"Hehe, your thinking is too simple. If we don't come, Zhao Wen will break through the capital at that time, and then we will really lose our heads.
Although we are now thrown into this America to be some kind of governor, it is not impossible to survive.If we really wait until Zhao Wen breaks through the capital, we will die without a place to die. "
The matter of surrendering to Zhao Wen was thought up and implemented by Qian Qianyi, and Qian Qianyi would certainly not admit that the current situation was caused by himself.
……
Zhongzhou is located in the eastern part of Sichuan and is connected to Huguang.It is also the seat of the prefectural capital of Chongqing Prefecture.
Zhongzhou City was originally a relatively stable city. Although the people in the city were not very rich, they lived relatively peacefully.
However, the calm is short-lived. There are wailing sounds everywhere in Zhongzhou City today, and the atmosphere in Zhongzhou City is even more depressing to the extreme.
In the yamen in the city, a middle-aged female general wearing a padded jacket sits at the head of the yamen hall.
Although she is a woman, the heroism on her face is not comparable to that of ordinary generals.
This person is none other than the famous Qin Liangyu in history.
Qin Liangyu is the only person in history who is recorded in history books and biographyed separately. Although this person is a woman, she is not comparable to ordinary people in fighting, especially the white soldiers under her command are the elite of this era .
Of course, there is a premise for all this, that is, don't run into Zhao Wen's soldiers.
Qin Liangyu has fought for half his life, and has never encountered such a difficult opponent.
Since Liu Wu led the army into Sichuan, it didn't take long to conquer Chengdu as if entering and exiting no one's land.
When Liu Wu began to attack Sichuan, Qin Liangyu was leading the white soldiers in Guizhou to suppress and kill the remnants of the resurgent She'an Rebellion.
The Anshe Rebellion in history lasted for a very long time. Although the She'an Rebellion had been quelled during the reign of Tianqi, it was not completely wiped out.
As Zhao Wen galloped across the land of the Central Plains, these remnant soldiers in the southwest rose up to make trouble again.
Therefore, Qin Liangyu led his soldiers and horses into Guizhou again.
Previously, Chongzhen once recruited Qin Liangyu and asked her to lead troops to the north to King Qin, and at that time Qin Liangyu also led troops to go.
After going there, Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses did not attack the capital, and Chongzhen appointed Sun Chuanting as the governor of the three provinces, so Qin Liangyu was allowed to return to Sichuan.
After all, the remnants of the She'an Rebellion have not been wiped out.
"Tell me, how should we deal with Bandit Zhao's troops!" Qin Liangyu looked at the people sitting in the hall with a gloomy expression.
When Liu Wu began to attack Sichuan, Qin Liangyu hurriedly ended the battle in Guizhou and led his troops northward into Sichuan.
However, her marching speed was not as fast as Liu Wu's. Before she entered Chengdu, Chengdu was captured by Liu Wu.
Qin Liangyu had no choice but to lead his troops into Zhongzhou.
Zhongzhou is where Chongqing Fucheng is located, and it is also the hometown of Qin Liangyu, who has a high prestige in Zhongzhou.
Before, Liu Wu took all the north of Chengdu and the west of Chengdu, and then divided his army into three branches, each with about 1 people, and began to raise troops Go south and east, ready to take Sichuan completely.
Liu Wu's soldiers and horses came all the way, attacking the city and looting land was as simple as eating and drinking water, and the soldiers and horses along the way were not Liu Wu's opponents at all.
As the war progressed, more and more remnants and fleeing civilians poured into Chungju.
According to these remnant soldiers and the fleeing civilians, a part of Liu Wu's division is now heading towards Chongqing Mansion, and the army is not far away from Chongqing Mansion. After knowing the news, Qin Liangyu sent a large number of Ye Bu Shou.
After several days of investigation, Qin Liangyu finally figured out the intention and location of Liu Wu's army.
Sichuan is mountainous, and Qin Liangyu's troops often fight in the mountains, so it is not so easy for Liu Wu's troops to wipe out Qin Liangyu's Yebushou in the mountains.
After figuring out the intention and location of this army, Qin Liangyu led all the troops under his command to attack decisively and lay in ambush at the place where Chongqing must pass, more than 150 miles north of Chongqing.
This is a valley. At the beginning of the war, because Qin Liangyu was fully prepared, he caught Liu Wu's partial division by surprise. Qin Liangyu led the soldiers and horses to a high place, and threw rolling wood and rocks down. Liu Wu's partial division was caught off guard for a while. Unable to expand formation.
However, as the battle progressed, when Liu Wu's partial division set up the mortar, the balance of victory instantly fell to Liu Wu's partial division.
The battle lasted less than an hour, and Qin Liangyu's soldiers and horses were scattered and fled by the mortar shells.
Seeing this, Qin Liangyu hurriedly gathered his troops and retreated to Chongqing Mansion.
However, Liu Wu's partial division did not take advantage of the victory to catch up, but camped on the spot to diagnose and treat the wounded.
After all, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, and the white-armed soldiers on the opposite side are famous for mountain warfare, so chasing may not be able to catch up.
Anyway, this place is not far from Chongqing Mansion, after arriving at Chongqing Mansion, just take Chongqing Mansion directly.
Now the wailing in the city is basically made by the wounded soldiers who fled back.
"Zhao thief's soldiers and horses are really too difficult to deal with. What we dealt with before was only a partial division. The strength of a partial division is so strong. If we really face their main force, we may not even last for a quarter of an hour. Don’t come down.” Qin Liangyu’s son Ma Xianglin looked at his mother helplessly.
Ma Xianglin is the son of Qin Liangyu and Ma Qiancheng, and Ma Qiancheng is the successor of General Fubo Ma Yuan.
Although Ma Xianglin is one-eyed, he is fearless in battle and is known as "Little Ma Chao" in the army.
"That's right, our army uses white long spears, and they are no match for Zhao's bandits at all.
Their firecrackers hit very far, and they have powerful artillery in their hands. Although we caught them by surprise at the beginning a few days ago, it was entirely due to the advantages of the terrain and their lack of preparation. , we are definitely not their opponents. "
Qin Liangyu's nephew Qin Yiming frowned and looked at Qin Liangyu solemnly.
"That's true. We are no match for Zhao Thief at all. Now that Zhao Wen is powerful, I heard that Zhao Wen has ascended the throne in Xuanzhen and proclaimed himself emperor. It is estimated that Zhao Wen's subordinates will speed up their attack on Sichuan in the future." Qin Liangyu said another Nephew Qin Bangming also said with a serious face.
Except for these few people, almost everyone in the yamen had serious expressions on their faces.
Looking at the state of these people in the yamen, Qin Liangyu sighed, "Oh, how come I don't know what you are talking about? But now that Bandit Zhao's army is strong, can't we shrink back because of Bandit Zhao's strength?
Don't forget, the Chongqing government is still our hometown. Are you just watching your hometown die like this?What's more, the imperial court treats us well, can we give up because of Zhao's power? "
"But, but, but thief Zhao's soldiers and horses are too powerful, and our team can't charge up at all. They killed them before they got in front of them. We can't fight this kind of battle at all. ah.
Sichuan is not an important town on the nine borders. Among all the prefectures and counties in Sichuan, there are not even a few artillery pieces. How can we be the opponent of Zhao thief? "Ma Xianglin said helplessly.
In the previous battle, Ma Xianglin had already been frightened by Liu Wu's partial division.
To this day, whenever Ma Xianglin thinks of the battle that day, he still has lingering fears in his heart.
At this moment, a soldier rushed in panting.
"It's not good. The partial army we ambushed before is less than [-] miles away from the capital city of Chongqing. It won't be long before they will be able to attack the city. Now, they have broken through all the county towns along the way." The soldier stood in the middle of the hall and rushed towards the city. Qin Liangyu cupped his hands and shouted loudly.
"What?" Qin Liangyu screamed, stood up straight away, and looked at the soldier in disbelief.
"Although we didn't win that battle, we destroyed the road we passed when we came back, and it rained a few more times, making the road even more slippery and muddy. It took only five or six days. How could they do it so quickly? ?”
Qin Liangyu couldn't believe how fast this partial team was.
"Fifty miles, fifty miles, how can it be so fast. This is not the Central Plains. The mountain road is rugged, and I have destroyed the road and it is raining. It is impossible for Zhao's soldiers and horses to be so fast." Qin Liangyu kept shaking. Head, eyes full of disbelief.

Chapter 648 Winning the Chongqing Mansion
Sichuan is not the Central Plains. Although Liu Wu's division was only 150 miles away from Chongqing, it was a straight-line distance.
Although the straight-line distance is only 150 miles, I don't know how much longer the real distance is than 150 miles.
The mountain roads in Chongqing Prefecture are rugged and endless, and there is no hardened cement, so it is very difficult to walk.
Qin Liangyu really did not expect that the speed of this partial division would be so fast, and it would soon reach outside the Chongqing Mansion in just a few days.
Qin Liangyu said solemnly: "Order everyone to go up to the city wall and prepare to defend the city.
In addition to this, recruit young and strong people in the city and work together to defend the city. "
"I'll wait for orders!"
The generals in the hall saluted Qin Liangyu, and then walked out of the hall.
The sky gradually dimmed, and a team of about 5000 people stopped in a relatively open place.
The camp has also been set up, with a bonfire burning in the camp, and soldiers patrolling the camp at night.
When this army set off from Chengdu, there were a total of 1 people, but at this time, only 5000 were left.
As for the other men and horses, they either escorted the captives to Chengdu, or stayed in the conquered counties.
In the center of the camp, a huge tent was brightly lit. A middle-aged man in armor sat on the main seat, looking at the generals and counselors standing in the hall.
The man's name is Gao Pingliang, and he is the leading general of this partial division.
"Now the straight-line distance to Chongqing is less than 100 miles, and the real distance is about [-] miles. The mountain road is very rugged. It is estimated that we will have to walk another two or three days to reach the outside of Chongqing.
Now that the war in Henan and Shaanxi is over, only Sichuan is left.In addition, Mr. Chief Soldier has already ascended the throne, so our speed should be faster.
The number of soldiers and horses attacking Sichuan is about the same as that of attacking Shaanxi. There are many mountain roads in Sichuan, so the artillery in our hands is only mortars, but this is not the reason for our slow speed.
The new dynasty is already established, and I don't want to drag down His Majesty's ambitions because our speed is too slow.Therefore, the general decided to start marching in a hurry from tomorrow, and rush to Chongqing Mansion non-stop without any delay. "
Gao Pingliang looked at the generals in the big tent and said loudly.
These subordinates of Zhao Wen have a strong sense of honor and competitive spirit.
Now their speed of attacking Sichuan has become the slowest, which makes these people lose face.
In addition, now that Zhao Wen has been enthroned as emperor, and the new dynasty has been established, rewards will be rewarded for meritorious deeds. If the attack on Sichuan is too slow, resulting in fewer rewards, then the whole army will not be reconciled of.
"I'll wait for orders!"
The generals in the big tent clasped their fists at Gao Pingliang and said loudly.
"Our speed is too fast, which will definitely cause the grain transportation channel to be too narrow and long, and the people who transport the grain will definitely not be able to transport the grain and grass up in time. Therefore, you must prepare in advance. After conquering Chongqing Mansion, you will eat in Chongqing Mansion.
After arriving in Chongqing Mansion, try to take Chongqing Mansion for me within one day, and the whole area of Chongqing Mansion within one month, not to mention the rugged mountain roads, I only have one month. "Gao Pingliang said hurriedly.
……
A few days later, Yebushou sent by Gao Pingliang began to appear outside the Chongqing government.
Ye Bushou rode a war horse around Chongqing Mansion, spying on the military layout and terrain around Chongqing Mansion.
Qin Liangyu stood on the gate tower of the north city wall of Chongqing Fucheng, looking at Yebushu cruising outside the city with a serious expression on his face.
"Zhao thief's soldiers and horses have arrived. This is their night not to accept. I'm afraid the follow-up troops are not far away from us."
"Mother, the weapons of Zhao's soldiers and horses are too powerful. Can we really defend the city?" Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin looked at Ye Buchao cruising outside the city, his face full of worry.
"Yeah, not to mention the gap between the weapons in our hands and theirs, the armor on their bodies is not comparable to us.
Almost all of Zhao's soldiers and horses wear armor, but our soldiers only have armor, and the quality of the armor is not as good as that of Zhao's soldiers and horses. "Qin Yiming said solemnly.
Qin Liangyu let out a long breath, "Don't be intimidated by the Zhao thieves before. We have encountered countless enemies since the beginning of the campaign. We have fought many battles, winning and losing. As the saying goes, victory or defeat is the How can you be discouraged by a single failure?"
Qin Liangyu persuaded these generals that if the generals did not have confidence, there would be no way to defend the city.
In fact, these generals can't be blamed, it's because the weapons in Zhao Wen's hands are too powerful, so powerful that these generals don't even have confidence in themselves.
In this era, Zhao Wen's weapon is not afraid of anyone, let alone Qin Liangyu.
"In the future, let others build up their ambitions, and say less about destroying your own prestige. The most urgent task now is to defend the city well, and keep the city well. Put all the soldiers and horses in the city and the young men recruited on the city wall for me. The equipment must also be properly prepared, and there must be no mistakes." Qin Liangyu said, and began to patrol the city wall with his personal guards.
Two days later, Gao Pingliang led the army and finally arrived outside the city of Chongqing.
Gao Pingliang was riding on a war horse, looking at Chongqing Fucheng not far ahead, with a smile on his face.
"It's not easy, it's not easy, it's really not easy. If it was placed in the Central Plains, we would have arrived long ago. But in this land of Sichuan and Chongqing, it is really too difficult. Fortunately, we arrived in time." Gao Pingliang jumped from his horse Jumping down, he looked at the messenger who was beside him, "Order the whole army to set up camp five miles outside Chongqing Mansion, and at the same time order the artillerymen in the army to start setting up artillery positions four miles outside the city.
The troops in our hands are limited, so we cannot surround the city on all sides. I pass on my order to encircle the north and east walls of the city.The artillery in the army is deployed outside the north and east city walls. Tomorrow morning, we will bomb the city gates and walls with all our strength, trying to blast the city gates and walls in the shortest possible time.
Let the three, five, and seven thousand households go to the east wall, and the rest will besiege the north wall with me. "Gao Pingliang looked at the orderly and shouted loudly.
The artillery in Gao Pingliang's army is mortars, and the power of mortars is not comparable to that of cannon howitzers, so Gao Pingliang can only concentrate the mortars in his hands and bombard the north and east walls.
Under Gao Pingliang's order, the army that had just arrived outside the Chongqing government moved again, and began to go to their respective places according to Gao Pingliang's order.
Qin Liangyu stood on the city wall, looking out of the city with solemn eyes.
She understood that if the Chongqing government couldn't defend it, there would be no place in the Chongqing government that could stop these soldiers and horses.
At that time, the fall of the Chongqing government will become a matter of time.
Moreover, once the Chongqing government falls, these soldiers and horses will definitely divert to the southwest, and together with the army attacking the southwest, they will form a pair of iron tongs to firmly clamp the southwest of Sichuan.
"Order everyone to strengthen the city's defenses. No mistakes are allowed. Anyone who dares to disturb our army's morale at this time will be punished. There are more than ten thousand defenders in our hands and young and strong recruits. I don't have the strength to fight." Qin Liangyu shouted.
Standing behind her, Ma Xianglin cupped his hands at her, and then hurried along the city wall with his personal guards.
Time passed by every minute and every second. When the sun rose from the horizon the next day, smoke rose from Gao Pingliang's camp.
Gao Pingliang was sitting in the big tent, drinking a bowl of rice porridge.
After finishing the rice porridge, Gao Ping wiped his mouth, put the bowls and chopsticks in his hands on the table, and then walked out.
