Chapter 124 New tactics

Qing soldiers made a surprise attack on Cangxi County, and Zhang Xianzhong was killed by an arrow as per the historical script. The news reached Suining on the evening of the next day.

Wan Jun immediately realized that the Daxi soldiers could no longer go south to Yunnan and Guizhou like in history. There was only one direction they could run, which was to go northwest and enter Gansu.

The remnants of Zhang Xianzhong's army have nothing to do anymore. As long as the Qing troops are prevented from entering Sichuan, the entire Bashu will be in the hands of the Chinese army.

However, the remnants of Daxi still have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. If they can be surrendered, they can increase their combat power a lot.

It's just Wang Huan's hatred for Zhang Xianzhong. How will it be resolved at that time? If the hatred is transferred to the Daxi Army, how will this conflict be resolved at that time?

Wang Huan gradually recovered in Suining, and before the army set off, he sent Zhao Guangyuan to lead the troops, escort Wang Huan to Chengdu to recuperate, and at the same time take over Chengdu's defense.

If Liu Huiding wanted to capture and surrender the Great Western Army, Liu Huiding's Left Hand Army could not bring it with him. Wan Jun notified Liu Huiding of the death of Zhang Xianzhong, and evacuated Liu Huiding and his Left Hand Army to Chongqing, while he took Cui Ziyi to capture and surrender the remnants of the Great Western Army.

Once Zhang Xianzhong died, the Daxi Army surrendered, and the Qing troops were blocked north of Daba Mountain, and the whole of Sichuan could settle down.

Zhang Dingguo ranked second among Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons, but he was tolerant in his actions and brave in battle, and had a high prestige among the Great Western Army.

The Great Western Army is known as the "Ten Thousand Enemies".

After successfully ambushing Yang Zhan, Zhang Dingguo and Yang Zhan formed a confrontation. Unexpectedly, news soon arrived from Zhang Nengqi that Zhang Xianzhong was killed in a sneak attack by barbarians in Cangxi County. He was asked to break away from contact with Yang Zhan in the south as soon as possible and move closer to Mianyang.

Shortly after retreating from Deyang, Zhang Dingguo received news from Sun Kewang again. The Hu people were blocked in the north by the Chinese army. Jiange had surrendered to the Chinese army. He and Zhang Nengqi's troops were asked to wait in Mianyang while the Daxi Army surrendered to the Chinese army.

In Mianyang, Zhang Dingguo met Zhang Nengqi. It had only been a month since they last saw each other in the army, but now his adoptive father Zhang Xianzhong died in battle and the Daxi Army surrendered.

The two of them felt as if they had changed the world. Zhang Dingguo asked about the details of the emperor's death in battle, but Zhang Nengqi only saw the emperor's body in Jiange and did not know the details of the death.

The two stabilized the morale of the army in Mianyang and waited for the Chinese army to surrender.

Two days later, after receiving news of the surrender of the Great Western Army, Yang Zhan's troops rushed to Mianyang.

Outside Mianyang City, Zhang Dingguo and Zhang Nengqi greeted him with their own soldiers.

The former enemies on the battlefield wanted to kill each other. Now one is on the horse and the other is off the horse, looking at each other. Yang Zhan is sitting on the horse and looking at the young man in front of him.

Zhang Dingguo cupped his fists and said, "The last general, Zhang Dingguo, pays homage to General Yang."

Zhang Nengqi was at his side, and he cupped his fists and said, "General Zhang Nengqi, please pay homage to General Yang."

Yang Zhan sat on the horse and did not return the greeting. He glanced sideways at everyone, and finally his eyes stopped on Zhang Dingguo, "Are you Zhang Dingguo?"

Zhang Dingguo said, "He is the last general. In the past, each battlefield was his own master. I also ask General Yang to pay homage."

Yang Zhan sneered, "Deyang, I was careless. An ambush is not a real skill. I was preparing my troops to destroy you, but I didn't know you surrendered early."

Zhang Dingguo was furious in his heart, but now people had to bow their heads under the eaves. How could he lead his troops to surrender without being insulted? To stabilize his mind, Zhang Dingguo's attitude became more humble, "General Yang used his troops like a god, in Luzhou, Jiazhou, Meizhou

After winning consecutive battles, how can a general be compared with a general?"

Yang Zhan laughed loudly and said, "Very good, the defense of Mianyang City will be handed over to our army, and your troops will be resettled outside the city."

Zhang Ding

National Road, "The last general takes orders."

In accordance with Zhang Dingguo's order, the Daxi Army transferred troops and horses to the city defense. In order to prevent conflicts between the two armies, Zhang Dingguo personally led his soldiers to patrol throughout the city.

Fortunately, although Yang Zhan's troops were hostile to the Daxi soldiers, the Daxi troops followed the military orders and retreated when they could during the handover, so there was no conflict.

Just as the handover of various ministries was completed and the army was heading outside the city, a soldier suddenly rushed to Zhang Dingguo and said, "It's not good, general, the thieves are massacring the wounded soldiers in the camp."

Zhang Dingguo was shocked when he heard this, "How could this happen? Take me there quickly."

Several people rushed to the wounded soldiers camp. The camp was filled with blood. They saw Yang Zhan standing in the camp with his own soldiers on horseback. The soldiers were carrying swords and killing indiscriminately in the camp. When they saw Daxi's wounded soldiers, they just slashed them with their swords.

die.

Zhang Dingguo quickly dismounted and ran over, "General Yang, the army has surrendered, why did the general break his promise?"

Yang Zhan turned around and saw Zhang Dingguo, and said, "Don't worry, general. The army has limited food and grass. Suddenly there are so many more mouths to eat. These wounded soldiers will not survive anyway. Killing them can save some food."

Zhang Dingguo said, "These soldiers fought bravely. They have been injured and survived until now. They have begun to recover after treatment. They will all be veterans of hundreds of battles when they return to the battlefield. General, please be noble and don't kill them!"

Yang Zhan sneered, "He fought bravely, but he was wounded in Deyang?"

Zhang Dingguo suddenly understood that the limited food and grass was just an excuse, and said angrily, "General!"

Then Zhang Dingguo suddenly came back to his senses, suppressed the anger in his heart, and softened his tone and said, "If the general has a grudge in his heart, I will ask the last general to accuse him alone. I also ask the general to have a lot of people and let them live!"

Yang Zhan smiled and said, "What did General Zhang say? Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. How could I keep it in mind? It's just the soldiers in the camp avenging the brothers who died in Deyang."

The sword was waving in front of him and blood was flying in the camp. Zhang Dingguo knew that it was useless to ask Yang Zhan again, so he turned around and rode away.

When Zhang Dingguo returned to the army, he saw Zhang Nengqi leading his troops and horses, confronting Yang Zhan's army. Zhang Dingguo entered the camp and asked, "What's going on?"

Zhang Nengqi said, "The army is already filled with grief and indignation over what happened in the wounded barracks. The thieves are still coming to collect our weapons. I'm afraid that once the swords and guns are taken away, we will be nothing but fish on the chopping board."

Zhang Dingguo said angrily, "The letter from Jiange said that the Huaxia Army treats people very kindly. How could this happen?"

Zhang Nengqi said, "Weapons must not be handed over. I guess the letter is fake. My eldest brother was captured by the Chinese army and had to write like that."

Zhang Dingguo said, "If this is possible, send an order to all battalions not to surrender their weapons. If they dare to fight, we will fight them."

Yang Zhan became happy when he learned that the Daxi soldiers would not surrender their weapons. "These bandits are used to pretending to surrender. If they dare to take action now, they will have an excuse to destroy them."

After killing all the 2,000 wounded soldiers of the Daxi Army, regardless of their minor or serious injuries, Yang Zhan sent troops and horses to surround the Daxi Army.

Although the two sides were at war with each other, no one made the first move.

Early on the next morning, thousands of troops finally arrived at Mianyang, but the scene before them was a bit surprising.

Wan Jun was quite excited because he thought he could meet the famous historical figure Li Dingguo. At this time, when he saw Daxi soldiers and Yang Zhanbu fighting each other with swords and guns, he was confused for a moment and said, "Call Yang Zhan!"

Yang Zhan led the generals to greet the army and said, "I have met the head of state!"

Wan Jun was not polite, "Didn't the Daxi Army surrender? Why do you seem to want to fight?"

Yang Zhan said, "Back to the head of state, the Daxi soldiers are unwilling to surrender their weapons. The general will see that they have no sincerity, and most likely they are pretending to surrender!"

Wan Jun said, "Zhang Xianzhong is dead, and Sun Kewang of Jiange has surrendered. How could Li Dingguo pretend to surrender and send an order for Li Dingguo to come see me?"

Soon the soldiers came back to report, "Führer, Li Dingguo is in the army to answer the question. He is afraid that it is a plot by our army, so he dare not come over."

Wan Jun said angrily, "How unreasonable!"

Yang Zhan said, "It is a punishable crime to despise the head of state. I am willing to take Zhang Dingguo's head and present it to the head of state."

Wan Jun said, "No, in that case, I will go to the army and ask him."

Wan Jun led his personal guards to the front of the confrontation between the two armies.

When the Daxi Army surrendered Mianyang City, they did not bring much military supplies. They could not replenish the supplies after a night of confrontation. The morale and morale of the army depended entirely on Li Dingguo's prestige to stabilize them.

When Wan Jun arrived in front of the formation, he dismounted his horse and stepped forward alone, "I am Wan Jun, where is Li Dingguo?"

Zhang Dingguo met Wan Jun for the first time. Seeing that the opponent was unprepared, he came to the front of the formation, put down his guard, stepped forward and answered, "The last general is Zhang Dingguo. I have seen General Wan."

Wan Jun looked at the person who answered, and saw that the man was only thirty years old, with handsome features and handsome features, and he asked, "Are you Li Dingguo?"

Zhang Dingguo said, "The last name of the last general is Li, and now he takes his adoptive father's surname of Zhang."

Wan Jun was very excited when he saw the famous general who fought against the Qing Dynasty in history. This Li Dingguo looked so young. He had killed two princes of the Qing Dynasty in history. Not bad.

Wan Jun became more and more delighted as he watched, "I know, I know, your real surname is Li. Now that you have surrendered to the Chinese Army, don't mention anything about the past. Please return to your surname from now on."

Hearing this, Li Dingguo clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your great kindness, sir. I will thank you for your tens of thousands of Western troops, but I have something to ask you."

Wan Jun said, "You don't have to be polite in Dingguo. Why can't you just say it?"

Li Dingguo said, "Since our army surrendered to you, sir, Yang Zhan first killed me and injured thousands of people in the barracks, and then confiscated our weapons. I wonder what your intention is?"

Wan Jun said, "Is there such a thing?"

Li Dingguo said, "You can call Yang Zhan and confront him face to face."

Soon Yang Zhance stepped forward, dismounted behind Wan Jun and said, "What are the orders from the head of state?"

Wan Jun said, "What's going on in the wounded barracks?"

Yang Zhan said, "Our army has limited food and grass, and now there are tens of thousands more prisoners. I am afraid that the lack of food in the army will cause chaos, so..."

Wan Jun said angrily, "So you killed thousands of people in the wounded barracks?"

Yang Zhan said, "Back to the head of state, those two thousand people were wounded soldiers from Deyang fighting with our army. They killed many of our brothers at the beginning. Killing them to comfort the dead brothers can save some food."

Wan Jun looked at Yang Zhan and said angrily, "At the time of Deyang, both sides were their own masters. Now that they are their own brothers who have surrendered, how can we fight with swords and soldiers? Do you know your guilt?"

Yang Zhan showed no trace of anger on his face, clasped his fists and said, "The general will finally be found guilty, please punish me from the head of state."

Wan Jun weighed it in his mind for a long time and said, "In this battle, you led the troops to regain Chengdu and swept across northern Sichuan. You should be rewarded heavily for your hard work, but you are good at killing and wounding the military camp. Even if your merits and demerits are equal, I will not reward you or punish you."

Yang Zhan said, "Thank you very much, Head of State."

Wan Jun said to Li Dingguo, "Let this matter go. I will let the wounded soldiers in the barracks be buried generously. Can the two armies put down their weapons now?"
