The next evening, Zhu Gaoxu's army's infantry and cavalry and about 120,000 people arrived in Chongqing Prefecture City.
But the army did not enter the city and camped between Chengxiang Villages in the southwest; because the Han Wangjun would not stay in Chongqing Prefecture City for too long, and the Dajiang Ferry was in the southwest.
The city is like a peninsula, located at the intersection of the two rivers, surrounded by water on three sides, surrounded by the Dajiang and Jialing River.
Zhu Gaoxu ordered the generals and guard commanders to be responsible for camping and bring his men into the city to meet with the forward Qu Neng.
Qu Neng went out of the city to greet him, leading Zhu Gaoxu and others to the vicinity of Dongshuimen.
Qu Neng's vanguard army had more than 60,000 troops, almost twice that of Mu Sheng's troops left behind in Chengdu.
Although Mu Sheng's troops were responsible for the wealthy western Sichuan plain and the management of defense in northern Sichuan, they had to defend Jiannan Pass, advance Hanzhong, and defend Shaanxi; however, Zhu Gaoxu and the generals of the generals agreed that Sichuan's biggest threat came from Huguang in the east.
Therefore, the heavy troops left behind in Sichuan were in the hands of Qu Neng.
Zhu Gaoxu and others rode into the city, but there were no signs of a war on the city gates and walls.It seems that Qu Neng's capture of this city is not difficult.
It is said that in the late Song Dynasty, there were many fortresses in Chongqing, which resisted the attacks of the Mongolian and Yuan army for many years, among which Diaoyu City was the most famous.
The complex terrain here did not stop the advance of the Han Wang Army at this time.
After all, Zhu Gaoxu was not an alien invasion.Chongqing Prefecture City has empty troops and people are dispersed. The key is that Xue Lu also ran away!
Western Sichuan respects Taoism and Confucianism, and produces literati; here they respect ghosts and martial arts, and produces military generals.Qu Neng said something from time to time along the way, showing his experience as a military officer in Sichuan for many years. The terrain is undulating and rugged, the people are struggling, the people are brave and fearless, and they often fight with weapons.Xue Luruo really has the determination to serve the court without hesitation, it will definitely not be so easy for us to break through Chongqing...
Zhu Gaoxu was talking to Qu Neng while riding a horse to see the scenery around him.
Sure enough, the scenery you see is very different from that of Chengdu City, and you have the illusion that you are not the same province.
The road paved with old stone slabs is undulating and winding, and the roads outside the main road are even narrower; the old and quaint tiled houses are very dense, as if they are overlapping and crowded together.
This place is so rugged, but it is located at the intersection of the two rivers. It is convenient for water transportation and is an important stronghold for water entering and leaving Sichuan.
The group came to Qu Neng's headquarters, near Dongshuimen, and was located on a high ground.
Zhu Gaoxu stood outside the courtyard gate and looked out. His vision was relatively wide, and he could overlook the river in the distance. A little closer, there were blue-brown roofs, countless densely packed, and two stone steps were winding among them, so it was obvious that he could not drive.
I asked someone to open the door, I should have been to join the King of Han long ago!Suddenly a shout came.
Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and looked in the sound. There was a man facing him, his head was very abrupt like a long radish that had just been pulled out of the ground.
He walked over with a beating and crooked, his face full of injuries, one eye wrapped in cloth, and the other eyelid was hanging down, and there was no sign of his expression.
The man came over and said with his fists: Xu Hua, the commander of Chongqing Guard, will pay homage to the King of Han.
Oh... Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized that he had sent a secret envoy to contact Xu Hua, but was flatly rejected.Zhu Gaoxu made a gesture, why did General Xu look like this?
Xu Hua said: The Jinyiwei beat him!I didn't want to surrender before, but Xue Lu and the people from the Jinyiwei insisted that I had an affair with the King of Han.If you don’t ask, you will beat me when you catch me. If you beat me like this, will I not surrender?
Zhu Gaoxu was stunned and looked at Liu Ying next to him. Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: OK! As long as you can abandon darkness and turn to light, it will never be too late.
However, Xu Hua was suspected of having an affair with the rebels and was not dead, but he didn't know what was going on.
Zhu Gaoxu decided to say hello to Qu Neng and ask clearly the whole story, but after Xu Hua spoke bluntly, there was probably not much problem... After opening the city gate on his own initiative, who would say that I didn't want to surrender to you like this?
Zhu Gaoxu said: Commander Xu has good health and healing his wounds. After healing, he will come to Governor Qu and ask Governor Qu to arrange errands for you.
Xu Hua said: I will obey the order!
Zhu Gaoxu walked into the yard, and there was a patio inside, and above the patio was a central hall.It is filled with maps, paper and ink.
He looked at Qu Neng's map, and the handwriting on it was different, and it was drawn by many people.
Although there are many pictures, Zhu Gaoxu cannot see the reason from this map.
The terrain in eastern Sichuan is so complex that it cannot be expressed by such brush drawings.
Qu Neng and others were talking about military affairs next to them. They pointed to the location on the map to discuss... There were only brush lines and blank paper on the map, which really tests imagination.
It was getting late at this time, and the guards packed up a square table and prepared dinner.Everyone sat on the table, but the topic still didn't stop.
Qu Neng's voice said: The gateway to the east of Sichuan is in Kuizhou Prefecture (Fengjie), but this city is narrow and trapped among the mountains, which is not conducive to the garrison of the army; only one elite army can be sent to Kuizhou Prefecture to be the garrison and set it up as a front army.
Our army can only be arranged to the west.There are three things that need to be considered: one is food and grass, two is the time to rush to Kuizhou, and three is the navy.Finally, we selected two places, Chongqing Prefecture and Da County.
Training the naval army in Chongqing Prefecture and setting up a large warehouse as a heavy military ration.Our navy can go down the river and rely on the Three Gorges of Badong to resist the enemy's navy; and the grain and supplies transported to the front line can also be convenient for water transportation from Chongqing Prefecture.
Qu Neng held the chopsticks, but didn't eat a single bite of food. Then he said: The prince proposed to set up a Daying in Dazhou (Dazhou) to the east, and he thought it was very appropriate.
The terrain in eastern Sichuan is like the character "Chuan", with mountains crisscrossing north and south, dividing the terrain of mountains and rivers.
Daxian and Chongqing are far away, but they are located in the same valley, and there are no obstacles in the contact between them.
The land army is in Daxian County. One can rush to help Chongqing Prefecture; the other can rush to help Kuizhou Prefecture (Fengjie).
Reinforcements left Kuizhou Prefecture from the east of Daxian County, closer to Chongqing.If a warehouse is set up in Yunyang County and Wanxian (Wanzhou), the grain, grass, military supplies and water are transported to the second place; it can supplement the reinforcements needed by the county.If the army has food along the way, the disadvantage of the baggage and vehicles being trapped in the mountains is avoided; even if there are mountains and rivers blocking, the army can still be mobilized freely.
Liu Ying said: The prince gave Governor Qu more than 60,000 troops. Why didn’t he arrange troops? First, he seized Wushan County and Guizhou (Badong), and then tried to march into Yiling Prefecture (Yichang), thinking that he would go east to advance to the front post in the future?But has he already curbed his main force on the front lines of Chongqing and Daxian?
Governor Liu, if you have never guarded one side, you don’t have to take responsibility, which is of course easy to say.Qu Neng first showed a slight disapproval and said earnestly that you need to practice more.
Liu Ying frowned and said: Bashan is close to the left, and the mountains are piled up, so the battle between camps cannot be set up. Too many people and horses is useless!
Is this the Chinese sturgeon?!Zhu Gaoxu suddenly spoke.Everyone had to stop arguing and look at a big fish on the table he was pointing at.
Miao Jin didn't look at the fish, but turned to observe Zhu Gaoxu's face.
Qu Nengdao: It is sturgeon, and it is also known as the "fish king". Chen Zangqi of the Tang Dynasty said, "Its meat is used to nourish the qi, strengthen the body, boil juice and drink, and treat blood; its nose and meat are used as dried to nourish the qi; its seeds are like small beans, which are healthy and can kill small insects in the abdomen."Good things all over the body.
Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said: I will gain more knowledge tonight.I took the bowl over and I'll pick up some for you and try them all.
Then why are you so embarrassed? I dare not.Qu Nengdao.
Zhu Gaoxu stretched out his hand directly, and Qu Neng had to hand over the small bowl in front of him.Then he reached out to Liu Ying.
Um!tasty.Zhu Gaoxu picked a piece of meat and put it into his mouth, praised it, then closed his eyes and chewed it intoxicatingly.
Miao Jin whispered: The King of Han seems to like eating fish.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: Miaojin is right. I just love to eat fish, and my favorite is sea fish!I also like the sea, but unfortunately I was blocked to the farthest place from the sea. What do you think... how can the world do what it wants?
Everyone no longer talked about military affairs. When talking about various foods, Qu Neng and Liu Ying both talked about the food that impressed them the most.They are all snacks from my hometown.
After finishing the meal, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly said after leaving the table: By the way, Governor Liu's infantry formation is quite good.In the battle of peace, columns and horizontal teams alternated and changed, and I admired them very much when the military orders were not delivered smoothly in the evening.
However, in the defense of eastern Sichuan, I still agree with General Qu's deployment.General Qu is right, be alone and take responsibility; if I interfere too much with you, how can you take all the responsibility?
He paused and said with a kind look: If the responsibility can be taken care of by others, then who will dare to take responsibility in the future?
The two generals clasped their fists and worshiped each other.Because I had talked about food for a long time and missed my hometown, everyone's anger completely disappeared, and at this time they stopped arguing.
Zhu Gaoxu was full and walked out of the yard again, watching the scenery by the riverside at night, watching the lights on the hillside and on the pier, undulating and shining, showing the curve created by the Creator.
He couldn't help but sigh: The country is so beautiful!
At this moment, Liu Ying walked behind and clasped her fists and said: "I'm too much, please punish me!"
Zhu Gaoxu turned around, looked at Liu Ying, smiled, and said: What's wrong with talking too much? Your opinions all make sense, and there is no question of who is right or wrong, and where are the differences...
Liu Ying said: I am willing to hear the details of it last time.
Zhu Gaoxu said: General Qu is a person who has experienced great failures, but General Liu did not.
Liu Ying's eyes moved upwards, as if she was thinking about something.
Zhu Gaoxu said again: I remember saying something to Zhang Fu when I was in Annan Kingdom.A person with power can easily inflate himself, and only when he sees great failure and is unable to bear it will truly know how to repent.
Liu Ying bowed deeply and stopped talking.
Miao Jin next to him said: What the prince said is quite interesting.
Zhu Gaoxu said: This is the case when people are young. For example, if they want to gamble, their parents cannot control them.Only after suffering a lot of hardships can you understand.
With silence around, Zhu Gaoxu continued to look at the night view, thinking about something.
But the army did not enter the city and camped between Chengxiang Villages in the southwest; because the Han Wangjun would not stay in Chongqing Prefecture City for too long, and the Dajiang Ferry was in the southwest.
The city is like a peninsula, located at the intersection of the two rivers, surrounded by water on three sides, surrounded by the Dajiang and Jialing River.
