Qiming 1158

Chapter 1282 Daming Dad is here
The Ming army's offensive was extremely ferocious and fierce, and the warlords of Sichuan and Shu had no time to react.

At the beginning of December, they learned of the Ming army's actions. Except for Hou Pu who was shocked and led his troops back north to rescue their old nest, the other four warlords hurriedly convened an emergency meeting.

The forces of Lu, Du Ren, Liu Zhuang, Liu Shi, and Xie Qingsheng were not under the deterrence of the Ming army for the time being, so they could still maintain their calm, and they got together to hold an emergency response meeting to discuss what to do. Cope with the current situation.

Some said that they should unite to form a coalition to counter the Ming army, some said that they should split up to defend the Ming army, some said that they should take Chengdu as soon as possible and then counter the Ming army, and some said that everyone should simply surrender.

Surrender is of course impossible. One or two of these people feel that they are incompatible with the Ming Kingdom, especially those under their command, who are from landlords and tycoons, feel that surrendering to the Ming Kingdom is tantamount to suicide, and they will not do such a thing, so Quickly reject the surrender motion.

Then the next thing is how to fight.

Lu suggested to form a coalition army, and the coalition army should be responsible for fighting against the Ming army. Because the Ming army is very strong, a single army will only be defeated by them. At present, only four of their seven major warlords are still in Chengdu, and they can unite and resist. They are all divided, and this battle will not be fought.

Everyone go back to wash their necks and wait for Ming to clean up them.

Lu's suggestion is of course justified. Most people think that it is wrong to resist the Ming army separately. We should gather all the troops to resist the Ming army together, so as to have the possibility of victory.

But then again, the alliance belongs to the alliance, how to fight this battle, how to determine everyone's command and tasks, who is mainly responsible for command and who is mainly responsible for execution, these are all questions.

So a group of people started fighting.

Lu felt that his strength was the strongest, and he should be responsible for the overall command and be the leader of the alliance.

Du Ren felt that he had the highest military success following Wu Lin and should be in charge of the command.

Xie Qingsheng felt that he had followed Wu Lin the longest, had the most seniority, and had the highest military rank before the war, so he should be in charge of the command.

Liu Shi directly recommended his elder brother Liu Zhuang as the leader of the alliance, on the grounds that he was the only leader who did not belong to the Song army system, and he was in charge of command without selfishness.

All four parties believed that they were the most suitable candidate, and they did not intend to accept their respective proposals. The scene fell into a stalemate for a while. They did not even fight in Chengdu. Very happy.

It was not until the news of Houpu's annihilation came that Xie Qingsheng, who had been threatened in Tongchuan House's nest, turned pale in shock and regardless of returning to Tongchuan House with his troops, did the last three remaining armies realize the seriousness of the problem.

They did not think it was a wise choice to confront the Ming army head-on. However, the old nest of a large number of Xie Qingsheng's subordinates was in Tongchuan Mansion.

Xie Qingsheng was helpless and could only lead the troops to the meeting. No matter how the other three blocked, they couldn't stop Xie Qingsheng.

They didn't dare to say anything else, but they dared to say that no matter what they did, they would really be defeated.

The three parties were very nervous and did not dare to quarrel. They all laid out their bottom line. After a compromise, they finally agreed to let Lu be the leader of the alliance and fully command their three armies.

However, when everyone's nest is threatened, Lu must provide them with food and sustenance, and during military operations, everyone's respective armies must each account for one-third of the amount, and the command level must also include the heads of the three armies. , Whenever there is a major event, everyone must discuss it together.

The three parties are not satisfied, but this is also the situation that the three parties can accept.

Then, the three parties began to discuss whether to fight Chengdu or resist the Ming army first.

It was noisy again.

Some people say that if you fight against the outside world, you must be in peace first, and some say that you can get everything if you defeat the Ming army. Anyway, there are endless quarrels, and before they quarreled with a result, news spread that Xie Qingsheng was beaten and wiped out the entire army. coming.

Tongchuan Mansion is over.

The three forces were completely dumbfounded, and it was only at this moment that they suddenly realized a big question - is the Ming army a little too strong?And is the Ming army about to reach Chengdu?

The three forces looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and then Lu asked - who wants to guard the Huai'an army?

Of course no one wants to go.

No one could even say what to do next.

What happened after that was no surprise.

The three forces no longer have any confidence in the fierce Ming army to win a battle in Chengdu City, and there is a high probability that Du Ren and Liu Zhuang and Liu Shi will not be able to return to their old nest, so they quickly reached a new protocol.

Du Ren led the army to Longzhou, Liu Zhuang and Liu Shi brothers led the army to Meizhou, and Lu hid in Jiadingfu further south.

Du Ren and the Liu brothers agreed to obey Lu's orders and help Lu Ding defend the Ming army in the north in exchange for the qualifications to garrison Longzhou and Meizhou.

Then they immediately sent people back to quickly take the family members of the middle and high-level military to take refuge.

As for the other little people...

Die or die, they don't care.

Lu was also willing to agree to this request, because he felt that, even if he was defeated, someone would be able to stand up for him.

The momentum of the Ming army was a bit too fierce, so that they were still fighting for power and profit. As soon as they reacted, they learned that the Ming army had already hit the front.

What else is going on here?
But then again.

What kind of pattern can a warlord supported by a group of local landlords and tyrants?
Their pattern is not even as good as Ma Yongkang and Wu Ting who stick to Chengdu.

Ma Yongkang and Wu Xiaoxi made the layout ahead of time, surrendered the Ming Kingdom, and used the tough city defense under the premise of knowing the future. They did their best to survive the tsunami-like offensive of more than [-] troops for about two months , and finally persisted until the Ming army came to aid.

And these warlords were all thinking about being the king and winning the bird seat. Except for Lu who paid a little attention to some news about Chengdu, the others were blind, only looking at the front, never looking around and the future.

In mid-to-late December, with the successive retreat of the besieging troops, the city of Chengdu, which had been cut off from internal and external communication, actually had an inference that the Ming army had arrived in the middle of Shu, and with the retreat of all the besieging troops, this inference was finally confirmed. .

It's just that they still don't dare to leave the city rashly, and they are still worried that there will be problems.

Until December 26, when the vanguard cavalry of the Ming army rushed outside the city of Chengdu, waving the flag of the Ming army and shouting the slogan of victory of the Ming army into the city, Ma Yongkang, Wu Ting and others stood on the top of the city, Finally couldn't help the tears welled up.

It's finally here, it's finally here.

Daming dad, I... I've been waiting so hard for you!
The gate of Chengdu, which had been closed for more than two months, opened again, and the once precarious Chengdu city was finally preserved.

Chen Qixian, the pioneer general of the Ming Army and the general of the cavalry directly under the Qilu Corps, led the vanguard of the Ming Army into the city, and met with tears of Ma Yongkang, Wu Ting and others, and officially met them.

On December 29, Su Haisheng, the chief general of the Ming army going south, arrived in Chengdu, entered Chengdu, which had been taken over by the Ming army, met with Ma Yongkang, Wu Ting and others, and formally accepted their surrender.

The Ming army entered Sichuan campaign, so far it can be regarded as a success.

Although there are still some small fish and shrimps that have not been solved, since the Ming army has reached the Shuzhong Plain, they have no chance of survival.

This battle, won.
