Chapter 654 Expedition to Sichuan
As expected, Wu Sangui really fell to Nanjing, trying to compete with the Western Wei State by hugging Zhu Cihong's thick legs.

This shows that Wu Sangui is already alert, knowing that the Western Wei Dynasty will send troops to Sichuan, so Gao Yihuan can no longer give him time to prepare.

In Xi'an City, in the cabinet meeting hall, several academicians were discussing to open a market at the border to encourage the tea horse trade. Suddenly they saw Gao Yihuan walking in with wind, and they all stood up quickly and bowed to salute, "See Your Majesty."

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, walked to the seat and sat down, let everyone sit down, and then said directly: "Gu Wang took a look at the new cannons in Zhubaofang today, and the preparations for attacking Sichuan and Shu have been completed. Tomorrow, Gu Wang will go to Hanzhong. The affairs of Guanzhong will be handed over to a few gentlemen."

"So urgent?" Wang Shicong couldn't help but said, "Then let the Ministry of Rites prepare for the expedition ceremony!"

Gao Yihuan said: "No need, the solitary king entered Sichuan quietly, and the vassal government should keep quiet! In case Man Qing and Nanjing know in advance what is going on, they will contain the solitary king."

Although the Qing army is resting and the Ming army has no strength, as long as they pull out their posture, it will be enough for the Western Wei Dynasty to be nervous and frightened.

Therefore, Gao Yihuan did not intend to make a statement about the battle of entering Sichuan. During the preparation process, the Wei army also tried to keep concealed as much as possible, and did not transfer troops from Xi'an, and the transportation of materials was carried out quietly.

Previously, Gao Yihuan and the cabinet had discussed the matter of staying behind, and the cabinet was ready, but Li Yan still asked: "Your Majesty will leave tomorrow, but what else do you want to ask!"

Gao Yihuan pondered for a while, "I have already said what should be said. What the lonely king is most worried about is the safety of the pass. You must strictly guard the pass and prevent the Tartars from taking advantage of it. In addition, you can use tea and iron utensils. Go to Qinghai to change horses, and restore people's livelihood in Guanzhong."

Li Yan and others stood up and saluted together, "Don't worry, Your Majesty."

Gao Yihuan also stood up, "Well, the Ministry of War will send a fast horse to tell Jin Shenghuan that he will go west to Sichuan immediately without waiting any longer."

The next night, in the Wei Palace, Gao Yihuan was neatly dressed and put on a mighty golden lacquer armor. His whole body shone golden under the torchlight.

Gao Yihuan opened his arms. Princess Kunxing hesitated for a moment, but walked forward. Gao Yihuan hugged her, and then patted her on the back. Kunxing wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Gao Yihuan motioned for Zhao Juan to come over again, and hugged her with the other hand. Zhao Juan buried her head in his arms and said softly, "Your Majesty needs to come back earlier."

Gao Yihuan patted the backs of the two of them, and said with a smile, "Anxin is waiting for you!"

After releasing the two, Gao Yihuan took Gao Jianxing from Gao Zurong's arms again. The little guy was already asleep, so Gao Yihuan looked at Gao Zurong and said emotionally: "Father, I'm not in Guanzhong, pay attention to your body, and you can take care of your family affairs." Watch more."

Gao Zurong said calmly: "Don't worry, Dad and Jianxing will help you watch, nothing will happen!"

After finishing speaking, he took his grandson, hugged Jiji, and waved, "You go!"

Gao Yihuan smashed his mouth, feeling a little uncomfortable, father and son, why don't you express your concern?

If we wait a few years and this little boy Lianxing grows up, I'm afraid it won't be a big deal if I die outside in battle!
Gao Yihuan looked at the three of them, Kunxing still had nothing to say to him, Gao Zurong hugged his grandson, only Zhao Juan was tearful, Gao Yihuan immediately hugged her again, and then turned and mounted the horse.

At this time, he waved his whip, and nearly a hundred cavalry galloped away, leaving the palace with a clatter of horseshoes~~~~~~
At the end of August, Nanzheng City in Hanzhong Prefecture was surrounded by the company battalion of the Wei army. As far as the eye could see, there were white-bag-like military tents everywhere, which were hard to count. The densely packed soldiers in the camp shuttled among them, and the horses galloped outside the camp. A cloud of dust was raised.

At this time, in a big tent in the big camp, the generals of the Wei army gathered together, and they gathered around the sand table to discuss the military situation.

Gao Yihuan was wearing a black dragon robe and a winged crown on his head. He held the jade belt around his waist with both hands. Yiling Prefecture, entered Kuizhou and entered Chongqing Prefecture, the lonely king led 30 people, entered northern Sichuan from Hanzhong, and attacked Wu Sangui from the north and the south, and Sichuan was within easy reach."

The last battle between the Wei army and the Qing army was very difficult, but the Wei army was tempered in the war.

In order to supplement consumption, the vassal government recruited a large number of young and strong, which increased the number of Wei soldiers to 30.

Gao Yihuan left 10 troops to defend Huguang, [-] troops to Nanyang, and [-] troops to guard Guanzhong. He mobilized [-] soldiers and horses to attack Sichuan in two ways.

At this time, Gao Yihuan glanced at the soldiers and said, "The South Route Army is under the command of Jin Shenghuan, and the lonely king will not mention it here. Now we are discussing how we will enter northern Sichuan."

Having said that, Gao Yihuan looked up at Bai Wenxuan and asked, "How is the investigation on the road from Hanzhong to Sichuan?"

Bai Wenxuan saluted Gao Yihuan first, and then said, "Your Majesty, there are only four main roads to enter Sichuan, namely Jinniu Road, Micang Road, Lizhi Road, and Pingjing Road."

Gao Yihuan supported the belt that had collapsed with his hand, "This time when entering Sichuan, Gu Wang means a quick battle. If the delay is too long, it will be very detrimental to the Gu Wang! Which of these roads is easy to go? Kill to Chengdu!"

There are Manchu and Ming dynasties outside, so it is impossible for Gao Yihuan to be caught in the war in Sichuan for a long time.

Therefore, in this battle, Gao Yihuan strived for a quick decisive battle, at least defeating Wu Sangui, and occupying northern Sichuan and the Chengdu Plain.

Pointing at the sand table, Bai Wenxuan said, "Among the four roads, the Micang Road only goes to Bazhong, and the Lizhi Road leads to the east of Sichuan. The most suitable road is the Jinniu Road. The Jinniu Road leads directly to Sichuan. Connecting Hanzhong and Chengdu is the main channel connecting Sichuan and Hanzhong. Merchants and troops all walk on this road, unlike the other roads, which have been in disrepair for a long time, and it is extremely difficult for the army's baggage to pass through. "

Jinniu Road is the most important road in the Shu Road, starting from Chengdu in the west and ending in Hanzhong, Shaanxi in the east, passing through Chengdu, Deyang, Mianyang and Guangyuan in Sichuan, connecting the most prosperous areas in Sichuan.

Gao Yihuan said: "Then go the way of the golden bull!"

Bai Wenxuan said: "Your Majesty, the Guan Ning army also prevented us from taking the Jinniu Road, so they burned some plank roads, and still held heavy soldiers in the pass. Although the Jinniu Road is relatively easy to walk, but there are such powerful passes as Jianmen Pass, the army will soon be able to walk. It is also difficult to break through!"

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, "Which path did Wu Sangui take to enter Sichuan?"

Bai Wenxuan pointed to the sand table, "Guan Ning's army defeated Zhang Xianzhong in Baocheng, Zhang Xianzhong fled with an arrow, Guan Ning's army took advantage of the western army's reaction, and took the Mi Cang Road as the forward, and occupied Bazhong first, followed by Sichuan is where soldiers and horses enter."

Gao Yihuan pondered for a while, "Then this road must have been heavily defended by the Guan Ning Army." Gao Yihuan walked back and forth a few steps, and said firmly: "The lonely king decided to enter Sichuan on the Jinniu Road."
