Chapter 674 Zhang Xianzhong's Treasure
Gao Yihuan looked at the list presented by Niu Jinxing, and was quite satisfied.

The sources of the silver and various utensils are clearly recorded above, and many of the silver and utensils belong to Niu Jinxing's family property.

This guy offered a lot of property on his own initiative, which made Gao Yihuan more satisfied, but then asked: "Why is there nothing from Wu Sangui's mansion up there?"

Wu Sangui is the leader of the Guanning Army. In Gao Yihuan's view, he should have a lot of money.

Niu Jinxing hurriedly nodded and bowed his waist and explained: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the silver in the treasury and the utensils in the Shu Palace are all Wu Sangui's family property. The Guanning Army did not establish an official system, and Wu Sangui did not distinguish between public and private. Take it from the treasury, the Guan Ning army wants to use money, and it is also allocated by the treasury."

Gao Yihuan was taken aback for a moment, then understood and nodded.

This time, Gao Yihuan went to Sichuan and borrowed 200 million taels. Now he only spends half of it, and the cost has been recovered, and he has made a lot of money.

There is 150 million silver in the account, plus gold, jade, and jewelry, it is estimated that there should be 200 million taels. In addition, there are a large number of cultural games and land properties, which cannot be estimated for the time being.

In short, this time, the Wei army is getting stronger and stronger, and both its military strength and financial resources have increased to a certain extent.

With such a harvest, Gao Yihuan was already quite happy, but Gao Yihuan still murmured with his hands behind his back: "When Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, he brought the huge wealth of the Chu clan with him. Huge wealth. Wu Sangui conquered Chengdu, did he get this money?"

Gao Yihuan has experience in fighting feudal lords, and knows how rich the feudal lords of Lao Zhu's family are. The property of a single Chongwang Mansion is several million, not to mention the big feudal lords like Chu Fan and Shu Fan.

Both Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were experts in Dou Fanwang. Li Zicheng had acquired tens of millions of taels of silver, and Zhang Xianzhong had at least 1000 million taels of property.

Seeing Gao Yihuan staring at him, Niu Jinxing seemed to be suspicious of him, so he was so frightened that he quickly explained: "Your Majesty knows the truth, the Western Army does have a lot of silver. The more than one million taels of silver in the feudal mansion was obtained by the Guan Ning Army when they chased the Western Army." However, when the Guan Ning Army entered Chengdu, the Western Army had already withdrawn, so the Guan Ning Army did not leave all the silver behind."

"Hehe~ That's it! Mr. Niu, don't be nervous, the lonely king just said it casually!" Gao Yihuan smiled honestly, then his face sank, stroked his beard under his chin, and ordered: "I heard that in the lonely king When attacking Jianmen Pass, Wu Sangui sent you to meet Sun Kewang!"

Niu Jinxing nodded, not knowing what Gao Yihuan was planning, but he didn't dare to lie.

"I have indeed been to Luzhou and met Sun Kewang!" Niu Jinxing said truthfully.

"Hehe~" Gao Yihuan said with a silly smile: "That matter doesn't bother the two masters, Mr. Niu also goes for Gu, how about it?"

Niu Jinxing felt that Gao Yihuan was much more difficult to deal with than Li Zicheng, so he had no right to disagree. Dang even bowed and clasped his fists together, smiling, "It's my honor to be able to share the king's worries!"

"No hurry! No hurry! Wait for the lonely king to write a letter first!" Gao Yihuan waved his hand, and then said: "Go, go to the palace!"

The impact of the battle of Jiange and the Wei army's occupation of Chengdu soon became apparent, because the main force of the Guanning army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties. Wu Sangui and the main generals surrendered, and almost all the Guanning army in northern Sichuan surrendered like the Western Wei State.

Wherever Gao Yihuan's proclamation went, Baoning, Shunqing, Tongchuan, Long'an, Chengdu and other places all surrendered.

For the Western Wei Dynasty to replace the Guanning Army and become the ruler of Sichuan and Shu, the gentry and common people in Sichuan did not resist this, and of course they did not welcome it very much. Anyway, whoever came, they were farming and had to pay taxes according to the law. of.

After Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, the army and gentry loyal to the Ming Dynasty were purged. The Ming Dynasty had perished in Sichuan for a few years, and the people would not resist the Wei army. The resistance of the Western Wei Dynasty to rule Sichuan was not huge.

In this way, the soldiers and horses of the Western Wei Dynasty fought more and more, and at the same time they became richer and richer.

After Gao Yihuan entered Chengdu, he counted the confiscated items, and at the same time summoned officials from various prefectures and famous families in Shu to come to Chengdu to discuss matters. With a rate of 1 horses, he marched southward to Luzhou and Syria, and Linghu Dawei led 1 people to collect Meizhou, Jiading Prefecture, and Yazhou in the southwest of Chengdu, preparing to control the essence of Sichuan.

Of course, while the army was marching, Gao Yihuan also asked Niu Jinxing to go to southern Sichuan to pay a visit to Sun Kewang with letters from him and Li Dingguo, and Xu Luo gave him the title of a bachelor and asked the Western Army to surrender to the Western Wei Kingdom.

On the night of October [-]th, the city of Luzhou in southern Sichuan was pitch black, but there were torches everywhere on the city wall. Teams of soldiers were patrolling the city, and the defense was very tight. It seemed that something major had happened.

At this time, on the river north of Luzhou City, a small boat suddenly rowed over and stopped on the bank. A strong man got off the boat and ran to Luzhou City in a hurry.

The soldiers patrolling the city spotted him, and immediately fired several rockets in front of the man, and asked sharply, "Who is it!"

The man hastily responded, "My family, I have urgent information to report to the king!"

It was the fourth watch at this time, when people were sleeping soundly, but the Pingdong Palace was brightly lit.

After Zhang Xianzhong's death, the military and political affairs of the Western Army were controlled by Sun Kewang, but Sun Kewang did not inherit Zhang Xianzhong's emperorship, but continued to be his Pingdong King.

After the Western Army lost control of Sichuan, Emperor Daxi has become a laughing stock. No one will take Emperor Daxi seriously, and it will attract the attention of surrounding forces. It is not worth the candle.

Therefore, Sun Kewang did not inherit the throne. He hoped that the Western Army would gradually fade out of the sight of all parties, so that he would have time to regroup.

His idea was undoubtedly the correct decision, but he did not expect that Gao Yihuan had already set his sights on him.

At this time, in the lobby of Prince Pingdong’s mansion, the lights were brightly lit. Sun Kewang paced back and forth in the lobby with his hands behind his back. He stopped for a long time and said with a serious face: “This king originally planned that after the battle between the Wei army and the Guan Ning army , according to the situation, to reap the benefits and retake Sichuan, but unexpectedly, Gao Yihuan actually sent a troop from the east of Sichuan, disrupting the king's plan in one fell swoop!"

In the lobby, the faces of many generals of the Western Army showed worry. Liu Wenxiu frowned and said: "Since Liu Zongmin asked for help, it means that there are many Wei troops here. In this way, even if there is a chance to take Chengdu, it will be because of the Eastern Wei Army." Appeared, but unable to make the trip!"

Sun Kewang said with a sullen face, "It seems that Gao Yihuan is bound to win Sichuan and Shu, but this king cannot let him succeed easily. If the Wei army enters Sichuan in a large scale, this king will have no chance at all!"

Everyone in the hall was silent for a while, at this time a general came into the hall suddenly, and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, Guan Ning's army has been defeated, Wu Sangui has surrendered to Gao Yihuan!"

"What? Is Wu Sangui a good-for-nothing?" Sun Kewang was startled, his legs went limp, and his body immediately shook.
