Chapter 678
A few days later, at the wharf outside Luzhou City, Gao Yihuan took a boat to the south bank of the Yangtze River and entered Luzhou City surrounded by his generals.

Because he was worried that the Wei army on the north bank would find out that the Western army had withdrawn, Sun Kewang did not burn Luzhou City.

What the rogues are best at is destruction. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong took down and destroyed a place. If they were forced to move in, they would definitely destroy what they couldn't take with them. Palaces, houses, villages, and rice fields would all be burned.

Gao Yihuan also did such vile things. Sun Kewang didn't destroy Luzhou, which was considered a comfort to him, so that he wouldn't be thrown into a rage.

As far as Gao Yihuan is concerned, he can burn the city, but whoever wants to burn his pockets will be bloody and bloody, and he will definitely kill Guisun's family.

A group of people entered Luzhou City and directly entered the Pingdong Palace where Sun Kewang stayed. Soldiers came and went in and out of the courtyard, but they didn't gain much.

At this time, Gao Yihuan walked into the lobby and sat down, and asked the guards to call all the generals to discuss matters.

Not long after, all the generals of the Wei Army arrived at the scene, and Gao Yihuan asked with a gloomy expression, "Where is Sun Kewang fleeing to now?"

When Gao Yihuan learned that Sun Kewang had slipped away, he really felt like he was being put together.

Sun Kewang bribed Niu Jinxing and put forward the conditions for becoming a vassal, which made Gao Yihuan relax his vigilance, thinking that he really had the idea of ​​submitting, but he was not satisfied with the conditions given by the Western Wei State and wanted to bargain, so he was going to give Sun Kewang a chance, but he did not expect this It is Sun Kewang's plan to slow down the army.

If this time, the Wei Army can incorporate the Guanning Army and the Western Army, Gao Yihuan is fully capable of fighting the Manchus alone.

Therefore, Sun Kewang slipped away, which made Gao Yihuan very annoyed, and at the same time he was quite angry. Sun Kewang rejected his kindness and took away the Western Army, causing him to lose an elite soldier and a large sum of silver.

Bai Wen picked out Lie and clasped his fists and replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Sun Kewang fled to the Xuanwei Division of Bozhou. Now that he has passed Chishui, he should be marching towards Zunyi. Dudu Xu led the horse army and chased into the territory of Bozhou!"

Gao Yihuan frowned, "Has Xu Heihu caught up with the rear of the Western Army? Has he seized the supplies, money and food from the Western Army?"

Bai Wenxuan hurriedly saluted and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the mountains and forests in southern Sichuan are densely covered, and the Western Army marched very fast. I suspect that they marched lightly and did not bring luggage or money."

As he said that, Bai Wenxuan took out a file from his chest, and presented it: "Your Majesty, this is the list of what I seized in Luzhou. The Western Army has not finished transporting the artillery, grain, salt and other military supplies. It can be seen that they left. Quite a rush."

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, took it over and looked at it, feeling a bad premonition in his heart, Sun Kewang would not sink the silver.

In such a short period of time, it is too late to transport it away, and it is impossible to hide it, so it is really possible.

Thinking of this, Gao Yihuan became angry, he stood up, and immediately ordered, "Jin Xiangang, Yi Daosan, you two immediately lead your troops to chase after Sun Kewang, and then order Jin Shenghuan to turn south and bite the western army."

"The ministers take orders!" Several generals immediately came out and clasped their fists.

Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "Let's do it."

All the soldiers left the hall, but Niu Jinxing stayed in the hall by himself.

Originally, he had something to report to Gao Yihuan, but Wei Jun's envoy rode his horse faster, and his riding skills far surpassed him. He arrived at Ziyang one step ahead of him, and reported to Gao Yihuan about the withdrawal of the Western Army. Chance to meet Gao Yihuan.

Gao Yihuan felt annoyed for a while, and was about to get up and leave when he saw Niu Jinxing still standing still, and said with a bit of displeasure on his face, "What's the matter, Mr. Niu?"

Niu Jinxing hurriedly reported: "Report to Your Majesty, I do have something to report!"

Gao Yihuan sat down again, frowned and said, "Say it!"

"My lord, when I came to Luzhou to meet Sun Kewang a few days ago, I happened to find a fleet of ships returning to the pier from the west at dawn. I didn't think so at the time, but now that I think about it, this fleet is quite suspicious." Niu Jinxing said: " The minister thought that Sun Kewang left in a hurry, and it was impossible to bring much gold and silver treasures. He wanted to transfer to Yunnan and Guizhou, and it was more meaningful to bring 100 million catties of grain than 100 million catties of silver. Therefore, the minister thought that the fleet returning early in the morning should It helped Sun Kewang to transfer the gold and silver, and hid them somewhere."

Niu Jinxing clasped his fists and said: "Considering the rush of time, I think that this batch of gold and silver is very likely to be near Luzhou, and it will not be too far away from the river bank!"

Gao Yihuan narrowed his eyes, pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Mr. Niu's clue is very useful! You must keep this matter secret and don't let others know."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan turned around and told Li Laiheng, "Bring Fang Jiayu here!"

Not long after, Fang Jiayu entered the hall, saluted and said: "I pay homage to Your Majesty!"

Gao Yihuan nodded, and then ordered: "Gu Wang suspects Zhang Xianzhong's bank deposits, and Sun Kewang hid them near Luzhou. Let people look for them, but don't make the city full of wind and rain, and make everyone know about it."

Fang Jiayu took the order, Gao Yihuan asked Niu Jinxing to cooperate, Xuanyiwei searched westward along the river, searched the mountains and forests near the river, and interrogated the people nearby, but they found nothing.

A few days later, Wei Jun caught a soldier of the Western Army who had escaped, and finally found out some clues. He learned that Sun Kewang had indeed shipped the silver away, but he did not find a suitable place to hide it, but sank directly into the river.

The soldiers of the Western Army who escaped were on board the ship, but the sinking of silver was carried out at night, and the soldiers were locked in the barn, and the sailors were also locked in the barn in turn. They didn't even know which section of the river the silver sank.

At that time, it was dark, it was raining heavily, and it was pitch black on both sides. I only knew that there were two mountain peaks connected to the right of Chen Yindian.

There are mountains everywhere in southern Sichuan, so there is no such clue. Gao Yihuan had already prepared for Chen Yin, and ordered Xuan Yiwei to leave a team to continue the investigation, while the rest of the troops temporarily withdrew.

At this time, the Wei army chasing Sun Kewang had already withdrawn after taking down the Bozhou Xuanweisi.

Southern Sichuan and Guizhou were densely forested and sparsely populated. It was difficult for the Wei army to obtain supplies, and the food did not keep up. Sun Kewang lost tens of thousands of people. He defeated Zeng Ying's obstruction and had already entered Guizhou. The Wei army could only retreat temporarily.

Now it seems that Sun Kewang's strategic intention is obvious, which is to turn to Yunnan and Guizhou, and that area can be said to be a vacuum area now.

Although it was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty could not control it at all, and Wei Guo was not ready to enter the vast mountains and forests to deal with the chieftain.

In fact, the chieftains in Sichuan alone are enough for Gao Yihuan to have a headache.

If I remember correctly, there is also a Qin Liangyu in the Eastern Sichuan Stone Pillar, and there are still many forces that are interested in the Ming Dynasty.

Wei Jun is now controlling big cities such as Chengdu, as well as plains, and has little control over the surrounding mountains and forests.

In fact, the Western Army ruled Sichuan and did not subdue these chieftains. The Wei Army has no strength now and continues to take down Yunnan and Guizhou, so it gave Sun Kewang a chance.

After Xu Heihu and others withdrew, they reported to Gao Yihuan that Sun Kewang had fled into Guizhou, and Gao Yihuan could only accept this reality.

In the lobby, Gao Yihuan summoned Niu Jinxing again, and said: "Mr. Niu, I still have to trouble you to go to Guizhou, contact Sun Kewang, and say that the lonely king agreed to his conditions for becoming a vassal."

Niu Jinxing was taken aback for a moment. A few days ago, he was so angry that he wanted to kill Sun Kewang, but his attitude suddenly changed. However, Niu Jinxing immediately realized that he couldn't help admiring Gao Yihuan.

He hurriedly bowed to accept the order, "Your Majesty is wise, I will definitely convey the meaning of your Majesty."
