Chapter 115 Quickly take me away!

When the Wu army in Guiyang abandoned the city and fled, the news came to Lu Guangzu, who was leading his army to advance to Guiyang, he was stunned: If the Wu army said he would not, just don’t want it?

Deputy General Zhang Yue was so angry that she cursed: "This Zhu Youlang runs faster than a rabbit!"

Lu Guangzu looked at Zhang Yue. If he remembered correctly, Zhang Yue was the general of the Ming army who obeyed the orders before surrendering to the Taiping Army. Zhu Youlang was his old master, but now he called him his name directly. It seems that Zhu Youlang, the emperor, had completely lost his appeal to these Ming generals who had returned to the Taiping Army. Of course, Zhu Youlang, the "Supreme Emperor", had no effect on him, Lu Guangzu, the general surrendered in the Qing Dynasty. However, Zhu Youlang must seize it because this is the primary purpose of the Guangxi Field Army launching the Southwest Campaign, so this matter is a bit tricky now.

"This time, Zhu Youlang cannot be blamed for running fast. If he doesn't run, Wu Sangui's people will run with him."

Wang Youxi said he was deeply impressed by Zhu Youlang, the "Supreme Emperor". When he was with Shao Jiugong under the command of Kong Guoliang's brothers, he had chased Zhu Youlang several times, but whenever he didn't wait for them to pounce on him, Zhu Youlang would run away first, and they were so angry that they could only stomp their feet and curse.

"Brother Lu doesn't know that Zhu Youlang is the most timid. Whenever there is a turmoil, he becomes a frightened bird. He looks like a king, but he has no courage and only has a skin. In order to save his life, he even ignored his own flesh and blood. When I was in Zhaoqing, I personally grabbed Zhu Youlang's eldest son."

"oh?"

When Lu Guangzu heard that Wang Youxi had captured Zhu Youlang's son back then, he became interested and asked Wang Youxi whereabouts of Zhu Youlang's son, because he had never heard of this. However, Wang Youxi shook his head slightly and did not want to talk about it. Seeing this, Lu Guangzu knew it and did not ask much. Most of the sons of Zhu Youlang had been removed.

"What should we do now?"

Lu Guangzu asked Wang Youxi for his opinion. He originally thought that the Wu army in Guiyang must stick to it, but he didn't expect that they would abandon the city and leave, which disrupted the Taiping Army's operations.

"The Wu army's men are not stupid. I know that Zhu Youlang is much more valuable than Guiyang." Wang Youxi curled his lips and asked the detective: "Where did the Wu army in Guiyang run to?"

The explorer said: "After leaving the city, the Wu army fled to Chongqing, and it is said that they are going to Xi'an."

"I know, go and explore again!"

After waving his hand to explore the horse and then go to explore, Wang Youxi said to Lu Guangzu: "The roads in Guizhou are inconvenient, and it is even more difficult to walk in Sichuan. The Wu army hastily abandoned the city and took Zhu Youlang and a group of court officials. I think it would not be too fast. In this way, you go to Guiyang first and block the Wu army in Yunnan, so that they can't get out. I will take people to chase Zhu Youlang!"

"Okay!"

Lu Guangzu agreed with Wang Youxi's opinion and waved his hand to instruct his personal guards: "Send the order and accelerate the entire army. You must arrive in Guiyang before sunset!"

After receiving the military order to accelerate, the second town of Lu Guangzu's expeditionary army immediately accelerated the marching speed and rushed towards Guiyang. Wang Youxi's fourth town turned west and chased the Wu army who was fleeing to Chongqing. Shao Jiugong, who had arrived in Longli, knew that the Wu army had abandoned the city and fled to Sichuan with Zhu Youlang, immediately dispatched a team of cavalry to support the fourth town quickly. He told Wang Youxi that he would not give up chasing until the end. He also ordered Lu Guangzu to immediately maintain order after entering Guiyang, and persuaded the Wu army that had been withdrawn in time, and was willing to accept the reorganizer to not kill, otherwise it would be annihilated. As for the officials of the Yongli court in Guiyang City, all the officials in the Yongli court in Guiyang City were kept to calm the people. The tenth town led by Wang Xing also rushed to Guiyang immediately and took on the important task of guarding Guiyang and blocking the Wu army in Yunnan with the second town.

After all this was deployed, Shao Jiugong summoned several military intelligence envoys from the Military Intelligence Department stationed in the Guangxi Field Army in the tent. Later, the people from the Military Intelligence Department ran out quickly, and the direction was all in Sichuan.

After Wu Sanfu, Zhang Guozhu, Wu Sanmei and others led the troops to take Zhu Youlang and his party to escape from Guiyang, they immediately followed the way to Chongqing on the way to escape west. Although this road was called the official road, many areas were damaged for many years of war, and there were even no one along the way. Don't talk about the inn for people to stay. Even in a village, there were no one in a hundred villages. The more you went to Sichuan, the more desolate it was. There were many bones on both sides of the official road, which were scattered randomly on the side of the road, and no one buried them. Some bones were even scattered. I don't know if it was caused by being dragged by wild animals or what happened after death.

The mountains were steep, the geese were roaring, the birds were singing, and after the sunset, the wild beasts were roaring, which made Wu army and his party panic.

Yanglongkeng, at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, is the last stop to enter Sichuan. After passing Yanglongkeng, it will be more than 30 miles ahead. Zhang Guozhu has sent Gao Minzhan, the governor of Sichuan in Chengdu, to lead his troops to pick him up. As long as he arrives in Chongqing, not only Gao Minzhan's soldiers can arrive, but Gao Qilong and Wang Zhiding's soldiers will also arrive, so that he will not be afraid of the pursuit of the Taiping Army. As long as Zhu Youlang can be sent to Xi'an safely, it will be a great achievement for Wu Sanfu and others. As for whether Guizhou and Yunnan fall into the hands of the Taiping Army, they cannot care about so many.

Although the Wu army was an elite soldier, they were very tired. The Ta Xince, who came to the palace, came to report that the Taiping Army had not been caught up with him, so after Wu Sanfu and Zhang Guozhu discussed, he decided to rest in the Dragon Keng for one night and rush back tomorrow. Otherwise, if the soldiers continued like this, the soldiers would lose their strength. If the Taiping Army caught up, they would not be able to stop it.

After a resting order, the soldiers of Wu army immediately set up camp on their own, chopping wood, carrying water, and cooking. Not long after, countless smoke pillars rose above the Dragon Pit, and there were piles of fires below the smoke pillars. The fireworks made the vast mountain popular and gave people a sense of peace of mind.

Since the day of ascending the throne, Zhu Youlang has been fleeing. His suffering is nothing compared to before, so after getting off the carriage, he was in good spirits. However, because Queen Wang was pregnant, the carriage was very bumpy, which made her abdominal pain unbearable. When she arrived at the Dragon Harvest, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat as big as beans. Zhu Youlang was frightened and quickly asked someone to go to the imperial physician, but the eunuch looked for it but didn't find the imperial physician. After careful investigation, he didn't follow him at all. Without the imperial physician, the queen felt uncomfortable. Zhu Youlang was panicked and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, an old palace maid next to the queen had some experience. She rubbed her stomach for a long time and decocted some medicine to take it. This relieved Queen Wang's abdominal pain, but it was still very uncomfortable.

Wu Sanfu and Zhang Guozhu came over to invite Zhu Youlang to a broken house in front that had not yet collapsed. Zhu Youlang nodded and told the two of them about the queen's situation. Zhang Guozhu hurriedly ordered people to call the doctor who followed the army and asked them to treat the queen.

"When I arrive in Chongqing, I will definitely ask the famous doctor to treat the Empress. The emperor is relieved."

Hu Guozhu was still very cautious in his etiquette as a minister, at least on the surface he was polite to Zhu Youlang. Zhu Youlang nodded and was about to ask where the prince was, but he heard a scream from the mountain road behind him.

Zhang Guozhu was shocked and hurriedly ordered his personal soldiers to go and see what happened. The personal soldiers turned around halfway and shouted in horror: "Sir, Ta Xin has turned against him!"

"What, Ta Xin has turned against him!"
