After passing Wu Pass, Zhu Cixuan led 100,000 Ming troops to advance in the northwest direction, then passed Longqu Village, and went upstream along the Danshui.

"The next city is Shangzhou, and it is also an important stronghold in the Guanzhong Basin. After taking this place and conquering Lantian, you can arrive at Xi'an Prefecture." Gao Dejie said to Zhu Cixuan.

Zhu Cixuan thought for a while and asked, "How is this place better than Nanyang City?"

Gao Dejie smiled: "I think I can't compare to Nanyang City."

Zhu Cixuan snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "What else do you want to say? Let the cannons transported behind him speed up."

For Zhu Cilang, whether the city is strong or not and the number of enemy troops guarding the city is no longer what he is concerned about.

Now there are cannons in this palace. As long as anyone dares to block the road, they will be done with the cannons!

Ma Wannian stood beside Zhu Cilang, acting as a servant with his chest and abdomen. He couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Ma Wannian is very young, but he is the hereditary stone pillar chieftain of the Ming Dynasty after all, and his grandmother Qin Liangyu will not avoid him in many things.

Ma Wannian knew very well that the Ming Dynasty had experienced many hardships over the years, and last year it was almost over, and was almost destroyed by Li Zicheng.

Although Shizhu Tusi was not on the front line of fighting against Li Zicheng, he had been fighting with Zhang Xianzhong over the years, so he naturally hated these rebels.

At this moment, Zhu Cilang suddenly turned his head and looked at Ma Wannian and smiled and said, "Xiao Ma, after Li Zicheng pacified, your Shizhu Tusi and the entire Sichuan will be completely safe!"

Ma Wannian smiled and said, "What your highness said is that I am really looking forward to that day."

Zhu Cixuan said: "I plan to counterattack the Qing Dynasty outside the gates in the future. Are you interested in joining us?"

Ma Wannian said seriously: "My uncles and uncles have all died in the battle with Jiannu. Shizhu Tusi and Jiannu will never stop. If His Highness raises troops outside the pass, please make sure to let the minister accompany you!"

Zhu Cilang laughed: "Okay, that's it! Don't worry, you will see this day."

Gao Dejie watched this scene from the side, and was also a little confused. He gently touched Fang Gongqian: "Old Fang, why do you think Your Highness value this chieftain so much?"

Although Shizhu Tushi was indeed very loyal, this Tushi was originally in the mountainous area. He was a "mountain man" for an orthodox general like Gao Dejie and had never taken it to heart. Now, seeing Zhu Cilang attaches so much importance to it, I can't help but feel strange.

Fang Gongqian smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness has his own intentions. General Gao, just obey the orders."

Gao Dejie coughed and said, "Old Fang, we are all in love, so you can't reveal one or two, so that I can judge?"

Fang Gongqian pondered for a moment and said softly: "There is a Duke of Dian in the Ming Dynasty, do you know?"

Gao Dejie was shocked: "But, there are only as many mountains in the eastern part of Sichuan as in Yunnan, and other places are basins, isn't it necessary?"

Fang Gongqian said with a sarcastic voice and said, "What a fool, who said he must be in Sichuan?"

Gao Dejie became more and more confused: "Where can it be?"

Fang Gongqian looked at the West and did not continue to speak.

Soon, the army arrived at the city of Shangzhou.

Zhu Cilang looked at Shangzhou in front of him, and he knew that this was Shang County in later generations.

From the perspective of shape, this place should have been one of the more prosperous cities in Guanzhong, but perhaps because it was poisoned by Li Zicheng's Dashun regime for a year, not only was the outside of the city extremely deserted, but even the city walls seemed quite broken, and felt like they were disrepaired for a long time.

Zhu Cixuan had just ordered the entire army to set up camp to prepare for the siege tomorrow, and the gate of Shangzhou City had been opened.

Then, a Dashun Army held a white flag and came out of the gate one after another.

Zhu Cilang was stunned for several seconds when he saw this scene, then nodded slightly: "Niu Jinxing and Li Yan are doing pretty well."

A moment later, Niu Jinxing and Li Yan were sitting in the same carriage and came to Zhu Cixuan in awe.

"Your Highness, I am fortunate to be unfair to your fate. I will persuade you to surrender to Shangzhou City!" Niu Jinxing's eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, but Li Yan beside him seemed relatively calm.

Zhu Cilang laughed and said, "Niu Qianhu, you have done a very good job! From today on, you will be the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei!"

Niu Jinxing was overjoyed and immediately received the order and thanked him.

The position of deputy commander of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei is naturally far from the position of Niu Jinxing who was almost equivalent to Prime Minister Dashun, but the problem is that the position of Ming Dynasty is still alive, and Dashun is about to die.

A regime that is about to die, let alone the prime minister, even if it is the crown prince or the emperor, no one is willing to be the one who is willing to be the one who is the crown prince or the emperor.

In this way, Zhu Cilang took Shangzhou without any effort.

Next, something unexpected happened to Zhu Cixuan.

Niu Jinxing and Li Yan had not even set off yet, and two waves of messengers from the General of Dashun City in Guanzhong arrived that night.

The garrison of Luonan City, Li Qisan, announced his surrender and returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Wu Kli, the garrison of Zhen'an City, announced his surrender and returned to the Ming Dynasty.

In the next few days, news of surrender from various cities in Guanzhong continued to come like snowflakes. The messenger who came to offer letters of persuasion to surrender could be said to have broken Zhu Cilang's camp.

The system's prompt sound kept ringing in Zhu Cilang's mind.

"Congratulations to the host, the progress of destroying the Dashun regime has reached 35%.

“…The progress reached 38%.

“…The progress reached 42%.

Zhu Cixuan listened to the system's prompts and an idiom popped up in his mind.

Invincible.

Three days later, the army arrived in Lantian.

The defenders here did not surrender, but were not stupid enough to oppose the Ming army, which had expanded to 130,000. Instead, they scattered birds and beasts, leaving Zhu Cilang an unguarded city.

After passing Lantian, we truly entered the territory of Xi'an City in a narrow sense.

Zhu Cixuan said, "Where is Li Zicheng? Have you run away?"

Gao Dejie said: "From the current situation, he probably didn't run away. He is still recruiting troops from all over the country and wants to defend Xi'an City."

Zhu Cixuan was stunned for a moment and said, "He wouldn't really think he could keep it?"

Gao Dejie said, "Maybe he really thought so."

Zhu Cixuan said: "Hasn't he very good at running before?"

Niu Jinxing interrupted at the right time: "Li Zicheng was the struggled Li Zicheng, and now Li Zicheng is the enjoyment of Li Zicheng. Although both are the same person, they are no longer the same person."
