Chapter 607, Jianghu Chaos 1

Previous Chapter

Sun Kewang finally came back to his senses, and he realized that now the survival and life of this team of people and horses were in his hands, and the lives of tens of thousands of people were only in his flash. [No pop-ups. 】

To tell the truth, Sun Kewang is one of the more intelligent generals in Zhang Xianzhong's army, he is on par with Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, and his prestige is especially excessive. After a brief panic, Sun Kewang slowly regained his senses.

He immediately thought that while he knew the news of Zhang Xianzhong's death, the fall of Chengdu, and the destruction of the Great Western Army, Li Yan must also know that at this time, as long as Li Yan's head does not enter the water, he will definitely come with the whole army and storm his camp, and he is powerless to resist while the army is discouraged.

Therefore, the top priority is to immediately avoid Li Yan's attack.

Sun Kewang immediately gave an order, abandoned the battalion, and the whole army immediately assembled and retreated to Sichuan.

The lightly wounded in the battalion should go with the army as much as possible, and the baggage and seriously wounded should be left behind, and the march should not be slowed down.

Immediately after this order was given, there was chaos in the camp, and the wails of the seriously wounded could be heard in many tents, but no matter how much they pleaded, no one paid attention to them.

Because it won't be long before the Qin army will call, bringing a seriously wounded man, at least two people must take care of him, and Sun Kewang will never allow it.

In just one hour, 20,000 horses and horses finished their army and abandoned the camp. As soon as they walked dozens of miles, they saw dust in the distance, and sure enough, the Qin army entered the camp.

Sun Kewang led the cavalry in front and galloped along the way, and there were still some illusions in his heart, because Bai Qi only captured Chengdu, and most of Sichuan was still in the hands of the Great Western Army.

Because Li Dingguo went on the expedition, although he took away more than 200,000 troops, but those who could stay in Sichuan were no less than 70,000 or 80,000 horses.

However, the truth greatly surprised him, Sun Kewang retreated all the way to Bazhong, and after entering the city, he immediately sent many messengers to recruit troops in various places.

At this time, in addition to the Great Western Army annihilated by the Qin army, Sichuan should have at least 40,000 or 50,000 horses, plus Sun Kewang's own 20,000 people, and he can also recruit some soldiers and horses among the people, Sun Kewang estimates that he can even have an army of 100,000 people.

But within a few days, the messengers sent to various places fled back, while many more did not return, perhaps on the run, or perhaps killed on the way. And the messengers who fled back, few of them brought back people, and most of what they said was the same, that is, when the people in various places heard that Zhang Xianzhong was dead and the Great Western Army was destroyed, they rejoiced, and automatically organized themselves to attack and kill the local Great Western officers and troops. So most of these soldiers were killed, and the rest fled.

At this time, the entire territory of Sichuan has completely become a place that no one cares about. The county towns closed their cities one after another, elected prestigious and powerful families, established themselves as kings, and refused to accept the Great Western Army.

Zhang Xianzhong's military discipline was abolished, and the most terrible result was revealed at this time, that is, he did not win the hearts of the people. The seemingly unbreakable foundation, with the death of Zhang Xianzhong, the entire Great Western Kingdom completely collapsed.

Sun Kewang was greatly frightened, because if he continued like this, his Bazhong would become a lonely land. And Bai Qi would never let himself go, he thought that if he fled into Sichuan, he would return home, but at this time he found that his home was not a home, but just a rented house, and those local people were the heads of households.

At this time, Sun Kewang began to despair.

His 20,000 people, where to go, made him sit on pins and needles.

If you surrender to the Qin army, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat, and Bai Qi will not even let go of Zhang Xianzhong, let alone himself, a defeated general who has no use value.

Self-reliance? It is also unlikely, there are only 20,000 of his subordinates, and they are already frightened birds, as long as the Qin army comes, they will be vulnerable at all.

It seems that there is only one way out at the moment, and that is to go to Li Dingguo.

But he and Li Dingguo have never been very harmonious, at this time Li Dingguo's subordinates have more than 200,000 troops, let alone take him in their eyes, if he goes, Li Dingguo will definitely not hand over the military power, and if he doesn't get it, he will come to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, because his prestige is still above Li Dingguo.

Therefore, Sun Kewang thought about it and couldn't make up his mind, he brought his generals to discuss, and some of them agreed to vote for Li Dingguo, after all, they were all from the Great Western Army, but some people disagreed, and most of those who did not agree were having a holiday with Li Dingguo.

In the end, everyone still looked at Sun Kewang and listened to his ideas.

Sun Kewang pondered for a long time before he said, "Let's go to Huguang." ”

The generals were stunned: "Do you still want to vote for Li Dingguo?" Sun Kewang shook his head: "You can't vote for Li Dingguo, if I vote, he will kill me." The general asked, "So...... General, you want to ...... Vote for Zuo Liangyu? ”

Sun Kewang still shook his head: "You can't vote for Zuo Liangyu, we have too much time with Zuo Liangyu, we are mortal enemies, as soon as my father dies, we will immediately join the official army, it is too unrighteous, and the people of the world will scold us for our soft bones, so we can't vote for Zuo Liangyu." ”

The generals didn't understand: "General, let's neither vote for Li Dingguo nor Zuo Liangyu, so what are we going to do in Huguang?" ”

Only then did Sun Kewang say what he meant: "Let's go down the east of the river first, nominally go up to vote for Li Dingguo, Li Dingguo will definitely not stop us, and when we reach the vicinity of Wuchang, we suddenly change direction, abandon the ship and land, and then go to Henan and vote for Li Zicheng." ”

Only then did the generals understand: "It turns out that the general wants to vote for King Li Chuang." ”

Sun Kewang said: "Yes, I have a good relationship with several generals in the camp, and at this time King Li Chuang occupies a very large territory, but there are not many people, let's go, just for his use, and my father and King Li Chuang have always had a close relationship, in public and private, King Li Chuang will warmly accept us." And if we throw ourselves into the camp, we will not suffer any loss in reputation. ”

When everyone heard this, they all nodded in agreement.

Sun Kewang did not hesitate for a moment, immediately reorganized his men and horses, and came to the Yangtze River, and a few days later, his men and horses gathered ships on the Yangtze River, and then boarded the ships from the shore and went straight to Wuchang.

Let's talk about Li Dingguo, since the war with Zuo Liangyu, until the news of the Qin army entering Sichuan arrived, Li Dingguo has been unable to get out. At the moment of the great enemy, he did not dare to retreat with the whole army, and the consequence of doing so could only be that Zuo Liangyu took the opportunity to chase and kill, and he was defeated.
