Pingwu County, the capital of Long'an Prefecture, is located in the mountains of the upper reaches of the Fujiang River, the terrain is very dangerous, and it is also on the edge of Sichuan Province, and it does not block the road to the Chengdu Plain.

In Sichuan, which is now a pot of porridge, it is a rare hiding place that does not attract attention.

In addition, because Pingwu County is the border between Wusizang and Sichuan to the west, this area is very large, the terrain is very dangerous, and at the same time it is extremely barren, and it is relatively easy to be ignored by the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times.

For Li Dingguo's troops, who lost the battle in southern Shaanxi and northern Sichuan, the area around Pingwu County was a good place of refuge.

Beginning in July of the first year of Dongping Daxing, a large number of government soldiers and their families flocked to Pingwu County from southern Shaanxi and northern Sichuan, and the small Pingwu County was squeezed into more than 100,000 people at once, and they were all about to burst.

Why don't so many Dashun's soldiers and their families go to Chengdu?

This has to talk about the factional problem within the Great Shun Dynasty!

Where there are people, there are factions, and there are fights. Dashun, a dynasty cobbled together by the two "righteous armies" of King Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong of Daxi, of course, is indispensable for factional struggles.

Although under the pressure of the Ming Dynasty, the internal struggle of the Dashun Dynasty was not fierce, and it did not open a full martial arts, and even made a mess of harmony on the bright side. But the competition in the shadows has not stopped...... The struggle for this treasure land in Myanmar is the long-term goal of the struggle between the two factions within Dashun.

In the face of the aggressive Ming Dynasty on the outside and the increasingly acute land contradictions on the inside, the princes and generals of Dashun certainly knew that it was impossible for them to rely on the territory of Sichuan and Yunnan to counterattack the Ming Dynasty.

A corner of the country against the whole country, there is never a good end!

Therefore, Myanmar, a retreat road, has become a good place for both factions in Dashun to covet. This piece of land in Burma was originally fought by Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng together, but after the defeat of the Battle of Siam, Li Dingguo was transferred to the northern front, and Burma gradually became Li Laiheng's "self-reserved land", and Li Dingguo's people were squeezed out of Burma.

Later, there was a "pirate grandson" Li Jicheng, who established his prestige through the Battle of Arakan and the plundering of Tianzhu, and also secured the position of "King of Burma".

Moreover, Li Dingguo himself was thrown on the battlefield in Shaanxi by Li Guo and Li Laiheng father and son, and he could not get out for many years. Therefore, it will be very difficult for the "Four Kings of the Great West" to fight for Burma again, even if they reluctantly go south, at most they will be sent under the fence, and there is no way to fight with Li Chuang and take charge of Dashun together...... I don't even have the treatment under the fence!

In this case, the "Four Kings of the Great West" can only turn their attention to the snowy plateau in the west......

Therefore, after the defeat of the Southern Shaanxi-Northern Sichuan Campaign, Li Dingguo regarded Pingwu County in Long'an Prefecture as his new and old battalion. The troops and government soldiers who withdrew from southern Shaanxi and northern Sichuan, as long as they had a little relationship with the four kings of Daxi, were all pulled to Pingwu by Li Dingguo.

As for the weapons, baggage, and food, they were transferred to Pingwu County from the places where Li Dingguo and Ainengqi's orders could still be managed.

In September and October, while the Songpan Plateau had not yet been blocked by heavy winter snow, a large number of troops commanded by Li Dingguo's henchmen were sent by him to the south of Songpanwei (south of the grassland and Minshan) to occupy the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, the Fujiang River, and the Heishui River.

However, Li Dingguo did not plan to break with the Dashun Dynasty...... Even if he goes to the snowy plateau, he is still a good prince of Dashun!

Emperor Zhu's envoys have already come several times, all of them are the old troops of Li Dingguo, who was captured on the battlefield in southern Shaanxi and northern Sichuan, and they also brought the conditions that seem to be very good, but Li Dingguo has never been moved!

Because in his opinion, he and the Zhu Ming Dynasty are not all the way after all...... Even if the Zhu family temporarily accommodates their own group, just think about how Wu Sangui died, even if he doesn't turn his face now, there will be a day when he will settle accounts after the autumn in the future!

And he also understands that once he is appeased, Yuan Zongdi, who is stationed in Chengdu, will immediately become the key target of Wu Sanfu!

On the Chengdu side, hundreds of thousands or even millions of government soldiers and government soldiers have gathered from all over Sichuan...... If this group of people falls into the hands of the Ming army, will they have a good end? Even if they don't kill them all, they will be sent to the Twelve Duchies of the South Seas and the New Island Continent to suffer!

Those people are also Li Dingguo's old subordinates, how can he bear to let their good Burmese hukou become the "green book" of the United States of New Zealand?

And Wu Sanfu also regarded Li Dingguo as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh because of the death of his brother Wu Sangui!

In the case of Li Dingguo's repeated refusal to defect to the imperial court, he also left Yuan Zongdi in Chengdu aside, and began to mobilize the main force to Long'an Mansion, preparing for a big battle with Li Dingguo in the mountainous area of northwest Sichuan.

Just when the war in Long'an Province was about to break out, Liu Wenxiu arrived in Pingwu County.

......

"Second brother, why are you here? Is it still smooth along the way? What's going on in Chongqing? ”

When Liu Wenxiu arrived in Pingwu, Li Dingguo inspected the Huangyang Pass at the west gate of Pingwu County (Huangyang Pass was the only way for Li Dingguo to retreat to Songpanwei), and immediately rushed back to the county seat with his guards after receiving the news. As soon as he saw Liu Wenxiu in the palace in the county, he asked straight to the point.

Liu Wenxiu smiled bitterly: "Fourth, I'm here to defect to you...... The situation in Chongqing is not good, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold for too long, and the land route from Chongqing is not very easy to walk, but fortunately, there are still some sailors on the Jialing River and the Fujiang River, so they can still come out of Hezhou! ”

"What's going on?" Li Dingguo was stunned, "Chongqing Mansion is a strong city......"

"What about the fortified city?" Liu Wenxiu sneered, "The emperor is unwilling to defend it, no matter how strong the city is, it will be given in vain!" ”

"What? The emperor wants to abandon Chongqing? Li Dingguo frowned, "Then what is he doing in Chongqing?" ”

"yes!" Liu Wenxiu said, "If he doesn't come, Tian Jianxiu may be able to stay for a few more months...... Now it's okay, he doesn't want to die with the city, and he doesn't want to take on the responsibility of giving up Quanchuan, so he sent me to Pingwu to find you a martyr. ”

"What?" Li Dingguo didn't understand, "What does the emperor mean...... If you want to play on the forehead, please abandon Chongqing Mansion? ”

Liu Wenxiu shook his head and took out Zhu Cihong's edict with his hand, "Fourth, look at it yourself!" ”

Zhu Cihong's edict is also yellow-skinned, looking similar to the edict of the emperor of Dashun, Li Dingguo thought it was Li Laiheng's edict, and immediately stood up and said very respectfully: "Li Dingguo, respectfully receive the holy decree!" ”

After speaking, he took the edict with both hands, unfolded it, and sighed: "The emperor's handwriting looks much better...... Could it be that I have practiced in Chongqing Mansion these days? ”

"Where! Look closely......"

"Oh, look at it!"

At a glance, Li Dingguo's face changed greatly, "This, this is Emperor Zhu's handwriting?" What does he mean by that? ”

"What do you mean?" Liu Wenxiu smiled bitterly, "Of course, I asked you to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Li Dingguo stomped his feet: "Eh, you mean the emperor...... What does Dongxingye in Dashun mean? ”

Liu Wenxiu said with great certainty: "What he means is to ask them to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"What?" Li Dingguo was stunned and stunned, "Emperor, the emperor has surrendered?" ”

"Nope!" Liu Wenxiu waved his hand, "Everyone can descend to Zhu, but the emperor and the prince cannot descend to Zhu!" ”

"Then how did he tell them to surrender?" Li Dingguo was completely confused.

Liu Wenxiu snorted: "He asked the foreheads to fake surrender...... He used this excuse to run to Yunnan! When the time comes, the black pot of Sichuan will be lost, and he will still be a good emperor! ”

"He, he ......" Li Dingguo looked at Liu Wenxiu, "Second brother, how is this good?" ”

Liu Wenxiu snorted coldly: "Of course, it's calculated...... There are more than 100,000 people here in Pingwu, all of whom are in the same vein as the West, and that is the capital of the brothers! As long as there are soldiers and generals at hand, where can't you eat and drink spicy food? Emperor Zhu asked them to go to the plateau, and it was good to look at it! Fourth, why don't you go and be an official of the Ming Dynasty together! ”
