Sure enough, the people sent by Wu Sangui quickly found out what the problem was for him.

Liu Xia continued to send military rations to Li Dingguo, but it could not be concealed at all under careful investigation, Wu Sangui was angry, pulled out the sword next to him, and cut off a corner of the table.

said angrily: "I and Liu Xia should be like this, never die!" Either he dies or he dies! ”

Wu Sangui was very angry, he didn't expect Liu Xia to intervene in Li Dingguo's matter, with Liu Xia's involvement, it would not be so easy to get Li Dingguo done.

"Where are the soldiers who killed Zhang Xianzhong?" Wu Sangui suddenly asked the ministers next to him.

They looked at Wu Sangui in surprise, didn't they have to fight with Liu Xia just now? Why are you thinking about handing over those soldiers now?

"Back to the saint, they are currently protected in Guiyang City, before the saint asked to protect their safety, General Ma did not dare to slack off, so he moved it directly from the original station to Guiyang City, and now everything is fine. If the saint wants to hand it over to Li Dingguo, I'm afraid it is—I'm afraid it is" The official didn't finish speaking, but the meaning couldn't be more obvious, if Wu Sangui handed over these soldiers, it would definitely make the soldiers disheartened, Li Dingguo was fighting everywhere in Guizhou, but Ma Bao couldn't eliminate it quickly, which had already made the morale of the local soldiers and horses low.

Once Wu Sangui made the move of handing over his people to Li Dingguo, the consequences would be self-evident.

Wu Sangui stood up angrily, glared at the minister who spoke, and scolded, "Bastard thing." How can I hand over my love to Li Ding's thief? Tell Ma Bao to send those soldiers to Wuchang, and I will meet them in person. After informing Sun Kewang that he would receive grain and grass, he immediately launched a surprise attack on Li Dingguo. Be sure to beat Li Dingguo out of the border of Guizhou. It would be best if it was possible to annihilate it. ”

"Since Li Dingguo has Liu Xia's support behind him, it is not easy to annihilate him. It is said that now Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses have reached 20,000, all of which are elite divisions. Sun Kewang lost most of his soldiers and horses, and it was unlikely that he would want him to conquer Li Dingguo. After all, his grandson Kewang is not a fool, how can he damage his strength? ”

"Sun Kewang is such a villain, it is already good for him to give him food and grass to send troops, don't think that I don't know what Sun Kewang has done in Guizhou, but I still need him now, and I am not in a hurry to clean him up. And you, don't think that I don't know that you have received Sun Kewang's gold and silver. Hum. Wu Sangui roared angrily, and immediately frightened the ministers who were under the head to turn pale, they thought that things were hidden, but they didn't expect that Wu Sangui knew everything.

"Didn't Sun Kewang say that things were done very secretly, how could the emperor find out. However, it seems that the emperor does not intend to pursue this matter, but is just angry that we speak for Sun Kewang. Thinking of this, those people hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed to Wu Sangui: "The Holy One spares his life." The minister is guilty. Guilty of sin! ”

"It was the minister who was confused for a while and accepted Sun Kewang's things. The minister will confiscate all of them into the treasury of the church, and ask the Holy God to spare his life! ”

Wu Sangui didn't plan to dismiss all these people, after all, he still needed these people to help him handle official business. He didn't care if he was greedy for a little money.

I saw Wu Sangui nodded, but his face was still gloomy and terrifying, which made the expressions of the people kneeling down even paler. Maybe Wu Sangui suddenly became angry and killed them, which is also possible.

In the end, Wu Sangui did not do anything to these people, but asked them to confiscate all the bribes he had received, and then pardoned them.

"You tell Sun Kewang that he must be allowed to lead his troops."

On the second day, the holy decree from Wuchang was handed over to Sun Kewang, who looked at it with a gloomy face. There is nothing wrong with this order, but Sun Kewang is not a person loyal to Wu Sangui, and he also has his own little abacus in his heart. Obeying Wu Sangui's orders is just a stopgap measure.

Now that Wu Sangui asked him to go to death, he was naturally unwilling, unwilling to return to unwilling. But he had to obey orders.

He walked back and forth in the room with a sad face, and said: "If this king ignores his holy decree of Wu Sangui, I am afraid that Wu Sangui will definitely use troops against this king, and at this moment, this king has lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and he can't fight against Wu Sangui." Now you can't turn your face with Wu Sangui for the time being. However, it is said that now Li Dingguo has a large number of soldiers and horses, and it is not easy to drive Li Dingguo out of Guizhou. It is even more difficult to annihilate it. Wu Sangui did not inform him of the news of where Li Dingguo got the grain, which means that now Sun Kewang is still not clear about Liu Xia's secret support for Sun Kewang.

Wu Sangui also had the intention to exhaust Sun Kewang's soldiers and horses, after all, a tiger without teeth and claws was easy to control. Once Sun Kewang has no soldiers to fight with, wouldn't he Wu Sangui do whatever he wanted? I am not afraid that Sun Kewang will fight back.

On August 10, Sun Kewang took Wu Sangui's holy decree and the reconvened 10,000 soldiers and horses and began to march towards Qingshan Division, and at the same time, Ma Bao in Guiyang also led 10,000 troops to assist Sun Kewang.

With the help of Liu Xialong's group, Li Dingguo soon learned the news that Sun Kewang and Ma Bao had come to attack him. So he came up with a plan, prepared to go to Sun Kewang's only way, carried out an ambush, and extinguished this trouble in one fell swoop.

On the afternoon of August 11, when Sun Kewang came to Cuiliu Mountain, suddenly there was a shout of killing from both sides of the valley, and countless arrows shot at them like locusts.

Immediately, the soldiers and horses were killed and wounded, Sun Kewang was shot in the shoulder in the chaos, and Li Dingguo won a complete victory. This time, Sun Kewang is basically finished. So he retreated with the last of his soldiers and horses to the army led by Ma Bao, who was coming from Guiyang.

Ma Bao looked at Sun Kewang's embarrassed appearance, and the 10,000 army led by him still had 3,000 people left at the moment, and this time the loss was even greater than the last time. Ma Bao was shocked in his heart, he naturally understood Sun Kewang's strength, although it was not too strong, but it was not too weak. I didn't expect to lose so hard.

Ma Bao immediately asked him to describe the plot at that time, and only then did he learn the reason for the defeat.

While Ma Bao was still considering whether to continue to Qingshan Division, in the camp of the Iron Fist Brigade not far from the Yarkand Khanate on the northwest border, Niu Chao welcomed a guest, and Ah Budu told Niu Chao his intention in broken Chinese.

Niu Chao sneered: "Surrender? "When they came before, the Yarkand Khanate did not show a trace of wanting to surrender, and due to the war in the Central Plains, many Han people in Gansu were persecuted by the people of the Yarkand Khanate, and now there are still many Han people in the Yarkand Khanate who have become slaves for others to drive.

This is something that Liu Xia cannot tolerate. Naturally, the Yarkand Khanate will not continue to exist, the Yarkand Khanate is stained with the blood of the Han people, Liu Xia will not accept an enemy stained with the blood of his own people to surrender to himself, and this surrender is still that kind of hypocrisy and wrongdoing.

Abdu nodded to Niu Chao, as if he didn't see a hint of mockery.

Niu Chao said coldly: "Go back and tell you the Great Khan to go, let him open it and come and surrender in person." When the time comes, General Ben will consider letting him serve as the deputy ambassador of the newly formed Western Regions Protectorate. The rest of the people will be screened in accordance with the rules of the dynasty, and those who are qualified will be assigned new positions, and those who are not qualified will be released. Disband all the soldiers and horses of Yarkand, and our Pingbei Army will be stationed to protect here. ”

When Abudu heard this, his face changed suddenly, wouldn't this destroy their Yarkand Khanate? And what is the difference between this and being occupied by the Dzungar Khanate? Even if they surrender, they will become their puppets.

"It's—it's not—I'm here with sincerity." Abudu looked at Niu Chao and said carefully. Although he was angry, he also understood where he was now. This is the camp of the Pingbei Army, and Niu Chao can easily kill it.

Niu Chao said: "This is the condition that my king has offered, if your Great Khan agrees, our army will no longer attack the city, if you do not agree, I will inform your Great Khan, ready for battle." When the time is to break through Yarkand, I will slaughter all of you, wash your necks and wait for Lao Tzu's butcher's knife. Someone, send off! ”
