Sun Kewang originally wanted to see Wu Sangui and Gao Yihuan lose both, and then sit back and reap the benefits, but he never expected that Wu Sangui would be over so soon.

A few years ago, Sun Kewang fought with Gao Yihuan and understood the combat power of the Wei army, and he felt that the Wei army was inferior to the Guan Ning army.

How come it was only a few years later, as soon as he entered Sichuan, he defeated Wu Sangui and surrendered directly?

Sun Kewang sent a lot of secret agents to monitor the situation in northern Sichuan, and when he learned the news that Wu Sangui had surrendered and Gao Yihuan had occupied Chengdu, the whole person was stunned.

He didn't expect Guan Ningjun to be such a waste, and he couldn't even beat Guan Ningjun, and the result of Gao Yihuan can be imagined.

In the dark night, the sky was drizzling, and the icy autumn rain brought chills to people.

On Naxi in the west of Luzhou City, Sun Kewang and several major generals of the Western Army, wearing robes and hats, stood on a boat.

The rain was pouring down, falling on the hats and robes, and then dripping on the deck, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.

Under the hat, Sun Kewang's face was gloomy, he pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, and decisively ordered, "It's all sinking!" ”

Behind him, the faces of many generals of the Western Army sank like water, Liu Wenxiu stretched out his hand, wanting to say something, but he still took it back, sighed heavily, turned around and waved his hand, "Shen Jiang!" ”

Among the four kings of the Western Army, when Li Dingguo was still there, he was still able to fight against Sun Kewang, but at this time, Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi were both short of Sun Kewang, and the affairs of the Western Army were basically dictated by Sun Kewang.

In the wind and rain, the Western soldiers wearing hats and robes suddenly threw heavy wooden boxes into the river.

On the Naxi River, on the sides of nearly 100 boats, there are soldiers who have discarded wooden boxes and dumped silver ingots.

Sun Kewang watched the treasure sink into the river, the muscles on his face twitched, but he had no choice, Gao Yihuan and the two people entered Sichuan, the Guanning army surrendered directly, and the two major forces ranked first and second in Sichuan were combined together, and he, the third one, as the weakest party, had no chance but to give up Sichuan and turn south.

"Gold and silver are nothing but things outside the body, so you don't have to feel distressed. In this world, as long as the soldiers and horses are in hand, the gold, silver and grain can be taken back! Sun Kewang turned around, looked at the generals behind him, and said a word of comfort.

After several years of struggle in the Western Army, now it has been beaten back to its original shape, and all the officers and men of the Western Army are not very comfortable.

Liu Wenxiu asked in a deep voice: "What is the king going to do in the future?" ”

Sun Kewang said: "The army turned to Guizhou, Yunnan, where the roads were difficult to travel, the Tusi were all over, and the Ming army and the Wei army were busy fighting for hegemony in the world, dealing with the Qing army, and they had no effort to take care of the southwest. ”

Sun Kewang pressed the hilt of his sword, looked at the southwest with a deep gaze, and continued: "It has been three years since the rebellion in Tusi Shadingzhou in Yunnan, and the Ming army has not sent troops and horses to suppress it so far, which shows that the Ming Dynasty is unable to take care of the southwest. After Gao Yihuan occupied Sichuan, he would be feared by the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was unlikely that he would continue to use troops against Yungui. This gave our Western Army an opportunity to occupy Yunnan and Guizhou and rebuild Daxi. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone's expressions softened a little.

Liu Wenxiu bowed slightly, but he was still worried: "Occupying Yungui is not enough to make a big deal!" ”

Sun Kewang nodded, "It's really not easy to occupy Yungui, but it's not a problem to divide one side. Moreover, when we gain a firm foothold in Yunnan and Guizhou, we can take advantage of the opportunity of the Ming, Wei and Qing dynasties to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, take the opportunity to encroach on Guangxi, occupy Jiaozhi, and even seize Guangzhou, and obtain a heavy tax land, and we will definitely be able to do something. ”

This is the strategy that Prime Minister Xu Yixian once mentioned to him, Sun Kewang processed it a little at the moment, and then used it to fool his subordinates, which was full of the situation.

Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and others looked at each other, the Western Army was not capable of facing Gao Yihuan, so it was a good strategy to turn south.

Sun Kewang glanced at everyone and saw that no one raised any more objections, so he waved his hand, "Okay, let all the soldiers enter the cabin, and the fleet will return to Luzhou." ”

When the sky was slightly bright, the fleet returned to the river outside Luzhou City, and Sun Kewang got off the boat and led a group of generals directly into the city, preparing to go to the palace to discuss the matter of turning south.

After receiving Liu Zongmin's beating report, the scouts of the Western Army also discovered that the Wei army on the North Road had occupied Chengdu, and sent a vanguard to press Luzhou.

Gao Yihuan got Sichuan, it was impossible to tolerate such an armed force of the Western Army, and continued to stay in southern Sichuan, waiting for the fate of the Western Army There were only two fates, one was to surrender to Gao Yihuan, and the other was to take advantage of the fact that the Wei army did not come over and quickly withdraw from Sichuan.

Since the Qin Dynasty swept the six in one to rule the world, the concept of "great unification" has had a profound impact on China's history.

Each time a dynasty collapsed, this political theory made the various forces restless and focused on unity.

And it turns out that in the end, it is only a matter of time before it is always unified.

Under this concept of "great unification," it is impossible to coexist only by submission and annihilation.

Obviously, the Western Army has not yet reached the point of desperation, and the ambition in Sun Kewang's heart has also made it impossible for him to surrender, so he can only choose to temporarily avoid the Wei army's troops.

At this time, Sun Kewang and his entourage, as soon as they arrived at the gate of the palace, Xu Yixian greeted them, "King, Niu Jinxing is here!" ”

Sun Kewang frowned slightly, and said as he walked inside: "Is he here to seek refuge in this king?" ”

"It's not!" Xu Yixian shook his head, "He has surrendered to Gao Yihuan, and he is here to be a lobbyist for the Western Wei Kingdom!" ”

Sun Kewang stopped his steps and agitated a few times with his cheeks, but he didn't expect Niu Jinxing to also take refuge in Gao Yihuan.

For a while, Sun Kewang felt a little lost in his heart, and only took a step in the middle of the sound, "Where are the others?" ”

"Just crossed the river, because the city gate is not open after dark, and the people are still outside the city!" Xu Yixian said.

When Sun Kewang heard this, he stopped again, turned around, and said to the generals behind him, "You go to rest first, this king will meet Niu Jinxing for a while, and then discuss the retreat." ”

Seeing this, the generals hugged their fists and left, Liu Wenxiu wanted to stay and listen to what Niu Jinxing said and ask about Li Dingguo, but he saw that Sun Kewang didn't mean to let him go with him, so he also left with the generals.

Sun Kewang asked people to bring Niu Jinxing, and then came to the study with Xu Yixian, Xu Yixian took out two letters from his chest, "King, these are two letters brought by Niu Jinxing, one is Gao Yihuan's handwriting, and one ~ the other is written by King Anxi himself!" ”

Sun Kewang took the two letters, first picked up Gao Yihuan's letter and read it, and suddenly sneered in the middle of the sound, "Gao Yihuan wants to recruit this king and promise to let this king be his bachelor in Western Wei, it's really ridiculous." ”

Let Sun Kewang give up military power and become a scholar, wait for a few years for Gao Yihuan to digest the Western Army, and then kick him away, Sun Kewang will never agree to such a condition.

In fact, he really wronged Gao Yihuan, Gao Yihuan really took a fancy to his ability to handle internal affairs, so he wanted him to be a university scholar.

At this time, Sun Kewang picked up Li Dingguo's letter and looked at it, to the effect that the original uprising was to let the people not be exploited, so that the brothers could live a good life, and now that Zhang Xianzhong is dead, the general trend of the Western Army has gone, it is better to take the opportunity to take refuge in the Western Wei State, so that the people will be saved from military disasters, and the soldiers of the Western Army can also have a good home.

This time, Sun Kewang didn't say anything, and directly lit the letter on the candlestick, watching Li Dingguo's letter turn to ashes.

Li Dingguo has a high prestige in the Western Army, he is heroic, and he is particularly capable of fighting, and he is deeply loved by Zhang Xianzhong, but Sun Kewang does not like him.

When Zhang Xianzhong was still there, he pretended to be a generous brother, but in fact, he often hated Li Dingguo in his heart, and now he finally controlled the Western Army, Li Dingguo actually persuaded him to surrender, how could Sun Kewang agree.

Xu Yixian saw that Sun Kewang had burned Li Dingguo's letters, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "King, do you want to send Niu Jinxing away immediately, or kill him?" ”

Sun Kewang shook his head, "No need, this king will talk to him first, and then it's not too late to send someone to send him across the river!" ”
