When the Jin army attacked Sichuan, Sun Kewang considered attacking Sichuan and attacking the Sichuan Ming army from the north and south with the Jin army, so that the Sichuan Ming army had no reason to be undefeated.

Just by doing so, the Jin State may not share Sichuan with him, and once the Sichuan Ming army is defeated, his territory will be connected with the Jin State, and in addition to being entangled with the Ming army in the future, he will also have to guard against the Jin army, so he will fall into the gap between the two great powers.

At that time, the Ming army hated him to the core, and naturally needless to say, the purpose of the key Jin State was to capture the whole of Sichuan, and he would not be willing to insert his forces into Sichuan.

In this way, he is tantamount to offending both parties, and if a small country wants to survive, it must at least hug one thigh, so after he learned that He Tengjiao was going to rescue Sichuan, he decided to avoid Jin Guo and attack Guizhou.

It's just that the roads in Guizhou are impassable, and the transmission of information is inconvenient, Sun Kewang didn't think that after He Tengjiao transferred 20,000 people, since he didn't enter Sichuan, but even if he knew, he would still raid Guizhou, because a small country fights a big country, and it is a reaction time.

Just like Japan's sneak attack on the United States in later generations, it was the first few months, and once the United States reacted, Japan had no chance.

Now Zhang Xianzhen's conditions will give him the south and west of Sichuan, if he accepts it and takes the fat from Haoge's mouth, Haoge will definitely not give up.

However, compared with Guizhou, western Sichuan and southern Sichuan are indeed good places, especially Luzhou in southern Sichuan, which is a wealthy place in Sichuan second only to Chengdu, which is still full of temptation for Sun Kewang.

The Ming army was obviously greatly injured in Sichuan, and they repeated the old trick, killing two soldiers with one peach, allowing him to fight with Haoge and contain Haoge's forces.

"Good strategy!" Sun Kewang squinted, "Zhang Tongzhi wants to make enemies on both sides?" ”

Sun Kewang has already offended the Ming Dynasty, if he goes to take southern Sichuan and western Sichuan now, he will offend Haoge again, which is equivalent to offending two thick legs at once, and Sun Kewang is naturally vigilant about this.

If Haoge annihilated Yuan Zongdi, and then captured Chongqing, western Sichuan and southern Sichuan were divided by the Jin army, and the connection with the Ming Dynasty would be completely severed, and the Zhenwu battalion of 5,000 people was unable to defend at all, and in the end it could only be annihilated.

If this negotiation fails, Li Dingguo and Fan Yixuan will also withdraw to eastern Sichuan, so it is naturally a good thing that they take a step and become successful, and if it doesn't work out, it won't work.

In the current situation in Sichuan, the Ming army has lost the first hand, and it is impossible to turn the tide.

Now facing the situation, there are only two possibilities, without reinforcements, the Ming army is very likely to be driven out of Sichuan by Haoge.

Wu Sangui crossed the mountains of eastern Sichuan to attack Wanxian, and the route of the Ming army's retreat from the east to Huguang had been cut off by the Jin soldiers, and the Ming army in Sichuan could only retreat into Guizhou and build a new defense line.

This abandonment of western Sichuan and southern Sichuan was indeed a move by a strong man to break his wrist and cut off his tail to survive, and the Ming army wanted to use these two places in exchange for the battle of eastern Sichuan to avoid a major rout.

These strategies, which are not known to the imperial court at present, are completely decisions made by Li Dingguo, the commander of the Zhenwu Battalion, and Fan Yixuan, the governor of Sichuan.

Under normal circumstances, these two people do not have such authority, but after the defeat of the Sichuan governor Wang Yingxiong committed suicide, and Yuan Zongdi, who was the commander of the Sichuan military affairs, was besieged, Fan Yixuan became the only person in Sichuan who could call the shots.

If the court agrees, it's fine, but if the court doesn't approve it, then he will inevitably be imprisoned and exiled, and even get killed.

"How can General Sun be a two-sided enemy? If General Sun withdraws his troops into Sichuan, our dynasty can completely follow the example of the King of the West and form an alliance with General Sun again! Zhang Xianzhen said in a deep voice: "Besides, if the general does not retreat, He will not enter Sichuan with 20,000 elite soldiers, and the general's 50,000 people want to swallow Guizhou, I am afraid it is not easy." Seeing that there are no reinforcements, the people of Sichuan will also retreat to Guizhou, plus the road to Guizhou has been repaired to Guiyang, at most two or three months, the imperial court reinforcements will enter Guizhou, General Sun is confident that he will defeat 30,000 elite soldiers in such a short period of time and take the whole of Guizhou? ”

What is the attitude of the imperial court towards Sun Kewang, Zhang Xianzhen is not clear, maybe he has already held an attitude of extermination, but Zhang Xianzhen can't control that, he must stabilize Sun Kewang now.

Although Jin Guo was caught off guard by the Sichuan Ming Army this time, such an achievement mainly relied on sneak attacks, not real strength.

As far as national strength is concerned, the Ming Dynasty has been majestic and thriving in recent years, which is a thing for all to see, and the comprehensive strength of the Ming Dynasty is definitely stronger than that of the Jin State.

Sun Kewang relied on the Sichuan crisis to blackmail the Ming Dynasty, but if he did not withdraw the army, the Ming army in Guizhou would not dare to enter the aid of Sichuan, and finally caused the Ming army in Sichuan to abandon eastern Sichuan and withdraw into Guizhou, and organize a defense line in Guizhou, then he would steal chickens and rice.

At present, he either eats Guizhou, there are two possibilities, one is that the Ming army gives up Sichuan and retreats into Guizhou, then he naturally has no appetite to eat Guizhou, and the other is that he really knocks Guizhou down, cuts off the road for the Sichuan Ming army to retreat into Guizhou, and cooperates with the Jin army to surround the Ming army in eastern Sichuan, and finally annihilate, but as far as the current situation is concerned, this possibility is already minimal, and the benefits are not as good as the disadvantages.

Either agree to Zhang Xianzhen's suggestion, go to occupy southern Sichuan and eastern Sichuan, and wait for a battle with Haoge in the future.

Of course, there is a third way, which is to retreat to Yunnan, but with Sun Kewang's personality, he will not consider this road at all.

"If I lead the army into southern Sichuan and western Sichuan, can the Ming Dynasty guarantee an alliance with my Daxi?"

Although Sun Kewang coveted the easy occupation of southern Sichuan and western Sichuan, it was his bottom line that he could not offend two big countries at the same time.

After listening to Zhang Xianzhen's words, he was already moved, but he also knew that Zhang Xianzhen's status was not high, and it was impossible for Zhang Xianzhen to get the instructions of the Ming Dynasty even if he counted the time, so he didn't believe Zhang Xianzhen's words very much.

Zhang Xianzhen understood what Sun Kewang was worried about, and he continued to pull the banner and said: "Back then, the King of the West crisscrossed the Central Plains, and even attacked Fengyang, the King of Chu was able to unite with the King of the West, so what did the general have to worry about?" Inspector He also agrees with this matter, General Sun can't believe me, but Inspector He's identity should be able to believe it! ”

He Tengjiao is Wang Yan's father-in-law, and the Chu Party has become bigger, also because of Wang He's marriage, if He Tengjiao supports it, then this matter is really possible, after all, Wang Yan is not easy to deny in the Central Committee, and his father-in-law and the second person in the Chu Party proposed.

Sun Kewang didn't care much about whether he was a foreign race or not, he originally wanted to have a good relationship with Haoge and fight against the Ming Dynasty together, but now Zhang Xianzhen gave a new way, that is, let him attach himself to the Ming Dynasty, deal with Haoge, and send southern Sichuan and western Sichuan as gifts.

Joining forces with Haoge is just Sun Kewang's idea, what kind of attitude Haoge has, what benefits he can give him, he doesn't know anything, but southern Sichuan and western Sichuan have already been sent to them, although he knows that it is poisonous, he can't help but want to eat it.

"If any overseers are involved in this matter, I am willing to believe it." Sun Kewang groaned for a while, "That's it! Zhang Tongzhi went back first and took a handwritten letter from Inspector He, and I will think about it for a few more days, how about it? ”

He Tengjiao did not say anything about this matter, Zhang Xianzhen didn't expect Sun Kewang to be so difficult, but since he said so, Zhang Xianzhen couldn't refuse, so as not to be seen by him as a reality, so he hugged his fists and agreed.
