Luzhou is located in the transition zone between the southern edge of the Sichuan Basin and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with low terrain in the north and high in the south.

The Yangtze River, Tuojiang River and Naxi River are intersected in the territory, and the waterway transportation is convenient and the business is very prosperous.

Many goods on the Chengdu Plain were transported to Luzhou through the Tuojiang River, and then entered the Yangtze River, down the river, and directly to the south of the Yangtze River.

Outside the northern city, around the wharf near the river, there are many wine shops and inns, which are for these merchants to consume and live.

At this time, Niu Jinxing lived in an inn, he stood by the window on the second floor, stared at the river, and looked at the fleet of ships that appeared on the river in the early morning, and couldn't help frowning slightly and pondering.

After the Western Army withdrew to Luzhou, most of the wealthy people inside and outside the city fled to the countryside to avoid military disasters, and the inn was already requisitioned by the Western Army.

At this time, a team of western sergeants staggered upstairs, and the leader knocked lightly on the door, "Mr. Niu, my king is invited!" ”

Hearing this, Niu Jinxing hurriedly retracted his thoughts and responded, "Got it!" ”

In the Pingdong Palace, Sun Kewang and Xu Yixian continued to discuss major matters, and Sun Kewang made many decisions, and he could not say it to his subordinates in the Western Army, so he could only communicate with Xu Yixian.

For example, the last time I discussed with Niu Jinxing and promised not to attack Wu Sangui, only a few high-level officials knew about it, but the soldiers below didn't know that there was such a verbal agreement.

There is also Li Dingguo's letter this time, as well as Gao Yihuan's recruitment of him, Sun Kewang also does not intend to let the people below know.

Li Dingguo has a lot of appeal in the Western Army, and transferring to Yunnan is equivalent to starting over, if the people below know that the Western Wei State recruited the Western Army, and Li Dingguo helps Gao Yihuan speak, Sun Kewang's team will not be easy to lead.

"King, if we turn south, Gao Yihuan will inevitably send troops to pursue, and in the direction of Guizhou, Zeng Ying will block it, and there will be Yang Zhan and Mu Tianbo in Xiongzhen and Wumeng Prefectures, and they will block the way for the army to enter Yungui. At this time, Gao Yihuan will send troops to pursue again, and we will be attacked from both sides! Xu Yixian looked at the map and said worriedly.

Sun Kewang stared at the map on the wall with his hand and looked at it for a while, "Guizhou and Zhenxiong, choose a place to focus on breakthroughs, as for Gao Yihuan, this king has a way to deal with it." ”

"What's the king's strategy?" Xu Yixian couldn't help asking.

Sun Kewang smiled slightly and told him his calculations.

While the two were talking, the guard outside the study suddenly reported, "Wang, Mr. Niu has arrived!" ”

"Please come in!" Sun Kewang said casually.

Niu Jinxing entered the study and saw Sun Kewang and Xu Yixian standing in front of the map, staring at the map.

"General Sun!" Ox Venus bowed.

"Hahaha~" Sun Kewang glanced back at him and smiled, "Mr. Niu, it's been a long time, please take a seat!" ”

Sun Kewang and Xu Yixian walked back to their seats, the three of them sat down, a soldier brought tea and snacks, Sun Kewang made another gesture of please, and then smiled: "Mr. Niu has already worked for King Wei?" ”

Frequent surrender of all forces is not a glorious thing, Niu Jinxing looked a little embarrassed, but he still said calmly: "Niu has indeed returned to the Great Wei, and this time he is also a lobbyist for the King of Wei, hoping that the Western Army can return to the Great Wei." ”

Saying that, Niu Jinxing raised his head and looked at Sun Kewang, and said with a smile: "I don't know if General Sun has read my lord's letter, what do you think about the matter of returning to obedience?" ”

Sun Kewang groaned for a while, "I read the letter, but such conditions are unacceptable to the Western Army." ”

Although Niu Jinxing had only met Sun Kewang twice, when he saw him for the first time, he knew that Sun Kewang was an ambitious person, but to be honest, ambition and strength had to match.

Sun Kewang is a typical person who thinks he is very good, but his actual level is average, and he can't recognize himself.

In Niu Jinxing's view, the best destination for the Western Army now is to surrender to Great Wei, otherwise no matter how much it tosses, it will inevitably be defeated in the end.

"Hehe~" Niu Jinxing smiled: "Both the Great Wei and the Western Army are from the Righteous Army, and General Sun will return to the Great Wei, and there will definitely be no problem of liquidation in the future." General Sun should think clearly, if he does not accept the conditions of the Great Wei, the Western Army will be the enemy of the Great Wei, and Nanjing will not tolerate General Sun, and the Western Army will be attacked on both sides, how should the Western Army survive? ”

Saying these words, Niu Jinxing's heart suddenly became very comfortable, and he quickly understood that the last time he came to represent Wu Sangui, this time he represented the Western Wei Kingdom, Wu Sangui and Sun Kewang can only be regarded as equal, and the Western Wei Dynasty is crushing Sun Kewang.

This made him change his mentality, as if he was giving Sun Kewang a way out, making him feel high.

Thinking of this, Niu Jinxing's spirit immediately relaxed, and after speaking, he leaned back on the back of the chair, and picked up a piece of pastry and ate it.

At this time, Sun Kewang said: "Mr. Niu misunderstood. The Western Army is willing to submit to the Great Wei, but can the conditions be discussed again? ”

"Oh?" Niu Jinxing said leisurely: "What conditions does General Sun want to propose, I'm afraid it's not easy to do~"

Sun Kewang suddenly beckoned, a guard took a small wooden box and put it in Niu Jinxing's hand, Sun Kewang smiled and said: "Mr. Niu is a rare talented person in the Great Wei Kingdom. Sun got a set of Song version of Zizhi Tongjian here, which was not a valuable gift, and asked Mr. Niu to accept it. ”

Niu Jinxing's eyes stared at the wooden box put down by the guards, remembering when he was the prime minister of Dashun, but he picked up the teacup and said with a righteous face: "Forget this!" General Sun, let's get down to business! ”

Xu Yixian glanced at Zhang Xianzhong, then at Niu Jinxing and said with a smile: "Mr. Niu, the Song version of Zizhi Tongjian is not common, even if Mr. doesn't want it, you might as well take a look." ”

Niu Jinxing put down the teacup, raised his hand to open the box through a gap, the golden light was shining inside, he was stunned, closed the box immediately, the expression on his face froze for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Hehe~ Don't say it, I really haven't seen this Song version!" ”

As he spoke, he lightly slapped his hand on the box twice, and changed his expression, "General Sun can say what he wants to ask!" I will definitely convey it to King Wei. ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Sun Kewang's mouth, and then said: "The King of Wei asked my Western Army to accept the adaptation of the Great Wei, and the generals were afraid that it would be difficult to accept it for a while, so I wanted to change the conditions to that the Western Army would claim the vassal to the King of Wei, be a vassal of the Great Wei, follow the example of Mu Guogong, and guard Yungui for the Great Wei." I don't know, can Mr. Niu help Sun to plead to King Wei! ”

Niu Jinxing frowned and thought for a while, then inadvertently patted the wooden box again, and said with a smile: "Yes, I will convey General Sun's conditions to King Wei." ”

"Haha~" Sun Kewang stood up and laughed: "Since that's the case, then it's troublesome Mr. Niu!" This matter is very urgent, and Mr. Niu is requested to return to Chengdu now to avoid friction between the two armies. ”

Niu Jinxing stood up, "Okay, Niu will go back to Chengdu." ”

Sun Kewang immediately turned his head to the head of the guards and said, "Send Mr. Niu and put the book on Mr. Niu's boat." ”

Niu Jinxing turned around and left the study, Sun Kewang sent him to the door, and Xu Yixian on the side said: "King, this strategy is very clever. If they agree directly, then the Wei army on the other side of the river will immediately cross the river to receive Luzhou, and now they will not agree directly, but negotiate with the title of vassal, so that they can drag the Wei army and allow the army to move south smoothly. ”

Sun Kewang stood at the door of the study, looked at Niu Jinxing in the distance, and said with a smile: "This king's intention is more than that, like Gao Yihuan is a minister, in order to pride him." With a vassal in the Western Wei Dynasty, Gao Yihuan may not be able to live in peace and be proclaimed emperor in Xi'an. In this way, the Western Wei Dynasty became the target of everyone, and there was no time to take care of this king. Moreover, when the king arrived in Yunnan, he would be a vassal to the Western Wei Dynasty and temporarily attached to the Western Wei Dynasty, which was actually a good choice. ”

Xu Yixian listened to Sun Kewang's words, couldn't help but brush his beard, and had to admit in his heart that compared with Zhang Xianzhong, Sun Kewang was undoubtedly more suitable to be the lord of the West.
