Except for the more than 10,000 horses who were sent to meet them and later stationed in Nanling, Su Guansheng no longer had an army.

If the Western Army launched an attack on Guangdong, as long as it broke through the Nanling defense line, it would be like entering a no-man's land, and Su Guansheng would be powerless to resist at all...... Well, even if Su Guansheng can conjure up tens of thousands of troops out of thin air, it is impossible to block the Western Army, but the Western Army has even defeated the Chu Army, but the Chu Army is one to ten against the Guangdong soldiers, according to this ratio, if you want to block Sun Kewang's hundreds of thousands of troops, Su Guansheng needs at least 1.5 million...... This account can't be calculated, and with the strength of the Longwu Imperial Court, it can't afford to raise so many troops.

Fight, definitely can't beat.

Where to go, everyone has their own plans.

After Sun Kewang and others supported the Yongwang Zhu Cihuan, some people in Shilin and the people had a sympathetic attitude towards the Western Military Regime, after all, Emperor Chongzhen was the undisputed orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and it was justified that his prince would inherit the throne...... But in general, there are not many people who sympathize with and support the Western Army, the vast majority of the gentry and ordinary people still support Emperor Longwu, the Southern Party is deeply rooted in Guangdong, and the influence of the Chu Army in Guangdong is not small, plus Su Guansheng, a loyal imperial party, everyone is on the big boat of the Longwu Imperial Court, and regards the Western Army as an enemy.

At the beginning of the Huguang War, people from all walks of life in Guangdong placed high hopes on the Chu army, hoping that they would once again show their might, drive the western army back to Yunnan, and recapture Guangxi, so as to remove the threat of war in Guangdong and resume trade between Guangxi and Hunan...... The western army occupied Guangxi, invaded Hunan, threatened Guangdong, the biggest loss was the merchants of Guangdong, the entire Pearl River water transport has been paralyzed, all kinds of inland goods can not go to sea, goods transported from overseas can not be transported to the mainland, everyone mentions the western army all bitterly hate, eager that they will be immediately beaten down by the Chu army.

What is a big disappointment is that the Chu army has been defeated and retreated since the beginning of the war, and in the end even Changsha and Hengyang were lost.

Almost overnight, many people have become sympathizers and supporters of Yongwang Zhu Cihuan, and it is necessary to mention his life experience in his words, as well as the bumpy and bizarre experience of the past few years, all in all, Zhu Cihuan is the true dragon son of heaven, even if he himself does not want to be the emperor, even if there are many people who do not want him to be the emperor, but the fate that has long been destined still makes him step by step towards the emperor's throne, and those who try to oppose him, even if they are as strong as the Chu army, will be defeated by the Western Army.

It is said that the Tartar emperors all recognized Zhu Cihuan as the true dragon son and wanted to form a brotherly country with him, with the Yongwang Zhu Cihuan as his brother and the little emperor Shunzhi of the Tartars as his younger brother.

It is said that after the soldiers of the Chu army knew the identity of Zhu Cihuan, the army was disheartened and demoralized, and they did not dare to fight with the real imperial court Wang Shi (Western Army), Wang Sheng, Lu Renqing, Teng Shuanglin and other Wang Kefan's sworn friends were dying and struggling, and they resisted stubbornly, and were killed by Sun Kewang to the point that the blood flowed like a river, and the corpse blocked the Xiangjiang River, and the river was still red after several days.

It is said that Emperor Longwu and Wang Kefan both panicked and hid in Nanjing shivering.

It is said that Su Guansheng, the governor of Liangguang, secretly had the intention of changing the banner anyway.

It is said that Sun Kewang had ordered that the whole city would be washed in blood after the capture of Guangzhou, in order to warn the soldiers and civilians of the Longwu Dynasty who dared to resist.

Reputedly......

People in the city of Guangzhou are panicked, all kinds of news that is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood are flying all over the sky, out of the remote countryside of Guangzhou City, those rumors that are already absurd and unrecognizable have been spread beyond recognition, in the mouths of some people, the soldiers of the Western Army have become red-haired and fanged murderers, if they enter Guangdong, they will definitely go to the red land for thousands of miles, slaughtered, some people are ready to flee, but most people are unable to leave their homeland, can only stay at home and pray to the sky, hoping that the Western Army will not fight in Guangdong.

There was a lot of chaos everywhere, Su Guansheng couldn't control the situation anymore, just in the past few days, a few people among his subordinates came to the door and persuaded him to plan ahead of everything, and if he didn't prepare, he must make plans early.

"Is this trying to persuade me to surrender? This official is favored by the Son of Heaven, how can there be a reason for treason and thief? ! Su Guansheng scolded these people and walked away.

These people rushed over, but they were scolded for a bloody squirt, so they had to leave the governor's yamen in frustration, but there was one of them with the most brilliant head, and he first came back to his senses: "Su Butang does have the intention of changing the banner anyway, but he is still hesitating." ”

His companion asked, "Why did my brother say that?" Su Butang is loyal to the imperial court, and he scolded me for waiting for this meal, how can he hesitate at all? ”

"Just scolded, what's the matter? At the beginning, whoever dared to say a good word about His Royal Highness Yongwang would have put him in prison, but now he has only scolded us a few times, which shows that his old man is also in a dilemma in this situation, neither wanting to live up to the holy grace, but also not wanting to see Guangdong turned into a scorched earth, and the lives of the people are ruined. ”

"Oh—that's true!" Several companions suddenly realized that even if Su Guansheng was really ready to surrender to the Western Army, he would not shout in advance The whole world knew that the repeated entanglement of three invitations and three concessions was a procedure that had to be followed.

"As a subordinate, I should share the worries of Shangguan, there are some things that Su Butang is inconvenient to come forward, so let's do it for us, Brother Wende, your writing is the best among us, please write a letter to find out the meaning of Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu first."

"In that case, I'll be ugly." The "Brother Wende" took the pen and paper, brushed it a little bit, and after a while, he wrote an official document that is not like an official document, a private letter is not like a private letter, and a national letter is not like a national letter......

Su Guansheng soon knew about the small actions made by these subordinate officials, but he pretended not to know anything, and he did not send anyone to recover the secret letter.

This can be regarded as leaving a way back.

"I'll try to hold out until the last minute."

Su Guansheng didn't want to surrender in his heart, he secretly made up his mind that if the Western Army attacked Guangdong, he would resist and delay as much as possible, but when it came to the last moment when the troops were in the city, there was no need to make senseless resistance.

He was reused by Emperor Longwu, and he should not be betrayed by reason and reason, even if Emperor Longwu is now just a puppet emperor, but in the face of the general trend, personal feelings and personal ethics are pale and powerless, since Su Guansheng has already succumbed to Nanjing once, and then succumbed to the Western Army for the second time, maybe ...... It's not as difficult as you think.

A similar scene was also staged in Jiangxi.

The news of the successive defeats of the Chu army shook the morale of the military in Jiangxi and Guangdong, and under the shroud of the clouds of war, the officials and people of these two provinces were panicked.

Pingxiang Zhixian, Nanxiong Prefect, Changle Guerrilla, Renhua Counselor...... After the Western Army occupied the entire territory of Huguang, the northern part of Guangdong and the western part of Jiangxi could be attacked at any time, and on this long defensive line, in addition to the Chu army, there were also many Wanji and Su Guansheng's territories, and some of them had already sent letters to the Western Army, betraying their sincerity to Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu, just waiting for their army to come, and immediately changed their banners and defected, and was willing to be the vanguard of the king's division.

In the city of Nanjing, it is also cloudy.

Bad news kept coming one after another, in addition to the unfavorable situation in Huguang, the Qing army also strengthened the offensive on the northern front, after the "four generals of Hexi" relieved the siege for Tunbur, they joined forces to attack Huangzhou Mansion, and the old Qin army was brave and good at fighting in the northwest, which caused a lot of pressure on the Chu army in Huangzhou Mansion.

At the same time, Wu Sangui, who had been standing still, suddenly launched a counterattack to the Jianghuai region, Wang Jincai's Second Army of the Northern Expedition resisted hard, and Wu Sangui launched a fierce battle in the Gaoyou area, and retreated to Yangzhou without defeat, Wu Sangui occupied Huai'an, began to repair the canal and wharf damaged by the Chu army, and prepared to resume Cao Yun.

Although Emperor Longwu was a puppet emperor, he had enough personal freedom, and these news were not hidden from him.

After hearing that Hengyang was lost and Wu Sangui went south, Emperor Longwu sent a message to Wang Kefan and asked him to enter the palace to see him.

"My life's ambition is to recover the rivers and mountains, and to prosper the Ming Dynasty, if I can fight a big war with Jiannu, even if the horse leather shrouds and die in battle, it is also a happy thing." Emperor Longwu's expression was very serious, and he bowed to Wang Kefan: "I intend to kill the enemy in the army, and go to Jiangbei to fight to the death with Wu Sangui, and ask Liang Guogong to complete it." ”

"Your Majesty is going to take the royal expedition in person?" Wang Kefan pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "It's not appropriate, now that the situation is not stable, Your Majesty must not move lightly." ”

"I don't mean anything else!" Emperor Longwu suddenly raised his voice, and the grievances in his stomach surged up all of a sudden, Wang Kefan, Wang Kefan! You've made me look like this, and you're still guarding me everywhere?

"I know you shouldn't have anything else in mind, but it's hard to say what other people will think." Wang Kefan's voice did not fluctuate without any fluctuations.

Emperor Longwu was deflated for a moment, and after a while, he said in a pleading tone: "I am the emperor after all, and I can boost morale and calm the people's hearts, and now the war situation is so critical, I just want to do something." ”

"Your Majesty wants to fight on the battlefield, there will always be a chance in the future, but not now." When Wang Kefan said this, a smile appeared in the corner of his eyes: "Weichen uses troops, never fights for the gains and losses of a city or a place, and the current battle situation seems to be precarious, but in fact, everything is under my control." Ah, since Your Majesty is willing to help, please write another edict......"

Emperor Longwu turned his face away and ignored him.

Wang Kefan shook his head helplessly, turned around and left the palace.

Later that day, Wang Kefan issued an edict again in the name of Emperor Longwu, denouncing Sun Kewang's rebellion and rebellion, wolf ambitions, and the Manchu alliance with the tiger, and at the same time denouncing the Manchu Qing Dynasty's reckless military force, which would inevitably lead to their own destruction, etc., and called on the world in the edict to jointly crusade against the Qing army and the Western army, and they must be completely eliminated.
