Sichuan.

When Wu Sangui fled all the way to Sichuan with the remnants of the army, the overall strength was less than 20,000. However, those who can follow him to this point are also the real elites in the Wu army, the real veterans of a hundred battles. Entering Sichuan, which was originally regarded as one of Wu Sangui's lairs, the Sichuan defenders immediately came to respond, and the two sides met divisions, gathered more than 50,000 troops, and finally blocked the Mawei Army on the difficult road.

The pursuing troops of the Mawei Army did not continue to pursue here, and they were not fully prepared, although there were continuous captures along the way, supporting their consumption of 20,000 people, but now they are almost at the limit. The lack of food and grass cannot be compared with the Wu army at this moment.

Wu Sangui fled all the way, and when there was a shortage of food, they went into various villages to loot to supplement, in his eyes, these were just small things, thirty years ago, in bad things, those Ming officers and soldiers had done. But the Mawei Army was different, and the Mawei Army strictly ordered that it was not allowed to harm ordinary people, which made it more and more difficult for the Mawei Army to pursue.

At this moment, the huge courtyard is empty. It's autumn now, but it's still green. The courtyard is covered with landscape, and the walls are full of plants such as vigorous creepers.

In the midst of the greenery, there are also a few shades of red, [pleasing to the eye.] Under normal circumstances, seeing all of this will only make people feel cheered. However, in this courtyard, there is a dilapidated atmosphere. Autumn. It still looks so sluggish.

Historically recorded. Wu Sangui's body was no longer good by this time. Soon became the emperor in Hengyang. But although Wu Sangui in front of him is very decadent, his body is still healthy, and his mental state has been very good since he became emperor. Wu Sangui slowly came out of the courtyard, walking unconsciously, staring around with his eyes blankly. In fact, his eyes are very empty. Everything around. He didn't actually see it. Even if you see it, you don't pay much attention to it. To put it simply, he didn't pay attention to everything in front of him. He really has too many things on his mind.

All the people who were waiting around him were driven away by him. Now he doesn't want to see anyone at all. His heart, which had been strong, was now fragile. Now whenever he sees others, he feels as if they are mocking him. Even if it is someone else's rules, respectful, and sincerely kneeling on the ground in fear. He also felt that other people's hearts were actually laughing at him.

The King of the Dead Country. O king of the dead country! These four words, like a thorn in his back, made Wu Sangui restless. How long has he been in the ranks, but now he is about to become one of the shortest-lived emperors in history. In other words, the dynasty he established was about to fall in such a short period of time. According to this aspect, I can be regarded as setting a historical precedent!

Now as long as he thinks of the four words of the king of the dead country, Wu Sangui feels that he has become Emperor Chongzhen, no, it is better to force Emperor Chongzhen. At this moment, life has become boring, I really want to find a place, quietly like Emperor Chongzhen, and hang myself. Every time he walked in the courtyard, his eyes couldn't help but look for those trees that could be used to hang himself. He even learned that trees with forks, about one zhang high, were the easiest to hang.

What did Wu Sangui have the idea of hanging? Emperor Wu Sangui himself did not know. He felt that the idea of hanging himself was getting stronger and stronger.

He entered Sichuan for half a month, and the Mawei Army was stunned that there was no movement at all, and he was not sending a single force into Sichuan at all, but these days, several of his generals seized the time to integrate the forces of various provinces in Sichuan for him. More than half a year ago, when Wu Sangui ascended the throne, he really felt that the world was in sight, he Wu Sangui was the true son of heaven, and his Wu family would soon replace the Aixin Jueluo family

However, the reality is too cruel. His goal, before it was achieved, suffered a cruel blow. The so-called greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, and the reality at the moment hit him hard.

He no longer has the ambition to compete for the world again, and he also knows that now he has no capital to continue to compete for hegemony. It is said that the days of waiting for death are the saddest, and Wu Sangui now deeply feels such a feeling. If the Mawei Army immediately attacked Sichuan and attacked Sichuan Prefecture, maybe Wu Sangui would really be able to make up his mind, hang himself early, kick his legs, and leave this world. It is said that long pain is better than short pain, as long as you die, it will be a hundred. Anyway, he wouldn't let himself fall into the clutches of the Ponytail alive. He couldn't afford to lose face.

However, the troops of the Mawei Army have been staying in Hubei all the time, no longer moving forward, and there is no movement at all. The informant reports under his command informed that the Mawei Army stationed in Suizhou, Hubei and other places had no plans to attack Sichuan for the time being. This made Wu Sangui very entangled, he wanted to die, and he was a little unwilling. Don't die, there is really no point in living on a day like this.

Especially recently, Wu Sangui has become even more depressed. He has received countless bad news one after another, does he really want to stay in Sichuan? Especially recently, Wu Sangui has become even more depressed. He has received countless bad news one after another, does he really want to stay in Sichuan?

But now, the Mawei Army is thriving and has a bright future, while his side, the Wu family's court, is in the twilight of the West Mountain, dying. Looking at everyone around me, none of them are more effective. Those who were more effective were lost in the previous wars

The Mawei Army has swept through the remnants of the clouds at this moment, constantly swallowing the territory of the Wu Dynasty from multiple directions. The troops of the Second Route Army, that is, Jiangxi, have fully reached the depths of Hunan and are thinking about advancing in the direction of Guizhou. In the First Route Army, Liu Yinglan led the First Division and the Sixth Division of the Guangdong Garrison and the 10,000 soldiers and horses of the original Zheng clan that had been incorporated from Taiwan, and the entire territory of Guangxi had been taken, and the vanguard had already advanced to Yunnan, or it would not be long before that. After the First and Second Route Armies met in Yunnan. The prefectures and counties south of the Yangtze River are also about to be sexual.

North of the Yangtze River. Now, in Hubei, Henan, Shaanxi and other places, a large number of defenders of the Wu army have taken the initiative to join them, and if they are not attached, the Mawei army will drive over, and then it can only be annihilated. Throughout the world, the area controlled by the Wu army is getting smaller and smaller. The supply of financial resources and materials is becoming more and more difficult. The countless troops of the Mawei Army were like fishing nets pulled up by a horsetail armament, enveloping the Wu army tightly.

At present, the only ones that Wu Jun can barely control are Yunnan and Sichuan. Forget about those deep mountains and old forests, the Mawei Army was not ready to go in, but the Wu Army never went in. Even if you go in, the mountains are high and the roads are rugged. If you give the number, you won't follow it.

"See the emperor, how is the shortage situation in Yunnan?"

Chief strategist Fang Guangchen just cut Geng Jingzhong. Kneel down respectfully.

"What's new lately?" After a while, Wu Sangui said a little irritably.

"This"

Fang Guangchen was submissive, seemed to have some scruples, and didn't dare to say it clearly.

"Let's talk about it!"

"The sin is not in you!"

Wu Sangui said impatiently.

"Xi'an, it's lost."

Fang Guangchen reported truthfully and in a low voice......

"What did you say?"

"Xi'an is also lost, and I will die in heaven!"

Wu Sangui felt as if he had been struck by lightning again, and he felt a little dizzy.

It took a while for Wu Sangui to slowly recover. His eyes became a little hollow and a little sad. Xi'an is the gateway to Sichuan, and the Mawei Army occupies Xi'an, so it is just around the corner to enter Sichuan. Since the Mawei Army controlled Xi'an, it seemed that he was looking for death when he re-entered Sichuan.

The Mawei Army's control of Xi'an also has a very serious consequence, except for the very northern region, plus the rotten good people who read the dead book in the south, all of which already belong to the Mawei Army. Xi'an is a key strategic location with coarse control, controlling the southeastern half of the wall. Losing Xi'an is equivalent to losing most of the wall. The Mawei Army's control of Xi'an is equivalent to controlling the entire half of the wall.

"Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by Geng Jingzhong, and his subordinates didn't want to hand it over,"

"Geng Jingzhong's letter? Bring! ”

Emperor Wu Sangui took a deep breath.

Fang Guangchen hurriedly took out the letter and presented it to Emperor Wu Sangui with both hands.

Emperor Wu Sangui took it, opened it without thinking, and looked at it at a glance, and his face changed a little. He subconsciously wanted to tear the letter apart, but in the end he held back. He finally managed to control his emotions and read the contents of the letter carefully. As a result, the green tendons on his face all burst out.

"What is this?"

Emperor Wu Sangui said angrily.

Fang Guangchen knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.

He knew that the content of the letter would definitely anger Emperor Wu Sangui. He had already read the contents of the letter. In his courtyard, several generals of the Wu army have also seen it. They also had a brief discussion of the contents of the letter. From the perspective of the ministers, they felt that the content of the letter was not bad, but from the perspective of Wu Sangui, the emperor of the Great Zhou, it was a little difficult to accept.

The letter was written by Geng Jingzhong, but the handwriting was obviously not written by Mawei Jun, only the signature was Geng Jingzhong's name.

"What do you mean by a land bigger than Kyushu?"

"Where is there a land bigger than Kyushu in China?"

Emperor Wu Sangui waved the letter in his hand and couldn't help but roar.

Fang Guangchen was not angry, and knelt on the ground respectfully, quietly enduring the roar of Emperor Wu Sangui. Emperor Wu Sangui's reaction was quite normal. Even, a little better than guessed. If Wu Sangui brushes his sleeves away, it will be really troublesome. It wasn't until Emperor Wu Sangui's anger was almost vented that he took out a map from his arms and raised it above his head.

"What is this?"

Emperor Wu Sangui asked suspiciously.

"World Map."

"Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by Geng Jingzhong, and his subordinates didn't want to hand it over,"

"Geng Jingzhong's letter? Bring! ”

Emperor Wu Sangui took a deep breath.

Emperor Wu Sangui asked suspiciously.

"World Map."

Fang Guangchen hurriedly replied quickly.

This world map was sent along with Geng Jingzhong's letter. There is no doubt that the main reason is to let Wu Sangui have a clearer understanding of the future of his family. For this reason, the location of the whole of Africa is circled, and it is specially marked, and this place is larger than the land of Kyushu. As long as you are not a fool, you can see clearly.

"So far away?"

Wu Sangui couldn't believe that the world was so big. (To be continued......)
