Li Dingguo's eyes were red, and he kept urging the war horse under his crotch.

Bai Wenxuan, who was leading the way in front, gradually couldn't support it, he had seven or eight wounds on his body, although there were no fatal injuries, but he also shed a lot of blood, and after running wildly all night, he was exhausted.

He supported himself until he was almost lying on his horse.

"Bai Wenxuan" Li Dingguo reined in his horse and said: "You can't do it, don't go with me anymore, go back to Dianqiao Town to recuperate first"

Bai Wenxuan squeezed out a smile and said, "General, I'm fine."

Two hours have passed since he heard that Luo Xiongzhou was attacked, and the hidden pain in his heart still makes Li Dingguo's breathing a little unsmooth. He said calmly: "It won't help you to go back again, I want to go back to see Sun Kewang, I want to ask him why"

"General" Bai Wenxuan smiled bitterly. Is there anything else to ask? From then on, the two divisions split from the Great Western Army will be an endless situation.

Li Dingguo sighed and said, "You go back to find Liu Shilang, I'm desperate now, I don't know if the court is willing to accept me." ”

This is a big deal, Bai Wenxuan feels that it is better to talk to Liu Suifeng by himself than to talk about it with Li Dingguo. He really wanted to take refuge in the imperial court for a long time, but he never had the idea of betraying Li Dingguo.

He turned his horse's head and arched his hand, "Yes."

After resting for a while, Li Dingguo continued to move forward, and walked forward for another hour, and there were gradually routs on the road, and after seeing his banner, they all knelt down and cried loudly.

Li Dingguo ordered the scouts to follow several small roads in the direction of Luoxiongzhou to inquire about the news and collect the fleeing troops. There are more than 100 miles of mountain roads from Dianqiao Town to Luoxiong Prefecture, and he is worried that Sun Kewang will continue to attack, so he does not dare to be too reckless and moves forward cautiously.

However, these paths are narrow and difficult to navigate, making it difficult for large armies to walk. Even if Sun Kewang wants to take the opportunity to attack Guiyang, he will most likely break through from Annanwei.

In the middle of the afternoon, he was not too far away from Luo Xiongzhou, and the scout told Luo Xiongzhou that the city gate was closed, and Sun Kewang had blocked the road to pass.

Looking at the more than 3,000 remnants around him, Li Dingguo wanted to cry without tears.

There are more than 20,000 people under him, and now only these people are left, and if the others do not surrender, most of them will be poisoned by Sun Kewang.

The army found a slightly flat hill and settled down. At nightfall, Liu Wenxiu led the army to respond, and the two soldiers cooperated. Liu Wenxiu saw that Li Dingguo was depressed, and there were 10,000 ants crawling on his chest.

He walked over and comforted: "General Li, Sun Thief is vicious, it's not too late to recognize his face today, he will not end well if he goes on like this."

"So what" Li Dingguo's eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire, "Sun Kewang has always been resolute in his actions, but he is afraid that there will already be a river of blood in Luoxiong Prefecture." ”

Liu Wenxiu said: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself"

The two of them sat down and stopped talking, and now they could only wait for news from Liu Shilang and the Ming court. They are also people who have backers.

The next day, Liu Wenxiu was promoted early to count the troops.

It was the limit to garrison 5,000 soldiers and horses in this mountain range, and Li Dingguo ordered his troops to lead 2,000 wounded and panicked defeated troops to return first, and he ordered 1,000 soldiers and horses to go straight to Luoxiongzhou.

Before leaving, Liu Wenxiu persuaded: "Since the Sun thief has already started, what's the use of the general seeing him again." It is better to lead the army back to Guiyang first, and invite the Ming court soldiers to come to Yunnan to crusade, and see on the battlefield. ”

Li Dingguo was silent, although his heart hurt, there was still a wisp of affection on the Great Western Army.

At the beginning, his father-in-law Zhang Xianzhong was brutal and unreasonable, and he also did a lot of things against his will. The Great Western Army was defeated by Wu Sangui in Sichuan, his father-in-law died, and the four of them fled to Yunnan.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Liu Wenxiu did not dare to persuade him again, and commanded his soldiers to arrange fortifications in dangerous places and prepare to resist Sun Kewang's army.

Li Dingguo turned his horse and left, Liu Wenxiu looked at his back and shouted: "Sun Kewang is vicious, if there is something wrong, please come back." The more Li Dingguo suffered, the more sorry he became, but he didn't dare to reveal that he betrayed him when he died.

Li Dingguo led the army on full alert and crossed the trail. There were many market towns and villages in the former plains of Luoxiong Prefecture, but the mutiny of the day before yesterday had frightened the mountain people, and now no one can see them.

He led his army all the way to the east gate of Luoxiongzhou City, and no one came out to intercept it.

The banner of "Daxi" is still erected at the head of the city of Luoxiongzhou, but the flag of "Li" has been replaced by the flag of "Sun".

Li Dingguo saw a row of steps hanging from the head of the city from a distance, and he only felt a pain in his chest like a pinprick. He couldn't hold back any longer, urged the horse to gallop out, and shouted outside the east city gate: "Sun Kewang, you come out for me"

There was a commotion at the head of the city, and a row of soldiers appeared, each armed with bows and arrows, as if facing a great enemy. Li Dingguo's prestige is unknown to no one in the Great Western Army.

Li Dingguo jumped like thunder under the city, shouting: "Sun Kewang, you come out for me" His family and children are all in Luoxiong Prefecture, and I don't know if they have been poisoned

After he shouted more than a dozen times, a gloomy voice sounded at the head of the city, "General Li, you dare to come back"

Sun Kewang's figure appeared at the head of the city.

Li Dingguo scolded: "You are despicable and shameless, how can you fight in the same room and sneak attack my Luoxiong Prefecture"

Sun Kewang said: "You forgot the original intention of raising troops, and you want to follow the example of the rebellious Liu Wenxiu to join the imperial court, what face do you have to say in my face?"

Li Dingguo said: "Why do I want to take refuge in the imperial court, you sent someone to Nanjing two years ago to ask for surrender." You forced Liu Wenxiu away and attacked Luoxiong Prefecture again, aren't you afraid of chilling the hearts of your brothers? ”

Sun Kewang said: "The Great Western Army takes me as the commander, and it is not so easy for you to be the governor of Yunnan." I won't kill you today because I want you to see clearly what happened to me for betraying me.

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Li Dingguo's reply, and turned around and went down to the city.

The day before yesterday, he took advantage of Li Dingguo's absence in Luoxiongzhou to open the city gate and command the army to enter the city. Li Dingguo's troops were strong in combat, but because Sun Kewang was still the commander of the Great Western Army, he arranged spies in Li Ding** to do internal response, and many soldiers did not understand the reason and surrendered. Only Bai Wenxuan and others were die-hard, and led their troops out of Luoxiong Prefecture to report to Li Dingguo.

After taking control of Luoxiongzhou, Sun Kewang immediately beheaded more than 100 of Li Dingguo's loyal generals in the name of rebellion. Li Ding** is famous in the Great Western Army for being able to fight, and it is impossible for him to kill more than 20,000 people, so he just wants to take the opportunity to control this army of soldiers and horses.

He sent more than half of his soldiers to Kunming, wanting to use the method of dispersed garrison to slowly divide Li Ding**, and some disobedient people were slowly eliminated.

Li Dingguo shouted outside the city for a while, but there was no response in Luoxiongzhou, and he had no choice but to lead his troops back.

This mutiny changed the situation in the Southwest.

Li Dingguo led the remnants of his troops to retreat to camp outside the city of Guiyang, and the Guizhou commanders Pi Xiong and Liu Wenxiu each guarded the dangerous places and waited for Yunnan.

Liu Suifeng wrote to Nanjing City, and he couldn't return to Nanjing in the short term.

The Great Western Army won the hearts of the people in Yunnan, the southwest road was difficult, and the imperial court opened three battlefields in Jiangbei in a row, and in the short term, it was only afraid that it would not intend to start the war in the southwest again.

Liu Suifeng first reassured Li Dingguo, saying that the previous agreement between the two was still valid.

The envoy traveled from Guiyang to Nanjing in 20 days at the earliest, and these 20 days were like years for Li Dingguo. After Liu Suifeng knew that his family had fallen, he hurriedly contacted the Jinyi Wei secret agent lurking in Yunnan to inquire about the news.

Ten days later, the border between Yunnan and Guizhou was restored to its former appearance, as if this mutiny had never been the same.

Today, there was news from the secret agent, and Liu Suifeng hurriedly invited Li Dingguo into the mansion. His dwelling was secluded, and he was well guarded by guards.

The imperial court has not yet officially announced Li Dingguo's official position, and Liu Suifeng still calls him a general.

Ten days ago, he saw that Li Dingguo was a little entangled and depressed, and now his face was haggard.

The servant served tea, and Liu Suifeng invited Li Dingguo to sit opposite him. He was infected with the habit of tasting Yunnan Pu'er in Guizhou, and now Li Dingguo is only afraid that any tea he drinks will be bitter

"General Li, don't worry too much, your family is being detained in Kunming City, and Sun Kewang doesn't dare to make a mistake."

Li Dingguoqiang smiled: "Thank you Liu Shilang." After joining the imperial court, he realized the difficulty of being an official, but he was afraid that he would never find the freedom he had in Luoxiong Prefecture again. Now that he has nothing, he has to rely on Liu Suifeng for many things, and he doesn't dare to look at this Liu Shilang with the same equal mentality as before.

Liu Suifeng took a sip of tea and said, "General Li, don't worry, I can guarantee General Li, Sun Kewang will never dare to be rude to the general's family." ”

He said this very suddenly, Li Dingguo knew that this Liu Shilang was scheming, and he didn't reply to talk nonsense to deceive him.

He asked in a trembling voice, "Are you really sure?" After all, Yu was responsible for the lives of more than 50 members of his family. If all his family members died because of this, although he would hate Sun Kewang, he was afraid that he would regret that he should not accept the court's recruitment.

"Of course I'm sure," Liu pulled out a letter from his sleeve and still on the table.

Li Dingguo was puzzled, reached out and took out the letter. When he saw the handwriting in the letter, his face changed before he could read the contents.

Liu drank tea steadily with the wind, he couldn't be the master of this matter, but he was afraid that the regent would make a decision. However, the regent ordered him to preside over the surrender of the Great Western Army, and his opinion would be respected.

The letter was very long, and Li Dingguo read it for a long time, and then put the letter back into the envelope, and his hands couldn't help but tremble a little.

"What does General Lee think?"

Li Dingguo let out a long sigh and leaned back in his chair.

Liu Suifeng said: "I am ashamed of General Li in my heart, and I invite General Li to come today, just to ask General Li to be the master, and I will tell the court again." ”

Li Dingguo's heart was in a mess, Liu Suifeng said this, that is to say, it is already decided, and it is up to him to decide. He didn't know that Liu Suifeng said that he was ashamed of him, referring to the fact that he took the initiative to leak false news to Sun Kewang before.

He thought for a long time and said firmly: "I, I just want my family to live"

Liu Suifeng said: "This matter is related to the credibility of the imperial court, and the regent is benevolent, so he may not inquire about personal affairs." I will do my best, General Li should think of the good in everything, and things may not be non-negotiable. ”

Of course, Li Dingguo understands that it is already rare for Liu Suifeng to come and ask him. He hadn't even seen the face of the regent, and he only relied on Liu Suifeng's relay, how much affection he had.

He was unwilling in his heart.
