When the battle of the imperial court begins, the power of the Jiangnan scholars will definitely be weakened.

The news of the reform of the household salt administration soon reached Guizhou.

Liu Suifeng was far away in the southwest, but he did not relax for a moment to pay attention to the imperial court's newspaper. He spent a lonely winter in Guizhou. Not only is it not hot in the summer, but it is not cold in the winter. When he was in Nanjing, he never went to Xuanwufang to look for courtesans, nor did he live in a wide house, so there was nothing uncomfortable staying in the remote Guizhou Mansion.

After reading the newly copied Di Bao in his hand, he said to himself: "It seems that it is better for me to stay in Guizhou" This Di Bao was specially sent by Liu Quan to send him over. The Liu family has money and can afford to raise such a messenger.

The battle for Nanking had just begun, and it was a different kind of war, no less dangerous than dealing with the Qing captives. There will definitely be people who will lose their heads because of this, and only Zong Mao will disdain such a powerful opponent.

Now, Liu Suifeng still can't figure out whether the regent is using Zong Mao, or whether he is completely on Zong Mao's side. This will determine his position.

Since ancient times, those who have implemented reforms have not ended well, as far as Shang Ying, and as close as Zhang Juzheng.

While he was pondering, a young servant walked to the door and said, "My lord, Mr. Liu is visiting."

"Hurry up, please," Liu Suifeng put the letter into his sleeve.

A moment later, Liu Wenxiu's heavy footsteps came from outside the door, he was no longer dressed in a cloth and felt hat like in Yunnan, and the general military uniform from Yipin made him look very imposing.

Seeing Liu Suifeng, Liu Wenxiu knelt on one knee, raised his hands and said, "See Liu Shilang"

Liu Suifeng showed a dissatisfied look and said: "Oh, didn't I tell you, I'm not a governor, nor a governor, you don't have to kneel down to me, if it reaches the ears of the regent, won't you cause me trouble?"

Liu Wenxiu stood up with a smile. He is a thief, but he also knows that the squire of the Ministry of Rites is of a higher rank than the governor.

Liu Suifeng asked, "Are there any difficulties recently?" ”

Liu Wenxiu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, the food and salary of the imperial court have arrived, and the sergeants and soldiers of the army are excited, and they all want to kill the enemy in battle as soon as possible and serve the regent." "He was a wise man, and he didn't mention the emperor, only the regent.

Liu Suifeng sneered and asked, "Has Yunnan stopped there?" ”

Liu Wenxiu came for this matter, and said: "I just got the news that Sun Thief is constantly recruiting troops and buying horses, Yunnan has limited food and salary, and General Li has been squeezed out to the fullest, and he has the heart to return to his senses." ”

Liu Suifeng showed dissatisfaction and said, "It's not a day or two that he has this heart, but when will he wait until he has been hesitating like this?" Last year, the imperial court quelled the rebellion in Guangxi, and originally intended to continue to send troops to crusade against Yunnan, but we tried to stop it. ”

After Liu Wenxiu defected to the Ming court, Liu Suifeng was even more aware of the internal changes in the Great Western Army. Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo are good friends, and the two are still on their side, but they have kept in touch secretly, and because of this, Sun Kewang's suspicion of Li Dingguo is getting deeper and deeper.

Liu Wenxiu revealed: "Although the Sun thief has not cut off General Li's salary, there are no ordnance and other items at all, and General Li has become disheartened with Sun Thief, and General Li wants to see the adult." ”

Liu Suifeng scolded in his heart: "Don't talk about the point, the prelude is like an old woman's footcloth, smelly and long, and there is such important news hidden in the back." He thought about the confrontation between the Yungui Ming Army and the Great Western Army, and said, "You tell General Li to let him come to Annanwei to see me." ”

Liu Wenxiu said: "There are Sun thieves and horses guarding in front of Annan Wei, General Li means, a good place between Luoxiong Prefecture and Guizhou Mansion is called Dianqiao Town, General Li invites the adults to meet him there." ”

Liu sighed slightly with the wind and said, "Okay"

He has no family, he stays alone in Guizhou Mansion without worry, and what he is most worried about is that the regent forgets him, so he must go to the scene every half a month to report the situation in the southwest, and he has to forcibly find out something if there is nothing to do.

The matter of the Great Western Army has been delayed long enough.

Liu Wenxiu said goodbye and left, and immediately contacted Li Dingguo. His soldiers and horses were stationed in Guizhou Prefecture on the road to Luoxiong Prefecture, not far from Dianqiao Town.

The majesty of the imperial court is getting heavier, especially last year when Xu Yiyang pacified the rebellion in Guangxi, Zheng Zhilong surrendered in Fujian and Guangdong, and the governor and general soldiers of Guizhou simply offered Liu Suifeng as a grandfather.

I heard that Liu Suifeng was going to meet Li Dingguo, and the governor of Guizhou came to dissuade him.

Last year, Liu Suifeng entered Yunnan Mansion alone as an envoy, and even if something happened, it was none of his business. But Liu Suifeng has lived in Guizhou Mansion for a long time, and if something happens this time, it is difficult to guarantee that the imperial court will not blame it.

To put it mildly, Guizhou General Soldier Pi Xiong insisted on sending 500 soldiers to escort him. They instinctively distrust a thief like Liu Wenxiu.

Three days later, Liu Wenxiu went to the Guizhou Mansion to make a report and agreed with Li Dingguo to meet in Dianqiao Town five days later.

Liu Suifeng suddenly asked, "Do you still have cronies left in Kunming City?" ”

Liu Wenxiu hesitated: "Yes, yes, but since I left Yunnan, I have never been in touch." ”

"You tell Sun Kewang the news of my meeting with Li Dingguo."

Liu Wenxiu was stunned. He is also a scheming person among the thieves, and now he knows that compared with the Wenchen of the Ming Dynasty, he is only worthy of carrying shoes for others.

Liu Suifeng made a compassionate look and said, "General Li has been hesitating for a long time, you and I must push him together." ”

Liu Wenxiu said hesitantly: "Sun Thief has a secret agent in Guizhou Mansion, as long as I show my mouth a little, Sun Thief will know." ”

"Okay, since that's the case, you will spread the news that Li Dingguo met with me this time to conspire with Yunnan, and the imperial court has promised to order Li Dingguo to be the governor of Yunnan."

"Really......, really?" Liu Wenxiu's eyes widened.

Liu Suifeng said with a smile: "True or false, who can tell clearly." ”

Liu Wenxiu bowed and retreated.

Liu Suifeng is not afraid that he will be disobedient to yin and yang. Liu Wenxiu and Li Dingguo are good friends, but judging from Liu Wenxiu's recent expression to himself, he has a good understanding of his role transformation. Liu Wenxiu was the first of the four generals of the Great Western Army to throw himself into the arms of the imperial court, which has shown his vision and the life principles he adheres to.

Although friends are good, fate and future are more important.

Five days is enough for Sun Kewang to react.

Liu Suifeng didn't know what would happen, and he didn't have a last resort, but he didn't miss any opportunity.

In the past five days, Guizhou has been very calm, and there is nothing special to do. Leather Bear was heavily garrisoned in Annanwei and was ready for the Great Western Army.

One hazy morning, five hundred majestic soldiers escorted Liu Suifeng's sedan chair out of the south gate of Guiyang.

Guiyang is not prosperous, and there are not many pedestrians in the early morning. Liu Suifeng's actions seem to be unwanted, but in fact, he wants to cover up. He knew that Sun Kewang was a suspicious person, so he deliberately got up early in the morning and pretended.

The 500 people sent by Pi Xiong were all strong men selected from the army, and they looked very brave, but Liu Suifeng was very suspicious of their combat effectiveness. He had heard that Leather Bear had fought two large-scale battles with the Onishi Army, a dozen small wars, none of which had been won.

After walking out of Guiyang City for most of the day, Liu Wenxiu led 500 soldiers to wait on the side of the road. They will spend the night in Liu Wenxiu's barracks today, and then go to Dianqiao Town tomorrow.

Liu Wenxiu announced outside the sedan chair: "My lord, the last general has ordered someone to block the road in and out of Dianqiao Town yesterday, and there are soldiers and horses guarding it within a radius of ten miles. ”

Liu Suifeng replied in the sedan chair: "Mr. Liu thought very carefully"

The group continued on their way, and finally reached the camp at the foot of the mountain before dark.

Many bonfires were lit around the camp, and Liu Wenxiu waited carefully for Liu to get off the sedan chair with the wind. There are many flying insects and beasts in the mountains, and the environment is worse than that in Guiyang City, Liu Wenxiu lit a lot of incense in the big tent, and waited for Liu Suifeng very thoughtfully.

There was no word all night, and the next morning, until the sun was shining, the willow did not come out again with the wind.

When he walked to noon, there was the sound of horses' hooves in front of him, and after a while, Liu Wenxiu came to say: "Li Dingguo has arrived in Dianqiao Town. ”

Liu Suifeng in the sedan chair did not speak.

Stop and stop all the way, in the middle of the afternoon, there are many footsteps in the distance. Suddenly, a deep middle-aged male voice came from outside: "Meet Liu Shilang." ”

Liu ordered with the wind: "Fall off the sedan chair"

The guards opened the curtain, and Liu walked out with the wind and saw Li Dingguo facing him.

"General Li, don't come unharmed."

Li Dingguo looked up. Liu Suifeng looked at him not like last year, and he looked a little tired, thinking that he was worried about the split of the Great Western Army.

At the beginning of the year, Sun Kewang killed Liu Wenxiu's general Wang Xianbi, and when Liu Wenxiu betrayed the Great Western Army, Li Dingguo could have led his troops to intercept it, but for the sake of the Great Western Army, he endured it. His forbearance made it impossible for him and Sun Kewang to maneuver.

Dianqiao Town is in front of him, and Li Dingguo goes out of the town to greet him.

This is a small market in the middle of a big mountain, where mountain people often come to trade goods, and now the people in it have been driven away, and only Liu Wenxiu's soldiers and horses are left.

There is an inn in the middle of the market town, which is the most complete house in the area.

Liu Wenxiu led the way and invited Liu Suifeng and Li Dingguo to enter. He is someone who both trusts.

"This place is shabby, Lord Liu and Brother Li, please." His mind was spinning, and he should call Li Dingguo Brother Li.

There are two chairs in the inn, which do not match the surrounding decorations, and at a glance you can see that they were specially prepared by Liu Wenxiu.

Liu Suifeng sat down first and said to Li Dingguo: "Please"

Liu Wenxiu retired with interest.

Li Dingguo didn't dare to sit down, stood in front of Liu Suifeng and said: "Liu Shilang, the last general is willing to be recruited by the imperial court, but there is one condition. He made no secret of his frustration, one mountain could not accommodate two tigers, Sun Kewang wanted to dominate Yunnan, he either surrendered or left.

Liu Suifeng didn't expect him to be so direct, and hurriedly asked, "Although I said it." ”

"The last general is willing to surrender, please ask the court for permission, and don't let the Great Western Army fight in the same room." Li Dingguo thought about it, couldn't bear it in his heart, and said: "If Sun Kewang can repent in time, please ask the court to leave him a way out." ”

"These are two conditions" Liu Suifeng said with a smile: "However, as long as General Li is willing to surrender, don't say two conditions, that is, twenty conditions, I will also fight for the regent." ”

Li Dingguo said: "After the last general surrenders, I am willing to lead the army north to attack Shaanxi"

Liu Suifeng laughed and said, "General Li has this heart, and it is not in vain that I have lived in Guizhou for half a year." ”

In this way, the effort he spent on Sun Kewang was in vain.
