Chapter 675 Sun Kewang Chen Yin

Sun Kewang originally wanted to see both Wu Sangui and Gao Yihuan hurt, and then reap the benefits, but he never expected that Wu Sangui would be over so soon.

A few years ago, Sun Kewang fought against Gao Yihuan, and knowing the strength of the Wei army, he felt that the Wei army was not as good as the Guan Ning army.

How come it's only been a few years, and Wu Sangui was defeated as soon as he entered Sichuan, and he surrendered directly?
Sun Kewang sent many spies to monitor the situation in northern Sichuan. When he learned that Wu Sangui surrendered and Gao Yihuan occupied Chengdu, he was shocked.

He didn't expect Guan Ningjun to be such a waste, and he couldn't even beat Guan Ningjun, so the result of meeting Gao Yihuan can be imagined.

In the dark night, the sky was drizzling, and the icy autumn rain brought chills to people.

On the Naxi River in the west of Luzhou City, Sun Kewang stood on a boat with several main generals of the Western Army, wearing coir raincoats and bamboo hats.

The rain splashed down, landed on the bamboo hat and coir raincoat, and then dripped on the deck, making the atmosphere very depressing.

Under the bamboo hat, Sun Kewang's face was gloomy. He pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, and ordered decisively, "It's all sunk!"

Behind him, the faces of many Western Army generals were sinking. Liu Wenxiu stretched out his hand, wanting to say something, but he took it back, sighed heavily, turned around and waved, "Sink!"

Among the four kings of the Western Army, when Li Dingguo was still alive, he was still able to fight against Sun Kewang, but at this time, Liu Wenxiu and Ainengqi were both inferior to Sun Kewang, and the affairs of the Western Army were basically decided by Sun Kewang.

In the wind and rain, the soldiers of the Western Army wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats immediately threw heavy wooden boxes into the river.

On the Naxi River, nearly a hundred ships on both sides of the ship were soldiers who discarded wooden boxes and dumped silver ingots.

The muscles on Sun Kewang's face twitched as he watched the treasure sink into the river, but he had no choice. Gao Yihuan and his troops entered Sichuan, and the Guan Ning army surrendered directly. , he, the third child, as the weakest party, has no chance, so he can only abandon Sichuan and turn south.

"Gold and silver are just belongings, so you don't have to feel bad. In this world, as long as you have soldiers and horses in hand, you can get back the gold, silver and food!" Sun Kewang turned around, looked at the generals behind him, and spoke words of comfort.

After several years of struggle of the Western Army, now they are beaten back to their original form, and all the soldiers of the Western Army feel very uncomfortable.

Liu Wenxiu asked in a deep voice: "What does Your Majesty plan to do from now on?"

Sun Kewang said: "The army turned to Yunnan and Guizhou. The roads there are difficult and there are many chieftains. The Ming army and the Wei army are busy fighting for hegemony, and they have no time to take care of the southwest when dealing with the Qing army."

Sun Kewang pressed the handle of the knife, looked to the southwest with deep eyes, and continued: "Yunnan Chieftain Shadingzhou has rebelled for three years, and the Ming army has not sent troops to suppress it, which shows that the Ming Dynasty is unable to take care of the southwest. Gao Yihuan occupied Sichuan In the end, it will be feared by the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and it is unlikely to continue to use troops against Yunnan and Guizhou. This gives us a chance for the Western Army to occupy Yunnan and Guizhou and rebuild Daxi."

Hearing what he said, everyone's expressions eased up.

Liu Wenxiu nodded slightly, but still said worriedly: "Occupying Yunnan and Guizhou is not enough to make a big deal!"

Sun Kewang nodded, "Occupying Yunnan and Guizhou is indeed not easy to achieve, but it is not a problem to separate one side. Besides, when we gain a firm foothold in Yunnan and Guizhou, we can take advantage of the opportunity of the Ming, Wei and Qing dynasties to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains, take the opportunity to encroach on Guangxi and occupy Jiaozhi. , and even seize Guangzhou, and obtain a tax-heavy land, it will definitely make a difference."

This was the strategy that Prime Minister Xu Yixian once mentioned to him. Sun Kewang modified it a little at this moment and used it to fool his subordinates, which is quite suitable for the situation.

Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and the others looked at each other. The Western Army was not capable of fighting Gao Yihuan, so turning south would be a good strategy.

Sun Kewang glanced at the crowd and saw that no one raised any objections, so he waved his hand, "Okay, let all the soldiers enter the cabin, and the fleet returns to Luzhou."

At dawn, the fleet returned to the river outside Luzhou City. Sun Kewang got off the boat and led a group of generals directly into the city, preparing to go to the palace to discuss the matter of turning south.

After receiving Liu Zongmin's beating report, the scouts of the Western Army also discovered that the Wei Army on the North Road had occupied Chengdu, and sent vanguards to press Luzhou.

After Gao Yihuan got Sichuan, it is impossible to tolerate such an armed force of the Western Army and continue to stay in southern Sichuan. There are only two fates waiting for the Western Army.

Since King Qin ruled the Liuhe and unified the world, the concept of "Great Unification" has had a profound impact on Chinese history.

Every time a dynasty collapsed, this political theory made the various forces restless and focused on unity.

And it turns out that it is only a matter of time before they can be unified in the end.

Under this concept of "Great Unification", there is only surrender and being eliminated, and it is impossible to coexist.

Obviously, before the Western Army was cornered, the ambition in Sun Kewang's heart also made it impossible for him to surrender, so he could only choose to temporarily avoid the advance of the Wei Army.

At this moment, Sun Kewang and his party had just arrived in front of the palace, when Xu Yixian greeted them, "Your Majesty, Niu Jinxing is here!"

Sun Kewang frowned slightly, walked in, and said, "Is he here to seek refuge with the king?"

"No!" Xu Yixian shook his head, "He has already surrendered to Gao Yihuan, and he is here to be a lobbyist for the Western Wei Kingdom!"

Sun Kewang stopped walking, his cheeks fluttered a few times, unexpectedly, Niu Jinxing also joined Gao Yihuan.

For a moment, Sun Kewang felt a little lost, and took a long time to take a step, "Where is he?"

"Just after crossing the river, the gates of the city were not open because it was dark, and people were still outside the city!" Xu Yixian said.

Sun Kewang heard the words, stopped again, turned around, and said to the generals behind him, "Go and rest first, the king will meet Niu Jinxing for a while, and then discuss the retreat."

Seeing this, the generals clasped their fists and left, Liu Wenxiu wanted to stay and listen to what Niu Jinxing had to say, and ask about Li Dingguo, but seeing that Sun Kewang didn't intend to let him go with him, he also left with the generals.

Sun Kewang asked someone to bring Niu Jinxing, and then went to the study with Xu Yixian, Xu Yixian then took out two letters from his chest, "My lord, these are two letters brought by Niu Jinxing, one is written by Gao Yihuan, and the other is written by Gao Yihuan." The seal~ one is written by Anxi Wang himself!"

Sun Kewang took the two letters, first picked up Gao Yihuan's letter to read, and suddenly sneered, "Gao Yihuan wants to recruit this king, and promises to let me be his great scholar in the Western Wei Dynasty. It's ridiculous."

It is absolutely impossible for Sun Kewang to agree to such a condition to let Sun Kewang give up his military power and become a bachelor, and after a few years Gao Yihuan digests the Western Army, and then kicks him away.

In fact, he really wronged Gao Yihuan. Gao Yihuan really liked his ability to handle internal affairs, so he wanted him to be a bachelor.

At this time, Sun Kewang picked up Li Dingguo's letter and looked at it. The general idea was that the purpose of the uprising was to prevent the people from being exploited and to enable the brothers to live a good life. Now that Zhang Xianzhong is dead and the Western Army is gone, it is better to take this opportunity Taking refuge in the Western Wei State saved the common people from military disasters, and the soldiers of the Western Army could also have a good home.

This time Sun Kewang didn't say anything, he just lit the letter on the candlestick and watched Li Dingguo's letter turn into ashes.

Li Dingguo has a high prestige in the Western Army, he is handsome and capable of fighting, he is deeply loved by Zhang Xianzhong, but Sun Kewang doesn't like him.

When Zhang Xianzhong was still there, he pretended to be a magnanimous elder brother, but in fact he always hated Li Dingguo in his heart. Now that he managed to control the Western Army, Li Dingguo actually persuaded him to surrender. How could Sun Kewang agree?

Seeing that Sun Kewang had burned Li Dingguo's letter, Xu Yixian hesitated and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to send Niu Jinxing away immediately, or kill him?"

Sun Kewang shook his head, "No need, I have a talk with him first, and then it's not too late to send someone to send him across the river!"
