Chapter 972 Sun Kewang's Choice

Sun Kewang sat on the throne, stroked the dragon head on the armrest, and focused all his attention on Gao Yihuan proclaiming himself emperor. "Speaking of which, Gao Yihuan was originally just a small captain under Li Zicheng, and now he is the emperor, and Gu is Zhang Xianzhong's adoptive son. He became famous much earlier than Gao Yihuan, but his achievements are far behind Gao Yihuan. Henan Guisun is called emperor Gu, but Gu is just the King of the West. Thinking about it, Gu is really unconvinced!""

This made Sun Kewang feel a little unbalanced. In fact, he had already thought about the matter of becoming emperor in terms of luck, but he just didn't find the right opportunity.

The name Daxiguo is too outrageous, as if it can only be king and hegemony in the west, it sounds very unskilled.

Now that Daxi has been driven to the southwest, he doesn't even have to be the hegemon of the west. If Zhang Xianzhong hadn't taken the country name, Sun Kewang would have changed the country name a long time ago.

In fact, Sun Kewang wanted to become emperor very much. He established his own tributary system in Tiannan. Nanzhang and Chenla were both kingdoms. As the suzerain, he was actually just a king of Daxi. It was really against the rules and could not form political oppression , increasing his influence.

Zhang Xianzhong had been proclaimed emperor before, but after his death, as Zhang Xianzhong's successor, Sun Kewang did not inherit the throne, but only called the Western King.

This is mainly due to the fact that Daxi suffered heavy losses at that time and had to deal with the two major forces of Wei and Ming. In short, one needs to rely on one to fight against the other. Either unite Wei to attack Ming, or unite Ming to resist Wei, and cannot offend both parties at the same time. To avoid being pinched.

In this environment, proclaiming the emperor is tantamount to offending both sides, but the situation is different now. After Gao Yihuan proclaims the emperor, Wei Ming is in the same position as fire and water, but Nanming still has something to ask of him. The most important thing is that he is now powerful and Ming Even Wei couldn't deal with him easily, which made Sun Kewang's mind active.

Sun Kewang pondered in his mind, "Gao Yihuan proclaims himself emperor, can the lonely king also proclaim himself emperor and start the Three Kingdoms?"

When Cao Pi abolished Xiandi and established the Cao Wei regime, Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor in Bashu. Soon after, Sun Quan also proclaimed himself emperor, and the final competition began.

The situation at this time is far from that at that time, but if you just use it for comparison, you can still apply it mechanically.

Gao Yihuan is like Cao Wei, Zhu Cihong continues Ming Zuo, claims to be orthodox, like Shu Han, and he just happens to be comparable to Soochow.

In Soochow, the local aristocratic families in Jiangdong are powerful, and the mountains and rivers in the country are in chaos, and his Daxiguo is also facing the local forces in Annan, as well as the problems of the surrounding barbarians.

The more Sun Kewang thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was somewhat similar, "Should Gu be called the emperor, and compete with Gao Yihuan and Zhu Cihong in court and compete for the world?"

"Your Majesty?" Xu Yixian called out.

Sun Kewang was taken aback for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he withdrew his thoughts, "What did you say, sir?"

Xu Yixian frowned slightly and said: "Your Majesty, Gao Yihuan proclaimed himself Emperor Jian, Wei Jun wiped out the Jiannu, and unified the north, with a strong momentum. As expected, he will be like Cao Cao, sending troops south, intending to unify the world. Although Gao Yihuan's goal It's Nanming, but we have to be prepared!"

This piece of land in China is very strange. Since the Qin Emperor swept Liuhe and unified the world, this piece of land has been planted with the gene of great unification.

The regimes born on this land, no matter how big or small, will have the desire to unify the world and achieve great unification, and they will often be able to achieve great unification in the end.

Whether you like it or not, these regimes, large and small, need to fight for reunification, because if you don’t want reunification, but only want to be peaceful, a regime will be born to destroy you, and finally achieve reunification.

Under such circumstances, all regimes are forced to participate in the competition for great unification. During this period, countless regimes have been eliminated, but countless regimes have followed suit. Even if the whole process lasts for hundreds of years, they must fight until the end. There is a unified regime left, and a unified empire will be established.

Sun Kewang sat up straight. He had focused on proclaiming himself emperor just now. After hearing Xu Yixian's words, he realized the seriousness of the problem and began to think about the consequences of Gao Yihuan's proclaiming emperor.

What Xu Yixian said was right. After Gao Yihuan became emperor, his next move was to sweep the world. Nanming was his first goal, and he was the second. With Gao Yihuan's strength, Nanming might not be able to stop Gao Yihuan.

Sun Kewang pondered slightly, "Sir, what do you think Gu should do?"

Xu Yixian said, "I think there are only two roads to war and peace!"

Sun Kewang thought that he had to fight Gao Yihuan to death, and asked with some doubts, "Can I still choose?"

Xu Yixian said: "Your Majesty can of course choose. If Your Majesty is willing to fight, then unite Ming Dynasty against Wei. If Your Majesty chooses to make peace, then we need to start repairing the relationship with Wei."

Sun Kewang frowned slightly, and looked at Xu Yixian with a strange expression, "Looking at the actions of the high-ranking bandit, conquering the Western Regions, restoring the Han border, strangling the Tianshan Mountains, proclaiming the Khan of Heaven, now, as soon as he unifies the north, he is impatient to proclaim himself emperor, which shows that He is very happy and ambitious, even if Gu asks for peace, he probably won't let Gu go!"

Xu Yixian presented an appeal, "Your Majesty, it's a coincidence that this is an appeal from an envoy from the State of Wei, and it has just been sent to the palace."

Sun Kewang hurriedly took it over and took a look at it. It read, "The Ming court was decayed, and the Central Plains were swayed, and the people were hanging upside down. Zhu Cihong couldn't keep captives from outside, and couldn't calm the people from inside. He was not the lord of China. Although I started from a commoner, I followed the sky." As ordered, the army marched eastward, swept Jiannu, and hoped that the north would return. Today, I have millions of soldiers and thousands of generals. I want the king of Yixi to hunt Wuchang, attack the Ming Dynasty together, divide the land together, and form an alliance forever. Wang Xi Wang quickly dispatched troops, raised the people from the south, seized Fujian and Guangdong, went north to Huguang, and sent the people from the north to sweep across the south of the Yangtze River. The rotten Ming Dynasty will be destroyed overnight, don't hesitate, and reply quickly!"

After reading it, Sun Kewang asked calmly, "What do you think, sir?"

Xu Yixian said: "I think it depends on how strong Gao Yihuan is. If Nanming still has the strength to fight against Gao Yihuan with our strength, then I will fight!"

Sun Kewang nodded, "Continue talking!"

"If the Wei army is too strong and Nanming is already vulnerable, even if we make a move, there is still no chance of winning. The minister suggests peace, responding to Gao Yihuan, and sending troops northward to capture Fujian and Guangdong."

Sun Kewang said in a deep voice: "If Nanming dies so quickly, what should Gao Yihuan do if he doesn't keep his word?"

Xu Yixian explained: "Nanming is going to perish anyway, the king sent troops to rob the prefectures and counties to obtain population and resources, and to obtain a buffer. In this way, even if the Wei army does not keep its promise, the king will have the strength to fight. If he can keep the rules, he can use the buffer land, delay time, move the seized population resources to the south, and continue to develop south.”

Sun Kewang's face was gloomy, and he sorted out his thoughts. What Xu Yixian meant was that if Nanming still had the strength to fight, he would help Nanming and unite Ming against Wei to realize the three-legged alliance, and he could also become emperor and participate in the world's competition.

Sun Kewang was inclined towards this plan. Although he was in Tiannan, he always wanted to go back to the Central Plains. But if Nanming was too weak to form a three-legged confrontation, then it would be better to take Zhu Cihong's knife and divide Nanming with Wei Jun first. At that time, the Wei army will turn their backs. If they can fight, they will fight.

Sun Kewang frowned and pondered for a while. He had found the key to the problem, which was how strong Nanming was. He asked, "Is Nanming's envoy still in the palace?"

Xu Yixian replied: "Still waiting in the side hall."

Sun Kewang pondered, now that Gao Yihuan is going south to rule the world, the Daxi Kingdom has 20 soldiers, it depends on how many troops there are in Nanming, and whether there is any morale. There will be a battle of Chibi, and Gao Yihuan will be seriously injured.

If not, then Gao Yihuan will rule the world. Yungui and Guangxi controlled by Daxi Kingdom will be taken away by Wei Jun sooner or later. He can only play with the barbarians in the south and cannot compete with Wei Jun. If he defeats Wei Jun in World War I, then this world will be wonderful , he still has a chance to compete in the world.

Thinking of this, Sun Kewang tidied up his dragon robe, stood up, "Let him come to the hall to see Gu."
