Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty when the emperor

Chapter 639

The Qiqi Ridge on the top of Phoenix Mountain is the imperial camp of the Western Army. Zhang Xianzhong has stationed 20 soldiers and horses here for half a month.

Since the Great Western Emperor fought with Zhu Yousong, he has suffered consecutive defeats, and now he plans to fortify the wall and clear the field here. Zhu Yousong's men and horses have come from afar, and when his food and grass are exhausted, he must retreat, and then they will chase after him with three armies , can break the Ming army, and wash away the humiliation of the battle of Meadow Lake and Kuizhou.

The Ming army scolded and fought at the foot of the mountain several times, but Zhang Xianzhong passed on the decree and refused to fight.Duke Qian Mu Tianbo couldn't help asking for orders to go down the mountain to fight, but Funan King Liu Wenxiu refused. One of the two princes is good at using meteor hammers, and the other is good at water combat. Zhu Yousong was scared, that's why he just stayed on the mountain for a while, how can this be like the Eight Great Kings they are in the battlefield?

Who was their Majesty Zhang Xianzhong afraid of?The millions of soldiers of Emperor Chongzhen have nothing to do with him. Zuo Liangyu, who is so powerful, has 80 soldiers, and he has to retreat when he meets Zhang Xianzhong. Going out to fight, hiding in the mountains and being a turtle, willing to be scolded by others, is really annoying.

The two kings clashed, one wanted to find a place for the new master, and the other wanted to protect his old father's face, so the two kings volunteered to go down the mountain together to teach the Ming army a lesson, and issued a military order to Zhang Xianzhong. Overwhelmed, he was willing to raise his head to see him. Zhang Xianzhong shook his head and comforted the two kings with kind words.

Said that there is no need to expend such effort at all, let them be arrogant first, wait for Anxi King Li Dingguo's troops to arrive, cut off the return route of the Ming army, and then Phoenix Mountain's troops and Ping Dongwang's troops from the capital can be broken by three-way attack Zhu Yousong, the two kings had no choice but to endure.

A few days later, the Ming army stopped scolding and fighting, and the two sides on the mountain and down the mountain were just so exhausted, coexisting peacefully, like neighbors.

On this day, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly received a report secretly sent by Li Dingguo from Wanxian. When he unfolded it, Zhang Xianzhong was first surprised, then overjoyed.

What was surprising was that when Zhu Yousong had left the Ming army camp at the foot of the mountain, he didn't know anything, and now he was fighting Li Dingguo in Wanxian, 400 miles away.

Mu Tianbo, Lord of Qian State, and Liu Wenxiu, King of Funan, guessed rightly. Now the Emperor of Daxi, Zhang Xianzhong, is most afraid of Zhu Yousong, Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

To his delight, Li Dingguo said in the memorial that he had used his tactics to hold Zhu Yousong back in the Wanxian area, and he had told Sun Kewang, the king of Pingdong in the capital, to let Fenghuang Mountain and the capital jointly send troops to take down the Ming army who fell down the mountain in one fell swoop. Then sent troops Dongjin and Li Dingguo to attack Zhu Yousong together.

Li Dingguo is one of Zhang Xianzhong's most valued godsons.Among his four godsons, if you want to rank them, the first is undoubtedly Sun Kewang, and the second is Li Dingguo.

Now that he is stationed in Phoenix Mountain, he is mainly waiting for Li Dingguo.Now Li Dingguo really lived up to expectations, not only arrived as scheduled, but also brought him such a good strategic opportunity, Zhang Xianzhong felt as if he had found a treasure, and immediately drafted an order.

On the same day, after Zhang Xianzhong drew up the imperial decree, he sent someone to send it to the capital at an expedited speed of 500 miles.

Of course, this decree was given to his godson Sun Kewang. Although Li Dingguo had written the decree before, it was far from the efficiency of his imperial decree.

Zhang Xianzhong ordered Sun Kewang to rush to the southern foot of Fenghuang Mountain within five days. On the seventh day, they would send troops from both sides to destroy the Ming army's camp in one fell swoop, and then join forces and march eastward.

Phoenix Mountain is about 240 miles away from the capital, and Zhang Xianzhong has already calculated the time for him, including the time when the angel officer delivered the imperial edict.

After the angel officer left with Zhang Xianzhong's will, he immediately held a military meeting in front of the imperial court. Prime Minister Zuo Yan Xi ordered civil servants and military generals, including Funan King Liu Wenxiu, Qian Guogong Mu Tianbo, and Chinese Army Chief Wang Shangli to attend the meeting.

Zhang Xianzhong first read Li Dingguo's memorial, then he also talked about the transfer of Sun Kewang, and finally divided the troops and sent generals.

The generals can't hold back these days, especially Mu Tianbo and Liu Wenxiu, when they heard that they were about to go down the mountain to fight, they all geared up and were excited.

After Zhang Xianzhong divided his troops and dispatched generals, they all went down to prepare for the battle with high spirits and high spirits...

Daxi Jingshi, Chengdu.

Sun Kewang was sitting in the Golden Luan Hall, and Yan Ran was the emperor on the 2nd, more precisely, he was now the interim emperor of Daxi, Zhang Xianzhong was not in the capital, and he was in charge of government affairs.

Sun Kewang is undoubtedly the well-deserved second Zhang Xianzhong in terms of his contribution to Daxi.

But he doesn't dare to sit on that chair now, even though he knows that one day, sooner or later, that chair will be his, but another chair was placed next to Zhang Xianzhong's chair.

Next to his chair is the dragon chair of his father, Huang Zhang Xianzhong.

Ever since Daxi King Zhang Xianzhong went on his own expedition, the capital of Daxi has been dominated by Sun Kewang. Sun Kewang feels that this kind of life is very good. He even has a faint extravagant hope in his heart. His father has been fighting outside and will never come back. How nice.

Especially now in the capital, he firmly controls the right prime minister Wang Zhaolin and the original imperial concubine Tao Guifei in his hands. They have now formed a three-person buddy, of course, headed by Sun Kewang of His Royal Highness Prince Gan.

Now he really doesn't want to be named Zhang anymore, but wants to change his original name back to Sun.

Zhang Xianzhong continued his personal expeditions. In the past few months, from the defeat of Caodian Lake to the defeat of Kuizhou, and now he has stationed a large number of troops in Phoenix Mountain, Sun Kewang's role as acting emperor for these few months is simply too comfortable.

On the days of great dynasties, Sun Kewang would sit in the golden hall and accept the worship of civil and military officials. Although he dared not let civil and military officials shout long live, the form was almost grand enough.

Apart from enjoying the honor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the upper court and having power in the court and the public, he was singing and dancing in the palace, and he didn't care much about his godfather's victory or defeat in the battle outside.

On this day, he suddenly received an imperial edict from his father, asking him to rush to the southern foot of Phoenix Mountain with heavy troops, and together with his father, destroy the Ming army camp at the foot of Phoenix Mountain in one fell swoop, and then join forces and send troops eastward to fight with him. Li Dingguo, together encircled and wiped out Zhu Yousong.

Sun Kewang did not dare to be negligent, and immediately called for Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin. After the discussion, Sun Kewang ordered 4 troops and left [-] to garrison the capital. After he left, Prime Minister Wang Zhaolin was entrusted with full responsibility for the capital affairs.

Two days later, Sun Kewang gathered his troops and horses and set off. The 6 troops left the capital and headed for Phoenix Mountain in mighty strength.

There had been spies from the Ming army for a long time. After inquiring about the situation, Pegasus ran into the mountains a hundred miles southeast of the capital and played it to Zhu Yousong.

What Zhu Yousong is waiting for now is this opportunity, and things are proceeding according to his expectations, Zhu Yousong is happy in his heart, it's all right, the Daxi capital should return to Daming.
