"Captain Shen, did a good job."

Sun Kewang was chased by Shen Jiabao's cavalry and starved for several days. The captain of the personal soldiers also died in the interception process with some loyal personal soldiers. Next, some of the personal soldiers wanted to get rid of Sun Kewang and fled on their own. As a result, they were discovered by the group of personal soldiers who were loyal to Sun Kewang during the process of stealing horses at night. An internal strife broke out between the two sides. Sun Kewang relied on the accumulated threat to scare away the group of betrayers, but the horses that were still somewhat horse-powered were also taken away, so they fell into the hands of the group of cavalrymen Shen Jiabao who arrived later.

After a few days of travel, their cavalry escorted Sun Kewang and finally caught up with Chen Wen's main force. Captured a prince, and such great achievements immediately welcomed the cheers of the robes in the army. Even Chen Wen, who was chatting with Ma Jinzhong, who was covered in dust when he saw Sun Kewang, also praised him very much.

"Your Highness, I am alone, I am willing to compile a letter to Your Highness, and I am willing to compile a letter to your Highness, civil officials and generals from all over the Yunnan and Guizhou areas to persuade them to submit to Your Highness, and I only hope that Your Highness, King Yue, can give you a way out, and I am enough to wish you."

In history, Sun Kewang failed in the internal crimes. When he was betrayed by his relatives, he chose to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and was named King of Yi by the Qing Dynasty. The fifth and last Han throne of the Qing Dynasty. In order to revenge the "betrayal" of Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others, Sun Kewang did his best to write letters to the civil servants and generals of Yunnan and Guizhou, luring those officials promoted by him to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He spared no effort. When Yunnan and Guizhou arrived, Sun Kewang's role was greatly reduced, and the Qing Dynasty assassinated without hesitation. The descendants continued to surrender and attack, and the end of the betrayer.

The Qing Dynasty's approach to Sun Kewang's rule was indeed beneficial. For Chen Wen, it was indeed the most cost-effective way to learn from the Qing Dynasty to put him under house arrest and rely on all the civil servants and generals promoted by Sun Kewang to seize Yunnan and Guizhou, and find a reason to assassinate him. However, he did not want to do that.

"Sun Kewang, do you know where you lost?"

After waving everyone away, Chen Wen said to Sun Kewang who was lying on the ground in the tent, but the latter collapsed to the ground immediately. Chen Wen asked this, but in fact he didn't plan to give him any chance. The word "death" might happen at the next moment, asking him how he could not be afraid.

Sun Kewang was soft on the ground, and Chen Wen did not continue to force him to answer, but instead told this big man who had an absolute influence on history in the Southern Ming Dynasty.

"Because you are short-sighted and impatient, and even with the Tartars, you are so impatient to usurp the throne. Even if you abdicate, you will not have the support of the Ming people in the world, and you will not be able to settle other vassal states, and even the Xiying can't handle it. You are just expelling the Qing Dynasty before the Qing Dynasty."

When the words were finished, contempt was filled with it. In the Southern Ming Dynasty, ethnic conflicts and class contradictions were intertwined, but ethnic conflicts were still greater than class contradictions, or even far greater than class contradictions.

To resolve ethnic conflicts is to destroy the Qing Dynasty, but those who oppress the lower-level people such as gentry and royal palaces must first push down the Ming court, the general backstage, to achieve it. Not to mention other things, it is impossible to resolve the mistakes in the franchise of the royal palace and the system of exemption without completely overturning the ancestral system first.

However, born in later generations, I read the failure of the Southern Ming Dynasty's struggle against Qing Dynasty, and even saw the successful experience of the Anti-Japanese War. In today's situation, who will always know who will be the first to survive. Moreover, in recent years, Chen Wen asked himself the greatest advantage of being rational enough. He knew very well what he wanted. For the highest goal, even if some short-term benefits are tempting, if they are contrary to the highest goal, there is no need to even take a look.

Sun Kewang was detained in a prison car, and Chen Wen's major goal of serving the king this time has a minimum view. What is left is nothing more than how to maximize the benefits that can be seized, especially to further expand the basic market.

The army of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang continued to march towards Guiyang. While the Yuyao Division, as the vanguard unit, rushed to Guiyang, other units even began to collect various prefectures and counties in eastern Guizhou.

At the same time, Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli and other generals who went to Yuanzhou with Sun Kewang, all of them restrained their defeated troops and rushed towards Yunnan. Even the Qin Fan base camp Guiyang did not dare to go again, for fear of being blocked by the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Now only the King of Jin and King of Shu in Yunnan, especially the Yongli court, were their only protective umbrellas.

The in urgent messenger was sent out earlier. In fact, Yongli, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and others were all anxiously waiting for the result. In their opinion, it would be better that Sun Kewang and Chen Wen both suffered losses. This is the best solution. In addition, no matter which side wins a great victory, they will not be able to bear it.

However, as the messenger arrived in Kunming, Sun Kewang was defeated in Yuanzhou. Chen Wen relied on tens of thousands of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming troops to solve his opponents several times more than his own with almost no effort, which really caused a huge shock in the Yongli court.

The Qin vassal army is the core of the Ming army in the southwest. This is the core. Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu still have tens of thousands of troops. Bai Wenxuan's letter also stated that he and Feng Shuangli had restrained tens of thousands of defeated troops, but the establishment was in chaos, and there was almost no weapon, armor, and war horses, and there was no way to talk about the baggage. Even if such an army was ten times more ten times, it would not be an opponent of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Even if Li Dingguo, a famous general, still had no essential difference.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army north and try to persuade the King of Yue to withdraw his troops."

"Persuad? It's not easy to talk about two dear friends!"

As soon as Yongli said that, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu also lamented. Last year, the envoy issued an edict to mediate Guangdong, hoping to exchange Fujian and Chaozhou and Shaozhou prefectures in Guangdong for their dominance over other regions. As a result, they were directly bombarded by Chen Wen, and even Guo Zhiqi and Lian Chengbi were like this.

The old example is still there. Now Chen Wen defeated the 140,000 Qin vassal army in one battle. Even though most of them have not yet fought with the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they are still defeated soldiers. The fear in their hearts will only be even greater. What confidence do they have to tell Chen Wen about this?

"If the two beloved ministers, if Sun Kewang surrendered to Chen Wen, I am afraid that the court will not be able to protect even the Yunnan border."

The civil officials promoted by Sun Kewang and military generals were everywhere in Yunnan and Guizhou. Sun Kewang knew about this. Chen Wen knew about it. Naturally, Yongli had no reason. Even Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu, after Yongli reminded him, immediately turned to the issue of the military strength of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. No one mentioned it. Wang Shangli and Wang Ziqi in Kunming City were both confidants of Sun Kewang, and He Jiuyi, who was sent to Nanning Prefecture, Guangxi, was the same.

"Then I will lead the troops north, and the Shufan will personally take charge in Yunnan to protect His Majesty's safety and deter the two kings."

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu looked at each other and came to an end that such a division of labor was also the best solution at the moment. After all, if even Li Dingguo could not succeed, pointing at Liu Wenxiu would be even more terrifying.

The situation was urgent, and it did not weaken the slightest due to Sun Kewang's crushing defeat. Instead, it became more and more serious. Seeing this, Li Dingguo had to stabilize Kunming and head northward. He first had to take over the two Qin vassal leaders, Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli. He had more troops, even if they were all weak, he could have more say.

Kunming, Yunnan, is now only a small Qujing Prefecture between the temporary capital of the Yongli Dynasty and the southwestern part of Guizhou. Previously, Li Dingguo was preparing to fight Sun Kewang there because it could be called the gateway of Kunming facing Guizhou. Now Chen Wen is coming with such a great momentum, but Guizhou is not the old occupied area of ​​the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Seeing this, Li Dingguo led a large army into Guizhou to better complete the dialogue and the response of Feng Shuangli and the others.

The army was dispatched, and the vanguard cavalry stepped into the territory of Guizhou one earlier. The prefecture of Guiyang Prefecture is located in the central part of Guizhou. When Li Dingguo crossed Pu'an Prefecture, Annanwei and Yongning Prefecture one after another, he entered the territory of Zhenning Prefecture, and completed the convergence with Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli, he also received another news.

"Your Highness King Jin, King Yue has captured Guiyang Prefecture City, and it will probably not take long for the army to come."

Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli fled southwest. The tens of thousands of defeated soldiers who had just been defeated ran away 60% to 70% on the road. Now, the two of them have only more than 10,000 soldiers left. If they had not been carrying a lot of military auxiliary soldiers along the way, they would probably not have been able to bring so many troops to join Li Dingguo.

At this moment, Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli came and were willing to join the Yongli court. Even the battle in Yuanzhou had a great impact on them. So when Chen Wen was mentioned here, Feng Shuangli's volume was deliberately lowered, as if he was afraid that he would attract Chen Wen if he was a little louder.

When the two generals were like this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but frown, and immediately asked the two about the battle in Yuanzhou: "Our vassal heard the defeated soldiers on the road saying that the King of Yue knew the magic. What was going on?"

The story of demonic magic was spread in Guizhou. The King of Yue sprinkled beans under the banner and formed soldiers. Hundreds of thousands of troops surrounded them in an instant. The battle elephant rushed into the formation and was swallowed by a wave of air. There was no bone left. The Luo Luo broke into the crowd, and the sword was cut on the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. There were also the personal soldiers of the King of Yue’s palace that cut into the air and turned into thunder and made lightning. In short, it was our army that did not work hard, but the King of Yue knew demonic magic.

Hearing this question, Bai Wenxuan and Feng Shuangli looked at each other, and then Bai Wenxuan replied: "Most of those are rumors. The King of Yue is indeed only tens of thousands of troops. He used formations to break the war elephant and Luo Luo. The combat effectiveness of our army and its troops was also far from their battles, and they were not unfair to defeat them. Even the explosion sound when the army collapsed might be a thunder. I was neither close to me, and I couldn't see clearly, and I dared not make arbitrarily. "

"I see."

This answer could be regarded as a way to relieve some of Li Dingguo's confusion. However, at this moment, he did not let go of it, but his brows became more and more tight.

In fact, Li Dingguo also did not believe in the so-called demonic technique. Even so, there is no way to crack the Yangmen Formation and Yinmen Formation. The same principle of demonic technique is, such as feces, black dog blood, and women's menstrual blood. There is always one that is right. However, after hearing Bai Wenxuan's explanation this time, he confirmed that he lost in hard power. The army under his command also had the same tactics. If the war really started, there would be no chance of victory.

"The ugly daughter-in-law is also inevitably going to meet her parents-in-law. If she doesn't meet this Prince Yue in person, I don't know how to deal with it."

Rong's army repaired for several days and redistributed the weapons and equipment brought from Kunming's inventory. Li Dingguo sent someone to send a letter to Guiyang, asking Chen Wen to meet in Pingbawei area.

The letter was written very humbly, just like when he wrote Zheng Chenggong to invite him to attack Guangdong. However, he was not very clear about what the situation would be like in the end, and even the predictions were basically pessimistic.

A few days later, the messenger returned quickly and brought back Chen Wen's reply. The words used in the reply were not as arrogant as after the victory. He also called him the King of Jin, and expressed appropriate relationship with Yongli's physical condition. He also mentioned that he also brought the courtesy offerings offered to the royal family in several provinces in Jiangsu and Zhejiang this year, hoping that Li Dingguo would forward it on his behalf after the talks.

After reading this letter, Li Dingguo couldn't help but feel relieved, but there was still a hidden worry - after all, people's hearts were separated from their stomachs, and he didn't know where Chen Wen's intention was. However, with this letter, he could calm down, so he sent a messenger back to Kunming to report the message to Yongli, and at the same time, he asked the army to stay in the local area, and only brought elite cavalry to Pingba Guard.

Pingbawei was the Pingba District of Anshun City in later generations, and was only less than a hundred miles away from Guiyang. However, at this time, Jinfeng Lake had not yet been formed. Pingbawei and Weiqingwei, near Jinfeng Lake, were both garrisons under Guizhou Dusi. The former even meant "the land is more flat and broad", with five thousand households under it.

Chen Wen and Li Dingguo agreed to meet here with no more than a thousand cavalry, in order to prevent the army from approaching, and if there is any misunderstanding, it will lead to a bigger tragedy. Li Dingguo arrived as promised, and the acropolis had been occupied by Chen Wen. When the gate of the acropolis opened, Chen Wen also led the cavalry out of the acropolis with a brigade of cavalry out of the acropolis.

"King of Yue."

In a small pavilion for people to rest outside the Acropolis, Chen Wen and Li Dingguo stood opposite each other. According to the ancient custom of titles, Jin was a big country, and it could not reach a small country like Chen, Cai, Jing, and Shu, but it was just a medium-sized one and far from comparable to Jin. However, nowadays, the situation is stronger than people, so who can care about this? Especially Chen Wen even captured the King of Qin, who was the first to title. After a captured Qin vassal officer introduced it on his behalf, Li Dingguo was the first to bow to Chen Wen.

"Look, what I said, King Jin is just too polite."

With a smile, Chen Wen shook his head, and then said to Li Dingguo: "If Brother Li looks down on me, Chen Wen, a word of Fu Ren is enough. This is the name between me and Da Mu. Brother Li and Da Munai are in-laws. Do you think of me?"

"Don't dare."

Chen Wen's attitude was too enthusiastic, and he was so enthusiastic that Li Dingguo was not able to adapt. However, since Chen Wen was like this, Li Dingguo was just going to do anything, bringing each other closer together and laying a better foundation for the next consultation.

After sitting down on both sides, Chen Wenhui withdrew the Qin Fan officer and the guard beside him. Li Dingguo was the same. After a few greetings, Li Dingguo took out the remarks he had prepared in Kunming before.
