Chapter 50: Divergence

Ao Bai was full of color, and was about to argue with Man Dahai, but Hauge had already spoken, and said: "Ao Bai is a person left by the first emperor, what can not be said during the discussion?" Beizi lost her words. ”

Man Dahai could only say, "Tsk." ”

Hauge said: "It is important to sweep away Sichuan, but it is also important to compete with Xia for Chongqing. It's just that the situation in Chongqing is complicated now, and it is a bit too much to hope that Zeng Ying will return to this dynasty, so let's ask Bei Zi to lead a group of men and horses to pursue south, this Chongqing can go down, and if it can't, it will sweep eastern Sichuan. How about this king go down the city wall first, sweep away the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, and then join up with Beizi? ”

Hauge's calculations are also quite shrewd, and this tricky errand will be done by Man Dahai, anyway, this is what he wants to propose.

Man Dahai couldn't refuse, and said, "Please rest assured, I agreed to this errand." ”

The Qing army agreed that Haoge would lead his troops westward to fight Yang Zhan, and all kinds of battles would not be said. Mandahai, Nikan, and Luo Luohun continued to pursue the remnants of the Great Western Army, but there were a lot of men and horses, and they were not familiar with the roads in central Sichuan, so they did not dare to chase too closely.

In this way, the remnants of the Great Western Army had a chance to breathe.

Sun Kewang and others escaped more than 100 miles away, only to stop, count the people and horses, and carefully calculate, only to find that under the defeat and loss, it was almost miserable, and there were more than 100,000 horses when they left Chengdu, but now there are only about 20,000 horses, and the horse team is only a few thousand.

After the first battle from Xichong, the Great Western Army, which was dominant in Sichuan, has become yesterday's yellow flower, and was blown away by the rain and wind.

The group endured their grief, but the first major event was to bury Zhang Xianzhong.

Now that spring is in full bloom, Zhang Xianzhong's corpse can't march with the army. The group hastily chose a yin house. Hurriedly buried Zhang Xianzhong, after the funeral. Because of Zhang Xianzhong's death, the conflict broke out.

Before Zhang Xianzhong's new grave, the white skin was fluttering, and countless paper money was flying everywhere.

Zhang Yu is still young, I am afraid that such a scene will not be able to withstand it, and he has run wildly all the way, almost taking the child's life, so he and his mother Fan are not here. Before the new tomb, the kneeling people were the backbone generals of the current Great Western Army.

Wang Zhaoling knelt on the ground, only feeling a sharp edge behind him, his hands were stuck into the soil, and his breathing was a little short. Wang Zhaoling was unwilling to sit still. His relationship with Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons has always been bad. After Sun Kewang takes power, how he will deal with him, he himself has a sense of proportion, so he has to make a last stand.

Wang Zhaoling got up suddenly, turned around and said, "The first emperor was unfortunately killed, and now Daxi cannot be left without an owner for a day. In my opinion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should be appointed to the throne. ”

Sun Kewang sneered, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Sun Kewang didn't speak, and the generals below were like wood carvings, looking at their noses and noses, and their hearts were motionless.

Seeing this, Li Dingguo suddenly got up from the ground and shouted: "Wang Zhaoling, you traitorous villain, your father-in-law just listened to your words and killed a lot, causing the people in Sichuan to be uneasy, and they had to leave Chengdu. ”

Wang Zhaoling still wanted to distinguish something, but saw Li Dingguo pull out his knife violently and stab Wang Zhaoling in the chest. Wang Zhaoling's blood spurted out from behind him, dyeing the countless paper coins on the ground red in an instant.

Although Wang Zhaoling cannot be said to be powerless. But when he was face-to-face, Li Dingguo wanted to kill him, and it was really like killing a chicken. Li Dingguo kicked Wang Zhaoling away, Wang Zhaoling fell in front of Zhang Xianzhong's grave, his eyes stared at the sky stunned, and the blood in his mouth spit out, like a fish on the shore.

"Second brother, it's always a little inappropriate to do this in front of your father's spirit." Sun Kewang said lightly.

Li Dingguo said: "Big brother, little brother is reckless. ”

Was Li Dingguo reckless? Not reckless. Not at all, the reason why he did not hesitate to lose his temper was to kill Wang Zhaoling. It's not how deep Wang Zhaoling's contradictions are with him, but for Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu is just a child, and Wang Zhaoling pushed him out to compete with Sun Kewang for power. It's like forcing Zhang Yu to a dead end.

Since Li Dingguo has promised Zhang Xianzhong, he wants to protect his son. He can't go on. If he continues to talk, when Sun Kewang fights back, will he have to come and point to the deer as a horse? At that time, whether Zhang Yu is Zhang Xianzhong's son or not will not be Zhang Yu's final say.

Of course, Zhang Yu can't speak yet.

Sun Kewang said: "You have to let people finish speaking, Mr. Wang said that?" Second brother, what do you think? ”

Sun Kewang said as he stood up. Sun Kewang has always known that within the Great Western Army, there is only one person who can challenge him, and that is Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo said: "My father-in-law told us on his deathbed that the brothers should work together, and the younger brother would naturally obey the orders of the eldest brother. ”

Sun Kewang was slightly disappointed in his heart, he may not have the idea of getting rid of Zhang Yu in his heart, but thinking about it, Zhang Yu is still a child, and there is no threat to him. And even if Sun Kewang doesn't want to touch him. Whether a child can grow up smoothly in this year is still a question.

"Okay." Sun Kewang said: "Our brothers work together, and we can finally lay down a piece of the world." ”

After killing Wang Zhaoling in front of Zhang Xianzhong's grave, the Great Western Army officially transitioned from the era of Zhang Xianzhong to the era of the four generals. Although Sun Kewang's prestige surpassed that of the other three, he did not have an overwhelming advantage, and the four of them discussed it.

It's just that the Qing army chased after it tightly and didn't dare to stay here for a long time.

After burying Zhang Xianzhong in a hurry, he turned around and went south, making a few fences along the way. Some grain and grass were forcibly requisitioned, and even then, there was not enough food in the army. A difficult trek south.

And as soon as they left here, the Qing army's men and horses caught up.

Seeing this new tomb, Man Dahai didn't say a word, he let people dig it up, and after opening the coffin, Li Jinzhong could distinguish it. Li Jinzhong immediately said: "This is Zhang Xianzhong. ”

Man Dahai was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Zhang Xianzhong's head to be cut off and sent to Haoge's army, and Haoge naturally flew to Beijing. Along the way, Lubu reported the victory, so Zhang Xianzhong's death spread to the world.

Seeing that Zhang Xianzhong was dead, Man Dahai pursued the remnants of the Great Western Army with a bit of unscrupulousness.

Sun Kewang four brothers, fought and left, and fled all the way to the Yangtze River. There is almost no way out. The army has already begun to run out of food.

If Zeng Ying had been across the river at this moment, Sun Kewang would have four brothers, and he would only be able to tie his hands and capture them. It's just that Chongqing has also reached a critical juncture. Zeng Ying did not have a single soldier in his hands and was released to the west of Chongqing, and as a result, the Yangtze River was empty.

The four brothers of Sun Kewang were almost desperate and ventured across the Yangtze River. Come to the south bank of the Yangtze River. These places are the boundaries of the large and small Southern Ming warlords. The four brothers crossed the Yangtze River. After trying his best to defeat Jiangjin, he got a lot of supplies on the spot, and it was a Jedi life.

At this moment, Li Dingguo suggested to Sun Kewang: "Big brother, the Xia army is in the east of Chongqing, we are defeated at this time, why not defect to the Xia army, there is a relationship with Uncle Luo, and the one who wants to come to Nanjing will not treat us badly." ”

How can Sun Kewang be willing?

Speaking of which, when Cao was offered to join the camp, Sun Kewang didn't look down on Luo Yulong, but now Luo Yulong has become the master of one party, and Sun Kewang has become a lost dog and a fish that has slipped through the net. He was not so willing.

Sun Kewang was unwilling to be a minister like this, so he said: "Second brother, now is not the time, if we are still as we were at the beginning, with more than 100,000 horses, defecting to the Xia Dynasty, we can't say that we can't be like Gao Jie, and be crowned a king." But now we only have 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, defecting to the Xia Dynasty, are we subordinates? ”

"The various departments of the Ming Army in southern Sichuan, I only care about Yang Zhan, and now Yang Zhan is fighting with Haoge in Chengdu, and he can't come back for a while. I'll wait to sweep the south of Sichuan, and then it's not too late to discuss. ”

Of course, Li Dingguo knew that if Sun Kewang could sweep away southern Sichuan, he would never surrender to the Xia Dynasty. It's just that although Li Dingguo saw Sun Kewang's intentions, he didn't want to ruin the brotherhood between each other because of this incident, so he naturally ignored it.

Just when they were repairing in Jiangjin, the battle of Chongqing also came to the last moment.
