In the disputes of the four kingdoms in the world, Sun Kewang's power is the smallest, and the weak countries are surviving in the eyes of the strong countries, and when facing the big countries, they can only implement big policies, or they are in Qi Chu, provoking any strong party, which is undoubtedly an act of seeking death.

This kind of diplomatic strategy was particularly active in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and allowed many small countries to survive for decades, even centuries.

But having said that, the implementation of the above strategy is actually just a continuation of life, which is tantamount to completely putting one's life in the hands of a great power.

This is obviously not the national policy that Sun Kewang wants to adopt, how can his ambition be content with being the head of a small country?

After Sun Kewang integrated Yunnan, he began to encroach on the land of the Ming Dynasty, and it can be seen that he was not waiting to die.

The threat in Zhang Xianzhen's words did pinch Sun Kewang's seven inches, and the Western Army was indeed afraid that the Ming Army would send the main force over, but it was obviously impossible to withdraw the troops because they were afraid.

If he retreats today because of a few threats, will he sacrifice his land when the Ming army comes to Yunnan in the future?

Sun Kewang is a politically wise person, he knows that he can't completely anger the Ming Dynasty, and he wants to avoid the Ming Dynasty from going all out to deal with him, but it is obviously impossible for him to take nothing and just withdraw from the army.

The Western Army is now able to threaten Guizhou, and can cooperate with the Jin Army to attack the Ming Army on both sides, this is his capital and bargaining chips, if he wants to take a step back, the Ming Dynasty has to exchange things.

Even if he can't get Guizhou this time, Sun Kewang will have to take the west of Guizhou, as well as several state capitals on the border between Guangxi and Yunnan.

His strategy of developing strength without completely angering the Ming Dynasty can be said to be no different from walking a tightrope and playing with fire.

Sun Kewang's gloomy face changed for a while, and after half a sound, he suddenly said with a smile: "Zhang Tongzhi is eloquent, but with just a few words, he wants me to withdraw from the army, do you look down on my Great Western Army too much?" ”

Zhang Xianzhen naturally knew that it was impossible to scare Sun Kewang away, and if he could be frightened by intimidation, Sun Kewang would not rebel.

The purpose of his threatening words was to let Sun Kewang know the consequences of completely offending the Ming Dynasty, let him weigh it, and then negotiate it.

Zhang Xianzhen listened to the change in his name to himself, listened to Sun Kewang's words, and knew that he could negotiate.

General Sun laughed, with a few words, it was naturally impossible for General Sun to withdraw from the army. In the following words, it is just to let General Sun see the pros and cons clearly, and then consider it! Zhang Xianzhen smiled with his hand.

"Could it be that there is a problem with the lonely ear, why did I only hear Zhang Tongzhi's threat from beginning to end, but did not see the pros and cons?" Sun Kewang said strangely.

Sun Kewang said this, he deliberately wanted to talk, and after hearing this, the generals of the Western Army below immediately became anxious, this has killed a lot of people, and he is about to defeat Annanwei, how can he give up halfway?

"It's probably not clear what to say below."

At this time, Zhang Xianzhen would not fight with him anymore, and took the initiative to soften a little, so that Sun Kewang would have a better time in front of his subordinates.

"He said before that Commander Li asked him to persuade General Sun to withdraw his troops, and it was indeed for General Sun's consideration." Zhang Xianzhen clasped his fists and said: "The first is that the 20,000 elite soldiers of Inspector He are still in Guiyang, and the Tusi from all over Guizhou are transferring troops to Annanwei, and your army may not be able to occupy Guizhou." The second is to annoy the Ming Dynasty and provoke an attack by a large army, which is not beneficial to your army. The third is that the king of Daxi was killed at the hands of Haoge, and General Sun's cooperation with the enemy will inevitably cause the old people of your army to be centrifuged and cause instability in the army's morale. ”

He Tengjiao's 20,000 old goods have not yet entered Sichuan, which makes the generals of the Western Army in the account a little shocked, they are watching He Tengjiao transfer 20,000 into Sichuan to support Sichuan, before entering Guizhou, the picture is that Guizhou is empty, why haven't 20,000 people left yet?

What's going on with this Granny Ho? Everyone in the tent was a little surprised.

Zhang Xianzhen said a few things are the truth, these shortcomings Sun Kewang is naturally clear, he heard that the 20,000 people transferred by He Tengjiao are still in Guizhou, he couldn't help frowning, but then he was happy.

If he wants to attack Guizhou, 20,000 Ming troops are in Guiyang, which has added to his ability to attack Guizhou, which is not a happy thing, but if he uses attacking Guizhou as a bargaining chip, 20,000 people in Guizhou may be a good thing for him.

He Tengjiao's 20,000 yuan has not yet entered Sichuan, most of it is because of his attack on Guizhou, and now Sichuan must wait for reinforcements to wait for urgency before sending Zhang Xianzhen over, so whether he withdraws the troops or not has a bargaining chip, it is a point heavier.

"Zhang Tongzhi has been talking about disadvantages for a long time, what are the advantages?" Sun Kewang suddenly smiled, "It seems that I still have to mention it myself!" If you want me to withdraw from the army, Pu'an Prefecture, Annanwei, Zhenning Prefecture, and Anshun Prefecture in Guizhou, Sicheng Mansion, Si'en Mansion, Zhen'an Prefecture, Taiping Prefecture in Guangxi, and Qinzhou in Guangdong will all have to be managed by Lone! ”

Zhang Xianzhen mentioned He Tengjiao to make Sun Kewang realize that it was not easy for the Western Army to fight Guizhou, but he didn't expect Sun Kewang to think about it differently, that is, Sichuan was in urgent need of reinforcements, if he didn't retreat, Granny He would not dare to send troops into Sichuan, and he would be able to blackmail the Ming army to the greatest extent.

This time, the Western Army was originally taking advantage of the fire to rob, and if the Ming Army could give him enough conditions, he would not be unable to retreat.

Sun Kewang wanted a place, almost a province, and he also wanted Qinzhou, so that he actually had an outlet to the sea from the inland.

The negotiation is to sit on the ground and pay back the money on the spot, but Sun Kewang is too big to open his mouth a little, and in this way, the threat of the Western Army to Guiyang and Guangdong has not only not decreased, but has greatly increased, and He Tengjiao's people dare not move.

Fang is Zhang Xianzhen who threatened Sun Kewang, and now it is Sun Kewang who blackmails the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Xianzhen's face sank when he heard this, "General Sun thinks that the next Tongzhi can decide such a condition?" ”

"If Zhang Tongzhi can't decide, Lone can wait for the Ming Dynasty to send someone to talk!" Sun Kewang said with a smile.

Sending someone to talk, Sichuan can't afford to wait, Zhang Xianzhen saw Sun Kewang with a strange smile on his face, and suddenly reacted.

In an instant, Zhang Xian's heart sank, his face turned white, Sun Kewang saw this, and couldn't help but smile at the corner of his mouth, but who knew that Zhang Xianzhen suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "General Sun, if this matter drags on, we will not talk about grudges, and both sides will be unprofitable, and it will only make Haoge profitable." In the lower authority is limited, you can't make a decision under other conditions, so you simply say the plan agreed to by Governor Fan, and we will let out southern Sichuan and western Sichuan, and in exchange, General Sun must withdraw from Guizhou. ”

Sun Kewang didn't expect that Zhang Xianzhen actually showed all the hole cards at once, which caught him a little off guard, and when he heard Zhang Xianzhen's conditions, the word "broken tail survival" suddenly appeared in his mind.

When Qin attacked South Korea, South Korea was defeated, and the Korean Shangdang County Guard dedicated the Shangdang that Qin wanted to get to Zhao State, causing Zhao State to intervene in the war, thus triggering the Battle of Changping.

Previously, Wang Yan ceded Hanzhong to Zhang Xianzhong, which led to the Hanzhong War between the Western Army and the Qing Army, which is basically the same idea as now ceding southern and western Sichuan.

For a moment, the smile on Sun Kewang's face disappeared, and his brows immediately furrowed.
