Although Sun Kewang reached a verbal agreement with He Tengjiao, and he also received some support from the Ming army, he knew that the support He Tengjiao gave was only for him to fight with the Jin army, not that the two sides had already determined the alliance, and the ordnance He Tengjiao gave him was just inferior goods.

Sun Kewang knew that this relationship was extremely unreliable, so he sent Bai Wenxuan to Nanjing, and he must reach a written peace agreement with the Ming Dynasty so that he could feel at ease, so he did not hesitate to promise the condition of calling the minister Nagonggan a vassal.

It's just that Bai Wenxuan went to Nanjing, and the negotiations were still ongoing, but the Ming Dynasty frequently increased troops to the southwest and actively prepared for war, which made him uneasy.

Sun Kewang was very suspicious, not a person who sat still, so after Haoge withdrew to Jiading Prefecture, he did not approach Jiading Prefecture, but temporarily truce, and quickly informed Yunnan Ai Nengqi to be optimistic about Yunnan, at the same time he was fully prepared for war in Luzhou City, without artillery, so he asked craftsmen to make trebuchets and stone cannons day and night, and recruited tens of thousands of soldiers and young men to gather together to train to defend the city.

Early in the morning, Sun Kewang took dozens of generals to inspect the recruitment points in the city, and when he saw that there were many young and strong recruits, he said to everyone: "If you can have three years to recuperate, this king can train 200,000 troops to come out!" It's a pity that there are many crises now, and the attitude of the Ming Dynasty is not clear, and the king does not have enough time to continuously increase troops to the border. Now you all have to be vigilant and cheer up, if the Ming Dynasty really turns its face and does not recognize people, then the only key to our victory is training and training. ”

Many generals nodded one after another, and Sun Kewang said again: "Wang Fuchen, your men and horses should shrink back, don't enter the area controlled by Haoge, and wait for Bai Wenxuan to bring back the news, and then make a decision." ”

After speaking, Sun Kewang spit out a breath of turbidity, more than three months have passed, and there should be news from Nanjing, could it be that the Ming Dynasty really wants to use negotiations to make him relax his vigilance, and then take the opportunity to prepare for war and attack suddenly.

Thinking of this, Sun Kewang's face couldn't help but sink, and at this moment, a general hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and saluted: "King, General Bai is back with the envoys of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"Where are the people? Bring it to me! ”

The envoy of the Ming Dynasty also came, and Sun Kewang was immediately overjoyed.

"Just entered town! The last will bring them in! ”

"Slow, bring Bai Wenxuan here, and the messenger will find a place to settle down first."

The general left quickly, and not long after, a man who was in the dust rode over, it was Bai Wenxuan, he turned over and dismounted and gave Sun Kewang a salute, Sun Kewang was overjoyed to help him up, and asked urgently: "Wenxuan, what do you say over there in Nanjing?" ”

Bai Wenxuan looked left and right, they were all old men of the Western Army, so he took out a letter from his chest and handed it to Sun Kewang, "King, the previous conditions were rejected by the Ming Dynasty, and these are the conditions proposed by Wang Yan, which are all in the letter." ”

Sun Kewang couldn't help frowning, took the letter, and saw that it was written, Prince Yan of Ming Chu to General Sun!

This made Sun Kewang have a bad premonition, but he still opened the letter quickly, and his eyes moved up and down to read the letter.

The general next to him saw that Sun Kewang's face was getting heavier and heavier, and finally suddenly crumpled the letter into a ball, and said angrily: "Wang Yan persuaded this king to surrender, dismiss and deploy, and allow me to serve as the right governor of the former military capital and the right capital of the palace, and seal the Duke of Anguo." Hmph, he wants to get beauty, thinking that this king will ignore the deployment, and only think about his glory and wealth, like a three-year-old child, will he give in if he gives a little sweetness!. ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately became angry, but Bai Wenxuan looked at Sun Kewang in a daze, because he did not tell the truth to the generals, the Ming Dynasty did not want to dismiss the Western Army, but to reorganize it.

Someone was indignant and said: "The king sits on a land of thousands of miles, with 100,000 soldiers, but he Wang Yan doesn't even give a county king, and wants to disband the Western Army and put the king under house arrest in Nanjing, I don't think there is any sincerity at all!" ”

"Not bad! While the Ming Dynasty was actively preparing for war, it gave us unacceptable conditions, and I think they have long harbored evil intentions and want to calculate us! ”

Bai Wenxuan knew that Sun Kewang was extremely ambitious and would not easily accept the conditions of the Ming Dynasty, but if the Ming and Jin were united, it would be a dead end if he did not accept it.

Bai Wenxuan saw the righteous indignation of everyone, and his heart immediately became anxious, but he did not break Sun Kewang's words, but said: "King, when the minister arrived in Nanjing, the envoy of the Jin State was also in Nanjing, and the minister heard that Haoge was going to unite with the Ming Dynasty to carve up us, and it was precisely because of this that the Ming Dynasty had the confidence to offer such conditions. ”

After he said this, the generals who were still indignant just now quieted down, and Sun Kewang's face immediately changed.

He wants to be the king of the West, divide the southwest, and then wait for the world to change greatly, and compete for hegemony in the world, Wang Yan opened the title of a duke, and wanted to deceive him to Nanjing, which is simply wishful thinking, but if what Bai Wenxuan said is true, then this condition is not bad, because with his strength, the Ming Dynasty side can't bear it, let alone the joint attack of the Ming and Jin armies.

Sun Kewang's expression was solemn, "Is this true?" ”

"The envoy of the Jin State is Han Chaoxuan, the secretary of the military department and a scholar of Haoge, it is impossible for him to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to act for the minister, and the minister can guarantee that it is true, because the minister was behind the screen at that time."

The surrounding generals exclaimed, Sun Kewang's heart trembled, and he unfolded the crumpled letter again, and looked down again, he finally created a foundation, and he was really unwilling to accept such conditions.

Sun Kewang was silent for a while, and the people around him didn't dare to make a sound, and suddenly Sun Kewang's eyes were cold, and he looked at Bai Wenxuan, "Wenxuan, did you overhear this news, or did the Ming Dynasty deliberately let you hear it?" ”

Bai Wenxuan was stunned for a moment, "It was Wang Yan who arranged for the ministers to listen behind the screen, but the words were pronounced by Han Chaoxuan, which is absolutely true, which at least shows that Jin Guo means this." ”

"Jin has this meaning, without indicating that the dynasty has this meaning, I don't think Wang Yan has the intention of making peace with Jin Guo, he wants to use Jin Guo to intimidate this king, and force this king to surrender After dealing with Jin Guo!"

Sun Kewang said hatefully: "Wang Yan wants to surrender this king when he makes such a condition, and this king might as well surrender Haoge!" ”

His words stunned the people around him, Haoge was the great enemy of the Western Army, and Zhang Xianzhong died at the hands of Haoge, how could the Western Army surrender Haoge, and everyone was blown up immediately.

Seeing this, Sun Kewang knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly said: "This is the angry words of this king, you have been with this king for many years, and you have created this foundation together, how can this king give it to others." ”

He said this, everyone quieted down, the Western Army is not like the Ming Dynasty, the Jin State, and the powerful central government, they still maintain the characteristics of the peasant army alliance, the generals of each department control the subordinate subordinates, and Sun Kewang cannot be arbitrary.

"Then what to do now, accept the conditions of the Ming Dynasty?" The generals were silent for a while, and Wang Fuchen broke the silence.

Sun Kewang already had an idea in his heart, so he waited for someone to ask, "Such conditions are naturally unacceptable, this king will not surrender like the Jin State, but if you want to deal with the Ming Dynasty, you must pull the Jin State in." ”

He said and looked at everyone, but no one objected, so he continued: "Wang Fuchen, you send someone to see Haoge, it means that the court wants to recruit this king first, and then deal with Jin Guo, test Haoge's reaction, you bring this letter, Jin Guo doesn't want to divide the king with the Ming Dynasty, this king wants to see what Haoge will think after reading this letter!" ”

After he finished speaking, he handed the letter to Wang Fuchen, and the surrounding generals couldn't help but light up, only Bai Wenxuan was worried, he felt that even if he joined forces with Haoge, they had no hope, "King, what about the envoys of the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Sun Kewang's eyes narrowed, "Hold them back, just say that this king is dissatisfied with the conditions, and I hope that the Ming Dynasty can give a prince!" ”
