Fortunately, Sun Kewang was not an easy person, and he had made preparations long before retreating, leaving the elite behind.

Huang Degong and Sun Kewang fought for a while, but they didn't take much advantage, so they could only follow behind Sun Kewang's army and pursue all the way from Wuchang Mansion to Jiujiang.

Sun Kewang ran from Wuchang Mansion to Jiujiang in one breath, and finally joined Liu Wenxiu, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, the troops on both sides were combined, there were more than 100,000 people, even if most of the troops were made up temporarily, this was scary enough, Sun Chuanting and others wanted to defeat Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu in one go, it was not so easy.

"Brother Sun, the emperor, the emperor, he has really ascended to heaven......"

Seeing Sun Kewang for the first time, Liu Wenxiu's tears had already fallen, among Zhang Xianzhong's four righteous sons, the most favored was far from Liu Wenxiu, but Liu Wenxiu was loyal and brave, but he was not like Sun Kewang so many flowery intestines, Zhang Xianzhong's soldiers were defeated and died, and his head was rumored to be on the nine sides, so he was naturally grief-stricken.

"Wenxiu!"

Sun Kewang stretched out his big hand and slapped Liu Wenxiu's shoulder heavily, and said in a deep voice: "The emperor has returned to heaven, I am naturally very sad, but now is not the time for us to grieve, there are still strong enemies around us, hundreds of thousands of brothers, still waiting for us to bring back to Sichuan, if the two of us are in chaos first, it will be difficult for the hundreds of thousands of brothers of the Great Western Army to return to Sichuan alive......"

"Back to Sichuan?"

Liu Wenxiu looked stunned and asked, "Brother Sun, you said we were going back to Sichuan?" Shall we leave it at that? Aren't we going to avenge the emperor? ”

Sun Kewang smiled bitterly: "Revenge? Of course, we have to avenge the emperor, but do we still have the capital to defeat Sun Chuanting and besiege Nanjing? The emperor's entire army was annihilated, the soldiers were defeated and died, and the rest of these horses were panicked and confused? How can we take revenge? Now if I fight to the death with Sun Chuanting, I'm afraid that the last bit of vitality of this great western country will not be able to be saved......"

Liu Wenxiu hurriedly said: "But, big brother, we have more than 100,000 troops, I have 80,000 troops, and you still have 50,000 troops, together, 130,000 troops, may not have the strength to fight with Sun Chuanting!" Returning to Sichuan like this, how can our brothers still have the face to see people? ”

"Wenxiu, the overall situation is important!"

Sun Kewang shouted, "Why don't I want to take revenge? However, we are really not the opponent of the imperial court now, Sun Chuanting is already cunning and cunning, and Gao Jie and Huang Degong are brave and good generals, and the elite combat power under their command is not bad, how can we make other people's opponents? Once defeated, the entire army of more than 100,000 brothers will be wiped out, and even the rivers and mountains of the Great Western Kingdom will be finished! Can you bear to watch the country that our father-in-law led us down to collapse like this? ”

Liu Wenxiu's expression froze, and he muttered speechless, he naturally knew how powerful Sun Chuanting was, Zuo Liangyu was not an easy person, an army of 100,000 people, in just one or two days, was defeated by Sun Chuanting, even if he and Sun Kewang were stronger than Zuo Liangyu, it was very limited, not to mention, now Sun Chuanting still has Huang Degong to help?

Without the emperor in charge, the three armies have no master, and the army is unstable, there is really no chance of winning a decisive battle with Sun Chuanting at this time.

"Hey!"

Liu Wenxiu shook his fist fiercely, hateful.

The two of them entered Shuai Zhang and sat down.

Liu Wenxiu was silent for a moment, and then asked: "Big brother, you know, I like to use my fists to solve problems, use my brain, you are better than me, next, what should we do?" I am really unwilling to withdraw to Sichuan like this......"

"What if you are unwilling?"

Sun Kewang smiled bitterly: "Brother, I won't tell you, now that my father-in-law is dead, there are only you, me and Ai Nengqi left, Li Dingguo has already defected to the imperial court on that dog's day, if the three of us can't work together, then even if we return to Sichuan, it will be difficult to gain a firm foothold, and sooner or later we will be cleaned up by the imperial court, the most important thing now is to protect the 130,000 army to safely evacuate Jiujiang, evacuate Huguang, return all the way to Sichuan, and then regroup in Sichuan, ready to make a comeback, brother, brother asks you a word, You have to answer me sincerely! ”

Liu Wenxiu nodded.

"Do you want to be the lord of the Great Western Kingdom?"

Liu Wenxiu smiled bitterly: "Big brother, are you there for me to laugh at you?" I'm charging into battle, it's okay to conquer the city, no worse than any of you, but let me ascend to that position and dominate the world, where do I have that ability? Or let me feel at ease to be a grass king, unrestrained, at ease, look at my father-in-law, since I ascended the throne, how many days have I had a good life? ”

Sun Kewang said in a deep voice: "Brother, what you said is true? ”

"Naturally!"

Su Kewang's heart is a little more steady, Liu Wenxiu is straightforward, he has never lied, he should still be very reliable, since he doesn't want to sit on the lord of the Great West Country, then he has the opportunity to let him support himself.

"But, brother, the country can't be left without an owner for a day, the emperor has no heirs, and the emperor's position in the future will only be produced between you, me and Ai Nengqi, my brother wants you to make a promise, that is to support my brother and me to ascend the throne of the lord of the Great West Kingdom, make every effort to rectify the Great West Kingdom, and prepare to avenge the father-in-law!"

Sun Kewang said.

"This ......"

Liu Wenxiu was a little hesitant, although he didn't plan to be the emperor, but it doesn't mean that he must support Sun Kewang, although among all the people, Sun Kewang has the highest prestige and the deepest qualifications, but Ai Nengqi is not far behind, they are all brothers, and he is completely on Sun Kewang's side, so if Ai Nengqi questions himself in the future, but how is it good?

"Why, brother, can't you trust me? As long as I ascend to the throne of the country, can I still owe my brother? If that's the case, then I'm not as good as a beast? Moreover, you also know that Prime Minister Wang Cheng, Wang Shangshu and others in the court all support my brother and me, and the emperor also relies on me more, isn't it? Even if the emperor is elected, who do you think the emperor will choose? ”

Liu Wenxiu's heart was shocked, and he said slowly: "Big brother, if the court's ministers support you, then brother, I will naturally occupy your side, but if the court's courtiers support Brother Ai, then I can only remain neutral, no matter what, I don't want the three of them to be unhappy......"

"Don't worry about this, after all, we are still brothers, whether it is you or Ai Nengqi, we are the pillars of the Great Western Kingdom, how can I do things that are quick for the enemy and painful for the relatives?"

Sun Kewang was slightly happy in his heart and said in a low voice.

"In this case, that brother is willing to support you to ascend to the throne, and these 80,000 troops are also dispatched by you, I hope that the eldest brother can bring our brothers back to Sichuan alive!"
