After succeeding to the throne of the Great Western Empire, Sun Kewang summoned more than a dozen major generals from the army to the mansion to discuss important matters.

"I got the spy to report that the army of more than 100,000 led by Zeng Ying has arrived in Neijiang.

In addition, Wang Yingxiong, the newly appointed governor of the four provinces in Zunyi, was also gathering the official army to prepare to attack Chongqing.

Everyone, what should we do in this situation?"

After Sun Kewang ascended the throne, he quickly became a role, and he said that he was called a lonely person.

A dozen generals looked at me, and I looked at you, all of them were frowning, and no one spoke for a moment.

Sun Kewang frowned and could only name it.

"Wang Xun, tell me."

Wang Xun is the only veteran general among these dozen commanders of the Western Army.

When Zhang Xianzhong was there, he could lead the troops alone.

He used to have a good relationship with Sun Kewang, and he also made great efforts in gathering the remaining troops of the Daxi Army and succeeding the throne. Now he has been appointed as the governor of the Daxi Army by Sun Kewang.

He thought for a while and said, "King, the best way out for our army was to go down the river and fight back to Huguang.

However, as far as the last general knows, Huguang is now occupied by Baiwang's troops of the Dashun Army and Zuoliangyu's troops of the Ming army.

In addition, Huguang has been destroyed, and there is nothing to do, and it is difficult to get over there in Jiangxi.

Therefore, going to Huguang became the worst strategy.”

Hearing this, Sun Kewang asked according to the habits in the play, “What about Zhongce?”

"Zhongce?" Wang Xun was stunned when asked, and then said embarrassedly: "I haven't figured it out yet."

Sun Kewang didn't look like he could make a plan when he saw others, so he simply said, "Forget it, let's talk to you alone.

If we can't go to Huguang, then all we can go to is Guizhou and Yunnan.

There seem to be no soldiers in Yunnan, but the mountains are high and the road is long. We have to pass through the southwest prefectures in Sichuan. If we are not careful, we may be kept.

On the contrary, in Guizhou, although Wang Yingxiong gathered troops in Zunyi, so far, his subordinates have only 40,000 to 50,000 troops, of which only more than 10,000 can be fought.

Moreover, I have inquired about Wang Yingxiong. He is an old master and is not good at marching and fighting.

Therefore, I feel that we may be able to break through from Zunyi, enter Guizhou, and then go south from Guizhou to Guangdong and Guangxi.

I heard that there is already wealthy and not like the north, it has experienced many wars and chaos, which is suitable for our Western Army to take over to build a foundation!"

Almost all the generals under Sun Kewang's command spoke out, and occasionally one or two of them came from official troops, and they also had little education.

After hearing Sun Kewang's analysis, they all felt it made sense. When they remembered the rumored wealth in Guangdong and Guangxi, their eyes lit up.

Even after they made a statement-

"The king is very clear, Guangdong and Guangxi are indeed a good place, especially Guangdong."

"I heard that the strange things we saw came from Guangzhou Haojing."

"Uh, I know Hao Jing. I heard that there are many barbarians over there, which is convenient for buying bird guns and red barbarian cannons. If we have red barbarian cannons, Chengdu City will definitely be captured in one day."

"There are more than Haojing in Guangdong, do Foshan know? I heard that it is the place where the Ming Dynasty blacksmiths are the most...

In this way, Sun Kewang quickly unified the internal opinions of the Daxi Army and decided to break through from Zunyi to Guizhou, and then move to Guangdong and Guangxi.

October 26, 17th year of Chongzhen.

After receiving the imperial edict from the Hongguang court in Nanjing and being the governor of the four provinces for nearly a month, Wang Yingxiong finally took action.

He took 10,000 troops from the troops of the general Wang Xiang as his vanguard.

He personally led the general Luo Yuxin and other generals and his troops, and his troops were nearly 40,000, plus more than 30,000 civilians who were recruited, claiming to be a 100,000 army. Zunyi Military and Civilian Mansion invaded Chongqing Prefecture.

On that day, the vanguard general Wang Xiang captured Qijiang, which was not under the control of the Western Army.

After Wang Yingxiong arrived at Qijiang County, he immediately reported a good news to the Hongguang court and promoted Wang Xiang to deputy general.

The next day, the army led by Wang Yingxiong marched towards Jiangjin, and was attacked by the Daxi Army. It was immediately defeated and retreated to Qijiang.

Three days later, November 1st.

The tens of thousands of Daxi Army led by Sun Kewang fought a war with tens of thousands of Ming troops led by Wang Yingxiong in Qijiang.

It is difficult to defend Qijiang City. Wang Yingxiong took Wang Xiang's suggestion and set up two camps outside the city based on the mountain situation, forming a junction with Qijiang City.

Deputy General Wang Xiang and General Luo Yuxin each guarded a large camp.

The general Hou Tianci and others led other troops and horses to guard Qijiang City with Wang Yingxiong.

Sun Kewang attacked the camp guarded by Luo Yuxin with his elite troops, and also used his partial troops to seize the city and the camp guarded by Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang's troops and Qijiang City tried to rescue Luo Yuxin's troops several times but failed.

Half a day later, Luo Yuxin's camp was captured and more than 10,000 troops were defeated and fled.

Sun Kewang sent only a few small groups of cavalry to chase and kill the defeated army, and began to attack Qijiang City in the afternoon.

Unbearable.

That night, Wang Xiang attacked the Daxi Army camp with his elite troops at night, but failed to succeed and instead captured thousands of elite soldiers.

The next day, Sun Kewang continued to attack Qijiang County.

Half a day later, the northern city gate was blown up with gunpowder, and the army invaded Qijiang County.

Wang Yingxiong was protected by Hou Tianci and other generals, and broke out from the east gate with elite troops.

During the operation, Wang Yingxiong's only son Wang Yangxi died in the army.

Wang Xiang's troops took the opportunity to go out to attack the flanks of the Daxi Army, and won a small victory, and were defeated again, so they could only lead the remaining troops to escape to Zunyi.

Sun Kewang led the Daxi Army to pursue the ranks.

A few days later, I caught up to the city of Zunyi.

Then, with a partial army, he watched the Ming army in Zunyi City, and the main force entered Guizhou...

November 5th.

More than a month after going out for the battle, Zeng Ying led a large army into Chongqing Prefecture City.

But not only did he not be happy, he frowned.

Because along the way, he didn't even fight a decent battle.

The vanguard's horse probe reported that not long ago, Sun Kewang led the Daxiong Army to defeat the governor Wang Yingxiong appointed by the Hongguang court in Qijiang. Now the Daxiong Army has entered Zunyi.

In addition, the Chongqing Prefecture he passed along was seriously damaged - no one was seen in cities or villages. Chongqing, which was once rich, is now only the bleakness of early winter.

The army could not get supplies from the local area, and logistics could only rely on Chengdu's supply.

This time, his mission was not only to recover Chongqing Prefecture, but also to wipe out the remaining troops of the Western Army.

Now that Sun Kewang has led the remaining troops of the Western Army to Zunyi, it means that his mission has only been completed halfway.

Zunyi Military and Civilian Mansion is also under the jurisdiction of Sichuan. In theory, Zeng Ying should have chased him immediately.

However, considering that Wang Yingxiong of the Hongguang court was there, and that the remaining bandits in various prefectures and counties in Chongqing also needed time to clear them, Zeng Ying first asked Zhu Mei for instructions, and then wiped out the bandits and conquered the rest of the prefectures and counties in Chongqing, while waiting for Zhu Mei's instructions.

As Zeng Ying led a large army to conquer Chongqing's prefectures and counties and resume transportation, the matter of Zhu Mei being the governor of Chengdu was spread to Luzhou, Yongning, Shizhu and Zunyi. Or the relevant news is no longer hidden by those who are interested, and it is for everyone to be

As you know.

Stone pillar.

Xuanfusiyaya.

This place belongs to the government office, while the Ma family actually belongs to the chieftain. Qin Liangyu did not live here normally. He will only be here when he formally receives court officials and comes to envoys.

On this day, when Qin Liangyu heard that an angel from Chengdu was coming, he hurried over with the nephews of the Qin and Ma families.

Qin Liangyu was very tall, and her skin was darker after years of fighting. Although she was already seventy-four or five years old, her body was not as good as before, but she was still healthy and walked like a meteor.

Nephew Qin Yiming and Qin Gongming followed him, while younger Qin Zuoming, Qin Zuoming and Ma Wannian followed him.
