The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 697
Although he knew that it was absurd and shameless for Zhang Xianzhong to bet on the whole city for a decisive battle with the government and army, but Sun Kewang was now a guilty person, so even if he wanted to persuade him, he would not have the guts to persuade him.

Although Li Dingguo stepped forward to remonstrate, Zhang Xianzhong soon became impatient and waved his hands and shouted: "Is there still not enough people killed by me? All things are born to support people, but people have nothing to repay the sky. No matter how many of these people die What does it matter? If there is any more nonsense, I will push it out and chop it up."

Li Dingguo sighed in his heart, he was so disappointed that he didn't dare to say any more.

Others dared not speak up to persuade them.

Although Sun Kewang had a strong fear of Di Qing because of his defeat in the First Battle of Mianyang, but Zhang Xianzhong was ordered, and he had to obey, so he stepped forward and knelt down in the tunnel and said: "Father has a wonderful idea, since the officers and soldiers have always been hypocritical , This clever plan will definitely get them into the urn. My son will go to Mianyang to report this to the officer and general."

Zhang Xianzhong was originally displeased by Li Dingguo's advice, but now seeing Sun Kewang's words, Long Yan was delighted, and said loudly: "Okay, I'm a good son of Lao Tzu. When these officers and soldiers are eliminated, I will discuss your merits and deeds." Reward, this time the crime is completely forgiven."

But Sun Kewang didn't have any confidence in his heart. He felt that his adoptive father, the emperor, was out of his mind and started to go crazy, thinking and saying differently from ordinary people.

Although he and the commander of the army, Di Qingsu, hadn't faced each other, but the two fights failed in a mess, his courage was exhausted, and he no longer had the fighting spirit in his heart.

The most critical reason is that the Great Western Army lived in a secluded corner, hiding in this Shuzhou.It seems that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is endless.But in fact, they are out of touch with the outside world. I don't know that the current war situation is no longer the kind of duel with real swords and guns, but firearms have become the key to victory.

Zhang Xianzhong still can't recognize this fact until now. Instead, he used the lives of all the people in Jinguan City to force the officers and soldiers to fight against him in a wild and shameful showdown.Let's not talk about how stupid this idea is, can the general of the official army agree.Even if he agreed, the Great West Army was doomed to a crushing defeat.

According to his thinking, the most important thing to do at this moment is to pack up and prepare to withdraw from Jinguan City, so as to have a chance to escape under the peak of the army, otherwise there must be a dead end.

When everyone left the palace, Sun Kewang was full of worries and walked towards the street mountain in despair, planning to go home to say goodbye to his wife and children before going to Mianyang.

He didn't know if he could come back after this trip, and it was estimated that the possibility of returning was very small.

But Zhang Xianzhong had to listen to his orders, he felt hesitant and distressed, the pain was unbearable, and he didn't even hear someone calling him from behind.

It wasn't until someone patted him on the shoulder that he came back to his senses, and when he fixed his eyes, it was Li Dingguo.

For Li Dingguo, he feels very awkward now, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

When the two first followed Zhang Xianzhong, they had a very good relationship. Under Zhang Xianzhong's command, they cooperated with each other and hijacked each other. On the battlefield, the two cooperated tacitly and even saved each other's lives.

At that time, both of them thought that they would be good brothers for life.

It's just that they don't know when, the two of them became unfamiliar, and even turned against each other, becoming recognized competitors.

But this time Li Dingguo pleaded for him regardless of the previous suspicions. He wanted to thank him, but he felt that he couldn't say it, so he looked weird and uncertain.

Seeing his expression, Li Dingguo knew what he was thinking, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "This is not the place we promised, come with me."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at the front, back, left, and right sides, and after confirming that no one was following him, he took the lead and walked forward.

Sun Kewang was taken aback for a moment, but had no choice but to follow behind.

After the two turned around a few streets and alleys, they entered a courtyard.

The layout of the courtyard is exquisite, the scenery is beautiful, there are maids and servants waiting in front and back, it is obviously a separate courtyard of Li Dingguo.

However, Sun Kewang was very upset at this time, and he didn't have much mood to look at the scenery at all. Instead, he stopped and asked impatiently, "What did you bring me here for? Just say it if you want me to thank you for your kindness." Well, that’s unnecessary. I’m already a mortal, and I don’t care about anything else.”

Li Dingguo knew that he was upset, so he didn't care about his words. He waved someone to serve some snacks, drinks and food, and then asked the servants to retreat before saying in a sincere tone: "Brother Sun, don't worry, you forgot our old days. Friendship, I have not forgotten. It is just a small effort to plead for you today, so you don't have to take it to heart. "

Sun Kewang was ashamed of what he said, his face blushed, but he snorted coldly, but his expression softened a lot.

"Brother Sun, when you and I followed our adoptive father, what we thought was that one day we would be able to conquer the world, and then seal our wives and sons, and enjoy the glory and wealth, so that our ancestors can also feel the glory under the nine springs. For more than ten years, we have fought desperately. , You have made a lot of contributions to your adoptive father. But today you lost a big battle, but he yelled at you, like throwing away a pair of worn-out sandals. It really chills my heart. Brother, this is still the rich life we ​​pursued back then Are you trembling every day, for fear that if you are not careful, your head will fall to the ground, and everything will be empty."

Li Dingguo's words set off a turbulent wave in Sun Kewang's heart, giving him a deep feeling that the pain was understood,

When people are young, they always like to pursue an exciting life, so at that time they fought desperately, taking pleasure in killing and looting, and made countless contributions to Zhang Xianzhong.

But as we grow older and have a family, wife and children, our vigor gradually loses, and we begin to have a desire for stability, thinking about enjoying the glory and wealth, living a happy life surrounded by beautiful wives and beautiful families, and surrounded by children. day.

Originally thought that after the founding of the Great Western Kingdom, this dream would be realized, and he would be able to settle down in peace, but he found that the master he followed became more and more insane, and killing people became his greatest hobby.

Killing officials, soldiers, prisoners, squires and civilians, ministers of civil and military affairs, and even his confidantes who followed him to fight the world will face disaster if they disagree with each other.

After the initial deterrence, this kind of behavior caused a huge backlash. The people of Shuzhou hated Zhang Xianzhong and Daxiguo deeply, and they revolted one after another.Although they were suppressed a lot, the uprisings became more and more frequent. The Daxi Army ran around, running around, but the rebel army was still as endless as weeds.

Even if the officers and soldiers don't come, Daxi Kingdom may not last long.

Zhang Xianzhong's extremely anti-human behavior not only offended all the people, but also made his subordinates feel insecure. Many people have already begun to worry about their future.

Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo are Zhang Xianzhong's most trusted people, but they are still treated like this, so one can imagine what other people will be like.

Therefore, Li Dingguo's words resonated greatly with Sun Kewang.

He was stunned for a long time, and finally managed to stabilize himself, and forced himself to be calm: "What do you mean by telling me this? My Sun Kewang is loyal to his adoptive father, so don't make any crooked ideas."

However, Li Dingguo sighed and said: "If the elder brother thinks that I am tricking you and has the idea of ​​harming you, then there is no need to say anything, and I will send the elder brother out. You go and find the commander-in-chief of the army." Battle post, little brother wishes big brother a safe return."
