The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 698 The Last Chance to Live
Seeing Sun Kewang sitting still, Li Dingguo knew that he was duplicity, but continued to snort coldly: "If elder brother Sun thinks that I want to harm you, then why don't you tell my adoptive father what I just said and let him execute me?" gone."

Sun Kewang saw that his expression was natural, and he didn't seem to be setting himself a trap, so he smiled unnaturally and said, "Then what do you want to tell me? Although I, Sun Kewang, have always regarded you as a competitor, I am not The kind of person who informs behind the back. Besides, at this moment, the wind and rain are turbulent, and the building is about to collapse, and sitting in that seat will only lead to a dead end, so why should I bother."

Seeing what he said, Li Dingguo's expression softened a little, and he said: "Brother, I came to you today because I don't want to be buried with Daxiguo. You are all married people, and the current situation you He knows better than me, feels more deeply, and it’s time to move. Do you want to watch our family members die like this?"

Li Dingguo knew that although Sun Kewang was ambitious, he also attached great importance to his family, so he moved him from this point.

Sure enough, a look of pain appeared on Sun Kewang's face. He picked up the jug in front of him and poured himself a glass of wine, then drank it hard, and then said bitterly: "The officers and soldiers are powerful, and the artillery fire is extremely fierce. They will be killed soon. When we get to the city, we are absolutely no match. In the face of the fierce artillery and sharp and precise muskets of the officers and soldiers, our cavalry is no match at all. The demise of Daxi Kingdom is imminent, but what can I do? If I If you don't go, it doesn't matter if you die, it will also hurt your family. If I go, there is still a glimmer of hope. If you still treat me as a brother, take care of my family after I die. I am also grateful under Jiuquan do."

After speaking, he poured another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp, looking disheartened.

However, Li Dingguo sneered and said, "I didn't expect you, Sun Kewang, the respected General Sun, to be so useless. You were going to die, but you entrusted your wife and children to others. I thought you were still the one who was not afraid of anything. Sun Kewang, who defended against hundreds of officers and soldiers by himself, was unexpectedly just a counselor who gave up on himself and put his hopes on others. In that case, you should leave. As for what will happen to your wife and children after you die, no one can predict. "

Sun Kewang was furious, he got up suddenly, raised his fist and wanted to hit Li Dingguo, but he stopped in the air again.

He saw contempt and mockery in Li Dingguo's eyes, but he also felt his indisputable anger. Finally, he put down his fist powerlessly, sat down heavily, poured another glass of wine and drank it vigorously, and then murmured : "If I am not like this, what else can I do?"

Li Dingguo saw that his mood had calmed down, so he said in a low voice: "Brother Sun, now that we have reached the point of life and death, we must think for ourselves, and we must not sit still and wait for death."

Sun Kewang realized something, and suddenly looked up at Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo looked firmly in his eyes, nodded to him and continued: "For so many years, we have done enough things for our adoptive father, and enough to repay his kindness. You should be very clear in your heart that Daxi Kingdom has no future. Nian became a maniac for murdering people, causing resentment from the people all over the world. No matter whether it is a gentry or a high-ranking official, there is no one who does not resent him. There is absolutely no hope for such a Daxi Kingdom. Even if the officers and soldiers do not come, they will be overthrown sooner or later. Yifu Now the temperament is crazy, and I don’t listen to other people’s opinions at all, and there is absolutely no possibility of changing. Now, we have to plan for ourselves, otherwise we will never have another chance.”

Sun Kewang calmed down a lot, and Li Dingguo began to listen to Li Dingguo's words. He nodded and said solemnly: "You are right, Daxi Kingdom has no hope, and it will perish sooner or later. What you mean is that we will take our troops and horses away from our adoptive father." , leave Shuzhou?"

Li Dingguo nodded, then shook his head and said: "Today is different from the past. If a year ago, we separated from our adoptive father, we could still do something, because the world was still in a state of chaos at that time. Great opportunity. But right now, the imperial court has regained stability, and the world has basically settled down except for our Shuzhou. If you go to make troubles at this time, you will definitely become the target of the imperial court alone, and there will be no way to resist at that time. "

Sun Kewang took Li Dingguo's words seriously, nodded and asked again: "Then what good idea do you have? Since you asked me to talk about this, you must have a definite idea, why don't we discuss it together."

Li Dingguo said: "I am going to discuss with my elder brother. The last chance for us to survive this time is the current imperial army. If we can cooperate with the imperial court, not only can we survive, but we can even keep our rich life."

Sun Kewang's body trembled, he hesitated for a moment and then said in a low voice: "Are you saying the wrong thing?"

Li Dingguo nodded firmly and said: "Yes, it's the opposite. The only plan for now is to reverse it. If not, we will follow the father-in-law to bury this hopeless Daxi Kingdom together."

Seeing Li Dingguo's firm affection, Sun Kewang's thoughts gradually became clear, and it didn't take long for him to make up his mind: "It seems that this is the only way. The righteous father is not benevolent, so we can only be unrighteous. What specific plans do you have? "

After Li Dingguo approached him and whispered something in his ear, Sun Kewang's heart trembled. After thinking about it carefully, this was indeed the best opportunity.

After the two discussed the details in detail, they made all the plans, and Sun Kewang left.

After returning to his mansion, Sun Kewang kept a few of his confidant generals in secret, and after making arrangements like this, these people quickly dispersed.

Then he called his wife and gave him careful instructions.Finally, the housekeeper was called, and after making some arrangements, he brought a few cronies and rode out of Jinguan City towards Mianyang City.

Jinguan City is located in a large basin, surrounded by large plains outside the city, it can be said that it is the most fertile place in Shuzhou, so Jinguancheng can become the political, economic and cultural center of Shuzhou, and its population is also the same as that of Shuzhou. The densest place in the state.

In its heyday, the population near Jinguan City was close to one million.Now, due to successive years of wars and the massacre by Zhang Xianzhong, there is no one in ten. Many fertile fields have been reduced to wilderness, weeds are luxuriant along the roadside, and naked bones can be seen everywhere.

The mass death of human beings has led to the rampage of wild animals. Many wild animals that were not easy to appear in human residential areas in the past are walking on the streets majestically. The most harmful one is the tiger.

Even at one point, more than 100 tigers wandered the streets at the same time, looking for living people to eat, resulting in even more sparse population.The whole Shuzhou is like a hell on earth.

It is about two hundred miles from Jinguan City to Mianyang City.Because it is a plain area, the official road is flat.

It was already afternoon when Sun Kewang and his party left the city, and the sky gradually became dark after they left for a long time.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew up, and the horses under the crotch of the group began to neigh and tremble, refusing to move forward.
