Li Dingguo's eyes were red and he kept urging the war horse under his crotch.

Bai Wenxuan, who was leading the way, gradually couldn't hold on anymore. He had seven or eight wounds on his body. Although he was not fatal, he had a lot of blood. After running all night, he was exhausted.

He forced himself to support his body, and by the end he was almost lying on the back of the horse.

"Bai Wenxuan" Li Dingguo held the horse and said, "You can't do it anymore, don't follow me anymore, go back to Dianqiao Town to recuperate."

Bai Wenxuan forced out a smile and said, "General, I'm fine."

It has been two hours since he heard that Luo Xiongzhou was attacked. The hidden pain in his heart still made Li Dingguo's breathing a little uncomfortable. He calmly said: "It will be useless for you to go back. I want to go back to see Sun Kewang. I want to ask him why."

"General" Bai Wenxuan smiled bitterly. Do you need to ask anything? From then on, the two generals split out of the Western Army will never stop.

Li Dingguo sighed and said, "You go back to find Mr. Liu. I am desperate now. I don't know if the court is willing to accept me."

This is a big deal. Bai Wenxuan felt that it would be better for him to talk to Liu Suifeng than Li Dingguo. He did want to surrender to the court for a long time, but he never had the idea of ​​betraying Li Dingguo.

He turned his horse's head and bowed, "As for the order."

After resting for a while, Li Dingguo continued to move forward and walked forward for another hour. There were gradually defeated soldiers on the road. When they saw his flag, they all knelt on the ground and burst into tears.

Li Dingguo ordered the scout to search for information along several small paths to Luoxiongzhou and collect the escaped tribes. Dianqiao Town went to Luoxiongzhou for about 100 miles of mountain roads. He was worried that Sun Kewang would continue to attack, so he dared not be too reckless and moved forward carefully.

However, these paths are narrow and difficult to walk, which is not conducive to the army's walking. Even if Sun Kewang wants to take the opportunity to attack Guiyang, he will probably break through from Annanwei.

In the afternoon, he was not too far from Luoxiongzhou. The scout reported that the gate of Luoxiongzhou was closed and that Sun Kewang had blocked the past roads.

Looking at the more than 3,000 soldiers around him, Li Dingguo was about to cry without tears.

His subordinates had more than 20,000 people, and now only these people were left. If the others did not surrender, they would probably be subjected to Sun Kewang's murder.

The army found a slightly flat mountain to station it. At night, Liu Wenxiu led his army to pick him up, and the two soldiers cooperated with each other. Liu Wenxiu saw that Li Dingguo was depressed and there were ten thousand ants crawling on his chest.

He walked over and comforted him, "General Li, Sun Thief is so vicious. It's not too late to recognize his appearance today. If he continues like this, there will be no good ending."

"So what?" Li Dingguo's eyes seemed to be about to spit out fire. "Sun Kewang has always been determined in his work, but he is afraid that the blood in Luoxiongzhou has already flowed into a river."

Liu Wenxiu said: "If you do more unrighteous things, you will die of your own life."

The two of them sat down and stopped talking. Now they could only wait for news from Minister Liu and the Ming Dynasty. They also had a backer.

The next day, Liu Wenxiu rose to the tent early to order troops.

It was the limit to stationing 5,000 troops in this mountain. Li Dingguo ordered his generals to lead two thousand wounded and frightened defeated troops to return first, and ordered a thousand troops to go straight to Luoxiongzhou.

Before leaving, Liu Wenxiu advised: "Since Sun's thief has already taken action, what's the use of seeing him again? Why not lead the army back to Guiyang first and ask the Ming Dynasty court to send troops to attack Yunnan, and see the difference on the battlefield."

Li Dingguo said silently. Although he felt ache in his heart, there was still a trace of love tied to the Daxi Army.

At the beginning, his adoptive father Zhang Xianzhong was cruel and incompetent, and he did a lot of things against his will. The Daxi Army was defeated by Wu Sangui in Sichuan, and his adoptive father died. The four of them fled to Yunnan. They finally recovered from anger. Are they going to destroy the Daxi Army with their own hands now?

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Liu Wenxiu did not dare to persuade him anymore, so he directed his soldiers to arrange fortifications in the dangerous places and prepare to resist Sun Kewangjun.

Li Dingguo drove his horse and Liu Wenxiu looked at his back and shouted, "Sun Kewang is vicious. If something is wrong, please come back quickly." The more painful Li Dingguo was, the more guilt he apologized, but he didn't dare to reveal that he was betraying him.

Li Dingguo led his army to be on guard across the path. There were many towns and villages in front of Luoxiongzhou. The mutiny the day before yesterday scared the courage of the mountain people, and now no one can see them.

He led his army to the east gate of Luoxiongzhou City, and no one came out to intercept it.

The flag of "Daxi" is still erected at the head of Luoxiongzhou city, but the flag of "Li" has been replaced with the flag of "Sun".

Li Dingguo saw a row of heads hanging from the top of the city from afar, and felt his chest hurt like a needle. He could no longer hold back and urged his horse to speed out and shouted outside the East City Gate: "Sun Kewang, come out for me."

There was a commotion on the top of the city wall, and a row of soldiers appeared, each holding bows, arrows, birds and guns, as if facing a great enemy. No one knew Li Dingguo's reputation in the Western Army.

Li Dingguo was furious under the city and shouted: "Sun Kewang, come out for me." His family and children are all in Luoxiongzhou, and I don't know if they have been poisoned.

After he shouted for more than a dozen times, a sinister voice sounded from the city wall, "General Li, you dare to come back."

Sun Kewang's figure appeared on the top of the city wall.

Li Dingguo cursed: "You are despicable and shameless, how can you fight with your family and attack my Luoxiongzhou?"

Sun Kewang said: "You forgot your original intention of rebellion and wanted to imitate the rebellious Liu Wenxiu and surrender to the court. What kind of face do you have to do with me? "

Li Ding Guodao: "Is it because I want to surrender to the court? You sent someone to Nanjing two years ago to seek surrender. You forced Liu Wenxiu away and sneaked into Luo Xiongzhou. Are you not afraid of the coldness of your brothers?"

Sun Kewang said: "The Great Western Army regards me as the commander. It is not that easy for you to be the admiral of Yunnan. I will not kill you today because I want you to see clearly the consequences of betraying me.

After saying that, he turned around and went down to the city without waiting for Li Dingguo's reply.

The day before yesterday, he took advantage of Li Dingguo's absence from Luoxiongzhou to open the city gate and commanded the army to enter the city. Li Dingguo's troops were strong in combat, but because Sun Kewang was still the commander of the Daxi Army, he arranged spies to serve as internal support in Li Dingguo's army. Many soldiers were unreasonable and surrendered. Only Bai Wenxuan and others were loyal to him and led their troops out of Luoxiongzhou to report to Li Dingguo.

After controlling Luoxiongzhou, Sun Kewang immediately killed more than 100 loyal generals of Li Dingguo in the name of rebellion. Li Dingguo's army was famous for fighting in the Daxi Army. He could not kill all of these 20,000 people, and just wanted to take the opportunity to control this army.

He dispatched more than half of the surrendered soldiers to Kunming, hoping to use the method of scattered garrison to slowly divide the Li Dingguo army, and some disobedient people were slowly eliminated.

Li Dingguo shouted outside the city for a while, but there was no response in Luo Xiongzhou. He was helpless and could only lead his troops back.

This mutiny changed the situation in the southwest.

Li Dingguo led the remnants to retreat outside Guiyang City. Guizhou general Pi Xiong and Liu Wenxiu each held a dangerous place and were ready for Yunnan.

Liu Suifeng wrote to Nanjing City, but he would not be able to return to Nanjing in the short term.

The Western Army was very popular with the people in Yunnan, and the southwest road was difficult. The imperial court opened three battlefields in Jiangbei. In the short term, it was afraid that it would not be intent to start the war in the southwest again.

Liu Suifeng gave Li Dingguo a reassurance first, saying that the previous agreement between the two was still valid.

The envoy traveled from Guiyang to Nanjing as soon as possible, and these 20 days were spent on Li Dingguo. After Liu Suifeng knew that his family had lost, he quickly contacted the secret agent of the Jinyiwei lurking in Yunnan to inquire about the news.

Ten days later, the border between Yunnan and Guizhou returned to its former appearance, as if this mutiny had never happened.

Today, news came from the secret spies, and Liu Suifeng hurriedly invited Li Dingguo into his mansion. His residence was quiet and the guards were guarding him closely.

The court has not officially announced the official position of Li Dingguo, and Liu Suifeng still calls him a general.

Ten days ago, he saw that Li Dingguo was a little confused and depressed, but now he was haggard.

The servant gave tea, and Liu Suifeng asked Li Dingguo to sit opposite him. He developed the habit of tasting Yunnan Pu'er in Guizhou. Now Li Dingguo is afraid that any tea he drinks will be bitter.

"General Li, don't worry too much. Your family is being detained in Kunming City, and Sun Kewang dares not act rashly."

Li Dingguoqiang smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu." After joining the court, he realized the difficulties of becoming an official, but he was afraid that he would never find the freedom he had in Luoxiongzhou again. Now he has nothing, and he has to rely on Liu Suifeng for many things, and he dare not see Mr. Liu as equal as before.

Liu Suifeng tasted a sip of tea and said, "General Li, don't worry, I can protect General Li, and Sun Kewang will never dare to be rude to the general's family."

His words were very sudden. Li Dingguo knew that the Minister Liu was very scheming and did not lie to him.

He asked in a trembling voice: "Are you really sure?" After all, Yu Shin's family lives more than fifty people. If all his family members died, although he would hate Sun Kewang, he would regret not accepting the court's amnesty.

"Of course I'm sure." Liu Suifeng pulled out a letter from his sleeve and was still on the table.

Li Dingguo was puzzled and reached out to pick up the letter. He saw the handwriting in the letter, but his face changed drastically before he could see the content.

Liu Suifeng steadily drank tea. He couldn't make the decision on this matter, but he was afraid that the Regent would make the decision. But the Regent ordered him to preside over the surrender of the Western Army and would definitely respect his opinions.

The letter was very long, and it took Li Dingguo a long time to finish reading it, and then put the letter back into the envelope again, his hands couldn't help but tremble.

"What do you think of General Li?"

Li Dingguo sighed deeply and leaned on the chair dejectedly.

Liu Suifeng said: "I feel guilty about General Li. I invite General Li to come today. It is to invite General Li to be the leader. I will report to the court again."

Li Dingguo was in a mess. Liu Suifeng said this, and he had already made a decision, and he was the one who decided. He didn't know that Liu Suifeng said he was ashamed of him, which meant that he had actively leaked false news to Sun Kewang before.

He thought for a long time and said firmly: "I, I just want my family to live."

Liu Suifeng said: "This matter is due to the reputation of the court. The regent is kind and may not be able to inquire about personal affairs. I will do my best. General Li should think about the benefits of everything, but there may not be room for negotiation."

Of course, Li Dingguo understood that it was already very rare for Liu Suifeng to come to ask him. He had never even seen the Regent before. He just reposted it with Liu Suifeng, how human favor is there.

He was unwilling to give up.
