Sun Kewang, who is stationed in Chengdu Fucheng, has less than 150,000 Daxi Army sergeants under his command. With this small number of troops, all Sun Kewang can do is to defend Chengdu Fucheng and some surrounding places to protect the Daxi Imperial Court. As for Sichuan Province

Those forces that opposed the Daxi imperial court had no time to take care of it.

When Zhang Xianzhong led the most elite sergeants of the Great Western Army to Huangzhou Fucheng, Sun Kewang felt a little disappointed and painful in his heart. In his opinion, he should be the one to command such a battle.

Everyone knows that Zhang Xianzhong is prolific in killing people and has a cruel personality. Although Sun Kewang is Zhang Xianzhong's most trusted adopted son, he is also very careful in his daily life and tries not to anger Zhang Xianzhong to avoid being punished, which will lead to him being under the control of one person in the Daxi Army.

His position above ten thousand people was not guaranteed. In his heart, Sun Kewang had another wish, which was to inherit the throne of the Great Western Kingdom. He would never say this out loud.

After Zhang Xianzhong led the army to leave, Sun Kewang felt uneasy, thinking that Li Dingguo might show off his talents in front of his father Zhang Xianzhong and establish extraordinary prestige in the army, but he could only helplessly defend the city of Chengdu.

In Sun Kewang's view, his father Zhang Xianzhong will definitely be able to win this time when he leads the troops to Huangzhou Fucheng to fight. He will be able to completely wipe out Zheng Chenggong and Gao Jie's troops who attacked Huguang. He will be able to completely wipe out the arrogance of the Longwu court. He will also be able to ruthlessly defeat

Taught a lesson to the Zheng family who supported the Longwu court.

Of course, Sun Kewang still has a chance. Once Zhang Xianzhong leads the army to defeat Zheng Chenggong and Gao Jie, he will definitely send troops to Zhejiang and Fujian and other places. At that time, Sun Kewang will take the initiative to ask for help, and he will be able to make huge contributions.

After Zhang Xianzhong left Chengdu Fucheng, Sun Kewang sent a large number of scouts secretly to Huguang to investigate.

Chengdu Fucheng is a full 2,500 miles away from Huangzhou Fucheng. It is not easy for the scouts to detect the intelligence of Huangzhou Fucheng. It takes a long time to go back and forth. Sun Kewang is also worried that these scouts will be discovered by his father Zhang Xianzhong, so he warned the scouts before

Scouts who go to Huguang to investigate for news should not go near the capital city of Huangzhou. They should mainly obtain news from merchants and ordinary people.

Nearly two months have passed, and the scouts have barely detected much useful information. You must know that the news of Zhang Xianzhong's visit to Huangzhou Fucheng was originally kept secret. It was impossible for ordinary people and merchants to know, and Huangzhou Fucheng was already being conquered and killed.

In the central area, merchants and people avoided it, but no one would take the initiative to go there at this time.

Sun Kewang, who did not get the news, became even more anxious and anxious and wanted to go to Huangzhou Fucheng in person.

...

A businessman who was trembling violently could hardly stand still when he was brought into the hall.

A gloom appeared on Sun Kewang's face. He looked at the palace guards and spoke unceremoniously.

"What's wrong? Why did you bring the merchants to the main hall..."

"Report to the general, this merchant said that he brought the emperor's decree, and you must see the general before you speak..."

Sun Kewang stepped forward and looked at the merchant whose face had lost all color.

Although the merchant was unsteady, his eyes were still moving, obviously looking at the other people around him. Sun Kewang instantly understood what the merchant meant and waved to other people in the hall.

Everyone exited the hall, leaving only the merchants and two palace guards.

Sun Kewang pondered for a moment, then looked at the merchant and spoke.

"Let's not talk about intelligence matters for now. Let me ask you, did you come from Huangzhou Fucheng? Why did you help deliver the news? How long did it take to get from Huangzhou Fucheng to Chengdu..."

The merchant knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly.

"General, have mercy on me. I'm not from Huangzhou Fucheng. I've been doing business in Chengdu. Just now, a few military men came to the shop. Well, I've seen these military men come to buy things before.

They asked Xiao to bring this letter, and asked Xiao to hand the letter to the general in person. If Xiao couldn't do it, they would kill Xiao's whole family..."

Sun Kewang's expression changed instantly. It was impossible for the merchant in front of him to lie. In other words, the information was brought by the sergeant from Huangzhou Fucheng. The sergeant who could deliver the letter was definitely not an ordinary person in the Great Western Army.

Maybe they were even palace guards. Why didn't these people come directly to the main hall and ask the merchants to send letters?

"So that's it, if you lie, I will kill your whole family..."

The merchant's body instantly collapsed, and he kowtowed desperately, with tears and runny nose flowing out.

"I will never dare to lie. Everything I say is the truth. If the general doesn't believe it, you can send someone to the store to have a look. Those military masters might still be there..."

Sun Kewang forced himself to calm down and waved to the two palace guards beside him.

The palace guards quickly pulled the merchant out of the hall and waited outside.

When the merchant was pulled out of the hall, Sun Kewang opened the letter...

Soon, Sun Kewang's face changed drastically, and his body began to tremble. He was lost in thought while holding the letter, and did not speak for a long time, until the palace guards outside the main hall came forward and were ready to speak.

"You don't need to say it. The emperor led his troops to fight in Huangzhou Fucheng and was ambushed by Denglai's new army..."

The palace guard's expression also changed, and his body trembled as he spoke.

"General, general, how is the emperor..."

Sun Kewang hesitated slightly, then sighed and spoke.

"The Emperor has passed away. This letter is the Emperor's request for me to handle all matters in the DPRK..."

The palace guard's eyes widened, he looked at Sun Kewang, and stammered.

"This, this, the general, the general, is the letter brought by the merchant trustworthy? Could it be that he is trying to trick the general..."

Sun Kewang looked at the palace guards and snorted coldly.

"The merchants are not so courageous yet. This letter should have been brought from Huangzhou Fucheng, and it is stamped with a jade seal. I guess that this letter should have been brought back by the emperor's guards who worked hard. They dare not return

I don't want to lose my life in vain, I'm afraid I will leave Chengdu after handing the letter to the merchant..."

When Zhang Xianzhong died, it was impossible for the palace guards around him to survive. If they returned to the court, they would also die. Therefore, these palace guards who desperately fled back to Chengdu must have left in a hurry after entrusting merchants to bring letters.

Sun Kewang had already believed the contents of the letter and believed that his father Zhang Xianzhong had passed away.

The strange thing is that there is no news about Li Dingguo, but the scouts have detected it. Li Dingguo led the army to Shaoguan to fight, while Zhang Xianzhong was stationed in Huangzhou Fucheng to command the battle. It is possible that Li Dingguo did not return to support Huangzhou Fucheng.

Sun Kewang had heard a little bit about the combat effectiveness of the Denglai New Army. They all said that the Denglai New Army's combat effectiveness was strong, at least not comparable to that of the Great Western Army. If a large number of Denglai New Army sergeants entered Huguang from Nanzhili and raided Huangzhou Fucheng, it would be relatively

easy.

Sun Kewang's face turned livid, and he walked to the wall in a few strides.

There is a map hanging on the wall. This map covers Sichuan, Huguang, Guangdong, Jiangxi and parts of southern Zhili.

When looking at the map, Sun Kewang took a breath of cold air.

Father Zhang Xianzhong led the army to fight in Huangzhou Fucheng. Very few people knew the news, and even fewer people in Chengdu Fucheng knew about it. Except for Sun Kewang, there were only three or five people. These people had been in Chengdu and were the ones Zhang Xianzhong trusted the most.

It is impossible for people to leak the news. As for Huangzhou Fucheng, the father Zhang Xianzhong secretly entered Huangzhou Fucheng. There are even fewer people who know the news. It is also impossible for the news to be leaked.

Zheng Chenggong led 100,000 sergeants to attack Huguang, and Gao Jie led 50,000 sergeants to attack Huguang. These two armies attacked Huguang, causing the situation in Huguang to become complicated. Zhang Xianzhong led the army to fight in Huguang, trying to completely defeat or even annihilate Zheng Chenggong and Gao Jie, and then launched an all-out attack.

In Zhejiang and Fujian, this arrangement is good, but why did the Denglai New Army enter Huguang to fight at this time and directly surrounded Huangzhou Fucheng?

Could it be that Emperor Wu Zongrui was an immortal and could seize such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

Sun Kewang didn't dare to think too much. There was one most critical question, or thought, that made him shudder.

There are 300,000 Daxi Army sergeants around Huangzhou Fucheng. If these 300,000 soldiers are completely defeated, then Denglai's new army is likely to attack Sichuan immediately. At that time, Sun Kewang, with 150,000 Daxi Army sergeants,

It's simply impossible to resist.

It is not feasible to flee into the mountains to hide. The Daxi imperial court has offended too many wealthy gentry households in Sichuan, as well as officials from the previous dynasty. Resistance forces are everywhere in Sichuan. If the Daxi army is in decline, many people will be hurt.

, at that time, Sun Kewang will be in a situation where there is no way to go from heaven to earth. He must completely stabilize the Daxi Army and the Daxi court in the shortest possible time.

When the palace guard beside him was about to speak again, Sun Kewang waved his hand.

"Needless to say, I suddenly encountered such a big thing, I want to think about it..."

Sun Kewang was self-aware. Since his father Zhang Xianzhong was killed by Denglai's New Army, he was no match for Denglai's New Army. Maybe by this time, Denglai's New Army was already on its way to Chengdu, Sichuan.

"General, I'd better summon the adults in the court to discuss the next step..."

Sun Kewang turned his head and glared at the palace guard.

"Don't be so anxious. I have to think carefully about how to deal with the current situation. Daxi Kingdom cannot collapse. This is also the main thing mentioned in the emperor's letter..."

The palace guard still did not leave and was about to speak again.

A hint of murderous intent appeared on Sun Kewang's face, which quickly disappeared.

"Okay, this happened so suddenly. I need to think about it seriously. The merchants outside can't stay. You send some guards to search in the city and be sure to find the person who sent the message. Once found, escort them directly to the main hall...
