Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 911
In the disputes among the four countries in the world, Sun Kewang has the least power, and a weak country survives in the eyes of a powerful country. When facing a big country, it can only implement a big strategy, or between Qi and Chu. Provoking any strong side is undoubtedly a problem. The act of courting death.

This kind of diplomatic strategy was particularly active during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and allowed many small countries to survive for decades or even centuries.

But having said that, the implementation of the above strategy is actually nothing more than a continuation of life, which is tantamount to completely handing over life to the hands of a big country.

This is obviously not the national policy that Sun Kewang wants to adopt. How could his ambition be content with being the lord of a small country?
After Sun Kewang integrated Yunnan, he began to encroach on the land of the Ming Dynasty. It can also be seen from this that he is not a person waiting to die.

The threat in Zhang Xianzhen's words really pinched Sun Kewang's seven inches. The Western Army was indeed afraid that the Ming Army would dispatch the main force, but it was obviously impossible to withdraw troops because of fear.

If he retreated today because of a few threats, then when the Ming army came to Yunnan in the future, would he have to sacrifice land and vote?
Sun Kewang was a politically wise man, he knew that he could not completely anger the Ming Dynasty and prevent the Ming Dynasty from dealing with him with all its strength, but it was obviously impossible for him to just retreat without taking anything.

The Western Army can now threaten Guizhou and cooperate with the Jin Army to attack the Ming Army on both sides. This is his capital and chips. If he wants him to take a step back, the Ming Dynasty has to exchange things.

Even if he can't get Guizhou this time, Sun Kewang will also take the west of Guizhou and several state capitals on the border between Guangxi and Yunnan.

His strategy of developing strength without completely angering the Ming Dynasty can be said to be no different from walking a tightrope and playing with fire.

Sun Kewang's gloomy face changed, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Zhang Tongzhi is good at eloquence, but with just a few words like this, he wants me to retreat. Does he look down on our Great Western Army?"

Zhang Xianzhen naturally knew that it was impossible to frighten Sun Kewang away, if he could be frightened away by frightening, Sun Kewang would not rebel.

The purpose of his threatening words was to let Sun Kewang know the consequences of completely offending the Ming Dynasty, and let him weigh it before negotiating.

Hearing the change of his address and Sun Kewang's words, Zhang Xianzhen knew that it was time to negotiate.

"General Sun was joking. With just a few words, it is naturally impossible to make General Sun retreat. What I say is just to let General Sun see the pros and cons before thinking about it!" Zhang Xianzhen clasped his hands and laughed.

"Could it be that there is something wrong with the orphan's ear? Why did you only hear Zhang Tongzhi's threat from the beginning to the end, but did not see the pros and cons?" Sun Kewang asked strangely.

When Sun Kewang said this, he meant to talk about it. After hearing this, the generals of the western army became anxious immediately. Many people died, and Annanwei was about to be taken down. How could they give up halfway?
"This may be unclear."

At this time, Zhang Xianzhen would not fight with him anymore, and took the initiative to give in a little, so that Sun Kewang would have a better life in front of his subordinates.

"In particular, I said before that Commander Li asked me to persuade General Sun to retreat, and it was indeed for General Sun's consideration." Zhang Xianzhen clasped his fists and said: "The first thing is that the [-] elite soldiers of Governor He are still in Guiyang, and the chieftains from all over Guizhou We are dispatching troops to Annanwei, and your army may not be able to occupy Guizhou. Second, it will annoy the Ming Dynasty and cause a large army to attack, which is not good for your army. Third, King Daxi died at the hands of Hauge, and it is inevitable that General Sun will cooperate with the enemy It will make the elderly of your army centrifugal and cause the army's morale to be unstable."

He Tengjiao’s 2 old man has not yet joined Sichuan, which shocked the generals of the Western Army in the camp. They watched He Tengjiao transfer 2 people to support Sichuan before entering Guizhou. The picture shows Guizhou Empty, why haven't [-] people left yet?
What's going on with this Granny He?Everyone in the tent was a little surprised.

The few things Zhang Xianzhen said were true, and Sun Kewang was naturally aware of these drawbacks. When he heard that the 2 people transferred by He Tengjiao were still in Guizhou, he couldn't help but frowned, but then he was overjoyed.

If he wanted to attack Guizhou, the 2 Ming troops were in Guiyang, which made it more likely that he would attack Guizhou. , is a good thing.

He Tengjiao's [-] did not enter Sichuan, probably because he attacked Guizhou. Now Sichuan must be waiting for reinforcements before sending Zhang Xianzhen over. Then his bargaining chip to withdraw the troops will be even heavier.

"Zhang Tongzhi has been talking about the disadvantages for a long time. What are the advantages?" Sun Kewang suddenly smiled, "It seems that I have to bring it up myself! State, Sicheng Mansion, Si'en Mansion, Zhen'an Mansion, Taiping Mansion in Guangxi, and Qinzhou in Guangdong have to be handed over to Gu Lai for management!"

Zhang Xianzhen mentioned that He Tengjiao wanted Sun Kewang to realize that it was not easy for the western army to attack Guizhou, but he did not expect that Sun Kewang changed his mind and thought that Sichuan urgently needed reinforcements. If he did not retreat, Granny He would not dare to send troops into Sichuan. In this way, the Ming army can be blackmailed to the maximum extent.

This time, the Western army was taking advantage of the fire to loot. If the Ming army could give him enough conditions, it is not impossible for him to retreat.

The place Sun Kewang wanted was almost a province, and he also wanted Qinzhou, so that he had an outlet to the sea from the inland land.

The negotiation was to raise the price on the ground and pay back the money on the spot, but Sun Kewang was too arrogant to speak up. Besides, the threat of the Western Army to Guiyang and Guangdong did not decrease, but increased greatly, and He Tengjiao's people became even more serious. I dare not move.

It was Zhang Xianzhen who threatened Sun Kewang just now, but now it is Sun Kewang who blackmailed the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Xianzhen's expression sank when he heard this, "General Sun thinks that the next Tongzhi can decide on such a condition?"

"If Zhang Tongzhi can't make a decision, he can wait for the Ming Dynasty to send someone to discuss it!" Sun Kewang said with a smile.

Sichuan couldn't afford to send someone to talk. Zhang Xianzhen saw the strange smile on Sun Kewang's face, and suddenly reacted.

For a moment, Zhang Xian's heart sank and his face turned pale. Seeing this, Sun Kewang couldn't help smiling, but Zhang Xianzhen suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "General Sun, if this matter drags on, let's not talk about our grudges. Moreover, both parties will have nothing to gain, and they will only benefit Hauge. I have limited authority, and you can’t make a decision under other conditions, so I simply stated the plan agreed by Governor Fan, and we will give up southern and western Sichuan. In exchange, Sun The general must withdraw from Guizhou."

Sun Kewang didn't expect that Zhang Xianzhen would show all his hole cards at once, which caught him off guard, and when he heard Zhang Xianzhen's conditions, the word "to survive by cutting off the tail" suddenly appeared in his mind.

When Qin attacked South Korea and South Korea was defeated, the governor of Shangdang in South Korea dedicated the Shangdang that Qin State wanted to Zhao State, causing Zhao State to intervene in the war, which triggered the Battle of Changping.

Before Wang Yan gave up Hanzhong to Zhang Xianzhong, which triggered the Hanzhong War between the Western Army and the Qing Army, it is basically the same idea as the current surrender of southern and western Sichuan.

For a moment, the smile on Sun Kewang's face disappeared, and his brows immediately frowned.
