Chapter 928
"Slowly! Let's see who dares to go!" Just as Sun Kewang gave the order to expel guests, he heard someone roar behind him. Sun Kewang turned around and saw that it was Li Dingguo who was calling. "Second brother, what are you doing?" Sun Kewang said angrily.
Li Dingguodao: "Brother, Duke Chu is the benefactor of our Daxi Army, you can't treat him like this."
Sun Kewang sneered: "It is precisely because Duke Chu is our benefactor that I just drove him away. If it weren't for the benefactor, I would have ordered my brothers to rush up and chop him up!"
Li Dingguo advised: "Brother, the Duke of Chu represents the orthodox Chongzhen. We are not cooperative with the orthodox Ming Dynasty, but cooperate with the Yongli pseudo-DPRK? What's more, Duke of Chu has been kind to us and he has come from thousands of miles to recruit us. Why don't we take the opportunity to surrender to him?"
Sun Kewang sneered and said, "What are the benefits of our cooperation with the orthodox? Chongzhen has the elite troops of Duke of Chu in his hands, so he can still use us? Yongli is short of soldiers and major generals, so we will go over there. They will definitely be granted the title of Duke and Marquis, or even the title of Kings! Why should we go to Chongzhen to live a life of living under someone else's roof?"
Seeing that the eldest and second brothers were arguing endlessly, one said that they would drive people away, and the other did not allow them to drive people away. The soldiers were at a loss for a moment. Just as Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang were arguing endlessly, Li Guodong's team had already arrived.
"Li Guodong is here to meet all the brothers of the Daxi Army!" Li Guodong rode on his horse and bowed his hands to the Daxi Army officers and soldiers in front.
When they saw that the people had arrived, the soldiers of the Western Army were at a loss and didn't know what to do.
When Li Dingguo heard the voice, he rode his horse and rushed straight to Li Guodong, turned over and dismounted, and knelt on one knee to salute Li Guodong: "Dingguo meets Duke of Chu!"
Li Guodong also quickly dismounted and helped Li Dingguo up with his own hands: "Get up quickly, Jiannu invades Xichuan, your Daxi Army paid a significant price to fight Jiannu. Li admires your national integrity!"
"Duke of Chu, although our Daxi Army won one game, it's a pity that my adopted father was attacked by Jiannu and died tragically under Jiannu's poisonous arrow." Li Dingguo said with red eyes.
Li Guodong pulled Li Dingguo and said, "I know who killed General Zhang. The murderer who killed General Zhang was named Zhao Liangdong. Li was also deeply saddened by General Zhang's misfortune. Please rest assured, brothers, Li will definitely take Zhao Liangdong's head to avenge General Zhang!"
Liu Wenxiu, who arrived in time, said: "Uncle Li, I just hope that you can capture Zhao Liangdong alive and let us brothers cut this thief with their own hands to avenge our adopted father!"
Li Guodong said, "Okay! I promise you that as long as you can capture this thief alive, Li will do his best! If you cannot capture it alive, you can only bring your head to you."
"As long as Uncle Li can avenge this great revenge for our adoptive father, I will be grateful to you!" Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu and Aineng said in unison.
Li Guodong asked, "Do you still want to go south to Yunnan?"
Ainengqi said: "Our elder brother said we would take our brothers to Yunnan, and we would rest in Yunnan and send troops everywhere to avenge our foster father."
"Yunnan is currently the territory of the pseudo-Yongli Emperor. Do you all think that after you go to Yunnan, you can send troops to Sichuan?" Li Guodong asked.
Li Dingguo said sadly: "Uncle Li and my nephew also think it is impossible, so he strongly opposed it. Unfortunately, my elder brother didn't listen to the advice, so we brothers were powerless."
"Let your elder brother come to see me." Li Guodong said.
"I'm here!" Sun Kewang had already arrived. He turned over and got off the horse and knelt in front of Li Guodong on one knee. "Duke, I don't know if you are here in person. I'm so negligent. I hope the Duke is very tolerant and forgive me."
Li Guodong asked, "General Sun, are you insisting on leading your army south, but you want to join the pseudo-Yongli court?"
After Li Guodong told him his thoughts, Sun Kewang had no choice but to admit his thoughts: "Duke, my nephew does have such an idea. You must not hide it from the Duke of China. You said that I think that there are elites like Duke of China in Chongzhen, and we will not be reused even if we go there. Therefore, my nephew decided to go to Emperor Yongli, which may give my brothers a better future."
Li Guodong laughed: "General Sun, the pseudo-Yongli Emperor was beaten like a betrayed dog by the Duke. He threw himself away in Guangzhou first and fled in a panic. If you follow them, what should you and our army do when they encounter it on the battlefield in the future? Wouldn't that force us to kill each other?"
Sun Kewang said: "If there was really one day, Sun would definitely not go to war with the Duke of the State."
"General Sun, you'd better not go there. Go there. One day, the pseudo-Yongli Emperor is defeated. Where can you go?" Li Guodong asked.
Sun Kewang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't find any words to deal with it.
Li Dingguo took the opportunity to persuade: "Brother, Duke Chu has come here from thousands of miles away to help us. Why doesn't he agree?"
Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi and others also took the opportunity to persuade each other. In the end, Sun Kewang had no choice but to order the two armies to join forces. After the two sides met, Li Guodong asked Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo's army to set up camp on the spot before stopping.
There is a relatively open territory here, which is just right for the two armies to set up camps.
Although Sun Kewang did not want to join Li Guodong, his three younger brothers opposed joining Yongli. Moreover, Li Guodong came from afar and was a guest. Sun Kewang did not dare to neglect it. He ordered the stove to cook, and even asked someone to prepare a table of wine and food.
After dark, the tent of the Central Army of the Daxi Army was brightly lit. Sun Kewang sat on the main seat in the middle. Li Guodong was a guest, sitting on the left side of the main table, Li Dingguo sat on the right side, and Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi were behind. The banquet in the army was a table for each person, each serving dishes independently, with a classical flavor. Hao Yaoqi, Han Dashan and others brought by Li Guodong also sat on a table.
At the beginning of the banquet, Li Guodong proposed a condition that the Great Western Army could not resist: "Everyone, now the murderer Zhao Liangdong, who killed General Zhang, is in Chengdu. Haoge has retreated his troops and returned to the capital. Li can help you with one armies to regain Chengdu, kill Zhao Liangdong, and avenge General Zhang! If Zhao Liangdong is killed, I hope you can join forces with our army to attack Jiannu together!"
Li Guodong's condition made the Western Army irresistible at all. Even Sun Kewang, who had always been unwilling to cooperate with Li Guodong, dared not say anything more. Could he still say that he would not avenge Zhang Xianzhong?
