In Kunming, Zhu Youlang, Emperor Yongli, who was still immersed in the good news of King Jin's defeat of Sun Kewang, was connected to several fierce letters on March 1. The three-way army of the Qing court attacked Guizhou from Sichuan, Hunan and Guangxi at the same time. Occupied by the Qing army, the three-way Qing army will invade Qianxi at any time, enter Yunnan, and directly attack Kunming.

In the direction of Sichuan, Wu Sangui and Li Guohan have already captured Chongqing. On March 25th, Wu Sangui's army advanced to Shitai Pass in Tongzi County, Guizhou. Shitaiguan Mountain is high and the road is narrow. The upper part is rubbed into the nine heavens, and the lower part falls into the abyss. But such a dangerous barrier was easily broken through by Wu Sangui's army. On the 30th, Wu Sangui's army occupied Zunyi, and guard Guo Liai led more than 5,000 soldiers to surrender. After occupying Zunyi, Wu Sangui sent Li Guohan to continue to lead his troops southwards, via Xifeng and Zhazuo to reach Guiyang Tongning Nanjing Kou General Luo Tuo to join forces. Li Guohan defeated Yang Wubu, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, in Kaizhou. Wu Sangui rested his troops and horses in Zunyi, recruited Guizhou officials in the south, Shuixi Xuanwei Si Ankun, Xiyang Xuanwei Si Ran Qiqiao, Xingning Bo Wang Xing and others successively surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing army from Guangxi, Gushan, Ezhen, Zhaobutai, joined forces with Xian Guoan and others and entered Guizhou immediately. They captured Dushan and Duyun, and occupied most of the counties east of Guiyang. In order to deal with the crisis in Guizhou, the Yongli court added officials to Tusi Luo Dashun, and asked him to lead troops to recover Qingping, Xintianwei, and commander Zhang Xianbi to counterattack Guiyang.

The Qing army of the central route in Hunan, led by General Luo Tuo of Ningnanjing, broke through the defense line of the Nanming army effortlessly, and occupied Guiyang on the 29th, and the governor of Nanming Anshun, Leng Meng, died in battle.

The three-way army of the Qing army went south at the same time, but the Ming army was defeated in the face. Under the lure of Sun Kewang, the Nanming army surrendered to the Ming army. There is hardly any resistance. The defense lines of Xiangxi, Sichuan and Guangxi, which had been stalemate with the Qing army for a long time, quickly disintegrated.

When the situation in Guizhou collapsed, Li Dingguo, the King of Jin who defeated Sun Kewang in Qujing, did not respond in time, and did not even make arrangements for deployment when the Qing army went south in February. On the contrary, in Kunming, he was able to seal down Sun Kewang's important generals.

Bai Wenxuan was appointed King Gongchang by Gong Guogong, Ma Jinzhong was appointed King Hanyang by E Guogong, Feng Shuangli was appointed King Qingyang by Xingguohou Jin, Ma Bao was appointed Duke Huaiguo from Anding Bojin, Ma Weixing was appointed Xuguo by Xingshan Bojin Gong and Jin Tongwu were named Marquis of Pingyang by Bojin of Pingyang, Qi Sansheng was named Marquis of Xianning by Bojin of Weining, Gao Wengui was named Marquis of Guangchang by Bojin of Guangchang, and the rest of the meritorious town generals were also promoted respectively.

Sun Kewang's subordinates Di Sanpin, Wang Hui, Zhang Guangcui and others were demoted by Li Dingguo on the charge of party attachment. Wang Ziqi, Zhang Mingzhi, and Guan Youcai, who were stationed in Chuxiong and Yongchang, once accepted Sun Kewang's secret orders. Prepare to invade Kunming. After Sun Kewang's defeat, Li Dingguo did not pardon them, in order to quickly stabilize the situation. Instead, he personally led the army to attack Xixi, captured Guan Youcai, and surrendered Zhang Mingzhi.

Li Dingguo returned to Kunming after a great victory. King Liu Wenxiu of Shu captured Sun Kewang's general Zhang Hu in Shuixi and ordered him to be sent to the provincial capital. Li Dingguo ordered Zhang Hu and Guan Youcai to be killed together. This made Sun Kewang's old division dissatisfied with Jin King, and people became more and more separated.

The King of Jin liquidated Sun Kewang's generals, but Emperor Yongli supported him, but he did not expect that while Li Dingguo cleaned up Sun Kewang's generals, he also had suspicions about Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu both enjoyed high prestige in the former Daxi Army. After the Ming Dynasty fought against the Qing Dynasty, the two defended themselves many times and commanded major battles. They also joined forces to welcome Yongli's entry into Yunnan and the Ding Sun Kewang rebellion. To sum up, Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, was inferior to Li Dingguo in military exploits, but in terms of stabilizing the situation and appeasing people's hearts. Liu Wenxiu did more than Li Dingguo.

After the Battle of Jiaoshui, Liu Wenxiu led troops to hunt down Sun Kewang, and at the same time, he also had the important task of stabilizing the situation in Guizhou, so that the Qing army would not take the opportunity to go south. Although Sun Kewang was not caught, Liu Wenxiu appeased more than 30,000 soldiers and generals under Sun Kewang in time and stabilized the situation in Guizhou.

After stabilizing the situation in Guizhou, Liu Wenxiu asked Emperor Yongli to move to Guiyang, so that the situation could be more stabilized. It also reflected the court's enterprising spirit, shocking the Qing army and not dare to persuade it rashly. Yongli agreed to this suggestion. The Ministry of Rites was ordered to set off on an auspicious day. I don't want King Li Dingguo of Jin to be very dissatisfied after learning the news when he was discussing Wang Ziqi, who was entrenched in Yongchang. In this way, Yongli was forced to give up and move to Guiyang. Yongli couldn't beat Li Dingguo, and he couldn't do without Li Dingguo, so he had to send someone Xishu to condolence, and he agreed to Li Dingguo's request to transfer all the subordinates of Yuan Sun Kewang, who guarded the towns of Chuanchu and Shoubian, back to Yunnan. The king of Shu, Liu Wenxiu, was also recalled. As a result, the front-line army lost its unified command, and people's hearts were immediately unstable.

After Li Dingguo returned to Kunming, he did not immediately arrange to enter Guizhou to defend against the deployment of the Qing army. Instead, he recruited soldiers from Jin and Qin, and adopted a discriminatory policy against the army of the army under Sun Kewang. Disappointing.

After Liu Wenxiu was recalled to Kunming, Emperor Yongli should have consoled him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked how Sun Kewang escaped?

Liu Wenxiu replayed: "At that time, when Sun Kewang was defeated, I didn't expect him to take a small road. The minister brought a lot of soldiers and only chased it from the main road. When he went to Panjiang and asked, the bridge soldier said: "I have never been here. I knew that I would run away on a small road. I had to chase down the main road, and I could only be dissatisfied with a hundred people right away, and horses could be replaced everywhere. He didn't say that he was defeated, so who should not accept it? When he arrived in Guizhou, Feng Shuangliyun has been gone for four days. If he is to send troops to chase him again, he will be out of reach, and hopefully he will be able to escape."

Yongli was silent for a long time before he said: "If you can't catch him, it's not appropriate to chase him in the past. If you can't catch him now, and if you throw back the revolt, you may be afraid that the disaster in southern Yunnan will not be far away."

Liu Wenxiu knew that he was inferior to Li Dingguo in Yongli's heart, and the emperor couldn't listen to his opinion, so he was very distressed and said to people in private: "If you retreat from the wolf and enter the tiger, the King of Jin will lose the country."

After being deprived of military power, Liu Wenxiu became increasingly passive. As soon as he went up to the Japanese side, Changchao never went to the palace, and he did not leave the house for a single step. He only handed over all military and horse affairs to the **** Chen Jian. Soon he fell ill and became bedridden. Both Yongli and Li Dingguo went to visit him. They comforted him again and again and sent a doctor to treat him.

When Liu Wenxiu was ill. Wu Sangui was stationed in Zunyi, Roto was stationed in Guiyang, and Zhao Butai was stationed in Dushan and Duyun. The Qing army had already joined forces, but the main force of the Ming army was still in Yunnan. At this time, even if Li Dingguo's army marched north, it would be difficult to turn the tide of the battle.

The straight-line deterioration of the situation made Yongli feel at a loss, and he cried to the queen. The palace staff were too frightened to enter, and Zhu Shuyi, the county master, did not dare to enter, but he vaguely heard what the emperor was saying "I'm afraid there is no hope for Daming Jiangshan."

The gaffe of the emperor's nephew made the county master of Changle feel uneasy. She thought of the scene in Guangzhou ten years ago, and she immediately felt like a boat in danger in the vast sea, as long as there was a wave. It will collapse immediately.

In the inner hall, Zhu Youlang tightly closed his lips, his face was ashen, and his bloodshot eyes stared at his feet motionlessly. of fear. He looked at the quivering candle flame beside the imperial case, and suddenly had a thought: Could he be like this candle flame that is about to burn out and flickering? Thinking of this, he moved uneasily, and the candlelight cast his swaying figure on the golden walls with peeling paint. Queen Wang on one side saw her husband like this. It is also sadness that comes from the heart, and somehow the situation has suddenly become so corrupt, and I only hope that the King of Jin, who has led his army north to Guizhou, can show his bravery again. Protect the Daming River and Mountains, and prevent her and her husband from being displaced again.

At this time, Li Dingguo, who was hundreds of miles away, was as anxious as Yongli and couldn't sleep all night. He had already led his army to Heishidu, Guizhou, and was ready to meet the Qing army of Wu Sangui's army, but the Qing army suffered heavy damage to Li Dingguo's army.

In the battle of Heishidu, Wu Sangui's army was victorious, Li Dingguo lost nearly 10,000 people, and his general Liu Tai died in the battle. Wu Sangui's army also lost more than 4,000 people. After losing the first battle, Li Dingguo Xingye led his troops to retreat to Qixingguan.

Wu Sangui won the first battle. The arrogance is even more arrogant, in order to rob the country's head. He ordered the army to immediately kill Qixingguan. The dust stirred up by the tens of thousands of Qing troops was like a yellow fog that covered the sky and covered the sky and covered the green mountains and waters, blue sky and white clouds.

The complacent Wu Sangui kicked off the shiny black horse, and the horse dashed forward like a gust of wind. In a blink of an eye, King Pingxi rushed to the front of the Qing army brigade, so that all the Qing troops could see the figure of the commander.

Under the leadership of Wu Sangui, the cavalry of the Qing army let go of their horses' hooves, and the infantrymen stretched their legs and rushed forward desperately. The twilight is vast, the mountains are pale, and the mountains and peaks of Qixingguan are gradually shrouded in the night, turning into a swarthy darkness.

For two days in a row, a steady stream of Qing troops, three floors inside and three floors outside, surrounded Qixingguan like an iron barrel. During the day, the soldiers are like ants, and at night there is a bonfire and candlelight.

In the middle of the night on April 13th, after several **** battles, the Qing army was exhausted. They lit bonfires all over the mountain and rested for trivial matters. The bonfires on the four sides of the mountain illuminate the dangerous mountains near Qixingguan like daytime.

King Li Dingguo of Jin wore a black satin cloak like a stone sculpture and stood motionless on the wall of Qixingguan. The **** battle for days made him red-eyed. Although the Qing army was repelled after repeated attacks, how could he be trapped in a solitary pass for a long time?

Looking at the Qing army with lights all over the mountains and fields, Li Dingguo felt like a huge rock that could not be lifted. If Qixingguan falls again, the Qing army will drive straight into Yunnan, and Kunming may not be able to hold it!

At this time, Li Dingguo had already regretted in his heart, whether he should have missed the fighter plane, whether he should recall the front-line generals, and whether he should recall the king of Shu, which caused the situation in Guizhou to collapse in a short time. Regret is useless, all he can do is fight to the end.

After dawn, there was another battle, which continued until dusk. Although the Ming army continued to be brave, the forage, wood, arrows, and rolling stones in the camp had all been used up. Taking advantage of the break in the battle, the Ming army was rushing to repair the collapsed battlements and fortified walls in the south. Li Dingguo also led his troops to inspect, and suddenly a personal soldier ran up and shouted, "Your Highness! Tartars are here again!"

Following this shout, Li Dingguo looked up and saw that the Qing army who had really been shut down took advantage of the night to swarm over, shouting and swarming.

Does Wu Sangui really deceive this king? Does he really think that this king is easy to deal with!

An uncontrollable anger rushed to the top of Li Dingguo's head. He turned his head and shouted at the personal soldier who had just shouted: "This is not the first time that the enemy soldiers have not become three heads and six arms. Why are you panicking!"

As he said that, he shouted at the slightly nervous soldiers around him: "What are you looking at, it's not singing! Soldiers will block, water will flood the earth! All the arrows and beating stones are ready, as long as the Qing army rushes up, Hit me hard!"

After he finished speaking, Li Dingguo pulled the knife out. Seeing that the commander had no fear, the soldiers all felt courageous and strong, and they occupied the sides of the crenels, some took arrows to aim, some lifted stones, and set up the wood. One by one, they gritted their teeth, and the muscles on their cheeks were bulging, waiting for the Qing army to approach.

This attack of the Qing army was the most powerful one since the attack. The commander was Hu Guozhu, a general under Wu Sangui. All the Qing army rushed forward with knives and guns, shouting wildly, wishing to engulf Qixingguan.

"Fire arrows!"

Li Dingguo drew his sword and roared. As soon as the military order came out, the wood, rolling stones, gray bottles, and flying arrows on the city wall poured down the gate like a torrential rain. Among the Qing army, mourning erupted, and more than half of the front team fell under the rain of wood and stone arrows, but before the Ming army could pick up the arrows again, the Qing army in the rear row had no scruples. The ground swarmed to Guanxia~www.NovelMTL.com~ and set up the ladder in an instant.

Li Dingguo was in a hurry, he threw the cloak on his body, and regardless of the blocking of his personal soldiers, he rushed to a cloud ladder, and in an instant, he overturned the cloud ladder. Several Qing soldiers had already climbed up the city wall. Seeing that King Jin was in danger, the soldiers behind him followed closely. The few Qing soldiers who rushed to the pass, before they could stand firm, were killed by a whirlwind of the Ming army, and they fell down screaming. At this time, reinforcements came, and the ladders of the Qing army were overthrown. The Qing soldiers who rushed to the city wall were outnumbered and were cut down.

The Qing army's attack lasted for more than an hour and was finally repelled, but many soldiers of the Ming army also fell in a pool of blood.

In the middle of the night, Li Dingguo was lying on a reclining chair brought over by his personal soldiers. He looked out to the mountains outside Guanzhai through the moonlight. Outside Guanzhai, countless fires stretched for several kilometers in front of the Guan, and he could hardly see the edge. . The Qing army was strong and strong, and its strength was several times his own. Li Dingguo frowned, knowing that the Qixingguan could not be defended any longer.

On April 16, King Li Dingguo of Jin returned to Yunnan from Qixingguan in Guizhou, and the whole territory of Guizhou was occupied by Qing troops. After learning that Li Dingguo had withdrawn from the army, Doni, who was still watching from Hunan, immediately led an army into Guizhou. (To be continued.)
