After hearing that King Gongchang Bai Wenxuan was defeated and the Qing army's Wu Sangui's troops had approached Yongchang City, King Li Dingguo of Jin was worried that the Holy Lord would be in danger, so he immediately led more than 6,000 troops to Yongchang to protect the army. On the 28th, King Jin broke through the defense line of the Qing army's Hu Guozhu unit in the north of Yongchang City and rushed into Yongchang City. Knowing that Li Dingguo was personally leading the army, Wu Sangui did not dare to underestimate them, so he hurriedly ordered all troops to strengthen their vigilance and did not attack the city without obtaining the order of his military.

After receiving the report that the King of Jin led the army himself, Yongli was overjoyed and brought the Grand Secretary Fu Gang, Lei Yuelong, Chief Auxiliary Ma Jixiang and others to the city gate to greet him. Seeing the King of Jin Li Dingguo in military uniform and covered in dust, Emperor Yongli was excited and stepped forward and grabbed his hand tightly, and said tremblingly: "The King of Jin tells me the truth, are the Qing soldiers outside powerful? Do I still have the chance?"

Seeing the emperor's frightened look, Li Dingguo sighed in his heart and comforted Emperor Yongli, saying, "Don't worry, Master Yongchang is surrounded by Qing soldiers, but the road to the west has not been blocked. If things cannot be done, Master Xuan can go west." After saying that, he was afraid that Yongli would be worried, and said, "I personally lead the army to the palace as the emperor."

When he heard that Yongchang had not been surrounded and his way to the west was still there, and the King of Jin personally led his troops to serve as the rear of his palace, Yongli felt relieved, but in a blink of an eye, he was worried and said, "There will be no Qing soldiers lying in the west, right?"

The emperor's concern made the King of Jin silent. The whistle sting reported that in addition to Wu Sangui's troops and horses who besieged Yongchang, there were also troops led by Zhao Butai and Beile Shangshan, the generals of the Qing Dynasty's southern expedition. Now, only Wu Sangui's troops were seen outside Yongchang City, but no soldiers of Zhao Butai Shangshan. Therefore, Li Dingguo was worried that Wu Sangui might have deliberately left the gap in the west of the city to lure him to lead his army west, and sent Zhao Butai and other troops to ambush on the way. In that case, the way to the west would be extremely dangerous. However, even if Wu Sangui set up ambush on the way to the west, Li Dingguo had no other choice and could only grit his teeth and go west, because Yongchang City was no longer worthy of relying on the city. The Qing army besieged in the city had 40,000 to 50,000 people. The troops in the city and the six thousand soldiers he brought were only more than 10,000, and the troops on both sides were four or five times different.

It would be fine if the military strength alone was disparity. After all, the 6,000 soldiers led by King Jin were all following him for more than ten years, and his combat power was much stronger than Wu Sangui's army. The problem is that, together with the emperor, people were frightened in Yongchang City, and everyone was just thinking about escaping, so King Jin could not confront Wu Sangui with Yongchang. Now all he could do was send the Holy Driving out of Yongchang City. Only when the Holy Driving was not threatened could he start to deploy a decisive battle with the Qing army. Otherwise, his nose would always be led by the Qing army, and he would lose the other one.

"I have sent someone to explore it. There are no ambushes on the way to the west. The lord can pass with confidence."

Li Dingguo comforted Emperor Yongli as much as possible, hoping that he would not repeat the scene in Zhaoqing and abandoned all officials and fled.

Upon hearing this, Yongli finally felt relieved. In Yongchang these days, he was really scared day and night. He could dream that Wu Sangui led the Qing army into the city, and then dragged him outside the city to strangle him to death with bowstrings. Every time he woke up, he would cry silently when he looked at the empty room beside him. Why was his life so bad as the emperor? Should he really end the Ming Dynasty? Will he become another emperor who died after Chongzhen, Hongguang and Longwu?

Yongli was unwilling to give up. He thought he was no longer afraid of death. He thought he would work hard to do his best. But when the threat of death approached again and again covered his head, he still felt scared. He wanted to survive, even if he kept running and ran, he lived in fear for 365 days a year.

In this world, the only thing that can make him survive was King Jin Li Dingguo. Yongli believed in this, so he believed that King Jin did not deceive him, and the way west was really not dangerous.

Ma Jixiang also showed joy on his face. As long as the lord is not in danger, his assistant will be in danger. As long as the Emperor Yongli is in power for one day, he can be a powerful minister in the Ming Dynasty for a day. As for the rest, he dare not think about it, nor do he have so much time to think about it. The current team of followers is very satisfied with him. Those officials who always shout to kill him, the treacherous minister of the country, either ran away or were killed by the rioters. Although the remaining people were dissatisfied with him, at least no one dared to say bad things about his assistant in front of the emperor. Ma Jixiang attaches great importance to this.

Duke Mu Tianbo of Qian, Grand Secretary Lei Yuelong, Minister of Works, Wang Yinglong and others were silent, and did not show the joy of escaping because of King Jin's words.

The Grand Secretary Fu Gang suddenly asked, "King Jin, if the Holy Lord runs out of Yongchang territory, where will the Holy Lord wait for the King of Jin? What arrangements are there under the King of Jin?"

Li Dingguo thought for a moment and said, "The Holy Lord is going to Tengyue Prefecture for a while. King Gongchang and I have already planned to deploy an ambush in the Congshan Mountains of Tengyue Prefecture. If the ambush is successful, the Qing army will be unable to advance westward. Then I will take the Holy Lord back."

After hearing this, Fu Gang nodded and said nothing, but his eyes were inadvertently aiming at Ma Jixiang. Seeing this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but frown.

"It's good, it's good."

Yongli nodded repeatedly, satisfied with the arrangement of King Jin. Just as he was about to ask King Jin when he would ambush the Qing army, King Jin suddenly said to him in a deep voice: "After the priest goes to Tengyue Prefecture, no matter what happens, I would like to ask the priest to not go to Myanmar!"

"Go to Myanmar?"

Yongli was stunned, and Ma Jixiang's face also changed.

After being stunned, Yongli immediately expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, King Jin, you and the soldiers are in front of me to take my life. As the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, how could I abandon my country and flee?"

The emperor had already made a promise that no matter how credible the guarantee was, the King of Jin, as a subject, could not say anything more. At that moment, he asked the emperor to rest first and followed the officials to move out of the city. He went to the city to see the movements of the Qing army so that he could decide when to go out of the city.

King Jin is not only the Dinghai Ding Hai needle in Yongchang City, but also the pillar of the sky in the hearts of the court and Yongli. Therefore, Yongli and all the officials followed the instructions of King Jin and began to prepare for the trouble of leaving the city.

After the King of Jin brought his personal guards to the city, he saw that the Qing army outside the city had increased its vigilance and could not help but shake his head slightly. At this time, the sky was cloudless and clear, but the King of Jin was filled with sorrow. At some point, the Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo, suddenly came to King of Jin and said what he had wanted to ask before.

"The Holy Lord has no other way except for fleeing west?"

"The Qing army is powerful, and it is a death to be trapped in the city, and it is a death to escape from the city. If you die in the city, you have no other way to live. If you go west of the city, you may have a glimmer of life."

King Jin didn't hide much from Mu Tianbo, and directly said that there was only a glimmer of hope when he went to Mingxi.

Mu Tianbo thought for a while and said, "Does King Jin send someone to contact Dongchuan?"

The King of Jin nodded and said, "In the middle of Sichuan, I would like to ask the emperor to send a few internal supervisors to contact the Chief Wen, and ask the Chief Wen to come forward to contact the Thirteen Kuidong families and Santan and other soldiers to enter Chongqing west, so that the Qing army can retreat." Speaking of this, he remembered something and said, "Guangdong may also send people to contact him, after all, it is an elite soldier. If he can come to serve the king, the situation in Yunnan may change."

But Mu Tianbo shook his head and said, "It's hard."

"Disaster?"

King Jin looked at Mu Tianbo with some confusion.

Mu Tianbo sighed and said, "The King of Jin is unknown. When there was a turmoil a few days ago, a soldier general who claimed to be Duke of Guangdong robbed His Highness the Grand Princess. At that time, the Empress, the Eastern Palace, and the Queen Mother were there. The Empress asked those Duke of Guangdong to protect the soldiers, but the other party was unwilling to do so, so he only kidnapped His Highness the Grand Princess. The Emperor of the Emperor was furious when he knew about this. The Empress and the Empress were also very angry with Duke of Guangdong, saying that Duke of Guangdong was the same domineering traitor as Sun Kewang."

"There is still this?"

This was the first time that King Jin heard about this, and was very surprised. How dare the scholar's soldiers rob the princess instead of protecting him?

"Many people have seen this matter, and the Queen said it personally, and it is impossible to pretend." Mu Tianbo said.

"If this is true, the scholar has done something too much." King Jin shook his head and said with a little self-deprecating: "I am also in a hurry to seek medical treatment. I won't talk about Guangdong anymore. If they are willing to come, they can't save the near fire."

Mu Tianbo looked up at the Qingying outside the city and said a little melancholy: "I don't know if Mr. Guo contacted Na Song. If Na Song was willing to raise an army, the pressure on the King of Jin would be less."

Grand Secretary Guo Zhiqi went to Yuanjiang to contact the Tugong Na Song. The King of Jin heard about it. The emperor specially ordered the position of Na Song to be promoted to the position of governor of the General Office of Na Song and to govern Yunnan. The position of Yuanjiang was also appointed by his son Na Tao, and Na Song was appointed as General Zuming, and Na Song was appointed as General Huaiming. In addition, he also heard that Mu Tianbo sent his second son Mu Zhongliang to marry into the family. Thinking that Mu Tianbo's eldest son died in the Shadingzhou Rebellion, the second son Mu Zhongliang is now a single seed, but now he lets this single seed to marry into the family. Even if Mu Tianbo was cut off, the King of Jin couldn't help but sigh: "The Duke of the State is willing to let Zhongliang go."

Mu Tianbo smiled, then said seriously: "If Song can be told to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, why can't he bear to let go of a son? If the Ming Dynasty can revive, I would have to die a hundred times or a thousand times, and I wouldn't have any complaints about the King of Jin. I don't have to say anything about it. For the Ming Dynasty, does King of Jin pay less than I, Mu Tianbo?"

"I"

Thinking of his life, King Jin was a little lost in his mind and his nose was a little sour. Yes, he had paid too much for the Ming Dynasty in this life, but in the end, what did he get?

Outside the city, Wu Sangui was also a little lost.

"Na Song, the governor of Yuanjiang, and Na Tao, his son, led the alliance, colluded with the chieftains to use blood and drill swords. If they were not eliminated, the local area would be shaken. Mu Tianbo sent his wife to Yuanjiang Prefecture as a charity, and carried gold, silver and wealth to Yuanjiang, and asked Yuanjiang and Pu'er local officials to send troops from Lin'an, and waited for the troops to go out to fight, and then came to rob Yunnan."
