Chapter 793 King Jin, there is still a lot to do!

When Zhu Youlang begged for Wu Sangui like a dog, King Li Dingguo of Jin and King Bai Wenxuan of Gongchang were still trying to find a way to rescue him from the Burmese people. The two most loyal princes of the Ming Dynasty had no idea what happened in Myanmar. It was not until the ninth day after the "Sutra of Water" that the news spread from the Han people in Myanmar to the Ming Military.

Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan were shocked after hearing the news and felt that the situation was extremely urgent. The next step for the Burmese people either killed the emperor or handed the emperor to the Qing army. So they immediately advanced in different directions and carried troops across the river to attack the Burmese army with sixteen ships. However, because the Myanmar side was prepared and failed in the battle, five ships capsized in the river. As a last resort, the Ming army had to retreat to Dongwu.

The news of "The Difficulty of Cursing Water" has dispersed in the army, and the offensive failure has caused the morale of the army to be sluggish. When Li Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan discussed, they also felt like they were doomed. The two stood on the cliff and were speechless.

After a long time, Bai Wenxuan suddenly sighed and said to Li Dingguo Highway: "King of Jin, have we done right or wrong over the years?"

Li Dingguo was extremely sad and looked at the sky that was red with fire and clouds in front of him. His heart was also very painful.

"If we did the right thing, why did we lose again and again, and even the emperor was lost!" Bai Wenxuan punched the stone wall in pain, and a trace of blood dripped down his fist to the ground.

"We are not wrong. There were Lu Xiufu, Wen Tianxiang, and Zhang Shijie in the Southern Song Dynasty. There must be someone in the Ming Dynasty to last. When the country is destroyed, we Han family will always have a few people who sacrificed their country!" Li Dingguo suddenly laughed to the sky, "If we are wrong, it is that the heaven will bear us, and it is not us that the heaven will bear our heaven!"

Li Dingguo was tired, and he was seriously ill. He forced his troops to attack Myanmar to rescue the troops. At this moment, he could no longer support him. He was unstable and was about to fall down. Bai Wenxuan hurriedly supported him steadily and slowly let him go.

Li Dingguo's expression was very calm. He asked Bai Wenxuan: "Do you think, is it really God who istraying us?"

Bai Wenxuan cried, and he asked the prince of Jin Li Siye to take good care of King Jin and return to his camp. He never expected that at this moment, his generals Zhang Guoyong, Zhao Desheng and others were secretly discussing surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

"There are many people in this place. Now that we go deeper, the climate is even hotter. We must die. We would rather leave Yunnan than be a Burmese ghost."

Because the future was bleak and there was no hope of restoring the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Guoyong, Zhao Desheng and others decided to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Their subordinates followed them for a long time to fight on the Sino-Myanmar border, and their living and combat conditions were extremely difficult. When they heard the comments of the chief general, the morale of the army became even more shaken, and no one opposed it. So Zhang and Zhao ordered the soldiers to prepare their luggage at night, and then led their troops straight into Bai Wenxuan's tent, asking him to immediately leave Li Ding's troops and return them to Yunnan.

The sudden change made Bai Wenxuan know that something was wrong. He angrily scolded Zhang Guoyong and others for betraying the Lord and asking for honor.

Zhang Guoyong advised: "Your Highness, you know that a major event cannot be successful, but you still have to take us deep into the miasma. If we die here, we can't even keep a name. Why bother! We know that Your Highness will follow the King of Jin, but in the future your Highness will be another He Jiuyi! Please take us on a way out! Brothers really can't hold on! Your Highness!"

Zhang Guo said this to the hearts of many generals, and many people burst into tears on the spot.

Bai Wenxuan was also moved, but he did not decide to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He snorted and asked Zhang Guoyong and others, "What do you want?"

Zhang Guoyong said: "We still have so many officers and soldiers. If we go to Yunnan, why worry about not being valued?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Wenxuan smiled miserably: "What should the emperor do if you surrender to the Qing Dynasty?"

Zhang Guoyong replied decisively: "We have exhausted our efforts. This is God's will. We can't hold on!"

Bai Wenxuan insisted on refusing to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Guoyong and others immediately took Bai Wenxuan to horseback and marched for 70 miles overnight. In the early morning of the next day, Li Dingguo received a report that Bai Wenxuan's troops were not clear. He felt that the situation was serious, so he sent his son Li Sixing to lead troops to follow and observe the movements of Bai Wenxuan. He warned Li Sixing not to use force with Bai Wenxuan's troops, and he himself led the troops to follow up slowly.

Zhang Guoyong and Zhao Desheng were afraid that the commander Bai Wenxuan would be nostalgic for the old love, so they reconciled with Li Dingguo, so they deliberately asked Bai Wenxuan to take him to walk in front, and the two led their troops to cut off the rear. Five days later, the troops arrived at Heimenkan. Zhang Guoyong and Zhao Desheng saw Li Sixing's troops chasing him, so they discussed with the generals: "The Prince of Jin was anxious to step over me, and our army was tired and tired. Why not fight with the decisive battle on this mountain and let him return before they could advance."

All the generals had no objection, so Bai's troops rushed to seize the danger of the mountain, and arrows and cannons were fired. Li Sixing was furious and ordered his troops to climb the mountain to counterattack. At this moment, Li Dingguo arrived and asked Li Sixing to stop fighting immediately and not to kill Gongchang King's soldiers.

Li Sixing was unwilling to let Bai Wenxuan's soldiers go, and Li Dingguo said: "I had dozens of comrades in the Daxi Army back then, but today I was all dead. Only Wenxuan and I were left. How could we bear to be killed? Besides, since he decided to lead the army north to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he was also looking for his own way of life. I let you lead the army and follow you, just hope that Wenxuan will regret it and can join forces in this way. But now, I am afraid that it will not be possible. Let them go, we will do our own thing."

Li Dingguo ordered the more than 40 soldiers who were left behind by Wenxuan's troops on the way, and all of them were released. Later, the father and son led the troops of the headquarters back to Dongwu.

Bai Wenxuan's army continued to walk for three days, and on the way he met the three provincial departments of Wu who came from Meng Ding. All the horses in the Wu army camp had died, and the generals walked into Myanmar to seek a rendezvous with Li Dingguo despite the hardships.

Bai Wenxuan's conscience was unreliable and shed tears to Wu Sansheng: "I am betrayed the emperor and His Highness Jin! The general can lead the troops here, so that I can have the help of Taishan."

Wu Sansheng judged from the direction of Bai Wenxuan's marching, his subordinates were intended to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, so he deliberately threatened: "The surrendered people in Yunnan are resentful and not valued by the Qing Dynasty. People are clear-minded, so we came here on foot."

After hearing this, the soldiers under Bai Wenxuan were unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Guoyong and Zhao Desheng also considered their own future, worried that they would not be properly resettled after surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, so they no longer insisted on surrendering to Kunming.

Seeing that the army was stable, Bai Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief. When he was discussing with Wu Sansheng to go back to Dongwu and meet with King Jin, the officers and soldiers of the Wu army captured a detailed work. When the man saw Bai Wenxuan, he shouted that he was Wang Gongfu from Huizhou. He was ordered by King Feng Shuangli of Qingyang and came from Sichuan for thousands of miles, just to tell King Jin and King Gongchang of a great news that Nandu was liberated!

After hearing this, Bai Wenxuan, Wu Sansheng and others were shocked and disbelieved. Only when Wang Gongfu wrote to Feng Shuangli, the King of Qingyang, personally, everyone believed it. Thousands of soldiers were crying with joy. After Bai Wenxuan was surprised, he immediately drove his horse straight to Dongwu with Wu Sansheng. After a few days of continuous journey, he was only a death-dead horse. Seeing the Dingguo military camp from afar, Bai Wenxuan's people had not arrived, and he shouted: "King of Jin, there is something to do, and there is something to do!"
