This book is an overview historical work based on the famous setting party member and setting of the trap king Zao Sangxiong. I hope everyone likes it.

On May 16, 1645, it was already the first update. The streets in Xiangyang were already quiet, and the streets were uninhabited. At the important street entrances, soldiers wearing iron armor stood, checking the pedestrians passing by occasionally. Red or white paper lanterns were hung outside the gates of every household, and the lights were dim and swaying under the eaves. Under the faint light, you can see large pieces of martial law notices posted on the walls of each street entrance. In the narrow and long streets and alleys, there were often updaters carrying small lanterns, beating broken gongs or gongs. The shrunk shadows appeared and disappeared into the darkness. The slow, listless gongs or gongs gradually faded away in the wind.

On the city wall, Li Guo looked at the sky in the north, and bursts of cannon sounds came from that direction. It was the Shun army of Dengzhou that was resisting the pursuit of the Tartars. His brows were frowning on his straight forehead, and almost formed a "chuan" shape on his forehead, with a worried and solemn expression. Even the most favored personal soldiers beside him held their breath at this time, for fear of making a strange noise, alarming the main general who was thinking.

A messenger rushed up from under the city wall, knelt down on one leg in front of Li Guo, and whispered: "Governor, there is an urgent edict in the imperial court. Your Majesty summoned him!"

"Well, I'll go there right away!" Li Guo's brow jumped slightly. Since the Battle of Tongguan in the first month of this year, the Dashun army has been defeated continuously and retreated from Xi'an to Hubei. Emperor Dashun Li Zicheng was also injured by arrows and was seriously injured. Compared with the situation when the army conquered Beijing in the east last year, the situation in the country is completely different.

"Governor, there is the palace in front of you, let's get off the horse!" The general on the side saw the bright yellow lantern at the corner in front - the sign of the Emperor Dashun's walking, and hurriedly reminded in a low voice.

"Well, so fast!" Li Guo seemed to have just woken up from his sleep, and widened his eyes in surprise and looked at the lantern not far away. After a moment, he jumped off his war horse, sorted out his military uniform, and quickly walked towards the distance.

A short man came up to him. This person was Song Xiance, the founding military advisor of Dashun. He grabbed Li Guo's forearm and whispered: "Hao! Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. Go in quickly!"

"How is Your Majesty now?" Li Guo asked in a low voice, expressing his worries. Song Xiance did not answer his question directly, but pulled his sleeve hard and speeded up his pace. Seeing the other party's performance, Li Guo's mood immediately became heavy. He quickly walked through the yard twice and saw more than ten people standing or sitting in the inner courtyard, all of whom were the core figures of Dashun at this time, all of whom were anxious. When Li Guo saw him, he was about to come forward to greet him, but Song Xiance pulled and bowed to everyone: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty is summoned!" As he spoke, he pushed Li Guo into the house with all his pulls and pulls.

"Your Majesty!" When Li Guo saw Emperor Dashun Li Zicheng leaning on the couch, he couldn't help but feel sore and kneel down. The uncle who raised himself, taught him to bend his bow and shoot arrows, and marched and fought now looked haggard, with his cheeks concave, his eyes deep, and he was already thin and disfigured.

"Get up, get up quickly, they are all my family!" Li Zicheng struggled to sit up, but his injuries had seriously weakened his originally very strong physical strength. If Mrs. Gao had not supported him, he would have almost fallen off the bed. Li Guo, who was kneeling on the ground, was so scared that he hurried forward to support him.

Li Zicheng finally lay back on the couch with the help of Li Guo and Mrs. Gao. After a while, his rapid breathing gradually calmed down and he asked in a low voice: "What is the movement of Donglu?"

Li Guo's face immediately became solemn. After pondering for a moment, he replied in a low voice: "The Eastern Barbarians are very sharp. They are in Dengzhou, Chengtian and De'an for several battles. Our troops are unable to win, and the soldiers are losing a lot!"

The house suddenly became silent. The place names mentioned by Li Guo were important strongholds near Xiangyang, only more than a hundred miles away from Xiangyang. If the cavalry attacked within one night, it could be imagined.

"Then how do you think you should defend against the enemy?" Li Zicheng asked in a low voice.

"Your Majesty!" Li Guo took a deep breath and said, "Xiangyang, Chengtian, De'an, and Jingzhou's four prefectures have been in operation for more than a year and have a foundation. The Tatars have been driving for thousands of miles, which is conducive to quick battles but not long-lasting. Now Your Majesty has 130,000 troops in the camp, Xiangyang, Chengtian, De'an, and Jingzhou's four prefectures have 70,000 troops. They do not worry about not having many troops, but the battle is not good. The soldiers are afraid of the Eastern Captains and are just angry. In view of the last general, they should use the Third General and the General Bai to defend Xiangyang and transfer the baggage to Jingzhou. Your Majesty leads elite troops to guerrillas outside and fight against the bandits. Although the Eastern Captain's troops are sharp, they cannot last long. As long as they persist for more than a month, the situation of the battle will turn around!"

Li Zicheng frowned after listening to Li Guo's suggestion. After a while, he replied in a low voice: "The Eastern Barbarians' troops are extremely sharp and they have red-clothed cannons. Now the northwest has been lost, and the southeast cannot be lost again. There are tens of thousands of ships in Wuchang. It is better to join the army and go down the Yangtze River to get all the southeast and fight with the Tatars again. What do you think?"

"No!" Li Guo was shocked when he heard this: "Your Majesty, Xiangyang, Chengtian, De'an, and Jingzhou are the southeast barriers. How could there be any loss of Jingzhou and Jiangnan? Besides, most of the soldiers under my command are from Jingzhou. If Your Majesty abandons the land of the four palaces, they will inevitably disintegrate. At that time, they will be enemies everywhere, and I am afraid I will regret it!"

When Li Zicheng heard his nephew and his most trusted general objected, he couldn't help but feel angry. He was about to have an attack, but he felt dizzy and almost fainted. When others saw this, they were shocked and exclaimed repeatedly, calling the doctor over and dealing with it for a long time before he woke Li Zicheng up. Li Zicheng, who woke up, smiled bitterly and said, "Look at me like this, I don't know how long it will take. Today I'm not to call you for anything else, but for me, but someone will continue to carry the big flag after I fell down!"

"Your Majesty!" Li Guo was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said anxiously: "Your Majesty is prosperous in spring and autumn, but I feel bad when I am resting for a while. After a long life, I will pass on my descendants. I will forgive my uncle for not being able to follow me if I die!"

"Haohou, how can you be the young master in this troubled autumn? You are my nephew. In terms of bloodline, no one in the army is closer than you. In terms of prestige, you are no less than others. If I am gone, who else can inherit the great cause and expel the captives?" Speaking of this, Li Zicheng suddenly turned black in front of him, and his half of his body leaning on the brocade mat slowly slid down. Li Guo hurried forward to support him, and Lian Sheng shouted, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

The few people in the room were busy for a long time, and Li Zicheng woke up slowly. Li Guo smiled bitterly and said, "Look at me, don't you follow the order?"

Li Guo looked at Li Zicheng's faded face, took a step back, lifted up his robe, knelt down at his knees, kowtowed three times, and said in a deep voice: "I obey the order!"

Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction. Seeing this, Song Xiance, who was standing beside him, quietly walked out of the house. After a while, more than a dozen core civil and military ministers of Shunchao who had just been waiting outside came into the house. Li Zicheng summoned Li Guo to his side and whispered: "I am seriously injured and unable to deal with state affairs. We should wait for the major military affairs. If so, we will succeed to the position of Emperor Dashun!"

There was silence in the room. After a while, Gao Yigong was the first to kneel down to Li Zicheng and Li Guo. Everyone bowed and said in unison: "I obey the order!"

The next morning, Emperor Taizu of Dashun, Li Zicheng, died. His nephew, waited for Li Guo to ascend the throne, and later generations called him Taizong. On the day Li Guo ascended the throne, he immediately sent 6,000 elite troops to counterattack Dengzhou, defeated the vanguard of the Eastern Barbarians, and won 300 armored horses, 120 horses, burned his granaries and returned. It is known in history as the first battle of Zhongxing!

Looking at the rain outside the tent, Ajige was in a bad mood. As the twelfth son of Emperor Taizu Nurhaci, after the Qing army entered the pass and pacified the Northern Zhili, he led Wu Sangui, Shang Kexi and others as General Jingyuan, leading the army from Shanxi to Shaanxi, pursuing the Shun Army, and winning consecutive victories. However, he suffered some losses not long ago under the city of Xiangyang. The vanguard who first captured Dengcheng was counterattacked by the Shun Army, not only lost Dengzhou, but also suffered many casualties. In the following battle, although he invested heavily in heavy troops, the Shun Army changed its previous situation of fleeing and arriving.

The resistance was very determined, and he pursued the march too quickly. The red-clothed cannon fell behind. After capturing several key points outside Xiangyang City, he could only do anything to face the thick walls of Xiangyang City. He had been in the city of Xiangyang for more than a month. The rains in recent days made the Eight Banners elite soldiers who were used to the dry and cold climate outside the border suffered an epidemic. Many horses died of illness because they ate a lot of weeds and did not take care of them. When they thought of these, he felt that the two blue veins on his forehead were constantly pounding, and his temples were about to explode.

"General, the red-clothed cannon has arrived in Dengzhou! You can reach Xiangyang in three days." A Goshha quickly walked behind Ajige and whispered.

"Okay!" Ajig growled excitedly. The sudden good news made him pace back and forth in the tent. The Goshha, who he liked very much, saw that his master was in a good mood and advised carefully: "The servant will go back and let the artillery team go on the way, and transport the red-clothed cannon to the camp as soon as possible!"

"No!" Although Azige had a very irritable temper, he went to war with his father Nurhaci at the age of twelve and had a lot of military experience.

"It's raining for days now, and the road is slippery, which is not suitable for my cavalry to surround me. If the artillery team is transported, I'm afraid that the thieves will find out and escape and will not be able to catch up. It's better to let the artillery team stay in Dengzhou first, wait until the rain stops, and the road is dry and hard, which is conducive to riding. Then the artillery team will come, and it will just be the only way to catch all the thieves in one go, saving trouble!"

"twitter!"

In Xiangyang City, Dashun Huguang Jiedushi Mansion, Li Guo sat at the table, and the memorials piled up in front of him were piled up like a mountain. The Emperor Dashun, who had just ascended the throne, had other dresses as he was the one who was the governor of Jing Xiang and other military affairs. Looking at his frown, it was obvious that the situation in front of him was not so beneficial to Dashun.

"Your Majesty, there is an emergency report to the details in front of you!" Song Xiance walked in from the outside, his steps were very hurried. He walked to Li Guo, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Guo. Li Guo took it and took it apart and took it apart, and his face changed suddenly.

"The red-clothed cannon of the Eastern Captain arrived in Dengzhou seven days ago!"

Even if Li Guo didn't look in the mirror, he knew that his face must be the same as the dead at this time. Although the soldiers of the Donglu were good at fighting in the field, they were not good at attacking the city. However, after obtaining the red-clothed cannon from the surrendered border army, this shortcoming was also made up. In the recent battle of Tongguan, the Shun army dug trenches and stood up to defend. Under the bombardment of the red-clothed cannon, he suffered heavy casualties. Li Zicheng had to flee back to Xi'an, and then gave up Xi'an and fled to Jingxiang.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Song Xiance looked at Li Guo's depressed face and said repeatedly: "The red-clothed cannon has arrived, but the Donglu did not transport it to the front line, but just left it in Dengzhou. Obviously, it was to wait for the sky to clear, and the ground was hard for the iron cavalry to gallop. At that time, we will use the red-clothed cannon to attack the city and capture our army in one place! Now the plan is to take risks!"

"Take a risk?" Li Guo was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Please come on!"

"Your Majesty, the Eastern Captains have been besieged for many days, and their troops have been exhausted, and their elite troops are all outside the city. If Your Majesty orders the troops outside the city to march directly to Dengzhou and attack him unprepared. Dengzhou was attacked by our army a few months ago, and the city walls were burned out. Even if there are some repairs, there must be endless points. It is not difficult to destroy it!"

Hearing Song Xiance's words, Li Guo's pale face suddenly turned red. He stood up suddenly and paced back and forth in front of several cases. Song Xiance, who was beside him, staring at Li Guo with a short moment. Suddenly, Li Guo pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, cut off a corner of the desk with one knife, and shouted sternly: "The success and defeat of the enemy, here is a fight! Pass the order, select three thousand iron cavalry, take three horses, set off tonight, and raid at Dengzhou!"

"Abide by the order!"

"The Original Records of Emperor Taizong of Shunshi" records: In June of the first year of Xingguo, the Eastern Army besieged Xiangyang, and the enemy was in great power. The king's army was besieged three times, and the king's army was unable to win. Moreover, the red-clothed cannons were coming, and the situation was very urgent. On the day of Dingchou, the emperor drove three thousand elite cavalry and attacked Dengzhou, and killed 400 armored heads of the enemy. The army was also in charge of the army. The enemy's artillery team was also in it. The enemy's heart was very upset. On the day of Xinsi, the king's army went out of the north gate of Xiangyang to fight the Donggu. The two armies fought and repeated more than ten times. By Wu, the Eastern Army Zhao's name Guandai Zaoyanxiong was in trouble because his troops were correct. The enemy's army was defeated. More than a hundred generals surrendered at the time of the battle. The enemy's leader Ajige was only exempted. After this battle, the heroes of Henan and Hanzhong all raised trouble one after another, and followed the orders of our dynasty."

In October of the fourth year of Xingguo, Guide, the Dashun Army Imperial Camp. The night wind blew on the guards' iron armor, making a crisp sound of collision from time to time. The moist air that the soldiers breathed when they were blowing was quickly condensed on their hair and beards, and under the moonlight it seemed to be translucent crystals. From a distance, these armored soldiers standing solemnly outside the Dashun Emperor's Imperial Palace were not like living people, but more like stone sculptures Weng Zhong.

A rapid sound of horse hooves broke the silence of the late night. After a while, the group was walking quickly towards the gate of the marching gate.

"Who!" With a loud shout, a collision of armor and military weapons came from the front of the gate. Before the shouting came, a thick answer came from the other side: "It's a certain family!"

At this time, the visitor had already gotten closer. The leader of the guard had seen the man in the lead and hurriedly shouted: "I won't let you go, I will see Pingzhang!"

Gao Yigong nodded and asked in a low voice: "Is Your Majesty inside?"

The leader of the guard nodded and reached out to ask for help, "Your Majesty has given you the order. As long as you arrive, you will meet immediately, and there is no need to communicate with each other!"

Gao Yigong nodded with a serious expression. Five days ago, he, who was left behind in Hanjing, received an urgent edict from the front line and rushed to the place. He thought about it all the way, but he didn't know the reason. He was nervous and looked at no one around, and asked in a low voice: "What are the changes in the army these days?"

The guard leader stagnated and lowered his voice: "Report to Ping Zhang, the villain doesn't know, but he hasn't seen His Majesty come out to ride a horse for more than ten days!"

"Yeah!" Gao Yigong nodded. He was born in the army and was good at riding and shooting. He was a horse emperor. No matter how busy the government has been in the past few years, he would take some time to go out to ride a horse every two or three days. If he linked the words of the guard leader to the urgency of the edict, the subsequent things would be extraordinary. Gao Yigong suddenly felt that his steps became heavier.

"Your Majesty, I am Gao Yigong to meet you!" Gao Yigong came into the house and saw Li Guo lying on the bed. Pingzhang Zhengshi Niu Jinxing stood aside, looking sad.

Li Guo raised his head slightly, looked at Niu Jinxing, and Niu Jinxing coughed lowly. He spread the edict in his hand and whispered: "Now I am not hesitant, and I will have no sons under my knees. I will pass on the power of the general with a great position. Pingzhang's military and national affairs will be a success. Pingzhang's political affairs will assist him."

It seemed as if a thunder struck Gao Yigong's head. His knees weakened, he fell to the ground and said repeatedly: "I will never dare to obey the order if I die!"

"Yigong, come here!" Li Guo raised his head with the help of Niu Jinxing, and said in a weak voice to Gaoyi who was walking beside him: "I have no sons under my knees. The Li clan has followed Taizu's command. There are many things. Although there are adopted sons, they are young and cannot be able to manage the country. Today, they are disturbed and cannot be given major issues to the child. You should encourage them!"

Gao Yigong looked at Li Guo's angry look, Niu Jinxing on the side was also persuaded repeatedly, gritted his teeth, and nodded. Seeing Gao Yigong agreeing to his request, a self-deprecating smile flashed across Li Guo's sallow face and said in a low voice: "The Gao family was given the army to Li family, and now the Li family returned to Gao family to the world. Merchants and borrowers can discuss it in detail!"

When Gao Yigong heard this, he didn't know how to respond, so he could only bow down and kowtow repeatedly. Suddenly he heard Niu Jinxing scream: "Your Majesty!" He looked up and saw that Li Guo's head had fallen into the pillow, and he died of anger, with a self-deprecating smile on his lips.

In October of the fourth year of Xingguo, the emperor died at the age of 41, and the temple was named Taizong. Gao Yigong succeeded to the throne and was known in history as Shizu.

"The Original Annals of Emperor Taizong of Shunshi"

The discussion says: Since ancient times, there are not many people who have achieved difficulties in the world, as if they were as great as Dashun. In the sixteenth year of Taizu's rebellion, countless people were in danger. When Jiashen entered Yanjing, the world thought that the great cause was settled. However, the Eastern Captains invaded and the overall situation was almost deteriorated. At that time, the enemy's power was rising, and they took Jiangnan as if they were in control. Taizong fought with several prefectures in Jingxiang, and finally turned around. Unfortunately, the sky was not ready for the year, but the place was calm, so why should Yao and Shun be added? In the following years, the great cause was settled, and the talent of the Emperor's destiny was also the plan of Taizong!
