Wang Shangli died in the main hall, and in exchange for all this, Emperor Yongli had to change the underwear that had been soaked with sweat every day for the past few days after Wang Shangli left. However, until this Xiying

The general chose to commit suicide, but the cold, wet, and sticky feeling still stuck to his body and did not disappear at all. I don't know whether it was because his underwear was wet with sweat again, or it was a hallucination caused by psychological effects.

.

The eunuchs and guards had already taken care of the corpse. Mu Tianbo called over the officers of the Imperial Guard to boost his morale, and he quickly led his soldiers out of the palace.

There is also Wang Shangli's army of tens of thousands in the city, which is more than the subordinates of Jin Tongwu and Mu Tianbo combined. Mu Tianbo is an outsider and it is difficult to intervene, so Jin Tongwu, a general under the command of the King of Jin, is needed to take charge. And Mu Tianbo's

On the other side, it is necessary to take over the city defense that Jin Tongwu is responsible for.

His family has been guarding this place for generations, and Mu Tianbo is extremely familiar with every plant and tree here. In fact, the shape of Kunming City was specially designed by Mu Tianbo's ancestor Mu Ying.

The expert looked at the Changchong Mountains and determined that the mountain was a dragon vein, which must be overcome, transformed, assisted, and transformed by spiritual beasts. Therefore, he designed the city of Kunming as a spiritual turtle. This was the decision.

The layout of the city and the direction of the city walls and gates.

The south gate of the spirit turtle is the head, the north gate is the tail, and the Weihe Gate, Yongqing Gate, Guangyuan Gate and Hongrun Gate on the east and west sides are the limbs of the spirit turtle respectively. However, the defense at this time has nothing to do with the layout——

When Zhang Sheng and Wu Dading attacked, he would rush to the place where he encountered the enemy to assist in the defense, and that was all.

Mu Tianbo hurriedly arrived, and Jin Tongwu was already waiting in formation on the city. As soon as the two met, General Jin Tong gave a brief description of the deployment of defenses, and then hurriedly left - he was rushing to Wang Shangli's camp to take charge.

, nothing can go wrong there.

"The announcement has been posted in accordance with His Majesty's decree."

"That's good, that's good."

Jin Tongwu hurriedly left the city wall, and Mu Tianbo focused all his attention on the rebels outside the city. Zhang Sheng and Wu Dading's seven thousand cavalry had already arrived. If the horses were missing a pair of wings, they would not be able to climb the city wall.

If they had gone up, they would have entered the city long ago and would not have been blocked outside the city by Jin Tongwu.

The two looked at each other and knew that they could only return to the rhythm of a frontal attack at this time, so they quickly ordered the soldiers to capture the people outside the city and tear down the doors and beams of the people's homes to obtain building materials to build the siege city.

instrument.

This was all as it should be, but not long after, an officer ran back sweating profusely and handed a copy of the list to Zhang Sheng, who only glanced at it with Wu Dingze

, he was stunned for a moment, and didn't say a word for a long time.

"This is Lubu Feijie. His Highness the King of Qin was defeated. That was an army of 180,000!"

Putting aside their 7,000 cavalry, there are also 170,000 people there. This number is several times more than that of Yunnan. Logically speaking, this battle will not be defeated, at least it will not be defeated.

So fast, and judging from the time, Sun Kewang had already agreed with Li Dingguo on the time for the decisive battle before sending them to attack the city, which was too early.

"Where did you get this?"

The first time he reacted, Zhang Sheng grabbed the officer's collar and asked. The latter's answer was that the list was posted in Jinmafang. He also heard that it seemed to be posted in Bijifang.

.As to whether it is true or false, he has no idea.

"The posting time should be earlier than when we arrive at the city."

This morning, it is not impossible that the defenders knew that they were coming to attack the city and made special preparations. However, if what is said above is true, then they are now a lonely army. At this time

We should not continue to prepare for the siege, but should leave here as soon as possible to avoid being attacked from both sides by the returning troops and the defenders.

"Prince Jin is so good at fighting..."

It is well known to the world that Li Dingguo is good at fighting, and there is nothing surprising about it. But at the same time, they also noticed one thing, that is, the victory report mentioned the contributions of Bai Wenxuan and Ma Weixing. It was obviously the two who turned against each other before the battle, which made Sun Kewang's subordinates

Such a large and powerful army collapsed in just one day.

Especially Bai Wenxuan, who Sun Kewang specially appointed as the "General to Conquer Rebellion and Recruitment" on the eve of the expedition. Now it seems that Bai Wenxuan was indeed effective in conquering the rebels, but this traitor was the traitor in the eyes of the Yongli court.

, rather than the traitor in Sun Kewang's eyes.

"Let's go quickly. His Highness the King of Qin has been defeated. The King of Jin will definitely come back to help immediately. If we don't leave, we will have no chance."

Seeing Zhang Sheng's slight hesitation, Wu Dading hurriedly tried to persuade him. The problem now was not just the credibility of the article. They had been struggling under the city for a long time, but the internal intelligence that had been agreed upon in the city did not work.

There was no movement, but only the formations on the top of the city, which could explain the situation.

This was a top priority and could not be delayed. Seeing this, the two of them did not care about the civilians they had just arrested, and quickly gathered their troops and left. On the other hand, Mu Tianbo on the top of the city, after capturing Wang Shangli, hurried away anxiously.

We came here, but in the end there was no fighting, we just watched the rebels' retreating figures.

Not fighting was actually a good thing. Mu Tianbo quickly informed Yongli and Jin Tongwu of the good news to ensure the safety of Kunming. When the news was sent to Jin Tongwu, Jin Tongwu announced in public that those generals who originally planned to follow Wang Shangli to cause rebellion also

They have restrained their behavior one by one, and they dare not do more or say more.

The city of Kunming was out of danger. However, Zhang Sheng and Wu Dading, who had left in a hurry, encountered Li Dingguo's return troops at Hunshuitang.

They collided with the muzzle of the gun, and the two men wanted to escape, so they quickly launched a fierce attack. Historically, Zhang Sheng and Wu Dading launched a fierce attack, and the returning troops who had been exhausted from the water battle were actually killed.

The rebels were retreating steadily. They were about to be defeated, but Ma Bao did what Bai Wenxuan did in the water battle, and Ma Weixing defeated Zhang Sheng. But this time, Hui Weixing defeated Zhang Sheng.

After the reinforcements suffered a slight setback, Li Dingguo, who was much stronger than ever in history, mobilized his elite troops. With a little effort, Zhang Sheng and Wu Dading were defeated. Wu Dading even led his army to surrender. Only Zhang Sheng and Wu Dading were defeated.

Sheng took some of the remaining soldiers and the defeated general fled far away.

Zhang Sheng fled in a panic, and by the next day he had entered the territory of Zhanyi Prefecture. It was the northern part of Qujing Prefecture, the gateway to Kunming, and further north was Wusha Prefecture in southern Sichuan. Wusha Post Office was also established in

From here, you can return to Guizhou by heading east. Zhang Sheng fled all the way. He was being chased by the pursuers in a hurry, and it was all to get rid of the pursuers. As a result, he ran out that night and was almost back to Guizhou. It was also an accident.

happiness.

After informing his officers that they were about to return to Guizhou, which boosted their morale a little, he quickly sent someone to report the news to Zhanyi Prefecture.

It is true that Zhanyi Prefecture is the boundary of Yunnan. Fortunately, the guard here, Li Chengjue, was originally the chief military officer under Zhang Sheng and was later stationed here. He was kind to Li Chengjue first. The army here was in urgent need of supplies and rest. He

He had no choice but to go there once, otherwise, before he could escape back to Guiyang, the defeated general would have dispersed, and it was very possible to even tie him up and hand him over to Li Dingguo to receive his reward.

Not long after, a group of people from Zhanyizhou arrived, and Li Chengjue enthusiastically invited them to Zhanyizhou City. He had no intention of avoiding suspicion, and his face was full of disdain that Zhang Sheng could still think of it at this time.

He was excited. Seeing this, Zhang Sheng felt a lot relieved. He was immediately invited to the big tent by Li Chengjue. While waiting for the banquet, he explained the whole story and explained the responsibility that Li Chengjue would take.

gratitude for the responsibility.

"The King of Jin is back, and His Highness the King of Qin seems to have really lost. Brother, we should leave here as soon as possible. Should we go back to Guiyang to join the King of Qin and King Xing'an, or make a living on our own, it is better than staying here and risking our lives."

Do we need more manpower?"

Zhang Sheng said this with all his heart and soul, and he was also thinking about having more troops to increase his weight. After all, these are troubled times, and the number of troops has a great influence. If he wants to turn over, he must think of more.

In this way, Zhang Sheng tried his best to persuade, and Li Chengjue agreed immediately. However, not a moment later, when the banquet was ready and the banquet was ready, he coughed lightly, and a group of Ming troops rushed in. Before he could wait,

When Zhang Sheng reacted, he had already tied it into a rice dumpling.

"You used to be my general, how dare you betray me?!"

"You dare to betray the emperor, so why shouldn't I?"

………………

The remaining defeated generals under his command were disarmed and taken into custody by Li Chengjue, and they were even sent directly to Kunming. There are no surprises waiting for Zhang Sheng's fate.

Wang Shangli committed suicide, Zhang Sheng was captured, Wu Dading surrendered, and Kunming was no longer worried. Li Dingguo has already entered into the aftermath work, and is waiting for Liu Wenxiu's situation to be reported back. Liu Wenxiu's main job is to capture Sun Kewang, and at the same time

Recovering the Qin-controlled areas in Guizhou and southwestern Huguang minimized losses as much as possible, at least not allowing the Qing government to take advantage, and also prepared for future counterattacks.

However, Zhang Sheng first entered Yunnan and then fled to Guizhou. As for Sun Kewang, when he was defeated in Jiaoshui, he fled to Guizhou with his own soldiers.

The pursuers disappeared without a trace.

From Jiaoshui, he fled to Guiyang along the official road he came from. At first, the news of the defeat had not yet reached him, but Sun Kewang ran all the way and was in extreme despair, but the actual situation was exposed. Some people welcomed him into the city and prepared for him.

He provided supplies, but some simply turned a deaf ear and pretended that he had never been there. Later, the news spread more and more widely. When Sun Kewang arrived in Anshun Prefecture, the guard there was Ma Jinzhong, the Jiading prince he had conferred half a year ago. As a result,

The prince didn't care about his benefits at all. Not only did he refuse to accept him, he also sent soldiers to chase him, forcing Sun Kewang to go around the city and go straight to Guiyang Fucheng.

By the time they arrived in Guiyang, the horses and mounts of the soldiers had run out of strength, and the entourage had been reduced to only fifteen or sixteen people. Compared with the hundreds of thousands of troops at the time of departure, they had been cut down abruptly.

Four zeros!

Feng Shuangli was not like Ma Jinzhong. He was a close confidant of Sun Kewang. He had been deeply gracious to him over the years. Seeing Sun Kewang's behavior, he couldn't help but welcome him into the city. After Sun Kewang entered the city, he quickly sent Feng Shuangli to guard the Weiqing important road.

He then sent people to mobilize troops in the direction of Huguang for a desperate fight.

"Your Highness, King Qin's army has been destroyed. We cannot waste our own lives in vain."

Sun Kewang escaped back in such a state of embarrassment. Feng Shuangli and his generals had already noticed it without anyone explaining. The 180,000-strong army went out for a month, and only fifteen or six people came back. This comparison is really shocking.

Feng Shuangli stayed in Guiyang and still had some troops, but against Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu was undoubtedly a mantis. The generals under his command tried to persuade him, and Feng Shuangli also thought about it, and then ordered his subordinates to release three soldiers in a row.

Sound cannon.

"My lord, this is the last time I will repay your kindness."

According to the agreement, once Liu Wenxiu's pursuers are discovered, Feng Shuangli will fire three trumpet blasts to give Sun Kewang an early warning. The purpose of early warning is naturally to respond. If more troops are mobilized later, it may be to take precautions.

But not long after he left, the three consecutive trumpet blasts sounded. Sun Kewang could no longer care about anything else, and hurriedly took his wife, children and entourage out of the city and ran eastward.

Along the way to Xintianwei, Pianqiao, Zhenyuan, Pingxi, and Yuanzhou, "all the guards closed their camps and refused to accept them." "The city gates they reached were closed during the day, and they called again and again, and only hung the big pots to hold the pots."

"The salary is expected; but there are those who do not deserve it." His Highness, the King of Qin, who once dominated the government and the public and was arrogant, has become betrayed and separated from his relatives, like a dog that has lost its home.

"Now that Li Dingguo has humiliated me so much, I should not hesitate to surrender to the Qing army to avenge my eternal hatred."

He said to his followers that their wealth had long been tied to Sun Kewang. Now that Sun Kewang had decided this, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue on their way. Until Jingzhou, Hunan, which was already the junction of Ming and Qing dynasties in Huguang.

Wu Fengsheng on the state road was promoted by Sun Kewang. He was not like the guys in front. He not only led his troops to greet him, but also took precautions in the direction of Guizhou. On Sun Kewang's side, he was in Jingzhou and sent his cronies.
