Yunnan.
Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, personally made his palace, and the Empress Yongli and his entourage fled to Tengyue Prefecture on the border of western Yunnan.
On the way, there were many officials who were in despair about the future, such as the scholar Fugang, the secretary of the household department, Gong Yi, the head of the Ministry of Rites, Zheng Fengyuan, the military department, Hu Xian, the imperial historian Chen Qixiang, and Jiang Zhilian, the director of the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Officials, all abandoned their officials and did not resign.
Wang Yinglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was born in northern Shaanxi as an archery craftsman, Zhang Xianzhong established the Daxi regime when the Ministry of Industry was still the secretary, and after the Ming Dynasty resisted the Qing Dynasty, he served in the Yongli Imperial Court after the Ming Dynasty.
First of all, you can't help the community, and now you can't follow the king in adversity, and you can still be ashamed to live in the world.
His son buried his father beside the road, and said to the left and right: "Father is martyred, and the son becomes loyal to his father", and also hanged himself.
Since then, the Yongli Imperial Court has completely lost the hearts of hundreds of officials and the hearts of the world.
Hearing that Yongli ran west, Wu Sangui was overjoyed, but after knowing that the palace was Li Dingguo's department, he was afraid that the loss of hard battles would be too great, so he did not want to pursue, so he did not move in Yongchang for several days.
Hearing that Wu Sangui did not continue to lead his troops to pursue Yongli, Doni was furious, so he strictly ordered Wu to continue the pursuit, and ordered the southern generals Zhao Butai and Belle Shangshan to drive their troops forward and urge Wu Sangui to march.
Wu Sangui received a strict order from Doni, and learned that Zhao Butai and Shangshan were leading a full army to arrive, so he summoned the generals to discuss how to deal with it.
Strategist Fang Xianting said: "The Ming Dynasty has long been exhausted by Sun Li's internal strife, and most of central Yunnan has been included in the territory of the Qing Dynasty, leaving only Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan and other remnants of the army, which is really insignificant.
Now that Yongli has already gone west, it is better to give him another ride and drive him out of the country, so that the prince can feel at ease.
Furthermore, if I do not break it, others will break it too.
It's better to be one step ahead, build up miraculous feats, and then make plans when the time comes. ” Hu Shouliang said: "I am worried that if the prince destroys the Ming, he will lose the hearts of the people in the world, and it will be difficult to act in the future." ” When Lin Tianqing, the governor of Yunnan, heard Hu Shouliang's words, he was slightly frightened in his heart, but he didn't dare to think deeply, so he only opened his mouth to persuade him: "The general strictly ordered, if the prince does not obey the order, I am afraid that the general and the court will be suspicious of the prince, so the lower officials think that the prince should immediately march to Tengyue." ” The eldest son-in-law, Xia Guoxiang, also said that he should immediately pursue Yongli, even if he did not want to capture him, and he could not be allowed to stay in Yunnan.
Wu Sangui thought about it for a long time, and finally ordered the whole army to pursue.
Li Dingguo led the headquarters to the rear of the palace, and walked and stopped, not revealing the gap to the Qing army, Wu Sangui could not catch the fighter, so he only followed closely.
When Li Dingguo led his army across the Nu River to Mopan Mountain, news came from the front that the holy car had arrived in Tengyue.
Li Dingguo was a little settled in his heart, and saw that Mopan Mountain was steep, the mountains were high and the valleys were deep, the forests were dense and there was only one way to pass, so he couldn't help but intend to design an ambush for Wu Sangui in this mountain and wipe out the pursuing Qing soldiers here.
Therefore, Li Dingguo rode up the mountain, climbed high and looked, and found that this mountain is extensive, and there are three canyons that can be ambushed.
Li Dingguo estimated that after the Qing army's repeated victories, he would inevitably advance lightly, and decided to set up an ambush in the grass and trees on both sides of the 20-mile-long sheep intestine trail in this Mopan Mountain, with the fame of Tai'an Bodou as the first ambush, the Guangchang Marquis Gao Wengui as the second ambush, and the Wujing Marquis Wang Guoxi as the third ambush, and ordered the soldiers to bury the mines in the valley, and the generals said that they must wait for the Qing army to enter this sheep intestine path, and the first ambush can be launched.
Then the mines were detonated, and both the two and three volts were fired.
With such a flanking attack, the Qing army will be defeated.
He also ordered the ambush units to carry pre-made dry food, so as not to be detected by the Qing army when cooking smoke from cooking.
After the deployment was completed, Li Dingguo waited for the arrival of Hou Qing's army at Mopan Mountain.
Li Dingguo had high hopes for this ambush, as long as the ambush was successful, the Qing army's pursuit could be slowed down, and the other could ensure that Yongli would not enter Burma for the time being.
In his heart, the king of Jin always suspected that the emperor would still be greedy for life and afraid of death and run to Burma.
As soon as the Ming army had deployed an ambush at Mopan Mountain, Wu Sangui led his army to arrive.
Wu Sangui is also a long-time battle-hardened person, as soon as he saw the mountain situation of Panmo Mountain, he subconsciously ordered all the troops to stop advancing, and then climbed high and looked, thinking that this mountain is high and deep, and the forest is dense, which is an excellent ambush place.
Wu Sangui was worried that Li Dingguo would set up an ambush in front of him, but in the canyon in front of him, there was only grass and trees moving with the wind and roaring pine waves, and there was no figure in sight.
He wondered in his heart, with the mountainous situation here, how could Li Dingguo, who was good at using soldiers, not set up ambushes The soldiers sent to the mountains to investigate also came to report, but no trace of the ambush was found.
In this way, whether to advance or retreat, Wu Sangui is difficult to decide for a while.
Zhao Butai, the general of Zhengnan who came to monitor Wu Sangui on the order of Doni, saw that Wu Sangui ordered to stop the army, and stopped suspiciously, disdainful in his heart, and secretly said that the Ming army was already a remnant of the defeated army, how could it be possible to set up an ambush, Wu Sangui was suspicious Beile Shangshan, who came with the army, thought more, and secretly said that it was not Wu Sangui, a Han man, who did not want to do his best for the Qing Dynasty Zhao Butai waited for a while, and when he saw that Wu Sangui had not given the order to march for a long time, he was anxious, worried that the Ming army would run away if he delayed any longer, so he went to find Wu Sangui and asked him: "King Pingxi, there is no ambush in the mountains here, why didn't King Pingxi give the order to advance?"
"How did General Zhao know that there was no ambush" Zhao Butai pointed to the mountain with a whip, and said very confidently: "The mountain is so quiet, where does it look like there is an ambush."
Hearing this, Wu Sangui was shocked, and suddenly woke up and said: "I think there must be an ambush in this mountain."
"Why" "Because, the mountains are too quiet" "Why is it too quiet in the mountains, there is an ambush?"
"If there is no ambush in the mountains, there should be people passing by, and wild beasts are no different, and it will never be as peaceful as this" "The theory of the king of Pingxi is really unbelievable, so suspicious, when will we be able to catch up with the enemy" "If there is really an enemy ambush, we will rush forward, and we will not lose our troops?"
Wu Sangui would rather delay the fighter than lose his strength.
It is not easy to survive to this step of the field.
As a last resort, he never wanted to lose a single soldier.
Zhao Butai saw that Wu Sangui was still suspicious, and said angrily: "If there is an ambush, you will know with a cannon bombardment."
"Good way" Wu Sangui's eyes lit up, but he secretly said in his heart, this Zhao Butai is really stupid and stupid.
But it's stupid, but it works.
He believed that if Li Dingguo really set up an ambush in the mountains, and the cannon bombarded, then the ordinary soldiers would definitely not be able to withstand it and would come out.
At that moment, Wu Sangui ordered to attack with artillery fire around the canyon and wherever the woods were dense.
However, after a few cannon shots, nothing but billowing smoke rose from the mountain.

Wu Sangui was stunned: Could it be that he was really suspicious, so Li Dingguo really didn't set up an ambush in this mountain Zhao Butai had a smug look on his face, showing his disdain for Wu Sangui's timidity, and he was happy that his judgment was correct.
He didn't know that Li Dingguo really set up an ambush in this mountain, but he thought that the Qing army would use artillery fire to test it, so he asked the soldiers to hide in the cave as much as possible.
And a strict order was given, and if there was no order, even if he was killed, he would never come out "I said that there is no ambush, the king of Pingxi doesn't believe it, but after delaying this time, the king of Pingxi still didn't order the march" oshow7 t1706231537:
