In an instant, it was April, the season of early summer.
At this moment, the territory of Xiangzhou is in a mess, but the encircled coalition army has lost its military spirit and was defeated by the Qi army in one fell swoop.
Among them, the leader of the alliance, Xiang Yan, committed suicide in shame, Fan Zeng was also angry and vomited blood to death, and Yingbu fought his way out of the encirclement with a martial arts.
Surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang in the east, Chen Youliang also suffered a great loss in his military strength, and led the remnants out under the escort of Zhang Bixian and other generals, and quietly returned to Jiujiang.
As for Fu Youde, he was abandoned by Chen Youliang in the chaos and was captured Under the persuasion of the generals and Gao Qi, Fu Youde agreed to return to Daqi.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was intercepted in Fushui, also contacted Xu Da in Liyang to send reinforcements to assist, with the cooperation of Yingbu, who came to take refuge.
In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang lost most of his military strength before he was able to return to Liyang and join Xu Da's headquarters.
In this battle, the battle situation can be described as very fierce, although the Qi army annihilated the main army of the Jiangdong forces, so that the anti-king forces in Jiangdong were greatly reduced, and they had to survive.
However, the Qi army suffered equally heavy casualties, and the war that took place in Xiangzhou also destroyed this place, and the people either moved to Qianzhou and Dian Zhou, or went south to Lingnan.
After the war, the reconstruction of Xiangzhou was also a big problem.
Therefore, after the battle, Gao Qi convened the generals of this battle in Changsha to commend the meritorious generals.
Secondly, he also discussed with the generals to rebuild Xiangzhou, so that the people who had suffered from the war could return to their homes as soon as possible and continue to live and work in peace and contentment Finally, the most important thing was also put on the agenda, that is, to take advantage of this opportunity to pacify Jiangdong and unify the task of Jiangnan.
The unification of Jiangnan and the oath to the Northern Expedition have been the major strategic goals of Qi since its establishment.
At this time, the coalition army was in the midst of a great defeat, and it was also the weakest time for the anti-kings in Jiangdong.
With Gao Qi's wisdom, of course, he will take the opportunity to send troops to dominate Jiangdong.
After all, if this measure is a good opportunity, then with Zhu Yuanzhang's ability, let him recover, it will definitely become an obstacle to the unification of the Qi army.
Subsequently, after some deliberation, Gao Qi ordered the reinforcements from each state to send troops back to the states to guard in case of change Immediately afterwards, he ordered Xiangzhou to engage in Zhong Xuan and Yu Chenglong to cooperate with each other and strive to restore order in Xiangzhou as soon as possible.
Next, Gao Qi ordered Yue Fei to be the generalissimo of sweeping the east, controlling the soldiers and horses from all walks of life, leading Li Jing, Wang Xuance, Lu Xun's troops, and the soldiers and horses under his command, plus Qi Jiguang and Zhou Yu's water army, a total of 400,000 troops marched to Jiangdong, striving to unify Jiangnan as soon as possible.
Moreover, in order to clear the obstacles for his own side to march into Jiangdong, Gao Qi also deliberately made Sun Ce, who had surrendered to Cheng, a general under Yue Fei.
Subsequently, he ordered Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling and other advisers to assist Yue Fei, make suggestions, and staff the military.
After a series of appointments were stabilized, Gao Qi dismissed the conscripted sergeants and led the rest of the army back to Gangneung.
Just when Gao Qi returned, Zheng He, the chamberlain, sent someone to urgently deliver a letter.
Inform Gao Qi, the king of Qi, that the queen is happy only said that after hearing that the eldest grandson was happy, Gao Qi was overjoyed, and immediately ordered the whole army to march day and night.
Liaodong Since the beginning of spring, after the blood slowly melted, the Manchu army of several roads came in the second army However, due to the buffer of winter, Liu Bei also prepared sufficient defenses, and under the continuous attacks of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he could not break through the defense line and enter the hinterland of Liaodong.
Not only that, but when the Manchus were attacking Liaodong on a large scale, the Jin State joined forces with Temujin to eliminate the Xianbei on the Mobei Plateau.
An agreement was also reached with Temujin on a non-aggression pact.
Subsequently, Temujin also followed the etiquette of the Central Plains, and at the suggestion of the Han people Li Ru and Dong Ping, he took Longcheng as his capital and established himself as the emperor The founding of the Yuan Dynasty, Temujin called himself Genghis Khan.
It is only said that after becoming emperor, Genghis Khan's ambition soared, on the one hand, he collected Han classics and learned Han culture on the grassland.
On the other hand, Genghis Khan also pointed the finger at the direction of the Western Regions in the west of the Yuan Dynasty.
Immediately afterwards, Temujin sat in Longcheng with his son Tuolei, deterring the country and defending the enemy.
As for Genghis Khan, he personally took Mu Huali and Borshu as generals, and the Han people Li Ru and Dong Ping led the way, led the way, and led 200,000 yuan to the iron cavalry to conquer the Western Regions.
Prepare to destroy all the forces entrenched in the Western Regions in one fell swoop, and then reorganize and fight, from Yumen Pass into the Han land.
After signing a non-aggression pact with Genghis Khan, Wanyan Aguta was also ambitious and also targeted Youzhou.
Under the leadership of the Han general An Lushan, Wanyan Agu raised 100,000 marches to Youzhou and conquered Youzhou.
For a while, Youzhou shook, the palace shook, and after Luo Yi heard about it, he couldn't calm down for a long time Subsequently, Luo Yi sat in the palace with Luo Cheng, looking down on the overall situation, and he personally led the army north to fight fiercely with the Jin army.
However, both the Manchu army and the Jin army were blocked from the pass and could not be saved.
But at this time, Wu Sangui, who guarded Yulin Guancheng, became a "fragrant" in the eyes of the Hu people. ” Linyu Pass, in the city It is only said that when Wu Sangui was born, the implanted identity was the Yulin guard appointed by Luo Yi.
In his memory, Wu Sangui has been guarding Yulin Pass for more than ten years, and because of Wu Sangui's good ability, he has always been trusted and reused by Luo Yi.
Because Linyu Pass is the main traffic artery between Youzhou and Liaodong, its strategic location is extremely superior.
On weekdays, there is still a lot of oil and water here, and Wu Sangui holds the military and political power in the Guannei.
After more than ten years of guarding, Wu Sangui is almost the overlord of this place, and he is the same.
At this time, on the streets, soldiers were patrolling back and forth, but there was not a single citizen on the streets of Nuoda.
This is also a characteristic of Linyu, because this place is the forefront of the defense of Liaodong.
Therefore, the people living here have long been relocated to the Guannei, which is about 100 miles away from Linyu.
As usual, Wu Sangui walked slowly towards his mansion as usual.

In the past, when Wu Sangui returned to the mansion, he would let the singers he had gathered hold a singing banquet in the mansion to relieve his boredom.
However, today's atmosphere is a little unusual, just after entering the mansion, I saw the housekeeper immediately go out to pray.
"My lord, there are several extraordinary guests in the house today."
"Among them, several people wore black robes and hats, while the other was dressed in the clothes of a scholar, like a leader."
As the steward of the palace briefly explained the situation to him, Wu Sangui didn't understand who was paying attention to him, and couldn't help but think about it.
Immediately after, Wu Sangui ordered the guards to guard outside the mansion, and then went straight to the mansion alone.
When I walked into the mansion, I saw that the leader of the first person wearing the costume of a scholar was a pure Manchu Qing person, with a high complexion and long combed hair.
Seeing Wu Sangui, the leader of the scholar's costume walked over for a moment, and then greeted Wu Sangui in an extremely standard Central Plains dialect.
"General Wu, I am the eldest grandson of the Qing Dynasty, and my name is Aixinjue Luo Xuanye, and this time I specially came to meet General Wu on the order of my emperor."
Hearing this, Wu Sangui felt a hint of meaning, and couldn't understand why the Manchu Qing Dynasty would come to visit him.
After all, now that the Manchus were fighting fiercely with Liu Bei in Liaodong, they didn't think about how to break the enemy, but they came to visit them If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty's plan is definitely greasy "Could it be that the Manchu army couldn't attack Liaodong for a long time, so they specially sent people to investigate the details of Linyu, wanting to use this as a breakthrough?"
For a moment, Wu Sangui couldn't help but think wildly, pondering the intentions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't determine the real purpose of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's visit.
Without this, Wu Sangui slowly asked: "Your Excellency is the Manchu royal family, and you must know a lot about the war caused by your country in Liaodong."
"Since your country is fighting with our army, and your envoy comes rashly, aren't you afraid that Wu will catch him and send him to the Beiping Palace?"
Listening to the slightest threatening words in Wu Sangui's mouth, Kangxi didn't care at all, and laughed first.
Then he said: "Haha, General Wu said that he laughed, my Manchu is the way to treat friends the most." ” "General Wu's talent is admired by my emperor and even the ministers of the Qing Dynasty."
"So, in Xuan Ye's opinion, how could General Wu do something that harmed his friends?"
"Moreover, the black-clothed soldiers outside the mansion are warriors personally trained by General Aobai, the first warrior of my Manchu Dynasty, and everyone can be ten."
"If I have a bad time today, I'm afraid they will cause General Wu a lot of trouble."
Kangxi is worthy of being the emperor who created the prosperous era of the Qing Dynasty in history, and this thinking talent cannot be underestimated He first played the family card with Wu Sangui with words, so that the Qing side occupied the commanding heights of etiquette.
Then he threatened Wu Sangui with words, asking Wu Sangui not to act rashly, but Lao Tzu came prepared Hearing this, Wu Sangui was suspicious at this time, this Xuan Ye was really a Manchu person Why did he not have the recklessness of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at all, but read poetry and books, learned all the etiquette and culture of the Han family, and also had a thousand strategies.
In fact, Wu Sangui didn't know that in fact, the purpose of Kangxi's visit this time was to persuade Wu Sangui to open the city and surrender to his side.
Kangxi's identity implanted in this birth is the eldest son of Huang Taiji and the eldest grandson of Nurhachi.
Because Nurhachi has many sons, and almost all of them are extremely good, when the war situation in Liaodong is deadlocked, Kangxi will think of Wu Sangui.
Regarding Wu Sangui, Kangxi had specially investigated earlier, knowing that this person was greedy for interests and had great ambitions. must not be willing to be just a Yulin guard, and spend his life in obscurity Therefore, Kangxi suggested to Nurhachi that he take the initiative to persuade Wu Sangui to surrender.
Thinking that Yulin Pass was located in Liaodong, once Wu Sangui agreed to return to Shun, Liaodong would definitely be self-defeating Nurhachi thought about it for a while, and then agreed to Kangxi's request.
Next, both sides tested before they slowly sat down and talked slowly.
"General Wu, you have both martial arts and bravery, so Luo Yi didn't appoint you as the general before the battle, but instead sent you to this projectile land to guard the city pass for him."
"General Wu, this is really what you yearn for" "However, although Luo Yi doesn't pay attention to you, my emperor of the Qing Dynasty is kind to you, and he has been admiring the generals of Youzhou for a long time, and only General Wu can compare with my Manchu generals."
"It can be seen from this that our emperor attaches great importance to General Wu, and I hope that General Wu will consider it, as long as he agrees to join my Qing Dynasty, take Liaodong, and enter the Central Plains."
"At that time, it will not be a problem to confer the title of king, and General Wu will not consider it" For a while, when Kangxi faced Wu Sangui, he had no extra words and directly opened a bargaining chip to him.
To deal with a villain like Wu Sangui with heavy selfish interests, there is no need to talk too much.
As long as you can offer enough benefits to impress their hearts, this is half the battle.
Hearing what Kangxi said, Wu Sangui was not easy to deceive, and said slowly; "Brother Xuanye, what you said is your Manchu Qing words."
"Wu doesn't know whether it's true or not, and now King Yan has personally named Wu as the chief soldier of Linyu Pass and guards this place."
"Holding the military and political power here, its power is not insignificant."
"To tell the truth, although Wu is just a small chief soldier in this square area, he lives a fairy-like life, unrestrained" "I am sandwiched between Liu Bei and Luo Yi, as long as this situation is maintained forever, then Wu's days will always exist."
"Mr.
Xuan Ye, if you don't have any chips to impress, you want me to be obedient, I'm afraid it's not so easy."
Indeed, Wu Sangui directly opened a bargaining chip and openly asked Kangxi for the price.
Hearing this, how smart Kangxi was, how could he not know Wu Sangui's plans, and after thinking about it carefully, he had an idea.
"General Wu, as long as you can join my Great Qing Dynasty, once my Great Qing Dynasty enters the Central Plains, the fiefdom of the Central Plains is at your disposal."
"And General Wu can be hereditary and unfettered" "I, the Qing Dynasty, will not interfere in the fiefdom where General Wu is located, and in order to show the sincerity of my Qing Dynasty, Xuan Ye is willing to personally write a letter of commitment and hand it over to General Wu for safekeeping."
As soon as the words fell, Kangxi took out a letter of commitment directly from his sleeve, which was directly stamped with the Manchu seal.

Subsequently, Kangxi wrote down the agreement with Wu Sangui one by one.
At this point, Wu Sangui had no worries, and immediately accepted the letter of commitment, and promised to return to the Qing Dynasty, swearing to do his best for the Qing Dynasty and never betray According to what Kangxi said, Wu Sangui has long been dissatisfied with Luo Yida, although Wu Sangui is the emperor of the soil here on weekdays.
But in Wu Sangui's view, with his own talent, he should be the general of the three armies, and he should go into battle to make meritorious contributions and become famous in the world, which is his belonging.
However, now it seems that if you don't find another way out, you may have to spend your whole life in Yulin Pass.
Therefore, with the arrival of Kangxi, the two almost hit it off and immediately talked happily For a long time, when Kangxi and Wu Sangui were discussing how to cooperate with the march into Liaodong, the steward came to report, and someone outside the customs asked to see him.
"Tell the general, the golden envoy outside the city asks to see, I don't know" Hearing this, Wu Sangui was extremely puzzled, what was wrong with him, why did everyone come to him These Hu people all regard themselves as the "traitors" that Gao Qi said Otherwise, it can't be explained that even the Jin people came to visit.
It's just that now Wu Sangui has accepted the Manchu Qing Dynasty's gift, and of course he will not accept the Jin people.
Just as Wu Sangui was about to wave his hand and order the guards to expel the golden envoy, Kangxi on the side stopped.
"General Wu, the Jin envoy has come from afar, how can we be lazy?"
"It's the right thing to do if you invite them in and treat them well."
For a while, Kangxi's meaning, Wu Sangui was still ignorant, and he didn't know what it meant.
Immediately, Kangxi explained softly in his ear, and Wu Sangui suddenly showed a sneer.
Immediately, Xuan Ye avoided it, but Wu Sangui sat in the lobby and ordered the guards to bring the golden envoy here to entertain him.
The great chaos of the end of the Sui Dynasty called :
