Li Guoying was defeated in Xichong and fled to Dingyuan in three days. Looking at the erosion of the war, now is not the time when the Qing army entered Sichuan, and at that time, it can also report to the imperial court that the anti-Qing sentiment in Sichuan is high, and the Qing court has few troops left in Sichuan, and there are Wu Sangui and others to share the responsibility. Now Li Guoying is alone, and after thinking about it, he has to die.

Just when Li Guoying committed suicide, he heard that Qin was coming, and he didn't care about it, so he went out of the camp to meet Qin Cha. As soon as Li Guoying came out of the camp, he saw more than a dozen warriors wearing yellow horse coats, and Li Guoying knew that this was Shunzhi's palace guard. The leader is the celebrity Fu Dali in front of Shunzhi, although Fu Dali is only a third-class guard, but he has a knighthood. Li Guoying didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him and said: "The envoy has worked hard all the way, so let's go in and rest." ”

Fu Dali said proudly: "No need, we are here to announce the decree for the emperor, let's take the decree quickly." Fu Dali came in all the way, and he didn't look at Li Guoying, but Li Guoying didn't dare to be the slightest bit sluggish, there was no way who called himself just a general, Li Guoying first looked down on the Ming army in Sichuan, how could he not be a general in the eyes of the Manchurians?

Li Guoying hurriedly put down the incense case, and knelt in front of the incense case with his subordinates in a proper manner and said: "Slave Li Guoying, kneel to welcome the holy decree and listen to the holy teachings." Fu Dali saw that Li Guoying and his subordinates were kneeling before reading the holy decree. When Li Guoying heard it, he knew that this was the time in June, and Guangyuan Shou reported Li Gongzhi to the imperial court, and reported that the Ming army had captured Jianmen Pass, and the Qing court also knew that it was impossible for Hanzhong to send troops to capture Jianmen Pass, and the consumption of grain and grass for hundreds of miles of Qinling Mountain Road was also immeasurable. So I thought that Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan, was stationed in Chongqing, and the imperial court ordered Li Guoying to send troops to attack the Ming army in the area of Jianmen Pass as soon as possible, open the way for the Qing army to enter Sichuan, and clear the remnants of the enemy in Baoning.

Li Guoying listened to the holy decree read by Fu Dali, and thought in shock: "Oh no, why is the Sword Gate Pass also occupied by the remnants of the Ming Dynasty." Thinking that he was defeated in Xichong. I froze for a moment and didn't know how to answer. Fu Dali saw that Li Guoying didn't move, so he said: "Governor Li accepts the order, why do you want to resist the order?" When Li Guoying heard Fu Dali's words, she trembled with fright and said, "The slave doesn't dare, the slave will do it." As he spoke, he hurriedly stepped forward to receive the holy decree.

Fu Dali said again: "The emperor knows that you Han dogs will not do their best, so let's stay in Sichuan to urge Governor Li to enter and suppress the Ming Dynasty and join the army. Han dogs will only be honest if they are afraid to kill them. ”

When Li Guoying heard Fu Dali say that he would stay and supervise his troops, he immediately smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it clearly, and he didn't know what to do for a while. Fu Dali saw that Li Guoying looked like he wanted to stop talking, and said, "What is the difficulty of Governor Li?" ”

Li Guoying said: "If I go back to Lord Fu, it's not that I don't want to send troops, in fact, before Lord Fu came, I had already sent troops to attack the remnants of the Ming Dynasty in the Baoning area, but it was just ..... It's just," Faudali said, "just what?" By the way, when I first entered the camp, I saw that your army was scattered, the soldiers were languishing, and the flags of the battalions were staggered, and it looked like a military camp. How do you go out of the army? ”

Li Guoying didn't dare to defend and said: "This is all the minions' fault, the main reason is that the minions are careless in Xichong, and they will only be like this after losing the battle." The minions heard that the people in Baoning were in turmoil, so they led the army to encircle and suppress, but they did not conquer the city in Xichong, but the camp was stolen by the rebels, and they were defeated all the way. ”

Fu Dali said: "Isn't it the remnants of the anti-Ming army? Why have you become a rebel again? Li Guoying said: "The minions didn't inquire about the situation of Dao Jianmen Pass for a while, but the southern area was indeed occupied by the rebels, and Dao Baoning's information was interrupted." By the way, Master Fu, I don't know if Li Gongzhu said what banner the Ming army in Jianmen Pass played? ”

Fu Dali thought for a while and said, "Whose banner is not mentioned, it seems to say what kind of vision restoration camp it is." Li Guoying was instantly stunned when he heard the Restoration Camp, because the chaotic people in Xichong were under the banner of the Restoration Camp. Fu Dali found that Li Guoying's expression was wrong, so he asked, "Why did Governor Li find out that something was wrong?" Li Guoying said: "The chaotic people I met in Xichong are also under the banner of the Restoration Camp. ”

Fu Dali was also taken aback, and said, "In this way, the anti-Ming armies in these two places are together?" Li Guoying also said with some disbelief: "Yes, and it's not just these, two days ago, the dog said in the Mianzhou camp that there was a group of Ming troops to attack Mianzhou, and it was also under the banner of the Ming Restoration Battalion." Fu Dali said: "What? This Fuming battalion also went to attack Mianzhou, how many soldiers and horses did this Fuming battalion have, and how did the governor do it, and Gao Minzhan, the governor of Sichuan? Didn't he have a report? ”

Li Guoying said a little frustrated: "Gao Minzhan hasn't reported to me for almost a month, but now it seems that he may not report in Youtang." To go to Jianmen Pass in the south, you must pass through Baoning, and the southern county and Jianmen Pass are lost at the same time, and I am afraid that Baoning will also be lost. Inuzi's letter said that both Zitong and Yanting had discovered the people of the Restoration Camp, so they had already connected Boryeong into a piece. Governor Gao is afraid that he has already been martyred. ”

Fu Dali said hatefully: "He deserves to die, there is such a fight under his rule, and there is no news at all, even if he is alive, I will cut him directly." Fu Dali walked back and forth in the account twice and said: "Governor Li must find out the situation of this Restoration Camp as soon as possible, and he can't fight like this nonsense." I also have to report the situation to the court. ”

Li Guoying hurriedly said: "The slave will do it, there are dogs in Mianzhou, I believe that the Ming Restoration Camp will definitely be stopped in Mianzhou, and the Ming army in Chengdu will not be able to come out." As soon as Li Guoying's words fell, a messenger came in at the door, and said to Li Guoying with a tired face: "Lord Governor, Mianzhou has been lost, and the major general has been martyred in Mianzhou." ”

Li Guoying was shocked: "How, how is it possible, how can Mianzhou be lost?" Li Guoying hurriedly walked the messenger, snatched the letter in his hand and looked at it. The letter was written by Cheng Tingjun, the chief soldier of Chongqing, and after the Mianzhou War, Li Yan's personal soldiers arrived in Chongqing and told Cheng Tingjun about the situation in Mianzhou, and Cheng Tingjun did not dare to hide it, and immediately sent a messenger to meet Li Guoying. Li Guoying looked at Cheng Tingjun's letter, which also said that there was a Fuming battalion that attacked Tongchuan Prefecture in Tongchuan Prefecture, Shehong, and Zhongjiang. Pengxi, Suining, Lezhi, and Anyue are also faintly unstable. I was in a trance for a while, and I didn't know how to get in such a good situation, and my efforts in Sichuan for more than ten years were ruined.

Baoning lost, some time ago said that the Ming army in Kuidong moved to Kuibei and Baoning, that was to meet with Baoning, and now Mianzhou is also lost, the entire northern Sichuan was recaptured by the Ming army, western Sichuan is still in the hands of the Ming army, the Qing army is left in Sichuan, Chongqing, Luzhou and the land of the two prefectures, Wu Sangui entered Guizhou to attack Banzhou, but there are still large and small anti-Qing forces in the local area. What should I do, now that Shunqing Mansion is also lost, Tongchuan Mansion is in danger, how should I explain to the court.

Fu Dali didn't expect the situation in Sichuan to be so bad all of a sudden, and when he saw the danger in Sichuan, he said: "In this case, I will report to the imperial court immediately, Governor Li still needs to reorganize the army and horses to prepare for war, I will immediately set off to return to Beijing, and when the time comes, the governor will have to try his best to plan Sichuan." ”

Li Guoying heard Fu Dali's words and knew that he was going to run away, but now Li Guoying's mind was confused, so he just agreed repeatedly. Fu Dali saw that Li Guoying promised to be happy, and as he spoke, he summoned the guards who came with him to prepare to return to Beijing.

As soon as Fu Dali arrived at the gate of the barracks, he saw three waves of messengers hurrying in from outside. Fu Dali was surprised and returned to the big tent, but saw Li Guoying still standing there in a daze, Fu Dali said directly to the messenger: "What kind of information did you send?" Where did it all come from? ”

One said: "I'm from Kuidong," and the other person next to him said: "I'm from Chengdu Mansion" and the last said: "I'm from Chonghuguang." At this time, Li Guoying also came back to his senses when he heard that someone came from Chengdu and said, "You came from Chengdu Mansion?" What's the matter with you? ”

The messenger of Chengdu Mansion said: "Back to the governor's words, the anti-Ming Xuzhou governor Chen Xixian came to surrender, the day before yesterday, the Luzhou general Cao Chunzhong and Chen Xixian captured Mahu together, Chengdu defender Yang Youcai, Cao Changzuo, the chief He Qi surrendered, Jiading deputy general Hao Chengyi, Wang Youjin, Chen Jianyu Jiading killed Gao Chengen and asked to surrender, Tianquan guard general Yang Xiangui, Lushan Wuyi general Du Xue led the surrender, Qiongzhou general Yang Guoming, Meizhou general Wu Guoyong also surrendered to our army, the general Liu Yao and Chen Anguo fled from Chengdu and were chased to the Xinjin River and killed, Now the pacification of western Sichuan is all under my Qing Dynasty. ”

The messenger from Kuidong also said: "Youyang Xuanzhi envoy Ran Qibiao, Lin Zhou Xuanxuan envoy Xuan Baoshou also asked our army to surrender, the general soldier did not dare to decide, but gave me a report to the governor." Fu Dali and Li Guoying are like in a dream, just now they felt that the efforts of the Qing Dynasty in Sichuan were in vain, and now with a cup of tea, Sichuan has all returned to the embrace of the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, the messenger from Huguang said: "This is not surprising, the emperors who rebelled against the Ming Dynasty have all fled, what else are they resisting?" I don't have to rush to surrender to my Qing Dynasty. Fu Dali then remembered that when he left Beijing, Wang Doni of Xinjun reported to the imperial court, Yongli and Li Dingguo fled to Burma, and Wu Sangui was leading the army to chase after him, but as soon as he came, he was confused by Li Guoying's defeat and a series of news, and he didn't think about it for a while.

Li Guoying has not yet received the report from the imperial court, so he doesn't know this. Now I heard the messenger say this: "Yongli really ran away? Then I forgot about it. No wonder these hypocritical generals have surrendered. God help me, God bless me. ”

At this time, Fu Dali did not return to Beijing, and said to Li Guoying: "In this case, please ask the Governor to surrender to the anti-Ming army that is still resisting, and the Fuming camp can also surrender, as long as he surrenders, we have a way to rectify him." ”

Li Guoying said: "Yes, besides, if the Fuming Battalion really surrenders, you can also let them attack those stubborn bandits in Kuidong, and then clean them up." Saying that, Li Guoying found Deng Ximing, the prefect of Shunqing who fled together, and said: "Now that Zhu Youlang and Li Dingguo have fled to Burma, the anti-Ming army of the Fuming camp will not think about resisting our Qing Dynasty anymore after hearing the news, so now send you to the Fuming camp to surrender, if you can succeed, you will be credited with a great achievement." ”

Deng Ximing said: "If you cultivate more Governor General, your subordinates will definitely live up to the Governor's kindness, and you will definitely say that the Restoration Camp will return to surrender." After Deng Ximing finished speaking, he went to prepare to send an envoy to the Ming Restoration Camp, and at this time, another messenger came in and said to Li Guoying: "Report to the Governor, Chengdu has come to report that Zhao Youyan, the general of Luojiang, and Yu Shi Pang Zhiyong led the army to surrender, and defrauded Mianzhou City, and now they have sent troops to Tongchuan Mansion." ”

Li Guoying laughed when he heard this: "So it seems that we just don't recruit the Fuming camp, and they won't be able to jump for a few days, so let's go to Chongqing quickly and let Cheng Tingjun lead the troops to converge, and Lu Guangzu, the general soldier of Luzhou, led the troops from Chengdu Mansion to converge with Zhao Youyan and others to capture Yanting and march to the south." "A messenger has gone out to deliver a message.

Li Guoying said to Fu Dali at this time: "Master Fu, do you have anything to add?" Fu Dali didn't know the specific situation, so he said: "Your Excellency the Governor has arranged it very properly, and I have nothing to add." Li Guoying said: "Okay, please ask Master Fu to rest for a few days, and when the army is assembled, we will go together to attack Baoning Mansion and exterminate the chaotic people in the Fuming camp." Deng Ximing, you don't have to go, this time I don't have your credit, but you raised the food and grass for the army, and I will also remember your great merit. Li Guoying said happily to Deng Ximing.

Deng Ximing saw that the credit was gone, but he didn't dare to object, and now he heard that Li Guoying still wanted to give himself a great credit, and said happily: "Don't worry, Governor, I have to raise food and grass for the army even if I scrape the ground." ”
