In the fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to consolidate the rule of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, set up the Dingliao Duwei, and placed Liaoyang Mansion and County, and moved the people of the Central Plains to live in Tun.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, after the court discussion, Dingliao Duwei was changed to Liaodong Dusi, and the administrative office was set up in Dingliao Zuowei, under the jurisdiction of 25 Wei and two states.

In the tenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang made changes to the organizational plan for the last time, and he deposed all the prefectures and counties in Liaodong, leaving only the guards.

The situation of Wufuju Town in Liaodong has continued since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, the Jin army withdrew from Shenyang, and with the sudden turn of the wind, it swept to the area of Liaoyang, and the troops surrounded the Liaozuo Acropolis.

On the way south, Nurhachi temporarily changed his mind and did not go straight to Liaoyang, but decided to gradually encroach on the guards around Liaoyang.

As the seat of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division in Liaodong, the Dingliaozuo Acropolis has always been garrisoned by more than 10,000 troops and horses led by Zou Chuxian, deputy commander of Liaoyang.

Zou Chuxian, the only son of the Zou family of Liaodong Jiangmen.

Father Zou He, followed Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, and was the general of Liaodong Iron Cavalry under his subordinates.

In the spring of the forty-sixth year of Wanli, the Houjin army broke Fushun, the slaughter was very heavy, the soldiers were near the Qinghe, and Zou He, who was forty years old and had been at home, refused to fight, and died in the battle.

Because Zou He's resistance was too fierce, Hu Erhan, who was in charge of attacking the city at that time, ordered the city to be slaughtered.

When the Qinghe fell and the whole family died, Zou Chuxian was shadowing his father's merits and was placed by the imperial court in Dingliao Zuo Acropolis as the general manager.

In the five years since he served as President Qian, Zou Chuxian was finally recommended by Xiong Tingbi for "affirming discipline, recruiting soldiers from all directions, and trying to make a big move".

Later, Zhu Youxiao approved the performance of Zhu Biyu on a certain day, and Zou Chuxian was promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaoyang in the winter of the second year of the Apocalypse, and led his troops to garrison the Dingliaozuo Acropolis.

Now Zou Chuxian already has a happy family in Zuo Acropolis.

He had a virtuous wife, a sensible young son, and many lieutenant generals and colonels as brothers, and if there had been no war, such a life would have been happy.

However, all this was broken on one day in April of the third year of the Apocalypse.

......

Accompanied by the wind and sand, countless horsemen of the Houjin army arrived at the foot of the Dingliao Left Acropolis, led by the pioneer of Nurhachi's own life, Sanbeile Amin.

On this day, the wind and sand "whirring" were blowing, and they were particularly violent.

The Ming army was in the opposite direction of the wind, and the soldiers patrolling the city were sometimes blinded by the wind and sand, and they couldn't even see clearly within ten steps, let alone find the Jiannu army hundreds of steps away.

Recently, Zou Chuxian has not been idle.

A few days ago, he found out that an officer whom he trusted very much had falsely reported the number of soldiers, swallowed up food and salaries, and sucked the blood of soldiers, and he could not help but be greatly annoyed.

Zou Chuxian originally wanted to deal with this general heavily, but when he was still in the war, when he was employing people, he severely reprimanded him, so he ordered this general to be in charge of patrolling in Nancheng, hoping that he would make meritorious contributions.

After all, this man knew that he was very brave in battle, and it would be a pity if he was punished for such an incident.

That night, Zou Chuxian read "The Art of War" for a while, and felt a little tired, so he stretched his waist and called his youngest son to prepare to test what he had learned today.

According to the rules of the past, after passing the literacy test, you have to go to bed.

"Whoever governs the crowd is like the widow, and the score is also. The fighting crowd is like fighting the widows, and the name is also..."

"The crowd of the three armies can make those who are bound to be defeated by the enemy, and it is strange that it is also. What the soldiers add, such as those who throw eggs with the shackles, is also the real and the false..."

Zou Mingli's immature recitation echoed in the hall.

Zou Chuxian looked at him with satisfaction, and saw the shadow of his childhood. Back then, this is how my father taught me to read military books.

For the children of Jiangmen, this is just a compulsory course from an early age.

At this moment, an officer ran into the courtyard in a panic, but before the person arrived, a trembling voice arrived first:

"Oh no, General, the slaves are attacking the city!"

"What?"

The military book in Zou Chuxian's hand fell to the ground, got up suddenly, subconsciously picked up the saber on the table, and asked, "Wang Xuan, why did you come to report?" ”

"The end will be a death penalty!"

The officer's name was Wang Xuan.

At this time, when he saw the loud Shangguan, he also cried bitterly, remorseful, and said: "Today's wind and sand in the sky, the soldiers can't open their eyes, and I just know——"

"Stopped!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zou Chuxian interrupted impatiently, clenched his saber, and said as he walked:

"The slave army has besieged the city, so don't make a reason in front of the general!"

After taking a few steps, he turned around and said coldly:

"Wang Xuan, you are also a brave general, if I were you, I would fight to the death with the slaves at the head of the city, and the left guard was lost, even I could not escape the blame!"

The remorse in Wang Xuan's eyes gradually turned into perseverance, and he stood up and said loudly:

"If the last general can't defend the land and kill the enemy, how can he see the people of the city and the soldiers of the whole army again?"

"General rest assured, the last general will lead his troops to the city and fight with those Jiannu!"

Zou Chuxian snorted coldly and did not reply, at this time his whole body was tightly tied to the safety of the Dingliao Left Acropolis, as well as the people of the city.

"Zou Chuxian, the Great Khan knows that you are a fierce general, so he ordered me to come and surrender. If you surrender today, you will be safe! ”

"As far as I know, the entire Ru Zou clan is all in the city, right?"

"You are the only son of the Zou family, come down, the lord of the Ming Dynasty is faint and mediocre, afraid of the enemy and avoids war, the country is ruined, and the number of qi is exhausted!"

"Your father and I are good friends, surrender to Dajin, and I will introduce you to the Great Khan. From now on, fame and fortune are all in hand, wouldn't it be better than staying in this border town where birds don't! ”

Under the city, Li Yongfang is persuading him to surrender.

Speaking of Li Yongfang, there is no one in the current Ming Dynasty who does not hate, Fan Wencheng is the first literati slave, but Li Yongfang is the first court general to surrender to Jiannu.

Before him, the commander-in-chief surrendered to the barbarians, and there was no such precedent.

Li Yongfang and his father Zou He are world friends, and this time they came to persuade them to surrender, in fact, it was also Fan Wencheng's suggestion, using the relationship between relatives and friends, it is best to take the left acropolis without blood.

Zou Chuxian didn't expect this national scum to dare to come to persuade him to surrender, he sneered again and again, and replied without hesitation:

"Ertou Jiannu is really a disloyal and unrighteous person! This general is the deputy commander-in-chief of Liaoyang of the Ming Dynasty, how can there be a reason to surrender slaves! ”

"Li Yongfang, for the sake of the relationship between you and my father in the past, I won't kill you, go back and tell your slave chief, the fake gold is already a grasshopper after the autumn, and it won't be able to jump for a few days!"

Li Yongfang's face was flushed, and he couldn't speak.

The children who used to play around on their laps now understand the righteousness so well that they would rather die with the city than come here to enjoy the glory and wealth.

Look at yourself again...

Alas! That's it!

Li Yongfang returned in vain, Amin was unexpected, he looked at Zou Chuxian at the head of the city, and said with a sneer: "It seems that this Ming general still understands some big truths!" ”

Advisor Amin: "What's his name?" ”

One person replied: "Sanbeile, called Zou Chuxian!" ”

Amin nodded and ordered:

"Tell me to go down, immediately wave the army to attack the city, after the city is broken, there will be no chickens and dogs left!"

"Since Zou Chuxian wants to abide by his righteousness, Dajin also wants to be an adult, and he wants to obey his wishes!"
