Section 47 The Great Zhou was defeated and divided up its momentum

Under the city of Kunming, corpses were everywhere, shouting and killing shook the sky, Wu Sangui, and the 10,000 forbidden troops under his command all held the belief that they would die, even if they fought to the last soldier, they would never surrender. This is bound to cause a lot of trouble to Zheng Kezang and even the 30,000 forbidden troops under his command. This last battle of Wu Sangui lasted for more than three hours, and Wu Sangui's side was wiped out, but Zheng Kezang's side also suffered a lot of losses.

"Hahaha......" Although Wu Sangui fell in a pool of blood, although he was extremely embarrassed, he still looked up to the sky and laughed, as if it was not him who failed, but Zheng Kezang. Zheng Kezang sat on the horseback, condescending, and sneered: "Wu Sangui, are you happy too early?" Do you really think that this king can't see your plan of 'cultivating channels openly and secretly crossing Chen Cang'? Didn't you see that the number of the king's forbidden army this time was wrong, and there were more than 10,000 men and horses? ”

"You ......" Wu Sangui's expression changed greatly, and he looked at Zheng Kezang in horror. ......Suddenly, a fast horse galloped over, came to Zheng Kezang, turned over and dismounted, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, the two generals of Zhou and Wu came to report, although they caught up with Wu Shifan and others according to the instructions of the prince, but they were one step late, let them join the 10,000 army of Xia Guoxiang, and were fleeing to the direction of SC Province. The two generals asked the prince whether to continue the pursuit? "Well, that's great! God bless me Da Zhou, hahaha......" When Wu Sangui heard the battle report, he immediately turned his worries into joy, and laughed again.

Zheng Kezang was stunned, and ordered in a deep voice: "Order Zhou Rui and Wu Guang not to pursue, immediately collect their troops, and follow this king to take the entire YN Province as soon as possible." "Yes!" The messengers were ordered to go. Zheng Kezang focused on Wu Sangui again, and asked with a smile: "Wu Sangui, do you feel strange, why did this king order not to continue to pursue your precious grandson?" Subsequently, without waiting for Wu Sangui to behave, he had already answered directly: "This king sent people to chase your precious grandson, because he was afraid that he would be incognito from now on, if this is the case, it will more or less leave trouble for this king." Now, since he has been saved by Xia Guoxiang, I am afraid that no matter whether he wants to or not, he will be forced to take the throne. When Wu Sangui heard this, his pupils contracted slightly, and he regretted a little in his heart, did he really do the right thing by putting the future of the Great Zhou Dynasty on his young shoulders?

Zheng Kezang looked into the distance, and seemed to have seen the bleak end of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and said leisurely: "Wu Sangui, I'm afraid you don't know yet, now the Qing court has begun to frequently mobilize troops and horses, and will soon send heavy troops to attack your Great Zhou Dynasty." Even if this king doesn't interfere, he just sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight, do you think that with the current situation of your Great Zhou Dynasty, how long can you resist the Qing court? Therefore, Wu Sangui, the end of your Great Zhou Dynasty is at the end of the road, and the fate of your precious grandson was also decided when you sent someone to send him away and was rescued by the Prime Minister of Xia. "No, it won't......" Wu Sangui couldn't stay calm anymore, and he couldn't regret it, and then he couldn't hold on anymore and died with hatred.

Wu Sangui, a generation of heroes, died at the hands of Zheng Kezang, and his Great Zhou Dynasty began to count down to defeat. In the next three months, Zheng Kezang successively captured the entire territory of YN Province and GZ Province, adding the land of Yungui to the territory of the Great Zheng Dynasty. Subsequently, Zheng Kezang ordered the whole army to enter a short period of recuperation, and in the past year, although the Great Zheng Dynasty has achieved a lot of results, it has also suffered a lot of losses, and there is a lack of people and horses. Zheng Kezang decided to rest for half a year, sit and watch the changes in the Qing court and the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then attack with the whole army to completely destroy the Great Zhou Dynasty.

On the other side, Xia Guoxiang led the remnants of the 10,000 army and escorted Wu Shifan all the way to the territory of SC Province. However, after this campaign, whether it is Wu Shifan or Xia Guoxiang, they have been frightened by Zheng Kezang, and SC Province is adjacent to the newly acquired Yungui Land of the Great Zheng Dynasty, and the two of them are really unwilling to stay in SC Province for more. As for Li Benshen, he is used to being the emperor of the soil in SC Province, and he doesn't want to have another Xiao Zhou King on his head to point fingers, and he is also thinking about how to send the two out of SC Province. The two sides hit it off, and Li Benshen sent another 30,000 troops under the command of Xia Guoxiang to escort Wu Shifan all the way to HB Province.

In fact, in addition to HB Province, Wu Shifan and Xia Guoxiang have another choice, that is, GS Province. However, the Qing court frequently mobilized troops and horses, and the soldiers were directed at the two provinces of GSHB, and the total army of GS Province was very high, although he could fight well and had the style of a generation of famous generals, but he was arrogant and was bound to be unwilling to ask for help. These two times, Gao Dejie has been dissatisfied with Wu Sangui for a long time, and I am afraid that they will be like Li Benshen, and they are not welcome. And Wang Pingfan, the chief soldier of HB Province, although he also had some yin and yang disobedience to Wu Sangui in the later period, he was Wu Sangui's righteous son after all, and he had a lifelong friendship with Xia Guoxiang, so he would always take care of the old feelings, which is also an important reason why Wu Shifan and Xia Guoxiang did not choose GS Province, but chose HB Province, the place of four wars.

Under the joint support of Xia Guoxiang and Wang Pingfan, Wu Shifan succeeded Zhou in HB Province. Not only that, in order to encourage the morale of the army and reverse the unfavorable situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu Shifan was proclaimed emperor in Wuchang City, named the country "Zhou", posthumously named Wu Sangui as Emperor Taizu Zhaowu, and rewarded the ministers, such as Xia Guoxiang, Wang Pingfan, and the general soldiers of the provinces, Gao Dejie of GS, Li Benshen of SC, and Li Bo of HN, all of whom were named princes of the opposite sex.

The so-called "if the heavens want to make it die, they must first make it crazy", even Zheng Kezang did not dare to rashly claim the emperor, how could he Wu Shifan, dare to call the emperor? In this way, the Great Zhou Dynasty is bound to become the target of the whole world, and Kangxi will not allow him to continue to exist. Even if Kangxi had any other thoughts before, he now had to give an order to comprehensively crusade against the Great Zhou Dynasty. Otherwise, his prestige will inevitably be hit hard, and even if he can calm the world in the future, it will leave a big stain, and this is what Kangxi can't bear the most.

In the same month, the Kangxi soldiers were divided into two routes, one route was sent by SX Province to attack GS Province; On the other hand, the HN province sent troops to take the HB province where Wu Shifan was located. However, the Qing court is also not incompetent, and these two armies are also divided into primary and secondary. The Qing army attacking GS Province gathered nearly half of the main forces of the Qing court, intending to take GS Province in a battle. As for the army attacking HB Province, it is a bluff, although it is pressing step by step, but it is more to contain the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so that the soldiers and horses of all provinces go to rescue HB Province, and have no time to take care of GS Province. Of course, if the Great Zhou Dynasty saw through Kangxi's strategy and didn't go to the rescue of HB Province, Kangxi would definitely not mind taking advantage of the situation to take HB Province.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has reached this most critical juncture, if the provinces no longer understand the truth of death, it will really not be far from defeat. The development of the situation was also as expected by the Qing court, whether it was Li Benshen in SC Province or Li Bo in HN Province, they gathered nearly half of the troops and horses in the province to reinforce HB Province. As for GS Province, it can no longer be taken into account.

Half a year later, the main force of the Qing court advanced into Lanzhou Mansion and besieged Gao Dejie in Lanzhou City. Gao Dejie was isolated and helpless, trapped in the city of Lanzhou for more than a month, and ran out of food and grass, and finally died of shame. After the death of Gao Dejie, his lieutenant Kaesong surrendered, and the Qing court finally pacified GS Province after more than half a year of campaigning, and brought it back under its rule. Subsequently, Kangxi mobilized all the main forces to conquer the HB province where Wu Shifan was located, intending to completely exterminate the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After more than half a year of rest, Zheng Kezang's great Zheng Dynasty military horses have long returned to their old outlook. Zheng Kezang once again drove his own expedition, but instead of participating in the conquest between the Qing court and the Great Zhou Dynasty in Huguang, he went to attack the SC province defended by Li Benshen. Although SC Province is easy to defend and difficult to attack, nearly half of the soldiers and horses in its province have been transferred to HB Province, and the defensive forces are inevitably a little empty, which also greatly reduces the difficulty of Zheng Kezang's capture.

On the Qing court's side, Kangxi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after learning the news of Zheng Kezang's personal expedition to SC Province. Although after taking SC Province, Zheng Kezang's Great Zheng Dynasty is bound to be more powerful and more difficult to deal with, but at present, the Qing court has no more troops to stop it. However, fortunately, while Zheng Kezang set his sights on SC Province, as long as the Qing court could successfully take HBHN, a vast land of lakes and lakes, and successfully open a gap along the Yangtze River, it would be able to have a certain initiative in the decisive battle with Zheng Kezang's Great Zheng Dynasty after the complete destruction of the Great Zhou Dynasty. For this reason, Kangxi even ignored the damage, and ordered the whole army to capture HB Province as soon as possible, and then capture HN Province.

The Qing army was like a bamboo, and the Zhou army in HB Province was defeated and retreated. Wu Shifan's urgent documents were sent one after another to Li Benshen in SC Province and Li Bo in HN Province. After receiving Wu Shifan's urgent document, Li Bo did not hesitate to use the remaining troops in HN Province to personally support Wu Shifan. As for Li Benshen, he was a little hesitant, and for a while, it was difficult to make up his mind. At present, Zheng Kezang's army has entered the territory of SC Province, and it is about to attack his CD city in the near future, if he deploys troops to support Wu Shifan at this time, and does not say whether he can hold HB Province in the end, but this is equivalent to giving up the entire SC Province to Zheng Kezang.

And just when Li Benshen was still hesitating, a letter from Li Bo finally made Li Benshen completely determined. In the letter, he bitterly complained about the interests and key points, and said that if HB Province was lost again, if Wu Shifan had any three longs and two shorts, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty would be bound to be wiped out. At that time, even if Li Benshen can hold SC Province, what is the use? The final defeat is only a difference between sooner or later. It is better to gather the forces of the provinces, completely repel the Qing army in HB Province first, and then slowly plan it, so that there will be a glimmer of life.

Since Li Benshen had made up his mind, he did not delay any longer, gathered all the troops under his command overnight, abandoned CD City, and rushed to HB Province to join Wu Shifan. As soon as Li Benshen's army was launched, Zheng Kezang had already received the news, but he did not stop him and let him leave. can take the entire SC Province without blood, why not Zheng Kezang. Three months later, Zheng Kezang swallowed the entire territory of SC Province without spending a single soldier. Next, Zheng Kezang can return to the dynasty as a teacher, solve the pain of lovesickness with Chen Yan'er, smile at the changes, and wait for the Qing court and the Great Zhou Dynasty to lose.

In the territory of HB Province, the conquest between the Qing court and the Great Zhou Dynasty was in full swing. And Wu Shifan has the addition of Li Benshen and Li Bo, the two new military forces, the good days of the Qing army can be regarded as over, and they can no longer be as smooth as before, so invincible and invincible. Regarding Zheng Kezang's move to reap the benefits of the fisherman, Kangxi hated it, but he was helpless. So far, he can only take down Wu Shifan as soon as possible and reduce his losses as much as possible, so as not to give Zheng Kezang too many opportunities.

As time passed, Kangxi mobilized the strength of the whole country to attack HB Province, and Wu Shifan's situation became more and more difficult. The reason why Kangxi dared to do this was because he calculated that before he and Wu Shifan split the victory, Zheng Kezang would not rush to send troops, whether it was to participate in the battle between the two sides, or to attack other territories under his rule. Things were as Kangxi expected, Zheng Kezang did not intend to send troops at this time, and the strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight was wasted early in the morning. What about attacking the other provinces of the Qing court? Once Zheng Kezang really did this, it would definitely make the Qing court bring troops back to help, and then give Wu Shifan a chance to breathe, which was very different from his original intention. What's more, it is difficult to guarantee that Wu Shifan will one day not be hot-headed and surrender to the Qing court, which will really make Zheng Kezang have no place to cry. Besides, Zheng Kezang has already prepared a backhand, and he will definitely surprise the world at that time.

Time flies, and after nearly a year, the Qing court has successfully occupied the capitals of HB Province north of the Yangtze River, although it has paid a lot of money. Wu Shifan, Xia Guoxiang, Li Benshen and others were besieged in Wuchang City, and only Li Bo escaped because he had to guard several state capitals of HB Province south of the Yangtze River, and was not in Wuchang City. And Wu Shifan and others are not without a chance, you must know that at this moment, there are nearly 60,000 troops under Li Bo's command, if he is willing to break the cauldron and come to the rescue, Wu Shifan may still have a chance to live. Of course, Kangxi is not stupid, he has already laid a net in Wuchang Mansion, just waiting for Li Bo to throw himself into the net. If they can really take Li Bo and his 60,000 troops in one fell swoop, the Qing army can take advantage of the opportunity to capture the entire HB Province and even the HN Province as quickly as possible.

It can be said that the final key to this protracted decisive battle between the Qing court and the Great Zhou Dynasty was in the hands of Li Bo. It's a pity that neither the Qing court nor the Great Zhou Dynasty expected that Li Bo would suddenly change his flag and completely surrender to Zheng Kezang at this time. Not only the entire territory of HN Province, but even the state capitals of HB Province south of the Yangtze River have been in the hands of Zheng Kezang in just three days, which is obviously premeditated.

In Wuchang City, after receiving the news, Wu Shifan vomited three liters of blood, completely despaired, and hanged himself on the top of the city tower. At this point, the Great Zhou Dynasty completely disappeared and became history.
