On the way back to Hunan, Sun Kewang was bold enough, and deliberately took a dozen or so entourages to Shangguan Village, Chengbu County (now Yangjiajiang Village, Rulin Town, Chengbu), wanting to meet Yang Qiaoran, who was idle at home.

At this time, Yang Qiaoran, who was living in seclusion at home, made up his "homework" in the backyard of his home and practiced the Yang family's gun and musket marksmanship.

As soon as he entered the village, the leader of the Yang family's private armed forces recognized Sun Kewang at a glance - the former supreme military commander of the Southern Ming Dynasty who had persecuted Yang Qiaoran many times, and the head of the country of Sun Monkey.

The leader aimed his musket at Sun Kewang, who was walking in the forefront: "Raise your hands!" ”

Under the strong pressure of the musket team, Sun Kewang did not fight back, so that his subordinates must not act rashly, because he understood that resistance was futile. The people gave the knives and guns of this group of uninvited guests, tied them up one by one, and immediately reported to the elders of the clan.

Under the instruction of the elders, the Yang family generals planned to correct the law on the spot in the open space in front of the "Yang Clan's Official Hall". The whole village was in an uproar, and Sun Kewang's head was about to land!

Yang Qiaoran ran out of the old mansion and took a look, and saw that the vacant land was tied up by Sun Monkey and other people who came to visit rashly, and he was surprised: he dared to come to the territory of the Yang family general at this juncture.

Out of courtesy, Yang Qiaoran ordered the clansmen to loosen their ties and let them rest in a cool place, and everyone was very puzzled: "General, he is your enemy!" ”。

Yang Qiaoran said: "Those who come are all guests, and when I find out, it's not too late to kill." ”

So, Yang Qiaoran let Sun Monkey into his compound, and Sun Kewang sat down in fear. After a while, the steaming oil tea was served, Sun Kewang hadn't drunk Chengbu oil tea for a long time, so he dried two large bowls in a row and wiped his mouth: "If you put some chili powder and coriander, it will taste better." ”

Yang Qiaoran said with a smile, and said something in his words: "I didn't expect it, the lord of the country still likes to eat fragrant food and drink spicy food, which is rare, rare." ”

Sun Kewang's face was red and white, isn't this scolding himself in disguise? I felt very uncomfortable, and it was not easy to have a seizure: "Lord Governor, don't make fun of Sun, return to the lord of the country, it's all in the past." ”

Yang Qiaoran said; "Thanks to the Lord of the country, I am no longer a governor, but a cloth cloth."

Soon, the oil tea was brought up again, and Sun Kewang hurriedly excused himself and said, "No need, I'm already full-"

Yang Qiaoran said with a smile: "Brother Wang, now that you and I are unofficial, we can drink a few more glasses slowly." ”

Sun Kewang was stunned: "Why?" ”

Yang Qiaoran said: "When you come to Miao's house as a guest, there is a rule for drinking oil tea, I don't think you will forget it, right?" One bowl of robbers, two bowls of thieves, three bowls and four bowls are guests. ”

Sun Kewang picked up the oil tea: "Brother Yang, don't you say that I almost forgot about it." ”

"Brother Wang, why did you come to my humble house today?"

"What does Zhu Youlang have to be an emperor? In terms of qualifications, strategy, and courage, which one is comparable to Brother Yang. ”

"Brother, don't be sarcastic about me, didn't I come back after being defeated by you?"

"That's because your troops are too small, if the strength is comparable, I would have captured you a long time ago."

"I'm a scholar, how can I serve the public?"

"Zhu Youlang is the emperor, I have always been unconvinced. Without the help of you and me, one in the Lord and one outside the Lord, would he have survived to this day? If Brother Qiao Ran had become the emperor, I wouldn't be what I am today. ”

"That's it, that's it. I, Yang, am a fair and upright person, and I have never had the intention of usurping the throne. Whoever is traitorous and who is loyal, you and I know it. ”

"Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou, Kong Youde, Wu Sangui, aren't these people all important generals of the Ming Dynasty? It turned out that he had not taken refuge in the Jurchens. The Ming Dynasty is exhausted, and the Qing court is not useless as rumored......"

"Don't say it, Kong Youde is a hair! It's not like we've killed you. Needless to say, Qinggou kept saying that he was avenging the old master, but in the end, it was not the Jurchens who sat in the Jinluan Treasure Hall in Beijing. If it weren't for Wu Sangui opening the Shanhaiguan, maybe Qinggou would still be herding horses in Liaodong! ”

"Brother Qiao Ran, history has no assumptions. Each of us is making our own history, and it will eventually become history. Nanming is now a rabbit's tail - it can't grow anymore. The son of the Zhao family, the Yang family, the Zhao family is finished, and the Yang family is not still there. Listen to my brother's advice—"

"Even if my Yang family will fight to the last person, I will not serve Qinggou. The braid army is disgusting when you look at it. ”

"You also have to think about the Yang family to retreat, Nanming is gone, where will the Yang family survive?"

"Brother Wang, it's not me who says cool things about you, if you take refuge in the Qing court, there will be no good results, and the friendship between you and me for more than ten years will be cut in two."

"Since that's the case, I won't embarrass Brother Yang. If I surrender to Hong Chengchou, I can guarantee that the lives of the Yang family generals are worry-free. ”

"Everyone has his own aspirations, so go with you. I won't stop you from going, if you continue to serve Nanming with me, I still welcome you. ”

"Let me think about it again."

"Sun Quan is your surname, in the face of Cao Mengde's 800,000 army, you were not frightened, the Western Union Shu Han, with less to win more, why are you also a descendant of the Sun family, you have no confidence in yourself, and you actually believe in the Jurchens? They are the remnants of the Jin Kingdom, and you won't know the shame of Jingkang. ”

"Sun Quan, he's the emperor, I'm not. Naturally, I don't have faith. ”

"You are the lord of the country, but the emperor who has not been crowned. Hey, one thought is wrong, and it will eventually become a big mistake. If you are sincere in resisting the Qing Dynasty, you will stay with me today. ”

"Actually, I also know that it's not that we can't defeat the Qing army, it's that the warlords who hold military power have too many selfish thoughts and have buried their good prospects with their own hands, including my grandson Kewang, of course."

"In this way, I hope that my brother is also self-aware."

"Eight-sided majesty!" Sun Kewang has already drunk eight bowls of oil tea, "It's not too early, so don't leave it here." ”

"I'll give you a ride—"

"No need."

"Without my order, you can't get out of Shangguan Village." ......

Yang Qiaoran looked at Sun Kewang's back as he gradually moved away, and he realized that he had made a big mistake, and Sun Kewang's departure was likely to bring disaster to Nanming.

"I hope Sun Kewang will make the right choice, whether Nanming can escape the catastrophe or not, it will be up to fate." Yang Qiaoran felt vaguely uneasy.

Sun Monkey's descendants were expected to take refuge in the Qing court and became a shameful traitor, and the Qing court gave him a righteous king and specially held a canonization ceremony. Sun Kewang was flattered and shook off Nanming's internal situation to Hong Chengchou, and Nanming's military deployment was exposed.

The Ming army, which was still fierce in battle, was consumed by internal strife, and under the repeated blows of the Qing army, the territory continued to shrink. With Sun Kewang's perspective mirror, Li Dingguo and Yang Qiaoran are powerless to return to the sky.

In 1658, the number one traitor Hong Chengchou commanded the soldiers and horses in the southeast coast and southwest region to manage food and wages, collected a large number of anti-water Southern Ming troops, and united the Eight Banners of the Qing army to attack the southwest region in three ways.

On March 4, the Western Route Army was led by Wu Sangui, the No. 2 traitor Pingxi general, to march south to Yungui and lead the main force to Sichuan with great momentum.

The Bashu Ming army and the anti-Qing forces did not have a unified commander, and they could not be twisted into a rope, and they were broken by Wu Sangui, and the Qing army conquered many areas in succession, occupying the south and Xichong.

On the 14th, Wu Sangui arrived in Hezhou, and the garrison in Hezhou was Du Zixiang, the general soldier of Chongqing in the Southern Ming Dynasty. Hezhou is the north gate of Chongqing, the three rivers in the territory converge, the river water flows downstream, the river surface is wide, and the water is surging. Wu Sangui ordered the Qing army to build a pontoon bridge, and the Qing army's artillery fire covered the sky, but in fact, it could not hit the Ming army at all. Du Zixiang was so frightened that she didn't dare to come out to fight.

In less than an hour, the pontoon bridge had been built, and the Qing soldiers of the brigade began to cross the river across the horse, and the terrified Du Zixiang fled from the battle, and the Ming army, which had no time to escape, was absorbed by Wu Sangui.

In this way, the Qing army occupied Hezhou without a blade of blood, and continued to attack Tongliang and Bishan. Yang Qiaoran supervised the army to meet the battle, and after more than half a month of fierce fighting, the Ming army, which had lost its geographical advantage, was repelled by the Qing army, and Yang Qiaoran had to retreat to Chongqing City, asking Li Dingguo and the Ming army in other prefectures and counties to send troops to rescue.

Yang Qiaoran, who was alone in Chongqing, led the Yang family to kill a large number of Qing soldiers in the group, and formed a confrontation with Wu Sangui, but the rescue of the Ming army was delayed. The weapons and food were about to run out, and Yang Qiaoran was almost desperate.

Wu Sangui had several encounters with Yang Qiaoran when he was in Beijing in his early years, so Wu Sangui sent Sun Kewang into the city to recruit Yang Qiaoran and reduce unnecessary casualties as much as possible.

"Brother Yang, we're meeting again, how are we doing?" Sun Kewang said with a sneer.

"Sun Monkey, thanks to you, I'm very good!" Yang Qiaoran scolded angrily.

"Brother Yang, don't be so angry. If it weren't for the nostalgia of the past, I wouldn't be here today. Sun Kewang was tepid.

Yang Qiaoran pondered, Sun Kewang will not let go of this opportunity, if the surrender is successful, Sun Monkey can make a great contribution again, why don't I fool him?

So, Yang Qiaoran sat down and said to Sun Kewang calmly: "Lord, let me think about it for three days before I reply to you, how about it?" ”

Sun Kewang knew that Yang Qiaoran was likely to use a delaying tactic, but he expected that Yang Qiaoran would not be able to run away from the temple if the monk ran away, so he smiled: "Brother Yang, it's refreshing enough, I'll give you three days." With that, he went out......

Wu Sangui was overjoyed to learn that Yang Qiaoran intended to surrender, so according to the agreement between the two parties, Wu Sangui ordered the Qing army to stop the siege and took the initiative to retreat ten miles.

On the evening of the third day, Yang Qiaoran ordered all the soldiers to get dressed up and quietly withdrew from the south gate. After leaving the city gate, seeing that the Qing army was not aware of anything, the whole army quickly quickened its pace, marched rapidly overnight, and went from the southwest to the direction of Yunnan Road.

After dawn, Wu Sangui saw that there was no movement in the city, and sent Sun Kewang into the city again to surrender. The city gate was opened by some civilians wearing Ming army uniforms, Sun Kewang with many years of military experience, and shouted in his heart: "Yang Qiaoran used the golden cicada to escape the shell and successfully escaped ......"
