Kunming, Zhu Youlang, the Emperor Yongli, who was still immersed in the good news of King Jin's defeat of Sun Kewang, connected to several evil news on March 1. The three armies of the Qing court attacked Guizhou from Sichuan, Hunan and Guangxi at the same time. Guiyang has been occupied by the Qing army. The three Qing army will advance to Qianxi and enter Yunnan to attack Kunming at any time.

In the direction of Sichuan, Wu Sangui and Li Guohan's troops had already captured Chongqing. On March 25, Wu Sangui's troops advanced to Shitai Pass in Tongzi County, Guizhou. The mountains of Shitai Pass were high and narrow, and the roads were narrow, and the upper was running through the nine heavens, and the lower was falling into the abyss. This pass was said to be a guard alone, and tens of thousands of men could not be opened. However, such a dangerous pass was easily broken by Wu Sangui's troops. On the 30th, Wu Sangui's troops occupied Zunyi, and the guard Guo Liai led more than 5,000 soldiers to surrender. After occupying Zunyi, Wu Sangui sent Li Guohan to continue to lead his troops south. After Xifeng, Zazuo arrived in Guiyang to meet with the general Luo Tuo of the Nanjing Kou in Ning. Li Guohan defeated the general Yang Wu of the Ming general in Kaizhou. Wu Sangui rested his troops and surrendered to Guizhou officials in Zunyi, and surrendered to Guizhou officials in one south. Shuixi Xuanwei's troops, Ran Qiqiao, Xiyang Xuanwei's officer, Xingning Bo Wang Xing and others surrendered to the Qing Dynasty one after another.

After meeting with Shi Guoan and others, the Qing army of the Qing army heading south from Guangxi, Zhao Butai's troops immediately entered Guizhou, captured Dushan and Duyun, and occupied most prefectures and counties east of Guiyang. In order to deal with the crisis in Guizhou, the Yongli court appointed the chieftain Luo Dashun as the commander-in-chief, and asked him to lead troops to recover Qingping and add new guards. He ordered the general Zhang Xianbi's troops to counterattack Guiyang, but they were all defeated by the Qing army because of their weak force.

The Qing army in the middle of Hunan, led by General Roto, the Kou general of Ningnanjing, broke through the defense line of the Southern Ming army without any effort. On the 29th, the governor of Anshun of the Southern Ming Dynasty was killed in battle.

The three Qing army marched south at the same time, but the Ming army was defeated in front of him. Under Sun Kewang's temptation, the Southern Ming army surrendered to the Ming army in an established manner. There was almost no resistance. The defense lines in Xiangxi, Sichuan and Guangxi, which had been stalemate with the Qing army for a long time, quickly collapsed.

When the situation in Guizhou collapsed, Li Dingguo, the King of Jin who defeated Sun Kewang in Qujing, did not respond in time, and even did not make arrangements when the Qing army marched south in February. Instead, he was in Kunming to pacify Sun Kewang's commanders.

Bai Wenxuan was promoted to King Gongchang by Duke Gong, Ma Jinzhong was promoted to King Hanyang by Duke E, Feng Shuangli was promoted to King Qingyang by Duke Xingguo, Ma Bao was promoted to Duke Huai by Andingbo, Ma Weixing was promoted to Duke Xu by Xingshanbo, Jin Tongwu was promoted to Marquis of Pingyang by Pingyang, Qi Sansheng was promoted to Marquis of Xianning by Weiningbo, Gao Wengui was promoted to Marquis of Guangchangbo, and the other meritorious generals were promoted to reward respectively.

Sun Kewang's generals Di Sanpin, Wang Hui, Zhang Guangcui and others were demoted by Li Dingguo on the charge of supporting Kewang's party. Wang Ziqi, Zhang Mingzhi, Guan Youcai, who were stationed in Chuxiong and Yongchang, had accepted Sun Kewang's secret order and was preparing to invade Kunming in the east. After Sun Kewang's defeat, Li Dingguo did not pardon their crimes and pacify them in order to quickly stabilize the situation. Instead, he personally led his army to attack Yixi, captured Guan Youcai and surrendered Zhang Mingzhi. Wang Ziqi was defeated and left Tengyue, and committed suicide.

After Li Dingguo returned to Kunming with great victory, Shu King Liu Wenxiu won Sun Kewang's general Zhang Hu at the west of the water and ordered people to send him to the provincial capital. Li Dingguo ordered the general Zhang Hu and Guan Youcai to cut him alive together. This made Sun Kewang's old subordinates very dissatisfied with the King of Jin and became more and more dispersed.

The King of Jin settled Sun Kewang's generals, but Emperor Yongli supported it, but he did not expect that while Li Dingguo purged Sun Kewang's generals, he also became suspicious of King Liu Wenxiu of Shu.

Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu both enjoyed a high prestige in the former Daxi Army. After joining the Ming and the Qing dynasties, the two of them stood alone and commanded major battles many times. They also joined forces to welcome Yongli to enter Yunnan and pacify Sun Kewang's rebellion. In short, the military achievements of Shu King Liu Wenxiu were not as good as Li Dingguo, but in order to stabilize the situation and appease people's hearts, Liu Wenxiu did more than Li Dingguo.

After the Battle of Jiaoshui, Liu Wenxiu led his troops to pursue Sun Kewang, and at the same time he also had the important task of stabilizing the situation in Guizhou, so as not to take the opportunity to go south. Although he did not capture Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu timely appeased more than 30,000 soldiers and generals under Sun Kewang, stabilizing the situation in Guizhou. The Ming army still defended most of Sichuan and Huguang Wugang front line to confront the Qing army.

After stabilizing the situation in Guizhou, Liu Wenxiu submitted a memorial to ask Emperor Yongli to move to Guiyang, which would stabilize the situation even more. It also reflected the court's enterprising spirit, which shocked the Qing army to dare not act rashly and persuade him. Yongli agreed to this suggestion and ordered the Ministry of Rites to start arbitrarily. Unexpectedly, King Li Dingguo of Jin was very dissatisfied when he learned the news when he was seeking Wang Ziqi, who was entrenched in Yongchang, and wrote a memorial to report his illness. In this way, Yongli forced Yongli to give up moving to Guiyang. Yongli could not resist Li Dingguo, and could not leave Li Dingguo, so he had to send someone to comfort him. He also agreed to Li Dingguo's request to transfer all the subordinates who were guarding Sichuan Chu and border towns back to Yunnan. Finally, Emperor Yongli called on Emperor Liu Wenxiu to recall King Shu Liu, which resulted in the loss of unified command of the front line army and the hearts of people were immediately unstable.

After Li Dingguo returned to Kunming, he did not immediately arrange to enter Guizhou to resist the deployment of the Qing army. Instead, he launched a large-scale Jin army and Qin army, and adopted a discriminatory policy against Sun Kewang's subordinates, which made these Jiafeng army extremely disappointed with the court and the King of Jin.

After Liu Wenxiu was recalled to Kunming, Emperor Yongli should have comforted him, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked Sun Kewang how he escaped?

Liu Wenxiu replied: "When Sun Kewang was defeated at that time, he unexpectedly walked on a small road. I took many soldiers to chase him from the main road. When I arrived at Panjiang, I asked the bridge soldiers and said, "I have never passed since then. I first knew that I had to run away from the main road, so I had to chase him from the main road. I hope that there were less than a hundred horses, and there were horses everywhere. He did not say that he would be defeated, who would not accept it? I went there overnight. I only stood one day and one stop, so I couldn't catch up. When I arrived in Guizhou, Feng Shuangli said that it had been four days since I left. Then I sent another army to chase him, but it was nowhere to be reached, so I hope that I could escape."

Yongli was silent for a long time before saying, "If you can't catch it, you shouldn't chase him. Now you won't catch him, and if you win, you will be able to fight against him, and you will be afraid that the disaster in southern Yunnan will not be far away."

Liu Wenxiu knew that he was not as good as Li Dingguo in Yongli, and the emperor could not listen to his opinions, so he felt very depressed and said to others privately: "Retreat the wolf and advance to the tiger, and the King of Jin will definitely defeat the country."

After being deprived of military power, Liu Wenxiu became increasingly negative. As soon as he left the court, he often refused to go to the court and did not leave the palace. He only handed over all military affairs to the guard Chen Jian for cooking. Soon he became bedridden. Yongli and Li Dingguo both visited him and comforted him again and again, and sent doctors to treat him, but Liu Wenxiu had a heart disease and had no cure.

When Liu Wenxiu got sick, Wu Sangui stationed in Zunyi, Luo Tou stationed in Guiyang, Zhao Butai stationed in Dushan, and Duyun. The Qing army had already met, but the main force of the Ming army was still in Yunnan. At this time, even if Li Ding and the Kuomintang-General's army headed north, it would be difficult to reverse the situation.

The deterioration of the situation made Yongli feel at a loss. He cried at Queen Wang. The palace servants were so scared that they didn't dare to enter. Princess Zhu Shuyi didn't dare to go in, but he vaguely heard his nephew's emperor saying, "The Ming Dynasty is afraid there is no hope."

Princess Changle was uneasy when her nephew's emperor's words. When she thought of the scene in Guangzhou ten years ago, she immediately felt like a dangerous boat in the vast sea. As long as there was a wave hit, she would immediately collapse.

In the inner hall, Zhu Youlang closed his lips tightly, his face was ashen, and his blood-covered eyes stared at his feet motionlessly. He seemed to feel his fate hazy, and he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable fear in his heart. He looked at the shaking candle flames beside the imperial desk, and suddenly had a thought: Will he be like the candle flames that are about to burn out and shaking? Thinking of this, he walked uneasy, and the candlelight cast his shaking figure back and forth on the golden wall of the peeling of patent skin. Queen Wang on one side was also sad when she saw her husband like this. Somehow the situation suddenly became so corrupt. She only hoped that the King of Jin, who had led his army north to Guizhou, could show his courage again. He kept the Ming Dynasty and prevented her and her husband from wandering away again.

At this time, Li Dingguo, hundreds of miles away, was also as anxious as Yongli, and could not sleep all night. He had led his army to Heishi Ferry, Guizhou, preparing to fight against the Qing army of Wu Sangui's army, but the Qing army severely damaged Li Dingguo's army with a wait-for-work.

In the battle of Black Stone Du, Wu Sangui's army won a great victory, Li Dingguo lost nearly 10,000 people, and his general Liu Tai was killed in battle. Wu Sangui's army also lost more than 4,000 people. After the defeat in the first battle, Li Dingguo Xingye led his troops to retreat to Qixing Pass.

Wu Sangui won the first battle. He became even more arrogant and made the first contribution to destroying the country. He ordered the army to immediately go to Qixing Pass. The dust stirred by tens of thousands of Qing troops was like yellow fog, covering up the green mountains, green waters, blue sky and white clouds.

The proud Wu Sangui whipped the black and shiny horse under his crotch with force, and the horse rushed forward like a gust of wind. In a blink of an eye, King Pingxi rushed to the front of the Qing army brigade, so that all Qing troops could see the head coach.

Under the leadership of Wu Sangui, the Qing cavalry let go of the horse's hooves, the infantry pulled their legs apart, and rushed forward desperately. The dusk was vast and the mountains were lost. The mountains at Qixing Pass were gradually shrouded in the night and turned into darkness.

For two consecutive days, the Qing army, which was constantly moving, had three layers inside and three layers outside, surrounded the Qixing Pass like an iron barrel. During the day, soldiers were like ants, and bonfires were lit at night.

Late at night on April 13, the Qing army, who had suffered several bloody battles, were exhausted. They lit bonfires all over the mountains and rested in trivial matters. The bonfires on the four sides shone the dangerous mountains near Qixing Pass as daytime.

King Li Dingguo of Jin was wearing a black satin cloak, like a stone sculpture, standing motionlessly on the wall of Qixing Pass. His bloody battles made him red in his eyes. Although the Qing army was repelled after attacks, the Qing soldiers were numerous, so how could he stay in Gu Pass for a long time?

Looking at the Qing army that was covered with lights all over the mountains and the city, Li Dingguo felt like a huge rock that could not be lifted. If the Seven Star Pass was lost again, the Qing army would march straight into Yunnan, and Kunming would probably not be able to defend it!

At this time, Li Dingguo had already regretted that he should not have missed the opportunity to fight, that he should not have transferred the front line leader back, that he should not have recalled the King of Shu, which caused the situation in Guizhou to collapse in a short period of time. Regret is useless, and all he can do is to fight to the end.

After dawn, there was another big battle, and it was fought until dusk. Although the Ming army's courage remained unabated, the food, wood, arrows, and rolling stones in the camp were all used up. Taking advantage of the break of the battle, the Ming army was repairing the battlements and walls that collapsed in the south. Li Dingguo also led his troops to inspect, and suddenly a personal soldier ran up and shouted: "Prince! The Tartars are coming again!"

With this shout, Li Dingguo looked up and saw that the Qing army under the gate was really taking advantage of the night and swarming in, with dark people covering the sky and the earth.

Did Wu Sangui really bully me like this? Did he really think I am easy to deal with?

An uncontrollable anger rushed to Li Dingguo's head. He looked back and shouted at the personal soldier who had just shouted, "This is not the first time, the enemy soldier has not become three heads and six arms, why are you panic!"

As he said that, he shouted at the slightly nervous soldiers around him: "What are you watching? It's not a show! The soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to flood the earth! They all prepare arrows and rocks, and just wait for the Qing army to rush up and shoot and smash them hard!"

After saying that, Li Dingguo suddenly pulled out the sword. Seeing that the commander was fearless, the soldiers all felt brave and occupied the edges of the clutches. Some used arrows to aim at them, some carried stones and set up wooden beatings. They gritted their teeth, and had a bulge of muscles on their cheeks, waiting for the Qing army to approach.

The Qing army's attack was the largest number of troops since the attack. The general Hu Guozhu, who was supervising the formation was the general under Wu Sangui. The Qing army all raised their swords and guns, shouting and rushing up, hoping to swallow the Seven Star Pass.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Li Dingguo drew his sword and roared. As soon as the military order came out, the beating wood, rolling stones, gray bottles, and flying arrows poured down the pass like rain of rain. Among the Qing army, there were sorrows. Most of the front troops fell under the rain of wood and stone arrows, but before the Ming army could put the arrows on the other side, the Qing army, who had prepared the beating stones, rushed to the pass without any scruples, and set up the ladder in an instant.

In a hurry, Li Dingguo threw his cloak on his body, and stormed the enemy, and rushed to a cloud ladder without caring about the stop of his personal soldiers around him. In an instant, he overturned the ladder. As soon as he pulled his hand back, he suddenly saw that several Qing soldiers on both sides had climbed up the city wall. He couldn't help but be angry and swung his sword to meet him. Seeing that the King of Jin was in danger, the personal soldiers behind him followed closely. Before these Qing soldiers who rushed to the pass had stood firm, they were killed by the Ming army like a whirlwind, and they screamed and fell down. At this time, reinforcements came up, and the Qing army's ladders were overturned. The Qing soldiers who rushed up the city wall were outnumbered and were cut off the city wall.

The Qing army's attack lasted for more than an hour and was finally repelled, but many soldiers of the Ming army also fell in pools of blood.

Late at night, Li Dingguo was lying in a lounge chair brought by his personal soldiers. He looked at the mountains outside the pass through the moonlight. He saw countless fires outside the pass stretching for miles in front of the pass, almost nowhere to be seen. The Qing army was strong and the troops were several times that of his own. Li Dingguo frowned and knew that the Seven Star Pass could not be defended anymore.
