Wujiang River, with its rapid water, towering peaks and dense cliffs, is difficult for monkeys to climb. It is famous all over the world for its rapid flow, numerous beaches and narrow valleys. It has been known as "natural danger" since ancient times.
At this time, on the south bank of Wujiang River, four generals were inspecting the Wujiang defense line.
The leader was none other than Li Mingzhong, the Dingxi Bo of the Ming Dynasty. On Zhu Hengjia's orders, he led Qingyuan Wei's general Wei Wanzhong and Anlongcen's general Huang Ma and led 30,000 troops to aid Guizhou to prevent the Western Army from going south.
The other person was Shi Chen Ruizheng, the commander of the Guizhou capital in the Ming Dynasty. He recruited 20,000 Guizhou Guard troops to assist Li Mingzhong in defending Wujiang.
Li Mingzhong was very satisfied when he saw the steep terrain of Wujiang River. But after all, he was a veteran on the battlefield and did not dare to be careless. He still asked about the situation seriously.
"General Chen, you have been in Guizhou for many years and are familiar with the terrain. Where do you think the Daxi thieves will cross the river?"
Chen Ruizheng thought for a while: "There are two ferries on the Wujiang River here, one is the Wujiang Ferry on the opposite side; the other is the Qianshan Ferry downstream. The general will judge that the Daxi thieves will never take the Qishan Ferry and must cross the Wujiang River.
Jiang."
"Oh, why?"
"The commander-in-chief did not know that when crossing the Yangtze River from Guangshan to attack Guiyang, they had to pass through Caotang Yaosi, Bainisi, Huangping Yaosi, and dozens of large and small chieftains. When they passed through the territory of these chieftains,
There is also the Qingshui River blocking the road. It is simply more difficult than climbing to the sky. Therefore, the general judged that the Western thieves must cross the Wujiang River."
Li Mingzhong thought for a while: "Will the Western Bandits cross the river from Luguangdu and Huangshadu on the Luguang River in the upper reaches of Wujiang River?"
Chen Ruizheng laughed loudly: "The commander is not from Guizhou and does not know the situation in Guizhou. Lu Guanghe is the territory of Guizhou's comfort envoy An Kun, and the Shui Xi'an clan has a hundred thousand soldiers. If the Western thieves want to cross the river from An Kun's territory, An Kun will definitely do it.
A few of their teeth were broken. Moreover, even if they crossed the Lu Guang River, Lu Guangyi still had the seven thousand soldiers and horses of Pi Xiong, the Marquis of Dingfan in the Ming Dynasty. They were as stable as a rock."
Li Mingzhong nodded. He had heard of the name of the Shuixi An clan. He was a great chieftain with the same name as the Cen clan of Sicheng. He had dominated Shuixi for six hundred years and had 100,000 armor.
However, Li Mingzhong was a veteran on the battlefield after all. As a precaution, he ordered Wei Wanzhong to lead 10,000 Qingyuan Wei soldiers to defend Qingshan Division and Xifeng Station opposite Huangshadu; he ordered Huang Ma to lead 5 Anlong Cen soldiers.
Qian, guard the Dizhai Division near Lu Guangyi; he and Chen Ruizheng set up defenses along the Wujiang River Crossing.
"General Chen, please tell me more about the situation at Wujiang Crossing."
Chen Ruizheng became more energetic: "Commander, Wujiang crossing has been dangerous since ancient times. There are seven steep canyons near Wujiang Pass, including Tiger Leaping Gorge and Yingchou Gorge. The green peaks are towering, making it difficult for birds to cross. If the western thieves cross the river here, they will not be able to cross.
It will be certain that its entire army will be annihilated."
Li Mingzhong looked at the terrain of Wujiang River again, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He suddenly became interested and chanted loudly: "The soldiers scattered and their bows were broken, and the tiger's power was defeated, and he single-handedly broke through the siege. The hero went away and was ashamed, but he couldn't return to the east of the river." (Here
Li Mingzhong made a mistake. The Wujiang River where Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, committed suicide is in today's Wujiangpu in the northeast of He County, Anhui Province, not the Wujiang River in Guizhou).
After reciting the poem, Li Mingzhong suddenly felt heroic: If the Western thieves surrender obediently, otherwise they will be buried in Wujiang River!

Taoyuan Cave, Military and Civilian Mansion, Zunyi, Sichuan (During the Ming Dynasty, Zunyi belonged to Sichuan), Daxi Army Old Camp.
Sun Kewang, king of Pingdong in Daxi Kingdom, Li Dingguo, king of Anxi, Liu Wenxiu, king of Funan, and Ai Nengqi, king of Dingbei, are receiving Zhu Hengjia’s envoys, and Shaanxi Taoist Censor Liancheng Bi.
Sun Kewang asked Liancheng Bi: "What title will King Jingjiang give us?"
Liancheng Bi said: "The four generals are all granted the title of marquis."
Sun Kewang was furious: "My four brothers were kings and nobles in the Daxi Kingdom. Why couldn't they even be granted the title of duke after returning to the Ming Dynasty?"
Lian Chengbi was not afraid at all: "Li Chuang's remaining troops, Li Guo and others, are also marquises. Since ancient times, fame has been achieved immediately. If a general wants to be granted the title of Duke, he should do so for the Ming Dynasty."
After Sun Kewang dismissed Liancheng Bi, the four kings discussed it.
"Brother, the Qing army is chasing us from behind. My father was killed by an arrow. We and the Qing army have sworn hatred. We are facing a powerful enemy and we can no longer fight with the Ming army." Li Dingguo advocated the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi also agree.
Seeing that the three brothers all wanted to surrender, Sun Kewang frowned.
This man was very scheming and very capable. The original total strength of the Daxi Kingdom was 120 battalions: Zhang Xianzhong led the 22nd battalion; Ai Nengqi led the 20th battalion; Sun Kewang led the 19th battalion; Li Dingguo led the 16th battalion; and Liu Wenxiu He led the fifteenth battalion; Wang Shangli, Wang Dingguo, Feng Shuangli, Ma Yuanli, and Zhang Hualong commanded the twenty-eighth battalion. Sun Kewang's strength ranked only third.
But he first took over Zhang Xianzhong's imperial camp in the name of Daxi Kingdom's crown prince, and then successfully won over Wang Shangli and Feng Shuangli. Now he controls half of Daxi Kingdom's troops.
He didn't want to bring down the Ming Dynasty, but wanted to separate himself and become the king.
However, the other three kings want to surrender, and direct refusal may cause the Daxi Army to split.
Sun Kewang thought for a while: "I also want to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but the Jingjiang Supervisor is too contemptuous and only gives us a marquis. According to my wishes, Guizhou will be conquered first, and then surrendered."
Sun Kewang had no choice but to agree.

The first day is like dawn clouds, and the rain marks are fresh on the sand across the river.
The stream is deep and has several bends in the Yunzang Gorge. The trees are thousands of years old and are covered with snow.
The white bird went back to the post road and met people in the green cliff.
I have passed through this place after traveling all over the world, and I have no time to work on the river to envy Jiuhua.
This poem is about the scenery of Lu Guang River in the upper reaches of Wujiang River. The river bed of Lu Guang River is a canyon, with "mountains on both sides and little space". The river surface is extremely narrow. How narrow is it? There is a section of the downstream called Maotiao River, and the locals call the tiger Cats, which means tigers, can jump over it, which shows how narrow it is.
Luguangyi, built on the bank of Luguang River, is one of the nine stations from Guizhou to Sichuan. It has beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery.
During the Ming Dynasty, when Dingfanhou, Guizhou deputy general Pi Xiong was holding a memorial and Zhu Hengjia's approval, he was sighing.
This memorial was written by Wu Qilei, a member of Zhongshushe, informing Pi Xiong of colluding with the King of Han and intending to plot rebellion.
During the peasant army uprising, King Zhu Haoli of Han lost his country and fled to Guiyang. At that time, Pi Xiong was stationed in Guiyang and was very kind to King Han. King Han fell in love with Pi Xiong's daughter and married her as his concubine.
The problem is that the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty stipulates that the princess marries from the private sector through the draft of girls, and is not allowed to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official. Pi Xiong is a Dingfanhou and a second-rank high-ranking official, which violates the rules.
Scholars of the Ming Dynasty like to think the most. Why did King Han marry Pi Xiong’s daughter? Was it because he was interested in the soldiers in Pi Xiong’s hands? Why did Pi Xiong marry his daughter to King Han? Did he want to support King Han to proclaim himself emperor?
Rumors are spreading.
Wu Qilei reported to Zhu Hengjia secretly. Zhu Hengjia didn’t believe it: If Pi Xiong wanted to support King Han as emperor, why didn’t he support him when Emperor Hongguang died? He had to wait until now?
Since you don’t believe it, just give Pixiong a big favor.
Zhu Hengjia showed this memorial to Pi Xiong and approved it with two words: trust.
Seeing "Trust" written by Zhu Hengjia, the sixty-five-year-old Pi Xiong was moved to tears: The country that oversees the country knows me!
