In the fourth year of Hongwu, in order to consolidate the Ming Dynasty's rule in Liaodong, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Liaodu Guard and established Liaoyang Prefecture and county, and moved the people of the Central Plains to live in.

In the eighth year of Hongwu, after the court's negotiation, Dingliao Duwei was changed to Liaodong Dushi, with a capital in Dingliao Zuowei, with twenty-five guards and two states under its jurisdiction.

In the tenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang made changes to the establishment plan for the last time. He dismissed all prefectures and counties in the Liaodong region and left only the guard office.

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

The Later Jin army withdrew from Chenyang, and accompanied by a sudden turn, swept into the Liaoyang area and surrounded the Liao Zuo Cang City.

On the way south, Nurhaci temporarily changed his mind and did not go straight to Liaoyang. Instead, he decided to gradually erode the guards around Liaoyang.

As the capital of the Liaodong Metropolitan Office in Liaodong, Dingliao Left Crusade has always been stationed by more than 10,000 troops and horses in the headquarters led by the Liaoyang Deputy General Zou Chuxian.

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

His father Zou He followed the Liaodong general Li Chengliang and became his subordinate, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry General. He had good military achievements and served as the general of the general and was ordered to guard Qinghe Road.

In the spring of the 46th year of Wanli, the Later Jin army defeated Fushun and slaughtered heavily. The troops were approaching Qinghe. Zou He, who was in his forties, had already retired at home, personally led his servants to resist the battle and died in the whole city.

Because Zou He's resistance was too fierce, Hu Erhan, who was responsible for attacking the city at that time, ordered the city to be massacred.

When Qinghe fell and the whole family died, Zou Chuxian was in charge of his father's merits and was placed in the Left Crusade of Dingliao by the court as the Qianzong General.

Since serving as the Thousand General Secretary for five years, Zou Chuxian was finally recommended by Xiong Tingbi for his comments of "declaring discipline, conquering soldiers from all directions, and seeking a large-scale plan."

Later, Zhu Youxiao approved the memorial on one day. Zou Chuxian was promoted to Deputy General of Liaoyang in the winter of the second year of Tianqi, and led his troops to guard the Liaozuo Cangcheng.

Now Zou Chuxian has a happy family in Zuowei City.

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

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

......

Accompanied by the wind and sand in the sky, countless Later Jin troops arrived at the foot of the Left Crusade of Dingliao. The leader was Nurhaci's personal pioneer, the Three Bele Amin.

The wind and sand on this day were blowing "whirring" and it was particularly violent.

The Ming army was against the wind direction, and the soldiers patrolling the city were sometimes confused by the wind and sand, and even within ten steps they could not see clearly, let alone discovering the Jiannu army hundreds of steps away.

Recently, Zou Chuxian has not been idle either.

A few days ago, he found that an officer he trusted very much falsely reported his troops, swallowing food and pay, and sucking blood from soldiers, and was very annoyed.

Zou Chuxian originally wanted to deal with this general, but after he was still in war and was employed, he severely blamed him, so he ordered the general to be responsible for patrol matters in the south city, hoping that he would make meritorious service.

After all, this person knew that he was very brave in fighting, and it would be a pity if he was punished for such a thing.

That night, Zou Chuxian read "Sun Wu's Art of War" for a while and felt a little tired. He stretched out and called his youngest son to take the exam for what he had learned today.

According to the rules of the past, you will go to bed after passing the literacy exam.

"Anyone who governs the masses is like governing the few, and the score is the same. Fighting the masses is like fighting the few, and the form and name are the same..."

"If the three armies are bound to be enemies without defeat, it is strange. If the soldiers are added, if they throw eggs with slaughter, it is false or real..."

Zou Mingli's tender recitation echoed in the hall.

Zou Chuxian looked at him with satisfaction and saw his shadow from childhood. That's how his father taught me to read military books.

For the children of the generals, this is just a compulsory course from childhood.

At this moment, an officer ran into the yard in panic. Before the person arrived, the trembling voice arrived first:

"Not good, general, slave soldiers are siegeing the city!"

"What?"

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

"The last death sentence!"

The guilty officer was named Wang Xuan.

At this time, he saw Shangguan who was both stern and stern, and cried bitterly, remorseful, and said, "The soldiers couldn't open their eyes today, and I only realized that-"

"Stay!"

Before he could finish speaking, Zou Chuxian interrupted impatiently, held his sword tightly, and said as he walked:

"The slave army has already besieged the city, so don't find any reason in front of me!"

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

"Wang Xuan, you are also a famous brave general. If I were you, I would fight the slave soldiers to the death on the top of the city. The left guard was in trouble, and even I could not refuse to blame!"

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

"If the last general cannot defend his territory and kill the enemy, what will he see again when the people in the city and the soldiers of the entire army?"

"Don't worry, General, I will lead my troops to the city and fight against those Jianshu!"

Zou Chuxian snorted coldly, without replying. At this time, his whole body and mind were closely tied to the safety of Dingliao Zuo Cang City and the people of the whole city.

"Zou Chuxian, Khan knew you were a famous general and asked me to come and surrender. If you surrender today, you can guarantee the Zou family's complete success!"

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

"You are the only son of Zou. You have surrendered. The Ming Dynasty's lord is in a state of ignorance. He fears the enemy and avoids war. His country is corrupt and his energy is exhausted!"

"Your father is a good friend to me. If you surrender to Dajin, I will introduce you to Dahan. From then on, all fame and fortune will be in hand. Wouldn't it be better than staying in this border town where birds do not shit!"

Under the city, Li Yongfang was persuading surrender.

Speaking of Li Yongfang, no one of the Ming generals nowadays does not hate him. Fan Wencheng is the first literati slave, but Li Yongfang is the first general of the court to surrender to Jiannu.

Before him, there was no such precedent for the generals to surrender to the barbarians.

Li Yongfang and his father Zou He were friends with each other. This time he came to persuade him to surrender was actually Fan Wencheng's suggestion. It would be best to use his relatives and friends to take down the Left Acropolis without bloodshed.

Zou Chuxian didn't expect that this national scum would dare to come and persuade him to surrender. He sneered repeatedly and replied without hesitation:

"You are a person who is unfaithful and unrighteous! I am the general who ordered the deputy general of Liaoyang of the Ming Dynasty. How could he surrender to the slave!"

"Li Yongfang, in view of your love with my father in the past, I will not kill you. Go back and tell your slave chief that the pseudo-jin is already a grasshopper in the autumn and will not be able to jump for a few days!"

Li Yongfang's face turned red after being held back and could not speak anymore.

The child who used to play by his legs is now so wise that he would rather die with the city than come here to enjoy wealth and glory.

Look at yourself again...

Alas! Forget it!

Li Yongfang returned empty-handedly. As expected, Amin looked at Zou Chuxian on the top of the city and sneered: "It seems that this Ming general still understands some great principles!"

Amin consultant said, "What's his name?"

One person replied: "Three Beile, called Zou Chuxian!"

Amin nodded and ordered:

"Give the orders and immediately attack the city. After the city is broken, no one will be left behind!"

"Since Zou Chuxian wants to keep his righteousness, Dajin also wants to be beautiful in human nature, and it is only if he follows his wishes!"
