刘伯温为啥只封了个伯吴襄传-明末辽东总兵吴三桂之父的传奇故事
在那浩渺的历史长河中，吴襄的身影如同一颗璀璨的星辰，闪耀着坚韧与悲剧的光辉。他的故事，绕开了岁月的尘埃，如今我们再次踏上这段崎岖而又迷人的旅程。
吴襄（？—1644年），江南高邮（今江苏高邮）的人出生，但他最终以明末辽东总兵和吴三桂之父著称。在崇祯四年的大凌河之役中，他因逃亡而导致全军覆灭，被判下狱。然而，在崇祯十七年三月初，当李自成攻破大同和真定时，他被起用为提督京营。在北京城陷落后，他遭到了活捉，并在永平城西范家庄被李自成斩杀，其首级悬挂于高竿示众。这场惨剧，也让他的家族遭受了灭门之灾。
但就在此刻，一束希望从黑暗中悄然升起。当吴三桂带领清兵入关，与李自成对峙时，这位曾经的大顺军将领终于找到了复仇的机会。正是在这一片石战役中，吴三桂与阿济格、多铎联手，大败了李自成。随后，他们追击到庆都，再次粉碎了李自成的一切抵抗。
尽管如此，最终还是没有挽救过往遗憾。一片石战役之后，不仅是国家命运决定，还有无数个家庭结局紧密相连，而这些命运背后的英雄们，却只能在历史长河中留下淡淡的一笔。此刻，让我们静静地聆听他们的声音，看看他们如何在那个动荡不安时代里寻觅着属于自己的光明。
Wu Xiang, the father of Wu Sangui, was a military general in the late Ming dynasty. He was born in Jiangnan High Post (now Jiangsu High Post) and served as the Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong. In 1631, during the war against the Manchu led by Nurhaci's son Hong Taiji, Wu Xiang fled from battle and caused his army to be defeated. As a result, he was imprisoned and later released.
In 1644, when Li Zicheng captured Beijing and captured Wu Xiang alive, Li Zicheng asked him to write a letter to persuade his son to surrender. However, before Wu Xiang could do so, his son had already defeated Li Zicheng's forces at One Piece Stone Battlefield on April 22nd of that year. On April 23rd of that year, Li Zicheng executed Wu Xiang for treason in Yiping City west of Fanjia Zhuang.
After his death,WuXiangwas posthumously honored as Marquis Wenzhong by Southern Ming regime.WuXing’s wifeand their children were also honored with titles such as Lady Lingyuanand Prince Zhongguo respectively.Their story is one filled with both tragedy and heroism amidst a chaotic era,a testament to their unwavering loyaltyto their countryand familyinthe faceof adversity.
