Chapter 172 Returning to Master Runing
At the beginning of July, Guide Mansion, on the west bank of the Yellow River.

More than 3000 high-ranking soldiers are packing their bags.

Soldiers only need to roll up their blankets and carry them on their backs, and then bring their own weapons, water bottles and other supplies, and then they can lead the horses out of the camp to assemble.

Materials such as tents and rations are handed over to the logistics team for collection.

In the camp on the west bank of the river, tents like white bags collapsed one after another, and the soldiers of the logistics team shuttled among them, loading the collected tents, food and cauldrons into mule carts.

At this time, the soldiers who were out of the camp formed a small team outside, then according to the bureau as a unit, they got on their horses and marched westward.

Three thousand cavalry marched mightily on the road, and the soldiers rode on horses, their bodies rising and falling with the horses, Liu Heizi was fascinated and salivated.

At this time, Liu Heizi led a group of generals, and Ji Guofeng, who had just joined him, stood by the road, laughed and cupped his fists, and said to Gao Yihuan and his party, "Brother Gao, have a good journey. If there is such a thing in the future, remember Call your Brother Liu."

"Call your mother to criticize you!" Gao Yihuan rolled onto the black horse, glanced at Ji Guofeng, couldn't help cursing inwardly, then clasped his fists to Liu Heizi and said, "Brother Liu, there will be a date later."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan looked at Ji Guofeng, "County Ji, come to Runing to sit down if you have time, and Gao will definitely entertain you."

Ji Guofeng cupped his hands, Liu Heizi stood in front of him, and interjected: "Brother Gao, it's getting late, you want to go back to Runing, Brother Liu won't keep you."

As Gao Yihuan expected, after Ji Guofeng arrived in Xuzhou, he was disappointed with Ma Shiying and others at first, and then asked the Xuzhou government to send food to the people who went to Xuzhou with him, but was rejected by the Xuzhou prefect, so he brought the people here in a rage. Guide.

Within the system, there are rules of the system.

It is unlikely that the magistrate of Xuzhou would give food to the people of Chengwu County. Gao Yihuan guessed that Ji Guofeng would come back, but he didn't expect that Liu Heizi moved quickly and got ahead of him.

Ji Guofeng led thousands of refugees. As soon as he entered Yucheng County, Liu Heizi got the news, ran to greet them quietly, and resettled the refugees in Yongcheng. Ji Guofeng naturally became his staff.

After all, Gao Yihuan was in Liu Heizi's territory, so he was not as well-informed as Liu Heizi. When Liu Heizi brought Ji Guofeng to see him with some complacency, the matter was already settled, and Gao Yihuan could only acquiesce in the fact that he was cut off by Liu Heizi.

Gao Yihuan listened to Liu Heizi's words, gave him a cold face, pulled out his horse, and left in the dust. In an instant, he followed the ups and downs of the galloping troops, and returned west with the army.

"Brother Gao, let's go!" Liu Heizi waved his hands behind, watching Gao Yihuan ride away on horseback, but Gao Yihuan didn't turn his head back, so he just waved his horsewhip and galloped away chasing the sunset.

More than half a month ago, Boluo on the east bank of the Yellow River was trying to make a detour to cross the river after a series of failed forced crossings, but news came that Teng County had fallen, and the Xuzhou Ming Army was driving Tong Tulai northward.

Boluo's light soldiers rushed forward, and all the food and grass were left in Teng County, but once Teng County was lost, Boluo lost all the food and grass.

This shocked Boluo, and at the same time he had no other choice but to retreat north to Linqing.

Firstly, he needed to solve the problem of eating, and secondly, his original responsibility was to guard against the Ming army in Xuzhou. Now that he was unable to defend against it, he had to notify Abate to prevent the main force of the Qing army from being suddenly attacked by the Ming army.

As soon as Boluo left, Gao Yihuan could withdraw his troops, but there was no definite news. Gao Yihuan was worried that Boluo had not really left, and the army would still stay in Guide.

After Boluo rushed to Linqing, Abatai learned that the Ming army in Xuzhou was going north, but Linqing could not attack for a long time, so the Qing army fell into a dilemma.

Withdrew, Abatai was not reconciled, and if he did not withdraw, the situation began to be unfavorable to the Qing army again.

At this time, as the Ming army moved northward, it was impossible to continue the offensive, so Abatai tried to surrender Linqing, but was flatly rejected by Gao Mingheng.

At this time, the scouts reported that the Xuzhou Ming army was approaching Linqing, and the Shandong Ming army in Dongchang Prefecture was also led out of the city under the leadership of Liu Zeqing, so Abate had no choice but to evacuate overnight.

This withdrawal boosted Ma Shiying's arrogance even more. The Xuzhou government army chased after the Qing army like chicken blood, and Abatai lost most of the few captured.

These seizures fell into the hands of the Ming army, which further stimulated the official army.

Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and other generals were extremely brave and chased all the way from Shandong to Cangzhou, making Abatai almost return empty-handed.

At this time, Abatai was eager to get out of the customs, and he broke the pot and smashed it, so he just endured it. He didn't want the Ming army to eat the guts of the leopard.

Abatai couldn't bear it anymore, like a clogged mad dog, he caught and bit whomever he caught.

After all, the strength of the Eight Banners was there, and it really became ruthless. The Ming army who blocked it was immediately beaten to the ground.

The Qing army defeated Bai Guangen, the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty who blocked the way, and chased and intercepted the various Ming armies, only to wake up suddenly. After the blood was gone, they were afraid of the ferocity of the Eight Banners, and dared not pursue again.

Furthermore, most of Abate's captures had already been lost, and the Ming army also knew that he was eager to leave the customs. Seeing that there was no profit to be made, all the ministries were unwilling to fight again.

Seeing this, Zhou Yanru stationed troops in Tongzhou, waiting for the Qing army to leave the customs by itself, while he reported victory to Emperor Chongzhen every day, either recovering a county today, or chasing slaves for another twenty or thirty miles, to make Chongzhen Longyan happy.

However, none of the Ming armies actually went to battle, and they didn't dare to intercept the mad dog Abate. They just followed behind and watched Abate leave the customs.

Chongzhen was kept in the dark by Zhou Yanru's beating report, thinking that he had really hurt Abate, and rewarded Zhou Yanru wantonly.

However, only a few days later, Zhou Yanru was reported by Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei, and Emperor Chongzhen was very happy when he learned that he had been deceived by Zhou Yanru. In a rage, he took Zhou Yanru into prison. execute it.

After Gao Yihuan received the exact news that the Qing army had left the customs, he decided to return to Runing, preparing to seek Xiangyang.

What he didn't know was that because of Zhou Yanru's incident, Emperor Chongzhen had doubts about Ma Shiying's beating and beheading of Bir Tahar and Li Sutai, and asked Jin Yiwei to investigate.

Jinyiwei checked and found that Bir Tahar and Li Sutai were indeed killed, but according to a Jinyiwei Xiaoqi surnamed Fang, they did not die at the hands of the Ming army, but were killed by one of the thieves named Gao Yihuan. Killed across borders.

This Gao Yihuan, Emperor Chongzhen had some reflections. After asking, he remembered that it was the bandits who captured Runing and captured the pro-vassals.

However, although the emperor was angry and suspicious, when the news of Li Zicheng proclaiming himself emperor in Xi'an came to Beijing, Chongzhen not only did not issue an order to ask Ma Shiying, Huang Degong and others about Gao Yihuan, but instead rewarded several military leaders.

Of course, Gao Yihuan, who returned to Runing on horseback, didn't know about these things, and he didn't expect that he would actually enter Chongzhen's field of vision.

(Thanks to Abuner for the 10000 reward, and thanks for the support of the boss.)
