Chapter 268
Gao Yihuan thought for a while, but he couldn't tell who was better and who was worse.

The situation in the world is unpredictable, and it is hard to say what will happen in the future, but right now, it is the consensus between him and Chen Mingxia to restrain the Donglu from attacking Guanzhong.

Take Jingzhou first, enter Sichuan and Shu, or enter Guanzhong first. This can be decided later. Right now, it is still necessary to resist Duoduo's South Army.

Gao Yihuan stood up, "Mr.'s teachings, I will remember them in my heart. I also invite you to serve as the secretary of the shogunate. I still need to listen to your teachings."

Chen Mingxia smiled and cupped his hands, "Dare not to follow orders!"

Gao Yihuan had many civil servants under him, but many of them still had feelings for the Ming Dynasty in their hearts, which made Gao Yihuan very uncomfortable.

The appearance of this Chen Mingxia undoubtedly changed the status quo, giving him another group of people to use.

After finishing speaking, Chen Mingxia said again: "At the beginning of Li Zicheng's entry into the capital, he didn't trust the high officials in Beijing. The general wrote several letters, inviting Yang Tingjian, Song Zhisheng and others to come and serve the general."

Yang Tingjian is the number one scholar and Song Zhisheng is a role model. Gao Yi's heart is moved, I want to gather in Sanyuan!

Gao Yihuan also hoped that Chen Mingxia could recruit talents for him through his relationship with Jinshi on the same list, so he said with a smile, "If there is a recommendation from my husband, I will definitely use it."

It was night, and the two talked for a long time before Gao Yihuan asked someone to take Chen Mingxia to rest.

Early the next morning, Gao Yicheng got up from the house, ready to explain to Lu Yifang how to deal with the captives, and after setting up officials in Yancheng, Xuzhou, and Xiangcheng, he would march northward to Rongze, which is near the ancient Guandu. , Join forces with the Shun army deployed along the river.

By the end of July, the news about the North has become very clear.

The Qing army along the way, led by Shi Tingzhu and Ye Chen, was attacking Taiyuan, Wu Sangui and Azige were attacking Datong, preparing to enter Guanzhong from northern Shaanxi, and Duoduo led an army into Henan to attack Tongguan.

After Li Zicheng withdrew from Beijing, he brought Liu Zongmin and others back to Guanzhong, but did not leave enough troops to guard Shanxi, which can be said to be a miscalculation.

If there were enough Shunjun troops in Shanxi, the Qing army would never dare to outflank Guanzhong from the north and the south, and Li Zicheng would have enough time to prepare for the battle.

In the final analysis, it was because the Dashun court didn't know enough about the Manchus, and didn't regard the Manchus as their opponents for the world, and hadn't turned the corner strategically.

Because of the mistakes in the grand strategy, the Shun army made frequent mistakes, but fortunately, the unjust killing of Li Yan should never happen again.

In history, after Li Zi returned to Guanzhong in success or failure, Li Yan heard that there were rebellions in various parts of Henan, so he took the initiative to invite Ying, and was willing to lead [-] elite soldiers to Zhongzhou to frighten the localities, so that the counties and counties did not dare to act rashly. Can be extinguished quickly.

In this way, Dashun still has a great advantage in terms of its strategic location in Central Henan, but Li Zicheng suspected that Li Yan had a different intention, and Niu Jinxing added fuel to the flames, saying that Li Yan saw Dashun's failure and wanted to leave Dashun and become king in Henan , so Li Zicheng beheaded Li Yan and his younger brother Li Nian together.

Li Zicheng was born in poverty, and the class attributes of the Dashun Army made him distrust Li Yan, a queen of this famous family.

At first, he may have been impressed by Li Yan's talent, but as Li Yan's prestige increased, Li Zicheng became afraid.

In history, when Li Yan was killed, the hearts of the powerful men in Henan were scattered and they launched rebellions one after another. Duoduo took the opportunity to enter Henan, drove directly to Tongguan, and joined forces with Azig to attack Li Zicheng from north to south, and finally broke into Guanzhong, making Li Zicheng a bereaved dog.

At the beginning of this year, Li Yan was sent back to Henan by Gao Yihuan. As long as he doesn't go back to Guanzhong by himself, history probably won't repeat itself.

Now that Li Yan is in Luoyang, Gao Yihuan has suppressed the rebellion, and the situation in Henan is generally stable. It is not so easy for Duoduo's Qing army to reach Tongguan.

Gao Yihuan was fully dressed and came out of the room, ready to wash his face in the yard.

At this time, Gao Chengwei hurried into the yard and went straight to Gao Yihuan's room. When he saw that Gao Yihuan was not in the room and was washing his face by the well, he walked straight over again.

"Commander, Luoyang urgent letter, the Tartars rode across the river at the Sun's house east of Rongze, and then turned around to the back of Rongze, defeating Commander Bai. Now the Tartar soldiers and horses are approaching Hulao Pass, Li Jiedu let the commander Quickly go north to support."

Just now Gao Yihuan thought that the current situation in Henan is not bad, so he was hit in the head and his heart trembled, "Where are the Tartars crossing the river?"

Gao Cheng said anxiously: "The people of Li Jiedu said so. Marshal Bai has 3 people, only 1 people, and they retreated to the tiger prison. The loss of more than [-]% of the men and horses, I am afraid it will be difficult to stick to the tiger prison. Li Jiedu Let the commander-in-chief go north, station in Zhengzhou, threaten the Tartars from the flanks, and prevent the Tartars from attacking the pass with all their strength."

Damn it, Gao Yihuan was very annoyed when he heard this.

Tartars on the north bank of the Yellow River and on the south bank are completely different concepts.

According to the information obtained by Gao Yihuan, Duoduo's South Route Army has at least [-] people, and most of them are real Tartars.

Gao Yihuan threw the towel away, "Hurry up, order the army to pack up and set off for Zhengzhou in an hour!"

Outside Yancheng, a drizzle came unexpectedly. The fields and ditches on both sides of the official road were filled with rainwater, and the dense forests and mountains in the distance were hazy.

On the official road leading to Zhengzhou, teams of soldiers, wearing bamboo hats and shoes hanging around their necks, stepped on the mud barefoot and marched northward.

Soldiers and cavalry walked on both sides of the official road, and on the ridges on both sides, there were also groups of troops heading north.

In the middle of the road, there are cannon carts covered with tarpaulins, carts loaded with straw and hay, and baggage carts full of grain. Driven by mules, horses and peasants, their axles creaked and creaked towards the north. Huge momentum.

On a small hill next to the official road, nearly a hundred cavalrymen wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats and riding strong horses are looking at the army heading north.

Gao Yihuan held the reins tightly with one hand, looked at the people and horses on the official road, feeling anxious in his heart, Duoduo was invading the tiger prison, if Baiwang was defeated again, Luoyang might not be safe.In this way, there was no obstacle for the Qing army to attack Tongguan.

Gao Yihuan stared at the army for a while. He had to rush to Zhengzhou as soon as possible to contain Duoduo from the flanks. Then he said to Lu Yifang who was seeing him off: "The Tartar soldiers crossed the Yellow River, and the east of Henan is a flat river. The Qing army has no supplies. Duoduo If you stand firm and follow, you will inevitably hunt food everywhere. Kaifeng has long been deserted, and the small horse army of the Tatar soldiers hunting grain is very likely to come south. If we can't hold the land of Xuzhou, we don't need to set up officials and order the people as soon as possible. Go south, fortify the walls and clear the country, retreat to defend Yancheng, keep Runing, and temporarily avoid the sharp edge of the Tartars."
