Chapter 343

Li Yan was able to work for him, which made Gao Yihuan very happy.

Gao Yihuan took advantage of the Nanjing Xingshun case to attract many Ming Dynasty officials to vote, but many Ming Dynasty officials also made him a little worried.

With Li Yan joining, there can be a balance among civil servants so that he will not be deceived by the people below.

Gao Yihuan excitedly took Li Yan's hand and talked for a long time, expressing that he wanted to have a knee-to-neck talk with Li Yan and sleep on his feet before letting go.

After Li Yan's matter was resolved, Gao Yihuan looked at Bai Wang again, and said sincerely, "General Bai, how about staying with me?"

Hearing this, Bai Wang felt embarrassed and hesitant.

Bai Wang is not as forthright as Li Yan. Li Yan is an administrative civil servant and has no threat to Gao Yihuan, but he is different. He is the leader of the army and is at the same level as Gao Yihuan. He used to be Gao Yihuan's boss. Wang Deren , Zhao Mingchong, are also his old department.

Let him rely on Gao Yihuan, the position cannot be lower than Wang Deren, but if the position is too high, Gao Yihuan is obviously not at ease, there must be those subordinates, whether to listen to his old boss, or someone Gao's questions.

Bai Wang had doubts, he was worried that if he joined Gao Yihuan, he would be suppressed and marginalized, but he was still a little moved when he saw Gao Yihuan extended an olive branch to him.

Gao Yihuan rescued him twice, and now he can accept him again, which shows that he is a hero with an open mind, maybe he is worrying too much.

Faced with this situation, killing the leader and annexing the tribe is the correct posture. If Li Zicheng, he would definitely do this.

It really took a lot of courage for Gao Yihuan to keep him to do things, and it made Bai Wang a little ashamed.

Yi Huan rescued me twice, he was Henan Jiedu, Wang Deren was naturally under his control, as for Zhao Mingchong, I had no time to take care of it, in the end Yi Huan begged to save this team.

For a while, Bai Wang felt that he was treating a gentleman with the heart of a villain. In addition, when he broke through from Luoyang, he had nothing but [-] mouths. If he didn't rely on Gao Yihuan, he would even have problems eating.

Bai Wang pondered for a moment, lowered his head, cupped his fists and said: "I am willing to listen to Wei Hou's arrangement!"

"Haha~" Gao Yihuan laughed heartily, and pulled Bai Wang, "It's like an extra arm for Gao to get the help of General Bai. General Bai will first go to the city to rest for a few days to wash away the dust. I happen to have something to ask Bai Wang The general will do it!"

Now that the decision has been made, Bai Wang also entered the role, clasped his fists and asked, "If it's urgent, Wei Hou can tell you!"

"No hurry, no hurry!" Gao Yihuan waved his hands with a sneer, and wrote lightly: "I just want General Bai to go to Guanzhong, inform Guanzhong that Luoyang has fallen, and make Guanzhong prepare to defend against the enemy!"

After hearing this, Bai Wang was stunned.

Liu Bei won the land of Shu and wanted to send Liu Zhang to Jingzhou.

Gao Yihuan was a little entangled in how to place Bai Wang. He must not be given a high position, so he had to be dismissed first. Before his influence was eliminated, it was impossible to reuse him.

After Xuanhu and Dragonrider Battalion return, the whole battle in Luoyang can be said to be over.

The cause of this battle was the siege of Luoyang by the Qing army. Although the most intense battle was not fought around Luoyang, the center of the battle was still Luoyang, so the end of the battle in Luoyang marked the end of the war.

The Wei army performed very well in this battle, but the Qing army finally occupied the capital of Henan Province and captured the capital of the world.

Gao Yihuan's local victories did not stop the Qing army's southward expansion. The Qing army still maintained an aggressive posture, but it was an indisputable fact that the Qing army's front was slightly weaker.

At this time, the situation in Henan, Gao Yihuan shrank back to the southern part of Yuzhou, and the Qing army completed the occupation of eastern and northern Henan.

Ruzhou in the middle of Yuzhou was divided equally between the Wei army and the Qing army, but both sides agreed not to station heavy troops here, but to use it as a buffer area.

After Duoduo returned to Luoyang, he counted the men and horses. The army lost more than 300 people, including more than [-] people in the Han Army Banner, and [-] people in the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners. It can be said that the loss was heavy.

If you count the 1 people of Liu Zhongbu, the loss will be even greater.

Such a big loss has already hurt the vitality of the Qing army on the South Road. Coupled with the delay in the supply of food and grass from the Qing court, Duoduo has no ability to resume the war in a short time.

After Duoduo returned to Luoyang, the army entered a state of rest.

At this time, Gao Yihuan returned to Runing after staying in Xiangcheng for a few days, and received a letter from Liu Heizi.

Gao Yihuan immediately learned that the reason for Duoduo's quick withdrawal was that besides his calculations, there was also a channel for the Qing army to transport grain from the south, which was cut off by Liu Heizi and Ming general Gao Jie.

This was somewhat beyond Gao Yihuan's expectations. Although Gao Yihuan wrote to Liu Heizi to rob grain, Liu Heizi could at most control the west bank of the canal, and Shanxi merchants could use land instead of the area where Liu Heizi was active. Continue to transport food to the north.

Gao Yihuan believed that Liu Heizi's interception would increase the Qing army's cost of obtaining grain and grass to a certain extent, but he did not expect that it would basically block the Shanxi merchants from transporting grain northward.

After Gao Yihuan read the letter, he learned that on the east bank of the canal, Gao Jie, a subordinate of the Ming Dynasty governor Gao Mingheng, was also eyeing the grain and grass transported northward by Shanxi merchants, and pretended to be a bandit to rob along the river.

This made Gao Yihuan slap his head. He didn't expect that there are so many talents in the world.

For a while, Gao Yihuan felt that he had miscalculated, and he should have told Liu Heizi to pretend to be the Ming army to rob, instead of acting low-key.

Now Liu Heizi and Gao Jie are on the west side of the canal and the other is on the east side of the canal. After a few fights, the two reached a tacit understanding and almost became brothers.

The two of them were active in Shandong, which basically blocked the road for Shanxi merchants to transport grain. If Shanxi merchants wanted to transport grain, they had to go by sea, but sea transportation was not something that could be done in a month or two.

The end of June is the time for winter wheat to mature. Coupled with expropriation and transportation, Duoduo will have to obtain a large amount of grain and grass at least in July and August.

Gao Yihuan's battle with Duoduo lasted for more than four months, and the various reserves in southern Henan were basically exhausted.

The Qing army was restricted by food and grass, and could not fight again in a short period of time, which undoubtedly gave Gao Yihuan a reassurance.

After returning to Runing, the statistics of the entire battle by each battalion were also sent to Gao Yihuan's desk. Excluding the lost miners, after this battle, the number of casualties of the Wei army was as high as more than [-].

Although the casualties mainly came from the new attached battalion that blocked Duduo, it was already a major loss for the small Wei army.

Fortunately, the Qing army lost even more. Not only did Gao Yihuan seize four or five thousand horses, but they also captured more than 4000 green battalion soldiers. Gao Yihuan was more pleased that this battle was not too bad.

At this time, after cleaning up the casualties and counting the results of the battle, the mopping-up work of the entire war was basically over, but Gao Yihuan did not relax because of this, because another news about the lack of food reserves of the Wei army and could only persist until the beginning of June was reported come up.
