Chapter 606
Although the consecutive victories made Gao Yihuan a little complacent and a little bit flustered, he still had a very clear understanding of the overall strategy of the Wei army. He knew that he still had no strength to defeat the main force of the Qing army. .

More than [-] people in Doduo were concentrated in southern Henan, and the Qing army was concentrated. Gao Yihuan really didn't dare to face it head-on.

In recent years, when he fought against the Qing army, he basically fought against the Qing army, and each time he used more attacks and less, and used at least twice as many troops to deal with the Qing army.

Gao Yihuan fought against the Qing army, and there is no example of winning more with less.

Now if he is asked to fight a decisive battle with the 10,000+ Qing army, whose strength is twice his, Gao Yihuan will not do it.

Therefore, when Gao Yihuan faced the main force of the Qing army, he was prepared to adopt a defensive strategy, so that the Qing army could understand that he could not eat him, and took the initiative to retreat.

But blindly defending in Henan is not Gao Yihuan's style, so he suddenly remembered the black brother who had been abandoned by him.

If Liu Shun and even Gao Jie from Xuzhou were pulled out and allowed to operate in Shandong, eastern Henan, and northern South Zhili, the Qing army in southern Henan would definitely be distracted.

At that time, seeing that the Manchu Qing could not conquer southern Henan, and there were problems in the occupied areas, they would definitely re-examine Gao Yihuan's conditions.

Gao Yihuan fought hard on the frontal battlefield, and Liu Heizi attacked the Qing army on the enemy's rear battlefield, which would surely defeat Dorgon's ambition to annex the world and make him accept the reality of the world as a triumvirate.

If Gao Yihuan wants to implement this strategy, Liu Heizi, whom he has forgotten, has value, and is worthy of Gao Yihuan's support.

Now Gao Yihuan reiterated that the strategic goal of the Wei army was to force the Qing army to retreat and promote peace through war, and he explained his vision in detail.

The generals have also calmed down now, and if they really want to open up their posture and fight against more than 20 Qing troops, the generals of the Wei army have no idea.

Therefore, everyone agreed with Gao Yihuan's decision, not only because he was the king of Wei, everyone should listen to what he said, but also because what he said was indeed reasonable.

The main field battle between the Wei army and the Qing army did not have much chance of winning, but the more than [-] Wei troops defending southern Henan were very confident in blocking the Qing army.

At this time, if there is something famous behind the Qing army, the probability of the Wei army defending southern Henan will be greater.

That being the case, Wei Jun naturally had to choose a more conservative strategy with a high chance of winning.

Seeing that no one objected at this time, Gao Yihuan immediately ordered, "Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yicheng, and Wang Yingzhen, the three of you will lead three thousand soldiers and horses, and put on Qing army uniforms. Then go directly to Mengjin, go down the Yellow River, and touch the Shangqiu rescued Liu Shun."

Yuan Zongdi was born in the Shun Army and had a mobile combat operation. Gao Yicheng was Gao Yihuan's old brother, and he went to contact Liu Heizi on his behalf. He understands it very well, and can solve many troubles on the road, so that they can easily reach Shangqiu.

After Kaifeng Mansion was flooded by Li Zicheng, it is still an uninhabited area. It should not be a big problem for them to walk behind the Qing army.

"Your servants take orders!" The three of them immediately came out and clasped their fists after hearing the words.

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, seeing Li Dingguo nodded unconsciously, as if to approve of his arrangement, Gao Yihuan smiled at him immediately, meaning what, think about going with the lonely king.

After the discussion was completed, Gao Yihuan left Yuan Zong as the third person and explained some things. In the early morning of the next day, the Wei army continued to march eastward, and at noon the army arrived at the city of Luoyang.

Luoyang is not only the capital of Henan Province and the center, but also the capital of the world in the traditional sense, which is of great political significance.

All over the world, Beijing, Nanjing, Luoyang, Xi'an, occupying any place, are eligible to be king, and make people feel less obtrusive, and feel that they have the strength to be king, but other cities, even cities like Wuchang and Chengdu , also makes people feel unreliable.

This is the great political significance of Luoyang as the central capital, but Luoyang City at this time does not seem to welcome Gao Yihuan, nor does it welcome the arrival of Wei Jun.

In the western suburbs of Luoyang, in the vast wilderness, there are many soldiers of the Wei army. Gao Yihuan rode a horse and stood under the banner of Dazhu. Looking at the towering city wall in the distance, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He picked up the binoculars and looked at the top of the city. He saw Qing troops standing beside every wall of the city.

"Your Majesty, Geng Zhongming is ready!" Xu Heihu's eyes were red, he chased for a day and a night, although he rested for a night, he obviously hadn't recovered yet.

Gao Yihuan put down the binoculars, took another look at the city, and said to the people around him: "Let the brothers camp and rest, and send people to surround Luoyang."

As Gao Yihuan said, he looked at Chen Mingxia, "Mr. Please write a letter for this king to appease Geng Zhongming, and limit him to surrender within three days!"

Chen Mingxia accepted the order with a smile, and Gao Yihuan immediately waved his hand, "Let's go to the camp!"

The Wei army began to set up camp outside the city, and Geng Zhongming and others on the top of the city breathed a sigh of relief, and went down to the palace to return to the palace.

In the palace, as soon as Geng Zhongming ate something, several generals rushed over, the first general took out a letter from his arms, and presented it to him: "Your Majesty, the letter Gao Yihuan sent into the city."

A layer of frost formed on Geng Zhongming's face, he read the letter held up by the general for a long time, finally took the letter over and opened it to read.

The content of the letter is very simple, to persuade him to surrender in three days, to keep his father and son safe, if not, the whole family will be slaughtered after the city is broken, let him take Kong Youde as a warning.

Geng Zhongming's face was uncertain. Judging from the content of the letter, Geng Jimao did not die, but fell into the hands of Gao Yihuan, which made him relieved, but Gao Yihuan was obviously wrong when he wanted to use Geng Jimao to threaten him. .

"Gao Yihuan wants to recruit this king, but there is no way!" Suddenly, Geng Zhongming tore the letter into pieces in front of many generals.

Although Geng Zhongming is the Huaishun King of the Qing Dynasty, there are still secret agents of the Qing court around him who are responsible for monitoring his actions, so he made this move.

Of course, this was also his original intention. Although he felt sorry for Geng Jimao, King Huaishun of the Qing Dynasty did a good job. He still has a big family on his side, but it is impossible for him to be blackmailed by Gao Yihuan because of Geng Jimao.

Geng Zhongming glanced at everyone, "Not only will this king not surrender, but he will also stick to Luoyang, and wait for reinforcements to come to rescue him. Gao Yihuan will be defeated by internal and external cooperation."

At the moment Geng Zhongming dismissed the generals, but he went into the study, and his heart began to suffer.

That night, in the Wei army camp outside Luoyang City, [-] Wei army elites lined up.

These 3000 people are a group of elite troops temporarily formed by Gao Yihuan, including old soldiers from the Shun lineage, elites from the Xuanfeng Battalion, and secret agents from Xuanyiwei, led by Yuan Zongdi and Gao Yicheng, to rescue Shangqiu City.

At this time, Gao Yihuan said a few words to Yuan Zongdi, took another bowl of wine, handed it to Gao Yicheng, and solemnly said: "Yicheng, drink this bowl of wine, and the journey will be smooth!"

Gao Yicheng finished drinking with his head up, and threw the bowl, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete my mission!"

Gao Yihuan patted Gao Yicheng on the shoulder, "Okay! Gu Wang believes in you. You have to tell him when you see Liu Heizi. Gu Wang has not forgotten his brother and has been taking care of his wife and niece with all his heart!"

Gao Yicheng nodded heavily, "I will do Liu Heizi's job well!"

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, then waved his hand, "Let's go, boys!"

Yuan Zongdi, Gao Yicheng and others saluted Gao Yihuan, and after a short while, three thousand Wei troops drove out of the camp, looking towards Mengjin in the north.

In Luoyang City, Geng Zhongming couldn't sleep since Gao Yihuan's army came to the city.

On the night of the third day, Geng Zhongming didn't sleep all night because the time limit given by Gao Yihuan was after dawn.

In the early morning, before dawn, Geng Zhongming left the palace with red eyes, went to check the city defense, and prepared to deal with the Wei army's attack.

He was in a trance as he rode his horse, thinking about whether Gao Yihuan would kill his son to sacrifice the flag when Gao Yihuan attacked the city, or cut Geng Jimao in front of him in front of the battle.

Just as he was thinking wildly, a general hurried over and reported loudly from afar, "My lord, the Wei army has retreated!"

Geng Zhongming was startled, he galloped his horse and hurried up to the top of the city. Looking outside the city, the camp of the Wei army was gone.

Looking at the empty land outside the city, Geng Zhongming was stunned for a while, then suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.
