Hong Chengchou has been very comfortable in the past two days, since the war in Liaodong has stopped for a while. He immediately led the people of the two towns back to Shaanxi to suppress the displaced people. How could a homeless person with extremely poor equipment be Hong Chengchou's opponent. Under the vigorous blow of Hong Chengchou, the rogues either died or surrendered. For a while, Hong Chengchou was also very proud.

"Marshal, the urgent order of the Ministry of War!" Cao Wenzhao hurriedly walked over with a document in his hand.

This Cao Wenzhao was a fierce general, and he was extremely brave in the battle between Guanwai and the Qing soldiers, and he was deeply appreciated by Hong Chengchou. At this moment, Cao Wenzhao was appointed as the chief soldier of Linzhao and cooperated with Hong Chengchou to exterminate the Liukou.

"Nonsense! Nonsense! What is this Li Xianfeng doing to eat!" Hong Chengchou, who had read the emergency order, also didn't care about the identity of Confucianism, and scolded loudly.

Cao Wenzhao picked up the document on the table and carefully browsed it, what was conveyed on this document was nothing more than the Ministry of War urging Hong Chengchou to lead his troops to defend Luoyang.

"What do you mean, Marshal?" Of course, Cao Wenzhao knew what this military department meant. He also knew that the reason why Hong Chengchou was so atmospheric was because he was unwilling to deal with a vassal king like King Fu.

"That's it! Wen Zhao, you lead 30,000 horses as the vanguard to enter Henan first, and Ben Shuai has only one request - to break through Yongping!" Hong Chengchou still believes in Cao Wenzhao very much, the reason why he sent Cao Wenzhao into Henan is to directly avoid dealing with King Fu, after all, now he is wearing the hat of the governor of Jiliao and is no longer the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and rashly entering Henan will greatly arouse Li Xianfeng's disgust, and Hong Chengchou is also doing this to paralyze them!

"The last general commands!" Cao Wenzhao hurriedly went down and prepared to go!

While Cao Wenzhao was preparing to march into Henan, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, had already taken the lead, and his 50,000 soldiers and horses had already arrived ten kilometers away from Yongping City.

At the same time that the Ming army entered Yongping City, the rogues in the city were already in chaos. Before Lu Xiangsheng's army arrived, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng had already led the main force to leave Yongping and fight in Nanyang, and those who stayed in Yongping were old, weak, sick and disabled.

Lu Xiangsheng's 50,000-strong army took the Yongping City almost effortlessly, but Lu Xiangsheng was not the slightest unhappy when he captured the Yongping City.

"Dashuai! someone brought it up!" Lu Xiangsheng's lieutenant dragged a rogue up.

"My lord, spare my life!" As soon as the rogue was brought up, he kowtowed vigorously and pleaded guilty.

"Ben Shuai asked you where your leaders have gone?" Lu Xiangsheng was eager to know where the leader of this gang of thieves had gone!

"Our big handsome、、、、、、 oh no, the leader of the big thief has been personally leading the main force to leave Yongping for three days. The rogue quickly kowtowed and confessed.

"Where did they go?" Lu Xiangsheng was very anxious.

"Our marshal asks you something, answer quickly!" the deputy general next to Lu Xiangsheng said with a threatening expression.

"The villain only heard our general talk about Nanyang, so the villain guessed that the thief must have gone to Nanyang!"

"Nanyang! Nanyang! not good!" Lu Xiangsheng suddenly thought of something, "Hurry up and order the whole army to speed up to Nanyang!"

At the same time that the Ming army stormed the head of Yongping City, Gao Yingxiang's army was already on the way to Nanyang. Almost all the soldiers of the rebel army along the way were full of unhappiness, after all, they were unwilling to abandon the prosperous and comfortable life of Yongping to embark on the journey.

"Hurry, hurry!" Li Zicheng kept urging his soldiers to speed up, he had to rush to conquer Nanyang before the imperial court returned, and Zhang Xianzhong formed a trend of echoing the south and the east and west.

"Report!" a fast horse galloped in.

"What? Yongping has been lost?" The news brought by Tanma surprised all the soldiers of the rebel army, they really did not expect that Yongping, which was high and thick in the city, would be broken by the Ming army in less than a day. They didn't dare to imagine what would happen to them in Yongping City at this time.

At this time, almost everyone set their eyes on Li Zicheng's face, and everyone's eyes were grateful for Li Zicheng's persistence at that moment.

Gao Yingxiang was naturally very happy, after all, having such a nephew was definitely a thing with a bright face.

"Hongji, what do you think will happen next?" The current Gao Yingxiang can be said to believe in Li Zicheng very much.

"Dashuai, we should rush to Nanyang immediately at this moment, as long as we defeat Nanyang, that Zhang Xianzhong and his gang will definitely not dare to underestimate us anymore, and defeating Nanyang will definitely be a heavy blow to the imperial court. Li Zicheng had even imagined Chongzhen's expression after hearing that Nanyang had fallen.

"Okay! Hurry up and give the order, the whole army is speeding up, and we must rush to Nanyang City this evening. Of course, Gao Yingxiang also understands the importance of Nanyang, and laying down Nanyang is also the first step for him to dominate Gao Yingxiang.

Nanyang City, located in the south of Henan, is the fief of the Tang Dynasty, Nanyang is rich in products, the city wall is strong, and this Nanyang is also the station of Li Xianfeng, the governor of Henan, and has always been stationed with heavy soldiers.

The reason why Li Zicheng attacked Yongping before was to pave the way for the attack on Nanyang in the future. And the facts were exactly as Li Zicheng expected, Li Xianfeng hurriedly led 10,000 Nanyang garrisons to Luoyang, leaving only 5,000 old and weak remnants in Nanyang City, which had been heavily defended.

Since Li Xianfeng left Nanyang, Nanyang's inspection has become tense. The defenders of the city gates began to scrutinize the people who passed by.

"Stop, stop!" the commander of the city gate called out to a group of people who were swaggering towards the city gate.

"This eldest brother, my lord was unfortunately infected with the plague and died, now we transport his bones back to his hometown for security, you can make it convenient!" A man dressed in linen and filial piety in the team walked out, and as he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his waist and stuffed it into the hand of the captain.

Checking the silver in his hand, Wu Chang's rigid face showed a smug smile, "Let's go, let's go!" Wu Chang waved his hand behind him with disgust, and the soldiers on both sides got out of the way.

The dark and dreary night, as if the boundless thick ink was heavily stained in the sky, there was not even the glimmer of the stars, because Nanyang had already practiced the curfew, and the lively streets during the day were like a calm river.

Although the Liukou has brought the flames of war into Henan, Nanyang did not feel the atmosphere of the war at all, and the defenders on the city tower had already fallen asleep, after all, it was so late, no one would have thought that anything could happen.

In the darkness of the night, a group of people quickly evaded the patrolling defenders and approached the city gates. The leader gestured quickly, and a group of people flexibly divided into two groups and ran towards the city tower. The poor defenders had no idea what was happening, and their heads were cut off in their sleep.

The heavy deadbolt was slowly removed, and the closed door began to reveal a crack, a glimmer of torches illuminated the silent night, and a group of horsemen suddenly appeared from a distance.
