When he came back to his senses, he turned his head and asked Chen Yongfu: "What about the reinforcements, didn't you say that they came to help?" ”

Chen Yongfu pointed to the trail that was about to disappear and said: "It is the cavalry army, it is said that it is the guerrilla Wu Sangui, Bai Guangen, Tang Tong, Ma Ke and Li Fuming five-way guerrillas, and they came to reinforce on the order of Guogong to contain the thief army, let us insist, and when the main force of the imperial court arrives, it will be the day when the siege of Kaifeng will be lifted!" ”

"Is that them?" When Gao Mingheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, and suddenly felt more confident.

These five people were originally from the general army, and they were also very famous. However, he was convicted in the Battle of Songjin, disposed of by the imperial court, and demoted to a guerrilla, which has also been said in the Di newspaper.

"What do you think?" Gao Mingheng slowly recovered his mood, no longer so excited, and asked Chen Yongfu.

Chen Yongfu looked at the north, and then observed the movements of the thieves outside the city, and then said slowly: "The thieves are too big, they must be short of troops, otherwise they will not say that they will contain the thief army." We still have to wait for the main force of the imperial court! ”

"Where is the main force of the imperial court? When will it arrive? When Gao Mingheng heard this, he immediately asked.

Chen Yongfu listened, pointed to the west with his hand and said, "It should be Governor Sun's Qin army!" ”

Seeing that the Henan Patrol was a little puzzled, he explained: "There are rebels under Xiao Yuanying and Zuo Liangyu in the north, and even if the imperial court has soldiers, it can't go south. It was an accident that these five guerrillas could appear outside Kaifeng City. Only Governor Sun's side is the elite soldier I can count in the Ming Dynasty, and Governor Sun's ability to suppress thieves is also obvious to all. The imperial court must issue an order for Governor Sun to come out of the customs to rescue! ”

Gao Mingheng nodded when he heard this, and was about to speak, but he heard movement from behind: "Reinforcements, where are the reinforcements?" ”

He turned his head to look, but saw that it was Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou.

Hehe, he's happy too, right?

And the thieves outside the city, when Yuan Zongdi prevented the troops from reacting, he could only watch the cavalry of Wu Sangui and Bai Guangen cross the Yellow River again and march away, leaving behind the corpses of the thieves along the way.

His face was pale, and when he saw that the other side was full of imperial court officials and soldiers, he ordered his personal guards again: "Quick, report to the general again, the main force of the imperial court officials and troops has occupied the north bank of the Yellow River, and the entire army of Li Diwan's army has been wiped out, and there is no chance to report the news!" ”

………………

Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were dividing their troops to conquer the city in the south, and they had conquered a lot of cities, and when they were proud of their lives, they suddenly received an urgent report from Yuan Zongdi, and immediately led 20,000 cavalry troops to return to Kaifeng as soon as possible.

As a result, when he arrived in Kaifeng, Yuan Zongdi had already made a detour across the river and probably figured out the situation.

Hearing his advice, Li Zicheng couldn't help but regret a little, a little harassment of soldiers and horses, causing him to lead his troops back and interrupt the siege of the south.

However, he simply came, and he prepared to cross the river to exterminate this court army of only 10,000 people.

As a result, I didn't expect that the imperial court officers and soldiers on the other side of the Yellow River saw that there seemed to be a movement of crossing the river here, and they ran away as soon as possible.

For this situation, Li Zicheng did not encounter it in the early years of Chongzhen, but in the past few years, it has been a common thing.

He didn't care, he just left an extra 5,000 cavalry for Yuan Zongdi, and then continued to go south, but before leaving, he told Yuan Zongdi: "These imperial court officers and troops in the north are not enough troops, so they can only harass them, and they are not enough to worry about." ”

Speaking of this, he pointed to the west with his finger, and said with a grim face: "But you have to beware of that Sun dog thief, although I have sent Li Guo to lead troops to garrison Luoyang and Sanmenxia, but you must also be careful." ”

Yuan Zongdi was tricked for a while, and his face was a little unbearable, so he asked Li Zicheng: "General, there are court officials and soldiers in the north, is it that the court has already defeated Yuan Shizhong and Zuo Liangyu?" ”

As for the situation of Yuan Shizhong and Zuo Liangyu going north, they naturally knew about it.

When Li Zicheng heard this, he didn't want to think about it: "Jingshi, what other soldiers are there?" Yuan Shizhong and Zuo Liangyu are not vain people, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, how can it be so easy to solve? Emperor Lao'er must have been worried that his relatives would be killed by General Ben again, so he had to divide his troops and send such a force to contain him. ”

Yuan Zongdi listened to it, thought about it, and no longer had any doubts.

If it weren't for the appearance of Zhang Mingwei, according to the original development of history, the rescue of Kaifeng would indeed only rely on the Qin army in the end.

After a stalemate for some days, Zuo Liangyu fled first, causing the 180,000 army to collapse, and then fled into the ambush circle arranged by Li Zicheng in advance.

Only Sun Chuanting was ordered to go out of the customs and fought with Li Zicheng's troops, and at the beginning, he really had to win the battle. It's just that later the victory turned into defeat, and he couldn't save Kaifeng and fled back to Tongguan.

Whether it is in Kaifeng City, or the thief Li Zicheng, or Wu Sangui and others, their ideas are actually correct. Because no one expected what the situation of the suddenly rising Xingguo Gong was, this is the variable of the Battle of Kaifeng!

………………

On the north bank of the Yellow River, Wu Sangui and others retreated to Dongming, which was far away from the Yellow River, in one breath.

However, their mood at this time was completely different from the mood when they arrived in Dongming at the beginning.

I heard Wu Sangui say to them: "This time we exterminated 20,000 thieves, and we also went to Kaifeng City, there are guards in Kaifeng City to prove it, and it can be regarded as our best!" ”

"That's right, we have only 10,000 people in five ways, and the reinforcements of the thieves have arrived in Kaifeng, even if the Guogong asks, we have already experienced it!" Marco nodded, and immediately agreed.

When Bai Guangen heard this, he also smiled and said: "This time, we are not fleeing from the battle, we are just avoiding the enemy's edge and fighting again in the future!" ”

"Yes, yes, fight again in the coming day" Tang Tong echoed loudly, "Isn't the order of the Duke of the Kingdom to contain the thieves, we have already done it!" ”

Although they all said so, they all knew in their hearts that the next thing was to be passive and slack off, and wait for Sun Chuanting's department to leave Tongguan and attract the main force of thieves.

Otherwise, in the face of the main force of the thieves, if the battle is lost, even if the whole army is not annihilated, after the loss of the army, it will not be able to pull the strong Ding to replenish the troops as before, and the court will not investigate and not say, and the only little reliance will be gone.

However, things never went as planned.

The next day, Wu Sangui suddenly summoned the other four guerrillas urgently, and said to them with a strange face: "Everyone, we must move!" ”

"What do you mean?" When Bai Guangen heard this, he immediately asked, "Could it be that the main force of the thieves has crossed the Yellow River?" ”

When the others heard this, they also showed worried expressions. But they are a little strange, in the south are deployed to not collect at night, and they have not heard the return of their own night not collecting, and the thieves have not crossed the river in a big way?

Wu Sangui listened, shook his head and said, "It's not that the main force of the thieves crosses the river, but that we have to fight the thieves again......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ma Ke: "I said Wu Sangui, you have the ability to go, anyway, I won't go, there are obviously a lot more thieves' cavalry, you can do it yourself, right?" ”

When Wu Sangui heard this, he stared at him with a smile and said, "Really? ”

Li Fuming saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, do you have any news?" We advance and retreat together, and we don't distinguish each other, right? ”

The others also reacted, with their understanding of Wu Sangui, if it weren't for the new situation, he would definitely not be so active in fighting the thieves.

Therefore, they all relented and said good things. :/

When Wu Sangui saw this, he said to them: "The latest news, Min Benbing is sick and returned to Beijing to recuperate, and the army is under the command of Guogong......"

"What?" When Ma Ke heard this, he immediately interrupted him in surprise and said, "Min Benbing has returned to Beijing to recuperate, so how can this battle be fought?" ”

"Yes, Guogong's age is there, he ......" Bai Guangen said this, a little afraid to say bad things about Guogong, after all, in today's court, Guogong is in full swing, so he changed his words and said: "Then will the Beijing camp withdraw the army?" ”

“……”

Wu Sangui listened to them talking, and his reaction when he first heard the news made him feel a lot more comfortable, so he raised his voice a little and said, "Can you listen to me?" ”

When the other four heard this, they all looked at him and waited for him to speak.

"Guogong rode alone in front of the two armies to persuade him to surrender and incorporate the Xiao Yuan battalion, and then defeated the rebels of Zuo Liangyu's department in a battle, although he did not catch Zuo Liangyu and Hou Sui, but at most they only let them run a thousand to ride, and all the grain, grass and baggage fell into the hands of Guogong."

When Wu Sangui said this, seeing their stunned looks, he said in an aggravated tone: "The great victory of the Guogong, if you go south in a few days, you will rush over!" ”

It took a while for Bai Guangen and the others to come back to their senses, and they were all very surprised.

Because of the rebellion of Zhang Xianzhong and others, how long has it been, so they never thought that Xiao Yuanying would be recruited. Unexpectedly, the famous Zuo Liangyu, who shouted for the side of the Qing monarch, was basically wiped out by Guogong in the first battle.

This...... It's unbelievable!

They were even a little skeptical about the truth of the news, and asked Wu Sangui again, and after receiving a positive answer, they couldn't sit still anymore.

Xingguo Gong's wisdom and martial arts were far beyond their expectations. If they thought that they could fool the court and the prince after winning the battle for a while, now they don't have this idea.

Guogong is so capable of fighting, how can he not see their careful thinking. If this leaves a bad impression on the Guogong again, then unless you are a thief, you will definitely not be able to mix in the court.

Thinking so, they all unanimously decided to lead their troops south and fight the thieves again.
