Taikang County, Henan Province, is about 200 miles away from Xuzhou.

At this time, more than one night has passed since the Qing army broke through Xuzhou and besieged Zhu Cihong and other 200,000 Ming regiments, which is enough for the red lady stationed here to get the news.

"Red handsome! More than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Xuzhou rebelled, and the Qing army should join forces with the outside to break through Xuzhou, and the emperor and 200,000 troops were besieged in the center of Xuzhou City! Since the outbreak of the decisive battle in Xuzhou, the red lady in Henan has been paying close attention to the news there, so she can get the news of Xuzhou as soon as possible.

"What! The emperor is surrounded! The red lady was dressed in a red uniform, and her eyebrows were heroic, and when she heard the news, she stood up suddenly, her eyebrows trembled, and she was extremely shocked!

A few days ago, she also heard that the emperor won two big victories in Xuzhou one after another, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty lost troops under Xuzhou City, how did Xuzhou City be broken in a blink of an eye, and the emperor was still surrounded in Xuzhou City!

"Traitors are hateful!" The red lady gritted her teeth, if it weren't for the traitor's rebellion, the situation in Xuzhou would be very good, and the chance of winning the Ming Dynasty was extremely great, but now the situation has suddenly become like this.

"Order all the armies to set off immediately to rescue the emperor!" The red lady did not hesitate to order.

Since entering Xuzhou with 10,000 red campers, the red lady first went to Xinyang, Runan, and then recruited Taikang, Huaiyang, Shangshui and other places, and swept half of Henan in less than half a year, recruiting nearly 100,000 thieves, and the team has grown to more than 110,000 people, competing with Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng, who are also in Henan!

"Hong Shuai, if you leave some troops behind and only send some soldiers and horses to Xuzhou, otherwise once all the troops leave Henan, the large area that they have managed to occupy will definitely be divided by Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng by taking the opportunity!" A Red Battalion general was embarrassed.

Red Lady, Wu Sangui, Li Zicheng tripartite forces in Henan is a three-legged momentum, the strength of the three parties is almost the same, attack each other, once the Red Lady leaves Henan, there is no doubt that Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui will take the opportunity to carve up the territory occupied by the Red Lady.

"No, the emperor is important, the land of Henan can be recaptured if it is lost, but the emperor must be rescued, and the Qing army is large, there are hundreds of thousands of troops, we only have 110,000 troops, if only a part of it is gone, it is not enough to threaten the Qing army, only all of them are dispatched!"

"Needless to say, carry out the order!" The red lady raised her hand to stop the others from talking again, and the order was irresistible.

In fact, in the heart of the red lady, not to mention the land of Henan, even half of the Ming Dynasty is not as important as the emperor, after all, what the emperor has done since he ascended the throne has made her see the hope of the world's prosperity, and the emperor is not very old, but there is no doubt that the emperor is the lord of heaven, only the emperor is orthodox today, and can bring stability to the people of the world, so she will rescue the emperor from Xuzhou anyway.

Immediately, he abandoned Taikang, which had just been occupied, and prepared to attack Xuchang, and led an army of 110,000 to Xuzhou to rescue non-stop. This is Zhu Cihong was besieged by the Qing army in Xuzhou after the first wave of Qinwang soldiers and horses, as the news spread, Jiangnan, Hubei and other places also successively prepared to send Qinwang soldiers and horses.

The news that the red lady left Henan with all the soldiers and horses was soon known by Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng.

"Hahahaha, that of the Red Lady actually left Henan, it's great, God help me!" Li Zicheng laughed.

Now, although Li Zicheng still has a trace of admiration for the red lady in his heart, he is more resentful, thinking that he Li Zicheng is the emperor of Dashun, and it is her blessing to be able to fall in love with her red lady, but I didn't expect this cheap maid not only not to accept his love, but also surrendered to Daming to oppose him, which is really hateful.

Li Zicheng couldn't wait to strangle the Red Lady with his own hands, if it weren't for the Red Lady who had been against him, he would have occupied at least half of Henan, and his power had multiplied, which was like now he could only nest in a small place in Nanyang.

and Wu Sangui, as soon as this name was mentioned, Li Zicheng's face couldn't help but turn hideous, looking like he was going to eat people.

"I, Li Zicheng, am going to make a comeback, Wu Sangui, Red Lady, one day Lao Tzu will make you regret coming to this world!"

"Order, all the armies are dispatched to attack Runan!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Guo, the last general under Li Zicheng, led the order.

Li Zicheng already has a plan, first attack Runan, in the attack on Xinyang, as long as he takes these two big cities, he can double the territory, and when the time comes, the momentum will be rebuilt, and Dashun will definitely make a comeback!

Xiangcheng!

Wu Sangui and other Guanning army of 100,000 troops gathered here, after half a year, Wu Sangui's Guanning army recovered to more than 30,000 people, and recruited more than 60,000 troops, although the strength is less than Li Zicheng and the red lady, but it is the strongest among the three parties, Wu Sangui should not be underestimated!

"Lord Wang, I just got the news that the emperor was ordered by hundreds of thousands of troops of the regent in Xuzhou, and the Red Lady gave up the territory in Henan to go to Xuzhou to rescue, should we stop the Red Lady, or take the opportunity to occupy her territory!" Gao Di, the deputy general of the Guan Ning Army, said to Wu Sangui.

The reason why the Guanning army only has more than 10,000 people in half a year is that Wu Sangui is not overwhelmed, and the more than 30,000 people in the Guanning army are still full cavalry, and the mobile power and combat effectiveness are strong.

If Wu Sangui sent the Guanning Army, relying on the mobility of all the cavalry of the Guanning Army, it would not be difficult to stop the Red Lady from going to Xuzhou, but Wu Sangui did not intend to do so.

"No, not only can we not stop the Red Lady nor take the opportunity to occupy her territory, and even we should attack Li Zicheng, so that he can't free up his hands to attack the Red Lady's territory." Wu Sangui said with a meaningful smile.

"Lord Wang, why is this!" Gao Di didn't know why.

"Daming is different from the past, the Manchu and Ming in Xuzhou two tigers fighting, there must be an injury, although the face of the Marshal followed the Manchu all the way to attack Li Zicheng, can always be the Daming Mountain Customs General Soldier, this Marshal is still the Ming Shanhaiguan Commander, the Red Lady is also the Ming general, the original reason why the Marshal is just to suppress the Red Lady, and did not embarrass her too much is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, you know, once we take the opportunity to attack the territory of the Red Lady at this time, it is almost equivalent to attacking the territory of the Ming Dynasty, This nature is different from our attack on Li Zicheng, before the battle of Xuzhou has been completely separated, we can't turn our faces with Daming! Wu Sangui squinted his eyes slightly and said.

"Lord Wang"

"From now on, don't call me Lord Wang, we are going to help Daming resist Li Zicheng, let's call me Dashuai!" Wu Sangui interrupted Gao Di and said.

"Yes, Dashuai!" Gao Di continued: "Dashuai, Dolgon's hundreds of thousands of troops have surrounded the emperor, and the defeat of the Ming Dynasty is almost inevitable, why is Dashuai still worried? ”

"You don't understand, you'll know later, carry out the order!" Wu Sangui didn't want to be verbose, he was going to Nanyang to attack Li Zicheng again, and he didn't have so much time to waste here.

In fact, in Wu Sangui's heart, he has always believed in righteousness, which is also the reason why Wu Sangui has always regarded himself as the chief soldier of Daming Mountain Customs, and refused to accept the favor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty for a long time, and after destroying Li Zicheng, he would rather attack Zhang Xianzhong alone than attack Jiangnan Nanming with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, until the city of Nanjing was broken, the Hongguang Emperor in history was captured, and the Manchu Qingming Dynasty was about to dominate the world before he really surrendered to the Manchu Qing.

On the same day, Wu Sangui's soldiers went out of Xiangcheng and rushed to Nanyang, dozens of miles away, dragging Li Zicheng's army to the death, preventing Li Zicheng from taking the opportunity to capture the territory of the Red Lady.

"Wu Sangui, one day Lao Tzu will cut you with a thousand knives and feed the dog!" When Li Zicheng learned that Wu Sangui had come to attack him again, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood!
