Zu Keyong, Zhang Hua, Xiaoying, Zhezhe, Gan Bao, Jiang Xingyuan and others were shocked, Zhu Dadian and Hu Dawei, the two chief officers, with more than 10,000 horses under their command, couldn't even hold the camp, so they just let Li Zicheng's thousands of men and horses run away, and they also lost thousands of soldiers and horses, which is really a waste.

Next, I asked Lin Yi what to do? Lin Yi smiled, not in a hurry at all, "Li Zicheng will run away, this may be the will of heaven, Li Zicheng's life should not be extinguished." ”

"Then what if Yang Gebu is to blame? What if someone impeached the imperial court and failed to lead the thieves? ”

"Hehe, don't worry, whether it is Yang Sichang or Emperor Chongzhen, this matter is not to blame on our heads, the commander of this country cut off Li Zicheng's retreat, recovered Nanyang City, and drove away Li Zicheng, there is no merit, if you want to say that the thief is not effective, it is Zhu Dadian and Tiger David, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Your Excellency is wise."

Next, Lin Yi issued an order, sent out the stick to calm the people, and all the men and horses moved to the city, and strictly enforced military discipline, and those who violated the order were killed.

Nanyang City changed the world overnight, and these ordinary people slept to death, and they didn't know what was going on. The next day, I got up and went to the street to see that Li Zicheng was gone, and this place had become the world of the Ming Dynasty again.

However, it had no impact on them, and when Li Zicheng came, he did not infringe on the common people, but only killed some officials and robbed the landlords and rich gentry.

Now the officials and troops of the Ming Dynasty have come in again, driving away Li Zicheng, and they have not committed any crime against them. They do what they have to do, the shops are still open, the business is still going to be done, everything is the same as before, in order.

It's just that some ordinary people wonder when Li Zicheng left and they don't know when Lin Yi's men and horses entered the city.

In the streets and alleys, there are many discussions in private.

A few days later, Yang Sichang, the head of the cabinet, Li Wenhai, the head of the military department, Yue Qijie, the governor of Henan, and other staff, escorted by Yuan Shu of the Great Liang Soldier Dao with thousands of Kaifeng soldiers along the way, also came to Nanyang City from Luoyang, and Lin Yi knew that of course they were coming to supervise the war.

Lin Yi, Zu Keyong and others took Yang Sichang and others into the city, and the chief military officers Zhu Dadian and Hu Dawei also came to visit the cabinet lord.

Yang Sichang fully affirmed Lin Yi's achievements in the first battle of Nanyang, and praised him in front of all his staff.

Then Zhu Dadian and Hu David were severely reprimanded, saying that they were ineffective in suppressing the thieves, let the thieves run into the mountains, and the officials were demoted to one level and fined for one year to see the after-effects, and immediately played Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhu Dadian and Hu David lowered their heads, they were scolded like Sun Tzu, there is no big problem with the demotion of officials, they are still the chief military officers, and they are still in charge of so many people, but a sub-word is added in front, mainly because they have worked for nothing this year, and they have worked for the imperial court, and they have no salary for a year.

Then Yang Sichang gave an order and ordered Lin Yi, Hu David, Zhu Dadian, and Yuan Shu to lead their headquarters into the mountains to suppress the thieves.

Several men and horses were added together, more than 50,000 officers and soldiers, 50,000 people were dispatched, and they entered the southern foot of Funiu Mountain to search the mountains to suppress thieves, and the remaining 3,000 men and horses were mainly Kaifeng soldiers stationed in Nanyang City, and Yang Sichang and others personally sat in Nanyang to supervise the division.

The east, north and west of Nanyang City are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and some people have found out that Li Zicheng's thousands of men and horses ran into the Funiu Mountain in the north, but Funiu Mountain belongs to the mountain system at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and the terrain in the mountains is complicated.

These groups of men and horses are just guarding a few mountain passes, not letting Li Zicheng come out, none of them go deep, and I don't know where Li Zicheng is hiding, Lin Yi's more than 20,000 people are stationed in the Nanzhao area.

On this day, Zhang Hualai reported to Lin Yi that the informant he arranged had discovered that Hao Shaoqi had entered the mountain.

Lin Yi heard it, this guy can really go around, the tiger mouth battle, it's been so long, Lao Hao hasn't found his team yet?

After listening to Zhang Hua's detailed explanation, Lin Yi knew what was going on. Because several informants who followed Hao Shaoqi were arranged by Zhang Hua, they were all from Lin Yi's guard battalion, and they had been watching Hao Shaoqi's movements for the past few days.

For this Hao Shaoqi, Lin Yi can be regarded as well-intentioned. He couldn't bear to kill him, and he was unwilling to surrender, so he let him go several times. Now that he is not tolerated by Li Zicheng's people, Lin Yi has no choice but to send someone to keep an eye on him secretly.

It's been dozens of days, and Hao Shaoqi has come out again.

As soon as Lin Yi heard this, Hao Shaoqi must be looking for Li Zicheng, and the thief must be easy to find, and the opportunity to surrender Hao Shaoqi has come again, if he doesn't surrender, Lao Tzu will keep hacking him, until he is desperate and obediently comes to surrender.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi once again told Zhang Hua to send more manpower, keep an eye on Hao Shaoqi, don't startle the snake, and report anything immediately.

"No." Zhang Hua agreed to make arrangements.

After Hao Shaoqi was alone, he was not allowed by Li Guo, and he wanted to find King Chuang to prove his innocence, but he didn't have a horse, and he walked much slower.

Fortunately, it is not winter, at the turn of summer and autumn, he can find some food to fill his stomach, lie down on the rocky ground to sleep when he is sleepy, and drink mountain springs when he is thirsty. Relying on his strong physique, sometimes he catches a rabbit to eat, it doesn't matter if he doesn't live, and he can't starve to death if he eats raw.

In this way, he wandered around the mountains around the tiger's mouth for more than ten days before he came out.

After finding the official road to Nanyang, he first came to the inner countryside. He knew that Nanyang Mansion, including the three southern counties, was Li Zicheng's territory, but when he came, he was dumbfounded, it was all officials and soldiers, and he didn't dare to enter the city.

I asked someone in private, and then I learned that Li Zicheng's men and horses were driven away by Lin Yi's people. Hao Shaoqi gritted his teeth secretly, the surname Lin was really ruthless, and he even won the battle.

A few days later, he went to Nanyang again, but when he arrived in Nanyang, he saw that the banner of the Ming army was also flying on the head of the city, and he was driven away by Lin Yi when he inquired about Li Zicheng.

Hao Shaoqi couldn't help but scold his mother, could it be that even King Chuang couldn't beat Lin Yi?

For so many days, Hao Shaoqi's legs were almost thinner, he didn't dare to walk the avenue, drilled into the mountains and forests, couldn't wash his face all day long, was hungry and full, so that no one was a ghost or a ghost, and no one recognized him, and now he is exactly the same as the fleeing people.

Where to find King Chuang now? You have to fill your stomach first. Hao Shaoqi entered a farmhouse and stole an old hen, which had just come out of the coop after laying eggs and was caught by him. As soon as the rooster crowed, an old man came out of the house, and Hao Shaoqi came up and pinched him.

It's really not bad, he forced the general direction of Li Zicheng's army from the old man's mouth, Hao Shaoqi didn't kill the old man, and ran away with the old hen.

When he reached a place where no one was, he plucked the feathers, twisted the legs and the head, and gnawed the old hen away.

gnawed his mouth full of blood, spit out the chicken bones on the ground, and after a raw old hen went down, Hao Shaoqi felt that after the goods in his stomach, he was much more comfortable. Carrying his big flagpole, he entered the southern foot of Funiu Mountain.

Along the way, he found a lot of officers and soldiers, and he didn't go to provoke the officers and soldiers, and he avoided the officers and soldiers and drilled into the mountains and forests.

Two days later, Li Zicheng's village was finally found, and this village was built on a mushroom-shaped peak. Li Zicheng is really good at finding a place, this is really a dangerous place that can not be opened.

After the breakthrough of Nanyang City, Li Zicheng and Liu Zongmin's men and horses converged at the southern foot of Funiu Mountain, and after this battle, they lost thousands of men and horses, and now they are two people together, only more than 3,000 people.

Because there were few remaining people, in order to prevent the officials and soldiers from searching the mountains, Li Zicheng found such a place in the depths of the mountains to set up camp.

Li Zicheng's soldiers guarding the village did not recognize Hao Shaoqi at first, until Hao Shaoqi began to curse and wanted to wave a big flagpole to smash them, and did not recognize him.

But no one dared to let him into the cottage, so he hurriedly sent the letter inside, and Hao Shaoqi was waiting below.

Li Guo heard it, what, Hao Shaoqi still dared to come? This traitor slaughtered him! Now as soon as Li Guo mentions Hao Shaoqi, he is angry. In the first battle of Laohukou, 10,000 horses and horses were almost wiped out. Isn't it all because of this Hao Shaoqi?

"Slow down, let him into the village!" Of course, Li Zicheng would not be so reckless, he had long wanted to meet this Hao Shaoqi, he didn't believe in his heart that Hao Shaoqi would betray him and surrender to Lin Yi.

More than half an hour later, someone led Hao Shaoqi to Li Zicheng's approach, Li Zicheng looked at Hao Shaoqi, he hadn't seen him for more than two months, and he almost couldn't recognize him.

In the past, Hao Shaoqi was a general under him, majestic and burly. And now the beard is unshaven, similar to a flower child, and the military uniform on his body is not hanging out of shape due to drilling in the mountains and forests, but in order to avoid the official army, he has already taken off and thrown it away. The whole body is tattered, dirty, dusty, I don't know how many days I haven't washed it, and I don't know how many days I haven't washed it, and I am unkempt.

When Hao Shaoqi saw Li Zicheng, perhaps aggrieved, or excited, he knelt down with a normal sound.
