The incumbent officials abandoned the city and fled, but the imperial court did not care how many enemies came, whether there were troops in the city, and whether there was any possibility of holding on, as long as they were caught, they would not be able to keep Xiang Shang's head.

This time, there were hundreds of governors, prefects, military commanders, Tongzhi, Tongzhi, and other officials who made up their minds to escape.

The reason why they made such a choice is nothing more than that they think that the "King of Hanjiang County" is unique, and sooner or later it will become the climate, and they, the current officials of the Ming Dynasty, take the initiative to join it, and for the sake of the overall situation, the "King of Hanjiang County" will give them a chance.

It can be seen that while the Ming Dynasty was defeated militarily by the double scourge of rogues and Jiannu, it was politically occupied by the Huang Han Dynasty at the highest point, which made the bureaucracy have more choices and became more detached from Emperor Chongzhen.

Seeing that in a few days into November, the frozen layer of the Yellow River has been able to run horses, Gao Yingxiang, Azig and others all feel that it is a good time to bypass Tongguan and enter Henan.

This year's Shaanxi can be described as having good weather and good weather, the acres of land that have not been abandoned for a long time are sufficient, the harvest has reached medium or above, and there is a large amount of grain, so there is no need to worry about the arrogance of the hungry in a year.

Gao Yingxiang was self-motivated, believing that a corner of the country would be wiped out sooner or later, and it was the only way to fight for the Central Plains to seize the world, so he took the initiative to send Li Zicheng to negotiate with the Qing army about jointly sending troops.

The most positive is, of course, Fan Wencheng, who received Chongde's handwritten letter in the autumn, and the equal tone in the master's letter made this big traitor feel that his bones were dozens of pounds lighter, and he almost floated into the sky.

Supporting the Liukou to beat the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty to a pulp while protecting the Manchurian cavalry, this task is relatively heavy, Fan Wencheng and Zilharang and Azig have discussed many times and finally reached a consensus.

No matter how smooth the offensive in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty is, we must resolutely implement the plan of only fighting for three or four months, and we must leave the Central Plains battlefield before the ice and snow melt in early February next year, and we must leave the customs at the end of February, and then return to our hometown by making a detour to Mobei.

Haninga has successfully bypassed the "Red Banner Army's" defense line and reached Shaanxi, and the total reduction of more than 20 troops is only 5 percent of the total number, which is acceptable.

He thought that as long as he prepared enough food, the army's detour to Mobei and back to Liaodong would be nothing more than a little harder, and it would take two more months to do so, and there would be no danger.

Generals such as Azig, Zilharang, and Fan Wencheng were most worried about being hit halfway, while Haninga, a veteran who made two round-trips, was full of confidence.

He clearly pointed out that the "Red Flag Army's" operation of the defense line in Monan was actually a bad move, and it prematurely exposed its goal and strength.

If there is no fortress and defense line of the "Red Banner Army" in Monan, the men and horses who are in a hurry to go home will certainly not be willing to expend more physical strength and food to bear the reduction of personnel and make a detour to Mobei, and it is very likely that they will fall into the encirclement of the "Red Banner Army" in a muddle.

However, now that this road has been cut off, when it is detoured to Mobei, the immortals cannot complete the blocking of the Donggui Manchu and Mongolian cavalry that will appear at the periphery of thousands of miles.

Therefore, Haninga emphasized that as long as the supplies were sufficient and he was willing to run away, he promised to be able to lead the vast majority of the people back to their hometown in Liaodong safely.

The Qing army reached an agreement to enter the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty to loot more grain, gold and silver treasures, and strive to return with a full load.

Gao Yingxiang has formed a de facto separation, and he is also "suppressing" during this time.

The communications of the feudal dynasty were extremely underdeveloped, and many small-scale rebel forces occupied the mountains as kings, and they did not understand or know the changes in the situation, and they did not care whether the comers were officials or soldiers.

Gao Yingxiang, who took Shaanxi, of course, could not tolerate the rampant bandits in the localities, and the armed forces of large and small bandits and bandits have been being carried out all the time.

More than half a year has passed, and Gao Yingxiang basically controls Shaanxi.

Due to the fact that a large number of subdued thieves and bandits recognized the eldest brother, Gao Yingxiang's men and horses fought hundreds of battles large and small, and did not see the attrition, but also increased 30,000 or 40,000 horses, and seized a lot of grain, gold and silver treasures from the hands of small bandits and bandits.

With the territory, it is inevitable to suffer gains and losses, in order to avoid robberies again, Shaanxi must send people to stay.

The place is too big, and there are really a lot of cities that need to be stationed, Gao Yingxiang left more than half of the troops and organized a full 150,000 horses to march east.

Zuo Liangyu's fantasy of hiding behind Gao Yingxiang is just wishful thinking, Gao Yingxiang has always been wary of this former Ming "Ping Thief General", and his old enemy Zhang Xianzhong also pays attention to Zuo Liangyu all the time.

The many big leaders of the Liukou have long reached a consensus through secret consultations, as long as the Qing army withdraws, the first problem to be solved is to embezzle Zuo Liangyu's department, and if Zuo Liangyu's father and son do not obey him, they will be sent to the Western Heavens.

Jointly sent troops to Henan, how could the Qing army and the Liukou forget Zuo Liangyu? Under the double coercion of Jierharang and Gao Yingxiang, Zuo Liangyu reluctantly led 50,000 horses to participate in the battle.

Gao Yingxiang left his henchmen Gao Yigong, Gao Ligong, Liu Zhe, Huang Long, etc. to guard several big cities in Shaanxi, and secretly gave instructions to incorporate more than 20,000 men and horses left by Zuo Liangyu when the time was ripe.

Active in the Taihang Mountains of the "winged tiger" department has more than 10,000 people, in recent years to break into a reputation, in the north of Shanxi is the uncrowned king.

Gao Yingxiang has always wanted to pull Jin Minghu into the gang, and this time he sent out an invitation again.

Zhao Shisan, Jin Minghu and other big leaders made a decision after deliberation and teamed up with the rogues to plunder Henan and Zhongdu.

After asking for instructions through the channel of the flag guard, they got a clear reply from Huang Sifang, the leader of the flag guard, that the "winged tiger" department organized elite soldiers and strong generals, and took advantage of the opportunity to cooperate with the Liukou as much as possible to integrate into it, and finally to achieve the goal of following the Liukou into Shaanxi, it is best to take over a few cities to garrison.

During this period, many retired veterans were unwilling to be lonely and took the initiative to sign up to join the flag guards, and more than 100 people were sent to work in the Taihang Mountains, and more than 20 people became the middle leaders of the "winged tigers" department.

Zhao 13 also developed one or two hundred banner guards, and there were more people under his hands, and the township warriors and regimental training in the mountainous counties were basically infiltrated, and the main force could avoid being suddenly attacked by the Ming army or other rogue armed forces if they left temporarily.

Moreover, the name of the "winged tiger" department "for the way of heaven" is loud in the Taihang Mountains, and the mountain people live a relatively stable life under their protection.

When there are out-of-town criminals, the vast majority of mountain people will take the initiative to help the "winged tigers" within their means.

Jin Minghu left half of the people to continue to actually control the Taihang Mountains, and appointed Qi Yuguo, Zhang Shouzhong, and Han Manzhi to form a three-person team to jointly handle the affairs of the base area.

He and Zhao 13 led 7,000 elite men and horses down the mountain.

These minions are all young and middle-aged, illiterate accounts for less than 30%, all have more than two years of training, even if they are mainly cold weapons, equipment, combat effectiveness is not inferior to Gao Yingxiang's old battalion personnel, discipline is even better.
