With the first rays of sunlight shining on the earth, the Daimyo's Mansion that had been fought all night was finally broken, and a large number of Dongjiang troops poured into the palace and occupied the streets and alleys.

Cheng Zuo led a team of Dongjiang troops to the government office to arrest Gao Qidive, but after a close search, he found that there was no such person?

Disappeared with Gao Qiqian and the prefect of the city and his family, Cheng Zuo frowned. The Dongjiang army had already surrounded the whole city, and at this time, even if the people in the city were winged, they could not escape.

But Gao Qiqian and the prefect are gone? As if it had disappeared out of thin air, the entire city had been dug into the ground by the Dongjiang army to find it, but it was never found, and Chengzuo fell into confusion.

Li Dahu followed him, and this time he came to cut off Gao Qiqian's head with his own hands to avenge his daughter. He never thought that the man was gone, and he said in a deep voice, "How did this man escape? ”

Cheng Zuo's face was solemn, he shook his head and said, "There will definitely be clues, and people can't just disappear out of thin air." ”

Li Dahu wanted to say something, but after opening his mouth, he hesitated for a moment, and finally kept silent.

Cheng Zuo could see Li Dahu's disappointment, he turned to face him, and assured with a chuckle: "Don't worry, General Li, Gao Qiqian will definitely not be able to escape." ”

Li Dahu didn't say anything more, nodded his head to show his belief in Cheng Zuo, and then led his troops to continue the search in the city.

Cheng Zuo looked at the back of Li Dahu leaving, sighed lightly, and also led people to continue the search.

The Daimyo's Mansion was broken, and Mao Wenlong received the news as soon as possible, which should have been something to be happy about, but he couldn't be happy because of the disappearance of Gao Qiqian and the prefect.

"Where can this high dive escape during the siege?" Mao Wenlong threw away the Tang newspaper in his hand, feeling very unhappy.

"Where else can I flee to? You can't just hide underground, or you can escape from some secret passage in the city. This kind of thing is normal for Hong Chengchou, he has encountered many such things before.

Mao Wenlong also felt reasonable: "Then do you say that Chengzuo will know this?" Would you like to send someone to tell them? ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head and smiled: "There's no need, wait two more days, and there should be news." ”

Seeing that Hong Chengchou was so confident, Mao Wenlong also gave up, put this matter aside for the time being, and let Li Dahu and Chengzuo toss.

Mao Wenlong was silent for a moment, and asked thoughtfully: "Shanxi's current imperial army has been withdrawn, do you think we should take the opportunity to take it?" ”

Hong Chengchou glanced at Mao Wenlong with some surprise: "Why do you suddenly want to take Shanxi?" ”

Mao Wenlong walked back and forth in the study for a while, stopped in front of Hong Chengchou and said, "Is it a pity to give up such an opportunity." ”

Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment and said: "Actually, it is better to take Shanxi than to move to Shaanxi, at present, we can deal with Li Zicheng and not really fight with the imperial court." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded, he also understood the meaning of Hong Chengchou's words. The imperial court is still guarding the border pass and blocking Houjin from the gate, so before Mao Wenlong doesn't want to fight with Houjin, the best thing to do is, of course, not to tear down the barrier of the imperial court.

And Li Zicheng is different, if Mao Wenlong attacks him, not only will the court not come to find trouble, but may also applaud.

After some deep thought, Mao Wenlong accepted Hong Chengchou's suggestion, and after he caught Gao Qiqian in Shanxi, he waved his army to attack Shaanxi directly and pulled out Li Zicheng, an unfriendly neighbor.

Two days later, Cheng Zuo really sent the news that he had found the traces of Gao Qiqian and others, and had sent someone to chase him. At this point, Mao Wenlong had already expected that Gao Qiqian would not be able to escape, and he should even reply to Chengzuo to inform him of his preparations to attack Shaanxi.

asked him to hand over the matter of Gao Qiqian to Li Dahu, and Chengzuo immediately began to integrate the army and wait for Mao Wenlong's order at any time.

At this moment, most of the cities in Shanxi have fallen into the hands of the Dongjiang Army, and no one expected that Mao Wenlong would order the withdrawal of troops at this time.

In the government office in Xi'an, Shaanxi, the injury on Li Zicheng's arm is no longer serious, but it is still wrapped in white gauze and falls on his neck. During this time, he kept a close eye on Mao Wenlong's movements, and when he learned that the imperial court had withdrawn troops and left Shanxi, and Mao Wenlong had also begun to evacuate Shanxi, he used his brains and prepared to take the opportunity to seize Shanxi again.

Shanxi is the last barrier of the Beijing Division, and only by capturing Shanxi can it be possible to restrain the imperial court, and it can enter the Beijing Division at any time. The supreme imperial power is so tempting that Li Zicheng can't resist it at all.

He didn't think about whether the Houjin outside the gate had been eyeing the Houjin, and he didn't consider whether his rebel army would be able to resist the invasion of the Houjin army.

"Pass the order down, abandon Shaanxi and prepare to assault Shanxi."

Li Zicheng gave the order very decisively, although this move was not considered, but it was his order that allowed his army to avoid a big battle with Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army in the future.

After Chengzuo integrated the army in Shanxi, less than two days later, he received an order from Mao Wenlong, asking him to withdraw his troops immediately, and then rush from Kaifeng to Shaanxi.

At the same time, Mao Wenlong also asked all cities in Henan to send troops to Xianyang City to converge.

The frequent movement of the army immediately attracted the attention of all forces. The imperial court did not know what Mao Wenlong was going to do, but after learning that he had withdrawn his troops and left Shanxi. Chongzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Mao Wenlong was willing to withdraw from Shanxi and did not threaten the safety of Jingshi, Chongzhen didn't care what else Mao Wenlong would do.

And Li Zicheng, who was originally stationed in Shaanxi, had already begun to rush to Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi, just staggering with Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Army. This led to the Dongjiang Army transferred by Mao Wenlong after entering Shaanxi, everywhere it went, there were empty cities, and no one saw it.

"What, Li Zicheng ran away?" Mao Wenlong looked incredulous.

"That's right, after the Dongjiang Army entered Shaanxi, everywhere it went was empty cities, and there was no living person." Vast and truthful.

"Can you find out when Li Zicheng evacuated Shaanxi?" Mao Wenlong absolutely did not believe that Li Zicheng could predict the prophet.

It took him less than five days to get his idea to Shaanxi, and there was no delay in integrating the army and entering Shaanxi in these five days. Even if Li Zicheng heard about it, he could not evacuate all the rebel troops in Shaanxi in just five days.

Haoda recalled for a moment and shook his head and said: "I don't know yet, the Dongjiang Army has just entered Shaanxi. ”

Mao Wenlong immediately asked Haoda to send someone to find out first, this matter must be understood, Mao Wenlong didn't want to fall into Li Zicheng's trap.

After the vast departure, Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "Don't worry, the current Li Zicheng's vitality is greatly damaged, and he will not pose a threat to us for a while." ”

After Mao Wenlong heard this, he nodded and said, "That being said, it is true, but it doesn't hurt to be careful!" ”
