However, as soon as Xiao Tianjian returned to Luoyang, news came from Shandong, saying that the slave chief Yue Tuo led the Jiannu army to capture Jinan, which was weak in the city, and after entering the city, he washed it up, killing tens of thousands of Ming people inside and outside the city, and took away Zhu Youshu, the king of Jinan, the general of Fengguo, Zhu Ensheng, and the young and strong people of the city, and the Dolgon army who was forced into Shandong, and began to carry a large number of people, livestock, gold, silver, grain and other materials that were expelled from this invasion and began to return north.

Almost at the same time, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, and Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, also led 100,000 Shaanxi troops along the Great Wall, through Taiyuan, Shanxi, to enter the land of Jingfu.

However, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting still entered the guard too late, and when they arrived at the land of Jingfu, most of the Jiannu had already been plundered and began to return north.

Looking at the situation of the imperial court at this time, it can be said that it is a mess, in the entire Jingfu land, before Hong Chengchou led the Shaanxi soldiers into the guard, only more than 10,000 Shanxi Xuanda soldiers and officers under the command of the new Xuanda Governor Chen Xinjia were still formed soldiers and horses and tens of thousands of Beijing battalions and Guanning troops of the Beijing Garrison Division, while the two corps controlled by Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian were basically defeated by Jiannu and scattered throughout Jingfu, and they had no combat effectiveness.

And Chongzhen after learning that Gao Qiqian Qiu County was defeated by Jiannu, he sat in the dragon chair for a long time and did not speak, for Gao Qiqian, he still trusts him very much, the reason why he ordered to remove Gao Qiqian's post as the director of the army, let Liu Yuliang take over him, in fact, it was just to calm the anger of the people, but he never thought of really cutting off his head after arresting him, but now Gao Qiqian has made the entire 30,000 most elite Guan Ning army of the Ming Dynasty into such a look, Chongzhen really has the intention of killing him at this time.

It's a pity that according to the news from the battlefield, Gao Qiqian disappeared after the war, and now there are several possibilities: one is that he was killed by Jiannu and abandoned his body in the chaos, and the second is that this guy knows that he is deeply responsible and may have absconded in fear of crime, and third, he may be captured alive by Jiannu.

Among these three possibilities, what he wants to see the most is Gao Qiqian dying in the chaos, otherwise, this guy knows too many things, and if he doesn't get it right, it will become a great threat.

At the same time, he also learned one of the reasons for Gao Qiqian's defeat, this battle Gao Qiqian was actually teased by the Xingtianjun to Qiu County, Chongzhen could think that Gao Qiqian wanted to fight against the water, and relied on a great merit to clear his name, but he was deceived into the battlefield and became a victim of Jiannu's men.

Now as long as he thinks of the words Xingtianjun and Xiao Tianjian, Chongzhen hates it and grits his teeth, he is a ninety-five supreme Ming Emperor, but he can't help this gang of Xingtian thieves, every time he comes up with a way to deal with them, he is always resolved by them, and he will retaliate at ten times the cost. This time, the court stole chickens and rice, and lost his wife and soldiers.

At this point, Chongzhen had already had an ominous premonition, feeling that the dragon chair under his ass might not be able to sit steadily, this Xingtian Army had become his biggest strong enemy, far exceeding the threat of other mutant armies to his Ming Dynasty.

Followed by the news that Jinan was conquered by Jiannu, King De was taken captive by the Tartars, which undoubtedly gave Chongzhen a great blow, and now it can be said that the Ming Dynasty has completely entered the point of internal and external difficulties, internally, there is such a strong Xingtian Army as an enemy that the imperial court can not deal with, and externally, there is Liaodong Jiannu who is eyeing the Guannei, and it is also a strong enemy that is almost impossible to deal with. If you don't get it right, you can be overturned by one of the enemies at any time.

For this situation, Chongzhen can no longer bear it, after Jinan is broken, a large number of Jiannu troops have begun to return north, so he will have to spare more energy to deal with this Xingtian army.

However, what made him feel a little better was the news from Henan, saying that Zuo Liangyu had sent a large army into Henan after the New Year, recovered Nanyang Mansion in one fell swoop, and killed nearly 10,000 thieves in Nanyang Mansion.

So Chongzhen was immediately overjoyed, and ordered to reward Zuo Liangyu and Fu Ruwei and others, calling them the pillars of the country, and urging them to continue to serve the country and exterminate the criminal thieves as soon as possible.

But this kind of happiness is only a matter of a moment, Chongzhen was immediately overwhelmed by more worries, and now Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian are nowhere to be found, but someone swears that he has seen Lu Xiangsheng's body in the Xingtian Thief Army, but because there is no basis for his words, he has never been able to determine Lu Xiangsheng's life and death, to some extent, now Chongzhen has begun to believe in Lu Xiangsheng's death, but for Gao Qiqian, this bastard thing, also disappeared after the Qiu County War, and they disappeared if they didn't see it, The important thing is that after the defeat of the generals under them during this period of time, it seems that they have all evaporated from the world, and they don't know where they have led the remnants of the defeated generals to hide.

Although these generals seem a little incompetent, after all, the imperial court still depends on them, and someone always has to lead the troops in this war! Military generals are not as easy to find as soldiers, if these people are afraid of the court to hold them accountable, and they dare not show up with the troops, who else can the world expect to help him defend? What's even more terrifying is that if these soldiers and generals are afraid of being held accountable afterwards, they simply take refuge in Jiannu or criminal thieves, wouldn't it be even more troublesome?

Therefore, Chongzhen discussed with Yang Sichang for this reason, and decided to publicly issue an edict to those defeated generals, saying that the responsibility for this defeat was not on them, but on Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian, exempt them from responsibility, let them appear quickly, and the court would still keep them.

In this way, after learning that the imperial court had decreed that they should be exempted from accountability, these defeated generals who had disappeared for many days appeared one by one in various parts of Jingfu, and the first to appear was Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, and Hu Dawei, the deputy general of Shanxi, the two of them were in the battle of Julu that day, because the camp was conquered by the Tartar soldiers, and the soldiers in the battalion were divided by the Jiannu army, so that they could not get together with Lu Xiangsheng, and later when the Xingtian army suddenly appeared and entered the battlefield, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei took advantage of the situation to lead hundreds of officers and soldiers to fight their way out of the encirclement and get out of the battlefield.

Originally, they could have joined the Xingtian Army, but because Hu Dawei had been defeated by the Xingtian Army many times back then, and now he was about to be destroyed by the Tartars, but was saved by the Xingtian Army, this face was really gloomy, so he refused to lead the troops to join the Xingtian Army, and at the same time, Yang Guozhu was also worried that he would be charged with a thief afterwards, so after the two discussed, they led the remnants of the soldiers to sleep all the way, and fled to the Dingzhou area with hidden whereabouts, until they heard that the imperial court issued an order not to hold them accountable, they dared to lead the troops to appear in Baoding Mansion.

As soon as the two appeared, they immediately wrote a note, reported the details of the battle of Julu to Chongzhen, angrily reprimanded Gao Qiqian for not saving him when he saw death, and how they broke through later, and the two also wrote Lu Xiangsheng's performance in this battle clearly, and reported to Zhu Youzhen together, Zhu Youzhen did not find out until this time that he had misunderstood Lu Xiangsheng, and Lu Xiangsheng may have really been seriously injured.

With the entry of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, the Jiannu army left Jingfu, and the safety of the Jingshi was basically guaranteed, at this time Chongzhen couldn't wait, Xiong Wencan had already been arrested and questioned, and now because of the matter of Jiannu's entry into the Kou, the position of the governor of the five provinces has been vacant, and the Xingtian Army is larger than Henan Jinnan and other places, if you don't find a way to suppress the Xingtian Army as soon as possible, it is really not certain who will be in this world in the future.

Therefore, although the Jiannu Army is still raging in northern Shanxi and Shandong, and has not yet withdrawn from the Guanwai, Chongzhen is still impatient to recruit Yang Sichang and asks Yang Sichang how to deal with the big trouble of the Xingtian Army.

It is definitely not possible to recruit Fu, although because the Tartars entered the court and said that they wanted to recruit Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian verbally agreed, but the conditions of the two sides could not be negotiated at all, and the conditions proposed by Xiao Tianjian were simply to cede the land and become the king, and the money for raising soldiers would have to be paid by the imperial court, and no one could agree to this condition, so the only way to continue to attack the Xingtianjun was to continue to suppress it.

Yang Sichang actually didn't have many good ways at this time, and now the official army in the Jiliao area collapsed a lot with the Tartar entry into the Kou this time, and the troops were very empty, and Gao Qiqian lost a lot of soldiers and horses in Qiu County, which made the Shaanxi soldiers who Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting entered the guard this time to stay and resist Jiannu, so the strength of the official army in the hinterland of the Central Plains was even more empty.

Now only Zuo Liangyu and Zuo Guangxian, He Renlong and other departments in Shaanxi are left, but can they take care of the Xingtian Army?

Yang Sichang asked himself if he was not sure, after all, this time he knew better than the emperor that the Xingtian Army went north with only more than 10,000 troops, and defeated the Jiannu army several times in various parts of Jingfu, killing thousands of Jiannu people, but he did not taste a single defeat, who else in the world of the Xingtian Army could take care of them, Yang Sichang did not know.

Chongzhen saw that Yang Sichang was very eloquent on weekdays, but today when he asked about the extermination of the Xingtian Army, he was a little secretive, and he immediately became unhappy, thinking back to what Yang Sichang had done since he took the throne in the past two years, Chongzhen suddenly found that Yang Sichang was not as capable as he thought at first, although at first he put forward the strategy of opening the net on four fronts and six corners and ten sides, and saw some results, but in the end, it made the Xingtian Army sit big in the Central Plains, and he recommended a Xiong Wencan, In the end, the huge Henan was basically lost to the Xingtian Army, but it was just to appease Zhang Xianzhong and other thief chiefs.

And now he is having a headache about the affairs of the Xingtian Army, but Yang Sichang, who is regarded by him as the minister of the humerus, can't come up with any good solutions, which suddenly makes him quite unhappy.

Speaking of which, Yang Sichang only said that he wanted to reuse Zuo Liangyu and make him recover the lost territory in Henan as soon as possible, and he could also call the Shaanxi Herenlong Department to enter Henan and use troops against the Xingtian Army at the same time, so that he could restrain the Xingtian Army Yunyun, and he never came up with a very good way.

Chongzhen was even more displeased after hearing it, so he asked him who could sit in the Central Plains, and the commander-in-chief suppressed the Xingtian Army, and at this time Yang Sichang was really forced into a corner, so he had no choice but to ask for orders to go to Huguang to supervise the battle in person, and dispatch all troops and horses into Henan to suppress the Xingtian Army.
