Fu Zonglong is actually quite capable, just by his surprise attack on Shexian can explain the problem, and Fu Zonglong is also a conclusive person in history, but his luck is not good enough, and the generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, so he was surrounded by Li Zicheng in Xiangcheng and was later caught and killed.

Diao Zheng originally planned to fight a tough battle, but he didn't expect Fu Zonglong's arrangement, so he immediately suffered a loss.

As soon as Shexian was broken by Fu Zonglong, Fu Zonglong did not delay in Shexian for a while, so he immediately supervised the division to the south, passed through the mountain road, and rushed straight to Huaiqing Mansion, so that Fu Zonglong did not have to go along the way Zhangde Mansion, Weihui Mansion and Xing Tianjun to fight to the death, and directly became able to reach the territory of Huaiqing Mansion on the north bank of the Yellow River.

After Diao Zheng learned the news, he scolded his mother angrily, and he didn't dare to slack off and immediately led the troops towards Huaiqing Mansion, not that Diao Zheng was in a hurry to get angry, this time in order to deal with Fu Zonglong's army to the south, Diao Zheng thought that Huaiqing Mansion was in the rear, and the threat was not great, so he transferred the troops of Huaiqing Mansion to Zhangde Mansion, and he only left a reserve battalion in Huaiqing Mansion with less than 1,000 people to guard, and Fu Zonglong led nearly 30,000 officers and troops, and only Huaiqing Mansion did not have a full reserve battalion, which could not stop them at all.

As soon as Huaiqing Mansion was lost, the official army went straight to the Yellow River, and crossed the river to directly enter Luoyang City, now Fu Zonglong's intention is very obvious, that is, to attack Luoyang City, forcing Xiao Tianjian to give up attacking Nanjing, and Luoyang City is not as good as Nanjing, Liu Bao's department in Henan is under great pressure, the east must defend against the official army in Shandong and the north of the south, and the west must defend against the Tongguan area of Shaanxi, the main forces are placed in Guide Mansion and Shaanzhou and other places, and the troops left behind in Luoyang are very limited, if once Fu Zonglong kills Luoyang City, Luoyang is currently Xiao Tianjian's family members are in the city, and Luoyang is still the administrative center of Xing Tianjun's current situation, not to mention being breached, even if Fu Zonglong's soldiers arrive in Luoyang City, many affairs of the entire Xing Tianjun may be paralyzed.

If that was the case, Diao Zhengke would become the biggest sinner in the Xingtian Army, so Diao Zheng didn't dare to be a little lazy, and immediately led his 7,000 men and horses to rush towards Huaiqing Mansion at the speed of a forced march, and at the same time sent a fast horse to rush to Luoyang City to cross the Yellow River and rush to Luoyang City to report that Niu Jinxing, who stayed in Luoyang, hurriedly strengthened the defensive force of Luoyang City, and prevented Fu Zonglong from forcibly crossing the Yellow River to Luoyang with a partial division.

Fu Zonglong led 30,000 officers and troops to the mountains of Shexian County to approach Huaiqing Mansion, while Diao Zheng led 7,000 men and horses to march day and night from the direction of Weihui Mansion to Huaiqing Mansion.

And Fu Zonglong pounced from Shexian to Huaiqing Mansion, the distance was only about 200 miles, but Diao Zheng led the army to Weihui Mansion to Huaiqing Mansion, but it was more than 300 miles away, on the surface, Fu Zonglong seemed to take a lot of advantage, but in fact, the official army under the command of Fu Zonglong did not take much advantage, from Shexian to Huaiqing Mansion is basically a mountain road, and the official army has carried a lot of baggage, so it cancels out their advantage in distance, plus the official army is not as good as Xing Tianjun's ability to march, Diao Zheng after setting off, Having given up almost any baggage, carrying only the cannons used in their army, they began to hurry with all their might.

Fu Zonglong also knew that speed was the key to his battle, so he ordered Zhou Yuji to lead a cavalry of 3,000 people to Huaiqing Mansion first, control the Yellow River wharf in Huaiqing Mansion, and prepare for the follow-up army to cross the river.

So Zhou Yuji immediately led the troops to set off, and two days later rushed into Huaiqing Mansion before Diao Zheng, and learned that after the official army entered Huaiqing Mansion, the battalion general of the reserve battalion who stayed here knew that he was invincible, so he quickly closed the gate of Huaiqing Mansion, and summoned the people inside and outside the city to help defend Huaiqing Mansion, but he didn't think that after the official army was killed under the city of Huaiqing Mansion, he did not attack the city at all, but immediately went around the city and rushed to the dock on the bank of the Yellow River.

There were only less than 100 soldiers of Xing Tianjun stationed on the wharf, and under Zhou Yuji's surprise attack, they could only fight to the death when they were caught off guard, and the whole army was wiped out in a short time, all of them were slaughtered by Zhou Yuji, and even some of the ships on the wharf were captured by Zhou Yuji, and a large number of boatmen were also captured.

When Diao Zheng led his troops to rush back to Huaiqing Mansion in front of Fu Zonglong, Zhou Yuji had completely controlled the wharf on the Yellow River, and the angry Diao Zheng immediately led his troops to kill the wharf.

Who is Zhou Yuji? This is a very powerful member of the history of the late Ming Dynasty, he was just a very ordinary soldier, not a descendant of the general, completely by virtue of a good kung fu, coupled with the courage to fight well, and gradually accumulated merit to be promoted, Chongzhen nine years, but also led the army to have a bloody battle with Jiannu, killed dozens of Jiannu heads, for which he advanced two levels, promoted to the position of deputy general, in addition to Chongzhen eleven years and early twelve, Jiannu entered Koushan Shandong, looted a large number of people and property to return north, The armies of Shandong can be said to be fleeing from the wind, and no one dares to stop Jiannu, but only Zhou Yuji, who led thousands of soldiers and generals under his command, sent troops on orders, and used the terrain to fight to the death with Jiannu in the area of Yangliuqing for three days, and killed a lot of Jiannu.

This time Chongzhen ordered Fu Zonglong to go south, Fu Zonglong personally ordered Zhou Yuji as the main general under his command, Zhou Yuji did not disappoint him, first killed Ma Ke in Shunde Mansion, and then made a surprise attack to occupy Shexian County, and now he is the first to lead the troops to raid and seize the Yellow River Wharf in Huaiqing Mansion, which shows that this person is by no means an ordinary person.

And in the original history, Zhou Yuji is even more amazing, when Li Zicheng marched from Shanxi to Beijing, Zhou Yuji just took over the Shanxi general soldier Xu Dingguo who was arrested and killed by the imperial court, and Zhou Yuji led a small number of officers and troops in Ningwu Pass to fight to the death, and the soldiers under Li Zicheng lost their troops, Li Zicheng gave up attacking Ningwu Pass at a risk, and later said that he conquered Ningwu Pass at any cost, but Zhou Yuji still fought with Li Zicheng in the street in the pass, until he was seriously wounded and captured, and was later killed by Li Zicheng, and his family also fought to the end, In the end, they were set on fire by the rebels and burned to death.

Therefore, Zhou Yuji may be the most capable general in the Ming Dynasty, this time Fu Zonglong led the troops south, which was considered to be the right person, Zhou Yuji was really powerful, and he was caught off guard, so that the official army reached the bank of the Yellow River.

This can't be regarded as Diao Zheng's fault, but Diao Zheng's underestimation of the enemy is indeed true, so it led to the current situation, but Diao Zheng is not good at stubble, as soon as he found out that his layout was wrong, he immediately corrected it, led the troops to march back to Huaiqing Mansion, and then killed the Yellow River wharf.

Zhou Yuji also met a strong opponent this time, Diao Zheng This guy is also a desperate guy, not only brave and strategic, but also has a lot of elite generals, Zhou Yuji originally captured the dock, thinking that it was done, just waiting for Fu Zonglong to lead the main force to come, you can cross the river and go straight to Luoyang City, but I didn't think that Xing Tianjun came faster, and he rushed over shortly after he just captured the dock, Zhou Yuji did not wait for Fu Zonglong, but waited for the fierce Diao Zheng's department.

After learning that the thief Diao Zheng led his troops to kill, Zhou Yuji was also taken aback, so he hurriedly led his troops to fight, although Zhou Yuji was very capable and fierce, but after all, the officers and troops he led were not as many as Diao Zheng's troops, and Xing Tianjun's infantry tactics had a strong restraint ability for his cavalry.

Zhou Yuji had no choice but to lead his troops to escape from the bank of the Yellow River, and turned around to meet Fu Zonglong, Fu Zonglong was also taken aback after hearing the news, he did not expect Diao Zheng to return to the defense so quickly, more than three hundred miles away, he rushed over in less than three days, blocking their way.

At this time, Fu Zonglong could only lead the army to the bank of the Yellow River, this time Diao Zheng no longer gave Fu Zonglong a chance, and Diao Zheng did not let his soldiers and horses enter Huaiqing Mansion to garrison, and directly led the troops to Chen soldiers on the bank of the Yellow River, making a posture of fighting against the water.

After Fu Zonglong led his troops to Huaiqing Mansion, he first divided his troops to see Huaiqing Mansion City, and then led his troops to Diao Zheng's department, and the two armies immediately opened a position on the bank of the Yellow River, starting a major battle that was also related to the future of the Xingtian Army.
