Gao Junshan hurriedly asked these newly acquired generals to get up and speak, Xu Yixian walked in front of Gao Junshan and arched his hand: "King Qin, I, Xu Yixian, will be loyal to you from now on, and I am willing to serve the dogs and horses under your account!" ”

Gao Junshan said: "Mr. Xu, the military situation is urgent, and it is not too late to give the courtesy of the monarch and ministers in the future, and the important thing now is to quickly command everyone to evacuate here." ”

"Obey!" Xu Yixian immediately called Zhang Xianzhong's old generals to put Zhang Xianzhong's body into a cloth bag, and all actions obeyed Gao Junshan's orders.

At this time, the enemy's shouts and killings had been heard very clearly, and without further ado, Gao Junshan ordered Bai Wenxuan to leave a battalion of men and horses to resist the enemy, and the whole army withdrew in the direction of Tang County.

Gao Junshan led his team out of thirty miles, and when he saw that the pursuers behind him were far away, and was about to give the order to speed up the pace of advance, he probed the horse to report that an officer and soldier in front of him blocked the way.

Gao Junshan ordered Zhou Shichen to meet the enemy, and Zhou Shichen led his battalion to go and came back not long after.

Zhou Shichen reported: "Back to King Qin, the officers and soldiers in front of him are Yang Qi's men, and he made a way for us to evacuate quickly!" ”

Gao Junshan had a gentleman's agreement with Yang Qi, and he believed that Yang Qi would not break his promise, so he urged the army to pass quickly.

He rode a war horse and came to a mountain road, both sides of the road were full of Yang Qi's men and horses, and he saw Hu Ying riding a white horse, calmly watching the righteous army pass.

Hu Ying saw Gao Junshan coming on horseback, raised his hand to signal Gao Junshan to pass quickly, Gao Junshan passed by Hu Ying's side and did not stop, only said "Thank you for your great grace!" ”

After crossing this mountain road, there is the White River, where Cao Wenzhao's men and horses are already waiting and ready to ferry.

Gao Junshan was not worried about the battalion that stayed to intercept the enemy, and after crossing the river, he waited by the river, looking anxiously at the opposite bank.

"Here we go! Come on! Sun Kewang pointed to the other side and said excitedly.

Gao Jun Mountain looked over, and saw that more than 100 cavalry on the other side of the river had arrived at the ferry, and Cao Wenzhao met them on the other side to cross the river.

"King Qin, let's hurry up!" Sun Kewang urged.

"Wait, wait!" Gao Junshan stared at the other side with his eyes, "I will personally welcome these heroes back." ”

Gao Junshan waited until more than 100 horsemen crossed the river safely, and then he put his mind at ease, and he held Mr. Qian's hand tightly: "Thank you, although you have paid 900 lives, you have kept the safety of all of us, and we will remember you." ”

Qian Zongdao: "For the sake of King Qin, I will not hesitate to go to the soup and the fire!" ”

Gao Junshan hurriedly asked, "What's your name?" ”

Sun Kewang told Gao Junshan: "He is a hero of Tongbai's military training, called Li Derong." ”

Gao Junshan was very excited: "It turned out that we were a general trained by ourselves, you have made great contributions, and from now on you will be the chief sentinel." ”

Gao Junshan was excited and said the devil's lines.

Li Derong thanked and said: "Thank you King Qin for your love!" ”

At this time, Cao Wenzhao also crossed the river, and he said to Gao Junshan: "King Qin, quickly retreat, the enemy will soon chase after you." ”

Gao Junshan had already received a message from Yang Qi, asking him not to go back to Lutoudian, and to hurry back to Tongbai Mountain to hide.

Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong's old camp was not destroyed by the official army, and Gao Junshan ordered Cao Wenzhao to protect Zhang Xianzhong's old camp and return to Tongbai Mountain.

On September 3, the tenth year of Chongzhen (1637 AD), the people and horses who came out of Gaojun Mountain returned to the camp safely, and Cao Wenzhao also returned to Tongbai Mountain with all the family property of Zhang Xianzhong.

Gao Junshan organized an inventory team and took over Zhang Xianzhong's family property. After counting, 23,03,278 taels of silver, 3,257 boxes of gold ingots, 5,746 boxes of silver ingots, 2,895 boxes of jewelry, pearls, agate, and rare treasures, and 389 beauties were collected.

Except for Zhang Xianzhong's women, Gao Junshan's property is included in his own pocket, and those women who show off their branches, Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates have long coveted them, and Gao Junshan boldly distributed Zhang Xianzhong's women to them to win people's hearts.

Yang Qi sent Hu Ying to Tongbai Mountain, he came to ask for Zhang Xianzhong's head, because in the battle of Yang Qi's encirclement and suppression of Zhang Xianzhong, he let go of Gao Junshan's men and horses, and without Zhang Xianzhong's head, he couldn't make a difference in front of Xiong Wencan.

Hu Yinglai's second purpose is still the matter of Zhao'an, which is also what Yang Qi means, if Gao Junshan is willing to accept Yang Qi's recruitment, then he will not be blamed by Xiong Wencan if he lets Gao Junshan go, so he is anxious to implement the matter of Zhao'an.

Gao Junshan agreed to Huying's first request, and after Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates got Zhang Xianzhong's woman, they no longer bothered about Zhang Xianzhong's corpse, but Xu Yixian also asked how to deal with Zhang Xianzhong's body, Gao Junshan explained the reason to Xu Yixian, and Xu Yixian didn't say anything anymore, because he also got ten Zhang Xianzhong's women, and he didn't have time to take care of anything else when he hugged the woman to sleep every day.

The second reason put forward by Hu Ying Gao Junshan did not agree immediately, because he wanted to consider the feelings of Cai Zhishan, Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong and other people who came from the Ming Court, he wanted to solicit the opinions of these people, and made it clear to them that the appeasement was only temporary, and once the time was ripe, he still had to put up his own banner. Moreover, Gao Junshan had to promise them that as long as the Ming court had the slightest embarrassment for them, he would immediately raise the banner to rebel.

After Zhang Xianzhong's death, the whole situation was extremely unfavorable to Gao Junshan. The general soldiers Zuo Liangyu and Chen Hongfan stepped up the sweep in the Huguang Yunyang area against the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong's scattered troops, Xiong Wencan and the governors of the prison army gathered in Yuzhou to advocate appeasement, and the two rebel armies of Ma Shixiu and Du Yingjin had surrendered to Xiong Wencan, and the four rebel armies of Chuang Collapse Tian, Lao Huihui, King Sweeping the Ground, and King Xingshi camped in Yuzhou, and were also ready to be appeased.

In November, the Tongbai Mountains were unusually cold, and in order to keep everyone from suffering from the cold, Gao Junshan decided to accept Yang Qi's appeasement.

Negotiations between the two sides proceeded smoothly, but no agreement was reached on the resettlement area after the rehabilitation. Yang Qi hoped that Gao Junshan would go to Shanhaiguan to serve as the deputy chief soldier and be his lieutenant general, but Gao Junshan asked to settle in Gucheng.

After two days of dispute between the two sides, Yang Qi finally reported the decision to Xiong Wencan, Xiong Wencan was very happy when he heard that Gao Junshan accepted the appeasement, and he agreed to settle in Gucheng after Gao Junshan was appeased.

Next, Gao Junshan made the most sensitive request to the imperial court: his troops must be preserved intact. This not only involves the issue of military power, but also involves the issue of household registration, Gao Junshan and Zhang Xianzhong's people are not less than 100,000 in total, and Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates are still returning one after another, that is to say, Gao Junshan's people are still increasing, and it is really tricky to accept so many people to recruit An.

Xiong Wencan kicked this problem to Dai Dongmin, the prefect of Yunyang.

Although Gucheng is not under the jurisdiction of Yunyang, due to the proximity of the relationship, Xiong Wencan's specific household registration issues are all pushed to Yunyang Mansion. Dai Dongmin worked tirelessly to compile five rosters of Gao Junshan, detailing 80,000 of his troops and 20,000 elite soldiers.

Xiong Wencan was also impatient to play Gao Junshan's "sincerity, and there is no disagreement in the end", and urged Zhu Youzhen to approve it. Yang Sichang was worried that Gao Junshan was not really being appeased, and proposed that Gao Junshan kill Li Zicheng first, and then discuss the matter of appeasement.
