At the beginning of July, Guide Province, on the west bank of the Yellow River.

More than 3,000 high-ranking soldiers are packing up.

The soldiers only need to roll up the blankets, carry them on their waists, and then bring their weapons, water bottles and other supplies, and then they can lead the horses out of the camp to assemble.

Supplies such as tents and military rations were handed over to the logistics team for collection.

In the camp on the west bank of the river, tents like white bags collapsed one after another, and the soldiers of the logistics team shuttled through them, loading the collected tents, grain, and cauldrons onto mule carts.

At this time, the soldiers who came out of the camp formed a little outside, and then according to the bureau as a unit, turned over their horses, and advanced westward.

Three thousand cavalry were roaming on the road, and the soldiers were riding on horses, and their bodies rose and fell with the horses.

At this time, Liu Heizi led a group of generals, as well as Ji Guofeng, who had just thrown in, standing on the side of the road, laughing and clenching his fists, and said to Gao Yihuan and his party, "Brother Gao, have a good trip." If there is such a thing in the future, remember to call you Brother Liu. ”

"Call your mother!" Gao Yihuan turned over the black horse, glanced at Ji Guofeng, and couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart, before he hugged Liu Heizi and said, "Brother Liu, there will be a period later." ”

After speaking, Gao Yihuan looked at Ji Guofeng, "Ji County Order, if you have time to come to Runing to sit down, Gao will definitely be hospitable." ”

Ji Guofeng arched his hand, Liu Heizi blocked in front of him, and interjected: "Brother Gao, it's not early, if you want to go back to Runing, Brother Liu won't keep you."

As Gao Yihuan expected, after Ji Guofeng arrived in Xuzhou, he was first very disappointed in Ma Shiying and others, and later asked the Xuzhou government to send grain to help the people who went to Xuzhou with him, but the Xuzhou prefect refused, so he was angry and took the people to Guide.

Within the system, there are rules of the system.

It is unlikely that the prefect of Xuzhou will take grain to help the people of Chengwu County, Gao Yihuan guessed that Ji Guofeng would come back, but he didn't guess that Liu Heizi moved fast and grabbed ahead of him.

Ji Guofeng led thousands of refugees, and as soon as he entered Yucheng County, Liu Heizi got the news, quietly ran to greet him, and settled the refugees in Yongcheng, and Ji Guofeng naturally became his guest.

After all, Gao Yihuan is on Liu Heizi's territory, and the news is not as well-informed as Liu Heizi, and when Liu Heizi came to see him with Ji Guofeng a little complacently, the matter was already ironclad, and Gao Yihuan could only acquiesce to the fact that he was cut off by Liu Heizi.

Gao Yihuan listened to Liu Heizi's words, gave him a cold face, and then pulled out the horse, and left, and instantly followed the ups and downs of the galloping brigade of men and horses, and returned west with the army.

"Brother Gao, let's go!" Liu Heizi waved his hand behind and watched Gao Yihuan ride away, but Gao Yihuan didn't turn his head, so he directly waved his horsewhip and galloped away to chase the sunset.

More than half a month ago, Boluo on the east bank of the Yellow River, after failing to force the crossing one after another, was about to make a detour to cross the river, but the news came that Tengxian County was lost, and the Ming army of Xuzhou drove Tong Tulai north.

Bolo's light troops rushed forward, and the grain and grass were left in Teng County, and as soon as Teng County was lost, Bolo lost all the grain and grass.

This made Bolo shocked, and at the same time he had no other choice but to retreat north to Linqing.

First, he needed to solve the problem of eating, and second, his original responsibility was to guard against the Ming army in Xuzhou, but now that he had not prevented it, he had to notify Abatai in case the main force of the Qing army suffered a sudden attack by the Ming army.

As soon as Bolo left, Gao Yihuan could withdraw his troops, but there was no definite news, Gao Yihuan was worried that Bolo did not really leave, and the army still stayed in Guide.

After Bolo rushed to Linqing, Abatai learned that the Ming army of Xuzhou was heading north, and Linqing could not be attacked for a long time, so the Qing army fell into a dilemma.

Withdrawing, Abatai was unwilling and did not withdraw, and the situation began to be unfavorable to the Qing army again.

At this time, as the Ming army moved north, it was impossible to continue the attack, so Abatai tried to surrender to Linqing, but was flatly rejected by Gao Mingheng.

At this time, the scouts reported that the Ming army in Xuzhou was close to Linqing, and the Shandong Ming army in Dongchang Province also left the city under the leadership of Liu Zeqing, so Abatai could only choose to evacuate overnight.

This withdrawal further boosted Ma Shiying's arrogance, and the Xuzhou official army chased after the Qing army like chicken blood, so that Abatai's already small capture and loss of most of it.

These captures fell into the hands of the Ming army, which further stimulated the officers and troops.

Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing and other generals were extremely brave and chased all the way from Shandong to Cangzhou, making Abatai almost empty-handed.

At this time, Abatai was in a hurry to get out of the customs, and the jar was broken, so he endured it, and he didn't want the Ming army to eat the leopard's gall, and the Ming army of Beizhi, which had been instigated for half a year, also ran out to intercept it.

Abatai couldn't bear it anymore, like a mad dog that had been blocked, catching and biting whomever it was.

After all, the combat power of the Eight Banners was there, and the Ming army, which was really ruthless and intercepted, was suddenly beaten all over the ground looking for teeth.

The Qing army defeated Bai Guangen, the general soldier of the Ming Dynasty who blocked the road, and surrounded and blocked the Ming army, only to wake up, and after the blood was gone, they were afraid of the fierceness of the Eight Banners and did not dare to chase again.

Moreover, most of Abatai's capture had already been lost, and the Ming army knew that he was in a hurry to get out of the pass, and the various divisions were unwilling to fight again when they saw that it was unprofitable.

When Zhou Yanru saw this, he stationed troops in Tongzhou, waiting for the Qing army to go out of the customs by itself, and he reported to Emperor Chongzhen every day, either recovering a county today, or chasing slaves for twenty or thirty miles, so that Chongzhen Longyan was happy.

However, none of the Ming troops actually went to war, and they didn't dare to intercept the mad dog Abatai, but they just followed behind and watched Abatai get out of the pass.

Chongzhen was kept in the dark by Zhou Yanru's beating, thinking that he had really hit Abatai hard, and rewarded Zhou Yanru lavishly.

However, only a few days later, Zhou Yanru was denounced by Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Emperor Chongzhen learned that he was happy in vain, and felt deeply deceived by Zhou Yanru, and in a fit of rage, he took Zhou Yanru to prison and executed him soon after.

After Gao Yihuan received the exact news of the Qing army's exit, he decided to return to Runing and prepare to seek Xiangyang.

What he didn't know was that because of Zhou Yanru's matter, Emperor Chongzhen was also suspicious of Ma Shiying's beating and killing of Bier Tahar and Li Shutai, and asked Jinyiwei to investigate.

Jinyiwei checked, Biertahar and Li Shutai were indeed killed, but according to a Jinyiwei Xiaoqi surnamed Fang, they did not die at the hands of the Ming army, but were killed by a thief named Gao Yihuan among the thieves.

This Gao Yihuan, Emperor Chongzhen has some images, and after asking, he remembered that it was the thieves who captured Runing and captured the pro-domain, which made Emperor Chongzhen furious, thinking that Ma Shiying and the Xuzhou Ming army were colluding with the thieves.

However, although the emperor was angry and suspicious, at this time, the news of Li Zicheng's proclamation of the emperor in Xi'an came to Beijing, and Chongzhen not only did not issue an order to ask Ma Shiying, Huang Degong and others about Gao Yihuan, but gave several military leaders a lot of rewards.

Of course, Gao Yihuan, who returned to Runing on horseback, didn't know about these things, and didn't expect him to actually enter Chongzhen's field of vision.
