When the time came to September, the Chuang army was actually gradually moving in the northeast direction, and there were still many soldiers and horses stationed in the Nanzhili Imperial Court at this time, but Li Zicheng's purpose was not there, but crossed several prefectures and counties in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture, and came to set up a large camp around Guide Mansion.

Since then, some white-clad horse caravans have always been seen galloping back and forth in Guide Mansion, and although they do not cause trouble, as time went on, the court officials in Guide Mansion were horrified to find that almost everywhere were rogue soldiers and horses.

The purpose of the thieves is unknown, the civilian officials are helpless, and the generals of the Shandong Army stationed in Guide Mansion are also a little scared in their hearts, after all, the rogue is powerful, and it is not something that can be stopped by the local foreign system, so it is still necessary to ask the soldiers and horses inside Shandong.

Yang Wenyue fled, Fu Zonglong was killed, the Ming soldiers and horses in Henan and Huguang were already shocked in a day, and the soldiers and horses of the court of Nanzhili were relieved when they heard that Liukou did not approach Nanzhili, anyway, as long as they did not come from home's territory, everything was fine, and they didn't care about the safety of other places.

The time entered the beginning of October, when Wang Zheng had just defeated Azig in Liaodong, but Hao Shaoqi led 30,000 coalition troops to rush forward, but he did not go far, and soon stopped in the area of Machangji without moving.

This place is already very close to Guide Mansion, and Hao Shaoqi is just sprinkling out his horse team all day long to monitor the movement of the Ming army in Guide Mansion, because there is already a vigorous attack on Chenzhou.

The Ming army and the Shandong army did not have any intention of sending aid until Chenzhou was captured and Zhizhou died, and there was no shadow of the Ming army's banner on the ground.

In fact, not far east of Machangji, there is a foreign army belonging to the Shandong Army, the leader of this team is called Kong Luan, who was originally the largest ringing horse leader in Guide Mansion, and also the largest local hero in Guide Mansion, and now it has become the garrison of the foreign system under Wang Zheng's hand.

Speaking of which, although this Kong Luan looks like a black-faced Zhang Fei, he is really thick and thin, and some of his brains are in it.

It is said that Kong Luan had a wish to shine on the lintel, and after cleaning up the gang of ringing horse thieves, he didn't realize that he was also called "ringing horses", which was to ask the court for peace one after another.

Due to Kong Luan's attack on the city everywhere, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court of Guide Mansion not only did not accept Zhao'an, but immediately organized several encirclement and suppression, although they all ended in failure, but this also made Kong Luan gradually lose his heart and began to "plunder" everywhere.

However, his "plunder" was different from that of the rogue, Kong Luan only attacked the gentry's house, and except for 20% of the gold and silver treasures obtained for distribution to his subordinates, the remaining 80% was distributed by him to the poor people.

So his title of "Uncle Gui Dekong" came from this, such a loud horse thief hated by local officers and soldiers, somehow, he suddenly became a garrison under Wang Zheng's hands.

But the matter is man-made, people Kong Luan has found a good backer now, that Wang Zheng holds heavy soldiers and acts ruthlessly, how can he be a character who is easy to provoke, and no one dares to mention any grudges at the moment.

On the day when Hao Shaoqi entered Guide Mansion with 30,000 soldiers, he happened to catch up with him to chase and kill the horse thieves who came in all the way.

These horse thieves robbed a small village, and finally kidnapped more than a dozen women.

Like the chief general of Kaifeng Mansion, Kong Luan has always boasted of his "loyalty" after joining the Shandong Army, and this pursuit happened to encounter the Chuang army.

Speaking of a little aggrieved, Hao Shaoqi has never asked for any benefits since he met the Shandong army, first in Tongxu County, and then three sieges of Kaifeng were repulsed, this time it was only on the order of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, to test, and there was no real intention to fight.

Although the number of Kong Luan is not large, they are all the kind of horse households who throw their arms all the year round, and after joining the Shandong army, even the weapons and armor are basically guaranteed, and when they see the opponent's army, they naturally do not dare to act rashly.

The horse thief is small, and the life-saving matter is big, and Kong Luan stopped over there and didn't know what he was thinking.

Hao Shaoqi saw that the other party was waving the banner of the Shandong army, and then saw that all of them were excellent horse teams, he was already trembling three times, and the idea of going deeper was immediately eliminated in his heart, and he ordered to retreat slowly for ten miles, waiting for the army to capture Chenzhou and talk about it.

The first contact between the Shandong army and the strong Chuang army ended in such a hurry, seeing so many people on the other side, and there were many horse teams wandering around, Kong Luan was even more shocked, he thought he was going to die here, but he didn't think of retreating like this.

There was no time to breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately Kong Luan hurried to Tuocheng with his team, on the one hand, he summoned his subordinates to arrange defense, and on the other hand, he sent an emergency military report to Shandong, saying that it was a large-scale attack by Liukou.

Originally, there were more than 6,000 Ming troops stationed in various parts of Defu, but all of them were of low quality, and later less than 1,000 people were absorbed by the Shandong Army, and most of the rest of the places were garrisoned by foreign generals who had been reorganized.

In fact, most of the current Guide Province has fallen into the palm of Wang Zheng, and three new cultivation farms have been built, and there are about three battalions of soldiers and horses from the outside system, which are stationed in Tuocheng, Guide Mansion City and Suizhou Territory.

If you count the guards and Yanding and the bandits who have been recruited, the soldiers and horses can barely hold out two more battalions, but this is already the limit, and it is nothing compared to the vastness of the army, and it seems very empty.

The regular soldiers of the Shandong Army stationed along the lines of Dongchang Mansion and Wengzhou Mansion had the intention to go to Guide Mansion for reinforcements, but they could not move a single step after half a month.

First, the emperor has already issued a strict order that no soldiers and horses of the Shandong army are allowed to go out of Shandong, and there are countless pairs of eyes staring at each other, just waiting for you to make a mistake; Second, Li Yan is a little worried about the safety of the six provinces in Shandong.

Not to mention the Guide Mansion, if the invasion army enters Shandong in a big way, and the soldiers are not there, it is still unknown whether the regular soldiers of the descendants in various places can hold the defense line, after all, the current invasion army is said to have 500,000, and the combat power is also different from usual.

The news reached Licheng in late September, and Wang Zheng's team that stayed there immediately held an emergency meeting, and although Wang Zheng and the main force of the 12th battalion were not in Shandong, they were not weak internally.

The staff officers of the Military Council Department unanimously agreed that the Shandong army could not bow its head to the thieves, and as the general appointed by Wang Zheng to stay in Licheng, Deng Heizi immediately decided to personally lead the regular barracks to Guide Mansion to resist.

Later, it was blocked by Li Yan and Guan Qingtian, and Licheng is the location of the capital of Shandong, such an important place needs a prestigious future to guard it at any time.

Deng Heizi, as the only general who stayed in Shandong, must not go to the front line in person unless he has to do so, even if he stays here, he can play a role in deterring the masses.

The closest to Guide Mansion in Shandong were Dongchang Mansion and Wengzhou Mansion, which were respectively in charge of Shao Yong and Xing Yidao, so the two of them quickly received orders from the Licheng Military Division.

Not long after the Chuang army was eyeing outside Guide Mansion, the various Shandong army barracks in Dongchang and Wengzhou were already assembled towards the border.

Seeing that it is about to start again.
