"Brother Xing, do you think it's worth it?"

Yang Biao realized that the defeat of the Hutuo River was completely the deliberate pretending of Li Xingzhi's hands in the east, and he got rid of the burden that dragged the Jingbei army into the east, that is, the more than 10,000 Gaoyang people, and at the same time, it also made the Gaoyang young and strong who accompanied the army, all of them had the same hatred for the enemy, so that the newly compiled young and strong people were able to turn their grief into strength, unite around Li Xingzhi, successfully reach Leiden, and then completely annihilate the Yuetuo department, and the rise of the Jingbei army is unstoppable.

"Value, tens of thousands of people died and lived in Shandong and even hundreds or even tens of millions of Li Shu in the Central Plains, which is more important, Brother Yang, you should understand, if you really understand, after the Zhangjia mouth money and grain arrive in Kaifeng, then give the lonely army south, what is the puppet dynasty Anqing guard general Liu Liangzuo, you pass a word to him for Lone, if he is willing to return with the whole army, Lone will be renamed Zunhua General Soldier, Dongping Marquis, with Lone to build the state, if he makes new contributions, he is a duke, Lone is also willing."

Li Xingzhi didn't want to be entangled with Yang Biao about the Hutuo River, but shifted the topic to the Southern Expedition, of course, if Yang Biao can untie the knot, Li Xingzhi will still make him the president's army, if not, then he has to reconsider the commander of the Southern Expedition.

"The last general understands that the last general was just a little confused about Brother Chen's affairs before, and Brother Xing can put his heart into his brother's heart, and I, Yang Biao, are naturally the same as before."

After appeasing Yang Biao, Li Xingzhi immediately turned back to Penglai with Zhang Wubu of the fifth town in the name of King Yan, and went to Phi Island via Dengzhou, and ordered the sixth town of Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming's new sixth town, Wang Fuchen's cavalry town, Anba's second cavalry town, Alan Chai's cavalry third town, and Wang Chengzhu's artillery town to immediately return to the Beijing division, and at the same time, Feishu stationed in Shanhaiguan's new town and new fourth town ten rectification of military horses to wait for the Northern Expedition army.

In addition, the new seven towns of Qin Ying, the governor of Xuanda, the eighth town of Lang Shaozhen, the governor of Jizhen, and the new eight towns of Li Dingguo and Bai Guangen, which were garrisoned by Ningyuan, should also be prepared to go on the expedition.

That is to say, in this Northern Expedition, the Jingbei Army transferred a total of 11 towns, plus the third town, the new third town and the new fifth town stationed in Shenyang, the total strength will reach a terrifying 150,000 army.

"Your Royal Highness, since the victory of Heluo, all the departments of our Jingbei Army have been supplemented, only the three towns of Shenyang still maintain the original structure, and these three towns, the subordinates have also added 18,000 military horses for them, this military horse, is it temporarily directly under the palace, or?"

Gu Junen, who was in charge of rectifying the military horses, thought about it, but reported to Li Xingzhi about the lack of military commanders in the third town, the new third town, and the new fifth town.

"This doesn't matter, you pass on to the Shandong general Liu Zeqing, the deputy general of Shanxi Xu Dingguo and Huang Degong who is idle in Beijing, and after Liu Liangzuo returns to Shun, let them command this army and horses to be the front of the army, counting Liu Liangzuo and Xu Dingguo's headquarters, there should be about 40,000 people, after returning to Beijing, he will ask His Majesty for an order, and add the left capital Yushi Sun Zhiqi as the Jiliao Governor, the governor of the front army."

In history, in the four towns of Jiangbei, except for the martyred Gao Jie and Huang Degong, almost all the rest of the military horses were absorbed by the Dongyu and became the vanguard of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty to the south.

As a descendant of the Han family, he suggested to the puppet Qing regent Dolgon to shave his hair and make it easy to wear, so that everyone in my Han family was left, and he was really unvirtuous to the extreme.

In this life, all of these traitor lackeys have been incorporated by the Jingbei Army except for Liu Liangzuo, who is stationed in Anqing, and letting them become the forerunners of the Jingbei Army can be regarded as a report and a report.

"Your Highness, my subordinates heard that Liu Liangzuo had a meritorious service to the puppet dynasty of the southern capital, how could he give up his glory and wealth and surrender to us."

Gu Junen was a little confused, he was also a delicate person, of course he knew that the establishment of a separate court in the southern capital had an extremely inappropriate influence on the legitimacy of the rule of the Yongli court, Liu Liangzuo, as the Dongping Bo of the Southern Imperial Court, looked at the meaning of King Yan, it was like meat on a plate, and he actually wanted him to fight the eastern captives for the Jingbei army.

"Mr. Gu rest assured, Gu said that Liu Liangzuo will fall, then it will not be wrong, you go to the governor of Shandong Qian Tianxi, and ask him to raise 200 Hongyi cannons, 20,000 sets of cotton armor, 20,000 sets of lined plate armor, 10,000 large and small firearms, 50,000 catties of medicine, and 3 million silver coins as the military expenses of each army."

Gu Zhi: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”

Although Gu Junen was puzzled, Li Xingzhi's words were conclusive, and he didn't want to ask again, so he immediately received a military order and left the house.

On the third day of the first month of May, the materials raised by Zhangjiakou finally arrived at the camp in Kaifeng, and Wang Zhong, the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, took the oath in Kaifeng and requisitioned 25,000 people, and on May 6, he went to the inner countryside to attack in the direction of Shaanxi.

On May 18, the Western Expeditionary Corps arrived at Cijian, and Wang Zhong ordered Liu Guoneng to lead the new second town general Liu Guoneng to lead the town, the four independent towns, the five independent towns, and the first part of the artillery town to attack in the direction of Wuguan through Lantian, while he led the brigade to take the Yanshi and Luoning to attack Tongguan.

At the same time, under the command of Yang Biao, the army of Zhengnan was also divided into two routes, one was to march to Hefei along the Huai River under the command of Gao Jie and the six independent towns, and the other was to go to Nanyang and Benwuchang, intending to converge with the Mahuihui Department stationed in Xiangyang to control the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

"The Jingbei army made a big move, and Li Wei appointed Wang Zhong, the governor of the Central Plains, to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to the south and west to take Tongguan and Wuguan, and its military horses were overwhelming, and the banners and weapons were dazzling for a while, and the food, bows, knives, and guns carried were countless, holding high the banner of the imperial court, and following the emperor's holy decree, to crusade against the ministers, and its intention was to capture Shaanxi and unify the Central Plains."

"Where did Li Yi raise the money and grain?"

After repeatedly asking the scouts for confirmation, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the Chongzhen Dynasty in Shaanxi, was finally convinced that the Jingbei Army had launched an offensive against Shaanxi, which was nearly three months earlier than he expected.

"Sun Buyuan, according to reliable information, the money and grain for Li Rebellion's advance this time were confiscated from the Zhangjiakou Jin Shang Group, and the rebel army's advance this time not only attacked our Shaanxi, but also more than 100,000 troops have already gone south and went to the south."

Zhu Shouqian, the soldier of Xi'an, replied cautiously, because the Shanxi flood road was blocked, he had just received the news today.

"Sun Minyuan, Huguang Governor Song Yiniao has clearly replied to his subordinates, the Yongli Imperial Court has the edict of the Son of Heaven, and he should be orthodox in the world, he has been ordered by Li Cheng to build a warship in Wuchang, prepare to build a Yangtze River Naval Division, and persuade me to wait...... Feng Zhao, as for Chuanfu Shao Jiechun's attitude, his attitude is more ambiguous, and his subordinates think that we should fight for it. ”

Zheng Datong, the prefect of Xi'an, also brought information about Huguang, although Sun Chuanting was not optimistic that Huguang and Sichuan would support him, but he still sent a message to Sichuan and Huguang under the urgency of going to the doctor.

"No need, Sichuan, Huguang, Shanxi and the news of the rebel army's march into Shaanxi arrived almost at the same time, which clearly shows that they have reached an agreement, let's enter Sichuan, the situation in Sichuan is complicated, it is tantamount to throwing yourself into the net, you quickly pass on the warrant, He Renlong sticks to the Wuguan, the rebel army hundreds of thousands of troops and horses are mobilized, and the supply is not the money and grain captured from Zhangjiakou can be satisfied, as long as we work together, we may not be able to repel them."

Sun Chuanting had no choice but to continue to hold on, in a vain attempt to resist the offensive of the official army with the natural dangers of Tongguan and Wuguan.
