In the face of the huge military pressure of the Qing army, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong smiled at the enmity, gave up the previous grievances, determined to resist the Qing Dynasty, and made an oath that before the Qing army was defeated, the Dashun army and the Daxi army must not clash, and deliberately provoked the hostile confrontation between the two armies.

Zhang Xianzhong's troops in Henan suffered heavy losses and could not complete Sun Kewang's strategy, Zhang Xianzhong decisively ordered the abandonment of Henan Province, so that Li Dingguo's troops returned to Nanyang Province, and the Dashun army also made a peaceful gesture and withdrew tens of thousands of troops on the border line of Yunyang Province.

The Dashun Army and the Daxi Army seem to have returned to the years when they fought side by side with the Ming Army, the two armies realized intelligence sharing, and the two armies got the same information, but the Dashun Army did not know much about the Ming Army in Jiangnan, and Zhang Xianzhong gave him a lot of information about the Ming Army in Sichuan, Guizhou, Jiangxi and other places.

Li Zicheng was also surprised that the Ming army still had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the south of the Yangtze River, and he gave up the strategy of attacking the Ming army in the south because he could not defeat the Qing army in the north of the Yangtze River.

And the first to do a good job, because Liu Zongmin, Tian Jianxiu's commander's front battalion suffered heavy losses, and was still being rebuilt, Li Zicheng ordered Li Guo, Yuan Zongdi led an army of 90,000 to support the Chongzhen court, and the other troops and horses were in reserve to support the front line at any time.

Zhang Xianzhong ordered Liu Wenxiu to lead 150,000 horse infantry archers to reinforce Henan, and made it clear that the military commander of Henan was Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang was the commander-in-chief and logistics, and Liu Wenxiu was the vanguard, breaking the Qing army's attempt to occupy the entire territory of Henan.

Li Dingguo did not have many troops and horses in Henan Mansion, and with the support of Liu Wenxiu, he reinvigorated the military prestige and led the troops back to Nanyang Mansion, if the Qing army did not withdraw, the entire Qing army in Nanyang Mansion would be completely annihilated.

The Great Western Army returned to Nanyang Mansion, Fang Xiaoyan and Xu Yun also arrived in Nanyang Mansion, because the Great Western Army and the Lingbu Ming Army fought side by side in Taiyuan Mansion, Fang Xiaoyan came to the territory of the Great Western Army, and was not embarrassed, and successfully met with Li Dingguo and other generals of the Great Western Army.

Li Dingguo was the military commander, and Sun Kewang was in charge of the foreign strategy of the Great Western Army, Sun Kewang tried to fight with the Qing army in front of Ling Jingyang and the Dashun army, but Nanyang Mansion was defeated by the Qing army twice, so that Sun Kewang also realized that it was possible to defeat the Qing army only if he united with the Ming army.

"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"

Sun Kewang ceremoniously received Fang Xiaoyan, which made Fang Xiaoyan a little flattered, he thought that the Great Western Army was also a group of mud legs

son, but now it seems that the strength of the Great Western Army is stronger than that of the Ming Dynasty.

He and Sun Kewang expressed their intentions, and Ling Jingyang invited the Great Western Army to attack Runing Mansion and wipe out the Qing army in Henan.

Sun Kewang readily agreed to Fang Xiaoyan and asked Fang Xiaoyan to go back and tell Ling Jingyang that the Great Western Army sent troops to Runing Mansion in early February, and at that time, Ling Jingyang's troops attacked the Qing army from Kaifeng Mansion to the south, and the Great Western Army attacked the Qing army in Nanyang Mansion, striving to annihilate the Qing army in Runing Mansion at the end of February.

Fang Xiaoyan got Sun Kewang's attitude of sending troops in Nanyang Mansion, and immediately took Xu Yun back to Kaifeng Mansion, but he had not returned to Kaifeng Mansion yet, and Ling Jingyang decided to strike first.

Ling Jingyang suddenly launched an attack because he also learned that the Qing army was about to attack on a large scale, and this information was sent to him by Li Guo from Ningwuguan, but the Chongzhen court pretended to be deaf and dumb, not only did not tell Ling Jingyang this information, but also ordered that no one else should contact Ling Jingyang.

Fortunately, Ximen Zhu had a certain status in the Chongzhen court, and he asked the soldiers of the special bureau in the palace to go out of the city and go to the Henan region to tell Ling Jingyang the news of the Qing army's attack.

Ximen Zhuqian instructed Wan to let the two of them arrive in Henan safely, and the two soldiers of the Special Bureau were tied up by a group of brocade guards as soon as they left the city.

Jin Yiwei took the two to the outskirts of the city, and the two shouted that they recognized the wrong person, they were from Ximen Takeshita, the head of the household, and went to buy some game outside the city to give to Master Li Jiantai, but don't wash the Dragon King Temple in the water.

No matter how the two shouted, Jinyiwei was indifferent, and after the two shouted tired, Bai Dun came to the two soldiers of the Special Bureau, and said with a smile: "Two, but go to listen to Jingyang?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for the two to refute, they raised their hands with two knives, and the heads of the two special bureau soldiers fell to the ground, Bai Dun killed people, buried the corpses on the spot, and then left with Jinyiwei.

Bai Dun is so arrogant and domineering, it is because he is authorized by His Majesty, Zhu Youzhen has long thought that Ximen Zhu and Ling Jingyang are still connected, he does not kill Ximen Zhu, it is to retain the channel of dialogue with Ling Jingyang.

But he will never allow Ximen Zhu to become big in the imperial court, and he will not let Ximen Zhu send out the information about Ling Jingyang that he doesn't want to send, he ordered Jinyiwei to secretly ambush in Ximen Zhu's mansion, as long as it is from Ximenzhu's mansion

The men went out of the city and killed them all.

The two soldiers of the Special Bureau died in this way, Bai Dun returned to the palace and reported the matter to Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youzhen was very happy, and rewarded Bai Dun with five hundred taels of silver, Bai Dun smiled and took the reward and left the palace.

And Zhu Youzhen was still indignant in his heart, he hated Ling Jingyang for leading the army south to Henan, because Ling Jingyang's army suddenly withdrew from the front-line team of the anti-Qing Dynasty, causing panic in the Chongzhen court.

Everyone thought that Ling Jingyang was a fierce general who swore to resist the invasion of the Qing army, and it was impossible to escape the attack of the Qing army.

didn't expect that Ling Jingyang would passively avoid the battle, and also led the troops south to Huguang, and Ling Jingyang's troops and horses withdrew, and the Chongzhen court would face the Qing army attack alone.

Zhu Youzhen ordered to sever any contact with Ling Jingyang, making Ling Jingyang deaf and blind, although this would make Ling Jingyang's troops be raided by the Qing army, and it was likely to be wiped out by the Qing army.

But Zhu Youzhen was very happy in his heart, there are so many soldiers and horses in the world, Ling Jingyang's soldiers and horses are a fart?

In the entire Jiangbei anti-Qing Dynasty, only the Chongzhen court listened to Jingyang in the pit, Ling Jingyang didn't care, he convened the generals to arrange a military meeting to raid Runing Mansion on the day of the Lantern Festival.

In fact, everyone is not very supportive of Ling Jingyang, the Great Western Army has not yet launched an attack from Nanyang Mansion, and it is difficult to defeat tens of thousands of Qing troops in Runing Mansion by relying only on a single soldier and horse of the Ming Army.

But Ling Jingyang does not believe in evil, in his opinion, the main force of the Qing army is in Beizhili, and the strength of the Qing army in Runing Mansion is not strong, and he was still fighting with the Great Western Army in Nanyang Mansion before, and he also lost a lot of soldiers and horses, even if he absorbs some of the troops, it is impossible to completely restore his strength.

At the meeting, Ling Jingyangci once again proposed to defeat the Qing army in Runing Prefecture, and the whole army continued to move south, no longer caring about the war in Jiangbei.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was a little uncomfortable, many people seemed to be fleeing from the battle, Ling Jingyang understood the mood of his subordinates, and said: "Everyone, the Qing army is about to attack Henan and Shanxi on a large scale, our soldiers and horses are not enough for the Qing army to plug the teeth, only to avoid the enemy's edge, there is a glimmer of life." ”

Chen Yidao and other generals didn't know that the Qing army's million-strong army was heading south, and Ling Jingyang said: "Governor, how many people can Jiannu, can't we be afraid of him?" ”
