Li Zicheng, Li Guo's uncles and nephews, and the soldiers who broke into the camp simply hated the traitor "Great Heavenly King", and often tried to catch him on the battlefield, but Li Zicheng knew their tactics Gao Jie, and even he was more familiar with his tactics than Li Zicheng, and Gao Jie was more introverted than a fox, and Gao Jie escaped several times when he was about to be caught.

Due to an unexpected coincidence in the afternoon, Li Guo's forward Tiger Camp sentinel captured one of Gao Jie's personal soldiers. After interrogation, it was learned that Gao Jie would go to an unknown mountain col to worship his ancestors at dusk on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, taking advantage of the cover of nightfall, and according to the customs of the Shaanxi people, worshipping ancestors is the top priority of the year, and there can be no sloppiness in the slightest , Li Zicheng is confident that he will be able to catch Gao Jie this time.

The generals chose Li Shuangxi because he was Li Zicheng's righteous son, and Gao Jie had been taking care of him in the old camp, and he was most familiar with the habits and temperament of Gao Jie, the "Great Heavenly King"; Even a few days ago, Gao Jie sent a letter of earnest persuasion, persuading his brothers who had shared hardships to abandon the darkness and join him in the glory and wealth.

In the early morning of the seventeenth day of the first month of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, the morning sun that climbed up to the air was the same as the people who had worked hard for a year, lazily stretching their waists, and reluctantly climbed up from the east side of the mountain.

Originally, every one, three, five, and seventh was the day of the court meeting, especially because only the seventeenth day of the first month of the first month was the first day of the official work of the Ming court, and it happened to be the day of the court meeting, so early in the morning, the generals and officers of the military camp also had to gather in the camp of the chief general to have a morning meeting; as soon as the officers left, the non-commissioned officers were even more relaxed, and at this moment, only the men and men were busy in the camp tents of the officers and soldiers to start the day's preparations.

Gao Jie, as Li Zicheng's confidential secretary, is a meticulous person. Three days ago, among the scouts sent by the Wu Sangui camp of the official army, there was a cronie of Gao Jie, but a few days passed, a team of officers and soldiers sentry detectives, so many big living people did not even come back, although in a war, there are often sentry teams that go out for a long time and do not return to the camp, but that is because these food and soldiers, either fleeing into the mountains with weapons and becoming robbers, or being wiped out by the hostile invasion army.

However, this situation suddenly made the cautious Gao Jie suddenly feel some inexplicable panic and uneasiness in his heart. So the cunning "Great Heavenly King" Gao Jie sent people to investigate, and it was a coincidence that the people sent out happened to catch an officer and army sentry who was killed by the army and did not dare to return to the camp, and under Gao Jie's questioning, he learned that his cronies were unfortunately seriously injured in the encounter with the army sentry and fell off the horse, and he still does not know whether he is alive or dead.

This can make the always suspicious 'Great Heavenly King' Gao Jie more clear about the uneasiness in his heart, he immediately set out to take strict precautions, and offered a plan to Cao Bianjiao, Wu Sangui, He Renlong and others, and he even stated that he was willing to use himself as bait, and still went to the mountains to worship his ancestors with a small number of relatives, while the officers and soldiers of the brigade did the opposite......

The sun on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, with the wishes of the people of Funiu Mountain, is about to set, and the warm winter sun of the whole day finally drives away some of the chill for the people here. In the camp of the main general Cao Bianjiao and several large villages near the official army, curling smoke also began to rise, and the unique aroma of food penetrated people's hearts and spleens from afar.

The old people in the village around Funiu Mountain couldn't help but smack their lips, and said to the only surviving children and grandchildren under their knees: "If your baby has a big life, you can eat a mouthful of dry food, and you may be able to see the next year!", in their opinion, the eleventh year of Chongzhen is the year of the heavenly killing star, and in the famine of Funiu Mountain, there have been many old people and children who have died of hunger, poverty and disease.

According to the advance plan, Gao Mingxing only brought more than 20 personal soldiers, carrying incense, candles, paper horses and other sacrifices on horseback, and the group dressed in disguise, wearing a burqa and lining armor, and quietly went out of the camp gate.

The two dozen or so followers who followed Gao Jie along the way were all cautious on horseback. When passing by a mountain pass, Gao Jie noticed that the officials and troops who had vaguely agreed were lying in ambush on both sides of the mountain pass, so he let go of his hanging heart and pretended to lead the people into the valley as if nothing happened.

Gao Jie believes in his own courage and martial arts, and he also believes in the one-in-a-hundred white dragon horse under his crotch, which is a magic weapon that the three Ming army generals jointly gave him to save his life. They walked all the way through the mountains and streams into a small valley surrounded by mountains, and he arranged for everyone to wait not far away, and he only brought a personal soldier and a small earthen bag on the reins.

Seeing Gao Jie stationed on the small earthen bag, watching his own soldiers line up with incense, candles, and paper horses, the twenty carefully selected cavalry did not dare to slack off, they rode on horses, lined up less than a hundred steps away from Gao Jie, the bow was wound, and the knife was unsheathed, as if facing a great enemy.

Gao Jie didn't need to look back, he knew that there were still fifty cavalry and two hundred infantry, lying in ambush in the mountain col and grove less than half a mile away, and the other three hundred infantry were lying in ambush on both sides of the valley, just waiting for a gong to sound, these people would jump out of the forest mang, cut off the retreat of those enemies who dared to sneak attack him, and he even hoped that it was best to capture the enemy generals who attacked him alive this time, so that he could make contributions to the imperial court, and he could also participate in the morning meeting held by the main general like these senior generals.

Gao Jie and the others didn't notice when they quietly left the camp, and not long after he led people out of the camp, the army who was secretly ambushed passed the news that he had left the camp to Li Guo and Li Shuangxi. And Li Guo and the Shuangxi brothers have done a good job in the division of labor in accordance with the plan of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang.

Under the repeated pleas of his righteous brother Li Shuangxi, Chairman Li Chixin, who had just recovered from the arrow, left the arduous and glorious task of directly raiding the 'Great Heavenly King' Gao Jie to his righteous brother Shuangxi, and he was willing to be an inconspicuous green leaf, quietly ambushed outside, and received the righteous brother at any time.
