The position of the Chinese army has two meanings in the army of the Ming Dynasty, one of which refers to the official position in the army, which is similar to the adjutant chief in the modern and modern armies, and sometimes is also in charge ......of transmitting and announcing military orders, drawing up battle plans and so on; Another meaning of the Chinese army refers to the number of the army, which corresponds to the left army, the right army, the front army, and the rear army.

Therefore, Li Zicheng's various military deployments, Gao Jie is a clear man, and even some details of famous people in the army, Gao Jie is well aware, he is even Li Chixin's predecessor - Li Guo, the two of them are so good that they are too fat to wear a pair of pants, they are similar in smell, and they can almost entrust their wives and children; So three months later, Gao Jie returned from the expedition with Li Zicheng's army, and in less than six months, his wife and concubine gave birth to two sons of less than a month old. Gao Jie hated it, he hated the backwardness of the scientific level at that time, and Li Guo was glad that there was no gene addition technology in this era......

In the years since Gao Yingxiang was captured by Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting's officials and troops, sent to Beijing to offer prisoners, and was executed by Emperor Chongzhen Ling Chi, the leaders and generals of Gao Yingxiang's righteous army, as well as many idle people, could not withstand the pursuit of the officials and troops, and fled or surrendered one after another.

Just when the dragons were leaderless, Li Zicheng suddenly rose to prominence, and he was led by the "old eight team", under the promotion of his own nephew 'a tiger' Li Guo, unanimously elected him to become the new king. After Li Zicheng became the new king, although he made great efforts, Li Zicheng's prestige at that time still could not stop the desperate peasant army from constantly dividing and surrendering.

In October last year, the regrouped rebel army was ambushed by the Ming Dynasty official Lu Xiangsheng and led to a rout, while Li Zicheng led a part of the scattered rebel army all the way from Shaanxi to northern Sichuan. Although the army led by Li Zicheng lost in the next battle of attacking Chengdu, it gave a great shock to the executives in the Ming Dynasty; with their outstanding achievements, Li Zicheng and his old eighth team were able to initially gain a firm foothold in the intertwined forces.

Among the troops that originally rebelled in Shaanxi, except for Zhang Xianzhong, Cao Cao, Hui Dengxiang, and Wang Guangen were appeased and surrendered in the areas of Junzhou and Fangxian; Liu Guoneng surrendered at the junction of Henan and Huguang and was the kind that wholeheartedly contributed to the imperial court; Li Wanqing was appeased in the inner countryside, and this guy even turned his hand back to attack and kill the rebels.

The rest, such as He Yilong, the "Ge Li Eye" in Yinghuo Mountain, the so-called Ge and Zuo Fourth Battalions, and Ma Shouying, the "Lao Hui Hui" wandering in southern Henan, are also said to be stepping on two boats, and there are constantly officials of the imperial court going to say surrender, so they are all standing still, and among the 13 old bandits, except for those who have been wiped out, only the family of Gao Yingxiang's old eighth team inherited by Li Zicheng is now the one who does not surrender.

At the end of last year, Li Zicheng, in order to avoid being surrounded by the superior official army led by Hong Chengchou, suddenly withdrew from northern Sichuan to the southeast of Longdong, and then turned north to Taozhou, avoiding the "four corners, six positives, and ten sides of the net" proposed by Yang Sichang, the first assistant. On the one hand, he sent Cao Bianjiao and Wu Sangui, He Renlong and other soldiers and horses to bite the scattered rebel army, and on the other hand, he mobilized most of the officers and troops of the four provinces to intercept the invading army.

In the two months at the end of the year, the old Eighth Brigade led by Li Zicheng, in order to break the encirclement and interception of the official army, went all the way out of Sichuan into Gansu and then entered Xifandi, which is now the eastern region of Qinghai, wandering in the area where the Qiang nomads were active, and looking for fighters. However, the invading army lacked food and clothing, not only people, but also the war horses on which they rode could not rest, and the old eighth team in Xifandi not only could not get supplies, but even the casualties were increasing.

is this dog's cowardice, Li Zicheng's old eighth team still can't get rid of the desperate pursuit of Cao Bianjiao, Wu Sangui, He Renlong and others.

Li Zicheng had no choice but to lead his army north out of the Great Wall from the east of Jiayu Pass and ran straight to the outside of the fortress. Taking advantage of Hong Chengchou's brief confusion, they suddenly turned back from the vicinity of Lanzhou, broke through the interception of the officers and troops in the Taozhou area, and returned to the mountainous area in the southeast of Longxi to break into pieces and rest their troops.

Just when the army was wandering in the west, that is, when the army was at its most difficult, the 'Great Heavenly King' Gao Jie completely lost confidence in the fate and future of the old eighth team of the camp; A tiger 'Li Guo got acquainted with Gao Jie, so they also trusted Gao Jie, the secretary of the king, and they also entrusted their wives and children to Li Guo before the expedition, but now these people surrendered with Gao Jie Cao Bianjiao, Wu Sangui, He Renlong's chasing army.

At present, the traitor Gao Jie, the "Great Heavenly King", is the vanguard officer of the He Renlong Department in the chasing army, and within a month after he led the people to surrender to the official army, this thick-eyed and big-eyed traitor ———— the former confidential secretary of Li Zicheng, the commander of the army, and he was desperate for the tiger, helping Hong Chengchou to do all the bad things that poked the hearts of the peasant army.

In the two months when the situation was getting worse day by day, whenever he encountered a battle between the camp and the official army, Gao Jie would appear, and he would ride on a horse and shout for surrender, in an attempt to break the morale of Li Zicheng's old Eighth Team; Li Zicheng and the generals of the Old Eighth Team hated this traitor and often wanted to catch him on the battlefield. However, Gao Jie is more cunning than a fox, and several times he was about to catch him, and then he escaped again; sometimes he would deliberately show a flaw, making people feel that there was an opportunity, but he was led into an ambush circle by Gao Jie, and Li Zicheng and the other peasant army suffered a lot for this.

The peasant army, which had fought together together, had a lot of prejudices against Li Zicheng and the camp he led because of the appearance of Gao Jie, and even more scorned Li Zicheng's nephew 'a tiger'.

To this end, Li Zicheng and the generals of the old eighth team tried their best, they designed one trap after another, forcing the brain cells of several casseroles to kill, wanting to kill this most threatening scourge by surprise.
