Zhu Yousong returned to Fu Palace and felt very moved when he saw the former palace.

The former Fu Duan was the richest vassal of the Ming Dynasty. The vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal treasury was richer than the Ming Dynasty treasury. In order to make up for the regrets in his heart, the old Fu Du Duan was also built with a magnificent construction of the Fu Du Palace.

Nowadays, the precious porcelains, furniture, and gold and silver foil inlaid and wrapped on the pillars of the hall have been stripped away, which is not as brilliant as before, but it is many times stronger than Zhu Yousong's residence in Kaifeng.

Zhu Yousong was still very happy when he was able to return to the Fu Palace. When he learned that Gao Huan had prepared more than a dozen beautiful women for him, he even said that he was the old Fu King, and Gao Chaoyang, who knew others, was the one who understood Gao Chaoyang.

This level of business has surpassed many jesters and powerful traitors.

The palace and the beauty made Zhu Yousong seem to have regained his days back, but the people of Luoyang did not welcome him to return to the vassal state, which made Zhu Yousong very frightened.

Fortunately, with Gao Huan's protection, he hid in the palace to enjoy himself, and the people could not do anything to him, so he felt at ease.

Gao Huan ordered his confidant to guard the Fu Palace, and ordered Li Wu to allocate Zhu Yousong a sum of money, food, wine and meat, and keep him in the palace. Then he began to continue urging the armour workshop to speed up the production of equipment that could deal with the Qing army.

In the armoured workshops in Dengfeng, Yanshi, Xuzhou, Luoyang and other places, they fully produce bird guns, Lumi guns, turtledove guns, hawk beak guns, Folang machine guns, tiger cannons, general cannons, axes, maces, armor and other military resources.

In addition, Gao Huan also organized thousands of carpenters to cut down trees in Funiu Mountain to create chariots.

Gao Huan's idea is to create weapons that can break armor and improve his own defense.

While the military government was actively preparing for the war, the counties in eastern Henan began to harvest crops such as millet, beans, and plant winter wheat.

At this time, on the eastern plain of Henan, teams of people were carrying millet and throwing beans in the grain drying ground. Immediately, someone came forward and waved the hangings, hitting millet and beans.

Among the fields, on the harvested land, the people wearing straw hats are busy sowing wheat before winter comes.

Nanyang, Ruzhou junction, Luyang Pass.

After being collected by Gao Huan in Luoyang and Ruzhou, Li Guo from Nanyang stopped attacking Luyang Pass.

At this time, some of the rebels returned to the Nanyang Basin to collect autumn grains, while some continued to garrison outside Luyang Pass to fight against the autonomous army.

October 1642.

Accompanied by Wang Jingde, Gao Huan stood outside Luyang on the watershed.

At this time, the entire watershed was almost cut into bare hills by the Autonomous Army. The Autonomous Army erected a wooden fence around the mountain, and stone walls were built on the top of the mountain and equipped with artillery.

"Supervisor!" Wang Jingde pointed to Danxia Mountain to the west and introduced: "Luyang Pass, the east is the watershed at our feet, and the west is Danxia Mountain. To attack Luyang Pass, the rebel army needs to pass through the road between the two mountains. Now, in the watershed, Danxia Mountain each stations a battalion of troops, sets up a village around the mountains, and equips the three artillery gates on the top of the mountain to control the middle road, and form the first line of defense with Luyang Pass."

Gao Huan nodded slightly, "Danxia Mountain, watershed, Luyang Pass has a reversed character "Pin" and stands with each other. Cannons can be used to respond. If Li Zicheng wants to break through, he will inevitably suffer heavy losses."

Wang Jingdedao: "In addition to the first line of defense, his subordinates also ordered people to build an earthen wall about ten miles long in the Shahe River behind Luyang Pass to serve as the second line of defense."

"Jingde is worthy of being the best general under our command!" Gao Huan observed the defense line of Luyang Pass, and after listening to Wang Jingde's description, he couldn't help but praise him.

In the Battle of Fuluo, Gao Huan seized Luoyang and Ruzhou from Li Zicheng, defeated him 300,000 troops, and captured nearly 200,000 people. The bond with Li Zicheng became deeper and deeper.

Seeing that winter was about to begin, Gao Huan was worried that Li Zicheng would seek revenge when he fought with the Qing army.

Thinking of this, Gao Huan couldn't help but ask: "How is Li Baiwan's recent development in Huguang?"

Wang Jingde said in a deep voice: "It is said that I encountered some trouble in Xunyang before. It is said that I had beaten several times but I didn't knock down Yunyang."

Gao Huan touched E, "Who is the garrison of Yunyang?"

"Wang Guangen, Wang Guangtai, and Wang Chang's three brothers. Wang Guangen used to follow Zhang Xianzhong and named Huaguansuo. He was a cruel man." Wang Jingde smiled and said, "They are all surnamed Wang, so they are considered my own family."

"So it was them!" Gao Huan remembered that Wang Guangtai, one of the three brothers, was later one of the Thirteen families in Kuidong.

"Have the Governor heard of them?" Wang Jingde asked.

"I just heard someone mention it, not very familiar with it." Gao Huan shook his head and changed the topic: "Well, Li Zicheng is still fighting Xunyang?"

Wang Jingde said: "Xunyang is too poor. Li Zicheng fought twice but failed. He probably calmed down, so he withdrew from Xunyang to Xiangyang. Now, he is secretly competing with Zhang Xianzhong, preparing to compete for Wuchang and Jingzhou."

After hearing this, Gao Huan felt a little relieved. According to the historical trend, Zhang Xianzhong went to Wuchang next year and seized Jingzhou. Li Zicheng forced Zhang Xianzhong into Sichuan after establishing the system in Xiangyang, while he and Zuo Liangyu occupied Jingzhou and Wuchang. He went north to fight Sun Chuanting in the second half of the year.

If Li Zicheng followed this direction, he would have to stay in Huguang for more than half a year. Gao Huan didn't have to worry about Li Zicheng's threat for the time being. However, after seeing the Magino created by Wang Jingde, Gao Huan had a little confidence in his heart. It was Li Zicheng who took revenge and returned north early, and he was not afraid.

It has been half a year since Sun Chuanting arrived in Guanzhong. If Li Zicheng goes north, Gao Huan can put pressure on Chongzhen and force Sun Chuanting to send troops.

At this time, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky without warning.

Gao Huan couldn't help but look up at the sky. The dark clouds were covered with dark clouds. In an instant, the rain mixed with snow fell and hit her face directly.

Seeing this, Gao Huan couldn't help but reach out, catch the fallen Xuezi, and murmured: "The sky has changed. A fierce battle is coming!"

"Governor, go back!" Wang Jingde saw that the rain and snow were shooting down like thin lines in the dark clouds in the sky, and hurriedly urged.

Gao Huan nodded, "Jingde! Luyang Pass defense line, I will leave it to you!"

"Don't worry, the governor! As long as the subordinates and the soldiers of the Left Army are still there, Li Zicheng will definitely not break into the Central Plains." Wang Jingde held his fists solemnly.

Gao Huan nodded with satisfaction, then stepped on the mud, went down the watershed, turned over and returned to Luyang Pass.

Shortly after entering the pass, Gao Huan changed his clothes, put on a straw raincoat, and hat, and led his subordinates back north.

Everyone ran all the way. When they entered Longmen Pass, the entire wilderness in the southern suburbs of Luoyang was already covered with thin snow.

At this time, Gao Huan returned to Luoyang, and at this moment, a team of cavalry galloped from Kaifeng and rushed towards Luoyang.
