The military and civilians in Kaifeng City did not expect the Qing army to withdraw suddenly.

After learning that Gao Huan led his army to advance towards Kaifeng, Gao Mingheng reacted and Abatai was defeated.

After thinking about it carefully, he understood why the Qing army returned in two days, and each time it was ten thousand.

This is very likely that Abatai used a trick [Youyou Reading www.uutxt.co] and "Dong Zhuo Enters the City" to deceive him and the Kaifeng defenders.

The so-called "Dong Zhuo enters the city" means that when Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, he did not have many troops. In order to shock the officials of Luoyang, he ordered his Xiliang army to enter the city from the west gate, leave the city from the east gate, circle around the city, and enter the city again from the west gate.

This cycle made Luoyang officials and civilians mistakenly think that Dong Zhuo has a lot of troops, which made people afraid of Dong Zhuo.

Abatai was defeated in Xingyang, losing nearly 10,000 troops in total and lost his artillery team. Henan could not stay there, and Kaifeng could not continue to attack, so he had to withdraw from Henan.

However, withdrawing troops is not an easy task, especially in the Kaifeng camp, there are many treasures stolen by the Qing army.

There are many things that have evolved from retreat to defeat in history, which forced Abatai to come up with this plan.

In order to prevent being attacked by the defenders in the city during retreat, Abatai led his army into the camp the day before, and asked the army out of the camp at night, and reentered the camp the next day, causing 20,000 troops. The illusion of returning from Desheng in Xingyang scared the defenders in the city.

The defenders in the city mistakenly thought that Gao Huan was defeated and feared the power of the Qing army, so they did not dare to leave the city. Abatai could retreat calmly.

Of course, even if the defenders in the city knew that Gao Huan won, the Qing army still had 20,000 cavalry, and the defenders might not dare to leave the city.

Gao Mingheng told everyone his inference, which shocked the King of Zhou and others. He couldn't believe that Gao Huan actually defeated the Qing army.

Now they don’t know how Gao Huan won, nor do they know how much the Qing army lost, but it is the truth that the Qing army withdraws troops.

The news spread throughout the city, which made Kaifeng soldiers and civilians cry with joy. Many gentry were happy for a while and then shed tears of regret.

In despair, they were crazily destroying things they usually regarded as treasures to prevent them from falling into the hands of the Qing army.

Now that the Qing army has left, the things have been smashed and burned, and they have all regretted it.

However, no matter what, things can't compare to the lives of the whole family. Now that life is saved and the money is still there, everyone's hearts are generally joyful after the disaster.

At this time, he heard from the scout that Gao Huan's army had passed Zhongmu and was about to arrive in Luoyang. The King of Zhou and a group of Kaifeng gentry left the city in tears to welcome Gao Huan's army, hoping to witness the style of the soldiers in Dengxu Town who could defeat the Qing army.

"Here you! Come!" The tall man in the crowd saw the people coming from afar and shouted loudly.

King Zhu Gongyi of Zhou looked in the voice, and he saw a soldier appearing in the distance. He quickly turned his head and ordered, "Play music and prepare wine!"

A group of musicians in the royal palace played a sing of triumphant songs, and the eunuchs began to warm up the wine.

The gentry and the people stretched their necks to look around, trying to witness General Gao's style.

Soon, a large army appeared in front of us, without distinctive armor or rushing military flags, only half a roll of broken flags, and soldiers wearing various ragged clothes and jackets, bandages tied on their heads and arms hanging.

For a moment, Zhu Gongye, Chen Yongfu, and the gentry and people in Luoyang were stunned, and then they burst into tears and burst into tears.

Many people complained about why Gao Huan didn't come early, causing him to smash all Jingtai porcelain at home and burn out of print Jin Ping Mei Fu Shen felt deeply guilty in his heart and secretly scolded himself for being inhumane.

When the King of Zhou and the rich gentry saw that many soldiers were wearing thin clothes, not even cotton pants, and were wearing straw sandals on their feet, they burst into tears.

They originally thought that the one who defeated the Qing army must be a well-equipped official army, but they could not help but be shocked when they saw the appearance of the autonomous army.

How did such a beggar-like army defeat the Qing army? How many casualties and costs did they have to pay?

The hardships and difficulties in this are not easy, and everyone can't bear to imagine.

Kaifeng was surrounded, and Hou Xun stationed his troops and did not advance. No one came to save them. Only Gao Huan, only Dengxu Town, and only Gao's army.

Such affection was not moved after witnessing the embarrassing appearance of the Gao family army.

General Gao clearly had such a difficult time, but he still came to save them without hesitation regardless of casualties and difficulties.

For a moment, everyone's eyes were filled with tears.

"Donate money, you must donate money!" Everyone shouted in their hearts, "The soldiers must be well fed and well-dressed!"

At this time, Gao Huan rode a big black donkey and left the team, leading a group of cold-clad and wounded generals to the outside of the pavilion.

King Zhu Gongyi of Zhou hurriedly led everyone to greet him, looked at Gao Huan's clothes, and his heart was so distressed that he felt sad that he could not help but cry.

Unexpectedly, Gao Huan cried first, "Your Highness, Zhongcheng, brothers are miserable!"

Zhu Gongye and Gao Mingheng hurriedly supported Gao Huan together and comforted him: "General Gao, we all know, we all know!"

Gao Huan couldn't stop crying and cried sadly, "In this battle, the brothers suffered heavy losses. Although they defeated the Qing army, they also had all their wealth."

The King of Zhou was soft-hearted and hurriedly said, "The Lone King will give you some more!"

Gao Huan said again: "The soldiers are so bitter! They don't have a cotton jacket, they rely entirely on flesh and blood to fight with well-equipped Tartars."

King Zhou turned to look at Gao Mingheng and blamed him: "Zhongcheng, think of a solution! It won't make the hearts of the soldiers feel cold!"

Gao Mingheng hurriedly said, "Your Highness, there is no money in the treasury!"

The King of Zhou hesitated a little and said, "I took the lead in donating the gifts, and the King of Zhanzhao Zhou's mansion has been packaged!"

Gao Huan heard the words and was moved to salute.

At this time, Song Xiance, on the side, suddenly asked Li Pingyuan and Xu Heihu to display a military flag for the King of Zhou and the military and civilians of Kaifeng.

"Your Highness, Chief Secretary, all the Kaifeng people!" Song Xiance introduced: "This camp flag belongs to the Yuzhou camp. There are more than a hundred arrow holes and bullet holes on the small flag."

The King of Zhou and the gentry around him looked at it, and he was shocked when he saw the flags full of holes made by arrows and projectiles.

What a fierce battle this is to make a flag hit hundreds of arrows.

King Zhou was shocked, "Where are the soldiers of this camp? I want to reward the warriors with great rewards!"

Song Xiance sighed, "Report to Your Highness, the three thousand soldiers in Yuzhou camp were almost wiped out in order to defend the river embankment, leaving only a small soldier who was wearing straw sandals and the camp flag!"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into tears and couldn't speak out.

The King of Zhou looked at the Ming flag with holes, wiped his tears and said, "The lonely king will pay another 100,000 taels to pay for the heroes!"

The rich gentry in the city were not willing to be outdone and expressed their desire to donate money and supplies, for fear of being at a disadvantage and being ridiculed in the future.

With the King of Zhou taking the lead, the gentry in the city was not vague. An old man immediately shook his sleeves and said righteously, "I am willing to donate 10,000 taels to buy military shoes for the soldiers!"

"I donate 10,000 stones of white flour to replenish military rations for the soldiers!"

"I donate a thousand pieces of silk to make a flag for General Gao to strengthen his army's might!"

"Okay! How great is Kaifeng's elders!" Song Xiance immediately applauded, and the Kaifeng gentry were all crying, feeling that they had done something amazing.

Gao Huan nodded excitedly and began to perform, sighing: "Your Highness and the elders donate money and materials. This situation makes Gao cry! You treat you so kindly. From now on, Gao and the soldiers will be your soldiers. It is no problem to protect the country and be loyal to the country! This is really a deep friendship between the military and the people, and it will become a good story in the future!"

When everyone heard the words, they felt very comfortable inside and felt that the money was worth it.
