After Gao Huan's manifesto was issued, it gave the country a shot of a strong aid to the Ming Dynasty.

The officials and gentry in Shanxi, which were originally shaken by Li Zicheng's eastern expedition, began to watch again, hoping that Gao Huan could turn the tide.

After all, Gao Huan defeated Li Zicheng several times and defeated the Qing army, and his strength was there.

Therefore, Gao Huan's manifesto was still very powerful, which gave Chongzhen a reassurance, and made Jiang Xiang, Tang Tong and others sway and did not dare to surrender to Li Zicheng easily.

This made Li Zicheng, who was originally progressing very smoothly in Shanxi, suddenly encountered obstacles. Jinzhong and Jinbei, who had originally agreed to surrender, all changed their minds.

Gao Huan caused trouble for Li Zicheng, but the manifesto was sent out and gained a wave of reputation, but the army did not initiate a forced transit.

The Yellow River is flowing fast, and Gao Huan has no navy on the Yellow River. If the landing fails and the troops cannot retreat even if they want to retreat, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Furthermore, the Qing army stationed troops in Ningjin, and it goes without saying what they wanted to do.

Gao Huan didn't dare to cross the river, and fought to the death with Li Zicheng, so that the Qing army could reap the profits.

At present, Gao Huan is not actually opposed to Li Zicheng's march into Hedong. On the contrary, Gao Huan also hopes that Li Zicheng can occupy Hedong.

What Gao Huan didn't want to see was that after Li Zicheng occupied Hedong, he did not clean up Hedong and stabilized his rule over Shanxi, so he rashly attacked Beijing and destroyed the Chongzhen court.

Gao Huan issued a manifesto, in addition to earning reputation and political capital, to stop Li Zicheng from Shanxi.

In this way, after the Qing army entered the pass, they could not get the name of revenge for Chongzhen. If Li Zicheng stayed in Shanxi for one more day, the more stable the Shun army's rule in Shanxi, so that Li Zicheng could withstand the Qing army's attack in Shanxi? Buy time for him.

In history? After the Battle of Yishui, Li Zicheng hurriedly withdrew from Guanzhong? Did not arrange heavy troops to defend Shanxi? Even the general Liu Zongmin did not stay in Shanxi, and the Ming gentry who failed to clean up the Ming gentry who surrendered? These officials and gentry cooperated with the Qing army and easily captured Shanxi, a strategic location.

If Shanxi was in the hands of Li Zicheng, could it threaten Beijing? The Qing army could not go south in a short period of time. With Shanxi as a barrier, the Shun army would not collapse so quickly.

Therefore, after the manifesto was released, Gao Huan just gathered in Mengjin County, Rongze and other places, and was preparing to cross the river on the surface, but in fact he was building fortifications.

At this time, the Yellow River is a natural danger. After winter, the Yellow River enters the dry season and the river surface is frozen? The army can come on the ice.

Gao Huan led everyone to patrol the Yellow River? Looking at the rolling Yellow River, sighing at the river.

"Who said no? The Yellow River is in a hurry? We can't blame us!" Song Xiance said without hesitation.

The generals agreed, saying that the Yellow River is invincible and cannot be forced to cross.

At this time, Gao Huan sighed? Then he pulled out his horse and said, "Go back to the camp!"

The group left Shanbao and rushed to the military camp.

At this time, as soon as everyone returned to the camp, they saw a team of more than ten people galloping over.

Li Pingyuan had sharp eyes and saw at a glance that the leader was Henan Governor Gao Mingheng, followed by Chen Yongfu and other generals.

"The governor is Gao Fujun!" Li Pingyuan pointed at the horse team and said.

Gao Huan rushed forward after hearing the words, laughed loudly and asked, "Haha~ How did the high school chief come here?"

Gao Mingheng and others held their horses and clasped their fists and said, "I saw the Marquis's manifesto, so I came to see if I could help!"

Gao Huan happened to be looking for Gao Mingheng, so he immediately said, "Let's talk about it when you enter the camp!"

Everyone then dismounted and entered the camp. Just as the Zhongwu Army soldiers were having dinner, Gao Huan asked, "Chief Zhong is here, you haven't eaten yet!"

Chen Yongfu interrupted, "The general and Zhongcheng came all the way, but they hadn't eaten yet, so they wanted to come to the Marquis to have a meal~"

"It's easy to say, you can have enough steamed buns and big cakes, and you can have enough meat!" Gao Huan was a little surprised. Chen Yongfu was not enthusiastic about him before, but today he took the initiative to chat with him and couldn't help laughing.

While speaking, everyone had already arrived at a big tent. Gao Huan immediately ordered Yang Yan to prepare lunch. The Zhongwu Army was always in the military camp. They always had the same standard. What the soldiers ate, the generals ate, and the same was true for Gao Huan.

Soon, a winnowing basket of steamed buns, a winnowing basket of big cakes, and a large bucket of broth were brought in.

Gao Huan said to Gao Mingheng, Chen Yongfu and others: "The conditions in the army are difficult, don't dislike me!"

When Gao Mingheng, Chen Yongfu and others saw Gao Huan, they skillfully tore the steamed buns and put them into mutton soup. When they saw the generals of Zhongwu Army, they ate it so much that they couldn't help but sigh, "The Marquis and the soldiers share the joys and sorrows, which is really admirable."

At that moment, Gao Mingheng, Chen Yongfu and others also sat on a long bench and ate around the square table.

Gao Mingheng took a sip of the broth and asked, "Has the Marquis just gone to check the Yellow River?"

Gao Huan nodded while soaking steamed buns: "I inspected the river and the water flowed rapidly, and there were soldiers and horses stationed on the opposite side, so it would be difficult to cross the river!"

Gao Mingheng was stunned when he heard this, thinking of Gao Huan's manifesto, but he couldn't even pass the river. He couldn't help but say in surprise: "What should I do?"

Li Zicheng went east to expedition, and Beijing was in danger. Now only Gao Huan can save the Ming Dynasty.

After receiving Gao Huan's manifesto, Gao Mingheng was excited and rushed over to help. In addition, Gao Huan made a large sum of money from Lianghuai to see if he could borrow some from Gao Huan.

Although Gao Mingheng is the governor of Henan, the only place he controls is Kaifeng, with almost no income. After the third battle of the Zhou King, he was almost empty.

Gao Huan put down the soup bowl, stared at Gao Mingheng, and said with a serious look on his face: "Do you want to hear the truth?"

Gao Mingheng sat upright, "Mr. Marquis said whatever he said!"

"I just inspected the soldiers and found that the Yellow River was in a hurry, and Li Zicheng was prepared for it. It is probably impossible to cross the river to rescue Hedong." Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "Now Li Zicheng is in Shanxi, and the Qing army is also undermining Shanhaiguan. This marquis thought that Hedong and Beizhi would be lost sooner or later. Since I cannot cross the river, I should consider the possibility that Shanxi and Beizhi will fall and the Qing army will enter the pass in a large scale!"

Gao Mingheng and Chen Yongfu [pencil novel www.qbxs.xyz] frowned and fell into deep thought.

Although everyone is unwilling to admit it, what Gao Huan said is indeed reasonable.

In fact, when Hong Chengchou was defeated and the elite troops on the nine sides were lost, and the defense of Yanshan was as if it was ineffective, the Ming Dynasty should consider giving up, and the defense of the Great Wall line was moved to Nanjing, and transferred Wu Sangui, Tang Tong, Jiang Xiang, Gao Di and others to Zhennan to build a second line of defense.

Gao Mingheng pondered for a while and said seriously: "What is Mr. Hou's intention?"

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "It's time to consider how to defend the Yellow River line."

After saying that, Gao Huan stood up and ordered Yang Yan, who was having a meal, "Go and bring the map."

Yang Yan hurriedly put the bowl to get the map, and Gao Huan arrived immediately, "It is not yet enough to retreat to the Huaihe River. This governor decided to defend Henan and Shandong first. If he keeps it, it will take less than a few years to recover the lost territory. If he can't defend it, he can only stick to the Huaihe River line~~~~~~"
