When Gao Huan advanced into the Yellow River Flood and surrounded Dorgon's retreat.

Zheng Zhilong raised 50,000 troops, invaded Nanzhili from Huzhou, and fought a battle with the Left Army in Yixing.

However, although Zheng Zhilong's navy was strong, his infantry was very weak. Fifty thousand troops were completely repelled by Jin Shenghuan, the general of Zuozhen, with 20,000 people.

This made Zheng Zhilong very angry. After gathering his troops, he led another 60,000 people to Jiaxing, intending to seize Suzhou.

After Zuo Town arrived in Jiangnan, he levyed money and plundered money in the local area, which made the gentry of Jiangnan very dissatisfied with Zuo Town.

Therefore, some gentry in Jiangnan secretly colluded with Zheng Zhilong, intending to help Zheng Zhilong seize Suzhou in order to get rid of Zuozhen's control.

These large families in Jiangnan were also miserable. Only then did they deeply understand the harm caused to them by the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

If the authority of the Ming court is still there, the rules will still exist, and no one dares to touch their property at will.

Now that the authority of the Ming Dynasty is gone and the social order collapses, they become those who control the force and the fat sheep in their eyes.

They were rubbed by Gao Huan, cut by Zuo Liangyu, and now they put their hopes on Zheng Zhilong.

Originally, Zheng Zhilong had planned to march into Suzhou, but the news of Gao Huan's army entering the Huai River came, causing Zuozhen and the Zheng family to quit the war immediately, and at the same time chose to wait and see the development of the situation in Jiangbei.

Just when Zuo Liangyu learned that Gao Huan had almost wiped out the Qing army of Dorgon's army, Zheng Zhilong's commercial network also brought him news of the Battle of Shuanggouji, which was more specific than what Zuo Liangyu knew.

Although Zheng Zhilong has been developing in Fujian for many years, has no understanding of the situation in the north and has no intuitive feeling of the combat power of the Qing army, Zheng Zhilong is still very frightened when he heard this news.

On that day, Zheng Zhilong stood in the festival hall, looking at a map, and was in a daze. He came in behind him and bowed: "Master, Zuo Liangyu sent someone to deliver a letter to the king to meet."

Zheng Zhilong was upset. After hearing this, he couldn't help but stroke his beard, pondered for a while, and then asked, "Where is your faith?"

Zheng Cai sent a letter, Zheng Zhilong opened it and looked at it. In the letter, Zuo Liangyu said that if Gao Huan defeated Dorgon, he would inevitably go south to seize Jiangnan, and hoped that the two families could abandon the dispute and fight against Gao Huan together.

Zheng Jun robbed Gao Huan's Zhejiang this time and turned against Gao Huan. Zheng Zhilong was also afraid that Gao Huan would settle the score with him.

Previously, Gao Huan instructed Zhou Yanru to appease Zheng Zhilong. Zheng Zhilong had already agreed to wait and see, maintain a neutral attitude, and promised not to attack the Hongguang court.

However, the Liang army and the Qing army fought fiercely in Jiangbei, which made Jiangsu and Zhejiang empty. Zheng Zhilong saw that Liang army was so tempting that he couldn't help it for a moment, so he stabbed him from behind and captured Zhejiang.

Of course, the main reason why Zheng Zhilong made up his mind to attack Gao Huan was that Gao Huan and Shen Tingyang wanted to open a port in Shanghai and trade overseas, which undoubtedly wanted to destroy the Zheng family's job.

This time, the Zheng family chose to take action, standing on the side of the Northern Ming Dynasty and occupying Zhejiang. In addition to the rare opportunity, they were to continue to monopolize maritime trade.

The Hongguang court wanted to open the sea, and Shanghai was backed by the south of the Yangtze River. It had the Yangtze River water system to contact the inland, which was convenient for transportation of materials and the cost of obtaining supplies was far lower than that of Fujian.

If Shanghai successfully opened a port, what else can happen in Fujian?

It is precisely because of this conflict of interest that the Zheng family decided to stand opposite Gao Huan.

After reading the letter, Zuo Liangyu's words were exactly what he wanted, so he said to Zheng Cai: "You go and arrange it and choose a suitable time and place."

Three days later, in a small town on the Dongshan Island of Taihu Lake, Zheng Zhilong and Zuo Liangyu each came to meet with a hundred guards.

Both of them were wearing three-clawed dragon robes, jade belts on their waists, and winged crowns on their heads. They burst into laughter from a distance.

"King Wuchang! I have long admired my name!" Zheng Zhilong laughed.

Zuo Liangyu also laughed: "The name of King Minyue is surrounding the sea, and I am also well-known!"

The two walked together, holding hands with each other, looking at each other and laughing. It was impossible to tell that they had fought a battle not long ago.

Xuzhou City.

After Gao Huan learned about Zuo Liangyu's actions, he did not rush to deal with Zuo Liangyu.

Now that the Yellow River breaks, the Yellow River Flood in eastern Henan is divided into two parts, which is a very dangerous thing for the Liang State.

After all, the Qing army still had 120,000 elite soldiers, and Gao Huan's elite soldiers were concentrated in the east of the Yellow River Flood Zone, and Luoyang was empty to the west.

If the Qing army launched a quick counterattack, or if Li Zicheng suddenly attacked Luoyang, it would be very unfavorable for Liang State.

At this time, the results of the Battle of Shuanggou have been completed.

In this battle, the Liang army entered Henan, Huaihe and Shandong, with nearly 200,000 troops, defeating 150,000 Qing troops.

Among them, more than 23,000 people were captured in the Eight Banners, more than 30,000 people were killed, and more than 21,000 people were captured in the Northern Ming army, and ten thousand people were killed. In addition, 30,000 surrendered troops participated in any case.

Wu Sangui led more than 30,000 people and thousands of Eight Banners into the Yellow River Flood Zone.

Yang Chengzu and Xu Heihu were chasing along the river. Near Yu Guide, the Qing army that had walked out of the Yellow River Flood Zone immediately launched a raid, killing 10,000 Qing troops, and forcing some of the Qing troops into the Yellow River Flood Zone again.

The Qing army ran away in the mud, exhausted, and with drinking sewage, the army was full of epidemics. Even if they could escape, they had to peel off a layer of skin.

In this battle, the Qing army not only suffered heavy losses, but almost one out of ten were left, but also lost a large amount of baggage and horses.

Liang's army seized more than 70,000 armor, 80,000 war horses, 10,000 injured horses, and more than 20,000 dead horses. The capture can be said to be piled up like mountains.

At this time, in the hall, Gao Huan stood in front of the map.

Yang Chengzu and Xu Heihu walked in and reported, "Father Lord!"

Gao Huan turned around and smiled and said, "You two are back, what's going on?"

Xu Heihu clasped his fists and said, "I found Wu Sangui near Guide, killed thousands of him, and hurried the turtle grandson to the yellow area."

Yang Chengzu said: "After that we sent scouts to patrol along the river, we never found any traces of Wu Sangui. I don't know if he was starving to death in the Yellow River area or had already crossed the river. After finishing our food, I led my troops back before Wu Sangui came out again."

Wu Sangui ran away, which made Gao Huan feel a little regretful, but thinking about the capture of the battle in Shuanggou, running away to Wu Sangui was nothing.

The weapons, armor and horses seized this time were enough to equip Gao Huan with 60,000 elite soldiers.

What is Wu Sangui at that time!

Gao Huan couldn't help but nodded slightly, waved his hand and comforted him: "Not bad! Thank you for your hard work, go and rest!"

As they were talking, they suddenly heard the noise outside. Gao Huan and others couldn't help but turn their heads and look, and saw Zhou Fugui coming with a group of soldiers.

The important place of the festival is so noisy and unconventional.

Seeing this, Gao Huan frowned, but Zhou Fugui rushed over. He was still outside the door, so he reported impatiently, "The vassal lord, I have captured Dorgon."

Gao Huan was shocked and hurriedly walked out. He looked closely and saw that a man in the crowd was tied up and was being beaten by soldiers.

Zhou Fugui had met Dorgon, and if he said yes, he should not be wrong.

Seeing this, Gao Huan was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, Dorgon really used a trick to escape from his shell and hid in the prisoner's camp.
