The news that the bodies of Li Zicheng and others were found in barren mountains and ridges quickly spread throughout the Hebei Prefectures, and then to Taiyuan Prefectures in Shanxi, and to the ears of Gao Guiying, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others.

Gao Guiying burst into tears after hearing this news, and Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others who had grudges with Li Zicheng were unspeakable. It is true that Li Zicheng had cheated them, but he also led the peasant army to prosperity. Moreover, now the peasant army has reached the most dangerous stage. The news of Li Zicheng and the others has made the remaining Dashun army soldiers depressed. The King of Chuang was dead, who could lead them to victory?

"Madam Gao, now is not the time to cry. We should avenge Li Zicheng and eliminate the Liao army in Taiyuan Prefecture. Even if they cannot be eliminated, they will still be severely damaged. Otherwise, Li Zicheng would not be able to rest in peace under the nine springs." Gao Yingxiang said.

"Yes, after we came out, we found that in addition to Li Zicheng and the traitor Zhang Yuan, the army may have the highest status and status, and only you can convince everyone. At this time, you should stand up and respond, gather hundreds of thousands of troops to fight the Fu Liao army in Taiyuan Prefecture. We have many people, and the Fu Liao army needs to divide the troops everywhere, so we may not lose!" Zhang Xianzhong said.

Gao Guiying wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, pulled out the sword from her waist, cut the wooden table in front of her into two pieces, and gritted her teeth: "I, Gao Guiying and Zhang Yuan, are incompatible, and I must use Zhang Yuan's head to pay tribute to my dead husband!"

Before Li Zicheng led his soldiers to attack the Ming Dynasty's capital, tens of thousands of refugees were left to guard all over the place. After the defeat of Shanhaiguan, these defenders were attacked by various troops from the Fu Liao army and retreated in Taiyuan Prefecture to wait for reinforcements.

Gao Guiying, along with Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and other 36th battalions, gathered refugees from Heluo, northern Shaanxi and other places, and crossed the Yellow River in a total of more than 100,000, and planned to fight to the death with the Fu Liao army in Taiyuan Prefecture. However, before the decisive battle began, they received bad news from Li Zicheng and others. More than 100,000 Dashun Army soldiers were sluggish and they had no fighting spirit in the desolate Taiyuan Prefecture.

Taiyuan Prefecture was constantly looted by Li Zicheng's army, and nine out of ten houses were empty. The food pressure was a fatal blow to the Dashun Army. They couldn't wait to fight the Fu Liao Army.

"The Liao army has been renamed the Jiuzhou Army. They have a 20,000-strong infantry and cavalry joint corps appear in the direction of Yanmen Pass. Datong General Wang Pu led thousands of Ming troops to support him. There were only 5,000 Jiuzhou soldiers gathered near Zhending County, but they activated the Ming army general Lu Xiangsheng. Lu Xiangsheng was very prestigious in the Hebei region. He quickly gathered tens of thousands of soldiers of the original Ming army and supported each other with the Jiuzhou army. In addition, there is Zhang Yuan, whom we hate the most, who brought hundreds of his personal soldiers to be near Zhending County." Gao Yingxiang received news from the scouts in front.

"Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and his uncles from the 36th Battalion, you will lead the troops from our headquarters to the north to fight against the Jiuzhou army in the north, and the Jiuzhou army in the east will be handed over to me. I will definitely kill Zhang Yuan with my own hands." Gao Guiying said.

"I'm really worried that you, a woman, will fight the cunning Zhang Yuan." Gao Yingxiang said.

Zhang Xianzhong and others also nodded. The culprit who cheated them at that time was Zhang Yuan, and they remembered Zhang Yuan's horror. They really didn't think Gao Guiying could play the insidious, cunning, and ruthless Zhang Yuan.

"Please rest assured that if you cannot win this battle, Guiying is willing to apologize for his death!" Gao Guiying issued a military order.

Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong and other leaders looked at each other. They knew that they could not convince Gao Guiying, who was full of hatred for Zhang Yuan, to not seek Zhang Yuan's bad luck, so they could only accept it.

"Originally, Li Zicheng betrayed our original oath, and we should punish him with three swords and six holes. Unexpectedly, he died at the hands of the Jiuzhou Army, which is really sad. From today on, the grudge between Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng will be settled from now on, and Li Zicheng will no longer owe me anything." Gao Yingxiang said.

"My Eight Kings Zhang Xianzhong also made grudges with Li Zicheng and avenged Li Zicheng."

"I broke into the sky and Liu Guoneng and Li Zicheng have no grievances and no grudges from now on. I will join forces with my brothers and sisters to fight against powerful enemies!"

...

Many leaders of the 36th Battalion said one after another. Li Zicheng is dead, and it is meaningless to care that Li Zicheng is detaining them. The biggest crisis they are facing at present is that the Restoration Liao Army wants to annex them!

"Okay, I, Gao Guiying, toast a bowl of brothers! After drinking this bowl of wine, we all went to the battlefield and returned together in triumph!"

Gao Guiying raised her wine glass high.

"Defeat the Jiuzhou Army and avenge Brother Li!" Dozens of big bowls were raised!

Chu Yun, located in the capital, did not do nothing, but was busy transporting spare officials trained in Liaodong and southern Liaoning to the capital by ship to take over the responsibilities of the old ministers of the Ming Dynasty, first establishing a new internal affairs system in the capital, and then expanding it to the local area.

The old ministers of the Ming Dynasty who had lost their favor retired and returned home one by one. The Jiuzhou Army each paid a pitiful travel fee according to their ranks and sent them away. Some talented officials who were willing to learn new knowledge were selected and left in the capital by Chu Yun.

In terms of the spare officials trained in Liaodong and southern Liaoning, the number of spare officials was actually far from enough to make up for the vacancy in the pass. Local officials were first served by old officials, and they were transformed and new officials were trained in the future.

The many things in the capital are enough to Chu Yun, and he also has to worry about the upcoming decisive battle against the Dashun Army of Taiyuan Prefecture and the attack on Nanjing City. All of this has exhausted Chu Yun.

"Well...when is it now?" Chu Yun took a nap in confusion and was lying on the desk.

There are still a bunch of reports on the table that have not been processed.

Aila, who had just sneaked in, was caught by Chu Yun.

"It's already the third time to say that the Lord of the Army is now." Since Chu Yun discovered it, Ella had to stick out her tongue and rub Chu Yun's shoulders. "I'm busy with all kinds of things recently, and I don't dare to wake him up."

"Aren't you still not going to bed? Are you lonely sneaking in?" Chu Yun asked.

"Bah, I'm not that hungry... hungry." Ella blushed, "It was the people arranged by our intelligence department to send back important information that I couldn't help but come and report it."

"Aren't the Japanese Kingdom busy fighting against the peasant army uprising that rebelled against Amacao?" Chu Yun said in confusion, "If nothing unexpected happens, the shogunate will take some time to suppress the peasant uprising that rebelled against Amacao. What trouble can it cause?"

"No, the one who caused the trouble this time was the Shimazu family who had a cooperative relationship with us."
