After the Qing army entered the customs, it began to collect intelligence from the south, and the Ming army's defense in Jiangbei had already been clearly felt.

When Duoduo went south, he already knew from the secret agents of the Qing army that in order to prevent the Qing army from moving south, the Southern Dynasty roughly set up three lines of defense in Jiangbei.

These three lines of defense are distributed along the line of Xuzhou, the line of the Huai River, and the line of the Yangtze River.

Duoduo could see that the Southern Dynasties had made great efforts in the defense of Jiangbei, leaving enough depth.

The Qing soldiers broke through the first line of defense, as well as the second and third lines, and it was not an easy task to break through three lines in a row to cross the river.

Gao Mingheng knew the fear of the Ming army against the Qing army, and was worried that the Ming army would collapse at the first touch, so he put his highly valued general Gao Jie on the front line.

The first line of defense of the Ming army, with Gaojie Town in Xuzhou as the core, is located in the north of the Huaijiang River, at the junction of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and is a threshold that the Qing army must cross in the south.

Gao Jie is a general that Gao Mingheng relies on, Gao Mingheng puts him in the forefront, except for Gao Jie who served under Sun Chuanting and has good combat power, the main thing is that Gao Mingheng is at ease with him, so he put him in Xuzhou.

Gao Mingheng believes that Gao Jie Town is in Xuzhou, even if the Qing army goes south, Gao Jie will be able to withstand it for a while, and only if the front line does not collapse at the first touch, then the hearts of the people in Jiangbei will be stable, and other people will feel that they can fight a dozen.

Xuzhou blocked the way for the Qing army to go southeast from Shandong, and Duoduo sent troops from Henan to flank Xuzhou, and even directly pounced on the second line of defense of the Ming army along the Huai River.

In order to realize his strategic intentions, Duoduo first had to take Guide to the west of Xuzhou in order to outflank Xuzhou.

Duoduo has a good understanding of the situation in Henan, and knows that the Ming general stationed in Guide is Gao Yihuan's brother Liu Shun.

Speaking of the last Duoduo Southern Expedition, the reason why the gutter capsized was because of this Liu Shun who ran to intervene and made Man Dahai defeated.

As soon as Mandahai was defeated, he changed all of Duoduo's battle plans, and finally had no choice but to return north.

Although Liu Shun did not fight Duoduo head-on, and he finally quietly slipped back to Germany, Duoduo held a grudge against him.

A few years ago, this Liu Shun dared to rob the war horses of the Qing Dynasty with Gao Yihuan in Shandong, and later intercepted the Jin merchants to transport grain, so that he suffered a big loss in the battle of Ruzhou, which is extremely hateful.

In this way, Duoduo fought with Gao Yihuan three times, except for the first time, the remaining two failures had something to do with this Liu Shun.

This time, Duoduo couldn't beat Gao Manzi, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, but killing this Liu Shun and cutting off Gao Yihuan's arm could make him feel a little happier.

As far as Duoduo knew, Liu Shun had 30,000 soldiers and horses, stationed in the Guide Mansion, and his strength was not very strong.

Duoduo is ready to suddenly kill from the deserted Kaifeng Mansion to Guide, and he will definitely be able to beat Liu Shun by mistake and destroy this clown.

At that moment, Duoduo asked people to explore the terrain of Kaifeng on the one hand, and prepared to meet the banner soldiers from the north to take refuge in the summer to go south to prepare for the southern expedition.

Guide Mansion, the north gate of Shangqiu City.

A group of horse soldiers suddenly galloped to the city, and after verifying their identities, they rushed along the street non-stop to the mansion of the Guibian General Army.

Liu Heizi has been running Guide Mansion for nearly four years, and the city has long been revitalized.

Shangqiu City, which was plundered by the army and made a mess by Zhao Yingyuan, has recovered to 50,000 people because of the hard work of Ji Guofeng, the first military division of Liu Heizi.

Although this cannot be compared with the capital city in the south of the Yangtze River, it is quite difficult for a city that has experienced the devastation of war.

Liu Heizi was able to do Guide by focusing on two things, one is digging coal, and the other is tuntian.

The coal mine in Guide brought Liu Heizi a lot of income, so that in addition to the field endowment, he could have a large amount of money in his account and be able to buy the resources he needed.

Tuntian is the foundation of Liu Heizi's foothold in Guide, he is not only in Tuntian, but also in the territory of Kaifeng Mansion.

When Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng, he dug up the Yellow River and irrigated the city, and the whole Kaifeng became a Ze country, and there was no one in a radius of 100 miles, and the land was deserted.

Such a large piece of wasteland, overgrown with weeds, jackals rampant, Liu Heizi felt a pity, Ji Guofeng led more than 3,000 people, in the dry period of the Yellow River, plugged the gap, ending the annual flooding of the Yellow River.

At this age, Liu Heizi was preparing to do a big job, and Gao Yihuan's reminder immediately made Liu Heizi worried.

At the end of last year, Gao Yihuan asked Liu Heizi to help in the war, but Liu Heizi didn't go simply, and slipped away halfway through the fight, which caused a crack in the relationship between him and Gao Yihuan.

Although Gao Yihuan won the battle later, he was always a little uncomfortable thinking of Liu Heizi, and Liu Heizi was not too embarrassed to face Gao Yihuan.

After the war, Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi expressed their understanding of Liu Heizi's behavior through several letters, as well as giving Liu Heizi money and food, Liu Heizi was embarrassed to ask for it, and excused himself, Gao Yihuan didn't insist on it, so he really didn't give it, so the relationship between the two gradually cooled down.

In the past, Gao Yihuan wrote a few letters to Liu Heizi almost every month, and he would call Liu Heizi his brother at the beginning, but now he doesn't write a few books.

It wasn't until more than a month ago that a letter suddenly came, written by someone else, reminding him that the Qing army might attack Guide, which made Liu Heizi shocked.

At this time, in the backyard of the General Soldier's Mansion, the maids and their subordinates were coming in and out, packing up and loading boxes of belongings onto the cart.

In the room, Deng Shi hugged his daughter, sat on the edge of the bed, patted his sleeping daughter, and whispered to Liu Heizi: "Is Tartar really coming to fight Guide?" ”

Liu Heizi shook his head, "I'm not sure yet, but it's not far from ten." Guide is located on the front line, it is not very safe, your mother and daughter will go to the south to take refuge first, and when the Tartars have retreated, I will take your mother and daughter back. ”

Deng remembered his father who died in the battle in Jinan, that year the Tartars entered the Kou Pass and killed directly to Jinan, his father also sent her away first, and then the city was broken and killed, and more than 100,000 people in Jinan were all taken away by the Tartars.

As soon as she thought of this, tears flowed out, "Xianggong, the Tartar is cruel, you must take care!" If there is really danger, you will give in to the Korean duke and ask him to send troops to rescue, and the concubine thinks that the Korean duke will definitely send troops to rescue. ”

Liu Heizi couldn't stand it when he saw Deng's tears, he hurriedly waved his hand, "Madam, don't worry, I know, I will write a letter to the second year of high school, you take this Yan'er first!" ”

The two were talking, but a general covered in blood outside suddenly ran in, knelt on the ground, and gasped urgently, "Dashuai, Chen Baoping has surrendered, and Sui County has been lost!" ”

Liu Heizi's heart sank, and the first thing that came to mind was, "Madam, take Yan'er away!" ”
