The personal soldier who delivered the document should hand over the combined information to Sun Chuanting in person according to the rules. Sun Chuanting's eyes were already red and his face was mostly blue and white. He just said to the personal soldier:

"Thank you for me to tell you, Mr. Li, congratulations..."

Since the news came, the empty Shandong Governor Yan Jizu and the eunuch under house arrest were both frightened. They were not worried about the Ming Dynasty, but because the northern Zhili was empty. The court probably wanted to transfer Shandong troops to the north to garrison. General Li was not an obedient role.

If the court delays again and does not dare to touch such a general in command, then the only one will be his own.

Li Meng and his team also planned many times to avoid their troops being transferred to Northern Zhili. Although everyone in Shandong and the capital received news of Songshan's defeat through various channels, the news was too amazing. We must make preparations in all aspects before we can release it.

In August, the army of the camp began to slowly move to the northeast. The Ming Dynasty soldiers stationed in Fengyang Prefecture, Nanzhili, were already on guard. However, the purpose of the army was no longer like this. Instead, it crossed Shangshui County and Chenzhou in the south of Kaifeng Prefecture and prepared to enter Guide Prefecture.

The official troops stationed in Nanzhili breathed a sigh of relief and thought that as long as they did not invade their own territory, everything would be fine. As for the chaos in the territory of the Ming Dynasty opposite, they would not do their own business if they were not in their own defense zone.

Yang Wenyue fled, Fu Zonglong was killed, and the civil and military generals of Kaifeng Prefecture were already shocked three times a day. They stayed in Kaifeng City and did not dare to go out easily. The army of the camp passed by the southern part of Kaifeng Prefecture. Shangshui County and Chenzhou were both captured, and the county magistrate and the prefect were killed, but no one dared to support him.

Tian Jianxiu led 30,000 troops to break into the camp to advance slowly. Although he was cautious in his actions, there was no obstacle along the way. The first battle was at the horse factory at the junction of Guide Prefecture and Kaifeng Prefecture.

The Tuocheng garrison Jia Dashan came out of Guide to plunder refugees, but encountered the vanguard of the rebel army led by Tian Mixiu. The two sides were just a small battle.

Although Ta Mixiu's army had the advantage, after contact, it immediately stopped moving forward, retreated ten miles, and waited for the subsequent local troops to join before continuing to act.

When Jia Dashan's troops saw the enemy's army, of course they did not dare to act rashly and hurriedly retreated back to Tuocheng, Guide Prefecture. The rebel army did not hide anything from their actions. Such a huge army could not hide their actions.

The horse factory was already very close to Tuocheng County, Guide Prefecture. There were nearly 4,000 cavalry in the forefront of Tian Jianxiu's camp. Jia Dashan came out to collect the refugees, but only about 3,000 infantrymen. Tian Jianxiu caught up with this army and completely annihilated it.

When the two sides fought, Jia Dashan's troops even suffered a small loss. They thought they were about to be destroyed. However, Tian Jianxiu did not dare to continue to move forward, but instead shrank his troops.

This made the troops of Guide Mansion shrink back. Jia Dashan, who returned to Tuocheng County, was so scared that he was so scared that he asked all his subordinates to send him out to ask for help.

Now there are two military farms in Guide Prefecture. There are three battalions of regular army. The armed villager Ding and Jia Dashan's own troops can also gather 5,000 people, but compared with most of the more than 8,000 soldiers and horses, they are not worth mentioning at all.

But Tian Jianxiu was still in the area of ​​Machangji and Chenzhou, just a small group of cavalry were conducting reconnaissance and testing, waiting for the army led by the King of Chuang.

Tian Jianxiu waited for five days and all the troops that could be mobilized in Guide Mansion were hoarded at the junction of Guide Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion.

In addition to the people mentioned above, there were also brave locals led by Guide Prefecture and many local gentry lands in Kaifeng Prefecture. The most of these people was a group of thousands of people, and the few were only more than one hundred people. They all had land and tyrants in the local area.

These people are the so-called local gentry who built villages and protected themselves, and the basic class of the Ming Dynasty ruled. The officials of Guide Prefecture and Tuocheng County were really stunned when they saw this scene. They remembered that "Li Zhenhai" was now when Jia Dashan, the guards of Tuocheng County, gathered people to cause trouble, and the government repeatedly summoned local famous families, hoping that these local tyrants could make a contribution to the defense and rebellion.

The court could not pay military salaries at all, and the only officers and soldiers only defended the city - or to put it more accurately. The officers and soldiers hurried in the city and did not dare to come out at all.

The power that the prefect and officials can rely on is only the powerful people in these places. According to their ideas, these local families rely on fame and status on their daily lives. They do not bear taxes and labor service at all, and do not know how much advantage they have taken from the official family. This time, if there is something wrong with the government, these local tyrants should do some effort.

Who would have thought that officials would coerce and tempt, and say all the good and bad things, and no one would have paid attention to the convening motion. Henan was in such chaos, and who would have paid attention to the government that could not leave the city?

But the order at that time was just to allow these wealthy families to maintain public order. After a little confrontation, "Li Zhenhai" was increasingly uncontrollable. But at that time, Jia Dashan was the biggest tyrant in Guide Mansion. Those tyrants should have been led by him, so why are they talking about confrontation?

Now that the army of the Chuang King is facing the enemy, everyone in the world knows that the Chuang King is the most merciless to the landlords and gentry, and it is common to kill the family. At present, there are only more than 5,000 people in the Minzhuang Township Warriors gathered by these local tyrants, and the combat power of Guide Mansion mobilized was only more than 10,000, and the Chuang Army opposite was dozens of times that.

Even if the troops who made up the numbers in the trench army were probably more than ten times more powerful than this, why did these mobs suddenly become bolder?

The reason for the matter is not difficult to answer. With Jia Dashan, a rich and powerful horse bone in front of him, who would not want to fight for his life to earn a wealthy official? What kind of background in Jia Dashan also earned a garrison official title. If this is considered a grade, it would be almost the sixth rank.

These landlords in the countryside have some land and are rampant in the countryside, but they nodded and bowed whenever they meet a servant who has no serious official position. In this countryside, the teachers in private schools may not be scholars. Even if their children want to follow them, they will not be able to get any fame.

From ancient times to the present, you have made a fortune. If you have nothing to do with the government, you don’t know when you make a small mistake and your property will be fined and confiscated. You say that you have not paid taxes or paid corvee for decades. We tyrants rely on force and deception, but those who have fame and official status in their families are open and upright and do not pay taxes and corvee for labor, and the yamen should treat them politely.

Even though the family business is bigger than the other party, they are still shorter when they meet. Who doesn’t want to pay taxes and labor service with confidence, and who doesn’t want the government to treat it politely. However, in this chaos, civil servants were monopolized by scholars in Jiangnan, and military officers became family traditions of generals.

Suddenly, Li Dashuai from Shandong was loose, and a rich man like Li Zhenhai could actually get a garrison title. Li Zhenhai is a gang in Guide Mansion, and he has tens of thousands of people. So can we have a thousand people like us be a thousand generals, and a hundred generals? This is a real confession from the government.

It is worth it to make a promise for this official position, to make a family, and to make a decent future for your descendants. It is worth it to earn a righteous and upright person without paying taxes.

What's more, the local tyrants rushed to lead people to come, and they knew that Guide Mansion was very close to Shandong and Nanzhili. Shandong troops had large troops in Yanzhou and large troops stationed in Huaiyang area, so they were very quickly transferred.

With a strong city on your back, people will always have special courage and feel that their hearts are supported.

Tian Jianxiu sent troops to the Machang to clean up the officers and soldiers, survey the terrain, and build barracks and warehouses, and subsequent troops kept catching up.

The rebel army continued to hoard troops at the junction of Runing Mansion and Guide Mansion, but apart from small-scale temptations, there was no action on earth, because the large troops of the rebel king and Cao Cao were still on the road, and hundreds of thousands of people could not get up anyway.

However, the number of personnel in Guide Mansion increased very slowly. Moreover, the number of personnel in these places was the landlord armed forces who came to Weihui Mansion, Huaiqing Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion and other places to venture to seek wealth.

But these people are not as cautious as the crusade army. They dare to attack boldly. Of course, this boldness is more appropriate to describe it with the word recklessness.

The reckless defenders and the cautious crusades made a difference for a moment. Although the camp was intending to advance eastward, they became more and more cautious when they saw the other party fighting so unscrupulously.

However, Jia Dashan had the idea of ​​fighting to the death. His origin was irreconcilable with the tide of the rebel army, and now he has a garrison title.

Although he sent Shandong an emergency document, he did not have much hope, because Jiaozhou Camp would definitely maintain Shandong's territory and would not discuss such external branches too much. Moreover, it would be a bit unworthy to fight against the army of the King of Rebellion for Guide Mansion.

But to his surprise, he asked for help and sent it out quickly, and there was an immediate reply from Shandong. Zhang Jiang, the Yanzhou Army Chief, led 7,000 Yanzhou Army troops into Guide Mansion. The Yanzhou Army was stationed in a place adjacent to Henan, and this time it was very convenient to pass through.

He asked for help and received the fastest response from Jinan. After seeing the urgent document from Guide Mansion, Shandong General Li Meng was angry and happy. He was angry that he did not keep the alliance. He originally thought that he would not enter Kaifeng and Guide. He was happy that he was worried about how to deal with the order to station in Beizhili, and this happened here, just to take advantage of the situation.

The Shandong general had police on the Yanzhou border, and the Henan generals asked for help urgently, and had the right to send troops to rescue. Li Meng immediately announced the mobilization order of Shandong soldiers and horses, and led his cavalry along the canal and headed straight to Guide Mansion to support him.

At the same time, the 10,000 troops of Chen Liu, the general of Huaiyang Army, were also mobilized, and they quickly gathered together to rely on water transportation to Guide Prefecture.

The rebel army moved slowly and did not dare to go out lightly. The grain road and the rear route were guaranteed by a large army. Although the Jiaozhou Camp was a rapid reinforcement, it was also extremely cautious.

In mid-August, at the junction of Guide Mansion and Runing Mansion, Shandong soldiers and the rebel army confronted each other, and it was already a storm.

As for why he is so cautious, it may be that the Battle of Songshan is so impressive that no one is willing to be the light division and defeat the unlucky person who is surrounded.

On August 17th, on the north bank of Woshui near the Horse Factory, the five hundred cavalry of the rebel army had contact with the horse team of Jiaozhou Camp...
