A few days later, Ainengqi led tens of infantry and cavalrymen from Fengyang to march into Suzhou.

Seeing that the morale of the army was scattered, Fang Guoan did not dare to resist and hurriedly evacuated Suzhou.

Nearly 10,000 soldiers fled a little half on the way, and finally arrived in Henan with only three or four thousand loyal to Fang Guoan.

They crossed the Bian River to the west, and Boluo sent troops to support him and entered Yongcheng.

Liu Liangzuo was also transferred to Yongcheng by Boluo.

The two surrendered generals, a total of more than 10,000 soldiers, jointly guarded against Ainengqi.

Boluo left only a thousand Qing troops to Tan Bu, asking him to control the two. He hurried to the north of Shangqiu, the Ding Family Roadkou on the south bank of the Yellow River with the remaining troops.

On the other side, Zhou Xian's army gathered more and more, reaching more than 20,000 people, and they could cross the river to attack at any time.

Liu Tiren, who was surrounded by Suizhou City, also became active and sent cavalry out of the city several times to attack the Qing army outside the city.

Duoduo sent people to tell Boluo that he could abandon Shangqiu and concentrate his superior forces to surround Suiyang. If Liu Konghe led his troops to cross the river, he would let him pass. When they entered the eastern Henan plain, he would send reinforcements himself.

From Kaifeng to Suizhou, cavalry can arrive day and night.

Boluo believes that if only Liu Kong and one, what Duoduo said might be possible.

But at this moment, Liu Liangzuo and Fang Guoan must also evacuate. At that time, the Longwu army led by Ainengqi will also enter Guide Prefecture.

Once Zhou Xianjun and Longwu army join forces, the situation in Henan will probably completely change.

For this reason, Boro sent someone to see Dodo and reported to him about his plans.

Duoduo reluctantly agreed to Boro's request and sent him two thousand cavalry, telling him to be careful.

Boluo withdrew the siege of Shangqiu and ordered his deputy general Tu Lai to lead all infantry back to Suizhou to prevent Liu Tiren. He led nearly 6,000 cavalry to the Ding Family Roadkou.

Boro decided to try his best to resist when Liu Konghe crossed the river.

If he could finally stop the enemy, Shangqiu and Suizhou Chuangjun understood that there were no reinforcements and the morale of the army was disintegrated, perhaps he could take the opportunity to take down Guide Mansion in one fell swoop.

If he couldn't stop it, he would harass the cavalry and delay time. He would retreat to Suiyang with Liu Liangzuo and Fang Guoan. The cavalry came and went freely, and he could evacuate at any time.

As for whether the Longwu Army led by Ainengqi will enter Guide Mansion by then, that is not something he can decide.

Both the Longwu Army and the Zhou Xian Army were enemies of the Qing Dynasty. However, the Longwu Army and the Zhou Xian Army were not friendly forces. If they both entered Henan, they would not have fought with each other.

But before breaking through Kaifeng and completely stabilizing Henan, Boluo did not want to let the Longwu Army enter eastern Henan.

In fact, Boro's considerations are not an unreasonable concern.

In order to prevent the situation of the two armies being merged, just a few days ago, Zhou Xian sent an envoy to meet Emperor Longwu and Sun Kewang. He used three thousand flintlock rifles and 20,000 kilograms of gunpowder to compete with the Longwu army, and persuaded them to cooperate with him to attack the Qing army northward.

But Emperor Longwu and Sun Kewang put forward a condition. They wanted the rebel army to agree that after expelling the Qing army in Henan, Suizhou City would belong to the Longwu army.

During the Han Dynasty, the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. King Liang defended Suizhou City and blocked the rebels of Wu and Chu for three months. He gathered troops to cut off the food route of Wu and Chu army and made great contributions to quelling the rebellion.

In the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Xun guarded Suizhou City to death and resisted 130,000 rebels for several months with 5,000 soldiers. He was nailed there like a nail, causing more than 100,000 rebels to dare to go south. He ensured the safety of the Tang Dynasty's official army's food and salary supply, and reorganized the Tang army and finally entered the Central Plains to gain time.

Whether it is going south or west, Suizhou is a point that cannot be avoided.

Emperor Longwu and Sun Kewang wanted Suizhou to ensure the safety of Huainan and create conditions for the future army to advance north.

At that time, when Liu Tiren was surrounded, Emperor Longwu sent an envoy to Suizhou to meet Liu Tiren. He wanted to convince him, and even persuade all the rebels in Henan to surrender to him.

But Liu Tiren sent an envoy to meet Zhou Xian and Longwu Army and asked them that whoever could lift the siege of Suizhou would lead his troops to surrender.

Of course, Liu Tiren's words were just forced statements in the unfavorable situation. No one can say whether he will comply with his promise after the rescue in the future.

However, after Liu Tiren was defeated, he neither crossed the Yellow River to surrender to Zhou Xian nor went south to surrender to the Longwu Army, but chose the most unwise to trap Suiyang to support Kaifeng.

From this we can see that Liu Tiren is still loyal to the rebel army.

The conditions proposed by the Longwu Army were that Zhou Xian could not make the decision for Liu Tiren. Even if he could make the decision in the future, Zhou Xian would not easily hand over Suizhou to them.

After all, the geographical location of Suizhou is too important.

Just imagine when I attacked the Qing army in the future, there was a large army stationed behind me in Suiyang and could launch an attack at any time. What a threat!

Zhou Xian did not make any statement and still gave the three thousand flintlock rifles to Longwu Army.

It means that in the future, whoever sends troops first will be the one who will get it. The two armies will not fight or confront each other, and each will take what they take.

Emperor Longwu agreed to this, and Sun Kewang also accepted it.

But Emperor Longwu and Sun Kewang had a dispute over the distribution of these flintlock rifles.

Based on Sun Kewang's old troops in Xianjun, the Longwu Army used swords and guns, and there were few firearms. Muskets were also clamping guns, and they did not have a single gun for muskets like flintlock guns.

The final result was that Emperor Longwu obtained five hundred poles to assemble his imperial guards, and Sun Kewang got the rest.

The Longwu Army, who obtained these, also followed the agreement, but because of the betrayal of Liu Liangzuo and Fang Guoan, the strength of the Longwu Army was damaged, and Sun Kewang was even more unwilling to face the Qing Dynasty.

Ainengqi led 10,000 stints to ride in the Sushui River, confronting Liu Liangzuo and Fang Guoan, but did not attack.

Sun Kewang asked Liu Wenxiu to lead 20,000 soldiers from Yingzhou to enter southern Henan, and took down Runan, which was not defended by the Qing army, but after entering the front line of Yancheng, he did not move any more.

When Longwu Army first marched, Duoduo was obviously a little worried. But when he saw Longwu Army like this, he was relieved in an instant. He only left thousands of soldiers in Xuchang and was at ease to transfer all other troops to Kaifeng.

Negotiations between the Longwu Army and Nanming have been underway.

Emperor Longwu wanted to use the help of the Nanming to suppress Sun Kewang, and Sun Kewang wanted to gain more benefits from the Nanming, so he failed to reach an agreement with Nanming.

However, after the Longwu Army obtained Runan, the Southern Ming Army took the initiative to withdraw its garrison in Xinyang and stationed at Pingjing Pass and Wuyang Pass on the border between Huguang and Henan.

After Li Zicheng's death, the south side rarely returned to peace.

But not long after, news came from Sichuan.
