Why choose King of Blessing?

Gao Huan naturally has his own plan.

Judging from historical performance, King Fu seemed not very smart, which made Gao Huan think of him the first time.

Furthermore, although his law is close to him, he is not the son of Chongzhen after all. After he ascended the throne, he needed to rely on Gao Huan, and it was also convenient for Gao Huan to make money.

Now that Chongzhen is in power, and there are princes and several sons, no one will think that Chongzhen and the ministers are dead, and in the end they fail to leave, and their sons fail to leave. Zhu Yousong takes a big advantage and becomes the legal heir.

Now that Zhu Yousong has lost his vassal state, his life is miserable, and no one can flatter or help him. For Gao Huan, he is a rare item.

Song Xiance got the order and immediately sent someone to find Zhu Yousong.

Gao Huan led a large army to launch a lightning raid on the Henan rebel army.

At the end of April, Li Yan, Gao Youwen and others returned to Xuzhou to take charge, supervise food and grass, and coordinate logistics supply.

Now Gao Huan has nearly 100,000 troops under his command. The mobilization of troops and logistics supplies is a serious test for the military government.

At this time, after Gao Huan and many generals made plans, each general mobilized troops to assemble according to the order.

The movements of the military government can naturally be hidden from the rebels in Luoyang.

Both sides are approaching each other, and they are under the eyes of each other. They are mobilizing their own troops and horses, so they will naturally be discovered soon.

In order to confuse the rebel army, Gao Huan first begs Gao Mingheng from Kaifeng to send troops first, pretend to move towards Hulao Pass, and make a sound. He will lead his troops to join Gao Mingheng, then break Hulao and break into Heluo.

Hulao Pass was originally the key defense of the rebel army. After Tian Jianxiu received the news, he immediately sent troops to reinforce Hulao Pass and also sent troops to monitor Xuanyuan Pass.

Because he got news from Shanxi merchants, more than 10,000 elite soldiers were stationed in Dengfeng County.

When Gao Huan learned that the rebel army had been mobilized, the rebel army thought that he would enter Luoyang from Hulao Pass, so he immediately led the army and set out from Xuzhou, preparing to enter Ruzhou along the official road.

In Ruzhou, the mountains are undulating, and Gao Huan's army of 50,000 is no smaller than a small group of people. He must march on the road.

At this time, the mighty autonomous army advanced along the official road.

Because of its own armoured workshop, the autonomous army has no worries about weapons, but the output of armor cannot be achieved.

Previously, the number of 50,000 people was less than 30%, and the number of armored soldiers was only 50,000. Now that the army has expanded to 10,000, the number of armored soldiers has dropped a lot, which is almost the same as Li Zicheng's soldiers.

However, although the clothes and armor cannot be the same as the ones, many soldiers wear their own torn clothes, but there are still red turbans for everyone.

At this time, the team marched forward, and Gao Huan led a group of generals to stand on the side of the road.

Gao Huan held the reins of the horse and said to everyone who came to see him off: "Go back! Mr. Li does the logistics well, Wang Jingde and Yuan Zongdi block Li Guo for this supervisor, and this supervisor will definitely seize Luoyang!"

"Don't worry, the governor, his subordinates have organized 150,000 civilians to transport food and military funds to the army!" Li Yan bowed: "The military government will ensure that the frontline soldiers will not be short of food!"

Wang Jingde and Yuan Zongdi looked at each other, and Wang Jingde held his fists proudly: "Don't worry, the governor, we can even block Li Zicheng, let alone Li Guo."

Yuan Zongdi said: "If you have subordinates, Li Guo will not interfere with the governor's army to recover Luoyang."

Gao Huan smiled when he heard this, nodded and exclaimed: "Okay! That book of governor will not say much."

At that moment, Gao Huan said nothing and led 50,000 troops along the official road and entered Ruzhou. Li Yan returned to the city to mobilize food. Wang Jingde and Yuan Zongdi also mobilized troops to prepare for the expedition.

Ruzhou, located in central Henan, is the main road connecting the two places.

If Ruzhou was in the hands of the rebel army, Luoyang rebel army and Nanyang rebel army could support each other. However, if Gao Huan had Ruzhou, the rebel army in Henan would be divided into two parts by Gao Huan. If he wanted to contact him, he could only cross Funiu Mountain.

Ruzhou is located at the remnant line on the eastern foot of the Funiu Mountains. There are Kongtong Mountain, Lushan Mountain and Huo Mountain in the territory. The terrain is high in the west and low in the east, mainly mountain forests and hills.

Before high-yield crops such as corn and sweet potatoes were introduced, many hills and terrain could not be cultivated, so Ruzhou was the poorest state in Henan, so poor that there was not even a vassal king.

In Henan, all prefectures have granted relatives, but Ruzhou does not, which shows how poor Ruzhou is.

In early May of the 15th year of Chongzhen, after a period of dispatching troops and allocating food and equipment, Gao Huan personally led more than 20 generals including Li Pingyuan, Xu Heihu, Yang Chengzu, and more than 50,000 troops into Ruzhou.

The rebel army had long received news that the autonomous army was attacking Luoyang, but he did not expect that Gao Huan would enter Ruzhou. Fortunately, the rebel general Wu Ruyi was more cautious and took some precautions.

However, after the rebel army occupied Ruzhou, it did nothing, and the unfavorable treatment of the epidemic caused the rebel army to lose people's hearts.

Next door to Ruzhou is under Gao Huan's rule. In the past two years, people have been running over. When the two sides compare, as soon as Gao Huan's army entered Ruzhou, the people of various villages and towns, as well as the local tyrants and large families who built villages and protected themselves in the mountains all surrendered to Gao Huan.

After the rebel army occupied Ruzhou, many large clans formed camps in the mountains to fight against the rebel army.

Although Gao Huan used to attack the local tyrants and divide the land, he has now become an official army and the policy has begun to unite some of the gentry's and major gentry families.

Compared to Li Zicheng who came up and chopped off his head and snatched all the food, Gao Huan's labor reform farm was simply kind.

Gao Huan's army entered Ruzhou, and the local tyrants in the mountains and the great clans moved and launched attacks to welcome the royal army.

The rebel army in Ruzhou did not expect that Gao Huan's army would raid Ruzhou.

Although Wu Ruyi was prepared, he was still caught off guard. Seeing that the people of Ruzhou supported Gao Huan, the landlords and tyrants in the mountains felt that there was someone to support him, so he killed them back and hurriedly contracted their troops towards Linru.

At this time, in the yamen of Linru County, Wu Ruyi frowned. He was originally in the rebel army, but since he met Gao Huan, he left his luck.

Previously, he first went to Xinzheng with Li Zijing to collect grain, but was defeated by Gao Huan, and then attacked Xuanyuan Pass with Gu Kecheng, but returned in vain.

Now that Gao Huan actually came to beat him again, Wu Ruyi was a little annoyed.

Aren’t you going to attack Luoyang? What did Gao Huan beat Ruzhou? You can’t always catch me and beat me alone!

At this time, Wu Ruyi stood in front of the map and fell into deep thought. He had lost twice. If he lost again this time, he would not be able to survive in the camp.

"General, the scout reported! After Gao Huan occupied Jia County, he was coming towards Lin Ru! His vanguard was only thirty miles away!" A scout hurriedly reported.

When Wu Ruyi heard the words, he frowned and paced back and forth. Suddenly he walked back to the map and sneered: "Hmph! I know Gao Huan's intention. It turns out that I want to go to Ruzhou and defeat Yichuan to Luoyang! This time, I will never let you do it!"
