Gao Wencai didn't sleep all night and wrote yesterday's discussions into memorials. He recruited his confidant Jinyiwei and handed him the memorials of Zhou Xian with his own. "Immediately, rush to the capital and hand them over to the emperor. Before leaving, go to see if he is not... "At this point, he paused and thought for a moment, and said, "No need, I'll visit him in person later. You can send these things first! Bring more people with you, so you must not lose any mistakes on the way."

The Jinyiwei nodded and said, "No!" and turned around and walked out.

Gao Wencai got up and walked to the window. It was dark and there was no trace of sunshine. It seemed that it was about to rain. He sighed silently in his heart, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable. For more than two hundred years, the world seemed to be about to reach the end. He couldn't help but wonder what the emperor would do this time?

Not long after, a new report on the Battle of Nanyang came, more detailed than before.

Sun Chuanting was defeated at the foot of Baizhong Mountain, and the entire army was dispersed. Bai Guangen led his troops to retreat south and prepared to flee to Nanyang City to defend. However, he was blocked by Liu Fangliang, who was besieging Nanyang City. Later, Liu Zongmin led his troops to come and attacked the two of them, defeating them at the city. Bai Guangen was surrounded by groups and dismounted and surrendered. Seeing Bai Guangen surrender, the morale of the army was in chaos. Zhu Yuyou and Ding Kuichu cong led more than a thousand soldiers to break through the south gate and attempted to escape to Huguang, but were intercepted by the rebel army. The army was disintegrated and the two were captured.

Lian State Affairs and Niu Chenghu were defending Baichong Mountains. When they saw the army defeated, they felt desperate. Lian State Affairs and died after they jumped into the cliff. Niu Chenghu led his troops to flee north. When they escaped from Baichong Mountains, they were blocked by Chen Yongfu at Luyang Pass. They fought hard for one day but could not break through and suffered heavy casualties. Chen Yongfu and Niu Chenghu were old acquaintances, so he personally came out of the pass to persuade him. Niu Chenghu led his troops to surrender in despair. However, Xu Er'an, the son of Xu Dingguo, led his troops to rebel and attack Chen Yongfu's troops. Some of the officials who were unwilling to surrender also took advantage of the situation to revive again. Although Chen Yongfu finally killed Xu Er'an, some of the officials fled north through Luyang Pass.

Left leader led the right-wing troops and suffered the most violent counterattack in the first battle, and suffered heavy losses. Later, when the situation completely reversed, he could not withstand the first step of leading his own personal troops to escape. It was precisely because of the timely escape that he saved a lot of troops. But what he thought was not how to break through, but how to preserve his glory and wealth. After he led his troops to retreat to a dangerous place, he sent someone to contact Li Zicheng and proposed to surrender.

Zheng Jiadong led the chariots in the middle, and they were fully advanced and slowly retreated. He suffered the most violent attacks, and the soldiers were seriously injured, and he himself died in the chaos.

Gao Jie led his troops to resist Li Guo at the foot of Baizhong Mountain. Seeing that the situation was not right, he keenly chose to abandon all his baggage and flee westward. There was Funiu Mountain there, and as long as he escaped inside, he would generally survive. Although Li Guo sent some people to pursue him, most of his troops were used to intercept the main force of the official army from behind. Gao Jie was able to escape, and his whereabouts were unknown.

Cao Bianjiao led all the cavalry, and he gathered soldiers to fight back, trying to stop the rebel army. However, when the army fled in scattered, most of his soldiers were dispersed. Finally, under the constant persuasion of the deputy general, he led his troops to escape southwest, and the Shangluo Mountains were in the Shangluo Mountains. At that time, less than a thousand cavalry were left by his side.

Li Guoqi protected Sun Chuanting and retreated westward. Li Yan and Li Guo's troops chased each other reluctantly. All the officials and soldiers were dispersed and the soldiers were separated. Finally, Li Guoqi's body was found in front of a mountain pass, but Sun Chuanting was not found. Some captured soldiers said that they died when they saw him commit suicide, while others said that he had escaped.

Tens of thousands of troops were scattered among the Nanyang Plain hundreds of miles, scattered and fled. Between the rugged mountain roads, exhausted scattered soldiers and brave soldiers were scattered. More of them were kneeling on the ground, waiting to surrender to the rebel army. The last elite army of the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in this disastrous defeat.

But in addition to this great victory, there were some disharmonious areas in the rebellion. Xu Er'an was killed in rebellion. Soon after, Xu Dingguo announced that he would leave the rebellion and surrender to the Longwu Army. Li Zicheng angrily killed Xu Erji, the youngest son who remained in the army, and at the same time announced that Emperor Longwu Zhu Youjian handed over Xu Dingguo, proposing that his brother Zhu You're willing to exchange it.

After the great victory, Li Yan proposed to march from Kaifeng into Daming Mansion to insert a nail into Hebei and Shandong. Li Zicheng listened to his advice, but the army was limited to pursuing the remaining soldiers of the official army, and at the same time, he would march into Shaanxi in the future. He only sent one side general and led 5,000 weak soldiers to cross the Yellow River on a boat. As soon as this side general crossed the Yellow River, a general of the Weihui Mansion surrendered the letter of surrender. He turned northwest and finally successfully recovered the two Weihui and Zhangde Mansions. But this was also a waste of time. When he led his troops to Daming Mansion, he was hit by Sun Xuan head-on.

After Li Yan found out, he could only sigh and stop talking.

Li Zicheng spent ten days to reorganize the prisoners, and then ordered Liu Fangliang to be the pioneer general, leading Chen Yongfu, Zuo Yi, Bai Guangen and other surrendered generals and several generals to go to Shaanxi first to sweep the passes along the way. He transferred grain from various places in Henan and personally led an army of 300,000 closely behind.

Emperor Chongzhen threw the memorial on the ground and shouted angrily: "Why? What is your Ministry of War for food? Why did Zhou Xian know that the army was defeated in Nanyang ten days ago, and you still can't figure out whether Sun Chuanting is still alive? Are your Ministry of War all waste?"

One of the officials whispered: "Your Majesty, there has been a reward that Sun Chuanting did commit suicide after his defeat."

Emperor Chongzhen was so angry that he came, "I committed suicide, what about his body! If you see it, whoever of you will see it? I want him to live, I will defeat the thief." Emperor Chongzhen was so angry that even I said it was me.

Li Banghua stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Nanyang is now defeated and Shaanxi is short of troops. I am afraid it will be difficult to defend for a long time. Although the memorial of General Zhou's commander was unpleasant, it also revealed the truth. The micro-officials should start taking action."

Emperor Chongzhen's face changed three times and he calmed down immediately. "What should I start to act?" He couldn't say something.

Li Banghua said in a deep voice: "Move the capital?"

Before Emperor Chongzhen could speak, a mess of discussion came from the bottom. An official got up and cursed Li Banghua, "Civil Li, what is your intention? He actually encouraged the emperor to move the capital. The capital is the foundation of the country. How can we say that we are relocated? You don't see the weak Song Dynasty, what will happen after the capital is moved? Only half of the country is left. Yu Shaobao stayed in the capital, and I, the Ming Dynasty, was replaced until now."

Li Banghua snorted coldly: "At least half of the Southern Song Dynasty has. What do you think you can compare with Yu Shaobao? Is the current situation the same as that at that time?"
