In the struggle between the Liu family army and Liu Zeqing, the Liu family has always had the upper hand. They killed important generals under Liu Zeqing and destroyed half of their servants, causing Liu Zeqing to suffer heavy losses. However, this does not mean that the Liu family will let Liu Zeqing go and forget the grudges between them.

You should know that Liu Zeqing is the only person in Shandong who is qualified to threaten them. Liu Zeqing has expanded his army to nearly 100,000. Although the combat effectiveness of these 100,000 troops is not very good, even if the 100,000 pigs start to mess around, it will definitely cause huge trouble to the Liu family.

After Liu Bu completed a series of deployments, he discovered that Liu Zeqing, who is in Jinan, is one of their main opponents and enemies. If the Liu family takes action, the first thing they have to kill is Liu Zeqing. How can he allow others to sleep soundly?

Moreover, the other party was not willing to be lonely and took the initiative to deal with the Liu family. Since he emerged himself, it was not a question that the Liu family had made a spear, so this series of arrangements were made.

Their series of arrangements were also prepared to deal with Liu Zeqing. As long as his army dared to leave Jinan and come to the three east prefectures, Liu Bu would dare to ask him to go but not return.

Liu Zeqing attacked the Liu family a few times before. He was smarter and did not take action himself, so he didn't have any trouble. This time, Liu Bu made the arrangements himself. If he dared to come, he would tell him that he would never return.

As for the court... Liu Bu didn't care much at all. By then, the court would be in chaos. Will he still care about guarding the lower door and fighting together?

Liu Zeqing didn't know that Liu Bu showed his enemy as weak, so he wanted to lure the snake out of the cave. He thought that the Liu family had a problem now and wanted to take advantage of his illness to take his life, so he was complacent.

The Liu family in the battle in southern Liaoning caused a sensation in the world, making their prestige reach its peak. However, as their war reports were reported, their reputation began to decline. Some people had already rated them as the world's number one strong army, but seeing that they were beaten so badly by Jiannu, it was a bit of an exaggeration to say that they were the world's number one strong army, so no one gave them such high praise, but they still rated it as one of the four major iron armies of the Ming Dynasty.

The four major iron armies are naturally the first in Guanning Iron Cavalry, the second in Tianxiong Army, and the third in Hong Chengchou's Qin Army, followed by Liu Bu's Liu family army. These four armies are all one of the famous armies of the Ming Dynasty. They played a mainstay in the stormy Ming Dynasty.

Especially a few days ago, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and others organized a large army to fully encircle and suppress the bandits in the northwest. His subordinate, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, set up an ambush in Ziwu Valley and defeated the bandit Gao Yingxiang. Not only did he defeat his main force, he also captured Gao Yingxiang alive. This battle caused a sensation in the world.

You should know that in terms of seniority, Gao Yingxiang's seniority is even higher than Zhang Xianzhong. When Zhang Xianzhong was desperate, he had to surrender to Gao Yingxiang. Gao Yingxiang was also the leader among the bandits. He was well-deserved as the leader. More than a dozen bandits recommended him as the King of Chuang. He was recognized as one of the top giant bandits. He actually ambushed the Ming army in Ziwu Valley, and his entire army was wiped out. He was captured alive. This hit the bandits and also raised the prestige of the court, which made Emperor Chongzhen breathe a sigh of relief. It was not in vain that he had spent countless money and food to surround the enemy and chase them.

As early as the Three Kingdoms period, when Zhuge Liang went out to the north to attack the Qishan Mountains, the Five Tiger General Wei Yan proposed the famous Ziwu Valley Strategy Theory.

A general was sent to lead 10,000 elite troops to quickly arrive in Chang'an from Ziwu Valley and seize Chang'an and Tongguan in one fell swoop, but Zhuge Liang denied it, thinking that this plan was too risky and weird, and that if there was a setback, he would definitely go but not return.

After Gao Yingxiang started his career, he has been riding all over the world for seven years, with almost no defeat.

They were surrounded and intercepted by the army of several provinces commanded by Hong Chengchou, especially by Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong army. They were particularly embarrassed and in a difficult situation. Gao Yingxiang led his army to set off from Hanzhong and planned to march into Shaanxi and seize Xi'an. However, Gao Yingxiang, who was unlucky, met the new Shaanxi Governor Sun Chuanting. The two sides fought for a long time and the war was in a stalemate.

Because Gao Yingxiang is an authentic Shaanxi native, he is very familiar with Ziwu Valley Road. As a leader, Gao Yingxiang has also read several books. At this time, he remembered the strange strategy of Ziwu Valley by Wei Yan, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms. He knew that if he raided from this small road, he could go directly to Xi'an. As long as the plan was successful, he could occupy Shaanxi in one fell swoop.

If Chang'an is captured, it will be called Emperor Ming, and his chin will be frightened. Even if he can't defeat Xi'an, he will be scared to death.

That's it! Gao Yingxiang punched the tea table, and the tea jumped out. Seeing that the King of Chuang had made up his mind, everyone agreed to take the risk and broke through the siege.

Gao Yingxiang made up his mind and decided to take a gamble. He personally led an army of 50,000 into the Ziwu Valley path, but the man's calculations were not as good as the heaven's calculations. He did not expect that the road in Ziwu Valley was too difficult to walk, and he caught the heavy rain in the sky, making people and horses exhausted and morale depressed. They walked for fifteen days before they reached the north entrance of Ziwu Valley and reached the black waters. As long as they crossed here, they would be half successful.

Gao Yingxiang led his army to Longting, which is a larger settlement on Ziwu Road. Wugu, north-south, is about 330 kilometers long, starting from Chang'an in the north, in the south, and in the Qinling Mountains in the south, and ending in Shiquan County in the south; the northern exit is called Zikou, and the southern exit is called Wukou, which is the origin of Ziwukou.

Ziwu Valley has cliffs and countless plank roads. The reason for its danger lies in the Qinling Mountains. The Qinling Mountains are also called Zhongnan Mountains. The mountain is high in the west and low in the east, and is a watershed between the two major basins of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. Ziwu Valley is surrounded by it, and the steep mountains and harsh paths can be imagined. Therefore, the military strategists sigh that the Qinling Mountains are the king.

Longting is located at the intersection of Chuandao in Yang County, the easternmost end of the Hanzhong Plain. It is hilly and mountainous in the east, and the west is the Hanzhong Plain area. However, there are two Ziwu Roads. Whether to follow the new Ziwu Road or the old Ziwu Road, from the distance, the Qinlingliang in the old Zizi is dangerous, and Huangjin Gorge is adjacent to the Suolong Pass, and the Tiecheng Guard is guarded by heavy troops.

The new Ziwu Road passes through three altitude points, namely the Great Turning Bend of the Golden Gorge, Pingheliang and Qinling Liang. The new line crosses one mountain less than the old line, and the Pingheliang terrain is relatively flat, so Gao Yingxiang decided to walk the new Ziwu Road.

Then the army was blocked when it reached Sanhe Pass. Sanhe Pass was the confluence of Sanhekou Village, Daheba Township, Foping County, where the Puhe River, Wenshui River and Jiaoxi River confluence were at the Sanhekou Dam. Sanhe Pass refused to surrender. Most of the people in Sanhe Pass had surnames Chen, and they were all servants. With one call, the walls of the pass were all made of stones. The terrain was very advantageous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The place where Sanhe River confluenced, the rivers were crisscrossed, swamps were everywhere, and the army was difficult to unfold.

Gao Yingxiang led his troops to attack for four days before breaking through the pass, but Sanhe Pass sent people to send a letter of help to Sun Chuanting, who was training troops in Xi'an.

At this time, it was less than three months since Sun Chuanting took office, and the army in his hand was only 3,000 people who had left Beijing. After receiving the documents for help, he decided to send people to Hong Chengchou and Lu Xiangsheng for help immediately. On the other hand, he sent people to continue to explore Gao Yingxiang's next route of advance, preparing to wait for Hong Chengchou's army to capture the thief head together.

After receiving Sun Chuanting's request for help, Hong Chengchou immediately led a large army to Xi'an for rescue and sent He Renlong as the vanguard.

Sun Chuanting joined He Renlong's troops and went to Xi'an. He expected Gao Yingxiang to walk on this road, so he personally led 10,000 elite troops to wait for work and set up an ambush. He had been waiting for a long time.

Their enemies met and said nothing, and they slashed them with swords. As soon as the war started, the bandits were defeated, and in the end, Gao Yingxiang's army was surrounded.

The famous general Sun Chuantingzhen was not an idiot. He ordered his men to raise a white flag and divide and disintegrate the enemy with a red flag. Those who are willing to surrender can go to the Baiqi and those who are willing to fight to go to the Hongqi to die.

This trick to dismantle the enemy was indeed useful. Although Gao Yingxiang fought bravely in Heishuiyu, he was eventually defeated and his entire army was wiped out.

Sun Chuanting, who was the first governor of Shaanxi, was mainly to eliminate bandits. Sun Chuanting seemed to be Gao Yingxiang's nemesis. After Sun Chuanting took office, he reorganized the army, recruited township warriors in Yulin Town, and formed the Qin army.

This army only went to the battlefield after a short training, but showed strong combat effectiveness and became an elite force as famous as Guanning Iron Cavalry and other people. Moreover, Sun Chuanting made up his mind to stabilize the situation in Shaanxi and resume production. His first task was to eliminate bandits.

But an unexpected situation occurred. This was the army that Sun Chuanting had briefly trained, which actually burst out with powerful combat power, which was comparable to Gao Yingxiang and his elite army of battle-prone bandits. Both sides killed a dark and dark near Ziwu Valley.

Gao Yingxiang's army was originally a stray dog. They were driven away by people. Now they were desperate and thought about taking risks. But they were unlucky. They encountered heavy rain and were short of food. As a result, they were caught off guard by Sun Chuanting's army.

Gao Yingxiang's army was dispersed by the other side several times. After finally gathering, they were all dispersed by Sun Chuanting. Later, Gao Yingxiang and his main force were separated and walked into a cave with more than a dozen subordinates. As a result, the Ming army who was chased to find him and captured him alive.

Gao Yingxiang's capture of life gave a fatal blow to this army. The bandit army was still fighting hard because the commander was still there, but because Gao Yingxiang's capture of life, they immediately lost their morale. This army of 50,000 people either surrendered or fled into the mountains. Those who fled into the mountains included Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai, etc.
