Guo Chen bowed his order and went down to let Liu Qing inform them. After a while, he climbed up the city and asked a little nervously: "Master Zhou, I wonder where the army of General Zhou is now?"

Zhou Bin smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry! County Magistrate Guo and General Chen took only 500 cavalry to recover Xi County, Queshan, Ruyang and other key places. All the prefectures and counties of Runing Prefecture have expressed their support. Now the two battalions of soldiers led by Pei Guerrilla have advanced from the east to Xiangcheng, and are moving westward with unstoppable momentum. Our troops have already gained the upper hand in southern Henan, and the Manchus have lost their hearts. Do you think that this southern Henan can be taken back by them?"

Guo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good!"

Zhou Bin glanced at Guo Chen and said, "Mr. Guo County Magistrate, I have submitted your contribution to Lord Gu. After this matter, you can go to Runing Prefecture, and the Gwangju magistrate is yours."

Guo Chen was stunned for a moment, then said with gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness."

Zhou Bin waved his hand, "This is what you deserve. By the way, have you put all the things I gave you?"

Guo Chen said: "Don't worry, sir, you have put them in those meat pies. sir, are those poisons?"

Zhou Bin curled his lips and smiled: "Have you ever seen such a big bag of poison?"

"That's it?"

"Croton, Croton ground into powder."

Ashan led two thousand infantry and cavalry out of Xiangcheng and headed towards Yancheng. After walking thirty miles, he suddenly encountered hundreds of cavalry intercepted him. He sent cavalry from the army forward, hoping to fight with him, and then fight again after the subsequent infantry caught up.

But as soon as the enemy cavalry contacted, they took the initiative to retreat. There were less than 200 cavalry of Ashan and they did not dare to chase them too far. However, as soon as the pursuit stopped, the enemy cavalry forced them up again.

Just chased me and stopped me, and lasted for nearly two hours. The trouble made Ashan and his soldiers very angry and exhausted.

Ashan had no choice but to order a suspension of march and rest.

After the end, continue to move.

But after less than two quarters of an hour of travel, everyone, including Ashan, felt pain in their abdomen. Many soldiers felt a heat current rushing down before they took off their pants.

Regardless of the formation, many soldiers started to get diarrhea when they ran to the side of the road, and the smell was full of smell.

At this time, hundreds of enemy cavalry suddenly rushed over.

This time, the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, and it was instantly swept away. The Qing army was killed in the first round of attacks, and the remaining people fled and surrendered, completely losing the will to resist.

Ashan covered his aching abdomen and didn't care about the chill in his crotch, running towards Xiangcheng all the way. At this moment, there were only more than twenty riders left by him.

Seeing Xiangcheng right in front of him, Ashan's eyes lit up and he shouted: "Hurry, open the door quickly."

Guo Chen's head flashed out from the city wall, "It's General Ashan! Wait for a moment, and the official will open the door for you now."

After saying that, Guo Chen turned his head, his eyes full of viciousness. With a wave of his hand, hundreds of archers suddenly appeared beside him. He held the bow and arrows and shot with a string.

Before Ashan could react, he was hit by several arrows and died on the ground. Most of the more than 20 personal guards he brought back were killed and injured.

The remaining few people who were still alive fled to see that the situation was wrong.

Not long after, Chen Wangxin led hundreds of horses to arrive, with two or three heads tied to each horse. Time was too urgent, so he did not leave any living this time.

Zhou Bin went out to greet him and reported on the situation in the city.

Chen Wangxin left behind a thousand general and dozens of cavalrymen, asking him to reorganize the soldiers in the city. Guo Chen was appointed as the governor of Guangzhou, but he temporarily served as the governor of Xiangcheng before the arrival of the new county magistrate.

After arranging all this and having a full meal, Chen Wangxin led his troops to leave without any stop.

But before leaving, Chen Wangxin followed Zhou Bin's advice and took Guo Chen's brother-in-law Liu Qing, and more than a hundred people who could ride horses in the city in the name of Congzheng.

In Yancheng, Chen Wangxin and Pei Shouzheng, who arrived, joined forces and defeated the Qing army reinforcements from Xuzhou.

There, Chen Wangxin divided the army.

Chen Wangxin led one of the infantry and all the cavalry to continue to go north, regaining Linying and entering the core area of ​​the Qing army in southern Henan, Xuzhou.

Pei Shouzheng led two teams of thousands of people to Xiangcheng westward to master this important transportation site and a place to hoard food and supplies.

The last remaining 1,000-man team followed Gu Yanwu south and entered Ruyang to stabilize the newly occupied Runing Mansion.

What is surprising is that the five counties of Suiping, Xiping, Ye, Shangcai and Wuyang, which are on the edge of Nanyang, Kaifeng and Runing, are located around Zhou Xian’s hometown. They are also the recipients of Zhou Xian’s proposal to protect each other and prevent thieves. The gentry and people of the five counties have a natural favor towards Zhou Xianjun.

Officials from the five counties either took the initiative to surrender or killed the local area and sued them later, which quickly stabilized the five counties.

Not only that, the five counties, especially Wuyang, the hometown of Zhou Xian, not only provided a large amount of food, grass and military supplies, but also many rural brave men and young men came to join the army with their own weapons.

When Gu Yanwu headed south to Ruyang and passed by the local area, nearly 10,000 people had gathered, nearly ten times the strength of his troops.

In addition to being overjoyed, Gu Yanwu selected two thousand people and asked them to go south with him. He accepted all the original officials and generals and asked them to continue to perform their duties as their original positions.

However, when he left, he left some general flags and generals, asking them to assist the generals in reorganizing the village warriors to protect the place.

Since then, the entire southeastern Henan has almost completely been under the control of Zhou Xian's army, and Chen Wangxin's advance has temporarily reported this. By this time, Zhou Xian had sent troops for less than seven days.

Compared with the smooth progress in southeastern Henan, the advancement in Guide Mansion is a bit strange.

Bao Jing was in the border area between Guide Prefecture and Huainan. Zhou Xian crossed the river. He was one of the first Qing generals to get the news except Liu Liangzuo, and immediately returned the news to Boluo.

Boluo's order to Bao Jing was to return to the Ding family's entrance immediately and meet with the army.

But Bao Jing saw Zhou Xian galloping westward and his side was temporarily safe. Thinking that he had never dared to rob and was very wealthy Yongcheng, he would soon fall into the enemy.

He made up his mind and issued an order to loot Yongcheng.

Just as Bao Jing was robbing the fun in the city, Liu Wenxiu led 3,000 cavalrymen to kill. He didn't give them a chance to regret it, so he started killing directly.

Bao Jing's men were originally a group of thieves, so they were sent to rob him by Boluo. Apart from bullying ordinary people, no bird use is useful. At this moment, they were scattered in various places in the city and were completely dispersed by Liu Wenxiu before they even finished the assembly.
