At this moment, Azig received a letter asking for help from the prefect of Henan Prefecture.
The letter pointed out that the Huguang Ming army had moved north to capture Kaifeng and might threaten western Henan at any time.
For the safety of Henan Prefecture, Cui Hong, the prefect, begged Azig to send an army to rescue.
Azige was surprised and happy.
He was shocked that the Ming army would launch an offensive against Henan at the same time, and most of Henan would be taken away in an instant.
He was happy that he finally had a high-sounding reason to abandon Guanzhong.
In order to rescue the Qing army in western Henan, he must abandon Guanzhong This decision was made without any psychological barriers.
Azig immediately gathered his troops, took away the gold and silver, and left Xi'an overnight.
He still has 70,000 to 80,000 people in his hands, which is not much, but it is still a lot.
Such a large army naturally made a lot of noise along the way.
When the people saw it, they stayed away.
Although the Tatars are now on the run, ordinary people like them cannot afford to offend a skinny camel that is bigger than a horse.
It's better to do less than to do more.
They don't want to get themselves into trouble.
Azig led his troops to gallop through the starry night and soon arrived at Tongguan.
Tongguan is the gateway to Xi'an and even the entire Guanzhong Plain, and its geographical location is very important.
But now Azig no longer had any desire to fight, so he ordered all the soldiers guarding Qitong Pass to abandon the pass.
Azig marched quickly without stopping until he reached Luoyang before he breathed a sigh of relief.
Cui Hong, the prefect of Henan Prefecture, was completely despairing and was ready to hang himself.
I never thought that Azig would personally lead an army to help.
He couldn't believe his eyes for a while until he saw Azig who was a little tired.
Cui Hong knelt down in front of Azig and kissed the toe of the Qing prince's shoe.
Although Azig felt a little disgusted, he couldn't say much and just asked Cui Hong to get up quickly.
After marching in a hurry, his troops and horses were exhausted.
He then ordered Cui Hong to arrange barracks and accommodation for the army.
Cui Hong wanted to tell Azig a few words about the current situation in Henan, but he had to give up when he saw Azig's appearance.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
However, it is said that after Wen Anzhi led his troops to successfully enter the city of Xi'an, he immediately sent a good news to the Nanjing court.
The recovery of Xi'an was a major event for the Ming army.
So far, Guanzhong has been recovered.
Although Shaanxi is a barren land, its geographical location is extremely important.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that those who win the Guanzhong will win the world.
Now that the Ming army has regained Guanzhong, it has taken another steady step towards ZTE.
Although Wen Anzhi was not from Shaanxi, most of the former Shunjun generals were.
They thought they would never have the chance to set foot on their hometown again in this life, but they never expected that their wish would come true so soon.
I really have to thank Governor Wen and Emperor Sheng for this.
If not for them, how could they have forced Azig to abandon the city and flee.
The only regret is that there is not much food in Xi'an.
But this was also expected by the Ming army.
Because if Azig had sufficient food, he would not have given up Guanzhong so easily.
The Ming army did not rush to pursue further but instead stabilized the defenses of the recovered prefectures and counties to prevent the Qing army from counterattacking.
The situation is now very good for the Ming army, and they have no reason to be anxious.
It should be the Qing army that should be anxious.
At the same time, the Zhongzhen Battalion was killing everyone in Henan.
Li Guo and Gao Yigong were already strong men, and under the guidance of Du Yinxi, they showed their full strength.

Nowadays, the whole of Henan except Henan Prefecture and Huaiqing Prefecture are still in the hands of the Qing army, and the rest have been recovered by Li Guo and Gao Yigong.
As for the army led by Gao Jie, they were inextricably killed by the Qing army on the battlefield in North Zhili.
Wu Sangui, who was stationed in Zhending Mansion, seemed to be under the control of the Qing court, and Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming were even more murderous.
They all knew that they could no longer retreat, so they fought with the Ming army with real swords and guns.
The fierce battle on the frontal battlefield created space for Zheng Chenggong.
He was able to command the Ming navy to continuously raid the Tianjin Wei coast.
The defenders stationed at Tianjin Guard were annoyed, but there was nothing they could do.
Zheng Chenggong's playing style is very similar to Mao Wenlong back then.
This attitude of harassment but no decisive battle drove the Qing army crazy.
There is no good news, but there is constant bad news.
Shengjing issued an urgent report that the North Korean army was heading towards Shenyang.
Although the combat effectiveness of North Korea's army is not very good, the problem is that there are not many defenders in Shenyang now.
Under such circumstances, the generals who stayed in Shengjing were really not sure of guarding this place of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty.
Dorgon was under tremendous pressure and was on the verge of collapse.
Shaanxi fell and Henan fell.
The only areas controlled by the Qing army were Shanxi and Beizhili.
Even the old nest may be taken over by the North Koreans.
Is this really all a coincidence?
Or is it that there is God’s will in the dark?
But Dorgon was still struggling to support himself.
Because he knew that if he fell, no one in the Qing Dynasty would be able to stand up.
Until a piece of news reached the capital, Dorgon fainted.
The news came from Shanxi, and Jiang Yang, the general of Datong, rebelled.
His counterattack was not in a hurry, and he happened to be stuck shortly after the fall of Shaanxi.
It can only be said that he had a plan in advance.
After Dorgon was revived by the imperial doctor, he felt like he was betrayed by everyone.
Who else can he count on now, who else can he trust?
It was as if everyone in the world was failing him.
This time Dorgon really couldn't hold on any longer.
He couldn't afford to fall ill.
Although he was not dead yet, he was breathing a sigh of relief and might return to the West at any time.
There were internal and external troubles within the Qing court, and voices advocating abandoning the customs and returning to the outside became increasingly louder.
The representative of this group is Daishan.
Daishan has a mature and prudent character, and believes that retreating outside the customs is the most appropriate choice under the current circumstances.
If we continue to die in the pass, we will probably be dragged to death by the Ming army.
After all, the Manchu women are from a small tribe, and it is impossible to defeat the Ming army through exhaustion.
But Dorgon disagreed.
Although he was seriously ill, he did not die.
Since he did not die, he still had to be responsible to the Qing Dynasty.
The current situation in the world is no longer when Huang Taiji was in power.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the warriors corrupted very quickly.
It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
The reason why the Qing army had the advantage in fighting the Ming army was because it could endure hardship.
But after entering the customs, they got used to the luxurious life of wine ponds and meat forests.
Now it is absolutely impossible for them to return to the bitter cold land of Liaodong.

Dorgon knew very well that if he retreated outside the customs, it would be impossible to defend Liaodong, and it would be nothing more than chronic death.
Therefore, he firmly advocated a decisive battle with the Ming army in North Zhili.
If you win, there is still hope for a comeback.
If you lose, it may be God's will.
Manchus grew up on horseback and never knew how to write the word "fear".
Let's make this battle more intense
