Qin Liangyu was in Luoyang to contain Li Zicheng's main force and could not move.
Lu Daqi led his troops to attack Wuguan, but was unable to move.
Yuan Jixian is stationed in Huguang. Although he can move, it is better not to move.
Zhang Xianzhong simply fled into the mountains instead of dying.
He could come back at any time!
After thinking about it, he thought of Wen Anzhi.
The last commander-in-chief of the Southern Ming Dynasty in history, a man who did what he knew was impossible.
The Wen Anzhi in history failed, but the Wen Anzhi here has not failed.
Chongzhen planned to give him a chance.
A chance to prove yourself.
Chongzhen had another consideration in appointing Wen Anzhi as governor.
Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang were surrendered bandits, and the Ming officials and generals looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts.
Wen Anzhi has the ability to ease the conflict between them.

This Ming army was composed of four parts.
Li Dingguo had 5,000 soldiers and horses in the Tianwei Camp, and 5,000 surrendered bandits.
Ten thousand Sichuan troops and ten thousand Chu troops led by Yuan Jixian.
Before the army moves, food and supplies must be sent ahead.
Under Wen Anzhi's arrangement, the prefectures and counties along the way not only prepared food and fodder in advance, but also temporarily produced a batch of weapons and armor for use.
Sun Kewang looked at the piles of food and fodder in front of him, his eyes moistened: "After so many years of fighting, this is the first time I have encountered a situation where food is delivered to my mouth."
Li Dingguo also sighed: "Yes, no wonder they all want to be government soldiers."
