Gao Yigong said: "Not necessarily. If there was really going to be a war, how could Wu Zheng send someone to contact him in advance? Wouldn't it be better to launch a surprise attack? ”

Li said: "That doesn't mean anything? Maybe it's just a suspicious ploy to let us down our guard. ”

Gao Yigong shook his head and said: "There's no need, you and I have heard of Wu Zheng's achievements in the past four years, and the army under his command is almost invincible and invincible...... If we really want to go to war, I'm afraid we don't have a ......good chance of winning. ”

"Hugh wants to grow the morale of others and destroy his own prestige!" Li Guo shouted loudly, "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming to cover the earth, our loyal battalion is not a paper paste, in the past four years, how many vicious battles have been fought, even the Qing army can't help us, and I am afraid that he is only 30,000 people?" ”

"But the Qing army can't help Wu Zheng." Gao Yigong said leisurely, "And after Wu Zheng recovered the Thirteen Mansions, the Qing army couldn't help him, but we, in the past four years, we have been defeated in consecutive battles, and the territory under our jurisdiction has been shrinking, and now the Qing army has entered Hubei, and it looks like it is about to be encircled." ”

Li Guo was cross-examined by Gao Yigong again and again, and couldn't help but be furious, "You shouldn't have received any benefits from Wu Zheng to come to speak for Wu Zheng, right?" ”

Gao Yigong was also angry, and pointed at Li Daodao, "Even if I talk about Wu Zheng, it's better than if you want to surrender." ”

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel.

Gao Guiying said arrogantly: "What are you arguing about? It's all a family, do you have to fight in the same room? ”

Li Guo and Gao Yigong both snorted and sat back.

Gao Guiying pointed at Li Guo and said, "He's also your uncle, so you can't understand some etiquette?" ”

He pointed to Gao Yigong and said, "You are an uncle, and you are embarrassed to worry about your nephew?" ”

Hearing that the two of them stopped talking, Gao Guiying said: "It's all for the way out of the loyal camp, and it's better to say everything than to hold it in your heart...... In this way, no conclusions will be made in advance, and Wu Zheng will go to Huanggang to listen to what he can say before making a decision. ”

……。

Huanggang, a restaurant where there is no shopkeeper or clerk.

Wu Zheng looked at the woman in front of him who was once a queen, but in fact, Gao Guiying's appearance was not outstanding.

It's not surprising that a widow from a poor family has such a high position after following Li Zicheng.

In history, this woman and Li Guo surrendered to the Qing army instead of cooperating with Longwu at the beginning, but Gao Yigong insisted on Lianming to resist the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, after deciding to join the Ming Dynasty to resist the Qing Dynasty, this woman took Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other troops to continue to compete with the Qing soldiers, which was still remarkable, and when the Qing army broke through Maolu Mountain, Gao Guiying and Li Laiheng set their families on fire.

After Li Zicheng's death, the remnants of the Dashun Army had two parts, east and west.

The first route is led by Hao Shaoqi, Liu Tichun, Ma Jinzhong and others.

The other route was led by Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo (Li Jin) and his brother-in-law Gao Yigong (Gao Guiying's younger brother).

These two parts of the army totaled about 450,000 troops, and marched towards the area of Huguang and Jingxiang.

Due to the sudden loss of the commander of the two parts of the army, and facing a dangerous situation, there was the pursuit of the Qing army in the north, and the blockage of He Tengjiao's official army in the west of the Ming Dynasty guarding Huguang.

Therefore, Hao Shaoqi and Li Jin, after defeating the Ming army's encirclement and suppression, decided to unite the Ming army and jointly resist the Qing army.

It's a pity that after the defeat of the attack on Hubei, the righteous army was divided, and some of them went to Shu with Hao Shaoqi, Liu Tichun, and Ma Jinzhong, while Li Jin and Gao Yigong were stationed in the area of Huguang and Jingxiang, with a total number of thirteen towns, which is the famous Jingxiang Thirteen Army in history.

When Wu Zheng looked at Gao Guiying and the three of them, the three of them were also looking at Wu Zheng.

However, there was a clear hostility in their eyes.

This is normal, Yixing's westward expedition is no longer a secret at this time, and the army is hoarded on the border of Huangzhou Mansion.

Still, there was a hint of consternation in their eyes.

Wu Zheng's reputation has been widely spread in the past four years, and it is a legend in itself to be able to take a corner of Shaoxing Mansion to the county king of Yixing Dynasty with a different surname who sits on the thirteen mansions.

But the three of them were still shocked by Wu Zheng's youth, yes, the age of Fang Cai and the crown is already a prince, this is not the ancestral shade, but the great fame that Shengsheng has made by his ability.

"The king of Huiji County invited me to meet this time, I don't know what the purpose is?"

"When the country was ruined and the family was ruined, and when the foreign invaded, Mrs. Zhenyi was able to lead the loyal battalion to fight against the Qing army for four years, and this king admired it in his heart."

Wu Zheng's gesture of goodwill made Gao Guiying, Gao Yigong and Li Guo on the side look a lot more relaxed, at least not so tense.

Li Guo said in a deep voice: "Since the king of the county admires, why do you still lead the army to force Huangzhou?" It is clear that the weasel is giving the chicken a New Year's greeting. ”

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "If this king is hostile to you and others, why did he only bring dozens of horsemen to the appointment?" ”

Li Guo was speechless for a while.

Gao Guiying stopped Li Guo from speaking again, and then said to Wu Zheng: "The power of the county king in eastern Zhejiang is like the sky, and the concubine body has often heard of it. If there is no county king to contain the Qing army in eastern Zhejiang, we will not be able to support it alone, and I am afraid that we will have to retreat westward. ”

Wu Zheng was a little surprised, Gao Guiying's words were beyond his expectations.

"Madame's words are serious."

But Gao Gui's English changed, "But the king of the county led the army to the west this time, I'm afraid this move will hurt you and me, and the tacit understanding between the well water of the two families will not violate the river water, right?" ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "What, do you think this king is here to attack you?" ”

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not." Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "If you want to attack you, why does this king have to go into danger himself?" ”

"What does the king of the county mean, you might as well say it clearly."

Wu Zheng said: "Co-optation! ”

Incorporated? Wu Zheng's words made Gao Guiying and the others stunned, and then laughed.

Li Guo smiled: "I'm afraid the king of the county didn't wake up, right?" Although the Yixing Dynasty occupies half of Nanzhili and eastern Zhejiang, but the number of troops is only 100,000, does the king of the county want to raise the troops of the Yixing Dynasty and pour out his pockets? Do you know how many people are in the camp? ”

Wu Zheng asked calmly, "How many people?" ”

"Three hundred thousand!" Li Guo said sharply.

Wu Zheng looked up to the sky haha, "300,000? General Li is probably talking about the number of people before the attack on Hubei three years ago, right? As far as the king knows, there are no more than 120,000 loyalists today. ”

Li Guo said angrily: "So what? 120,000 men are enough to easily repel your troops. ”

"It may not be as General Li thinks!" Wu Zheng said calmly.

"Then try it! Did you know that if you hadn't informed you beforehand, you would have been greeted by arrows and projectiles? Li Guo suddenly got up, pointed at Wu Zheng and said, "Detain you first, and then force your troops to retreat!" ”

Wu Zheng looked at Li Guo coldly, and then swept towards Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong.

"Madame and General Gao are also thinking about each other?"

Gao Guiying just listened to the side, silent.
