Chapter 64: Letter from Home

Lao Du Youyun: "The beacon fire lasted for three months, and the family letter was worth 10,000 dollars." ”

And Gao Yigong and Mrs. Gao are separated, not to mention March. The various things that happened in it can be summed up in the word "beacon fire". Gao Yigong asked around for news of Mrs. Gao, but he could only get some ambiguous news. Who can know if it's true or false.

At this moment, I just saw Mrs. Gao's words, and I didn't read the content of the letter, and I couldn't help it.

When I opened it, I saw that it read: "My nephew is fine, and he doesn't think about me." After Jiashen separated, but more than a year, but everything was troubled, things were wrong, although I was the wife of the Li family, but also the daughter of the Gao family. The death of your uncle, but the grievances of the elders, do not implicate you. A woman is a man who does not know anything about military affairs, and what you do is not worrying about me. The only way to do this is to cherish oneself and preserve one's body. ”

The letter is not long, and I have read it many times, but I still can't put it down.

When he saw that there were a lot of ink spots at the end of the letter, he understood that his aunt actually had a thousand words to say, but what this letter was used for, she naturally knew that it was not an ordinary family letter, and these naturally could not be written more.

But even so, there is a hint of the intention of Gao Yigong to surrender.

This made Gao Yigong even more sad in his heart.

If there is anyone in the world who wants to avenge Li Zicheng more than Li Guo, it is Mrs. Gao.

Mrs. Gao and Li Zicheng have supported each other for more than ten years, is the relationship not as deep as Li's nephew? It's just that Mrs. Gao thinks more.

Xia Chao treated her well, not just for her as a surviving person. Rather, it was to break into the remnants of the camp. If she does something, it will affect not only what she knows, but also more children who break into the camp, including Gao Yigong and Li Guo.

Mrs. Gao's attitude towards the cooperation of the Xia Dynasty, in fact, is the premise of Zhang Xuan's recruitment of Gao Yigong, if Mrs. Gao and the Xia Dynasty are incompatible, there is no room for relaxation between the camp and Cao Ying, and Zhang Xuan does not want to do this.

The dead die, and the living live.

Gao Yigong also understands that what Li Zicheng did in Xiangyang was too inauthentic. Luo Rucai killed Li Zicheng when he was dying, and he didn't say anything to blame.

Gao Yigong pondered this letter for a long time, and it seemed that he had to figure out all the feelings of Mrs. Gao when he wrote this letter before he put it down.

Ma Guangyu said: "General, I am thirsty for talent in Daxia. Zheng Guogong told me that as long as the general is willing to surrender, Zheng Guogong guarantees that you will be on an equal footing with him, and at least the position of Guogong will be sealed. In the current situation, the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty is not good at all, even if the general does not think about himself, he must think about his brothers. ”

"The brothers have been fighting for half their lives,

Nothing was caught, and now as long as the Xia Dynasty surrendered, generals at all levels wanted to fight, they could fight on the battle array, fight for a wife, don't want to fight, and the army also has a field, you can go home to live a small life of wife and children hot kang. It can be regarded as an explanation to the big guys. ”

"And Mrs. Gao is waiting for you in Wuchang. Don't you want to reunite with Mrs. Gao, General? ”

Gao Yigong was already a little moved when he heard what Ma Guangyu said, if Ma Guangyu came in before Wen Anzhi, maybe he would agree to come down. And now he had to fall into deep thought. He wasn't worried that there was a problem with the conditions offered by Zhang Xuan.

Gao Yigong believes in the credit of the Xia Dynasty, but many things are outside of credit. What Wen Anzhi said was like a thorn in his heart, he didn't think about it before, he didn't care much about it, but he couldn't get around it at the moment, and when he thought about it, he felt more and more that he couldn't pull it out.

"Thank you Zhang Xuan for your kindness on my behalf." Gao Yigong said.

Ma Guangyu was taken aback, he didn't know why Gao Yigong chose this way, he just said how the people below were, and there was already a faint sense of forcing the palace inside. I didn't dare to say cruel words again, for fear of backlash, and Gao Yigong still had some prestige in Ma Guangyu's heart. He said: "General, Zheng Guogong also asked me to bring you a few words of truth. Cao Ying's annexation of the rest of the camp is the trend of the times, and the world's righteous army is gathered in one, which is also irrevocable, and Cao Ying, in order to appease the heart of the camp army, must select one or two generals in the camp and enter the high-level of Cao Ying. ”

"This position was originally Li Guo."

But Li Guo was stubborn. General Gao only has the past, and he must have a position of real power, and there are many old brothers below to support him. Wouldn't it be much, much better than here? If it takes a long time and this position is settled, although the title of the Duke of Guo still exists, I don't know how much real power there is. ”

Gao Yigong listened to Ma Guangyu's words, but not wavered. On the contrary, he strengthened his mind.

Because Gao Yigong's words of Ma Guangyu and Wen Anzhi's words are mutually referential. If he is becoming the representative of the group of people in the Cao camp, then there is a high probability that Gao Yigong has been in the Privy Council of the Xia Dynasty, and there is no chance to go out at all.

It wasn't what he wanted.

If he could, Gao Yigong even wanted to make some cuts with the remnants of the camp. After all, if you want to go out as a general, the most important thing is not whether there is power behind you, but whether you can get the trust of the above. Although breaking into the camp can support Gao Yigong's status in the Xia Dynasty, it may not be possible to break into the camp after success and defeat in the future.

"Needless to say." Gao Yigong got up and said, "I still remember that His Majesty met me in Changsha and gave me this sword. He held the sword in both hands and said, "Faith is a great grace, and it is difficult to repay it without teeth." Therefore, it doesn't matter how many grievances there are between me and the officials and soldiers

, with His Majesty in one day, I am a minister of His Majesty. Brother Ma, what do you want to do, I won't stop you, but what I want to do, you can't stop it, thank you for bringing the letter home, I won't send it far, I'll wait for the sword soldiers to meet in the future. ”

As soon as Gao Yigong's words fell, Wen Anzhi's expression relaxed.

If it is possible, Wen Anzhi is not willing to persuade Gao Yigong with such a statement, but the current situation is really not too good, but a few days from Changde, bad news one after another, first He Tengjiao was defeated, the thief army went straight to Changsha City, and Li Guo's department collapsed, and the party Shousu died in battle.

This is one bad news after another, that is, old ministers like Wen Anzhi are worried in their hearts. Even in the Chang German army, there may not have been no changes. After all, a large number of Hunan gentry can participate in the Changde army, for these Hunan gentry.

It never matters who you owe allegiance, what matters is to preserve your family business.

Someone may die for the Ming Dynasty in his personal capacity, but it does not prevent his family descendants from serving the new dynasty.

Therefore, after two consecutive battles, the collapse of the 100,000-strong army brought panic, even the Ming army itself could not avoid it, and Wen Anzhi didn't know how to convince it, and the lower levels of the loyal battalion almost had to be connected in series. He understands very well that even if Gao Yigong is unwilling, once the loyal battalion soldiers reach a consensus, Gao Yigong may not be suppressed or disobeyed.

At this moment, no matter what, Gao Yigong has determined his position, even though Gao Yigong's department may not be able to fight well due to various internal reasons, but the existence of Gao Yigong's department itself has restrained a lot of troops in the Xia army.

This is the only thing Wen Anzhi can do.

Ma Guangyu's face stiffened, he didn't know what he was doing wrong, it was obviously a matter of nine out of ten, he just had a problem, his eyes swept over Wen Anzhi, and said secretly: "It must be this old man who is doing something bad." For a moment, he remembered something in his heart, and said secretly: "If the soft one doesn't work, the hard one will come." ”

What Ma Guangyu thought of was hard, it was nothing else, that is, he took Wen Anzhi's head and saw how Gao Yigong explained to Changsha.

Ma Guangyu pressed his hand on the knife. was about to draw the knife, but he felt a chill under his neck, and he suddenly didn't dare to make a mistake.

Gao Yigong's long sword went straight to Ma Guangyu's neck and said, "Brother Ma, don't finish the trick under my nose." This time, looking at the face of the old man, I will spare you, and next time it will not be so easy to speak. Take it down. ”

"Yes." Immediately, two guards forcibly pressed Ma Guangyu down.

Gao Yigong returned the sword into the sheath.

Don't look at Gao Yigong and Ma Guangyu, they can be regarded as second-generation backgrounds. But Ma Guangyu is far worse than Gao Yigong. Ma Guangyu's ability cannot be compared with Gao Yigong at all. If he succeeds, Gao Yigong can be killed with a piece of tofu.
