Chapter Eighty-Six

Gao Yigong was on the hillside, looking at the busy Xia Jun below from a distance, and he couldn't vent his anger, and said secretly: "It's just bullying me for not having a cannon." ”

Indeed, if Gao Yigong has a Hongyi cannon, he can directly bombard the camp of the Duxia army if he fires it here.

It's just that the artillery that broke into the camp has never been rich, not to mention, he has been defeated all the way and lost almost all the firearms, and those artillery that moves hundreds of pounds or thousands of pounds are in the first sequence of loss. Although he fought some victories in southern Shaanxi, he had some loot. But the Hongyi cannon is not something that exists.

Gao Yigong looked at it for a while, returned to the tent, looked at Li Guo and said, "This Yunyang can't be beaten anymore." ”

Li Guo did not speak. It's just silence.

Although Li Zicheng regarded Li Guo as a person of the same generation as Zhang Xuan, in fact, Li Guo was much older than Zhang Xuan, almost ten years younger.

Li Guo was cultivated by Li Zicheng, and after 14 years of Chongzhen, he gradually became a general who stood alone. It's not that he hasn't failed, but he hasn't been played with in applause like this, and at the beginning, Li Guo couldn't accept this fact. But at this moment, Li Guo has already faced reality.

He's reviewing.

It's just that he thinks about it, and his brain hurts when he thinks about it, but he doesn't know when he was targeted by Gao Doushu.

He had to admit that Li Guo could be regarded as a veteran general when he was marching and fighting. But these tricks, he is not the opponent of some civilian bigwigs at all.

He regretted it at the moment, and said secretly: "If I knew this, he should have contributed." ”

"What do you think about the current situation?" Gao Yigong said: "This Yunyang can't be beaten, and the food in the camp is limited, this Yunyang mountain area can't be stayed, otherwise everyone will run out, if you don't speak, I will do it according to my own will." ”

Li Guo sighed and kept the dark thoughts of failure in his heart.

Even if he doesn't want to admit it, he has determined one thing in this failure, that is, among the remnants of the camp, he has a leading position of high merit.

Even though the two parties are relatives, they are friends. But it should also be divided into a high and low.

Before, Li Guo could also use the prestige left by Li Zicheng to contend with the strength of his troops, why Li Guo was bent on taking Yunyang City, was to make a meritorious contribution and let the rest of the Western Route Army obey him Li Guo, but now the plan is all bankrupt.

Li Guo said: "Brother Gao, please rest assured, I have already arranged a path, that is, to defect to the imperial court. ”

Although now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Ming Dynasty cannot be revived, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years still has a legacy. If ordinary people only say the word court, they generally do not mean that it is the Qing court, nor the Daxia court, nor the Daxi court

The imperial court, but the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

Gao Yigong frowned and said, "How is it possible?" We have a deep enmity with the Zhu family. ”

"How could it be?" Li Guo said: "We killed Chongzhen Lao'er, but the current emperor is not Chongzhen's son, but the Tang King of Nanyang, you must know that it was Cao Ying who attacked Nanyang, I still remember that Zhang Xuan killed a small county lord, counting, not the current emperor's own sister, but also a cousin." He and the Luo family have a deep enmity like the sea. ”

"To put it mildly, without us, he might not have been able to get to this position."

"Besides, it wasn't me who sent it to the door, but someone from the imperial court."

Gao Yigong said: "Who? ”

Li Guo said: "Wen Anzhi, old man Wen. He seems to be the newly sealed inspector of the little emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty. At this moment, he is in the army, and he has promised that as long as we lead the troops to surrender, Longwu will accept it. ”

"This ----" Gao Yigong was a little moved, but he was still a little hesitant.

How many years did Li Zicheng fight with the official army, it can be said that no matter how difficult it was, he didn't say a single word of surrender, but now the official army is so broken, but he has demoted the official army, to be honest, Gao Yigong is a little unwilling. Gao Yigong secretly said in his heart: "Why does Cao Cao want to kill King Chuang, if he doesn't kill King Chuang, it is a good choice to defect to Great Xia." ”

But he had such a mind, he could never say it in front of Li Guo.

Li Guo seemed to feel that Gao Yigong hesitated, and said: "There is an advantage to defecting to the imperial court, we have all dealt with the official army for a long time, and naturally we know that many generals in the official army are self-reliant, such as Zuo Liangyu, even if we go to the imperial court, we are just hanging a title, obeying orders, and fighting if we give money." When you recuperate, you can replace it. ”

Gao Yigong seemed to be moved, he didn't do it, and he didn't say no, but said: "Since Master Wen is in the army, please invite him to come over and see him." ”

Li Guo said: "Okay. I'll send someone to ask for it. ”

But after a while, Wen Anzhi arrived.

Wen Anzhi is now in his fifties, and he is bookish, which makes people think of the gentle and elegant gentleman's style.

The name of Wen'an is very early, and it is a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse. It's just that he didn't get promoted, but served in Nanjing Guozijian and has been teaching. However, during the Chongzhen period, Xue Guoguan was impeached. He was immediately dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown to live.

Wen Anzhi's hometown is in Yiling.

However, under the chaos of the soldiers, Wen Anzhi went back and forth to dodge, and he did not always Yiling. It's just that I've been active in western Hubei all the time, but I don't want to bump into Li Guo's hands.

Wen Anzhi did not come specifically to persuade Li Guo, but after he was caught by Li Guo, he had this thought. As for the title on his body, it was really sealed by Longwu, and after Longwu ascended the throne, many people were restored, including them

Wen Anzhi.

It was only because of the road that Wen Anzhi knew.

As for the surrender of Li Guo and others, it is not without basis. After Longwu ascended the throne, there was an amnesty, among which there was an anti-willingness to be loyal to the imperial court, and the previous sins were written off, and they never asked. In order to quickly increase his strength, Longwu also recruited many local bandits in Changsha. Some of them are the remnants of Zhang Xianzhong, who have done a lot of things to kill officials and rebel.

What will happen if you just break into the camp and get to Hunan? Wen Anzhi was a little worried, but he was still sure.

After all, the situation of the small court in the Southern Ming Dynasty was also somewhat sure in Wen An's heart. Even if it is not to the point of rushing to the doctor, but the shortage of troops is real, and whether the new soldiers recruited for a while can fight or not is still two words. How can it be compared to the remnants of the camp.

Whether the above wants to or not, we must face reality.

With this and confidence, Wen Anzhi didn't look a little cramped at all, and said: "General Gao, General Li." His Majesty had already heard of the names of the two generals, and knew that the two generals were the talents of the generals, and the thieves did not know talents, and wronged the two generals, as long as the two generals were willing to defect to the imperial court, the imperial court would definitely live up to the two generals. ”

Gao Yigong said: "How can you not live up to the law? ”

Wen Anzhi smiled slightly and said, "This official came this time, and he didn't think that he could make the two generals abandon the darkness and turn to the light. I can only guarantee that when the two generals arrive in Hunan, they will be able to lead their own armies and defend the king. As for the rest of the rewards, it depends on the meaning of the imperial court. ”

Gao Yigong said: "What should King Chuang say? ”

Wen Anzhi smiled and said, "Don't talk about it." This official recruited only two generals on behalf of the imperial court, and had nothing to do with King Chuang. ”

Wen'an's decision is impossible, and Li Zicheng is given a posthumous gift. It can only be done cold treatment. I don't know that the two of them are the remnants of Li Zicheng. After all, what Li Zicheng did forced Chongzhen to death. If Longwu gave Li Zicheng a posthumous gift, it would simply shake his political foundation.

This can be said to be a problem of Taoism.

The small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty is the inheritance of the Taoist system of the Ming Dynasty, and they themselves do not say that they are the Southern Ming, but the Ming Dynasty. And Cao Ying's Great Xia, of course, is in conflict with Li Zi, and their Taoism inherits the Taoism of Wang Jiayin and Gao Yingxiang. In order to illustrate the righteousness of Great Xia, it is necessary to praise the leaders of these peasant armies.

Even if Luo Rucai killed Li Zicheng, he couldn't change this, so Li Zicheng was able to get a posthumous title from Emperor Dashunzhuang.

Gao Yigong also understood this, he felt slightly uncomfortable in his heart, but Daxia couldn't vote, Zhang Xianzhong's situation was not very good, and the grudge between the Qing army and them was not shallow at all. The small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty is the only choice.

But Gao Yigong is willing to do it.

"Okay." Gao Yigong said: "It's just, how to cross the Yangtze River? ”
