Gao Junshan only learned in November that Li Zicheng was ambushed by Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting in the southern plains of Tongguan, of course he knew that Li Zicheng would not die, and it was recorded in the history books that Li Zicheng was almost wiped out in the battle of Nanyuan in Tongguan, and only broke out with 18 cavalry and fled into Shangluo Mountain.

The Shuangxiong meeting recorded in the history books is that Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong met in Gucheng, and now Zhang Xianzhong is replaced by Gao Junshan, so the Shuangxiong will definitely be Li Zicheng and himself.

Gao Junshan just predicted that Li Zicheng would come to Gucheng to find him, anyway, whether Li Zicheng came or not, he would have to raise and fight back, and cooperate with Li Zicheng's military action, which would never waver. If Li Zicheng can't make a comeback, it will be difficult to turn the tables with the righteous army of Gao Junshan, and he knows it.

Just when Gao Junshan was waiting for Li Zicheng to come to the door, a blind fortune teller named Wang Youtian came to the barracks, this Wang Youtian was Zhang Dajing's doorman, and he was introduced by Zhang Dajing to see Gao Junshan.

Gao Junshan received this blind fortune teller in the camp, he was very happy to deal with these charlatans, anyway, he was bored, and wanted to hear what these Jianghu people could say.

"Master Wang, I heard that your calculations are very accurate, and you came to me today as a guest, even though you said it bluntly." Gao Junshan opened his mouth first.

"I am the famous Wang Tiekou, and I never flatter people casually." Wang Youtian said with a smile.

After Wang Youtian finished speaking, he began to pinch his fingers while muttering and calculating, and after a while, his face suddenly showed a look of surprise, he blinked his blind eyelids, recalculated for a while, and then pulled up Gao Junshan's left hand and touched it for a while, and said in surprise: "General Gao, you sit down, please bow to the grass people!" ”

After saying that, this blind man really bowed to the high mountain in a decent manner.

Gao Junshan deliberately teased him, posing as a beggar gang leader: "How is it?" Am I the life of a beggar gang leader? ”

"What a word! What a figure! The blind man whispered mysteriously and said, "I have been in the rivers and lakes for half my life, and I have never seen such a good character as General Gao!" ”

"I'm going to listen to you!"

Wang Youtian said mysteriously: "Never dare to deliberately flatter. If you want to know how to make the eight characters, please ask the general to retreat left and right. ”

After Gao Junshan waved back left and right, he urged: "Say it quickly!" ”

Wang Youtian said word by word: "It is unspeakably expensive! ”

"Why is it so expensive?"

"Heaven must not be divulged." Wang Youtian whispered.

Gao Junshan Xin said, paralysis, eating and drinking things, you don't say it! He gave the king five taels of silver, and sent him away.

The king left again, and Zhang Dajing came in a hurry.

Gao Junshan asked, "What is the Lord of the Prison Army?" ”

"Huguang Patrol has arrived at the boundary of Gucheng according to the Yushi Lin Mingqiu, and he wants to come to see General Gao." Zhang Dajing said eagerly.

"Why did he come all of a sudden?"

"I don't know."

Gao Junshan called Sun Kewang and ordered him to gather all the people and prepare to go out of the city to meet Lin Mingqiu, at this time, Tian Fang sent a letter from Li Zicheng, Gao Junshan didn't expect Li Zicheng to come to the door so early, he opened the letter and read:

Brother Junshan: Respect for physical health, cover the virtue of the world, be loyal, and the wind of the people, higher than benevolence. Heaven is dry, art is the only one, in virtue is rigid, and the system is pure. Now I heard that my brother fell into the enemy's treacherous schemes, and he held Tai'a and was controlled by others. Tired of guarding the valley city, it is not the original ambition. I want to go to the provinces at the beginning, and I am the head of the thirteen families, the hero of the heroes, who is not impressed by it, who is not praised by it. Today, we are tired of guarding the valley city, the soldiers have no fighting spirit, the sky is impermanent, the country is impermanent, the people are uncertain, the officials are not customized, the Dansu does not end the dynasty, and the merits and sins are not full of moon. Chongzhen is mediocre, chaotic in the government and the opposition, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and turns public into private. What is the ambition of the younger brother, does he spend his life in a stable? Self-contained, to worship the righteousness, the concept of people's livelihood, I would like to entrust me Huang Zu Weiling, respectfully punish the heavens, take the righteous words of Xuanzi, sue my people, and recruit me with virtue. If the younger brother can revive the banner of righteousness in Gucheng, he will not be alone. Resonate the power of the past, and the righteousness of the common people. After counting the sins of Chongzhen, rendering its **, removing its original evil, and creating a world of benevolence and righteousness.

After Gao Junshan read the letter, he knew that Li Zicheng would soon come to Gucheng to look for him, he was silent, put away Li Zicheng's letter, and went out of the east gate of Gucheng with Zhang Dajing, crossed the Hanshui from the Xianren Crossing Pontoon Bridge, walked east for more than an hour along the avenue leading to Xiangfan on the north bank of the Hanshui, and arrived at Banzhadian, which was fifty miles away from Gucheng.

Stationed in Banzhadian was a Zhenwu battalion in Gaojun Mountain, and the 3,000 horse infantry of the Zhenwu battalion had already lined up on both sides of the Xiangjiang River.

Dozens of large and small warships of the 300 naval army were docked on both sides of the river, each mast had a red flag waving, and on the bow and stern stood all the soldiers in full clothes, and the military appearance was very neat.

Sun Kewang's 200 cavalry guards lined up on the north bank of the Xiangjiang River, and all of them were on horseback and did not move.

Gao Junshan and Zhang Dajing were side by side under the big flag, waiting for Lin Mingqiu's fleet to come from downstream.

Lin Mingqiu's fleet was getting closer, with a total of seven big ships. The largest ship was in the center, and on the bow stood a few cronies wearing a folded head and a round-necked silk robe. Outside the cabin door, there are tiger head signs of "avoidance" and "silence" and various honor guards, as well as a pair of large official rank yarn lanterns.

Gao Junshan said in his heart, paralysis, the panache is not small!

Zhou Wenjiang stood on the bow of the small boat and saluted Lin Yushi's boat, and reported loudly: "The main general of the Gucheng garrison, Gao Junshan, greets him on the shore!" ”

There was a herald in a robe on the big ship, and after a while, the herald came out and said to Zhou Wenjiang: "The Lord has already known, please lead the way!" ”

Zhou Wenjiang turned around and commanded the boat to turn its head and lead the fleet to the shore.

After the big ship docked, the herald came out again and said, "Only General Gao needs to get on the ship alone!" ”

Gao Junshan got on the big boat under the escort of Sun Kewang, and Lin Mingqiu saw Gao Junshan on the boat, so he bent down and walked out of the cabin and said, "General, please go to the cabin to talk." ”

After the two sat down to greet each other, Lin Mingqiu said: "This mansion came to Gucheng this time to meet with the general. I see that the general's subordinates are neat and very powerful, I don't know how many generals there are under his command? ”

"About thirty thousand." Gao Junshan deliberately concealed the real number.

Lin Mingqiu said: "30,000 horses is not a small number, if the general can really serve the imperial court, he will definitely be able to build an immortal career in the future and go down in history." ”

Gao Junshan said: "The last general is willing to serve the imperial court." Uncle Fang, as long as he can allocate 30,000 yuan of food and salary to the last general on time, the last general is willing to protect the territory and the people of Yunyang, Xiangyang, and Jingzhou. ”

Lin Mingqiu replied: "Since the general has this sincerity, the imperial court cannot treat the general badly. As for the salary, after the government returns to Xiangyang, it will be revealed to the army master. ”

"The end will be eagerly awaited." Gao Junshan thought to himself, you made it clear to Xiong Wencan, isn't it you who is the one who deducts my military salary? He is also pretending to be a good person in front of me.

At this time, an old servant came in lightly, replaced it with hot tea, and Lin Mingqiu picked up the teacup and motioned to Gao Junshan to drink tea.

Lin Mingqiu then talked about Luo Rucai's recent appeasement and Li Zicheng's complete defeat. Talking about the latter in particular, he was very excited, and said: "One is the emperor Weiling, and the other is the soldiers, and the thieves in Shaanxi have been wiped out." Tang Bao said that this time, thanks to the proper command of the Hong Mansion, Qin Fu Sun Boya set up three ambushes in the southern plains of Tongguan, and the Li thieves rushed into the ambush, and the men and horses trampled on each other, and the casualties were incalculable. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Mingqiu raised his eyes to look at Gao Junshan, and then picked up the teacup and took a sip: "It's a pity!" The Li thief fled, and only eighteen horsemen fled into the Shangluo Mountains. If Li Thief could understand the righteousness like the general and return to the court as soon as possible, he would not end up like this. ”

Gao Junshan echoed: "What Lord Fang Bo said is extremely true. ”

Lin Mingqiu suddenly asked, "General Gao, do you know the whereabouts of Thief Li?" ”

"If the last general sees Li Zicheng, he will definitely be tied up to meet Master Fang Bo." Gao Junshan said.

Lin Mingqiu nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, good!" If General Gao can really capture the Li thief, not only will the general be trusted by the imperial court from then on, but he can also invite the reward of the marquis, and his name will be famous in history! ”

"Thank you, sir!"

Lin Mingqiu picked up the teacup again, revealing a tired face. Gao Junshan knew that this was going to send off guests, so he got up and said, "Is Master Fang Bo going ashore to rest?" ”

Lin Mingqiu waved his hand and said, "There are still important things in this mansion, so I won't get off the boat." ”

Gao Junshan said goodbye to Lin Mingqiu and immediately returned to Gucheng.

As soon as he entered the city, Xu Yixian greeted him and muttered in his ear: "Li Zicheng is here." ”
