Gao Yihuan listened to the words of the two, and his heart was happy, and he didn't say anything at the moment, but helped the two of them up, and said with a smile, "This handsome Chen Liuren, speaking of which, we are all township parties." The two of you can recognize the situation, Ben Shuai is very pleased. Why, don't you introduce yourself? ”

When the words landed, Liu Xuan raised his head, glanced at Gao Yihuan, and immediately lowered his head a little nervously, hugged his fists and said: "Hui Dashuai, my name is Liu Xuan, I am from Xiangcheng, and I will attack Yuncheng with Han Jiadi." Today, I joined the command of the marshal, and I have no other intentions, I only hope to serve in front of the army, and only the marshal is the first to atone for the previous sins. ”

"Good!" Gao Yihuan nodded.

When Li Ji met Gao Yihuan, he set his eyes on him, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Return to the marshal, humble and enthroned Li Jiyu, I am willing to serve and die under the command of the marshal, and I will make a contribution." ”

Historically, after the collapse of the Dashun court, the situation in Henan was extremely complicated, and the powerful people from all over the country swarmed, some were still loyal to Li Zicheng, some nominally belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and some surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Some cities, at the beginning of the year belonged to Dashun, every few days to play the flag, wait a few days to see again, but planted the Qing army's triangular yellow dragon flag.

Because Henan was chaotic at that time, the records of that period of history were also chaotic, but Li Jiyu's experience with this person was relatively clear.

According to the "Qing Shilu", he died in the fourth year of Shunzhi, and his family was killed for participating in the anti-Qing case of Wang Daoshi.

Gao Yihuan listened to the statements of the two, and immediately comforted: "Very good." If you two can sincerely vote and save hundreds of thousands of Henan people from swords, this is a great achievement, and the commander will appoint and reward you. ”

When the two of them heard this, their hearts fell to the ground, their faces were overjoyed, and they hurriedly saluted and thanked them, indicating that they must be loyal.

Gao Yihuan continued: "At present, Henan is in danger, the Tartars have received the three mansions of Weihui, Huaiqing, and Zhangde, and tens of thousands of horsemen are on the Yellow River. Now we Zhongzhou heroes, when we abandon the past, whether it is Kou or an official, we should fight against the Qing Dynasty, guard the fathers and elders of Zhongzhou, and avoid the slaughter of the Tartars. ”

"Now that King Li Chuang has been defeated, the Ming court can't count on it, we Henan people are in a mess in ourselves, and we will only cheap tartars, and you will all become sinners!" Gao Yihuan looked at the two of them and reminded again, "As long as you sincerely belong to Ben Shuai, and protect the people of Zhongzhou, Ben Shuai will inevitably be regarded as Brother Paoze, but if you dare to be half-hearted, then don't blame Ben Shuai for being black~"

Liu Xuan listened to his words and hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

After Li Jiyu heard this, he was surprised for a while, and his face was ashamed, "The matter of the lesson of the marshal, he will definitely follow the marshal and guard the people." ”

Gao Yihuan nodded with satisfaction, and then ordered the two to obey the order.

After finishing this matter, Gao Yihuan ordered Jin Shenghuan to be the forerunner to collect Xuzhou and Xiangcheng, and he turned back to Yuncheng.

In Yuncheng County, Li Mingchong was a little complicated and concerned about the battle between Gao Yihuan and the rebels, and he sent the spies from the city to come back one after another and bring back the news of the war.

Gao Yihuan's men and horses first ambushed Han Jiadi who went to save Xuzhou, defeated 40,000 rebels, and then drove the rout to the north bank of Xiaoyingshui, and with the men and horses on the south bank, they flanked the main rebel force stationed on the north bank.

Li Mingchong thought that there would be a big battle, and after a long time, Bai Wang received his letter and might send troops over, but as a result, more than 100,000 rebels actually surrendered directly.

This time, Li Mingchong was stunned!

More than 100,000 rebels! Why do you have to fight a dozen! Why don't you shoot a shot and surrender in fright?

How hard did you storm the city and fill the river?

Why did you kneel when you saw Gao Yihuan?

In fact, Li Jiyu and Liu Xuan can't be blamed for this, after all, their core people are only four or five thousand, and they can't be compared with Gao Yihuan's people, I'm afraid that four or five thousand can't beat Gao Yihuan by one or two thousand, and the rest of the people say that they are 200,000, but in fact, they are all farmers, just holding a personal field, it's okay to fight Yuncheng, but it's not enough to beat Gao Yihuan.

In addition to being shocked, Li Mingchong was also very entangled in his heart, Gao Yihuan defeated the rebels and occupied Xuzhou and Xiangcheng, and then Yuncheng was completely separated from the area controlled by Bai Shuai, and Bai Shuai did not have soldiers and horses to support, so he was isolated.

With his understanding of Gao Yihuan, it was absolutely impossible for Gao Yihuan to let him continue to occupy Yuncheng, and he would definitely swallow his territory, which made him distressed.

Li Mingchong sighed, he had no countermeasures at the moment, he could only take one step at a time.

At dusk, the sunset shines on the west and turns red.

At this moment, on the city wall of Yuncheng, there were suddenly bursts of exclamations, and the soldiers climbed to the top of the city to look, only to see that outside the city, there was a dense crowd of people, at least more than 100,000 people, looking at Yuncheng.

In front of them are thousands of horse troops, the war horses are galloping, raising rolling yellow dust, and behind them are the infantry troops with bright clothes and neat queues, which look murderous and violent.

Li Mingchong can swear that the people and horses he saw are only comparable to Li Zicheng's old battalion, and the soldiers and horses of Bai Shuai do not have such momentum.

Before the crowd, a black flag fluttered in front of it, embroidered with a large golden "Gao" character, indicating to the defenders of the city that they were the men and horses of Gao Yihuan, the defense envoy of southern Henan.

At this time, Li Mingchong, who was standing at the head of the city, saw the scene in front of him, which made him gasp.

Gao Yihuan is strong, at least the best in Henan.

"Captain, let's open the city to meet General Gao!" A captain next to him couldn't help but say.

In the eyes of several officers, there was no entanglement of Li Mingchong, but a little expectation in their eyes.

Yuncheng is close to Runing, Runing under the rule of Gao Yihuan, the people are peaceful, business is active, the central, northern and western parts of Yuzhou, and even the merchants in Guanzhong, all come to Runing to buy goods, bringing a lot of news to Yuncheng.

The soldiers of Yuncheng all know that Gao Yihuan's men and horses are not only well-equipped, they can get salaries and silver, but also have military fields to divide, they have pensions after death, and they can go to the village head if they are disabled, and they basically have no worries.

Bai Wang was kind to Li Mingchong, but the officers and ordinary soldiers below couldn't appreciate Bai Wang's favor.

For them, since they are soldiers and eat food, why not find a better lord?

Li Mingchong listened to the words of the commander, pondered for a while, and sighed, "Open the city gate and welcome General Gao into the city!" ”

Hundreds of thousands of rebels forced him to ask Gao Yihuan for help, and now Gao Yihuan has surrendered the rebels, and he can't be caught even if he beats him.

Not long after, the city gate opened, and Li Mingchong led his subordinates and galloped out of the city to welcome Gao Yihuan into the city.

That night, in the hall of the county government, Gao Yihuan set up a wine to celebrate, and the atmosphere was very warm.

After three rounds of drinking, Gao Yihuan suddenly picked up his wine glass and said: "Half a month ago, Ben Shuai received a letter from Luoyang, asking Ben Shuai to go north as soon as possible to defend against the Tartars crossing the river. Now that the internal affairs are over, Ben Shuai is determined to go north as soon as possible! ”

Speaking of this, Gao Yihuan looked at Zhao Mingchong and said, "Captain Zhao, your three thousand men and horses will also go north with Ben Shuai and do your part to resist the Qing Dynasty, how about it?"

Zhao Ming rushed a few cups and was already slightly drunk, but when he heard the words, he was immediately frightened, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He "poofed", got up from his seat, rushed to the middle of the lobby, bowed his head, and bowed, "I am willing to listen to the dispatch of the marshal, and I wish only the marshal to look forward." However, the lowly position, the ability is limited, three thousand people, it is really difficult, and the commander is asked to transfer a general to command, and the lowly position is willing to assist wholeheartedly. ”

Gao Yihuan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that his face was pale, and he agreed so quickly, but he didn't expect Li Mingchong to react so violently when he mentioned it.

However, Gao Yihuan was very happy in his heart, and sponsored him to be sensible, so he immediately picked up his wine glass and said with a surprised face: "Zhao Duwei, why are you, hurry up, let's drink first, and we'll talk about this later~"
