In the early morning, Xu Yixian, who had a splitting headache, was woken up by the soldiers, saying that they wanted to send him out of the city.

Yesterday, he didn't want to drink more, but Gao Yihuan often glared at him, saying that if he didn't drink, he wouldn't give him face, so don't talk about it.

Xu Yixian is a Sven person, so he has never seen this kind of helpless trick, and after a while, he was confused, but fortunately, he still remembers the conversation last night more clearly and did not forget it.

In the big tent of the Western Army, Li Dingguo sat in the handsome seat, and Xu Yixian said with red eyes: "General, after talking with Gao Yihuan all night, he has promised to exchange according to one to five, but he is worried that the general will deceive, so he wants to change it in batches, so as not to send the general to mix in and take the opportunity to seize the city." ”

Li Dingguo sneered, "He's cautious." ”

The exchange was huge, and thousands of people were sent into the city together, which was indeed dangerous for the defenders.

There are previous cases, Gao Yihuan is on guard and proposes batches of changes, which is understandable.

Li Dingguo looked at a letter on his desk, which was sent from Wuchang.

After breaking through Yicheng, in view of the possibility of competing with Li Zicheng for Xiangyang, Li Dingguo asked people to send a letter to Zhang Xianzhong, so that Wuchang soldiers and horses could come to support, but yesterday there was news from Wuchang, and the soldiers and horses could not come for the time being.

He Tengjiao, Yang Wenyue, who fled to Yuezhou, gathered all the subordinate officials to block Yinxi, Fu Shangrui, Yan Qiheng, Zhang Kuang, Zhou Daqi, Wu Jinxi, etc., and wept bitterly that they would recapture Wuchang.

The Ming Dynasty has re-established the three divisions of Huguang, ordered He Tengjiao to be the governor of Huguang, ordered Yinxi to take charge of Hunan, Yang Wenyue to take charge of Hubei, Zhang Kuang to supervise the army, Zhou Daqi to supervise the school, and gathered Ma Xianglin and other officers and troops who supported Wuchang from Xiangyang and broke out of the city after the city was broken, as well as mobilized thirteen troops and horses such as Huang Chaoxuan, Zhang Xianbi, and Liu Chengyin in Hunan, gathered in Yuezhou, Changsha and other places, and the army was slightly boosted.

In addition, Huang Degong, who went north to King Qin, has returned to Anqing Mansion, and the soldiers and horses are more magnificent than before.

This made Zhang Xianzhong of Wuchang dare not easily go north to fight Li Zicheng, so Wuchang's western army will not go north to Xiangyang for the time being.

After Li Dingguo received this letter, he knew that the responsibility for attacking Xiangyang fell on him alone.

If he was against Gao Yihuan alone, he was not afraid, but he was worried that Li Zicheng would go south, so he was a little shaken in his heart.

Li Dingguo groaned slightly and continued: "How does he want to exchange!" ”

Xu Yixian arched his hand and said: "Gao Yihuan asked the general to send five hundred captives from Nanyang first, and after he accepted it, he let one hundred people out of the city." ”

"He's very good at choosing people!" Li Dingguo scolded with a smile, and then asked: "Why is it that Ben will send it first, can't it be exchanged at the same time?" ”

There are more than 20,000 captives, most of whom are said to be local bandits from Xiangyang Prefecture, but there are thousands of them, who are the Shun army of Nanyang, relatively speaking, much more elite than the local bandits.

Xu Yixian was drowsed up yesterday, and he didn't fight much, so he agreed, "Gao Yihuan is still the same reason, he doesn't trust the general, he must be eliminated first, and after making sure that there is no problem, he can release him." In addition, he said that this matter was initiated by the general, and the general should make some concessions to show sincerity. ”

Li Dingguo laughed a little angrily in his heart, isn't the name of my Xiaowei Chi still worthy of trust?

This transaction is obviously Gao Yihuan taking advantage, why does he still look like he has suffered a lot of losses, for fear that I will calculate him?

Li Dingguo let out a breath in his nose, this Gao Yihuan's mother-in-law is as timid as a mouse, not atmospheric at all, not a hero.

"Okay, Ben has agreed, and Mr. Xu will be in charge of the exchange!" It's just that five hundred people are handed over first, even if Gao Yihuan repents, Li Dingguo will not suffer a big loss, he nodded, and then instructed, "The speed of the exchange, try to be as fast as possible, and be sure to rescue Yugong." ”

"Don't worry, general, I'll do it here!" Xu Yixian was busy.

Not long after, 500 soldiers from Nanyang were selected and led outside Xiangyang City.

These soldiers are all subordinates in the king's body, and many of them have settled down in Nanyang, they originally thought that they couldn't go back, but now they have been exchanged back, and they can't help but feel a little grateful to Gao Yihuan in their hearts.

On the urn city, Gao Yihuan was dressed in armor, standing at the head of the city, overlooking the soldiers who were being investigated below, and turned his head to Wang Deren next to him and said: "Deren! I, Gao Yihuan, am still very good to the real brothers. As long as you really do it with me, if you encounter any danger one day, don't worry, I, Gao Yihuan, will definitely come to catch you personally. ”

As he spoke, he looked around at the few new generals around him who had been specially called by him, as well as the leader of the bandits who followed him, and said, "You are the same. ”

Wang Deren and the others immediately bowed down and hugged their fists, and they all said that they must be loyal to the general.

These people are not stupid, and when they see the present, they understand a little bit in their hearts.

A few of the seven or eight leaders who chose to follow Gao Yihuan at the beginning are now mixing quite well, and most of the people who wavered before have now fallen into the hands of the Western Army, and Gao Yihuan didn't say that he wanted to exchange them back, as for those who fled back, they were also taken away from their military power.

When saying that Wang Tizhong was there, Gao Yihuan didn't care about the soldiers of the Wang Ministry, but now that Wang Tizhong died, Wang Deren took refuge in him, Gao Yihuan went to Nanyang from time to time, personally paid them, and added vegetables to them.

This let them know that if they follow General Gao, General Gao will naturally not be able to treat them badly, but if anyone has other thoughts, then they have to be careful, and they may be sold by Gao Yihuan at some point.

Xu Yixian looked at Gao Yihuan on the side, and used his clumsy tricks to sell people's hearts, with a look of disdain on his face.

The real masters, the big heroes, are all admired by people, and only the clowns use these little tricks.

He despised Gao Yihuan for a while in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "General Gao, five hundred people have been delivered, do you think you can release them according to the regulations?" ”

Gao Yihuan turned around, and immediately waved his hand arrogantly, raising his voice so that everyone around him could hear it, "No problem, Ben Jiang also wants to change the brothers back as soon as possible, so that they can have a hot meal." ”

The surrounding soldiers all secretly praised the general's benevolence and righteousness, and Gao Yihuan immediately turned around and ordered: "Pillar, you go and release people!" ”

In a short time, 500 captives were counted and put into the city, and 100 selected Western soldiers were placed in the urn city.

Xu Yixian took a closer look, they were all ordinary soldiers, there were no generals, and he didn't see Bai Wenxuan, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

These soldiers were all selected, and most of them were family people, and they would not feel at ease if they stayed, so they were returned to the Western Army.

At this time, Gao Yihuan suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, today's transaction will be relatively satisfactory." The soldier reported to the general, and did not find that the fine work was mixed in, which shows that General Li, like Gao, is an honest person who stresses integrity, and our exchange can continue. ”

Xu Yixian said in his heart, "General Li is a hero, so naturally he says the same, and only you can live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." ”

"Okay, I'll mention someone later." Xu Yixian arched his hand.

Gao Yihuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Since trust has been established between everyone, there is no need for one hundred and one hundred exchanges. I think we can increase the number next time, Mr. Xu can bring 2,500 people over, let's try to replace it within three times, so as not to waste time! ”

Xu Yixian was slightly stunned, and a look of embarrassment leaked from his face.

Gao Yihuan's face immediately changed when he saw this, as if he had been insulted, "What, Mr. Xu doesn't believe in this general?" ”

"How so?" Xu Yixian was afraid of this Gao Yihuan, and his head shook like a rattle, "It's just that I have to discuss this matter with General Li!" ”

In the early morning of the next day, 2,500 soldiers were sent into the city of Wengcheng, and immediately there were soldiers and soldiers of Gao who carried steamed white flour steamed buns and distributed them to the Nanyang soldiers, which made the hearts of the redeemed soldiers feel warm.

Although Xu Yixian despises some of the little tricks used by Gao Yihuan, he has to admit that this Gao Yihuan buys people's hearts and minds, and he is indeed very set.

"General Gao, I have already sent the people, the general quickly release five hundred people, let me bring them back." Xu Yixian arched his hand.

"Haha~" Gao Yihuan smiled, and suddenly grabbed Xu Yixian's hand, "Mr. Xu, don't worry." My husband and I hit it off at first sight, and now it's time to eat, let's have a meal first, and then it's not too late! ”

After speaking, Gao Yihuan couldn't help but pull him down the city, Xu Yixian felt a pang in his heart, and stood still, but he was a powerless literati, where could he withstand Gao Yihuan's pull.

"Small!" Gao Yihuan didn't pull for a while, and he was disdainful in his heart, so he pulled him hard, almost pulled him into his arms, and directly dragged him down the city.

Xu Yixian struggled for a while, and when he reached the steps of the lower city, he suddenly looked north, and vaguely saw that on the river in the north, a group of people and horses were coming from the pontoon bridge in a steady stream.

Xu Yixian was suddenly shocked, and he was dragged by Gao Yihuan to Shuaifu all the way to sit down.

At this time, as soon as it was on the table, Xu Yixian suddenly covered his stomach, "General Gao, I feel a little uncomfortable in my lower stomach, I don't know~"

Gao Yihuan sneered in his heart, watching him perform with clumsy acting skills, he hurriedly stood up and cooperated: "What, it's going to be sparse!" ”
