With a knife is not suitable for beheading, Zhao Daxian didn't cut it off with a knife, and chopped a few more knives before hacking Liu Liangzuo to death.

Gao Yihuan looked at the human head, the neck looked like a dog had gnawed, and there was a large piece of skin and flesh hanging from it, which was shocking to watch.

A gust of cold wind blew, which made Gao Yihuan feel terrified, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Hang it on the city gate." ”

Zhao Daxian was about to turn around when he heard this, and Gao Yihuan said again: "Hang at the east gate!" ”

Zhao Daxian didn't ask why he hung at the east gate, so he hurriedly ran out.

Gao Yihuan just read the warrant, it was Li Zicheng who wanted to go east, wanted to transfer him to the expedition, and wanted to send troops to Xiangyang.

The general founding monarch, in the pioneering period, is to let his subordinates do it, and make all kinds of promises, and after success, and then have a glass of wine to release the military power, or kill the heroes, very few great deeds have not been accomplished, so they begin to restrict their subordinates, kill the heroes, or engage in internal strife.

Unfortunately, Li Zicheng is a very small part, he can't tolerate Luo Rucai, Zuo Ge, and then he has to kill Li Yan, he is a very suspicious person.

Li Zicheng's defeat is not unrelated to this.

There is only Li Zicheng in the Shun army, as soon as he is defeated, he will be defeated, and there is no force to defend him in the local area, if Luo Rucai is still there, at least he can help him block it for a while.

This letter was not a formal order, but a handwritten letter from Li Zicheng, asking him some questions and revealing some intentions, and Gao Yihuan saw the meaning from it, that is, Li Zicheng had some doubts about him.

This is not to say that Li Zicheng doubts his loyalty, but as the emperor of Dashun, Li Zicheng does not want to see his subordinates too powerful.

Now in the Shun army system, it is not Li Zicheng's five battalions directly under the government, but he controls the army, and he is not from the old Shun army, there are only three people, Yuan Shizhong, who is trembling in Shangzhou, and Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi are left.

Compared with Gao Yihuan, Liu Heizi's seniority in the Shun army is still older, and there is a Gao Yihuan who attracts attention, so Li Zicheng's eyes have not yet been cast on him.

After Zhao Daxian was ordered to leave, Liu Heizi saw Gao Yihuan's expression and couldn't help asking, "Brother Gao, what's the matter?" ”

Gao Yihuan smiled and put away the handbook, "It's a handwritten letter from Guanzhong." ”

This means that he didn't say anything, but Liu Heizi said with an envious face: "It's the emperor, do you want to reward Brother Gao?" ”

Conquering Xiangyang is a big deal, it is impossible to hide it, and Liu Heizi also knows it, so he thinks so, thinking that Gao Yihuan wants to be promoted, and he has been slapping Gao Yihuan recently.

Gao Yihuan shook his head, "It's Xi'an preparing for the Eastern Expedition, and we want to send troops and horses to join the expedition, so we have to go back quickly." ”

"Do you want to fight Beijing, overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and sit on the Son of Heaven?" Liu Heizi was shocked when he heard this.

Although Li Zicheng was proclaimed emperor in Xi'an, as long as Chongzhen was still in Beijing, in the hearts of the vast majority of people, the Son of Heaven was still Chongzhen, not Li Zicheng.

More than 270 years old, the empire, many influences, have been deeply rooted in everyone's hearts.

Gao Yihuan nodded, "Prime Minister Niu Cheng, I have long had the intention of going east, and after conquering Xi'an, I was planning the eastward crusade. Now that nearly a year has passed, the emperor can't wait, and he is indeed going to go east. ”

Liu Heizi looked at Gao Yihuan with some envy, "Did the emperor transfer his brother Gao to fight Beijing?" This is a great opportunity to make a difference! ”

Gao Yihuan didn't really want to make this contribution, and in Gao Yihuan's opinion, Li Zicheng probably couldn't occupy Beijing.

Excluding Wu Sangui's factors, after Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, he still could not solve the problem of the Qing army entering at any time.

After more than ten years of tossing between the Ming and Shun, the consumption in the north was too strong, Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, and he had to take over the defense line of the Great Wall, and geographically faced the Ming and Qing dynasties, and took over the mess left by the Ming Dynasty.

If Li Zicheng can't occupy Beijing, Gao Yihuan will only cause a commotion, which is not conducive to his identity whitewashing, nor is it conducive to unity with Nanming. In addition, follow Li Zicheng, Gao Yihuan is not a descendant, he must take the lead, he will work hard, and the benefits will inevitably be taken by the Shaanxi Gang, maybe he can't even enter Beijing City, so he can only garrison troops outside the city.

It is impossible for a single foreigner to share the fruits of victory with them.

Such a thankless effort and a huge stain on politics are really unworthy.

With the attitude of the Southern Ming court towards the Shun system, the more officials he has here in Li Zicheng, the more credit he has, and the more trouble he will have in the future.

If his strength is strong enough at this time, he can ignore Nanming's feelings, but the problem is that his current strength, whether it is relative to Li Zicheng or the Ming Dynasty, is not at the same level.

Li Guo and Gao Yigong, one is a marquis, the other is a relative of the emperor, after surrendering to the Southern Ming Dynasty, they were immediately squeezed out by He Tengjiao, and the treatment was not as good as that of Hao Shaoqi, who had a much lower status.

Gao Yihuan negotiated the price with the Ming Dynasty, not by relying on anything external, but by how many soldiers he had and how much strength he had.

At this time, he didn't want to participate in too many things between Li Zicheng and the Ming Dynasty, it wasn't Gao Yihuan licking his face to curry favor with the Ming Dynasty, and it might not work to curry favor, he just didn't want to create contradictions.

After the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, the biggest problem in the world was the loss of a core, a large system, and several small systems in broken cities.

Shun, Hongguang, Donglin, Luwang, Tang faction, Lu faction, Yongli, Sun Kewang, these people were not the opponents of the Qing army, and they were still fighting with each other.

Gao Yihuan is not able to solve such a situation, with his current strength, he naturally can't hold them down, these bigwigs, it is impossible to listen to him, and it is impossible for anyone to unite as one after saying a few words.

Gao Yihuan's strength is not enough to subdue them, so naturally there is no need to fight-for-tat, adding another fire to the already shattered world.

He should be reluctant now, making a fortune in a muffled voice, except for strengthening himself, everything else is empty.

For a period of time in the future, his position will be that whoever is the co-leader of the anti-Qing resistance will be subordinate to him in name, and under the position of unifying the anti-Qing movement, he will develop quietly and accumulate strength, instead of creating more divisions.

Gao Yihuan didn't say much, he looked at Liu Heizi and said, "Xi'an has decided to go east, I need to return to Runing, and maybe I have to go to Xi'an." Shouzhou is located in the south of the Huai River, Hefei to the south, Fengyang to the east, and it is necessary to deploy heavy troops to occupy this place, and I do not plan to occupy it. ”

After saying Gao Yihuan, he looked at Liu Heizi, Liu Heizi was stunned when he heard the words, and he understood when he thought about it, "Then I don't want it either." ”

Gao Yihuan nodded, "In the land of Huaibei, I want Linquan, Yingchuan, and Yingshang, Brother Liu, how about you take Bozhou and Wuyang, which are close to Yongcheng?" ”

Liu Heizi was originally in the guise of robbing once, and he had the mentality of celebrating the New Year, but now that he can take two more counties, he is naturally happy, "I have no problem." ”

"Alright, that's it. Now it's almost the New Year, let's pack up, count the supplies, and then prepare to retreat! Gao Yihuan waved his hand.

A few days later, Fengyang Mansion, the governor of the governor's line.

Ma Hongshan entered the festival hall and saluted Ma Shiying: "Xiaomin greets the governor!"

Ma Shiying looked at the relatives in front of him who couldn't be beaten, and asked, "Hongshan, you are from Shouzhou, but what news did you bring to Bendu?" ”

"Back to the governor, Gao Yihuan of Henan, let Xiaomin bring a letter to the governor, saying that the governor can recover Shouzhou!"

Ma Shiying's eyes widened when she heard this, and her spirit instantly perked up.

On December 20, outside the east gate of Shouzhou City, Ma Shiying led thousands of officers and troops to the city of Shouzhou.

"Look, Governor!" The chief soldier Fang Guoan pointed to the object hanging in front of the city gate and exclaimed.

Ma Shiying looked up and saw that it was a human head, "Take it off!" ”

Soon the head was taken over, and everyone looked at it, their expressions changed immediately, and they exclaimed, "It's Liu Liangzuo!" ”

Although the human head was hung for a while, it did not completely rot because of the cold weather. Everyone and Liu Liangzuo are acquaintances, so they naturally recognize them at a glance.

Fang Guoan couldn't help but say angrily: "Governor, Liu Liangzuo is my Ming commander-in-chief, Gao Yihuan said that he would kill him, and he was still hanging his head here, he was humiliating us!" ”

Ma Shiying was looking at a stack of letters that came with the head, all of which were letters from Liu Liangzuo and Liu Liangchen, as well as a list of goods sold by Liu Liangzuo to the Fan family, which was ironclad evidence that Liu Liangzuo had fornicated with the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Ma Shiying glanced at it a few times, but shook his head and sighed: "No! Ben Du saw Gao Yihuan as a hero, but he didn't mean that. This person, perhaps, can be fought for! ”

After speaking, he suddenly turned his head and said: "Okay, go to the city first, and then report to the emperor, just say that the governor and all the soldiers fought with the high thieves for half a month, killed nearly 10,000 thieves, and finally recaptured Shouzhou, and will take advantage of the situation to drive the high thieves out of the south!" ”

(Thank you Ma Xiaopang for loving Chen Ying's reward, thank you for your support.) ）
