After Li Zicheng defeated Sun Chuanting, the general trend of breaking into the army has been achieved, and the change of dynasty seems to have become a foregone conclusion.

Since Li Zicheng was stationed in Nanyang, many people have chosen to get on the ship of the new dynasty first and take the lead in order to ensure the interests of their families and themselves in order to occupy a position in the new dynasty and avoid being purged in the alternation of the old and new nobles.

Within the army, various forces also began to divide the mountain, so that they could get more benefits after the establishment of the new dynasty.

In the civil official system of the army, there are mainly three hills, one is Li Yan, one is Niu Jinxing, and the other is Song Xiance, of which Song Xiance was introduced to Li Zicheng by Niu Jinxing, and he has no ability, he is a fortune teller, and he has no party, so among the civil officials, there are only two factions: Niu Jinxing and Li Yan.

Li Yan came to Li Zicheng with his forces, he was the leader of Henan's Haoqiang, and he had a high prestige in the army, with the support of the army and the locality, and a complete set of ideals for governing the country, so he had a lot of power in the army, and sometimes forced Li Zicheng to bow his head.

Li Zicheng has many things that need to be done according to Li Yan's wishes, and the specific political affairs within the army are also handled by Li Yan, and he has a lot of real power.

Niu Jinxing is different from Li Yan, he is a rootless Ping, he won Li Zicheng's trust by flattering Li Zicheng, and he has a relatively high status in the army.

This means that if Li Zicheng favors him, then Niu Venus will be powerful, and if Li Zicheng does not favor him, then Niu Venus will be worthless, and the generals will not pay attention to him.

Li Yan's rights are mainly because of the support of Henan Haoqiang, and Niu Jinxing is because of Li Zicheng, who has no rights himself.

This kind of political pattern in the army makes Niu Jinxing very dissatisfied, Li Zicheng has already been called the king, and the next step is to build the emperor, Niu Jinxing is not satisfied with just being a favored minister, he also wants to grasp the real power like Li Yan.

Gao Yihuan is recommended by Li Yan, and he has been labeled as Li Yan, Niu Jinxing wants to take power, he has to squeeze out Li Yan, he naturally does not want to see a cadre appear in Li Yan's faction, and he does not want to see Li Zicheng appreciate Gao Yihuan.

At this time, the second brother didn't know that someone was saying bad things about him, and after he finished washing up in the post house, he asked someone to help him polish his armor before he walked out of the room, and Zhao Zhuzi and the others had already prepared according to his instructions.

Gao Yihuan selected a few boxes of jewelry, two golden Buddhas, and a few large corals, in short, he chose them and took them, and then waved his hand and said: "Let's go, take these boxes of things with the pillar, and follow me to see Li Zicheng." ”

More than 100 carts, naturally it is impossible to push them all to the palace, Gao Yihuan only picked up the most valuable things, carried them to the palace, and presented them to Li Zicheng in person.

After Li Zicheng saw these things, he could form an illusion, thinking that the things in the hundred carts would not be bad, but in fact, most of them were furniture.

Of course, this is not to say that the furniture is not valuable, in fact, it is all good mahogany, huanghuali, in the Taiping years, are priceless treasures, but at the moment, it is almost like chopping firewood.

At that moment, a group of people carried a few big boxes and went to Tang Wang's Mansion, the city was much quieter than the outside of the city, but there were also many soldiers patrolling the streets standing next to the street, looking at the second brother and his party.

"Yihuan, why haven't you entered the palace yet?"

Behind the second brother Gao, a low voice suddenly came, he looked back, and saw that not far behind him, a general riding a war horse was catching up, and it turned out to be the general Li Guo.

The second brother of the senior high school hurriedly turned the horse's head, and Shi Li said, "Humble and general!" ”

Li Guo came over with a horse, glanced at Zhao Zhuzi and the others carrying several large boxes of things, and then looked at Gao Yihuan for a while, he was very surprised, he didn't expect that a lieutenant would actually take down the land of Runing.

"What you sent, Ben will have received. It's good that you have this heart. Li Guo saw that Gao Yihuan was dressed in a suit, looking very mighty, and nodded, it seems that he was not wrong to mention him at the beginning.

"The general is kind to me, and that is all due to his humble position." Gao Yihuan smiled and asked, "Where are you going, General Zhi?"

"Naturally, I went to the palace to see the king." Li Guo glanced at him, "You are going to offer treasures to the king!" Let's go together. ”

At that moment, the second brother Gao was a head behind and parallel to Li Guo, and he asked casually: "General Cheng went to see the king, is there anything wrong?"

Li Guo smiled, "It should be that the king wants everyone to see what good things you have offered, so he called me over." ”

Gao Yihuan was stunned when he heard this, and offered some money, don't be so grand. Seeing his expression, Li Guo laughed a few times before suddenly saying with a straight face: "Now that we have defeated Sun Chuanting, how to fight next, there should be a decision." The king has been convening everyone to discuss recently, and you have come at the right time, and you may have the opportunity to listen to it in the palace. ”

Gao Yihuan was very interested in this matter, he glanced at Li Guo, and suddenly said: "What else is there to discuss, naturally take advantage of the victory to pursue, directly break the Tongguan, and take the pass to become a king."

"Oh?" Li Guo didn't blame Gao Yihuan and Meng Lang, he turned his head to look at Gao Yihuan and asked, "Why do you want to fight Guanzhong first?" Many people suggested that we should go to Xiangyang to eat first, annihilate Zuo Liangyu, completely remove the threat of the official army to us, and then decide what to do next. ”

Gao Yihuan didn't want to break into the army to go south, which blocked his development space, and he immediately replied: "General Huiyu, Zuo Liangyu was defeated by his humble position in Yuncheng, losing more than 8,000 people, and only led four or five hundred cavalry to flee back to Xiangyang. Now that his strength has been greatly damaged, there is nothing to fear. ”

After hearing this, Li Guo couldn't help but wonder: "Yuncheng ambush Yihuan is also among them?" ”

"Why did General Zhi ask this, why, General Zhao didn't mention my merits?" When Gao Yihuan heard Li Guo ask, he immediately reacted, and couldn't help scolding in his heart, "Mom sells batches, Zhao Yingyuan and Liu Heizi." ”

Li Guo didn't want to care about this matter, "I don't know much about this matter." Yihuan, you go on to say what you think. ”

Gao Yihuan listened, exhaled, and said in his heart that he was settling accounts with these two people in the future, and then arched his hand and said, "Yes!" General, although Zuo Liangyu is now known as 200,000, he is a rabble, and a partial general can block him in Xiangyang, and he doesn't have the courage to come to Henan again, so the king doesn't need to regard him as a threat at all. In addition, Zuo Liangyu's men and horses are like bandits, and Xiangyang has long been dilapidated, and even if the army takes it, it will not get much grain and grass. ”

Gao Yihuan saw Li Guo nodding frequently, so he continued: "On the contrary, although Sun Chuanting is defeated, he is still a threat to the king. He is now retreating to Shaanxi, if the king does not take advantage of the situation to defeat him completely, with Sun Chuanting's ability, it will not be long before he can bring out a strong army. At that time, it will be difficult for the king to take Guanzhong. ”

In history, after Sun Chuanting retreated to Shaanxi, it took more than half a year to completely fail, and the second brother felt that the long pain was better than the short pain, so it was better to simply let Li Zicheng seize Guanzhong earlier.

"What you said Yihuan is very reasonable, if Sun Chuanting doesn't get rid of it, we really can't be at ease." Li Guoshen thought so, and it seemed that he was beaten out of the psychological shadow by Lao Sun. But he thought about it and shook his head and said: "It's just to fight Shaanxi, I'm afraid that the army won't have enough food and grass!" ”

Gao Yihuan saw that Li Guo had already approved his idea, and hurriedly said: "General, in the past few years, King Chuang has been fighting in Henan, and Shaanxi has been governed by several governors of the imperial court, especially Sun Chuanting, the situation is actually not bad. Sun Chuanting can raise 100,000 Qin soldiers, which shows that Shaanxi actually has grain, and Li Gongzi has begun to govern Henan, winter wheat has been planted in many places, and it will be harvested next year, and the grain of the army should be able to solve it~"

The two were talking, but behind him, Zhao Zhuzi suddenly pointed to the front and said, "General System, second brother, it's time to the palace gate." ”
