The first dynasty of the second year of Dashun Yongchang was-for-tat at the beginning and extremely intense.

When Li Yan was taken away from the main hall by the guards, Gao Yihuan could feel the loss of soul in Li Yan's heart.

Li Yan was the one who helped Li Zicheng get out of the predicament, but today Li Zicheng kicked him out of the court, which chilled Li Yan's heart.

He was thinking about Dashun, even if Li Zicheng didn't listen, he shouldn't have driven him out in front of the Manchu civil and military forces.

In this way, Li Yan will not be able to do anything in Dashun.

Gao Yihuan is not mistaken, Li Yan is a Tian Feng if he can't get it right.

Now, Li Zicheng didn't react, and when he knew that he was out of shape, Li Yan was afraid that he wouldn't be able to return to Henan.

Gao Yihuan looked at Li Yan's back, and his heart suddenly moved.

At this time, there was silence in the hall, Li Zicheng had a gloomy face, very unhappy, he watched Li Yan hunched out of the hall irritably, and suddenly his eyes fell on Gao Yihuan at the entrance of the hall.

"General Gao!" Li Zicheng shouted.

Gao Yihuan was thinking about Li Yan's matter, and hurriedly came out to meet him when he heard the words, "Minister Gao Yihuan, meet Your Majesty!" ”

Li Zicheng squinted at him, "This time in the Eastern Crusade, I will send you 10,000 horses to accompany you, do you have any problems!" ”

Gao Yihuan's heart perked up and transferred 10,000, which was almost equivalent to taking away his territory.

"Your Majesty has a will, and no matter how difficult the minister is, he will put together people as soon as possible and wait for His Majesty's order!" Gao Yihuan remembered Niu Jinxing's words and hurriedly kowtowed, but he was very worried in his heart, worried that Niu Jinxing had a heated argument with Li Yan just now and forgot about him.

Li Zicheng was very unhappy by Li Yan, and when he saw Gao Yihuan's promise, he couldn't help but feel a little more comfortable.

This is what a courtier should look like, as long as he gives an order, he will go to the soup and go to the fire, and even die is no problem.

Seeing Gao Yi's cheerful agreement, Li Zicheng smiled, "Didn't you come to the court to give me a pleading?" How did you suddenly say yes! ”

"The minister is indeed here to plead! However, His Majesty's transfer of ministers to participate in the Eastern Crusade is His Majesty's promotion of the ministers, and it is the glory of the ministers, how dare the ministers not know how to lift, even if there are great difficulties, the ministers must overcome them, and enter Beijing from the dragon!!"

Gao Yihuan glanced at Niu Jinxing, and scolded secretly in his heart, "Turtle Sun, why don't you help Lao Tzu speak." ”

Li Zicheng was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Gao Yihuan to think so.

He raised Yihuan, purely because he felt that his strength was inflated, and he was a little uneasy, and after he was transferred, he also paid attention to making him work hard, so he didn't want to take him into Beijing.

However, Gao Yihuan thought so, Li Zicheng was naturally happy, he nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "If you have any difficulties, tell me about it."

Niu Jinxing stood aside and did not move, Gao Yihuan could only say to himself: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister himself is not in difficulty, as long as His Majesty gives the order, the minister can leave immediately." It's just that the minister is worried that the situation in southern Henan will go wrong after the minister leaves, and I hope that His Majesty and the court can deal with it! ”

"Oh?" Li Zicheng was puzzled, "What do you say?" ”

Gao Yihuan's mind changed sharply, "The minister is His Majesty guarding southern Henan, not only to guard against Zhang Xianzhong, but also to pay attention to the Ming army in Nanzhili, which was barely enough, but a few months ago, Liu Liangzuo of Nanzhi wanted to invade Henan, but was defeated by the minister Shouzhou and killed him. Shouzhou is an important town in Huainan, and Ma Shiying, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, led his troops to take it, and the minister was driven back to Huaibei by the Ming army. Now the men and horses are still fighting against the Ming army. If His Majesty allows his ministers to go east, the ministers can participate in the battle of Beijing, and enter Beijing from Long, the ministers will naturally be very honored, but if His Majesty wants to transfer his ministers, he must send troops and horses to take over the defense area of the ministers, so as not to lose Henan. This is what the minister wants to state! ”

After Li Zicheng heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, he knew that Gao Yihuan occupied Xiangyang, but he didn't expect Gao Yihuan to behead Liu Liangzuo in Shouzhou again.

Many generals in the palace couldn't help but look at Gao Yihuan and whispered.

Gao Yihuan was able to think about the defense of southern Henan for Li Zicheng, which made Li Zicheng very satisfied, he saw that Gao Yihuan was still kneeling, and stretched out his hand to support him, "Yihuan, you can be flat!" ”

In the end, whether to tune Gao Yihuan or not, Li Zicheng actually didn't think about it.

He just saw that Gao Yihuan had defeated Xiangyang, and he was a little suspicious in his heart, and he was not very relieved.

"Your Majesty, the crusade is imminent. The minister thought that since General Gao was familiar with the situation in southern Henan and could block the Ming army and Zhang Xianzhong, it was better to let General Gao continue to stay in southern Henan, so as not to change generals in the battle and make mistakes, which would make loopholes in Henan and affect His Majesty's great cause of the Eastern Expedition! Niu Jinxing saw Li Zicheng's hesitation, and finally stood up.

He chose the timing very well, and then spoke when Li Zicheng was already shaken, a simple sentence can achieve the effect, but it is not easy to arouse Li Zicheng's suspicion.

Li Zicheng didn't speak immediately, but set his eyes on the many generals in the hall, but everywhere he looked, the generals avoided one after another.

Obviously, the generals of the five battalions did not want to go to southern Henan.

Now when they go to southern Henan, their task is only to defend, and it is difficult to make meritorious contributions, how can they compare with entering Beijing and sharing the fruits of victory.

This Gao Yihuan captured Xiangyang and beheaded Liu Liangzuo, and he has already made great contributions, and now he is going to transfer him to Beijing to share the fruits of victory, and several generals naturally do not do it.

There are people among the other generals who are eager to try, but the southern line of Henan is safe, and listening to Gao Yihuan's words, he is still fighting with Ma Shiying, in case the faction is not strong enough and is defeated by the Ming army or Zhang Xianzhong, affecting the Eastern Expedition, then the situation is not good.

Although Li Zicheng drove Li Yan out, what he said was not unreasonable.

The Donglu outside the gate really can't be underestimated, he has to lead the main force to the east to deal with the Donglu, but the southern front can't be lost, and he really can't find anyone to replace Gao Yihuan for a while.

Li Zicheng groaned slightly, and suddenly said, "Yihuan! Prime Minister Niu's words reminded me. Now Henan is still inseparable from you, and you must guard Henan and Xiangyang for me. ”

"Ahh Gao Yihuan pretended to be surprised, his face leaked a look of disappointment, and he hesitated for a moment before saluting again: "The minister receives the order!"

Seeing this, Li Zicheng was a little reluctant to go, entering Beijing from the dragon was indeed a big temptation, he thought that Gao Yi would be happy.

"Yihuan, you should defend southern Henan, and when I take Beijing, your reward will be indispensable!" Li Zicheng said, muttering for a moment, "Last year, you captured Xiangyang, plus the merit of killing Liu Liangzuo, I will give you a general Guoyi first." ”

After hearing this, Gao Yihuan showed great joy on his face, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, "Minister, thank Your Majesty for the reward, and set it for Your Majesty to guard southern Henan." ”

Speaking of this, Gao Yihuan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, speaking of this Eastern Crusade, the minister has something to report!" ”

"Oh~" Li Zicheng frowned slightly, "What else do you have to report?" ”

Gao Yihuan estimated that when Li Zicheng went east, the silver given to him by the Fan family should also be delivered, so he decided to sell the Fan family to Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty, when the minister was fighting Liu Liangzuo in Nanzhi, he found that Liu Liangzuo had a connection with the Guanwai Tartars through the Jiexiu Fan family. If Your Majesty's Eastern Crusade is short of food, it is better to copy this Fan family. They colluded with the Dongyu, and their families were worth millions, which could provide a batch of food and wages for the army. ”

Gao Yihuan licked his lips and continued: "In addition, the minister also captured Liu Liangzuo's brother Liu Liangchen, who had surrendered to Dongyu more than ten years ago. After the interrogation of the minister, it was found that Donglu seemed to have the intention of entering the customs, Liu Liangzuo, and Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan were all connected with Dongyu. If Your Majesty wants to take Beijing, you must pay attention to the entry of the East into the Kou Pass. ”
