Chapter 205: A Puzzle
Gao Yihuan looked at the Western Army camp from afar, and was thinking about how to use last night's victory to scare Li Dingguo away.
Zhao Zhuzi reported it, but it disrupted his train of thought.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing a scarf and hat, a straight jacket, and a brocade coat followed Zhao Zhuzi to the city, looking around from time to time, and finally landed on Gao Yihuan's broad back.
Gao Yihuan heard that Li Dingguo had sent someone over, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but leak a smile.
Last night, Li Dingguo wanted to calculate him, but he was calculated by him.
It's a pity that others don't know Li Dingguo's future fame, otherwise his deeds can be blown a hundred times.
Although Gao Yihuan didn't capture much, he only captured more than 800 Western soldiers, and killed less than 1,000 Western soldiers, which can't be compared with more than 30,000 people he reimbursed at once, but he won after all.
Although it was only a small victory, it stabilized people's hearts and allowed Gao Yihuan to regain face.
In fact, Gao Yihuan's gains last night could have been more, but as soon as Li Dingguo saw that the sneak attack was missed, he immediately ordered a retreat, and did not let the horses attack, otherwise the Western army he killed and injured would at least double.
This victory reassured the defenders of Xiangyang City, and at the same time gave Gao Yihuan confidence.
Now, unless Zhang Xianzhong leads the troops over, with Li Dingguo's troops, he will definitely be able to hold Xiangyang, but there will be absolutely no problem in holding it for a few months.
"Hahaha~" Gao Yihuan turned around with a laugh, pressed the knife with one hand, stuck the other hand at his waist, looked at the messenger with a smug face, and asked arrogantly: "Why, Li Dingguo was convinced by the general and sent you to sue for peace?" ”
The person who came was in his thirties, and at first glance he had read a book, with a high nose and big eyes, very handsome, a few long beards under his forehead, and a feather fan in his hand, very coquettish as a scribe.
He listened to Gao Yihuan's words, was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that the person in front of him was so shameless.
In a battle in the southern suburbs of Xiangyang, the Great Western Army killed him to the ground, losing more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, he only repelled the attack of the Western Army last night, and the Great Western Army lost less than 2,000 men and horses, not a fraction of his losses, he actually had the cheekiness to say such wild words.
The scribe glanced at Gao Yihuan with disdain in his heart, but after all, he was on Gao Yihuan's territory, and the thief was not bound by the king's law, and he would kill if he wanted to, and he didn't say anything sarcastic.
"In Xia Xu Yixian, he entered the city on the order of General Li to discuss with General Gao about the exchange of prisoners." The scribe did not bow down, but stood and bowed his hands.
Hearing that it was an exchange of prisoners, Gao Yihuan immediately lost much interest.
Last night, he captured more than 800 Western troops, all of them were elite, no worse than his men, and he also caught Bai Wenxuan, a big fish, and was thinking about how to receive it and how to let it go.
Gao Yihuan didn't know that there were many characters in the late Ming Dynasty whose names were named, and the characters who could make him have an image were either traitors or some capable fierce people.
Bai Wenxuan followed Zhang Xianzhong in his early years and made many military exploits.
After Zhang Xianzhong's death, he followed Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo to resist the Qing Dynasty.
In the eleventh year of Yongli (1657), there was a civil strife in the Southern Ming court, Sun Kewang sent 140,000 troops to attack Kunming, and Bai Wenxuan helped Li Dingguo defeat Sun Kewang.
After that, he and Li Dingguo moved to western Yunnan, with more than 50,000 soldiers, and the official lord was always the king of Gongchang in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and finally fell to the Qing Dynasty.
Bai Wenxuan can be the king of the county, resisting the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, and can be said to be a character.
Although Bai Wenxuan was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old at this time, he was relatively young, but he could not ignore the value of cultivation.
Gao Yihuan has already decided to accept Bai Wenxuan, so naturally he will not be willing to exchange Bai Wenxuan and the elite Western Army soldiers for Song Chengjiang's group of birds.
Those people are all old fritters, and it will be a trouble to change them back.
Gao Yihuan has already helped them to prepare their spiritual positions, but after forcing Li Dingguo back, he will bury their clothes and make them a tomb to show their benevolence.
However, Li Dingguo proposed to change, but Gao Yihuan directly refused, which would inevitably be a blow to Gao Yihuan's image, and it would also make his soldiers suspicious.
At the beginning, Gao Xinghao was arrested in Bozhou, and Gao Yihuan had to beat Bozhou no matter what, just to tell the brothers that the second brother would not leave a brother.
Of course, the current situation is different, Gao Yihuan didn't treat Song Chengjiang's group of bandits as brothers at all, and those bandits didn't really treat Gao Yihuan as a big brother, everyone had their own ghosts, and they were all scourges in exchange.
Gao Yihuan wished that Li Dingguo would kill them, which was better than turning his face against them when he was cleaning up the local forces in Xiangyang.
Gao Yihuan wants to rule Xiangyang, and the local mountains will naturally be swept away.
It's just that they are here to help him fight after all, and Gao Yihuan can't say anything if he doesn't save him, which will make people feel cold.
"Li Dingguo, who is a mother, has a problem for Lao Tzu again! I want to use a group of crooked melons and cracked dates to go back in exchange for a fierce general! Gao Yihuan scolded secretly in his heart, but his face was overjoyed, "This is a good thing!" My brother, I want it all back. ”
Xu Yixian frowned slightly, and said in his heart, "All of them are exchanged, what do you exchange for?" ”
This Gao Yihuan gave Xu Yixian a feeling of unreliability, and he said in a deep voice, "General Gao said that it was funny, our army captured the general's soldiers and horses, close to 20,000 people. ”
He accentuated his tone on "20,000", and deliberately glanced at Gao Yihuan, but saw that Gao Yihuan's face did not change, and he didn't seem to be listening at all, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, and he was a little unsure of Gao Yihuan's thoughts, so his voice was a little less confident, "The general captured less than 1,000 of our army, and exchanged 1,000 for 20,000 people, does the general look down on his own soldiers?" ”
Gao Yihuan couldn't help but glance at this Xu Yixian more, and wondered a little in his heart, I didn't hear that Zhang Xianzhong had any powerful strategists!
This Xu Yixian can! Sharp teeth, handsome.
Xu Yixian is actually a celebrity, one of Zhang Xianzhong's advisers, has great political ambitions, wants to assist Zhang Xianzhong to fight for the world, and often compares himself with Zhuge Liang.
It's just that this person is more unlucky, in history, when Zhang Xianzhong fought Yuezhou, he fell into the river and buried his death.
Those more than 20,000 people are fritters themselves, and they have seen Gao Yihuan's figure, even if these people are replaced, they can only be dismissed from farming, and it is impossible to be incorporated into the team.
Gao Yihuan has the urge to detain this Xu Yixian and end the negotiation in his heart, but for the sake of his own image, Gao Yihuan's attitude still has to be grounded.
"Haha, Mr. Xu said with a smile." Gao Yihuan laughed and said: "Gao is unwilling to favor one over the other, and he is unwilling to leave any brother behind."
Xu Yixian frowned, if he said so, then there was nothing to talk about.
Gao Yihuan saw his appearance, but his heart suddenly moved, and he had a plan in his heart.
