Outside Nanyang City, the Wei Wu Army camp, the Chinese army's big tent.

At the beginning of November, the cold wind howled on the ground, blowing the flags and hunting in the camp.

At this time, hundreds of fully armored soldiers stood on both sides of the tent with big guns, each of them seven feet tall, holding a pestle on the ground with one hand and a knife on his waist in the other, full of energy and murderous on his face.

Niu Quan, under the guidance of a general, came to the outside of the camp tent, he was not tall, and was looked at angrily by the soldiers on both sides, and his heart and liver trembled slightly, and he felt that the soldiers of Wei Wujun were really powerful.

Because he knew about the conspiracy of Li Zicheng and his father, and knew that they didn't have any good intentions, Niu Quan saw that Wei Wu's soldiers were a little weak-hearted, and walked into the big tent with some trembling.

As soon as he came in, he saw two rows of neatly draped generals in the tent, sitting in a precarious position without squinting, wearing a scarlet python robe, a jade belt around his waist, leather boots on his feet, and Gao Yihuan wearing a beam crown on his head, sitting on a handsome seat with a golden sword, squinting at him coming in.

It was the first time that Niu Quan had been stared at by so many fierce generals, and he couldn't help sweating a little on his forehead, but as the son of Niu Venus, he was also in power in Dashun, and he was a person who had seen the scene, and he did not lose his temper.

At this time, Niu Quan's eyes met Gao Yihuan slightly, and he immediately lowered his head, buried his head between his arms, demonstrated his panic, and then saluted: "On the order of Emperor Dashun, I came to visit Gao Dashuai!" ”

"Phew! What did Li Zicheng ask you to do? There was no need for Gao Yihuan to speak, Hu Dawei stood up, and he shouted violently, making Bai Wenxuan beside him hurt, his eardrums hurt, and he was startled.

Niu Quan in the tent was also shocked and trembled, he didn't distinguish the source of the voice, and his mind that had just stabilized was a little chaotic, so he didn't raise his head, and hurriedly replied: "Emperor Dashun hopes that Gao Dashuai can send troops to Luoyang to force the Qing army on the southern road to come back." For this reason, I specially ordered me to bring 2,500,000 taels of silver to reward the tall and handsome! ”

"Hahaha~" Gao Yihuan laughed, and then waved his hand to let Hu Dawei sit down.

He looked at Niu Quan, showed a look of concern, and asked, "Ben Shuai heard that the Shun army was defeated in Fuping, I don't know what the situation is now?" ”

Niu Quan was yelled at by Hu Dawei, panicked in his heart, didn't think about it, and said according to Niu Jinxing's explanation, "After the first battle of Fuping, the vitality of the army was greatly injured and retreated to the south bank of the Wei River, and the situation was not optimistic, so Dashun was willing to spend 2.5 million silver and asked the commander to send troops to help." ”

Gao Yihuan frowned slightly, "So you say that the north of the Wei River, all of them are lost?" Gao Yihuan didn't wait for him to reply, and asked again: "If this is the case, the situation can be said to be quite serious!" ”

He glanced at Niu Quan, "Ben Shuai sent troops, can he still be in a hurry?" ”

"It's just in time!" Niu Quan heard that Gao Yihuan had the intention of going on an expedition, and couldn't help but raise his head, "As long as Gao Dashuai sends troops to Luoyang and restrains the Duoduo army, Dashun will be able to draw troops and defeat the Qing army on the North Road." ”

Gao Yihuan sneered in his heart, and suddenly said: "This matter is known to the handsome. The eastern captives are the great enemy of the world, and the army of this commander gathered in Nanyang in order to resist the captives. Niu Shilang can go back and inform that the commander will send troops as soon as possible, and Wei Wujun will resist the captured soldiers. ”

When Niu Quan heard this, his heart was immediately overjoyed, "Handsome and righteous!" ”

Gao Yihuan waved his hand and asked casually, "By the way, my brother Zhou, why didn't you come this time?" ”

Zhou Ronghua and Gao Yihuan got too close, Niu Jinxing was afraid that he would hear something and leak it to Gao Yihuan, so he didn't let him come over.

Niu Quan was slightly stunned, but immediately said: "Gao Dashuai is talking about Zhou Ronghua!" This dispatch of troops was a major event, and he did not have enough weight, so the imperial court sent me to replace him. ”

Gao Yihuan was even more puzzled in his heart, Zhou Ronghua couldn't be a chief envoy, but it was no problem to be a deputy envoy, but he still smiled on his face: "Okay, Niu Shilang can go back to Guanzhong." ”

After speaking, Gao Yihuan waved his hand and signaled him to leave, Niu Quan felt that it was a little too easy, but Gao Yihuan had already issued an eviction order, so he could only retire.

As soon as the others left, Zhao Daxian stood up, "Dashuai, are we really going to fight Luoyang?" Duoduo left Kong Youde's 30,000 army in charge, and we, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have an effect! ”

"What Luoyang?" Gao Yihuan turned his face blank, "Li Zicheng lost all the north of the Wei River, and Ben Shuai saw that Guanzhong was about to end." Li Zicheng was defeated, and the next target of the Qing army was us. At this time, what we need to do is to increase our strength, not to consume troops! ”

Originally, Gao Yihuan still wanted to see if he could cooperate with Shunjun and delay Li Zicheng for a while, but after listening to Niu Yan's words, he changed his mind.

Gao Yihuan can send troops to attack and contain Duoduo, but it is impossible for him to fight Luoyang.

If Li Zicheng can still withstand it, Gao Yihuan can naturally send troops, because with Li Zicheng here, he consumes some troops and buys some time, which is also strategically cost-effective.

But now Li Zicheng is obviously unable to resist, no matter how strong he comes out and consumes his troops, then without Li Zicheng to resist, how can he resist the attack of the Qing army?

What's more important is that Li Zicheng is a bit abnormal this time, which makes him have doubts in his heart and smell the smell of conspiracy.

And unfortunately, Gao Yihuan happened to know that Li Zicheng slipped away from the pass in history, and it was because he was a little precautionary that he built passes in Xixiakou, Danshui and other places, and took Yunyang this year.

Although Li Zicheng's calculation is good, if Gao Yihuan didn't open his eyes, he might have been tricked.

But Gao Yihuan knew this possibility, he couldn't help but take precautions, in case Li Zicheng still took the old road, then he went to northern Henan, wouldn't he just make way for Li Zicheng?

The soldiers didn't know what Gao Yihuan was thinking, and they couldn't help but be stunned when they heard the words, and the handsome heart was too dark. Two and a half million taels of silver arrived, but he didn't do anything, this~~

But these people are not good birds, thinking about it, it's nothing, when we hit Ruzhou, the property sent to Li Zicheng was hundreds of thousands of taels. Our Wei Wujun has worked for Li Zicheng for a few years, and he has not been paid on the donkey day.

Gao Yihuan saw that the generals were full of surprise, but he said with a straight face: "Do you remember that when the Tatars attacked Guanzhong for the first time last year, Ben Shuai and Mr. Li dragged Duoduo's main force in northern Henan, and Li Zicheng raised the troops in Guanzhong, but they failed to defeat Wu Sangui and Azig!" ”

Seeing that everyone nodded, Gao Yihuan immediately said: "Now that the entire north of the Wei River is occupied by Wu Sangui and Azig, even if Ben Shuai attacks northern Henan regardless of casualties and holds Duoduo back, can Li Zicheng defeat the Qing army on the North Road?" ”

Gao Yihuan didn't wait for them to answer, and then replied to himself: "Ben Shuai thinks, I can't say that it is impossible, but the odds of winning are definitely not high, once the Wei River freezes, Li Zicheng will probably not be able to stop the Qing army, I am afraid that there is no chance of winning one or two." What if our side fights fiercely in northern Henan, Li Zicheng is defeated in Guanzhong again, and the Qing army comes to fight us? ”

He glanced at everyone, "What's even more terrifying is that what if Li Zicheng takes advantage of our troops, takes the South Shang Road, rushes into Nanyang, and escapes?" ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this, but they didn't expect Gao Yihuan to think so much.

Gao Yihuan suddenly looked at Fang Jiayu and asked, "Deputy Envoy Fang, Niu Quan came all the way, did he have any abnormal behavior?" ”

Fang Jiayu hurriedly got up and clenched his fists, "Returning to the handsome, there is nothing else, it's just that he seems to be particularly concerned about the passes along the way!" ”

The generals immediately fell silent, couldn't help but look at each other, and Hu Dawei said: "Then the big handsome means that we don't move?" ”

Gao Yihuan's eyes narrowed, "Ben Shuai just said that Li Zicheng is defeated, and the next target of the Qing army is us, so it is impossible not to move!" Ben Shuai had two preparations, one was to order Xu Heihu to continue to attack and harass northern Henan and contain the Qing army on the southern road from entering Guanzhong. Erma~"

In the Shun military camp in the north of Xi'an, Li Zicheng walked back and forth in the big tent, his face full of anxiety.

Today, it began to snow in Guanzhong, which is very bad news for Li Zicheng.

As long as the heavy snow lasts for a few days, the Wei River may freeze, and at that time, the entire Wei River Plain will be trampled by the Qing army's iron cavalry, and the Shun army will only be left to be passively beaten.

At this time, he was anxiously walking back and forth, the curtain was suddenly lifted, and a gust of cold wind poured into the big tent, Li Zi turned around when he was established, and saw Niu Jinxing wrapped in a mink cloak, and walked in with a smile, "Your Majesty, Gao Yihuan has agreed to send troops!" ”

When Li Zicheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and grabbed Niu Jinxing's arm, "This is true!" ”

Niu Jinxing nodded, but his face was embarrassed, "Your Majesty, he did agree, but that guy asked Your Majesty to give another million!" ”

Li Zicheng's hands stiffened, and the muscles on his face twitched instantly~
