In the temporary festival hall in Yuncheng, Gao Yihuan and Chen Mingxia sat together.

At this time, Gao Yihuan retreated, waited for the guards to leave, closed the door, and immediately began to look at the person in front of him.

He saw that Chen Mingxia was less than forty years old, white and clean, handsome, with a few long beards under his forehead, and a few readable arrogances on his face.

It's not strange, Tanhualang, the third in the world, can you not be arrogant?

After Gao Yihuan sat down, Chen Mingxia looked at him for a while, and suddenly said: "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of being down, I have something to ask the general, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

Gao Yihuan smiled and raised his hand, "Sir, it's okay to say." ”

"I don't know the general's ambition, in Zhongzhou?" Chen Mingxia paused deliberately, looking at Gao Yihuan, wanting to observe his expression, "Or in the world?" ”

Gao Yihuan's eyes narrowed, his heart was like being hit by a deer, and he couldn't help but secretly say, "This is a bit exciting!" ”

Gao Yihuan, a scholar, has also met a lot, and it is the first time he has met someone who dares to say this, Gao Yihuan's heart is beating and he is very interested in this topic.

"How is it in Midstate? What about the world? Gao Yihuan remained silent and cooperated with him.

Chen Mingxia, "Although Zhongzhou is good, it is the land of four wars. The general's ambition is only in Zhongzhou, which is just a momentary hero, and it is difficult to achieve great things. For example, Zhang Xiu and Wang Shichong will inevitably make wedding dresses for others, not to mention their own lives, and they will also be deployed. In the next place, he will not bother the general, and leave and go away. ”

Gao Yihuan's face twitched, he didn't expect Chen Mingxia to speak so directly, he squinted and said, "What about in the world?" ”

Chen Mingxia said with a smile: "When there is chaos today, and it is clear that it is lost, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Dongyu all want to win the crown. These three are far superior to the general's strength, how can the general seek the world? ”

Although it was only a few words, Gao Yihuan felt that this Chen Mingxia was very interesting, and he was very interested in his appetite, so he didn't give him any set of loyalty, he didn't play false, he asked very real questions, and they were also questions that Gao Yihuan had thought about at night.

The land of the four wars in Zhongzhou is indeed not easy to break the situation, and if you don't get it right, you will be trapped and die in Henan.

This problem, his subordinates are worried, but no one helps him solve it, it is Gao Yihuan who wants to make a statement and think of a strategy to appease the deployment.

There is someone to discuss this topic with him today, Gao Yihuan is still very interested, and I hope to gain something.

For a while, Gao Yihuan sat up straight and said: "Strength and weakness are not fixed, not irreversible. There are five people held by Gao, one of them is worried about the world, second, the people's hearts under the rule are attached, third, the rewards and punishments are clear, the soldiers dare to fight, the fourth is the only move, and the fifth is good at admonishment! With these five points, can you compete for the world? ”

Chen Mingxia looked at Gao Yihuan with some surprise, and suddenly smiled: "This just shows that the general has this foundation, but the general has not planned the world." ”

Gao Yihuan smiled, suddenly stood up, and waved at Chen Mingxia, "Naturally, I have to ask Mr. to teach me, I am the most accepting!" ”

Chen Mingxia had never seen such an immodest person, but Gao Yihuan had already aroused his interest.

As a Tanhualang, Chen Mingxia naturally has a political ambition in his heart, and it is not a hasty decision who he wants to turn to. First of all, we should take a look at whether the forces that have taken refuge have potential, and if they are destined to perish, or be annexed, then why take refuge?

Chen Mingxia went south from Beijing and wanted to seek refuge in the Southern Ming court, but the Southern Ming court put him in the Shun case, so that he could not return to Jiangnan and could only stay in Jiangbei.

At this time, he happened to meet Liang Yizhang, who helped Gao Yihuan recruit talents, and felt that this Gao Yihuan was very far-sighted, so he decided to come to Henan to have a look.

In order to retain the recruited talents, Liang Yizhang took them first, from Luyi to Runing, and saw a lot of novelties along the way, and also saw patches of fertile fields, like a paradise.

Many officials who went south decided to stay after only turning around, but after he arrived in Runing, he inquired about some military and political strategies in southern Henan, and then he was a little tempted and decided to meet Gao Yihuan.

Today, he talked with Gao Yihuan and decided to stay.

At this time, when he saw Gao Yihuan, he hurriedly stood up and returned a salute, "I am willing to serve the general." ”

"Hahaha~" The two straightened up and couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.

"Sir, please be seated!" Gao Yihuan laughed for a while, sat down anew, and then asked, "Please also ask Mr. to solve your doubts!" ”

Chen Mingxia said: "Since the Jiashen State Change, the Dongyu has entered the customs, and the situation in the world has changed greatly. Li Zicheng Kejing Division, died in the Ming Dynasty, but was defeated by the Eastern Captives. Today, Dongyu has covered the lands of Liao, Yan, Qi and Jin, with 200,000 strong troops, and there is no opponent in the world. Those who fight for the world with the generals are not Nanming, and they will be captured in the east. ”

"Nanming covers the land of Jiangdong, Lianghuai, Chu and Guangdong, although the territory is vast and seems to be powerful, but it is difficult to change the shortcomings, it is actually porcelain on the case, and it will be broken when touched. If there is no eastern captivity, the general can figure it out, but the eastern captives are in the north, eyeing the tiger, if the general and the Southern Ming are fighting, the Southern Ming will die, and the general will also die. The general and the Ming are really interdependent. ”

Gao Yihuan nodded, which was in line with his thoughts, "The captives are strong, it is difficult for me to compete, and Nanming is unrealistic, so how to solve the situation of being trapped in Zhongzhou." ”

Chen Mingxia said: "The eastern captives are powerful, and since the Liao incident, the Ming Dynasty's money, grain, and strong brigades have all been destroyed in the Liao incident. When the East captives were outside the pass, the Ming Dynasty gathered the power of the world, it was still difficult to fight, and now the East captives entered the pass, and the land of Liao, Yan, Qi and Jin, and the world has fallen apart, it is even more difficult to resist. If the Dongyu re-enter Shaanxi and Kou Sichuan, the Dongyu will no longer be contained, advance and retreat freely, and can deal with the southeast with all their might, and the general and Nanming will inevitably be unstoppable. ”

If the Qing army occupies Guanzhong and Sichuan, then Gao Yihuan will indeed be passive.

Geographically speaking, there is only a corner in the southeast, and after losing Sichuan, it is basically a dead country, with almost no exceptions.

"What does that mean, sir?" Gao Yihuan frowned and asked.

Chen Mingxia said: "Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's generation, lacking a foundation, it is difficult to achieve great things, and sooner or later they will be destroyed by the Dongyu." Qinchuan, which is 800 miles away from Guanzhong, can be the foundation of the general, but how to get it depends on timing. Too early, let the Dongyu fishermen benefit, too late, Guanzhong will fall into the hands of the Dongyu, and it will be difficult to recapture. Now that the Dongyu is in a hurry to tackle the key problems, he thinks that the general should contain the Dongyu and let him and Li Zicheng consume. and self-success or failure, and the vitality of Dongyu is also greatly damaged. At that time, if the Dongyu re-entered Sichuan, the general could take the opportunity to enter Guanzhong, and then destroy the army of Sichuan, seize Sichuan, and cover up the momentum of strong Qin, then great events can be expected. ”

Gao Yihuan's original idea was to take Shu first, and then Guanzhong, but if taking Shu is equivalent to a firefight with the Western Army, the Western Army is not weaker than him, and the Qing Army may still attack southern Henan, then he will be pinned. Obviously, he needs a lot of specific conditions for this plan.

Chen Mingxia meant to take Guanzhong first, and he couldn't help frowning and thinking about it.
