Wang Jinshi was a little stunned, I knelt down for you, and you still didn't let me go.

Facing Gao Yihuan's questioning, Wang Jinshi was ashamed and angry in his heart, but since he knelt down, he couldn't give up his efforts.

"Guogong, the old man should not collude with the left army, not only to harm himself, but also to harm the fathers and elders of the city." Wang Jinshi hung his head and lost his temper completely, as if he had succumbed to Gao Yihuan's obscenity.

Gao Yihuan stared at Wang Youcai for a moment, then glanced at everyone, and suddenly said in a sullen voice: "Ben Shuai knows that you are dissatisfied with the tax law implemented by Ben Shuai in Huguang, so you want to collude with the left army." But the world is like this, Gao someone implements such a tax law, and the money and food collected go into my Gao someone's pocket? No, all this money and food are used by me to train the army, pacify the displaced people, and protect the territory and the people. ”

Gao Yihuan paused, and when he saw that these squires were said to be thoughtful, they lowered their heads one after another, but he raised his voice and said: "Here, Ben Shuai wants to ask you, do you want to collect more rent, force the people to have no way to live, so that the government can't collect taxes, and have no money to raise soldiers, and finally the rogues, warlords, and Tartars come together to kill you and rob you of the money you collect, or are you willing to give up part of the rent, so that the people have a way to live, so that Ben Shuai can collect more taxes, which can be used to train the army and resist the Tartars, warlords, and rogues, How about giving you a stable and peaceful environment? ”

All the squires, including Wang Youcai, who was kneeling, were stunned.

Gao Yihuan's voice became louder and louder, and he began to clench his fists and raise his arms, full of passion to perform, "The world has become like this now, the northern Tartars are rampant, the Bashu is the basis of the thieves, and the southern warlords are everywhere, are you willing to be born in such an unstable and dangerous environment, and live a life of worrying that the rogues, warlords, and Tartars will break into your house, take away your family wealth, and rape your wives and daughters?" I don't think anyone wants to! So why don't you support Ben Shuai and create a peaceful world? Isn't it good that you pay taxes according to the regulations, that the commander collects taxes and trains the army, that the outer Tartars are the outer ones, that the internal bandits are leveled, that the warlords are swept away, and that the accumulated evils are eliminated, and everyone performs their own duties? ”

Gao Yihuan opened his arms domineeringly, the squires were already kneeling on the ground, and Wang Jinshi was even more crying.

Yes, the left army made them understand that no matter how much rent they collect, no matter how much silver they have, if there is no order and no one to protect them, then they can only be slaughtered, but they are just fat sheep.

The reason why the gentry were interested in the imperial court was not only influenced by Confucianism, but also because the imperial court represented order, law, and rules.

Under the rule of the imperial court, everyone has a constraint, killing people to pay for their lives, paying debts, and no soldiers will rush into the house to kill people and steal money.

However, now the imperial court is weak and has lost its function of restraint, and the warlords of Zuozhen wantonly burn and plunder, but the imperial court has no way and has lost the ability to punish.

Now the gentry and people in the world are actually very confused, and they don't know what they need, but after they point it through, it is very simple, it is the word "Taiping".

At this moment, they all understood the ambition of the tall and handsome, and realized that he was not a giant, nor was he an ordinary warlord, but a great man with noble sentiments and ideals.

In fact, Gao Yihuan's ambition is far more than sweeping the world, whether it is Zhang Xianzhong, or Tartar, or the Ming Dynasty, he didn't pay attention to it.

The node of time has entered the end of the Age of Discovery, and a more exciting era is coming.

Since I have come here, I can't just sweep the Central Plains, it's so simple, I have to look at the outside world, but it's useless to talk about it now, for Gao Yihuan and his subordinates, it's relatively far away.

The squires didn't know what was going on, so they thought that what Gao Dashuai said was good, and they all knelt down one by one, expressing their support for Gao Dashuai.

Now Wang Jinshi was completely convinced, and finally figured it out in his heart, judging from his experience for so many years, he could see that Gao Dashuai was not an ordinary person, he had the appearance of a king, and he was willing to join him in an instant.

Chen Mingxia stroked his beard behind him, looked at Gao Yihuan's back, and was very satisfied.

At this time, Gao Yihuan finally bent down and helped Wang Youcai, who was in tears, up, "The old gentleman can realize that he is confused, and he can change his mistakes, and he is very relieved." Even if that silver is a fine for your atonement, we don't want to mention the past, from now on, you pay taxes, and the peace will be guarded by the commander. ”

Wang Jinshi burst into tears, freezing his snot, "The old man will not be held accountable for the old man's crime, the old man is grateful, and he is willing to serve the national government in the future, and he will abide by the rules of the national government." ”

Gao Yihuan was stunned, the old boy was very good at kicking his nose in the face, and he wanted to serve Lao Tzu.

At this time, a scout rode to the front of the palace, and when he saw Gao Yihuan, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, and whispered in his ear.

Gao Yihuan raised his eyebrows, let the scout step aside, he first personally untied the thorns on Wang Youcai's back, and then waved his hand to get a big coat, wrapped it in him, and said, "The old gentleman is frail, there are still things to do today, you all disperse." When Ben Shuai asked Zuo Liangyu for an explanation, let's talk about it in detail. ”

Wang Jinshi put on Gao Yihuan's coat, and he was so happy that he couldn't do it, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Wuchang Zuo Liangyu summoned the elite, and tens of thousands of horses gathered to the riverside, with a huge momentum and murderous atmosphere.

Ships shuttled on the river, and the left army set up a temporary wharf in Jiangbei, where hundreds of large and small ships came and went, transporting countless soldiers, baggage, grain and grass to Jiangbei.

Gao Yihuan and a group of Wei Wu officers stood on an unknown hill in the distance, scanning the left army by the river with a clairvoyant mirror, with a sneer on their faces.

"When the left army lands on the shore, it must contact Hanchuan and send someone to intercept and kill all the sentry cavalry of the left army." Gao Yihuan commanded coldly.

At this time, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, Zuo Liangyu led Li Guoying, Xu Yong and other generals to stand by the river, watching the army cross the river.

Tens of thousands of horses and horses were going to cross the Yangtze River, and troops, livestock, tents, pots and pans, grain, equipment, and other materials were spread all over the river beach, and tens of thousands of left troops were busy.

Zuo Dashuai rode a horse and stood by the river, full of ambition, looking at his own people and horses, his heart was a little excited.

Since Gao Yihuan entered Huguang, Zuo Liangyu has not fought for more than two years, and the soldiers of the Left Army are idle, and the light has plagued Wuchang.

This time Gao Yihuan was defeated in southern Henan, it was his good opportunity, Wuchang has completely withered, and it is time for him to change his nest.

I heard that Gao Yihuan managed Jingxiang well, and this time, after the general, Zuo Dashuai did not plan to return to Wuchang.

At this time, the generals of the Left Army, the stars were holding the moon and surrounding Zuo Liangyu, and their faces were very excited.

Zuo Liangyu was in high spirits, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the north bank, "Take Jingxiang, Ben Shuai will let the court make a duke, and you all have to be crowned a marquis~haha~"

As he was talking, Hou Fangyu rode over and came to Zuo Liangyu's side, bowed his head and whispered, Zuo Liangyu turned his head to look at him, his face was full of disbelief and stunned~
