Chapter 125: Gathering the Gentry

The second brother didn't expect Niu Jinxing to recommend him, so that he was originally only in Runing, but now he has the opportunity to meddle in the military affairs of the southern prefectures and counties of Yuzhou, and his power is immediately expanded.

Li Zicheng looked at Gao Yihuan's expression, smiled, and then continued: "The widow has decided to take advantage of the situation to break through Tongguan in the west, take Sanqin as the foundation, and then go east to Beijing, but Zuo Liangyu is very difficult, the widow beats him, he wants to run, the widow does not beat him, he will follow him again." Niu Junshi recommended you to prepare for the southern Henan army to defend Zuo Liangyu, you have the confidence to block Zuo Liangyu for the widow! ”

The second brother didn't think about Niu Jinxing's affairs first, he listened to Li Zicheng's words, thought about it a little in his heart, and then hugged his fists and said: "The king values the minister so much, the minister dares not to die, it's just ~"

Li Zicheng is in a good mood now, he didn't wait for Gao Yihuan to finish speaking, he waved his hand and said: "If you have any difficulties, you can say it directly, don't mother-in-law and mother~"

Gao Yihuan immediately said: "Back to the king, the minister just ambushed Zuo Liangyu in Yuncheng and killed him to a big defeat, so the king asked the minister to resist Zuo Liangyu, and the minister was never afraid of him." It's just that Zuo Liangyu has a lot of people after all, but the minister's department is not fully clothed, if he can have more armor, the minister's grasp will be greater. ”

"Yuncheng ambushed Zuo Liangyu, are you also involved?" Li Zicheng frowned slightly, with doubts on his face.

Gao Yihuan hurriedly bowed down and said: "This matter was planned by the minister, and it was recommended that General Zhao Yingyuan carry it out." ”

Li Zicheng's eyes narrowed and he was silent for a while, but he didn't continue to talk about it, but asked, "Yihuan, how much armor is missing from your department." ”

Gao Yihuan saw Li Zicheng's expression, and knew that Lao Zhao was in trouble, he sneered in his heart, asked Guisun to swallow Lao Tzu's credit, and then replied: "Xiaochen is still more than 4,000 sets!"

Li Zicheng thought for a while and waved his hand and said: "The widow will give you two thousand sets of armor, you keep an eye on Zuo Liangyu for the widow, if he steps into Henan, the widow is the only one who asks." ”

"The minister received the order, and he will not let Zuo Liangyu go north." Gao Yihuan solemnly clenched his fists.

Li Zicheng nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you go!" Go back to Runing as soon as possible and bring the grain and grass that the widow wants. ”

The second brother of the high school got the title of a mighty general, and also the title of the military preparation road in southern Henan, in principle, the second brother can intervene in the military affairs and war preparedness matters of the southern states and counties of Yuzhou.

The military preparation is not a special lack, and there is no grade in itself, but the grade of the person who serves as the military preparation is based on his own official rank.

In fact, the nature of the military preparation road is similar to that of the governor, and it is mostly set up for temporary purposes. The rank of the governor also corresponds to the original rank of the official, because the governor has more titles of imperial history, so most of them are second-grade, and the military preparation is one grade worse than the governor, most of them are four or five grades.

Five hundred taels of gold, in such a position, Niu Jinxing is relatively fair. This time, Niu Jinxing can be regarded as keeping his sign of being a child, which makes the second brother feel that this person can still cooperate in the future.

Li Zicheng finally made the same choice in the original history, entering Guanzhong in the west, taking the land of Sanqin as the foundation, and then conquering Beijing in the east.

After the second brother Gao got the mighty general and the southern Henan army, he took the opportunity to ask Li Zicheng for a little armor on the grounds of guarding against Zuo Liangyu, and hurriedly led Zhao Zhuzi to return to Runing Mansion with silver and two thousand sets of armor, and Liu Heizi also returned to Guide with his men and horses.

At the end of December, Gao Yihuan returned to Runing City, during his departure, Lu Yifang walked around the territory of Runing, most of the county towns were afraid of Li Zicheng's killing, and they all chose to surrender, only Liu Hongqi, a local tyrant who was divided from Suiping, was unwilling to surrender.

On this day, in the Yaya of Ruzhou Mansion, the second brother was talking to Lu Yifang, "I've been gone for so long, haven't you figured out the matter between General Tiger and Wang Yan?" ”

Lu Yifang replied, "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't come reluctantly." General Hu and Wang Yanshi are both strong-willed people, and the general must be patient, once they sincerely surrender, the general will immediately have two more arms. ”

With the news of Sun Chuanting's defeat, the will of the captured officials was shaken, and more than a dozen officials who were locked up in a courtyard surrendered one after another, and recently they surrendered four in a row, leaving only Hu Dawei and Wang Shicong still resisting.

The second brother Gao was a little unhappy when he heard this, and complained: "I protect the safety of Runing's mansion and save the people of Runing from military disasters, and I do better than the imperial court, why can't these two people turn a corner?" They are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, don't they just want to protect the peace of the people? ”

Lu Yifang didn't answer his words, and at this time, Zhao Zhuzi reported outside the door: "Second brother, the squires from all counties are here. ”

After the second brother returned to Runing, he sent people to the counties to inform the local squires and asked them to choose a few representatives to come to Runing to discuss matters.

"Let them go to the lobby later, and I'll be there." Gao Yihuan turned his head to Lu Yifang and said, "Fujun, let's go together!" ”

The squires who came to Runing this time are all big families in Runing, there are more than 20 people in total, except for Suiping, no one came, and there are basically two or three people from other counties, representing the gentry of various counties.

Li Zicheng garrisoned Nanyang, which was next door to Runing, which made these big families panic and really worried, so as soon as Lu Yifang persuaded them, the counties surrendered one after another, hoping to avoid a military disaster.

At this time, everyone in the lobby was talking, talking about the current situation, worried about whether this bandit leader surnamed Gao could shelter them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have come from other counties, and you don't know much about General Gao. General Gao is different from Li Zicheng, he is a person of Li Gongzi in Qixian County, he cherishes the people very much, and he is also very good at talking. There was a commotion in the hall, and a squire from the city stood up, waved his hand to silence everyone, and then said a few words in a loud voice.

This squire's name is Chen Yexiong, and because he lives in Fucheng, he knows a little about Gao Yihuan, and he has also met the second brother Gao a few times.

At this time, a soldier outside the hall suddenly shouted: "Everyone, my general and Lu Fujun have arrived!" ”

Many squires were busy quieting down, and they all stood up to greet them, this is no better than the Ming Dynasty, the squire's power is complicated, and they can always find friends, relatives, and fellow disciples who are officials in the court, and they can not put local officials in their eyes, they have no power in the new dynasty, so they are honestly frightened.

"You've been waiting for a long time!" The second brother and Lu Yifang strode into the hall, and after they each sat down in their seats, they immediately raised their hands and pressed them, and said with a smile: "Don't be restrained, everyone sit down." ”

At the moment, everyone was sitting on both sides, and the squires from other counties did not know Gao Yihuan, and the reason why they were willing to come was mostly because they trusted Lu Yifang, the prefect of the Ming Dynasty.

They saw that Gao Yihuan was a little restrained, half of his butt sat on the seat, you look at me, I see that no one speaks to you. At this time, Chen Yexiong stood up and saluted: "General Gao, I don't know what the situation is on King Chuang's side, is the army from Nanyang coming to Runing?" ”

Chen Yexiong asked, if the gentry wanted to ask, if Li Zicheng wanted to come to Runing, then they were ready to abandon their family and business and run south.

At that moment, all eyes were on the second brother, and the second brother's face changed as soon as he said it, and it instantly became solemn, making everyone's heart fall to the bottom immediately, and Lu Yifang on the side saw his expression change, and he also turned his face up, but he couldn't help laughing in his heart, this guy is going to start acting again, cheating people out of money~
