Gao Yihuan looked at Xu Yixian's expression and felt that Li Dingguo really wanted to exchange for more than 800 Western Army, as well as Bai Wenxuan.

At first, Gao Yihuan's attention was on Bai Wenxuan, but he was reluctant to let Bai Wenxuan go.

This is like collecting fierce generals in the Three Kingdoms, and the number of fierce generals and strategists represents the size of their own snobbery.

Gao Yihuan also has the desire to collect famous generals in the late Ming Dynasty, and now he only collects Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren, two generals with low loyalty, and he naturally wants to have more Bai Wenxuan.

However, putting aside this factor, thinking about Li Dingguo's proposal to exchange prisoners, Gao Yihuan felt that it contained a very useful information for him.

Li Dingguo sincerely wanted to exchange for Bai Wenxuan, but Gao Yihuan opened his mouth and exchanged more than 800 Western troops for more than 20,000 prisoners, which Li Dingguo obviously couldn't accept.

Xu Yiming saw that Gao Yihuan did not let go, and felt that this person seemed to have deliberately put forward such a condition, and he did not want to really exchange.

At this time, the negotiations reached an impasse, and it was impossible for the Western Army to exchange 20,000 men for 800 men, and the matter could no longer be discussed, so he exhaled and wanted to say goodbye and leave.

At this time, Gao Yihuan suddenly changed his tone and asked, "Mr. Xu doesn't agree with Ben General's conditions, so how do you want to exchange?" ”

After Xu Yixian heard this, he took back the words that came to his mouth.

In view of Gao Yihuan's outrageous requirements, if Xu Yixian lowered the conditions, he might break up in two, so he directly said the bottom line, "One for five!" The general handed over all the captured people to us, and General Li was willing to exchange five times as many people. ”

When Gao Yihuan heard this, he immediately laughed in his heart, but he pretended to mutter: "Yesterday, your General Li almost overshadowed the general, but fortunately, the general was wise and martial and detected your conspiracy. This condition could have been considered, but whether the exchange is fraudulent or not, I still need to discuss with my subordinates, Mr. Xu is temporarily resting in the city, waiting for my reply. ”

Xu Yixian frowned slightly, and was wondering in his heart, but Zhao Zhuzi on the side stretched out his hand, "Mr. Xu, please." ”

Gao Yihuan waited for Xu Yixian to leave, and then hurried back to the Shuai Mansion and asked his father to discuss.

He first said the exchange, and Gao Zurong nodded, "In terms of attitude, you have to change this matter, but in terms of specific operations, you can make a fuss." ”

Gao Yihuan touched his short beard, "Li Dingguo is willing to exchange five times as many people for these eight hundred people, what does my father think?" ”

Gao Zurong also stroked his goatee, pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Yihuan, for the sake of my father, Li Dingguo is afraid that he doesn't want to fight." ”

Gao Yihuan immediately showed a smile on his face, and said a little excitedly, "Dad, I think so too." These more than 800 Western army prisoners, in my hands, I can't use them to defend the city, but I need to send people to guard it. Li Dingguo's willingness to release 5,000 people back to me is equivalent to allowing me to strengthen the defense of Xiangyang. If he can make such a decision, it means that he has wavered and does not want to attack Xiangyang. ”

The father and son thought together, and once they figured out Li Dingguo's thoughts, Gao Yihuan would be able to take the initiative later.

Gao Zurong squinted and smiled: "Yi Huan, that Xu Yixian is still in the city, right?"

Gao Yihuan saw the treacherous smile on the old man's face, and knew that the old man had a plan, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Still in the city, I kept him."

"That's good, since Li Dingguo has been shaken, then we can devise a plan to urge him to make up his mind to retreat south." Gao Zurong said with a smile.

Gao Yihuan was still a little worried, "Dad, Li Dingguo is very tight, and he has a plan against him, but you have to be cautious, in case he sees through it, it will not be beautiful." ”

"Yihuan can rest assured that this plan for his father is not directly aimed at Li Dingguo, but against Xu Yixian." Gao Zurong asked: "Yihuan, do you know, why do you say that Xiucai rebelled for three years?"

Gao Yihuan was stunned for a moment, but still said, "Because Xiu knows a lot, thinks a lot, and naturally has a lot of scruples." ”

Gao Zurong nodded, "That's right, people who read just think a lot." Tonight, you can ask the soldiers who are guarding Cheng to go to Fancheng quietly, and then come back from the pontoon bridge tomorrow morning, don't show Xu Yixian directly, it's better to hide it and let him guess by himself. In addition, you have to agree to the exchange without hesitation, but in the exchange, you have to deliberately delay the time. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Yihuan had already laughed and understood what Gao Zurong meant, "Dad, you want Xu Yixian to think that our main force is about to arrive in Xiangfan, and I deliberately delay, the purpose is to wait for the main force to come and kill them by surprise." ”

Gao Zurong leaked an expression worthy of being my son, "Well, scholars are easy to think too much, I guess he will definitely persuade Li Dingguo to retreat." ”

Gao Yihuan's eyes rolled, "Dad, I think that before I use this strategy, I can still trap him once and get some prisoners from outside the city, especially the soldiers from Nanyang." ”

Although Gao Yihuan didn't want to exchange Song Chengjiang and these bandit leaders back, there was no problem in choosing a few people among the 20,000 people.

Population is a resource, especially adult men, even if they are sent to the manor to farm, it is also a good thing.

Gao Zurong saw that Gao Yihuan could continue to enrich his ideas, and the two couldn't help but look at each other and smile, so they began to ponder and analyze in the Shuaifu, striving to improve every detail.

Xu Yixian was led to a courtyard by Zhao Zhuzi, and waited from morning to dark, and Gao Yihuan did not come.

This made him wonder in his heart, did the discussion take so long? That Gao Yihuan didn't want to put him under house arrest.

Just as Xu Yixian was lying on the bed and couldn't sleep, thinking wildly, there was a knock on the door, and the soldiers outside reported that his own general Gao was coming.

Xu Yixian hurriedly got dressed and came out, he looked up at the sky, good guy, it was already the third watch.

He followed the soldiers to a room lit with candles in the courtyard, where Gao Yihuan set up a table of wine and was already sitting and waiting with a few people.

Xu Yixian bowed his hand, Gao Yihuan let him sit down, and as soon as he sat down, the wine glass in front of him was snatched by Gao Yihuan, and he picked up the wine jug to pour him wine, "Mr. Xu, I have thought about the exchange, and I can agree, but the way of exchange must be made, and it will be decided in the future." ”

As he spoke, Gao Yihuan had already filled Xu Yixian's wine glass, and then politely sent it to him.

When Xu Yixian heard him agree, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know, how does General Gao want to exchange?" ”

"Drink first!" Gao Yihuan stretched out his hand and smiled.

Xu Yixian was also arrogant, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and was about to speak, but the wine glass was snatched away by Zhao Zhuzi again, and while pouring wine, he smiled and said: "Mr. Xu can!" Come, let's go too! ”
