Wang Huan showed a glance at the letter, his face was still calm, but his heart was uneven, and between the lines, two meanings were revealed.
In a few sentences, the front is written impassionedly, with surging blood, "the world is important", "life and death are outside", expressing the willingness of blocking Yinxi to worry about the country and the people, and willing to do his best for the Zhu family, which is an extremely rare loyal minister among the officials in the late Ming Dynasty.
But the last two sentences are a little meaningful.
"You don't enter Huguang, and tin doesn't enter Sichuan."
Wang Huan closed his eyes and pondered, played for a moment, and immediately reacted, Du Yinxi was not at ease with himself!
In the chaotic times at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was very common for generals to fight across provinces, Zuo Liangyu, Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao and other famous generals fought with the peasant army, often across thousands of miles, and it was very common to go back and forth to several provinces within a year.
Plugging Yinxi came out like this, it was nothing more than worrying that Wang Huan would not be subordinate, Huguang is the barrier of the imperial court, once there is a mistake, there will be endless troubles, so put forward the conditions first, I will not interfere with you in the southwest and northwest to claim the king and hegemony, and you should not enter Huguang to expand the territory, everyone will do things for the court together, and each will do their own work.
Wang Huan smiled bitterly and opened his eyes.
"Ahem!" Gao Yigong next to him coughed a few times.
Wang Huan looked at him, only to see that the high-speed railman looked embarrassed, glanced at the letterhead in Wang Huan's hand a few times and wanted to say goodbye, the bearded man seemed to feel the complicated mentality of the master, and he fell down one by one.
Wang Huan looked at his appearance and knew that this upright man must know what was written in the letter, and when he set off, Du Yinxi should give him an explanation.
"General Gao, how is the battle in Changsha going?" Wang Huan didn't want to embarrass him, after all, he was not the one in charge, so he put away the letterhead, deliberately diverted the topic, and asked casually.
Gao Yigong's face was a little flushed with embarrassment, and he replied absentmindedly: "That, it's very smooth, it's very smooth, Li Xianggong is in front of the overseer, and the big man is strategizing in the back, plus the cooperation of Governor He, the generals are attentive, and the three armies are killed, although Changsha is a strong city, it is surrounded like an iron bucket, and it can be taken down every day." β
"So good! Changsha, most of Huguang fell into the pocket of the imperial court, the Qing court did not have many military horses in the north of Huguang, Changsha, Huguang was shocked, and it was easy to recover the whole province. Wang Huan smiled, and said to Gao Yigong while bowing his hand to the east.
Gao Yigong smiled uneasily, and replied: "Uncle Wang's mind will definitely be brought to Lord Du." β
He was in an upset mood at the moment, and unconsciously changed Wang Huan's title, from General Wang to Uncle Wang, and demoted himself to the last general, which shows how uncomfortable it is for this straightforward military man to hide his guilt.
The two of them fell silent and did not speak, and the atmosphere became strangely awkward, and fell into an embarrassing silence.
Wang Huan was thinking about his thoughts, pondering his future development ideas, while Gao Yigong was constantly peeking at Wang Huan's face, and a basin-sized black face was getting redder and more unnatural.
Finally, the high-speed ironsmith couldn't hold back and spoke rudely.
"Uncle, this, this, I don't know where your army is going next?" He clenched the reins with both hands, crumbling the leather rope until it almost broke.
"Oh?" Wang Huan was woken up by him, looked up from his contemplation, and replied strangely, "Where are you going?" After stopping this Qing army, we will naturally return to Sichuan. β
"Back to Sichuan? Oooooo Gao Yigong was like being amnesty, and all his worries were gone, and the whole person suddenly became relaxed, and quietly wiped the sweat on his forehead: "That's great!" β
Feeling the strange eyes of Wang Huan, Li Dingguo and others, Gao Yigong hurriedly explained: "Uh!? This, the last general said, the uncle blocked the back road alone in the lake, and spent a lot of time, the soldiers were homesick, and they could go back to have a good rest and recuperate, yes, rest and recuperate. β
The smile on his face was worse than crying.
Wang Huan didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, his eyes were clear, full of kindness like a baby.
Gao Yigong didn't dare to look at him, he looked left and right in a panic, looked up at the sky for a while and looked down at the ground for a while, but he didn't dare to look at Wang Huan, that black face was almost suffocated into a red like a monkey's buttocks.
After holding back for a while, Gao Yigong's temperament was finally suffocated to the bottom line, he hit each other with both hands, slapped him, pulled the reins, stood still and roared loudly: "No matter, it's so fucking aggrieved!" When did Lao Gao do such a shameless thing! Uncle, don't blame Lao Gao for being rude, it's really hard to disobey the military order, the governor has something to say first, and Gao wants to watch the uncle leave Huguang before he can return to his life! β
Wang Huan turned his horse and said indifferently: "I know." β
Gao Yigong continued to roar: "This is not Lao Gao's own meaning, to be honest, the uncle can use 2,000 troops to base 30,000 Tartars to protect the back road for the governor of Huguang who has nothing to do with him, and another person will definitely not do this, and the uncle will do it, so righteous, Lao Gao is convinced, you friend, Lao Gao has made a decision!" β
Wang Huan smiled, his smile was sincere and sincere, and he said happily: "You are a friend, I have also made up my mind!" β
Gao Yigong shook his beard, urged the horse to approach, his black face finally faded red, and he said happily: "Uncle doesn't blame me for not being righteous?" Don't blame the governor for ignoring kindness? β
Wang Huan took a breath and sighed: "The situation is pressing, and blocking the governor is also a last resort, after all, in these years, there are too many people like Zuo Liangyu, and there are too few people like Zhou Yafu." β
He turned his head sideways and smiled at Gao Yigong: "After you go back, reply to Governor Du, just say that what he mentioned in the letter, I should go down, so that he doesn't have to worry." β
Gao Yigong was stunned, stunned, and speechless.
And Li Dingguo and others, although they didn't see what was written on the letter of Plug Yinxi, but from the conversation between Wang Huan and Gao Yigong, they roughly guessed anything, and they all looked deeply frowning and puzzled.
"However, I have two small conditions, and I also want to ask General Gao to bring a message back." Wang Huan waited for a long time, and said slowly: "Please block the governor to think about it." β
Gao Yigong hurriedly replied: "Uncle But it doesn't hurt to say it, just rush the uncle to fight against the Tartars, and the governor will definitely agree." β
"Good!" Wang Huan raised two fingers, squinted his eyes and said, "One condition is that I want all the tiger squat cannons in your army, along with the gunners in your army!" β
Gao Yigong immediately felt a pain in his flesh, and his face twitched, obviously those tiger squatting cannons were extremely precious to him, but this person was straight, and he still did not hesitate to admit that he was in pain: "There is no problem, it can be done immediately." β
Wang was happy and retracted a finger: "Second, please block the governor after he conquers Changsha, and give me 100 people from Huguang cannon casting craftsmen." β
