Gao Yingxiang was arrested, but it was not the Broken Army that found them, but Gao Yingxiang strode out alone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoWhen Gao Yingxiang, who was alone and holding a dagger, appeared in front of Liu Fan, Liu Fan was even a little incredulous.

After the two met, Gao Yingxiang didn't say anything superfluous, he only had one request, that is, to let Liu Fan let go of his brothers, and promised to properly settle those captured rogues. This request may be difficult for others to do, but it is easy for Liu Fan, because Liu Fan has no intention of slaughtering prisoners. If it was in the face of the Tartars, Liu Fan might not easily agree, but in the face of the people of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Fan did not want to kill too much, and Liu Fan finally agreed to Gao Yingxiang's request.

Aside from their respective positions, Liu Fan still admires Gao Yingxiang's choice. Out of this heart, Liu Fan did not treat Gao Yingxiang like a prisoner, except for sending people to follow and not leaving the barracks, Liu Fan did not restrict Gao Yingxiang's freedom in life. It's just a person who will die, Liu Fan doesn't want to be too demanding.

With the arrest of Gao Yingxiang, Liu Fan's expedition was also a successful end. Although it is a pity that Li Zicheng was not caught, Liu Fan was able to catch Gao Yingxiang, which can be regarded as a mess with Chongzhen. Moreover, after this great victory, the rogue in the Central Plains has fallen into a low ebb, and it is foreseeable that the rogue will not be too threatening in the next year or two. Liu Fan wants to take advantage of this opportunity to return to Shandong to develop his own power.

After this battle, Liu Fan realized his weakness and powerlessness more deeply. Sometimes Liu Fan even thinks that if he has not 10,000 people but 50,000 people in his hands when he is in the carriage gorge, will he have to wait for more than half a month? I'm afraid that the rogue will be exterminated in three or two days!

The most important thing is that it doesn't make much sense for Liu Fan to stay. Although Chen Qiyu stepped down, he was succeeded by Hong Chengchou, Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting. None of these three people is worse than Chen Qiyu, compared to the soft-hearted Chen Qiyu, Hong Chengchou is even more ruthless. is different from Chen Qiyu's main caressing, Hong Chengchou is the main one. The name of Madman Hong is not called in vain, Liu Fan can even foresee what a tragic end awaits Li Zicheng and others.

The night before returning to the capital, in the tent of the commander of the broken army, on the edge of a long case, Liu Fan and Gao Yingxiang sat opposite each other. Looking at Gao Yingxiang, who was calm and calm in front of him, Liu Fan raised his glass and said with a smile: "King Chuang, speaking of which, this is the second time we have met, although Liu does not agree with King Chuang's actions, he has to say that he admires, you are a person worthy of admiration!" ”

Gao Yingxiang also raised his wine glass and drank it, and said, "The general of the defeated army, how can he be brave?" Gao is just a prisoner, and he will be a dying person in the future, so he doesn't deserve such praise from General Liu! Speaking of which, General Liu is admirable, at a young age, he is already in a high position. Daming has you, maybe there is still a little hope! ”

Liu Fan heard this, but said with a wry smile: "The building is about to fall, and it is difficult to support it alone." Liu Fan is covered in iron, and how many nails can he make? Wen Tianxiang said that military attaches are not afraid of death, and civil officials are not greedy for money, so that the world can live and work in peace and contentment! But if you look at the present, civilian officials ignore the country's righteousness for their own selfish interests, but the Ming Dynasty has a million-strong army that is about to collapse at the touch of a button. There is no greater end to the dynasty than this! ”

Gao Yingxiang stared at Liu Fan with blazing eyes, and said, "Since General Liu also knows that the Ming Dynasty is going to end, why do you still give your life to that Chongzhen child?" For what kind of high-ranking officials? A beautiful wife and a beautiful concubine? Or is it loyalty? ”

Liu Fan was silent for a while before he said slowly: "There may be some beautiful wives and concubines, but the rest are not what I want!" To be honest, I'm not a native of the Ming Dynasty. I came back from overseas three years ago, so it doesn't mean much to me whether it's loyal or high-ranking officials! ”

Gao Yingxiang was even more curious, and couldn't help but say, "Then you can tell me, what are you for?" I think General Liu is out of place in the current imperial court, and what he does is to put the people first everywhere, are you not for the sake of all living beings in the world? ”

Liu Fan attracted Gao Yingxiang's gaze and said firmly, "Yes, what I am doing is for my Han nation to not be trampled on by the Tartars!" For this goal, I can be the enemy of all people! You, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, the gentry of the world, or the son of tomorrow! ”

Gao Yingxiang glanced at Liu Fan in shock and said, "If you tell me this, aren't you afraid that I will say it?" ”

Liu Fan shook his head and said, "Don't be afraid, you don't have a chance to say it, even if you do, no one will believe what you say!" Because you are a thief! It's a thief! No one will believe what an anti-thief leader says! ”

Gao Yingxiang sighed helplessly, and said dejectedly, "You are right, who will believe what I say as a dying person?" But what are you telling me all this for? Show me your superiority? Your justice? Then I can tell you definitively, I don't think what you're doing is right! Thousands of people in the world who are struggling on the brink of death will not think you are right! ”

Liu Fan smiled and said, "I just want to talk to someone, you are a good candidate, no matter what I say today, you can only take it to the grave, so I am very relieved." ”

Gao Yingxiang didn't speak again, picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, then clenched the wine glass, looked at Liu Fan with a calm gaze and sneered, "General Liu, you shouldn't have invited me here." The ancients said that within a few minutes, everyone was an enemy country! You and I are less than ten steps now, I am going to kill you, do you think you can escape? ”

Liu Fan smiled indifferently and said disdainfully, "Since I dare to invite you here, I am fully prepared, if you dare to move, more than a dozen arrows will shoot you into a hornet's nest!" King Chuang, although you are brave and righteous, you are not too smart. Compared with Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, you are still too far behind. Even if I don't arrest you today, you won't be able to escape today's fate in the future! ”

Gao Yingxiang's hand holding the wine glass gradually loosened, because he believed that Liu Fan would not lie to him at this time. Moreover, Liu Fan treated each other politely, and Gao Yingxiang could not bear to do things that would take revenge. After a long time, Gao Yingxiang slowly raised his head and said miserably: "No matter what Bingzhong or Hongji does, it has nothing to do with me!" General Liu, thank you for your hospitality today, Gao has confessed his feelings! ”

Liu Fan picked up the wine glass and said slowly, "Gao Yingxiang, do you know why I call you Liukou?" That's because you are a group of rebels with no goal, you just rebel for the sake of rebellion, but you never think about why you are rebelling! You only know how to destroy, and you shout that you are the master of the people, and what you are doing is indeed slaughtering the people. You are just a destroyer and a cancer to the people of the world, so I want to eradicate you! ”

Ignoring Gao Yingxiang's stunned expression, Liu Fan stood up and continued, "The power of the people is infinite, but it's a pity that you won't use it!" You don't have a chance, but when you die, maybe Li Zicheng or Zhang Xianzhong will tell you, I, Liu Fan! How to use this power! (To be continued.) )
