Chapter 15: The Truth
"Boom", Gao Yigong was knocked off the horse, and he was injured. "Master Gao!" Gao Yigong looked at his own soldiers and said, "You can't let Li Guozhi say that I'm injured, and you just treat it as if nothing happened!" Otherwise, they will not withdraw their troops! The Tartars are constantly bombarding us, just to provoke our army to attack the city! ”
Gao Yigong pushed his own soldiers and shouted: "Don't go and report to Li Guo quickly, let him withdraw my troops no matter what!" Did you hear that? ”
"Yes!" As soon as his soldiers shouted, he jumped on his horse and went to Li Guo.
Li Guo saw Gao Yigong being attacked, he was angry in his heart and wanted to send troops, but when he saw that Gao Yigong was still shouting to retreat, he couldn't disobey!
And the personal soldiers also arrived, and he conveyed Gao Yigong's order to Li Guo. Yuan Zongdi and Liu Fangliang are also persuading that they must not disobey the order and must withdraw!
Li Guo waved his hand and said, "Withdraw!" Wu Ruyi was anxious: "Brother! Li Guo looked at him and said, "Let's go back and think about it first!" After all, it's the emperor's edict, we have to confirm it! It's true or not! ”
Hearing Li Guo say this, Wu Ruyi thought about it reasonably, so he had to go.
"Damn!" Duoduo was angry, he didn't want the Dashun army to retreat like this, he shouted: "Pull the puppet Xiangnan Hou and Zhao Hou to the city for me!" Let them see! ”
In this way, Li Zicheng's two uncles, Xiangnanhou and Zhaohou, who were originally at the head of the city, were pulled to the city.
"Look! The disaster is the two uncles of the traitor Li Blind Thief! When Li Guo heard this, he couldn't help but look back, didn't he?
"Kill!" Duoduo just had to wait for the Dashun army to stop. Now there's a play! He had to kill Li Zicheng's two uncles. As a result, Li Guo was saddened by the death of his two uncles. And the wave of the division attacked.
"Porphy! The two heads of the porphyry were cut off, and then they fell to the foot of Xiangyang City.
Li Guo couldn't help but shout: "Uncle! Although he was very angry and wanted to rush over to save people, it was a pity that the current situation was difficult to achieve.
Yuan Zongdi said: "General Buzhi, don't you think it's strange? But the Tartars have repeatedly not wanted us to leave, they all want us to attack! This is clearly extremely problematic! We still have to go back to the barracks first and see what the emperor's edict is before making a decision! ”
So to speak. Li Guo also figured it out, yes! The Manchus are really strange, they have repeatedly stopped them, just to let them attack, and now they can't fall for the Tartars!
Li Guo said: "Withdraw!" But in his heart, he firmly thought: "Tartar, I will not let you go!" I'm going to wipe you out! The emperor's revenge, I will take revenge! Will definitely report! ”
The Duoduo at the head of the city was furious, "Drink! Dordor drew his saber, and he slashed at the wall with several "porphyria".
Duoduo shouted, "These cowards! Why do you want to withdraw? What are you doing! Duoduo said and felt puzzled, and kicked the wall a few more times. Duoduo looked at Tan Tai and Haninga. Say, "What's the matter! ”
They all lowered their heads because they didn't catch Cheng Jiubo! They didn't be able to catch Cheng Jiubo? What's going on? Of course, I have to explain. How to say that Cheng Jiubo is a key. Without Cheng Jiubo, this hurdle really can't be passed!
Suddenly Duoduo had a bold idea, you don't go to war, do you? Then I'm going to break into your camp and have a good fight!"
When Duoduo thought of this great idea, he wondered how excited and happy he was! Just wait to put it into practice!
Li Guo and the others quickly returned to the barracks, and Gao Yigong was also carried over. Zhang Biwu heard that he was injured, so he asked Yuan Ti'an to heal Gao Yigong.
When Li Guo saw it, he was surprised, he never thought that Gao Yigong was injured. Gao Yigong smiled at Li Guo and said, "Okay! I'm fine! Make up for it, you better hurry up and see the queen! The emperor has an edict! Get on in! Don't worry about me! With Doctor Yuan here, it won't be long before I can recover as before. ”
As soon as Li Guo heard this, he sighed, and went with him, and the generals also rushed in.
Zhang Biwu was inside, he was just waiting for Li Guo and them to come in. When they entered, they saw two strangers they didn't know.
What's going on? How noble Gao Guiying's location is! How do you get two strangers you don't know standing there? Who are these two? If you want to say that there is Li Zicheng's edict, you should see Li Yancai! What about Li Yan? Where is he?
Gao Guiying looked at Li Guo and said, "Now I urgently summon you back to discuss big things!" The Emperor's edict has been sent here! ”
Gao Guiying said, and took out a yellow silk, everyone was very nervous, is this edict true or false? It can't be Gao Guiying's fake in order to strike the war, right?
What appeared in front of them was the seal of Emperor Yongchang imprinted on the yellow silk, no mistake! This is exactly Li Zicheng's emperor seal! The yellow silk with the content of Li Zicheng's edict was then sent to Li Guo and other generals, so that they could take a good look and identify whether it was Li Zicheng's handwriting.
Li Guohe carefully looked at them over and over again to confirm whether it was true.
Li Guo and Wu Ruyi all knew Li Zicheng's handwriting, and they confirmed that it was true, and even the boss Hao Shaoqi recognized that this edict was true.
Li Zicheng's edict is clearly written, don't let them rush to avenge him, they have to stabilize first, because Dolgon has set up a plan, kill him Li Zicheng, and then come to destroy the Dashun army. The Dashun army can't jump into the trap, it can only rest and recuperate, accumulate strength, and wait until the right time to counterattack. After his death, the heir is Li Guo!
Li Zicheng even said that he was willing to think the same as Zhang Xianzhong, and could unite with Nanming to fight against the Qing Dynasty, as long as he could restore the Han people, no matter who he was, even if he canceled the Dashun regime after the most reluctance, and invested in Nanming, or Zhang Biwu.
When the generals saw the edict written like this, they couldn't help but be surprised, they really didn't expect Li Zicheng to be like this! Li Zicheng, Li Zicheng, you really have the majestic style of the Han people!
It's just that the generals still have doubts in their hearts, this edict looks at the handwriting and the emperor's seal stamped by Li Zicheng, but Gao Guiying has the ability to forge it. There are people in this world who are good at imitating people's handwriting! It's not surprising that they imitate!
The generals can't help but look at me. I'm looking at you. The doubts in my heart still haven't been dispelled!
Hao Shaoqi shouted even louder: "How can you say that this is the emperor's edict!" If someone fakes it, it's okay! As soon as Hao Shaoqi's words came out, he immediately received the approval of many people: "That's right! We also think it's possible! ”
"What about Li Yan! Where is Li Yan? "That's the biggest doubt! If Li Yan comes out, then everything will be solved!
Zhang Biwu looked at the two strangers who came, these two strangers were Cheng Jiubo and Lian Tong.
Cheng Jiubo gritted his teeth, he stood up and said, "Li Yan can't come!" Because Li Yan has been killed by me! Cheng Jiubo did not tell the truth that he was killed by him, his nephew and nephew, because he wanted to protect his nephew and nephew.
Hao Shaoqi and the others didn't believe it. They looked at Cheng Jiubo carefully, and then said, "Can you kill Li Yan?" "Yes! Looking at Cheng Jiubo's appearance, how could he kill Li Yan, a battle-hardened general?
Cheng Jiubo said: "Li Yan broke through to our village covered in blood, and then he slept on a tree, and his sword was pressed underneath. I killed him while he was asleep! He was obviously badly wounded! If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to kill it! ”
Cheng Jiubo is telling the truth, and the possibility of what he said is very big.
Cheng Jiubo described the situation at that time: "When Li Yan was asleep, I thought he was a bandit, and I, as a villager brave, had to protect the safety of my village. So I sneaked over and hit Li Yan's body with a fork first. Or slashed Li Yan's hand with a knife to prevent Li Yan from drawing the knife, and at the end of the knife was fatal! ”
Cheng Jiubo said, and showed a sword, and Dang Shousu snatched the sword, and immediately pulled out the sword, no mistake! This sword is engraved with the words "rice fat Li Yan".
The sword was lit high so that everyone could see it clearly, and it could take turns back and forth in everyone's hands so that they could see it too. Yes! Sure!
Dang Shousu raised his own question: "Could Li Yan have died in the first place!" And when he died, the real edict he carried with him was gone? He Zhen also asked, "Yes! What the party general said is not unreasonable! ”
Gao Guiying set his eyes on Bai Wang's body, Bai Wang was the last in Xiangyang to protect Li Zicheng to escape, and later Li Zicheng asked Bai Wang to take his handsome flag to highlight the emperor, and he could also see Li Zicheng writing the edict.
Bai Wang said: "When I was commanding the men and horses to resist the Tartars, I didn't be able to see what the emperor's edict was!" It's just that when I saw the emperor writing the edict, I was very sad, and it was like he had made a painful decision! And I heard him say, Zhang Biwu! ”
Bai Wang's words were said at the beginning, and now he repeats them, the original Zhang Biwu three words, should not be hating Zhang Biwu, how to say that it was the Manchu Qing who besieged him, not Zhang Biwu's army. Now look at the edict again, and connect, it's really right!
Bai Wang was extremely painful: "The emperor asked me to stand out, return to General Li Guo's command, and obey General Li Guo's command!" If only I had followed the emperor's side! ...... with General Xin Sizhong"
Oh, yes! This has been said before, and there is nothing wrong with it!
Li You shouted: "You killed my brother Yan, I want to avenge Brother Yan!" He wanted to pounce and kill Cheng Jiubo. A figure flashed out to stop Li You, this person was Huang Qi.
"What are you doing! Get out of the way! I'm going to kill him!" Li You pointed at Cheng Jiubo, very annoyed!
And Huang Qi said-for-tat: "Cheng Jiubo stood here bravely and told everything!" I will not allow anyone to kill him!" After all, we promised him when we invited him! Keep his life safe! You must know that when he killed Li Yan, he didn't know that it was from the Dashun army, and he thought he was a robber! As the saying goes, he who doesn't know is not guilty! ”
Li You was furious and shouted: "That's good! I don't know how you are yellow! Then, I'll kill you first! One more ignorant is not guilty! As soon as he finished speaking, the sword in his hand stabbed at Huang Qi, and Huang Qi also put down the sword, and the two were about to fight.
Gao Guiying's face is very ugly! Even if Li Zicheng is gone, she is still the head of the family, how can she tolerate you being so rude?
Li Guo saw it, and he wanted to speak, "Li You! Don't stop it yet! As soon as Li Guo's words came out, Li You became honest. Similarly, Zhang Biwu also spoke out: "Huang Qi! ”
The respective commanders all spoke up, and Huang Qi and Li You each withdrew their weapons and retreated.
He Zhen said: "I think we should distinguish what happened to Li Yan's death!" But I still want to know how dare you come here, aren't you afraid of being killed? You have to know that you killed our Zhaohou, and Li Yan is a royal family! ”
"Yes! Kill him! He killed our Zhaohou! "It can be said that many people have spoken out.
Cheng Jiubo showed a look of fear, Lian Tong came out, and said, "Cheng Jiubo I asked him to come!" And I also responded to him on behalf of the lord, as long as the lord is there, I can ensure his safety and worry-free! ”
Dang Shousu looked at Lian Tong and asked, "How did you see Cheng Jiubo, and how did you know Lu Dao?" You must know that Zhang Biwu has sent someone to investigate, but there is nothing that can be done, you can do it with a little scout? ”
Lian Tong said the truth: "Due to the death of Emperor Dashun, the lord sent us scouts to find information. I was one of the scouts who was sent out, and I arrived here at Cheng Jiubo in Tongshan County! And stay in his home! Because I saw a sword, that is, this Li Yan sword. I began to persuade him, and I made my name known. ”
Cheng Jiubo nodded, he looked at Zhang Biwu again, he didn't expect him to see the big hero in his mind.
Lian Tong said: "Cheng Jiubo was still hesitating at the beginning, but although I agreed without the consent of the lord. I kept persuading, and Cheng Jiubo agreed. That's just time to come together, but luckily we caught up! That's how it all began. ”
Cheng Jiubo also interjected: "Yes! What Lian Tong said is true! At this point, their words were still not convincing.
Dang Shousu said: "What you say is one-sided, after all, it's only the two of you, how can you guarantee that you two are not colluding?" ”
That's right! So how can it be proven? Prove that everything is true?
What Cheng Jiubo said was: "The appearance of Li Yan's corpse is unrecognizable due to the decay!" But we dug up his body anyway. From the clothes he was wearing, there should be some clues! Maybe you can also recognize that this is Li Yan. ”
Oh, yes! An autopsy is the best way to do it...... (To be continued......)
