A few days later, the eight generalissimos of the Great Shun Dynasty gathered in the mall of Runing Mansion in Henan, and there were other generals, all of whom stood in the hall, and in front of them hung a map of the towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

Arrows are marked, long or short, straight or curved, distributed on the map, from Henan and Shandong to many prefectures and counties in Nanzhili and Huguang, each arrow represents the general action path of a Li Jiajun, as well as the target to be captured.

At this moment, Li Guo and Tian Jianxiu stood at the front, with their backs to the map, facing everyone, and the former said in a loud voice: "Everyone, according to the latest news obtained from the informant, it is certain that the date of Zhu Yousong's accession to the throne has been set, and on the day of May 15, he was officially enthroned in the Wuying Hall in the Forbidden City of Nanjing. ”

"When the time comes, it is also the time for us to act, Gao Yigong's troops will go out of Nanyang Mansion and lead the army to attack Yunyang Mansion and Xiangyang Mansion in Huguang, and at the same time wait for the opportunity to move and incorporate the rebel army of Zhang Xianzhong and others."

"Liu Zongmin, your troops went out of Ruyang Mansion, led the army into Huguang, fought in concert with Gao Yigong, defeated the largest Ming army in Huguang, Zuo Liangyu's department, and finally Chen soldiers on the border of Sichuan, and Lu Shiyi of Hanzhong Mansion in Shaanxi formed a flanking encirclement trend, and entered Sichuan in a horn formation."

Speaking of this, Li Guo stopped and set his eyes on Tian Jianxiu.

"Okay, I'll tell you about the rest of the setup."

Tian Jianxiu took over the topic and nodded lightly in response to Li Guo, and his slowed speech returned to normal, and his voice became more powerful.

"Liu Fangliang, Yuan Zongdi, on the day of May 15, you immediately marched out of Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong and took Xuzhou and Huai'an Mansion respectively."

"Wu Ruyi, your troops are out of the Defu and attack the Fengyang Mansion with me, as for Li Guo, I don't need to say more, the troops are out of the Runing Mansion and are responsible for attacking Luzhou."

Speaking of this, Tian Jianxiu's words paused, suddenly turned sideways, picked up the baton with his right hand at the same time, pointed to Nanjing City on the map, and continued loudly: "When the time comes, the five-way army will converge into three roads, showing a trend of encirclement, and the troops will go straight to the capital, and strive to come to the city of Nanjing within half a month!" ”

At this moment, Liu Zongmin and Gao Yigong will be more or less lost, compared to attacking Huguang and besieging Sichuan with Lu Shiyi, they want to go all the way south and capture Zhu Yousong alive, which will have a greater sense of achievement.

After all, in today's Nanjing City, there are not only Zhu Yousong, but also many vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a great credit to catch one of them!

However, military orders are like mountains, and the two can also obey orders.

After Tian Jianxiu finished speaking, Li Guo looked at his son Li Laiheng and said in a deep voice: "Li Laiheng, you can act over there, and you must ensure that Zhu Cihong enters Nanjing City smoothly." At the same time, you will stay in Nanjing City, pay close attention to the movements of the Nanming court, and make the news of Zhu Cihong's entry into Nanjing City boiling, which everyone knows, completely disrupt Nanjing City, and paralyze the officialdom of Nanming. ”

"Yes, marshal, the last general will let people act, release Zhu Cihong, and the last general will follow all the way and secretly escort him into the city of Nanjing." Li Laiheng clenched his hands into fists and replied without humility or arrogance.

At this time, Gao Yigong and Liu Zongmin's faces were gloomy, as if there was something unspeakable, and finally the two looked at each other, nodded slightly in tacit understanding, the former looked at Li Guo, and said meaningfully: "Marshal Li, Liu Zongmin and I took Huguang and defeated Zuo Liangyu's department, these are all easy to do." However, the emperor's uncle, Leader Gao, is in the coalition army of Zhang Xianzhong and others, I'm afraid... I'm afraid ......"

In just a few words, it shows that Gao Yigong has matured a lot, and he no longer calls Li Zi his brother-in-law as he used to be, but calls the emperor like everyone else!

Otherwise, if you want to be as frizzy and grinning as in the past, how can you be one of the top ten marshals?

Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Guo, and everyone knew very well in their hearts that the task of Gao Yigong and Liu Zongmin was not difficult, and they could easily defeat Zuo Liangyu and occupy Huguang, and the most difficult thing to do was to absorb Gao Yingen.

They vaguely remembered that the co-optation of Gao Yingen shouldn't have been done by Li Guo himself? Why is it handed over to Gao Yigong and Liu Zongmin now?

Seeing everyone's surprise and curiosity, Li Guo probably guessed what they were thinking, smiled slightly, looked around at everyone, and finally returned to Gao Yigong's body, and said loudly: "Hehe... Yigong, Zong Min, you don't have to worry about anything, you may not know yet, Leader Gao has already approached me privately and is willing to accept our incorporation. ”

Obviously, except for Li Laiheng, everyone else showed surprise and looked incredulous, after all, the mainstream view of many rebel armies is that they would rather be the head of a chicken than a phoenix, and those leaders of the rebel army are used to a life of unrestrained and ungoverned people, why did Gao Yingen suddenly agree?

For a while, everyone was waiting for Li Guo's words, hoping that the other party could explain something?

However, Li Guo's subsequent remarks disappointed them, and there was no explanation for this.

"The reason why I haven't incorporated Leader Gao's subordinates so far is that I want him to stay in the rebel coalition for a while and help convince the other leaders. Of course, the main reason is that in the future, just in case, when the rebel coalition forces are forcibly absorbed, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, make the operation smoother, and minimize the casualties that rush out. ”

In an instant, everyone understood that Gao Yingxiang not only became a lobbyist of the Dashun Army, but also a hidden internal response, if those rebels did not obey and did not accept the incorporation of the Dashun Army, Gao Yingen was a dark chess, and under the combination of the inside and the outside, the rebel coalition could be incorporated in one fell swoop.

As soon as he thought of this, the generals' hearts became even more curious, why did Gao Yingen agree to the request of Dang Neiying?

"Alright, everyone, it's only a few days until May 15th, so let's hurry back to our respective camps, right?"

Li Guo didn't give the generals a chance to ask, and had already issued an order to expel the guests, and even said: "I won't send you, the emperor ordered someone to send a secret letter, which must be dealt with now, one step ahead." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guo had already strode out of the hall and left directly, leaving everyone stunned.

"Okay, everyone, let's go~!" Tian Jianxiu greeted and walked out.

Soon, the hall was empty, and only the military map was still hanging there.

That night, in one of the courtyards of the mall, there were several dull sounds, like the sound of a person fainting to the ground, and then a nervous and frightened question came from a room: "Who?" Who's out there? ”

In the darkness, a whispered voice responded: "Prince, it's me, I'm a dark stake of the Jinyi Guard, and now I'm here to save you out of the clutches..."

Soon, with a "squeak", the door was gently opened, and a head poked out of it, looking around nervously, and seeing that the soldiers guarding the door did not know whether they were dead or alive, and had collapsed to the ground, they became even more nervous.

"Who are you? Where are you? How do you know my identity? ”

The person who asked a series of questions was none other than Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, who cautiously walked out, kicked the two soldiers who fell to the ground, and looked around again, looking for the person who claimed to have come to save him.

"Prince, the little one is here~!"

A dark shadow walked out of the darkness, came to Zhu Cihong's side, grabbed Zhu Cihong's hand, walked out, and whispered: "Your Highness, come with me, you can't stay here for long, you will be discovered soon, the little one will send you out of the city immediately and escort you to Nanjing." ”

"Good~!"

Zhu Cihong responded in a low voice, at this moment, his heart was full of excitement and apprehension, and he was only bent on escaping from here, and quickly escaped from the sphere of influence of the Li family, and he had no time to think about it so much.
