Chongqing Mansion, Shizhu Xuanfu Division.

Ma Mansion, above the hall, Gao Yigong and Qin Liangyu sat side by side in the first seat, and on both sides below sat Li Dingguo, Ma Xianglin, Liu Tichun and other generals.

At this moment, everyone gathered together and sat together, although there was no tension a few days ago, but there was also a sense of crampedness, and they didn't get along very well, and there was always a strange sense of strangeness.

It seems that the ice has released the previous suspicions, but in fact, there are still some things in the head that can't be turned.

"Marshal Gao, I don't know what happened to me this time? Is there anything that the old body can serve? If there is anything, you can summon the old body to Chongqing City. Visiting the door is really torturous for the old family. ”

After the greetings, Qin Liangyu turned his old face sideways, and looked straight at Gao Yigong, although his expression was indifferent, but his heart was rippling, and he sighed very emotionally, at such a young age, he commanded so many troops, which is no longer something that a hero can describe.

"Hehe... General Qin, why are you so humble? What marshal is not a marshal, with the prestige of a general, there are few heroines in the world, one of the best heroes, but we are our predecessors, just call for the next achievement, Xiao Gao can do it! ”

While speaking, Gao Yigong smiled, glanced at Ma Xianglin with the corner of his eye, and didn't wait for Qin Liangyu to be polite again, and said: "General Qin, I think you have heard that Zhang Xianzhong and others attacked Wuchang Mansion in Huguang, killed countless of our soldiers, harmed the people, and wanted to ascend the throne and become emperor. ”

"Therefore, the purpose of this trip is to hope that the general will go into battle and lead the army to Wuchang Mansion in Huguang, encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong and others, completely wipe out the rebel army and horse thieves in this area, and return the people to a peaceful day."

"But, Marshal Gao, you have also seen that the old body is already this age, more than sixty years old......"

Qin Liangyu, who was in good spirits, still looked the same, indifferent as water, and just wanted to postpone refusal, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Gao Yigong.

"Hey~ General Qin, why refuse in such a hurry? After listening to Gao's words, if the general's mind is still the same and he is unwilling to lead the army to the battle, he will never be strong. ”

Obviously, Qin Liangyu hesitated, but still did not veto, sighed, and said helplessly: "Okay, Marshal Gao, please speak~!" ”

"Hey, hey... General Qin, there are two reasons why you are invited to go to the army, one is self-explanatory, you are always prestigious, especially among the rebel armies from all walks of life, it is very deterrent, even if you send troops not to fight, just to press the formation, it can also cause a lot of mental pressure on Zhang Xianzhong and others. ”

"Second, the reason is also very simple, as the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is false, all kinds of rumors about the Dashun Army, presumably General Qin is mostly hearsay, listening to what others say, so, with the opportunity of this encirclement and suppression of Zhang Xianzhong and others, you can also walk around and look around, are those policies of my Dashun Dynasty just talking?"

Although Qin Liangyu's expression was as usual, he already had some intentions in his heart, especially his son's dictation, everything about the Dashun Army, what he saw and heard along the way, had already made Qin Liangyu's heart itch, and he especially wanted to see the outside world, was it really that beautiful?

"Of course, General Qin, this expedition is not only your white pole soldiers, nor is it only an army from Sichuan, from the south of Nanzhili and Huguang, there is an army respectively, which is approaching Wuchang Mansion. Moreover, on the southern border between Shaanxi and Henan, a net of heaven and earth was laid out, so that Zhang Xianzhong and others had no possibility of fleeing north. ”

At this time, Ma Xianglin reacted and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qin Liangyu's stern gaze, glared back, his expression returned to normal in an instant, and said in a harmonious voice: "Marshal Gao, the old man has a request, I hope that after this expedition, I can return to the field and retire for the rest of my life." There are also those white-pole soldiers, and the old body also plans to disband them, so that the soldiers can go home to farm and reunite as a family. ”

"Of course, that's fine!"

Gao Yigong was overjoyed in his heart, couldn't help but agree, and said further: "Moreover, General Qin, among your white-pole soldiers, if you are the only male in the family, if you want, you can let them return to the field in advance and reunite with their families at any time." At the same time, the imperial court will also give them some silver taels, the most homeworthy entanglement. ”

Qin Liangyu was obviously stunned, what he didn't expect was that Gao Yigong not only agreed very happily, but even more, whoever was the only male in the family could go home immediately and give some silver taels as a coil.

If it is placed in the Ming Court, not to mention the entanglement of going home, even the most normal food and salary cannot be guaranteed.

For example, her white-pole soldier was self-raised and self-organized, and the court just gave a preparation, a piece of paper, and filed a case in the military department, that's all!

Therefore, to this day, for the white pole soldiers under her command, especially after every battle, Qin Liangyu's heart is full of guilt, and she can't get a pension for the soldiers who died in the battle, so as to settle the families of the victims.

Gao Yigong's generous shot, if Qin Liangyu's heart was not moved, it was impossible.

After all, with the silver tael, the generals and soldiers who go home will have a much better life in the future. Otherwise, it's really hard-hearted.

The most important thing is that the white pole soldiers are all people in Shu, these days, the families of those soldiers have sent letters, each family has a few acres of thin fields, so that the life of the family has a rush, the soldiers have itching, eager to go home, want to gather together, live a good life!

For a common man, having a land that belongs completely to him can be satisfied.

Therefore, today's Qin Liangyu has completely given up his resistance to the Dashun Dynasty, and the reason why he is still still cramped and unable to get along with the Dashun Army completely is just that some traditional loyal monarch ideas are at work, and the influence is also very limited.

In the end, Qin Liangyu and Gao Yigong discussed some relevant details such as the date of the expedition and specific matters, and the latter left Mafu.

"Mother, my son really doesn't understand, why don't you let me go with you on the expedition?"

Hearing his son Ma Xianglin's inquiry, he seemed to feel the puzzled gaze, Qin Liangyu still looked at the direction where Gao Yigong and the others left, his expression was a little complicated, and he replied lightly without looking back: "Son~ People are self-aware, although they have not proposed it, but we have to understand that one of you, me, mother and son, must stay in order to reassure people." ”

Ma Xianglin is not a foolish and slow to react, how could he not hear what Qin Liangyu meant? reacted immediately, flashed a hint of enlightenment, and then was full of disappointment and loneliness, so helpless.

No matter how much Gao Yigong trusts him, the mother and son can only go to one.

On the street, Li Dingguo fell slightly behind Gao Yigong, his face was difficult, as if there was something unspeakable, he wanted to say something, but in the end, he still didn't say a word, just glanced at the east, the general direction of Huguang Wuchang Mansion.
