The winter sky is white, and the sky is about to dawn.

The brothers of all walks of life dispersed as far as they could, and they slept in the grove until noon, and rode out of the woods with some dry food.

Since Gao Yingen was here, Yang Taisui and the others no longer thought about continuing to recruit remnants, so they simply slowed down the speed of the march and followed Cao Mang's instructions to chase the large army slowly.

After walking for a long time, the Tanma in front suddenly rushed back and hurriedly came to Yang Taisui: "Master, I found a team of two or three thousand people in front, and the flag is the one who broke into the camp." ”

Yang Taisui and Cao Mang glanced at each other, and stretched out his hand to stop the team behind them.

Now, there are such a large number of teams in this position, except for Gao Yingen, they can't think of a second one.

But there is still some distance between them and the location Cao Mang said, how did these people go back?

"Could they be trying to vote for Li Zicheng?" Yang Kai just happened to come over, "Now that the official army has gathered back, take Fu Luo Road from here into Shaanxi, and Li Zicheng is active in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, maybe he can really get through." ”

"Brother Kai'er is right, I heard them say earlier that Zhang Tianlin, the star of the sky, has already gone north." Cao Mang said.

Yang Taisui spat and said: "It seems that the battle of Heishuiyu has beaten back the backbone of our new king, and Li Zicheng's fame is even better than him. ”

Han Bin also scolded and scolded, "This is not right, the role of Brother Kai'er is coming, let's go to stabilize this palm plate first, if we really let him vote for the surname Li, wouldn't we take the lime road of his mother and run for nothing?" ”

"What do you think?" Yang Taisui looked at Yang Kai.

Yang Kai said without hesitation: "I think it's better to return to the old than Li Zicheng, Hong Chengchou is still in Shaanxi, and if you go there, it may be another defeat." Lao Hui is righteous, and the relationship with the old boss has always been good, as long as we are willing to go, we will be able to get help. ”

He had already thought about this problem, Li Zicheng was of course one of the last successful people in the development of the rebel army, and those who could succeed would definitely have something extraordinary, but from the perspective of the latecomers, his Dashun Dynasty had perished in just over forty days, which left a very bad impression on Yang Kai.

In his subconscious, he felt that this person was unreliable.

On the other hand, Lao Hui Hui Ma Shouying, as a Hui person, he was able to leave such a reputation in the ranks of hundreds of thousands of rebels, and he still insisted on uprising, which at least shows that this person is extremely inclusive.

In fact, what Yang Kai said was really what Yang Taisui thought in his heart.

Li Zicheng is a person who can have his current reputation, of course, it proves his ability, Yang Taisui has also seen it a few times, and he feels that he is a capable person rather than a master.

Therefore, his proposition is the same as Yang Kai, and he also went to Henan.

Several of them had already made up their minds in a few words, and Han Bin had to pull Cai Qian up and let him express his opinion.

Cai Qianmu had a wooden face, touched his bald head, and looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.

His attitude is different from before, anyway, he has been marginalized, he has not been promoted, his careful thoughts, I am afraid that he has already been seen through by Yang Taisui, an old traitor, he does not think that he has the ability to go out and develop independently, so he simply does not act to show resistance.

He felt that he had a reason to be angry, that the way of the world was too unfair to him.

It seems that a person like himself, who is capable and loyal to the cause of the uprising, should be marginalized.

Yang Taisui no longer paid attention to Cai Qian, he let the team stop on the road, and together with Cao Mang, Yang Kai, and Han Bin, he led a few guards forward.

When he was far away, when he met Gao Yingen's Tanma, Han Bin shouted a few black words, put on a slogan, and then reported the name of Yang Taisui.

Of the three horsemen released, one of them recognized Cao Mang and Yang Taisui, and immediately stepped forward to identify him, and the other two didn't suspect him when they heard it, but just asked who Yang Kai was.

looked him up and down, led them back to the army behind, and then met the vanguard officer in the rear, and then led by the vanguard officer to meet Gao Yingen.

In the team of more than 2,000 people, almost everyone saw blood on their bodies, and their morale was extremely low, which shows that they have survived until now, and they have also experienced a lot of hardships.

Gao Yingen sat in the middle of the army, rode a red-maned horse, slowly rocked, heard the report from a distance, looked up, and was overjoyed, who else could there be in this Yang Taisui Department?

He quickly stopped the army, and with three old pipes, marched out of the array to meet them.

Yang Taisui took the lead in turning over and dismounting, leading Yang Kai and others, kneeling on one knee to pay homage: "Yang Taisui, the small pipe team that broke into the camp, has seen the palm plate!" The probe horse, which had come with them, stopped further back.

Gao Yingen then turned over and dismounted, and invited them up: "How can the Yang Guan team make such a big gift, please get up quickly, please get up quickly!" ”

"I heard that the Erbu broke through the siege in Heishuiyu and fought bravely, and Yang Kai, my younger brother, not only was he able to see through the strategies of the officers and soldiers again and again, but he also killed seven in and seven out in the Guanning army array, I don't know which one is next?"

It's embarrassing to say, although they have been looking for Yang Kai, they still don't know what he looks like.

Yang Taisui tilted his head slightly and gestured to Yang Kai, who took a step forward and arched his hand and said:

"The small one is Yang Kai, the heroism of the breakthrough of Heishuiyu that day, the first credit is the wise decision-making of the old boss, the command of several palms and the old management team is proper, followed by the elder brother's command in the battle, and then the soldiers of our department, everyone is brave, and the subordinates are just bullying others, and they have beheaded a few Guanning soldiers, which is really not enough to say."

Several old stewards smiled happily, this doll is sensible.

Gao Yingen was slightly surprised by Yang Kai's age, and looked at his appearance carefully, he was really still a doll with untied hair, how could he be so capable?

His gaze didn't stay on Yang Kai's body for too long, he turned back to Yang Taisui and asked solemnly, "How many people are still under Yang Guan's team now?" ”

"There are four hundred and sixty-four horsemen, all of whom have horses and can fight at any time! Just stop at the front to rest. ”

"Great! We need a talent like Yang Guan Team now, I now officially seal you as the old team before the camp, you go and bring the people over to make arrangements first, let my brother stay here, I still have some questions to ask him for a lesson or two, okay? ”

Of course, Yang Taisui will not be blinded by his title, let alone be grateful to Dade for working hard for him. A change in a position, the people are still their original people, and the food and materials have not been replenished, in the final analysis, they should just want to explore Yang Kai's reality and recruit them in by the way.

But he didn't show any clues on the surface, saluted respectfully, and left with Han Bin and Cao Mang.

After getting on the horse and walking a few steps, Han Bin couldn't wait to ask, "Brother, how can you leave Brother Kai'er like this?" ”

"Although this palm plate does not have the courage of the old palm plate, he is also a smart person, this is what he always has to experience, if we pass this level, we may really be able to taste what it is like to be a descendant."

Yang Taisui laughed twice, but he couldn't hear the joy, and slapped his horse away.

Gao Yingen is in his forties, medium height, dark skin, and mediocre appearance, full of the appearance of a farmer.

He led Yang Kai to the edge of the official road, and asked the soldiers below to bring a few small horses, and divided Yang Kai's handful, and several people chatted with each other.

It was only now that they realized that the news that Yang Kai had let Yang Taisui pass on had been confirmed, and they were full of regret in their hearts.

At first, when Gao Yingen asked Yang Kai about the basis for Yang Kai's conclusions, Yang Kai was still a little restrained at first because it was the first time he had dealt with a leader of this identity.

And those conclusions that Yang Kai came to were entirely because the history books were written like this, so how could he analyze them?

There was no way, he could only rely on his knowledge reserves, quote scriptures, and tell them the classic quotations left by Sun Tzu, Cao Cao, and Zhuge Liang, and they looked at each other, shaking their heads and scratching their scalps.

If you want to say that people can judge the plans of the officials and soldiers, grandma's, if you can't understand a word of what you say, it's tantamount to asking in vain.

After this exchange, I saw Gao Yingen's eyes flashing, and then a sentence:

"Sir, we need a talent like you right now!"

has been in the army for many years, following Gao Yingxiang's side, Gao Yingen is used to seeing brave and unscrupulous men, they have little impact on the battlefield, and their impact on the battle situation is also very small. Only those who really have a grand plan are the core figures who can influence both the battlefield and the battle situation.

He regarded Yang Kai as this kind of person, and since he had met him, he didn't plan to let it go.

If he remembered correctly, Liu Bei also called Zhuge Liang Mr. at the beginning, and quietly, Gao Yingen had already changed his title to Yang Kai.

Yang Kai saw that he was confused, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be!" The little one is just talking nonsense, and please don't blame the palm plate, if you don't mind, you will be the same as the big brother, call me to open the brother. ”

"What's to blame?" Gao Yingen suddenly turned upright, "We were about to ask Brother Kai'er to analyze the current situation for us!" ”

Yang Kai realized that he had talked about an important topic, and he raised a little spirit, and said very humbly: "If the little one guesses well, is the palm of the plate going to join the general?" ”

"Sir, think it's wrong?"

"Xiao thinks that Zhangpanzi should consider three questions first, first, Zhangpanzi's current reputation, how does it compare with Li Zicheng now? Second, if we pass and break into the camp of old and new subordinates, who should we serve? Is there a master whose reputation is not as good as that of his subordinates? Third, after the officers and troops captured the old commander this time, their morale will inevitably rise sharply, and the Ming court sent Hong Chengchou to guard Shaanxi with heavy troops, will they take this opportunity to launch an encirclement and suppression of the Shaanxi rebels, and will we immediately face the danger of being defeated again in the past? ”

Gao Yingen's face was heavy, he touched his beard, looked left and right, and decided to vote for Li Zicheng earlier, which was proposed by them, and the three old management team couldn't say a word.

For many years, he has been living in the shadow of his eldest brother, which will cause this situation, in fact, he also wants to mix up, at least be able to be independent, and now the opportunity has suddenly come, but he doesn't know how to start, he asked again: "What about Brother Kai'er's opinion?" ”

The small one believes that now, although the old boss has unfortunately been arrested, the actions of the rebels in all aspects have not been blocked, and the enthusiasm for the uprising is still high, which is doomed, and the Ming court will not stop there. On the contrary, they will gain confidence from the incident of capturing the old Zhangpan alive, and then launch a more ferocious encirclement and suppression, and the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo region will definitely become the first target of the attack. ”

Gao Yingen immediately asked people to present the map, and Yang Kai took the map and continued to analyze with a few people.

"Since Shaanxi will be the main battlefield next, my advice is to avoid its edge. Now the camp is active in Henan, Henan and Shaanxi are separated by majestic mountains and mountains, and there is an accident on the border, King Lu Yan wants to lead his troops north to King Qin, Hong Chengchou is busy dealing with Li Zicheng, even if Li Zicheng is defeated, he will only retreat to the middle of Sichuan, the attention of the officers and soldiers is attracted to the west, no matter how you look at it in a short time, it will not threaten Henan in the east.

Moreover, there are two advantages to entering Henan, one is that the fortification of Lushi County from Shangluo has always been not strict, my eldest brother and I grew up in the Lushi Mountains, and we are familiar with the road, and we have little resistance to Henan in the east, the important thing is to disrupt the deployment of the official army in Henan, which is a great gift to return to the camp; Second, the old boss has always been friendly with the old Hui, I have heard that the old Hui Hui is righteous, we find the return to the camp as an ally, we will be able to get the replenishment of the army, and when we recuperate, isn't it the day we kill back to the Guannei? ”

Yang Kai said that his mouth was dry, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Although he began to prepare this set of rhetoric from the moment his eldest brother passed on his words, when it came time to play on the spot, it was almost difficult to justify himself because of the lack of historical knowledge.

Among them, about the situation in Henan, he just inquired with the brothers around him, and most of the rest was his reasoning and guessing.

Fortunately, Gao Yingen didn't seem to have any suspicions, and listened carefully, the two sides were silent for a while and didn't speak, and suddenly, Gao Yingen seemed to have made up his mind:

"Now, except for the team that has crossed the sky, the rest of the people who broke into the camp have elected me as the head of the new camp, how about I now serve Brother Yang as the mastermind of my new camp?"

Yang Kai pondered for a moment, glanced at several old stewards around him, and finally returned his gaze to Gao Yingen: "I'm afraid this arrangement is not appropriate, right?" ”

"What's wrong?" Gao Yingen frowned slightly.

"After all, the younger brother and the eldest brother are newcomers, without merit, and being named the old steward is already a big enough gift, if I am the mastermind again, won't I let the brothers below think that the boss would rather trust outsiders than reuse his own people? The small one is only willing to return to the eldest brother, when a small hundred households, if the palm plate is summoned, the small one promises to be on call, and in the future, the merit book has a name, and it is not too late to promote the palm plate again. ”

Yang Kai knew that once he became the mastermind, he would inevitably be separated from the eldest brother's team, and then, he might become a tool for Gao Yingen to control Yang Taisui.

This is undoubtedly the harm of the eldest brother and many brothers, and it is not the result he wants to see, and he stays in the eldest brother's team, if Gao Yingen really wants to protect him, he will treat him as a descendant team to reduce the risk of their birth and death. At the same time, they are able to strengthen themselves easily.

Yang Kai tried his best to pretend to be embarrassed, since he came to this world, he has been experiencing the test of life and death almost every day.

This time, he only hoped that he could get through this hurdle smoothly, and at the same time, he hoped that the other party would not think about him so long when he was not familiar with them.
