Chapter 230 Governor Ma thinks Gao Yihuan is not bad
The attached knife is not suitable for beheading. Zhao Daxian didn't cut off the head with one knife, and chopped Liu Liangzuo several times before beheading Liu Liangzuo.

Gao Yihuan looked at the human head. It looked like a dog had gnawed on the neck, and there was a large piece of flesh hanging from it. It was shocking to watch.

A gust of cold wind blew by, making Gao Yihuan's hair stand on end, so he waved his hands quickly and said, "Hang on the city gate."

Zhao Daxian was about to turn around after hearing this, Gao Yihuan said again: "Hanging at the east gate!"

Zhao Daxian didn't even ask why it was hung at the east gate, and hurried out.

Gao Yihuan had just read the order. It was Li Zicheng who was going to march eastward. He wanted to transfer him to join the expedition, and he also wanted to send troops to Xiangyang.

The general founder of the country, during the founding period, let his subordinates do their jobs and made various promises. After success, he would have a glass of wine to release his military power, or kill heroes. Rarely did he start to restrict his achievements. Subordinates, massacre heroes, or those who engage in internal strife.

Unfortunately, Li Zicheng was one of those very few people. He couldn't tolerate Luo Rucai and Zuo Ge, and he had to kill Li Yan afterwards. He was a very suspicious person.

Li Zicheng's defeat was not unrelated to this.

Li Zicheng's family was the only one in the Shun army. Once he was defeated, they were all defeated, and there was no force to defend him in the local area. If Luo Rucai was still there, at least he could help him for a while.

This letter was not a formal order, but Li Zicheng's handwriting, which asked him some questions and revealed some intentions, and what Gao Yihuan could see from it was that Li Zicheng had some doubts about him.

This is not to say that Li Zicheng doubts his loyalty, but as the emperor of Dashun, Li Zicheng does not want to see his subordinates too strong.

Now in the Shun Army system, Li Zicheng's five battalions are not directly under his control, but he controls the army. They are not from the Lao Shun Army. There are only three people, Yuan Shizhong who is shivering in Shangzhou, and the rest are Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi.

Compared to Gao Yihuan, Liu Heizi's qualifications in the Shun Army were older, and Gao Yihuan attracted attention, so Li Zicheng's eyes had not been cast on him yet.

After Zhao Daxian took the order to leave, Liu Heizi saw Gao Yihuan's expression and couldn't help asking, "Brother Gao, what's the matter?"

Gao Yi smiled happily, and put away the handwriting, "It's from Guan Zhong."

This is equivalent to not saying anything, but Liu Heizi added enviously: "It's the emperor, do you want to reward Brother Gao?"

Taking down Xiangyang is a big deal, and it is impossible to hide it. Liu Heizi also knows that, so he thinks so.

Gao Yihuan shook his head, "It's Xi'an who is preparing for the Eastern Expedition. If we want to mobilize troops and horses to join the expedition, we have to go back quickly."

"Do you want to attack Beijing, overthrow Ming Dynasty, and become emperor?" Liu Heizi's heart was lifted when he heard this.

Although Li Zicheng became the emperor in Xi'an, as long as Chongzhen is still in Beijing, in the hearts of most people, the emperor is still Chongzhen, not Li Zicheng.

More than 270 years old empire, many influences, have been deeply rooted in everyone's heart.

Gao Yihuan nodded, "Prime Minister Niu, I have long wanted to go to the east. After taking Xi'an, I have been planning the east. It has been nearly a year now, and the emperor can't wait. I really want to go to the east."

Liu Heizi looked at Gao Yihuan enviously, "Is the emperor raising his brother to fight in Beijing? This is a chance to make great achievements!"

Gao Yihuan didn't really want to make such a contribution. In Gao Yihuan's view, Li Zicheng probably couldn't occupy Beijing.

Regardless of Wu Sangui's factors, after Li Zicheng occupied Beijing, he still couldn't solve the problem that the Qing army would enter at any time.

Ming and Shun have been struggling for more than ten years. The north is too exhausted. Li Zicheng has to take over the Great Wall defense line when he occupies Beijing. Geographically, he faces the Ming and Qing pincers and takes over the mess left by the Ming Dynasty. And financial resources, most of them are also difficult to do.

If Li Zicheng can't occupy Beijing, Gao Yihuan will only cause a commotion if he goes, which is not conducive to his identity whitewashing, nor is it conducive to the unity with Nanming.In addition, Gao Yihuan is not a direct descendant of Li Zicheng, so he will definitely take the lead. If he does the hard work, the benefits will definitely be taken by the Shaanxi Gang. Maybe he won't even be able to enter Beijing, so he can only garrison outside the city.

It is impossible for an outsider to share the fruits of victory with them.

Such a thankless effort, and leaving a huge political stain, is really not worth it.

Based on the attitude of the Southern Ming court towards the Shun family, the more officials he has with Li Zicheng and the more credit he has made, the more trouble he will have in the future.

If he is strong enough at this time, he can ignore Nan Ming's feelings, but the problem is that his current power is not at the same level as Li Zicheng or the Ming Dynasty.

Li Guo and Gao Yigong, one is a marquis and the other is a relative of the emperor. After surrendering to Nanming, they were immediately excluded by He Tengjiao, and their treatment was not as good as that of Hao Yaoqi, who had a much lower status.

Gao Yihuan bargained with Ming Dynasty not on any external things, but on how many soldiers he had and how strong he was.

At this time, he didn't want to be too involved in the affairs between Li Zicheng and the Ming Dynasty. It wasn't like Gao Yihuan was licking his face to please the Ming Dynasty, and it might not work. He just didn't want to create conflicts.

After the Ming Dynasty collapsed, the biggest problem in the world was the loss of a core, a large system, and several small systems in broken cities.

Shunxi, Hongguang, Donglin, Luwang, Tangpai, Lupai, Yongli, Sun Kewang, these individuals were not opponents of the Qing army, and they fought endlessly with each other. After 20 years of infighting, it eventually overturned naturally.

Gao Yihuan is not capable of solving such a situation. With his current strength, he can't hold them back. It is impossible for these big brothers to listen to him, and it is impossible for anyone to say a few words to unite as one.

Gao Yihuan's strength was not strong enough to subdue them, so naturally there was no need to confront them, adding fire to the already broken world.

He should just do it now and make a fortune in silence. Apart from strengthening himself, everything else is empty.

For a period of time to come, his position will be to obey whoever is the co-owner of the Anti-Qing Dynasty. Under the unified anti-Qing stance, he will develop silently and accumulate strength instead of creating more divisions.

Gao Yihuan didn't say much, he looked at Liu Heizi and said, "Xi'an has decided to march eastward. I need to return to Runing, and maybe go to Xi'an. Shouzhou is located in the south of the Huaihe River, with Hefei to the south and Fengyang to the east. This place needs to deploy heavy troops, and I don't intend to occupy it."

After Gao Yihuan finished speaking, he looked at Liu Heizi. Liu Heizi was taken aback when he heard the words, and after thinking about it, he understood, "Then I don't want it either."

Gao Yihuan nodded, "In Huaibei, I want Linquan, Yingchuan, and Yingshang. Brother Liu, how about Bozhou and Guoyang, which are close to Yongcheng?"

Liu Heizi originally wanted to rob once, so that he could celebrate the new year. Now that he can get two more counties, he is naturally happy, "I have no problem."

"Okay, let's settle it like this. It's almost Chinese New Year now, let's pack up and prepare to retreat after counting the supplies!" Gao Yihuan waved his hand.

A few days later, in Fengyang Mansion, the Governor Xingyuan.

Ma Hongshan entered the festival hall, saluted Ma Shiying and said, "Xiaomin pays homage to the governor!"

Ma Shiying looked at the relatives who were out of reach in front of him, and asked, "Hong Shan, you came from Shouzhou, but what news did you bring to Bendu?"

"Reporting to the governor, Gao Yihuan from Henan, asked Xiaomin to bring a letter to the governor, saying that the governor can recover Shouzhou!"

Ma Shiying's eyes widened when he heard this, and he was instantly refreshed.

On December [-]th, outside the east gate of Shouzhou City, Ma Shiying led thousands of officers and troops, and rushed to the foot of Shouzhou City in mighty fashion.

"Look, Governor!" Chief Fang Guoan exclaimed, pointing to something hanging in front of the city gate.

Ma Shiying looked up and saw that it was a human head, "Take it off!"

Soon the head was taken, everyone looked at it, their expressions changed, and they all exclaimed, "It's Liu Liangzuo!"

Although the head hung for a while, it didn't completely rot because of the cold weather.Everyone was acquainted with Liu Liangzuo, so they recognized him immediately.

Fang Guoan couldn't help but said angrily after seeing it: "Governor, Liu Liangzuo is the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty. Gao Yihuan will kill him as soon as he says, and hang his head here. He is humiliating us!"

But Ma Shiying was looking at a stack of letters brought along with the head, all letters from Liu Liangzuo and Liu Liangchen, and the list of goods that Liu Liangzuo sold to the Fan family, which was ironclad proof that Liu Liangzuo had an affair with the Qing Dynasty.

Ma Shiying took a few glances, but shook his head, and sighed: "No! This governor thinks that Gao Yihuan is a hero, he doesn't mean that. Maybe this person can be won!"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly turned his head and said: "Okay, let's advance to the city, and then report the victory to the emperor, and say that the governor and all the soldiers fought bloody battles with the high-ranking bandits for half a month, killing nearly ten thousand bandits, and finally regained Shouzhou, and will take advantage of the situation to drive out the high-ranking bandits." Get out of Nanzhi!"

(Thanks to Ma Xiaopang for loving Chen Ying, and thank you for your support.)
