Chapter 238 Going Up (Part [-])

Dashun Yongchang's first great dynasty in the second year was tit-for-tat from the very beginning, extremely fierce.

When Li Yan was taken away from the hall by the guards, Gao Yihuan could feel Li Yan's inner despair.

Li Yan was the one who helped Li Zicheng get out of the predicament, but today Li Zicheng kicked him out of the court, which chilled Li Yan's heart.

He wholeheartedly thought about Dashun, even if Li Zicheng didn't listen, he shouldn't be kicked out in front of Manchu civil and military officials.

In this way, Li Yan could not do anything in Dashun.

Gao Yihuan was right, Li Yan might just be Tian Feng.

Now, Li Zicheng didn't react. When he knew that he had lost his composure, Li Yan might not be able to return to Henan.

Gao Yihuan looked at Li Yan's back, and his heart suddenly moved.

At this time, there was a silence in the hall, Li Zicheng's face was gloomy, and he was very unhappy. He watched Li Yan hunched out of the hall irritably, and suddenly his eyes fell on Gao Yihuan at the entrance of the hall.

"General Gao!" Li Zicheng called out.

Gao Yihuan was thinking about Li Yan, Wen Yu hurried out to meet him, "Minister Gao Yihuan, meet Your Majesty!"

Li Zicheng squinted at him, "This time the Eastern Expedition, I sent you 1 horses to accompany you, do you have any problems!"

Gao Yihuan shook his head and transferred ten thousand away, which was almost equivalent to taking away his territory.

"Your Majesty has an order. No matter how difficult the subject is, I will gather troops as soon as possible and wait for your majesty's order!" Gao Yihuan remembered Niu Jinxing's words and hurriedly kowtowed to salute, but he was very disturbed, worried that Niu Jinxing had just argued with Li Yan One time, forget about his affairs.

Li Zicheng was very upset by Li Yan, seeing Gao Yihuan's swift agreement, he couldn't help but feel a little better.

This is what a courtier should look like. As long as he gives an order, he will go through fire and water, even die.

Seeing that Gao Yihuan readily agreed, Li Zicheng smiled, "Didn't you come to the court to make a statement to me? Why did you suddenly agree!"

"Your Majesty is indeed here to make a statement! However, Your Majesty transferred you to participate in the Eastern Expedition. This is His Majesty's support for you, and it is your honor. How dare you not know how to praise you? No matter how difficult the situation is, I have to overcome it. Cong Long Enter Beijing!!"

Gao Yihuan glanced at Niu Jinxing from the corner of his eye, and cursed in his heart, "Gusun, why don't you speak up for me."

Li Zicheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Gao Yihuan to think so.

He raised Yihuan simply because he felt that his strength was inflated, and he was a little worried. After recruiting, he was also paying attention to making him work hard, and he didn't expect to bring him to Beijing.

But Gao Yihuan thought so, Li Zicheng was naturally happy, he nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "If you have any difficulties, tell me."

Niu Jinxing stood aside and Gao Yihuan could only say to himself: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have no difficulty in myself. As long as Your Majesty gives an order, I can leave immediately. It's just that I am worried that the situation in southern Henan will go wrong after I leave. I hope Your Majesty and the court can handle it well!"

"Oh?" Li Zicheng asked suspiciously, "How do you say it?"

Gao Yihuan's thoughts changed sharply, "I guard the south of Henan for your Majesty. You must guard against Zhang Xianzhong and pay attention to the Ming army in Nanzhili. The strength of the army is barely enough, but a few months ago, Liu Liangzuo in Nanzhi wanted to attack In Henan, my ministers captured Shouzhou and beheaded him. Shouzhou is an important town in Huainan, and the governor of the Ming Dynasty, Ma Shiying, led his troops to seize it. The minister was driven back to Huaibei by the Ming army. Now the troops are still fighting against the Ming army. If Your Majesty It is a great honor for me to let my ministers go to the east to take part in the campaign to collect Beijing, and to enter Beijing from Longlong, but His Majesty wants to transfer my ministers, so I have to send troops and horses to replace my defense area, so as not to lose anything in Henan. This is what I want to state!"

After Li Zicheng heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised. He didn't know that Gao Yihuan had taken Xiangyang, but he didn't expect Gao Yihuan to behead Liu Liangzuo in Shouzhou.

Many generals in the hall couldn't help but also looked at Gao Yihuan and started talking in low voices.

Gao Yihuan was able to think about Henan's defense for Li Zicheng, which made Li Zicheng very satisfied. Seeing that Gao Yihuan was still kneeling, he stretched out his hand and said, "Yihuan, get back on your feet!"

In fact, Li Zicheng didn't make up his mind whether to adjust Yihuan or not.

He just saw that Gao Yihuan took down Xiangyang, and he was a little suspicious and not at ease.

"Your Majesty, the Eastern Expedition is imminent. I think that since General Gao is familiar with the situation in southern Henan and can stop the Ming army and Zhang Xianzhong, it is better to let General Gao continue to stay in southern Henan, so as to avoid a change of general and mistakes, which will cause loopholes in Henan and affect the Your Majesty's great cause of the Eastern Expedition!" Seeing Li Zicheng's hesitation, Niu Jinxing finally stood up.

He chose the timing very well. He opened his mouth when Li Zicheng had already wavered. A simple sentence can achieve the effect, but it is not easy to arouse Li Zicheng's suspicion.

Li Zicheng didn't speak immediately, but cast his eyes on the many generals in the hall, but wherever his eyes went, all the generals avoided him one after another.

Obviously, the generals of the five battalions didn't really want to go to Henan.

Now going to southern Henan, their task is only to defend, and it is difficult to make meritorious deeds. How can it be compared with entering Beijing and sharing the fruits of victory.

This Gao Yihuan captured Xiangyang and beheaded Liu Liangzuo. He had already made great contributions, and now he was transferred to fight in Beijing to share the fruits of victory. Naturally, several generals would not do it.

Among the other generals, there are people who are eager to try, but the south of Henan is related to the safety of Dashun's southern line, and according to Gao Yihuan, they are still fighting with Ma Shiying. Not good.

Although Li Zicheng drove Li Yan out, what he said was not unreasonable.

It is true that the Donglu outside the pass cannot be underestimated. He has to bring the main force to the east to deal with the Donglu, but there must be no loss on the southern front. He really can't find out who to replace Gao Yihuan for a while.

Li Zicheng pondered slightly, and suddenly said: "Yi Huan! Prime Minister Niu's words reminded me. Now Henan can't do without you, you must protect Henan and Xiangyang for me."

"Ah!" Gao Yihuan pretended to be surprised, with a look of disappointment on his face, he hesitated for a moment, and then saluted again: "I take orders!"

Seeing this, Li Zicheng felt a little sorry. Entering the capital from the dragon was indeed a big temptation. He thought it would make Gao Yi happy.

"Yihuan, guard the south of Henan well, and when I take Beijing, I will not be without your reward!" Li Zicheng said, pondering for a moment, "Last year you captured Xiangyang, plus the achievement of beheading Liu Liangzuo, I will give you a reward first." General Yi."

After Gao Yihuan listened, his face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly kowtowed his head to thank him, "I thank you for your majesty's reward, and I will guard the south of Henan for your majesty."

Speaking of this, Gao Yihuan suddenly said: "Your Majesty, speaking of this Eastern Expedition, I have something to report!"

"Oh~" Li Zicheng frowned slightly, "Do you have anything else to report?"

Gao Yihuan estimated that when Li Zicheng went east, the money given to him by the Fan family should also be delivered, so he decided to sell the Fan family to Li Zicheng, "Your Majesty, when I was fighting against Liu Liangzuo in Nanzhi, I found that Liu Liangzuo had passed through Jiexiu Fan's family. There are connections with the Tartars outside the pass. If your Majesty lacks food and pay for the Eastern Expedition, it is better to copy the Fan family. They have colluded with the Eastern Captives, and their family has millions of dollars, so they can provide a batch of food and pay for the army."

Gao Yihuan licked his lips and continued: "In addition, I also captured Liu Liangzuo's younger brother Liu Liangchen, who had surrendered to Donglu more than ten years ago. After interrogation, I found that Donglu seemed to have the intention of entering the customs. Liu Liangzuo, as well as Wu Sangui from Shanhaiguan, are all in contact with Donglu. If your Majesty wants to take Beijing, you must pay attention to Donglu entering the Kou Pass."
