Chapter 239 Li Yan Goes Out of the City
Gao Yihuan didn't catch Liu Liangchen, that guy was shot by Liu Heizi on the spot, so naturally he didn't interrogate anything.

The reason why he said that Wu Sangui had a connection with Donglu was mainly to remind Li Zicheng.

To prevent Li Zicheng from being caught off guard by Wu Sangui and the Qing army, let him know what to expect.

Copying Fan's family is hoping that Li Zicheng can destroy the Qing army's eyeliner in the pass. This is a move that will help the Dashun army gain a firm foothold.

Li Zicheng desperately wants to become the real emperor, and Dashun also desperately wants to replace the Ming Dynasty. The Eastern Expedition has become a general trend, and no one person can stop it. Gao Yihuan can only say so much.

Since Li Zicheng insisted on going east, they could only give him these reminders, hoping that the Dashun Army would not be defeated like in history.

Without Li Yan's obstruction at the court meeting, the next court meeting proceeded much more smoothly and ended in less than half an hour.

The only thing that was heatedly debated in the middle was who would stay in the guard.

After Sun Chuanting was destroyed, the Ming Dynasty had no elite soldiers in the north, only Jiang Xiang, Tang Tong, Wu Sangui and other border townsmen.

There is no obstacle to the Dashun Army's eastward march, and it is almost foreseeable to go to Beijing and overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

It is obviously more attractive to enter Beijing from the dragon and divide up the property in Beijing than to stay in the pass.

Just like the leader of the Fifth Battalion, no one wants to replace Gao Yihuan and go to Henan, the generals are also reluctant to stay as housekeepers.

Now Guanzhong is Li Zicheng's lair, and the guards should not be too bad. Finally, after a heated debate, it was finally decided that Tian Jianxiu, the second general of the Shun family, and Empress Gao would stay in Xi'an. Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing, Song Xian Ce and others led the main force of the Dashun Army to set off from Xi'an to launch the Eastern Expedition.

The decision was made, the servants sang to leave the court, Li Zicheng got up and left, and after all the officials sent him off, Gao Yihuan hurried to the outside of the hall with many civil and military officials, and hurried back to the post house.

Niu Jinxing finally walked out of the hall, but he didn't leave the palace with everyone, but turned his head and said: "Go and inform your majesty, I have something to see."

In the imperial study room, Niu Jinxing was brought in by the servant and saluted Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng was a little puzzled, "Xiangguo, what else do you want to say?"

Niu Jinxing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, today Li Jiedu disgraced himself in the courtroom. I am worried that he will hold a grudge!"

Li Zicheng frowned, and realized in an instant that he knew that something was wrong with driving Li Yan out of the court, and a huge rift had formed between the two of them.

Niu Jinxing quietly looked at Li Zicheng's face, and immediately bowed and clasped his fists again, "Your Majesty, I think that Li Jiedu must not be allowed to return to Henan, lest something will change!"

Li Yan had a great influence in Henan, and almost all officials in Henan, especially civil servants, were recruited by him.

If Li Yan wants to rebel in Henan, then the Eastern Expedition will definitely be abandoned, and Li Zicheng's great cause will be greatly affected.

For a moment, Li Zicheng's face turned gloomy.

Gao Yihuan hurried back to the post house, and was about to go straight to the backyard, but when he reached the door, he stopped again.

"Where is the general coming back?" Gao Chengwei came up to meet him.

Gao Yihuan looked at him, pondered for a moment, "Chengwei, go to the backyard, find Li Jiedu's attendant, and ask him to tell Li Jiedu to leave Xi'an immediately!"

Gao Chengwei was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't ask any more questions, and immediately bowed and clasped his fists, "Let's do it for the humble job."

"Wait a minute!" Gao Yihuan called to stop him, "Be secretive, don't let the people in the posthouse notice."

"Don't worry, general!" Seeing his serious expression, Gao Chengwei dared not neglect him.

After he left, Gao Yihuan suddenly turned back and said, "Go, prepare some gifts, I'm going to visit General Li's mansion to pay New Year's greetings."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan changed into a set of regular clothes. When he came out, Gao Chengwei hurried back, "General, Li Jiedu's carriage has returned, but no one is there. The attendant said that Li Jiedu asked them to come back first, but he did not return." to the posthouse."

Gao Yihuan was surprised when he heard that, "Get me a carriage quickly."

On the other side, Li Yan came out of the palace in a daze. He was in a very confused mood. He waved the carriage back and walked alone on the streets of Xi'an.

In the early morning, as the sun rises, the early shops on the street start to open, and there are more people on the road.

As Li Yan was walking, he was thinking, Dashun rushed to take Beijing, but couldn't hold it, and finally took advantage of the eastern captives, so wouldn't he become a sinner in the world.

For a moment, Li Yan's heart was in a mess, but he was helpless, just walking aimlessly on the street.

Gao Yihuan was sitting on the carriage, raising the curtain to look around from time to time, and one of Li Yan's attendants in the carriage also opened the window on the other side to scan along the street.

"General, where is my Jieshuai!" the attendant suddenly called out.

Gao Yihuan hurriedly squeezed his body beside him, looked towards the street, and indeed looked at Li Yan in official uniform.

Gao Yihuan was busy facing the outside of the carriage, and Gao Chengwei, who was walking with the carriage, asked, "Is anyone following Li Jiedu?"

"I didn't find it, but Jiedu's official uniform is so conspicuous that everyone on the road noticed it."

Gao Yihuan twitched his cheeks twice, and said in a deep voice, "I can't care about that much."

Li Yan was walking worriedly, when one or two carriages suddenly came to his side, the attendant immediately stretched out his head, and said anxiously: "Master Jie, get in the carriage!"

Li Yan was taken aback for a moment, and he found that it was his attendant. After walking all the way, he also calmed down, so he got into the carriage, only to find that Gao Yihuan was also there, and his face immediately showed displeasure, "What are you doing here?" ?Aren't you afraid of being implicated by me?"

Gao Yihuan went straight to the point, "Jie Shuai, now the Eastern Expedition is a foregone conclusion. It is not Jie Shuai who can stop it alone. Since it cannot be stopped, Jie Shuai should think about it. If the Eastern Expedition fails and the captives enter the customs, what should be done?" what to do?"

Li Yan couldn't help but shake his heart when he heard this, but Gao Yihuan continued: "Jie Shuai, I have received news that Niu Jinxing wants to be unfavorable to Jie Shuai, please leave the city as soon as possible and return to Henan to prepare for the battle!"

After hearing this, Li Yan became silent for a moment.

An hour later, nearly a thousand Shun soldiers suddenly appeared outside the post house, and Zhou Ronghua led nearly a hundred soldiers into the backyard in a hurry.

"General, I didn't see Li Jiedu!" The soldiers came to report one after another.

Zhou Ronghua's face darkened, and he hurried outside. At this time, a carriage stopped in front of the post house, and Gao Yihuan got out of it.

"Brother Zhou, what is this?" Gao Yihuan was shocked when he saw the soldiers and horses surrounding the posthouse, and seeing Zhou Ronghua approaching, he guessed right.

Seeing Gao Yihuan's suspicious expression, Zhou Ronghua didn't answer, but first asked, "Where is Brother Gao going?"

Gao Yihuan asked suspiciously: "Go and pay homage to Haohou, I used to be his subordinate."

Zhou Ronghua nodded, and asked again: "Brother Gao, you didn't get involved with Li Jiedu, did you?"

Gao Yihuan was shocked, and suddenly grabbed Zhou Ronghua's hand and shook it vigorously, "Thanks to brother Zhou reminding me yesterday, don't get too close to Li Jiedu, I went out to avoid him, and I didn't go out with him in the morning." What, what happened to Li Jiedu?"

Seeing this, Zhou Ronghua withdrew his hand and said with a sneer: "It's okay, Brother Gao is thinking too much."

Inside the palace city, Li Zicheng wondered, "Has Li Yan left already?"

Niu Jinxing cupped his fists, "Yes, the order is one step late, he has already returned to Henan!"

Li Zicheng's face became gloomy and cold, Li Yan fled back to Henan, and it would be difficult for him to take people. He had to wait until Beijing was occupied and the throne was completely secured before dealing with Li Yan.
