Chapter 259 Contact Nanjing
Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi had a brief meeting in Runing and agreed to advance and retreat together.

Liu Heizi was responsible for containing the Ming army in Xuzhou, while Gao Yihuan quickly wiped out the rebellion and created a certain buffer space to the north.

Li Zicheng's failure to return to Guanzhong means that the Shun Army suffered a double defeat politically and militarily, which had a huge impact on the situation in Henan. Generals of the Shun Army, such as Gao Yihuan and Liu Heizi, were all implicated by Li Zicheng's failure.

Right now, there are powerful enemies on the outside, and people are in turmoil and rebellion inside. After discussing with Gao Yihuan, Liu Heizi returned to Guide in a hurry to arrange defense.

For Gao Yihuan at this time, the most dangerous situation was not that the Qing army went south to invade Henan, but that when the Qing army went south to invade Henan, the Nanming court stabbed him in the back.

This is not impossible. Historically, during this period of time, the Nanming court came up with a strategy of uniting with captives and suppressing thieves.

The Ming Dynasty sent Gao Jie to serve in Henan, but Gao Jie was killed by Xu Dingguo just after entering Henan, which made Shi Kefa's plan fail.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has not been attacked by the Qing army, Gao Yihuan has taken the initiative to show his favor, but the Ming Dynasty is not willing to surrender to him. The back is very unsafe.

But fortunately, the Nanjing court was busy with the distribution of rights after the new emperor ascended the throne, and the communication with the Qing court in the north, and did not use large-scale troops. Therefore, although there were constant frictions on the border, a major war had not yet broken out.

Gao Yihuan alone had to pay attention to the rebellion in Henan, guard against the Tartars going south, and finally guard against backstabbing by the Ming army. Obviously, he couldn't handle it.

Now that Liu Heizi was holding back the Ming army in the direction of Xuzhou, as a barrier to the east of him, Gao Yihuan only needed to pay attention to the north and south directions, and the pressure would undoubtedly be lighter.

At this moment, Gao Yihuan sent him outside the mansion, watched Liu Heizi gallop away, and was about to turn around and go back to make arrangements for the discussion, when a group of cavalry with flags on their backs came galloping from another street.

Gao Yihuan saw from afar that it was the Shunjun Tangma, and couldn't help frowning slightly, fearing that there would be some bad news.

After a while, Tang Ma galloped to the gate of the mansion, got off his horse, and hurried up the steps. When he saw Gao Yihuan standing at the door, blocking his way, he hurriedly said, "I was ordered by the Jiedu envoy to report an emergency situation. General Gao. Please also report."

Gao Yihuan's heart shuddered, "I am Gao Yihuan!"

Tang Ma's face was shocked, and he knelt down on one knee, "General Qi, the Tartars went south and captured the three prefectures of Weihui, Zhangde, and Huaiqing. Tens of thousands of troops stationed in Yuanyang and Yanjin, intending to cross the river and attack Luoyang. Dushi ordered the army to defend the Tartars from crossing the river at Baimadu and Rongze. Luoyang soldiers and horses were deployed along the Yellow River, unable to suppress the rebellion. Jiedushi asked the general to send troops immediately to wipe out Dengfeng Li Jiyu, Yuzhou Li Hao, Xiang Cheng Liuxuan, Xuzhou Han Jiadi and others rebelled, and then sent troops north to defend the Tartars!"

After finishing speaking, Tang Ma hurriedly untied a bamboo tube behind him and presented it to Gao Yihuan.

Zhongzhou is really a place of the Four World Wars!

Gao Yihuan took the bamboo tube, didn't rush to look at it, but said to Tang Ma: "Respond to Jiedushi, let him defend against the Tartars with peace of mind, I will wipe out the rebels as soon as possible, and then go north to join Jiedushi."

Tang Ma hurriedly clasped his fists, got on his horse, and galloped away.

The Qing army has already fought to the edge of the Yellow River, and it may be able to hold back for a while now in June. Once the Yellow River freezes and the Qing army crosses the river on iron cavalry, Henan will suffer disaster.

It is very difficult to gain a foothold here in the place of the Fourth World War in Henan, facing threats from all sides.

If Gao Yihuan wants to maintain a good living environment, he must work together and make diplomatic efforts.

Thinking of this, Gao Yihuan's heart was heavy, "Go and inform the generals, come to Ruzhou quickly, the commander has something important to discuss."

After finishing speaking, Gao Yihuan returned to Yamen with the bamboo tube and went to the study to watch it.

It contains the detailed process of the Tartars attacking Henan, Tu Weihui's mansion, and Li Yan's worries about the current situation.

After reading the letter, Gao Yihuan got up and went to the yard where Wang Shicong and Hu Dawei were under house arrest.

It has been nearly two months since he announced the news that Beijing was captured by Li Zicheng and that Chongzhen hanged himself.

This time when he entered the courtyard, neither of them spoke, but silently led Gao Yihuan into a hall and sat down.

Unprecedentedly, Wang Shicong asked first, "Where are the Eastern captives entering the pass?"

Gao Yihuan nodded, "The Eastern Captives have occupied Beijing, and their troops have already reached the edge of the Yellow River. This time, the Eastern Captives entered the pass not with the intention of plundering, but to seize the land of our Han people!"

Hu Dawei on the side said coldly: "Isn't this caused by your invasion of the army?"

Gao Yihuan said: "General Hu, what's the point of talking now? Besides, Daming was defeated by the Shun Army, and today the Shun Army was defeated by the captives. Do you think this is a good thing for the Ming Dynasty?" ?"

Gao Yihuan and Hu Dawei had to say a few words every time, but this time, he made Hu Dawei lose his temper.

Gao Yihuan continued: "In the current situation, Li Zicheng was defeated by the Donglu and retreated to Guanzhong. The Donglu has already covered the land of Yan and Qi, and is eager to take the Sanjin. In Guanzhong, if Li Zicheng is destroyed, if the next one is not Nanjing, who is it?"

Hu Dawei was silent, Daming couldn't even win against Li Zicheng, if Donglu really destroyed Li Zicheng, then Daming might really have difficulty resisting Donglu to seize Jiangnan.

Wang Shicong pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Then what does the general plan to do in the future?"

"Now that the Eastern captives are entering the pass, they want to seize the artifact. If Mingshun continues to fight, it will only benefit the Eastern captives!" Gao Yihuan didn't hide anything, and directly stated his intentions, "I wanted to submit to Daming, serve as a screen for Daming, and help Daming resist the Eastern captives." , but there is no way to go, so I want to ask Wang Qian to go to Nanjing to help the general contact the court."

"Yes!" Wang Shicong nodded without hesitation, "The general has the world in mind, and I am willing to go for the general."

Wang Shicong's impression of Gao Yihuan is actually good, the only dissatisfaction is that he is a thief.

Now that Chongzhen had died for his country, and Gao Yihuan wanted to fight against the Qing Dynasty, he was naturally willing to agree, helping him was also helping Daming.

Right now, Nanming is making a big deal about the case and letting Wang Shicong go to get involved, so Gao Yihuan doesn't have to worry that he won't come back.

In the place of the Four Wars in Henan, Li Zicheng himself is now in danger. Gao Yihuan has to rely on one side, at least the Ming Dynasty does not come to beat him, so that he can gain a firm foothold in Henan.

"I'll leave this matter to Wang Chen!" Gao Yihuan immediately stood up, bowed, and said, "I hope Wang Chen can leave as soon as possible."

Wang Shicong said: "Then I will leave today."

Hu Dawei was anxious when he heard this, "What about me?"

Gao Yihuan looked at him and said with a smile: "General Hu can choose to continue to live here, or join our army and kill the Tartar guardians together!"
