Chapter 265

After hearing what the two said, Gao Yihuan felt happy. He didn't say anything at the moment. Instead, he helped them up and said with a smile, "My commander, Chen Liuren, speaking of it, we are all township party members. You two can understand the current situation clearly. Shuai is very gratifying. Why, don't you two introduce yourself?"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Xuan raised his head, glanced at Gao Yihuan, then lowered his head nervously, cupped his fists and said, "Report to Commander, my name is Liu Xuan, I'm from Xiangcheng, and I followed Han Jiadi to attack Yancheng. Today, I voted under the commander-in-chief, I have no other intentions, I just hope to serve in the army, only the commander-in-chief will follow the lead to atone for the past sins."

"Okay!" Gao Yihuan nodded.

When Li Ji met Gao Yihuan and cast his eyes on him, he clasped his fists and said, "Report to the commander in chief, Li Jiyu is appointed to a humble position. I am willing to die under the command of the commander in chief, and pay off my merits."

Historically, after the collapse of the Dashun court, the situation in Henan was extremely complicated. Powers from all over the country rose up, some remained loyal to Li Zicheng, some belonged to the Ming Dynasty in name, and some surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Changed the king's flag.

Some cities belonged to Dashun at the beginning of the year, and the Ming flag was raised every few days. After a few days to visit, the triangular yellow dragon flag of the Qing army was planted again.

Because Henan was relatively chaotic at that time, the records about that period of history were also chaotic, but what happened to Li Jiyu was relatively clear.

According to the "Records of the Qing Dynasty", he died in the fourth year of Shunzhi, and his whole family was killed because of his participation in the Taoist Wang anti-Qing case.

Gao Yihuan listened to the two people's opinions, and immediately comforted him: "Very good. You two can sincerely vote and save hundreds of thousands of Henan people from swords. This is a great achievement. This commander will appoint and reward you."

After hearing this, the two of them raised their hearts to the ground, their faces were overjoyed, and they quickly saluted and thanked, expressing their loyalty.

However, Gao Yihuan continued: "Nowadays Henan is in critical condition. The Tartars have taken over Weihui, Huaiqing, and Zhangde prefectures. Tens of thousands of horsemen are approaching the Yellow River. Once they cross the Yellow River and enter Henan, the people will surely be wiped out. Now we Zhongzhou heroes, we should abandon the past, whether it is a bandit or an official, we should do our best to fight against the Qing Dynasty, guard the elders of Zhongzhou, and avoid the slaughter of the Tartars."

"Now that King Li Chuang has lost, the Ming court can't count on it. If we Henan people mess up on our own, we will only take advantage of the Tartars. You will all become sinners!" Gao Yihuan looked at the two of them and reminded, "You only need to surrender sincerely. , with this commander in one mind, to protect the people of Zhongzhou, this commander must be regarded as Brother Paoze, but if he dares to be half-hearted, then don't blame this commander for his dark heart~"

After listening to his words, Liu Xuan hurriedly expressed his loyalty again.

After Li Jiyu heard this, he was surprised and ashamed, "What the commander taught me, I will definitely follow the commander and guard the people."

Gao Yihuan nodded in satisfaction, and then ordered the two soldiers to obey.

After finishing the matter, Gao Yihuan ordered Jin Shenghuan to be the vanguard to collect Xuzhou and Xiangcheng, and returned to Yancheng by himself.

In Yancheng County, Zhao Mingchong followed the battle between Gao Yihuan and the rebels with mixed feelings. The spies he sent out of the city came back one after another, bringing back news of the war.

Gao Yihuan's men and horses first ambushed Han Jiadi who was going to rescue Xuzhou, defeated [-] rebels, and then drove the rout to the north bank of Xiaoyingshui.

Zhao Mingchong thought there would be a big war. After a long time like this, Bai Wang might send troops over after receiving his letter, but in the end, more than [-] rebels surrendered directly.

This time, Zhao Mingchong was stunned!

More than [-] rebels!Why do you have to fight!Why didn't you shoot an arrow, and you were so scared that you surrendered?

How hard are you attacking the city and filling the river?
Why do you kneel when you see Gao Yihuan?

Li Jiyu and Liu Xuan can't be blamed for this. After all, their core team is only 5000 people, and they can't compare with Gao Yihuan's people. I'm afraid they can't beat Gao Yihuan with 20 or [-] people. The rest of them say yes [-], but in fact they are all farmers, and they are just holding personal games. It is okay to play Yancheng, but it is not enough to play Gao Yihuan.

Aside from being shocked, Zhao Mingchong was also very entangled in his heart. Gao Yihuan defeated the rebels and occupied Xuzhou and Xiangcheng. That Yancheng was completely separated from the area controlled by Bai Shuai, and Bai Shuai had no troops to support him, so he was isolated stand up.

Based on his understanding of Gao Yihuan, it is absolutely impossible for Gao Yihuan to let him continue to occupy Yancheng, and he will definitely swallow his territory, which makes him distressed.

Zhao Mingchong sighed. Right now he has no countermeasures, so he can only take one step at a time.

At dusk, under the rays of the setting sun, the sunset glow in the west is red.

At this moment, exclamations suddenly came from the wall of Yancheng City, and the soldiers climbed to the top of the city to look at it. Outside the city, there was a dense crowd of people, at least more than [-] people, looking at Yancheng. Come.

In the front are thousands of horse troops, the horses are galloping like lightning, raising billowing yellow dust, and behind are the infantry with bright armor and neat formation, looking murderous and menacing.

Zhao Mingchong could swear that the army he saw was probably only comparable to Li Zicheng's old battalion, and Bai Shuai's soldiers and horses did not have such momentum.

Before the crowds, a big black flag fluttered in front, with a large golden word "Gao" embroidered on it, indicating to the defenders at the top of the city that they were the men and horses of Gao Yihuan, the defense envoy of southern Henan.

At this time, Zhao Mingchong, who was standing at the head of the city, saw the scene in front of him, which made him gasp.

Gao Yihuan's men and horses are strong and strong, at least they are the best in Henan.

"Captain, let's open the city to meet General Gao!" A brigade commander next to him couldn't help saying.

In the eyes of several officers, Zhao Mingchong's entanglement was not present, but a little expectation was revealed in their eyes.

Yancheng is close to Runing. Runing under Gao Yihuan’s rule, the people are peaceful and the business is active. Merchants from the central, northern and western parts of Yuzhou, and even from Guanzhong, all come to Runing to buy goods, bringing a lot of Runing’s goods to Yancheng. information.

All the soldiers in Yancheng knew that Gao Yihuan's men were not only well-equipped and paid, but also had military land to share, pensions after death, and disabled people who could be the head of the village, so there was basically no worries.

Bai Wang was kind to Zhao Mingchong, but the officers and ordinary soldiers below couldn't appreciate Bai Wang's kindness.

For them, since they are serving as soldiers to eat food, why not find a better protagonist?
Zhao Mingchong listened to Zhang Lu's words, pondered for a while, and sighed, "Open the city gate and welcome General Gao into the city!"

The hundreds of thousands of rebels forced him to ask Gao Yihuan for help. Now that Gao Yihuan has surrendered the rebels, he is still easy to catch.

Not long after, the city gate opened, Zhao Mingchong led his subordinates, and galloped out of the city to welcome Gao Yihuan into the city.

That night, in the lobby of the county government, Gao Yihuan celebrated his achievements with a very warm atmosphere.

After drinking for three rounds, Gao Yihuan suddenly picked up the wine glass and said, "Half a month ago, my commander received a letter from Luoyang, asking me to go north and deploy defenses as soon as possible to prevent the Tartars from crossing the river. The internal affairs are over now, my commander Determined to go north as soon as possible!"

Speaking of this, Gao Yihuan looked at Zhao Mingchong and said, "Captain Zhao, you, with 3000 troops, will also go north with this commander, and do your part to fight against the Qing Dynasty, how about it?"

Zhao Ming drank a few cups and was already slightly drunk, but when he heard the words, he was so frightened that he shivered, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

With a "babble", he stood up from his seat, rushed to the middle of the lobby, bowed his head and bowed, "I am willing to listen to the command of the commander, and I hope that the commander will follow suit. However, I have limited ability and 3000 troops, it is really difficult , I also ask the commander-in-chief to transfer a general to lead, and I am willing to help with all my heart."

Gao Yihuan couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw that his face was pale, and he agreed so readily. He didn't expect Li Mingchong to react so violently when he mentioned it.

But Gao Yihuan was very happy in his heart, and helped him to be sensible, so he raised his wine glass and said with a surprised face: "Captain Zhao, why are you doing this, get up, let's drink first, we will talk about this later~"
