Chapter 286
As soon as Gao Yihuan's words came out of his mouth, the surrounding generals suddenly turned pale with shock, and Jin Shenghuan's expression changed drastically, and he shouted anxiously, "Commander, why is this?"

"Why?" Gao Yihuan pressed the hilt of the knife with one hand, and said coldly, "This commander just asked you to burn the food and grass of the Tartars. Why did you burn several cities in succession? Do you have the people of Henan in your heart?"

Gao Yihuan was filled with righteous indignation, and waved his hand: "Drag it down and kill me!"

Jin Shenghuan's forehead was sweating. Gao Yihuan actually hinted at what he did, but Gao Yihuan did not say it clearly.

I'm here to relieve the Lord's worries, why did the commander suddenly turn his face and deny him?

After Gao Yihuan finished speaking, several personal guards were about to step forward. Everyone froze for a moment, but no one made a sound to stop them.

At this moment, Gao Yihuan was sent to ride the tiger south, but his face became angry, but his heart became anxious, "Damn it, play off! Jin Shenghuan, you are so unpopular, no one will intercede for you?"

It's not easy to discuss this kind of matter with his subordinates. Speaking out will damage his image, and he can only reveal a little meaning, and then it all depends on having a few smart subordinates who can understand his meaning.

Sometimes, beside the superior, there are just a few people who need to be smarter.

Fortunately, Chen Mingxia was very winking at the side. He winked at the few people beside him vigorously. Wang Deren was a stupefied guy, so he couldn't react. Fortunately, Bai Wenxuan was a little smarter, and hurried out to stop him, "Wait a minute!"

He stretched out his hand to stop the soldiers, and saluted Gao Yihuan: "Commander! General Jin also made such a bad move for the safety of Ru Ning. Please also consider his heart and merits, and let him It's a failure!"

Jin Shenghuan was excited when he heard this, "Old Bai, you are righteous!"

When Gao Yihuan saw someone coming out to speak, he relaxed a little, knowing that the play could be finished with peace of mind.

Gao Yihuan has always boasted that he loves the people, which is different from trespassers, but this time he really harmed the people.

For the vast majority of people, life is the most important thing. They don't care about the differences between Hua and Barbarians, and they hate whoever prevents them from farming.

The decision to burn the city and fields was carried out in a hurry. Gao Yihuan didn't have much time to do his work. Basically, he was driven out violently, so he was bound to be hated.

As a power, the people can tolerate bad people among them, but the leader is also a bad thing, so it is difficult to control people's hearts.

It's like a dynasty can produce treacherous ministers, as long as the emperor is still a good emperor, the people can bear it, but if the emperor is a faint or tyrant, then the dynasty will lose its support.

Because of this, Gao Yihuan had to find someone to take the blame.

Of course he was just putting on a show, he didn't really intend to kill Jin Shenghuan, and not only did he not kill him, but he had to appease him in private, and reward him after the limelight passed.

In this way, when encountering dirty things, someone will rush to do it for him.

Naturally, this kind of trick cannot be hidden from smart people, but Gao Yihuan doesn't need to hide it from smart people. There are smart people's rules among smart people. This clumsy trick is to buy the hearts of ordinary people.

"When the city and the village were burned and the people were displaced, how can I spare him!" Gao Yihuan continued to say with a straight face.

Chen Mingxia saluted and said: "Commander, although General Jin caused innocent disasters to the people of several counties in Kaifeng Prefecture, he also left the Tartars without food and protected the people in southern Henan. The humble officials thought that there would be rewards and punishments, so it would not be a death penalty."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at Gao Yihuan, which meant that it was all right, before the Tartars retreated, you almost got it.

Among the generals of the high army, some people are indeed a little emotional about the burning of cities and fields.Zhengzhou was occupied by the Tartars, and the people almost fled. If they didn’t burn it, they belonged to the Tartars. They had no objection, but why did Xinzheng and Xuzhou also burn it?They are all from Henan, so how can they do it.

But although everyone was a little uncomfortable, it was obviously too much to kill Jin Shenghuan like this.At this time, all the generals came to their senses and pleaded with Jin Shenghuan one after another, saying that Jin Shenghuan had meritorious service and would not be punished with death.

Seeing this, Gao Yihuan said, "Since all the officers and men are pleading for you, I will save you from death first, but the crime of living is hard to forgive, and you can get fifty army sticks yourself later!"

"Humble job, thank you Commander for not killing me!" Jin Shenghuan also recalled at this time, he is also considered a smart person, but he still wiped off his sweat, it's too fucking scary!
Gao Yihuan nodded and turned his attention to the battlefield.

At this moment, Doduo ordered people to blow the horn for retreat, and the low sound of the horn resounded across the field, and the Tartars who came like a tide reined in their horses one after another, and then pulled their horses back to the north.

Duoduo's light soldiers came after him, but the army didn't carry much rations, and was destroyed by Gao Yihuan along the way, making it impossible for him to get supplies, so he could only retreat with hatred.

Gao Yihuan looked at the hundreds of Tartars in the distance, surrounded by this white-armored general, looked north, squinted his eyes for a while, then waved his hand and ordered, "Mingjin withdraws troops! Order Xuanhuying to come back. The scouts continue to monitor the Tartars, If there is any situation, report it to the commander immediately."

When the army returned to Yancheng, many people who fled had already gathered outside the city. Some of them were people who escaped from Zhengzhou when the Qing army plundered Zhengzhou, and some of them were Gao Yihuan who fled from Xinzheng and Xuzhou by burning fields and cities. of the people.

Among these people, those who escaped from Zhengzhou would naturally not hate him, but those who fled from Xinzheng and Xuzhou were different.

These two places were not occupied by the Tartars. Gao Yihuan voluntarily gave up and violently burned the city and destroyed the land, so he was hated by others.

When the army returned to the city, Gao Yihuan even let people announce that Jin Shenghuan made his own claim and harmed the people.The soldiers were ordered to hit fifty army sticks, but the soldiers had already been instructed, and the boards were swung down heavily and fell gently.

When the board fell, Jin Shenghuan completely understood it, and yelled for a while very cooperatively.

That night, Gao Yihuan asked someone to bring good wine and food to appease Jin Shenghuan, and then came to check on the injury in person, implying that he would make up for him in a few days.

Jin Shenghuan's heart became more at ease, and he was a little happy. After this incident, he could be regarded as the confidant of the handsome Gao.

When he was happy, his appetite improved. He ate up the roast chicken and roast pig that Gao Yihuan sent, and drank a pot of wine before falling asleep happily. But when he went to bed, he felt something was wrong. "Great Commander Gao has so many subordinates, why did he hint me to do that thing? Am I going to specialize in this kind of thing in the future? I'm afraid I won't get a good reputation like this!"

Gao Yihuan's army returned to Yancheng, and there were many complicated things that he needed to deal with.

In the early morning of the next day, scouts came to report that Duoduo's army had retreated through Xuzhou, which made Gao Yihuan heave a sigh of relief.

Without external threats, Gao Yihuan was ready to deal with the current matter, summed up the battle, and then thought about how to reward the soldiers.

At this time, Gao Chengxun came in suddenly and reported: "Marshal, Wang Qian is back!"

Gao Yihuan frowned, "So fast, where is he?"

"Wait in the festival hall!" Gao Chengxun replied.

Gao Yihuan hurriedly stood up, "Go, take me there!"

Not long after, Gao Yihuan came outside the festival hall and saw Wang Shicong wearing a Taoist uniform and a net scarf, sitting on a chair with a somewhat slumped expression.

Gao Yihuan's heart trembled when he saw this, but he still walked in with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Wang Qian!"

Wang Shicong turned his head to see Gao Yihuan, stood up hurriedly, bowed apologetically and said, "I have entrusted you with the responsibility of the general, and something went wrong during the trip to Nanjing!"
