Chapter 391 A Conspiracy

After repeated defeats in the battles between the Shun army and the Qing army, Li Zicheng no longer had the confidence to defeat the Qing army, and he fought the Qing army only to protect his own foundation, without any national sentiments, and he did not fight for righteousness.

Since it was not for righteousness and Guanzhong was difficult to stick to, leaving Guanzhong was the best choice for Li Zicheng.

For him, abandoning Guanzhong is just a pity for his foundation, but it is not a psychological burden.

Li Zicheng thought about going to the south to reopen his business, but the morale that had just been raised by the soldiers of the Shun Army disappeared immediately.

For the soldiers of the Shun Army who had entered Beijing and already had a family business in Guanzhong, they were no longer barefoot mud legs, but new nobles with families and businesses. Li Zicheng wanted to leave because he wanted them to throw Home industry.

After the establishment of the Dashun Dynasty, the wealth accumulated by each of the generals of the Shun Army was long enough for them to spend their entire lives in abundance. Not many people were willing to do it all over again for the sake of Li Zicheng's personal ambitions.

Li Zicheng doesn't care about these things, all he can think of now is, "Although I can't beat the Qing army, I can beat the old Zhu's family without any problem."

Li Zicheng has this self-confidence. After all, Lao Tzu Chongzhen in Beijing was forced to hang himself by him. How can the boy Zhu Cihong in Nanjing be his opponent?Our old Li has bullied Lao Zhu's family in this life.

And this Gao Yihuan, who actually betrayed me, waited for me to break out of Guanzhong, enter Huguang, get rid of the attack of the Qing army, and throw all the Qing army to him to deal with.At that time, look at that traitor, won't he kneel down and beg me!

Li Zicheng has made up his mind, and the next thing to consider is how to achieve a strategic retreat and turn to the south.

There are two main roads in Henan to enter the customs, one is through Tongguan, and the other is Shangnan Road.

Now there are many Qing troops outside Tongguan, and the roads are impassable, and the only way out of Tongguan is Hanzhong and Shangnan Road.

The terrain of Hanzhong is closed, and there will be time for the outside world to react. As soon as he withdraws into Hanzhong, Gao Yihuan will be prepared, so Li Zicheng can only go to Shangnan.

This is also the channel through which he now communicates with Gao Yihuan. The supplies in Gao Yihuan's hands are from Nanyang, or through Wuguan, Shangnan, Danfeng, Shangzhou, to Chang'an, or through Danshui to Danfeng, and then through Shangzhou Go to Chang'an.

Li Zicheng decided to go to Shangzhou to go out of the customs, but Gao Yihuan was not a good opponent. If he blocked it, the Shun army who had been defeated repeatedly might not be able to break through his obstruction, so he had to lure Gao Yihuan away.

Although the soldiers of the Shun Army had low morale because Li Zicheng wanted to evacuate Guanzhong, and felt that Li Zicheng was not authentic, but Li Zicheng was full of confidence in his plan, and ordered Niu Jinxing to do it immediately, and lured Gao Yihuan to Northern Henan, so that he could borrow Road south of Henan into Chu.

In the residence of the Prime Minister in Chang'an, Niu Jinxing walked in from outside the residence with a frosty expression on his face.

"Father! How is the battle ahead?" Niu Quan who came to greet him asked anxiously.

But Niu Jinxing glared at him, waved his sleeves, and shouted angrily, "Get out of the way!"

Niu Quan didn't understand why Niu Jinxing was furious, and was so frightened that he stood dumbfounded in the courtyard, watching Niu Jinxing sneak into the study and slam the door, without recovering for a long time.

He stood in the courtyard for a while, probably because the situation was not optimistic, his face was cloudy, and he suddenly waved his hand and called a confidant, "Go and call some people, and quietly send the money in the house to the manor in Lantian. Cover up."

After giving the order, Niu Quan returned to his room full of worries, but after a while, another servant came over, saying that it was Niu Jinxing who called him.

Niu Quan hurriedly came to the outside of the study, pushed open the door, and saw Niu Jinxing sitting in front of the desk with a dejected expression.

"Father, this is?" Niu Quan couldn't help asking.

Niu Jinxing didn't talk nonsense, he sighed before saying anything, "Oh! Da Shun Dynasty is about to come to an end. You and my father and son can't continue to stay on this broken ship, we must find another way out, otherwise we will be killed."

"Father, are we really going to be overwhelmed?" Niu Quan's face was full of shock, and then he panicked, "But how can we go out now? Could it be that we are like Gao Yihuan?"

"Gao Yihuan is smart, did not participate in the Eastern Expedition, and has soldiers in his hands. He can vote, but we can't. My father was confused for a while, and he first proposed Li Zicheng's Eastern Expedition. How could the Ming Dynasty let us father and son go?" Niu Jinxing for a while Silent, then raised his head, saw Niu Quan's pale face, and suddenly comforted him in a deep voice: "Don't think so much now, and don't worry about these things, you have already figured out a way out for your father. Now there are two things, let you go manage!"

"Two what things?" Niu Quan asked absently.

Niu Jinxing took a letter from the table and handed it to Niu Quan, "First thing, find someone reliable and send this letter to Wu Sangui or Azig. Second thing, You personally escort 250 million taels of silver to Nanyang and hand it over to Gao Yihuan, asking him to send troops to Luoyang!"

Niu Quan's face was full of shock, his mind was really muddled, and he didn't quite understand what Niu Jinxing wanted.

Nanyang government office, when Gao Yihuan came back from outside the city, Li Yan, Lu Yifang, Wang Shicong and others were already sitting in the hall, drinking tea and chatting, waiting for Gao Yihuan to come back.

At this time, several people were talking about the affairs of Guanzhong, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, Li Yan stood up, and said to them: "The commander is back."

At that moment, everyone hurriedly put down the teacups in their hands, and stood up after them. Seeing Gao Yihuan walking briskly, his eyes were in a line of smiles, and he walked in, "Hahaha~ I heard that Li Zicheng sent us money?"

Everyone bowed first and said, "See you, Commander."

Lu Yifang then said: "Reporting to the Commander, Guanzhong sent us money, a total of 250 million taels, which have been transported to Xixia County through Shangzhou."

"Two hundred and five?" Gao Yihuan couldn't help frowning, Li Zicheng scolding Lao Tzu?It seems that he is reluctant to give it!

Gao Yihuan went to the main seat to do his job, and waved for everyone to sit down, looking very good.

Two hundred and five is two hundred and five, as long as you get the silver, you can scold me whatever you want, anyway, it's a lot of meat.

Gao Yihuan had no face or skin, he couldn't hide the joy in his heart, and he smiled again, "Has Hu Cao sent someone to check, is there such a number?"

"Marshal, it is indeed 250 million taels, all of which are 50 taels of treasury silver." Lu Yifang also smiled. With this amount of silver, the treasury's silver will reach more than [-] million, and he can easily It's been a long time.

Gao Yihuan was very happy when he heard that it was 250 million taels, but he was also a little puzzled. Li Zicheng, the master of skinning and plucking geese, actually gave an extra 50 taels, which is really strange.

"Where are the people in Guanzhong?" Gao Yihuan was happy for a while, and then remembered the business, "Did you say anything about Li Zicheng's request?"

Li Zicheng gave 50 more, and he gave it all at once, so he must not be able to hold on.

Li Yan said: "People are still at Xixiakou, and Niu Quan, the son of Niu Jinxing, is here. Naturally, the request is for us to go north with all our strength, attack Luoyang, and force the Duoduo army to return for help."

Gao Yihuan frowned again, he was just a little curious at first, but now he couldn't help sitting up straight, and said seriously: "Didn't Zhou Ronghua come over?"

"No, General Zhou didn't come this time!" Li Yan replied.

Gao Yihuan touched the beard under his chin, and felt that something was wrong. Li Zicheng, the grandson of the turtle, didn't have some bad ideas, right?
Previously, Li Zicheng knew that Zhou Ronghua had a friendship with Lao Tzu, so he sent Zhou Ronghua over to buy supplies from Lao Tzu.

Now that such a big matter as sending troops is more urgent than buying supplies, why not let Zhou Ronghua come over, after all, I have always communicated with him.

Gao Yihuan narrowed his eyes, and suddenly said: "Mr. Li, send someone to urge Niu Quan to come to Fucheng immediately."
