Chapter 479: An Ideal Warlord
Wang Jinshi was a little confused, I knelt down to you, and you still don't let me go.

Faced with Gao Yihuan's questioning, Wang Jinshi felt ashamed and angry, but since he knelt down, he couldn't let his previous efforts go to waste.

"Duke, I shouldn't have colluded with the Zuo army. Not only did I harm myself, but I also harmed the whole city." Wang Jinshi was dejected and completely lost his temper. He seemed to have succumbed to Gao Yihuan's lust.

Gao Yihuan stared at Wang Youcai, then glanced at everyone, and suddenly said sullenly: "I know that you are dissatisfied with the tax law I enforced in Huguang, so you want to collude with the left army. But the world is like this, someone Gao implements With this kind of tax law, did the money and food collected go into the pocket of my Gao? No, all the money and food were used by me to train the army, appease the refugees, and protect the country and the people."

Gao Yihuan paused for a moment, seeing that these squires were talking about their thoughts, they all lowered their heads, but he raised his voice and said: "Here, I want to ask you, do you want to charge more rent and drive the people to nowhere? Let the government not be able to collect taxes and have no money to raise soldiers. In the end, bandits, warlords, and Tartars will come together to kill you and rob you of the money you collected. Shuai can collect more taxes and use them to train the army, resist the Tartars, warlords, and bandits, and give you a stable and peaceful environment?"

All the squires, including Wang Youcai who was kneeling, were all stunned.

Gao Yihuan's voice grew louder and louder, he began to clenched his fists and began to perform passionately, "The world has become like this now, the northern Tartars are rampant, Bashu is occupied by thieves, and the southern warlords are everywhere. Would you like to be born in such an unreasonable world?" In a stable and dangerous environment, living in constant fear of bandits, warlords, and Tartars breaking into your house, taking away your wealth, and raping your wives and daughters? I don’t think anyone wants to! Then why don’t you support me? , to create a peaceful world? You pay taxes according to the regulations, the general collects taxes to train the army, defends the Tartars outside, suppresses the bandits inside, wipes out the warlords, eliminates the evils, and everyone performs their duties, isn’t it good?”

Gao Yihuan opened his arms domineeringly, the gentry had already knelt on the ground, and Wang Jinshi was crying bitterly.

Yes, Zuo Jun made them understand that no matter how much rent they collect and how much money they have, if there is no order and no one to protect them, they can only be slaughtered by others, and they are nothing but fat sheep.

The reason why the gentry turned to the imperial court was not only influenced by Confucianism, but also because the imperial court represented order, law and rules.

Under the rule of the imperial court, people are bound to pay for their lives by killing people, and pay for their debts. There are no soldiers who just rush into the house to kill and steal money.

But now the imperial court is weak and has lost the function of restraint. The Zuozhen warlords wantonly burned, killed and looted, but the imperial court has no way to do it, and has lost the ability to punish.

Nowadays, the gentry and common people in the world are actually very confused and don't know what they need, but after a thorough understanding, it is very simple, just the word "peace".

At this moment, they all understood the ambition of Marshal Gao, and realized that he was not some giant bandit, nor was he an ordinary separatist warlord, but a great man with noble sentiments and ideals.

In fact, Gao Yihuan's ambition is far more than simply sweeping the world. Whether it is Zhang Xianzhong, the Tartars, or the Ming Dynasty, he doesn't pay attention to it.

The node of time has entered the end of the era of great navigation, and a more exciting era is coming.

Since I came here, I can't just level the Central Plains, it's so simple, I have to look at the outside world, but it's useless to talk about it now, for Gao Yihuan and his subordinates, this is far away.

The country gentry didn't know what was going on, but they thought what Gao Dashuai said was nice, and they all knelt down, expressing their support for Gao Dashuai.

Now Wang Jinshi was completely convinced, and finally figured it out in his heart. Judging from his years of experience, he could tell that the handsome man Gao was not an ordinary person.

Chen Mingxia stroked the small beard under his jaw from behind, looking at Gao Yihuan's back, he was very satisfied.

At this time, Gao Yihuan finally bent down and helped Wang Youcai up with tears streaming down his face, "The old man can realize that he is confused, and he can correct his mistakes. I am very pleased. The money is considered as a fine for your atonement. The past things we Don't mention it again, from now on, you pay taxes, and peace will be guarded by me."

Wang Jinshi burst into tears, and his nose was cold, "The Duke will not pursue the old man's crimes, and the old man is grateful. From now on, he is willing to work for the Duke, and he must abide by the rules of the Duke."

Gao Yihuan was taken aback, the old boy was very good at pushing his nose and face, and wanted to serve him.

At this time, a scout came to the front of the mansion on horseback. When he saw Gao Yihuan, he quickly got off his horse, stepped forward, and whispered in his ear.

Gao Yihuan frowned, and told the scouts to step aside. He first untied the thorns on Wang Youcai's back, then waved someone to fetch a cloak, wrapped it around him, and said, "The old man is weak. If you have something to do, you all should leave. Let's talk about it in detail after I ask Zuo Liangyu for an explanation."

Wang Jinshi put on Gao Yihuan's cloak, he was so happy that he said goodbye and left.

Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang gathered the elite, and tens of thousands of horses gathered to the riverside. The momentum was huge and murderous.

Ships shuttled across the river, and the Zuo Army built a temporary dock in Jiangbei. Hundreds of large and small ships came and went, transporting countless soldiers, luggage, food and grass to Jiangbei.

Gao Yihuan and a group of Wei Wu officers stood on an unknown hill in the distance, using binoculars to scan the left army who looked like ants moving by the river, with a sneer on their faces.

"When the Zuo army lands, they must contact Hanchuan and send someone to intercept and kill all the sentry cavalry of the Zuo army." Gao Yihuan ordered coldly.

At this time, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, Zuo Liangyu led Li Guoying, Xu Yong and other generals to stand by the river, watching the army cross the river.

Tens of thousands of horses were about to cross the Yangtze River. Troops, livestock, tents, pots, pans, food, equipment and other things were all over the river beach, and tens of thousands of left troops were busy.

Grand Marshal Zuo rode his horse and stood by the river, full of ambition, looking at his men and horses, he felt a little excited.

Since Gao Yihuan entered Huguang, Zuo Liangyu hadn't fought for more than two years. The soldiers of the Zuo army were so idle that they only brought disaster to Wuchang.

This time Gao Yihuan's big defeat in southern Henan was his good opportunity. Wuchang has been completely withered, and it's time for him to change his nest.

I heard that Gao Yihuan managed Jingxiang well, after this time, Marshal Zuo doesn't plan to return to Wuchang.

At this time, the generals of the Zuo Army surrounded Zuo Liangyu like stars holding the moon, all of them were very excited.

Zuo Liangyu was high-spirited, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the north bank, "Take down Jingxiang, I will make the court a duke, and you all have to be named Bofenghou~haha~"

Zuo Liangyu was talking, but Hou Fangyu galloped over on horseback, came to Zuo Liangyu and whispered in his ear, Zuo Liangyu turned his head to look at him, his face was instantly filled with disbelief and astonishment~
