Chapter 210 Old Li, Do You Think I Still Have a Chance?
Gao Huan originally thought that Fu Zonglong was killed and the Qin army fled back to Shaanxi, which would order the Ming Dynasty to end the internal struggle and destroy the rebel army first.
Therefore, Gao Huan felt that Wang Qiaonian and others would not attack him again after receiving his warning.
Thinking of the destruction of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the early establishment of the Hongguang Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and swept the north, and the Southern Ming court was in danger, the Donglin Party members sent Hou Fangyu to instigate Zuo Liangyu to rebel in the east, which eventually led to the collapse of the Southern Ming regime, Gao Huan regretted it a little, and was too optimistic.
Now, while the situation of the bandit suppression situation gradually deteriorates, Wang Qiaonian still takes action against the military government, which undoubtedly teaches Gao Huan a lesson. The stupidity of friendly forces is more deadly than the powerful enemy.
Gao Huan now had an impulse to give up Xiangcheng and let Li Zicheng rush into the eastern Henan plain.
Of course, in this way, the four counties controlled by the military government, as well as Xuzhou and other places, will be the first to be defeated, and will definitely be done first, but Wang Qiaonian will also die.
This idea allowed Gao Huan to see the pleasure of Wang Qiaonian's self-revenge, but he also suffered heavy losses. The situation in Henan would be like the Hongguang court, and would be completely defeated due to internal strife.
Gao Huan just thought about it, Wang Qiaonian deserves to die, but Gao Huan will not be doomed with him.
In the festival, many generals of the red army were all filled with righteous indignation and hatred when they heard that their nests were stolen.
"Supervisor! Give me three thousand soldiers and I will destroy those turtle grandchildren!" Xu Heihu said furiously.
Wang Jingde said in a deep voice: "We are fighting with the thieves on the front line. The man surnamed Wang is raiding our nest from behind. This turtle grandson is too careless!"
As Li Yan expected, after hearing the news, the generals wanted to rebel immediately, break into Kaifeng, and take down Wang Qiaonian's head.
Gao Huan sat in the festival hall and waited for the generals to vent for a while, and gradually calmed down.
The so-called "take advantage of others' danger" is to give people a knife when they are weak and have no time to fight back.
Now Gao Huan is facing Li Zicheng's attack head-on, and he has no strength to turn against Wang Qiaonian, so Wang Qiaonian dares to seize the four counties at this time.
Gao Huan raised his hand and said to the many generals: "Everything is quiet."
Everyone calmed down when they heard the words. Gao Huan immediately asked the two military advisors and several staff members, "What do you think of the gentlemen?"
This time, Wang Qiaonian's move brought huge crisis to the military government, so Li Yan and others hurried to Xiangcheng.
"Supervisor!" Li Yan said in a deep voice: "The four counties are the foundation of the military government, and they must not be given to Wang Qiaonian. At present, Liu Zehan has 10,000 people, and has arrived in Xinzheng, and Liu Liangzuo has 20,000 people. He has also arrived in Zhengzhou. The general must end the battle in Xiangcheng as soon as possible. Only when the army returns to defense, Wang Qiaonian dares not act rashly."
"The key is that Li Zicheng's army is gathering outside the city. Once the army retreats, hundreds of thousands of rebels rushed into Kaifeng Prefecture, four counties and Xuzhou and other places, and they will inevitably be robbed. Everyone knows what the rebels are like. By the time of this, we and Wang Qiaonian will be finished." Song Xiance said in a deep voice: "The problem now is that we cannot repel the rebels. Withdrawal will only make more than a year of hard work waste! Wang's surname wants to die and make a fool of himself. We can't die together like him!"
The staff members also expressed their opinions, but none of them had a feasible strategy.
Gao Huan heard them discussing and was alert to his heart that with the current strength of the military government, he must not offend the two major forces at the same time, and should not rush forward.
This time, the military government fell into a passive position, and faced two enemies at the same time and wiped out bandits. It was originally a matter of the Ming Dynasty and Wang Qiaonian, but he wanted to carry out land reform and realize resource redistribution, but now he assumed the main responsibility of resisting Li Zicheng.
This made Gao Huan fall into reflection.
At this time, everyone was talking for a while, and Gao Huan suddenly interrupted everyone's discussion loudly, "I want to make peace with Li Zicheng, but I don't know if Li Zicheng will give me this opportunity!"
In the hall, everyone was stunned when they heard the words. The military government repeatedly ruined Li Zicheng's good things. After Li Zicheng beat Nanyang, he came over to seek revenge in a fierce manner.
Now that the revenge has not been avenged, can Li Zicheng swallow this anger?
However, if you want to save your territory and return to the four counties, then Li Zicheng's withdrawal from Xiangcheng is an important prerequisite.
The military government could not have fought with Li Zicheng and fought with the army sent by Wang Qiaonian.
So now there are only two ways to withdraw Li Zicheng, one is to repel Li Zicheng, and the other is to discuss peace with Li Zicheng.
If so, the military government had the strength to repel Li Zicheng, Gao Huan would not have to rely on the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, we can only try to negotiate peace now.
Li Yan thought about the possibility of peace talks and said in a deep voice: "Li Zicheng wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. The military government was to protect the people of Henan. There was no fundamental conflict between us and Li Zicheng in terms of goals and interests. However, the previous few grudges were too deep, and Wang Qiaonian took advantage of others' danger. Li Zicheng probably wouldn't give up this opportunity even more!"
Gao Huan fell into deep thought. If he was Li Zicheng, he would definitely not give him a chance, so he naturally chose to take your life while you were sick.
However, it is not completely impossible to negotiate peace with Li Zicheng.
After all, Gao Huan is going to develop now and does not want to fight to the death with Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng wants to strengthen his strength and overthrow the Ming Dynasty, so there is no need to bite him.
Then as long as Li Zicheng knows that he can't kill his life or simply beat Li Zicheng, there will be a chance to let Li Zicheng negotiate calmly.
Thinking of this, Gao Huan asked Li Yan: "Have the money and grain from the four counties been transferred?"
Li Yan said: "The military government, in accordance with the worst plan, concentrated its money and grain in Dengfeng County!"
Gao Huan swelled his cheeks and said in a deep voice: "Okay! Transfer money and grain to Dengfeng, then Xinzheng can temporarily let Liu Zehan enter to numb Wang Qiaonian, delay time, and turn against Wang Qiaonian immediately!"
Gao Huan is now the general of the Ming Dynasty after all, so he temporarily compromises, so Wang Qiaonian cannot send troops to attack him directly.
Now we can only delay Wang Qiaonian first and resolve the conflict with Li Zicheng first.
At this time, Gao Huan glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice: "We must not reveal what happened today. We can only say that reinforcements are coming from Kaifeng. We cannot say that the old nest is occupied, so as not to affect the morale of the army, and we must not let the thieves know about it."
The generals knew that the situation was serious and bowed and clasped their fists, "I understand the humble duty!"
Gao Huan then turned his eyes to Song Xiance and said in a deep voice: "Military advisor, I hope you can leave the city and meet Li Zicheng and release the intention of this governor's peace talks. If Li Zicheng is willing to discuss peace, it's best, but if he is unwilling, he must take the initiative to attack and fight him and let him retreat with difficulty!"
Song Xiance felt a little nervous when he heard this, but he still stood up and bowed, "Okay! I'll go and meet Li Zicheng for a while!"
Chapter completed!
