After Li Zicheng asked the eunuch to bring Gao Yigong in, he sat upright and looked confident.
But he didn't expect that in addition to Gao Yigong, there would also be Gao Guiying, and he felt guilty immediately.
However, when Li Zicheng saw Gao Guiying coming in, he was very polite and very different from before, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
After Gao Yigong saluted, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to send Marquis Mian back to Shaanxi, but Marquis Mian has already entered Sichuan and is confronting Zhang Xianzhong's people."
"He was worried that the retreat of the army would increase the opponent's momentum, so he only asked Song's military advisor to bring 30,000 people back to protect the capital. Now Song's military advisor is blocking Gao Jie's troops in the Shangluo area."
When Li Zicheng heard this, he said with an angry look on his face: "What, that bitch Gao Jie dared to hit Shangluo? You immediately pass my order to Song Xiance to capture Gao Jie alive and punish him..."
"Your Majesty, please put the overall situation first!"
Gao Yigong saw that Li Zicheng was really angry and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, then slapped the case hard.
Gao Guiying on the side saw this and advised: "Your Majesty, Chang'an is just a chess piece for the Ming soldiers to fight among themselves, so why should you be angry."
"For the current plan, we still have to retreat south as soon as possible and capture Sichuan before Zhang Xianzhong, so that we can be invincible."
Li Zicheng said with some reluctance: "No, I can escape, but I can't be defeated by a piece of shit like Gao Jie. I must..."
"Your Majesty, I know that you hate Gao Jie very much, but for the sake of the overall situation, please be patient for the time being, otherwise, Li Yan and the Red Lady will die in vain."
Seeing that Li Zicheng refused to give up, Gao Guiying knelt down to persuade him.
Li Zicheng was stunned for a moment, and then he was about to step forward to help Gao Guiying, but suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Gao Yigong on the side also hurriedly knelt down and persuaded: "Your Majesty, Gao Jie is just a clown, you don't need to be familiar with him."
"As the Queen said, as long as we occupy Sichuan, we can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. After Gao Jie and Zuo Liangyu are both injured, we are afraid that we will not be able to deal with Gao Jie!"
Li Zicheng glanced at the two of them, was silent for a while, and then motioned for them to get up.
Then he said helplessly: "It's not because I'm motivated, it's just because Li Mou is still in Mizhi, and Hao Yaoqi led his army north again."
"They are all my old brothers, and most of the more than 60,000 people they have are from the Eighth Battalion. I can't leave these old brothers alone!"
Hearing this, Gao Guiying pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I think that even if we have to fight, we should fight Wang Yuncheng."
"First of all, he is coming with great force and is not far from Chang'an. Furthermore, if we don't force him back, Brother Li Mou and the others may also be hindered when they come back."
Li Zicheng sighed: "Why don't I want to fight Wang Yuncheng, but now that I have no soldiers, what can I use to fight him?"
"If I have soldiers, I will definitely teach him a lesson. It is best to anger Zuo Liangyu and ask him to send more troops to Shaanxi. Then he will be defeated by Gao Jie and the Jurchens."
Gao Guiying frowned and said, "Why are there no soldiers? Doesn't Tian Jianxiu still have more than 20,000 people in his hands?"
Li Zicheng shook his head and said: "Tian Jianxiu is currently preparing for the defense of Chang'an, and he can't allocate manpower for the moment."
Hearing this, Gao Guiying said with a dissatisfied look on his face: "Chang'an is an abandoned city, what is there to defend?"
"Although Wang Yuncheng said he had 50,000 men, they were just a mob. We only need to send 10,000 troops to repel them..."
Gao Yigong, who was on the side, saw Li Zicheng's troubled expression and said, "Queen, Zehou is currently at war with Niu Jinxing. If Zehou is allowed to go on an expedition at this moment, it will easily make Niu Jinxing suspicious, and Zehou may not ..."
"You turned against them!"
Gao Guiying loudly interrupted Gao Yigong's words, then glared at him dissatisfied, and angrily said: "Doesn't Tian Jianxiu dare to disobey orders if he is not a minister of Dashun?"
"If he really dares to disobey orders, then he will not be allowed to stay. You must know that Your Majesty could make him Zehou in the first place, and you can also depose him now."
"As for Niu Jinxing, so what if he is suspicious? Does he dare to rebel?"
"Actually, in my opinion, even if Niu Jinxing cannot be killed, we should give him a good beating. You must know that he killed brother Li Yan. If we do nothing, he will become suspicious easily..."
As she spoke, seeing that both Li Zicheng and Gao Yigong were silent, she looked at Li Zicheng angrily and said: "Your Majesty, if it is not convenient for you to come forward, let me, the queen, do it. I don't believe that he can't be cured... ."
After Gao Guiying said that, regardless of whether Li Zicheng agreed or not, he turned around and walked out.
When Gao Yigong saw Gao Guiying leave in anger, he was afraid that she would cause trouble, so he was about to chase her, but was stopped by Li Zicheng.
Li Zicheng was silent for a while and said: "Yigong, your sister may be right. We gave in too much to Niu Jinxing before, which made him suspicious. It's better to let your sister make a fuss."
Gao Yigong heard this and said with some worry: "Your Majesty, if Gao Yigong really defeats Wang Yuncheng and Zuo Liangyu retreats, wouldn't our plan fail?"
Li Zicheng shook his head and said: "No, Tian Jianxiu is not a decisive person, otherwise I would not have left him in Chang'an before."
"Now that he sees that my power is over, he will not use any force. The most he can do is force Wang Yuncheng to retreat."
"Furthermore, I have received news that there have been disagreements within the Jurchens. Dorgon does not support Jierhalang's move south. Zuo Liangyu should have also received this news. I believe he will invade in a large scale soon."
Gao Yigong said in surprise: "Your Majesty, how do you know the internal affairs of the Jurchens?"
Li Zicheng's eyes flashed with amusement, and he said with a smile: "Do you think I have been embroidering in the palace for more than a month? Actually... By the way, there is still no movement from Gong Yonggu in Datong?"
Gao Yigong shook his head and said: "Not yet, but he has a good reputation and shouldn't be able to resist for long!"
Li Zicheng nodded and said: "Okay, you should hurry up and make sure the Ming soldiers are in civil strife... By the way, how is your arrest of Gao Wencai going?"
Gao Yigong heard this and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, forgive me, the general has not caught Gao Wencai yet!"
"But I have sent people to guard the city gates of Chang'an. Even if he has wings, he will never be able to escape Chang'an!"
Li Zicheng nodded and said: "Okay, you must pay close attention to this matter, and Wu Mengming's death must also be kept secret. If people in Chongzhen learn about this, they may become suspicious."
After Gao Yigong agreed, he hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, do we need to tell Military Advisor Song about our plan?"
Li Zicheng looked at Gao Yigong in surprise and said, "Why, but what's wrong with him?"
Gao Yigong said: "I can't say, but the general received news that there was something wrong with Guo Sheng. The Song military advisor was previously responsible for this matter. The general was worried that the Song military advisor did not know about it and conveyed the wrong news... ....”
After listening to Gao Yigong's story, Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "I have also heard about this matter. It is not Song Xiance's problem. It seems that Zuo Xianmei, the daughter of Zuo Liangyu, was the troublemaker."
When Gao Yigong heard this, he suddenly felt that Li Zicheng was a little mysterious and couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
When Li Zicheng saw this, he pretended not to know and discussed some details of the plan with him.
About two hours later, Gao Yigong saw that Gao Guiying had not returned yet. When he was hesitating whether to ask for an order to check, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the palace, and then saw Gao Guiying walking in with a solemn face.
Some people died, but not completely...
