Gao Yigong saw Gao Guiying's expression was wrong, and said worriedly: "Sister... Queen, but Zehou is unwilling to send troops?"
Gao Guiying glared at him and said, "He dares!"
"I went to see him just now, but he resisted, but I said directly that if he didn't dare to lead the army, give me the military talisman and I would go on an expedition. He was so frightened that he quickly confessed."
"I was worried that he would act cunning again. I would keep an eye on him until he left the city before coming back."
Gao Yigong heard this and said with some confusion: "Since Zehou has left the city, why are you still looking so solemn?"
Gao Guiying said solemnly: "I just came back from the palace and overheard someone talking about Guo Sheng's defeat..."
"How could Guo Sheng's story spread?"
Gao Yigong interrupted Gao Guiying silently, and then looked at Li Zicheng with some worry: "Is this also Zuo Xianmei's trick?"
Gao Guiying heard this and asked doubtfully: "Who is Zuo Xianmei?"
When Gao Yigong saw that Li Zicheng did not answer, he explained: "Zuo Xianmei is the daughter of Zuo Liangyu. I heard that this woman is young but very talented. Many of Zuo Liangyu's staff were recruited by her." of......"
Gao Guiying listened to Gao Yigong's story and said with some surprise: "I didn't expect that Zuo Liangyu, a martial artist, would give birth to such a powerful daughter. I underestimated him."
Hearing this, Gao Yigong said: "Queen, you don't have to worry. Guo Sheng was blocked from attacking Huai'an. He divided his troops to disperse the Ming soldiers. After defeating each one, we can join forces to attack Huai'an. It will not affect the overall situation."
Gao Guiying frowned and said: "What division of troops? Guo Sheng has been defeated. I heard that his head has been..."
"What, Guo Sheng was killed, this is impossible!"
Gao Yigong lost his voice and exclaimed: "Guo Sheng was unstoppable all the way before, and the Song military advisor also said that there was no army capable of fighting in the south of the Yangtze River. How could he be killed?"
"If Guo Sheng was really killed, we should be the first to get the news. How could it be possible that everyone knows about it, but we didn't get the news? I'm afraid this is just a rumor!"
Gao Guiying shook his head and said: "It's not like the rumors. People said that after Guo Sheng divided his troops, he had already captured some cities near Huai'an. He didn't want to be defeated by a vassal king named Tang from the Ming Dynasty. Later, he was beheaded by a young general. kill."
"The time and place are clearly stated, and there are noses and eyes. How could it be a rumor?"
"I'm worried that someone is deliberately publicizing this matter to lower our morale. If this matter is really done by Zuo Xianmei as you said, I'm afraid this woman is not simple. We..."
After listening to Gao Guiying's story, Gao Yigong still didn't believe it.
At this time, one of Li Zicheng's personal guards came in and respectfully handed over a secret letter.
Li Zicheng opened the letter and took a look, his expression suddenly changed.
Gao Yigong saw this and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, what happened?"
Li Zicheng sighed: "Guo Sheng is dead!"
"What, Guo Sheng is really dead?"
Gao Yigong still said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Guo Sheng is only near Huai'an, how could he be defeated by the Ming soldiers?"
"You must know that the soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty are not good at land warfare. In addition, the soldiers and horses near Nanjing have all gone north to King Qin. Even if the soldiers and horses in Jiangsu and Zhejiang go north, they can't be so fast!"
Li Zicheng shook his head and said: "It's not the soldiers from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the former Tang King Zhu Yujian. After hearing that he was released by Chongzhen, he immediately recruited three thousand people to go north."
"Guo Sheng had already divided his troops at that time. Unexpectedly, he happened to bump into him. The two of them had a big battle. There was no winner or loser. Who would have thought that Xia Wanchun would also come with his troops at this time."
"Guo Shengli was defeated in the battle. He was about to retreat, but he was ambushed by Ma Shiying..."
Hearing this, Gao Yigong said with an angry face: "This must be Zuo Xianmei's fault, otherwise how could Zhu Yujian meet Guo Sheng by such a coincidence, and how could Xia Wanchun and Ma Shiying come here by such a coincidence... ....”
Seeing Gao Yigong's words, Gao Guiying couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she thought of Guo Sheng's wasted death.
When Li Zicheng saw this, he was worried that Gao Yigong would be so angry that he might ruin something big, so he said in a deep voice: "Yigong, we will definitely avenge Guo Sheng, but the top priority is to put Zuo Liangyu and others in a urn."
"Otherwise, once Chongzhen rushes from Linyi to Shanxi, our plan may be blocked."
Gao Yigong's body trembled slightly, and he immediately apologized to Li Zicheng.
Seeing this, Gao Guiying looked at the two of them in surprise.
Seeing that Gao Yigong had returned to normal, Li Zicheng nodded secretly in his heart.
But he didn't know that although Gao Yigong looked calm on the outside, he was still furious inside.
Especially when Gao Yigong thought that Zuo Xianmei must be very proud now, he wanted to skin him and cramp him immediately.
In fact, Gao Yigong was wrong, because at this moment, Zuo Xianmei was not only unhappy, but also very sad.
"Xianmei, this trip is too dangerous, and you are injured, so why not stay here and let Uncle Long help you take a trip!"
A middle-aged man about forty years old and dressed in smart clothes frowned and felt a little distressed when he saw that Zuo Xianmei had an injury on her left arm.
Hearing this, Zuo Xianmei smiled slightly at the middle-aged man and said, "Uncle Long, don't worry, Xianmei is fine!"
"And Li Chengdong is very cunning. If we can't get him to surrender this time, I'm afraid he won't have a chance in the future."
It turned out that after Zuo Xianmei separated from Zhu Yuanzhang that day, she knew that the other party would send people to follow him, so she went south honestly, and at the same time secretly sent people to investigate Zhu Yuanzhang's whereabouts.
When she learned that Zhu Yuanzhang had left, she immediately quietly returned to Liaocheng with Long Wu and twenty cavalry.
She originally wanted to take the opportunity to stir up trouble and disrupt Shandong, but unexpectedly, refugee riots suddenly broke out in Jinan and other places.
Zuo Xianmei felt something was wrong, so she used a secret agent lurking in the Jinyi Guards to investigate and accidentally intercepted a letter written by Xie Bi to Gao Jie.
After reading the letter, she immediately understood the whole story, so she followed the trend and sent Cao Hu to poison Ma Chongxi, hoping to destabilize Li Chengdong's army.
Unexpectedly, Li Chengdong was also a fierce man. He actually spent a night in the surrender and stabilized the morale of the army.
After this incident, Zuo Xianmei felt that Li Chengdong was also a talented person, so she decided to help Li Chengdong put down the rebellion first, and then take the opportunity to recruit him under her command.
So she first asked spies to intercept the letters between Xie Bi and Gao Jie, leaving Xie Bi in an isolated and helpless situation.
Then when Li Chengdong attacked Dezhou, he created chaos in the city and helped him capture Dezhou.
Finally, when Li Chengdong captured Xie Bi, she let the spy take the opportunity to kill Xie Bi.
When Li Chengdong saw this, he knew that he had fallen into someone else's plan, and he was panicked.
At this time, Zuo Xianmei came forward to persuade him to surrender and told the previous events one by one.
In order to suppress Li Chengdong, she even took the risk to tell him some secret things.
After Li Chengdong was surprised, he also agreed.
Later, in order to show his loyalty, Li Chengdong led his army back to Dezhou and killed Xie Sheng's entire family.
Seeing this, Zuo Xianmei also used her connections to recruit many surrender troops for Li Chengdong. 33
But what Zuo Xianmei didn't expect was that after Li Chengdong stabilized the situation, not only did he fail to fulfill his promise, but he sent someone to sneak attack her.
And because of her carelessness, not only did she lose a lot of eyeliner, but she was also injured.
Later, she found out that Li Chengdong's rebellion was actually instigated by a concubine. She was so angry that she decided to take risks, sneak into Li Chengdong's mansion, and force Li Chengdong to surrender at the expense of his concubine's life.
Some people died, but not completely...
