Gao Wencai was a generous person, and he was grateful for Li Yan's act of exhortation. Seeing that Li Yan's family was in dire straits because of his suspicion, he immediately rushed forward regardless of his own safety.
He is a person with strong martial arts skills, and at this moment, his life is at stake, and he will immediately fight his way out.
Just when they broke out of the siege, another group of people surrounded them.
Li Yan knew that Niu Jinxing would not give up unless he died, so he asked Hong Niangzi and Gao Wencai to escape with their two children.
But the red lady ignored him at all, and went directly to greet him with the remaining generals.
When Li Yan saw this, he entrusted the child to Gao Wencai and Li San and burst into laughter.
Gao Wencai originally wanted to give it a try, but seeing all the generals dying in battle, he knew that if he continued to delay, he might not even be able to save Li Yan's flesh and blood.
So he endured his grief and fought out of the siege with Li San.
Gao Wencai originally wanted to take Li San and others to Jinyiwei's liaison station, but because Niu Jinxing's people were chasing him and Li San was there, he was afraid of causing trouble afterwards, so he gave up the idea and only took Running around with the child.
Fortunately, many of Li Yan's old subordinates helped secretly in times of crisis, and Gao Wencai relied on Jin Yiwei's information to save them from danger several times.
But because Niu Jinxing and Tian Jianxiu had taken control of Xi'an, he and Li San tried their best, but still could not escape Niu Jinxing's pursuit. In the end, Li San and the two children died one after another.
Although Gao Wencai was exhausted physically and mentally at this moment, the guilt and anger in his heart filled him with fighting spirit.
After getting rid of the pursuit, he immediately rushed to the communication station, preparing to assassinate Niu Jinxing through Jinyiwei's channels.
But when he arrived at the contact station, he found that it had been destroyed.
In panic, he ran through all the contact stations but could not find anyone.
While he was looking around, he accidentally met a non-staff person.
The other party told him that Wu Mengming had sent people to rescue him after receiving his letter for help, but it was a pity that it was too late.
Worried about his safety, Wu Mengming sent people to search again. Unexpectedly, it led to Niu Jinxing's encirclement and suppression, and the entire Jinyiwei army in Xi'an City was wiped out.
After Gao Wencai learned about this, he could no longer control the anger in his heart. He sneaked into Niu Jinxing's mansion that night, preparing to die with him.
But what surprised him was that the Niu Mansion, which was originally heavily guarded, was very lax when he sneaked in.
He was suspicious and worried that it was Niu Jinxing's trick, so he hid in Niu Mansion and observed the situation secretly.
About half an hour later, Niu Mansion's defense returned to normal, and then he saw Niu Jinxing capture and kill many of his guards.
Upon seeing this, Gao Wencai felt that something was wrong, so he quietly sneaked into the place where Niu Jinxing kept his guards and rescued one of the leaders.
At first, the man was very wary of Gao Wencai, but when he told the man that he was Li San, Li Yan's bodyguard, and that he was also here to assassinate Niu Jinxing tonight, the man gradually let down his guard.
As the conversation progressed, the man told Gao Wencai that because they had been favored by Li Yan in the past, and now that Li Yan died innocently and in vain, they felt aggrieved, so they planned to assassinate Niu Jinxing tonight to avenge Li Yan.
Just because they acted in a hurry, Niu Jinxing discovered the flaw, causing the operation to fail.
Seeing that Gao Wencai was discouraged, the man told him that there was a group of brothers hiding in the dark who would take action soon, and took the initiative to invite him to participate in the operation.
Gao Wencaiben had doubts about this matter. When he saw the other party's initiative, he agreed so that he could investigate in secret.
Then he followed the man to the secret stronghold, preparing to assassinate Niu Jinxing.
After only getting along for a few days, Gao Wencai didn't notice anything unusual. Just when he thought he was being suspicious, he discovered that the man had secretly entered the palace on the eve of his action.
When Gao Wencai saw this, he knew it was a conspiracy.
So after he came out of the palace, he made an appointment with the man to a secret place and tortured him on the pretext that he had something important to discuss.
Unexpectedly, that man was also a hard-nosed person. He insisted that he was wrong and refused to admit it.
Later, he really couldn't bear the torture, so he took advantage of him when he was not prepared.
All done.
Shortly afterwards, Gao Wencai was hunted down again.
With no way to escape, he took the risk and hid in Niu Mansion. Unexpectedly, he unexpectedly gained a trace of peace.
At this time, Gao Wencai knew that he was a chess piece, but he didn't know who the chess player was.
So he used the information he had obtained from that person to sneak into the house of a personal guard, capture him and torture him to extract a confession.
This time he was not disappointed, but the results shocked him.
Because the man told him that they were spies sent to Niu Mansion by Li Zicheng and were ordered to monitor Niu Jinxing's every move.
They had previously reported Niu Jinxing's dealings with Li Yan, but for some reason, Li Yan was unprepared.
As for the last unexpected situation, it was not that they were planning to assassinate Niu Jinxing, but that they were creating opportunities for him.
When Gao Wencai heard about this, he was very angry.
After he dealt with the personal guard, he sneaked into the palace under his false name and prepared to assassinate Li Zicheng.
Unfortunately, not long after he entered the palace, his identity was discovered by Gao Yigong.
Fortunately, he was able to escape due to his strong martial arts skills and the size of the palace.
Later, he took the opportunity to poison one of Li Zicheng's personal eunuchs, forcing him to wait for him to see Li Zicheng.
In fact, Gao Wencai had been busy escaping for his life at that time, and there was no poison in his body. It was just some laxatives he found temporarily.
But the eunuch was frightened and hurriedly responded.
However, Gao Wencai did not take action this time, because he took advantage of the opportunity of waiting and accidentally overheard the conversation between Li Zicheng and Gao Yigong, and knew that Li Yan's death was just a game.
Because Li Yan wanted to use his own death to make everyone believe that the rebels were really in civil strife.
It turned out that after Li Zicheng returned to Shaanxi from Shanxi, he had accepted Li Yan's suggestion and decided to rectify his internal affairs and recuperate.
At the same time, he contacted Zhang Xianzhong who had entered Sichuan and asked him to send troops to attack Wuchang and contain Zuo Liangyu.
Zhang Xianzhong was unwilling at first, but Ma Shouying persuaded him.
However, Ma Shouying died of illness soon after, and the alliance between the two parties became an empty talk.
Upon seeing this, Li Zicheng knew that it would be difficult to counterattack for a while, so he concentrated on handling internal affairs.
Unexpectedly, the Jurchens suddenly invaded south, and Li Zicheng thought of sending troops again.
Just at this time, Hao Yaoqi and others returned, Niu Jinxing was ready to make a move, and the situation in Xi'an became even more turbulent.
So Li Yan proposed to use the plan to draw Chongzhen into the game on the grounds of internal fighting between Li Guo and Gao Yigong.
The original plan went very smoothly, but unexpectedly, at the same time as they attacked Dajiang, Jierhalang suddenly appeared in Yulin, and Li Zicheng was also assassinated.
In desperation, Li Yan had to lead his army to withdraw.
Just when he and Li Zicheng were discussing the next plan, they suddenly learned that Niu Quan had falsely conveyed the imperial edict and had released Jierharang into the customs.
Li Zicheng was immediately furious and wanted to kill Niu Jinxing immediately, but was dissuaded by Li Yan.
Because Li Yan felt that if Niu Jinxing was dealt with, Tian Jianxiu might rebel, and Shaanxi would be in chaos. If Gong Yonggu, Zuo Liangyu and others took advantage of the situation to attack, Dashun would be in danger of being destroyed.
So he suggested that Li Zicheng continue to pretend to be recovering from his injuries, paralyze Niu Jinxing, Chongzhen and others, and pretend to be fleeing south, leading the Ming soldiers to attack Shaanxi.
It's just that although Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie have fallen into the trap, Gong Yonggu has yet to take action.
Li Yan was worried that Chongzhen would see through his conspiracy. Coupled with the high position of Niu and Venus, his sudden elimination might cause chaos.
Therefore, he proposed to lure Niu Jinxing to attack him, and then use this as an excuse to kill Niu Jinxing and lure Gong Yonggu into the game.
Li Zicheng was still hesitant, but Li Yan said that he had settled everything and would not make any mistakes, so Li Zicheng reluctantly agreed.
What surprised Li Zicheng was that Li Yan was killed by Niu Jinxing.
Just when Li Zicheng was hesitant, Gao Yigong sent Li Yan's secret letter.
Li Yan said in the letter that he accidentally fell into Niu Jinxing's trap and had no chance of survival.
In addition, Gong Yonggu has not taken any action, so Chongzhen should have doubts. He could only die to serve the country and postpone the crisis.
.
He then told Li Zicheng that after Li Yan learned of his death, he would definitely go to Ren Zhihua to discuss revenge.
Li Mou and Hao Yaoqi may also turn to Gong Yonggu under Li Yan's persuasion.
Coupled with the Jurchen invasion, Gong Yonggu would probably send his troops westward in order to avoid harming Shanxi.
Once Gong Yonggu enters Shaanxi, Li Guo's 50,000-strong army must immediately cut off its return route.
At the same time, let Liu Zongmin take his letter to persuade Li Mou and Hao Yaoqi. They will definitely turn against each other and help each other. When the Dashun army defeats Gong Yonggu, they can take advantage of it and seize the capital.
If Gong Yonggu still doesn't fall into the trap, he can make a fuss about Gao Wencai.
Because Gao Wencai knew that he was killed by Niu Jinxing, and Wu Mengming and others would also die at the hands of Niu Jinxing.
At that time, as long as Li Zicheng helps Gao Wencai get rid of Niu Jinxing, not only will the rebels be united, but the Ming soldiers will also be relieved of their suspicions due to Niu Jinxing's death.
In addition, he also told Li Zicheng that he had planted spies in the houses of Niu Jinxing and Tian Jianxiu. If the situation was crisis, the spies could get rid of Niu and Li and put the blame on the Ming soldiers.
Then there is Song Xiance...
Gao Wencai was hearing the critical moment, but he didn't expect that the eunuch showed his weakness due to panic, causing the guards to search everywhere.
In order to escape from the palace and Xi'an, he even disfigured himself and swallowed carbon to change his voice. After going through many hardships, he came to Linyi.
