Eight hundred and eighty-eighth chapter forced surrender

Gao Yigong said: "Not necessarily. If the war really starts, why did Wu Zheng send someone to contact us in advance? Wouldn't it be better to launch a surprise attack by surprise?"

Li Jiaodao: "That doesn't mean anything? Maybe it's just a suspicion of military tactics and wants us to relax our vigilance."

Gao Yigong shook his head and said, "No need. You and I have heard of Wu Zheng's achievements in the past four years. His army is almost invincible and invincible... If we really want to start a war, we may not have a chance of victory..."

"Don't be more ambitious and destroy your own prestige!" Li Guo shouted loudly, "The soldiers come and the generals come and the water comes and the soil comes. Our Zhongzhen Camp is not made of paper. How many bad battles have been fought in the past four years? Even the Qing army can't do anything to us. Are you still afraid that he is just 30,000 people?"

"But the Qing army can't do anything to Wu Zheng." Gao Yigong said leisurely, "And after Wu Zheng recovered the Thirteenth Prefectures, the Qing army could not do anything to him. But we have been defeated in the past four years, and the territory under our jurisdiction has been shrinking. Now the Qing army has entered Hubei and is about to encircle."

Li Guo was repeatedly questioned by Gao Yigong and couldn't help but be furious, "You must have suffered any benefits from Wu Zheng before you came to talk to Wu Zheng, right?"

Gao Yigong was also angry and pointed at Li Jiaodao, "Even if I talk to Wu Zheng, it would be better than if you want to surrender to the Qing Dynasty."

The two of them were about to start arguing.

Gao Guiying scolded: "What are you quarreling? Is it all a family, and I have to have sex with my family?"

Li Guo and Gao Yigong both groaned and sat back.

Gao Guiying pointed at Li Jiao and said, "He is your uncle at least, so you can't understand some etiquette?"

He pointed at Gao Yigong again and said, "Are you a uncle who is so embarrassed to be skeptical about your nephew?"

Hearing that the two of them stopped talking, Gao Guiying said: "It's all for the way out of the Zhongzhen Camp. It's better to say anything than keep it in your heart... In this way, you won't make a conclusion in advance. When Wu Zheng arrives at Huanggang, you can hear what he can say before making a decision."

....

Huanggang, there is a restaurant where there is no shopkeeper or clerk.

Wu Zheng looked at the woman who was once the queen in front of him, but in fact, Gao Guiying was not outstanding in appearance.

This is not surprising. A widow from a poor family has reached such a high position after following Li Zicheng.

In history, this woman and Li Guo initially surrendered to the Qing army rather than cooperated with Longwu. Instead, Gao Yigong insisted on joining the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

Of course, after deciding to join the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty, this woman led Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others to continue to compete with the Qing army, which was remarkable. When the Qing army captured Maolu Mountain, Gao Guiying and Li Laiheng burned themselves together.

After Li Zicheng's death, the remnants of the Dashun Army had two parts: east and west.

All the way, leaders such as Hao Yaoqi, Liu Tichun, and Ma Jinzhong were followed.

Another route is led by Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo (Li Jin) and his younger brother Gao Yigong (Gao Guiying's younger brother).

The total number of troops in these two parts is about 400,000 to 500,000, and they are heading towards the Jingxiang area of ​​Huguang.

As the two armies suddenly lost their commander and faced a steep situation, the Qing army was pursued in the north and the He Tengjiao official army, who guarded Huguang in the west, was blocked by the Ming Dynasty.

So, after defeating the Ming army for a time, Hao Yaoqi and Li Jin decided to join forces with the Ming army to resist the Qing army together.

Unfortunately, after the defeat in the attack on Hubei, the rebel army split, and some of them followed Hao Yaoqi, Liu Tichun, and Ma Jinzhong to Shu. Li Jin and Gao Yigong were stationed in the Jingxiang area of ​​Huguang, with the general name of Thirteen Towns, which is the famous thirteen army of Jingxiang in history.

While Wu Zheng was looking at Gao Guiying and the other two, the three were also looking at Wu Zheng.

However, there was obvious hostility in their eyes.

This is normal. Yixing's expedition to the west was no longer a secret at this time, so the army was stockpiled on the border of Huangzhou Prefecture.

However, there was still a hint of shock in their eyes.

Wu Zheng's reputation has been widely circulated in the past four years. It is a legend in itself to be able to use a corner of Shaoxing Prefecture to a county prince of a different surname in the Yixing Dynasty who owns the thirteen prefectures.

But the three of them were still shocked by Wu Zheng's youth. Yes, they were just as old as the princes. This was not Zu Yin, but the great fame that was created by their own abilities.

"I wonder what the purpose is for the Prince of Kuaiji to invite us to meet this time?"

"When the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, and foreign tribes invaded, Mrs. Zhenyi was able to lead the Zhongzhen Camp to fight against the Qing army for four years. This king admired her in his heart."

Wu Zheng's show of kindness made Gao Guiying and Gao Yigong on the side, and Li Guo's face slowed down a lot, at least not so tense.

Li Guo said in a deep voice: "Since the prince admires it, why do you still lead your army to Huangzhou? It is clearly a weasel who wishes the chicken a New Year."

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "If I am hostile to you, why did you bring only dozens of cavalry to the appointment?"

Li Guo was speechless for a moment.

Gao Guiying stopped Li Guo from speaking again, and then said to Wu Zheng: "The prince's power in eastern Zhejiang is as high as the sky, and I often hear that Zhongzhen Camp can fight against the Qing Dynasty for four years in Jingxiang, and the prince will also make a contribution. If the prince had not restrained the Qing army in eastern Zhejiang, we would have been unable to support it, and we would probably have to retreat westward."

Wu Zheng was a little surprised, Gao Guiying's words were beyond his expectations.

"Mrs. I'm so rude."

But Gao Gui's English tone changed, "But the prince led his army to the west this time. This move is probably a tacit understanding between you and me, right?"

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Why, do you think I am here to attack you?"

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not." Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "If you want to attack you, why should I go into danger in person?"

"What does the prince mean? You might as well say it clearly."

Wu Zheng said: "Incorporate!"

Incorporation? Wu Zheng's words made Gao Guiying and the other two shocked him and then burst into laughter.

Li Guo smiled and said, "I'm afraid the prince hasn't woken up? Although the Yixing Dynasty occupied half of Nanzhili and East Zhejiang, its military strength was only 100,000. Does the prince want to raise the Yixing Dynasty's troops and come out in full swing? Do you know how many people are in Zhongzhen Camp?"

Wu Zheng asked calmly: "How many people?"

"Thirty-hundred thousand!" Li Guo said sternly.

Wu Zheng looked up to the sky and said, "Three hundred thousand? General Li said that the number of people before the attack on Hubei three years ago? As far as I know, the maximum number of people in the Zhongzhen Camp will not exceed 120,000 at most."

Li Guo said angrily: "So what? 120,000 people are easy enough to knock you back."

"It may not be as General Li thought!" Wu Zheng said calmly.

"Then try it! Do you know that if you hadn't informed in advance, otherwise, the arrows and projectiles will be greeted now?" Li Guo suddenly stood up and pointed at Wu Zheng and said, "Take you down first, and then force your troops to withdraw!"

Wu Zheng looked at Li Guo coldly, then swept to Gao Guiying, Gao Yigong.

"Madam and General Gao are also thinking about each other?"

Gao Guiying just listened on the side, silent.
