Things that money can solve do not necessarily have to fight to the death.

Lu Si is a trustworthy person. Although he is short of money now, if the investment of 200,000 taels can revitalize the overall situation in Huaiyang, he would never blink.

However, 200,000 taels of silver and 1,000 stones of grain cannot be transported to Huaian City for delivery, so the delivery location decided by both parties was Yazhuang west of Baoying, which is not far from Hongze Lake.

The silver was transported directly from Baoying City. After the Huai Army destroyed Baoying, all the officials and gentry in the city were killed, and the plundering was huge.

On the ninth day of the third month, Gao Qifeng, who came riding a mule from Yancheng County, crossed the canal with the bloody gold and silver goods. The one who went to deliver the help was Li Si, the assistant who was assigned to his nephew Guangyuan, who was a surrendered soldier.

Guangyuan heard that the old uncle actually resigned by exchanging the military for the government troops who exchanged money and food for the dog-dollar Linhuai soldiers, and he had to establish a relationship with the dog-dollar Linhuai soldiers. That was impossible to figure it out.

With his uncle's temperament, can he do this?

My uncle, who has always been silly, suddenly did such shameless things yesterday?

"Young Governor can't think that way. The way to use troops is not to be ignorant of force. Attacking the heart is the best, and fighting is the best. If you only use something outside of your body, you can split the opponent, so that our army can divide and annihilate it..."

Gao Qifeng patiently explained the significance of this move to the young governor who had just learned fifty words, emphasizing that the disintegration of the Ming Dynasty coalition would play a decisive role in the rescue of Huai'an.

The first time I heard someone call me "Young Governor". Guangyuan was really not used to it. He called me Gao directly, but Eunuch Gao was very polite and dared not call me the Young Governor's name directly.

Guangyuan had no choice but to go there, and he felt so beautiful, because the young governor sounded very majestic.

"That's the reason... 200,000 taels are too much, right?"

Guangyuan felt really distressed. Uncle had only 200,000 taels of trouble, but he was very costly. He thought that his nephew had been in Baoying City for more than three months, and the whole army had only 10,000 taels of food and food. Now he didn't do anything and gave him 200,000 taels for nothing. This money was enough for him to stay for another two years. The business was too much of a loss, and it was not worth it no matter how you thought about it.

Li Si shook his head and said, "Young Governor, these 200,000 taels are not too much. Zhang Xianzhong paid Zuo Liangyu a huge amount of one tens of thousands of taels at one time."

"How do you know?" Guangyuan wondered.

Li Si smiled: "Young Governor, don't forget that his subordinates were originally soldiers from the left."

Gao Qifeng also knew about this. Zhang Xianzhong was defeated by Zuo Liangyu at Guping Pass, but he had no choice but to lead his troops to break into Sichuan. However, on the way to Sichuan, he was attacked by Zheng Chongjian and Zuo Liangyu in Taiping County, with heavy casualties. Then he was pursued and intercepted by Huguang Army, Sichuan Army and Shaanxi Army. He was hit hard and finally surrounded by Zuo Liangyu, which can be said to be at the end of his life.

However, the cunning Zhang Xianzhong ordered people to give all the gold, silver and treasures worth one million taels that had been looted over the years to Zuo Liangyu, and there were even several treasures he dug from the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum.

He also told Zuo Liangyu that your military discipline is too bad, and that he is not even as good as a bandit. It is just because the court now expects you, Zuo Liangyu, tolerate you. But if I, Zhang Xianzhong, die, will the court let you go of those bastards you, Zuo Liangyu, do?

Zuo Liangyu thought it was right. Not long ago, the imperial court had just given another powerful general to suppress the bandits, Zu Kuan, to the formation because Zu Kuan's military discipline was too bad, so he deliberately accepted the wealth and gave it a way out for Zhang Xianzhong.

What Lu Si is doing now is the same as Zhang Xianzhong. If he can't beat others, he will give money to buy a way. There is nothing to be ashamed of.

Guangyuan was either unreasonable or had a little "small peasant" idea. His old uncle was not as big as his, and he said in a muffled voice: "Two hundred thousand taels are too much, I can't bear to let it go. Let's do this. Anyway, the person named Xu has withdrawn from Huai'an, so let's give him less, 100 thousand taels... I don't know if he dares to say anything. If he doesn't agree, come and settle the score with me!"

"Young Governor, this is impossible!"

Gao Qifeng was shocked when he said this. He really wanted to bring 100,000 taels to see Xu Dasui. That guy might be able to drag him out and chop him up and feed him to the dog.

Li Si also quickly advised the young governor Mo Hu to let him know that if he really wants to do this, who will still believe in the governor in the future and who will still believe in the Huai Army?

"Okay, I'll just talk casually. I'll go write. You can do this."

Guangyuan also said a complaint. This was decided by his uncle. How dare he, a nephew, not listen to his uncle's words or act nonsense.

In addition to the coachman who escorted the silver and grain, Gao and Li, they brought 500 soldiers. After crossing the canal, the team rushed to Yazhuang without stopping. After about fifty miles, Linhuai soldiers who were anxious came to pick him up.

"Eunuch Gao!"

Seeing the long convoy behind Gao Qifeng, Xu Dasui was relieved after a few days. If the Huai Army had impropered him, he would have really lost his wife and his troops.

Although they confirmed with the generals in advance and made strict arrangements, they couldn't stop it even if they really "mutated". Finally, they went to the meeting place to calculate the number of people, and they lost more than two thousand. In addition, they felt distressed and could only comfort themselves with less money.

Just like the two brothers who have not seen each other for a long time, Gao Qifeng and Xu Dasui stepped forward at the same time, staring at each other for a long time, and finally smiled knowingly.

"I heard that my father-in-law and Li Qifeng were called to the thief to be kidnapped. I feel so sad..."

While speaking, Xu Dasui picked up a black silver ingot and bit it. A tooth mark appeared on the silver ingot. Yes, it was soft, nothing else was added. There was lead or something to bite the teeth. The black one was because the silver might be buried in the cellar.

"Oh, that matter is a long story. Fortunately, Governor Lu is pretty good to me, General Li, Vice General Hu..." Gao Qifeng said a few simple words.

"It's not easy, you can't do it, I can't do it either,"

Xu Dasui pointed to the soldiers under his hands with some sadness, "If it weren't for their food, I wouldn't have done this sorry court thing, no matter what I said."

After testing gold and silver, and then testing the number, the laughter and joy of both sides naturally increased. Xu Dasui enthusiastically invited the Huai army and his party to have dinner at Yazhuang. A few days ago, his soldiers snatched all the nearby villages, and there were many ducks and geese in the camp.

After drinking and eating, Xu Dasui personally sent Gao Qifeng back to the east.

Before leaving, Gao Qifeng looked at Xu Dasui affectionately and whispered: "Governor Lu asked me to tell the general that if you really can't make it through the Ming Dynasty, go to his side. I can't guarantee anything else. It's okay to have a stable place to sleep and have a full meal. No matter what, it's better than letting the people curse themselves." When he said this, a team of Xu's subordinates rushed over to the river with the stolen pigs and sheep.

Xu Dasui was a little embarrassed and looked around, "Dadfather-in-law, do you think our Ming Dynasty is really going to perish?"

Gao Qifeng was a little surprised: "Don't you know?"

"What do you know?"

Xu Dasui was a little stunned.

"Li Zicheng has already reached the capital."
