Chapter 79
Brother Gao and Zhao Zhuzi returned to Luyi County. The residents of the city no longer regarded the captain as a rogue, but loved the leader of the rogue very much.

This is after Gao Yihuan settled in Luyi, restored people's livelihood, built water conservancy, recruited refugees to cultivate, gave civilians land, and controlled the spread of the epidemic. After many efforts, he was recognized by the military and civilians.

At this time, Gao Yihuan and a few others were riding slowly on horses and mules. The streets were full of traffic. The road was paved with red bricks, which was very smooth. Rows of red brick houses were under construction and rising from the ground on both sides.

Most of these red brick houses will be distributed to residents in the city, and the shops along the street will be leased to merchants, who will then be charged monthly rent.

"If the second brother hadn't made this kind of red bricks, we'd still be living in thatched cottages." Zhao Zhuzi rode on the mule, feeling proud from the bottom of his heart, as if he fired the bricks.

Almost all of Gao Yihuan's old brothers, like Zhao Zhuzi, are happy to show off the deeds of the second brother Gao, and they admire the second brother Gao very much.

Gao Yihuan smiled slightly, and rode his horse straight to the county government office. Along the way, the residents in the city gave way to Gao Yihuan.

In front of the county government office, Zhao Daxian saw Gao Yihuan, he rushed up to greet him, and helped Gao Yihuan hold the rein, "Second Brother, I'll wait for you."

Gao Yihuan got off his horse, threw the whip to Zhao Zhuzi, and asked, "Where's the man?"

"Wait inside."

Gao Yihuan heard the words, and then strode towards the Yamen. After a while, he walked into the lobby and saw a messenger sitting inside.

"Captain Gao, I am here to inform Captain Gao under the order of General Zhao. Before October [-], I will go to Chenzhou to meet up and prepare to help King Chuang in the battle." Gao Yihuan, seeing Gao Yihuan coming in, hurriedly got up and clasped his fists.

"It's Brother Qian!" Gao Yihuan saw who was coming, walked in with a big smile, first patted Qian Zhanglv's arm, and then asked, "Is this an order from General Zhao, or an order from above?"

"Captain Gao, this is a military order from the Zhongquan Battalion, probably an order from King Chuang." Qian Zhanglu hastily explained.

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, but he did not immediately accept the order. Zhao Yingyuan is Li Zicheng's general, and Li Zicheng has an order. He must go, and he must go out, otherwise there will be political problems.

Gao Yihuan must also obey orders, but Li Zicheng will not notice people of his level, he doesn't need to be as concerned as Zhao Yingyuan, as long as he has an attitude and sends troops, Gao Yihuan can pass the test politically.

"Brother Qian, since General Zhao has an order, I have nothing to say in Luyi City." Gao Yihuan paused, pretending to be hesitant, "However, our men and horses have just formed an army, and there is a shortage of equipment. Can you ask General Zhao to dispatch a batch of weapons? , armor and bows and arrows?"

Right now Luyi is on the right track, and the second brother is going to take the team out to practice. Since Zhao Yingyuan has the order, he must send troops, but he has to take the opportunity to get some equipment.

There is no charge for Chuangjun, so it is not too much for him to need some equipment.After all, he now has more than 3000 people, and the equipment he needs is not a small amount, and the amount he produces himself is pitifully small, unable to keep up with consumption.For example, when the sword is slashed several times, there will be a gap and it can no longer be used, so if he can ask for some, he will naturally ask for some.

Hearing Gao Yihuan's words, Qian Zhanglv clasped his fists in embarrassment and said, "I can't decide this matter, so I will tell the general when I go back."

"Then I thank Brother Qian." Gao Yihuan then laughed and waved his hands, and said like a big brother: "Da Xian, you go and make arrangements for someone to prepare a banquet in the Siping Building. I want to give you money." Brother accepts the wind. In addition, you go to Xinghao to pay 20 taels of silver and treat Brother Qian to drink tea."

Hearing this, Qian Zhanglu immediately became happy, "Captain Gao, how can you be so embarrassing?"

"They're all brothers from my own family. Brother Qian, you don't have to be polite." Elder Gao said proudly, "This is just a wish from my brother. We will move around more in the future, and my brother will not lose you."

After the two of them finished speaking, Gao Yihuan asked Zhao Daxian to take Qian Zhanglu to rest first, and Zhao Zhuzi looked at Qian Zhanglv going out, and said behind Gao Yihuan: "Second brother, let's really send troops to help Li Zicheng fight against the army. Is it?"

The soldiers and horses in Luyi got money and food from the second elder brother, and Li Zicheng didn’t pay them, so naturally he didn’t have much affection for Li Zicheng. In addition, Li Zicheng poured money into Bianliang, causing disasters in Henan, so Zhao Zhuzi and others were very disgusted. Li Zicheng.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Gao Yihuan didn't say anything good about Li Zicheng, and didn't mention making them loyal to Li Zicheng.

Gao Yihuan did not answer Zhao Zhuzi, but ordered in a deep voice: "Go, call all the old brothers over, I have something to tell you."

Not long after, in Gao Yihuan's festival hall, Zhao Daxian, Wu Shizhao, Jin Xiangang, three deputy captains, and more than a dozen brigades gathered together.

There is a simple sand table in the middle of the lobby. Based on Gao Yihuan's limited geographical knowledge and the map of the Ming Dynasty that he entrusted to the old man, the second brother Gao himself worked it out and played with mud for a whole day to form the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, there was a circle of people fighting around the sand table, all of them were wearing cotton armor and a net scarf on their heads, looking a bit regular.

Gao Yihuan pointed to the location of Jia County on the sand table and said: "Ten days ago, news came from Yicheng. After Sun Chuanting left the customs, he went all the way like a broken bamboo, regaining Luoyang and Runing, and beheading the family members of the Chuangjun old camp in Tang County. The county has defeated Li Zicheng."

Gao Yihuan looked up at everyone, and continued: "According to news, Li Zicheng's main force is now in Xiangcheng, and he has ordered all the troops to march westward to prepare for a decisive battle with Sun Chuanting. We are under Zhao Yingyuan's management, and Zhao Yingyuan has also received orders this time, so we We must also follow Zhao Yingyuan to the west."

It took Li Zicheng more than two years to escape from Shangluo Mountain. During this time, although he had grown to a million people, the number of real elites was only more than 6.

As long as the officers and soldiers dare to fight, it's not that there is no chance. It's just that the officers and the army are not united, and some people always flee in the middle of the fight, or there is no unified command, and they are sent off wave after wave, which makes Li Zicheng difficult to fight.

This time Li Zicheng besieged Kaifeng for more than half a year, but he couldn't take it. In the end, he could only flood Bianliang with water. Combat power made him fail one after another when facing Sun Chuanting.

Now that all the family members who broke into the old camp of the army were killed by the officers and soldiers, Li Zicheng became angry and wanted to gather everyone to fight Sun Chuanting.

After hearing Gao Yihuan's words, everyone in the hall couldn't help discussing for a while. Wu Shizhao frowned and said, "Captain, if Zhao Yingyuan transfers all the main forces, we will also send troops. After being surrounded by us, what should we do?"

Although the second elder brother Gao and Liu Liangzuo maintain a tacit understanding, the second elder brother resells supplies to earn money and food, and does not give Liu Liangzuo less benefits, but once the main force of the invading army moves westward and the Guide Mansion is empty of troops, it is really true whether Ma Shiying, the governor of Lufeng, will make a move Hard to say.

After hearing Wu Shizhao's words, the officers in the hall couldn't help turning their heads to look at Brother Gao. They already had feelings for Luyi, and they had just settled down, and they didn't want to lose this place.

This is also an important question for the second brother in high school.If Zhao Yingyuan really wanted to transfer the main force of the invading army from Guide Mansion to help Li Zicheng in the battle, and Nanzhi's army should cooperate with Sun Chuanting to take advantage of the momentum to regain Guide, even if all his people stayed in Luyi, he would not be able to stop the army.

Right now the bastion is just about to be built, and Second Brother Gao is a little guilty. If he goes west with Zhao Yingyuan and the government army seizes his Luyi, then his busy work in the past few months will be in vain.

Gao Yihuan was silent for a while, when a personal guard suddenly came to the door, called Zhao Zhuzi, and handed him a secret letter.Zhao Zhuzi took the secret letter, and hurried to Gao Yihuan's side, "Second brother, the secret letter from Bozhou Ma Yuanwai~"
