After discussing with Gao Yigong, Li Guo decided to try to negotiate peace with the Ming army.
The current state of this compliant army is really bad.
If they continue to march forcefully, uncontrollable things may happen.
But when Li Guo sent an envoy to Jingzhou, he brought back extremely surprising news.
It turns out that it is no longer He Tengjiao and Zuo Liangyu who are in charge of Huguang's military affairs, but Governor Du Yinxi.
As for Zuo Liangyu and He Tengjiao, they had been killed by the imperial court because they launched a rebellion.
Although this news only circulated within the Dashun West Route Army, it still caused an uproar.
You must know that Zuo Liangyu is the largest warlord in the south, with a total of 800,000 troops.
It is really sad that a warlord with such great power ended up dead while chatting and laughing.
So, how many troops the Ming Dynasty has and the strength behind it is too scary, right?
Originally, Li Guo still had a slight hesitation about negotiating peace with Ming Ting, but now this last doubt has been dispelled.
Those who understand the current affairs are heroes.
If Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of thousands of troops cannot shake the Ming Dynasty's rule in Jiangnan, his tired army of hundreds of thousands will certainly not be able to do so either.
Of course, the peace negotiation could not be done immediately.
It would have to wait until the governor of Huguang, Du Yinxi, came to Jingzhou.
Du Yinxi, who is in charge of the governor's office in Huguang, Wuchang, was surprised and happy when he got the news that a tiger had arrived in Jingzhou, Huguang.
He was shocked that a tiger could break through many obstacles and reach Huguang.
He was happy that he finally had the opportunity to recruit the remaining troops of the Shun army.
The Holy One once gave him a secret order, asking him to seize the opportunity to recruit the remaining troops of the obedient army.
After Li Zicheng's death, Du Yinxi also actively sent people to contact him, hoping to recruit all the powerful generals under Li Zicheng's command.
But what disappointed him was that the remaining troops of Shun Army seemed to have moved.
The envoys sent by Du Yinxi did not successfully contact any Shunjun generals.
Du Yinxi had always left an impression on the emperor that he was smart and capable, but he failed to do a good job in recruiting and surrendering the remaining troops.
He was worried that this matter would affect the emperor's perception of him, and thus affect his career. .
Fortunately, a tiger came to Huguang at the critical moment.
The emperor only asked him to recruit the remaining troops of the shun army, but he did not say that he must surrender the shun army that followed Li Zicheng and retreated south.
The Shun army led by a tiger Li Guo was also a Shun army, and they did not fight too fierce battles along the way, so their strength was more completely preserved.
If this army can be recruited and surrendered as a whole, it will be a great supplement to the strength of the Huguang official army.
The Holy One will definitely take a look at Du Yinxigao and think that he is very capable and effective in doing things.
Of course, Du Yinxi would not let such a good opportunity slip away.
He quickly gathered the soldiers of the governor's Biao camp and rushed to Jingzhou at starry night.
Negotiation requires sincerity, but it also requires skill.
Du Yinxi obviously took the initiative, so there was no need to act too eagerly.
On the contrary, it is Li Guo and Gao Yigong who should be anxious now.
As the New Year is approaching, the remaining troops of Shun Army are short of food and clothing.
If they cannot capture one or two cities, they may starve to death and freeze to death.
Under tremendous pressure, Li Guo was likely to accept Du Yinxi's conditions and surrender to the Ming court.
Of course, the specific conditions still need to be discussed one by one, and Du Yinxi is quite prepared for this.
Finally, Li Guo sent an envoy as a representative of the Shun Army into Jingzhou City to negotiate with Du Yinxi.
Du Yinxi was very angry at first, thinking that Li Guo was not sincere in sending only one envoy to negotiate.
But after learning that this person was Li Laiheng, Li Guo's adopted son, Du Yinxi's anger calmed down a lot.
He also knew that it was very popular among the peasant army to recognize adopted sons.
The leaders of these peasant armies often cultivate their adopted sons as successors.
A tiger is willing to send Li Laiheng to negotiate, which at least proves that he wants to have a good negotiation.
In order to show the majesty of the imperial governor, Du Yinxi ordered people to display all the ceremonial guards and personally received Li Laiheng at the Jingzhou government office.

The first time he saw Li Laiheng, Du Yinxi felt a sense of emotion.
Young, so young.
Judging from Li Laiheng's appearance, he must be less than twenty years old.
"I guess this is Du Junmen, right?
My father sent me to discuss peace talks with Du Junmen.
Isn't Du Junmen even willing to take out a chair?"
Li Laiheng's words were quite provocative, and all the civil and military officials in the lobby looked sideways and glared.
Du Yinxi pressed his hands down, signaling everyone to calm down.
He admired Li Laiheng quite a lot.
In his opinion, this person can have such magnanimity at such a young age, and he will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future.
He was filled with love for talents and said in a harmonious voice: "Here, give me a seat for General Li."
Immediately someone brought chairs and placed them in the middle of the lobby.
Li Laiheng didn't hesitate, lifted up the hem of his robe and sat down.
"General Li can speak now."
Li Laiheng laughed and said: "They say that Du Junmen has extraordinary magnanimity, so Laiheng is convinced."
After a pause, he clasped his fists at Du Yinxi and said: "To be honest, Commander Father really wants to accept the court's recruitment this time.
However, Commander Father has three requirements.
As long as Du Junmen can agree, we are willing to change the flag.
Change flag."
"The bold thief actually negotiated terms with the imperial court."
Wu Han, the prefect of Jingzhou, was furious.
He pointed at Li Laiheng and scolded: "You are on the verge of death.
If you don't surrender, the imperial army can grind you into powder at any time."
"Oh, if the imperial court is really so sure, why does it still need to sit down and talk with us?
Why don't they just send troops to encircle and suppress us?
I think it's the foreign power and the internal power."
Not to be outdone, Li Laiheng pushed Wu Han back with just one sentence.
"you" Thinking that Wu Han was a third-ranked Jinshi, but he couldn't even compete with a grass-headed king.
He was so angry that he almost died.
"Well, General Li might as well state your conditions first."
Du Yinxi gently stroked his beard and said harmoniously.
"You still have the courage to block the military gate."
Li Laiheng glanced at Wu Han fiercely, and then said loudly: "The first condition is that the imperial court must provide us with all the food and fodder, and treat us equally with the officers and soldiers."
Du Yinxi nodded lightly.
"It's easy to say.
If you accept the recruitment and surrender, you will become an officer.
Naturally, I will not shorten your food, grass and military pay."
Li Laiheng continued: "The second condition is that our army cannot be broken up and it will still be led by the original generals."
Du Yinxi frowned when he heard this.
This condition is somewhat overbearing.
If the imperial court wants to truly control the Shun Army, the best way is to break up the original organization and reorganize it, so that the Shun Army generals do not know the soldiers or the generals.
But Yihu obviously also knew that he could not give up the power to command troops easily, so he proposed this condition.
"Just keep talking."
Du Yinxi didn't say yes or no.
He wanted to hear the last condition before making a decision.
