The atmosphere in the flower hall was a little quiet for a while.
After a long time, Li Guo lowered his voice and said, "You don't have to worry about this matter.
I will personally send someone to investigate."
Li Laiheng said anxiously: "Commander Father, what should we do over there at the military camp?
It can't be suppressed by pressure."
"I told you to leave it alone, don't you understand?"
Li Guo suddenly exploded and roared at Li Laiheng.
Li Laiheng was stunned for a moment, then he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Guo: "It's all the child's fault.
Don't be angry, handsome father."
"Go down" Li Guo waved his hand impatiently.
Li Laiheng stood up tremblingly, gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
After Li Laiheng left, Li Guo's whole body softened instantly like a deflated sheepskin raft.
"Guoxun, this can't be true."
Although Gao Yigong was also shocked, at least he remained calm.
Seeing that Li Guo was a little out of control, he comforted him with kind words: "Don't worry, let's find out the matter first.
Maybe the little tiger made a mistake."
But he also knew in his heart that this kind of thing was unlikely to be groundless.
Now that Li Zicheng's death in battle was widely reported in Jingmen City, they had to prepare for the worst.
"Guoxun, tell me, did the governor know about it from the beginning?
No wonder he refused to give in at all during the negotiation, as if he was determined to defeat us."
Li Guo's biggest asset when negotiating his surrender was Li Zicheng.
As long as Li Zicheng is not dead, Li Guo can go and defect at any time.
But if Li Zicheng had died, the situation would be completely different.
Apart from defecting to the Manchus, Li Guo could only return to the Ming Dynasty.
It is too difficult and unrealistic to survive in the cracks between two powerful enemies.
"That's not necessarily the case.
Let's clarify the matter first.
No matter what, you have to cheer up."
Gao Yigong patted Li Guo on the shoulder and said seriously.
It would be best if Li Zicheng did not die.
They could pretend to surrender according to the original plan and look for opportunities to defect.
If Li Zicheng really died, Li Guo would have to shoulder the heavy responsibility.
Regardless of whether they want to go it alone in the future, the old Shunjun army needs a leader who can speak the truth.
Gao Yigong's qualifications are sufficient, but his personality is not suitable for being the leader.
Li Guo is very suitable, and his momentum is quite similar to that of Li Zicheng.
"How can I figure it out?
I'll ask Du Yinxi myself."
Li Guo was now completely confused and didn't know what to do.
"Of course you don't have to ask him."
Gao Yigong sighed and said, "Just go to the Di newspaper."
Li Guo woke up just like a dream.
Yes, he is now a general of the Ming army, so he naturally has the right to read the Di newspaper.
Something as important as this will definitely be recorded in the newspaper.
"I will order people to dig out all the newspapers from the past few months."
Li Guo clenched his fists and said.

Changsha Mansion.
The prefect Zhao Hui was so anxious that he walked around in the government office.
The sudden appearance of tens of thousands of troops in Changsha Mansion would scare people to death.
At the suggestion of his staff, Zhao Hui immediately reported to Huguang Governor Du Yinxi.
But after the letter he wrote was sent to Wuchang, it disappeared like a cow in the sea.
At this time, Zhao Hui had two choices.
One is to continue waiting until Du Yinxi gives him an order.
The second is to write a memorial yourself and send someone to Nanjing as soon as possible for the emperor to read.
Of course, this is very risky.
If Du Yinxi is investigated in the future and asked why he jumped to the next level to report, Zhao Hui will be very passive.
But it would also be very dangerous if he did not write this memorial.
If the thieves really attack the city, it will be impossible for the soldiers in Changsha Mansion to defend it.
Once the city is captured by thieves, Zhao Hui will not be able to escape the crime of losing his land.
Even if Zhao Hui escapes by chance, he will be captured by the Jin Yiwei and taken back to the capital to be killed in the Western Market.
By then, Du Yinxi would not say a word for him.
Of course, Zhao Hui would choose the former when it comes to being a dead Taoist friend or a dead Taoist.
Even if it offends Du Yinxi, he will not hesitate.
Can't wait any longer In the end, Zhao Hui gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
He was going to ask someone to prepare pen and ink and write the memorial himself.
At this moment, someone suddenly came to report that the leader of the group of thieves sent someone to shoot an arrow into the city, with a letter tied to the arrow.
Zhao Hui quickly ordered him to submit the letter.
It's said to be a letter, but it's actually just a small note.
The content is also very simple, that is, asking the Changsha government to lend them food.
Of course, Zhao Hui understood that he was borrowing food, but in fact it was just meat buns beating dogs and never coming back.
At the end of the letter were written the words Hao Yaoqi.
However, Zhao Hui didn't react much.
He had never heard of this person's name.
He must be a grassroots thief from some mountain top.
Zhao Hui was at a loss for what to do, so he simply called his staff to discuss the matter together.
The staff member was shocked when he saw the words Hao Yaoqi.
"Dong Weng, this person is a powerful general under Li Chuang's command."
"What" Zhao Hui was surprised and said: "Then this army is the Chuang Army."
The fighting power of the Chuang army was still very strong.
Although they were chased and beaten by the Qing army, they still caused the Ming army to suffer a lot.
"What should I do, what should I do?"
Hao Yaoqi came to "borrow food" in person.
If Zhao Hui did not borrow, Hao Yaoqi would definitely order an attack on the city in anger.
After the city is broken, Zhao Hui will definitely die.
But if Zhao Hui was forced to lend food to Hao Yaoqi under pressure, if the matter leaked out and the matter was investigated by the court, Zhao Hui would be labeled as a collaborator and would be unable to eat.
No matter which way you look at it, his current situation is very difficult.
"Don't panic, Mr.
Dong.
Let's lend him the food first."
Hearing what his staff said, Zhao Hui raised his eyebrows and said, "What if the court finds out in the future?"
"The court has no evidence.

Can Dong Weng be punished with just some gossip?
As for the lack of food in the treasury, just make an account."
The lesser of two evils, for Zhao Hui, the risk of cooperation with Hao Yaoqi is obviously lower.
"Then how should we communicate with Hao Yaoqi?"
What Hao Yaoqi wanted was food, but it was impossible for so much food to appear in front of Hao Yaoqi out of thin air.
If Zhao Hui wants to "lend" food to Hao Yaoqi, he must open the city gate.
God knows whether Hao Yaoqi will take the opportunity to attack the city at this time.
"Dong Weng might as well agree on a time and place with Hao Yaoqi and deliver the goods there.
Just make sure that the place is far away from the city."
Zhao Hui's eyes lit up.
This is indeed a good idea.
As long as they don't deliver the goods under the city, even if Hao Yaoqi goes back on his word, Zhao Hui will still have time to organize men to defend the city.
And there is another advantage to doing this.
Zhao Hui can ask the government servants and government soldiers who transport food to pretend to be merchants and form a temporary "caravan".
This can further clear Zhao Hui's guilt.
Even if the court investigates him in the future, there will be no evidence to prove that he had an affair with Hao Yaoqi
