Gao Jie couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Li Chengdong said it right. If you cut this with one knife, it will not solve the problem, but will make the problem more complicated.

The lack of evidence in death shows to some extent that Gao Jie is guilty and is deliberately concealing something.

If he has no ghost in his heart, why should he be anxious to "kill and silence"?

Gao Jie knew that he could never do such stupid things that could give people a handle. Those hypocrites who claim to be pillars of the court wanted Gao Jie to make mistakes and then attack them.

Despicable, shameless, despicable.

But this is a scholar.

After carefully analyzing the pros and cons, Gao Jie finally decided to adopt Li Chengdong's suggestion, tie the messenger up and send it to Nanjing.

This means that Gao Jie handed over the power of how to deal with it and the emperor. If he had not been open and honest and selfless, how could he do this?

Gao Jie is like taking out his heart and showing it to the emperor.

I just hope that the emperor can understand his painstaking efforts and not be trapped in the Eastern Barbarians' plan to alienate him!

......

Xuanwu Camp and Yongwu Camp arrived in Dengzhou successively to garrison, and Tianqi Camp arrived in Laizhou.

Denglai Town, which was originally empty in power, became strong and powerful, and the governor Zhang Kentang's back suddenly became hard.

According to his request, both infantry, cavalry and navy must accept the exercise every three days.

The Shence Army such as Xuanwu Camp and Yongwu Camp have completed very well, and the newly trained Naval Army camp is much worse.

However, Zhang Kentang asked them to grit their teeth and persevere. With the example of Shen Ce Army, they would not be allowed to be cheating.

Liu Sanshui is in a good mood.

This is the first time he has seen the sea with his own eyes.

The sea was even more vast than he thought, and the feeling of devouring everything was really intoxicating.

In his spare time, Liu Sanshui would always come to the beach with Pao Ze to step on the water, allowing the waves to slap on his feet.

Liu Sanshui also saw sea boats in Dengzhou Water City, imagining the scene of sailing out to sea on a sea boat.

Unfortunately, he is affiliated with the infantry battalion, so it is estimated that it will be difficult to get such an opportunity.

What's over the sea?

I heard that I could go directly to Liaodong by boat from Denglai. Dongjiang Town obtained grain supplies from Denglai.

Liu Sanshui only hoped that he could see the moment when the Ming Navy crossed the sea and went to Liaodong to pacify the Eastern Territory.

But now, it is still important to complete the training well.

The three-day warrior was not very strong for the soldiers of Xuanwu Camp, and there was no problem with Liu Sanshui adapting.

However, Liu Sanshui always practices more himself in addition to training, so the consumption is quite large.

Compared with Nanjing, Denglai's meat production is not rich, but it is better because of its sufficient seafood.

Like many robes, Liu Sanshui could eat fresh fish and shrimps at every meal, which was extremely happy for them.

The only thing that Liu Sanshui never forgets is the literary and artistic team.

For this reason, he took the initiative to suggest to Shangguan, requesting that a special art team be set up in Dengzhou to rehearse the repertoire for performances.

This suggestion was reported layer by layer, and finally arrived at the Governor Zhang Kentang.

Zhang Kentang had never heard of the literary and artistic team before, but after his staff explained it, he suddenly realized it.

After some inquiries, Zhang Kentang learned that the art troupe is now very famous in Jinan Prefecture. Not only the soldiers in the military camp, but also ordinary people also like to watch their performances.

Zhang Kentang also heard from his staff that there are similar performances in Nanjing now, mainly in restaurants and teahouses.

As the governor of a town, Zhang Kentang naturally needs the most important considerations. But the literary and artistic brigade cannot be formed.

If the performance of the art troupe can relieve the pressure on the soldiers, it will be considered a good thing.

For this reason, Zhang Kentang solicited opinions from officials of all sizes across Dengzhou, and the final result was that most people supported the formation of a literary and artistic team.

Especially Yuan Weitai, the governor of Dengzhou, highly praised the literary and artistic team.

This directly affected Zhang Kentang's judgment, which made him finally decide to form a literary and artistic team in Dengzhou City.

Zhang Kentang was naturally left to Yuan Weitai to do this work. First, he wanted to take this opportunity to examine Yuan Weitai's abilities, and second, Yuan Weitai was the most active in this matter.

Zhang Kentang is a newcomer and needs to rely on veterans like Yuan Weitai to a certain extent in order to better control the overall situation.

If you do everything yourself, it will cause disgust from your subordinates, and the knowledge is still very profound.

Huguang, Wuchang.

In the General's Mansion, Zuo Liangyu frowned.

Recently, he received news that Li Zicheng had led the main army to withdraw from Guanzhong and came all the way to Huguang through Henan.

Although the Shunjun has not yet entered the territory of Huguang, it will be a matter of time before this situation is achieved.

Zuo Liangyu had to make plans early.

Judging from the direction of the army's march, they are most likely to enter Xunyang Prefecture, Huguang first.

Now Xunyang Prefecture is also in the hands of Bai Wang's tribe, and is connected with the four prefectures of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Chengtian and De'an.

Li Zicheng's appetite will never be limited to this. If he leads his troops down the river, Wuchang will face great pressure.

Although Zuo Liangyu's command is known to have an army of 800,000, it is actually only 200,000 to 300,000.

Among these 200,000 to 300,000 are truly able to fight tough battles.

In addition to the fourth battalion of the Central Army that Zuo Liangyu personally controlled, there were the "Qin soldiers" led by Jin Shenghuan, Ma Jinzhong and others.

Deep down, Zuo Liangyu really didn't want to have a conflict with Li Zicheng.

Although Li Zicheng was defeated repeatedly against the Qing army, his strength was still above Zuo Liang's Yu tribe.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Zuo Liangyu knows this well.

To defend Wuchang, you must defend Hanyang, and Zuo Liangyu must mobilize heavy troops to station in Hanyang in advance.

But is it really worth it?

For Zuo Liangyu, the reason why he was able to be a marquis was because he had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand.

If these hundreds of thousands of troops were killed, the court could kick him away at will and then replace him with another person to serve as general.

If Zuo Liangyu leads his army to evacuate, there are many directions to choose from. You can enter Huangzhou Prefecture eastward or go south to Ruizhou, Jiangxi.

Of course, there is another option, which is to flow down the Yangtze River toward Nanjing.

Nanjing is a place of fertile gold powder, and it will be very pleasant to lead a large army to eat near Nanjing.

The only problem is that Nanjing is the current imperial capital, and today's Zi Shenggui is here.

If Zuo Liangyuzhen intends to lead his army to Nanjing, he must come up with a suitable reason.

It seems like a good reason to clear the king's side, but who should I clear?

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be discussed with outsiders. Zuo Liangyu has never even said it to his son Zuo Menggeng.

Without any necessity, Zuo Liangyu did not want to give up Huguang's foundation. After all, Huguang is the granary of the world. He controls the people and horses that can be raised by the army here, and maintains his strong strength.
