Wang Qiaonian had a gloomy face. In an official society, as the top leader of the local area, Wang Qiaonian didn't like it very much, and the people below questioned his decision.

Gao Mingheng let out a breath and eased his tone, "Duxian Wang, the Qin army had just been defeated, and Governor Fu was killed by the trespassers. Now the hearts of the people in Henan and Shaanxi are shaken. At this time, Duxian Wang should stabilize the hearts of the people, how could he stab the sword in the back?"

Wang Qiaonian had a stern face, "Gao Fujun, what do you mean? Are you teaching the supervisor to do things?"

Gao Mingheng said: "Gao Huan is in a hurry to the province, and the thieves invaded Xiangcheng on a large scale. Why did the governor ask Liu Liangzuo to take over the four counties?"

Wang Qiaonian said coldly: "This governor naturally has the consideration of this governor. Why did Fu Zonglong lose his life and death? It is because He Renlong is not his confidant. If we want to eliminate the bandits, we can only use trustworthy people. Gao Huan was originally a bandit, so we had to guard against Liu Liangzuo and Deng. Yu was to urge Gao Huan to fight with the thieves, and at the same time we were also to guard against Gao Huan's rebellion!"

Gao Mingheng was speechless, "The soldiers on the front line are fighting, and Du Xian does not support him, but are guarding everywhere. What's the reason? Moreover, sending Liu Liangzuo into Deng, Yu, Du Xian is probably for the food of the four counties!"

As the governor, Wang Qiaonian naturally needs to take all major military and political affairs. How can he tolerate Gao Mingheng's repeated doubts and contradicts?

As the leader, they all want face. In anger, Wang Qiaonian slapped the table and angrily said, "Someone told me that you, Gao Fu's army, colluded with the generals of the town, and transferred interests. I didn't believe it. Now it seems that I have to believe it. Gao Huan is just a thief head who has been recruited. I want to suppress the thief. What I want to suppress the thief is an obedient court official army, and what I want to recognize the thief. Deng and Yu are the prefectures and counties of the court, not Gao Huan's territory, and the court has no vassal states. I want to suppress bandits and bandits, and I need money and food. As the four counties, I want food from the four counties. What's wrong with this!"

Wang Qiaonian was justified and wanted to be on guard against Gao Huan and ask for money and food from the four counties.

Gao Mingheng was speechless, not because he admitted that Wang Qiaonian's words were reasonable, but because his reasoning could not be discussed on the surface, and it also did not make sense to Wang Qiaonian.

To maintain the situation in Henan now, we must turn a blind eye, because there are not many people who are truly loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, it is time to win people's hearts and maintain the situation first. Gao Huan is indeed not loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but as long as it is useful to the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to be too serious.

But now Wang Qiaonian does not consider the actual situation and wants to use his own people, take money and food from the four counties, and stick to his own opinions. Gao Mingheng has no choice.

After all, Wang Qiaonian was the governor, and the money and food allocated by Hou Xun of the Ministry of Revenue were all in the hands of Wang Qiaonian. Gao Mingheng had no money or food in addition to Fubiao, so he could not control Wang Qiaonian's decision.

"This matter! I will never agree with it. If Governor insists on doing it, the Governor will bear all the troubles!" Gao Mingheng had a gloomy face, "I will report to the court to inform Your Majesty of this matter!"

Wang Qiaonian snorted coldly, "Hmph! You'd better not care about anything, don't interfere with my supervisor's actions! Otherwise, my supervisor will definitely participate in you and collude with the generals."

...

On the sixth day of the lunar month, the rebel army launched a fierce attack on Xiangcheng, but did not break through Xiangcheng.

The equipment Li Zicheng made when he attacked Nanyang, including hundreds of stone throwers, countless city towers, cloud ladders, and cave houses, were destroyed by the defenders.

This made Li Zicheng have to temporarily stop the attack, build equipment and fill trenches, fighting for consumption with the defenders.

The offensive and defensive battle in Xiangcheng immediately entered the stalemate stage.

At the top of Xiangcheng City, Gao Huan glanced at the outside of the city, and the camp of the rebels in the distance, and immediately ordered: "Li Zicheng encountered a wall in Xiangcheng. Maybe he would send a small group of people to cross mountains and ridges to harass the country. He ordered all counties to organize villages to collect grain as soon as possible, and to order all villages to strengthen their vigilance. When encountering small groups of enemy troops, they should immediately set off cigarettes to warn!"

"Zhong! I'll send the order now!" Qi Dazhu hurriedly saluted.

In mid-June, the people of Dengfeng, Mi County, Xinzheng, Yuzhou, and the people of all villages and villages, men, women, young and old, began to harvest wheat, corn, and sweet potatoes.

The people wearing straw hats in the fields bent over and harvested wheat. Children and women were pushing trucks of grain to the gravel field with corn on the cob.

Looking at the bumper harvest, the people of the four counties were filled with joy.

At this time, Li Yan, Li Wu, Sun Sike and others inspected the summer harvest in Xinzheng County, and looked at the burgers covered with grain in various villages, with joy on their faces.

Li Wu smiled and said, "There are more than 3 million mu of arable land on Dengfeng, Mi County, Xinzheng, Yuzhou, and Yuzhou. This time, the four counties have a bumper harvest, and it is estimated that they can obtain 3 million stones of grain. In addition, Xuzhou, Changge, Linying and other counties can also collect some grain. The food for the people and the army should be barely enough to be self-sufficient in the military government."

Li Yan also smiled and said, "This is all the governor who introduced corn and sweet potatoes to allow dry land to be cultivated. He also dug a hand-pressed water well to achieve this bumper harvest!"

"Not bad! If it weren't for the generals, the four counties would have been as dilapidated as other prefectures and counties!" Sun Sike also nodded, not hiding his admiration for Gao Huan.

Li Yan said: "There is news from the governor that the crusade is blocked in Xiangcheng at the moment, but we cannot be careless. We need to harvest and dry the grain as soon as possible and then put it into the warehouse. This year, when Zhang Xianzhong makes trouble in Huguang, there will definitely be shortage of food in all places, and we can only be self-sufficient in Henan, which will definitely be coveted!"

Sun Sike agreed deeply, "It's a crime to bear a treasure! Wang Qiaonian sent Gong Dingwei and others to come here before, but wasn't he just liked the four counties and was about to have a good harvest?"

Everyone agreed, and at this moment, a cavalry rushed over, came to the front of several people, and turned over and dismounted.

The cavalry rushed forward and saluted on one knee, "Military advisor, Kaifeng urgent matter!"

Li Yan shook his sleeves, took the letter, opened it and scanned it quickly, immediately frowned, and said in anger: "As expected, Wang Qiaonian took action again!"

"What's going on?" Everyone was shocked.

Li Yan handed the letter to everyone and said in a deep voice: "Wang Qiaonian wants to take advantage of the generals to defend the enemy in Xiangcheng and send people to accept the four counties!"

Li Wu frowned, "You can't let them give up on Gong Dingzi's matter, but you dare to send someone here?"

Li Yan said: "This time, it was not to send officials, but to Liu Liangzuo's army!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone was shocked and hurriedly read the letter, and their expressions immediately became serious.

Sun Sike gritted his teeth and said, "Why is Wang Qiaonian just thinking about dealing with us if he doesn't go to suppress the thieves?"

If the generals knew about it, they would definitely be clamoring to rebel and destroy Wang Qiaonian, but Li Yan and several aides were still calm.

Li Yan said in a deep voice: "The most urgent task is to be prepared and then send someone to inform the governor."
