Anyang, Zhangde Fuzhi.

At this moment, Xu Dingguo was garrisoning here, and angrily threw the official document sent by Hong Chengchou to the ground, Xu Dingguo scolded: "Hong Hengjiu, an old man who reads the dishes, deceives people too much!" ”

Isn't his military discipline bad?

What about Gao Jie? What about Liu Liangzuo? Is their military discipline good?

Aren't Liu Zhaoji and Cao Bianjiao also copying all the way?

just wants to use him to open the knife, it's really obvious that he is bullying him and weak.

Xu Dingguo is a native of Taikang in Chenzhou, Central Plains. Nearly sixty years old, in his early years, he was very strong, and he could hold a thousand catties of bells, known as "Xu Qianjin". In the early years of the Apocalypse, he obeyed orders under Yuan Keli, a native of Suizhou, the governor of Denglai, and was promoted to the Chinese army, and participated in the suppression of the White Lotus Sect demon rebellion with Yuan Keli. During the Chongzhen period, he was promoted to the general army of Jinxi with the merit of suppressing the "Liukou", and was arrested and imprisoned later. Because of the lack of generals at that time, he was pardoned and released from prison for meritorious service. After Li Zicheng's army swept through the Central Plains, he was stationed in Guide Mansion and became the only remaining military force of the Ming court in the Central Plains. And this person is conceited and has high merits, and once slandered Gao Jie as a thief. Gao Jie gritted his teeth with hatred when he heard the news, and often said to humanitarians: "When Lao Tzu sees the old horseman, he will cut it."

Therefore, after Xu Dingguo first heard the news of the imperial court's Northern Expedition, he was very troubled in his heart.

Because the imperial court wants to go north to the Central Plains, this is the road to Defu after all, which makes Xu Dingguo have a sense of sharpness. If the imperial court let Gao Jie enter the Central Plains, it would be very bad for him. Although Gao Jie would never dare to blatantly come to take his head! Because the Nanming at this time is not the Nanming in history!

Fortunately, Gao Jie was assigned to Yanzhou, and Xu Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the destination of the imperial court's Northern Expedition was not the Central Plains, nor Qilu, but Beizhili. After all, they met in northern Henan.

With Hong Chengchou pressing the formation, no matter how arrogant Gao Jie was, he didn't dare to ignore the laws of the imperial court, and Xu Dingguo was naturally safe and sound.

In history, he earned Gao Jie's head, and the north served the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which was partly because the Southern Ming Dynasty was abolished, the discipline was chaotic, and a strong feudal clan like Gao Jie killed him without authorization, and the imperial court was powerless to restrain him.

But now it is different, the majesty of the Jinling court and the control of the soldiers and horses of each town are by no means comparable to the Hongguang Dynasty in history. Even if Gao Jie hated Xu Dingguo so much, he didn't dare to raise troops.

Of course, Xu Dingguo also showed great interest and took the initiative to send someone to apologize to Gao Jie.

In a sense, this Ming Army's Northern Expedition has lifted a potential hidden danger for the Xu family, at least on the surface.

Coupled with the fact that the march was extremely smooth along the way, and the fame was affordable, Xu Dingguo had all earned it, and that was the time to be proud. Hong Chengchou hurriedly issued an official document at this time to reprimand his subordinates for ravaging the people and ruining the reputation of the imperial court, which made Xu Dingguo feel very bad.

But his son Xu Er'an is now proud.

The gentry representatives of Handan went out of the city for thirty miles to greet each other, and a Xiucai surnamed Zhao knelt down under Xu Er'an's horse and said: "The British name of General Yang's father and son for a long time is like thunder, and I can see it today, and I am fortunate to have three lives." The attitude is called humility, and it is called Xu Er'an's great joy, but the people of Handan are all materials that can be made, and they are even more convinced of Handan's submission.

When Xu Dingguo's army marched to three or five miles outside the city, he saw a large number of people killing pigs and sheep in an open space, and the big pot stove had already been tired, and the inside was either stir-fried or boiled, and then there were groups of steamers, and the aroma was fragrant.

"This is ......" Xu Er'an was stunned for a moment, and then understood that the people of Handan were still afraid that his army would enter the city.

"The general worked hard for the country, and the soldiers braved the wind and snow all the way, and they must be tired along the way, and the villains specially prepared good wine and food as a hospitality."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Er'an pitifully, and the meaning of his words was obviously to ask Xu Er'an to garrison outside the city, so that Xu Er'an just wanted to laugh. But his face sank, and he shouted angrily: "What? Are you going to leave General Ben here, and even General Ben won't be able to enter the city? ”

Zhao Zhan didn't dare to say: "How dare you snub the general, the city has already prepared delicious wine and delicacies to meet the general." On the other hand, I thought in my heart: There are really idiots in this world who take the initiative to find death.

Isn't that the person in front of you?

Xu Er'an laughed, "General Ben doesn't dare to be so presumptuous. Let's first scatter all the Ding Zhuang in your city, and then throw out all those tattered knives and guns. ”

This person is still vigilant, but he doesn't use the right direction.

Handan, on the other hand, has long been prepared, deliberately hiding some of the strong, and ranking with a mixture of old and weak. Everyone was tired, their eyes were panicked, and the full array could be spoken.

The defeated soldiers of the Qing army brought by Luo Jinxiu also divided 100 people to serve as backbones in the crowd, even if it is a fraud, there must be a sense of reality, right? asked Xu Er'an to see it, and he was really relieved.

If the people of Handan are really all a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, he still doesn't believe it.

"General, please in the city—"

Zhao Zhan didn't see Xu Er'an with hundreds of soldiers behind him, since he sincerely invited people, how could he not allow people to have guards?

And if there were no guards, how would Xu Er'an dare to enter Handan in person?

And Xu Er'an saw that he was entering the city with hundreds of soldiers, but Zhao Zhan didn't stop him, and then looked at the gate of Handan City covered in red and colorful, dozens of well-dressed gentry gathered, and even more Leban was waiting, and the last doubt in his heart was dispelled.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Seeing that Xu Er'an and his party arrived, all the gentry gathered at the gate saluted obediently, firecrackers were lit, and the music class sounded. That's not a lot of fun.

Xu Er'an swaggered into Handan City.

Isn't that immediately immersed in the gentle country?

There are delicious food and wine to entertain, gentry and virtuous people to compliment, and beautiful fans to accompany him, so that Xu Er'an is not happy.

The bitter cold and exhaustion of two or three days of marching in the wind and snow all dissipated, and for a while I didn't want to take care of anything, just thinking about resting in the wine.

"General, the brothers outside the city?"

Xu Guang asked cautiously.

"Anyway, I was also entertained by the people of this department, so forget it today. Let the brethren find a place to rest and find a place to rest, and the matter of entering the city shall be discussed to-morrow. ”

It was impossible for Xu Er'an not to call the soldiers into the city, this was the promise he made. But thinking of the docility of the people of Handan, he told them to sleep peacefully for another night and reprieve for a day.

Luo Jinxiu hid in a big mansion in the city, 'watching all directions and listening to all directions', and knew all about Xu Er'an's actions.

"I never thought this guy would be so unsuccessful."

Xu Er'an's stupidity and greed for money and lust made Luo Jinxiu an eye-opener, thinking that he was driven all the way from Kaifeng to Handan by this kind of person, Luo Jinxiu felt a sense of shame in his heart.

"Zhongcheng can rest assured this time." Wei Yijie had a smile on his face.

This Xu Er'an is simply talented, and the best results previously envisaged are nothing more than these.

"Benfu is naturally at ease." The burden of thousands of catties on Luo Jinxiu's body was completely unloaded. "But this is okay, I really want to thank this little general. And when the thief army outside the city is broken tonight, Benfu will come back to talk to Xu Er'an. ”
