Just discussed for more than an hour but didn't discuss the reason, Yue Qijie couldn't help but be a little worried.

He arched his hand at Gao Jie and said, "Even if Mr. Gao wants to go to Suizhou, he should bring more people." Yue heard that Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Henan, had faintly had the intention of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty. ”

Gao Jie pushed his hand and said: "Yue Futai is more worried, when Yuan Gong was the governor of the imperial history of the right capital, Xu Dingguo was under the curtain of Yuan Gong, and now Yuan participates in politics as the son of the benefactor and Gao Mou went to Suizhou, how dare Xu Dingguo have evil intentions." ”

What Gao Jie said was an old thing.

In the past, Yuan Keli was ordered to patrol Denglai on the tenth day of April in the second year of the Apocalypse. Xu Dingguo, a person from Taikang in Henan, worshiped under Yuan Keli's curtain and was quite valued by Yuan Keli.

It is precisely because of Yuan Keli's promotion that Xu Dingguo was able to rise all the way and finally achieve the position of Henan's chief soldier.

It can be said that Yuan Keli is Xu Dingguo's benefactor.

And Yuan Shu, who participated in politics in Suiyang Dao, is the son of Yuan Keli, Gao Jie means that even if Xu Dingguo is disrespectful to him Gao Jie, will he still be disrespectful to the son of the former benefactor?

This time, he was ordered to go on a northern expedition to unite all the forces that could be united.

The Ming Dynasty only has one force in Henan, and if Gao Jie and Xu Dingguo get into a stalemate, it will be very unfavorable to the Northern Expedition.

It was Gao Jie who was ready to go to Suizhou with only his own soldiers to express his sincerity.

Yue Qijie had no choice but to give Yuan Shu a look and motioned for him to speak.

Yuan Shu did not hesitate, coughed and said, "Mr. Gao's words are wrong. Although his father had the grace of knowing Xu Dingguo, he was cold and weak, and he might not think of the old feelings. What's more, my father has long passed away, and the so-called people take tea and cool, I'm afraid he doesn't even bother to do it. ”

Gao Jie never thought that Yuan Shu would say this, and was stunned for a moment and said: "If this is the case, this Xu Dingguo is too shameless." Could it be that this guy is really secretly communicating with Dongyu? ”

Seeing this, Chen Qianfu hurriedly persuaded: "It's a matter of the Northern Expedition, I'd rather believe it than believe it." ”

Gao Jie also hesitated a little now.

Of the four people in the flower hall, except for himself, the other three were not optimistic about Xu Dingguo.

Is this surnamed Xu really disobedient?

At this moment a soldier came to report that the scout had been brought.

Gao Jie waved his hand and motioned for someone to come in.

Wei Degong walked into the flower hall and saw the four bigwigs sitting on the top in turn, and he didn't hesitate to immediately kneel on the ground and salute Gao Jie: "Mark the scout camp Wei Degong, meet the handsome, meet the adults." ”

Gao Jie snorted and said in a deep voice: "You said that there is an important military situation to report to the commander, then let's say it." ”

"This..."

Wei Degong glanced at Yue Qijie, Chen Qianfu, Yuan Shu and others, and stopped talking.

Gao Jie saw what he was thinking, and said impatiently: "The three adults are their own people, you don't have to worry." ”

Wei Degong gritted his teeth and said: "When I was scouting in northern Henan, I found a team of more than a dozen Tartar cavalry heading to Suizhou, and I suspected that these people wanted to discuss surrender with Xu Dingguo in Suizhou!" ”

Bang!

When Gao Jie heard this, his brain exploded.

What, this Xu Dingguo really wants to surrender the Tartars!

If Fang Caiyue Qijie and others judged that Xu Dingguo's intention to surrender was just chasing after the wind, then Wei Degong's words are undoubted evidence.

If Xu Dingguo had no plan to surrender the Tartars, why did more than a dozen Tartar soldiers go to Suizhou?

"Ben Shuai asks you again, but you have seen these with your own eyes?"

"Returning to the marshal, what is said under the mark is true, those Tartars are indeed going in the direction of Suizhou."

"Could it just be a passerby?"

Gao Jie still had illusions about Xu Dingguo, and said something that made people laugh and cry.

Yue Qijie sighed and said: "Mr. Gao's mood, Ben Fu is understandable. But the matter has come to this, it seems that Xu Dingguo has long intended to surrender, and Gao Zongrong must not be in danger. ”

After saying this, Yue Qijie himself felt a little cheap.

Since the Tumubao Change, civilian power has overwhelmed military generals.

In the Wanli, Tianqi, and Chongzhen dynasties, the status of civil officials was further improved, and even the Son of Heaven was not taken into account.

In this case, the subordinate officials can completely scold the military generals like domestic servants, and if they are slightly unsatisfactory, they can ask the left and right personal attendants to take down the military attache and beat the board.

But since the end of Chongzhen, thieves have been in ruins, and the world is in chaos.

Emperor Lie had to reuse military attaches in order to suppress thieves and pacify captives, which also led to the successive appearance of Liao Zhen Zu Dashou, Chu Zhen Zuo Liangyu and others.

In troubled times, only with soldiers can they stand upright, and the status of civil officials and military generals is instantly reversed.

Except for a few tough supervisors such as Lu Xiangsheng, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting, there are almost no military generals who can be commanded by civilian officials.

Now Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting have died in battle, Hong Chengchou has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and the generals are even more domineering.

A bare-rod governor like Yue Qijie, who has no soldiers in his hands, can't do anything if he doesn't cooperate with Gao Jie.

What made Yue Qijie feel a little relieved was that at least Gao Jie still listened to the orders of the imperial court.

The imperial court ordered his northern expedition, and he did not hesitate to lead his troops to leave Shandong and prepare to go north.

In this case, of course, Yue Qijie didn't want Gao Jie to have any accidents. After all, none of the generals in the middle of Gao Jie's army are fuel-efficient lamps. Li Benshen, Li Chengdong, and Bai Yongfu are the three tiger generals, and no one is convinced.

If it weren't for Gao Jie's strength, the three generals under his command could have friction at any time.

Now, in addition to Li Benshen sitting in Xuzhou, Li Chengdong and Bai Yongfu are all following Gao Jie to prepare for the Northern Expedition. If Gao Jie made any mistakes, the army of 50,000 people would probably collapse in an instant.

It was Yue Qijie who desperately persuaded Gao Jie not to go to Suizhou for a banquet alone, this banquet is likely to be a Hongmen banquet.

It turns out that Yue Qijie's worries are justified.

Xu Dingguo's guy really went to eye with Manqing, and secretly communicated with each other.

"Gao Zongrong is still careful, he might as well lead the army to Suizhou, and if there is a large army to suppress the formation, Xu Dingguo will not dare to play any tricks."

Chen Qianfu suggested loudly.

In his opinion, any intrigue and trickery in the face of absolute strength is not to be feared.

Gao Jie has 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and they are all veterans and elite soldiers who have been in battle for a long time.

There are only 10,000 people under Xu Dingguo's command, and there are many old and weak auxiliary soldiers.

Seeing Gao Jie leading the army under Chen Bingcheng, Xu Dingguo might have weak legs and stomach.

Chen Qianfu thinks that to deal with a shameless villain like Xu Dingguo, he should directly sweep the stick and use his strength to force him.

When Gao Jie's army entered Suizhou and controlled Suizhou City, he could further incorporate Xu Dingguo's army.

At that time, Xu Dingguo wanted to resist and had no chance, so he could only obediently tie his hands and kill him.

In Chen Qianfu's opinion, a shameless villain like Xu Dingguo, who intends to surrender to the country and commit treason, is too cheap to cut with a knife, and he should be sent to Nanjing to be executed in Lingchi in Xishi!
