"Brother Shuangxi, why do you say this, you and I belong to the same clan, in the same lineage, your woman is mine... Brother and sister, I Li Guo is a knife in both ribs, and it is my duty to shirk. ”

Li Guo was really a little drunk, and his speech was a little slurred and unclear.

"I just said that a tiger Li Guo is my brother, good brother, then we will start an army in Yangzhou tomorrow."

"Yangzhou?" This woke up Li Guojiu, and he suddenly stood up from his seat.

"Brother, are you talking about Yangzhou City, which is besieged by 200,000 Qing soldiers?"

"Yes, is there a second Yangzhou in this world?"

Li Guo heard it very clearly at close range this time, he sat down on the seat again, and the wine was completely awake.

Seeing that a tiger became silent, Li Shuangxi's wine also woke up for most of the time, and he also sat down silently.

"Brother, tell me about this woman." Li Guo picked up the wine glass and looked up, only to find that the wine glass was empty, he was embarrassed to put down the wine glass, picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a full glass.

After listening to Li Shuangxi's story, Li Guo did not answer his request for borrowing troops directly, he picked up his wine glass and stood up. While pacing in the military tent, he drank all the wine in his hand. The tall figure in the flickering candlelight was full of sorrow and helplessness.

"'The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city is deep in spring and grass. When I feel the tears, I hate the birds. 'Brother Double Happiness, if you were to be the boss of one side now, would you gamble all your brothers for the sake of one woman?' ”

Li Guo's words have a deep meaning, he is no longer a general who charges at the front of the order, he is now the commander of the party, and he has to plan for the overall situation.

"Li Guo, you don't go to save people, I'll save you, double happiness, support you here for my mother." Where the curtain was opened, a female general walked in, it was the queen mother Gao Guiying.

"Knock on the Queen Mother," seeing Gao Guiying come in, the two good brothers woke up.

"Double happiness, I'll go to Yangzhou with you to save my daughter-in-law, let those men who only know that big things are important, ruthless and unjust, get out of the way."

"The Queen Mother," Li Guo, who was scolded by Gao Guiying, was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed face. Only Li Shuangxi heard the deep meaning of her words, she was scolding King Chuang for abandoning her regardless of family affection.

"The queen mother, it's not that I don't want to save it, it's just that now the Qing soldiers are strong and strong, with 200,000 troops, and my Dashun army is far away, and there are several passes guarded by the Qing soldiers between the marches, even if we don't sleep in the starry night, I'm afraid that by the time we rush there, Yangzhou City will be long gone."

Li Guo's words were not unreasonable, as soon as he finished speaking, Gao Guiying stopped talking, she glanced at Li Shuangxi and sighed lightly.

"Double happiness I have a plan, I will be able to rush to Yangzhou within a few days. As long as..."With Gao Guiying's support, Li Shuangxi can be regarded as confident, he actually has a bold idea in his heart, but he doesn't know if it can be realized.

The next day, a large number of wealthy merchants poured out of Jingzhou, and it was said that Li Guo's Dashun army was about to march to Wuchang, and before leaving, a tax would be levied on all the wealthy merchants of Jingzhou. Therefore, those who are rich in business are not all riding fast horses and fleeing quickly, and they are afraid that they will not be able to leave late. At the same time, the Dashun army outside Jingzhou City really began to pull out the camp and attack Wuchang.

On the first day of besieging Yangzhou City, Duo Ze sent the Ming generals Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming into the city to persuade Shi Kefa to surrender. The two entered Yangzhou City very reluctantly, and it was not surprising at all that the two were scolded by Shi Kefa's bloody head and rolled out of Yangzhou City in embarrassment. Today is Dorze's ultimatum to Shi Kefa, 'I respect Mr. Roulong's loyalty, I can't bear to see the lives ruined, if you insist on not surrendering, the day the city is broken, Yangzhou City will be washed in blood'.

Shi Kefa threw the letter into the brazier in front of the messenger, and he had already made up his mind to die.

"You go back and tell Doze that the city is here, the city is dead, and I, Shi Kefa, will never surrender."

Driving away Doze's messenger, Shi Kefa suddenly remembered that he should go back to say goodbye to his family, and he knew very well that this would be a farewell to them.

Miss Shi and Xia Qin had already changed into military uniforms in Shangshu Mansion, and they were ready for the worst.

"Dad, today is the fifth day, and there are still five days, and the prime minister will definitely bring troops back to save us." Ms. Shi still has firm confidence in Li Shuangxi.

"Five days? Daughter, if Duoze uses the red-coated cannon to attack the city, Yangzhou can hold out for three days at most, and, do you think he will really come back? Shi Kefa is now completely disappointed in Da Ming, but he doesn't have much hope for this Da Shun's son-in-law.

"He'll definitely come back, I'm sure he'll be back." Shi Feixue's beautiful cheeks were full of confidence and expectation.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that the last hope of my generation of important ministers of Shi Kefa Daming was to look forward to the thief to come to help, it's ridiculous, ridiculous! I only realized today that the one who killed me was not a thief, but ourselves. ”

"Dad," Seeing Shi Kefa laughing wildly, Shi Feixue didn't know how to comfort him.

"Daughter, you remember, if he really comes back, you can go with him, don't take care of your father and me, your father will fight with the Qing soldiers to the end on the day the city is broken, and live and die with Yangzhou City."

"Dad..."Shi Feixue was already crying with pear blossoms and rain, she knew that this was Shi Kefa who came to say goodbye to her.

"Daughter, say goodbye today, continue the fate of your father and daughter in the next life, Da Ming is dead, Da Ming is dead."

After Shi Kefa said this, he turned around and walked out of the gate of the Shi family without looking back. At this time in the city, the explosion of the red-coated cannon was already sounding.

Under the encouragement of the messenger, Doze was furious, and he wanted to take Yangzhou without blood. Because this journey was so smooth, the surrender of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming had made him completely inflated.

Da Ming is now in his eyes, easier to defeat than the Da Shun army, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is completely vulnerable.

Shi Kefa was still the first Ming hardcore he encountered, and he dared to use more than 10,000 defenders in Yangzhou City to resist his 200,000 army. He had sent people to coerce and lure him many times in a row, but he was indifferent and refused to surrender. Tazawa decided to fire a few cannons into the city first to let them know how good he was.

"General, someone has come out and surrendered." As soon as the cannon fire passed, good news came.

"Who came out and surrendered?" Duo Zeduo hopes that it is Shi Kefa, then he can call it a perfect day.

"It's the deputy general of Yangzhou, and there is a prison army who led his 10,000 men out of the city to surrender."

"Isn't it Shi Kefa?" Hearing the report, Dorze was a little disappointed.

"Returning to the general, Shi Kefa closed the city gate again, and he probably won't come out to surrender."

"Okay, pass my order, kill into Yangzhou City, capture Shi Kefa alive, reward 1,000 taels of gold, there must be no mistake."

"Tsk. Pass the general's order, enter Yangzhou City, capture Shi Kefa alive, and reward a thousand taels of gold..."

A bloody siege battle has finally begun, and the defenders of Yangzhou City have less than 20,000 people left.
