There was already a slight chill on the riverside on the October night, and for Li Hualong, the cold was not only the body, but also the heart.

He would never have imagined that he would be in such a situation.

Chai Guozhu looked at him calmly.

"Governor Li, where did you get so much prejudice against military generals? In other words, why do you literati always look down on military generals so much? Are generals really that despicable? Is it true that you won't do a good thing? What the civil officials do is right, and what the military generals do is wrong?

A civilian coup d'état is called reshaping the dynasty, and a military general doing something is a rebellion, why is this? Xiao Jixin is dedicated to serving the country and the emperor, how did she become a thief, why was she harmed like that by Shen Zheng? ”

Li Hualong was so shocked that he couldn't say a word for a while, and while Chai Guozhu was speaking, the guards around Chai Guozhu had already pulled out their sabers and rushed behind Li Hualong to slash those guards and officials who were caught off guard.

A group of unlucky people gave their lives in this way, and they didn't know who they were killed by or why they were killed until they died, because everything happened so suddenly.

The shouts of killing rang out, Li Hualong hadn't figured out the situation yet, and he actually killed on his side, and he didn't know who killed whom, anyway, he killed a group of people together, and there were screams and shouts everywhere.

Subsequently, in front of Li Hualong's eyes, five of Chai Guozhu's personal guards lit the torches together, stood by the river and shook the torches in their hands against the opposite bank.

The light of the fire was so dazzling in the night.

Li Hualong suddenly thought of a very terrifying possibility.

"Firewood...... Chai Guozhu!! What the hell are you doing? Do you know what you're doing?! ”

Li Hualong roared out very excitedly.

Chai Guozhu looked at Li Hualong calmly, and there was no fluctuation on his face at all.

"Of course I know, of course I know what I'm doing, I'm doing what I have to do, Governor Li, to put it simply, I'm a military general, how can I help a civilian official and not a military general?"

Li Hualong's face was full of horror.

"You...... When did you collude with the bandits? ”

"Last night."

"What?"

"Last night, I took the initiative to contact them and told them that I am willing to raise troops anyway, take Yangzhou, and create conditions for the Northern Expedition of the Wang Division, they promised me that they would cooperate with my actions tonight, and now they should have set off, and they will arrive soon, you see."

Chai Guozhu pointed to the other side of the river, Li Hualong turned his head, and suddenly, a burst of fire suddenly lit up on the river, illuminating the countless Zhennan warships, and they were coming towards this side violently.

"Not only that, my subordinates are basically willing to help me, as long as I capture you and Governor Li, everything will be fine, and now I am also in charge of Yangzhou city defense, except for the thousands of waste-like guards and those Beijing camp soldiers, everything is under my control.

Governor Lee, you didn't expect that, did you? The generals launched ruthlessly, it was really powerful, Shen always forced Xiao Jixin to reverse, Xiao Jixin swept half of Jiangnan, soon, it will be the entire Jiangnan, and then the entire Ming Dynasty, what about you? What can you do? ”

Under the firelight, Li Hualong's expression was very exciting, like anger, like panic, like a collapse, like a smile.

"Chai Guozhu...... You...... Are you rebelling...... Are you rebelling!! ”

"Rebellion? Perhaps! But so what? As long as we hit Jingshi and kill Shen Yiyi, who is the thief, don't we still have the final say? Isn't that right, Governor Lee? ”

Li Hualong was speechless for a moment.

He could only watch as everything galloped in an uncontrollable direction, and watched everything gallop towards Xiao Ruxun's more powerful direction, and he couldn't do anything.

That night, Yangzhou City was taken by the Zhennan Army Naval Division, and it was taken peacefully, without firing a single shot and killing a soldier guarding the door.

More than 6,000 guards did not resist at all, they simply knelt on the ground and surrendered, just seeking a way to live, the Jingying soldiers were defeated after the raid of the Jizhen soldiers, most of them surrendered, a small number were killed, and only a very small number of people fled along the north.

The prefect of Yangzhou was killed in the chaos, the Tongzhi of Yangzhou was captured alive, and none of the officials brought by Li Hualong and the officials of Yangzhou escaped, and all of them were captured.

A large number of military supplies hoarded in Yangzhou were all returned to Jiang Dahai, fattening Jiang Dahai, and the road to the north was opened.

Jiang Dahai entered Yangzhou City that night, and then held a cordial meeting with Chai Guozhu.

When Chai Guozhu took the initiative to send someone to contact, Jiang Dahai still felt a little incredible, if the difference in strength was too big and he had to surrender, this would be more credible, but it was obviously Li Hualong's side that had the advantage in strength, Jiang Dahai never dared to really face to face with Ji Zhenbing, and only dared to constantly attack him on the water.

But Chai Guozhu said that he could collect the Jizhen soldiers for Xiao Ruxun's use, this situation is different, if the Jizhen soldiers defect, there are only more than 10,000 people in the entire Yangzhou who can still listen to Li Hualong's command, how many chances is this?

As for the reason, Chai Guozhu didn't say much, just said that he was fed up with Li Hualong's drive, as long as Jiang Dahai was willing to believe him, and when five torches were lit on the north bank tomorrow night, he would send sailors to cross the river.

Throughout the night, Jiang Dahai personally stood on the edge of the river and looked at the opposite bank with a clairvoyant mirror, until he saw the five torches shaking, he still hesitated in his heart, but thinking of wealth and danger, this brave guy decided to rush over with all his might.

Facts have proved that he did the right thing, he believed Chai Guozhu, and what Chai Guozhu returned to him was not hypocrisy, but real good things.

Li Hualong, who he was very afraid of, as well as his entire team, and more than 40,000 elites of Ji Town.

Now the imperial court in the north is really nowhere to go, the last large-scale strategic main force was annihilated, the main body directly defected, and the commander Li Hualong was captured alive, if the news reached the Beijing Division, I don't know how Shen Cheng would collapse.

"Chief Chai Bing, thank you for your deep understanding of righteousness, in this way, the overall situation has been decided, and the Shen thief is no longer able to return to the sky!"

Jiang Dahai held Chai Guozhu's hand tightly, his face full of excitement.

"Admiral Jiang has won the award, Chai just can't see the perverse actions of people like Shen Thief and Li Hualong, so he decided to surrender, hoping that Admiral Jiang won't care about the fight between you and my army before."

Chai Guozhu seemed a little worried.

Jiang Dahai laughed.

"Things that don't exist, at that time, each was its master, and now they are in the same boat, Mr. Chai is still Xiao Dashuai's old subordinate, and they have fought together, if Xiao Dashuai knows that Mr. Chai has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, I don't know how happy I should be, hahahahahahaha!"

Hearing Jiang Dahai say this, Chai Guozhu also let go of his nervousness, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
