By the time Cao Bianjiao returned to Fengyang, it was already mid-July, and July, a special month, especially in the middle of the year, was even more chilling for the Halloween Festival.

"The Great General......

Just returned to the general's line, Cao Bianjiao's ass was not yet hot, Xing's, Gao Yuanjue and others all broke into the general's mansion and cried in front of Cao Bianjiao, which made Cao Bianjiao feel ominous.

"Could it be that General Gao has an accident?" Cao Bianjiao asked.

"A few days ago, Fujun prepared for the Northern Expedition, led the army to arrive in Guide, planning to recover the Central Plains, the general army Xu Dingguo garrisoned Suizhou, Fujun summoned Xu Dingguo to come to meet, Xu Dingguo did not follow the military order, Fujun invited the supervisor Yue Qijie, patrolling Chen Qianfu to go to Suizhou together, Xu Dingguo went to the suburbs to meet. Yue Qijie persuaded him not to enter the city, but the husband despised Xu Dingguo in his heart, and did not listen to Yue Qijie's words, so he entered the city. Xu Dingguo set up a banquet to entertain him, when the husband was drunk, Xu Dingguo limited the time to send troops, and resolutely urged him to send troops, but he did not expect Xu Dingguo's wolf ambition, has secretly taken refuge in the Manchu Dynasty, and laid an ambush at night, when the husband's troops were all sent to guard Kaifeng, there were only a few dozen people left around, and Xu Dingguo's plot was killed by Xu Dingguo. ”

"On the occasion of the Northern Expedition, why did God treat me like this, cut off my arm, and break my Ming Optimus Pillar!"

Cao Bianjiao is also very sad, although Gao Jie's character is not very good, after all, he is a thief, but since he joined the Ming Dynasty, he has always been loyal, and Gao Jie is brave in battle, he is a pioneer general, at this time Cao Bianjiao lost Gao Jie, which is undoubtedly a great loss.

According to Cao Bianjiao's previous deployment, he will lead the army to capture and recover Shandong, and Gao Jie will lead his troops to collect the first line of the Yellow River in Henan, in this way, the two roads will go out together, and the lost territory can be more effectively recovered, Li Zicheng has transferred most of the soldiers and horses in Henan and Shandong away from the Central Plains to guard the first line of Shanxi and Shaanxi.

"Please ask your father-in-law to avenge your father, kill Xu Dingguo, and ask your father-in-law to be the master!" At the moment, Gao Yuanjue was also crying on the ground and asked Cao Bianjiao for revenge.

"Come on, gather troops and generals, follow me to Suizhou, and avenge General Gao!" Cao Bianjiao also got up angrily, and immediately issued a military order.

At the same time, he comforted Xing and Gao Yuanjue: "Don't worry, I have a sympathy with General Gao, and I will avenge him, I will ask the court for an order and give General Gao the honor, at the moment General Gao's soldiers and horses are in Kaifeng, Mrs. Xing, I will let Li Benshen immediately go to Kaifeng to appease the generals, you go to Suizhou with me!" ”

"Thank you General, everything is up to the General!"

Soon, 50,000 soldiers and horses were assembled, and Cao Bianjiao took Zu Dale, Li Chengliang, Jin Shenghuan and others to Suizhou directly, and at the same time, Cao Bianjiao also ordered Huang De's power army to go north from Xuzhou to attack Shandong, and it was necessary to recover the Central Plains as soon as possible when Li Zicheng and the Manchus were pinched.

"You have been serving as a supervisor in Gao Jie's army, tell me what the situation is, why did Xu Dingguo defect to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and why did Gao Jie have no defense at all?"

Cao Bianjiao was on the horse, asking Yue Qijie beside him, Gao Jie's matter hit him a lot, no matter what, he had to give an explanation to all the soldiers, otherwise what prestige did he have as a general, and he also wanted to find out the truth behind this, what was the situation in this matter.

"The general sent a military order, ordered Gao Jie to lead the army north to recover the land of Henan, Gao Jie is also actively preparing, three days ago led the army to arrive in Shangqiu, Gao ordered Xu Dingguo to lead the army to recover Ruzhou, but Xu Dingguo refused to obey the order, so Gao Jie personally went to urge Xu Dingguo to send troops, we have heard the rumors in advance, saying that Xu Dingguo has secretly contacted the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and secretly sent his son to Hebei, at that time we persuaded Gao Jie not to go, but led the army to surround Suizhou, first take Xu Dingguo and then enter the city, But Gao Jie despised Xu Dingguo, only with dozens of guards into the city, we followed into the city, that night Xu Dingguo led the army to raid us, I just went out of the city before the start of the war, and then I heard that Gao Jie died in battle, I immediately rushed to Kaifeng, first stabilized Gao Jie's soldiers and horses, just wait for the general to come back to call the shots! Yue Qijie also told Cao Bianjiao everything he knew at the moment, and he never missed a single thing.

"Xu Dingguo secretly sent his son to Hebei, there will be no wind in the air, it seems that he is determined to be a traitor, such a traitor is not removed, then how can we warn the world of martial arts, you immediately rushed to Kaifeng, tell Gao Jie's soldiers, let them come to Suizhou to meet, and you and Jin Shenghuan together, lead an army of 20,000 to take over the defense of Kaifeng."

"There is still something I want to ask the general, why do you want Gao Jie's men to come to converge, and then we will take over the city defense, isn't it too troublesome?" Yue Qijie also asked at the moment, but he really didn't understand.

"Gao Jie's men and horses are recruited and trained by him, loyal to him, and they respect Gao Jie, I am a general they may be in awe, but they don't have the kind of loyalty to Gao Jie, they want to take revenge, then I will let them take revenge, one is to stabilize the army's heart, and Kaifeng is very important, now that Gao Jie is dead, these people are difficult to control for a while, so let my own people go, so I am more at ease!"

Yue Qijie also understood at the moment, in fact, Cao Bianjiao also had another meaning, that is, he wanted to take the opportunity to weaken the strength of these people and preserve his strength, of course, Cao Bianjiao couldn't say this, although Yue Qijie was also promoted by him, he was not his confidant, he always had to keep a hand.

Soon, Jin Shenghuan also came to Cao Bianjiao's side and listened to Cao Bianjiao's military orders.

"Huchen, you take 20,000 soldiers, go to Kaifeng to take over the city defense, after arriving in Kaifeng, you must hurry up to repair the city defense, after Kaifeng was flooded last year, the city wall has been destroyed, Li Zicheng has not repaired, so you can only rely on yourself, Kaifeng has not many people live, I will settle the matter in Suizhou, arrange for the migrant population to go, in addition, you can also recruit some displaced people to settle in it, tell them that everything that moves to Kaifeng to settle down will be exempt from taxation within two years."

"The last general obeys the order, the marshal can rest assured, after the last general arrives over there, the first thing is to rush to repair the city wall of Kaifeng and deploy defense!" Jin Shenghuan also surrendered his fate, this is Cao Bianjiao gave him the opportunity to sit on the side, he naturally has to grasp it well, in this way, he will live up to Cao Bianjiao's trust and respect.

"Serve the court well, you have the ability, but you haven't had many opportunities, this time I will give you a chance, Kaifeng is a land, you should know, so the next thing is up to you."

"Thank you for cultivating!" Jin Shenghuan thanked him again.

Immediately after arriving in Bozhou, Jin Shenghuan led the army to turn west, and Cao Bianjiao continued to march north to avenge Gao Jie.
