Seeing Xu Dingguo like this, although Gao Jie was resentful, there was nothing he could do.

Seeing that the door of the house was burned by fire, and the personal guards died in battle, Gao Jie's heart was like a knife, regretting not listening to Sun Chuanting's warning, and Xu Dingguo held a banquet last night, if he hadn't had a few more eyes and brought enough guards, Xu Dingguo's people broke out last night, and he would have been finished at that time.

When he was in a hurry, Li Chengdong, who had been guarding near the door of the house, strode over, half of the armor leaves on his body were stained with blood, and the heavy horse chopping knife in his hand also cut out a lot of gaps, he was Gao Jie's confidant, there was no need to be obscure, and he said as soon as he met: "Dashuai, don't panic, although the front door is broken, this house is heavy and heavy, and it is very grand, and it will have to be delayed for a while!" ”

Li Chengdong is a general under Gao Jie, and this time it was also a whim and brought him over. But fortunately, it was not more than 100 of Li Chengdong's personal soldiers, and this mansion had already been broken by Xu Dingguo's people.

Now that the situation is like this, Gao Jie, who has been "going" for more than ten years, also knows that it is more than lucky, so he nodded immediately and said, "Gather everyone together and rush to the damn." Alas, Lao Tzu regretted that he didn't listen to Inspector Sun, if he listened to him, why would it be so! Now that he is dead, he is also a fool, and in the history books in the future, Lao Tzu will definitely not have a good reputation! ”

"Dashuai, let's talk about these words later."

"Hell knows if there's a future."

"Before the end of the future, the Governor explained that it is enough to stick to it and wait for help."

Hearing this, Gao Jie's eyes lit up, and he strode up and stared at Li Chengdong silently.

Li Chengdong was shocked by his heart, and hurriedly said: "The last general doesn't dare to make friends with the superintendent in private, but he really called the last general to give orders, and the matter involves the safety of the commander, and the last general will not dare not listen." ”

"Well, that's fine."

Under Gao Jie's control, he was very harsh, and he himself was a rebel who betrayed Li Zicheng and escaped, so he was very suspicious and attentive in this regard.

Seeing that Li Chengdong's explanation was right, Gao Jie took a deep breath, and was about to say something more, when there was a sound of fighting and shouting in his ears.

Looking out further, I saw a large number of cavalry swarming around, and the subordinates of Xu Dingguo who besieged this mansion were rolled back, these knights were obviously elite, spears and halberds, and the Xu Dingguo troops who killed them could not resist the enemy.

"It's the Inspector's pro-army standard battalion here!"

At a glance, Gao Jie and Li Chengdong still didn't understand something, so they waved their hands together and shouted: "Kill out and meet Inspector Sun." ”

How did Xu Dingguo know that Sun Chuanting was coming? The layout of the city gate was originally just a defense, and there was no general to preside over at all, otherwise, it would not have been rushed in by Sun Chuanting, and now a large number of cavalry of the Governor Biao pro-army have been killed, all of them are the elite of the rest of the battle, from Guanzhong to fight the thieves with Sun Chuanting, and turn to fight thousands of miles, when it comes to the elite, where is the opponent of Xu Dingguo's subordinates.

At the moment, he killed and slashed, and then met with Gao Jie and others who were killed, and immediately defeated Xu Dingguo's department.

"Master Overseer!"

After the remnants of the enemy were cleared, the captives also knelt on the ground and did not dare to move, Gao Jie rushed to Sun Chuanting's horse, took off his robe, knelt in front of Sun Chuanting's horse naked, and kowtowed: "Gao Jie is guilty, please punish the superintendent heavily!" ”

In his capacity, he would not have been like this when he served under Sun Chuanting's subordinates two years ago, and no matter how strict Sun Chuanting was in governing the army, he could not punish the chief military officer by such means.

Immediately, he also jumped off the horse, supported Gao Jie, and said with a smile: "Why do you have to do this? Please put on your clothes and talk about it. ”

After speaking, he personally put on Gao Jie's robe.

Sun Chuanting was so generous, Gao Jie couldn't help but cry, because he said: "Gao Jie is unruly, and the wild surname is difficult to tame, why does the superintendent have such a patient surname, wait for Gao Jie to repent?" ”

This time Xu Dingguo's matter, Gao Jie also had an understanding at the moment of life and death. Xu Dingguo's rebellion seems to be related to some connivance, at least, it has nothing to do with this superintendent who is smiling and laughing with him, including the general soldier's position, station, and relationship with himself, step by step, and gradually counts himself in.

It's just that Xu Dingguo is his subordinate, and he is blind, so he has nothing to say at this level.

Moreover, people flew to the rescue and saved their lives. If you don't save it, although it is a little difficult to fight your own soldiers, it will take more effort.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt that this overseer had an unpredictable power, and Gao Jie no longer dared to have the slightest courage to disobey him.

He didn't know that Xu Dingguo's conclusion that he would rebel at both ends of the country was also secretly told by Zhu Cihong to Sun Chuanting, and in this matter, it did not have much to do with Sun Chuanting's personal ability.

"The general doesn't have to say much." Sun Chuanting's expression was also full of emotion, he looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Today, the deceased are all my Ming soldiers, the people work hard to grow food to feed you, weave cloth for you to wear, pay taxes to you and other envoys, can't protect the family and defend the country, aren't you ashamed?" Since then, the first line of Suizhou, Xuzhou, and Sizhou has been uniformly deployed by the officials, and the generals have been stationed in various places, and the training is just like the rules of His Royal Highness the Prince's garrison military town, and the salary and salary are also the same, General Gao, are you willing? ”

Here and now, is there still the choice of "unwillingness" for Gao Jie to choose?

At that moment, Gao Jie didn't speak, holding a long knife, and went to Xu Dingguo, who was dejected, carrying the other party's hair and cutting off his neck.

dyed with blood all over his body, he came back and knelt down, lifted his head and said: "If the last general doesn't listen to Lord Sima's orders, he will be Gao Jie in the future!" ”

The coach is like this, Li Chengdong and others also knelt down, and they all said: "I am willing to listen to the dispatch of adults!" ”

"It's not for the official." Sun Chuanting's face was very pleasant, and he laughed at everyone: "The generals are loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, and in military affairs, they are dispatched by the Generalissimo Mansion of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you understand?" ”

"Yes, the last general will understand!"

………… What happened in Suizhou this morning was nearly 400 miles apart, and in the evening, it had already been sent to the Generalissimo's Mansion by the Internal Affairs Bureau, and it was also handed over to Zhu Cihong.

At this moment, in Zhang Jiayu's rich Cantonese accent, he spoke eloquently, and when everyone listened, the candle flame in the room had already burned half, and it was obvious that he had been talking for a long time.

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Among the ministers, Chen Mingxia's reaction is second, and no one can be the first.

When everyone was still immersed in various emotions of joy and amazement, Chen Mingxia had already applauded and laughed: "In this way, Xu Huaiyang is one, and Xuzhou and Shandong are connected to a line, and the governor Zhu Dadian can rely on Xu Zhen without worrying about the future." And Xu Zhen reorganized the training, the strength is really strong, you can peep into Henan, retreat can protect the Sui and Si line, along the Yellow River, Huai River, heavy defense, the enemy from the north, must not be light. ”

With the map on the wall, and then Chen Mingxia's explanation, it is Gong Dingyu who does not know much about military civilian officials can see that Xu Zhen is really peaceful, plus the south of the Yellow River in Shandong is all recovered, the strategic situation in the north of Huaiyang has been very relaxed, looking at the north, the Yellow River and the Huai River two big rivers meander, in these critical places, echelon configuration garrison town army, the new army trained by the prince in Qingjiang can be strategic maneuver, the current situation, is already a perfect situation that can be attacked, retreat can be defended.

From Henan into Huaiyang, not through Guide, Sizhou to cross Huai, from the southeast of Shandong, also not through Xuzhou, and Suizhou to cross the river to the north, the most convenient.

Such a strategic area is, of course, ten times more than ten times more ideal than before.

When I think of fleeing, I feel precarious, and those who have experienced it can't help but feel a lot of emotion.

It is now July of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, only four months from the time of the escape in March, and now the Nanjing area is stable, although the upper reaches of Xiangyang, Jingzhou, Guide and other four prefectures are in the hands of Li Chuang, but there is Zuo Liangyu on the top, and Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo are stationed in Shou County on the line from Taiping Mansion to Luzhou downstream, and there are soldiers and horses such as Zhang Tianfu and Zhang Tianlu who are stationed along the Yangtze River, and the overall strategic situation is much more stable and powerful than in Yanjing.

"Chen Baishi is right."

The overall strategic situation has been improved, the training of troops has been successful, the three prefectures of Huaiyang and Xu are actually under control, and the reform of the military system in various localities is also in progress; this summer harvest, the taxes and grain paid by the two prefectures have exceeded 1 million stones, plus the original reserves, so much grain is enough to support the army's long-term training and warfare.

With plenty of food and a clear combing of local military towns, it's time to show its fangs!

Today, he summoned these henchmen and ministers over, that is, there was a major event, and Zhu Cihong himself was very difficult to decide.

Around October, Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Yechen would break through Chen Yongfu's defenses and conquer Taiyuan. Then Jiang Ping, Tang Tong and other Ming troops all surrendered.

When the time comes, Dorgon will have a very important strategic move.

For Li Zicheng, of course, it is a fierce pursuit, he will send the British king Azig, lead the king of Pingxi Wu Sangui and surrender to the Ming army, about 780,000 people, along the Shanxi into northern Shaanxi, to attack Li Zicheng.

And the other way, that is, by the Yu King Duoduo, led the Sanshun King and the banner soldiers and horses, the number of troops and Azig is about the same, this way the soldiers and horses will go south directly from Yanjing to Shandong, the goal is, of course, to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning of his entry into Beijing, Dolgon was already determined to entrench himself in Yanjing and never return to Shengjing.

But whether it can be mixed with Yuan Yiyu is still in doubt. Most likely, he wanted to restore the confrontation between Jin and the Southern Song Dynasty.

At that time, this was also the result of many people's minds.

As for whether there are similarities and differences between ancient and modern, many people don't understand.

In fact, Dolgon's strategy of dividing troops is very stupid, and later generations will credit this person for the Qing Dynasty's mixed yuan Yiyu, which is really laughable. His father and ancestor Liji, this person is only a little stronger in mind, and when it comes to means and strategic vision, he is really more than 108,000 miles worse than Huang Taiji.

In the face of the movements of the Qing army and Li Zicheng's movements, with Zhu Cihong's memory and the unremitting efforts of the Military Intelligence Department, it can be roughly clear.

Both sides will face a fierce battle, and Zhu Cihong will be around October, where will his sword go, and where will this big war that will determine the strategic state of the coming year, where should this fall in?
