Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

A few galloping war horses went straight to Juzhou, the hot weather, the war horses were sweating, but the knights didn't know how to cherish it, and they were still beating desperately.

The war horse galloped like lightning, and the merchants and pedestrians at the gate of the city were hit into a large area, and in the shouting and scolding of the crowd, these horsemen went all the way to the general army residence, and in front of the gate, they restrained the war horse and jumped down.

At the corner gate of the official residence, there were already family members waiting here, and the knight was introduced into the second courtyard. In the courtyard of Erdao, there is an old man with a gray beard, waiting here. I saw that he was half a head taller than ordinary people, with a burly figure, a red face full of light, and a voice like a bell, very majestic. He is Xu Dingguo, the chief soldier of Henan!

"Mr. Gao, you have worked hard all the way, how is it that Scholar Hong?"

"Okay, of course, it's good, the virtuous ministers meet the heroes, show their talents, build eternal achievements, and hold the authority of the world, isn't this exactly what the big husband did?"

"It's extreme, it's extreme!" Xu Dingguo said with a smile: "It seems that Scholar Hong is really wise and wise, and he has seen the right time." ”

"Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters. General Xu has tens of thousands of troops in his hands, standing in the Central Plains, and the world looks up. It's just that the Southern Ming Dynasty is mediocre and doesn't know how to use virtuous ministers, and Scholar Hong is also unwilling to be the head of the town! ”

When Xu Dingguo heard this, the flesh on his face suddenly twitched. The Mr. Gao in front of him is Hong Chengchou's master, who was originally from Shaoxing and has followed Hong Chengchou for many years.

Master Shaoxing, between the Ming and Qing dynasties, is also a famous name, and it is a gold-lettered signboard. This master Gao is also Hong Chengchou's confidant, since Dolgon came to power, he has paid more attention to Hanchen, Hong Chengchou has been promoted to a scholar of the Secretarial Academy, and he is a Han prime minister.

Hong Chengchou, who became a big official, naturally worked harder for the Manchu masters, and won over the ministers of the Southern Ming Dynasty everywhere, divided and collapsed, and did it very skillfully, and Xu Dingguo also became the target of key attacks. This time, Master Gao came over. On the one hand, it is to strengthen cooperation, and on the other hand, it wants to win over Xu Dingguo.

And Xu Dingguo was not convinced and resentful, and established the four towns of Jiangbei, without his share. Zuo Liangyu was made a marquis, after all, he was a general, and he recognized the old thing. But Gu Zhenhua, a guy who was originally unknown, suddenly rose to the high position of a duke. He also allowed the opening of the government and the construction of teeth, and the governor of the Central Plains military affairs. Where did he put himself, the general soldier of Henan, and did he still make a promise in the eyes of the imperial court?

The old thing was angry, of course, he wouldn't complain to Master Gao as soon as they met, he just smiled deliberately and diverted the topic: "Mr. Gao." Sit down in the room, let's get down to business first. ”

Master Gao also saw Xu Dingguo's vacillation, it was not beautiful to force it too hard at this time, so Master Gao also smiled: "Lord Zongzhen, there is something to ask for." ”

After entering the main hall, Master Gao took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and sent them to Xu Dingguo with a smile.

"Lord Chieftown. This is 200,000 taels of silver, temporarily as a deposit, please take it. ”

"W-what's so embarrassing?" Although the old thing said it, his eyes were full of eyes, and a pair of big hands had been pressed on the silver ticket.

Master Gao smiled quietly: "Lord Zongzhen, this time I hope you can provide 200,000 quintals of grain and 300,000 quintals of smokeless coal. In addition, there are medicinal herbs, horns, silk and other materials. ”

"Don't worry, the old man will do his best. I just don't know why you want so much food at once? ”

"Hey, it's not that someone deliberately set fire to Tongzhou and Tianjin, and distributed the grain to the ordinary people, in order to recover the grain. It's hard to put into words. ”

"Who did this, and why is the heart so insidious?" Xu Dingguo didn't know anything. The common people regard the grain as their life, and after they are divided. If you want to snatch it back, if you don't kill a corpse all over the field and blood flowing, you can't do it at all.

"Isn't it that Gu Zhenhua of An **, I heard that he has been sealed as the Duke of Jiguo. Xu Zongzhen, tell you the truth, this person has already registered with the regent, you must get rid of it, as long as Gu Zhenhua's head can be sent to the capital, the regent agrees, and directly confers the title of this person. ”

When Xu Dingguo heard this, he was also shocked, he didn't expect Gu Zhenhua to be so hated, a head would be so valuable!

The old thing just flashed in his mind and engraved it in his heart, and then he said with a smile: "Mr. Gao, don't worry, it's not the first time to trade, the old man must do it properly!" ”

After Xu Dingguo agreed, he immediately arranged for people to collect grain, arranged for ships to transport it, and lived for more than ten days before the old thing reluctantly sent the grain out.

The old thing leaned back on the chaise longue and sipped tea gracefully.

"Boss, the ship is almost in Xuzhou, right?"

The eldest son Xu Er'an said with a smile: "Dad, according to the time, it should have entered the territory of Shandong, this transaction is done, we will make a net profit of fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver, which is almost worth three months' salary." ”

"Hahaha, okay, there will only be more and more things to ask for in the future after the Manchu Dynasty, you all arrange it well, and rely on this money to raise soldiers!"

"Dad, it's a big deal!"

When the old thing was proud, the second son Xu Erji ran in in a panic and said breathlessly: "Dad, this is an official document sent by General Jianwei's mansion." ”

"Hmph, what bullshit General Jianwei is, he's just a hairy boy!"

Xu Dingguo took the official document, unfolded it, and immediately gritted his teeth and scolded: "I don't know any shame, I dare to order the old man to help him suppress the bandits, the old man is not an **'s slave, if you want me to transfer troops, you can also bring the silver and food, otherwise the old man will definitely not send a soldier." ”

"You're always right, I'll go and reply to Gu Zhenhua now."

"Wait." Xu Dingguo stopped his second son, frowned, and thought for a long time before saying: "The letter said that he had come to Henan in person and wanted to visit his father." Anyway, Gu Zhenhua is still in the name of the prince, don't fall out, for my father, I want to see what is so great about this hairy boy! ”

In a blink of an eye, on the third day, Gu Zhenhua finally arrived in Juzhou with a battalion of men and horses, and Xu Dingguo also took his two sons to meet him outside the city in person.

Gu Zhenhua and Yue Poyu also met Xu Dingguo for the first time, the old guy is burly, and the two sons are also tall and tough, if they don't know the inside story, they will be considered heroes.

"Blind with a pair of skins, he actually sold it to Tartar grain, it is simply impossible to kill!" Yue Poyu muttered.

Gu Zhenhua's face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Don't talk, we save people." ”

Gu Zhenhua said. Urging the war horse, he ran over to meet Xu Dingguo, and when he was far away, he smiled and gave his hand.

"Old General Xu, this lord is reckless when he comes, and he also invites the old general Haihan."

Xu Dingguo and his two sons were also observing Gu Zhenhua, the cutting-edge Jiguo Gong was taller than their grandfather. The shoulders are broader, the facial features are handsome, the nose is high and the mouth is wide, the eyes are full of brilliance, and the bearing is extraordinary.

Xu Dingguo glanced at it a few times, and couldn't help but nod. What a man!

"Xu Dingguo, the general soldier of Henan, has seen the Duke of Ji Guo, General Jianwei."

"Old General Xu, you are a senior in the army, the Central Plains resisted, don't be so polite."

The two exchanged a few words, and Xu Dingguo led Gu Zhenhua. went straight to Luoxue Academy, which was originally the old residence of Yuan Keli, the secretary of the Ministry of War, with grand regulations and exquisite architecture, which was where Gu Zhenhua stayed.

Along the way, the two of them talked and laughed, as if they were old friends, but Xu Dingguo deliberately led Gu Zhenhua by half a horse, completely ignoring the dignity of the two people.

"Old general. After Benjue arrived in Xuzhou, there were many bandits in the place, robbing the people, and doing all kinds of evil. A large number of men were sent to exterminate them, but the thieves were cunning, and our side increased the intensity of strangulation, and they retreated to Guide. As soon as the army retreated, they came again. Therefore, I had to come to the old general, hoping that we would join forces and deal with the thieves together. ”

"Huh. Grandpa Guo, you are saying that we are a den of bandits in Henan. ”

"Don't dare, Ben Jue just thinks that he is an official and keeps one party safe. I don't think the old general will shirk it! ”

Xu Dingguo rolled his eyelids, and suddenly sneered: "The old man naturally won't shirk, but it's not unusual to send troops, and he needs money, food, and ordnance." Over the years, the Henan soldiers have also owed too much, if the prince can allocate 500,000 taels of silver, the old man will never say a word. ”

"The old general laughed, the money and grain were allocated by the imperial court, even if I wanted to, I didn't have it, and besides, it was just a few thieves, so I didn't need to mobilize the people."

"Since he is a thief, how is Guogong going to kill him?"

Gu Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Old general, you sent two thousand men and horses to cross the command of An**, and we joined forces to launch a bandit suppression operation between Henan and Nanzhili, what do you think?" ”

"No way!" Xu Dingguo refused without hesitation: "The old man's subordinates are all soldiers in the mountains and fields, and they don't obey the control, so they don't dare to send them to the grandfather of the country rashly." ”

"Then you might as well let Ling Gongzi take the lead, as long as you cooperate with the bandits!"

The two of them said that they had arrived at the front of Luoxue Academy, the color on Xu Dingguo's face was quite unpleasant, Gu Zhenhua came up and begged for soldiers and horses, that was his life, and he definitely couldn't agree.

Xu Dingguo sneered: "Grandpa Guo, although you are a high-ranking lord, the old man has the responsibility to guard the land, and it is not a problem to deal with a few thieves." The bandits in Henan don't need you to bother, the old man has his own way, you better manage Xuzhou. ”

Xu Dingguo said, jumped off the war horse, and in front of the academy, there was a bronze tripod that had been prepared a long time ago. Xu Dingguo walked in front of Da Ding in a few steps, grabbed Da Ding with one hand, and looked up to the sky and laughed.

"In ancient times, there was a lot of honesty, eighty did not accept the old, although Xu Mou is seventy today, but his muscles and bones are strong, and he can still keep one party safe!"

Xu Dingguo said, clasped Dading with both hands, exerted his arms, and shouted: "Get up!" ”

Four or five hundred catties of Dading gradually left the ground, Xu Er'an, Xu Erji two people looked at it, and immediately thundered with joy and applause.

"Daddy is mighty, and his divine power is overwhelming!"

Xu Dingguo lifted Dading above his head, held it for three seconds, and then fell to the ground. stared at Gu Zhenhua breathlessly, and sneered: "The old man's skills are not bad, Grandpa Guo is willing to teach one or two!" ”

Gu Zhenhua didn't care, and laughed loudly: "Old general, what's so difficult about this!" As he spoke, he strode to the front of the copper tripod.

"Old general, how about betting a little bit on the lottery, if Ben Jue is lucky enough to win, you will give me two thousand soldiers, are you willing?"
