Chapter 92 Xu Dingguo

The battle in Suizhou City became more and more intense. Although I didn't know whether Xingping Bo Gao Jie was dead or alive, Gao Jie's remaining power was still there, and Mrs. Xing still had fantasies with many people, so several generals including Li Benshen, Guo Hu, Li Chengdong, and Gao Jinku were attacking Suizhou City with all their might, trying to rescue Gao Jie from the city.

The thousands of troops of Xu Dingguo were also fighting to the death, and only Liu Yongxi's two thousand troops were watching all this quietly in Suizhou City.

But until now, whether it is a civil servant like Qian Weikun or a military general like Zhao Zhijie, he doesn't understand why Xu Ding's Congress took its own destruction at this time. Although he may have killed Gao Jie, his combat effectiveness of thousands of troops is completely different from that of Gao Jie's 20,000 troops, and the final outcome can only be a death sentence.

Qian Weikun, a scholar, had never seen such a dangerous situation, so he looked at Suizhou City carefully and said, "Although it is said that General Xu gave both sons to Jianlu as hostages, if he did this, he would probably lose all his men. What would he use to join Jianlu!"

Zhao Zhijie heard some gossip: "I heard that Xu Dingguo was from Ningling. When the thief Li Zicheng swept across the Central Plains, he slaughtered the Xu Dingguo family, but only Xu Dingguo survived. At that time, Xingpingbo was a general under Li Zicheng's command. Some even said that Xingpingbo slaughtered the Xu family at that time!"

After Zhao Zhijie said this, Qian Weikun felt that this possibility was not impossible: "Then Xingping Bo is too reckless. How could he not bring his troops into the city?"

Liu Yongxi interrupted Qian Weikun's speech: "Usually, three hundred clans are enough, not to mention Xu Dingguo's sweet words before, how could Xingping Bo think that he was actually ill-intentioned and even prepared to die together? Moreover, after Xu Dingguo's trouble, he had a confession of surrendering to Jianlu!"

In the chaotic times, civil officials like Qian Weikun knew that seizing force was the capital to settle down. Zuo Liangyu did not take the court seriously at all, but because he had more than 100,000 elite soldiers, the court not only had to appease Zuo Liangyu in every way, but also wanted to grant him the title of Ningnan Marquis.

But after such trouble, the thousands of soldiers and horses that Xu Dingguo had been operating for many years must be destroyed in Suizhou City. Why did Liu Yongxi say that he had a letter of surrender to Jianlu?

But the next moment Qian Weikun already understood: "Does Chengyi Bo mean Xingping Bo?"

Although the court did not provide much support, it still had high hopes for this Northern Expedition. Shi Kefa and Yue Qijie were all pushing forward the Northern Expedition. If this Northern Expedition could capture dozens of prefectures and counties, the situation of the Hongguang small court would also become better.

Now Xu Dingguo and Gao Jie are fighting both sides of the defeat. Not only will the Northern Expedition be over hastily ended, but the aftermath of Gao Jie's remaining troops will also become a big problem.

When Gao Jie was in full swing, he had times when he was not able to arrange the arrogant soldiers and generals under his command. Moreover, all the arrogant soldiers and generals under Gao Jie were not vegetarians. No matter Li Benshen, Hu Maozhen, Yang Chengzu, Guo Hu, and Gao Jinku would want to take the rest of Gao Jie in his hands.

Gao Jie's troops are the strongest among the four towns in Jiangbei. If the troops of Liu Yongxi, the general general of Linhuai Town, were calculated in the next system, there were almost 40,000 to 50,000 troops and tens of thousands of elite cavalry. Whoever controls this field army would be the second Xingping Bo Gao Jie.

But whether it is Li Benshen, Hu Maozhen, Yang Chengzu, Guo Hu or Gao Jinku, they are all real arrogant soldiers. Gao Jie still fails to dispatch them, let alone the general and deputy generals of the same level as them. The final outcome is that Gao Jie, the field army, collapsed in the internal strife.

And this is the situation that the Qing court is most willing to see. It is precisely because of this that Liu Yongxi said that Xu Dingguo had a letter of surrender to Jianlu: "Mr. Qian, the reason why he stopped moving tonight was to prepare to keep Xu Dingguo!"

Qian Weikun felt that Liu Yongxi was saying this very well. Although he was always kind and dared not move forward when encountering problems, he was known for his "talking about war": "Zhengyi Bo is saying it too well. As long as we keep Xu Dingguo, great things can be accomplished!"

Only Zhao Zhijie felt that things were not that lucky: "Zhengyi Bo, the biggest problem now lies with Xingping Bo, if he is still alive!"

Liu Yongxi laughed: "If Xingpingbo is alive, we will just go for nothing, but Xingpingbo is dead!"

Although Liu Yongxi did not say it in detail, Zhao Zhijie and Qian Weikun both understood what he meant. Qian Weikun even said viciously: "It seems that not only Xingpingbo is going to die for his country today, but Xu Dingguo can only be dead!"

The battle in Suizhou City continued. Xu Dingguo's nephew Xu Si personally supervised the battle at the top of the city wall, and finally drove Gao Jie's army, who had launched a hasty attack overnight, off the city wall. However, the combat effectiveness of Xu Dingguo's troops was not on the same level as that of Gao Jie's army. Now there was a screaming situation everywhere on the city wall. Everyone felt that although they could block one or two rounds of attacks, there would be no way to fully attack after dawn.

Therefore, all aspects asked Xu Si for help, hoping that Xu Dingguo could send more troops to support him. Xu Si shouted loudly: "Stay, as long as you keep it, there is a way!"

But Xu Si is the most desperate person. Although he asked everyone to keep it, he didn't know how to defend Suizhou City.

There was Gao Jie's army of 30,000 to 40,000 tigers and wolves under the city, and Xu Dingguo's troops had lost thousands of troops today. Just to solve the problem of the 300 clans brought to the city by Gao Jie, five or six hundred people were killed or injured. The most capable elites had lost one third. What was even more desperate is that Xu Dingguo, the chief general, is no longer in Suizhou City.

Xu Dingguo had already run away with dozens of servants. Before running, he entrusted Xu Si the responsibility of defending the city. He also swears: "I cross the river and ask Prince Su Haoge for help. Prince Su has agreed to send 60,000 troops to support our Sui City. As long as you defend Suizhou, there is a way!"

But the problem is that Xu Dingguo took away dozens of the most elite servants, and the city was under the army of Gao Jie, who was eyeing him. Xu Si really didn't know how to defend Suizhou City!

But Xu Dingguo felt different. He felt that it was a good opportunity to leave Suizhou now. After Gao Jie's death, the 20,000 troops were staring at Suizhou City and attacking fiercely, so naturally he didn't care about him, the culprit.

He only had sixty servants around him, but these sixty servants were all elite cavalry among the elite cavalry and he fed them with silver, so he was worried about any accident.

On the contrary, he felt like a dragon returned to the sea and the sea birds entered the forest.
