Chapter 843 A Heartfelt Smile

There was already a slight chill on the riverside at night in October. For Li Hualong, it was not only the body that was cold, but also the heart.

In any case, he never thought that he would face such a situation.

Chai Guozhu looked at him calmly.

"Governor Li, where did you get so much prejudice against military generals? Or, why do you literati always look down on military generals so much? Are military generals really so despicable? Can't do a single good thing? Civil servants do it. Everything is right, and what the generals do is all wrong?
Civilian coups are called reshaping the dynasty, and military generals do a little bit of rebellion. Why?Xiao Jixin was dedicated to serving the country and being the emperor, so why did she become a traitor and was killed by Shen Yiguan? "

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

A group of unlucky people lost their lives in such a vague way. They didn't know who killed them or why they were killed, because everything happened so suddenly.

The shouts of killing sounded, Li Hualong hadn't figured out the situation yet, but his own side actually started killing, and he didn't know who killed who, anyway, they just started killing, a group of people killed together, and there were screams everywhere and whoops.

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

The flames are so dazzling in the night.

Li Hualong suddenly thought of a very scary possibility.

"Chai... Chai Guozhu!! What are you doing? Do you know what you are doing?!"

Li Hualong shouted excitedly.

Chai Guozhu looked at Li Hualong calmly, without any fluctuation on his face.

"Of course I know. Of course I know what I'm doing. I'm doing what I'm supposed to do. Governor Li. To put it simply, I'm a general. How can I help civil servants instead of military generals?"

Li Hualong's face was full of horror.

"You... when did you collude with the rebels?"

"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 Wang Shi. They promised me that they will cooperate with my actions tonight. They should have set off now. Coming soon, look."

Chai Guozhu pointed to the other side of the river, and Li Hualong turned his head. Suddenly, a burst of flames lit up on the river, illuminating an unknown number of warships of the Zhennan Army, and they were coming this way aggressively.

"More than that, my subordinates are basically willing to help me. As long as I capture you and Governor Li, everything will be fine. Now there are also my subordinates who are in charge of Yangzhou city defense, except for the thousands of trash Except for the soldiers in the guard and those soldiers in the Beijing camp, everything is under my control.

Governor Li, you didn't expect that, did you?The general launched a ruthless attack. It was really powerful. Shen Yiguan pushed Xiao Jixin back, and Xiao Jixin swept half of Jiangnan. Soon, it will be the whole of Jiangnan, and then the whole of Ming Dynasty. How about you?What can you do? "

Under the light of the fire, Li Hualong's expression was wonderful, as if angry, as if frightened, as if collapsed, as if laughing.

"Chai Guozhu...you...you are rebelling...you are rebelling!!!"

"Rebellion? Maybe! But so what? As long as we hit the capital and kill Shen Yiguan, who is the rebel, isn't it up to us? Right, Governor Li?"

Li Hualong suddenly had nothing to say.

He could only watch helplessly that everything was galloping in an uncontrollable direction, and everything was galloping in a more powerful direction towards Xiao Ruxun, but he couldn't do anything.

That night, Yangzhou City was taken by the Zhennan Army navy, and it was taken peacefully, without firing a single shot and killing a guard soldier.

The more than 6000 guard soldiers did not do anything to resist at all, they simply knelt on the ground and surrendered, just looking for a way out, the Jingying soldiers were defeated after being raided by the Jizhen soldiers, most of them surrendered, and a few were killed. Only a handful of people escaped along the north side.

The magistrate of Yangzhou was killed in the rebellion, and the Tongzhi of Yangzhou was captured alive. None of the officials brought by Li Hualong and the officials of Yangzhou escaped, and all were captured.

The large amount of military materials hoarded in the entire Yangzhou were all returned to Jiang Dahai, which fattened Jiang Dahai, and the road to the north was opened up. At this moment, Jiang Dahai even believed that he could lead troops north to attack the capital directly.

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

When Chai Guozhu took the initiative to send someone to approach Jiang Dahai, he still felt a little unbelievable. If the gap in strength caused him to surrender, it would be more credible. The town soldiers really did it face to face, only daring to keep harassing him on the water.

However, Chai Guozhu said that he could gather Jizhen soldiers for Xiao Ruxun's use. This situation is different. If the Jizhen soldiers turn against each other, there will only be more than 1 people in Yangzhou who can still listen to Li Hualong's command. How much chance is this?

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

Throughout the night, Jiang Dahai stood on the edge of the river and looked at the opposite bank with binoculars until he saw five torches shaking. The guy decided to go all in on it.

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

He is very afraid of Li Hualong, his entire team, and more than 4 Jizhen elites.

Now the imperial court in the north really has no way out. The last large-scale strategic main force was annihilated, the main body directly defected, and the coach Li Hualong was captured alive. What a crash.

"Chai Zongbing, thank you for your deep understanding of righteousness. In this way, the overall situation is settled, and the Shen thief is powerless!"

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

"Admiral Jiang has praised you. Chai just couldn't see the perverse actions of people like Shen Thief and Li Hualong, so he decided to surrender. I hope Admiral Jiang doesn't care about the fight between our two armies."

Chai Guozhu seemed a little worried.

Jiang Dahai laughed.

"Things that didn't exist, each was their own master at that time, and now we are in the same boat. Zongbing Chai is still an old subordinate of Marshal Xiao. He fought together. If Marshal Xiao knew that Zongbing Chai had turned from the dark to the bright, he would be so happy. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Hearing what Jiang Dahai said, Chai Guozhu let go of his nervousness, and a sincere smile appeared on his face.
