Xuzhou City.
It can be said bluntly that the people of Xuzhou have no nostalgia for Gao Jie at all.
Unrestrained military discipline and arbitrary and extortionate behavior made Gao Jie unpopular.
The scorching heat of summer has made the already sparsely populated streets even more empty, with scattered pedestrians also in a hurry.
Riding a horse, Chu Yu looked around, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh: "The people's livelihood is in such a difficult situation!"
After saying that, he had no choice but to go to a restaurant and asked for a private room.
In a blink of an eye, all the dishes were served.
While he was drinking, several people gathered in the box.
"Why, talk after you're full."
Chu Yu devoured the dishes, poured a glass of wine from time to time, and enjoyed his meal very happily.
At this point, everyone had no choice but to eat.
After a long time, Chu Yu stopped his bowl and chopsticks and said, "I have been in Xuzhou for many days, and I haven't seen you for a long time."
"Baihu is very busy, of course we know."
Everyone spoke one after another.
“Being busy is no excuse!”
Chu Yu shook his head and said seriously: "I'm really exhausted."
As he spoke, he drank another glass of wine and sighed: "To this day, I have achieved some success."
Now, the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"What did Baihu call us to do this time?"
When Chu Yu heard this, his brows jumped and he said, "Although the imperial court conferred Gao Jie the title of Marquis of Ying, you should not take it lightly."
"He has always been unruly and unruly. There are often rumors that he is dissatisfied with the title of Marquis and speaks out without hesitation. Now that the enemy is facing us, if he returns to the Manchus, there will be endless troubles."
As the saying goes, if you guard the river, you must guard the Huaihe River.
Xuzhou, Suzhou, Shouxian and other places are still in the hands of Gao Jie. If there is any loss, the Huaihe River will not be protected.
In this way, there is no danger to defend the Huanghuai Plain.
Therefore, the so-called Yinghou is a test for Gao Jie.
Obviously, Gao Jie's dissatisfaction, coupled with his unruly past, was enough for the Search Section to make a prediction:
Once there is a war, Gao Jie will most likely surrender.
"Order--"
Suddenly, Chu Yu shouted low, stood up with a serious expression, and his eyes were like nails, shooting at several people.
Crash--
Several people stood up quickly, lowered their heads, bent down, and concentrated their breath.
"Order, hundreds of households of Chu Yu, and the people of Xuzhou to disperse Gao Jie's deployment at all costs, and cooperate with Huangzhou Bo (Xiang Hui Deng) to go north..."
"Commander of the Jin Yiwei: Sun Changzhou——"
"Jinyiwei?" Several people were shocked, their faces full of disbelief.
How come the good search department turned into a royal guard?
"This happened a while ago!"
Chu Yu sat down with a smile and said softly: "Your Majesty merged the search department into the Jinyi Guards. From now on, you and I are all Jinyi Guards."
"I am still a Hundred Households, and your trial Hundred Households, the general banner remains unchanged."
The search department's organizational structure is originally based on Jinyiwei, so it's almost enough to change the sign.
"In addition, according to the news, Commander Sun was granted the title of Xixiangzi by His Majesty, and he said that any Jin Yiwei who has made great achievements will not be stingy with the reward of the title."
At this time, Chu Yu immediately felt that several people were breathing rapidly.
He smiled inwardly, with this piece of meat hanging in front of him, who wouldn't want to work hard?
Even he was personally informed that as long as he captured Gao Jie, he would be able to become a baron.
After a few words, this simple meeting was dissolved.
"Damn it, it's really hot today."
After returning from the military camp, Qin Dapeng was so hot that he was sweating. He took off his upper body and started to bite the watermelon soaked in the well water.
After a while, a servant reported: "General Shen wants to see you!"
"Let him come over."
Qin Dapeng was stunned and thought for a while before speaking.
After a while, I saw Shen Bao walking over with a big smile on his back. Before anyone arrived, the voice had already arrived:
"Brother Qin, I sent someone to look for you to have a drink this morning. Why are you nowhere to be seen?"
"I don't sleep on women's bellies every day like you do, but now I go to the military camp."
Qin Dapeng shook his head and cursed with a smile: "Those monkeys will make a mess if left alone for a few days. They are worse than those bandits."
"If there is a fight in the future, there will be nowhere to run."
"Fight? Who?"
At this time, Qin Dapeng noticed that there was a follower beside Shen Bao, and his face turned out to be Cao Hu, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Why did you come here secretly?"
Qin Dapeng was surprised. His life over the years had made him realize that there was something big going on.
"Fight the Manchus, Nanjing, or Xuzhou?"
There was a smile on Cao Hu's mouth, but his eyes were full of fire.
These words instantly solidified the atmosphere.
Several of them were Huang Liangzuo's men. They had no choice but to surrender to Gao Jie. Now, although they are receiving military pay and training their troops, it is difficult for them to settle down.
Without him, Gao Jie was not close to him. He only trusted the Shaanxi disciples who had followed him for many years. He was even more afraid of them, the generals who had been surrendered.
Cao Hu was very courageous. He directly picked up half a piece of watermelon on the table and ate it. A large number of watermelon seeds fell to the ground:
"This food and money is like watermelon. If someone eats one more bite, we will lose one bite."
"Especially for us outsiders, grandma doesn't care and uncle doesn't love us."
Qin Dapeng narrowed his eyes, watching the two of them come prepared, and said in a deep voice: "Now that things have happened, do you two still have something to hide from me?"
"Hahaha!" Shen Bao laughed, breaking the awkward atmosphere:
"Brother Qin, I won't hide it from you. Nanjing sent someone to convey the message. As long as we are dispatched when necessary, you must at least be a general soldier."
"When did the general become so worthless?"
Qin Dapeng sighed after hearing this.
The leap from guerrilla to general soldier is a huge one.
But equally, there is a more dangerous mission hidden in the huge bait.
"This is not a matter of official position!"
Cao Hu gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Not to mention Gao Jie's sneak attack and killed Uncle Liu, let's just say that his uneven rewards and punishments continue to weaken our military strength.
If there is no military strength in troubled times, isn't death just around the corner? "
Qin Dapeng was stunned and fell into deep thought.
Shen Bao also hurriedly persuaded: "The emperor is the orthodox Ming Dynasty. It is natural for us to submit to him. At the same time, we can avenge my uncle. It kills two birds with one stone. Why not?"
"How many of us are there?"
Qin Dapeng raised his head, his eyes full of sparkle.
"A lot of people have gathered in the past few days. All together, there are only twenty or thirty thousand people."
Shen Bao said helplessly: "Gao Jie is really hateful. He blatantly weakens us and is really cruel."
"This few soldiers are far from enough!"
Qin Dapeng paced back and forth: "Tell the people in the court that the soldiers and horses under Gao Jie's command must also be bribed."
"We can't do it alone. It would be death."
"Besides, I want to see Chu Yu——"
Shen and Cao were shocked.
This is to seize the initiative!
