"Yaoguan will write you a warrant out of the city to let you go out of the city to the capital to ask the court for help and cooperate with us to break through. The official believes that thousands of loyalists in the city will definitely believe you and let you out of the city."
"When the time comes, the officer needs to wear ordinary soldiers’ clothes to mix with everyone and follow them out of the city …"
"Want us to go out of the city and return to the capital, and then add people. These officials will surrender to levy the northern army and arrange these things as they want …"
"All right, get ready …"
The next day, just after dawn, Xu Guohou invited seven ministries to gather at the county yamen at the same time as if they had discussed it.
In the face of the closed door of the county hall, several faces showed puzzled expressions.
After waiting for half an hour, I didn’t hear the slightest movement of the county government. After several people realized that something was wrong, they would never be in the mood to directly order QinBing to break the door of the county government and rush into the county government.
What makes these ministries feel incredible is that there were more than 100 pro-Wei county governments stationed in Xu Guohou and Sineitai yesterday. At this moment, people have gone to the building and can’t see a figure.
Facing the unexpected picture, several departments rushed into the lobby and ordered QinBing to search the whole county government.
Soon Xu Guohou left them a letter and was searched out.
After reading the letter, several departments directly showed a look of shame and indignation.
The one with the worst temper will directly open his mouth to curse. "This Xu Guohou is so insidious that he thinks about himself at the first key moment …"
"Let’s these people are all his old brothers who sold their lives, and they threw us to the northern army without even saying hello. Doesn’t he know that leaving us here is a dead end …"
After seven people vented their anger in succession, one of the oldest generals spoke surprisingly, saying, "Don’t make any noise when it’s all right … it’s not a bad thing for us after Xu Guohou left."
"Don’t forget what this Xu Guohou is …"
"His identity may be like us to surrender to the northern army …"
"Under such circumstances, there is only one way for him to leave us if he wants to get angry …"
At this time, the general glanced at his colleagues with flashing eyes again and said sarcastically, "Not surprisingly, everyone should have made a decision to surrender to the northern army outside the city last night."
"Now that Xu Guohou is gone, no one will stop us from surrendering to the northern army?"
"So don’t call names …"
"Now the urgent delay is to call the brothers up and tell everyone about the situation and make a surrender decision before the northern army launches an attack, otherwise it will be too late."
Chapter four hundred and twenty-two Shocked in one’s hand
Just after half an hour, a white flag was blown to ruins and Chengtou rose.
At the same time, the county town was closed and the gate was opened.
A general with a white flag in his hand rode a horse straight to wait for a while and rushed to the military camp of Zhengbei Army.
Half an hour later, the troops laid down their weapons and loyalists began to walk out of the county in an orderly manner to surrender to the northern army.
At this moment, the northern army deliberately released water. After riding for three consecutive hours, Xu Guohou finally saw the towering walls of the capital.
Although there are still hundreds of miles away from the capital, the cautious court has taken the previous step to put the whole capital into a state of martial law
Xu Guohou, who was exhausted, just rushed to the gate of the capital and was surrounded by soldiers who gathered in Beijing in a hurry.
Then they were disarmed and escorted to the gate of the palace by these Beijing camp soldiers, waiting for Chongzhen to summon them …
Xu Guohou, a magnificent hall, just walked in and plopped down on his knees in the middle of the hall, then all colors are opposite to the Emperor Chongzhen and cried
"Positions … positions you can want to I make decision …"
"If I didn’t have the position to bless you, I might have turned into a corpse now and never see you again … Please give me a clean slate."
When I heard that, I was just about to ask Xu Guohou what he was AWOL before. At this time, Emperor Chongzhen returned to Beijing and directly asked him to swallow it back.
And then asked with a puzzled face …
"Give your family I really want to know what I want to give you family. You are a heavily armed court company commanders, and you will be wronged outside. Besides, I also want to know if you are afraid of attacking the rebels in Beijing without going to war with the rebels at the front …"
Emperor Chongzhen questioned Xu Guohou in a series of questions, but he still fought back his own fears and continued to cry at Emperor Chongzhen. "It’s not that I went back to Beijing without leave for fear of the rebels, but that I was almost cut off at the front line and sent to the rebels like this."
When I heard this, the puzzled expression on Chongzhen’s face became more conscious and asked, "I was cut off by the Ministry and sent to the rebels to like it … Don’t you tell thousands of soldiers to betray the court and betray me …"
When it comes to the last sentence, a trace of murderous look has emerged from Chongzhen.
A pair of eyes that can almost kill people stared at Xu Guohou before waiting for Xu Guohou’s answer.
At the same time, the faces of all the civil and military ministers in the court also showed a heartfelt shock expression. Everyone looked at Xu Guohou in the middle of the kneeling hall and waited for Xu Guohou’s answer.
Instantly feel great pressure Xu Guohou’s future and his family have to bite the bullet and affirm.
"Please make amends because I didn’t have a good commander in chief to persuade the soldiers to betray the court and betray you …"
After the inference in the heart is affirmed, Chongzhen’s face is as red as a slap in the face, and of course, anger from the heart is quickly emitted from the body.
In front of all the courtiers, I opened my mouth mercilessly and cursed
"Since all the ministries betrayed the court and betrayed me, why did you come back … don’t you know that you, the supreme commander, will be convicted together after the ministry has done something worse than rebellion?"
"Thousands of generals with armies can’t even control their own department. What face do you have when you come back to the imperial court? You have lost all your face. Come and drag him to the Xing Department for conviction according to law. I don’t want to see him now."
Kneeling in the hall, Xu Guohou thought that Chongzhen would get angry, but Xu Guohou didn’t think that Emperor Chongzhen’s anger would be so strong that he didn’t even give himself a chance to explain it.
Facing the door of the main hall, two big guards, Xu Guohou, came to him and hurriedly asked Emperor Chongzhen for mercy.
"Please pursue atonement … I risked my life to return to Beijing to report to the court for a reason …"
"What I have done is to go to court. It is definitely not my own selfish interests. Please listen to me and explain that I must give you a satisfactory explanation …"
When pleading with Emperor Chongzhen, Xu Guohou didn’t forget to wink at his friends in the hall and ask them to help him speak.
Xu Guohou eats soldiers’ blood every year and sends out silver for nothing. Two big guards just set up Xu Guohou to be dragged outside the hall, and a military attache of the same level came out directly.
Kneeling on one leg to the Emperor Chongzhen, he said, "Please calm down the old minister. We should give Xu Guohou an opportunity to explain what happened at the front. In addition, Xu Adults know that if Xu Adults are blamed, the court will not know the latest situation at the front."
"The old minister, let’s listen to Xu’s explanation before making a decision …"
The angry expression on Emperor Chongzhen’s face finally showed signs of dissipation at this moment.
After taking a deep breath, he ordered the guards in the hall, "You go first … I will listen to you today … If this Xu Guohou can give me a reasonable explanation, I will continue to pay attention to him, but if he Xu Guohou can’t give me an explanation, I will not only blame him, but his family will also be punished."
Xu Guohou didn’t miss this opportunity. Chongzhen and all courtiers watched as if they were on the scene. They would levy heavy artillery to kill the soldiers themselves. There was no room for them to fight back. How could the soldiers lose thousands of people in just half an hour … The picture was shown to everyone in the hall …
In the face of Xu Guohou’s on-the-spot appearance, no one in the hall doubted the truth of Xu Guohou’s statement.
Xu Guohou had just finished a breath when the hall rang, and everyone’s face showed a heartfelt expression of shock.
After the shock, a look of panic quickly enveloped their faces.
Because they were all frightened by the power of heavy artillery in Xu Guohou’s mouth.
They dare not imagine: with such a powerful heavy artillery, it is necessary to have enough shells to levy the northern army. Will the heavy artillery directly open the way and hit the foot of the capital?
At this time, a minister in the main hall asked, "My Lord, is your department going to cut off your head as a gift to surrender to the northern army because of fear of the powerful artillery of the northern army?"
Still kneeling in the center of the hall with a tearful expression, Xu Guohou looked grateful and quickly replied …
"It is these fears that the heavy artillery of the northern army is going to betray the imperial court. It is with this idea that I cut off my head and give it to the northern army as a gift …"
"Nai God has eyes and positions to bless me for discovering this conspiracy before …"
"In order to report the front-line battle to the court, let the court prepare for the heavy artillery of the northern army. I directly fought with less than 300 guards to fight the county seat …"
"In the end, there were less than one hundred and fifty people who succeeded in following me back to the capital to report to the court …"
"I want to tell the emperor that I am not afraid of death, but I don’t want to die in vain, even if I die, I will die and levy the northern army to fight the battlefield."
I heard that Chongzhen’s face anger disappeared completely and looked at Xu Guohou’s eyes without just murderous look.
Shocked by the powerful fighting capacity of the northern army, the tone was as calm as possible and said, "Xu Aiqing … get up. Now I believe that you are not going back to Beijing without leave for fear of death …"
With that, the calm face suddenly became serious and asked, "But I have to make a determination on this matter. It’s really as bad as you said … but it also has dozens of such powerful heavy guns …"
Against the chongzhen look at their eyes Xu Guohou big affirmation way
"It’s pursuit … I dare to guarantee my life …"
"Even the most powerful artillery we have equipped with Hongyi is not the heavy artillery opponent of the Northern Army."
With that, Xu Guohou, regardless of Emperor Chongzhen’s changing face again, continued to speak amazingly, adding, "I am a person who has really seen the power of this heavy artillery and almost died. I know this heavy artillery better than anyone else …"
"Because of this, I came back desperately to tell the positions that if the court can’t come up with specific countermeasures, the tens of thousands of troops in front of the court will definitely stop the northern army …"
Xu Guohou just said that there was a very noisy discussion outside the hall.
Emperor Chongzhen was just about to get angry, and a tired scout was dragged into the hall by two eunuchs …
