    Gu Zhenhua brought Luan Hu to the main hall. The black boy looked around tremblingly, looking at the exquisite architecture of the mansion and couldn't help but admire it.  "Sire, you are very capable. I heard that you have been promoted again. I feel motivated to follow you." "Hey, I made a mistake too. I divided my forces well and planned well, but Uncle He Liu and the others were framed.  The treasures were all taken away, and the people were sent to prison. Tang Zhanxiong and the others were almost beheaded. " "Uncle Liu and the others were also in trouble? The country of Ming Dynasty is in a bad state. With these dog officials, there is no justice for the country.  "It's gone!" As he spoke, he reached the main hall and sat down. Gu Zhenhua hurriedly asked, "Tell me, how are the others? Are they in danger?" When asked, Luan Hu burst into tears.  The circles in my eyes were rolling and I couldn't help but cry.  "Sir, I betrayed your trust and failed to protect them well?" "Don't say it's useless, tell me quickly, are they still alive and how is their situation?" Luan Hu wiped his tears and told  In the past, he and Xu Fang took thirty people to protect their families as they headed south.  Along the way, we moved along the canal. Because there were many old, weak, women and children in the team, the speed was relatively slow.  Just as they were approaching southern Zhili, news of Li Zicheng's defeat came, and all the forces that had originally submitted to Li Zicheng became riotous.  Bandits, bandits, rebels from the Dashun Army, and armed landlords looted everywhere, and the area along the canal was the hardest hit area.  To be on the safe side, Xu Fang decided to go around Henan and enter Nanzhili from Guide Mansion.  "Sire, Mr. Xu also said that the situation in the world is exactly as you expected. As long as we arrive in Nanzhili and you come over, everyone will have a good life. But who knew that we would encounter a situation as soon as we entered the territory of Guide?  A group of troops arrived, and they robbed not only things, but also people. All the people they captured were tied together and sent to do hard work. We were small, so we were all captured. " "Who did this?  "Gu Zhenhua asked coldly.  "It's that old man Xu Dingguo. He sent all the looted people to Juzhou and Zhecheng to dig for coal." "Carbon!"  Isn't it just a small coal mine? Gu Zhenhua gritted his teeth suddenly. He was just about to make an idea for Xu Dingguo, but he didn't expect the old man to come to the door by himself, which happened to suit his wishes.  "Then, how did you escape?" "Reply to Sir, digging coal is not a job for humans. From morning to night, you can only sleep for two or three hours, and you can't finish the work, and you don't even get food to eat.  Almost people starved to death every day. I and a few brothers found an opportunity to kill two guards and escaped. We happened to encounter a group of bandits. They were also forced by the government and the people rebelled, and many of them had relatives.  They were all kidnapped to dig coal and build city walls and roads. I joined the team and prepared to work together to rescue them. " Luan Hu said, taking a sneak look at Gu Zhenhua, and couldn't help but ask: "Sir, I am.  You've been embarrassed by being trapped in a bandit's den. You won't blame me!" "Why should I praise you? How about you, were you rescued?" "No," Luan Hu said lonelyly.  We were robbed twice, but the old man's supervision became more and more strict, and more and more soldiers were stationed. We lost our troops and had to flee from Guide. We ran all the way to Nanzhili, where we heard about the Duke of Ji.  When I got here, I sent someone to inquire and found out it was you, so I came here." Luan Hu said, kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly.  "Sir, you have to think of a way. I worked for a few days and almost vomited blood. The old man also used it to death. No matter how good a young man is, he can't even hope to survive a year and a half. I'm afraid we will be here at this time."  People are exhausted to death!¡± Bang bang bang!  Luan Hu¡¯s forehead hit the ground, leaving a dazzling blood mark on the tiles.  Gu Zhenhua pulled him up, his face was as heavy as water, and a knife was already moving in his heart.  "We are all our own people, how can I not save it? Why is this old man Xu Dingguo working so hard to make coal? Do you want to sell it for money?" Luan Hu wiped his tears and gritted his teeth and said, "I asked,  The old man relied on his own money to support the army. When Li Zicheng came over, the old man secretly sold the coal to Li Zicheng to make iron for them. Now that Li Zicheng has retreated, the old man's business is even more prosperous.  "The number of absentees has increased several times." "Who did he sell the coal to?" "I heard it was shipped to Shandong?" Gu Zhenhua's fist was fierce.  It hit the table, causing the teapot and teacups to hit each other.  "Old man, you are looking for death! Come here, please bring Mr. Li and Mr. Luo over." After a while, the two old men came forward.Later, he walked over. In front was Li Jibo, followed by Luo Yangxing.  The leader of the Jinyiwei followed Gu Zhenhua all the way to Nanjing. He also hoped that Gu Zhenhua could release him. After all, he was also a high official in the court. Even if he could not regain his glory, he could still live comfortably.  Who knew that Gu Zhenhua had no such intention at all and directly showed his cards to him.  Officials have been through two dynasties and three dynasties, including intelligence chiefs and eunuchs in the inner court. They have mastered too many secrets. The first thing anyone in power will do when they come to power is to replace them.  The two paths before Luo Yangxing were either to be completely doomed, or to be honest and obedient and give advice to Gu Zhenhua.  Luo Yangxing weighed it again and again, and could only accept his fate and act as an aide.  Gu Zhenhua briefly explained the matter to them, and Luo Yangxing immediately smiled bitterly and said: "Officials of the Ming Dynasty, they respect themselves as bandits and have done a lot of colluding with bandits. This old guy Xu Dingguo is even more of an old loach, very slippery.  The Duke's judgment was correct. Hauge's army had already entered Shandong. The coal in Guide was very good and was good for making iron. The old man sold the stuff to the Tatars, which gave him a chance to survive.  Road, the Qing army is going south, and he will surrender immediately. " "Mr. Luo, you Jin Yiwei don't know how to keep an eye on this kind of moth. It's really shameful for the emperor to join the army!" Luo Yangxing laughed dryly: "Master Guo.  Since ancient times, most of the nine tribes have been killed, but I have killed ten tribes. No one has a clean butt. I, the leader of the Jinyiwei, am just a puppet!" Li Jibo frowned at the side and said: "Since Xu Dingguo and Tatar are  If we send troops directly, I'm afraid the old guy will jump over the wall. Besides, we still have many people in his hands. It would be dangerous to fight rashly. " Luo Yangxing also said:  "Even if we send troops there, we still don't know whether we can win. The old man has been operating in the Guide area of ??Juzhou for a long time and has tens of thousands of armed men. Although An'an is an elite man, he can't cover his head with his big hands!"  The two senior counselors both expressed their difficulties, and Gu Zhenhua also frowned and paced back and forth on the ground.  Luan Hu on the side was even more anxious and scratching his head.  "Sir, you can't ignore the big guy!" "Sir, of course I have to take care of it!" Gu Zhenhua said without hesitation: "The person must be rescued, and then the old thief can be captured with lightning speed.  . Otherwise, the Central Plains will be left with such a scourge, and the consequences will be endless." "Although this is true, Xu Dingguo is not a light-hearted person. If he feels that something is wrong, he will probably cross the Yellow River and join the Tatars." "So we must first stabilize.  Stay with me, old thief!" Gu Zhenhua said, "Let's see. Luan Hu pretends to be a bandit and breaks into Guide Mansion. In the name of banditry, I invite Xu Dingguo to join us in suppressing the bandits." Li Jibo said with a smile, "This is a good idea.  Since Xu Dingguo has contacts with the Tatars, and An'an is a thorn in the side of the Tatars, it will be troublesome if the old thief takes the opportunity to do something evil. Therefore, it is best not to enter Juzhou, but to trick the old man out of the city.  Get rid of him in one fell swoop! At the same time, let Luan Hu and others go to rescue people, and Li Xu can also follow. With the heavy cavalry camp, Xu Dingguo's mob is no problem. " Luo Yangxing also said: "Mr. Li's method.  Very good, but Xu Dingguo is arrogant and arrogant. He has scolded Gao Jie before and mocked him for being a bandit. To put it bluntly, the old man must be unconvinced by the sudden rise to a high position. " Gu Zhenhua thought.  He thought again and said: "It was my idea to divide the troops at first, but now I see that both groups are in trouble. I have to bear this mistake. As for whether the old guy is willing to come out or not, I have ways to deal with him. In the end, it's nothing.  It¡¯s just tens of thousands of pigs. This pisses us off. With only five battalions of veterans, I can defeat Guide!¡±  With this kind of energy, the country can still be at peace, let alone an old man named Xu Dingguo! " "Sir, you are so kind and righteous, and you are willing to take risks for us. This villain has shed a lot of blood in his life, but he has to go through fire and water for him!  "Luan Hu cried bitterly and prostrated himself on the ground.  "Rescuing people is like putting out fires. Gu Zhenhua did not dare to delay for a moment and immediately made deployment. A total of five battalions were used in this operation. Among them, Li Xu led the heavy cavalry battalion as the leader and followed Luan Hu.  Gu Zhenhua took one battalion with him, and Guo Yunlong and Zhou Yingjie took two cavalry and infantry battalions as the main force.  In addition, the first battalion of new recruits was also sent out. They were mainly responsible for escorting grain and grass along the Yellow River. In fact, it was also to train the new recruits.  After everything was arranged, the drama was staged according to the script. Luan Hu and Li Xu played a game of cat and mouse, chasing each other from Xuzhou to Guide.  "My lord, Battalion Commander Li has passed Mangdang Mountain with his troops and has arrived at Xiayi." Yue Polu reported to Gu Zhenhua.  SinceAfter reorganizing the army, Gu Zhenhua's prestige was completely established. They still called each other brothers in private, but in official business, they all addressed themselves to each other by title, no one was an exception.  "Well, then it's time for us to go meet Xu Dingguo. Send him a letter immediately and ask the old man to come and greet me!" While he was talking, a horse suddenly galloped over and delivered a chicken-feather letter to Gu Zhenhua's hand.  Gu Zhenhua just took a look, and his brows suddenly stood up, and his teeth chattered loudly.  "Old man, you are looking for death!" Gu Zhenhua said bitterly: "Brothers, take control of the ship first. When I arrive in Juzhou, it will not be too late to take action. In short, not a grain of food can be given to the Tatars." i1153
