As the war drums sounded, the largest Phoenix Restaurant in the ancient city suddenly became popular.

As the fire broke out, the civilians on the wall of the ancient city suddenly launched an attack, and in a blink of an eye all the Qing soldiers they had deliberately surrounded in advance.

And just before the Green Camp officers and soldiers understood the situation, some Green Camp officers and soldiers also waved their swords and guns and forced them directly: "Don't move, squat down obediently."

When everyone saw that the Qing soldiers were dead, which one still moved? So they obediently threw down their weapons and surrendered.

At this time, a fiery red Ming flag rose on the top of the city, and countless civil servants cheered: "Welcome the king's army into the city."

With the cheers, the three gates of the ancient city slowly opened. The first person walked out bald and barefoot, which was Boss Cao.

Wang Xuejun came forward from afar and praised loudly: "Brothers of Cao Gang, they are indeed a hero. I have just accepted the appointment of the court and made such a great contribution. I am glad to you. I should ask for me."

Boss Cao laughed, but he did not stop at the world where he was originally with Wang Xuejun, but became polite: "The prince praised him for his work for Tianji Mansion, how dare he not do his best?"

Wang Xuejun grabbed him: "Oh, why are Brother Cao so polite? This is a loss of friendship between you and me."

Boss Cao immediately replied: "Now we are your subordinates, and the upper and lower levels are still something to be said. Please ask the prince to lead his troops into the city and accept the green camp to surrender."

Wang Xuejun was not polite, and immediately rushed into the city with the tide.

As soon as they entered the city, many gang leaders came to pay their respects. They did not follow their wealth and honor, but strictly ranked them according to their status in the gang.

A beggar at present was actually given to him by several merchants and uncles.

Of course, Wang Xuejun did not use his clothes and hats to judge others, and was also polite to these people.

A group of officers from the green camp were dejected and followed a few arrogant officers and colleagues. When they saw Wang Xuejun, they all knelt down: "Subs and wait to meet the Regent."

Wang Xuejun quickly pulled them up: "I will return after losing my way, and I will win the city in the first battle, and I will be rewarded."

Then he said to them: "There are many rules for joining the Shandong Army. If you are willing to join, I will give you a place. If you are unwilling to join, I will be the size of the officer, each with a hundred yuan acres of a thousand yuan. Soldiers will not distinguish between old and weak, and each with five yuan rewards."

Regardless of whether they stay or not, everyone made money first, which immediately attracted cheers.

The Phoenix Tower has burned down, but the backyard is still complete and the chef is still there, so of course the banquet is going to be held.

At the banquet, Wang Xuejun announced: "The losses of Phoenix Tower will be compensated immediately by Tianji Mansion. The Cao Gangs who participated in the war this time will be rewarded regardless of their level, regardless of their level. Brother Cao is also asked to send someone to verify and report it."

Wang Xuejun spoke up with Brother Cao at once, which made Boss Cao very reserved, but very proud. Even the gang members were excited and whispered: "Our Boss Cao and the Regent are brothers, so some of them are talking about it now."

Then he said apologetically to everyone: "Due to the situation, we need to do our best to rescue Yangzhou, and we cannot leave troops to help guard the ancient city. Only after we rescue Yangzhou can we recover these areas. Therefore, we have to aggrieved you, especially to make things difficult for those brothers from the original Green Camp."

This is something that everyone expected, so everyone was not disappointed.

"However, the performance of the Green Camp will be retaliated by the Qing army. So I am ready to take you with me if I am willing to follow my army south, but don't worry, I promise that I will never let you take the lead, and only ask you to help the army with logistics. What do you think?"

When they heard that Wang Xuejun was so considerate, the green camps that were afraid of being retaliated by the Qing army in the future were extremely moved at that time and demanded to follow the army south.

"It is best for the people in the city to hide from the four townships first. But don't worry, as long as I rescue Yangzhou, I will lead a large army to sweep the Xuhuai prefectures, recover the lost land, and return peace to everyone."

With such a promise, everyone expressed their compliance.

Time is tight, so I won’t leave any more, because there is still a real hard bone in front of me, that is, the throat of the canal, Huai'an Gaoyou, waiting to chew it on myself.

Now, Wang Xuejun has been marching for half a month. It is only half a month before the fall of Yangzhou in history, and the speed must be accelerated.

But Huai'an is Liu Zeqing's old nest, so there is no need to choose the generals, Liu Zeqing will definitely defend the battle to the death.

Gaoyou is the gateway to Yangzhou, and Duozhe will also send troops to defend it.

"If Huai'an takes it, he will no longer give up. He will leave behind a thousand soldiers and lead the 10,000 green camp defense he just received."

This is the purpose of Wang Xuejun taking the green camp south to prevent revenge by the Qing Dynasty.

These green camps are not capable of fighting, but after this rebellion, even if the Qing Dynasty arrives again, they will not have the chance to surrender, and the Qing Dynasty will no longer accept their surrender.

So, let them guard Huaian, they can't do it if they don't want to defend.

"And there is a Gaoyou barrier in the south of Huai'an, which is safe. These defenders face the attacks of the green camp left behind in the north, which is as garbage as them, and they will be fine if they deal with it."

As Xu Jie listened, he felt something was wrong: "What are the bosses doing, what do you want to do?"

Wang Xuejun said, "Time is tight. When we do this, Duozhe will definitely increase the attack on Yangzhou. I am afraid they will not last a month. So, I order you to continue to move south with a large army, so that Duozhe thinks I am still halfway. Then I will take a thousand Kunlun slaves and two thousand musketeers to stop and go straight to Yangzhou from land to surprise Duozhe."

This is a clever plan, but Xu Jie did not sell this old boss this time, but directly packed up his luggage: "I'll go for this matter."

Wang Xuejun pulled off the bag from his hand and threw it aside: "You can't do this."

"Why can't I do it?" Xu Jie thrust his neck.

"First, you still can't command these Kunlun slaves. Second, you can't command Shi Kefa."

When Shi Kefa was mentioned, Xu Jie was discouraged: "What does the boss mean?"

"I'm going to pass through quickly. It's not like I'm going to defeat Duozhe outside the city. I'm just the number of troops I'm carrying to break Duozhe's 100,000 troops. I'm called it a nerve."

Then he said firmly: "This time I brought the edict given to me by the late emperor. I want to set foot in the joint camp, enter Yangzhou, and seize Shi Kefa's military power."

Then he was helpless: "I can't trust Shi Kefa's military command ability. Only when I seize the power of Yangzhou can I lead the 800,000 patriotic Yangzhou people until your army arrives."

Xu Jie heard that he wanted to say something at that time, but he was a wise man. With his marquis who had no basis in the words of the prince, he really couldn't help but suppress Shi Kefa.

If you really want to rescue Yangzhou, you will really have to go to Wang Xuejun.

Finally, starting from the overall situation, I could only nod: "Okay, take care of yourself, your husband."
