Under the gaze of the generals, a trace of confidence also appeared on Xu Guo's face. He ordered everyone: "Everyone go back first, and tomorrow morning at the latest, I will give you a satisfactory reply..."

"After the two shellings just now, we have lost more than 2,000 soldiers. In addition, it is getting dark, so I guess that the attack of the rebels outside the city will definitely end today. Therefore, I hope that all the soldiers will have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, there will be a very large military operation waiting for everyone."

Although everyone was full of doubts, under Xu Guohou's gaze full of firm eyes, they had to take the order to leave the county government hall.

As the lobby was empty, General Qian, the guard team responsible for his own safety, walked over directly under Xu Guohou's order.

Seeing General Qian who was promoted in front of him, Xu Guohou asked with a rare serious look on his face.

"Mr. Wang Qian, you should know everything about everyone's conversation in the lobby just now... Stay here, either by the rebels outside the city and are either killed by shells or captured by these rebels... No matter which one is, it will be very unfavorable to the family of my officers, and may even bring disaster to them."

"So, I decided to leave the county town tonight under the cover of night and return to the capital to report to His Majesty..."

Mr. Qian asked with a puzzled look on his face, "But, sir..."

"I just heard from you that you will only reply to you tomorrow morning, why are you going to break through tonight..."

Xu Guohou did not answer immediately, but Chen Sheng asked back: "Mr. Wang Qian. You were promoted by me. Looking at the entire army, the person I trust most is you. Otherwise, I would not let you command the guards and protect my safety."

"Since that's the case, I want to know whether you will be on the same mind as me at a critical moment and whether you will betray me."

As soon as Xu Guohou finished speaking, Mr. Wang Qian, who was standing in front of him, knelt on one leg and promised loudly: "Please rest assured, Mo will save this life... Without the adult, Mo Jiang was starved to death when he was a child. Since he was adopted by you, Mo Jiang has already sworn to heaven that life is an adult, death is an adult's ghost, and swears loyalty to you to the death..."

"As long as the last one breath, I will always protect the adults. I will always be with the adults and always protect the adults..."

Hearing this, Xu Guohou's seriousness suddenly relaxed a lot.

After breathing a sigh of relief, he replied to Mr. Qian in front of him: "Since that's the case, then I will express my thoughts."

"In terms of the current situation we are in, it is no longer something we can break through just by wanting to break through."

"In addition to the tens of thousands of Northern Expedition Army in front of us, a large number of iron-armed cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army were found in several other directions... If I led thousands of soldiers to break through, could I avoid the iron-armed cavalry of the Northern Expedition Army outside the city?"

"A group of infantry without any protection may be the opponent of the armored cavalry of the Northern Army outside the city?"

"I can say with certainty that as long as I take them out of the county town under my feet, they will be slaughtered by the iron armored cavalry outside the city..."

"I know about this result, and the generals under my command also know it. Therefore, in the lobby just now, they took the initiative to surrender to the Northern Army outside the city instead of breaking through..."

"Under this situation, even if I propose to break through, those generals who have been afraid of being beaten by the Northern Army will not obey our general orders. Besides, I will issue a general order to ask everyone to break through and successfully break out in time, which is also a violation of the imperial edict that the court had asked me to carry out the imperial edict that he had asked me to defend himself. Therefore, if I successfully break out in time, I will be punished by the court."

Mr. Wang Qian, who was frowning, slowly showed a thoughtful expression on his face. He replied loudly to Xu Guohou: "Sir, everyone knows what you said... Please give an order. Even if you let Mo Zheng die now, Mo Zheng will not frown."

Xu Guohou shook his head and replied: "You are the subordinate of my official most trusted, and I will never let you die..."

"Since the generals under my command are all thinking of surrendering to the Northern Army outside the city, the official agrees to their surrender. However, this surrender must be carried out after the official leaves the county town."

"Faced with the powerful military front of the Northern Army, the generals under my command threatened me to take them to surrender to Zheng Benjun in order to survive. However, God had a vision, so I let me discover their conspiracy one step ahead of time. After a bloody battle, I successfully broke out of the county town. Please ask their clutches..."

"As for those generals who wanted to surrender to the Zhengbei Army, after learning that the officer left the county town, he took the initiative to surrender to the Zhengbei Army..."

"After losing the generals, only a few personal guards remained, and they were weak. They could only leave here with hatred, return to the capital and report to the court, and report to the court the strong strength of the Northern Expedition Army, so that the court can prepare early..."

Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed across Mr. Wang Qian's face, who was frowning just now.

After suppressing the excitement in his heart, he said to Xu Guohou with a compliment: "Sir, wise... In this way, the court will not only not punish you, but also reward you with great reward..."

Xu Guohou also showed a smile on his face and said to Mr. Qian in front of him: "You can just know this matter. Even if we successfully return to the capital, we cannot spread it..."

"I want to know now whether the more than 100 guards under your command are trustworthy... How good are you? Can you take me to leave the county town quietly and escape the pursuit of the cavalry of the Northern Army outside the city..."

Mr. Qian replied confidently: "Please rest assured, the 150 guards are all elites selected by the last general from the entire army. Everyone is a hero who has been on the battlefield and killed people. There is absolutely no problem with combat effectiveness."

"As for loyalty, there is no problem... You should know that the military pay they receive every month is twice that of ordinary soldiers. Once they leave you, they will be nothing. The general believes that they all understand this truth. Therefore, the general affirms that these guards have no problem with your loyalty to you..."

"In addition, the more than 100 personal guards under the command of the General are equipped with war horses you bought from Mongolia with a lot of money. In terms of speed, they are definitely not worse than those of the Iron Armored Cavalry of the Northern Army. Therefore, as long as everyone can leave the city smoothly, they can escape the pursuit of the Iron Cavalry of the Northern Army outside the city. The General dares to use his own head to guarantee it."

Just as the smile on Xu Guohao's face became stronger and stronger because of Mr. Qian's answer in front of him. Mr. Qian's words changed and asked him out the last worry in his heart.

"Sir, the only question is how can we escape the eyes of thousands of soldiers in the city and leave the county town quietly."

Xu Guohou smiled indifferently and replied: "You don't have to worry about this question at all... Don't forget that in this county, the official is the biggest..."

"As long as I write you a warrant to leave the city, let you go out of the city and go to the capital to ask for help from the court, and cooperate with us to break through. I believe that the thousands of officials in the city will definitely believe you and let you out of the city."

"At that time, I only need to wear ordinary soldiers' clothes, mix among everyone, and follow everyone out of the city..."

"As long as we leave the city and return to the capital, and with these generals under our command surrender to the Northern Army, we will arrange the things that happened in the city, as long as we want..."

"Okay, go and prepare immediately..."

The next day, just as dawn, the seven or eight generals under Xu Guohou gathered at the county government office as if they had agreed.

Facing the closed door of the county government lobby, several people showed confusion expressions on their faces.

After waiting for half an hour, I didn't hear any movement in the county government office. Several generals who realized something was wrong were no longer in the mood to wait, and directly ordered their personal soldiers to break through the gate of the county government office and rush into the county government office.

What made these generals feel incredible is that the county government office where more than 100 guards of Xu Guohou's personal guards were stationed yesterday. At this moment, the building was empty and there was no one to see.'

Faced with the unexpected scene in front of him, several generals immediately rushed into the lobby and ordered their personal soldiers to search the entire county government.

Soon, a letter left by Xu Guohou to them was searched.

After reading the letter, several generals directly showed a look of shame and anger on their faces.

Among them, the general with the worst temper directly started to curse: "This Xu Guohou is really too sinister. When it comes to a critical moment, he just thinks about himself..."

"We are all old brothers who have sold their lives for him. They even threw us to the Zhengbei Army without even calling him. Don't he know that if we throw us here, there is only a dead end..."

After seven or eight people vented their anger one after another, the oldest general spoke in shock: "Okay, don't argue anymore... After Xu Guohou left, it may be a good thing for us."

"Don't forget what is Xu Guohou's identity..."

"In his capacity, may he surrender to the Zhengbei Army like us..."

"So, in this case, if he wants to continue to be popular, he can only leave our path..."

At this time, the general glanced at his colleagues who were shining with his eyes around him and said with a sarcastic sarcasm: "Anything is right, everyone should have made the decision to surrender to the Northern Army outside the city last night."

"Now that Xu Guohou has left, isn't there anyone stopping us from surrendering to the Zhengbei Army?"

"So, don't scold people..."
