The two men knelt down to receive the order.
"Your Majesty, Gao Jie and Xu Dingguo are to send troops south immediately to attack Li Chuang and relieve the siege of Fengyang. I decree this."
"This is an oral order. Please accept it."
"I obey your command." The two responded in unison.
"You two, it's already three o'clock in the morning. Let's end today's banquet here. We have to send troops south early tomorrow morning." Wang Guoxing said with his hands behind his back.
"Don't worry!" Xu Dingguo suddenly came up to him, "We finally got together, we can't leave until we're drunk!"
"Yeah," Gao Jie returned to his previous state, "There's no reason to drink half of a bottle."
Wang Guoxing cursed in his heart.
Gao Jie, ah Gao Jie, I'm saving you, and you're still drinking.
If you drink any more you will die.
He smiled lightly: "If we can lift the siege of Fengyang, we will have plenty of opportunities to drink; if we lose Fengyang, I'm afraid we will have to drink the beheading wine."
Gao Jie shuddered and his eyes became much clearer.
He thought of Zuo Liangyu and Liu Zeqing.
No one who angers Your Majesty will have a good end.
"Cough, cough, cough," Gao Jie coughed to cover up his guilty conscience, "Brother Xu, that's enough for today. We can drink again another day."
Of course Xu Dingguo would not agree, and he tried his best to keep him.
But the more he tried to keep him, the more Gao Jie felt something was wrong.
Just when Gao Jie ordered to leave, Xu Dingguo took action.
Anyway, he was ready to surrender and didn't care about killing one more Wang Guoxing.
"Gao Jie is a gangster who not only killed my entire family, but also slaughtered civilians and raped their wives and daughters. I never expected that he would become an official appointed by the imperial court. I refuse to accept this!"
"Brothers, grab your weapons and kill him!"
"Kill!" Shouts of killing rang out all around.
The banquet instantly turned into a battlefield.
Gao Jie was furious and took out the iron rod he was carrying and rushed towards Xu Dingguo.
Xu Dingguo was not afraid at all and drew his sword to meet the enemy.
The moment the killing sound appeared.
The soldiers who were drinking at the gate, in the courtyard, and in the front hall of Wang's mansion immediately threw away their wine glasses, overturned the tables, and started fighting.
Since both sides were prepared, the battle immediately became tense.
But soon, Xu Dingguo's reinforcements arrived.
Five thousand soldiers rushed into the Wang mansion along the street, dividing the chaotic battlefield into dozens of small battlefields.
With the advantage in numbers, Gao Jie's troops were defeated one after another.
"Hurry, retreat to the South Gate!" Wang Guoxing dragged the injured Gao Jie and retreated while fighting.
"How to retreat? They have surrounded this place!" Guo Hu, the deputy general under Gao Jie, shouted.
Wang Guoxing yelled, "Are you all fucking useless? Can't you just concentrate your superior forces to attack a breakthrough point?"
Guo Hu gritted his teeth, swung his sword and killed an enemy soldier, then shouted, "Shan Changgeng, Pan Yifeng, take your men and follow me to the north!"
Xu Dingguo commanded the crowd: "Quick, gather to the north and block the exit!"
Wang Guoxing seized the opportunity and, under the cover of forty or fifty soldiers, dragged Gao Jie and fought his way out from the south.
They killed their way from the back hall to the front hall, and from the front hall to the door.
The battle at the gate was coming to an end. Due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides, the personal soldiers brought by Gao Jie suffered heavy losses.
There were more than a hundred soldiers of Xu Dingguo standing at the door. They saw dozens of bloody men rushing out of the crowd and rushing towards them.
"Kill!" Guo Hu rushed out from the back hall in the north at some point and then rushed to the front door from the back hall.
At this moment he was like a devil.
His body was covered in blood and had four or five arrows stuck in it.
The knife in his hand was dripping with blood, and his eyes were wide open, making people dare not look directly at him.
"Kill!" Guo Hu rushed towards those people.
Seeing this, Wang Guoxing immediately led his men to escape in the opposite direction.
After turning three or five times, the shouting and screaming became farther and farther away.
"Gao Jie, are you okay?" Wang Guoxing asked, panting.
