Chapter 757: Defeat of the Japanese army
The entry of the Li Jiajun into the battlefield accelerated the defeat of the Japanese invaders, and under the attack of the Dongjiang Army, the war ended quickly, and the 10,000 Japanese army was almost completely annihilated on the battlefield. Only a few of them escaped, less than a hundred, and in this battle, the Japanese army was completely annihilated.
The fleeing Japanese were not pursued by the Dongjiang Army, and Mao Wenlong knew that it was impossible to completely destroy the Japanese invaders. In order to prevent the Dongjiang Army from going into danger, he ordered that it should not be pursued. He still understands the truth of the poor Kou Mo Chasing, if he really forces the Wokou to have no way to live, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do anything extreme.
The soldiers were cleaning up the battlefield, and after Li Dingguo received Mao Wenlong, he directly invited him into Ningguo's mansion. The city that had just suffered from the war was in shambles, especially the city walls, which had borne the brunt of the war, were already in tatters.
Fortunately, in the end, Li Jiajun still held the city wall and did not let the war reach the city. And Wu Chengen, who had learned earlier that the city was about to face an uncontrollable danger, had already left with the princess first, so there was no disharmony in the city.
invited Mao Wenlong to the mansion, Li Dingguo was still covered with dirt, he didn't go to wash, laughed and ordered his subordinates to get a table of wine and food, and drank with Mao Wenlong.
After three rounds of drinking, Mao Wenlong put down his wine glass and stopped drinking, there were still many things he needed to make up his mind just after the war, and he had to keep a clear head during this period. If you drink too much, you will inevitably make mistakes, and he must always be vigilant about himself.
Looking at Li Dingguo, who was still very happy, Mao Wenlong knew that he was emanating from his heart, not pretending in front of him. After some deep thought, Mao Wenlong coughed lightly, which attracted Li Dingguo's attention, and then opened his mouth to speak: "General Li, I believe that after this battle, the Japanese will not dare to attack easily." Mao has a question I need to ask you, I hope you can give me an answer. ”
Mao Wenlong said it carefully, and Li Dingguo immediately put away the smile on his face, nodded seriously, and said, "General Mao, please speak." ”
Without unnecessary hesitation, Mao Wenlong said bluntly: "I don't know what General Li plans to do next?" ”
Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and did not respond to Mao Wenlong for a long time. He himself is very confused about this problem now, the facts have been placed in front of him, and if Li Dingguo continues to fight with the Dongjiang Army, the only possibility in the end is to end up with those Japanese who are almost completely wiped out.
But if he doesn't fight with Mao Wenlong anymore, then it means that all the efforts made by Li Dingguo before have been in vain. The subordinates who died in the war and the promises they gave them are all warning Li Dingguo not to give up halfway. What's more, there is Chongzhen's relationship in it, and the princess who has never been married, everything makes Li Dingguo feel unwilling.
Hesitation, contradictions, and all kinds of complex emotions swirled back and forth in his mind, and Li Dingguo was very distressed. Mao Wenlong stared at him for a long time, and suddenly spoke again: "It seems that General Li can't answer for a while, but it doesn't matter, the future will be long." Mao can give General Li some time to think about it carefully, and it's not too late to respond when you figure it out. But before that, Mao hopes that General Li will think about it, and Mao's side will open the door for you at any time and welcome your arrival. ”
Li Dingguo was slightly surprised, it was obvious that this was Mao Wenlong implicitly conveying his kindness to himself. Li Dingguo understood that this was Mao Wenlong persuading him to surrender, as long as he was willing, he could go to Mao Wenlong to do things.
With such kindness, Li Dingguo was really moved in his heart, but he couldn't give Mao Wenlong a positive answer for a while. The clever Li Dingguo finally chose to remain silent, neither agreeing nor refusing, but delaying the past in this way.
The banquet quickly dispersed, and Mao Wenlong also got up to say goodbye and leave. Before leaving, he had no intention of letting Li Dingguo leave Ningguo's mansion city, after all, judging from the current situation of Li Jiajun, he was not the opponent of the Dongjiang Army at all.
If Mao Wenlong needs it, he can directly order every minute to take the opportunity to take back Ningguo Mansion City. But Mao Wenlong did not do this, not only to give Li Dingguo time to think, but also to show his sincerity to Li Dingguo.
On the official road connecting Ningguo Mansion City to Weizhou Mansion City, a team of nearly 1,000 people was hurrying on the road. In the middle of the procession was a huge carriage driven by four horses, which was really Wu Chengen and the princess, who had left earlier.
Knowing that Li Dingguo was in trouble and was likely to be in danger, Princess Changping was unwilling to abandon Li Dingguo and go away. But in the end, he couldn't screw Wu Chengen, who insisted, so he had to leave reluctantly.
Looking at the princess who had a stinky face from beginning to end, and frequently turned her head to look the way she came, Wu Chengen sighed helplessly and persuaded: "Princess, have you already liked that Li Dingguo?" ”
Turning around suddenly, Princess Changping nodded firmly: "Yes, this palace admires General Li very much, he is a good man!" ”
Wu Chengen frowned, and was about to explain the whole story to the princess, but unexpectedly, at this time, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves outside the carriage. Then a voice came from the window of the carriage: "Father-in-law, my subordinates have an urgent report!" ”
"Say!" Wu Chengen responded in a deep voice.
"Father-in-law Qiqi, news has just come from Ningguofu City that the Li family army has completely defeated the Japanese army. Now that the war in Ningguofu City has subsided, may I ask my father-in-law, do we still want to go back? The guard's report was also due to Wu Chengen's confession at the beginning.
"How is it possible, are you sure that Li Dingguo defeated the Japanese army?" Wu Chengen was very surprised, and then exclaimed.
"Father-in-law, what my subordinates said just now is true, and there is absolutely no half-falsehood. I heard that General Li was able to win the victory entirely because of the help of the Dongjiang Army, and when General Li and his team were attacked by the Japanese invaders, they were also in danger. But it was only later that the appearance of the Dongjiang Army immediately reversed the disadvantage of the Li Jiajun. The guard hastened to explain.
"I actually got together with the Dongjiang Army again...... Not good, we have to rush back as soon as possible. U-turn, U-turn......" Wu Chengen suddenly shouted.
Although his words were clueless, the officers and soldiers did not understand what he was talking about? But when they turned around, they heard it clearly, without any extra consideration, and the convoy quickly turned around in an orderly manner and rushed back towards Ningguofu City.
By the time Wu Chengen returned to Ningguofu City, it was already evening. Wu Chengen didn't care about arranging the princess's accommodation in person, and as soon as he arrived at the mansion, he even found Li Dingguo, looking like a teacher asking for guilt.
