837 Loyal to the country

Not long after, a personal guard of Cao Wenzhao went down to the valley, and after inspecting the grain mountain bag, he found the patriarch of the Aiman'er tribe and the patriarch of the Hurt tribe with a vigorous attitude, and said in a reprimanding tone: "Why hasn't Jianyu come yet?" We're all ready on the hill! Do not think that this food will be given to you if the ambush fails. Let me tell you, we don't have much food of our own, and if we can't do it, we won't be too troublesome, and we will load it in a car and transport it back! “

When the patriarch of the Ayman'er tribe and the patriarch of the Huert tribe heard this, they were a little anxious, and hurriedly accompanied the smiling face, saying that someone had been sent to contact them, and Jianlu would definitely send troops to pick up food, because Jianyu was also short of food, and he would definitely come.

Seeing the relative leave angrily, the two of them discussed again. Things have come to this point, and the Ming army cannot be allowed to leave in any case, especially to transport the grain back. So, as a result of the discussion, a messenger was sent to urge Daqing to come over quickly.

As soon as Cao Wenzhao's personal guard arrived to the north of the mountain, and it was impossible for the Mongols to see him, the fierce expression on his face suddenly disappeared, and he hurriedly went up the mountain to make a statement to the marshal.

When Cao Wenzhao saw this, he ordered the whole army to rest, and there was no need to pretend to make a move. The only thing to do now is to wait for the second news from the emperor's side. Of course, when the time comes, regardless of whether the second news is available or not, the troops must be withdrawn.

On a high mountain not far from Haizhou, an official road came out of Haizhou and extended to the west, passing under this high mountain. High up in the mountains, the snow has not melted, and the land is white.

On the side of this mountain towards Haizhou, near a cliff, a strong man wearing a snow-white cloak walked over and said to the clearing: "Dingguo, it's time to eat!" ”

As soon as these words fell, I saw movement in the clearing, a person on the snow turned over and sat up, where he was lying on his stomach, covered with a hay military coat, also wearing a snow-white cloak, half a child, holding a telescope in his hand, and said with a smile: "That's troublesome Brother Li." ”

This person is Li Dingguo, who was originally studying in the Jingshi Junior Military Academy, because of the lack of "human flesh transmitters" that can be trusted, when making a plan, Emperor Chongzhen sent him to report to the Guanning army early, and now under the escort of a team of Guanning troops at night, he came to monitor the movements in Haizhou.

Brother Li listened, and said with a smile: "What's polite, thanks to you, our brother has the opportunity to use this clairvoyant mirror." ”

They all know that Li Dingguo has a great future, and Li Dingguo's military literacy at a young age makes them admire those who are used to not collecting at night, so although Li Dingguo does not have any military rank and position at this time, they all deliberately befriend Li Dingguo.

Li Dingguo walked back to the camping camp in the forest, where there was still a group of Ming soldiers who were resting at night, and when they saw him coming, they greeted him one after another. Li Dingguo is very comfortable with this, after all, just as he is about to talk about it, he has not been in the army for a short time, and he has long learned to get along with soldiers.

While eating, they were talking in a whisper, and suddenly, one of them asked Li Dingguo at night: "Dingguo, there has been no movement in Haizhou for so long, will they not dare to come out?" ”

Hearing this, the other nights also stopped talking, and they all wanted to hear what Li Dingguo had to say. Because they found that although Li Dingguo was young, he often made them feel new when he talked, and some words and some opinions, even if they had been a lifelong night, they had never heard of them.

For this war, those of them who are in it naturally want to know more. Therefore, I also want to hear this Li Dingguo's answer, will this Haizhou Jianyu go out of the city?

Li Dingguo listened to this, pondered for a moment, and obviously thought about it seriously before replying: "This is not easy to say, we must consider the whole situation of this war, and we must also consider the temperament, personality, and background of the people in charge of the construction of the captivity. If they all know, it will be easy to analyze whether Haizhou will send troops. ”

"Amazing, Dingguo is really comprehensive, and he really has the demeanor of a famous general!" One of them didn't listen at night, and immediately gave a thumbs up in admiration.

He wasn't a sycophant, but his original idea was to think about whether Haizhou Jianyu would go out of the city, but he didn't consider it from all aspects like Li Dingguo, this answer was beyond his expectations, but it was the best answer.

The others didn't listen at night, and they all nodded their heads, they felt that when Li Dingguo was thinking about things, he was thinking about things from a higher starting point than they considered, and they were all comprehensive, or, this is the difference between a general and a soldier!

Li Dingguo didn't feel embarrassed when he heard the praise of his companions, the young man's youth had obviously been trained by him, so he continued: "But I know the emperor better. Since the emperor has made such an arrangement, he must be sure. The emperor's side will definitely know what I just said, at least better than we don't know anything. Therefore, I think there is a seventy percent chance that Haizhou will send troops. ”

Hearing his words, these Ming soldiers couldn't help but be very envious when they didn't accept it at night. They automatically ignored the answers to the questions they originally wanted to ask, and focused on the fact that Li Dingguo knew the emperor better.

They have grown so big and have been soldiers for so long, so they were fortunate to see the emperor inspect the army as part of King Qin's army when they were fortunate enough to triumph in Beijing before. They could only see the emperor from afar, and that's it, after returning to Guanning, they bragged about it with those who stayed behind for a long time. But Li Dingguo was specially transferred from the place to Beijing to study by the emperor, and he must be a person who has a lot of contact with the emperor and has been favored!

Li Dingguo saw their reactions, and couldn't help but be very grateful to Emperor Chongzhen, he himself was a little strange, it stands to reason that when he first entered the chat group, he spoke very politely to Emperor Chongzhen, but I don't know why, Emperor Chongzhen has always been good to himself, and later, he can even clearly feel that Emperor Chongzhen wants to cultivate himself.

He had actually thought about this many times in private, but every time, he couldn't convince himself of the reasons he came up with. I really don't understand, so I can only secretly swear in my heart that I must be loyal to the country in this life and repay Emperor Chongzhen's kindness.

While they were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion. After several people were stunned for a moment, they were all overjoyed and went to the cliff one after another. When Brother Li saw them coming, he hurriedly said, "Come and see, is it a messenger coming from the north of Haizhou?" ”

When he finished speaking, he didn't give the telescope in his hand to others, so he gave it to Li Dingguo and asked him to see it first.
