Since Wang Huan's words were poked and firmly decided, the generals' hard persuasion was ineffective, and they could only agree to it in a row.

"But even if you are far away from Shuzhong, the power of the guards is indispensable, my lord, let me take the Fengzi Camp with you." Zu Bian shouted, eager to try: "Ma Wannian's teaching team is only about 200 people, and they can't cope with the big horses, take me with you to ensure that the road is smooth." ”

Ma Long smiled, took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "General Zu is brave and invincible, he is really a member of the tiger general, but the escort is a delicate job, and he pays attention to meticulous care, and General Zu is overkill when he does this, so the guard is a person, or leave it to a person like the last general." ”

When Zu Bian first heard it, he thought that Ma Long was praising himself, and he was happy and proud, but then he felt more and more that it was not quite right, this kid was hurting his carelessness! Immediately unhappy, was about to go crazy, but was blocked out of the circle by a group of people's heads, and all the generals in the house stood up and rushed to Wang Huan, and asked with fiery words and expressions that they must escort Wang Huandong.

Ma Wannian is a little unhappy, what's the matter? Look down on the teaching team? This teaching team is Wang Huan's guard, the selection is the children of the martyrs of the Kuizhou Army and the young and strong people of the good people of Shizhu, Wang Huan personally took the time to teach reading and literacy, and selected white-pole veterans to practice martial arts.

However, Ma Wannian is still young, and he has no status in front of this group of martial artists, and he didn't dare to speak if he wanted to say a few words to refute it, but he just stood behind Wang Huan with a straight face and didn't say a word.

Fortunately, Wang Huan stood up in time, and he calmed down the quarrel with a word.

"Don't fight anyone, you all stay here for me, build a city in Tuntian, hoard grain and grass, manage it well, and when I return from the east, I want to see a brand new Hanzhong!" Wang Huan clapped his hands to silence everyone, and then said with a smile: "My guards, except for Ma Wannian's guards, are in charge of Li Dingguo!" ”

"What?" Like a stone thrown into a pool of still water, setting off countless waves, the generals were shocked and dumbfounded.

The one-eyed Li Tingyu shook his head and said in a loud voice: "No, no! Li Dingguo is newly attached, his heart is unknown, his ambition is unknown, let him lead the troops to accompany the adults, too risky, absolutely not! ”

The rest have echoed, all Li Dingguo is Zhang Xianzhong's righteous son, although he returned to the imperial court, but the time is too short, I don't know much, it is difficult to say that there will be an unpredictable heart, once there is a bad intention, Wang Huan is alone, and it is very dangerous.

Wang Huan smiled and looked at everyone, with infinite feelings in his heart, these are brothers who are really good for themselves, from Yangzhou to escape thousands of miles to now preside over the situation, they are inseparable from this group of brothers who take care of each other, although they are rough and uninhibited, they don't know much about literature and ink, but they are very sincere and reliable people, Wang Huan said a word, they can not even want their own lives, throw their heads and spill blood without blinking.

Suppressing the surging emotion in his heart, Wang Huan once again quieted everyone down a little, and said sincerely: "Gentlemen, this time I went east, I was walking on the Ming realm, and the danger was not great. And this person's temperament, I have observed for a long time, in the sacrifice of thieves are very different, enough to trust, I took him with me, not only to test him, but also to let him be attached to Kuizhou with an iron heart, and Hanzhong was initially determined, a hundred wastes are waiting to be revived, there are Tartars eyeing each other, any of you have a mess in your hands, so this time face the saint, only Li Dingguo can accompany me to go with me, you don't need to persuade you again, I have made up my mind, it is useless to say more! ”

Everyone has a kind of blind obedience to Wang Huan's judgment, although they all feel that it is inappropriate, but Wang Huan has no choice but to accumulate power in front, when Wang Huan made a decision, even Li Tingyu, who has the most seniority, can no longer advise half a sentence, so the matter is decided.

However, among the people present, the most nervous was Ma Wannian, Li Dingguo led the troops to guard, which is equivalent to thousands of old Daxi troops surrounding him, and he thought of the life-and-death competition with the Daxi Army in Shu not long ago, Ma Wannian broke out in a cold sweat.

This extremely nervous emotion has always made Ma Wannian tighten the string in his heart, and it was directly reflected on his face, so when five days later, when Wang Huan set off from Hanzhong under the escort of Li Dingguo's two thousand military horses, Ma Wannian's eyes like eating people never left Li Dingguo, who was closely behind Wang Huan's horse.

Of course, Li Dingguo felt the killing intent shot on his back, and he also knew that it was the eyes of the leader of Wang Huan's personal guards, but he didn't care at all, just respectfully lagged behind Wang Huan, and followed safely.

The generals of Hanzhong sent thirty miles away before returning to the city, and then Wang Huan and a total of 2,500 military horses followed the repaired Golden Bull Plank Road, crossed Sichuan, and marched towards Guizhou.

When the figure of Hanzhong's military horse disappeared and the escort army lined up in a long snake and slowly walked on the official road, Wang Huan raised his head from his contemplation and looked at Li Dingguo, who was following him.

Li Dingguo frowned, his chin was thinking about something, the face with deep contours was already covered with fine lines, a kind of maturity that was extremely incommensurate with his age, radiating from the various wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, forehead and lips, constituting a vicissitudes of life, a straight waist, a slight bend that others were not easy to detect, hiding the tiredness, all of which silently proved that this body contained huge pressure, which was silently carried by him.

This is the first general of the Southern Ming Dynasty, with his own strength, the continuation of the Ming Dynasty for decades, if there is no him, the Yongli Emperor will end his sad life in advance, and the schedule of the Qing court to unify China will be greatly shortened.

"General Lee." Wang Huan said lightly, his head turned slightly sideways, and half his face was facing Li Dingguo: "I asked you to follow me into Fengtianfu, and without consulting you in advance, I ordered you to lead the troops, I don't know if you are willing?" ”

Ma Wannian's hand quietly pressed on the handle of the knife, staring at Li Dingguo's back and secretly accumulating strength, preparing Li Dingguo to draw the knife immediately if something was wrong.

When Li Dingguo heard this, he suddenly woke up from his contemplation, raised his head and was stunned for a moment, before he hurriedly clasped his hands into fists and said: "The military gate is serious, Dingguo is now a partial general under the military gate, but he is driven, and he is all going to go, so why not be reluctant?" ”

Wang Huan squinted his eyes, as if the sun in the sky was too hot, so he stretched out a hand, blocked it above his eyebrows, raised his head to the sky, and said softly in his mouth: "At this moment, there are old departments of Daxi on the left and right, and I only have a guard by my side, if you want to avenge Zhang Xianzhong, it's the right time!" ”

His movements were natural and relaxed, his tone was flat, he believed in Ma You, he seemed to be saying something irrelevant, and his voice was not loud, only Li Dingguo, who was beside him, could hear it, and Ma Wannian, who was a little farther away, couldn't hear it clearly.

Li Dingguo raised his head suddenly, his eyes were shining, he looked at Wang Huan in disbelief, his expression was distorted and strange, his expression changed, he was shocked and hesitated for a while, and exchanged several expressions in an instant, his hands remained in an arched posture, and he actually forgot to put it down for a while.

Wang Huan simply turned his face away, didn't look at Li Dingguo, looked at the distance ahead, sat straight on the horse, free and easy, revealing incomparable confidence.

A subtle atmosphere heated up sharply between the two of them at a short distance, dangerous and embarrassing, although both of them maintained a short silence, but even Ma Wannian behind Li Dingguo was faintly sensed, and the hand holding the handle of the knife added a little more force.

"Why did the military gate say this?" Finally, Li Dingguo's changing expression was settled, his violent facial expression tended to be calm, his face became flat like water, and he lowered his head and said slowly in a tone that could only be heard by the two: "The last general has sacrificed the seal from the Sword Pavilion, and he has discarded everything in the Great Western Dynasty, and now Li Dingguo, but the general soldier of Kuizhou, is just a small pawn under the command of the general soldier of Kuizhou, life and death are decided by the adult, if the adult does not believe it, he can order someone to tie Li Dingguo up with five flowers and send it directly to Fengtianfu, the eight kings have done something that is not shared with the royal family, The Son of Heaven will definitely be happy to vent his grudges against the Eight Kings on the last general. ”

After saying that, Li Dingguo maintained a posture of bowing his head and did not move, waiting for Wang Huan's reaction.

Wang Huanliang was silent for a long time, looking into the distance, at this time, it was just morning, the team walked to a mountainside, the sun slowly rose from the top of the mountain, the mountains were lush and green, as if gilded with a layer of gold in the sun, the forest was dyed, and it was brilliant.

"General Li, please look." Wang Huan spoke, he raised his whip and pointed at the sky: "Towering mountains and wilderness, the common people, the ************, so strong!" How not to make people's blood surging, not to give birth to the ambition of chasing the Central Plains and recovering my rivers and mountains! ”

"My son of the Han family, born in heaven and earth, grew up in his hometown, raised by his parents, accompanied by his close relatives, every inch of soil, every drop of river water has the blood and sweat of the ancestors, this is our homeland, our land, why should foreign people occupy it? Why should there be foreign oppression and killing? ”

"Huh!? Why? Wang Huan's tone slowly intensified, evolving from soft words to rough roars, turned his head, and glared at Li Dingguo, the hair between his eyebrows and eyes stood upside down, not angry and arrogant.

Li Dingguo looked at Wang Huan and felt the majestic emotion that came to his face, it was a kind of sadness from the heart, a kind of anger born from the bottom of his heart, Li Dingguo was stunned, he had never seen this situation from a general soldier of the Ming Dynasty.

"Because we are too weak, the court is corrupt and incompetent, the governors slaughter the corpses and vegetarian meals, the martial arts generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, the high-ranking people are intrigued, everyone plays their own small calculations, does not worry about the country but only about themselves, and treats the society as fat, they all want to take a bite and swallow it into the stomach of the individual, how can such a court, such an official government, not die? How can we save the country? The Son of Heaven is not like the Son of Heaven, and the courtiers are not like the courtiers, affecting the people of the world! ”

The words were oozing blood, and every sentence was whipped, Wang Huan's words shocked Li Dingguo and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Is this what the chief soldier of the imperial court said? Every word is a big rebellion, what is this for? Rebellion?

Not only Li Dingguo, but even Ma Wannian was stunned, the hand holding the handle of the knife was full of sweat, and his mind was in chaos. Fortunately, Li Dingguo governed the army strictly, and it was strictly forbidden to speak during the march of the team, and no one on the left and right turned back, and Wang Huan's outburst did not provoke much reaction.

Li Dingguo stayed for a moment, the mist in his eyes gradually rose, and a kind of emotion of meeting Bole and meeting a bosom friend in a foreign country came to his heart.
