Li Dingguo is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is very smart, otherwise he would not have fought the Qing army more than ten years later, and once recovered a large area of mountains and rivers.

It's just that he is not good at political intrigue, and it can be said that he disdains to participate in it.

Such people often disappear like meteors after a while.

From Li Zicheng's plan to treat him and die, he didn't notice it at all, and it can be seen that he is definitely a political idiot.

Li Dingguo drooped his shoulders and sat on the chair with his eyes blank, with an indescribable despair.

It wasn't until Fan Jinyan called him several times that he suddenly came back to his senses, and with a loud "pop", he slapped on the coffee table next to him, shaking the teacup back to the ground and shattering it.

Said angrily: "Li ...... Self...... Cheng, despicable villain...... I'm going to tear you to pieces......"

For a long time, Li Dingguo seemed to remember that Fan Jinyan was still beside him, hurriedly bowed down and hugged his fists, and said apologetically: "Dingguo was rude, let Hou Ye smile......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fan Jinyan with a smile, "It's okay, Dingguo is a person of temperament, and he is somewhat similar to Benhou." ”

"Hou Ye has been promoted, Dingguo really doesn't dare to take it, but there is one thing, Dingguo hopes that Hou Ye will tell him." Li Dingguo said.

"Speak."

Fan Jinyan raised his hand and motioned for him to continue.

Li Dingguo had calmed down at this time, stared at Fan Jinyan tightly and asked, "Why did Master Hou tell the last general this?" Could it be that the Hou Ye wants to turn against Li Zicheng in the end and reap the benefits? ”

"Hahahaha"

Fan Jinyan looked up to the sky and laughed, and it took a long time before shaking his head and saying, "Dingguo!" Dingguo, what does he Li Zicheng have to worry about? He's just a lost dog. ”

"So, what does Master Hou mean?" Li Dingguo hesitated.

However, Fan Jinyan slowly raised his hand, stretched out his finger, pointed at Li Dingguo and said: "You, if you want to say that Li Zicheng has anything that can make my heart move, then it is only you, Li Dingguo." ”

"Me?" Li Dingguo was confused when he heard it, and he was stupid for the sake of the sentence, "Why?" ”

Fan Jinyan walked down the steps again, came to him, patted him on the shoulder and said: "There is no reason, Ben Hou is optimistic about you, if you follow me, I will let you show your ambitions, delay the world, and destroy all thieves." ”

Li Dingguo didn't show the slightest excitement, and still had a puzzled expression on his face, "There doesn't seem to be a shortage of fierce generals who are good at leading troops under the Hou Ye's account, why do you value the last general so much." ”

Fan Jinyan shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said slowly: "You don't know, there is no shortage of generals under Benhou's account, but there is no handsome talent. And you are different, you started to fight in the Quartet at the age of ten, led the troops alone for many years, and you have long been famous, and you are not able to match the few shrimp soldiers and crabs under the tent of Benhou. ”

Fan Jinyan, who has always liked to fire cannons with his mouth, finally told the truth this time, Tang Fei and Yang Dahai, before him, were just a little thief Luo Luo, because he rose to the top and sat in the position of general. Before Wei Dayou was with him, he was just a bandit leader, nothing more. And Li Shuisheng is just a pirate who commands five pirate ships. As for Qin Yuan, apart from urging and talking big, he is useless.

Fan Jinyan can win all the way, but because of the opponent Taicai and the cleverness he played, if he encounters a real battlefield master like Li Dingguo and Li Zicheng, he is a rookie, and people can ravage him as much as they want.

This is also the reason why Fan Jinyan was nervous when he heard Li Zicheng's movement, and he didn't have any bottom in his heart at all.

Therefore, he spared no effort to persuade the talent of the general in front of him.

"Hou Ye's words are serious"

Before Li Dingguo finished speaking, he was interrupted by Fan Jinyan, "Needless to say, Ben Hou said that you are, you are." Now, what's your reply? ”

Fan Jinyan knows that this kind of person is not pleasing to him, and the military general likes to be direct.

Li Dingguo was silent, he had followed Zhang Xianzhong since he was ten years old, until after Zhang Xianzhong's death, he had to follow Li Zicheng south due to the situation. He never thought that one day he would turn against Li Zicheng.

In his dictionary, there is no word "rebellion".

But now, it's different, it's not that he betrayed Li Zicheng, but that Li Zicheng betrayed the promise between them and wanted to put him to death.

Fan Jinyan saw that Li Dingguo was still hesitating, and continued: "Dingguo thinks that I am the same kind of person as Li Zicheng? ”

These words pulled Li Dingguo back from fantasy to reality, and hurriedly explained: "Master Hou misunderstood, how dare the general." ”

"Hmph." Fan Jinyan snorted coldly, stared at him tightly and said, "What are you hesitating about?" Dignified man, why do you have to be a daughter? If you have any concerns, you can speak out. ”

Li Dingguo didn't expect Fan Jinyan to force him to make a statement, but he was not unhappy, but laughed and laughed quickly.

In the end, Minister Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief, pressed his hands on his knees, stood up, walked to the middle of the front hall, clenched his hands into fists, put them in the heart position, knelt down on one knee, and said firmly: "I, Li Dingguo, swear allegiance to the ruler of Qiongzhou today, Jinghaihou, General Zhennan, until I die in battle." ”

Putting the clenched fist in the heart position is not the etiquette of the Central Plains, but the tradition of Mengyuan, it seems that the rumor that Zhang Xianzhong is a descendant of the grassland people is not unfounded, I heard that the generals under him are required by him to practice this etiquette. Of course, Zhang Xianzhong said that this can reflect manhood. Although this excuse is very bad, because of his power, no one dares to say anything.

Of course, in Fan Jinyan's opinion, this action is indeed more bloody and manly than holding fists.

In this way, Li Dingguo finally failed to escape from Fan Jinyan's clutches and became a member of his forces.

Of course, Fan Jinyan couldn't let him stay to lead the troops like this, but was planning a plan that could wipe Li Zicheng, a restless guy, from this world in one fell swoop.

Li Zicheng fought all his life, not relying on numbers to win, nor relying on battlefield strategies to win, but relying on his keen sense of smell of the battlefield and countless diplomatic strategies to finally defeat Chongzhen and sit on the throne of the emperor.

Such a person, Fan Jinyan is difficult to defeat with cleverness.

Therefore, this battle must be won, and it must be exciting, so that his name will resound throughout the Central Plains Continent.

Because, the traitor that Chongzhen has been unable to defeat finally died in his hands.

The key to whether the war is won or not depends on how Li Dingguo performs.

This battle is not only the key to Fan Jinyan, but also the key to Li Dingguo, only by playing a beautiful trick can he truly gain a foothold in Fan Jinyan's forces, and only then can those unruly generals truly recognize his ability
