The reaction of the imperial court was completely expected by Bai Wenxuan.

When the spring flowers are withering.

Liu Wenxiu set up a banquet for Li Dingguo to practice.

Due to the great changes in the war situation in Jiangbei, the imperial court urgently mobilized two troops and horses, Xu Yiyang and Li Dingguo, to go north. The general's order was very urgent, and Li Dingguo was ordered to lead the army out the next day immediately after receiving the order. This meal was also in a hurry.

Xu Yiyang will wait for Li Dingguo in Changsha, and after the two armies are united, he will go to Fancheng by water. After entering the imperial court, Li Dingguo felt that the most convenient thing was that he no longer had to worry about military rations and supplies, and supplies were provided by various prefectures and counties along the march.

There seems to be something terrible in the city of Nanjing, and Liu Suifeng has hurried back to Nanjing five days ago. There is only one person on this practice wine - the general of the Great Western Army.

There are a lot of secret things to say about their own people, and a few of them didn't ask courtesans to help them have fun.

Liu Wenxiu was slightly drunk and said: "Back then, the four of us led the Great Western Army from Sichuan to Yunnan in the south, and now I have taken refuge in the imperial court. The general went north to get out of the bitter sea, leaving me alone in Guizhou to be the enemy of Sun Kewang, and the general did not want to fight with the Great Western Army in the same room, in fact, I didn't want to. ”

Li Dingguo has been taken to Guiyang. Of the generals he named, except for some who had been poisoned by Sun Kewang, the rest were able to break away from Yunnan.

He was relaxed, his decadent aura was swept away, and he comforted: "Sun Kewang has not dared to act rashly in recent years, and you may not meet him with a sword." If the imperial court pacifies Jiangbei, his ambition will only be brought to the grave. ”

Liu Wenxiu threw down the wine bottle and sneered: "I just don't want to kill my brother in the past, Sun Kewang is not my brother, if he can endure it for a lifetime, I will suffer more than him." ”

Li Dingguo couldn't imagine that Liu Wenxiu hated Sun Kewang so much, and he had nothing to say but to persuade him to drink.

Liu Wenxiu poured a glass of wine, raised his hands above his head, and said: "The Ming court is thriving now, and the regent is not as confused as Emperor Zhu Ming. When the general goes north, it can be said that the sea is wide and the fish can leap, and the sky is high and the birds can fly. I wish the general a victory, and also seek a place for our Western Army in the DPRK. ”

The two sake bottles touched each other in the air, the sake rippled, and the heart was sad.

Li Dingguo is going to travel tomorrow and does not dare to drink excessively. Liu Wenxiu was very drunk, and was finally sent back to the camp by his generals.

The next day, the cannon outside Guiyang City sounded, and Li Dingguo led 7,000 soldiers and horses to embark on the journey. Less than thirty percent of his troops in Luoxiong Prefecture remained, and the rest were detained by Sun Kewang in Yunnan.

Liu Wenxiu hated Sun Kewang on his face, and Li Dingguo just hid his anger and grievances in his heart.

Just like Bai Wenxuan said, people always have to learn to look forward. When the Great Western Army fled from Sichuan to Yunnan, it did not expect to open up a new world. He left the remote part of Guizhou and went to the vast battlefield in the north to find a bigger stage for himself.

The military orders of the General's Mansion are very detailed, and there are restrictions on where the troops can be stationed on the march every day, which is also to provide convenience for the preparation of grain and grass in the prefectures and counties along the way.

The army marched for ten days and reached the outside of Changsha.

The tent outside the east gate of Changsha is continuous, and the shouts are bursting.

These days, Li Dingguo also inquired about many people and relationships in the Ming court and the army, and Xu Yiyang, the chief soldier stationed in Changsha, was one of the most mentioned figures.

Yuan Changcai, the prefect of Changsha, ordered two government soldiers to arrange the station. Li Dingguo only joined the imperial court, acted cautiously, and personally commanded the soldiers to arrange the camp.

Before the camp was arranged, a cavalry of more than two hundred men galloped from the direction of Dongcheng.

When Bai Wenxuan saw the banner of the comer, he immediately ordered someone to inform Li Dingguo and greet him first.

He brought twenty or thirty foot soldiers and trotted all the way until he was thirty or forty paces away from the incoming horsemen, he knelt down on one knee and arched his hand: "The last general, Bai Wenxuan, will see General Xu."

The cavalry queue slowed down, and a young military general came out and said, "Get up, where is General Li?" ”

It is not strange that many people have a good first impression of Xu Yiyang's middle-aged general.

Bai Wenxuan looked back, and a group of people at the gate of the camp walked over here.

When the Great Western Army fled from Sichuan to Yunnan that year, it was like a lost dog, losing countless armor, horses and soldiers, and Li Ding** did not have many war horses. After Luo Xiongzhou was attacked by Sun Kewang, the few war horses in the army were all taken away, and Sun Kewang released 3,000 people back to him, and not a single war horse was returned.

Li Dingguo is very poor now, and there is no cavalry in the army, so he can only come to see Xu Yiyang on foot.

Bai Wenxuan pointed to the visitor: "General Li is here"

Xu Yiyang dismounted, handed the reins to Zhang Erwu behind him, and the two teams approached on foot.

"Mr. Xu"

"General Lee"

The two of them got along with each other and hugged their fists, both looking at each other cautiously. Xu Yiyang is very unfamiliar with Li Dingguo, and Li Dingguo is very familiar with Xu Yiyang.

Although he was prepared, Li Dingguo was still very surprised by Xu Yiyang's youth, he was still a soldier in front of his father-in-law at Xu Yiyang's age. He raised his hand and said: "I have long admired the name of the general soldier, please go to the camp to speak"

Xu Yiyang gave a young and bright smile, took out an official document from his arms, presented it with both hands, and said: "General Li has worked hard from afar, I shouldn't have come to urge, but the military situation is urgent, and the general ordered me to wait for tomorrow sunrise and go north by water." ”

Li Dingguo arrived in Changsha on military orders, originally thinking that he would rest for a few days, but he did not expect to go to the battlefield in such a hurry. He was closed to news in Yunnan, and only knew that Zuo Ruo led the army into Shaanxi last year and captured Xi'an, and he didn't know anything about the changes in the battle situation this year.

"Is it so urgent?" He asked with emotion. There were 3,000 men in his army who had been released only 20 days earlier, and the uniforms, armor, and weapons had not yet been equipped. After Liu left in a hurry with the wind, he was like having lost his guide, and there was no one to write to the military headquarters and the general's mansion in Nanjing City on his behalf.

Xu Yiyang nodded and said: "It's very urgent, the sailor ship arrived at the Xiangjiang River the day before yesterday, and the general ordered you and my two armies to go north to Fancheng at the same time, and the Yuan Governor's Mansion has already prepared grain and grass supplies." ”

Hunan Road is equal to half of his hometown, and Changsha Mansion is like a VIP to him. In contrast, although Li Dingguo's official position was one level higher, he was still a newcomer in the Ming dynasty.

Li Dingguo saw that Xu Yiyang didn't speak like a small and harsh person, so he turned his heart sideways and said bitterly: "Dissatisfied with General Xu, there are still half of the soldiers in our army who do not have armor, don't go to Henan to delay the major events in the army." ”

Xu Yiyang was surprised: "How can this be?"

The military generals of the court and the civil servants all knew that the regent wanted to cultivate him, and after he raised an army alone, the military department approved sufficient armor and firearms for him, and he was sent to Changsha in just one month. A red man like him couldn't understand that the General's Mansion actually sent a group of unarmed soldiers to the battlefield.

The two walked into the noisy camp together

Li Dingguo was embarrassed and explained the cause and effect of this incident.

After hearing this, Xu Yiyang immediately patted his chest and said: "You send an official letter to the General's Mansion, and I will write a letter to the Ministry of War, and when you arrive in Fancheng, you will definitely have all the armor for you." ”

Li Dingguo clenched his fists and said, "Thank you General Xu"

Xu Yiyang said: "Don't thank me, they are all serving the imperial court, this time the imperial court is going to launch an offensive in Henan, if there is a mistake in the armor, the regent will kill people." ”

Li Dingguo listened to Xu Yiyang's words cautiously, and vaguely guessed that Jiangbei must have undergone a drastic change.
