In the blink of an eye, it was already the sixth month of the lunar calendar, on this day, in Xiangle Town, Ningzhou, Qingyang Prefecture, the rebel army was fighting with the official army, and it was not difficult to find that the rebel army was composed of many forces, one of which was the Li Jiajun.

At this moment, in the command place of the tent at the rear of the rebel army, Gao Yingxiang sat upright, Li Zicheng, Guo Tianxing and the king of the troubled world and others sat on both sides, letting the sound of fighting outside shake the sky, and the smell of blood began to permeate the big tent, and everyone was still immovable, with a solemn expression, listening to Gao Yingxiang's speech.

"Leaders, you must have received the news that Ai Wannian, the deputy commander of Gushan, together with Liu Chenggong, Liu Guozhen, and guerrilla Wang Ximing, led 3,000 troops and is rushing here, wanting to sneak attack our rear, form a flanking attack with the garrison of Xiangle Town, and relieve the siege of Xiangle Town."

"Leader Gao, is this still negotiable?" Zhang Xianzhong asked directly, and then said loudly: "In order to ensure completeness, we must divide a rebel army and go to meet Ai Wannian and others. Among the people present, it is the king of Chuang, you and the army of the general are the strongest, all of them are all fine-armored iron horses, for the sake of the overall situation......"

However, before Zhang Xianzhong could finish speaking, Li Zicheng interrupted his speech and suddenly said: "Uncle, my nephew will lead the Li family's army to meet Ai Wannian's reinforcements from the imperial court. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zicheng's words froze, he looked at Zhang Xianzhong, and suddenly turned to say: "Eight kings, in order to better block the reinforcements of the official army, Li wants to borrow someone from you, I don't know if I want to or not?" ”

Zhang Xianzhong's smug expression was stunned, and he became a little weird, glanced back at Li Zicheng suspiciously, and said noncommittally: "General, among your Li family's army, there are many generals, Gao Yigong, Li Mou, Yu Bin, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Tichun and others, these are all people who can recruit good fighters, and you still need to borrow people from me?" ”

"Hehe..." Li Zicheng pretended to smile stupidly, did not answer, looked at Zhang Xianzhong directly, with a smile on his face, but asked again: "Eight kings, Li just wants to know, are you willing to borrow?" ”

"Hmm... Who do you want to borrow? Zhang Xianzhong did not continue to entangle, and also asked rhetorically.

"Li Dingguo~"

The fluttering three words echoed in the big tent and passed into Zhang Xianzhong's ears, everyone was stunned, Zhang Xianzhong frowned slightly, and asked everyone's common doubts.

"Li Zicheng, Li Dingguo is just a fourteen-year-old child, although he is taller, what use can he do to you?" Zhang Xianzhong asked lightly, and then said very cheerfully: "Of course I am willing to borrow, but you have to ask for the will of Dingguo." After all, although Dingguo is my righteous son, it is not a commodity. ”

"This is natural~!"

Li Zicheng agreed, this time it was his turn to pin a little, but he didn't expect Zhang Xianzhong to agree so quickly, which was completely unexpected by him.

Seeing that the two had reached a consensus, at this time, Gao Yingxiang said again: "Zicheng, with your strength of more than 30,000 people, it should not be a big problem to solve the reinforcements led by Ai Wannian and others." So, after the operation, if we are no longer here, we can go to Fengxiang Mansion to rendezvous. ”

"Uncle, I know this, at this time, the official army is mainly concentrated in Xi'an Mansion and Pingliang Mansion, and now is the best time to attack Fengxiang Mansion, you can respond to the rebel army in Xi'an Mansion and relieve the pressure on them."

......

In Li Dingguo's tent, at this moment, Li Dingguo and Zhang Xianzhong sat opposite each other, and the latter said in a serious voice: "Dingguo, after a while, Li Zicheng will ask for your opinion, whether you are willing to join him to block the reinforcements led by Ai Wannian and others, and when the time comes, you must agree to him." ”

"Father-in-law, haven't you always been at odds with Li Zicheng? Why did you make me promise him? Li Dingguo's immature face is very calm, he has been away from home for many years, and has experienced countless battlefields, and this young man who is only fourteen years old has the outline of a generation of generals.

"Dingguo, you should know that the Li family's army is very powerful, almost invincible, and among the many rebel armies, no one can compare with it."

"Well, father-in-law, I know that." Li Dingguo nodded lightly and responded in a timely manner.

"The reason why Li Jiajun's combat strength is so strong is not only because they are well-equipped and their soldiers are strong, but mainly because of their tactics and command. There are also siege equipment such as the Flying Dragon Chariot as an auxiliary, and the combination of various weapons also plays a pivotal role. ”

"Father, what do you mean...?" A flash of realization flashed in Li Dingguo's mind, and he probably guessed the other party's intentions, but he still asked with a puzzled face.

"The meaning is very simple, father-in-law, I want you to stay in the Li family's army for a year or two, learn their way of marching soldiers, the method of training soldiers, and the use of various war equipment, and how to use them together."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xianzhong paused, looked mysterious, looked around cautiously, and then looked at Li Dingguo again, and continued in a low voice: "The most important thing is that you have to find out the details of Li Zicheng and figure out the specific situation of Li Jiajun. ”

While speaking, Zhang Xianzhong's expression was already very solemn, and the domineering aura became much lighter.

"My father-in-law thinks that the Li family army is very weird, sometimes the strength of the army suddenly increases, sometimes it decreases sharply, and the changing force cannot find the slightest trace at all."

Li Dingguo nodded lightly, with a thoughtful look on his face, and said in a deep voice: "The sudden increase and decrease of troops is a very common thing for all rebel armies. Father-in-law, what is really strange about Li Jiajun is that unlike other rebel armies from all walks of life, not only did he know how to win the hearts of the people earlier, but the key is that Li Jiajun did not have a family member with the army. ”

"Father-in-law, during this period of time, Dingguo took a rough inventory of the situation of the rebel army, in general, although the total strength of the rebel army was more than two million, the families of the army accounted for a large part. From hundreds or thousands of rebel armies to tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of troops, each rebel army has more or less family members of the army. However, Li Jiajun did not have any of them. ”

"Yes, Dingguo, my father-in-law is also the most concerned about this matter." Zhang Xianzhong interjected, with emotion on his face, and said solemnly: "If we can arrange the families of the brothers and no longer communicate with the army, the combat effectiveness of our army will rise by several levels, and it will not be like now. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Xianzhong raised his head suddenly, looked straight at Li Dingguo, his tone became a little heavier, and slowly said again: "So, Dingguo, your mission is heavy and long!" Things about the art of war, battle formations, siege equipment, etc., can be put aside a little, but as for how to settle the families of the army, you must get it, the sooner the better, this is the main task of your infiltration into the Li family's army. ”

......

At the same time, in Li Jiajun's camp, in Li Zicheng's camp, there were generals standing opposite Li Zicheng, and Li Mu said directly: "Boss, my subordinates really don't understand, why do you have to get Li Dingguo into Li Jiajun?" Isn't that a wolf in the house? ”

"Yes, boss, my subordinates have heard that although Li Dingguo is small, he is shrewd~!" Liu Tichun echoed, with a solemn expression on his face.

However, Li Zicheng looked calm, didn't think so, and just said lightly: "Don't worry, since I do this, I have my own plans." As long as you continue to give an explanation, all those who come out of the base areas must keep a good tone of mouth and must not reveal the slightest thing about the base areas to Li Dingguo. ”
