Zhang Xianzhong's injustice obviously aroused Li Dingguo's dissatisfaction, as a handsome person, the rewards and punishments are unknown, how can he convince the public?

Li Dingguo is leading troops to fight and knows the importance of clear rewards and punishments, but Zhang Xianzhong's obvious partiality makes Li Dingguo very depressed, Zhang Xianzhong saw Li Dingguo's depression at this time, but Zhang Xianzhong didn't feel that he was wrong, the handsome person should be rewarded and punished clearly, but the monarch must maintain balance, if the balance is broken, it will be even worse.

Maybe it will be overlooked by his subordinates, so Zhang Xianzhong must suppress Li Dingguo, there is no way Li Dingguo is too good in military affairs, Sun Kewang is actually really good at internal affairs, but Zhang Xianzhong is a rogue organization, and he does not have his own fixed territory, there is a fart internal affairs, and the whole team is militarized management, so Sun Kewang can only force Li Dingguo to compare the military.

It's really worse than losing once, and it's worse than ever, but Zhang Xianzhong can't ignore Sun Kewang, regardless of him, the balance that Zhang Xianzhong needs is broken, so Zhang Xianzhong is pulling the bias again and again.

In fact, Zhang Xianzhong also has his own plans, Zhang Xianzhong's goal has always been Shuzhong, so what Zhang Xianzhong wants to do is to enter Shuzhong, as long as he enters Shuzhong, Li Dingguo is in charge of the military, suppresses Shudao, and ensures the safety of Shuzhong.

Sun Kewang is expected to manage internal affairs and prosper the economy of Shuzhong, and a single article and martial arts can ensure that he, Zhang Xianzhong, the king of Shu, is comfortable.

But this is wishful thinking, Li Dingguo is a human being, he is not a tool, Zhang Xianzhong pulled the bias again and again, and pulling it once was an injury to him, again and again, and gradually cut Li Dingguo's heart.

After all, Zhang Xianzhong is only Li Dingguo's father-in-law, not his father, even if he is his father, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, and his parents will definitely be complained, and this is just a family matter, Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang are not family affairs, they have different political views.

Wang Jiadong saw all this in his eyes, bowed his head quietly, and took a sip of wine, this is what he wants to see, the highest achievement of being a spy is to turn the target that needs a spy into his own camp, and Wang Jiadong wants to fool Li Dingguo to Lantian County, in Wang Jiadong's opinion, Zhang Xianzhong's so-called army is a large bandit nest, and it is difficult to show Li Dingguo's military talent at all.

If Li Dingguo is sent to Lantian County, it will definitely be the treasure of Lantian County, because Li Dingguo is good at offensive warfare, and several division commanders in Lantian are not very good at offensive warfare.

And Li Dingguo was sent over to make up for this shortcoming.

It is precisely because of Li Dingguo's excellent military ability that Li Chaosheng bothered so much that he sent Wang Jiadong to serve as his deputy general since he was a child and launched the Young Phoenix Plan.

Wang Jiadong was silent, Zhang Xianzhong may also feel that he was too obvious, so he diverted the topic: "By the way, one more thing, your fourth brother is still detained in Lantian now, this is not good, we have to find a way to save him, I mean tomorrow our army will come to the Tongqian Pass and send a messenger to Lantian to ask for someone, if Lantian dares not to give it, let's give him some color and see." ”

Hearing this, Sun Kewang said: "Yes, the fourth child can't help it, Lantian is too deceitful, so leave this matter to me." ”

Zhang Xianzhong nodded when he heard this, "It's okay." ”

After speaking, Zhang Xianzhong said: "Okay everyone, let's rest tonight, tomorrow we will come to Tongqian Pass, and we will meet the elite of Lantian for a while." ”

"Yes."

Everyone gave up their hands and then got up and left the table, Li Dingguo stood up and walked out at this time, but Sun Kewang stopped Li Dingguo.

"Dick."

Li Dingguo stood and looked at Sun Kewang, Sun Kewang said with a smile: "Second child, these days I am fortunate that you have been guarding the copper coin pass for your brother, and in the next few days, let my brother and I guard the copper coin pass for you, and you can rest and rest." ”

"Great Commander, you don't pay attention to it, I have been guarding the copper coin pass with Dingguo for half a month, and you are going to pick peaches when you come back, isn't it appropriate?"

"Wang Jiadong, what are you, our commander level speaks, it's your turn to interject? Don't think that your father-in-law said that you are half of his godson, you are half of his godson, and when you are qualified to worship your father-in-law, it's not too late to interject. ”

As soon as Wang Jiadong spoke here, Liu Wenxiu came over with a word, Li Dingguo frowned and looked at Liu Wenxiu when he heard this, and said: "Third child, what are you, you fight like shit, if it weren't for Jiadong urging me to leave quickly that day, you would have been captured alive by Lantian a long time ago, and you still have the face to bark here, get out of the way." ”

Li Dingguo shouted angrily at this time, Liu Wenxiu instinctively took a step back, Liu Wenxiu was instinctively afraid of Li Dingguo, and at this time he was beaten by Li Dingguo since he was a child.

Seeing this, Sun Kewang narrowed his eyes and said, "Why do you still want to compare with me in your father-in-law's big tent?" ”

Hearing this, Li Dingguo glanced at Sun Kewang deeply, and then said to Wang Jiadong: "Jiadong, let's go." ”

Saying that, the two left in a huff, left the camp, and came to a big tree in the distance, and Li Dingguo roared angrily: "The righteous father is partial, his grandson is expected to lose the battle and lose the lives of more than 15,000 brothers, so he was locked up for three days, how can this serve the public, how can it be worthy of the souls of 15,000 people who died." ”

Li Dingguo roared angrily, Wang Jiadong watched quietly from the side, at this time, ordinary spies might persuade Li Dingguo to join his family, but Wang Jiadong didn't, Wang Jiadong just looked at Li Dingguo quietly, and even felt a little sorry for Li Dingguo.

During the whole process, he didn't say a word about leaving Zhang Xianzhong, and he didn't even say a bad word about Sun Kewang and Liu Wenxiu.

When Li Dingguo finished venting, Wang Jiadong looked at Li Dingguo with a smile and said, "Okay, it's not the first time, let's go, go back and cook noodles for you." ”

Li Dingguo heard this and said, "Jiadong, aren't you angry at all? ”

Wang Jiadong heard this and said: "What is there to be angry about, if it weren't for your father-in-law, you would have starved to death in northern Shaanxi, and now it's just to make you a little angry, what's there." ”

Hearing this, Li Dingguo said angrily: "There is only one life left and right, I will give it to him, how can the eldest husband be angry every day." ”

"Be cautious."

Wang Jiadong looked at Li Dingguo and said, Li Dingguo looked at Wang Jiadong when he heard this, then turned around and said: "Go back to the camp, inform the brothers to rest for a few days, the camp will be handed over to Sun Kewang's department, let's rest." ”

"Yes."

Li Dingguo walked to the camp tent, his figure was a little lonely, Wang Jiadong looked at Li Dingguo's back and said: "Such a good man, he shouldn't stay with this group of filthy people, Lantian is the best place for him to go, so that he can show his ambitions." ”

Wang Jiadong shook his head thinking about it, but unfortunately he couldn't encourage him to go to Lantian now, and he couldn't instigate him to make any decisions, because according to Li Dingguo's character, if he fooled to Lantian by himself, he would definitely be resistant when he reacted, and he couldn't serve Lantian wholeheartedly.

But if he chooses to go to Lantian by himself, then he has no chance to regret it, because all decisions are made by himself.

Wang Jiadong thought about it and followed Li Dingguo back to the camp.

In the early morning of the next day, Sun Kewang led 30,000 people into Li Dingguo's defense area to change the guard, and in the afternoon, Zhang Xianzhong led more than 100,000 troops to Tongqian Pass.

The copper coin closed Li Dezhen, and Li Chaomeng took the telescope to look at the rebel army densely packed below, holding a big sword and spear in his hand.

"Good guy, this is really out of sight, Zhang Xianzhong is also bloody this time."

Li Chaomeng said with a telescope at this time, Li Dezhen looked at the hundreds of thousands of people in front of him and his scalp was numb, although the weapons these people were holding backward, but this team with no end in sight still gave people a great sense of oppression.

It was also the first time for Li Dezhen to face such a large number of troops, and he couldn't help but feel apprehensive.

"Adjutant, have all our troops been on the city wall?"

Li Dezhen called the adjutant at this time to ask about the city defense, and the adjutant heard this and said: "Don't worry, commander, everyone is in the defense position." ”

"Well, inform all the staff to check the muskets, all the gunpowder is loaded, and take all the five thousand grenades in the arsenal, if the enemy attacks the city, don't save bullets for Lao Tzu, give me a hard beating, until I run out."

Li Dezhen shouted, and after hearing this, the adjutant said: "Division commander, is the light you talking about grenades, or is it referring to people?" ”

Li Dezhen said: "It is necessary to shoot the grenade, and people can also light it if necessary, understand?" ”

"Yes."

The adjutant saluted and immediately ran to the arsenal to concentrate the last five thousand grenades at the bottom of the box on the ramparts.

Li Dezhen was pacing back and forth on the city wall at this time, and the adjutant ran back and said, "Division commander, the grenade has been sent down." ”

Li Dezhen looked at the adjutant and said, "When will the artillery that the county lord said will arrive?" ”

When the adjutant heard this, he said, "The county lord sent someone to transport it out yesterday, but the artillery is heavy, and even if it is day and night, I am afraid it will not arrive until tonight." ”

Li Dezhen heard this and said: "Okay, then we have to hold on until the artillery arrives anyway, by the way, what about Shi Dalei, when will they arrive?" ”

When the adjutant heard this, he said, "I'm afraid it will be tomorrow." ”

Li Dezhen heard this and said, "Well, you go down." ”

Li Dezhen said and waved his hand to let the adjutant go down, Li Chaomeng saw Li Dezhen's nervousness at this time and said, "Dezhen, are you nervous?" ”

Li Dezhen smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Nearly 200,000 troops are under the city, and there are less than 20,000 people in our city plus the militia. ”

Li Chaomeng smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, our Lantian army relies on the checkpoint, and the weapons are excellent, the ammunition is sufficient, and it is not a problem to hold the copper coin pass, you, you just lack the training of the big war, and it would be good to have the opportunity to let the county zun send you out and fight with the Tartars." ”

Li Dezhen smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Also, I have been serving as a guard corps all these years, and this kind of big scene is rare, so I can't help but be a little nervous." ”

After saying this, Li Dezhen looked at Li Chaomeng and said, "Uncle Meng, thank you very much." ”

Li Chaomeng waved his hand and said: "It's nothing, don't look at him Zhang Xianzhong seems to be a strong soldier and a strong horse, there are a lot of people and horses, but if it really fights, we are not afraid of them, if there are more people in this war, we can win, then we don't need to learn the art of war, study weapons, as long as the people on both sides are pulled out and counted, then the victory or defeat is decided." ”

"If we really follow this rule, we would have taken down Liaodong a long time ago, and we would have been able to make the Tartars arrogant for so many years."

Li Chaomeng is sometimes very wise, he actually belongs to the type of wise foolishness, sometimes he can get to the point in one sentence of many things, which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Li Dezhen was comforted by Li Chaomeng for a few words, and immediately cheered up, and what he said was that fighting is not much more than that, don't look at Zhang Xianzhong's many people, but it is a scarecrow in the rice field to scare the birds.

The formation is so dense, this cannon can kill dozens of people, let alone collapse dozens of people, thinking of this, Li Dezhen relaxed, followed by a careful inspection at the various checkpoints of the Tongqian Pass, and once again regained his previous wisdom and prudence.

Li Dezhen does lack some training in big battles, but I believe that after this battle, he will definitely have a qualitative leap, there is a common problem at the top of Lantian, that is, he is too young, except for Li Chaolong, who is in his thirties, the rest are young people in their early twenties, although in this era when they can get married at the age of fourteen, their twenties are mature enough.

But in terms of politics and the army, he is still a little immature, which has two benefits, the first is that he is young and energetic, full of energy, and there is no old fritter in officialdom, and it is precisely because of these energetic young people that Lantian is growing rapidly every day.

The second is enough integrity, young people, especially young people with dreams, are not as eager for money as those officialdom old oilmen, in fact, it is understandable that the group of officialdom old oilmen in Daming have studied hard for ten years, and they don't know how many times they can be admitted to the Jinshi and have the qualifications to be officials.

And the Jinshi in the examination is not an immediate opportunity to be an official, you have to have a good life, see if there is a chance, no chance, you can only be a backup official, there are too many alternate officials in the Ming Dynasty, there are many candidates for more than ten years to get a chance to be released to the county.

At this time, you have been in poverty for half your life, looking at your peers, some of them have made a fortune in business, and you have been gnawing on the nest for more than ten years, and finally have a chance to make money, don't you play with your life to make money?

Otherwise, how can you be worthy of the efforts of the first half of your life, and you have no one in the officialdom, you can almost predict that your career is the end, so don't you play with corruption?

And these young officials in Lantian are different, they have been reused since graduating from Lantian Academy, they have not experienced a long period of back-up, and their hearts have not been perverted.

Secondly, their upside is very transparent, as long as they work hard, they can get rewards, so are they crazy and corrupt and self-destructive future?

Of course, there are advantages, but there are also disadvantages, such as young people with little experience, unstable heart, and easy to be swayed by emotions, such as Li Dezhen's uneasy mood just now.

However, after a series of comforts from Li Chaomeng just now, Li Dezhen also regained his previous composure, and at this time he inspected various positions, and at this moment, he suddenly saw Zhang Xianzhong's military camp flying out of a horse, and a middle-aged literati sitting on it came to the city and shouted: "I am the messenger of the Lantian guerrilla general Zhang Xianzhong, please see your general." ”
