Chapter 516: Nan Ming
Feng Shuangli said hatefully: "These assassins are really hateful to him, but the general can rest assured, General Murong has already led people to arrest the assassin who escaped." With General Murong's kung fu, he will definitely be able to arrest that assassin. ”
Li Dingguo sighed: "I hope so, although the assassin is gone, he is still careless." Order all battalions to increase their sentry posts and not slack off!"
Feng Shuangli was ordered to go down to arrange additional patrols and arrest the assassins. Li Dingguo walked into the room with the treasure knife, put the treasure knife on the knife holder in the main hall, looked at it again and again, and silently thought about it in his heart.
On this night, the officers and men of each battalion were waiting for the battle as if they were facing a great enemy. Multiple patrol squads intensified patrols between the battalions to apprehend the Assassins.
Didn't you know that the Assassin escaped from the courtyard, escaped his pursuers with great speed, and then staggered into another courtyard, familiarizing himself with the path as if he were returning home.
The Assassin entered a room, changed into his black night coat, and put on a guard's suit.
Everyone tossed all night, and Li Dingguo didn't sleep all night.
At dawn, Murong Feihu returned.
When Li Dingguo saw him returning, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Did the assassin catch him?"
Murong Feihu replied, "Report to the general, the assassin has been taken down by me. ”
Li Dingguo said loudly: "Okay! Bring him to see me immediately!"
Murong Feihu's face was embarrassed, and he said hesitantly: "General, I'm afraid this is not very convenient. ”
Li Dingguo asked with a look of surprise, "What's the matter?"
Murong Feihu hurriedly said, "That's not true. It's just that this assassin is just too powerful. It took a great deal of effort to get him there, and now he is locked up in an iron prison, chained, and afraid to let him out. That's why I said it's not very convenient. ”
Li Dingguo remembered the thrilling scene at night, and knew that this assassin was indeed not simple, so he nodded and said, "Then lock him up for three days first and sharpen his sharpness." ”
Murong Feihu said in a low voice: "General, these two assassins have been caught, but my subordinates feel that this matter is probably not so simple. ”
Li Dingguo looked at Murong Feihu and asked, "What do you mean?"
Murong Feihu looked around and said in a low voice: "General, think about it, these two assassins broke into here so smoothly, and they first set a fire to the western camp and transferred all the guards here, and then took advantage of the chaos to assassinate the general, and were almost escaped by the masked assassin afterwards." How did the two Assassins do it......?
Li Dingguo also said in a low voice: "You mean that there are traitors in our army?"
Murong Feihu nodded lightly.
Li Dingguo's heart also sudden, he paced back and forth, and muttered for a moment. These two assassins are easy to deal with, but if there is a mole, it will be a bit of a problem.
The so-called open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, if this traitor cannot be found, sooner or later it will be a disaster.
Li Dingguo whispered to Murong Feihu: "Don't make a noise about this matter, you check it for me, you must find out this matter clearly, if there is really a traitor, you must find him out for me." ”
Murong Feihu commanded: "The subordinates must do their best to find out this traitor and get rid of the troubles forever!"
Li Dingguo turned his head again and asked the guard next to him, "How is the assassin who was injured last night?"
The guard replied, "Someone just reported that the assassin was seriously injured, and the military doctor has treated him, but he is still unconscious, and it is estimated that it will take more than half a day to wake up." ”
Li Dingguo nodded and said, "Ignore them for now, let the battalion leaders come to discuss military affairs." ”
Not long after, Feng Shuangli and other battalion generals all came to the conference hall.
When Li Dingguo saw that everyone had arrived, he said loudly: "The generals are summoned here today to discuss a major matter. As you know, when we first rebelled, it was to fight against the imperial court, so that our brothers would have something to eat and not be starved to death. I, Emperor Onishi, led us to fight in the north and south, and finally laid down a piece of the country and established the Great Western Kingdom. At the same time, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, also entered the Beijing Division, forcing Emperor Chongzhen to commit suicide in the coal mountain. So far, the situation can be described as very good, and the people are expected to live a peaceful life for a few days. However, Wu Sangui, a traitor, actually took refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, opened the gate of Shanhaiguan, and led the Qing soldiers into the customs. The Qing army is the army of tigers and wolves, swallowing our Han people and killing our Han people. At this point, the struggle between us and the Ming Dynasty became a common struggle of our Han people against the Manchu invasion. But I don't say the result, everyone should also know that my Daxi Emperor died in the battle of Phoenix Mountain, Li Zicheng was defeated in Jiugong Mountain, Emperor Hongguang, Emperor Longwu, and Emperor Shaowu were defeated one after another, and they were humiliated to death one after another. Now, although the armies from all walks of life support the Yongli Emperor and work together to fight against the Manchus, the future can be described as very good. But I look at Sun Kewang that this person has wolf ambitions, and he has long planned to usurp the throne and establish himself as the king. Therefore, I decided to welcome Emperor Yongli into my Yunnan and protect his safety. I wonder what you think?"
Li Dingguo has always been brave and good at fighting, and his prestige in the army is very high, and the generals greatly admire him. The generals have always strongly agreed with the decision he made, but as soon as he said this, all the troops fell silent all at once.
Li Dingguo glanced at the faces of the generals and saw that everyone seemed to have doubts, but Feng Shuangli's expression was firm and carefree.
Li Dingguo asked Feng Shuangli loudly, "What does General Feng think?"
Feng Shuangli said without hesitation: "What the general said is extremely true! The Manchu Qing people occupy our territory and kill our people, and we must not bear it. What we need to do now is first of all to support Emperor Yongli and defend against foreign enemies. Sun Kewang and the general have long been separated, and sooner or later they will attack Emperor Yongli and us. Therefore, I resolutely support the general and welcome Emperor Yongli into my Yunnan to prevent Sun Kewang from doing unrighteous things. ”
Li Dingguo nodded, and asked another general, "What does General Liu think?"
The general surnamed Liu thought for a while and said: "General Qiyu, the last general also thinks that what the general said is very true, but the last general is worried, so we will become the target of everyone." ”
Li Dingguo looked at the others and said, "Do you think the same way?"
Everyone was silent.
Li Dingguo said loudly: "We were originally anti-thieves, rebelling and uprising, just to live a good life. But now the Qing soldiers have entered the customs and trampled on my great rivers and mountains. If they are not driven out, no one will want to have a good life. Now that we have been divided by the Ming Dynasty, we are no longer thieves, but ministers. There is only one way in front of us, and that is to support the Yongli Emperor and resist the Qing soldiers. Do you still want to repeat it, like Wu Sangui, and surrender to the Manchus?"
