Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 112 Li Dingguo

"Get out of the way, out of the way—"

The already sparse streets are even more sparse at this time.

After a while, the war horse stopped at the government office.

In front of the yamen, a large number of soldiers gathered and stood guard, with tense faces.

"General Ren, the leader is waiting for you!"

As soon as Ren Jiguang arrived, the guards took him directly into the mansion.

"Okay!" Ren Jiguang strode away regardless of his fatigue, feeling extremely anxious.

As the defense envoy of Jingzhou, he had only [-] soldiers and horses under his command, while Lao Hui returned to Ma Shouying with more than [-] men, and he was still an old battalion that traveled all over the world.

Once Ma Shouying died of illness, not to mention whether he could control these ten thousand people, just speaking, Zhang Xianzhong, who was covetously in Yuezhou, he couldn't resist at all.

He was terrified at the thought of this grave consequence.

After a while, he could be brought to the ward, full of herbal smell.

On the bed, Lao Hui looked haggard and thin, coughing constantly, and his voice sounded extremely uncomfortable.

All the people in the room held their breaths, not daring to disturb them in the slightest.

"Jiguang, you're here!"

Lao Huihui raised his head, looked at Ren Jiguang who had come all the way, and showed a smile.

"You are sick, I should have come a long time ago." Ren Jiguang said hastily.

"After fighting for a lifetime, my body has long been exhausted. It is a blessing to die on the bed now."

Old Hui Hui was like an old bellows, panting violently, rested for a while, and then replied.

Ren Jiguang frowned, and leaned closer: "I'm afraid you don't know, Xiwang Xuanyang, will go to Bashu to establish achievements, hundreds of thousands of troops are watching, Jingzhou is at stake."

"Whoohoo-"

Old Huihui panted heavily, and said, "I heard about it."

"When he goes to Bashu, he must pass through Jingzhou. You are afraid that you will be overwhelmed."

"Or, it's because I'm worried that he will annex my followers."

"That's right!" Ren Jiguang nodded, his face heavy: "If something goes wrong in Jingzhou, I won't be able to explain it to King Shun."

"Ha ha!"

Lao Hui smiled lightly, and said: "A person's death is like a lamp being extinguished, and he can't care about the affairs behind him."

"The battle between King Chuang and King Xi, let them go!"

After saying that, Ren Jiguang was kicked out.

After leaving the government office, Ren Jiguang had mixed feelings.

The spring rain was blowing on the face, and the cold wind was howling. No matter how thick the cotton robe on his body was, it could not stop the wind from entering. He stretched and stretched as much as possible, and said melancholy:

"In Yulin at this time, the mountains must be covered by heavy snow!"

Being in a foreign land, he is extremely envious of his colleagues who have returned to Guanzhong.

Although the south is good, it is not my hometown after all.

His barracks are outside the city, while the inside of the city is Lao Huihui's territory, without interfering with each other.

"drive--"

The cold rain hit his face, but it couldn't dissipate his melancholy.

Hundreds of personal guards followed closely, not daring to relax for a moment.

Suddenly, the muddy ground shook, and hundreds of war horses roared towards them, instantly surrounding them.

Ren Jiguang reined in his horse and stopped, looked at the sudden group of soldiers and horses, and said in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

"Brother Jiguang, long time no see, you don't even recognize me?"

Among the riders, a man suddenly stepped out, tall and straight, with red lips and white teeth, handsome face, wearing white armor, just like a figure walking out of a painting.

Ren Jiguang was startled suddenly: "Why, Li Dingguo, why are you in Jingzhou?"

"Old back? Impossible!"

"Hahahaha!"

Holding the spear, Li Dingguo laughed and said, "Old Huihui has always been aloof, so he won't look for him."

"You have occupied Chengtian Mansion?"

Ren Jiguang narrowed his eyes and guessed.

"Eight or nine is close to ten!"

Li Dingguo nodded, and then said: "Ren Jiguang, you and I are fellow villagers, and I will not bully you, one-on-one."

"If you win, you can leave naturally."

Ren Jiguang looked solemn.

He had already heard about Li Dingguo.

In the 14th year of Chongzhen, he pretended to be an official, Qingqi 20 people, and seized Xiangyang. Yang Sichang, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, had stored more than [-] military funds, all of which were income.

As a result, Zhang Xianzhong turned from defeat to victory with momentum like a rainbow.

"it is good!"

Ren Jiguang had no choice but to agree, he looked at the young general in front of him, and couldn't help saying: "If we die in the hands of the famous 'Xiao Yuchi', we will die with no regrets."

Because of his daring to fight, Li Dingguo was called "Little Yuchi" and "The Enemy of Ten Thousand People".

"It's the same below."

Li Dingguo clasped his fists and said with a chic smile.

The war horse under his crotch was breathing hot air and snorting, obviously full of fighting spirit.

The two stared at each other, observing the flaws.

"Huh, Li Dingguo, I'm going to kill you—"

But he said that after observing for a long time, Ren Jiguang didn't find any flaws in it.

Li Dingguo laughed and said, "General Ren, Li's head is here, hurry up and get it."

As he said that, he put his legs on the horse and started to run.

"Crack-"

One back and forth, regardless of the outcome, the weapons rubbed against each other, bursting out ear-piercing wear and tear sounds.

"it is good!"

Li Dingguo became more and more excited, he rubbed his wrist, and said: "General Ren really deserves his reputation."

"Hmph! You're not bad either."

Ren Jiguang responded with trembling wrists.

"continue--"

Li Dingguo took the first step at this time, the spear in his hand gleamed coldly.

Ren Jiguang's scalp was numb, he suppressed his heart palpitations, and rode away.

"Den-"

The two horses staggered for a moment, and there was no weapon in Ren Jiguang's hand.

"I lost!"

Ren Jiguang said frankly: "You kill me, I will not betray King Shun."

"When did I say I would take your life?"

Li Dingguo watched with great interest, and said with a light smile, "General Ren, you only need to persuade your army to surrender, and I will not force you to surrender."

Ren Jiguang was taken aback, and couldn't help asking: "How many people are here from your army?"

"It's right in front of your eyes!"

Li Dingguo said without hesitation: "There are still soldiers and horses coming, but most of Lao Huihui's subordinates have been persuaded. If your army surrenders again, Jingzhou will change hands today."

"Good trick!"

Ren Jiguang smiled bitterly: "It seems that my leaving the camp today is also your plan."

"That's right!" Li Dingguo said with a smile: "If you stay in the barracks for a long time, it will be difficult to win."

"Convince yourself!"

Ren Jiguang nodded helplessly.

Immediately, Li Dingguo subdued the [-] intruders with hundreds of horses.

The next day, Lao Huihui died of illness, and all the soldiers and horses under his command joined the Western Army in unison.

Huguang was in turmoil in an instant.

Zhang Xianzhong came to Jingzhou a few days later.

"Dingguo, you did a good job."

Zhang Xianzhong nodded in satisfaction, and said: "After Jingzhou, the Yiling Road is very close at hand, and the passage for us to enter Shu after making meritorious deeds will be officially opened."

"This is what a child should do." Li Dingguo said modestly, cupping his hands.

"Father, after taking Jingzhou, why don't we just take Xiangyang? Monopolize Huguang?"

Sun Kewang stood up and said in a deep voice: "Huguang is rich, no less than Bashu, connecting Guangdong and Guangxi, going east to Jiangnan, why go west?"

"What do you know!"

Zhang Xianzhong heard the words, and immediately retorted: "The Ming army is everywhere in Huguang, how can we build a business with peace of mind?"

"Li Zicheng has Guanzhong, and someone occupies Bashu. When the situation changes, he will follow the example of Han Gaozu and take down the country."

"I haven't seen anyone who can unify the world in Huguang. At that time, there was only Chen Youliang, who was also a man of no faith."
