Chapter 402 Self-Cultivation of Senior Spy

Zhang Xianzhong's injustice obviously aroused Li Dingguo's dissatisfaction. As a handsome man, the rewards and punishments are unknown, how can he convince the public?
Li Dingguo knew the importance of distinguishing rewards and punishments because he led troops to fight, but Zhang Xianzhong's obvious favoritism made Li Dingguo very depressed. Zhang Xianzhong saw Li Dingguo's depression at this time, but Zhang Xianzhong didn't feel that he was wrong. A handsome man should be rewarded and punished Clearly, but a king still needs to maintain balance, if the balance is broken, it will be even worse.

Maybe he will be ostracized by his subordinates, so Zhang Xianzhong must suppress Li Dingguo. There is no way that Li Dingguo is too good in military affairs. Sun Kewang is actually good at internal affairs, but Zhang Xianzhong is a gangster organization, and he does not have his own fixed territory. In terms of internal affairs, the entire team is managed militarily, so Sun Kewang can only force him to compete with Li Dingguo in the military.

It was worse than losing every time, but Zhang Xianzhong couldn't ignore Sun Kewang. If he didn't care about him, the balance Zhang Xianzhong needed would be broken, so Zhang Xianzhong pulled sideways again and again.

In fact, Zhang Xianzhong also had his own plans. Zhang Xianzhong's goal was always Shuzhong, so what Zhang Xianzhong wanted to do was to enter Shuzhong. As long as he entered Shuzhong, Li Dingguo would specialize in military affairs, suppress Shu Road, and ensure the safety of Shuzhong.

Sun Kewang was in charge of the internal affairs and prospered the economy in central Shu, and he could ensure that Zhang Xianzhong, the King of Shu, would be comfortable with every piece of paper and military.

But this is wishful thinking, Li Dingguo is a human being, he is not a tool, Zhang Xianzhong pulls sideways again and again, every pull is an injury to him, time and time again, gradually split Li Dingguo's heart.

After all, Zhang Xianzhong is just Li Dingguo's adoptive father, not his real father, even if he is a real father, there are many brothers and sisters in a family, and his parents are always at odds, so he will definitely be complained about, and this is just a family matter, Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang are not family affairs, They have political differences.

Wang Jiadong saw all this in his eyes, lowered his head calmly, and took a sip of wine. This is what he wanted to see. The highest achievement of being a spy is to instigate targets that need spies to his own camp, and Wang Jiadong is He really wanted to lure Li Dingguo to Lantian County. In Wang Jiadong's view, Zhang Xianzhong's so-called army was just a large bandit den, and it was difficult to show Li Dingguo's military talents.

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. They are the best in defensive warfare, but their shortcomings in offensive warfare Meaning.

And Li Dingguo can perfectly make up for this shortcoming when he is sent there.

It was also because of Li Dingguo's excellent military ability that Li Chaosheng was so bothered. He sent Wang Jiadong to serve as his deputy since he was a child, and launched the Young Phoenix Project.

Wang Jiadong kept his composure, Zhang Xianzhong probably felt that he was too sideways, so he changed the subject: "By the way, let me tell you one more thing, your fourth brother is still being detained in Lantian, this is not possible, we have to find a way To save him, what I mean is that tomorrow our army will approach Tongqian Pass and send envoys to ask Lan Tian for someone, if Lan Tian dares not to give, we will show him some color."

After hearing this, Sun Kewang said: "Yes, the fourth child has to be saved, Lan Tian is too deceitful, let me handle the issue of foster father."

Zhang Xianzhong nodded after hearing this, "That's fine."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xianzhong said: "Alright everyone, let's have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow we will come to Tongqian Pass to meet the elite of Lantian."

"Yes."

Everyone clasped their hands and got up to leave the table. At this moment, Li Dingguo stood up and walked out, but Sun Kewang stopped Li Dingguo.

"Second child."

Li Dingguo stopped to look at Sun Kewang, and Sun Kewang said with a smile on his face: "Second brother, it's a pity that you have guarded the copper coin for my brother these days, let me guard the copper coin for you in the next few days, so you can rest rest."

"Commander, you don't want to be particular about it. I have guarded the copper coin gate 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? We are talking at the commanding level. It's your turn to intervene? Don't think that the foster father said you are his half godson, and you are his half godson. When will you be qualified to worship righteousness?" Father, it's not too late to interrupt."

As soon as Wang Jiadong spoke here, Liu Wenxiu responded with a word. Li Dingguo frowned and looked at Liu Wenxiu and said, "Old man, what are you? You fight like shit. If Jiadong didn't urge me to Hurry up, you have been captured alive by Lan Tian long ago, and you still have the face to bark here, get the hell out of here."

Li Dingguo yelled angrily at this moment, and Liu Wenxiu instinctively took a step back. Liu Wenxiu was instinctively afraid of Li Dingguo, and at this time was the sequelae of being violently beaten by Li Dingguo since childhood.

Seeing this, Sun Kewang narrowed his eyes and said, "Second brother, do you still want to make gestures with me in foster father's big tent?"

After hearing this, Li Dingguo took a deep look at Sun Kewang, and then said to Wang Jiadong, "Let's go, Jiadong."

After saying that, the two left angrily, left the big camp, and came to a big tree in the distance. Li Dingguo roared angrily: "The foster father is biased, and his grandson Kewang lost the battle and lost the lives of more than 5000 brothers." , was locked up for three days, how can this convince the public, how can it be worthy of the souls of the 5000 people who died."

Li Dingguo roared angrily, and Wang Jiadong watched quietly from the side. At this time, ordinary spies might persuade Li Dingguo to join his family, but Wang Jiadong did not. Wang Jiadong just looked at Li Dingguo quietly, and even felt a little distressed. 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 back and cook noodles for you."

After hearing this, Li Dingguo said: "Jiadong, aren't you angry at all?"

Wang Jiadong heard this and said: "What's there to be angry about? If it weren't for your adoptive father, you would have starved to death in northern Shaanxi. Now it's just to make you feel angry. What's the matter?"

After hearing this, Li Dingguo said angrily: "The left and right are only one life, I will just give it to him, how can a man suffer from anger every day."

"Set the country with caution."

Wang Jiadong looked at Li Dingguo and said, Li Dingguo looked at Wang Jiadong after hearing this, then turned around and said: "Go back to the camp and tell the brothers to rest for a few days. The camp will be used by Sun Kewang's department. Let's rest."

"Yes."

Li Dingguo walked towards the tent, his figure was a little lonely, Wang Jiadong looked at Li Dingguo's back and said: "Such a good man should not stay with these dirty people. Lantian is the best place for him to express his heart." Ambitious."

Wang Jiadong shook his head thinking about it, but unfortunately I can't encourage him to go to Lantian now, and I can't encourage him to make any decisions, because according to Li Dingguo's personality, if he fooled him to Lantian by himself, he will definitely have resistance when he reacts, so Can't serve Lantian wholeheartedly.

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

Wang Jiadong thought, and followed Li Dingguo back to camp.

In the early morning of the next day, Sun Kewang led 3 people into Li Dingguo's defense area to change the guard. In the afternoon, Zhang Xianzhong led more than [-] troops to Tongqian Pass.

The copper coin closed Li Dezhen, and Li Chaomeng looked at the densely packed rebel army below with a telescope, holding swords and spears.

"My good fellow, this is truly endless. Zhang Xianzhong has also spent a lot of money this time."

Li Chaomeng said with a binoculars at this time, Li Dezhen's scalp felt numb looking at the 10,000+ people in front of him. Although the weapons these people were holding were behind, this endless team 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, so he felt uneasy.

"Adjutant, have all our troops climbed the city wall?"

At this moment, Li Dezhen called the adjutant to inquire about the situation of the city defense. After hearing this, the adjutant said: "Don't worry, Commander, everyone is on the defensive."

"Well, tell everyone to check the muskets, load all the gunpowder, and bring up all the [-] grenades in the arsenal. If the enemy attacks the city, don't save bullets for me. Give me a hard hit until they are all gone. .”

Li Dezhen shouted, and after hearing this, the adjutant said: "Master, are you talking about hand grenades, or are you referring to people?"

Li Dezhen said: "It is necessary to light up the grenades, and people can also be lighted up if necessary, do you understand?"

"Yes."

The adjutant saluted, and immediately ran to the arsenal to gather the last five thousand grenades at the bottom of the press box on the city wall.

Li Dezhen was pacing back and forth on the city wall at this time, and the adjutant ran back and said, "Master, the grenade has been fired."

Li Dezhen looked at the adjutant and said, "The county official said when will the support artillery arrive?"

The adjutant heard this and said: "The county lord sent people to transport it out yesterday, but the artillery is heavy. Even if it stays around day and night, it may take tonight to arrive."

After hearing this, Li Dezhen said: "Okay, then we must hold on until the artillery arrives no matter what. By the way, Shi Dalei, when will they arrive?"

The adjutant heard this and said: "I'm afraid it will be tomorrow."

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

As Li Dezhen said, he waved his hand to let the adjutant go down. At this moment, Li Chaomeng saw Li Dezhen's nervousness and said, "Dezhen, are you nervous?"

Li Dezhen smiled wryly when she heard the words: "Nearly 20 troops are under the city, and the number of militias in our city is less than 2. I have no idea."

Li Chaomeng smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, our Lantian army relies on checkpoints, and we have excellent weapons and sufficient ammunition. It is not a problem to guard the copper coins. You just lack the training of a big battle. There is a chance that the county will send you out to fight against the Tartars." Just one game."

Li Dezhen smiled wryly after hearing the words: "Yes, I have been serving as the guard army for these years. This kind of big scene is rare, so I am 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 Zhang Xianzhong as a strong soldier, with a lot of troops, but we won't be afraid of them when we really fight. If there are many people in this battle, we can win, then everyone doesn't need to learn the art of war or study weapons. Pull out the horses from both sides and count them, and the victory will be decided."

"If we really followed this rule, we would have taken Liaodong long ago, and we can still make the Tartars arrogant for so many years."

Li Chaomeng is sometimes very wise, but he is actually the type who is wise and foolish. Sometimes he can get to the point of many things in one sentence, which makes people confused.

Li Dezhen got a few words of comfort from Li Chaomeng, and immediately cheered up. What he said was true, the war is not too much, although Zhang Xianzhong has many troops, but it is just a scarecrow planted in the rice field to scare the birds.

The formation is so dense, if this cannon goes on, dozens of people can be killed, at least. Li Dezhen relaxes when he thinks of this, and then he checks carefully at each level of Tongqianguan, and regains his previous wisdom and wisdom. cautious.

Li Dezhen does lack some training in the big battle, but I believe that after this battle, he will definitely make a qualitative leap. There is a common problem among the top management in Lantian, that is, they are too young. Except for Li Chaolong, who is in his 30s, the rest are all in their 14s. Young people in their early years, although in this era when they can get married at the age of 20, they are mature enough in their [-]s.

However, he is still a little immature in terms of politics and military. This has two advantages. The first is that he is young and energetic, and he is full of energy. growth.

The second is enough integrity. Young people, especially young people with dreams, are not as eager for money as those old officials in the officialdom. In fact, it is understandable that those old officials in Daming have studied hard for ten years. How many times do you have to take the exam to be a Jinshi and have the qualifications to be an official.

Moreover, passing the Jinshi examination does not mean that you will have the opportunity to become an official immediately. You have to live well to see if there is a chance. If there is no chance, you can only be a backup official. There are too many alternate officials in Ming Dynasty, and there are many backups. It took more than ten years to get a chance to be released to the county magistrate.

At this time, you have wasted half of your life, half of your life in poverty. Looking at your peers, some of them have made a fortune in business, and they are living in a chic way. But after more than ten years of eating cornbread, you finally have a chance to make money. Playing your life to make money?

Otherwise, how can you be worthy of your hard work in the first half of your life, and you have no one in the officialdom, you can almost predict that your official career is the end, so are you not corrupting your life?
But these young officials in Lantian are different. They have been reused since they graduated from Lantian Academy, they have not experienced a long replacement, and they are not abnormal in their hearts.

Secondly, their room for improvement is very transparent, as long as they work hard, they will be rewarded, so are they crazy about embezzlement and ruining their future?
Of course, there are advantages, but there are also disadvantages, such as young people with little experience, unstable temperament, and easy to be influenced by emotions, such as Li Dezhen's uneasy emotions just now.

However, after a series of consolations from Li Chaomeng just now, Li Dezhen also regained her previous composure. At this time, she checked the various positions, and at this moment, she suddenly saw a horse flying out of Zhang Xianzhong's barracks, with a middle-aged literati sitting on it. Shouted under the city: "I am the envoy of Master Zhang Xianzhong, the guerrilla general of Lantian, please see your general."
