Vow to die at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 223 All Quiet in the West ([-])
"What? Promise to negotiate peace with the Tartars?" Li Dingguo exclaimed after receiving Sun Kewang's order in the camp of the East Route Army in Xiangtan County, Changsha Prefecture.

When the Tartars expressed their views on peace talks, Li Dingguo disagreed.It's just that his lieutenants Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong both insisted on asking King Qin for advice.Now in the Great Western Army, Qin Wangsun Kewang is the most powerful, and Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong in his East Army are both Qin Wang's people.It was precisely because of the containment of these two people that he could only retreat to Xiangtan, looking at Changsha Fucheng not far away, but he could not go to fight.

At this moment, although Li Dingguo's military strength is slightly inferior to that of the Tartars, he has the courage to fight.After the annihilation of Kong Youde, the morale of the Eastern Route Army swelled to the extreme, and the fear of the Tartars also decreased a lot.However, when they met the Tartar army and retreated to Xiangtan after a few small-scale contacts, their morale dropped, and it became lower day by day.Li Dingguo himself felt that if he did not fight again, his troops would lose the courage to fight the Tartars again.

Therefore, when he heard that brother-in-law was going to have peace talks with the Tartars, that kind of anger burst out suddenly, almost unbearable.The adoptive father died at the hands of the Tartars, how could he, as a foster son, negotiate peace with the Tartars?In extreme annoyance, he recruited some generals in the battalion to the tent of the Chinese army.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, several generals under Li Dingguo's command gathered together, including Feng Shuangli, Ma Jinzhong, Zhang Sheng, Gao Wengui, Dou Mingwang and others.

When Li Dingguo stated that he was going to violate Sun Kewang's instructions and prepare to lead his army to attack Changsha Fucheng, Feng Shuangli and Ma Jinzhong tried to dissuade him.

"Think twice, Marshal! Since King Qin has made arrangements, how can we change without authorization!"

"The Tartars are strong and strong, since they can live together peacefully, why do they want to start a war without authorization?"

Zhang Sheng also said: "Nowadays most of the Tartar troops are restrained by the security regiment. If we wait to fight the Tartars in Hunan, we will definitely restrain the Tartar troops and do things for the security regiment. This is not in the interests of our Daxi army. .”

Hearing these words, Li Dingguo couldn't bear it anymore, he cursed angrily.

"The Tartars are the great enemy of our clan. Now that the security regiment has managed to reinvigorate the world against the Tartars, at this time, when our heroes rise up and drive the Tartars out of the Central Plains, how can they all be like you and others? Since Jiashen, it was you who waited for too many people with such filthy thoughts, so that the great rivers and mountains fell into the hands of the Tartars! Have you all forgotten the late emperor's blood feud?"

After being scolded by Li Dingguo, Feng Shuangli, Ma Jinzhong, and Zhang Sheng blushed, but they couldn't get angry when they wanted to.Now that they serve under Li Dingguo's command, they are naturally his subordinates.Although the three of them are confidantes of Qin Wang Sun Kewang, they dare not offend Li Dingguo, who can stand on an equal footing with Sun Kewang.

At this time, Feng Shuangli blushed and argued to Li Dingguo.

"Commander, this last general is for the sake of the Great West Army. When the security regiment and the Tartars lose both sides, who else in this world can stop our Great West Army? At that time, the revenge of the late emperor will naturally be avenged!"

Disappointed, extremely disappointed.Li Dingguo looked at Gao Wengui and Dou Mingwang again, his eyes full of anticipation.Unlike Feng Shuangli, Ma Jinzhong, and Zhang Sheng, Gao Wengui and Dou Mingwang are his confidantes.

What disappointed Li Dingguo was that although Gao Wengui and Dou Mingwang didn't object to his opinion, it could be seen from their eyes that they agreed with Feng Shuangli's statement.

After being stared at by Li Dingguo unbearably, Gao Wengui and Dou Mingwang could only bite the bullet and stand up and speak.

"The final general listens to the opinion of the general, what the general says, the final general will do."

At this moment, Li Dingguo regretted it very much. He should not have given up the attack when he received the envoy from the Tartars asking for peace.Originally, he thought that his brother-in-law would not agree. In order to ease the conflict with his brother-in-law, Li Dingguo slowed down his offensive and allowed Feng Shuangli to spread the news to Guizhou.But what Li Dingguo never expected was that Sun Kewang agreed to peace talks!
After the generals left, Li Dingguo sat still on the chair for a long time.Unlike the generals under his command who are loyal to the Great Western Army, he is loyal to the nation.The generals are thinking about the Daxi Army, hoping to see the Tartars and the security regiment fight for both sides.But Li Dingguo didn't want to see this. Now the Tartars are still powerful, and every time the anti-Tartar forces are reduced, the relative strength of the Tartars will be stronger.If you blindly expect others to fight for both sides, maybe when it is your turn, you will look up and see that the whole world has fallen into the hands of the Tartars; if you resist alone, there will be no reinforcements from abroad.At that time, the world will really be fishy, ​​and the land of Shenzhou will sink.

This is the end of the Ming Dynasty, not the end of the Yuan Dynasty.At that time, the Mongolian Tartars were at sunset, and Zhu Yuanzhang could sit back and watch Liu Futong, Xu Shouhui, Chen Youliang and others fight to the death with the Mongolian Tartars, while accumulating strength by himself.After defeating the heroes who rebelled together, he swung his troops to the north, picking up a country like picking up things.At this moment, the Tartars are in full swing, if the heroes of the Han family don't unite, they will be defeated by the Tartars one by one.

Send troops, send troops.Li Dingguo repeated in his heart.He decided to send troops to attack Changsha Fucheng to relieve the pressure on the security regiment in the east.

But when Li Dingguo summoned all the generals on the second day and was about to send troops to Changsha Fucheng, a news came like a bolt from the blue, which almost made Li Dingguo faint.

Not long ago, Feng Shuangli, Ma Jinzhong and Zhang Sheng left the camp with their troops.The soldiers and horses under the command of the three accounted for nearly half of the army. After leaving, Li Dingguo had only [-] soldiers and horses left.The Tartars have a full strength of [-]. To attack [-] with [-] is not heroic, but stupid.To be a general, you should use superior forces to meet the enemy. Even if your forces are insufficient, you should try your best to form an advantage in local forces against the enemy.

Therefore, in order to preserve the vitality of the anti-Tartar forces, Li Dingguo had to give up his plan to attack Changsha Fucheng.Instead, he led the rest of the army to retreat all the way south until he withdrew from Changsha Mansion and arrived at Hengzhou Mansion, where he confronted the Tazi army.At this moment, the gap between Li Dingguo and Sun Kewang deepened.Originally, the relationship that gradually eased after Li Dingguo gave up supporting Remnant became unharmonious.

Naturally, the Tartars won't easily start a war if they have achieved their goal. Now that the Great Western Army has retreated, Jierhalang ordered Nikan to bring [-] elite troops to Anqing Prefecture in Jiangnan Province to support the four provinces who are stationed there. Hong Chengchou.

After the Great Western Army and the Tartars in the west fell into a confrontation, the pressure on the headquarters of the security regiment intensified.
