When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he remembered the war during the day and thought it was OK, after all, he had just persisted for a long time.

But who knew that after Zhang Dingguo was silent for a moment, he spoke again: "My adoptive father said that if it were the Bai Gan Army, judging from the performance of the Battle of Hunhe, it would be fine if he persisted for a long time, even if he persisted for a day. Even when reinforcements might come, the peasant army might even give up. But the Datong Army was different. If they really had the will to fight to the death, when the war was intensified yesterday, they would have invested all the remaining troops and might have defeated the peasant army."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he frowned and said, "In your adopted father's opinion, Wu Xiang has no intention of fighting to the death?"

After saying this, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be many escape generals in the late Ming Dynasty. Could it be that Wu Xiang was one of them?

"Yes, my adoptive father and Uncle Liu both believed that the Datong Army was hesitant to fight and did not have the intention to fight to the death. I am afraid that it will not last long in the battle tomorrow!"

Zhang Dingguo's answer made everyone silent. Because the Datong Army was greedy for merit and reckless, it was lured by the bandits into a prominent army and had already fought with the bandits, but the other two armies might be defeated before they could reach the battlefield.

This battle was very similar to the Battle of Sarhu, which had always been a pain in the Ming Dynasty. That time, several groups of people attacked in groups, but each group of people did not siege according to regulations, and made a breakthrough, and was defeated by Jianlu.

Emperor Chongzhen understood that it would be useless to hate Wu Xiang at this time, so he asked Zhang Dingguodao: "You ask your adopted father, can you have a way to turn the situation around?"

Zhang Dingguo fell silent after saying "Oh". This time he was silent for a long time. It felt like he had spoken again after a long time: "My adoptive father said that my adoptive father and Uncle Liu's troops were not many in the peasant army. If the two groups of people suddenly started a fight, it could cause chaos to the peasant army and have a certain chance of winning. But if the Datong Army did not have the will to fight to the death, it would probably have no effect. Maybe the Datong Army would flee while the peasant army was in chaos, and then our two groups would be in danger."

Or afraid of misunderstandings, Zhang Dingguo immediately added: "Only a few of our confidants knew that they had abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and the others didn't know it, so it's hard to say, otherwise if the news leaked, there would be a risk of being exposed. Therefore, my adoptive father felt that this war would be won and could not be completely dependent on the sudden action of our two men."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this. This was not an excuse. If he had been recruited by the court, he had to keep it as confidential as possible in the thief's den. Otherwise, who could guarantee that the person had hatred of the court and did not want to be recruited and leaked the news, and there were thieves around him, which would definitely be very dangerous.

However, in this way, the key to finally encircling and eliminating the thieves is to return to the starting point, which depends on the Datong Army's desire to fight to the death. It's a pity that there are no people in the chat group on the Datong Army, otherwise they will know the situation of the Datong Army. Even if they don't have the desire to fight to the death, they will still be able to fight to the death!

After so many years of siege, the final decisive battle occurred, which made Emperor Chongzhen a little depressed. Will Wu Xianggang be named the Count fight to the death because of this?

He thought about it, but was still unsure. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he immediately chatted with Sun Chengzong privately and asked about Wu Xiang's leadership style. After all, Sun Chengzong should have a very good understanding of the generals from Guanning.

Unexpectedly, after Sun Chengzong learned about the importance of the war, he carefully asked about the specific situation of the war. After a while, he actually gave an indefinite answer: Wu Xiang may not fight to the death!

Needless to say, Wu Xiang would definitely not fight to the death. Emperor Chongzhen came to the conclusion in his heart and couldn't help but be very angry. After the war ended, he would settle the score with Wu Xiang. Generals who could not fight to the death were worthy of having a high position in the army?

Just when he was a little worried about tomorrow's war, he heard Zhang Dingguo speak again after being silent for a long time: "My adoptive father said that if there were any government troops who could cooperate and suddenly attack the peasant army while the night was dark, my adoptive father and Uncle Liu could cooperate immediately to create chaos, and this would be a great chance to win!"

After saying that, he immediately added: "If there was no official army appear and it was just a fake news, it would probably not have much effect."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought to himself that you are not nonsense. If there is an official army who can attack the thieves in the night, what else can I say? But even if the other two people traveled together at night, they would have to arrive tomorrow morning!

Just as he was thinking this, Sun Chuanting, who had not spoken, suddenly spoke: "I'll do this!"

"You?" Emperor Chongzhen was happy at first, then shook his head, "Dai County does not have any army, what are you going to attack the thieves? Without the protection of the city wall, the troops in Dai County will be too dangerous!"

"Yes, there are many thieves, and the few people in your Dai County are not enough for the thieves to see." Zhang Fengyi also expressed his opinion at this time, "If the soldiers are not strong, there are not many people, and there is no advantage. Maybe Dai County will be in danger."

When Sun Chuanting saw the opinions expressed by the two of them one after another, he still insisted on his own opinion, but he also put forward the conditions: "As long as the court can reward me heavily, I will be able to attack the death-threatening people. With the cover of the night, I will let someone pretend to be the Yansui Army. The thieves do not know the details. In addition, with Zhang and Liu guerrilla cooperation, this matter will be accomplished!"

"What should I do if the thieves who besieged the city?" Zhang Fengyi had rich combat experience and immediately raised questions.

Sun Chuanting seemed to have thought about it, so he immediately replied: "The thieves withdrew their main force early this morning to ambush the Datong army. They surrounded three and one, and the number of people was greatly reduced. As long as they were cautious, the thieves in the besieged city would never have thought that I would lead the army out of the city and would be able to smuggle by."

That's it, but this action is obviously very dangerous. Sun Chuanting actually had to lead the army to fight in person. Among civil officials, this courage can be said to be the first person besides Lu Xiangsheng! Emperor Chongzhen thought about this, and he couldn't help but have a strong interest in Sun Chuanting.

At this time, Zhang Dingguo immediately spoke, "My adoptive father said that as long as the official army suddenly appears, it would be best to fake the Yansui Army. Among the peasant army, especially the peasant army coming from Qin, the most feared thing is the Yansui Army. At that time, my adoptive father and Uncle Liu will respond immediately and create chaos. In the dark night, others will not know the details, so this battle will definitely be won!"
