Chapter 1923 Curiosity can also save lives
Li Dingguo and the guards around him were shocked and looked around, and then he thought of Wu Sangui beside him. Then he realized that Wu Sangui was gone.
It was too late to wake up at this time.
The angry Li Dingguo shouted and ordered the same way to return.
Using trees to keep the body in front of him, the only 100 remaining guards protected Li Dingguo and fled to the forest.
However, this is a carefully planned situation. How could Li Dingguo easily escape?
Seeing countless figures appearing and surrounding Li Dingguo and the others.
Li Dingguo felt powerless, and the distance from the few miles outside the woods was probably impossible to pass!
But Li Dingguo was still roaring and waving the knife in his hand, "Run out... I can live one by one..."
At this time, Wu Sangui, who had disappeared for a short time, appeared surrounded by ambushers.
"King Jin... admit defeat, don't resist meaninglessly!" Wu Sangui shouted with a smile.
He is indeed qualified to laugh.
After dealing with the thousands of Western troops of Li Dingguo, Wu Sangui was like a fish in water, better than walking in the garden.
He was stunned and believed Li Dingguo.
Of course, most of this treasure theory is true, and the location is nearby.
Moreover, only Wu Sangui and Fang Guangchen knew about the treasure burying here.
However, when Fang Guangchen was abandoned, Wu Sangui had sent someone to transfer the goods.
His surrender was more about transferring this batch of goods to buy time.
That's right, you can live by putting your life to death.
Wu Sangui was sure that no matter whether Wu Zheng or Li Dingguo wanted to kill him or not, as long as he told this secret, he could temporarily save his life.
At least, until Wu Zheng and Li Dingguo get this batch of goods, he will not kill him.
Then, this matter is simple, and if it is reduced, it will be reduced.
What's wrong with the army being planted by Li Dingguo?
Whether it is the Daxi Army or Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry, the most essential difference between them and the Northern Expedition Army is that the Northern Expedition Army is a battle camp and a general who can flow, while their army is still the old system - soldiers follow the generals!
As long as the general does not change, the soldiers wave their hands and leave with a command.
Those who were placed were instantly removed.
So, the old saying is right. If you want to defy a force in an instant, the fastest way is to kill the leader of that force, and the rest is to defeat each one.
But Wu Zheng was in a hurry because Li Dingguo did not take Wu Sangui, who had lost his military power, to heart.
Of course, Wu Sangui has indeed understood the hearts of the people.
He knew that Li Dingguo could guess his relationship with Wu Zheng, but this was a false alarm.
Because I can guess, I will not guess anywhere else. Human nature is like this and I always trust my own judgment too much.
Wu Sangui was even very sure that no matter whether Li Dingguo or Wu Zheng or whether they were greedy for money or not, as long as they heard that there was such a huge amount of money, they would definitely be trapped. The reason was very simple. Raising soldiers was equivalent to burning money!
Li Dingguo was deceived. If Wu Zheng was there, it would probably not be much better.
....
The place where Li Dingguo was ambushed was actually not far from Luoyang City, but in the suburbs, it was only dozens of miles away.
If the defenders in the city know, they can arrive with at most one incense stick.
The question is, how can the defenders know?
Before Li Dingguo left the city, he did not mention anyone's intention to leave the city... No, he mentioned it to one person, his second son Li Sixing.
Li Sixing, who was already seventeen years old at this time, envied his brother Li Puxing for being sent to Hangzhou Prefecture by his father.
Especially when studying at the Jiangnan Military Academy, Li Puxing has now become the deputy commander of the First Northern Expedition Army, which makes Li Sixing even more envious.
Originally, Li Dingguo had no intention of joining the army in this battle, but was not quiet by Li Sixing, so he followed Li Sixing's wishes and led him north.
Logically speaking, Li Sixing is the second son of Li Dingguo. Although it is impossible for him to become the crown prince, he is also a young master.
Who dares to disrespect in the army?
However, Li Dingguo was very strict in his military administration and was promoted to military positions, so he had to rely on military merits.
When Li Sixing first entered the military, how could he get military achievements?
At Li Sixing's request, Li Dingguo made some peace and specially thought of an official position for his son - a deputy general to join the army.
If the name of the general joins the army is separated, it will be clear at a glance if the general joins the army.
Throughout history, the generals of the subordinates were usually deputy generals, often as commanders of the partial commanders, or as acting generals as pioneers.
As the name suggests, joining the army is equivalent to a consultant in later generations.
According to the division of responsibilities in the military, one is a civil and one is a military person, and its functions are completely different.
But Li Dingguo put the two positions together. This is not a disguised praise for his son's integrity in both civil and military affairs, but a hint that this is a rookie, boys, don't listen to him fooling him.
Isn't that the case?
Just like all dynasties, the one who truly commanded the world's troops was a general.
If you have to add the titles of "Zhennan", "Zhengdong", and "Pingxi" before the general, it can only mean that this is a titled general.
It’s not that these banned accounts are worthless, but that those with banned accounts are often not handsome.
Li Dingguo did not read a book, but the principles in the world were the same, but the expressions were different. He had been fighting for many years and was immersed in the officialdom for a long time. Li Dingguo used this official title to dispel the second son's hard work.
Li Sixing was very happy at first, but not long after, he found that his orders were not very effective.
So I asked someone to inquire in private and understood what his father meant. Now I was even more upset about going to Hangzhou Prefecture to find his brother.
If it weren't for Li Dingguo's internship, Li Sixing would have come to Xinyang Prefecture before Wu Zheng arrived.
Therefore, Li Dingguo was actually a little wary.
He knew that he was the head coach of one side and left the city without authorization, which was of great importance.
Before leaving the city, I told my son privately that he would do his job as a "vice general to join the army". As long as he came back, he might agree to Li Sixing to go to Hangzhou Prefecture.
In the past, the army followed the generals. If there was an accident in the commander, it would be the commander of the young commander.
This has been the case throughout history.
I will never care whether this young marshal can take on the burden.
At this time, Zuo Menggeng was used as an example, and later generations had Zhang Shaoshang as an example, which could prove this truth.
If Li Sixing had heard of it before, he would have been very happy.
But since he learned that his father used "a general to join the army" to fool him, Li Sixing thought he was not easy to deceive himself. Even if it was his words, he still held a skeptical attitude and needed verification!
Li Dingguo originally wanted to temporarily entrust Luoyang defense to his son, but this was actually true.
All the troops in the army have their own subordinates, saying that they are entrusting their sons, but in fact they just have a name to calm people's hearts. If there is any accident, all the troops will perform their duties, so there is no need for Li Sixing to do.
But Li Dingguo would never have thought that what he said would no longer be trusted by his son.
Not only did he distrust, but he instead aroused his son's unstoppable curiosity.
It is said that curiosity will kill a cat!
