Chapter 418 The Big Picture
Li Tingyu stepped on a rabbit bone under the table, made a "creaking" sound, and said with a smile: "It turns out that inside the Tartar court, like my Ming Dynasty, there is a mass of dog blood. Then Dorgon imitated me." It's ridiculous that the Han family has learned all of this."

The three people in the tent all laughed and felt touched.

Li Dingguo patted his hand on his thigh, and said with emotion: "The power struggle, right and wrong, who can tell clearly? Although Donglu is a savage, he has to admire my Han family's knowledge the most. How many Liaodong Confucian scholars in the inner courtyard, from When Nurhachi was a bandit chieftain, he was a pseudo-academic scholar, teaching the bandits etiquette and morality, but unexpectedly, the bandit chieftains learned it, but the first thing he did was use it on internal strife, not to mention that Hauge Well, how much meritorious service you have done for the Tartars, you will be killed if you say you want to kill, but this kind of self-destruction of the Great Wall is even worse than my Ming Dynasty!"

Wang Huan shook his head with a smile, and poured the water boiled on the charcoal stove into a clay pot. There were tea leaves in the pot. Once the boiling water was poured in, a burst of steam boiled up, and the aroma of tea overflowed the tent with the gas.

Li Tingyu sniffed the air with his nose, and couldn't help but praise, "Good tea!"

Wang Huan held the earthen pot, poured the tea into three coarse porcelain bowls one by one, and said, "Nikan ran away, but he left behind a lot of luggage. This guy knows how to enjoy himself, and he also brought top-quality yellow mountain hair in the army." Feng, this tea is fragrant but not overpowering, and has a deep flavor, which is very rare. Now Nikan has run away and taken advantage of us!"

Li Tingyu grinned, and said, "Small tea leaves are not cheap. Waiting for the adults to lead me to Shenyang and beat the Tartars back to the deep mountains and old forests, that will be a big bargain."

Li Dingguo picked up the teacup, took a sip and said with a smile: "Then I will take advantage of the small advantage today, and then take advantage of the big advantage in the future!"

The three of them laughed together and said a few jokes.Li Tingyu asked again: "In this way, Dorgon must have gone to Shiling pass once?"

Wang Huan stared intently at the lights, with deep eyes: "There is a very high chance that he will come. Azig is his brother, and he has stayed in Shanxi long enough. I can't find a more suitable person than him for the errands in Datong. , so even if Azig wanted to come, Dorgon would not let him."

"Compared with Nikan and Boluo, the rest of the princes are not as good as they are. Duduo is dead. If Jierhalang is in Beizhili, he is the most suitable person, but he is still in Huguang. Du Yinxi and He Tengjiao chased all the way to the edge of Guangxi, and at this time they were also rushing back to the north on a starry night. We made such a big commotion in Shanxi, which was actually tantamount to indirectly saving He Tengjiao's life. In this way, except for Dorgon himself Come, there is no other choice."

In history, He Tengjiao died in the Huguang campaign of Jierhalang and Luck Dehun. Calculating the time, he was not far away from his death, but the Huguang Qing army stopped going south under the order of Dorgon. Immediately returned to Jingpu, leaving only some Han troops occupying the territory, giving He and Du some time to breathe, and also changed the historical fact that He Tengjiao died in Xiangtan.

Speaking of Huguang, Li Tingyu smacked his mouth, shook his head and said: "If you want to say it, the loyalty camp recruited by Du Yinxi is all from the old army, all of them are desperadoes, and they are also strong troops when they fight. The ones who went south to Huguang The Qing army counting the Han army only had 6 to [-] people, and the Huguang Ming army had at least [-] people, how could they be defeated like diarrhea? If you lose a large territory, you can lose it, what is this?"

Li Dingguo smiled coldly and shook his head. He was quite familiar with the Chuang Army, which was also a peasant army, and he also knew the generals among them. He said, "What else can happen? It's all due to internal strife."

"Infighting?" Li Tingyu looked at him.

"Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Li You, Wu Ruyi and others were selected, and they are all talented people with both civil and military skills. Which one is not a man who survived in the sea of ​​swords and blood? When it comes to leading troops to fight, these people are not inferior to the Tartar soldiers. Yes. They will be defeated, not by the Tartars, but by their own people."

For Li Zicheng's defeat, Li Dingguo has always been regretful in his heart. Although he is Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son, the two sides are not only not subordinate to each other, but also have a faint competitive relationship. If Li Zicheng wins the world, the two sides will definitely fight to the death.At that time, he and the person whose name was mentioned just now are bound to draw their swords at each other.

However, this will not affect Li Dingguo's appreciation of some of the characters in the camp, the so-called rivalry and sympathy.Du Yinxi recruited them, which means that he has changed from an opponent to a colleague. Naturally, Li Dingguo will pay more attention to the generals of the Zhongzhen Camp.

"Speaking of it, the root is still in the conflict between Du Yinxi and He Tengjiao. The two sides are arguing with each other, wishing to get rid of each other and then hurry up. How to cooperate with this kind of relationship? If you don't use one place, it will naturally give the Tartars a chance to defeat each other. , then He Tengjiao's people are afraid of the captives like tigers, and their faces change when they hear their voices, how can they have the strength to fight?" Li Dingguo became more and more angry, grabbed the tea bowl and drank it, wiped his mouth and sneered: "Ten years ago I rebelled against you. The imperial court has come and gone over the years, and they have seen clearly the many disadvantages of Ming Dynasty. If you want me to say, let alone the Loyalty Camp, even if Lord Hou takes me there, I am afraid that I will be dragged to death by those idiots!"

The words sounded out of the way, full of antipathy, Li Tingyu frowned and looked at Wang Huan.

Wang Huan lowered his head, his expression unchanged, and drank tea calmly, as if he had not heard what Li Dingguo said.

Li Tingyu raised his eyebrows and stroked his beard thoughtfully.

The tent fell silent, Li Dingguo's face turned red, he was still excited like Guan Gong, his chest heaved and fluctuated, Li Tingyu squinted his eyes, thinking about something, while Wang Huan raised his head and patted Li Dingguo's back.

"Calm down." Wang Huan said: "Everything has a cause and an effect, we don't have to force it, just let nature take its course."

His tone was still flat and unwavering: "Flowers bloom and fall with their own rules, and dynasties change, and there are also days. The things you do are like seeds planted. When the time is right, the flowers will ripen and the stems will fall. Only manpower is needed." Let it be, don't worry about it."

These words seemed to have some truth in them, and they seemed reasonable, which made Li Dingguo and Li Tingyu stunned for a moment.

Those two words were just natural, especially abrupt, completely inconsistent with its literal meaning. Regardless of whether the speaker meant it or not, the listener took it seriously.

The two of them thought about it in their minds for a while, and then looked at each other, their eyes twinkling and emitting a strange light.

Just at this time, the tent door was lifted, and a person walked in.

The three looked up, and it was Ma Xintian who was patrolling the camp.

Wang Huan waved to him, asked him to come over and sit down, and made him a cup of tea. Ma Xintian took it with both hands.

"The three of you are all here. Anyway, there is no sleep tonight. Why don't you discuss it together? Then Dorgon is here. How can we take him down?" Wang Huan said with a smile, the smile on his face was like water in a tea bowl, swaying Ripples.
