Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 161 Let the bullets fly for a while and capture Li Dingguo
Twilight is all together, and the cold wind brings the sound of raging waves.

Chen Yuanyuan cleared the dining table and saw Li Cunming still standing at the window. She curled her lips and said, "Li Dingguo has gone far away a long time ago. I can't see you. Why did you come here? Be careful to catch a cold!"

Li Cunming recovered from his contemplation, and said with a smile: "I am not looking at Li Dingguo's disappearing figure, but repeatedly deliberating on the next step of surrendering Li Dingguo and perfecting the details."

Xia Wanchun asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, do you have a plan? Today, Your Majesty and Li Dingguo met at Tingchao Pavilion, but they did not mention a word about surrender. I wanted to speak several times but was afraid of being too abrupt. I thought that Your Majesty was too interested and forgot. About this matter."

Li Cunming narrowed his eyes and said: "From the moment Li Dingguo went to the meeting alone and stepped into Tingchao Pavilion, he fell into my trap."

"What kind of trap? I said that your city is too deep and scheming!" Chen Yuanyuan said.

Li Cunming tightened his cloak, turned around and walked downstairs, saying: "Let the bullets fly for a while!"

But he said that it was midnight when Li Dingguo returned to Liangwangshan military camp, but he didn't feel sleepy, sitting under the oil lamp and recalling the scene when he met Chongzhen.

Playing with the jade belt with one hand, tapping the table lightly with the other, all the images flashed through my mind like watching the lights on a horse.

"Chongzhen is calm, unfathomable and elusive!" Li Dingguo finally came to such a conclusion.

In fact, Li Dingguo was well aware of Chongzhen's purpose for this meeting, and it was nothing more than to show his favor and to recruit him.

Li Dingguo knew everything about Chongzhen's intentions.When he was still in Shu, Song Xiance would nag him all day long. Later, when Xia Wanchun came to Kunming, he also tried to persuade him repeatedly.

Not to mention Li Dingguo, all the officers and soldiers of the Daxi Army knew that Emperor Chongzhen favored Li Dingguo!
Li Dingguo took a huge risk to listen to Chaoge's single-handedly attending the meeting. He originally wanted to reject Chongzhen's surrender face to face.

Unexpectedly, he arrived at Tingchao Pavilion, played a game of chess, had a meal, and got a jade belt. Nothing else happened. Li Dingguo had no chance to refuse in person.

The more so, the more uneasy he felt in his heart, and he really couldn't figure out Chongzhen's intentions.

The lanterns suddenly crackled and exploded, startling Li Dingguo.He stood up quickly, frowned and said, "Is it a scam?"

For the next two days, nothing unusual happened.If the Ming army did not come to attack Liangwang Mountain, the two sides lived in peace.

On the third day, news suddenly came that the Ming army had bypassed Yuxi and headed north to attack Jinning.Jinning is only dozens of kilometers away from Kunming. Once it falls, the city of Kunming will be in danger.

Li Dingguo hastily dispatched spies to investigate the news, and received a report that the Ming army had sent [-] new troops to harass the border of Jinning. Although there was a lot of noise, Jinning may not be able to win.

"What on earth is Chongzhen going to do?" Li Dingguo was pacing, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and fell down on his chair, "Oh no, this is a divorce plan! Oops, Chongzhen is so insidious, I hope my sworn brother will not be fooled!"

While keeping his mind steady, he repaired the book and sent it to Kunming City, persuading Sun Kewang not to act rashly, let alone listen to any rumors.

Things turned out just as Li Dingguo had guessed, and Li Cunming actually used a divorce plan.

The Ming army harassed the border of Jinning and never fought a battle, but they spread the word that Li Dingguo had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. They also vividly described the meeting in Tingchao Pavilion, saying that Li Dingguo and Emperor Chongzhen met very late and had a very happy conversation. Li Dingguo also returned Received a great gift.

Not only that, many Jinyiwei spies entered Kunming city in disguise, spreading rumors or distributing leaflets in teahouses and restaurants.Li Dingguo's private meeting with Chongzhen was well known to everyone, and the news spread like wildfire.

When Li Cunming decided to use anti-time timing, Xia Wanchun said worriedly: "Your Majesty, the traces of this plan are too heavy, will it be too obvious? In other words, this plan is too simple, Li Dingguo will definitely be able to see through it, and Sun Kewang may not take it seriously. "

Li Cunming said: "Sometimes, the simpler the strategy, the more useful it is. Perhaps for others, this strategy is like playing house and is not worth mentioning. But don't forget, Sun Kewang is an ambitious person."

"Xia Wanchun, remember what I said. People with great ambitions will inevitably be very suspicious. The reason is very simple. People are selfish. They only allow themselves to be ambitious, but they don't want to see the people around them also have the same ambitions, so they tend to be suspicious. jealous of others."

Li Cunming has seen through Sun Kewang's heart, liver, spleen and lungs. When he heard the rumors, Sun Kewang didn't believe it at first, and smiled and said to his subordinates: "Chongzhen is using a tactic of alienation, spreading rumors to cause trouble, and to alienate the relationship between Gu and General Li. Hehe , it turns out that Chongzhen was nothing more than this!"

But in the dead of night, lying in bed, I can't help but have random thoughts. The seeds of doubt begin to take root and sprout in my heart, and they are out of control.

Just at this time, Li Dingguo's letter arrived, which explained in detail the situation of the Tingchao Pavilion meeting, and vowed to guarantee that he had not surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and asked Sun Kewang not to fall into the trap.

If it were someone else, they would probably feel relieved when they saw this letter.But Sun Kewang was too ambitious and suspicious, so he couldn't help but think about it, suspecting that Li Dingguo and Chongzhen were singing together.

People who are too suspicious often have this problem. Simple things tend to become complicated. In the eyes of such people, everyone in the world is like a layer cake or a Russian matryoshka doll!

Sun Kewang got up quickly, and hurried to find Feng Shuangli, saying: "Whether Li Dingguo betrayed Gu or not, he must show a clear attitude and action, otherwise Gu will be in trouble. Feng Shuangli, take Gu's command arrow and two Thousands of soldiers, go to Yuxi, and urge Li Dingguo to fight!"

A few days later, Feng Shuangli led the troops to Liangwang Mountain. As soon as he saw Li Dingguo, he took out his arrows and urged him to go down the mountain to attack Chengjiang County.

Li Dingguo understood immediately, and Sun Kewang became suspicious, and said patiently: "General Feng, our army is weak and we can only choose to defend. If we take the initiative, we will definitely lose! If the king doubts my loyalty, I can I hand over the military power to General Feng, and I just ask General Feng to think twice and not to violate a military taboo."

Feng Shuangli said: "Rumors are spreading and the morale of the army is unstable. If General Li doesn't take action to prove his innocence, how can he reassure the soldiers?"

After thinking for a while, his attitude eased a little and he said, "It's just for the general to show his attitude, even a little battle is fine. I will be in charge of guarding Liangwang Mountain, and I will never go on business trips. If the general can't take down Chengjiang County, just ask for gold and withdraw the troops. "

Li Dingguo frowned, Feng Shuangli held up the command arrow and said sharply: "General Li, did you really betray Sun Guozhu and the brothers of the Daxi Army?"

Li Dingguo had no choice but to look up to the sky with a long sigh, and led his troops out of the camp, went down Liangwang Mountain, and charged towards Chengjiang County.

As soon as he reached the area of ​​Tingchao Pavilion, there were sudden shouts.The Ming Army Che Battalion arranged iron barrel formations in all directions, and surrounded Li Dingguo's army in groups.

The car battalion is connected like an impenetrable copper wall and iron wall. The general's cannon on the chariot is shining coldly, and the muzzle of the cannon looks like the mouth of a wild beast trying to eat people.

Li Cunming rode the little mare Mubutai, stood on a high slope, and said with a smile: "General Li, I have been waiting for you for a long time, let's meet again!"

"General Li, this is the chariot camp, which can best restrain the cavalry. I advise you not to struggle in vain and let your soldiers lose their lives in vain!"

Many thoughts flashed through Li Dingguo's mind, his expression changed several times, and finally he gave the order: "All officers and men must obey orders, return their swords to their sheaths, and do not act rashly!"

After the soldiers put away their weapons, Li Dingguo got off his horse and walked up to Li Cunming step by step, but he didn't kneel down, and said extremely unwillingly:

"I've long guessed that His Majesty was trying to create a wedge between us, and I wrote a letter to warn Sun Kewang, but unfortunately he was too suspicious and refused to listen to advice. Your Majesty, rather than saying that I was defeated by your own hands, it is better to say that I was defeated by my own people! "

Xia Wanchun on the side said: "General Li, if you are defeated, you are defeated. What's the difference? Let me tell you, in fact, His Majesty has already predicted everything. His Majesty said that the divorce plan cannot be deceived by General Li or Sun Kewang, but His Majesty still insists I am confident that this plan will be successful.”

"And your majesty said that General Li will definitely write a letter to explain to Sun Kewang, but it will only be counterproductive. If your majesty guessed correctly, the day when General Li's letter was sent to Kunming was when Sun Kewang sent someone to Liangwang Mountain to supervise the army. Is it right? in this way?"

Li Dingguo said: "That's true, that's what the messenger told me!"

Li Cunming sighed: "Sad, really sad! Sun Kewang is sad, and General Li is even more sad. My use of divisive tactics is almost equivalent to playing the bright card. You obviously don't need to be fooled, but in the end you still fall into my trap like moths to a flame." Li, is there anything sadder in the world than this kind of thing?"

After a pause, he said, "General Li, I know that you are unwilling, and you must be thinking in your heart that if you didn't have Sun Kewang's suspicion, you might still be able to fight me, right?"

Li Dingguo remained silent, but his expression showed that Li Cunming's words reached his heart.

Li Cunming waved his hands and said boldly: "Let's go!"

"What?" Li Dingguo exclaimed.

"Zhuge Wuhou went to the south in the past, in order to completely surrender Meng Huo, he made seven captures and seven attacks. You, Li Dingguo, are a hundred times better than Meng Huo in strategy. I want to conquer you completely, and I intend to follow Zhuge Liang's example!"

Li Dingguo was stunned, and immediately said: "Your Majesty has a broad mind, which is amazing! Just let me go, if you want to catch me again, I'm afraid it won't be so easy..."

Li Cunming interrupted him and said with a deep look: "The main reason why I went to the west for the expedition was because I came for General Li. It's like pursuing a beauty, but only getting her body but not her heart. What's the point? ?”

Li Dingguo said: "In this case, I, Li Dingguo, am not a ungrateful person, let alone a shameless person. I am willing to make a bet with Your Majesty. If Your Majesty can capture me alive three times, I will have nothing to say and I will be willing to surrender to Your Majesty." !”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"It's a deal!" Li Dingguo walked back to his mount, got on his horse, and shouted, "Your Majesty, this is the first time, and there are two more times. I want to see if your majesty has the ability of Zhuge Wuhou!"
