After being criticized by Jiao Lian, Li Dingguo's face was not very good, and he thought to himself: "What's wrong? I just expressed my concern, but why did it become a question of the emperor? Jiao Lian, what do you mean? Show your loyalty, right?"

After thinking about it, he dared not take the charge of questioning the emperor: "General Jiao, I have no intention of questioning the emperor, please do not misinterpret it."

"Uncle Li, let's talk about winning this battle first. We have been guarding Guilin for half a year and have not found a count. If you have not made any achievements, the emperor will pay so much attention to it. I don't know if it is a hero or a bear." Bai Gui said sarcastically from the side.

When Li Dingguo heard this, before he could speak, Ma Bao next to him was annoyed: "Bai Gui, how dare you humiliate An Xibo? Come on, let's fight and see the truth."

"Master Ma, I dare not attack you. I am afraid..." Bai Gui bowed and said.

"Just be afraid, it's better to be more respectful." Ma Bao heard Bai Gui say he was afraid and proudly taught a lesson.

"...I'm afraid you won't be able to get hit by a punch from the emperor and will break you. The emperor will blame you." Bai Gui said slowly.

"You!" Ma Bao's mouth trembled with anger: "No one dares to look down on Uncle Master yet. Come on, Bai Gui, let's fight one by one..."

As he said that, he had to take action with Bai Gui when he opened up the air.

"Take it slow, take it slow. Uncle Ma, why do you have to be as knowledgeable as a rough man?" Wang Huacheng immediately stood up and broke up the fight when he saw it.

He advised Ma Bao and gave Jiao Lian a blank look. Bai Gui glanced at him and said, "Brother Li, Bo Ye, in the battle in Guangzhou, General Jiao was defeated by General Bai with the emperor and hundreds of soldiers. These two are rude. You two adults have a large number of people, so please don't blame me."

When Li Dingguo heard this, his face turned right and said to himself: "These three are really wearing pairs of pants. They are giving me credit and showing off their relationship. Humph, aren't they bullying me just now? It seems that if you don't fight this battle well, you will really not be able to accept the old generals of the emperor."

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said, "I am saying something about Menglang, how dare I blame Jiao and the two generals Bai? Lord Wang, General Jiao, General Bai, grenades and landmines will be left to the three masters to defend the city. I am not able to use that kind of thing, so I will leave it here. After this battle, I will come to Guilin for advice!"

After saying that, he pulled a handful of horses, bowed his hand, turned around and left with the indignant generals.

"Hey, this man is very proud." Bai Xing looked at Li Dingguo's back as he walked away and sighed.

"Nothing! Since the emperor values ​​him, there must be his reason. Why do you say such ugly words? It seems that we have no ambition and cannot tolerate others. It's fine. Isn't it hurt the emperor's wisdom of knowing others?!" Wang Huacheng was so angry that he scolded Bai Gui for a few words.

"Hehe, Lord Wang, why bother? I just think that he was angry when he was not a good man? Don't worry, didn't you hear him say he would come back to ask us for advice after the war? If he really fights beautifully, then I, Bai Gui, apologize to him." Bai Gui replied with a smile.

Bai Gui didn't dare to slander Wang Huacheng. On the one hand, the three of them cooperated tacitly in Guilin and had a certain relationship. On the other hand, Wang Huacheng had a special status and he was the emperor's brother-in-law - although he was not a relative.

"Ruiting, do you think you have sent troops to support me west of Longpuling? If Kong Youde runs away and misses the emperor's big affairs, then the three of us will not be able to afford it." Wang Huacheng asked Jiao Lian.

"What Mr. Wang said is very true. Li Dingguo's 100,000 troops were more than five times that of Kong Youde, and he also occupied the advantage of the terrain. According to common sense, even without grenades and mines, he could still win. However, Li Dingguo's troops were the foundation of the Daxi Army. If they had not won a battle with the Qing soldiers, they were afraid that they would be afraid before the battle would be timid. In case of precautions, I would take two thousand soldiers to ambush west of Longshuling and lay mines in advance to ensure safety." Jiao Lian nodded in agreement with Wang Huacheng's suggestion.

"If Li Dingguo can't win with 100,000 people, it's too despised. Brother Jiao, I'll go, you defend the city." Bai Gui said.

"If Li Dingguo wins, don't interfere. Just give him this credit and meet him in the future. Ruiting, go, Bai Gui is too impatient, I'm not at ease when he goes." Wang Huacheng said.

"Mr. Wang, what do you mean? Why don't you let us get into a slap? He is a foreign household in Li Dingguo, and can he still let him suppress us?" Bai Gui said dissatisfiedly.

Wang Huacheng and Jiao Lian gave him a blank look and walked away, neither of them ignored him.

"Hey?! Did I say it wrong?" Bai Gui muttered to himself when he saw this.

...

Li Dingguo returned to the army and called Ma Bao, Ma Jinzhong, Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli, and Jinshuai's tent, and said angrily: "Did you see it? Sun Kewang doesn't take the Count of the court seriously, but Jiao Lian and Bai Gui are very envious. In this battle, our troops were five times that of the Qing soldiers, and they also occupied the advantage of the terrain. If Kong Youde ran away, Jiao Lian and Bai Gui would be humiliated by themselves!"

"Master, don't worry, Bai Gui's eyes are low on people. I'll let him see who is a hero and who is a bear!" Ma Bao continued Li Dingguo's words and said.

"I am not worried about other generals, but I am worried that the soldiers will be afraid before fighting. If you pass the order, you will win and not lose in this battle. Who dares to fight timidly? I will kill them with the general and the soldiers!"

"twitter!"

All the generals were agitated by Jiao Lian and Bai Gui, and they were already angry. Naturally, they also knew the significance of this battle to them and others, and no one dared to ignore it. Therefore, when Li Dingguo's strict order was issued, everyone became more willing to fight and received the order with a loud bang.

...

At the 17th day, Li Dingguo led the left army into the vicinity of Longsouling.

Li Dingguo led the generals to see the surrounding terrain. Seeing the steep mountains on both sides and dense jungle, he said, "This place is really an excellent place for ambush. Look, it is difficult to climb from bottom to top, but there is no obstacle to attacking from top to bottom. Ma Bao, you will be ambushed in Beishan, Wenxuan, you will be ambushed in Nanshan, you will be prepared for more wood and stones, I will be the general and the double li, and Jinzhong will be the leader of the road. I still don't believe it. Can Kong Youde escape with such a good terrain?"

"Zhe!" Ma Bao, Ma Jinzhong, Bai Wenxuan, Feng Shuangli agreed in unison, and then went down to prepare separately.

After a day of preparation, the Left Army was basically ready. The mountain was covered with wood and stones, and trenches were dug on the mountain road, waiting for Kong Youde to enter the rush.

"Jinzhong, do you think, can the emperor really defeat Kong Youde? He only has more than 10,000 soldiers, not to mention that there is still monk Geng Zhongming in the east." In the central army tent, Li Dingguo still didn't believe that Zhu Youlang could drive Kong Youde to his pocket formation.

"Master, you should be able to do it according to the posture. If you are not sure, can the emperor walk on the dangerous ground easily? However, I am afraid that the winner will never be defeated for a while. We will have to wait a few more days." Ma Jinzhong analyzed.
