Pan Duao secretly glanced at Xu Yixian, and there was no change in his old face. He was secretly happy, knowing that this old guy didn't plan to care about this matter anymore.

He turned to Li Dingguo and said, "Major General Li, I'm not saying you don't understand these at all. But you also know that you are only in your early twenties, and you are a little lacking in experience or anything else. Major General Sun may do better in this regard. You also know that our army must not be divided at this moment. Otherwise, it will be eaten by the government army one by one. I hope you can consider the overall situation and think carefully."

Ainengqi was about to get up to argue, but there was no reason to judge talent based on age. But before he could speak, he was pressed by Li Dingguo. He stood up slowly, looked at the generals on both sides, and finally bowed to Sun Kewang and said, "Brother, Li Dingguo has never been married since he was a child. Only after he was adopted by his adoptive father can he survive until now. I have long regarded him as my biological father, and I also regard you as my elder brother. After all, I am just a reckless man in command, and I am not good at other things and don't care much about other things. Therefore, this great commander must be the eldest brother."

"Second brother, you..."

When Xu Yixian saw Li Dingguo's statement, he nodded secretly in his heart, but there was still no change in his face.

Seeing that he was so tactful, Pan Duao smiled faintly, "Major General Li is modest. If you are a reckless man in command, then aren't we fools and fools in command?" As he said that, he turned to Sun Kewang and said, "Major General Sun, I propose to establish a general's mansion after you succeed to the General. Major General Li will be the general and be responsible for all military affairs."

Sun Kewang was stunned, but seeing Pan Duao was quietly winking at him. He coughed and hurriedly said, "This... This is naturally the second brother will be the general."

Li Dingguo was not humble either and bowed, "Thank you, Marshal."

Pan Duao and Xu Yixian walked towards the residence together. Pan Duao looked at Xu Yixian with a playful smile and said, "Old Xu, what's wrong with you this time? Why didn't you say a word from the beginning to the end!"

Xu Yixian replied: "Since you have fully supported Major General Sun, how can I speak? If I support Major General Li with all my strength, our army will definitely be divided next. At this time, the most unavoidable thing is division. Instead of doing so, it is better to let Major General Li suffer some grievances and maintain the unity of our army."

Pan Duao smiled and said, "After all, do you still support Li Dingguo? You just have to endure it for the time being."

Xu Yixian smiled bitterly, but finally nodded and said, "No, because I always feel that Major General Sun's personality is not suitable for being a general. Although Major General Li is young, he has a unique qualification. I believe that he will definitely do better than Major General Sun in the future."

"Old Xu, now that this is the case now. You hope you can let go of your prejudice and support Major General Sun with me. After all, you also know that after Lao Shuai's death, the most important thing our army cannot want is division."

Xu Yixian smiled slightly and said, "The moment I chose not to speak, I had already made a choice."

Sun Kewang walked over quickly behind him and bowed to the two of them. Xu Yixian bowed and returned the greeting, and said with a smile: "Master, I have something to deal with. You can talk to Lao Pan first."

Sun Kewang opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Pan Duao smiled and said, "Master, since Lao Xu calls you the Master, it means he already recognizes you as the main person. You don't have to think so much, just give him a while. By the way, Master, is there anything you are going to ask me for now?"

Sun Kewang nodded and said, "The second brother told me two things just now. First, he proposed to send the two guards whom the most trusted in their lives to send the young master and his wife back to Shaanxi, so that they can live a normal life from then on. Second, he said that around Xiangyang, although our army can attract hundreds of thousands of new soldiers, only the first 30,000 people can fight. Once Yang Sichang leads the army, there is only one dead end to the south. He asked me to write a letter to Li Zicheng and temporarily express his intention to surrender to him in exchange for him to send troops to march into Nanyang together. He said that as long as we capture Nanyang Prefecture, the mountains there will be our natural defense. As long as we are given a period of time and train the new soldiers into veterans, we can survive completely."

Pan Duao nodded and thought for a moment and smiled: "Master, the Master will succeed the Master, and the young master can no longer threaten you. Major General Li proposed this just to let you spare the young master's life. I think you will just follow him! There will be more time for you to use him in the future! There is no need to have conflicts with him for this little thing."

"Okay, just listen to Mr. I will give them more gold and silver so that they can have no worries about food and clothing in the future. But the second thing he said, does Mr. think it is feasible?"

Pan Duao frowned and thought for a while, saying, "Master General, we don't have many choices now. But what Major General Li said was surrender is inappropriate. It should be cooperation, and our two armies attack Nanyang together."

"Will Li Zicheng agree? You have to know that he has just captured Luoyang and is rampant in northern Henan!"

Pan Duao smiled and said, "If the old general did not die, maybe he would not agree. But now, I conclude that he would agree. Because he knew that once the old general died, our army would be separated. Once our army was destroyed, all the official troops would go north. In northern Henan, he had no more room for revolving. In western Henan, it was very different. And..."

He looked at Sun Kewang and continued, "Li Zicheng is very scheming. Now there are so many soldiers in our army, he must have the intention to annex. If I don't believe this temptation, he will not be moved at all."

"Sir, this is not good, right?"

Pan Duao smiled faintly and said, "Is the general who is worried that all his generals will be pulled over by Li Zicheng?"

Sun Kewang was silent for a while and nodded, "Sir, I do have this concern. You should know that I am the first to succeed to the position of coach. Whether it is reputation or ability, it is much different from Li Zicheng. It is inevitable that some people will become obsessed with it and take the opportunity to join Li Zicheng. Besides, we cannot stop him from winning over."

"The general has this self-knowledge, which means that you are far beyond ordinary people. Although there is such a risk, at present, we can only seek further development by establishing a foothold first. After recruiting new recruits, we will have hundreds of thousands of people, so it is okay to let Li Zicheng win over some. But with Lao Xu and I, I, will do my best to help you, and you will explain the means and let Major General Li support you with all your strength. As long as we keep our old camp troops from being pulled away by Li Zicheng, we will have enough capital to discuss cooperation with him."

Sun Kewang pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, everything will follow what Mr. said."
