The next day, the Ming army camp outside Yongnian City.

Zhu Cixuan looked at Li Guozhen in front of him and said with a smile: "How is it, my Xiangcheng Bo, is this time the palace right?"

Li Guozhen nodded in conscientiously: "Your Highness the Crown Prince's plan is amazing, I am absolutely inferior to me."

Zhu Cixuan leaned closer to Li Guozhen and whispered: "Actually, you are very worried, otherwise you wouldn't have followed me quietly with your soldiers."

Li Guozhen was so embarrassed that he stayed in awkwardly. After a while, he smiled reluctantly and said, "How did Your Highness know?"

Zhu Cilang laughed loudly and patted Li Guozhen on the shoulder: "What a joke? The traces of the army's transit are so obvious. If I can't even see this, what battlefield will I be in."

Li Guozhen smiled embarrassedly and said after a while: "Your Highness is wise."

Zhu Cixuan signaled Li Guozhen to follow him to the coach's tent, and said as he walked: "So what is Li Zicheng's reaction now?"

Li Guozhen said: "At present, there seems to be no reaction, and it may be that he has not received any specific battle reports."

After all, this battle happened in the territory controlled by the Ming army. It was "behind enemy" for Li Zicheng, and it seemed normal for the news to be lagging behind.

Zhu Cixuan walked into the coach's tent and sat down, laughing and said, "So, in your opinion, what will Li Zicheng react this time?"

Li Guozhen sat down aside, poured Zhu Cilang a cup of tea, and said, "I think Li Zicheng actually has three reactions."

Zhu Cixuan took the teacup and said, "What three types?"

Li Guozhen said: "Either you will be angry and angry and fight directly, or you will still hesitate to go in a dilemma, or you will be afraid and run away decisively."

Zhu Cixuan took a sip of hot tea, sipped a sip of heat, and said, "Xiangcheng Bo, what you said is equivalent to not saying it."

Li Guozhen: "..."

Zhu Cilang looked at Li Guozhen with an awkward look and said with a smile: "Forget it, no matter what Li Zicheng wants to do, I will continue to do it. Are we still afraid that he will not succeed!"

Li Zicheng was very happy.

The first reason why I am so happy is that the offensive launched by the Ming army in the past two days is obviously not as fierce as before in Gu'an and Baoding.

Li Zicheng made a judgment confidently: "It seems that all the main forces of the Ming army have been taken away by the British Duke. The combat effectiveness of these soldiers and horses led by Zhu Cixuan outside Yongnian City is completely insufficient."

Regarding Li Zicheng's judgment, the other ministers present naturally should have been.

"Your Majesty said very much."

"Speaking of this, it is actually hard to say how many soldiers and horses are in Zhu Cixuan's tens of thousands of troops who are really combat-effective."

"Although our Dashun Army needs training, the recent military strength of the Ming army is also expanding rapidly, and it is obvious that it also needs training, and it cannot be formed in combat power in a short time."

With the approval of this group of ministers, Li Zicheng became more and more determined, feeling that he must have judged the truth.

So Li Zicheng waved his hand and made up his mind very heroically: "If this is the case, then after Guoer and the others win, Guoer and the others will not have to come back. They will directly attack both sides, so that Zhu Cixuan cannot take into account both the beginning and the end!"

As Li Zicheng said, he began to become more and more handsome and smiled, "At that time, Zhu Cilang is defeated by me, and I can go north again, first recover Baoding Prefecture, and then have a good time with that British Duke!"

Facing Li Zicheng who was yelling at the verge of pride, Dashun's many ministers naturally praised him.

"Your Majesty really has the style of Emperor Taizu of Ming!"

"Your Majesty will destroy the Ming Dynasty, expel Jiannu, and revitalize China!"

Amid the sound of flattery, Li Zicheng laughed loudly, and was overwhelmed.

At this moment, a general suddenly rushed in and said unhappily: "Your Majesty, the situation is not good. Your Highness Li Guo and He Jin... are back!"

When listening to the first half of the sentence, Li Zicheng was actually a little worried, but after listening to the second half of the sentence, he felt relieved.

Li Zicheng laughed and scolded, "Isn't it a good thing to come back? Why are you so good at it... Wait, I didn't give them orders, why did they suddenly come back?"

After Li Zicheng finished speaking, the other ministers looked at each other with confusion.

Of course, the answer can only be announced by the parties involved.

A moment later, Li Guo and He Jin staggered into the hall, and knelt in front of Li Zicheng with a thud.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. Zhu Cilang designed an ambush, which damaged His Majesty's many soldiers and generals. I also ask Your Majesty to punish him!"

After hearing Li Guo's words, Li Zicheng's expression changed a little and he couldn't speak for a long time.

The other ministers present also changed their faces and exclaimed.

"How is this possible?"

"Is it actually discovered?"

"The Ming army is ambushing?"

Li Zicheng suddenly became upset. He walked to Li Guo with a slight face and kicked him.

Li Guo did not dare to dodge, so he was kicked out by Li Zicheng, and then he hurriedly got up and kowtowed.

Li Zicheng said coldly: "Come on, you two will tell me what's going on!"

At this moment, Li Zicheng was in a bad mood. He originally thought that the two would bring a victory, but he didn't expect that they would bring news of failure.

Li Guo and He Jin said one thing, and although they were a little messy, they still made the whole thing clear.

Li Zicheng narrowed his eyes and showed a surprised expression: "So according to your words, Zhu Cixuan actually knew in advance that you were going to attack the grain transport team?"

Li Guo hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty, if Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can send someone to ask those who come back with me. The grain transport team's food is forged, and the Ming army all appeared suddenly. These two points are absolutely true. I am willing to use the cap to guarantee it!"

He Jin also said: "I am willing to use the head to guarantee it!"

Li Zicheng's expression completely became cold, and his heart sank to the bottom.

His eyes began to patrol everyone in front of him, and no one dared to face Li Zicheng's gaze and lowered his head.

At this moment, everyone had already come to their senses. Since Li Guo and He Jin were not a normal failure, but were suddenly ambushed by someone, it can only explain one thing--the Dashun Army has informed the Ming Army in advance!

"Who is it?" Li Zicheng said coldly: "Who betrayed the information? Now stand up, I can spare his family's life."

No one spoke.

Li Zicheng smiled and said with a sinister expression: "Very good, then check it. I will check it to see who is so bold that he actually secretly colluded with the enemy and betrayed me and Dashun!"

Li Zicheng's words were filled with murderous intent, which made everyone present shudder.

Everyone knows that once Li Zicheng gets angry, he will die!

Li Zicheng lowered his head again, looked at Li Guo and He Jin. After a while, he snorted, and then another one kicked, shouting: "I can't do anything well, get out of here!"

Although it sounds like a swearing person, Li Guo and He Jin both breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Zicheng did not mention any punishment, which means that the two of them have passed this time.

Li Guo and He Jin repeatedly thanked him, and then retreated.

Li Zicheng looked at the many ministers in front of him, wanted to speak but stopped, and finally waved: "After meeting!"

After this incident, Li Zicheng felt that the traitor was right in front of him, so of course he would not continue to discuss confidential matters.

Later that day, a smaller military conference with only five people attending was held.

Li Zicheng glanced at Li Guo in front of him and said angrily: "How powerful is the Ming army? Please honestly explain to me."

Although Li Guo was defeated, the process of the incident seemed to be a crime of non-war. Moreover, he was Li Zicheng's nephew and was very loyal. This is why Li Guo still appeared in this meeting.

Li Guo hurriedly said: "If you say goodbye to your majesty, the combat effectiveness of the Ming army is actually very average. However, at that time, the officials' troops were burning food and did not form any decent formation at all. This was why the Ming army had the intention to make plans and took advantage of loopholes."

The reason why Li Guo said this was, on the one hand, he wanted to continue to excuse himself and clear the responsibility for defeat. On the other hand, it was a big melee at that time, and it was really impossible to see what the Ming army had unique. It felt like it was because the Dashun army was too chaotic.

Li Zicheng nodded slightly and pondered for a long time without saying a word.

Li Guo asked carefully: "So Your Majesty means..."

Li Zicheng raised his head, and a trace of light flashed in his eyes: "What I mean, of course, is to find an opportunity to fight this Zhu Cilang!"

Li Guo was stunned: "Ah?"

Li Guo thought that the Dashun Army originally had not many elite troops, but now it has lost 10,000 people. The best way is to retreat first and fight another day.

Now Li Zicheng actually said he wanted to fight to the decisive battle? This is really unexpected.

Li Zicheng smiled and said very decisively: "I actually feel that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army on the opposite side is quite weak, and the number is not large, so we may not lose to them. Now that Zhu Cilang has defeated you again, he must be very proud in his heart. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, so I have the opportunity to turn the tables and defeat him!"

Li Guo: "..."

It sounds very reasonable, but I always feel that something is wrong, so what's going on?

The other ministers were obviously also suspicious and spoke out to dissuade them.

Li Zicheng slapped the table and said decisively: "Okay, don't talk nonsense, that's it! If I can't even defeat Zhu Cixuan, a partial army, how can I deal with the main force led by the British Commission in the future? You and others will make good preparations and officially start a war with Zhu Cixuan in a few days!"
