For Li Dingguo, he really didn't expect that things would become what they are now.

Li Dingguo himself was quite aggrieved because in his opinion, he did not do anything that failed Zhang Xianzhong's trust, but ended up being questioned in the end.

What made Li Dingguo even more unhappy was that he had no room for excuse.

It is obvious that no one believed that Zhu Cilang went to Li Dingguo with such a big fanfare just to chat for a few days and persuade him to surrender, but the problem is that the truth of the matter is like this.

Li Dingguo even began to wonder whether this was Zhu Cilang's plan of disagreement.

As a last resort, Li Dingguo found several confidants to discuss the matter.

After some discussion, one of the confidants put forward a more reliable opinion.

"Since the king suspected that His Highness had some contact with the court, then His Highness only needed to send troops and defeat the court's troops? Just one victory should be able to cleanse all the suspicion for His Highness."

After hearing this, Li Dingguo was also a little happy, but more worried.

"Do you think your father would not agree to me doing this?"

"The difference between the king and His Highness should not have reached this point. If it really reaches this point, then His Highness will not be able to sit here and discuss with us now, but has been detained by the king."

Li Dingguo felt that this idea was very reasonable, so he went to see Zhang Xianzhong the next day and made a request, hoping to lead an elite force out of the city to raid the imperial army.

After hearing Li Dingguo's request, Zhang Xianzhong was also a little surprised at first. He quickly smiled and agreed very happily.

"Do it well, I am waiting for the news of your victory return."

Li Dingguo quickly left Jiujiang City with an elite force on a boat.

Sitting on the boat, Li Dingguo's heart was full of ambitions. He thought with great displeasure: "It's so hateful that he dared to use a divisive strategy against me. This time, the prince of the Ming Dynasty must know what the tiger's beard is, and he can't touch it!"

"This is of course a plan of discord, but what I said in it is absolutely true. If Li Dingguo is willing to surrender, I will leave him a way out." This sentence was not what Li Dingguo said, but what Zhu Cilang said to Gao Dejie.

Gao Dejie asked with some confusion: "Aren't your highness worried? Zhang Xianzhong might also see through this matter."

After hearing this, Zhu Cixuan laughed and said, "What can he do if he sees it through?"

After a little upset, I found that what Zhu Cilang said was really reasonable.

Even if Zhang Xianzhong really saw through Zhu Cixuan's plan, he actually had no way to fight back against Zhu Cixuan.

"If Li Dingguo was a truly smart person, then he shouldn't have met this palace from the beginning. From the moment he decided to meet this palace, the whole thing was destined."

Zhu Cixuan did not think that using counter-espionage strategy was an outrageous thing. On the contrary, this was a war, and war would kill people.

As a commander, Zhu Cixuan had to do was to win the victory and make fewer people on his side die.

The soldiers never get tired of deceiving things. As long as thousands of years ago, the ancestors of the Chinese had already said it was a mess.

If Zhang Xianzhong and Li Dingguo can sneak attack Zuo Liangyu's nest, can't Zhu Ciyang use a counter-espionage strategy?

Gao Dejie said, "If Zhang Xianzhong was really fooled, what do Your Highness thinks they would do?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Actually, I don't know very well what they will do, but one thing is certain. As long as they are really fooled, they will definitely react. All we have to do is to keep a close eye on every move inside and outside Jiujiang City, and strive to respond as soon as they react."

At this moment, Fang Gonggan hurriedly walked in and reported a message.

"Your Highness, our sentinel just observed that a fleet came out of Jiujiang City and was going downstream. I don't know where to land."

After hearing this news, Gao Dejie was shocked, and Zhu Cilang's words were calm.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is indeed as expected." Gao Dejie couldn't help but sigh.

Zhu Ciyang laughed and said very seriously: "Can our navy intercept them?"

Gao Dejie shook his head: "Your Highness, our navy is mainly drawn from the Jiangnan region. Since many local people are unwilling to cooperate, our ships have limited power. At present, our navy is indeed not an opponent of Zhang Xianzhong."

Many local people actually refer to the families of wealthy business officials in Jiangnan who were arrested and sentenced by Shi Kefa during the storm of cleaning.

Although Zhu Cixuan used thunderous means to defeat each of them in the shortest winter, clearing most of the families in Jiangnan, this clearing was actually on the surface.

Their main members of these families may have been arrested, but their strength and connections are still mixed within Jiangnan.

They really have no ability to rebel, but they can still do it by secretly pulling the court.

Gao Dejie thought Zhu Cilang would be very angry, but he didn't expect Zhu Cilang to be completely unmoved, but said calmly: "It doesn't matter if the navy can't defeat it. Judging from the current situation, this team is likely to be commanded by Li Dingguo. So this should be what I guessed with General Gao just now, and it comes from Li Dingguo's actions."

Gao Dejie nodded repeatedly, thinking that Zhu Ciyang's guess was very reasonable, so he asked, "Then what should you do now?"

Zhu Cixuan smiled and said, "If I was not mistaken, Li Dingguo should think that as long as he came out to win a battle, he could smash Zhang Xianzhong's suspicion about him before. On the other hand, if Li Dingguo lost this time, Zhang Xianzhong would be even more suspicious of him, right?"

Gao Dejie thought about it and said, "Although that's what he said, Li Dingguo himself is also a very military talent. He will definitely choose a place with a relatively confident victory to land before launching an attack."

Zhu Ciyang nodded and said, "It doesn't matter. Send all our musketeers out. No matter where he lands, I need to have at least 3,000 musketeers appear on his front within an hour. Do you understand?"

The 10,000 muskets and the numerous ammunitions that Zhu Cixuan got from the system were not just for jokes!
