Shortly after Li Dingguo took Hanzhong, the people of Hanzhong built a temple for Li Dingguo under the leadership of local gentry.

Although there are precedents in building a temple for living people, it does not bode well.

For example, Wei Zhongxian, the famous eunuch of the Tianqi Dynasty.

As a result, as soon as Chongzhen ascended the throne, he dealt with Wei Zhongxian.

Perhaps it is because Wei Zhongxian is too popular and does not know how to restrain his edge.

After learning about this, Li Dingguo immediately negotiated with the local gentry and asked them to demolish the temple.

This is not helping him, it is clearly hurting him.

Li Dingguo is not a pretentious person, but for now, showing his edge is not a good thing.

He deliberately kept a low profile, but who would have thought that the people would not allow it, which really made him laugh and cry.

Li Dingguo is also planning to write a memorial to explain this matter to the emperor.

Although there is a possibility that the more you explain, this attitude still needs to be expressed, which proves that Li Dingguo is open-minded and there is no possibility of hiding his own private interests.

Of course, there is another point, that is, the attitude of the censors.

Li Dingguo has always had a good relationship with civil servants.

But that was in Kunming.

Now that the emperor has moved the capital to Nanjing, the civil servants have collectively taken off. It is hard to say whether they look down on Li Dingguo, Qiu Ba, who is born in a mud-legged manner.

Li Dingguo could only try his best to do what he could do. As long as the emperor trusted him, the civil servants would be futile.

At the same time, Li Dingguo is also actively planning to attack matters.

There are actually not many choices to attack Guanzhong from Hanzhong.

Prime Minister Zhuge had already explored all the roads for him, and Li Dingguo just followed Zhuge Liang's road.

What Li Dingguo cares about is the details.

He was originally from Shaanxi, and his understanding of Shaanxi was not inferior to Li Guoying at all.

After the Battle of Hanzhong, Li Guoying suffered a great loss.

He definitely didn't dare to take the initiative anymore, and he was certain to shrink and defend.

But if Li Guoying sent some soldiers to garrison in the important mountain road leading to Guanzhong, he might have encountered considerable trouble for Li Ding's troops.

Because these places are dangerous places, not to mention that one man should be able to pass through ten thousand men, it would at least cause heavy losses to the Ming army.

Li Dingguo hopes to win Guanzhong at the lowest cost, so he naturally wants to minimize the number of casualties.

Therefore, Li Dingguo decided to send scouts to the Qinling Mountains first to establish relationships with local villagers and ask if it is possible to take a small path around the relatively highway.

In fact, these avenues are not easy to walk on.

After all, it is in the deep mountains, and there are not so many things to pay attention to.

Once this problem is solved, other problems will be solved.

Li Dingguo really didn't take the combat effectiveness shown by Li Guoying's troops seriously.

As for Bai Wenxuan, Li Dingguo still generally appreciates it.

Although this person is not his direct line, he worked very hard in the battle to attack Hanzhong and was quite willing to show his gratitude.

In fact, Li Dingguo is not the kind of stingy person. The reason why he suppressed Bai Wenxuan was because he had to worry about the feelings of the direct army.

Now that the Ming army is in full swing, Li Dingguo naturally doesn't want to have problems with his own side.

It is very important to maintain a delicate balance. If Bai Wenxuan performs well, Li Dingguo will also reward him.

The attack on Shaanxi was of great significance to Li Dingguo.

He has been away from Shaanxi for more than ten years.

The young man left home and returned.

Although I had some unpleasant experiences in Shaanxi, it was my hometown after all, where he was the leader.

People often say that wealth and honor are not returned to their hometown like walking in a night clothes with brocade.

Li Dingguo is now the Prince of Ming Dynasty, so he naturally hopes to return to Shaanxi and let his fellow villagers see it. Moreover, he also hopes that through his own efforts, the people in Shaanxi can escape from the sea of ​​suffering and live a good life.

So Li Dingguo once again used his killer move.

Li Dingguo ordered people to take a small path and sneak into Guanzhong in advance, spreading the news of the coming of the Ming army in Guanzhong for a generation, and said that Li Ding's Congress should restrain military discipline and not be violated by the people in the city.

In this way, the people's hearts will definitely be biased towards Li Dingguo.

After all, Li Dingguo's reputation is far from comparable to a jumping clown like Li Guoying.

Putting aside these, just the Qing court’s actions in Shaanxi over the years, there would be no people facing them.

Once Li Guoying spreads the news, it will be not said that there will be people uprising and he will cooperate with him inside and outside, but at least no one will be willing to do things for Li Guoying.

If Li Guoying forcibly arrested the men, the consequence would be to worsen the situation.

Of course, before the war began, all this was just a matter of paper talk.

Just after Li Dingguo arranged all the matters, he received a message that Zheng Chenggong and his son took Yanzhou and Dengzhou!

Li Dingguo, who was not too anxious, became nervous for a moment.

He was the first to launch the Northern Expedition, but now he is chased by Zheng Chenggong and his son.

It seems that the Zheng family and son are not good at savings.

Naturally, Li Dingguo would not think that he was worse than Zheng Chenggong, so he would definitely not be slower than Zheng Chenggong in the advancement of the Northern Expedition.

In a month, Li Dingguo set a small goal for himself. Within a month, he must win Guanzhong.

...

...

However, Li Guoying had never slept for a day after retreating to Xi'an.

He always woke up from his sleep in the middle of the night, and was so scared that he was sweating in a cold sweat.

The content of the dream is roughly the same, that is, Li Dingguo led his troops into Xi'an City, captured him alive and executed Lingchi.

Li Guoying invited the doctor to treat him, and the doctor prescribed some medicines to calm the mind.

Although the situation improved, Li Guoying's heart disease still has not been resolved.

Li Dingguo, this person is simply his lifelong enemy.

When Li Guoying was the governor of Chongqing, he heard about Li Dingguo and knew that this person was the mainstay of the Ming army.

After several fights, Li Guoying became even more convinced, that is, don’t take the initiative to cause trouble for Li Dingguo.

Later, when he fought with the Ming army several times, Li Guoying did not face Li Dingguo head-on. He basically did not suffer any major losses.

But now he didn't want to provoke Li Dingguo, but Li Dingguo took the initiative to come over.

This made Li Guoying complain.

Chongqing was lost, Hanzhong was lost. Is it going to be lost as well now?

If it were in the past, Li Guoying would definitely not have to worry about this problem. Because just because he had lost several places, he would have been captured by the Qing court and sentenced to Caishikou and beheaded.

That is, now the Ming army launched a multi-line northern expedition, and the Qing court was too busy to take care of itself, which gave Li Guoying the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious service.

But if Li Guoying could not even defend Guanzhong, the Qing court would say that he would not save his life.

So no matter what, Li Guoying must defend Guanzhong.

He concluded that there are still 80,000 soldiers in Guanzhong now, and the troops are not sufficient. If you want to defend Guanzhong, you must be careful.
