Chapter 730

As Zhang Xianzhong's former headquarters, Li Dingguo joined the Chinese army after Zhang Xianzhong died.

There was a time when I studied with Liu bu.

Liu Bu has an attendant office, which is specially responsible for defending him. His attendant office is composed of a large number of young people who are both literate and martial.

Those who can join the waiter's office are either outstanding in talent or excellent in martial arts. Li Dingguo is a person who knows a little about both.

Among the soldiers of the Chinese army, most of them don't know words. Even if they do, they barely know words. If they are formed together, they don't know what it means. Li Dingguo is very few people with outstanding talent. His martial arts and equestrian skills are also very powerful. After mixing in the waiter for a period of time, he was sent out to practice outside.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Wenruo, sun Wang and others have all stayed at the attendants, known Liu Bu, talked to him and received his instruction.

They want to learn from the popular custom of the Ming Dynasty, that is, worship Liu Bu as their adoptive father, and the alliance between the two sides will be unbreakable.

Among many border generals, it is a very popular style. They select a group of young and promising generals and take them close to them for training and use. If they find that they can make talents, they will take them as adoptive sons and help themselves. After taking them as adoptive sons, it is impossible to be won over by the imperial court and hostile forces. The interests of both sides are the same. If the master has an accident, the adoptive sons will have to follow suit.

Don't think it's a shame to be an adopted son. All officers are scrambling to be an adopted son, because it's the atmosphere at this time.

Liu Bu is not good at this. My son hasn't yet. What's more, his son is older than him?

These officers in the waiting room did not give up. They were unwilling to accept adoptive sons and grandchildren. When Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch, gained power and power, countless people scrambled to be his grandchildren.

Only those who have status and status are qualified to be his adoptive son. Those who are a little worse can only strive to be his grandson, known as the forty grandson.

For example, even the three miners in Shandong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, who were famous in Shandong and created the Wuqiao mutiny, are actually the grandsons of Mao Wenlong, the general soldier of Dongjiang. They also deliberately changed their surname to Mao and ranked among the grandsons of Mao Wenlong.

It was only after Mao Wenlong's backstage fell that they were embarrassed to continue hanging the sign, and then changed it back to its original name.

Liu Bu doesn't like this. He is a seven foot man, with blue sky on his head, down-to-earth feet, gold under his knees, respect for heaven and the earth, inherit his ancestors and pass them on to his children and grandchildren. He changed his surname to waiter, which is really humiliating.

But these people couldn't understand his meaning or care. Liu Bu made a compromise. He knew that at this time, these people liked to maintain all this with clan or family relations.

Liu Bu reluctantly allowed these officers to call him a teacher.

The two sides are barely a teacher-student relationship.

This is to emulate President Jiang.

This made the officers and soldiers of the waiter feel refreshed. Although they were only students, they could be called students of the son of heaven. They were superior everywhere.

Although the emperor's students are superior to others everywhere, Liu Bu did not deliberately promote them when they were released. He believes that this is to encourage them from the lowest team.

As Liu Bu's bodyguard, it's more than enough to be a small team leader. If you want to be another senior official, you have to test it first.

Chen Wenruo, sun Wang and Li Dingguo have passed the most difficult test and come to the fore. Therefore, Liu Bu has also fulfilled his commitments to them and reused them. If they can lay down this big city and let them hold it, there is no problem.

Because of the examples of Chen Wenruo and sun hope, Li Dingguo dared to temporarily seal himself as the defensive envoy of Xiangyang and take over all power temporarily.

He gave this right by himself, which is also unstable. If Liu Bu said that he was deprived or not given, he would have nothing, but he soon received an order from the military headquarters.

He was officially authorized by the military headquarters to establish the Xiangyang division. He was the division commander of the Xiangyang division.

Li Dingguo jumped from the cavalry to the division of Xiangyang division, which can be called a step to the sky.

However, he was not proud and inflated. It was not that he had no personal joys and sorrows. He also had some. His front foot received the military order to promote him to Xiangyang Shizheng, and the news of the great defeat of Yiling came from his back foot.

With the great defeat of Yiling, there came the purple green fleet retreating from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Looking at these embarrassed and earthy looking soldiers coming down from the ship, Li Dingguo couldn't believe that they were the elite soldiers of the world-famous Qingzhou division. They were beaten to death.

There is no more heroic and arrogant at the beginning, but like a group of anxious and homeless dogs.

Li Dingguo ordered all these people to be detained. He was worried that these people would spread ideas of failure and some unnecessary rumors in the army.

The soldiers of Qingzhou division finally escaped from Shengtian and fled to Xiangyang. They were relieved that they were detained by their own people. These people suddenly became angry. They shouted one after another and wanted to make trouble.

Li Dingguo said coldly, "if you dare to do it, I will dare to use the knife. The losers on the battlefield and the poor fleeing bastards are qualified to bargain with the general. You can do whatever you are told to do. If you don't want to listen, get out of the general's territory."

It was only after Li Dingguo said these words with a loud voice that the momentum of these people's clamor was suppressed.

In fact, Li Dingguo was right in doing so. He was afraid that these people would spread rumors and upset the hearts of the people in the city.

At least he controlled the news around the wharf and didn't spread it to the city. The opposition forces in the city didn't hear about the defeat of Yiling and the arrival of the imperial army.

Li Dingguo met with Commander Ziqing to discuss major plans.

In fact, the army and navy are independent of each other. Even if the status of the two sides is very different, Li Dingguo doesn't need to visit each other, mainly because Ziqing is Liu Bu's third wife. Even if he is the master, he has to go to see him.

Ziqing is a female officer with a tough and cold style. She introduced this information to Li Dingguo and pointed out that their plan to advance to the West has been frustrated, and the navy has no choice but to return to Wuchang or Nanjing for the time being.

Li Dingguo said: "the Yiling defeat has dealt a great blow to the morale and morale of our army, but as a man of Liu Shuai, he will never give up. He will immediately send troops to counter attack. The best way for the navy is to continue to control the reach of the Han River of the Yangtze River to prevent the enemy from moving eastward. At the same time, he can also be a pioneer for the commander."

Since the commander-in-chief was proposed, Ziqing didn't dare to retreat easily.

He retreated mainly because he saw that the other side's forces were huge and the navy was busy with the car. He didn't receive Liu Bu's order. If Liu Bu didn't allow him to say yes, it would be troublesome

Since Li Dingguo suggested that she use Xiangyang as a base to continue to control this section of the river, on the one hand, she can be the vanguard of the army's counterattack, on the other hand, she can help prevent Xiangyang and kill two birds with one stone, so Ziqing decided to stay in this area. They control the hero water and the Yangtze River.

Before they reached an agreement on their plan, a large number of corpses floated over the Yangtze River. These corpses had no head and were all killed by Zhu Xieyuan's army. They were so despised by the enemy.

This aroused the greatest anger of Ziqing and Li Dingguo. They didn't kill too much. After killing people, they still made such a base on each other's bodies, which is not what ordinary people can do.

Ziqing snapped, "Zhu Xieyuan, if I don't kill you, I swear I won't be a man."

Li Dingguo was quite calm. He said, "Zhu Xieyuan's doing this naturally is to create panic. They would have guessed correctly. They will attack Xiangyang as soon as possible. Only when they win Xiangyang can they win a foothold in Northern Hubei. Whether they attack Wuchang or echo the south of the river, they can advance and retreat. Xiangyang City is a must for Zhu Xieyuan's army."

When Ziqing looked at the map, he also found this. After the failure of Yiling, Xiangyang became their stronghold in the forefront of the West. Zhu Xieyuan had to show that he had to take Xiangyang first, no matter north or south, otherwise it would be difficult to start the army.

Ziqing immediately said that her fleet helped defend Xiangyang City, controlled the nearby river section, and immediately sent people to salvage the bodies in the river. Both are paoze. They can't let the dead soldiers' bodies be so humiliated.

Xiangyang City depends on the Han River, surrounded by mountains on both sides, a plain on one side and the Han River on the other. If you want to surround him, you have to go both land and water, otherwise you can't win it.

Now Liu Jiajun's navy is powerful, and Ziqing's fleet still controls the control of the river. It's not easy for them to encircle Xiangyang in an all-round way.

This is also one reason why Li Dingguo dares to defend Xiangyang. Xiangyang City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is not easy for the other party to surround here. They have the support of the Navy, which is equivalent to having hundreds of cannons. With hundreds of cannons in hand, he needs to be afraid of the other party.

Moreover, Li Dingguo also understands that from the perspective of the people of the Ministry of national defense, it is impossible not to see the importance of Xiangyang City. He will go all out to send troops to help. As long as he stays for ten days and a half months, the day when the army arrives will be the time to cooperate inside and outside and wipe out Zhu Xieyuan's army.

Therefore, Li Dingguo did not dare to waste time. He immediately mobilized the whole city and mobilized all soldiers who could be mobilized to go up to the wall for defense. He knew that the enemy's army would arrive soon, and the enemy also knew that it was a time of great speed. Whoever could seize Xiangyang first could seize the strategic priority.

Li Dingguo mobilized the soldiers of the whole city, armed them, prepared them to go to the city, defend and prepare for the coming Zhu Xieyuan army.

A fierce offensive and defensive war is about to begin.
