Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen thought of the fighting situation during the day and felt that it was okay.
After all, he only lasted for half a day.
But who would have thought that after Zhang Dingguo was silent for a moment, he spoke again: "My adoptive father said that if it is the White Army, judging from the performance of the Battle of Hunhe River, it can last for not only half a day, but even one day.
Even If reinforcements are likely to arrive, the peasant army may still retreat.
However, the Datong Army is different.
If they were really determined to fight to the death, they might have defeated the peasant army by investing all their remaining troops when the battle was intense yesterday. ” Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but frown and said: "In the opinion of your adoptive father, Wu Xiang has no intention of fighting to the death."
After saying this, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be many generals who escaped in the late Ming Dynasty.
Could it be that Wu Xiang was one of them?
"Yes, my adoptive father and Uncle Liu both believe that the Datong Army is hesitant to fight and has no intention of fighting to the death.
I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long if we fight tomorrow."
Zhang Dingguo's answer silenced everyone.
Because the Datong army was greedy for merit and advanced rashly, it was lured by the bandits and became one of the outstanding troops.
It has already engaged the bandits, but the other two armies may have been defeated before they could reach the battlefield.
This battle is very similar to the Battle of Salhu, which has always been a pain in Ming Dynasty's heart.
That time, several groups of troops also attacked in separate groups, but each group of troops did not encircle them as required and rushed forward to seize the power, and were defeated by the captives one by one.
Emperor Chongzhen understood that it was useless to hate Wu Xiang at this time, so he asked Zhang Dingguo: "Ask your adoptive father if there is a way to reverse the situation of this war."
Zhang Dingguo said "Oh" and then fell silent.
The silence this time was relatively long.
It felt like a long time before he spoke again: "My adoptive father said that my adoptive father and Uncle Liu's troops are in the peasant army."
It's not that much.
If two people suddenly get into trouble, it won't matter.
It can cause chaos to the peasant army, thus giving it a certain chance of victory.
However, if the Datong army is not willing to fight to the death, it may not be effective.
Maybe the Datong army will take advantage of the chaos of the peasant army to escape, and then our two groups will be defeated.
It’s dangerous.”
Perhaps because he was afraid of misunderstanding, Zhang Dingguo immediately added: "Only a few close confidants of our two groups knew about the fact that they had deserted the dark side and turned to the bright side.
The others didn't know about it, and it was hard to tell.
Otherwise, if the news leaked out, then There is a danger of being exposed.
Therefore, my adoptive father feels that the victory of this war cannot be completely dependent on the sudden actions of our two groups. " Emperor Chongzhen nodded, this was not an excuse.
The fact that someone has been recruited by the court must be kept secret as much as possible in the den of thieves.
Otherwise, who can guarantee that the person has hatred for the court and does not want to be recruited and the news is leaked.
If there are thieves around, it must be very dangerous.
However, in this way, the key to the final encirclement and extermination of the thieves is back to the original point, which depends on the determination of the Datong Army to fight to the death.
It's a pity that there are no people in the chat group on the Datong Army side.
Otherwise, he would know the situation of the Datong Army.
Even if he doesn't have the desire to fight to the death, it can make him have the desire to fight to the death.
After being encircled for so long, the final decisive battle turned out to be like this, which made Emperor Chongzhen a little depressed.
If Wu Xiang was just made an earl, would he fight to the death to serve the imperial court?
He thought for a moment, but still wasn't sure.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he immediately chatted privately with Sun Chengzong and asked about Wu Xiang's leadership style.
After all, Sun Chengzong should know the general who was born in Guan Ning very well.
Unexpectedly, after Sun Chengzong understood the importance of the war, he carefully asked about the specific situation of the war.
After a while, he actually gave an inaccurate answer: Wu Xiang might not fight to the death.
Needless to say, Wu Xiang will definitely not fight to the death.
Emperor Chongzhen came to the conclusion in his mind and couldn't help but feel very angry.

After this battle was over, he would settle the score with Wu Xiang.
A general who cannot fight to the death deserves to have a high position in the army Just when he was a little worried about tomorrow's war, he heard Zhang Dingguo speak again after a long silence: "My adoptive father said that if there are officers and soldiers who can cooperate and attack the peasant army suddenly at night, my adoptive father and Uncle Liu will If you can all cooperate immediately and create chaos, you will have a great chance of winning."
After finishing speaking, he immediately added: "If no officers and soldiers show up and they just spread the news falsely, I'm afraid it won't have much effect."
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he thought to himself, aren't you talking nonsense?
If there are officers and soldiers who can attack the bandits at night, what else can be said?
But even if the other two groups traveled all day and night, they would not arrive until tomorrow morning.
Just as he was thinking this, Sun Chuanting, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke: "I'll take care of this."
"You."
Emperor Chongzhen was happy at first, and then shook his head, "Dai County doesn't have any troops.
How can you attack the bandits without the protection of the city wall?
The troops in Dai County will be too dangerous."
"Yes, there are many thieves, and the few people you have in Dai County are not enough to see the thieves."
Zhang Fengyi also expressed her opinion at this time, "If the soldiers are not good, there are not many people, and there is no advantage, maybe Dai will be defeated."
The county is in danger.”
Sun Chuanting saw the opinions expressed by the two of them one after another, but still insisted on his own opinion, but he also put forward conditions: "As long as the court can reward you heavily, I will definitely lead people who dare to die to attack.
Under the cover of night, I will let someone pretend to be Yan Sui Army, the thieves don't know the details, and with Zhang and Liu's guerrilla cooperation, this matter will definitely happen."
"What about the bandits who besieged the city?"
Zhang Fengyi had rich combat experience and immediately raised the question.
Sun Chuanting seemed to have thought about it, so he immediately replied: "The thieves withdrew their main force early this morning to ambush the Datong Army.
They were surrounded by three and one was missing, and the number of people was greatly reduced.
As long as you be cautious, there will be no thieves in the siege."
You must have never thought that I would lead the army out of the city and sneak across."
That being said, this action is obviously very dangerous.
Sun Chuanting actually wanted to lead the army in person in battle.
It can be said that he is the first person among civil servants to have such courage except Lu Xiangsheng.
Emperor Chongzhen thought so and couldn't help but have a strong interest in Sun Chuanting.
At this time, Zhang Dingguo immediately followed and said: "My adoptive father said that as long as the official army suddenly appears, it would be best if they can pretend to be the Yansui Army.
Among the peasant armies, especially those from Qin, what they are most afraid of is Yansui Army.
When the time comes, my adoptive father and Uncle Liu will immediately respond and create chaos.
No one else knows the details in the dark, and this battle will be won."
Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't expect it to be clear.
However, he was still very cautious.
After going over the matter, he asked Sun Chuanting again: "It's okay for the court to reward you heavily, but this matter is very dangerous.
How many people in Dai County are willing to fight?"
