Li Dingguo was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that Duke Xingguo on the opposite side would comment on him like this. Moreover, the mention of Li Laiheng also made his heart move.
After hearing this, his other guards stared at him to see how he replied.
However, when they saw that Li Dingguo did not answer, they all looked at each other.
Of course, they were selected as personal guards by Li Dingguo because their three views were similar to those of Li Dingguo. During these times, they were actually a little shaken by the influence of the public opinion propaganda of the court.
At this time, I saw that my companions who had been with me day and night had already surrendered to the court, and the general was obviously a little moved, but he didn't make up his mind. After looking at each other, they obviously saw that everyone actually didn't want to be thieves.
Although they were all in charge of Li Dingguo's personal guards, after all, Li Dingguo was one of Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons. If Zhang Xianzhong's troops won consecutive battles and had the hope of creating an empire, they might not be shaken.
However, under the encirclement and suppression of the imperial government's official army, there is no hope at all. What we can see is the elite of the imperial government's official army and the generous treatment of the imperial government's official army. In this way, Zhang Xianzhong's high-ranking officials and generous salaries are the flowers in the moon water in the mirror, which is unrealistic at all.
If he surrendered to the imperial army, it can be seen from what his companions said just now that the Duke Xingguo attached great importance to Li Dingguo, and all hinted with the title of Li Laiheng.
As people around Li Dingguo, of course, they knew that Li Dingguo's ability would never be worse than that Li Laiheng. Therefore, if they could join Li Dingguo to the court, they might be able to make contributions to Li Dingguo in the future, so that they would be able to shine their ancestors and return home in glory.
Thinking of this, another personal guard immediately said tentatively: "The Duke actually values the general so much, why not abandon the darkness and turn to the light?"
Hearing this, the guard who was holding Li Dingguo's horse head was a little surprised. He turned his head to look at him, thinking in his heart that he didn't expect that there was an insider who was the same as himself!
When Li Dingguo heard this, he looked at it and was even more shocked. He couldn't help but ask: "You have been an internal supporter of the court?"
"No!" The guard immediately denied, "I just don't want to be a thief anymore!"
Hearing this, the other guards also started to say it.
"General, we must not be able to defeat the imperial army led by Duke Xingguo, so why should we go to the death?"
"Yes, the court is no longer the original court, and we are not the only way to rebel. It is better to surrender than to pay so much attention to the general!"
"General, do you want the people to continue to suffer from military disasters? You are kind to the people, but what about the others, are they ruthless? How many people have their families destroyed because of us?"
“…”
Seeing this scene, Li Dingguo really knew that his military morale was gone at all. He had just been suppressed before, but now he was attacked by the imperial official army, and he was exposed.
In this case, how could it be possible to defeat the imperial army?
In fact, he was not the same! In fact, he didn't want to hit him after listening to the news coming from the other side. However, he was one of Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons. He was grateful to Zhang Xianzhong, so he suppressed the bad thoughts that arose in his mind.
However, he did not expect that his personal guards were bribed by the court, and Duke Xingguo attached great importance to him, which was why he did not refuse at once.
At this time, he was still a little confused. He was hesitant to surrender to the court and make the world peaceful and serve Zhang Xianzhong as soon as possible.
After a while, a court official army under the banner of "Zhou" quickly rushed to the Central Army tent.
In other words, it cannot be considered as killing. Because there were not many people resisting at all, they all surrendered when they saw the official army coming.
Seeing this scene, the personal guard who was holding Li Dingguo's horse's head suddenly shouted to the other side: "Loyalty, our general is willing to surrender!"
When he heard this, the other guards shouted: "Loyalty, our general is willing to surrender!"
"..." Li Dingguo was stunned when he heard it, thinking to himself, when did I agree?
When he came to his senses, he wanted to regain control of the horse head. The guard not only held it firmly, but also said to him: "The Duke also said that the general's loyalty and righteousness must be clearly distinguished, which is more important, to the loyalty and righteousness of the people of the world or to one person?"
When Li Dingguo heard this, he held back again. This was the first time he had heard this statement.
If Duke Xingguo told him, which is more important than the loyalty and righteousness of Emperor Chongzhen or Zhang Xianzhong, he would definitely choose Zhang Xianzhong. However, what was mentioned at this time was the loyalty and righteousness of the people of the Ming Dynasty in the world, which was a bit shocking to him.
In fact, Li Dingguo was already a little moved. Otherwise, he would really want to leave. In this case, he would definitely get the chop and betray his personal guard for him. But he didn't!
At this time, thinking about the loyalty and righteousness of the people of the world made him hesitate again.
After such a delay, Zhou Yuji led his troops to kill him. Seeing this scene, Zhou Yuji shouted: "Li Dingguo, the Duke of Guo repeatedly praised you for your loyalty and kindness. When I saw you today, it was true. I was unwilling to commit another murder. I will definitely make contributions to the court and benefit the people in the future."
After saying that, he ignored Li Dingguo, and then continued to run to Houying and heading to Wuchang Prefecture.
Li Dingguo was stunned again when he heard this. He was not for anything else, but his current name was actually Zhang Dingguo. As for his original surname, no one else knew it. Because Zhang Xianzhong had chosen him from the army since he was a child and changed his surname very early.
Therefore, he was very shocked. Why did the Duke Xingguo on the opposite side know that his surname was Li? From this we can see how much effort Duke Xingguo put into him to find out that his original surname was Li!
Of course he didn't know, it was actually what he said.
Seeing that the imperial officials ignored him and went back from him, it was obvious that he also trusted him. Looking at this scene, Li Dingguo suddenly sighed.
At this moment, at this moment, he only has one way to go.
So he turned over and got off the horse, took off his helmet and put it in his hand. After thinking for a while, he took off his sword and handed it to the guard who was holding his horse's head and said, "Take me to see the Duke!"
The guard was overjoyed when he heard this. The news from the side said that as long as he could stop Li Dingguo and persuade him to surrender would be a great achievement. Therefore, he stepped forward to stop Li Dingguo, which was at the risk of his life.
But at this time, he was of course overjoyed. He immediately took Li Dingguo's sword, and then smiled excitedly and said, "God of peace, General. The Duke must be very happy to hear that the general abandoned the darkness and turned to the light!"
Li Dingguo is not that naive in this regard. Many of the previous statements should be because he is the head general of the army.
After all, he was a thief, one of the many thieves; and the person opposite was the most powerful Duke Xingguo, who was below one person and above ten thousand people, and the Ming Dynasty. He had so many generals under his command, but he was not missing.
Now that I have surrendered, it is probably almost done.
However, he did not refute this statement, but just smiled a little bitterly and did not speak.
About half an hour later, all the bandits on the other side of the Ba River lost their weapons and sat on the ground and spoke. Then, teams of imperial officials and soldiers were taking away the weapons on the ground and registering the bandits on the ground. The order was not in order, but there was no such panic as other defeats after the other defeat.
Li Dingguo was also taken to the imperial camp on the other side to meet Duke Xingguo.
It can be seen that Li Dingguo was a little dejected.
Thinking about it, it’s true. There was a day he probably had never thought about it before. In this case, it would be strange if he could get better.
However, when he first entered the camp gate, he suddenly saw a lot of movement in front of him, so he looked up.
As a result, he saw that there were a large number of Jinyiwei surrounded by some people.
In this military camp, there was only one person following the Jinyiwei, which was Duke Xingguo.
But how could Duke Xingguo come out? You can't come to welcome him, right?
Li Dingguo was stunned when he saw this. Subconsciously, he turned his head back, wondering if there was a big man behind him, and he needed Duke Xing to come out to greet him in person.
However, when I turned around, I saw no big shot at all. It can even be said that on this road leading to the camp gate, except for the ones who entered the camp gate, there was only one who could go out?
Could it be that the big man has not arrived yet, so Duke Xingguo wants to go to the gate of the camp to greet him?
At this time, Li Dingguo was not arrogant. Even if he was Zhang Xianzhong's adopted son and the commander of the army on Huangzhou Prefecture, he would let Duke Xingguo greet him in person!
You should know that Duke Xingguo is a person below one person and above ten thousand people. It can be said that in today's world, there are many people who come to welcome Duke Xingguo, but the other way around, no one has the qualifications.
After thinking about this for a while, a young man in a python suit surrounded by Jinyiwei was getting closer and closer to Li Dingguo.
Li Dingguo turned around and saw it, and hurriedly went to the side, not daring to block the way.
His personal guards and the Ming army soldiers who were guarding them naturally followed his actions and retreated to the roadside. Because their thoughts were the same as Li Dingguo, they believed that Duke Xingguo was going out of the camp.
When Zhang Mingwei saw this scene, he couldn't help but feel funny and thought: Just because of everything you did in history, it's worth my welcome to you once.
