After seeing off the surviving Yan Lin, Li Dingguo felt a little heavy in his heart. It is said that meeting an old friend in a foreign land is one of the four great joys in life. The conditions are in line with each other, but when they meet in this situation and encounter, they are as heavy as lead, and they can still laugh. ※%

This is the cruelty of war.

Nighthawk whispered: "General Li has worked hard all the way. The villain has asked someone to set up a few tables of thin banquets nearby to welcome the general and his party. Please also ask the general to move."

"No need," Li Dingguo waved his hand and said, "Only after returning from victory, we can drink the banquet with joy. The army is still on the way, and there is not much time. We have to complete the mission before the army arrives."

"General, the Qing army's defense is very strict now. With our current personnel, we may not be able to fight on both sides at the same time. If we want to take action, the villain must mobilize the personnel first." Nighthawk looked at the dozens of people behind Li Dingguo and frowned.

There are too few people, and dozens of people want to make trouble, which is a bit whimsical.

"No need," Li Dingguo shook his head and said, "You all have treasures in your intelligence. You can't send out easily, and you can't take risks even if you are in a critical moment. Otherwise, I will not be able to explain to the Governor that this time it is a sneak attack, not a force attack. We are enough people. You are responsible for providing intelligence, cover and logistics."

Although he wanted to find more staff, but with more people and big goals, it was easy to leak news. After careful consideration, Li Dingguo decided to bring only fifty people to carry out the mission.

The Red Barbarian cannon weighs more than two tons and cannot be taken away. It only takes one person to blow it up. Now it is not fighting with the Qing army, but to approach it secretly. Li Dingguo decided to go to the wrong peak from the beginning.

"Yes, General" Ye Ying didn't force him. In fact, his subordinates didn't have much force to use. Lu Haoshan also said that at any time, the lives of intelligence personnel should be put first, and money is easy to obtain. However, cultivating an excellent meticulous work is not an easy task.

After saying that, Nighthawk continued to ask, "I wonder what the general is going to do?"

Li Dingguo nodded and said, "From now on, the actions are a bit far-fetched. It is better to put the strength together, so as to increase the success rate."

"Which general is going to attack?"

"Dingjun Mountain."

Yeying said unexpectedly: "Dingjun Mountain? This is a hard bone. Hong Chengchou had been operating here early, with strict defenses and many sentries. From the foot of the mountain to the place where the red barbarian cannons were placed, there were more than ten defenses. If there were tens of thousands of people, there would be hope to go up. But the general only had fifty people, no, there would be no chance at all. It was better to have a better chance in Hanzhong City, with a large population inside, which was easy to avoid, and the defense was not so strict."

A very simple truth is that Hanzhong is a big city with a large population. Even dozens of strange faces are mixed into the crowd, no one notices it. However, Dingjun Mountain is different. It is classified as a military zone by Hong Chengchou, and the mountain is full of troops. If a stranger approaches, he immediately realizes that it is too difficult to succeed.

Besides, even if you succeed, can you make such a big noise? Is it difficult for these dozens of people to escape from the crowd?

I can't respond either.

Li Dingguo said firmly: "The more strict the guards are, the more relaxed they will be. This gives us an opportunity to take advantage of it." After saying that, he patted Nighthawk's shoulder and said: "Don't worry, this is not the first time I came from Shaanxi. I have visited this place after following the adults out of Sichuan to suppress bandits. I am not unfamiliar with this place. But in the military headquarters, the topographic maps about it are very complete, and even accurate to the small paths between the mountains. This general said that it is natural to make sense to target Dingjun Mountain."

Dingjun Mountain is a large gate blocking the exit of Sichuan. Lu Haoshan arranged people to secretly draw detailed maps early. When Li Dingguo left Sichuan, he studied the map of Shaanxi whenever he had time on the road, paying special attention to the terrain of Hanzhong Prefecture. He had a contour in his mind. After a little thought, he quickly made a decision.

"Since the general has made a decision, I won't say much. Please wait here. We will rush forward when it gets dark."

Li Dingguo said strangely: "Oh, what's the solution?"

"In order to prevent infiltration from happening in detail, the Qing army restored the road induced connection system, and it was necessary to lead the way ten miles away from home. In addition, neighbors supervised each other and reported it whenever strangers appeared. Although the road induced someone to do it early, for safety reasons, we will rush to the road when it is dark, which is much safer."

For safety and waiting, Li Dingguo did not say anything and ordered his men to find a place to rest.

It was not until nightfall that Nighthawk took Li Dingguo, who had all changed into night clothes, and walked forward by the small road. He familiarly avoided two patrol teams on the way, and even transferred to horses in the middle. He did not reach his destination until dawn. From the vague moonlight, he saw that this was a remote and peaceful small countryside.

"General, we are here." Nighthawk breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at his destination successfully.

It is not easy to distinguish the location in the darkness, Li Dingguo asked in a low voice: "Where is this?"

"Wujiawan, General, look, the highest mountain is Dingjun Mountain, where is Hong Chengchou's nest?" Nighthawk said as he pointed to the side.

Li Dingguo turned around and saw that it was right. It was not dawn at this time. Under the vague moonlight, the towering mountain was like an ancient giant beast squatting in the darkness. The bonfire used for lighting in the dark night was blew in the mountain wind, just like the fierce light that kept revealing, making people feel daunting.

This is Dingjun Mountain. The ancient battlefield of the Three Kingdoms was also a must-fight for military strategists in all dynasties. Hong Chengchou hoarded 30,000 elite soldiers here. In addition, the target of this trip, the Red Barbarian Cannon was also placed in a corner of the mountain.

Although they were so far apart, Li Dingguo still felt a sense of terrifying spirit.

"That's right, this is Dingjun Mountain. Unfortunately, it's still dark now and you can't see the beautiful scenery of the twelve consecutive pearls. What a pity." Li Dingguo suddenly said with a smile.

This is located in the Daba Mountains. The mountain range is composed of Shishanzi, Dashan, Dingjun Mountain, Zhongshanzi, Xiaodu Mountain, Bazhen Mountain, Qianhu Mountain, Yizi Mountain, Woniu Mountain, Jixin Mountain, Huangmao Mountain, and Yuanshanzi horizontally connected meridians. The twelve peaks are spread over twenty miles, which are unique to the mountains, so they are known as the "Twelve Lianzhu Mountains". Dingjun Mountain is the third peak and is also the highest peak.

Everyone was talking while entering the village. Perhaps the sound woke up the farmers. A family suddenly opened the window and suddenly saw so many men in black. They were shocked. With a "bang", they closed the window and door again.

Seeing that the whereabouts were exposed, someone immediately whipped out his sword with a "swish" and was about to go up and clean it up. When Ye Ying saw it, he quickly signaled him to stop, then walked to the window door and knocked a few times, then said a few words, and came back soon.

"Is it okay?" Li Dingguo said with some concern.

Ye Ying said confidently: "Yes, this is Wujiawan Village. After all, everyone here has surnames and is a branch of the Wu family. Not only the village chief here, but everyone is our eyes and ears. There is no problem with safety. General can rest assured."

So that's the case, no wonder this guy speaks so carelessly.

"General, you are tired after walking all night. Let's take a break first. I will accompany you to see the reconnaissance terrain later."

"Okay, I'm here to help you."

At this time, someone dressed as an old farmer pushed the door out. When he saw Nighthawk, he immediately pulled him aside and said, Nighthawk nodded repeatedly. Soon, Nighthawk said to Li Dingguo with a happy expression: "General, there is good news. Just today, today, Hong Chengchou suddenly led the brigade down the mountain and rushed towards the direction of Feixianling. If you guessed correctly, because the Qing army suffered heavy losses when pursuing General Zhang Rui, someone needed support. There was also one of the Qing powers and nobles in the Qing Dynasty. Hong Chengchou personally led about 10,000 people to support."

Is Hong Chengchou not here?

This was good news. Li Dingguo secretly said that Zhang Rui was happy that he could still beat the enemy around in his own army. He did not help him when he came to Sichuan. Unexpectedly, he did not help him invisibly.

It is a talent and shines everywhere.

After a simple conversation, Nighthawk didn't say much, woke up the people from Wujiawan Village, placed Li Dingguo and his subordinates at the villagers' homes, waiting for the opportunity.

There are about 30 households in Wujiawan Village. These days, turmoil has occurred everywhere. Young people either joined the army and joined the bandits or were arrested. Most of the families were old and weak. Fortunately, there were not many people in Li Dingguo, and one or two of them were resettled. For them who live in this remote village, it is a bit unaccustomed to the number of guests who have been living in this remote village. However, no one objected, because Nighthawk had already asked Wujiawan's patriarch and village chief to do their work in advance.

The villagers of Wujiawan Village welcomed a group of guests who were not banned. Not far from Hanzhong City, not far from here, Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, also welcomed a group of guests who were not banned: Prince Li Daishan, Prince Zheng Jiergalang, Prince Su Haoge, Minister of Political Consultative Affairs, Lao Sa, Han Army Gushan Ezhen Shitingzhu, Fushun Ezhen's prince Li Yongfang and others. These people were either princes or Gushan Ezhen. It can be said that most of the powerful figures of the Qing Dynasty came.

What made Dorgon most uneasy was that Dai Shan, the old fox who had been living behind the scenes, also came in person. Although he had received the information early in the morning, he was still surprised to see so many people coming.

I am the Regent. So many people left their posts without authorization and actually ran to Hanzhong without their consent. This is definitely a naked provocation.

If so many people were not just bringing the personal bodyguard and not following the army, Dorgon would have thought that so many people would have united to cause trouble for him.

"Why are you here? Who told you to come? You all left. What should I do in the capital? The emperor, what should I do? What if someone causes trouble?" As soon as we met, Dorgon scolded him mercilessly and maintained the majesty of his regent.

Everyone's expressions were stagnant. Unexpectedly, as soon as they met, they didn't even give him a favor, and they didn't even say hello to him. Everyone looked at each other for a moment. Soon, Dai Shan, who had the highest prestige in this trip, said calmly: "Fourth brother, don't be angry. This action was proposed by me and I also received the approval of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. If you want to blame me, blame me."
