Li Dingguo did not agree directly, but thought for a while and said, "Leave Fu Yijian and Sun Bao for me. One of them is your accompanying clerk and the other is your personal guard commander. With them here, it will be convenient for me to control the generals under me."

Zhou Xian nodded, "Okay."

Li Dingguodao: "Then I will rush back to Phoenix City tomorrow and dispatch troops here as soon as possible."

Zhou Xian waved his hand, "This is not urgent. It's cold and freezing, so it's not advisable to march for a long distance. A few days will be the New Year. You can go back after the New Year! In the past few days, I will gather the generals together and announce this in public. You can also take the opportunity to contact them. Kai-yuan is on Juehua Island and cannot come here. I will write to him and let him support you with all his strength."

Li Dingguo nodded, "Then let me listen to you."

Zhou Xian said: "There is another thing. Zhao Xusheng conquered all tribes in Xiuyan City and recruited 8,000 soldiers. He left three thousand soldiers in Xiuyan City, and all the remaining ones were sent here. Most of these soldiers were from other tribes, and hundreds of Jurchens. He sent them here with the purpose of breaking them up and splitting them into the army so that they would not get together and cause trouble. Do you want them to stay in southern Liaoning? If you don't want them, I can bring them all back to Shandong."

Li Dingguo did not hesitate at all, "Stay here! I'm afraid that they will make trouble for a group of surrendered fish? But I heard that Zhao Xusheng got a lot of good horses, so I'll give them all! After passing Gaizhou, it's a plain with a flat horse. Without the advantage of cavalry, I can't deal with Manhu."

Zhou Xian waved his hand and said, "I don't care about this matter. You go and discuss it with Zhao Xusheng. Anyway, I will return to Shandong this time and I am not going to take away a horse or a cavalry."

Li Dingguo smiled with satisfaction, "This is almost the same."

Zhou Xian said: "By the way, I have to remind you. Wang Xingyun is your old subordinate who follows you all the way, so I can say nothing. But this person can fight and cause trouble. After seizing Phoenix City, we will not be confused about the matter of robbing more than a dozen women. Just say that some time ago, just because he saw Zhang Feng'er passing by, he still kidnapped her into the camp even though he knew she was Han Yong's man. If you hadn't rushed to stop and stop this, how do you think we should explain to Han Yong?"

Li Dingguo frowned, "Wang Xingyun has followed me for many years, and everything else is good, but he is lustful. But he is brave in fighting and does everything he can, so I can't deal with him too much."

Zhou Xian sighed, "Ning Yu, this shouldn't be the case. You rebelled from Zhang Xianzhong because you couldn't survive. At that time, you were a thief, you could plunder everywhere and act recklessly. But at this moment, you were a general Dingliao who fought against the Manchu captives and commanded thousands of troops. If you were still like before, how to win the hearts of the people and how to govern the world."

Looking at Li Dingguo who was silent, Zhou Xian continued: "Besides, Wang Xingyun is not an ordinary soldier. He is the general of the Liao army and the second general under you. His actions represent the face of the Liao army and all of us. If such actions are not severely punished, the upper and lower levels will be effective. At that time, the soldiers under his command make the same mistake, will we not deal with it? If you really are difficult to deal with it, hand him over to me. I will take him back to Shandong and I will deal with him."

Li Dingguo frowned, "Give him aside this time, I will guarantee him. I lack the generals who are well-versed, especially those who are as obedient as him."

Zhou Xian looked at Li Dingguo and finally sighed helplessly, "Okay! Only this time. The last incident was reduced to a guerrilla general, and the salary was fined for one year. Tell him to let all the women he stolen. Next time, I will drive him out of the army directly. Ning Yu, you don't have to say anything anymore, there is no room for negotiation in this matter."

Zhou Xian said, thinking in his heart that Yu Chenglong should be transferred to Liaodong and asked him to rectify the military discipline of the Liao army.

When Li Dingguo saw Zhou Xian agreeing, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was not a cold person by nature. On the contrary, he was cold inside and hot inside, and was extremely protective of his soldiers.

Wang Xingyun was the general who had been following him for the longest time. When he broke through Teng County, he had already led his troops to break out of the siege. However, for the sake of Li Dingguo, he turned around and killed him, and was eventually captured by Zhou Xianjun due to serious injuries. This injury almost cost Wang Xingyun's life and he was raised for several months before he fully recovered.

But Li Dingguo also knew that this matter might have been Zhou Xian's limit of patience. If Wang Xingyun had followed him all the way, he might have been killed directly by him.

The reason I discuss with myself is because I respect myself. But everything is only repeated and never repeated.

It's time to restrain Wang Xingyun, Li Dingguo thought to himself.

At this time, the curtain of the bath pool was lifted, and Sun Bao took Yu Wen in. "Supervisor, you said you would not disturb me, but Yu Zhenfu said there was something important to report to you."

Zhou Xian inherited the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei's set up a special intelligence collection agency, but the scale is much smaller than that of Jinyiwei.

Among them, there is a commander, Ding Keze is the one who is under his command. He is one of the three, in charge of the collection of information in Liaodong.

Zhou Xian nodded, waved his hand to let Sun Bao go out, and asked, "Yu Wen, what's the matter?"

Yu Wen nodded slightly to Li Dingguo and said, "Just just got the news, Dai Shan is dead."

Zhou Xian was stunned for a moment, "Did the news be confirmed to be true? How did he die?"

Yu Wen nodded, "The news sent back by Nan Chu is said to have passed away from illness, and Luke Dehun has rushed back to Shenyang."

Li Dingguo informed Zhou Xian of the secret surrender of Nan Chu, Zhou Xian told Yu Wen, and asked him to send someone to secretly contact Nan Chu.

Zhou Xian, Li Dingguo, Yu Wen, and the people they contacted were the few people who knew about Nan Chu. Even Zhao Xusheng didn't know about this.

Zhou Xian was silent for a moment and said, "Daishan's status in the Qing Dynasty was highly respected, and he could completely suppress all forces left in Liaodong. The two red flags he ruled were even the main force of the Qing army in Liaodong. Now that he is dead, there is no one among his children who can take the lead, and his grandson Luke Dehun has not yet established enough prestige. It seems that in order to compete for the position of the two red flags, Shenyang will be in chaos."

Li Dingguo nodded and agreed with what Zhou Xian said in his heart. "Or why should I rush back to Phoenix City immediately? Luke Dehun left and must have taken away some of his soldiers, saying that he would have a chance to capture Tongyuan Fort."
