After Galdan was escorted to the capital, Sengge had followed Batumur's advice and immediately dispatched troops to launch an offensive against the Ming army.

This attack is no longer just tentative, but almost all the efforts of the whole country.

Sengge recruited all the males over the age of fourteen in the Junggar, and then took out all the reserved grain.

This time, Sengge's attitude was very obvious, either you die or I die.

He would never make any compromises again. He wanted to take down Li Dingguo's head and wash away the shame and avenge Galdan.

After Galdan was escorted to the capital, he was basically dead for a lifetime, and all of this was caused by Li Dingguo.

Sengge wants to vent all his resentment into the war, so if he wants to decide the outcome of this battle, only one side will fail completely.

Such a large action naturally attracted the attention of the Ming army.

Previously, Li Dingguo sent a large number of scouts to the Junggar area, and they immediately brought the change back to the Ming army camp.

Li Dingguo was also surprised when he learned about it.

He expected that Sengge would do something, but he did not expect Sengge's reaction to be so intense.

Could it be that the relationship between Sengge and Galdan brothers is really so good, and Sengge will take a gamble for Galdan?

Anyway, Sengge did this.

Therefore, Li Dingguo must respond in a timely manner.

This time I was careless.

There are 200,000 people who control strings in the Junggar. Even if there is water, there is no problem with Sengge mobilizing more than 100,000.

In addition, Sengge was attacked by anger at this moment, the morale of the Junggar army must be top-notch.

Li Dingguo immediately convened his confidant discussions, and the generals of Kuidong led by Li Laiheng naturally played a very important role in this process.

"According to the last general's view, the first thing we have to do now is to concentrate our troops north and block several important places. The possibility of the Junggar barbarians being divided is not high. Most of them will still attack from these important places. As long as we defend these few places, the Junggar barbarians will be in a state of scatter."

Li Laiheng said without hesitation.

After coming to the Western Regions, he has been analyzing the terrain of the Western Regions.

He found that except for the Ili region and the Junggar Basin in the northern part of the Western Regions, the areas in the south are basically all large plains.

There is basically no danger to guard under this terrain.

The Junggars pushed over all the way, and there was little possibility of detour. They would definitely take the initiative to attack several big cities.

Under such circumstances, the Ming army must not give in at all, and must strictly guard these important things.

If these places are lost, if they want to retake them, they will have to spend ten or a hundred times more energy.

Li Dingguo nodded and said, "Duke Lin said it well, and I have the intention. Several important cities such as Ur City, Hemi City, and Amy City must be guarded. Although these cities are not large in number, they are stuck on the only way for the Junggar people to go south. I just don't know who is willing to lead troops."

This time, Li Dingguo did not directly assign candidates, just to stimulate the enthusiasm and bloodiness of the generals to the greatest extent.

After all, the Ming army is now in a very delicate stage. Although they still have certain advantages, if they cannot support the war, the soldiers will fall into a state of fatigue.

This is something Li Dingguo doesn't want to see.

So he would do his best to let the Ming army release bleeding in the showdown with Junggar.

As long as the Ming army was bleeding, the so-called fatigue would never appear.

"Please go there at the end!"

This time, Yuan Zongdi volunteered.

This was something Li Dingguo didn't expect.

In his impression, Yuan Zongdi is a typical old-fashioned guy, the type who doesn’t take the lead in everything but never drags his back.

To put it bluntly, such people follow the crowd and basically won’t make mistakes, but they won’t show too much.

A situation like Hao Yaoqi who strives to be a pioneer again and again will never happen to Yuan Zongdi.

But I have to say that this time Yuan Zongdi seemed to have really changed his sex life.

His volunteering without hesitation made Li Dingguo uncomfortable.

Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile: "Why, General Yuan has found a magic weapon to defeat the enemy this time? Which city do you want to garrison?"

These half-joking words made Yuan Zongdi blush and said, "What is your Highness King Jin saying? I am naturally obeying the will. Wherever Your Highness King Jin asks me to go, I will go wherever you want."

In fact, there is another consideration for Yuan Zongdi so proactive, that is, for his nephew Liu Xingming.

Liu Xingming had previously underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly in the Battle of Urcheng, and was ambushed by the Junggar people, and eventually ended up in a crushing defeat, and his army also suffered heavy losses.

Although Liu Xingming finally successfully returned to the area controlled by the Ming army, Li Dingguo had to blame Liu Xingming for this crushing defeat.

Compared with physical pain, Liu Xingming's mental torture may be greater.

After all, Liu Xingming had been smooth sailing before, as if he was helping him.

It only took Liu Xingming a few years to go from a young boy who knew nothing to a general who made great contributions by his emperor and the king of Jin.

He had been so high that he had been praised by everyone, but suddenly fell down without any warning. No one would feel good if he were.

Although Liu Xingming has strong adjustment ability, Yuan Zongdi is still worried that he will leave a shadow.

So this time he took the initiative to ask for troops to go north, hoping to take this opportunity to bring Liu Xingming to his side and let him come again.

After all, it is definitely impossible for Liu Xingming to lead the troops alone in a short period of time. Since he wants to be a deputy, it is definitely the best choice to be a deputy for Yuan Zongdi.

Li Dingguo did not think about this level, but it did not mean that Liu Tichun could not have imagined it.

He has worked with Yuan Zongdi for many years and is a close friend.

He knew very well about Yuan Zongdi's temper and nature, and knew that the reason why Yuan Zongdi did this was for Liu Xingming.

He was very grateful in his heart.

The boy has a strong sense of self-esteem and has been silent after being beaten by Li Dingguo.

Liu Tichun didn’t have much to say, but he felt so uncomfortable.

Now the opportunity is in front of you, whether Liu Xingming can seize it depends on his own.

But it is really not easy for Yuan Zongdi to help him to this point.

"Since that's the case, Duke Yasukuni obeys the order."

Li Dingguo looked solemn and said without hesitation: "You lead 30,000 troops and you can set out to guard Ur City. No matter how many people the Junggar barbarians come, I order you to defend the city and never take a step back. Otherwise, I will punish you with military laws. Do you understand?"

When he heard it was Ur City, Yuan Zongdi's eyes lit up.

Li Dingguo still understands it.

The reason why he was able to arrange Ur City for him was clearly hoped that Liu Xingming could come back and relieve his knot.

You must get up from wherever you fall. This time, Yuan Zong must first help this nephew.
