For Hong Chengchou, Shang Kexi's recent sluggish attitude has caused him a lot of headaches.

Of course, from Shang Kexi's point of view, he can also understand, after all, it is difficult for Shang Kexi's eldest son to survive in the hands of the Ming army, and it is unrealistic to make Shang Kexi's fighting spirit high in this situation.

But Shang Kexi has always had this attitude, which is very good at shaking the military spirit of the Qing army.

After all, emotions are contagious.

Shang Kexi is in this mood, in case Geng Jimao is also in this mood, then how can this battle be fought?

Moreover, Hong Chengchou could faintly feel that Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao were very incompatible, and the rift between the two further expanded after Shang Zhixin fell into the hands of the Ming army.

It was because he decided to persuade Shang Kexi in person.

Shang Kexi's residence in Nanchang City is a three-entry house with a separate courtyard, which is guarded by the Shang family's own soldiers inside and out, and even a fly can't fly in.

Hong Chengchou only brought a few personal soldiers, but when he came to the house, he was stopped by the Shang family's own soldiers.

"There is a slight need to visit King Pingnan in this scripture."

Hong Chengchou said angrily.

"My prince is in a sad mood and sees no one. Hong Jingluo, please go back. ”

Hong Chengchou didn't expect that the attitude of a pro-soldier would be so tough, and he was stunned for a while.

"Ahem, I know that King Pingnan has just lost his son, but the current military situation is urgent, if King Pingnan can't adjust in time, the entire Jiangxi war situation may be affected."

Originally, Hong Chengchou didn't want to say this to these soldiers of the Shang family, but he was stopped by Shengsheng at the door, and he could only persuade these soldiers to open the door with his tongue.

Unexpectedly, the other party sarcastically said: "Hong Jingluo still knows why my prince is so sad?" I don't know who gave the order, and ordered His Royal Highness the Prince to go to Yichun. I'm afraid that Hong Jingluo already knew that the Ming thief was strong and invincible, so he asked my family to send him to death, right? Now you don't have to cry here, rats, fake mercy. ”

This irony angered Hong Chengchou.

No matter how he said it, he was also a veteran of the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong was very respectful to him.

What are these Shang family children, they dare to be so sarcastic and sarcastic about him.

"Presumptuous! There is no place for you to speak. Move! ”

Hong Chengchou stepped forward, but those Shang family soldiers drew their knives and said sharply: "Who dares!" ”

Hong Chengchou was shocked and angry, and sneered: "Are you going to rebel? ”

"Hong Jing is a little less here to give us a hat, and my prince is not a soft persimmon for people to take at will. Now that it's like this, we don't plan to be good! ”

"You! It's the other way around, it's really the other way around! ”

At this moment, the door was pushed open with a creak, and Shang Kexi walked out from behind the door.

A few henchmen followed him.

It can be seen that Shang Kexi has obviously aged a lot in the past few days, and he arched his hand towards Hong Chengchou and said, "Hong Jingluo, let you see the joke." This king has been unwell recently, so he did not go to the governor's yamen. ”

Hong Chengchou was still angry, and said coldly: "It doesn't matter if King Pingnan doesn't take the old man in his eyes, but he can't help but put the court in his eyes." It was the emperor who ordered King Pingnan to lead troops to Jiangxi, and King Pingnan was dissatisfied with the emperor? ”

Shang Kexi sighed: "Why should Hong Jingluo be like this? This king sends a white-haired person to a black-haired person, can't he even think about it for a few days? ”

"If it's normal times, it's naturally okay, but now that the enemy is current, King Pingnan doesn't care about it like this, what do other people think?"

"Hong Jingluo is talking about King Jingnan, right?"

Shang Kexi also seems to have lost his temper.

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this king and the king of Jingnan are not in harmony. How could Hong Jingluo not see it? ”

Shang Kexi paused and said: "Then the king of Jingnan first instigated the dog to lead troops to reinforce, and then he was sarcastic behind his back, obviously coveting the king's fief and wanting to annex it. But this king will not grant his wish. Although this king is not talented, he still has many sons. Even if it is passed on to a fool, it will not be called a wild dog to take its food. ”

Hong Chengchou saw that Shang Kexi said so ugly, and he couldn't hold it on his face.

"Ahem, why should the king of the south of the same dynasty be so mean? After all, everyone is the emperor's servants, so why bother? ”

Shang Kexi laughed and said: "This king thought that Hong Jingluo was reasonable, but he never thought that he would only be with the mud. Even so, the king has put his words here. It's okay to ask this king to send troops, but this king won't fight with King Jingnan! ”

Shang Kexi's words can be regarded as a clear attitude, and he doesn't want him to cooperate with Geng Zhongming.

If the two of them fight separately, it will be extremely unfavorable to Hong Chengchou's overall arrangement.

The only people he could mobilize were the Green Battalion and the 10,000 Eight Banners Army.

A good game of chess is played like this, and it is infuriating.

But he didn't have much else to do. At least for now, Shang Kexi still promised to stay in Jiangxi. If he continues to provoke, it is difficult to guarantee that Shang Kexi will not lead his troops away in anger.

If Shang Kexi became the second Wu Sangui, that would be what Hong Chengchou never wanted to see.

It is because he can only follow Shang Kexi first and stabilize this important help.

"Okay, this book promises you that I won't let King Pingnan and King Jingnan fight together."

Hong Chengchou made a concession and hoped that Shang Kexi would take a step back.

"In this case, the king will listen to Hong Jing's arrangement. However, I also ask Hong Jingluo to explain the specific matters to my generals, and this king will think about it carefully. ”

Shang Kexi turned around and left.

A subordinate general beside him stepped forward and said, "Hong Jing will talk about it a little." ”

Hong Chengchou was so angry that he jumped to his feet, what might he do?

If he can't suppress his anger, the chessboard will be completely smashed.

After thinking about it again and again, he could only swallow his anger and explain to this face.

...

...

After returning to the mansion, Hong Chengchou was so angry that he dropped a lot of porcelain.

The people were frightened one by one.

It was rare for them to see Hong Chengchou so angry, they didn't know what happened today, and they were able to make such an elegant old man angry like this.

No one dared to enter the house at this time to touch Hong Chengchou's brows.

Hong Chengchou was tired and happy, so he lay down on the bed panting.

Cocooning and self-restraint, this is really cocooning and self-restraint.

There is a way that it is easy to please God and difficult to send God. He provoked Shang Kexi to Jiangxi, and it was not so easy to let Shang Kexi go.

He can see clearly, Shang Kexi will not leave so simply, and even if he leaves, he will let the Qing court give him enough rewards as compensation.

As for Geng Jimao, this person is more like a cunning fox hiding in the shadows, waiting to pounce and grab meat at any time.

These two vassal kings are both human spirits among human spirits, and they are not easy to calculate.

Even the governor of Jiangxi, Zhang Chaoxuan, is not a simple character.

He looked obedient to Hong Chengchou on the surface, but in fact, he also had his own little Jiujiu.

At this moment, Hong Chengchou misses his beloved apprentice Zhao Liangdong very much.

If only he had taken Zhao Liangdong with him when he left Guizhou, it would not have been that there was no one to discuss now, and he had to rely on his own planning.
