Chapter 64: Chen Yuan
Although Gao Jie felt that he had been covering it up well, Mrs. Xing and Gao Jie's ten-year husband and wife naturally saw through the flaws at a glance, but as soon as she mentioned Liu Yongxi, she couldn't help but start a fire: "Gao Yingwu, how much soup did Huai'an pour you over there?" If you don't make it clear to me, I'll go back to Xuzhou now, and if you want to go to Nanjing, you can go to Huai'an! ”
Gao Jie didn't expect Mrs. Xing to suddenly explode: "Aren't I afraid that you will be angry?" Huai'an suggested that we support Lu, saying that as long as we join forces with Liu Zeqing, the matter of King Lu's ascension to the throne can be a matter of course......"
As soon as it was said that Mrs. Liu Zeqing Xing was really angry, Liu Yongxi's relaying of Ma Huabao's words seemed to ring in his ears again: "I followed you because I admired Gao Yingwu as a strange man in the world, but since you are a strange man in the world, how can you join forces with a scumbag like Liu Zeqing?" ”
Gao Jie could only tell the truth: "The reason why Liu Zeqing supports Lu is because Zhao Zhilong is already determined to support King Lu." ”
Zhao Zhilong? Mrs. Xing couldn't remember what the origin of this person was for the time being, and she felt that if Liu Yongxi was here, she would definitely be able to tell who Zhao Zhilong was for the first time.
Fortunately, in the past few days, Mrs. Xing has deliberately memorized the hero spectrum several times, and finally remembered who Zhao Zhilong is: "Nanjing guards Zhao Zhilong?" ”
The affairs of the southern capital have always been the responsibility of the Nanjing Garrison Department, and the Nanjing Garrison Hall is composed of Shi Kefa, the Shangshu of the Nanjing Military Department, Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, and Zhao Zhilong, the commander of the Nanjing garrison.
As the garrison of Nanjing, Zhao Zhilong not only controlled the Nanjing guards, but also was responsible for Nanjing's stay and protection affairs, and tens of thousands of Beijing camps near the southern capital were in his hands, and Admiral Cao Jiang Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao was also a subordinate of Zhao Zhilong.
Gao Jie persuaded bitterly: "Lady, it is Zhao Zhilong, the garrison of Nanjing, since he has already supported King Lu, it means that the adults in power in Nandu are also more inclined to King Lu, so Liu Zeqing will decide to support Lu, I think it is better for us to follow the main stream!" ”
He added: "Don't say it's the sincere Bo Shizi, this situation is that Liu Kongzhao can't make too much waves!" ”
Mrs. Xing always felt that there was a big flaw in Gao Jie's words, but she didn't know what was wrong, so she could only say: "Yingwu, the net worth and life of 30,000 soldiers are in your hands, this step must not be wrong!" ”
She was eager to hear the little sincerity now.
It's just that it is impossible for her to meet Liu Yongxi in a short period of time, and after leaving Shandong and entering Xuzhou, Liu Yongxi and Xing Shengping deliberately rested for two whole days.
Although it was always a state of combat readiness, with these two precious days, the officers could finally conduct the most basic tactical training and propaganda to the Shandong recruits and Linqing prisoners, so that these recruits and veterans would at least know what they were fighting for, and eliminate the bad influence of Liu Zeqing and Ma Huabao on them as much as possible.
Liu Yongxi even carried out a large-scale reorganization, officially organizing the men and horses of the Chengyi Bofu on land into a battalion and five sentinels, and several sentry officers were Fu Ding, Zhao Zhijie, Li Huaiqing, and Chen Yuan, who was seconded from Xing Shengping.
Tong Yili and Kanghou Zhang Guoji's family soldiers were also combined into one sentry, but there was no suitable candidate for the sentry officer for the time being, and it was temporarily led by Taikanghou himself.
The communication between the two troops has also become more harmonious, and the enthusiasm of the officers on Xing Shengping's side to support Empress Zhang is higher than that of the Sincere Bofu, Chen Yuan asked as soon as he saw Liu Yongxi today: "Little uncle, when will we go south in a big way, the brothers are already eager to try!" ”
Chen Yuan was the thorn who was deliberately kicked out by Xing Shengping and handed over to Liu Yongxi for discipline, but his performance after coming over made everyone impressed.
Under Xing Shengping, he is famous for his disobedience to discipline, relying on his friendship with Li Benshen and Yang Chengzu, the two generals, to make trouble for Xing Shengping every day, and even personally went into battle with Xing Shengping to fight twice, Xing Shengping can be said to be overwhelmed by him, Liu Yongxi said that he could kick out the thorn head, he first thought of Chen Yuan.
But after being seconded to the Sincerity Bofu, Chen Yuan was the first in everything, and he couldn't find fault in any aspect, even the most headache military discipline problem Chen Yuan made great efforts to rectify it, which was completely different from when he was under Xing Shengping.
Some people don't understand what is going on and ask, and Chen Yuan's answer is also impossible to fault: "In the past, it was a personal grudge to make trouble for General Xing, but now it is a state affair to support the queen mother, and I can naturally distinguish the benefits and disadvantages of this." ”
When Chen Yuan said this, everyone understood that in the past, Chen Yuan had trouble with Xing Shengping every day, on the surface, it was a battle of will, but in fact it was due to the instructions of Li Benshen and Yang Chengzu.
And now for Chen Yuan, it is a once-in-a-lifetime heaven-sent opportunity, as long as the bet is right, it will be a lifetime of glory and wealth, how could he delay Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi.
Now he only wanted to kill Huai'an as soon as possible and rush into the southern capital, but Liu Yongxi gave a somewhat unexpected answer: "Let's wait a little, when the tall and handsome are blocked by Lu Zhenfei, we can put down our baggage and dependents and ride straight into Huai'an!" ”
Chen Yuan felt that Liu Yongxi was a little arrogant: "Gao Dashuai, they have 30,000 male soldiers and 9,000 elite cavalry, not to mention that one Huai'an is ten Huai'ans can break through, and now there are several soldiers and horses going south, in addition to Gao Dashuai, Liu Qingze, Liu Liangzuo, ......"
Liu Yongxi laughed: "It is precisely because there are so many passers-by gathered in Jianghuai that the Niangniang Royal Boat can have the greatest value when it comes to Huai'an!" ”
Chen Yuan immediately understood what Liu Yongxi meant: "Little uncle, how about letting me be a pioneer this time?" Since I joined the Sincerity Mansion, I still haven't made an inch, and I want to perform well! ”
Liu Yongxi affectionately called Chen Yuan's expression: "Xianyun, if Niangniang can achieve the cause of Zhongxing this time, you will be the first to work, but I have something more important now I want to ask you for help!" ”
Chen Yuan couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Little uncle, if there is anything, you just have to open your mouth, I, Chen Xianyun, will definitely not disappoint my mother and little uncle!" ”
Liu Yongxi immediately said: "Xianyun, don't you also think that our troops are too thin?" In addition to Zhou Zhisheng's few boats, there is only one battalion of five sentinels in the whole army, even if General Xing Shengping is added, it is only two battalions of soldiers and horses, but Gao Jie has 30,000 soldiers and 9,000 fine cavalry, and the rest Liu Zeqing, Liu Liangzuo, and Huang Degong each have 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses. ”
What Chen Yuan was waiting for was Liu Yongxi's words, the reason why he performed so well in front of Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi was waiting for this opportunity: "Uncle Xiao is so right, our strength is too thin, otherwise we don't have to wait so long at all, just escort Niangniang into the capital and take the place of prison!" What is the little uncle's plan to increase the strength of our Sincere Uncle? ”
