Chapter Eighty-Four: The Northern Expedition
It's just that Li Xiangjun couldn't help but think of Zhu Meier and Bian Yujing's proposal in the letter, how could these two girlfriends write such embarrassing words into the letter, and the letter was clearly written to herself, why did she still sign Liu Yongxi's name on the envelope.
Of course, she felt that Zhu Meier and Bian Yujing's proposal seemed to be reasonable, at least without this letter, Liu Yongxi would not have been as active as he is now.
And Liu Yongxi said unusually frankly: "I can't do without Sister Xiangjun, it was my wisest choice not to let Mrs. Xing detain Sister Xiangjun last time!"
Li Xiangjun suddenly became proud: "I have heard this kind of love talk countless times, Xiao Chengyi, you are too insincere to say this!"
She is indeed the more cute the type she looks at, and Liu Yongxi accidentally said something from the bottom of her heart: "The reason why I say this is because that Hou Gongzi is now in Gao Jie's army." ”
This unbearable loneliness Hou Fangyu Hou Gongzi has always been an unavoidable problem between Liu Yongxi and Li Xiangjun, and the reason why Li Xiangjun closed the door was because of this Hou Gongzi, so in the past, whether it was Liu Yongxi or Li Xiangjun, they tried not to mention this matter.
But Li Xiangjun never thought that Liu Yongxi would mention this Hou Gongzi at this juncture, and he was in Gao Jie's army, if he was left by Mrs. Xing at that time, I was afraid that the situation would be that he was not a person inside and outside, after all, this Hou Gongzi was not only a married man, but also had an alliance with Li Xiangjun for three lives.
Therefore, Li Xiangjun suddenly became as cold as an iceberg: "What are you talking about, I don't understand!"
Li Xiangjun also knew that the two sides had mentioned such a sensitive issue, and today's problem could not be solved by refusing people thousands of miles away, and Liu Yongxi also said very bluntly: "I just think that Sister Mei'er and Sister Yujing's proposal is very right, why doesn't Sister Xiangjun think about it?" ”
Li Xiangjun suddenly understood that the reason why Liu Yongxi was so enthusiastic may be because Hou Fangyu was in Gao Jie's camp: "I think about it slowly, after all, in addition to me, Xiao Chengyi Uncle has Jin'er, Hui'er, and even Sister Lizhen, not to mention that Mei'er and Yujing said in the letter that they want to marry you, maybe there are many sisters whose names I don't know!"
It's just that Li Xiangjun suddenly hated Hou Fangyu, after all, this Hou Gongzi was already a married man when he first met her, and he was also a frequent visitor to the Qinglou, but Hou Fangyu hadn't told her the truth until now.
In the face of Li Xiangjun's accusation, Liu Yongxi could only suddenly deal with the big truth: "In the autumn of the country's survival, Sister Xiangjun should not deliberately add to the chaos, even if Sister Xiangjun is not for the country, think about me!"
Seeing Liu Yongxi pretending to be pitiful, Li Xiangjun couldn't help but smile again: "Is there such a hurry?" ”
Liu Yongxi grabbed Li Xiangjun's hand and said, "I can wait, but Sister Xiangjun can't wait!"
Li Xiangjun suddenly had a feeling of gloom and sadness when he heard Liu Yongxi say this, Liu Yongxi seemed to be right!
Liu Yongxi is only sixteen years old now, so naturally he can't wait, but she Li Xiangjun is different!
But although Li Xiangjun did not refuse Liu Yongxi, he made up his mind at this moment: "I want to wait for another spring and autumn, at that time, Xiao Chengyi Bo seems to be only seventeen years old!"
A year, she can afford to wait.
This time she must keep her eyes open.
At this time, Xingping Bo Gaojie was also talking to Mrs. Xing about Liu Yongxi's question: "Madam, do you think this little sincere man under our banner can be trusted?" ”
Although the generals in the army look down on Mrs. Xing, a female generation, Gao Jie feels that his achievements today are all due to the good luck brought by Mrs. Xing.
And today he has 40,000 elite soldiers and 9,000 horsemen, and he is the mainstay of the Hongguang Imperial Court in the true sense.
Without Mrs. Xing, he Gao Yingwu would definitely not have today's achievements, and Mrs. Xing best understood Gao Jie's intentions: "The question that the husband wants to ask is whether it is suitable for the Northern Expedition now?" My opinion is that Liu Yongxi is more credible than Xing Shengping, but now is not the right time for the Northern Expedition!"
Now the court is still in chaos, and among the four towns in Jiangbei, Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing have adopted a hostile attitude towards Gao Jie, and Huang Degong is Gao Jie's sworn enemy.
But Gao Jie's opinion is different from that of Mrs. Xing: "Our Northern Expedition this time is not to take the Central Plains and recover the northern homeland, but to give our Gao family army a piece of territory!"
Speaking of this, Gao Jie regretted that he didn't seize the opportunity to cross the river in time, and now he can only move to Xu Huai, but in the four towns of Jiangbei, he is the strongest and naturally assumes the greatest responsibility: "I have deduced with people several times in the past few days, taking advantage of the fact that Zhongzhou has no owner to send troops to Henan is the best choice, taking advantage of Jianyu's big move south to get more territory, the only problem is the problem of the flanks!"
Originally, the rear was the biggest problem of Gao Jiejun's army, Gao Jiejun's dependents were all placed in Jiangdu, and they could be attacked by Huang Degong at any time, but now with Xing Shengping's 3,000 elite soldiers, the situation is completely different, and now Gao Jie's biggest worry is that there will be problems on the flanks.
The rise of Linhuai Town seems to have solved this problem, although Liu Yongxi has always claimed that he has less than 5,000 actual soldiers, but Gao Jie and his staff think that it is definitely a shrinking and shrinking number.
Liu Yongxi has the confidence to compete with Liu Liangzuo and Liu Zeqing at the same time, although he has the full support of Gao Jie behind him, but he still needs to be hard to strike iron, how can Liu Yongxi have seven or eight thousand people under his command, so Gao Jie only cares about one question, that is, whether Liu Yongxi is reliable.
But Mrs. Xing always felt that Gao Jie was too optimistic: "Although the Shi Pavilion Department has persuaded Huang Degong, the change of Tuqiao is a lesson from the past, and we have to guard against it!"
Gao Jie laughed: "With me, let alone one Huang Degong, even ten Huang Degongs can't set off the wind and waves, not to mention that the Shi Pavilion Department has been fully supporting us!"
Although Gao Jie had a very unpleasant quarrel with the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou, Shi Kefa was benevolent to him, and tried his best to satisfy him whether he could be satisfied or not, and the reason why Gao Jie raised the idea of the Northern Expedition was also because of Shi Kefa's full support.
Since there is Shi Kefa's support, it is more promising to fight a piece of territory in the Central Plains than to trap Xu Huai, and now that the Qing Dynasty and Dashun are almost undefended in Henan, they will definitely take a big advantage if they enter it, but Mrs. Xing always feels a little wrong: "But the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is not so easy, right?" ”
Gao Jie immediately laughed: "Madame, has you forgotten that Hou Gongzi?" ”
