Mao Wenlong was in a hurry, and after some good persuasion, he fooled Princess Changping, an active volcano that could erupt at any time.

The days returned to tranquility, and Mao Wenlong continued to live his comfortable life. However, God did not let Mao Wenlong go on so comfortably, Cheng Zuo and others moved very quickly, recruiting troops everywhere, and then using a small number of veterans to take these new recruits to replace the Dongjiang Army that originally defended the city while training.

In this way, the troops that should have been very tense were quickly resolved, and in less than a month, Chengzuo and they were ready to change their defenses. The Dongjiang Army fully drew out 100,000 troops, of which 30,000 cavalry led by Chen Jisheng was the main force.

Chengzuo lived up to the trust and finally took care of all the trivial matters within a month. knew that Mao Wenlong was in a hurry to send troops to conquer Liaodong, so he did not dare to slack off, and after the matter was done, he came to report to Mao Wenlong as soon as possible.

"General soldier, now that we have gathered 100,000 main troops, we can set off for Liaodong at any time." Cheng Zuo said clearly to Mao Wenlong.

"Well, it's finally time for this day. Everything is ready and only the east wind is owed, now we only need to wait for one more person to come back, and then we can send our troops straight to Liaodong. Mao Wenlong was immediately overjoyed.

"Who else does the general soldier have to wait for?" Cheng Zuo's face was full of doubts, all the people in the army were in place, and there was no shortage of people?

"It's coming, just in two or three days. You are now optimistic about the army, and be ready to go at any time, waiting for my orders. Mao Wenlong obviously didn't want to tell Cheng Zuo about Lu Xiangsheng.

Although Cheng Zuo wanted to ask further, Mao Wenlong didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to say more, so he had to retreat on his own after receiving the order.

At this time, Hong Chengchou came leisurely, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "I heard that the general army encountered a dangerous situation last night? ”

Mao Wenlong rolled his eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Hong Chengchou's Bagui, but he hadn't explained this matter clearly to the two ladies. In order to avoid them from misunderstanding themselves, Mao Wenlong still said frankly to Hong Chengchou: "Yes, Princess Taiping went to find me last night, and something happened in the middle. ”

Hong Chengchou sat beside Mao Wenlong with a smile, and then didn't say anything, looking like he was waiting for Mao Wenlong to continue to explain.

In this regard, Mao Wenlong was very helpless, and he suddenly found that Hong Chengchou was more and more fond of controlling himself. used to worry about his style in political affairs, but since he understood that Mao Wenlong was really not interested in political affairs.

Hong Chengchou did rein in, but he began to pay attention to Mao Wenlong's life style. I don't know if Hong Chengchou is getting older and older, becoming more and more fond of broken thoughts, or for other purposes, Mao Wenlong doesn't think much about it.

In this world, he has no elder who can treat him like Hong Chengchou. Mao Wenlong did not feel impatient, but was attached to this different kind of warmth. Today's Hong Chengchou is not so much his military advisor, in fact, it is more appropriate to say that he is an elder.

"The princess came to me at the surprise of last night, and was shut out of my door, and after that she became angry, and forced me to marry her with her sword. So, I, who would rather die than give in, naturally refused strongly. Finally, with my painstaking persuasion, the princess finally reversed her obsession and began to realize that it was wrong for her to force others in this way. Mao Wenlong began to blow himself into a great hero as soon as he opened his mouth.

Hong Chengchou listened attentively, and did not expose Mao Wenlong's shortcomings, he pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "The speech of the general soldier is indeed wonderful, although it is exaggerated in some places, but it is still reasonable. As for the princess's affairs, I hope that the general soldier can stick to his original intention as always and not be confused by the princess. ”

Hong Chengchou is warning Mao Wenlong not to have any friction with the princess, and at the same time, he must not have any illusions about her. Now that Chen Lan has given birth to a boy, Mao Wenlongnuo's family business can finally be inherited.

This also means that when Mao Wenlong conquers the country in the future, he will also be old, and it doesn't matter whether he is the emperor or not. Naturally, there are heirs of the Mao family who can stand up and speak, therefore, in Hong Chengchou's view, the future Jiangshan must be surnamed Mao, not Zhu.

For this reason, Hong Chengchou has been paying attention to the princess's every move, and he became cautious when there was a slight disturbance. No, after he learned about what just happened last night, he came over early in the morning, and in addition to asking clearly, he didn't forget to ask Mao Wenlong again.

Hong Chengchou's fuss was completely unnecessary in Mao Wenlong's opinion. The entanglement between the princess and him, Mao Wenlong has always regarded it as a private matter in life. It didn't rise to the top of politics.

"Strategist, please rest assured, if there is no accident in the princess's affairs, it can be resolved once and for all in a few days." Mao Wenlong said indifferently.

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and asked curiously: "Chief soldier, why are you so sure?" ”

Mao Wenlong sold a little bit and said with a smile: "The military advisor will naturally know in the future, and there is no final result in the matter yet, so I won't say much." ”

Hong Chengchou looked at Mao Wenlong seriously for a long time, nodded and said, "Okay, you can handle it yourself, I won't ask if you have more, wait for your good news." ”

Mao Wenlong laughed dryly twice and changed the topic: "Just now Chengzuo came to report that he had completed the task given to him before, and now he is ready to go to Liaodong at any time." ”

At the mention of this, Hong Chengchou's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with appreciation: "General Chengzuo did a good job this time, using the newly recruited soldiers and horses to defend the city. Only a few veterans were used, and this method directly solved many difficulties. ”

Mao Wenlong also smiled: "Although this method is good, it is not without loopholes, after all, they are all recruits, and once they encounter a sudden war, it is very likely that something big will happen." ”

Hong Chengchou said lightly: "There is no need for the general army to be so pessimistic, now except for Jiayuguan, there is almost no possibility of war in other places." Therefore, only a small number of new recruits need to be replaced at Jiayuguan to ensure worry-free. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded: "Then the matter of the conquest of Liaodong, the military division has nothing else to say, right?" ”

Hong Chengchou shook his head and said, "No, all the general soldiers can take ideas." ”

The north is now under the control of Mao Wenlong, and it is recovering in an orderly manner everywhere. Half of the Ming Dynasty was in peace, and Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou also had a rare moment of peace.

It happened to be lunchtime, and Mao Wenlong invited Hong Chengchou to have a few drinks with great interest.

Hong Chengchou readily agreed, and the two walked to the backyard together!

At this time, in the Liangshan area of Datong Prefecture, someone was plotting how to escape back to Sichuan. This person is Li Zicheng, who was defeated by Jingshi and fled to Huang Taiji.
