Chapter 601: Awakening
Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou met with King Fu who came in embarrassment, and after fleeing for more than half a month, King Fu has completely lost his former brilliance. Dressed in ordinary clothes, as well as the messy long hair, all show the fall of King Fu at this moment.
"Brother Mao, you have to help me get out of this bad breath!" The dry howl of King Fu came from the study.
Mao Wenlong almost failed to recognize the Fu King in front of him, this image was too different from usual. Lift King Fu up from the ground, let him sit down, and order someone to bring some delicate snacks to fill his stomach first.
When everything was busy, Mao Wenlong asked: "Why did Brother Zhu end up like this, could it be that your Huguang was attacked?" ”
Mao Wenlong asked knowingly as soon as he opened his mouth, making King Fu more and more nervous. According to what he thought, Mao Wenlong must have known what happened in Huguang for a long time, after all, more than half a month has passed, Mao Wenlong has no reason not to know now?
With a puzzled face, King Fu asked, "Brother Mao, you really don't know what happened to Huguang?" ”
Mao Wenlong shook his head seriously: "Recently, Mao has been busy with things in Henan, and there have been some accidents in Liaodong recently. You see, I'm too busy to be distracted from what's going on in the south. ”
Although King Fu still didn't believe what Mao Wenlong said, these were not important, he hesitated for a moment and then told his experience in detail.
Chongzhen's 20,000 soldiers and horses were just to stabilize Huguang in the past, and the real reason why King Fu had to flee was that his old troops were rebelling. And it was with these helpers that Chongzhen dared to suddenly attack King Fu.
After listening to King Fu's explanation, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou suddenly came over. Mao Wenlong touched his chin and muttered, "No wonder...... That's what happened. ”
Originally, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou were puzzled that Chongzhen was so reckless in attacking King Fu without any help. This is obviously an unreasonable move, which makes both of them very confused.
Now, after listening to King Fu's story, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou immediately woke up. At the same time, the two of them still admired Chongzhen, and they were silent, and they actually disintegrated King Fu's old department.
In view of this matter, Mao Wenlong suddenly raised his scruples about Chongzhen a lot, and also had more precautions against Chongzhen, the Ming Emperor. The emperor is always the emperor, and the person who can guide the country on the throne is not an ordinary mortal.
After some feelings, Mao Wenlong put away the chaotic thoughts in his heart and said to King Fu: "Then Brother Zhu came this time to borrow troops to fight back, right?" ”
King Fu nodded like pounding garlic, and hurriedly admitted: "Exactly, I hope Brother Mao can pull King Ben." Of course, this king will never let Brother Mao help in vain, if there are any conditions, Brother Mao does not have to be polite, just mention it. ”
Looking at King Fu with an expectant face, Mao Wenlong fell into deep thought, and after a while, he chuckled and said, "Brother Zhu, Mao feels that this move is inappropriate. ”
King Fu's face was full of disappointment, and he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Brother Mao refuses to help?" ”
Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhu, don't be nervous, with the friendship between us, we can't watch you die like this no matter what." One more friend is one more road, please don't worry about it. ”
King Fu said suspiciously: "What does Brother Mao mean?" ”
Mao Wenlong paused for a moment and said lightly: "Actually, Brother Zhu wants to borrow troops to fight back, and there is no problem at all." The problem is that if you do this, it will be bad for you and me, and at the same time, such a crude method of revenge is really inappropriate. Think about it, if Brother Zhu fights back, and in the end it will be his own people who will be injured, even if Brother Zhu really regains control of Huguang in the end, do you think there is still a need to take Huguang back after the war? ”
King Fu was silent, what Mao Wenlong said just now, he had to seriously consider it. As far as he knew, Chongzhen only sent 20,000 newly recruited troops to Huguang this time, that is to say, if he really fought back, he was actually fighting with his old subordinates.
Even if Chongzhen lost all the 20,000 new troops he had just raised in Huguang, he still had nothing to lose in the end. According to this logic to calculate the gains and losses, it is obvious that no matter whether King Fu wins or loses in the end, he will be the one who suffers a big loss.
King Fu frowned, bowed to Mao Wenlong sincerely, and then asked: "Brother Mao thought thoughtfully, but this king was impulsive." But if you don't take Huguang back now, this king can't turn his heart around. If this evil breath is not vented, this king will probably not be able to sleep at night. If Brother Mao has any good way, I hope to tell one or two, this king is grateful! ”
Mao Wenlong smiled suddenly: "Brother Zhu doesn't have to be so polite, your business is the business of the younger brother, and we don't need to share anything with each other." ”
King Fu will obviously have calmed down, and seeing Mao Wenlong speaking heroically, his cold heart will start to become hot again.
Mao Wenlong quietly glanced at Hong Chengchou, and then said bluntly: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and now that Brother Zhu has been defeated for a while, he should calm down and reflect." In this way, Brother Zhu will meditate in the house for two days, and then think of a way, and after two days, we will discuss Brother Zhu's affairs together, so what do you think? ”
King Fu hesitated for a moment, then nodded directly and agreed: "So I will disturb Brother Mao." ”
Mao Wenlong returned the salute and smiled: "You're polite." ”
Afterwards, Mao Wenlong asked Haoda to take King Fu and his three personal guards to arrange a quieter courtyard in the mansion to live. After King Fu left, Mao Wenlong looked at Hong Chengchou, who was silent: "How do you think we should use King Fu as a chess piece to contain Chongzhen?" ”
From Mao Wenlong's tone, Hong Chengchou clearly felt a trace of coldness, and it was obvious that Mao Wenlong had begun to be more wary of Chongzhen at this moment. This is something Hong Chengchou is happy to see, he laughed and said: "King Fu is indeed a good chess piece, if he can be placed in the south, the emperor will definitely be very scruples in the future." ”
After a pause, Hong Chengchou continued: "As for how to arrange it, we still need to think about this matter seriously, and I am afraid that we will not be able to perfect a perfect plan for a while." ”
Mao Wenlong agreed: "Yes, Chongzhen was able to wipe out almost all of King Fu's old subordinates without making a sound. To be honest, it surprised me. ”
Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "Is it not too late for the general soldiers to wake up." It's just that the lower officials hope that the general army will stop despising the existence of the emperor in the future, otherwise, I am afraid that the general army will continue to have trouble in the future. ”
