Chapter 842: Guizhou is in an emergency
Ouyang Xiaoling smiled lightly, she looked directly at Mao Wenlong, until she looked away from him, and then said softly: "The general soldier is so anxious, is it because I Ouyang Xiaoling is not waiting to see me?" ”
Mao Wenlong suddenly felt distressed, Ouyang Xiaoling was obviously teasing herself. There has been such a thing at home, he doesn't want to have more trouble, and although Ouyang Xiaoling is good, it is not his cup of tea at all.
With a straight face, Mao Wenlong said seriously: "If you have something, just say it, and if you have nothing to do, you won't send it." ”
Ouyang Xiaoling frowned slightly when she heard this, Mao Wenlong's change was very resolute, she was a smart woman, and she already understood that she couldn't tease Mao Wenlong anymore.
After a pause, Ouyang Xiaoling put away the frivolity on her face, and said with a straight face: "The little girl came this time to ask the chief soldier for advice, what happened in our family just now?" ”
Mao Wenlong seemed to have expected it, and when he heard Ouyang Xiaoling say this, he was not surprised at all: "I will deal with this matter, and there will be no such thing in the future, so you can rest assured." ”
Ouyang Xiaoling didn't seem to compromise, she said softly: "Chief soldier, this matter is related to the life and death of our Ouyang family, if there is no relieved explanation, I can't let go." ”
Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, sighed and said: "This is just a misunderstanding, now that it has been resolved, you don't have to worry too much." ”
Ouyang Xiaoling was silent, she felt sincerity from Mao Wenlong's tone. After pondering for a moment, she nodded and said, "In this way, the little woman will no longer be suspicious." ”
Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Is there anything else going on?" ”
Ouyang Xiaoling hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "No, the little woman said goodbye." ”
Mao Wenlong didn't keep it, he immediately called Haoda, and asked him to still use that little Jiao to quietly send Ouyang Xiaoling out of the imperial city.
Seeing Ouyang Xiaoling away, Mao Wenlong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, when facing Ouyang Xiaoling, he really couldn't control himself. At this moment, he also realized that Ouyang Xiaoling seemed to be deliberately approaching him, and if he wanted to say that there was no purpose in this, Mao Wenlong didn't believe it.
However, considering that the Ouyang family is currently of immeasurable use to the commercial development of the entire north, Mao Wenlong can only stand still for the time being.
Putting aside the affairs of the Ouyang family, Mao Wenlong began to pay attention to the current war in the south again. Hong Chengchou went to discuss the city where the troops were transferred, but there was no response so far, which caused Mao Wenlong to become irritable.
Until Haoda sent people back, Mao Wenlong immediately asked him to inquire. Haoda didn't dare to slack off and hurried forward. Soon after, he turned around and came back and handed Mao Wenlong a piece of paperwork.
After Mao Wenlong read it, he immediately asked Haoda to find Mao Jingwen and asked him to write a holy decree immediately and distribute it to the cities mentioned in Hong Chengchou's paper.
Mao Wenlong was in the midst of an emergency troop transfer, but the accident came too suddenly. He never imagined that before the troops were in place, there was bad news from the Dongjiang Army in Guizhou.
The generals who attacked Guizhou, Xu Fuzuo and Cheng Guangzuo, both of whom were ambushed. Not only did they lose their troops, but they were also injured to varying degrees. As a result, the situation in Guizhou is now more critical, and if you don't send more troops and horses over quickly, it is very likely that you will suffer a frantic counterattack from the army of the vassal king.
The situation was critical, and Mao Wenlong immediately called Hong Chengchou to discuss. The latter said his thoughts to Mao Wenlong after some thought: "General soldiers, the situation is critical now, and it is too late to wait for the troops and horses to be dispatched, so it is better for us to let General Chen Jisheng lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to rush over to help first." ”
Mao Wenlong frowned, although Hong Chengchou's method was feasible, it would be very dangerous. Zhejiang has just calmed down, and if it withdraws its troops at this time, it is entirely possible that the soldiers and horses of those vassal kings who have not yet been fully incorporated will have a chance to counterattack.
Once such a situation occurs, the Dongjiang Army left behind in Zhejiang will be in danger. Thinking about it this way, this method is too risky, and it may end up being more than worth the loss.
"Sir, are the consequences of this too severe?" Mao Wenlong asked the doubts in his heart.
"Adventure is inevitable, but the general should also know that this is the only way we can do it now. Moreover, at present, the power of the vassal kings in Zhejiang has been completely defeated. Although there are remnants of stragglers, as long as the remaining Dongjiang Army can hold out for a while and wait for the reinforcements to arrive, then there is nothing to worry about. ”
Hong Chengchou's explanation is not unreasonable, and after Mao Wenlong thought about it, he immediately agreed. In the final analysis, the current situation in Guizhou is critical, and the only way to rescue it is to save it first. The rest is easy.
Without too much delay, Mao Wenlong wrote a letter by himself and asked Haoda to order someone to deliver the letter to Chen Jisheng in a hot air balloon as quickly as possible.
Mao Wenlong is very busy here, and Xu Fuzuo and Cheng Guangzuo, who were ambushed, are also anxious.
On the outskirts of Anshun Mansion in Forte, Guizhou, in a small village called Shijia Village, Xu Fuzuo and Cheng Guangzuo finally joined forces.
The small village now had enough to accommodate nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and the village could not live at all, so many soldiers had to build temporary camps around the village.
It was late afternoon, and the camp was filled with smoke, apparently cooking. A large cauldron was gurgling hot, and the aroma of rice wafted in the air, attracting countless inhalations.
There is a small courtyard in the center of the village, which is the house of the local patriarch, which has been occupied by Xu Fuju and Chen Guangzuo at the moment.
This Shijia Village was originally a trap used by the feudal king's rebellious army to lure the Dongjiang army. Here, Xu Fuzuo paid many casualties, and finally repelled several waves of attacking vassal army.
It was evening, and the attack of the feudal king's chaotic army was gone, and Xu Fuzuo and the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army finally had a chance to take a breath.
A few torches were lit in the house, and the light of the fire made the house as bright as day. And Xu Fuzuo and Cheng Guangzuo were full of sadness.
Cheng Guangzuo couldn't hold it back at first, and he slapped the table so hard that the wooden table almost fell apart. After that, he said angrily: "Big brother, tomorrow we will rush out and leave this damn village." ”
Xu Fuzuo shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this: "If you can leave here, do you have to wait until now?" There are ambushes everywhere outside, and now we can only wait here for reinforcements, and if we take the initiative to go out, it will only add unnecessary casualties. It's not impossible for an accidental annihilation of the entire army. ”
"But when will these reinforcements arrive? Now that the rebel armies of the vassal kings have gathered more and more, we will only be able to hold out for a few more days at most. If there are no reinforcements in a few days, I guess we won't even be able to escape. Chengguangzuo was indignant.
