Mao Wenlong smiled gently, calming Chen Qiyu's nervous heart before he said, "Just tell me why you came to join me." There is no other meaning to update the fastest, I just want to find out, after all, this needs a reason that can make me trust you more. ”

Chen Qiyu did not show dissatisfaction after hearing this, but agreed: "What the chief soldier said is extremely true, but the reason is actually very simple. I'm not afraid that the general soldiers will know that I was going to defect to the Tang King. But the saint didn't leave me a way out, and actually wanted a reward to arrest me, so I broke off the idea of going to the king of Tang, and instead found the chief soldier here. ”

Such an explanation is simple and clear, and Mao Wenlong chose to believe what Chen Qiyu said. After that, he directly accepted Chen Qiyu's defection. There is no suspicion in employing people, no suspicion is needed, Mao Wenlong's attitude is also very clear, and he gives Chen Qiyu enough trust.

Subsequently, Mao Wenlong placed Chen Qiyu in Mao's mansion and informed him. After he has served in the army, he will be assigned a place to live according to his position in the army.

Of course, Chen Qiyu is full of promises, just a trivial matter, he naturally understands that in such a matter, Mao Wenlong will definitely not treat himself badly.

Mao Wenlong instructed Hao Xiao to take people down to settle down, while he and Hong Chengchou continued to stay in the study.

After Chen Qiyu and the others left, Mao Wenlong asked Hong Chengchou with a smile: "Do you think Chen Qiyu defected to me, is it out of his sincerity?" ”

Hong Chengchou got up directly, clenched his fists and said to Mao Wenlong: "The old man said before, don't ask you anything in the army. Chen Qiyu came to join you, and you just said that you are willing to take him in, so why do you need to ask me, the answer is not in your heart in the morning. ”

"Farewell!" Hong Chengchou didn't wait for Mao Wenlong to debate, and turned around and left with a greeting.

Mao Wenlong watched his figure disappear outside the door, and a wry smile appeared on his face: "This old guy actually puts up a stinky shelf for himself." ”

looked up at the sky and found that it was already evening before he knew it, and Mao Wenlong didn't have the heart to deal with an old man. Thinking that Chen Lan would have to go to bed later, Mao Wenlong's mind became active.

After dinner, Chen Lan did not break her promise to Mao Wenlong, she washed up early and came to Mao Wenlong's bedroom with great fanfare. There is nothing to say, the dry wood meets the fire, they are all people who have been abstinent for a long time, and this night is of course wind and rain, lightning and thunder.

Early the next morning, Chen Lan got up early and left with a satisfied face, and went to prepare breakfast for Mao Wenlong, who was still getting up. And the latter is still sleeping in the room at the moment.

Haoda's face turned red, and he brought today's Tang Bao early in the morning, and was about to present it to Mao Wenlong to watch. Unexpectedly, when he came to his room, he faintly heard the movement in the room.

Dare to love Mao Wenlong tossed all night, and did not fall asleep until dawn, respectfully sent away the shy Chen Lan, and hesitated to not know whether to wake up Mao Wenlong.

In the Tang newspaper in his hand today, a big thing happened, and he felt that it was necessary for Mao Wenlong to know as soon as possible so that he could react. However, at this time, it was really not suitable to go in to talk about official business, and after some hesitation, Haoda still didn't dare to go in, so he simply stayed at the door, as usual, and became the door god of Mao Wenlong's room.

It wasn't until almost noon, in the vast anxious waiting, that Mao Wenlong woke up from his sleep. When he opened the door, he saw a look of urgency: "Is there anything?" ”

"General soldier, this is today's Tang newspaper, which mentions that the peasant army in Henan suddenly has a big operation." Haoda didn't dare to slack off, and immediately opened his mouth to make it clear.

"Is there such a thing? Show it to me. Mao Wenlong was slightly stunned.

Haoda took out the soup newspaper from his arms and handed it to Mao Wenlong, who took it and turned around and went straight into the house.

Mao Wenlong glanced at it, and it turned out that the peasant army had retreated to the area of Luoyang, Henan. Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Huihui, Luo Rucai, Ge Liyan, Zuo Jin Wang, Reincarnated King, Shooting Collapse Heaven, Hengtian King, Mixed 100,000, Guotianxing, Nine Dragons, Shuntian King and other thirteen 72 battalions of rebel army held a Xingyang conference in Xingyang, Henan, Li Zicheng put forward the strategy of "dividing troops and orienting the troops and attacking on four roads".

Soon after the conference, Li Zicheng, Gao Yingxiang, and Zhang Xianzhong led troops to attack Fengyang, Nanzhili. Due to the suddenness of the incident, the imperial court has not yet selected the next candidate for the governor of the five provinces after Chen Qiyu was dismissed.

At a time when the imperial army was leaderless, it was exploited by the peasant army. When the imperial army was unevenly divided and fought separately, it was raided by the peasant army, and they all stuck to their positions, and they did not dare to send troops to suppress it.

The generals of the imperial army all have the heart of not seeking merit but only no fault, after all, Chen Qiyu's deeds are vivid, and no one wants to take risks easily. As a result, when Nanzhili Fengyang was attacked by the peasant army, he repeatedly called for help, but there was no reinforcement, and finally Li Zicheng and others captured Nanzhili Fengyang.

What kind of place is Fengyang in Nanzhili, Mao Wenlong knows very well, and it has been breached. And this also means that the digging of the emperor's tomb and the killing of officials and guards have happened.

Mao Wenlong had already anticipated how angry Chongzhen would be at this moment, and he could think of it with his toes, and after this incident, how many generals in the imperial army would have to be punished. And this time the matter is not small, and the people who are implicated will definitely die.

Originally, there were not many generals available to the imperial court, and it could withstand such unscrupulous killing by Chongzhen, and it was an indisputable fact that the peasant army would rise next.

Mao Wenlong put down the newspaper and sat alone in the room silent, the trajectory of history seemed to have begun to deviate. Mao Wenlong had to consider whether to send troops to balance the strength between the imperial court and the peasant army.

For Mao Wenlong, whether it is the peasant army or the imperial army, it is not good for him that either of the two parties is dominant. But if Mao Wenlong sent troops to intervene at this time, it would inevitably mean that Ye County would also be involved in this turmoil in the future.

It is completely impossible to be like this again, to be alone and develop quietly. Mao Wenlong was in a dilemma, he didn't send troops, he didn't send troops, he hesitated in the room for a whole afternoon, and it wasn't until the evening that he ordered to convene the generals in the army to discuss.

In fact, it was not discussed, Mao Wenlong already had an idea in his heart, that is, to send troops to intervene. The peasant army should not be allowed to grow prematurely, so that the situation between the two sides in Henan should be in balance.

It's just that since then, Henan is no longer a battle between the two armies, but a three-legged stand, and a melee will start later! And Mao Wenlong was finally willing to do this, his purpose was very simple, that is, he hoped to buy a little time for the imperial court to put the situation in Henan into a state of hanging. So that the imperial court has the energy to fight with Houjin.
