As Mao Wenlong had a hunch, his founding ceremony was not held so smoothly in the end. King Fu recruited vassal kings from all over the south to go to Nanjing to make trouble, and he had to embark on the journey to Nanjing again.

And this time King Fu is menacing, although Mao Wenlong has a strategy in his heart, he doesn't dare to be careless. Therefore, he specially ordered to summon Cheng Zuo, Chen Jisheng, Xu Fuzuo, Liu Guangzuo, and Chen Qiyu and other generals to Nanjing together.

The outbreak of war in Nanjing was not a bad thing in Mao Wenlong's view, on the contrary, if he could win this war, it was very likely that he would unify the entire south in one fell swoop.

Mao Wenlong has always been a contented person, and he has no ambition to compete for the world and control a country. His only thought is that he can work hard to protect himself, so that he and his family can survive comfortably in the troubled times without being bullied by others.

But sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, Mao Wenlong wants to stop, but the general trend of the world is always forcing him to keep moving forward. Mao Wenlong, who has experienced so much, now he also understands that perhaps from the moment he came to Daming, from the time he thought that Daming could live with dignity and gloriousness, he had already embarked on this road of no return.

At this moment, Mao Wenlong deeply understands that war has always been cruel and cruel. Life is like an ant in the face of war, and sometimes even worse than an ant. In the cruel and chaotic times, if you want to live, you can only take up arms to defend yourself, and if you don't kill the enemy, you will be killed by the enemy, which is a dead knot that cannot be untied.

Emperor Qin killed countless people in his life, and was even known as a tyrant, but it is undeniable that his great achievements, he made great contributions to this motherland with a long history. No one is perfect, everything in the world has its two sides, and there will inevitably be a bad side if there is good.

On the way forward in Nanjing, the silent Mao Wenlong has been thinking nonsense, and the trajectory of history is undergoing subtle changes. And Mao Wenlong also feels it from time to time, but he also finds that it seems that history cannot be changed.

For example, Chongzhen's case is a good example, Mao Wenlong rescued him once in the coal mountain, and Chongzhen survived smoothly. But in the end, Da Ming still had to end in his hands, everything seemed to be destined and irreversible!

"Commander, we've arrived." Chen Jisheng's voice sounded outside the carriage.

Mao Wenlong suddenly came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain to glance outside, and sure enough, he saw the towering city wall of Nanjing in front of him. After getting out of the carriage and stretching his waist, he saw Li Dingguo, the defender of Nanjing, striding over.

"Subordinate, Li Dingguo see the general army!" Kneeling on one leg, Li Dingguo made a big salute as soon as he arrived.

Mao Wenlong smiled, stepped forward and helped Li Dingguo up: "Red tape is avoided, go to the city, first tell us what the situation is in Nanjing now?" ”

Li Dingguo didn't dare to slack off, immediately stepped aside, respectfully led the way for Mao Wenlong and them, and walked towards the heavily guarded Nanjing City.

King Fu is menacing, and it is a large army that oppresses the border, so Li Dingguo does not dare to be careless at all. Although King Fu's army is far from reaching Nanjing, he still ordered martial law throughout the city, and the people are not allowed to wander around the streets at will.

There was a tense and serious atmosphere in the city, Mao Wenlong walked on the street and found that the city was in order, which can be seen that Li Dingguo still has some skills in governance. And his reputation as Li Dingguo's both civil and military is by no means exaggerated, he is a person with real skills.

After walking through the outer city, he soon arrived at the inner city, which was the original imperial city, which had been repaired after Chongzhen's arrival. Therefore, the imperial city of this meeting is still quite tidy, at least Mao Wenlong did not see any dilapidated places as far as his eyes could see.

Yangxin Palace, which used to be used by the emperor for leisure and fun, was after Li Dingguo stationed. At first glance, I fell in love with this place, and after some tossing, I directly changed the Heart Cultivation Hall to a place where political affairs are usually discussed.

Shade of trees, flowers and birds, small bridges and flowing water, excellent scenery, spacious Yangxin Palace layout is simple but very simple, in such a beautiful place to discuss political affairs, it is definitely the best choice.

After everyone sat down, Mao Wenlong smiled and said, "Li Dingguo, it's not bad, you actually found such a beautiful place." ”

Li Dingguo smiled implicitly and did not answer, and Mao Wenlong only sighed casually, and then went directly to the topic: "This time, King Fu, together with the vassal kings from all over the south, brought a large army to Nanjing, and the power is not small. Li Dingguo, you can tell us more about the current situation first. ”

"The general soldier, the subordinates have now discovered that the army of the southern forces is divided into two routes, one way stationed in the area of Shaoxing Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion, and it is estimated that there are nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses. The other road is in the area of Raozhou Mansion and Weizhou Mansion, and there are about 100,000 soldiers and horses. Li Dingguo admired and talked, obviously he already had a case in his heart.

"The army is divided into two ways, and it is still an army of 200,000, which is twice as many troops as previously known!" Mao Wenlong was very surprised, and instantly felt that things were not as simple as he thought before.

"The general army didn't know anything, and the southern army didn't have so many soldiers and horses, but recently his subordinates found that their numbers were increasing every day. That Fu King didn't know what kind of means he used, but he was able to make so many vassal kings respond to his call, and the number continued to increase. If nothing else, it will not be long before the entire southern vassal kings join in the call of King Fu. Li Dingguo had a bitter expression on his face.

The other generals in the hall were also surprised when they heard about it. The situation is already obvious, this is the real beginning of the struggle between the north and the south, and a vicious war is already in the middle of it, and it is possible to start at any time.

Mao Wenlong was thinking about how to deal with it, and Chen Jisheng, who has always been more belligerent and impulsive, stood up again: "General soldier, give me 10,000 cavalry battalion brothers, and I will let them have no return." ”

"Chief soldier, I'm willing to go with my eldest brother." As soon as Chen Jisheng finished speaking, Liu Guangzuo and Xu Fuzuo beside him also stood up and spoke in unison.

Mao Wenlong looked up at the three of them, looked down at the three of them, and was worried about whether Mao Wenlong was going to use them again. Mao Wenlong surprised everyone: "Okay, I'll give you 10,000 cavalry, but I don't want you to fight, but to find out to me what means King Fu used to unite many vassal kings who have always been incompatible." ”
