Chapter 454: Shandong is attacked
"Report ......"
A panicked figure rushed directly into Mao's mansion, and in the surprised eyes of the subordinates, he went straight to the council hall in the front yard!
Haoda stopped the panicked guards at the gate of the council hall and asked coldly: "Why are you so flustered, don't you know that Madame is in the hall with the chief soldier?" ”
"Shandong was suddenly attacked by the Houjin army, and Yunzhou Mansion was already in danger." The guards didn't have time to salute Haoda, so they directly delivered the letter to Haoda, and then reported the truth in a panic.
Haoda was slightly stunned for a moment, didn't dare to slack off, grabbed the emergency report, and then rushed into the hall: "Chief soldier, it's not good......"
Mao Wenlong had already heard the conversation between the two outside the door in the lobby just now, and he waved his hand to stop Haoda: "Take it and take a look." ”
Haoda sent the urgent report up according to his words, and Hong Chengchou on the side gave Zi Yan a look.
Hong Ziyan comprehended, and left through the back door of the lobby with the newborn Miss Maofu in her arms.
After Hong Chengchou saw Hong Ziyan's mother and daughter leave, he looked at Mao Wenlong, only to see that Mao Wenlong's face had changed greatly, obviously, the situation was already very bad.
"What's wrong with Shandong?" Hong Chengchou realized that the problem should be very serious, and immediately leaned over and asked.
"A large number of Houjin troops suddenly appeared in Yunzhou Mansion, and everywhere they went, there was no grass, and the people were displaced. In order to transfer the people, more than 2,000 people of the Dongjiang Army have died under the scimitar of Houjin. Now Yunzhou Mansion has been completely surrounded, and there are currently less than 5,000 defenders in the city, and there is a danger that the city will be destroyed at any time. "Mao Wenlong's eyes are red, the lives of two thousand Dongjiang troops are not a small amount.
Hong Chengchou immediately fell into contemplation after hearing this, and after a long time, he heard him say: "Shandong is so likely that the army of Houjin will suddenly appear? Aren't the Houjin soldiers in Jiayuguan fighting with Lu Xiangsheng's imperial army now? ”
Mao Wenlong shook his head and said he didn't know: "I can't care so much, now the rescue of Yunzhou Mansion is the key." We should immediately transfer troops from Xuzhou to rescue us. ”
Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment and said categorically: "No." The general army should not be too anxious, the current situation is not clear, we must not act rashly, otherwise it is very likely that we will fall into the trap of the Houjin army. ”
Mao Wenlong was still anxious, he snorted coldly: "Xuzhou Houjin is about to break the Yunzhou Mansion, what trap is there that is not trapped." ”
Hong Chengchou is still persistent, he said firmly: "This is not necessarily, Xuzhou is our granary, and it is the most important place." In any case, there can be no loss at all, if the general army is anxious about the situation in the capital of Xuzhou, it can transfer troops from other places, and it is absolutely impossible to mobilize a single soldier in Xuzhou. ”
Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses, indeed, according to Hong Chengchou's statement, it is very likely that Houjin will go to grab a surprise when Xuzhou's troops are empty. At that time, Mao Wenlong's loss will be great.
"But if you don't transfer troops from Xuzhou, there are still soldiers and horses that can be mobilized now? Chen Jisheng and the others are still on their way back, and Chen Qiyu's 100,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in Nanjing, and now we have no soldiers and horses in our hands that can be mobilized. Mao Wenlong said distressedly.
Hong Chengchou frowned deeply, and after a while, he said in surprise: "Chief soldier, we can transfer troops from Ye County." In addition, Anton Wei's navy can also be transferred to the emergency first, at least it can buy us the time we need to reinforce the troops. ”
"Okay, that's it."
Mao Wenlong immediately agreed, and then said to Haoda: "Haoda, you will go to Ye County in person immediately, and 20,000 recruits will be led by you to Yunzhou Mansion." ”
Haoda's face was overjoyed, and he immediately clenched his fists and said, "Yes, my subordinates will prepare immediately." ”
After Haoda left, Mao Wenlong shouted outside again: "Haoxiao, come in." ”
It has always been the vast that is doing things, although the vast small is no different from the vast in terms of position. But because he has always done very little work, his influence among the guards is naturally much less than vast.
It was rare for Mao Wenlong to be able to call himself, Haoxiao's face was happy, and he immediately ran in: "Chief soldier, what's the matter?" ”
Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, and then said: "You go to the barracks now to get a flying ball, and immediately rush to inform Chen Jisheng and them." If they want to turn to Yunzhou Mansion in Xuzhou to participate in the war, be quick, remember. ”
Hao Xiao patted his chest and swore an oath: "Chief soldier, please rest assured, I will definitely bring the news in time." ”
Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said, "Okay, then leave immediately." ”
Hao Xiao nodded in agreement, but his legs did not move, he still stood in the lobby, looking at Mao Wenlong with a look of desire to speak.
"Anything else?" Mao Wenlong asked suspiciously.
"That...... Chief soldier, after I bring the news to Chen Jisheng, can you let me go to Yunzhou Mansion with me? Haoxiao looked at him with a pleading look.
A trace of bitterness flashed in Mao Wenlong's eyes, and then he nodded and said, "Go ahead, don't be impulsive on the battlefield, pay attention to your own safety." ”
"Chief Soldier Xie, I'll go to the barracks, hehe!" After Haoxiao got Mao Wenlong's consent, he ran away with cheers.
Mao Wenlong looked at his disappearing figure, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
Hong Chengchou showed a smile on his face, and said coldly: "Look at it, look at it, now you know how much people you have forgotten are actually eager to make contributions in their hearts!" ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Mao Wenlong's face, and he said angrily: "Okay, okay, I don't know everything!" It's not too late to make amends, and there are still battles to be fought in the future, so don't even think about being idle. ”
Hong Chengchou could see that Mao Wenlong had indeed realized his mistake at the moment, so it was not good to continue to be sarcastic. Turning the topic back to business: "Why did you say that Houjin's cavalry suddenly came to Shandong, and suddenly arrived at Yunzhou Mansion, which is completely illogical?" ”
Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "Indeed, it stands to reason that even if the Golden Cavalry sneaks up on Shandong after this, it should be the imperial court that will do it with them first." There is no reason at all for the Houjin army to bypass the territory of the imperial court and directly attack our Yunzhou capital city? ”
Hong Chengchou felt quite reasonable, he nodded and said: "Things are strange here, and the only explanation now should be that the imperial court deliberately lured the cavalry of Houjin, otherwise, the cavalry of Houjin will definitely not be able to bypass the territory of the imperial court quietly." ”
"That's sure to be the case, I'll send someone to find out right now!" Mao Wenlong's heart burned with raging anger.
If this is really Chongzhen's deliberate doing, then it is necessary for him to get back the more than 2,000 precious lives of the Dongjiang Army who died for this. Mao Wenlong will never allow his subordinates to die like this!
