Chapter 739: Coming to Nanjing in person
Chengzuo was defeated again, and the news was sent to Xi'an, which surprised Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou, and the two immediately realized that this Li Dingguo was indeed not an ordinary person.
Mao Wenlong sat in the center of the hall, the dragon chair had just been built and given to Mao Wenlong for identification, which would make him have no mind to take care of the dragon chair at all. The news of Cheng Zuo's defeat was very unsettling to him, and it can be said that since the hot air balloons and sharp artillery of the Dongjiang Army appeared, he had almost never encountered a decent opponent.
Even the headache-inducing Huang Taiji was not directly defeated by the Dongjiang Army in the end, and now he doesn't know where to hide, and he doesn't dare to take his head at all.
"Strategist, why do you think this Li Dingguo knows so much about our Dongjiang Army?" Mao Wenlong raised his cheeks and looked at Hong Chengchou.
"Obviously, this Li Dingguo must have done enough to understand our Dongjiang Army in advance, otherwise he would not have caught the hot air balloon and artillery, and made sufficient preparations for the target." Hong Chengchou almost didn't hesitate, and even made up his mind.
Mao Wenlong also felt that what Hong Chengchou said was reasonable, he nodded and asked, "Then what do you think we should do next to deal with him?" ”
can think of a way without having to bother himself, Mao Wenlong will definitely not embarrass himself, so he directly asked Hong Chengchou what to do?
Hong Chengchou had obviously seen through Mao Wenlong's thoughts, he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Why don't the chief soldiers think about it first, after all, the lower officials' decisions in war have never been as good as you." ”
Hong Chengchou was humble at this time, obviously seeing through his careful thoughts, and Mao Wenlong did not show any shame. Instead, he said with a big grin: "You can do it for you, why should I bother with this brain." ”
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou rolled his eyes directly, and was very dissatisfied with Mao Wenlong's performance. Helplessly, he is the decision-maker, and Hong Chengchou himself is just a subordinate in the final analysis, and he does not dare to disobey the monarch's order.
After some deep thought, Hong Chengchou expressed his opinion: "Li Dingguo is obviously coming for us, and he has already made all preparations, so the subordinate begs the general soldier not to be careless." ”
Mao Wenlong didn't refute Hong Chengchou, he nodded and said: "I have already been defeated under his hands twice, if I continue to be careless, wouldn't I become a fool." Okay, don't say much else, the military advisor will first talk about what you can do to deal with this difficult Li Dingguo, right? ”
Hot air balloons and sharp artillery have no effect on Li Dingguo, and Mao Wenlong is now facing another moment to find another way to control the enemy. Otherwise, the only way to do this is to launch an all-out attack on Li Dingguo with absolute force according to the traditional way of fighting, but in this way, it will inevitably cause a large number of casualties in the Dongjiang Army, which is something that Mao Wenlong does not want to see, and he will definitely not allow it to happen.
After thinking deeply, Hong Chengchou shook his head at Mao Wenlong and said: "The lower officials can't think of any other way for a while, if the general army is in a hurry, you might as well send someone to spy on this Li Dingguo first, and then find a way to deal with it." ”
Mao Wenlong frowned, sighed lightly and said, "Alas, if you have time to understand this Li Dingguo, then there won't be so much trouble now." ”
The founding ceremony is imminent, and if the threat of Li Dingguo is not eradicated, it will definitely make the founding ceremony unable to start as scheduled. Mao Wenlong was suddenly very bored and thought hard about what to do with the enemy.
Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment, and suddenly spoke: "Or, the general army will delay the founding ceremony for some time?" ”
When he could only choose one of the two, Hong Chengchou had no choice but to take the lead in making concessions.
Mao Wenlong looked at Hong Chengchou in surprise, shook his head and refused: "No need, this Li Dingguo is very interesting to me now, and it's a pity that such a person misses it." Tomorrow, I will personally go to Nanjing, but I want to see if this Li Dingguo really has three heads and six arms. ”
Hong Chengchou looked at Mao Wenlong in surprise, and immediately dissuaded: "Don't do it, the founding ceremony is imminent, if the general soldier is not there, then how can this ceremony continue?" ”
Mao Wenlong said indifferently: "What's so embarrassing about this, whether there is a founding ceremony or not, I am not the same in the end." It is my son who is the emperor, not me. This matter is settled, and tomorrow I will set off, and the affairs of the family will be handled by the labor army, and I will solve the other things. ”
In the face of Mao Wenlong's resoluteness, Hong Chengchou was also very hesitant, in fact, as Mao Wenlong said just now, it was Mao Xiaohu who was the emperor, and it really didn't matter if there was Mao Wenlong or not. Moreover, Mao Wenlong went to Nanjing, and Xi'an could hold the founding ceremony as scheduled, which can be described as the best of both worlds.
After some deep thought, Hong Chengchou finally chose to agree, after all, he had no better way to solve the current trouble.
Seeing that Hong Chengchou finally agreed, Mao Wenlong became overjoyed. This guy has been staying in Xi'an recently, and he has a lot of trivial things all day long, which has annoyed him to death. This time it's just an excuse to go out, and it's more about preparing to go to the ventilation, saving you from doing nothing in Xi'an all day.
With a hint of joy, Mao Wenlong made up his mind about the matter, and then went to Nanjing with a huge preparation.
Hong Chengchou, who is as scheming as an old fox, doesn't understand Mao Wenlong's true thoughts, he doesn't have any expression, and he just gives Mao Wenlong a chance to go out to relieve his boredom, otherwise, where will he succeed so easily.
Early the next morning, Mao Wenlong immediately set off in a hot air balloon, accompanied only by Hao Da and Hao Xiao. In addition, there were less than ten guards left, and a group of less than fifteen people flew to Nanjing against the rising sun.
In Nanjing, Cheng Zuo and Chen Qiyu, who were waiting for Mao Wenlong's reply, were surprised to learn that Mao Wenlong had come in person. In addition to surprising the two, the two also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, they both believed that as long as Mao Wenlong came, Li Dingguo would not be enough.
Mao Wenlong's record is very brilliant, and he has always maintained great prestige in the army, although he is a marshal who has never really gone into battle to kill the enemy, but every time he appears in the battle, he has never been defeated.
It can be said that Mao Wenlong is now like a god in the Dongjiang Army, and there is no one in the army who does not believe in him.
Anxiously waiting, Cheng Zuo and Chen Qiyu soon waited for the expected arrival of Mao Wenlong, and when the hot air balloon landed, Cheng Zuo and Chen Qiyu quickly stepped forward to greet them.
Mao Wenlong did not give the two failed guys a bad face, but smiled and asked the two to be exempt. Then, under the congratulations of the two, they came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after sitting down, Mao Wenlong asked bluntly: "How is the situation now, let's hear it?" ”
Chen Qiyu, as the commander-in-chief, did not give up his hand and said: "Chief Soldier, now neither the enemy nor I dare to act rashly, and the past few days have been calm, and nothing abnormal has happened. ”
