Mao Wenlong was scared away, leaving Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan in the imperial study. However, Mao Wenlong never expected that as soon as he walked on the front foot, Hong Ziyan immediately burst into tears and laughed behind him.

Chen Lan glanced at Hong Ziyan and complained dissatisfiedly: "Sister, you did it on purpose!" ”

"Sister, Xianggong was so fierce just now, if I don't cry for a while, how can this matter be stopped."

Hong Ziyan paused for a moment and asked mysteriously: "Sister, what did Xianggong say to you just now after muttering to you for a long time?" ”

Chen Lan grinned and said, "You, don't be so impulsive in the future, Xianggong is really angry this time." You will still be more restrained in the future, and this is the first time you have made a mistake, and he will not be held accountable. But let me tell you not to make such a mistake again, you know! ”

Hong Ziyan was obviously frightened just now, and when she heard that Mao Wenlong would no longer pursue it, she was already overjoyed. nodded again and again: "Sister don't worry, sister knows." ”

After this lesson, Hong Ziyan was also really scared, thinking back to Mao Wenlong's angry appearance before, she had palpitations!

Leaving aside his worries, Mao Wenlong hurriedly left the imperial study and returned to his room, but met Hong Chengchou who was waiting here at the door.

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "What's the matter with Mr.?" ”

Hong Chengchou motioned for Mao Wenlong to enter the room with him before he spoke: "Good news has come from Zhejiang, Huguang and Guangzhou, but there is an accident in Guizhou. ”

"Oh, what's the surprise?" Mao Wenlong frowned slightly.

"The army of the vassal kings in Guizhou is extremely cunning, or it is completely divided into soldiers and hidden among the people. The Dongjiang army suffered heavy losses there, with little success, and has not yet been able to capture a third of its territory. Hong Chengchou said worriedly.

"There is such a thing......" Mao Wenlong suddenly fell silent.

After a long time, Mao Wenlong asked in a condensed voice: "Has Zhejiang and Huguang stabilized now?" ”

Hong Chengchou paused for a moment and said: "Zhejiang is okay, General Chen Jisheng relied on iron-fisted means to kill the army of the vassal kings there without leaving a single piece of armor, and more than half of them were killed and wounded. I scared them all, and now they have calmed down, and there is almost no covert resistance. However, Huguang is not really stable at present, except for the heavily garrisoned city, there are still a lot of rebel troops in the rest of the suburbs. ”

"So, we can't draw troops from these two places to besiege Guizhou?" Mao Wenlong frowned and pondered.

"That's true, and if possible, we'd better have to increase our troops. As for Guizhou, at least 30,000 soldiers and horses are needed, and without 30,000 soldiers and horses, it will definitely not be able to quickly clear the rebel army of the vassal kings there. After thinking about it carefully, Hong Chengchou explained to Mao Wenlong the specific number of troops required.

Zhejiang, Huguang, and Guizhou fought at the same time, and the Dongjiang Army has now invested a full 150,000 troops. These 150,000 troops are almost all the soldiers and horses that can be mobilized by the Dongjiang Army at present.

If it is calculated according to what Hong Chengchou just said, that is, if Mao Wenlong wants to quell the war in the three places as soon as possible, he still needs to find a way to increase the army by 50,000.

50,000 soldiers and horses is completely insignificant for Mao Wenlong in normal times, but at this moment, he really can't think of any other place where he can quickly transfer 50,000 soldiers and horses?

"Sir, have you ever thought about how to raise these 50,000 soldiers and horses as soon as possible?" Mao Wenlong couldn't think of a way, so he could only raise his head and ask Hong Chengchou for advice.

Hong Chengchou also seemed to be asked, and the battle report from the front had just arrived, and he didn't have time to think about it. Now that Mao Wenlong asked about such a headache, he really couldn't think of any good way.

"Chief soldiers, there is really no place to draw these 50,000 soldiers and horses out at once." Hong Chengchou said in a dull voice.

"Then what is good, according to what you just said, if you can't increase the troops as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will not be difficult for an accident to happen in Guizhou." Mao Wenlong frowned.

"General soldier, Guizhou is not yet so critical, and we don't have to be too impatient. In my opinion, we might as well draw some from each of the places, so that we will not break our muscles and bones and cause accidents. After thinking deeply, Hong Chengchou came up with a compromise solution for Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong nodded after hearing this: "Now it can only be like this, then Mr. Lao will negotiate the roster of each city as soon as possible." ”

Hong Chengchou agreed, and then left in a hurry.

Mao Wenlong looked at his departing back, frowned, didn't think about it anymore, turned around and was about to wash up. But I heard a knock at the door.

"What?" There is always only a huge knock on the door, and Mao Wenlong didn't want to ask directly.

Outside the door was really huge, he pushed the door directly, walked quickly in front of Mao Wenlong, and bowed: "Chief soldier, Miss Ouyang is asking to see you outside the palace." ”

Mao Wenlong paused for a moment: "What is she doing here?" ”

Hao shook his head and said, "The guards who came to report didn't say anything. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Mao Wenlong ordered in a low voice: "Take her in a small sedan chair and don't make a noise." ”

Haoda hurriedly agreed, and left in a hurry.

Mao Wenlong was in a daze for a moment, then came to the outer living room with a wry smile, instructed the eunuch to make tea, and evacuated all the guards outside to the outside of the courtyard.

Soon after, Haoda and a few guards carried a small sedan chair and came quickly. The sedan chair was carried directly into the house, and Ouyang Xiaoling's delicate body appeared in front of Mao Wenlong's eyes.

Ouyang Xiaoling, who has been carefully dressed, exudes a beautiful brilliance at the moment. It was Mao Wenlong, a righteous gentleman on the surface, who couldn't help but be stunned at the moment, and looked at Ouyang Xiaoling a few more times.

seemed to notice that Mao Wenlong's eyes were looking at him, but Ouyang Xiaoling was generous, and deliberately swayed his delicate body a little during the period, so that Mao Wenlong could see himself better.

With Ouyang Xiaoling's slight swing, the natural body fragrance emanating from her body soon sent to Mao Wenlong's nose with the wind.

"What a beautiful stunner!" This is Mao Wenlong's heart.

Mao Wenlong did not indulge in beauty for too long, and he quickly came to his senses: "What is the matter with you coming to see me?" ”

Ouyang Xiaoling smiled: "Could it be that this is the hospitality of the chief soldiers?" ”

At such a mention, Mao Wenlong found that Ouyang Xiaoling was still standing at the moment, he hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and invited: "Miss Ouyang, please take a seat." ”

Ouyang Xiaoling was not polite at all, and after throwing a bright smile to Mao Wenlong, she turned around and sat down. When she moved, another gust of fragrant wind drilled directly into Mao Wenlong's nose.

"Tea, please!" In order not to let himself lose his temper, Mao Wenlong immediately diverted his attention.

After Ouyang Xiaoling took a sip of tea, Mao Wenlong continued: "What can I say now?" ”
