Chapter 369: Prestige

Chen Jisheng led 20,000 Dongjiang troops back, and came back two days before Mao Wenlong's wedding, and the time was just right.

Due to the current chaos in Shanxi, Chen Jisheng and their route back have changed, and they directly crossed the mountains from Tatar into Shaanxi, which is one of the reasons why they were able to rush back so quickly.

Of course, Chen Jisheng dared to do this, also because the whole army is currently cavalry, with horsepower and weight, the return of the soldiers is easy.

On the school field outside Xi'an, 20,000 cavalry of the Dongjiang Army stood silently, and Chen Jisheng and Xu Fuju put on clean armor and stood proudly in front of the battle.

When they went out, 30,000 people were still recruits, but when they came back half a year later, they had already become a division of a hundred battles. After the baptism of war and blood, they seem to have grown a lot.

Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou rode to inspect it, and when they saw this cavalry with good military discipline and great power, they were very shocked.

Not to mention anything else, just these 20,000 cavalry should be invincible on the land of the Central Plains. And with Mao Wenlong's current strength, he can also afford this 20,000-strong cavalry.

"The Dongjiang Army is mighty, and the general army is mighty!" When Chen Jisheng saw Mao Wenlong coming, he immediately knelt on one leg and then shouted.

"The Dongjiang Army is mighty, and the general army is mighty!"

All the cavalry officers and soldiers followed closely behind, shouting in unison, shaking the wilderness, floating in the sky above the city of Xi'an, attracting countless people watching from afar.

Cheng Zuo was standing on top of the city tower at this moment, and when he saw the cavalry of 20,000 led by Chen Jisheng, he knew in his heart that he had lost, not only lost, but also lost completely.

However, he did not become decadent because he lost, but was more happy and excited. As a member of the army, there is no reason to be unhappy or unhappy when you see such a strong army suddenly appearing in the army.

A smile appeared on Chengzuo's face, and he galloped downstairs quickly, riding towards the school grounds.

Mao Wenlong was very satisfied, Hong Chengchou was bright, obviously, both of them were shocked! Such a strong army is rare in the world, judging from the sharp aura exuded by the army at this moment, Hong Chengchou has no doubt that Chen Jisheng is not exaggerating their military exploits.

"Good, good! Hahaha......"

Mao Wenlong turned over and dismounted, walked quickly in front of Chen Jisheng and Xu Fujuan, bent down to help the two of them, and hearty laughter spread throughout the wilderness.

After that, the cavalry battalion dispersed, and Chen Jisheng and Xu Fuzuo accompanied Mao Wenlong and rushed towards Mao's mansion.

That night, Mao Wenlong set up a banquet for the two of them.

During the banquet, Mao Wenlong did not hesitate to praise Chen Jisheng and Xu Fu, and made the two of them flutter for a while, so unexpected.

Coupled with Cheng Zuo, who sincerely accepted defeat, congratulated and congratulated on the side, and the atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak for a while.

After being happy, Mao Wenlong didn't forget to knock the two of them, only to see his face suddenly become serious: "You did a beautiful job this time, but you can't be arrogant because of this, as the so-called arrogant soldiers will be defeated, you must keep it in mind." ”

Chen Jisheng and Xu Fuju did not dare to slack off, and immediately got up and assured Mao Wenlong: "Rest assured, our goal is more than that. ”

Mao Wenlong was slightly stunned, and then looked at Chen Jisheng suspiciously.

The latter laughed twice and explained: "When we really fought with the Houjin cavalry, we found that our subordinates still had many deficiencies, so we will not relax our vigilance, and we will definitely train them more in the future." ”

Mao Wenlong suddenly came over and chuckled: "It's so good, don't be foolish with your kid." This time, you not only completed the mission, but also unexpectedly brought back such a strong army. The credit is not small, and it also allows the two of you to really establish prestige in the army. ”

After a moment's hesitation, Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, and then announced to Chen Jisheng: "In view of your performance, this cavalry will be put in the hands of the two of you from now on. Since this army was created by you, it will be called Chen Jiajun in the future! ”

Chen Jisheng was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and he knelt down excitedly to thank him!

There is no doubt that since then, Chen Jisheng's prestige in the army is absolutely unparalleled. In the past, he had been worried that his prestige in the army was not as good as others, especially Shang Kexi and Kong Youde, who had just returned.

Now that Mao Wenlong said this, he no longer needs to worry about this, and in the future, the cavalry of the 'Chen Family Army' will be under his control, and there is nothing to worry about.

The banquet lasted until midnight, and although Chen Jisheng was drunk and faint, he couldn't sleep all night after he went back.

At dawn, the latest battle report was sent from Shanxi, the imperial court had recaptured the three cities one after another, and Li Zicheng's rebel army was constantly defeated, if nothing else, in another month or two, the war in Shanxi would inevitably be calmed down.

Without the threat of Houjin, the imperial court is no longer subject to enemies on both sides, and it is not a problem to deal with Li Zicheng alone.

However, to Mao Wenlong's surprise, there was also a big gift along with Shanxi's latest battle report. This gift was not given by others, it was Li Zicheng who was in danger.

In addition to money, there are a lot of gold, silver and jewelry, and in addition to these gifts, there is also a handwritten letter from Li Zicheng.

After Mao Wenlong opened it suspiciously, a smile appeared on his face. It turned out that Li Zicheng already felt that he was about to be unable to withstand the suppression of the imperial army. This will be desperate, he hopes to get Mao Wenlong's help, so when Mao Wenlong got married, he specially sent a big gift to ask for help.

found Hong Chengchou, Mao Wenlong threw Li Zicheng's letter to him, and then asked: "Do you think I should help him?" ”

Hong Chengchou just glanced at it quickly, and then shook his head and said: "I don't know why you have always kept Li Zicheng's chaotic army, with your current strength, he is no longer worth to you, why do you want to help him?" ”

Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What you said is true, Li Zicheng really has no use value to me now. Just let Li Zicheng be eliminated by the imperial court, and then the imperial court will inevitably point the spearhead at the Dongjiang Army, which will directly evolve into a frontal fight between the Dongjiang Army and the imperial court, do you think now is the time? ”

Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, he handed the letter back to Mao Wenlong, and then said: "You have to make your own decisions about everything, and there is not much difference between helping and not helping." ”

According to Hong Chengchou's opinion, Li Zicheng can no longer become a climate, even if Mao Wenlong helps him escape now, it will definitely be a trouble in the future. And facing the problem of the imperial court has actually become inevitable, even if Mao Wenlong can delay for some more time, but how long can it be delayed?
