Chapter 279: Showing Loyalty

Kong Youde was in a hurry, so he simply dug out his heart and said it clearly, and directly asked Mao Wenlong to say it, and they would do it.

Mao Wenlong smiled, as if he had already made a decision in his heart, and he said indifferently: "What needs to be done, this is actually very simple, you and Shang Kexi only need to break with Huang Taiji." As for how you need to break up, that's up to you to figure it out. ”

Kong Youde didn't hesitate this time, he nodded, and said firmly: "Okay, then please give us a month, and after a month, we will give a satisfactory explanation to the general soldier." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Yes, there is no problem at all for a month, I am waiting for your good news." ”

Time was pressing, Kong Youde did not dare to have a moment's delay, and after discussing with Mao Wenlong, he asked for Mao Wenlong's consent on the same day, and then rushed back to Kaifeng City non-stop, took his subordinates, and immediately set off to go back to the border pass.

As soon as Kong Youde left, Chen Jisheng came to see Mao Wenlong, and he asked suspiciously: "Chief soldier, will it be a little hasty to let him leave like this." ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and said: "It's not sloppy, if he really wants to be obedient, he will naturally not let us down." If Kong Youde and they have no intention of converting, then what is the use of those subordinates who left him. ”

Hearing Mao Wenlong say this, Chen Jisheng suddenly felt reasonable, so he stopped saying more and fell silent.

Mao Wenlong glanced up at him and chuckled, "What, you still have something to say?" ”

Chen Jisheng hesitated slightly, plucked up the courage to say: "Chief soldier, have you already begun to accept Kong Youde and their submission?" ”

Mao Wenlong explained indifferently: "Kong Youde and Shang Kexi are both rare generals, if they are sincerely obedient, there is indeed nothing to dislike." ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong seemed to have seen the concerns in Chen Jisheng's heart, and said with a smile: "I know what your kid is worried about, don't worry." Even if they return, it will certainly not threaten your current position. The necessary punishment is still needed, otherwise how to convince the officers and men in the army. ”

Chen Jisheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately smirked: "The chief soldier is wise." ”

Mao Wenlong was about to count down Chen Jisheng for a few words, but unexpectedly, a loud voice sounded outside the door: "Chief soldier, Shaanxi sent an urgent report." ”

"Bring it in." Mao Wenlong's face was straight, and he shouted in a deep voice.

Hao Da strode in at the call, and after delivering the urgent report, he withdrew on his own, and closed the door.

Mao Wenlong opened it and saw that it was Li Zicheng, who had already sent troops into Shaanxi, who had made a move.

After Li Zicheng marched into Shaanxi, he was still in a no-man's land, and after quickly occupying Hanzhong and Xi'an, he settled down. But after they settled down, they actually began to slowly surround Xianyang City.

The Dongjiang Army in Xianyang City had discovered Li Zicheng's intentions and immediately reported to Mao Wenlong, asking him to decide whether to send troops to stop Li Zicheng's expansion and encirclement.

Mao Wenlong closed the emergency report and fell into deep thought. Chen Jisheng saw that his brows were deeply locked, and he seemed to be worried, so he opened his mouth and said: "Chief soldier, is it Li Zicheng from Shaanxi who is fighting our idea?" ”

Chen Jisheng's voice woke up Mao Wenlong, and he nodded and said: "Indeed, Li Zicheng's goal is very clear, as soon as he entered Shaanxi, he went straight to Xi'an. Later, Hanzhong Mansion was occupied, and the army continued to expand, and there was a great possibility of encircling Xianyang City. ”

"In this way, his purpose is to capture Xianyang City, and then use it to balance us." Chen Jisheng said fiercely.

"Shaanxi has no grain now, but Li Zicheng did not hesitate to send a large army at this time, obviously with the idea of fighting our grain."

"The subordinates are willing to lead troops to Xianyang City and fight with Li Zicheng's army."

"No, there is no need to use force with him now, just drag him, there is no food in Shaanxi, I want to see how long he can support him." However, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, there was a need for additional troops in the past. ”

After a short hesitation, Mao Wenlong gave Chen Jisheng an order: "You will go to the barracks tomorrow to select 5,000 cavalry, and 5,000 infantry will rush to Xianyang City to assist in the defense." Remember, don't fight Li Zicheng's army until you have to. ”

Chen Jisheng pouted, obviously he could easily defeat Li Zicheng, but he had to defend so aggrievedly, he was not very reluctant to do so. If it weren't for Mao Wenlong's order not to be disobeyed, he still hoped to directly start a fight with Li Zicheng's army.

Mao Wenlong knew Chen Jisheng's temperament very well, he immediately sank his face, and said coldly: "If you can't do this, then I will send someone else, maybe Xu Fusheng should be more competent." ”

Chen Jisheng is willing to let go of such an opportunity, and he is now wishing for an endless battle every day. When even wailed, he sincerely begged Mao Wenlong: "Don't, don't, don't, what do you say, I will definitely promise to do it." ”

Mao Wenlong snorted coldly, knowing that Chen Jisheng was already afraid, so he stopped teasing him and waved his hand to let him retreat.

He stayed alone in the study for a while, then got up and walked towards Chen Lan's small courtyard.

Chen Lan quietly mentioned to him a few days ago that Hong Ziyan has now begun to be anxious about her marriage with him. Now the old guy Hong Chengchou will no longer have any obstacles, on the contrary, the old guy has begun to rush to the marriage of Hong Ziyan and Mao Wenlong.

And the change of attitude before and after this was only a year, and in this year's time, Mao Wenlong confirmed his strength to Hong Chengchou. Now that the whole of Henan has fallen into the hands of Mao Wenlong, as long as this quarter's harvest can be passed smoothly, then next year, Mao Wenlong will no longer need to balance his development for the shortage of food.

As long as there is enough food, the army can expand at any time, and then plan for Shaanxi and Shanxi, which is not a problem at all. At that time, Mao Wenlong will truly form a strong trend with the imperial court, and he is fully capable of confronting the imperial court head-on.

And Mao Wenlong felt a headache when he thought of his marriage to Hong Ziyan at the moment. After all, it is really not suitable to talk about children's private affairs now, the current situation is turbulent, there are variables at any time, Mao Wenlong needs to be careful every step now, how can he dare to marry a daughter-in-law on the cusp of this storm.

When he was alone in the study just now, Mao Wenlong had already made a decision, and he was going to let Chen Lan inform Hong Ziyan on his behalf and let her wait. At least get the situation stabilized before thinking about getting married.

To Mao Wenlong's surprise, Chen Lan agreed without any hesitation after learning of his idea. And let Mao Wenlong feel at ease, saying that she would handle this matter well and would not let Mao Wenlong have any embarrassment.

Although Mao Wenlong still had some doubts in his heart, he was also relieved at the same time, and then he really handed over the matter to Chen Lan to take care of.
