Anger is the trigger, impulse is the devil, and the demise of the 5,000 heroic officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army caused great pain to Mao Wenlong. The seeds of hatred have germinated in Mao Wenlong's heart, and the anger in his chest has nowhere to vent, and it has fermented and swelled in his heart, which has seriously affected Mao Wenlong's normal judgment.

Fortunately, Hong Chengchou arrived in time and gave Mao Wenlong a correct analysis and calmed him down. And Mao Wenlong also realized that he was wrong, and after calming down, he also accepted the reality and no longer desperately wanted to attack Jinguo.

But this does not mean that Mao Wenlong will let go of the shackles in his heart like this, he has already heard some extraneous voices from Hong Chengchou's tone, and guessed that Hong Chengchou should have a way to retaliate against Huang Taiji.

At this time, Hong Chengchou can be said to be an outsider, so he can stay calm enough, and he can also think about the whole situation more carefully, and draw the right direction from it.

Facing Mao Wenlong's questioning at the moment, Hong Chengchou obviously knew that Mao Wenlong had not given up his revenge on Huang Taiji. Although on the surface he is no longer obsessed with immediate revenge, he still thinks about it in his heart.

After some deep thought, Hong Chengchou said seriously: "Chief soldier, there is no good way, it is still the same old saying. If we want to do a good job, we must first sharpen our weapons, and only when we sharpen our knives enough can we cut off the heads of our enemies with a single sword. ”

Mao Wenlong didn't seem to understand what Hong Chengchou said, he hesitated for a moment and then said, "What kind of sharp weapon method?" ”

Hong Chengchou said unhurriedly: "Obviously, before the arrival of spring, we will not be able to send troops to the Jin Kingdom anyway, so we should make adequate preparations as much as possible now, and then slowly think of ways to attack the Jin Kingdom when spring comes." ”

The reason is very simple, Mao Wenlong understood it as soon as he heard it, but Mao Wenlong was still unconvinced. Being put in such a position by Huang Taiji, but unable to give a counterattack in the shortest possible time, will inevitably have a big blow to the morale of the Dongjiang Army.

"What do you think we should do first?" Mao Wenlong simply asked the point.

"First of all, it's a question of people. We must recruit as many troops as we can from now on, and try to defeat at least 300,000 soldiers and horses before spring comes. Hong Chengchou said without hesitation.

"We have to recruit 300,000 soldiers and horses all at once, not to mention whether it can be achieved. Even if it can be realized, it must be some recruits who have never been in the battle formation and have seen blood, and they have no combat effectiveness at all. What is the use of such 300,000 soldiers and horses, in my opinion, it is not as great a deterrent as 10,000 veterans. Mao Wenlong once again raised the doubts in his heart.

"The general army misunderstood, these 300,000 newly recruited soldiers and horses are not for them to conquer the Jin country, but to train them a little, and then replace these recruits with those veterans who were originally assigned to garrison in various places. Then these replaced veterans will be reorganized into a truly strong army, and there will be no problem in conquering the Jin country. Hong Chengchou explained with a smile.

Mao Wenlong was stunned, slapped his head suddenly, and said in annoyance: "It seems that I was just confused, and I didn't expect such a simple truth." ”

Hong Chengchou smiled and said, "So, did the chief soldier agree to this proposal?" ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said: "Naturally, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you can't become a fat person in one bite, and you can't be impatient!" ”

Hong Chengchou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, he could already see from Mao Wenlong's performance that Mao Wenlong had completely calmed down. Seeing this, Hong Chengchou had nothing to worry about, and completely let go of the stone in his heart.

"The chief soldier can understand, and the subordinate has nothing to worry about." Hong Chengchou smiled with a smile.

Mao Wenlong smiled, waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry to take the burden first, the matter of sending troops to the Jin Kingdom has been decided to slow down." But the matter of recruiting troops has not yet been settled, and I just heard that the military advisor has quite an opinion on this matter, you see, or ...... like this."

Before Mao Wenlong's words were finished, Hong Chengchou immediately interrupted him: "If the chief soldier wants to hand over the recruitment matter to the lower officials, it must not be." ”

Hong Chengchou's urgency and resoluteness made Mao Wenlong stunned for a long time, and said suspiciously: "Why is this?" ”

Hong Chengchou arched his hand and explained: "Don't forget, the chief soldier, the lower officials are still taking care of the political affairs of the entire north, where can they still be busy." ”

Mao Wenlong suddenly came to his senses, Hong Chengchou didn't say that he really forgot about this scumbag. Indeed, the current political affairs are all taken care of by Hong Chengchou, and it is indeed a little difficult for him to be busy with recruiting troops.

After thinking deeply, Mao Wenlong simply said: "Since this is the case, then this matter will not be mentioned again." ”

Hong Chengchou saw that Mao Wenlong did not force himself, and after breathing a sigh of relief, he hurriedly said goodbye, saying that he had been stuck all the way. Mao Wenlong naturally didn't stay, and after nodding his head in agreement, he watched Hong Chengchou leave.

The matter of recruiting troops was temporarily put on hold, and Mao Wenlong also figured it out, and he was not in a hurry at this meeting.

The snow was falling heavily on the grassland, the cold wind was cold, and the cold weather at the moment was like Huang Taiji with a gloomy face, and his heart was also cold to the freezing point. Jiayuguan was defeated again, which made Huang Taiji feel great pressure from the elders of the major tribes again.

Luo Ge and Luo Wei are at the bottom of Huang Taiji at this moment, and Amma, who is looking at him at the moment, has a gloomy face, and there is a possibility of eruption at any time, and Luo Ge is also cautious, not daring to make any mistakes.

Huang Taiji was silent for a long time before he said coldly: "Luo Ge, can you explain to me now why the Fusang people failed to hold back the Liaodong Dongjiang Army?" ”

Logge's body shook slightly when he heard this, the more he was afraid of something, the more he came? How did he know what the reason for the Fusang people was, and they did not hold back the Dongjiang Army, so in the end, the Dongjiang Army from Liaodong rushed to Jiayuguan to reinforce them.

And the Huang Taiji in front of him obviously attributed the reason for the failure of Jiayuguan to the Fusang people. This also means that he is involved with Logge, Logge's face is full of helplessness, he quietly looks at Luo Weicai, hoping that he can answer this question for himself.

However, Luo Weicai's eyes were slightly closed at the moment, looking like he was wandering out of the world, as if he didn't see the distress look that Logge threw at him.

Seeing this, Logge cursed Luo Weicai fiercely in his heart, and then said helplessly: "Amma, the child doesn't know why. However, we acted exactly according to the plan that had been agreed upon, and nothing went wrong. ”

Huang Taiji immediately drank coldly: "There was no mistake, you said that there was no mistake, so why did that Chen Jisheng appear in Jiayuguan at the last moment?" ”
