Since the Dongjiang Army gained a firm foothold in Yexian, it had never suffered such a blow. The tragic situation in Jinan Mansion made Mao Wenlong haunted him all the time, and the tragic scenes made him unable to sleep at night.

At the same time, Mao Wenlong was also thinking about whether he had done something wrong. The tragic situation in Jinan Mansion in front of him and the heavy casualties suffered by the Dongjiang Army in this attack do not seem to be directly related to Mao Wenlong on the surface.

But if it is carefully studied, the Dongjiang Army can completely avoid this disaster-like encounter. The capital city of Jinan does not need to be hit by such a devastating blow as Wu Sangui.

In the dead of night, Mao Wenlong sat alone in the courtyard of the mansion, staring at the sky in a daze. He had been going on like this for about two hours, and after going out to pursue Wu Sangui in vain that day, he had already returned in the evening of the same day.

At this moment, he has been standing beside Mao Wenlong for two hours, but he has not seen any signs of Mao Wenlong coming to his senses. Haoda inevitably began to worry in his heart, and wanted to open his mouth to wake up Mao Wenlong, but he didn't dare to open his voice to disturb.

The great hesitation appeared from the beginning, and now two hours have passed, and the vast can no longer hold back. Just when the great change was opening, unexpectedly, Mao Wenlong suddenly said: "Do you think I, the chief soldier, have I been out of duty?" ”

After being stunned for a moment, Hao Da realized that Mao Wenlong was asking himself, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Why did the chief soldier suddenly say such a thing?" ”

"Alas!"

Mao Wenlong sighed lightly and said, "I'm thinking, if I am strong from the beginning to the end, I won't give the enemy any respite. Today, such a situation in Jinan Fucheng will definitely not occur, so now I feel that I am still too soft-hearted. ”

Haoda frowned: "The chief soldier doesn't have to be like this at all, what happened to Jinan Fucheng this time was completely an accident, please don't think too much about it." ”

Shaking his head, Mao Wenlong said: "I can't think about it too much!" If I don't know how to reflect, then what difference am I from that fool. ”

In the face of such Mao Wenlong, Hao Da didn't know how to persuade for a while, blaming him for always being a character who was not good at words. Mao Wenlong in front of him was obviously the time when he needed to be solved, but he felt a sense of powerlessness.

Fortunately, at this moment, Haoda also thought of a person, maybe he could give Mao Wenlong a good explanation, thinking of this, Haoda immediately bowed his hand and said: "Chief soldier, now that the matter of Jinan Fucheng has come to an end, it is better to leave the rest of the matter to Li Jie." ”

When Mao Wenlong heard this, he finally looked up at Haoda: "Do you want me to go back to Xi'an now?" ”

Haoda no longer concealed his purpose, he said frankly: "The general soldier is confused in his heart, and his subordinates are too shallow to give good advice to the general soldier. Therefore, the general soldier may wish to return to Xi'an and have a good discussion with Hong Junshi, maybe the confusion in your heart can be easily solved. ”

Hearing this, Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Maybe this is also a good way." ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong made up his mind and continued: "Okay, as you say, we will leave for Xi'an early tomorrow morning. ”

Haoda was overjoyed, hurriedly agreed, and then sent Mao Wenlong back to the house to rest.

As soon as the day dawned, Mao Wenlong summoned Li Jie, who was busy, and told him to properly take care of the aftermath of Jinan Fucheng. and told him that if there was any need, he would open his mouth to him, and Mao Wenlong would do everything possible to satisfy him.

After Li Jie thanked Mao Wenlong, patted his chest and promised to complete the task, and then personally sent Mao Wenlong away. Looking at the hot air balloon in the sky that was gradually moving away, Li Jie turned around and continued to go about his own business.

After Wu Sangui's raid on Jinan Mansion failed, there was no further action. And Huang Taiji, who was performing in Shanxi, immediately withdrew his troops after learning that Wu Sangui had actually lost, and did not dare to start a war against the Daimyo's Mansion again.

When he returned to Xi'an, it was already three days later, and Mao Wenlong learned for the first time that the war in Shanxi had also subsided. The anger in his heart has not disappeared, and his hatred for Wu Sangui and Huang Taiji is even deeper.

"Military, you said that if we start a full-scale fight with Huang Taiji and Wu Sangui now, what are the chances of winning?" Mao Wenlong finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart and asked Hong Chengchou.

From Mao Wenlong's tone, Hong Chengchou already understood that when he was in Jinan Mansion, Mao Wenlong must have encountered something? Otherwise, with Mao Wenlong's character of never taking the initiative to fight, there must be a reason for taking the initiative to fight this time.

"Can you tell us why you suddenly had such an idea?" Hong Chengchou said softly.

Mao Wenlong's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, and he said in a dark voice: "This time, the trip to Jinan Mansion City made me realize a truth. The enemy will not reciprocate your friendly kindness because of your forbearance. Instead, they'll just think you're just a shrunken turtle or a fragrant bait that can run up and bite at any time. Based on this consideration, I feel that I have an unshirkable responsibility for what happened to Jinan Fucheng this time. ”

Seeing Mao Wenlong suddenly say such a serious thing, Hong Chengchou was not worried but overjoyed, he chuckled and said: "It seems that the general soldier has finally grown up." ”

Mao Wenlong was stunned for a moment, and said inexplicably: "Where do you start with this?" ”

Hong Chengchou said unhurriedly: "In the troubled times, there are only enemies and interests, and there are no so-called friends at all. The lessons of the predecessor of the imperial court are still vividly remembered, and originally, the imperial court could have wiped out Li Zicheng's chaotic parties a long time ago. But because of the emperor's benevolence, it led to today's end, and the general soldiers woke up at this time, which is really gratifying, and it is not too late. ”

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment and said, "In this way, does the military advisor agree that we are now using troops against Huang Taiji and Wu Sangui?" ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "It should have been like this a long time ago, the Dongjiang Army has never lacked the strength to take the initiative, but it has been suppressed by the general army. Moreover, now that the south is temporarily stable, it is time to compete with Huang Taiji and Wu Sangui. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded heavily: "Yes, this time not only will Huang Taiji be beaten back to the outside of the Saiwai, but Wu Sangui's old nest Liaodong, and I, Mao Wenlong, will also be taken." ”

Hong Chengchou suddenly reminded: "Don't be careless in the general soldiers, neither Huang Taiji nor Wu Sangui is a person to be underestimated. What's more, now the general army has to deal with the two of them at a time, so please think twice about it. ”

Mao Wenlong agreed without hesitation, and then began to discuss the plan with Hong Chengchou in detail on the spot.
