Chapter 587 - The Only Request
Adou's explanation was obviously recognized by others, and Uncle Guan said that he would not help Adou, but in fact, it was just a knife mouth tofu heart. After seeing that the others did not stand up again, Uncle Guan discussed with the others in a whisper.
Adou knew that Uncle Guan and they still needed a little time, so he didn't bother, but walked away on his own, leaving the dining hall to Uncle Guan and them to discuss.
Haoda was pulled downstairs by Adou, who went downstairs, in order to make Haoda not resentful of what happened just now, Adou generously called the shopkeeper and asked him to present all the wine and food in the store, so as to block Haoda's mouth.
I was frozen outside for most of the day early in the morning, and it was rare that some hot wine and food could fill my stomach and warm my body, and I generously forgave Adou for my stool.
Before the table was finished, Uncle Guan asked the shopkeeper to call Adou upstairs again.
Uncle Guan smiled and said to Adou: "We have all discussed it just now, and we have decided to help you for a while." If it doesn't suit us, stop there. ”
Adou was overjoyed when he heard this, hugged his fists and bowed down and said, "Thank you Uncle Guan for taking care of your little nephew, what do you have any requirements for Uncle Guan?" ”
Uncle Guan raised his head and glanced at the others, and said with a smile: "We only have one request, and we don't need anything else." ”
Adou said again: "Please Uncle Guan speak up." ”
Uncle Guan nodded and said, "You have already said before, and now the place where we are hidden has begun to be unpeaceful. Everyone's family and clan are used to living there, and it may take a lot of time to get used to moving to another place. Therefore, we wondered if we could mention it to your commander-in-chief, so that he could send troops to quell the confusion there and restore a quiet and peaceful environment to our homeland. ”
After Adou heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "Please rest assured, I, Adou, have put down my words today, even if you don't agree to help, I will ask the general soldier to calm down the confusion there you." ”
After hearing this, everyone nodded to express their satisfaction, and Uncle Guan patted Adou's shoulder and said, "Okay, then we are here to wait for your good news." ”
Adou laughed twice, immediately said goodbye to Uncle Guan and the others, hurriedly went downstairs, pulled Haoda, who was still drinking, and quickly rushed out of the teahouse towards Mao's mansion.
In the study, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou were discussing the affairs of Liaodong, when they suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and when they turned around, they saw Adou and Haoda pushing the door in.
When Adou saw Mao Wenlong, his face was full of joy, and he smiled and said to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, the matter has almost been done. Now all you need to do is nod your head, and we can immediately set off for Liaodong. ”
"Oh, what do you need me to nod my head on?" Mao Wenlong looked at Adou, his face full of doubts.
"Commander-in-chief, they have already said that you only need to order a large army to go to Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan, to clear out all the bandits and officers and soldiers entrenched there, and to leave a Dongjiang army to guard there. To ensure that the place where they secluded was peaceful, they were willing to go to Liaodong with their subordinates. Adou was slightly excited.
"Send troops to Sichuan...... Mao Wenlong hesitated.
Sichuan has already been handed over to Chongzhen to manage, and it seems a little inappropriate to send troops at this time.
"Chief soldier, is there anything difficult about it?" Seeing Mao Wenlong's hesitant face, Adou immediately began to worry.
"Sichuan is still Li Zicheng's old army entrenched, if the Dongjiang Army passes now, it will inevitably cause panic, and a big war cannot be avoided." At this moment, it is the time of winter, and it is not appropriate to send troops at this time. Mao Wenlong was also worried that he would disrupt the situation in the south, which was temporarily stable.
The north and the south are now completely separated, and Chongzhen ostensibly stayed in Nanjing to rebuild the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it was Mao Wenlong who had to make a choice in order to temporarily stabilize the south.
Now that the north has not completely stabilized, if troops are sent to the south at this time, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction, causing panic among the feudal kings in the south. One is not good, those vassal kings who were originally scattered like sand were frightened and united to fight against the Dongjiang army, then Mao Wenlong would lose more than he gained.
Adou obviously didn't expect things to be so complicated, in his opinion, it was just a Jiuzhaigou. It only took 10,000 Dongjiang troops to quell the chaos there, but now it seemed that things were far more complicated than he thought.
After thinking about it for a while, Adou bowed his hand to Mao Wenlong and said: "Chief soldier, why don't you give me 15,000 soldiers and horses, disguise yourself as a rogue and enter Sichuan, and then go to Jiuzhaigou to quell the chaos, so as not to expose the identity of the Dongjiang Army." Do you think this will work? ”
Mao Wenlong didn't respond to Adou immediately, but turned his head to look at Hong Chengchou beside him and gave him an inquiring look?
After thinking about it for a while, Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "This plan is feasible, but after you go to Liaodong to complete the task, you have to lead the troops to Jiuzhaigou to quell the chaos." ”
The matter in Liaodong is more urgent, if you can't quickly solve those enemies hiding in the shadows. It is difficult to guarantee that the Dongjiang Army there will be attacked again, and it is a major matter to shake the morale of the army, and it must not be delayed for a moment.
Mao Wenlong knew that Hong Chengchou's consideration was correct, and he also agreed: "Adou, you think about it, if it works, then do what we just said." ”
Adou nodded, didn't say anything? After giving up, he immediately said goodbye and left.
As soon as he left, Adou didn't come back tired until the next morning, and he said to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, the matter has been negotiated, they promised to go to Liaodong first to settle the affairs there, and then bring the troops back to calm the chaos in Jiuzhaigou." ”
Mao Wenlong was overjoyed when he heard this, and patted Adou on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, when you are ready to set off, just tell Haoda what you need, he will meet all your needs." ”
Adou nodded in understanding, and then resigned.
In the afternoon of the same day, Adou asked for more than forty war horses from Haoda, and then returned to the teahouse to meet Uncle Guan and others. Uncle Guan, who had already packed his bags, set off for Liaodong after meeting with Adou.
The situation in Jiuzhaigou is not optimistic, and every day of delay will be more dangerous there. Everyone's family and relatives are living in Jiuzhaigou, no one dares to take it lightly, only by quickly completing the affairs of Liaodong, can we borrow soldiers and horses from Mao Wenlong to quell the confusion in Jiuzhaigou.
Braving the whirring cold wind, Adou and the others left Xi'an City straight under the eyes of Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong, who was watching them leave from the city tower, chuckled: "Do you think they can find out the enemy in the dark?" ”
Hong Chengchou shook his head and smiled: "I don't know about them, it's impossible to guess." ”
