The pirates, whose strength had lost more than half, ended up fighting in a mess because of the uneven distribution of warships. This was something that Mao Wenlong did not expect, and on the way back to Xi'an, he received a message from Cheng Zuo, and in a fit of rage, he ordered to unify all the pirates by force.

In the end, the grief-stricken pirates got nothing, and under the strong pressure of the Dongjiang army, they threw away their weapons and surrendered. And those unconvinced leaders were beheaded on the spot, without the slightest emotion.

According to Mao Wenlong, this is to shame him and force him to use force to solve it, so naturally there is nothing polite to be polite. In the past, the Dongjiang Navy had not yet developed, and most of the pirates were scattered all over the place, so it was obviously not so easy for the Dongjiang Army to encircle and suppress them. And it's very likely that they'll scare the pirates and push them to the side of the pirates.

But now it's different, the pirates have lost more than half of their strength first, and they are all concentrated here in Andongwei, which is completely under the control of the Dongjiang Army. Under such circumstances, Mao Wenlong certainly did not have the power to let these pirates continue to be arrogant.

The pirates were completely co-opted, and the one who benefited the most was Jiao Long, who no longer had a messy gang after the co-optation. Now there is only one legion, and that is the Jiao Long Battalion, and the leading commander is Jiao Long himself.

His veteran subordinates also rose with the tide and became the generals of the Jiaolong camp, and at this point, the pirates were completely co-opted. With a little time of training, let them all abide by the rules, and they will definitely be a strong army with good combat power.

The small episode did not affect Mao Wenlong's itinerary, and ten days later, he returned to Xi'an. Hong Chengchou led his family to greet him outside the house, and when he saw Mao Wenlong, he asked about the Japanese Kou?

Mao Wenlong did not hide it, he spoke out, and told everything in detail. Hong Chengchou was relieved to learn that Mao Wenlong's trip to Andongwei not only repelled the pirates, but also dealt with the pirates.

After reuniting with his family for a while, Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou came to the study together, and the two just got off their seats. Mao Wenlong opened his mouth and asked: "What is the situation in Sichuan now?" ”

Hong Chengchou groaned and said: "King Fu sent a letter yesterday, anxiously begging us to immediately send troops to Sichuan to help him quell the war. ”

Mao Wenlong frowned when he heard this: "How did it become like this? It didn't all go well before, and King Fu once captured a few small cities, so it stands to reason that this shouldn't happen! ”

Mao Wenlong, who was full of doubts, really couldn't figure it out, when he left Xi'an to go to Antonwei. King Fu is still smooth sailing in Sichuan, but now it has become such a situation, there is obviously something strange in this?

Hong Chengchou sighed lightly and explained: "The general soldiers don't know that King Fu actually fell for the schemes of Li Zicheng's old troops from the beginning. The few small cities that King Fu had attacked and defeated before were just those deliberately lost by Li Zicheng's old troops to King Fu to occupy. Their purpose was to trap King Fu in these small cities, and then take turns to besiege them. By the time King Fu reacted, it was too late, they had no possibility of breaking through, they were in danger, and there was a danger that the city would be destroyed at any time. ”

Mao Wenlong raised his eyebrows and said dissatisfiedly: "It seems that this Fu Wang is really a dou who can't be helped, and such a simple plan stumped him." It was in vain that we sent him so many supplies, all of which were used on the dogs, and it was wasted. ”

Speaking of this, Hong Chengchou obviously has the same idea as Mao Wenlong, obviously a good hand, but in the end he was played like this by King Fu, which is a pity.

Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment, and then asked Mao Wenlong for instructions: "Chief soldier, then do we want to send troops to Sichuan next?" ”

According to Hong Chengchou's view, Nanjing and Huguang are now all under the control of the Dongjiang Army. In the south, the Dongjiang Army has these two places, which can be regarded as opening the door to the south. As long as Nanjing and Huguang are stabilized, they can attack south at any time in the future.

And if Sichuan were to be taken now, it would inevitably arouse the alarm of the autonomous warlords in the south. It is very likely that they will directly unite to confront the Dongjiang Army, which is really unfavorable to the Dongjiang Army at this time.

Mao Wenlong obviously understood the meaning of Hong Chengchou's words, Sichuan was not in a hurry to take it, but handed it over to King Fu to toss, which is such a consideration. But now King Fu doesn't seem to be this material, and the mud can't support Adou on the wall, so Mao Wenlong has to reconsider.

"Sending troops is bound to send troops, but we have to change the conventional method, King Fu is still in the open, and our Dongjiang army can only disguise its identity and plan in secret." After pondering for a long time, Mao Wenlong finally made up his mind.

Hong Chengchou paused, nodded and said: "This method of the general army is feasible, as long as we don't know what to do, those generals in the south who support the army and respect themselves will not have so many worries." ”

Mao Wenlong's proposal was agreed by Hong Chengchou, and he made a decision: "Okay, then it's decided, the old way, you are responsible for the logistics problem." I personally went to the barracks and found a few generals who could do it safely. ”

Hong Chengchou didn't say much, nodded and agreed, and then left immediately. The army did not move the grain and grass first, which was a must for the ancient army to march and fight. There were only Mao Wenlong and Haoda left in the study, he looked up at the sky, it was almost evening, Mao Wenlong and Haoda ordered: "Tell the lady that they don't have to wait for me to eat tonight, we will go to the barracks now." ”

Hao Da hesitated and persuaded: "Chief soldier, if we wait for dinner and then go, we won't be in a hurry for a while." ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not in a hurry, the problem is that King Fu may break the city at any time, if he suddenly hangs up, then I have to find another person to replace him." ”

The affairs of Sichuan are indeed not very urgent for Mao Wenlong. At present, he is still concerned about the Japanese invaders, and no matter how much the warlords in the south jump, they are in the pocket of the Dongjiang army. What Mao Wenlong was afraid of was that the would-be would-be invaded and mixed in to make trouble on land, so it would be a big trouble.

Seeing that Mao Wenlong looked resolute, Haoda could only shut up and obey his fate, and after saying goodbye, he left in a hurry.

Mao Wenlong changed into a battle armor by himself, and as soon as he finished the bunch, he saw Hao Da coming in a hurry: "Chief soldier, I have informed the two ladies." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "Then don't delay, get things done earlier, and we can also strive to rest earlier." ”

"Yes, Commander!" After Haoda said yes, he led the way in front and led Mao Wenlong and the others to the outside of the house.

At this time, two war horses had been prepared outside the gate of Mao's mansion, and the two of them turned over directly on their horses and rode to the military camp in the city.
