Chapter 763: The Wolf Has More Meat and Less Meat (Page 1/1)

Chen Jisheng got Mao Wenlong's approval and led 10,000 cavalry to fight as he wished, although he could not directly fight with the forces of King Fu, but Chen Jisheng was still secretly happy in his heart. In his opinion, as long as he can lead the troops out, there will always be a chance to fight, which is much better than staying by Mao Wenlong's side and fighting the enemy.

The belligerent Chen Jisheng left, and the tense atmosphere of Nanjing City was also eased, after all, the two armies had not yet started fighting. The panic emanating from the war has not yet reached the hearts of ordinary people.

After Mao Wenlong inspected Nanjing, he also found that Li Dingguo was too strict and should not have placed martial law in Nanjing so soon. Looking at the empty streets, there were only soldiers patrolling back and forth, and there was no figure of half of the people, Mao Wenlong said earnestly: "General Li, there is no real war yet, I don't think Nanjing will be under martial law first." ”

Li Dingguo was stunned for a moment, and said resolutely: "General soldier, although the battle has not really started yet, the enemy army has already pointed at Nanjing, and it should be okay for us to make some preparations earlier." ”

Mao Wenlong frowned, and simply said bluntly: "It is necessary to prepare early, but now that Nanjing City is under martial law, it is unknown when the battle will start." After a long time, it will affect the lives of the people, and the normal daily trade is gone, so what should so many people in the city live on? ”

Li Dingguo suddenly came over, and he realized that Mao Wenlong did not mean his military deployment, but was concerned about the people's livelihood. Thinking about the fact that after he recently ordered martial law, the people in Nanjing City did have some resistance. Although the time is short, and the people's dissatisfaction has not yet erupted, if it is really as Mao Wenlong said just now, the time for the war has been dragged on for a long time, and the people of Nanjing City will inevitably break out one day.

Figuring out what Mao Wenlong was thinking, Li Dingguo also realized his mistake, and he immediately said: "The subordinates are not thoughtful, so go and cancel the martial law order." ”

Without waiting for Mao Wenlong to respond, Li Dingguo hurriedly left after reporting the report, but Mao Wenlong shouted at him and said with a wry smile: "Martial law does not have to be canceled, and there is no problem with martial law in military deployment." All you need to do is lift the martial law that has affected the people! ”

Li Dingguo nodded yes, and then said goodbye and left. Mao Wenlong and Cheng Zuo also lost the intention of continuing to wander on the street, and the two immediately went back to their homes and returned to the Palace of Heart Cultivation in the Imperial City.

After taking his seat, Mao Wenlong suddenly asked Cheng Zuo: "Why don't you say that this Fu King didn't first integrate the forces of the entire south before launching an attack on Nanjing?" But do you want to do such a thing with great momentum when you are not fully prepared? ”

In Mao Wenlong's opinion, since King Fu has the ability to make the vassal kings of all the southern forces support him, he should take this opportunity to unify the south. However, King Fu's approach was the opposite, not to integrate the south first, but to attack Nanjing and start a war with the Dongjiang army. What is the reason for this, Mao Wenlong is puzzled?

Obviously didn't expect Mao Wenlong to ask himself such a question, Cheng Zuo was asked on the spot, and after a long time, he said: "Chief soldier, my subordinates don't know." ”

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong had a premonition in his heart, otherwise he would have felt deep disappointment when he heard Cheng Zuo's answer. He shook his head and said no more, and Chengzuo also resigned with interest shortly thereafter.

Waiting is always anxious or uneasy, and the confusion in Mao Wenlong's heart has never been explained well, so the wait is even more tormenting.

Three days later, in the early morning, a fast horse galloped into the city of Nanjing and headed straight for the imperial city. The sound of horses' hooves was like raindrops, breaking the silence of the early morning, and the people stopped and watched everywhere they went.

The fast horse galloped into the imperial city at great speed, and the guards let it go without even checking the identity of the fast horse messenger when they saw the identity of the fast horse messenger. The messenger soon arrived in the hall of Mao Wenlong's temporary residence, the Hall of Heart Cultivation.

"Report, General Chen has an urgent report from the front." When the messenger saw Mao Wenlong, he immediately made his intentions clear.

Mao Wenlong's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he said excitedly: "Hurry up and present it." ”

Unexpectedly, Chen Jisheng was only away for three days, and an urgent report could be delivered, which really surprised Mao Wenlong.

Sending an urgent report, the messenger retreated silently after giving it over, and at this time, the generals had already heard the news and arrived one after another. When Mao Wenlong finished reading the emergency report, he looked up and found that more than a dozen people from Chengzuo were already waiting aside.

"Jisheng sent an urgent report, and I have already found out why King Fu was able to call on the vassal kings of various places." Mao Wenlong opened his mouth and said.

"What is the reason?" Cheng Zuo immediately asked.

"It's very simple, the reason is that Chongzhen is actually ready to give up his imperial power, and a holy decree is announced to all the vassal kings in the world, saying that whoever can defeat me Mao Wenlong can rightfully sit on the throne that everyone covets." Mao Wenlong's words were full of bitterness.

Judging from Chongzhen's choice, he is no longer ready to reconcile with himself, but is determined to let the Ming Dynasty still be in the hands of the Zhu family. At this moment, Mao Wenlong also suddenly understood why King Fu did not integrate the southern forces first, but directly sent troops to attack Nanjing.

Chengzuo frowned deeply after hearing this, in fact, he had heard Mao Wenlong and Hong Chengchou discuss this situation before. But Hong Chengchou firmly believes that Chongzhen will not make such a decision even if he dies, however, now that the facts are in front of him, Hong Chengchou's affirmation is a joke.

"Chief soldier, should we send more troops to Nanjing to defend now?" Cheng Zuo bowed his hand to Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, but shook his head and said: "There is no need for this now, although Chongzhen has nothing at the moment, he is always the upright and righteous Emperor of the Ming Dynasty." And those vassal kings are all salivating for the throne, and Chongzhen's holy decree hits the weakness of those vassal kings, so now everyone wants to kill me, so as to justifiably obtain the throne. ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong's expression froze, and he continued with a cold snort: "The combined strength of more than a dozen vassal kings in the south is indeed not to be underestimated, but unfortunately they are not monolithic. In the end, there is only one person who can ascend to the throne of the Ninety-Five, and this is our opportunity. From this point of view, perhaps this huge war is not impossible to resolve. ”

Li Dingguo was very absorbed when he heard this, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "The meaning of the general soldier's words is not to divide them, and then break them individually." ”

Mao Wenlong glanced at Li Dingguo, threw him an appreciative look, and then smiled: "Yes, we just need to divide them or pretend to be invincible, and it is not impossible for their own people to fight first." ”
