Chapter 255: Changsha Deliberation

.〕8)1〉

Mo Li smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite. By the way, Miss Liu, you just said that you like these two words very much, I think you might as well just change your name, right? This can be regarded as a farewell to your past, and the future will definitely get better and better! ”

Liu Yin was stunned for a moment, then his face turned slightly red, and he hurriedly bowed, and said crisply: "Thank you for the name!" Liu Yin also likes this name, thank you! ”

"Haha, if you like it!" Mo Li smiled, "From then on, the official will call you Liu Ru is girl!" ”

Haha, I didn't expect Liu Ruye's name to be given to her by herself, I don't know if future generations of historians will know about this anecdote. By the way, how did I like to change people's names recently, first Li Xin, and now Liu Ru......

"The maid is a subordinate, and the adult calls it so, so there is no need to call it a girl." Liu Ru said busily.

"No, no, no, this official has never treated you as a person, if you are a girl, you must not think so, you are a talented woman, how can you be a person for this official." Mo Li shook his hand again and again and said. If you let such a talented woman and beauty as one of Qin Huai's eight Yan be my maid, I don't know how many people will point at my nose and scold me in the future. But you can't be a person, you don't necessarily can't be a lady~

"Yes! Miss Liu, you should treat this as your own home, you, me, Miss Susu, we are about the same age, don't call me Mrs. Madame in the future, let's just be commensurate with each other, Miss Susu, what do you say? Liang Peijun also grinned.

"How can this be done?" The two said hurriedly.

Whether you make it or not depends on when you are willing to be the woman of the official~ Mo Li was obscene, coughed lightly and said: "I think this is good, you will still be sisters in the future, it's not so awkward." ”

Su Su and Liu Ru suddenly had two red clouds flying on their faces.

Cao Bianjiao and Zhou Yuji divided into two routes, one was led by Cao Bianjiao, and advanced from Tongcheng to Chongyang and Tongshan, and approached Wuchang.

Zhou Yuji led another line of soldiers and horses to Yuezhou, and after a few days of fierce attack on Yuezhou, Tuo Xianling led his troops to abandon the city and flee, running to Wuchang.

After Zhou Yuji took control of Yuezhou, he continued to lead his troops along the Yangtze River to chase Tuo Xianling, preparing to join forces with Cao Bianjiao and Wuchang to jointly exterminate the rebels of Wang Ziyong and Tuo Xianling.

Wuchang Mountain has a lot of water, the hills are undulating, the lakes and rivers are staggered, the water areas are vertical and horizontal, and it is the rainy season at this time, so it is inconvenient for the army to march, especially the large siege equipment, artillery, etc., it is even more difficult to transport. For this reason, Cao Bianjiao and Zhou Yuji confronted the rebels in Wuchang, Daye, and Xianning for more than ten days, and it was difficult to make progress due to the rainy season weather.

However, Li Guo has made great achievements in the southern mountainous areas, and the rebels have not gained a firm foothold in Changning, Anren, Chaling, Yongxing and other places, so they were killed by Li Guo and fled, and the towns and counties in the south that have been captured by the rebels have been recovered by Li Guo, and Hu Jianqing and other rebels have been forced to Guiyang and Guidong, almost no place to stand, and they are embarrassed.

Mo Li was about to lead Li Xin, Dongfang Jin and other staff strategists and He Zhendong, He Zhenbei, Xiao Yang and other generals to Wuchang to the north, and personally command the army to recover Wuchang and other places, but at this time Mo Li encountered a thing that could not be laughed at.

It turned out that after the traitor Zhang Xianzhong and others fled into Wugong Mountain, they quickly grew stronger in Jiangxi, and it only took more than a month to capture most of the county towns of Yuanzhou Mansion and some counties of Ji'an Prefecture, and soon pulled up nearly 100,000 horses and horses, and slaughtered Linjiang Mansion and Nanchang Mansion.

At this moment, the governor of Jiangxi panicked. With such a serious matter under his rule, more than ten prefectures and counties have been captured by the rebels, and they are still spreading to Nanchang, which makes him not in chaos.

However, the troops of the Jiangxi governor to organize the suppression of thieves were very soft, and they were defeated by the rebels, and they almost fled in despair.

When the governor of Jiangxi was anxious, he was at a loss in the face of the rapid rebel thieves, and he was sad and worried, thinking not about how to organize troops to encircle and suppress the rebels and actively deal with them, but in turn accused Mo Li of driving the rebels into Jiangxi.

No, Mo Li couldn't cry or laugh when he received the official document sent by the governor of Jiangxi, and shook his head.

The governor of Jiangxi asked Moli to send troops to help exterminate the thieves in Jiangxi and prevent it from poisoning Jiangxi.

Originally, the governor of Huguang and the governor of Jiangxi were not subordinate to each other, and the relationship between the two was not that of superiors and subordinates, so it stands to reason that the governor of Jiangxi asked the soldiers and horses of Huguang to assist in suppressing the bandits, but the other party is not your subordinate, and you cannot ask for assistance in the tone of orders and demands, and it should be in the tone of discussion.

But the governor of Jiangxi was also really funny, and he actually complained that Moli drove the thieves to Jiangxi, causing him to jump in Jiangxi chickens and dogs, and there was no peace, so Moli should be responsible for exterminating these rebels.

Since they are thieves, they are naturally wandering around, otherwise would they sit in place and wait for the officers and soldiers to come and suppress them?

Mo Li first thought it was funny, your Jiangxi soldiers and horses were not effective in suppressing bandits, but you blamed me for driving the thieves over, it's really funny.

But after thinking about it, since the governor of Jiangxi asked him to send troops to Jiangxi to assist in suppressing bandits, isn't this an opportunity?

There was no will and order from the imperial court before, and his new Liao army, as a soldier and horse under the command of the governor of Huguang, naturally did not have the right to enter Jiangxi at will, after all, it was the territory of other people, not under his own control.

But now that the governor of Jiangxi has an official request, it is different, he is justifiably helping the friendly and neighboring armies to fight against bandits, and no one can say anything.

In this way, the new Liao army will have the opportunity to expand its influence in Jiangxi.

Besides, Zhang Xianzhong is growing stronger in Jiangxi, and once he is full-fledged, he may threaten his rule in Huguang at any time, so it is better to exterminate it this morning.

At the moment, Moli held a high-level meeting to discuss the next strategic direction.

Participating in the discussion were Li Xin, Dongfang Jin, Chen Yan, 6 Chentao and other strategists, as well as Guan Feng, Du Geng, He Zhendong, He Zhenbei, Xiao Yang, Ba Laodao, Bai Zhicheng, Hui Dengxiang and other generals, and Liang Junchang, the grain and grass official, was also exceptionally present at the meeting.

Mo Li cleared his throat and said first: "Everyone, now Huguang, Changsha, Hengzhou, Yuezhou, Changde, Chenzhou, Jingzhou and other places have basically recovered stability, and various people's livelihoods are also recovering.

A force with Wang Ziyong and Tuo Xianling is still entrenched in the Wuchang area, and at present, Xiao Cao and Zhou Yuji are besieging Wuchang with their joint forces. The other force, with Hu Jianqing as the leader, is still active in the mountainous areas at the junction of Huguang and Jiangxi and Guangdong, and it is difficult to completely eradicate them.

As for the third unit, it is Zhang Xianzhong's guy, who has fled to Jiangxi, and there is an intensifying trend, and now the governor of Jiangxi asks us to send troops to suppress Zhang Xianzhong, but now Wuchang Xiaocao also urgently needs to invest more troops to recover Wuchang, everyone talks, what do you think? ”

This is a military intelligence meeting of the new Liao army, so Mo Li did not inform Lu Hanzhang to participate, there are some things, it is better not to let Lu Hanzhang know more about them.

As soon as Mo Li finished speaking, Xiao Yang said angrily: "It's really funny, what right does the governor of Jiangxi have to ask us to help him suppress the bandits?" That's what he did in Jiangxi! ”

"That's right! If he had the ability to do so, he would be able to drive the rebels back! Bai Zhicheng also said indignantly.

Mo Li glared at the two of them, and said lightly: "Now this official is asking you to discuss the strategic direction, not to make you complain, and then you two will be kicked out if you shout!" ”

Xiao Yang and Bai Zhicheng were stunned, how dare they complain anymore.

At this time, Li Xin said: "My lord, now that Yuezhou and other places have just been recovered, the troops have been spread too wide all of a sudden, and General Xiao Cao and General Zhou will inevitably be a little weak if they want to recover Wuchang, and Wuchang is the location of the Huguangbu political envoy, and Wuchang is geographically important outside, and the inside is dangerous according to the terrain, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight. If Wuchang is not recovered, Yuezhou, Changsha and other places will always be under the threat of the rebels.

And Huangzhou, De'an, Yingcheng, Jingling and other places north of Wuchang are still under the occupation of the rebels, and the people are miserable, and the people are not happy. In this way, the vast potential of the lake can be stabilized.

As for the request of the governor of Jiangxi to help suppress the bandits, the adults can ignore it, or they can send a general to lead a number of troops to assist from the side. ”

Guan Feng nodded, and said: "What Li Gongzi said is indeed not bad, the adults must manage the situation in Huguang, Wuchang and Jingzhou must not fall into the hands of the rebels, even Xiangyang, and it must be placed under control, otherwise it will be bad if Gao Yingxiang and other thieves go south from Shanxi and Henan again." ”

Mo Li slightly bowed, since he wants to run Huguang, Wuchang and Xiangyang must be in his own hands.

He Zhendong thought for a while and asked a question: "My lord, the last general thinks that although Wuchang is important, after all, there is still a buffer from Changsha, not to mention that now the Yuezhou area is under our control, and General Xiao Cao and General Zhou are attacking Wuchang, I believe that it is not a big problem to recover Wuchang."

It is Zhang Xianzhong, a traitor, he is now in Jiangxi, close to Changsha, and now the foundation of the adults is in Changsha, in case of Zhang Xianzhong's resurgence of the thief, and the army of thieves comes to take revenge and rob Changsha, it is very bad. ”

Everyone was shocked, yes, Zhang Xianzhong, the thief, ran to Jiangxi and showed himself quickly, and it didn't take long to pull up nearly 100,000 troops, if he captured most of Jiangxi, according to the momentum of this exhibition, it would not be difficult to pull up hundreds of thousands of troops.

Zhang Thief's wives and concubines are all in Changsha, and with his brutal nature, he may fight back against Changsha for revenge at any time......
