Chapter 429: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
After Mao Wenlong listened to Hong Chengchou's report, he was stunned for half an hour. He really couldn't think of where Chongzhen got the courage to say such an impertinent request. After reacting, Mao Wenlong smiled angrily: "It seems that Chongzhen's face, he doesn't want it, he can even say such naΓ―ve words." β
Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Chief soldier, then do you see this angel now or not?" β
Mao Wenlong immediately snorted coldly: "If there is anything to see, send it back directly." Let the angel tell Chongzhen that if he wants to take back half of Shandong, then he will directly send troops to fight. If you have the ability to do it, don't try to play any emotional cards with Lao Tzu. β
A subtle hint of disappointment flashed in Hong Chengchou's eyes, but it was quickly hidden, and then said casually: "Since this is the case, then I will send the angel back now." β
Mao Wenlong nodded in agreement with Hong Chengchou, and after seeing Hong Chengchou leave, he turned around and went back to the backyard.
Two days later, the angel was sent away, and Mao Wenlong also received a battle report from Huguang, saying that King Fu was now in full control of Huguang. The task of the Dongjiang Army has been completed, and now the division is on its way back to Korea.
When Mao Wenlong learned about it, he specially ordered someone to go to Sichuan to see what Li Zicheng's reaction was. However, what puzzled him was that Li Zicheng didn't react at all. According to investigation, it is only recently that all cities in Sichuan have begun to impose martial law, and the others are still not abnormal.
After learning the news, Mao Wenlong was very puzzled, he definitely didn't believe that Li Zicheng would be flustered. Huguang fell into the hands of King Fu, and Li Zicheng and they had to face the three forces.
Under such pressure, Mao Wenlong couldn't guess why Li Zicheng still didn't move at this moment, what was it for?
Fortunately, Li Zicheng now has no threat to Mao Wenlong at all, if he can't guess it, Mao Wenlong is not obsessed with finding the answer, he directly ignores Li Zicheng.
The strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak, there is a reason for this. Mao Wenlong and Li Zicheng's strength has grown now, and the distance has become wider and wider. Li Zicheng's current situation is to give him a comfortable stay in Sichuan for ten years, and he still can't catch up with Mao Wenlong.
Obviously, Li Zicheng is also aware of this, so he is so afraid of Mao Wenlong. Otherwise, with his bare feet and afraid of Mao Wenlong, who wears shoes, Li Zicheng would dare to provoke even the elephant of the imperial court.
According to normal logic, it is natural that he should not be afraid of Mao Wenlong, a talent who only occupies Henan and Shaanxi. But the truth is not as simple as it seems.
Li Zicheng realized that if he shrank in Sichuan like this again, the consequences waiting for him would inevitably perish, so the most important thing for Li Zicheng at present was to break the current predicament.
King Fu occupied Huguang, Mao Wenlong occupied Henan and Shaanxi, and now Li Zicheng has only one way out. And this retreat is also bumpy, full of unknowns and dangers.
Li Zicheng, who burned his eyebrows, had to break through the predicament in front of him as soon as possible, so he had to take risks, and it was normal for him to even make a desperate bet.
On the banks of the Yellow River, on the winding paths, there are more than a dozen fast horses galloping in the night. The bright moonlight allowed these people to see unobstructed, and the ride went smoothly.
The leader is Li Zicheng, who has disappeared for nearly a month, and with him are several henchmen of Yingshanjian.
Yingshanjian had previously made a bold proposal to Li Zicheng, divide his troops to lurk across Huguang, and then go straight to Nanjing. The intention was to use the method of sneak attack to take Nanjing in one fell swoop without the gods knowing.
Then they sent troops together with the old nest in Sichuan to quickly conquer Huguang, and the meaning of Yingshanjian was obvious, that is, they wanted to quickly take Huguang and Nanjing before the Dongjiang Army reacted.
Although such an idea is very crazy and difficult to achieve, Li Zicheng has no way out, he can only face the difficulties and break the boat.
If Li Zicheng gets his wish, then it will naturally be the best, and the worst result is no different from their worst plan. Therefore, Li Zicheng is not worried about what he will look like after he fails.
"King Chuang, before dawn we will be able to enter the Nanjing Realm and join our army that has lurked first. As long as there are no accidents, we can launch an attack on several major cities in Nanjing the day after tomorrow, and success or failure will be determined here. Yingshanjian galloped wildly and discussed with Li Zicheng loudly.
After Li Zicheng heard this, the expression on his face was still gloomy as water, no matter who encountered such a thing, he was not in a good mood. Li Zicheng is just a mortal, so naturally he can't change anything?
"There were no accidents with the 100,000 troops, right?" Li Zicheng tilted his head and glanced at Yingshanjian.
"King Chuang, please rest assured, now the 100,000 army has arrived at the meeting place as scheduled. I guess this will already be waiting for us. "Yingshanjian swears.
When Li Zicheng saw this, he was also quite relieved.
After that, everyone no longer had any discussion, but concentrated on riding their horses and galloping wildly, hurriing all the way to Nanjing.
Huguang had just been seized power, and King Fu couldn't wait to go over to check it out in person. At this time, in order to be able to stabilize Huguang, King Fu had already transferred seventy percent of Nanjing's troops.
Now Nanjing is in an extremely empty time, and King Fu dares to do this, in addition to his confidence in himself. He also believes that he does not dare to make trouble on his turf at present.
However, King Fu's optimistic spirit was soon awakened by an urgent report.
A tired spy rushed over, knelt directly on the ground with a plop and said, "King Fu, it's not good." Just now Nanjing sent news that a number of cities were attacked by a large group of people of unknown origin overnight. β
King Fu was shocked when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "How many cities have fallen?" Also, who did it? β
The scout didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly responded: "Nearly ten small cities have been occupied by them, and this group of troops has not known when. Before that, our tanma didn't even notice anything. β
Realizing that the problem was very serious, King Fu said with a heavy face: "Send someone to ask Mao Wenlong for help immediately, it is best for him to send the Dongjiang Army to help again." β
Gao Jie immediately went out of the ranks, and then led the order to retreat and go forward.
Here, King Fu is living like a year in torment, and he sincerely hopes that Mao Wenlong can send troops to help him get through the critical moment this time.
After King Fu got things done, he was a little relieved. But what he didn't expect was that the army that came out of nowhere had already occupied half of the entire Nanjing.
