Mao Wenlong resolutely did not send troops to fight Houjin, and Hong Chengchou saw that the persuasion was ineffective, so he immediately moved Chen Jisheng's thoughts. Militarily, Chen Jisheng is in full charge, if he can persuade Chen Jisheng to send troops to fight Houjin, then he will find a way to persuade Mao Wenlong, which is naturally much better than himself.

Just do it when you think of it, Hong Chengchou didn't delay at all, he immediately rode to the barracks to find Chen Jisheng.

The barracks are very lively, and recently there has been peace and quiet in various places, and the imperial court is busy dealing with the Houjin who has invaded again. Li Zicheng has not moved for a long time since the last defeat in Shanxi, and now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

Therefore, the generals of the Dongjiang Army have been gathering here since Mao Wenlong got married, exchanging experiences in training soldiers every day, and living a leisurely life.

When Hong Chengchou arrived, the generals were discussing how to help the three brothers of the Lijia family build a navy. Although the military expenditure had to be borne by the Dongjiang Army, this was also a manifestation of the expansion of the army again.

Therefore, the generals of the Dongjiang Army are all very active, and they regard this matter as the top priority in the army at present.

"General Chen, can you take a step to speak?" Hong Chengchou entered the barracks, and under the guidance of the soldiers, he came to the tent, and he opened his mouth bluntly to interrupt the people who were deliberating.

Chen Jisheng saw that Hong Chengchou was anxious, and knew that something big must have happened to make Hong Chengchou look like this, he didn't dare to slack off, let his subordinates continue to discuss, and then left the tent with Hong Chengchou and came to a remote no-man's land in the camp.

"What's the urgency of Lord Hong?" Chen Jisheng's face was full of seriousness.

Hong Chengchou didn't have any delay, and told the story of the matter straightforwardly, and then asked Chen Jisheng: "If it were you, would you take the opportunity to join forces with the imperial court to deal with Houjin?" ”

Chen Jisheng didn't even have to think about it, he shook his head and said: "What kind of excitement are we going to make at this time, isn't it in our best interest to watch the court and Houjin fight with peace of mind like now?" ”

After Hong Chengchou heard this, he found that Chen Jisheng's tone was really similar to Mao Wenlong. He didn't expect Chen Jisheng to refuse again without even thinking about it, and Hong Chengchou was a little anxious.

"Think about it, if the imperial court is defeated this time, and then the Houjin Chang drives straight into the Central Plains, won't we have to face the Houjin alone? Therefore, instead of having to fight against Houjin alone, it is better to take advantage of the current time to unite with the imperial court to fight Houjin, wouldn't it be more advantageous! ”

Hong Chengchou frowned, and Chen Jisheng's tone didn't seem to have a trace of impulsiveness. This is not like the usual Chen Jisheng, Hong Chengchou also knows him very well, Chen Jisheng is a fierce general who likes to fight, how can he be a lock turtle!

Chen Jisheng still shook his head after hearing this, he shrugged his shoulders and said: "At present, we have just expanded our army, and half of the 500,000 army are new recruits, and they still haven't been on the battlefield. Don't think we're so strong right now. ”

Hong Chengchou didn't seem to have the intention of giving up, and he said again: "Isn't this just the right time to let these recruits go to the battlefield and really hone them?" ”

'Not good!'

Chen Jisheng snapped his fingers and said: "First, now we are in the development stage, and the quiet days provide us with precious time. It is really not suitable to work hard to find trouble, besides, it is not a wise choice to cooperate with the imperial court, and the Dongjiang army does not need to cooperate with the imperial court at all. ”

Chen Jisheng also had great confidence in the Dongjiang Army and disdained to cooperate with the imperial court at all. Thinking that they will bump here, everything is because of the imperial court, and there are many people in Liaodong in the past, and it is because the imperial court sent Yuan Chonghuan over that it led to the catastrophe.

Chen Jisheng doesn't know if anyone will remember this incident in the future, but he is sure that those innocent people from Dongjiang Town who were innocently implicated will remember this incident for the rest of their lives, just like him.

In fact, Hong Chengchou also let himself fall from the clouds to the ground because of the relationship with the imperial court, if it wasn't for Mao Wenlong who recruited him at that time, he would not know how to spend the rest of his life there.

But Hong Chengchou's education since childhood determined that his thinking was very different from that of Mao Wenlong and others, who were far away from Beijing. Hong Chengchou grew up under the influence of the idea of loyalty to the monarch since he was a child, and such thoughts have been engraved in his mind, causing him to still be loyal to the emperor after being treated unfairly by the imperial court.

And Chen Jisheng, the victims of Dongjiang Town, are completely different from Hong Chengchou, they are fighting for life and death with Hou Jin every day, and they live a life of licking blood from the knife. What loyal monarchs are bullshit to them.

Every time they go to war, they first have to think about how to survive the war, and then they have time to think about anything else. In particular, the imperial court has always provided very little assistance to Dongjiang Town, and even repeatedly failed to supply enough armaments.

Dongjiang Town can be said to have been established by Mao Wenlong, and when they had no food, they went to grab Houjin, and rarely relied on the imperial court. After a long time, naturally there is no good impression of the imperial court.

Hong Chengchou was a little helpless and a little anxious at the moment, from the attitudes of Chen Jisheng and Mao Wenlong, he already understood that the attitude of the Dongjiang Army towards the imperial court was already very bad. Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible to let Mao Wenlong move closer to the imperial court.

"Alas...... Forget it, since you didn't agree, then I never mentioned it! Hong Chengchou reluctantly accepted the reality, and he was not ready to do any more useless work. For the kindness of the cultivation of the imperial court, it may only be repaid by other methods in the future!

Watching Hong Chengchou's lonely back leave, Chen Jisheng's face was full of inexplicability. What else is there to be nostalgic for in the current imperial court? Think about the people who defected to Mao Wenlong, who will still miss the court now.

The imperial court has lost the hearts and minds of the people, and the people hate them more than they hate Li Zicheng and these rebels. At this time, Hong Chengchou was still trying to help the imperial court, Chen Jisheng didn't know what to say about him?

Chen Jisheng stopped and hesitated for a moment, and finally asked his cronies to tell Mao Wenlong everything Hong Chengchou said to him just now. As for how Mao Wenlong will treat Hong Chengchou at that time, it is not something Chen Jisheng needs to care about.

Having fulfilled his responsibilities, Chen Jisheng no longer dwelled on this matter, he forgot about it, and then returned to the commander's tent to continue to discuss the construction of the navy with the generals.

Mao Wenlong soon received the news from Chen Jisheng, and after a little hesitation, he quietly pressed this matter and did not mention it, as if he did not want to have any suspicion of Hong Chengchou in the near future!
