Chen Qiyu came with full sincerity from the beginning, so after Mao Wenlong said that he would not return to the imperial court, he did not show any angry looks. The fastest update did not try to persuade Mao Wenlong, and simply let Mao Wenlong make his own request, his purpose was very simple, hoping that the two sides would not use knives and guns.

Mao Wenlong obviously saw Chen Qiyu's sincerity, and the anger he had just now slowly calmed down. From the beginning, Mao Wenlong was not ready to use force with Chen Qiyu, especially in Yexian, which is currently in an important stage of development.

Once the fight really started, Mao Wenlong felt that Ye County would not be defeated, but if he won in the end, Ye County would probably be almost destroyed. And this is exactly what Mao Wenlong can't accept, so he doesn't want to do it directly with Chen Qiyu.

Neither side has the intention of making a move, so it will naturally be easy to talk about it next.

Mao Wenlong showed a smile on his face, and he said slowly: "Actually, it's not impossible to fight, of course, I also have conditions." The Ming people don't talk darkly, and I hope that Governor Chen can give me a hundred Three-Eyed Fire Systems. ”

Chen Qiyu was very surprised, and at the same time very embarrassed, after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Is this your request?" ”

Mao Wenlong nodded: "Yes, this is the only request." ”

In fact, Mao Wenlong didn't ask for it at all, and this request was still something he came up with on an improvised basis.

Chen Qiyu laughed, and he said cheerfully: "No problem, tomorrow evening, Brother Mao can send someone to pick it up here, and I will order someone to send it here." ”

The two agreed very quickly, and then Chen Qiyu went to retreat first, and Mao Wenlong stayed where he was to watch him, until Chen Qiyu and the others completely disappeared from sight, Mao Wenlong turned around and went back to Yexian City.

It's not early, it's about the second watch, the moon is hanging high, it seems that in recent years, it is rare to see a dark cloud covering the top of Yexian County. It looks like tomorrow will be another dry day.

Mao Wenlong returned to Mao's mansion and saw that Hong Chengchou had not rested, but was drinking tea and admiring the moon in the courtyard of the front hall.

"Why don't you sleep yet?" Mao Wenlong walked straight over and sat down beside him.

Hong Chengchou smiled, and then poured tea for Mao Wenlong, and said with a smile: "You haven't come back yet, how dare I sleep first." By the way, how did you talk to that Chen Qiyu? ”

Mao Wenlong smiled, and he smiled very thiefly, the guy in front of him was obviously gossiping in his heart, but he still pretended to care about people. Mao Wenlong immediately labeled Hong Chengchou as hypocritical in his heart.

Taking a sip of fragrant tea with just the right water temperature, Mao Wenlong said: "Fortunately, he doesn't want to start a war with me, so we hit it off." In the end, I asked him for a hundred Three-Eyed Fire Commanders, and we agreed not to go to war for the time being. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Hong Chengchou had doubts on his face.

"How complicated do you think, Chen Qiyu was not able to sit as the governor of the five provinces by luck, he did have that strength." Speaking of this, Mao Wenlong squinted at Hong Chengchou, and the meaning was obvious.

Compared with Hong Chengchou, the trilateral governor, who has been sitting for less than three months, Chen Qiyu is obviously more capable of things than him. knows more about being an official, at least he understands what he should do and what he shouldn't do.

Hong Chengchou also seemed to see through Mao Wenlong's thoughts, but this guy was really thick-skinned, and he said indifferently: "When it comes to the way of being an official, Chen Qiyu is indeed much smarter than me, and there is nothing bad to admit about this." It's just that this time Chen Qiyu obviously has an advantage, why would he let you put forward conditions, shouldn't he have made conditions? ”

Chen Qiyu completely took the lead this time, and there was no need to humble Mao Wenlong, although he now had a heavy responsibility. That is to annihilate all the rebel rogues, and that is his main task.

But at present, Liukou is in Henan, and most of his soldiers and horses are here, so it is very convenient to attack Yexian. There is no need to whisper to Mao Wenlong, which makes Hong Chengchou very incomprehensible.

Mao Wenlong laughed and explained: "It's very simple, Chen Qiyu doesn't want the fruits of his labor to be wasted because of a small Ye County. Now is the key for him to encircle and suppress the Liukou, if because of the matter in Ye County, he will lose the opportunity to encircle and suppress the Liukou. In the end, he will inevitably be blamed by the imperial court, and people don't want to bear this black cauldron, so they would rather temporarily truce with me than take risks. ”

Hearing Mao Wenlong say this, Hong Chengchou was immediately stunned. He nodded and said, "Indeed, it is naturally important on the side of the imperial court. But why did you promise him a temporary truce? You must know that Chen Qiyu is going to deal with the rogues, if the rogues are all wiped out, won't you be the only one left in Henan to face the imperial army? ”

This time, Mao Wenlong completely went against his previous assumptions, and it is no wonder that Hong Chengchou is curious.

Mao Wenlong replied: "Do you think Chen Qiyu can really exterminate the rogues in one fell swoop?" ”

Hong Chengchou was slightly stunned, and he asked rhetorically: "Can't it?" ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and said, "If the Liukou were wiped out so easily, why did the imperial court have to wait until now. The root cause of the rogue is that the people have no food to eat, if the court can't help the people and give the people hope to live, I dare to guarantee that even if Chen Qiyu is lucky enough to destroy all the rogue this time. Yes, there will still be a lot of rogues in the future. ”

Hong Chengchou closed his eyes, and he fell into deep thought. Mao Wenlong's words are completely reasonable, the root cause of the people's rebellion is indeed whether they can survive or not, not the problem of a few rogue leaders.

Just imagine, if the people all lived, who else would respond to these leaders. It is estimated that these rogues will eventually collapse on their own, and there is no need for the imperial court to send a single soldier.

"It seems that you do think a lot more than I do about certain things. I don't have anything to worry about, so be it, it's dark and get off early. Hong Chengchou got up, dropped a few words and left on his own.

Mao Wenlong looked at his departing back, shook his head, drained the rest of the tea, and then went back to his room to sleep.

Before going to bed, he did not forget to let Haoda inform Chen Jisheng, who was still in the marriage period, that he should go to the land temple three miles outside the east city gate tomorrow evening to collect a hundred three-eyed fire systems.

After Haoda agreed, he went straight to find Chen Jisheng. Mao Wenlong slept with peace of mind, Chen Qiyu was doomed to fail this time, Mao Wenlong was very curious about whether his final fate would be like Hong Chengchou, and he would be dismissed.

Chen Qiyu is still a talent, if he really lost because of the encirclement and suppression of the rogue, and was dismissed by the imperial court, Mao Wenlong would not mind throwing an olive branch to him. After all, these are talents, Mao Wenlong has never liked to let go of talents, and he might as well try it if he has such an opportunity.
