Chapter 515: Stumbling Block
Da Da Da ......
In the early hours of the morning, Xi'an Fucheng was still immersed in tranquility, and suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves on the street.
The early vendors all looked in amazement at the dusty cavalry rushing away in front of them. Since Mao Wenlong took control of Shaanxi, it has been a long time since such a situation has happened in Xi'an.
This is an eight-hundred-mile rush of the messenger cavalry, and it is obvious that there is another battle somewhere for such a situation to occur. The people they saw along the street began to talk about it, but it was only a little talk they had to talk about.
The people would not be worried at all, they believed that Mao Wenlong and the powerful Dongjiang Army were invincible.
"General soldier, general soldier ......" Hao Da shouted three times in a row.
There was still no movement in the house, and in desperation, he had to reach out and knock on the door.
"It's early in the morning, so don't let people sleep......" Mao Wenlong's muttering came from the room.
Haoda was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Chief soldier, there is an urgent report from Datong Mansion, and you need to see it now." ”
"Squeak!"
The door opened suddenly, and Mao Wenlong asked in a daze after opening the door in pajamas: "What happened in Datong Mansion?" ”
Without saying a word, he handed the urgent report in his hand to Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong took it without hesitation and opened it to watch.
After a cursory glance just now, Mao Wenlong immediately frowned, and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and invite the military advisor to my study immediately, and discuss with him if you have something." ”
"Yes!" After bowing his hand, he turned and left.
Mao Wenlong pondered at the door for a moment, turned around and went back to the room to get dressed, and then went to the study.
Hong Chengchou soon came to the study with Haoda, and when he saw Mao Wenlong's brows furrowed, Hong Chengchou immediately asked, "What happened?" Why worry? ”
Mao Wenlong handed the urgent report to Hong Chengchou and motioned him to read it before he continued: "The Liangshan area of Datong Mansion has found traces of Li Zicheng and his subordinates. ”
Hong Chengchou didn't answer, read the emergency report carefully, and then said with a surprised face: "Li Zicheng is still alive, last time he was completely defeated in Beijing, we all thought that he had died in the hands of Huang Taiji, but we didn't expect him to hide in the Liangshan area of Datong Mansion." ”
Mao Wenlong snorted coldly: "Regardless of whether he is alive or dead, as long as he dares to come out, he will never be allowed to escape this time." ”
Hong Chengchou glanced at Mao Wenlong in surprise, and asked suspiciously: "Why did the general soldier suddenly hate Li Zicheng so much." ”
Mao Wenlong shook his head and said: "It's not that I hate him, but that Li Zicheng will only become the scourge of the Dongjiang Army now, and there is no advantage for us now." ”
Hong Chengchou said in understanding: "Today's Li Zicheng has nothing to use, on the contrary, he has now become a stumbling block for the Dongjiang Army. This person is quite good at demagoguery in some poor and remote places, and now the north has completely stabilized, and he can't be left! ”
Mao Wenlong was silent for a moment, and suddenly shouted loudly outside the door: "Haoda, go and call Chengzuo immediately." ”
Haoda, who was guarding outside the door, said yes and left quickly.
After Mao Wenlong watched Haoda leave, he turned to Hong Chengchou and said: "I owe Zhuang Yexiang a promise before, and it seems that now is the time to fulfill her wish for many years." ”
Hong Chengchou nodded silently, and when it came to this, he also knew a lot. Li Zicheng is actually not dead yet, so he will hand over the matter of killing him to Zhuang Yexiang, which is just right.
Chengzuo did not delay for long, and it took less than half an hour to come from the barracks to Mao's mansion.
Mao Wenlong didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "The urgent report just sent from Datong Mansion said that Li Zicheng's traces were found in the Liangshan area. ”
Cheng Zuo's body shook slightly, and his gaze became eager: "Chief soldier ......"
Mao Wenlong waved his hand and interrupted Cheng Zuo's words: "Okay, I understand your intentions, this time I will authorize you and Zhuang Yexiang to go to encircle and suppress Li Zicheng." ”
Cheng Zuo was very excited, and immediately knelt down and thanked Mao Wenlong for fulfilling his wish.
Mao Wenlong helped Chengzuo up and instructed: "Li Zicheng has always been cunning, it is not easy to kill him, and I learned from Adou's mouth that he still has a master by his side to protect him." So, you have to be prepared this time and don't miss out on the opportunity. Also, when you set off, remember to call Adou, the odds of winning with him are much greater. ”
Cheng Zuo nodded again and again, and after thanking Mao Wenlong, he couldn't wait to say goodbye and leave, saying that he wanted to inform his current wife Zhuang Yexiang of the good news.
Watching Cheng Zuo rush away, Mao Wenlong smiled bitterly: "This Cheng Zuo is usually a stuffy gourd, but I didn't expect it to be a single-minded lover." ”
Hong Chengchou glanced at Mao Wenlong meaningfully, and said meaningfully: "The general soldier is actually similar to Chengzuo at this moment. ”
Mao Wenlong was stunned and said with a wry smile: "Are you praising or belittling?" ”
Hong Chengchou snorted twice, and then turned back to the topic: "Speaking of Li Zicheng's matter, now that he has nothing to use for us. At present, Sichuan is still under his control, when is the general army going to recover Sichuan as well? ”
At present, there is only one Liaodong left in the north, and the rest of the places have basically stabilized. If the expedition to Liaodong goes well, it can be recovered in less than two months. And then when he set his eyes on the south, Hong Chengchou didn't have any idea about Mao Wenlong's future plans, so he asked.
After pondering for a moment, Mao Wenlong shook his head and said, "It's too early to think about things in the south now. And the affairs in the south should be taken care of by Chongzhen, so we don't need to worry about it. ”
Hong Chengchou had a puzzled look on his face: "Why did the chief soldier say this?" ”
Mao Wenlong chuckled: "Although there is only one Liaodong left in the north, the military advisor must not forget that there is still an emperor Taiji outside Jiayu Pass. ”
Hong Chengchou suddenly came over, frowned and said: "I forgot about this Huang Taiji, but after the defeat of Huang Taiji last time, I guess there should be no more trouble in Daming in a short time." The general army had time to take the opportunity to calm down the chaos in the south, so that the Ming Dynasty would restore peace to the world. At that time, that Emperor Taiji would not dare to come to the realm easily. ”
Mao Wenlong sneered: "Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, don't expect the enemy to be afraid of any shock." Will there be fewer lessons from ancient times to the present day? ”
Hong Chengchou was choked by Mao Wenlong and was speechless for a moment, and after being silent for a long time, he asked again: "How does the chief soldier want to settle the tricky matter of Huang Taiji?" ”
Mao Wenlong said viciously: "If he doesn't come to fight, I'll beat him." ”
A simple sentence has already shown Mao Wenlong's determination to treat Huang Taiji, and in fact, he has been ready for a long time. After the Dongjiang Army recovered Liaodong, it was time to march into Tatar.
