The soldiers wanted to go back, and the soldiers on duty naturally blocked them.

Some soldiers learned through family letters that the old lady of the family was sick, that the father accidentally broke his leg during the harvest, that the sister who married into someone else's family was not doing well, that the father and mother had no one to take care of, and that no one collected the grain in the fields, so how could they still stay in Fengzhou.

Seeing that the soldiers on duty were blocked, they directly broke in, and returned the knife soldiers, and saw blood.

By the time King Huai and the others arrived, one or two thousand people had already run.

There were even battalions, a thousand men in the battalion, all ran away.

Because the lieutenant in the battalion also received a letter from home, and the content of the letter was to persuade the lieutenant to hurry home, saying that his father and mother missed him.

Although the proportion of people who ran was not large among the tens of thousands of people in King Huai's army, the impact was too great.

The news of the letter has spread.

The Huai soldiers learned that Chen Mo did not take revenge on their families, but treated their families well, which made the soldiers who had already had the will to die and wanted to avenge their families feel worried again.

They didn't dare to work for King Huai anymore, after all, Chen Mo let their family go this time, but what about next time?

They just want to go back to serve their parents as soon as possible.

Therefore, for those Huai soldiers who have fled, their comrades will not regard them as deserters, but envy them, thinking that they can finally go back to reunite with their parents.

King Huai was angry, and fainted in a hurry.

Fifth, Fusheng's face is also ugly.

So many letters from Huaizhou appeared in the barracks unconsciously and spread on a large scale in a short period of time.

Obviously, the Huai army infiltrated a lot of Chen Jun's meticulous work.

However, at this time, the army did not think about how to clear Chen Jun's fine work and control the influence of the family letter, but began to fight for power.

That's right, it's a struggle for power.

Although King Huai only fainted, and he was not dead, but the matter of the family letter must be handled by someone, and it must be handled as soon as possible, and the matter will be dealt with an hour later, the greater the impact, and after King Huai fainted, no one can make a decision.

Someone suggested that Mrs. Hui should come.

But it was immediately opposed, saying that women could not be in politics.

So the people of the Li family stood up and said that they could let His Highness Chu Shou come forward.

said that when His Royal Highness was in Huaizhou City, the prince let him go to the army for training, and after the prince left, he handed over the guards to His Royal Highness, which is enough to show that His Royal Highness is very trusted by the prince and can take on this important task.

However, it was opposed by the Xiao and Gan families, and even the people of the Xiao family.

The reason given is also very simple, saying that His Highness has been in the rear and does not know what is going on in the army.

even directly uncovered Chu Shou's scars, saying that he wiped out the entire Guards and was captured by Chen Mo.

In the case of the Xiao and Gan families, the Xiao family was not optimistic about Chu Shou, so that there were far fewer people in the army who supported Chu Shou than those who opposed it.

Chu Ce is the confidant of King Huai, and when King Huai is in a coma, he will definitely not be able to support either side, otherwise it will be equivalent to a direct team of one side.

It will also make King Huai dissatisfied.

When the fifth floating life encountered this kind of thing, he also felt that it was tricky, and it was difficult to get involved, so he could only do it alone.

Fortunately, King Huai didn't stay in a coma for long and woke up.

Knowing that in the few hours that he was in a coma, he began to seize power internally, King Huai's nose was about to be crooked, he coughed violently, glanced at everyone, and shouted angrily: "This king is not dead yet, what do you want to do, split up?" ”

However, at this moment, King Huai also realized that if he was not there, wouldn't there be a big mess, so he had to set a person who was not there and could dominate the overall situation.

And this person has to be trusted enough by himself.

King Huai's eyes swept over Chu Ce and the Fifth Floating Life, but he was not in a hurry to make a decision now and take a look.

"This king has decided, follow Fusheng's advice, and General Chu Ce will lead 20,000 troops to aid Longyou." King Huai said in a deep voice.

Fifth Fusheng said: "This matter must be blocked from the news, it is best to find out the details before sending troops, and then go to Hexi into Longyou, so as not to let Chen Mo know in advance." ”

"Good." King Huai felt that preserving Jiangnan was the top priority, although the main road to Jiangnan had been blocked, and the grain from Jiangnan could not be transported to Fengzhou, but no matter what, Jiangnan could not fall into Chen Mo's hands.

Otherwise, Chen Mo really lacked nothing.

Wuguan.

Chen Mo really wanted to fight Jiangnan, and found Geng Songfu, Liu Ji, and a number of generals, including the three middle-grade martial artists named Song Shiming, Deng Tian, and Luo Hai.

Among them, Song Shiming is the fifth grade, and Deng Tian and Luohai are the sixth grade.

They are all from the scholar family, and they have their own families behind them.

There are no soldiers and horses of King Huai in Jiangnan, only local town soldiers.

The total number of soldiers in Jiangnan is only 20,000, after all, Jiangnan is located in the south, and it is the center of gravity of the Great Song Dynasty, and others can't fight here, so there is no need for many people to garrison.

These town soldiers, even in the seventh year of Xuanhe, obeyed the orders of the imperial court, but with the outbreak of the Son of Heaven's blood book incident, after King Huai sent troops to Qin Queen, these town soldiers were out of the control of the imperial court, because the Xiao family through the family's influence in Jiangnan, coupled with the help of King Huai, put these town soldiers in private hands.

Later, in order to help King Huai, the Xiao family asked Xiao Chongrong to take 10,000 soldiers out of Jiangnan.

It's just that the Xiao family never expected that Xiao Chongrong would be killed by Lu Sheng.

As soon as Xiao Chongren died, these soldiers did not go back to Jiangnan and were received by King Huai.

In other words, at present, Jiangnan does not even have 10,000 defenders.

And this was what Liu Ji told Chen Mo.

Liu Ji had followed King Huai for so long, and this matter was not a secret in King Huai's army at that time.

The current Jiangnan is equivalent to being in Chen Mo's pocket, and there are not many defenders, so isn't it hand-to-hand?

If you don't take it, Heaven will blame you.

Not to mention, Princess Huai is still in his hands, and he can use it when it is critical.

In the end, it was decided to attack Jiangnan after the beginning of spring next year.

The reason why I have to wait until next year is because it is now mid-September, and it takes time for the army to rest and prepare for war, this is not Linzhou after all, Chen Mo is not particularly familiar with it for the time being, and after these preparations, I am afraid that it will be winter.

Winter is not suitable for combat.

In addition, the non-commissioned officers in his army have not seen their families for a long time, and it is time to give them a vacation.

……

It's night.

Chen Mo found Xiao Yunxi.

Xiao Yunxi and her children moved out of the mansion where they were imprisoned and lived in the same mansion with Chen Mo and Chu Juan.

As for his current relationship with her, Chen Mo did not hide it from Chu Juan, and told the other party directly.

Although Chu Juan didn't say anything on the surface, she was quite surprised in her heart.

After all, in her heart, Xiao Yunxi is the kind of noble and undesecrated, but now she has to commit herself to others.

This made Chu Juan's heart balance all at once.
