Mao Wenlong's decision was to write a letter and send it to King Fu, and after the anxious King Fu read Mao Wenlong's reply, the whole person immediately withered.

Gao Jie and Huang Degong faced each other, and they really didn't understand that King Fu, who was fine just now, was suddenly decadent.

Gao Jie hesitated for a moment, stepped forward and asked, "King Fu, what response did Mao Wenlong give?" ”

King Fu's face was full of despair, and he weakly raised his hand to stuff the letter to Gao Jie to read for himself.

Gao Jie and Huang Defeng immediately gathered together and looked carefully. When the two learned that Mao Wenlong would not send troops to rescue Nanjing, but only sent 20,000 Dongjiang troops to rescue them and others, the expressions of the two glanced at King Fu just now.

Huang Degong scolded angrily: "Damn Mao Wenlong, he is simply a villain." ”

King Fu rolled his eyes and said weakly: "He is also benevolent, at least he didn't let us go, no matter what, he still sent 20,000 Dongjiang troops to rescue us, didn't he?" ”

Gao Jie patted Huang Degong on the shoulder, and after seeing that he had calmed down, he said to King Fu: "Why don't you ask King Fu to write another letter, and ask Mao Wenlong to send troops to rehabilitate Li Zicheng and recapture Nanjing." ”

King Fu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Send troops, in the current situation, if you stand in Mao Wenlong's perspective, will you send troops to rehabilitate Nanjing?" ”

Seeing that the two of them were speechless, King Fu continued to smile bitterly: "Now that Nanjing has been controlled by Li Zicheng, Mao Wenlong will send troops to rehabilitate, and it will definitely be a siege battle." There is not enough motive to support him to send troops, do you think Mao Wenlong is a fool, let his subordinates go to attack the city, and sacrifice in vain, just to get back a Nanjing for this king, do you think it is possible? ”

Gao Jie sighed lightly: "What King Fu said is extremely true, his subordinates are too wishful thinking. It's just that in this way, Nanjing fell into the hands of Li Zicheng, and we were caught between two sides in Huguang. Now there is no other way to retreat except to Mao Wenlong's Shaanxi, that is to say, we will ...... in the future."

King Fu said in despair: "One wrong step and one wrong step, but this king's mistake has become a hatred for eternity." ”

The two were worried about the future for a while, but Huang Degong did not admit defeat, and he yelled angrily: "King Fu, we haven't reached a dead end yet, why do we need to despise ourselves so much." Besides, I don't believe how powerful that Li Zicheng is, with our current strength and the assistance of 20,000 Dongjiang troops, can't we go back to Nanjing? ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, and after King Fu and Gao Jie glanced at each other, both sides saw the burning battle intent in each other's eyes. Indeed, Li Zicheng is not terrible, and this mistake was only caught off guard by Li Zicheng, which caused such a passive situation.

"Huang Degong said it well, a little Li Zicheng, why should we be afraid of him." King Fu suddenly rekindled hope.

"Yes, Nanjing is because of emptiness, so Li Zicheng will have a chance, and now our soldiers and horses have not lost anything, so we can fight it." Gao Jie's will also start to warm up.

The dark clouds cleared, the sun illuminated the land, and all three of them rose from their low mood, full of hope to regain Nanjing.

Half a month later, Chen Jisheng led 20,000 Dongjiang troops to join King Fu, and King Fu was even more overjoyed to see Chen Jisheng personally leading the army to come. He knows that Mao Wenlong is currently in the limelight with Chen Jisheng, and he is definitely a heavyweight general.

Mao Wenlong actually sent Chen Jisheng, which made King Fu full of hope for leading his troops back to Nanjing.

King Fu warmly entertained all the Dongjiang Army and Chen Jisheng, and in order to show his enthusiasm, he even surrendered his identity and began to call Chen Jisheng brothers.

Chen Jisheng's performance from beginning to end was lukewarm, neither enthusiastic response nor indifferent to King Fu, with a businesslike appearance, so that King Fu really couldn't guess what Chen Jisheng meant in his heart.

I don't know how many circles have been circulated, and King Fu has never been able to find out what Mao Wenlong means from Chen Jisheng. In desperation, he had no choice but to ask bluntly: "Brother Chen, I don't know if General Mao has explained to you this time?" ”

Chen Jisheng sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he said expressionlessly: "The commander's instructions to me are that I only need to protect the safety of King Fu, and as for other things, our Dongjiang Army will never get involved." ”

"This ......" King Fu's face immediately changed greatly, which was more than 10,000 miles away from what he had thought before.

Chen Jisheng said unhurriedly: "Also, the chief soldier asked me to bring a message to King Fu, I wonder if King Fu is interested in listening to it?" ”

King Fu was stunned and said, "What's the matter, it's okay for Brother Chen to say it directly." ”

Chen Jisheng's eyes patrolled King Fu's body for a moment, and then said word by word: "Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood!" ”

King Fu was stunned, he didn't understand what Mao Wenlong meant by bringing this to him for a while?

Chen Jisheng let out a sneer again in his heart, and then explained: "The meaning of the general soldier, I hope that King Fu will not be impulsive and retain his strength." It's best to retreat from Li Zicheng now, and when you have a grasp in the future, you can come to fight again. Don't act impulsively and expose your men to unnecessary sacrifices. ”

King Fu's face turned gloomy, and he asked coldly: "So, will General Mao help this king to participate in the war?" ”

Chen Jisheng didn't think about it, and said: "That's exactly what the general soldier meant. ”

King Fu was very unwilling, the hope that had just burned two days ago would have been completely destroyed, and he asked unwillingly: "Why?" Could it be that Mao Wenlong refuses to help the king even with this little favor? ”

Chen Jisheng said with a smile: "The prince's words are wrong, the general soldiers are concerned about the safety of King Fu, so they will quickly let us come to protect King Fu's safety." If King Fu feels that he doesn't like this, then I, Chen Jisheng, will immediately lead the troops back to restore my life. ”

King Fu's face turned blue for a while, and he wanted to promise Chen Jisheng to lead the army back, but he was afraid that he might really die here this time. The fact that Chen Jisheng stayed behind has also become a signal for him to show weakness to Mao Wenlong.

Obviously, if King Fu left Chen Jisheng and them to protect his safety, it would mean that he would become Mao Wenlong's vassal from now on.

Your own life is important, or this bit of face is important. King Fu obviously knew it, he found himself a manly husband who could bend and stretch, and then left Chen Jisheng with peace of mind.

The celebratory banquet soon dispersed, and King Fu, Huang Degong, and Gao Jie returned to the study to continue discussing.

"King Fu, this Mao Wenlong is too deceitful, and he clearly wants to coerce us to listen to him in the future." Gao Jie complained angrily.
