Mao Wenlong's cold drink immediately brought Chengzuo and Liu Guangzuo back to their senses, there was nothing to say, the two had been looking forward to such an early day. It was just too much surprise just now that caused me to be stunned.

"Yes, Commander!" With a plop, the two of them directly knelt on the ground and shouted.

After Mao Wenlong motioned for the two to get up, he hesitated and said: "The goal is there, but our current situation is not optimistic, and it is urgent to recruit troops." ”

Cheng Zuo frowned and said, "Chief soldier, at present, we are in short supply of grain and grass, and the grain in the farm will not be able to harvest until two months. Now we don't have much of the livestock left, and we can't afford to squander it like this. ”

Liu Guangzuo also pulled his face and echoed: "Yes, the production of the farm is completely unable to keep up with the pace of our expansion. Xuzhou is still unable to farm, once we start to recruit troops, grain will inevitably be a ditch that cannot be crossed. ”

Mao Wenlong immediately sneered: "Grain and grass are not difficult, as long as the war is together, we can completely feed the war with war." Have you forgotten how we started in Dongjiang Town? ”

A word woke up the person in the dream, Cheng Zuo and Liu Guangzuo suddenly opened their mouths, and laughed in unison: "I understand the chief soldier." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and drove the two away, asking them to go down immediately to arrange for the sergeants to leave tomorrow.

If you want to take the Guide Mansion as quickly as possible, you must not let the imperial court have any chance to react. In this way, it can be captured at the lowest cost!

Mao Wenlong's first target was set in Guide Mansion, which naturally had his considerations. Guide Mansion and Ye County are adjacent to each other, and only by taking Guide Mansion can it be used as a jump point to send troops to continue attacking other towns, while retreating can be defended to protect the safety of Ye County.

Early the next morning, Ye County, which had been quiet for a month, became lively again. The 10,000 Dongjiang troops left behind, under the leadership of Chengzuo and Liu Guangzuo, had already gathered outside the Dongcheng Gate early.

Mao Wenlong personally rode here to see him off, there was no extra nonsense, Mao Wenlong only told Chengzuo and Liu Guangzuo that they wanted them to capture Guide Mansion as quickly as possible. Then stationed down, build a defense, wait for the arrival of reinforcements from Xuzhou, and then make the next step.

10,000 Dongjiang Army, of which 2,000 cavalry battalions are currently the main force in the Dongjiang Army, this expedition, Mao Wenlong did not hesitate, and directly handed over all to Chengzuo and Liu Guangzuo.

The mighty army soon disappeared away and disappeared from Mao Wenlong's sight. Watching the billowing smoke and dust disappear into the sky, a trace of tension appeared in Mao Wenlong's heart.

Mao Wenlong hadn't experienced this feeling for a long time, except when he first arrived in Dongjiang Town, he was in a hurry to escape from Dongjiang Town and his ignorance of this world, which made him feel nervous.

Later, after slowly getting used to it, life went smoothly and I didn't feel nervous anymore. After all, he has a foundation for the general trend of history in his heart, so there is no need to be nervous.

However, the events known to history have repeatedly happened in advance, which made Mao Wenlong feel inappropriate, and the sense of urgency in his heart became more and more obvious.

The situation that seems to have calmed down for the time being is secretly containing a greater crisis. Mao Wenlong no longer dared to completely rely on the trend of history, he had to step up his pace, expand his power, and let himself and the Dongjiang Army grow up as soon as possible.

Chen Jisheng, who was stationed in Xuzhou, soon received orders from Mao Wenlong. Knowing that Mao Wenlong had sent troops to attack Guide Mansion, he was very moved. Helplessly, Mao Wenlong asked him to continue to stay in Xuzhou and always pay attention to the movements of the imperial army.

In accordance with Mao Wenlong's order, Xu Fuzuo quickly rushed to Guide Mansion with 20,000 Dongjiang troops to join Liu Guangzuo and Chengzuo.

Four days later, Chen Jisheng finally found out the life and death of King Chuang, and there was no accident, King Chuang had indeed been killed by Lu Xiangsheng. The fleeing death of his subordinates has been crushed.

At the same time, the Dongjiang Army also attacked Guidefu, and 30,000 troops were stationed in the city of Guide to prevent the imperial court from counterattacking.

In the Imperial City of Beijing, Chongzhen had just received news that Lu Xiangsheng had killed the thief, and he was happy. Later, he received an urgent report from the Guide Mansion in Henan, and when Chongzhen was discussing with the ministers whether to send troops to rescue him, the Guide Mansion had already fallen.

However, the ministers still couldn't negotiate a result at the moment, and they were still divided into two factions, one side advocated sending troops to fight. The other side chose to ignore it, as long as Mao Wenlong did not continue to expand, he would ignore it.

The ministers were divided into two factions and were at a stalemate, and Chongzhen was also very helpless, because he was worried about the situation of the Houjin army, and he couldn't make up his mind whether Mao Wenlong would send troops to fight.

After listening to the debates of the ministers for a whole day, Chongzhen dragged his tired body back to the imperial study in the middle of the night.

Wu Chengen is still loyally waiting by his side, since the Wei Party was destroyed, everyone in the palace is in danger. The eunuchs in the imperial city have also undergone a comprehensive baptism, and it can be said that anyone who has anything to do with the Wei Party, Chongzhen would rather kill the mistake than let it go.

Under such a premise, none of the eunuchs in the imperial city were spared, and under the suppression of Jinyiwei, the east and west factories almost disappeared directly.

But Wu Chengen was not implicated in this great crisis, but became a celebrity around Chongzhen in one fell swoop. is also the only trusted eunuch in front of Chongzhen!

"Today, the imperial court is in internal strife, external troubles, local forces are divided, and a huge civil and official group controls the government, and the entire empire can be described as internal and external troubles, and the wind and rain are in turmoil. I am diligent, thrifty, diligent, conscientious, and devote all my energy to fight against all forces......"

Chongzhen's tone was lonely, with a complicated look of unwillingness and distress on his face, he looked at Wu Chengen and continued: "It's a pity that I have always been alone fighting against them, and whenever I am alone, I always feel powerless. Especially recently, this feeling is becoming more and more obvious. ”

Wu Chengen was immediately taken aback, and then knelt down directly with an ordinary sound: "Your Majesty ......"

Chongzhen glared at Wu Chengen, and said dissatisfiedly: "Get up, I just feel sorry for you, don't make a fuss." ”

Wu Chengen got up as he said, but he still carefully observed Chongzhen's face, and when he was sure that there was indeed nothing wrong with Chongzhen, he was completely relieved: "Your Majesty, we can't say this frustrating thing." The old slave has seen that you have never slacked off since the day the emperor ascended the throne, and the Ming Dynasty is now much better than before, and the emperor must not lose confidence! ”

Chongzhen smiled rarely, and recalled: "Indeed, since I ascended the throne, I have taken the Wei Party to clean up the government, and although the ministers in the court still control the government. But my voice is already increasing, and although the prospects are good, unfortunately there is not much time left for me. ”
