Mao Wenlong and Li Zicheng actually turned enemies into friends, and they also joined forces to prepare to attack Shanxi, and the sword of the army pointed directly at the Beijing division. Chongzhen regretted it now, and in addition to blaming himself in his heart, he had to swallow this bitter fruit.

In a panic, he didn't wait to find out the truth, and directly began to frequently dispatch troops and rushed to Shanxi to assist in the defense. In the end, he directly sent out all the 30,000 defenders who were originally guarding the Beijing Division.

For a time, it led to the emptiness of the Beijing division, and if someone bypassed Shanxi and took the Beijing division directly, then Chongzhen would be in danger. And there is still the uncertain factor of Huang Taiji, if he learns about the situation of Jingshi, he will definitely not let go of such an opportunity.

Mao Wenlong didn't expect that he was just going to scare Chongzhen, but he didn't expect Chongzhen to be so intimidating, and a series of reactions made Mao Wenlong shake his head.

and Li Zicheng's side, this guy actually saw that it was profitable, so he simply did it with a real knife. Killing officials and grabbing grain around Pingyang Mansion in Shanxi Province seemed to have gained a lot, and after tasting the sweetness, he immediately sent another 20,000 troops over.

This made Chongzhen jump in a hurry, and he completely believed that Li Zicheng and Mao Wenlong were real.

Hong Chengchou looked at Mao Wenlong and said with an evil smile: "Look, now that the situation is completely out of control, do you have a remedy?" ”

Mao Wenlong smiled awkwardly, but said indifferently: "What is the remedy?" Why remedy, at most our army is still holding on without fighting. As long as there is no war in Henan, it doesn't matter what happens elsewhere. ”

Mao Wenlong's words made Hong Chengchou speechless on the spot, what Mao Wenlong said was not a scoundrel, but it was true. As long as the war does not burn into Henan, it will not affect the grain here. Mao Wenlong's side can watch the fire from the other side and ignore anything.

However, Hong Chengchou still reminded worriedly: "Don't forget, we and Li Zicheng have never been all the way, if Li Zicheng is lucky to take Shanxi this time." His power will inevitably rise sharply, and if he is attacked by him again, then it will still be us who will face him in the end. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and admitted: "Your concerns are entirely possible, but this does not prevent us from continuing to watch the fire from the other side. If Li Zicheng really has any hope of capturing Jingshi, maybe I can help him. ”

"Why?" Hong Chengchou was suddenly confused.

"It's simple."

Mao Wenlong said in a condensed voice: "Whoever occupies the Jingshi will have to face the threat of Houjin. The imperial court is now being dragged by the army of Tartars to deal with us, which is also what I have always admired Chongzhen. No matter what the Ming Dynasty will become in the end, at least Chongzhen is a respectable emperor in terms of resisting foreign enemies. ”

Hong Chengchou was silent, and Mao Wenlong's words went to his heart. Infighting is like a fight in a big family, and in the end, no matter who wins or loses, it is always a family. But foreign enemies are different, once the foreign enemy invades successfully, it will be the destruction of the entire big family, as a member of this big family, of course, I don't want to see such a result.

The point of view, Hong Chengchou and Mao Wenlong are the same at the moment, but Hong Chengchou has other concerns, and his ass decides his position. Now he is completely on Mao Wenlong's side, so as much as possible, all aspects of Mao Wenlong's side must be taken into account.

"But don't forget, if Li Zicheng gains power, he will definitely attack us in Henan. And whether he will resist foreign enemies like the imperial court, we still don't know yet, right? ”

Hong Chengchou understands very well that Chongzhen, the emperor, has his responsibilities, and since Zhu Di inherited the throne, he moved the capital to Beiping to defend against foreign enemies. The Son of Heaven guards the country and leads by example, and as the emperor, he has this consciousness and responsibility.

But what is Li Zicheng talking about? Isn't it just a mud leg who rises up to resist? To put it mildly, he is nothing, so Hong Chengchou is worried that Li Zicheng does not have the determination and consciousness to resist foreign enemies.

Hong Chengchou's words really reminded Mao Wenlong, after all, the trend of history has proved that Li Zicheng does not have the ability to resist foreign enemies. At least not as determined as the imperial court.

"This really has to be considered, although the imperial court is now full of holes, it can still defend itself well against foreign enemies. And Li Zicheng really doesn't have this ability, either we can withdraw our troops now and let the army be stationed in the area of Kaifeng City, and don't get involved. After some careful consideration, Mao Wenlong made a decision.

"That's very good." Hong Chengchou's expression relaxed and nodded in agreement.

Now is a critical period for Henan's steady development, except that it is not appropriate to start a war. Mao Wenlong doesn't want to face Houjin now, as long as Chongzhen does not evacuate the Beijing Division, and he guards the country on his behalf, Mao Wenlong can develop in the back with peace of mind.

After making up his mind, Mao Wenlong immediately gave Chen Jisheng an order to withdraw the army to Kaifeng City, and only needed to defend and not fight.

Although Chen Jisheng was very puzzled, he did not dare not comply, and according to Mao Wenlong's order, he transferred the army back to the outskirts of Kaifeng City and stationed it.

After Chongzhen got the news, he was stunned for a long time, and he asked Wu Chengen suspiciously: "What the hell is Mao Wenlong doing?" ”

Wu Chengen didn't know what Mao Wenlong was doing, but he had to reply to Chongzhen, so he guessed: "Your Majesty, could this Mao Wenlong not be the real enemy with that Li Zicheng that we have seen." ”

Chongzhen frowned: "You mean, the two of them didn't really turn enemies into friends. ”

Wu Chengen suddenly smiled and said: "It should indeed be like this, the emperor might as well think about it, now Li Zicheng has sent another 20,000 soldiers and horses into Shanxi, but Mao Wenlong has withdrawn his troops at this critical moment." It shows that he is cheating Li Zicheng, but ......"

"But what? If you have something to say, what are you doing? Chongzhen complained dislikedly.

"However, we can't make any hasty decisions easily, according to the slaves, we still need to make sure that Mao Wenlong really didn't use force with us. Only then can we take the opportunity to swallow Li Zicheng's army. Wu Chengen carefully said his advice.

Chongzhen nodded frequently when he heard this: "Yes, this is how things should be done." ”

After a pause, Chongzhen instructed Wu Chengen: "You now send someone in Shanxi to keep an eye on Mao Wenlong's movements at all times, and come to report as soon as there is any trouble." As for Li Zicheng's side, I will definitely not let him go, anyway, now the army has gathered in Shanxi. This time, I want to make Li Zicheng unable to eat and walk around. ”

Wu Chengen didn't dare to say more, and immediately went down to do things according to Chongzhen's orders.

And Li Zicheng will be so anxious that he will scold Mao Wenlong, his situation is already quite bad!
