Chapter 646: Into the Tiger's Den

He Wenrui spread his hands when he heard this, and he looked very impatient, "Dad, according to this statement, do we have to kneel down to beg for a living from Nanjing?" ”

He Tengjiao frowned and shook his head, "The matter has come to this, how can it be so easy to end it if it is a conspiracy?" This trip first listened to what to say, and then explored the bottom of Nanjing.

"Fortunately, now that Chen Bing Jiangbei is being captured, Zhu Linmiao must have a hard time dealing with Huguang. We can only support the troops to protect ourselves first, and then bargain with them when the Nanjing side can't afford to drag it out, so that we can have a chance to survive......"

As he was talking, he could already hear the sound of the river rushing, and then Wan Dapeng, the chief soldier of the Huguang Water Division, sent someone to report, "Yu Dou Tang, Wan Daren has placed 47 warships of the Water Division to be fortified layer by layer nearby, and there is no difference. Nanjing only sent a total of seven warships, three large and four small, and the envoy is now coming to the center of the river to look at the heavenly stone in two boats, and the rest of the ships are three miles away. ”

He Tengjiao nodded slightly. The meeting place was on the river a few miles north of Wuchang City, and with such a careful arrangement by the sailors, he would not be able to be plotted by Nanjing.

He then abandoned his horse and changed boats, and came to the center of the river surrounded by three five or six hundred white-bottomed warships, changed to a small boat, and landed on the desert island with his eldest son and a group of guards.

This place is surrounded by rivers, and it is extremely difficult to set up an ambush, so it is more reassuring for both parties to meet here.

Tables, chairs, tea and other things had already been prepared on the deserted island in the middle of the river, and as soon as He Tengjiao sat down for a while, he saw a strange-looking warship coming rapidly in the east. The ship was tall, with a huge cast iron horn on its head, and it looked extremely fierce. More than a dozen huge paddles protruded from both sides, but there were two towering masts, but at this time there was no wind on the river, so the sails were not raised.

When the strange ship leaned against the Wangtian Stone, a middle-aged man, surrounded by dozens of guards, went to the island with a knot, bowed his hand to this side from afar, and said loudly: "But He Dutang is in front of him? ”

An official beside He Tengjiao immediately whispered: "It should be Li Guangchun, the waiter of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites." ”

He Tengjiao heard that he called himself "Governor" instead of "Rebel", and his heart was a little calm, it seems that Nanjing is planning to focus on Fu. He arched his hand to the east, "It's the lower official." Your Excellency is Li Shilang, right? ”

As he spoke, Li Guangchun had already walked to the table, "Lord He knows me best." He reached out and took a chair, but glanced at a young man beside him with his spare eyes, and saw that he had sat down, so he sat down with confidence, and continued, "Now that the enemy is being defeated, Your Excellency has received the emperor's favor in the world, but he does not want to serve the country, first support the army according to Chu to respect himself, and then he actually holds the Son of Heaven hostage, and is good at sealing the Taishi and the pillar of the country, and mobilizing Huguang soldiers and horses to confront the imperial court, which is no different from rebellion!" Aren't you afraid that you will be ruined and scolded by the world?! ”

"Where do you hear the rumors?" He Tengjiao looked quite calm, "The lower officials were ordered by the first emperor to guard Huguang, and they have never proclaimed themselves any pillars of the country. The mobilization of troops and horses is necessary for defense, but the imperial court has recently been in vain in favor of Zhongliang and gathered a large army to take the lives of officials, which is very chilling. ”

"Hmph, if you hadn't kidnapped the Son of Heaven into Chu, how could the imperial court raise troops?!"

"Master Li's words are wrong. Emperor Taizheng has never set foot in Huguang for half a step, and he is a villain who slanders me, and he doesn't want the court to listen to and believe it. ”

"Since Lord He has a clear conscience, then he will disperse the soldiers and horses of Chudi to prove his innocence. The court has its own judgment! ”

He Tengjiao said with a smile: "As soon as the soldiers and horses go, the next official will immediately be in a different place." Although the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, but if he gives his life like this, it seems that He Mou really rebelled. It is better to withdraw the imperial army first, and He Mou will go to the court again to defend his innocence. ”

"Wishful thinking! Let me tell you, now what you hold in your hands is only the King of Tang and not the Son of Heaven, and you have been abandoned by the world! If you are obsessed with it, the army will be killed, and you will all be powder! ”

"I said, whether it is the Son of Heaven or the King of Tang is not in Huguang, He is just the governor of the first emperor. If the imperial court raises unrighteous soldiers, it will not be tolerated by the soldiers of Chu. ”

"Since you have no objection, then you will restrain the Chu army according to the decree and enter the capital to face the saint!"

"The imperial army has not gone, how can He leave Chu?"

"I think you're anti-......"

"How can the imperial court harm the loyal ......?"

The young man next to Li Guangchun couldn't help frowning when he saw the two constantly arguing, and when he said this, he repeatedly told Li Guangchun to try his best to deter He Tengjiao, but in the end, this guy would only put some mouth cannons such as "ruined and ruined" and "abandoned by the world", and there would be no result if it went on like this until dark.

He coughed lightly, raised his hand to stop Li Shilang, and looked at He Tengjiao and said coldly: "Lord He, I only ask you one word." To die, or to live? ”

"Presumptuous!" He Wenrui took the case and roared angrily, "I have hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Chudi, just waiting for my father's order to crush your fifty or sixty thousand people in an instant!" Are you afraid of threats?! ”

"More than 100,000 people with low morale and poor training are just a rabble." The young man glanced at him, "Not to mention anything else, the white-pole army outside Wuchang City once killed the elite of Jianzhou under Haoge, let alone the weak Chu army?" Coupled with the Jiangxi Army, the Loyal Battalion, the New Western Army and other units, even if you have 200,000 or 300,000 horses, it is far from enough.

What's more, there are only more than 40,000 soldiers in Wuchang City, Hao Shaoqi and other troops are all blocked in Changsha, and when they arrive, Wuchang has already been broken for a long time.

"To tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that the imperial court didn't want the people of Huguang to suffer, how could you have the opportunity to speak here?"

"Hugh be arrogant!" He Wenrui turned to He Tengjiao and arched his hand, "Dad, in this case, we will go back to the camp to prepare the soldiers and horses, and let them know that it is powerful!" ”

He Tengjiao stared at the young man beside Li Guangchun, and saw that he was extraordinary, and he didn't care much about the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, so he couldn't help but be suspicious. He motioned for his son to be calm, and then bowed his hand to the young man, "Dare to ask Your Excellency?" ”

"You don't care who I am." The young man took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and motioned for the two guards to spread it out, "I'll give Lord He a big gift first." ”

"A big gift?"

The young man pointed to what looked like a map on the table, "This is the detailed rules for the deployment and march of the various armies of the imperial court, which can be regarded as a heavy gift, right?" ”

Li Guangchun on the side was so shocked that he almost jumped up, "Your Majesty...... After all, it is an important military aircraft, and it cannot be easily shown......"

The young man smiled and shook his head, "It's okay. He pointed to the banner with the character Li written on the map and said to He Tengjiao, "This is the 9,000 soldiers and horses of General Li Guoli of the loyal battalion, which is now stationed in Yuezhou City and is deployed along the Miluo River." If you look at the row of numbers next to it, from top to bottom are the number of heavy artillery, grain and grass, horses, firecrackers, and fine armor. ”

When He Tengjiao heard the words and looked at those numbers carefully, his heart couldn't help but jump eight doors, 30,000 stones, 1,900 horses, 3,800 branches, and 4,200 pairs. He has always been extremely harsh on the Loyal Battalion, where did Li Guo get so many weapons and grain and grass?!
