But embarrassment is embarrassment, words still have to be said, and scenes have to be done.

So Shen has always not changed his enthusiasm.

"Yu Tian, I haven't seen you for a few years, are you okay?"

"Thank you Shoufu for your concern, the lower official is still in good health, Shousuke, please tell the lower official about the current battle situation, the lower official came all the way and was very worried in his heart, how did the good situation become what it is now?"

Li Hualong spoke more bluntly, Shen always opened his mouth, not knowing where to start, or Liu Huangshang reacted quickly, and hurriedly said: "Li Gong, this matter is a long story, let's take it slowly, let's take a look at the current battle situation first!" ”

Li Hualong knew that there was something wrong with this matter, but for now, he chose to observe the battle situation.

"According to the informant, the Xiao thief rebels started in Burma, and the troops were divided into three routes, all the way to Yunnan, all the way to Guangxi and Guangdong, all the way to the north from Nanyang by boat, raided Ningbo Mansion, and then conquered Zhenjiang Mansion and Nanjing, which caught us off guard."

Li Hualong frowned tightly.

"How so? Xiao Thief Burma Town has a maximum of 30,000 soldiers, how can he divide his troops into three ways to carry out such a risky move? Are all his subordinates heavenly soldiers? Or is there a plan for him? ”

Liu Huangshang opened his mouth and said: "We don't know anything about Burma Town, but since Xiao Thief dares to divide his troops into three routes, then he should have more than 30,000 soldiers under his command, and there may be more soldiers and horses, as for where these soldiers and horses come from......

"None of that matters now! The important thing is that the situation is already very unfavorable! Nanjing fell, how could the imperial court save face? Zhenjiang Mansion has fallen, Jiangnan Cao grain will not come, what will we eat? ”

Xiao Daheng interrupted Liu Huangsheng's words.

Liu Huangshang looked at Xiao Daheng and nodded.

"That's true, let's just take matters into account! Li Gong, what do you think is the most critical point at the moment? ”

Li Hualongyi stretched out his hand and pointed to the location of Zhenjiang Mansion.

"If we don't get through the transportation and can't get food, we will be in chaos, and the rebellious army will sit back and enjoy the results, there is no doubt that at present, we must concentrate the main force to recapture Zhenjiang Mansion and open up the canal grain route."

Liu Huangshang said: "But at present, Zhenjiang Mansion is occupied by the rebels, and there are rebel sailors across the river, blocking the way for our army to go south, and the imperial court does not have enough sailors to fight against the rebels. ”

Li Hualong sneered: "There is no place to cross the surging river? Can the rebel sailors still block the entire river? As long as our troops are superior, we will set up suspicious troops in Yangzhou to drag the rebel naval division, and then choose another location to cross the river and take Nanjing and Zhenjiang Mansion directly, and we will definitely be able to go down with one drum! ”

Shen Zheng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Okay!" Yu Tian's strategy won my heart! There is no need to entangle with the rebel sailors on the river, this is the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, you can choose a random place to march, why do you need to attack the enemy's strengths with my shortcomings? ”

Liu Huangshang hesitated: "What we know, the rebels acted before me, and they may not know it." ”

"As long as the rebels have not yet moved, this plan is feasible, even if the rebels move, the soldiers will come to block, the water will come to cover the ground, and the fighters on the battlefield will change rapidly, how can I wait here to finish? You still have to go to the battlefield to know! ”

Li Hualong blocked Liu Huangsheng's worries, and looked at Shen Yi again: "How many soldiers and horses can Shoufu give me?" ”

"There are 50,000 soldiers in Jizhen and 10,000 soldiers in Beijing, and I can give you 60,000 soldiers to ensure that your logistics are safe."

Shen has always said so.

"How many men are there in the rebels?"

Shen Yi looked at Luo Sigong.

"The rebels are moving too fast, we have lost the opportunity, although we have sent people to investigate, but the specific number has not been clarified, only know that the thieves entrenched in Zhenjiang Mansion and Nanjing are not under 20,000, as for the main force of Xiao thieves, I don't know how many people."

"Why is the news so late?"

Li Hualong was very dissatisfied.

"Jiangnan has become a pot of porridge, Xiao Thief is moving too fast, we have lost the opportunity, although we are trying our best to make up for it, but Xiao Thief's side seems to be on guard, it has only been ten days, and six spies have lost contact."

Luo Sigong can only explain like this.

"Could it be that Xiao Thief still has his own brocade guard? Aren't you Jinyi Guards the best at gathering intelligence? Don't you even know what the minister eats and wears at home? Why don't you know anything when you need you now? ”

In front of Shen Yi, Li Hualong didn't think about saving face for anyone, so he directly scolded angrily, Shen's face was suddenly not good, Luo Sigong was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head not to look at Li Hualong.

Xiao Tycoon didn't see it well, so he hurriedly spoke out and diluted the mud.

"Li Gong, Li Gong, don't be angry, don't be angry, Xiao Thief's actions were beyond everyone's expectations, we lost the opportunity, it is not a simple matter to make up for the loss of the first hand now, Jin Yiwei has tried his best, but in Jiangnan, Jin Yiwei does not have many people, even the clansmen of Shoufu were caught by Xiao Thief, and the clan property was confiscated, it can be seen how arrogant Xiao Thief is!"

"What?!"

Li Hualong was taken aback, and no longer looked at Luo Sigong, but at Shen Yiyi.

Shen turned around and didn't face Li Hualong.

"Really?"

Li Hualong looked at Xiao Daheng.

"How can such a thing be false?"

Xiao Daheng said bitterly: "A few days ago, Xiao Thief deliberately released Shoufu's nephew, and said arrogant and rebellious words, Shoufu was very sad, but he couldn't do anything, Shoufu was more anxious than Li Gong!" ”

Li Hualong pursed his lips.

"It is so arrogant, a mere general, how dare to be so arrogant! Does he really think he's some kind of big guy?! ”

Li Hualong has always been unfriendly to military generals and only drives like a hunting dog, but now when he heard that Xiao Ruxun had done such a thing, he was immediately furious.

"When he does this kind of thing, he is simply cutting himself off from the world! Why do we have to work so hard? All it takes is an edict from the emperor calling for the thief, and everyone in the world will crusade against him together! ”

Liu Huangshang hurriedly said: "Having said that, the Xiao thief army is very strong, and there is no strong army in the local area that can fight against it, so what can I do?" ”

"Then it's up to me to win the first battle, as long as I defeat his soldiers, everyone in the world will crusade against him together! Shousuke, please allow me to meet Your Majesty! ”

Li Hualong looked at Shen Yi.

This is very normal, and it is normal for the imperial court to appoint generals to go on the expedition and let the emperor summon them, but at the moment, this is a little embarrassing.

"Duke Li, Your Majesty is sick and can't see the minister."

Liu Huangshang could only say this instead of Shen Yiyi.

"Sick?"

Li Hualong was stunned.

"Yes, Your Majesty is occasionally caught with a cold, and is currently recuperating in bed, so it is inconvenient to see the minister, and the first assistant is currently in charge of the government for the time being."

Liu Huangshang said a nonsense.

"At the moment of the great enemy, why is the Son of Heaven sick? Forget it, I'll go see the soldiers and horses first! ”

Liu Huangshang and Xiao Tycoon glanced at each other, Xiao Tycoon looked at Shen Yi again, so Xiao Tycoon stood up.

"Okay, I'll personally accompany Li Gong on the parade!"

Xiao Tycoon took the errand.

After Li Hualong left, Shen always said to Liu Huangshang with a serious expression: "Your Majesty's illness cannot be revealed, it is said to the outside world that it is occasionally infected with wind and cold, let the imperial doctor carefully stare at it, and you must not let Your Majesty have half a loss, and change all the internal servants around Your Majesty, and it is useless to persuade the monarch to be restrained at all!" ”

Liu Huangshang could only nod.

But there are a lot of complaints in my heart.

It is you Shen Ge Lao who sacrificed those women, and it is you Shen Ge Lao who wants His Majesty to indulge in women and not ask about the government, and now Your Majesty has fainted from excessive indulgence, but as a result, you Shen Ge Lao wants to ask those little chamberlains, which is really clear.

But how can he say that?

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and this feeling of being full of up and down to Liu Huangshang was like a broken oil paper umbrella full of loopholes, there were problems everywhere, and there was rain leakage everywhere, just like that, can Xiao Ruxun's rebellion really be pushed down?

Liu Huangshang sighed deeply.
