As soon as Mao Xiang went out, he was pulled aside by Ma Shiying and Li Yong who was anxious.

"How is it? The prince didn't blame you, right?"

This is actually a lot of extravagance, and people are standing here well.

But the concerns in the words are also self-evident.

Mao Xiang was not good at being moved, and he said lightly: "Thank you for your concern. Thunder and rain are all in your thoughts. Xiang... has nothing to say."

Li Yong was naturally dissatisfied with Mao Xiang's answer and asked anxiously: "Have you accepted the advice?"

Mao Xiang did not answer, but turned his head and looked at Lu Jincai who was disdainful of him.

Then he stepped forward and bowed, "Today, Xiang will remember the kindness of General Lu Zhou Hu, and he will definitely be rewarded in the future."

When Lu Jincai heard this, he turned his face and said bluntly: "First, I dare not call Master Mao a general, Lu is just a escort under the prince. Secondly, Lu had no intention of protecting Master Mao, and he didn't have the ability to do so. In the end, the reason why Lu did not take Master Mao on the spot was that when Lu heard Master Mao persuade him to advance, Lu dared not say anything after he said that, that's all."

Listen, listen, such a rash man has been with Wu Zheng for a long time and his speech has become orderly and stern, which is really amazing.

It is said that there is a general of the coach, and this is true.

Mao Xiang bowed again, "No matter whether General Lu intends or not, Xiang will be rewarded for this kindness of the general."

"You're welcome." Lu Jincai bowed his face with his back, as if he had returned the gift.

Mao Xiang then turned around and answered Li Yong's question, "I don't know if the prince accepts advice or not... but one thing is certain. If the prince changes his itinerary tomorrow and returns to Hangzhou Prefecture urgently...that means that the prince has listened."

When Li Yong heard this, he was happy. Ma Shiying and Lu Jincai also looked at him.

This is actually just like Mao Xiang said, no one can give without seeking the slightest return, unless it is God.

Soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers.

Sacrifice your head and sprinkle your blood, not just to get a silver reward for your full meal.

Regardless of civil and military officials, they naturally hope to go further after the threat of survival on their own side is lifted. Then, only by pushing the master to a higher position can their promotion and promotion be more natural.

"The yellow robe is in the body" is what it means.

As for Mao Xiang's words about the emperor and the ministers of the emperor, it is definitely not absurd.

If Wu Zheng gives up fighting for the supreme position, then once the new king is supported, unless Wu Zheng can take away all the soldiers, some of the soldiers must be left under the new king's command.

In fact, it is impossible for the vassal kings to have such a huge army as the Northern Expedition Army after peace. No matter which dynasty or era, there is no such precedent.

But almost everyone knows what will happen next, and it is always like this. It has always been like this.

....

Wu Zheng kept staring at the dark sky outside the door for a long time, for a long time.

Whether it is false compassion or false compassion, it is true that there is no thought in the heart.

At least Wu Zheng has no intention of competing for the Zhu family until now.

Even Wu Zheng himself sneered in his heart for the sake of the welfare of the people of the world.

Not that great or noble, Wu Zheng never considered himself a gentleman.

But Wu Zheng did not intend to compete for it. There is actually only one reason, that is, Wu Zheng wanted to expel the Tartars as early as possible, protect the national strength, people's strength, and military strength as much as possible, and then fight it out. At least, the next three hundred years of China will no longer be allowed to go through a tragic process of being ravaged by the crowd.

A true hero is never in a vain. This may be Wu Zheng’s real idea.

But today, Mao Xiang's "crazy words" touched Wu Zheng's deepest worry. He was just an ordinary person, with all the emotions and negative emotions that ordinary people should have.

Wu Zheng had one of the biggest weaknesses, that is the people around him.

Whether it is said that he values ​​affection and friendship or pretends to be affectionate, whoever dares to move people around him can make Wu Zheng "crazy".

Wu Zheng got a little crazy, and a bunch of flames were beating in his heart.

Mao Xiang’s statement about “one emperor and another minister” made Wu Zheng fall into an absolutely negative mood. Yes, if you see the soldiers around you being persecuted, it would be better...!

....

This is a turning point.

Wu Zheng was persuaded by Mao Xiang, perhaps Mao Xiang just said what most of the people around Wu Zheng were thinking at this time.

But one thing is certain, no one around Wu Zheng dares to talk to Wu Zheng like this.

The myth of power, prestige and "invincible" make Wu Zheng rarely have such a bold person who can tell Wu Zheng that his slightly "dark" demands.

Although it is indeed a bit "dark", it still exists.

Existence is reasonable!

This is indeed a turning point.

Unfortunately, Wu Zheng didn't have time to burn the flames in his heart into a raging fire.

Because, on that night, two urgent news from Hangzhou Prefecture made Wu Zheng change his itinerary. He did not return to Hangzhou Prefecture as Mao Xiang predicted, but went south, passed through Guangde Prefecture, crossed Xia Wanchun's Ningguo Prefecture, and headed to Guangxin Prefecture.

The two news was that the Zheng family naval army and the French fleet had a squadron. In addition, the Guangxinwei of Li Guo was in a confrontation with the Daxi Army that invaded Huguang to the west of Pingxiang, east of Liling, and the border between Yuanzhou Prefecture and Changsha Prefecture.

The meaning of falling into a confrontation is very subtle. The confrontation between the two armies is very difficult to achieve when this order is difficult to convey.

Because the confrontation requires the common wish of both parties, simply put, unless both parties receive clear orders, they will fight first.

To form a confrontation, it must have been a fight.

Only when both sides feel that fighting is useless will a confrontation be formed without clear orders.

Wu Zheng may not care about Zheng Sen and the foreigners, but he cannot ignore Guangxinwei, who will get angry at any time.

....

Logically, the Guangxin Guard, which is located in Guangxin, Jiangxi, and Raozhou, cannot have any intersection with the Western Army.

This starts with Wu Zheng being trapped in Huai'an Prefecture.

The conscript order issued by the General's Office quickly expanded and expanded the 20,000 Guangxin Hai's 20,000 organization.

However, the Guangxinwei station is too far away and must guard the land and protect the territory, so it is naturally not easy to mobilize. Besides, Zhang Guowei and Xiong Rulin have no intention of mobilizing Guangxinwei to go north.

This caused the irritation of generals such as Li Guo and Gao Yigong.

Can you avoid being irritable?

Wu Zheng’s life and death are unpredictable. Whether it is life or death, it is very unfavorable for Guangxinwei.

The easiest way to resolve this disadvantage is to expand your territory.

In this way, whether it is Wu Zheng's death or the danger is turned into a barrage, Guangxinwei can have the territory to protect itself.

After secretly getting the approval of "Madam Zhongyi" Gao Guiying, Guangxinwei made an abnormal move.

Their goal is very simple, that is, to go west and cut off the Qing army in Jiangxi, divide the enemy into two, and do not take into account both the starting lineup, and then slowly swallow it.
