Blood from Daming

Chapter 552 Meeting
This time Mao Wenlong was really angry. Regardless of the dissuasion of his generals, he drove Mao Chengzuo out of the living room, but Zuo Ming was sitting on pins and needles. Before his plan was implemented, he had already offended the eldest son of Dongjiang Town. Among the generals present here, there are still many who think like Mao Chengzuo.

At this time Mao Wenlong said: "General Zuo, Gouzi is ignorant and talking nonsense. Don't take it to heart. Our Dongjiang Army didn't spend half of our efforts on the capture of Niu Maozhai and Yizhou City. Those who have the face to take it, people want face." The tree needs bark, and Erlang, who wants to build a prisoner and capture our Dongjiang Town, will get it by himself, well, General Zuo, tell us about our joint action plan."

Zuo Ming originally wanted to go for a stroll around Liaoyang and Shenyang. Looking at the posture of Dongjiang Town, Zuo Ming's heart was half cold. Forget it, let's rely on Xue Jiajun's navy to act by the Yalu River, so Zuo Ming began to lower his profile. Said: "Mr. Mao, as long as your Dongjiang Town leads Jianlu to the designated place in Jiulian City as planned, you will eventually set up an explosive array to blow up the main force of Jianlu in one fell swoop. Jianlu on the west bank of Zhoucheng, then the east of Liaohe River, Gaizhou, Haizhou, and Dingliao are all fat in our mouths. If Huang Taiji reacts slower, it is possible to enter Liaoyang City."

Mao Wenlong laughed loudly and said: "It seems that Brother Zuo has a lot of appetite, okay, I will cooperate with you once, but I won't go to Liaoyang City. First, I was snatched up by General Polu last time. Come on, even if you get something, Huang Taiji's pursuers will probably not be able to get it away, so I'd better trouble Brother Zuo to help Dongjiang Town regain Tieshan and Xuanzhou."

Zuo Ming agreed: "Okay, as long as it is fighting the Tartars, Xue's army will never fall behind."

Mao Wenlong said: "General Zuo, when will your troops arrive?"

Zuo Ming said: "Last night, the Xue family's army has entered the predetermined position. The Jianlu will arrive near Jiulian City at the earliest this afternoon. The key is whether the Jianlu can be led into the ambush circle without noticing."

Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "The town has sent its adopted son Youde to lead a team to lure Jianlu. I'm not afraid that these Jianlu will not take the bait."

Zuo Ming said: "Since this is the case, the last general will join his subordinates. Mr. Mao can just mobilize soldiers and horses to beat the dog in the water."

Mao Wenlong said: "There is still no movement from the Jianlu in the north. General Zuo should go after lunch. There are people in this town who are very curious about Xue's army's explosive array. They must go to the place where Jiulian City set up an ambush to observe it."

Zuo Ming had no choice but to follow Mao Wenlong's wishes, and after drinking the wine arranged by Mao Wenlong, he quietly accompanied Mao Wenlong to a long and narrow grass field in the north of Jiulian City. Yes, there are many soldiers of the Xue family army in the control area who are still busy.

Mao Wenlong didn't seem to understand for a long time, so he asked Zuo Ming how to blow up Jianlu. Zuo Ming said to Mao Wenlong: "Mr. Zhu, as long as Jianlu enters this circle and ignites dozens of fuses, all the gunpowder will explode, and Jianlu will surely die and injure a lot, and the horses will also be frightened, and Jianlu will no longer be able to organize. When our two armies fight out, this group of Jianlu will be basically wiped out."

Not to mention that Mao Wenlong didn't quite believe Zuo Ming's statement, even the generals from Dongjiang town who followed him took it as a joke. This gunpowder is a good thing, but one guy can defeat thousands of Jianlu people. Isn't that nonsense? Gunpowder is so powerful, can everyone expect to earn military merits with one shot at a time?

However, Mao Wenlong's thinking is different from that of the generals. He believes that Zuo Ming's statement must be reasonable, but the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. Jianlu will really get into this explosive pack array foolishly, and there is also the effect of the explosion. Will it really be so good, but there is one thing that Mao Wenlong has taken a fancy to. Since he was severely hit by Jianlu at the beginning of the year, he is short of soldiers, food and morale, and is preparing to launch a big attack on Jianlu. I just wanted to sleep and someone handed me a pillow right away. As long as Mao Wenlong is willing to fight, Xue Jiajun doesn't care what you do.

Facing the doubts of the generals, Mao Wenlong said: "Facing the generals' doubts, war pays attention to the right time, place and people. As long as these three points are done well, there will be no success. Since General Zuo is so confident, I believe Xue Jiajun will not let us down in Dongjiang Town. Even if the gunpowder The effect is not satisfactory, Jianlu's war horses will definitely panic, as long as Jianlu's cavalry does not take shape, it will be the biggest fighter for our officers and soldiers in Dongjiang Town."

All the generals nodded their heads when they heard Mao Wenlong's words, so Mao Wenlong immediately sent someone to inform Mao Youde to lead Jianlu to Jiulian City. When Zuo Ming heard Mao Wenlong heard Mao Youde's name, he remembered that he had left Changtu The names of the three people that the island owner's mother Yan Sanniang showed her were Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming.

However, after remembering these three names, Mistress Yan burned the paper on the candlestick with the names of Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming. It was not the first time for Zuo Ming to see the red, black and colorless lists of Xue Jiajun's high-level people who were blacklisted by Xue Jiajun, but Zuo Ming was still uncomfortable with Mistress Yan's mysterious behavior.

However, this kind of list was first issued by the General Military Mansion of Datong, and it is a system created by the young master himself. No one knows what criteria the young master uses to determine these three types of people, and it is very rare to issue such a list. Zuo Ming got to know this time And the task of guarding against Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming, but Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming were not particularly important generals in the Dongjiang Army, which made Zuo Ming wonder if Mistress Yan's judgment was a bit biased.

Zuo Ming's dissatisfaction with Mistress Yan and his desire to find a stunning beauty in North Korea stemmed from the fact that Mistress Yan had too much power. The Liaodong Xue Family Army and Xue Zhuang system he belonged to had criticisms, and the mistress Wu supported by Xue Zhuang Hui, is a dou who cannot be supported. Now Second Uncle Xue and Fourth Uncle Xue are targeting another mistress, Ms. Chen. Under observation.

This time when I came to North Korea, because I was busy with the war, I was too busy to take care of Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming. Now I heard Mao Wenlong mention a name named Mao Youde, which reminded Zuo Ming of Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Geng Zhongming. The matter of Geng Zhongming and the others.

Zuo Ming asked Mao Wenlong: "Mr. Mao, the general heard that there is another man named Kong Youde in the Dongjiang Army. He has a different surname from this Mao Youde."

Unexpectedly, when Zuo Ming asked such a question, Mao Wenlong's face fell a little: "General Zuo, where did you hear that there is a man named Kong Youde in Dongjiang Town?"

Zuo Ming said with some surprise: "Mr. Mao, the last general heard about it in Hangzhou, Jiangnan. I didn't pay attention to it in Ping'an Road, North Korea."

Mao Wenlong asked: "General Zuo, how do Jiangnan people view Dongjiang Town and Kong Youde?"

Zuo Ming didn't expect his own words to lead Mao Wenlong to want to know Jiangnan's evaluation of him and Kong Youde, but Zuo Ming didn't know the opinions of Jiangnan gentry people on Mao Wenlong, so he had to search his guts to find out some opinions of Xue Jiajun's senior management on Mao Wenlong, pretending to be Jiangnan gentry The opinion of the people has been expressed.

Zuo Ming said: "Mr. Mao Town, Hangzhou scholars say that the Lord is the "Great Wall of the Sea". It is important, and he has made great achievements in the enemy's rear. In the future, he will have a seat in the High Heaven Pavilion. As for Kong Youde, someone mentioned his bravery. I just heard Mao Youde's name and thought it was familiar, so I asked."

Mao Wenlong roared: "You son of a bitch, it's unexpected that the reputation has spread to the south of the Ming Dynasty. General Zuo, Mao Youde is actually Kong Youde. This town adopted him as a foster son, so he changed his surname to Mao."

Zuo Ming said: "Congratulations to Zongzhen on the birth of a tiger cub."

The topic about Kong Youde passed away, but Kong Youde had a thorn in Mao Wenlong's heart. The most unfortunate thing is that Zuo Ming's words spread to the eldest son Mao Chengzuo, and Kong Youde just got an enemy for no reason. This is really a disaster at home. Come from heaven.

After Zuo Ming and Mao Wenlong confirmed that Jianlu did not act that day, Zuo Ming stayed in his team in Jiulian City, while Mao Wenlong returned to Zhenjiang City with his generals. In fact, the preparations of Xue Jiajun and Dongjiang Army were very hasty. When the day comes, it will be a great thing for Xue Jiajun and Dongjiang Army.

After Zuo Ming had an affair with Mao Wenlong's son Mao Chengzuo, he realized that his thoughts were a bit wishful thinking. Cooperating with a warlord like Mao Wenlong was really licking blood on the knife's edge, so Zuo Ming sent his men to notify the two naval ships to take After the battle on Liancheng started, the camera left Zhenjiang City and went upstream to join the main fleet.

Zuo Ming now has 2000 firearms and navy soldiers in his hands. After the battle, he quickly shrinks. He believes that Mao Wenlong will not be as impulsive as his son in the face of Jianlu, so that he can rely on the navy on the Yalu River. , In the battle with Jianlu, he can advance and retreat freely.

On the afternoon of May 29th, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zuo Ming received a report from the scouting horse that Mao Youde, the general of the Dongjiang Army, had already been defeated. Mao Wenlong was so ruthless that he asked Mao Youde to bring 1 horses. The elite, the others are either old, weak or remnant soldiers, or civilian husbands and refugees from Liaodong organized temporarily. Mao Youde used his elite to kill and injure more than a hundred Jianlu, stimulating Jianlu's desire to fight. As expected, all Jianlu When the army was under pressure, Mao Youde took the opportunity to be defeated. Once the Jianlu's pursuit relaxed, Mao Youde led his own headquarters to fight back and beheaded many Jianlu warriors. Jianlu abandoned the old, weak, sick and disabled of the Dongjiang Army, and they all followed Mao Youde's men all the way to Jiulian City.
