It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 912

This was a big gamble, and the stake was Heshen's life, but it wasn't Li Xing's trust.

If Li Xing cannot gain complete trust, then Jiangnan is not a place to stay for a long time.

Today, Li Xing said something, and He Shen can also relax and work hard in Jiangnan.

He left from the Splendid Palace and returned to his home. Within two days, a group of maids and servants in the abdomen were removed, and Li Xing did not send anyone over to reward them with gold and silver, and He Shen chose the people to serve.

In addition, the Zhu brothers were also assigned to Heshen's mansion to follow Heshen's instructions.

Li Xing took this to express his attitude. Up to now, He Shen dare not say that there are no monitoring eyes around him, but at least he has removed most of them.

In order to prove his innocence, He Shen wrote a memorial and took the initiative to choose not to intervene in the current war.

Then he waited for Li Xing's reply, and he waited for a day or two, but couldn't wait for a reply. Heshen still had some drumming in his heart, so what was Li Xing's plan?

On the third day, wait for an imperial decree, ordering Heshen to set off on the same day, to go to the front line to oversee the army, and be responsible for the logistics of food and grass.

He Shen never expected that Li Xing would reply to him like this. Instead of staying away from the battlefield as expected, he was closer to the front line.

After pondering for a moment, I also wanted to understand Li Xing's intention. Li Xing's attitude means that he completely trusts Heshen, and Heshen can act boldly.

No matter whether he pretended to be or not and bought people's hearts, Heshen felt a little grateful from the bottom of his heart.

In Cheng Dalei's place, he could not be completely trusted, and Li Xingzai might not think much of himself. But he did not expect that Li Xing would have such an open mind, and he would trust himself with the responsibility of food and grass.

Treat him with the courtesy of a state scholar, and repay it with a state scholar.

Heshen did not dare to delay for a moment, he brought the two brothers of the Zhu family, and accompanied a dozen guards by boat to the east, and arrived at the front-line camp in less than two days.

He rushed here without stopping, and before he could rest and rectify, he went to see the front-line marshal Hong.

"Sir He." Hong Lio was respectful and greeted He Shen with a disciple.

He Shen didn't ask for a big deal, and hurriedly returned the salute: "Mr. Hong is the commander here, and I am only responsible for supervising the food and grass. Mr. Hong is in charge of everything."

"Mr. He can come here, I am relieved. Mr. He has fought many big battles with Mr. Cheng's family. Mr. He is in charge of food and grass. Our army is even more powerful and will be able to defeat the enemy army."

In this regard, Heshen should not be too modest. Liangzhou can have today's achievements, no matter what, he has some credit. Now that the enemy is weak and I am strong, it is not difficult to defeat the enemy.

After the gossip was over, the two discussed the situation in front of them together. He Shen did not know anything about the battle situation on the front line, but he had never been to the front line in person, so he didn't know much about some things.

"At present, Li Xingzai has Zhongli, Longxi, and Luofeng three cities under his command. The three cities are horns of each other. If one city is attacked, the other two cities will inevitably be dispatched."

Heshen looked at the map in front of him, frowned and said, "So deploying the defense, the three cities are one, it is obviously from the hands of experts."

Hong nodded: "Li Xingzai does not know where to recruit a group of strange people, and there are many experts. Although the two armies have not fought a full-scale war, they have already fought several battles. The quality of the enemy's soldiers and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers are much stronger than us."

"It is rumored that Qi Jiguang has the reputation of being unparalleled in military training. It seems that it is not a vain name."

Hong sighed and said, "I know that some people in the court are talking about me not sending troops. It's not that I don't want to send troops, but the enemy is not as weak as we think. Li Xingzai swept away the thieves at sea and got a lot of gold and silver. , there is a force that subdued the East Sea King, and now there are at least 100,000 strong soldiers. If we force an attack, our army may not have a chance of winning."

He Shen was a little ashamed. He was not on the front line, and he didn't know that the front line was difficult. He really didn't know much about some things.

"What are your plans, Mr. Hong?"

"At the moment, we can only keep our troops in motion and limit the expansion of the forces in the East China Sea. In the next few days, I have a lot of worries, but there is still no quick way to win." After speaking, Hong paused: "But with Mr. He here, I can sit back and relax. Mr. He is a person who is used to fighting, and when he comes to Mr. He, there must be a way to defeat the enemy."

While speaking, his eyes swept across Heshen's face intentionally or unintentionally.

He Shen's heart moved, this is obviously a matter of me. Yangzhou city rumors and rumors, saying that Hong is afraid of fighting, where did this word come from. It's not from me and Shen. On the surface, they are polite, but there are swords and guns hidden in their words, and they want to take me into an army.

He Shen sensed a faint threat.

He smiled and said, "My responsibility is to be in charge of food and grass. It is my responsibility to lose food and grass. Of course, Marshal Hong is the master of other things, and I don't dare to say much about other things."

"Hey, it's a long way to talk with your lord. I have always admired your talent and learning, and you can relieve my worries. I should thank you for being right."

"Then, shall I babble a few words?"

"But it doesn't matter."

Heshen paused and pointed to the map in front of him: "Li Xingzai occupied Luofeng, Longxi, and Zhongli, and the masters deployed troops, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. If we fight on a single line, the three cities will be one, with two wings. Or be taken by the enemy. If you want to break the game, given the current situation, it is naturally not easy."

"May I ask Mr. He's plan?" When he said the last two words, Hong Liao used the accent.

"But the world is bigger than the south of the Yangtze River." He Shen swept his palm and was already outside the map: "North of the big river, the wild wild wolf ambitions are constantly expanding, and now they have reached Xuzhou and Yanzhou. Based on the current situation analysis, use It won't be long before Jiangbei can be unified."

Hong Li listened quietly.

"The princes and kings of Xuzhou and Yanzhou have already existed in name only. The city lords of various places are now too busy thinking of ways to survive." He Shen said slowly: "If you send a team to the north, contact the forces here and lead troops. attack..."

He Shen paused, raised his head and said, "Marshal Hong, should Luofeng City be in Jiangbei?"

"Luofeng City is the foundation of Li Xingzai. If we lead the princes of the north to attack Luofeng City, we will send troops here and fight on two fronts. Li Xingzai will definitely lose." Hong said dumbly.

He Shen nodded slowly.

Hong Liao suddenly raised his head and stared at He Shen intently. There was an incredible look in his eyes: Are all the people who came out of Toad Village so evil?

The unknown Lin Shaoyu led 100,000 soldiers and horses to break Chang'an, the playful prince Li Xingzai established himself in the East China Sea and became the situation of the three emperors approaching the country.

Even Hong Leo was a little curious, what kind of existence the Toad Village was, and the people who came out were more evil than each other.

Thinking that in the future, he might become the enemy of Toad Village, and Hong Lianxin couldn't be happy no matter what.
