Chapter 823
But embarrassment is embarrassment, words still have to be said, and scenes have to be done.

So Shen never changed his enthusiasm.

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

"Thank you, Chief Assistant, for your concern. Xiaguan is still in good health. Chief Assistant, please tell Xiaguan the current situation of the battle. Xiaguan is very worried all the way here. How did the good situation become what it is now?"

Li Hualong spoke more straightforwardly, Shen Yiguan opened his mouth, not knowing where to start, but Liu Huangshang reacted quickly and said quickly: "Li Gong, this matter is a long story, let's take it slowly, first of all Just look at the current situation!"

Li Hualong knew that this matter was tricky, but right now, he chose to observe the battle situation.

"According to the informant, the Xiao thief's rebel army started in Burma and divided into three groups, going all the way to Yunnan, all the way to Guangxi and Guangdong, all the way to the north by boat from Nanyang, raided Ningbo Prefecture, and then conquered Zhenjiang Prefecture and Nanjing, It caught us off guard."

Li Hualong frowned tightly.

"How could this happen? Thieves Xiao Burma has a maximum of [-] soldiers in Burma Town. How can he divide his [-] soldiers into three groups to carry out such a risky move? Are all his soldiers all heavenly soldiers and generals? Or is there any support for him? "

Liu Huangshang said: "I don't know anything about Burma Town, but since Thief Xiao dared to divide his troops into three groups, then he should have more than [-] soldiers under his command, and there may be more soldiers and horses. As for where these soldiers and horses came from ..."

"These are not important now! The important thing is that the situation is already very unfavorable! Nanjing has fallen, and the imperial court has no face? Zhenjiang Mansion has fallen, and the grain from the south of the Yangtze River will not come. What shall we eat?"

Daheng Xiao interrupted Liu Huangshang.

Liu Huangshang looked at Daheng Xiao and nodded.

"That's true, let's discuss the facts! Li Gong, what do you think is the most critical point right now?"

Li Hualong pointed to the location of Zhenjiang Mansion.

"If we don't get through the water transportation, we won't be able to get food. We will mess ourselves up, and the rebellious army will enjoy the benefits. There is no doubt that we must concentrate our main force to take back Zhenjiang Mansion and open up the canal grain road."

Liu Huangshang opened his mouth and said: "But now Zhenjiang Mansion is occupied by the rebels, there are rebel sailors across the river, blocking our army's way to the south, and the imperial court does not have enough sailors to fight against the rebel sailors." division."

Li Hualong sneered and said, "There is no place to cross the surging river? Can the rebel navy block the entire river? As long as I have the upper hand, I will set up suspicious soldiers in Yangzhou to hold the rebel navy back, and then Choose another place to cross the river, and go directly to Nanjing and Zhenjiang Mansion, and you will definitely be able to go down with one drum!"

Shen Yiguan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Okay! Yu Tian's strategy is very popular with me! There is no need to entangle with the rebel navy on the river, this is the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, just choose any place to march, why bother My shortcomings attack the enemy's strengths?"

Liu Huangshang hesitated and said, "What we know, the rebels acted before me, so they might not know."

"As long as the rebels haven't acted, this plan is feasible. Even if the rebels act, soldiers will come to block them, water will come to cover them, and the fighters on the battlefield are changing rapidly. How can I wait here to finish talking? I still have to go to the battlefield. Know!"

Li Hualong blocked Liu Huangshang's worries back, and then looked at Shen Yiguan: "How many soldiers can the chief assistant give me?"

"Jizhen has [-] soldiers, and the Beijing camp has [-] soldiers. I can give you [-] soldiers to protect your logistics."

Shen always said so.

"How many people are there in the rebel army?"

Shen Yiguan looked at Luo Sigong.

"The rebel army moved too fast, and I lost the opportunity. Although I have sent people to investigate, the exact number has not been found out. I only know that the thieves entrenched in Zhenjiang Mansion and Nanjing are not under [-]. As for the main force of the Xiao thieves I don't know how many there are."

"Why is the news so late?"

Li Hualong was very dissatisfied.

"The south of the Yangtze River is in chaos. Xiao Bandit moved too fast. We lost the opportunity. Although we are doing our best to make up for it now, Xiao Bandit seems to be prepared. It has only been a dozen days, and six spies have lost contact. "

Luo Sigong could only explain it like this.

"Could it be that Thief Xiao still has his own Jinyiwei? Aren't you Jinyiwei the best at collecting information? Don't you even know what to eat and wear at the minister's house? Why don't you know anything when you are needed now?"

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

Xiao Daheng didn't like it when he saw it, so he quickly made peace.

"Li Gong, Li Gong, don't be angry, don't be angry. Xiao thief's actions are beyond everyone's expectations. We have lost the opportunity. Now it is not easy to make up for the lost initiative. Jin Yiwei has done his best, but in Jiangnan , Jin Yiwei doesn’t have many people, even the clansmen of Shoufu were captured by the Xiao thief, and the family property was confiscated, which shows how arrogant the Xiao thief is!”

"what?!"

Li Hualong was taken aback, he no longer looked at Luo Sigong, but looked at Shen Yiguan.

Shen Yiguan turned around not facing Li Hualong.

"really?"

Li Hualong looked at Daheng Xiao.

"How can this kind of thing be false?"

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

Li Hualong pursed his lips.

"It's so arrogant, how dare a mere general dare to be so arrogant! Does he really think that he is a big shot?!"

Li Hualong had always been unfriendly to generals, and only treated them like hunting dogs. Now that he heard that Xiao Ruxun had done such a thing, he was instantly furious.

"He did this kind of thing, he is cutting himself off from the world! Why do we need to work so hard? All we need is an edict from the emperor calling for the thief, and everyone in the world will attack him together!"

Liu Huangshang hurriedly said: "Although that's the case, Xiao Bandit's military strength is very strong, and there is no strong army in the local area to fight against him, so what can we do?"

"Then let me win the first battle. As long as he is defeated, everyone in the world will attack him! Shoufu, please allow me to meet His Majesty!"

Li Hualong looked at Shen Yiguan.

This is very normal. It is also normal for the imperial court to appoint a general to go out and ask the emperor to summon him. But right now, this is a bit embarrassing.

"Li Gong, Your Majesty is ill and cannot see the minister."

Liu Huangshang could only say this on behalf of Shen Yiguan.

"sick?"

Li Hualong was taken aback.

"Yes, His Majesty caught the wind and cold occasionally, and is resting in bed right now. It is inconvenient to see the ministers. At present, the chief assistant is in charge of the government affairs."

Liu Huangshang bit the bullet and said a nonsense.

"The enemy is in front, why is the emperor sick? Forget it, let me go and see the soldiers and horses first!"

Liu Huangshang and Xiao Daheng looked at each other, and Xiao Daheng looked at Shen Yiguan again, so Xiao Daheng stood up.

"Okay, I will personally accompany Mr. Li in the military parade!"

Xiao Daheng took over the errand.

After Li Hualong left, Shen Yiguan said to Liu Huangshang with a serious expression: "Your Majesty's condition must not be disclosed. He said that he had contracted the wind and cold. Let the imperial doctor watch carefully. You must not let your majesty lose even half of it. All the servants around me have been changed, and they don't know how to advise the emperor to exercise restraint, it's just useless!"

Liu Huangshang could only nod.

But there are a lot of complaints in my heart.

It was you, Mr. Shen Ge, who offered those women, and it was you, Mr. Shen Ge, who wanted His Majesty to indulge in female sex and not care about government affairs. Now His Majesty passed out from excessive indulgence, but you, Mr. Shen Ge, wanted to blame those little servants. Know everything.

But how can he say it?
The house leak happened to rain all night, and Liu Huangshang felt like a broken oil-paper umbrella full of loopholes. There were problems everywhere, and rain leaked everywhere. Just like this, Xiao Ruxun's rebellion could really be brought to an end. Press down?
Liu Huangshang sighed deeply.
