Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

"No one forced me, I took the initiative to report and resigned to Beijing."

When things got messy, Mao Wenlong suddenly made a sound, and the yelling sound also stopped abruptly.

"Marshal, why, it's so strange, why did you run to the capital all of a sudden? Now that you're gone, what will we brothers do?"

"Why, without this handsome, you can't live?"

Mao Wenlong glanced at the general who spoke, and said something angrily.

"Okay, stop talking."

Immediately afterwards, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but sighed, and then said: "Duke Qin is now leading his troops back to Beijing, and the situation has basically stabilized. This great Ming cannot perish!"

Speaking of this, Mao Wenlong also looked at the warships docked at the Zhouchuan Wharf in front of him. He vaguely remembered that all the warships at the Pidao Wharf used to fly his Mao Wenlong's banner, but now, looking around, Denglai Governor Lu The banner has already occupied the majority.

And this is only part of it, in the Denglai navy camp, above the Bohai Sea, in the Jiangnan land...

Denglai Navy, the general trend has come!

"Now that the Denglai Navy has achieved great momentum, the lifeblood of our Dongjiang River has been completely pinched..."

"Now Duke Qin is being dragged back. When he frees up his hands, Duke Qin will never allow Dongjiang to become a whole. If he doesn't know the situation now, the knife will fall..."

"Taking advantage of the present, we still have some use. If we retreat decently, we will end well."

"Going to the capital now, if you think about it, Duke Qin will not treat us badly. Maybe, in the capital, I can give you a little support."

"You also put away those small thoughts, Daming can't perish, it's useless to think too much, maybe it will only increase the disaster..."

"It's better to think about how to make more military exploits. Go up a little bit. Although Qin Guogong acts cruelly, he is quite tolerant towards those who have meritorious deeds..."

Speaking of this, Mao Wenlong turned around slowly, and looked around at the important military town that he founded by himself, and the foundation he created bit by bit...

From scratch, from more than a hundred people to tens of thousands of troops, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians...

Scenes of the past, like yesterday, flashed in my mind.

The eye sockets were also suddenly moist.

Times make heroes...

But now, there is no current situation that belongs to him. Even with the existence of the Duke of Qin, he can't see any hope of reversal in the future...

There is no current situation, no hope, and it will undoubtedly be a dismal end if we continue to hold on.

He has only this choice...

"For the sake of my commander's retreat, Lu Xiangsheng won't make things difficult for you. You should cooperate with Lu Xiangsheng and be a general with peace of mind. Maybe one day...we can be ministers of the same court..."

"Take care!"

Sigh again, the words are full of regret and helplessness.

Mao Wenlong waved his hand, as if he was saying goodbye to the generals under his command, and he seemed to be saying goodbye to the foundation he created...

Suddenly, Mao Wenlong's tall and straight figure seemed to have collapsed a lot.

Step by step, under the watchful eyes of the Dongjiang generals, he stepped onto the warship sent by Governor Denglai.

Immediately, the warship sailed, and this marshal, who single-handedly founded Dongjiang's foundation, also slowly disappeared from the sight of Dongjiang's generals.

At this time, the flagship belonging to the governor of Denglai was also slowly sailing into the boat pier of Phi Island from the middle of the sea, just like the alternation of two eras.

At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Denglai who has jurisdiction over Dongjiang Town in legal terms, also set foot on the hinterland of Dongjiang, on Pi Island for the first time!

"He who understands current affairs is a brilliant man, a wise man!"

Standing on the wooden bridge of the wharf, Lu Xiangsheng watched the warship carrying Mao Wenlong away, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Many things are unimaginable. For example, he, a cross-river dragon, has been the governor of Denglai for so long, but he has not had the slightest conflict with Mao Wenlong, a local snake.

Whether it's cooperating or obeying orders, Mao Wenlong is extremely comfortable, and even if he wants to suppress, he can't find an excuse.

If he hadn't taken advantage of the innate legal principle, directly grasped Dongjiang's lifeline, and Qin Gong's deterrence, he felt that he might not be able to fight against Mao Wenlong.

Similarly, Mao Wenlong's sudden resignation and going to Beijing this time was also something he never expected.

But when I think about it carefully, I have to admire Mao Wenlong's decisiveness!

The current situation, saying that the situation is settled, can also be viewed in this way, and there is nothing wrong with saying that the outcome is undecided.

But no matter what, the world is still in chaos.

In such a situation, placing a heavy bet is tantamount to a big gamble, but the possibility of winning the gamble is very high.

Besides, giving charcoal in the middle of the snow is better than icing on the cake!

From scratch, he built a town bit by bit, and the frontier commander with great military exploits, under such a situation, was able to give up everything and cooperate with the imperial court's reorganization and restructuring.

Those who inherit the positions of their parents and enjoy the emperor's favor for generations, what reason and excuse do they not cooperate with the imperial court's reorganization and restructuring?

"Able to bend and stretch, decisive and resolute, he is truly a hero!"

As his thoughts flowed, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but feel a little rejoicing. Fortunately, Dongjiang Town is inherently deficient in being alone in the belly of overseas enemies. Otherwise, Dongjiang's troubles would probably be no less serious than Liao Town!

Where can it be solved so easily as it is now!

"This person has to beware!"

Immediately, Lu Xiangsheng was full of fear in his heart.

This kind of person should put a rein around his neck at any time, otherwise if he is a little careless, he might just let the fish jump into the sea.

But after thinking about it, when he arrived in the capital, and under Duke Qin's subordinates, Mao Wenlong, even if he was a giant dragon, would have to be obedient.

It's unnecessary for him to worry about these things. Right now, Dongjiang is the most important thing.

Dongjiang reformed and merged with Denglai into one, so the power exerted is not one plus one equals two.

However, how to change, how to combine the two into one, even if Dongjiang actively cooperates, among them, it may not be so easy to completely integrate...

As his thoughts flowed, Lu Xiangsheng also took a step, surrounded by the generals, walked across the wooden bridge, and in the true sense set foot on this skin island belonging to the hinterland of the Dongjiang River.

……

……

Chapter 316 Unstoppable, let it retreat!

Some people are happy, others are worried.

Since the news of Duke Qin's return to the capital, the entire Zhili region was filled with joy.

The brilliance created by the invincibility of the South and North Wars is like a needle that fixes the sea. Before people arrive, just the news will give people endless confidence.

The same is true for the generals stationed at Zijing Pass.

In fact, today's generals of the Ming Dynasty, or in other words, the army plates controlled by Li Xiu are all expanded from the former Yongwei Battalion.

Such a deformed expansion has created a huge military interest group called Yongwei Xungui, and at the same time, it has also allowed Li Xiu to control the army and his prestige in the army has always been at its peak.

In this way, it is conceivable how much this news will affect the morale of the defenders of Zijingguan.

But for Monan Mongolia, this news is undoubtedly a big bad news.

He was encouraged to knock on the edge of Daming, because Qin Guogong was deeply involved in civil strife, and the opportunity was bestowed by God.

But now, Shaanxi is in chaos, and they are returning to the capital, but they are still staying under the Bauhinia Pass.

It seems that there is only a few feet away from the capital of Ming Dynasty, but this hurdle cannot be passed, and everything is useless.

Moreover, in the case that Qin Guogong has returned to the army, even if he breaks through the Bauhinia Pass, it is nothing more than a repeat of the battle where the Jin soldiers came to the capital.

As for who will win the game in the end, for the Monan Mongolian tribes, it seems to be something that some dare not think about.

Thinking about it for a while awakened the fear deep in his memory.

As the leaders of a branch, they naturally knew that although they seemed to be pushing forward, in fact, it was only because of Daming, or in other words, the military strength of the Duke of Qin was restrained.

It is also obvious what kind of scene it will be once you free your hands.

Now, returning to Beijing as a teacher has undoubtedly freed up his hands.

If we continue to fight, what we have to face is the Qin Guogong who made a free hand...

In this way, how to make a choice seems to be a very clear time.

In September of the first year of Jingwu, the Monan Mongolian army, which had been fighting fiercely for more than half a month at the Zijing Pass, also suddenly stopped its fierce offensive.

The main force of each department has not been moved, but one department has been dispatched frequently, plundering the territory of Ming Dynasty outside the Zijing Pass, doing things that Mongolia has always done when knocking on the border.

That is... looting!

"Bastard! It should be killed!"

Above the Bauhinia Pass, Xu Feng's face turned ashen when he heard the report that Yebu received, it was already extremely ugly.

On the land of Ming Dynasty, on the territory governed by the three governors, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of crimes!

But he, for the time being, has no way to counter it!

"They can't beat them and just want to grab a hand and run away!"

"It should be killed! It should be killed!"

At the end, Xu Feng shouted angrily, propped his hands on the battlements, his chest heaved non-stop, as if he was already raging with anger!

"Li Dingguo!"

In the end, Xu Feng suddenly gave a cold shout, and Li Dingguo, who was standing beside him among the generals, immediately walked out.

"grown ups!"

"I order you to lead the cavalry to the left to attack Datong, and the governor will send people to counterattack!"

"The last will obey!"

Li Dingguo clapped his hands and responded with a firm tone without hesitation!

"Row!"

"Wang Xiao, Wu Wen, Longchuan, each of you lead a cavalry, go out of the Zijing Pass, hunt down the Mongols and plunder the partial divisions, remember, don't love to fight! Focus on hunting and restraining."

"As ordered!"

The generals retreated, but Xu Feng's expression was still quite ugly. Such blatant burning, killing and looting undoubtedly directly pressed his face on the ground and rubbed him, completely ignoring him.

Come when you want, go when you want!

"Humph!"

Xu Feng snorted coldly, then turned around suddenly, stepped into the city tower, stared at the hanging military situation map, and strategic concepts flickered in his mind.

He wants to keep the Monan Mongols, but no matter how he thinks about it, this is an impossible thing. Even if Datong is taken back, it will only cause a little trouble for the Mongols to retreat. If they want to completely stop it, it is impossible to do it. to this point.

Unless he, Brother Xiu, can reach the Bauhinia Pass before the Mongols retreat, otherwise, he may just sit back and watch the Mongols burn, kill and loot in front of him, and finally return with a full reward!

"If Brother Xiu was here, what would he do?"

Xu Feng tried to switch positions, and soon came to a conclusion. From the very beginning, Brother Xiu would never defend like himself. He would definitely mobilize the three armies, send out troops brazenly, and take the initiative to fight.

But then, Xu Feng denied this idea.

Perhaps Brother Xiu would do this when Mongolia knocked on the side at the beginning, but now that the situation has changed, Brother Xiu should not do this!

"Let Monan Mongolia retreat?"

In an instant, this somewhat unacceptable conclusion appeared in his mind.

Staring at the military situation map in front of him, Xu Feng also had to admit that this solution is the best for both Daming and brother Xiu.

The annihilation of Monan Mongolia will only make Lin Danhan on the grassland the dominant family easily.

Moreover, as long as Houjin can't break through Shanhaiguan for a long time, it will definitely shift its strategic direction to Monan.

When two tigers fight, although there is bound to be an injury, there is a high possibility that after the fight, they may not fight at all. After all, with Da Ming watching, the two brothers and sisters who have tasted the military power of Da Ming may unite and have a tacit understanding Carve up Monan, and then unite against Ming!

Only by putting Monan Mongolia back, the situation where the two tigers are fighting each other will turn into a three-party struggle for hegemony, and whether it is Hou Jin or Lin Danhan, they are all inextricably linked to Monan Mongolia.

In addition, Daming is involved in it, so that it is enough to completely confuse the grassland situation, contain Lin Danhan, also contain Monan Mongolia, and even contain Hou Jin...

Foreign enemies are contained, so Da Ming has precious time to clean up internal troubles, so as not to completely fall into the quagmire of internal and external troubles...

"My lord, Duke Qin has sent you a letter!"

Just as Xu Feng was thinking, a messenger hurried in and handed an envelope to Xu Feng.

After opening the letter paper, apart from Duke Qin's big seal, there was only a short line of writing, which was clearly visible.
