Ma Shiying's face turned red when he heard this, and he said angrily: "You are the one who hits someone but doesn't slap his face, and scolds others without revealing his shortcomings... Ma's first half of his life was absurd and shameless, but after following the prince in the second half of his life, he had already changed his mind and became a new person..."
Mao Xiang sneered: "If you don't know, don't do it yourself. Ma Yaocao, you know what you have done!"
Ma Shiying couldn't help but rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward, which was like performing a full martial arts with Mao Xiang.
Li Yong was anxious. He looked at Wu Zheng and saw that Wu Zheng lowered his eyes and eyebrows, as if he hadn't heard it at all. He saw it, and had no intention of silence to drink, so he had to suppress it.
So, Ma Shiying and Mao Xiang, an old man over fifty years old, and a scholar with no difficulty in binding, punched and kicked the King of Wu.
Mao Xiang scratched Ma Shiying with his hands, like a mountain shrew fighting with someone.
Ma Shiying was out of breath and began to spit.
God knows that the two of them are over 100 years old together, and they are all scholars who are well-read in poetry and books.
But at this moment, how could there be a trace of gentleness?
After all, Li Yong couldn't bear it anymore and exclaimed in a begging tone, "Prince..."
Why didn't Wu Zheng stop him?
Wu Zheng is angry!
I am angry with these three people and my own.
In fact, from the beginning, this matter was a game, a game presented by Mao Xiang.
Not many people know about this situation, Wu Zheng, Mao Xiang, Li Yong, Ma Shiying, and of course, Song An, who controls Chang Lin Wei, is essential.
Wu Zheng even hid Mo Nian, Xiong Rulin and others.
The cause of this situation was also due to the advice of Mao Xiang and Li Yong.
Mao Xiang said that when the mountains and rivers were broken and the country was shaking, the prince turned the tide with his own strength, which was known to everyone in the world. The prince was concerned about the people, had a broad mind, and did not seek personal gain... But the civil and military officials and soldiers of the Northern Expedition Army who followed the prince might not be as broad mind as the prince and did not seek personal gain... Prince, please reward him!
If you don’t reward your achievements and do not punish your mistakes, how can you convince the public?
What reward?
What punishment?
Reward and punish in the name of the general? How to convince the public?
Wu Zheng was shocked inside.
Li Yong said that for the emperor, the one who threatens the imperial power must be a rebel minister! Throughout history, the only effective way to deal with tradition is to start a new business. The government orders imposed by the General's Office and the doctrine advocated by the prince are no longer in line with the court, and there is no possibility of peace. At this time, the prince still wanted to keep the light and keep a low profile. Forgive the ministers to say frankly, he would take his own way out.
The emperor's art has always been a lie, betrayal, revenge, forgiveness, and finally killing him. I think the prince won't be willing to kill him, right?
Wu Zheng couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this.
So, the monarch and ministers conspired to repair the strategies offered by Mao Xiang and began to implement them.
Forced Li Guo and Guangxinwei to rebel is the primary starting point of this strategy.
Although Li Dingbang's death was taken by himself, it was also an accident.
Guangxin Wei passed through Ningguo and Taiping Prefectures, and safely crossed the river and "entered" Fengyang territory from under the nose of Jianyang Wei. In fact, it was one of the real reasons why Wu Zheng went to Taiping Prefecture. Xia Wanchun immediately increased troops to Chuzhou, which was also one of Wu Zheng's deployment.
Afterwards, Chen Sheng's Jinhua Guard entered Jiujiang, increased troops in the direction of Tianchang, and transferred Qian Qiaogong to form a new Fenglei cavalry to the north to reinforce Haizhou, etc., all of which were established plans.
The main purpose of this plan is only one, that is, to recover Fengyang, Luzhou and Anqing three prefectures under a controllable bottom line, and completely block the possibility of the Qing army moving south.
Everything went smoothly when the plan started, except for Li Dingbang's death.
But slowly, things became uncontrollable.
For example, Li Guo and Ajige's "flirting" with each other, Ajige suddenly attacked Tianchang, and Dorbo sent troops from Yanzhou without warning and attacked Haizhou.
Wu Zheng has selfishness because he is an ordinary person himself.
Among the 200,000 Northern Expedition Army, Wu Zheng hesitated for a long time and finally determined Guangxinwei.
Of course, there is no idea that Guangxinwei will be wiped out in the plan.
Guangxinwei is just a bait. There is Xia Wanchun Jianyangwei as the backing of the south, and Tianchang garrison in the east to defend the flanks. Theoretically, Guangxinwei should be in danger.
But the change in the situation was beyond everyone's expectations. Guangxin Guard was fine. The Tianchang garrison was defeated by Ajige, while Haizhou, five or six thousand Taizhou Guards were attacked by several times the enemy's troops, and in the end, they were almost wiped out.
Can such a result not make Wu Zheng feel distressed? Can Wu Zheng not be angry?
He was not only angry with Mao Xiang and Li Yong, but also with himself.
The commander was incompetent and exhausted the three armies.
This sentence has been hovering in Wu Zheng's mind for a long time.
Mao Xiang's advice to temporarily increase military expenses from the people of Jiangnan made Wu Zheng catch a cold and the country was destroyed. What did the people have to do with the people? When the country prospered, what did the people get? The people have already paid taxes, why should they be levied?
The meat eaters lost their power and humiliated their country, lost their country, and transformed themselves into another superior. They were even promoted and promoted to another title in a different court. Why do they vote for the people?
It was this inner depression that made Wu Zheng feel a hysterical pleasure when he saw Mao Xiang and Ma Shiying’s nonsense.
I can’t do it myself, so let you do it yourself. I’ll just treat it as a melon-eating crowd.
But at this moment, Li Yong's begging shocked Wu Zheng, and he realized that he had passed.
Because after all, these two people start to share their worries.
He even turned a blind eye to the two of them, indulged in disguise, and even agreed that the two of them would continue to fight.
The two of them didn't even dare to stop because they thought the prince wanted to see them fight.
Since the prince wants to see it, then you can't stop.
Why did Wu Zheng say something? The sound is not loud.
But it's immediate.
Mao Xiang and Ma Shiying stopped and looked at Wu Zheng together.
Looking at the redness and broken official uniforms on the two of them, Wu Zheng sighed: "Compared with the soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the country in Haizhou, your injuries... are not worth mentioning."
Mao Xiang and Ma Shiying looked at each other, then knelt down and apologized: "I have been betrayed the prince, and those who have been betrayed the soldiers of Haizhou, please punish the prince!"
"You are indeed guilty, you are not careful in your plan, and you are talking about military affairs." Wu Zheng said sternly, "But compared to you, Gu is also wrong... I thought of Haizhou before, but I was negligent after all. If Qian Qiaogong set out that day, he might be able to rescue Haizhou... It's a pity, it's a pity that the thousands of loyal and brave soldiers... all got up. I will remember this time."
Mao Xiang, Ma Shiying stood up and was silent on the side.
Wu Zheng changed his tone and said calmly: "The key point at the moment is that once the war is out of control, the food and grass we stockpile will only be enough for the 200,000 army for 60 days. Obviously, this is far from enough... I mean, buy grain from Huguang, Sichuan and Shu, and ask the King of Jin to cooperate to send troops to Henan... Who would you like to go to this errand?"
Wu Zheng glanced at him, Mao Xiang, and Li Yong lowered his head and remained silent.
