"Brother Pijiang, how could you... be so rude to the prince?" Li Yong was really worried and complained.

However, Mao Xiang laughed and said, "If it doesn't, how can I show my ability?"

Li Yong was shocked.

Mao Xiang turned his head and rushed to Wu Zheng's carriage behind and compared his chin, "Do you really think the prince doesn't know the pros and cons?"

Li Yong's face changed, "You mean, the prince has this idea too?"

Mao Xiang did not answer, raised his head to the sky, with a hint of "the world is under Xiang's control", and said leisurely: "The most important thing about being a minister is to be good at taking the blame for the master... Brother Zhongfu, you are too real."

Li Yong thought something, he was not stupid, but on the contrary, his talent was no less than Mao Xiang. As Mao Xiang said, it was just too real.

"So... are you taking the blame for the prince?"

Mao Xiang took a long breath, "The prince and the king of Jin are personal friends, but the two emperors are just a fight... Which one is more important?"

Li Yong nodded slowly and said, "Yes, instead of worrying about meeting each other in the future, it is better to prevent problems before they happen... But this plan is too shady after all, and it is not a gentleman's job... If it is spread, it will ruin the prince's reputation."

"Have you taken the blame for this plan if you don't Xiang advised him?!" Mao Xiang said leisurely.

"But I always feel... the prince is not that kind of person." Li Yong hesitated, "Internal struggle is just a guess, but the enemy still exists. At this time, if you fight with your family, will your relatives suffer the enemy?"

This made Mao Xiang's face dim, but then he sneered, "The small measure is not a gentleman, the non-toxic man is not a husband, and those who accomplish great things do not care about minor matters... Compared with the unification of the world and the people living and working in peace and contentment, this is just a means."

Li Yong was stunned for a while, shook his head and said, "But I... still don't believe it. The prince shouldn't be that kind of person."

"What kind of person?" Mao Xiang whispered, "In your heart, Mao Xiang is that kind of person, right? But have you ever thought that once the Northern Expedition Army and the Daxi Army collided head-on in the north, a battle for throne would inevitably break out, and then the number of people would die several times, or even dozens of times... Kill one person to save a hundred people, how do you choose?"

Li Yong looked at Mao Xiang's excited face melancholy and said sadly: "Yong... would rather not choose!"

"Stupid!" Mao Xiang cursed indignantly, "It's just to cherish the feathers... Do you believe it? The prince will order to change his way to Chizhou in a while? Go back to Hangzhou Prefecture directly."

“Why?”

"If you pass through Luzhou and Hezhou, you will return to Hangzhou from Yingtian Prefecture? Then? The messengers from Fengyang Prefecture, Li and Chi, can arrive in one day, and from Chizhou to directly return to Hangzhou Prefecture? The envoy will take at least two days to arrive at Fengyang Prefecture... Brother Zhongfu is a product... a detailed taste!"

Li Yongzhen was savoring it, and for a long time he looked at Mao Xiang and said, "Everything that Brother Pi Jiang said is reasonable..."

"Oh...yes."

"But Yong still doesn't believe it... The prince will never do this dejected thing!" Li Yong said firmly.

"You...!" Mao Xiang looked like he was so angry that he was not strong enough to be a steel? "You have lived in vain for more than thirty years... This world is about benevolence and righteousness... Before, there was a fight between Chu and Han, and later, there was a decisive battle between the Ming Han (Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang) in Poyang Lake... Bah, the bullshit benevolence and righteousness... In this way, I bet with you 500 taels... no? If you win? I lose 1,000 taels, if you lose, you only have to lose 500 taels...how?"

Li Yong hesitated and said, "Five hundred taels... are too much?"

You know, Li Yong was not born into a family of Mao Xiang and was a real second generation of blessings? He was a staff member of Wu Zheng, and his monthly salary was only more than 30 taels of silver? Five hundred taels, which would cost more than a year.

But as he was talking, suddenly Lu Jincai shouted from behind, "The prince has an order... march at full speed!"

Li Yong, Mao Xiang looked at each other? Four eyes were staring like bells.

In the end, Li Yong reacted quickly? He shouted with anger: "I've bet... I've bet!"

Mao Xiang was stunned on the spot? During Li Yong's push, he sighed leisurely, "What a pity, what a good opportunity... It's still your Li Zhongfu knows people... Oh, no, you didn't respond just now, you said five hundred taels are too much... You can't let go, you are a gentleman!"

"Haha...haha." Li Yong laughed very happily, "A gentleman... I yearn for it, it doesn't prevent me from talking about being a teenager. It's rare to be a scoundrel, and it's quite interesting... Mao Pijiang, give money... I'm willing to accept the loss..."

"...Remember first, when I arrive in Hangzhou, I will invite you to drink!"

"Bah! Can you eat a thousand taels of wine in one meal?... Give it money!"

....

Wu Zheng kept mobilizing his army along the way.

The Jianyang Wei, Zuoying, Chi Erhan's troops, Guangxin Wei and Jiang Quan's troops were all moving westward quickly.

For a time, large troops gathered around Runing Mansion.

However, after Wu Zheng and Jirgalang agreed on the main matters, the Jianxing Dynasty and the Qing court were about to formally sign a ceasefire agreement. The Northern Expedition Army could not suddenly go west to participate in the war, otherwise the war would rekindle within the jurisdiction of the Jianxing Dynasty.

This is different from solving Yanzhou Dorbo. Now if Yanzhou is surrounded by three divisions of Jiang Quanyi, Qingzhou Shen Zhiyuan, and Huai'an Lu territory. In addition, Jiergalang intends to prevent Doorbo from returning to the capital, then, no matter whether it is in terms of time or from the signing of the agreement between the two dynasties, the Northern Expedition Army has no obstacles to invading Yanzhou.

In other words, before the formal signing of the treaty, the Qing court accused the Northern Expedition Army of the attack on the Doerbo army in Yanzhou.

Of course, Jiergalang's request was also very clear. The Yanzhou army must be returned, and the Northern Expedition Army must withdraw from Yanzhou in the future. The price was the Qing court's default on the Northern Expedition Army's occupation of Andongwei and other places.

On the battlefield of Runing, which was about to start, Li Dingguo denied Wu Zheng's suggestion to dissuade the Western Army from the north and politely refused the Northern Expedition Army to enter Huguang and Henan to provide assistance. Therefore, all units of the Northern Expedition Army went to the western borders of Fengyang, Luzhou and Anqing at most to stockpile troops.

As a result, several Northern Expedition troops only acted as a deterrent and restraining the Ajige tribe from going westward to reinforce Runing.

In Wu Zheng's view, although the Daxi Army was in a dangerous situation in the Battle of Runing Mansion, given that Li Dingguo personally led the rear army to arrive, it was almost impossible to be in danger. After all, according to Li Dingguo, the Daxi Army's rear army was only three days away from the battlefield. As long as we arrived in time, the troops of the two sides were almost the same as in the Battle of Runing Mansion.

At the same time, Wu Zheng did not want to increase the fear of the Western Army against the Northern Expedition Army because of his persistence, which worsened the relationship between the two armies and the two dynasties.

Once the Northern Expedition Army moves westward in a large scale, the Daxi Army will wonder whether the Northern Expedition Army intends to interfere in Henan and block the momentum of the Daxi Army's advance northward, thereby monopolizing Shuntian Prefecture. In this way, it is likely that the upcoming confrontation between the two armies will be advanced.
