Chapter 99 The Change of Jiangdu
Although Gao Jie's army has been fighting in the bitter and cold northwest for a long time, and its family is not rich enough, and it has also lost a lot of baggage and luggage during its escape south this time, Mrs. Xing's family is still very rich after ten years of operation, and there are even a few red cannons that she got from some unknown place.
However, because these red-clothed cannons were too bulky, they did not follow the army in this Northern Expedition but stayed in Xuzhou. In addition, military funds, weapons, war horses, pack horses, and mule loads can be described as great richness, which are what Liu Yongxi urgently needs.
Not to mention that the entire army's food and salary were all in the hands of Mrs. Xing and it was not handed over to Li Benshen.
If all tens of thousands of people under Gao Jie's army were taken over, then Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing would have to carry a huge burden, supplying the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these tens of thousands of people and the forage and horses of tens of thousands of mules and horses. However, now Li Benshen takes the initiative to take over the responsibility of "temporarily leading the entire army", and all these food, clothing, housing, transportation and horses of forage and horses of Li Benshen will be responsible for.
Gao Jie's rich family fortune is enough to supply the seven thousand men of Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing. After thinking about this, Li Xiangjun understood how much advantage Liu Yongxi took: "Little Chengyi Bo, put more thoughts on Mrs. Xing. She looks stronger than anyone else now, but it is the time when she needs care the most!"
But after saying this, Li Xiangjun always felt that it was inappropriate.
How could I encourage Liu Yongxi to strike while the iron is hot and take down Mrs. Xing directly? Not only is he a woman, but he also has some unclear relationship with Liu Yongxi. But if Liu Yongxi takes down Mrs. Xing, where should Li Xiangjun do it himself?
She also wants to be a legitimate and sincere Mrs. Bo!
But this is just a delusion after all. Li Xiangjun felt that she was destined to be Mrs. Bo, who said that she had such a background and experience? And Mrs. Xing is so pitiful now!
She could only comfort herself: "After taking down Mrs. Xing, she will definitely remember her contributions, and then her problems will not be a problem!"
Although she knew it was just a comfort to herself, she still did not forget her responsibilities.
At this time, she must stand up as strongly as Mrs. Xing. Anyone who lacks now can do so can only lack Li Xiangjun.
Although Xing Shengping and Chen Yuan were both old generals of Gaoying, Gao Jie's old subordinates who had experienced this drastic change were still panicked. They were all frightened birds, which could trigger a roar at any time.
Under this situation, Li Xiangjun's Kunqu opera and Pingtan always have incredible magic. Even if some Qin soldiers don't understand what Li Xiangjun is saying, they will calm down, and Li Xiangjun's Shaanxi dialect is now OK.
Li Xiangjun really feels that Liu Yongxi is completely illusory and will become a great man in the future, so he also devoted his feelings to rap. When telling the story of Queen Zhang's southward journey, he was full of energy. He described Liu Yongxi as a god-like man who combines Zhuge Kongming, Liu Bowen, Zhao Yun and Wu Qi's skills.
Although Gao Jie's old subordinate thought that Li Xiangjun's statement was too exaggerated, at least there were two living examples of Xing Shengping and Chen Yuan. It would be fine if Xing Shengping was just there. Chen Yuan only had 30 or 40 people in half a year, but now he became arrogant all of a sudden. Seeing his achievements, Gao Jie's old subordinates also became hot.
Although Gao Jie could no longer bring them to his wife and son, if Cheng Yi Bo is really as powerful as the legendary one, then he seems to be the real wise ruler. Several camp leaders have calmed down, even more enthusiastic than Mrs. Xing, and they are persuading Mrs. Xing to choose a tree for living every day.
Under their siege, Mrs. Xing now feels that she will not be completely destroyed after long, and she is almost at a loss now.
Fortunately, I have a caring best friend like Li Xiangjun, "Xiangjun, this time it's thanks to you, otherwise I don't know if I can hold on. When I settle down, I must thank you!"
Li Xiangjun felt ridiculous and irritating about Mrs. Xing’s care. After all, she came in contact with Mrs. Xing with purpose or even was instructed by Liu Yongxi. However, she could also understand Mrs. Xing’s feelings: “Mrs. Xing, I think…”
But before Li Xiangjun finished speaking, Liu Yongxi's voice came from outside: "Sister Xing, something big happened in the south, and Sister Xiangjun is here too?"
Mrs. Xing has not yet been able to get out of the bolt from the blue when Gao Jie died in battle. Now when she heard Liu Yongxi say this, she feels that the sky is about to collapse: "What's wrong? What's wrong with Xuzhou?"
Liu Yongxi quickly explained what happened: "It's okay in Xuzhou, but something happened in Jiangdu. Huang Degong heard that Xingping Bo died in Suizhou and is planning a sneak attack on Jiangdu. Jiangdu is in an emergency, so we have to speed up the action!"
The reason why Mrs. Xing couldn't wait to carry the coffin to the south was because she was worried that she would attract unexpected variables. After all, Gao Jie was too arrogant in the past and offended too many enemies. She just didn't expect Huang Degong to act so quickly.
But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that Huang Degong's actions were not surprising. After all, the Tuqiao Incident happened three or four months ago. At that time, Gao Jie sneaked into Huang Degong, and the three hundred horse teams that were most proud of Huang Degong were completely wiped out. Only Huang Degong and a few servants escaped by chance.
With such grudges, Huang Degong will definitely take action after receiving news of Gao Jie's death in battle. Moreover, the combat effectiveness and strength of his troops under him are second only to Gao Jie. If he takes this opportunity to severely damage Gao Jie's remaining troops, he will become the number one in the four towns in Jiangbei.
The families of Gao Jie's troops were all placed in Jiangdu, and Xing Shengping led 3,000 soldiers to guard it. However, this Northern Expedition Xing Shengping brought another 700 elite troops to the war, and only 2,300 people were left in Jiangdu. Huang Degong really wanted to do it recklessly, and I am afraid that the families of Jiangdu would have to go through a disaster.
Therefore, Mrs. Xing was anxious and wanted to lead troops to support Jiangdu now. However, she knew that she was far inferior to the little sincerity Liu Yongxi in front of her, so she felt that the sky had not collapsed: "Little sincerity, what do you think we should do?"
Li Xiangjun couldn't help laughing when she heard this title: "Sister Xing, others can call Xiaochengyi Bo, but you can't call me that. If you think that Brother Yongxi is too intimate, then you might as well call Xiaoxi? I believe this is not a big problem for Chengyi Bo!"
