"See General!" The Taiping Prefecture Military Department Office, Hou Feng was already standing in the hall. It was only half a day to go from Yingtian Prefecture to Taiping Prefecture. Hou Feng rushed to Liu Yi immediately. Liu Yi paid a serious gift to worship, but Hou Feng had no time to do these superficial skills with him. He took two steps and grabbed Liu Yi's arm, "General Liu, I'll look for you today, I believe you know what's going on. I have been your Shangguan for so many years. Today you have grown from a small officer to a general who stands alone. Now you are Wang Xiantong

Adjutant, you can also take care of the military affairs of Nanzhili, but today, I beg you once. For so many years of friendship, please give me a brief explanation. Zhang Xianzhong's army invaded Nanzhili. What do you think? I have no soldiers available now. Fengyang is in danger. If Fengyang is lost, although the main responsibility is Zhu Guozheng, I, Hou Feng, will not be able to escape. Of course, this is not something I care about. What I care more about is Yingtian Mansion? What should I do if I do Yingtian Mansion? Zhang Xianzhong's intention is very obvious. I am afraid I want to capture Nanjing City. What should I do?"

Liu Yi wanted to bow down, but was pulled by Hou Feng and could not bow down, so he simply stopped bowing. Seeing Hou Feng so panic, he must have been in a hurry, but for Liu Yi, everything was still under control. Although the new army has not intervened in the war for the time being, Liu Yi is not a bystander, or in fact, the new army's night is not taken away, and the intelligence army has already intervened in the war, but other people except the military headquarters do not know. What Hou Feng was worried about was nothing more than Zhang Xianzhong's prevailing in Nanzhili, which affected the situation in the entire center of the Ming Dynasty. Nanzhili was rich, and Zhang Xianzhong's capture of one city in Nanzhili could be worthy of three cities in Shaanxi. Such a deal was worthwhile for Zhang Xianzhong.

"Mr. Hou, please don't worry. In this way, the lobby is not a place to talk. Can we go into the room and chat alone?" Liu Yi said to Hou Feng. Hou Feng was stunned. He looked at Liu Yi's eyes. From Liu Yi's eyes, Hou Feng did not see a hint of panic or nervous expression, but revealed a look of insight into everything. What does this mean? Liu Yi has made some arrangements? Hou Feng knew that Liu Yi's purpose is to not fight a battle without confidence. The new army is so powerful that it can guarantee the safety of Anqing Guard, so it is certain that Liu Yi is not worried about Zhang Xianzhong entering his defense zone. But what about his own problem? How is Liu Yi going to solve his own problem? With questions, Hou Feng followed Liu Yi into the inner room.

The personal soldiers had already served tea. Hou Feng had no intention of drinking tea, put the cup aside, and said to Liu Yi: "I won't go around the corner. If anyone of the six officials of the Southern Zhili Ministry is most familiar with you, Liu Yi, I think, I'm probably me except Zhou Zhihan. I have seen a different meaning in your eyes. Tell me, are you already prepared?"

Liu Yi didn't answer Hou Feng's question directly, but just smiled and said, "General Hou, Lord Hou, first I will answer your last question first. Zhang Xianzhong cannot enter Nanjing." Hou Feng was shocked and looked at Liu Yi's smile. He suddenly understood that he was getting more and more confused as he got older. Yes, Yingtian Mansion could not be in danger. A Yangtze River was enough to explain any problem. If Zhang Xianzhong wanted to enter Nanjing, it would be impossible for him to fly from the sky.

You must cross the Yangtze River. Who is Liu Yi? The water transport cooperation. His navy has seen it himself. The edict said that Liu Yi's men and horses cannot cross the boundary, but don't forget that the Yangtze River is the scope of the water transport yamen. As long as Liu Yi's troops do not go to the north shore, they will fight on the Yangtze River. It is not considered crossing the boundary. With the new army navy establishing a defense line on the river surface, can Zhang Xianzhong's men compete with Liu Yi's new army in the water?

Hou Feng let out a long sigh. The busier he was getting more and more messy. He had a problem of riding a horse and looking for a horse. He couldn't figure out such a simple truth. He rushed over from Yingtian Mansion early in the morning and didn't drink a sip of water. Hou Feng felt thirsty and grabbed the teacup beside him and drank the tea. Liu Yi smiled and said, "Sir, I'm hungry, just for dinner here. I'll go back tomorrow. Today, don't you just want to know the plan of the new army? Or my attitude, so I'll talk to you. Let's have a chat while eating."

Liu Yi brought Hou Feng to the canteen of the military headquarters. Since the establishment of the military headquarters, Hou Feng has not visited it. This is his first time to visit the internal visit of the military headquarters. The building covers a small area and is very compact. It can be arranged reasonably between departments and is very convenient for office contacts. Liu Yi even creatively established an internal canteen. You should know that the office institutions of the Ming Dynasty generally rarely provide regular canteens, such as the county government, which is usually the county magistrate who can eat behind the hall, because the county magistrate is the county magistrate.

There is no problem with his living place, so he eats behind the hall, but other public officials are not treated so well. The better situation is that they can make some food in the county kitchen, or go out to eat. Liu Yi is completely different here. Whether it is the workshop, the General Administration of Manufacturing, or the Military Department, there are spacious and bright canteens. In particular, Liu Yi made the kitchen of the canteen open, and you can see it at a glance from the outside. In this way, the freshness of the ingredients and the ingredients used for cooking can be seen at a glance, which invisibly formed a mode of mass supervision.

The chefs in the canteen are all masters. Liu Yi's concept has always been that good food is the guarantee of everyone's hard work, so the meal provided by the military headquarters is no worse than Geng Fuxing. Liu Yi directly introduced Hou Feng into the private room. In addition to the places where everyone eats, Liu Yi also set up several private rooms, which are specially used as receptions. Sometimes there is no need to go to Geng Fuxing or other restaurants. You can handle everything by yourself in the canteen, and it is convenient for everyone to talk about things.

Hou Feng was really hungry, and as soon as the dishes came up, he started eating immediately. "Liu Yi, I won't be polite to you." Hou Feng just called me, but after he felt confident, the majesty of the general in the past came back and began to call himself by himself. Liu Yi smiled and said, "Please use it slowly, sir, there are several dishes behind, enough for adults to eat."

"You said, you must have something to hide. I'll listen to you while eating." Hou Feng said with a piece of Dongpo pork stuffed in his mouth. Liu Yi immediately continued, "Okay, then I'll just say it, but I won't admit it after this. Let's just say it." Hou Feng paused his chopsticks. Whenever Liu Yi said such words, Hou Feng knew that the new army had some secret plans that could not be known to outsiders. Liu Yi just gave Hou Feng face to him. "Okay, you say, I will listen." Hou Feng nodded and said.

Liu Yi said: "I have answered the question in Nanjing City, so I won't mention it here. Anyway, as long as Zhang Xianzhong dares to cross the river, our navy will be sure to let them all feed the fish. Please rest assured General Hou and all of you. As for Fengyang, I'm afraid I'm powerless. It's not that I, Liu Yi, want to protect myself, but the emperor's edict is that I cannot go out of the defense zone to fight. This edict is a tight spell for me. Unless the court cancels this order, it will be unreasonable. How can our new army attack directly?"

"I know this, I will tell you, before coming to you, I have discussed with Lord Shen Yongmao Shen. Lord Shen has drafted the document and sent it to Shuntian Mansion overnight, hoping that the court can lift the imperial edict and let your new army go north to reinforce." Hou Feng said. Liu Yi shook his head and said, "Mr. Hou, I'm afraid you're still too simple. Although the situation in Fengyang is critical, compared to the new army, the people in the court are still more afraid of the new army. In this way, the new army is like a beast locked in a cage. Once it is released, no one can control it. This is the idea of ​​the people in the court. They have already smelled the smell from our interference in the canal transportation.

The new army will not let anything harm the Ming Dynasty happen. The Ming Dynasty's national strength is becoming increasingly weak. If the grain transport cannot be cleared, the bed bugs that are absorbed on the Ming Dynasty and sucking bones and marrow are all sentenced to death, the Ming Dynasty will definitely die. Anqingwei is just the place of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to save this country, the new army must do more. This is contrary to the interests of these bed bugs. Lord Hou, let me say a straightforward saying, even you have been greedy for military pay and have eaten the empty amount. If the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty are like this, today we will kill Zhang Xianzhong, and tomorrow we will have more Zhang Xianzhong, Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng stand up. Do you want to kill all the people of the Ming Dynasty?"

Hou Feng was speechless for a moment. He didn't know how to answer Liu Yi's deafening question. Yes, ask yourself, "Hou Feng has never had a vacant salary, but his mentality was very calm before today. It's not that he was alone. Who is not greedy for the civil servants and military generals of the Ming Dynasty? It's said that it was the Qing magistrate for three years, with 100,000 snowflakes. It was a matter of officialdom. Everyone turned a blind eye to the matter. But Liu Yi teared the embarrassing facts directly, which made Hou Feng accept the conversation.

Liu Yi ignored Hou Feng and continued, "So, your book has no effect. If you want to break this shackle, there is only one way: you will not break or establish, and you will not let them go if you are too anxious or forced to do so."
