Chapter 379: Salute First, Then Soldier!
The county guard's house, the guest hall.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, Your Majesty will give you a drink!"
Ximenhai held the wine glass and did it first as a respect.
Ximen Hao also drank it all with a wine glass.
"Hahaha, everyone, feel free, you're welcome!"
Ximen Hai was in a good mood when he saw the prince giving face like this.
However, except for Ximen Hao, Ah Ke and Li Bai did not eat or drink, and stood behind each other.
Luo Li, as a woman, sat quietly beside Ximen Hao on this occasion.
As for Ji Wuxi, well, he was looking at the master opposite with a hairy heart.
"Brother, along the way, the people of Xingsha County are rich and strong, it seems that my brother has a good way of governance!"
Ximen Hao took advantage of the situation and patted the other party to make fun of it first.
"Hehe, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won the award, this Xingsha County has been the county guard since my grandparents, I am just stained with the light of my ancestors. ”
Ximenhai shook his head modestly.
"Oh...... So, this Xingsha County has always been under the rule of your line?"
"Not bad. ”
"That means that the defenders here have always been managed by our Simon family?"
Ximen Hao finally said what he meant.
Ximenhai was stunned, his heart was sudden, his heart felt bad, and the touch in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.
And the military advisor's face also changed slightly, it turned out that this Ximen Hao was running for the defenders of Xingsha County!
"This~ Your Highness, what do you mean?"
"The defenders of Xingsha County lent me money. ”
Ximen Hao did not ink.
"No!"
The military advisor jumped up all of a sudden, if Ximen Hao transferred the defenders here, then he would be cut by Ximen Wentian.
"Oh, what are you?"
Ximen Hao looked at his master, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
The master was excited, and hurriedly saluted:
"Master of the Humble County Guard. ”
"Oh...... It turned out to be a master!"
Ximen Hao looked stunned, then his face sank, and he said coldly:
"So, the defenders of Xingsha County are under the control of one of your masters?"
"No, no, no, Your Highness misunderstood, misunderstood. ”
The master was so frightened that he waved his hand again and again, took a few steps back, and realized that he had said the wrong thing in a hurry.
Ximen Hao took a deep look at the master, then looked at Ximen Hai, and said:
"Brother, now that the king of Huainan is rebelling, the court is the time to employ people, I have just returned to Qingguo now, and I have no soldiers in my hands, so I also ask my brother to lend me 100,000 defenders!"
"Poof!100,000?!"
Ximenhai was so close that he didn't choke to death, he opened his mouth to be 100,000, he went to steal it!
"Eighty thousand!"
"Eighty thousand?!"
"Fifty thousand!"
Ximen Hao said as he released a trace of evil qi at the same time.
"This ...... Don't hide it from His Royal Highness the Prince, the defenders of the sixteen cities of Xingsha County are only 80,000. But it will take a long time to mobilize them all, and it is impossible for the city to be left without soldiers!"
Ximen Hai didn't lie about this, that is, he told the truth with this sentence, which made the killing intent in Ximenhao's heart disappear.
If the other party dares to deceive himself, or give himself tai chi, he will not hesitate to shoot the other party!
"By tomorrow at the latest, how many troops can the county guard muster mobilize for my Qingguo?"
Ximen Hao directly called the other party's position this time, and even said that the defenders were Qingguo's troops, which not only seemed formal, but also blocked Ximenhai's resignation.
If the other party does not transfer troops and really treats the defenders as his private army, then he can completely destroy the other party on the charge of rebellion!
Ximenhai frowned suddenly, he never thought that Ximenhao's offensive was so fierce that he didn't give himself room to ease at all.
And the military advisor lowered his head and was silent, he knew that if he talked nonsense at this time, then this evil god who even dared to kill his own brother would destroy himself without hesitation.
Ximen Hao leaned back in his chair, picked up his wine glass, and drank unhurriedly.
Ji Wuxian was always looking at the master, and his face showed a smile.
In a moment, Ximenhai finally made a decision!
No matter what King Huainan can give himself, only now Ximen Hao can't pass this pass, and he doesn't want to be charged with treason unless he has to.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, there are 10,000 defenders in Xingsha City, and there are more than 20,000 troops in the surrounding four cities. But if you want to get rid of the officers and soldiers who stayed behind, you can bring in 25,000 people!"
Ximenhai is also a good county guard, he can count the number of his defenders so quickly, and he can also arrange the people who stay behind.
If you change to a mediocre and incompetent county guard, you don't know how many soldiers you have.
Ximen Hao smiled, then picked up his wine glass and laughed:
"Hahaha! Thank you for your support, I will repay Your Majesty truthfully! Come, I will toast you. ”
Ximenhai also smiled, and after making this decision, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is polite, these are also Qingguo's troops!"
The two clinked glasses again, and the military advisor on the side became more and more ugly, and even a little worried, worried that he would be killed by Ximenhai.
"Since Lord County Guard has agreed, let's mobilize the army and assemble outside Xingsha City, and my Ritian Iron Cavalry will be outside. ”
Ximen Hao showed his hole cards.
Ximenhai instantly "chuckled" in his heart, and at the same time secretly rejoiced that he didn't listen to his master, otherwise......
The reputation of the Iron Rider is even greater than that of the Peerless Iron Rider in recent times!
"Okay! Okay! The next official will do it. Someone ...... coming."
Ximenhai began to order the garrison of Xingsha City, as well as the defenders of the nearest four surrounding cities, to assemble at the city gate tomorrow night.
After getting what he wanted, Ximen Hao did not leave the county guard's mansion, but stayed after eating and drinking.
Ximenhai also personally arranged the room for everyone, and then took the master to arrange the next matters.
Although there are some defenders left in Xingsha City and the surrounding four cities, for the sake of safety, some defenders must be mobilized from the nearest city.
......
"Your Highness, there is nothing wrong with Ximenhai, and the master beside him is a little interesting. ”
Ji Wuxian sat at the bottom of Ximen Hao, gently shaking the folding fan, with a smile on his face.
"I can see it, Ake, keep a close eye on Ximenhai if he makes any changes...... Kill!"
Ximen Hao must not be soft now, the whole country is in chaos, and he doesn't care about killing a county guard!
"Yes, master. ”
After saying that, Ake turned and left the room.
"Lili, you go out of the city with Li Bai and inform Han Yan and Sima Zhong that you are ready to accept their army. Once you're out of town, don't come back. ”
Ximen Hao continued to arrange.
"Okay, Brother Hao. ”
Luo Li didn't ask why, but left the county guard mansion with Li Bai.
"Xiao Ji, are you afraid?"
Ximen Hao looked at the sky outside that was gradually darkening, and his face showed a bloodthirsty smile.
"Hehe, Your Highness dares to use your body as bait, what are your subordinates afraid of?"
Ji smiled indifferently, knowing in his heart that Ximen Hao took all the people in order to draw out some potential threats.
"Hey, hey, you still know Haoye. Wait and see if that master can jump out. ”
The corners of Ximenhao's mouth curled, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
If the county guard is clean, it will be fine, since it is not clean, then remove some garbage, and by the way, see if you can inquire about the news of Brahma Ba.
