Chapter 211: The Danger of Hongcheng

"The ministers see Princess Yi, Princess Yi is coming from afar, and I hope to forgive my sins." Hongtu immediately led the Taishou Mansion and the others to salute.

Being able to guess her identity as soon as she said it, Qian Dai immediately had a preliminary understanding of the Hongcheng Taishou in front of her, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and sure enough, the person who could be in charge of the granary in the northwest of Great Chu and hold heavy troops at the same time should not be underestimated.

A little appreciation rose in his heart, but when he thought of the purpose of his trip, he instantly retracted his feelings, looked at the people in the inner hall, and then said in a deep voice: "I don't know if Taishou has time to move a while." ”

It is impossible for ordinary people to know about Yu Pei's affairs except for those in power, and if she wants to get the command of the 300,000 army, she must have some negotiations with him, and it is obvious that it is unwise to talk about these here.

Qiandai understands the truth, and it is naturally impossible for Hongtu not to understand, so she respectfully took someone to the study of the discussion.

As soon as she entered the study, Qian Dai showed off the jade pendant.

Rao is heart was prepared, Hongtu still had a little surprise in his heart, he didn't expect that the emperor would hand over the command of the 300,000 army to a woman, and this woman was also a princess in a foreign country.

He already knew about the Northern Xinjiang sending troops to intercept the Dongshu army, although they were not enemies at this time, but who could guarantee that they would never be a threat, he didn't dare to guarantee it, but Mu Ronglan paid all his trust, he not only gave her the jade pendant, but also handed over the safety of his son, who he valued the most, to him.

He was truly admired for the boldness of his king.

But in any case, he is a courtier, so he should trust his king's judgment with all his heart.

After only a slight pause, he bowed his head and said: "The minister respectfully obeys the emperor's will, and the minister and the 300,000 army are at the mercy of the princess." ”

Hongtu didn't have any questioning reaction, but it made Qiandai a little surprised, but things are always going well, and he raised his hand slightly to support Hongtu's bowed body and said: "Hongda doesn't have to be polite, Dachu is in danger at this time, and he will rely on the strength of adults in the future." ”

"This is a matter of the ministry, and we must do our best." Hongtu said in a deep voice.

Qian Dai nodded, and then Hongtu continued: "Now, the princess is coming to Hongcheng in person but is ready to send troops? ”

Qian Dai didn't hide it from him, nodded and said in a deep voice: "With the eyes of Lord Hong, I will definitely not see that in today's situation, the war-torn world is a nirvana arranged around the prince." ”

It can be seen that when his subordinates said to send troops just now, the grand plan will be indecisive, he is a strategist rather than a general, and the people in his hands can only defend it, but they can't kill the Quartet and save King Yi from danger, and the 300,000 troops in his hands are simply a drop in the bucket in front of the million army, therefore, even if he sends troops, he is powerless, because he has to plan for the hundreds of thousands of people behind him, at this time hearing Qiandai's words, he feels guilty at the same time, and is a little curious, this Princess Yi, the princess in power in the north of Xinjiang in the past, What will she choose to do?

"I wonder what the princess is going to do?" After thinking about it, Hongtu decided to ask.

Qian Dai first pondered for a moment, glanced at Hongtu, and then said loudly: "Regarding this matter, this concubine wants to hear the opinion of Master Hong. "It's not that she doesn't distrust him, but there are some deployments, and it's always good to take one more person's opinion.

But Hongtu didn't think so, when he heard Qiandai's words, the first thing he felt was that Qiandai was testing himself, and such a cautious attitude made him more respectful to Qiandai.

But he didn't hide his thoughts, after all, these 300,000 were the guarantee that the first king left to guard the granary of Hongcheng, even if Qian Dai wanted to use it, he had to minimize the casualties of this army.

After thinking about it for a while, he bowed down and said: "Princess Qiyu, this army was handed over to you by the emperor, and it stands to reason that related matters should not be intervened by Weichen, but you came to Hongzhou, you should also know the situation in Hongzhou now, Hongzhou is rich, and it is also known as the granary of the northwest, not to mention, half of the grain provided by the Chu ** team has always been guarded by Hongzhou, so Weichen has thought about it, if the 300,000 troops want to send troops, all considered, Weichen is not in favor." ”

After speaking, Hongtu raised his eyes to see Qiandai's expression, and continued to speak: "It's not that Weichen doesn't want to help King Yi, it's just that now, Weichen feels that it is difficult for Hongzhou to take time out to help King Yi." ”

Hearing these words, Qian Dai's face did not have too much expression, but looked at Hongtu and said, "Lord Hong, please continue." ”

Seeing that there was no sadness or surprise on Qiandai's face, Hongtu glanced at Qiandai again, retracted his feelings and continued: "The world is in chaos, wars are raging everywhere, Hongzhou, as the place where the rich granary is located, is a place where soldiers must fight, so this time there will definitely be a beacon fire, and now, compared to the other three kingdoms, there is only one biggest threat to Hongzhou, that is, the king of the south, now he wants to continue to march to the northwest, whether it is to go deep into the hinterland to hit the prince hard, or to expand the land, What he lacks most is food, the location of Hongzhou is now only half a day's journey away from Yonglin where they are, these days they have raised troops, they must have made some preparations, Weichen thought, now they are probably coming towards Hongcheng. ”

As the first time they met, Hongtu was willing to say this to himself from the bottom of his heart, although it had something to do with Mu Ronglan's trust, and more importantly, he was a very responsible Taishou, I have to say that Qiandai secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, now that the situation is complicated, someone is willing to help you sincerely, at least make the situation not so bad.

Looking at Hongtu's eyes, there was also more sincerity, bowed slightly, and said softly: "These concubines know." ”

As he spoke, he didn't look at Hongtu's thoughtful expression, and continued: "I don't know if Hongda has a countermeasure. ”

Hongtu didn't intend to hide it from Qiandai, and said in a deep voice: "Don't hide it from the princess, in the past few days, Xiaguan has made preliminary arrangements for this matter, and first ordered secret agents to go to the passes everywhere to closely monitor, once there is the whereabouts of the rebels of the Southern King, they will report immediately, and then divide the army into several groups and disperse on the outskirts of Hongcheng, just waiting for the arrival of the army, and as for the granary in Hongcheng, in order to be presumptuous, Xiaguan has also ordered someone to transfer secretly." ”

This is a two-step deployment, and he has taken all the qiē into account, and Qiandai has a number in his heart.

Looking at Qiandai's expression, knowing that she was not dissatisfied, Hongtu continued: "This is the preliminary plan of the lower officials, in the plan, the army will be used to protect Hongcheng and the millions of people behind him, so that they can not be slaughtered by the war, but in this way, they may not be able to spare their hands to help the eldest prince."

Hearing the last sentence full of sighs, there was a powerlessness that could not be concealed, Qian Dai was a little moved in her heart, and pulled the corners of her mouth and said: "Master Hong doesn't have to blame himself, your consideration is not wrong." ”

"Princess" Hongtu obviously didn't expect Qiandai to say this, and she didn't understand her attitude.
