Chapter 1296: Carrying on the Past and Forging Ahead (186) Why do you want to help me
Wang Jian, who had no choice but to escape into the desert back then, actually had such an opportunity, which Xu Yahua naturally did not expect, but he still had doubts about whether Wang Jian would unite with Lu Chao at that time.
"General, can Wang Jian really use it for you at that time? Where he closes the door, he is the king of the big head, and he can be a powerful man, so why should he get involved in the chaos of the Central Plains again, isn't he asking for trouble? Xu Yahua asked.
"Good question!" Lu Chao clasped his palms together and said with a smile: "When I first found Wang Jian, I also had doubts, but Wang Jian agreed very happily, which really surprised me, and it wasn't until not long ago, after my newly sent people came back, that I figured out the reason." ”
"I don't know what reason can make Wang Jian agree to us so happily?" Xu Yahua was a little curious, thinking that if it was him, he would finally get rid of this quagmire, and he would not want to make a fuss again.
"The place occupied by Wang Jian was originally a small country, intriguing with each other, all day long either you beat me, or I beat you, the rise of the country and the destruction of the country, it is just a matter of a blink of an eye, it is precisely because of the chaos here that this place is fertile, rich in production, but always poor. But when Wang Jian appeared, it was very different, Wang Jian forcibly wiped out these guys who occupied the mountain as the king, and collected all this area under his rule, he established his own rule here in accordance with the system of my Great Qin, and in a short period of time, this place showed a strong vitality, do you know how many soldiers Wang Jian has now? Lu Chao asked with a smile.
"As you said earlier, after pacifying these small nations, he will only have the last 5,000 tribes left in his hands." Xu Yahua said.
"Yes, he relied on these 5,000 essence conditions to form a force of up to 50,000 people, this army that was completely established in accordance with the regulations of my Great Qin, under the training of Wang Jian, has begun to show combat effectiveness." Lu Chao said: "Wang Jian himself is the most outstanding general among the younger generation of my Great Qin. ”
"But the stronger he is. The more he has no reason to come back! Xu Yahua didn't understand Wang Jian's choice.
Lu Chao laughed, "There must be advantages, and it is not easy to be true." There is a neighbor in that area, I heard that it is very powerful, in the past, this neighbor did not pay attention to it, and did not bother to pay attention to it, but now Wang Jian has unified those under his own command and established a strong regime, in a short period of time. trained a force of up to tens of thousands of people, and this neighbor was not very relieved, this force that they didn't pay attention to at the beginning has now begun to threaten this neighbor, so now Wang Jian's life is not very easy. ”
Xu Yahua couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "How powerful is that neighbor?" Wang Jian now has tens of thousands of soldiers, but he is still afraid of the other party? ”
"I heard it's called a big food." Lu Chao smiled: "It's the first time I've heard this name, but it can make Wang Jian feel a headache, so naturally he is not an ordinary opponent." Wang Jian fought several battles with his opponents, but at first they all won. However, what annoyed Wang Jian was that the more he won, the more vigilant he was about convenience, and the more troops he had. What made Wang Jian even more uneasy was that this big cannibal believed in a religion and was very fanatical, and this sect was also very popular under his rule. So now Wang Jian has to deal with this big cannibal on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to guard against the riots that may occur under his rule. ”
"If you have too much time to take care of yourself, how can you help us?"
"It's because he's having a problem. That's why we came to mind. After the envoy I sent came back, I told me that Wang Jian was very jealous of this powerful neighbor, and at the border, he only adopted a defensive policy, and it was obvious that this neighbor was not something that Wang Jian's strength could deal with, so Wang Jian needed a helper and needed assistance. Daqin was naturally his best choice. ”
Xu Yahua pondered for a moment, "I understand, Wang Xiao died at the hands of the Han army, this revenge for killing his father, Wang Jian must be avenged, but general, have you ever thought about it, why did Wang Jian choose us instead of the imperial court, his father and son, but they are both generals of the Qin State!" What we're going to do is ......"
"Wang Jian hates the heart of King Qin, but I am afraid that he is not under the hatred of Gao Yuan." Lu Chao smiled and said: "Wang Xiao can also be regarded as a loyal and good general of Great Qin, but until he died, he still carried countless black cauldrons on his back, these black cauldrons are all for Daqin, but Daqin does not give Wang Xiao the treatment he deserves, because there are some things that the court does not want to carry on his back." ”
"The first one!" Lu Chao raised a finger: "Killing prisoners in the Huolan Mountain, Wang Xiao slaughtered tens of thousands of prisoners of war in one breath in order to rush to Hangu Pass to rescue the king in order to rush to the rescue of the king, but he was scolded back then, although in the end Wang Xiao rushed to Hangu Pass as quickly as possible, but he was rewarded afterwards, but he did not have his share." ”
"The second thing, and the one thing that makes Wang Xiao Wang cut the most sad, is the Jing Rufeng incident." Lu Chao sighed: "In order to make Jing Rufeng completely win the trust of the Zhao people, the victim was Wang Xiao's subordinates, and in the battle outside Hangu Pass, Wang Xiao's battle plan was secretly sent out, so that Wang Xiao was defeated by Jing Rufeng, and 20,000 Qin people died outside Hangu Pass, Wang Xiao was removed from the post of general because of this defeat and lived in Xianyang for many years. This battle, for Wang Xiao, is an inexplicable loss, carrying tens of thousands of lives and countless scoldings, as well as the punishment of the court, naturally it is extremely sad, and later Jing Rufeng secretly returned, the truth of this matter is naturally revealed, but it is impossible for the court to rehabilitate Wang Xiao, and it is even more impossible for the court to admit that the life of 20,000 sons was deliberately buried by himself, so this black cauldron, Wang Xiao has to carry it. Isn't this unbearable for a general? ”
Xu Yahua is face is also extremely ugly, Jing Rufeng matter, he is also the first time to hear, in the battle on the Guanzhong Plain, the Qin people won strangely, and the Zhao people lost strangely, it turned out that there were still these secrets in it, who would have thought that the general of the Zhao people was actually the fine work of the Qin people.
"Jing is like the wind, and there are really only a handful of people who know." Lu Chao Road. "It's normal that you don't know, you must know that at that time, General Meng Tian was under the suspicion of the previous king."
"In this way, it makes sense for Wang Jian to cooperate with us." Xu Yahua nodded and said, "Then I'll be relieved." ”
"Wang Jian is now dominating one side, naturally he is unwilling to come back and kneel to others, but he must not plan for his future, obviously, that enemy is not something he can deal with independently, he must use backup, this backup must also have strong force to help him, the current Qin State is obviously not good, what he needs is the Qin State more than ten years ago, so, he chose to help me, this is not a difficult thing for him, what he did was just that he crossed the desert again, Chen Jun Jishi County, He may not necessarily go to war directly with the Han people, but he will contain a large number of Han troops for me, and when such an army suddenly appears in Jishi County, where will the Han people transfer troops from? Of course, it is faster to transfer troops from their first military district, and they are in the northwest direction, but they don't have a regular army! I'm afraid that Gao Yuan will never think that across the desert, there is another world! If Wang Jian has the ability to bite off a piece of meat from Helanxiong at that time, it is also his ability. ”
"The general has no last resort, and the end will be admired by the five-body throw!" Xu Yahua sighed a little, Wang Jian is in the Central Plains, and he has almost been forgotten, and only a person like a general will spend a lot of energy to find it and let it become his help, such a person, how can Fan Sui's tenacious guy be an opponent.
"I can only think as much as possible, try to let myself have more helpers, those who calculate more win, and those who calculate less lose. What we do is against the sky, is there any reason not to calculate as much as possible? But the most important thing is to do our best, because to put it into practice, we still have to use our fists to speak in the end, General Xu, you have unique experience in leading troops and governing the army, and you will need more help in the future. ”
Xu Yahua stood up and clasped his fists with both hands: "I will definitely do my best to serve the general." ”
When Xu Yahua left, it was already dark, Lu Chao personally sent it outside the general's mansion, watched the departure of the second person under his command, and took Xu Yahua, the army can finally be called a monolith, and he also let go of a piece of heart.
The snow in the sky was falling very densely, raised his face, let the cold snowflakes hit his face, and his head that had been stuffy in the warm room for a long time suddenly became much clearer, and he stretched out his hand to wipe it, his face was full of coldness, and Lu Chao smiled strangely: "This snow, it should be heavier!" ”
This year's snow is more fierce than last year, so the law, I am afraid that there will be a lot of disasters in the country this year, and with the current situation of the imperial court, the disaster relief work is only afraid that it is not enough, and it is not easy to squeeze out some money, when the time comes, there will be few people who really fall into the hands of the victims, and a large number of refugees will inevitably emerge in the spring of next year, and they should be prepared for this winter and gather more food. It's just that you don't starve to death, give a bowl of rice, and dare to work for you with your head.
On the way back, Gou Yi emerged from the side like a ghost, "General, the businessman Guo Yun you want to see happens to be in Hangu Pass again today, I brought him to you, can you see him?" ”
"Oh, what a coincidence?" Lu Chao paused slightly, "Since you are here, you naturally want to see it, how can you do it if you don't see such a powerful guy?" ”
"Yes, I'll bring him here." Gou Yi bowed and retreated.
Back in the warm study, Lu Chao picked up the pen and wrote several official letters, next year's refugee flow needs to be dealt with in advance, in addition to food, there are also simple houses, all of which must be prepared in advance, and now most of the army has nothing to do, just allocate a part of it to let them do this, and save these energetic guys from being idle in the barracks all day long and causing some trouble.
I have land, food, and houses here, and I am afraid that those displaced people will not come? Wasn't that what Gao Yuan did at the beginning? (To be continued......)
