Chapter 426 Increasing Troops in Guanzhong (Fifth Update)
"Why, have they been suspecting that this king is untrustworthy and wants to rely on the 20,000 stone of grain?" Liu Ping said angrily.
"Could it be...... The king has been preparing to return it? Wei Su's eyes widened.
The reason why there are so many turmoil is based on the judgment that Liu Ping will borrow grain and not pay it back, if Liu Ping can really keep his promise and pay off the grain, then how can there be so many things?
But Wei Su obviously saw that the grain had been transported away, and no new grain had been brought in, so what else did Liu Ping want to take?
"So you think so?"
Liu Ping laughed dumbly, dragged Wei Su up from the ground, forcibly took her hand and said, "Come with me and take you to see good things." ”
When the two came to the gate of the palace, they immediately had their own soldiers bring Dawan horses over.
Liu Ping hugged Wei Suheng on the horse, and then shook the reins, Dawan neighed, and the four hooves galloped through the streets of Chang'an, with hundreds of cavalry guards behind him, and the sound of the horse's hooves was like a storm, which seemed full of momentum.
Wei Su curled up in Liu Ping's arms, feeling supreme satisfaction.
It seems that giving himself to the person in front of him is a blessing in disguise, otherwise marrying those so-called sons of the family, how can there be such manhood.
It's just that she still doesn't understand, Liu Ping suddenly wants to take her to see something good.
As they spoke, they came to the gate of a large courtyard, which was guarded by soldiers.
However, as soon as they saw Liu Ping coming, all the soldiers bowed down and saluted, shouting in unison: "See the king!" ”
Liu Ping dismounted, hugged Wei Su down, took her hand, and entered the gate, only to see dozens of huge granaries inside the door.
"Just look at it!"
Liu Ping casually ordered someone to open a granary, only to see that the granary was full of grain, and opened two more, each of which was full.
"Is this king a person who can't afford to pay back the Wei family's grain?"
The scene in front of him had already stunned Wei Su.
She had also seen the grain she had accumulated for many generations, and although she couldn't calculate how much, she could judge that it was definitely not as much as what was contained in these huge granaries in front of her.
Since Liu Ping has the grain in his hand and promised to return it, aren't all those worries in the past superfluous?
"The King...... How could you suddenly have so much food ......"
Liu Ping smiled, did not answer directly, but smiled slightly and said, "Now you should rest assured." ”
"I'm sorry, it's our Wei family who lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I always thought that the king couldn't get the grain, but I didn't expect that the king was much richer than the Wei family." Wei Su said cautiously: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked more about these things, let the king reveal these secrets to me." ”
"If you know it's a secret, don't give it away, understand?" Liu Pingdao.
"Understood!" Wei Su nodded heavily, feeling a sense of satisfaction that he had been recognized for sharing the secret.
However, she immediately wondered: "But since the king has so much grain, why should he borrow it from the Wei family?" ”
"That's because these grains have just been delivered, and there is a time lag in between, so we must use the Wei family's grain to resist for a while."
"Don't say it to the king, these are military secrets, it's inconvenient for the little girl to know, the king can tell him so frankly, the little girl is already very content."
"Well, I brought you here today just to make you feel at ease, as long as the date comes, I will naturally return the Wei family's grain with interest, and you don't have to worry. And I know that the Wei family has been blackmailing you with your mother, and if you want, you can take your mother to live in the palace, so that no one will dare to bully you. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Wei Su was already moved.
If you can really take the mother out of Merriam-Webster's control, it will be perfect.
She suddenly felt like she was going to melt, as if she was ...... Take the initiative to give a hug to ...... It's not that you can't......
"The King...... Can I go home and see my mother first...... I miss her so much......"
"What's wrong with that?" Liu Ping thought about it, the Wei family's mansion was more than ten miles south of Chang'an City, Wei Su's girl's house, it was obviously not safe to drive these ten miles, he said: "This army is in chaos, if you want to go back, I will send soldiers to escort you." ”
……
At the same time, Xu Du, in the Prime Minister's Mansion, all the civil and military forces were there.
Cao Cao knelt in the center, holding a letter in his hand, his eyes glanced at the people in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "According to the report, Yuan Shangxiao'er has forced Guo Yuan to send troops from Hedong and march into Guanzhong.
Northwest Ma Teng Han Sui also has the intention of going east, as for Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, Yuan Shang should also be invited, but his current movement is unknown.
Do you think Ping'er can hold out in Guanzhong?
Can you hold on to Yecheng alone? ”
He asked Liu Ping to lead his army to garrison Guanzhong, originally to be able to block the flank of the Central Plains, so that he could cross the Yellow River with confidence and sweep the four states of Hebei.
But now that Yuan Shang is attacking Chang'an on three roads, if Liu Ping can't hold it, he doesn't dare to cross the river to the north with confidence.
At this time, Cao Ang stood up and said loudly: "Father, Brother Liu Pingxian only has 10,000 men under his command, and he said in his letter that he has been divided into three ways to defend it, so he only has 3,000 people on each road, and the difference between the enemy and me is too great, I am afraid that Brother Liu Pingxian will not last long."
At this time, he thought that he should increase troops to Guanzhong, stick to Guanzhong, stabilize the Central Plains, and then Xutu Hebei. ”
"There is some truth in what Ang'er said," Cao Cao nodded, relieved that Cao Ang could have this insight.
The Central Plains is their Cao family's stronghold, and it must not be lost, but Guanzhong is a strategic place that can threaten the Central Plains, so sticking to Guanzhong is actually ensuring the safety of the Central Plains to the greatest extent.
Under the condition that these two places are stable at the same time, and then slowly march to Hebei, steady and steady, it is the most appropriate choice.
"Although the strategy of the prince is safe, it is not the best strategy," Guo Jia suddenly coughed twice, stood up and said: "After the battle of Guandu, Hebei's elite was lost, and it was a good opportunity for the prime minister to calm down and recover the four states in one fell swoop."
If according to the policy of the prince of the world, increase the troops in Guanzhong, then the march into Hebei will inevitably be much slower, and when the four states of Hebei are relieved, I don't know what year and month it will take again.
Therefore, according to the following opinion, Cheng correspondingly immediately marched into Hebei.
As long as Yecheng is breached, the siege of the three armies in the fortress will retreat. ”
"How can Yecheng be taken overnight?" Cao Ang hurriedly said: "If it is a little sluggish, how can Liu Pingxian's little strength withstand the three-way attack in Guanzhong?" ”
Cao Ang really couldn't understand why Guo Jia and Liu Ping seemed to have a good relationship before, at least Guo Jia liked Liu Ping's wine very much, why did he prevent him from increasing troops in Guanzhong now.
"The eldest prince and Ping Gongzi are like brothers, don't you know Ping Gongzi's ability?" Guo Jia said indifferently: "With the ability of Prince Ping, it is not easy for the three parties to win Guanzhong, and they can naturally leave enough time for the prime minister to level Hebei." ”
