Chapter 881 Negotiation!
Song Wensong was happy in Yincheng, and a few days later, Su Zhi and Cao Weiming entered the northwest under the secret guard of the personal guard.
After arriving in the northwest, they contacted Long Lingxiu's secret spy in the northwest, and after the two sides handed over, the other party really gave them a bunch of people, Su Zhi looked at these horses, all of them were stupid and black, the key was that there were very few cavalry, and the weapons and equipment were poor, and there were no more than 10,000 people.
He thought to himself, just rely on these people to win Song Wensong's trust?
"General Su, the princess said, for Song Wensong, determination is the most important thing! As long as he inspires his faith, and then lets him go all out, Liangzhou will definitely be won by him.
The crux of the matter is that I am afraid that he will look ahead and have scruples, this time there is a general, you will definitely be able to get this matter done! ”
Su Zhi sighed softly, and turned to find Cao Weiming and the two to discuss, Cao Weiming said: "The matter has come to this, and we can only be dead horses as live horse doctors!"
After all, there are more than 10,000 people here, and among them, we have cleaned up a little, and with the flag, it can be regarded as an army! Don't forget that we still have tens of thousands of people south of Bingzhou. If Song Wensong can really be used by the princess, then we will send troops together to attack and merge the state, take the merger, and then turn around and go back to deal with Liangzhou, so that not only the northwest can be determined, but also the south can look south to the Central Plains, in a word, everyone works together, and there are big things to do! ”
Su Zhi nodded and said, "Okay, I just like General Cao's pride, you and I will go to Yincheng to see Song Wensong together!" ”
After that, even if the two of them led the nearly 10,000 rabble to go straight to Yincheng, when they arrived outside Yincheng, Song Wensong sent heavyweight officials to greet them, and the two of them each led their guards into the city, and the honor guards along the way were really painstaking.
Seeing this scene, Cao Weiming had a bottom in his heart, and said to Su Zhi: "General Su, you see that this Song Wensong is also in a hurry!" I'm afraid that he wants to take Liangzhou in his dreams, and you and I will definitely be able to make him succumb later! ”
Su Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that Song Wensong and I don't have much to do with him, and General Cao has stabilized the situation a lot!" ”
While the two were talking, Song Wensong's house arrived, and the two were invited into the living room.
"The two generals came thousands of miles, and the journey was tiring, Song really admired it! Since you're here, let's take a look at my northwest, take a look, and appreciate my northwest! ”
Su Zhi stood up and saluted Song Wensong and said: "General Song's prestige is known to the world, but Su Zhi has never met the general before. ”
He paused, and then changed his words and said: "I and General Cao have admired the customs of the northwest for a long time, but the northwest sky is not all owned by General Song, which is a great pity!" ”
Song Wensong laughed and said: "I, Song, like General Su, is a fast-talking person, this time Song is fortunate to be favored by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and Her Royal Highness the princess sent two generals to help Song, I believe that the world in the west should be turned upside down, the two said yes or no?" ”
The three of them looked at each other, and they all laughed, the three people on the scene, Su Zhi, was the most immature, and strictly speaking, his weight was also the lightest. But in the past few years, after all, he has led the army to power, and he was born in the Su family, so he can be regarded as a bit of a city government and skill.
As for Song Wensong and Cao Weiming, they are both people who have become elites, and the three of them are playing haha together, and there is a deep game behind them!
The servants and maids shuttled like a marquee, served tea and snacks, and after everyone tasted tea, Song Wensong prepared a banquet to entertain the two, on the banquet, after the five flavors of the dish and the three rounds of wine, Song Wensong said again:
"Two generals, how are you going to help me this time? I believe that both of them are battle-hardened people, so they should have a path in mind, right? ”
Cao Weiming said: "General Song, you are bent on taking Liangzhou, hehe, everyone knows this!" However, before the general wants to take Liangzhou, he needs to take and merge the state first! After winning the state, Liangzhou can be broken, and the northwest can be determined! ”
"Oh?" Song Wensong raised his eyebrows and said, "General Cao, do you mean to make enemies with Lu Zheng?" Lu Zheng's combat power is known to the world, and I, Song Wensong, have a stable foothold in the northwest, how can I provoke him? Isn't that a fire? ”
Cao Weiming was stunned for a moment, he didn't know how to answer for a while, he saw that the group of generals and strategists around Song Wensong were all cold-eyed, and he was a little impatient in his heart, and he couldn't help but say:
"General Song, since you want to recognize the eldest princess, you have to listen to the order of the eldest princess. Taking down and taking the governor is the meaning of the eldest princess, does General Song have to be duplicitous? ”
As soon as Cao Weiming said this, the banquet was silent in an instant, Song Wensong's face became very ugly, and the generals of the Northwest Army also suddenly rose up one by one, looking at the posture to make a move!
You must know that the Northwest Army is the most arrogant, and Song Wensong is also an extremely proud person, what is Cao Weiming's words? The relationship between Song Wensong and Long Lingxiu is an alliance, and there is no allegiance at all, is Cao Weiming humiliating him Song Wensong?
The situation suddenly became tense, and at this moment, Di Qinghai smiled and said, "General Cao, you have misunderstood our lord." My lord and Lu Zheng are brothers, the two swear never to offend each other, the general wants the lord to attack and annex the state, that is to make the lord treacherous, I'm afraid no one will be happy to hear these words! ”
Cao Weiming opened his mouth, but after all, he couldn't say anything more, and the situation was embarrassing. Su Zhi was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, he thought that he wanted Cao Weiming to come over as the protagonist, but he didn't expect that although Cao Weiming was an old man and a hero, he had the ability to fight, but this kind of negotiation was his weakness.
At this time, Cao Weiming was anxious about his own little bit of people in his heart, and his words naturally became excessive, didn't the two sides freeze?
It is also Song Wensong's temper that has softened a lot in recent years, and there is another point, that is, Song Wensong's wings are not hard at the moment, and he can't completely swoop in the northwest, otherwise, with Song Wensong's temper, an arrogant person like Cao Weiming, he directly pulled out his sword is the result.
Su Zhi was so anxious that he was sweating, fortunately, he was born in the Su family, and he knew a lot about these twists and turns, so he immediately said: "Okay, our General Cao is also drinking, and the words on the wine table can't be taken seriously!" ”
Song Wensong looked around and said, "Since you are drunk, the banquet will end here, and you will all withdraw!" ”
The banquet broke up unhappily, Su Zhi hurriedly followed Song Wensong, and the two entered the living room, Su Zhi said: "General Song, today's banquet is unhappily dispersed, but I just think that this time we will definitely succeed!" ”
Song Wensong looked at Su Zhi, he looked him up and down for a long time, and said: "Su Zhi, I am most familiar with your name, when I was in Liaodong, many generals of the Liaodong Army gritted their teeth when they mentioned your name, and they wanted to eat you alive!" Hehe, Lu Zheng is such an arrogant person, you dare to pit him, and he can be regarded as the number one person.
Lu Zheng said that you are ambitious and talented, but when I see you today, I think you are a talent! Okay, what Cao Weiming said, I only treat him as a fart, you tell me, what do you think? ”
Su Zhi said: "The eldest princess has now controlled the situation in the Central Plains, and the next person Song Wensong wants to fight in the Central Plains is the eldest princess!"
The eldest princess accepted Tan Lei, and my tens of thousands of horses and horses were also surrendered, and Cao Weiming's tens of thousands of horses and horses will also fall into her hands, Long Zhaoyan is an empty shelf, which is not worth mentioning at all!
The eldest princess wants to cooperate with General Song this time, first, I really hope that the northwest can be quickly unified, only when the northwest is unified, the general can contain Lu Zheng, so that the Central Plains will have a chance to breathe! This general should understand! ”
Song Wensong nodded and said, "You are honest, since this is the case, then tell me how I can dominate the northwest?" Long Lingxiu wants the benefits of my side, she can't empty the gloves of the white wolf, right? ”
Su Zhi said: "Don't worry, general, I came here this time and brought 20,000 horses, and now I am outside the city, and these horses can be transferred by the general!"
There are another 20,000 horses that are Cao Weiming's men and horses, and now these 20,000 people are trapped between Bingzhou and Miaocheng! We will immediately attack and annex the state, and we will relieve the siege of 20,000 people!
With 20,000 horses, the general will have 100,000 horses! We can attack Liangzhou immediately, and we are optimistic that we will be able to complete the war within two months, general, what are you hesitating about? ”
Song Wensong smiled and said: "Bingzhou has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Lu Zheng eats dry rice?" Can he not be guarded?
Besides, the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Liaodong Army is in the Central Plains, provoking Lu Zheng, and he will attack and merge the state again, how can our Northwest Army fight him? Did I Song Wensong set myself on fire? ”
Su Zhi laughed and said, "General Song, you can rest assured, Lu Zheng will definitely not be the first to attack the northwest!" It's also going to be difficult for him now.
I cut off the grain road in the south of the Yangtze River for him, Cao Weiming, the grain road in the Central Plains, is sitting in your tent now, Liaodong is a place where there is no food, if Lu Zheng can't stand in the Central Plains, his iron horses will all starve to death!
In this case, he came to attack the northwest, and what did he gain by taking the northwest? Can I get food? Without food, taking the northwest is a huge burden, unless Lu Zheng is crazy, otherwise why would he give up the rich Central Plains instead of taking it, but take the northwest? ”
Song Wensong frowned slightly, his face was cloudy, he groaned for a while, but he still couldn't help but say: "Hmph, since the Central Plains is a place that Lu Zheng will inevitably get, I can operate in the northwest with peace of mind, so why do I have to go to the country to make enemies of Lu Zheng?" ”
Su Zhi sneered and said, "General Song, don't say things against your will, the only person in this world who can compete with the general is Lu Zheng." The Northwest and the Central Plains are cold lips and teeth, if the Central Plains are finished, can the general still live alone in the Northwest? I'm afraid that by that time, the northwest will be isolated, and the general will no longer have allies to support! Once that happens, the Xibei Song family will cease to exist! ”
