Chapter 123: Xuzhou borrows troops
Seeing Cui Yanxiang asking, Li Zhen smiled and said: "It's not a secret, Xuanwu Army Sun Jian conspired against him, and he came to borrow troops from you on the order of Zheng Zhijun!" ā
As he spoke, Li Zhen took out the talisman and put it on the case. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After hearing this, Cui Yan couldn't help laughing loudly, and said: "Hahaha, counterinsurgency and bandit suppression are the responsibility of the envoys, but it's just ......"
"Hehe, it seems that Cui Yuanjun is in trouble!" Li Zhen said with a smile, Cui Yan had expected such an attitude, so he was naturally not surprised.
"It's not difficult, but the soldiers and horses in the territory under the jurisdiction of this envoy are all scattered in various states, and it will take some time to mobilize!" Cui Yan frowned and replied.
"Oh? I don't know how much time it will take for Cui Yuanjun? How many troops and horses can be mobilized? Li Zhen then asked.
Cui Yan thought for a while and replied: "It will take at least five days, and I can mobilize 10,000 soldiers and horses!" ā
After hearing this, Li Zhen couldn't help sneering in his heart, and then said slowly: "Before coming to Henan, Princess Yanqing handed over the next thing, I don't know if you can still recognize it?" ā
As he spoke, Li Zhen took out Princess Yanqing's fish talisman again.
After seeing this, I saw Cui Yan's face change slightly, and then got up and walked quickly to Li Zhen, took the fish talisman and looked at it carefully for a while, "It's really the fish talisman of Her Royal Highness Princess Yanqing!" ā
"Originally, I didn't want to make the king come forward, after all, before that, His Majesty had a clever insight into the opportunity, and he had already handed over the 100,000 divine army to me, if the envoy didn't believe it, he could send someone to Tongguan to find out, and it was enough to deal with the Xuanwu rebels, but Her Royal Highness the princess once said to the princess that Cui Yuanjun would definitely help when he saw this fish talisman, and he didn't believe it, so he made a bet with Her Royal Highness the princess!"
"What bet?" Cui Yan's complexion changed slightly.
"Hehe, if Cui Zhijun mobilizes 30,000 soldiers and horses in one day, then His Royal Highness will win, and the Shence army will not be able to defend Tongguan, if it can't be done, it will be won in Xia, and when the time comes, 100,000 Shence troops will take Bianzhou directly, and then I hope that Cui Zhijun will make it convenient!" Li Zhen said with a smile.
Cui Yan naturally understood what Li Zhen meant, and the bet with Princess Yanqing was just a pretense, Li Zhen's real intention was to borrow from himself, and the 100,000 Shence army came to take Bianzhou directly, so it was bound to pass through his own territory, and no one could say whether the 100,000 army would carry his loyal army and beat it together.
For Cui Yan, no matter what, he couldn't let these 100,000 divine forces step out of Tongguan.
But Cui Yan can't just rely on Li Zhen's words or two to bluff, although Princess Yanqing has the grace of reinvention in herself, but after all, it is now a matter of her own future, and she doesn't dare to be careless no matter what.
"Hehe, if Tongguan really has a hundred thousand divine troops, then how can the Xuanwu rebels blockade Tongguan? Ze Yuanxian's nephew really thinks that he doesn't know anything? Cui Yan sat back down and said with a smile.
"Oh? It seems that every move of the Xuanwu rebels can't escape Cui Yuanjun's eyes! Li Zhen waited for Cui Yan's words, which means that Cui Yan already knew the movements of the Xuanwu rebels, but he concealed it, and even closed the gate of Xuzhou.
And Cui Yan also realized that he was speechless in an instant, and immediately his face became pale and uncertain, and he couldn't help but say angrily to Li Zhen: "Li Zhen, don't use your little cleverness to fool the envoy, don't forget that this is Xuzhou!" ā
"Hahaha! It turns out that the source of this sentence is Cui Yuanjun, no wonder the defenders outside the city also said the same thing to Zaixia, yes, this is Xuzhou, but is it still Xuzhou outside Xuzhou? I believe that there will always be someone who can make your Xuzhou no longer Xuzhou! ā
Seeing that Cui Yan was silent, Li Zhen then said: "In fact, Her Royal Highness Princess Yanqing has high hopes for Cui Yuanjun, so she let her come to Xuzhou to chat with the envoy, and now the Xuanwu Army is in rebellion, and it has controlled most of Henan Province in just a few days. ā
"Having said that, in fact, it doesn't matter if there is a Shence army outside Tongguan, even if there is no today, there will be tomorrow, the important thing is Cui Yuanjun's attitude at this time, his attitude towards the court, and his majesty's attitude, if the envoy thinks that the Xuanwu rebels can fight to Chang'an in one go, now you can kill me, if not, hehe, I think Cui Yuanjun knows how to do it!"
When Li Zhen said this, he was already sweating, and Cui Yan could have left himself in Xuzhou forever, and then casually blamed the rebels afterwards.
The battle on the battlefield is the arrangement of troops and the skill of killing, and at this time the contest is the deceit and scheming, although there is no bloody killing on the battlefield, but there is no doubt that the same is the line of life and death, the same is the abyss.
Cui Yan didn't answer for a long time, even the surrounding generals were silent, Li Zhen said well, the rebellion of the Xuanwu Army is a foregone conclusion, and with its strength, it will never be the opponent of the Shence Army, maybe tomorrow 100,000 Shence Army will take Bianzhou directly, just after the Xuanwu Rebellion is pacified, it will be time for Li Chen to settle with himself.
In fact, Cui Yan has never understood why Sun Jian would do such a stupid thing, don't say that a Xuanwu army is to add his own loyal army, and even all the soldiers and horses of Henan Zhudao are not enough to compete with the imperial court.
And Cui Yan also had another intention in his heart before, when the imperial army sent troops, he would take the opportunity to bite the Xuanwu Army again, and finally it would not be a problem for him to take advantage of the fishermen and collect two or three states of the Xuanwu Army.
But Cui Yan never expected that Li Zhen would go directly to his house to borrow troops, and Cui Yan had no other choice at this point.
Thinking of this, Cui Yan slowly raised his head and said to Li Zhen: "In this case, this envoy will mobilize soldiers and horses, and at the latest tomorrow, at this time, this envoy will personally lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to quell the rebellion!" ā
After hearing this, Li Zhen smiled and said: "Cui Yuanjun is worthy of being my loyal and upright minister of the Tang Dynasty, and this time he will definitely ask His Majesty for merit, but ......"
Speaking of this, Li Zhen looked at Cui Yan, and then continued to say slowly: "But Cui Yuanjun doesn't have to go, it's just that you can bring 10,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in the Bianzhou area, and the other 20,000 soldiers and horses will be handed over to you!" ā
Cui Yan and the generals suddenly changed their faces after hearing this, and let themselves hand over the army to Li Zhen, wouldn't it be equivalent to handing over all the hole cards themselves.
Seeing this, Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, it seems that Cui Yuanjun can't trust it, which is understandable, but can't you still trust Her Royal Highness the Princess?" If you can't even trust Her Royal Highness the Princess, may I ask you, do you have any other choice? ā
