Chapter 936: The Liangzhou Army Messenger Arrives (continued)
When Shi Jian and the others heard this, although their minds were naturally inferior to their own generals, they thought about it a little, and they both scolded secretly in their hearts, saying that this king and them are really treacherous, isn't this just forcing themselves to bleed, or why didn't they directly ask for how many materials to redeem Lu Jian.
Yes, even Xu Huang didn't know the specific intentions of the three of them, let alone these two, after all, they were not as good as Xu Huang, no, so what else could be expected of them.
Shi Jian said again, "General, this king and their guys are too bullying!" If you want our army to bleed heavily for Lu Jian, it's good to think about it, I ......"
Shi Jian originally wanted to say that our army would not be able to fall for them, but when this came to his lips, he couldn't say it. After all, now from top to bottom, from his own general, to his two of them, to the ordinary soldiers of the Yanzhou Army after that, it can be said that they are all waiting for Lu Jian to come back. So can you say this, what you know is that you understand that you are thinking about yourself, but if you don't know Lu Dao, you can't keep thinking that you don't want Lu Jian to come back. So this black cauldron, I can't carry it-
However, if Lu Jian doesn't speak, it doesn't mean that others don't say it, of course, it must be said in another way, at least it won't make people feel that he doesn't want Lu Jian to come back, and he doesn't mean that in the first place.
Shi Lian said half of this, and then he didn't speak, and Xu Huang didn't squeak. However, his other lieutenant general spoke at this time.
"General, although the Liangzhou army fought wishy-washy. But our army could not let them do so easily. General Lu Jian must be redeemed, but he can't let the Liangzhou army take advantage of it too much! β
When Xu Huang heard this, he asked directly, "But I don't know what you can do?" β
To be honest, Xu Huang really didn't expect too much from others, after all, he didn't have anything to do about it. But even if the Liangzhou Junwang and a few of them succeeded, he was also unwilling. Even if he could redeem Lu Jian, he would have already been planted in Fangling. If this allows the other party to succeed again, won't this heel be even bigger-
So even Xu Huang didn't have much hope for his two subordinates. But he still had a hint of luck. asked the other party, in his opinion, the so-called one person is short-minded, in case there is any good idea that he doesn't know about himself. Then I'll just pick it up.
And the adjutant listened. I panicked, and I said that I had any good ideas. But he definitely couldn't say this, so he racked his brains, and after a while, his eyes rolled, and then he said to Xu Huanghe the truth, "General, the last general thinks." Our army should use military rations to redeem General Lu Jian! β
Xu Huang heard this. said to him, "Then in your opinion, how much grain and grass should our army use to redeem General Lu?" β
The adjutant general said: "General, the last general thinks that now it is not how much grain and grass our army wants to use to redeem General Lu Jian, but from the existing grain and grass of our army, it is enough to take out thirty percent!" β
Xu Huang and Shi Jian heard that thirty percent of the grain and grass now, to be honest, is not particularly much, because there is not much grain and grass on their own side-
But this is not the case, after Xu Huang listened to the words of his subordinates, he already knew what the other party meant.
Yes, this is not about the amount of materials you have taken out, it is said that you have taken out 30% of the existing grain and grass, which is nearly one-third, although the number is indeed not a lot, but it is what you can take out now, and it is nearly one-third of the total grain and grass, which can be said to be extremely important to yourself.
So will the Liangzhou army disagree, after Lu Jian and his own soldiers know that Lu Jian will think that they look down on Lu Jian, of course they won't, so if they all feel that they are not doing well, then they really have nothing to say as a general.
So after listening to the advice of his subordinates, Xu Huang nodded rarely, and then said to Shi Lian: "I don't know what you think?" β
Shi Jian hurriedly replied, "If you return to the general's words, the last general thinks it's good, our army uses nearly one-third of the grain and grass to redeem General Lu, and the Liangzhou army will definitely not say anything if you want to come here!" βββ
Xu Huang smiled when he heard this, "Yes, but who said that our army used nearly one-third of the grain and grass to ransom General Lu Jian?" No, our army used forty percent of the grain and grass to ransom General Lu Jian! β
When the two lieutenants heard this, they were slightly stunned, and then took a closer look at their general's expression, but they understood at this time.
Shi Lian's reaction was not slow, and he hurriedly laughed, "Yes, but the general's words are good." The last general could see clearly that the general used forty percent of our army's grain and grass to exchange General Lu Jian with the Liangzhou army! β
The other one was also not to be outdone, and said the same after Shi Jian finished speaking. When Xu Huang heard this, he was satisfied. Fortunately, his subordinates were not slow to react, after all, there is not so much grain and grass on his side now, so he has to use nearly one-third of the grain and grass, falsely claiming to be forty percent of the grain and grass, to exchange with the Liangzhou army. As for the soldiers, they don't know these things, but now the one in charge of the grain and grass is their own henchmen, so there is no problem at all.
As for saying that he has taken out so much grain and grass, how to explain to his soldiers, this is not a big problem at all-
Why do you say that, it's because you are taking the grain and grass to do serious things. It's not greedy for ink, and it's not misappropriation, so it should be said that the vast majority of your own soldiers. Yes, you will understand. At this point, it can be said that Xu Huang is still very confident, and he also believes that his own soldiers are absolutely understandable. After all, most of them really want Lu Jian to come back, even if Lu Jian is captured, it is very embarrassing. But that doesn't mean they don't want him back.
It's just that there is still a problem, after he takes out thirty percent of his current grain and grass, he has to rush to Xiangyang immediately. There can be no further delay, and even this time has to be set off. After all, if you don't take out 30% of the grain and grass, your own grain and grass will still be enough, but if you take out the grain. There is no 30% of the grain and grass. Then you will be unlucky. It is estimated that if it slows down, your own grain and grass will be insufficient, and you will be exhausted, and you will be unlucky before you reach Xiangyang at that time.
So in order to avoid this kind of thing from happening, Xu Huang decided to send someone to escort Sancheng of the grain and grass to Fangling, and at the same time let his side rest well. immediately hit the road and rushed to Xiangyangββ
I have to say. Xu Huang is really very experienced and has some brains. At least the two lieutenants under him didn't expect so much, so they could only be lieutenants, and Xu Huang was the general in charge.
After thinking about all this, Xu Huang told Shi Jian and the others his thoughts, and when the two of them heard it, their eyes lit up. The heart said that he had to be his own general, so to speak, such an idea, it should be two without delay, how good is this. So that's how it should be, how it should be.
In the end, the two of them agreed unanimously, and they would do what the general said, and there was absolutely no problem, unless the Liangzhou Army repented, but is this possible.
Others don't know what to do, but Xu Huang knows it, this thing is basically impossible. Not to mention that the Liangzhou army has already sent messengers to find him, just put this aside, just say that Lu Jianqi is not very capable, so can he be valued by the Liangzhou army Xu Huang shook his head in his heart, Wang Yan If they can take a fancy to Lu Jian, it would be strange. That's why I now let myself use materials to redeem people, after all, for them, a dead Lu Jian is not as good as grain, grass and materials or something-
The so-called is to push himself and others, in Xu Huang's eyes, if he is Wang and them, he has to do it like them, so what else is there to believe, they Liangzhou Army, can they still regret it.
After seeing that both of his subordinates agreed, Xu Huang said, "Okay, since the two of you have also agreed at this time, then let people ask the Liangzhou Army messenger to come over!" β
Shi Jian and the two nodded when they heard this, and then Xu Huang asked people to invite the Liangzhou Army messenger who went to rest, and as soon as the messenger heard that Xu Huang wanted to see him, he knew that Xu Huang agreed to this matter. Of course, there are still those two percent, but he doesn't agree, but this matter, he said that it is basically impossible, don't you still believe that you are handsome?
The Liangzhou army messenger came to Xu Huang's Chinese army tent, and after seeing him, he hurriedly saluted and said, "I've seen General Xu!" β
After that, he also bowed his hand to Shi Jian and the others, which can be regarded as having seen it.
Xu Huang smiled, "Messenger, please take a seat!" βββ
Although the other party is just a pawn, after all, he said that he represents the entire Liangzhou army, so of course Xu Huang didn't let him stand, how to say that the other party still has a prisoner of his own, so Xu Huang is actually quite polite.
After the messenger thanked him, he sat down directly, and he also knew that Xu Huang saw that he represented the Liangzhou army, not himself, so of course he was not allowed to sit down. And he knew in his heart that what he said and did represented was his own side, the handsome Wang and his two generals, so he must not be embarrassed by them.
After the Liangzhou military messenger sat down, he listened to Xu Huang say, "I already know the content of the letter sent by the messenger. After discussing with the two lieutenant generals before, they naturally agreed to the proposal of several generals of your army, and our army was willing to use materials to redeem General Lu Jian! β
"What does the general mean exactly?"
Xu Huang said, "Our army is willing to exchange forty percent of the grain and grass for General Lu Jian." I wonder if the Messenger has done the Lord? β
In Xu Huang's opinion, before the other party left, Wang Yan and the others should have told the messenger their bottom line. So he thinks that the Messenger should be able to call the shots. After all, if the messenger can't be the master of this matter, and when he delivers the materials, but the other party says no, then who has the time and energy to deliver things back and forth? Anyway, I must not have it-
As a result, when the messenger heard this, he quickly shook his head. Xu Huang looked at it, and his heart was chuckled, and he said something. Didn't the king say anything? So, this, what does the other party mean? Do you have to send all your supplies? Or do you want to ......
Xu Huang didn't doubt Wang Yan's sincerity in wanting to release Lu Jian back, but for Wang Yan, how much material they wanted. This question. Xu Huang is indeed bottomless. However, after the previous discussion, he thinks that the other party is still insatiable for 30% of his own grain and grass? If these are not enough, if they are not enough, then what do they want, and how much do they want?
As a result, before Xu Huang could speak, the messenger spoke. "General, my marshal really didn't say anything to me. So it's really impossible to be the master. But I think there should be no problem, the general might as well give it a try, I don't know if that's okay? β
When Xu Huang heard this, the messenger sent by Wang and them was still a well-spoken one, at least in front of him, he was indeed able to talk eloquently, which was indeed good. It's a pity that he can't be the master of this matter, this is really ......-
But although this is the case, Xu Huang also has to admit that what the other party said is indeed reasonable.
After all, you said that you were willing to use thirty percent, and falsely claimed that it was forty percent of the grain and grass to redeem Lu Jian. Thinking about it, if he was Wang and them, he would absolutely agree, so it is estimated that Wang and they would not refuse. At this time, Xu Huang's confidence is back, originally, if these are not good, if they are not enough, then Wang and his wife are really gluttonous, so insatiable, there is absolutely no good end.
Now I meet myself, and I can be regarded as "under the roof". But if it were someone else, or someone who was even harder to talk, would the other person be like him, or would he be the same as himself? Absolutely not, at least I have no choice, I am indeed helpless, so I have to compromise with Wang Yan and their Liangzhou army, otherwise I wouldn't be like this, isn't it.
So after Xu Huang listened to the messenger's words, he also nodded slightly, you said that it was this time, and he could only do what he suggested, after all, he hadn't seen any hope for other roads-
And since Wang and his wife have already drawn the way, then they can just follow their path.
Originally, whatever you want to do, you will accompany you to the end, even if you want to fight again, I don't dare to fight with you again, but now, it is impossible to have such a chance for the time being.
So Xu Huang smiled at the messenger, "The messenger's words are good, so I will let my subordinate deputy general, Shi Lian, work with the messenger to escort the grain and grass back to Fangling!" Messenger, is that good?
Of course, the messenger will not object, after all, now that Xu Huang has compromised, then it is good to compromise. In fact, before he came here, of course, it was impossible for him not to say anything to himself, but he really didn't say anything about his bottom line, but just said that as long as Xu Gongming had similar conditions, he would let him send someone to Fangling. And the messenger remembers these words clearly, and I guess he will not forget them in his life.
The messenger said, "In this case, it is up to the general! β
When several people heard this, they all nodded, and this matter was solved for the time being. After that, it's up to the king and them, and that's not something for the messenger to decideβ
Seeing that this matter had been resolved for the time being, Xu Huang and the three of them were very happy. After all, that is actually very good, and quite right, that is, "a good beginning is half the success", since there is a good beginning now, then I believe that this matter will be successful.
After thinking of this, Xu Huang commanded, "Shi Lian! β
"The last general!"
"I order you to arrange it immediately, prepare the grain and grass, and then set off with the messenger to Fangling!"
"No! The last general commands! β
The Liangzhou military messenger looked at it, and said in his heart Xu Huang Xu Gongming, he is really resolute, does not hesitate to do things, and does not drag the mud and water at all, he is indeed a general, and he is also a strong enemy of his own side.
After that, Xu Huang said to the messenger, "I wonder if the messenger wants to go with him?" βββ
The Liangzhou military messenger smiled when he heard this, "No need, just wait here for General Shi to arrange it!" β
Xu Huang also smiled and didn't say anything more. (To be continued......)
