When he was young, the guards led Zhao Anling into the lobby, and when he saw Gongliangxiu, he first raised his hand and saluted, and then turned his gaze to Gongliangyi sitting in the hall:

"Doctor Gongliang, don't come unharmed, this should be the Gongliang Commander."

"Mr. Zhao is my clan, so there is no need to be polite."

Righteous and righteous, Zhao Anling still saluted again:

"Having said that, there should still be courtesy."

Gongliang and Zhao family are originally the same root, both are the law royal family Zhao surname lineage, after the fall of the law country, the Zhao family was divided into two, one line fled to Xianguo, one line into Zhiguo, soon changed the surname Gongliang, speaking of the two families are the same lineage.

Having said that, Zhao Anling is a politician and knows very well in his heart, not to mention that the Zhao family and the Gongliang family were cut in two because of the Zhiguo attack on the Xianguo land cut, and now they are their own masters, the interests of the country are supreme, and the family blood is just a bargaining chip to win over interests, and they can be sold at any time for the sake of interests.

Seeing that Zhao Anling's reaction was mediocre, Gong Liangyi did not mention the family matter, but went straight to the point:

"Mr. Zhao, I don't know what happened to the Marquis of Yongxing?"

"Don't hide it from the marshal, Yongxing Hou wants to borrow your army's navy, I don't know what the marshal wants."

"Hiss......" Gongliangyi was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "What are you going to do if the Xianjun wants to borrow my navy, could it be ......?"

"Yes, our army has taken Xingcheng at this time, and is preparing to cross the river to capture the granary of the Dekang rebels."

"What, capture Dekang. If you leave Ganfu and Shangguan and don't take it, cross the river to attack Dekang, aren't you afraid that you will be cut off by the rebels, and there will be no return. ”

"Marshal Gongliang should also know that the granaries of the rebels on the eastern front are all in Dekang County, as long as Dekang is captured, the rebels on the eastern front will be defeated without a fight within three or two months."

"You want to occupy Dekang first, cut off the rebels' food, and then take Ganfu, Shangguan, and Wanchuan. It's such a big appetite, and Yongxing Hou is not afraid to die! If you don't borrow it? ”

"Marshal Gongliang must be sure that our army will not be able to cross the river."

"If you want to enter Changyin County, you can only go through the territory of my Zhiguo, if I don't let the Xianjun warships go west, you will have no boat to cross the Sishui River, how can you take Dekang."

"This is not to worry about the marshal Gongliang, Huang Che, the governor of the rebel navy, has abandoned the secret and surrendered to our army, at this moment Yongxing Hou is on his way to Dekang, presumably he will be able to land in a few days."

"You ......" Gongliang Yi was shocked, he did not expect that the Xian army would seek the near and far, and take a huge risk to cross the river to take Dekang first.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, and when Gongliang's mind was undecided, Gongliangxiu took over and asked:

"Since Huang Che has already surrendered to your army, why do you want to borrow a water army from our army."

Although Huang Che surrendered, the rebels still had more than 300 naval warships in the upper and lower reaches of the Sishui River, which posed a great threat to Huang Che. Although Huang Che is a water bandit and is familiar with water warfare, his ability is mediocre, and it is difficult to match the rebel sailors, so he needs to use your country's navy to strengthen the momentum of our army.

In this way, it can deter the rebel sailors and make them dare not act rashly, and second, it will be convenient for you and my army to transport troops back and forth on the river. Once the rebels' food and grass are cut off, it will be two months at the fastest and three or four months at the slower, and there will be no more major problems on the eastern front, which will also be extremely beneficial to your army. ”

"If you occupy the five counties, you are not afraid that the eldest grandson and the defense of the country will attack you in the future!"

"Doctor Gongliang's words are wrong, our army cut off the rebels' food routes, and it is also of great benefit to the Changsun country, if they attack me, it will be revenge with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs. The 350,000 rebels can kill him to the point of abandoning his armor, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of our Xian army cannot make him frightened.

As for the defense of the country, the four kings go hand in hand, and I don't know that the king of Wei will not sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and it is not clear who wins and who loses. ”

"Hmph, you're pretty accurate. But what good is it for our army to borrow your water army, we can't borrow you to fight the rebels in vain, my Gongliang clan will always have an explanation of the past to my king. ”

According to the information obtained by our army, Dekang County has about 6 million stone of military rations and more than 7.5 million stone of civilian warehouses, which can supply the needs of 3 million people for a year, or 10 million people for emergency disaster relief in April. If our army takes all the Dekang army, we will give your army two million stone grain, if not, we will share two percent of the grain and grass, what do you think? ”

"The Xianjun took Dekang, what will tens of millions of people eat in more than ten counties west of the Sishui River and in the north and south, and if there is a famine in the future, the Xianguo will not be afraid of being spurned by the world." Gongliang Xiu Yi's words are righteous, completely forgetting about the plot to burn Dekang's grain and grass a few days ago.

Zhao Anling disagreed, and said calmly:

"If the rebels surrender to our Xianguo, my king will definitely not mind adding a few more counties, even if there are millions more mouths, my king will definitely find a way to feed the hungry people, which will not bother the two of you."

When Gongliang heard the news, he pretended to be dissatisfied:

"Listen to Mr. Zhao, King Xian's appetite is not only to swallow the five counties!"

"What the Holy Will thinks, it is inconvenient for us and other courtiers to speculate. But King Zhi must not only want to swallow the four counties, if the army takes Dekang, the grain and grass of the two armies of Chitose and Longyuan will be halved, and it will inevitably retreat west across the river, and then the Zhi army can go south smoothly, wave the army westward, and it is not difficult to seize a few more counties.

But if Dekang can't be won, the war will last for a year, and two or three years for the longest. At that time, the Xian army could take Ganfu and Shangguan, while the Zhi army could take four counties at best. At that time, the princes and rebels of various countries will run out of food and grass, so they can only stop the war and wait for a few more years, or even ten years, and so on and again and again and for a long time, when the black scarf takes the opportunity to divide the princes from other countries to attack you and me, what will be the situation at that time, the two of you should know. ”

"Although what Mr. Zhao said is reasonable, but the matter is big, please think about it carefully. In the past few days, Mr. Zhao will be invited to stay in Yaoqu for a few days, and after the commander and the generals have discussed, he will make a decision, what does Mr. Zhao think. ”

"That's fine, I hope Marshal Gongliang will make a decision as soon as possible, so as not to miss the fighter plane and leave the next."

"Then please ask Mr. Zhao to rest in the East Chamber, come and lead Mr. Zhao to the East Chamber."

"No!"

When the guards led Zhao Anling and the others away, Gong Liangyi sank his face and said unhappily:

"This Zhao Anling is by no means idle, Baili Yan has his help, and Xianguo will enter the Central Plains in the future."

"The Xianguo country has now become a general trend, and it is extremely difficult to shake it. If you can't do good, you will be invaded by it in the future. The child thinks that in the matter of Dekang County, it is in my great interest, and I should not hinder the Xian army. As for the outcome of the event, it can be seen for the time being. Taking a step back, even if the Xian army is defeated, our army can take advantage of the Xian army to disperse the rebel forces and attack south. It is both reasonable and extremely beneficial to our army. ”

"yes...... Then do you know that in this matter, Zhao Anling must be so calculating you and my father and son, it is precisely because of the great benefits of our army that you and my father and son will not refuse him. And he also used the grain and grass of Dekang County as bait, and I couldn't help but agree. One step is calculated, one step is calculated, every step is really passive, although this matter can be promised, but it must not be so cheap Bailiyan. ”

Since the Gongliang Righteous Army was launched, the supply of military rations has been not smooth, and the grain and grass used for disaster relief are distributed by the officials sent by King Zhi, and they do not change hands through the Gongliang Army.

Zhao Anling sent two million stones of grain and grass for nothing at this time, and there was no doubt that the pie was smashed from the sky, and it was not his own in the account, and if he didn't pick it up, it was not his own.

So carefully grasped the proportions, and Gongliangxiu invited Zhao Anling to the North Gate Tower to eat wine in the evening. Smelling the familiar aroma of wine, Zhao Anling's mansion was full of wine insects, and he said:

"Doctor Gongliang, this wine should be the fragrance of Yicaotang."

"Oh, how can Mr. Zhao see that?"

"This wine Zhao often drinks, how can you not know, this is the best wine. But come down tonight, and not just for drinking. ”

"Mr. Zhao is very intelligent, what you mentioned in the hall today should have been carefully calculated by you and Yongxing Hou."

Zhao Anling smiled and said nothing, only caring about drinking and eating meat. Seeing that his face did not deny it, Gongliang Xiu continued:

"Okay, you and I open the skylight and say something bright, my father hopes to get forty percent of Dekang's grain and grass, and it can't be less."

"That's a lot." Zhao Anling is colorful.

"Then you eat the land of the five counties, is it too much!"

"Did you say that you want to eat the land of the five counties?"

Zhao Anling asked rhetorically, Gongliangxiu rolled his eyes, restrained his pleasant face, and said sternly:

"Bailiyan beat Dekang, do you still want to spit it out?"

"The land returns to the land, the grain returns to the grain, what do the two have to do."

"Mr. Zhao, before the war, my king only promised you the land of the four counties, but now you have swallowed the five counties, and the land is more than double that of the Xian country, if there is no acquiescence of my Zhiguo, you can easily seize the four counties."

"Okay, as long as the Gongliang clan helps Master Hou a small favor, forty percent of the grain and grass can be considered."

As soon as Zhao Anling said it, Gongliang Xiu was vigilant, and he said:

"A little favor! Borrowing your water army is already a great help, what else do you want. ”

"Half of Changyin County was conquered by our Xian army, so Yongxing Hou hoped that Zhaocheng and Xingcheng would be under the rule of Xianguo after the war."

"What, after swallowing the five counties, you still want Xingcheng and Zhaocheng, don't you think it's too much!" Gongliangxiu reprimanded, only now did he find out that Bailiyan was also shameless.

"Zhao hasn't finished speaking, don't worry, Doctor Gongliang. Zhaocheng and Xingcheng belong to Xianguo, and the Marquis of Yongxing can give Dekang's glutinous fragrance and Beique to your country, and I think King Zhi will agree. ”

"It's easy to say, it's not yet known whether your army can take Dekang County, he Bailiyan first thought of empty promises to deceive the benefits, if there is such a good thing in the world, why didn't he mortgage 500,000 silver to me first."

Gongliang's rhetoric was fierce, and he turned to ask:

"Nuoxiang, Beique two plains, abundant rain, fertile land, high grain yield, Xingcheng, Zhaocheng is located in a remote area, hills cover half, the land is much less than Nuoxiang, Beique, Bailiyan can have this kindness? There won't be any other evil! ”

"Dr. Gongliang misunderstood, although the grain production in these two places is small, half of the forest covers an area, most of which is oak forest."

"Oak? You want oak trees! ”

"Exactly, the Xian country does not produce oak, and our king has been looking forward to this wood for a long time, so he has always wanted to obtain this tree. There are many forests in Xingcheng and Zhaocheng, most of which are oak trees, which is in line with my king's wishes. ”
