1. Chapter 9 Ingenious ways to give gifts

Every three years, it is a big day for the royal family to worship their ancestors, and all the princes have to enter Beijing to worship their ancestors.

Whether it is Liu Mai, the high-ranking and powerful King of Liang, or Liu Xi, the king of Chengyang, who is rich in the world, or Liu An, the king of Huainan who is known for his sageness, will enter Beijing this year.

The fief of Liu Wu, the king of Liangxiao, was divided into five by the emperor and evenly distributed to Liu Wu's five sons, among which Liu Mai obtained the most wealthy fief.

The emperor took pity on Liu Wunai as the first prince to suffer from the "Tui En Order", so he was particularly kind to Liu Wu, the eldest son.

In order to avoid the further dispersion of the Liang State by the emperor, Liu Wu emptied the treasury of the surrounding counties of the Liang State in advance, as well as the armor warehouse, and stored them in Suiyang, the capital of the Liang State.

After Liu Wu's death, all the things in Suiyang City belonged to Liu Mai.

This led to Liu Wu's other four sons being very dissatisfied with the eldest brother, Liu Wu's second son, Liu Ming, the king of Jichuan, Liu Pengli, the third son, Liu Pengli, the king of Jidong, the fourth son, Liu Ding, the king of Shanyang, and Liu Buzhi, the fifth son, the king of Jiyin, naturally formed an alliance to resist the coercion from the eldest brother.

Even if the five brothers came to Beijing together, they were wary of each other, and when the brothers met, they were surrounded by the armor as if they were facing a great enemy.

The dead Liang Xiao King Liu Wunai is a famous master of the art of war in the Han Kingdom, even if he is dead, the name of the Hejian Iron Cavalry is Xuanhe Daliang City, Liu Mai with the power of a country, and the other four countries that he suppressed can't even breathe.

Huo Quzhi said that the family of people with horses is naturally not Liu Mai, nor is it the family of Liu Mai's younger brothers.

King Liang's subordinates are too strong, and they can't deal with this group of young people in the cavalry.

His target is Liu Xi, the king of Chengyang!

"You mean to rob Liu Xi, the king of Chengyang?" Yun Lang was very surprised.

Cao Xiang didn't seem surprised, and said lazily on the horse: "I just don't know if we can grab it." ”

"We robbed the King of Chengyang, won't something happen?" Yun Lang asked again.

Huo Quzhi smiled and said: "As long as you don't get caught by Liu Xi's armor, or kill it, it's okay, the King of Chengyang won't go to complain, and Your Majesty won't care." ”

"What do you mean?"

"It means that Liu Xi likes to be robbed, especially in Chang'an, so every time he comes to Chang'an, he will bring a large number of treasures......"

"Is this man sick?" Yun Lang was taken aback, there are still people in the world who like to be robbed?

Cao Xiang said with a smile: "It's you who is sick, people are smart, it is a taboo for the vassal king to befriend the ministers, and it is no problem to be snatched away!" ”

"I still think he's sick, what if he's snatched up by his enemies?"

"If you snatch it, you will snatch it, this also proves one thing, his enemy's strength is greater than his, and he needs to strengthen his armament."

"What if it's snatched away by someone who doesn't have to do with it? Like us! ”

"People don't lose, at least they know that there are some tough people in Chang'an!" Huo Quzhi is full of confidence.

Cao Xiang yawned and said: "The main thing is that the king of Chengyang has a lot of money, and people don't care about this money at all, and they will back down when they meet the robbers he wants to befriend."

In fact, this is a way for King Chengyang to befriend ministers, but many times it is not His Majesty who robs him of money and food, or the soldiers of the Beida Battalion or the Xiliu Battalion.

Later, it evolved into a way for His Majesty to secretly confront the King of Chengyang!

Go sick, do you really want to plan for the king of Chengyang? ”

Huo Quzhi smiled: "That's right! ”

Cao Xiang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Do you think we can beat the armor team composed of famous masters of Qi and get the treasure of the King of Chengyang?" ”

Huo Quzhi scratched his scalp and said: "I can't beat it, I don't want to fight hard with Qi Di Jiashi, we have eighty percent of our ability to plant!" ”

Li Dang shook his head and said: "It's not eighty percent, it's ten out of ten, my father's kind of person is just a military leader in the robbery team, he participated in this battle three years ago, although he grabbed the treasure, the two personal soldiers who followed him for more than ten years around my father also died in the Crouching Tiger Land."

One of them was a teacher who taught our brother swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship was also outstanding in the army, and to be honest, we were not qualified enough to be a small soldier! ”

Yun Lang gasped and said, "You won't have the idea of sitting on a mountain and watching the tiger fight, right?" ”

Huo Quzhi said with a smile: "That's the idea, you think, once His Majesty's manpower fights with the Chengyang King's manpower, they are all defenders, and the casualties must be heavy, so we rush out when they are exhausted...... Hey, hey, hey......"

Yun Lang jumped up and gave Huo Quzhi a punch and said: "I dare to guarantee that we are definitely not the only ones who have such thoughts, Beidaying, Xiliuying, and even many nobles and wealthy families who join in the fun, we are not farts compared to them."

Which of those people is not a person who broke out of the sea of corpses and blood, our trick is not enough for others to see. ”

Huo Quzhi said with a smile: "Only by doing the impossible can others see us in their eyes, if we don't even have the courage to try, then it's a shame."

My uncle said that what Your Majesty hates most is people who shrink their heads and brains, and what they like most is people who are bold and reckless.

So, we have grabbed the things of King Chengyang! ”

Although Huo Quzhi was smiling and talking, his words were extremely firm, he was the main general, and he had made up his mind, Yun Lang and the others could only help figure out how to grab the treasure of King Chengyang, and they could no longer raise objections.

This is what it looks like in the army, everyone can giggle and laugh on weekdays, but once they enter the barracks, they become superiors and subordinates.

Cao Xiang changed into civilian clothes and went back to Yanglingyi, ready to ask his wife, who are interested in the treasures of King Chengyang this year.

He believed that his wife would have very detailed news.

Li Dang took a cart of wine to Beidaying to inquire about the news, his family has been in the army for generations, whether it is his father Li Guang or his two elder brothers, they are all serving in Beidaying.

Since Li Dang moved out of his home and was ready to settle his home in Shanglin Yuan, the grievances between him and his brothers had disappeared, and it should not be difficult to inquire about some news at this time.

Huo Quzhi began to select his subordinates to prepare for his plan.

"Five hundred, that's a default number for everyone."

"Can you only do it in Crouching Tiger?"

"It can only be in the Crouching Tiger Land, and one step further forward is the Chang'an Territory, and they don't have the courage to move the sword soldiers in Chang'an.

No matter how far away, there is no point in the dragons grabbing the treasure.

Therefore, Crouching Tiger Land is the best place to do it, the King of Chengyang has inherited the prince for twenty-four years, and Crouching Tiger Land has disputed five times, and each time it is in Crouching Tiger Land. ”

"Who has ever thought about the treasures of King Chengyang?"

"Your Majesty, Tian Wei, Dou Ying, Guan Fu, Xue Ze, Zhang Cigong, Su Jian, as well as my father-in-law Gongsun He, and Li Kang's father Li Guang, have all participated, and among the generals, only my uncle's family did not participate in the competition three years ago.

But that time, my uncle, Li Guang, and Gongsun Ao were all the people His Majesty participated in the competition, and this time we will be counted. ”

"Tian Wei, Dou Ying, and Dou Fu are all dead......"

"This kind of thing hums...... His Majesty does not prohibit it for a day, and the number of people involved will only increase. ”

"All we need are war horses, right?"

"It would be nice if we could get the treasure away."

Yun Lang thought for a moment and said: "It's better to clarify the goal, and the resistance to the war horse is much smaller." ”

Huo Quzhi sighed and said: "Our strength is still too small, if Gongsun Ao doesn't take away all the elites, we should have a chance." ”

"How much time do we have to prepare?"

"Less than forty days.

Although the king of Chengyang had to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony every three years, he never set off with the team transporting the treasures, but entered Chang'an together after meeting with the king of Huainan and the king of Liang in Huainan and Liangdi, which is also a custom. ”

Yun Lang sighed and said: "Where is this the matter of the King of Chengyang's family, it is obviously a matter that King Liang, King Huainan, and King Chengyang made together."

Their purpose is not to give gifts, their goal is His Majesty, and they are expressing their dissatisfaction to His Majesty.

In the process of seizing the treasure, it must be a battlefield of flesh and blood, and the battlefield is the most ruthless, they only need to pay a little money, they can make His Majesty's courtiers resentful, and divide His Majesty and the ministers.

His Majesty is a person who never admits defeat, knowing that it is a ploy, and is unwilling to compromise, which is probably the true image of His Majesty taking the initiative to send people to participate in the treasure hunting. ”

Huo Quzhi said with a smile: "It's not a good thing for a general to think too much, I didn't think that far, I just want to get enough war horses for the captain, you must know that Qidi, Liangdi, there are a lot of good horses." ”

Huo Quzhi has always been a very pure person, Yun Lang has never seen anyone who likes the battlefield more than him, this guy was born for the battlefield.

Yun Lang felt extremely unfamiliar with Dahan, a country that should have been very familiar with him, now.

I thought that this country was under Liu Che's great unification, and there would only be one helmsman who would control this big ship from glory to glory.

Now it seems that there are many people who covet the helmsman position, and Liu Che's power is not as absolute as he imagined.

In the case of being constrained by so many people, he still killed the Huns, and it seems that it is not too much to put the title of the first emperor on his head.

Yun Lang knew that Liu Che had lived for many years, longer than all his enemies, which made his victory even more complete.

The map of the Great Han Kingdom is very vague, often giving Yun Lang an illusion of looking at the picture, the Crouching Tiger Land is not dangerous, but it is a very good place for feng shui, with mountains and rivers in the back, depressions in the middle, there are large wastelands, and there are not big or small ridges on the wasteland.

Yun Lang couldn't see the distance between these ridges, so he couldn't measure the speed of the war horse's gallop, let alone the right place to place the iron arm crossbow there.

Everything will not be known until the hands arrive in Crouching Tiger.

"Ranged sniping is best!" Yun Lang whispered to Huo Quai.

"Long-range sniping is good, but crossbow arrows don't have much effect on heavily armored armorers, unless you have a lot of iron arm crossbows."

"Twelve!"
