Chapter 186: Half the Army

When Chen Yuanda received the talisman handed over by Youziyuan, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth anymore. This Liu Yao, the king of Shi'an, really handed over half of his troops, and they were all elites, and there were even quite a few veterans who participated in the Battle of Luoyang!

Liu Ya, Jin Zhun, and Wang Ping were also a little stunned by the facts in front of them, and they couldn't believe it.

Liu Cang stood even more on the spot, looking at You Ziyuan in disbelief.

You Ziyuan humbly said to the crown prince Liu Cang: "Your Royal Highness the prince, my king has brought a total of 60,000 horses this time, including 30,000 cavalry, 20,000 infantry and 10,000 archers, and now my king will hand over 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry to His Royal Highness the Prince, I wish His Royal Highness the prince success!" ”

Liu Cang's heart was excited, you must know that the 10,000 horses in his hands plus Liu Ya are only 40,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry, the cases in Liu Yao's hands are basically the same as his own troops, he is really willing to hand over half of the military strength to himself, and they are all elite, and according to the rules of the Huns, the troops given will not go back! Liu Yao's loyalty to his father is absolutely undoubted!

Chen Yuanda was also moved by Liu Yao's sincerity, after all, he was able to hand over his elite, isn't this a sign of loyalty? And such sincerity is really impeccable!

Jin Zhun didn't think so, in his opinion, Liu Yao must have a purpose to please His Royal Highness the Crown Prince like this, but what the purpose, Jin Zhun couldn't guess, because if he had so many old brothers who were born and died with him, he would never give anyone a single soldier!

So Jin Zhun tilted his head and looked at You Ziyuan, and You Ziyuan also noticed the little person Jin Zhun......

You Ziyuan was inexplicably shocked in his heart, and said in his heart: Could it be that King Shi'an's strategy was actually seen by this little person? It's impossible, it's flawless!

You Ziyuan put down the uneasiness in his heart, pretended to be calm and explained some affairs to Chen Yuanda, and then hurriedly left.

Liu Cang saw that You Ziyuan had already left, so he said to Chen Yuanda: "Master Chen, this King of Shi'an is indeed loyal, originally I thought he would take credit from me, I didn't want to be so generous!" So loyal! ”

"Yes, I didn't expect this adopted son of the former emperor to be so loyal, so that our army has 60,000 cavalry, 30,000 infantry, and 90,000 horses!"

Wang Ping saw that Liu Cang and Chen Yuanda were full of joy on their faces, and immediately joked: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Prince, so that we will have a greater chance of winning Chang'an!" ”

Liu Cang was also quite happy to see Wang Ping so knowledgeable, and immediately smiled at Wang Ping.

Wang Ping saw that Liu Cang actually smiled at himself again, and the gloomy atmosphere of the past few days suddenly had a feeling of being swept away, and he was so happy that he wanted to jump up immediately and turn over a few more heels to express his joy!

Chen Yuanda looked at Wang Ping with disdain, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and snorted coldly.

Wang Ping didn't care at all, because he knew very well that as long as the prince was happy, it would be fine, and as for what other people thought of him, it was none of his business!

Liu Ya and Jin Zhun also stepped forward to congratulate the crown prince Liu Cang, and the house was full of spring for a while, as if this Chang'an was already within reach......

On the third day of the ninth month of 311 A.D., early in the morning

Liu Cang, with an army of 90,000, left Tongguan and set off for Chang'an.

However, Liu Yao's army of 30,000 still remained in Tongguan.

Chen Yuanda rode on a horse, and looked back at the city head of Tongguan from time to time, and he found that Liu Yao was watching his Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the city wall......

Chen Yuanda still couldn't figure out what Liu Yao was doing, but there were no flaws, and he also hoped that his worries were superfluous, but he didn't know why, the more he looked at the elites of Liu Yao's cavalry, the more uneasy his heart became......

On the city wall of Tongguan, Liu Yao looked at Liu Cang's army in the distance, but the corners of his mouth showed a hint of an intriguing smile.

And Zhao Ling on the side was even more confused, this King of Shi'an did things completely out of common sense, not only did he not clash with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as expected by his General Zhao, but even handed over half of his elite to that straw bag Liu Cang, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of His Royal Highness King Shi'an?

You Ziyuan secretly observed Zhao Ling's every expression on the side, in You Ziyuan's opinion, this Zhao Ling was really a threat!

At this time, Liu Yao, the king of Shi'an, suddenly spoke: "Zhao Ling, I won't leave until tomorrow afternoon, you go and arrange it."

"Yes, King"

"Well, you can step down."

"Yes......"

Although this Zhao Ling said yes, his footsteps did not move, as if he had something to say, but he hesitated.

Liu Yao saw Zhao Ling's hesitant appearance, and said unhappily: "Zhao Ling, if you don't retreat, don't you have anything else to say to Gu?" ”

"The king forgives the sin, there will be something unclear in the end, and I ask the king for advice."

"Oh?"

"The king divided the army into two, and the part that was taken away was still dominated by cavalry, so what was the point of currying favor with Liu Cang? The last general is really incomprehensible! ”

"Bold Zhao Ling, how can the strategy of King Shi'an be guessed and asked by a pawn under the command of a general of Yamen?" As soon as You Ziyuan heard Zhao Ling's question, he became angry, this Zhao Ling was really bold and rude, and he dared to ask His Royal Highness King Shi'an in this kind of tone, what is this not looking for death? !

As soon as Zhao Ling heard You Ziyuan's words, his anger rushed to his head, this damn You Ziyuan is demolishing his general's platform in front of King Shi'an, don't call us General Zhao General Pingxi, but have to say that General Zhao was a humble official before he surrendered to the Han Kingdom, isn't this humiliation?

Zhao Ling's hands were tightly clenched on the hilt of the sword on his waist, desperately pressing his anger, and said in his heart: If I hadn't seen Liu Yao, the king of Shi'an, on the side, I, Zhao Ling, would have drawn my sword and killed you Youziyuan now!

Seeing Zhao Ling glaring at him, the wanderer also lost his temper, and shouted: "What?!" Am I wrong? You're still trying to kill me?! ”

"Ziyuan! Shut up! ”

As soon as You Ziyuan heard Liu Yao's words, he had no choice but to stop speaking and retreat to the side to look at Zhao Ling with disdain.

Zhao Ling saw that Liu Yao, the king of Shi'an, came forward to reprimand You Ziyuan, and his heart calmed down a little, and then immediately bowed his hand to Liu Yao and said: "The king forgives the sin, the last general deserves death, and please forgive the king, my lord was born and died for the Han Kingdom, and he seized Tongguan and attacked Chang'an, which thing is not for the Han Kingdom, You Ziyuan's words are really unacceptable!" ”

"Well, what Ziyuan said is indeed a little inappropriate, and you don't have to worry about it, because you are indeed not qualified to ask me anything, but since your General Zhao has expressed his intention to surrender to me, I will tell you a few points."

"King Xie!"

The wanderer saw that Liu Yao really wanted to explain to this contemptuous man, and he was unhappy with the boss, but he had no way to stop it, so he had to glare at Zhao Ling for a while.

"Zhao Ling, do you also think that the people I gave to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are elite and the main force? So you're worried that if I lose half of the elite, I won't be able to control the situation, and I will lose the strength to protect your lord Zhao Ran to a certain extent? ”

"Not bad! The last general is indeed worried! ”

"Then let me ask you, since you know that these people are all the elite under my command, and they are all old subordinates who have been born and died with me for many years, you say that even if they go elsewhere, who do they listen to?"
