Chapter 437: Fishing in Troubled Waters (3)
Shi Hu was also in a very good mood after getting a whole clan for nothing, and he just wanted to get more benefits for himself and Shi Zhan, and by the way, he used the bitter card of Shi Zhan's father-son relationship to test his uncle's thoughts about himself, after all, Shi Zhan is his own son, and he also represents his own power, if his uncle intends to suppress or deliberately want to erase Shi Zhan to weaken his own power, then should he also be prepared......
Now his uncle not only didn't have these thoughts that he was afraid of, but even easily handed over an entire group of Hou clansmen to himself, which was tens of thousands of brave warriors, how could this not make Shi Hu's heart bloom? (One point to be pointed out here is that there is no empirical evidence that Hou Jing is a descendant of the Hou clan of the Buddha Protector, and it is a personal speculation that is not very accurate...... In fact, a miscellaneous beard like Hou Jing, where is there any surname to speak of, just like the surnames of Shi Le and Taobao, in fact, they are all transliterations, and the ancestors are at most up to the grandfather's generation, and most of them are made up by the Han people, and I have intentionally or unintentionally made such Han people...... )
Because of this, Shi Hu has a lot less worries and suspicions about Shi Le, his uncle trusts him so much, and he still suspects that his uncle really shouldn't be, but Kui An's advice this time is indeed a clever plan to let him come over directly and ask him face to face!
Thinking of this, Shi Hu also began to look forward to what arrangements Zhang Bin had for his trip to Guanzhong!
Zhang Bin saw that Shi Le and Shi Hu were both looking at him, waiting for his own words, so he slowly said: "Lord, young general, Pingyang's Taishi Ling Kangxiang sent me a letter!" ”
"Oh?! He agreed?! ”
"Exactly, Kang Xiang agreed to give us a certain amount of material support, but only if we have a reliable piece of land first, they can transport these promised goods to us!"
"The amount we want is not small, is he really willing to give?!"
"Not bad, and it's doubled!"
"Double!? Ha ha! What a big spirit! This Pingyang Kang's is really not simple, but I don't know who else they support?! ”
"Lord, it doesn't matter who they support Pingyang Kang, Pingyang Kang was originally a businessman, and he is willing to bet on all powerful people, which is their habit and survival method, the more they are optimistic about the forces, the greater the support they give, and now they can promise us double the wealth we need, they value the lord very much!"
Shi Le had a smile on his face, but his eyes narrowed, and he said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "They are also optimistic about Wang Mi, hmph!" ”
"My lord, the general trend of the world is already elusive, let alone the Pingyang Kang family, a businessman who makes a living!"
"Meng Sun, what you said is the same, did the Kang clan make any other requests?!"
"They didn't ask for anything, and there is one thing that Zhang Bin really made his own decisions, and he asked the lord to punish him!"
"But it doesn't hurt to say it, you were supposed to make a decision on the spot, so why do you say it without permission!"
"Yes, my lord, I told Kang Xiang about our idea of going to Guanzhong!"
When Shi Le heard this, his face twitched unconsciously, but he instantly became calm and said, "Oh?! ”
Looking at the momentary dissatisfaction on his uncle's face, Shi Hu's heart was happy, he was very willing to see Zhang Bin make a fool of himself, this Jin man is too unpleasant, everything is calculated very well, this time he actually told Kang Xiang in Pingyang about such a confidential matter as going to Guanzhong, isn't this a leak of military aircraft? ! Haha, what should I do with you Zhang Bin this time!?
"My lord, the relationship network of the Pingyang Kang clan is wider than we know, which is why they can always stand, we have to go to Guanzhong, only General Shi Zhan and the people of the Hou clan are indeed too weak, if we can use the power of the Pingyang Kang clan in various places, maybe we will get twice the result with half the effort!"
"Is the gentleman's camp beyond its power?!"
"Lord, the gentleman's camp has too few people, and it is not suitable for a group dispatch, we need strong support for such a big event as the search for Princess Mingyue!"
"Does the Pingyang Kang clan still have power in Guanzhong?!"
"Yes, Kang Xiang said in the letter that as long as our people reach Lantian, their people will be there to pick us up!"
"Lantian?!" (Lantian County, Shaanxi Province, Lantian County is located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains in Shaanxi, southeast of the Guanzhong Plain, is a county under the jurisdiction of Xi'an City, and the county seat is 22 kilometers away from the urban area)
"Yes, there is another branch of the Pingyang Kang Clan, the Lantian Kang Clan!"
"Lantian Kang's?!"
"It is said that the Lantian Kang clan was also a royal family in the past, but later it declined, so it was attached to the Pingyang Kang clan!"
"Hehe, there is such a relationship, I didn't expect it, this Kang clan is really all over the world!"
"What the lord said is very true, the Kang family was originally born as a businessman, so naturally they want to go to business everywhere!"
"Well, in this case, Shi Zhan has also responded to Guanzhong, as long as he can find Princess Mingyue and bring it back safely, as for the strategy of the Han Kingdom for Guanzhong, don't participate in it, more is better than less, you have to take good care of Shi Zhan!"
"Yes! Lord! ”
"This Guanzhong is like a puddle of muddy water, so many people muddy the water but don't know what fish to catch, we sent people to Guanzhong this time to touch her away before everyone notices this big fish! Do you understand?! ”
"The lord is wise!"
In the early morning of September 25, 311 AD, on the walls of Chang'an City
Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, stood on the city wall and looked at the dense Hun army outside the city, and the whole person was a little unable to stand!
Hangu Pass was lost, Tongguan was easily taken, Chun Yuding lost a large number of his soldiers and grain and grass, Beigong Chun also surrendered to the Xiongnu, and now these Han Xiongnu are showing off their power outside their Chang'an City, and it is possible to capture Chang'an immediately at any time!
"Someone! Go and release Chun Yuding for me, and let him lead the troops out of the city for me to fight! ”
"No!"
Not long after, Chun Yuding, who was covered in filth and pain in the prison, was brought to Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang!
"Chunyu, it's time for you to be loyal to this king!"
"King! O king! We must not use our troops again now, there are too many Huns outside the city, and we will be sent to death if we go out! ”
"Sent to death? Hahahaha! Are you afraid of death? Haven't you always professed your loyalty? Now put on this armor and go out of the city for me to fight! ”
"King!!"
"Say more, believe it or not, I'll stab you to death with a sword right now?!"
Chun Yuding saw that Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, was determined to let himself go out to die, and he had the heart to argue for himself, but he didn't want to be held down by Sima Mo, the king of Nanyang, and took him down!
Outside the city
Zhao Ran, the general of Pingxi of the Han Kingdom, looked at the early morning sun shining on the city wall of the ancient city of Chang'an, and the winter sunshine with a little warmth was really comfortable to see!
Zhao Ran arrived outside Chang'an City last night, in order to restore the army's combat strength, he rested for a whole night, so he was not in a hurry to attack, he had to wait for the stragglers to follow, and then think about when to attack!
And on the night when Zhao Ran was waiting, Zhang Ping's men and horses also arrived!
