Chapter 183: Do Your Own Business
Early the next morning, Yingkang came to the courtyard where he was born.
"Lord Ren, how do you feel after watching it around Longchuan yesterday?" After seeing Ren, Yingkang asked.
"Yes, yes, yesterday under the leadership of General Zhao Boyu, I took a good look at the land of Longchuan, and the overall feeling is still very good. It is conceivable that in a year or two there should be greater changes in Longchuan. Ren Ji said happily to Yingkang.
"That's good, but I'm still worried!"
"Lord Sima is worried, what are you worried about?"
"Lord Ren, although it is summer now, the autumn and winter season will soon come, and then Rong Di will be flocking to the army, and then our Qianyi will once again become Rong Di Rong Di's battleground. At that time, without the support of the army of the scattered country, it will be difficult for us to defend the city with the thousand soldiers and horses of our Qianyi alone. ”
After listening to Yingkang's words, Ren Ji's excited expression immediately dimmed, "That's what you said, when the time comes, we can talk to the king and ask him to send troops to protect the people of Qianyi." ”
"That's good, then please tell Lord Xiangguo about this as soon as possible, let him try his best to talk to the people of Qianyi in front of the king, and send troops to Qianyi as soon as possible, so as to protect the people here from the suffering of war!"
As soon as he heard that he was going to talk to Liu Tong about sending troops soon, Ren Ji immediately showed embarrassment, "It's hard to say." You also know the situation of our scattered country, don't say that there are no more soldiers and horses sent out at the moment, even if there are soldiers and horses, the combat effectiveness is very weak, and it is not at all able to compete with Rong Di in the north. Why don't we think about it again? ”
Ying Kang shook his head, "Now that the population of Qianyi has increased greatly and the land has been reclaimed, more troops are needed to protect the gains we have made from the destruction of Rong Di under such circumstances. If we don't get the support of scattered countries, we will definitely not survive this winter. I wonder if there is a better way for adults? ”
Ren Ji grinned and said, "I've only been here for a few days, what can I do there?" I remember that in the Battle of Qianyi last year, you invited the Kingdom of Qiu to come to help, or let's try again this year and invite the Kingdom of Kingdom to come to help in order to relieve the siege of Rongdi. ”
After listening to Ren Ji's words, Ying Kang also smiled, "Don't you know, my lord, that Prince Zhao spoke ill of us Qin people in front of the monarch because we were close to the kingdom of Yu?" If we invite the country to come out again this year, I don't know what kind of bad things Prince Zhao will say about us in front of the king? I don't dare to invite you, why don't you invite someone else to come forward and invite you to help? ”
Others came forward to invite the Kingdom of Yu to help the Qin people fight against Rong Di?
Why does that sound so weird?
Of course, Ren Ji was not a fool, so he smiled and said: "Lord Sima, although Qianyi is nominally a place of scattered countries, it is mainly managed by you Qin people themselves, and I am also sent by Lord Xiangguo to follow." You said that this fight against Rong Di is also a matter of military affairs, how can I express my position? Don't look at it, okay? ”
"Your Excellency, please speak."
"Now there are quite a few people in Qianyi, at least more than 10,000 people, or we will select one out of every ten people to serve as a soldier. In this way, a team of 1,000 people can be quickly assembled. After this team was formed, it intensified its training, and in the autumn and winter it was enough to resist the invasion of Rongdi. I wonder what Master Sima thinks? ”
After listening to Ren Ji's words, Yingkang pondered for a while and said: "It's good to be so good, but the expansion of the army is not ordinary, and if it is not done well, it will be a big taboo." The kings and the ministers of the court will not say that we have other intentions because of this! ”
"How can it? You have expanded your army and protected the safety of Longchuan, which is equivalent to protecting the safety of the scattered country, and it is too late for the monarch and the ministers of the court to be happy? How can they speak ill of you? Ren said confidently.
After listening to Ren's words, Yingkang took the opportunity to say: "In this case, then the troublesome lord will go to the city to explain our thoughts to our doctor Qianyi, so as to dispel Lord Liu's doubts about us." ”
When Ren Ji heard this, he thought that he would return to Sancheng again in just a few days after coming to Qianyi, so he said a little unhappily, "Isn't it just such a big deal, is it worth running back and forth?" ”
Ying Kang said with a smile: "Since we are now officials of the scattered country, we should finally report on the affairs of the monarch, and it is right to ask for more instructions." I think Sangkoku-sama will also enjoy hearing your report about the affairs of Qianyi. Go, and when I come back, I will have a feast to entertain the adults. ”
Since Yingkang repeatedly asked to report the matter of Qianyi to Liu Tong, Ren Ji had no choice but to reply: "Since you are so concerned about this matter, then I have no choice but to go to Sancheng, explain this matter to Lord Liu, and ask him to decide." ”
"Go ahead, I'll wait for your good news." Ying Kang said with a smile.
Only a few days later, Ren Ji returned to Sancheng, which made Liu Tong a little surprised, "Why did you come back after only a few days?" Seeing Ren Ji return to the house, Liu Tong asked.
"Hey, hey, don't be surprised, I have something important to come back to report to my lord." Ren Ji said with a smile.
"Oh, it's only been a few days since I have something important to report, tell me about it." As soon as he heard that there was something important to report, Liu Tong immediately became interested.
"Master, you see it's summer now, and it's time to talk about autumn and winter. You also know that in the autumn and winter, Rongdi in the north will go south, and then Qianyi will inevitably have another war. Today, Yingkang told me about the plan for this year's war, and I would like to ask the king to send troops to Qianyi as soon as possible to prepare for Rong Di. He wanted to ask the lord to talk to the king about this matter, so that Sanguo could send troops to Longchuan as soon as possible to protect the local people and the city. ”
"What?" After listening to Ren Ji's words, Liu Tong was anxious at the moment, "Yingkang actually asked you to tell me that you would send troops from Sancheng to rescue Qianyi." Is he sick, we have such a small number of troops in Sanguo, and we can't even protect Sancheng in winter every year, and he has to send troops to rescue Qianyi. Go back and tell him that I don't have the skills, and I don't have so many troops for him. ”
After listening to Liu Tong's words, Ren Ji was not angry, and of course he didn't dare to be angry, after all, he was the head of his family. So he said with a smile: "The master is the doctor of Qianyi, at least nominally the lord of Qianyi, Yingkang at this time is not looking for you, who else can he find." If people look for his old father-in-law again, will it leave a false pretext for some people in China? ”
That's true!
Last year, Ying Kang was because he asked for the help of the State of Qiu, which left the truth for Prince Zhao, and he had to say that the Qin people colluded with the State of Qiu to plot to disperse the country.
This year, Ying Kang can't go to the Qiu Guo Gang anymore no matter what, even if Yu Gong is already his old father-in-law at this time.
Liu Tong thought about it in a blink of an eye, at this time, in addition to looking for himself, there was really no one to look for in the Guanzhong countries, "Well, what you said also makes some sense, so what should we do?" ”
"The affairs of the Qin people should be solved by letting the Qin people marry themselves." Ren Ji said with a smile.
