043. External Threats!
"I don't know if the general knows where the sister is now?" Lu Yuanshan directly skipped the suspicious eyes of the two and asked anxiously.
Li Yungui didn't think much about it and said what he knew: "The old man received the news from his subordinates, Miss Lu and a servant rushed south from CD Fu Road, but for some reason the old man received news that the fishermen along the Dadu River estuary had seen the two of them. So the old man can be sure that Miss Lu must be heading west along the Dadu River to the wilderness of Hehuang! As for the reason, the old man is unknown! ”
Lu Yuanshan frowned and arched his hand again: "Can the general send someone to recover the sister?" I can't thank you enough! ”
Li Yungui smiled awkwardly and said, "This old man has more than enough heart but not enough strength!" ”
"Why did the general say that?"
Li Yungui glanced at Lu Yuanshan meaningfully and said: "Virtuous nephew, you are a smart person, you were willing to agree to train for the old man that day, you must have already known the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, and now there has been a great turmoil!" ”
Lu Yuanshan looked at Li Yungui calmly and was silent.
"I don't know what the virtuous nephew knows about the Great Song?"
"A strong enemy is coming, and civil strife will not stop!"
Seeing Lu Yuanshan blurt out, Li Yungui couldn't help but show a touch of appreciation. He also said: "The virtuous nephew ordered someone to replace all the generals in the first army, and cleaned up the manpower of Liu Laogou in the army for the old man at one time, so he must have thought of this!" ”
Li Yungui said to himself, Lu Yuanshan pulled the corners of his mouth unconsciously, and thought: "Fortunately, the old guy doesn't know that the current First Army has been controlled by me!" So when I heard Li Yungui's words of appreciation, I couldn't help but feel unnatural!
In Li Yungui's eyes, it was just misunderstood that everything was as he guessed, Li Yungui stroked his long beard and looked at Lu Yuanshan with a smile, looking like he knew everything in his chest.
"I wonder what General Li said has to do with my sister?"
Li Yungui's old face suddenly darkened, revealing a rare cold color, "Hey-" and sighed helplessly: "The autumn harvest is lucky, the autumn harvest is difficult." The barbarians of Wuna Tubo have come to the border of our Great Song Dynasty to plunder the winter! ”
"Those barbarians are killing, burning, looting and looting outside the CD Mansion, and they will definitely invade my Yazhou City in the near future, and there have been more and more displaced people in Yazhou City recently. I don't want this old dog Liu to be so ignorant, and he dares to beat the idea into my first army. ”
Lu Yuanshan was also speechless about this, a small magistrate dared to blatantly stretch his hand into the barracks!
"The old man also sent someone to check after he knew that Miss Lu had entered that wild place, but there has been no news so far, and the person sent has never returned!" Li Yungui smiled bitterly.
"Why did the Tibetan barbarians repeatedly offend my Great Song Dynasty, but the imperial court didn't send troops to suppress it?"
"Uh..., in fact, the reason why this first army is stationed in Yazhou City is to defend against the enemy. Merely...... It's just that those barbarians are ...... fierce! Being asked by Lu Yuanshan like this, Li Yungui's confidence is obviously insufficient!
In fact, the Great Song Dynasty also seemed to have experience in pacifying civil strife, and it had never done anything to be direct with foreign enemies. Even a little Nong Zhigao in the south back then was powerless, if it weren't for Di Qing at that time, the result would be really hard to say.
"Why don't you recruit more soldiers, it's not difficult to win by suppressing numbers!" Lu Yuanshan asked again.
Li Yungui sighed and said, "In the early years, the first army had a full 20,000 people, and it was okay to resist those barbarians. It's just that the imperial court has not allocated military salaries for three years, and the first army only has 5,000 strong ....... left. ”
Li Yungui paused and said: "If the old man is not, he will not give up his face and let you take over the food and salary of the first army!" ”
"I just don't know if the virtuous nephew has a trick?" Li Yungui suddenly looked forward to Lu Yuanshan's answer, and inexplicably hoped that the man in front of him could surprise him!
At the beginning, he invited all kinds of famous doctors for his wife, but they were helpless. And Lu Yuanshan lived in the house for a few days and never used a single medicine, and his wife was alive and kicking as usual! When the First Army was handed over to Lu Yuanshan, he never reported how to expect it, and Lu Yuanshan not only removed Liu Qian's manpower for himself, but also used some unheard of means to train the First Army in a good way! And right now, Lu Yuanshan's sister is also unfortunately lost in the land of Hehuang!
Li Yungui thought about it and couldn't help but look at Lu Yuanshan, and looked at Lu Yuanshan's chrysanthemums with wolf-like eyes!
"There is a plan in the next place, but I don't know if the general agreed!"
When Lu Yuanshan heard that Lu Yuanshan was really calculating, he slapped the table and immediately stood up. Looking at Lu Yuanshan with burning eyes, he hurriedly said, "If the virtuous nephew has any requirements, just mention it!" ”
"The old man and the first army have been stationed in Yazhou City for ten years, and they have been tortured every autumn, and the Wuna barbarians have been committing crimes every year, but the imperial court has not sent troops to support them for ten years. In recent years, even the military salary has not been paid, and in the long run, this Yazhou will definitely not be guaranteed! ”
Speaking of excitement, the old guy didn't forget to squeeze out a few tears and looked at Lu Yuanshan with more affectionate eyes.
"As long as the general gives up this first army to support him at will for a month, then the barbarian from Tibet will regret coming to this world!" Lu Yuanshan shook off goosebumps and quickly said what he requested!
Xu Huiji, who had been standing quietly on Li Yungui's side, had a brighter look in his eyes after hearing Lu Yuanshan's words, and immediately lowered his head, and there was no expression on his face!
As soon as Lu Yuanshan told the conditions, Li Yungui didn't pretend to be pitiful, and carefully calculated in his heart. Lend the First Army to Lu Yuanshan? This matter is not big or small.
If the imperial court knew, his head would naturally not be protected, but if not, Yazhou City would be broken sooner or later!
Moreover, since the imperial court no longer cares about the life and death of the CD Mansion, whether he is ...... or not, Li Yungui paced back and forth and pondered.
Lu Yuanshan saw that this old guy immediately hesitated when he heard that he was going to borrow his first army, and he couldn't help pouting at all regardless of what Shicai said, "The old guy is quite capable of pretending, but I don't know what your expression will be when I completely take away your first army in the coming year!" "The two foxes have their own calculations, and they are both calculating the gains and losses in their hearts!
Lu Yuanshan thought in his heart, but said: "The general might as well go back and weigh it carefully, and he doesn't have to make a decision early." After all, that barbarian may not be able to see a plague hit the streets next year! ”
Lu Yuanshan bowed his hand to Li Yungui and said, "If it's okay, I'll leave first!" ”
Li Yungui couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth when he heard what Lu Yuanshan said, and resisted the urge to slap the guy in front of him and said, "No need, tomorrow the old man will order someone to send the tiger talisman to the house." If the virtuous nephew of the moon queen can't give the old man a satisfactory explanation, don't blame the old man for not being emotional, hum! ”
After Li Yungui finished speaking, he waved his hand to Lu Yuanshan, and Lu Yuanshan would retreat from Li Yungui again!
"What does Mr. Xu think of Lu Yuanshan?" Li Yungui asked weakly half-lying on the chair.
"The boy is promising!"
"It's just that why does the old man always think that this kid has a plot against the old man? Eh——。 ”
Xu Huiji's eyebrows twitched, and he didn't say much.
