Chapter 124: Robbery while the fire is on

Shi Zhan smiled and did not answer Shi Hu's question directly, but said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, if the army is opened, the minister wants the military department to allocate some grain and grass, an additional three thousand war horses, and corresponding weapons, bows, arrows and armor.

"Xihuahou! You're taking advantage of the fire! You Jian never expected Shi Zhan to give him this trick so blatantly.

"You-sama! Please pay attention to your wording! Xihua Hou is to protect the family and defend the country! When the army goes out on an expedition, why not ask for some food, grass, weapons, and horses? It would be nice to haven't asked you yet! Every grass and tree in this Zhao Kingdom belongs to His Majesty, and the things that Xihuahou just asked for, could it be that you You You can't do it? Seeing this, Zhang Bao immediately helped.

"You are in charge of the military department, and it is a common thing for the army to ask you for grain, grass and war horses, what? Do you have to ask me to talk to you? ”

You Jian knew that he was out of shape, and hurriedly knelt down to apologize to Shi Hu: "Your Majesty atones for your sins, and Weichen does not choose to speak." ”

"Then I don't know how many days Lord You will be able to give me these things I want?"

"At least three days! How is it? You Jian raised his head and glanced at Shi Zhan.

Shi Zhan smiled slightly and said, "Okay, then it's three days, I'll thank Master You in advance!" ”

"Is it too late to set off in three days? And you said that if the Huns entered the territory through Hexi, there might be 10,000 people, and you only let Xiao Min take 5,000 people, will there be too few people? ”

Shi Zhan smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, rest assured, five thousand is enough." ”

Why is that? I know that your men can fight well, but they can't be so lightly defeated, right? Shi Hu didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in Shi Zhan's gourd.

"Naturally, it is not a light enemy, Your Majesty listened to what his ministers said, first, if the Huns and Qiang retreat to Hexi, then these people must not all be Huns or Qiang."

"Fifth brother, with all due respect, how do you know that the Qiang and Huns will retreat together?" Shi Shi couldn't help but ask.

Shi Hu also looked at Shi Zhan seriously, wanting to know the answer, Shi Zhan replied: "The Qiang and the Xiongnu are not of the same race, but they are driven by interests to harass our Central Plains, but they are not at ease with each other, so the livestock looted along the way, the Huns and the Qiang people must jointly send people to drive and supervise." ”

Shi Shi and the others listened, nodded silently, and expressed their agreement, Shi Zhan continued: "Since the retreating people are composed of Qiang and Huns, it must be impossible to work together, and at the same time have to take into account the looted livestock, the combat effectiveness must be greatly reduced, and our army is Your Majesty's righteous army, how can it not withstand this group of rabble?" ”

"Good!" After listening to Shi Zhan's words, Shi Hu couldn't help but applaud, and couldn't help but praise: "He is worthy of being my most brave and warlike son!" ”

Shi Zhan respectfully saluted Shi Hu and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" If nothing else, the son will retire first. The army outside the city has only been fighting with the Xianbei people for more than a month, and they are still resting, and the retainers need to go back to select the men and horses to fight. ”

"Good! You go to the good life arrangement! Shi Hu agreed and looked at Shi Zhan with satisfaction.

After Shi Zhan left, Shi Hu sat back on the dragon chair, and the rest of the ministers also regained their positions and listened to Shi Hu's orders.

"The affairs of the Huns are here first, and I have one more thing to say today." Shi Hu said, paused, saw that everyone had no reaction, and continued: "This time, King Qing takes the overall situation as the priority, and when he received the news of the battle on the front line, he immediately rushed to Li Cheng, and I am very happy!" After you expressed your opinions yesterday, I thought about it again and again, and finally decided that this matter would be discussed after King Qing and Xihua Hou settled the Huns and returned to Yecheng. ”

After Shi Hu finished speaking, Shi Shi couldn't help but glance at Zhang Bao, as Zhang Bao Ruori said, Shi Zun's move was exquisite, not to mention completely winning the Sacred Heart, at least if Shi Zun triumphed this time, Shi Hu would not be able to let him leave Yecheng.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" When You Jian heard this, he couldn't help but shout.

Some of the officials quickly chimed in, Zhang Bao also looked at Shi Shi calmly, the two looked at each other, Shi Shi knew what Zhang Bao meant at this moment.

Shi Shi's heart was in a mess, and then Shi Hu said something, he didn't listen to a word, and waited in a daze until after the dispersal of the dynasty, and then followed the crowd to the outside of the main hall.

"Your Highness stays." Zhang Bao shouted behind Shi Shi.

Shi Shi instinctively turned around, looked at Zhang Bao, and asked, "Sure enough, you said it!" ”

Zhang Bao looked around and said, "This is not the place to talk, Your Highness, you go back to the house first, let's go back first." ”

Shi Shi looked at the civil and military officials who came and went around him, and naturally understood what Zhang Bao meant, and nodded hurriedly.

Shi Zhan returned to the barracks and immediately summoned Wang Shicheng and Li Chang and relevant generals to discuss the big tent. Since the decisive battle with the Xianbei people, Shi Zhan had never summoned so many generals to enter the big tent, and the generals immediately guessed that they might have to fight again.

Shi Min, who was originally practicing, was also called to participate in the proceedings, which made him a little baffled.

"I have summoned you today because I have something very important to announce to you!" Shi Zhan said, paused, and looked at everyone, all the soldiers were used to war, and their performances were very bland.

Except, of course, Shi Min.

When Shi Min heard that he was going to fight, he couldn't help but feel a little excited, thinking that he had no ability, he had not been on the battlefield properly, and he had been laughed at by Wang Shicheng and Li Chang, and now he finally had the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy, how could he not be happy?

Shi Zhan glanced at everyone, how could he not see the excitement on Shi Min's face that could not be concealed? However, Shi Zhan did not break it, and continued: "The Xiongnu crossed the river to the east to invade Yunzhong and Licheng generation, and General Ben was ordered to send men and horses to support, I told Your Majesty, this time we will dispatch 5,000 people. ”

"General, we are still in the recuperation period, and the grain and grass promised to us by the imperial court have not yet been given!" One of the generals was the first to speak.

"Don't worry, everyone, within three days, not only will the grain and grass be delivered, but there will also be an additional 3,000 war horses, as well as bows and arrows, weapons, armor, etc." Shi Zhan said to everyone with a smile.

"Big brother! Are you telling the truth? Li Chang asked excitedly on the side.

"This is an order from His Majesty to the soldiers in the hall today, do you say true or false?" Shi Zhan asked rhetorically.

"In that case, isn't the problem of the wolf knight's weapons and horses solved?" Shi Min also said.

"Let's not talk about the wolf rider today." Shi Zhan glanced at Shi Min and continued to say to everyone: "This time we need to dispatch five thousand cavalry, Wang Shi will be the commander, Shi Min will be the deputy general, a few of you, go back and pick the five best thousand-man teams, the thousand-man team is directly led by Wang Shicheng, is there a problem with the list of personnel for this expedition to this general before dark?" ”

"No problem!" Everyone replied in unison.

"I have!" Li Chang was a little unconvinced, stood up and asked, "Why didn't the general let me go?" Could it be that I, Li Chang, am a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

Shi Zhan glanced at him, ignored him, and continued: "As for the soldiers who do not go on the expedition, they will stay in the barracks to continue training. Come on! Go back and prepare what you need to prepare, and set off in three days at the latest. ”

"Yes!" Everyone stood up and shouted in unison.

Li Chang watched everyone leave the big tent with some embarrassment, and finally when there were only Shi Zhan, Shi Min and Wang Shicheng in the big tent, Li Chang couldn't help but ask again: "Big brother, why don't you let me let the third child go?" ”

Shi Zhan was originally looking at the map, but when he heard Li Chang ask, he stopped, looked at Shi Min, and said, "It's none of your business!" Get out and keep practicing with the new kid! ”

"Yes!" Shi Min took the order, then turned around and walked out of the big tent obediently.

After seeing Shi Min leave, Shi Zhan continued to look at the map and said slowly: "Let Xiao Min go this time in order to let him hone and hone his temper, he has a raw melon egg and your stinky temper, do you think I will rest assured?" ”

"It's not ......" Li Chang was choked speechless by Shi Zhan's words.

Wang Shicheng on the side listened to the laughter, Li Chang was a little annoyed, took off his shoes and smashed them at Wang Shicheng, scolding: "What are you laughing at!" Call you a stricken! ”

Wang Shicheng hurriedly dodged away and said disgustedly: "I said second brother, how long have you not washed your feet?" Aren't you uncomfortable smelling it yourself? ”

"Fuck off! Don't get cheap and sell well! Li Chang said impatiently.

"Alright, you both give me a serious face, I still have something to tell you." Shi Zhan suddenly raised his head and said when he looked at Li Chang and Wang Shicheng who were not doing right.

"Give me the shoes!" Li Chang stretched out his hand towards Wang Shicheng and said in a low voice.

Wang Shicheng covered his nose and threw his shoes to Li Chang with a disgusted expression, almost making Li Chang's mouth crooked.

"This time I went out, and Li Chang was responsible for the training of the more than 1,000 people." Shi Zhan commanded.

"It's no problem! So what about the selection of this wolf knight? Li Chang asked.

"Since this is the case, it will be decided to see how soon the war with the Huns will end. If they're lucky, give them more time to practice, if they had come a month or two earlier, I'd have sent them there this time!" Shi Zhan said expressionlessly.
