Wu Ang, how many soldiers and horses do you have in your alley now? In the Fu Fu envoy's study, you Yilu stood in front of the window with his hands on his shoulders and asked casually. In fact, strictly speaking, this is not a study at all, and there are few books and few things at home. Helplessly, various institutions along the way from Shaanxi poured into Qinzhou all of a sudden, and the conditions were indeed more difficult.

Xu Wei dragged a chair and sat next to Wen Qin, thinking about something, when he heard his uncle ask, he replied: "The total strength is 80,000, divided into three armies for the fourth brother, to protect Qin Feng." Now there are about 50,000 soldiers who can fight, including 7,000 horse troops and more than 5,000 who can fight. ”

Hearing this, Xu Shao turned his head and smiled: "It's the right time to let you come to Shaanxi!" It's only been a few years, and I've had 80,000 armor! Your eldest brother Xu Yuan has been in Shaanxi for decades, and he probably doesn't have this strength, so he paused and continued, "Uncle has read the battle plan you reported, and there is no problem." The difficulty is Qu Duan, according to you, if your uncle gives Qu Duan an order and orders him to send troops to security and threaten Lang Yan, will he obey? .

No, Xu Wei didn't think about it, and replied directly. Although I haven't worked with Qu Duan for a long time, I still have a good understanding of his personality, and I am good at avoiding wars and aiming at fire. Maybe the eldest brother is right, this guy has been suppressed for too long, and once he gets his will, he will explode.

Xu Shao smiled on his face: "He really dares to do this?."

"Qu Duan will not disobey without disguise, he has too many excuses to use. Either Huanqing has experienced a mutiny and has not recovered, or it is said that the party threatens the border and cannot get out. Xu Wei replied.

Xu Shao looked back at the window, the intense sunlight reflected the trees and rocks white, and after a long time, he whispered: "When I was in Chang'an, I heard the name of Quduan. This person should not be placed on the handsome person

Xu Wei was a little dazed, his attention didn't seem to be on this matter, and he only dealt with it casually. Xu Shao even asked a few questions, but he answered them plausibly, so he asked, "What?" ”

"Third uncle, Zhenjiang Xing doesn't have a clear attitude. Recently. It was they who negotiated peace, and now when they saw that the Jin people had a different surname, they rose up according to the case and wanted to take revenge. This kind of capriciousness is really impressive," Xu Wei said, shaking his head.

How did Xu Shao not know this? Nodding his head, he said: "That's true, now that the Lord and the faction are in power, the overall trend is still inclined to peace." Therefore, Geng Nanzhong and Wu Min and others issued a vague order to Shaanxi "not for the purpose of recovering lost territory." ”

"Is it more than a contradiction? It's a self-sucking mouth! Playing and fighting, you will make up your mind, don't think about negotiating peace, we will be military ministers. Nature pushes forward. Now that it's so messy, who still has the heart to fight? Xu Wei said dissatisfied. Xu Shao saw that his nephew was a little emotional, and soothed: "Don't complain, although the official family agreed to negotiate peace this time, it was also considered." After many years of fighting, Lianghe, Shandong, the Central Plains, and Shaanxi have all suffered a lot of damage, and they have to recover for a while. ”

Xu Wei frowned when he heard this: "The money and grain of the Great Song Dynasty are all in the south of Jianghuai, why is this so?" ”

"There are some things in the court that you don't understand. I have heard that the ruling ministers of the DPRK have proposed that it would be unwise and not a long-term plan to use grain and money from the southeast to feed the northwest. The officials didn't know what they heard when they heard this, but there were always signs. We are in the northwest, so we should not think about the money and food in the southeast. The. I was ordered to proclaim and dispose of Shaanxi, and sent the former Dazai Xu Churen to proclaim and appease Sichuan. The intention of the line has been very clear

Xu Churen? Former Prime Minister? This arrangement is a bit exquisite, Xu Churen used to be the main battle faction, but later he was removed from the phase and let go of the foreign office. Sending him to preach Sichuan this time, doesn't it make it clear that he supports Shaanxi? The land of abundance, rich in products, can indeed be relied on. But in this way, it is also equivalent to showing the attitude of the above, you in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region wear even trousers, don't point to the southeast.

"Third uncle, my nephew can't stay in Qinzhou, a few days ago, I have ordered the troops to attack the Jin army and interfere with the wheat harvest, and my nephew estimates that the committee will react. The big marshals on the left and right can't count on it, it's better to "Xu Wei didn't finish speaking, and suddenly heard a knock on the door outside.

"Come in...... Xu Shao called.

At the door opened, a person came in, in his thirties, quite decent, tall and majestic, with two short beards, and a smile on his face, it was Xu Yuan's eldest son, Xu Yan. As soon as I came in. He hugged his fists and said to Xu Shao: "Uncle." ”

He is the eldest of Xu Shao's grandchildren, but he has never met much before, but after all, he is the same family, Xu Shao smiled: "I just remembered to see my uncle today?."

"The grandson is thinking, the uncle has just taken office. The affairs are complicated, and I dare not come to disturb. But the father is not there, and if the grandson does not come to worship, he will lose his manners, so he is presumptuous. Please forgive your uncle and Xu Yan said with a smile on his face.

Xu Shao laughed and said to Xu Wei: "This guy has some good mouths, and his father doesn't know how to say it like him." ”

Xu Wei nodded, without extra words. Xu Yan also bowed to him: "Ninth uncle."

"Well, sit down." Xu Wei pointed to the seat beside him.

Xu Yan didn't sit until Xu Shao said it again, and he walked over and said, "Uncle is here, and our Xu family will hold half the sky in Shaanxi." ”

Xu Shao was still smiling, looking like a kind grandfather, but when he heard this, his face immediately changed! It was not easy to reprimand him, so he asked directly: "Do you have something to do?" ”

I don't know if Xu Yan is showing signs that something is wrong, but he still put his clothes on the hem and said with a smile: "First, I came to see my uncle, and secondly, I wanted to report the inside story of Jingyuan to Xuanfu Xianggong." ”

Xu Shao glanced at Xu Wei, saw a smile flashing at the corner of his mouth, and nodded in his heart, "Tell me about it." ”

Xu Yan also looked at Xu Wei and said with a smile: "It just so happens that Uncle Nine is here, and I, as a junior, will speak bluntly." If there is anything wrong, please forgive me. ”

"Straight to the point." Xu Shao urged.

"How does Uncle Jiu know, since the Jingyuan army reached the Shaanxi-China territory, it has lost soldiers one after another, and has injured its muscles and bones. This time, he ordered the Western Army to retaliate, and he couldn't say it clearly, and in this case, he was afraid that he would not be able to send troops rashly. Therefore, I had to explain it to my uncle. ”

This is everything, and it is not easy to talk when it is touched by relatives. Xu Wei had been putting up with it before, and said in his heart that my eldest brother was good to me, and this guy was also my cousin, so as an elder, I wouldn't be as knowledgeable as him. I've never seen such an endless, and if you tell a lie ten times, can you even deceive yourself?

Although he was angry in his heart, Zijin Tiger still put on the appearance of a smiling tiger, and called out kindly: "Xu Yanna." ”

"My nephew is here."

"Jingyuan all the way, as early as when the uncle was punctual, he was already strong and strong. Later, the eldest brother took over the position and became stronger.

At the beginning, when your father entered Shaanxi, brought 30,000 horse infantry troops, and withdrew from Yaozhou, I don't know how many uncles there were, but it shouldn't hurt my muscles and bones, right? Xu Wei said with a smile.

Xu Yan's face did not change: "Uncle doesn't know, Jingyuan's old foundation, quickly fight half of it." Later, I recruited some raw melon eggs, but now they have not been practiced, and I am afraid that they will collapse at the touch of a finger if I count on them to go into battle. ”

"It's strange, when Shaanxi Hua replenished the source of troops, I recruited troops at the same time as your father. Now, the courage that was recruited at the beginning has been used as the first-class main force, how,"

"Hey, how can you compare with Uncle Nine? Uncle is a purple tiger, and there are no weak soldiers under a strong general. Xu Yan snorted haha.

Xu Wei saw that he was flamboyant, and he wanted to do it, but considering the presence of the third uncle, he laughed and stopped talking.

Xu Shao listened to the general idea, and already had a bottom in his heart, so he said: "Okay, you can go, this matter can be discussed later." ”

Xu Yan got up and bowed to his uncle and uncle, and calmly retreated. As soon as he left, Xu Shao frowned and said, "I think Xu Da is also a little iron-clad man, how did he give birth to such a treacherous son?" Which one of the Xu family is not like this! Opinionated! And Xu Yuan, what kind of attitude does he have? ”

When Xu Wei heard this, he persuaded: "The third uncle is angry, this may not be what the eldest brother meant. Xu Yan, this kid, has always been sleek and tight, and he treats people insincerely. Besides, the eldest brother didn't know that the third uncle had arrived in Shaanxi, and if he knew, he would definitely be killed. ”

"It seems that I still underestimated the complexity of the situation in Shaanxi. With such a plate of scattered sand, it's really difficult for you to still play Kai one after another. These Western Army, it's not you Xu Jiu who is eating food and getting paid all the way. Let's start with Huanqing. As soon as Xu Shao's words came out, Xu Wei stood up.

"What does the third uncle mean?"

"Qu Duan's official dispatch is "Kwon Huan Qing Jing Lu appeases the official business", right? Xu Shao asked.

Yes, that's right, after Wang seemed to be arrested, Qu Duan temporarily replaced Huan Qingshuai, originally Yao Pingzhong, as the governor of Huanzhou, was trained as a candidate for marshal ministers, but he was rejected by Qu Duan, and he was hit one after another, not to mention the loss of dispatch, and was demoted. If he hadn't invited him to sit in Shaanzhou, he might still be under residential surveillance.

After Xu Shao received an affirmative answer, he did not answer Xu Jiu's question directly, thought about Pian Hai, and asked, "Where is Liu Guangshi now?" ”

"In the nephew's army, idle." Xu Wei replied. Liu Guangshi fled back from Yan'an, like a beggar, Langyan fell, and his dispatch was naturally gone. Moreover, Li Gang hated him as a person and refused to use it, so he stayed in Chang'an all the time. "What? The third uncle wants to use him? ”

"Liu Guangshi, Yao Pingzhong, and Zhongjie" are all named, and they have to be used if they don't need it. Uncle meant, Yao Ping Zhongguan was reinstated, and he was also the governor of Huanzhou and the jurisdiction of soldiers and horses, Liu Guangshi, and he was a deputy envoy to appease him. You don't know, Liu Yanqing and Yao Gu have just been activated, and they have joined forces with He Guan to preside over the Imperial Camp Division. This Liu family, as early as when Tong Guan was in charge of the northwest military affairs, was very obedient, and the official family had a good impression of the Liu family. As for the Yao family, it is Yao Pingzhong who has been stained with the light of the old breed of the father, and follows the king of the seed father, and the official family is very fond of it, and it is cultivated with you. Xu Shao said.

"Since my uncle wants to restrain the curvature?" Xu Wei asked in a low voice. (To be continued)
