Chapter 149: Borrowing Soldiers
Looking at Meng Shuang's back as he strode towards the tea shop in front of him with a relaxed body, although Liu Chan was angry that Meng Shuang had just made fun of him, he wouldn't deliberately care about this.
How the world makes fun of him is the business of the world, and he doesn't bother to care at all, because he only has in his heart how to develop his country step by step without being swallowed up by the other two countries, and unify the Han Dynasty in one fell swoop, fulfilling his father's last wish.
Thinking of this, Liu Chan began to ponder Meng Shuang's plan just now.
At the beginning, he and Li Yan Ma Yan's plan can be said to be very perfect, but it is always a bit risky, after all, if Gao Ding is swaying at that time, then he will really lose more than he gains, but now it is different, because with Meng Shuang's internal and external cooperation, it is more secure.
Just think, no one might have thought that the Meng family, which was about to marry Wu Guo, would suddenly turn back, and even he felt a little incredible now.
"It seems that women are scary, indeed scary." Liu Chan thought that Meng Shuang had even rebelled against Wu Guo for the sake of his marriage, and he felt proud in his heart, he wanted to see Wu Guo deflated.
At this time, Meng Shuang's heart suddenly calmed down, in her heart there was no Han Kingdom, any Wu Kingdom, she only thought that her people could live a good life, of course, now even her own marriage has been resolved.
Thinking about it, Meng Shuang's steps were a little brisk, until he walked to the front of his house, looked at the lights in front of the door, and a gentle smile gradually appeared on his cold face, as if he felt that such a light on the door of the house was very beautiful.
And now in the living room of the Meng Mansion, Lu Xun, Sun Liang and others are still negotiating with Meng Huoyong and others.
"At most, send five thousand soldiers to help you resist the Han army, no more, after all, we have now reconciled with the Han army." Lu Xun still had a faint smile on his face, but what he said could not be refused.
"Oops."
Yong Yan grinned, he knew that these five thousand soldiers would definitely not be enough for them to resist the Han army, so he continued to bend his waist and said: "Governor, I'm afraid this little bit of soldiers and horses is not enough!" It is rumored that this time the Han Kingdom brought 50,000 soldiers and horses! ”
Lu Xun knew that after the defeat of the Han State in Yiling last year, it was impossible to have 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, so he slowly raised his head and said gently: "The number of soldiers and horses in the Han Kingdom is better than you, except for those who cannot be mobilized to defend important places, at most no more than 30,000. ”
"This"
Yong Yan was stared at by Lu Xun and knew that he was wrong, his old face turned red, and he couldn't help but look at Meng Shu next to him, he also saw the love of the Seven Princes for Meng Shuang, as long as Meng Huo was willing to come forward to intercede, I believe that it is still possible to borrow more soldiers and horses.
After all, now Meng Huo can be said to be a grasshopper tied to a rope with him, if the Han army comes, it will not only be him who will be finished, but even other ethnic groups may also finish playing, and everyone knows these truths.
Seeing Yong's eyes, Meng Shu also knew what was going on, and he also knew that now was the time to ask for Dongwu.
Gritting his teeth, Meng Shu hugged his fists with a little embarrassment to Sun Liang, who was leaning on the case, and said: "I hope that the Seventh Prince will borrow more soldiers and horses from us, so that after the little sister goes to Soochow, she will not be sad because she is worried that her clansmen will be captured by the Han State."
Meng Shu didn't expect that at this time, he would use his little sister to plead with others to protect his clansmen, maybe he blamed himself or maybe he felt guilty, and he bowed his head deeply.
As Meng Shu finished speaking, the living room seemed quiet, Sun Liang clicked his mouth, he didn't want his wife to cry because the family was captured as soon as he passed the door, and then he thought about it, this time he could come forward to ask for soldiers for Meng Shuang, would Meng Shuang have a better impression of himself.
Thinking of this, Sun Liang was excited, waved his hand casually, and said with a grin: "Just give them more." ”
Lu Xun glanced at Sun Liang casually, in fact, he also knew that it would be more beneficial for the Wu State to find a way to trap the Han army in the swamp of Nanzhong and unable to extricate himself, and the five thousand soldiers and horses he said would not be able to completely trap the Han army.
He said this just to negotiate terms with these people in Nanzhong.
"Hehehe."
Still with a gentle smile on his face, Lu Xun lowered his head slightly, as if he was thinking, paused for a moment, clapped his hands with a little embarrassment, and said, "Okay!" Since the Seven Princes have said so, then the Governor of Bendu will call the shots and provide you with 10,000 soldiers and horses in Nanzhong! ”
Yong Yan heard that he could get the assistance of 10,000 soldiers and horses of Wu State, and his heart was also relieved, he still has 10,000 standing troops in his hand now, plus the scattered troops of various ethnic groups in Nanzhong and the 10,000 soldiers and horses of Wu State, it is more than enough to hold Yizhou County, and his heart is relieved.
"Thank you to the Seventh Prince, thank you to the Grand Duke!" Yong Yan hugged the two of them gratefully.
Lu Xun smiled mildly and waved his hand, and said, "But the food, grass and supplies of these 10,000 soldiers have to be solved by yourself in Nanzhong!" ”
"Ahh Yong Yan opened his mouth in embarrassment, the grain and grass of these 10,000 soldiers is not a small amount.
"What? Could it be that General Yong Yan disagrees? ”
"This"
Although these grains and grasses are not a small amount, but now is the time to employ people, Yong Yan lowered his head and gritted his teeth, and said: "Don't worry, since the governor has transferred soldiers and horses, we will definitely prepare grain and grass!" ”
Lu Xun nodded with satisfaction, he felt that this trip to Nanzhong was as proud as his defeat of the Han army in Yiling, which pulled the Han army down the quagmire of Nanzhong, which made the Seven Princes embrace the beauty.
Lu Xun thought about it with a faint smile on his face, and said: "Since the matter has been discussed, let's quickly arrange a place for us to rest, the Seven Princes are also tired from a long journey, as for the soldiers and horses, I will write to Your Majesty, come over before the Han army arrives, of course, when the Seventh Prince will marry Meng Shuang, we will return to Wu." ”
"Yes."
Yong Yan hugged his fist to Lu Xun again, and said, "The Seventh Prince and the Grand Governor, please sit down for a while, and we will arrange it." ”
"En" Lu Xun squinted and nodded.
Seeing Lu Xun nodding, Yong Yan took Meng Shu and Gao Ding and slowly retreated.
At this time, Sun Liang next to him was slightly dissatisfied and said: "Why do you have to wait for the soldiers and horses to come before greeting you!" ”
Lu Xun naturally knew what Sun Liang meant, and said with a gentle face: "It is His Highness who is His Highness after all, so why worry about this time, His Highness can find Miss Meng Shuang to contact her more in the past two days." ”
"That's right!" After Lu Xun's reminder, Sun Liang's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "That, the metropolitan governor is busy first, and I have something to go out." ”
Sun Liang said and ran out with a smile.
Lu Xun naturally knew that Sun Liang had been reminded by himself to go to find Meng Shuang, but he still shouted with concern: "This is Nanzhong, Your Highness shouldn't run too far!" ”
"Got it, got it." Sun Liang waved his hand nonchalantly, but kept running out of the living room.
Looking at Sun Liang's disappearing back, the gentle smile on Lu Xun's face gradually disappeared, and then he became calm, muttering to himself: "It seems that these seven princes will not pose any threat to the crown prince!" ”
And the three of Yong, Meng and Gao Ding have now gathered in Meng Huo's study, and they seem to be discussing something
