Yancheng in Western Xia, after learning that the yellow-headed Uighurs of Longyou were entangled with the Qiangtang Division, the Subi Division, and the Duomi Division, raised troops to surround the Longyou Protectorate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info A smile appeared on Li Yuanhao's originally gloomy face. "Qianyuan, go and find me that Zhang Chujiu again!"

"Lord Wang, do you still want to see him?" Li Qianyuan said with a puzzled expression.

A few months ago, Zhao Shuo won a great victory in Chang'an, destroying the 50,000 army of Qi State, and his reputation was greatly enhanced. Li Yuanhao, who had a wait-and-see attitude, immediately summoned Zhang Chujiu.

After Zhang Chujiu said what he meant, Li Yuanhao fell into deep thought. Zhao Shuo now lacks war horses and cavalry, so it can be said that there is another shortcoming. Once Zhao Shuo established a cavalry and held a small cannonball in his hand, he would be directly invincible in the world.

In order to have the capital to compete with Zhao Shuo, Li Yuanhao proposed the method of exchanging war horses for small cannonballs, and proposed that one war horse be exchanged for ten small cannonballs.

Of course, Zhang Chujiu did not dare to agree to this condition. Moreover, he knew the price at which Zhao Shuo sold a small cannonball to Wan Yangao, that is, five hundred taels for a small cannonball. Ten is five thousand taels. Although the resources of war horses are scarce, but five thousand taels and one horses, this price is really high.

After thinking about it, Zhang Chujiu proposed to buy it with silver, which did not involve the purchase method of small cannonballs. But Li Yuanhao refused.

Li Yuanhao once proposed to Zhao Shuo where to buy small cannonballs from Zhao Shuo, but at that time Zhao Shuo put forward additional conditions, that is, borrowing troops.

Li Yuanhao originally wanted to agree to this matter, but Li Qianshun didn't know where to get the news, so he urgently recruited Li Yuanhao to return to Anqing. In the end, Li Yuanhao and Zhao Shuo only completed the change of cities, and did not realize the matter of borrowing troops and buying small cannonballs.

In Zhao Shuo's victory in Chang'an, the flexible movement of small cannonballs pinned down the army of Qi outside Chang'an City and caused a lot of damage to the Qi army, which made Li Yuanhao extremely excited and more urgent to obtain small cannonballs.

And now Zhao Shuo needs a war horse, and he has a request for him, he feels that this is an opportunity, and it may be the last chance. Therefore, regardless of Zhang Chujiu's purchase of silver taels, he did not answer to Ben, and only discussed with Zhang Chujiu the plan of exchanging war horses for shells.

Zhang Chujiu was helpless, and put forward the idea of returning to Chang'an to discuss with Zhao Shuo, and then talking back to Li Yuanhao.

This is a normal thing, if you can't talk about it, you can go back and report it, you can continue to talk about it, and if you can't talk about it, forget it.

But Li Yuanhao directly refused, and then asked people to send Zhang Chujiu back to the post house, and then sent someone to take care of him, and entertained Zhang Chujiu with good food and drink, but he was not allowed to leave the post house for half a step.

Li Qianyuan did not understand Li Yuanhao's approach. I asked Li Yuanhao many times, but Li Yuanhao did not answer. In Li Qianyuan's opinion, if he is not happy, it is a big deal to kill Zhang Chujiu. If you don't want to offend Zhao Shuo, just let it go. If you don't kill or let go, it's just closed, what's the matter!

Li Yuanhao certainly has his ideas. Just because we can't talk about it now doesn't mean we can't talk about it in the future. He was now bent on getting small cannonballs from Zhao Shuo. If Zhang Chujiu is allowed to leave, Zhao Shuo agrees that it will be easy to do, and this Zhang Chujiu will come back again. But what if Zhao Shuo doesn't agree? When the time comes, if you don't send someone to talk to him, won't this little cannonball be useless?

The State of Qi dared to raid Zhao Shuo, and Li Yuanhao believed that other forces might also raid Zhao Shuo. As long as the war is together, the importance of war horses is self-evident. Li Yuanhao believes that in such a situation, Zhao Shuo will agree even if he doesn't want to.

Although the means were a little despicable, he failed to get a small cannonball to make Western Xia strong, and Li Yuanhao didn't care anymore.

The yellow-headed Uighurs entangled the Qiangtang tribe, the Subi tribe, and the Duomi tribe to attack Longyou and besiege the Longyou capital to protect the mansion, which just provided Li Yuanhao with an opportunity.

Li Yuanhao has been waiting for this opportunity for many months. Now when he heard Li Qianyuan's words, he waved his hand and said. "See, of course I have to see, hurry up! There's no point in too late. ”

Li Yuanhao sent Li Qianyuan out, he is now excited, but also worried, excited that the small cannonball is likely to arrive this time. The worry is that once Longyou's Shi Lance and Shi Zong can't bear it, once the Longyou generation falls, Zhao Shuo will definitely change his strategy. With Zhao Shuo's nature, he had a small cannonball in his hand, even if it was difficult to drive away the yellow-headed Uighurs in a short period of time and take back Longyou. However, it was also difficult for the Yellow-headed Uighurs to penetrate deep into Zhao Shuo's control area.

Once this happens, Zhao Shuo's demand for war horses will decrease. At that time, perhaps, he would send people to the rest of the places to look for war horses, and then slowly map out Longyou, this situation is not what Li Yuanhao wants to see.

Li Yuanhao was worried that Zhao Shuo would go to the rest of the place to look for war horses, but he didn't know that Zhao Shuo had already acted.

Zhang Chujiu was soon brought over.

This time, Li Yuanhao was very enthusiastic, and as soon as Zhang Chujiu entered the door, Li Yuanhao got up and walked towards him.

"Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I really miss me."

Zhang Chujiu bowed. "Zhang Chujiu, the envoy of the King of Song, visited the King of Xiping. I don't know what advice King Xiping has for coming to me this time. ”

"Brother Zhang, these days, there are many offenses, many offenses." Li Yuanhao looked kind. "Calling you here this time is still a matter of war horses."

"If it's the same as before, there's no need to talk about it." Zhang Chujiuyi arched his hand and said.

"The conditions are the same as last time, but, in order to express the sincerity of this king, the number of small cannonballs exchanged for the war horse can be adjusted again." Li Yuanhao said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, there shouldn't be anything to discuss about this! Small cannonballs are the secret weapons of our army, and the King of Song will never sell them. Zhang Chujiu said.

"Brother Zhang, you just need to go back and tell King Song about my conditions, as for whether he agrees or not, you don't have to worry about it." Li Yuanhao said.

"King Xiping agreed to let me go back?" Zhang Chujiu asked with some confusion.

"Brother Zhang is here to talk about cooperation, what reason does this king have not to let you go back?" Li Yuanhao looked at Zhang Chujiu. "Brother Zhang wants to go back when he wants, just go back, no one will stop him."

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Chujiu thought about it, he had been in Yanzhou for several months, and it was time to go back and report to Zhao Shuo.

"King Xiping's conditions, I will tell King Song when I go back." Zhang Chujiu saluted again. "If King Xiping has nothing else to do, then I will take my leave."

"Go, go!" Li Yuanhao waved his hand. He is now looking forward to Zhang Chujiu going back to see Zhao Shuo as soon as possible.

After Zhang Chujiu left Li Yuanhao's mansion, in order to prevent Li Yuanhao from changing his hexagram, he did not return to the post station, and went directly out of the city and ran back to Chang'an.

After returning to Chang'an, Zhang Chujiu went straight to Zhao Shuo's mansion and reported Li Yuanhao's conditions to Zhao Shuo.

After listening to Zhang Chujiu's report, Zhao Shuo frowned slightly. "This Li Yuanhao, really know how to find time, war horses for shells? It's a shame that he came up with it! (To be continued.) )
