Chapter 40: Borrowing Soldiers
Zhang Min touched his head, everyone knew that it was their own idea to promote Cao Cao to the marquis, and they couldn't push it on Liu Xie. Pen ร fun ร Pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
"It's like raising chickens, you have to fatten them and then slaughter them!" Zhang Min made a gesture of killing chickens and motioned to the little girl, "Understand? โ
Lu Lingqi blinked her eyes, as if she understood or not, but she couldn't say anything wrong, half loud, suddenly twisted a little, lowered her tone, and said: "Brother Meng Xuan, I'm here to borrow troops this time, do you think I want to bring some back?" โ
Zhang Min was trembling by this 'brother' call, it seems that Lu Bu is not very optimistic there, otherwise this little girl would not have come to borrow troops with a cheeky face.
"How's your father doing?"
"Very bad!" Lu Lingqi bared her teeth and cracked her teeth, her face was full of hatred, "As soon as Cao Cao saw my father, he asked a large group of people to kill him together, my father couldn't resist it alone, we could only keep retreating, and now there is only a small place left, I see that my father is frowning all day long, so he wants to come to borrow troops from you." โ
The little girl rarely had a sad look on her face, but it was extremely distressing, Zhang Min gritted her teeth, "My soldiers are your soldiers, let's not talk about borrowing or not borrowing, you can take as much as you want!" โ
The little girl was moved, and suddenly pounced on Zhang Mengxuan, gently smacked one, and then ran away with a red face, leaving only the man who was stunned in place.
After a while, Zhang Min came back to his senses, and saw that the Danyang soldiers not far away were smiling there, so he quickly straightened up and shouted: "Uncle, go and call Brother Xuande who drank with me yesterday, I have something to look for him." โ
"Got it, Lord Fujun, I'll go now." Danyang Bing left with a smile.
Zhang Min sat on the threshold, with some happy little troubles. Mi Zhen seems to have made progress, and Lu Lingqi, the little girl, seems to have hope of winning it, why don't you kill it?
"Meng Xuan, why are you sitting here?" As soon as Liu Bei entered the door, his face was strange.
After two meals, the relationship between the two has improved by leaps and bounds, and it is natural to call the name.
"I thought our champion Hou was still hiding in bed and pretending to be a bear!" Zhang Fei exposed his head from behind. "Why did you remember to call us at this time? Didn't you drink it yesterday and want to come to a few more altars? โ
Zhang Min stood up, temporarily collected his mood, and said with a smile: "Come in and sit, when it comes to drinking, I don't know who had the last laugh yesterday!" Isn't it the third master? โ
As soon as these words were asked, I saw that Zhang Sanye's face was even darker, and Guan Erye, who followed behind, was also flushed, only Liu Bei snickered beside him, and said slightly proudly: "I'm not afraid that Meng Xuan will know, I, Xuande, am the last to fall!" โ
"Big brother, how did I hear that the little lady called someone to send us all back?" Zhang Fei unceremoniously exposed him, brothers should share weal and woe, how can he be alone.
Liu Bei laughed, "We are a big husband, how can we be compared with a little woman, she can't be counted." โ
"Second brother, you come to judge!" Zhang Fei hurriedly looked for a helper.
Zhang Min looked at the three of them noisy and noisy, and was very envious, although they were not brothers, they were like siblings, and they trusted each other with their lives, and they really reached the extreme of loyalty, and it is not surprising that they will be famous in history.
"Meng Xuan, let you laugh." After Liu Bei appeased the two brothers, he looked back at Zhang Min, "You came to us today, I believe it's not just about eating and drinking, is there anything that needs to use our brothers?" โ
Zhang Fei patted his chest next to him and shouted: "If you say anything, I, Zhang Yide, promise to do it, even if that Ma Meng ran up to trouble you yesterday, I will also press him to the ground and let you dispose of it!" โ
"It's not a private fight, it's a business matter." Zhang Min hurriedly waved his hand, the third master's voice was too explosive, he was just a little dizzy, but now it became painful, "Dissatisfied Brother Xuande, I came to you this time to let you lead the army." โโฆ,
"Great!" Zhang Fei was overjoyed, and the second master next to him also opened his eyes and was full of murderous aura.
"Come, sit down." Zhang Min invited people to the house and sat down.
"Meng Xuan, do you intend to send troops to Yanzhou?" As soon as Liu Bei sat down, he couldn't help but ask.
"Exactly, now that the Yanzhou War is in full swing, Wenhou is already at the end of the crossbow, our Xuzhou and Cao Cao are enemies of life and death, and we are thinking of sending troops to help Wenhou stabilize his position."
Liu Bei looked back at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, knowing that his brother was a little impatient, "To what extent does Meng Xuan plan to help?" Do you personally command the army to go and make an alliance with Lu Fengxian, or send a partial division to let me wait by the side to involve Cao's army? โ
"The army has already made arrangements and is rushing elsewhere, I can only draw 10,000 people now for Brother Xuande to bring it over." Zhang Min pondered and asked Tai Shici to divide half of the men and horses to hand them over to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei thought about it, if Zhang Min didn't go out in person, he would lead more than 10,000 troops as soon as he came, and I am afraid it would be a little difficult to convince the public. "I heard that Cao Cao has 100,000 capable warriors under him, but with Wen Hou in front of him to resist, if it is just containment, it is enough to give me 5,000 men."
"Since it's a mortal enemy, why don't you press it without an army and take Yanzhou directly?" Zhang Fei interjected.
Zhang Min shook his head, "Yide, it's not that I have the ambition of others to destroy my prestige, even if I take all the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou to Yanzhou, I'm afraid I am not Cao Cao's opponent, I am sure to hold Xuzhou, but I have no confidence at all to win Yanzhou!" โ
"Third brother, listen to Meng Xuan." Liu Bei hurriedly asked Zhang Fei to calm down.
"Cao Cao, you have all seen it, and the three of Lu Fengxian have also fought each other." Zhang Min smiled, "Cao Cao's head is better than ours, and everyone will not question Wenhou Lu Bu's force, but now, Cao Cao led people to beat Wenhou and did not dare to go out of the city." โ
"It's those three family slaves who are timid!" Zhang Fei muttered and was glared at by Liu Bei.
"Cao Cao is now full-fledged, and there are countless capable people under him, and there are two people who can compete with Brother Yun, one is named Dian Wei, and the other is called Xu Chu, under the joint efforts of the two, plus the Xiahou brothers and others, even Lu Fengxian can only avoid it, so he is trapped in the city and can't move."
"Is there really such a fierce general?" Liu Bei asked in surprise.
Zhang Min nodded, "Brother Xuande, you have to think about it seriously, if you go this time, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Cao Cao's man was extremely treacherous, and if he was alone, he would be easily ambushed, so it was best to join forces with Lu Fengxian to hold the city. โ
"Meng Xuan wants us to hold Cao Cao back as much as possible?" Liu Bei was a little speechless and stopped.
"That's right, if Cao Cao is allowed to free his hands, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make a move on us Xuzhou, so let him be busy for a while, so that I have time to do one thing, if it is done, our Xuzhou can even stand with Yuan Shao of Hebei!"
"Can Meng Xuan tell me to wait?" Guan Erye finally spoke.
Zhang Min thought about it, and there was nothing to hide from Liu Bei and the others.
"Look at this!" Zhang Min walked into the room, took out the jade seal, and handed it to Liu Bei.
"What does it have to do with a piece of jade?" Liu Bei held it in his hand, and he couldn't understand it left and right.
"Big brother, this is the Jade Seal of the Son of Heaven!" Zhang Fei is a rich kid in the end, he has seen a lot, and he recognized it at a glance.
Liu Bei's hand shook and almost fell to the ground, looking at Zhang Min with a shocked face, "This jade seal was nowhere to be found, and it is said that it was taken away by Jiangdong Tiger Sun Wentai, how could it be in Meng Xuan's hands?" โ
"This jade seal was indeed taken away by Sun Wentai, but unfortunately he passed through Jingzhou and fought with Liu Jingsheng and unfortunately died, and this jade seal fell into the hands of his son Sun Ce, who was the Sun Bofu who drank with us yesterday. He came to me the day before yesterday and made a deal with me, exchanging this jade seal for some soldiers and horses, so that he could avenge his father. โ
"Poor Sun Wentai I hero!" Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh. โฆ,
"But what does this jade seal have to do with the big thing you said?" Zhang Fei was puzzled, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "You Zhang Mengxuan don't want to be the emperor yourself, right?" โ
When Liu Bei heard this, he suddenly looked at Zhang Min, and Guan Yu next to him also changed his expression, and a chill penetrated through his head from the bottom of Zhang Min's heart, so anxious that he shook his head again and again, "Do you look like an emperor?" โ
Liu Bei and the others were stunned for a moment, and they all relaxed, indeed, they have known each other for several days, they can still see what Zhang Min is, to put it bluntly, he is a piglet in human skin, living in a small nest, he can be idle when he is full, and he can sleep with his head covered when he has nothing to do, not like a prince at all, and there will be a dynasty and usurpation!
"Haha, when I'm kidding!" Zhang Fei smiled, looking very proud.
"Meng Xuan, don't be surprised, Yide is this virtue." Liu Bei returned the jade seal in his hand to Zhang Min and asked, "Since Meng Xuan doesn't have that thought, why don't you give this thing to the Son of Heaven?" โ
Zhang Min shook his head and pointed to the south, "I'm going to find a way to give this thing to that person over there!" โ
"Yuan Highway?" Liu Bei was puzzled, suddenly understood something, and stood up in shock, "Do you want him to stand on his own?" โ
"That's right!"
"But in this way, wouldn't my big man fall into the hands of others, this matter must not be done!"
Zhang Min threw the jade seal in his hand, "No, after I give him something, I will look at it not far away, and when he really does this kind of thing, so that everyone and even his subordinates are uneasy, I will wave my army to kill it directly, at that time, I will take back the things, and I will also grab his territory!" โ
"You're not a thing!" Zhang Fei slapped Zhang Min on the shoulder, almost knocking the person down.
"Meng Xuan's plan is really ยทยทยทยทยทยทยท" Liu Bei didn't know how to describe it, and thought about it for a while, "Isn't it too risky?" โ
"I have a mental calculation or no intention, and the certainty of winning is much higher than going to Yanzhou to compete with Cao Cao." Zhang Min rubbed his shoulders, "If you can take the land of Huainan, the entire south will no longer have to worry about it." Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng and Brother Xuande are the same clan royal relatives, no matter what, at least they will not raise troops to be enemies of the Son of Heaven, if there is enough time, I will wave the army to take the six counties of Jiangdong, and half of the world will be in the hands of the Son of Heaven! โ
"This plan works!" Liu Bei praised: "Meng Xuan is really clear-minded, if this is the case, there is hope for the Han Dynasty!" โ
