Chapter 123: Who Are You Helping?
Before Meng Duan's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhang Duan waving his hand, and he said with a straight face: "The military advisor of the Qin army, Zhang Wumo is a soldier, although he was ordered to go on the expedition this time, but he only wants to discuss when to attack and how to attack, and I don't want to know more about other side matters." ”
Meng Idiot was bored with himself, but he didn't feel embarrassed, he knew in his heart that Zhang Duan's trick was called oil and salt, and he could only knock on the side, not hard.
In the palace, everyone looked at Meng Idiot and Zhang Duan intently, and they couldn't help but see some clues from their faces, and they were able to analyze what they were thinking in their hearts. However, judging by the expectant and disappointed expressions of the onlookers, it is clear that these two men have hidden their emotions and thoughts well.
"Okay, Envoy Zhang, no, I should call you General Zhang, since the general has come this time and already has an idea in his chest, why don't you say it first, so that the old man and everyone present can listen to it?" As he spoke, the idiot gestured with his hand in a gesture of invitation, alluding to everyone present.
Zhang Duan said lightly: "Now, the name of the lord of Hongnong is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, in fact, Wang Yun controls the government, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops under his command, and there are fierce generals such as Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun. ”
After hearing this, the idiot thought about it carefully, and asked rhetorically, "Capture Wang Yun?" What are the emperors of the Han Dynasty, Li Dao and Guo Yan going to deal with? ”
"The lord of my family believes that the current turmoil of the Han Dynasty has risen, and the Han Dynasty exists in name only, the so-called emperor. It's just a title, but that's it. The emperor is also the symbol of the world, and the imperial power exists. Fame and fortune are there, the imperial power is abolished, and meritorious deeds are gone. If Hongnong can be pacified this time, my father-in-law will naturally settle it properly. ”
Zhang Duan's words, don't say that he is an idiot, even Zhao Yue felt disdainful in his heart when he heard it.
Zhao Yue felt that this eldest brother was really rotten wood and could not be carved, and he held the imperial power, but it was just for fame and fortune. It must be known that if you want to dominate one side in troubled times, the pursuit of fame and fortune is certainly one thing, but more importantly, it is more important to appease the people and gain the hearts of the people.
From this point of view, Zhang Duan is really just a general, and he can't have both political strategy, so letting him send an envoy is enough to see the reckless military force within Li Dao Guo Yan's forces.
However, Zhao Yue's memory suddenly went back to before. He vaguely remembered that Dong Zhuo had a strategist named Jia Xu under his command in the past, who seemed to be more resourceful, but because of an accidental strategic mistake, he was never looked down upon by Dong Zhuo again. Now that person should also be under the hands of Li Dao and Guo Yan.
"If I have the opportunity to destroy Li Dao and Guo Yan and take Chang'an, I must go to Xianyang first. Visit Lishan again and recruit talents from all over the world. This Jia Xu is one of them. Zhao Yue looked at Zhang Duan's serious face, and secretly felt ruthless in her heart.
On the main hall. Meng Idiot had already begun to discuss with Zhang Duan the distribution of benefits after the two sides sent troops to win.
On this issue, Zhang Duan had already received an order from Li Dao before he came, and he could promise Zhao Yue that he would cede Xin'an, Yiyang, and Luhun, three of the nine counties under the jurisdiction of Hongnong County, to Zhao Yue, but Hongnong City could never agree to give it to Zhao Yue.
So at this time, after Zhang Duan said this condition, Zhao Yue, who was sitting in the hall, was already furious when he heard it, thinking that this was a trick on him, but because he had completely handed over the matter to the idiot yesterday, he could only endure it for the time being, with a stiff smile on his face, and did not speak.
The performance of the idiot was not too intense, as if everything was under his control, this old man's mind was indeed full of wisdom, and the reason why he did not show it in front of Zhao Yue was because his loyalty covered up his edge. In front of outsiders, the strategy in his chest will be like a white rainbow running through the sun.
"Yes, however, 'come without being rude', I also want to put forward a condition on behalf of my lord."
"On what terms?" Zhang Duan frowned, he was afraid that the idiot would play some tricks when he was inadvertent, and he didn't notice it for a while.
"In this conquest of Hongnong City, Li Dao and Guo Yan must personally lead the troops, and the troops they lead must not exceed 10,000." The idiot seemed to be talking seductively, but no one knew what he was actually planning in his heart.
The people present, including Zhao Yue, were a little surprised when they heard the news. You must know that Hongnong's troops are not much, but they are not small, only relying on the 100,000 soldiers in Luoyang, even if the whole army is dispatched, the victory or defeat will not dare to be arbitrary, not to mention that it is possible to see "Lu Bu", who is known as a flying general, there.
The most fundamental thing is that Luoyang City must also have a defender, and the alliance with Cao Cao in the east has just been established, what if Cao Cao sees that their whole army is dispatched this time, Luoyang is empty, and he takes the opportunity to destroy the alliance and attack?
Zhang Duan was also a little surprised, he thought that the Meng idiot would deal with him on the issue of the city, and even if it wasn't, he would let them contribute more troops, but he never expected that the Meng idiot would make such a request.
If he agrees, it will be tantamount to reducing the loss of his lord Li Dao, and it is directly equivalent to Zhao Yuejun defeating Hongnong, and then giving it away!
"I don't know what General Wumo wants?" Meng Idiot always wore a smile, as if there was no conspiracy at all, just a sincere willingness to cooperate.
Zhang Duan quietly glanced at Zhao Yue, who was sitting in the hall, and Zhao Yue was also full of suspicion, and he couldn't make up his mind at this time. Zhang Duan judged in his heart that Zhao Yue didn't know, this was not a conspiracy discussed between their master and servant.
Let his father-in-law Li Dao and Guo Yan personally lead the troops to the expedition?
Zhang Duan couldn't figure out what was wrong with this even if he wanted to break his head, could it be that the idiot wanted the two core minds of their forces to leave Chang'an together, and then fight Chang'an's idea?
Zhang Duan felt that he was thinking too much, because from the news of the return of the envoy sent by Lord Li Dao to Xiliang Wuwei before, Ma Teng had made it clear that there would be no attack in the short term; And Zhao Yue personally led the troops to attack Chang'an, although they Luoyang is not far from Chang'an, but there is Hongnong in the middle, and most importantly, they have transferred their troops to attack Hongnong, how can they still have the energy to go to Chang'an again?
This is the first question, Zhang Duan can't figure it out, and there is a second question that he can't understand, that is, why did the idiot only let their lord lead 10,000 troops to the battle, about this, no matter from what point of view, it is a measure that will reduce the loss of their forces, from another point of view, this is to make it more difficult for Zhao Yue and them to attack the city by themselves.
