Chapter 2013: Bloodwood

King Han had already noticed that something was wrong with the Red Refining Electricity, and asked softly, "Dianshuai, what is your injury?" ”

As soon as he asked, he heard Huo Xingda lose his voice: "What is this?" But he looked at one of the wrists of Chi Lian Electric in astonishment, and King Han took a closer look, but saw a clear scar on the vein of Chi Lian Dian's hand.

"They have already broken the veins of my hands and feet." Chi Liandian's voice was unusually calm, "They have always been afraid of me, so they can't move!" Chi Lian Dian let out a strange laugh: "I have been in the world for half my life, but I didn't expect to end up like this!" ”

King Han was also surprised in his heart, he never thought that the tendons and veins of the red refining electric hands and feet would be broken.

"Dianshuai, let's go back now and find a doctor to help you heal your injuries." King Han said softly.

Chi Liandian smiled slightly, and said to Huo Xingda: "Huo Zhizhou, you go out first, this governor has something to say to His Highness!" ”

Huo Xingda looked at King Han, King Han hesitated for a moment, and nodded slightly, "Huo Zhizhou, you just wait outside, don't go far." ”

Huo Xingda knew what King Han meant and withdrew.

"Your Highness, now that the matter has come to this, we have something to say." "Even if I want to go back to the Governor's Palace, of course Your Highness won't let me go back. ”

King Han sighed and said, "I'm just afraid that when Dianshuai returns to the Governor's Palace, it will be the time to kill me." ”

"Your Highness is right." Chi Lian said with a smile: "It's human nature that you have such concerns. It's just a hundred thousand troops in Liaodong, I don't know if His Highness can control it in the palm of his hand? ”

King Han looked at the red refining electricity and said: "If the electric marshal can give teaching, this king will definitely treat the electric marshal's family well, and he will definitely give the electric marshal a grand funeral!" ”

Chi Liandian said with a smile: "I have been here for a long time, and I don't know anything about the outside world, but according to my guess, the Liaodong Army must have already sent troops but I don't know if it has reached Hexi now?" ”

"Dianshuai is really shrewd." King Han said: "The Liaodong Army has already fought through Yanshan, and now it is stationed in Hexi, the road is closed by heavy snow, and the logistics supply is difficult, so it has not continued to march for the time being." ”

Chi Liandian sighed and said, "If Your Highness wants to compete for the world, at the beginning, he should not have attacked Hexi, and attacking Hexi can only be a lose-lose." In a corner of Liaodong, the output is limited, money and food are tight, to compete for the world, the first thing to do is to expand the territory, have a place to replenish money and grain, which is why I will send troops to Fuhaidao. There is a salt field in Fuhai Road, you can get a lot of money, take Fuhai, and then attack Hebei, although there are many people and horses in Hebei, but it is by no means the opponent of Liaodong Iron Cavalry, and the Liaodong army attacks Hebei, the forces of the world will only sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, no one will help the Qingtian King! His expression was still calm, but there was a hint of brilliance in his eyes, "If you keep attacking Hebei, Hebei will sooner or later be in the mouth of the Liaodong Army. ”

King Han looked at the red refining electricity and sighed: "If this king really controls the Liaodong army, he will also choose this path, but unfortunately the Liaodong army is not the descendant of this king, and this king is not sure that he can always control them in his hands, so in a limited time, I can only use them to fight Hexi." ”

"I know the feud between His Highness and Dingwu." Chi Liandian smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, today, the Liaodong Army has attacked Hexi, and the entire strategic deployment has already deviated seriously, and it is already difficult to compete for the world. Relying only on Liaodong will not be able to feed 100,000 Liaodong troops, and if the Liaodong Army continues to fight, once there is a slight setback in the front-line war and cannot be quickly resolved, the Liaodong Army will fall into a desperate situation! ”

King Han frowned and said, "Dianshuai said this, I don't know what he meant?" ”

"The soldiers and horses in Liaodong were all trained by me." Chi Liandian sighed lightly: "I can let His Highness have the name of commanding the Liaodong Army, but I only hope that His Highness can agree to one condition for me." ”

"Conditions?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, when this time comes, I will not think about my life and death." Chi Liandian said lightly: "I have been fighting for half my life, and now my hands and feet are useless, and I can't even stand up, so I have no reason to live anymore." But the children of Liaodong should not be sent to death in vain, I only hope that His Royal Highness can order all the soldiers and horses of Liaodong to withdraw to Liaodong. ”

"Withdraw to Liaodong?" King Han frowned.

Chi Lian said: "The use of soldiers is a big deal, and it is not child's play. In order to retaliate against Dingwu, His Royal Highness used all the soldiers and horses of Liaodong, relying only on a momentary will, and had no long-term plan. If my guess is correct, now Liaodong's money and food are already stretched, there is no sufficient logistics, no matter how many soldiers and horses there are, they can't win the battle, but they want to let the Liaodong athletes die in vain. ”

"It seems that the electric marshal can't trust the soldiers under his command." King Han said with a smile: "Dianshuai asked them to withdraw because he didn't want them to die in vain, but what if they withdrew to Liaodong?" ”

"Withdraw to Liaodong, blockade Yanshan, and swallow Fuhai as soon as possible." Chi Liandian said: "Your Highness, don't forget, behind Liaodong, there is Goryeo!" ”

"Goryeo?" King Han frowned and said, "Will Goryeo take advantage of the fire to rob?" ”

"Maybe they've sent spies to Liaodong to find out." Chi Lian said: "If the soldiers and horses of Liaodong are smooth, they may not move, but once there is a slight setback on the front line, then the Goryeo people will never miss the opportunity, they will definitely come to the nest, and at that time, Liaodong will suffer from the enemy on its back, and a great disaster will come." ”

King Han didn't speak, just looked at the red refining electricity.

"Return to Liaodong and recuperate." Chi Lian said: "Take Fuhai first, and then take Hebei if possible, and occupy these places, even if Your Highness can't get the world, it is not impossible to dominate a corner." If Fuhai and Hebei are not taken, and only Yanshan is used as the way to send troops, then Liaodong will be in trouble sooner or later! There was a hint of begging in his eyes: "Your Highness, you can't let Liaodong Jian'er die in vain, let them come back!" ”

King Han was thoughtful, and after a while, he asked, "If I promise you, do you have a way to make the Liaodong army obey the commander of this king?" ”

A smile appeared on Chi Liandian's lips: "Your Highness, don't forget, the Liaodong Army was brought out by me, and in the whole world, only I can make Your Highness get his wish." ”

"Okay, how do you tell the king how to get them to follow him with all his heart?" There was a hint of expectation in King Han's eyes.

Chi Liandian said: "Then does His Highness agree to let the Liaodong Army withdraw its troops and come back?" ”

King Han nodded and said, "This king promises!" ”

"Can Your Highness swear?" Chi Liandian didn't seem to be at ease, "Can Your Highness swear to the heavens that he will never send troops to Yanshan until he takes Hebei Province?" ”

King Han frowned and said, "Dianshuai, you can't trust this king?" This king is the prince of Great Qin, a royal nobleman, and he is a man of his word, since I agreed, can I still regret it? ”

Chi Liandian sighed lightly and said: "Your Highness should know that in order to control the Liaodong Army, the first thing is to make the Liaodong Thirty-six Cavalry bow down and obey orders, as long as the Thirty-six Cavalry can be desperate for His Highness, it will naturally not be a problem to command the Liaodong Army." ”

"The king knows." King Han nodded and said, "It's just that thirty-six horsemen can be dead set on this king?" ”

"Thirty-six horses are my cronies who brought them out." Chi Lian said: "My words, they still don't dare to disobey!" A faint smile appeared on his lips: "Of course, today, it is naturally impossible for His Highness to let me see them, so there is only one way to make them believe in His Highness." ”

King Han asked, "What way?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the thirty-six horsemen are now obeying His Highness's orders, just because in their opinion, I am controlled by His Highness." Chi Liandian said slowly: "They are only concerned about my safety now, so they obey His Highness's order, not from the bottom of their hearts, let alone from the bottom of their hearts. But as long as I take out one thing, they will believe that I have made them loyal to His Highness, and with what I know about them, as long as I open my mouth, they will still be dead set on His Highness. ”

"What's that?" King Han hurriedly asked.

Chi Liandian hesitated for a moment before saying, "Blood Wood!" ”

"Bloodwood?" King Han was stunned.

"The world only knows that the Thirty-Six Horsemen are my subordinates, but no one knows, and I have always regarded them as brothers." Chi Liandian said slowly: "Back then, I swore to these thirty-six people as brothers with different surnames, and swore to live and die together, and they also vowed to obey my orders for the rest of their lives. At the time of our prayers, we made a blood alliance, and the blood of thirty-seven people, including me, was dripped into a piece of wood, which was made in the shape of a scimitar, and which was impregnated with our blood, and this matter was known only to us, and not to others. Among the thirty-six horsemen, but if someone dies, there will be an heir or brother to take his place, and the first thing is to inform the blood wood of the year to swear! ”

King Han understood and said softly: "Dianshuai is saying that as long as they have this blood wood in their hands, they will believe my words and be loyal to me?" ”

"This is our secret, no outsiders know, if His Highness gets the blood wood, they will see it, and they will know that I am sincere in handing over the military power of Liaodong to His Highness." "As long as Your Highness gets the Blood Wood, they will swear allegiance to you. ”

"Where is that Bloodwood now?" King Han asked.

Chi Liandian still had some concerns: "Does Your Highness guarantee that after getting the blood wood, you will let the Liaodong Army withdraw and return?" ”

"In fact, what Dianshuai said is good, we must start from the overall situation, and we have been sending troops from Yanshan, and the back road is difficult, which is indeed the fatal wound of the Liaodong Army." King Han said: "This king will order the withdrawal of troops, first fight Fuhai, and then go down to Hebei, and will not let Liaodong Jian'er take risks!" ”

Chi Liandian breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "In that case, I will inform Your Highness of the whereabouts of the blood wood!" ”
