Chapter 227: Luring the Wolf into the House
There was a time when people in high positions would always say that the task was the highest, just like when the emperor said that the world was the greatest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But the reality is that the final national affairs are still decided by those few people, and there is no guarantee of what mood he decides.
Just like Sima Yan, a second ago, he also asked Jia Chong to lead an envoy to Shu Han, just to delay Shu Han's offensive.
But in the next second, Sima Yan, who got Jia Chong's report, was furious and anxious at the same time, because Liu Chen was blatantly digging up his three princes and nine kings, even if they were only in name.
Write the book hard, stamp it, and then let the 800 miles be sent to Yangzhou urgently and delivered to Du Pre's hands.
Du, who had been instructed by Sima Yan, had the army retreat three miles in advance, and in Sun Yi's doubts, he said that the Jin State was willing to make friends.
Sun Yi couldn't make a decision, so he hurriedly sent someone to send a letter to Lu Kai in Chao County.
After that, the news reached Sun Hao's ears, and when he got the news, Sun Hao was naturally overjoyed and sent Pu Yangxing to negotiate with Du Pre.
At the same time, Liu Chen, who was in Shudu, also knew the news of Jia Chong's sneaking.
"Your Majesty, do you want to go and chase the old thief back?"
Zhuge Jing frowned when he saw Liu Chen, thinking that Liu Chen was difficult to decide, so he couldn't help but speak.
Looking at Liu Cong, who was looking confused on the other side, Liu Chen suddenly smiled and said unconcernedly:
"Since he is so anxious, let Huang De lead a team of people to escort them back, and if there is a problem in the province, it will be blamed on Lone's head."
Zhuge Jing sent the order, and Liu Cong saw some of the situation and said curiously:
"Your Majesty doesn't send troops and horses to chase Jia Chong back, aren't you afraid of letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"
Seeing that Liu Cong was calling His Majesty smoothly one by one, Liu Chen's heart gradually became vigilant, after all, Liu Yuan had established the existence of Qianzhao.
The Xiongnu men are all elite cavalry, and a tribe can form a cavalry regiment of 1,000 people, and at this time, Liu Bao's hands have no less than 300,000 troops.
Although thinking like this, Liu Chen still smiled quietly, waved his hand and said:
"The two armies are fighting, and if they don't kill them, won't this weaken the name of Lone."
Liu Chen's words gave Liu Cong a feeling of fame, and he degraded Liu Chen's impression a little bit in his heart.
As the king of a country, you can't be ruthless, how can you let a country survive in troubled times?
"Jin thieves usurped Cao Wei, Cao Wei was even more usurped to offer the emperor, the emperor was weak back then, so he let the thieves steal the Han court, and now Shu Han is gradually rising, but the people are lacking, and the foundation is not abundant, so Xinghan has been making difficult progress, hey!"
Liu Chen cried about Shu Han's poverty, and at the same time paid attention to Liu Cong's reaction, but on the surface, he was so sincere and emotional.
Seeing Liu Chen say this, Liu Cong also showed sympathy, and said in agreement:
"Your Majesty expresses deep sympathy for the suzerain's country for this plight, but Your Majesty is wise and martial, and I think the Han will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties."
While speaking, he glanced at the entourage standing next to him, a steady man, with a restrained aura all over his body, which was quite different from the Hun soldiers who had a fierce aura.
Liu Chen also pretended not to see it, and continued to speak:
"Today, I heard that Ling Khan actually unified the grassland, hanging troops and plugging the side, and he was very happy, just waiting for your army to arrive, both sides will attack at the same time to calm down this chaos."
Liu Chen's meaning was very clear, that is, he hoped that the Xiongnu would send troops to assist him in eliminating the living forces of the Jin State, so that he would also relieve some of the pressure.
Liu Cong came to negotiate this matter this time, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed, so he got up and agreed.
But for some reason, when he came into contact with the eyes of the person next to him, he suddenly changed his meaning and said:
"Your Majesty's loss of will is also the wish of the ministers, but the land of the Xiongnu is barren, and the war has been raging for many years, and now it is also weak, and countless people, horses and livestock have died of starvation, and many tribes have gradually become uncontrollable, and chaos has been born."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Chen almost choked, this Liu Cong is only in his twenties, younger than Liu Chen, so how can he have these thoughts.
Quietly glancing at the person next to him, Liu Chen knew that these were prepared in advance.
"Since the Xiongnu are also quite difficult, then Lone can't watch the Huns in turmoil, after all, the Huns have been friends with the Han family for generations, well, Lone will remove 80,000 stone money and grain from the soldiers' rations to fund your army."
Hearing the word 80,000 stones, Liu Cong still couldn't help shaking, and his face was covered with surprise.
You must know that 80,000 stone grain and grass can feed 100,000 soldiers and horses for a month, which is a general situation, not including adding some other things.
The Huns eat more cheese and mutton, so if it is mixed, Liu Cong feels that these 80,000 stone grain and grass can make 100,000 soldiers and horses last for a month and a half.
But thinking of Liu Yuan's explanation before, he still said with difficulty:
"Your Majesty also knows that the Hun army of 300,000 has cost countless people, and now it is the late October, and then it will be the cold winter of March, so now there is still a gap of 12, no, 150,000, I hope Your Majesty can help."
When Liu Cong spoke, he couldn't help blushing a little, because he almost explained his minimum requirements, his mind was not weak, but his experience was still lacking.
Liu Chen listened carefully to Liu Cong's words, and also felt the 'difficulty' in Liu Cong's words, and said after agreeing:
"In this way, Gu Xian will use 100,000 stone money and grain in exchange for your ministry to send 100,000 troops to attack Shangjun and Yanmen, and if you take a county, you will send another 50,000 grain and grass."
The first 100,000 made Liu Cong, who was originally happy, frown a little, but the words in the back made him very happy, and even the 'guard' behind him opened his eyes.
They thought that Liu Chen might bargain, and the highest expectation was only 120,000, and the bottom line was 80,000, but they just needed to discuss it.
The answer now far exceeded the expectations of the two, and with the acquiescence of the man, Liu Cong nodded on the spot.
For them, it is not very difficult to capture Shangjun and Yanmen County, but there is not enough benefit for the time being, so that those who look like each other nod.
Now what Liu Chen has come up with is enough to attract those misers and white-eyed wolves, and the key is that the attraction behind is even greater.
A county can get 50,000 stones, so as long as a county is conquered, the advantage of the Great Wall will no longer exist, and the back 50,000 stones will be easy.
And Liu Chen didn't say that there are only two counties, if there are two more counties......
Thinking that a battle would allow 800,000 Huns to survive the winter safely, Liu Cong couldn't help but want to think about Liu Bao's good news.
Seeing the two of them like this, Liu Chen also smiled, but immediately became upright and said:
"Lone needs the help of your army, and he also needs those cities and counties, but what Lone doesn't want is countless ruins, I hope you can understand!"
Liu Chen's worries Liu Cong can still understand, after all, the Hun bandit tradition is very terrible, all the way to the end, it is really possible to leave a place of ruins.
"This ...... Isn't the Yellow Envoy in the clouds, and how about he overseeing it? ”
The emperor's envoy is referring to Huang Chen, who is still in the clouds and Liu Bao's big tent.
Hearing this, Liu Chen looked moved, but immediately shook his head and said:
"No, the strength of one person is still not enough, so let's send five hundred people to wait, and let them serve as the supervisors of the army at that time, not to interfere in the battle, and only control your army and not to harass Baixin, how about it?"
Liu Cong calculated in his heart that five hundred people would be installed among the 100,000 people, at most one of the 200 people, although he could supervise the Xiongnu troops, it was impossible to go against the tide single-handedly, so he agreed.
Then, the news of Liu Chen's alliance with the Xiongnu came out, and at the same time, countless grains and grasses gathered from various cities and counties in Shuzhong to Guzang, ready to be transported from there into the land of Hetao.
Hearing this, Liu Yan asked anxiously:
"Your Majesty, the Huns are greedy and ferocious, and letting them into the Central Plains may be luring wolves into the house, and the time will ......"
Liu Yan's worries have been recognized by many people, and Qian Zhou was directly aggressive, slapping the table and shouting:
"If you are not of our race, your heart will be different, how can you lure a wolf into the house?"
Liu Chen didn't explain much about these, but after appeasing them, he said something mysteriously, which made those people have to be quiet.
"Do you believe in loneliness, or do you believe in Han civilization?"
Thinking of the five hundred people he selected, Liu Chen smiled confidently and said secretly:
I want Lone's grain and grass, I still want to occupy the Central Plains city, and I want the Huns to ride it!
