Chapter 53: Should I Go Back to the Royal City?
Ye Xiong stood on the edge of the thatched hut, looking at the house full of gold, there was no change on his face, gold was simply a useless stone for him, when he was in the royal city, the royal city rewarded tens of thousands of gold, tens of thousands of gold, even if Tianyunzhai has been robbing houses in all directions for so many years, and has also looted several cottages, it is only three thousand taels now.
"Guan Qing, how much grain is still in this cottage now?" Wang Xu asked. If only there was such a big house of food, now he not only had to feed 100,000 people, but also 35,000 soldiers waiting to eat; Now I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on to these tens of thousands of deniers of food; The absence of food means that there is nothing, and in these years grain is more precious than gold; was able to gather nearly 200,000 people in such a short period of time, relying on these foods; Just like the Battle of Guandu during the Three Kingdoms period, although Yuan Shao lost the first battle, he was able to gather 400,000 defeated soldiers immediately after the defeat, why is this? Because he has millions of deniers of food, the soldiers will only starve to death if they do not return; This shows the importance of food. But after all, Wang Xu will be disappointed, if there is still a large amount of food in Tianyun Village, when Wang Xu comes to Jingliao County, he will not pay attention to the 50,000 denier military rations; Guan Qing grimaced and said, "Lord, this gold can be grabbed, but food is not; Now there is a big drought every year, there is no harvest in the rice fields, and the grain in my Tianyun Village is about to run out."
"It's okay, I still have tens of thousands of deniers of grain in Jingliao County, and I can keep it safe in a few months" I really can't do it, I have to rob it, I have a heavy army, in this Guxi County in addition to the 100,000 horses of the prince, who else is my opponent, if one day the prince really takes the throne and attacks himself, then I don't have to be polite, Minglan County is a ready-made granary. "Order the soldiers to transport all the grain, gold, silver, and weapons in the cottage back to Jingliao County," Wang Xu said.
"No"
Three days have passed in a flash, and all the grain, gold and silver transported from Tianyun Village have been sealed, and the weapons have all been equipped with soldiers, and now 35,000 soldiers are equipped with iron weapons, but there is still a lack of armor. The purpose of coming to Jingliao this time is to help the victims and flatten Tianyun Village, now that Tianyun Village has surrendered and the food has been distributed to the victims, there is no reason for him to stay here. "Lord, are we going back to the royal city?" Ye Xiong asked.
Wang Xu really doesn't want to go back now, it's not that he wants to rebel; But here, all people respect themselves, but once they return to Wangcheng, life and death are up to themselves, but if they don't go back, Wang Xu had to say helplessly: "I was ordered to come to Jingliao to suppress bandits for disaster relief, and now that the matter is done, I have to go back." Ye Xiong persuaded: "My lord, once you return to the royal city, these 35,000 soldiers and horses will be handed over to the prince; The son of the world hates you to the core, how can he give up; Although the prince will defend the lord, he can't protect himself, how can he take care of the lord."
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I have to go back, otherwise I will support the army and deliberately rebel, and I will be killed!" Wang Xu sighed lightly and said, "Go and give the order, tomorrow's army will return to Wangcheng."
Ye Xiong was about to leave, Wang Xu seemed to think of something, and hurriedly stopped Ye Xiong, saying, "Wait a few more days, and wait for the scout I sent to Wangcheng to send back the news." Long before coming to Jingliao, the prince and the prince were already tense, and they came to Jingliao to suppress the bandits and took away two thousand ancient western city guards, it can be said that the time when he came to Jingliao was the weakest moment for the defense of the royal city; Maybe it won't be long before the prince will act. When he attacked Languan half a month ago, Zhu Huan dared to confront himself so arrogantly, most likely because he was instructed by the prince, otherwise, he was ordered by the prince to come to Jingliao to suppress bandits, how could he dare to openly stop it? If analyzed in this way, the fall of the royal city was only in the blink of an eye.
Nima, if you go back, you will die, and if you don't go back, you will die, once the royal city falls, the prince is in power, and the first person to deal with is himself, an army of 100,000, what will Lao Tzu take to resist.
"Lord, the order of the royal city has arrived" Jia Hui hurriedly walked into the room and said. "Let's go, go and get orders".
When the three of them came to the county yamen, they saw that the soldiers who had given the order were already waiting there.
"General Jingliao received the order," the soldier took out a document and said.
Wang Xu held on slightly, and the soldier read aloud: "The prince led the army to rebel, Wangcheng is in danger, and quickly recruit Wang Xu, the general of Jingliao, to return to the division to rescue." "Wang Xu received the order" took the paperwork, and Wang Xu turned around and walked into the county office.
Now that it's over, whether you return to the royal city or not, you have to face the 100,000 army; If you go back, the military power will definitely be gone, let alone the prince of the world, even a small county order can kill yourself, and without the military power is like a tiger with teeth extracted; But if you don't go back, the consequences are needless to say.
After pondering alone for several hours, Wang Xu didn't come up with a way to save him.
The sun sets, the sun shines, and the city of Jingliao is red like fire.
The lobby of the government office.
Wang Xu decided to convene all the generals to discuss countermeasures, and the three Zhuge Liang were stinkers, just like the attack on Languan, wasn't it also a method that was brainstormed.
The participants of the meeting were Jia Hui, Sun Yu, Zhang Meng, Huang Quan, Guan Qing, Guan Hua, Liao Yun, Ye Xiong, Feng Hu, Chu Jun; and thirty-five lieutenants; Oh, by the way, Zhang Xue also participated, this is Wang Xu's concession, originally women were not allowed to appear on this occasion, but the battle of Tianyunzhai shows that the little girl still has a very good way. More than 40 people attending the meeting seemed to be a little crowded and noisy in the hall, Wang Xu signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I invite everyone to come today, there is nothing else, I just want to talk to everyone."
Talk? Everyone was stunned, not knowing what Wang Xu meant.
Ignoring everyone's doubts, Wang Xu continued: "The prince has been peeping at the throne for a long time, two months ago, the prince paid a private visit, and the prince tried to harm him, Wang Xu was fortunate to finally save the prince after several twists and turns, and brought the prince back to the royal city safely, and it is precisely because of this that I was named a general."
"But everything has advantages and disadvantages, while sealing the general, I also offended the prince, and on the way to Jingliao, it has been proved that the prince hates me to the core, and wants to kill first and then quickly." Before Wang Xu finished speaking, Zhang Meng shouted loudly: "He dares, don't worry, the lord will protect the lord to the death."
"Swear to protect the lord to the death".
