Chapter 271 Envoy [II]

Luo Bao nodded silently, but the solemn expression on his face did not fall. Don't look at the conditions, there are not many, just two. Because of this, Luo Baonan knew that this condition would definitely not be easy to handle. Thinking about this condition is equivalent to a huge assassination history in Anhua Prefecture and forgiveness of the great crime of rebellion, you know that you will not get there easily!

"First, and most importantly!" Speaking of this, Ou Xifan glanced at Luo Bao. Luo Baolan's face showed a little irritability, but he didn't speak, his eyes stared at Ou Xifan. "Hand over Feng Changqi's wives and concubines, all of them! You don't need me to explain why, right? ”

Liao Ao said coldly on the side: "Sir, this condition is unavoidable, right?" King Yue has been captured alive, just hand over his son-in-law and wife! After all, it hurts the family to kill them all! ”

Ou Xifan glanced at Liao Ao behind him, and said with a sneer: "Did you hurt Tianlun, I don't know!" But I just remember a remnant poem that Wei Wang Chitose said! Killing one is a crime, and slaughtering ten thousand is a hero. Slaughter 9 million, that is, the male of the male! Liao Ao's soldiers, what do you think of this remnant poem? ”

Liao Ao may not be familiar with poetry books, but this residual poem is straightforward, and even a person in the market can understand it.

Red. Bare. Naked killing, a breath of a fierce beast suddenly came

Liao Ao seemed to see that above him, a tall god of war looked down at him with a cold gaze. Drops of blood, flowing from the god of war, are not the god of war, but the blood of the enemy who died under the god of war.

"Although we haven't met, I already feel his horror!" Liao Ao couldn't help but shudder, and didn't dare to answer Ou Xifan's question.

"What does the festival marshal think of the prince's remnant poem?" Ou Xifan didn't point the finger at Liao Ao, Luo Baolan is the one who really calls the shots!

Luo Bao muttered when he heard this, showed an unnatural smile, and said: "I have heard for a long time that King Wei is a thousand years old and talented in literature, and now I hear it, and it is really a vain man under the fame!" Hehe! ”

"Then the first one, I don't know if the marshal agrees or not? If you don't agree, then the second one, there is no need to say it! Ou Xifan was unimpressed by Luo Bao's hypocritical praise and quietly exerted pressure.

Luo Baolan was immediately stabilized by Ou Xifan's words, and he didn't know what to say.

Liao Ao interjected and said: "Such a big matter, I made a hasty decision, I'm afraid that Mr. also thinks that the marshal doesn't have much sincerity about this!?" Mr. Mo said the second condition first, let the marshal think for a while, so that no matter what reply he makes, it also shows that the marshal has made up his mind! What do you think? ”

When Luo Bao heard this, he was secretly relieved in his heart, and said busily: "What Liao Ao said is exactly what General Ben wanted to say just now. ”

Ou Xifan pondered for a while, and felt that although Liao Ao's words had the flavor of pushing and procrastinating, it was not an unreasonable delaying tactic. Therefore, although Ou Xifan was a little unwilling in his heart, he still said rationally: "It's that I didn't think about it just now, so let me talk about the second condition first!" ”

"Sir, please!" Luo Baonan weighed the pros and cons in his heart, and said hello with a clear lack of concentration.

"Allow five hundred Song troops to be stationed in Xia Anhua Prefecture!" Ou Xifan said simply, but at this moment, Ou Xifan's eyes flickered a little, obviously Ou Xifan's heart was not calm.

"Impossible!" Luo Baonan couldn't sit still and flatly refused.

Liao Ao said with a gloomy face: "Sir, your condition is not like what diplomacy should be!" You are a scholar, and you are a famous sage in Yizhou, and you should know the sentence "On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to snore"! ”

Ou Xifan sighed faintly in his heart, paused, and said, "What you said also makes sense!" However, in order to show the loyalty of Anhua Prefecture to the Great Song Dynasty, it is okay not to garrison troops! But troops must be sent to fight against Meng Hanyang together with the imperial court officials and soldiers! ”

"How many troops do you need?" Luo Baonan is not stupid, sending out a soldier is also called sending troops, and sending out an army of 10,000 is also called sending troops, but the gap is needless to say!

"No less than five thousand!" As soon as Ou Xifan's words came out, Luo Baonan and Liao Ao's faces immediately changed.

"Impossible!" Liao Ao flatly refused. "Sir is also familiar with the situation in Xia Anhua Prefecture, even in its heyday, Xia Anhua Prefecture is only this kind of troops. What's more, now that it has been defeated, food, armor, horses, etc. have been lost. Frankly to tell you, it is said that there are 5,000 people, and with the current power of Anhua Prefecture, it is already the blessing of the ancestors to be able to gather 500 soldiers! ”

Ou Xifan knew that Liao Ao's words naturally could not be true, and based on what Ou Xifan had seen all the way, he said that with the current situation in Xia'anhua Prefecture, it was impossible to gather 5,000 soldiers and horses. But to really say that it is difficult to even gather to five hundred, it would be an exaggeration.

Ou Xifan was silent, and there was silence in the hall.

Luo Baonan couldn't help but be secretly anxious in his heart, could it be that he messed things up? Frankly speaking, for Song Jun, Luo Baolan was really stunned from the bottom of his heart. Not to mention anything else, Zhao Yu, the king of the guards, alone was terrifying, with less than a thousand soldiers and horses, and 25,000 people. The Overlord of Ancient West Chu is just like that!

Once that killer comes to Xia Anhua Prefecture, defeat the other party by virtue of its geographical advantage?

It's a good thing to think, but Luo Baonan knows it's impossible. Now how can Xia'anhua Prefecture be clear about internal and external troubles? Luo Baolan entered the Yue Palace, his ambition can already be said to be Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it, Feng Changyu's wife Long is angry with Luo Baolan, and he caught three hundred loyal guards under his hands, and took his son to guard in the harem.

In addition, other people in Xia Anhua Prefecture did not obey Luo Baolan very much. Some may be loyal to Feng Changqi, and some may be unconvinced by Luo Baolan, feeling that Luo Baolan cannot bring them to strength. In addition, the real power figures are more likely to think, why does this guy Luo Baolan stand on top of their heads to and pee?

Where is he going?

In other words, Feng Changqi is Luo Baonan's backer, and even if everyone has something in their hearts, they dare not speak out. It's different now, he Luo Bao is so ruthless and unrighteous, and he doesn't have any ability, why should he listen to him?

Therefore, after Luo Baolan entered the palace of King Yue, he found that things had become out of his control. Now that there are ten percent of the troops in Xia Anhua Prefecture, Luo Baonan thinks that what he can really control is less than forty percent!

Not to mention the external troubles, Meng Hanyang was originally at odds with Feng Changqi, otherwise why did he refuse to send troops when Feng Changqi sent troops to Longshui City? dragged Feng Changqi back behind.

Such unwise things have been done, do you expect him to know what it means to have cold lips and teeth? Recently, I have really been gearing up, preparing to send troops to Anhua Prefecture and be a real lord of Anhua Prefecture! And not just the lord of Zhong'anhua Prefecture, one of the three Anhua states.

Luo Baonan couldn't help but give Liao Ao a look.

When Liao Ao saw Luo Bao's eyes, he sighed in his heart, knowing that this game was going to be lost!

Why is Liao Ao so pessimistic?

Because of the standing of the three of them, Luo Baolan sat on the main seat, Ou Xifan stood in the middle of the hall, and Liao Ao stood behind not far from Ou Xifan. Luo Bao gave Liao Ao a look, Liao Ao saw it, but Ou Xifan is not blind!

"Sending troops to Anhua Prefecture, as a subordinate of the Great Song Dynasty, this is exactly what we should do!" Liao Ao spoke, breaking the atmosphere that had been silent for a long time. It's just that in this way, it is full of bitterness.

The corners of Ou Xifan's mouth curled up, revealing a knowing smile. said: "I naturally know this, so after I go back, I will persuade the prince to release some of the soldiers in Xia Anhua Prefecture." Of course, the equipment or something, it is up to the marshal to solve it himself! ”

Luo Baonan also came back to his senses, and couldn't help but secretly complain to himself in his heart, but he had to squeeze out a smile on his face and said, "General Ben is here, thank you sir first." But even so, there is not much food, and 5,000 people really can't do it! ”

Liao Ao also said in the back: "That's right, I hope Mr. will explain more in front of the prince, so that the prince can hear the voice of our Anhua Prefecture." After the deed is completed, the whole of Xia Anhua Prefecture will be very grateful to you, sir! ”

When Liao Ao said the word gratitude, he deliberately accentuated his voice.

Ou Xifan understood, what is grateful, to put it bluntly, it is just a bribe of money!

If he changes his mind, maybe Ou Xifan will still be moved. But Ou Xifan has already got Zhao Yu's promise, where can he still see this? All he was thinking about now was climbing up, where would he do such a dirty thing?

It's just that Ou Xifan's heart moved, and he secretly said in his heart: The prince didn't want Xia Anhua Prefecture to send so many troops, but he just made a price all over the sky, waiting for the other party to land and repay the money! Unexpectedly, Na Luo Bao looked fierce, but in fact he was a soft egg. If the other party said a few words, he would give in, I was afraid that it would make Liao Ao and even Luo Baonan suspicious. In this case, it is better to push the boat down the river, and if you don't want any money, take it back and hand it over to the prince.

Wouldn't this not only reflect his own wit, but also his loyalty to the prince, and the unshakable loyalty of just money?

Ou Xifan coughed twice at the moment, and said with a pretended unnatural face: "Gratitude from Xia Anhua Prefecture? Oh, that's really good! ”

Liao Ao and Luo Baonan glanced at each other, both of them were in good spirits, I am afraid that you are not greedy for money!

Luo Baolan thought about it and felt that it was good to smash Luo Baolan, so as not to have too many dreams at night. At that moment, Luo Baolan gently opened his five fingers and made a hundred mouth shapes. After a pause, he smiled and asked, "What does the gentleman think?" ”

Five hundred? Ou Xifan thinks that this price is not bad, as for whether it will be 500 Wen, Ou Xifan naturally does not think it is possible. Unless Luo Baolan didn't want to promote this incident, and provoked himself, and even let himself slander in front of the prince, let him Luo Baolan accept the military might of the Great Song Dynasty.

Otherwise, Luo Baonan would not have done such an idiotic thing.

Ou Xifan nodded slightly and said: "Although I am not from Anhua Prefecture, Sien Prefecture is adjacent to Anhua Prefecture, so I am also half of Anhua Prefecture." For the benefit of the old folks, this is naturally incumbent! ”

Liao Ao saw that Ou Xifan said loudly, but there was no actual content, and he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. "Sir's words really make me deeply admire. It's just that I don't know how much does Mr. think will be able to send troops this time? After all, even if 4,000 troops are dispatched, it will be a huge pressure for the current Xia Anhua Prefecture! ”

Luo Baonan also came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Ou Xifan's face, and his expression was a little nervous. However, with the centipede scar on his face, it looks quite fierce and vicious, and it has a bit of a threatening taste.

Ou Xifan pursed his lips and thought for a while, and said in a tone that I tried my best: "Three thousand!" The number of troops sent cannot be reduced! Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain to the prince! ”

"Sir, 3,000 is too many, isn't it?" The muscles on Luo Baolan's face twitched, and he cursed in his heart, how could his money be worth such a small number of troops?

Liao Ao also chimed in: "Yes! Sir, although it is said that the autumn harvest has just passed, don't you know what kind of situation we have in Anhua Prefecture? The people all lived by logging, fishing and hunting, and did not cultivate much. Every winter, it is said that it is tight, and dozens of people don't die that year? If you still have to send troops, I really don't know how many people will starve to death! ”

Ou Xifan said: "Then 2,500 people!" ”

Seeing that Luo Baonan still wanted to speak, Ou Xifan explained: "This really can't be less, you think about it, in the past two years, Anhua Prefecture has led people to make chaos twice, each time is bigger than the other, the first time can be called chaos, and the second time is a rebellion." ”

"These are all the actions of Feng Changqi alone, we are all forced!" Luo Baonan decisively turned his face and didn't recognize people, and he looked like a good citizen, which was wronged.

Cut! Are you still forced? Such a lie is almost the same as deceiving a three-year-old child.

It's one thing to slander in my heart, but on the surface, Ou Xifan still looked very patient, and explained: "I naturally believe the words of the handsome, but the problem is that it's useless to believe it!" The prince doesn't believe it, and even the prince believes that it's useless, the official in Bianliang City can believe it! Otherwise, he thinks that the prince is not able to govern effectively and is unable to control the southern state, and the prince will be punished, and I will be beheaded. And how to make the imperial court idle in Anhua Prefecture is full of sincerity anyway? This naturally requires more troops, otherwise it will be unconvincing! ”

Luo Bao said with a sad face: "Yes, what Mr. said is not wrong, but in terms of food, really!" Alas! ”

Liao Ao interjected at the right time and said, "I don't know if Mr. can replace us, say a few words to the prince, and borrow grain to go to Anhua Prefecture?" ”

Ou Xifan was stunned, and realized in his heart that he had said so much, all for the purpose of borrowing grain. Ou Xifan said embarrassedly: "This thing is ...... It's not easy to do! ”

"Only sir, you can save me from Anhua Prefecture! I hope you can't refuse! Liao Ao looked like he was for the country and the people, and said sincerely.

"Yes! Mr. Wanwang sent the Buddha to the west, and then help me in this matter! Luo Baonan also jumped out, putting pressure on Ou Xifan with both soft and hard measures. (To be continued.) )
