Chapter 1706: Strange Soldiers
King Han finally asked, "Do you know that Yuan Budo is not suspicious?" ”
Chu Huan only felt that this name was very familiar, thought about it for a while, and immediately remembered, and said, "What the prince said is the previous commander of the Jinling Daowei Army, Yuan Budo?" ”
King Han nodded and said, "Exactly." ”
"Yuan Budo raised troops in Jinling Road before, killed the governor of Jinling Road, and established himself as the king of Shun." Chu Huan said: "But as far as I know, he was killed by his generals a few days after he became the king of Shun. ”
King Han nodded and smiled: "Lord Chu seems to know everything about the world. ”
Chu Huan frowned and said, "Why did the prince suddenly mention Yuan Budo? Do your soldiers and horses have anything to do with him? ”
"Lord Chu, Yuan Budo is just the commander of the Jinling Dao Guards, Jinling Dao is not far from the capital, and because of this, there are not many Jinling Dao Guards." King Han said: "Full of battles, all the soldiers and horses in Jinling Dao add up, less than 20,000 people, and this is also connected to the governor's Praetorian Guard and local state soldiers, such a strength is far from being comparable to your Northwest Army and the Liaodong soldiers at the Chilian Point or even the Hexi Army of Feng Yuanpo in Hexi. That is under the nose of the imperial court, the imperial court sent troops, and within a few days, he could arrive in Jinling, did he really eat the gall of the ambitious leopard? ”
Chu Huan was stunned, and in an instant, his aura suddenly appeared, and he instantly understood something, "Could it be ...... Yuan Budo raised troops in Jinling, but he had something to do with the prince? ”
At this time, he remembered that when Yuan Budo raised troops in Jinling, it really surprised everyone, but he felt that Yuan Budo was simply stupid, and he actually forced his head at the most critical time.
Chu Huan was also puzzled for a while, since Yuan Budo sat in the position of Jinling's commander, he should not be an idiot, and it was really unbelievable to do such a thing that violated common sense.
At this time, King Han's words woke Chu Huan up for a while.
"Yes, Yuan Budo dared to raise troops, it was the king's order." King Han smiled faintly and said: "The southeast has fallen, Yingyuan has toured the north, the capital is in chaos, how many people have different aspirations, but they don't dare to act rashly, if it is not for this king, how can Yuan Budo dare to act rashly?" ”
Chu Huan frowned and said, "Yuan Budo is a commander, how can he let you command?" ”
"Because the king has made conditions that he cannot refuse." King Han said lightly: "And he also knew very well at that time that almost all the twelve guards guarding the capital were clean, and the capital was extremely empty, as long as he sent troops, it was easy to take down Kyoto." If it's just him, even if he takes Kyoto, he will face the fate of attacking it in groups, but with the king here, of course he won't worry, as long as he takes the capital, this king is the prince, standing at the head of the city, he can stabilize the situation in the capital, and at that time, he Yuan Budo is not a rebel, but a great hero who supports the king. ”
Chu Huan sighed: "The prince is far-sighted and admirable, so it seems that he is self-reliant and obedient to the king, not necessarily because he is not afraid of Yuan Budo, but because the prince promised to give him the title of king." ”
"It's much easier to talk to smart people." King Han said with a smile: "If there is no military department document obtained by this king, how can he easily mobilize the guards of Jinling?" ”
Chu Huan said: "The prince pretended to be crazy and stupid, and endured humiliation, but secretly he made a big move, and he was able to get the transfer order in the military department, and the prince really has great powers." ”
When the queen heard this, she stared at King Han, her eyes showed sadness, but she shook her head helplessly.
"It's just that Qiao Mingtang's movements are faster than this king thinks." King Han sighed: "This king knows that Qiao Mingtang is a princeling, and this king has also thought about it, once Jinling raises troops, will Xishan Qiao Mingtang act rashly?" This king thinks that the capital has become like that, the Qin State has fallen half of the wall, the world is in turmoil, thieves from all over the world have entered the clouds, and those local officials naturally have their own thoughts, Qiao Mingtang controls Xishan, and he should not be loyal to the prince, but this king is wrong, Qiao Mingtang personally led the soldiers and horses of Xishan into Beijing to rescue, and blocked Yuan Budo's ......! sighed: "The most difficult thing in this world is the human heart." ”
"That being the case, why was Yuan Budo killed?" Chu Huan asked, "Could it be that this also has something to do with the prince?" ”
"This king said that the most difficult thing in the world is the human heart." King Han said: "Yuan Budo rebelled in Jinling, set himself up as the king, sat for a few days to obey the king, he really thought he was the hero of the separatist side, the king ordered him not to take care of the capital, led the troops to attack Xishan, but he found many reasons to prevaricate, the king naturally saw through his mind, he really wanted to cut off Jinling ......!" ”
"The prince wanted a dog, but who knew that the dog had turned into a wolf." Chu Huan said: "Of course the prince will not allow such a wolf to survive!" ”
King Han said with a smile: "So this king has made an arrangement, after he became the king of Shun, he attaches great importance to his own safety, even if someone wants to kill him, it is not easy." But this king gave him a letter, and there were good things for him, of course he would meet as promised, and when he met this king, of course he would be very secretive, and he would not bring many people, but he did not know that he went to the appointment, but he just stepped into a trap. ”
Chu Huan said: "The generals under him found an opportunity, killed him, and then claimed to be the king one after another, and this was also arranged by the prince?" ”
King Han shook his head and said: "This king originally wanted to wait for him to die and then support another person to ascend to the throne, but the result was not as ...... this king thought!" ”
"The rats in Jinling who have established themselves as kings, although not all of them are the prince's people, but at least there are people all the way, and they are still obeying the prince's orders." Chu Huan sighed: "So the soldiers and horses that the prince said are in Jinling, and Jinling is now said to have three kings, King De, King Ren, and King Cheng, but I don't know which one is the puppet of the prince?" ”
King Han said: "King Meng Fei, half of the soldiers and horses in Jinling are in his hands, Governor of Chu, this should be regarded as a strange soldier of this king, right?" When your Northwest Army enters Xigu Pass, it is natural to attack Xishan Road first, and Qiao Mingtang can only transfer soldiers and horses to the west to resist, so that the Jinling soldiers will raid and cooperate with the Northwest Army to attack Xishan, if nothing else, in a very short time, you can take Xishan. ”
"It's a good ploy." Chu Huan said: "It's just that the prince also said that the soldiers and horses in Jinling are less than 20,000 soldiers, and even if Meng Fei accounts for half of the troops, it is only 10,000 people, so does the prince rely on these nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to form an alliance with the Northwest Army?" The three northwestern provinces, although barren, but after all, the foundation is there, the three roads are millions of people, the Jinling soldiers mentioned by the prince, but occupy half of the territory of Jinling, not even one, and there are several other pseudo-kings eyeing the tiger, once Meng Fei leads the troops to attack, the land occupied, will naturally soon be occupied by others, I can hardly imagine, once this army of soldiers and horses leaves Jinling, where will the logistics supply come from? ”
"Why should Lord Chu worry about this?" King Han said: "This king knows, your northwest is now in short supply of grain and grass, even if you don't enter the customs, there will be a great famine in the northwest, and there is no military disaster in Xishan Road and Anyi Road, the people of the two roads are farming as usual, and it is only a few months before the autumn harvest, as long as it is autumn, there will be a large amount of grain and grass in Xishan and Anyi, we only need to take Xishan and Anyi, and we want to feed 100,000 soldiers and horses, which is not a problem at all." ”
Chu Huan said: "I understand what the prince means. The prince took a fancy to the grain of Anyi and Xishan, and was ready to take these two before the autumn harvest. ”
King Han nodded and said: "Yes, compared to Xishan and Anyi, Hexi's grain production is far inferior, if it continues to be controlled by the Qin State in Xishan and Anyi, then after the autumn harvest, the grain of these two roads will inevitably be transferred to Hexi, the soldiers of Hexi have experienced a hundred battles, and their combat ability is extremely strong, if the grain and grass are sufficient, it will be difficult to deal with." However, if we take these two roads before the autumn harvest, the grain supply in Hexi will become a problem, and it will be much easier to deal with Hexi when the time comes. ”
Mr. Hei finally interjected at this time: "That's right, when the army marches and fights, it is better than the logistics supply of both sides. won Xishan and Anyi, one eliminated the other, and then hit Hexi, it was as easy as a snap. Governor Chu, if you lay down these two roads, your urgent needs in the northwest can be easily solved, and the northwest soldiers under your command can eat their stomachs, compared to the prince, the meaning of these two roads is more important to you. ”
"You seem to have a point." Chu Huan sighed: "If there is no Wang Ye's Jinling soldiers to cooperate with the attack, even if the Northwest Army enters the customs, if you want to take Xishan, I am afraid it will not be easy, one is not careful, and it will even stalemate for a long time, which is greatly disadvantageous to the Northwest Army, and the Jinling soldiers of the prince are allied with the Northwest Army, launch a surprise attack on Xishan, and then go north to capture Anyi, even if Hexi sends troops to rescue, with the strength of the allies, hold the checkpoint, and want to hold the place taken, it should not be difficult." ”
King Han said: "Yes, Governor Chu, now you should understand that this king's alliance with you is a great benefit to both you and me, right?" You don't have to worry about what this king will fight with you, the purpose of this king is to fight to Hexi, destroy the Qin State, take Xishan and Anyi, and you will dispose of everything, and the soldiers and horses in the hands of this king, even if they fight, will not be able to compete with your Northwest Army. This king will help you win these two first, as long as you promise this king, and then you will find an opportunity to cooperate with this king to attack Hexi, then the alliance between you and me is a combination of two benefits. ”
"Does the prince really want to help me take Xishan and Anyi, but he doesn't fight with me?" Chu Huan's eyes lit up slightly, and he took a few steps towards King Han, Mr. Hei narrowed his eyes slightly, but King Han took two steps back, and said with a smile: "Doesn't Governor Chu believe this king's words?" ”
Chu Huan frowned and said, "I believe in the prince, but the prince doesn't seem to believe me!" ”
"Oh?" King Han said: "Why did the governor of Chu say this? ”
Chu Huan said: "I want to get close to the prince, but the prince seems to be worried that Chu Huan will be unfavorable to the prince......!" ”
King Han was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "The governor of Chu is too worried, since he has formed an alliance, it is naturally frank and relative, why is this king worried that the governor of Chu is not good for this king?" The governor of Chu is a smart man, at least he understands that even if this king really falls into your hands now, it is far less useful for you to kill this king as an alliance. He put his hands behind his back and actually took two steps forward, Tian Hou frowned and reminded: "Lord Wang, be careful of this person, this person has a honey-bellied sword ......!" ”
"Tian Hou, there is no need to say more." The King of Han said angrily: "The Governor of Chu is a hero, how can he be unfavorable to this king?" From now on, this king and the governor of Chu are friends, and the grievances and grievances between us in the past have disappeared, and no one should mention them again. ”――
