Chapter 348: Undercurrent (74)

Peng Chaodong didn't understand why Xu Hongqian was looking for him at this time, he didn't understand Xu Hongqian's intention to come this time. What is the intention www.biquge.info of Xu Hongqian to petition at this time?

Although he and Xu Hongqian are both the core figures of the Qin Party, Xu Hongqian is in charge and Peng Chaodong is in charge. There is a clear boundary between the two people, Xu Hongqian may have outstanding talents in political affairs, but in terms of military affairs, I have to say that Xu Hongqian is just an idiot and knows nothing.

The most taboo about military affairs is that laymen interfere with insiders, and once laymen intervene in military affairs, it will cause great interference to Peng Chaodong. Could it be that Xu Hongqian is going to intervene in the military this time?

Xu Hongqian speculated wildly about Xu Hongqian's intentions.

Xu Hongqian is the leader of the Qin Party, Xu Hongqian's arrival is of course different from others, and Xu Hongqian is higher than Peng Chaodong in terms of official position and qualifications. With the etiquette of officialdom, Peng Chaodong can't pose in front of Xu Hongqian.

"I don't know that Lord Shoufu is coming to the cold house, and I hope Lord Shoufu will forgive me if I miss it." Peng Chaodong went out of the house to greet Xu Hongqian.

Xu Hongqian smiled and walked down from the carriage with the help of the servants.

"Guoliang, if you talk to me like that, you'll be polite." Xu Hongqian said with a smile.

"Shousuke-sama, hurry up and enter the house." Peng Chaodong hurriedly invited Xu Hongqian into the mansion.

Xu Hongqian was not polite to Peng Chaodong, and walked into the mansion very generously.

Although Xu Hongqian and Peng Chaodong have a deep intersection, they are due to the relationship between superiors and subordinates and teachers and students. Generally, every time Peng Chaodong returns to Beijing, Peng Chaodong goes to Xu Hongqian's house to pay homage to Xu Hongqian.

As for Xu Hongqian, he has never been to Peng Chaodong's mansion once, which is understandable, from ancient times to the present, there has always been only the reason for subordinates to visit their superiors, and superiors rarely look for subordinates.

Xu Hongqian's initiative to go to Peng Chaodong's house this time is unprecedented. Of course, this is also Xu Hongqian's first time to Peng Chaodong's house.

Xu Hongqian was shocked by the shabby simplicity of Peng Chaodong's private mansion in Jingshi City. This mansion used to be the mansion of a county king, how could it be dilapidated to such an extent in the hands of Peng Chaodong?

"I didn't expect Guoliang to be so simple." Xu Hongqian said with emotion, "Guoliang, you are also an important minister of the country, there is no need to treat yourself so badly." ”

Peng Chaodong smiled and said: "Thank you Lord Shoufu for your concern, Guoliang has been mixed in the ranks all the year round, often sleeping in the open air, Guoliang is also used to military life, the conditions here are much better than Guoliang's conditions in the army, there is nothing to be picky about." ”

What Peng Chaodong said is not all lies, Peng Chaodong is indeed in the army all the year round, and sleeping in the open is also a common thing, compared with the sleeping in the open air, the conditions here are too much better.

The two of them entered the main hall as they spoke.

After entering the main hall, Peng Chaodong let Xu Hongqian sit on the chairman. Peng Chaodong sat down.

Peng Chaodong asked people to serve tea: "Guoliang has been used to staying in the army all the year round, and there is no good tea in the house, so Lord Shoufu has been wronged." ”

"Where." Xu Hongqian took a sip of tea, the tea is indeed coarse tea does not taste very good, but for Xu Hongqian, who is used to drinking famous tea every day, it feels fresh to drink coarse tea occasionally.

Xu Hongqian put down the teacup and began to cut to the chase: "Guoliang, this governor of the Qinwang Army is not easy to do, do you know." ”

Xu Hongqian asked knowingly, Peng Chaodong smiled and said: "Even if it is difficult to do, someone must do it, the emperor trusts Guoliang very much, and treats Chaodong with the courtesy of a national scholar, and Chaodong must also report to the emperor with the festival of a national scholar." ”

"Da Zhao can have a courtier like you, and the emperor can have a courtier like you, which is really a blessing." Xu Hongqian kept a smile on his face, because of his perennial experience in the officialdom, Xu Hongqian's smile seemed to be a little stiff and looked a little unnatural.

"It is the blessing of Da Zhao to have a wise king like the emperor, and it is the blessing of Da Zhao's people." Peng Chaodong said modestly.

"Guoliang, when do you plan to leave the city, and how many troops are you going to take out of the city?" Xu Hongqian's current problem is the point.

Peng Chaodong sighed and said: "Although the Qinwang army is numerous, it is just a rabble in front of the Liao army, and it is really reluctant to deal with the Liao army with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals. As for how many people Qin Wangjun took out of the city and how many people stayed in the city, Guoliang only had a preliminary plan in his heart. In the end, the emperor needs to agree. ”

"Then tell me about your initial plans now." Xu Hongqian habitually picked up the tea cup on the desk, took a sip of tea, and asked Peng Chaodong.

Peng Chaodong didn't understand why Xu Hongqian suddenly asked about this matter today, in the past, Xu Hongqian was not indifferent to military affairs, why did he suddenly become so concerned today?

This mystery shrouded Peng Chaodong's heart.

Doubts are doubts, but since Xu Hongqian asked this question, Peng Chaodong could only answer truthfully: "The Qin army brought out 70,000, stayed in Jingshi City with 30,000, and the rest of the Qin Wang army brought out 200,000. ”

Peng Chaodong said his initial plan, which may be a more reasonable plan at present. The army of Jingshi City brought out too much, and Song Yuren would not agree. What's more critical is that the Zhejiang Party will also rise up and pounce on it, what does Peng Chaodong want to bring so many soldiers and horses? The shadow and influence of partisanship, partisanship, and partisanship are now almost everywhere, especially in this sensitive period, when the two parties are almost on the verge of fire.

"The Qinwang army is unusable." Xu Hongqian, a layman, also commented on Qin Wangjun.

Peng Chaodong nodded slightly, acquiescing to this. Xu Hongqian is right, Qin Wangjun is indeed useless. Rao is like this, even if King Qin's army is unusable, Peng Chaodong has to use it. Using 100,000 Qin troops to fight against nearly 200,000 Liao troops, the results are naturally self-evident: the Qin army will be defeated.

It's better to be unusable than no one to use it, and now, Peng Chaodong can only use dead horses as live horse doctors.

"But not all of the Qinwang armies are useless." Xu Hongqian's words changed and said, "There is still a part of the Qinwang army that is available. ”

There are some people in King Qin's army, Xu Hongqian is referring to He Tengxiao's Tengbao Battalion and Xiao Cavalry Battalion. Xu Hongqian doesn't hold a grudge against He Tengxiao now, and suddenly said this. Peng Chaodong was hesitant in his heart, and thought so.

"What Lord Shoufu said refers to He Tengxiao." Peng Chaodong asked cautiously.

"Definitely." Xu Hongqian stretched out his index finger and shook it, negating Xu Hongqian's thoughts, "Although He Tengxiao is quite capable in military affairs, but his strength is weak, and he can't become a big climate for the time being. ”

"What does Shousuke-sama mean?" If it's not He Tengxiao, who will it be? Peng Chaodong continued to ask.

"Shan Futian!"

Xu Hongqian gave the answer. (To be continued.) )
