Chapter 222: A Deal with Huangfu Ji (1) (4th Update)

Mai Tiezhu smiled: "Really, I just need a herb in the five mountains, called Huoxiang, when the time comes, don't rush to cross the ridge, send a sergeant to the mountains to pick this herb, and then add a few other herbs, let the brothers take it every day, you can effectively prevent miasma." ”

Wang Huaqiang laughed: "Okay, iron rod, the battle of Lingnan, as long as you are not afraid of miasma, plus you can train an elite army, then the big thing will be successful." When the time comes, I will count on you, I can not bring anyone else, and I must take away this sentence to you. ”

Mai Tiezhu nodded: "I haven't been back to my hometown in Shixing for several years, and this time I can go back and have a look and go to my father's grave." ”

After saying goodbye to the wheat iron rod, Wang Huaqiang's confidence increased greatly, originally the reason why he didn't want to go to Lingnan was this miasma, if he threw his life there for some credit, it would be too cost-effective, but he didn't expect that the wheat iron rod, who was a native of Lingnan Shixing, actually had a unique secret medicine, and it was not a problem at this moment.

Wang Huaqiang rode back to the city, the vicinity of the county government hall has been heavily guarded, as the camp of the commander of the Pingnan Army, the minimum defense is always needed, just in the half day that Wang Huaqiang left, the entire street where the county government is located has been closed under martial law.

However, Wang Huaqiang is a person who Yang Su has taken special care of and can be released at any time, so he did not encounter any obstacles all the way into the county office, at this time it was the second half of the night, Yang Su was still sitting behind the big case, and Feng Lun looked at the military map together, as soon as Wang Huaqiang entered the county office, he saw Feng Lun look up at himself, and his eyes were full of a complicated look, which was indescribable.

Yang Su raised his head and said with a smile: "Wang joins the army." How did it take so long for you to go back and pack your personal belongings? The official document I have issued to you here has already been written. If you don't come this night. I'm ready to send them to your tent outside the city. ”

Wang Huaqiang said respectfully: "Dashuai, Huaqiang has something that I want to report to you." He said and glanced at Feng Lun.

Yang Su glanced at Feng Lun, Feng Lun bowed and retreated, except for a few guards in the shadow corner of the county hall, only Yang Su and Wang Huaqiang were left. Yang Su said: "Wang joined the army, now there are no outsiders, what can I say directly." ”

Wang Huaqiang said with a straight face: "I thought about it carefully when I returned to the camp just now. Pei Qishi's newly recruited southern soldiers in Xiangzhou are afraid that their combat effectiveness is not good, and they are especially lacking in training, so the last general wants to recruit a group of low-level officers, and this time he will go to Lingnan with the last general. ”

Yang Su seemed to have expected this, and smiled slightly: "Did you take a fancy to those officers under General Huangfu?" ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "Exactly, many of these people are veterans of the Southern Expedition, and they have been promoted to military positions such as the governor of the account, this time in a series of battles from Suzhou to Songjiang, the last general appreciates their actual combat ability, and also believes that these people can train those recruits in Xiangzhou into troops worthy of a war in a short period of time." Although it can't be compared with my Great Sui Iron Army, it should be more than enough to deal with the barbarians in Lingnan. ”

Yang Su pondered for a moment: "I can give you this order." But General Huangfu may not be willing to part with him, after all, these officers have also followed him for two years, if you take them all away, then he will guard Suzhou, or be transferred to another place in the future, it will be a lot of difficulty, and it will be a bicycle stabbing history. ”

Wang Huaqiang said with a smile: "Then the general will first go and get the consent of General Huangfu, and if there is his official document at that time, please ask the marshal to let these officers go." ”

Yang Su nodded and smiled slightly: "Wang joins the army, the matter of borrowing people has never been easy to do, Ben Shuai is a little curious about how you can do this, go, my army will be pulled out after a day of rest here, and General Huangfu will return to Suzhou tomorrow, leaving you with little time." ”

After Wang Huaqiang said goodbye to Yang Su, he went to the camp of Huangfu Ji outside the city, Huangfu Ji had already slept, but Wang Huaqiang told the guard that there was an emergency, and the guard happened to follow Liu Quan to participate in the battle of Songjiang, knew Wang Huaqiang, heard that there was an emergency military situation, did not dare to slack off, and ran to wake up Huang Fuji, Wang Huaqiang waited in the Chinese military tent for a long time, Huang Fuji rubbed his bloodshot eyes, and walked over in a nightgown.

Huang Fuji sat on the big chair, yawned, and pointed to a chair next to him: "Wang joins the army, what is so urgent?" Sit down and talk. ”

Wang Huaqiang did not sit down, but hugged his fists: "I'm very sorry to disturb General Huangfu's rest, but this matter is urgent, early tomorrow morning, the general will return to Suzhou, and Yang Dashuai will lead his troops to go to Minyue to quell the rebellion, so the last general can only come to ask General Huangfu for an order at this time." ”

Huangfu Ji was slightly stunned, raised his head and looked at Wang Huaqiang: "Order? Do you want to send my troops south with the army to quell the rebellion? ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "General Huangfu misunderstood, the last general meant to transfer some of your officers and veterans to Lingnan to quell the rebellion." Next, he talked about Gao Xi's letter and Lingnan in detail, and also mentioned his thoughts.

Huang Fuji didn't speak, and listened silently, until Wang Huaqiang finished speaking, he nodded: "Wang joins the army, I understand what you mean, but this matter is not easy to do, I have only 5,000 people in Suzhou, I have to defend the entire Sanwu region, and I have to take care of tens of thousands of prisoners, you have transferred these officers and veterans, I am not very good at commanding the troops, in case of chaos, it will be troublesome." ”

Wang Huaqiang sneered in his heart, this is just an excuse, the officers and veterans are an excellent source for their own personal affairs in the future, and any general is reluctant to lend it to others like this, but he has been prepared for this, smiled slightly, and said: "General Huangfu, the last general's mention is also for the sake of state affairs, after the battle of Lingnan, I will definitely let the officers return to your subordinates." ”

Huangfu Ji said coldly: "Lingnan is not so easy to pacify, after the last time Nanchen was destroyed, Xiangyang County Gong Wei Xun led his troops into Lingnan, not only did not suppress the local barbarians, but let them cause trouble, and even lost their own lives in two years."

Wang joined the army, although you have great talent, but you don't dare to guarantee that you can pacify Lingnan within a year. Besides, there is a miasma rampant there, and the people who go will die for life, and the imperial court has already transferred troops to General Wei three times, and you will definitely fight a protracted war if you go. To put it mildly, even if Ben was transferred from Suzhou to a new place, you might not be able to come back from Lingnan, and these officers and veterans would not be able to return. ”

Wang Huaqiang's eyebrows moved, he stood up, and said with a smile: "General Huangfu, the last general wants to make a deal with you, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

A trace of unhappiness flashed on Huang Fuji's face: "When the king joins the army, he is all for the imperial court, and there is no deal to trade, I don't like to hear this." ”

Wang Huaqiang said with a straight face: "General Huangfu, the last general knows that you are holding a breath in your heart now, this time in Songjiang, the last general did his best, and did not favor the general, maybe you don't know, at the beginning of the general's order, but beheaded Liu Dudu and Feng Dudu, and he took out the military order given to him by Yang Dashuai at that time, but the last general was easy to say, so he took back his order and changed it to a cane." ”

Huang Fuji was furious when he heard this, and slapped the handsome case fiercely: "Lai Hu'er dares to act like this, the old man must join him!"

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly, took two steps forward, and said in a low voice: "General Huangfu, the last general is not talented, but there is an idea, which can make you breathe this breath without causing any trouble for yourself, if you are interested, you might as well listen to the last general to talk about your thoughts, if you think it is okay, please raise your noble hand, borrow two hundred officers and veterans from the last general, how about it?" ”

Huang Fuji's eyebrows moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Wang joins the army, these are two different things, if you can give the old man a way to deal with Laihu'er, and then after the transfer of these veterans and officers, you can stabilize the Suzhou garrison, then your mention is not impossible for the old man to consider, after all, you have also helped the old man a lot this time." ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded, glanced at a few guards behind Huang Fuji, and stopped talking, Huang Fuji smiled and said to the soldiers: "You guys retreat first, guard the tent, and don't let outsiders approach." ”

After a few pro-soldiers withdrew, Wang Huaqiang's face showed a strange smile, and he said in a low voice: "I also ask General Huangfu to write a letter to shoot high, and ask him to protect the general to serve as the assassin of Fuzhou and garrison Minyue." (To be continued......)
