Chapter 486: Before the Decisive Battle
"Shache emissary?" Wang Yi groaned slightly, since the Yellow Turban Uprising, the Han family has declined, the Han Dynasty's control over the Western Regions has become weaker and weaker, and the small countries are respectful on the surface, but in fact, they no longer take the Han seriously.
The new lord of the Shache country is well-behaved, and he has just ascended the throne, so he came to give Liu Zhang a gift.
"Okay, see you."
Wang Yi ordered the whole army to prepare to support the street pavilion, and took the time to go to the hall to meet the merchants of Shache Kingdom, and Huang Yueying followed him.
"The envoys of the small countries pay homage to the Lord of the Celestial Empire."
"No courtesy, the Shache country is not far away, come to the pilgrimage, my lord is very relieved, my lord as the uncle of the Han Emperor, on behalf of the Son of Heaven, congratulate the queen of the Shache country on the throne."
"Up and down the small country, thank you for your virtue."
"You say there is a gift, what a gift, take it out and take a look."
The merchant from the Western Regions slapped his face, and a tall, strong giant woman was brought in.
"My king heard that Shu Hou issued a proclamation to the world, recruiting a tall and strong woman, this woman is from the Anxi Empire, and was captured in the war between Anxi and the Yue Clan, we spent a lot of money from the Yue Clan to buy it, and we are here to dedicate it to Shu Hou."
Wang Yi glanced up and down: "My lord has indeed ordered, very good, this gift my lord should be very satisfied, this official thanked Her Majesty the Queen of Shache on behalf of my lord." ”
The merchant saw Wang Yi and said that he was satisfied, but in fact he was a little absent-minded, and he didn't know if it was really in line with his heart, so he smiled: "In addition, we have another gift, but this gift, my king explained, hoping to get a little meager return." ”
"How much gold and silver?"
The merchant held out five fingers.
"Gold or silver?"
"Please accept the gift first."
A merchant stepped forward with a box in his hand and opened it with a sharp cutter to see that it was slowly filling with ice. Inside the cold ice lay a white herb clearly.
"Three snow cordyceps?" Wang Yi was taken aback. Suddenly frowned: "That's not right. My lord bought a lot of Cordyceps from the Western Regions, but the color is not as white as this one, and the leaves are not as broad as this one......
"Hahaha, my lord has good eyesight." The merchant said proudly: "It's not a secret, although the three snow cordyceps are rare, but it is not difficult to pick, as long as they pay a lot of money, the residents under the Kunlun Mountain can help pick it." As long as you search for hundreds of miles of snow, you can come across one if you are lucky.
However, these Cordyceps are not top-grade, the real top-grade is rare in a hundred years, and Cordyceps is a rare herb, countless stubborn diseases, it is one of the medicines.
Therefore, the high-grade three cordyceps and snow herbs, once picked, are all included in the palace of the Western Regions countries, and there are two plants in my Shache country, and I heard that His Royal Highness Shuhou is lacking this herb. Our king generously donated and offered the high-grade three cordyceps with both hands. ”
"Top-grade. What is the difference between Cordyceps and ordinary three snow cordyceps? Wang Yi took the box and looked at it carefully.
"It's complicated in detail, but to put it simply, ordinary Cordyceps can alleviate the symptoms of your military division and slowly get better, but it will take at least decades.
"What?" Wang Yi's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked directly at the merchant of the Western Regions: "What did you say?" Medicine to cure the disease? ”
"That's right, at most three days, you can get rid of stubborn diseases, recuperate for three months, recover as before, and have a clearer mind."
"Great, let's say, do you want gold or silver, as long as you can get rid of my family's military division's illness, you will not hesitate to pay for it."
The two merchants glanced at each other, they were all happy, rubbed their hands, tried to suppress their excited expressions, and said to Wang Yi: "My lord, my king sent two gifts this time, not to covet gold and silver, but to ask Shu Hou for some people.
My king knows that Shu Hou will unify Xiqiang, and all the thirteen parts of Xiqiang will be returned to Shu Hou, so my king hopes that Shu Hou will recruit 5,000 good Qiang people for my Shache country, and the body is majestic, so let us bring it into Shache country, plus 10,000 taels...... Gold, Shache Kingdom will always be subjugated to Shuhou. ”
"Five thousand good shooters? Why do you queen want this? Wang Yi glanced at the merchant vigilantly, and said slowly: "Although our army conquered Xiqiang, they all ruled the people with virtue, and requisitioned the Qiang people for no reason and sent them to Shache, what is the difference between this and treating the Qiang people as slaves?" ”
"The Qiang people are not Han people, why can't they be sold?"
"If the government is harsh on the Qiang people, the Qiang people will rebel."
"We only need five thousand taels of gold, and please make it convenient for you." The queen didn't ask the two messengers for gold at all, and the gold was asked for by the way, so she naturally gave in.
"If I add 10,000 taels of gold, can I remove the condition of 5,000 Qiang people, 5,000 Qiang people, I'm afraid it's not worth 10,000 taels of gold, right? Moreover, when you transport them to the Western Regions, you will have to take care of their food and sleep. ”
"Okay, we only need two thousand taels of gold, and the lord must give us five thousand Qiang people."
"Now that the war is in chaos, how can you bring 5,000 people back to China?"
"Don't worry about that." The merchants of the Western Regions had already been told by the queen that the North Palace of Yumen Pass had no ambitions, and just wanted to make a fortune quietly, and they had already taken care of it when they came, and as for leaving Yumen Pass, there was poison given to them by the queen, and they could take these 5,000 warriors back to China without too many people.
Seeing that the king was embarrassed, the other merchant frowned and said, "Okay, our gold quantity has been reduced to one thousand taels, no matter what, it can't be less, if the adults don't agree again...... Hum. ”
The merchant snorted, "We had to take another three-cordyceps snow grass to see Shu Hou." ”
"Another one?"
"We have already said just now, I have a total of two plants of three cordyceps in the country, my king is generous, both plants are offered, and only two plants are used together, which is enough to become a dose of medicine, and your military division can recover, please consider it."
Wang Yi frowned for a long time, this matter is not something he can make up his mind, requisition the Qiang people, send them to the Western Regions, a bad one will cause the Qiang change, now the Sichuan army has just been defeated, if the Xiqiang rebels again, it will be the enemy on the back, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
But...... Wang Yi thought that now that Wang Xu is dead, Fa Zhengyuan is far away in Jingzhou, if Huang Yueying can recover, then the Sichuan army will ......
Wang Yi was in a dilemma, glanced at Huang Yueying behind him, paced back and forth, and suddenly his eyes lit up, in addition to the Qiang people, aren't there still Liang army prisoners sent by the Weishui Battle in Tianshui?
There are many good shooters in it, so it is better to use these captives and hand them over to the merchants of the Western Regions.
…………
While rectifying the army, Wang Yi boiled medicine for Huang Yueying according to the methods of merchants in the Western Regions, and fed Huang Yueying to drink, Huang Yueying fell unconscious that night, cold and shivering, Wang Yi was frightened, if Huang Yueying had any three strengths and two weaknesses, Liu Zhang had to kill himself.
…………
In front of the Liang army camp in front of the street pavilion, the Liang army of more than 100,000 troops was reorganized, Zhuge Liang arranged the troops, preparing for tomorrow's army to come out, seize the general entrance of the five roads, and take down the street pavilion in one fell swoop.
"Hahaha, the military advisor is really a god, when he said that he would quit the street pavilion, my old Zhang was still unwilling, and the military advisor said, what is lost, will be able to be regained, and today it is really fulfilled, hahaha, military advisor, I Zhang Fei is considered to have served you and done this bowl."
Zhang Fei drank a large bowl of rice wine in one gulp, very excited.
Ma Chao stepped forward and said: "Military advisor, tomorrow the final battle between our army and the Sichuan army, Han Sui Xiao'er, kill my father, I have to take his life, I, Ma Chao, please be the vanguard." ”
"Brother Meng Qi, you're not righteous, right?" Zhang Fei glanced at Ma Chao: "Why do you want to kill Han Sui, you have to be a pioneer?" This pioneer is made up to my boss Zhang, if you meet Han Sui, I will give it to you. ”
Zhao Yun also wanted to ask for his life, glanced at Ma Yunlu next to him, seemed a little unhappy, and asked, "Yunlu, what's wrong?" Haven't you always dreamed of being a general? Why not be happy now that you have your wish? Could it be that the official position of the military advisor is too small? ”
Ma Yunlu shook his head: "No, Brother Yun, I just think that my general is disgraceful, not by fighting on the battlefield, but, but by using despicable means to kidnap other people's wives and children, and kill other people's husbands, Brother Yun, I feel that wearing this, the armor I dreamed of before, is so heavy, as if the whole world is laughing at me." ”
"Don't think about it." Zhao Yun smiled and said: "Even if you don't come here in a dignified manner, Yinping girl can be a general in the Sichuan army, as long as you defeat her, it means that you are a general." ”
"That's right." Ma Yunlu's eyes lit up: "Guan Yinping can be a general in the Sichuan army, if I can defeat her, then no one can say about me as a general, Brother Yun, I will definitely defeat Guan Yinping." ”
"Listening to your tone, it seems that I hate the girl on the silver screen."
"Of course, I was used by Liu Zhang, but she surrendered to Liu Zhang and went against my brother, and my father's death, although Han Sui did it, but Liu Zhang can't get out of the relationship, Guan Yinping followed Liu Zhang, and he was my enemy."
Zhao Yun smiled.
"What are you two muttering?" A general smiled at Zhao Yun and Ma Yunlu.
"Tut-tut." Zhang Fei looked at the two of them with a pair of leopard eyes, and said with contempt: "I said that you two, you don't need to look like glue, right?" I can see that my goosebumps are rising, and if I want to be sweet, this is a military camp, and the military situation is being discussed. ”
"Why don't the tents of General Zhao and General Ma merge into one."
"Good idea."
"Hahaha."
is about to win, and all the generals of the Liang army are very relaxed and happy, laughing, Zhuge Liang pressed it with his hand.
"Well, although the morale of our army is booming, the morale of the enemy army is low, and Wang Xu is dead, our army has the advantage, but the form is still not so optimistic, and there is not much difference between the strength of the Sichuan army and ours.
Therefore, we need to know ourselves and our opponents in order to win.
Wang Xu died, Fa Zheng was in Jingzhou, and only Wei Yan and Zhang Ren were left under Liu Zhang's command, these two were handsome, but they could not command hundreds of thousands of troops.
Wei Yan, accustomed to adventure, the Battle of Bailongjiang, the Battle of Jiangling, the Battle of Yangping Pass, the Battle of Tianshui, Wei Yan's Battle of Fame, all in two words, adventure.
Now that the Sichuan army is in danger, Wei Yan will definitely think of some dangerous moves, intending to win by surprise, and we have to guard against it. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
