Wu Zhiwang, the governor of the three sides, heard Xu Liang's call, paused, and beckoned to Xu Liang: "Lord Xu, if you have anything to say, come to the study with the old man." ”

Xu Liang followed Wu Zhiwang and Hong Chengchou, and followed the study of Master Ziwu step by step. The tea was arranged in front of the next person, and the host and guest were seated.

Wu Zhiwang looked at Hong Chengchou and Xu Liang, and said with relief: "The old man, the governor of the three sides, should not be shaking, and the soldiers under his command will not listen to the greeting, and the old man is also powerless." But fortunately, there are still Lord Hong and Lord Xu, who still respect the old man so much, with the two of you here, the old man is much easier. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he didn't understand why the good and dignified Wu Zhiwang said such a thing, and he was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly got up at the same time as Hong Chengchou, and didn't dare to say anything.

Hong Chengchou, a political participant in Shaanxi, said respectfully: "Your Excellency, don't be arrogant, the difficulties of your lordship are understood by the lower officials and Lord Xu, and I believe that the emperor and the ministers of the court and the central government also understand." ”

Xu Liang also echoed: "Yes, my lord, you should relax and take care of your body first, and the chaos in the west will recover one day." ”

Wu Zhiwang looked at it, stroked his beard and said hello three times in a row. looked at Xu Liang again, and asked with a smile: "I just listened to Lord Xu's tone, it seems that something is wrong?" ”

Xu Liang arched his hand and said, "Yes, my lord." Now that the thieves have occupied Pingliang City for almost three months, the Liang army under Xiaguan has also been training for some time, and Xiaguan wants to find an opportunity to take down one or two cities first, recover some lost land, and give an explanation to the court and the people of Pingliang. ”

"Hmm," Wu Zhiwang groaned, frowning, "Last time, the old man summoned Qingyang. Yansui's soldiers and horses, plus Anton's Zhongwei's soldiers and horses, all returned in vain. At the moment, if you want to gather a few troops and horses again, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult......"

Xu Liang hurriedly said: "Xia Guan naturally knows. Xia Guan is thinking. Relying solely on the strength of the Liang army, it took the lead in launching the attack. ”

Wu Zhiwang and Hong Chengchou were shocked when they heard it. Hong Chengchou asked in surprise: "Listening to Lord Xu's meaning, do you want to leave aside the officials and troops from all over the country and attack the city with only the Liang army?" ”

Wu Zhiwang was also surprised: "Lord Xu's move, will it be too hasty?" As far as the old man knows, the Liang army currently has only 10,000 people, and they have to divide troops to guard the two cities of Jingzhou and Zhenyuan. As soon as the war starts, there must not be many people who can be mobilized. ”

"That's why the lower officials came to you, Lord Governor." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Oh?" Wu Zhiwang said: "You can talk about it." What do you need the old man to do? ”

Xu Liang paused, looked at Wu Zhiwang and Hong Chengchou, and said, "Xiaguan wants to ask the governor for two things. First, after Xiaguan led the Liang army to attack the city, it was necessary for Li Ying, a guerrilla general of Guyuan, to lead his troops to accompany the army in order to escort the battle. ”

"Well, that's easy to do."

"Second," Xu Liang smiled hesitantly, looking at Wu Zhiwang like a big seller. Said: "Xia Guan heard that there are still a few artillery pieces in Guyuan City, and Xia Guan wants to borrow them." ”

Xu Liang also heard Huang Daozhou of Zhenyuan Zhixian inadvertently talk about it a few days ago, and only then did he know that Guyuan was one of the nine sides of the court. There are cannons in the city. Only then did he move the idea of borrowing artillery from the governor of the three sides, Wu Zhiwang. Hmph, with artillery, the siege is much easier.

When Wu Zhiwang heard this, his expression became solemn, and he frowned and hesitated: "Lord Xu, the artillery matter, it's not that the talented man doesn't want to lend it to you, it's just that the artillery in Guyuan City has been installed on the head of Guyuan City, and every time you respect it, the more you will be a thousand catties." It is not easy to disassemble and assemble...... Moreover, the artillery on the head of Guyuan City is responsible for guarding the nine sides of the court, and it is not allowed to be used...... This one. It's a little harder. ”

Xu Liang listened and was slightly disappointed. Said unwillingly: "My lord, the cannon on the head of Guyuan City has also been seen, since the cannon is so important to Guyuan, it is indeed not suitable to use it." Is there any artillery left in the warehouse? ”

Wu Zhiwang shook his head and said, "No, after the old man became the governor of the three sides, he ordered people to install all the artillery on the city tower." ”

Xu Liang was stunned when he heard this.

At this time, Hong Chengchou, who participated in the politics of Shaanxi, suddenly remembered something, and interjected: "Lord Wu, Xia Guan remembers that there are still a few general cannons in Xicang, why don't you borrow them from Lord Xu?" ”

Wu Zhiwang heard this, also thought about it, and said with a smile: "As soon as Lord Hong said this, the old man also remembered, there are indeed seven general cannons in Xicang, haha, the old man will write a note, and Lord Xu will take it to Xicang to find it, if those cannons can still be used, he will take them together." ”

Xu Liang was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was very grateful.

Taking advantage of the gap between Wu Zhiwang and writing the approval note, Hong Chengchou saw that Xu Liang was dancing happily, so he hit him and said: "Lord Xu, don't be too happy. The seven cannons were still made in the twentieth year of Wanli, and they have been placed in the West Warehouse for more than 30 years, and it is not certain whether they have rotted or not. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he couldn't help but be a little worried, what he had put for thirty years, even if it was an iron pot, it was estimated that it was almost enough. However, no matter what, I always have to go to Xicang to see the real thing before drawing conclusions.

As the name suggests, Xicang is located in the west of Guyuan City, and it is a very remote large warehouse, which is usually used to place some expired ordnance and other things.

Xu Liang left the Trilateral Governor's Palace, called all the guards, and drove straight to Xicang under the guidance of Hong Chengchou, a political officer in Shaanxi. When I arrived at the gate of Dexicang, I saw that the gate was closed. The two small soldiers guarding the gate stood listlessly by the gate, and when they saw Lord Xu, who was dressed in a crimson official robe, arrived, they couldn't help but stand up straight in surprise and saluted Xu Liang again and again.

After Xu Liang explained his intentions, a small soldier ran to a small house not far from the warehouse, and soon called a Tsing Yi official.

Xu Liang couldn't help but be taken aback when the little official approached. But seeing that although this person was wearing an ordinary cyan robe, he was tall, about 1.8 meters, half a head taller than Xu Liang's figure of 1.7 meters, and this person looked strong, but when he walked in front of him, there was a faint sense of elegance.

The little official stood in front of Xu Liang and Hong Chengchou without being arrogant or humble and bowed and said: "Sima Qiudao, the deputy envoy of Xicang, has seen Lord Hong, Lord Xu. ”

Xu Liang couldn't help but be taken aback again, affected by the habitual thinking of his previous life, all the names of people such as Dongfang, Murong, Gongsun, Sima, etc., in novels or TV movies, are all very awesome characters, but now there is a little official named Sima Qiudao, a petty official who looks at the warehouse stands in front of him, Xu Liang is disappointed in his heart.

"Well," Xu Liang was disappointed in his heart, and there was no good look on his face, so he responded lightly, and handed the approval document of the Hope of the Trilateral Governor's Mansion in his hand to Sima Qiudao, and said: "This official came today to borrow the seven general cannons in Xicang, this is the hand approval of Lord Wu, you see." ”

Sima Qiudao listened, his expression changed, he looked at Xu Liang in surprise, took the paper hand, looked at Xu Liang twice, and then arched his hand and said: "Wait a minute, my lord, there are too many things in the warehouse, wait for the lower officials to clean it up." With that, Sima Qiudao shouted out twice, summoned the three guards and led them into the Xicang.

A smell of dust came to my face after the door of the West Warehouse was opened.

Xu Liang and Hong Chengchou hurriedly dodged away.

Xu Liang fanned the dust with one hand, and asked Hong Chengchou: "Lord Hong, what's wrong with the Governor today, why are you so emotional for no reason?" ”

Hong Chengchou covered his nose with his left sleeve, looked at Xu Liang, and said in a humming voice: "Master Wu is also feeling." ”

Xu Liang looked at him suspiciously, and said secretly, I also know that Master Wu is motivated by feelings, the question is what stimulated his old man.

Hong Chengchou moved a few more steps, walked to the direction where the dust was gradually disappearing, and sighed at Xu Liang, who came over: "This official heard that after the defeat of the siege of Pingliang by the official army last time, the prince of Dongchang returned to Beijing in a bad mood and sued Lord Wu in front of the emperor. The emperor reprimanded Lord Wu a few words, alas, Lord Wu himself was angry, and he was even more angry when he saw this, so he wrote a letter overnight to beg for rest and retire......"

"Huh?" Xu Liang was surprised, and hurriedly asked with concern, "What happened then?" ”

"Later, the emperor took Master Wu's fold down, and he didn't send it." Hong Chengchou said.

Xu Liang put his mind at ease, wiped his sweat, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that the emperor still values Master Wu a lot, and knows that the northwest is inseparable from Lord Wu." ”

Hong Chengchou glanced at Xu Liang, like an idiot, looked ahead, and said faintly: "It's not that the emperor values Lord Wu, according to Lord Wu's inquiry afterwards, the emperor didn't let Lord Wu retire, it was really because no one in the court was willing to replace Lord Wu!" ”

"......" Xu Liang was dumbfounded, speechless.

The two stood silently for a while, and suddenly heard Sima begging in the West Cang: "Two adults, come in." ”

Hearing this, Xu Liang and Hong Chengchou entered the West Warehouse, walked through a small road that had been temporarily cleared, walked between the fragments of clothes and armor and guns and sticks of the warehouse, and came to a row of iron cannons stacked in the innermost part of the warehouse.

Sima Qiudao pointed to the seven iron cannons under his feet, and said with a slightly smug expression: "Two adults, please look, this is the Tianzi No. 135 General Cannon made in the twentieth year of Wanli!"
