Yao Xiang felt that what Yao Chang said was very reasonable, and after thinking about it for a while, he began to take action, preparing to bring all the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou under his command, so as to form enough combat power to resist the threat from the direction of Yanzhou.

Since leaving Qingzhou, Murong Khan returned to Xunyang City as quickly as possible, and he was going to Huan Wen's residence to inform Huan Wen of the results of his trip to Qingzhou, and to discuss with Huan Wen the next plan of action.

It didn't take long for Murong Khan to arrive in Xunyang City, and immediately went to Huan Wen's residence, preparing to report the latest situation to Huan Wen.

However, long before Murong Khan arrived in Xunyang City, Huan Wen's dispatch in the direction of Qingzhou had already carefully reported to Huan Wen the specific situation that happened in the direction of Qingzhou, so Huan Wen's actions to Murong Khan were already very clear.

In Huan Wen's opinion, Murong Khan has completed the task excellently, compared to his henchmen, it is really much stronger, although Yao Xiang and others are attached to Yan State, but as long as they can play a role in containing Hua'an, they will be attached to Yan State.

"King Nan, I'm back." Murong Khan walked into the main hall and saluted Huan Wen with his fists clenched.

Huan Wen smiled and said, "This king wants to congratulate General Murong for raising 80,000 soldiers and horses for the Great Yan Kingdom, which is really gratifying!" After speaking, he looked at Murong Khan.

Murong Khan smiled and said loudly: "The king of the south has praised it, and he is ashamed to be ashamed, but according to his observation, the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou lack weapons and salaries, and they urgently need to be replenished!" ”

Huan Wen nodded, and said with a straight face: "What does General Murong mean by asking this king to provide weapons and salaries for the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou?" But they belong to your Great Yan Kingdom! It should be the Yan King who provides weapons and military salaries, right? After speaking, he looked at Murong Khan.

Obviously, Huan Wen still has some jealousy in his heart, Yao Xiang and other generals took refuge in the Great Yan Kingdom instead of him, so he felt that Qingzhou's military salaries and weapons should be provided by the Yan Kingdom. At the very least, it should be provided by both parties, not by him.

Murong Khan naturally expected that Huan Wen would say this, so he smiled and said, "What King Nan said is true." It stands to reason that the weapons and armor of Qingzhou should indeed be provided by our Great Yan Kingdom, however, Qingzhou is located south of the Yellow River, and the land of Hebei has been controlled by Xie Ai, the general under the command of the Northern King. And if the king of the south sends a force of men. Passing through Yuzhou and transporting weapons to Qingzhou, it can be completely unimpeded! After speaking, he looked at Huan Wen.

Huan Wen smiled and said: "Your Great Yan Kingdom went to Qingzhou, and it was indeed blocked by Jizhou, but your Great Yan Kingdom can completely take the waterway and send big ships to transport weapons and military salaries along the sea route!" This is much more convenient than shipping from our Jingzhou. ”

Apparently. Huan Wen had already considered it for the Yan Kingdom, for this reason. In order to find out the flaws in Murong Khan's words in time, indeed, if you take the sea route, Pingzhou is very close to Qingzhou, and in a short period of time, the materials of Pingzhou can pass through the big ship. Transported to the land of Qingzhou.

When Murong Khan heard this, he was a little speechless, in fact, he had already considered taking the sea route, but. After several wars, the resources in the direction of Yan have also been greatly depleted, if some resources are taken out to support the direction of Qingzhou, the pressure on the Great Yan State will be even greater, as the general of the Great Yan State, Murong Khan naturally hopes to reduce the burden of the Yan State and transfer this burden to Huan Wen.

Seeing that Huan Wen said the way to take the sea route, Murong Khan nodded, and said: "What the king of the south said is that if you take the sea route to transport weapons and military salaries, my Great Yan Kingdom is indeed closer, but I didn't think of this before, and I didn't send a message to the direction of Jicheng, at this time, if you send someone to Jicheng and tell my king, and then the king will mobilize weapons and military salaries and transport them to Qingzhou, I am afraid that it will be delayed for a long time, and the soldiers and horses in the direction of Yanzhou have begun to eyeing Qingzhou, so in order to make the soldiers and horses of Qingzhou win, The king of the south should allocate some weapons and military salaries to Qingzhou! I believe that with the financial resources of the king of the south, this bit of material is nothing at all. ”

When Huan Wen heard this, he smiled and said loudly: "Okay, General Murong, this king is just joking with you, some weapons and military salaries, this king can still afford it, early tomorrow morning, this king will send his subordinates to transport the weapons needed in the direction of Qingzhou, however, this matter must be carried out in secret, if the court knows, it will not end well." ”

Obviously, the rebels in the direction of Qingzhou have always been enemies of the Great Jin, and at this time they took refuge in the Great Yan Kingdom, and Huan Wen sent weapons and military salaries to the direction of Qingzhou, which is Yan Zhan's behavior of the enemy, if it is known by the Great Jin court, it will definitely cause an uproar, and in this way, Huan Wen's prestige will be greatly hit.

"What the King of the South said is that this matter must be carried out in secret, and it is best not to tell anyone except the King of the South and his subordinates, so as to ensure the concealment of this matter, and at the same time, the transportation team can dress up the merchants selling dates in the city, and hide all the weapons and military salaries in the dates, so that nothing goes wrong." Murong Khan said.

Huan Wen nodded approvingly, and said: "What General Murong said is very true, this king has made up his mind, and he will send a team of men and horses tomorrow to transport weapons and military salaries to Qingzhou, I hope that the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in Qingzhou will not disappoint this king!" ”

"Although the king of the south can rest assured, Yao Xiang is good at using soldiers, and he will not disappoint the king of the south, as long as Yao Xiang and other generals get this batch of weapons and military salaries, they will definitely increase their strength, and then, they can launch an attack on Yanzhou, and then occupy the entire Yanzhou, and once Yao Xiang's army occupies Yanzhou, then we can launch a three-sided attack on the king of the north, in this way, the king of the north does not have to be defeated." Murong Khan said confidently.

When Huan Wen heard this, he was very happy in his heart, if it really formed a three-sided encirclement in the direction of Luoyang, then the shape in which Hua'an was located would be extremely sinister, so it would be extremely beneficial to him.

Subsequently, Huan Wen and Murong Khan analyzed the shape of Qingzhou and Yanzhou, and they were still full of hope for the current shape shì, and believed that the shape shì would be more and more beneficial to them.

Huan Wen and Murong Khan chatted for several hours, and it was not until dusk that Murong Khan said goodbye and left.

After Murong Khan left, Huan Wen couldn't wait to send a henchman and asked him to immediately organize a group of men and horses to transport weapons and military salaries in the direction of Qingzhou in the name of selling dates, so as to support the rebel forces in Qingzhou.

After receiving the order, the subordinates immediately made preparations, and within a few hours, prepared the supplies needed and rested near the east gate of Xunyang City.

Early in the morning of the second day, as soon as the sky was dark, the gate of Xunyang City was opened, and a group of men and horses responsible for transporting weapons and military salaries quietly left Xunyang City and headed for Qingzhou.

Because it was very early and there were very few pedestrians on the road, an ordinary jujube selling team did not attract anyone's attention.

Huan Wen's secrecy work was very good, and this team left Xunyang City without anyone noticing, naturally including the smart people and fine workers sent by Hua'an in Xunyang City.

It didn't take long for the troops and horses sent by Huan Wen to enter Luguo County and arrive at the outskirts of Zou County, they originally planned to rest for a while, and then set off immediately, but unexpectedly encountered a group of soldiers and horses under the command of Wang Wu who was exploring the terrain here.

The soldiers and horses under Wang Wu were ordered to go to Luguo County to inspect the terrain, folk customs and other characteristics there, so that they could be used in future battles.

However, the soldiers and horses under Wang Wu were shuttling back and forth throughout Luguo County, and the soldiers were very tired, so they all complained a little, and happened to stop on the outskirts of Zou County.

"General, I've been tired for most of the day, let's rest for a while!"

"Yes! I was too tired to walk. ”

All the soldiers were reluctant to go any further, and demanded one after another.

The soldiers were reluctant to move forward, and as a general, there was naturally no better way, so they had to let the soldiers under their command stop and rest.

"General, it seems that there are vendors selling dates in front, why don't we go over and ask for some dates to fill our stomachs." One of the soldiers looked ahead and whispered.

When the general heard this, he was displeased, and scolded: "It's not easy to make a living, how can you ask them for dates?" Money must be given. ”

"General, a few dates are not worth a few dollars, besides, our military salary is not much, so let's save a little if you can!" The soldier said slickly.

The general took out a string of copper coins from his pocket and said loudly: "You guys, buy more dates, and give some to the general." ”

Obviously, after walking for such a long time, the generals are also a little hungry.

"Yes, General." When several soldiers heard the order, they immediately took the copper coins and walked towards the vendor, and the general followed slowly.

Different from the ease of the soldiers under Wang Wu's command, the men and horses responsible for escorting weapons and military salaries were very nervous, because they were very afraid of revealing their stuffing, and once they did, their mission would completely fail, and even more seriously, they were very likely to be caught by the other party and thus be imprisoned.

"Some dates." The soldier shook the copper coin in front of a date vendor and said loudly.

When the peddler heard this, he hurriedly took out a large handful of dates from his pocket, and said in a loud voice: "Master Jun, eat as you like, don't want money, don't want money." As he spoke, he put the handful of dates in his hand into the soldier's hand, and then went to grab the dates again.

Seeing that the hawkers were so bold, the soldiers were naturally very happy, and they handed some of the dates to the generals, and they also ate them in large gulps.

"Where are you selling dates?" A soldier asked casually. (To be continued......)
