Chapter 687: Strength Determines Everything
"Here we are." Meng Yi suddenly looked into the distance and said.
Liu Lan glanced into the distance, and saw Xu Yuanlang walking over with a young general, the young general had a handsome face, and there was a hint of bookish air on his face, but Liu Lan could still feel it, there was still a trace of haze on this young man, and he didn't like this kind of breath very much.
"Who is this? Xu Yuanlang seemed to respect him very much. Liu Lan thought with some curiosity, thinking of Shandong Junjie in her mind, although she didn't like this young man, but her demeanor and bearing could be seen, she could be called Junjie, but there were many Junjie in Shandong? Many, it's just that most of them are in the family, and most of the other separatist warlords are a group of reckless people, where is the handsome, but Qi Gongshun has the style of an elder, which is also the reason why Liu Lan is willing to assist him.
"Ladies and gentlemen." Xu Yuanlang glanced at everyone, there was a gloom in the depths of his eyes, the people who came were not the head of the army, although most of them were important people, they were also people who couldn't be masters, Xu Yuanlang quickly woke up from his dissatisfaction, and arched his hand and said: "Everyone, this king will introduce an important person to you today, Xu Shiji, the head of Zhao Xingyang and the Duke of Laiguo." Xu Yuanlang called himself King Lu, but he was not accepted, and Xu Shiji, who was on the side, also showed a slight disdain on his face, but he quickly disappeared.
"Xu Shiji has seen all the generals." Xu Shiji arched his hand towards everyone, his face was full of smiles, these people were about to be tools in his hands, and he still needed to rely on the soldiers and horses in everyone's hands.
"I've seen General Xu." Everyone also returned the salute with face, but their hearts came to life, this Xu Shiji must have been ordered by Li Yuan to discuss the attack on Li Xin.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Mao Gong came on the orders of the emperor. I wanted to form an alliance with you, but I didn't know you well, so I took the advantage of King Lu's territory and took the liberty of inviting the generals to come and ask for forgiveness. Xu Shiji was breezy and sat down with Xu Yuanlang. did not snub everyone because he was born in Li Zhao, but made everyone feel very relaxed.
"Why, General Xu, you and Datang are mortal enemies, at this time, according to reason, you have already killed you at this moment, our side is as stable as Mount Tai, Li Xin will not attack us. Wouldn't it be better if we didn't have to harass Li Xin? Why mess with him? What about the trouble for us Shandong? Meng Yi said loudly.
"This is Meng Xiaowangye!" Xu Shiji glanced at the other party and said unhurriedly: "If the little prince thinks so, then it is a big mistake, what kind of character is Li Xin, and the jackal!" He was determined to unify the world and fight in the south and in the north, from the Western Regions to the south of the Yangtze River. From the land of Bashu to today's Central Plains. How powerful are his soldiers and horses, this person is ambitious, thinking of achieving hegemony, how can he accommodate a Shandong? At this moment, his line is stopping in Bianzhou, you won't think that he is here to have a relaxing time! According to our news. Li Xin will come to attack Shandong next year at the latest, everyone, Li Xin is leading a large army to come, can you stop it? ”
"This?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then their faces changed. Xu Shiji is not bad at all, Li Xinbing is sharp, and sooner or later he will come to attack Shandong, will the people of Shandong be able to resist it at that time?
"Li Xin's great enemy is Zhao State, and General Xu is here to use our strength to help you resist Li Xin, so that you can recuperate on the side, right?" Liu Lan said out loud: "The general thinks well, but can our Shandong strength resist Li Xin?" ”
"What if you add my 30,000 or 40,000 troops in Xingyang?" Xu Shiji originally thought that he would send 30,000 troops, but in the end he still had 10,000 more. He continued: "Not only will Xu Shiji send troops, but my emperor has sent the king of Qi to lead an army of 100,000 to the south to attack Bianzhou. Even if Li Xin has great ability, it is impossible to resist an army of more than 200,000! ”
Everyone suddenly had a lot of discussions, although Xu Shiji was telling the truth, but everyone still had to think about it seriously, no matter how fanciful Xu Shiji said, you didn't get any substantial benefits.
"The emperor has promised Mao Gong, your interests in Shandong will not be affected in any way, Shandong is still your Shandong, there will be no changes in Da Zhao, within ten years, Da Zhao will not attack Shandong, what do you think?" Xu Shiji said with a smile: "You are all smart people, Da Zhao is also the ruler of the world, because I thank you for your help today, and then do it to Shandong in ten years, ten years later, presumably there will be a real overlord in Shandong, and even if you can't do it, you can take advantage of the time when my Da Zhao and the pseudo-Tang Dynasty are fighting each other, and they can also seize the Central Plains and the land south of the Yangtze River, and achieve a hegemony!" What do you think? ”
The hall suddenly fell silent, Xu Shiji showed very sincerity, if he said that Li Yuan would not attack Shandong, no one would believe it, but said that he would not attack Shandong within ten years, everyone still believed it, what happened within ten years, no one knows, everyone here is ambitious, all want to unify Shandong, if it is really like Xu Shiji said, if it is not good, it can really be followed by Li Xin and Li Yuan when the war is taken, take the opportunity to rise.
Xu Yuanlang's face changed, although what Xu Shiji said was for other warlords, why didn't he say it to himself? This is to warn yourself not to mess around.
"So they will definitely agree, General Xu, prepare the army! I believe that in the near future, those big families in the imperial court will send grain and grass. Xu Shiji said with confidence.
"Yes." Xu Yuanlang nodded, but snorted.
?
"Ten years is not a long time, but it is not a short time, General Xu, can you guarantee that Da Zhao will not attack us?" Liu Lan's eyes flickered, looking at Xu Shiji curiously, there was a trace of disdain in the depths of his eyes, he would never believe Xu Shiji's guarantee.
He would even think that if the army on his side was dispatched, Li Yuan's army would be ushered in behind him. After all, if the armies set off together, the whole Shandong will become empty, and Li Yuan has a lot of Shandong families, and it is very easy to seize the entire Shandong, and at that time, everyone will not even have a place to live.
"What, doubting General Ben's words?" Xu Shiji glanced at everyone and said: "General Ben is also the prince of the imperial court, and he is favored by the imperial court, and outside, it represents the imperial court, and every move of this general represents the face of Da Zhao." If you are questioning General Ben, you are questioning my Da Zhao. Hmph, to put it mildly, if I kill you, I'm afraid it will be easier than Li Xin to destroy you, the reason why you each occupy three or five cities, Shandong is so big, but you have raised an army of more than 100,000, can those ordinary people raise it? Isn't it the power of the family? As long as you talk about moving the family, do you still have a chance to resist? ”
Xu Shiji's voice was full of emotion, the tiger glanced at everyone, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, although Xu Shiji's words were very ruthless, but everyone did not dare to refute, because what Xu Shiji said was reasonable.
Da Zhao sent troops to attack it in the south, and with the help of the Shandong family, how could these cities resist the attack of Li Zhao's army? Just cooperating with Li Zhao, that is to offend Li Xin, Li Xin started from scratch, but in ten years, he created the Tang Dynasty and occupied most of the rivers and mountains in China, so isn't Li Yuan also very powerful? However, when he met Li Xin, he was defeated repeatedly, and in the end he could only move the capital. It shows Li Xin's strength.
In the past, he just prayed that Li Xin would not attack, but now he wanted to attack Li Xin himself, and everyone was a little worried. At that moment, Xu Yuanlang said: "Everyone, if we don't attack Li Xin, Li Xin will also attack us." Sooner or later, it will be a battle, it is better to fight late than early, and now we still have the help of General Xu and King Qi, maybe we can still win the battle. ”
"This matter is very important, and I need to discuss it with my father." Meng Yi's face was solemn, and he said: "After all, we have tens of thousands of troops under our command, not only to dominate the world, but also to protect the territory and the people. If someone breaks the covenant and attacks from behind us, I am afraid that there will not even be a chance to resist, what do you think? ”
"Yes, this matter is to go back and discuss it, after all, the people we came can't call the shots, and I ask Lai Guogong to forgive me." Liu Lan also spoke. In fact, what they are thinking in their hearts is known only to him.
Lai Guogong? Don't forget, where is the resistance of Qi Gongshun's current occupation? It is Beihai County, and there is Laizhou in it, which is enough to explain Li Yuan's ambition, but Liu Lan does not dare to slack off in this matter, Li Xin wants to seize the world, but Li Yuan also wants to seize the world. Neither of them is easy to mess with. After Liu Lan went back, she had to discuss with Qi Gongshun and the others how to deal with this matter.
"Hehe, that's nature, that's nature." Xu Shiji nodded when he heard this, but there was a trace of disdain in his heart, if it wasn't for his own plan, where would he discuss it with these people.
Meng Yi, Liu Lan and the others quickly said goodbye, and after Xu Yuanlang sent everyone out, his face suddenly became a little unsightly, and he snorted coldly in the hall: "It's really a toast and don't eat and drink, these guys really think that the general needs these people." ”
"Don't worry, they'll say yes." Xu Shiji said indifferently: "Don't look at these people arrogant in front of us, but don't forget, isn't their crazy expansion just to keep their power?" It's a pity that they forgot how much money is needed to support such a crazy army expansion, and where does this money come from? Not a gift from the Maison? ”
Xu Yuanlang suddenly realized that what Xu Shiji relied on was not Li Zhao's majesty, nor his own power, but the family. In Shandong, the only people who rule this land are those big families. (To be continued......)
