Chapter 35 Xu Guotong War
Early the next morning, Xu Bao and Li Xin got into a carriage and drove towards the military, and Xu Bao asked Lan'er to rest in the mansion, because Lan'er had been running around with Xu Bao recently.
Xu Bao and Li Xin came to the military place, and saw a cardinal come out of it, Xu Bao walked forward and Li Xin followed behind his eldest brother, acting as a personal guard.
The cardinal walked up to Xu Bao and saluted, "Welcome Mrs. Xu." ”
Xu Bao beckoned and said, "Okay, okay, don't use this set, hurry up and get down to business." ”
The cardinal replied, "Please come in, Taifu!" ”
Xu Bao walked into the room and saw that there were several other people inside, where were they doing what they were looking for?
Xu Bao asked, "Hurry up and tell me the army I should have." ”
The cardinal behind him walked to a desk and picked up a notebook to look at, and picked up a token with the word Wei written on it.
Walked back to Xu Bao and handed the token to Xu Bao.
"Mrs. Xu, this is the unification token, please be sure to keep it."
Xu Bao glanced at the token in his hand, and felt very strange, the ancients were too simplistic, and they could lead the army with just one token.
Xu Bao asked again, "Then what are the armies under my jurisdiction?" ”
The cardinal replied: "The Zhenxi Army, the Zhennan Army and the Reserve Army of the Guards are all under the jurisdiction of Xu Taifu, but the current distribution of the frontier garrison has not been communicated by the monarch. ”
Li Xin heard that the cardinal actually gave his eldest brother the reserve army of the personal guard and a Zhenxi army.
Li Xin pulled down his eldest brother and wanted to speak, but Xu Bao immediately gave Li Xin a look, and Li Xin didn't want to ask again.
Xu Bao nodded with a satisfied expression and said, "That's it?" ”
The cardinal replied, "Yes! Mrs. Xu. ”
Xu Bao smiled, "Okay, then we'll leave now." ”
Xu Bao walked out, Li Xin followed closely behind his eldest brother, the two got into the carriage, Li Xin said, "Big brother, why didn't you let me say it just now?" ”
Xu Bao smiled and said to Li Xin: "Li Xin, remember that it is very good that the king of a country can hand over these troops to me who has just arrived, I know what you mean?" ”
"Big brother, you understand, why don't you ask the cardinal why he gave us the personal guard reserve army, and the Zhenxi army, which is the most inpowerful recruit army, also gave it to us."
"Li Xin, no matter what soldiers are given to us, they are all personnel, as long as we seriously redouble our training, they are a group of lions."
"Big brother, I really admire you too much."
Xu Bao showed a smile and said: "I have expected these things a long time ago, and the actual monarch himself understands them, but the monarch thinks that if you give me a new army, I will have no choice." The actual monarch miscalculated. ”
Li Xin listened to his eldest brother's words, and he was a little unsure, but he still believed in his eldest brother's ability.
Xu Bao said again: "From today onwards, you and Wang Jian will have to suffer a little more and train these three armies for me, this is not a matter of four or five thousand people." And the two of you will choose a few good men from each of the five thousand brothers to be your subordinates, so that you may help you to run the army, and I will let you give me the results within a month. ”
Li Xin heard his eldest brother's request, looked at his eldest brother, and said, "I promise to complete my eldest brother's request." ”
Xu Bao patted Li Xin's shoulder and said, "Okay!" I'll wait for your good news, but I'll check on your training at any time. ”
The two chatted and returned to the mansion, Xu Bao and Li Xin just got off the carriage, and Lan'er rushed out of the mansion.
Xu Bao saw Lan'er in such a hurry and asked, "Lan'er, what are you doing here?" So in a hurry? ”
Lan'er walked up to Xu Bao and said anxiously: "Husband, the monarch's brother said that he would urgently summon you. ”
When Xu Bao heard Lan'er's words, he was curious, didn't he just finish seeing them yesterday? Why do you want to see me again?
Xu Bao asked, "Lan'er, do you know why the monarch summoned me in such a hurry?" ”
"Husband, I don't know, a servant came to summon the message, and told me that Mrs. Xu came to the palace to see the monarch."
Xu Bao pondered in his heart, feeling that it was Xu Guo's problem, Xu Bao beckoned Li Xin to go with him, and let Lan'er wait at home.
Xu Bao and Li Xin got into the carriage again and drove towards the palace.
In the carriage, Li Xin asked, "Big brother, what is the so-called matter that the monarch of the country is in such a hurry to summon you?" ”
Xu Bao said: "What else can the monarch summon me!" Except for the Xu Guo issue, there will definitely be no other things. ”
Hearing Xu Guo's question, Li Xin asked, "Big brother, does Xu Guo still want to be lazy about gambling on the contract?" ”
Xu Bao smiled, "Li Xin, what you think is too simple, let alone a gambling contract!" ”
Li Xin didn't understand, apart from the gambling contract, what else could Xu Guo do?
After a while, the carriage arrived at the entrance of the palace, Xu Bao and Li Xin got out of the carriage, and a servant walked back and forth anxiously at the entrance of the palace.
Seeing a carriage parked at the entrance of the palace, he hurriedly walked towards the carriage, and saw that it was Mrs. Xu who got off the carriage, and the anxious expression of the servant just now disappeared.
The servant walked up to Xu Bao and said, "Mrs. Xu, you are here, the monarch can wait for you." Mrs. Xu, come with me to the cabinet to meet the monarch! ”
Xu Bao responded: "Okay, no matter how anxious you are, you have to go over step by step." ”
The servant led the way, and Xu Bao and Li Xin followed behind to the cabinet hall.
Xu Bao asked Li Xin to wait outside, and walked into the cabinet hall by himself.
When the temple door was opened, the servant closed the temple door casually, and waited outside with Li Xin.
After Xu Bao walked in, he saw the patriotic monarch sitting on the bed chair, holding a note in his hand, with a sad expression.
Xu Bao coughed, the monarch heard it, looked up, and saw that it was Mrs. Xu coming, so he hurriedly got up and walked to Xu Bao and asked, "Mrs. Taifu, you can come, you are really hard to find?" ”
Xu Bao smiled, "Sovereign, why are you in such a hurry to see me?" ”
The Patriotic Monarch said with an anxious expression: "What's the matter, but it's a big deal! ”
The monarch handed the note in his hand to Xu Bao, but Xu Bao did not answer the note, because Xu Bao did not know ancient characters.
Seeing that Xu Bao did not follow the note he handed him, the monarch showed confusion and asked, "Taifu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xu Bao showed a very thought-provoking expression and said, "Sovereign, I don't need to look at it to know anything. ”
The monarch was a little surprised, he didn't have to look to know what was going on.
Xu Bao said: "In addition to Xu Guo's problem, is there any other problem? Does Xu Guo want to attack the defense of the country this time? ”
The monarch asked, "How do you know that Xu Guo is coming this time." ”
"Sovereign, do you need to talk about it? There are only two words, and that is the question of majesty between nations. ”
"Sovereign, what's going on with Xu Guo's side now?"
The monarch responded: "What else is the situation, I also know the situation on Xu Guo's side through secret agents, and I heard that Xu Guo has sent a war to defend the country." That is to say, within a month, the prince and the envoy of the country must be released, and Xu Guo's losses must be compensated. ”
After hearing this, Xu Bao asked, "Is the news reliable?" ”
"Absolutely."
Xu Bao pondered for a moment and asked again: "Then if Xu Guo really comes to attack the Wei Kingdom, how long will it take?" ”
The Patriotic Monarch thought for a moment and said, "If it is really a month for the Patriotic Monarch, I think it will take forty-five days even if the army is sent to defend the Monarchy."
Xu Bao pondered why Xu Guo wanted to give Wei Guo a month, and with a flash of inspiration, Xu Bao laughed.
"Sovereign, if I'm not mistaken, we'll have only a month."
The Patriotic Monarch didn't understand the meaning of Xu Bao's words, and showed a puzzled expression.
Xu Bao saw it and explained: "Why did Xu Guo give Wei Guo a month, the time also made us negligent, in fact, they had already sorted out the army and wanted to come to Wei Guo." ”
When the monarch heard this, he was anxious and asked, "Taifu, how is this good?" ”
"The monarch doesn't have to worry, a month is enough, you can rest assured, right? I will let Xu Guo know the consequences of daring to be lazy in a month. ”
The patriotic monarch was also a little skeptical when he saw Xu Bao's great confidence.
Xu Bao saw the meaning of the monarch's expression, and smiled, "If the monarch believes me, you don't have to worry about this matter, you just need to take a good look at some of the personnel sent by other countries to defend the country." ”
The monarch asked, "Taifu, is it really okay?" ”
"Rest assured, Sovereign! In a month, you'll know. When the monarch waited for the matter to pass, he cleaned up the people in the internal affairs of the Guard. ”
The monarch said, "I understand! ”
"Oh well! The monarch and I will take my leave at the moment. ”
