The black-clothed guards obviously didn't know that Chen Wu knew so much about their internal affairs, so they casually made up: "You can call me Beifeng, and secretly sneaked in to meet the general, it was at the behest of my Emperor Saladin's majesty that he came to help the Taiping army fight against the Qianyuan Empire!" ”

Obviously, the other party did not report his real origin and name.

Even if the news leaks out in the future, if someone wants to check under the name of Beifeng, at least a few hundred people can be found!

Chen Wu was noncommittal, but he didn't demolish him, but said: "The general has already fought Daqing Pass, and now he has captured Yuyang and severely damaged the cavalry of the 3rd Garrison Brigade of Songjiang County. Judging by the situation, the capture of Songjiang is just around the corner, and it seems that you don't need the help of your Oman Kingdom, right? Besides, your soldiers can't even enter Tiannan County, so how can they help me? ”

"Definitely!"

The self-proclaimed North Wind comer shook his head and refuted: "It's not that I look down on the general, if it weren't for the army of my Oman Kingdom to attack the Nanfeng Fortress and contain Leji's Tiannan Army, he only needs to send an elite division to the north, and he can easily wipe out General Tiangong's Taiping army!" ”

That sounds like it.

But those who really understand the situation will not be deceived by the North Wind's nonsense at all.

Even if the Taiping army was not born, the Kingdom of Oman and the Lena Dynasty in the north would take advantage of the fact that the imperial army had just finished fighting in the northwest, and the tacit north-south flank attack would consume the emperor's strength, so as to ensure that the Qianyuan Empire would never get a chance to breathe and become weaker and weaker. The appearance of Chen Wu only made Saladin determined to increase the scale of the Northern Expedition.

He looked at the masked north wind and said with a smile: "So, I will thank you for the Kingdom of Oman?" ”

"Exactly!"

Beifeng put on a natural attitude, and said intimidatingly: "The Nanfeng Fortress stretches for dozens of miles, and Na Leji is a famous general of the empire, and it is an army of more than 100,000 people, if it is not necessary, my emperor will naturally refuse to lose his troops to attack." If General Tiangong insists that he doesn't need help, then I will go back to Qi His Majesty and ask him to withdraw his army and ask him to stop asking. ”

"Oh?"

Chen Wu raised his eyebrows, but still didn't take the other party's threat to heart.

The Kingdom of Oman finally found such an excellent opportunity, and mobilized more than 300,000 troops with countless grains and grasses, and the daily cost was an astronomical amount. War is child's play! Not to mention anything else, just the countless nobles within the Kingdom of Oman who are ready to receive rewards and land for their military exploits will tear you apart in no time.

Even if he retreats 10,000 steps, the Kingdom of Oman is really withdrawn, and Leji sends an army to the north, Chen Wu still has two ways to choose. led the army to retreat back into the Bayan Mountains, waiting for an opportunity to rise again; Or stick to the Great Green Pass. With the danger of Daqing Pass, with 8,000 defenders inside, Leji has to come with at least 50,000 troops, pay countless casualties, and spend at least several months before it is possible to attack!

The Tiannan Legion is one of the few elite main forces in the empire, how can it be willing to pay so much price at Daqing Pass?

Even if he can fight strongly, Leji is most likely unwilling.

Chen Wu only needs to wait for the time to take a turn for the outside to appear.

It is precisely because of all considerations that Chen Wu has the confidence not to be afraid of the other party's threats. He directly picked up the tea and motioned for the other party to leave.

The north wind shook in his heart.

He wasn't sure if Chen Wu really didn't care, or if he was pretending to be posturing. I had to pretend not to see the meaning of Chen Wu's send-off, and quickly weighed it in my heart. Seeing that Chen Wu's attitude did not loosen at all, but instead served the teacup again, with an impatient expression, Beifeng finally realized that the other party really didn't take the Omani Kingdom and his words to heart.

He was in a hurry.

When he came, it was clearly explained that no matter what the conditions, His Majesty Saladin must let the Taiping army send troops to the south and attack the Nanfeng fortress from the back. Beifeng originally thought that as long as he let Chen Wu understand the form, the other party would be afraid of Leji's Tiannan Army, so he would agree to cooperate with him, and then the Oman Kingdom would take the initiative. Who would have thought that the other party would not eat this set......

The situation is completely different.

The north wind suddenly discovered that he had Saladin's will behind him, but he fell into passivity because of this.

Seeing that Chen Wu's face was becoming more and more impatient, and he seemed to be tired, it was estimated that he wanted to rest, and Beifeng knew that he only had the last chance to grasp. Before Chen Wu opened his mouth to drive people to talk irretrievably, he hurriedly said: "Yes, the army of our Oman Kingdom is indeed difficult to cross Tiannan County for a while, but it can help General Tiangong in other ways - in order to deal with the common enemy, anything can be discussed!" ”

The phrase "anything can be discussed" exposed his inner anxiety.

It also made Chen Wu understand that the person in front of him was still a little worse than the light of Qinghu Hutong. was driven away by himself a few times, and he couldn't hold his breath directly.

The initiative changed hands, and now that the other party wanted to beg for himself, Chen Wu stabilized his mind and said with an indispensable attitude: "Anything can be discussed?" In order to fight the army of the Qianyuan Empire, the Taiping army needs a lot of armor, weapons and craftsmen, as well as more crossbows and war horses, can you show it? If not, it is okay to simply give money, food and iron ore. ”

"Yes!"

To Chen Wu's surprise, Beifeng knew that most of these things were extremely important strategic materials, but he didn't think about it, so he agreed. It was simply Cheng dù, which made Chen Wu a little surprised.

The other party even said on the spot: "What General Tiangong wants, we can provide a lot." War horses and craftsmen, I don't know much about this, so let's not talk about it first. But weapons and armor can give you five thousand sets, and there will be no problem with grain and iron ore...... 200,000 stone of grain, how about it? ”

He tentatively came up with a number.

Five thousand sets of armor weapons, two hundred thousand stone grain, and something else?

The promise given by the north wind startled Chen Wu.

Can the Kingdom of Oman be willing to give so much to buy him?

If Saladin came to talk in person, Chen Wu did not doubt the other party's courage at all. But Beifeng is just a secret envoy, and it is hard to imagine that the other party will burst this price code as soon as he opens his mouth. Even if you get permission before you come, it stands to reason that you should try it first and then bid slowly?

With some skepticism, Chen Wu asked, "So, when will this aid arrive?" ”

A hint of cunning flashed in Beifeng's eyes, and he said with an embarrassed face: "As long as I send back news from here, food and weapons can be loaded and shipped from the Red River Valley immediately, but it's just ......"

This turn of events made Chen Wu understand what the other party was thinking.

Sure enough, the other party paused, and then said: "The Tiannan Legion occupies the Nanfeng Fortress and blocks the border reads();. Although we have the heart, the materials can't be transported. It's better to be like this, General Tiangong will lead the troops to the south and help us break through the Nanfeng fortress first. At that time, not only will all kinds of supplies be available, but if the general needs it, we can also send troops to help you fight Songjiang County directly! How is it? ”

And then by the way, I also destroyed my Taiping army, right?

Chen Wu sneered in his heart, he had completely seen through the idea of the north wind.

It seems that the conditions are extremely generous, but in fact, it is a mirror flower, and you can't eat it. If they were really deceived, Nan helped them fight the Nanfeng Fortress, and finally guaranteed that there would be no bones left to be eaten by the hungry wolf of the Oman Kingdom.

Saladin's ambition for the Central Plains is well known to everyone, and he, who is dedicated to becoming the main Qianyuan, can he be willing to let Chen Wu cut off Songjiang?

wanted to fool Chen Wu by drawing a big cake, but he would underestimate him too much.

Of course, what Chen Wu thought in his heart, his face did not show any light, but instead looked a little moved and mixed with concern, and hesitated: "Is your Oman Kingdom a good word?" What if the general hits the South Peak Fortress and you turn your face and don't admit it? ”

"No way!"

When Beifeng saw that there was a door, his mind became active, and he promised Chen Wu one after another, and was willing to leave a secret letter, and swore that the Kingdom of Oman had no interest in Songjiang County, and would leave after breaking the Nanfeng Fortress and destroying the old enemy in the north.

Because there was no danger to defend in the Red River Valley, there was only one Koi Castle, and although Leji's Tiannan Army was on the defensive, it was indeed a great disaster for the Omani Kingdom in a sense, causing them strong pressure in the north. It's just that in the early years, the Kingdom of Oman was a vassal state, and the Qianyuan Empire did not move. By the time the Kingdom of Oman showed its original form and began to annex the surrounding small countries in an unscrupulous manner, the shape of the empire no longer allowed Tiannan County to take the initiative to start a war.

On the surface, Boreas's argument makes sense—provided that Saladin doesn't know his imperial ambitions.

Chen Wu seemed to believe it, but he still didn't agree immediately, but prevaricated: "The situation of my Taiping Army, the pavilion probably doesn't know yet." In order to attack Daqingguan and Yuyang, he fought several battles with a garrison brigade and 1,500 cavalry companies in Songjiang, suffered heavy losses, and was unable to fight again in a short time. Even if you want to deal with your country, you need time to recuperate. Moreover, there are still many officers and soldiers on the Dengzhou side, and a part of the troops must be set aside to guard against them. In this case, only by recruiting more new troops can we have enough troops to help your country attack the Nanfeng Fortress......"

After entering Songjiang, Chen Wu's attitude towards the Omani Kingdom changed a little, and it was not exactly the same as when he was in Taiping County.

He didn't plan to go south from the beginning, but he was also unwilling to immediately tear his face with the Kingdom of Oman, after all, he still needed to use their tiger skin to put pressure on the empire. Therefore, the method he adopted was to be false and wrong, while asking for benefits from the Kingdom of Oman, and at the same time using the word "drag" until the Taiping army was strong.

Now, that's what he said about the north wind. To form a new army, you need silver money weapons and armor. Don't give any ready-made benefits, just let the south, who wants to be a Baba of the Taiping Army, have no door!

Beifeng probably realized this, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Five thousand is too much...... If, I mean, if we find a way to bring in 4,000 sets of weapons and armor, will General Tiangong immediately send troops? ”

Four thousand sets? The equipment of a brigade?

Chen Wu was vigilant in his heart, could the Kingdom of Oman have so much energy to evade the blockade of the South Peak Fortress and secretly transport the equipment of a garrison brigade in.

This didn't match what he remembered!
