Chapter Thirty-Nine: To Goose City
When he knew who the person behind Liu Cheng was, Lu Heng was not so panicked.
Only the invisible enemy is the most terrifying.
Xiong Kewu is very powerful, far from what Lu Heng can compete with now, but Lu Heng has no intention of wrestling with this warlord leader in the south, if he just protects himself, I believe that as long as he finds a way, he can still do it.
After pacifying his two subordinates, Lu Heng thought quickly in his mind and asked, "Xiong Kewu and Liu Cunhou are fighting, right?" ”
Zhang Yi nodded: "That's right, the current battle situation is still deadlocked, but Liu Cunhou's defeat has been revealed." ”
Lu Heng then asked: "For Xiong Kewu, Liu Cunhou is the enemy, what are we in his eyes?" ”
Zhang Yi thought for a while and said tentatively: "The disease of ringworm scabies? ”
"No!" Ma Bangde's eyes suddenly lit up, "What Liu Cheng is doing is all reselling tobacco and trafficking in people, and he is unsightly." We took his money, and Xiong Kewu didn't dare to claim it openly. If he wants to eat us, he will definitely lose his soldiers; But just let us go, and I was unwilling. So for him, we are now his hemorrhoids! ”
Ma Bond's analysis was not bad before, but as soon as the last two words came out, the expressions on Lu Heng and Zhang Yi's faces froze at the same time, and then the two of them turned their heads together and stared at Ma Bond with cold eyes.
Ma Bond looked left and right, and cautiously changed his words: "His ...... Secret trouble? ”
"This amount of money is not small," Lu Heng said without a trace, "and Kangcheng originally belonged to Xiong Kewu, but it was occupied by us, he must be very angry, but he has to weigh whether the value of the generation cost to attack us at this time is worth it?" We really counted him as a big problem. ”
Zhang Yi also said suddenly at this moment: "In this way, Li Weiru Chen Bing outside the city, in fact, is also waiting for Xiong Kewu to make a decision, whether it is war or talk?" ”
"So what we have to do is to make Xiong Kewu feel that he should talk to us?" Ma Bond became excited, with a look of "big brother, you see I'm smart" and asked for praise.
Lu Heng ignored him and said, "So, let's take two steps." ”
"Which two steps?" Zhang Yi asked eagerly.
Ma Bond glanced at Zhang Yi unhappily, the work of praising was his before......
"The first step is to send someone to talk to Li Weiru!" Lu Heng said, "Through Li Weiru, tell Xiong Kewu that we have no intention of being an enemy of him, and this money, even if we borrow him, we can give him a written note." Moreover, we are willing to accept his co-optation. ”
Of course, repaying the money is just a word, so that both sides can have a step down the ladder of relaxation.
"It's a good step!" Ma Bond clapped his hands and boasted, "Show the enemy to be weak and develop in a low-key manner, big brother, I think this step can be used as the current development policy of our army." ”
Lu Heng smiled and continued: "Of course, if I were Xiong Kewu, this battle would still have to be fought, whether the bones are hard or not, you will only know if you bite it." If we're just a piece of fat, he wouldn't mind swallowing us in one gulp. So, we're going to take the second step? ”
Ma Bond hurriedly asked, "What is this second step?" ”
"Buy weapons, recruit talents, train new soldiers!" Lu Heng said, "Iron striking still needs its own hardness, we must have the strength to fight as soon as possible, so the second step and the first step must be carried out at the same time, and it must be fast!" ”
Ma Bond frowned and said, "But my nephew Ma Feng has not heard from him so far, and the matter of weapons ......"
"Who is the largest arms dealer in the South?" Lu Heng asked.
"Goose City Huang Shiro!" Ma Bangde said, "This person is a tyrant in the southern country, and Cao Ying is still called a brother and sister, and he is also Liu Cunhou's guest, who specializes in buying and selling tobacco and ammunition for Liu Cunhou. ”
Zhang Yi added: "Huang Shilang is a treacherous and cunning person, I have seen him under Cao Ying, this person is not bent on following Liu Cunhou, he is betting on both ends, and he also has a deal on Xiong Kewu's side." ”
Bang!
Lu Heng slapped the table and said, "Then we'll ask him to buy arms!" ”
"I'm afraid Huang Shilang's shrewdness won't be unaware of our situation," Ma Bond worried, "I'm afraid he won't sell us at all." ”
"Can you help him?" Lu Heng sneered, "Old Ma, we are warlords now, when have you ever seen a warlord honestly trading with people?" ”
"If you don't sell it, you will destroy him!" Zhang Yi's eyes showed murderous anger, "Cao Ying has fallen, Xiong Kewu will definitely not treat this two-faced person with three swords." I guess Huang Shilang must be looking for a way back now. Handsome! Humblely asked for life, sent the soldiers to the Goose City, and destroyed Huang Shilang! ”
"No way!" Lu Heng flatly refused, "Our soldiers and horses can't move." ”
Ma Bangde explained to Zhang Yi: "Brother Zhang Yi, with the situation of our confrontation with the Southern Army, once we make a move, Li Weiru will inevitably act. At that time, not only will we not be able to reach Goose City, but we will fight him in advance. ”
"W-what then?" Zhang Yi looked at Lu Heng.
Lu Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Our two steps must be carried out at the same time. We are divided into three ways! ”
"Zhang Yi, you stay in Cannes and train recruits immediately, don't ask how elite they are, and don't ask them how accurate they are, at least a little - they can shoot! How long does it take? ”
Zhang Yi stood up abruptly and said loudly: "Report to the commander, it only takes three days, and I am willing to make a military order!" ”
"Good!" Lu Heng nodded and looked at Ma Bond. "Old Ma, if you go to Goose City with me, you will meet Huang Shilang."
Ma Bond also said loudly and decently: "Yes, handsome! ”
Zhang Yi asked, "Dashuai, your safety ......?"
Lu Heng said: "Give me a battalion, break it into pieces, quietly go out of the city, and wait for me at the main road of Goose City." ”
"And what about this stretch?" Zhang Yi continued to ask, "When you go out of the city, no one around you can......"
Lu Heng looked at Ma Bond: "How is Wang Weihu?" ”
Ma Bond said: "This kid's body is solid, and he is already alive and well." ”
"Just let him follow us!" Lu Hengdao.
"Then the Southern Army, who is going to talk?" Marbond asked.
"Who do you think is the best fit?" Lu Heng asked rhetorically.
"Got it." Ma Bond nodded, "Big brother, I'll talk to him later." ”
Lu Heng nodded nondeniably, and continued: "Take a pen and paper." ”
"Yes, Dashuai!" One of the guards immediately ran out.
After a cup of tea, Lu Heng handed a list to Zhang Yi and said, "The people on it, find a way to dig it, they should be under the command of a warlord in the south now, and they are all small company commanders or platoon commanders." Send someone to contact them and tell them that as long as they come to Cannes, I will give a battalion to the company commander, and I will give a regiment to the battalion commander, and the settlement fee of ten gold bars will be paid in cash! ”
"Rao Guohua, Wang Mingzhang......" Zhang Yi read it, frowned and said: "Dashuai, these people ......"
"It's all talent." Lu Heng explained.
These people are all famous generals of the future Sichuan Army, and the minimum achievement is at least the level of division commander. However, most of them died in the war of resistance, which is staggering.
That night, Lu Heng led Ma Bangde, Wang Weihu and his party quietly out of the city and headed for Goose City.
There, Huang Shilang, a tyrant in the south, and Zhang Mazi of the Wuthering Mountains and Forests, were waiting for his arrival.
