Chapter 655: Lu Shuai Visits
As a strategic point, Baishi City naturally has a lot of strategic materials in reserve, especially alchemy materials, which are impossible to without. It's just that although there are many quantities, the types are not rich, basically they are some more commonly used materials, and the pills that can be refined are also some low-quality pills. This is actually very normal, because although there are also powerhouses in the Divine Transformation Realm and the Divine Spirit Realm in the army, the strength of more soldiers is still below the Spiritual Cultivation Realm, and the pills required cannot be too high-level, so there is no need to have a lot of high-quality materials on hand.
Even so, for Xia Fan, it is enough to use. After all, he still has some alchemy materials in his hand, and after re-matching various materials, he can finally achieve the effect he wants.
It's just that because he was busy with alchemy, he inevitably delayed some time, so that Xia Fan's original plan was to take the initiative to discuss with Lu Chuan what to do in the next battle, but he didn't expect that he hadn't gone yet, but Lu Chuan took the initiative to come to the door.
"If you don't come to me, I'll go to you, and now that you're here, we can talk about the next step. Seeing the secret of Lu Chuan's coming, Xia Fan obviously didn't plan to reveal his whereabouts, so he didn't let others serve him, and personally made tea and sent it to him.
"Your side has been so lively recently, the fight is in full swing, and the whole battle is about to be driven, if I don't come to talk to you face to face, I don't know what will become of it. Lu Chuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The tea is good, it is estimated that it is difficult for the world to think that the little prince still has this hand." ”
Lu Chuan seemed to be talking about tea, but in fact, he also meant something else, after all, Xia Fan's every move was unexpected, and now his plans were so ambitious that even Lu Chuan couldn't guess it.
If when Xia Fan came to Lu Chuan to talk about cooperation, Lu Chuan was still a little skeptical, then now he is more surprised than happy. Every time I think about it, Xia Fan doesn't seem to be very powerful now, but Lu Chuan always has a feeling of seeking skin with the tiger.
But now in the situation, he has to cooperate with Xia Fan.
"Is it because the tea itself is good, or is it because I made it, so you think it tastes good?" Xia Fan said about the tea very seriously, and didn't seem to notice the meaning of Lu Chuan's words.
"It's all good. Lu Chuan smiled slightly and looked at Xia Fan: "Tea tastes different from person to person, and good tea also requires good craftsmanship, who would have thought that the little prince would have such a means." In fact, I have some doubts, now the Han Dynasty is stormy, turmoil is everywhere, and the trend of the heroes competing for the world has come out. ”
"Hey, be cautious, be cautious, even if your Lanyu Kingdom is a country of its own, after all, it is still a subject country of the Han Dynasty, how can this kind of rebellious words come out of the mouth of your Lu Chuan and Lu Dashuai, this is to punish the Nine Clans, and the words of the Great Rebellious. Xia Fan looked scared, and looked around, as if he was afraid that something would happen.
Lu Chuan's face suddenly had a black line, and he was speechless for a while, he believed everyone in the world who was like this, only this Xia Fan was like this, and he didn't believe it if he was killed.
He is still loyal and patriotic, and he is still afraid of causing trouble because of his words, what jokes he makes, what this kid doesn't dare to do, what he won't do.
"Everyone in this world can be afraid, but I don't believe that the little prince will be afraid, doesn't the little prince have such thoughts?" Lu Chuan spoke sharply, he was still playing a sharp edge just now, like a politician, and suddenly the blade was approaching. Suddenly, ordinary people would definitely be caught off guard, but Xia Fan's reaction was even more conscious, leaving Lu Chuan speechless, but Lu Chuan was a soldier in the army, and then he was reluctant to give up again and asked directly again.
"The ass decides the head, when to say something, this thing is not just to think about it, I'm a good person, I don't like to fantasize out of thin air, I do it again, it's better than when I'm done. What will happen in the future, how it will change in the future, who knows. Just like the current battle situation, do you dare to say that you will win in the end?" Xia Fan seemed to be very honest, but he didn't answer this question.
In fact, he didn't mind talking about this kind of topic directly, but he didn't want Lu Chuan to find more information in these words.
"Of course I dare say. Although Xia Fan said so, Lu Chuan's eyes still flashed, and then he looked at Xia Fan firmly and said: "Because I have your help, as the so-called righteous help is more helpful and less unjust, so I won." I was only four points sure, but now I have twelve. ”
Lu Chuan's words are definitely to promote Xia Fan, and being able to say this is enough to prove that Lu Chuan values Xia Fan's influence on the battle situation.
"Haha......" Xia Fan seemed to be very happy when he heard it, and smiled when he met Lu Chuan, but in his heart, Xia Fan immediately understood the meaning of Lu Chuan's words, and at this moment he was even more worried about himself than Lan Haolin.
But fortunately, Lu Chuan once told him that his goal was not the Blue Jade Country, and Xia Fan's subsequent development direction was definitely not the Blue Jade Country.
But from another point of view, Lu Chuan had a feeling that it was not Xia Fan's kindness, but his extreme self-confidence.
After laughing, the atmosphere in the room became much better, and there were fewer unnecessary arguments about the follow-up strategic deployment. Of course, the two are only cooperating now, so when interests are involved at some point, they still have to fight, but both of them will have a good sense of proportion, so the fight is of course to fight, but the two sides also have compromises with each other, but they will not quarrel because of this.
Part of the reason why Lu Chuan came this time was also related to the implementation of Xia Fan's recent training plan.
After having enough elixirs, the Marquis of Yukong Yuebu began to take turns to lead his troops out to harass Yunhuanhu. Although it did not lead to a particularly large war, skirmishes of 3,500 men were common.
In this process, the army on Xia Fan's side became more and more fierce, while the army stationed in Yunhuanhu Lake became more and more unhappy. Because every time they start fighting, they send fewer people, not the enemy's opponent, but when the number of people sent is large, the enemy will run away, and even occasionally barbarians will come to help, and as soon as they charge down, their side will suffer heavy casualties.
In this way, after a few battles, the defenders of Yunhuanhu Lake lost seven or eight thousand as soon as they counted their soldiers and horses, and they were suddenly depressed. After reporting to Lan Haolin, he was inevitably scolded like a dog's blood.
And the defenders of Yunhuanhu Lake were also ashamed and brave, and began to actively counterattack, although they still inevitably suffered losses, but they were stronger than before. In addition, they suffered losses on Xia Fan's side, so they tried to find a way to find a balance elsewhere, so they aimed at Lu Chuan's army. As the two sides come and go, the two sides become a big fire, and there is a tendency for a small-scale local battle to evolve into a large-scale all-out decisive battle.
This is naturally not in line with Lu Chuan's thoughts, but the source of the whole thing is related to Xia Fan's soldiers and horses, and he had no choice but to come over and discuss with him, so as to reach a tacit understanding and try to ensure that each other's actions can be unified, so as to better suppress Lan Haolin's army.
It is precisely because of this idea that Lu Chuan's words just now said that with your help, you can win this war.
It's just that Xia Fan doesn't agree with such a statement, at least he won't admit that he is just in an auxiliary position, and part of the controversy in the subsequent conversation between the two is related to this.
Arguments are arguments, but in the end, there was a result, which made both sides relax a lot.
"I have a newly obtained important piece of information here, I wonder if you are interested?" After talking about business and chatting a few words over tea, Lu Chuan threw out a new topic.
"Whether you're interested or not depends on what the information you're talking about is related to. Xia Fan didn't directly answer whether he was interested or not, but kicked the ball back.
"I heard that although you defeated Fang Sen's army, you failed to capture Fang Sen due to the sudden appearance of the poisonous crow, right?"
"That's right. Xia Fan nodded and said, "Could it be that your so-called intelligence is related to them?"
"Hmm. Lu Chuan smiled: "Now are you interested in hearing the information I said?" ”
"Nope. Xia Fan shook his head and said, "Fang Sen doesn't have an army in his hands, that is, he is a defeated general, and it won't be of much use to me if I can't catch him." As for the poisonous crow, I don't bother to care where it went, as long as it doesn't come to oppose me, so you might as well keep this information for yourself. ”
Having said that, Xia Fan knew in his heart that the information Lu Chuan was going to say must be extraordinary, and maybe something important was involved. It's just that right now it's like talking about business, Lu Chuan wants to sell, he wants to buy it, if he is too eager, then he will fall into Lu Chuan's arms, and then he can't tell how exaggerated the price he will offer, so in order not to be pinched by him later, he needs to be more indifferent.
In fact, Xia Fan's words were not all deliberately said for the sake of bargaining, for him, whether he could catch Fang Sen really didn't mean much, at least it wouldn't affect the entire occupation. After all, Fang Sen's strength was not very strong, and the only thing worth mentioning about him, in addition to his ability to lead troops, might be his ability to control the military formation.
It's just that after a fiasco, even if he still wants to lead the troops again, it's really hard to say whether Lan Haolin can trust him.
Therefore, Xia Fan was not in much of a hurry to arrest Fang Sen. What he was really curious about at this time was that Lu Chuan said that his innocence was related to Poison Crow and Fang Sen, so it meant that the two of them were still together at this moment, which made Xia Fan very curious, because he really couldn't imagine what these two guys would do when they mixed together.
"You, you, you really don't want to suffer a little loss. Seeing Xia Fan like this, Lu Chuan had no idea. He came to Xia Fan, on the one hand, it was indeed to discuss the follow-up strategic arrangements, and on the other hand, he wanted to tell Xia Fan this information, in order to use Xia Fan's power to do something. Originally, Lu Chuan wanted to use this as bait to hang Xia Fan's appetite, so as to increase the bargaining chips in the negotiations later.
But now that Xia Fan has put on such a so-called posture, it makes Lu Chuan feel like he is being held in mid-air.
"You come to beg me to do something, you should always have an attitude of begging people, if you want to take advantage of me and let me owe you a personal favor, don't even think about it. When Xia Fan saw Lu Chuan say this, he immediately figured out some things, immediately picked it up, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea and said: "To say it or not, you can decide as soon as possible, I have a lot of things to do recently, and I can't grind my teeth with you on such a meaningless little thing." ”
"Xia Fan, this is not a trivial matter. Lu Chuan looked at Xia Fan, and after being silent for a long time, he finally smiled helplessly: "If it weren't for the fact that there are not many gods and spirit realm powerhouses in the army on my side, and they all have important things to do, I wouldn't have been able to pull out at all, and I wouldn't have taken the initiative to come to you for this matter, but I didn't expect you to get a bargain, but I begged you." ”
"Hehe......" Xia Fan laughed twice, and directly took Lu Chuan's complaint as a deaf ear. He wouldn't argue with Lu Chuan about this kind of thing, since he got cheap, it didn't matter if he was said a few words. If you take care of everything, it will seem too stingy.
"Actually, it's a long story. Since Lu Chuan decided to tell Xia Fan, he no longer hid it, and immediately said: "As early as Fang Sen, when Yu Hong and Zhou Yaozu led the troops out, I received some rumors that they brought the troops over, in addition to dealing with me, there was a more important thing to do, which is why Hetian Dao would send two powerhouses of the Divine Spirit Realm to help Fang Sen." ”
