Wen Yi could guess their thoughts, so he said: "We can't send troops in vain without any benefit. If we really don't want benefits, Huan Wen and Baekje won't believe us. ”

There are benefits? The crowd immediately came to their senses.

"Let's talk about Huan Wen first, go find him, and say that we will help him provide information, and we will find a way to hold back part of Yan Guo's troops elsewhere."

"The request is that after the deed is completed, we will be given a part of the displaced people and prisoners of war...... I'm sure Huan Wen will agree. ”

"On the other side of Baekje, Lelang County is the hometown of the former Han Dynasty, and there are still more than 2,000 Han families living here."

"We can cooperate with Baekje to take this place, the land will belong to Baekje, and the more than 2,000 Han families will belong to our Tang Kingdom."

There are at least 10,000 people in 2,000 households, not to mention that they can contain Yan Guo, even if it is for more than 10,000 people, it is worth making a move.

As for Baekje after it acquired Rajanang-gun...... They will become a thorn in the side of Yan and Goguryeo, and whether they can hold it is a matter of two questions.

Even if it can be defended, it will become a meat grinder, constantly devouring the troops and resources of the three kingdoms, which is something that Tang is very happy to see.

After listening to Wen Yi's analysis, everyone's attitude immediately changed, fight, this battle must be fought.

Then there is the issue of sending troops, and this time naturally there is no need for Wen Yi to drive in person.

With Chai Ben as the main general, He Fang as the deputy general, Liu Meng as the vanguard, Ma Yibai, Wu Heng, Wang An and others as the generals of the army, led 6,000 sailors to support Baekje.

Yue Shan led two battalions under his command as support in case of accidents.

Only 4,000 troops were left to defend the Tang State.

A part of the militia is also mobilized during the war to prevent accidents.

Everything is ready, just wait for the situation outside to change.

……

Jiangling, as the starting point of Huan Wen's Northern Expedition, has turned into a huge military camp at this time.

An army of 50,000 gathered here, warships were parked on the river, and there were countless people transporting grain and grass.

So many people gathered together, but there was no confusion, the advance and retreat of the various armies were orderly, and the actions of the people were in their own rules.

Just from this point, it can be seen that Huan Wen is not a waste of fame.

On this day, as soon as Huan Wen finished dealing with the matter in his hand, he heard the guard report: "General, a person who claims to be the envoy of the Tang State asks to see him." ”

Huan Wen was a little surprised: "Tang State envoy? They came to me what to do. ”

Thinking of the fact that he wanted to cooperate with Tang Guo but was rejected, he felt a burst of disgust in his heart and said, "No." ”

"Yes."

"Slow." But Huan rushed out to dissuade him: "Brother, the people of the Tang Kingdom have always been unprofitable and can't afford to be early, there must be a reason to see you at such a time, why don't you see him." ”

"And the last time we took the initiative to cooperate with them was rejected, this time may be an opportunity."

Huan Wen is ambitious and desperate to enhance his strength, Tang Guo is notoriously wealthy, and he has privately approached Tang Guo to carry out in-depth cooperation before.

For example, privately trade more goods to them, such as buying some sensitive military supplies or something.

was rejected mercilessly, and since then he has been more disgusted with Tang Guo.

But for people like him, personal preferences don't matter anymore, or their preferences follow interests.

It would be good if you could use this opportunity to establish contact with Tang Guo.

Thinking of this, he changed his mind and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you once, let him in." ”

After a while, a person dressed as a typical Tang State walked in.

"Tang Guo Liang Xian has seen General Huan."

Huan Wen said with a cold face: "You said that you are the envoy of the Tang Kingdom, can you have proof?" ”

Liang Xian said: "It depends on what capacity the general wants to talk to me." If it is as the general of the Jin State to conquer the West, I have a national letter here. ”

"If you are the lord of the Huan clan of the country, please forgive me for not being able to give any proof."

Huan Wen's heart moved, and he said to the guard: "You retreat, don't let people in without my order." ”

When no one left, the expression on his face softened a lot, and said, "Mr. Pan, please take a seat." ”

never mentioned the matter of identity, although he did not directly say in what capacity, but the meaning could not be more obvious.

"I don't know what Mr. Liang is looking for me?"

Liang Xian said: "I learned that the general intends to go north to Yao Xiang, and my king intends to help. ”

Huan Wen said in surprise: "What? You Tang want to send troops to Luoyang? ”

At the same time, I also raised my vigilance in my heart, this Tang Kingdom doesn't want to dominate the world, right?

Liang Xian said: "No, the general is a famous general in the world, and he can't beat Yao Xiang to capture him." But our country got the exact news, and the Yan State was ready to move, intending to take the opportunity to attack the general. ”

"If Yao Xiang and Yan Guo join forces, with the current strength of the general, I'm afraid it won't be easy to deal with."

Huan Wen said: "Our army can advance and retreat freely with the benefits of the water division, even if Murong Jun comes to attack the country, what can I do." ”

Liang Xian said: "The general is naturally not afraid, but if you retreat from Xuchang and Luoyang, you will fall into the hands of Yan State." ”

"At that time, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Sili may not be able to protect, and even Xu and Henan will be threatened."

Huan Wen's face was gloomy and he didn't speak, as if he was lost in thought.

Huan Chong said at the right time: "Then how are you going to help Tang Guo and send troops directly?" ”

Liang Xian said with praise: "Luoyang is the battlefield of the general, how dare I show ugliness in the Tang Kingdom." ”

"And my country is also strong in the naval division, even if we send troops to Luoyang, it will be difficult to pose a threat to the Yan State, which is good at foot riding, but it will affect the command of the general because of the lack of military orders."

"But our country can contain Yan Guo from other places, at least it can stumble the 100,000 elite troops of Yan State for the general, so that they can't deal with the general with all their might."

Huan Wen still didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard.

But Huan Chong already knew what he meant, and said, "How are you going to contain Yan Guo?" ”

Liang Xian shook his head and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to answer this question for the time being. ”

"And how am I going to trust you?"

"The time for us to do it will definitely be before the general makes a move, and you will naturally know when the time comes."

Huan Chong didn't dare to make a decision, and looked at Huan Wen.

Huan Wen pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.

Huan Chong then said, "What do you want?" ”

Liang Xian said: "People, there will inevitably be a lot of exiles and captives after the war, and the general only needs to hand over some of them to us." ”

Hearing this condition, Huan Wen and Huan Chong both frowned, the strength of Tang Guo is unknown, but one thing is certain, it is very rich.

The homeless people, who are very difficult in other countries, can easily be transformed into real combat effectiveness in their hands.

Once the strength of the Tang Kingdom increased to a certain extent, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not covet the Central Plains.

Liang Xian seemed to see what they meant, and said: "We don't all have to be young and strong, if we are from a family, old and young, women and children can be, but at least fifty percent must be young and strong." ”
