273 Bargaining Advice
"Sure enough, it's Lord Xu, in a word."
Zheng Xiuyan's expression couldn't tell that she was praising people at all, a poker face, and the smiling face when she saw Xu Huabiao before, she was not a person at all.
Sure enough, friends return to friends, and political affairs return to political affairs.
"In order for General Han Geng to enter Beijing to pay homage to His Majesty, otherwise, General Han Geng must be allowed to lead his troops to capture Chang'an and clear the remnants of Zheng Yusheng and Pei Yongjun, or else...... General Li Xiuman was asked to send troops to capture Chang'an and clear the way. ”
“…… Li Xiuman is not worried about letting Han Geng capture Chang'an by himself? ”
Xu Huabiao nodded.
Han Geng probably wanted to enter Chang'an for a long time, but he never had a reliable excuse.
It is even possible that Han Geng may not want to go to Beijing to pay homage to the Son of Heaven, just for Chang'an......
"Lord Xu Huabiao, can you rest assured?" Zheng Xiuyan looked at Xu Huabiao in a daze and asked rhetorically.
Of course, this is not just a simple drag of Xu Huabiao into the water.
Although Chang'an and Luoyang are separated by Hongnong, after all, between the two capitals, they have always been one.
Zheng Yusheng and Pei Yongjun were driven back by themselves under Luoyang City before, Xu Huabiao was quite relieved, but if he was replaced by Han Geng, who Xu Huabiao had never dealt with......
Moreover, it is also a Han Geng who is said to have the idea of going to Beijing to face the saint.
God knows if he will directly lead troops to attack Luoyang! Therefore, Xu Huabiao would rather Chang'an fall into the hands of Li Xiuman than let it fall into the hands of Han Geng.
But Xu Huabiao still felt a little unhappy.
It feels like you're being taken advantage of.
"So, is this what you mean, or is that what Li Xiuman meant?"
"The lord has no energy to send troops to attack Chang'an for the time being." Zheng Xiuyan said seriously, "So, what he means is, we don't have to worry about it." But I think...... Mr. Xu, you probably won't allow it, right? ”
"Nothing is not allowed." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "Anyway, Bishui is locked up there, so it doesn't affect me." ”
"Really? Then I'll arrange to contact General Han Geng's side? ”
"Whatever you want. If General Han can't defeat Chang'an City, I can provide some support within my ability. ”
Xu Huabiao had a smile on his face.
Stiff.
If there is anyone in the world who is more reluctant to let Han Geng control Chang'an than Xu Huabiao, it is only Li Xiuman.
If the dignified Prime Minister could not personally send troops to sweep away the rebellion in Chang'an, it would be more humiliating than being almost killed by Zhang Dongjian in Wancheng.
You must know that laying down Chang'an is to vent your anger for the Son of Heaven!
"Actually, it's not impossible for the Prime Minister to lead the troops to clear Pei Yongjun and the others, but you have to lead the troops through your territory......
"From Nanyang, Wancheng, out of Wuguan, you can directly lead troops through Hongnong, and then directly enter Chang'an." Xu Huabiao interrupted Zheng Xiuyan's words, "I will let Hongnong's people assist the Prime Minister in sending troops." ”
Be quiet.
"I told you, the lord eats soft and not hard, and if he doesn't listen, he has to provoke him." Bae Joo-hyun, who was next to him, couldn't hold back, and finally interjected with a smile.
"I don't eat hard and soft." Xu Huabiao shook his head, "Spring is about to begin, and the people in Luoyang have to be busy farming, so they don't have time to go to Chang'an, and no one is welcome to make trouble at this time." So...... Well, I also asked Lord Zheng Xiuyan to return to the prime minister, and it was the best choice to enter Chang'an from Wancheng through Hongnong. ”
"Yes, Lady Su-yeon." Bae Joo-hyun also interjected with a smile on the side, "It just so happens that General Kim Tae-yeon is guarding Wancheng, and it should be very smooth for her to lead the troops to Chang'an and exterminate Pei Yongjun's remnants." ”
“……”
"If you need help with advice, and it's inconvenient for Lord Xiujing...... I can go to Lord Kim Taeyeon's army to help. Bae Joo-hyun continued to laugh.
"This ...... Not really. ”
mentioned Zheng Xiujing, Zheng Xiuyan's face instantly turned bad.
"Then I wish Lord Kim Taeyeon good luck and success." Bae Joo-hyun smiled and arched her hand to Jung so-yeon.
Embarrassed.
The talk fell apart.
Zheng Xiuyan sighed softly.
"I knew that Xiujing invited Ying to come by herself, so I shouldn't have stopped it." Zheng Xiuyan complained.
"It's useless for her to come, Lord Xiuyan, you should understand." Bae Joo-hyun came out again in time to stop him.
Xu Huabiao chose to shut up.
"I also ask Lord Xu to send troops to help the Prime Minister capture Chang'an."
Zheng Xiuyan looked at Bae Joo-hyun directly.
"We sent troops to help the Prime Minister obtain Chang'an, and you yourself said so, do you think it is reasonable?"
Bae Joo-hyun asked Zheng Xiuyan rhetorically.
"Your Majesty will miss Lord Xu......" Zheng Xiuyan looked serious.
"Well, my lord will be loyal to His Majesty. When we have gathered all the armaments and rations we can send troops, we will set out to fight for your majesty's rebellion. Bae Joo-hyun smiled.
Be quiet.
"What conditions do you want?"
"Money, food." Bae Joo-hyun replied very simply, "Isn't that for sure?" ”
"How much?"
"Half a year's rations for 20,000 soldiers, and armaments for 3,000 soldiers...... Mostly bows and arrows. 3,000 armor and 100,000 arrows. ”
"You're asking for too much."
"All the way to Chang'an, you have to pass through Tongguan first." Bae Joo-hyun didn't mean to give in at all, "That's a Xiongguan that is not inferior to the Tiger Prison Pass." Plus the fortified city of Chang'an...... Anyway, when the matter is over, we will have 10,000 soldiers in the battle damage, and this little money and food will be just enough for the compensation. If it weren't for the fact that the lord was a hussar general appointed by His Majesty, we would not have agreed to send troops with any amount of food. ”
"With so much money and food, the prime minister can't get it for a while......"
"Lord Xiuyan, you are the chief butler of the Prime Minister, you say this, but you don't want to talk about it." Bae Joo-hyun shook his head, "How much food the Prime Minister has and how much he can come up with, there is no better understanding in the world than you." What you say counts. ”
Zheng Xiuyan looked at Bae Joo-hyun and squinted her eyes slightly.
It's been a while.
"Four months' rations for 20,000 soldiers, 1,000 pairs of armor, and 50,000 arrows."
"Five months' rations, two thousand armor, and eighty thousand arrows." Bae Joo-hyun shook his head, "Below this number, we won't send troops." ”
Be quiet.
Jung so-yeon seemed to be lost in thought.
"Do you need a pen and paper to do the math?" Xu Huabiao pushed the paper on the desk in front of him towards Zheng Xiuyan.
"Do you really need so many things?" Zheng Xiuyan looked at Xu Huabiao and asked.
"We won't send troops below that." Bae Joo-hyun interjected beside him.
Zheng Xiuyan didn't pay attention to Bae Joo-hyun, but looked at Xu Huabiao.
Xu Huabiao glanced at Pei Zhuhyun and smiled.
"I didn't fight, who knows how many things I wanted?" Xu Huabiao put away his smile and replied: "Make a price, we will fight, the province is that we earn, and if we spend more, we will lose ourselves, so you can have an assessment." Otherwise, we will be able to shoot 200,000 arrows in ten days under Tongguan. ”
"But the price you made ......"
"Don't say you can't take it out, if you say you can't take it out, then there is really nothing to talk about." Xu Huabiao interrupted Zheng Xiuyan's words.
“…… Yes. I'm going to write a letter to someone to send something to Luoyang. ”
"The day after the things arrived, I arranged for someone to send troops." Xu Huabiao saw that Zheng Xiuyan was so straightforward, so he agreed very simply.
"Can I arrange for someone to send half of it first, and wait until the autumn ......?"
"Then can I knock down Tongguan first, and then go to Chang'an after autumn?"
“……”
Zheng Xiuyan smiled helplessly and shook her head.
