Wu Shanhui didn't know what Huang Zhang wanted to do, and said suspiciously: "Your Highness, please speak." ”

"I want to borrow troops from General Wu!"

"Borrowed soldiers?"

Hearing this, Wu Shan was directly dumbfounded, what kind of request is this? A dignified waste prince, will he still lead troops to fight?

"That's right, I want to borrow 30,000 soldiers! Wucheng is the territory given to me by the imperial court, but now it is in the hands of the barbarians, if I don't take it back, I will live up to my father's heart! ”

As soon as Huang Zhang finished speaking, Wu Shanhui directly refused: "No! The body of the eldest prince is ten thousand gold, how can he take risks, and this kind of thing of leading troops to fight is still left to us to lead the troops! ”

"I know that General Wu is afraid of being responsible, but from the moment I left Beijing, my life and death have been bound to Wucheng, and now that the barbarian army is close at hand, if I let them go, what face will I have to see His Majesty the Emperor? If General Wu insists on refusing, then when I return to Beijing, I can only report General Wu's refusal to fight with the barbarian army in Tianjiabao and tell the truth! ”

Hearing Huang Zhang's threat, Wu Shan would clench his fists. It can be seen that Huang Zhang's words made him really angry.

"Okay, since His Highness insists on staying, I will no longer stop it, as for His Highness to borrow 30,000 troops, this ......"

Wu Shanhui was hesitating, and a general under him stood up and said: "Your Royal Highness, there are only 50,000 troops in Tianjiabao, and the main force of the barbarian army is about to arrive, and now we are already overstretched, it is really difficult to lend so many people to His Royal Highness the Great Prince." ”

Hearing someone interject, Huang Zhang asked with some displeasure, "Who are you?" ”

"The last general Gan Shui, Kyoto Gan Shi, the current pioneer under the account of General Pingnan!"

Hearing that the general reported to his home, Huang Zhang said with a disgusted face: "Swill? How did your dad give you that name? Isn't it too much to be buried? ”

"You ......"

Hearing Huang Zhang's complaint, Gan Shui's face turned red with anger.

The name is like hair and skin, and his parents, and now Huang Zhang actually makes fun of his name, which is not only insulting him, but also insulting his parents!

If it weren't for Huang Zhang's identity, I'm afraid Gan Shui would have to draw his sword.

Seeing that Huang Zhang's mouth was sharp, Wu Shanhui came out to play a round and said: "I can understand Your Highness's feelings, but these 30,000 people, I really can't take it out now, Your Majesty appointed me as General Pingnan, if the war is lost because of the private borrowing of troops, this responsibility must not be borne by His Royal Highness the Great Prince!" ”

Huang Zhang knew that Wu Shan would definitely move out of the Emperor of Suguo, hum! He had already guessed that the other party would say that.

However, he didn't expect Wu Shan to give him so many people in advance.

"Okay, since 30,000 people can't do it, it's okay to borrow seven or eight thousand, right? If this refuses, then His Highness will only have to return to Beijing, and I will not be responsible for any orders from His Majesty's side at that time! ”

When Wu Shanhui heard this, he immediately clapped his hand and said, "Okay! Twenty or thirty thousand books will not be able to be taken out, but seven thousand eight thousand will still be fine. ”

Then, he glanced at the generals in the line and pointed to the last one.

"Chu Liang, you will take your Northwest Army to listen to the command of His Royal Highness the Great Prince!"

As soon as Wu Shanhui's order was given, Chu Liang stood out of the queue.

"The last general, Chu Liang, a native of the Northwest County, is currently serving in the Northwest Army, and is willing to listen to the dispatch of His Royal Highness the Great Prince!"

Chu Liang is seven feet tall, strong, and speaks a heavy northwest dialect, at first glance, he is a typical Northwest yellow sand man!

"Chu Liang, right? Good! Go and count your Northwest Army, and set off with me early tomorrow morning! ”

"The last general commands!" Chu Liang didn't ask much, and turned around and left directly.

Huang Zhang was already very satisfied with being able to borrow soldiers from Wu Shanhui, he was originally just trying to see if Wu Shanhui would give it to himself, not to give it, and it was also in the process of being cleaned up, and it was already very unexpected to get Chu Liang and his Northwest Army.

"What else does His Royal Highness the Grand Prince want?" Wu Shanhui then asked.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Huang Zhang is too lazy to make a false deal with him here.

I saw him shake his hand with disdain, and left the hall directly with Zhuang Chengfeng.

Looking at Huang Zhang's distant figure, Wu Shanhui's originally kind face immediately became cloudy.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, Wu Shanhui also shook his hand and left!

Today's meeting with Huang Zhang gave him a glimpse of what the rumored eldest prince was like! Originally, he thought it was a waste, he didn't take it seriously before, but now it seems that Huang Zhang is really difficult to deal with!

However, after all, he is the general of Pingnan appointed by the emperor, although his status is not as high as Huang Zhang, but his power is more than a little higher than Huang Zhang, plus he has military power in his hands, and the current situation is still under his control.

The reason why Chu Liang was lent to Huang Zhang was also because Chu Liang and the Northwest Army he led disagreed with his political views, and it was a good thing for him to kick them out together, as for what Huang Zhang would do with Chu Liang's Northwest Army, he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

With only 8,000 people, what kind of storm can be set off?

——

Early the next morning, as soon as Wu Shanhui sent someone to ask Huang Zhang for peace, he had already left Tianjiabao with Chu Liang and the 8,000 Northwest Army.

On the way, Huang Zhang looked at the sturdy northwest man beside him and asked curiously, "What grievances are there between you and Wu Shanhui?" ”

Hearing Huang Zhang suddenly ask himself this, Chu Liang was a little surprised.

"How did Your Highness know that there was a conflict between me and Wu Shanhui?"

Huang Zhang smiled, "I have seen it, the Northwest Army is upper-class in terms of military appearance and military discipline and combat effectiveness, your Chu Liang's body is not bad at a glance, but Wu Shan will lend you to me, you said that if it wasn't for his enmity with you, how could he be willing?" As far as I know, Wu Shanhui doesn't seem to be such a generous person! ”

"Haha." Hearing Huang Zhang's analysis, Chu Liang couldn't help but laugh heartily: "Your Highness is really smart, I heard rumors in Beijing that His Royal Highness the Great Prince only knows alchemy all day long, and he is bored with health, and now it seems that it is just a lie!" ”

Then, he explained to Huang Zhang: "Wushanhui was originally the General Department of Soldiers and Horses in the Northern Territory, and the Northern Army and our Northwest Army are at odds all year round, and Wushanhui even has a holiday with me, and it is normal for him to look down on me." ”

After listening to Chu Liang's words, Huang Zhang suddenly felt that there was a problem, and hurriedly asked: "You just said that Wu Shan will be the General Department of Soldiers and Horses in the North, and you are joining the Northwest Army, you two have a northern border and a northwest, why did you come to the south?" ”

This barbarian invasion, no matter how critical the situation is, there is no need to dispatch troops from the north and northwest, right? If Huang Zhang remembers correctly, there are five major military regions in the Su State, namely the Southern Army of Su Guo centered on Tianfu County in the south, the Northern Army led by Wu Shanhui, the Northwest Army where Chu Liang is located, the Beijing Army of Gongwei Beijing Division, and the Henghe Water Army stationed on the eastern border.

Even if the southern army of Su State is wiped out by the barbarian army now, the imperial court should send the Beijing army over, how can there be any reason to transfer troops from the northwest and north?

Regarding Huang Zhang's doubts, Chu Liang began to explain: "Your Highness has been staying in Tianfu County, and may not know the major events that have happened recently, there has been a severe drought in the central and western regions of Suguo this year, and the three most severely affected counties have begun to rebel, and the local county soldiers can't suppress it, so the imperial court sent the Beijing army to suppress the rebellion!" ”

"Do you want to do this?"

Huang Zhang really didn't know that such a big thing had happened in Su Guo recently, his main energy now is on Wucheng and Xiaocangshan in Tianfu County, and when it comes to intelligence, it is mainly in this area, and he doesn't know anything about the news outside Tianfu County, but he didn't expect that there would be such a thing as a rebellion.

"But Your Highness doesn't have to worry, no matter how much that group of peasants rebels, it's useless, as long as the Beijing army is dispatched, it's only a matter of time before they are exterminated!" Chu Liang said.

"Do you know why Wu Shan will refuse to fight the barbarian army?" Huang Zhang asked suddenly.

Chu Liang said that Wu Shanhui is the General Department of Soldiers and Horses in the North, since this is the case, then Wu Shanhui's ability should be there, but judging from his performance, it is obviously a little unworthy!

Hearing Huang Zhang's inquiry, Chu Liang sighed: "Your Highness, this is not to blame General Wu, after the Beijing army suppressed the bandits, the imperial court received the news of the invasion of the barbarian army, but there was no way to dispatch a large number of troops for a period of time, so he mobilized the county soldiers of the three counties around the capital, plus our Northwest Army, the Northern Army, the city guards around the city, the Beijing Xiao Cavalry Battalion, etc., to gather enough 120,000 troops, General Wu's current leadership of the barbarian army is a hodgepodge, he is not allowed the strength of the barbarian army, so he is afraid to move forward!" ”

As soon as Chu Liang said this, Huang Zhang understood, no wonder Wu Shan would refuse to fight with the barbarian army, it turned out that there was still this relationship.

"He wants to rely on the geographical location of the Violent Tiger Xiongguan to resist the barbarians!"

Chu Liang nodded.

This is the importance of intelligence, because the intelligence is inaccurate, so Huang Zhang doesn't know why Wu Shan would have such a rebellious move.

Wu Shanhui's move is understandable, but Huang Zhang does not agree.

Since Chu Liang is aware of the current situation of the Ping Barbarian Army, the other generals naturally also know that it is precisely because of the complex composition of the Ping Barbarian Army that they are unwilling to strengthen their faith in fighting the barbarian army.

This point is the biggest problem of the Wushan Society, for the commander, the first thing to do is to stabilize the army's heart, share the enemy's hatred, and gather morale, but look at the current barbarian army, where it looks like a whole, that is, a plate of scattered sand!

The reason why Wu Shanhui did not dare to fight the barbarian army was because he knew that the combat effectiveness of the Ping Barbarian Army was not good, but the main factor that the combat effectiveness of the Ping Barbarian Army was not good was that Wu Shanhui, the leader of the troops, was not good! Endless loop, hopeless!

"Chu Liang, you are familiar with Wu Shanhui, how long do you think Wu Shan will leave Tianjiabao?"

Hearing Huang Zhang's sudden question, Chu Liang was a little puzzled.

"What do you mean, Your Highness?"

Huang Zhang looked at Chu Liang, he wanted to know if Chu Liang really didn't know, or pretended not to know.

"You really don't understand?" Huang Zhang asked with a sharp look in his eyes.

Chu Liang was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.

"After General Wu entered Tianjiabao, he didn't mention the withdrawal of troops, so where did His Highness know?"

Regardless of whether Chu Liang really didn't know or pretended not to know, what Huang Zhang could affirm was that Chu Liang and Wu Shan would not be all the way.

If it were all the way, he wouldn't have revealed so much information to himself.

He patted Chu Liang on the shoulder, "When you get to Longhu Village, I'll introduce you to a few colleagues!" ”
