Changan.

After Pu Hongxue, Pu Xiong succeeded the king of Qin and ruled Guanzhong. However, for Puxiong, who has always led troops to fight, but is not good at governance, and does not have enough prestige in various tribes, many careerists have hidden their hearts of disobedience and wait for opportunities, among which Puxiong is the most feared is Yao Xiang, the leader of the Qiang people and the general.

On this day, Pu Xiong summoned Yao Xiang to Weiyang Palace.

"General, please be seated."

"King Xie."

Pu Xiong and Yao Xiang sat opposite each other.

As soon as he sat down, Pu Xiong said: "General, the widow has just succeeded to the throne, and the Wei side is already ready to move. Not long ago, the first king, Ran Min also sent a messenger to come over to condole. It seems to be courtesy, but in fact, it contains evil intentions! ”

Yao Xiang's heart sank slightly, but his face was silent. New Bayi m.x81zw

"General, I heard that Ran Min's envoy also gave you an edict, and there is also a letter from Ran Min, right?"

"Your ......, Your Majesty Yes. "So far, Yao Xiang can't admit it if he doesn't want to. I thought this thing was done very secretly, but I didn't expect that not long after, Puxiong asked about it!

It seems that Pu Xiong has planted a lot of eyeliner around him.

Pu Xiong saw Yao Xiang's sudden change of color, but he behaved very plainly: "General, don't misunderstand. Ran Min is cunning and cunning, he is a traitor in the world, this is his plan to sow discord, and he wants to provoke the relationship between the monarch and the minister between you and me, so please don't take it to heart. ”

Yao Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "King, in fact, if you want to read Ran Min's edict and handwritten letter to the minister, the minister can let people go to the mansion to get it." ”

Pu Xiong waved his hand and said, "No need. General, the widow trusts you completely. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"General, the first king has recently been mourned, the widow has just succeeded to the throne, the hearts of the people in the court are fluctuating, and the situation is unstable. The widow heard that the Wei army stationed in Tongguan has made a big move recently, and according to the report of the spies planted by the widow in Hedong, a lot of grain and baggage are being transported from the Central Plains in a steady stream, and the Wei State seems to have the potential to conquer our Great Qin in the west. ”

"Please rest assured, the King. If the Wei army dares to come, the ministers will definitely tell them to come and not return! ”

"Haha. The general's courage is commendable! Pu Xiong bowed his head slightly, "Don't hide it from the general, the widow has just succeeded to the throne, his seniority in the court is still shallow, his prestige is insufficient, and there are many people in the government and the opposition who are not convinced." Now that my Qin State has been completely occupied in Guanzhong, and thanks to Ran Min's order to kill Hu, it has gained a large number of people. The widow wants to destroy a country and establish his prestige with meritorious service! ”

"I don't know which country the king wants to destroy?"

"My Great Qin is close to the four kingdoms of Wei, Jin, Liang and Qiuchi. The Wei and Jin kingdoms are strong, with many soldiers and generals, and it is not easy to conquer, so the first choice is the Qiu Chi State and the Liang State! Although Qiuchi only has two counties of Wudu and Yinping, the land of projectiles, and a small country, the mountains and rivers are dangerous, and the dense forests are everywhere, so it is not suitable for a large army to conquer, so the widow wants to conquer Xiliang, occupy Longyou, and even unite the Liuyi of Xiliang to expel the Zhang clan of Xiliang! ”

"The king is clear."

"General, I can't hide it, the widow wants you to personally take command of the expedition to the west, take Longyou for my Great Qin, and enter Hezhou and Liangzhou."

When Yao Xiang heard this, he looked embarrassed: "King, I'm afraid this is not an easy thing. Xiliang is not a weak country and a small country, the territory is thousands of miles from north to south, with hundreds of thousands of armor and a population of millions, and Xiliang is rich in war horses, and there are many elite soldiers and horses. ”

"I'm afraid the general overestimates Xiliang." Pu Xiong smiled faintly and said, "Xiliang has a lot of elite soldiers and horses, isn't it true that I don't have many elite soldiers in Daqin?" The rebellion of the Hu people in the Central Plains has already affected Xiliang, although Zhang Jun has taken certain measures, but Xiliang has been a situation where Hu and Han have lived together since ancient times, Zhang Jun did not dare to follow Ran Min's order to kill Hu, so until now, the power of Xiliang's begging department, bald department and Lu Shuihu is still not to be underestimated. ”

"As long as the general leads the troops to Longyou, he will definitely be able to get the help of Xiliang Liuyi."

Yao Xiang hesitated: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses the king can give me?" ”

"Eighty thousand. 30,000 cavalry, 50,000 foot soldiers, including 40,000 cavalry of your Qiang tribe, 30,000 new troops, and Pu Jing will also lead 10,000 elite cavalry of my Di people to accompany you as a deputy general. ”

80,000 horsemen?

Yao Xiang thought about it in his heart, with these 80,000 horses and the cooperation of the local Hu tribe in Xiliang, he was confident that he could defeat Longyou.

When he returned to his mansion, Yao Xiang's heart was still very unsure, so he found Yao Chang, Sima Yinchi, Changshi Wang Liang, Xue Zan, and Quan Yi's confidant ministers to discuss things.

Yao Xiang told Pu Xiong that he had ordered him to lead the army to Xiliang, and Wang Liang, who had always been resourceful, thought for a few moments and said: "Lord, Pu Xiong's move is very likely to harbor evil intentions. ”

"How so?"

"As soon as Puxiong succeeded to the throne, he wanted to win the hearts and minds of the people and consolidate his prestige through a great victory in a foreign war, which is reasonable. But Pu Xiong can obviously drive the expedition in person, or send famous generals such as Pu Jing, Pu An, and Pu Hou to fight, why did he choose to let the lord lead the army to the battle? Isn't this a great credit to the lord? ”

Hearing this, Yao Xiang was also depressed: "Yes." I also feel weird! Pu Xiong, like his dead ghost daddy Pu Hong, was very jealous of me, but why did he use me so much? ”

Wang Liang smiled bitterly and said, "Lord, in fact, it's not that Puxiong wants to reuse you. I want to use this to consume the vitality of our Qiang people again! Every time we go on an expedition, it is our Qiang people who are the main force, and they follow behind the ass to take advantage! Our Qiang people are one less dead, and at that time, I am afraid that the Qiang people will no longer pose any threat to them! Lord, do you think Pu Xiong's approach is insidious enough? ”

"It's so insidious!"

Yao Xiang said angrily: "This Pu Xiong is as treacherous and cunning as his father Pu Hong!" On the surface, he reuses me, but in fact, he wants to consume the vitality of my Qiang people, so that our Qiang people can use their lives to fight his Pu family! And no matter whether we win or lose, it is our Qiang people who suffer in the end, but it is the Di people who get the benefits! ”

"Now that you know that Pu Xiong harbors evil intentions, I don't know what the lord plans to do?"

Yao Xiang was really annoyed, originally in his impression, Pu Xiong was a reckless man who only knew how to lead troops to fight, and had no city or ink on his chest. I didn't expect this product to be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and it was pretending to be quite similar.

Hearing this, Yao Xiang said with a gloomy face: "We Qiang people can no longer work for the Pu family. At that time, I led my troops to submit to Puhong, which was really a helpless move! Now that Pu Hong is dead, and Pu Xiong, who succeeded him, is not prestigious, he can't convince the public for the time being, so I want to oppose Qin and stand on his own, I don't know what you think? ”

"Fifth brother, I don't think it's appropriate." Yao Chang suddenly stood up and said.

"What's wrong? If you want my Qiang people to work hard for him Puxiong, he dreams! There are not many soldiers of our Qiang people, and after so many tosses, we have already suffered a great loss of vitality, do we have to wait for our Qiang people to completely decline, and finally be annexed by the Di people before we regret it? ”

"Fifth brother, in fact, I just want to say that it is not appropriate at this time. But for the anti-Qin self-reliance thing, I raise my hands in favor! ”

"Yao Chang, tell me what you think."

"That's right. Fifth brother, I think this time you led the army to Xiliang, it is a great time! As long as the fifth brother can take the soldiers and horses out, then the sky will be high and the birds will fly, and the sea will be wide and the fish will jump! Even if he wants to crusade, he doesn't weigh how many catties and taels he has, so he is definitely powerless! "New 81 Computer:/

"This ......"

Looking at Yao Chang's rushing appearance, Yao Xiang was not good at hitting him, but Wang Liang next to him said bluntly: "Young Master Chang, your idea is too naïve. Since Pu Xiong dared to let the lord lead the army to the battle, he would definitely put an end to this hidden danger. Not to mention anything else, the deputy general of the Western Army is Pu Jing, the eldest nephew of Pu Xiong, who rode with 10,000 people in the army, and they are not under the control of the lord. ”

"Moreover, there are only 40,000 Qiang infantry cavalry who followed the lord to fight this time, and there are still tens of thousands of Qiang soldiers in Chang'an and Bashang, these troops are taken as hostages, once the lord rebels, where will these soldiers and the families of the soldiers be placed? Can the soldiers still follow the lord to raise troops against Qin without any scruples? ”

"This ...... Fifth brother, it's me Meng Lang. Yao Chang admitted his mistake.

"It doesn't matter."

Yao Xiang waved his hand and asked Wang Liang again, "Wang Liang, do you have a good plan?" ”

"Lord, my subordinates think that since Pu Xiong is not kind, then we don't have to be too kind to him!" Wang Liang lowered his hand and said: "Among Pu Hong's descendants, there are many people who can fight well, and several of Pu Xiong's eldest nephews, such as Pu Jing, Pu Luo, Pu Huangmei, and Pu Chong, all have their own subordinates, and Pu Xiong does not want to see them. Pu Jian's son Pu Chang is still young, and the lord can contact Pu Jing, Pu Luo, Pu Huangmei and others to replace him and support Pu Chang! ”

"What Wang Liang said is very much in line with me!"

A few days later, Yao Xiang led the Qin army to 80,000 cavalry from Chang'an and marched to Longyou.
