Chapter 720
In such a situation, it is difficult to say how long the two guys Meng Ke and Han Chui can withstand it. Although these two people are said to be fierce generals, they are not afraid of death in battle, but the matter of defending the city is based on comprehensive strength, and it has nothing to do with personal bravery.
"This ...... On the side of Lone Ye City, I really don't have any strength to help defend. Xue Tianhan frowned, "But there are two tunnels, and these two tunnels were dug at the beginning." ”
"As long as there is a tunnel, I will arrange for someone to go over and deliver the supplies later. Mengshan said immediately.
Originally, he thought that the Xuanniao Guard would arrange some teleportation arrays in this city, but he didn't expect that the Xuanniao Guard would actually arrange a tunnel, since there is a tunnel, then the transportation of materials will be more convenient and faster.
"It's just that these two tunnels are in Changping County and Luohu County, and these two counties are now within Sun Yuanshou's attack range. Xue Tianhan said helplessly.
"It doesn't matter, it's just these two counties, right? ”
Meng Shan's eyes showed a fierce light, since this Sun Yuanshou wanted to open the door of this Guye City, then he let him die by this door. Even let this guy be slammed alive by this door.
As for what was going on in his uncle's head, Xue Tianhan was not interested at all.
In his opinion, the rebellion of the king of Hejian was just a trivial matter. Her second sister has a branch of the Divine Ghost Sect in her hands, and the children of this branch usually defend the royal city, and at critical moments, they can also be called.
Others may not know, but as a child of the royal family, she knows that this branch in the Divine Ghost Sect has an ancestral realm master.
Even within the imperial courts of the three major dynasties, there is only one Ancestral Realm master in charge, and this Ancestral Realm master can ensure that the current Western Qin is invincible.
Once you shake out the fact that there are masters of the ancestral realm in the territory of Western Qin, I am afraid that the Western Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty, even if they are unwilling, the final result will only be to obediently withdraw from the army.
"Uncle, if it's just to transport soldiers, these two tunnels will naturally not be a problem. But if you want to transport grain and grass inside......"
Xue Tianhan was also a little embarrassed, and he was in charge of the excavation of these two tunnels before. Therefore, there is an absolute right to say what the tunnel digs into.
Because of the large amount of work, my tunnel can only accommodate two people passing side by side. The wheelbarrow is already very reluctant, let alone a horse-drawn carriage.
Feeding 6,000 people with food and grass is really a bit reluctant. And looking at the appearance of Mengshan, it is obvious that he is preparing to increase troops to Guye City, and if he wants to completely defend that place in Guye City, even if it is a forbidden army, it will take 50,000 people.
The daily ration of 50,000 people is not a small number. These 50,000 people...... Relying only on two tunnels to transport supplies is obviously inappropriate.
"I should have sent two array mages to build a teleportation array in Lone Ye City in the future, so ......"
Mengshan is still somewhat sure of his layout. As long as you can complete the teleportation array layout of the other two cities within ten days, then you can be considered a winner.
After that, Guye City only needs to hold on for a while, and when the teleportation array is established, the rebels of the Hejian County King will not have the slightest chance of turning around.
"If it's just a teleportation array, I have someone I can recommend to my uncle. Xue Tianhan said directly, "I don't know if my uncle knows about Lu Xie as a person." ”
"Lu Xie, that Titled Array Sect Lu Xie?" Meng Shan was stunned.
Because of this, the relationship between Lu Xie and Xi Qin is not good. It can even be said that the relationship between Lu Xie and Xi Qin can be said to be very bad. Because Lu Xie's identity is the royal family of the old country of Nanli, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a national enmity and family hatred with Western Qin.
"That's right, it's that Titled Array Sect Lu Xie. ”
"What's the use of a person of this level, even if I know it. And don't forget that Lu Xie was born in the Nanli royal family, although he has long since left the Nanli royal family, but there is still a little bit of incense. ”
Meng Shan shook his head, it was simply unrealistic to expect such a person to help them overcome the problem of the teleportation array, maybe this person was now thinking about how to use the hands of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Western Song Dynasty to directly kill the Western Qin without bloodshed.
"Naturally, this is not the problem I am talking about, and my uncle is too imaginative. Xue Tianhan said with a smile, "Lu Xie is now a Formation Sect-level figure, and we can't invite it." But Lu Xie's disciples are different, the formations that the formation master can arrange, Lu Xie's disciples, can also. ”
Meng Shan frowned, "Do you know where Lu Xie's disciple is?"
To be honest, Mengshan didn't have any hope for Lu Xie's disciples. Even for finding another formation master from the territory of Western Qin who could arrange a teleportation array, he was not hopeful. Formation masters are originally scarce, and the formation masters who can arrange teleportation arrays are even more panda-like existences.
It's already lucky to be able to find one, and now, on the side of Lone Ye City, there is really only one way to let it go.
"I can help you find this, it's just ......" Seeing Meng Shan's look of disbelief, Xue Tianhan had no choice but to say, "It's that I have already communicated with the other party before, and the other party should not be willing to be involved in this matter." ”
Although Qin Yue has not mentioned anything about the rebels, according to his own understanding of this guy. Unless it is a last resort, Qin Yue will not get involved in this matter.
For these dynasties below, Qin Yue should not want to be involved.
It's just that this time, for the sake of his own people's face, Qin Yue should be able to make a move. Of course, it should only be able to make a move, and the most important thing is ...... How many benefits can Mengshan come up with.
You must know that what Meng Shan has in his hands now is one of the three forbidden armies of Western Qin, and the resources in this hand are not counted. Now the Shadow Chamber of Commerce is also a first-class Chamber of Commerce in the entire Western Qin, but it is still a little short of being promoted to the top rank.
Of course, if there is a forbidden army behind it, then things will be completely different. The Shadow Chamber of Commerce would become a super-first-class Chamber of Commerce in Western Qin in an instant.
For this matter, Xue Tianhan is still very supportive. After all, now the Shadow Chamber of Commerce, except for the part of the sea trade, has the shares of Xuanniaowei in it, and it can be said that Xuanniaowei and the opposite side are both prosperous and loss-making.
The living conditions of these Xuanniao Guards in the outer court are much better now, and they have always been tight cultivation resources and rewards before, and they have also increased a lot, so it can be said that all of them are stained with the light of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce.
Meng Shan's face was also stiff, at this time, even if he was sluggish, he knew that this time, he was very likely to be fooled.
Now since Xue Tianhan is trying his best to recommend this person to himself, it means that this person is very likely to be closely related to the interests of Xuanniaowei. But he is not very disgusted by this kind of thing. After all, this time, he is begging others to solve the trouble, and the next time Xuanniaowei asks for his head, he will also talk about the conditions.
"I said three girls, even if you want to negotiate conditions, you have to tell me who the person opposite is. Mengshan coughed and said, "Not necessarily...... I didn't know who the person on the other side was, so I blinded the conditions. When it comes to the conditions, it also depends on the person who puts the dishes. ”
Speaking of which, this man is also an acquaintance of my uncle. Xue Tianhan coughed and said, "The true president of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce. ”
Meng Shan was stunned for a moment, thinking in his heart that the president of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce had seen it himself, it was that Lan Zhanhe. Although it is said that the talent for business is good, the cultivation level is a mess, and it is too much to say that he is stupid, but he is also a middle-aged person.
How could such a person be a formation master who could arrange a teleportation array?
However, he soon realized the meaning of Xue Tianhan's words, and Xue Tianhan said that he was the real president. In other words, that guy Lan Zhanhe is just an imposter who has been pushed to the surface, but this is normal. After all...... Such a big chamber of commerce, if there are no powerful characters, it really can't be managed.
As for why the recommended person would be a member of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce, in fact, Meng Shan had already guessed the answer.
It is no secret that this Shadow Chamber of Commerce is now in cahoots with Xuanniaowei and making a windfall, in the whole of Xianyang.
Even if there are many literati who spurn it, these people just can't eat grapes, saying that grapes are counted. The Shadow Chamber of Commerce's share of the Xuanniao Guard is extremely considerable, because only the Xuanniao Guard has such a right.
Others, the Shadow Chamber wants something they don't have in their hands. Even if they have what the Xuanyao Guard wants in their hands and send it to the Xuanniao Gate, these proud existences may not accept it. So this pair is really a miracle in the history of Western Qin in recent years.
"Three girls, if you want to help yourself for the better, just say it. Don't keep looking for me something that I don't have, and use a chamber of commerce as a shield, you're too ......."
Meng Shan didn't continue to say the rest of the words, after all, she was her niece, and she still had to save a little face for her. However, love is love, and other things still need to be distinguished, such as what Xuanniaowei wants.
"I hope that the Praetorian Army can provide a little help on the transportation route of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce, similar to the presence of an escort service. ”
Xue Tianhan directly prescribed his own conditions, although it was said that Xuanniao Wei could also do this. However, the number of Xuanniao Guards is too small, and if you want to expand the Xuanniao Guard, it will definitely cause a violent backlash from the courtiers. Moreover, the Xuanniao Guard is a minion of the Son of Heaven, and it is really a bit ...... to use this kind of national weapon to escort the caravan
But it's not much better now, because he just replaced the Xuanyao Guard with the forbidden army, and the nature of the guard has not changed.
"Shadow Chamber of Commerce's things, who still dares to grab them?" Meng Shan's face was full of incredulity.
The reason is simple, he knows something about those bandits. These bandits basically belong to the kind of master who eats soft and fears hard, and the fact that this shadow chamber of commerce can do so big shows that the backstage is stronger than iron. Ordinary thieves, as long as they have a little vision, or have no problems with their brains, will not choose to take this kind of large chamber of commerce as their target.
The reason is also very simple, he did not succeed, and he lost a group of people for no reason. If it succeeds, the follow-up retaliation may not be something that their group of ordinary bandits can bear, so most of the time, these bandits are extremely acquainted, and they are directly allowed to let the convoys of these big chambers of commerce go.
"It's not just robbing, it's also destroying it quickly after grabbing. Sometimes it's not about money, it's about destruction. ”
Xue Tianhan was also a little helpless, if it was just a simple robbery, she would not be so helpless. The main reason is that now those families are already forced by the Shadow Chamber of Commerce, and now the people under them are directly aimed at sabotaging the transportation of the entire Shadow Chamber of Commerce.
Because of this matter, Qin Yue had already sent all the shadow guards that his subordinates could send out to protect the caravan's transportation.
However, the effect of this is not very significant, and the only useful thing is probably to increase the number of casualties during the sabotage operation of the opponent by more than ten times. But this is still of no practical use, and the Xuanniao Guard, who is cold in the snow, has also suffered heavy losses under the attack of thieves.
Simply competing for personal strength, even one-on-three, Xuanniao Wei is not afraid. But every time the other party comes, there are hundreds of people, and this number is at a disadvantage, and it is impossible to keep the safety of the goods.
That's why there is a matter of asking for the head of the forbidden army today, and the forbidden army may not be strong individually. But when it comes to dealing with these little thieves, it is professional, and you can "easily cook" these little thieves.
"Three girls, it's not that the uncle is talkative. Meng Shan frowned, "Is it really good that you and the Shadow Chamber of Commerce are so close?"
As a weapon of the country, the Xuanniao Guard should be absolutely fair to control the snow and cold of the Xuanniaowei. In the past, Xue Tianhan did a good job, but since the Shadow Merchant appeared, the "justice" upheld in the Xuanniao Guard began to deviate.
No matter what it is, as long as it involves the Shadow Chamber of Commerce, there is a possibility that there will be a quarrel inside the Xuanniao Guard.
The Xuanniao Guard, who is in charge of the inner court and the court, naturally hates it to the core. After all, these guys in the outer court are all full of oil and water now, but they just don't give them a sip of soup. So they think it's the shadow chamber that makes money without taking them. The people in the outer court know that this is their golden job, so they naturally work hard to maintain it.
There were still a lot of jokes in this, and they were harmless if they weren't enough, so at that time, Mengshan didn't take it to heart.
