One hundred and fifty-three, send troops
Zhuge Xu Feng saw that Cheng Quartet was still so calm, very helpless, and thought about it, as long as Lu Yi didn't lose his words, then this matter would definitely succeed, but the worry in his heart could not be put down.
Suddenly, a fellow ran in and shouted, "Letter, letter!"
Qing Shu immediately ran out of the house and asked loudly, "What letter is here?"
The guy raised the letter in his hand and said, "The little boss has sent a letter!"
Qing Xuan hurriedly ran downstairs, took the letter and read it, and Zhuge Xu Feng also hurried over.
Cheng Sifang saw the two of them looking at each other, and the anxiety on his face gradually turned into joy, and he knew that Lu Yi had succeeded, and asked with a smile: "What? What did Xiao Yi's letter say?"
Zhuge Xu Feng clapped his hands and said, "Oh! We really underestimate Xiao Yi!"
Cheng Quartet said: "It's strange that you can't do ten out of ten things." ”
Zhuge Xu Feng said: "No, boss, you come and see it yourself." ”
As he spoke, he handed the letter to Cheng Sifang.
Cheng Sifang was stunned, took the letter and read it, only to see the first two lines of the letter read: "Master, I have negotiated with King Mulu, and let King Mulu raise troops on July 18 to attack the rear of King Ice Wolf, please Master inform King Nan and raise troops to respond." ”
After reading it, Cheng Sifang laughed and said: "It's good, it's so good! It's so good! Xiao Yi can always surprise me!"
Zhuge Xu Feng looked excited, and said: "Originally, I went to promote the alliance, but it made Xiao Yi say one step closer and directly started the army!"
Cheng Sifang looked down again: "Xiao Feng and I are temporarily staying at the Mulu King, and I also ask the master to send a thousand silver over quickly, I want to hurry up to purchase goods now, otherwise once the war starts and prices skyrocket, I will miss the opportunity." ”
The rest is some greetings, Cheng Quartet read it, thought for a while, and said: "Fourth brother, reply a letter to Xiao Yi, just say don't make war money, although you can make a lot of money, it will ruin the reputation of the caravan, it is only a short-term gain, but it will affect the long-term development of the caravan." ”
Zhuge Xu Feng nodded and replied.
Cheng Sifang said again: "Qingxuan, you are in charge of the management of the caravan, and I will go to see the king of the south." ”
Qing Xuan nodded in response, and Cheng Quartet changed into a formal suit to see Meng Shu.
Meng was very anxious when he saw that Cheng Sifang did not go in person, but Cheng Sifang was very kind to Nanzhong, although he was anxious, he was not easy to ask, so he could only pin his hopes on his trust in Cheng Sifang.
As soon as he heard that Cheng Quartet was coming to see him, Meng Huo immediately shouted: "Hurry up and invite Boss Cheng in!"
When he was young, Cheng Quartet came in and saluted Meng Shu: "Cheng Quartet to meet the king." ”
Meng Shu hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Boss Cheng, you are finally here! How is the matter?
Cheng Sifang saw Meng Huo's anxious appearance, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the king of Mulu has already agreed to form an alliance with the king." ”
Meng was overjoyed, clapped his hands and smiled: "Great!"
Cheng Sifang said: "And we have discussed with the king of Mulu, the king of Mulu will raise troops on July 18 to attack the rear of the king of the ice wolf, there are still ten days before the 18th of July, and the king is also requested to immediately send troops to attack the king of the ice wolf head-on, only confront, attract the main force of the king of the ice wolf, and wait until the 18th of July, the king of Mulu can hit him by surprise, so that the form of Nanzhong is established, and the king can unify Nanzhong." ”
When Meng Shu heard this, he was taken aback: "Boss Cheng, you not only promoted the alliance, but also persuaded the Mulu King to send troops!
Cheng Sifang smiled and said, "It's not me who is amazing, it's the boss of our caravan, Lu Yi." ”
Only then did Meng Shu know that he had underestimated Lu Yi, and sighed: "Sure enough, people can't look good, and people's talents can't be measured by age." ”
Cheng Quartet said: "The king, please prepare early, start your troops quickly, and win a battle." ”
Meng Shu clapped his hands and said, "Okay!"
Looking out of the cave: "Someone!"
A soldier ran in, and Meng Yu said: "Send an order to my brother Meng You, and ask him to gather the soldiers and horses of the Marshal of the Three Caves to join forces with me and attack the Ice Wolf King head-on!"
Cheng Quartet arched his hand: "The king is clear." ”
So, Meng got 50,000 troops, the marshal of the three caves each received 10,000, and he received 20,000 himself, with King Duosi as the staff officer, vultures as the vanguard, and the busy tooth chief as the team, to defeat the ice wolf king.
In the team, Marshal Sandong was worried in his heart, and discussed in private, I don't know why Meng Shu trusted Cheng Sifang so much, Cheng Sifang said that King Mulu would raise troops, Meng Shu actually believed it, if King Mulu did not raise troops by then, what should I do?
If King Mulu raised an army to attack his rear, then what would he do?
All in all, Marshal Sandong felt that Meng Huo was too gullible to the Han Chinese.
The territory of the ice wolf king is east of Nanzhong, bordering Jianning City, I heard that Meng got an army to attack, so he personally led an army of 70,000, the two armies met seventy miles north of Kunming Lake, Meng got to see the enemy army without fighting, and built a fortress to wait for the army of the king of Mulu.
The Ice Wolf King challenged every day and scolded, but Meng Shu couldn't hold on.
After a few days, the Golden Ring Sanjie was very angry and said, "King, the Ice Wolf King is challenging outside, let me go out and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"
Meng Shu said: "Don't be impatient, wait until July 18, it's not too late to fight." ”
Jinhuan San concluded: "July 18, July 18, why do you trust the Han people so much?"
Meng said: "Boss Cheng is resourceful and has never failed me, where is there anything wrong with me believing him?"
Jin Huan San knotted and said: "Anyway, I don't believe it, I think the king is alienated from his own people!"
Meng Shu was furious and took the case: "What nonsense are you talking about? Han people, Nanren, in my opinion, as long as they help us, they are all their own people! If the King of Mulu rises up to attack the back of the Ice Wolf King on July 18, then we can easily win this battle, otherwise, how many of our brothers will die in the flames of war? Are you willing to see this result?"
Seeing that Meng was angry, the depression in his heart also broke out, and said, "What if the Mulu King raises troops and fights us instead of the Ice Wolf King?"
Meng Shu was categorical: "Impossible! You step down! Everything will wait until July 18!"
The golden ring was helpless and walked out angrily.
As time passed day by day, Meng Yu knew that King Mulu would do what he said, and he also trusted Cheng Quartet very much, without the slightest doubt, just waiting for the day when King Mulu raised his army.
Finally on July 18th, the Ice Wolf King personally led a team of soldiers and horses to Meng Huo's front of the battle to challenge, Meng Huo still did not come out, the Ice Wolf King saw that Meng Huo still did not fight, thought that Meng Huo was timid, laughed, and scolded Meng Huo, Meng Huo was indignant, and wanted to rush out immediately to fight with the Ice Wolf King.
