Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 127 Where Are the Reinforcements?

Liang Xiao sweated profusely.The amount of information in Wang Xing's few words is too much, if he is asked to continue, Yan Zhu's old background will probably be exposed.With Yan Zhu's conceited temper, wouldn't they all become thorns in his eyes in the future?

It is better to lose to a gentleman than to a villain.Liang Xiao knew this truth well.He hastily shouted and interrupted Wang Xing. "Who said there were no reinforcements?"

"Are there...reinforcements?" For Wang Xing at this moment, nothing was easy to do, but the word "reinforcement" was the most pleasant to his ears.As soon as he heard that reinforcements were coming, he immediately threw Yan Zhu aside and tightly grabbed Liang Xiao's arm. "Where are the reinforcements?"

"The military situation is tight, how can we just publicize it casually." Liang Xiao supported Wang Xing's arm, half-dragged him into the cabin, and at the same time gave Yan Zhu a wink.Yan Zhu had been exposed by Wang Xing, and was turning into anger from embarrassment. When he heard Liang Xiao's words, he restrained Wang Xing, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.As soon as he saw Liang Xiao winking, he didn't care about his identity, so he quickly pulled Guan Wang Xing into the cabin, and closed the cabin door smoothly.

"My lord, what did he just say?" Before getting down to business, Liang Xiao looked at Yan Zhu blankly, with a bit of embarrassment. "Is it a joke?"

Yan Zhu was also a little dazed, he was only in a hurry just now, and he forgot what Wang Xing said.However, looking at Liang Xiao like this, he didn't seem to understand much?Thinking of this, Yan Zhu couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.Although there is only a river separating them, the languages ​​of Jiangnan and Jiangbei are very different. If Wang Xing spoke Wu County dialect instead of official dialect, Liang Xiao would not be able to understand it.

As a result, Liang Xiao probably didn't understand what Wang Xing said.

Yan Zhu is both happy and suspicious. "It's... Kuaiji's words."

But Wang Xing didn't care about these things, and asked impatiently: "Is there really reinforcements? Where did they come from?"

Liang Xiao lowered his face and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, since you can replace the Fujun to meet Lord Yan, you should be the Fujun's confidant and the pillar of Wu County. Don't you know the truth that soldiers are not tired of deceit. The Kuaiji is in danger, the court is shocked, the emperor sent Lord Yan I came here just to reconcile peace. If you make a slip of the tongue and affect military affairs, how will Lord Yan explain to the emperor?"

As soon as Liang Xiao opened his mouth, he took a big hat off of Wang Xing, scaring Wang Xing so much that he no longer dared to speak casually, pleading guilty again and again.After hearing a few words, Liang Xiao frowned. "Master Yan, I really don't understand what he said, please ask Mr. Yan about the situation in Kuaiji."

At this moment, Wang Xing was speaking Mandarin, but with an obvious Kuaiji accent. Liang Xiao could still understand him if he listened carefully.But in order to prove that he really didn't understand what Wang Xing said just now, he simply pushed the matter to Yan Zhu.Although Yan Zhu didn't fully believe it, he was somewhat relieved, and asked carefully about the situation in Kuaiji.

Wang Xing didn't dare to neglect, and told the situation of Kuaiji.

The war between Minyue and Dongou has a long history and is nothing new.It can even be said that this situation was originally what the Han people wanted to see.

Dongou was originally a part of Minyue. King Yao of Dongou was originally the younger brother of King Wuzhu of Minyue. Xiaohui was granted the title of King of the East China Sea for three years, and his capital was Dongou. He intended to make the Minyue people civil strife.

Because the capital is Dongou, the King of Donghai is also called the King of Dongou.After the founding of the country, conflicts continued between Dongou and Minyue.Whether it was the former Wu State or the current Kuaiji County, they are really provoking and pretending to mediate the conflicts between them. I hope they will fight as hard as possible.Only in this way can the threat of Yueren be minimized.

But now, there is an additional force in the conflict between Dongou and Minyue: the remnants of Wu.

During the rebellion between Wu and Chu, Wu Wang Liu Bi invited Minyue and Dongou to send troops to help.Minyue refused, Dongou responded.As a result, King Wu was defeated in March. Dongou regretted Mo Die, and instead responded to the call of the Han court, killed Liu Bi, and gave Liu Bi's head to the Han court, so that he could be exonerated.However, Liu Ju, the prince of Liu Bi, fled to Minyue, hated Dongou deeply, and kept instigating Minyue to attack Dongou.

If only this is the case, there will be no big waves.Liu Ju is not a capable person, and what he can do is limited.But the situation has changed since last year. Minyue's strength suddenly became stronger, and Dongou was defeated steadily, so he had to ask for help from Kuaiji County.The prefect of Kuaiji County sent troops to mediate, but Minyue not only refused to let it go, but took the opportunity to lead the war to Kuaiji.

This year the situation is even worse. Since July, Minyue has launched an attack, breaking into the territory of Kuaiji, looting several counties south of Zhejiang, not only looting the freshly harvested autumn grain, but also taking away a lot of weapons armor.As a result, Minyue's strength has greatly increased, and the offensive has become more ferocious.Seeing that Kuaiji County couldn't hide it, he had no choice but to signal Dongou King to ask the court for help.

Before listening to Wang Xing's narration, Liang Xiao roughly guessed the result.The sudden surge in Minyue's strength is most likely related to the release of Huan Yuan and other former Wu ministries.These people are masters who have experienced real battles, and they are naturally easy to deal with opponents like Kuaiji County and Dongou.

"Yan Jun, do you really have reinforcements?" Wang Xing stared at Yan Zhu, his eyes full of longing.The strikers of Minyue have already arrived near Wu County. If they cannot be stopped and Wu County is breached, the industries of these rich families will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

Yan Zhu was very embarrassed, he didn't know how to face Wang Xing's request.He had no reinforcements at all.

Yan Zhu glanced at Liang Xiao begging for help.Liang Xiao pretended not to see it.Firstly, his responsibility is to protect Yan Zhu's safety, and he is unwilling to take on additional responsibilities.Secondly, he knew very well that what he was going to face was probably his master Huan Yuan.When it comes to archery, he still has a little bit of confidence, but when it comes to using soldiers, he is a real novice, and he is not qualified to compete with Huan Yuan at all.

Seeing that Liang Xiao didn't respond, and didn't intend to take the initiative to rescue him, Yan Zhu had no choice but to cover up vaguely: "Soldiers, an ominous weapon, how can you move lightly. There will definitely be reinforcements, but I must rush to the front line first." , to personally experience the battlefield, understand the actual situation before making any calculations. Don't worry, the emperor is very concerned about the situation in Kuaiji when he first ascended the throne, and he will not sit back and watch the people suffer."

Wang Xing was doubtful, but he couldn't ask further questions.

It was so easy to fool Wang Xing, but it was not easy for Yan Zhu.Kuaiji's battle exceeded his expectations.In the original plan, he was going to call Kuaiji County soldiers to suppress the rebellion. Now Kuaiji has been attacked by Minyue, and the loss is not small.With only the remnant soldiers in Kuaiji, can he successfully complete the task?
……

On a small boat by the river, Huan Yuan was sitting cross-legged, wearing a bamboo hat and holding a fishing pole.

The cool river wind blew across his face and his newly grown beard, but could not blow his resolute eyes.

In the distance, a small boat came slowly, leaning against Huan Yuan's boat, Zhong Liqi jumped into the boat, stood behind Huan Yuan, with his hands behind his back, and sighed softly.Huan Yuan remained motionless, not even moving the fishing rod in his hand.

"Ah Xiao?"

"Yes." Zhong Liqi sighed again. "He is now Weiyang Lang, and his shooting range has reached a hundred paces. He once competed with Li Guang's son Li Jiao in Chang'an. They both scored six out of twelve, and Liang Xiao narrowly won with one swan and one bow."

"Really?" Huan Yuan shook his hand, the fishing rod trembled, the water surface turned into a splash, and a palm-sized fish jumped up and dived into the water again.Huan Yuan was stunned for a moment, regret flashed in his eyes. "It's a pity. Besides, is there any news? Is there any move by Jiang Du to transfer troops?"

"No." Zhong Liqi said with a smile: "General, you may have guessed that Yan Zhu is just a messenger, here to mediate."

Huan Yuan snorted: "Notify the prince, ready to accept mediation."

Zhong Liqi was silent for a moment: "General, I'm afraid the crown prince will not agree."
