Chapter 528 A Hot Gift

Back at the inn, Zhang Shuo immediately wrote a memorial to Li Xian, explaining what had happened.

But after writing the letter, I still feel uneasy.

His intuition told him that when this letter returned to the capital, Li Xian would be furious. Of course, even if Li Xian was angry now, he could only stare. It would take at least a month or two to dispatch troops.At that time, Wang Huazhan had also fought, and the city he wanted had been captured.The imperial court counterattacked again, and it became an indissoluble situation again.

But the bigger the territory Wang Hua seized, the more intolerable the court was.In the end, they will inevitably turn their eyes into enemies again.Under the firefight, the strength on both sides suffered serious damage again.At the same time, it also pushed Wang Hua to a road of no return.

At that time, even if Wang Hua himself does not rebel, his subordinates will not let him return to the embrace of the court.Therefore, Wang Hua cannot be allowed to expand wantonly to the point where it can truly compete with the imperial court.

Thinking of this, he added to the letter again, explaining the importance of making a concession to Wang Hua.

Although Li Xian's regress this time is also very remarkable, but as Zhu Dian said, it feels a little vain no matter what.The matter of Li Bao'er has dragged on for several years, I heard that Webster intends to marry her to Wu Yanxiu, if it is not for Wang Hua's restraint, it is possible to talk about marrying her now.

If the imperial court takes a breath, will there be any changes?Will materials from Oceania be shipped to Eight States unscrupulously?Maybe only one false name will really fall on Wang Hua's head, the head of Lingzhou, but what is the use of Wang Hua's false name now?

After Zhu Dian's analysis, Zhang Shuo also came to his senses.

Don't think that Li Xian is a fool, the woman behind him doesn't care about anything.

Hope that woman understands the truth.

In fact, Zhang said that he hated Tang Xiujing, but Old Tang was also helpless. Among the candidates, he was the only one who could handle this matter.This errand is not only to persuade Wang Hua, but also to persuade the court.Everyone has to take a step back, otherwise the situation will get worse and worse.

This candidate must first have qualifications, and if he is not qualified, he will not speak up.Second, there is this interpersonal relationship. Although Zhang said that he has a good relationship with Wang Hua, it is not yet in Li Xian's heart. Zhang Jiazhen, Song Jing, Wei Yuanzhong and others are determined to be Wang Hua's best friends in Li Xian's heart.Relatively speaking, Li Xian said to Zhang that he should have more trust.

So Zhang Shuo became a unique candidate.

Now Zhang said that it was old Tang's plan, so he was persuading Li Xian. After thinking about it, he tore up the memorial and made some revisions. He couldn't copy all Zhu Dian's words from the original, and there was no way to persuade him.He was still dissatisfied after the revision, and he revised it again and again, thanks to his writing style. In the Tang Dynasty, there were not many people who could surpass him in essay writing. In the end, he wrote the memorial in a very twists and turns, which was sent to the capital on a fast horse. .

But now to make the court bow its head, Wang Hua must also bow its head.

Zhang said that he was speechless when he thought of Zhu Dian's toughness. Obviously, he couldn't find Wang Hua. Maybe he was staying in that mountain corner and was counting Tubo people or Turkic people.

How to do?
With some headaches, he rubbed his temples with his hands, and walked out irritatedly.

When you come to the street, there are many people on the street, people come and go, but it is far less prosperous than Luoyang.

But as the largest city in eight states, it is also full of vitality.

He also saw all kinds of barbarians selling items along the street, among them were many bearded women who danced gracefully from time to time, attracting a group of people to watch.

Zhang said that he suddenly had an idea, and immediately bought some gifts, and then went straight to Wang Hua's residence with his servants.

Wang Hua was not at home, even Li Xuejun went out with Wang Hua, leaving only Li Chiying and his servants staying in the mansion in Lingzhou.

Zhang said that he handed over the greeting card. He was an important official in the court and a Qing official. Li Chiying did not dare to neglect, so he ordered his servants to open the middle door and welcome him in.

Zhang said that he gave a salute and said, "I see the little princess."

"Zhang Shilang, don't dare, please get up quickly," Li Chiyingxu gave a support.

Zhang Shuo sat down carefully, and his servants brewed a cup of tea, Zhang Shuo said: "Young princess, I am here to ask for something."

"Zhang Shilang, please tell me."

Zhang said he didn't speak, but he raised his head and took a look at Li Chiying.I don't hear much about her, only that she escaped from Chang'an and went to Wang Hua.For this matter, Li Xian reprimanded Li Dan, but Li Dan said that I had already arrested her, and I didn't know about her escape, so she refused.

Li Xian had no choice but to end the matter like this.

But what happened to Li Chiying after he arrived in Lingzhou, those who knew did not dare to talk about it, and those who did not know did not dare to ask.

Zhang said that he looked at Li Chiying and looked at her complexion. If life is good, she still has the right to speak, but if life is not good, she has no right to speak.Zhang said that there is no need to bother Li Chiying.

It turned out that Zhang Shuo had seen the little girl once before. It was the year before last, when Wang Hua was about to discuss marriage with Princess Anle, and the little girl looked very bad.

After more than a year, looking at Li Chiying again, his face is not as fair as before, probably because he often runs outdoors and let the wind blow.But this is a good thing, it proves that Li Chiying is free in person, and his mood is happier than before, otherwise he would not be able to go out often.

He has also grown up a little, and he is very quiet and dignified where he sits.Although still very thin, it is better than the small bamboo pole before, and there is some vitality on the face, not the dead gray like before.

Of course, Zhang said that it was impossible to stare at Li Chiying's face.

After reading it, I knew what to do, and then said: "Young princess, this matter is a bit troublesome, do you want Wang Shilang to seek justice? Or do you want Wang Shilang to plot against you?"

Li Chiying is not the previous Li Chiying. The current situation makes her very sleepy, but it doesn't mean that she doesn't understand. She asked instead: "What's the difference? Erlang may not listen to what I say, just listen to my persuasion, or listen to yours." Persuasion, how can you get this justice back for Erlang?"

The question was a bit sharp, not to mention Queen Wei, the mastermind of Wang Hua's escape, or some ministers instigated in the middle, Wang Hua couldn't let the court vent their anger on them.Of course, she also didn't want Wang Hua to rebel.In fact, she was even more conflicted than Zhang said.

Zhang said that he expressed his worries, and then said cryptically: "If you commit adultery and kill yourself, one day there will be a clear and clear government. Before that, the little princess, you can't let the ambitions of the soldiers of the blood camp grow. The minister is the Tang Dynasty. Sheji, for the people of the world, I implore you."

After finishing speaking, he fell down and bowed down.

Li Chiying had no choice but to help him up, and said: "Zhang Shilang, Erlang led the army to go out, I will wait for him to come back and try my best to enlighten him."

Zhang said that he was talking with Li Chiying, and Zhu Dian also got the news.

In fact, Zhang said that he was really worried. He ignored Li Chiying's status in the hearts of the soldiers of the blood camp, especially in the eyes of the old soldiers of the blood camp. They really regarded Li Chiying as the mistress.Who is Li Gu'er?It is possible that when Li Gu'er came to Bazhou now, many soldiers greeted him with cold faces.

But Zhu Dian didn't stop it. Zhang said that the faint king and the demon queen were not easy to persuade.Xueying also has its own plans, 1000 million food is obviously too much, but don't hesitate to get 400 million food.A thousand coins is obviously impossible, but donating to Li Baoer is not counted, but the more than 200 million coins that were given to Webster have to be spit out, and the peace money donated to Li Xian last year has not had any effect, so they have to be spit back.It won't work if one child is missing.

1000 million bolts of cloth are a little over, but at least 200 million and 300 million bolts of cotton cloth are needed.So is oil.Such a large state capital is obviously impossible, but don't refrain from adding another eight or nine state capitals to increase the defense thickness of the eight states.

Negotiations have to be negotiated, but the lip service on the judging table is based on the strength of the back.

Now is not the time to negotiate, even if it is discussed, once the two armies are defeated, the court will not tear up the face.But the triumphant songs of the two parties can increase the cost of negotiations.

But Zhang said that this person is not bad. Thinking of this, Zhu Tong smiled slyly and said: "I know, but Zhang Shilang came from Luoyang, and he is half of the little princess's family. He went to visit the little princess. You must not disturb."

Half of my mother's family?Zhu Tong's subordinates heard one by one inexplicable, half of the little princess's family came from Luoyang, and they don't know how many businessmen come from Luoyang every day, so the little princess's family will go to sea.

Zhang said that he was fighting Zhu Dian's wits here, and Mo Hegan was also fighting Guo Yuanzhen on the other side.

For the eight states, this battle has suffered huge losses, but the gains are also not small.The war horses alone captured one hundred thousand horses and ran up.In addition, countless supplies were obtained from Linzhou City and Xiazhou City, as well as Chang Yuankai and Zong Chuke camps, such as siege equipment, tents, grain, grass, wound medicine and so on.There is another harvest that is equally huge, defeating more than 30 people, capturing and killing soldiers with armor and weapons.

The value of this outfit is also not thin, it is the simplest leather armor or chain mail, plus the related outfits, and the weapons in hand, no matter how rough they are, it takes twenty or thirty coins to get them together.If it is like a heavy armored soldier, or an elite unit of bright armor, or a Modao camp, the value of the relevant configuration will exceed a hundred dollars.For example, the armor and weapons on Chang Yuankai's body are more sophisticated, and even a thousand coins can't afford them.

These more than 30 sets of weapons and armor are the biggest harvest of the blood camp.

But the actual situation cannot be calculated in this way. There are many weapons and armor, such as leather armor and chain mail, and the bows and arrows of the Tubo people.This time, the value dropped several times.There are also some weapons and armor, which can be seen, but the regular army of the blood battalion has armor and weapons of the regular army, and these weapons and armor are not suitable.It's a pity to return to the furnace, and it doesn't take so much to configure the militia.

Or put it in the warehouse for future backup, but the quantity is too large, and the cost of maintenance is also astonishing.

So he gave Guo Yuanzhen a generous gift, and he had promised to give Guo Yuanzhen some gifts in return.

However, the agreement between the two can only be carried out secretly, and the delivery location will be placed in a mountain nest in Qilian Mountain.The quantity was astonishing, but Mo Heqian put forward a condition, asking Guo Yuanzhen to come and inspect the goods in person.

Guo Yuanzhen knew that it was possible that the Blood Camp was making some small calculations, but the list made his eyes turn green: 15 war horses, [-] Tubo straight knives, [-] Mo knives, [-] fine bows made in Tang Dynasty, one [-] refined crossbows made in the Tang Dynasty, with [-] arrows and crossbows, [-] large spears made in the Tang Dynasty, some spears and knives, [-] sets of Tubo armors, [-] sets of Tang Dynasty armor, and [-] sets of them Bright armor.Several tent siege equipment.

I haven't actually seen it, but just looking at the list makes people drool.

After reading the list, Guo Yuanzhen choked on his saliva, and said, "His aunt's, so many things, I am willing to rebel against you."

Under the temptation, knowing that the blood camp called him to go in person, it might be a petty idea, so he went excitedly.

When they met, they were both acquaintances. Mo Heqian pointed to the mountains of supplies in front of him and the horses that could not be seen at a glance, and asked, "Director Guo, in order to repay the mercy of Manager Guo, these are sent by the battalion supervisor. For Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, very satisfied," Guo Yuanzhen had to nod to admit that even if he knew it might not be a good thing, he was still not satisfied. Could it be that he asked Wang Hua to hand over all the spoils he had seized?
"Boss, come here." Mo Heqian pulled Guo Yuanzhen to a hillside. There was no one around, only wild flowers blooming all over the hillside, mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers, sending it into his nose from time to time.

Mo Heqian said again: "Chief Manager, have you thought about one thing? Although you are wise in doing this and avoided the tragedy of us Tang Dynasty people killing each other, this matter still cannot be concealed from some caring people."

When Guo Yuanzhen heard him say something about us people from the Tang Dynasty, he almost became amused.But when he heard what Mo Hegan said later, his face immediately darkened.

Although he said that Hou Dehai betrayed the news to Wang Hua and killed Hou Dehai.Now Wang Hua Bazhou has once again separated the imperial court from the Western Regions.The imperial court may be helpless to him, but the emperor may not understand the joints, but it is impossible for the woman in the palace not to understand.

If you can't help him, you will inevitably make things difficult for him in all aspects of logistics supply in the future.

He doesn't have Wang Hua's golden finger, so his life in the Western Regions will be very difficult in the next few years.Or bow down to Wang Hua for relief?

Mo He giggled, and continued: "Of course, our battalion governor will remember Mr. Guo. But there is still a chance to make the court happy. This is also the second big gift our battalion governor gave you."

"what gift?"

Mo Hegan took out a map from his pocket, pointed to the map and said, "Dafeichuan."

"Dafeichuan?" Guo Yuanzhen shot a flash of light in his eyes.

"Exactly, from Jishi Mountain to Dafeichuan, only Xinuoluo's army is left. Tubo's own situation is not good, and he is busy suppressing the rebellion of Nibala, so he has no time to be distracted. When they react, at least It will take a month until they realize that they cannot draw troops from the local area, and the troops they send are also very limited. As for Xinuoluo's army, you will hear the news of their defeat in a few days. Shishan and Dafeichuan have become a vacuum. This is the time to recover the two places. If the court finds out that you took back Dafeichuan and snatched it from the bloody camp, what will the court think? "

Mo Hegan's words were very tempting, but Guo Yuanzhen was not so easy to seduce, he immediately asked, "Are you going to attack Xinuoluo soon?"

"Not only Xinuoluo, but also silently."

"It's not easy to deal with."

"This is about our blood battalion. Our blood battalion has the guts. I don't know if Chief Guo has the guts to recover an empty space without soldiers?"

Guo Yuanzhen just took him to be talking nonsense, really no soldiers?

Perhaps it is now an empty space, but the Qinghai area is rich in water and grass, and it is an important pastoral area of ​​Tubo, and there are a large number of Tuyuhun people living here, and it is also an important tax area and source of troops for Tubo.The same is true for the area from Jishi Mountain to Shanzhou.Once it is learned that these two places are lost, Tubo will definitely launch a strong counterattack.

Why did the Blood Camp conquer Dafeichuan for the first time and discard it decisively?Also for this reason.

But now is an opportunity, that is, the disastrous defeat of Godayan, and then the disastrous defeat of Kezanre, if Xin Nuoluo let the blood camp break down again, Tubo's vitality will be seriously injured.Even if they counterattack, the strength will not be strong.However, this intensity was not something that Xueying could bear, so Wang Hua dragged himself into the water again.

Of course, Guo Yuanzhen said in the memorial that some people in the court must be very happy when they learned that Wang Hua attacked Jishi Mountain and sent troops to snatch Dafeichuan from Wang Hua.This resentment was also resolved.Once again, he obtained the understanding of some people in the DPRK and made meritorious deeds.It is indeed a generous gift.

But this gift is very hot.

In terms of location, Dafeichuan is superior to the southern part of Jishi, and there is a road from Liangzhou across the Qilian Mountains to Dafeichuan, and there is also a road from Guazhou to Dafeichuan.Geographical conditions can also make you own Dafeichuan.

But once the Tibetans counterattack, Dafeichuan will bear the brunt.Can the troops in my hands really stop the counterattack of Tubo's national troops?
As if guessing what Guo Yuanzhen was thinking, Mo Hegan said again: "Director Guo, you don't have to worry about Tubo's counterattack. At that time, our blood battalion will definitely send troops to cooperate with each other. And our battalion supervisor is not just about taking the accumulated Shi Shan and Da Feichuan stopped in their tracks, and his mind was on the city."

Love some cities?Guo Yuanzhen smiled wryly.But I have to admit that Wang Hua really had such arrogant thoughts in his heart.

He pondered for a while: "I'm not interested in this gift. If I'm allowed to accept it, I have one condition."

"Please say."

"Give me [-] packs of your cement, tens of thousands of catties of explosives, and hundreds of bed-shaped crossbows. By the way, and that new bow, give me three Four thousand, and related crossbows and arrows."

Once Tubo counterattacked, it was obviously impossible to fight in the wilderness, so they had to turn to defensive warfare. They had to build cities and satellite cities, especially the bunkers like Wang Hua. Although Li Wei cracked them, Guo Yuanzhen was also very interested.That kind of long-distance bow and crossbow is also a weapon for defending the city. If it can be deployed in large quantities, it will be even more powerful for defending the city.

Therefore, Guo Yuanzhen made this request.

"Director Guo, did you make a mistake? You are the one who made contributions, not our battalion supervisor."

"Mo Heqian, don't play with me like this. Although your achievements are good, you have to have the ability to eat them. If you give it to me, you don't want it."

"Can it be less? Director Guo, you must know that this weapon has just been developed, and our blood camp does not have a lot of equipment yet."

"It won't do without one."

Mo Hegan deliberately walked back and forth in embarrassment, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, I promise you on behalf of the battalion governor. But Mr. Guo, this time the favor owed to you by our battalion governor is over."

It's not human, Guo Yuanzhen could tell at a glance that Mo Heqian was putting on airs.I felt extremely regretful in my heart, I was fooled by this fox, knowing that I just asked for more.

Xin Nuoluo was busy "harvesting" in the two states of Diemin in the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't know that his old den had been divided up by two foxes in this way.
