Chapter 404: Old Country and Old Friends (Part 2) [Two in One]
"The morale of the military cannot be bought with just two thousand stones of food and grass. I think you should know this principle better than me."
The lord laughed suddenly, not knowing what interesting past events he remembered, "Wuhui, I believe in your vision, but it is impossible for you to believe in the people you like. Don''t you also miss it? You trust your lord, I trust you, but it does not mean that I will trust the lord you trust. This is like, although the county magistrate of Longwu County, he cannot control Yonggu Pass."
As a county magistrate, Chen Tang was indeed a regime to capture both forces.
But it does not include Yonggu Pass. The troops and horses of Yonggu Pass have little to do with Longwu County. They can do it, but they don’t have any military power. Even if the envoy was Chu Yao, the same would be the childhood friend he owed the most in his life. How can public and private be confused?
Even if the power to send troops was given up, Chen Tang could not be mobilized.
There are only more than 20,000 troops left in Yonggu Pass, 70,000 of which are his private subordinates, and 30% of them are from Longwu County. Even if Chen Tang obtained military power, in theory, only 30% of the command could be commanded, and there is a high probability that he could not command. Because 30% of the troops were left by the former county magistrate, he is currently only recognized as the main general who led them to repel the invasion of Shiwu countless times.
The main general did not make it clear.
But this is no different from being spread out.
For Chu Yao''s sake, he could ignore the trouble of Shen Jun. As long as he did not stab the Yonggu Pass in the back, he would keep the pass safely and steadily, and the other party would be his county magistrate. Both sides could not violate the rivers. But if we pass by...
The main general can only lead his troops to fight at home.
For example, plunder ten blacks to fight to support the war.
For him, it’s enough to be able to do ten thousand.
As for where to fight, it doesn’t matter.
I have been staying here for more than ten years because I owe the kindness of my former county magistrate.
Chu Yao''s voice was indifferent, but he had unquestionable firmness: "My lord, naturally, has this ability."
The main general was slightly stunned and asked, "Why?"
He asked again: "Maybe he have the national seal in his hands?"
As soon as this statement came out, Xu Quan''s pupils trembled.
Yu Zhubu was stunned for the first time and immediately understood something.
Chu Yao''s expression was calm.
The main general: "I was careless. I shouldn''t have misunderstood that you were following Zheng Qiao to restore your literary mind. Your temperament has not changed much from that year, but this is also your biggest flaw. In fact, even if you verbally recognize it as Zheng Qiao, I will believe it."
At first he was misled by Yu Zhuan and subconsciously misunderstood that it was Zheng Qiao, but after calming down, he felt something was wrong. He saw Chu Yao''s awesome temper since he was a child.
This man became stubborn and outsiders had no choice but to do anything to him.
For example, except for a few witnesses, the rest of the people didn’t know about Wen Xin’s replacing her with such a big deal.
Including the main general.
It was not until his father gave his last words that he realized that such a thing had happened - of course, Chu Yao''s ability to hide it perfectly was also related to the carelessness of the general. He was curious about why his childhood friend didn''t like to wear Wenxin''s charm, but the latter just said indifferently, "I''m afraid you will feel inferior when you see him." The general was furious and followed him to dispatch the border, and had no energy to think too much.
After thinking about it, there are flaws everywhere.
Chu Yao said: "Because there is no need."
How good is his lord? Why should he hide it?
Recognize Zheng Qiao?
He was afraid that he would have nightmares at night.
The main general frowned: "If you think that a mere national seal can do anything, you can''t help but look down on it too high. The national seal can never prove anything." If a national seal can guard the pass, the Chu Kingdom would not have perished back then.
Which country does not have a national seal?
This thing is the original sin in the hands of the weak. Every man is innocent and the crime of possessing a treasure is the invitation of the King of Hell. The Shiwu will only be more excited; in the hands of the strong, it is just an embellishment on the cake. He thought Chu Yao would not believe in it.
If Chen Tang''s confidence in seizing military power is just a national seal, the main general can only say that he is very sorry.
He might even move troops against Chen Tang first.
The reason is simple too—
The generals didn''t know what Chu Yao planned, but a piece of national seal ran to Yonggu Pass, and outside the pass was the territory of Shiwu. They had been coveting the national seal for more than a year or two. If any news is leaked, why haven’t Shiwu gathered hundreds of thousands of troops overnight? With the most troops, the fastest speed, and the smallest price, the national seal was taken away before Zheng Qiao and others reacted.
In order to avoid the troubles caused by the fall of the National Seal in Shiwu, the general can only take the initiative to kill the danger in the bud.
The main general suppressed his emotions and tried to communicate peacefully with his former childhood friend: "You can go anywhere, but you shouldn''t come to Longwu County. Is this national seal more meaningful? Or is it more likely to send a big gift to Shiwu..."
“Who can bear the consequences?”
"Is it you? Or your lord, Shen Jun?"
"Are you a commoner in Longwu County?"
Faced with the questioning of the general calmly with a little murderous intent, Chu Yao just said, "As long as the lord is there, there will be no problem with the national barrier. There will be no problem with the national barrier. Yongguguan has 20,000 to 30,000 troops stationed in Yongguguan, and he will be safe and worry-free. The lord wants to stay in the increasingly abundant Heyin to plan for the future. However, the real lord Zheng Qiao has dereliction of duty. She can only act as the emperor, that''s all."
"Whether the national seal can do it depends on whoever does it."
Main General: “…”
He did not continue to refute anything.
Just frowned and thoughtful, his eyes swept over Xu Quan and the others. Recalling the changes in their expressions just now, he asked Chu Yao in a casual tone like an old friend chatting, "Is there any need?"
Xu Quan and the other two were puzzled: "???"
Why do the topics switch so quickly? ? ?
Chu Yao''s face turned slightly blue and said, "No need."
The main general seemed to not believe in Chu Yao very much, and glanced at Xu Quan and the others again: "Wuhui is not worried about the troubles?"
The two of them were confused, but Chu Yao understood that his ex-boyfriend was asking him if he needed to kill someone to silence him.
After all, judging from the reactions of Xu Quan and the other two, they didn''t know much about the Guoxi incident and were worried that the two would disclose the secrets.
And dead people are the best way to keep their mouths tight.
Just turn around and say that it was killed by the bandits.
Chu Yao knew his methods very well.
only-
unnecessary!
Chu Yao: "You are the biggest ''brain''!"
He knew about his ex-children from more than ten years ago. In the years, he was unable to see how many changes the other party had changed, and it was difficult to guarantee that the other party would do something "crazy".
The National Seal is a double-edged sword for Yonggu Pass.
And the general distrusts Shen Tang.
This sword is harmful to him but not beneficial.
After all, it is indeed difficult for a new county magistrate who is about to seize military power from the beginning to win the recognition of the veteran.
When the Lord heard this comment, he actually laughed.
“That’s indeed.”
Chu Yao: “…”
The main general clicked Lu Jue casually.
"Well, just let me go. Go back and report a letter to your lord. You will say that your Mr. Gongcao is a guest at Yongguguan and reminisces with old friends. He is not in a hurry to hire people. He can wait for three or five months, and he will definitely let Wuhui return intact. If you are anxious, please come to your door in person. The key to seizing military power lies in the morale of the army. Let us see, why should a child with a yellow mouth dare to make such bold statements!"
When Lu Jue heard this, he wanted to seize the person.
He immediately got up angry.
But no matter how good his talent is, he can''t stand it too late. He was directly suppressed and shocked by the power of the main general, who was calm.
"Brute force is not enough to convince the soldiers. Are all the brave and brave warriors under Shen Jun''s tent reckless as you?"
Until Chu Yao said, "Shousheng, go and send a letter."
Lu Jue said: "You..."
Chu Yao: "Wen Shi is still here, and I am not powerless. Although we two cannot do anything to Yongguguan, it is still possible to join forces to open our eyes to General Chu and Master Yu. At that time, two people are missing to take charge of the army. I think the "fisherman" of Shiwu will be very happy. General Chu has always put the overall situation first, and I believe he will not be neglected to us. Please feel at ease."
Main General: “…”
This is the first time I was threatened by Chu Yao.
He had no other meaning to "detain" the person. He just wanted to see whether the Huang-mouth child who "acted the post of the emperor" mentioned by Chu Yao was good at speaking or whether he had outstanding skills.
Just because Chu Yao opened his mouth, it was difficult to convince him.
If he was the only one, he could believe it.
But he is the main general, and if more than 20,000 brothers entrust their lives to him, he would not be able to believe it easily.
Therefore, seeing is true.
If the goods are not in line with each other, Yongguguan is also a good place to start, killing the dangers and hidden dangers in the bud.
Just look at whether Mr. Shen has the courage to go to the meeting alone.
Lu Jue struggled for several breaths.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and received the order.
"By the way." Chu Yao swept over Master Yu with a sneering eyes and reminded him, "Remember to let Weiheng come too."
Lu Jue was confused for a moment.
Why should Yu Zi be brought in this situation?
Yu Zi, now the word "Weiheng".
“Yes.”
Lu Jue dared not delay at all and rushed all the way.
I am afraid that if I procrastinate, my husband will be wronged.
In fact, Chu Yao was indeed wronged.
Because the conditions of Yonggu Pass are harsh.
A batch of fresh military rations was given by Shen Tang recently.
Since Zheng Qiao and Shiwumei were secretly sending out their misfortunes, the guards in Yonggu Pass have not had a good life because their boss took the lead in cooperating with the enemy. Originally, there were 50,000 soldiers from Longwu County, some of which died in the battle in the city, and more chose to be deserters. The remaining 20,000 were screened layer by layer, and their willpower was extraordinary and difficult for outsiders to control.
"The conditions are just like this, I will deal with it."
As a distinguished guest, Chu Yao treated him the same as him.
It can be seen that the general is not at hand.
Chu Yao was used to suffering and didn''t feel unacceptable. He looked as usual, but Xu Quan couldn''t eat it and complained: "This cake is so hard that it can break the teeth... Bah, where is it still something that people eat. When Yonggu shut down his salary for a long time, just eat this?"
The main general snorted, "This is already good."
Xu Quan pouted and still ate.
I was curious again: "How do you solve the problem after the salary is cut off?"
The main general: “Borrow it from your neighbor.”
Xu Quan didn''t turn around for a moment: "Neighbor?"
I immediately thought of something.
There were similar examples before. The guard general was cut off from food and salary by his superiors. In order to make his subordinates fill their stomachs, the general led his people to plunder the money and money of the common people in the territory every now and then.
Only rob money, don’t have life, and the people who rule the people are complaining about the sufferings.
This guy won’t do that too, right?
But the next sentence of the Lord dispelled his speculation: "There are no other places in the broken place of Shiwu, there are many cattle, sheep and horses."
All are meat.
Some tribes on the border of Shiwuwu were also scared by them. In addition, the weather was cold, and all tribes of all sizes migrated away, which also made it more difficult for Yonggu Pass soldiers to receive military pay, which was very worried.
Xu Quan: "…Back to rob the ten black men with backhand?"
The Lord General was amused by this saying: "What else? If you are hungry, you will have something to eat. The enemy''s food will be delicious!"
Seeing that Xu Quansheng was still young.
He sneered, making Xu Quan feel uncomfortable.
"What are you laughing?"
The main general asked, "You fought according to the military books?"
Xu Quan: "...you!"
Isn’t this an obvious mockery of being young?
The general stayed for a while, and saw that Chu Yao was very cold to him, he didn''t make any trouble. He got up and left, nor did he confine Chu Yao and the other two to move, allowing them to wander around in Yonggu Pass. Xu Quan was worried: "If the lord comes..."
Chu Yao said, "The Lord Guild comes from."
Xu Quan: "This is too dangerous."
This general is obviously not a good person.
Chu Yao also knew: "You have to find a way to break the deadlock, otherwise you will be forced to stop the 20,000 elite troops in Yonggu Pass will be difficult to subdue. Killing the master general is useless. If the master general is gone, they will most likely scatter their birds and beasts, and then make trouble with the banner of avenging the master general. Incorporating? It is good to be able to incorporate one or two Chengdu. Our army has only more than 10,000 troops, and it cannot fill this hole. The best way at the moment is to stabilize him. The lord does not need his loyalty but his troops... Besides, the danger is not that big."
Xu Quan was a little disbelief: "How come it''s not big?"
Chu Yao climbed the city wall with Xu Quan, and the deserted snow-capped mountains were filled with dust.
"His purpose is to defend Yonggu Pass and repel Shiwu. The same is true for our purpose. Apart from the conflicts in military power, there is no other conflict between the two sides, let alone the great revenge of life and death. Winning together is much better than internal friction between each other... He is most likely the plan. He needs food and grass, and we need his troops, which is not impossible to discuss. The key at the moment is to let him see his lord and dispel his doubts."
"Can the lord break the deadlock as soon as he comes?"
"Lord, you will impress him." Chu Yao said.
robbing the ten-million yuan can solve the temporary food and salary crisis, but it is not a long-term solution. Longwu County also needs to be cultivated and nourished. If it is a reliable county magistrate, it is of course a good thing.
If you can win the win, why do you have to fight to the death?
A few more than 20,000 elite soldiers who have experienced many battles...
This is a good thing about fillings falling from the sky.
Before learning that the main general was a child, Chu Yao''s plan was not so peaceful and friendly. He planned to start with Yu Zhuzhu. The process was a little bloody, and it was probably going to be **** 40% of the defenders. But the boss is a childhood friend... he changed his mind.
He plans to make money from nothing.
Xu Quan thought of another thing and looked strange.
"But if this is the case, won''t sir feel uncomfortable?"
"Sorry?" Chu Yao was puzzled, "Why are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Those two people... are half enemies, right?"
Chu Yao only realized what he wanted to say, and said funny: "The real enemy has drowned in the pit and his mentor has been buried. Yu Shizhong just obeys others... As for him, he is innocent... In your eyes, I am such a narrow-minded person?"
Xu Quan shook his hand quickly: "No, no, no, that''s not the case."
Chu Yao smiled and teased: "The grudge between Jiang Xiandeng and Qi Yuanliang is no less than my husband''s. They can tolerate it. How can I not tolerate it? For the lord''s great cause! A small impulse will cause trouble!"
