After a few words, everyone can't say enough about Zhou Heng.
You can only do what Zhou Heng wants.
"Then how many troops does His Highness plan to bring there?"
Ma Bo asked Zhou Heng.
"Fifty thousand people!"
Zhou Heng said the number of people he needed. He originally wanted to say 30,000 people, but he thought it was more conservative, 50,000 people would be enough.
"Is 50,000 people too little?"
Feng Zheng looked at Zhou Heng.
There are 100,000 enemy troops in Hanzhong, Zhou Heng only led 50,000 people, and the number of enemies is almost double, the gap is too big, what if there is an accident?
"It's quite a lot. Don't forget that there are still soldiers and horses in Hanzhong. There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered here. Add up, the number is basically 100,000."
Zhou Heng counted the number of people for everyone.
The 50,000 people are Zhou Heng's own soldiers and horses. In addition, there are some soldiers and horses in Hanzhong, which add up to just enough to confront the Xiyi army.
"If that's the case, it's fine."
Li Ke nodded.
According to Zhou Heng's calculations, there is no problem for Zhou Heng to take away 50,000 people.
"That's it. I'll take 50,000 people, Li Ke, Feng Zheng, and Ma Bo, you three will lead 100,000 troops to attack Yangping Pass and Ningqiang. Shrink, when the time comes we will pinch back and forth."
Zhou Heng explained the plan to the three of them.
"good."
Li Ke nodded.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, we will not let you down!"
"I have a hundred reassurances for you."
Zhou Heng said with a smile.
Formulate a plan, and everyone set off from Foping Bing in two routes.
Zhou Heng took Li Xingba and Jun Buqi to lead 50,000 people towards Qingshui City
the other side.
Xue Baoshan led Hong Cheng, Ge Lan, and five hundred soldiers towards Qingshui City.
Both sides headed towards Qingshui City.
Two days later, Xue Baoshan brought Hong Cheng and others to Qingshui City.
"In front of the two generals is Qingshui City!" Xue Baoshan pointed to Qingshui City with a smile.
"Is this Qingshui City?"
Hong Cheng didn't have many surprises when he looked at Qingshui City. Compared with Hanzhong City, Qingshui City was still too small, and the city walls were not as good as those of Hanzhong City.
"That's right."
Xue Baoshan nodded.
"Let's hurry up and go to the city, and we'll talk about the matter after discussing it!" Hong Cheng said to Xue Baoshan. They came all the way to discuss matters on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were familiar with Qingshui City.
"My lord, a group of soldiers and horses came outside, seems to be Xiyi soldiers and horses?"
Cao Zhijiang was processing official documents in the yamen, and a person hurried in from outside to report to Cao Zhijiang.
"Xiyi soldiers and horses?"
Cao Zhijiang looked at the person in front of him with a shocked expression, "Can you see clearly? Is Xiyi wanting to attack Qingshui City?" Cao Zhijiang began to feel a little nervous.
Hanzhong City was not able to withstand the Xiyi army, let alone their Qingshui City. There are no soldiers and horses stationed in Qingshui City now. If the Xiyi army attacks, what should they do?
"Follow me to go and see, if it is really Xiyi attacking the city, immediately evacuate the people, and let the people all leave, it is Qingshui City."
Cao Zhijiang ordered.
He has seen the scene of Hanzhong City, and he must not let Qingshui City become a second Hanzhong City, it is not a place where people live at all.
"yes!"
The person in front of Cao Zhijiang nodded.
Cao Zhijiang led the people to the gate of the city quickly.
"My lord, do you see?"
Coming to the city wall, one of them pointed to the Xiyi soldiers and horses coming towards Qingshui City in the distance and said.
"Prepare the bow and arrow. If there is anything wrong, shoot me immediately." Cao Zhijiang ordered, they don't need any mercy for the people of Xiyi.
Qingshui City is ready for battle, Xue Baoshan came slowly with Hong Cheng, Ge Lan and others.
"My lord seems to be the Xue family's carriage!"
"It's really the Xue family's carriage!" Cao Zhijiang looked at the carriage, and it was indeed Xue Baoshan's carriage. Cao Zhijiang was a little puzzled, how could Xue Baoshan come back with the Xiyi people?
Cao Zhijiang was a little puzzled.
"What should my lord do now?"
"I don't care about him, if there is anything wrong, I will kill him." Cao Zhijiang said, he can't let go of any suspicious things.He must be cautious about this matter.
"yes."
Everyone nodded.
When Xue Baoshan and others came to the gate of the city, bows and arrows were bent on the city wall, and everything was ready to go.
"I am Xue Baoshan, the head of the Xue family!"
Xue Baoshan stood at the gate of the city and looked up at the soldiers above and shouted.
"Patriarch Xue!"
Cao Zhijiang replied.
"Master Cao, hurry up the city gate!" Seeing Cao Zhijiang, Xue Baoshan immediately asked Cao Zhijiang to open the city gate.
"It's okay to let me open the city gate, but I don't know why Patriarch Xue is with Xiyi's soldiers and horses. Please ask Patriarch Xue to explain this matter, otherwise the gate will not be opened."
Cao Zhijiang gave Xue Baoshan a clear answer.
Xue Baoshan looked at Hong Cheng and Ge Lan behind him.
"The two of them are here to discuss matters in Hanzhong. I was sent to Hanzhong by His Royal Highness King Lu. You open the city gate quickly and let us in. If things are delayed, you and I can't afford it."
Xue Baoshan said in a serious tone.
"No, this matter must be explained."
Cao Zhijiang was like a tendon, if Xue Baoshan didn't make it clear to him, he would never open the city gate.
"you?"
Xue Baoshan didn't expect Cao Zhijiang to be so shameless.
"Patriarch Xue, it seems that Master Cao doesn't take you seriously." Hong Cheng stepped forward with a smile, "Master Cao, quickly open the city gate and let us in. We are here on behalf of Xiyi."
Hong Cheng said.
"Representing Xiyi?"
Cao Zhijiang looked at Hong Cheng and the others.
"That's right."
Hong Cheng nodded.
"If so, why did you bring so many people?" Cao Zhijiang asked, when they visited Xiyi, there were only five or six people, but Xiyi sent more than 500 people, who believed that they just came to Qingshui City.
"If you don't open the door, if Xiyi and Dazhou are at war, you can't afford it." Hong Cheng threatened Cao Zhijiang.
"I'm sorry, I, Cao Zhijiang, have always been toasting and not eating fine wine!"
Cao Zhijiang replied.
Threatening yourself?
I don't eat this set myself.
"Then what if the king buys you a drink?" After Cao Zhijiang finished speaking, Zhou Zheng's voice came from behind.
"His Royal Highness King Lu."
Cao Zhijiang saluted immediately.
"Why didn't you open the city gate to let them in?" Zhou Zheng stared at Cao Zhijiang and asked, since Cao Zhijiang rejected Zhou Zheng last time, Zhou Zheng had no good impression of Cao Zhijiang.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the situation of the Xiyi visitor is unknown, so I cannot open the city gate." Cao Zhijiang replied.
"Didn't they say that they came here because of the Hanzhong incident? Could it be that Mr. Cao couldn't hear you?" Zhou Zheng asked Cao Zhijiang. The following was so clear that Cao Zhijiang didn't understand.
It's not what inaudible is.
"Your Highness, this matter is strange. Since you are an envoy, why do you need five hundred swordsmen?" Cao Zhijiang raised his own doubts.
Their Qingshui City is not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, and an envoy will bring five hundred knives and axemen, which clearly shows bad intentions. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
