Wang Huan completely aroused the emotions of these generals with a few simple words. Qiu Ceng was so impressed that he fell to the ground with admiration. I have to say that Jiang is still hotter!
At the same time, Qiu Cun had a new understanding of the eight governors who had been recruited from Tian Hu's remnant army. Wang Lun once said at the beginning that although these eight people have different abilities, they are uneven. But on the battlefield, they are all characters who dare to risk their lives. Qiu Cun didn't quite believe it at the time, and he didn't know where Wang Lun could see that these people had the qualities to dare to risk their lives, but at this time, he more or less believed it. If there is no blood, Wang Huan can't irritate them even if he vomits lotus flowers.
After sighing secretly for a while, Qiu Cui watched the three governors under his command bid farewell and left. He himself also planned to return to the city to see if there were any urgent documents from the governor's office. However, Qiu Chan found Wang Huan looking at him with bright eyes at this moment. Qiu Chan knew that he must have something to say, so he did not mention leaving at the moment. Sure enough, Wang Huan suddenly asked: "Tairan, you are very knowledgeable. Why is the county behind us named Caoxian?"
Seeing that Wang Huan started with this topic, Qiu Cang couldn't help but smile and said: "During the Han Dynasty, Lelang County governed Chaoxian City. My lord had to deal with many things and was involved in trivial matters. I must have forgotten it for a while and remembered Chaoxian as Caoxian County!"
Hearing this, Wang Huan couldn't help laughing, pointing at Qiu Cang and saying: "Haha, you scholars! You know it's wrong but you don't say it. Could it be that you are watching Leader Wang make a fool of himself?"
"A place name is just a mark. It doesn't really matter! What's more, a place name that clearly bears the imprint of Liangshan will become a good story after hundreds of years."
Wang Huan wanted to create a less heavy conversation atmosphere, so Qiu Ceng would of course cooperate, and he laughed. "After all, my lord is also a human being, not an omnipotent god, right? When future generations talk about this matter, no one will cling to this point. Everyone will only think that my lord is approachable!"
"Haha, you guys!" Seeing that Qiu Chan could explain it like this, Wang Huan finally understood. He looked at this young man and laughed for a while. After laughing, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh and said lonely: "Old man! I can only fight with you young people! If it were back then, I might have been more powerful than Li Ming and Duan Pengju, and I would definitely have a team of people to see what earth-shattering abilities this Jurchen has!"
When Wang Huan said this, he couldn't hide the infinite disappointment on his face. Seeing this, Qiu Chan thought that Wang Huan really had something on his mind, and immediately said: "Lian Po is not old yet, he can still make a living! This Jurchen will immediately We will meet each other, and then the responsibility for the safety of Cao County will fall on the shoulders of the old general. The juniors and the soldiers and civilians in this city will still have to rely on the old general's authority!"
When Wang Huan heard this, he shook his head and smiled, although there was no arrogance on his face. But his eyes looking towards the north showed more determination.
"This time, the leader Wang resolutely gave up the sixteen states of Jingdong that fell into his pocket. Instead, he retreated, gathered a large number of troops and pointed the spearhead directly at the Kingdom of Jin. What do you think of this matter?"
coming! Qiu Cui sighed secretly and said in deep thought: "There is no need to compete with the Song Dynasty for a short period of time. Considering the bravery and good fighting skills of our Liangshan soldiers, I believe that defeating Tong Guan in a short period of time is not a matter of great difficulty. What is difficult is this After the war, we and the Song Dynasty are in the same situation. No matter how incompetent the imperial court is, it will not accept the situation that Liangshan becomes another Xixia. Instead, my shortcomings in Liangshan are undoubtedly revealed!"
"If Qiu Cui's old friends heard this analysis, they would definitely be shocked. They thought that he was a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty, but now he actually opened his mouth and shut up about Liangshan, and unabashedly pointed out that the court was stupid and immoral. It seems that Liangshan's methods of deceiving people are still powerful. This man cannot be greedy for gambling, and if he wants to gamble, he cannot bet with Wang Lun. No, Qiucai is a lesson learned from the past.
"So, the governor doesn't want to see the village and the imperial court fighting to death?" Wang Huan said with a half-smile but not a smile.
"Before I went up the mountain, I was not optimistic about the competition between Liangshan and the imperial court. Now, I can't just watch the competition between the mountain village and the imperial court!"
Although Wang Huan is not a word-for-word person, he could not tell the difference when he heard Qiu Cang's previous argument and the later one's quarrel. He already understood Qiu Cang's position at this time, so he opened his mind:
"You and I really want to go together! I remember that although I had no choice but to go up to Liangshan, now I admire the leader Wang very much! Despite the prosperous land of the Central Plains, he can actually hold back his heart. , I'm afraid many people are heartbroken when they see Jingdong in control." At this point, Wang Huan sneered, "Huh, some people are just short-sighted and don't think about it first.?Look at your own capital! Is it so easy to make a big deal out of a small person? The imperial court can be defeated three times, five times, and ten times, but can Liangshan withstand a big defeat? This is ¡®power¡¯! People, if they cannot see the current situation clearly, they will make the big mistake of going against the trend! If you wait until a big mistake is made, then it will be difficult to look back! "
"Yes! If something goes wrong with the copycat in Jingdong, and the Jurchens drive in here, this great situation that has been worked hard for may become short-lived!" Qiu Cang also felt deeply at this time, Wang Lun The unusual calmness of this leader made him more and more confident in Liangshan (no one knew that Wang Lun was unwilling to completely go to war with the imperial court. There was another reason that could not be stated clearly to outsiders, that is, he did not want to let the tragedy of the late Ming Dynasty happen. It will be staged in advance. It is normal for China to win and lose in its own competition, but there is a prerequisite, and that is that outsiders must not be allowed to benefit from it)
Wang Huan deeply agreed with Qiu Ceng's point of view, "Behind Liangshan is the safety of millions of immigrants. Leader Wang is really a good man who does nothing. I, Wang Huan, am getting old. I finally got on the wrong boat!" "
Why doesn¡¯t Qiu Cang feel the same way? It's just that scholars are not as straightforward as military generals. At this time, they just smiled and said: "Old general, there are more than one million immigrants now, more than four million to be precise!"
"Four million? We all have four million immigrants?" Wang Huan didn't know this situation. He couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. Even with his eyes closed, he could guess that this time JD.com's big move would definitely bring a lot of gains, but there was no Thinking of this, Xu Guanzhong's clever trick was able to suddenly increase the number of Han people under Liang Shan's command to four million out of thin air.
What is the concept of four million? Wang Huan, as a military envoy before the Song Dynasty, would it be unclear? How much reserve troops and tax resources will that mean? Many road-level organizations in the Song Dynasty may not have such a large population!
After receiving a positive answer from Qiu Cun, Wang Huan suddenly felt nervous and said: "I asked why there is no naval force to cooperate with us in setting up defenses. It turns out that we are unable to do anything well! No, this Caoxian County cannot be lost. , If you lose me, you will be a great sinner to four million compatriots! Even if you die, you will not be able to survive!"
"The old general said something serious!"
Qiu Cun greatly admired the bloody spirit shown by Wang Huan, an old soldier, and said: "Although this junior has never dealt with the Jurchens face to face, we can see from these fleeing people that this group of barbarians must not be anything." Good people! I think the people of Goryeo are used to being submissive and will not resist if they have a mouth to eat. But these refugees would rather drag their families and leave their homes than obey the Jurchens. It is easy to imagine what we are about to face. What a group of enemies!¡±
"I heard that when the Goryeo soldiers faced our Liangshan Army, they collapsed at the first touch. But now the situation is different. Each of their families has been divided into fields, and their families are also in the rear. They are no longer soulless soldiers. Facts have also proved it. , These people tried their best to defend the city, but they couldn't stop the Jurchens' offensive! From this, we have to prepare for the worst!" At the end of Wang Huan's words, he frowned and suddenly He said with emphasis:
"Since the navy can't dispatch any manpower, how about we ask Wang Dingliu and Bu Qing to dispatch people and ships? One of them is the port manager and the other is the salt manager. They have a lot of strength on their hands. We have no challenge at the moment. After selecting the qualifications, the most important thing now is to ensure that the Datong River defense line is flawless! "
"This junior has made a request to the Protectorate, but there is no reply yet. However, if there is news, this junior will definitely inform the senior general as soon as possible!" Qiu Cun is not a mediocre official with the attributes of toothpaste, he needs external pressure to be able to do it. Do something serious.
"Okay, okay!" Wang Huan said three "good" words in a row, and couldn't help but feel a little excited at this time: "Tairan, it's my blessing to work with you! But in the future, if I offend you well, what happens in the future Talk about it in the future!¡±
The straightforward veteran suddenly left a few words, which was very rare, although it was very puzzling. But Qiu Cun is not someone who takes things easy. He already understands Wang Huan's intentions. The veteran is already preparing for the worst! Qiu Cai couldn't help but feel sour in his heart, but he pretended to be relaxed and said: "The old general is joking, you are in Caoxian County, the Datong River is impregnable! It's not shameful for a junior to be called Guangxu Prefect, but why are you afraid of being said if your skills are not as good as others? But I must not do this. Being called a fugitive governor!"
Qiu Cun's words were so resounding that Wang Huan was shocked when he heard the words, and at the same time he strengthened his thoughts. He just heard him say: "I really don't want that day to come! But I still know about Wu Bingyi and the three little guys. Seeing them fighting The battle was so miserable, even if it were the Han army, I think the battle would have been better, but the result would still be like this. Tairan, don't stop me, let me tell you, I will feel relieved if I tell you. Remember, if this day comes and I can't stop it, you must not accompany this dying old guy to death! You are still young, and this world will belong to you sooner or later!" Wang Huanyue said afterward!In front of him, his tone became calmer, so calm that Qiu Cang was scared.
"Old General, we are not really in a dead end. Listen to what I told you. Recently, the lord personally went to Shamen Island to deploy reinforcements, and far away, Jin joined the army to ask for help from the Liao Kingdom. This battle may not necessarily end in a dead end. !" Qiu Cun did not continue to "fight" with Wang Huan, but tried to comfort the old general who was obviously determined to die. But having said that, he still believed in the veteran's sense of smell on the battlefield. Maybe in three days, maybe in five days, a bloody battle that even Wang Huan was not completely sure about was about to come. (To be continued.)
