Prime Minister take care

Chapter 252
Liangzhou, Wuwei.

In the winter of the seventh year of Yonghe, General Zhang Rui of the Liang Army led [-] warriors to Guoting.After that, [-] Liang troops settled in this important town on the border of Yongliang.

As the vanguard of Liang Jun's attack on Shu, Zhang Rui's most important purpose was to contain Liangzhou's military strength when Liang Jun entered Shu.Fifty thousand Liang troops were stationed in Guoting.Whether the Liangzhou Army wants to reap the benefits or reinforcements enter Shu, the [-] Liang Army has always been an unavoidable obstacle.

Zhang Rui did indeed do a good job. From the moment Liang Jun captured Guoting, the Liangzhou Army did not make much movement from beginning to end.

But this is not because of Liang Jun's military strength.

Chu and Wu had already made huge noises on their respective borders, but Zhu Zi, an ally of Shu, showed no reaction at all.

"My lord, Wu and Chu are already at war with Liang Jun on the border, and Huan Wu's main force is also deep in Shu. This is a good opportunity for our army to go eastward!"

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it is also a great opportunity for these military leaders in Liangzhou to make contributions.Liangzhou is bitterly cold, but Yongzhou is one of the richest places in the world.In the ten years since Huanwu acquired Yongzhou, he had migrated refugees, cultivated fields, and accumulated considerable wealth.And these wealth are now in Haojing City.

Zhu Zi shook his head. He was much more cautious than Huan Wu imagined.

"Guoting is the only channel for our army to go out from the east. Huanzi is good at defending, and Liang Jun strikes first and has a firm foothold. Our Xiliang cavalry is one of the most elite cavalry in the world, but the rest of the troops are inferior to Liang Jun. There is not much advantage. To attack a military fortress guarded by [-] Liang troops, our military strength is insufficient."

“But Lord, are our army going to give up such a great opportunity?
Zhu Zi shook his head, faced the gazes of all the military leaders, and said: "This may not be the best opportunity at this time. Chu and Wu are so powerful, but no one is serious about it. Huan Wu still has some strength left, and Yang Xian has no intention of fighting with him. We must fight to the death. We in Liangzhou are not as powerful as Wu and Chu, and we must wait for the best opportunity."

Zhu Zi's words moved a group of military leaders, and they calmed down their restless hearts.As for them being allies of the Shu Kingdom and going to aid or something, none of these military leaders thought of it.In other words, even if they think about it, they are too lazy to do it.

After all, attacking Yongzhou can get a lot of wealth, but supporting the Shu army can't make much money other than being cannon fodder.

After all the military leaders left, Xu He was the only one who stayed.

"Lord, are our troops really beyond our capabilities?"

Zhu Zi looked at Xu He, this subordinate who once flirted with Huan Wu and was also the third most powerful figure in Liangzhou.Zhu Zi did not sneer at him because of this.Zhu Zi knew that there were not many such people in the Liangzhou Army.

"You see it?"

"Huan Wu and Yang Xian did not try their best. But Huan Wu was unable to attack Shu because of the unrest in the Central Plains. If the lord can lead tens of thousands of Xiliang cavalry to attack Guoting at this moment, the Liang Army will be greatly affected. . From now on, no matter whether our army is attacking or defending, even if we make peace with Huan Wu, we will have great benefits."

Zhu Zi is a great master, and there are tens of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry under his command. Xu He doesn't think that he has no confidence that he can't take down Guoting, but his attitude really makes Xu He a little confused.

"Yes, I am [-]% sure of taking Guoting. But what happens after that? Not to mention the danger of the military, everything is unknown. Even if our army takes Guoting, the family fortune of our Liangzhou Army is not the same. If it’s not thick, how long can it last?”

Xu He's face changed one by one, and the meaning of Zhu Zi's words did not seem to be worried about Huan Wu, but meant something else.

But besides Huan Wu, who else around Liangzhou could make Zhu Zi worried at this time?

Mozu?Savage beast?Monster clan?Tuyi?Or the Demonic Sect?
The targets flashed quickly in Xu He's mind, but they were all plausible.At the end, Xu He really couldn't think of anyone else. But a thunderbolt flashed in his heart.

He forgot the most important goal!
Yang Xian!

Xu He took a breath without leaving any trace and looked at Zhu Zi.His lord's face was still calm, but it gave Xu He a bottomless feeling.

Could it be that his lord has always been worried about Yang Xian?Chengji County.

It was night, Qin Yuan was reading a book in his study, but he heard a noise outside.He was well-cultivated, and he was vigilant in his heart, but he saw the door of the study slowly opening.

Qin Yuan was confused. If he was an assassin, then this guy would be too bold.But if not, why would he have such unruly servants in his house?

Wearing a black cloak covering his whole body, the person came closer. Under the bright lights, Qin Yuan finally saw the face of this familiar figure.

"Feng'er, why are you here?"

Qin Feng knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Yuan.

"Father, by order of the Prime Minister, I would like to ask you to borrow three thousand Xiliang cavalry."

"What did you say?"

Qin Yuan stood up all of a sudden, his breath a little uncomfortable.The Liangzhou military leaders each have their own troops, and even Zhu Zi can't control this.As the largest military leader in Liangzhou, he is also the second most powerful person in Liangzhou.Qin Yuan has eight thousand Xiliang cavalry in his hands, which can be regarded as the private army of the Qin family.

"Do you know that Liangzhou's soldiers and horses should not move lightly without the master's order?"

Although there are many military leaders in Liangzhou, they all have a common master.Zhu Zi established the rules, and those who dared to violate them no longer existed.

Qin Yuan is not afraid, because even Zhu Zi has nothing to do with him.

Qin Yuan looked ugly. He looked at Qin Feng and asked Yang Xian instead of what he wanted these three thousand troops for.

"If I lend you these three thousand soldiers and horses, do you know what the consequences will be? Have you ever thought about why Yang Xian asked you to borrow these soldiers and horses?"

"Zhu Zihui has a suspicion against his father, but his father has a lot of troops, and even Zhu Zi can't easily move him. If there is chaos in Liangzhou, both Huanwu and the prime minister will have the opportunity to intervene in Liangzhou. Compared to Huanwu, I'm afraid Zhu Zi is more powerful now. The one who is worried is the Prime Minister. Otherwise, he would not have been silent for the past few months."

What Qin Yuan didn't expect was that not only was Qin Feng not fooled by Yang Xian, but he saw it far away.

"Since you have seen through Yang Xian's intentions, why do you still come to borrow troops?"

"My lord, Qin Feng, must be ambitious and capable of unifying the world, but Zhu Zi is not. Father, you have been the target of my admiration since childhood, but your vision in choosing a lord is really poor. My lord Yang Xian fought against Huan Wu with only one state. The battle outside Baocheng Pass shocked the world. How can such heroes be compared to Zhu Zi's generation?"

Qin Feng stood up and bowed his hands.

"Father, my second brother and my third brother have decided to go to Shu with me and serve my lord. They didn't dare to come to see you and wanted to leave. But I felt that this was not the behavior of a man, so I came to see you."

Qin Yuan looked into Qin Feng's gaze, full of excitement, but he didn't feel the same way, and threw the book in his hand at Qin Yuan.

"You little brat, you want to divide the family property with me when you get stiff, and you even want to persuade Lie'er and Tie'er to get together!"
