Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 172 Why didn't you agree?

"What? Five hundred catties of spirits? Two thousand soldiers?"

Wang Chengen in the hall slapped the table and stood up, angrily and surprised.

And the person standing in the hall was the lieutenant general who was released by Liang Qianwu before!

The deputy general came back, but before he came back, Liang Qianwu called him to stop, and then told him some conditions.

These conditions include asking Liangzhou to take five hundred catties of spirits to redeem people, and two thousand soldiers must send them. Both conditions are indispensable. If they cannot be met, then Guo Shoujiang and more than 100 brothers life is...

The lieutenant only remembered Liang Qianwu sneered when he said this, the meaning was self-evident.

After returning to the city, the deputy general came to the magistrate's mansion immediately. After all, Guo Jing was not there. The biggest official in Liangzhou City was Wang Chengen. He felt that this kind of matter should be decided by Wang Zhifu. He's just a lieutenant general, how can he make decisions on his own?
"Prefect Wang, what should we do?"

Seeing Wang Chengen not saying a word, the lieutenant became a little anxious.

"This matter... I'm afraid it's not that simple!"

Wang Chengen frowned and said.

"But Guo Shoujiang... and a group of brothers are in their hands! This matter can't wait!"

"Don't worry... Come on, go to the General's Mansion and invite Master Guo Liancheng! And... Come to the Lu Mansion by the way and invite Master Zhang Twelve!"

Originally, I just wanted to call Guo Liancheng over, because according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, if something happened to Guo Jing, Guo Liancheng would be the next Liangzhou guard. Moreover, Guo Jing was his father, and he had to deal with both public and private matters. Let him know!

As for why it was called Zhang Twelve, it was because Wang Chengen suddenly thought of the incident about why the "Four Eagles in Yushan Mountain" died suddenly. Guo Jing vaguely mentioned Zhang Twelve's name to him. At that time, he didn't care about it. Now Come to think of it, Zhang Twelve might be a key person!

Moreover, he has a great relationship with the Guo family. If Guo Liancheng can't stand the blow later and gets emotional, he can help to comfort him...

…………

"what!"

Guo Liancheng came to the magistrate's house first. After hearing the news, his eyes were red and his face was full of shock.

After a while, he calmed down, looked at Wang Chengen and said in a deep voice: "Prefect Wang, let me lead the troops to fight there! You must not agree to the conditions of those barbarians!"

"Nephew, be safe and don't be impatient! I can understand your feelings, but do you think you can save people by leading troops there? Xiliang has an army of more than 5000 people!"

"But, just watch my father and the others die?"

Guo Liancheng said in a crying voice.

"My lord, Young Master Zhang has arrived!"

"Quick and affectionate!"

Hearing this, Wang Chengen's face softened a little, and he quickly asked someone to invite Zhang Twelve in.

When Wang Chengen's people arrived at Lu's house, Zhang Twelve was teaching Lu Fujing how to write poems in the mansion, so Wang Chengen's invitation could be regarded as saving him from the dire straits. Although he didn't know why he was invited, Zhang Twelve It's still a fart...

Entering the hall, Zhang Twelve felt that the atmosphere here was a bit depressing.

Wang Chengen frowned, and another middle-aged man in armor and military uniform sighed even more, especially Guo Liancheng, why was he still crying?
"Prefect Wang, this..."

"Young master Zhang just came, let me tell you about the situation..."

So, Wang Chengen told him what happened in short.

"What? Five hundred catties of spirits? They are dreaming!"

Hearing that the Xiliang people also wanted to drink spirits, Zhang Twelve didn't have the complacent look that spirits have become a household name, even foreign barbarians have heard of it. On the contrary, he was extremely angry. Wine, do you want it?

Seeing that the other people looked at him wrongly, Zhang Twelve also realized that his anger seemed wrong. Everyone was worried about the safety of the hostages, but he was worried about the alcohol, which was a bit bad...

"Hehe, what I mean is, these Xiliang barbarians should be damned!"

Zhang Twelve's face changed, and he said with righteous indignation.

"Mr. Zhang, what do you think the conditions raised by the Xiliang people mean?"

Wang Chengen looked at Zhang Twelve and said.

"I'm afraid the ulterior motives are not in the bar?"

"Drunkards don't want to drink alcohol? What do you mean?"

"That's right - what they want is not just spirits! I'm afraid what they want is Liangzhou City!"

"Extremely extreme! Mr. Zhang and Wang have thought of getting together!"

Wang Chengen said happily.

After all, he is not a young man like Guo Liancheng who has no experience in the world, so when he heard the condition of the Xiliang people, he felt something was wrong at first.

The defenders of Liangzhou City are only more than 1000 people at full strength, let them make up 2000 people?Wouldn't it be the same as last time, even the males from common people's families have to make up the number?
The situation in Liangzhou City is almost the same as that in Liangzhou, and the people of Xiliang must know it.Knowing but making such a request, what exactly do they want to do, I'm afraid it's Sima Zhao's heart!
Once the 2000-man army leaves the city, the defensive strength of Liangzhou City is equal to zero. If they send troops to attack again at this time, wouldn't Liangzhou City be handed over to others?

It was because of this thought that Wang Chengen hesitated and called Guo Liancheng...

"Brother Zhang, I know what you're talking about—but, doesn't my father care? Wang Zhifu, I only need [-] defenders in the city to follow me out of the city. Whether it's success or failure, I, Guo Liancheng, don't care. No regrets!"

Following Zhang Twelve's analysis, Guo Liancheng also understood the wolfish ambitions of the Xiliang people, but so what if he knew?

That's his father!How can he ignore it?

"Brother Guo, don't worry, I didn't say no to rescue General Guo!"

As soon as Zhang Twelve finished speaking, the three people in the room immediately regained their spirits and all looked at him.

"Young Master Zhang, if you have any tricks, tell us quickly!"

"Yes, brother, tell us quickly!"

"Ahem, this, don't be in a hurry, brother lieutenant, please tell me the matter in detail first, I need to make a plan!"

Zhang Twelve coughed twice, his head was full of black lines, you think I'm a god, and you let me figure out a way after just a few words, how is it possible!

"Oh, the thing is like this, the day before yesterday..."

The deputy general talked for a while, and then went through the whole thing from beginning to end. Zhang Twelve understood it, and he probably had an idea in his mind—a very bad idea!

"Five hundred catties of spirits, two thousand soldiers?"

Zhang Twelve repeated one more sentence, the deputy general nodded quickly, while Wang Chengen said with a worried face: "This condition is actually very difficult! And their purpose is so obvious, how can we agree?"

"No, yes! Why not?"

Zhang Twelve said with a smile.
