Chapter 1125

It's summer again.

Liu Yu led ten thousand Zhou "mercenaries" to Xiliang city.

He had cordial and friendly talks with Pei Meng, the second king of Anxi.

One is the old lake, and the other is the emperor's son who was trained by the empress himself.

The two met in a harmonious atmosphere.

At the banquet, the boundary between Chu River and Han Dynasty was distinct.

Drink in a big bowl and eat meat in large pieces.

They are a group of bold and generous men.

There was a sudden change of interest.

Love aside, brothers have to settle accounts, not to mention not brothers.

"The loan from Shaofu's Bank has been paid, and the empress is indeed trustworthy. I just have some ideas about the "mercenary" fee set by the empress. "

Pei Meng took the lead.

He didn't mention the emperor Liu Zhao, but he was definitely unconvinced.

The two cousins are always on guard against each other and dislike each other.

Liu Zhao looked down on him. He did not look up to him again.

In Pei Meng's mind, he only recognized one opponent, that is, the empress Gu Jiu.

For Liu Yu, Pei Meng must want to weigh each other's weight first.

It is said that Liu Yu, the king of Qi, was taught by the empress herself. Pei Meng was very curious. Liu Yu learned how much she could do.

Liu Yu put down his glass, picked up his eyebrows and laughed, "is the Lord going to betray himself?"

Pei Meng said with a smile, "I don't like to hear this. Sending troops to the western regions is very important. According to the empress's arrangement, the court benefited the most. But I asked the king to pay you to fight. It means that the benefits belong to you, the interests and money belong to you, but I have to bear all the consequences. What benefits did I get?

There seems to be nothing good except to attract a group of enemies! According to empress dowager's view, fighting a war is money. It's OK not to fight a war without interests. I think about it and think about it. What is the king's interest after this battle

Liu Yu, the king of Qi, said with a smile, "the king of Anxi thinks that the battle is not interesting and can't make money. Why don't you give Xiliang to the king and take the northwest army to look for another territory. What if the king brings people to fight this war, and I will bear any consequences? "

"Ha ha ha His highness, the king of Qi, is really funny. " Pei Meng burst out laughing.

Wang Anxi might as well think of it as a joke. In Xiliang, the king dislikes it, but I don't. The king does not dislike the war. I am anxious about what the Lord is anxious about. Can you be satisfied with it

Pei Meng slightly narrowed his eyes, ha ha a smile, "the hero out of the youth, the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger, not bad. You have the demeanor of empress fearing nothing and daring to take care of things. It's just your little shoulder. Can you carry such a heavy burden

Liu Yu, the king of Qi, cast a smile in his eyes and said, "if you can afford to bear it, you have to try to know. Xiliang is a place that the strategists must contend for. It can be said that the father, the emperor and his mother attached great importance to Xiliang, as well as the layout of Xiliang for many years. Now, the outside of the tiger and wolf around, we should have been sincere cooperation to drive the tiger and wolf together.

However, it is not the right attitude to do great things if the Lord turns back and talks about good things now. If the king missed the opportunity to lay out the western regions and win the hearts of the people for a little money, I can only say, "the Lord is old!"

Bang!

A general of the northwest army directly smashed the wine pot, jumped up and pointed to Liu Yu, "what do you say? Son, when you were not born, we would follow the king to death. What qualifications do you have to speak out

"Presumptuous!" Pei Meng scolded his generals in a low voice, and then said to Liu Yu, king of Qi, "they are all a group of rough people. Your highness, the king of Qi, should not be wise with them."

Liu Yu, the king of Qi, said with a smile, "this general, what I said just now is all right. I agree with all of you. When you fought on the battlefield, I was not born. Now, I grow up, but you are old, which is really a pity.

In addition, I also want to warn the general that the world belongs to our young people after all. The general is old. He can't move his sword. He can't kill for three days or three nights. It's better to retire to the second line, and don't come out. How can you shout? People can't even find a rising star in Anxi palace.

This has to be worrying. When you grow old, who will guard the Anxi palace? Do you expect a group of white bearded old men to fight? Twenty years later, will the family name of Anxi palace be Pei? "

"Shameless child, don't talk nonsense!" The generals of Anxi palace were indignant.

It's too bad to hear!

If it was not for the sake of the other party's son, he would have been rolling his sleeves.

Peimeng was not angry, but full of worry.

Because what Liu Yu said hurt the weakness of Anxi palace.

The younger generation is withering, or they are still studying in school. The situation is supported by a group of old guys.

The old folks can last five or ten years.

Within ten years, if the younger generation fails to grow up, Anxi palace will be in danger, and Xiliang will be in danger.Especially in the current situation, with tigers and wolves around and foreigners may attack Xiliang at any time, Anxi palace urgently needs to seize the time to carry out the replacement of the new and the old.

War is the best training ground.

Whether young people can get up and pull them to the battlefield will soon come to a conclusion.

Should we fight the western regions?

It's time to fight!

It is also good for Anxi palace.

But Pei Meng didn't want to give in easily.

He wants more benefits.

The two sides were at loggerheads.

Pei Meng closed his eyes and was not worried at all.

Liu Yu is less anxious.

Mr. Dou is worried.

To promote the cooperation between the two sides, he will have a place in the first volume of the biography of the famous, and will be famous forever.

Dou's family, because of him, will be honored and passed down through the ages.

However, seeing Pei Meng's attitude, Mr. Dou knew that this was not a good time to speak.

So he took a look at Mr. Lu.

Last year, Mr. Lu was fooled by the empress's mother. As a former middle school official, Mr. Lu went to Xiliang to persuade Pei Meng to agree to send troops to the western regions, accept the help of imperial "mercenaries" and accept loans from the Shaofu bank.

The mission is completed and we should have left for Beijing.

Pei Meng refused to let people go. He had to wait until Liu Yu led his troops to Xiliang before allowing Mr. Lu to leave.

No way, Mr. Lu had to stay in Xiliang.

He was at the banquet today.

Mr. Dou called his name. "Mr. Lu said something! This cooperation was facilitated by Mr. Lu. We all want to hear from Mr. Lu. "

They all nodded.

Mr. Lu snorted, put down his glass, and said with a smile, "the two princes have different opinions on the cost of the mercenary. We can talk about it. The king of Anxi was inconvenient. It was better to choose "mercenaries" after the war. How about it? "

"Well, ha ha..." Mr. Dou said, "Mr. Lu may not know much about the western regions. Most of the gold, silver and jewelry were seized after the war. It's not fair for us to give priority to mercenaries in Anxi palace! "

"Half the way."

"No, no!"

"Then choose in batches. Each time half an hour, the two sides rotate. "

"It works."

The generals of both sides agreed to take turns in the selection of postwar seizures.

Half an hour, limited the number of people, time, can not move too many things.

Both sides have a chance to make a lot of money.

Mr. Dou asked Pei Meng carefully, "what does the Lord mean?"

Pei Meng opened his eyes and said, "if I don't want to pay for it, I have no problem. What does your royal highness of Qi want to say? "

Liu Yu was not polite, directly took out the list of materials that had been prepared long ago, "please be sure to prepare the materials on the list."

Pei Meng took over the list of materials and looked at it with a sneer. "His highness, the king of Qi, really has the essence of Empress Dowager. He has a good ability to ask for prices all over the world. It's good."

"The Lord can return the money on the ground."

Pei Meng is very straightforward, "all materials, the quantity will be reduced by half"

"at least 80%"

"50%"

"80%"

Bargaining between the two sides is a new round of anxiety.

In this way, a banquet hard to generate a large-scale bargaining scene.

There was a fight over the price.

These days, bargaining has become a new way.

Late at night, the banquet is over.

Go back to your room and have a rest.

Liu Zheng complained with Liu Yu, "the king of Anxi is so stingy that he has to haggle over several pieces of armor. I don't think about it. We came to help him fight the war. Except for getting a little money, all the benefits are his. I don't think he is sincere. Lord, be careful that he is behind us. When you send out troops, you must be careful not to be sold by him. "

Liu Yu said, "well," not sure.

"And the senior generals of Anxi palace. They are all very old. I'm really worried about whether these old guys can wield their swords in the battlefield."

"The base of Anxi palace is the northwest army, and its combat effectiveness is still there. In recent years, they can not be underestimated. "

Liu Yu's attitude is very objective, does not despise anyone, of course, will not look up to anyone.

Liu Zheng asked, "do you have any confidence in this expedition to the western regions?"

Liu Yu looked at him, "are you afraid?"

"Who would be afraid! I'm worried that King Anxi is hiding us behind our backs and treating us as cannon fodder. He will enjoy the benefits of the fishing grounds. "

"Don't worry! He dares not to give up his strength. "

"Why does the LORD say that?"

Liu Yu smiles, "because Anxi palace can't do without the support of the imperial court, he dare not let this king have an accident. So he will try his best. "

Liu Zheng didn't understand.Liu Yu did not explain more, but took advantage of this time to talk to Mr. Lu.

Mr. Lu opened the door to welcome him. "I expected that the LORD would come and have a cup of tea ready."

"Sir, it's elegant."

They sat on the ground, sipping tea and chatting.

"When I came to Xiliang for half a year, I felt that Pei Meng was very good at civil affairs. Walking on the streets of the King City of Xiliang, you can hear people speak Chinese and use Chinese characters everywhere. Large Inn firms can even settle accounts with silver bills issued by Shaofu bank. It gives people the illusion of being in a certain city in the inland of Dazhou

"Oh," Liu Yu said, "I don't know what's going on outside the city of hope?"

Mr. Lu pondered and said, "the situation is not very good outside the royal city. The farthest place I went was a village 300 miles away from the king of Xiliang. People in that place still keep their language habits and living habits. What happened in the city had no effect on them. They were indifferent to what Pei Meng carried out in the city.

Although people in these villages know that the King City has been changed to a king of Zhou Dynasty, they also say good words from King Anxi. But I'm sure that as long as someone really shouts, these people will turn into Anti thieves. What's more, they are skilled in bowing horses and familiar with the terrain, which will pose a great threat to the city of Xiliang. This time, I think that the biggest danger is not the foreign people in the western regions, but the group of people who have never been naturalized in Xiliang

"Sir, I'm afraid that those anti thieves will take advantage of the emptiness of the city of Xiliang and launch an attack, which will lead to our being attacked."

"We have to prevent it!"

"Let's catch a turtle in a jar!"

"The Lord has a plan?"

"A little plan! It's better to take this opportunity to uproot all the opposition forces in Xiliang and never suffer from it. "

"Can you do it?"

"As long as peimengken cooperates, there is a good chance of winning."

Mr. Lu deliberated, "Pei Meng, I'll talk to you. Deep down in his heart, he still hoped that Pei family could take root in Xiliang. If we can chew down a territory, Pei Meng's power will be unstoppable. It is hoped that the Pei family will take root in this land for generations to come. It has to be said that the strategy of the western regions formulated by Empress Dowager was very far sighted. "
