Chapter 973: Words are not speculative

"Yes, there is something, the envoy of the third prince came to the city, saying that he must see you, it seems that they are a little worried. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Chu Yang laughed.

"Can you not worry, the army walks under our noses every day, we don't know when we will come to strike, if you don't worry, it's strange." Long Wu also smiled, and then asked as if he remembered something, "By the way, big brother, how is the conscription now?" ”

After Long Wu was ready to borrow the way, he arranged for Chu Yang to do a good job of conscription. After all, if you want to get the most out of this melee, you can't do it without enough troops in your hands.

Today's Wolong City is no longer the Wolong Town of the past, and the population has increased from the original 500,000 to 2 million, until the current 7 million.

It is not too difficult to recruit 500,000 troops from 7 million people, and with the addition of Long Wu taking out a large number of Gangshi and various pills, naturally there are a lot of applicants.

Originally, there were more than 500,000 soldiers in the city, and after adding the 150,000 who surrendered to Cheng among the 200,000 prisoners captured by the other party in the first battle that night, it was nearly 700,000, and now adding 500,000 is equivalent to 1.2 million, which is already a large force, at least it is enough to defend the city.

"Everything went well, seeing that the military salary was so generous, and there were pills to be obtained, there were countless applicants, and at one time it reached nearly one million, and I reviewed it with the head of the Song Nian Guan family, challenged 500,000 from it, and disrupted these people into the old army, and now we also have 1.2 million soldiers available." When it came to the issue of conscription, Chu Yang naturally had an excited expression on his face, obviously he was still a little satisfied with the result now.

"Good. How's the construction of the inner city going? Long Wu's voice changed and continued to ask.

"The inner city was built very early, and now with the 50,000 captive slaves, it's almost finished, but some of the details still need to be picked out, and it will take some time to think about it."

"Very good, with the inner city, it doesn't matter if the outer city is broken, okay, now it's time to let the envoy who should go to meet Tang Yin, in this way, arrange for General Wang Yue to lead the army to practice in the city, remember, the formation must be sufficient." Long Wu had a playful smile on his face.

The envoy of the three princes was allowed to enter the city, accompanied by General Song Ai, on the way from the city gate to Wolong Mansion, the envoy saw a lot of soldiers walking on the street, and they were all in good spirits, shouting shocking, which made him a little nervous.

In the Wolong Mansion, Long Wu met with this so-called envoy, and he didn't want to be an old friend, this person was the former chief of the three princes' guards, Wuqiang, the cultivator of the Buddha.

On that day, seeing that Amutu led troops to surround the Three Princes' Mansion, Wu Qiang fled, and then lived an inhuman life, and finally learned that the Three Princes escaped from the prison and appeared in Qingfeng City.

"It turned out to be my chief of guard, don't come unharmed." After seeing that it was Wu Qiang, Long Wu had a shallow smile on his face.

But in Wu Qiang's opinion, this smile does seem to have some irony, as if he is talking about the first thing he escaped that day.

From the bottom of his heart, Wu Qiang is unwilling to deal with Long Wu, but there is no way, now the army of the three princes is in full swing, and his appetite is great, and he can eat a lot of territory if he gets it. But Wolong City has become a deep thorn stuck in his throat, which makes him uncomfortable, and even a little restless, so he must know Long Wu's plan, or surrender himself, or be destroyed by himself, in short, there must be an explanation.

"Hehe, Long Gongzi is good." I forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in my heart, and said out loud without smiling.

"Well, even if it's an acquaintance, then there's no need to be polite, let's talk about it, what did Tang Yin ask you to do?" Long Wu still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were indeed very deep, as if he could perceive people's hearts.

Wu Qiang also knew that there was no need to be polite in the face of Long Wu, either you would take out what the other party wanted, or simply turn around and leave, there was no better third way, so he said bluntly: "That's the case, the third prince sent me here this time to show his respect for Long Gongzi." ”

"I think that at the beginning, you and the third prince met in Xilai City, and you were recommended to become the principal of Wolong Town, which is enough to show that you are valued. And now that the Tang Emperor has traitors around him, the three princes have no choice but to raise the army for the future of the Tang family. And now it turns out that this approach is right, Long Gongzi can take a look, our army took two cities in one day and one night in succession, Xilai City and Yucheng, liberated more than 20 million people, isn't this a clear proof? ”

"Of course, the three princes also know that this is just the beginning, and they need the assistance and help of many people to achieve great things, and the talent of Long Gongzi is obvious to all, so this time I came to ask Long Gongzi to go out of the mountain and help our three princes to help, as long as the day it is done, I promise to make you a first-class prince, even if you have children and grandchildren in the future, you can live an excellent life, worry-free food and clothing? What do you think? When Wu Qiang said that Feng Longwu was a first-class king, his eyes showed a look of envy and jealousy.

First-class princes, in the major empires, the identity is equivalent to second only to the emperor and the prince, I don't know how many people can't ask for this kind of identity, even like Li Zhengdao just wants the identity of a prince is enough, and now the third prince opened his mouth and said that he wanted to give a prince, or first-class, thinking about it, this can be regarded as showing his sincerity.

"Finished?" After seeing that Wu Qiang talked so much, Long Wu smiled and asked.

"Yes, that's it." Wu Qiang replied with some confusion.

"Now that you're done, you're good to go." Long Wu waved his hand and said with a very casual look.

"What do you mean? How did Long Gongzi think about it, he always had to tell me, otherwise how would I reply to the third prince? Wu Qiang didn't expect Long Wu to look at things so indifferently, and he didn't even ask about the details, so he was going to bombard himself and leave, which made him really a little puzzled.

"Reply? What to reply to? It's just a casual promise of a first-class king, just want me to work for him? On the surface, it seems to be a meatloaf, but it can be said that it is just a painting cake, without any guarantee, even if it is said that it will be regretted on the day when it is really done in the future, what can I do with it? So your three princes really want to ask me for help, and you have to come up with something practical, do you understand? ”

Long Wu smiled, but his face was getting colder and colder, obviously Wu Qiang's words couldn't move him at all, what kind of seal is still first-class, but it's just a sentence. You can make a promise with a word now, and you can regret it with a word in the future, after saying it, even if it is true, Long Wu will not be rare in this position.

Long Wu's goal is to find a way to push Chu Yang to the top position, only if his own people are on the top, the day when he really needs these strengths, he can borrow his strength, and no matter who the Tang family is in power, he can't guarantee that they will help him when it is critical.

Therefore, Long Wu has only one goal, that is, only Chu Yang's ascendancy is in his interests, relatively speaking, other people's ascendancy is not enough to satisfy him, the second prince is not good, and the third prince is naturally not good.

I didn't expect Long Wu to expose the intentions of the three princes so quickly, and Wu Qiang's face couldn't help but redden.

Before coming, Wu Qiang listened to what the three princes said, and now what can be given to Long Wu is a pie that can be seen and eaten, and there is no way to do it, the three princes fled in a hurry, and there are not too many resources in their hands to use, and there is nothing good to win over Long Wu, so he can only try it with such a promise, and now the other party does not buy it, and he has no way to do it.

Knowing that what he was saying was useless, Long Wu made it clear that he didn't see the rabbit and didn't scatter the eagle, so Wu Qiang prepared to leave.

Long Wu really stopped him, and said to him very solemnly: "My envoy, I also send you a word, please tell the third prince, opening the side door for you is already my biggest concession, if you want to capture Wolong City, then you will not only not succeed, but will lose everything you have, please think twice before making a decision." Well, you're good to go. ”

Listening to the obvious warning in Long Wu's mouth, Wu Qiang's footsteps froze, and then nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, so he left Wolong Mansion and left Wolong City.

Seeing Wu Qiang leave like this, Chu Yang, who was hiding in the back hall, walked out, "Second brother, it seems that a big battle is inevitable." ”

"Well, it should be like this, but I believe that the last few words will make Tang Yin hesitate, and what we should do now is to wait for Emperor Tang to send someone, hehe, I believe they shouldn't just make a promise, there should be something practical." Long Wu smiled, obviously Wu Qiang's arrival was completely expected by him.

After Wu Qiang left Wolong City, he returned to the Three Princes and explained Long Wu's attitude clearly.

"So, he's going to fight me to the death?" Listening to the news that Wu Qiang fed back, the third prince showed a hint of hideousness on his face, obviously Long Wu's way of giving him a face made him a little angry.

"Yes, I don't think Long Wu plans to cooperate with us, and he may even beat us at any time if he doesn't get it." Wu Qiang nodded and said what he thought.

"So, if we want to achieve further victories, we have to get rid of him?" The third prince seemed to be asking, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

For this, Wu Qiang didn't dare to express his opinion casually, in Wolong City, he saw with his own eyes the neatness and majesty of the army in the city, it is not an exaggeration to say that the morale of those troops is at least not comparable to the army under the three princes.
