According to Kui Huan's instructions, Wang Zunyou took more than 1,000 soldiers and went to Wating.

These 1,000 people are all Wang Zun's henchmen, and they have been by his side for many years.

Leaving the camp and walking out of a distance, Wang Zunle stopped his horse, looked back at the camp, couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, and then knocked his feet on the horse's belly and continued to hurry.

When the team reached the north of Luoyang, two miles away, there was a small forest on the side of the road, and he asked his men to stop and rest on the side of the road, and he rode into the forest by himself, riding a horse.

After walking a little deeper into the woods, I saw a clearing in front of me, and a group of people stood in the clearing.

This group of people, led by one, is none other than Liu Xiu, and by Liu Xiu's side, there are Lai She, Cho Period, Luo You, Long Yuan and others.

Wang Zun doesn't know others, but he knows Lai.

Seeing Lai She's presence, his eyes lit up, he turned over and dismounted, walked forward quickly, and said, "Come to the doctor, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed!" ”

Lai She returned the salute and said with a smile: "General Wang, it's been a long time!" ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways, waved his hand to Liu Xiu and said, "General Wang, Your Majesty is here!" ”

Wang Zun's eyes opened so wide in an instant, his mouth opened subconsciously, and he looked at Liu Xiu with a dull gaze.

Liu Xiu is younger than he imagined, he looks less than thirty years old, with dragon eyebrows and tiger eyes, dignified appearance, handsome appearance, even if he is wearing ordinary casual clothes, he is also heroic and has an outstanding temperament.

He was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses, looked excited, suddenly knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said, "Sinner Wang Zun, knock to see Your Majesty!" ”

When Wang Zun was looking at Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu was also looking at him.

Wang Zun is in his forties, less than fifty, his facial features are not bad, his figure is quite tall, and his body is up and down, revealing the sharpness of a military general.

He took two steps forward, supported Wang Zun, and said, "General Wang is loyal to the Han family, what is the crime?"

Hurry up, please! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Zun's eyes were so red with excitement that he stood up tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "The news from Li Chi only said that the doctor was going to meet with Weichen in the forest, but he didn't ...... Unexpectedly, His Majesty also came! ”

Liu Xiu smiled and said, "General Wang, is this going to Wating?" ”

"Exactly!"

"How sure is General Wang that he can persuade General Niu to return to Han?"

This is Liu Xiu's main concern.

At present, the generals under the command of Kui Huan have the most soldiers and horses in Niu Han's hands, and if Niu Han can be successfully recruited, this campaign will be half of the success.

In front of Liu Xiu, Wang Zun didn't dare to boast about Haikou, he thought about it, and said with some heart: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is more than fifty percent sure!" ”

Liu Xiu blinked his eyes and asked with a smile: "If I go with General Wang to meet General Niu, how sure will I be?" ”

Hearing Liu Xiu's words, Wang Zun's face changed suddenly, he looked at him in disbelief, and asked with a stammer, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty wants to go to Wating with Weichen to persuade Niu Han? ”

Liu Xiu said: "General Niu has a heavy army, if he can return to the Han, I don't know how much the suffering of the soldiers can be saved, it is really the luck of the Han family!" ”

Wang Zun's heart couldn't tell what it was like, he was moved, but also appreciated and admired.

Your Majesty is indeed as Lai Xi said, a once-in-a-century benevolent monarch and holy lord, and besides, Your Majesty is willing to go to Wating with him, how much trust does this have in himself?

He swallowed his spit and asked in a trembling voice, "Could it be, Your Majesty...... Isn't Your Majesty afraid of being betrayed by Weichen? ”

Liu Xiu smiled indifferently and said: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people!" I believe that General Wang is by no means a villain with different hearts and mouths, but a gentleman who is upright and righteous! ”

Liu Xiu's words moved Wang Zun again, his heart was hot, his nose was sour, and his eye circles were red again.

He knelt on his knees, choked up and said: "Your Majesty and Wechen met for the first time, but they can trust Wechen so much, Wechen is really afraid!" For Your Majesty, Weichen will never give up! ”

As he spoke, he bowed forward.

Liu Xiu bent down again, helped Wang Zun up, and said: "General Wang is a hero of the Han family, General Wang's exploits, I will remember, and the court will also remember!" ”

Wang Zun wiped his eyes with his cuffs, took a deep breath, and said: "Your Majesty went to see Niu Han with Wei Chen, and Wei Chen is completely sure that he can persuade Niu Han, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and return to the Han." ”

Liu Xiu smiled with satisfaction.

Choshi was beside him, and said with a solemn face: "Weichen is willing to go with His Majesty!" ”

Let Liu Xiu follow Wang Zun to Wating like this, Cho is really relieved, what if something happens on the way?

What if Wang Zun changes his hexagram again when he arrives at Wating?

The trip was too dangerous.

Liu Xiu didn't think so, he waved his hand to Cho Period, and said: "Lüyang is the important place of Hanyang, and it is the place where the soldiers must fight, and there must be no loss. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Lai Shi again and said, "Doctor, you must also do your best to assist in the second situation!" ”

Lai Shi hurriedly bowed down and responded, "Oh! ”

Choshi scratched his head again and again, and whispered, "Your Majesty has to think twice!" ”

Can this Wang Zun really be trusted?

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Second situation, I have made up my mind!" ”

As he spoke, he turned and walked deeper into the woods.

Luo You, Long Yuan, Xu Ying and others followed one after another.

After a short time, they walked back from the woods, and the civilian clothes on their bodies had disappeared, and they all changed into the military uniforms and armor of the Long army.

Wang Zun was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and sighed in his heart, His Majesty is still careful! If they are all in civilian clothes in the army, it is too eye-catching, and it is easy to arouse suspicion, and now they are disguised as Longjun and mixed in the crowd, and it is difficult for anyone to see the flaws.

Wang Zun first bowed to Liu Xiu, then looked at Lai Shi and Cho Period, and said: "Doctor Lai, General Yao, please rest assured, even if Zun sacrifices his life, he will ensure the safety of His Majesty!" ”

Choshi's face was cold, he bowed back, did not speak, and said with his hand: "General Wang, the safety of Your Majesty and the rise and fall of the Han family are all up to you!" ”

Wang Zun's heart sank, and he felt a great responsibility, so he saluted again and bowed to the ground.

This time was the first time Liu Xiu and Wang Zun met, but Liu Xiu dared to follow Wang Zun, and his courage was indeed staggering.

In the past, Wang Zun had heard a lot of deeds that were too much for Liu Xiu, and he was already heartbroken by him, but now when he saw Liu Xiu himself, he was even more convinced and admired in his heart.

Compared with Liu Xiu, Kui Huan is not half a star, whether it is open-mindedness, courage, or courage, the two are not comparable.

Now Wang Zuntouhan's mind has become more and more determined.

can assist such a son of heaven, so that he can be a minister in vain.

Wang Zun entered the grove alone, and when he came out, he was followed by several 'Long Jun'.

Seeing such a scene, everyone waiting on the side of the road was stunned, but no one asked more questions, Wang Zun did not introduce the identities of Liu Xiu and others, and everyone seemed to have not seen them.

After that, the team led by Wang Zun continued to hurry, but on the way, from time to time, some people cast curious glances at Liu Xiu's suddenly appeared 'companions'.

To make a long story short, within a few days, the team led by Wang Zun successfully arrived at the junction of Hanyang County and Anding County.

If you want to cross the border between the two counties, you have to take the Chicken Head Road and the Boluo Valley, but this place has long been garrisoned by Wang Meng's soldiers and horses.

Hearing the news of Wang Zun's arrival, Wang Meng looked dazed, wasn't Wang Zun by the king's side, why did he suddenly come here?

At the entrance of the valley, Wang Meng greeted him, and when he saw Wang Zun, he bowed his hand and asked, "Brother clan, are you ...... Why did you come to Chicken Head Road? ”

Wang Zun returned the salute and said, "I am going to Wating to transfer troops this time. ”

"Troop transfers?

What kind of soldiers? ”

Wang Meng's face was full of puzzlement.

Wang Zun sighed lightly and said: "The king led the army to attack Luoyang, the war was unfavorable, and he couldn't attack for a long time, so he wanted to borrow some more soldiers and horses from Gongsun Shu, but Gongsun Shu refused, there was no way, the king had to send me to Wating to find General Niu to draw some soldiers and horses." ”

"I see!"

Wang Meng frowned and asked, "Is it difficult to fight the enemy army that captured Luoyang?"

I heard that the number of enemy troops is not very large! ”

Isn't it just a 20,000-strong Han army?

There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under the command of the king! "Lüyang is already a city with high walls, and there are still a lot of grain, grass and materials hoarded in the city, and now all of them have fallen into the hands of the Han army, and it is really not easy for our army to capture Lüyang!"

Wang Zun shook his head and said.

When Wang Meng heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head again and again, and sighed: "At the beginning, Luo Yang was really careless! ”

"Who's to say it isn't!"

Wang Zun also pretended to sigh.

He raised his eyes to look at the sky and said, "It's not early, I have to rush to Wating today, I can't talk to you anymore!" ”

Wang Zun and Wang Meng are not only ministers of the same palace, he is also a relative of the same clan, and now Wang Zun is passing by his land, whether it is public or private, Wang Meng cannot just let Wang Zun pass.

Wang Meng Zhengse said: "Brother clan came from afar, if I don't fulfill the friendship of the landlord, I can't say it!" It's still early, and the clan brother has to finish his meal before leaving anyway! ”

Wang Zun is reluctant to stay for dinner, Wang Meng is not an idle person, extremely smart, shrewd, and the city is quite deep, now His Majesty is by his side, if he sees a flaw, it will be a big deal.

He waved his hand and said: "The war in Luoyang is urgent, and the king is so anxious that he is bedridden, I can't delay time anymore!" ”

Wang Meng was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "Is the king sick?"

What is the condition? ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that I'm in a hurry and coughs badly!"

"Oh!"

Wang Meng replied and said, "Brother Clan, it's not too late to go to Wating, let's leave after dinner!" ”

As he spoke, he took Wang Zun's arm and walked towards the valley, and said at the same time: "When the clan brother goes to Wating, there will be no good food to eat!" ”

Wang Zun looked at him puzzled.

Wang Meng smiled and asked, "Brother clan, do you know how many soldiers and horses Niu Han has in his hands now?" ”

"I heard that there are thirteen or forty thousand!"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

Wang Meng shook his head and smiled, and said: "Your Majesty gave Niu Han the right to conscript soldiers during the war, Niu Han is really full of conscription, the original 100,000 soldiers and horses, has become the current 150,000, can distribute the grain and grass in the past, or 100,000 heads, the extra 50,000 people, what to eat?"

What to drink? ”

Wang Zun suddenly realized, yes, Kui Huan only gave Niu Han the right to recruit soldiers, but he did not give him more food and grass, and he didn't know if Kui Huan deliberately did not give it, or forgot about this.

Wang Meng continued: "Now, Niu Han comes to me twice in three days to borrow grain and grass.

I heard that the soldiers under Niu Han's command can't afford to eat dry food, so they can only drink mush! ”

Wang Zun frowned and said, "Ru Qing is confused! ”

When there is a shortage of food and grass, so many soldiers and horses should not be recruited.

Wang Meng smiled and said: "So, the clan brother can eat enough with me, and after going to Wating, it will be difficult to eat again!" ”

"You didn't lend grain and grass to Ruqing?"

Wang Meng shrugged, spread his hands and said, "The soldiers under my command also have to eat!" If I lend him grain and grass, what will my soldiers eat? ”

Liangzhou is not a rich state, grain production is limited, and Kui Huan can feed hundreds of thousands of troops, and the food is really not enough.

Even though the autumn harvest had just passed, the grain and grass in Kui Huan's hands were still abundant, but the amount of grain and grass he gave to each army was fixed, and if he ran out of food, he would only be hungry next.

Wang Meng and Niu Han's friendship is very ordinary, and even some don't like each other, how could Wang Meng give his grain and grass rations to Niu Han?

Moreover, Wang Meng also plans to watch Niu Han's jokes! He and Niu Han are both generals, but Niu Han can command 150,000 troops, but he can only command 60,000 troops, the gap is too big.

Since you Niu Han is so capable and can command so many soldiers and horses, you can find a way to raise them yourself, don't expect me to distribute food to you!
