Chapter 311: Intention (II)
Yuan Fang touched his chin and groaned for a long time, thinking about what to do in his heart, and from time to time he glanced at the treacherous and cunning Chang Xun, but he couldn't figure out what this old guy wanted to express. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 After a while, Yuan Fang finally spoke, smiled and said: "General Wuhua, I'm curious, you and I have been at war for a few months now, and there are casualties on both sides, how do you think we should cooperate under such a premise?" ”
Wu Hua said disapprerovantly: "Your Highness, it is inevitable that there will be casualties in the big tent, for so many years, haven't our two countries been like this, in the words of His Royal Highness the Prince, war is just a means to seize benefits, if the benefits are enough, then a little loss is nothing." ”
Yuan Fang slapped his thigh: "That's right, I really want to meet His Royal Highness the Prince of your country." ”
Wu Hua felt that His Royal Highness's words were recognized, and he also felt honored, and said with a smile: "If Your Highness is willing to continue to cooperate, you will see us go to Your Highness, and I believe that His Royal Highness the Prince is also willing to meet His Royal Highness." ”
Yuan Fang pondered for a moment: "To put it mildly, now that our side has taken the lead and occupies an absolute advantage, if we want to cooperate, does General Wuhua have to show enough sincerity?" ”
Wu Hua retorted: "Your Highness's words are wrong, although your army has a slight upper hand, but this is the border of the empire that I would rather have, whether it is a coastal county or Yunfu County, there are a large number of troops hoarded, and the reinforcements from the two counties have arrived, I believe that the advantage of your army will no longer exist." ”
Chang Xun snorted coldly when he heard this: "Do you think your little reinforcements can get here smoothly?" ”
Wuhua looked at Chang Xun in surprise, he could hear the meaning of Chang Xun's words, the Eastern Saint Empire still has a backhand, is it because they want to encircle and send reinforcements if they stop but don't attack now? This is Wuhua's guess. Wuhua remained silent: "The two armies are at war, and it is difficult to say whether they will win or lose until the last moment, General Chang, what do you say?" Chang Xun snorted coldly, noncommittal.
Yuan Fang said a little impatiently: "General Wuhua, let me see your sincerity, how to cooperate, what benefits I can get, and what obligations I have to bear, let me make it clear first, I am not satisfied with the previous conditions." ”
Wuhua nodded again and again: "Of course, before cooperating with His Royal Highness the Second Prince of your country was to help him seize the throne, but now that the second prince is dead and the eldest prince is dead, His Royal Highness is naturally the only heir to the throne of your country, so we will no longer cooperate with His Royal Highness on this condition." ”
Yuan Fang's heart sank, he had suspected the true purpose of this war before, and guessed that someone was secretly colluding with the Ningyuan Empire, and now Wuhua confirmed this, and what surprised Yuan Fang even more was that person turned out to be the second prince.
Yuan Fang and Chang Xun glanced at each other, turned their heads and asked with a smile: "Then what does His Royal Highness the Prince of your country mean?" ”
Wu Hua hesitated for a moment and said: "We have some understanding of Your Highness's current situation, the Prime Minister of your country has the sole power, and it is not easy for Your Highness to inherit the throne. ”
Yuan Fang asked curiously, "For example?" ”
Wuhua replied: "His Royal Highness the Prince knows that His Royal Highness is now short of armaments, and we are willing to provide His Highness with food and grass supplies. ”
Fang chuckled and said, "That's it? If that's all there is to it, I don't think there's any need for us to talk about it. ”
Hearing this, Wu Hua hurriedly said: "Not only these, but also, we can send troops to cooperate with His Highness to recapture the lost territory of Nanzhou, so that His Royal Highness can free up his hands to wield the army in Zhongjing, return strongly with outstanding merits and force, and inherit the throne. ”
Yuan Fang didn't expect that the prince of the Ningyuan Empire would actually think of going with him, this was completely a routine of seizing power by force.
Yuan Fang narrowed his eyes: "Cooperate with the reconquest of lost territory?" Then I want to ask, what are the benefits of doing this? ”
Wuhua hesitated for a moment and said: "Then it depends on His Highness, if His Royal Highness the Prince succeeds to the throne, please also ask His Royal Highness to send troops to contain some of the troops, that's all." ”
Yuan Fang scratched his head: "What do you mean?" ”
Wu Hua froze for a moment, and saw that Yuan Fang's expression was not pretending to be this reaction, it turned out that this product did not know the cooperation between the second prince and His Royal Highness the Prince before, otherwise it would be impossible not to understand the meaning of His Royal Highness the Prince.
Wuhua was annoyed, and was actually deceived by this kid, but now there is no other way, fortunately, the other party is obviously inclined to cooperation, so he explained a little vaguely: "Of course, it is mutually beneficial." ”
Yuan Fangluo understood what Wuhua meant after thinking about it, nodded slightly and said: "This matter is very important, I need time to think about it, in this way, General Wuhua will temporarily rest with me for one night, and I will give you an answer early tomorrow morning, of course, if there is any change in your army during this time, it will not be good if there is any misunderstanding." ”
Wuhua thought about it, nodded and agreed, and found his subordinates first under the 'escort' of a team of female soldiers, and asked them to go back and tell His Royal Highness the matter here, and then follow the female soldiers to answer the battalion and wait for a response.
As soon as Wuhua left, Yang Xing walked into the big tent, and as soon as he came in, he shouted: "Boss, when you said that someone colluded with the Ningyuan Empire, I still didn't believe it at the time, damn, it turns out that all this was made by that second goods." ”
Yuan Fang smiled and said: "I knew that you kid had to come and eavesdrop, you heard what that Wuhua said just now, what do you think?" ”
Yang Xing pouted and said: "They want to be beautiful, they still want to cooperate and dream after killing so many of us, anyway, we are winning now, isn't their prince over there, catch it first." ”
Yang Xing was indignant, but he didn't get a response, seeing that Yuan Fang and Chang Xun were frowning, Yang Xing was surprised and said, "You don't really want to cooperate with them, do you?" Boss, don't forget that your sister-in-law died at their hands, don't you want to avenge your sister-in-law? ”
At the mention of Xia Liang, Yuan Fang's heart ached, and he forced the impulse of revenge in his heart to pull Yang Xing to sit down, and said softly: "Yang Xing, their prince has a sentence that is very right, war is just a means to seize benefits, as long as there are enough interests, there is nothing that cannot be resolved." I really want to avenge Xia Liang and those dead soldiers, but now is not the time, and I don't want more people to make senseless sacrifices because of hatred. ”
Yang Xing was anxious when he heard this: "Boss, how can it be a senseless sacrifice, dying on the battlefield, that is the glory of a soldier, didn't you say so at the beginning?" ”
Yuan Fang motioned to Yang Xing to calm down: "If I can, I hope to cooperate with His Royal Highness the Prince temporarily, listen, it's just temporary." ”
