Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House - v2 Chapter 1125
It’s another midsummer year.
Liu Yu led 10,000 “mercenaries” to arrive at Xiliang King City.
He had cordial and friendly talks with Pei Meng, the second king of Anxi.
One is Lao Jianghu, and the other is the elder prince who was personally trained by the empress.
The two met in a harmonious atmosphere.
At the banquet, the boundaries of Chu, He, and Han were very clear.
Drink big bowls and eat big pieces of meat.
All are a group of bold and good men.
The interest is strong and the atmosphere changes suddenly.
If you put your affection aside, your brothers have to settle accounts, not to mention that they are not brothers.
“The loan from the Shaofu Bank has arrived, and the Empress Empress is indeed a believer, and she believes her words. It’s just that the king has some thoughts about the “mercenary” fees set by the Empress Empress.”
Pei Meng was the first to speak.
He kept silent about the emperor Liu Zhao. Deep down, he must be dissatisfied with Liu Zhao.
The two cousins have always guarded and disliked each other.
Liu Zhao looked down on him, how could he look down on Liu Zhao again.
In Pei Meng’s heart, he only recognized one opponent, the queen empress Gu Jiu.
For Liu Yu, Pei Meng definitely wanted to weigh the opponent’s weight first.
It is said that Qi Wang Liu Yu was taught by the Empress Empress herself. Pei Meng was very curious. Liu Yu learned how the Empress Empress did.
Liu Yu put down the wine glass, raised his eyebrows and smiled, “Is the prince planning to turn back?”
Pei Meng laughed and said, “This king doesn’t like to listen to what you say. It’s no trivial matter to send troops to the Western Regions. According to the arrangement of the queen, the court has benefited the most. But the king is asked to pay’please’ you fight. It is equal to the benefit. Yours, the benefits and money are yours, but all the consequences have to be borne by this king. What benefit has this king gained?
Except for attracting a group of enemies, it seems to be of no benefit! According to the Empress Empress, what is fought in war is money, and no war is fought if there is no benefit. This king thought left and right, where is the benefit of this king after this battle? “
Qi Wang Liu Yu seemed to smile, “King Anxi thinks this battle is boring, and can’t make money. Why don’t you give Xiliang to this king, and you take the Northwest Army to find another place. This king will bring people to fight. How about this battle, the king will bear any consequences?”
“Hahaha… His Royal Highness King Qi can really laugh.” Pei Meng laughed loudly.
Qi Wang Liu Yu also laughed loudly, “The King of Anxi may wish to seriously consider this king’s’joke.’ In Xiliang, the prince disliked this king, but the king did not dislike it. In the First Battle of the Western Regions, the prince disliked it, and this king did not dislike it either. The king is anxious for what the king is anxious about, is the king satisfied?”
Pei Meng squinted his eyes slightly and laughed, “The hero is a teenager, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, not bad. You are a queen empress who is not afraid of things and dares to bear things. It’s just that you can bear such a heavy burden with your little shoulders. ?”
Qi Wang Liu Yu lowered his eyes and smiled with cold eyes, “If you can’t bear it, you have to try it before you know it. Xiliang is a place where military strategists must contend. The importance of father and queen to Xiliang, and for many years It can be said that the layout of Xiliang is well-intentioned. Now, with tigers and wolves waiting outside, we should have cooperated sincerely to drive them together.
However, the prince turned back, and now he regrets the things that have been negotiated. This is not the attitude that should be taken when doing big things. If the prince misses the opportunity to lay out the Western Regions and win the hearts of the people for the sake of a small amount of silver, this king can only say: the prince is still old! “
哐!
A major general of the Northwest Army directly smashed the hip flask and jumped up and pointed at Liu Yu, “What are you talking about? Boy, when you were not born, we followed the prince from birth to death. What qualifications do you have to speak out.”
“Presumptuous!” Pei Meng whispered at his generals, and then said to Qi Wang Liu Yu: “It’s all a bunch of rough people. Your Highness Qi should not be familiar with them.”
Qi Wang Liu Yu chuckled, “This general, what I said just now is correct, and this king agrees. When you fought on the battlefield, this king was indeed not born. Now, when this king grows up, you are old. People feel sorry.
In addition, the king wants to warn the general that this world belongs to our young people after all. The general is old, unable to wield a sword, and can’t kill for three days and three nights. It’s better to retreat to the second line and don’t come out and scream, making people mistakenly think that Anxi Palace can’t even find a rising star who can take on the big responsibility.
This has to be worrying. When you get old, who will guard Anxi Palace? Should we expect a group of old men with gray beards to charge? Twenty years later, will Anxi Palace still have the surname Pei? “
“Shameless child, don’t want to speak wild words!” The generals of Anxi Palace were filled with righteous indignation.
The words are so terrible!
If it wasn’t for the fact that the other party was the eldest prince, he would have already rolled up his sleeves and turned him over.
Pei Meng was not angry, but full of anxiety.
Because what Liu Yu said hurt the weakness of Anxi Palace.
The younger generation is dying of talent, or they are still studying in the school, and the situation is all supported by a group of old guys.
The old guys can last five years and ten years.
Within ten years, if the younger generation fails to grow up, Anxi Palace is in danger, and Xiliang is in danger.
Especially in the current situation, when tigers and wolves are waiting outside, and foreign races are likely to attack Xiliang at any time, the Anxi Palace urgently needs to hurry up and change the old and the new.
War is the best training ground.
Whether young people can get up and be drawn to the battlefield, they will quickly draw conclusions.
Should we fight the Western Regions?
Time to fight!
It is also good for Anxi Palace.
However, Pei Meng did not want to give in easily.
He wants more benefits.
There was a quarrel between the two sides.
Pei Meng closed his eyes and rested, not at all anxious.
Liu Yu was not in a hurry.
Mr. Dou is anxious.
Facilitating the cooperation between the two parties, he will have a place in the first volume of “The Legend of Famous People”, and he will surely endure his name through the ages.
The Dou family will be honored because of him and will be passed down through the ages.
But looking at Pei Meng’s attitude, Mr. Dou knew well that now is not a good time to speak.
So, he stared at Mr. Lu.
Last year, Mr. Lu was fooled by the empress, the former Zhong Shuling went to Xiliang to persuade Pei Meng to agree to send troops to the Western Regions, accept the help of the court’s ‘mercenaries’, and accept loans from the Shaofu Bank.
The mission was completed and it was time to leave for Beijing.
Pei Meng refused to let him go. He had to wait until Liu Yu led his troops to Xiliang before Mr. Xu Lu left.
No way, Mr. Lu had to stay in Xiliang.
He was naturally at the banquet today.
Mr. Dou called his name, “Mr. Lu, say something! This cooperation is facilitated by Mr. Lu. We all want to hear Mr. Lu’s opinion.”
Everyone nodded.
Mr. Lu snorted, put down the wine glass, and said with a smile: “The two princes have disagreements on the cost of the’mercenary’, so you can talk about it. King Anxi is inconvenient on hand, so it is better to wait until after the troops are dispatched and captured after the war.” Mercenaries’ priority selection. How?”
“This, hahaha…” Mr. Dou said haha, “Mr. Lu may not know much about the situation in the Western Regions. Most of the seizures after the war are gold and silver jewelry. It’s fair!”
“Then one side and half.”
“No, no!”
“Then select in batches. Every half an hour, the two sides rotate.”
“This method is feasible.”
The generals on both sides agreed to take turns to select and capture them after the war.
In half an hour, the number of people is limited and there are not too many things that can be moved.
Both parties have the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Mr. Dou asked Pei Meng cautiously, “What do you think of the prince?”
Pei Meng opened his eyes and said, “If you don’t let this king pay, this king naturally has no objection. What does King Qi want to say?”
Liu Yu was not polite, and directly took out the list of materials he had prepared long ago, “Please be sure to prepare the materials on the list.”
Pei Meng took a look at the list of supplies, hehe sneered, “His Royal Highness really has the quintessence of a queen empress, and he is good at asking prices.”
“The prince can repay the money on the ground.”
Pei Meng was very simple, “All materials, the quantity are all halved”
“At least 80%”
“50%!”
“80%!”
Bargaining between the two sides is another round of anxiety.
In this way, a banquet abruptly generated a large-scale bargaining scene.
The price could not be negotiated, and there was a fight.
These years, bargaining has changed into new tricks.
Late at night, the banquet ended.
Each went back to the room to rest.
Liu Zheng complained to Liu Yu, “Anxi Wang is stingy, and he has to care about a few pieces of armor. I don’t want to think that we are here to help him fight, and all the benefits are his except for a little money. I think he has no sincerity. , The prince beware that he is hiding us behind you. When sending troops, be careful not to be sold by him.”
Liu Yu let out a “um”, noncommittal.
“And the generals of Anxi Palace, all of them a lot of age, I’m really worried that these old guys will be able to wield their swords on the battlefield.”
“The foundation of the Anxi Palace is the Northwest Army, and the fighting capacity is still there. Over the years, they have added nearly 10,000 troops, which should not be underestimated.”
Liu Yu’s attitude is very objective, he doesn’t despise anyone, and of course he doesn’t look high at anyone.
Liu Zheng asked: “Does the prince have confidence in this expedition to the Western Regions?”
Liu Yu looked at him, “Are you scared?”
“Who’s afraid! I’m worried that King Anxi will yawn on us behind his back and treat us as cannon fodder, and he will enjoy the fisherman’s profit.”
“Don’t worry! He dare not help.”
“Why does the prince say that?”
Liu Yu smiled, “Because Anxi Palace cannot do without the support of the court, he dare not let this king happen. So he will do his best.”
Liu Zheng seemed to understand but not.
Liu Yu didn’t give more explanations, but took advantage of this time to talk to Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu opened the door to greet him, “The old man expected that the prince would come, and he has prepared a cup of tea.”
“Mr. Yaxing.”
The two sat on the floor and chatted with tea.
“The old man came to Xiliang for more than half a year, and what I feel most is that Pei Meng is very good at civil affairs. Walking on the streets of Xiliang King City, you can hear Xiliang people speaking Chinese and using Chinese characters everywhere. Large inn and business houses , It can even be settled with the silver bills issued by the Shaofu Bank. It makes people feel like they are in a certain city in the interior of the Great Zhou Dynasty.”
Liu Yu said “Oh”, “I don’t know what is going on outside of Hope City?”
Mr. Lu thought about it and said, “The situation outside the royal city is not so good. The farthest place the old man walks is the village three hundred miles away from the royal city of Xiliang. The people in that place still maintain their language habits and live life. Habits. Everything that happened in the royal city had no effect on them. They were also indifferent to everything that Pei Meng promoted in the royal city.
The people in these villages, even though they knew that the king’s city had been changed to the prince of Da Zhou, they were also saying good things about King Anxi. But the old man is sure that as long as someone shouts, these people will become anti-thief. What’s more frightening is that they are skilled in bowing horses and familiar with the terrain, which poses a great threat to the King City of Xiliang. This time he sent troops to the Western Regions, the old man thought that the greatest danger was not the foreign races outside the Western Regions, but the group of people who had never been naturalized in Xiliang. “
“Mister is worried that those anti-thief will take advantage of the emptiness of Xiliang King City to launch an attack, causing us to suffer from the enemy.”
“Have to guard!”
“Then catch turtles in an urn!”
“The prince already has a plan?”
“There is a small plan! It’s better to take this opportunity to uproot all the opposition forces in Xiliang, and it will never cause trouble.”
“Can it be done?”
“As long as Pei Mengken cooperates, the odds of winning are great.”
Mr. Lu pondered, “Pei Meng, the old man, go to talk. Deep down in his heart, he still hopes that the Pei family can take root in Xiliang smoothly. This time, if the troops are sent to the Western Regions, if they can gnaw a piece of territory, Pei Meng’s momentum will be unstoppable. Haosheng manages it, and the Pei family hopes to take root in this land for generations. I have to say that the Western Region strategy formulated by the Queen Empress is very far-sighted.”
