Pu Chao and Xie Ruyu entered the Governor's Mansion at the same time.
Xie Ruyu looked proud. After entering the governor's office, he showed Su Lu the three cities recently acquired by the Tang Dynasty.
"Brother Su, our army has won three victories in three battles and has obtained the land of Tongjin, Shuangjiang and Yulong counties. Brother Su, please send troops as soon as possible to take over the land of the three counties in exchange for Shangshan."
Su Lu shook his head: "Brother Xie, although these three counties are close to my country of Han, they belong to the territory of old General Xiahou Wei. I dare not take them. I'd better trouble Brother Xie to go back and discuss it again to see if we can take more of them."
County.”
Xie Ruyu's expression changed.
Su Lu smiled and said: "Brother Xie, don't be angry, I can't help myself.
Brother Xie, you see, although Xia Houwei has betrayed our country of Han, he was born in a general, and his disciples and old officials are deeply entangled in the country of Han. I, a small person from a poor peasant family, really have no influence in the country of Han, so I dare not offend him.
"
"Brother, thank you for taking the trouble to try a few more counties. I promise, as long as it is not Xiahouwei's territory, I will definitely consider it."
Su Lu patted the table and assured.
Xie Ruyu smiled: "Brother Su, are you making fun of me?"
Su Lu waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, brother Xie, you are thinking too much, how dare I make fun of you? The Tang State has strong soldiers and horses, and they can destroy our Han State in one battle. Even if I don't think about myself, I still have to do it for Han."
The people of the country should not consider it."
Xie Ruyu almost burst out of anger. She stood up and left in a huff. She could no longer maintain her gentle and gentle demeanor.
Pu Chao looked at Su Lu with a smile: "My lord, if you offend Xie Ruyu like this, you are not afraid that our Qin army will regret it, refuse to withdraw its troops, and will fight you to the end."
Su Lu smiled and pointed to the official certificate and seal on the table.
"To be honest, General Pu, this is the seal and official certificate of the Governor's Office of Xiting. In order to deal with your Qin State, I have ordered Kang Mazi to send it. Kang Mazi has retired and returned to his hometown, and I have taken over Xiting."
"Your Qin State is strong, but so what. As long as I retort now and agree to accept Yulin, Shuangjiang, and Jin San County in exchange for Shangshan, the Tang State will immediately turn its guns and beat you Qin State into disgrace."
First."
The smile on Pu Chao's face disappeared, and his face became a little ugly. Su Lu was right, Emperor Gao Lan of the Tang Dynasty was a madman, he would do anything for a poem, and he would accept the exchange of three counties for Shangshan at any time.
With a wry smile, Pu Chao took out the documents he brought with him:
"Your Majesty, this is the topographic map of the thirty-mile border of our Qin State. You can take it as you please. Our Qin State will never hesitate to take it."
Su Lu nodded: "Okay, within a few months, there will be a battle between our Han country and Tang Dynasty. I hope the Qin army will not stay out of it, otherwise all the treaties we signed will be invalid. Even if I risk the destruction of the country, I will
Wipe down your Qin country."
When Pu Chao heard this, a look of disdain appeared on his face: "Your Majesty, our Qin State has shown the greatest sincerity. Please, Your Majesty, don't make any mistakes."
Su Lu waved his hand: "Everyone does what he wants. Don't talk about sincerity. If our country, the Han Dynasty, cannot block the strength of the Tang army at all, your country, the Qin Dynasty, will not hesitate to pounce on us and take a piece of meat."
Pu Chao laughed when he heard this: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry. I am an old Qin man who values credibility and never goes back on his promises. How could the Qin and Han brothers draw their swords against each other?"
Zhou Yuan next to him smiled: "When General Pu said this, didn't he think about the Han people who died?
The war between you and me has lasted for hundreds of years. Tongjin, Shuangjiang, Yulin, and Shuangmiao, these four counties were originally the land of our Han Kingdom."
Pu Chao sneered: "Han's national strength is not good, and the generals who lead the army are not good. How can we fight? I really think that the war between the two countries is like children's play house. There will be a price to pay."
Su Lu waved his hand: "Okay, General Pu, let's not talk nonsense anymore. Go back and urge your young master to withdraw the troops. Don't make the same mistake as last time."
Pu Chao blushed, stood up and said goodbye to Su Lu with fists in his hands.
Looking at Pu Chao's back, Su Ping said: "Second brother, this time we have angered Xie Ruyu. Will the Tang army suddenly become angry and invade our country of Han?"
Zhou Yuan said: "No, the prince did not say anything to death, he still left a hint. Xie Ruyu can't fail to see this.
Moreover, Qin is the biggest threat to Tang, and the use of troops against Qin is the unanimous choice of the Tang monarchs and ministers. Our country, Han, is not worth mentioning in the eyes of Tang monarchs and ministers."
Su Lu ordered: "Li Kun, Su Ping, and Dong Ning obey orders."
The three of them stood up in unison: "The general will be here."
"The three of you are asked to select the soldiers as soon as possible, form three armies, and send them to Ganya, Shuangfo, and Qiuya to garrison troops and wait for military orders."
Su Lu ordered.
The three of them bowed in response, left the central hall, and went to the camp to select soldiers.
Zhou Yuan looked at the backs of the three of them and said, "Your Majesty, do we really want to go to war with the Tang Dynasty? The new army has just been formed and is not yet well-trained. If we start a war now, if we cannot stop the Tang army, then our country of Han will be in danger."
Su Lu nodded: "We, Han State, will have a battle with Tang Dynasty. The border is not maintained by treaties or agreements, but by fists and steel knives.
Qin and Tang did not want to annex our country before the opponent fell, but that was because they had the ability to block the opponent."
"Transmit my military order. From now on, the governor's office will be transferred to Xiting and stationed in Wanning. The troops in Xiting will be purged and ready for battle."
All the generals in the central hall agreed with a loud voice.
Zhou Yuan was a little worried: "My lord, since you left, will this mountain clan rebel?"
Su Lu waved his hand: "It's still late autumn now, and the mountains are high and densely forested, which is not suitable for large armies to fight. Let's wait until the severe winter. By then, the flowers will have withered. I'll see what the mountains can use to hide."
"I have organized the defense offices around the mountain, formed local warriors, patrolled closely, and built beacon towers. All places rely on each other to fight against the mountain."
Zhou Yuan nodded: "Okay, since the prince has made arrangements, I will implement them well and make sure not to let the chaos in the mountains spread."
Su Lu sat behind the commander's desk and wrote a military affairs brochure with a few strokes, handed it to Zhou Yuan and said.
"After I leave, you will be the governor of Anton. This is my recommendation book to the imperial court. You can send it to the capital immediately.
The military training of the local guards and local warriors must not stop. Once the time is right, I will personally rush back and unite the army to defeat his mountains."
Zhou Yuan hesitated: "Your Majesty, Xiting is facing threats from the Qin and Tang Dynasties at the same time. I'm afraid we won't be able to send troops, right?"
Su Lu patted Zhou Yuan on the shoulder: "What are you thinking? It is simply impossible to remove soldiers from Xiting. The unified army I am talking about is the Weifu soldiers and Xiangyong under your rule. They are the future border guards.
We have an important source of troops and they are enough to break through the mountains."
Zhou Yuan's eyes widened and he looked at Su Lu's back. He began to understand the meaning of Su Lu's words. The late autumn and harsh winter were all just to deceive him. The key point was that the time was right.
Once the Weifu army and Xiang Yong have become proficient in military training, the prince will naturally come back to lead the army.
The Qin and Tang dynasties were both big countries, and our own country, Han, was caught between the cracks in order to survive. I really don’t know whether the prince’s decision this time was right or wrong.
If we cannot hold out in a battle with the Tang Dynasty, our country, Han, may be doomed.
