On the official road outside Jinyang, an ordinary carriage was mixed in with countless vehicles and pedestrians, heading all the way towards Jicheng. The doors and windows of the carriage were closed, but sitting inside was Gao Yuan, who should be in Jinyang at the moment. It stands to reason that the Jinyang army is currently fighting the Qin army in Hangu Ci. As the king of a country, Gao Yuan should be supervising the battle. However, at this moment, the king's chariot is still in Jinyang, but Gao Yuan is dressed in plain clothes and only brings Some personal guards left Jinyang.
"Your Majesty, do you think Lu Chao will agree?" He Weiyuan asked worriedly in the carriage. "They just defeated us, and they must be very proud now, but we actually asked them to hand over the Lubin Fortress area to us. This is equivalent to taking off the armor of Hangu Pass."
Gao Yuan was leaning against the wall of the carriage, holding in his hand the latest issue of Dahan Weekly, which contained reports on the recent defeat of the Han army. However, it is obvious that Gao Yuan has no interest in this front-page headline, and is more focused on relevant economic information from various places.
"It seems that our harvest this year is better than last year." He praised the newspaper with satisfaction, "The statistics for the second quarter have increased by 20% compared with the same period last year. This is a good sign, especially The land of Qilu has been developing at an extremely fast rate in the past year. It seems that it won't be long before they can surpass the traditional wealthy areas such as Dayan, Langya, and Yuyang, which means they will succumb to Jishi County. "
"Your Majesty." He Weiyuan was a little dissatisfied with Gao Yuan's attitude at this time. He had obviously suffered a huge defeat and yet it was published in newspapers. Dahan Weekly is now distributed across the country. Both Qin and Chu also collect such newspapers and take them back immediately. This person, But it was a huge loss. "I don't know what Director Huo from the Propaganda Department does. How can he openly publish this kind of news in the newspapers? It should be suppressed."
Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Why are you suppressing it? Now that Han merchants are all over the world, how can you hide this news? On the contrary, the more you hide it, the more everyone will guess, and maybe it will fail. When the time comes, It will be exaggerated to you, which will really cause panic. "
"But the report in Dahan Weekly obviously deviated from the facts. We only suffered a slight defeat, and the losses were not very large. As mentioned above. But our entire division is gone." He Weiyuan said angrily Slapping the floor.
"Oh, you mean this, this is what I asked them to exaggerate the facts." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"Why is this?" He Weiyuan asked puzzledly.
"We have to reassure those who are interested. We have suffered such a big loss, so naturally we want to come back with revenge. The battle at Hangu Pass is about to break out!" Gao Yuan laughed.
He Weiyuan blinked, not understanding it for a moment. He shook his head for a while. I can't always keep up with the king's thinking, so I'm too lazy to use my brain.
"Your Majesty,
Do you think Lu Chao will agree? In my opinion, he will not agree. "He Weiyuan said.
"If Lu Chao was a simple military general, he would naturally not agree, but he is not, so he will agree. Lu Bin is ours, for sure."
"But in this case, Hangu Pass will be directly exposed to our military front." He Weiyuan was puzzled.
Gao Yuan put down the newspaper in his hand, "Because Lu Chao's focus is not here now! If he doesn't agree, I really want to attack in a big way. If he gives Lu Bin to me, I promise him that within two years, I will never Don’t attack Hangu Pass.”
"He believed what you just said?" He Weiyuan felt a little weird.
"Yeah. He must believe that we were brothers once!" Gao Yuan laughed.
He Weiyuan listened to this incredible answer and shook his head intuitively. Well, since I don’t understand, I stopped asking and looked at the newspaper on the floor. I happened to see the report about the defeat of the 20th Army, and I became angry again, "Li Mingjun really doesn’t know how it happened. As for the twenty artillery pieces, even if they fail, they should all be destroyed. How can we let the enemy take away this important military weapon?"
"Don't worry, what will happen if you take it away? Could they be able to build it? Think about ourselves, how long did it take to build this thing?" Gao Yuan disagreed.
"But they moved the artillery to the top of the city. When we attack the city in the future, we don't know how many casualties we will pay?"
"Do you think it is easy to set a C artillery?" Gao Yuan asked: "Do you know how much powder is loaded at a time? Do you know the procedure for firing an S artillery? Do you know how long it takes a qualified gunner to train? ?”
He Weiwu was a little surprised. He really didn't know this.
"So even if these things get into Lu Chao's hands, they won't be able to exert much power. There are only ten cannons. Let Lu Chao see them freshly." Gao Yuan spread his hands.
"Hey, I always feel uncomfortable!" He Weiyuan sighed.
"Soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and battlefields are fought. Even if there is a general who is victorious in every battle, we must also get used to failure. Small local defeats do not affect our overall situation." Gao Yuan said with a smile. "Cao Tianci should have arrived at Hangu Pass by now, and then Lu Bin will be in our hands, right?"
"That's true!" He Weiyuan laughed.
When the carriage was facing the rising sun and heading towards Jicheng with the crisp sound of hoofbeats, Cao Tianci was already sitting in Lu Chao's study. The two of them sat opposite each other across a table, looking at the picture opposite Lu Chao couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the young and energetic face.
When I left Fufeng and began to study with my master, the person in front of me was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was just a follower of Gao Yuan. More than ten years later, the dark and skinny child could now be upright and upright. Sitting in front of him and discussing military and national affairs with him, I would never have thought of such a thing back then, even in my dreams.
Cao Tianci is the Minister of Police of the Han Kingdom. He is responsible for domestic security and controls all the police. He is also the spy chief of the Han Kingdom. He can be said to be one of Gao Yuan's most trusted confidants. He is indeed qualified to sit alongside him.
"I wonder why Mr. Cao came to Hangu Pass this time?" Lu Chao asked, looking at Cao Tianci opposite who looked very relaxed. "Our two armies are currently at war!"
"It is true." Cao Tianci nodded, "General Bu Lu, do you really hope that our two armies will continue this kind of war? The first one can only be regarded as a small fight, and further down, there will be a move. For real.”
"Then what's there to be afraid of!" Lu Chao leaned back slightly, "Are we afraid of being serious? You know we just defeated you, Minister Cao, have you seen those artillery in the yard?"
Cao Tianci turned his head and looked through the window at the two artillery pieces placed in the yard, "This is the latest weapon developed by our man. It is indeed sharp. General, you only have two in front of you. Have you seen hundreds of these?" The scene when the cannons roared together? "
Lu Chao's face froze.
"I have seen it. I had cotton stuffed in my ears at the time, but I was still shaken to the point of buzzing in my ears and dizzy. A city wall target that we specially reinforced no longer existed after the smoke cleared. "Cao Tianci said calmly.
"Are you threatening me?"
"I don't dare, I'm just telling a fact."
"Artillery is indeed a sharp weapon, but its shortcomings are also very obvious. It is not invincible. Minister Cao, now I can list at least ten combat methods that will prevent your artillery from exerting its power. Do you believe it?" Lu Chao said coldly.
"Believe it, why don't I believe it?" Cao Tianci laughed, "But as long as he starts chirping, he will be able to exert his power, right? General Lu, I believe deep down in your heart you don't want to fight this war with us. Now Your thoughts are not here, otherwise, you would not just send 10,000 reinforcements to Lu Bin. Of course you know that a victory like the last one can never be repeated, and Xu Yahua cannot replicate it again. "
"Are you relaxed?" Lu Chao said contemptuously: "Where are your Donghu Cavalry Division and Xiongnu Cavalry Division? Where are Ding Wei and Yan Haibo?"
"General Lu is really well-informed. Yes, we have a little trouble, but these troops are enough. General Lu, unless you want to fight us in Lubin, you also know that Lubin must be If we can't defend it, we still have enough troops in Jinyang, but you must be ready for everything now, and you only need Dongfeng, right? If we cause trouble for you at this time, how can you feel free to do such a thing? ?”
Lu Chao's expression changed slightly.
"We have a general understanding of what the general wants to do in Xianyang, so our appetite is not big. We only want Lu Bin, because our king also wants to see the outcome of this drama directed by General Lu!" Cao Tianci He laughed and said, "So, if General Lu withdraws Xu Yahua's troops and allows us to peacefully accept Lu Bin, we think it will be the best outcome. Xu Yahua is a general under the general. You will never watch his troops be defeated by us. Well! The result is the same, isn’t it good for both parties?”
Lu Chao laughed, "Does Gao Yuan think I am a three-year-old child? If I gave up on Lubin, I would directly expose Hangu Pass to you. Then what I have done in Lubin in the past two years will be in vain." , is it really a joke that he thinks I can give up on Lu Bin with just a few words?"
"This is definitely not a joke." Cao Tianci slowly took out a thick letter from his arms and placed it in front of Lu Chao, "This is a personal letter from our king to you. Can you please read this letter?" Let’s talk about it later, okay?”
Lu Chao stared at Cao Tianci for a long time, then slowly picked up the letter, tore open the envelope and unfolded the letter paper. As Lu Chao read each piece of letter paper and put it down, the look on his face became more and more serious. It gets more and more exciting. To be continued. I am the king
