Cheng Jing lowered his eyelids in thought, analyzing clearly. "If it's not Xu Bei, then it's Xu Fei. It can't be anyone else. They've brought the most troops, a hundred thousand elites. They're much better than the loose fishes of the alliance. If the leader of the alliance isn't born among them, I'm afraid they won't be satisfied. If they leave in a fit of pique, the alliance will only exist in name … then we'll fall into the enemy's trap. "
Four hundred thousand troops from the alliance sounded majestic, but in reality, half of them were idle people who only knew how to cheer. They were just there to make up the numbers.
As for the other half of the elites, the Xu brothers made up sixty percent.
If they left, what was the point of rescuing the emperor?
Speaking of troops, Huang Song was depressed.
Actually, the candidate he favored the most was Liu She. Liu She was old, had enough prestige, official status, and a good family background. He was definitely more reliable than the two brats from the Xu family. However, Liu She did not play by the rules. He was the magistrate of Chongzhou, but he only brought 20,000 soldiers with him to rescue the Emperor!
One had to know that even a young man like Huang Song had brought along 25,000 yuan in assets.
Someone asked why Liu She brought so few people. Wasn't it embarrassing?
Liu She smiled and choked the person back.
"I am the governor of Chongzhou. The safety of the people of Chongzhou is the most important. Chongzhou is a bitterly cold place, bordering the three tribes of the Northern Borderline. The barbarians of the three tribes eyed the hinterland of Dongqing covetously. If a large number of troops were mobilized to rescue the emperor, the Northern Borderline would take advantage of the situation and attack the borders of Chongzhou, what would happen? Although rescuing the emperor is important, there are priorities. I think that national defense is the most important, and everything else is secondary. "
Look, this scene was beautiful. Who would dare to mock Liu She for having fewer troops?
Huang Song and Cheng Jing returned to the tent. Feng Jue was buried in his work. Hearing the commotion, he looked up and saw the two enter one after another.
"Lord and Youmo are back. What's the news?"
The two shook their heads.
Huang Song said, "Liu She is too cunning. No wonder he used to be the Chief of Hu County. He's not easy to deal with."
Feng Jue listened to the two's description and frowned in thought.
"I'm afraid you've forgotten someone."
Confronting Liu She head-on was asking for trouble.
To drag this old fox into the water, there was no need to confront him directly.
"Who did you forget?" Cheng Jing asked.
"Liu Xi."
Feng Jue sneered and spat out the name.
Huang Song shook his head like a rattle.
"This won't do. If I drag Liu Xi down with me, this father and son pair will not forgive me."
Feng Jue explained, "That's not what I meant."
Cheng Jing frowned. He seemed to understand Feng Jue's plan.
"You mean, if the alliance … or the two Langjuns of the Xu family can't compete, they can turn around and support Liu Xi?"
Feng Jue nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I meant. If Xu Bei and Xu Fei are unable to compete, it will definitely affect the unity of the alliance army. When the time comes, the morale of the people will falter and Prince Changshou will have his way. Since that was the case, they might as well let Liu Xi become the Alliance Leader while they were fighting over it. Although Liu Xi was a district magistrate, he was ambitious. All of Wanzhou was probably in his hands. With just Wanzhou, in addition to Chongzhou and Hu County in Liu She's hands, what power in Dongqing could go against them? Even if the two Langjuns of the Xu Family are unwilling, they have no choice but to bow their heads. "
Huang Song thought about it and agreed that it was a good idea.
However …
He was a little timid. He shrugged his shoulders and frowned bitterly.
"I'm afraid that Liu Xi will strangle me."
The two of them were fair-weather friends. They hadn't seen each other for many years. After reuniting, they schemed against Liu Xi. He was really afraid that Liu Xi would press him to the ground and beat him up.
Feng Jue and Cheng Jing looked at Huang Song silently. Their eyes were filled with an unfathomable light.
They seemed to sympathize with him, but at the same time, they seemed to be embarrassed.
My lord, do you dare to be even more timid?
The three of them had planned it well. Everything was ready except for Liu Xi's arrival.
They never expected that Liu Xi was indeed Liu She's biological "son."
As the father, he had brought 20,000 troops to protect the emperor.
As the "son," he was even more shameless. He had brought 10,000 troops to watch the show.
Liu She and Jiang Pengji had the same idea. Anyway, their son (father) would bring more people. They wouldn't force themselves.
Of the 10,000 troops that Jiang Pengji had brought, 6,000 were elites. The remaining 4,000 were new soldiers who had only trained for a few days. Their combat power was mediocre.
Jiang Pengji finally brought 10,000 troops and finally arrived at the location of the alliance meeting — Huangshui.
The sickly Feng Zhen was frozen like a quail. He clung to the carriage and refused to get out.
Yang Si sneered at him. "Look at how useless you are."
Although he said that, Yang Si's actions were very honest. He didn't want to get out of the carriage and ride a horse.
Seeing the two men so timid, Jiang Pengji raised her eyebrows and mocked them indiscriminately.
"Look at how useless you are."
The weather was nice, but the two of them were still huddled in the carriage and refused to get out. They even had to eat in the carriage. Jiang Pengji couldn't stand it anymore.
Yang Si said, "I'm old. I'm not as vigorous as young people."
Feng Zhen said, "I'm already half a foot in the grave. Please take pity on me, my lord."
Very well, the two strategists had successfully disgusted Jiang Pengji and driven her away.
After Jiang Pengji rode away majestically on Little White, Feng Zhen snatched the hot water from Yang Si's arms.
"You're fighting with a sick person. Yang Jing Rong, you're regressing as you age."
Yang Si wasn't someone who would wait to be captured without putting up a fight.
"You said you were sick, but now you're full of vigor. Who would believe that you're a sick person? In terms of age, I'm older than you. You have to respect your elders. "
"Then why don't you love the young?" Feng Zhen was flustered and exasperated.
Listening to the commotion coming from the carriage, Jiang Pengji secretly rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Why had she asked Feng Zhen and Yang Si to follow the army?
The two of them were good individually, but when they were put together, they produced a subtle chemical reaction and kept on making noise.
The two of them were almost 60 years old together, but they were still so frivolous.
While riding on Little White, she scanned the bullet screen in the livestream room, intending to find some fun in it.
The idle audience was still the idle audience. The bullet screen was full of fun.
Ye Wushanmu: "It's so boring. I can only watch the two strategists love and kill each other every day to pass the time."
Fake Mud Doll: "# Cheeks, Bili Bili already has Yang Si and Feng Zhen's food. You're welcome to try it."
Shu Shan Ya Li: "You evil cults look at people with rotten eyes. I feel that the two of them are walking further and further down the road of clowns."
Que Sang: "That's their personalities. If it were Feng Jin, Wei Ci, or Xu Ke, the atmosphere would probably be cold. "
Laosiji Lianmeng: "Are you so idle that you need to play CP to pass the time? Speaking of which, when will we arrive at Huangshui? "
Guicai Guofengxiao: "Same question. Let's wait while we knock on the bowl." If they didn't arrive at Huangshui, Yang Si and Feng Zhen's public image would collapse.
Jiang Pengji looked down at the topographic map. According to the directions on it, there was still half a day's journey to Huangshui.
After a while, scouts galloped over on horseback.
"My lord, there are scouts from unknown forces ahead."
