Chapter 1140: Response
Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he thought that the jade seal still had to be sent to Chang'an, and said, "Is there no other way besides giving it to the little emperor?"
Everyone shook their heads together, Pang Tong said: "The jade seal can be sent to Chang'an, but we must also ask for some benefits from Chang'an."
"The little emperor will definitely give you the benefits, but apart from the title, what else can the little emperor get now?" Guo Jia chuckled at the side;
"If it's a title, unless the lord is granted the title of king, there is nothing else to reward him. Moreover, considering the current situation of the lord, it is more than enough to be promoted to the king. However, if he is really promoted to the king, it will be very difficult for our Tang army. There are advantages and disadvantages to words!" Xu Shu pondered;
"Yes, in addition to this bringing us a lot of variables, there is another thing that cannot be ignored." Xun You suddenly said seriously from the side;
Huangfu Chaobo's spirit trembled, and he quickly asked seriously: "I would like to hear the details!"
"Whether the jade seal is sent or kept, the alliance between our army and Sun Cejun will no longer exist, and not only Sun Cejun, but also the relationship between other princes in the world and our army, my lord also needs to pay more attention to it!" Xun You said slowly! ;
Everyone nodded. The Sun family has always regarded the jade seal as their own. This can be seen from Sun Ce's attitude towards Yuan Shu and Cao Caojun. If Sun Ce learns that Huangfu Chaobo has obtained the jade seal offered by Yuan Yao, , with Sun Ce's character, whether he is ultimately sent to Chang'an or left in Huangfu Chaobo's own hands, he will offend Sun Ce, and then an alliance with Sun Ce's army will be almost impossible to exist.
And it is absolutely impossible to give this jade seal to Sun Ce, so Sun Ce's relationship with the army is definitely bad. Xun You's words reminded Huangfu Chaobo that he must make preparations in advance to prevent Sun Ce from suddenly turning against him, so that he would not be caught off guard.
"In fairness, how should I handle this matter?" Huangfu Chaobo asked;
Xun You already had a countermeasure. Lu Hu chuckled and said, "Didn't Yuan Yao's army have 20,000 of the most elite imperial guards this time? My lord can order Ji Ling to select a school of 5,000 soldiers from among them to form a school of heavy infantry, and then order An army of 10,000 troops with one step and one cavalry was transferred from General Huang Zhong's Shenwu Camp to Lujiang. One deputy general from the Shenwu camp, with a total of four generals and 40,000 soldiers, is enough to deal with Sun Ce's army. "
"Furthermore, the lord previously ordered General Zhou Tai to send people to Lujiang to form a navy. Now it should have achieved some success. The lord can lead the Lujiang navy to be expanded into two schools with a total of 10,000 troops. In this way, in the face of Sun Cejun's navy , at least it’s still capable of fighting.”
After hearing Xun You's words, Huangfu Chaobo's eyes lit up and he immediately looked towards Xu Shu. Xu Shu understood what Huangfu Chaobo meant and quickly said: "The one going to Lujiang is General Zhou Tai's clan brother, Navy Captain Zhou Ran. He has completed the task assigned by his lord before and has established a Navy camp in Songyang. At present, five thousand naval forces have been recruited, and except for the large-scale ships that cannot be equipped, other ships are also fully equipped. "
"Well, let's make arrangements according to Gongda's wishes. Appoint Ji Ling as the deputy general of Xuanwu Camp and form a heavy infantry force of 5,000 people. In addition, deputy general Han Xian and one school each of infantry and cavalry will be transferred from Shenwu Camp to join Xuanwu Camp. In addition, Chen Lan was appointed as the deputy general of Shenwu Camp, and the 10,000 soldiers and horses transferred from Shenwu Camp were asked to be replenished by Huang Zhong as soon as possible. "
"Ordered to promote Zhou Ran to the rank of Lieutenant General of the Navy, expand the Songyang Navy to two schools with a total of 10,000 soldiers, and at the same time find ways to mobilize at least two large ships to the Songyang Navy to enhance the strength of the Navy. . As for the officers and generals of Yuan Yao's army, as well as the 15,000 remaining imperial soldiers and their families, they have all moved to Sizhou and have been resettled and appointed!"
In a moment, Huangfu Chaobo had made a decision. He didn't have much idea about Yuxi, at least for now, but he was salivating over the civil and military generals and officials in Yuan Yao's hands. Now that they If it is delivered to your door, there is no reason why you should not accept it.
Especially Ji Ling, he was a rare general, but because he followed the wrong person, his end was not very good. According to Huangfu Chaobo's estimation, his abilities in all aspects should be comparable to Huang Zhong, Cao Ren, and Xia Houyuan. In terms of personal combat power, he is even much stronger than Cao Ren. Moreover, he has commanded a large number of hundreds of thousands of troops. Combat experience is a rare talent, which is exactly what Huangfu Chaobo needs.
As for others, in the eyes of all players, the more historical generals, the better. No one would dislike having too many historical generals in their hands, and the same goes for Huangfu Chaobo.
After arranging these, Huangfu Chaobo was still a little worried about Sun Cejun's reaction and whether the Lujiang soldiers and horses could be prepared in time, but Guo Jia was not worried about this: "My lord, you don't have to worry so much. Yuan Yao's army surrendered." Even if the news about the lord reaches Sun Ce's ears, it will take several days. Even if Sun Ce reacts quickly, he still needs to send someone to confirm with the lord first. After he knows that the lord does not want to hand over the jade seal to them, After receiving the news, even if the troops are sent out immediately, the time it takes for the envoy to come and go is not ten days and a half. "
Huangfu Chaobo thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. Even if Sun Ce sent out troops as soon as he got the news that he refused to hand over the jade seal to him, it would still take ten days and a half to prepare. By then, his troops would already be in place. .
Soon, Huangfu Chaobo's order was delivered to Zuo Chengzu through pigeons. Zuo Chengzu, who received the news, immediately summoned Shu Zhao and Huang Yi. When they learned that Huangfu Chaobo had agreed to their conditions, they were overjoyed and immediately set off to return to Yuqian County to inform Yuan Yao of the news. Lu Ling, the chief of Lujiang, also returned with them. Lu Ling also had the military order written by Huangfu Chaobo in his hand to appease Yuan Yao and other surrendered people.
On February 12, Yuan Yao led 20,000 imperial guards and a group of civil and military officials and generals to the city of Wan County. Afterwards, Ji Ling led 5,000 selected imperial guards to Shu County and joined the Xuanwu Camp. Yuan Yao led the remaining soldiers and horses to escort a group of people and the 20,000 soldiers and their families, heading towards Luoyang. They will all be settled around Luoyang.
At the same time, Han Xian, the deputy general of the Shenwu Camp, led an army of 10,000 infantry and cavalry, crossed the Huai River and marched towards Shu County. The 40,000 troops of the Xuanwu Camp would rest in Shu County for a while and then be stationed in several places to defend against possible attacks launched by Sun Ce's army.
