A Clash of Gods Chapter 1190: Only one side
Qu Manbao's eyes twitched and his lips opened, but he couldn't speak.
"Princess, the general has left the northwest, and the entire northwest is now up to you." Daosheng said abruptly: "Dare to ask the grandfather, now that the hundreds of soldiers and horses stationed in Tongguan, do you listen to the grandfather on weekdays? Mobilization?"
Qu Manbao frowned: "You know better than me. Tongguan is my barrier in the northwest. My father said that as long as Tongguan is in hand, the northwest is in our hands. If one day Tongguan is not under our control, then the northwest It is in danger. Because of this, the soldiers and horses stationed in Tongguan are his father's confidantes. Xue Ren, who was guarding the gate, was once adopted by his father as a son. No one except the father can mobilize the guards of Tongguan."
"So if the grandson wants the letter to work, he must hold Tongguan in his hands." Daosheng whispered: "The grandfather has raised three hundred warriors under his hand. These people are desperate to the grandson. Young Master, that is to go all the way in the battle, so as to keep the soldiers for a thousand days, these batches of warriors have arrived to serve the Grand Prince."
Qu Manbao said: "You mean, use these three hundred warriors to exchange guards against Tongguan guards?"
"Exactly." Dao Shengdao said: "As long as Tongguan is in Xue Ren's hands, the general and the young man can freely enter and exit the pass. Only when the soldiers of Tongguan are replaced by their own people can the master son completely master the northwest. "
Qu Manbao was a little uneasy and said: "Dao Sheng, is this...too much? For more than ten years, Tongguan Shoubing has always been the father's business, now..... now I suddenly want to guard Soldiers change defense, my father... my father will be dissatisfied with me.
"Princess, in fact, in the opinion of his subordinates, the general is a man with great foresight." Dao Shengdao said: "The heir he wants to choose must be a peerless hero who can be the only one. Although the grandson has both military and military skills, these years There is not much war in the northwest, and there are not many opportunities for the eldest son to show his talents. Therefore, in the opinion of the general, the eldest son may not be able to be alone. But this time if the eldest son is relentless, he will adjust the Tongguan and be the few in the government. It’s not necessarily a bad thing in the eyes of the generals to be the concubine’s aunt.”
Qu Manbao walked over and sat down on the chair, reached for the hip flask, and raised his head and took another sip.
"If the eldest son feels that his subordinates speak a lot, his subordinate asks the eldest son to sin." Dao Sheng sighed: "These two nights can't sleep at night, just for the grandson's future, in the final analysis, but also for myself, If the eldest son can walk smoothly, the subordinates can naturally absorb the light of the eldest son, otherwise... the subordinates bluntly, these words detract from the brotherhood of the eldest son and the younger son, and should not be frank to the eldest son. "
Qu Manbao also sighed and said, "Dao Sheng, why don't you understand what you said, Mr. Storyteller told so many stories, for the sake of power, don't talk about brothers, and there is no mercy between father and son. "After a slight meal, I said:" Now that I think of it, Manying really seems to be very close to his father in recent years. The former father's father made a birthday, and the boy even tried his best to get a piece of Tianshi as a birthday gift, and took my limelight. It's time for the past, this kid really seems to have a bad heart."
Dao Sheng walked over, picked up the iron tongs, and grilled the stove to make the stove burn more vigorously. Then he said: "The eldest son controls the northwest, so that the general has to give you the inheritance right. Be proactive, much safer than waiting for the general to make a decision."
"You say, what should I do besides Tongguan?"
"Call the surrounding officials as soon as possible." Daosheng whispered: "Look at the tone of these people to see if they are willing to be loyal to you. If you show loyalty to you, the grandson can naturally take on the important task. , Otherwise...""
"I understand." Qu Manbao's eyes became colder: "Control the northwest, and then force his father to banish Manying, and then send assassins to start, as long as Manying is gone, the heir of the Qu family will be me."
Dao Sheng Gongtedao: "The grandson has a bright future and will surely become a generation of heroes!"
"Dao Sheng, you will give me a notice now." Qu Manbao said: "Hoard all the grains from the Xianyang Grain Store and tell those people that the battle ahead is tight. Now all the grain and grass will be disposed of by the public. When the army conquers Luoyang, they will Double the repayment. In addition, letters were sent to the surrounding officials, so that they immediately set off to Xianyang. I have something important to discuss with them."
Dao Shengzheng said: "Subordinates will do it now." He asked again: "Master, that Tongguan...?"
"My three hundred warriors immediately set off and went to change their defense." Qu Manbao said: "Let Du Yandao be a general...!"
"Princess, just let Du Yandao go, Xue Ren may not give Tongguan to him." Dao Sheng shook his head and said: "That Xue Ren's heart is arrogant, in the Northwest Army, he sees few in his eyes ."
"Don’t he listen to my orders?"
"Don't he dare not listen to the order of the eldest son." Dao Sheng smiled and said: "Just Du Yandao went, Xue Ren may not give Du Yandao a face."
Qu Manbao frowned: "Do you want me to go to Tongguan in person?"
"If the grandson is going, this will happen." Dao Sheng said righteously: "No matter how bold Du Dudao is, he will not dare to fight in front of the grandson."
Qu Manbao reluctantly said: "From here to Tongguan, it will take a few days to travel, and the weather is cold, I...!"
"Eat bitterly, only be the best." Dao Sheng said: "As long as Tongguan is controlled, the eldest son will sit back and relax."
Qu Manbao thought for a while, and then said: "Let me think about it." He took a jug and poured a mouthful, then pondered slightly, and then said: "Fortunately, Xue Ren's temper, I also know that Du Yandao is true I may not be able to cope with him. I will lead three hundred warriors to tomorrow and replace the guards of Tongguan. Du Yandao is loyal to me. He is guarding Tongguan without fail." Some worried: "I left Xianyang, There shouldn't be any problems here?"
"Princess, rest assured, throughout the northwest, who doesn't know that it is the world of Qu's family." Dao Sheng said with a smile: "The forces that opposed the imperial court have already been uprooted, and the grandson only needs a few days to go back and forth, No one can make waves."
Qu Manbao slightly said, nodding, "That's right, who dares to spread wild in the northwest." Picking up the jug, it was already empty, and laughing: "Dao Sheng, go get the wine and accompany me to drink."
In the early morning of the next day, a notice was posted on the streets and alleys of Xianyang City, instructing each grain store to pay all the grains in stock within two days. If it is due and not delivered, it will be checked by the government. It is impermissible to stolen all household wealth.
A notice immediately caused a disturbance in Xianyang City.
The Northwest Army was in battle. The people in Xianyang naturally knew it, and many people knew that the taxes collected by the father and son of the Qu family in the northwest in recent years were quite a lot. Before the Qinhuai War, the father and son of the Qu family claimed to relieve the grief of the court. Taxes are everywhere, and the people in the northwest are naturally miserable, even those gentry and powerful people also complained, but the Qu family under the flag of the court, no one dared to defy, but the real tax paid to the court, less than 30%, left Almost all fell into Qu's pocket.
The Qu family freed up a large area in Xianyang City and built a granary. Now the granary is almost full. In the words of Qu Yuanyuan, if Xianyang City is under siege one day, even if it hits three Five years later, Xianyang City did not worry about food.
People know that Qu’s family has a lot of money and food. This time the Northwest Army entered the border, Qu Yuangu didn’t make much effort to raise food. Many people felt confident that Qu Yuangu was a good deed, but this Only a short time later, the notice came down. This time it was not just for people to pay for food. Look at that meaning. They wanted to turn over all the food. The people were indignant. There were really few people who took the initiative the first day. Pay the food up.
The notice was issued, but Qu Manbao had already brought the three hundred warriors he had cultivated for many years to Tongguan, but it was not necessary for Qu Manbao to do such things himself. The following officials collected food from various grain shops. .
At sunset, Qu Manbao rides on the back of a sturdy horse. This horse is an authentic thoroughbred northwestern horse. Under the sunset, the brown temples are exceptionally compliant. Qu Manbao in a black armor matches this. The horses are very heroic.
Followed by three hundred warriors, all of them were of fine armor, armed with spears and carrying swords on their waists.
According to Qu Manbao, these three hundred warriors are authentic Northwestern Warriors. Each of them is in the role of ten. Even if they meet thousands of troops, the opponents who can kill the three hundred warriors will not stay. .
The three hundred warriors in the sunset are indeed iron horses, and they are murderous.
"Princess, there is a hillside in front, it is late, we can camp on the edge of the hillside." A gray armor will approach, "He will remember that there is water near the hillside, it is suitable for camping."
Qu Manbao looked at the sky too late, he really had no plans to hurry up overnight, nodded and said: "Du Yandao, you take someone to prepare the camp first, I will rest here tonight, I will start again tomorrow morning ."
The gray armor will say yes.
Du Yandao knew that the purpose of this trip was to change the guard against Tongguan. He wondered why the eldest son had such a decision~IndoMTL.com~ But as a guard under the eldest son, what the master said He understands the truth. If one person asks less, then the one who lives will grow longer. The eldest son's temperament is erratic. Maybe he accidentally annoys him by saying something. If so, it is better to ask less.
And this trip to Tongguan is not a bad thing for him.
After the defense change, he was the guard of Tongguan, and then he had the real power. Although he was a cron of the eldest son under these years, he had no use for it. Finally, he had the opportunity to do something. Du Yandao still thought Very happy.
Du Yandao is not a mediocrity, but also a brave man who came out of the dead. The march is not as clever as the march, but it is not weak. The three hundred soldiers are really a piece of cake to command them.
Before dark, the team had set up camp camps on the side of the hillside. In fact, there were only three camp camps that were really tied up.
The eldest son went out, not only had to live on the camp, but also had to eat and drink. In addition, the eldest son would take a bath every day, so each cavalry had to bring a few more water bottles in addition to the drinking water, and they would gather together The eldest son provides bath water.
