Chapter 709 The enemy’s coldness
General Military Office.
Xiong Wuwo was talking to Liu Bao, Linghuyu, and Beigong Boyu. After hearing the content of the report from Xizuo, he couldn't help but look solemn.
"I got it. Go down." Xiong Wuwo raised his right hand and waved, letting Xi Zuo go down. Then he raised his head and sighed.
Liu Bao, Linghu Yu, and Beigong Boyu also sighed.
"Borrow money from the private sector and foreign businessmen to fight the war. It's a shame Wu Nian thought of it." Xiong Wuwo smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It's a path I never imagined.
The Chu Kingdom had a vast territory and abundant resources, and the Dao Lord and Emperor sat in the Dragon Court. Now the administration is corrupt, and officials exploit each other from top to bottom.
If Emperor Daojun makes a promise to borrow money from the private sector and foreign businessmen, whether he can raise 10,000 taels of silver is a question.
And Wu Nian sent word to borrow money, and in the blink of an eye he had two hundred thousand taels. If he wanted to raise money, he could raise more.
Wu Nian's prestige and credibility are truly something that the Emperor of Chu hopes to surpass.
Moreover, Huang Chu’s treasury income was only a few million taels of silver a year.
Wu Nian is really capable of what others cannot. He often has fantastic ideas, not just for fighting. He is a terrible guy.
"General, if Wu Nian borrows money to raise troops, he must go to war. Otherwise, he will not be able to pay back the money. One man in Shanhaiguan Pass cannot open it. Although we are very weak now, he can't do anything to us if we stay in the pass.
But Junyuan is in danger."
Beigong Boyu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
In a three-party competition, the weak must pull the weak and fight the strong. Now the Meng Yuan people are still very strong, but Wu Nian is occupying the offensive position.
This was the reason Chunyuan saved Wang Zhongbi last time.
They also have to find a way to help Chunyuan.
At this time, it didn't matter whether the Mongolians had occupied Liaodong or not. Killing Wu Nian first was more important than anything else.
Wu Nian has a "destiny" and can shake the foundation of Huang Chu.
"General Beigong is right. Wu Nian raised 180,000-household warriors. If he doesn't destroy the Meng Yuan people, he himself will perish. When his 60,000-household warriors become more powerful,
, that is when he sent troops to Huanglong Mansion and Guangyang Mansion."
Linghuyu nodded and agreed very much.
"Of course I know this. But you three are the only 30,000 elite soldiers under me who have combat effectiveness. I am also powerless. When the fight breaks out, I can only send troops to Nanhai Mansion to bluff and help Chunyuan reduce some pressure."
Xiong Wuwo gave a bitter laugh, then stood up, clasping his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth, gritting his teeth and saying, "Damn Wang Zhongbi, you destroyed my army."
"Of the six newly formed households of Wu Nian, more than 40,000 soldiers were originally my people. I trained them with my own hands."
"Just thinking about it makes my liver hurt."
Liu Bao, Linghu Yu, and Beigong Boyu all smiled bitterly and shook their heads when they heard this.
This is what is called making wedding clothes for others.
Wang Zhongbi, you really will not be innocent even if you die a hundred times.
"It's cold." Xiong Wuwo suddenly exhaled a long breath, returned to the main seat and sat down.
The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then they understood that Xiong Wuwo was not talking about the current weather. Although the weather was cold, wearing more clothes and burning more charcoal fires would keep them warm.
But there is a kind of cold called Wu Nian.
This Liaodong tiger is lying in the three prefectures of Liaodong. Even if it doesn't move, it can bring about the cold winter with just a few tiger roars.
When 100,000 households of Mongolian people moved south, all five prefectures in Liaodong fell. They and Xiong Wuwo had just come to Shanhaiguan to take office.
Most people in Chu State feel that winter is coming. From now on, Huang Chu may never have peace.
But they had no ego with the bears, so they didn't feel how cold it was. Shanhaiguan is the most powerful pass in the world. As long as they train their troops and horses, they can stop the Mongolian people.
Wu Nian is more fierce than the Meng Yuan people.
Not only people, but also combat power.
There are enough soldiers from 180,000 households.
At that time, the Mongols and Yuan people established ten war armies with tens of thousands of Han households in Liaodong. The total number of Mongolian and Yuan households and the tens of thousands of Han households was only 200,000 households.
But the 200,000 households of the Meng Yuan people are not as powerful and terrifying as the 180,000 households of Wu Nian.
Not to mention, the Mongolian Yuan people have now disbanded Han Wanhu, leaving only nine Mongolian soldiers of Wanhu, and two Wanhu generals have died.
The vitality is severely damaged.
Borrow money to fight the war.
You can fight a war by borrowing money.
A road never imagined.
Winter is approaching, and cold winds are blowing from the north.
"Forget it. It's useless for us to sigh and act like children now. First, we must continue to train our troops. Second, we must communicate well with the court. The food, grass, baggage, and various weapons and equipment of our 80,000-horse infantry army.
Nothing should be skimped on.”
"Only when we strengthen ourselves can we cope with the changes in the current situation. If Chun Yuan can be saved, we will save him. Wu Nian cannot be allowed to dominate Liaodong."
"Borrow money to fight, gain territory and then repay the debt. Borrow money again to fight, and then repay the debt. If Wu Nian did this, everyone around Liaodong would tremble and there would never be peace."
"If Chunyuan really can't be saved, we will stay in Shanhaiguan and not go out. I am Xiong Wuwo, so I will change my surname to Gui. It's okay to call me Gui Wuwo."
"Shanhaiguan is worthy of our reliance."
Xiong Wuwo took a deep breath, his tone was sad, but there was really no good way to deal with Wu Nian.
"I am brave and good at fighting without myself, and I am worthy of no one. I didn't expect that I would be a turtle in the end." His heart became more and more sad.
"yes."
Liu Bao, Beigong Boyu, and Linghuyu should be holding fists. The general changed his surname to [Gui]. We also changed our surname to Gui.
Guard Shanhaiguan to prevent Wu Nian from taking a step beyond the boundaries.
............
Cold winter refers to the momentum when Prince Chunyuan of the Yuan Dynasty of Meng led ten thousand households southward and swept through the thirty-two counties of Wu Mansion in the blink of an eye.
Now, it has become exclusive to Wu Nian, the Liaodong Tiger.
It’s not just the bear who feels that winter is coming.
Huanglong Mansion, Anding County.
The front yard of the Prince's Residence.
In the Nuan Pavilion, the charcoal stove burned red, dispelling the coldness of winter. But Chunyuan did not feel much warmth, but instead felt a biting chill.
He looked up at Qin Zhen and said, "Master Qin, do you know how we Mengyuan people got out of the white water and black mountains and became strong?"
Qin Zhen's mood has been very low since he was imprisoned last time. When dealing with Chunyuan, he is no longer as calm as before.
But of course he didn't dare to show it, pretending that he had forgotten what happened before, and showing that he was still calm.
After thinking for a while, Qin Zhen said: "I know. The Meng Yuan people relied on their strong physique and ferocious temperament cultivated in the white water and black mountains. They relied on war to support war, and finally swept the north and established an empire."
"That's right. We Mongolian people only know how to rob, rob money and food for food, and rob people for slavery. Before the empire was established, we were actually a tribe."
"Even after establishing an empire, plundering small tribes, hoarding food, and supplies are still our important means."
"Borrow money from the private sector and foreign businessmen?"
"It's really unheard of. When it comes to being smart, it's you Han people who have to be smart." Chunyuan sighed and said with a wry smile.
"Prince Liao praised it. It's not that we Han people are smart, but Wu Nian's whimsical ideas. Who has ever used this method of borrowing money from the people to fight wars before?"
Qin Zhen shook his head with a wry smile and said, clasping his fists as if he was ashamed.
"Wu Nian is also a Han. You Han people are indeed smart." Chunyuan shook his head and insisted on the view that Han people are smart. Soon, he shook his head again and said:
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Now Wu Nian has money and has issued food and wages. Some of the 180,000 households have stayed behind and some have gone to fight. They are hungry tigers. I'm afraid our battle is not far away."
"Hey." Mayor Qin sighed, quite helpless.
They are not human inside or outside.
Here in Meng Yuan, he felt that he was a "bat". But he had betrayed the Han people and could never go back.
It’s true, life is unpredictable.
Liaodong tiger.
You are really a freak among the Han people. How did you emerge?
