Before the barbarian invasion, the Xunyang prefect often fawned over the Minnan king.
The King of Minnan is now interceding with Zhao Xiaole through his channels, and the Governor of Xunyang can completely ignore it.
However, during his tenure, some of the leverage of the Xunyang Prefect also fell into the hands of the Minnan King.
Once the King of Minnan chooses, the fish will die and the net will be broken.
He didn't fare well either.
He didn't believe that Zhao Xiaole could hold such a big amount of sand in his eyes.
I don't believe that Zhao Xiaole can be so happy with just a few words of flattery from him that he can avoid the death penalty.
Besides, he has always been the Third Prince's man.
This has always been the biggest gap between him and Zhao Xiaole.
The King of Minnan is in a critical situation, and if he chooses to fight to the death, it will be of no benefit to him.
Although he knew that Zhao Xiaole was weakening the power of the Minnan King, he still brought the eunuchs around the Minnan King to Chang Yuan.
He dared to leave Juyongguan mainly for this reason.
He must serve as a lobbyist for the King of Minnan.
Zhao Xiaole clearly saw what he meant and deliberately kept silent, waiting for him to speak first. The prefect of Xunyang was helpless.
He stood up bravely and smiled: "Master Hou, the barbarians have invaded the hinterland of the King of Southern Fujian. Now, the King of Southern Fujian is in a hurry. He sent a letter to the Lord Hou to plead with him, hoping that the Lord Hou will send troops to rescue him in time. I don't know what the Lord Hou plans to do."
The eunuch also stared at Zhao Xiaole closely, waiting for his answer.
Zhao Xiaole pretended to mutter, "Oh, the King of Southern Fujian is actually in a hurry. You write back and tell him not to worry. The barbarians are now cut off from food and grass. As long as he can hold on for three to five days, the barbarians will definitely collapse without a fight."
"At that time, he has made great contributions to Jingyang. I will definitely go to the court to ask for credit for him."
Xunyang Prefect had a wry smile on his face, Zhao Xiaole obviously planned to watch the fire from the other side.
He didn't want to say anything more.
Anyway, just show off and do your best.
The eunuch was anxious, and quickly knelt down on the ground, crying: "Master Hou, Master Hou, my prince told me face to face that he must send troops to rescue. The barbarians are very ferocious. If the prince does not save him, the barbarians will be killed."
Southern Fujian must be washed away with blood."
Zhao Xiaole immediately frowned and said, "Prefect Chen, who is this?"
The prefect of Xunyang said, "This person is the personal eunuch of the King of Southern Fujian, Eunuch Li."
"He rushed to the military camp early in the morning and informed his subordinates that the military situation in southern Fujian was urgent. However, the decision to send troops should be decided by the Marquis. The subordinates did not dare to make the decision, so he brought Eunuch Li to Changyuan."
Zhao Xiaole nodded, "I see, but Minnan Wang can always persist for three to five days, right?"
"Could it be that the Minnan King's troops are so unbearable?"
The prefect of Xunyang smiled bitterly and said: "To be fair to the Marquis, according to the military information we just learned, the King of Southern Fujian lost a city before the barbarians attacked."
"Saihan seems to be really angry this time. As soon as the battle started, he sent Pixiu to attack the city. The soldiers in southern Fujian had no resistance at all."
When Zhao Xiaole heard this, he chuckled and said, "Send a letter to the King of Southern Fujian and ask him to hold on for a while. When I capture Bahe, I will send troops to rescue."
Bahe is very easy to capture, not to mention the small city.
There were no barbarian defenders at all.
Some are also old, weak, sick and disabled, staying there to recuperate.
Zhao Xiaole now has a large army, and taking the Ba River is as easy as drinking water and eating.
Send troops now and have dinner at Bahe in the evening.
The eunuch and the prefect of Xunyang both looked happy and asked: "Master Marquis, Bahe can be captured today."
After the two of them finished speaking, they both looked at Zhao Xiaole expectantly.
Zhao Xiaole glanced at them and said lightly: "The soldiers have been fighting for so long and are tired. Let them recharge their batteries first before sending troops to Bahe."
"As for the time, let's wait until Wang Fugui comes back!"
If Wang Fugui doesn't come back for a day, Zhao Xiaole won't send troops.
That's the excuse.
Zhao Xiaole did not want to send troops at all.
He just wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers, and use Saihan to attack the King of Minnan this time, taking the opportunity to weaken the strength of both sides.
Moreover, I don’t know how long this delay will take?
How long can the King of Minnan hold on?
The eunuch cried anxiously and burst into tears. He stepped forward and hugged Zhao Xiaole's thigh, pleading: "Master Marquis, I beg you, I can even support a few artillery pieces and a few carts of fresh bamboo. The barbarians have no food now."
, they even eat people!”
"Master Hou, I beg you, I will kowtow to you."
The eunuch knelt on the ground, fearing that his head would hit the ground so hard that it would make a loud bang.
The eunuch was already in a hurry and didn't care about etiquette at all.
The eunuch Xunyang still had a clear mind and knew that Zhao Xiaole could not send troops, so he pulled the eunuch away and shouted:
"Bold, how dare you be unreasonable to the Marquis?"
"Master Marquis, these villains don't know etiquette. I hope you can atone for your sins."
Zhao Xiaole waved his hand and asked someone to take the eunuch down.
The eunuch was naturally unwilling and even knelt on the ground to plead. Unable to hold him back, the eunuch Xunyang asked the guards to come in and take him out.
Wang Wanwan and the prefect of Xunyang also resigned immediately.
Zhao Xiaole didn't keep them either.
After Prefect Xunyang and Wang Wanwan went out, they saw the eunuch who was still crying and begging for mercy outside the door. He was dragged by the guards while struggling and going out of the door.
Governor Xunyang stepped forward and shouted: "Let him go."
The guard heard this and took the initiative to let the person go.
The eunuch rushed to Xunyang Prefect, hugged his legs and cried: "Master Taishou, you have to send troops no matter what. If you don't send troops, the prince will definitely not be able to hold on for a few days. You know how difficult the barbarian Pixiu is to deal with."
of!"
The eunuch sighed, "You have gone through so many things, how come you still don't know the temper of the Marquis Zhenguo?"
"He has a soft-spoken personality, and your request will only annoy him and will not be helpful to the war effort."
After hearing this, the eunuch quickly stopped crying and said, "Please teach me, eunuch, and show me a clear path."
The eunuch sighed, "Forget it, the King of Southern Fujian has such a loyal subordinate like you, so it means that his life should not be cut off."
"Brother Wang, when will the supervisor come back?"
Wang Wanwan thought for a while and said: "If it's fast, we can arrive tomorrow night. He also has to escort the fresh bamboo."
Governor Xunyang thought for a while, "How about this? I will send a team of cavalry to slowly escort Xianzhu and bring Wang Fugui back first. How about that?"
"There is nothing you can't do."
Wang Wanwan nodded.
Once the barbarians cause trouble in the territory of the King of Southern Fujian, they will definitely live a similar life.
If the timing of sending troops cannot be controlled, I'm afraid it will be too late in the future.
Without food, barbarians must eat people.
If Saihan slaughtered all the Minnan king's lands and wanted to regain his vitality again, he wouldn't know how long it would take for him to do so.
Although Zhao Xiaole did not say these words.
But as smart as Wang Wanwan and Xunyang Prefect, how could they not know?
They must take the initiative to do it.
Otherwise, once the barbarians cause trouble, they will be the ones who suffer.
