Chapter 203: The Hulao Conspiracy (10)

At this time, no one noticed the solemn atmosphere in the Qin King's camp. After all the generals went out, the Qin King looked quietly in front of the defensive battle maps around Luoyang. His hand couldn't help but point at the Liangzhou Army camp in the direction of Hulao, staring at it tightly.

The King of Qin didn't know how long he had been looking at that place, but finally he drooped his hand powerlessly.

Today, Yuchi Jingde led his army away from the surrounding area of ​​Hulao, and at this time, only the Liangzhou army was guarding Hulao. However, the King of Qin was not considering whether he should arrange his troops in Hulao area, but what Yuchi Jingde reported to him today. The Liangzhou army and Yuchi Jingde army were tense, and the war between the two sides was about to begin. Although Yuchi Jingde repeatedly said that the Liangzhou army would never dare to use force against him, the King of Qin did not think so.

"Liangzhou Army." The King of Qin couldn't help but recite the name in his heart.

"Your Highness, someone asks for a visit!" Just after the King of Qin pronounced the name, the guards outside reported to the King of Qin.

"I didn't say that no one saw me!"

"Your Highness, the person who came claims to be your master, and he also came to our military camp last time." As soon as the guards finished speaking, the King of Qin had turned around and asked the guards to invite the people in quickly.

The person who came in was old and his temples were covered with white frost, but only when he looked at the look and expression of the person, he knew that the person who came was definitely not the kind of old and useless person. The ancients often said that Lian Bo was old and could still eat, but the person who came did not need to look closely, and he could tell that he was not an ordinary person just by looking at it.

The guards were brought to him and had already gone out at the sign of the King of Qin.

"Please sit down by mentor." Although the King of Qin was full of thoughts at this time, he still respectfully asked the person to sit down when he saw the person. But after hearing the King of Qin's name, this person's identity was the King of Qin's eldest teacher.

"Depending on your worry, Luoyang is only in your control at this time, and the Xia Wang army in Hulao is restrained by Liangzhou army. The entire battle situation in Luoyang is only in your control. It is only a matter of time before Luoyang is captured. Why are you like this?" Although the King of Qin looked respectful to the visitor, the worry on the King of Qin could not hide the other party's eyes. At this time, the King of Qin had no intention of hiding the other party, and the person who annoyed him also had an unusual relationship with his mentor. Moreover, this person went to Liangzhou and was recommended by his mentor.

"My teacher, I'm not to hide it. What I am worried about at this time is the Liangzhou Army." As soon as the King of Qin said, the expression of the person on the opposite side could not help but change, but then the expression of the person on the opposite side had returned to normal.

"Liu Shan?" But he couldn't help asking.

"It's my good junior brother who almost fought with my men today." Although the King of Qin's words were very plain, it was like talking about ordinary family matters with his mentor, as soon as the King of Qin said, both the King of Qin's mentor and the King of Qin themselves couldn't help but be shocked.

"This is impossible. How could Liu Shan fight with your men? There must be some misunderstandings in the middle. Although Liu Shan has not been with me for a long time, I can still see some of my disciples, so there must be some misunderstandings in the middle." The person who came was Meng Zhang, the village chief of Mengjiagou, who was also Liu Shan's master and the master of Aunt Yun's three precious disciples.

"Mr., if we had a conflict between the two armies before Hulao Pass today, I wouldn't be so worried. After all, I didn't tell Liu Shan in advance that Liu Shan had a misunderstanding. However, today I received a news report from Liangzhou that Liangzhou would open the border and trade with the Turks. Such things can be big or small. If it is big or small, it is possible to confiscate the house and exterminate the clan, and if it is small, it can be used as a stopgap for the border crisis. Moreover, our army has recently been recently.

There is some difficulty in supplying grain. If Luoyang cannot take it within a month, our army may have to retreat." The Qin King's words made Meng Zhang feel alarmed several times, because the Qin King's words were too sensational. Opening the border was a major event that only the emperor could decide. Liu Shan was just a general who led troops in Liangzhou and had no right at all. Moreover, after opening the border, the Turks could buy too much war materials from the border, which was definitely not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty.

"Is the military ration you mentioned also related to Liu Shan?" But at this time, Meng Zhang couldn't understand why the Qin King said that the military ration was short, and from the tone of Qin, this matter had something to do with Liu Shan. Meng Zhang couldn't help asking.

"It's not just something. My junior brother has marched all the way and bought all the food along the way. Now it's very difficult for us to raise food."

"How is this possible!"

"Please look at the teacher," said the King of Qin, and came to the front of another military map. The map clearly marked an unusually winding road with a red line. Moreover, the winding road has a characteristic, and there must be important towns and prefectures or important grain reserves around it.

"Mr., this is the route of the Liangzhou army. Along the way, we passed countless prefectures, towns and villages, and the places we passed by. At this time, the grain prices soared. Local officials have reported that the court was transporting grain around to solve the shortage of these prefectures. Since this is also an important supply area for our army, our current military rations cannot be supplied." The King of Qin said, and both of them showed a laughing and crying expression. However, at this time, a thought had already passed through Meng Zhang's mind. Although the King of Qin did not say it clearly, Meng Zhang still heard what the King of Qin meant.

"You are not at ease with Liu Shan."

"Mr., in front of you, I'm talking straight. Last year, the battle of Liangzhou, more than 400,000 grassland soldiers were defeated at Liangzhou City. Afterwards, Liu Shan went to the grassland. After several months, when he returned to Liangzhou, he also brought back a grassland princess. The identity of this grassland princess is probably also heard of by his mentor. Her name is Princess Sinan."

"Princess Yicheng's daughter!" Meng Zhang couldn't help but say.

"It is Princess Yicheng's daughter. Today, in Hulao, the right wing of Liushan's Liangzhou Legion was defeated by the grassland cavalry, but the Liangzhou Army was killed or injured by no more than a hundred." When the King of Qin said this, he said nothing. At this time, Meng Zhang's hand couldn't help but tremble.
