Vol 4 Chapter 1190: Only one side

Qu Manbao's eyes twitched, his lips opened, but he couldn't speak.
"Princess, the general has left the northwest, and the entire northwest is now up to you." Dao Sheng said aloud: "Dare to ask the grandfather, do the hundreds of soldiers and horses stationed in Tongguan now listen to the transfer of the grandfather? "
Qu Manbao frowned: "You know better than me. Tongguan is my northwest barrier. 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 will be in jeopardy. Because of this, the soldiers and horses stationed in Tongguan were 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 could mobilize the guards of Tongguan. "
"So if the grandson wants the letter to work, he must hold Tongguan in his hand." Daosheng whispered: "The grandfather has raised three hundred warriors under his hand. These people are desperate to the grandson. For the grandson, then It ’s time to go to the battle and to fight for the fire, so as to raise the army for a thousand days, these batches of warriors have arrived to serve the eldest son. "
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 by letting Tongguan's guards replace themselves, can the elder 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 change the guard to defense, Father .... Father must be dissatisfied with me. At that time, it was counterproductive. "
"Princess, in fact, in the opinion of his subordinates, General 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 grandfather has both civil and military skills, the Northwest has not been in these years. Too much warfare, there are not many opportunities for the eldest son to show his talents, so in the opinion of the general, the eldest son may not be able to be alone. But this time, if the eldest son is relentlessly popular, adjust the Tongguan, and be the concubine in the house. It ’s not necessarily a bad thing in the eyes of the generals that the aunt is the master. "
Qu Manbao walked over and sat down on the chair, reached for the hip flask, and took another sip from his head.
"If the eldest son feels that his subordinates speak a lot, his subordinates ask the eldest son to sin." Dao Sheng sighed: "These two nights can't sleep at night, just for the future of the eldest son. In the final analysis, it is also for myself. Being able to walk in the clouds, the subordinates can naturally absorb the light of the grandfather, otherwise ..., the subordinates bluntly, these words are detrimental to the brotherhood of the grandfather and the younger son, and should not be admitted to the grandfather. "
Qu Manbao also sighed and said, "Dao Sheng, why don't you understand what you said, Mr. Storyteller tells so many stories, for the sake of power, don't say brothers, and there is no mercy between father and son." Wei Weiyi Suddenly, he said: "Thinking of it now, Manying seems to have been 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 deserved my attention. In the past, this kid really looked bad. "
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, which becomes active. Is much safer than waiting for the general to make a decision. "
"You say, besides Tongguan, what else to do?"
"Assemble 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 eldest son can naturally be assigned a heavy responsibility, 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 Gongdao said: "The grandson has a bright future and will definitely become a generation of heroes!"
"Dao Sheng, you will give me a notice now." Qu Manbao said: "Hoard all the grains from Xianyang Grain Store and tell those people that the battle ahead is tight. Now all the grain and grass will be returned to the public for disposal. When the army conquers Luoyang, it will be repaid twice. 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: "The 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 proud, the entire Northwest Army, he saw few in his eyes."
"Don't I 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 goes, this will happen." Dao Sheng said righteously: "No matter how big Du Yan's courage is, he would not dare to fight in front of him."
Qu Manbao reluctantly said: "From here to Tongguan, it will take several days to travel, and the weather is cold, I ...!"
"After suffering hard, you can only be a man." 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 picked up the jug and poured a mouthful, then pondered, before saying: "Fortunately, Xue Ren's temper, I also know that Du Yandao may not be able to cope with it. After he got him, I led three hundred warriors to tomorrow, and replaced the guards of Tongguan. Du Yandao was loyal to me, and he was guarding Tongguan without fail. "Some worried:" I leave Xianyang. Won't there be any problems? "
"Princess rest assured that throughout the northwest, who doesn't know that it is the world of Qu's family." Dao Sheng smiled and said: "Those forces that opposed the court have long been uprooted, and Grand Prince only needs a few days to go back and forth, no one can Big 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, laughing: "Dao Sheng, go get the wine and accompany me to drink."
Early the next morning, notices were posted on the streets and alleys of Xianyang City, which ordered all grain stores to pay all the grains in stock within two days. Family wealth is never merciless.
A notice immediately caused a commotion in Xianyang City.
The Northwest Army was in battle, and the people in Xianyang knew it, and many people knew that the taxes collected by the father and son of the Qu family in the northwest in these years were quite a lot. Before the Qinhuai War, the father and son of the Qu family claimed to relieve the court and collect taxes in the northwest. The people in the northwest are naturally miserable, but those gentry and powerful people also complained, but the Qu family was under the flag of the court, and no one dared to defy, but the real tax paid to the court was less than 30%, and the rest was 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 Yuangu, if the Xianyang City was under siege one day, even if it was spent three years and five years , Xianyang City is not worried about food.
People know that the Qu family had more money in their hands. This time the Northwest Army entered the border, and Qu Yuangu did not make much effort to raise food. Many people felt confident that Qu Yuangu was a good deed, but this was short. Time, the notice will come down. This time it is not just for people to pay for food. Look at that meaning. It is actually to hand over all the food. People are indignant. There were really few people who took the initiative to pay in the first day. food.
According to the notice, 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.
In the sunset, Qu Manbao rides on the back of a vigorous horse. This horse is an authentic thoroughbred northwest horse. Under the sunset, the brown temples are exceptionally compliant. Qu Manbao in a black armor matches this horse. It is also Yingwu very.
Behind him were three hundred warriors, all of whom were all in fine armor, armed with spears and carrying swords on their waists.
According to Qu Manbao, these three hundred warriors are the authentic Northwest Warriors. Each of them plays 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's getting late. We can camp on the edge of the hillside." A gray armor will approach, "Bui will remember that there is a water source near the hillside, which 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 people to prepare the camp first, rest here tonight, and start again tomorrow morning."
The gray armor will call it 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 ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But as a guard under the eldest son, what the master said was what he did Understand the truth. If a person asks less, then the live will grow longer. The eldest son's temperament is erratic. Maybe he accidentally annoys him. If so, it is better to ask less.
And this trip to Tongguan is not a bad thing for him.
After the defense was changed, 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 place to use it. Finally, he had the opportunity to do something. Du Yandao was still very happy.
Du Yandao is not a mediocrity, but also a brave man who came out of the dead. The march is not very clever, but he is not weak. The three hundred soldiers are really a piece of cake to command them.
Before dark, the team had set up camps on the side of the hillside. In fact, there were only three camps that were really tied up. After all, it was light and simple, and there were too many tools.
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 in addition to the water bag for drinking. Bath water.
