Chapter 337 Borrowing Mulan

Liangzhou, Longxi County, Liangzhou City, this is the territory of Xiao Lingxue, the first lord player in Liangzhou. It has a population of 450,000, with merchants constantly coming and going, and goods circulating, and it is very prosperous.

"Shut up!"

Several war horses arrived at the city gate and were stopped by the defenders.

These tough men on horseback looked as fierce as wolves and tigers, and were full of murderous intent. The defenders hurried to stop them.

Given their military strength, no one knows what unpredictable consequences will arise if they are allowed to enter the city at will.

"Who are you?"

The captain of the city gate brought hundreds of soldiers to surround these strong men, but he was still a little worried.

If these few people are powerful enough to defeat ten thousand enemies, a few hundred ordinary soldiers may not be their match.

One of them said, "I am Li Qian, the magistrate of Xinye, and I would like to see your lord. Please go and report it as soon as possible."

"It's you?! Quick, go tell the lord that Xinye Ling wants to see him."

The captain of the city gate obviously knew Li Qian, who often cooperated with Xiao Lingxue, and ordered his soldiers to go and report.

Li Qian came all the way from Xinye County to Liangzhou. It must be an urgent matter and he couldn't delay for a moment.

In the City Lord's Mansion of Liangzhou City, Xiao Lingxue was looking worried.

"My lord, Xinye magistrate Li Qian wants to see you."

"Oh? What is he doing here?"

Xiao Lingxue was a little surprised.

The rebellion in Liangzhou has temporarily ended. Li Qian's territory is far away in Jingzhou, and he would not come to Liangzhou, thousands of miles away, for no reason.

Then the only possibility is that he has something to ask for.

"Bring him to see me."

Xiao Lingxue also happened to have a tricky matter.

Soon, Li Qian and his group were taken to the City Lord's Mansion.

Li Qian's eyes lit up.

Xiao Lingxue had her hair combed into a high bun with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally. She wore an emerald green dress that was as graceful as flowing water. Her delicate skin looked even more delicate against the exquisite emerald green.

Xiao Lingxue has many supporters in Liangzhou, so during the last rebellion in Liangzhou, when the rebels swept through Liangzhou, Xiao Lingxue's territory was able to remain independent and not be conquered.

"You came here to ask for something, right? You could just come straight to the point and tell me what you want."

Xiao Lingxue picked up the teacup and sipped it, her red lips tender and tempting.

"Then I won't be polite. I want to borrow someone."

Since Xiao Lingxue said that he could get straight to the point, Li Qian actually asked directly to borrow someone.

Xiao Lingxue looked strange: "Who do you want to borrow?"

"Mulan."

"what?"

As soon as Li Qian finished speaking, both Xiao Lingxue and Hua Mulan, who was standing behind Xiao Lingxue, were shocked.

Li Qian actually wants to borrow Mulan?
"what are you up to?"

Xiao Lingxue looked at Li Qian with even more suspicion. What was Li Qian going to do?

She had also heard the story of Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou. What if he loaned Mulan out and never returned her?
Li Qian continued, "Recently, the Great Emperor, the Great Liangzao, the King of Zheng and others sent troops to harass my territory, causing me a lot of trouble."

Xiao Lingxue nodded: "I have heard about this matter, but I didn't expect that you can't do anything about them."

Li Qian said: "The emperor of all ages has a military advisor who is in charge of the strategy. He has repeatedly sent cavalry to harass us frequently, and I am also exhausted by it. If we can know the enemy's marching route in advance and set up an ambush, we can dampen their spirit." "So you want to borrow Mulan?"

Xiao Lingxue now completely understood what Li Qian meant.

Li Qian might have other ways to deal with the offensive of the Greatest Emperor and his men, but it would come at a huge price, so Li Qian thought of borrowing Mulan from Xiao Lingxue to break the impasse.

"Exactly."

While sipping tea, Li Qian secretly observed Xiao Lingxue's micro-expressions, wanting to know whether Xiao Lingxue would agree.

If Xiao Lingxue borrows Hua Mulan, then Li Qian, with Hua Mulan's help, will be able to defeat the emperor's plan.

For this reason, Li Qian traveled thousands of miles to borrow people.

Xiao Lingxue turned his head to look at Hua Mulan behind him: "Mulan, are you willing to go to Nanyang County?"

After being surprised, Hua Mulan nodded calmly: "Everything is up to the master's arrangement."

There is a play.

Seeing that Hua Mulan had no objection, Li Qian felt that he was halfway to success.

Xiao Lingxue turned around and said, "I can lend you Mulan, but only for one month, and there is one condition."

"What conditions? Just tell me."

Li Qian knew that it was impossible to borrow generals from other players for no reason. Everything had a corresponding price.

"Do you know the Di tribe?"

"Of course I know."

Li Qian was not unfamiliar with the Di tribe.

The Di people gathered in the Longnan area. They were brave and good at fighting. They were very active in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period.

For example, in the 213th year of Jian'an, that is, in AD, Ma Chao once again united with the Qiang and Hu in Hanyang and became a threat to Cao Cao. The Di King Yang Qianwan rebelled and responded to Ma Chao, stationed in Xingguo.

In October of the 22nd year of Jian'an, Liu Bei and Cao Cao were fighting for supremacy in Hanzhong. Liu Bei sent Ma Chao and Zhang Fei, Wu Lan, Lei Tong and other generals who had just defeated Zhang He in Baxi to station troops in Xiabian. Ma Chao instigated more than 10,000 people from the seven tribes of the Di tribe Lei Ding to respond to Liu Bei and contain the main force of Cao's vanguard.

In the first month of the 23rd year of Jian'an, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Wu Lan, Lei Tong and others led their troops to station at Jushui, pretending to attack Wudu and Yinping counties. Wu Lan and Lei Tong were discovered and defeated by Cao Hong, Cao Xiu and others, and Ren Kui, a general under Wu Lan, was killed in the battle. The Yinping Di king Qiangduan killed Wu Lan and presented his head to Cao's army.

Ma Teng and his son Ma Chao were deeply supported by the Qiang and Di tribes, so they were able to mobilize the Di tribe's troops to fight.

When Ma Chao was competing with Cao Cao, he received the support of the Di kings.

Later, when the Di people saw that Ma Chao was defeated by Cao Cao and that Cao Cao was powerful, some of them defected to Cao Wei and killed the Shu general Wu Lan for Cao Wei.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the Di tribe became the target of competition between Shu and Wei.

Xiao Lingxue mentioned the Di tribe to me at this time, could it be...

Xiao Lingxue continued, "I intend to subjugate the Di tribes near my territory to serve me, but every time I send troops to attack them, they hide in the mountains and forests after being defeated, making them difficult to subjugate. If you can send generals like Gao Xianzhi and Qin Liangyu who are good at mountain marching to help me subdue the Di tribes, I will lend Mulan to you."

As expected, Xiao Lingxue also encountered a difficult problem.

There are many Di tribes in Longnan, and the terrain is dangerous. There are many places in deep mountains and old forests. It is not easy for Xiao Lingxue to go deep into these places to subdue the Di tribes.

Xiao Lingxue's forces lack generals who are good at mountain marches, but Li Qian has many generals who are good at mountain marches or combat, such as Gao Xianzhi, Li Siye, Qin Liangyu and others, who can help Xiao Lingxue conquer the Di tribe.

"This is a bit unfair. I lend you one general, but you want to lend me two generals."

"How about this? I'll lend you Wang Yanzhang for a month as well. How about that?"

In order to conquer the Di tribe as quickly as possible, Xiao Lingxue took the initiative to offer to lend out Wang Yanzhang as well.

Li Qian took a breath. Xiao Lingxue's conditions were really fair.
