Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 42, Entering Qianlong Bay, Peace Negotiations

What Moss didn't notice was that the thoughtful look on Liu Hong's face became even more intense.

Obviously this matter is over.

Liu Hong was thinking about how to control the Hu people in the long run.

Like yesterday's incident, the fox is taking advantage of the tiger's power to bully others, and many times it is just a simple gamble on luck.

If any Hu noble suddenly loses his mind and kills Liu Hong directly, there will be no excuses.

The Hu people are greedy for profit and have wolfish ambitions.

But often, we tend to neglect big things because of some small benefits in front of us.

After defeating Northern Qi this time, do you really think that Nanqing will recover and not send troops to retaliate?
Liu Hong's eyes lit up. Wool! He remembered that there was a guy with long braids on his head who made a living from the wool trade.

Those unruly barbarians were brought into obedience.

However, these things still need to be considered in the long term, after all, Liu Hong is too weak now.

The reorganized 20,000 troops basically did not meet the standards, and it would not be long before 8,000 troops would have to be returned to the eldest prince.

Without strength, everything can only be done according to the rules.

The army reorganized for a few days and then set out again.

This time, Liu Hong was very excited. The Qianlong Bay that he had been longing for was finally going to be taken.

Although Liu Hong's army and the Hu people were united in one place, they were actually still two or three miles apart.

All communications depend on scouts.

After all, the customs are different. Not long ago, the Hu people tricked the Qing people.

Now most of Liu Hong’s army are victims of that war. If they are grouped together with the Hu people.

Fighting is a normal thing, but we are afraid that a mutiny will break out in the middle of the night.

Chechnya also expressed his understanding and waved his hand in agreement quite generously.

After all, he was afraid that Liu Hong would cheat them, and turn against them after taking over Qianlong Bay.

After all, the grain and tea that Liu Hong promised would only be paid for after Qianlong Bay was captured.

The area of ​​Qianlong Bay seems quite desolate compared to other states and counties.

Except for Qianlong City where some food can be grown, the rest are grasslands with lush grass and aquatic plants, suitable for raising horses.

Among the three major horse-breeding areas in Northern Qi, Qianlong Bay, Langya County, and Donghai County, only the horses in Qianlong Bay have the largest size, fattest and strongest bodies.

If we have to say the difference, it is the difference between Mongolian horses and Ferghana horses.

The commander of Qianlong Bay and Liu Hong are relatives, his name is Liu Genghong. At this time, he was anxious and pacing back and forth in Qianlong City.

"What did the messenger for help say! General Xiao Zhan can't provide support, where is Uesugi Tiger?"

The messenger knelt on the ground, his voice hoarse. It was obvious that the requests for help in the past few days were too torturous.

After running around for a long time, his legs were almost a bloody mess. Without good medicine, he would have to stay in bed for at least half a month.

"Commander, Shangshan Hu refused to support us, saying that the northern barbarians in the snowy region were ready to make a move. He wanted to lead 150,000 troops to prepare for the invasion of the barbarians."

"boom!"

Liu Genghong punched the wall in anger.

"It's all an excuse. Even if he sent 30,000 cavalry south, Qianlong Bay would not be in danger."

In Liu Hong's camp, flags were raised, and the wind rustled the flags, making them flutter in the air.

"Appease these farmers and try our best to take Qianlong City without bloodshed."

The reason why Liu Hong borrowed troops from the Hu people was that he wanted to take advantage of the general situation and force the Northern Qi army in Qianlong Bay to retreat.

From his words, he already regarded Qianlong Bay as his own private territory.

The Hu people are unruly and unruly, if they break into Qianlong City.

This century-old city is likely to be destroyed.

Without Qianlong City, what's the point of Liu Hong taking it? There are enemies everywhere, and it's impossible to defend it.

"Fatty, go and persuade them to surrender. I will allow them to take up arms and evacuate Qianlong City. I really can't bear to see any more killing."

At this critical juncture, Fatty Lu is the most suitable person to go.

As Liu Hong's reputation grew, he became the deputy general of the Xiliang Camp. The Jinyiwei of Northern Qi Dynasty found out Liu Hong's identity clearly.

The identity of Fatty Lu's sworn brother is just right and can well represent Liu Hong's sincerity.

"General Liu, why do you want me to persuade them to surrender? Just charge into the city, kill them, steal their treasures, and their women."

Chechen spoke carelessly, his face full of greed.

Now the Nanqing army is entangled with the Northern Qi army. Qianlong City, which has been elusive for a long time, is like a little girl, crying and shouting that no one should go in.

When facing Chechnya, Liu Hong changed his rhetoric.

Pointing at the dozens of meters high city wall of Qianlong City.

"If you want to attack Qianlong City, you will have to pile up corpses. Are you ready to be a corpse?"

The Chechen smiled awkwardly. It was well known that the Hu people were not good at attacking cities.

When I glanced over, I saw the Wise King in the left tent and right tent in the distance, like an ostrich trying hard to hide his presence.

His eyes lit up and he sneered at the barbarian in the left tent.

"Isn't there still a left tent? I think they just like being corpses."

"It's not enough, but if you want, you can try! I can provide you with ladders and arrow towers."

Liu Hong smiled faintly.

Chechen was somewhat disappointed. It seemed that the Qing general had made up his mind not to suffer too great a loss.

However, Chechen still did not refute Liu Hong, and was obviously a little afraid of Liu Hong.

Just a few days ago, the herds of cattle and sheep grazed by the Hu people suddenly got out of control on a large scale, and the group suffered from diarrhea and lost a lot of fat.

Chechen was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and even inviting the shaman from the tribe was of no avail.

Liu Hong took a few glances and expressed some opinions.

The Chechens did as they were told, and the cattle and sheep soon returned to normal. Such a coincidence showed that the Chechens were not fools.

It was obvious that Liu Hong was hinting to himself that the logistical lifeline of the Hu people was in his hands.

Be good and listen to me!

According to the Hu people's customs, fat cattle and sheep will not be slaughtered!
Liu Hong's army was responsible for providing food and fodder for the past few days, which slightly strangled the lifeline of the Hu people.

At this time, Moss, Huang Xuan and others had to admire Liu Hong's foresight.

I originally thought that extorting so much grain from the State of Yu would be troublesome to transport and would be of no use.

I didn't expect that I could let the Hu people see the power of Liu Hong's army and that they had plenty of food.

His originally arrogant attitude soon became docile and he didn't make any small moves.

The Hu people are not used to eating the rice of the Central Plains people, so what? At least it is better than starving to death.

While Liu Hong was chatting with Chechen, Fatty Lu had already twisted his fat body and stood under Qianlong City to shout.

The city gate was not open, and a large cradle was lowered down, signaling Fatty Lu to get on.

The fat man weighing more than 300 pounds made the defenders of Qianlong City sweat profusely. It took seven or eight people to barely pull Fatty Lu up.

Liu Genghong took a look at Fatty Lu. He was ordinary. Apart from being fat, he didn't seem to have much else to his name.

Moreover, his smile was like that of Maitreya Buddha, and he didn't look like a soldier at all.

"Lü Ci?"

"Exactly!"

Fatty Lu straightened his collar and tried hard to imitate Liu Hong's tone of voice.

"I came here this time to guide you to retreat. Otherwise, Qianlong City will be destroyed in an instant with my 100,000-man army."

It was originally a serious negotiation, but Fatty Lu was a bit of an imitator.

Liu Genghong felt inexplicably relaxed, looked at Fatty Lu's fat face, and spoke jokingly.

"So! I have enough food and grass in Qianlong City. As long as the city is not broken, it is not a problem to defend it for a few years! Can you Qing people and Hu people besiege the city for a few years?"

Fatty Lu was speechless for a moment, feeling that what the Northern Qi leader in front of him said made a lot of sense.

I felt a little panicked. What if Liu Hong really couldn't take Qianlong City?
