Chapter 673

At the end of March, the time is about to enter summer, and the weather is gradually starting to warm up, which is especially true in Changping Pass in the south.

At this time, Changping Pass has completely changed into a defensive fortress. Compared with Wei Guocai who took it down at the beginning, many military facilities have been added inside and outside Changping Pass.

Today's Chen State has existed in name only, and after being occupied by Wei State for more than half of the land, the rest of the country is also under the actual control of Qin State.

Even today's kings and ministers of the state of Chen have moved to Xianyang, the capital of the state of Qin, after the failure of the attached Zhou family.

In other words, besides the direct border between Wei State and Qin State at Xiguan, it is equivalent to the same situation at Changping Pass.

Today, Xu Anhong, the commander-in-chief of tens of thousands of troops in the Changping Camp, stood on the tall city wall of Changping Pass, looking at the invisible Qin and Chu troops in the distance.

Xu Anhong is definitely the most stressed general in the entire Wei State, bar none.

Although he also holds an army of tens of thousands, the Qin-Chu coalition army on the opposite side is not a vegetarian. The intermittent wars in the past two years are tantamount to a torment for Xu Anhong.

But now that he is sitting in this position, Xu Anhong has to bear the pressure no matter how great it is, and this is worthy of Wei Hou's trust.

At this time, although there was no Qin person in sight, Xu Anhong knew that the situation along the Changping Pass would still be tense in the next few days, and it would not be uncommon for a war to break out.

When big countries go to war, not only the big country itself consumes a lot, but it is also a disaster for the surrounding small countries.

Not to mention the state of Lu between Wei and Qi, the state of Xu between Qi and Wu, and the state of Chen that has been beaten to pieces, even the state of Zheng, which was stationed by the Chu army, has also been exhausted.

The envoys of Tang Guo and Xiao Guo that Xu Anhong was going to meet later were the envoys, and it was not expected that these two came to complain.

Like countries like Chen Zhenglu, Tang State was considered a second-class country, and both he and Song State had always recognized Wei State as their eldest brother.The envoys were sent this time, presumably also to discuss the matter of military rations.

Although the Tang State was lucky, no foreign troops directly set foot on the border, but it had to pay a large amount of food, grass and military supplies to the Wei army, so life was not so easy.

And the Xiao country that came with them is even a small country that is hard to find on the map. It seems that their monarch is personally on the mission this time.

"Old general, the envoys of Tang and Xiao are already waiting in the big tent!" At this time, a general behind Xu Anhong stepped forward and said.

Xu Anhong didn't turn around immediately, but asked, "Can you take them to see our military camp?"

The lieutenant bowed and replied: "According to the old general's wishes, he has already taken them to the infantry and cavalry armies and battalions!"

A slight smile appeared on Xu Anhong's face and he said, "What's the reaction between the two of them?"

The lieutenant general replied behind him: "The envoy of the Tang Kingdom looks dejected, and the king of the Xiao Kingdom is even more intimidated by our Great Wei Bingfeng, almost lost his mind!"

Only then did Xu Anhong nod his head. This is the normal reaction of a small country.

Therefore, Xu Anhong said: "In this case, you go and tell them, just say that the general is busy with work, and they should go back separately!"

Xu Anhong actually said these words, the lieutenant standing beside him obviously didn't expect it, but at this moment he froze in place.

"Go, let them go back!" Xu Anhong said with a serious tone.

Only then did the deputy general realize that the old general was really not joking, and said: "The last general obeys orders!"

After saluting to Xu Anhong, the deputy general turned and left, thinking about how to tell the two envoys about this later.

Xu Anhong certainly had his own intentions for such an arrangement.

The purpose of sending envoys from these two countries is nothing more than to tell themselves how difficult the country is, and then plead for a reduction in the share of grain and grass requisition.

But how is this possible, the tens of thousands of troops in Changping Pass need to eat, and the domestic food and grass have to supplement the people in several other camps and Yanshan County. How can the Changping camp survive without collecting food from these small countries.

In a word, if Tang and Xiao are not hungry, then the people and soldiers of Wei will be hungry, and Xu Anhong has no choice!

Moreover, thinking that the grain collection of the two kingdoms of Tang and Xiao was a national policy set by the Marquis of Wei, Xu Anhong also had the right to change it, which was the duty of a courtier.

That's why he asked people to take the envoys of the two countries directly to the barracks for a walk around. The meaning of deterrence and threat could not be more obvious, and the envoys of the two countries would naturally understand what he meant.

That being the case, there is no need to meet each other, and meeting Xu Anhong may actually cause trouble for himself.

Just when Xu Anhong was thinking about this, another person came behind him, and he said: "The old general is not sloppy in doing things, the general admires him!"

Xu Anhong was very familiar with this voice, he turned around and said with a smile on his face: "Wang Xiu, don't praise me, I just find it troublesome!"

The person who came was Wang Xiu who was sent to the Changping camp by Wei Wuji. At this time, he was also promoted to the position of deputy general because of his military achievements.

And Xu Anhong's attitude towards him is undoubtedly much more gentle than that of the deputy general who came to question him just now.

The reason for this is only because Wang Xiu has a big backer, he is Wu Yangjun's confidant and favorite general!
For Xu Anhong, Wei Wuji at this time is no longer the little guy who needed to be protected by himself, and his attitude will also change when people change.

Now that Wang Xiu came to him, in a sense, it was equivalent to Wu Yangjun Wei Wuji talking to him again.

"Wang Xiu, what is your business with this old man?" Xu Anhong asked calmly, for him it was more important to talk about business.

Of course Wang Xiu came with a mission. Yesterday he received a message from Yanshan. Wei Wuji asked about the battle situation at Changping Pass, and vaguely mentioned that the Lingbei Camp could send troops to support.

My son bypassed Marquis Wei and expressed this kind of meaning, which made Wang Xiu feel a bit of shock. This has already constituted a suspicion of treason!

Facing Xu Anhong's question, Wang Xiu looked at the people on the left and right at this time, and then said: "Young master asked the last general to tell the old general that he is also very concerned about the situation on the front line of Changping Pass. If necessary, he will also You can send an army to support the old general!"

Xu Anhong is not an outsider, so Wang Xiu's words are very straightforward.

After hearing this, Xu Anhong's complexion didn't change much, he just smiled and said: "Young Master is punishing the barbarians in Yanshan, so he can still support the old man there!"

Wang Xiu smiled, and then said: "Young master's matter will not be understood in the end, and I will just pass the words to the old general in the end!"

Xu Anhong was still smiling, and then said: "At this time, it is no longer up to the old man to make decisions. If you really want to, you can write a letter to the prince!"

The reason why Xu Anhong tactfully refused was not to boycott Wei Wuji, but to do Wei Wuji's good from the bottom of his heart.

This large-scale and large-scale deployment of troops from south to north is different from Wei Wuji's privately sending troops to attack Donghu. This is a real taboo for the emperor.

Wang Xiu's face also remained unchanged, he was a messenger, and now he has heard Xu Anhong's reply, so he can go back and write a letter to reply.

Afterwards, after Wang Xiu saluted Xu Anhong and said goodbye, he turned and left above the city gate.

Looking at the back of Wang Xiu's departure, Xu Anhong couldn't help sighing in a low voice: "Young master, can't you wait any longer?"

For Xu Anhong, Wei Wuji's thinking was too hasty.Although Wu Yangjun's name has been spread all over the world, it is still impossible to rebel against Marquis Wei.

So Xu Anhong's refusal of this matter was actually for the good of Wei Wuji. If Wei Hou was provoked to launch a thunderbolt method, I am afraid that the legend of Wu Yangjun would be just a legend.

"Forget it, I don't want to worry about these troubles anymore, I'd better find Chen Qun for a drink!" Xu Anhong shook his head and said.

What I want to say here is that General Chen Qun is not an ordinary person, or an ordinary general.

Years ago, the Marquis of Wei dispatched [-] Wei military soldiers from the Wu'an camp to support the front line at Changping Pass, and now [-] soldiers have been withdrawn after the fighting slowed down, and this Chen Qun is the chief general of the Wei military soldiers who stayed at Changping Pass.

Although he is a general, he has won the trust of Marquis Wei, and it is impossible to find out if he is equal to Xu Anhong.

The entire front line of Changping Pass, only this one, is qualified to drink with Xu Anhong, a general with tens of thousands of troops.
