The king behind the empress

Chapter 328 Persuade to surrender
After Shen Qisheng and Pang Sihai returned to their tent, and when there were no other people in the tent, Pang Sihai gave Shen Qisheng a thumbs-up gesture, and praised, "Old Shen, you are like this in business."

He watched Shen Qisheng acting just now, if he hadn't known the inside story earlier, he would not have doubted what Shen Qisheng said.

"Just a little trick."

Shen Qisheng didn't feel much complacent, on the contrary, he was a little worried. The merger of Wuliang is not a fool, and he has been traveling and studying in Dazhou for so long, so he must be no stranger to Dazhou's prices.

So he must be very clear about the benefits of exchanging a set of armor for two red-blooded dragon horses, but even so, he took the initiative to raise the price for the exchange without hesitation, and he seemed a little impatient, which shows that he must be in short supply right now. Bingjia, so short that he didn't care how much he lost.

As for the armor, the only function is to fight, so Wu Lianghe must have battles to fight in the near future.

It's just that when Shen Qisheng came from the border, he didn't hear any news of the grassland launching a war against Da Zhou, so Wu Lianghe's opponent must not be Da Zhou, not Da Zhou...

"Is it to unify the grassland?"

A terrible thought emerged in Shen Qisheng's mind. The barbarians on the grasslands have always been very strong. The reason why they have been suppressed and beaten by Da Zhou these years is entirely because they were broken up by Da Zhou, and the entire barbarians were broken up into numbers. Indistinct small tribe.

In addition, Da Zhou has been persevering in infiltrating the grassland tribes with sand all these years, and all kinds of dirty tricks have emerged one after another, making the already scattered barbarians even less cohesive.

But the general trend of the world is always divided and united for a long time, and the same is true for the grassland. Looking at the situation of Wu Lianghe, is he planning to launch a war to unify the grassland?

Thinking of this, Shen Qisheng couldn't sit still. Today's Great Zhou is not as powerful as Emperor Gaozu was. If the grasslands are really unified, then Great Zhou will be in danger.

Just thinking of Da Zhou's current situation, Shen Qisheng sat down again weakly.

The imperial court was weak, and people all over the country became self-reliant. Even the defense line in the east border was almost penetrated, and no one cared about it, let alone the things on the grassland.

With the virtues of those aristocratic families, not to mention that the grasslands have not yet been unified, even if they have been unified, as long as they don't hit them, they will definitely not make a move.

"Three thousand sets of armor..."

Shen Qisheng smiled wryly, he was quite satisfied with the deal at first, but now that he thought about it, he suddenly had the urge to break the contract.

"Now we can only pray that Wulianghe will not be able to unify the grassland."

After Shen Qisheng prayed silently in his heart, he thought of the wolves-like warriors under Wu Lianghe's command. The barbarian warriors were already strong, but now with such discipline, it is estimated that his prayer would be hard to come true.

Now, instead of hoping that Wulianghe will not be able to unify the grassland, it is better to hope that Mo Zizai really has some means to deal with the grassland.

"I hope you really have some means, my lord, otherwise Shen will really become a sinner of the Great Zhou Dynasty through the ages."

……

The time Shen Qisheng and Wu Liang agreed to trade was 20 days later, and the location was set near Fengzhou Prefecture, a large surrounding city. This fully guaranteed that the two parties would not have any other intentions.

On the day of the transaction, Han Qu, the garrison of Fengzhou Mansion, sent troops to send out three thousand soldiers with a cold face. Even sending those red-blooded dragon cong out of Fengzhou Mansion, he didn't want them to stay for a moment.

After Shen Qisheng and the others left Fengzhou Mansion, Han Qu stood on the city wall and watched their leaving backs, and slapped the city wall fiercely, "As the ruler of the Great Zhou, he actually sold it to a barbarian soldier." , then why do we still guard this city, we might as well sell it to the barbarians!"

"Han Shuai, don't worry too much."

The master behind Han Qu gave a word of relief, and said, "The walls and defense equipment we rely on to defend the city, those ordinary scales, even if they are given to those barbarians, they will not have much impact on us."

"No impact? How could there be no impact?"

Han Qu was furious when he heard the words, turned his head and stared at the master viciously and said, "I've been in the border town for so long, don't you know the difference between those barbarians with or without armor?"

"If those barbarians really wear those fine armors to attack the city, our defenders will suffer at least [-]% more casualties!"

"Did he buy those broken horses? He bought the lives of our city guards."

The more Han Qu said, the more angry he was, he crushed the bricks and stones in his hand, and said angrily: "We worked so hard to defend the city, not for his Mo family's country, but he actually died for some broken horses." Selling our brother's life, is our brother's life so worthless?"

"Han Shuai speaks carefully..."

The master gave some words of consolation, he didn't know what to say, and after a while he said: "That... the prince also said, if the barbarians dare to attack the city with these armors, let us notify you as soon as possible." He'll do it, and he'll deal with these barbarians when the time comes."

"He dealt with a fart!"

Han Qu said in a resentful tone: "Don't I know what's going on in Da Zhou now? He's almost too busy to take care of himself, let him deal with it!"

Speaking of this, Han Qu felt a little powerless again. Dazhou is now in a precarious state, and Mo Zizai is still doing this. Even if he wants to help the court, he feels a little unsure of where to start.

"Hey, I'm tired, so I'll go back to rest first. Keep an eye on the movement of the grassland, and notify me as soon as there is any situation."

After finishing speaking, Han Qu didn't say any more, and walked towards his handsome mansion with somewhat tired steps.

Behind him, Qiu Rong, the county magistrate of Fengzhou Prefecture, looked at Han Qu's figure with a thoughtful expression, and after all the people here had dispersed, he whispered, "It seems that Han Shuai has already expressed his concern for Han Qu. The imperial court is a little disappointed, if this is the case, it may be possible to win him over to the prince's side."

Qiu Rong has always been a member of Bei'an King Mo Yuanji, but because Han Qu had always been loyal to the late emperor and ignored Mo Yuanji's repeated solicitations, he never dared to reveal his identity.

But looking at Han Qu's performance now, Qiu Rong felt that if he recruited Han Qu now, the chance of success would be very high.

Fengzhou Mansion is one of the few big cities on the border, and it also guards the main road leading to the Great Zhou in the north. If you can take this city without bloodshed, it will definitely be a great achievement for yourself.

After thinking it over, Qiu Rong didn't hesitate anymore. He first went back to the mansion and wrote a letter to Mo Yuanji about exchanging Mo Zizai with the grassland for the red-blooded dragon Cong. Then he went to Han Qu's mansion alone. He wanted to persuade Han Qu to surrender.
