Zongwu: Li Xiuning proposes to marry, and signs to Jinyiwei

He didn't want to defeat Muyuan, he just wanted to protect himself.

Thinking so many troops should be enough.

Several ministers also hesitated.

Fortunately, Liu Jialun said that he should respond, but that Sun Hua has always been very disdainful of Liang Shidu's claiming of the Turkic people.

They even humiliated him publicly, and it is probably impossible to unite with him.

So several ministers did not answer.

Master Liang also remembered Sun Hua's insult to him.

He frowned, "Even if we win Liu Jialun's support, our combined strength is only 11."

"Just the same as Mu Yuan, with the same force, generals, which one can stand up to Mu Yuan?".

Master Liang was disappointed with his subordinates.

With the same strength, Master Liang really didn't have much confidence in facing Mu Yuan's army.

But at this time, a civil official came out and said, "Your Majesty, the same military strength as him is actually enough. Don't forget that Mu Yuanke fought with Li Gui of Liangzhou. It is impossible for him not to garrison troops in Pingliang City, and his military strength will definitely not be less." ".

"There is also 723 Lingwu County, which is also next to Liangzhou."

"He probably needs at least 3 people in these two counties to be able to withstand the pressure from Li Gui."

"What's more, there is another Xue Ju staring at him in the Xirong Qiang land."

"Xue Ju has 13 mercenaries, and his strength is no worse than Li Gui's."

"As long as His Majesty contacts these two people and gives them some benefits, then they can naturally give His Majesty a part of the force to hold Mu Yuan back."

"At that time, the troops we need to face may not exceed [-]."

"In this way, it must be enough to guard Liang Guo."

After the minister finished speaking, Master Liang suddenly became enlightened.

He smiled and said, "Okay, let's do it like this, Aiqing, I will leave this matter to you. You can contact Liu Jialun and Xue Ju. As long as they are willing to send troops to hold Mu Yuan back, I will take the Turkic money I got. War horses, give them five thousand."

Don't look at just five thousand horses.

During this period, except for the Sui army which had a large number of horse resources, most of the other forces were mainly infantry.

The cavalry is pitifully small, the main reason being the lack of horses.

The Turks were unwilling to sell horses in large quantities.

Therefore, many rebels could not be supplemented by horse resources.

In addition, Muyuan took control of the Pegasus Ranch again, and the way they wanted to get the horses was basically cut off.

Five thousand horses is enough to be heart-pounding.

You must know that Li Yuan only got [-] horses when he surrendered to the Turkic people, which shows the preciousness of horse resources.

It is also conceivable that Mu Yuan has 20 cavalry, and also controls the Pegasus Ranch, and the horse resources in his hands are definitely no less than [-].

Although most of them cannot be used as war horses, they can only be used as naive horses.

But in the Central Plains, in terms of horse resources, I am afraid that even Li Gui and Xue Ju cannot compare with him.

Chapter 238 Shan Wanjing as a Messenger

Although Xue Ju is in the Three Dangerous Land, the San Dangerous Land is another name for the Xirong Qiang Land.

Because people of various Hu ethnic groups live in this place, and the living environment is very harsh, no matter it is the Sui Dynasty, Tubo, Yueshi or Turks, they have no interest in this place.

So this place is called a dangerous place, and it is basically a boundary of no matter what.

However, it still belongs to the Sui Dynasty in name.

It's just that the Sui Dynasty didn't intend to rule this place, so it has been keeping this place in chaos for a long time.

Xue Ju was originally a general of the Sui Dynasty near the edge of the Three Dangerous Lands.

Just when several clans were fighting each other in Sanwei, they were sent here by their superiors to suppress the rebellion.

Afterwards, this guy took advantage of the [-] armored soldiers sent to him by his boss to kill his boss and made himself king.

After that, the Sui Dynasty sent [-] troops to suppress Xue Ju.

In the end, he was killed by him, and the weapons and equipment of the [-] troops who suppressed him were seized.

Up to now, there have been 13 mercenaries, which is an insurgent army comparable to that of Li Gui in the Northwest of the Sui Dynasty.

Originally, Master Liang was the most powerful force in Yongliang and Liangzhou.

But because of the battle with Mu Yuan, he lost one hundred thousand troops.

As a result, he has fallen to the point where he is even weaker than Li Gui.

However, although Xue Ju and Liu Jialun had a lot of troops in their hands.

But war horses are indeed quite lacking.

If they get [-] horses, they can form [-] cavalry.

Five thousand cavalry is quite precious.

Xue raised an army of 13, but only two or three thousand cavalry.

It was brought when he rebelled against his boss before.

Although there are horse resources in Sangua, the horses here are not suitable for war horses at all.

So five thousand war horses are definitely a great temptation for Xue Ju.

Not to mention Liu Jialun.

He is the weakest rebel army in Yongliang and Liangzhou, and like Sun Hua, he only has [-] troops in his hands.

But he couldn't even beat Sun Hua.

The official who proposed before was stunned for a moment.

Although he didn't want to go to Sanwei to meet Xue Ju, he heard that that guy was very brutal.

Kill at every turn.

Officials naturally don't want to deal with a guy like that.

But he knew that he couldn't refuse, not to mention that he was negotiating on behalf of Liang Shidu, no matter how cruel Xue Ju was, he wouldn't be able to kill him.

So the official cupped his hands and said, "I obey."

He ordered his generals to be ready to deal with Mu Yuan's attack, and sent someone to monitor Mu Yuan's every move in Pingliang City.

Standing in the palace, looking at the sky.

Master Liang sighed, "Who will be hanging on it today?".

Looking at the dazzling sun, Master Liang felt unwilling.

"Mu Yuan, could it be you? But even if it's really you, I won't let you get away easily."

"Even if I lose, I will have the most unforgettable and painful memory of you."

Master Liang clenched his fists tightly.

Looking solemn.

And shortly after Mu Yuan returned to Pingliang City, Pegasus Ranch sent people.

In the City Lord's Mansion.

Mu Yuan welcomes the visiting Pegasus Ranch guests.

But Mu Yuan was a little surprised.

This person was actually Shan Wanjing who he had been staying away from before.

"Muyuan, Miss Xiuxun asked me to ask you about your promise."

Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Mu Yuan is considered her grandfather in terms of seniority.

"How do you talk to me? You should call me Grandpa now."

Of course, this is just Mu Yuan's bad taste.

But Shan Wanjing snorted coldly, "Don't push yourself too hard, our relationship must be counted separately."

Sitting there, Mu Yuan drank tea slowly and said with a smile, "That's right, then we'll go our separate ways. I'll call you Miss Shan, what do you call me Grandpa?".

"Mu Yuan, don't go too far."

Shan Wanjing was very angry, she didn't want to use this kind of thing as a joke.

Seeing that Shan Wanjing was angry, Mu Yuan smiled, "Okay, no kidding, you go back and tell Miss Shang that I will give her the funds for buying the horses, so she can rest assured."

Mu Yuan never thought of occupying the Pegasus Ranch.

Shan Wanjing looked at Mu Yuan with a gloomy expression.

She really loves and hates this man.

The character makes people hate it.

But if she thought about it carefully, she liked it a little bit.

It's a pity that Mu Yuan is destined not to have any thoughts about her.

Even if she has no blood relationship with him.

But after all, he and Zhu Yuyan are already husband and wife.

It is impossible for him to have the slightest wrong idea about Shan Wanjing.

And Shan Wanjing has indeed inherited her grandma's beauty from another generation, which is not inferior to Zhu Yuyan's beauty in the slightest.

But in Mu Yuan's eyes, there is no temptation at all.

It will only make Mu Yuan maintain a sense of alienation.

Seeing Shan Wanjing's angry look, Mu Yuan smiled and said, "I'm a little surprised, you didn't go back, and you became Miss Shang's messenger. What are you going to do here? Your mother should go back."
