Xu Hu was on the battlefield and was the most capable general under King Qin. He had been the savior several times and had already gained a reputation far and wide.
Everyone in the world knows that he is there, and if you want to hurt the King of Qin, it will be difficult to reach the sky.
Tang Yue seemed to have a deeper meaning when he asked this question.
In other words, he was somewhat afraid of Xu Hu.
When Xiao Yuan heard this, he was obviously stunned, then he put down the wine glass he had picked up, smiled, and said with a smile: "Of course the Tiger Marquis is here, Tang Yue, you don't have to be like this. I have been fighting for many years, and there is no scene. Saw it."
Hearing this, Tang Yue fell silent for a moment. He did mean to scare Xiao Yuan just now, but it was obvious that he was a military general of the King of Qin and had fought all the way in the north and south. He was not a coward.
After giving him a funny look, Xiao Yuan said again: "Tang Yue, since you are here today, it means that you have made a decision. For this, I owe you a favor."
"There is no need to say this. This battle is for the nation, not for you, King Qin." Tang Yue said.
"Okay!" Xiao Yuan didn't write any ink and just held the cup: "Please."
"Please!" Tang Yue also picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing a glass of wine, he naturally asked: "May I ask, Your Highness, how many soldiers and horses have been gathered in Beidi?"
"Since knocking off the pass, to this day, about 200,000 people have been gathered." Xiao Yuan said.
Tang Yue was somewhat surprised by this number: "No, after the Battle of Bei Mo, Beidi was forced to move back, and there should not be many troops left. But it doesn't matter, there is one characteristic of fighting them, that is, they are more powerful than others. Who is more vicious!"
Don't underestimate Rong Di. The nomadic people in the north have always been good at bows, horses, riding and shooting. The cavalry is a powerful weapon, and their combat power is not weak.
But they were fierce, and Tang Yue was even more fierce than them!
Because of this, they feared Tang Yue from the bottom of their hearts and were convinced of him.
The third generation general of the Tang family has rich experience in fighting against Rong and Di. After listening to what he said, Xiao Yuan naturally nodded and said, "Then how many troops and horses do you need?"
"What do you mean?" Tang Yue didn't respond.
"I mean how many soldiers and horses do you need to command to repel Rong Di." Xiao Yuan repeated in a calm voice.
"What? Your Highness said, let me command the troops?" Tang Yue felt somewhat incredible.
"How can we defeat the enemy if we don't let the generals go?" Xiao Yuan asked.
There was a strange look on Tang Yue's face: "Your Highness, really dare to do this?"
He asked directly, and it was not difficult to see his character.
Xiao Yuan shook his head slightly and said seriously: "General Tang, I have said that this is a national matter, not a personal matter. How many troops and horses do you need? Just tell me directly without any doubts."
Seeing that he was serious and not joking, Tang Yue was stunned again.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled heartily and said: "In the past, the world misunderstood King Qin, and in the future, they will also misunderstand King Qin."
At this moment, Tang Yue was deeply touched by his monarch's broad-mindedness and generosity. The look he looked at him was filled with both disbelief and admiration.
He was in a mixed mood. It was not until a while later that he stood up suddenly, faced Xiao Yuan, clasped his fists and said in a serious voice: "Dare you ask Your Highness to give me 30,000 Qin soldiers, and I will be able to defeat the enemy in one battle!"
"Thirty thousand?" Xiao Yuan frowned slightly and asked in a solemn voice: "With only 30,000 soldiers, can we repel an enemy army of 200,000?"
"If the northern border is not solidified! Tang Yue will die on the battlefield!"
His words were so decisive that Xiao Yuan was also infected. He stood up and said: "Okay! I will allocate 30,000 elite troops to you. At the same time, if you need Zhao Mu's support, you can send a message at any time!"
"Thank you for your trust, Your Highness!" Tang Yue immediately accepted the order.
Xiao Yuan also unfolded his sleeves, bowed his hands, gave him a serious salute, and said in a very serious manner:
"The victory or defeat in this battle is related to the safety of the nation. I, the king, leave it to the general."
You must know that he is the king of a country. No matter how unruly Tang Yue was, he was startled when he saw this situation. He was at a loss and quickly returned the salute: "Your Highness, you have to defeat Tang Yue. In this battle, you must risk your life." Life, retreat from foreign enemies!”
This meeting made Tang Yue see a different King Qin.
And Xiao Yuan dared to give him 30,000 horses, so he naturally had nothing to fear.
Because that is 30,000 Qin troops.
Of course, the more important thing is Tang Yue.
After the matter was finalized, Tang Yue said goodbye and came out of the tent, but he had just taken two steps when someone called him from behind.
"General, stay here..."
Following the words, Shangguan Wenruo hurriedly caught up.
Tang Yue knew him well. After he stopped, he couldn't help but asked, "Sir Shangguan?"
"Haha." Shangguan Wenruo smiled and said, "It's still early in the morning. I wonder if I can go with you. Let's chat with the general while walking."
Tang Yue raised his eyebrows, but did not refuse. As the two of them took steps, he took the lead and said: "As far as I know, every time the King of Qin goes on an expedition, Shangguan must join the army. At this time, he should be beside the King of Qin to make suggestions. How can you have time to chat with an outsider like me?"
"Huh? What are you talking about, General." Shangguan Wenruo said, "I heard just now that the General has appointed me as General of Qin and is about to lead the army. How can I say that I am an outsider?"
"He is a general who retreated from Rong and Di, not a general from Qin." Tang Yue corrected him.
"Okay, okay, whatever the general says is fine." Shangguan Wenruo did not argue on this point, but changed the topic: "Whether he is General of Qin or another title, in short, how much our king trusts the general. , the general should know this."
"Yes, I sincerely admire King Qin's mind and magnanimity."
"Then from the general's point of view, how do my king and the King of Chu fare?" Shangguan Wenruo suddenly asked again.
Tang Yue gave him a strange look, but still said: "This foreign invasion, as a prince of the Central Plains, the King of Chu has no public intentions. It is really not the behavior of the monarch. As for the King of Qin..."
Having said this, he paused, then looked at Shangguan Wenruo and said, "Sir Shangguan, as a minister, is it appropriate for you to discuss the King of Qin with me here?"
"Haha." Shangguan Wenshou smiled and said, "It's just a casual chat."
Tang Yue said: "You literati always like to talk in roundabout ways. What exactly do you want to say? Can you say it directly?"
"This..." Shangguan Wenruo pondered and said, "Actually, I'm asking you, if this battle is over, will the general go to Chu State?"
Still going to Chu State? To be honest, Tang Yue really hadn't thought about this issue.
Now when Shangguan Wenruo mentioned it, he couldn't help but frown. He went to Chu before because he planned to help the King of Chu attack Qin, but now, the actions of the King of Chu clearly made him disagree.
Moreover, the King of Chu was only polite to him on the surface, and had no intention of trusting or reusing him.
Where to go.
Tang Yue's eyes showed confusion.
