It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 627

In fact, Lu Luo didn't care who Cheng Dalei would send to Liangzhou City as a hostage. But if Cheng Dalei was given a city, Cheng Dalei would not believe it if he didn't make his own demands.

In addition, it would be a good thing if a hostage could stay in Liangzhou City to restrain Cheng Dalei.

Cheng Dalei looked around in the hall, not thinking about who would be the hostage. Logically speaking, Cheng Dalei's children should be sent to Liangzhou City. It would save a lot of trouble because Dalei had no children.

Cheng Dalei sighed and said, "At present, we are short of manpower here. Of course, we also hope to send someone to mediate the cooperation between the two parties. I have a personal choice. Mr. Lu will consider whether it is feasible."

"Who?"

"Xue Wenting."

Cheng Dalei slowly said three words, this is the daughter of the Prime Minister, and Cui Xiang regarded it as the pearl in his palm. She has been staying in Toad City, but it can come in handy.

Lu Luo hesitated slightly, and finally said: "I can't make the decision on this matter, and I need to go back and discuss with my king."

"Don't worry, it's not too late to talk when you guys have discussed it."

Lu Luo rushed back to Liangzhou City and discussed the matter with Song Bokang. This is a big matter, and it cannot be settled in a day or two.

Almost as soon as he left, Cheng Dalei spread out the map of Liangzhou, Liu Bei and a few people came over to find the location of Shuofang City together.

Cheng Dalei had already dispatched people to draw a topographic map of the entire Liangzhou. At present, although he has no intention of replacing Song Bokang, the preparation work is still to be done.

Compared with Toad City, Shuofang City is a big city. The predecessor of Toad City, Qinchuan Pass, is just a border gate, mainly playing a military role. Cheng Dalei has been tossing and turning for the past few years, and finally has some improvement. However, in terms of population, resources, location, etc., it cannot be compared with Shuofang City.

Of course, the defense of Toad City is definitely stronger than that of Shuofang City, but Cheng Dalei has the ability to build Toad City into an iron barrel, so he may not be able to manage a Shuofang City well.

"It's just that why is Song Bokang willing to give us Shuofang City? It doesn't make sense?" Liu Bei frowned and thought.

"Hey, he wants to eat Bailisheng, so naturally he doesn't want us to intervene and give us a city, but he just buys one from us and doesn't move." He Shen said excitedly that he could expand his territory, and he was the happiest among them. Ambition finally took the first step.

"That's what I said, but the pies that fall from the sky may not be delicious if they look good?" Cheng Dalei said, "Always find out what they have in mind."

After Axi got the order, the spies stationed in Liangzhou City immediately launched an operation to spy on the inside story of this matter. However, this matter was done very secretly, and only Song Bokang and Lu Luo knew about it in Liangzhou City. The spies under Axi inquired about it, but in the end they didn't find any useful information.

Liangzhou City has sent people several times, and the two sides have had close contact. At present, it seems that this matter is almost done.

On this day, Lu Luo came to Toad City again, and was led all the way to the flower hall of the City Lord's Mansion, where Cheng Dalei sat drinking tea.

"Congratulations to Mr. Cheng, Hexi to Mr. Cheng..." Lu Luo hurriedly congratulated him as soon as he arrived.

"Lord Lu, please sit down, I don't know where my joy comes from." Cheng Dalei waved his hand.

"My king has already promised not to send hostages from Toad City, and agreed to let Miss Xue exchange Shuofang City." Lu Luo.

"Oh." This was beyond Cheng Dalei's expectations: "Did the King of Liangzhou really agree?"

"Promise is promised, but there is another request from my king?"

"Speaking?"

"This battle needs the assistance of Toad City, and the Cheng family needs to send a group of troops to help us win this battle."

This requirement is not excessive, Cheng Dalei always has to give Song Bokang something to make him feel at ease.

"I agree to this matter. I don't know if the King of Liangzhou has taken a fancy to my team in Toad City?"

"This is naturally subject to the arrangement of Cheng's family, but if it is the Dragon Character Army, it is naturally best not to."

The Dragon Character Army led by Zhao Zilong was the only cavalry in Toad City. This Lu Luo suffered a loss in the hands of the Dragon Character Army.

Cheng Dalei thought for a while, and then said, "Okay, when the King of Liangzhou needs me, my three thousand dragon character army is ready to be dispatched."

Hearing this, Lu Luo was overjoyed. He negotiated this matter, which was also a great contribution to himself. The lost status and status can be recovered a little bit.

Cheng Dalei repaired a letter himself and asked Lu Luo to bring it to Song Bokang. As for the detailed handover time, the two parties have to determine.

With Cheng Dalei's letter, Lu Luo quickly left. Cheng Dalei sat alone in the flower hall, and suddenly sighed softly: What a pity Bailisheng.

After Lu Luo left, Cheng Dalei sent someone to call Zhao Zilong to the city master's mansion.

"Master, you find me."

"Well, I have something to discuss with you." Cheng Dalei explained the matter to Zhao Zilong in detail.

"This... Let the Dragon Character Army help others to fight?"

"Hey, don't get excited yet." Cheng Dalei said: "If we don't send hostages and soldiers, how could Song Bokang trust us. Letting you go is just to show our sincerity and won't stumble them behind our backs. Son. You don't necessarily need to play, you will always stand by and watch."

"Oh, I understand." Zhao Zilong suddenly realized: "However, I am worried that doing this will damage the morale of the Dragon Army. The boss also knows that the Dragon Army has never suffered a defeat."

The Dragon Character Army is a strong soldier in Cheng Dalei's hands, and they are indeed not very used to failure. It may not be a good thing to kill the invincible spirit of the soldiers in this way.

Cheng Dalei pondered for a moment and said, "Then send other troops to go, but you will still lead them, and you will still use the banner of the Dragon Character Army outside."

Liangzhou and Cheng Dalei finalized this matter, and after mutual transactions, a partnership has been established.

This is a good thing for Cheng Dalei, but not necessarily a bad thing for Song Bokang. He sharpened his knives, and finally he could free up his hands to eliminate Bailisheng's influence in Liangzhou.

There is always a reason for sending troops to fight, and Song Bokang has been concocting this reason recently. He arrested a few Rong tribes for no reason, and from the mouths of these Rong tribes, he learned that they had a secret connection with Baili Sheng.

So he repaired a letter and handed it to the imperial court, saying that Bailisheng secretly colluded with the Rong tribe and plotted against our empire. Without waiting for the imperial court to reply, they rectified the army and dispatched troops to prepare to attack Bailisheng.

As for how those Rong tribes came from, and how the illiterate Rong tribes came up with a detailed confession, no one cared.

Of course, before that, Song Bokang had to complete the handover of Shuofang City with Cheng Dalei, and then he could go all out to deal with Bailisheng.

After the handover between the two sides, Cheng Dalei came to Shuofang City in person to see what was going on in his newly acquired city.
