Chapter 0952 the heavy weapon of the country(1/2)
It is definitely impossible not to give it. After all, the Wei State has given it. As an ally, the Han Dynasty is unwilling to sell it. It cannot be justified both emotionally and rationally.
It's not okay to ask for too high a price. After all, the price given by Wei is there. As an ally, if the Han Dynasty asks too high a price, is it still an ally?
"The envoy from Wu State is already on the way to Liangzhou. How should we deal with it? It would be better to discuss the countermeasures early."
"Cao!"
Governor Feng couldn't help but curse again.
He finally understood how Liu Bei felt when he faced Sun Quan's lion and asked for Jingzhou.
Of course, Zhuge Lao Yao may have a deeper experience.
Therefore, he must have had the same thought as Liu Bei did at that time, and he did not want to refuse it openly, and then asked the Wu envoy to come to Liangzhou to argue with him.
Thinking of this, Governor Feng's heart moved.
This old demon Zhuge is very evil!
"Who is the envoy of Wu State?"
"Lu Hao, one of the four surnames from Wu County, is the younger brother of Lu Xun."
"Lu Xun?" Feng Yong's expression condensed upon hearing this, "Brother by blood or clan brother?"
"Of course he is a biological brother."
"Do you have any information about Lu Hao?"
As a qualified secretary, Zhang Xiaosi has already prepared everything.
She handed over a document:
"Yes, there are, but I just collected some of the more important relationships and his reputation in Wu. There are no more."
Feng Yong took it, lowered his head and read through it carefully.
From the time he used brown sugar to infiltrate Wu State, Feng Yong had already begun to pay attention to letting people collect intelligence about Wu State.
Especially important ministers like Lu Xun were the top priority for intelligence collection.
Thanks to Lu Xun's attention, Lu Hao, as Lu Xun's younger brother, is naturally also a direction for intelligence collection.
Although it's not much, it's enough for Feng Yong to analyze some situations.
After reading, Feng Yong knocked on the table and frowned slightly:
"You are a gentleman! This will not be easy to handle."
Although Lu Hao can be regarded as a descendant of a noble family in Wu County, he is a person who abides by friendship.
As long as he comes from a poor background but has great ambitions, he is willing to have sincere friendship with him.
Because of his reputation, people from the same county, even if they were strangers to Lu Mao, were willing to entrust their orphans and children to him.
Lu Hao also lived up to his trust, not only built the other party's grave, but also adopted the other party's young son.
The protagonist Lu Ji in "Lu Ji Huai Orange" is the head of the Lu family and the uncle of Lu Xun and Lu Mao.
But when Lu Ji died, he would rather entrust the child to Lu Mao to raise him than to entrust it to Lu Xun who helped him support his family.
From this we can see how much Lu Hao is a person and how trusted he is by others.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a gentleman.
Of course, a gentleman can bully others, but similarly, if a gentleman comes for justice, then no matter how hard you bully the other party, he will not shrink back due to setbacks.
Now the state of Wu is asking the Han for horses to form a cavalry army, precisely for the purpose of Han and Wu vowing to ally with each other to defeat Wei.
This can be said to be righteous.
At least in the eyes of people like Lu Hao, this is where integrity lies.
As for whether Sun Shiwan can defeat the Wei thieves after he has a cavalry army...that is what General Wu has to consider.
Instead of what Lu Hao has to consider during this trip, he will only consider how to achieve the purpose of this trip.
"There is one more thing that needs attention," Zhang Xingyi reminded, "this time the deputy envoy of Wu State is Zhang Bai."
Zhang Bai is Zhang Wen's younger brother.
The Zhang family, like the Lu family, is also one of the four clans in Wu County.
Zhang Bai personally came to Liangzhou two years ago to interview Feng Yong about selling grain in Jingzhou.
He can be regarded as the representative of the comprador family of Wu State supported by Feng Yong, or Xinghan Hui.
"So Sun Quan is determined to get the war horse from the Han?"
After Feng Yong learned that Zhang Bai was the deputy envoy, he couldn't help but muttered.
After all, after Sun Quan deposed Zhang Wen and exiled Zhang Bai, he simply wanted to kill everyone.
If the Zhang family hadn't met Feng Yong, they would have been agents of the brown sugar business.
No matter how deep-rooted the Zhang family is, it will probably damage their vitality and lurk for a while.
When Zhang Wen went on a mission to Shu, he admired Feng Yong very much. After returning to Wu, he never concealed his appreciation for Feng Langjun's articles.
Although the two have never met, they have always exchanged letters. The so-called making friends through letters is a beautiful thing known to the world.
In addition, the Zhang family later became the largest brown sugar agent in Wudi.
To say that the Zhang family has no friendship with Feng Yong is to tell lies.
In order to seek horses from the powerful Han, Sun Quan actually ignored his previous suppression of the Zhang family and pulled Zhang Bai out as an envoy.
This kind of shamelessness is indeed rare in the world.
This is simply a threat: Either give it to Ma, or Zhang Bai will do something bad.
However, the relationship between the Zhang family and Lu Hao is extremely close.
The daughter Lu Ji entrusted to Lu Mao to take care of was Lu Yusheng, who is now Zhang Bai's wife.
Thinking of this, Governor Feng couldn't help but "tsk":
"It seems like this horse has to be given away."
Zhang Xiaosi still has a long way to go when it comes to intelligence analysis, but she is still very sensitive to intrigues:
"It was originally meant to be given, otherwise the Prime Minister wouldn't have just refused?"
"It's just that I still have to ask for your opinion on the matter in Liangzhou, so I asked the Wu envoy to come here."
"Now we can only think about how to give less..."
Zhang Xingyi was also a little worried and subconsciously put his fingers in his mouth to chew on it.
"Give them all."
Governor Feng said unexpectedly.
"Ah? Are you crazy? No!"
Present were not only Secretary Zhang, but also General Guan, Liao Changshi and other key officials of the governor's office.
After all, they must be informed about this kind of thing.
However, Liao Hua always knew the purpose of being sent here by the Prime Minister.
Coupled with his relationship with the Guan family, he is usually willing to be a tool.
After all, with Feng Guiwang Xiaowenhe's reputation and his achievements over the years, there are only a few people in the world who dare to show off in front of him, whether they are herdsmen or military leaders.
As for General Guan, she had no intention of speaking at first.
After all, this kind of thing is not her specialty.
But when he heard that Governor Feng was so generous, he immediately objected.
It is true that horses are produced in Liangzhou.
But only the best horses can be selected into the army as war horses.
Otherwise, the combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
The horses used by Hu Renyi in the army were basically the second-class horses left over from the Liangzhou governor's office.
Some of them can't even join the battle formation and can only be used as pack horses.
Therefore, 3,000 war horses must be carefully selected from at least 20,000 or even 30,000 horses.
Even if there are horse farms now and stallions specially collected and bred, it would take more than 10,000 horses to select 3,000 war horses.
How much time, manpower, and material resources would it take to raise 10,000 mature horses?
This time, it is not an exaggeration to say that Sun Quan dragged down Liangzhou's armament, delayed the Guanzhong War, and bought Wei more time to prepare.
"You have to give it anyway. If you give it less, it will make Wu people dissatisfied, so it is better not to give it."
Feng Yong shook his head.
Isn't this what Liu Bei and Guan Yu did back then?
