"I'm here to see Princess Yi.
I didn't come from afar to welcome Princess Yi.
I apologize to Wanwang."
Hongtu immediately led everyone from the Taishou Mansion to salute.
Being able to guess his identity as soon as he spoke out, Qian Dai immediately had a preliminary understanding of the Hongcheng prefect in front of him, who was neither humble nor arrogant.
Sure enough, someone who could be in charge of the northwest granary of Dachu and hold a heavy army at the same time was not to be tolerated. underestimate.
There was some appreciation in my heart, but when I thought of the purpose of my trip, I calmed down my emotions instantly, looked at the people in the inner hall, and then said in a deep voice: "I wonder if the prefect has time to talk to me. " Except for those in power, it is impossible for ordinary people to know about the jade pendant.
If she wants to get the command of an army of 300,000 people, she must have some negotiations with him.
Obviously, it is unwise to talk about it here.
What Qian Dai understood, it was impossible for Hong Tu not to understand, so he respectfully led people to the study room where the meeting was held.
As soon as she entered the study, Qian Dai showed off the jade pendant.
Even though he was prepared, Hongtu was still a little surprised.
He didn't expect that the emperor would hand over the command of an army of 300,000 to a woman, and this woman was a princess from a foreign country.
He already knew about Northern Xinjiang sending troops to intercept the Eastern Shu army.
Although they were not enemies at this time, who could guarantee that they would never be a threat?
What he could not guarantee, Murong Nalan had paid the price With all his trust, he not only gave her the jade pendant, but also handed over the safety of his most important son to him.
He truly admired the boldness of his king.
But no matter what, as a minister, he should trust his king's judgment wholeheartedly.
After a short pause, he bowed his head and said, "I will obey the emperor's will.
I and the 300,000 troops will be at the disposal of the princess."
Hongtu didn't respond with any questions, which surprised Qiandai, but it's always good if things go smoothly.
He slightly raised his hand to support Hongtu's bowing body and said: "Master Hongtu, there is no need to be polite.
When Da Chu is in danger, we will have to rely on the help of adults in the future.”
"This is a minor matter, and we must do our best."
Hongtu said solemnly.
Qian Dai nodded, then Hong Tu continued: "Now, the princess is coming to Hongcheng in person and is preparing to send troops."
Qian Dai did not hide anything from him, nodded and said solemnly: "With your great eyesight, you will definitely not be able to see that based on the current situation, the war-torn world is a sure-fire situation arranged around the prince."
It can be seen that Hongtu was hesitant just now when his subordinates called for troops.
He is a counselor rather than a general.
The people in his hands can only defend the city, but they cannot kill everyone and save King Yi from danger.
Moreover, in his hands An army of 300,000 people, in front of an army of one million people The current situation is basically a drop in the bucket, so even if he sends troops, he will be powerless because he has to make plans for the hundreds of thousands of people behind him.
At this time, when he heard Qian Dai's words, he felt guilty and a little curious.
This Princess Yi, the former Northern Princess The powerful princess of Xinjiang, what will she choose to do?
"I wonder what the princess's plan is."
After thinking about it, Hongtu decided to ask.
Qian Dai paused for a moment, glanced at Hong Tu, and then said, "About this matter, I would like to hear Mr.
Hong's opinion first."
It's not that she doesn't trust him, but she has some plans to absorb one more person's opinions.
Opinions are always good.
But Hongtu didn't think so.
When he heard Qiandai's words, he first felt that Qiandai was testing him.
Such a cautious attitude made him more respectful to Qiandai.
But he didn't mean to hide his thoughts.
After all, the three hundred thousand was the guarantee left by the late king to guard the Hongcheng granary.
Even if Qian Dai wanted to use it, he would try to reduce the casualties of this army.

After thinking for a moment, he bowed and said: "Princess Qi, this army has been handed over to you by the emperor.
Logically speaking, ministers should not interfere in related matters, but since you came to Hongzhou, you should also know The current situation in Hongzhou is that Hongzhou is rich and is known as the granary of the northwest.
Not to mention, half of the food provided by the Chu army has been guarded by Hongzhou.
Therefore, Wei Chen thought that if the 300,000 troops wanted to send troops , All things considered, Wei Chen disapproves."
After saying that, Hongtu raised his eyes and looked at Qian Dai's expression, and then continued: "It's not that Wei Chen doesn't want to help King Yi, but now, Wei Chen feels that it is difficult for Hongzhou to be able to spare his time to help King Yi."
Hearing these words, Qian Dai didn't have too many expressions on her face, but looked at Hong Tu and said: "Master Hong, please continue talking."
Seeing that there was no sad or surprised look on Qian Dai's face, Hong Tu glanced at Qian Dai again, regained his emotions and continued: "The world is in chaos, and wars are everywhere.
Hongzhou is the location of the rich granary.
It is a battleground for military strategists, so there will definitely be a war.
But now, compared to the other three countries, the biggest threat to Hongzhou is now There is one, and that is King Nan.
Now if he wants to continue marching towards the northwest, whether he wants to go deep into the hinterland to give the eldest prince a heavy blow, or he wants to expand his land, what he lacks most is food.
The location of Hongzhou is now far away from where they are.
Lin is only half a day away.
They must have made some preparations in the past few days to raise troops.
Wei Chen thought that they are probably heading towards Hongcheng now. " As this was their first meeting, Hongtu was willing to tell him these words sincerely.
Although it had something to do with Mun Nalan's trust, more importantly, he was a very responsible prefect.
It must be said that Qian Dai secretly felt that I breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that the situation is complicated, someone is willing to sincerely help, at least to make the situation not so bad.
There was more sincerity in Hong Tu's eyes, he nodded slightly, and said in a warm voice: "I know all these."
Without looking at Hongtu's thoughtful expression, he continued: "I wonder if Master Hong has any countermeasures."
Hong Tu did not intend to hide anything from Qian Dai, and said in a deep voice: "Without concealing it from the princess, the official has already made preliminary arrangements for this matter in the past few days.
He first ordered spies to go to various checkpoints to closely monitor the whereabouts of the Nanwang rebels. , reported immediately, and then divided the army into several groups and dispersed it on the outskirts of Hongcheng, just waiting for the arrival of the army.
As for the granary in Hongcheng, just in case, the official has also ordered people to move it secretly. " This was a two-step plan.
He had taken everything into consideration, and Qian Dai had an idea.
Looking at Qian Dai's expression, knowing that she was not dissatisfied, Hong Tu continued: "This is the official's preliminary plan.
In the plan, the army will be used to protect Hongcheng and the millions of people behind it from the flames of war.
The massacre, but this way I might not be able to spare my hands to help the eldest prince."
Hearing the last words that were full of sighs, there was a powerlessness that could not be concealed.
Qian Dai felt a little moved in her heart.
She opened her mouth and said: "Master Hong, there is no need to blame yourself.
Your consideration is not wrong."
"Princess" Hongtu obviously didn't expect Qian Dai to say this, and he didn't understand her attitude
