Chapter 74: Good Birds Choose Wood
Carriages and horses swayed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Ling lifted the curtains, the roadside was no longer lush, but gradually empty, and after a walk, he arrived at General Fu's camp.
Unlike General Wang Tong, General Fu personally went out to greet him, his face was very serious, and he could be described as ruthless.
When he arrived at the camp, General Fu knelt down on one knee and bowed his hand, "The old minister greets the Fifth Highness." ”
Gongzi Zheng was secretly surprised, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to help, "General Fu, what are you doing, it's really torturous to the juniors." ”
After politely taking their seats, General Fu asked, "Is there anything wrong with the Fifth Highness?" ”
Gongzi Zheng said, "General Fu, I do have something to ask for. ”
General Fu didn't have any expression on his face, "Your Highness, please speak." ”
Gongzi Zheng said it as it was, and the more General Fu listened, the tighter his eyebrows wrinkled, and when Gongzi Zheng finished speaking, he said, "I understand what His Highness said, I can only promise His Highness, when it is necessary to suppress the dispatch of troops, I will send troops, and nothing else can be guaranteed." ”
General Fu did not refuse, but to this extent, Gongzi Zheng already felt grateful. Although, this is not much of a help.
After another polite gesture, Gongzi Zheng left.
Back in the town, when Gongzi Zheng and Chen Ling were discussing how to persuade Zhang Huiyu to surrender, Cheng Xin walked in.
"What's the matter?" Childe Zheng asked.
"Your Highness, good news, Xixia has got the Tiger Talisman." After speaking, he took out the tiger talisman.
Gongzi Zheng held the tiger talisman, only to feel that the tiger talisman was warm. He glanced at Chen Ling, and Chen Ling was also smiling faintly, with this tiger talisman, he was already half successful.
"Was General Ran escorted away?" Childe Zheng asked.
"I've been escorted away." Cheng Xin replied, seeing that there was nothing wrong, he retreated to the side and sat down, picked up the wine bag on his waist and smelled two sips of wine, then twisted it tightly and hung it on his waist, picked up the water bag and drank two sips of water.
Cheng Xin never drinks, but he has a wine bag hanging on his waist, Gongzi Zheng once told her that this is because once Cheng Xin was drinking, it happened that he had a poisonous attack, fortunately Die'er found out in time at that time, otherwise he would have died, and Cheng Xin never drank again. If you are hungry, you will smell it.
Cheng Xin said again, "By the way, An Ruoxie has already arrived in Wanzhou, and we can enter the city." ”
"Good! Thank you for your hard work, go and rest! After speaking, he held Chen Ling's hand again, "Ling'er, I'm going to work hard for you." ”
"What does Your Highness say, wait for me to return triumphantly!"
Outside Wanzhou.
The breeze blew, and a convoy came slowly, at the front was a luxurious carriage, two tall horses with red red heads stood tall in front, followed by a dozen or so carriages, all of which were large boxes of sandalwood, accompanied by a team of dart masters.
When the car reached the city gate, it pulled over, and the entourage also stood there, motionless, not caring about the people who came and went to watch.
There was a long queue at the gates of Wanzhou City, and everyone who passed by had to be carefully checked.
Because it is a military location, there should be no sloppiness.
After a while, I saw a fox on a big horse, walking out of the city gate, this person was gorgeously dressed, it was An Ruoxi.
People who don't know each other are all sideways, talking to each other, and words like "the first businessman in Yizhou" come out of the crowd from time to time.
I saw An Ruoxie actually riding a horse to the luxurious carriage at the door, got off the horse, and bowed respectfully.
There are even more curious people in the crowd looking around, who can make An Ruoxie so respectful?
I saw the carriage open the curtain, and a man with a clean face, clear eyes, and a slight smile on the corner of his mouth stepped out of the carriage, and his gestures were noble and easy-going.
The two of them exchanged pleasantries, and the prince got into the carriage, and An Ruoxie also rode on the horse to lead the way, and the prince's convoy followed.
When they came to the city gates, who did not know what was going on? An Ruoxie was also very polite, and saluted to the official who took the lead, "Official, this is my partner, and now he is coming to Wanzhou City to do business, and his name is Gongzi Ling." ”
Gongzi Ling opened the curtain when he heard the sound and smiled politely at the official. The officer and soldier were immediately amazed by the people in the car, nodded their heads again and again, and let them go.
The convoy was huge, with twenty wagons and hundreds of escorts, all tall and mighty.
All the vehicles were arranged in the territory of An Ruoxi, and the son of An invited Gongzi Ling to travel around the city, and went to the best restaurant in Wanzhou City to eat and drink.
Now in charge of Wanzhou City is the original deputy general Zhang Huiyu.
When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, this Zhang Huiyu was already waiting there. The three of them had a polite conversation and the banquet began.
Although An Ruoxie has a calculating face and a restlessness in the fox's eyes, he is born to be able to speak, and Zhang Huiyu, the deputy general who coaxes people who don't like to talk, is also full of smiles.
But Zhang Huiyu is not a fool, he is calm and shrewd, these are the two rich people who have come to Wanzhou at present, this Gongziling looks very young, but looking at An Ruoxie's respectful appearance towards him, this Gongziling must also be a rich man.
In the future, the tax gap in Wanzhou City can be filled by these two people.
Now that heavy taxes are levied everywhere, and there is a great drought every year, the people are miserable, and they can't be pushed too quickly, otherwise they will kill people.
Every time you pay taxes, it's a headache.
Gongziling had been observing Zhang Huiyu during the banquet. Zhang Huiyu knew Gongzi Zheng and Cheng Xin, so it was inconvenient for them to come forward, so she could only come this time.
This person is related to the victory or defeat of the battle to seize the city, if he can't be pulled, he can only kill him quickly.
It's easy to kill him, but it's hard to control his soldiers. It would be great if they could recruit the soldiers who had descended with him.
Gongziling has been pondering how to open this mouth.
Gongziling's fingers tapped on the tabletop, and An Ruoxie suddenly stopped talking. General Zhang, who was about to toast, also felt strange and stopped talking.
Gongziling smiled lightly and said slowly, "General Zhang is an all-round man in civil and military affairs, it's a pity to be a deputy general." I heard that although General Ran was escorted into Yecheng, General Zhang is also a substitute, and after a while, there will be a new general defending the city of Wanzhou to preside over the overall situation, General Zhang is a little unwilling? ”
This sentence hurt him vividly. He knew the reason, just because he was once a general of the Chu State, and the victory was decided at that time, he couldn't bear to let his brothers lose their lives in vain, and there were still their families in this Wanzhou city, their parents and children waiting to take care of them. So he endured the humiliation and surrendered with his brothers. But now it is a despised surrendered army. Over the years, he has understood that this Wanzhou City will never use him as the main general, he will always need to obey others, if it is not for the sake of his brothers, this deputy general should not be.
He didn't say anything, he didn't have anything to say, smiled bitterly, raised his glass and drank it all.
Gongzi Lingxin said that he was really unwilling, and continued, "Good birds choose trees to perch, and Maxima has to meet Bole, and General Zhang is talented." ”
