Chapter Forty-Eight: The Mission
The Liuyi people have been hit so hard this time that it is estimated that they will not be able to attack and harass the territory of Dafu again in two or three years. However, the area where Liuyi is located is vast and sparsely populated, and it is very difficult to send an army to completely destroy them, and it is a very troublesome problem to supply them first. Ten years ago, a Dafu army was routed by the Liuyi because it went too deep into the hinterland of the Liuyi and finally ran out of food.
Also, if the war lasts too long, the number one enemy of Dafu, the Chu State, will definitely not let go of this opportunity to sneak attack. The most undesirable phenomenon is that if Liuyi is really beaten miserably, and they take refuge in the Chu State, it will be a big trouble for Da Fu.
Therefore, Emperor Fu, at the suggestion of the ministers of the court, prepared to send people to Liuyi to publicize Dafu's policy towards them, so that the Liuyi people could understand Dafu's goodwill. It is best to help Dafu fight against the Chu State, and no matter how bad it is, he can not delay and retreat when Dafu fights against the Chu State.
There was also a long debate about the question of whether or not to send an envoy, who needed to have a full understanding of the policy and be able to speak well. In addition, this person must have a certain status in the court in order to reflect the sincerity of the Dafu court.
Under these prerequisites, Yang Yun's name was quickly proposed. First of all, he was the original proposer of this policy and must have known it very well. In addition, he is a new talent in Dafu, so of course there is no problem with expression. In the end, going out as a prince is enough to represent the sincerity of the court.
When people, there are also objections. Yang Yun is not yet fifteen years old, and in addition, Yang Yun's reputation for being timid and cowardly has also become an obstacle.
Just when the officials of the DPRK and China were hesitating, Yang Ming, the king of victory, stood up and strongly recommended it, believing that Yang Yun had the strength to take on this position. So, Emperor Fu summoned Yang Yun alone to hear his own opinion.
Yang Yun came to this world and has always wanted to make a career, although there are some dangers in this trip, but such an opportunity is rare. If you don't have a dangerous task, you may not be able to take your turn. So, without much hesitation, he accepted the mission.
Yang Yun himself was willing to accept this mission, and the opposition of the DPRK and China was much smaller, because there were 14-year-old people in the surrounding countries who worshiped the prime minister, and Yang Yun was almost 15 years old to serve as an envoy, which was barely acceptable, so the matter was decided.
It was the first time for Yang Yun to take on such an important task, and of course this matter had to be taken seriously. Therefore, in the following days, Yang Yun almost didn't go out, sitting at home to make up for Liuyi's related knowledge.
At the same time, Yao Xia led some good hands, formed a caravan, and set off first, planning to find a place to stay in Yangting, the capital of Liuyi, in case of emergency.
On the sixth day of the eighth month, this is a very auspicious day for the Dafu people, and the court chose this day as the day when Yang Yun set off. The court arranged to be responsible for guarding him
The military general who traveled was called Tang Hongyuan, a strong general of Dafu, and he took 200 elites who had been on the battlefield for a long time, plus Ju Yuanguang and Qi Wei in Yang Yun's mansion, as well as more than 100 guards and servants from the prince's mansion, to form the travel team.
The east gate of Xijing City was full of people seeing them off, the most eye-catching of which were the Jade Concubine Sima Yu and the Shengwang Yang Ming.
"Child, Liuyi has a long way to go, there are many dangerous places on the road, and there are many vicious people in Liuyi........." Erxingqian's mother was worried, Sima Yu was very reluctant for her son to accept such a dangerous task, but her son's attitude was extremely resolute. Therefore, when parting, holding Yang Yun's hand, it seemed that there were endless words and endless tears.
"Old Thirteen, when I was leaving, the imperial brother didn't know what to say, this is my favorite set of soft armor, light to wear, but extremely strong in defense, I'll give it to you!" Yang Ming looked at the younger brother, who had grown a lot taller, and asked his subordinates to hand him a package.
Next, Tieshan father and son, Zhong Wenrui father and son, Yan Feifei all came to say goodbye to him one by one, and even Taifu Zhao Qian sent someone to send a picture with the words "live up to expectations", and Zheng Xiaoqi, who couldn't show up, also sent someone to see him off.
Words of warmth or encouragement, heart-warming gifts, moved Yang Yun. He secretly told himself in his heart that he must do this well on this trip and return safely to live up to everyone's expectations.
Finally about to leave, Yang Yun said goodbye to everyone, the moment he got into the carriage, he turned his head, looked at everyone, looked behind everyone, and wanted to find a shadow that should come, but he never saw it, so he had to turn around and walk into the carriage.
After driving for two or three miles, the group passed a small hillside, and Yang Yun opened the curtain on the horse and looked back at the homeland that was about to leave. Suddenly, I heard the sound of a guzheng, and then someone began to chant.
The line is re-lined, and the king is separated.
More than 10,000 miles apart, each at the end of the world.
The road is blocked and long, and the meeting is safe?
Humayi north wind, over the south branch of the bird's nest.
The days are far away, and the days of clothing and belts have slowed down.
The clouds cover the day, and the wanderer does not care about returning.
Sijun makes people old, and the years are too late.
Don't give up your donations, and try to add more food.
Hearing this voice, Yang Yun immediately knew that this was Chi Li's coming, because this poem "Xing Xing Xing" was the poem that Yang Yun "wrote" to Chi Li. The multi-talented Chi Li composed it and sang it.
Hearing this beautiful voice, Yang Yun's mood suddenly improved, and the disappointment in his heart disappeared into the clouds. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out at the hillside not far away.
On the hillside, a stunning beauty appeared in his eyes. A melon seed face, beautiful and glamorous, a pair of clear eyes staring at him, a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and the thick affection was completely written on her face.
The two looked at each other, but did not say a word, and the carriage went on, and the girl played and sang the song over and over again, and the smile kept on his face. But Yang Yun, who was getting farther and farther away, didn't see it, and the girl's face was still full of tears.
The beautiful figure became more and more blurred, and finally it was impossible to see clearly, and in the end, the sound of the piano and the singing were finally inaudible. Yang Yun pulled down the curtain and sighed softly. But immediately, he opened the curtain again.
Tap, tap, and an urgent sound of horses' hooves alarmed Yang Yun. Sticking out his head and looking back, he saw a sturdy man in his forties galloping on a horse and coming to the back of the team, but was blocked by the soldiers in charge of the guard.
This man, of course Yang Yun knows, he is a middle-aged man surnamed Cao who is responsible for protecting Chi Li. So, he called the soldiers who were guarding and let the middle-aged man surnamed Cao come to his carriage.
The middle-aged man surnamed Cao was obviously in a hurry for a long time, and he didn't have time to wipe the Han bead on his forehead: "Your Highness, this is ordered for you by the young lady, because something happened, it was just done, fortunately, it was still in time." After speaking, he handed a cloth bag to Qi Wei next to the carriage, then turned the horse's head and galloped away.
Yang Yun took the cloth bag from Qi Wei's hand, pinched it with his hand, and found that it was something like a bamboo tube. He unwrapped the cloth that had been wrapped around it, and a metal cylinder appeared in front of him, with holes in the front of the cylinder and a button in the back.
Looking at the cylinder, Yang Yun was able to guess that it should be a weapon. Looking around, I finally found the relevant introduction on the wrapped cloth.
This is indeed a weapon, strictly speaking, a hidden weapon. This hidden weapon called Flying Spring Jin, after opening the protective cover in front of it, and secretly moving the button behind it with your hand, countless steel needles will shoot out, which can make the enemy within ten steps invincible.
Seeing this iron cylinder, Yang Yun smiled, isn't this thing like the peerless secret weapon of the Tang Sect seen in the novels of his previous life, the rainstorm pear flower needle?
This thing is very useful for Yang Yun, who is about to go to a dangerous place. So he put it in his bosom and turned his head to look behind him, though it was impossible to see the beautiful maiden again. But he believed that the girl must have been staring in her direction.
