Chen Ye was negotiating with the barbarians, and the question of how to compensate for the loss was finally 100,000 taels and 500 horses. Silver is a small thing, mainly horses on the steppe, with which better horses can be bred. The endurance of horses on the steppe is inferior to that of the steppe in all aspects, and with this horse it is possible to improve the breed and build a cavalry that can fight against the steppe.

There is also an apologetic letter from the barbarian khan, which is actually a soft obedience, saying that it was done accidentally, symbolizing the compensation of silver, and the letter can be sincere. The imperial court would not go to war with barbarians for an army of more than 10,000 people. Chen Ye went back with horses and 100,000 taels of silver.

On the way back, Chen Ye rejected the Khan's suggestion to send someone, saying that he knew the road. On the way back with this thing, when he was about to reach the border line, Chen Ye ordered the troops to be stationed. Chen Ye stunned Situ Ningdie, and Chen Ye took advantage of the night to take Chen Shiyi to ride to an inexplicable place.

After riding a horse for about two hours, he came to the foot of a mountain, where Chen Forty-six waited, and took Chen Ye to a cave, and after walking through the cave, he arrived at a basin, which was a few kilometers long, to say the least. Perfect for hiding and living. Here Chen Ye met Princess Pingyang.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, you don't have to marry me as the Khan of the barbarians, but you can never return to the Central Plains" It turns out that Princess Pingyang was brought here.

In fact, it was very simple, Chen Forty-six used a special mask to disguise himself as Fan Su'an's subordinates, and the other soldiers disguised themselves as barbarians, and took hundreds of people to snatch the princess and bring it here. Chen Ye's more than 10,000 people and horses were all hidden here, just in case. Chen Forty-six told Chen Ye that he was going to attack this winter. Of course, Chen Ye has to reserve some people here. You can go to the grassland to grab grain and grass. Vegetables can also be grown in the basin, and the mountain can be further expanded.

Princess Pingyang didn't have the slightest sadness, and said with a smile: "I can practice martial arts here, I can listen to them sing and dance if I'm fine, how good it is to go out and fight with a cane if I'm fine, it's better than life than death, thank you Chen Ye" Princess Pingyang hugged Chen Ye tightly.

There are still a lot of doubts about what happened to the princess who was pretending to be a princess. Chen Forty-six said, that is the woman's whole family was killed by the barbarians, we asked her to take revenge on the barbarians, she was very willing, and she herself was seriously ill and could not live long. She'll still be a mute, she won't write, and she'll definitely not leak news. I told her about the situation, and she nodded yes. I disguised myself as Fan Su'an's men to contribute to the looted things and beauties. It turned out that my disguised Fan Su'an's subordinates had already been destroyed by me, and this time there was an additional plan.

Chen Forty-six led his troops and constantly attacked other tribes, causing a gap between Fan Su'an and Adamhan. Now that all the plans are on the surface, Princess Pingyang Han Jing and the little star she admires looked at Chen Ye and hugged Chen Ye hard and didn't let go. There is no way, Chen Ye still has a lot of plans to tell Chen Forty-six, and he has to listen to Chen Forty-six's plans.

Princess Pingyang fell asleep slowly, Chen Ye carried her to the bed, basically the communication was almost over, many things can be decided by Chen Forty-six, don't relax political education here.

"In the future, you will be called Chen Bao, this time you did a good job, I will reward you with a name" Chen Ye patted Chen Bao's shoulder.

"Willing to die for the master" Chen Bao shed tears excitedly, Chen Bao is the only thing that all the children have Chen Ye's reward name, which is a recognition of his work.

"What's going on with Yu Anping?" Chen Ye suddenly burst out.

"Our intelligence shows that Yu Anping eats well on both sides, taking refuge in the grassland on the one hand, and the prince on the other. And the prince seems to have been practicing intermittently with the grassland, and the relationship with Fan Su'an of the grassland is a bit ambiguous. ”

"What?" Chen Ye was surprised, he didn't expect it to be like this. "Your intelligence is correct." Chen Ye also wanted to confirm.

"That's right, the secret agents planted by our barbarians are the same as the news from a large number of secret agents in Fengzhou City" Chen Ye's mind couldn't react.

Chen Ye felt that it was not a short time when he came, and he had to go back quickly. Chen Ye left a letter telling Chen Bao to serve Princess Pingyang well, and she was also a hard-working person. Don't bother with the plan, it's okay and don't let her be too presumptuous and reveal the location. It is possible to try to find another second hiding place in the grassland.

Chen Ye didn't have time to see Princess Pingyang, so he hurried back. Just kidding, can Chen Bao snub this princess? Looking at this princess is interesting to her own master. However, no one can stop the implementation of the plan, and the hiding place must not be revealed.

Galloping all the way, Chen Ye took Chen Shiyi back to the camp tent, and the sky was just a little bright at this time. Chen Ye hurriedly got into the camp tent and saw Situ Ningdie half naked outside, a goblin.

Unexpectedly, Situ Ningdie actually came to the camp by himself and entered Chen Ye's battalion commander

When it was almost noon, Chen Ye got up and returned to Fengzhou City with the team, this time there was no obstacle to enter the city directly, before that, Chen Ye greeted Situ Ningdie in advance, of course Situ Ningdie knew what it meant, and he would definitely not say half a word, according to Chen Ye's prepared speech report.

"Lord Chen has worked hard all the way, and Lord Chen is also a blessed person, as long as it's okay." It seems that Yu Anping knows the basic situation of Chen Ye, and sure enough, Chen Bao's information is accurate, and this Yu Anping has an unknown connection with the barbarians.

"Although the loss of so many people is considered an additional gain, I made it clear to the Khan of the steppe that my chamber of commerce needs cattle, sheep and dairy products. I'm going to set up the location of the transaction in Toyosu Castle, so I don't know if it's convenient for you. Chen Ye threw out an olive branch.

Yu Anping laughed, this is a very oily job. Of course, Chen Ye understood what he meant, "How about the adult taking two percent of my goods transaction?" ”

"Our border soldiers work hard, this money is not mine, it is the border people's, I think the four achievements are okay" Yu Anping opened his mouth is forty percent, he is really ruthless, Chen Ye's purpose is not purely for profit. Rather, it allows the barbarians to be satisfied with the most basic life, and the upper class becomes corrupt. Slowly dismantling the barbarians' combat effectiveness, this process is constantly carrying out cultural exports.

Chen Ye does not need to go through the country to do business, and he can also make changes. Anyway, the imperial court is about to open a mutual market with the grassland. He can also do some business, but this Yu Anping is too greedy, Chen Ye will not move him first for the time being, to see what he wants to do. Who did he take refuge into, Chen Ye's focus now is to prepare for the winter war.

"Thank you, Lord Chen, Your Majesty has approved the border army to expand by 50,000 soldiers and horses again, so that there will be 150,000 soldiers and horses, plus the help of the imperial court. We will definitely be able to defend Fengzhou City," Yu Anping expressed his gratitude to Chen Ye at the banquet.

I didn't expect His Majesty to really agree, but so quickly, it seems that I have to hurry back and see what is going on. Chen Ye wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, Yu Anping had a fancy for five hundred horses, of course Chen Ye would not give them to him, the horses had already descended to the fold.

Thinking of the information that Chen Bao gave him, it seems that this Yu Anping has strengthened his power so much, and he should have other plans.

What exactly is the plan? Chen Ye was a little puzzled.

Chen Ye stayed for a day and then embarked on the way back, leaving Fengzhou City Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief, staying in Fengzhou City is very depressing, the whole city is a huge net, all the people in the city are part of the net, Yu Anping has been operating in Fengzhou City for so many years, and he has long operated the city like an iron bucket, I am afraid that he only knows Yu Anping, and does not know the distant emperor.

"Who do you say Yu Anping is?" Chen Ye said to Situ Ningdie.

"He's a hero," Situ Ningdie thought about it and summed it up.

"Yes, if you can sit in this position, how can you not be a hero?" Facing Chen Ye's emotion, Situ Ningdie knew that after so much contact, I am afraid that Yu Anping underestimated Chen Ye.

This time, when Situ Ningdie left, he didn't bring anything, and when Yu Anping left, he said the location of the title deed again, and asked Situ Ningdie to go there directly and wait for Chen Ye's arrival, she is now a caged bird.

originally thought that Chen Ye thought that the situation in the capital was not so complicated, but now it seems that this game has just begun.
