Ningxu said as if he had just woken up from a dream:

"Huang Shen is a talent!"

The soldiers of Wuxingguo were also stunned by Huang Shen, and as Huang Shen entered the city, the soldiers couldn't help but walk from the outer city wall to the inner city wall, looking at this foolish general, Xiao De walked back happily.

When Ninghui and the others came back, Huang Shen was sitting alone in the front hall, not knowing what he was thinking, with a smirk on his face, everyone had entered the house, and he had not yet come back to his senses.

After everyone sat down, Ning Cheng coughed a few times, and Huang Shen withdrew from his own world, and when he saw everyone, he said happily without waiting for others to ask him:

"Let's arrest Xiao Deze, this is a lucky star, we have to wait for it."

Ningxu asked puzzledly:

"How did you become a lucky star? I don't see any blessing in this lack of morality. ”

Huang Shen smiled:

"He lacks virtue or not, bad or not, that is for others, Xiao Yan values him a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be so indulgent."

Everyone looked at each other, indeed, Xiao De was already bad from the root, and it was so bad, but Xiao Yan still indulged him like this, if he didn't value it, what reason could he have?

Ninghui asked:

"So what?"

Huang Shen smiled:

"So, we can let Xiao Yan ransom Xiao Deze, and if we don't give enough money, we won't let him go!"

Ningxu sighed to Huang Shen again:

"As long as you want to move, you are a talent!"

Huang Shen smiled again, but didn't pick up his stubble.

In Jiankang, Xiao Yan, who was still worried about how to withdraw his troops, suddenly received a letter from Kun Yuguo, Xiao Yan opened it and fell halfway through it, panting with breath:

"Nothing is enough, there is more than failure!"

The palace ladies and eunuchs in the study knelt on the ground one after another, not daring to raise their heads, narrowing their sense of existence as much as possible, and the guards outside tried their best to avoid Xiao Yan's gaze when they saw the situation inside.

Xiao Yan's personal eunuch, kneeling beside him, happened to be not far from him, and secretly glanced at the content of Xiao Yan to redeem Xiao Deze, as well as the captured soldiers, the eunuch calculated, almost half of the people were captured, and he also wondered, how was this battle fought? I haven't heard of any big battles, how can half of them be captured?

However, he only dared to mumble in his heart, he didn't see what Xiao Yan was angry about, who dared not to touch his head now.

Such a humiliating matter, Xiao Yan is not good to discuss with the ministers, besides, can the discussion come up with something? In the court that day, Chen Qingzhi and the others didn't speak, obviously they couldn't beat it, so what else was there to discuss, just give money according to others' requirements.

Thinking of this, my mind paused:

How much ransom do they want?

After taking the letter and reading it carefully, this look is even more popular, because the letter did not mention the ransom at all, although it was not explicitly stated, but it had already been hinted at very clearly, let Xiao Yan look at it himself, and if it was inappropriate, he would not let go.

Xiao Yan directly threw the letter out in a ball this time, and it happened to be smashed on the back of a Gong E, and the Gong E immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, trembling all over, tears flowing, but buried her face between her arms, not daring to let Xiao Yan see her crying, and even bit her lip tightly, before Xiao Yan said to kill her, she would never dare to make a sound.

Fortunately, Xiao Yan didn't notice her, threw away the letter, and then supported his head with one hand and looked out the window to find a way.

This kind of embarrassing thing, Ninghui and they calculated that Xiao Yan didn't dare to publicize it, Ninghui sent a letter with his front foot, and with his back foot, he followed Ningcheng, who had been practiced to make perfect, and made a noise.

What does it mean that good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, Xiao Yan only received the letter here, on the third day of the court, some courtiers raised this matter, Xiao Yan can choke to death, this way, Xiao Deze's evil deeds have caused public anger, he is forced to suppress, and now there is such a stubble thing, Xiao Yan feels that he is going to be seen by the courtiers in this hall full of holes.

This side just fooled the courtiers over, and there was news that the Kun Yu soldiers were pressing the city, not only did the Kun Yu State attack the Liang State, but Yu Wentai also took the opportunity to counterattack the Liang State, Xiao Yan was originally in a state of unhurried Tai Chi, but now it was a little messed up, and the movements were stuck, and it was like dancing a machine dance.

Since Kun Yuguo released the news, the court also knew the situation, so whether Xiao Yan ransomed the soldiers or not, they all had to be ransomed, Xiao Yan was sweating anxiously, calculating how much to give.

However, Kun Yuguo didn't give him too much time to think about it, the battle reports of Guancheng came frequently, and the battle reports with the Western Wei were also frequently sent to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan knew that if he didn't hurry up and decided to ransom, if Kun Yuguo joined forces with the Western Wei at that time, even if the Eastern Wei contained the Western Wei, but with the Kunyu Kingdom, how much could the Eastern Wei Dynasty save the Liang State?

Xiao Yan hurriedly summoned the big and small officials related to the finance, cash, silk cloth, treasures, etc., all kinds of things, and made up 200,000 taels of silver.

Don't think that 200,000 taels of silver is less, the productivity in ancient times was low, five taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to spend for several years, although the commodity economy in the south is more developed than in the north at this time, but barter is still the mainstream.

For example, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, after Zhang Juzheng's reform, the annual revenue of the treasury only reached two million taels; For another example, in "Dream of Red Mansions", Grandma Liu saw a meal of crabs in Jiafu for twenty-four taels of silver, and sighed for a long time. Therefore, being able to make up 200,000 taels is really the limit.

Scraping up these belongings, Xiao Yan hurriedly sent someone to Guancheng to inform Ninghui that he had to stabilize Kun Yu Kingdom first, Xiao Yan suddenly found that in the countries around Liang State, Kun Yu Country was the smallest except for Yinping State and Wuxing Kingdom, but it was the one he was most afraid of, even more fearful than Western Wei and Eastern Wei.

Xiao Yan felt that he was too sad to be the emperor! The dignified Liang country is actually afraid of a small Kunyu country! Aggrieved, so aggrieved!

With all kinds of unwillingness, he sent troops to escort the ransom, and the Kun Yuguo army outside Guancheng did not retreat because of receiving Xiao Yan's letter, Xiao Yan understood that this was not to withdraw the troops without getting the real thing, and felt aggrieved again.

In comparison, Ninghui and them are very happy, 200,000 taels! Huang Shen took the initiative to ask Ying and stayed outside the city of Liang Guoguan.

Ning Cheng quipped:

"Are you going to get into the money?"

Huang Shen's thinking diverged again, and he didn't answer Ningcheng's words:

"Those belongings, you have to follow us, whoever dares to touch them, I will fight with them!"

Ning Cheng was stunned, rubbed his forehead helplessly, and patted his shoulder:

"Go ahead, keep an eye on it."

This time, Huang Shen and Ning Cheng's thinking were on the same line, Huang Shen patted his chest and assured Ning Cheng that he would be optimistic about the money, and then walked happily to Liang Guoguancheng.

The army of Liang sent the property over at the appointed time, Ninghui was busy handing it over, and Huang Shen took the list to check the count, which was more serious than Ninghui.

After the handover of the two parties, the people of Liang returned to Jiankang with Xiao Deze and others, and Ninghui and they were also ready to return to China and give Wu Xingguo almost 20,000 taels of supplies.

If it weren't for Wu Xingguo this time, they wouldn't have been able to extort so much money, they ate meat, so they had to give people some soup, although they didn't give it, Wu Xingguo didn't dare to do anything, but, Kun Yuguo had to rely on Wu Xingguo to contain Yinping Guo, with the two doors of Wuxingguo and Yinping Guo, Liang Guo didn't want to directly attack Kun Yuguo, so Kun Yuguo had to win over Wu Xingguo, and couldn't all be pushed to Liang Guo's side.

Although Yang Zhizhi was rare in those materials, he also knew that these were brought down by Ninghui and them, and they were rare but they didn't have any ideas, but they didn't expect that after Ninghui and them walked to the capital, they unloaded 20,000 taels of materials.

Wuxingguo is a small country, and 20,000 taels can be a lot of wealth for Wuxingguo, which makes Yang Zhizhi feel that he has been hit by silver taels! Surprised, moved, happy and a little confused, Yang Zhizhi didn't know what to say in the face of Ninghui, and in the end, he didn't say anything and went straight to the banquet.

During the banquet, Yang Zhizhi, who had drunk a lot, grabbed Ninghui and said:

"At the beginning, grandpa signed a cooperation project with Kun Yuguo, and he was angry with the old man for several days, but now I think that cooperating with Kun Yuguo is the wisest choice for grandpa."

Ninghui took the opportunity to say:

"Although our cooperation with you has taken some advantage, but for so many years, we have not lost anything to you, forget it, you will not lose."

Yang Zhizhi nodded heavily, pointed to the cans on the table, and looked at Ninghui with some drunken eyes:

"The people love this thing, and if you don't cooperate with you, how can my subjects eat such delicious food? When those children eat this, no matter how bitter the medicine is, they can swallow it, and the smile on their faces is extremely bright, seeing this, I think it's worth it! ”

Hearing this, Ninghui put away his teasing thoughts, and instantly felt that the circles under his eyes were red, and some people who had no image were a respectable emperor, and with respect, he toasted him with a glass of wine.

Ningyan them, after getting the news that Ninghui and others came back, they went to meet outside the capital, when leaving, Ninghui they brought three cars to carry the baggage, Ningcheng they brought three, and now come back, the team surrounded more than ten cars in the middle, the scene was called a spectacular, the faces of the soldiers were beaming, not only because of the triumphant return, but also because of these goods.

Ning Yan and Jiang Yu have been sitting in the carriage, through the curtain, seeing the slowly approaching team, their hearts are happy and proud, Ning Yanle will move like this for a while, and move like that for a while, if it is under the carriage, I am afraid that I will have to dance.

Jiang Yu laughed and whispered:

"How old a person is, how can he still look like a hairy boy."

Ningyan didn't care whether others would see it or not, he hugged Jiang Yu and imprinted a very loud kiss on her cheek, Jiang Yu's face was flushed with shame, and he pushed him away, Ningyan took the opportunity to grab her hand and rub it between her palms.

The team walked to Ningyan's carriage, and if Jiang Yu hadn't dragged Ningyan hard, Ningyan would have rushed out in one step.

Ninghui and others dismounted, and saluted the military generals in front of the carriage:

"Son-in-law, see father."

"See the emperor."

Although Ning Yan tried his best to control himself, his voice was still a little trembling:

"Zhongqing is flat, this expedition, Zhongqing has worked hard, go home and repair for a day."
