"There's nothing to say, it's the Northern Expedition. Just say yes or no, and that's it. ”

Cheng Qiyang snorted: "In short, this is a good thing for you, and if you don't agree, you're a pure fool." ”

"Whether it's a panacea or not, it's not up to you to decide."

Guo Yu shook his head slightly, "It is true that sending troops to the Northern Xinjiang may be beneficial to my Great Song Dynasty, but..."

He smiled, "Why should I send troops?" ”

As a town-side general, he can do cheap things sometimes, but that doesn't mean he can act recklessly.

Sitting in this position today, he was already enough to provoke criticism, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at him behind his back, waiting for him to make a mistake.

Such a thing as sending troops without authorization is undoubtedly equivalent to taking the initiative to give someone a handle. The bunch of idle fart officials in Tianlan will definitely attack him in groups. At that time, if the Northern Expedition is a little uncomfortable, I am afraid that even Zhao Qingxuan may not be able to withstand the pressure.

The stakes are serious, and he can't afford to be careless. He would never take that risk unless there was a good reason.

"If you want to teach me to send troops, you have to give a reason."

"Didn't you go to Northern Xinjiang to support Sister Wang, lest Cheng Xiaoya dominate the territory and threaten the northern border of the Song Kingdom?"

"So what?"

"Now here's your chance."

Cheng Qiyang said with a straight face: "Now that Wan Yan Bo is missing, Wan Yan's family has defected, Cheng Xiaoya is like a broken arm, and the entire rear has been made into a pot of porridge, and now is a good time to crusade against him!" ”

"If you send troops to the north, Uncle Wang will lead the army of Dongwu to the west. Faced by enemies on both sides, Cheng Xiaoya will definitely be overwhelmed. When the two armies meet under the royal city, how can he be invincible? ”

"As long as you can recover the royal city and kill the traitors, you Song and my northern Xinjiang will no longer be the enemies of the past, but the benefactor who sends charcoal in the snow. The territory should also form an alliance with the Song Dynasty and help each other. ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Qiyang glanced at Guo Yu deeply, "A battle that has no reason to lose at all, after the battle, you can get a strong ally and the liberation of the entire northern front, if you don't want this, do you think you are stupid?" ”

"I don't know if I'm stupid, but I feel like you're treating me like a stupid."

Guo Yu snorted: "It was true that I supported your brothers and sisters before, but that was only to disturb the situation in your northern Xinjiang. Since there is a fire in the backyard of Cheng Xiaoya, and you have a chance to breathe, isn't this just right? You northern Xinjiang toss by yourself, why should I get involved in this troubled water? Anyway, no matter how hard you fight, you won't be able to hit me. ”

Seeing that Cheng Qiyang still wanted to speak, he waved his hand, "What do you tell me about allies or not allies, what virtues do you have in Northern Xinjiang?" Twenty years ago, your father and my father formed an alliance, but in the past 20 years, you haven't come to make a fuss about anything? ”

At the beginning of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, Guo Yi led the army all the way to the foot of the barbarian royal city, and finally forced Cheng Daya, the king of Xinjiang at that time, to sign an alliance without a fight.

However, although this covenant was signed, the northern frontier did not fall silent, although it did not invade the south on a large scale, but it also harassed the border of the Great Song Dynasty. And after Guo Yi "died", their actions became more frequent, and there were even "horse thieves" knocking on the level.

Since there are lessons from the previous car, Guo Yu will not believe Cheng Qiyang's statement. In his mind, such a covenant was no different from the man's sassy words about the woman. Once you change your mind, it's no different from nonsense.

“… After all, this matter cannot be generalized. ”

Cheng Qiyang, who was weak-hearted, tried to justify, "Back then, Northern Xinjiang was beaten by you to form an alliance, and now you are asked to help form an alliance." The former is not convinced, the latter is grateful, how can this be the same. ”

"Don't come with me to these vain things, how much is your gratitude worth?"

Guo Yu shrugged his shoulders, "Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, isn't it good for me to stay here for the New Year?" If you want me to lead my brothers to the north to suffer during the New Year, you have to show some sincerity. ”

"I said stupid, we are also a lifelong friendship, I think that outside the royal city, you and I brothers joined forces to fight the sword king..."

"What, the lost dog wants to play the emotional card again?"

Huang Qing glanced at Cheng Qiyang, who was smiling all over his face, "In order to escort your brothers and sisters to Dongwu, General Guo left the Sword Blocking King, and almost lost his life. Later, when he came to Dongwu, he first begged me to cure your Uncle Wang, and then went out to help you kill the Wanyan Jiuguo. ”

"Even if there are other plans, how can you say that General Guo is also benevolent and righteous, right? But what about you, and how did you treat him? ”

"A nose is not a nose, a face is not a face, and I don't even give a good face all day long. Later, he drew his sword and tried to force General Guo to hand over me so that they could make that Laoshizi's beauty plan. ”

"You don't have to admit it, I remember clearly that day, you just stood by Wang Minghua's side and pretended to be dead, if it weren't for Her Royal Highness the princess to appear in time, I'm afraid that both of us would be left in Dongwu."

The corners of Huang Qing's lips hooked slightly, and he smiled quite coldly, "Since General Guo was treated like this before, why is he sending troops to help you unfed dogs now?" ”

"You still play the emotional card, are you worthy?"

"It's also General Guo's nostalgia, if you change to me, tonight you're afraid that you can't even enter the mansion."

"You..."

Cheng Qiyang was said by the woman to be red-faced, he knew that he was wrong, and he couldn't even speak for a while.

"Having said that, it's not impossible to talk about the Northern Expedition, but you have to at least let me see some tangible benefits..."

As he spoke, Guo Yu's body suddenly fell to the side. Under the strange gaze of everyone, he leaned softly into Huang Qing's arms, as if he was coquettish, and said lazily: "So, show your sincerity, the empty gloves of the white wolf are not good." ”

"Okay."

Knowing that just what he said could not impress Guo Yu, Cheng Qiyang gritted his teeth, "As long as you are willing to send troops, the food, grass and equipment will be borne by us, and the soldiers who died in the battle will also be compensated, and 100,000 taels of silver will be given as a gift." ”

"Food, grass and equipment, and compensation for the dead are what you should provide, and they are not sincere. As for the hundred thousand taels of silver, it sounds good, but I am not short of silver. So..."

Guo Yu smiled slightly, "These are not enough. ”

100,000 taels is indeed a lot of money, and for ordinary people, it is difficult to save this silver even if they have accumulated more than ten generations.

However, Guo Yu is not an ordinary person after all, not to mention that he doesn't value money very much, just the amount he got from the Yao family far exceeds this amount. So this 100,000 taels of silver, he really can't look down on it.

"Plus a thousand good horses, five hundred ferrets, and five hundred brute knives."

Cheng Qiyang said with some pain: "Northern Xinjiang is a bitter cold place, and this civil strife has made the already not wealthy family even worse. That's the limit of what I'm talking about, and I can't go any more. If you add more, then you won't have to live in the future. ”

"Not enough."

Guo Yu didn't pay any attention to the man's crying poverty.

Northern Xinjiang is poor, but it is not so shabby.

He didn't believe that the huge northern frontier could only take out such a small thing.

“… Plus 100 beauties. ”

Cheng Qiyang sighed helplessly, "Including the Qiaoxi behind me." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qiaoxi and Qianxi were stunned. They didn't expect that they would become one of the benefits of His Royal Highness's Xu Yi Guo Yu. At that moment, Qianxi bit her lip, lowered her head with a red face, Qiaoxi's cheeks were slightly red, and she subconsciously retorted, "We are the personal maids of the two Highnesses, how can we leave..."

"I'm the master, I said I could."

Cheng Qiyang glanced at her angrily.

Others don't know what they think, can he, the master, still be unclear?

Don't look at Qiaoxi's reluctant look at the moment, but in fact, I am afraid that I am already happy in my heart.

Since beating someone and leaving Dongwu, the two of them seem to have lost their souls, and they can't even make a cup of tea on weekdays. And wait until you hear that you are coming

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

After the north, the two girls suddenly became energetic again, and even the most timid Qianxi took the initiative to ask to follow.

If it weren't for this, how could he have sent him and Sister Wang's personal maid away?

Since his heart is no longer here, he simply goes back to being a good person, fulfilling the two daughters, and by the way, he can disgust Huang Qing, a woman who doesn't know what to do, why not?

Cheng Qiyang looked at the woman in the white dress who was hugging the person with a provocative gaze, and then said to Guo Yu: "You and I are quite familiar, let the two of them follow you can rest assured." If you agree, I will leave them behind today and wait with you in the future. ”

"Well, that sounds pretty good... Hiss! ”

Halfway through his words, Guo Yu felt someone's little hand on his waist suddenly tighten, and the heart-wrenching pain made him gasp. suffered a little from flesh and skin, and he hurriedly changed his words: "But no matter how many beauties there are, I am afraid that they can't compare to the number one beauty behind me." ”

"The so-called beauty since ancient times is like a famous general, but not more."

Finding that the fingers that were twisting his flesh slowly let go, the man breathed a sigh of relief and continued to bargain with the other party.

"So, that's not enough."

"Silly, your appetite is too big."

Seeing that the other party was still not satisfied, Cheng Qiyang couldn't help but glare: "Be careful to support you." ”

"It's also my business to die, so you should continue to increase the price."

100,000 silver, 1,000 good horses, 500 ferrets and knives, plus 100 beauties, including even a pair of stunning sisters like Qiao Xi Qianxi... I have to say that such a price is attractive enough.

But Guo Yu believes that this is not the limit of the other party.

Sure enough, seeing that he still didn't let go, Cheng Qiyang finally sighed after being entangled for a long time.

"As long as you can help us to subdue the royal city and regain control of the northern frontier, then the people of Xinjiang are willing to pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty and pay tribute every year, offering five hundred good horses, fifty beauties, and countless gold, silver and jewelry."

"Oh?"

Guo Yu narrowed his eyes.

This... It's kind of interesting.

As far as he knew, even in the former Tang Dynasty, which was the most powerful period in Kyushu, Northern Xinjiang had never had the experience of being a minister and paying tribute.

The Xinjiang people grew up in a bitter cold land, powerful and arrogant, and they who had never compromised even the heavens, so it was naturally impossible for them to bow to Kyushu.

But now, Cheng Qiyang said that he was willing to pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty every year.

What does this mean?

It shows that they are very anxious and urgently need the Great Song Dynasty to intervene in this civil war to end the civil strife in northern Xinjiang.

From this point of view, the situation in northern Xinjiang should be far less optimistic than he said, and once it drags on for a long time, I am afraid that Cheng Xiaoya will once again control the situation.

Thinking about this, Guo Yu's mouth became bigger and bigger.

"Not enough."

Since he knows that you are in a hurry, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to increase the price.

"It's all called the minister's tribute, you don't fucking enough?!"

Cheng Qiyang laughed angrily, "What else do you want?" ”

"Calling the minister Nagong, that is the benefit of the Great Song Dynasty, but I can't get half of it from it."

Guo Yu smiled: "Since you want me to send troops, then you have to let me taste some sweetness again." ”

"Isn't it enough that Yu Da Song is good?! As a minister of the Great Song Dynasty, shouldn't you be more interested in the country?! ”

"Before making a profit, you always have to fill your stomach, right? It's gone, so let's keep adding. ”

"You son of a king..."

Cheng Qiyang didn't expect this person's appetite to be so big, and he was not satisfied with such conditions.

But...

That's really not his limit.

"Good, good, good..."

Thinking of what Sister Wang said to him before leaving, Cheng Qiyang's heart sank.

"Northern Xinjiang can marry with the Great Song Dynasty."

He gritted his teeth at Guo Yu and said, "I am willing to marry the flower of my Xinjiang clan to the general." ”
