Volume 3 The Two Capitals Chapter 50

Looking at Ma Yuanyi and Bo Cai who were slowly walking out from behind the tent, Chu Yan's eyes were almost out of their sockets, he couldn't help but take a step back and shouted, "Senior brother! Third Senior Brother! ”

Zhang Jiao received hundreds of disciples, many of whom were unknown, and many of them died early. Only twelve big disciples are famous, Ma Yuanyi is the first disciple, and he rules over hundreds of thousands of disciples in Jing and Yang Prefectures, and his status is almost the same as Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, and Bo Cai, as the commander of the Daqu in Yuzhou, is also the leader of one of the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army of the Three Roads, which is naturally extraordinary. Although Tang Zhou monopolized a place in the Heavenly Stems Branch, he was only the ninth disciple of Zhang Jiao, which was a step higher than Chu Yan, who was ranked eleventh.

In fact, among Zhang Jiao's many disciples, only a few of them have been able to hold power, such as Chu Yan's first-class, not even as good as Zhang Mancheng, Yan Li, and Bu Ji, and even less than Ma Yuanyi and Bocai!

Although Yang Feng and Bai Que didn't know Ma Yuanyi and Bo Cai, they also understood who the "senior brother" and "third senior brother" in Chu Yan's mouth represented, and they couldn't help but lose their color together.

"Eleventh brother!" Ma Yuanyi nodded with a smile and said, "I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed!" ”

"Old Eleven!" Bocai was anxious to make a difference in front of Nanying, but he reprimanded him impatiently: "What kind of thing are you kid? Didn't you see that Senior Brother and I had already thrown into General Nan's account? With your kid's shallow qualifications, you also want to sell at a price? ”

"Little brother doesn't dare! Little brother doesn't dare! "In Taiping Dao, Chu Yan has always been most afraid of Zhang Bao, Ma Yuanyi and Bo Cai, but now although things have changed, he still doesn't dare to disobey them.

"It's good if you don't dare!" Bo Cai said with a big grin: "Other people, senior brother and I can't care, but how can the old brothers of Taiping Dao ignore it?" Among the twenty-five leaders of Taihang Mountain, how many of them are from Taiping Dao? ”

"Well, this one!" Chu Yanwei thought for a while and said: "There are also Huanglong, Lei Gong, Wulu ......."

"Say what?" Bocai glared and said, "Who told you to say these bandits?" Report their real names! ”

"Yes!" Chu Yan smiled bitterly: "They are the ...... in the original sect"

Hearing him report eight names in one breath, Ma Yuanyi nodded, waved his hand, and said: "It turned out that these unsuccessful boys now dare to claim the title of king!" When you go back, tell them that I am not qualified to discipline the other leaders, and that these men must lead the crowd out within three days, and I will guarantee their future. Otherwise, they will surely die! ”

Chu Yan heard the sweat on her forehead, but she could only bow down and say, "Yes!" The little brother must pass the word on! ”

Yang Feng and Bai Que looked at Chu Yan's bitter face, and couldn't help but change color on their faces. The three of them came to negotiate together, but they didn't know that the issue had not yet begun, and an important person on their side had already been pressed into submission, and it was not difficult to see from Chu Yan's performance that most of the other eight leaders from Taiping Dao would also bow down and be vassals, how could this be good? Zhang Niujiao has personally explained that he must have the upper hand in the negotiations and strive for the greatest interests. If you continue like this, I'm afraid that your side will be defeated!

"Yuanyi, Bocai, you two are too arrogant!" Nan Ying opened his mouth to break the dull and oppressive atmosphere, and he waved his hand lightly and said, "Several leaders are guests from afar, how can you be so aggressive? Not all sitting down yet? ”

Yang Feng, Bai Que, and Chu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly thanked them and took their seats.

"Recruit peace!" Nanying smiled: "It's only now that we have to officially start!" However, Ben will state in advance that Ben will not know how to negotiate, but he will know how to distinguish friend from foe. No matter how you choose, as long as you can get out of this door today, you will either be friends or enemies, please remember! ”

The three leaders jumped in their hearts at the same time, and this naked threat sounded now, not only did it not have the slightest bluff, but it overwhelmed them a little.

Chu Yan's heart was inexplicably relieved, and there seemed to be a kind of relief in her heart, because of the relationship between Ma Yuanyi and Bo Cai, she was probably going to make a stand today, which may be a blessing or a curse! He suddenly thought of Zhang Bao's fate that day, and couldn't help but feel a thrill all over his body. With the iron-blooded style of this Eagle Yang Zhonglang General, once he becomes his enemy, then he can only rest until death!

"General Rongyu!" Bai Que glanced at Chu Yan, saw through his thoughts, and spoke first: "Of course, we sincerely want to submit, but the conditions proposed by the general are too strict, if the general can make appropriate concessions, we will naturally only look forward to the general!" ”

"Are you waiting?" Nan Ying tasted it lightly in his mouth: "Can you represent the twenty-five family leaders?" ”

"Of course!" Bai Que's heart was slightly cold, but he did not hesitate to say: "Although the general can go and inquire, with the strength of the three of us, it is enough to rank in the top ten among the twenty-five leaders, and now that I am all three, does the general still have doubts?" ”

"You farrow! Not kind! Nan Ying stretched out his hand and nodded at him from afar, and said with a smile: "I will know that the three of you are all powerful factions, but above you, isn't there still a bull's horn?" ”

He looked at the slightly discolored faces of the three people, and said to himself: "And your twenty-five families are not monolithic, the strength of Yu Poison, Bai Huan, and Zhenggu is not under you, but they are not in the same position as you, but there is such a thing?" ”

Bai Que's face instantly became gloomy, although the contradiction between their group of people led by Zhang Niujiao and the faction of Yu Poison, Bai Huan, and Zheng Gu became more and more acute, but for the sake of the overall situation, both sides tacitly maintained convergence, and regarded it as an internal secret. Even among the twenty-five leaders, there are still many people who have not seen the mystery in it.

And how did the Eagle Yang Zhonglang in front of him know? Don't? He was shocked in his heart, and looked at Yang Feng and Chu Yan, but saw that the two of them could not hide their consternation.

It shouldn't be the two of them, it seems that there is someone else who leaked the secret, who could it be? Bai Que tried his best to break free from his hesitation, and said lightly: "It seems that the general has already done a lot of hard work on us, so we will tell the truth in the future!" ”

"Although a few of us came on the orders of the eldest brother Zhang Niujiao, we can represent at least half of the millions of people in Taihang Mountain!" He smiled proudly and said: "This capital is not small, as for whether it can represent all the people, how big is the difference?" ”

"And crucially!" Bai Que looked at Nan Ying's thoughtful expression, and couldn't help but smile triumphantly: "The general needs us to take the first step in this move." With us as pioneers, we can completely open up the situation of Zhao'an! ”

"You have a lot of truth in what you say, and it has quite a lot of rendering power!" Nan Ying nodded and said, "You shouldn't be the leader of the outcasts, but you are suitable to be a lobbyist!" ”

Bai Que and Yang Feng smiled together.

"But despite your confidence, you still seem to have forgotten a few things!" Nanying stretched out a finger: "First, you have nested in the mountains and occupied a good place, but you will eventually starve because of population growth, and in the end you are just waiting for death; Second, when you are hungry and panicked, there are only two ways, one is to go out of the mountains to attack the county, and the other is to kill each other and grab food, no matter which road you take, it is a dead end; Third, if the general wants to destroy you, he doesn't need to use a knife at all, as long as he smashes out a few official hats and throws tens of thousands of stones of grain, there will naturally be mercenary people among the twenty-five leaders who will carry your heads to surrender! ”

"Are you awake?" Nan Ying looked at the pale faces in front of him and sneered, "Is the truth going to be for you?" I am mindful of the virtue of God's good life, and I have come to give you a way to live! So ......."

"Stop playing tricks in front of the general! Because you can't afford to play! He said contemptuously: "The facts are in front of you, the future is in your hands, now it is only you who need to make the right choice!" ”

Bai Finch's hand couldn't help but tremble, there was a mole! There are definitely some of the twenty-five leaders who have already taken refuge in the court, otherwise how could Nanying find out the situation in the mountains clearly?

In fact, Bai Que didn't know that the leaders of the twenty-five families did not send anyone to contact the official army, and all the information was transmitted through Zhang Liang's old department in the Taihang Mountains.

He exchanged a look with Yang Feng again, and said dejectedly: "Okay! Zhang Niujiaobu and our three departments are willing to accept the court's recruitment, but I don't know how the general can guarantee that the court will forgive our old accounts? ”

"Old accounts?" Ma Yuanyi showed a sarcastic smile: "Don't you think it's too ridiculous to ask this kind of question?" The old account tied up by the four of you can still be higher than me? And I am now sitting in front of you, which is the best guarantee! ”

"Senior brother has a point!" Chu Yan's eyes lit up and blurted out.

"This! What Mr. Ma said is good! Seeing Ma Yuanyi appearing to say the law, Bai Que was also speechless. In terms of momentum, prestige, and influence, the four of them are indeed not worth one Ma Yuanyi when they are added together.

"General, the matter has come to this, and the lives of my brothers are in your hands! Please don't break your promise! Yang Feng said slowly: "And the generals proposed that the soldiers surrender and reorganize, the people go out of the mountains and return to their hometowns, and the leaders are sealed and listened to, how should they be arranged, please explain it in detail!" ”

"Isn't that already clear?" Nan Ying was surprised: "Of course, the warriors want to surrender to the Han, as for how to reorganize, that is your people, can you manage it?" And the people went out of the mountains......."

"What!" Chu Yan, Yang Feng, and Bai Que shouted at the same time: "What did the general say? ”

"What's wrong?" Nan Ying was interrupted, obviously not very pleasant, and frowned: "All the fuss, what are you talking about?" ”

"The general said that the reorganization of the soldiers is a matter for us? What does this mean? Chu Yan said cautiously.

"Isn't this nonsense?" Nan Ying's eyes rolled: "Your people, of course, will be under your command after the reorganization, do you still want to hand it over to the general?" ”

"This! This! The three of them were pleasantly surprised, and they couldn't say it all.

"Of course, the men and horses under your command will be subject to certain restrictions, such as the quota of soldiers, the establishment of a station, the acceptance of supervision, and so on!" Nanying said in a deep voice: "There is only one, after the reorganization, it is the Han soldiers and horses, and they must accept the transfer of the court at any time, if they dare to shirk the war, or preserve their strength, or even support their own troops?" Hum! I don't need Ben to tell you what happened! ”

"Thank you, General, for your kindness!" The three of them dared to complain any more, and bowed down together. As long as you have military power, your own security will be as stable as Mount Tai, and glory and wealth will follow one after another.

"When the people go out of the mountains and return to their hometowns, this matter is still up to you!" Nanying stood up: "The people have been war-torn and have been miserable, although they are forced to hide in the mountains, but who would not want to return to their roots?" ”

"This matter must be handled quickly!" He waved his hand and said, "And most of the soldiers and horses under your command are the children of these people, and in the future, you will be fully responsible for protecting the people!" Are there any difficulties? ”

"General, you ......" Even Bai Que took a deep breath, and his eyes revealed a deep feeling of gratitude: "I have thanked the general for those people!" ”

"There's a problem!" Chu Yan said suddenly: "The general ordered us to act quickly, but I and other four subordinates, at least more than 100,000 people, now the weather is still cold, they lack clothes and food, I am afraid that it will be difficult to move out of the mountain!" ”

"Don't hide it from the general!" He lowered his head: "Our department has actually run out of food, if it weren't for this, how could it be so easy to go out of the mountains to find food?" The five hundred brothers ......"

"Don't worry about this!" Zhang Mancheng smiled and continued: "Your five hundred people will go back with you in a while!" It's just that they eat and live here, I'm afraid they don't want to go back? ”

Yang Feng and Bai Que glanced at each other, and also nodded: "Although we have not yet run out of food, we have already cut back on food and clothing!" ”

"That's it!" Nan Ying thought for a while and said, "Winter clothes, there is really no way, as for the food?" ”

He shouted: "Come on, spread Sima straight into the account!" ”

"Back to the general, there are 9,000 stone of military rations in the army!" Sima Zhi didn't need to check the document at all, so he reported it in one mouth: "It's enough to supply the army for two months!" ”

"Bring 8,000 stones to them, and the family will divide 2,000!" Nanying said categorically: "Immediate delivery!" ”

"What?" Several people were shocked at the same time, and Chu Yan, Yang Feng, and Bai Que shouted: "How can we be brazen enough to occupy military rations? ”

Sima Zhi also shouted: "General, if there is only 1,000 stone of military rations left in the army, once it cannot be connected, it will definitely cause confusion in the army's mind!" ”

"Shut up!" Nan Ying scolded: "There are priorities, didn't you hear Chu Yan say that the people have run out of food?" Shall we let them starve to death? ”

Yang Feng and Bai Que were shocked when they heard this, and they saluted Nanying deeply together, and Chu Yan fell to the ground even more, and her eyes were red.

Nanying sighed, stepped forward to help Chu Yan and said, "Tell the people to save some food, and Ben will try to get some more food as soon as possible, and strive for them to be transported after they leave the mountain!" ”

"Starve a man to death! Ben will whip you! He pressed Chu Yan's shoulder hard: "Do you dare to promise?" ”

"Dare!" Chu Yanhu said with tears in his eyes: "General Gaoyi! I know today why the two senior brothers are willing to serve the general! ”

"Excellent! Now for one last thing, the canonization of the chiefs! Come! With a wave of Nanying's hand, a Han soldier carried a wooden plate with three small copper seals on it.

"This is the seal of the three!" Nan Ying said solemnly: "Ben will give orders on behalf of heaven today, and seal Chu Yan as the captain of Pingnan, Yang Feng as the captain of Montenegro, and Bai Que as the captain of Jianyi!" ”

The three of them knelt down together and thanked them respectfully.

"Congratulations to the three generals!" Nanying smiled: "Today can be described as a rebirth and a new person!" In the future, you and I will be generals, and we should work together to protect my country! ”

"General!" Chu Yan got up and wondered, "Why didn't my eldest brother Zhang Niujiao have an edict?" ”

"Zhang Niujiao himself has not arrived, how can he be sealed? If he doesn't come to thank him personally, where will he put the Son of Heaven? Nan Ying said solemnly: "Go back and tell him that there will only be a total of ten captains' edicts, first come, first served!" If you don't come for a long time, you can only be a military horse! ”

"Yes!" The three of them responded awe-inspiring together.

"Ladies and gentlemen! We're done! Nan Ying had a warm smile on his face: "This general will hold a banquet here, celebrate the joy of the three generals, and congratulate you on the reunion of your brothers after a long absence!" ”
