Chapter 32: The Dazzling Palace

Zhang Yuan asked Tang Meng when Yelang Hou Duotong left.

"Can we take all the soldiers to the palace in the middle of the city?"

Tang Meng showed a look of embarrassment.

"I'm afraid not."

Although Duotong didn't mention this matter, at the moment, it was really whimsical to want to directly drive an army of more than 1,000 people into someone else's palace regardless of the people of Yelang Country.

Zhang Yuan thought for a moment, and immediately ordered.

"Mr. Jifu will join me with all the soldiers in the army into the county seat, and Lieutenant General Lang and Huang Changshi will be stationed directly here, if we find that we are fighting with the soldiers of Yelang Kingdom, immediately bring the troops into the city."

The tallest building in the county town is this palace, and from the entrance of the valley, you can completely see the whole palace.

Zhang Yuan is not worried that Tang Meng and Huang Changshi will come to the rescue, he now represents Liu Che's face, if he dies in the county town, Tang Meng will definitely die, plus if he is blessed, Tian Wei will not be able to spare him.

Tang Meng lowered his head and thought for a while, silently calculating the feasibility of Zhang Yuan's plan in his heart, he still had absolute power over the army, if he didn't agree, Zhang Yuan would not be able to command the thousand army.

"According to what the envoy said, the last general must guard this place, and the envoy will not leave the city, and the last general will not let anyone leave."

"Okay, Mr. Jifu, let's go."

Zhang Yuan lifted the reins and followed the Yelang soldiers brought by Duotong towards the county seat. Behind him were more than a hundred well-equipped armor soldiers, as well as the officials of the mission, although the number was a little smaller, but it was still able to attract the attention of the people of the surrounding Yelang Kingdom.

The county town is about the same size as the city of Jiangzhou, and nearly 10,000 or so people of Yelang live here, and the thatched houses of all sizes are surrounded by the stars and the moon in the middle.

Before it was far away, Zhang Yuan had no way to feel the beauty of this palace, and when he got closer, Zhang Yuan found that this palace was completely built against the mountain.

The waterfall on the mountain is supposed to be a dam built by the Yelang people in the middle of the river to divide the river in two, and when the whole waterfall falls, it only splashes mist on both sides of the palace.

With the dazzling sunlight, Zhang Yuan could see two rainbows, and the places where these two rainbows disappeared happened to be the location of the main hall.

The people of the Han Dynasty are all ignorant to Zhang Yuan, let alone the people of Yelang Kingdom.

If these people do not know the principle of light refraction, they will probably always worship the owner of the palace as a god.

"Is it possible that this Yelang country is really rich to this point?"

Ji Fu couldn't feel the beauty of the palace, and his eyes were always in the canals in the palace.

I don't know if Duotong is intentional, or if the customs of Yelang Country are like this, and the canal is full of golden sand and some colorful gems.

The sparkling can no longer be described, Zhang Yuan saw so many objects that could fully refract the light, and all he felt was dazzling.

Duotong, who was still sitting on the sedan chair in front, heard Jifu's words, and the corners of his mouth curved into a beating.

Zhang Yuan said disdainfully to Ji Fu.

"I told my husband before that gold and gemstones are just beautiful, and if they don't have the meaning given to them by nobles, they are just useless stones.

You see that the Marquis of Yelang can put the gem golden sand in these canals, but he can't let the people of Yelang Kingdom under his command eat their stomachs and get dressed, do you still think these things are useful? "Look at the Chinese network

Zhang Yuan now looked at Duotong with only pity in his eyes, obviously this tribal chief in a remote mountainous area did not understand the truth that wealth was not exposed.

Before entering the main hall, all these armored soldiers who came with Zhang Yuan were stopped outside, and Zhang Yuan could only bring Jifu, Erdan, Zongxing, and Li Jian Huozhong into the main hall.

Like a peacock, Duotong stepped onto his chair made of pure gold.

In the middle of the throne is a palm-sized malachite, you must know that even Liu Che does not have such a throne, and the Xiongnu only sits under the buttocks of the military ministers.

Jifu has not concealed the greed in his eyes at all.

Being in such a palace, the most important test is people's willpower, once you can't restrain the greed in the depths of human nature, something not so good will happen.

Ji Fu now wants to let Tang Meng immediately enter the city with a large army and implement the three-light policy.

"Yelang Hou, the Son of Heaven sent me here to discuss with Yelang Hou about the recruitment of people from Qianwei County.

Since the country of Yelang has been classified as a border county of my Great Han, then the laws of the Great Han should also be implemented here, including forced labor and taxes. ”

Zhang Yuan didn't know how Tang Meng discussed with Duotong at the beginning, but it was certain that Tang Meng gave Duotong great autonomy, otherwise Duotong would definitely not agree to give his land to the Han Dynasty.

Sure enough, Duotong didn't even think about it, and said categorically.

"No, I've been paying for it every year, and we shouldn't bear the taxes and servitude."

"Yelang Hou, under the world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister.

It is your obligation to make offerings, Qianwei County is your feudal state, and the taxes are paid, and the court will not collect them, those are all yours, as for the servitude, the people of Yelang and the people of the Han Dynasty should bear the same burden. ”

Saying such things in front of a monarch will definitely make him angry, and any monarch will feel that this world should be his, and not some other emperor or king.

"Envoy of the Kingdom, if you say that, then there is no need for us to talk about it any further.

Don't think that I, Yelang, will be afraid of the Han Kingdom, once Yelang's sons take up arms, they are all born warriors. ”

If you don't see the coffin and don't cry, Zhang Yuan doesn't know what to say now.

He originally prepared a set of rhetoric to tempt Duotong.

Including allowing Tang Meng to use a large army to help Duotong complete the armed unification in Qianwei County, there are more than ten tribes around Yelang Country, and the life of the people of Yelang is not as happy as they seem.

"Since Yelanghou is so confident, my big man has no choice but to support another Yelanghou, you must know that you are nothing in our eyes."

A smile already appeared on Ji Fu's face, and he couldn't wait for the two sides to fight now, and then let the Han army slaughter the people here, and then transport all the treasures back to the Han Dynasty.

Hearing Zhang Yuan speak like this, Duotong became even more angry and shouted outside.

"Come on, arrest all these unreasonable guys and put them in a water prison."

The Yelang soldiers guarding the palace on the side were about to catch Zhang Yuan and a few people, but at this time, a person appeared.

"Don't do it yet, everything still has to be discussed."
