Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Hope of the Marquis

In the depths of the palace, Yelang Hou Duotong and Tang Meng did not talk in the main hall, but went all the way to the waterfall.

The things they were going to talk about were so secretive that they didn't have a single palace guard with them.

"General Tang, your envoy of the Han Dynasty has to force me to count the household registration, if it becomes the norm in the future, then the increase in the number of people in my Yelang Kingdom will definitely be controlled by your Han Dynasty, it seems that our plan will not be implemented."

Duo Tong's posture at the beginning was very indifferent, and he didn't even say anything about Zhang Yuan's threat to Yelang because of this.

Tang Meng didn't want Duotong to have such an indifferent attitude, if one of the two sides of the cooperation expressed indifference to the plan, then such a cooperation could be regarded as a collapse.

"Don't worry, he won't succeed, as long as you keep persevering, over time Zhang Yuan will not be able to complete the mission, Your Majesty will definitely send someone to ask and urge, and at that time he will be like an ant on a hot pot and can't sit still."

Duotong didn't know where Tang Meng's confidence came from, and Zhang Yuan didn't seem like a person who gave up easily in his opinion.

"People have already made it clear to me today that the mission will leave in half a month."

Tang Meng was immediately overjoyed.

"Wouldn't it be better, that they would not take care of us when they left, so that I would take the goods and you would take the people.

The best of both worlds, I will report to Your Majesty when the time comes, divide the territory of the Yelang Kingdom into counties, and then let your clansmen serve as officials, so that the Southwest Yi will still be under your leadership, and I can also because of the credit for expanding the territory, it is also possible to mix with the Hou Dang in the Guannei. ”

Seeing that Tang Meng was still delusional about being able to become a marquis, Duotong suddenly felt that he had chosen the wrong partner to work with, he was originally an arrogant person, but now Tang Meng was even more inflated than him.

"Zhang Yuan has already said that when he returns to Ba County, he will ask your emperor for an edict, saying that my Yelang has a bad heart, and he will recruit the lieutenants in the south of the three counties of Bashu to attack my Yelang."

Because of the existence of the county captains, the positions of these lieutenants in the three counties of Bashu are not high, but the military power under them is much stronger than Tang Meng.

The number of border troops stationed in the three counties of Bashu alone has reached 30,000, and Tang Meng's own 1,000 soldiers are all drawn from the commander of Bashu, and generally speaking, they are also subordinate to other people's establishment.

In Tang Meng's opinion, there was no need for so many people at all, just let the three thousand soldiers of Mianzhu Commander of Guanghan County come here to slaughter the entire territory of Yelang.

Even if Duotong said this, Tang Meng still kept his composure in his heart and preached to Duotong with a smile.

"It's okay, don't say that Zhang Yuan can say that he can move my majesty, even if he can, Yelanghou, you have 100,000 elite soldiers, can we still be afraid of that army of tens of thousands."

Tang Meng finally said that Duotong's heart was in the heart.

"It's good that General Tang knows, I don't want to tear my face with the Han Dynasty all these years, otherwise it's hard to say if your three counties of Bashu are not there."

Duotong's appearance made Tang Meng scold him fiercely in his heart.

"That's that, Yelang is powerful, one of the most powerful countries in my Han Southern Xinjiang, and now Yelang Hou also values me, so I set up a county here, how can I not know Yelang Hou's intentions.

If that Zhang Yuan forcibly wants to be an enemy of Yelang, I will definitely use all the power in the court to make him disappear, and you can rest assured that there will be no war between Dahan and Yelang. ”

Tang Meng said so, but he made up his mind in his heart to talk to Zhang Yuan after leaving this palace for a while.

Before a person has won him over, he is not necessarily an enemy, anyway, Tang Meng thinks so.

As long as things can go smoothly, it is not impossible to give some benefits to Zhang Yuan.

"I believe in General Tang's sincerity, and this time these officials of your Han Dynasty are too ugly.

I, Yelang, am not a weak country, and if I am in a hurry, the farmer will pick up the sickle and put on the rattan armor to fight you to the end. ”

Duo Tong said seriously, Tang Meng had no choice but to nod frequently on the side, echoing his statement.

There is such a large iron mine in the territory of Yelang Country, but the soldiers still have bronze weapons in their hands, and the scythe for cutting corn is even sharper than those weapons.

Because the Huns were worse than the Han in terms of weapons and armor, the Han Dynasty was extremely strict in controlling the export of iron tools. 29GG

Yelang merchants could buy silk and grain in Shu County, Ba County, but no one sold weapons to them.

Liu Bang stipulated that merchants, craftsmen, medical workers and other professions could not hold soldiers, and if these conditions did not exist, then this decree would have become an empty document.

"General Tang, you're going to the post house to find the envoy of the Han Dynasty later."

Not to mention the same intelligence, there are still some others, but they are just arrogant.

Tang Meng nodded and said.

"Naturally, we have to negotiate with Zhang Xingren, and if we can not use the power of the DPRK, we will not use it, and we will have to repay it in the future if we have more favors."

Tang Meng gave Duo Tong a reason to see Zhang Yuan, as for Duo Tong believing it or not, from Tang Meng's own point of view, he actually didn't care.

"It's okay to do this, but after General Tang met the envoy, he sent someone to the palace to tell me the news as soon as possible, and I can deal with it as soon as possible."

Tang Meng replied with a gesture.

"That's nature."

Zhang Yuan, who was in the post house, didn't wait for Huang Changshi to send the news, but waited for Tang Meng, who he didn't expect the most.

"Can Zhang Xingren talk about it alone?"

Without waiting for Zhang Yuan to answer, Erdan stepped forward and refused.

"Nope."

Seeing this situation, Zhang Yuan could only sigh in his heart, he shouldn't have brought the second egg over this trip.

In this way, the hostility of several of them towards Tang Meng was all spread out.

"Lieutenant General Lang, please wait outside the door, I'll put on my robe and come here."

Tang Meng smiled meaningfully, bowed to Zhang Yuan, and then turned around and walked out.

Now is not a good time to reprimand Erdan, I can only glare at him, and then take my robe and follow Tang Meng out.

Erdan stood in place with a confused expression, so he had to ask Zong Xing.

"Didn't I say that right?"

Zong Xing was also quite speechless, and the job of explaining still had to fall on him.

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that the head of the family has all the opinions on Tang Meng."

Erdan touched his head, and now he didn't understand it even more.

"Didn't I just say no?"

"As Lieutenant General Lang, he escorted the mission all the way to the capital of Yelang, and there are important matters to discuss with the head of the family.

You and I don't have official positions, so it's reasonable to guard against the two of us.

As a result, you can't say anything, don't you just say that you think Tang Meng may harm the head of the family. ”

"Isn't it?"

it...
