Chapter VIII: Complaints
was disturbed, Lin Yuan fell asleep after returning home, and he didn't wake up until he was approached by Captain Yang Zhao early the next morning. After a brief tidying up, he rushed to Yang Zhao's Shuai Mansion, but on the way, he was thinking about what was so anxious.
As soon as I walked into the middle hall, I saw Yang Zhaozheng and Jinzhou Zhizhou Miyuan chatting together. Lin Yuan felt that today was not like a simple conversation, the current situation in the north was delicate, and it stands to reason that before the Imperial Court Rites Department came, all the negotiations and docking with the royal court were all in charge of Mi Yuan alone. At this moment, he didn't deal with the affairs of the royal court's mission, but appeared in the marshal's mansion, most likely because of the royal court's affairs.
"The last general, Lin Yuan, has seen General Yang and Mi Zhifu." Lin Yuan gave a salute.
"Feeling better? Sit down. Yang Zhao looked at Lin Yuan with a smile.
"It's better, thank you to the doctor invited by the Mi Governor's Mansion." Lin Yuan saluted Mi Yuan.
"I dare not be ashamed, General Lin is brave and brave, it is really the treasure of my Great Zhou, and this official is also the due responsibility." Yonehara said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Yuan always felt that he was scolding, what treasure? I am a human being, not a thing, I retorted a few words in my heart, Lin Yuan smiled, sat down, and asked, "I don't know what happened to the subordinates of the handsome?" ”
"Did you leave the house last night?" As soon as Lin Yuan sat down, Yang Zhao asked.
"Yes, I've been recuperating in the hospital these days, thinking about going out to breathe." Lin Yuan knew that Yang Zhao sent people to his side, and he knew all about his actions, but he still explained. Now it seems that I am afraid that it was yesterday with the gang of people in the royal court.
"Today, a complaint from the Royal Court Mission sued the Black Feather Army to Master Mi, this is a complaint, you can take a look." Yang Zhao handed the paper to Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan, who looked confused, took the paper and looked at it, what kind of operation is this? After browsing it roughly, Lin Yuan knew why he was looking for him, Lin Yuan was currently in charge of the Black Feather Army, and the mistake made by the Black Feather Army must have been him first.
Putting down the paper, Lin Yuan looked up at Mi Yuan in disbelief: "Who is this Wang Jin, why didn't he go to tell the last general about shooting King Zuoxian." ”
Mihara squirted out the tea he had just eaten, are these two things comparable? Is your focus a little skewed?
"Shooting and wounding soldiers of other countries without authorization is like starting a war; There is no military order in the city to use crossbows, which is a conspiracy, how do you explain it? Yang Zhao glanced at Lin Yuan.
"Please also ask your Excellency to discern, my Black Feather Army shot and injured the people of the royal court is really their own fault, last night they were very unreasonable and smashed Wanxiang Building, and their subordinates happened to be present and witnessed the whole process. I can't bear it. Thinking of Zhang Li's cold face, Lin Yuan still had to pinch his nose and admit it.
"You ordered it?" Yang Zhao asked.
Lin Yuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "It is indeed a subordinate." Seeing this, Yang Zhao nodded with satisfaction, he was still clear about what had happened, knowing that Lin Yuan did not order archery, it was Zhang Li's mistake to do it, but Lin Yuan's behavior in defending his subordinates still made Yang Zhao very satisfied.
Mi Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, he naturally knew what was going on, but he still had to ask some questions, the current situation was delicate, and it was best not to let the people of the royal court take advantage of the loopholes.
Lin Yuan said at this time: "Let the two adults know that at present, the two sides are only purposefully collecting troops and stopping the war, and strictly speaking, the two sides have not signed a peace treaty." Their entry into the city was an invasion, and their subordinates thought it was merciful not to shoot them. ”
After listening to Lin Yuan's crooked reasoning, Mi Yuan was angry: "According to what you say, does he still have to prepare a generous gift to apologize to your house, and thank you for not killing." ”
"If that's the case, the subordinates will naturally welcome him with the door wide open." Lin Yuan smiled. But he wasn't provoking Yonehara, although it was a joke, but he knew that it was not good to be excessive. Changing the subject, he said: "I'm afraid that Master Mi is not here just for this matter, right?" ”
"Why do you say that?" Yang Zhao looked at Lin Yuan curiously.
"The reason is simple, because Lord Mi has been hanging the mission during this time, although I don't know the reason, but at the moment both sides have difficulties, and it is about to enter winter, I can afford to drag it out in Da Zhou, and he can't afford to drag it out in the Golden Horde, and I am afraid that the northern border will be chaotic at this moment. Otherwise, Wang Jin would not have made such a decision, he was just forcing Master Mi to come forward and start negotiations with them as soon as possible. Lin Yuan said.
Gently stroking his beard, Yang Zhao looked at Mi Yuan with a smile on his face and said: "What do I say, since this kid came to my account, he looks very honest in appearance, but his mind is lively, if it is not like this, his temperament follows his honest appearance, I am afraid that he will die eight times in the north." ”
Yonehara smiled helplessly and asked, "In your opinion, we don't see each other now." ”
"Dare to ask my lord, whose person is Wang Jin?" Lin Yuan asked rhetorically.
"Does it matter, General Lin?" Yonehara asked.
"Important." Lin Yuan. "The last general heard that when Lord Mi greeted the envoy at Jinsha Pass, Mo Tuo's anger was pulled by this person, a person who can suppress the chief envoy of the mission, which shows his status in the royal court, not to mention that this person also sued the last general." Lin Yuan clicked on the paper on the table.
"General Lin is well-informed." Mi Yuan paused and said: "Wang Jin is a Jiangnan Dao Jinshi in the second year of Qide, he was robbed of his fame for being involved in a fraud case, and then traveled with a caravan, and was captured by horse thieves when he passed through the north in the fourth year of Qide, and his whereabouts are unknown, the first news is that the Golden Horde raided Jinzhou three years ago, and the person who planned it was Wang Jin. ”
"I said that such a good writing was written by those people with developed limbs and simple minds, they are afraid that they don't even know how to write the three words of Da Zhou Law." Lin Yuan complained and continued: "As the saying goes, know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Da Zhou and the Golden Horde have confronted each other for decades, if they say that they understand each other thoroughly, they dare not say, but this Wang Jin is the Great Zhou people, and he has traveled to many places, and his understanding of Da Zhou is definitely the deepest in the Golden Horde. ”
"Did he make peace as he pleased? Gangnam Province can't be delayed, and we don't have much time. Yang Zhao said. The voice of peace talks above the court has taken over the mainstream. It will not be beneficial to anyone to fight it, and the goal set before has been achieved by Da Zhou, and it is still a little difficult to completely eliminate the Golden Horde. But if the peace talks are held under the circumstances, the royal court is afraid that it will be restored soon, which is what the Great Zhou monarchs and ministers do not want to see.
"Talk about peace and talk, some can talk, talk to him first, stabilize him, in case the Golden Horde court dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and by the way, contact other tribes in the north." Lin Yuan said with a smile.
"It's a blessing to contact the feelings of bullshit, and not to cut people when we meet." Yang Zhaodao.
"The enemy of the enemy is the friend, is the tribe so obedient? Single-mindedly obedient to the royal court? Lin Yuan said depressedly.
"The enemy of the enemy is the friend, General Lin said it well. The tribes in the north look like each other, and it is not impossible to contact one or two. But what about after the connection? Will they not be able to do it now? Yonehara asked.
"Don't say anything, just give weapons and food, the weapons captured at the moment are enough, the northern border is the weak, when they find out that the Golden Horde is not enough, and these tribes are indeed strong, just promise them to be crowned king afterwards, and they can get the friendship of my Great Zhou." Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Maybe they have been staring at Wang Ting's meat for a long time. ”
Mi Yuan and Yang Zhao thought about Lin Yuan's plan, the feasibility is very high, if it succeeds, the original monolithic Golden Horde Court is afraid that it will be torn apart, and then the grassland in the north will fall into the hands of the Great Zhou, and then the endless iron cavalry will supply the army, and the Golden Horde Court will no longer be the henchman of the Great Zhou.
"How can I ensure that I stay out of the matter and not be caught by it?" Yonehara asked.
Lin Yuan pursed his lips, thinking that he had done everything, and he was afraid of people's irresponsible opinions, so he thought about it and said: "There are many businessmen in Jinzhou, so find a few who are not afraid of death." ”
Yonehara thought for a moment, "You mean to do this through a merchant?" ”
Lin Yuan nodded and said: "This can maximize the benefits, at least things can be done, and there is money to be made." ”
Mi Yuan and Yang Zhao were stunned, the two of them thought that if this matter could be done, they were afraid that it would cost a lot, and when would they think about making money. Seeing the expressions of the two, Lin Yuan said helplessly: "Do you want to give weapons for nothing?" ”
Yang Zhao coughed dryly and said, "It's okay, you can step down, and I'll discuss it with Master Mi again." Lin Yuan complained secretly, arched his hand and retreated.
Lin Yuan walked out of the hall, he knew that Yang Zhao and Mi Yuan would definitely report this matter, and there would be money to be made after not paying much, once the operation was successful, the return would be huge, not only could it solve the big problem of the Golden Horde Court, but also free up his hands to deal with some domestic problems.
Lin Yuan knew that now was not the time to hide his clumsiness, his predecessor was too dazzling in the army, Yang Zhao also knew himself well in recent years, and it was true that he had a family background, but he had been in the army for many years, from a nobody to the current commander of the Black Feather Army, relying not only on force, but also on intelligence.
The current title is almost capped, and the amount of credit is not reflected in the title, if you blindly hide it, I am afraid that it will cause suspicion, and everything will be given in vain at that time. After the war is over, after returning to Beijing, he will definitely be rewarded for his merits, and it is time for him to stay away from the border army. A free life is my highest goal at present. I can't save my life, and everything I say is in vain.
Thinking about the better life in the future, Lin Yuan returned to his small courtyard with a smile, Yu Shi on the side was confused, what was he thinking, it had been many days, and he was always smirking inexplicably by himself, didn't his brain be good yet?
