Chapter 747: Prisoner Exchange
Li Zhongyi forced Yang Jiong to write a letter to Fan Qian, which implied two meanings, it is gratifying to be solid, and there is no harm in not succeeding. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Yang Jiong wrote a letter, but Fan Zhen did not agree, hehe, Li Zhongyi succeeded in separating, which is equivalent to cutting off Prime Minister Fan's arm.
If Fan Zhen finally persuaded the Empress Dowager Fu and issued an edict to let Li Zhongyi go to Goryeo to quell the rebellion, then Li Zhongyi could justifiably go to loot the Goryeo sticks, and the benefits would naturally be a big drop!
Take 10,000 steps back and say, if Fan Zhen would rather abandon Yang Jiong, he would not want to give Li Zhongyi a chance to expand his strength. Hehe, there are many Korean standard equipment in the Yuguan Library, including flags, gongs and drums, armor and so on.
As early as when Li Jiajun occupied Yuguan and wantonly exploited the Koreans, Li Zhongyi had already expected that he would borrow the hand of Jin Zinan to squeeze Goryeo very fiercely, and the sticks would not be able to stand it sooner or later!
Therefore, Li Zhongyi has long been ready to disguise himself as the Goryeo Army, and it can be said that everything is only owed to Dongfeng!
Essentially, although the Great Zhou had some maritime trade with Goryeo, it was all people-to-people exchanges between merchants along the coast.
And the vast majority of these people's maritime trade was in the hands of Zhou Daozhong, the commander of the naval division, and Zhou Daozhong was Li Zhongyi's person.
Now that it is almost winter, due to the influence of the bad weather, the maritime trade between Dazhou and Goryeo has almost been cut off, and there are almost merchant ships on the sea, which is also convenient for Li Zhongyi.
Li Zhongyi controlled the sea and controlled Yuguan, the choke point on land, and when the imperial court got the news, Li Zhongyi was afraid that he would have swept up the Goryeo Kingdom long ago.
Ten days later, he hurriedly handed over the edict of the political affairs hall, and Fan Zhen really valued Yang Jiong very much, and persuaded the Empress Dowager Fu to agree that Li Zhongyi would go to Goryeo to quell the rebellion.
Li Zhongyi pinched the edict in his hand, glanced at Yang Jiong, who was standing in front of him calmly, and said with a smile: "Then I will be bothered that the Duke of Boyo is going to Brother Hugh's side, just say what I said, Yelu Bottle and Storm Bear will be exchanged for the father and son of the King of Wei, and the rest of the people will be exchanged for one in the ratio of one for one, and there will not be enough people to make up horses, one Khitan nobleman for 50 sheep, 10 officers, 2 non-commissioned officers, and one less will not work." If there are not enough sheep, take the ox as the top, and one cow is worth two sheep. ”
cough, although the winter supplies sent by the Goryeo Kingdom are extremely rich, it is a pity that there are not many cattle and sheep in the country, and the meat of the soldiers is still on the low side.
Yang Jiong was furious, Li Zhongyi's conditions were so harsh that there was no reason, but Li Zhongyi finally relented, and Yang Jiong hesitated and didn't dare to come forward to theorize.
Without waiting for Yang Jiong to think clearly, Li Zhongyi instructed Yang Lie: "Bai Xing, you can help Bo Yougong well, understand?" ”
"Whoa." Yang Lie had been ordered to garrison Yuguan, and he naturally understood Li Zhongyi's hint that it was okay to exchange prisoners, but the cattle and sheep must be complete.
Li Zhongyi instructed Yang Lie to change the nobles first, and then to ordinary soldiers, if the Khitans refused to exchange cattle and sheep for those cannon fodder, there was no need to argue that in the future, these Khitan prisoners of war would be used as coolies to build bridges and pave roads.
The Khitan prisoners of war who were unwilling to build roads, Li Jiajun had no obligation to support them, and directly chopped off their heads as military merits.
In the next few days, Li Jiajun's top and bottom were extremely busy, and the soldiers packed up and prepared to board the ship to the east.
Yang Jiong was worried about the long nights and dreams, and wanted to exchange the father and son of the king of Wei as soon as possible, but at this juncture, the Khitans refused to exchange the Yelu bottle for the prince of Wei.
This Yang Jiong was originally shrewd, as soon as he heard the reason of the Khitan people, he guessed Brother Hugh's thoughts, the Khitan "sleeping emperor" has become an ornament, not to mention this Yelu bottle princess?
Da Zhou and Khitan have been facing off for several months under this Yu Pass, don't look at Li Zhongyi's humming, but he always has the upper hand, Brother Hugh is inevitably comfortable, and he wants to use the topic to play, which is completely understandable.
Yang Jiong saw it very clearly, Brother Hugh replied that he should exchange the violent bear for the king of Wei, obviously wanting to encircle the various tribes on the grassland.
Although the strength of the Murwei clan is far inferior to that of the Xi clan, but, borrowing the old example of a thousand catties of city bones, Brother Hugh has the grace to save his life in the violent bear, but he can let the violent bear lead the other tribes and contain the powerful Xi people from the side.
Based on this understanding, Yang Jiong has to admit that this is indeed a wonderful move.
It's just that Brother Yelu Hugh doesn't take the princess Yelu bottle seriously, but Yang Jiong will inevitably sit on wax, if he only changes back to King Wei on this trip, although he also has merit, it is difficult to say that it is complete.
Yang Jiong is not an ordinary person after all, after thinking for a quarter of an hour, he decisively came to Li Zhongyi.
After so many days of running-in, Yang Jiong can understand that the relationship between Li Zhongyi and Yelu Xiuge is obviously that of both Shengyu and He Shengliang, and Li Wuji has always had the upper hand.
Li Zhongyi successfully got the name of "legal" counterinsurgency, and was very satisfied, and as soon as Yang Jiong's name sticker was handed in, he instructed the generals to summon Yang Jiong into the study to talk.
Yang Jiong has been in the north for a long time, and this is the first time he has stepped into Li Zhongyi's study, his mood is extremely complicated, not to mention what it feels like?
"Boyogong, please have tea." Li Zhongyi smiled and let him sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea, not to mention how amiable his attitude was.
Yang Jiong knew in his heart that this was the result of the previous transactions, which made Li Zhongyi very satisfied.
Objectively speaking, Fan Zhen attaches great importance to Yang Jiong, which makes Yang Jiong very moved, and he has a sense of the grace of knowing the sky, but I am afraid that he will not be able to repay him.
Yang Jiong knew in his heart that with Fan's old scheming, how could he not know Li Zhongyi's "sinister intentions" to go to Goryeo?
Regardless of whether Fan Zhen has ever hesitated or felt sad, the final result is that Fan Zhen chose to keep Yang Jiong, what this means is self-evident.
Li Zhongyi listened to Fan Zhen's description, couldn't help touching his chin, and said with a smile: "The Khitan princess who was originally very noble, but in the blink of an eye, she became a useless outcast? ”
Yang Jiong understood in his heart that Li Zhongyi meant something, and he skimmed the so-called hints that were playful, and arched his hand: "Please help me." "The attitude is unusually sincere.
Li Zhongyi nodded secretly, Fan Zhen really didn't see the wrong person, Yang Jiong was indeed shrewd and frightening.
After getting along for such a while, Yang Jiong obviously had touched Li Zhongyi's temper and simply got straight to the point.
With Li Zhongyi's temperament of being good at playing tai chi, no matter whether Yang Jiong is beating around the bush or knocking on the side, he is destined to be a blind man lighting a lamp - white waste wax.
Yang Jiong also sensed Li Zhongyi's temper, and said the request straightforwardly, waiting to see Li Zhongyi's attitude.
"Boyogong, send the Buddha to the west, as long as possible, I will help you." Li Zhongyi then changed the conversation and asked Yang Jiong, "Then Brother Hugh put forward difficult conditions?" ”
Yang Jiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Li Zhongyi pretended to be deaf and dumb, he was really helpless.
"Brother Hugh said that our army must withdraw from Yuguan." Yang Jiong bit his bite tightly, not daring to hide it in the slightest, and described Brother Hugh's demeanor and demeanor at that time clearly.
"Hehe, this is the one who wants to retreat from the advanced, Boyogong, we don't have to pay attention to it." Li Zhongyi saw Yang Jiong frowning, so he explained with a smile, "If I didn't make a mistake, Brother Yelu Xiu couldn't hold on." ”
