Chapter 379: Departure to Yelang (Second Update)
After inviting him to eat and drink with good wine and meat, he patted Peng Yue on the shoulder and said that he would personally select five hundred of the most elite cavalry for him tomorrow and bring the best weapons.
But this is not what makes Peng Yue the happiest, what makes Peng Yue really happy is that Han Xin once hinted to him when he was drinking with him that he would tell him some details about Yelang when he handed over the soldiers and horses tomorrow.
Peng Yue is a native of Changyi, and he is 108,000 miles away from the Yelang country in the south of Bashu, and he doesn't know the details of Yelang, let alone take Yelang down directly with 500 cavalry, and according to Han Xin, he once took 50,000 troops to the south on the order of Yinggao to go around for a walk.
At the beginning, because he was curious, he really went to the surroundings of Yelang Country to take a look, and he thought that he would destroy them by the way, but because he was worried about delaying the business of South Vietnam, he didn't stay, but after this incident, Han Xin had already figured out the details of Yelang Country anyway.
Moreover, Han Xin's words vaguely showed that he wanted to thank Peng Yue when he was drinking, and Peng Yue didn't think about what Han Xin, who had never masked, would thank him for being such a market figure because of something.
But such a good thing, Peng Yue doesn't want to trace back to the source, if he can really take down Yelang Country this time, so as to gain a foothold in Daqin's court, how to thank Han Xin, but if he can't take it, even if he doesn't die in Yelang, he won't have any face to come back.
Three days later, it was time for Peng Yue to lead his army to defeat Yelang.
To Peng Yue's deep surprise, he was summoned by the emperor and was in the court of Great Qin.
Ying Gao naturally did not forget about this incident, on the contrary, he was still waiting for what kind of surprise this so-called originator of guerrilla warfare could bring to himself with 500 cavalry.
He found Peng Yue in his court, that is because Daqin is going to use troops against Yelang, which is also a major event that has to be mentioned for Daqin, although Yelang is weak, but in essence, he is also like the Xiongnu, he is a foreign race, and unlike the foreign races such as the Xiongnu outside the Central Plains, Yelang's territory is included in several counties in the Central Plains, and after Yelang is taken, this land is Daqin's, at least a new county can be established there.
From time to time, Yinggao let Daqin's court have an extra face that everyone doesn't know, which has already made these officials not strange, and Peng Yue is not like Lu Jia and Chen Ping, their deeds have already spread before they are in place.
When he went there, except for Meng Yi, Feng Quji, Xiao He, Han Xin, and Chen Ping, there was really no one who knew them. So it didn't attract a lot of attention until the routine was over and Yinggao spoke.
"The person standing above my Great Qin Dynasty today is one of the people who took the school examination in the court with Chen Ping before, but this person is a little different from others, not because of the inheritance of many schools, but because he thinks that he is a general who has been familiar with military books and war strategies since childhood."
As soon as Ying Gao said this, the eyes of the officials finally focused on Peng Yue's body, don't let you say it, this guy is tall and stocky, with a body of tendons and meat, and it is really like a black iron tower to that station, and he has a momentum that is not angry and mighty, and it is really not much better than some generals standing on the court.
"Well, this person looks like a general at first glance!"
"You really don't want to judge people by their appearance, if all the gatekeepers in my house are here, they will be so powerful, but they won't lead troops, and they will be useless?"
Anyway, the serious matter is over, and these people began to comment on this Peng Yue, some said that this person could, and some said that it was in vain, just a silver-like pewter gun head! Anyway, it was very lively for a while.
And at this time, Yinggao finally spoke again.
"But it's not a general, it's not something that can be known on paper, it needs to be really practiced with troops to be able to see, although my Daqin has already thwarted the Huns and Xiang Yu and other henchmen, but in the south of the two counties of Bashu, there is still one night left in the Lang country has not been destroyed, that Yelang country is surrounded by my Daqin, and the monarch is also difficult to sleep and eat every day, since Peng Yue said that he has this talent, I will take this opportunity to make the king of Yelang country feel down-to-earth, and let Peng Yue lead the troops to destroy him......"
As soon as Peng Yue heard this, he hurriedly fell to the ground and said loudly: "Peng Yue will definitely live up to the king's trust and include that Yelang Kingdom into the territory of my Great Qin!" ”
But what others didn't see was that although it was said loudly, Peng Yue's expression was not so excited, and there was a bitter gourd face on top of his lowered head.
He said in his heart, Emperor, why don't you say that you gave me 500 men......
Yinggao just didn't say how many people he brought, and the people below knew from Yinggao's arrogant words how powerful Daqin's current national strength was, and exterminating a Yelang country was just a topic for a newcomer to the school, what does this mean, it shows that your Yelang country is too weak, and the battle of our new generation of generals in Daqin can destroy you.
"Good! It's rare that you can have such confidence, after today's court, lead the army to set off! I await your good news in this Xianyang Palace! ”
In the end, Peng Yue could only accept Yinggao's words with tears in his eyes, ending his first time in Daqin, and he didn't know if it was the last court.
After the court, he followed Yinggao back to the side hall where he usually handles government affairs, and it was none other than Taiwei Meng Yi.
"Your Excellency, we all know that you love talents, this Yelang Country is for the purpose of Peng Yue for the entrance examination, but really give him 500 people? Although 500 is not a large number, since the monarch has promised that he can transfer 500 of the most elite cavalry under the command of General Han Xin, once these cavalry are defeated and sunk in the sand, it will not only make my Great Qin's face ruined, but also make the soldiers feel that the monarch is not considerate of the lives of the soldiers! ”
After experiencing the handling of the assassination incident, Meng Yi's control over the court is much stronger than before, and he dares to express his opinions in front of Yinggao more than before, others don't know what's going on, but he knows in his heart that the emperor's trust in himself is one step further than before.
"If I tell the Captain that if I go in person, I only need a hundred cavalry to destroy the Yelang Kingdom, will the Captain believe it?"
"The monarch is the emperor of Great Qin, so naturally Yelang Kingdom will not dare to resist......"
"Ahem, ahem...... What I mean is that if I am that Peng Yue, in fact, the Taiwei has already said the way to crack this battle just now, whether it succeeds or not, it depends on whether Peng Yue's mind is flexible enough, if this guy is a tendon, my Daqin really does not lack generals like him. ”
Obviously, Meng Yi had the wrong intention for Yinggao's words before, which made Yinggao a little embarrassed, and coughed a few times in succession.
"I've already told you how to crack it?? …… I see! Your Majesty! ”
Yinggao's three windings and two rounds, almost didn't wrap Meng Yi in, if that's the case, but it's an embarrassment with a capital letter, in case Meng Yi didn't understand what Yinggao meant, wouldn't Meng Yi, the captain, also become the kind of general that Daqin didn't lack?
Of course, Yinggao also saw Meng Yi's embarrassment, so he hurriedly opened his mouth again, ready to divert the topic, after all, a small Yelang country, in Yinggao's opinion, really wouldn't let these two people who stood at the top of Great Qin's power worry about it blindly.
"Peng Yue's matter, let him go for the time being, I still have a private matter today, I want to say it and ask the captain to palm his eyes......"
Ying Gao spoke, rubbing his hands with some expectation, and looked at Meng Yi with a smile.
"Your Excellency's private affairs, it's still inconvenient for this Yi to ask, right?" Meng Yi blinked, and looked at Yinggao with a look of whether I am really suitable here.
Meng Yi, who is already in his fifties, made such an expression, which really made Yinggao a little unable to hold back a smile, and said that Meng Yi, who had untied the knot in his heart, was actually a very interesting person, but it was a hundred times stronger than Cheng Tian with a big face.
"Naturally, it's not a big deal, it's my own sister, Princess Yangzi's marriage, after my investigation for several years, among the many young talents in my Daqin who have not yet married, only Han Xin is really the only one who can be worthy of Princess Yangzi, Taiwei is the one who has watched me and my sister grow up since childhood, what do you think of this matter?"
Ying Gao's expression when he said this was quite relaxed, and it was really like his own family matter, and then let Meng Yi give him the appearance of a staff officer.
But when Meng Yi heard that this was the case, he was stunned at first, and then his expression became solemn.
Meng Yi has been in the court of Daqin for many years, that is really an old fox, although he did not say anything about Yinggao's loyalty, but the relationship between him and Yinggao, and the other three princes and nine kings, but you can't ignore it because of the mutual trust between you and the emperor, there are still many doorways in this.
Who does Yinggao want to marry his sister, if it is normal speaking, it is not something that Taiwei can intervene in, unless Yang Zi is going to marry Meng Yi's son.
The problem here is naturally in Han Xin, Han Xin is just a general so far, and there are no other important positions, but one of the sayings in the officialdom of Daqin is that our emperor's trust in Han Xin has far exceeded that of the Montessori brothers, and even many people secretly speculate that it will not take long for Daqin's Taiwei to be Han Xin's, and Meng Yi will have to stand aside sooner or later.
Can such a statement be concealed from Yinggao? Can you hide it from Meng Yi? Obviously, no.
As soon as these things were combined, they turned around in Meng Yi's head, and Meng Yi knew what Yinggao meant by asking this.
If Meng Yi didn't know about this, Han Xin suddenly became the emperor's brother-in-law, and his status would be even higher, so Meng Yi would naturally combine those rumors and think about it from time to time, maybe he would have to give up the Taiwei to Han Xin, which would do a lot of harm to the relationship between him and Yinggao!
And now, before Ying Gao married his sister, others didn't ask, but asked you Meng Yi first, and he had already said between the words, my sister, you grew up watching, in other words, she is your junior, in this way, Han Xin will also become your junior, the implication is that you, the captain, unless you die, you can't go to Han Xin!
Sometimes smart people talk to smart people, and what they want is this kind of feeling of reading a book a hundred times and seeing their own meaning, and now between Meng Yi and Yinggao, there is obviously this feeling.
"Han Xin is really the best among the young talents of Daqin, and it is really a good thing that Princess Yangzi can marry Han Xin!"
Meng Yi thought for a while, and gave a thumbs up to Yinggao's family business.
"Good! Since the Taiwei has such an approval of this matter, I will find a time to do this matter in the next few days! ”
Obviously, this time Meng Yi came over to be a happy situation, otherwise it would have been a day when Han Xin happily married Princess Yangzi into his mansion and Meng Yi didn't know it, and there might not have been anything between the monarchs and ministers who had just reached the honeymoon stage.
On this day, Peng Yue followed Han Xin to the barracks on the outskirts of Xianyang City, and ordered the five hundred Great Qin cavalry with bright armor, after that, Han Xin whispered in Peng Yue's ear, regardless of Peng Yue's stunned expression, he patted Peng Yue's shoulder as Yinggao often did to himself, and left on his own.
On the same day, Ying Gao prepared his edict, saying that he had agreed to General Han Xin's request for the princess Yangzi several times and approved their marriage, and the day of the wedding, just ten days later, as soon as the news came out, many beautiful young men in Xianyang City beat their chests and feet, hating that they did not beg the emperor with a dead face like Han Xin.
On this day, Meng Tian, who had already led the army back to Shangjun, received a 100,000 urgent news from the scouts he had arranged in the Xiongnu.
And the news he received was that the remaining tribes of the Xiongnu after a great defeat did not go their separate ways after a break, but quietly elected a new Shan Yu after Mao Dun in the royal court of the Huns, and this new Shan Yu was Xiang Yu, who had not known where to go before!
The people of the Central Plains have become the Shan Yu of the Huns! What kind of story is this...... Obviously a story that Meng Tian couldn't understand, what he thought in his heart was, were the Huns really killed by the Central Plains people and knelt down, crying and shouting to call the Central Plains people's father?
