Chapter 189: King Yong

Jiang Shang, Zhao Lingfeng and Liao Ying also rushed to Lanzhou one after another with the people of Su and Qingcheng.

This time, the border army of Gansu Town, which was originally stationed in Lanzhou City, was completely lost, and the more than 18,000 people brought out by Sun Dezhang were basically wiped out.

The old governor Sun Dezhang also felt deeply remorseful for his reckless behavior, and even took the initiative to draw up a letter of resignation and handed it to Xi'an along with the war report.

Of course, Chongzheng would not agree, so he unexpectedly refuted the old governor's fold, and reprimanded him with a few words that did not hurt or itch.

With Chongzheng's rejection of Sun Dezhang's excerpt, there is also a reward for the greatest contributor to the last battle and the greatest contributor to this battle:

Retreat from the enemy! Defend the land! He was awarded the title of Chief Military Officer of Gansu Town and Left Squire of the Leading Army.

When the eunuch who passed the decree read this edict to An Yi, An Yi felt a little crying and laughing, due to the defeat of Han Lin, the soldiers and horses of Gansu Town were almost wiped out, and the general soldiers of Gansu Town, who were dignified and second-class, have now become almost imaginary titles of only more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, but it is still the people and horses of the original green camp and guard under his hand who are supporting the scene.

However, the matter of soldiers and horses is not particularly urgent, Liao Ying and himself have a total of 90,000 people in their hands, guarding this tall fortified city, it can be said that the Liao people don't have a 150,000 or 200,000 people to think about it anyway.

But An Yi is worried that there are more and more people in this city, but they are becoming more and more mixed.

The reason why I think this way is because on the night that An Yi asked He Liu to interrogate He Ji and Lao Zhang, he personally went to the county prison in Qingcheng to see He Ji.

As Jin Mingyin said, He Ji, who was known to be mortal, was reluctant to say anything at all, but An Yi threw him an "emerald green olive branch".

An Yi told him, you tell me what you know, and I will keep you alive!

He Ji himself is also a Wei commander and a military attache of the imperial court, how could he believe what An Yi said? You have handed over all the folds, and you can go to the execution ground after sending the official documents approved by the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Officials, even if your commander is merciful and releases me, then I will not also become a fugitive from the court at the end of the world? At that time, the huge Xia Dynasty will not be able to tolerate me, and I will not even be able to see my wife and children.

An Yi felt that there was a drama when he heard him say this, and now at this time, he can still think of his wife and children, at least it shows that this He Ji doesn't want to die yet.

However, what He Ji said is not unreasonable, An Yi has the ability to let him go, and if it is a big deal, he will report him to death, and even find a death row prisoner on the day he goes to the execution ground, but in the future, he can only die in the world as he said, run when he sees people, and hide when he sees soldiers, which is really no different from death.

An Yi is also full of brains, I don't know how he thought of it, he said to He Ji I will write you a letter, you take it to the Western Regions, not only will not let you hide and hide like a fugitive for a lifetime, but also let you bring your wife and children over with you, if you really have the ability to lead troops, you can still be a general over there!

Did he think that Ning'er wasn't a national teacher in the Wusun Kingdom in the Western Regions? According to his thoughts, Ning'er just went with the Wugu Sect, and for others, he was a foreigner, and the first thing he did was nothing more than to cultivate his own power.

Like He Ji, a Han criminal minister who cannot be tolerated by the Great Xia Dynasty, but has rich experience in leading troops in the army, and has no foundation in the Western Regions, I am afraid that he is the best candidate for Ning Er to cultivate henchmen, if He Ji is willing, Ning Er must be grateful to An Yi for giving her this great gift.

Of course, He Ji is 10,000 willing in his heart, and to have such a way out is probably a heavenly place for him, a person who carries ten deaths and no mortal sins, to go to the Western Regions with this comfortable letter.

So he was very cooperative, pouring beans into a bamboo tube, and generally told An Yi everything he knew.

After listening to what He Ji said, and then comparing it with He Liuyi, it is simply two versions,

He Ji told him that He Liu told the truth, his family is indeed surnamed Gu, and He Baihu, who was kind to their father and son in the early years, is his younger brother He Jiao, and Gu Chenxi, who is currently the commander of the right guard in Chengdu, is the second uncle of his He Liu's family.

An Yi was quite surprised, so he asked him why you would pick a He Liu, who is not very close to him, to do these things together,

How do you know that He Ji was so angry that he scolded He Liu for farting, saying that he He Liu didn't know how humble he was when he saw him, and his uncle never dared to have a word of rebellion, and he was obedient to him.

And he also trusted him very much at the beginning, including the key to transmitting information to the Liao people was placed with him, but later he gradually discovered that He Liu began to have some behaviors that put aside his private communication with the Liao people, so he got his clan Lao Zhang into the army and He Liu, in fact, it was to have a monitoring meaning, but I didn't expect He Liu to even serve the two of them in a pot this time,

Of course, when An Yi told him that He Liu said that he would continue to keep in touch with the Liao people and lead the Liao army into the trap, He Ji said that he would not believe a word at all, and reminded An Yi that He Liu would continue to accept all things, and now it seems that the change he said to himself to the fifteenth day of the first month must be false, but I don't know whether it will be implemented according to the previous time or the time of the order is changed.

An Yi Xin said that this He Liu was indeed as he expected, and those who were treacherous were not worthy of trust.

However, he kept his promise, and after asking He Ji basically everything he knew, he brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for Jin Mingyin to write by hand, and dictated a letter to Ning Er, which was basically to prove He Ji's identity, let Ning Er take it in as appropriate, and then gave the letter to He Ji.

He Ji was also grateful for An Yi for this, and when he left, he seemed to leave a sentence for An Yi:

"My lord, the whole family is grateful to you! Everything I know has been told to you, and what I said with a head guarantee is the truth! But there is only one thing I have not told you, and I dare not tell you, if I did, you and I would not live! All of this is just someone else's minions, and the person who really controls these things is not in the northwest at all, and I advise adults to get by, and don't set yourself on fire. ”

After saying that, he knelt down towards An Yi and kowtowed his head, and then turned around and fled into the night.

An Yi didn't plan to stop him and ask again, after all, He Ji had talked about this, and it was not good to force each other, although he didn't say it explicitly, it was vaguely revealed, and the person who could have so much energy was not in the northwest, it must be in Wang Jingli, and he felt that it must be related to the so-called battle for succession.

An Yi suddenly felt that his mind was spinning, what is this? Winning the heir can have something to do with the Liao people!

But his stubborn temperament will never be as passable as He Ji said,

Therefore, An Yicai didn't take He Liu directly for the time being, but wanted to see what this bait could catch.

But fortunately, even if Hu Yuhua who arrived did An Yi a great favor, while the war was over, he planned to take this jade pendant to find Gao Youhong, the king of Shu, to ask what was going on.

"The general soldiers of Gansu Town are comfortable, see the king of Shu Chitose!"

The King of Shu sat in the room, holding a book in one hand and looking intently, and when he heard the voice of his future son-in-law outside the door, his old face was suddenly full of smiles,

"Lord An, please come in."

After An Yi came in, he didn't sit down immediately, but arched his hand towards the king of Shu again,

"You........ What does this mean? Why be so polite. "The king of Shu was a little puzzled,

How do you know that An Yi replied with a smile: "Just now outside the door, it was the lower official who saluted the prince." Now in the house, it is the son-in-law who salutes his father-in-law. ”

"Hahaha~"

The King of Shu stroked his gray beard and looked up to the sky and laughed, "The old man can be regarded as knowing why you can make Ying Shu fall in love at first sight, so good, accept the courtesy, the virtuous son-in-law and sit first." ”

An Yi sat opposite him, and the king of Shu didn't call the maid, and personally handed the tea cup upside down on the table to An Yi, and then knocked on the blue and white porcelain teapot on the table with his hand, and said: "The Pu'er from Yunnan Tusi Xinhe has a mellow taste, and the old man is a little happy, so he didn't let the maid wait beside him, but he has to pour it himself, so try it." ”

An Yi took the teapot in the hand of the King of Shu in response, and said modestly: "The court is heavy, my father-in-law is going to torment my son-in-law." ”

"I'm here this time, but what is there to find the old man?"

This freshly brewed Pu'er tea was put on the table by the King of Shu for a while, the temperature was just right, and the drink in the mouth was indeed different from the one that I drank in my grandfather's yamen before.

However, although the tea is delicious, the business still has to be said, and after a sip of tea, he escaped from his arms and gave the dark yellow jade to the king of Shu, "Uncle Yue, look, can you recognize this thing?" ”

The King of Shu took the jade pendant in An Yi's hand, checked it in his hand, and then took a look at it to identify this thing, he pointed to the group character pattern in the middle of the hollow jade pendant and said: "You see, this jade pendant is dark yellow all over, and the middle group is a 'Yong', and it looks like a coiled dragon, presumably this is what the four princes in the palace of King Yong." ”

"Yongwang Mansion? That means that the person with this jade pendant is at least a person from King Yong's mansion? Or is it related to King Yong? ”

After hearing this, the King of Shu shook his head, and then untied his cyan jade pendant from his waist, "It can't be said like this, although the color of this jade pendant cannot be changed and surpassed, but as far as the style is concerned, as long as it does not involve the problem of transgression, it is different in each mansion." Take my piece as an example, only me and Ying Shu have such two pieces in the Shu King's Mansion, and the other family guards are all diamond-shaped accessories, and other relatives near and far are different. Therefore, this kind of Yongwang Mansion can only be said to flow out of the mansion, but it is not known whether it is brought by the members of the clan or by the miscellaneous servants. ”

An Yi was also curious when he heard this, and asked with a smile for no reason: "Uncle Yue, if the son-in-law marries Yingshu, is it also this kind of cyan jade pendant?" ”

The King of Shu smiled at him and said, "You are not a direct relative of the Gao family, of course you are different from us." However, every king of Shu has the right to decide the difference between the accessories on his mansion, and the old man's rules are not good to change, if you want to, wait for Ying Shu to succeed to the throne, and then re-regulate it. ”

The old man and the young son-in-law looked at each other after speaking, and they both laughed out loud after a while.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, where did you get this thing?"

An Yi stepped forward with a mysterious face, and explained the ins and outs of the old Shu King's ear clearly.

I saw that the face of the King of Shu was blue and red for a while, and the relaxed look just now had disappeared, and the clear word "Sichuan" between the eyebrows was replaced.

"According to you, this is a great matter of rebellion!"
