Yang Jie of Kyoto can be said to have been pitiful for the armaments made in Shuzhong for a long time, especially in recent years, in the war between the imperial capital and Linjiang City, he suffered the loss of Shu-made armaments, which made Yang Jie hate Shu-made armaments on the one hand, and on the other hand, he tried to use various ways to obtain various materials made in Shuzhong.

However, Shuzhong and the imperial capital have always been at odds, and they have been in a state of hostility all the year round, and Yang Yi has always strictly ordered Shu merchants to prohibit the sale of any armaments and materials to the imperial capital, and once discovered, they will be punished for collaborating with the enemy.

Including the princes who had military and trade relations with Shu, Yang Yi also clearly informed them that if anyone secretly sold armaments and materials in Shu to the imperial capital, Shuzhong would cut off all trade with them and put them on the blacklist of Shuzhong.

Yang Yi's series of measures made it difficult for Yang Jie to obtain even a piece of Shu armor, and a new trebuchet in Shu would be difficult to ascend to the sky.

If Zhu Qingxian could get the batch of Shu-made armaments intercepted by Wei Song and transfer them to Yang Jie, then he could borrow troops from Yang Jie on this ground, instead of praying.

There is an essential difference between the two, Zhu Qingxian used materials as a bargaining chip to come to the Kyoto Army to get rid of Huaying and the conservative forces behind him, and there was no reason for the Kyoto Army to stay after the matter was completed, and when Zhu Qingxian integrated all the troops in Tongzhou, then he didn't need to rely on anyone or fear anyone at all, and only in this way could he become the real master of Tongzhou.

"No, this matter needs to be done carefully." Zhu Qingxian was still uneasy.

Ji Yan asked, "Then ...... you mean?"

Zhu Qingxian pondered for a moment and said: "In this way, Master Ji, you will personally go to the military camp of the West School to receive Wei Song's people and those military supplies, and tell Wei Song that it is okay to come to Tongzhou if you want, but they can't carry any weapons, as long as their surrender is true, this official will definitely not slack off with them." ”

Ji Yan arched his hand and admired: "My lord is clever, in this way, even if Wei Song is a fraudulent surrender, he has nothing to do without a blade." ”

Zhu Qingxian advised again: "Remember, you must be cautious and keep it strictly confidential. ”

"Don't worry, your lordship, the lower officials know."

Zhu Qingxian waved his hand, signaling that Ji Yan could retreat.

Ji Yan bowed his hand and said, "The lower official retires." ”

Ji Yan hurriedly walked out of the counselor's house, and as soon as he walked out, a person greeted him, and asked anxiously with a worried face: "Lord Ji, how is the matter?" ”

Ji Yan stood with his hands behind his back, squinted at the man, and said, "The counselor is cautious and has many doubts about this matter. ”

The man's face turned pale when he heard this, and he rubbed his hands anxiously and said, "This ...... How is this good, my general is still waiting for a reply......"

Thinking of this, the man hurriedly took out a bag of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into Ji Yan's hand without a trace, and begged: "Lord Ji, you must help us think of a way, we have been cornered by the Shu army, if the counselor does not accept us, we will really have to wait for death." ”

The silver bag fell into Ji Yan's hand, Ji Yan's hand holding the bag shook it gently, and found that there were a lot of silver taels in it, and immediately showed a slight smile and said: "Although the counselor is not as good as Wei Song in the same state and fled to the same state, but under my persuasion, the counselor still reluctantly agreed, and entrusted me with full responsibility for this matter." ”

When the man heard this, he was so overjoyed that he almost wanted to cry and said, "That...... That's really good, thank you, thank you, thank you, the efforts made by the adults will definitely be truthfully reported to my general, and my general will definitely be grateful after the matter is completed. ”

Ji Yan nodded with satisfaction: "You go back quickly and inform your general, I will personally lead the army to meet him at the border of Tongzhou in three days, but you must disarm all before you can enter Tongzhou City." ”

"Disarm everything? My lord, this ......."

Everyone understands that without weapons, soldiers are no different from lambs to the slaughter, and that their life and death will not be up to them.

Ji Yan sneered: "What? Don't want to? ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "No, no, no, everything respects the words of the lord." ”

Although Ji Yan's requirements were very harsh, the man knew that Wei Song had no room for bargaining, because he had robbed the supplies of the Shu army, and now Wei Song and his more than 2,000 men were being chased and killed all the way, if they didn't escape from Wenzhou, I am afraid they would not be able to support it for long.

Ji Yan smiled and nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, then you should go and inform your general quickly, don't miss the time." By the way, remember to remind your general, that batch of armaments and materials made in Shu is indispensable, that is your customs clearance charm for coming to the same state, without these things, don't blame the official for not being merciful when the time comes. ”

"That's natural, don't worry, my lord, all those military standards are well sealed, and they will all be delivered to your hands when the time comes."

At this point, Ji Yan didn't want to say anything more, so he waved his hand and went straight to his carriage, not forgetting to reach out and weigh the money bag in his sleeve.

When Ji Yan's carriage was gone, the man who bowed down straightened up, glanced at the direction of Ji Yan's departure, turned around and looked at the vermilion gate of the Counselor's Mansion behind him, and then lowered his head and hurriedly walked towards the city gate.

Hurrying all the way, the man soon came to the south gate of Tongzhou City, but he did not go out of the city directly, but entered a tavern on the side of the street.

There are not many people in the tavern, which is divided into two floors, and the lobby is scattered with drinkers at this time, which seems to be a little clean.

As soon as he entered the tavern, the man shouted, "Man! Hurry up and get a bowl of tea, and help me prepare some dry food for my journey, and I'm about to leave. ”

The guy with a smile on his face hurriedly greeted him and said enthusiastically: "Okay, officer, dare to ask what dry food you want to prepare, and how much to prepare?" ”

"Five catties of dried beef, nineteen naan cakes, and a pot full of wine. Oh yes, cut the beef into slices, put more salt in the naan and less green onions, and make the best and strongest wine. The man commanded.

The guy glanced at the man and smiled, "Okay! Guest, wait a moment, the small one will be ready for you immediately! ”

Soon, the man had prepared and packed all the food he needed.

The man did not stop, but took out a piece of silver from his bosom and threw it on the table, then drank the tea from the bowl in one gulp, picked up the package, and turned away.

After the man left, the tavern man returned to the counter, took two pots of wine and said to the old shopkeeper who was fiddling with the abacus on the side: "Shopkeeper, the guests upstairs want two pots of wine, I sent them, but don't forget to keep the account." ”

The old shopkeeper waved his hand without raising his head: "Go, don't neglect the guests." ”

"Okay!"

The tavern guy went straight to the attic with two jugs of wine, and pushed the door open to a guest room at the very end of the second floor.

There were three people sitting in the room, two of them were burly and grim-looking, and one was a young man in his twenties, who looked quite mild.

The three of them were dressed in brocade robes and looked like merchants.

"Three guest officers! The sake you asked for is here! The guy laughed loudly.

The brocade-clothed boy smiled and nodded, "Well, take it in and put it on the table." ”

The man answered and walked in, put the two pots of wine on the table, and said softly with a smile: "The man asked for five catties of dried beef, nineteen naan cakes, a full pot of wine, beef cut into slices, naan cakes should be put more salt, less green onions, and the wine should be the best and strongest." ”

The young man in brocade nodded lightly without a trace, and then the man changed into a loud voice before and smiled: "Is there anything else the guest officer needs?" ”

The boy in brocade waved his hand and said, "You go and get busy, we will call you again if we need to." ”

"Okay! Then you use it slowly! The man turned and exited the door.

Seeing the man leaving, one of the three men stepped forward and closed the door again.

The brocade-clothed boy stood up, took off the brocade on the top of his head, and revealed a delicate face, which was the bean bag that had been lurking in Tongzhou City.

"My lord, according to the code in advance, it seems that this matter is going well." A strong man lowered his head and whispered to the bean bag.

Doubao smiled, not seeming surprised: "Immediately order someone to summon the military advisor and tell him that he can act." ”

The strong man nodded, and then asked, "Then my lord, what should we do next?" ”

Doubao squinted and thought for a moment, and said, "If we want to succeed in this matter, we still need someone to cooperate with us." ”

The strong man condensed: "My lord is talking about Huaying? ”

"Not bad."

"This is a bit difficult to do, Hua Ying, this kid is too timid, we have encouraged him to compete with Zhu Qingxian several times, but he has pushed back and blocked, not to mention the loss of our troops, and almost missed the major event of the military division."

Doubao sneered: "I can't help him this time, if he shirks again, he doesn't have to wait for Zhu Qingxian to kill him, let's send him on the road first!" ”
