Yang Wanfu led his troops to fight for the first time, but he was defeated and captured. After Gao Yue captured him, he did not abuse him, on the contrary, his daily food, clothing, and shelter were absolutely guaranteed. Gao Yue and the Yang family of the White Horse Clan, fighting a war is a war, in fact, there is no deep hatred, so there is no need to deliberately torture Yang Wanfu, and although Yang Wanfu is only two or three years younger than Gao Yue, his knowledge, bearing, vision, mood, etc. cannot be compared at all, he is just a fledgling ignorant young man, and he is in vain to threaten him, and he can't show any prestige.

Yang Wanfu was captured for many days, and his heart was terrified and remorseful, and he was extremely tormented. At first sight of my relatives, I was indeed like a child, aggrieved and sad, and I couldn't help but be emotional.

Yang Nandi pulled Yang Wanfu, patted him on the back, and whispered comfortingly: "Okay, the boy doesn't shed tears when he bleeds, and you are almost seventeen years old, don't do this." Since the eldest brother is here, he will take you back safely no matter what. ”

Yang Wanfu's lips trembled, and he tried his best to hold back the tears that were about to roll down and said: "Big brother, I have failed my uncle's trust, I am an incompetent person, and I have disgraced my uncle and brothers......"

"Eh, victory and defeat are commonplace, don't mention it again after it's over. Father is not angry, he is very worried about you, don't worry. Seeing Yang Wanfu mention the defeat in public, Yang Nandi looked at Gao Yue with some embarrassment, but fortunately, Gao Yue's face was as usual, and he didn't see any arrogance or dissatisfaction.

Yang Nandi was about to phrase his words, but Gao Yue had already smiled and said, "General Xiao Yang has been in my place for a few days, and I am often worried that I will not take good care of him. Just when the eldest prince arrived, I will return General Xiao Yang to you, and I will finally return to Zhao and I will breathe a sigh of relief. ”

When Yang Wanfu heard this, his heart that had been tense for many days suddenly relaxed, and he was ashamed and grateful, he turned to Gao Yue and gave a deep salute, and whimpered: "General Gao is broad-minded, and he did not scold me because I was an enemy general, and he was very polite and polite to me. If I have the opportunity in the future, I will be a cow and a horse, and I will definitely repay General Gao. ”

Yang Nandi stepped forward and also gave a salute, "General Gao's generosity and kindness are remembered by my people." Whatever else, we will not forget this great affection, and we will always try to reciprocate, and on behalf of my father, I sincerely thank you for your kindness and generosity. ”

Gao Yue replied without being humble or arrogant, and asked the Yang family brothers not to worry, he motioned for Yang Wanfu to go down to rest first, and then made a gesture to invite Yang Nandi to sit down again.

Yang Nandi was relieved in his heart, he raised the teacup and blew it, took a sip lightly, and said with a smile: "I came this time, and I happened to bring some tea, which was given to my father by the first emperor back then, and my father specially asked me to transfer it to the general." The taste of this tea should be different from that of the general, so the general may wish to taste it in his spare time. ”

In fact, among the gifts brought by Yang Nandi, there were two cans of high-grade Yunwu Bird Tongue Tea, which were indeed given to Yang Maosou by Emperor Huai of Jin at the beginning. I don't know how much better than the tea used in Gao Yue's hospitality. But Yang Nandi didn't say to his face that he was bringing the best tea, which was better than Gao Yue's tea, but euphemistically said that the taste was different, so as to avoid the embarrassment of the scene.

Gao Yue thanked him again and again, saying that he was a little sluggish, and hoped that Yang Nandi would not mind. He also said that the king of Di actually gave the royal gift, and the etiquette was too heavy, and he was very frightened; Yang Nandi hurriedly said that this should be, General Gao, a young hero, is brave and brave, and it is rare to be benevolent, righteous and honest, which makes people can't help but feel close.

So the parents of both sides are short, the scenery and people's feelings, and they talk freely, and occasionally there are accompanying entourage, who take over the conversation and set off the atmosphere, and the hall is full of laughter and laughter.

"The eldest prince is also a friendly and cheerful person, Gao really hates to see each other late." After chatting for a while, the tea was changed, Gao Yue saw that the time was almost up, so he straightened his body, and said with a slight smile: "The eldest prince has worked hard from afar, I wanted to invite distinguished guests and rest first, but I was confused and confused in my heart, I really don't know what advice the eldest prince has here?" ”

Seeing that Gao Yue was on the topic, Yang Nandi didn't want to talk about it in generalities. But he didn't open his mouth and said that I would come to the peace talks, so he lost the momentum. Just like bargaining in trading, the more anxious and impatient you are, the easier it is to expose the psychological bottom price, and in the end it is often unsatisfactory and you can't talk about a satisfactory result.

Yang Nandi gently put down the teacup, his eyes were flexible and shining, he did not answer positively, and said in a circle: "I came this time, my father has repeatedly asked me to tell the general the sincerity of the Di people. Although there seems to be some misunderstanding between our two families at present, please believe me, we are Di people, and we are willing to become close allies with the general who share blessings and misfortunes. ”

Gao Yue keenly captured the two most important words in Yang Nan's words: 'Ally. Although Yang Nandi did not answer the question directly, he skillfully informed his intentions.

"Under the Putian, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. I and the king of Di, originally under the rule of the court of one side of the shepherd, speaking of which, the king of Di has a high prestige, the rank is grand, I am a rising generation, should be respectful, face to face and carry out the nephew ceremony. ”

Gao Yue saw that Yang Nandi was listening carefully, and said with a heartfelt voice: "However, the king of Nanyang rebelled with the arrogance of the king of Di, so that the general would lead the crowd to fight. The king of Nanyang, Yu Wai is the right prime minister, the governor of the capital, the servant, and the state pastor; Yu Nei is a close relative of the royal family, and the king of the domain. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is now under one person and above ten thousand. ”

"If you want to say a misunderstanding, the eldest prince and I hit it off at first sight, and we talked very happily, even if we talk at night, we are never tired of it, and where is there any misunderstanding with you!"

Gao Yue sighed, stared closely at Yang Nandi's expression, and said slowly, "It is not my wish to raise troops to attack your department, but there is an order from the peak, and I can't help but obey it." Now that the outcome has been decided, the only thing I can do in the future is to try my best to say good things for my father and son in front of the prince, and plead for mercy to make him feel light. ”

Yang Nandi's sharp eyes flashed with anger, and he said in a deep voice: "If you want to add crimes, there is no excuse!" The king of Nanyang insulted and persecuted my Longnan people, just like a lowly slave. He told Sima Bao and his subordinate Zhang Chun that he had molested Yang Mao's concubines and forced the Di people to offer beautiful women, and he spoke out loudly and passionately in public.

For the sake of the overall situation, my father endured humiliation and burden, so he led the crowd to move south from Luoyang, and was willing to live in the relatively remote Wudu Yinping, which he really couldn't afford to provoke and couldn't hide. How could the king of Nanyang get an inch and insist on putting my father and son to death. Even if the rabbit is anxious and bites, how can I let people slaughter people in Longnan? General Gao is driven by people, and he attacks me, don't you know that he is like a murderous knife, held by others! And there is no certainty of victory or defeat, in case of defeat, won't the general regret it? ”

"If you know that I am driven by men, you should know that I am like an arrow, which is shot by men.

Gao Yue was unmoved, and said with an indifferent smile: "Now that my Longxi army has captured most of Yinping County, the northern gateway of Wudu is now at my feet. The officers and men of our army have asked for battle many times, and it is the time when they are eager to try. The so-called momentum is like a bamboo, nothing more than that. The eldest prince, a thousand words can't resist a real sword, although this is a little direct, but the truth is clear, I don't know if the eldest prince thinks so? ”

"Although my tribe is small, but we will never tolerate such injustice, and now we are united in our hatred of the enemy, even if there are some defeats, we will definitely fight to the death, and teach those who are high up and have evil intentions, so that the enemy of foreign invasion will not come and go."

"Are you threatening my general?"

In addition to Gao Yue in Lei Qizhi's eyes, the emperor did not put it in his eyes. Hearing that Yang Nandi's mood changed, his tone became heavier and heavier, he couldn't help but snort coldly, and burst out in a gloomy voice.

Gao Yue frowned, tilted his head slightly, and shouted: "Hugh is rude, go and ask for guilt!" ”

Lei Qizhi was unambiguous, and walked in front of Yang Nandi after a few steps, and the eight personal guards who came with him, as if facing a great enemy, stood up one after another, although they did not show their blades, they were all protected in front of Yang Nandi, and Lei Qizhi looked at each other viciously.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Yang Nandi exhaled a turbid breath, slapped the chair and scolded the guard: "What are you doing? There are no rules for such a startle. Don't apologize yet! ”

The eight guards bowed to Lei Qizhi and retreated together. Lei Qizhi saluted Yang Nandi again: "If you offend the eldest prince Huwei, please punish the eldest prince." ”

Yang Nandi saw Lei Qizhi's stiff beard on his face, and he was majestic and capable, and couldn't help but say: "Eh, the speaker is not guilty, don't take it so seriously." This good man, with an extraordinary appearance, dares to ask the honorable surname? ”

Lei Qizhi looked back at Gao Yue, and when he saw Gao Yue nodding, he said to Yang Nandi: "Under Lei Qizhi, thank the eldest prince for forgiveness." ”

Yang Nandi was taken aback: "Aren't you the Thunder Seven Fingers who fought with my brother Yang Jiantou?" The eight fierce soldiers behind him were all shocked when they heard this, and they looked at Lei Qizhi with different faces.

At the beginning, Yang Jiantou and Lei Qizhi fought dozens of battles, and they could not win in battle, so they were deeply impressed by this person, and after returning to Wudu, they said that in addition to Gao Yue's bravery, there was also a bearded general in the Longxi army. Later, a scout found out the name of Lei Qizhi, and he reported it immediately, so Lei Qizhi is very brave and famous among the people of Wudu.

"No, it's just down. However, in front of the majesty of my general, it is not worth mentioning. On such an occasion, with Gao Yue in charge, Lei Qizhi didn't dare to laugh unbridledly, and his words and deeds were a lot more serious.

Yang Nan is very aware of his brother's force. The one who can fight with Yang Jiantou heartily is definitely a brave general who is far beyond mortals. And in Yang Nandi's heart, there is still a faint joy for the madness that can smash Yang Jian's head. He untied a delicate waist card from under his body and gave Lei Qizhi.

"In a hurry, there is no good gift for a warrior like you. This waist plaque is carved from the big bones of the old yak in Qinghai, which is warm and hard, like jade, and I have always carried it with me. Although it is not a precious thing, it is always an auspicious thing that you can receive. ”

Lei Qizhi didn't take it, and looked back at Gao Yue, Gao Yue turned his head a little more, Lei Qizhi put down the waist card, respectfully thanked Yang Nandi, and retreated to Gao Yue to stand still.

Yang Nandi couldn't help but sigh: "General Gao is strict in governing the army and has a good command of his subordinates, I really admire it." ”
