Chapter 125: Offering Yin Ping
On the second day, Ren Hua was summoned by Gao Yue, and came to the mansion nervously, thinking about whether to coerce to the end or to understand reason, but was made unable to turn around for a while by Gao Yue's warm and polite attitude.
"General Ren! Yesterday I was in a bad mood because of trivial matters, so don't blame me. Ren Hua stood stunned, and saw Gao Yue greet the guards, brought a chair, and invited him to sit down. Gao Yue smiled and said, "Yesterday, I heard that General Ren conveyed the order of the prince, saying that he would sacrifice Yinping County. This sentence is a bit inappropriate. ”
When Ren Hua heard this, he subconsciously wanted to stand up and refute, but he heard Gao Yue say again: "Yinping County was originally the prince's, why should I sacrifice it?" I just taught and drove away the people who were entrenched privately for the prince, and now the prince wants to govern and inquire in person, I just can't wait to raise my hands in favor. ”
Ren Hua scratched his sideburns and hesitated: "What does General Gao mean, but he is willing to sacrifice Yinping County?" ”
"Bh. Didn't I just say that it can't be called a sacrifice, it's the prince who takes back his original things. General Ren, I am loyal and sincere, and I want to ask you to tell the prince on my behalf. ”
Ren Hua's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that this task, which originally felt a little tricky, would be completed so easily, it was really unexpected, but it was so smooth, he couldn't help but be a little uncertain, and after thinking about it, he still asked: "General Gao understands the righteousness so well, the prince will definitely be very happy." So, I'll leave immediately and return to the prince? ”
Gao Yue suddenly didn't answer, and only looked at him with his sword eyebrows raised, and his face was unpredictable. Ren Huazheng was inexplicable, but when he saw Gu Siduo squeezing out, the big lama saluted, and said: "General Ren, my lord is bent on dedicating Yinping County to him, oh, to the prince of Nanyang." In fact, the big guys are very supportive, but the specific implementation is still somewhat hindered, and the soldiers below don't buy it! ”
Ren Hua looked at him and said angrily: "Aren't you the one who cleaned the toilet yesterday?" How can you talk to me about military and political affairs! ”
"Oh, you don't care about the details." Gu Siduo's face did not change, and his mouth was like clockwork, "You should also know that now these big-headed soldiers are very difficult to manage, and these thousands of soldiers are against it, and our lord can't help but consider it, and the human feelings are very tight." ”
Ren Hua glanced at Gao Yue, and when he saw Gao Yue nodding slightly with a smile, he knew that the rough man in front of him was just a microphone. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he saw Gu Siduo's tricks, for fear that something would go wrong when he said something good, so he said impatiently: "What do you want to say, just say it." ”
"Good! General Ren is cheerful, and I don't have to go around in circles. Gu Siduo didn't look at Gao Yue, and approached Ren Hua in two steps, straightening his fat waist and abdomen, as if he was the one who could finally make a decision in the whole of Longxi.
"In the battle with the enemy, the soldiers below suffered a lot of casualties. Now that Yinping County is returned to the prince, there is no land, no money and food, and none of the treasures and women have been fished, so that the soldiers are full of disappointment, and we can't say it, next time the prince will be sent, I'm afraid that I won't be able to call people and can't help. It's better to do this, the prince pulls out a dime and rewards something for these rough people to make up for it, and now both sides are happy, okay? ”
“…… How much do you want? ”
Gu Siduo smiled and stretched out his huge slap, "Five thousand taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver." ”
Ten days later, an army of 6,000 people arrived at Xiangwu City from north to south, and was warmly received by Gaoyue, the Taishou of Longxi, under the city. The main general of this army is Yang Tao, the general of the Wupin rebellion, and the deputy general is the partial general Ren Hua, and behind the two of them is the Qinzhou Jin army sent by Sima Bao, the king of Nanyang, to take over Yinping County.
On that day, Ren Hua got Gao Yue's promise, so he hurriedly turned back to Shangqi, played Sima Bao, and presented Gao Yue's handwritten letter. Sima Baoben didn't have much hope, but he was very excited to see that he could get Yinping County, which had been controlled by the Di people for a long time, for no reason, so he planned to agree to all of Gao Yue's request.
Zhang Chun originally wanted to provoke an incident, but now he saw that Gao Yue was very happy to agree to donate the land, and he was also a little surprised, and it was not good to say anything about crusade for a while, so he persuaded Sima Bao not to agree to Gao Yue's request in one go, and finally only gave 3,000 taels of gold and 6,000 taels of silver as a gift on the grounds of asking for overreach.
After receiving half of the discounted gift, Gao Yue pretended to be disappointed, and changed from sunny to cloudy angrily, and after a few words of greeting with Yang Tao, he blamed Ren Hua for having no righteousness, so he coldly wanted to send a guest. Ren Hua pretended to be nothing, but Yang Tao felt that Gao Yue contributed people, shed blood and sweat, and forcibly took a county of land from the hands of the people of Longnan, and now he gave it to the king of Nanyang without saying a word, but he was cut in half of the money, and it took a lot of effort, and the result was almost nothing. Zhang Chun secretly thought that King Nanyang's move was quite mean and unfair, and no one could help but chill.
Needless to say, Ren Hua was a little sneering when the main general Yang Tao faced Gao Yue. But anyway, the target is Yinping County, and there is no need to delay much under Xiangwu City, the things above are naturally handled by the people above, and no matter how little money is deducted, they will not stick a child anyway, so the two of them took the opportunity to push the boat down the river, and after the handover with Gao Yue was completed, they surrendered their hands on the horse, and hurriedly went south with six thousand people.
The five elements of the Jin Dynasty belong to the fire virtue, so the military uniforms and flags are still red. The Jin one, there is a day, for the fire virtue. Sima's is also a fire virtue. Horses, "noon" also, "noon" is the most prosperous place of fire. Six thousand well-equipped Jin troops, all wearing red armor, rushed away, looking from a distance like a fire dragon with teeth and claws, watching the army look so neat as if it was a hundred battles of the army gradually disappearing into the horizon, a sneer appeared at the corner of Gao Yue's mouth, and his gaze gradually became cold.
Yang Tao was originally reluctant to lead the army to the south, and he always faintly felt that Gao Yue's willingness to agree to sacrifice Yinping County would never be as simple as he thought. However, the king of Nanyang listened to Zhang Chun's bewitchment, and said that he was rude, and he was a little greedy. I didn't take into account today's risks at all, to put it mildly, you are worried about other people's territory, and you can't say that people are still worried about your head!
Thinking of Zhang Chun, Yang Tao was even more unhappy in his heart, a few years ago, the relationship between the two was still quite good, and when they were fine, they would drink and talk together, even if they were drunk and bed together all night until dawn, it was often the case.
Later, Zhang Chun became more and more domineering with the improvement of his status, because he couldn't stand his increasingly arrogant style and vitriolic ridicule, Yang Tao finally quarreled with him, and when they met again, they were all cold-faced and never wordy. Later, Zhang Chun was promoted to General Pingxi, which was one level higher than his military position, and now Zhang Chun was even more openly and secretly making things difficult for Yang Tao, and he also gave him small shoes to wear at every turn. Yang Tao was angry and embarrassed, but he couldn't do anything for a while.
For example, this time, Zhang Chun proposed to Sima Bao that Yang Tao be the chief general and Ren Hua should be the deputy general, which is also very meaningful. Although Zhang Chun is domineering, he is not stupid, and he is afraid that Gao Yue will secretly plan to cause some twists and turns, so he let Yang Tao be the commander and take all the risks, in case there is disharmony, he will put all the responsibility on Yang Tao, and at that time, it will be given to Sima Bao and Longxi County, and they can be explained.
If Yinping County is taken over smoothly, it will be better, and it will be better to make the henchman Ren Hua share half of the credit, and then promote and promote him later, and others will have nothing to say. Yang Tao guessed most of these internal reasons, and he was even more unwilling to be helpless to become a pawn at the mercy of others, but Sima Bao is now favoring Zhang Chun, basically saying what to listen to, Wang Ling is like a mountain, Yang Tao is scolding his mother in his heart, and in the end, there is no way, so he is on the road.
There is another point that Yang Tao will not know at all. Zhang Chun also secretly instructed Ren Hua to keep an eye on Yang Tao all the way, it is best to show some words in his heart, or observe what Yang Tao has any strange intentions and dissatisfactions, and tell him in detail after he comes back, so that he can better frame him.
