"Wang Jinkui! Do you know the consequences of doing so? "Yao Chongyu was shocked, and this situation was completely unexpected. If he is captured and his soldiers are disarmed, then Yuezhou will gain and lose, and this mission will fail. Although this possibility is small, he still suffers a little bit from the gains and losses.

"Let the king rest his anger for the time being! Please send the two envoys to Xiangyin for a while, the last general and others agree very much, after all, these two people are rude first, and Liu Envoyjun has sent someone to Tokyo to make a table, but if the weapons of the forbidden army brothers are confiscated, it is a little less considered, please make Jun think twice! Seeing this, a tall, but elegant-looking middle-aged general of the Chu army stood up and played a round game.

"Zhou Xingfeng! You actually eat inside and out? Wang Jinkui was angry, but no matter how he looked at it, he was a little stubble. The loss of Baling, as well as the death of his confidant Uncle Pan, made Wang Jinkui like a fish in his throat, and he wanted to avenge him and cast a rat trap, so it was inevitable.

"What the envoy said is wrong, what kind of person Commander Zhou is, all the brothers know it, and this matter really needs to be considered in the long run." At this time, another Chu general next to him also stood up and persuaded him.

"He Jingzhen! You actually said the same thing, in vain I have always trusted you, and today you are in opposition to me......" Wang Jinkui kicked the case table in anger and strode out of the cabin.

"Please stay ...... you" General Chu, named He Jingzhen, greeted Zhou Xingfeng, and the two chased them out together.

The generals sitting in the cabin looked at each other, and they all got up and left the table, leaving Yao Chongyu and Zhang Yue and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, but one thing was certain. These Chu generals are singing double reed operas, the purpose is to ask the two of them to go to Xiangyin, so that they have a home advantage.

Half an hour later, Sima He Jingzhen, the marching officer of the Chu army, came out to find Zhang Yue and the two, and after politely consulting the opinions of the two, Zhang Yue sent his own soldiers back to the headquarters to pass the order, and after the forbidden army fleet docked, handed over the warship and temporarily camped in Baishawan. Yao Chongyu and Zhang Yue led a personal army and returned to Xiangyin with the Chu army fleet.

When the sun was about to set, the fleet arrived at the sandbank wharf in the west of Xiangyin City to anchor, Wang Jinkui took the lead in disembarking and leaving, Zhang Yue and Yao Chongyu were still guided into the city by the marching Sima He Jingzhen, and settled down in the temporary post house in Xiangyin City.

That night, the Chu army department did not say anything, and the next few days were ignored, and the medicine was a little anxious, so he took Zhang Yue to wander around the city every day, inquiring about all kinds of gossip, which can be regarded as a gain.

It turned out that the generals of the Chu army still had different opinions, and Liu Yan intended to return to the Great Zhou, probably at the same time that Zhang Yue and others led the troops south from Tangzhou, they sent Zhang Chongsi, a general, to Tokyo.

And Wang Jinkui was reluctant to do this, and even threatened to recapture Yuezhou, but in fact, he also understood that if he didn't vote for Da Zhou as an umbrella, he was afraid that the Southern Tang Dynasty would fight again, so he was very entangled in his heart, so he acquiesced in the generals' suggestion to echo Liu Yan's proposal to join Zhou.

But now Da Zhou actually sent troops to capture Yuezhou, which was recaptured by his Wang Jinkui from the hands of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Yuezhou is the gateway to the north and south of Hunan, but the south peeps into Tan Prefecture, the west controls Langzhou, and at the same time blocks Ezhou in the northeast and the Southern Tang Dynasty, which is really worrying, so the thunder is heavy and the rain is small, just shouting, and there is no real army.

Of course, if Wang Jinkui really wants to go his own way, Liu Yan can't stop him, so Liu Yan is also very entangled, it is not easy to come forward to meet Yao Chongyu and Zhang Yue, otherwise it means that he takes the initiative to hand over Yuezhou to Da Zhou, which will only attract the disgust of the generals, and at the same time will further stimulate Wang Jinkui.

So, after delaying again and again, more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the generals of the Chu army still did not fight for a result, until the evening of the fifteenth day of the lunar month, Liu Tao, the envoy of the guest province, belatedly came, and finally broke the deadlock.

In the evening of this day, under the leadership of Liu Yan, the generals of the Chu army rarely played a full guard of honor and went out of the city to meet them at the wharf in the west of the city.

Although Liu Tao is only a young eunuch and a guest provincial envoy from the fourth grade, he can be regarded as a serious minister of the Great Zhou, and his attitude largely represents the court's views on this matter. Therefore, Liu Tao, Yao Chongyu, and Zhang Yue entered the city and returned to the post house, and the marching Sima He Jingzhen stayed here, and Liu Tao and the other three naturally had to accompany each other.

"Young Eunuch Liu came all the way from Tokyo, I don't know if you met Zhang Chongsi, the tooth general sent by Liu Yuanjun before, on the way?" After greeting each other for a while, He Jingzhen began to test it.

"Never! It must be a stubble on the road! Liu Tao replied truthfully, and he understood what the other party meant.

Then he continued: "The Ma brothers killed each other, and they also abused the people without reason, and they were destroyed by the Tang Lord, which is really unfortunate!" The generals recommended Liu Zhijun to lead the troops to expel the Southern Tang Dynasty, which can be said to be well understood. The sincerity of the Great Zhou, His Majesty was very happy when he heard it, and he accepted it happily, but I heard that some people had bad intentions and did not wait for the court to send an envoy to come, and then appointed themselves to official positions, which is really inappropriate, so they took back Yuezhou to help, so as not to rebel again, can He Sima understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts? ”

"This ......" He Jingzhen opened his mouth, only to feel full of bitterness, and replied with a sneer: "The matter of Yuezhou, Liu Yuanjun has not expressed his position for the time being, but the meaning of Wang Yuanjun's words is...... Xiangyin County is classified as Tanzhou moderation, I don't know if it's possible? ”

"I'm just afraid that it's not appropriate, Yuezhou is a state in the middle and lower levels, with only five counties under its jurisdiction, and nearly half of the population tax production is in Xiangyin, so it is difficult for Liu to call the shots!" Liu Tao stroked his long beard, with a look of embarrassment, seeing that He Jingzhen's face suddenly became ugly, he thought about it and comforted him and said: "But the envoy can make up according to the facts, based on what Liu Envoyjun said before, how about sending an envoy when the plan of the court and the central government has been decided?" ”

"It's good! Then He will leave! A few of you should rest early, if you have any shortages, just send someone to spread the word! It's just that there are thousands of forbidden troops in the north of the city, whether they can be transferred back to Baling, a small place in Xiangyin, it is really a bit difficult to afford the food and grass needs. He Jingzhen looked disappointed, but made another request.

Liu Tao is not easy to make decisions about this matter, so he looked at the two people who sat with him, Yao Chongyu was a little hesitant, and it was difficult to make this decision, so he turned his head to look at Zhang Yue and asked for advice.

I have completely tried my best, what is there to hesitate, since Xiangyin has not been taken, it will be difficult to take it back, I believe that the princes of the court will also make a wise decision, otherwise they will not only send themselves so many thousands of soldiers, but whether they can win it depends on Liu Tao's performance.

Zhang Yue replied without thinking: "Yes! But is the ship back? ”

"Of course!" He Jingzhen readily agreed.

In fact, both sides understand that it is naturally inappropriate to start fighting again, and can only be put on the table to talk, but the final decision, of course, has to be decided by the emperor, and the next can only wait for the DPRK to send envoys, and then the final decision can be made.

Next, what happened to Zhang Yue and Zhang Yue again, Liu Tao stayed behind and negotiated with Liu Yan's ministry about the future official positions of the two sides, as well as the division of the station, and the details of the money and food paid to the court.

Taking advantage of the fact that the weather had not yet snowed, early the next morning, Liu Tao personally sent medicine to Chongyu and Zhang Yue out of the city, and would go to the Baishawan Forbidden Army camp, and after receiving the warship, they could return to Baling. Liu Tao watched the two of them lead their soldiers away, and then returned to the post house in the city.

The Chu army guarding the city gate watched this scene silently, turned around and went to the county office quickly, entered from a side gate in the northeast corner, and said to the tooth soldier on duty outside the courtyard, the tooth soldier went in to report, and soon came out and took the head of the capital directly to the back hall.

"Little Pan Zhong has seen the big handsome!" The head of the capital stood in the doorway and bowed.

"Excuse me! Are they gone? A middle-aged man's voice asked.

"Back to the words of the handsome! It's gone! The head of the capital, named Pan Zhong, replied respectfully.

"Your uncle has a misfortune, and it is difficult for me to do it, you have to mourn! Now, you immediately go to Yucao Mountain in the north of the Miluo River, and send me a letter to Chen Yingtai, the leader of the Harao Mountain thieves, he will know how to do it, understand? ”

"The little one understands!" Pan Zhong nodded yes.

After a while, a personal soldier handed Pan Zhong a letter, took him out of the county office, and arranged for fifty personal soldiers to ride with him on horseback, and soon left Xiangyin County.
