Chapter 361: Prisoner
readx;
Yeli Wangrong thought for a while and said: "Lord Zhang, I will take 2,000 people with me, and I promise to annihilate those Song troops within ten days!" ”
Zhang Yuan didn't think that Yeli Wangrong would be able to pacify these Song troops with 2,000 men. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He is Han Chinese, and he knows that there is a famous saying among the people called "It's not a raptor, but it's not a river." "Since people dare to come, it is definitely not so easy to clean up. If it is easy to clean up, Yang Lang will not ask for help.
So after Yeli Wangrong finished speaking, Zhang Yuan immediately shook his head: "Two thousand people is too little, I will give you another thousand, and then mobilize another thousand people from the Gansu Military Division, plus Xiliang Mansion, seven thousand people should be enough!" ”
More than a hundred miles in front of Xiliang Mansion, there was a small town called Gesang, where Chen Yuan chased Yang Lang and quickly surrounded it.
More than 400 people under Yang Lang were surrounded by the 2,700 people of the Song army in the mountains and forests outside the town, and Chen Yuan was sure that he could kill this hardcore Han Annihilation at any time, but he did not do it immediately.
This is a bait, if you use it well, you can catch the big fish of Xiliangfu, and maybe there will be an unexpected harvest.
The town is not large, with a population of just over 800. The sudden arrival of the Song army terrified the residents of these small towns!
This time, Chen Yuan did not immediately implement his policy of "no chickens and dogs", but first walked around the town, he wanted to see the trade market here, the current market, and the previous market. There's no way, buyers and sellers are like this, they ask the market clearly wherever they go, and those small villages naturally can't ask anything, but this town can see some of them.
"Penglai Rice Shop"
Chen Yuan smiled when he saw this name: "What about the shopkeeper?" ”
A fat man in his forties dressed as a party item immediately ran over: "General, the villain is here." ”
Chen Yuan glanced at him: "How's the business?" ”
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, stepped forward and pushed open the door: "General, look, where is there any business?" ”
Chen Yuan walked in, there were more than a dozen rice jars in the rice shop, but only one contained half a jar of rice, he grabbed a handful and looked at it: "Now that the green and yellow are not available, it stands to reason that it is the time when the grain can be sold at a good price, why do you just order this goods?" ”
The shopkeeper bent down and said: "The general doesn't know, the Great Song Dynasty has cut off the border trade, and if we want to buy grain, we must buy those sent by the Song people from Mongolia on a long detour, and the price of a stone of rice is terrifying!" That's still hard to find! After we pulled it back, we usually said that it was 100 wen a bag, and now it sells 100 wen a bowl! Where can I sell it at this price? ”
Chen Yuan knew at this time that Fan Zhongyan had adopted his method, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help laughing! As long as Fan Zhongyan does this, the money he invested will come back!
Although the Great Song Dynasty had rationed all the transactions on the road, Chen Yuan had already opened another road, and Chen Sheng's goods store in Goryeo had now opened, which provided great convenience for Chen Yuan. Cargo was transported to Goryeo by sea. The goods sold to Goryeo will not be restricted by the Great Song. Then Chen Sheng transported the goods from Goryeo to Mongolia under the banner of Goryeo firm.
Chen Yuan is not afraid that the party will not buy it, even if these merchants can not buy it, but Li Yuanhao will definitely buy it, even if he offers a sky-high price, he will still come to buy it!
Now there is still half a jar of rice in this "Penglai Rice Shop", where is the rest of the rice? According to the shopkeeper, the money he spent on this jar of rice was the price of the previous eight jars of rice! This meant that the remaining seven cylinders of rice were put into Chen Yuan's pocket. Of course, there are some gods of wealth on the road, but that's a small amount of money, don't care.
The shopkeeper's answer made Chen Yuan very happy in his heart, and the smile hung on his face: "I heard you speak with an accent that seems to be a Song person?" ”
The shopkeeper nodded: "Yes, the villain is a Song man, who originally did some business at the border gate, but then the border pass was not restless, so he came here." ”
Chen Yuan sighed: "The Song people have no choice, I have to burn this place, and I have to smash everything, so let's do it, you fill a bag of rice yourself, and don't worry about the rest." ”
The shopkeeper also wanted to plead: "General, you see that everyone is merciful for the sake of the Song people!" The villain has worked hard for half his life to open such a small shop, you can't smash it! ”
Chen Yuan glanced at him: "I smashed all the other places, just leave you with this one store, do you say you can open it?" ”
The shopkeeper was immediately stunned and couldn't say a word.
At this time, Hu Yanping suddenly ran in from outside: "Sister-in-law, there is a person who wants to see you, and he said that he is from Song." ”
Chen Yuan waved his hand impatiently: "Here, everyone in the Song Party is the same!" If it's a plea, don't let him come. ”
Before Hu Yanping could speak, Chen Yuan heard a voice from the door: "Prisoner Xia Sui, I've seen the general!" ”
At the door stood a man, in his forties, dressed in party attire and looking very thin. The face was dark, and a pair of eyes were deeply sunk into the sockets.
Chen Yuan was shocked when he heard his name, and walked quickly to the door: "Jinmingzhai Supervisor Xia Sui?" ”
"It's the prisoner."
Chen Yuan looked at the face in front of him and asked, "What is the evidence?" ”
Xia casually reached into his arms and took out a big seal: "This is the seal letter of the criminal official, please take a look at it." ”
Chen Yuan took it and took a look, it was indeed Xia Sui's official seal, but this was not enough to explain anything, Jin Mingzhai had fallen, and the official seal could no longer prove the identity of the person in front of him. Even if it was true, Chen Yuan couldn't fully believe him! Because he disappeared after the fall of Jinmingzhai, what did he do during this time? Did you defect to the enemy? Does the fall of Jin Mingzhai have anything to do with him? Chen Yuan doesn't know this!
"Grab it!"
With an order, Su Tu and Tie Anli stepped forward and tied up Xia Sui. Na Xia Sui didn't struggle, but said: "The criminal officer knows that the crime is unforgivable, and he just hopes that the general will listen to me." ”
Chen Yuan nodded: "Say it, if what you say is true, I will explain it to the emperor." ”
In Chen Yuan's mind, Xia Sui would definitely say something to exonerate himself, but what he never expected was that Xia Sui actually said: "There is also a map of Xingqing Mansion in the prisoner's arms, which I drew in the party during this period of time, and I also ask the general to take a look!" ”
Chen Yuan reached into his arms, and sure enough, he took out a map! Taking a closer look, Chen Yuan was surprised!
This map depicts every village and every military camp outside Xingqing Mansion in great detail! The situation in the city is even more detailed, even how wide each street is, how many mansions and how many dry wells there are, and where the location of the palace is, are all clearly marked!
Chen Yuan's hands trembled a little when he saw it, if this map was true, it would be a treasure for Chen Yuan now!
He saw a red dot on the map at the southwest corner of Xingqing Mansion, and immediately asked, "What does this dot mean?" ”
Xia Sui said: "That's where Li Yuanhao held General Li Shibin and General Liu Ping. ”
Chen Yuan finally understood what Xia Sui was doing during this time, and at this moment, he was suddenly a little moved!
Xia Sui continued: "General, I still have forty Qiang people who swear to follow General Li Shibin with me, but our number is too small to rescue people!" ”
Chen Yuan glanced at him: "Have you ever thought that if you disappear like this, everyone will put the responsibility for the fall of Jinmingzhai on you?" Have you ever thought that if you choose to go back and explain things clearly to the emperor, you can still be an official? ”
Xia Sui smiled at the corner of his mouth: "The fall of Jinmingzhai is the fault of the official, General Li Shibin is not good at planning, he is an incompetent official, and he was deceived by that Li Yuanhao." ”
Xia Sui did not shirk his responsibility, and even took on the responsibility that he should not have shouldered, which made Chen Yuan have a good impression of this person.
"As for General Li Shibin, he has a very high prestige among the Qiang people, but he was too self-righteous for a period of time, which caused the displeasure of his subordinates. The general may not know that Li Yuanhao is in difficulty now, so most of his promises to those Qiang leaders have not been fulfilled, and if we can rescue General Li Shibin at this time, we will have a chance to turn the situation back! ”
Chen Yuan looked at Xia Sui and smiled slowly: "I think you must have a plan for coming to me, right?" ”
Xia Sui nodded.
Chen Yuan said: "Tell me your plan, and I'll see if it's worth my gamble." ”
Xia Sui's eyes shone brightly: "In the past, when Li Yuanhao went on expeditions, Yeli Wangrong went with him, but this time because Yeli Wangrong's father died of illness, he stayed at home. His home is in the grain city of Xingqing Mansion. ”
Chen Yuan shook his head: "Yeli Wangrong can fight well, he is a well-known warrior in the party, as long as there are two hundred people around him, I am not sure to catch him." ”
Xia Sui smiled: "I know." But Nori Wangrong's sister is only a hundred pro-soldiers by her side! She is still in the Grain City, and according to the rules of the party, she can only return to Xingqing Mansion after five days. ”
Chen Yuan looked at Xia Sui: "Yeli Wangrong's sister? ”
Xia Sui nodded: "Yes, she has another identity, Li Yuanhao's genuine concubine!" ”
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed! He is not interested in Yeli Wangrong's sister, but if it is Li Yuanhao's wife, it will be different! Chen Yuan has always been very enthusiastic about Li Yuanhao's women, he robbed them all before he passed the door, how could he not say hello when he met the genuine sister-in-law this time?
His eyes gave off a strange look, staring at Na Xia Sui: "You, don't lie to me." ”
Xia Sui was very calm: "Why not gamble on the general?" Believe in the offender once! ”
Chen Yuan thought for a while, and was ruthless in his heart: "Bet!" Brother Yuan Hao, since you are not here, I will go and meet my sister-in-law, the first time we meet, my brother will definitely greet my sister-in-law well! ”
"Untie Lord Xia!"
Since you bet on believing in others, don't tie them up. Chen Yuan dragged a chair from the store and sat down, looking at the rice shop shopkeeper who was silent in grief: "Take care of him for me!" We take him wherever we go! ”
