"If this is the case, it's still not Yusuke, so why don't you continue to cut it?"

In the Tang military camp, Wang Changling heard that another envoy from the Khitan people was coming, and he asked with a smile.

"Cutting off the heads of two Khitan envoys is nothing, it's just the buttocks of the county commander, I'm afraid I'm going to be beaten with a military stick again." Zhang Hao said with a smile.

Tong Mu Ding said: "If you can break the Khitan, my buttocks should be counted as the first merit." ”

Everyone laughed, and Mou Ding was different from ordinary Goguryeo people, he liked to read Chinese books, and he was good at Tang poetry, and Cen Shen and Wang Changling were friendly with him. It is Zhang Hao, who also has a lot of dealings with him, but Nan Jiyun, as a martial artist, can't talk about going with these literati.

"Let's go and have a look first." Ye Changdao.

When he arrived at the camp gate, he saw Gongfu who was uneasy on a horse, and he smiled secretly in his heart at the moment, sure enough, after killing two Khitans in a row, the Khitans finally sent Gongfu.

However, there was a bitter look on his face, and he stepped forward and said: "Isn't this Gong Fu Langjun, you go back quickly, my Sima, I don't want to see you"

Gong Fu was also very happy to see an acquaintance, although the two had only met in Jian'an Prefecture, but thinking about this side of the fate would always keep him from being cut off without saying a word.

"It turned out to be a clamp male, a clamp male ......"

Gong Fu was quite good at flattering words, and talked a lot, but he found that Tong Mu Ding still had a bitter face, so he changed his tone and asked, "Why did Brother Tong say that Ye Sima didn't want to see me?" ”

"Alas, you sent two groups of envoys before, both of which angered Ye Sima, and they cut off their heads and returned it, but even I was beaten with a military stick."

Gong Fu heard the deputy envoy say about this matter, but the deputy envoy did not say that it was Tong Mu Ding who was beaten. Therefore, when Gong Fu heard this, his heart moved: This seems to prove that Tong Mu Ding is not very valued under Ye Chang's account?

He thought of himself, he was also a Goguryeo, on the side of the Khitans, although Dilie Khan still attached great importance to him, but because of his lonely strength, the entire Khitan head people held the group to embarrass him, and the situation was no better than that of Mou Ding.

"This can't be done, we Goguryeo people will not be treated by the Han people after all, after all, we are the remnants of Goguryeo." Yusuke sighed and comforted: "But I've heard of your name, and I think that Gong Gong is extremely talented, as long as you get someone who appreciates you, you will definitely be able to soar to the sky."

"Those who appreciate me...... Where will it be? Tong Mu Ding said with emotion.

Speaking of this, he seemed to be speechless, and began to never talk about it, but said to Gong Fu again: "Gong Langjun, you really better please go back first, if you provoke ...... anger"

As he was talking, another person strode over, and when he saw that Mou Ding was here, he shouted, "Linu, what are you doing here?"

Hearing the insulting title of "Linu", a trace of anger suddenly flashed in Gong Fu's eyes, but Tong Mu Ding swallowed his anger and arched his hand: "I'm seeing the envoy of the Khitan army......

"Zhilu said that you are seeing the envoy of the Khitan army, Sima saw that you have not returned for so long, let me urge you" The man reprimanded: "You can't do any trivial things, you really are a good-for-nothing Linu"

"This goes, this goes."

The man snorted, then turned back to the camp, and Gong Fu was furious and asked in a low voice, "What official position does this person hold, dare to be so rude?"

"Only one person has no official position, just a guard in front of Ye Sima's tent." Tong Mu Ding lowered his head and said: "Alas, I've hurt you, come in with me."

Gong Fu's heart moved again: Tong Mu Ding can be regarded as a high-level in Jili Prefecture, but he is a district guard, and he has no official position, so he can reprimand him as if he was a son, which proves that Tong Mu Ding is indeed not happy with Datang. But what he thinks in his heart has to be further tested.

Thinking of this, he no longer spoke, but followed behind Tong Mu Ding and entered the Tang army camp.

When he saw Ye Chang, he was still slightly surprised, because Ye Chang was too young. Although Ye Chang has a slight beard, he is only in his early twenties after all. However, Gong Fu thought about it carefully in his heart and felt that this was normal, perhaps it was because of his youth that he had such a violent temper and killed two messengers in a row.

Thinking of the fate of the two envoys in front of him, Gong Fu suddenly became more humble, and only dared to look at Ye Chang, so he knelt down and saluted: "Goguryeo Gong Fu, I have seen Ye Sima"

He emphasized that he was a Goguryeo, not a Khitan, lest Ye Chang go crazy and kill people as soon as he heard the word Khitan. Ye Chang was really not so angry, and said a little lazily: "Goguryeo people...... It's the same clan as Tong Mu Ding, it's all waste... The Khitans sent a waste like you to humiliate me

Gong Fu heard that he despised Mu Ding so much, and the thought in his heart became clearer and clearer, and he bowed down and said: "The Khitan people are just some shepherd slaves of the Tang Dynasty, where do they dare to humiliate Ye Sima The reason why they sent villains is just because they are afraid of Ye Sima's prestige and dare not come to see them. ”

Hearing this, Ye Chang laughed, hearing Ye Chang laughing happily, Gong Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that his life was saved.

But before he could put down his hanging heart, Ye Chang's laughter stopped abruptly, and then roared angrily: "The Khitan people are afraid of me, but you, Linu, are not afraid of me, could it be that you despise me, and someone ...... come."

Gong Fu suddenly shuddered and almost cried.

This Sima of the Tang Dynasty was moody, and he was simply crazy

"Slowly, slowly, the villain has a Khitan military report," he shouted.

Ye Chang heard this, waved his hand, and the two soldiers who were holding Gong Fu fell back into place, and Gong Fu kowtowed like pounding garlic: "The villain is not afraid of Sima, but because there is a military intelligence to report Sima, I don't think Sima will blame the villain for being a thief ......."

"Say, if the military situation you said is really useful, I will spare your life, and I will not hesitate to ask the court for a reward for you, like Mou Ding, now it is my county order of the Tang Dynasty...... The county orders of a large country are better than the kings of small countries."

Gong Fu secretly scolded in his heart, like Tong Mu Ding, with the name of a county order, he was regarded as a slave by Ye Changhu, what was there to drink, but on his face, he pretended to be happy: "Thank you so much Ye Sima, I Gong can also be the Datang County Order...... It's not in vain that I've worked hard to learn Chinese characters."

"Say it."

"Yes, yes, this Khitan army is actually the Diera Department of its eight departments, and it came to Liaodong on the order of the Khitan Khan to block the noon. The Khitan were afraid of the Tang Dynasty and were forced by the Pinglu army in Liucheng to leave the Songdesert ......"

"I know all this, Dr. An has already said in his recital to the imperial court, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't be here, and the reinforcements given to me by the imperial court wouldn't be so refreshing" Ye Chang said impatiently.

Hearing Ye Chang mention "reinforcements", Gong Fu's ears suddenly pricked up, this is one of the most important purposes of his trip, to find out whether Datang has sent reinforcements to Liaodong, and if so, what will be the number. He judged from Ye Chang's tone that Datang not only sent reinforcements, but also had a lot of people, so Ye Chang thought it was "refreshing".

"Yes, yes, the villain nagged...... There are only more than 20,000 people in the Diera Division, of which there are only more than 6,400 capable warriors, and a few days ago, they were broken by Sima Yi and slaughtered nearly 2,000 people. ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"They sent villains to prove that Sima Lian killed two Khitan envoys, but they still had to send villains, if they weren't afraid of Sima, how could this be? When I was in the Khitan army, I heard about Sima Huwei, and now I look at it, the real person is better than the rumors, and Sima is even more majestic than the Khitan people say."

Hearing his flattery, Ye Chang laughed: "You guy can speak, and Mu Ding is far worse than you...... Get up, don't kneel on the ground. ”

It was only after three bows that Yusuke struggled to get up, because he had been kneeling on the ground for a long time, his feet were a little trembling, and he trembled several times before he could stand firmly.

"Tell me everything else, just rely on these, but you can't make a contribution."

"Yes, the villain also learned that although the Khitan claimed to have an army of 60,000 under the city of Jian'an, most of them were actually gathered by various departments, and after learning that Sala was defeated, they all had different intentions."

"It's natural to have different hearts, how many soldiers and horses are there in the Khitans." Ye Chang had a sneer on his face: "I'm here, the Khitans won't dare to attack Anzhou City with all their might, otherwise give me a stab in the back, and he will definitely be defeated." I only need to delay until the main reinforcements arrive, and then I can crush the Khitans head-on...... These Liaodong tribes, since they have already betrayed my Tang Dynasty, let them be finished with the Khitans when the time comes."

This time a little secret was revealed, no wonder after the Tang army camped here, they only sent scouts to the north, but the headquarters never moved forward, it turned out to be waiting for reinforcements here Gong Fu turned his mind, and felt that Ye Chang might have another idea, if the Khitans really captured the city of Jian'anzhou, and the Tang army defeated the Khitans again, wouldn't it mean that Jian'an Prefecture also fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty?

In this way, the Tang Dynasty can not only expand its land, but also not hurt its own name of benevolence and righteousness, which is the favorite means of those hypocritical Han people

"What Sima said is extremely true, but it is just ...... If you wait for the main force of the imperial court reinforcements to come, this work of breaking the enemy will not be occupied by Sima alone. ”

With Gong Fu's understanding of the Tang Dynasty border generals, they are very greedy for their military exploits, and Ye Chang will not be an exception. Sure enough, as soon as his words came out, Ye Chang's expression moved, and then he laughed.

Gong Fu peeked at it, and was about to speak again, when he suddenly heard Ye Chang say again: "Come on, drag this guy down and cut it down."

The two guards suddenly stepped forward again, Gong Fu was shocked, and hurriedly fell to the ground again: "The villain is not guilty, the villain is meritorious, Ye Sima Nian spared the villain's life for the sake of the villain's fierce loyalty to the Tang Dynasty, so as to run for Sima."

"If you persuade me to fight quickly, don't you want to lead me to a great defeat?" Ye Chang sneered: "When I'm a stupid man, this little trick dares to show off in front of me"

"The villain is not a trick, the villain is really meritorious...... If the Tang Heavenly Army broke the Khitan from the front, the villain would not have made the slightest contribution, how could he be like Mou Ding, who was raised by Sima as a county commander? Gong Fu shouted: "The villain is really wholeheartedly for the sake of Sima, but he is a little selfish, Sima is clear, and the villain does not dare to do it again."

His attitude made Ye Chang very satisfied, and waved his hand to let him go: "Tell me, how I am in a hurry to break the thief." ”

"The villain was forced to be a messenger this time, which is Sima's chance to win. Those Liaodong tribes have already left their minds, if the villain takes Sima's order and goes to recruit him, they will inevitably abandon the Khitan and vote for the Tang Dynasty. They had forty or fifty thousand men in their hands, although most of them were old and weak, and perhaps more than 10,000 warriors. When Sima's army was at war with the Khitan, they suddenly counterattacked, and the Khitan would be defeated."

Ye Chang's expression moved: This is really a chance to win

"And with the help of these people, Ye Sima can go straight to Gaimu Prefecture and recover thousands of miles of territory without the need for reinforcements from the imperial court. The good news is transmitted back to Chang'an, and the Son of Heaven will worship Sima as the prime minister, at least it is also a town festival."

Ye Chang hesitated for a while, as if he was moved by what he said. Gong Fu took the hot iron, and said: "The villain is the envoy of Sima, go back and lobby the leaders of the tribes, if the Khitan knows, the villain will definitely die...... The villain takes this risk, but it is just a fame and wealth, the villain is a Goguryeo person, not Sima, who can give the villain fame and wealth? ”

"Look...... Is what this Linu said true? ”

Ye Chang walked around the tent twice with his hands behind his back, and then asked a few staff members dressed as scribes beside him.

"Sima Xiu is going to fall for this person's tricks, this person is the envoy of the Khitan, and he will win the trust of the Khitan slave leader, how can he be used by me" Gong Fu was happy in his heart, but saw a person arching his hand and said: "Sima only waited for the reinforcements to arrive, it was already a great achievement, why should he be greedy for this little profit and take risks?" ”

"You have a point" Ye Chang nodded when he heard this, and then looked up at the two guards, probably asking the guards to drag away the bow and slash.

Gong Fu was anxious in his heart, and without waiting for Ye Chang to speak, he got up and waved at the person who had just spoken: "Sir, why do you say this, the Tang Dynasty is rich and the Khitan is poor, the Tang Dynasty is strong and the Khitan is weak, I am a Goguryeo, not a Khitan, why is Gan used by the Khitan?" Mr. is suspicious, but he doesn't understand people's hearts, I just want to choose a master and do things, is it better to do things in the Tang Dynasty or in Khitan? ”

When he said this, the scribe was speechless, and in annoyance and anger, he bowed with one hand: "Linu is cunning, it can be seen from this, Ye Sima, quickly order to punish him, don't listen to his evil words"

"Exactly, this person's goblies confuse the public, and Sima quickly punishes him" is another literati.

"Is what I said a lie, Sima Ming has seen thousands of miles, and he can tell the difference, you two are just rotten Confucians, how dare you talk nonsense in front of Ye Sima? Is it Ye Sima who decides in this army, or is it up to you rotten Confucians? ”

They quarreled, Ye Chang looked at this side for a while, and looked at that side for a while, he was impatient with the quarrel on both sides, and roared: "Shut up"

After everyone stopped, Ye Chang said to Tong Mu Ding: "Tong Mu Ding, you take this person down to rest."

Gong Fu was shocked in his heart, after being taken out of the city, how could those literati not attack him desperately? Seeing Tong Mu Ding coming, he said to Ye Chang while leaving the camp: "Ye Sima should be interrupted, I am afraid that this golden opportunity for meritorious service will be fleeting."
