Chapter 122: Doing Good Deeds
Chapter 122: Do Good Deed
"Military Supervisor, we have wronged..."Outside the large tent of the Jialuhe Military Supervisor, several high poles were erected, on which were hung a few bloody guys, and two soldiers brandished cowhide whips to torture them in turn. Under the scorching sun, there were still people screaming loudly and screaming for grievances, but soon there was no sound, only the air in but not the breath out.
"Prisoner, they're dead!" A soldier stepped forward and looked at it.
"Hmph, drag it out and throw it outside to feed the wolves!" Nori drank a glass of wine and said viciously, the sullenness in his heart dissipated slightly, since the defeat in Yamato Castle, he ran away angrily and returned to his lair, but bad luck still accompanied him. The Song army deceitfully opened the Jialu Village and seized the fortress, although he did not attack himself, but turned to Yulin City to plunder, he understood that the reason why he was able to get the position of military supervisor was mainly because he had thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and occupied dangerous places.
Now that he has lost most of his elite, he has lost important land, and his status is definitely not as good as before, but the good news is that he left decisively, Li Jifeng was defeated and the whole army was destroyed, and he was able to retain some of the elite soldiers, and the military supervision department had no time to hold himself accountable for retreating from the battle for the time being. But now it has also fallen into an embarrassing situation, repeated battles, a large number of fertile fields in his own department have been destroyed, this year must be no harvest, and his own betrayal, will definitely not get the relief of the Xia State, what is even more infuriating is that the neighboring Qu Yehe military supervisor Weng Li actually fell into the well, sent people to his own tribe to lobby, recruit those small tribes who were vassal to him, and the person who was killed outside the tent was the lobbyist he sent.
"The military supervisor, the shopkeeper Zhang's request to see said that he wanted to negotiate a deal with the military supervisor!" Just when Yeli was worried, a small school came in and said.
"Huh?! What kind of business did he come to do at this time! Yeli put down the bowl and thought for a moment, "Let him in!" ”
They had known each other for a long time, and at first there were only thirty or forty horses, and a small caravan of twenty or thirty people, most of whom were engaged in the business of smuggling smuggled salt and horses in the border areas, and from time to time they were engaged in some shoddy means, which were not good mixed here. But in the past few years, this kid suddenly made a fortune, and he made a big deal of hundreds of thousands of yuan, and incorporated a lot of large and small caravans in the Linfu area, and his strength increased greatly, and he also had business contacts with him in recent years, and the cooperation between the two sides was very pleasant.
"Ha Lu Ha, military supervisor, who provoked you to lose such a big temper, it's really damned!" The shopkeeper hadn't entered the account yet, and the laughter came in first.
"Let the nobles smile, it's all something that doesn't have long eyes!" Wild burped and let him into the tent.
"The general's wine is not very good, when you smell it, it is a mixed wine brewed by a small brewery!" Shopkeeper Zhang snorted and said with a smile.
"Now that the war is going on again, the caravans are hiding far away, where is there good wine to drink!" Ye Li smiled awkwardly, but his eyes looked up and down at the two people behind the shopkeeper, one was a Confucian dress, wearing a long robe, wearing a crown of hair, with an elegant face, and a folding fan in his hand; The other was disheveled, with a headband, a rosary on his chest, a monk's robe, a head, a handsome face but with melancholy, carrying a long sheath knife in his hand, and exuding a compelling evil aura on his body.
"Hehe, I knew that General Lu Dao had no good wine, and his life was difficult, so he specially brought a cart of good wine to the general!" The shopkeeper clapped his hands, and the two guys outside brought in a jar of wine.
"Well, this is Bianjing's soju!" As soon as the wine jar was opened, Yeli took a deep breath and said excitedly.
"Ha Luha, the general is really a veteran of wine, as soon as you smell it, you will know it, pour it for the general!" The shopkeeper Zhang instructed the man to pour wine for Yeli, and Yeli was also very interested, and he worked two bowls in a row before feeding the 'wine worms' in his stomach.
"Good wine, really good wine!" Ye Li burped a few times, wiped his mouth, and then hurriedly invited the shopkeeper to sit down, and then ordered his subordinates to kill sheep and cattle to entertain guests. …,
A few people gossiped for a while, and the dishes came up, but they were some stewed meat, barbecue meat, etc., and the vegetables were just wild vegetables in the field, all of which were held on large plates.
"What kind of business does the shopkeeper need the help of this official?" A few people ate for a while, and Yeli asked the shopkeeper who was sitting in his hands.
"Hehe, this still needs the help of the general, let's make a fortune together!" Shopkeeper Zhang put down the bones in his hand and said.
"Oh, that's a big deal, tell me about it!" Yeli is interested, fighting the war is the most expensive food, and this year's harvest is hopeless, so he can only make up for it through other places.
"I'm just a middleman in this matter, and the general has to talk to the shopkeeper about the business!" The shopkeeper pointed to the scribe who had come with him.
"I don't know what kind of business the shopkeeper does?" Yeli always thought that the scribe was just the entourage of the shopkeeper, and when he heard him, he realized that this was the master, and the shopkeeper respected him very much, thinking that he was also a figure with a head and a face.
"General, I'm here to save your life, this deal is big enough!" The shopkeeper chuckled.
"Who are you? Take him down" Ye Li was taken aback, got up and asked, the relatives standing behind him also drew a knife in his hand, rushed over, only to see that the head Tuo, who was still drinking just now, suddenly burst out, the long knife in his hand was unsheathed, and there were a few crisp sounds of 'clanging', Ye Li several relatives covered their wrists, and all the knives in their hands fell to the ground, and the long knife was already on Ye Li's shoulder.
"Wu Er, you've drunk too much again, don't be unreasonable!" The shopkeeper walked over and patted Toutuo to ask him to put away his knife, and pulled Yeli to sit down, "My brother has drunk too much, I don't know the severity of the road, and please calm the general's anger!" ”
Yeli is also a long-time battle-hardened person, and he also has the strength to do it, and he couldn't break free from the pull of this seemingly weak road shopkeeper after two struggles, and he was shocked in his heart, knowing that Lu Dao met a master, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and most of the wine woke up, "What do you want?" He snapped.
"I said it, I'm here to do business with the general, is it not benevolent and righteous to buy and sell, and then say whether it is successful or not, is it still the meaning of the general!" The shopkeeper of the road was still smiling, and pulled Ye Li to sit down, "General, you see that these people are here, how inconvenient it is for us to talk, do you want to let them go down first?" ”
"Humph!" Ye Li was pinched by the shopkeeper of the road, and he felt that half of his body was numb, so he had to cooperate, and waved his hand to let several relatives retreat, and saw them pick up the knife and go out, Na Tuo still returned to his seat, picked up the half-gnawed bone and ate it again, as if he was not interested in their business at all.
"The general is a person who understands, I won't beat around the bush, there are two letters here, the general will talk about it after reading it!" The shopkeeper let go of his hand and took out a letter from his arms and put it in front of Yeli's eyes.
After the founding of the Western Xia, it was also a set of respecting Confucianism and learning from Han, establishing a special school to train the children of the nobles, and using bilingual teaching, so most of the nobles of the Western Xia mastered two languages, and Yeli was also educated in it, although he did not learn well, but he still knew a few words.
"Where did you get this faith?" After reading the letter, Yeli's face changed, and he was silent for a while before asking.
"It doesn't matter where we came from, we just want the general to understand our sincerity, and the deal can be discussed!" The shopkeeper shook his fan and said.
"Then how do I know if this is true or false, and what if you lie to me?" Yeli calmed down, glanced at the three of them, and said.
"Hehe, this is not simple, the three of us are waiting in this tent, the general can go to verify, if you are wrong, you come back and cut us!" Natoutuo drank another bowl of wine and said with a sneer. …,
"The general had better hurry up, otherwise it's too late and you won't be able to catch anyone, so you can't blame us!" The shopkeeper made a gesture of please and said leisurely.
"Okay, since the three of you are happy, please wait in this tent, I will go and go back, if it is true, the official has his own reward, if it is wrong, don't blame me for not talking about friendship!" Ye Li put down a cruel word, and went out of the tent to pick up a team of men and horses to leave, and there was also a team of people outside the tent, holding bows and crossbows to surround the big tent.
"Shopkeeper Zhang has been in the northwest for many years, it's really hard!" Lu Xiaoyao raised his glass and toasted to Zhang Qu.
"Serving the prince is the duty of the next, how dare you say that it is hard, but it is hard work for the two to serve the prince every day!" Zhang Qu took a sip of wine and said respectfully.
"This time, let the shopkeeper Zhang wade through this troubled water with us, and fall into a dangerous place, so that I am really uneasy in the next, and I will toast you again!" Lu Xiaoyao said apologetically.
"I am deeply favored by the prince, and I will not hesitate to go to the soup and fire, I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the trust of the prince, and I will lose the prince!" Zhang Qu said with a sigh.
"The prince is thoughtful, he has no last resort, it will be fine, let's drink wine and eat meat, and wait for the good news!" Lu Xiaoyao said, "Na Yeli ran away on the battlefield, that is regarded as a big crime of rebellion, he has been defeated by the prince repeatedly, his strength has been lost by half, and the people in the tribe are also panicked, and he is not afraid that he will not enter the hub under the internal and external difficulties!" ”
"Do you think that the prince is suspected of taking advantage of people's danger, it doesn't seem kind to do this!" Wu Song, who had been drinking alcohol, suddenly interjected.
"Nonsense, do you know what kind of sin it is in Western Xia for Lu Dao to escape from the battle? Those who flee without a fight, including the chief and deputy generals and their followers, auxiliary troops, and private individuals, 'leave the general behind, and when they are defeated in battle, they will be killed'; in addition, those who lose men, horses, armor, armor, flags, drums, and gold in the war will be punished by demotion and punishment as long as they lose more than one point, and 'if they lose more than five points, the general will be punished with capital punishment'! Lu Xiaoyao shook his fan and said, "Now, Li Jifeng has been captured by our army, and his losses are more than half of his troops, and he will be punished for two crimes, which is enough for him to die twice, this is not counted, but also affects his family and clan, the prince is helping him by arranging this, how can he take advantage of the danger of others?" ”
"Besides, do you know what the letter is about? It was a secret letter written by Li Jifeng to a leader of the Yeli clan, asking him to rebel against the clan and kill Yeli instead, but this letter was intercepted by us, otherwise he didn't know if his head would grow on his neck, and the prince saved his life! Zhang Qu also said.
"That's... So the prince is doing a good deed by saving the lives of Yeli and his whole clan! Wu Song said, seeing the two of them nodding in unison, he couldn't figure it out again, the prince defeated Yeli, and spread rumors everywhere, saying, 'Yeli deliberately ventilated and reported that he ambushed the little prince, led Li Jifeng to send troops to ambush, and then offered Jialu Pass, and let the Song army cross the border', this made the person half dead, and now he is running here to pretend to be a good person, is it a good deed?
