Chapter 267: Trading
Except for the southern front, the entire Namsan area has returned to calm, and the traces left by the great war are telling the world the story of what happened here.
Yin Falcon is the highest official of the Thief King City, and he was ordered to stay here. 100,000 Han troops were stationed everywhere outside the city, and the rebel troops were transferred to the northern front and stationed in Nanyue Mansion. The task of the Vietnamese army was to guard the prisoners, and through a series of "ideological" education, those who passed could disrupt the original formation and join the Han army.
Wu Qinglin came to the palace with three apprentices, and Chen Muyang and the others hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Master Du Tianguo is here in person, but what are your orders?" Yin Falcon asked aloud.
Wu Qinglin waved his hand: "I can't talk about orders, my master and apprentice four people were ordered to supervise the army, and now the task has been successfully completed, except for the southern front, there are no masters in the Nanshan region who can threaten the Han army, we should go back and report to His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Yin Falcon did not feel strange about such a proposal, although there were still 1780,000 thieves on the southern front, they were not among the encirclement and suppression, and the emperor had already explained this.
Wu Qinglin turned his head to Chen Muyang and said, "Chen Junshi, when this seat left the imperial capital, the emperor had a special explanation, asking you to go back with us to report on your work after the war, are you ready?"
Chen Muyang sighed and said, "I have been in the undercover thief's nest for forty years, and I have been thinking about meeting His Majesty all the time, but ...... So far, there is no news from Yunyang, how can I explain it to Your Majesty. ”
Wu Qinglin smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, Your Majesty and the crown prince attach great importance to him, his life and death are uncertain, and we are indeed difficult to explain." But things are already like this, you must always face it calmly, and you can't hide it from Your Majesty. ”
Chen Muyang nodded and said, "What the Heavenly Master said is right, paper can't keep the fire, so let's set off immediately." ”
A few minutes later, a medium-sized wing rose into the sky and whistled north.
......
Taking dozens of healing pills every day, Ye Yunyang recovered quickly, and by the third day, he could already sit up on his own, but he could clearly feel a dull pain in his chest.
Since the last time she teased Zhuge Yingqi, she has never appeared again.
Ye Yunyang regretted it, Zhuge Yingqi didn't come forward, he didn't have a chance to ask to leave here, Zhuge Haotang was busy with the command of hundreds of thousands of troops, and he didn't have time to come over to ask for warmth.
No wonder the old saying comes from the mouth, in the final analysis, everything is cheap.
"Sister maid, when is the senior sister coming, have you gone to tell her?" he asked.
The maid replied, "I have informed the eldest lady, just two hours ago. ”
"Then why hasn't she come yet?" he asked again.
The maid thought for a while and guessed: "Maybe the eldest lady is cultivating, so there is no time to come, don't worry, she will definitely come." ”
At this moment, Zhuge Yingqi walked in from outside with an expressionless face, glanced at him with an excited face, and hummed: "I heard that you want to see me?"
Ye Yunyang nodded: "Yes." ”
Zhuge Yingqi turned around and left, and he hurriedly shouted: "Don't go." ”
"You've seen me, aren't you satisfied?" said the beautiful woman as she turned back.
Ye Yunyang almost didn't choke to death by this sentence, sure enough, he was under the eaves, he had to bow his head, and he must not do anything to embarrass the master, otherwise he can only suffer himself.
He hurriedly squeezed out a smiling face: "Senior sister, are you still angry about what happened the day before yesterday? Senior brother is here to make amends to you, and thank you solemnly, thank you for saving your life, junior brother, I will definitely repay you." ”
A glint flashed in the beauty's eyes and asked, "How can you repay it?"
"Well...... this" Ye Yunyang was really asked, in fact, it was just a kind word just now, the children of the rivers and lakes never want to reciprocate when they see injustice, they never want to reciprocate, shouldn't it be right?
Obviously, this view does not apply to everyone, and unfortunately there is such a person in front of us.
Zhuge Yingqi looked at him with interest, waiting for his answer, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Ye Yunyang's eyes rolled: "Senior sister's great kindness, junior brother is toothless and unforgettable, in the next life, I will repay you as a cow and a horse, and a grass tie." ”
The corners of Zhuge Yingqi's mouth rose, and Ye Yunyang was secretly observing the changes in her expression, thinking that she had passed the test.
But the beauty immediately put away her smile and said with deep meaning: "I'll talk about the things in the next life, let's talk about how to repay me in this life, let's be practical." ”
Ye Yunyang was disappointed, this girl is so smart, what her buddy said was so sincere, she didn't even fall for it.
It seems that blood will not work without cutting the flesh, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets on me, and some gold leaves, all of which are ...... To you. ”
"Giggles, do you think the money is still your own?" the beautiful woman smiled happily.
Ye Yunyang secretly scolded in his heart, the money was no longer on him, with Zhuge Yingqi's character, it was strange that he could return it.
Seeing his angry face, the beautiful woman snorted: "What do you think, Miss Ben is not as dirty as you think, so I won't be greedy for your money." Let me tell you the truth, in the past few days alone, you have taken more than 10,000 taels of various pills, and it is natural to give money for medicine, is there anything wrong?"
Ye Yunyang said seriously: "I thought that my senior sister came to save me out of friendship, but I never thought that it would be a deal in the end, just tell me what kind of return you want." I am the meat of the fish for the knife, and now I am the meat on the chopping board, you can chop as you want, and chop as you want. ”
Zhuge Yingqi smiled: "Senior brother, you finally recognize the situation in front of you, it's not Senior Sister and I took advantage of the fire to rob, who let you fall into my hands." ”
Ye Yunyang raised his hand and said, "You can open your mouth, but you must meet one of my requirements, that is, send me back to Dahan, or the City of Thieves." ”
The beauty shook her head: "It's not that I won't let you go, it's that you are seriously injured, although you have recovered a little, but you still can't stand the fatigue of the carriage and horses, and now letting you go is to send you into the ghost gate." ”
Ye Yunyang thought that she would say this, her body was indeed very weak, and it was not suitable for her to travel far, so she nodded and said, "According to your words, just wait for me to get better." ”
Zhuge Yingqi smiled and said: "It's time for me to put forward conditions, I regard gold and silver treasures as dung, so don't worry that I will ask you for money." My condition is very simple, that is, to help the army of the Southern Front get rid of the army of the Eastern Barbarian King and reach the court area of the Southern Barbarian King smoothly, it is too dangerous to continue to stay here, we have to change to a safe place. ”
Ye Yunyang's eyes lit up, and he thought that he was going to put forward any conditions, it turned out to be this, and said: "It's simple, you send me back, I will ask the emperor for a holy decree, let Meng Zhun lead the troops to retreat, and you can leave Nanshan with a swagger." ”
"Yun Yang, since it is cooperation, there must be sincerity in cooperation, right?" Zhuge Haotang walked in and said with a smile: "Everyone is a smart person, and Ming people don't say dark words, so let's talk something practical." ”
Obviously, the two of them were not half interested in what he had just proposed, what made the emperor order, it was just a joke, the emperor announced to the world to fight against Nanshan, and vowed to wipe out the Nanshan thieves, how could he order to let go of hundreds of thousands of thieves.
A Zhuge Yingqi is already difficult to deal with, plus an almost demonic Zhuge Haotang, the opponent is too strong, making Ye Yunyang feel that fighting with them is too tiring.
Since he couldn't deceive them, he had to be true, and he said in a deep voice: "I can help you show you a clear way through the barbarian defense, but you have to agree to my request just now." ”
Zhuge Hao didn't think about it and said, "Deal." ”
Ye Yunyang believed in his character, so he shouldn't break his promise, and smiled faintly: "Bring the map." ”
Zhuge Yingqi personally took a map, which clearly marked the situation of the enemy and us, from the map, the defense line of the Southern Barbarian army is like an iron bucket, with an absolute advantage in the number of troops, and it is impossible to kill a bloody way out.
Ye Yunyang stretched out his right hand, pointed at a place lightly, and said, "Just rush out from here." ”
"Why here, there are 30,000 or 40,000 defenders here, and many fortifications have been built by virtue of the terrain, which is one of the strongest places on the defensive line. Zhuge Haotang glared and said, "Even if I concentrate all my forces and storm it, I may be able to break through, but the casualties must be very large." ”
Ye Yunyang shook his head and said: "There will be no mistake in listening to me, I can't hide it, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty buried a few nails there, and their task was to let go of the thieves on the southern front." ”
Zhuge Yingqi was puzzled: "Why?"
The reason is very simple, most of the generals of the army on the southern front are Zhuge Haotang's people, these generals are all Qin people, strictly speaking, their subordinates are also Qin soldiers, and it is impossible for Great Qin to watch them be wiped out by the Han army. As long as the Han army attacks south, the Qin army will definitely kill from the east, and then it will not be a war between the Han and Nanshan, but a battle between the two empires of the Han and the Qin, and no one can predict the outcome.
Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty only wanted to recover Nanshan and did not want the war to escalate, so he decided to let the bandits of Nanshan go and avoid war with Great Qin.
Moreover, the thief soldiers on the southern front were released, and the first person to be blamed was Meng Zhun, the king of the Eastern Barbarians.
The barbarians made great contributions in this war, annihilating and capturing more than 50,000 thieves, and their own casualties reached nearly 30,000. It was precisely because of their heroic battles on the southern front that the Han army had the opportunity to repair the plank road in the open and dark, attract the enemy's attention to the northern front, launch a surprise attack from the eastern front, and decide the outcome of the battle.
However, in the minds of the Han people, everyone thinks that those who are not of our race must have different hearts. Dongban has made great contributions to the southern expedition of the Han Dynasty, and the emperor can not help but reward Meng Zhun, but he is not willing to reward it, after all, in the strategy of the Han Dynasty, the first task after the destruction of Nanshan is to destroy the Southern Barbarians.
It is a big crime to let go of hundreds of thousands of thieves, and at that time, the emperor will not only not have to reward Meng Zhun, but can even be held accountable. However, the emperor was benevolent, and for the sake of the hard work of the Eastern Barbarians, he waved a big pen - the merits and demerits were offset, and I believe that Meng Zhun would not dare to have any opinions, and he would still rely on the support of the Han Dynasty.
In this way, Dongban is equivalent to a battle with the white gang, not to mention the loss of tens of thousands of horses, not to mention any benefits, the key is that there can be no complaints, who made you make a big mistake.
After listening to his explanation, Zhuge Yingqi glared and said, "Your emperor is too shrewd, he is the biggest old fox in the world." ”
Ye Yunyang was silent, in fact, he really wanted to say that this plan was come up by himself, and it had nothing to do with the emperor.
Zhuge Haotang slapped the table: "Okay, I will immediately order the generals of all departments to prepare for the pull-out, let's leave tonight!" Yun Yang, you also prepare and go with us." ”
"What are you going to go with?" Ye Yunyang's face immediately changed: "Didn't we say okay, I'll help you make suggestions, you send me back to Dahan, and you will change your hexagram in just a few minutes!" Zhuge Haotang, what do you mean?"
