Chapter 189: Lobbying
Xiang Yan was secretly angry in his heart: "This Yang Han has no idea of anti-Yuan at all, the generals here are all Yang Han's clansmen and in-laws, if Yang Han really has the intention of opposing Yuan, how can they say in unison that they want to surrender." It's just that if you want to surrender to the Tartars, you can surrender the Tartars yourself, what are you doing tricking the two of us before surrendering? Xiang Yan glanced at Zhou Zhiruo, Zhou Zhiruo still didn't have the intention of raising her head to speak, so she had to say: "It's not me who is the emperor, no matter who becomes the emperor in the end, I am practicing martial arts on Mount Emei, and this kind of thing is naturally decided by you, Senior Brother Yang." ”
Yang Han said again: "What does Senior Sister Zhou think?" Zhou Zhiruo said: "I am not an official, whoever is the emperor is my Emei head, Senior Brother Yang, who are you doing with me and what do you have to do with me?" It's just that Senior Brother Yang, are you so unconfident in attacking Sichuan? ”
Xiang Yan relieved himself and let go of Zhou Zhiruo's slender jade hand. Xiang Yan was afraid that Zhou Zhiruo would angrily reprimand the generals, thus angering Yang Han, and the consequences would be unimaginable. After all, surrender is the trend of the times at this time, and those who go against the trend will definitely have no good fruit to eat. Fortunately, Zhou Zhiruo did not openly tear his face with Yang Han, and the two still had a chance to escape from the barracks and return to Emei - but Zhou Zhiruo herself is not an impulsive person.
Yang Han sighed: "What if you capture Sichuan? At present, the imperial court and heavenly soldiers are attacking Han Shantong in the Central Plains, and Sichuan is empty, so we can take the opportunity to capture Sichuan. But when the court destroys Han Shantong and the heavenly soldiers return to Sichuan, how can we resist? All the generals agreed: "The Demon Sect and the Beggar Gang have rebelled many times, what is the outcome?" Just a Han Shantong, how long can he last? "At the beginning, the Condor Heroes concentrated the power of the whole martial arts, and they couldn't stop Mongolia from going south, let alone us."
Yang Han nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, let's take advantage of the current court to recruit troops and hurry up, otherwise when the court calms down Han Shantong and the heavenly soldiers return to Sichuan, we just want to take refuge in the court, I'm afraid the court won't want it." Xiang Yan couldn't get used to Yang Han's pride, and poured cold water and said: "Senior Brother Yang, if the court pretends to accept us for refuge, and then takes the opportunity to kill us, what should we do?" ”
Yang Han said with a smile: "I'm worried about my junior brother." Since ancient times, those who have been killed in pits have either surrendered troops or captured prisoners. But we are neither surrenders nor prisoners. Now that the court has set out to recruit soldiers, we responded to the call of the court and actively joined the army, there is no merit, what is the court doing to kill us? Xiang Yan said: "Senior Brother Yang is reasonable. But I'm still a little worried, so I won't go to the court camp. ”
Yang Han agreed: "Okay, if you don't go, you won't go." However, I still have something to ask Senior Sister Zhou and Senior Brother Xiang to help with. Xiang Yan said cautiously: "I wonder if Senior Brother Yang has anything to ask us to help with?" Yang Han said: "In addition to me, there are twelve juniors in Sichuan Province who are organizing the righteous army or supervising the rebel army, I hope that Senior Sister Zhou and Senior Brother Xiang can invite those twelve junior brothers to come over, so that we can work together for the court." ”
Xiang Yan suddenly realized: "It turns out that Yang Han deceived us for the purpose of the righteous army led by other senior brothers. If he only had 5,000 men in his own department, the Tartars might not have taken much of him. But if he can annex the rebel armies organized by other senior brothers, his subordinates will expand to more than 30,000 people, and then he will become a force to be reckoned with in Sichuan, and his future will be much better. It's just that with his prestige and status in Emei, other senior brothers may not pay attention to him. But if it is Zhou Zhiruo, the heir to the head of Emei, who personally lobbied and persuaded him, he thought that other senior brothers would give face to consider. ”
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Other senior brothers may not be willing to take refuge in the court. Yang Han said: "If they don't take refuge in the court, can they be the emperor themselves?" Both horizontally and vertically are courtiers for others, and for whom are they courtiers not courtiers? The future of following the court is better. Xiang Yan also had to admit: "Well, Senior Brother Yang's words make sense. Today, the power of the court is greater. ”
After Zhou Zhiruo and Xiang Yan agreed to be lobbyists for Yang Han and persuaded other senior brothers to join the court, Yang Han crossed the river to meet Ha Ma Bald and Wan Zhedu with satisfaction. In order to show his sincerity, Yang Han did not bring his entourage and entered the Yuan barracks alone. Zhou Zhiruo and Xiang Yan returned to their residences, and in order to prevent the two of them from eavesdropping on the eyes of the two sent by Yang Han, the two whispered head to head.
Zhou Zhiruo's face was cold, and she said, "Senior Brother Xiang, do you really plan to help Yang Han persuade other senior brothers to take refuge in Tartar?" Xiang Yan categorically denied it and said, "Of course not, I'm lying to him." The generals in the army were all his people, and if I hadn't said that, the two of us wouldn't have been able to get out. Zhou Zhiruo's face softened slightly, and said, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Xiang Yan said: "It's best to kill Yang Han and reason portal." If it doesn't work, we'll try to go back to Emei first, tell Master about the matter here, and ask her to deal with it. In short, you must not pit other senior brothers. Zhou Zhiruo nodded, and said, "Then when are we going to assassinate Yang Han?" Xiang Yan said, "I don't know either." Sister, when do you think it's time to go? Zhou Zhiruo said: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, just tonight!" Xiang Yan was shocked and said, "Is it so fast?" ”
Zhou Zhiruo glanced at Xiang Yan and said, "Is there any problem?" Xiang Yan hesitated: "Yang Han doesn't trust us, and he is very guarded, so it's not easy for us to assassinate him tonight." Zhou Zhiruo asked rhetorically: "Do you think when Yang Han will trust us." When is it easier for us to start? Xiang Yan choked and couldn't speak. Zhou Zhiruo said: "No matter when Yang Han will not trust us, it will be difficult for us to assassinate Yang Han whenever we do." In order to avoid a lot of dreams at night, let's do it tonight! Xiang Yan nodded.
