Chapter 495: Adventurous Spirit
Wu Nian and all the civil and military forces had some guesses, and after listening to Zhao Yanting's words, they were all unfazed.
Feng Chong sneered on his face and continued to look at Zhao Yanting with extremely aggressive eyes. The rest of the civil and military officers all looked up at Wu Nian to see what the general said.
Wu Nian said politely: "I believe that you have the ability to open the city gate for me." But why should I believe that you are genuinely helping me? ”
Zhao Yanting had already prepared, and calmly clenched his fists and said: "I came rashly, it is normal for the general not to trust me. So you have to have a vote. ”
After a pause, Zhao Yanting said in a surprising voice: "I brought my mother, my sister-in-law, and my concubine, and put them here as hostages for the general." ”
Wu Nian and everyone were silent for a while. Feng Chong's face showed a look of astonishment, this kid can really afford it.
"Won't you have a problem doing this?" Wu Nian narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"There won't be a problem anytime soon." Zhao Yanting was very confident and replied calmly.
Wu Nian's body leaned forward slightly, put his right hand on the armrest, and lowered his head in thought.
This guy is really not an idle person, and he has already judged me categorically, and he will send troops soon.
"Why are you helping me. Now the Mengyuan people are still very powerful, and you are a centurion. No. According to your energy and courage, you should soon be able to become a thousand-commander, or even ten thousand households. ”
Wu Nian raised his head and asked in a condensed voice.
"Because I'm Han." Zhao Yanting did not hesitate, and said loudly.
"Hmm." Wu Nian's face showed a look of satisfaction, and he nodded slightly. But in his heart, he didn't believe it very much.
"Also. I have a request. Zhao Yanting looked at Wu Nian's face and said a little cautiously.
"Say." Wu Nian's eyes flashed and said.
"If the general invades Yun County, please don't kill the Han commander. I can convince them to defend the city for the general. ”
Zhao Yanting showed sincerity, and his tone was pleading.
The civil and military people set their eyes on Wu Nian again, and they didn't know if Wu Nian would agree.
Their team takes Wu Nian as the banner. Wu Nian's willpower implements everyone from top to bottom.
Every time Wu Nian captured a city, he had to kill the Han people, thousands of commanders, county commanders, and county officials, which was already a common practice.
Can Wu Nian change it for Yun County?
"Hahahaha." Wu Nian suddenly laughed, his laughter was fierce and full of murderous aura.
All the civil and military officers lowered their heads and thought to themselves. "Can't you?"
Zhao Yanting frowned, Wu Nian didn't agree? This was really unexpected. This matter definitely outweighs the disadvantages.
If Wu Nian uses a small number of troops, he will attack Yun County. Then with his energy, he persuaded the Han people to help Wu Nian defend the city.
Wu Nian led the main force to attack Yingqing Pass and capture the remaining Chong County and Ya County, which would be much easier.
Is it necessary to care about whether the thief is a thief or not?
Wu Nian suddenly restrained his laughter, sat upright, and his eyes were bright and compelling. Word by word: "I don't forgive the thief, never." ”
"But. If they can turn around, help me capture Yun County. Let my soldiers die less. I can promise to spare their lives. ”
Wu Nian is a stubborn person, but he is not inflexible.
If you can make it easier for yourself to conquer the city, you will die fewer soldiers. It's not impossible to change the convention.
But the thief.
He will never forgive, he can only spare a dog's life.
"Whew!" At this moment, most people, including Zhao Yanting, exhaled.
"That's it." Zhao Yanting thought that there was no hope, but the sun suddenly rose, and his face suddenly showed joy.
After that, Zhao Yanting explained some questions and turned around and left. And Zhao Yanting's mother, a sister-in-law, and two concubine sons were all secretly left.
Seemingly, things have been settled.
Just wait for the autumn harvest to send troops to attack Yingqing Mansion.
But.
"General. I think this man has a backbone in the back of his head. Can't trust him easily. Liu Zhixing raised his right hand and gently pinched his beard, revealing a look of suspicion.
All the civil and military forces were not surprised, and they were more or less suspicious.
"How?" Wu Nian smiled and asked calmly.
"First. Zhao Yanting's mother and son have to send someone to investigate. It's not true. ”
"Second. If it's true. Zhao Yanting sent his son over, and it was okay to say. Send the old mother, he is not filial. How can an unfilial person have loyalty? ”
"Third. He said. He's for Yan Han. Then why did he not surrender before. What about surrendering now? I see him as a grass that grows on the wall, and the wind blows on both sides. ”
When Liu Zhixing said this, the expression on his face became more and more solemn.
Feng Chong laughed and said directly: "He may want to exchange his mother and son for his own glory and wealth." ”
"If he defeats General Fuhan, he will be a great hero of the Mengyuan people. Any old mother and son can be abandoned. ”
The rest of the civil and military were silent, but the aura of suspicion permeated the hall and prevailed.
Zhixing is right. He may be a wall-to-wall grass, or he may be an unfilial son, who can sacrifice his mother and son, dig a trap for me, and wait for me to jump. ”
"In short, he is definitely not a person for the sake of Yan Han."
"But. I'm going to take a gamble too. ”
Wu Nian shook his head, stood up steadily with both hands on the armrests of the Taishi chair, and said to everyone cleanly: "How can you be 100% sure of a war." ”
"If I can easily obtain Yunxian, I can attack Ying Qingguan on both sides. swept the entire Yingqing Mansion. ”
"It's a fighter."
"Won, full of money. There's no way to lose. ”
"But there is a real need to distinguish between the real and the fake. Home is expensive. You send someone to Yun County to investigate Zhao Yanting's mother and son, and collect information on their appearance. ”
"At the same time. Arrange for people to go to the hostages in our hands to talk about it. ”
"Before you send troops, you must be sure. The hostages in our hands are not real. ”
"If the hostages are real. Then I choose to believe Zhao Yanting. ”
Chen Jiagui stood up, bent down and clenched his fists and said, "Yes." ”
Including Liu Zhixing, all the civil and military forces were also silent. Doubt or doubt. But since this is Wu Nian's decision, then they support it to the end.
"So. Let's just assume first. Zhao Yanting really wants to open the city gate for me. Let's talk about who will send troops and who will stay behind. ”
"After all, the other 10,000 households are not scarecrows. We hit Puguli. Hou Wancheng, Jin Ruiyun, and Wan Yanxian, the three generals of ten thousand households, will definitely send troops to attack us, or support Puguli. ”
Wu Nian nodded, then walked to the door and ordered his soldiers to bring maps and desks. The crowd gathered around their desks and discussed the route of the troops.
