Chapter 6: The Alliance Under the City
"What! Haotian took Shilan City! and killed Shi Jian!" Wang Ding was furious when he was shooting the book case in the study, and the pile of music on it jumped.
The soldier took out a brown and yellow-faced letter from his bosom and handed it over: "This is their letter, saying that it will be handed over to the emperor." ”
Wang Ding heard this, and was about to reach out to take it.
"Be careful!" the shadow rushed in from outside the door, caught it from the side, and said cautiously, "Haotian's letter is still more careful. ”
The king fixed his head, a little comforted in his heart, and his anger decreased slightly, and he waved at the soldier: "You can retreat and rest." ”
The shadow took the letter and looked at it carefully, only a few words were written on the front of the letter, and there was nothing else unusual. Then he took a step back, a little farther away from Wang Dingshu's case, and gently pulled out a white letter from the envelope, with some black pen and ink on it.
The shadow raised his eyes and saw Wang Ding frowning, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the old slave is cheap, let the old slave read it to you." ”
Wang Ding waved his hand and sat down slowly in the chair.
The shadow unfolded the origami, adjusted the direction, and read: "Haotian Wang Ding, I, Zhang Wenwu, the guard of Haotian Hulan City, secretly sold information I don't know how much, recently fled to Shilan City, and was decisively killed by our army. In order to highlight the goodness of Haotian and Jinyuan, please let Jin Yuan give up the three cities of Shilan, Guyuan and Shiyuan in the northwest border, and cooperate with me Haotian to catch traitors. Otherwise, I, Haotian, can only send troops to clean up the spies to show my determination to eliminate the thieves!"
Wang Ding's face was very exciting, first relaxed, then expressionless, and then iron blue, dark clouds. His fists were so clenched that his knuckles turned white and crackled. A sentence burst out between his teeth: "Haotian, it's too much to deceive people!"
He hated Jin Yuan for being too weak and Haotian being too shameless. In the current situation of Haotian's strong army, all his plans are pale and powerless.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" the shadow bowed and persuaded, "The Jin Yuan country is weak, so forbearance is the best!"
"Forbearance?" Wang Ding sneered, "Okay, I'll bear with it! Haotian isn't it just for the sake of the trade! Just let it pass and see what tricks can be made!"
The shadow was silent, and Haotian fought Shilan's move. It's clear that he's looking for scum.
Wang Ding thought for a long time. The anger on his face was suppressed: "Chuan Wei is coming!"
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, the shadow said, "The old slave retired first." After speaking, without waiting for the king's approval, he dodged away.
"Old man is not dead!" Wang Ding snorted softly.
Wang Ding sat in a daze for a long time. A rich old man in a sky blue brocade robe trotted in: "Your Majesty." Emperor. Wei Tong arrived. I don't know what the emperor commands?"
Wang Ding returned to his soul and looked intently at the person in front of him who was wearing a crown adorned with beads and gold flash earrings in his ears. Wei Tong, who was full of spring joy and was dressed in jewels, nodded and praised secretly, worthy of being a rich businessman!
He suddenly grimaced: "Wei Tong doesn't worship when he sees me!
Wei Tong bowed to the ground in response, looked up with a smile on his face, and said: "The emperor is magnanimous, regardless of Wei Tong's nervousness. ”
Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling man, Wang fixed his head: "Well, get up." ”
Wei Tong got up with a bone: "I don't know what the emperor is looking for Wei Tong?"
Wang Ding said: "What I want you to do is very difficult, you have to be mentally prepared. ”
"The emperor has an order, Wei Tong will do his best to complete it!" Wei Tong's face was full of determination.
Wang Ding closed his eyes, opened them suddenly, and burst out with a piercing light: "I want to copy your net worth and ask for your head!"
Wei Tong trembled, and then still smiled, full of calmness: "If the emperor wants to take it." ”
"Okay, it's really bold enough!" Wang Ding boasted, "I called you here to let you go and talk to Haotian about business!" He finally stopped scaring Wei Tong and went straight to the point.
Wei Tong listened and breathed a sigh of relief, although he knew that he was scared, he would also be afraid.
Subsequently, Wang Ding made a strategic explanation to Wei Tong on matters related to trade. Wei Tong came happily and left with great joy.
Two days later, in the afternoon, Wei Tong led hundreds of soldiers, drove ten heavy carriages, and slowly came to the outside of Shilan City.
Looking at the soldiers in green clothes and carrying new weapons on the gray and black high wall a hundred meters away, Wei Tong was about to sigh when he sighed about the changes in the world, and a loud shout came from the city wall: "Stop!"
The soldiers on the walls put their weapons on their backs on the battlements, which would reward them with a few bullets at the slightest move.
The carriage came to a halt with a squeak, and Wei Tong jumped out of one of them, still dressed in the same gorgeous outfit. He walked up to his horse and shouted to the city: "Hey, brothers in the city! I am a messenger sent by Jin Yuan to discuss with Haotian!
"Stand still, don't move, I'll pass it on!" shouted on the city wall.
Wei Tong waited for a long time before the city cave slowly opened from the inside.
"Come in. A cold word came from the city gate.
Wei Tong grinned and gestured back, and the convoy slowly drove towards the city gate.
After entering the city gate, there was a school barracks, Wei Tong came to Shilan for the first time, he looked around, only to see a few soldiers patrolling.
Sun Ming led two soldiers to greet him from the barracks on the right side of the school barracks, and arched his hand: "Hehe, I finally looked forward to you." My name is Sun Ming, and I am the general here. ”
Wei Tong smiled and said as he walked: "I have admired the name for a long time! I am Wei Tong, a wealthy merchant of the Jin Yuan! I have seen the general!" After speaking, he bowed down.
"Oh, why did Jin Yuan send you a rich merchant over?" Sun Ming was a little surprised.
Wei Tong continued: "Let the general see and laugh." Wei Tongcheng Emperor could afford it and sent me over to discuss trade with Haotian. After speaking, he began to peek at Sun Ming.
Sun Ming narrowed his eyes and stared at Wei Tong: "I'm here to catch Haotian traitors, but I'm not talking about business, you're looking for the wrong person!"
Wei Tong didn't care about Sun Ming's rebuke, he still smiled and said: "Oh, that's my Wei Tong's slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, please forgive me!"
"Hmph, forget it. Sun Ming wrinkled his nose, "Then it's okay, you can go back." ”
"Ah, no, General, there's something else going on with Wei Tong. Wei Tong took a step forward and said, "General, this time Wei Tong came to redeem those soldiers of Jin Yuan with 20,000 taels of gold. ”
Sun Ming frowned.
Wei Tong didn't wait for Sun Ming to speak, and then said: "You see that these Jin Yuan soldiers have to eat and drink here, and they still occupy a place to live, which adds a lot of burden to you." Why don't you just let me take it back? ”
"You seem to have a point. Sun Ming pretended to think for a moment, "Okay, let's bring it back for you, staying here is really in the way." For the sake of gold, go in and drink a glass of water. ”
After speaking, Sun Ming turned around and walked back. Wei Tong nodded and followed behind Sun Ming.
The ten cars were inspected by Haotian's soldiers.
Inside the barracks, there were only six chairs with backrests around a small oval table. The sun shone in through the window, and it was bright.
Sun Ming sat casually in the middle of the table: "Sit down." Soldier tea!"
Wei Tong sat down with a smile on his face: "Hehe, General Xie Lu Xie!"
"Come, have tea. Sun Ming drank the tea very coldly.
Wei Tong held the cup of tea in both hands and said with a smile: "General Sun, look, can I bring some people here to buy Haotian's items?"
Seeing that Sun Ming was about to stop drinking, Wei Tong hurriedly whispered: "The Emperor Gu Yuan and Shi Yuan have issued a strict order, and they will definitely kill Haotian's hidden spies. This Shilan City will be given to Haotian as a place for the two countries to trade, and in addition, you will be compensated with 100,000 taels of gold, and the general will give Emperor Haotian a few words. What do you think?"
"I'm that kind of person. Sun Ming raised his voice and glanced outside the door, the soldiers were not there, thinking that they were pulled aside by Wei Tong's men.
There are really some means, Sun Ming snorted secretly.
"The general is selfless, for the sake of the people of the world, and he doesn't want the two countries to fight and kill and wound innocents. Wei Tong put on a top hat at the right time.
"Hmm. Sun Ming nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Take it." ”
Wei Tong smiled, took out a stack of bills from his arms and put them in Sun Ming's hand: "General, this is a royal bill common to the Jin and Yuan Dynasties, and gold and silver can be withdrawn in all cities of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. ”
Sun Ming flipped through it a few times, looked at each one with 10,000 taels of gold written on it, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, be more conspicuous in the future, and don't mess with me. Sun Ming said proudly, "I'll take care of the rest." . Sun Ming waved his hand.
Wei Tong got up and thanked him repeatedly, and then retreated.
When the sun went down, Wei Tong happily took the more than 20,000 Jin Yuan soldiers to the territory of Jin Yuan. For him, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem. Moreover, he has successfully completed the task assigned by Wang Ding.
Sun Ming basked in the red sun on the city wall, smiling as he watched the Jin Yuan soldiers disappear around the bend of the valley. Subsequently, he ordered to take out 5,000 taels of gold to reward the whole army, one tael per person! Shi Lan Haotian's soldiers' morale was greatly shaken! (To be continued......
