Straight man of steel

Chapter 142

Zhang Yuan followed Tang Meng all the way to the corner of the post house, where normally even the servants in the post house would not come.

Seeing that there was no one around, Tang Meng stopped here.

"Zhang Xingren probably already knows what I want from you."

Hearing what Tang Meng said, Zhang Yuan touched his nose.

This is embarrassing, he really doesn't know.

"General Lang has something to say to me, just say it directly."

"I came here because of what Zhang Xingren said to Marquis Yelang this morning."

Seeing that Tang Meng was not up to the trick, Zhang Yuan could only follow him.

"It shouldn't be the Lieutenant General's turn to take care of what the officials of the mission do."

The smile on Tang Meng's face became wider because of Zhang Yuan's words. This is how he is. The more hostile a person is to him, the happier he is.

Enemies on the surface are always much stronger than those in the dark.

"I really can't control too much, so I came here just to persuade Zhang Xingren, anyway, after Zhang Xingren leaves, this Southwest Yi has nothing to do with you, and I still want to stay here.

I can't let you get all the relationships around you out of control. The enemy of the big man is the Xiongnu, not Yelang.

His Majesty can regard Yelang as a treasury, but he cannot treat Yelang as an enemy.

To get the money out of the vault, we just need to fix the roads.

But there is an extra enemy, not only to build roads, but also to send out a large army, recruiting civilians several times the size of the army, and emptying the grain warehouses in the three counties of Bashu. Is this what Zhang Xingren wants to see?

If you want to see this scene, why did you have to appease the people of Bashu before? Doesn’t it appear that the court has no credibility? "

What Tang Meng said could not make Zhang Yuan change his mind so easily, because he and Jifu had already determined what Tang Meng and Duotong's purpose was, but they didn't know the method to achieve it for the time being.

Adopting a soft policy towards any country on the border may lead to the people on the border frequently falling into the flames of war.

That price is far greater than addressing the hidden danger earlier.

"It goes without saying, Lieutenant General, I believe that others don't know the strength of Yelang Kingdom, how can you not know it?
There are only 20 people in their country, and there are 10 young and middle-aged men who can take up arms. This is what Duotong calls [-] elite soldiers.

Even if these 10 people are equipped with the same equipment as the palace guards in that palace, I will not make false claims to attack Yelang.

If I lead an army, I can kill Yelang with only a thousand soldiers. Why do I need to bring a large number of slaves, recruit a large number of civilians, and eat food and other things from the enemy? Do you still need me to teach you? "

Zhang Yuan's tone was so domineering that Tang Meng only thought he was bragging.

This is also the reason why Tang Meng never thought of using fire to attack at all. If Zhuge Liang traveled here, he would scold Tang Meng bloody.

Fighting against the northern nomads for a long time, the generals of the Han Dynasty almost forgot about fire attack.

However, any battle in history has its characteristics that cannot be copied. Although the most important thing that determines the direction of a battle is military strength, there are actually many details. If these details do not exist, there will be no weak points. Shengqiang example.

"Since Zhang Xingren is so tough, I can't persuade you anymore.

It's just that if you think about it, it's not the common people who will suffer if there is a war, and the interests of many nobles will be cut off.

If you can make a concession, I will give you a share from my share, do you think this is okay? "

Enough is enough for Zhang Yuan, intimidation has changed to lure, Tang Meng's methods are limited to this, which makes Zhang Yuan feel a strong sense of frustration.

Such a person's plan made him think hard for a few days, but he couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.

Is it possible that the human brain has evolved for thousands of years and has not changed at all?
"Lieutenant General Lang, I'm not afraid to tell you now. Huang Changshi in your army was originally a merchant, a member of the Huang clan, right?"

Tang Meng's pupils shrank slightly, and he didn't answer for the time being. He nodded after serious consideration.

"The interest chain with all the nobles in the court is also connected with the Huang clan."

"good."

At this moment, Zhang Yuan suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

"Then why when I asked Huang Changshi just now, he said he didn't know about it?

Doctor general, if you dare to fill your own pocket, you are not afraid that the nobles in the court will abolish you immediately? "

Originally, Tang Meng, who wanted to scare him, told the truth, but even with such a move, Tang Meng still maintained his composure.

"You are not with us. Huang Changshi won't tell you. He told you that he has only one way to die."

After staying in Berkshire for a whole winter, Tang Meng firmly believed that Zhang Yuan was not one of his own, otherwise he would not have made things difficult for Yelang Kingdom.

"Speaking of which, I can be regarded as a student of the prime minister, why do you think he will not tell me?
Don't you realize that all the way, Mr. Jifu is closer to me than to you? "

After several years of farming in Lantian County, he almost forgot about everything in the court, Zhang Yuan existed.

They have also forgotten that Zhang Yuan's initial position as Langguan was awarded to him by Liu Che after Tian Fu recommended him.

Just mentioning that Zhang Yuan is Tian Fu's sect, Tang Meng didn't believe it, he didn't believe that Zhang Yuan would go against Tian Fu.

But if Jifu is involved in this, the credibility will be greatly improved.

"It turns out that Zhang Xingren is a member of the noble family, disrespectful and disrespectful, there was some collision before, and I hope that Master Zhang Xingren will have a lot."

Tang Meng bowed to Zhang Yuan like this, and he didn't know whether it was sincere or fake, but Zhang Yuan felt that Tang Meng was afraid of Tian Fu deep down in his heart.

Basically, there are no easy people to get along with in the big man, Zhang Yuan used to be, but now he is not.

"You did all these things without telling Junhou. Do you know what will happen to you after Junhou finds out?
While there is still some chance, confess as soon as possible and stop interfering in the affairs of the Southwest Yi, that is your way of survival. "

Tang Meng's head trembled slightly, and his heart seemed to be shaking, but he still didn't make a sound.

As far as Zhang Yuan has not stated what he has done, it is very likely that Zhang Yuan does not know at all.

Now Zhang Yuan's heart is also full of fifteen barrels of water. He has been lying to Tang Meng, but Tang Meng just won't let go.

"The last general did not do anything to offend the Lord, nor did he do anything to offend His Majesty.

As for what will be done at the end, Zhang Xingren cannot be informed yet.

The final general still hopes that you will not push too hard on Marquis Yelang. If Marquis Yelang revolts violently, although Yelang Kingdom will surely be defeated, the anger of those nobles in the court is not something you can bear.

Furthermore, the person involved in this is not the prime minister alone, there are bigger figures behind him. "

When he said this, Tang Meng raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yuan, and his gloomy eyes were directly engraved in Zhang Yuan's heart.
