The Blood Crown

When Yan Sikong found Feng Ye in the yamen, he was discussing matters with several important generals, Yan Sikong walked in unimpeded, and saw Yuan Nanyu, Yuan Shaoxu and Feng Ye's capable men were all there, and Feng Ye Feng Changyue, Feng Jianping's brother-in-law, was the one who escaped from Datong with [-] loyal Feng family troops, saving Feng Ye the capital to make a comeback.

This person is an orphan adopted by Feng Ye's grandfather. He is already in the age of destiny, but he is strong and strong, with an upright and loyal personality. Although the Feng family army is the leader of Feng Ye, Feng Ye respects him very much.

Seeing Yan Sikong, the expressions of several people in the room were rather complicated. Yan Sikong is notorious and well known, but Feng Ye still has an affair with him, which is really shameless.

But other people didn't like Yan Sikong and didn't dare to speak out. Feng Changyue was different. He snorted coldly and said contemptuously, "What's the matter with the son-in-law?"

Yan Sikong was always courteous, he cupped his hands and said, "General Feng, I came to see the Wolf King to discuss something."

"You look for the wolf king, just go back to the mansion and wait, why bother to come here?"

Yuan Nanyu frowned slightly, while Yuan Shaoxu secretly smiled coldly.

Feng Changyue blatantly mocked him for serving Feng Ye's bed, but he didn't change his face, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "I didn't know that the wolf king was discussing matters, so I'll go back first."

"Wait a minute." Feng Ye said, looking around at the crowd, "Today is almost the same, uncle, why don't we go."

Feng Changyue sighed heavily on purpose, and said loudly: "Wolf, you must pay attention to what uncle mentioned to you."

"I see."

Everyone dispersed one by one, Feng Ye supported the case with both hands, staring at Yan Sikong fixedly: "What do you want me to do?"

"What did General Feng mention?"

Feng Ye evaded and said, "You don't need to know."

Yan Sikong didn't ask any more questions, he walked to the front of the case, looked down at the Northwest Global Map: "Aren't you guys discussing the military attack on Chahar?"

"Those savage dogs don't dare to kill my envoys. If I don't beat them, won't I be ridiculed by the world?"

"Chahar can't fight now. They have no place to live, and it's going to be winter again. It's a big taboo for military strategists to go deep into the barren at this time. Moreover, once you mobilize troops, you will be flanked by the court."

"If we can't reach an agreement, we can only fight." Feng Ye said coldly, "Otherwise, it will always be a serious worry to keep them."

"Actually, Chahar and the imperial court may not be less impatient than you. The imperial court promised Chahar to open the mutual market, but the Hetao has been occupied by you, and Chahar is coveting the Hetao, but there is nothing he can do. The imperial court, the promise cannot be fulfilled, and now And being threatened by Neda Khan to pay tribute, at this time, the competition is who can hold his breath."

Feng Ye raised his eyebrows: "How do you know that Neda Khan asked the court for tribute?"

"Not only do I know this, I also know that Chahar asked me to be his envoy by name and name before agreeing to peace talks."

Feng Ye's face suddenly darkened, and his tone was sharp: "Who told you?"

"Even if I live deep in the mountains, I have my own way to get information, not to mention that I am in Datong." Yan Sikong wrote lightly, "Wolf King doesn't need to find out who told me, I already know about you, this is you Why don't you discuss this matter with me?"

Feng Ye turned his hands away, and said coldly: "With your temperament, you will definitely ask to be sent as an envoy."

"Correct."

"Impossible." Feng Ye said decisively, "Don't even think about it, sending you to die for no reason is meaningless."

"If I really want to die, I won't go, but if I go, there will be a slight turning point for this matter."

"Na Dahan knows who you are? He asked me for someone, and that's clearly what the court wanted!" Feng Ye said sharply, "You committed a serious crime of treason, once you fall into their hands, you will be a prince, not to mention a son-in-law." Heads will fall, too."

"Fengye, why do you think Nadahan will hand me over to the imperial court?"

"He wants to exchange you for a tribute from the court."

"You can trade with Nedakhan, and the court can pay tribute to Nedakhan. From this point of view, you are no different from the imperial court." Yan Sikong said calmly, "Which side of Nedakhan's butt should he sit on? Unknown."

"My father killed many people in Chahar back then, but Nedakhan killed my envoy with such an arrogant attitude, do you still think this matter can be discussed?"

"It can be discussed." Yan Sikong said firmly, "First, Nedakhan is afraid that you will hit him. With their stragglers and rogue soldiers, they are not your opponents at all, but the court can't beat them. Even if he promised them a tribute, the current embarrassment of the national treasury basically satisfied his greed, but once the Hetao exchange market opened, the border residents traded freely, which was enough to feed them. Let him understand the pros and cons, and he is likely to defect."

Feng Ye narrowed his eyes: "I'm not as good at speaking as you, but I also know that it's the people at both ends of the head rat that can't predict their behavior, so it's even more dangerous. It's better to wipe out Chahar once and never have any future troubles." .”

Yan Sikong persuaded earnestly: "You can defeat him, but it is impossible to destroy him. Even if you can, it may take five or ten years. Subduing the enemy without fighting is the highest state of the art of war. Even if there is a risk, is there no war? Since it is also dangerous and cannot stop us, why not try it?"

Feng Ye turned his head away: "No."

Yan Sikong said in a loud voice: "Feng Ye, I am sure to persuade Na Dahan. With just one mouth, I can reach thousands of troops."

"I said no!" Feng Ye turned around, his tone was undeniable, "I will never let you take risks."

Yan Sikong's heart suddenly softened, he walked to Feng Ye's side, hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Are you... worried about me?"

Feng Ye's eyes wandered a little, and he said with a sullen face, "Keeping you will be of great use, I won't let you die at the hands of barbarians for nothing."

"I, Yan Sikong, have been walking in the rain of swords and swords for so many years. I have never seen such dangers. How could I die in the hands of barbarians." Yan Sikong raised his head and looked into Feng Ye's eyes, "Feng Ye, let me go Well, I'll be back, and I'll be back with good news."

Feng Ye narrowed his eyes: "Okay, if you really want to go, I'll go with you."

Yan Sikong was startled, and blurted out: "Are you crazy?"

"I think you're crazy." Feng Ye gritted his teeth, "You must die."

"I still have things to do. I don't want to die at all. I dare to go because I have confidence in my heart. If you go, you will be taken over by others!" Yan Sikong suddenly became frightened. Wang Rebellion, he was only 19 years old, he dared to use the most dangerous moves, fought the most vicious battles, used the sword to take the lead, and the soldiers played dangerous moves. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is full of courage. Now that he leads an army of tens of thousands, he should be much calmer. On the surface, he is indeed so, but in his bones, he is still a wolf.

"Who said I'm going to go as the wolf king." Feng Ye snorted softly, "Everyone knows that I have a masked general by my side, who is my right-hand man."

"You...you want to go as Que Wang?"

"Yes, it's not unreasonable for you to insist on going on a mission, but I must go with you. First, you don't know much about Chahar, but I have dealt with the Mongolians for 20 years, and I know their temperament very well. Second, if there is anything, there is no need to go back and forth to Datong to discuss with letters, which is much faster than the court, and third..." Feng Ye looked at Yan Sikong, "With me here, you will be safer."

"No, you are the commander of the three armies, you can't take risks." Yan Sikong said decisively.

Feng Ye raised his eyebrows: "How did you convince me just now? Do you want me to repeat it verbatim?"

Yan Sikong was at a loss for words for a moment, he didn't expect Feng Ye to counter him with his words.

Feng Ye said again: "Nada Khan said in the general text to me that he also agrees with the rules of the people of the Central Plains. The two armies do not behead envoys when they fight. It was my envoy who offended him, so he beheaded him in a rage. In fact, you are the only one involved in the mission this time, and I have an army of tens of thousands in Datong, so he dare not kill us."

Yan Sikong frowned slightly. Apart from the possible danger of Fengye, this was a good plan. The court envoys came to discuss tribute, but the amount of tribute was not up to them to decide. Thousands of miles away and the court Discussing countermeasures will not yield any results within a few months, but they can make a decision immediately, which is much more beneficial than the imperial court.

But he was still worried about Fengye's safety, if something happened to Fengye, everything would be over.

Feng Ye said domineeringly: "If you insist on going, I will go together, otherwise no one will go."

Yan Sikong hesitated for a long time before he said helplessly, "Okay."

Feng Ye stretched out his hand and raised his chin: "You are really sure."

"Have."

"That's good." Feng Ye said, "Tomorrow I will reply to Na Dahan and send you as an envoy to Chahar. In two days, I will pretend to have injured my leg while hunting and rest in the mansion. All affairs in the army will be temporarily suspended. Uncle does it for him”

Yan Sikong took a deep breath. When he was young, he was a wanderer. He traveled all over the country and traveled across half of Dacheng, but he had never been outside the customs. This time, as Feng Ye said, there are many dangers. If the negotiation fails in the end , Nada Khan will definitely hand him over to the court to ask for credit.

Although there is no real evidence in the court now, rumors are flying everywhere. If there is no Princess Wanyang, he would have been dismissed by the court and ransacked his home. Fortunately, his only "relative" is just a baby girl in swaddling clothes, and she is also a princess. It was used to threaten him, so what the court wanted must be himself and his head.

However, as long as Chahar can be captured, Fengye will march into the Central Plains in a short time. When they arrive at the capital with tens of millions of troops, who would dare to accuse Yan Sikong of being alone?

-

Feng Ye went to start preparations, and Yan Sikong also carefully studied the tribal relationship of the Chahar Tribe and the correspondence between Nada Khan and Feng Ye, in order to make sufficient preparations.

A few days later, Feng Ye took his men and horses to hunt in the mountains. Hunting is his biggest hobby on weekdays, and he would go there every now and then, but this time, the wolf king, who is skilled in bow and horse, "accidentally" fell off his horse and broke a leg. After being diagnosed by a doctor, he must at least stay in bed during the day, and he is not allowed to walk around at will.

At this time, Shen Hexuan and Feng Xiang were finally escorted to Datong and imprisoned in a prison in Datong. After Yan Sikong got the news, without any delay, he ordered someone to prepare good food and wine on the same day to see Shen Hexuan.
