Minister
Chapter 20
19【Six Years of Jiankang】
In the early morning of the second day, the fog dissipated completely, and when we looked up, we could see the eagle hovering over the mountain.The scenery in front of me is different from before. Although it is still a ravine, it has been opened up a lot, the weeds on the ground are more lush, and there are fewer dwarf trees.
"Here, that's Wa'ena." Du Qihuan pointed to Wei Chi with a whip.
It's only half a day away!Xu Yue, who has always been full of confidence, dare not march in the fog?It seems that this mountain top two is quite weird... Wei Chi packs up and prepares for battle.
The sergeants of the rear army pulled out the battalion first. After all, they hadn't entered Wa'ena yet. It wouldn't be fun if they were attacked by some tribe.When the sun rose quite high, the entire army was lined up.This time, except for Xu Lang's team, all the infantry and cavalry were at the rear, and the carts were all placed in the front row.Wei Chi saw Lu Shengduo from a distance. He was in charge of the grain truck, so he was also at the front of the queue.Wei Chi was also in charge of the military camp, but now he has entrusted full authority to a boss whom he has never seen before. I heard that he is another deputy commander of the rear army——Kui Siqi's subordinate, named Xue Zhu .It seemed that he was not much older than himself, and he was also gentle and gentle. Although Du Qihuan took him to deliver, the man seemed to recognize Wei Chi, and when he saw Wei Chi looking this way, he nodded with a smile.
Wei Chi also nodded and returned the gift, thinking that the acquaintances had seen the same... only Hu Yanglin and Tang He were about to ask, but saw Mr. Hu Qian dragging Tang He to report.I haven't seen him for a few days, but Populus euphratica's beard has grown deeper, and he looks tired... Tang He behind him has dark eyes and a sad face.Wei Chi greeted Populus euphratica, walked up to Tang He, and issued discipline and assigned tasks in a very serious tone as a leader.Tang He quickly complied, and as soon as Wei Chi finished speaking, he grabbed the reins and slipped away.
"You can be my guard, so that I can have someone to help me." Wei Chi poked Populus euphratica who was giggling.
"Yes!" Populus euphratica puffed out his chest in a serious manner.
Seeing that he really went to Wa'e Na, Saul Hahan became curious. What kind of idea did this old ghost Wang Yunyi have in mind to get such a large group of people and things past Wa'e Na?Haha, I really have to wait and see.
The school lieutenant named Yin Jianqiu next to him looked well-trained and didn't say a word, but he did follow Wang Yunyi's instructions and gave him the treatment of a distinguished guest.
"Can I ride a horse?" Saul Hahan stroked the broken hair by his ear, now the shackles are gone, free and carefree.
"As the girl wishes, but since the girl doesn't want to reveal her identity, I hope that the girl will stay closer to General Wang's guards. If she runs away, it will be difficult to explain." Yin Jianqiu gently suggested.
"What Lieutenant Yin said is true." Saul Hahan pointed to the group of horses behind Yin Jianqiu: "Give me that black horse."
Yin Jianqiu smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, and walked over to lead the horse.But the little schoolboy who led the horse refused: "Why should Mr. Yin give up his own horse to that female prisoner? What right does she have to be rampant? Why don't you let her choose another horse?"
This small school is about the same age as Wei Chi, and is Yin Jianqiu's personal bodyguard.Yin Jianqiu ignored him, just smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then took the horse and handed it to Saul Hahan respectfully: "Miss Qi Qige, be careful."
Saul Hahan nodded, turned over and got on the horse.Ah!It really is a good horse!With a light whip, the black horse leaped forward cleverly and galloped out.
"Drive!" Yin Jianqiu casually pulled a horse and followed.
Running to the edge of Wang Yunyi's personal guard, Saul Hahan reined in his horse, and it seemed that he would be able to enter Wa'ena before noon, and once he entered Wa'ena, he would not be able to bury the pot for food there. , I heard the sound of distributing dry food before Mao this morning, it seems that I have already prepared.
When the army took a step, Saul Hahan followed, and Yin Jianqiu followed quietly, without obstructing him.By noon, they had already entered the mountain pass of Wa'ena, and the pre-order troops had already encountered a shallow ditch.Saul Hahan was curiously waiting to watch the excitement, but unexpectedly the army stopped, and the masters of the gang leader camp began to deliver lunch with food.Yin Jianqiu handed Saul Hahan a portion—beef patties, barley paste soup, which didn’t look like dry food.It seems that Daqi is going to eat, drink, and go all out to pass Wa'ena.It took three days for a group of myself to go into battle lightly, and it took three days to cross this ghostly place. I don't know how efficient this Daqi march is.
Before the soldiers of the Chinese army had finished eating and drinking, they saw that the leading team had already stirred up. The oilcloths on the mysterious caravans had been removed, revealing many strange planks.what is that?Saul Hahan narrowed his eyes, because he was too far away to see clearly.
Wei Chi was among this group of people, and these seemingly inconspicuous planks were one of the most important secret weapons of this Eastern Expedition.Although these are just wooden planks, they are all made of high-quality iron wood, with thick bamboo slices specially pasted on the back, plus the structural structure in between, the cost of each one is more than one tael of silver.These ten carts are about [-] taels of military expenditure, no wonder the Minister of the Household Department is going crazy.
Both ends of these ten-foot-wide and fifteen-foot-long wooden boards are dug with wedges, one end is yin and the other end is yang.There is no thick bamboo nailed on the front of the board, nor is it polished smooth, but two concave grooves six feet apart are dug on both sides. These concave grooves are polished without a single wooden thorn—Du Qihuan called them "" Flow board"
Six feet - exactly the track of the Daqi team's wheels.
Soon, seven "wooden bridges" spliced together by flow boards were built, and the two ends of the wooden bridge were screwed into the inclined boards and wooden nails-so that they could be firmly fixed on the mud floor.
The convoys at the front set off slowly and began to pass the "wooden bridge" one by one.The people who built the bridge were divided into two teams, one team maintained it on the spot, and the other team went down a shallow ditch.
As soon as the first car passed by, the second batch of wooden bridges had already been erected... Repeatedly, it was like driving on a flat road!Saul Hahan pursed his lips tightly.
In fact, this wooden bridge is also a headache.Wei Chi wiped the sweat from his brow, because it is not a whole wood, so the hardness is not satisfactory, hey, in fact, it is a last resort to make it into wood chips, who said that these shallow grooves can be wide or narrow?Moreover, it is also easy to be worn out during splicing. Once half of the running beads are lost, it is difficult to hit them in with a mallet.Calculated, each flow board can only be used five times, and I don't know how many of these top ten cars will be left in the end.Wei Chi, who had a headache, didn't know that Saul Hahan was deeply shocked by these expensive and fragile pieces of wood that made his heart ache.To give Daqi's army time to make such thorough preparations!
As soon as the convoy moved, the cavalry and infantry behind them also slowly moved, but they were not lucky enough to walk on the "wooden bridge", so they could only crawl across the ditch by themselves.Wei Chi's trip was to supervise the soldiers to clean up the used runners, and to maintain the discipline of the infantry so that no one would be left behind in the chaos.
"Tang He..." Wei Chi thought for a while, and called Tang He over.
Tang He hummed, lowered his head and didn't look at him.
Wei Chi sighed, and it seemed that the jokes made a few months ago were a little bigger: "General Tang, I'll leave the infantry and the mopping up to you, you can go..."
Tang He quickly responded, as long as he is not with you!After doing the arch, he took his brother to the rear army.
Seeing how fast he was running, Wei Chi added angrily, "There must be no mistakes! Otherwise, it will be punished by military law!"
After hearing Wei Chi's gloomy addition, Tang He smiled wryly, and slipped away without daring to look back.
"Master Wei, rectifying military discipline won't require so many people..." Hu Yanglin kindly reminded Wei Chi.In fact, General Wang only sent himself and Tang He. He was just a small chief executive with only a few dozen people under his command. Now that Tang He is gone, most of them are gone.
Wei Chi shook his head, Tang He wouldn't be obedient, so it's better to leave than to make trouble.It's just that every piece of this flow board has to be recorded, so I can only work hard on myself.
Saul Hahan raised his finger and pointed there: "Captain Yin, who is that?"
"That's the commissioned guard to join the leadership, Mr. Wei." Yin Jianqiu glanced at it.
"It's not about him, I was brought back by him, how could I not recognize him?" Saul Hahan raised his eyes in disdain: "I'm talking about the man on the black horse next to him."
"That?" Yin Jianqiu thought for a moment, "That seems to be Mr. Qian under him, whose surname is Hu."
"Oh..." Saul Hahan responded lightly.
That person surnamed Wei is very popular, and the boss around him wiped his sweat and stabilized his horse, so he wished he could hold an umbrella to cover him from the sun... That person surnamed Wei laughed quite happily. Yes, it turns out that this stinky girl can do other things besides sneering and smirking... Hmph, Saul Hahan swung the whip in his hand, originally thought that she would only show her face to scare people.
Saul Hahan pointed to the two talking and laughing: "Your Wei Counselor is quite...delicate, huh?"
Yin Jianqiu froze for a moment: "Miss, you are joking, Mr. Wei is from the south, and all southerners are more handsome."
Saul Hahan thinks these soldiers are a bunch of idiots!No!The entire Daqi court is an idiot!She was actually fooled by this stinky girl... She is obviously a woman, with such narrow shoulders, such a thin waist, and a butt... Ahem, I can't tell because her clothes are loose, but is there any doubt about her voice? ?The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, so I decided to play a trick.
"He talks...and is quite delicate." After speaking, he stared at Yin Jianqiu harmlessly.
"All southerners are like this." Yin Jianqiu pointed to himself: "The lower official is also a southerner, and his voice is quite soft." That delicateness means thinness, right?Yin Jianqiu thought to himself, since he is from Shijiang Town, his hometown dialect has a bit of softness.Mr. Wei is from the middle of Shu, and the middle of Shu is also a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and it is okay to speak softly. It seems that the women in this desert are used to the rough folk customs, and they look down on the voice of the south of the Yangtze River.
"Miss, you can imagine how big the country of Qi is, not a girl." Yin Jianqiu cupped his hands, "The north and the south are different from the east and the west. Although Mr. Wei is elegant, he is not lacking in masculinity. If he has no skills, how can he be entrusted with an important position by General Wang?" ?”
Hearing Yin Jianqiu's ostentatious tone, Saul Hahan felt a little displeased, but the arrogance of the Central Plains people has a long history, if he is angry, he will really let down his own knowledge.Hearing the words behind, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. I don't know what the men in Daqi Jiangnan look like, and let the stinky girl pretend to be in it, and it's fine if she doesn't get questioned. I just worried about my badness in vain just now, whether it made me a little too much.Looking up at the Jiangnan man in front of him, he doesn't seem to have a 'good-looking face', but he is shorter than those northern soldiers and fair-skinned. It seems that this group of Daqi people are idiots from the emperor to the soldiers, and they were killed by Wei Chi. I've been fooled around... I was smiling secretly, but then I thought, if I didn't happen to touch her floating veins, I wouldn't have guessed it, so I didn't get myself into it! ?
Damn stinky girl!Saul Hahan flicked his whip: "Let's go, I want to go back to the car and rest."
Yin Jianqiu saw that Her Majesty's moodiness was really difficult to serve, so he didn't ask much, but followed obediently.
At night, Wang Yunyi questioned, and Yin Jianqiu reported the truth.
"This princess didn't hide it, she went straight to see Driftwood, it's interesting, it's really interesting!"
"General Wang, this driftwood is more or less related to military aircraft, and my subordinates think that we should be more on guard." In fact, Yin Jianqiu wanted to stop it today, but Wang Yunyi had to let it go because of an order before.
"It's okay," Wang Yunyi stroked his beard: "This driftwood can only be used once, and if it can prevent her, it will not be able to prevent the world. Although it is specially managed by capable people, it can only be hidden for a while. This The princess will not leave now, and when she needs to leave, everything she saw today will be useless. Does she have any other actions?"
"Report to General, no more." Yin Jianqiu bowed respectfully, and was about to leave, but remembered something: "She asked me about Wei Canling, and also asked about the chief executive under Wei Canling."
"Oh?" Wang Yunyi was curious: "What did she ask?"
"She said..." Yin Jianqiu thought for a while, "She said Wei Counselor was a bit delicate."
Oh, yes, according to Xu Yue's temper, this woman would definitely not stay, and Xu Yue must have listened to Wei Chi's words to bring her back that day.That Princess Monan is eighteen years old. Although she is older than Wei Chi, she is still the same age...
Seeing Wang Yunyi's smirk, Yin Jianqiu quickly explained: "What the princess means... Mrs. Wei is a bit feminine, and there seems to be disdain in her words." After thinking about it, she added: "She also said that the lower officials are somewhat feminine. I am angry, presumably these barbarians are not used to it..."
Wang Yunyi's smirk froze on his face, and he couldn't help sighing secretly, Wei Chi, Wei Chi, you are kind of saving that woman's life, and you are also young and handsome, so it stands to reason that you can charm that woman for a while ...Why is it so useless?Looking at Yin Jianqiu's aggrieved and angry face, I was so angry that you still have the guts to complain!You are useless too!Wei Chi is only seventeen, and he's from the south. He's good-looking... just a bit more feminine. You're 26 anyway...
Wang Yunyi, who is omnipotent in wars, feels a little regretful. It seems that those wits and beauties in the drama are just farts...
When Yin Jianqiu saw Wang Yunyi's regretful face, he felt a chill in his neck.
Saul Hahan sat alone in the dark carriage, thinking about the current situation in his mind, completely unaware that Wang Yunyi, an old fox, wanted to use Wei Chi to use a "beauty trick" so that she would not love Jiang Shanai The "beauty" handed over to Monan.
Wei Chi squinted his eyes to check Liumu's serial number under the dim light of the lantern, never expecting that a man like Yin Jianqiu could consciously put himself in the same category as him...
Hu Yanglin held a lantern and secretly helped Wei Chi block the wind. He silently complained in his heart that General Tang was so angry that Master Wei couldn't have a smooth dinner. A corner is used to think about him.
"Crack!" The branch in Saul Hahan's hand was broken, why can't he calm down today?That stinky girl's smile matched the corners of her mouth quite well, but the silly little soldier next to her was quite annoying...
"Ah Qiu!" Hu Yanglin sneezed.
The moon hung like a hook in the sky, the night wind in the valley screamed ghostly, Chen Hu hid in the tent and shivered...Master Wei, come back soon... This howling of ghosts and wolves is so scary.
"How long does it take to get out of this valley?" Du Qihuan sat leisurely on the grain cart and lit a pipe.
"Five days soon," Xu Yue snatched his booklet: "This is food, are you looking for death?"
"I don't know what happened to Qiao Qianfeng and the others." Du Qihuan couldn't smoke, so he could only put his face on the sack angrily and rubbed his face desperately: "I wonder if there are any cigarettes?"
Xu Yue gave him a sideways glance: "Looking at you like that, you are getting more and more hopeless. Although you and Wei Chi have worked hard, compared to Qiao Yunsheng, they are really ordinary. He will have a narrow escape..."
Du Qihuan turned over and looked at the moon in the sky: "If there is no war one day, what are you doing?"
"Go home and hold my grandson." Xu Yue lightly lit the cigarette and took a puff: "I have long wanted to go home and hold my grandson."
Du Qihuan saw Xu Yue twitching on his own, furious, and stretched out his hand to grab it.Unexpectedly, Xu Yue waved his old fist at him, thinking of his ribs, he had been bullied for many years and couldn't stand up, so he had to let go after grabbing twice.
"What about you?" Xu Yue asked back.
"Me?" Du Qihuan helplessly picked a straw and put it in his mouth: "I was born to fight, and if there is no war, I will grow maggots..."
"Are you a cheap brat who has a good life?"
Du Qihuan smiled noncommittally. If he had to choose, he would rather be born decades earlier and follow the late emperor to conquer the north and south... Unlike now, he would spend several years at leisure.
"I'm that kind of person. If there is no war, I will find a war to fight."
Xu Yue blew a smoke ring: "In short, it's just looking for a fight, right?"
===============================================
20【Six Years of Jiankang】
Except for a few officers, most of the soldiers could only camp in the open air. The ground was so wet that it was difficult to start a fire. When it finally started, the smoke was so thick that no one dared to get close to the campfire. Fortunately, someone distributed ginger soup. Otherwise, no one could Endure for so many days?Wei Chi took a deep breath into the palm of his hand, shook his stiff arm, and walked out of the tent with his shoulders shrunk.Since about a month ago, the pigeons flying over from Chen Ang failed to send any information, and Chen Ang just wrote the word "safe" on that small piece of paper.It seems that this important military affairs cannot be tolerated by the prince.This day, those who are far away from the bird are not shitting, so they can only use the word "Ping An" to express their wishes.Wei Chi took out the small dagger, which was only given away by people who have never been on a battlefield... Stumbled, smiled wryly, and put it back in his pocket.
"Is it cold?" Yang Hulin walked over with a horn lamp.
Wei Chi jumped up and down twice: "It's not cold, it's just that the quilt is uncomfortably wet."
Yang Hulin took the cloak that Chen Hu handed over and put it in Wei Chi's hand: "It's good that we slept, but I don't know what happened to Mr. Qiao..."
Qiao Yunsheng's cavalry only brought dry rations for ten days. These dry rations were carried by horses, and they ran behind the team. They went smoothly in the Ikezhao Mountains. When they came out of the mountain pass, they saw the tower of Duolun City in the distance. I ate dry food for three days.The gift that Wang Yunyi gave that day made the city guard pay a lot of money, but Wang Yunyi underestimated the IQ of Monan Wang, no matter how conceited Monan Wang was, it was impossible for Monan Wang to transfer this famous general at such a critical moment.After beheading Damla and pacifying all parties, Monan King just gave Yan Muliye a lot of gold, silver and jewels, and still left him in this isolated city to work hard.
After Qiao Yunsheng arranged a team, he sent out a scout. As a result, the scout was almost discovered before he could get close to Duo Lun, and turned back without finding anything.Qiao Yunsheng sighed deeply, it was already late at night, one soldier could not hide from the enemy, how could these three thousand cavalry hide from the sky?Although King Monan led the enemy into his throat, he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, but he did not lose the final bottom line. He understood how important this line of defense was to Wulanchabu, and he also understood that as long as the Qi army could not threaten Wulanchabu Bu, no matter how messy the grassland is, he will not be able to shake his position. All he has to do is to defend Wulanchabu, and then watch the Qi army help him with his invincible brother, Wo Tuolei. Take it slow.When the Qi army took Wo Tuolei, he might have only one breath left. As long as he can maintain the strength to drive the Qi army out of the grassland, he will be the hero of the grassland and the savior of the Monan people.
The terrain Duo Lun was in was actually not very dangerous, but his defense gave King Monan and his guards absolute confidence.Many field cavalry were secretly stationed in those hills. If the enemy tried to cross the mountain and cross Duo Lun, they would definitely encounter those cavalry in the dirt enclosure. Once they met, they would not be able to get rid of them. Divided, and finally exhausted.Detour through the city?Qiao Yunsheng dispelled this stupid idea when passing by Duo Lun more than ten days ago - this city has cannons, although these cannons are not as good as Da Qi's, they are still enough to deal with the [-] cavalry under his command.And once he fights recklessly, it will definitely arouse Monan Wang's vigilance. If the overall situation is ruined, it will not be a matter of thousands of lives.
Before the expedition, Wang Yunyi once asked Qiao Yunsheng what clever plan he had.
Qiao Yunsheng said two words: "Negotiation."
When you can't fight or hide, you might as well try the civil servant's method. Qiao Yunsheng, who was born as a Jinshi, patted himself on the neck: "We can only negotiate, if we can't..."
"No one will collect your body..." Wang Yunyi's expression was a little gloomy.
The wind began to become a little milder, and it was almost dawn, Qiao Yunsheng was thinking about General Wang's last words.
"Master Qiao, what should we do?" Qiao Yunsheng's boss was a little anxious. If he stayed here until dawn, he would be discovered by the enemy. By then, he would still be a lamb at the mercy of others?
Qiao Yunsheng turned his head and pointed to the box next to his feet, and then pointed to himself: "I will take this box of cotton cloth to meet Yan Muliye, and you take our three thousand cavalry with you, remember what I told you If there is even the slightest mistake, you and I will be lost forever."
Looking at Qiao Yunsheng's calm face, Zhu Bo swallowed hard: "Okay!"
"Okay!" Qiao Yunsheng patted Bo's shoulder appreciatively.
"Report!" A Monan soldier rushed in hastily: "City guard! A group of Qi cavalry is coming to us!"
What?Yan Muliye threw away the oil tea in his hand, picked up his long knife and rushed to the tower.Dog x's!Don't even look where this is!A few days ago, I was so respectful that I really thought I was a soft lamb?When he rushed up the tower aggressively, he was also dumbfounded. Did the two 3000 people come to attack the city or to sing?They are so neatly lined up and well dressed...the leader is not a military general, but a white-faced scholar in his thirties.What key is this sung in?
"Yan Muliye, I am Qiao Yunsheng, the governor of the Qi Dynasty. If there is an urgent matter to discuss with the general, please open the gate of the city!" The white-faced scholar's voice sounded like a bell.
Qiao Yunsheng?I've never heard of it... Yan Muliye was a little puzzled, seeing the stupid cavalrymen under the city gate all dressed up like King Wuzheng of Zhou, they didn't look like they were fighting, and felt a little disdainful in their hearts.
"City guard, the people of Qi are so deceitful, is this man up to some tricks?"
Yan Muliye sneered: "This man is not suitable for war at first glance. You can see that although he is wearing soft armor, he does not show the domineering of a soldier at all. Although the group of cavalry behind him are majestic, they do not walk in battle. Stop Wuxing, an expert like me can tell it's just a show. Do you know Daqi's rules? Those with loud voices are all scholars, and this is the same. If he wants to come in, let him in, let him in, just let him in, just two or 3000 people It is not our opponent to come in."
What Anmuliye said was indeed true, even if these three thousand cavalry were released, it would be difficult to cause a devastating blow to Duolun.Because they are cavalry after all, field battles are more reliable, but if they want to play street fighting, they will be blocked and hacked by infantry.
"Let them in!" An Muliye waved his hand, "Just be careful! I want to see what kind of tricks Da Qi is up to."
3000 people, although not many, but also somewhat mighty.The scholar at the head looked pampered, and the adjutant next to him seemed to be a fighter, walking and talking cautiously.
"Cheng Shou, that scholar is a Guanglu from the household department of Daqi, and he said that there are documents to be withdrawn to the top."
Yan Muliye glanced at his subordinates in surprise.Guanglu was just a small official from the sixth rank in Daqi, but he had the most friendship with Monan.The official documents signed during the armistice were all under the control of this small official. Speaking of the household department, it must be a matter of money and food, which Monan can't afford.Those documents are actually only talking about the mutual market between the two countries. They say that there is no "market" in the mutual market.The so-called mutual market is nothing more than a transaction between two imperial courts.What Monan produces is nothing more than horses, cattle and sheep, and at most highland barley and wheat. In the eyes of Da Qi, these goods are worthless.But Daqi's sewing cloth, tea and barley are what Monan is eager to want, and Daqi's willingness to exchange is just to 'buy' a safe border.Although the border between the two countries has not really stopped, Daqi has basically never stopped the "mutual market".Now it's the new year again, and it's a sad time for Monan, if something goes wrong in the 'mutual market', Monan will suffer a lot.
Guanglu is actually not scary, what is scary is the official documents in his hand.Daqi's official document system is complicated and complicated, and there are strict rules for writing at every level.In order to communicate with the Daqi court, Monan specially set up an organization to write documents related to it, but Rao often couldn't keep up with Daqi's tune.Once there is a problem with the document, Daqi will immediately sell it out of stock, and there is no way to talk to anyone. You can only wait for Daqi to send Guanglu to come over, and the document will be rewritten according to the regulations before it can be restored.
An Muliye was very annoyed when he heard the word retreat: I went back to the capital a few days ago and met some relatives from my mother's side, and I got a taste of the vicissitudes in this kingdom.But the position of the city guard has not been changed, and his task is still to defend the city. If there is a mistake, he will lose his head.But this incident of Guanglu is not new in Monan, and it is not once or twice to let them go there. If they violated the rules of the past today, so what if they really made a fool of themselves?
"How many people are there in their line?"
"Three thousand."
"They're all cavalry?"
"All!"
The number of people is too much... No, it is too much, one or two hundred is considered too many in the past, Yan Muliye thought for a moment: "Take them to the hall to meet me."
After Qiao Yunsheng ordered the master Bo to settle down, he sat in the outer hall and drank tea. When he saw the messenger coming to invite him respectfully, he was not too polite, and walked into the hall with a big swagger.
This hall is the place where Monan formally receives guests, Qiao Yunsheng bowed his head slightly, exchanged greetings with An Muliye, and sat down.
Yan Muliye looked at the letter handed over, and the seals on it were complete, and what he was talking about was about cotton and linen. He said that the style of letters in Daqi has changed again now, and only Chinese is not enough, and it must be appended. Shang Monan language.Yan Muliye smiled wryly, we in Monan have set up a special organization to write documents in Chinese, but you are still looking for trouble, asking for Monan language... What kind of world is this?Just as he was suffering from a headache, he saw that Guanglu babbled a few words in Chinese to his master.
"What Qiao Guanglu means is that this matter has been delayed due to the wars of the past few days. Please let the city guard make it easier for us to pass the border as soon as possible." The master Bo lowered his hands respectfully.
Dog x's!It's late because your own people called in, don't say it's nothing to do with you.Yan Muliye's face was a bit ugly, it looked like this Beijing official had come to Monan for the first time, and he didn't know that the knife was made of iron!
"Qiao Guanglu, do you know that this is a war. In the past, it's fine, but today we can't pass it. Yan Muliye saw that the master Bo translated it one by one.
Qiao Guanglu was not in a hurry when he heard that, he lifted his robe and slapped his legs, and then muttered a few words in Chinese to the master Boji.
"What Qiao Guanglu meant was that it would be great if the city guard could send this document...Unfortunately, the seal of this exchange is really embarrassing. Qiao Guanglu can hand over the document to the city guard, but it is absolutely impossible to send the seal as well. Hand it over to the city guard, and so on, even if the documents are delivered, it will be of no use."
Yan Muliye was so angry that his nose was smoking, you nerd!What you say is wrong!
Qiao Yunsheng kicked the box next to his feet and muttered a few words.
"Qiao Guanglu means that the cotton in this box is a sample product for the mutual market next year. It was originally brought in in the middle of the year, but considering the current tight situation, we had to do it together."
Yan Muliye was completely shocked by Daqi's civil servants. Before, he would have met a lot of proud, crazy, and dead-headed people, but he was able to occupy such a comprehensive position. It's No.1 that is so embarrassing.It seems that the situation between the two countries is indeed going from bad to worse, how could Da Qi send such an envoy? ?How dare you threaten yourself with a bit of cotton, do you really think you dare not kill?
"Come here!!" Yan Muliye slapped the table: "How dare a daring lunatic despise the city guard, I don't care what kind of bastard Guanglu you are! Bind him to me!!"
Although Guanglu couldn't understand Monan dialect, but when he saw some big men trying to tie him up, his face turned pale with fright, and he screamed while trying to hide.
"I tied up all the people he brought with me!" Yan Muliye added.
After the people in the balcony were tied down, Yan Muliye rubbed his forehead and asked the translator: "What did that man yell at just now?"
"He said he was an envoy, and if the city guard insults an envoy, he insults Daqi, and he will regret it in the future."
Yan Muliye sneered, this man is indeed Guanglu, only those civil servants would say such stupid words.Turning around, he called the adjutant: "Go, come with me to meet the three thousand cavalry."
The 3000 people seemed to be well-trained. Although they were noisy, they did not mutiny after all.
Yan Muliye rubbed his chin. It seems that these cavalry are real. The master Bo looks a bit knowledgeable, and he is probably an officer. Now that the battle is stalemate, it is not strange to send some people to follow Guanglu, although this troop is a bit too sophisticated , but judging from Guanglu's ignorant appearance, this person is very likely to be a high-ranking official. It is indeed quite good to send a junior to the enemy camp to make a contribution in a position that will not lose his life. It is reasonable to send a better guard .
"Are those cavalrymen bound and searched?" The adjutant was a little worried.
"No need." No matter how well equipped the cavalry is, they will not be able to attack the city. Just now, they have gone too far to test the truth. If they want to burn more, they may really cause trouble.
Yan Muliye went to visit the two prisoners in the dungeon again, and Qiao Guanglu relieved his anger with an angry and fearful look.The master Bo was calmer, he seemed to be in a dilemma with the screaming Guanglu.
"Tell that Lord Bo to come out and talk to me."
Back in the hall again, the master Bo didn't have any fear on his face, but some were nervous.
"This officer," An Muliye said politely, "I was rude just now."
Master Bo bowed his body and did not answer.
"What are you going to do when you go to the capital?" Yan Muliye gently gave up his seat to the other party.
"This... I don't know." The master pushed back and sat down.
"How could the officer not know?" Yan Muliye frowned.
"I'm just working as a security guard, and I really don't understand the clerical matter." The master was a little embarrassed, and sat a little stiffly.
Yan Muliye smiled imperceptibly: "Officer, please go to rest. I am a quick-tempered person. I was really rude just now. I hope the officer will help me comfort Qiao Guanglu."
After all, he waved his hand to see off the guests.
"The city guard thinks it's really innocent?" After the boss left, the adjutant came up.
"If it was sent by Wang Yunyi, it must have been carefully prepared. How could he send someone who doesn't know how to deliver documents?" An Muliye turned around and patted the adjutant on the shoulder: "What's more, whether this cavalry Thousands or [-] will not be able to attack the city. No matter how many cavalry we send in, they can only ride around under the city wall. Seeing that these people don’t have much food, even if they are deceitful soldiers, they will definitely lose. But if It’s really Guanglu, we’re going to get into big trouble this way.”
It is absolutely true that Wang Yunyi has already entered Yi Kezhao!It is impossible for him to send such an excellent cavalry to participate in the battle that must be defeated.Yan Muliye confidently knocked on the box on the ground, this cotton is also money!
Outside the hall, Qiao Yunsheng's boss secretly touched the vest...it was already completely wet...
In the early morning of the second day, the fog dissipated completely, and when we looked up, we could see the eagle hovering over the mountain.The scenery in front of me is different from before. Although it is still a ravine, it has been opened up a lot, the weeds on the ground are more lush, and there are fewer dwarf trees.
"Here, that's Wa'ena." Du Qihuan pointed to Wei Chi with a whip.
It's only half a day away!Xu Yue, who has always been full of confidence, dare not march in the fog?It seems that this mountain top two is quite weird... Wei Chi packs up and prepares for battle.
The sergeants of the rear army pulled out the battalion first. After all, they hadn't entered Wa'ena yet. It wouldn't be fun if they were attacked by some tribe.When the sun rose quite high, the entire army was lined up.This time, except for Xu Lang's team, all the infantry and cavalry were at the rear, and the carts were all placed in the front row.Wei Chi saw Lu Shengduo from a distance. He was in charge of the grain truck, so he was also at the front of the queue.Wei Chi was also in charge of the military camp, but now he has entrusted full authority to a boss whom he has never seen before. I heard that he is another deputy commander of the rear army——Kui Siqi's subordinate, named Xue Zhu .It seemed that he was not much older than himself, and he was also gentle and gentle. Although Du Qihuan took him to deliver, the man seemed to recognize Wei Chi, and when he saw Wei Chi looking this way, he nodded with a smile.
Wei Chi also nodded and returned the gift, thinking that the acquaintances had seen the same... only Hu Yanglin and Tang He were about to ask, but saw Mr. Hu Qian dragging Tang He to report.I haven't seen him for a few days, but Populus euphratica's beard has grown deeper, and he looks tired... Tang He behind him has dark eyes and a sad face.Wei Chi greeted Populus euphratica, walked up to Tang He, and issued discipline and assigned tasks in a very serious tone as a leader.Tang He quickly complied, and as soon as Wei Chi finished speaking, he grabbed the reins and slipped away.
"You can be my guard, so that I can have someone to help me." Wei Chi poked Populus euphratica who was giggling.
"Yes!" Populus euphratica puffed out his chest in a serious manner.
Seeing that he really went to Wa'e Na, Saul Hahan became curious. What kind of idea did this old ghost Wang Yunyi have in mind to get such a large group of people and things past Wa'e Na?Haha, I really have to wait and see.
The school lieutenant named Yin Jianqiu next to him looked well-trained and didn't say a word, but he did follow Wang Yunyi's instructions and gave him the treatment of a distinguished guest.
"Can I ride a horse?" Saul Hahan stroked the broken hair by his ear, now the shackles are gone, free and carefree.
"As the girl wishes, but since the girl doesn't want to reveal her identity, I hope that the girl will stay closer to General Wang's guards. If she runs away, it will be difficult to explain." Yin Jianqiu gently suggested.
"What Lieutenant Yin said is true." Saul Hahan pointed to the group of horses behind Yin Jianqiu: "Give me that black horse."
Yin Jianqiu smiled slightly, nodded in agreement, and walked over to lead the horse.But the little schoolboy who led the horse refused: "Why should Mr. Yin give up his own horse to that female prisoner? What right does she have to be rampant? Why don't you let her choose another horse?"
This small school is about the same age as Wei Chi, and is Yin Jianqiu's personal bodyguard.Yin Jianqiu ignored him, just smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then took the horse and handed it to Saul Hahan respectfully: "Miss Qi Qige, be careful."
Saul Hahan nodded, turned over and got on the horse.Ah!It really is a good horse!With a light whip, the black horse leaped forward cleverly and galloped out.
"Drive!" Yin Jianqiu casually pulled a horse and followed.
Running to the edge of Wang Yunyi's personal guard, Saul Hahan reined in his horse, and it seemed that he would be able to enter Wa'ena before noon, and once he entered Wa'ena, he would not be able to bury the pot for food there. , I heard the sound of distributing dry food before Mao this morning, it seems that I have already prepared.
When the army took a step, Saul Hahan followed, and Yin Jianqiu followed quietly, without obstructing him.By noon, they had already entered the mountain pass of Wa'ena, and the pre-order troops had already encountered a shallow ditch.Saul Hahan was curiously waiting to watch the excitement, but unexpectedly the army stopped, and the masters of the gang leader camp began to deliver lunch with food.Yin Jianqiu handed Saul Hahan a portion—beef patties, barley paste soup, which didn’t look like dry food.It seems that Daqi is going to eat, drink, and go all out to pass Wa'ena.It took three days for a group of myself to go into battle lightly, and it took three days to cross this ghostly place. I don't know how efficient this Daqi march is.
Before the soldiers of the Chinese army had finished eating and drinking, they saw that the leading team had already stirred up. The oilcloths on the mysterious caravans had been removed, revealing many strange planks.what is that?Saul Hahan narrowed his eyes, because he was too far away to see clearly.
Wei Chi was among this group of people, and these seemingly inconspicuous planks were one of the most important secret weapons of this Eastern Expedition.Although these are just wooden planks, they are all made of high-quality iron wood, with thick bamboo slices specially pasted on the back, plus the structural structure in between, the cost of each one is more than one tael of silver.These ten carts are about [-] taels of military expenditure, no wonder the Minister of the Household Department is going crazy.
Both ends of these ten-foot-wide and fifteen-foot-long wooden boards are dug with wedges, one end is yin and the other end is yang.There is no thick bamboo nailed on the front of the board, nor is it polished smooth, but two concave grooves six feet apart are dug on both sides. These concave grooves are polished without a single wooden thorn—Du Qihuan called them "" Flow board"
Six feet - exactly the track of the Daqi team's wheels.
Soon, seven "wooden bridges" spliced together by flow boards were built, and the two ends of the wooden bridge were screwed into the inclined boards and wooden nails-so that they could be firmly fixed on the mud floor.
The convoys at the front set off slowly and began to pass the "wooden bridge" one by one.The people who built the bridge were divided into two teams, one team maintained it on the spot, and the other team went down a shallow ditch.
As soon as the first car passed by, the second batch of wooden bridges had already been erected... Repeatedly, it was like driving on a flat road!Saul Hahan pursed his lips tightly.
In fact, this wooden bridge is also a headache.Wei Chi wiped the sweat from his brow, because it is not a whole wood, so the hardness is not satisfactory, hey, in fact, it is a last resort to make it into wood chips, who said that these shallow grooves can be wide or narrow?Moreover, it is also easy to be worn out during splicing. Once half of the running beads are lost, it is difficult to hit them in with a mallet.Calculated, each flow board can only be used five times, and I don't know how many of these top ten cars will be left in the end.Wei Chi, who had a headache, didn't know that Saul Hahan was deeply shocked by these expensive and fragile pieces of wood that made his heart ache.To give Daqi's army time to make such thorough preparations!
As soon as the convoy moved, the cavalry and infantry behind them also slowly moved, but they were not lucky enough to walk on the "wooden bridge", so they could only crawl across the ditch by themselves.Wei Chi's trip was to supervise the soldiers to clean up the used runners, and to maintain the discipline of the infantry so that no one would be left behind in the chaos.
"Tang He..." Wei Chi thought for a while, and called Tang He over.
Tang He hummed, lowered his head and didn't look at him.
Wei Chi sighed, and it seemed that the jokes made a few months ago were a little bigger: "General Tang, I'll leave the infantry and the mopping up to you, you can go..."
Tang He quickly responded, as long as he is not with you!After doing the arch, he took his brother to the rear army.
Seeing how fast he was running, Wei Chi added angrily, "There must be no mistakes! Otherwise, it will be punished by military law!"
After hearing Wei Chi's gloomy addition, Tang He smiled wryly, and slipped away without daring to look back.
"Master Wei, rectifying military discipline won't require so many people..." Hu Yanglin kindly reminded Wei Chi.In fact, General Wang only sent himself and Tang He. He was just a small chief executive with only a few dozen people under his command. Now that Tang He is gone, most of them are gone.
Wei Chi shook his head, Tang He wouldn't be obedient, so it's better to leave than to make trouble.It's just that every piece of this flow board has to be recorded, so I can only work hard on myself.
Saul Hahan raised his finger and pointed there: "Captain Yin, who is that?"
"That's the commissioned guard to join the leadership, Mr. Wei." Yin Jianqiu glanced at it.
"It's not about him, I was brought back by him, how could I not recognize him?" Saul Hahan raised his eyes in disdain: "I'm talking about the man on the black horse next to him."
"That?" Yin Jianqiu thought for a moment, "That seems to be Mr. Qian under him, whose surname is Hu."
"Oh..." Saul Hahan responded lightly.
That person surnamed Wei is very popular, and the boss around him wiped his sweat and stabilized his horse, so he wished he could hold an umbrella to cover him from the sun... That person surnamed Wei laughed quite happily. Yes, it turns out that this stinky girl can do other things besides sneering and smirking... Hmph, Saul Hahan swung the whip in his hand, originally thought that she would only show her face to scare people.
Saul Hahan pointed to the two talking and laughing: "Your Wei Counselor is quite...delicate, huh?"
Yin Jianqiu froze for a moment: "Miss, you are joking, Mr. Wei is from the south, and all southerners are more handsome."
Saul Hahan thinks these soldiers are a bunch of idiots!No!The entire Daqi court is an idiot!She was actually fooled by this stinky girl... She is obviously a woman, with such narrow shoulders, such a thin waist, and a butt... Ahem, I can't tell because her clothes are loose, but is there any doubt about her voice? ?The more I thought about it, the more depressed I became, so I decided to play a trick.
"He talks...and is quite delicate." After speaking, he stared at Yin Jianqiu harmlessly.
"All southerners are like this." Yin Jianqiu pointed to himself: "The lower official is also a southerner, and his voice is quite soft." That delicateness means thinness, right?Yin Jianqiu thought to himself, since he is from Shijiang Town, his hometown dialect has a bit of softness.Mr. Wei is from the middle of Shu, and the middle of Shu is also a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and it is okay to speak softly. It seems that the women in this desert are used to the rough folk customs, and they look down on the voice of the south of the Yangtze River.
"Miss, you can imagine how big the country of Qi is, not a girl." Yin Jianqiu cupped his hands, "The north and the south are different from the east and the west. Although Mr. Wei is elegant, he is not lacking in masculinity. If he has no skills, how can he be entrusted with an important position by General Wang?" ?”
Hearing Yin Jianqiu's ostentatious tone, Saul Hahan felt a little displeased, but the arrogance of the Central Plains people has a long history, if he is angry, he will really let down his own knowledge.Hearing the words behind, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. I don't know what the men in Daqi Jiangnan look like, and let the stinky girl pretend to be in it, and it's fine if she doesn't get questioned. I just worried about my badness in vain just now, whether it made me a little too much.Looking up at the Jiangnan man in front of him, he doesn't seem to have a 'good-looking face', but he is shorter than those northern soldiers and fair-skinned. It seems that this group of Daqi people are idiots from the emperor to the soldiers, and they were killed by Wei Chi. I've been fooled around... I was smiling secretly, but then I thought, if I didn't happen to touch her floating veins, I wouldn't have guessed it, so I didn't get myself into it! ?
Damn stinky girl!Saul Hahan flicked his whip: "Let's go, I want to go back to the car and rest."
Yin Jianqiu saw that Her Majesty's moodiness was really difficult to serve, so he didn't ask much, but followed obediently.
At night, Wang Yunyi questioned, and Yin Jianqiu reported the truth.
"This princess didn't hide it, she went straight to see Driftwood, it's interesting, it's really interesting!"
"General Wang, this driftwood is more or less related to military aircraft, and my subordinates think that we should be more on guard." In fact, Yin Jianqiu wanted to stop it today, but Wang Yunyi had to let it go because of an order before.
"It's okay," Wang Yunyi stroked his beard: "This driftwood can only be used once, and if it can prevent her, it will not be able to prevent the world. Although it is specially managed by capable people, it can only be hidden for a while. This The princess will not leave now, and when she needs to leave, everything she saw today will be useless. Does she have any other actions?"
"Report to General, no more." Yin Jianqiu bowed respectfully, and was about to leave, but remembered something: "She asked me about Wei Canling, and also asked about the chief executive under Wei Canling."
"Oh?" Wang Yunyi was curious: "What did she ask?"
"She said..." Yin Jianqiu thought for a while, "She said Wei Counselor was a bit delicate."
Oh, yes, according to Xu Yue's temper, this woman would definitely not stay, and Xu Yue must have listened to Wei Chi's words to bring her back that day.That Princess Monan is eighteen years old. Although she is older than Wei Chi, she is still the same age...
Seeing Wang Yunyi's smirk, Yin Jianqiu quickly explained: "What the princess means... Mrs. Wei is a bit feminine, and there seems to be disdain in her words." After thinking about it, she added: "She also said that the lower officials are somewhat feminine. I am angry, presumably these barbarians are not used to it..."
Wang Yunyi's smirk froze on his face, and he couldn't help sighing secretly, Wei Chi, Wei Chi, you are kind of saving that woman's life, and you are also young and handsome, so it stands to reason that you can charm that woman for a while ...Why is it so useless?Looking at Yin Jianqiu's aggrieved and angry face, I was so angry that you still have the guts to complain!You are useless too!Wei Chi is only seventeen, and he's from the south. He's good-looking... just a bit more feminine. You're 26 anyway...
Wang Yunyi, who is omnipotent in wars, feels a little regretful. It seems that those wits and beauties in the drama are just farts...
When Yin Jianqiu saw Wang Yunyi's regretful face, he felt a chill in his neck.
Saul Hahan sat alone in the dark carriage, thinking about the current situation in his mind, completely unaware that Wang Yunyi, an old fox, wanted to use Wei Chi to use a "beauty trick" so that she would not love Jiang Shanai The "beauty" handed over to Monan.
Wei Chi squinted his eyes to check Liumu's serial number under the dim light of the lantern, never expecting that a man like Yin Jianqiu could consciously put himself in the same category as him...
Hu Yanglin held a lantern and secretly helped Wei Chi block the wind. He silently complained in his heart that General Tang was so angry that Master Wei couldn't have a smooth dinner. A corner is used to think about him.
"Crack!" The branch in Saul Hahan's hand was broken, why can't he calm down today?That stinky girl's smile matched the corners of her mouth quite well, but the silly little soldier next to her was quite annoying...
"Ah Qiu!" Hu Yanglin sneezed.
The moon hung like a hook in the sky, the night wind in the valley screamed ghostly, Chen Hu hid in the tent and shivered...Master Wei, come back soon... This howling of ghosts and wolves is so scary.
"How long does it take to get out of this valley?" Du Qihuan sat leisurely on the grain cart and lit a pipe.
"Five days soon," Xu Yue snatched his booklet: "This is food, are you looking for death?"
"I don't know what happened to Qiao Qianfeng and the others." Du Qihuan couldn't smoke, so he could only put his face on the sack angrily and rubbed his face desperately: "I wonder if there are any cigarettes?"
Xu Yue gave him a sideways glance: "Looking at you like that, you are getting more and more hopeless. Although you and Wei Chi have worked hard, compared to Qiao Yunsheng, they are really ordinary. He will have a narrow escape..."
Du Qihuan turned over and looked at the moon in the sky: "If there is no war one day, what are you doing?"
"Go home and hold my grandson." Xu Yue lightly lit the cigarette and took a puff: "I have long wanted to go home and hold my grandson."
Du Qihuan saw Xu Yue twitching on his own, furious, and stretched out his hand to grab it.Unexpectedly, Xu Yue waved his old fist at him, thinking of his ribs, he had been bullied for many years and couldn't stand up, so he had to let go after grabbing twice.
"What about you?" Xu Yue asked back.
"Me?" Du Qihuan helplessly picked a straw and put it in his mouth: "I was born to fight, and if there is no war, I will grow maggots..."
"Are you a cheap brat who has a good life?"
Du Qihuan smiled noncommittally. If he had to choose, he would rather be born decades earlier and follow the late emperor to conquer the north and south... Unlike now, he would spend several years at leisure.
"I'm that kind of person. If there is no war, I will find a war to fight."
Xu Yue blew a smoke ring: "In short, it's just looking for a fight, right?"
===============================================
20【Six Years of Jiankang】
Except for a few officers, most of the soldiers could only camp in the open air. The ground was so wet that it was difficult to start a fire. When it finally started, the smoke was so thick that no one dared to get close to the campfire. Fortunately, someone distributed ginger soup. Otherwise, no one could Endure for so many days?Wei Chi took a deep breath into the palm of his hand, shook his stiff arm, and walked out of the tent with his shoulders shrunk.Since about a month ago, the pigeons flying over from Chen Ang failed to send any information, and Chen Ang just wrote the word "safe" on that small piece of paper.It seems that this important military affairs cannot be tolerated by the prince.This day, those who are far away from the bird are not shitting, so they can only use the word "Ping An" to express their wishes.Wei Chi took out the small dagger, which was only given away by people who have never been on a battlefield... Stumbled, smiled wryly, and put it back in his pocket.
"Is it cold?" Yang Hulin walked over with a horn lamp.
Wei Chi jumped up and down twice: "It's not cold, it's just that the quilt is uncomfortably wet."
Yang Hulin took the cloak that Chen Hu handed over and put it in Wei Chi's hand: "It's good that we slept, but I don't know what happened to Mr. Qiao..."
Qiao Yunsheng's cavalry only brought dry rations for ten days. These dry rations were carried by horses, and they ran behind the team. They went smoothly in the Ikezhao Mountains. When they came out of the mountain pass, they saw the tower of Duolun City in the distance. I ate dry food for three days.The gift that Wang Yunyi gave that day made the city guard pay a lot of money, but Wang Yunyi underestimated the IQ of Monan Wang, no matter how conceited Monan Wang was, it was impossible for Monan Wang to transfer this famous general at such a critical moment.After beheading Damla and pacifying all parties, Monan King just gave Yan Muliye a lot of gold, silver and jewels, and still left him in this isolated city to work hard.
After Qiao Yunsheng arranged a team, he sent out a scout. As a result, the scout was almost discovered before he could get close to Duo Lun, and turned back without finding anything.Qiao Yunsheng sighed deeply, it was already late at night, one soldier could not hide from the enemy, how could these three thousand cavalry hide from the sky?Although King Monan led the enemy into his throat, he was in a hurry to go to the doctor, but he did not lose the final bottom line. He understood how important this line of defense was to Wulanchabu, and he also understood that as long as the Qi army could not threaten Wulanchabu Bu, no matter how messy the grassland is, he will not be able to shake his position. All he has to do is to defend Wulanchabu, and then watch the Qi army help him with his invincible brother, Wo Tuolei. Take it slow.When the Qi army took Wo Tuolei, he might have only one breath left. As long as he can maintain the strength to drive the Qi army out of the grassland, he will be the hero of the grassland and the savior of the Monan people.
The terrain Duo Lun was in was actually not very dangerous, but his defense gave King Monan and his guards absolute confidence.Many field cavalry were secretly stationed in those hills. If the enemy tried to cross the mountain and cross Duo Lun, they would definitely encounter those cavalry in the dirt enclosure. Once they met, they would not be able to get rid of them. Divided, and finally exhausted.Detour through the city?Qiao Yunsheng dispelled this stupid idea when passing by Duo Lun more than ten days ago - this city has cannons, although these cannons are not as good as Da Qi's, they are still enough to deal with the [-] cavalry under his command.And once he fights recklessly, it will definitely arouse Monan Wang's vigilance. If the overall situation is ruined, it will not be a matter of thousands of lives.
Before the expedition, Wang Yunyi once asked Qiao Yunsheng what clever plan he had.
Qiao Yunsheng said two words: "Negotiation."
When you can't fight or hide, you might as well try the civil servant's method. Qiao Yunsheng, who was born as a Jinshi, patted himself on the neck: "We can only negotiate, if we can't..."
"No one will collect your body..." Wang Yunyi's expression was a little gloomy.
The wind began to become a little milder, and it was almost dawn, Qiao Yunsheng was thinking about General Wang's last words.
"Master Qiao, what should we do?" Qiao Yunsheng's boss was a little anxious. If he stayed here until dawn, he would be discovered by the enemy. By then, he would still be a lamb at the mercy of others?
Qiao Yunsheng turned his head and pointed to the box next to his feet, and then pointed to himself: "I will take this box of cotton cloth to meet Yan Muliye, and you take our three thousand cavalry with you, remember what I told you If there is even the slightest mistake, you and I will be lost forever."
Looking at Qiao Yunsheng's calm face, Zhu Bo swallowed hard: "Okay!"
"Okay!" Qiao Yunsheng patted Bo's shoulder appreciatively.
"Report!" A Monan soldier rushed in hastily: "City guard! A group of Qi cavalry is coming to us!"
What?Yan Muliye threw away the oil tea in his hand, picked up his long knife and rushed to the tower.Dog x's!Don't even look where this is!A few days ago, I was so respectful that I really thought I was a soft lamb?When he rushed up the tower aggressively, he was also dumbfounded. Did the two 3000 people come to attack the city or to sing?They are so neatly lined up and well dressed...the leader is not a military general, but a white-faced scholar in his thirties.What key is this sung in?
"Yan Muliye, I am Qiao Yunsheng, the governor of the Qi Dynasty. If there is an urgent matter to discuss with the general, please open the gate of the city!" The white-faced scholar's voice sounded like a bell.
Qiao Yunsheng?I've never heard of it... Yan Muliye was a little puzzled, seeing the stupid cavalrymen under the city gate all dressed up like King Wuzheng of Zhou, they didn't look like they were fighting, and felt a little disdainful in their hearts.
"City guard, the people of Qi are so deceitful, is this man up to some tricks?"
Yan Muliye sneered: "This man is not suitable for war at first glance. You can see that although he is wearing soft armor, he does not show the domineering of a soldier at all. Although the group of cavalry behind him are majestic, they do not walk in battle. Stop Wuxing, an expert like me can tell it's just a show. Do you know Daqi's rules? Those with loud voices are all scholars, and this is the same. If he wants to come in, let him in, let him in, just let him in, just two or 3000 people It is not our opponent to come in."
What Anmuliye said was indeed true, even if these three thousand cavalry were released, it would be difficult to cause a devastating blow to Duolun.Because they are cavalry after all, field battles are more reliable, but if they want to play street fighting, they will be blocked and hacked by infantry.
"Let them in!" An Muliye waved his hand, "Just be careful! I want to see what kind of tricks Da Qi is up to."
3000 people, although not many, but also somewhat mighty.The scholar at the head looked pampered, and the adjutant next to him seemed to be a fighter, walking and talking cautiously.
"Cheng Shou, that scholar is a Guanglu from the household department of Daqi, and he said that there are documents to be withdrawn to the top."
Yan Muliye glanced at his subordinates in surprise.Guanglu was just a small official from the sixth rank in Daqi, but he had the most friendship with Monan.The official documents signed during the armistice were all under the control of this small official. Speaking of the household department, it must be a matter of money and food, which Monan can't afford.Those documents are actually only talking about the mutual market between the two countries. They say that there is no "market" in the mutual market.The so-called mutual market is nothing more than a transaction between two imperial courts.What Monan produces is nothing more than horses, cattle and sheep, and at most highland barley and wheat. In the eyes of Da Qi, these goods are worthless.But Daqi's sewing cloth, tea and barley are what Monan is eager to want, and Daqi's willingness to exchange is just to 'buy' a safe border.Although the border between the two countries has not really stopped, Daqi has basically never stopped the "mutual market".Now it's the new year again, and it's a sad time for Monan, if something goes wrong in the 'mutual market', Monan will suffer a lot.
Guanglu is actually not scary, what is scary is the official documents in his hand.Daqi's official document system is complicated and complicated, and there are strict rules for writing at every level.In order to communicate with the Daqi court, Monan specially set up an organization to write documents related to it, but Rao often couldn't keep up with Daqi's tune.Once there is a problem with the document, Daqi will immediately sell it out of stock, and there is no way to talk to anyone. You can only wait for Daqi to send Guanglu to come over, and the document will be rewritten according to the regulations before it can be restored.
An Muliye was very annoyed when he heard the word retreat: I went back to the capital a few days ago and met some relatives from my mother's side, and I got a taste of the vicissitudes in this kingdom.But the position of the city guard has not been changed, and his task is still to defend the city. If there is a mistake, he will lose his head.But this incident of Guanglu is not new in Monan, and it is not once or twice to let them go there. If they violated the rules of the past today, so what if they really made a fool of themselves?
"How many people are there in their line?"
"Three thousand."
"They're all cavalry?"
"All!"
The number of people is too much... No, it is too much, one or two hundred is considered too many in the past, Yan Muliye thought for a moment: "Take them to the hall to meet me."
After Qiao Yunsheng ordered the master Bo to settle down, he sat in the outer hall and drank tea. When he saw the messenger coming to invite him respectfully, he was not too polite, and walked into the hall with a big swagger.
This hall is the place where Monan formally receives guests, Qiao Yunsheng bowed his head slightly, exchanged greetings with An Muliye, and sat down.
Yan Muliye looked at the letter handed over, and the seals on it were complete, and what he was talking about was about cotton and linen. He said that the style of letters in Daqi has changed again now, and only Chinese is not enough, and it must be appended. Shang Monan language.Yan Muliye smiled wryly, we in Monan have set up a special organization to write documents in Chinese, but you are still looking for trouble, asking for Monan language... What kind of world is this?Just as he was suffering from a headache, he saw that Guanglu babbled a few words in Chinese to his master.
"What Qiao Guanglu means is that this matter has been delayed due to the wars of the past few days. Please let the city guard make it easier for us to pass the border as soon as possible." The master Bo lowered his hands respectfully.
Dog x's!It's late because your own people called in, don't say it's nothing to do with you.Yan Muliye's face was a bit ugly, it looked like this Beijing official had come to Monan for the first time, and he didn't know that the knife was made of iron!
"Qiao Guanglu, do you know that this is a war. In the past, it's fine, but today we can't pass it. Yan Muliye saw that the master Bo translated it one by one.
Qiao Guanglu was not in a hurry when he heard that, he lifted his robe and slapped his legs, and then muttered a few words in Chinese to the master Boji.
"What Qiao Guanglu meant was that it would be great if the city guard could send this document...Unfortunately, the seal of this exchange is really embarrassing. Qiao Guanglu can hand over the document to the city guard, but it is absolutely impossible to send the seal as well. Hand it over to the city guard, and so on, even if the documents are delivered, it will be of no use."
Yan Muliye was so angry that his nose was smoking, you nerd!What you say is wrong!
Qiao Yunsheng kicked the box next to his feet and muttered a few words.
"Qiao Guanglu means that the cotton in this box is a sample product for the mutual market next year. It was originally brought in in the middle of the year, but considering the current tight situation, we had to do it together."
Yan Muliye was completely shocked by Daqi's civil servants. Before, he would have met a lot of proud, crazy, and dead-headed people, but he was able to occupy such a comprehensive position. It's No.1 that is so embarrassing.It seems that the situation between the two countries is indeed going from bad to worse, how could Da Qi send such an envoy? ?How dare you threaten yourself with a bit of cotton, do you really think you dare not kill?
"Come here!!" Yan Muliye slapped the table: "How dare a daring lunatic despise the city guard, I don't care what kind of bastard Guanglu you are! Bind him to me!!"
Although Guanglu couldn't understand Monan dialect, but when he saw some big men trying to tie him up, his face turned pale with fright, and he screamed while trying to hide.
"I tied up all the people he brought with me!" Yan Muliye added.
After the people in the balcony were tied down, Yan Muliye rubbed his forehead and asked the translator: "What did that man yell at just now?"
"He said he was an envoy, and if the city guard insults an envoy, he insults Daqi, and he will regret it in the future."
Yan Muliye sneered, this man is indeed Guanglu, only those civil servants would say such stupid words.Turning around, he called the adjutant: "Go, come with me to meet the three thousand cavalry."
The 3000 people seemed to be well-trained. Although they were noisy, they did not mutiny after all.
Yan Muliye rubbed his chin. It seems that these cavalry are real. The master Bo looks a bit knowledgeable, and he is probably an officer. Now that the battle is stalemate, it is not strange to send some people to follow Guanglu, although this troop is a bit too sophisticated , but judging from Guanglu's ignorant appearance, this person is very likely to be a high-ranking official. It is indeed quite good to send a junior to the enemy camp to make a contribution in a position that will not lose his life. It is reasonable to send a better guard .
"Are those cavalrymen bound and searched?" The adjutant was a little worried.
"No need." No matter how well equipped the cavalry is, they will not be able to attack the city. Just now, they have gone too far to test the truth. If they want to burn more, they may really cause trouble.
Yan Muliye went to visit the two prisoners in the dungeon again, and Qiao Guanglu relieved his anger with an angry and fearful look.The master Bo was calmer, he seemed to be in a dilemma with the screaming Guanglu.
"Tell that Lord Bo to come out and talk to me."
Back in the hall again, the master Bo didn't have any fear on his face, but some were nervous.
"This officer," An Muliye said politely, "I was rude just now."
Master Bo bowed his body and did not answer.
"What are you going to do when you go to the capital?" Yan Muliye gently gave up his seat to the other party.
"This... I don't know." The master pushed back and sat down.
"How could the officer not know?" Yan Muliye frowned.
"I'm just working as a security guard, and I really don't understand the clerical matter." The master was a little embarrassed, and sat a little stiffly.
Yan Muliye smiled imperceptibly: "Officer, please go to rest. I am a quick-tempered person. I was really rude just now. I hope the officer will help me comfort Qiao Guanglu."
After all, he waved his hand to see off the guests.
"The city guard thinks it's really innocent?" After the boss left, the adjutant came up.
"If it was sent by Wang Yunyi, it must have been carefully prepared. How could he send someone who doesn't know how to deliver documents?" An Muliye turned around and patted the adjutant on the shoulder: "What's more, whether this cavalry Thousands or [-] will not be able to attack the city. No matter how many cavalry we send in, they can only ride around under the city wall. Seeing that these people don’t have much food, even if they are deceitful soldiers, they will definitely lose. But if It’s really Guanglu, we’re going to get into big trouble this way.”
It is absolutely true that Wang Yunyi has already entered Yi Kezhao!It is impossible for him to send such an excellent cavalry to participate in the battle that must be defeated.Yan Muliye confidently knocked on the box on the ground, this cotton is also money!
Outside the hall, Qiao Yunsheng's boss secretly touched the vest...it was already completely wet...
