The sturdy life of crossing

Seeing that Jian Leyang's momentum is getting stronger and stronger, different from the excitement of the common people, although some nobles in the capital did not participate in the forced palace operation of An Guogong and others at first, they still hope that An Guogong and others can successfully regain power and welcome the second prince to Beijing Ascend to the throne, but An Guogong and others sent him to the prison, and even the second prince himself was reported to have been captured alive outside the city a step earlier

The trend of the times, these dignitaries are so worried that their hair and beard have fallen out, they can't get involved in the logistics, it is completely controlled by He Yunzhang and Jian Dong, and most of them are old people from the Canghe gang, and they are full of grain and grass It was shocking to see it transported to the front line.

Why did King Cheng and Emperor Xian dare not send troops to fight the Yidi army with all their strength?In addition to having no generals available, there is another reason, that is, the treasury is empty, and the court can no longer afford to fight this battle, but it is not a problem at all when it comes to Jian Leyang. The army is 10,000+ or ​​more, and the food consumed in one day is gone. Where did Jian Leyang come from?And being able to take out these grains and grasses at once shows that he has long had the heart of disobedience.

"I've inquired. Part of the food and grass sent to the front line was donated by merchants in the south, and the Canghe Gang also purchased some from them. Hebang bought a large piece of land at the southernmost tip a few years ago, and also occupied a lot of land overseas, and hired people to grow food, which can be cooked in two seasons and three seasons a year."

"It's no wonder he has the confidence to lead so many soldiers to the front immediately, and it's no wonder he dared to say that only he can expel the Yidi army."

"A few years ago when there were natural disasters and man-made disasters, a large number of low-priced grains would be sold on the market. It can be seen that it was also Jian Leyang's handwriting, relying on the large fields behind him, and using good means."

After these people turned around and went back to the mansion, after being shut up in the study for a while, they came out to mobilize their family members to take action, looking for various ways to get in touch with the He family and the Gu family, even if they themselves also lost face and went to the He Gu family If it doesn't work, find someone who has already fallen for them.Some people held a reserved attitude at first, thinking that if Jian Leyang wanted to secure his position and stabilize the court, sooner or later he would come to their door, otherwise the court would not be able to function.

It's just that they can't sit still right now, and they are anxious. If the situation can't be changed before Jian Leyang's class teacher returns to the court, I'm afraid there won't be too many opportunities to show up in the future, so with the frequent news of the front line, guests from several families appeared in the capital The phenomenon of Yingmen, the most popular ones belong to the Gu He family. It is two extremes compared to the coldness of the previous family. Even the southern merchants who have recently moved into the capital, there are many women from the inner courtyard who come to the door under various banners. Visiting, as long as you have the heart, you can always find a relationship that beats around the bush.

However, the gates of Gu He's two mansions are not so easy to enter. No one knows what these people are here for now, but the more this is the case, the less they can take these things on themselves.What did he do long ago? Now that Jian Leyang was about to drive back the Yidi army, everyone became anxious.

"Great victory on the front line! Leader Jane personally led an army across the blockade, sneaked into the enemy's rear, flanked back and forth, and the enemy was defeated!"

"The Yidi army was defeated, and the Yidi king surrendered to the leader Jian for peace!"

Only more than half a month has passed since the great victory in Ping Chongzhou, and great victory and surprise came again. After defeating the Yidi army again and holding a large number of hostages, the Yidi people had to send envoys, hoping that the two armies would sit down and talk about peace. I hope that Jian Leyang will return the family members of the nobles to them.

When the news came back, the general public also saw the hope of a truce. No one wanted to continue fighting and could not return home. There were also many scholars in restaurants and tea houses expressing various opinions on the truce negotiations. You must know that these scholars did not participate in Jian Leyang. When he was in Beijing, he lashed out at him, but now many people have changed their positions. It has only been a long time since the start of the army. Since the establishment of the Daxing Dynasty, no one's combat performance has been compared with Jian Leyang. He is better than the blue.

"If you want me to say, we should go all out to fight to the end, let those barbarians know how powerful we are in the Central Plains!"

"You can't say that. Now the weather is getting colder and colder. I heard that the Northland has been covered with snow. There are many soldiers who follow Lord Jane from the south. They can't adapt to the extremely cold weather in the Northland. So It should be a quick fight."

"Yes, if it weren't for the strong financial resources of the Canghe Gang, the imperial treasury would not be able to support the battle for such a long time, but the Canghe Gang's money could not be spent on the battlefield. The entire Northland needs to be rebuilt, and other places have not been slowed down. I'm angry. After all, the court is still full of smog." After all, I think Jian Leyang is right, relying on the original group of people, I am afraid that the great country will be ruined by the barbarian army, and the country will fall , They will all become subjugated slaves. Although Jian Leyang is going to change his dynasty, he is also a native of the Central Plains, and it is much better than falling into the hands of foreign barbarians.

"Anyway, now that we have the advantage in the Central Plains, we can take this opportunity to coerce the Yidi people to retreat to the outside of the pass and take back all the lost cities^"

"But if we don't take the opportunity to beat the barbarians weak and let them go back to recuperate for a while, wouldn't they have to march south again? This is to give them a chance to breathe, or should they continue to fight!"

"Why don't you go to the battlefield yourself, brother? How many soldiers will die on the battlefield and cannot return home? So what if you give them a breather? As long as Sect Leader Jane is around, they dare Come on, next time, Gang Leader Jane, who has been prepared for a long time, will definitely beat them to such an extent that they cannot return home!"

"That's right, with Lord Jane around, who dares to look down on our Central Plains again?"

The people in the capital are arguing endlessly, but most of the voices still feel that as long as the barbarian army retreats outside the pass, the truce and peace talks are still possible. Winter is not good for our army to fight, and a long-term fight requires more manpower, material and financial resources. They need a chance to catch their breath. Most people are optimistic about Jian Leyang's future after he ascends the throne.

Not long after, voices came from the court and the northern front, and the two sides stopped the peace talks. Of course, the premise of the peace talks is that the Yidi army must withdraw from the pass and return to their grasslands. This is a matter of principle. Our army will never back down, otherwise it will be When we met on the battlefield, we vowed to take back the lost land inch by inch.

This voice received the support and response of the people. They should take such a tough attitude towards these Yidi people who invaded their homes. If they don’t back down, they should continue to fight!Beat them till they give in!It can be said that until now, Jian Leyang and the army led by him have become more and more important in the hearts of the common people.

This issue is also being discussed in the Palace of Deliberations. Who will lead the negotiation?Are they going to send a civil servant to preside over it?No one in the court can compare with Jian Leyang when it comes to leading troops to fight, but this negotiation is about talking and playing word games, can Jian Leyang do it?

Father Jian and He Yunzhang glanced at each other, and then He Yunzhang took out a letter sent back by Jian Leyang: "This is a preliminary agreement drafted by the leader, and we will negotiate with the high-level officials of the Yidi tribe on this basis."

"It turns out that Chief Jian has already prepared for it. Let's take a look." Others, including He Xiyu, wanted to know what charter Jian Leyang had come up with. The meaning of the imperial court, but it is actually a bit inconsistent with Jian Leyang. After all, Jian Leyang is not only a general who leads the army, but holds the entire power in his hands. That is to say, his own meaning represents the meaning of the imperial court, and he can completely monopolize it. Chao Gang.

Although Jian Wenyuan, who was sitting in the lower seat, couldn't see the draft document, but based on his understanding of his brother, the content written on it would definitely surprise all the adults in the venue. Those barbarians will never stop peeling off a few layers of skin, but are some old ministers thinking that they are a state of etiquette again?

Jian Wenyuan couldn't help digging his ears, perhaps because he was too deeply influenced by his brother, he actually felt that the content his brother might list should not be too much, it should be... just cut land and lose money, wars cost money , causing so many people to be displaced, and it takes money to rebuild their homes. Of course, the Yidi people who provoked this war must bear a certain responsibility.

As Jian Wenyuan expected, after reading the drafted documents one by one, they all got stuck, and then looked at each other in blank dismay. They were worried that Jian Leyang only knew how to use force, and the verbal battle would be weaker, but these conditions changed them to face the Yidi people. It is estimated that the lion would not dare to open his mouth like this.

"Is...is it too high? With such a high condition, what if the Yidi people refuse to retreat?"

"Our Central Plains has been a state of etiquette since ancient times. If these conditions are spread, I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the leader."

Jian Wenyuan spread his hands, he guessed this would happen, but he was immediately glared at by his father, and he quickly sat down and put away his small expression.

"My lords, I don't know," He Yunzhang explained with a smile, "These conditions are only preliminary. Since it is a negotiation, of course it is a matter of negotiation and bargaining. Let’s fight for reason, everything is negotiable.”

"Although our Central Plains is a state of etiquette, there has been a saying since ancient times, how can we repay virtue with virtue? Only by beating the Yidi people to pain and fear can they remember the lesson of this time, and they will not dare to use force in the future. Otherwise, This time is a precedent, as for enlightenment? It can be carried out slowly in the future, and the blindly soft policy may not be remembered by the Yidi people, it will only make them mistakenly think that we are too easy to bully."

"Someone out there said that this truce will give the Yidi people a chance to breathe and give them time to recuperate and recover their strength. Could it be that your lords really want to follow the wishes of these Yidi people and give them a chance to make a comeback? The policy of softness has been used a lot in history. Yes, but when will the barbarians outside the pass remember us so as to give up the invasion? They only care about the prosperity of our Central Plains."

"The boss said that the best way to deal with these invaders is sticks and carrots. This is the best way to domesticate them. You can take a look at the Japanese today."

For the grown-ups here, the idea of ​​sticks and carrots is relatively new, but you can guess what it means literally. Eat, maybe you still say hello to me.

Those who thought that Jian Leyang might only be good at using martial arts before felt ashamed and forgot how Jian Leyang deterred those Japanese people. It was just because the previous imperial court deliberately suppressed Jian Leyang, and all kinds of information about him were either handled in a low-key manner or blocked. People have overlooked how he dealt with the Japanese pirates in the first place. Looking back now, the method of dealing with the Japanese pirates can indeed be implemented on the Yidi people

"In this way, we will wait for the good news of the lord."

As they expected, at first the envoys sent by the Yidi people were so angry that Jian Leyang's lion opened his mouth, but the situation was not good enough, so they had to hold back their anger and protest, so the two sides set up a battle in the middle of the two armies In the camp, there was a scolding battle, and every time the scolding almost started, it stopped.

Jian Leyang went to battle in person, but every time he dragged a chair and sat in the back, folded his arms and closed his eyes to rest his mind, let his subordinates quarrel with the Yidi people, then got up and stretched after scolding, waved his hands and Bringing his subordinates back, after several days like this, the verbal abuse and kung fu of several subordinates rose rapidly.

Although the soldiers are not as adaptable to the severe cold weather in the north as the Yidi people, but this time there are enough cotton-padded clothes to keep out the cold. During the truce, the soldiers in the barracks still insisted on training. It is not Jian Leyang who is anxious to get angry, but the high-level officials of the Yi and Di tribes. Most of their family members are in Jian Leyang's hands. As prisoners, they must have the consciousness of being prisoners. Although they will not starve to death, they can Jian Leyang will not let them live too comfortably.

Although most of these family members are women and a few are underage children, the status of these women is not low, and many of them come from large tribes. It's about to burst.

A new day is coming, and Jian Leyang, who is sitting on a chair, listens to the people from the barbarians chattering, nothing more than that he refuses to pay compensation or cede the land, but whoever made Jian Leyang fancy a large horse farm, he wants to completely solve the problem outside the pass in the future In order to prepare for hidden dangers, their army is inherently weaker than the Yidi people in terms of cavalry.

Jian Leyang suddenly pulled out the knife beside him and sent it forward. With a "bang", the entire desk fell apart and sawdust flew.

A Yidi nobleman, who was attacking Zhao Dahu, took a few steps back in shock, and sat down on the ground, while the knife in Jian Leyang's hand was just hanging above his head, with a cold light, and a few inches down, maybe his head would be about to die. It was cut in half, there is no need to doubt Jian Leyang's natural power, suddenly, a fishy smell emanated from the tent.

Zhao Dahu and the others showed a bright look of contempt on their faces. With such courage, how dare they yell at their leader?
