Gao Qiong thought for a while and then said: "What I'm worried about is that Yang Yuan seems to have begun to doubt me."
"What did he learn?"
"Probably not." Gao Qiong said: "Although I have drawn a clear line with Muru, the Mongols have always been wary of me. That is to say, only after I rescued Ye Xian did Ye Xian start to trust me."
"I understand." Li Xia said: "Originally, it would have been best for me to take Duan Xingzhi along the Lingguan Road, but something unexpected happened and I had to ask you to come forward again. This time the situation was too critical, and many things were not done in a hurry... You
It was too easy to send people to leap from Cangshan Mountain, did Yang Yuan become suspicious?"
"That's probably the case." Gao Qiong said, "What I'm worried about is that even though Ye Xian hasn't thought of this yet, there's no guarantee that Yang Yuan will remind him."
He tried his best to lean forward and said: "What's more worrying is that A Shu will return to the teacher next month."
"So fast?" Li Xia asked in surprise.
Gao Qiong said: "I only got the news this evening. Ashu invaded Jiaozhi and defeated its capital Shenglong City in just ten days. Jiaozhi knows that it is a small country and is willing to send envoys to pay tribute."
"A'shu's five thousand Mongolian cavalry, plus Dali's soldiers, were only over 30,000. How could Jiaozhi surrender so quickly?"
Gao Qiong said: "That's what I said, but I bribed the messenger who reported the news first and got some news... It is true that A Shu broke through Shenglong City. But Chen Yu, the leader of Jiaozhi Kingdom, fled to the sea and took him away.
A lot of baggage.
Chen Xu then sent an envoy to meet A Shu, expressing his willingness to pay tribute, send his son as hostage, and declare himself a vassal to Mongolia. He also changed his name to "Chen Guangbing" to show his loyalty, saying, "If a small country is sincere in its affairs, how can a big country challenge it?"
Ah Shu originally wanted to destroy Jiaozhi, but the Mongols couldn't stand the hot climate there. They occupied Thang Long City for only a few days, but their morale was low due to the heat. The people of Jiaozhi continued to make sneak attacks, so they began to intend to return.
.”
Li Xia frowned and asked again: "If Jiaozhi becomes a vassal, will it help Mongolia attack the Song Dynasty?"
"Not for the time being." Gao Qiong said: "But the situation in the southwest is definitely getting worse. I took a peek and sent a reply to A Shu first. After Wu Liang Hetai died, Meng Ge had appointed Zong Wang 'Bu Hua' as the king of Yunnan.
, I will go to Dali soon without passing through Tubo, and I will discuss the matter of Cochin Gongna with A Shu."
Li Xia thought for a while and asked: "How can you deal with these Mongols?"
"Mongolians don't have so many twists and turns in their minds. I'm not too afraid of them seeing through it." Gao Qiong said, "What I'm afraid of is that Yang Yuan will complain in front of Ashu and Buhua."
"Then let's attack Yang Yuan first."
"How to do it?" Gao Qiong said: "I can't kill anymore. If I continue to kill, the Mongols will doubt me. Let's do this... Brothers Duan Xingzhi and Duan Shi betrayed Mongolia, and Yang Yuan, as Duan Shi's deputy, cannot escape the blame. I apologize to you
How about we file a complaint first and let him kill Yang Yuan?"
Li Xia thought for a long time and suddenly asked: "If Duan Xingzhi dies, who will be the general manager of Dali?"
Gao Qiong pondered: "It can't be the Gao family. Muru has been leading the old tribe to fight against the Mongols these years. The Mongolian people use me just to calm people's hearts and serve as a check and balance for the Duan family..."
He thought for a while and finally said: "It should be Duan Zhong. This man is the third son of Emperor Xiaoyi, Duan Xingzhi, Duan Shi's younger brother. He was nineteen years old at the time. He helped the Mongolian army conquer Huichuan City. His original name was Duan
"
Li Xia said: "It seems that Meng people don't want to get involved."
Gao Qiong smiled bitterly and said: "If the Mongols are implicated in Dali, my father and my uncles and brothers are all the ones who take the lead in fighting against the Mongols. Even if I am cut into pieces by a thousand knives, I will not be implicated."
"If Duan Zhong is appointed as the general manager of Dali, should he send someone to Haraholin to see Meng Ge?"
Gao Qiong's eyes lit up and he asked, "Feiyu said... let Yang Yuan go."
"That's right." Li Xia said, "Not only can you not frame Yang Yuan in front of Ye Xian, you should also intercede for Yang Yuan."
"After that, let Yang Yuan lead people north to Hara and Forest. I also sent 800 people to bring gifts to Meng Ge Khan."
"My armor, weapons, and food can all be placed in this 'gift'."
"You originally wanted to take Duan Xingzhi through the Lingguan Road, but unfortunately he insisted on taking the extra step, so you have to take his head through the Lingguan Road?"
"Um."
Gao Qiong thought for a while and said: "There is another question...Does Yang Yuan recognize you? He has been chasing you for two months."
"Don't worry, after two months of pursuit, he didn't see me even once."
"Then let's do it like this." Gao Qiong said, "I'll prepare the evidence tonight and 'protect' Yang Yuan in front of Ye Xian tomorrow..."
Two soldiers helped Gao Qiong go to the toilet.
Every time like this, Gao Qiong felt intense pain. His limbs were all gone, and he couldn't even go to the toilet without people. He was no different from trash.
Returning to the big tent, Gao Qiong saw Li Xia sitting there arranging affairs, with sweat dripping from his forehead.
"Is Feiyu still recovering from his injury?"
"Um."
"You said, we are so tired from living, sometimes we think about it... we might as well forget it."
Li Xia turned around, looked at Gao Qiong, and saw that he was wet under his clothes...
"I used to... when I was in Lin'an, I saw a... Cuju player in Lin'an. He played Cuju every day for others to watch and won every game. I asked him, 'What's the point of doing this?' He said, 'Do this.'
To be successful is to win and show others, to make the world believe in the power of hard work. You can see that no matter how difficult it is, someone can do it, and you can see that miracles can always happen. This is the meaning of watching a Cuju competition."
Gao Qiong said: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Because I speak poorly." Li Xia said, "If you feel tired, I can tell you some more inspiring stories."
"I'm not in need of your comfort yet." Gao Qiong smiled.
"Okay, anyway, since we are still alive, let's grit our teeth and hold on..."
Six hundred Qingfu troops and two hundred Gao soldiers were hiding in the west of the camp and did not dare to speak.
Yang Ben sat among them, looking a little lonely.
He originally thought that since Li Xia was injured, he should be the one to support Qing Fu's army.
But in the end, instead of being able to lead Qingfu's army away safely, he was in trouble. In the end, he still had to wait for Li Xia to come back before resolving the situation.
Yang Ben originally thought that Li Xia would not have been able to do something about the situation at that time.
This made him feel a great sense of frustration...
When Li Xia arrived at the camp at dawn, all the soldiers gathered around him and greeted him eagerly. Only Yang Ben was still sitting there alone.
After a long time, Xiong Shan came over and said, "Yang Ben, the county captain asked you to pass."
Yang Ben stood up expressionlessly and walked towards Li Xia.
He saw various generals gathered around the bonfire. Song He had a stern expression. Bao San pointed at him and whispered a few words to Li Xia.
Yang Ben didn't hear what Bao San was saying, but looking at the shape of his mouth, he thought he was saying, "Yang Ben is a descendant of Yang Zheng, and Yang Zheng likes to skin his concubines..."
The reason why he feels this way is because this kind of voice has always followed him when he was in Lu Jiajun.
"Thieves join the army..."
"His ancestors were violent by nature..."
Now the Qingfu Army has become the same as the Lu Family Army, which is not very interesting.
Yang Ben felt a sense of disgust in his heart, and stood still in front of Li Xia, saying: "The county captain must have known about it. If you want to kill or behead him, it's up to you."
"Sit down and talk." Li Xia said, "Are you sent by Lu Wende?"
"Yes." Yang Ben sat down and said, "But I am also from the Song Dynasty, and I really helped you sincerely this time. The result is that I did not do a good job, and it is not that the captain wanted to harm you."
"I know."
Yang Ben glanced at Bao San and said: "My ancestors protected our family and country, and I have never felt ashamed of it. You can speak openly and openly, and there is no need to gossip behind your back."
"What did you say?" Bao San was stunned for a moment, then he remembered and said, "I really know about your ancestors' bad things."
In front of Li Xia, Bao San was very forbearing. He wanted to say "shit ancestors", but at the end of the sentence he remembered to take back the word "shit".
Yang Ben was furious and picked up a burning stick to hit Bao San.
Xiong Shan knocked Yang Ben down in one fell swoop.
"In front of the county captain, you have rebelled against me!"
…
In Li Xia's eyes, Yang Zheng is Yang Zheng and Yang Ben is Yang Ben. A hundred years have passed and there is no reason to be involved.
But people are like this these days. Yang Zheng's story has been spread in Shu for hundreds of years, and Yang Ben claims to be his descendant everywhere, so someone is bound to scold him.
Li Xia could see that Yang Ben just wanted to scold him, he was mentally ill, and he liked to confront people tit for tat.
This is not a scolding of Yang Ben. He seriously believes that this is a mental illness due to reasons such as self-esteem or low self-esteem.
Li Xia doesn't know how to treat mental illness, and all he can do is face these people calmly.
"Bao San didn't whisper about you behind your back, at least not just now." Li Xia said, "What he just told me was that you did a good job."
Yang Ben was stunned.
Li Xia added: "I also think you did a good job this time..."
