The slender branches may seem inconspicuous, but that's what happens when children are hit hard.
But these prisoners did not have the courage to endure torture...
"Tell me! Why do three thousand cavalry dare to attack Chenzhou's army?"
The prisoner was a general, his hands were tied behind his back, and he howled: "The men from the Tiger Command are on the left side. We agreed to attack together, but those beasts! They didn't come."
Wu Da looked at the left side. There was no sign of ghosts, "You are lying!"
"I swear, if I lie... ow!"
The other side was also being tortured.
"The three thousand riders of the Tiger Control Division are on the left!"
That’s not right!
Uda scratched his head, "Where are the people?"
If 6,000 cavalry attack from both sides, Chenzhou's army will be in trouble.
"Why!"
Someone next to Yang Xuan shouted: "It's gone, it's all gone."
Uda asked: "What's missing?"
"They were all burned to death!"
Uda: "..."
The old thief praised: "I learned this art of war in vain!"
King Wei was also quite surprised, "You actually know how to use fire to attack. Are you just pretending to be stupid?"
Li Han shook his head, "He's not stupid, he's stubborn."
Yang Xuan said happily: "My second son has grown a lot. Yi Niang will definitely be very happy when I go back."
Everyone is happy for Wang Laoer.
Tu Shang asked: "Second brother, is this the fire attack strategy I taught you?"
The old thief retorted, "Lang Jun used the Fire Ox Formation to defeat the Jibo army in Zhang Yu County. The old thief heard about it and learned it."
Everyone looked at Wang Laoer and wanted to know who this guy learned from.
Wang Laoer scratched his head, "Tu Gong has been teaching me how to escape from the fire these days. I have been thinking about how to escape... I happened to see those people and horses sleeping in the forest, and I thought, why don't I light a fire?
, look at how they escaped..."
Yang Xuan: "..."
Old thief: "???"
King Wei: "!!!"
Li Han: "..."
Tu Shang said calmly: "This is an analogy, which shows that the second child has good qualifications."
King Wei said: "No wonder Jibo's two thousand cavalry dare to attack. What are you doing?"
Wang Laoer stretched out his hand in front of King Wei, "One head is fifty cents, I counted. Last night I burned to death 2,633 people."
No wonder I came back late, and looking at the sergeants, all of them had straight eyes, most likely they had not slept all night.
More than ten thousand dollars!
King Wei's cheeks trembled slightly.
Li Han coughed dryly and said, "There is no head."
Tu Shang said calmly: "You can't bully honest people!"
This old man was so lawless that he even wanted to kill the emperor, so a clan member was nothing... Li Han glanced at him and shrank decisively.
King Wei's annual income is divided into two categories. One is the prince's salary, which is the money and food given by the court; the other is the output of the fields under the prince's name and business income.
It seems like a lot, but the palace has a lot of pretensions and spends a lot every year. Therefore, the seemingly extravagant King Wei feels a little distressed at the moment.
Li Han glanced at Yang Xuan and thought that more than ten thousand dollars was too much, right?
Don't you want to give me advice?
Yang Xuan drooped his eyelids and decisively transformed into Huang Chunhui No. 2.
More than 10,000 yuan is enough for Wang Laoer to eat dried meat until the end of the world.
Wang Laoer sighed, "Forget it if you don't have it."
So grand?
Everyone was stunned.
Wang Laoer said: "Next time I will find someone reliable."
The second child actually learned the method of provocation?
Yang Xuan glanced at Tu Chang, who shook his head and swore that what he taught Lao Er was full of positive energy, and there was no such thing as the ability to squeeze people out.
That's the old thief!
The old thief shook his head, "I've always wanted to teach my second son how to press boxes, but he didn't learn."
Li Han was quite curious, "What's your ability to press boxes?"
"Meet the noble man."
"Isn't that just a lobbyist?" Li Han lost interest.
The old thief added silently: "Underground!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, King Wei said calmly: "It's just more than 10,000 yuan. I'll give it to you later."
Wang Laoer was overjoyed, while Yang Xuan said with a straight face, "Take a rest for an hour and continue the investigation."
The old thief whispered: "The sexy fox is here."
Everyone dispersed in a hurry.
He Lianyan came over and said, "The Jibo tribe suffered a disastrous defeat, Huai Enhui is furious."
"Isn't this what the emperor wants?" Yang Xuan said lightly: "Through killing, there will be no room for relaxation between the three major ministries and Chenzhou. In this way, the emperor can control these three dogs."
"You are quite smart." He Lianyan looked at Yang Xuan with complex eyes, "When I first met you, you were more cunning than generous. Now you are more calm and elegant."
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "I am honest."
He Lianyan said coldly: "Tell me about your own ambitions. Why do you think I'm so cruel?"
"Haha, I just made a mistake."
The two of them had a lot of wit.
Helianyan returned to his entourage.
Jielong said: "Madam, the Jibo Department and the Tiger Control Department suffered a disastrous defeat, and the emperor's uncle expected a lot..."
He Lianchun's original plan was to create a big fanfare and use the three major divisions to torment Chenzhou's army, causing huge losses to Yang Xuan. After that, the meeting turned sour.
——Yang Xuan, the governor of Chenzhou, was frightened by Daliao's offensive and humbly came to seek peace!
As for the death of the envoy...that unlucky fool dared to attack Yang Xuan's two thousand men with five hundred cavalry. Wasn't he willing to die? The emperor's uncle couldn't hold him back.
He Lianyan nodded, "Yang Gou has become more and more calm and steady with his troops, and he has resolved the obstruction of the three major ministries one by one without any fuss. I think this person will be Tanzhou's great enemy in the future."
…
The leaders of the three major departments are here.
The emperor's uncle came out to greet his three dogs in person, smiling broadly.
"This trip is hard."
Zhang Zhuo, the Khan of the Tiger Control Department, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "We have long been accustomed to running around like this. It's the Emperor who works hard."
Compared with the majestic Hua En and the ferocious Xin Wuji, Zhang Zhuo is more like a scholar.
Everyone entered the big tent.
"Xin Wuji!" The emperor's uncle looked at Xin Wuji expressionlessly.
The southern part of the town took the lead in launching a surprise attack, but failed miserably.
Is the emperor's uncle going to punish him?
Zhang Zhuo and Hua En looked at each other and thought it would be a good idea to teach the newcomers a lesson.
These two people are enemies, but they have a rare agreement on their attitude towards Xin Wuji.
After the defeat of the Waxie tribe, Zhang Zhuo and Huai En felt that they had an opportunity to expand, so they sent troops to seize the territory.
But who would have thought that a scar-faced man would show up halfway, and he was so fierce. In addition, Yang Dog was wandering on the grassland at that time, which dealt a heavy blow to the men and horses they sent out, so Xin Wuji took an advantage.
If not for the suppression by the emperor's uncle, Zhang Zhuo and Huai'en would have prepared a flanking attack to destroy Xin Wuji.
Perhaps sensing the gaze, Xin Wuji slowly looked over and smiled.
The scar on his face turned up, looking particularly ferocious.
"Uncle!" Xin Wuji took a step forward.
He Lianchun said calmly: "I am very pleased to hear that you refused to retreat in the face of Yang Xuan's pressure."
It’s actually an award?
Zhang Zhuo and the two were surprised.
He Lianchun said: "Reward Xin Wuji with five thousand coins!"
This time even Xin Wuji couldn't help but look up at the emperor's uncle.
The emperor's uncle's stingy reputation resounded throughout Daliao, and the three major ministries were gnashing their teeth over it. If they were not defeated, they would definitely break Tanzhou and kill this old man who raised dogs without giving them food and blackmailed his own dogs.
!
but!
Today, the emperor's uncle changed his gender... no, he changed his gender.
He actually gave me money!
this……
Xin Wuji's heart moved, and he tried his best to pretend to be grateful and shed tears, "Uncle Emperor... how dare I!"
He Lianchun said calmly: "I have clear rewards and punishments, so I'll take it."
"Yes." Xin Wuji raised his head.
He Lianchun smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, look at it, the scar is in the right place. Even if you smile gratefully, it looks particularly ferocious."
Liu Song took a look and said, "Uncle, I don't know, this is fate."
He Lianchun was surprised, "What destiny?"
Liu Song stroked his beard and looked at Xin Wuji carefully, "I once met a stranger who taught me some methods of reading faces. If Xin Wuji had no scars, his original appearance would be that of an early death, and his family would be ruined."
Xin Wuji originally listened to it for fun, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked.
If he had stayed in Jianshui City, according to He Lianfeng's nature, he would have lost important prisoners, and Jianshui City would have been destroyed... together it would be enough to kill his whole family several times.
"After getting this scar, this man's face suddenly changed, and he actually looked a little rich." Liu Song looked at him a few more times and said firmly: "That's the look of wealth. Uncle Emperor."
"Yeah!" The emperor nodded.
Liu Song smiled and said: "The southern part of the town is new, but Xin Wuji has no fear in the face of Yang Xuan, which shows that he is loyal to the emperor's uncle. Such wealth! I think he came from the emperor's uncle."
Master... Xin Wuji was shocked, knelt down and said: "The southern part of the town is at the disposal of the emperor."
"Hahahaha!" Helianchun laughed happily.
Then the banquet began.
The emperor's uncle chatted and laughed happily, and occasionally asked about the situation in his respective ministries, but he did not touch on the fundamentals. This kind of control was secretly admirable.
In the middle of the banquet, the emperor's uncle put down his wine glass.
The three of them quickly put down their chopsticks.
This kind of banquet may seem like a favor, but the attendees have no intention of eating or drinking. Their five senses are fully opened, guessing the intentions of the superiors, and responding with words and deeds to welcome them.
The emperor's uncle said: "The southern part of the town was newly established, so it was defeated by Chenzhou's army. Are you sure that you two will form a coalition?"
Zhang Zhuo and Huaien looked at each other and said: "Six thousand cavalry attacked, and they attacked halfway across the river. Uncle Emperor, I think we will win this battle. Even if we cannot win a big victory, Yang Xuan will suffer heavy casualties."
The emperor's uncle nodded, "In this case, if there is a big victory, I will not hesitate to reward you!"
This time he was preparing for a massive hemorrhage, so he mobilized a lot of money to accompany him.
Everyone relaxed during the banquet that followed. Liu Song took the lead in telling a joke, and then the three of them followed, filling the tent with laughter.
"...I took a look, and the woman's eyes were open. She was already dead. She was scared to death by me."
The jokes Zhang Zhuo said are not funny to ordinary people, but make them angry and sad.
But the sorrows and joys of ordinary people are the jokes of the superior people... Just like someone said, the gods hope to see human beings being stupid to add some laughter to their lives.
Everyone couldn't help laughing.
The sound of horse hooves broke the laughter.
The voice of a guard came from outside the tent, "Uncle Emperor, someone from the Tiger Control Department wants to see Zhang Zhuo Khan."
Zhang Zhuo gasped with a smile, "Uncle, maybe the news has come."
He Lianchun nodded, someone went out, and after a while, someone came in with him.
The one who came in was Shinetsu.
Before setting off, Zhang Zhuo remembered clearly that Shinyue was full of confidence and said he would never return... his armor was bright and his spirit was full of heroism.
But at this moment, Shinyue's hair was messy, half of his hair was burnt, and he looked particularly funny. His face was black and gray, and his lips were chapped...
The clothes were disheveled and the corners seemed to have been burned.
The whole person was in a miserable state, as if someone had thrown him into a garbage dump and trampled on him a hundred times.
By the way, I threw it into the stove and rolled it around a few times.
Zhang Zhuo was stunned: "Why do you look like this?"
Wynn smiled and said, "Could it be that I was napping by the campfire and got burned?"
This kind of thing is quite common.
Zhang Zhuo's face softened a little, and he knelt down with a loud pop, "Khan..."
The emperor's uncle took a deep breath and glanced at Liu Song, "There is a mourning call!"
Only then did Shinyue come back to his senses and kowtowed to He Lianchun, "Uncle, you are defeated!"
Zhang Zhuo jumped up suddenly, came over, grabbed Shinyue's lapel, and shouted: "Why were you defeated? Six thousand cavalry made a surprise attack and attacked halfway, how could they be defeated?"
He Lianchun also found it strange. Chen Zhoujun was quite strong, but he was attacked halfway. Even if the God of War came, he would have to kneel down, right?
Why did you lose?
Shinyue said: "The villain led his army to camp in a forest on the left wing. In the middle of the night, Yang Gou's men came over. A fire... a fire, Khan. Most of them were burned to death, leaving only a few.
Hundreds of people escaped!"
Three thousand elites, they haven't been able to kill an opponent or snatch a woman for him, so what the hell are they gone?
Gone!
Zhang Zhuo slapped him across the face, "Idiot, you must have been careless."
"Khan, the secret whistles have been released." Zhang Zhuo also felt that it was caused by the secret whistles not fulfilling their responsibilities.
"Someone is coming!"
Zhang Zhuo's eyes flashed fiercely.
Liu Song coughed dryly, "This is the emperor's uncle's place. If you want to deal with his subordinates, get out!"
Zhang Zhuo bowed to apologize.
He Lianchun was disappointed and waved his hands.
"Zhanbi is here."
Zhanbi entered the tent and said sadly and angrily: "Khan, Shinyue has not arrived yet, so I attacked Yang Gou alone and was defeated by him."
Wynn's face turned red, "Stupid!"
Liu Song asked: "Why did you lose?"
Even if you can't win a big victory if you attack halfway across the river, it won't be a big defeat, right?
Zhan Bi said: "Yang Xuan ordered five hundred people to cross the river in advance, and the villain led the army to attack."
That's right!
"But there is an old man under Yang Gou. He is so good at using a spear that the villain... is no match for him."
"The general is a soldier's courage." The emperor's uncle was extremely disappointed, "Get out!"
After the people from the three major ministries went out, Liu Song sighed, "Uncle Emperor, if one thing goes wrong, the other will go up, I'm afraid Yang Xuan will become arrogant."
He Lianchun said calmly: "This meeting will determine the relationship between Tanzhou and Chenzhou in the next few years. It is very important. The three major ministries are incompetent, but it doesn't hurt to let Yang Xuan be proud for a while. Many times,
If you are proud, you will get carried away!"
He was born into a noble family and grew up in the palace. He was used to watching dramas of life and death, honor and disgrace. He was used to the ups and downs of singing and singing, and he knew a truth: the more proud a person is, the faster he will fall!
Liu Song stood up and said, "In this case, I will go and arrange it. At least it will be better for him to bow his head during this negotiation."
He Lianchun nodded, "By the way, the Tiger Control Department failed and was fined 10,000 yuan."
Xin Wuji was rewarded with 5,000 yuan, and the emperor's uncle could still earn 5,000 yuan. Liu Song: "..."
The next day, Yang Xuan came.
"Yang Gou is here!"
someone in the camp shouted.
He Lianyan entered the camp first.
"Uncle Emperor."
"how?"
He Lianchun stood up, and He Lianyan took his hand, and was almost bent over in an instant.
"The southern part of the town is weak, the Yuhu Department underestimates the enemy, and the Jibo Department is incompetent."
"I understand." He Lianchun was very satisfied with the result of this operation in three sentences.
"Uncle Emperor, are you going to greet him?" He Lianyan was confused and felt that he was giving too much face.
"He is now the governor." He Lianchun smiled, "It's only been a few years since this boy was able to be on an equal footing with me!"
Yang Xuan and the emperor's uncle met outside the big tent.
"Uncle Emperor!"
"Shijun Yang!"
"Long time no see, uncle."
The two of them hugged each other.
Slap each other on the back.
Then let go and look at each other.
The emperor's uncle smiled kindly and said, "Young Master Yang is here, and I will give you a gift. What do you want?"
All the khans from the three major ministries were nearby.
Yang Xuan's eyes turned, "Who is the Khan of the Tiger Control Department?"
Zhang Zhuo came out with a smile, "Zhang is here!"
Yang Xuan asked: "I heard that you have the blood of a Tang Dynasty person?"
"Yes." Zhang Zhuo was sizing up Yang Xuan, analyzing his character and preparing for future responses.
"I heard that you like to torture and kill women?"
"Are you not satisfied?"
Zhang Zhuo squinted his eyes.
Yang Xuan said: "I can't help you killing your own people, but you shouldn't torture and kill women of the Tang Dynasty."
