Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 450: Things Are People, Things Are Not Things (2)
Hearing this, Lan Yu looked at him with an almost provocative look: "Then how are you going to convince Lord Annan?"
Qian Fu thought that his proposal had attracted attention, and immediately became eloquent:
"I have had friendship with the Lord of Annan before. So when I go this time, he will definitely treat me warmly! As long as I give him some advice and explain to him, our emperor has no real intention to attack Annan.
Meaning. As long as they stop harassing the border, not only can we continue to have good relations with our country, but he can also continue to be the King of Annan! In this way, he will definitely not make the same mistake again!"
Lan Yu glanced at him coldly and asked mockingly: "Oh, is it your decision whether he can be the king or not?"
Qian Fu twisted his beard and smiled, and continued to be smart: "Now Prince Annan's whereabouts are unknown, and his life is probably in danger. Rather than changing the king again, it is better to recognize the identity of the current king. This will not only avoid a war, but also
Calming down the border crisis would kill two birds with one stone! As long as Lord Annan signs the armistice agreement, the emperor will also take a step back under the persuasion of Lord Wang!"
This strategy is indeed in line with Wang Su's method - luring him with benefits will make a huge profit!
Lan Yu drank one glass after another and stopped talking. He only listened intentionally or unintentionally to Qian Fu's crazy talk.
Seeing that he was silent, Qian Fu thought that he had successfully persuaded this unruly general and couldn't help but feel smug - it seems that this world-famous general with a bad temper didn't say anything great!
After Lan Yu put down his wine glass, he asked coldly: "Are you done?"
At this time, Qian Fu didn't know that disaster was approaching, so he bowed and said, "General, this is the whole plan. What do you think?"
Lan Yu pulled up his sleeve and wiped his mouth, then slammed the table and shouted: "The army is about to go to war, but there is a thief who is deceiving the people and disrupting the morale of the army! Someone, push this guy out and kill him!"
"Ah? You...what did you say?"
Obviously, Lan Yu's words shocked Qian Fu, who was full of confidence, and he didn't react for a moment.
Until several soldiers came in through the curtain, grabbed Qian Fu and dragged him out, his mind was still blank:
He is obviously the peace envoy sent by Master Wang Su. He has relied on his sharp tongue to achieve a life of glory and wealth all his life. How could he become the target of General Lan Yu today?
Besides, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were very afraid of Wang Su. Even if Lan Yu didn't buy his fault, he shouldn't kill himself for Wang Su's sake!
For a moment, he was so overwhelmed with thoughts that he couldn't figure out what to do, and he actually forgot to beg for mercy!
However, even if he begs for mercy, it will be useless at this time.
Because he didn't understand Lan Yu: this brave and strategic general was very shrewd and calm. He had told all kinds of flattery, traps, scams, and evil ways throughout his life, but he had never been fooled!
How could Wang Su deceive him with this mere trick!
The two soldiers pulled Qian Fu out, and Qian Fu shouted at the top of his lungs: "General! The young one is right! The young one is Lord Wang's confidant. Aren't you afraid of offending him if you kill me?"
Lan Yuhao stood up and looked at him laughing wildly: "If you were not from Wang Su, maybe I could treat you as a madman and beat you out with dozens of military sticks! But you were sent by Wang Su
It’s because you have ulterior motives and disrupts the morale of the army. If I don’t kill you, I won’t be able to relieve your anger!”
"You! You Lan Yu! How dare you kill innocent people indiscriminately! Master Wang will never let you go after he finds out!"
Qian Fu was dragged out and the sound of yelling and cursing could not be heard.
Although Xia Yunqing did not agree with Lan Yu's behavior of despising human life, he was so angry at the scene just now that he turned blue:
"That Wang Su is really hateful! After disturbing the court in Shengjing, he actually extended his hand to southern Xinjiang to disturb military affairs!"
Lan Yu's eyes rolled, and he immediately called a guard and ordered: "Send the head of the man just now to Shengjing overnight. By the way, I want to convey a message to this general - this general will fight his ass."
thing!"
"This..." The guard stood there with his mouth wide open, looking at Xia Yunqing subconsciously, as if asking for help.
Although they have become accustomed to Lan Yu's arrogance and unconventional ways,
.However, today’s move is indeed a bit bold, and it is human nature for them to be afraid.
"General Lan, calm down. Wang Su has always been like this. You don't need to fight for him! When I get back, I will settle the score with him!" Xia Yunqing, however, could not stand idly by and let him continue his nonsense.
But Lan Yu couldn't listen at all. He glared at the guard and shouted angrily: "Why don't you go quickly? Doesn't my general's words have any effect?"
The guard trembled all over and immediately turned around and exited the camp.
Immediately, Lan Yu looked at Xia Yunqing and laughed loudly: "This is southern Xinjiang. If anything happens, I will be the one to make the decision. Sir, as long as you watch me win the battle, you don't have to worry about other things!"
"
He had a smile on his face, but his tone was full of warning.
There will be some disobedience to the foreign king's order - Xia Yunqing understood that he was reminding himself!
However, after careful consideration, he decided that for the sake of stability in Beiyu, he had to keep Lan Yu alive. The prerequisite for appeasing Lan Yu was to let go and obey his arrangements!
In this case, offending Wang Su is just a trivial matter, so just let him go.
The two chatted casually for a while, and then Xia Yunqing excused herself and left.
Watching Xia Yunqing leave, Lan Yu sat down cross-legged again, poured a full bowl of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.
For some reason, he has been feeling uneasy since Xia Yunqing arrived:
Xia Yunqing, who has always been frank, began to hesitate to speak. Yan Rong, a military officer from a family, was sent to the frontier, and today there was this uninvited lobbyist...
He felt that Emperor Yu was attacking him!
Xia Yunqing, who had been hesitant to speak, either had no idea what Emperor Yu was thinking, or had given up on herself.
He drank bowl after bowl of wine, and as he became drunker, he felt even more resentful:
I have to stay in this bitter cold place all year round, repelling enemy soldiers for Beiyu again and again, so that the officials and emperors can enjoy a peaceful life of singing and dancing without any worries.
Not only did he not receive the respect and respect he deserved, but he was constantly suspected and framed!
It’s true that if a tiger doesn’t show off its power, everyone will treat him like a sick cat!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the angrier he became, the more he drank!
"Report!" Suddenly, a guard's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
Lan Yu said angrily: "Say!"
The person who walked through the curtain was his lieutenant. He raised his hand and reported: "General, the thief has been beheaded, and the head and your reply have been sent to Shengjing."
Lan Yu said "Yeah" in a low voice and continued to drink wine with his head down.
The deputy general stood still, trying to figure out Lan Yu's expression but hesitated to speak.
Lan Yu raised her eyes and squinted at him, and asked coldly: "Is there anything else?"
The deputy general held a letter in his hand and said solemnly: "General, this is a secret letter found from the lobbyist. Please read it!"
Lan Yu put down the wine glass, took the letter and opened it to read. Suddenly he stood up, his face suddenly changed color, and anger suddenly rushed to his forehead.
The deputy general noticed that he looked strange and asked quickly: "General, what was written in the letter?"
Lan Yu rolled the letter into a ball, and his eyes were so angry that they almost fell out of their sockets: "It seems that no matter whether the war is won or lost, the moment the war ends with Hu Sou, it will be the day of my death!"
——Go to war——
The sky is clear and the sun shines brightly. The continuous mountains appear a scorching golden color, and countless wrinkles of sand and gravel stretch to the distant horizon.
There was a sound of beating golden drums, and the majestic army stood on the playground ready to go, marching hundreds of miles away, with their golden armor shining brightly in the sun.
Xia Yunqing and Yan Rong were wearing armor, holding talismans, and stood at the front of the team with their heads held high. The horses under their crotches were fat and strong, and their golden saddles shone.
After the hot noon, the sound of the flute sounded to urge the battle. The sound of the war drums was like the waves of snow and waves, and the shouts of the three armies swallowed up the mountains and rivers.
Yan Rong and Xia Yunqing looked anxiously at Lan Yu's Chinese army tent, but Lan Yu never showed up.
This made the two men uneasy, but they did not dare to show it for fear of disturbing the morale of the army.
"The imperial edict has arrived!" As the army set off, a shout suddenly rang out.
Everyone followed the sound and saw a school captain riding a fast horse and holding a feather book, crossing the vast sea of sand and galloping towards Xia Yunqing and Yan Rong.
Before leaving, there was an urgent message in the palace. This is not a good sign!
The hearts of all the soldiers were suddenly tugged, and the military morale was suddenly affected.
However, Xia Yunqing rode over with a calm expression, took the imperial edict from the captain, took it aside, and unfolded it alone to read.
As the whole army watched with bated breath, Xia Yunqing quickly read the imperial edict, stuffed it into his boots, turned his horse's head, held his head high, and returned to the front of the team unhurriedly.
From the beginning to the end, the expression on his face remained the same, without any waves, making it impossible to guess whether he was happy or angry.
He is the imperial envoy and can represent the imperial court and even the emperor. If he reads the imperial edict, no one will have any objections, and no one will dare to snatch it or ask!
Yan Rong was also a little unsure. When he saw the soldiers starting to whisper, he asked tentatively: "Master Chief Assistant, the emperor...does he have any new orders?"
Xia Yunqing smiled while stroking his beard, and shouted to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone, it is the Holy One who wishes us a triumphant return. When the time comes, he will personally reward the three armies!"
As soon as this was said, everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Deafening cheers suddenly burst out from the mighty team: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Yan Rong didn't doubt that he was there, and his face suddenly brightened.
However, as a general, Lan Yu and his Southwest Cavalry never appeared in the army.
Yan Rong couldn't help but asked worriedly: "Master Xia, it's already time to set off, why doesn't the commander come out yet? Could something have happened?"
Xia Yunqing thought deeply for a moment and sighed: "Just wait a little longer! Maybe General Lan is delayed by something." This chapter has been completed!
