After listening to Wei Xu's words, Zhang Yan suddenly understood something in her heart. However, Zhang Yan was very curious that Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou, could think of recruiting him. The person of the governor of Bingzhou and his ability to handle things
, before he came to Bingzhou to commit the crime, he had already passed the investigation of the "Black Mountain Intelligence Group" and found out everything. Ding Yuan had a strong temperament, and he should not have thought of such a strategy as recruiting and surrendering. Could it be that his intelligence personnel were not doing things well, so he
As for not investigating clearly, could it be that I underestimated Ding Yuan? No way. Well, I'd better ask him in detail. With the weak character of this messenger, I guess he couldn't hide anything from me.
When Zhang Yan thought of this, she couldn't help but secretly laugh: This Wei Xu's bones are too soft. After seeing him, he was afraid that he would do something to him. When he replied, he quickly took out his messenger's bones.
Identity, it is really ridiculous to try to use the rules of confrontation between the two countries to restrain himself. He did not even think about it, I am not from any country, I am a horse thief. When he thought of this, Zhang Yan deliberately sneered.
He said in a nonchalant voice: "Is this how your governor allows you to come?"
"No, no. I didn't come empty-handed. Didn't I just say that? I came here to treat you with a lot of money on the order of the governor."
"Hmph! You said you came here to visit me with a lot of money. Where is your money?"
"Master Mingjian, the villain did come with a lot of money, but these things were taken away by your brothers when they were at the foot of the mountain." Wei Xu said a little aggrieved.
"Du!" Zhang Yan slapped the table and said sternly: "Do you know what our Montenegrin Army does? Isn't it natural for us to take what you brought? Since you can't keep what you brought, why don't you
How can you talk about sending me something?"
When Wei Xu heard what Zhang Yan said, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said to himself: Ha! Why am I so confused? How could I forget that these Montenegrin troops are themselves a group of bandits? The bandits and I
Talking about giving gifts, this is no matter where. The robber master, if you want something, you can't just reach out and take it. This time I made a mistake. From this point of view, my identity as an envoy may not be able to protect him.
Risking his own life. The more Wei Xu thought about it, the more he became afraid. He could not help but tremble like chaff in a sieve.
Zhang Yan saw that Wei Xu was so frightened that he thought it was enough. He pointed out a way for Wei Xu and said, "In addition to these heavy sums of money, did you sir also promise me some reward?"
Wei Xu seemed to be a dying man, grabbing a life-saving straw, licking his lips that were obviously dehydrated, and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, yes, yes. Our Lord has said that as long as you submit to our court,
You can have as much money as you want. You can have as many official positions as you want. You can have as many beauties as you want."
After hearing Wei Xu's promise, Zhang Yan secretly felt funny in her heart: I can't see how this kid can be fooled. He just spent all his time, money, beauties, and high-ranking officials, but he didn't do anything at all. But this kid is absolutely useless.
I would never have thought that although these things may be very tempting to others, they are of no use to me at all. When it comes to money in today's world, there is no one who can compare with my husband's money.
More? Even if there is, it is only accumulated over several lifetimes, and it will definitely not keep up with the speed of making money for his husband. Moreover, he is a beautiful woman himself, so why do he need a beautiful woman? How can he continue to take advantage of his husband? And that man
The high-ranking official of the dynasty is even more ridiculous. He upholds his father's ambition in order to overthrow the Han Dynasty. Even if you give me a general to do it, I will not agree. How can I care about you?
What official positions can a small provincial governor of Bingzhou grant?
However, Zhang Yan looked at Wei Xu's appearance and said with intention to tease him: "Oh. Your governor is so generous. Then can you tell me specifically, your governor in Bingzhou?"
What kind of benefits can it give me?"
When Wei Xu saw that the big leader opposite had a relaxed tone, he immediately took a breath and thought happily: Money, beauty, high officials, throughout the ages, how many people have been able to escape their temptations. Wei Xu's heart was
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but say with a bit of arrogance in his words: "Well. As long as you, the great leader, can lead the army to return to our court, I can't guarantee anything else. With ten thousand taels of gold and ten beauties, our Bingzhou will still be the best."
You can afford it. Moreover, our governor can also designate a county for you to rule, and recommend you to the imperial court to become the chief of a county. At that time, you will command a county, and as a senior official of the imperial court
, wouldn’t you be able to bring glory to your ancestors?”
"Hmm. Is your governor so rich? How come I have never heard of it? And can your governor guarantee that my identity as a bandit will not be investigated by the court?" Zhang Yan was somewhat doubtful.
asked.
"Hahaha." Wei Xu smiled, stood up, and said proudly: "As the governor of Bingzhou, we, the adults, have the final say on the money, food, and population of Bingzhou.
.And if our governor recommends you to be an official, won't it give you an identity? The imperial court is far away from us in Bingzhou, and what can we know? My governor has the final say in all this."
When Wei Xu said this, he was afraid that Zhang Yan wouldn't believe it, so he added: "In this world now, since the Yellow Turbans rebelled, small rebellions have continued one after another in various places. The imperial court has allowed each place to recruit its own troops and bring peace to the local area. Then the various places have been peaceful.
Officials, big and small, if you don't place one's own cronies, what's the big deal if my governor arranges an official position for you."
Zhang Yan felt enlightened after hearing this: Could it be that the current imperial court is no longer monolithic?
But now Zhang Yan was not allowed to think too much. Now Zhang Yan looked at Wei Xu's triumphant face and became angry. She snorted coldly and said: "Huh! The money and beauties belong to your Bingzhou territory.
You, the governor, can get things, but I can’t get them. And you, the governor, only have jurisdiction over one of the two states, but I can merge two states vertically and horizontally. How carefree and happy that is. How can you be a little kid like you?
Can a small county be restrained?"
Wei Xu was so frightened that he plopped down and knelt down again, forcing himself to defend himself: "Yes, yes, yes, but if you, the great leader, surrender to the imperial court, you will no longer have to live in fear of being killed by the army.
, and you can also live a leisurely life in various prefectures, cities, and counties. Isn’t that much more comfortable than now?”
Zhang Yan said with disdain: "Huh! You are here because some of the people you captured last time could not stand your coercion and inducement and surrendered to you. Then you should know some of my strength. And you
After entering our military camp, you should have seen some of our mighty troops. And I also know how many men and horses you have in Bingzhou and how elite they are. Now in your opinion, these men of mine are in your Bingzhou
On the ground, who can lead an army that can compare? If I use these hundreds of thousands of cavalry to flatten your state, which army can resist it? Still want to chase me? Aren't you dreaming?
?”
Zhang Yan's words hit the nail on the head of Wei Xu. Wei Xu knew very well that the Bingzhou territory he was in, and his lord Lu Bu, could be said to be brave and invincible, but a general, even if he was made of iron,
Then how many nails can he twist? In a large battle with thousands of troops, how useful can one person's bravery be? When the two armies confront each other, they are competing against each other. But it is a competition.
The army, that is, the trapped camp led by Gao Shun, should be able to defeat the Montenegrin Army. However, Gao Shun's trapped camp is only a thousand-man team, so how can it compare with the Montenegrin Army? Moreover,
Even if all the Wu soldiers in Bingzhou are comparable, they are only 80,000 in number. If the Black Mountain Army really has hundreds of thousands, and they are all cavalry, then there is really no one on the ground in Bingzhou who can lead them.
The soldiers and horses can't stop these Montenegrin troops, but I still talk about the pursuit of officers and soldiers. Isn't that a joke? Moreover, after these Montenegrin troops pacified Bingzhou, even if the future court can organize people and horses to wipe out these Montenegrin troops, but
At that time, not to mention the future of myself and my lord, even the governor's official position and life may not be guaranteed.
"Hmph! You have nothing to say this time, right?" Zhang Yan continued to put pressure on Wei Xu.
Wei Xu was interrupted by Zhang Yan's cold snort, and then he thought: Let alone what will happen in the future, I'm afraid he may not be able to pass the test in front of him. At the moment, Wei Xu couldn't care less about Lu Bu's thousands of warnings and ten thousand instructions.
"We must recruit the Montenegrin army no matter what," he said. He said with the priority of saving his life: "The chief has great opinions, I am afraid that our governor has made a mistake. When I go back, I will definitely report to my governor and let him
My Lord Governor understands the importance of you, Chief."
Zhang Yan said tepidly: "You can come when you want and leave when you want. What do you think of our place? An inn?"
Wei Xu was dumbfounded at the time, and quickly kowtowed and begged: "Big boss, please spare your life. I am a messenger. The two countries are at war. If you don't kill the messenger, you must not kill me. This will ruin your reputation."
"
"It's a joke. Why are two countries at war without killing an envoy? Am I a country? Are you an envoy? We are just a bandit leader and a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered." Zhang Yan said his point of view calmly.
When Wei Xu saw that he had to confess this time, he tried his best to say: "Big Chief, you are a big man who commands thousands of troops. I am just a pawn who spreads the word. Why should you make things difficult for me?"
?As long as you can spare my life, I will definitely keep your interests in mind in this life and I will repay you generously in the future."
When Zhang Yan saw that the fire was almost done, he said: "Wei Xu, you came here with a mission. Even if I let you go, how will you explain to your governor after you return to Bingzhou? And you go back
After that, how are you going to treat our Montenegrin Army?"
When Wei Xu heard this, he was overjoyed. It seemed that he might not have to die. He immediately and respectfully replied: "Don't worry, chief, as long as I can go back, I will definitely tell my governor about your wisdom and martial arts, not ours in Bingzhou."
You can live in such a small place. If my governor blames me, I will resign and find another job. I will never dare to be your enemy."
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "If you don't want to resign, you don't have to. After you go back, you can tell your governor that I, Zhang Yan, know that my crime is too serious and I will be held accountable by the court. In order to
If I don't bring trouble to your governor, I have no choice but to live up to your governor's kindness. But in order to repay your governor's kindness, whenever your governor is assigned to something, as long as it is done in
As long as it is within my ability, I, Zhang Yan, will help your governor securely and securely. Moreover, if your governor is willing to provide our army with rations on a regular basis, then I, Zhang Yan, guarantee that I will reduce my presence in Bingzhou.
of plunder.”
Wei Xu was overjoyed and said in a trembling voice: "I will definitely convey the good intentions of the great leader to my lord. My lord will definitely accept your kindness. If you have no other instructions, then the little man will immediately give this to you."
Please convey the good news to my governor."
Zhang Yan said with a smile: "I am a robber, can I help you for no reason? Should you express your gratitude as well?"
Wei Xu gritted his teeth and said: "The villain was shattered into pieces, and there is no way to repay the great leader's kindness. The villain still has some land and property in Bingzhou. When the villain returns, he will sell it immediately and use it to honor the great leader.
"
Zhang Yan shook her head and said: "How can you put your little land and property in my eyes? Not only will I not take your property, I will also give you a fortune. As long as you pledge allegiance to me
As for my documents, I will let you go back, and I can also help you move to an official position. In addition, I will not reduce your monthly expenses. And you are just revealing some of your military deployment in the state in normal times.
, or just give me relevant information. If you have more outstanding abilities and can make more contributions to me, such as helping us arrange some military supply routes, etc., after we succeed, I will do it again.
Give you a bonus for every action you take."
After hearing what Zhang Yan said, Wei Xu hesitated for a moment and then agreed with gritted teeth. Wei Xu thought to himself: Master, it's not me, Wei Xu, who is sorry for you. The situation is really compelling. If I don't agree now, I will definitely
I can't go back alive, but I promised to get more. I can only blame you, my lord. It's because you can't see the situation clearly, don't overestimate your own capabilities, and try to deceive the troops of the great leader of my family. That's why you deserve this.
Retribution. Moreover, don’t you have another purpose for your lord, the governor Ding Yuan? This is also your retribution.
