Volume 4 Hu Han Cang Qiong Chapter 263 Diplomatic intrigues and intrigues

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Fan Zhi's words shocked the whole palace of Shi Jinjun and his ministers until everyone was speechless. It wasn't that they didn't want to speak, but they really didn't know what to say!

    Before he spoke, Shi Jingtang and Sang Weihan had predicted what Zhang Mai would send Fan Zhi to say. Sang Weihan thought that Zhang Mai was just protesting against Shi Jin's sending troops, and even threatening him.  Whether it's a protest or a threat, Shi Jingtang and Sang Weihan have their own ways of dealing with it.

    But they never expected that Zhang Mai sent Fan Zhi to take the initiative to "help" Shi Jin!

    ——————————

    This time Shi Jingtang sent troops, not to mention a top figure in the world like Zhang Mai, even a bright-eyed person would know that Shi Jingtang is "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance intention is Pei Gong"!

    What do you mean by accepting Yan Yun? Does it require such a big battle to accept Yan Yun?

    But Zhang Mai seemed like a fool and even came to help. He wanted to be Shi Jin's backing and help Shi Jingtang take over Yan Yun!

    ????????????Isn’t it like helping others count their money when they come to beat you?

    ——————————

    In an instant, Sang Weihan was sweating down his back!

    Of course Zhang Mai is not a fool!  This seemingly idiotic behavior relies on righteousness every word.

    "Chinese land, as long as it returns to China, everything will be easy."

    This kind of upright diplomatic discourse is in line with Zhang Mai’s long-standing political views, and makes people listen without feeling out of place.

    "At the moment, Yan Yun's return to China is the most important thing. As for returning to Tang Dynasty and Jin Dynasty, we can not discuss it for the time being."

    This is the first pitfall!

    "If the Khitan is sincere and unconditional in returning Yan Yun to Jin, my Lord is optimistic about its success"

    This is the second pitfall. The pitfall lies in the word "unconditional"!

    "I am willing to use the soldiers and horses of Chilechuan to assist the Jin army and monitor the territory delivered by Khitan (As long as Shi Jingtang agrees), our country will be an ally of the Jin Dynasty. The sweat and blood cavalry regiment of Chilechuan will be the key to your country's army to regain Yanyun.  backing!"

    This is the third pit!

    ——————————

    As the person in charge of the diplomatic mediation with the Khitan, Sang Weihan naturally knows better than anyone else that this military operation is just a cloak of accepting Yan Yun, but the essence is underneath the cloak.  It was the Khitan and Shi Jin who jointly launched a military operation against Tiance and the Tang Dynasty. The so-called righteousness of accepting Yan Yun to restore the country was just a cover.

    But Zhang Mai pretended to be stupid, and "really believed" that Shi Jingtang was acting in a righteous manner, and he also came to help, and he helped unconditionally. He was more generous than anyone else, but in fact he wanted to expose Shi Jingtang's layer of comparison.  A paper-thin disguise!

    You, Shi Jingtang, said that you went north to take back Yanyun, okay.  Then I'll collect it for you.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Don't hit the smiling man, facing the Tiance Tang Army who is not prepared to get involved in Yan Yun, but wants to take the initiative to help, if Shi Jin's army still wants to attack, in what name will it be used?  How can I explain to my countrymen that I have lost my reputation for justice and launched a forceful attack?  It's okay if you rely on the strong to bully the weak, but if you want to attack Tiance who is more powerful than yourself, you are demoralizing yourself and looking for abuse!

    This is the first level of intention.

    Shi Jingtang is like pushing the boat along with the current.  If you really accept Tiance's help, then the secret alliance between Liao and Jin will be broken!  after all.  The trust between Khitan and Shi Jin is not that strong. If the trust between Yelu Deguang and Shi Jingtang can be as strong as Zhang Mai and Yang Yi, they can naturally play whatever they want, but between Liao and Jin  But the relationship was already tense, if Shi Jingtang wanted to get Yan Yun without paying any price.  It is impossible for the Khitan to agree to it. If the Khitan refuses and the Jin army takes it by force, it will lose an ally and gain a powerful enemy at the same time.

    This is the second level of intention.

    So if Shi Jingtang ignores the righteousness and justice, and finally insists on attacking Tiance according to the secret agreement with the Khitan, it will be under the current situation.  I am afraid that I will once again push myself into the position of the public enemy of China!

    This is the third level of intention!

    Sang Weihan hated Zhang Mai so much in an instant!

    ——————————

    Shi Jingtang was also at a loss at this moment.

    He is also a hero of the generation, and he has done a lot of intrigues and intrigues.  But when it comes to diplomatic intrigues in international competition, the Chinese have regressed greatly since the Warring States Period!

    Why regress?  Because the country is unified, the surrounding countries are either barbarians who have not yet entered the civilized circle, or small countries that have no countervailing power at all. To deal with the barbarians, you can only resist with force. To deal with the small Zuoer countries, just use your strength to crush them and occasionally show some kindness.  Just like that, within a thousand years, although there were special periods like the Three Kingdoms, they were not the mainstream of history. Most of the time there was no environment for diplomatic practice. Without practice,Suddenly regressed.

    When Shi Jingtang was secretly fighting for the world with Li Congke, his forbearance, blackness, poison, and spicy methods were not inferior to Sima Yi's, but when it came to international negotiations, his methods were incompetent. From Zhang Mai's point of view, even if Shi Jingtang wanted to borrow troops from the Khitan, if he had  Being able to be calmer and more flexible may not necessarily have to pay as heavy a price as the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture - the Yanyun Cutoff not only cost Shi Jingtang his population and land, but also reduced his foundation for winning the country in one fell swoop.  The damage was all done. If not, he wouldn't have dared to send troops confidently. Now he was picked up by Zhang Mai and he was trapped and unable to get out.

    ——————————

    "The borrowing and receiving of Yan Yun is an agreement between the two of us and Liu Dejin. Marshal Zhang will not worry about it."

    After a brief period of silence, Shi Jingtang finally refused.  Of course, although the silence was brief, Shi Jingtang's embarrassment was still visible in the eyes of Feng Dao and others.

    Sang Weihan was relieved. Since Shi Jingtang was willing to express his position, he could continue to help.

    Fan Zhidao: "My lord does not dare to interfere with the agreement between the king and others, but there is a saying: people who are not of my race will have different minds! Khitans are beasts, how can beasts have any faith? My lord is afraid of the country of the gentlemen in the Central Plains.  , and being plotted by the country of beasts, we care that although we are separated from the east and west, we are connected by blood, so we are not afraid of the danger, and we are willing to do our best as a country to help!"

    Sang Weihan said: "We, the Jin Dynasty, are a great country. We have our own opinions and do not need the interference of border vassals."

    Fan Zhi made a sound and said: "How come my lord's good intentions fell into the mouth of Ambassador Sang and turned into interference?"

    Sang Weihan laughed and said: "If you really have good intentions, your country will not take advantage of the chaos to send people northward and separatist forces between Shuo and Ying."

    Fan Zhi smiled and said: "Shuozhou Yingzhou. It was not taken from Jin, but from Hu. And at that time, I didn't know that your lord had a secret agreement with the Khitan that he had never told anyone" He intentionally or unintentionally told the secret agreement between the two.  The words are stuck.  Especially the four words "never told anyone" are almost clearly marked as "unspeakable"!

    Sang Weihan knew what Fan Zhi meant, and said coldly: "Now that I know it, what should I do?"

    Fan Zhidao: "My Lord said, the Tang Dynasty is also the Jin Dynasty. The rise and fall of the family is also a surname. The rise and fall of the family and the country are the responsibility of the king and his ministers. Yan Yun is related to the rise and fall of China, and the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of every man!"

    When he said this, he paused, but these eight words were so powerful that Zhang Mai came out through Fan Zhi's mouth a thousand years in advance. Not to mention Feng Dao, Liu Yu, Zhao Ying and others present,  Even Li Song was shocked.  Sang Weihan also felt an inexplicable panic in his chest.

    Fan Zhi continued: "Therefore, the most important thing at present is to restore the territory. For this reason, my Lord is willing to put the overall situation first. As long as the Lord of your country says a word, our army is willing to withdraw from Yingzhou and Shuozhou."

    Before Sang Weihan could speak, Feng Dao rushed to ask: "What does Zhang Longxiang want my master to say?" Sang Weihan glared at Feng Dao when he heard this!  Feng Dao seemed unaware.

    Fan Zhidao: "Let's unite to deal with the outside world and stop fighting for the time being!"

    Feng Dao turned to Shi Jingtang and said: "Your Majesty, Heaven's plan is feasible. This proposal should be carried out! I ask your Majesty to temporarily suspend the war with the Western Fan for the sake of the world's righteousness."

    Sang Weihan shouted angrily: "Feng Dao! How brave are you! Who is your heart for?"

    Feng Dao said solemnly: "My heart is naturally towards the world, towards China, towards the people, and towards the emperor!" He then pointed to Sang Weihan and shouted: "But you, serving the Khitan, are afraid that you will not be flattered, and you are afraid that the country will be divided too quickly.  If the country is trapped in incompetence and the ruler is trapped in injustice, who is your heart heading towards? To China or to the Khitan?"

    Sang Weihan accused Feng Dao.  That means that he secretly communicated with Tiance and was not loyal to Shi Jingtang, but this is something that can be understood but cannot be expressed in words.  Feng Dao accused Sang Weihan, but he meant every word of it. He didn't need to understand it and just scolded him directly!  Sang Weihan could instigate Shi Jingtang to be suspicious of Feng Dao, but he was unable to confront Feng Dao and was blocked for a while, unable to speak.

    Shi Jingtang shouted: "That's enough! It's unbecoming to make such a fuss in front of outsiders!"

    Feng Daosang Weihan hurriedly knelt down in the tunnel and said: "I am guilty!"

    Shi Jingtang stared at the smiling Fan Zhi coldly and said, "I'm tired, who can lead the Western envoy down to rest."

    As soon as Zhao Ying heard this, she stood up and took the order - he knew the danger here and didn't want to get involved.

    Fan Zhi bowed to Shi Jingtang and said, "I can exchange for the sixteen states with just one sentence. Please think twice, the king."

    Shi Jingtang snorted and waved in return.

    ——————————

    After Fan Zhi retreated, Shi Jingtang waited for Feng Dao, almost pointing at his nose and said: "Feng Dao! What benefits did Zhang Mai promise you? You have to speak for him!"

    Feng Dao's body trembled, and he prostrated himself in the tunnel and said: "Your Majesty! Don't listen to the villain's slanderous words and instigations! I am a minister with a very powerful position, who can give me any benefits! I am in the position of TaifuThose who have liaisons with foreign countries are seeking death.  Since Bo Pu Yin Jian is here, I am familiar with history books, how can I not know?  The minister's words are not for Heaven's policy, but for His Majesty's planning.  "

    "Plan for me?"

    "Yes! This time our country sends troops, although it is said to accept Yanyun, why does it require such a battle to accept Yanyun? I secretly think that the Khitan must have other conditions."

    Shi Jingtang snorted, Feng Dao's body seemed to be trembling, but his voice remained calm: "But no matter what the Khitan's intentions are, the current situation is not good for them and good for me! The two tigers of Khitan and Tiance are fighting, and I am afraid  Jin Zheng can reap the benefits! The so-called temporary cessation of war will have a lot to do for a while! Why not just promise it, and when Yan Yun gets it, then the national defense line will be complete, the people will be invigorated, and there will be mountains and rivers to the north and west.  Who are you afraid of coming?"

    When Shi Jingtang heard Yan Yun's victory, the national defense is intact, and the people's morale is uplifted, his heart couldn't help but his eyes softened when he looked at Feng Dao.

    Sang Weihan was anxious and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, no! If we go back on our word, even if we are defeated by Yan Yun, the covenant between me and the Khitan will be broken! Once the covenant is broken, it will be difficult to restore the old relationship."

    Feng Dao sneered and said: "It's bad! The Khitan has lost Mobei, and Yang Yi will definitely go south recently. When the two armies clash, the Khitan will be seriously injured even if it does not perish. As long as the Jin Dynasty takes back Yanyun, then  Why bother with a ruined country!"

    Sang Weihan said: "Even a ruined country is better than a victorious country! A ruined country can be aided, but a victorious country is formidable! Although the Khitan is a barbarian, I and the Khitan can coexist.  We are Han. We and I are incompatible with each other! What about family, country and world, and what about the great righteousness of China! Only after we have secured the world can we be qualified to talk about great righteousness! If the country is destroyed, the family is destroyed, the body is in prison, and the life is in the hands of others, even if it is occupied  What’s the use of righteousness in the world!”

    These words woke up Shi Jingtang!

    Feng Dao didn’t expect that Sang Weihan would dare to speak to this extent. He pointed at him angrily and said: "Sang Guoqiao. If these words are included in the history books, do you know what kind of infamy you will get!"

    Sang Weihan also felt a sense of regret in his heart. If he hadn't been forced to do this by the situation, he wouldn't have said such extreme words. But now that he had said it all, it was like overflowing with water, and he had no choice but to bite the bullet and fight to the end: "That's it.  It doesn’t matter to me that I have been reviled for thousands of years. I only want to be loyal to His Majesty! In fact, as early as the Yanyun War, I knew that under the Qing Dynasty, I was definitely going to stink! Since I already stink, don’t think about being fragrant.  Just break the jar and throw it away! As long as we can protect our country, our descendants will write the history books in the future. If our country is not protected, even if we get a few good reviews now, we will be as stupid as Duke Xianggong of Song Dynasty in the future!"

    His last few words seemed to be talking about himself, but they were actually talking to Shi Jingtang: We are already covered in shit.  Sometimes it’s okay to cover up, but don’t think you can still smell good!  At this point, it would be unreasonable to argue verbally with Zhang Mai about justice.  It is better to keep the country.

    Feng Dao knelt down to Shi Jingtang again and said: "Your Majesty! Tiance pretended to be generous, don't you know? But now that they have spoken, if I try to unite with Hu to attack Han again, I will only give them a handle! Zhang Mai  If we continue to add fuel to the flames, people in the world will turn against me, the Jin Dynasty! Confucius said: If the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, things will be difficult to achieve! Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also said: Water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it! The world  If the hearts and minds of the people return to Your Majesty, the country is as strong as iron, who can take it! If the people's hearts turn away, the iron country will collapse from the inside! I am not only planning for Your Majesty's future, but also planning for Your Majesty's immediate immediate tasks! I am loyal,  The sun can tell. Your Majesty, Fu Wei, knows it clearly!"

    These few words made Liu Xuan nod his head, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, what Prime Minister Feng said is the way to be loyal and upright to the country! If the words of an overseas Chinese from the Sang country are like excrement, the stench is indescribable! May your Majesty accept loyalty and reject adultery, no matter what  Bewitched by traitorous ministers!"

    Sang Weihan sneered and said: "Bewitched? Who is bewitching! Although my words are bad, I am honest and honest. Although you are sages, you have ulterior motives! With the current situation, Yang Yifang broke through Mobei, and his troops were unstoppable! He swept down.  , if he is allowed to destroy the Khitan again, who can compete with him at that time? Even if we win Yan Yun, we will not be able to defend it! Once Yang Yi leads the Mobei cavalry to the south, Zhang Mai leads the Ganliang soldiers to the east, and the two sides will attack  , if there is no longer any Khitan to restrain us, how can we resist at that time? Isn’t it generous for Zhang Mai to give Yan Yun to us? It is just a sacrifice of small things for the big one in the name of China! For the current plan, we must help Khitan to hold back Tiance  The hind legs will confuse Tiance's Northern Expedition. If Yang Yi is defeated, Tiance's strength will be greatly reduced even if there is no civil strife. Only then will our Jin Dynasty have room to recuperate! As for the Yanyun sixteen states, they are just easy-going bait!  You can use this as a little bait to put yourself in danger of national subjugation!"

    After all, Shi Jingtang was still a decisive hero. When he heard this, he stood up suddenly and said: "I don't care how the history books of future generations will be written! Since ancient times, the only people who have conquered the world are those with strong soldiers and horses!"

    Feng Dao was surprised and said: "Your Majesty, these heroic words,This is not what the Holy Lord should say!  "

    Shi Jingtang said: "I know Mr. Feng is also loyal to me, but due to the current situation, there are some things that we have to do!"

    Feng Dao fell to the ground and sobbed: "Ah! I occupy the position of the three princes and cannot assist your majesty to become the sage king of Yao and Shun. Instead, I put your majesty in a dilemma. I am guilty!"

    When he said something guilty, two lines of old tears flowed down. When Sang Weihan saw it, he cursed in his heart.

    Seeing Feng Dao crying with tears on the wrinkles on his cheeks, Shi Jingtang couldn't help but feel a little moved. He left his seat and helped him up and said: "In troubled times, it is difficult for me to be the emperor, and it is difficult for you to be the prime minister!"

    Feng Daodao: "The way the world is, I can only do my best. Your Majesty's difficulties cannot be solved with two words. Your Majesty's difficulties are beyond the reach of your Majesty!"

    Shi Jingtang sighed: "Old Changle is my close friend!"

    ————————————

    After the ministers retired, Sang Weihan asked him to stay alone and said, "Your Majesty, Feng Dao is a traitor!"

    Shi Jingtang pondered, not letting Sang Weihan continue, and said: "I know you are doing your best for me, but I can't live without you, and the Jin Dynasty cannot live without Feng Dao. The Central Plains is now like a big ship with leaks everywhere.  Without him at the helm, I’m afraid it will be difficult!”

    ————————————

    When Feng Dao returned home, Liu Xumi said to him: "Unexpectedly, His Majesty is so decisive. It seems that a battle between northern Shanxi and Tiance is inevitable. Fan Wensu's mission this time has been in vain!"

    Feng Daodao: "Tang and Jin are at odds with each other. There is no basis for cooperation compared to Sun and Liu. Let alone Fan Wensu, even if Zhuge Wuhou is resurrected, there is no way to turn around."

    Liu Yu said: "Wen Su returned without success. I'm afraid his evaluation will drop when he returns to China in the future."

    "Not necessarily!" Feng Dao said: "How can Zhang Longxiang hope that Fan Wensu can turn the tide in this situation? He must have other arrangements for the battlefield. Fan Wensu's eastward journey is not for the present, but for the present.  It’s the future.”

    "In the future?" Liu Xi's eyes narrowed, and then he said with a smile: "For the future! I understand, it is to expose Shi's ugliness to the world! Force him to be unable to cover up and justify himself!"

    "Exactly!" Feng Dao said: "If you really want to do the best for the two alliances, then you have to send someone who can argue skillfully. Fan Wensu has a profound academic foundation, and sending him here should be for a longer-term plan.  "

    Liu Yu added: "But this will force your majesty to be more determined. If our army attacks Tiance from northern Shanxi, it will be difficult for the sweat and blood cavalry regiment in Chilechuan to protect themselves. How can they call for help from the Eagles?"  Yang? What if something goes wrong in the battle at Linhuang Mansion"

    "That is beyond the scope of our consideration." Feng Dao said: "I guess Zhang Longxiang's martial arts team has other plans."

    ——————————

    In April of the seventh year of Tiance, when Zhang Mai decided to go north to Chilechuan, when Yang Yi's army had just left the banks of the Luju River, when Fan Zhicai had entered Luoyang City, when Gao Xingzhou's silver spear and white horse had just arrived in northern Shanxi, Ping An  There is movement on the other side of the city!

    Xue Fu finally took action!

    The Sweat Blood Cavalry Regiment suddenly stood up.  The army moved eastward—not to the northeast toward Linhuang Mansion, but to the due east!

    The troops are approaching Yunzhou!

    The main force of the Sweat Blood Cavalry Regiment met up with Dangxiang troops who had been threatening Yunzhou outside the site of the Great Wall.  Soldiers arrived at the former site of the Great Wall.  More than 40,000 people and 150,000 horses came overwhelmingly, marching into the Great Wall and approaching the outskirts of Yunzhou!

    Another partial army led by Li Yixiu captured Jiaoshan in the northwest of Yunzhou. With the spread of the message, northern Shanxi suddenly became turbulent.  The ten counties in the country changed their flags!

    ——————————

    Hearing this news, several parties involved were overjoyed!

    ——————————

    Cao Yuanzhong said to Cao Yangong: "I was originally worried that Xue Fu would be desperate, but now it seems that he still has some sense. This is the best, this is the best!"

    Cao Yangong said: "This is best for uncle. It is also best for our Cao family!"

    Cao Yuanzhong couldn't help but smile, but he slapped his nephew and said: "Nonsense! Although Xue Fu and I have different political views, we are both for the country! It's just that Yang and Xue are in a hurry, but I feel that the country  The bigger the stakes are, the more stability is needed. Why do we have to kill people in war when we can gain benefits through peace talks?”

    Cao Yangong quickly bowed and said, "Uncle, thank you, nephew!"

    In fact, Cao Yangong learned another lesson from the smile on the corner of Cao Yuanzhong's mouth. He knew that even in private situations, he had to speak openly and openly. It is best to talk openly and openly in his sleep. Only in this way can he be a qualified political family.

    ——————————Not only was Cao Yuanzhong happy, but Bai Chengfu was also happy, so much so that he set up a Tang-character banner on his camp, regardless of the An family's dissuasion and the bet Zhe Deqin had just made with An Chongrong.

    Although Zhe De was secretly worried about the overall situation, he was actually happy in his heart, because the chaos in northern Shanxi gave him a place to be useful.

    Yelu's house owner was even more happy and said to Xiao Shali: "Looking at the days, Yang Yi may have already set off. As long as we hold back Xue Fu, we will be successful!"

    But everyone's happiness was hidden. Yelu Wuzhi sent someone to inform Gao Xingzhou and Shi Chonggui, asking them to advance quickly. He said that he would only defend the land for the Jin army for ten days. After ten days, "If Yunzhou  If it fell into Tiance’s hands first, we can’t blame it!”

    At the same time, Yelvwuzhi sent someone to invite Cao Yuanzhong and asked: "Since our two countries want peace talks, why did Ping'an City suddenly send troops to Yunzhou? Is this the sincerity of your country's peace talks?" He obviously wanted Xue Fu to come back.  But he still had to use words to control Cao Yuanzhong.

    Cao Yuanzhong said with a smile: "The Liao Dynasty ceded Shuozhou to Shi Jin, what kind of sincerity was it, we marched into Yunzhou, that's what kind of sincerity it is! The so-called courtesy exchanges are just mutual."

    Yelu Wuzhi sneered and said, "Brother Cao said that because he doesn't want to talk anymore?"

    Cao Yuanzhong smiled and said, "If you don't want to talk, I won't come today."

    "In this case, I would like to ask Brother Cao to write a letter asking General Xue to withdraw his troops quickly so as to avoid harming the reconciliation between our two families."

    "Okay!" Cao Yuanzhong said: "Do you want me to go back and revise the book, or do you want me to revise the book in person?"

    Yelvwu said: "It would be best if I could revise the book in person!" He ordered pen, ink, paper and inkstone to serve him.

    Cao Yuanzhong picked up his pen and wrote in front of Yelu Wuzhi: "Yunzhou is empty and can be surrounded or attacked."

    Yelu Wuzhi said angrily: "Brother Cao, you are just here to amuse me!"

    Cao Yuanzhong laughed and said: "The letter is here. It's up to you whether to send it or not."

    Yelu Wuzhi thought for a moment and then sent someone to escort him out of the city.

    Cao Yuanzhong said: "Brother Wu Zhi is indeed a man with great vision."

    Yelvwuzhi chuckled, turned away from the others, and said: "I, the Khitan, don't have to give up Yunzhou. Even if it is Youzhou, I can still make the decision and give it to Brother Cao for promotion at the appropriate time! You Han people have an ancient poem: throw  Give me peaches and give me Qiong Yao. I wonder how Brother Cao can repay me?"

    Cao Yuanzhong said: "I don't know what brother Wu Zhi wants."

    Yeluwu asked: "In these troubled times, good and bad fortunes are unpredictable. I heard that Lianglan is prosperous in business and travel. I have a fortune and want to ask Brother Cao to find a reliable person to live on my behalf. As a way to protect me in case of emergency in the future."  A way out.”

    Cao Yuanzhong smiled and said: "This is easy! But in this chaos, how to transport materials?"

    Yeluwu asked: "Not long ago, some merchants from Tiance entered the country. I wanted to repatriate a group of them on the grounds of war, so I entrusted my family property to them. I just don't know if I will be plundered by soldiers and horses when I go west at this time."

    Cao Yuanzhong put his hand on his palm and smiled and said: "Wonderful, wonderful! Brother Wu Zhi, don't worry, our Tiance Tang Army is very protective of legal business travel, which is one of the reasons why business travel within our territory is prosperous. But things must be done quickly, don't wait until the city is actually besieged.  At that time, it would be difficult for these business travelers to go west."

    ——————————

    After Cao Yuanzhong left, Han Deshu and Han Kuangsi came out. Han Kuangsi looked at Yelu Wuzhi with incredible expression in his eyes, but Han Deshu smiled and said: "I also have a small amount of resources, and I want to support Brother Wuzhi's Dongfeng."

    Yelu Wuzhi pouted and said, "It's just a little trick to strengthen his heart."

    ——————————

    Cao Yuanzhong returned to live and told his nephew what had happened. Cao Yangong said disdainfully: "Hu'er is indeed unfaithful and unjust. The country is about to be destroyed, and he still thinks about his own interests!"

    Cao Yuanzhong smiled and said: "Not necessarily, it's just that we hold some dirty things in each other's hands, so things will go more smoothly."

    ——————————

    The letters sent by Yelu Wuzhi traveled very quickly, and Yanmenguan and Gao Xingzhou received them almost at the same time.

    When Gao Xingzhou saw the letter, he ordered the camp to break out.

    His son Gao Huaide said: "Dad, at any other time, I would have wished to have a showdown with the Sweat and Blood Cavalry Regiment! But now they are forcing the Khitans. If we go to fight them, we are just relieving the Khitans in disguise."  , you will be stabbed in the spine by the heroes of the world!"

    Gao Xingzhou said: "I don't want to fight either! But the Khitans have made it clear. They will only defend the soil for ten days, and then let go."

    Gao Huaide said: "Just talking, will they really abandon the city?"

    “???I don’t understand!  Gao Xingzhou said: "In the battle in Guanzhong last year, Xue Fu went straight to the heart of the country and captured the three armies. How could Xiao Juli be Xue Fu's enemy?"  With Xiao Juli guarding Yunzhou, he had no intention of blocking Xue Fu, he just wanted to buy time.  "

    Gao Huaide said: "Since they want to drag it, let's drag it with them!"

    "They can delay it, but we can't." Gao Xingzhou sighed: "Once the ten-day deadline comes out, if I still can't delay it, once the deadline expires, Yunzhou will really fall into the hands of Tiance. Your Majesty will grant mercy."  If you can't help mewell, I'm afraid that before your majesty doesn't spare me, the commander will have sent someone to take my head."
