Chapter 132 Entering the Game
Yelu was also standing in the tent next to him. He watched the tall, strong and handsome man coming out from the gap. He felt excited in his heart, and he accelerated his advancement. He grabbed the tent pole and raised his buttocks. I couldn't help but hum.
"Don't make a sound." Yelu also hissed, his eyes following the man standing outside the door who seemed to be trying to exhale to suppress his anger.
Yes, angry, it is a man who fights to the death on the battlefield. Only these literati are chirping every day. Yelu is also very aggrieved, but the emperor said that there is no money to fight him, so if you want to fight, you have to go there yourself. Get money, this threat is more serious.
"Your Majesty." Damin opened the curtain of the tent and walked in, saying, "It's ready."
"Well, how were they talking?" Yelu also stepped up his ejaculation a few times, ejaculated inside the big man, and asked.
"Da Zhou is willing to lend five hundred thousand taels of silver and fifty bolts of silk to us, Daliao," Damin replied.
"Humph, how can such a small amount of money be enough? I want them to double it." Yelu also snorted coldly, "Your Majesty, if you want me to make the money myself, then this money will be considered mine."
"Your Majesty, what will happen if Zhao Yinfeng doesn't sit as we arranged for the noon banquet?" Damin asked.
"People in the Zhou Dynasty are most particular about the false etiquette. Don't worry! He will definitely sit there!" Yeluye said with a sinister smile.
"Your Majesty." Another big man hurriedly walked into the camp, saluted Yeluye and said, "Two teams of men and horses came out of Heishui Pass and were stationed on the two wings."
"Oh?" Yelu also touched his chin. Does this mean he doesn't believe in the peace talks at all, and is he ready for a battle? What a pity, Yang Zhao, the two sides really want peace talks this time. How could a guy like you, who only knows how to fight and fight to the death, know the thoughts of the people above.
"Don't worry about them. Ask Shan Fu, Zhang Erhu and the others to press forward." Yeluye leaned into the gap again to look at Zhao Yinfeng and said. Yang Zhao was very cautious in using his troops. He had already mobilized all of Xiao Sui's men from Baigou. If he could defeat them, it would be just right. If he failed to defeat them, it would be easier if Yang Zhao destroyed them.
"General?" Zhao Wei, deputy general of Zhao Yinfeng, asked when he saw his expression of constipation.
Zhao Yinfeng shook his head, always feeling that there was a strange gaze staring at him. Although there were many people staring at him standing outside the camp like this, this gaze just made him uncomfortable. How should I put it? Like being stared at by a snake.
"General, it's better to go in, for Miss Wang's sake." Zhao Wei kindly reminded. No matter how you dislike Wang Qiang's behavior, he is your sweetheart's uncle, so it's not a good idea to offend him.
At the mention of that person, Zhao Yinfeng's face softened, he nodded, turned back to his seat in the tent, and continued to listen with lowered eyebrows.
The peace talks lasted for two hours, and the terms were roughly agreed upon. Dazhou gave one million taels of silver and eight hundred thousand bolts of silk, but these terms had to be taken back to the respective emperors before they signed a formal contract.
But this was considered a major event, and the luncheon that had been postponed for an hour became very lively.
Zhao Yinfeng originally thought that the peace talks would last for a few days, and there was a lot of quarreling and quarrels. How could he know that it was over, and the talks had such a result! It is clear that we, Dazhou, have the advantage now, but we are still asked to pay? Zhao Yinfeng felt very aggrieved. Looking at it like this, he was afraid that they had communicated secretly for a long time. Today it was just a formality, and he was the stupid one who wanted to talk to each other immediately if they couldn't agree. After a fight, he was treated as the second character of the background wall!
No wonder the old man sighed and said, I wish I had half as much scheming as Zhao Mingliang!
Although he was so aggrieved that his head and heart were boiling with anger, Zhao Yinfeng still sat down in his deputy envoy's seat gracefully, watching the group of literati who usually talked about benevolence and sold the country without taking a nap in those beautiful The dancer's face changed after she came up.
Wang Qiang is actually very proud. The bottom line given to him by the cabinet before coming was 3 million, and now he has negotiated for 1.8 million. Well, he has to find a way to get the balance in the middle. He didn't feel annoyed when he saw Zhao Yinfeng's constipated face. He just smiled at him and said, "What? Don't you like it?"
"Master Wang, please excuse me, Yinfeng is not good at this." Zhao Yinfeng said seriously as he pushed away a dancing girl.
Wang Qiang laughed twice. According to him, this man is really good. In order to wait for his brother's daughter to get married, he doesn't have any concubines in the family. It's just a pity. After all, no matter how good you are, you can't get married. He's just a general, how can he compare to that one?
***************
Yang Zhao didn't come last night. Ling Qingyu guessed that something happened at the border, but she still had confidence in Yang Zhao and wasn't too worried, so she decided to send Han Jue over today as planned. The tenants took it to the fields.
"How about later?" Yan San said.
"It's okay, spring plowing waits for no one. The soil over there has been plowed. If we don't plant it in these few days, we will delay the harvest of the whole season. Besides, the place we are going to is in Guan, and we haven't heard any news yet. No It's in the way. Besides, if we finish the work in these few days, we can leave it alone and withdraw everyone. If we wait, we will lose the opportunity." Ling Qingyu said.
Looking at the tenants carrying their burdens outside, Yan San nodded, and went with the steward sent by Han Zong to gather the people and take them to the new land.
The land reclamation order that Han Yu took not only covers plains, but actually has more mountainous areas. The area on the right side of Heishui Pass has been completely plowed by sergeants, but the area on the left has only been plowed. The tenants who came this time mainly came for the plains. The purpose of going up to that piece of land is to sow the seeds in the mountains first, and then go down to the plains.
Ling Qingyu weighed a sweet potato in his hand. Some of the sweet potatoes and potatoes were grown as seedlings and then planted, but some of them were cut into pieces and buried directly in the soil using the simplest method.
Looking at the sweet potatoes in my hands and looking at the sky, well, why not find a place to roast the sweet potatoes? Thinking like this, Ling Qingyu squatted down and picked a few more sweet potatoes from the basket. At this time, there were not as many varieties of sweet potatoes as in later generations. There were no red or purple ones, just the most common ones.
"The manager said that we can finish everything here in three days." Yan San came over and said.
"Yes." Ling Qingyu nodded. Such a rough method does not take much time. If the terraces were not high and dangerous, it would be faster. However, when I chose this place, according to Han Ju, it was not easy to find. If something unexpected happened, it would not be picked up by others. Yes, in fact, these mountainous areas are used for seed fields. To keep them secret and safe, they must not be on plains where people can see them at a glance.
"Shall we go back?" Yan San asked after looking at the sky.
"Wait a minute, let's find a place to roast sweet potatoes and eat them." Ling Qingyu waved the sweet potatoes in his hand and said with a smile.
Yan San smiled helplessly, turned around and asked the four figures to go down the mountain first and prepare the carriage. There were many people today, and Ling Qingyu came in the carriage.
"Third Master, Third Master." Seeing Ling Qingyu wandering around looking for a place to make a fire. There were people around here, so there shouldn't be much danger. Yan San responded to the steward and walked towards him.
******************
Although he was a nice person and had good wine, Wang Qiang did not forget his responsibilities. After eating and drinking, he stood up and left. He wanted to go back as soon as possible and then think about how to get the 1.2 million silver.
The honor guard of the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty was a little crooked because of the banquet just now. Looking at Zhao Yinfeng's cavalry who were still lined up solemnly, Wang Qiang squinted and said: "Then we will set off first. If there is no accident, Brother Tong and I will We will meet in Xiongju.”
The Daliao officials bowed their hands and said hello. After saluting repeatedly, the team set off leisurely.
The honor guard in front was really not very impressive, and the formation was sparse. Zhao Yinfeng frowned and looked at the leader who had no trace in front of him. There were still half of the people behind who had not gone out. He said to Zhao Wei: "Take half of them with you." People go to the front first to clear the way."
"This," Zhao Wei hesitated for a moment, then said yes, and rushed up from both sides with half of the cavalry.
I know that Zhao Wei probably wants to say that he is not compatible with Li, but damn Li, such a dragging team, they can't react if someone blocks them from the middle, or if something happens in front, something happens to Wang Qiang, and in the end... It's not his bad luck.
There was a Daliao official next to him who kept talking to him. Zhao Yinfeng felt that the fire in his chest was getting stronger and stronger. He didn't even listen to what he said. He jumped off his horse and took those staggered Wang Qiang with him. The doorman threw him into the carriage and slapped the horse on the butt. Then he got on his horse and put his hand on the sword.
The anger in this camp was not right. Zhao Yinfeng glanced around and saw that all the knights under him had already grasped their weapons, so he said: "Let's go."
Seeing the team of 400 people slowly and nervously driving out of the camp, Yelu also walked out of the tent, stroking his chin and smiling, Zhao Yinfeng, Zhao Yinfeng, you didn't expect it, did you? I want you to die, but don’t worry, I won’t kill you, I will capture you alive.
After more than ten miles away from the camp in Jiazhuang, Zhao Yinfeng relaxed a little, but when he saw the teams walking slower and slower, he became angry again and said to the guard next to him. : "Go tell them, if this continues, we won't care about them."
"Yes." The guard responded and rode away.
It is estimated that the threat was effective, and those in front accelerated the progress, but only a little faster. Someone else said loudly: "What are you anxious about? The peace talks have been concluded. Is it possible that Daliao still wants to intercept the envoy team?"
Zhao Yinfeng frowned, pinched the horse's belly, and said: "Ignore them, let's go first." He said he was talking about the deputy envoy, but in fact he was doing the job of a bodyguard, but the bodyguard was only Wang Qiang. , as the little official said, as long as Wang Qiang is fine, other people are none of his business.
Four hundred riders galloped away from us. The left-behind retainers looked at each other in shock. One of them wiped his sweat and said, "Your Excellency, you want us to hold General Zhao back. This, this, what should we do?"
The other one also sweated and said, "It shouldn't matter. You see, they went the wrong way."
After galloping for a while, Zhao Yinfeng didn't see the envoy team in front of him. Zhao Yinfeng stopped his horse suddenly, turned around a few times, and asked the guard: "Is this the way we came?"
The guards looked around and found that the elephant did not come the way they came, so they cursed: "No, general, this is not the way we came."
has a problem! Zhao Yinfeng took the horse to the edge and looked into the distance.
They were on a high ground, and there were two roads in front of them. The branches were not very obvious. The one they took was obviously heading up the mountain. Zhao Yinfeng coughed, okay, he took the wrong route again.
Just as he was about to turn around, Zhao Yinfeng stopped again and squinted at the dust rising far down the mountain. It was definitely the trace of the movement of a large number of people.
"General, this is the military flag of the Xiao family!" said a guard.
