Chapter 131 Lao Tzu is a robber
Chapter 131 Lao Tzu is a robber
Jin Hu finally left the country of Jiaozhi.
This butcher, who had already left a severe psychological wound on the Cochins, finally left Cochin.
The first performance of the Jiaozhi people was to divide half of their forces to deal with Zhang Bingzhong, who was rampage through the territory of Jiaozhi.
Just as Jin Hu began to slowly approach the army led by the king of Champa City, Yun Meng, as the prince of the Yun family, summoned Ruan Tiancheng and Zheng Weiyong in Cotton Tree Mountain.
Regarding Yun Meng's self-proclaimed princely identity, neither Ruan Tiancheng nor Zheng Weiyong doubted the authenticity of this identity.
After all, as the uncle of Emperor Yun Zhao of the Ming Dynasty, it is natural for them to have the status of a prince.
It is because of this identity that Ruan Tiancheng and Zheng Weiyong do not pay attention to it.
Therefore, within the time specified by Yun Meng, these two people arrived at Cotton Tree Mountain with their respective armies.
At this time, it is the spring day of Cochin, and the red kapok is blooming all over the mountains, especially in the area of the Kapok Mountain, the kapok is in full swing.
Yun Meng, who had gray hair, was dressed in a purple robe and was sitting on a huge thick blanket waiting for Ruan Tiancheng and Zheng Weiyong to arrive.
His figure itself is tall, coupled with the unique loud voice of the Guanzhong people, even if Ruan Tiancheng and Zheng Weiyong are still ten zhang away, they have already felt the kindness of this old man.
Although Ruan Tiancheng and Zheng Weiyong are hostile, in the course of years of fighting, the two have actually figured out each other's temperament, and if it weren't for the fact that there is no way to reconcile the interests of the two forces, they are likely to become friends.
Yun Meng sat alone under the unobstructed kapok tree, and was waving to Zheng Weiyong at Ruan Tiancheng, who was walking slowly from a distance.
Ruan Tiancheng jumped down from his war horse, looked at Zheng Weiyong, who was only ten zhang away from him, and shouted, "Brother Zheng, please come closer." ”
Zheng Weiyong, who was riding on a horse, said: "Why don't Brother Ruan come forward and talk about it?" ”
Ruan Tiancheng opened his arms to show Zheng Weiyong that he was not armed, and took the initiative to walk forward two feet away, as far as the current situation is concerned, Zhang Bingzhong is wreaking havoc in the north of Jiaozhi, that is, Ruan's territory, Ruan Tiancheng and Daming's desire to make peace is far more urgent than Zheng Weiyong, so he took the lead in showing his sincerity.
Although the envoys of the two had consulted countless times before coming to Kapok Mountain, the matter was too big for Ruan Tiancheng to be imprudent, and before he obtained Zheng Weiyong's personal promise, his heart was unstable.
Zheng Weiyong saw that Ruan Tiancheng had left his brigade, so he also got off his horse, first bowed his hand to Yun Meng who was ten zhang away to apologize, and then approached Ruan Tiancheng two zhang.
"With Kapok Mountain as the boundary, we will each establish our own country, what does Brother Zheng think?"
Zheng Weiyong glanced at Yun Meng, who was pouring himself a drink, and said, "Brother Ruan, is he ready to follow the advice of Prince Mingguo?" ”
Ruan Tiancheng shook his head and said: "The two of us don't have to say anything about interests at this time, if the people of the Ming Kingdom don't leave, we won't be able to talk about interests." ”
Zheng Weiyong said: "You mean, we will first drive the Ming people out of Jiaozhi State, and then talk about our respective interests?" ”
Ruan Tiancheng said: "We must get the edict of the emperor of the Ming Kingdom, only by getting the edict of the division of the seal, can we rightfully replace the Li Dynasty, if there is no recognition of the suzerainty of the Ming State, our relationship with the Ming State cannot be normal."
This time, there was a Ming bandit Zhang Bingzhong who came to trouble me, and then the Ming army pursued him, whether it was Zhang Bingzhong or the prince of the Ming Kingdom, they all came with bad intentions.
At this moment, if we can't work together, my Nguyen family's present is a lesson for your Zheng family. ”
Whether it is Ruan Tiancheng or Zheng Weiyong, they are battle-hardened heroes, and decisions are often made in a thought.
Zheng Weiyong understood that Zhang Bingzhong's raid in the north of Jiaozhi had come to an end, and if this Ming thief wanted to leave Jiaozhi, one would go straight to Siam, which was strong and strong, from the north, which was very difficult, and the other direction was the poor and weak Nanzhang State.
Zhang Bingzhong's troops, who had already received sufficient supplies in the north of Cochin, would definitely not fight against Siam, which had a large number of war elephants, at this time, and the southern state of Nanzhang, which was close to the south of Cochin, would be the best place to settle down.
In other words, Zhang Bingzhong will come to weave the south, continue to plunder for a while, and then enter the south to take charge of the country.
Thinking of this, Zheng Weiyong said: "Okay, let's continue to cooperate, first get the Ming people away, and then work together to deal with Zhang Bingzhong." ”
Ruan Tiancheng took out a sparkling bead from his arms and held it in the palm of his hand and said to Zheng Weiyong: "The people of the Ming Kingdom are greedy, and if they want to get them away, I am afraid that they will not achieve their goal without paying a large price." ”
Zheng Weiyong greedily looked at the 'Nantianzhu' in Ruan Tiancheng's hand, and also took out a green square jade from his arms and held it in the palm of his hand and said: "Originally, I wanted to carve a jade seal with this jade, but now it seems that I can't keep it." ”
Ruan Tiancheng smiled bitterly and said, "Let's get through the current level first!" ”
After speaking, the two glanced at each other, and walked together under the kapok tree where Yun Meng was, and at the same time, the two armies led by them retreated a hundred zhang respectively, bowed and wound one by one, and watched Yun Meng under the kapok tree from a distance with their knives unsheathed, as long as there was a slight mistake, they were ready to rush over as fast as possible.
Zheng Weiyong and Ruan Tiancheng came to Yun Meng, neither of them spoke, but respectfully offered the two treasures of 'Nan Tianzhu' and 'Cuifang' in front of Yun Meng.
Yun Meng took a sip of tea, looked at the two treasures in front of him, and said lightly: "The gift is thin." ”
Ruan Tiancheng said with a smile: "This is the intention of the prince, as for His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Ruan family is willing to sacrifice 100,000 taels of gold to thank the Ming army for coming to me to fight bandits." ”
Zheng Weiyong also followed: "The Zheng family not only has 100,000 taels of gold, but also five teams of beauties, filling His Majesty's harem. ”
Yun Meng asked the boy to give Ruan Tiancheng, Zheng Weiyong poured a cup of tea and said: "Sit down and talk, I hope that after the two of you get the edict of separation, for the sake of the people of Jiaozhi, there will be no more fighting."
Since they are all heroes and both need a foundation, wouldn't it be better to divide the cochin equally, and each one is the master?
I just don't know that with Kapok Mountain as the boundary, does the Zheng family agree? I heard that you fought for Kapok Mountain, but you suffered a lot of casualties. ”
Zheng Weiyong, who had just sat down, looked at Ruan Tiancheng, gritted his teeth and said, "Kapok Mountain was originally the ancestral land of my Zheng family, how can it be easily conceded to others......
Yun Meng said happily: "Ah, it turns out that you don't agree, we can discuss this matter slowly, don't worry, with my Daming mediating for you, there will always be a foolproof solution." ”
Zheng Weiyong gritted his teeth and said: "Since the Prince of Shangguo has already drawn up the boundary of Kapok Mountain, even if the Zheng family is reluctant, they will follow the opinion of the Prince of Shangguo and take Kapok Mountain as the boundary!" ”
Yun Meng said unhappily: "You agreed, this is your ancestral land." ”
Zheng Weiyong closed his eyes painfully and said, "Agreed." ”
Yun Meng wanted to speak again, ready to provoke the disgruntled Zheng Weiyong, but he heard Ruan Tiancheng, who was sitting on the side, say: "Just take Kapok Mountain as the boundary, but I, Ruan, am not an unreasonable person."
The Ruan clan did not dare to invade the ancestral land of the Zheng family, and the Ruan clan was willing to retreat thirty miles and assign these lands to the Zheng clan to support the ancestral land of the Zheng family. ”
Yun Meng looked at Ruan Tiancheng puzzled and said, "Are you willing to retreat thirty miles?" Don't want Kapok to turn off? ”
Ruan Tiancheng looked at Yun Meng and said: "What the prince said is that in order for the people of Jiaozhi to live and work in peace and contentment, the Ruan family is willing to make some concessions, so that the Zheng family and the Ruan family can completely calm down." ”
Yun Meng looked up at the rare blue sky, sighed slightly, and said, "Then offer the gift and prepare to receive the order." ”
Zheng Weiyong and Ruan Tiancheng glanced at each other again, and at the same time raised their arms, and the army outside saw that the independent monarch gave a signal, and soon twenty ox carts walked out of the army, and at the same time, there were ten teams of women wearing curtain fences and gauze clothes.
Yun Meng glanced at the ox cart and the beauty, and sighed: "It's a loss." ”
Ruan Tiancheng said: "From this year onwards, every time His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty celebrates his birthday, Jiaozhi will definitely make a contribution. ”
Zheng Weiyong also followed: "From this year onwards, every time His Majesty the Ming Emperor celebrates his birthday, Annan will also make a contribution. ”
Yun Meng laughed and said: "100,000 taels of gold every year, so many beauties? ”
Ruan Tiancheng looked at Yun Meng expressionlessly and said, "A thousand taels of gold, a pair of beauties, and a pair of jade." ”
Zheng Weiyong also said coldly: "The same goes for Annan." ”
Yun Meng said angrily: "Are you called Hanako as a beggar for food?" ”
Zheng Weiyong raised his head and looked at Yun Meng and said: "Most of Annan is a land of smoke and miasma, a thousand taels of gold, and Annan is already serving His Majesty the Ming Emperor with all his heart." ”
While Zheng Weiyong was speaking, Ruan Tiancheng also looked up at Yun Meng, his gaze was very unkind, it seemed that this was really the limit of what they could bear.
Yun Meng picked up the teacup and said, "That's good, the old man reluctantly accepted it." ”
Zheng Weiyong and Ruan Tiancheng did not move, ignoring the teacup in front of them.
Yun Meng said angrily: "The old man is the dignified Prince of Ming, will he be a junior who plots against you?" ”
After speaking, he took Ruan Tiancheng, and drank the teacups in front of Zheng Weiyong one by one, and then paused the teacups in front of the two of them, and personally poured tea into the three cups and said: "You guys are cheap, don't cry like a dead father, drink this cup of tea, and that's it." ”
Seeing that Yun Meng lifted the teacup in front of him and drank it all again, Ruan Tiancheng and Zheng Weiyong also gritted their teeth and drank the teacup.
Twenty ox carts and ten teams of beauties have come to the red cotton tree, and the soldiers responsible for transporting these soldiers have also slowly returned to the team, Zheng Weiyong and Ruan Tiancheng sat in place and waited for Yun Meng to read the edict.
Yun Meng looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "There are two people who want to see you, if you don't see you at this time, it is estimated that you won't be able to see you." ”
A flock of birds and finches suddenly flew up from the red and fiery kapok forest behind him, Ruan Tiancheng looked at the kapok forest in horror, pointed at Yun Meng and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Yun Meng smiled fiercely: "The old man is not a prince, he is a robber, hahaha, since you are here today, do you still want to leave alive?" ”
Zheng Weiyong stood up and waved his arms desperately, before he was about to shout loudly, his voice was completely drowned out by a loud thunderous noise......
