Six-six-seven hostages

After all, the dynasty has not been established for a long time, and everyone is not very adaptable.

"Shut up!"

Feng Xichen snorted coldly, and the hall was suddenly stunned. He stood up, his cold and lightning-like gaze swept over everyone, and said in a cold voice, "What are you guys going to do here?" Rebellion? When did His Majesty's authority cease to be taken into account by you? His Majesty the Holy King is the king, and we are the ministers, and the holy decree is like the king coming in person, and we are waiting for the holy decree, why not? There are no rules, there is no circle, now that the Holy Kingdom has been established, you should be self-controlled, and you must see clearly what your identity is! ”

He glanced at Zhao Yunshan and reprimanded: "General, as a military prime minister, you control the army, and the position of the general, they are messing around, not only do you not stop it, why do you take the lead in making a fool?" Are you worthy of the importance that His Highness the Holy King has shown you? ”

His words were already extremely serious, and it was like reprimanding his subordinates, which was equivalent to throwing Zhao Yunshan's two big-eared scrapers in front of everyone's faces, mercilessly.

Zhao Yunshan's angry blood penetrated his pupils, his face was flushed, and his hands trembled uncontrollably. He wanted to refute it, but Feng Xichen's sentences were indispensable to the word Holy King, and if you dared to refute it, it would really be contempt for His Royal Highness the Holy King, so that he couldn't say it.

He was angry and depressed in his heart, he and Feng Xichen had always had a very good relationship, but he didn't expect that Feng Xichen had repeatedly humiliated him in public these days. For a while, I had already made up my mind in my heart, and in this life, Feng Xichen would never be separated!

Feng Xichen finished reprimanding. didn't even look at Zhao Yunshan, and knelt on the ground first. He said loudly: "Minister Feng Xichen knelt down to listen to the holy decree. ”

Everyone looked at each other and ordered them to kneel on the ground.

The little eunuch looked at Feng Xichen. A trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, he coughed lightly, unfolded the holy decree, and a sharp voice sounded: "His Majesty the Holy King said that the Wu Yi army is advancing westward, and the clown who jumps the beam is not enough to worry about his teeth, so that all the soldiers and civilians can do their part, not act rashly, and strengthen the patrol and garrison." Chin this! ”

Feng Xichen was stunned for a while. quickly reacted, stretched out his arms, and said in a loud voice: "Minister, thank you!" ”

Everyone also followed the same example, and they received the order one after another.

When the little eunuch left, Li Qingshan scolded angrily in his heart and walked out of his sleeves.

Everyone also had their own thoughts, and they left one after another.

Today's events can be said to have an extremely far-reaching impact on the political pattern of the entire White Lotus Holy Kingdom.

Above the main hall. Feng Xichen reprimanded a group of generals led by Zhao Yunshan as if he were reprimanding his subordinates, and everyone obeyed the order awe-inspiringly, no one dared to refute, and no one dared to fight back. This matter soon spread throughout the army under the operation of well-intentioned people. Everyone knows that now His Majesty the Holy King is not concerned with political affairs, and Prime Minister Feng temporarily takes over the government. He is a regent-like figure, above everyone. This is true, under one person. More than 10,000 people!

And some of the contradictions at the top of the White Lotus Sect, there are also the original secret battles that have been transformed into open disputes, the civil and military disputes between Feng Xichen and Zhao Yunshan, Li Qingshan defected to Feng Xichen, and Zhao Yunshan has attracted a large number of generals in the army. It's just that looking at the current situation, Feng Xichen still has the upper hand.

Xu Hongru's decision obviously made Li Qingshan extremely displeased, but he didn't dare to show it, although Xu Hongru is now gradually becoming stupid, but his prestige in the sect is still extremely high, if he dares to openly oppose him, it is really tired.

He walked forward with a gloomy face all the way, and Zhao Wuji almost walked out of the Holy King's Palace with him. The two of them didn't say a word as if they didn't see each other, and when they got out of the gate, Zao Wou-Ki glanced at Li Qingshan, looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and walked away.

His advocacy coincided with the will of His Majesty the Holy King, which really made him extremely proud, and he had a bad breath.

Niu Dazhang followed behind him, and he had already lost no time in saying: "Congratulations to the last general, congratulations to the handsome, let that Li Qingshan eat a meal, can he still raise his face now?" ”

This compliment was exactly the itch of Zao Wou-ki, he laughed proudly, and patted Niu Dazhang on the shoulder: "We have followed the sect leader for so many years, can we be compared to Li Qingshan's little cub?" I'll tell you, this is just the beginning, that little cub dares to go against me, I'll kill him! ”

Niu Dazhang naturally picked up good words and coaxed Zao Wou-Ki to be happy and happy.

When he was sent back to Zao Wou-ki, Niu Dazhang confessed and returned to his mansion.

His mansion is in the south of the city, which was originally the mansion of a hundred households of the Ming army, and the hundred households were directly killed when Li Qingshan's coffin was broken into the city, and later after entering the city, Niu Dazhang assigned this mansion, and the original owners in it became slaves in the house.

As soon as he entered the mansion, Niu Dazhang summoned a confidant, who was also a spy from MI6, and said in a low voice: "You go out of the city quickly, if someone interrogates you, say that you will go out of the city to inspect Zhuangzi, see if those slaves are working hard to cultivate, and then summon them to ......."

"Tell your lordship that Xu Hongru ordered to be on strict guard, but did not send troops, in addition, Li Qingshan, who is eloquent and strategic, is a big enemy, and must be guarded against early!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Be careful all the way."

The spy nodded, and rode away.

―――――――――― dividing line――――――――

Amin said lightly: "Great Khan, you only sent 20,000 soldiers, maybe it's too few, right?" ”

"20,000 soldiers, a lot."

Haha, he didn't laugh and said: "As you said, Wu Yi's army attacked Partridge Town, and even Zining's army was fighting outside, how many troops can be left in Partridge Town?" The sneak attack on Partridge Town is not about who has more people, but who is faster and faster, and it is useless to have more people, don't you say? ”

This is the Bali Creek between the Guards of the Warriors and the Guards of the Warriors, the Brook is a tributary of the same river, it is a stream that is not wide, and it is not well-known, but it is in a good location - thirty miles from the Guards of the Warriors, thirty-six miles from the Guards of the Warriors, and thirty-six miles from the Guards of the Warriors, almost in the middle. Therefore, the two chose this place for negotiations.

Bali Creek is not wide, only two zhang. There is a stone bridge over the river, which is very simple. A few boulders were thrown underneath and a few stone slabs were built on top of it, and it was considered a bridge.

At this moment, there was a fishing net hanging in the middle of the bridge, and across this fishing net, Amin was only three meters away from each other, and they were sitting separately. A hundred meters behind them, dozens of heavily armed guards were on guard. However, the two parties were still very relaxed. After all, they all know the situation of the other party, as long as they are not crazy, they will not choose to turn their faces at this time.

Today is the seventh day of Wu Yijun's crossing of the river, and today is the second meeting between the two sides. When we met for the first time yesterday, in addition to greeting and reminiscing about the past, Amin told the secret situation in this partridge town and revealed it, without any intention of hiding it - there was no need for this

Amin shook his head: "The Great Khan should understand that this is not what I am worried about. ”

Naturally, he was not worried about this, Amin's side sent 30,000 cavalry. Even if there are only 20,000 people over there, 50,000 cavalry is enough to capture Partridge Town, there is no doubt about it, and Lian Zining got the news of the attack on Partridge Town. will definitely return to the division for first aid, so that there is no need to worry about Lian Zining taking the opportunity to break through his hometown. I believe that Lian Zining's vision can see it. It is still possible to distinguish which is more important than the other.

What he's really worried about is that he can't get out.

The Jurchens had 30,000 elite horsemen, and the rest were all slave soldiers. The combat effectiveness is quite low, due to the control and enslaving of the minds of these days. Amin didn't worry that something would go wrong with them - on the contrary, he didn't leave behind 30,000 elite soldiers, and if these 30,000 elites took the opportunity to fight the idea of those Han slave soldiers in the Ali Guard, it would be bad.

This meant that Amin had lost the most stable base in the central part of the Liaobei general's territory and a large number of reserve troops.

He understands this truth, and he understands it even if he can't do it.

Ha Bu shook his head and smiled: "We are allies after all, take the opportunity to fight your idea, Ben Khan has not done so much." The reason why Ben Khan sent 20,000 troops was to be on the safe side, and if something went wrong, he could not trap the whole army. ”

What he said this time was the truth, the current situation is completely different for Amin and for Ha Bu.

The latest information obtained, Lian Zining North Line army has crossed the Dulu River, the front of the troops directly pointed at Tunhewei, once the Tunhewei is captured, then a hundred miles away, is Ali Zhiwei, between the two, a horse Pingchuan, and there is no obstruction. The southern army captured the Wuzhi Dewen Station, the middle army captured Linghe Fort, the three-way army was sandwiched by three breads, and the ten-way ambush showed a situation of encirclement of Ali Zhiwei. For Amin, he has already been forced to the edge of the cliff, and if he doesn't take the initiative to react, he will wait for the three-way army of Wu Yi's army to approach the encirclement and annihilate it all!

It's different, there is still a Jurchen gap between the Fuyuwei army and the Wu Yi army, and there is a lot of room for buffering, besides, he can still retreat to the old camp of Fuyuwei on the bank of the Naowen River, which is beyond the reach of the whip of the Wu Yi army.

Therefore, the first thing is to seek stability, not to lose too many troops, and the second is to get results.

The two people are in different situations, and their thoughts and behaviors are naturally different.

Of course, it is not impossible to sneak attack Ali Zhiwei, after all, there is also a deception between him and Amin, and no one can say what will happen after that. At this time, he is peaceful, and if he can't say it later, he will have to stab the knife and put the black hand in the black hand.

"It's not that I can't believe the Great Khan, it's just that you and I are better at peace in our hearts after all." Amin smiled slightly: "The little nephew has an idea here, I don't know if I should talk about it or not." ”

Ha Bu frowned slightly: "You say." ”

After all, what Amin said is the truth, and if you think about it from another perspective, you can't help but feel that you will also feel uneasy.

"The little nephew heard that the Great Khan has a young son named Ulan Bari, although he is young, but he is brave and good at fighting, and once shot a tiger alone, which can be called a steppe warrior, and the little nephew heard it at the beginning, but also sighed, worthy of being the Great Khan, the descendants of the silver family, is really the proud son of the sky, and is loved by the mercy of God. The little nephew has long admired it in his heart, but he will never see it. ”

Amin smiled and said: "If you let the prince of Ulaanbari come to the little nephew's camp to play for two days, the little nephew will definitely be hospitable, and the prince of Ulaanbari will not be ruined." What do you think? ”

There are some names for Ulan Bari's bravery, but not many people know about it, and as for shooting the tiger, it is even more nonsense for Amin to put gold on the other party's face.

It's just that you don't have to care too much about whether it's true or not. The main thing is the meaning contained in it.

After listening to it, Huo Ran got up. Furious, out of rage. So much so that the beard was poked straight up, his eyebrows and beard trembled, and he pointed at Amin and said angrily: "You want to make my son hostage? ”

The meaning of Amin's words is clearly that we want to cooperate, but I don't believe you, so what should I do? In this way, you send your son over as a hostage, and as long as you don't take the initiative to attack me, I won't kill him. If you provoke me. That's hard to say......

No matter how nice the words are, the meaning in them cannot be changed.

Of course, this condition is unacceptable.

In the cooperation between the two sides, he is the strong party, the active party, how can the strong party send his prince there as a hostage? It's pretty much the same for a change.

Ha Bu categorically refused: "Amin, are you dreaming and want my son as a hostage?" Wish for the moon! ”

The little nephew knew that this request was a bit excessive, but it was a big sweat. You're going to have to give us a shield, don't you? ”

Amin smiled bitterly and lowered his posture.

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a smiling face, Amin is already showing weakness like this, and he really can't say anything cruel. Just snorted coldly and emphasized again: "Stop dreaming." ”

After all, both sides need to cooperate, and no one dares to say anything about breaking up first.

"If the prince of Ulaanbari does not succeed. Why don't you just change someone? Amin rolled his eyes and said cautiously: "The little nephew heard that Mr. Liang, the military advisor under the seat of the Great Khan, is unparalleled in wisdom. One step and three strategies, I have admired it for a long time in my heart. Why don't you let Mr. Liang come to my camp, and the little nephew will set up a banquet to entertain him, and have a good time with Mr. Liang. ”

"There are a lot of people you admire!" Ha didn't snort coldly, but this time he didn't categorically refuse, but groaned.

As soon as Amin saw that there was a door, he hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Great Khan, think about it, the little nephew is now difficult to protect himself, how dare he act recklessly?" As long as we capture Partridge Town and return safely, the two armies are safe, and the little nephew will definitely send Mr. Liang to your camp unharmed, so why worry about anything? The little nephew swears hereby that if Mr. Liang is injured in my camp, Amin is willing to die! ”

Ha Bu squinted at Amin, and he didn't know what he was thinking, as time passed, Amin also felt that his heart was getting tighter and tighter.

After a long while, he said to himself: "Okay, Ben Khan will promise you!" ”

Amin breathed a long sigh of relief, only to feel that his heart was suddenly light, as if a big stone had been removed, and the whole person was not good. He clenched his fists slightly, and a voice echoed in his heart: "It's done!" ”

In fact, from the very beginning, his target was not Ulan Bari, but Liang Yanqiu.

Ulan Bari, as the prince of the Great Khan, if he was sent to the Jurchen camp as a proton, it would be an extremely humiliating thing for the entire Fuyuwei, and he would definitely not agree to it. So after being rejected, Amin took the opportunity to throw out Liang Yanqiu's alternative option, in the negotiation skills, if you make a less reasonable request at the beginning, and the other party categorically refuses, and then take advantage of the situation to put forward a slightly more reasonable, but also easier to accept by the other party, then it will usually become quite difficult for the other party to refuse - because this is not only people's instinctive reaction, the heart will not go, and continue to refuse the other party's request, and it is the other party to take the initiative to compromise and refuse, Then it will be perceived as a sign of a lack of good faith in negotiations. So as Amin expected, he couldn't agree.

For Amin, Liang Yanqiu is even more suitable as a hostage than Ulan Bari, although Ulaanbari is a prince, but he has no army, no power, no territory, and no connections, he is just a noble status. If something really goes wrong, the vast majority of interests are currently in the background, and maybe they will really be given up by Fu Yuwei's upper echelons.

And Liang Yanqiu is different. He is Fu Yuwei's military advisor, a think tank, the leader of Hermes, and the lord of Bansheng City, which is definitely much more important to Fu Yuwei than a prince.

And the reason why he agreed to Amin's conditions was that in addition to the prerequisite that he was sure that he would not take the initiative to attack the Jurchens, a more important reason was his heart. In his heart, Liang Yanqiu is not his own person after all, he is not as good as his son after all, and his five fingers are still long and short!

These thoughts may not be aware of it himself, but they affect his actions and thinking.

The two negotiated the issue of this general direction. Then I discussed some of the specific matters of cooperation below, and basically reached a consensus.

To this point. All that was left to do was wait, for news from the spies. Then as soon as the information is integrated, it can be activated.

They each returned to the camp, and when they returned to the vultures, they returned to their residences, drank a cup of tea, and muttered for a while, and then instructed their subordinates: "Go and invite Liang Yanqiu." ”

"Yes!"

The man answered, and went out to give the order.

After a while, Liang Yanqiu pushed the door in. When he saw it, he hugged his fists and smiled: "Congratulations to the Great Khan, congratulations to the Great Khan, this time we will unite with the Jurchens to fight the Wu Yi Army, and the day when the Wu Yi Army will die without a burial will not be far away!" ”

Ha Bu was slightly stunned: "How does the military advisor know that I and Aminwei have not broken down?" ”

Liang Yanqiu smiled slightly: "If the talk collapses, it will be back in half an hour, only when the talk is completed, you need to think about it so carefully, and put it back for more than an hour." ”

"The military advisor is really a genius. By the way, there is something I need to know about the military advisor. "This time, we sent 20,000 troops and left 30,000 soldiers in the guard of the vultures, and Amin was in a hurry." All the cavalry was dispatched, leaving only those Han dog minions. He was afraid that we would send troops to fight him, so he wanted us to send a hostage here. I want you by name. ”

"What, you want me to be a hostage?" Liang Yanqiu's face couldn't help but turn pale. With a tremor in his heart, he hurriedly asked, "Did you agree to the Great Khan?" ”

His eyes were full of anticipation. I just hope that I can't say the word 'no', but I have an extremely bad feeling in my heart.

Sure enough, he couldn't help but smile: "I agreed, anyway, there is no danger, we will never take the initiative to attack the Jurchens, you go there for two days." Amin promised to entertain you with delicious food and drink, treat you as a guest, haha, we don't even see a few first-class women here, you go over there, enjoy yourself, haha, this time is blessed! ”

In order to alleviate the feeling of resistance in Liang Yanqiu's heart, he also half-joked.

It's just that Liang Yanqiu's performance made his face sink.

After listening to the words, Liang Yanqiu was struck by lightning, only to feel that his eyes were dark, and the whole person was stupid almost instantly.

His face was pale, his eyes were blank as if he had lost his soul, endless anger, sorrow, and fear, all kinds of emotions poured through his heart like a rolling river, and he only felt that his heart was sinking more and more, as if it had reached a bottomless abyss.

First, he never expected Amin to put forward such a condition, and secondly, he didn't expect that he would agree to this condition!

This is a hostage! Throughout the ages, how many of these hostages in the world have a good end? Whether or not he will come back alive this time is a question, although he can't say that he swears that there seems to be no problem, but who knows what the situation will play out will be? I'm just a weak scholar, if there is really any situation, wouldn't it be a life to be slaughtered by others?

What he has done for Fu Yuwei all these years, can't he see it when he is the Great Khan? If it weren't for himself, Fu Yuwei would have so many food reserves and never worry about the white disaster and the black disaster, so that he could stand out from the Duoyan Sanwei and become the number one force in Duoyan Sanwei? If he hadn't commanded Hermes-Epitek himself, opened a workshop, and produced on a large scale, would Fuyuwei have so many armor and weapons? If it weren't for his own advice, strategizing, and never slacking off in logistics, would he have been able to win many battles and become the first person in Duoyan Sanwei?

At this moment, he finally deeply realized the true meaning of the phrase 'those who are not of my race must have different hearts', it turned out that in Ha Bu's heart, he was never his own person, he was a Han people rather than a Mongolian, which was doomed to a sad fate. When something happens, you will become an abandoned child!

That's all!

He was depressed, and he poked there like a wooden stake in a daze, if he could endure it without scolding, it was already Liang Yanqiu's determination. It's just that this demeanor fell in Ha Bu's eyes, but it was a different understanding.

Reluctant, isn't it? Isn't it upset with me? You are my courtier, I am my subordinate, I can do whatever I want you, do you dare to complain? (To be continued.) )
