Four mornings later, when the person he was looking for didn't come, an unexpected person came.
"Why are you here?" When she saw Yan Zhi standing at the entrance of the camp, Yan Rou couldn't help but be shocked. In all these years, the two brothers had never met in public, so as to avoid unnecessary suspicion. Although the Urushion knew that he was Chinese, letting them know that he was still connected to his family would definitely arouse their suspicions.
"Why can't I come?" Yan Zhi followed Yan Rou directly into Yan Rou's tent and casually sat down. The few Urushion s who were in Yan Rou's tent walked out tactfully, and only the two brothers were left in the tent. "Whether it is the Urushion or the Chinese, who doesn't know that we are brothers? Is there something wrong with your brother coming to see you? "
Yan Rou opened her mouth, but could not say anything. His current situation was indeed rather awkward. As a Chinese, yet representing the Urushion to negotiate with the Chinese army, in truth, it was just passing on a message, she did not have the authority to make the decision. In the eyes of the Chinese, this was treason, especially when he led the Urushion and fought against the Chinese army.
Ever since he was kidnapped by the Urushion, in order to survive, he had no choice but to be even more vicious and resentful than others. Whether it was the fights between the Urushion s, the wars with the fresh inferior s, or the battles with the Han Army, he was exceptionally fierce. Hence, the tribe leader of the Sable Hu Tribe admired her. Not only did she marry her daughter to him, she also allowed him to lead more than ten thousand of the tribe's cavalry to follow Qiu Liju in battle.
"Big Brother, are you prepared to work for the Urushion for your entire life like this?" Yan Zhi lightly glanced at Yan Rou and suddenly said without any warning.
Yan Rou was shocked and looked outside the door nervously. It was his cronies on guard at the door, and they didn't know Chinese. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief, and turned to glare at Yan Zhi fiercely, saying snappily: "What nonsense are you spouting! If I don't work for the Urushion, where can I go? I want to come back, too, but will the Chinese let me go? "
"Humph!" You want to come back? After so many years, you are no longer that slave who was kidnapped by the Urushion. There are many opportunities to return, why haven't you come back yet? I think you are unwilling to part with the position and wealth Urushion has given you! " Yan Zhi glared at Yan Rou fiercely, and said without a trace of politeness.
In fact, Yan Rou had already led her troops to war for a few years. If he wanted to return, she could have left a long time ago. Even if he ran away, the Urushion wouldn't be able to do anything to his family. After all, his wife was the daughter of the tribe leader. He raised her head and looked at Yan Zhi, and said impatiently: "Did you come to scold me? If there's nothing else, you should hurry up and go. "
"I'm fine? Do you think I'm here to quarrel with you because I'm full? " Yan Zhi stood up angrily, pointed at Yan Rou's nose and roared: "Do you know that you're about to die? I'm here to save your life! "You really don't know what's good for you!"
"You saved my life?" Yan Rou gasped, her voice immediately becoming softer. It was precisely because of his awkward position that underneath his crude appearance, there was also a cautious scheming. He looked at Yan Zhi and asked indifferently: "Who wants to kill me?"
"Do you know why that Military Advisor, Zhang Ling, hasn't come to see you these past few days?" Seeing that Yan Rou was confused, Yan Zhi said coldly: "Then Zhang Ling found me. Let me tell you this, if you submit to the Han army and return to Youzhou, I can bestow you the title of Marquis. Otherwise, he would give Urushion another million stones to buy your head! "
"Ah …" Yan Rou was shocked, and immediately jumped out of her seat. He paced back and forth in the tent, her eyes filled with infinite despair. "Why is he like this? I did not provoke him, so why is he so vicious? "
"You did not provoke him, but you provoked the Chinese. In his words, you are a traitor! And we have become the families of traitors! They will not let a traitor go! He wants to kill you and also wants the Urushion to kill you in order to warn all the Han Chinese who have pledged their allegiance to the Urushion! "
"Am I a part of the Urushion? It was because they were captured by the Urushion without the protection of the Han army! What right do you have to call me a traitor?! Ever since Yang Lin came to the Youzhou, I have never fought against them. Why do they hate me so much? "
"It's precisely because you were captured by the Urushion that they gave you a chance to put on your crimes and gain merits. Otherwise, once you came to Guangyang, they would arrest you as a traitor and kill you. Looking at the Wuhuan cavalry, there are about 10% of the Han people, they also followed the Urushion to kill the Han people, shouldn't they kill them? "
Of course, Yan Rou knew that there were a lot of Han Chinese in the Urushion, all of them were slaves caught by the Urushion. The people of Youzhou not only hated the Urushion, they also hated those traitors who helped the Urushion kill Han.
"Humph!" Even if they had more than 100 stones of food, Qiu Liju would not necessarily kill me. " Yan Rou sat down and snorted coldly. No matter what, he was a general leading more than ten thousand cavalrymen, she did not betray the Urushion, why would Qiu Liju want to kill him?
"This is Zhang Ling's scheme, he can't wait for Qiu Liju to not agree!" Yan Zhi glared at Yan Rou and mocked: If Qiu Liju doesn't agree, then the Han army will not settle the dispute. They will have to start a war with the Urushion, and those tribal leaders will think that it's because of you that they are going to war with the Han army. Who do you think you are? Will they fight with the Chinese for you? "You don't need to fight with the Han army. The other tribal leaders will kill you and use your head to exchange for the one million stone grains."
Hearing this, Yan Rou felt chills down her spine. They were even greedier than the wolf in the desert. For a Chinese man, even if it was just 10,000 stones worth of food, they did not have time during the day, so they would secretly kill him at night and scramble over to pick up the food. If they had a million stones to feed them, they would even kill Qiu Liju.
"What do they want me to do?" Finally, Yan Rou could no longer hold on. In the past few days, he had personally witnessed the strength of the Han army, and felt that the Urushion was not a match for them. Originally, he had intended to never become enemies with the Han army after the successful negotiation. But now, he had no choice but to make this choice again. Moreover, this was the only choice he had.
"We are working together to completely eliminate these hundred thousand Wuhuan cavalry s." Seeing that Yan Rou had compromised, Yan Zhi's tone became much gentler. "As for what we need to do, Military Advisor Zhang Ling will look for you. I just want to tell you, that without your help, the Han Army will not negotiate with the Urushion, and will definitely destroy the Urushion.
"They're just messing around!" Yan Rou stood up in anger and waved her hand fiercely: "Annihilating these hundred thousand plus Urushion is equivalent to giving away the Thousand Li Desert to the fresh inferior, aren't you giving it to the fresh inferior for nothing? Those fresh inferior s are much stronger than the Urushion. After obtaining this thousand Li desert, they will be even more powerful. Wouldn't the Han people have an even more powerful enemy now? "
"Do you think that Military Advisor is an idiot? They already have a plan. " Seeing that Yan Rou was still thinking for the Han people, Yan Zhi was more or less comforted. She smiled at Yan Rou and said, "Big brother, don't worry, not only will the thousand li of desert not fall into fresh inferior's hands, the fresh inferior will also be destroyed by the Han army!"
Early in the morning, Huangfu Song rushed back to the palace in a hurry. Although he was old and his temples were gray, he still looked very energetic. After several years, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong had never called for a meeting with Huangfu Song alone. Now that he had suddenly called for a meeting, Huangfu Song's heart involuntarily lit up with hope of leaving the mountain once more.
For the past few years, Huangfu Song had been serving in the imperial government. Although the whole country was rioting, the Minister of the Court would rather let those warriors lead the soldiers to war than let him, the wannabe, leave the mountain. Furthermore, the imperial court was filled with scholars, so no one really cared about him, the wannabe from West Cold.
When he arrived at the entrance of the palace, he suddenly saw that Han Dynasty, Liu Yu, was also walking towards the palace. As if sensing something, he immediately went forward to greet Liu Yu: "Sir Liu, you came to see the Emperor too early in the morning?"
"Indeed, let's go in together!" Liu Yu laughed and then walked with Huangfu Song into the palace. Ever since he had left the Youzhou, Liu Yu had been in the Imperial Palace doing nothing, and even rarely came to the Imperial Court. In any case, Hanling Emperor Liu Hong did not like going to court, so most of the time, it was useless of them to come.
A few Young Eunuch s came over and led them to's chambers. Chinese traditional medicine Zhang Jean and Zhao Zhong were waiting at the door, greeting them happily. After exchanging a few words of greeting, they brought them to a side hall beside the palace.
At this time, Hanling Emperor had just woken up. The two of them waited for a while before Hanling Emperor slowly came out. He did not look well, and must have wasted a great deal of energy on the ladies last night. He waved at them to sit down and talk without even looking at them.
Hanling Emperor Liu Hong picked up the hot tea sent up by the Eunuch, took a sip, then sat up and said indifferently: "The two love officials have been idling for many years, your bodies should be healed by now! "Now that there are thieves everywhere in the world, it's time for all of you to come out and do some work."
"We are willing to serve His Majesty!" The two of them quickly kneeled down and expressed their loyalty to Hanling Emperor Liu Hong. It was very obvious that Hanling Emperor Liu Hong was going to commission them on a heavy responsibility, and he didn't even intend to take the money, how could this not make them happy!
Liu Hong waved his hands, allowing them to sit properly once again. He had heard this kind of confession too many times to be moved in the slightest. He raised his head and a rare solemn expression appeared on his face, "The West Cold's rebellion is getting fiercer and fiercer. The imperial government has sent troops over many times to suppress it, but they are still unable to pacify the rebellion in the Qiang people. Today, with General Dong Zhuo, the former general, besieging the Kingdom for over eighty days and being powerless, does Your Majesty Huangfu have a good plan? "
"Your Majesty, the rebellion of the West Cold's Qiang has been going on for more than a hundred years. The imperial government has engaged in more than a dozen large-scale wars with the Qiang herself. Especially in recent years, the Imperial Court has almost continuously sent out troops to pacify the rebellion and put in a great amount of manpower and resources to suppress the rebel tribes, to stabilize the region in the western part of Longyang Kingdom, and to ensure the stability and unity of the border areas. "
Huangfu Song was originally a citizen of the Liang Zhou's An Jing County, and had also been a taiwai of the Northern Lands County. He had personally participated in the battle to suppress the West Cold. Huangfu Song understood Qiang people's rebellion more than anyone else, and he could clearly feel the consequences of it.
