"Sir, what do you mean?"
This made Yuan Chonghuan even more confused about what he was going to do if he didn't deal with himself. He asked Hu Yunqing doubtfully.
"I have something to tell you to do!"
"My lord, please tell me, I, Yuan Chonghuan, am so embarrassed that I will not hesitate to do so!"
Hearing that Hu Yunqing wanted to do things by himself, and thinking that his life was given by Hu Yunqing, what kind of orders could he give me? He stood up and said with a fist in his arms.
"Well, do you remember the food I put in your military camp?"
"Remember, your Excellency said it will be useful in the future. Does your business have anything to do with these grains?"
At the beginning, Yuan Chonghuan thought that the food was placed in the granary of the military camp and was prepared for the army to prepare for the counterattack against the Huns.
But after a while, there was no food supply, and Yuan Chonghuan felt that it was not what he thought.
I also investigated the prices of grain in the surrounding areas, and it can be said that the price is one per day. Such a large amount of grain and grass is enough to replace half of the capital.
"That's right, there are already buyers for this grain. At night, you send people to deliver the grain to a place fifty miles away. After it is delivered to the place, immediately ask the army to withdraw."
"Sir, you mean sending it outside Shanhaiguan?"
Yuan Chonghuan's previous thought of counterattack was not groundless. He found out that the reason why the Jiannu people did not attack was because of insufficient food and grass.
But after hearing that so much food and grass had to be sent outside the customs, only the slave-building army could afford such a huge amount of food and grass.
I don’t understand what Hu Yunqing means by this arrangement? It stands to reason that Hu Yunqing is the most loyal person in the Ming Dynasty. The several major victories over Jiannu were all Hu Yunqing's ideas.
Yuan Chonghuan also likes money in his heart, but a gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way, and will never cooperate with the slave builders.
"As you might think, this batch of food belongs to the slave builders. If you help them transport it out, you can get a large sum of gold, silver and jewelry. If you help me complete this errand, your share will not be less. "
Hu Yunqing thought for a while and was not sure about Yuan Chonghuan's position. He had saved his life before, and Yuan Chonghuan had no choice but to turn to him when he was in trouble. Now that the other party has returned to Shanhaiguan, he has absolute rights here.
"Sir, please forgive me for not agreeing, because I am from the Ming Dynasty."
Yuan Chonghuan's face instantly darkened. He didn't expect Master Hu to have colluded with the slave builders, and he stared at Hu Yunqing and said.
"Then I have colluded with the Huns, what are you going to do?"
Hu Yunqing glanced at Juan, who immediately put a knife on Yuan Chonghuan's neck. When Yuan Chonghuan took control, Hu Yunqing smiled and asked Yuan Chonghuan.
"If you don't kill me, I will expose you!"
Yuan Chonghuan also fought his way back from the battlefield and was not afraid of Hu Yunqing's threat at all.
"Hahaha, you are worthy of being the person I saved. Juan, please put down the knife quickly."
Hearing Yuan Chonghuan's answer, Hu Yunqing laughed with great satisfaction and quickly asked Huan to put away the knife.
"Brother Yuan, get up quickly. Are you the kind of person who colluded with the slave builders to betray the Ming Dynasty?"
After Juan put away the knife, he lifted up Yuan Chonghuan who was kneeling on the ground and asked with a smile.
"Sir, what do you mean?"
Yuan Chonghuan was even more confused. He was holding a knife to his neck just now, but now he was smiling, looking at Hu Yunqing doubtfully and asked.
"Let me tell you, I want..., so I have to gain the other party's trust first."
If he wanted to complete his plan, he would have to use Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan's troops were stationed in the entire area bordering Shanhaiguan and the Jiannu people. Even if he wanted to show off, he would have no chance.
Through the previous questioning, Yuan Chonghuan had no problem with his loyalty to Ming Dynasty, so he told him his plan.
"So that's it. In order to stop the war on the border, I am willing to help you complete your plan!"
After listening to Hu Yunqing's words, Yuan Chonghuan felt that this plan was very feasible. If the plan succeeded, the people on the border would benefit the most.
"Well, just do as I'm told. This matter must be kept secret, even your subordinates, King Tiger and King Bao, can't tell it!"
Afraid that Yuan Chonghuan would tell anyone, Hu Yunqing specifically explained it.
"Understood, since it is going to be sent out at night, I have to go back and prepare quickly. Those grains are not a small amount!"
After hearing Hu Yunqing's instructions, Yuan Chonghuan also understood what should be said and what should not be said. He quickly left the Dingbei Hou Mansion and returned to the military camp to issue orders.
"General, what happened when you called us here like this?"
The two brothers Wang Hu and Wang Bao entered the big tent. Seeing Yuan Chonghuan's anxious look, they asked him confusedly.
Normally, Yuan Chonghuan would call them in such a hurry only when the slave-building army was approaching.
"You take people with you at night and transport some goods to this place."
Yuan Chonghuan saw that the two people had arrived, led them to the map, pointed to a place and said.
"General, are you mistaken? That's outside Shanhaiguan?"
Wang Hu kept listening to what Yuan Chonghuan said. Wang Bao on the side felt something was wrong. He looked carefully at the location pointed on the map and asked Yuan Chonghuan in surprise.
"Outside? General, what does this mean?"
After hearing Wang Bao's words, Wang Hu quickly took a look and found that it was outside Shanhaiguan. They had been fighting in Shanhaiguan all year round. The terrain here was easily accessible.
"That's right, I'll be right back after you deliver the things."
Yuan Chonghuan sat on the chair and said to the two of them.
"What nonsense! Just do what you are told!"
Wang Hu and Wang Bao had a lot of doubts. They didn't know why they wanted to send things outside the customs. When they were about to ask something, they were interrupted by Yuan Chonghuan.
Seeing Yuan Chonghuan's anger, the two of them closed their mouths knowingly. If he said one more word, he might get scolded.
"Beware of people who are looking for Wu Sangui, pick some reliable people to handle this matter."
After some warnings, Wang Hu and Wang Bao left the tent.
"Second brother, what do you mean by General? Is that so?"
After the two went back, Wang Hu felt more and more strange the more he thought about it. He looked at Wang Bao and knew that the latter had always been smart and easy to use. He walked to Wang Bao and whispered a possibility.
"Shut up!"
Hearing what Wang Hu said immediately, Wang Bao's face changed with fright, and he yelled at Wang Hu loudly.
"Don't mention this matter again. After finishing it tonight, just pretend you don't know anything."
Wang Bao had already guessed it, but thinking of Yuan Chonghuan's character, the number of slave builders he killed could be piled up into a small mountain. Even if Yuan Chonghuan wanted to surrender to the enemy, the slave builders had to think about whether Yuan Chonghuan was faking surrender.
"Okay, I'll arrange a trustworthy brother right away."
