Yaze got the expected answer and left with satisfaction holding the sweet potato.
When he arrived in front of the Chamber of Commerce, the team was still waiting for him.
The squad leader saw Yaze coming out and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Aze, what does the secretary want from you?"
Yaze raised his neck and said with an air, "It's not the secretary who's looking for me, it's the president who's looking for me."
"The president is looking for you??"
The team leader looked surprised, and the rest of the team members also became interested. One teammate asked: "What does the president want from you?"
"Na."
Yaze raised the wooden box in his arms, attracting the attention of his teammates.
"What's this?"
The team leader asked and was about to open the wooden box, but Yaze sidestepped and said, "This is the life of tens of millions of people, so you can't open it at will."
When Yaze said this, his teammates became even more curious. Yaze couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to the shade and opened the box.
The teammates were all surprised when they saw these two ordinary mangrove roots. They were even more unbelievable when they heard that they could be used as staple food and could produce thousands of kilograms per acre.
"Is this really what the president said?"
Ren Yaze's words came to life, but the team leader was still dubious.
Yaze suddenly became anxious, "What the president personally handed over to me can still be fake?"
"According to what you said, this object is the most precious treasure in the world. Why would the president give it to you, an ordinary team member?"
A teammate raised a question at the right time, everyone nodded in approval, and Yaze was stunned.
yes!
How could the president give such a precious treasure to me?
Yaze was puzzled, but that was exactly what happened.
"The president is the reincarnation of Buddha, and his actions have deep meaning. Maybe the president calculated that this thing can only be successfully planted in Yaze's hands?"
The team leader thought for a while and gave a pertinent opinion. Everyone thought this was the case. Yaze nodded, his eyes becoming firmer.
After lunch, Yaze left, carrying a wooden box on his horse and setting out on the road alone. The squad leader and his team members watched him leave. They still had missions to do and could not escort him.
The next morning, they got up early and lined up neatly on both sides of Pingxia City Street. They lined up directly from the city gate to the Xixia Chamber of Commerce. There were tens of thousands of guards. This was their mission, to escort a big shot to Xixia. The capital is Xingqingfu.
More than 10,000 of the Chamber of Commerce's security forces were dispatched to perform a mission, which had never happened in the three years since the Chamber of Commerce was established. This shows how big this big shot is.
After a while, the big shot came out of the chamber of commerce. It was a thousand-man captain. There were only twenty-eight thousand-man captains in the Xixia Chamber of Commerce escort team. Those were the twenty-eight personal guards who came from Tokyo in the Song Dynasty with the president.
These captains are commanded by the headquarters for general tasks. They can only be called for combat tasks. When they saw the captain, the guards knew that this mission was by no means as simple as escorting.
But the matter was not over yet. Immediately after the thousand-man captain, another thousand-man captain came out...
By the time all twenty-eight thousand-man captains appeared in front of the Chamber of Commerce, all the guards had their jaws dropped.
Could this big shot be...
When Yue Fei finally appeared in the sight of the guards, this speculation became a reality.
Apart from the president, the only person who can dispatch one-third of the strength of the chamber of commerce and assemble twenty-eight thousand-man captains to protect them is Captain Yue.
As for the president, all the guards knew that it was impossible to go to Xingqing Mansion. After all, Xixia Tuoba, a member of the Xixia royal family, was still staying in the palace of Xingqing Mansion.
But when they saw two people behind Captain Yue, the guards' eyes widened and they almost lost their ability to think.
No way!
Why are the two captains of the President's personal bodyguard, Fugui and Gui, also coming out?
Could it be?
When the tall and strong Wang Erlang appeared in everyone's eyes, they were no longer so shocked, but became more complicated.
Some were surprised, some were sad, some sighed... They all understood what today's task was.
The day finally arrived.
There are Han people, Fan people, and pure Dangxiang people in their escort team. Although their nationalities are different, they all know that it is impossible for the Xixia Chamber of Commerce and the Dangxiang Tuoba tribe to coexist, and one day one of them will fall.
After three years of endless competition and fighting between the two parties, the situation has become very clear. The Tuoba tribe has completely lost power.
Perhaps, after this mission is over, the country Xixia will cease to exist.
People in this era actually don’t have much concept of country in their minds, especially in tribal countries like Xixia. As long as the war between countries does not massacre the city, it has little to do with them. Whoever rules will still be theirs. If they live like that, they will praise and identify with whoever gives them good treatment.
They don't have much culture, no sense of collective honor, and they won't die for the country. Just like the Sixteenth State of Yanyun, they only care about the high-level officials of the Song Dynasty. The people of Yanyun don't care whether you are from Liao, Jin or Song.
Before the Northern Expedition in the Song Dynasty, everyone thought that as soon as Wang Shi arrived, the people of Yanyun would eat pots of juice to welcome him. As a result, the people of Yanyun did not even bother with the imperial army.
The Han people, who have been influenced by the culture of the Central Plains for thousands of years, do not have much concept of a country or nation, let alone the Xixia people. Compared with their own interests, the country is really dispensable.
A real example is that when the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty entered China, the northern Han people were almost killed. However, just over a hundred years later, after the Han people re-entered China, more than 100,000 Han people committed suicide for the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. Among them, more than 60% of Confucian scholar-bureaucrats died for the Yuan Dynasty, the highest number in all dynasties.
What's the reason? Isn't it because the Yuan Dynasty was too tolerant of society, and taxes were the lowest in history. Compared with the Song Dynasty's one-dou field tax, the Yuan Dynasty's tax was only three liters at most.
The Yuan Dynasty collapsed not because they were harsh on the people, but because they were unable to govern, which led to chaos in the social order and eventual collapse.
The Mongols who killed tens of millions of Han people were so loved by the people later, let alone the Xixia Chamber of Commerce, which treated the Xixia people as their masters.
The moment Wang Erlang led the army into the border of Xixia, he experienced what it means to "greet food in a pot to welcome him". The people who came to greet and see him off made it difficult for the escort army to move forward. In the end, everyone was carrying Xixia food. specialty.
If the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty saw this scene, they would definitely feel that they were dreaming. Is this the king's army returning from victory, or is it an attacking army from an enemy country?
Naturally, Wang Erlang had only one purpose for his trip, which was to destroy the country.
But after seeing these simple and lovely people, he was a little shaken, "Junior brother, do you think we did the right thing?"
He was afraid that after Xixia was incorporated into the Song Dynasty, it would become the next Song Dynasty. The tragic situation of the refugees outside the West City three years ago was still vivid in his mind when he recalled it.
Yue Fei saw his worries, "General, as long as Party Xiang Tuoba is not eliminated, the Chamber of Commerce will be unstable. If we are no longer at the border, the Chamber of Commerce may be overthrown at any time."
Wang Zhi looked into the distance and was speechless for a moment. He knew that what Yue Fei said was right. The Chamber of Commerce in Xixia seemed to be prosperous with one hand covering the sky, but in fact everything was dependent on him alone.
As long as he is no longer at the border gate, everything may be shattered like a mirror in the mirror. This is why he has never dared to leave the border gate in the past three years. However, as October is approaching and the wedding is approaching, it is impossible for him to continue to stay at the border gate.
Therefore, Xixia must destroy the country so that he can return to Beijing with peace of mind.
"General, there is no need to worry. No matter who the Song Dynasty sends to take over Xixia, their opinions must be based on their strength. As long as the people's hearts are still in the Chamber of Commerce, it doesn't matter whether Xixia belongs to the party Xiang Tuoba or the Song Dynasty in name."
"Hahaha... Junior brother is right. It doesn't matter whoever takes over Xixia. Even the Tuoba Li family can only be a puppet emperor. They are afraid that he will overthrow the Song Dynasty."
"When we get to Xixia, even the Jade Emperor has to lie down for me, hahaha..."
Hearing Wang Zhi's wild words that disrespected heaven and earth, Yue Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he nodded in his heart. If he hadn't disrespected heaven and earth and was not afraid of the imperial power, how could he have accomplished this incredible feat.
Looking at the people who were still coming to greet him in a steady stream and the enemy city gates that were already wide open, Yue Fei felt that the past three years had been like a dream.
I still remember when we first met that year, he said: I am the Marquis of Langya County in the dynasty. Your Majesty has appointed the general to conquer the West. I am here to receive the emperor's order to conquer the West and seek the help of talented people. I will not return to the dynasty until Xixia is destroyed. I am a Marquis. Xiangguang Zongyaozu, or whether he lives a life of drunkenness, dreams, and death, it all depends on you.
Thinking of this, Yue Fei couldn't help but smile. The Marquis of Langya was pretty good, but it was a pity that he didn't have any power. He was appointed as the general to conquer the west. He was barely a junior general, but he was just a deputy commander of a battalion who couldn't command half an army. Immortal Xixia vowed not to return to the court, so why did he believe his lies in the first place? This guy was clearly here for a vacation to enjoy his military exploits. He only deceived himself because he knew that the army was not safe, so he asked him to be a bodyguard and thug.
Who would have thought that this outspoken and daring second generation ancestor, with more than thirty people, would actually achieve something.
Maybe he is really the reincarnation of Buddha, but not necessarily.
At this time, even Yue Fei somewhat believed the rumors, let alone the people of Xixia.
Seeing the generals and people of Lingzhou city who were enthusiastically inviting the army to enter the city to entertain them, Wang Zhi politely refused and camped outside Lingzhou city for the night.
Although the road ahead has been cleared, things are unpredictable and caution is the best. Entering the city is not a matter of numbers and strength.
Drinking was prohibited during the march, but Wang Erlang asked someone to buy two jars of wine from the city. In the eyes of everyone, he removed the cloth and mud cover and sprinkled it on the ground to comfort the souls of tens of thousands of soldiers.
Someone in the escort team knew that in the fourth year of Yuanfeng, during the reign of Emperor Shenzong, the Song Dynasty used 300,000 troops to attack Xixia in five directions. It was at Lingzhou City that they fell short and were defeated after tens of thousands of corpses. Return.
This was also the Song Dynasty's deepest invasion into the hinterland of Xixia and the heaviest losses in more than 160 years. Emperor Shenzong himself also died in depression after this battle, at the age of only thirty-seven.
