Zhao Shan looked at Wei Polu who had returned from his meritorious service and chuckled, "Thank you for your hard work, old general."
"Thank you for your hard work!"
Wei Polu replied without a smile.
Zhao Shan looked at Tuoba Yanran and introduced: "Princess Yanran, let me introduce to you. This is Wei Polu, the current commander-in-chief of Daqian's army. I guess you in the Northern Wei Dynasty are no strangers to the old general."
Tuoba Yanran's cheeks twitched.
Of course not unfamiliar.
Wei Polu roamed the battlefield and was invincible. They beat Tuoba Shao and made them flee, making Tuoba Shao extremely afraid.
Tuoba Shao once said back then that it was the most unfortunate thing to encounter Wei Polu rushing into battle on the battlefield. Because Wei Polu is best at charging in conical formations, using himself as the tip of the spear to pierce the enemy's defense line, and then lead the cavalry to charge into the formation and break up the enemy's defense line.
It was precisely because of this that Tuoba Yanran had such a big reaction when she saw the cone array before.
Tuoba Yanran adjusted her emotions and said softly: "Our Xianbei cavalry was defeated at the hands of General Wei, and the defeat was not unjust. I haven't heard from General Wei for so many years, and I thought General Wei had disbanded and returned to his field. Unexpectedly, Came out again."
Wei Polu's eyes were sharp and he said loudly: "I am waiting for Your Majesty to sweep away Xianbei. Of course I have to go out."
Tuoba Yanran smiled and said: "Old general, every generation has its own mission. As you are getting older, you should entertain your grandchildren at home and not continue to fight on the battlefield."
Wei Polu asked in return: "Tuoba Shao is also old. Could it be that he is also teasing his grandson?"
Tuoba Yanran was stunned for a moment.
Tuoba Shao was the military god of the Northern Wei Dynasty, so he naturally had to continue to lead troops. How could he tease his grandson with amusement?
Zhao Shan broke the deadlock and said with a smile: "The two confrontations are over. Princess Yanran, it's time to fulfill the bet."
Tuoba Yanran said loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that the bet I promised will not be violated. The Northern Wei Dynasty will not interfere in the war between Your Majesty and Zhao Yong, nor will it support Zhao Yong."
Zhao Shan had a smile in his eyes.
This is a verbal agreement, and in addition, it is only a superficial agreement. After Tuoba Yanran returns, it is unknown how the Northern Wei Dynasty will arrange it, and whether it will secretly support Zhao Yong.
The current results are not bad, at least Tuoba Yanran agreed to the agreement.
Zhao Shan thought about Tuoba Yanran's position and said sincerely: "What I said to the princess in the Western Market three days ago still stands. If the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty is willing, I am willing to marry the princess. Please tell Princess Yanran to tell the Emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty and see what he says. ?”
Tuoba Yanran's heart beat faster and faster, a hint of shyness appeared on her face, she nodded and said, "I will tell the emperor brother."
Murong Bo clenched his fists at the side with jealous eyes, Tuoba Yanran was his.
How can you marry Zhao Shan?
Dog men and women!
Murong Bo cursed again, and when his eyes swept over Tuoba Yanran's body, a cruel look flashed in his eyes.
Zhao Shan caught a glimpse of Murong Bo's expression and didn't take it to heart at all. He further said: "Princess Yanran, you are a wise person. I believe you can clearly judge the situation in Daqian."
"Daqian is indeed in chaos, but Daqian still has the confidence to fight. General Wei is here, and Hu Lao's glory will not fall. If the Northern Wei Dynasty wants to support Zhao Yong, Daqian will definitely fight."
"Second, the Northern Wei Dynasty was good at cavalry combat, but not good at attacking cities. When the Northern Wei Dynasty entered the territory of Daqian, it was not only difficult to supply food and grass, but also to attack the city."
"Third, Da Gan is changing with each passing day and is changing rapidly. For example, now, I have killed Li Wu, Cao Xian and others, eliminated Zhao Yong's internal agents, and set things right, Da Gan will become stronger and stronger."
Zhao Shan said loudly: "Daqian is weak now, but it will not always be weak. If the Northern Wei Dynasty takes advantage of the situation, I will not give up. I will definitely retaliate with tooth for tooth and blood for blood. I hope that the Northern Wei Dynasty can judge the situation. Of course, I have once again stated that I am willing to marry him. Princess unleashes kindness.”
Tuoba Yanran smiled softly, why did he bring up the matter of marrying her again.
She is willing.
But, what if the emperor brother is not happy?
Tuoba Yanran nodded and said: "I will convey your Majesty's words. Everything depends on the emperor's decision. There are many things in the Northern Wei Dynasty. I will go back to the post house to rest. Tomorrow morning, I will set off with my people to return."
She went south to Luoyang this time to force Zhao Shan to recognize Zhao Yong as emperor and to further measure Zhao Shan's ability.
Unexpectedly, he met the unparalleled Zhao Shan.
Literary provocation, failed!
The generals competed and failed miserably!
The army clashed and was defeated!
Tuoba Yanran led the people away, and Zhao Shan looked at Tuoba Yanran's leaving figure with thoughtful eyes.
Wei Polu took the initiative and said: "Your Majesty's choice to stabilize Tuoba Yanran is the wisest decision. We currently only have Luoyang area, and there is a huge disparity in strength. Especially since Zhao Yong has not solved it, it is not suitable to break up with the Northern Wei Dynasty."
"His Majesty showed his sharpness to suppress Tuoba Yanran and released his goodwill. It can be said to be a clever method."
"I have carefully observed Tuoba Yanran and think that she can try her best to fight for it. It would be better if His Majesty paid another visit before she left Luoyang to bring the relationship closer between the two parties."
"The word love is the most touching, the most powerful, and also the most elusive."
Wei Polu said: "If Your Majesty lets Tuoba Yanran stand firmly on His Majesty's side, there may be unexpected results."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "Old General, are you asking me to use a beauty trick?"
Wei Polu said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "Don't worry, old general, I know what to do. The soldiers who participated in the battle today will each be rewarded with ten taels of silver. The soldiers who killed the Xianbei people will be individually rewarded with twenty taels of silver."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Wei Polu excitedly clasped his fists and saluted.
To a wealthy family, ten taels of silver is a drop in the bucket. For soldiers, a few dozen taels of silver is not a small amount, it is already a windfall.
Zhao Shan dismissed the civil servants and generals and returned to the main hall to handle government affairs.
Shen Yuanqing is currently in charge of the household department and has already adjusted the direction of the personnel department, and the exchange of trade with Xiliang Switch is also progressing rapidly.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Xiao Yan rectified the official administration, dismissed unqualified officials in the court, and further rectified the official administration environment.
The eunuch in the palace who is in charge of Zhang Xu has controlled the imperial city's informants and is expanding the scope of the intelligence network to ensure that Zhao Shan's intelligence is stable.
Zhao Shan handled government affairs, had lunch, and arranged the government affairs of various ministries in the afternoon. As the time of application approached, Zhao Shancai took Zhou Huhou to leave the imperial city and went directly to Tuoba Yanran's post house.
Zhao Shan came to the post house, asked about Tuoba Yanran's room, and walked towards the room. Along the way, no soldiers from the Northern Wei Dynasty were encountered, not even a gatekeeper.
Zhao Shan walked to the door of the room and heard Murong Bo's voice in the room.
"Tuoba Yanran, it's in vain that I am obsessed with you. However, you are flirting with Zhao Shan. As a princess of the Xianbei Wei Kingdom, you have no self-respect and self-love, which is so disappointing."
Murong Bo's eyes were extremely angry.
He looked at Tuoba Yanran who was slumped on the bed, looking proud, and continued: "Originally, during this mission to Luoyang, after we returned home, I could ask my father to propose marriage to His Majesty."
"I didn't expect that you would be hooking up with Zhao Shan. It was unclear."
"So, I took action."
"You put medicine in your tea. Now your whole body is very soft. Can't you raise your strength? Don't worry, it's not poison. It's just general weakness. You will be completely recovered in less than half an hour. My speed is very fast and I will make you completely Be my woman.”
Murong Bo's voice was even more hysterical.
His eyes were red and he cursed: "I gave you a chance, but you didn't take it. Since I can't get it, I'll grab it. I'll let you be my woman first, and then I'll leave you alone every day and make you a widow."
Tuoba Yanran's eyes were cold and she said loudly: "Murong Bo, you are crazy."
Murong Bo said: "I'm just crazy. Are you screaming? Are you calling someone? I have driven away the people outside, and now we are the only two left. Don't worry, I will make you scream happily."
Tuoba Yanran wanted to use her strength, but couldn't muster any strength. She gritted her teeth and said, "Murong Bo, if you dare to touch me, I will definitely kill you."
Murong Bo said disdainfully: "How can you kill me now that you are calling Tiantian but not Earth and Earth? Don't worry, after I sleep with you, when I return to the country, I will suggest that Your Majesty send troops to help Zhao Yong and destroy Daqian. I I will personally come to Luoyang and make sure that Zhao Shan can live but not die."
boom! !
Suddenly, the door was kicked open.
"Murong Bo, how do you want me to live and die?"
A loud voice came from the door of the room. Zhao Shan's eyes were as sharp as a knife as he strode into the room.
