Two days later, Yi Jing
At midnight, darkness still shrouded the sky in Yi Jing. A small Fengwu Army unit of more than a hundred people escorted three carriages to the outside of the city gate. The Fengwu Army officers guarding the city originally wanted to In the name of curfew, the opponent was refused entry to the city, but the special pass issued by the Fengwu Army Staff Department was not directly shown to this small force. After checking that the pass was correct, the Fengwu Army guarding the city opened the city gate and allowed the opponent to enter the city... ·················
Opening the curtains of the car window, a short Luobi man was sitting on a carriage and quietly looking at the quiet city of Yijing in the dark night. This person was Zamu, the Luobi envoy and the brother-in-law of Luobi Khan Arsleng. combine!
Before Jamukha could look at it for a long time, the escorting Fengwu army came to the carriage and said coldly to Jamukha:
"Please envoy lower the curtains!"
Regarding the slightly blunt request of this Fengwu soldier, Jamure did not seem to be offended or angry. He nodded with a smile and lowered the curtain in cooperation.
Jamukha knew that the Fengwu Army and the Luobi people were at war. He came to Yijing this time for a secret visit. Both Luobei and the Fengwu Army needed to keep a low profile. This is why the Fengwu Army The reason for letting yourself go into town at this time.
Under the escort of Fengwu Army, Jamuhe and several of his followers quietly came to a house in the north of Yijing City. Because it was a secret visit, Jamuhe and others were not allowed to stay in the official inn of Fengwu Army. , and at this time Gu Sansi was already waiting for Jamuka in the courtyard.
After being introduced by his entourage and being greeted by Gu Sansi, Jamuhe immediately said to Gu Sansi, somewhat flattered:
"I met Mr. Gu in Jamukha! I have heard of Mr. Gu for a long time, and it is truly a blessing to meet him today..."
Although through the intelligence from the Coordination Office, he knew that Jamuka, the special envoy sent by Luo Bei this time, highly praised the culture of the Zhou Dynasty, but seeing the prairie man in front of him behave appropriately and speak in such a refined manner, Gu Sansi could not help but be a little surprised, but he was also impressed. He bowed his hands in return and said:
"Thank you very much, Special Envoy. You have had a long and tiring journey and you hope to rest early. Someone will pick you up tomorrow to meet our commander. Please be prepared!"
Under Gu Sansi's scrutinizing gaze, Jamukha nodded with a smile and said:
"Thank you, Master Gu, for reminding me, I will be prepared!"
After getting Jamuhe's reply, Gu Sansi said goodbye and went home to rest. Looking at Gu Sansi's leaving back, Jamuhe's eyes showed a solemn expression.
After settling down in the yard with a stick of incense, Jamukha lay on the bed with his eyes closed and meditated. He could feel that the Fengwu Army had guessed the intention of his visit. Jamukha was not surprised by this. After all, he had The Coordination Office is so pervasive that it must have already known about the Kipchaks' attack on the Elonqen Grassland. It is an indisputable fact that the Luobei people are in a weak position in terms of the overall strategy!
Thinking of this, Jamukha's expression became solemn. Because the previous special envoy Batu was killed, Alslen originally did not want to send an envoy to Yi Jing. He only planned to withdraw from Youyan as soon as possible and return to aid Elonqen, but after he After Jamuka's urging, Alslen finally reluctantly agreed to his secret visit.
However, Alslen also requested that Jamukha’s visit must be kept secret and no news should be leaked. After all, Luo Bei suffered a lot of casualties in the recent war, so there was also a lot of internal resentment against Zhou. Therefore, once the visit was leaked, even if it was As the Great Khan Alslen also had to bear a lot of political pressure within Luobei...
Regarding Alsleng's request, Jamukha could also hear his implication, that is, once the visit was leaked, it would have nothing to do with Alsleng, and Jamukha must bear all the responsibilities. Even so, Jamukha would still I gritted my teeth and accepted the job.
As for the reason why Jamukha insists on doing this, he believes that the Kipchaks are coming this time with great force, and the Luobei people have lost a lot of troops in Youyan due to their previous strategic mistakes. Under the Kipchaks' offensive, Luo Bei's situation was also very bad.
Even if Alsleng is finally able to lead his troops to return reinforcements as he wishes, no one knows whether the Elonqen Grassland can be defended. And if the Luobei ancestral land of the Elonqen Grassland is lost, it will be an absolute disaster for the Luobe people. Therefore, at this critical moment, the Luobi people need the support of the Fengwu Army, even though the two sides were life-and-death enemies just a few days ago!
Although it was already time for Gu Sansi to agree, Jamuhe, who was full of worries, only slept for a few hours, dressing up and waiting to meet Ye Mingsheng.
As soon as Sishi arrived, several soldiers from the Ye Mansion drove a carriage to the outside of the house on time. Jamuka immediately got on the carriage and headed towards the Ye Mansion.
Came quietly to the door of Ye's Mansion. Seeing the three characters "Governor's Mansion" on the brand new plaque, Jamukha was stunned for a moment and then slightly nodded thoughtfully. After entering the mansion, Jamukha was waiting in the side room. After a stick of incense, Ye Cheng led him into Ye Mingsheng's study...
Ye Mingsheng looked at the Luo Bei man in front of him, who was dressed as a scholar from the Great Zhou Dynasty. The study was where he met important subordinates. He originally did not plan to meet Jamuka in this place, but after just listening to Gu Sansi's report about Jamuka Later, Ye Mingsheng changed his mind.
Although he had never met Ye Mingsheng, he could feel Ye Mingsheng's aura. After thinking about the rumors about Ye Mingsheng, Jamuka was able to confirm that the man in front of him was Ye Mingsheng, the rumored commander of the Fengwu Army. He realized He did not hesitate at this point, bowed deeply to Ye Mingsheng and said loudly:
"My special envoy from Luobei, Zamuhe, would like to congratulate Marshal Ye on his promotion on my behalf!"
Ye Mingsheng was slightly surprised when he heard this. If he remembered correctly, he only knew about his promotion to the governor of Yanliao three days ago. At that time, Jamukha had already set off from Luobei. It was impossible for Alsleng to Knowing this, even though Jamukha said that he congratulated Ye Mingsheng on behalf of Alsileng, he probably made his own decision after seeing the newly hung plaque outside his door!
Although this is a small thing, it reveals a detail, that is, Jamuka is taking the initiative to please himself! This shows from the side that Luo Bei's situation seems to be worse than imagined. This is a mixed message for Ye Mingsheng!
After understanding the whole story, Ye Mingsheng did not reveal anything. Instead, he glanced at Jamuhe with a meaningful look and said lightly:
"Thank Luo Bihan for my kindness when I get back..."
"Yes!" Jamukha bowed and replied:
After saying this, Jamuhe waited for a few seconds. Seeing that Ye Mingsheng didn't seem to have the idea to speak first, Jamuhe organized his words and said proactively:
"Marshal Ye, this conflict between our tribe and your tribe was all caused by the traitor Zhao Fuqu. My Great Khan deeply regrets this. We, the Luobi tribe, are still committed to peace and stability on the border between the two sides. , I hope we can reach a consensus and understanding with Marshal Ye on this point!"
Although the Jamukha in front of him was much more polite and well-spoken than the previous Luobian envoy Batu, Ye Mingsheng still did not get used to him and said directly:
"How long can you last in the Elonqen Grassland?"
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng did not follow the routine and went straight to the point, Jamukha suddenly felt a lot of pressure, but at this time he could not show weakness and could only say:
"Although the Kipchak madmen are ambitious, our soldiers will definitely be able to crush their despicable plots if they work together!"
Ye Mingsheng did not speak after hearing Jamuhe's righteous answer, but an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile appeared on his face. Looking at Ye Mingsheng's joking expression, Jamuhe also said in a deep voice:
"I heard the shopkeeper of Dadongsheng Company say on the grassland, Marshal Ye, you have a famous saying, there are no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only eternal interests. I am deeply moved by your words, Marshal. Take it for granted..."
"Although under the instigation of the traitor Zhao Fuqu, some conflicts arose between our clan and your clan due to misunderstandings, and things that neither of us wanted to see happened, but I think you, Marshal Ye, should, we Luobei people We are not life-or-death enemies with the Fengwu Army!"
Jamukha said this very sincerely, but Ye Mingsheng remained unmoved. Don't say it nicely. Come and fight Autumn Wind Loot when you want to fight. If you don't want to fight, just say it. It's all a misunderstanding. Why do you think so? What about beauty?
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng still didn't speak, Jamukha became a little anxious, so he made his words clear and said:
"Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty is in turmoil, it is a time when heroes like you, Marshal Ye, are fighting for it. I believe you don't want to be distracted too much by things on the grassland, right? If the leader of the Kipchak Khanate is allowed to dominate the grassland, We Luobei people will definitely be unlucky, but I believe it will be a disaster for both Dazhou and the Fengwu Army under your command, Marshal Ye!"
"A strong Kipchak Khanate is not in the interest of either of us!"
Ye Mingsheng naturally agreed with Jamukha's words in his heart, but Ye Mingsheng also knew very well that Jamukha was just saying this because he wanted to bargain with him for a while, so he still pretended to be dissatisfied. He said with satisfaction:
"The Kipchak Khanate is one hundred and eighty thousand miles away from Youyan. I can't control that much. I only know that you Luobi people invaded Youyan and brought disaster and pain to the people of my country. Remember, the war is not yours. A humble person can start it if he wants to, and end it if he wants to end it..."
Feeling the tough attitude shown in Ye Mingsheng's words, Jamukha felt disappointed. He knew that what he just said did not have the effect he wanted on Ye Mingsheng. He took a deep breath and said helplessly:
"In that case, Marshal Ye, what do you want to do?"
Looking at Jamu Heye Mingsheng said very seriously
"I, Mr. Ye, joined the army when I was young. The first thing I learned is that if you do something wrong, you must accept the punishment!"
"Since you Luobei people have done something wrong, you must take responsibility for your mistakes and you should never evade responsibility!"
After saying that, Ye Mingsheng picked up the tea cup and pretended to be serving tea as a farewell. Seeing this, Zamu wanted to explain something, but he could only bow to Ye Mingsheng again and left Ye Mingsheng very lonely. study.
Looking at Jamuka's lost back, Ye Mingsheng took a sip of the fine tea in the cup. As the commander-in-chief of the Fengwu Army and the governor of Yanliao in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would not participate in the negotiations with the Luobi people on specific terms. , Gu Sansi will bring someone to handle it, and he, Ye Mingsheng, is only responsible for the final approval and signature.
The reason why he met with Jamukha today was, firstly, that he was more interested in Jamukha as a person, and also to set a tone for the subsequent negotiations, so that Jamukhay would know not to think about saying a few nice words and he would be exempted from compensation. If the Fengwu Army doesn't do this, you Luobi people won't be able to escape even a single cent of the benefits they should pay!
·····························
·····························
While Ye Mingsheng was dealing with Luo Bei's affairs, An Miaoyi was concentrating on her needlework in the backyard of his house, and in the cradle next to her, the little guy Ye Jingren was sleeping very soundly. Miaoyi would raise her head from time to time to check the little guy's movements.
After half a stick of incense, Qiqige walked into the room, looked at An Miaoyi who was doing needlework, and whispered:
"Madam makes clothes for the young master. There are people in the house to do it. Doing this every day will hurt your eyes!"
Listening to Qiqige's words, An Miaoyi smiled and shook her head and said:
'It doesn't matter, I am idle when I am idle. Watching Jingren grow up day by day, I always want to do something for him! '
The two chatted quietly for a while. Qiqige seemed to have thought of something and hesitated to speak, but she still mustered up the courage to say:
"Madam, this time the commander-in-chief was promoted to governor of Yanliao, how do you look..."
Hearing the word "Governor Yanliao", a strange color flashed in An Miaoyi's beautiful eyes. If someone asked her this question, she would definitely say that the other person was overthinking it. She was also very happy for Ye Mingsheng, but She had just moved from Dongning to Yi Jing during this period, and she was very exhausted physically and mentally. But facing Qiqi Ge, who she had grown up with and was the only best friend in the Governor's Mansion who could speak her mind, An Miaoyi really didn't want to It’s time to pretend!
Seeing An Miaoyi's eyes lowered and silent, Qiqige seemed to understand something and said with great enthusiasm:
"Is it the Murong family's fault again? Is that bitch Murong Qingwu no longer wanted? The Murong family is so anxious to send it to the handsome man's bed..."
