As everyone entered, one by one, Han You, who was covered in sweat, smiled.
But this smile only lasted for a moment, and he spoke loudly.
"The rebel king Zhou Xiao has been captured and imprisoned in the Marshal's Mansion. He is not allowed to approach without orders from the general. He is under the personal supervision of His Highness King Zhou Tong of Chu and Lu Baichuan, the emperor's own military commander!"
Before Zhou Xiao, who was about to dismount, spoke, Han You gave the order.
"All the rebel king Zhou Xiao's subordinates were lured out of seclusion. Those who don't know are not guilty. They took off their armor and swords and were mixed into the six battalions to serve."
Zhou Xiao was furious, but Zhou Tong tightly covered his mouth.
On the other hand, the more than 800 people under Zhou Xiao's command didn't have any strange expressions. Han You confirmed it with just one sentence. They also knew that if Border Pass sent so many people to rescue them, they must know the truth, but they couldn't rehabilitate Zhou Xiao now.
Everyone not only accepted Han You's approach, but also felt a little grateful. After all, who would be willing to fight to the death while still alive? Not everyone is as crazy as Zhou Xiao.
More than 800 elite soldiers took off their armor honestly, while Xi Zhi communicated in low voices with a few familiar people. The general idea was that Han You was helpless and had done his best within the scope of his duties, and promised not to Making things difficult for anyone will not make Zhou Xiao feel wronged.
"The Eagle and Wolf tribes have now surrendered to the imperial court. They went out to fight to defeat the leopard tribe, a foreign tribe that was not a subject of imperial rule. They quickly sent the supplies outside the city for the two tribes to use."
After issuing three orders in succession, Han You took a deep look at Zhou Xiao, who was being held by Zhou Tong, and then hurried up the city to find the old commander Ren Canglin.
There are three military orders, two of which are related to Zhou Xiao. The emperor's own army has the right to issue such military orders.
There is another one related to the Eagle and Wolf Divisions. Nanguan now has no worries about food and drink. Most of the supplies were obtained by Han You. He also has the right to issue such military orders.
After climbing the wall, before Han You could say anything, Ren Canglin smiled and said, "It's good to come back. Let's go and rest first. Have a good rest before worrying about other things."
Han You smiled again, nodded, and went back to the Marshal's Mansion to rest.
Who would have thought that the old commander who has been in charge of the border for a lifetime would have such a tender side.
Of course, the old commander was only so warm to Han You. If other people came back at a time that did not follow military orders, he would not care whether he was rescued or not. He would only receive five military sticks first.
After returning to their respective camps, Han You also led his people back to the Marshal's Mansion. Zhou Tong and Lu Baichuan took the lead and escorted Zhou Xiao back without letting him go. It was like parading Zhou Xiao in public, with Zhou Xiao forcing Lai Lai all the way. He was kicked by two people.
The courtyard behind the Shuai Mansion, where Sikong Zhao was originally placed under house arrest, was vacant for Zhou Xiao.
By the time Han You returned to the Marshal's Mansion, Zhou Xiao had already fallen asleep. When he entered the Marshal's Mansion, he made a fuss and asked someone to boil bath water for him, prepare the most sumptuous meals and drinks, and then slapped Zhou Tong on the back of the head. Kabuto, finally returned to the wing and lay down on the bed to fall asleep.
Zhou Tong knew his elder brother's ability and did not dare to let ordinary soldiers guard him. He guarded himself and stood guard at the door.
His Highness Can Gui knew very well that the key to keeping Zhou Xiao alive lay in the two of them.
Han You has the final say in Nanguan.
After that, it was Zhou Ke who had the final say when he returned to Beijing.
Before returning to Beijing, as long as Zhou Xiao doesn't cause trouble, Han You won't do anything to him.
Zhou Tong knew Han You's temper so well that he didn't take any prince or prince seriously at all. If Zhou Xiao continued to yell, Han You would definitely not kill him, but there would be no problem in making him suffer a lot. After all, Can Gui was the one who had been there.
As for Han You, he habitually returns to the small courtyard on the east side, which is the courtyard where Sikong Zhao lives.
Sikong Zhao, who was watering the flowers, knew that Han You was back safe and sound, so he didn't even take a serious look at the guy after seeing him.
Ever since Han You's training "suddenly stopped", Sikong Zhao had never given him a good look.
Han You dragged his tired body into the wing, kicked the door shut without looking back, took off his clothes and threw himself on the bed.
Sikong Zhao finally pushed the door open and entered, then closed the door and pouted.
"The Leopard Division is at war with the Wolf Division and the Eagle Division?"
"Yes." Han You turned around and lay on the bed, yawning again and again: "What's wrong?"
"You have deceived others, but you cannot deceive me."
Sikong Zhao's eyes gradually became sharper: "There has always been a gap between the Leopard Division and the Wolf Division. Even if you send the best troops to move north, they will at most annihilate the Wolf Division and will never become enemies with the Eagle Division. The people you sent back to the pass say that the Leopard Division To annex the Eagle and Wolf tribes is actually to kill someone with a borrowed knife, yes or no."
Han You stretched out greatly, neither admitting nor denying, which was regarded as acquiescence, and even more so as if I acquiesced, what can you do.
Sikong Zhao gritted his teeth.
In the past, her biggest reliance was on the Wolf and Eagle tribes. Compared to the Wolf tribe, the Eagle tribe was considered a direct descendant of her Sikong family, while the Wolf tribe was just an ally.
Han You nearly recruited the Wolf Department by mistake, and then got involved with the Wolf Department and the Eagle Department. The final result showed that Han You was not as "stingy" and "observant" as Sikong Zhao thought, and the Eagle Department was not as "stingy" as she was. Think so loyal.
Han You sent people back to customs to report the news, so that the wolf tribe could quickly gather people to strike first. It was understandable and reasonable.
But Han You made up a lie, saying that the Leopard Division would not only raid the Wolf Division, but also attack the Eagle Division. This was obviously an attempt to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Forget about the wolf tribe. They are only allies with the Sikong family, but the eagle tribe is the only card that Sikong Zhao can use. How can she be willing to be used by Han You like a younger brother?
As for the jade seal, Sikong Zhao always had a very strange feeling in his heart. Han You didn't seem to take the jade seal seriously. He would find it if he could find it, and he would get it if he couldn't.
"Don't force me!"
Sikong Zhao finally stiffened up and said in a cold tone: "The Ying Department is a member of our Sikong family. If the Major General uses the Ying Department again, I, Sikong Zhao, will definitely ask the Ying Department to return to the outside world, and the Ying Department will not I will listen to the orders of you Han You or the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty again."
"Sister, times have changed."
Han You sat up and crossed his legs: "When you come out to hang out now, you talk about money but not loyalty. I, Han You, rely on three things to come out to hang out. I have more military talismans, more money, and more imperial edicts. If you compare with me, what do you want to compare with me?" I compare?"
Han You, with a face full of joking, continued: "You think the people in the Eagle Department are stupid, you think they don't know that the Leopard Department is not targeting them, but they still come out and gather their troops. You know why? Because I have divided territory for them, given them food and drink, given them clothes, and given them a place to live in the customs. Can you give them these? What can your Sikong family give them? At most, cultivate a few hooks. There is no point in marrying a beautiful girl to them. Why, your Sikong family is the only one with women in the whole Zhou Dynasty."
Raising his arm and extending a finger, Han You pointed at the door: "Go, you go and tell the Wolf Department now, you said I used them, said I borrowed the knife to kill people, took them out of the city gate, kept them away from the city gate, told them to come back In the deep mountains and old forests, go and see if they will agree."
"you!"
Sikong Zhao was extremely angry and laughed back: "Han You, don't think you are the only smart person. Do you really think that I, Sikong Zhao, can't see your plan? What you have given Eagle and Wolf now is nothing more than the moon in the mirror." Forget it, a large number of foreign barbarians have entered the pass. How can the imperial court in Beijing turn a blind eye? You have also mobilized a large amount of food and grass, and even allocated land to them. When the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty learned about it, they would definitely be furious and attack you in groups. Even if No matter how much the Emperor of Zhou favors you, he will not be able to protect you."
"Really? It's just what you think."
"You knew that you had caused a catastrophic disaster, so you tried every means to ask the Eagle and Wolf troops to fight for the frontier troops to show their loyalty and make military exploits. But even so, you were not sure of escaping unscathed, let alone asking the court to accept them. Let the Han people in the world accept them."
Sikong Zhao walked toward Han You step by step. This time, Sikong Zhao's face was full of ridicule.
"As I said, what you gave to the Second Department is nothing more than castles in the air, young general, young general."
Sikong Zhao looked at Han You condescendingly, and his smile grew stronger: "I guess you have trouble sleeping and eating on weekdays. You pretend to have everything under control, but you must be very flustered in your heart. You are always worried about the imperial court calling you back to the capital. It’s a crime to be punished, but I wonder if the slave is right?”
Han You said nothing and began to clasp his fingers and mutter something.
After a while, Han You raised his head and said cheerfully: "It has been eight days since the last time you hooked up with me."
Sikong Zhao was very familiar with this kind of smile, and he was ashamed and angry: "What are you going to do!"
"Stop your mouth."
Han You stretched out his hand to grab Sikong Zhao, but the latter took two steps back and pushed too hard, causing his lower back to hit the candlestick. The impact was severe.
Han You was startled and quickly performed artificial respiration for the injured, followed by resuscitation. Seeing that the injured person seemed to have symptoms of high fever and was moaning in pain, he could only use local stimulation therapy, which took a long time. , and finally injected five milligrams of high-protein nutrient solution to complete the treatment.
Han You, who was very tired, lay on his side on the bed and fell asleep. Sikong Zhao took a deep breath and his teeth itched with hatred. The more hatred on his face, the gentler his hands became, and he covered Han You with a thin quilt.
Sikong Zhao gently pushed out of the bedroom. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was not only angry at Han You, but also at himself. It was like this every time, every time, and every time!
As soon as he left the room, he happened to see Man Tie, the leader of the wolf tribe, walking through the moon gate, showing his iconic idiot smile.
"Where's Big Pot? Big Pot is back. I'll go greet him."
Seeing that the leader of the Wolf Tribe, who was once so majestic in the mountains and forests, was so useless, Sikong Zhao was even more angry.
"Do you still remember that you are the Wolf King!"
Man Tie was stunned for a moment, then became happy again: "Have you ever eaten ham sausage?"
Sikong Zhao: “…”
