When people came to Zhang Lingyun's horse, they all knelt down with a plop. The chariot king saluted with fear and fear: "The guilty minister has seen the envoy of the heaven."
Zhang Lingyun ignored it and turned to look at Yun Feng. Yun Feng nodded slightly, with a trace of amusement on his face, and asked: "Guilty minister? Tell me, what is the crime?"
King Chaoshi did not dare to raise his head and replied honestly: "The sinner is greedy and should not covet the wealth of the Celestial Empire. I hope the envoy will forgive me."
Yunfeng stared at him coldly for a while, then suddenly swung his spear and hit the chariot king on the chin, raised his head, and asked: "Tell me, where are the people and goods of Liangzhou now?"
Is there any harm done?"
The cold tip of the spear pressed against his throat. King Cheshi's face turned pale with fright. He stammered and replied: "No, no, they were all imprisoned by the guilty minister... Oh, no, they were placed very well. The guilty minister
I will invite them all out now."
Yunfeng's eyes sharpened. It was obvious that a group of members of the Han family had been imprisoned, but he didn't care about it for the time being. He nodded and took back the spear. The Cheshi King secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around quickly, and stretched out his hand.
He called out to several guards and ordered them to bring out the people and goods as quickly as possible.
After receiving his orders, Konoe turned around and left in a hurry, not even daring to stay a little longer.
Yunfeng's expression changed, and he showed a kind smile: "Get up, our army is not here to massacre the city and destroy the country, but to seek justice. As long as you cooperate with our army honestly and don't make any tricks.
, our army will retreat on its own."
King Cheshi felt reassured, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you so much, envoy. Thank you so much, envoy. I dare not, but I am grateful." Then he stood up and hesitated and said, "I don't know, envoy."
Can you please move me to the palace so that the guilty minister can fulfill his duties as a landlord?"
Yunfeng looked at Zhang Lingyun. Zhang Lingyun thought for a moment and nodded. Of course, the city's defense must be temporarily taken over. He immediately ordered Li Bai's troops to garrison the outer city and clean up the battlefield. Yunfeng's troops would garrison the palace city.
, and disarm the guards.
As the order was issued, the sergeants took action one by one, and Zhang Lingyun, Yun Feng, and Liu Yueru, surrounded by their own guards, walked into the palace in a mighty manner.
Yunfeng has always had a doubt in his mind. Everything was fine for so long in the past. Why did a small city-state suddenly have the courage to hijack the Liangzhou caravan? So, after sitting down, he asked: "I will watch your car."
The country does not lack these thousand pieces of silk cloth, so why do you do such a thing?"
"Hey~!" King Cheshi let out a long sigh, with a look of regret on his face, and shook his head and said: "The envoy didn't know something. Not long ago, Zhao Guo sent an envoy to say that Liangzhou was at war with the Di people, and both sides would suffer. From now on, we will lose again.
There was no spare time to look west, so the guilty minister...had delusional thoughts, but I won't dare to do it next time, so please rest assured, sir."
Zhang Lingyun and Yunfeng looked at each other, and judging from the letters captured in Pu Hong's army, Liu Yao was targeting Liangzhou step by step, and the last Di invasion had a lot to do with his instigation.
Although Zhao State has gone through Jin Zhun's Rebellion and Shi Jin's split, compared with Liangzhou, it is still a giant! Sitting on 800 miles of plains in Guanzhong, the land is fertile, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The population is several times that of Liangzhou, and it is covered with armor.
Nearly three hundred thousand, equipment
Ng Liang was well-equipped with all kinds of equipment, which was far beyond the comparison of Pu Hong's tribal army. If Shi Le had not been his enemy to the east, he would have sent his army westward long ago. Unexpectedly, both of them had a look in their eyes.
A dignified look.
Yunfeng thought it would be better to return as soon as possible, otherwise it would be extremely troublesome if Liu Yao really sent his army to attack.
At this moment, the king of chariots struck each other three times with two palms. Not long after, three chamberlains walked in from the back hall, each holding a tray with three small boxes on it. They knelt down and knelt down.
before.
King Chaushi said respectfully: "This is a little filial piety from the guilty minister. Don't look down upon the envoy."
Yunfeng looked at Zhang Lingyun and Liu Yueru, then nodded and said: "It's rare that His Majesty the King has his heart, so I made the decision to accept it."
King Chaushi was overjoyed and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, for the honor."
Yunfeng nodded slightly, "Yeah, yeah!" He cleared his throat and said, "Your Majesty, let's talk about business. Once the deal is finalized, our army will leave immediately."
"Please make it clear, your Majesty." King Chaushi felt nervous and asked quickly.
Yunfeng said sternly: "Our army has been on an expedition, and we have faced wind and snow along the way. We have been in great hardship, and have consumed countless supplies of food and grass. Moreover, the sergeants all have families and families. Because of your affairs in Cheshi's country, you cannot celebrate the New Year at home. Most of them are heartbroken.
Resentment.
"Then he waved his hand to Zhang Lingyun and said: "General Fenwei once promised compensation to the sergeants, but my Liangzhou treasury is empty and I'm afraid it will be difficult to fulfill it. I wonder if His Majesty the King can share one or two of the burden?" As he said that, his eyes became sharp.
stand up.
King Chaoshi secretly complained, but his life was in his hands. How could he refuse to agree? He immediately nodded and said: "Yes, yes. The guilty minister is willing to give two thousand stones of food. How about five hundred coins for each of your troops?"
?" When he said these words, the heart of the Cheshi King was dripping with blood.
"Hmph~!" Yunfeng said slightly angrily: "Don't you think I, Liangzhou, am here to beg for food?"
The chariot king was startled and asked cautiously: "Then...what does the envoy mean...?"
Yunfeng said without any doubt: "Each sergeant will receive 10,000 dan for their hard work, 100,000 dan for death compensation, and 30,000 dan each for grain and fodder."
As soon as these words came out, the Cheshi King almost fainted on the spot, while Liu Yueru and Zhang Lingyun both stared at this man in stunned silence. Even the female guards, including Su Qizhen, were all staring with their eyes wide open.
They almost fell out. Although they knew that Yun Feng was demanding compensation, the amount was unexpected. What does it mean to have a lion's mouth open? Today they finally saw it.
"Plop~!" King Cheshi knelt down again and begged: "Your Majesty Mingjian, our Cheshi country is a small country with few people, how can we get so much money and food!"
"Tsk~!" Yunfeng chuckled and said, "Does His Majesty the King think that I am easy to bully? Well, I will settle the matter with you. Although your Cheshi country is small, it has not been invaded by foreign enemies for more than ten years.
It can be said that you have a lot of savings, and you are a good driver
We are on the main road for business travel between the east and the west, and the city tax collected every year is incalculable. Not to mention that there are pastures and fertile fields outside the city. You are so rich, but you are still crying for poverty in front of me? According to my opinion, you do not want to give it on purpose? "
"Huh~?" King Che Shi was speechless. He really had this amount in his treasury! This time when Liangzhou invaded, Che Shi's former country lost more than 6,000 people in battle. He originally expected to use this money to recruit new troops and horses.
.It's good now, this man wants to drain his treasury completely with just one mouthful. If he gives it, he won't even have the money to pay the current guards.
But he also knows that now people can still talk to you with a good face, but once you refuse, I am afraid that the other party will fall out on the spot. If you try to rob him, the loss to Che Shiqianguo will be even greater.
