witch chaotic country

Chapter 682
Tuoba Zhong died.

Even if this is not Tan Yaoyu's original intention.But when the situation developed to this point, she could only think more about Qiu Chi.

Now Beiliang has been acquired by Qiu Chi, if He Lianding, the fugitive emperor who didn't know his life or death, and Beiyan who lived in the most northeast, the north had already been divided into two by Qiu Chi and the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Tan Yaoyu is very clear that no matter how harsh she is, now is not the time to start a war with the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In order for this superficial alliance to continue, Tan Yaoyu had to send Tuoba Zhong and the prisoners of war back to the Northern Wei Dynasty as a gesture of friendship.

There is nothing to argue about this, but Cui Yong was reluctant to part with these prisoners of war.

"They are all veterans who have experienced many battles! Even if they can't be worth one hundred, one is worth five recruits. Is it true that they are given to the Northern Wei Dynasty for nothing?"

Cui Yong's idea is very simple, even if all these prisoners of war are killed, they will not be able to increase the combat power of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Tan Yaoyu knew in his heart that even though Cui Yong followed him and helped her lead Qiu Chi's army, his hatred for the Northern Wei Dynasty never disappeared.This is his obsession as a Song person, and it is also a sense of responsibility that he has developed in the Lake Army all year round. It is not so easy to change.

"I understand Uncle Cui Shi's concerns. It's just that these people watched us force to death the young master they are loyal to. Even if I keep them, they can't agree with me. Instead of worrying about whether they will become ghosts all day long, I would rather throw this hot potato to the Northern Wei Dynasty."

In fact, Tan Yaoyu has another layer of concerns. Although the Salvation Army is considered "famous", but killing is killing after all.

According to Master's speculation, if more people lived because of Tan Yaoyu than died because of her, then her merit would not be compromised.Master and Junior Brother Yun can also live in peace.

Whether it's for herself or for the people she cares about, Yao Yu is unwilling to kill one more person.

As for whether these prisoners of war can survive when they are sent back to the Northern Wei Dynasty, it depends on their own good luck.

Cui Yong was obviously not happy, but he hesitated again and again, and chose to follow Tan Yaoyu's arrangement.He muttered again: "Then what will my niece plan to do with the soldiers in our camp who violated the military order?"

"Five army sticks per person."

"That's it?!" Cui Yong said with a look of disbelief, "Niece, don't you blame uncle for relying on the old to sell the old. I have to talk to you about this, old Cui. The general ruled the army strictly. In the past, in the Lake Army camp, every general No one would dare to disobey what he said. If my niece does not take this opportunity to show her authority and teach them a solid lesson, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles in the future."

Tan Yaoyu did not refute Cui Yong's words, she calmly said: "I know. But this is not the Hujun camp. I am not my father either. If there is a lesson, when the night raid fire started, they all witnessed the death of drunkenness. Is there anything that can scare them more than life and death? Although I agree with what Uncle Cui Shi said about running the army strictly, I believe that "driving people to benefit" is the long-term way. Only when the interests are the same, the soldiers will Be of one mind with me."

Qin Zhongzhi stepped forward at this time, and handed several scrolls of bamboo slips to Cui Yong, "This was secretly recorded by someone sent. , Give these people [-]% more. In addition, these people will be reorganized into the first army and practiced as the second army of the heavy cavalry regiment."

Cui Yong's eyes suddenly lit up. As a veteran, he knows best what ordinary soldiers desire.

The gold and silver treasures that can benefit the family, and the glory of the ancestors that can be envied by others.Nothing but these two.

Although Tan Yaoyu did not severely punish those who violated the order this time, he rewarded those who obeyed the order heavily. This is different from when he was in the Lake Army camp before.

"Okay! Old Cui, I believe in you, my niece! Just try this!" Cui Yong is not a stubborn person, and he is willing to try Tan Yaoyu's novel method.

Cui Yong left holding the list, Qin Zhongzhi stepped forward and said sincerely to Yao Yu: "Girl, the matter of sending Tuoba Zhong back to the Northern Wei Dynasty is very important. If there is any mistake, it will definitely lead to war. I invite you to be an envoy and escort The prisoners of war entered Wei, and they tried their best to exchange for the girl to continue the alliance."

Tan Yaoyu glanced at Qin Zhongzhi, shook his head without thinking too much, and said, "You can't go. If you go, you can't come back. Tuoba Tao will definitely detain you and threaten me."

Qin Zhongzhi naturally knew this, but he had no intention of retreating, "I know very well that this trip is dangerous. But we are not the generation to be slaughtered. With the help of Master Meng in the past few years, we have also accumulated a lot of contacts in the Northern Wei Dynasty , If it’s just to save your life, it shouldn’t be a problem.”

Tan Yaoyu still waved his hand, "I know your loyalty, but for this matter, there is someone more suitable than you."

Qin Zhongzhi raised his eyebrows in surprise, "A more suitable candidate than a certain one?"

A quarter of an hour later, when Wang Wulang and Xie Huilian heard that they were going to be sent to the Northern Wei Dynasty as envoys of Qiu Chi, their jaws dropped in shock!

"Wait a minute—" Wang Wulang picked out his ears, took another sip of tea, and said, "Who did you say to go to the Northern Wei Dynasty?"

"She said let me go with you." Xie Huilian rushed to answer, obviously much calmer than Wang Wulang.

Wang Wulang rolled his eyes at Xie Huilian viciously, wishing he could slap this idiot!

But at this time it was obviously not the time to argue with Xie Huilian, he turned his head and said to Tan Yuyu: "Why? Why should we send you to death for you? How is this different from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?!"

Tan Yaoyu said calmly, "You guys won't die."

"How do you know?!" Wang Wulang's eyes were as big as copper bells, "Don't tell me that Daoist Yun figured it out, I know that Xie Jiu is a short-lived ghost, don't even think about it Use divination to lie to me!"

Before Tan Yaoyu could answer, Xie Huilian took the lead and said, "My fate has changed. Listen to my cousin first."

Wang Wulang looked at Xie Huilian with a look of hatred.

He really didn't know when this person changed from a stinky stone with a nose that wasn't a nose and eyes that weren't eyes, to a crazy sister-in-law.He even agreed to go to this kind of death thing!

Tan Zhaoyu was not dissatisfied with Wang Wulang's attitude, and continued to speak slowly: "Tuoba Tao has always had the ambition to unify the north and the south. And he knows that this ambition is absolutely impossible to realize without the support of the southern clan. He has been intentionally wooing Southern Clan, if the two of you go, you will only be treated as guests by him, and you will never be embarrassed."

Wang Wulang was stunned. When he first heard that he was going to the Northern Wei Dynasty, he instinctively felt that he was going to die, but he didn't consider Tuoba Tao's intention.He also calmed down after hearing Tan Yaoyu's words now.

Wang Wulang slowly raised his teacup and took a sip, thinking for a moment before speaking again, "Even if it's as you said, why did the two of us have to travel thousands of miles to save Qiu Chi's face? Although Xie Jiu and I have been apprentices to Wuxue However, they are not your courtiers of Qiu Chi, so shouldn’t you choose capable people from among Qiu Chi’s courtiers for such an errand?”

Tan Zhaoyu looked at the two of them, and said seriously: "I thought that the two of you should be begging me to become Qiu Chi's envoys."

This time even Xie Huilian felt that Tan Yaoyu was exaggerating.He was afraid that Wang Wu and Yao Yu would have conflicts, so he hurriedly said: "As for the envoy, if my cousin needs it, I can go alone, and there is no need for Wang Wu to take risks with me."

Tan Yaoyu shook his head, "Wang Wulang needs this opportunity more than his cousin, doesn't he?"

When Zhao Yu's eyes fell on Wang Wulang again, Wang Wulang had lowered his eyes and stopped talking.
