Chapter 834
Yanzhou City.

Shi Xunzheng led the troops to stand guard in the government office, he could hear people neighing from a distance, and soon he heard Zhang Jue's hearty laughter.

"As soon as I heard it, I knew that the commander-in-chief's victory tonight was even greater than expected."

"Shouldn't the Saimen village be taken down?"

Zhang Jue strode in and laughed out loud when he heard this sentence.

"Silly boy, there are dense fortresses on the border of Yanzhou. How long will it take to occupy them? Let me bring the enemy leader back."

Shi Yan fixed his eyes and saw Yang Daji.

Back then his father and brother served as generals in Sichuan and Shu with Yang Dayuan brothers, and Dahuo City was at the forefront of Diaoyu City, so they had a lot of contacts, Shi Yan also knew Yang Daji.

"Pooh!"

As soon as they met, Shi Yan spat directly on Yang Daji's boots.

"Forgetting the classics and making slaves with the Mongolian captives!"

Yang Daji stared blankly at the boots, looked up at Zhang Jue, and said in astonishment, "Zhang Jue, is this how you treat guests?"

"Thief your mother's hospitality, the captive has no face?"

Zhang Jue said: "Okay, don't be rude, he is not a prisoner."

"So what?"

When he was young, Shi Yan had a simple and pure mind.

He didn't care about the reasons and intentions of the Yang family brothers, he looked down upon them and just spit them out.

"If it wasn't for the Yang family brothers who cut off their kneecaps to kneel down to Menglu, and helped Menglu conquer Shu like dogs, how could so many people die in Diaoyu City? My father, Uncle Wang, Lord Luo..."

Yang Daji was stunned.

When others scolded their brothers, they could refute them. It was for the sake of winning tens of thousands of people in the city.

Only Shi Yan, the soldiers and civilians of Diaoyu City who stood behind them and fought to the death, could scold him speechlessly. At that time, Shi Yan was only a child and had fought so far.

Yang Daji turned his head away from looking at Shi Yan, as if he didn't bother to care about this little boy who didn't know much about the world.

"Zhang Jue, so that's how you led the troops?"

He pointed to the drool on his clothes, and asked again: "Don't you give me an explanation?"

Zhang Jue laughed, slapped Shi Yan's helmet, and cursed.

"Little bastard, I've said you a few times, try saying 'thief your mother' again."

This is the lesson learned, Zhang Jue didn't say any more, and raised his hand to invite Yang Daji to enter.

Yang Daji's face was cloudy and uncertain, he felt that this was a shame, but this is Zhang Jue's territory, if he doesn't give in, if there is a conflict, who will suffer?
The steps given by Zhang Jue are not easy to descend, but they can only be descended.

I was in a bad mood, as if I had fallen down the steps and was in a panic.

……

After entering the government office, Zhang Jue asked Yang Daji to treat his injuries first, and then walked into the hall alone.

He led the troops to attack the city tonight, but Li Xia really didn't care about it, and was meeting Hao Tianyi in the hall.

Listening to the conversation, Li Xia seemed a little casual.

"Since I said that I will let you go, you can go back to Taiyuan at dawn."

"Huh? Your plan to alienate Yang Dayuan has failed. How dare you let me go back? At that time, I will tell the princes of the roads that you plan to kill Yang Dayuan when you meet him. It is extremely shameless."

"what ever."

"The Central Plains will only laugh at you for being used to assassinating Xiaodao, and you are also worthy of fighting for the world?"

Zhang Jue stepped forward, patted Hao Tianyi's back, and reminded: "Aren't you afraid that he won't let you go if you say this? Shut up and go back honestly."

Hao Tianyi was taken aback.

His hands were still tied, and he leaned over, avoiding Zhang Jue's hand with some disgust.

Li Xia said: "He doesn't want to leave, he is afraid that like Yang Dayuan, he will be killed by Kublai Khan."

"I didn't, I wasn't." Hao Tianyi immediately denied.

"Oh?" Zhang Jue asked, "Then you want us to let you go?"

Hao Tianyi was speechless.

If he said he didn't want to leave, it seemed like he wanted to surrender to Li Xia; but if he said he wanted to leave, it seemed like he was begging for mercy.

He knew in his heart that Li Xia's letting him go back was the best response to Yang Dayuan's death, and he didn't care what he said.

As for going back, he felt a little uneasy indeed.

In recent years, His Majesty the Great Khan of Great Mongolia seems to be less magnanimous than before.

After that, Zhang Jue bowed his ear and said something to Li Xia.

Li Xia glanced at Hao Tianyi and said, "You don't need to take it with you, just let him listen in the classroom."

"Ha, yes, what I didn't finish yesterday, I will make up for it today."

Zhang Jue smiled and pointed to a chair for Hao Tianyi to sit down.

After a while, Yang Daji was brought in.

If Brother Meng had attacked Shu that year and the Yang brothers had lasted two more months, Li Xia might have had a chance to fight side by side with them.Sitting here today, Yang Daji's status might not be lower than Zhang Jue's.

It's a pity that the past can't be traced back, the matter has come to this point, it is meaningless to say that if...

~~
"So, Yang Wen'an did it all?"

Zhang Jue heard Yang Daji talk about what happened in Saimenzhai that night and day, and soon had a deduction.

"It shouldn't be wrong." Yang Daji replied dejectedly.

"You are really under his control from the beginning to the end."

This night, I don't know how many times Zhang Jue has been ridiculed, Yang Daji looked up at Li Xia with a little helplessness on his face.

Under the current situation, Li Xia should open his mouth to rescue him, and then Xiaozhi would use the great interests of the country, show his generosity, and eagerly recruit him for talents.

But Li Xia didn't know what he was thinking, and was in a daze.

Yang Daji waited for a while.

Still haven't heard Li Xia say those soliciting words.

In the end, he couldn't bear the strange silence, and said: "Back then, my brother and I were going to fight to the death with the captives, but it was a pity that Dahuo City was isolated and helpless. My brother considered that there are tens of thousands of people in the city..."

After talking for a long time, Yang Daji felt melancholy.

If he was given another chance, he would not choose to compete with Yang Wen'an for power.

Looking back now, I don't feel embarrassed as an uncle to assist my nephew. At least I can have family companionship and wealth.

I regret that I should have been impulsive after hearing a few words of encouragement.

Unfortunately there is no turning back.

Yang Daji was very sad in his heart, and finally cried: "Today I feel repentant, and I am willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and I implore the king to take him in."

It seems that we should not have surrendered back then.

Li Xia didn't listen carefully, but after hearing the last sentence, she nodded.

"Alright, after all, you have made great contributions in defending Shu back then, and I will give you another chance to set a precedent for soldiers who had no choice but to seek refuge in Mongolia."

A big stone fell to Yang Daji's heart, and he quickly got up to thank him.

He knew he was useful to Li Xia.

In the current situation, although the influence of his defection to Li Xia was not as great as that of Yang Dayuan, it was still influential, and it could also trigger the princes of the North to think... Yang Daji surrendered to Li Xia, so who killed Yang Dayuan?
"It's a pity that the final general failed to bring out more soldiers and horses for the county king, but the final general will definitely try his best to recruit Qingjian City."

Li Xia had no expectations of Yang Daji's ability, and asked, "General Yang was the deputy capital commander in Dahuo City back then, right?"

"Yes."

Yang Daji was looking forward to it.

This is the time for Qianjin to buy horse bones, Li Xia should give him a big reward, and set a precedent for reformers in the future.

"It used to be the vice-capital commander, but he rebelled and returned. The merits and demerits were judged together, and he was reduced to the commander-in-chief, leaving Zhang Jue under his command."

When Yang Daji raised his head, he froze on the spot.

When his elder brother talked with Li Xia, he was talking about hereditary marshals or even dukes, but when he turned his head, he only gave him a small rule?

"This……"

Yang Daji was stunned on the spot, but Hao Tianyi was the first to sneer.

"This is your mind, this is your sincerity?"

"If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded, and if you have done something wrong, you will be punished." Zhang Jue said, "The county king does not need to buy people's hearts with hypocrisy."

Obviously this didn't convince Hao Tianyi, he laughed and said: "Yes, yes, then please 'distinguish rewards and punishments' yourself, don't expect us Central Plains people to join us."

"How do the people of the Central Plains think that you can count with the opening and closing of your mouth as a slave?" Zhang Jue sneered and said, "Kublai Khan is generous? I'm afraid he knew that he was about to die, so he gave rewards indiscriminately. There's no way."

"Your Majesty dares to allow young and promising people to be in various households, but you only give control over generals, and beggars want to fight for the world..."

Zhang Jue was still waiting to respond, Li Xia said: "Don't bother with him, he wants to provoke you so that you can teach you not to let him go back, he is afraid that Kublai Khan will kill him."

It's this sentence again.

Hao Tianyi withdrew his voice and remained silent.

Li Xia turned to Yang Daji and asked, "But do you think this official position is too low?"

"Don't dare." Yang Daji had thought about his situation carefully during this time, and quickly responded: "It is a blessing for the last general to be loyal to the country and serve the king of the county."

Li Xia encouraged him in a flat tone, and dismissed Yang Daji.

He looked at Hao Tianyi again, and pondered: "As you can see tonight, it is my attitude towards you princes... Those who are willing to surrender will receive a credit and a reward, and there is no need to open your mouth. Those who are obsessed with obsession, wait for me to destroy you In the time of Kublai Khan, it’s easy to do what you want.”

"Ha, boast."

"He can't kill me this time, so think about what to do in the future. Go, go back and discuss with your brothers."

Li Xia didn't intend to say any more, and with a wave of his hand, someone took Hao Tianyi down.

He has shown his attitude in the future, he will win over the Northmen, but he does not intend to win over too much, and he is confident that he can win.

The battle for hearts and minds in the Central Plains has just begun. On this night, Hao Tianyi was the first to understand the strategies and attitudes of Kublai Khan and Li Xia.

The Great Mongol Kingdom will change its country name to Great Yuan, and the younger generation of princes of various dynasties will be promoted and hold military power, and will become the loyal loyalists of the Great Yuan Emperor... just thinking about it makes Hao Tianyi's heart agitate.

But soon, his agitation subsided.

Because Marshal Du's favor belongs to Zhang Hongfan and Yang Wen'an, not to him, the defeated general.

With this thought, he suddenly felt that it was ridiculous to argue with Zhang Jue just now.

Looking at Li Xia's response, it seemed to be very fierce, the fighting subsided, and people had already rushed here to see Yang Dayuan.

But thinking about it carefully, Li Xia seems to be extremely restrained...
