At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the competition for the deer in the world

Chapter 160 I've got what I've got
At this moment, Xu Yingjie came out.

Zhang Shicheng set his eyes on Xu Yingjie.

I saw Xu Yingjie respectfully saluted Zhang Shicheng first, and then said: "Your Majesty, I think that Taixing City is related to the conspiracy of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. This matter is of great importance. If General Zhang is as resourceful as the Prime Minister If there are more people to help, then this Taixing City will definitely fall into the hands of my Da Zhou."

Zhang Shicheng felt a little moved when he heard this, and shifted his gaze to Li Xingsu.

Li Xingsu shook his head: "Your Majesty, I do not agree with Xu Youcheng's words. In my opinion, staying in Xinghua City is more useful than going to Taixing City to give advice."

Zhang Shicheng was startled.

He seemed to understand what the prime minister meant.

Thinking of the character of his younger brother Zhang Shixin, Zhang Shicheng had no choice but to give up.

If the prime minister is sent there, I am afraid that the younger brother will doubt his intentions, and the suspicion is a distrust of him.

There are many resourceful generals around him, presumably it should be more than enough to take Taixing City.

"The Prime Minister's words are reasonable, so don't mention this matter again." Zhang Shicheng made a final decision and rejected Xu Yingjie's suggestion.

Xu Yingjie didn't feel any disappointment. In his opinion, if his suggestion was adopted, it would be great.

If his suggestion is not adopted by Zhang Shicheng, there is no loss.

Thinking of this, Xu Yingjie had another plan.

"My lord, the Sizhou Army established the Sizhou Military Academy with the aim of cultivating more generals for the army. In my opinion, the Great Zhou should also have a military academy belonging to the Great Zhou." Xu Yingjie's tone Sonorous, firm and powerful eyes.

After the words fell, the eyes of everyone present were fixed on Xu Yingjie.

Zhang Shicheng also looked closely at Xu Yingjie, thought for a while, then looked around at everyone present, and said slowly: "What do you Aiqing think of Xu Aiqing's words?"

Everyone present was startled for a moment, and then intentionally or unintentionally looked at Li Xingsu who looked calm and composed.

Seeing this, Li Xingsu knew what he had to say.

Therefore, Li Xingsu said: "This minister thinks that Xu Youcheng's words are beneficial to the Great Zhou."

After finishing speaking, Li Xingsu kept silent.

All the people present were stunned.

They all slandered in their hearts: Are you talking about Yu Dazhou's advantage?
Zhang Shicheng's face was calm, and he was also slandering in his heart, the prime minister kept his words aside, when will this problem be corrected?
After Zhang Shicheng glanced at Li Xingsu, he nodded and said: "The prime minister's words are concise and to the point. I thought that the Great Zhou Military Academy could be established. I will leave this matter to..."

Zhang Shicheng took a look around everyone, and found that no one took the initiative to take the matter, so he paused.

Zhang Shicheng felt a little disappointed when he saw that everyone present lowered their heads and stared at the ground.

a long time.

Zhang Shicheng looked at Xu Yingjie: "Xu Aiqing, since you brought up this matter, then you should be responsible for this matter, what do you think?"

Xu Yingjie replied: "I will never fail my king, and I will definitely run the Great Zhou Military Academy well. It's just that."

Having said that, Xu Yingjie showed hesitation.

Zhang Shicheng: "Xu Aiqing, what else do you have to say to this king?"

Xu Yingjie: "Reporting to Your Majesty, to run the Great Zhou Military Academy well, you need money. I implore Your Majesty to allocate some money."

Zhang Shicheng was silent.

Almost all the silver in his treasury was given to his younger brother Zhang Shixin as military pay, and part of it was to be paid to the soldiers of the king's capital, which was withdrawn early.

I'm afraid that the treasure house is cleaner than his face at this time.

Xu Yingjie looked at Zhang Shicheng speechlessly, and Zhang Shicheng also looked at Xu Yingjie with embarrassment on his face.

"Your Majesty, this matter is difficult. Why don't we postpone this matter, what will your Majesty think?" Xu Yingjie looked at Zhang Shicheng and said.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Shicheng nodded in agreement.

What else can he do?There is no money, so I can only agree.

Afterwards, the monarch and his ministers chatted for a while before they dispersed.

Compared with Xinghua City, Qingjiang City is much smaller.

At this time, Cheng De couldn't stay in the study and came to the top of Qingjiang City.

Looking at the tents of Tuotuo's nearly 20 troops, he couldn't help being speechless.

It is endless, densely packed, neat and orderly, and every place seems to be extremely well-defended, and there is no loophole to exploit.

at this time.

Guo Ying hurried over.

Cheng De cast a puzzled look at Guo Ying.

next moment.

Guo Ying directly bowed to Cheng De and said, "My subordinates pay respects to the general!"

Cheng De waved his hand.

Guo Ying: "General Qi, I just received an urgent letter from Yancheng at [-] Li."

While speaking, Guo Ying took out a sealed letter from her arms and handed it to Cheng De.

Cheng De took it, took it apart and looked at it on the spot.

After reading it, Cheng De was overjoyed: "Haha, I didn't expect that Li Sanqi gave me a surprise."

Guo Ying: "General, what is this surprise?"

Seeing the curiosity in Guo Ying's eyes, Cheng De didn't hide it: "This Li Sanqi took Yancheng down."

The real situation is of course that Liu Ren cooperated with Li Sanqi to win Yancheng.

Li Sanqi also explained the whole process in detail in the letter.

However, this involves Liu Ren after all. The less people know about Liu Ren's identity, the better. This is related to his life safety.

After all, Liu Ren was still undercover at Zhang Shicheng's side at this time.

If it is exposed, Liu Ren's life may be in danger.

Cheng De was both surprised and relieved that Liu Ren continued to lurk in Zhang Shicheng.

Surprisingly, he was able to obtain greater benefits for the Sizhou Army, and he was willing to continue lurking on Zhang Shicheng's side.

The gratifying thing is that this kind of person did not betray, but took refuge in Zhang Shicheng.

After Guo Ying heard Cheng De's words, his face was shocked: "General Li was able to take Yancheng, which really makes my subordinates admire. In the future, I will take another city like General Li. I don't know if the general can tell my subordinates , How did General Li manage to take Yancheng?"

Cheng De pondered for a while: "This Li Sanqi is using a combination of inside and outside."

Guo Ying's face was very surprised: "The inside should be combined with the outside?"

Cheng De nodded.

Guo Ying fell into deep thought, here should be an external strategy, if it is used well, just like General Li, there will be unexpected gains.

It's just that there should be a combination of external and external measures here. What are the disadvantages?

In addition, the combination of inside and outside, and the combination of inside and outside are indispensable, and if one is missing, all will face failure.

Unknowingly, Guo Ying seemed to be thinking more deeply.

Cheng De, who was watching from the side, watched this scene with relief, without disturbing, and let Guo Ying continue to meditate.

He intends to cultivate this Guo Ying in his heart, he intends to let this Guo Ying stay by his side for a while, and remind him from time to time to make him a qualified general.

Now that Yancheng has been captured, the day of counterattack and escape is not far away.

suddenly.

A figure, riding a horse, set off from the tent of the Yuan army, and quickly came to the city of Qingjiang, Cheng De's eyes were fixed.

He looked closely and found that this person was dressed as a scholar.

When this man arrived at the foot of Qingjiang City, he reined in his horse with both hands in time, stabilized his body, and bowed towards the city wall with fists in his hands: "Gong Bo, the envoy of the Great Yuan Dynasty, then asked to see General Zhenglu of the Sizhou Army, and also looked at the young general on the city wall." I can report to General Zhenglu.”

Cheng De happened to be standing on the city wall, and these words passed into Cheng De's ears verbatim.

Cheng De saw a soldier approaching and stopped him in time with his eyes.

Guo Ying looked at Gong Bosui at the bottom of the city, and then at Cheng De: "General, do you want this person?"

While talking, Guo Ying made a throat-cutting gesture in front of Cheng De.

Cheng De glared at Guo Ying, who smiled shyly and lowered his head.

Cheng De set his gaze on the approaching soldier: "Bring this man up to the city wall."

"Follow the order!" The soldier responded loudly.

Later, Cheng De witnessed the soldiers on his side tied the baskets around with ropes and put them under the city wall in front of Gong Bosui. After hesitating for a moment, Gong Bosui came to the city wall with the baskets.

Soldiers of the Sizhou Army brought Gong Bosui to Cheng De.

Cheng De looked towards Gong Bosui, and Gong Bosui looked closely at Cheng De.

not long time.

Gong Bosui's face was filled with surprise and uncertainty: "General Zhenglu?"

Cheng De smiled: "Just now you said that you are the envoy representing Dayuan, and your name is Gong Bosui?"

Gong Bosui replied: "That's right, it is Gong Bosui who is here, this time, he represents Dayuan."

"Your name does sound familiar to me." Cheng De suddenly said after looking at Gong Bosui for a while.

Gong Bo smiled wryly, and said to Cheng De: "The Jueshengwei of the Sizhou Army has already controlled the family members below, maybe the Jueshengwei has already informed the general Zhenglu about this, and the general Zhenglu may have seen the Jueshengwei Pass the document to General Zhenglu!"

Cheng De was taken aback, looked at Gong Bosui, and suddenly recalled: "So you are that Gong Bosui!"

If he remembers correctly, this person has always been Tuotuo's confidant, deeply valued by Tuotuo, and often advises Tuotuo.

Thinking of this, Cheng De said to Gong Bosui again: "Before Tuotuo sent someone to assassinate me, did you participate in it?"

Gong Bosui was shocked and shook his head quickly: "Tuo Tuo sent people to assassinate General Zhenglu. I will only find out about this after the fact."

Seeing that Gong Bosui's expression did not seem to be fake, Cheng De nodded dubiously.

"Just now you called Tuotuo by name?" Cheng De looked at Gong Bosui sharply.

Gong Bosui looked calm, and met Cheng De's gaze: "Tuo Tuo suspected that the previous assassination was related to me, and with my identity as a Han, he no longer trusts me at all. He came here this time to represent Da Yuan. To be precise, it was the representative Tuotuo who came to negotiate, and I have no choice but to do so."

"Oh, what is the last resort?" Cheng De narrowed his eyes to Gong Bosui.

Gong Bosui: "He threatened me with his family, forcing me to come here."

Cheng De: "Do you think I will believe this? Just now you have stated that your family has been controlled by our Sizhou Junjueshengwei, but now you say that Tuotuo threatened your family, so you came here If you want me to say, you probably wanted to come here yourself, but you tricked Tuotuo."

Gong Bo then clapped his hands and praised: "General Zhenglu's gaze is like a torch, which I admire. That's right, I really want to meet General Zhenglu in person this time."

"Now you have seen me, what do you want to say to me?" Cheng De looked at Gong Bosui calmly.

Gong Bosui looked at Cheng De with a complex look in his eyes: "I never thought that the world-famous General Zhenglu would be so young, it's really unbelievable!"

Cheng De was silent and didn't answer.

Gong Bo then continued: "I want to seek refuge with General Zhenglu."

Cheng De stared at Gong Bosui closely: "You want to join me?"

"That's right! Now I'm in a very bad situation in Dayuan. I can feel that Tuotuo already has bad thoughts about me. Based on my understanding of Tuotuo, in a short while, maybe I will be out of control. I feel that my life is in his hands." Gong Bosui looked very calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Cheng De stared blankly at Gong Bosui: "I need to see your sincerity."

Gong Bo smiled and said to Cheng De: "This time, I came here with sincerity."

Cheng De looked at Gong Bosui suspiciously: "What do you mean by that?"

"Tuo Tuo ordered me to represent him, and wanted to turn the fight with General Zhenglu into friendship, let him pass Qingjiang City, and return to Dadu. The conditions he gave General Zhenglu were 50 shi of grain and [-] horses."

"However, I have asked General Zhenglu that his bottom line is 100 million shi of grain and [-] horses."

Cheng De narrowed his eyes, and looked at Gong Bosui quietly: "Your sincerity is enough!"

With 100 million shi of grain and [-] horses, it is not impossible to let Tuotuo go.

Moreover, he didn't want to continue spending hundreds of thousands of troops with Tuotuo.

Although he really wanted to encircle and annihilate all Tuotuo here, but due to the reality of his military strength, he couldn't do this at all.

Moreover, he will lose many troops because of this.

Such a result is not in the interests of the Sizhou Army.

If he could let Tuotuo go and get 100 million shi of grain and [-] horses, then he would definitely accept it.

Gong Bosui showed a smile line at the corner of his mouth.

Cheng De: "Aren't you worried that you will be persecuted by Tuotuo when you go back to this negotiation?"

Gong Bosui: "The general should have placed people from Jueshengwei in the Tuotuo army, right?"

Cheng De was noncommittal, but asked, "What do you want Jueshengwei to do for you?"

Gong Bosui: "I want to live."

Cheng De was silent for a while: "If Tuotuo wants to cross Qingjiang City, the conditions must be 100 million shi of grain and [-] horses, and the person who escorts these things must be you. So, do you think it is feasible?"

Gong Bosui's eyes suddenly brightened, his heart filled with infinite gratitude, and he saluted Cheng De respectfully: "Gong Bosui pays homage to the lord!"

He knew in his heart that if he was the one who escorted these things, then he would definitely have no reason to go back later, and he would stay by Sizhou Army Cheng De's side, so that he would be able to survive.

Cheng De supported Gong Bosui with both hands: "After you bring the things here, I will contact Jueshengwei and send all your family members to Sizhou City. However, before that, you must hand over to Jueshengwei to prove that you are As for the identity, if your family sees it, they won’t regard Jueshengwei as an enemy, but will cooperate with Jueshengwei’s actions.”

Gong Bo pondered for a while, then nodded in agreement: "What the general said makes sense. I'll write it now."

After finishing speaking, Gong Bo asked Cheng De for paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and splashed ink on the city wall.

In a short time, a letterhead was completed.

Gong Bo then handed the letter to Cheng De, and after Cheng De accepted it, he said to Gong Bo: "What I said just now, you also write it down, I will put my name on it, and you bring it to me." Tuotuo. I believe that if he really wants to stop fighting in Qingjiang City, he will definitely agree to let you escort these things."

Gong Bo then nodded solemnly and followed his advice.

Cheng De also signed his name on the negotiation document written by Gong Bosui.

After the matter was over, Gong Bo then reminded Cheng Dedao: "Tuotuo this person, regards the master as a serious problem for Dayuan's confidant. Regarding this person, the master needs to take more precautions."

Cheng De nodded: "I already know what you mean. I will be prepared. If Tuotuo breaks the contract, I will let him understand the consequences—consequences he cannot bear."

Gong Bosui's heart trembled. Although he didn't know the source of Cheng De's self-confidence, he clearly felt the firmness and strong self-confidence in Cheng De's words.

"Since this is the case, the subordinate will not say much. Then the subordinate will leave for the time being."

Cheng De nodded his head lightly, and took a deep look at Gong Bosui: "You can keep the promise for life, and you can't break the promise if you want to."

Gong Bo then turned and left, and said: "You have got what you want, and you will never violate it in a thousand years."

Cheng De showed smile lines at the corners of his mouth, and watched Gong Bosui leave with a bit of gentleness in his eyes.
