Xian Sun of the Ning Mansion of the Red Chamber

Chapter 177 Reunion

Jia Ying hesitated for a while, but still wanted to persuade her, and said, "Master Hou, I have a few words from the lower officials, it's not worth saying or not."

"You don't have to hesitate, just say what you have to say."

Hearing this, Lan Tianyu looked at Jia Ying with tiger eyes, paused slightly and said, "If you want to persuade me to hand over someone, then don't say anything. I am a majestic Marquis of Xining, if even my own generals are If you can't protect it, if you spread it, it will make people laugh! Hmph!"

Hearing this, Jia Ying's thoughts of persuasion were instantly extinguished.

But if Marquis Xining has this attitude, then I have to make a choice between him and Ye Baichuan.

The reason why Jia Ying insisted on coming to Pingliang Mansion was to meet Lan Tianyu himself face to face. It would be the best if it could be resolved peacefully without using weapons, after all, he also has a noble status.It's a pity that I, a son of the Jia family who came from an honorable background, seems to have a low status. Perhaps in the eyes of the Marquis of Xining, he is just a small fifth-rank military officer, and his words naturally have no weight.

If so, it's up to each other
Jia Ying changed his voice and said with a smile: "Master Hou misunderstood, I only have two tasks on this trip, one is to deliver the letter, and the other is to persuade Lord Ye and the soldiers of the Western Army to make no noise. It's too stiff, and we will wait until Wang Jia arrives in Guyuan before making a decision. Master Ye"

"Master Ye also agrees."

Hearing this, Lan Tianyu stared closely at Jia Ying, and asked with a hint of doubt in her expression, "Oh? This man, Ye Baichuan, I've heard of him a long time ago. It's not like him to give up easily. style of?"

Jia Ying said with a smile: "Master Hou, the Prince of Beijing is the main envoy for this border patrol, Lord Ye is only the deputy second official, whether he wants to or not, this matter is up to him, without the warrant of the Prince of Beijing, he can't do it." mobilize any army."

Seeing the disbelief still on Lantian Yu's face, Jia Ying paused and said, "Your Majesty Ye must have understood why Lord Ye left Beijing. He was conferred the title of Grand Bachelor but failed to enter the cabinet. After one year, he was deposed and left the capital again, without the support of the prince, he can't do anything."

When Lan Tianyu heard this, she couldn't help but nodded slightly, and said: "But he is still a university scholar and an imperial envoy and governor."

Jia Ying smiled slightly and said, "So, Lord Hou also needs to show some gesture here."

"What do you mean?" Lan Tianyu squinted slightly at Jia Ying and asked.

Jia Ying's complexion did not change, and he said calmly: "The official came from Guyuan. Before coming here, in order to ease the relationship with the soldiers of the Western Army, Mr. Ye specially sent invitations to the battalion leaders. The banquet, but no one came. At this time, I am afraid that Lord Hou will have to speak. What I mean is that I can persuade Mr. Ye to come to Pingliang City in person, and invite Lord Hou to invite all the battalion leaders under his command. , since there is a misunderstanding between the two parties, it is good to untie him."

Hearing that Ye Baichuan was asked to come to Pingliang City in person, Lantianyu raised his eyelids slightly.No matter what, Ye Baichuan had served as a heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials. Although he had a title and was in charge of the Western Army camp, he was not qualified to let him come to pay homage.I don't see that since Ye Baichuan came to Shaanxi, he has only passed a few name cards to the Xining Hou Mansion, even if he didn't respond, and he didn't see the other party visit.

Not because of anything else, even if Ye Baichuan was deposed, he was the one who was closest to the cabinet ministers, and a bachelor has the face of a bachelor.

In his capacity, if he can come to Pingliang in person.
It's just that Lan Tianyu is still a little worried. When the general leaves the camp, it is the easiest time for others to turn around.

"If he has the heart, he can just come here. It will be the same if the other camp owners don't come here in the future."

Jia Ying smiled wryly and said, "Master Hou, since we want to coexist peacefully, we must show enough sincerity. As Lord Hou said, in addition to being the deputy envoy on patrol, Mr. Ye also leads the imperial mission. As the governor of Shanxi, he has the right to report on a full-time basis, if he really insists on fighting against Lord Hou to the end, I am afraid that both sides will suffer."

"Hmph! Benhou has guarded the western border for more than [-] years, will he be afraid of him?" Lantian Yuhu said in shock.

When Jia Ying heard this, she felt helpless and lamented for a moment.

Lan Tianyu is too domineering. It may be right to be domineering in the army, but not in the officialdom.There is no such thing as taking advantage but not losing. Even Li Endi has to back down a step at the right time, let alone you, a martial artist with a heavy hand.

"Master Hou, don't forget that Lord Ye came here by the emperor's order. Lord Hou may not care about Ye Baichuan, but he cannot ignore the order of the emperor." Jia Ying said solemnly.

"Is this what you mean, or what the prince means?" Lan Tianyu turned to look at Jia Ying and asked.

Jia Ying took out another item from her bosom, but it was the warrant from the Beijing Prince's Mansion, looked at Lan Tianyu and said: "The meaning of the lower official is the meaning of the prince."

Lan Tianyu glanced at the warrant, her heart sank slightly.

He may not care about Ye Baichuan, but he can't ignore the orders from the Beijing Palace. The four palaces have always respected the Beiwang Palace. Is it the King of Beijing?

"Since it's the prince's intention, then let's do it this way. You go back and pass a sentence to Ye Baichuan for me, just say: This Marquis is in Pingliang City."

Jia Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, Lan Tianyu still had concerns, otherwise their plan would be very difficult to succeed.

The matter has been settled, Jia Ying has no reason to stay any longer, and Lan Tianyu didn't keep him either, leaving Xininghou's mansion, Jia Ying went straight to Guyuan.

After Jia Ying left, Lan Tianyu was still sitting alone in the empty hall, and suddenly said: "Send someone to watch them!"

After the voice fell, a voice sounded from the shadow: "Yes!"

In Guyuan City, imperial envoys camped.

"He agreed?" Ye Baichuan looked at Jia Ying and asked.

Jia Ying nodded, and said worriedly: "I'm just worried that the Marquis of Xining may not transfer all the battalion generals to Pingliang City. We still have a little less soldiers and horses at our disposal!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Baichuan nodded in agreement.

"How many troops do you need?"

Jia Ying pondered for a while and said, "Guyuan Town has a total of [-] officers and soldiers. Right now, there are [-] soldiers in three battalions of frontier troops just outside Guyuan City. If you want to suppress them and dare not act rashly, No matter how many times the enemy's strength is required, moreover, it must be fast, and the mobilization of soldiers and horses must not be detected in advance."

"Don't think about twice the number of troops. I will add another battalion of troops to you at most. How to make things happen is up to you to figure out a way. In short, this old man's life is in your hands." Ye Baichuan stopped from pacing, looked at Jia Ying and said.

Jia Ying couldn't help laughing wryly, does Master Ye really believe in him?Is it a little rushed?

But he asked curiously: "Where did your lord send a battalion of soldiers and horses?"

The soldiers and horses near Guyuan Town were under the control of Lantian Jade, and Wang Ziteng was just restraining himself. If he wanted to mobilize the army, he could not avoid Lantian Jade.Unless troops are transferred from nearby towns, such as Gansu Town in the west, Ningxia Town in the north, and Yansui Town in the northeast, even if reinforcements are dispatched from abroad, the army will not be able to escape Lantian Yu's eyes and ears.

Jia Ying was a little curious for a moment, where did Ye Baichuan transform into a heavenly soldier and general.

Ye Baichuan looked at Jia Ying, shook his head and said, "I don't have a tiger talisman in my hand, do you have the prince's warrant, where can I send you troops. But there is one person you can try to find."

"Who?"

"Suzhong County King Yang You!"

When Jia Ying heard this, she happily asked, "Where is he?"

Ye Baichuan raised his finger and pointed to the west: "The Jinglu Guard next to Guyuan Town, he is now the commander of the Jinglu Guard, I know you have a good relationship, you can go to him to try. But the old man still wants to Just to remind you, although the Jinglu Guards are not affiliated to Guyuan Town, they are under the control of the Western Army camp, and I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not."

At the beginning of the establishment of the Western Army Camp, it was to coordinate the four towns in the Northwest, and to unify the power of command and joint operations when necessary. Therefore, the Western Army Camp has the right to intervene in any major military and political affairs in the Northwest, but in order to limit the Western Army The rights of the big camp, in non-wartime, the border town and the surrounding guards have an independent military regime.

"I have to trouble my lord to go out of the city in two days, so that it is convenient for the officials to do things."

Ye Baichuan smiled slightly when he heard the words, and fell silent, keeping everything in silence.

After Jia Ying returned to her residence, she called Zhou Xier and Babli into the room, and she didn't know what they had explained. Er saw Xier leave the room, and soon brought a man with a similar figure to Jia Ying. The accompanying guards returned to the room.

In the next few days, the imperial envoy's camp was completely quiet, except that occasionally Jia Ying would show up with Ye Baichuan, but he seldom spoke.

On this day, a fast horse came from the direction of Gansu Town and drove straight into the imperial envoy camp.

On the second day, Ye Baichuan, the deputy border patrol envoy and the governor of Shaanxi, was ordered to go out of the city to inspect the frontier fortress of Guyuan Town, accompanied by Jia Ying, a member of the military department, and hundreds of embroidered guards and soldiers. armor, followed behind Jia Ying.

After the team left the city, when they passed a mountain pass, no one noticed. A dark-faced soldier who fell at the back suddenly fell behind and ran into the wormwood next to him.

At the southern foot of the remaining veins of the Helan Mountains, on the northeast side of the ancient Lanzhou City, close to the gap of the Great Wall of the Frontier Fortress, no more than a dozen miles away, there is a small-scale city named Jingyuan.

On this day, a group of hundreds of cavalrymen galloped in from the gap of the Great Wall from the direction of the northern grassland. On the beacon tower not far away, there was no beacon fire, because this group of cavalrymen wore The armor of the big dry soldiers is covered with wind and frost, and there are still bloodstains that have dried up in the gaps between the armor leaves. Some cavalrymen still have one or two heads hanging on their horses. Just looking at the hairstyle of the heads, it should be The demeanor of the barbarian.

The leader is a general with a beard and a strong figure, so that people can't tell his real age, but just listening to the conversation between him and the soldiers under his command, this person should not be very old.

On his horse, there was a person lying horizontally, his hands and feet were bound by ropes, only the screams of a woman came out from his mouth from time to time, which caused the young general to let out a wild laugh from time to time.

"You son of a bitch, after going out so many times, I finally met someone who doesn't have a handle!"

As soon as the words fell, the soldiers next to him burst into laughter.

"Boss, you can't forget us brothers for such a good thing!"

"I'll reward you guys when I turn back and wait for the master to enjoy himself!"

The young general looked at the soldiers behind him and said loudly: "Brothers, speed up, I'm going back to the city soon, I can't wait any longer."

"Hahahaha!"

"drive!"

Seeing that after passing the mountain pass, Jingyuan City was in front of him, so when the army passed through the high mountain, they only heard the sound of a string being stretched from the loess slope next to it.

Immediately, a soldier exclaimed: "Boss, be careful!"

The young general lowered his body in an instant, but there was no sign of any arrows being shot. Everyone reined in their horseshoes, some soldiers set up their bowstrings, and some raised their light crossbows, looking forward to be on guard.

The young general waved his hand and signaled everyone to put away their bows and arrows. Since they were empty strings, they should not be enemies. It's just that they are in this fortified place. Who would have the guts to make such a joke with him.

But there was a slow sound of horseshoes on the Huangtu slope, and a figure on horseback appeared in everyone's sight.

"You bastard, you still don't know how to restrain yourself when you reach the frontier!"

A familiar voice came, and the young general was overjoyed. He grabbed the woman in front of him with one hand and threw it to the soldier next to him. He drew out the long knife at his waist and rushed towards the loess slope.

He said in a loud voice: "What a Jia Ying, you dare to sneak up on your third master, and watch him cut off your dog's head!"

Jia Ying also drew out his weapon to meet him, and the two fought together on the horse.

After a long time, the weapon in Jia Ying's hand was picked up and flew away, and a gleaming blade rested on his neck. The young general smiled cheekily and raised his eyebrows: "This time, are you convinced?"

Jia Ying smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and brushed aside the blade and said, "Master traveled hundreds of miles all the way, I'm tired today, let's fight again tomorrow!"

"If you can't beat it, you can't beat it. You are a big man, and you have the nerve to say such words. You have just wiped out a group of sentry cavalry of the Huns."

After speaking, the two jumped off their horses and hugged each other. After parting, Jia Ying looked at the person in front of him and said, "Yang You, you are getting uglier and uglier."

This young general is undoubtedly Yang You, King of Suzhong County.

Yang You rolled his eyes, punched Jia Ying in the chest and said, "Stop being sarcastic, instead you come to the Northwest to drink yellow sand for half a year. By the way, Jia Ying, aren't you lying? You can't even go through thirty rounds."

"Hahahaha!"

After the two laughed wildly, Yang You stopped Jia Ying's shoulder and said, "Let's go, let's go back to the city first, this is the master's own territory, I would like to invite you to host me today!"
