Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan

Chapter 61 Wei Yuan delivers the corpse and alienates Xixia

After Zhang Guifen returned to the house, she hung the picture "Ms. Li Guarding Niangziguan" given by Wei Shuyi in the most conspicuous place in the house.

Mrs. Zhang came up behind her quietly and said calmly: "Is this the eldest sister of Wei Yuan's gift to you?"

Hearing this, Zhang Guifen was startled, turned around quickly and said, "Mom, why are you walking silently, and your servants didn't tell you."

After saying that, he glared at the maid next to him.

The maid bowed her head and remained silent.

Mrs. Zhang said: "I didn't let them speak out. Did you see Miss Wei when you went to Sheng's house this time?"

Zhang Guifen nodded.

Mrs. Zhang said: "You didn't submit a greeting card and went to visit Miss Wei in a serious manner. What would you do if Yuan'er found out?"

Zhang Guifen said angrily: "It's all my fault for that girl Minglan. My daughter also felt rude today, but Minglan insisted on dragging her along."

Mrs. Zhang said: "I personally selected some gifts. Now go and write a greeting note. Miss Wei has given you a gift, and you have to return the gift. Otherwise, Yuan'er will think you are ignorant."

Zhang Guifen nodded quickly, "Mom, I understand."

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang looked at the picture and marveled: "I heard that Wei Xiaoniang and Yuan'er are from a family of farming and reading."

"Unexpectedly, Wei Xiaoniang actually likes people like Mrs. Li, and she feels a bit like a general. It's no wonder that Yuan'er was a good student and joined the army."

Zhang Guifen said: "This picture was embroidered by the Wei family sister herself. Every stitch and thread is used properly, as if it were painted."

Mrs. Zhang nodded slightly and said, "Knowing things at a glance, Wei Xiaoniang also has a heart that is not willing to live in the inner house. It's a pity that she is a concubine."

"If the eldest lady of the Sheng family is not the daughter of Grand Master Wang, it is not impossible to rely on the power of our family to operate and assist."

Zhang Guifen said: "Can't you give Wei sister some more status?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "When Yuan'er has more achievements, he may be able to get a title for his two sisters. At that time, the concubine who is appointed to me will be the noble concubine and the concubine."

Zhang Guifen frowned, "Can the officials agree?"

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said: "This matter is not something you can worry about. Follow the old men in the palace and learn how to be a female worker. Don't slack off."
-
at the same time.

The surrounding area is located in the large tent of the Yanmenguan Military Camp.

Zhang Fu sat at the top, looked at the generals, and asked:

"Ye Li Yuqi sent an envoy, saying that he hopes our army will return his brother's body. What do you think about this?"

Gu Yankai was the first to respond: "Our army can return the body of Yeli Wangrong, but the first prerequisite is that they can withdraw their troops."

A general named Liang Pianjiang who was born in Zhongqin Bo Mansion said:

"Commander, General Gu, I heard that Ye Liyuqiu arrested many merchants in my Zhou Dynasty, about a hundred of them, including several children of influential Jianghu gangs, such as Caogang."

Gu Yankai frowned and said, "You can't just hand over Ye Li Wangrong's body just because of a few businessmen, right?"

Zhang Fu said: "However, the Xixia army will not choose to withdraw because of Ye Li Wangrong's body."

After Gu Yan opened his eyes, Wei Yuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly lit up.

Just because I heard the word "Caobang".

For Zhang Fu, Gu Yankai and others, Caobang was just a small role, not worth mentioning.

But Wei Yuan knew the value of Caobang very well.

Apart from official organizations, among the private sector, no one can match the Caogang in terms of their ability to collect intelligence.

In "Know or Not", Gu Tingye accomplished a lot by relying on Caobang's ability.

If so, saving the people of Cao Gang this time can be regarded as a favor to Cao Gang.

According to Caobang's principle of repaying kindness, wouldn't it be a good thing?
"Commander, General Gu, as far as I know, last year during the battle at Yanmen Pass, Caobang gathered a batch of grain and grass to support the border."

"After all, the Caobang has helped us, and those merchants are also my subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If we just ignore them and don't ask, wouldn't it be a chill to their hearts?" Wei Yuan spoke slowly.

To be honest, the grain and grass sent by Caobang were just the icing on the cake.

But over the years, Caobang has also contributed to every war.

Moreover, they are not like bandits in the mountains. They are a gang formed by a group of friends who understand the loyalty of the world.

Worth collecting or using.

Gu Yan said: "Simply treat the person in his own way."

"This general still doesn't believe it. How many Xixia merchants can't be found in Daizhou?"

"Besides, didn't we imprison a group of Xixia spies?"

Zhang Fu said: "In addition to those merchants, Yeli Yuqi also promised us that he would provide us with gold, silver, grain and grass, as well as a batch of Western Xia horse breeds, ensuring that autumn will not happen before and after the new year."

The reason why the Xixia cavalry can look down upon the Liao and Zhou countries is because they have unique horses, which are Xixia horses bred from special horse breeds such as Mongolian horses and Dawan horses.

When combined with the iron kite's heavy cavalry, it can be said that it sweeps through thousands of armies and cannot be stopped.

There are also Western Xia horse breeds in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but they are too rare. With a few more horse breeds, if they are carefully cultivated for a few years, it is possible to create an additional cavalry team.

A soldier snorted coldly: "It's snowing so heavily, even if we let them attack, it will only increase casualties."

Zhang Fu said with a smile: "That's what I said, but who doesn't want to have a quiet year?"

"I heard something. Before Yeli Yuqi went on the expedition, there was trouble in the Xixia Palace. Yeli Yuqi always thought that it was our General Wei who killed Yeli Wangrong."

There is no airtight wall in the world.

Such a big thing happened in the Xixia Palace, and a high-ranking official was killed. There was no way the news wouldn't be revealed.

When Gu Yankai heard what Zhang Fu said, he understood instantly.
"Ye Li Wangrong died of poisoning. Although his body has begun to rot, it is not difficult to find out what kind of poison he was poisoned with."

"That poison is only found in Xixia. Moreover, can we use this matter to drive a wedge between the monarchs and ministers of Xixia?"

Zhang Fu nodded, "It's useless for us to need Ye Li Wangrong's body. I will leave it to Wei Xianfeng to send his body out."

"Only you clearly understand the cause of Ye Li Wangrong's death, and only if you tell Ye Li Yuqi what he said, will he believe it to a certain extent."

You don’t need to believe everything, as long as you believe a little bit, the goal will be achieved.

Zhang Fu's order is exactly what Wei Yuan wants. If he goes and exchanges his body for the Cao Gang's people, he will be considered a favor to the Cao Gang.
"The last general takes orders."

Gu Yankai frowned and said: "Ye Li Yuqi now believes that General Wei killed his brother. If the two meet and fight, what should we do?"

Zhang Fu said: "The place where the corpses will be exchanged for merchants will be ten miles outside Yanmen Pass. Let us tell you the specific period. If Ye Li encounters a beggar and does not act according to the rules, then he will never come back."

After a pause, he looked at Wei Yuan and said solemnly:
"I will put the three thousand most elite cavalry in the army into your hands. If something goes wrong, the corpse will be burned immediately, and the cavalry will cover your return."

"At that time, General Gu will lead an army of 100,000 to cover you. If possible, Ye Li Yu Beg will be killed on the spot!"

The premise is that you should not follow the rules before you meet a beggar.

In any case, the transaction is ten miles away from Yanmen Pass.

The one who occupies the terrain is definitely Zhang Fu.

Just because that place was a full thirty miles away from the Chinese army camps of Xixia and Liao.

Zhang Fu can send troops to surround and annihilate the wild beggars at any time.

Unless the other party pulls all the troops over.

But that's not a deal, it's a war.

The scouts of Dazhou are not vegetarians.
