Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 184 Moths
Liang Xiao didn't expect to turn enemies into friends with Yan Zhu, it was unnecessary and impossible.

But he couldn't confront Yan Zhu in front of Dou Qufei and others.Firstly, Yan Zhu's character is extreme, confrontation will only intensify the conflict, and who knows what kind of irrelevant things he will do.Second, Yan Zhu is the emperor's envoy after all, and they are officials who protect Yan Zhu. Disrespect to Yan Zhu is tantamount to disrespect to the emperor.Once they leave a rebellious impression on others, it will be detrimental to their official career.

People must be proud, but they must not be ignorant of the overall situation.After all, they are now officials of the imperial court, and they are no longer pure rangers.

Li Jiao—even the biggest problem with the Li family and his sons is that they didn't clear up the situation. They brought the habit of the ranger to the court.But we can't blame them, most people in this era are like this, including Yan Zhu.

Sometimes, Liang Xiao couldn't tell whether it was his own sophistication or the immaturity of the Han people. In short, he didn't want to fight against Yan Zhu like a child like Li Jiao.

Yan Zhu also realized his situation.Although the Minyue Army has retreated, his mission is not over yet.Especially because of his stubbornness, he lost the opportunity to severely damage the main force of the Minyue army. It would take a lot of effort to force Minyue to bow to the court.

Thinking of this, Yan Zhu couldn't help feeling a little regretful.Losing the fighting opportunity because of a moment of anger is really self-inflicted.

"The Yue bandits are defeated, we should take advantage of the victory to pursue, let's recover Dongou first."

Dou Qufei agreed, and immediately sent people into the water to salvage the sunken ship and corpses, and at the same time sent people to pursue them.Although I know it's useless to catch up, I still have to do something about the form.

Immediately afterwards, Dou Qufei convened a powerful surname in Wu County to discuss the aftermath.With Minyue making such a fuss, how will you live this year?Many ordinary people were robbed and left impoverished. Without the support of these big surnames, it is very likely that Minyue has just risen, and the people will make trouble again.

As an envoy, Yan Zhu naturally had to participate in the discussion.However, the tyrants have great opinions on Yan Zhu, and many people ridicule and accuse Yan Zhu of making mistakes.If the main force of the county soldiers could set up an ambush along the Songjiang River, how could the Minyue Army withdraw so easily.At that time, taking back most of the spoils, and then asking the court for a reward in the name of a great victory, can also make up for a lot of losses.Now, there is nothing left.

As a bodyguard officer, Liang Xiao and others witnessed Yan Zhu being ridiculed and humiliated by the township party members, saw Yan Zhu's embarrassment and helplessness, and once again witnessed the arbitrariness of the village and experienced Dou Qufei's helplessness.Facing these arrogant tyrants, it is really not easy to manage them well.

No wonder Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to reuse cruel officials.To deal with these people, it would be impossible to deal with them without some ruthless means, especially for the descendants of Dou Qufei, whose family was in decline and whose prospects were in jeopardy.

……

The next day, good news came from the pursuing soldiers.

The Fujian-Vietnamese army who fled into the sea happened to meet Liu Ling, the lord of Huainan who came to Kuaiji to collect the wind. Liu Ling commanded the building and boats to rush into the enemy's line, winning more with fewer, sinking and destroying more than ten Fujian-Vietnamese warships, and captured the general of the Fujian-Vietnamese army alive. Dozens of people including Wu He, general Jing Zhao, under the command of Prince Liu Ju who had rebelled against Wu, were rushing to Wu County.

When Yan Zhu heard this, he was very surprised.He intuitively realized that this "coincidence" was a bit too coincidental.Liu Ling didn't come early or late, but why did he come when the Minyue army entered the sea?And it was a coincidence that this battle was won. If Yu Shan and Liu Ju's boats were not sunk, could Liu Ling's big boat win?
Yan Zhu was full of doubts, but he didn't say much.In any case, this unexpected result also gave him some face.

Half a day later, when Liu Ling's boat arrived in Wu County, Yan Zhu and Dou Qufei went to the river to greet them in person.As soon as we met, Liu Ling said with a smile: "Master Yan is really surprising. Not only is he not chaotic in the face of danger, he turned danger into safety, but also knows people to do well, and sent officials to guerrilla outside the city. It really opened my eyes. Seeing Min I couldn't believe my eyes with Yueren's embarrassment."

Looking at Liu Ling's exquisite little face, with some admiration in his eyes, Yan Zhu smiled from ear to ear, and said a few words of hypocrisy and modesty.

"Why is Lord Weng here?"

"I finished watching it in Jiangdu, so of course I want to come to Kuaiji to have a look." Liu Ling smiled and said, "It's really lucky, I made a contribution just after arriving in Kuaiji. Lord Yan, do I have a chance to be rewarded?"

"Of course, of course. Weng Lord has meritorious service, so naturally there will be rewards. Wait for the help to show up to the emperor, and ask for credit for Weng Lord."

"Then thank you sir." Liu Ling smiled, glanced at the crowd, paused for a moment on Liang Xiao's face, then moved away inadvertently.At that moment, the corner of her mouth twitched, as if she was a little proud.

Liang Xiao remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything, but he was really proud of himself.Liu Ling's mouth was really good at speaking, it made Yan Zhu dizzy.After admitting this in front of so many officials, how can he change his mind in the future?When this matter is reported to the emperor, it will be a certainty.

Liu Ling then ordered Zhengwu and Jing Zhao to be detained.Both of them had soaked in the water before, and they didn't have a chance to change their wet clothes. Their faces were blue from the cold, their heads were downcast, and they didn't have the arrogance they had before.When Jing Zhao saw the Lang officials, his frustrated eyes suddenly became fierce.

"Who is Liang Xiao?" His eyes swept over the faces of every Lang Guan, and finally landed on Liang Xiao's face.Among these Langguans, Liang Xiao was the youngest. More importantly, he had a pair of ape arms that were at least half a palm longer than others, so it was not difficult to recognize. "It's you?"

Liang Xiao grinned. "It's me, what can you do to me?"

"Give me back my son—" Jing Zhao yelled, struggling to break free from the soldiers' control, and rushed over to bite Liang Xiao twice.It's a pity that he has been pampered and pampered for too long, and he was hungry for another day, and he couldn't break free with all his strength, and made himself out of breath.

"Just save it." Liang Xiao shrugged with disdain. "No matter how dishonest, I will send you to accompany your son."

Jing Zhao was so angry that his eyes were split open, and he roared, "I'll fight with you..."

Before he finished speaking, Qin Ge went forward, shook his hands and gave Jing Zhao a big ear scraper, causing Jing Zhao to turn around in a circle, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, his face immediately swelled up.Qin Ge sternly shouted: "Bold, how dare you yell in front of the emperor's envoys."

Jing Zhao burst into tears. "You guys colluded with each other inside and out, ruining my great affairs and my son's life. Huan Yuan, Liang Xiao, even if I go to the Nine Springs, I will not spare you."

Yan Zhu looked at Jing Zhao and then at Liang Xiao, his eyes were a little more troubled.

Jing Zhao is one of the few generals around Liu Ju. After he was captured, only Huan Yuan was left beside Liu Ju, and Huan Yuan was Liang Xiao's master. Regardless of whether they colluded internally or not, at least Huan Yuan himself had a negotiation. of the will.If he can take power, his mission will be a little more likely to succeed.

It's just that in this way, he had to be more polite to Liang Xiao, otherwise Liang Xiao would not be willing to do him this favor.

Fortunately, Liang Xiao is not Li Jiao. He knows how to advance and retreat, and he knows the overall situation is the most important thing. If you talk about it carefully, you may have a chance.

After the banquet, Yan Zhu called Liang Xiao into the room alone. "Liang Jun, do you think there is still a possibility of peace talks with your master?"

Liang Xiao noticed the change in Yan Zhu's attitude, especially he no longer condescendingly called him by his first name, knowing that he was really in a hurry.The errand that I thought would go smoothly has been delayed for more than two months, and Yan Zhu couldn't hold back until he saw any possibility of success.

"Yes. But..." Liang Xiao changed the subject and froze the smile that had just appeared on Yan Zhu's face. "Even if my master is willing to talk about it, it's just a way to slow down the war. If you think that you can stop the war at this point, you may lose your optimism."

Yan Zhu frowned. "He refuses to turn to the light and submit to the imperial court?"

"My master is from Wu, he was born as a citizen of Wu, and he has the legacy of ancient scholars." Liang Xiao sighed. "For him, Wu is his ancestral country. It may be impossible to persuade him to abandon Liu Ju and surrender to the imperial court."

Yan Zhu shook his head depressedly, his face became ugly.

Liang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Perhaps it would be easier to persuade Liu Ju to surrender."

"What?" Yan Zhu was taken aback for a moment, and the flame that had just been extinguished in his eyes lit up again.

During the few days he spent with Liu Ju, he understood Liu Ju's mood better.Life under the fence is not easy, Liu Ju even wants to come back even in his dreams.The reason why he didn't talk about it at the beginning was because he hoped that Huan Yuan would win the battle and have more bargaining chips.Now that Huan Yuan has done nothing but defeat Jing Zhao, Jing Zhao and his son, what strength does he have to make a condition.

Making him a marquis should be able to induce him to surrender, right?
Yan Zhu's heart was beating, and he secretly calculated.Liang Xiao sat quietly by the side, frowning slightly, as if racking his brains and thinking hard.Seeing this, Yan Zhu couldn't help laughing.A martial artist is a martial artist, no matter how good the arrow is, the brain is not enough, and there is no courage.

"You go out first. Take a good rest, we will rush to Dongou soon." Yan Zhu paused, and then said: "Let's go by sea, the Lord Huainan will accompany us."

Liang Xiao blinked, responded indifferently, walked out, greeted Wei Qing who was standing outside the door, and left.He knew Yan Zhu's pride clearly, and couldn't help laughing to himself.

Do you really think Liu Ling is walking with you?

Seeing Liang Xiao disappearing outside the door, Yan Zhu sat down, pondered for a while, picked up his pen, ink and notebook, and began to lecture the emperor.Whether Liu Ju can be named Marquis is an important condition for persuading Liu Ju to surrender. No matter how courageous he is, he dare not make a decision on his own, and must first ask the emperor for instructions.

In addition, he will also make a preliminary report to the emperor on the recent events to let the emperor know his hard work.As the new year is approaching, some princes and kings will enter the capital and court. Even if Huainan King Liu An does not go, he will show up.If he can't solve the Dongou problem as soon as possible, I'm afraid Liu An will make irresponsible remarks again, talking about the ways of Huang Lao and making the emperor angry.

If the emperor is angry, his errands will be even more difficult.He must let the emperor know his difficulties before Liu An speaks.
