Yun Shang and Qin Yi went to the big tent of the Chinese army together, and the guards guarding the door saw Qin Yi, but they didn't ask any questions.
Qianzhuo and the dark guard stayed outside the camp, and Yunshang and Qinyi entered the camp.
"Is the delivery of food and grass going smoothly?" Yunshang asked.
Qin Yi nodded: "This time because the grain and grass were not mobilized from the court, many people staring at Jincheng were unprepared. Moreover, the grain and grass were sent in the name of caravans by our merchants who set up hidden stakes. Famous merchants, ordinary bandits dare not move, but everything is relatively smooth."
As Qin Yi said, she took a booklet from the table beside her: "This is a summary of the current list of food and payment."
Yun Chang flipped through it casually and nodded.
"General Zhao said that the mobilization of food and salaries this time not only made the food and salaries available in a timely manner, but also did not go through officials from all over the country, and there was no situation where officials filled their pockets with old ones. All the food and salaries delivered were excellent things. The new grain, the cotton inside the cotton coat is also new cotton, and the soldiers in the camp were very happy when they saw this grain and grass, and their morale was greatly encouraged."
Hearing what Qin Yi said, Yun Shang also had a smile in his eyes: "That's good. It's just that there are a lot of meticulous work in this camp. Although the food and grass are delivered, we must be very careful. .”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, General Zhao has already thought of this. When the food and grass are delivered, they will be placed in hidden places in the city and outside the city. Each time, only a few days' worth will be transported into the camp. Others have no way of predicting that next time Where will the food and grass come from?"
Yun Shang nodded: "This is an excellent idea. General Zhao is very thoughtful, which is admirable."
"Thank you, Ma'am, for your compliment."
Yun Shang burst out laughing: "Tsk, it really is a newlywed, sweet and sweet. I am praising General Zhao, but you promised quickly."
Qin Yi's face was flushed: "General Zhao...isn't General Zhao not here now?"
Yun Chang's smile deepened: "Yes, yes, he is not now, so as a family member of General Zhao, you can naturally receive my appreciation."
"Your Majesty is teasing me again."
The two were laughing when a voice came from outside the door. Yun Shang glanced at Qin Yi with a smile on her face: "Your General Zhao is back."
As soon as the words fell, Zhao Yingjie walked in from the door before Qin Yi could speak.
Seeing Yun Shang, Zhao Yingjie paused for a moment, doubts flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi nodded towards Zhao Yingjie, and said in a low voice, "It's the master."
Only then did Zhao Yingjie hurriedly salute Yun Shang: "The last general pays his respects to the empress."
Yun Shang quickly helped him up: "General Zhao, you don't have to be polite."
"Just now I was talking to Qin Yi that General Zhao's method of hiding grain and grass in various places outside the city and transporting them to the camp in batches is very good. In this way, the safety of grain and grass can be ensured."
"The empress is ridiculous."
Yunshang smiled, and went straight to the point: "When I was in Nanxun Town, I received news that someone from Yelang Kingdom had contacted you. Have you met them? What are their intentions?"
Zhao Yingjie pursed his lips: "It is to instigate me against me, saying that if I take refuge in them, they can help me create military exploits and make me the number one military general of the Xia Kingdom. .If I don't know the current affairs, I can be accused of collaborating with the enemy and put to death."
Yun Shang sneered: "It's not what I expected, but their tone is too loud, right? The first general of Xia Kingdom? The emperor of Xia Kingdom?"
Zhao Yingjie also smiled: "Yes, they said, they know my life experience, they know that the current Empress Dowager of Xia Kingdom is my biological mother, and Your Majesty is my half-brother, and they say that this throne is related to me by blood." If my elder brother can do it, why can't I do it. He also said, speaking of which, I am also the grandson of Duke Hua, if I have the heart, not only will they help, the Duke of Hua should not have any objections."
Yun Chang lowered her eyes and laughed: "I don't know if that's what they said when they persuaded Xia Houjing before. How will they support you to the top? How can they accuse you of collaborating with the enemy if you are ignorant of current affairs? What are they going to do?" ?”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yingjie pursed his lips: "They said that they captured tens of thousands of people from the Xia Kingdom as prisoners in the army. When the time comes, they will dress these soldiers from the Kingdom of Xia in the clothes of soldiers from the Kingdom of Yelang They sent them to battle."
"If I agree to cooperate with them, then they will retreat, so that I can go in and kill a mile, and they are even willing to let me build a city."
"If I don't agree, they will ask someone to give a memorial to His Majesty, saying that I am eager for quick success, and for the sake of military exploits, I used Xia people to pretend to be Yelang soldiers to slaughter. They will also forge my correspondence with Yelang..."
Yun Shang gritted her teeth: "Their wishful thinking is really good!"
Yun Shang snorted coldly: "You can check it out. They said that it is true or false that they arrested tens of thousands of Xia people and sent them to the barracks?"
"There is such a thing." Zhao Yingjie's face was a little tired: "Before they sneaked into the border of Xiaguo, in some small villages and towns that are inaccessible, they pretended to recruit part-time workers, saying that they were going into the mountains to log, and the rewards were given. It was very rich and lured many Xia people. They were then lured to the mountains, set traps and arrested, and sent back to the army camp as prisoners."
The blue veins on Yun Shang's forehead popped up: "It's a poisonous plan."
Zhao Yingjie nodded: "They sent me a letter the day before yesterday, saying that they would give me two days to consider. In two days, even if I wanted to send the letter back to Jincheng, it would be too late. Fortunately, the empress happened to be at the border. If not, wait After the incident, no matter what choice the general makes, I'm afraid that he will not be able to clean up by jumping into the Yellow River."
Yun Chang responded, and frowned slightly: "What are your plans regarding this matter?"
Zhao Yingjie was silent for a moment before opening his mouth and said: "First pretend to agree, and then try every means to find out where those people are being imprisoned, and then rescue them."
"Those people are the bargaining chips they use to threaten me. As long as those people can be rescued and they have nothing to threaten me, everything will be fine."
Yunshang narrowed her eyes: "I'm afraid that Yelang Country is not stupid. If we can think of it, they can naturally think of it. It's one thing for them to detain people in a secret place. What's more scary is that they It's not worth it to use Yelang people to pretend to be the people of our Xia country, and then try our best to rescue them, but instead fall into someone else's trap..."
