When Xue Qinglin was pondering, a subordinate suddenly reported that his brother-in-law Chen Tinghong had been arrested.
Mrs. Xue didn't know how to find out about it, so she also came to complain. Xue Qinglin suddenly had a headache, and after driving away his wife, he asked his subordinates: "Who is so bold as to dare to arrest him? Where is Governor Zhao?"
"Reporting to Marshal Jie, it was General Dingyuan's order, and Taishou Zhao sent someone to deliver the news. It is said that General Dingyuan brought 50,000 horses, and he was powerless to stop him, so he came to ask Marshal Jie for help."
"Fifty thousand horses?" Xue Qinglin couldn't help but ask solemnly, "Where did he get so many people?"
"This... subordinates don't know either."
"I don't know? Why don't you hurry up and investigate?" Xue Qinglin suddenly yelled at him, and then yelled: "Wait, call Zhang Yong over."
If it is 50,000 people, then he has to think about it. The emperor was really generous, and he spared no effort to make trouble for himself. However, Zhang Yong must be more panicked than him, after all, if 10,000 people say nothing, they will be gone.
Xue Qinglin thought, if there are 50,000 people, it is better to ask Zhang Yong to share the food together. Firstly, the relationship between them can be repaired; secondly, by pulling him into the group, he can also reduce some losses.
But he never expected that someone could move faster than him.
After Xu Yanze returned to Jinfu, before the stool was warmed up, he brought a gift and went to visit Zhang Yong with Xiang Han.
When Zhang Yong saw them, his expression was not very good. After all, one-third of the military force was given away by the emperor, and no one would feel comfortable if it was given away.
Xu Yanze naturally understood this truth, so he came to visit Zhang Yong early. In his opinion, it is better not to have 10,000 people. If you want to offend Zhang Yong, if Zhang Yong and Xue Qinglin join forces, you will face 90,000 troops.
But if he borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, while Zhang and Xue were at odds, and returned the 10,000 people to Zhang Yong, he might be able to pull him into the same battle line, then it would be 70,000 troops against 70,000 troops, Xue Qinglin would never dare to do it lightly. Even if Zhang Yong cannot be won over, at least he can be prevented from joining forces with Xue Qinglin. With the addition of Zhang Yong as an uncertain factor, Xue Qinglin still wouldn't act easily.
When the two arrived at Zhang's house, they quickly explained their intentions. When Zhang Yong heard this, he almost knocked over his teacup, and asked, "Brother, are you kidding me?"
"Of course." Xu Yanze nodded and said, "These 10,000 people were General Zhang's subordinates, and I shouldn't accept them. It's just that people are in the capital, and the emperor's order is difficult. It is also an expedient measure to accept these 10,000 people. When you arrive in Jinzhou, you will return to the owner."
Zhang Yong is a rough man, but he is not a simple-minded person. Hearing this, he is still a little cautious: "Then you are not afraid of being known by His Majesty now?"
"This..." Xu Yanze pretended to hesitate, and then smiled wryly: "General Zhang, I think you also know the situation I am in. Alas, I just wanted to defend Jinzhou, but unexpectedly got involved in these battles. This visit to your mansion is nothing more than I just want to be safe."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at the other party from the corner of his eye, and then said after consideration: "Furthermore, Jinzhou is not the capital after all, and there are some things... there is nothing you can do about it."
Zhang Yong instantly understood, yes, this kid was inserted in Jinzhou by the emperor, facing him and Jiedushi at the same time, the situation must be difficult. This visit seems to be trying to win him over. Anyway, the Jinzhou mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Even if something happens, the emperor can't help it.
He already admired Xu Yanze, but he had some opinions when he was disturbed by the emperor. Now that Xu Yanze is willing to return his troops, he is naturally happy, and after being polite, he readily accepts it. By the way, he also said generously: We will all be colleagues in the future, if you need help, just ask.
Xu Yanze was also polite, pretending to be distressed: "Speaking of which, I really have a tricky matter."
Then, he said that the Jin Mansion was under siege, and in a fit of anger, he arrested Xue Qinglin's brother-in-law and said, "Jie Shuai may have misunderstood me. I heard that the general and Jie Shuai are good friends. I hope I can help mediate this Second, resolve misunderstandings."
Said to ask Zhang Yong for help, but in fact, it was just talking about it, implying that he expressed his position.
Zhang Yong got benefits, so he was naturally willing to give favors. What's more, Xue Qinglin has gone too far recently, and he is a little displeased, so he immediately said: "Hey, this is no big deal, I just persuade Shuai Jie. Speaking of it, it is Chen Tinghong who has gone too far, give him some Lessons are good."
The implication is that he will not help Xue Qinglin.
Xu Yanze and Xiang Han were satisfied at this point, but in order to prevent any accidents, before getting up to leave, Xiang Han added that in order to thank General Zhang, the Jin Mansion provided the food and grass for the 10,000 people.
After all, the return of troops is a private matter. In name, Zhang Yong still has 20,000 men under him, and only receives 20,000 rations. Suddenly there were 10,000 more people, and it was a bit difficult to eat.
Hearing Xiang Han's words, Zhang Yong was in a good mood, and sent them out of the mansion himself. After returning, he couldn't help but mutter to his wife: "These two young people are good, they can understand the situation, and they can behave themselves."
After that, Zhang Yong was considered to have boarded the Jin family's boat. Not to mention the 10,000 troops, the food and grass alone were enough to make him tempted. In the past, Xue Qinglin's subordinates begged for food, because the other party wanted to raise private soldiers, and every time they distributed food and grass, they had to deduct a lot.
Zhang Yong was actually very happy to be able to catch up with the Jin family this time. Renjin's family can even support Xue Qinglin's 50,000 private soldiers, but can't afford to support his group of people
So when Xue Qinglin's subordinates came to visit, he simply claimed to be sick and didn't even let him in.
Xue Qinglin was in a lot of trouble at this time, except that his brother-in-law was arrested, Zhang Yong was unclear about his attitude, Turkic also came to trouble him, saying that the eldest prince was lost.
Xue Qinglin was almost laughed angrily, and scolded his subordinates: "Zhi Niang, their eldest prince is lost, what does it matter to me?"
The counselor next to him reminded: "Jie Shuai, the last time we attacked Jinzhou, it was the soldiers led by the eldest prince."
Xue Qinglin sat down at the top, held his breath and said, "Ask Zhang Yong, he arrested the man, and see if there is any in the prison. If not, then he is probably dead. Damn, what did you do? Buried, now ask me for someone."
The counselor said cautiously: "Jie Shuai, I heard that when the city was broken, that General Ding Yuan caught a Turk who assassinated His Majesty."
"Where are people?"
"Your Majesty didn't say anything, I'm afraid he will be brought back to the capital."
Xue Qinglin suddenly said angrily: "Didn't you fucking say it earlier?"
The counselor said with a bitter face: "I just learned..."
Xue Qinglin had a stomachache, but Madam Xue came to cry again, saying how her brother suffered under Xu Yanze's hands. Xue Qinglin was so annoyed that she simply went to Mei's place to rest for a while, and when she learned that Mei was pregnant again, her mood immediately improved a lot.
Mrs. Mei was bribed by Xu Yanze a long time ago, and while he was happy, she carefully blew some pillow wind.
After Xue Qinglin thought about it, he felt that what Mei said was indeed reasonable. What's wrong with him and the Jin family? Isn't it just the immoral things his brother-in-law did back then
Now the whole thing is done, Xu Yanze holds 50,000 troops, Zhang Yong is not with him, there are emperors and other feudal towns around him, if there is a fight... tsk!
Besides, Xu Yanze was originally just a farmer in the countryside, and he got his current status through shit luck. This barefoot person is not afraid of wearing shoes, Xu Yanze is defeated, at worst he can escape from the Golden Crow, and find another place to serve the crops.
But he is different. How much did he have to pay to get where he is today? You can't be an incompetent brother-in-law who misjudges the situation and destroys his future. It's better to let the Jin family vent their anger and stabilize them first. After all, the army still needs them to provide food and grass.
After Xue Qinglin made up his mind, he immediately ordered some people to visit Jin's house in person.
Xu Yanze had just settled the soldiers, and was dragging Xiang Han back to his room, wanting to comfort the pain of lovesickness. Hearing that he came to visit, his face darkened immediately, he let go of Xiang Han, and said depressedly: "It's really a sight."
Xiang Han escaped, quickly pushed him: "Go and have a look, maybe they are here to get Chen Tinghong."
"It's true." Xu Yanze got up and straightened his clothes, and said, "Chen Tinghong probably won't be locked up for long, if you want to take revenge, try to do it as soon as possible. By the way, it's better not to kill him, we shouldn't fall out with Xue Qinglin right now."
"Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." Xiang Han also got out of bed, and after Xu Yanze left, he went to see Jin Xueli alone.
Soon, Xiang Han and Jin Xueli went to the place where Chen Tinghong was detained. Chen Tinghong's nose was bruised and his face was swollen. When he saw them, he immediately yelled at them.
Especially when facing Jin Xueli, he called him a 'turtle bastard' for a while, and mocked him 'how is your wife under me...', Jin Xueli was trembling all over, and suddenly picked up a whip and rushed forward, tightly strangled Chen Tinghong's neck, angrily His eyes were red: "I will kill you!"
Xiang Han was taken aback and thought he was ill, so he hurried forward to comfort him with mental strength, and after he calmed down, he persuaded: "Father, we can't turn against Xue Qinglin just now, you must not kill him .Besides, for a person like him, death is a relief, and it is better to live and suffer. Look, let's eunuch him, shall we?"
After Jin Xueli calmed down, he also understood what he meant, quickly let go of the whip, nodded and said: "Okay, cut off this harmful thing, and let him live for a while." It's about half an hour away.
Chen Tinghong passed out after being strangled, until his lower body became cold, and he woke up instantly from the pain. He was hung there screaming "嗤嗤", with snot and tears running down his face.
Jin Xueli's heart knot was half resolved, and after leaving the place of detention, he took Xiang Han's hand and said, "Xiaobao, your grandma told me about some things. It's useless for father to let you bear hatred. "
Xiang Han hurriedly shook his head and said, "Actually, it's not all about revenge. The Jin family is in such a situation that it can't be broken or established. It has to take this step. Besides, it's nothing, I have Yanze to help me."
"Oh, he's a good boy, don't let him down." Jin Xueli sighed, and then said, "But in the end, my father is incompetent. Let your grandma support the Jin family for so many years, and let you... Sigh."
Xiang Han had a headache and didn't know how to relieve it.
Fortunately, Jin Xueli was not depressed for too long, and quickly said: "However, although it is a bit late, Dad is still awake after all, so I want to share some of it, and I can't put everything on you juniors."
Xiang Han breathed a sigh of relief, nodded quickly and said, "Okay, Dad, I found that you are very good at arithmetic, why don't you help us manage the accounts. Especially the food and grass, it's better to leave it to your own people."
In the front hall, after seeing Xu Yanze, Xue Qinglin first put on the airs of an officer, condescended to comfort him, and affirmed his previous achievements. Then he said that we should work together in the future and get along with each other in harmony. My brother-in-law is useless. I heard that he led people to surround the Jinfu. It's just that the bitch is making a lot of trouble, so I ask my brother to give Xue a face, just calm down, and don't kill him.
Xu Yanze also panicked and said: "Where, I was in a hurry at the next moment and lost my sense of proportion. Otherwise, how would I dare to tie up Jieshuai? After I was tied up, I regretted it very much, but I didn't dare to ask Jieshuai for my crimes, so I had to ask General Zhang to help mediate." I didn't expect Jieshuai to come to the door in person for this matter, I am really ashamed."
Xue Qinglin was not interested in hearing these, he came for three main purposes. One is to push my brother-in-law out as a shield to win over the Jin family; the other is to recruit Xu Yanze's people to guard the gate; the third is to inquire about the eldest prince.
Xu Yanze was worried that he had no place to train, so he readily agreed. As for the eldest prince, he really didn't know, he only said that the man was taken away by the emperor later. But in order to show his position, he still helped to analyze: "If the person is really brought back to the capital by His Majesty, I am afraid that the Turks will change the sky."
"Oh?"
"The eldest prince is in His Majesty's hands for two purposes, one is to be a bargaining chip, and the other is..." Speaking of this, he suddenly stopped, with a meaningful expression on his face.
"Help him?" Xue Qinglin understood instantly.
"That's right, and this possibility is extremely high. After all, Turkic borders many feudal towns, and His Majesty does not want to rely on them to contain the feudal towns."
Xue Qinglin also thought of this, hurriedly got up to leave, and hurried back to the mansion to discuss countermeasures with the counselors.
The raid on Jinzhou was also proposed by him. The eldest prince was arrested because of this, if this person really became the Turkic king, he might be the first one to settle accounts with him.
After Xu Yanze sent him out of the mansion, he couldn't help but smile. Xue Qinglin probably didn't know that among his 50,000 people, 30,000 were refugees and bandits, and 10,000 would be returned to Zhang Yong. At this time, he turned his attention to the Turkic prince, he could take the opportunity to train soldiers, and when the surname Xue came back to his senses, it would be too late.
Xu Yanze returned to his residence in a happy mood, only to find that Xiang Han was already sound asleep, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He also wanted to show off his merits, and then make a sauce.
However, seeing that Xiang Han was sleeping too deeply, he couldn't bear to disturb him.
After going to the cubicle to wash up, Xu Yanze sneaked into the quilt lightly, then wrapped Xiang Han carefully in his arms, and closed his eyes contentedly.
After his breathing gradually stabilized and he entered the dreamland, Xiang Han suddenly opened his eyes and smiled treacherously.
He carefully moved Xu Yanze's arm away, then took out a small bottle from under the pillow, poured out a cool liquid with a little fragrance, and quietly leaned towards Xu Yanze's lower body.
"In the past, it was because of too much foreplay that I always failed. This time I went straight to the base, so I don't believe that I can't succeed." Xiang Han muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on Xu Yanze's sleeping face, seeing him suddenly frowning, he was startled. Jump, freeze motion.
Xu Yanze had been running around for a whole day, so he was indeed rather tired, and because he was sleeping next to Xiang Han, his vigilance had dropped a lot, so he was not awake at this time.
Only then did Xiang Han heave a sigh of relief, staring at him and muttering silently: "Everyone depends on their ability, don't blame me."
Xu Yanze suddenly felt constipated in his dream, looking for the toilet everywhere, looking for it... and then woke up.
Xiang Han froze for a moment, Xu Yanze quickly pulled out his hand, and asked with a dark face: "What are you doing sneakily?"
Xiang Han was dumbfounded for a long time, not knowing that the string was wrongly set, and suddenly said with pride the words that countless Xiaogongs have said: "Fuck you!"
Xu Yanze smiled instantly, turned over and pressed him under him, patted his face and said, "You have a good momentum, fortunately I woke up in time, otherwise..."
The following words disappeared in the lingering kiss, and Xiang Han struggled with a 'woo woo'. It wasn't until they were both out of breath that Xu Yanze opened the distance, panting and said: "I wanted you to sleep well, but I didn't expect... Hey, I'd rather be obedient than respectful."
Xiang Han struggled to roll onto him, panting and said, "Each person depends on his ability, don't play tricks." But he was only a step away, and this time he must succeed.
But unfortunately, before he could move, his hand was restrained by the opponent first.
Xu Yanze pulled him to his chest, sniffed the light fragrance in the air, looked at the liquid on Xiang Han's fingertips, and said clearly: "Yu Ninglu, don't waste it."
After speaking, he took out the vial, poured some more into Xiang Han's hand, and then sent it behind Xiang Han's murderous eyes.
Xiang Han's face turned green instantly, he gritted his teeth and said, "Take it out."
"Take out what?" Xu Yanze pretended not to understand.
Xiang Han's face gradually flushed, and he suddenly let out a muffled snort, and after taking a few breaths, he said, "...hand."
"Hey, my hands are outside." Xu Yanze looked innocent.
Xiang Han was speechless, and suddenly bit his shoulder.
Xu Yanze hissed in pain, bit his earlobe, bit and sucked lightly.
Xiang Han was attacked up and down, his scalp felt numb, he couldn't help but let go, and licked the teeth marks.
Xu Yanze couldn't help but breathe a little harder, suddenly let go of him, and did it himself. After waiting for a while, he held Xiang Han's waist tightly with both hands, and pressed down slowly.
Xiang Han's expression was blurred at the moment, and he couldn't help panting. After Xu Yanze got used to him, he suddenly hit like a storm.
In the ups and downs, Xiang Han seemed to hear someone asking: "This is also the top, do you like it? If you like it, let's try more in the future, eh?"
Xiang Han was probably controlled by Kuai Li, and there seemed to be electric current flowing all over his body, and he felt numb. He couldn't help wrapping his arms around the opponent's neck, panting intermittently: "Hi, like..."
Xu Yanze paused for a moment, his eyes darkened for a while, and then became more fierce, as if he wanted to merge with him.
Xiang Han didn't know when it all ended, he only vaguely remembered that his body was still shaking before falling asleep.
The next morning, he woke up shaking again, and couldn't help moaning.
"Are you awake?" Xu Yanze's voice was hoarse, he lowered his head and kissed him, tossing and turning.
When he was let go, Xiang Han gasped for a while, then looked at him in shock, and asked with a trembling voice: "You, you can't be... you've been tossing around until now, right?"
Xu Yanze couldn't help laughing, rubbed against his ear, and said, "I really want to, but if that's the case, I'm afraid everyone will die."
Xiang Han breathed a sigh of relief, but a numbness came from somewhere, causing him to groan again, and refused: "I, I can't do it, you hurry... um."
"You are the one who wants to be on top, how can you say no?" Xu Yanze suddenly exerted force.
With tears in the corners of Xiang Han's eyes, he sobbed: "It's not... er, no, it's not on it, and, you took advantage of me falling asleep..."
Xu Yanze kissed him, and said with a smile: "Both each other, be good, just change your position and it will be fine soon."
This "immediately" is half an hour. When Xiang Han got up, his waist was sore and his legs were weak, and Xu Yanze helped him to eat at the table.
After breakfast, he didn't go anywhere, just lying on the wicker chair in the yard to rest. Xu Yanze didn't go out either, serving tea and water around him, smiling and working hard the whole time.
This time, I finally fell without two rounds, which is really refreshing!
In the afternoon, when he heard that Xiang Han was not feeling well, Jin Er came to visit him. But after saying a few words, he pulled Xu Yanze to the corner, and said with a bitter face: "Brother-in-law, I'm not mean to you, right? Yu Ninglu, brochures... as long as I have them, which ones have I never given you?" ? You agreed to let me be a school lieutenant, how did you become a corps leader?"
Xu Yanze patted him on the shoulder and said, "You also know that Zhang Yong's subordinates are going to be sent back. Those who came from the capital are all proud and arrogant. As for the others, most of them are begging for life on the edge of a knife, and no one will accept anyone. You It’s easy to suffer hidden losses if you rush to become a captain. Don’t worry, the corporal leader is only temporary, first experience at the bottom, and he will naturally be promoted in the future.”
Jin Er asked suspiciously, "You won't lie to me again, will you?"
"Of course not, what is the relationship between us?" Xu Yanze immediately assured, and after speaking, he glanced at Xiang Han, took Jin Er two steps away, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Jin Er, you came just in time , I have something I want to ask you for advice."
As soon as Jin Er heard it, his self-confidence immediately exploded, and he patted his chest and said, "Ask, brother knows everything, and he can talk endlessly."
"Cough, it's like this, that... after OOXX, there will always be backache and leg pain, and... that discomfort, is there a solution?"
"This..."
"Keep down."
"Oh, there's nothing I can do about this backache and leg pain. I'll ask my third brother to move more lightly next time. If you feel unwell, you can ask the doctor to prepare some ointment for clearing away heat and reducing swelling." Jin Er sneaked a glance at Xu Yanze, feeling clear for a while.
No wonder the soldiers panicked in idleness, and the brother-in-law didn't care, it turned out that they were unwell.
Thinking that he had something to ask for, Jin Er dug in his sleeves for a while, quickly took out a jade box, handed it over quietly, and said, "Hey, I just asked the doctor from Huichuntang to make this, and all the jade boxes I use are all the same. It's the top-quality medicinal material, and I'll give it to you."
Xu Yanze took the small box, opened it for a look, and asked, "Have you never used it?"
"Of course not, the boxes are all new."
Xu Yanze felt relieved, patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said, "Thank you, Second Brother."
"Hey, what is this? That captain..."
"Don't worry, not to mention the captain, the general will do." Xu Yanze said as he sent him away.
Jin Er immediately smiled, and said happily, "Ai ai, that's kind."
