Everyone in the Kunyu Kingdom showed sarcastic smiles, but they did not expose it. The envoy stood in the middle and accepted the baptism of ridicule from all directions.
Several people read this so-called cooperation letter, and then Ning Hui said:
"Since His Majesty is interested in cooperating with our Kun Yu Kingdom, we are also very happy. Let us discuss it before making a reply."
The messenger secretly breathed a sigh of relief, happily said a few words of agreement, and turned to leave.
In fact, before everyone set off, Ru Yuan, Dun, Ru Liang and others had already discussed a project to "cooperate" with the Yin Ping Kingdom, and they only needed to come up with it.
Ning Xu, Ning Hui and everyone were discussing when to take it out. Lei Heng interjected:
"We should move on."
Everyone looked at him in confusion.
A general said:
"If you go further, you will really reach the next city."
Lei Heng smiled:
"When we get to the next city, the army is pressing at the city gate, forcing them to show sincerity and cooperate with us. When the time comes, we can sit back and raise the price."
Ning Xu and Ning Hui's eyes suddenly glowed with golden light.
Another general said:
"Will this be too tight? Will it be counterproductive?"
Lei Heng smiled even brighter:
"If it's the Wei State, I really don't dare to press like this, but if it's the Yinping State, it doesn't matter. They don't dare to jump with us because they are a weak country and they don't have the confidence to jump!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Lei Heng, was filled with emotion. The former Kunyu Kingdom, just like the current Yinping Kingdom, was sandwiched between several big countries and struggled to survive. It also had no confidence to leap forward, no matter which country it was. Countries have to fawn over, for fear that one day the big country will not go well and destroy them. But now, not to mention the small Yinping Kingdom, even Wei and Liang, they also have the confidence to challenge them.
A man with a fair complexion, but the burliest among the generals, swayed in his chair and straightened his spine:
"It's great. We can also stand up straight and challenge those who are unhappy with us. We don't have to be timid and cower like a turtle."
Everyone looked at each other and laughed, laughing happily and happily.
Following Lei Heng's plan, the army of Kunyu State continued to move forward. After Yang Ding in the capital learned of the incident, he panicked and sent people to ask the envoy. The envoy did not understand what was going on and clearly said that they would discuss it. We discussed how to turn around and continue marching.
On the other side, Yang Ding and the envoys passed the news back and forth, while on the other side, Kunyu Kingdom continued to move forward leisurely. According to Lei Heng, some time should be left for them to communicate with each other. Instead of waiting outside the city gate, it is better for everyone to take a look at the scenery. To relax and enjoy themselves, Ning Xu and Ning Hui gave him thumbs up at the same time.
Because of Lei Xu's incident, their clan could not hold their heads high. Although Lei Heng married Ning Yang, because of such a dark history, the court did not respect him because he became the consort, but instead made more people Pointing fingers behind his back, even the Ning family's interactions with him were superficial. Ning Yang defended him in every way, and suffered a lot of grievances because of it, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
However, during this expedition, they had the opportunity to get along with Ning Xu and Ning Hui and enhance their understanding of each other. Because of his strategy, he was frequently recognized by the two of them and all the soldiers. Slowly, Ning Xu and Ning Hui will also get along with Ning Xu and Ning Hui. He joked and was no longer serious, which made Lei Heng feel that the clouds had finally cleared up and the moon was bright.
The envoy came to see them several times, but Ning Hui always excused him and left on the pretext that they had not yet discussed it. The envoy was furious. On the one hand, the emperor was jumping up and down to ask him for an explanation, and on the other hand, Kun Yu Guo's attitude was unclear, so he was caught in the middle, receiving anger from both sides, and they were not human beings.
When the army of Kunyu Kingdom arrived at the gate of the next city, the soldiers who defended the city were all frightened. They destroyed three cities in ten days. Is it possible that the city of Yinping Kingdom is really made of mud? Some soldiers secretly dug at the city wall to make sure. Is their city made of stone bricks or clay?
The envoy never left the city. At this time, the army surrounded the city gate. The envoy was anxiously running around in the house. The noise of people trying to escape from the city kept coming from outside the window. The noise made him feel like a cat in his heart. Claws are average.
A servant hurried in and handed him a letter. The envoy opened it and saw that it was Kun Yuguo who wanted him to go and reminisce about the past. At this time, the envoy finally understood the purpose of Kunyuguo.
The messenger immediately became angry and threw the letter into a ball:
"Reminiscing about the past?! Reminiscing about your uncle's past!"
However, if you are angry, you will not dare to go away. The confidence and courage of the subjects are given by the country. If the country is strong, the subjects will be tough to the outside world; if the country is weak, no matter how strong the individuals are, they still have to be shy to the outside world. .
Therefore, although the envoy was very angry at Kun Yuguo's behavior, he had no choice but that Yinpingguo was too weak to support him, so he had to adjust his mood and hurried out of the city to see the crown prince of Kunyuguo.
This time, Ning Hui showed him a seat and asked him to sit down and talk, but this made the envoy even more uneasy.
Ning Xu took out the cooperation project that had been discussed long ago and handed it to the envoy:
"This is cooperation after we discussed it."
When the envoy saw the thick cooperation letter, his brows jumped twice. This was obviously not the result of discussions over the past few days. In other words, it had been written before the expedition.
The envoy suppressed the fire in his heart and took out the cooperation letter from the guard. He read each page carefully. Ning Xu and the others were not in a hurry. He looked after him. They drank what they should drink and ate what they should eat. Those who want to take a nap doze off as if the messenger does not exist.
The more the envoy read this cooperation letter, the more he broke into a cold sweat. Although it did not completely squeeze out their Yinping Kingdom, it was really more than the tribute given to Liang Kingdom. The only one thing that made people happy was this cooperation clause. , limited to ten years, and new terms will be signed after ten years.
However, the envoy did not think that any flowers would be signed after ten years, unless the Yinping Kingdom could become so powerful that it was not afraid of the Kunyu Kingdom within ten years. But, think about how it is possible, for one person, ten years They have never grown up to adulthood, let alone developed a country.
The messenger swallowed his saliva and said:
"Please allow me to go back and communicate with Your Majesty."
Ning Hui said condescendingly:
"Please feel free to do so, we don't care if we wait a few more days."
The envoy returned to the city and quickly wrote a letter to Yang Ding to report the situation. When he sent someone to deliver the letter, he discovered that Kun Yuguo really didn't care about waiting a few more days. They surrounded the city except for the people who came and delivered the letter. , other people are not allowed in or out.
The messenger was so angry that his lungs hurt again.
Yang Ding received the news from the messenger, his face was gloomy, and he sat in his chair without speaking for a long time.
A general suggested sending troops to rescue him, but Yang Ding gave him a big look, threw him into a small dark room, and locked him up.
Yang Ding doesn't want to agree to these cooperation projects, but do you dare to disagree? Kun Yuguo has already made his attitude clear. If he dares to disagree, he will attack another city. If he talks about cooperation after being attacked after another city, I am afraid it will be even worse than now. For harshness.
Some ministers also put forward similar views. Everyone discussed and discussed, and finally unanimously agreed that they would fully accept the cooperation project proposed by Kun Yuguo without cutting a penny.
After the letter was sent away, Yang Ding regretted that he had gone to provoke Wu Xingguo. What does it mean to steal a chicken but lose a handful of rice? Now he has not lost a handful of rice, but a bag of rice! But, is there any use in regret? Obviously not. use.
After the envoy received the reply, Yang Ding did not pose any problems to him, which made him relieved. Otherwise, he would really have planned to escape or commit suicide.
After signing a cooperation treaty with Ning Hui, Kunyu's army withdrew its troops from outside the city. However, they did not return the same way they came. Instead, they diverted in the direction of Wuxingguo.
The messenger felt like crying:
What does it mean that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away? The Yinping Kingdom clearly cannot afford to offend anyone, but it still insists on provoking it. Why is it so unclear! Who came up with this ghost idea in the first place!
Ning Xu and Ning Hui didn't care that Yang Ding was sitting on pins and needles on the dragon chair, and continued walking towards Wuxingguo. Although they did not enter the city or the villages, they only camped in the wild, but wherever they passed, all the officials and soldiers were carrying out activities. On guard, the people were very curious about them, but even if they were curious, they couldn't resist the fear of the enemy in their hearts. They just looked at them from a distance and never came close.
Let’s look at Ning Cheng and Huang Nai again.
They set up defenses on the border between Wuxing and Liang and waited for Liang to come.
The general of Liang State this time is Xiao Deze, and his father Xiao Hong is Xiao Yan's younger brother.
In the "Battle of Zhongli" in 507 (the sixth year of Nanliang Tianjian and the fourth year of Zhengshi in the Northern Wei Dynasty), Xiao Hong escaped from the battlefield, causing the collapse of the 100,000-strong Nanliang army. In the end, although Cao Jingzong and Wei Rui tried to turn the tide, the situation of great rout was brought to an end. He returned and defeated the Northern Wei army, causing almost the entire Northern Wei army to be wiped out. However, the stain of Xiao Hong's desertion could not be eliminated.
Not to mention, Xiao Hong also harbored a murderer, had an affair with Xiao Yan's daughter, and even had a plan to murder Xiao Yan. Wait, for such a person, Xiao Yan still placed him in an important official position.
Even if Xiao Hong has no political ambitions, it would be difficult for such a person to be reused. Does Xiao Yan really know how to employ people? Or does he suppress officials with foreign surnames, whether they are civil servants or military attachés?
Ahem, let’s not talk about Nanliang, let’s talk about Xiao Deze.
Xiao De was as beautiful as his father Xiao Hong. Xiao Hong was called "Xiao Niang" in "Southern History", so you can imagine how handsome she was.
Xiao Deze was Xiao Yan's adopted son before. After the birth of the later prince Xiao Tong, Xiao Deze returned to the sect. However, perhaps because he was raised as a prince before, he felt uncomfortable when he fell to the altar. Later, he claimed The deposed prince defected to the Northern Wei Dynasty, but because Xiao Baoyu was there and exposed his misery, he was not reused by the Northern Wei Dynasty.
After staying for a year, he fled back to Nanliang. Xiao Yan not only did not blame him, but instead appointed him as the general who conquered the captives.
Xiao Deze is beautiful, but his behavior is evil and his temperament is cruel and evil.
At that time, there was Xiao Deze in Dongfucheng, Dong Siam, the son of Dong Dangmen, and Dong Shizi, the son of Dong Dangmen, in Chaogou, and Xiahou Hong, the eldest son of Xiahou Kui in the south bank. These villains were a great disaster to the people.
