Jia Rong said angrily: "What are we two families? This general represents the Han Dynasty. How can your family and mine have anything to talk with you rebels? If Han Sui surrenders, I will be very interested."
"
Yan Liang did not hear the constant curses that Jia Rong had expected. Instead, he smiled and said: "General, why are you like this? Neither you nor I are pedantic people. Why bother to say those superficial words? General, if you have any conditions, just say it, as long as I
The army can bear it." Thinking of this mission, Yan Liang suppressed his inner anger.
Seeing what Yan Liang said, Jia Rong smiled and said: "Okay, let Han Sui send two thousand fine war horses and one hundred thousand stones of food and grass. I will agree not to attack you rebels for the time being. By the way, weapons and armor."
Arrows and other things also come with gifts.”
Yan Liang felt that his raging anger was already burning. He looked at the guards on the left and right, and Yan Liang snorted coldly and said: "Yan Liang cannot agree to the general's conditions. The situation of our army is not optimistic at the moment. Please give the general a try again."
Seeing Yan Liang's actions before and after, Jia Rong guessed that Yan Liang had just thought of killing him. What he said just now was just to deliberately anger Han Sui's envoy.
"Haha, it all depends on Han Sui's sincerity!" Jia Rong laughed.
Yan Liang felt that he was always uncomfortable when talking to Jia Rong. Either Han Sui was a child or Han Sui was a common man, or he was a rebel. However, he still couldn't reason with people like Jia Rong. For example, Jia Rong begged for help.
It's impossible to ask for two thousand good war horses and one hundred thousand stones of food and grass. To put it bluntly, there is no sincerity in cooperation. If he hadn't been concerned about the guards around him, he might not have resisted taking action just now. Regarding his own skills, Yan Liang still
Very confident.
"I will definitely tell General Han about this when I go back. I wonder what happened to General Yan Xingyan when the general conquered Jincheng County?" Speaking of this, Yan Liang's tone turned out to be a little excited.
Jia Rong said calmly: "Dead, the best way to deal with traitors is to kill them!"
Yan Liang couldn't bear it anymore and yelled: "Jia Rong, please give my brother his life!"
Jia Rong showed a look of surprise and said with a smile: "You are not a dedicated messenger. After you scolded me like this, I have no choice but to attack you rebels.[ . ]"
Yan Liang suddenly realized the mission he came here. He calmed down and said, "Please forgive me for what I have offended just now. General Han wants to make peace with the general. As long as the conditions are not excessive, General Han will agree."
, General, please think twice.”
After Yan Liang finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving Jia Rongfa a chance to continue extorting money.
Han Sui's request for peace was unexpected by Jia Rong. After attacking Hanyang, Han Sui's army was already exhausted. However, Jia Rong did not want to fight with Han Sui and benefit the Han emperor. The key to whether he could develop his own power was Han Sui's army.
As for Sui, as long as Han Sui exists for one day, it will be an excuse for Jia Rong to stay in Jincheng. Secretly developing strength is the way to go. Now that Han Sui has come to the door, Jia Rong will not kill him politely, but Yan Xing is Yan Liang.
Jia Rong is very interested in this news.
The next day, Jia Rong did not embarrass Yan Liang again, but took Yan Liang to the prison in the city to see Yan Xing. Although he had been busy in the past three months, he had been paying attention to Yan Xing, saying that it was a prison, and Yan Xing
Xing Xing has good food and accommodation here. When he is bored, soldiers will take him for a walk around the city. He is a criminal with extreme freedom. Jia Rong believes that Yan Xing has changed a lot.
To conquer him now is just a matter of words. In the past three months, Jia Rong has taught Yan Xing lessons with practical actions.
Yan Liang held on to the iron bars of the prison and said excitedly: "Second brother, are you okay in Jincheng?"
Looking at Yan Liang with red eyes, Jia Rong did not say any more words to attack him.
Yan Xing held Yan Liang's hand through the prison bars and said, "Brother, I have made you suffer. Yan Xing is unfilial."
"The cell door is open, go in." Jia Rong said casually, holding on to the prison railing.
Yan Liang glanced at Jia Rong gratefully and hurried in.
The two brothers were talking to each other cordially inside. Yan Liang saw that Jia Rong was the only one at the door of the prison, and the soldiers guarding the prison were also left outside. Thinking of this, Yan Liang said in his ear: "Second brother
, in my opinion, how about the two of us subdue Jia Rong, then escape Jincheng County and return to General Han's men?"
Yan Liang was surprised to find that Yan Xing, who had always followed his advice, actually shook his head and couldn't help but whisper: "Second brother, what's going on? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don't you want to go back, second brother?"
Yan Xing smiled bitterly and said: "Even two more people will not help. You have never seen Jia Rong's skills. Even if you and I join forces, we will not be his opponent."
Yan Liang looked at Yan Xing in surprise, wondering why this second brother who always refused to accept anyone in martial arts said this, "Is the second brother afraid?"
"Brother, I have never seen Jia Rong's skills. Otherwise, do you think he would stand in front of the cell door with such support? As long as Jia Rong makes a sound, soldiers will come in immediately. You have never seen his guards. After seeing him,
Big brother will never have such thoughts again."
Yan Liang looked at Yan Xing for a long time, then sighed and said, "My second brother has changed!"
Yan Xingchang sighed: "It's not that Yan Xing has changed, but that I have figured out a lot of things in the past three months. Jia Rong is right. We can bear the reputation of traitors, how can we expect future generations to bear the same reputation?"
Do you want to have such a reputation? Are you going to make it difficult for the younger generation to hold their heads high in front of others?"
"I have seen Jia Rong's recent actions in Jincheng County. Now the people in Jincheng have a very high voice for Jia Rong, and he is really doing good for the people. I believe the big brother has also seen the changes in the city. What do you think?
Does Han Sui have the courage?"
Yan Liang was silent. The changes in Jincheng County were really surprising. It was hard to imagine that such a large-scale project was done by Jia Rong. Yan Liang was surprised by the pristine houses. Jincheng County had undergone earth-shaking changes in Jia Rong's hands.
Changes, and this change only occurred in three months. Han Sui's army had also heard some rumors about Jincheng before. Yan Liang thought it was Jia Rong playing some trick to appease the people, but he didn't expect it to be true.
.
Yan Xing said: "I once challenged Jia Rong, but the skills I was always proud of turned out to be nothing in Jia Rong's hands."
"Furthermore, I was almost defeated in the fight with the guards who followed Jia Rong. The Xiliang army led by Jia Rong was probably more powerful than my elder brother could have imagined. Now that Jia Rong has the support of the Qiang tribe, his strength is even greater.
It has increased a lot, and my elder brother also heard about the Qiang tribe’s defection to Jia Rong.”
Yan Xing's words left Yan Liang speechless, and he sighed: "What is the second brother's plan? General Han sent me here to redeem the second brother."
Yan Xing's expression changed for a long time, and he said firmly: "Brother, I want to stay in Jincheng County!"
Yan Liang opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect Han Sui's capable general to say such words. As the first general under Han Sui, Yan Xing, once he chooses to stay in Jincheng, will be an immeasurable loss to Han Sui's army. After
After several months of fighting, the morale of the coalition forces was already at a low point. People were worried about how big the impact would be if another general rebelled against him. Yan Liang really didn't understand why Yan Xing was in Jincheng.
After three months of stay, such a change will occur. Is this still the red-robed general in Han Sui's army?
"Second brother, can you tell me why this is happening?"
Yan Xing told Yan Liang everything he had seen and heard in Jincheng in the past three months. The most important thing was how Jia Rong treated the people and his soldiers. What Yan Xing said was much more detailed than those circulated in Hanyang County.
Yan Liang sighed: "Since the second brother has made the decision, I don't want to force myself anymore."
Yan Xing in turn advised: "Brother, if you and I join forces to assist Jia Rong, with my ability, I will definitely be reused."
Yan Liang shook his head and left the cell, looking at the figure at the door with confusion.
"I hope the general can treat my brother well!" Yan Liang walked to Jia Rong and said slowly.
Jia Rong looked at Yan Liang in confusion, and was immediately surprised. What Yan Xing said meant that the man in prison had decided to stay in Jincheng to help him. If Yan Xing could become the number one general under Han Sui, his ability would definitely be incredible, otherwise
Nor would he be left behind in Yunwu to help Han Sui take care of his house. For such a general who was responsible for his duties, Jia Rong spent so much effort, wasn't it just to keep Yan Xing in Jincheng?
The reason why I accepted Yan Xing's challenge was to establish a brave image in the army. For a general, strong martial arts are essential, especially for a commander like Jia Rong. In order to establish an image, Jia Rong can
Without much effort, Jia Rong beat the thorns among the Qiang soldiers into submission one by one.
"Don't worry, as long as it is gold, it will make him shine in the hands of this general." Jia Rong said confidently.
Yan Liang stared blankly at Jia Rong for a while, shook his head and left, forgetting even about discussing with Jia Rong what Han Sui had told him.
After a conversation between Jia Rong and Yan Liang, the initial conditions reached were: "Han Sui will compensate two thousand guan, fifty war horses, and five hundred dan of grain and grass! Moreover, any businessman passing through Hanyang County will not be in trouble, otherwise the settlement will be canceled immediately."
Yan Liang thought for a long time and nodded. Jia Rong didn't want much, and the conditions were very reasonable. Yan Liang was very happy to have completed the task assigned by Han Sui. What Han Suijun wanted was a chance to breathe. Jia Rong had Qiang people.
In addition to the support of the tribe, Han Sui also had the support of the Xianling Qiang.
In fact, what Jia Rong wants is not the money, but the great righteousness. If the rebels are defeated, they will be compensated. The Xiliang army is the victor of justice. I wonder if Yan Liang will be happy if he knows Jia Rong's thoughts.
.
After Han Sui's matter came to an end, Jia Rong immediately posted a recruitment notice in the city. Now that he has reached the prestige and reputation in Jincheng County, and he is also a nominal disciple of Cai Yong, he should be able to recruit more talents.
