Contract Prince

The army dispatched by the imperial court is about to go to the frontier fortress. On the eve of the expedition, Gu Yunjing hosted a banquet in the Hou's mansion, specially for Tao Ce, Han Jun and others.

Several people sat around the table.Tao Ce is a frequent visitor to the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, so even though the princess consort is sitting across from him, there is not much respect on his face, just like meeting an old friend, there is nothing unnatural about it.

But Han Jun is different.His status is not as noble as Tao Ce's, and he has no deep friendship with the son-in-law. The most embarrassing thing is that he once had a deep relationship with Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Once these three factors merged together, Han Jun couldn't keep calm in his heart.Looking at the cold and noble princess sitting across from him, he always had many indescribable feelings in his heart.

Han Jun hoped that Xiao Muxue would pay more attention to him, even if he only glanced at him, but his hope was still in vain, the princess' eyes lingered on the son-in-law forever from the beginning to the end.On his handsome face, there are bits and pieces of loneliness.After looking at Xiao Muxue for a long time, he finally lowered his head.

Han Jun's look and expression had already been seen by Gu Yunjing, who had sharp eyes, and she smiled without saying a word.Asked the servants to bring several altars of daughter red that had been preserved for decades, lifted the lid, and the aroma of the wine overflowed.

She filled the cups with wine and handed them to several people respectively. A look of impassioned expression surged under her elegant and fair face. She picked up a glass of wine and stood up abruptly, "There is an elegy in ancient times. Today I will pour wine for you." You practice it! I hope your trip will go well, drive out the barbarians, and revive the kingly power of my country of Xiao!"

"Well said!" Tao Ce also got up, he didn't pick up the wine glass, but directly held up a wine jar, with a high expression, "It's so boring to drink from a glass, if you want to drink, just drink it up!"

Han Jun didn't want to disturb Tao Ce's interest, so he thought about it secretly and persuaded him: "Brother Tao, we're going to war tomorrow, drinking too much might cause trouble, so we'd better drink less."

Tao Ce frowned. It was obvious that Han Jun's dissuasion had no effect at all, "You have to enjoy yourself to the fullest, don't let the gold bottle stand empty to the moon, tomorrow is just an expedition, and it's not a formal war with Xiliang people, so don't make such a fuss I'm nervous. Besides, I can drink well, let alone one jar, even if I drink ten jars, I won't get drunk."

Gu Yunjing forcibly took the wine jar from his hand, and said seriously: "Han Jun is right. The task of escorting food and grass is arduous and grand, and it must not be perfunctory or taken lightly."

"Don't worry, I will definitely complete the task!" Han Jun chuckled, "I just have a few sips, and I can't miss anything."

He stretched out his hand to take the wine jar again, but Gu Yunjing quietly slapped him back, and put a wine glass into Tao Ce's hand.

Tao Ce had no choice but to pick up the small wine glass and drink it silently.

Gu Yunjing solemnly said: "When you come back triumphantly, I will prepare a hundred altars of 30-year-old Daughter Hong for you. Let's drink together, and you won't return if you don't get drunk!"

Tao Ce's sad mood finally got a little comfort. Looking at Gu Yunjing's thin body, he asked in disbelief: "Really, are you sure you want to drink with me?"In all these years, the two of us seem to have never had a drink together! "

"Of course it's true, there's no joke!" Gu Yunjing nodded with a smile, and drank a glass of wine in one gulp.The wine was very strong, choking on her sore throat.

After Tao Ce had a glass of wine, he wiped his mouth with his cuff and leaned back on the chair, "Yun Jing, I'm going to the frontier tomorrow, and tonight I want to hear you read a few impassioned words. Add to the fun before I leave. You read those words very interestingly, and it can make people's blood boil."

"Okay!" Gu Yunjing put down the empty wine glass, and after a little thought, he muttered, "The general's reputation has been ruined in all battles, and he turned his head to Heliang for thousands of miles. The old man will never die! .Here is a strong man, the sad song is not yet clear, and the bird still knows how much he hates, but if he doesn't cry, he will cry blood!"

How many men are inspired by an impassioned word!Perhaps influenced by these words, Tao Ce's body gradually sat upright, his face tensed, and he said solemnly, "The general has lost his reputation in all battles, that's really good!"

Gu Yunjing glanced at Han Jun, and suggested: "Han Jun, you have read a lot of poetry and books, why don't you come to one too! Liven up the atmosphere!"

There was a passion in Han Jun's bones. Infected by Gu Yunjing's words, this passion and pride almost gushed out. He didn't hesitate at the moment, and said loudly: "Why don't you take the Wu hook and charge Guanshan fifty states, please sir Temporarily go to the Yanlou Pavilion, what if a scholar has thousands of households?"

In front of two such educated people, Tao Ce felt that he did not show his level, and seemed to be a bit offended.He also generously sang: "Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of road clouds and moons! Don't wait for nothing, the white boy's head is empty and sad!"

After listening to this, Gu Yunjing teased: "Hey, you seem to have made great progress in culture recently?"

Tao Ce rolled his eyes and said in disbelief, "Could it be that in your eyes, I have always been so ignorant? After all, I am also a son of a family."

"Not bad." Gu Yunjing smiled slightly, "It's always good to read more books, a general must be brave and resourceful."

Gu Yunjing took two chopsticks, alternately left and right, and beat rhythmically on the table, making a series of chime-like sounds. While beating, he said with ambition: "My husband wants to fulfill his ambition, and Hold the sword and conquer all directions!"

Gu Yunjing's spirit is not inferior to any man, Xiao Muxue stared at her son-in-law, and suddenly felt that the son-in-law is so heroic, like a real good man who stands up to heaven and earth.

Xiao Muxue and Gu Yunjing sang and shouted: "Mo Dao has a long journey, and I hope to follow the example of the river and not pay back!"

The hall of the Hou Mansion was spacious enough, Tao Ce drew out his saber, and danced the sword with Gu Yunjing and Xiao Muxue singing in harmony.

The sword is like snow, like the light and cold of the nineteen states, carrying their pride and wishes.

The night was cool, and the impassioned voice penetrated through the red walled courtyard of the Hou Mansion and penetrated outside.

Gu Yunjing and the others are making peace by singing, but they don't know that Zhao Wang's mansion is a different scene at the moment.

Xiao Zhan revealed the marching route and the route for transporting grain and grass to Luo Dong. After Luo Dong knew the news, he rushed to Zhao Wang's mansion without stopping.He truthfully reported all the news he knew to Xiao Cong and Qin She, and respectfully handed over the road map for transporting grain and grass by the way.

Qin She picked up the blueprint and pondered it over and over again. He said with a heavy brow, "The [-] troops will go first, and the remaining [-] soldiers will escort the food and grass. The transportation lanes will be divided into three. One hundred thousand stones of grain and grass. This arrangement is too rash. Don’t they worry about the problem of someone coming to rob the grain and grass?”

Luo Dong respectfully said: "General Qin, King An did arrange it like this. As for why he arranged it like this, I think it must have something to do with the lack of troops in the imperial court. There are more than 3 soldiers recruited this time. We can’t send more soldiers to escort the food and grass.”

Xiao Cong also echoed, "Yes, Uncle. Don't worry too much, Xiao Zhan has no soldiers to send now, what else can he do if he doesn't do this?"

Thinking of what Yu Wenyan said before, the excitement on his face seemed to overflow, "I have to give Yu Wenyan this road map as soon as possible."

As a soldier, Qin She still has a certain degree of acumen, and always feels that there is something wrong with Xiao Zhan's arrangement method.But after thinking about it for a while, his doubts dissipated a lot. Xiao Zhan is indeed facing a situation where he has no soldiers to send. All the troops from the imperial court have been allocated to Gu Wei before. These tens of thousands of soldiers still have to go around after a few months. Recruitment, patchwork.

After dispelling his doubts, he sent someone to punish Yu Wenyan.Hearing the words, the king of Southern Chu got on his horse and galloped to King Zhao's mansion.Under the leadership of Prince Zhao's servants, he rushed to the inner hall quickly, and asked first after entering the door: "Where is the road map?"

Qin She raised the blueprint, and when Yu Wenyan was about to take it away, he quickly grabbed the blueprint in his hand and said indifferently, "Before taking the blueprint, should we have a good discussion about cooperation?"

Yu Wenyan smiled: "Didn't we discuss it before? Does General Qin have any doubts about his monarch?"

Xiao Cong interrupted him: "You discussed it with me before, but you didn't discuss it with my uncle."

Yu Wenyan's complexion suddenly turned a little ugly. In his eyes, Xiao Cong was a waste, and he could be hooked with just a little favor.

But Qin She is different. Qin She is an old fox who has experienced many battles and knows all kinds of things like the back of his hand.This time negotiating with Qin She, he will definitely have to spend more money.If he had known this earlier, he should have signed the contract with Xiao Cong as soon as possible.

Qin She glanced at Yu Wenyan, and asked: "The King of Nanchu seems to be hesitant, how do you look at it, don't you want to talk to this general?

A few smiles appeared on Yu Wenyan's cold face: "Where is it, of course we have to talk. It's just that I am short on time, so we can't talk in detail. General Qin will get straight to the point and tell you what you want.

"The King of Southern Chu is indeed a straightforward person." Qin She smiled triumphantly, "Since that's the case, I won't let it go. The road map for food and grass is very simple. Give me a hundred cavalry, and give me the five states in the southern border Jurisdiction, after you help Xiao Cong become the ruler of Datong, I will return the five border states to you."

The people of Southern Chu conquered the world on horseback, and what they are most proud of is the majestic iron cavalry.The soldiers in the Iron Cavalry Regiment are as strong as a hundred, and they are an important guarantee for the people of Southern Chu to win the world in the future.If they want to lose one person, Yu Wenyan will be heartbroken to death, let alone more than a hundred people.

As for the five states in the south, it is the throat.

Yu Wenyan couldn't help but want to slap his face.He scolded Qin She in his heart: "You bastard with a big mouth, one day I will kneel in front of me and repent! Qin She, just wait!"

Although his heart was full of anger and hatred, but on the surface he still had to work hard, Yu Wenyan said: "General Qin, what do you want the Southern Chu cavalry to do? My soldiers are very reckless, and if they are a little careless, they may conflict with the general."

Qin She waved his hand: "You don't need to worry about this. This general will ask you a sweet word, will you give it or not?"

Although the soldiers on one hundred cavalry are very precious, they are still not as precious as the road map.Yu Wenyan nodded: "Okay!"

Qin She is also a smart person. He knows Yu Wenyan's character, so he is specially prepared to keep his hand, because this guy will definitely backtrack. He shook his head and said, "I don't really trust you, you have to show me something that convinces me." .”

Yu Wenyan's heart tightened: "For example?"
