"In recognition of your heroic performance, Lord Pei has reported you to the court for promotion to captain! You've gone from being a sergeant in a detachment to a captain of a prefecture. Isn't that worthy of congratulations?"
In the earthen village, Huang Chang looked at Zhao Muyun with a smile, and his expression seemed to think that he had him firmly under control.
It seems that Lord Pei Lun, who is in charge of the military affairs of Hedong Road, is trying hard to win over Zhao Muyun.
"Oh? Have you reached some kind of agreement with the Tartars?" Zhao Muyun remained calm and spoke directly to the point.
Huang Chang's expression changed slightly.
He didn't expect that a small soldier like Zhao Muyun from the border army could have such a meticulous mind.
"Captain Zhao, let me tell you the truth!"
"Lord Fan's campaign was unsuccessful, and defeat by Wu Zhou was inevitable. Now Lord Pei has taken over military affairs. To prevent the suffering of the people of Shuozhou, he has negotiated with the Tartars and ordered them to withdraw."
"The Tartars, intimidated by the majesty of our Great Yin, have agreed to withdraw their troops."
"However, they asked for the return of their families. Lord Pei thought about it again and again and finally agreed to the Tartars' request."
Huang Chang explained his advice to Pei Lun and his request for Zhao Muyun to return the Tartar family.
At this moment, Zhao Muyun immediately understood Huang Changlai's purpose.
They reached an agreement with the Tartars, and the bargaining chip was the family of King Zhelan in Zhao Muyun's hands.
And their only demand was for the Tartars to withdraw!
"Apart from withdrawing the troops, you didn't put forward any other conditions to the Tartars?" Zhao Muyun was speechless.
"Under the current circumstances, being able to get the Tartars to retreat is already a very good result. If we press them too hard, it will be counterproductive."
Huang Chang chuckled and slowly responded, "Lord Pei has his own considerations on military and national affairs. Why should Sergeant Zhao be so hung up on this? You only need to obey Lord Pei's military orders."
After saying that, Huang Chang took out Pei Lun's military order.
Zhao Muyun took Pei Lun's military order, read it, and shook his head and sighed.
Zhao Muyun was speechless that Lord Pei Lun was so quick to reach an agreement with the Tartars for his own selfish reasons and to force them to withdraw their troops as soon as possible.
This Pei Lun is also a person who only wants to live in peace and contentment.
"Mr. Huang, we will certainly obey Lord Pei's military orders. However, our actions of contacting the Wuhuan to attack the Tartar royal court and capture their families were all carried out in accordance with the orders of Commander Fan."
"Now Lord Pei has issued a military order, telling me to release the Tartar's family members. How do I explain this to Lord Fan?"
Zhao Muyun remained calm and said lightly.
"Captain Zhao, what do you mean?" Huang Chang's face changed and he asked in a cold voice, "Fan Nan has been dismissed and investigated!"
"It's nothing, Mr. Huang, you're just too sensitive."
Zhao Muyun chuckled, "I'm only speaking in fairness. Although Lord Fan suffered a setback earlier, his order for us to infiltrate the Tartar rear has already yielded remarkable results."
"Master Pei can't ignore Master Fan's efforts for other reasons, right?"
Huang Chang was immediately displeased after hearing this and said, "Zhao Muyun, you're just a small squad leader. How could you know what's going on? Does Lord Pei need to discuss what he wants to do?"
"Mr. Huang, if Lord Pei didn't want to discuss it, why would he ask you to make this trip?" Zhao Muyun smiled.
Huang Chang's face was somewhat embarrassed when Zhao Muyun pointed out the core of the matter. He shouted angrily: "Zhao Muyun, what do you want in exchange for releasing the Tartar's family?"
"Mr. Huang, please report the achievements of the Tartars' retreat truthfully to Lord Pei."
Zhao Muyun said slowly, "The Tartars' retreat has a lot to do with Lord Fan's previous strategic planning."
"As long as Lord Pei acknowledges this, the Tartars' families can be returned to them at any time."
I'm not afraid of god-like opponents, but I'm afraid of pig-like teammates.
Zhao Muyun also planned to maximize the benefits of King Zhelan's family, but unexpectedly Pei Lun and others only asked the Tartars to withdraw their troops and ignored everything else.
Huyan Gu should be aware of the current situation immediately. If he is asked to exchange the prisoners back with the previous conditions, it will probably be difficult.
Fortunately, Zhao Muyun had already obtained a thousand war horses and two thousand taels of silver from him, so this wave was not a loss.
"Zhao Muyun, do you know that it was Master Pei who deliberately cultivated you?" Huang Chang said coldly, "Please understand your own position."
Huang Chang was full of confidence in this trip, thinking that as long as he used a prefectural commander to lure Zhao Muyun, he could make Zhao Muyun obey his orders.
But Zhao Muyun seemed not to care about this. Instead, with the Tartar's family in his hands, he insisted on getting involved with Fan Nan.
"Mr. Huang, I know very well!"
Zhao Muyun seemed confident. "Lord Fan has been very kind to me before. Without his order, would I have had the opportunity to contact the Wuhuan people and launch a surprise attack on the Tartar royal court?"
"One should never forget one's roots. If I continue to work under Master Pei in the future, I don't think Master Pei would want to have people who are ungrateful and ungrateful under his command!"
So that's how it is. Huang Chang was immediately relieved.
It turns out that Zhao Muyun is a man of affection and righteousness, and he must repay Fan Nan's kindness to him.
"Master Pei will also consider this matter."
Huang Chang patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, I will report this to Lord Pei, and he will definitely agree."
"As long as Lord Pei agrees to seek truth from facts and speak a fair word for Lord Fan, I will definitely follow Lord Pei's orders!"
Zhao Muyun agreed immediately and said loudly.
His voice was so loud that Fan Tong and others who were hiding nearby could hear it clearly.
Zhao Muyun had no idea what Huang Chang said to Pei Lun afterwards.
Zhao Muyun had no control over whether Pei Lun would objectively explain Fan Nan's contributions in memorials and battle reports.
