Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Guyan County.
The commander-in-chief’s tent.
"Young Commander, Xiahou Dun of Beiliang sent someone to deliver a letter."
The confidant Song Yuan held a letter and placed it on the desk.
Mu Zhao sat on the chair with his horse and sword, and glanced down at the envelope.
He raised his head, his eyes were bright and his brows were thin, and he opened his thin lips slightly: "Who is sent to deliver the letter?"
Song Yuan recalled the man's identity and reported truthfully: "Xiahou Dun's deputy general, Pei Yi."
"I have heard a little about this man. He once followed Xiahou Dun to fight on the battlefield and even blocked an arrow for him.
The King of Beiliang praised him for his bravery and promoted him to the third-rank general in less than three years.
But soon news spread in Beiliang that he only knew the surname Xiahou but not the King of Beiliang, so he was demoted to a deputy general and had to follow Xiahou Dun ever since. ”
...
...
Mu Zhao picked up the envelope, opened it and read the contents carefully.
His cheerful brows furrowed more and more tightly.
Song Yuan saw that he looked strange, and asked, "Young Marshal, is there something wrong with this letter?"
"I will go and get it right away..."
Before he finished speaking, Mu Zhao stood up suddenly and said, "Go and invite the person in."
Pei Yi walked into the big tent and glanced at the furnishings inside.
There were no yellow or white ornaments, only weapons everywhere.
Mu Zhao sat in the armchair and looked at Pei Yi indifferently.
"Do you have any news about my sister?"
When Song Yuan heard the word "sister", his pupils suddenly contracted.
He turned his head abruptly and stared at Pei Yi, wishing he could stare a hole through him.
Pei Yi said nothing, took out a green purse from his bosom and placed it on the desk.
Song Yuan was so shocked that his eyes widened several times: "This is not..."
Things were still uncertain, so he didn't dare say anything more, for fear that Mu Zhao would make a wrong judgment.
Pei Yi said: "General Mu should be very familiar with this thing."
Mu Zhao lowered his head and looked at the purse. The lotus leaves were green and embroidered with exquisite lotus flowers.
He recalled the purse his elder sister had given him, which looked exactly the same. The pain in his heart spread throughout his body.
Mu Zhao secretly clenched his fists under the desk, raised his eyes again, restrained his expression, and returned to his indifferent look.
"General Pei, I like to get straight to the point. Please tell me what you want to say."
Deputy General Pei handed over another letter. Mu Zhao opened it suspiciously and read it carefully.
Deputy General Pei said: "Beiliang and Chibei invited Dongzhou to attack Zhiyi City of Dajing Dynasty together."
The reason was clearly stated in the letter: Beiliang and Chibei both had their eyes on Dajing's food and water resources.
Mu Zhao said: "Why should I cooperate with you?"
Pei Yi said: "When Guyan County was massacred, it was actually because some people infiltrated the Dajing Army.
They plundered the Eastern Zhou Dynasty at will and abducted the women in the city. ”
"You're talking nonsense!" Song Yuan stood up and loudly objected.
"It was clearly Hu Riwei from Chibei who led his troops to attack the city, burning, killing, and looting, and even escorted all the people in the city out of the city."
"I admired General Xiahou as a hero.
Unexpectedly, in order to win over the alliance, they whitewashed the mistakes made by Chibei and confused right and wrong! ”
Pei Yi's face froze, but he had experienced a lot, so he could still maintain his original expression in such a scene.
He continued: “It is true that Hu Riwei led troops to attack the city, and it is also true that he took prisoners as slaves.
It is also true that the Dajing army forced the women of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and escorted them into the city.
There is no need for me to whitewash Hu Riwei and tarnish the Marshal's reputation.
If you don't believe it, you can send someone to Dajingzhiyi City to find out whether there is a woman from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty in the city. ”
Pei Yi's powerful words made Song Yuan hesitate.
Pei Yi realized that the time was right and continued to add fuel to the fire.
"General Yang Jin of Dajing led his troops to commit a shameful act. In order to save face, the crown prince of Dajing did not hesitate to send troops to kill Hu Riwei."
"Hu Riwei is dead?" Song Yuan exclaimed.
Upon hearing the news of Hu Riwei's death, not only Song Yuan was surprised, but even Mu Zhao's eyebrows jumped.
He had not yet avenged the people of Guyan County when he unexpectedly found Hu Riwei dead.
Song Yuan: "It's too cheap for him!"
"People like this should be torn into pieces!"
Pei Yi continued: "It has not rained in the north for too long, and there are wastelands everywhere.
General Mu was well aware of the situation of Beiliang and Chibei.
But how long can the Eastern Zhou Dynasty last? ”
Hearing this, Mu Zhao raised his eyebrows slightly.
These words hit the nail on the head.
The north has been suffering from drought for a long time, but the southern part of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty can still supply food and fodder to Guyan County.
He led his troops to garrison in Guyan County, and his life was not so miserable that they had to starve.
Unfortunately, the journey to transport food from the south is too long, and there is not much food left in Guyan County.
Over time, Your Majesty will definitely reduce the military pay of Guyan County.
Mu Zhao was not stupid either, he knew that Pei Yi's words were half true and half false.
As to which ones are true and which ones are false, it is still unknown.
He said: "In this case, you go back and report.
Ask Chibei to return all the captives from Dong Zhou. Seeing the sincerity of the alliance, I agreed to this cooperation. ”
Before going to Guyan County, Pei Yi had anticipated that Mu Zhao would make a request.
He expected Mu Zhao to negotiate terms and share more of the spoils.
I didn't expect that the prisoners would be returned.
It’s just that Pei Yi has no say in Chibei’s affairs.
He really didn’t dare to agree, so he could only speak vaguely: “Beiliang never interferes in Chibei’s military affairs.
This matter can still be discussed further. I will go back and explain it to you so that we can reach a result that satisfies both parties. ”
Mu Zhao leaned back and leaned on the armchair behind him.
He said nonchalantly, "Let them negotiate the terms. There is no rush to discuss the alliance."
Pei Yi was speechless, but he couldn't find a better way.
Song Yuan sent his men out of the barracks and sent someone to keep an eye on Pei Yi before he left the city.
After arranging things, Song Yuan left and returned.
As soon as he walked into the commander's tent, he saw Mu Zhao staring at his purse in a daze.
"Young Marshal, is this purse really the young lady's?"
Mu Zhao's voice suddenly became hoarse.
He shook his head: "I don't know."
The purse pattern that his sister embroidered for him was exactly the same as the one on the desk.
This is because this pattern was the most popular design in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
Women in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty were very skillful and their embroidery works were extremely beautiful. If one wanted to identify a person through their embroidery, one had to be an extremely skilled embroiderer to have this ability.
What's more, the purse that his elder sister gave him had been worn out so long ago that the pattern could not be seen at all.
Mu Zhao said, "I will write a letter and you can deliver it to Crown Prince Da Jing for me."
"If it is true, it is not unfair to beat him."
…
As soon as Jiang Zhenyu got home, he received a call from the drug supplier.
