Chapter 62, Chapter 61

Due to Tang Yan's good foundation in the early stage, the iron hooves of the Wanshan army were overwhelming, and they soon occupied most of the country, and their forward momentum continued unabated.

Facing such a powerful enemy, the imperial court would definitely not be able to fight head-on, and could only think of some extreme measures.

For example, sending a master to assassinate someone.

The master sent by the imperial court initially targeted Liu Yan'an for the assassination.

But soon, the emperor figured out that his younger brother was just a puppet, and the real ruler of Wanshan Army was Tang Yan.

So for a long time, every now and then the emperor would send killers to assassinate Tang Yan.

It's just that Tang Yan is not a vegetarian, and there is no killer who can get close to him.

Realizing the strength of the opponent, the emperor changed his strategy and found a master at a high price.

He declared to the outside world that this master was a messenger, and with the sincerity of the court, he asked Marshal Tang of the Wanshan Army for peace.

And this master who is a messenger in name, is actually a killer.It is Wei Gengyi who is extremely famous in the green forest and is good at wielding a fast sword.

Wei Gengyi was not interested in the disputes in the court, but the emperor was so kind to him, and he was extremely courteous to the corporal.

He casually praised that all the fish raised in the palace were pretty, and the next day all the fish in the palace were caught and sent to his stockade.

It was precisely because of this friendship that he felt embarrassed to refuse the other party.

Isn't it just to kill a marshal?

Although you may not be able to run away after killing them, there is still no problem in killing the opponent.

A scholar died for his confidant, and for the emperor's deep friendship, he was willing to risk his life.

Wei Gengyi led the team of envoys towards Liuzhou City.

Along the way, the cities are depressed and the countryside is deserted.

Wei Gengyi also met many refugees fleeing famine with numb expressions.

He cursed in a low voice.

"Dog officer!"

As a green forest person, although I usually do things like not giving money for food, I always feel that I am the most righteous in my heart.

Seeing the suffering of the people at the bottom, as a hero with a chivalrous heart, he wanted to scold those in power.

In the past, the emperor was scolded as a dog, but now after hearing the emperor complaining to him a lot, he knew that the emperor was not easy, and those who deserved to be scolded were the dog officials who did not do anything.

Along the way, Wei Gengyi scolded the dog officer several times.

The people following behind saw Wei Gengyi, who was now wearing an official uniform, scolding the dog officer, all of them looked strange.

The desolation on the road caused the envoys to speed up their pace.

But after entering the city under the jurisdiction of the Wanshan Army from the territory under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.Whether it was Wei Gengyi or the other members of the envoy's team, they couldn't help being shocked, and subconsciously slowed down their pace.

After the city gate was opened, the goal was a spacious avenue built with unknown materials, clean and tidy.

On both sides of the road, there are two or three-story inns and taverns, and there are also hawkers pushing the same style of carts to set up stalls, and the noise of selling is endless.

People wore unpatched coarse linen clothes and walked through the bustling streets, with smiles on their ordinary faces unconsciously.

Wei Gengyi thought about going to a city tomorrow. On both sides of the dirty road, there were ordinary people sitting on the side of the road begging in scanty clothes.

Why, in just half an hour, it was like entering another world.

The people of the two cities seemed to live in different worlds.

Before Wei Gengyi came to a new city, he had to scold the dog official, but now he suddenly couldn't say anything.

At this time, someone pointed to the road and exclaimed: "It turns out that this is cement, so smooth."

The cement produced by Tang Yan is sold abroad, so many people know about cement.But other people in power are unwilling to buy cement to increase the military resources of the enemy, so there are almost no roads paved with cement outside Wanshan's forces.

Wei Gengyi looked at the ground and did not speak. He led the envoy team and continued to move forward.

The prosperity and excitement along the way almost made Wei Gengyi think that this was the capital city in its most prosperous period before the war.

After leaving the city gate and reaching the outskirts, although there is no prosperity in the city, Wei Gengyi couldn't help muttering when he saw the endless green rice and the sunny smiles of the farmers with sweat on their faces.

"Didn't there be floods here last year?"

Why is it that this year is about to be a good harvest?

The person next to Wei Gengyi was a civil servant sent by the imperial court. After seeing the scene just now, he was full of desire to talk and couldn't help but explain to the other party.

"This is the city that the Tang bandits took from another bandit last year. After they got it, they began to build water conservancy projects, and the floods couldn't happen. I heard that just a random water diversion weir can cost a city three years' tax revenue. .”

After finishing speaking, the civil official couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I heard that the Tang thieves did not recruit civilian husbands to repair water conservancy, but directly recruited workers and paid them. I really don't know where they got so much money."

Wei Gengyi said nothing, he was really shocked.

It turns out that ordinary people living under the same blue sky can live as if they were in two different worlds.

On the next road, Wei Gengyi's smile disappeared, and his words became less and less.

After walking for more than two days, when Wei Gengyi's envoy team arrived in Liuzhou City, they asked to see Liu Yan'an and Marshal Tang immediately.

Tang Yan was in the room at this time, thinking hard about copying some war poems.

She had copied several war poems by Xin Qiji before, just to show off her literary talents and gain a good impression from scholars all over the world.

There is no shortage of generals in Wanshan, nor is there a shortage of high-quality literati.But the backbone of civil servants is not enough, so I have to treat it as a copy of the document.

As for being a copywriter guild, wouldn’t you be embarrassed?
This kind of boring question will not appear in troubled times, how low is the bottom line of people in troubled times!Tang Yan was with the top strategist with the lowest bottom line every day, and he was already close to Mo Zhehe.

"Grand Mo Xiao, drunk on the battlefield, what is the previous sentence of the ancient warriors?"

Tang Yan frowned and thought hard.

Although she has a good memory, she doesn't have a photographic memory.What you learned a few years ago, you can remember what you need to understand.But rote memorization like ancient poems is too difficult.

Just when Tang Yan was about to copy another poem, Bai Huankang knocked on the door and said outside the door.

"Marshal, the envoys sent by the imperial court are already waiting in the living room, saying that they want to dedicate two cities to you for peace."

Tang Yan couldn't wait to put down his brush and walked out of the room.

The imperial court said that it would give her two cities for peace. It was okay to deceive a three-year-old child. Only a ghost would believe it.

The other party is most likely here to assassinate him again.

But as the commander-in-chief of one side, knowing that the other party is coming to kill him, he still has to meet him.

When the other party really did something, he could justifiably take down the other party and use this as an excuse to settle accounts with the emperor.

As for whether there will be any danger, Tang Yan is still very confident.

Don't talk about your own skills.

In other words, Bai Huankang had already arranged layers of guards in the dark of the living room, so as not to give the other party the slightest chance of hurting her.
