Chapter 369 Seeing through the scheme
The people on the city lit torches and looked down, but they couldn't see clearly, but he couldn't be sure, so he could only report it.
A general who looked like a general asked some careful questions from the top of the tower and finally opened the gate.
This is a critical period. Who knows if an enemy will trick the city gate into opening.
Yang Gan was also invited in. After arriving at the big tent, a middle-aged general with a tired face came out and kept raising his hands to Yang Gan.
"General Yang, I have admired you for a long time. Thank you very much this time for helping our Liao country to collect more than a thousand remaining soldiers. Xiang would like to thank you here."
"Hey, they are all from the Central Plains, so they should. General Xiang doesn't need to be so polite." Yang Qian said politely.
After a few compliments, the two sat down. Xiang Zan took two sips of wine and let out a long breath.
"I have been fighting for so many years, and this is the first time that someone has led a large camp. Li Lu is indeed a famous general in the world."
Yang Qianqi said, "I have also heard of General Xiang's name. How could it be like this..."
Xiang Zan smiled bitterly and said, "General Yang didn't know something. Originally nothing would happen to the camp. Who would have thought that Gu Zang suddenly sent a group of people over to deliver a large amount of medicine to us."
"Although the battle was defeated, Shang Guo's losses were not small. I thought that he would not be attacked by a sneak attack, so I went to receive it myself. I never thought that the deputy general would be so unreliable. I have already killed him."
Yang Qian's hands shook for unknown reasons, and he pretended to be calm, but he didn't think it was inappropriate to kill the deputy general, and medicines were actually delivered, so he hurriedly asked, "Medicines? What's going on?"
Seeing that Yang Gan was wearing a mask all the time, Xiang Zan couldn't help but said displeasedly, "General Yang is always so rude when he talks? Why don't you show your true face when you are wearing a mask?"
"Haha, General Xiang didn't know something. I'm ugly. I usually don't take off my mask when leading troops. Please forgive me."
Yang Gan made a haha. He didn’t even take off his mask when he met Li Lu. The ancients didn’t have Du Niang or WeChat. Many people have only heard of themselves but never seen themselves. It’s better to hide them better to fish in troubled waters. .
"What's the deal with the medicine that General Xiang just mentioned?" Yang Qian was afraid that he might cause trouble, so he immediately changed the subject.
Xiang Zan looked at Yang Gan in front of him, thought about it and said, "Originally, this shouldn't be told to outsiders, but General Yang is helping our wounded, so I can explain it to you."
He looked deeply at Yang Gan and sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth, "In the temple, some people said that if Liao Guo keeps throwing wounded people to Xia Guo, it will shake the foundation of Liao Guo and almost quarrel with the king."
Yang Qian was slightly nervous, "What did King Liao say?"
"The king finally rejected it. After all, he signed the credentials. However, that person used his own connections to collect a bunch of medicine. No, I just happened to be there to receive it this time."
Xiang Zan glanced at Yang Qian and sneered.
"It seems that this person unintentionally broke General Yang's conspiracy."
Yang Gan smiled and said, "General Xiang, there is no conspiracy against Liao and Shang."
Xiang Zan waved his hand and said displeasedly, "General Yang, this is a big deal. After all, it's about the temple, and it's about robbing our country's population, right?"
Xiang Zan thought about what Han Jingtong said to him, and his eyes gradually narrowed. Yang Gan might really be like the kind of person he said harboring evil intentions.
Yang Qian let out a long breath, his voice slightly hoarse.
"General Xiang, you should know about my extermination of the Xiongnu tribe."
Xiang Zan showed a look of disdain and said calmly, "What? General Yang intends to show off his achievements? Although I may not be able to match him, but when it comes to the number of battles, I am not bragging. General Yang, you are still young."
Yang Gan wore a mask and raised his head at 45°. Under the illumination of candles, he looked particularly lonely.
"General Xiang, our Xia Kingdom adopts the system of counties and counties, and the population of a county is only about 200,000 to 300,000 people."
"After exterminating the three tribes, we harvested 600,000 to 700,000 Huns slaves, countless cattle, sheep, and horses. But do you know? The food and grass consumed in this day almost drained me dry. I was forced to rescue some wounded soldiers and go back. ."
"When the wounded soldiers asked me yesterday, I had already made a guarantee for them. As long as they work hard, I will release them after one year. Even those who perform poorly will be released one after another after three or five years."
Xiang Zan stood up suddenly and said in surprise, "Is this true?"
"Seriously~~!"
Xiang Zan stood up, cupped his hands in front of Yang Qian and said, "I admire General Yang's righteousness. There are still people in the temple criticizing the general. It seems really shameful."
Yang Gan replied, "I do have selfish motives, but Yuntong is about to collapse. I am really helpless. A county of 300,000 people has an influx of nearly one million people. During this time, I have lost a lot of hair."
At this time, a soldier ran in, cupped his hands and said, "General, there is someone outside the door calling someone from the Xia Kingdom, asking for entry into the city."
Xiang Zan glanced at Yang Gan, who asked, "Did he name him? How many people did he bring with him?"
"He said his name was Wu Gaolang, the general of the Xia Kingdom. It was dark, and I didn't know how many people there were, but I saw a lot of carriages."
Yang Gan smiled at Xiang Zan and said, "General Xiang, I will give you a gift this time."
"Oh? What gift is it?"
"Let Wu Gaolang enter the city and we will know."
Xiang Zan thought for a while and nodded to the soldier. Not long after, Wu Gaolang, who was eight feet tall, walked in from the door.
Yang Qian took the lead in carrying his luggage, and then he handed over to Xiang Zan.
Yang Gan asked, "How much?"
Wu Gaolang replied, "Three thousand sets are complete. The others... are fire attacks after all. The wallets were seriously damaged."
Xiang Zan asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"
Yang Gan smiled and said, "General Xiang should know that we collected the wounded. I guess Shang Guo hadn't realized it when we went this time. We packed up three thousand sets of complete leather armors and gave them to the general. Unfortunately, it was a fire attack after all, and there were a lot of skins." Everything was burned down."
Xiang Zan said happily, "Thank you so much. I don't even know how to thank General Yang for his great kindness."
Xiang Zan is actually now in Alexandria and has lost two battles. If he hadn't been a member of the powerful family, he would have been killed long ago.
"Hahaha, many people in the world like to add icing on the cake, but I don't."
"The icing on the cake is great, why don't you like it~~~!"
"The icing on the cake is just dispensable, but I like to provide help in times of need~~~!"
Xiang Zan closed his eyes, shook his head and sighed, "The general is righteous."
"Hahaha, win-win, win-win, I just want some people to help farm the land. I'll put it back anyway, just to survive this period."
Yang Qian said helplessly, "General Xiang, you know that as a general who goes outside, the temple will always have restraint measures, so as to support the troops and respect themselves. Look at me, I am a border guard general and a county guard. There are hundreds of people in the county." With a population of 10,000, you never know when...you know."
Yang Gan's words resonated with Xiang Zan. Even though he was a member of a powerful family, he still had to be patient, otherwise it would not be impossible for the king to kill him without giving up some small interests.
Xiang Zan's eyes rolled around behind his visor, and he found that the atmosphere was almost perfect, and said casually, "I don't know who the person who provided the medicine is. This person must be the pillar of Liao State and the pillar of the country."
"His name is Han Jingtong. He is a son of a poor family. He always does something eye-catching and makes the king unhappy. I don't like this person either. These civil servants stay in the capital day by day, but they don't know the bitter cold at the border."
Yang Gan agreed, "Yes, only we generals who guard the border know the hardships involved."
After the two chatted for a while, Yang Gan saw some impatience in Xiang Zan's eyes and left immediately. It was estimated that Xiang Zan still had things to deal with, especially the batch of complete leather armors.
When all the leather armors were taken out, they saw that there were still bronze swords wrapped inside, and some of the leather armors also had longgears, bronze shields, and heavy crossbows pressed under them.
Xiang Zan's eyes were slightly moist: "General Yang, you are a good man."
Yang Gan, who was riding on the back of a rhinoceros outside the city, had a gloomy and terrifying expression on his face. His strategy was not clever and could be said to be full of loopholes.
But this is a conspiracy, I am just recruiting people, so what, but it is also true to reduce logistical pressure, so everyone understands it tacitly.
Yang Gan takes the population, the two countries reduce the pressure on medicines, there are fewer wounded soldiers in the military camp, and the morale will not be too low. Otherwise, if many soldiers mourn together all night, it will be easy to blow up the camp.
Rather than seeing through it, it is better to say that the decision-makers of the two countries did not take this matter to heart. If the priority of the matter is rated from 1 to 10 stars, it is estimated that in the eyes of the decision-makers, this matter will kill Samsung.
But there happened to be such a person who saw through his own thoughts, and even put these things about himself at the level of nine or even ten stars. The most unpleasant thing is that he also took action.
"Gao Lang, how many wounded have been collected today? Are they serious?"
"There are more than 5,000 people, and these are mainly burns and scalds, which are quite troublesome to treat~~~!"
Yang Gan nodded and warned, "The food team will come over tomorrow and transport everything that can't die on the road back to me. Otherwise, I'm afraid there will be diseases in the camp, and it won't be able to accommodate so many wounded soldiers."
"promise!"
"By the way, let the grain team bring the news back tomorrow. I want to know every move of Han Jingtong of Liao State after he came out of Shexia Academy."
"Nuo~~!" Wu Gaolang responded in a deep voice.
Yang Gan looked up at the stars in the sky. In this life, he had many subordinates but very few friends. The scene when he first met Han Jingtong was still vivid in his mind. He really liked him. There were so many gaps in his heart.
Moreover, the structure is very large. King Liao only focuses on the immediate interests and does not see the big pit behind. Once his plan is successful, if nothing else, Monk Liao will at least shake the foundation of the country.
Unexpectedly, Han Jingtong saw it.
"You still have to plan carefully~~~!" Yang Gan sighed.
This kind of national-level planning is really too brain-consuming. No wonder ancient emperors didn't live long. Thinking like this every day would either lead to neurosis or depression.
After returning to the camp, there were constant wailing sounds and full of negative energy, but there was nothing we could do about it.
The next day, just after Yang Qian had finished exercising, a motorcade with no tail in sight drove towards the camp.
Chapter completed!
