Chapter 41 Ye Hao is restrained
Seeing that Xu Jinghong suddenly attacked him, Ye Tao couldn't help closing his eyes and whispering, but then he stopped shouting, because he found that Xu Jinghong did not mean to hurt himself, but just pulled down a piece of jade hanging on his chest. This is the precious jade handed down from the Ye Tao family. The whole body is smooth and it is a superior thing at first glance. It is said that it was also obtained by the ancestors of the Ye family at the founding of the country.
Xu Jinghong looked at the jade casually for a long time before putting him aside: "This is the certificate in my hand. I will give it to Ye Hao, and then he will believe your situation."
Of course, Ye Tao can't object to this, so he has to nod: "You're right. I've been wearing this jade since I was a child. As long as you take it to my eldest brother, he will know that I have fallen into your hands."
"But this piece of jade is obviously not enough, at least it can't make him feel the danger of your environment!" Xu Jinghong sneered again and pinched the sharp knife in his hand again.
"What do you want to do? Don't hurt me. As long as you don't hurt me, I will listen to you...ah!" Feeling that the tip of the knife had touched his body, Ye Tao couldn't help shouting again.
What's your name! It's just a little broken skin!" Xu Jinghong scolded, "What a man!" Hearing what he said, Ye Tao felt that it was indeed not so painful, and there were no missing parts on his body, but blood had flowed from his fingers.
Xu Jinghong shook the knife in his hand and cut off the rope tied to Ye Tao's hand, and then took the white cloth that had been put on one side to the other party: "Come on, use your handwriting."
It turned out that Xu Jinghong wanted to write a blood book by himself. Ye Tao calmed down a little, but he still asked, "How should I write it?"
"You can write whatever I say!" Xu Jinghong was also prepared and casually said, "Ye Tao is already in my hands. If you want to save his life, you should know what to do. If you dare to think again, just wait to collect his body!"
Although it was only a few words, the blood shed by Ye Tao's cut fingers was obviously not enough to supply enough "ink". It was impossible to say that Xu Jinghong had to "help" him recreate more "ink". After cutting five knives and cutting the three fingers of the right hand food, middle and nameless, this blood book was written. And Ye Tao was already sweating because of the pain, with ten fingers connected to his heart. Not only did he have to be cut, but he also had to write with his injured fingers, which was indeed enough for him.
In fact, Xu Jinghong did this just to make him pay a little debt, which is also to collect a little interest for Tian Dahu and others who don't know what they are suffering now. After taking this blood book and reading it without any mistakes, Xu Jinghong tied Ye Tao again, stuffed a rag in his mouth, and then came out.
Outside the account, many people were still waiting there. Seeing Xu Jinghong coming out, everyone gathered around: "How about the team?"
"He is afraid of death. I can say whatever I say." Xu Jinghong shook the jade pendant and blood book in his hand and said, "Which of you go there again and give these two things to Ye Hao, so that there will be no problem with the lives of the two brothers."
"I'll do it!" Xiong Geng took two things, nod his head to Xu Jinghong, and quickly left. Others looked at Xu Jinghong: "The team is doing, what should we do next?"
"Don't do anything, wait for a while. I have to go to those scattered barbarians with Wang Junqing and slowly settle accounts with Ye Hao when I come back. Xu Jinghong looked at the dark night sky and said.
"Isn't Boss Tian still suffering at Ye Hao's hands?" Everyone was very worried and unwilling.
"No, as long as these two things are seen by Ye Hao, he will not dare to attack the two brothers. Instead, he will treat them deliciously. Otherwise, isn't he afraid that his brother will be treated the same way?
"So it is." Only then did everyone understand Xu Jinghong's intention, but someone still asked, "But the team is in the right place. What should we do if they send troops to save people?" They really didn't know that the team was about to leave.
Xu Jinghong shook his head: "They can't send troops. I have agreed with Marshal Wang that they will not allow any mobilization of the Yunzhou army. However, you should also keep an eye on the door these days, and don't let them have a chance to take advantage of it.
"Yes!" The soldiers hurriedly answered, and Geng Zhong over there said confusedly, "Team Zheng, why didn't you change people with them immediately, but you have to wait for a while?"
"In order to put pressure on them, the longer we delay, the more anxious Ye Hao will be, so that we will have the upper hand. Moreover, I will leave Dingxi after dawn, and I don't have time to negotiate with Ye Hao and others, so I just let them go for a while!" Xu Jinghong said and looked at the sky: "Well, everyone has worked hard all night. Let's go back and rest. In the past few days, it's all up to you."
"Yes, we will not let the team down!" After more than 30 soldiers agreed, they dispersed.
"How can this be!" With an angry shout, Ye Hao punched the wooden table in front of him, and the tall wooden half of him was smashed to the ground. Ye Hao was holding the blood book and jade pendant sent by Xiong Geng in his hand. After being woken up from his sleep, he saw these two things that were obviously his younger brother Ye Tao. After letting people go to Ye Tao's tent and found that he was indeed not there, Ye Hao's anger rose uncontrollably!
Although there is no head or signature on this blood book, Ye Hao can easily guess who asked Ye Tao to write this book. Except for the damn Xu Jinghong, who dares to move the earth on Taisui's head? Thinking that his brother fell into his hands and didn't know what to suffer, Ye Hao's heart was even more anxious.
"Xu Jinghong, you are so bold that even my Ye Hao's brother dares to tie you up. Do I really dare not attack you? Come on, go and kill the two imprisoned people for me, and then send their head to Xu Jinghong!" Ye Hao, who was furious, only thought about how to deal with Xu Jinghong and immediately ordered.
The personal soldiers around him answered and were about to go, but they were stopped by Sun Zaiyuan, who had already been rushed to: "Captain, don't do this. Then the second master will be really hopeless."
"Hmm? Do you think they really dare to do something to my second brother? After being stunned, Ye Hao slowly calmed down. He had to admit that this was right. Since the other party dared to enter the barracks to rob people, he had the courage to kill Ye Tao. Then what should I do? Am I really threatened by them to exchange those two for the second brother? Ye Hao was very reluctant. As a former governor of Yunzhou, he has a strong self-esteem. Now he can't accept being threatened by these little people.
"This is something we can do under all kinds of helplessness, because in this way, the governor's reputation in the army can be..." Sun Zaiyuan said thoughtfully.
"Do you have any other way?" Ye Hao is now irritable and can't think of a countermeasure, so he simply asked this confidant.
"There is still a way, but I don't know if the governor dares to do it."
"As long as I can save my second brother, I dare to do anything!" Ye Hao said without hesitation. There are only two brothers in the Ye family in their department. Although Ye Hao has married a lot of wives and concubines, he can't give birth to a son. Now he has placed all his hopes on his brother. Moreover, although the two are called brothers, the relationship between father and son is even more difficult for him to save.
"Since the governor has this courage, it will be easy to do. You just need to bring all the people, surround the barracks on Xu Jinghong's side, and order them to hand over the second master. Under the threat of death, I think even if Xu Jinghong and others refuse to hand over people, those who are afraid of death will hand them over. Sun Zaiyuan said with another sneer, and his eyes flashed with murder: "And once they hand over the second master, you can take the opportunity to send troops and kill them all, so that the original hatred will be over."
"I'm afraid that sending troops around another military camp without authorization will cause the dissatisfaction of the general, right?" Ye Hao was a little worried and said that he had just been demoted, but he did not dare to do too much again. Otherwise, with his resentment against Xu Jinghong, he would have sent troops to attack them as early as when they entered the city.
"As long as we move quickly, it will be too late for Marshal Wang to stop it. And we can also find excuses, that these people are spies of barbarians, and we didn't act until we got the exact information. When everyone dies, will the general still take tens of thousands of us in Yunzhou for hundreds of people?
"Well, this is a way. Let's do it! I want everyone in the world to know that anyone who is against me, Ye Hao will end up being extremely miserable and there is no place to die!" Ye Hao said harshly. Then he ordered, "At dawn, order all the horses in our camp to gather together and immediately surround the camp on the other side of the granary!"
"Yes!" After receiving the order, the soldiers around him hurried to pass the order, and Ye Hao finally calmed down a little, waiting for the dawn to come when he twisted Xu Jinghong's head off with his own hands.
After more than half an hour, it will be dawn. Just when Ye Hao wanted to go out and attack, soldiers outside ran in: "Captain, General Wang sent someone to send the army order!"
"What did he send someone to do at this time? Should he use troops against the barbarians?" Although he was puzzled, Ye Hao still welcomed him out. After all, he is just a unification now, but he dares not be too big.
came from a partial general under Wang Chong's command and did not say much. He opened a military order and read it out: "I hereby order the soldiers and horses of the battalions in Yunzhou to train in the camp and not to leave the camp without authorization, thinking that they are ready to kill the enemy in the future. This life, Marshal Wang of the Three Armies of Southwest Road!" After saying that, he handed over the military order in his hand.
After taking the military order blankly, Ye Hao's face was full of doubts and didn't know what Wang Chong's order meant. However, the general did not mean to explain much to him. After the general's order was delivered, he left.
Sun Zaiyuan, who was beside him, had already tasted it. After the general left, he came over and said, "Dominat, our method won't work now. I didn't expect that Xu Jinghong was so well-sighted that he found Wang Chong as his backer.
"Hm?" After being stunned for a long time, Ye Hao finally woke up: "How can it be? This old man Wang Chong is obviously against me!"
"Yes, with this military order, we can no longer send troops to deal with Xu Jinghong."
"Well, do you want to block me with this thin paper? I sent troops, so what!" After Ye Hao said this, he changed his face and sighed: "Is there really nothing we can do about this?" He also knows the consequences of disobeying the military order. If he really insists on sending troops out, he is afraid that Wang Chong will have a good reason to attack him.
The relationship between Wang Chong and Ye Hao has long collapsed in the Yunzhou incident. Only because the Ye family in the capital mediated with him, Wang Chong did not dare to deal with him without sufficient reasons. But once Ye Hao really violated the military order and attacked Xu Jinghong and others, Wang Chongke would find enough reasons, and then Ye Hao would be completely finished.
Ye Hao was very well aware of Wang Chong's prestige in the Southwest Army. Even if he ordered, his 5,000 men may not dare to fight with Wang Chong's army. Moreover, under the contrast between the great power of the two sides, he is not sure that he can really withstand Wang Chong's soldiers and horses. For a Xu Jinghong, Ye Hao really doesn't want to put everything in.
Sun Zaiyuan sighed. He saw Ye Hao's wavering and knew that it was impossible for him to insist on sending troops. After a long time, he said, "Dovernor, now we have only one way, that is, to exchange the second master back."
"It seems that's the only way!" Even though Ye Hao had all kinds of reluctance, he had to stop for the time being in such a situation. Fortunately, he just lost some face and didn't lose anything. After sitting down, he said, "No, no matter what, let me meet Xu Jinghong on your behalf and let him draw down. Let's change the person."
"Yes, but there is another way, maybe I can breathe a breath for you."
"Oh, but what's the way?" Ye Hao asked quickly.
"Although we can't move everyone, the governor can still choose some masters who are good at using arrows. At the time of the exchange, let them ambush at the replacement place. Once the second master came out, he killed the two with arrows. Even in this way, Xu Jinghong can be finished together, which saves a lot of hands and feet.
"Dark arrows are hard to prevent, yes, that's it." Ye Hao nodded with satisfaction: "Then do what you want. Now you go to meet Xu Jinghong first, and then agree with him on the place and time of the exchange."
"Yes, I'll go now." After bowing his hand to Ye Hao, Sun Zaiyuan left in a hurry, but they were obviously disappointed this time, because Xu Jinghong was about to leave the barracks at this time.
At the time when Wang Chong's people conveyed the military order to Ye Hao, Wang Junqing had come to Xu Jinghong's camp again, and he came to pick up Xu Jinghong to chase the barbarians with him. Xu Jinghong had already discussed this with Xiong Geng and others. When he left, all the affairs in the team were discussed by Xiong Geng and Geng Zhong. Everything was to ensure everyone's safety as the first priority.
Before leaving, Xu Jinghong still didn't forget to tell him twice: "Old bear, now I have given all my brothers to you. Don't make trouble because of your anger, or I won't forgive you."
"Don't worry, my old bear will definitely not make trouble. I'm not a child. I know how to behave!"
"Yes, the team is watching him, and I will be fine!" Geng Zhong also said something, but it changed Xiong Geng's white eyes.
"I think soon, Ye Hao will send someone to discuss the replacement with you. Just remember a word. It's not us who are anxious now. The longer it takes, the more beneficial it will be for us, and the safer Laotian will be. When I come back, let's think of a replacement. Don't forget.
"Sung, we will definitely not give people to Ye Hao and theirs!"
After so many instructions, Xu Jinghong turned over and went on his way with Wang Junqing, who had been waiting for a long time. After taking two steps, Wang Junqing couldn't help laughing and said, "If I don't look at you, I really can't believe that you will be so nagging before you are not a weak year."
"There is no way to be inferior. Our opponents are really too strong. If we don't tell them carefully, I'm afraid they will really do something wrong, and then the brothers will be damaged."
"What are you going to do with Ye Hao when you come back?" Wang Junqing was a little curious.
"I can't think of it now. Let's save people first. However, Ye Hao and I have formed such a great hatred, so he has no me, and I have no him. If you can't say it, you have to use some extraordinary means!"
While talking and laughing, they have come to the gate, where 500 horses are waiting. They are all elites of the scout camp wearing armor and holding sharp weapons. Because the goal this time is to eradicate all the barbarians, and they will go to the mountains and forests that the barbarians are most familiar with to annihilate the enemy, so they must select the most elite people.
Seeing these fierce elites in the scout camp, Xu Jinghong's eyes were also bright: "What a elite soldier. With them, I think this battle to eliminate the barbarians will be very successful!"
Wang Junqing nodded and said, "Yes, they are the best soldiers under my command. Not to mention barbarians. Even if they fight against the Hu people in the north, I don't think they will lose. Because they are not only good at martial arts, but also excellent in riding, especially their bow skills, which is even more accurate. Speaking of this, he took a look at Xu Jinghong and found that he only brought a long knife, but he didn't even have a bow. He frowned, "Why, don't you bring a bow?"
Xu Jinghong's face couldn't help blushing: "I can't use a bow at all..."
