Chapter 688: Doing things for Qi
Yuan Pu still had anger when he returned home. As a general under Jiang Haokun, even Jiang Haokun himself had never scolded and ridiculed him in this way. Today, he was insulted by an ignorant playboy. In the end, he slapped the official surnamed Jiang in the warehouse, both of which were venting his anger and giving Jiang Yuan a little color in disguise. He was not able to control himself at will.
"My husband, this food was originally taken to the black market by him and Jiang Yuan to make black money. If you do this today, you may make him hold a grudge." Mrs. Yuan listened to Yuan Pu's narration and said worriedly: "That person is a vengeful guy."
"I'm still afraid that he won't be able to do it?" Yuan Pu sneered: "If Jiang Lai is still here, I still need to be afraid. But once Jiangnan dies, who can support the army for the county magistrate? Is it up to Jiangyuan? The county magistrate himself knows it."
"That's right, but after all, he is not close to him. No matter how angry Jiang Yuan is, he is the son of the county magistrate. You have been saying from time to time a while ago that the county magistrate draws elite troops to Jiang Yuan, is it completely unreasonable? But what's the result?" Mrs. Yuan sighed.
Yuan Pu was silent for a while, "Madam, I must find a way to send you and the children away. If Fuyuan continues like this, I am afraid that something will happen. Jiang Yuan is in the eyes of money and even dares to get rid of the army's food and sell it for money. This is true for me. Other troops, I am afraid that the situation will be worse and one day, there will be problems."
"Where can I go? Now the Ming people outside blocked the four counties in the north and the other three counties were occupied by the barbarians. Could it be that I still have to go to the barbarians?" Mrs. Yuan smiled bitterly, "I just want the whole family to be together."
"Tzu Chi, I understand the two battles between Xinhua. We can't defeat the Ming people at all, and we can't do it either, and we can't end up being wiped out." Yuan Pu sighed: "I can't do it, I can only go all the way to the black, but you and your children cannot be tied to me. I'll find a way. Don't say too much, not for you, just for your children, you have to leave."
After hearing what Yuan Pu said, Mrs. Yuan just shed tears secretly. Yuan Pu could only sigh and say nothing. If the skin is gone, where will the hair be attached?
"Master, Mr. Qin is visiting!" A family member walked to the door and was startled to see the situation in the house. He quickly lowered his head.
"Qin Li? What are he doing?" Yuan Pu was stunned. Qin Li was from Qi. It can be said that Jiang Haokun decided to start a new stove and oppose the Ming Dynasty. Qin Li played a huge role in it. Yuan Pu instinctively disgusted with Qin Li. If Qin Li had not caused trouble in the middle, or the four counties in the north, there would not have been the dilemma today.
"Master, I'll avoid it first!" Mrs. Yuan stood up and walked towards the back hall.
Looking at the wife's back, Yuan Pu's eyes suddenly lit up. The four counties in the north are not safe places. With his own identity, it is impossible to go to Ming Kingdom. But isn't Qi the destination that the wife can go to? Qin Li can use it.
"Please come in!" Yuan Pu nodded.
Qin Li walked in with a spring breeze on his face. Seeing those smiling faces, Yuan Pu was so angry that he could not punch that face, but this thought could only be thought about in his heart. On the surface, he still greeted Qin Li with a smile and ordered the servant to serve tea.
"General Yuan, I heard that you beat one of Jiang Yuan's subordinates hard today?"
The pot was not opened and picked up the pot, Yuan Pu's face suddenly sank: "Mr. Qin's news is a little too well-informed, right?"
"That's natural. General Yuan also knew what Qin did. If he couldn't find out such news, it would be a bit incompetent, right?" Qin Li said with a smile.
Yuan Pu was frightened. This happened in his military camp. When he beat someone, he was locked in the warehouse and didn't know much. But just now, Qin Li received the news, which shows that he was also in his army.
"What does Mr. Qin mean?" he asked coldly.
Qin Li took a sip of tea leisurely: "General Yuan, what do you think of the current situation? Can the governor of Jiang have a chance to win?"
Yuan Pu said, "Mr. Qin, are you competing for me?"
"It's not a question of the exam!" Qin Li shook his head, "But Qin thought that General Yuan didn't think about his future when he was private?"
"Mr. Yuan was deeply grateful to the governor of Jiang County. He had no other thoughts except to repay him for his death." Yuan Pu said coldly.
Qin Li smiled and said, "What about Jiang Yuan? Is General Yuan also ready to repay Jiang Yuan with his death?"
Yuan Pu's face suddenly turned black.
"General Yuan, you are a sensible person. Jiang Haokun can't hold on for long!" Qin Li stared at Yuan Pu and said lightly.
"Qin Li, what do you want to say?" Yuan Pu looked at Qin Li, "If County Governor Jiang can't hold on, wouldn't it be too much that your mission has been completely failed?"
"Failed? No, no, no." Qin Li's head shook like a rattle, "Jiang Haokun will definitely fail, but I may not. General Yuan, the four counties in the north, now there are two voices, but our Qi State only hopes that one voice can be heard here. In this way, we can gather the power of the four counties in the north, and make a political career, and we can have a real battle with the Ming State. For example, now, between the four counties in the north, we are both on guard against each other and restraining each other, and we cannot play our true role."
Yuan Puhuo stood up, "What do the barbarians want to do?"
Qin Li looked at Yuan Pu: "General Yuan, you are wrong. It's not what the barbarians want to do, but what our Qi Kingdom wants to do!"
"What do you Qi people want?" Yuan Pu couldn't help but ask.
"General Yuan, I won't hide it from you. Our Qi State hopes that the four counties in the north can play a greater role and can restrain more of the Ming State. Even if we fight with the Ming State, it is most in line with our interests. But we are very dissatisfied with the current state. The Emperor of the Great Qi State now feels that Jiang Haokun cannot help him up at all, so he will naturally be replaced."
"Murrong Hong?"
"Yes." Qin Li said frankly: "We have chosen Murong Hong, then Jiang Haokun must disappear."
"Qin Li, aren't you afraid that I will tie you up with a rope to the governor of Jiang?" Yuan Pu sneered, "At that time, your task will be to get nothing."
"Is it meaningful?" Qin Li laughed: "Even if you hand me over to Jiang Haokun, can this final outcome be changed? The barbarians are ready to attack. Fuyuan is the center of the four counties, but they are also wrapped in the middle by Ning Yuan, Pingyuan and Zhenyuan. Three armies are advancing together. With Jiang Haokun's current situation, do you think he can stop it?"
Yuan Pu was speechless.
"General Yuan, let me tell you another message. Next, your external food sources will be cut off. The people from Zhengyang will no longer provide you with food. Wherever they come from will enter the controlled area of the barbarians. The food in Fuyuan is already very tight now, right? Otherwise, Jiangyuan would not take the military food to the black market and sell it at a high price. Next, your food will be even more tight until you can't fill your stomach." Qin Liyun said calmly.
Yuan Pu sat down depressedly. This was the biggest problem of the four counties in the north. The four counties in the north were not originally grain production areas, and the annual consumption was caused from other places. The blockade of the Ming people has made the four counties in the north extremely difficult. Hundreds of thousands of barbarians flocked to the four counties, which made it even worse. Once there was a problem with the grain supply, the four counties in the north would undoubtedly be in chaos.
"Even if the barbarians control the four counties in the north, how could they be the opponent of Mingren?" He said discouragedly: "Tzu Chi, in the battle of Xinhua, I have already seen the combat power of Mingren. Qin Li, even if I have a lotus, I know that the barbarians will eventually be defeated by Mingren."
"What does it matter if the barbarians win or lose?" Qin Li laughed: "It's enough that they can hold on for a longer time. Or what if they can make a fortune, and supporting them is much greater than supporting Jiang Haokun. Back then, we made a bridge for Jiang Haokun and led the barbarians out of the mountain. We were originally prepared for today. It's ridiculous that Jiang Haokun really thought he was the destiny and the barbarians would use it for him."
"You want me to surrender to the barbarians?" Yuan Pu shook his head, "I won't do anything for them."
"You are not doing things for them, you are doing things for Qi." Qin Li said: "This is also the reason why I came to you. Jiang Haokun will inevitably fall. The four counties of Fuyuan must gather under the barbarian Yan State. Only in this way can they have the strength to fight with Ming State and bring greater trouble to Ming State. If they succeed, it is naturally good. If they fail, it doesn't matter. At least, they will win more time for us, General Yuan, I will repeat again, you are doing things for Qi State. If you are willing, from now on, you will be the general of Qi State."
Qin Li reached into his arms and took out a letter of appointment, which was covered with bright red seal of Qi. "This is a letter of appointment issued by the Emperor of Great Qi himself. General Yuan, please consider it!"
Yuan Pu's hands were trembling, and he slowly picked up the letter of appointment and swept the contents word by word.
"If the barbarians can persevere in the future, then you will definitely be in a high position in Yan State, not only because you hold heavy troops, but also because you have Qi State behind you. Even if you fail, you have a place to go. When you arrive in Qi State, you will still be a general." Qin Li smiled and drank the tea in the cup in one sip, looking at Yuan Pu with a determined expression.
“I need time to think about it.”
"No problem, General Yuan, as long as you make up your mind, then on the day when Fuyuan changes the world, we can send your family to Qi first. In Chang'an, we will prepare a house for your family and the general's wife's due treatment, so that you will have no worries." Qin Li said: "This is also a reassurance for the general."
