Zhang Fu asked Wei Yuan to escort Ye Li Wangrong's body and reach a deal with Ye Li Yuqi.

In fact, there is a selfish motive.

If the alienation plan succeeds, Wei Yuan will make another contribution.

For Wei Yuan, this trip was not only a possibility to make meritorious deeds, but also an opportunity to recruit the Cao Gang.

Although the Cao Gang is a powerful force in the world, for the big shots in the imperial court, it can be wiped out with just a few clicks.

However, small people also have their uses. If they are used well, they can be worth a thousand armies.

Three days later.

Wei Yuan and three thousand cavalry came out of the customs, escorting a coffin to the place agreed upon by both parties.

During this period, the scouts did not notice any changes in the Liao or Xixia military camps.

Arrive at the agreed upon location.

Wei Yuan suddenly saw Ye Li Yuqi with a white cloth tied around his arm.

Behind the latter, there were also thousands of cavalry.

"I didn't expect that you were the one escorting my brother's body out of Yanmen. How dare you! Aren't you afraid that this general will chop you up?!"

Yeli Yuqi looked at Wei Yuan with eyes filled with hatred.

Wei Yuan held the Guan Dao in his hand and laughed: "Do you think that the knife in my hand is harmful?"

For a time, the atmosphere on both sides became tense.

A little carelessness can lead to a war.

Yeli Yuqi took a deep breath and waved his hand, "Bring people up!"

Afterwards, more than a hundred merchants were tied up with iron chains, their bodies were miserable and scarred.

Wei Yuan frowned, "You can't beat our army on the battlefield, so you bully the civilians. You Xixia army are really good!"

Ye Liyu begged: "Bring the coffin over here and keep your head well until I come to get it!"

Wei Yuan did not want to argue with him anymore, so he glanced at a soldier beside him.

Then, the two parties started trading.

Hundreds of people came to the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty in slow steps.

As for the coffin, it was naturally handed over to the Xixia Army.

Yeli Yuqi stroked the coffin and glanced at Wei Yuan with gritted teeth.

"Sooner or later I will kill you to avenge my brother!"

"All troops retreat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yuan spoke quickly,

"Wait!"

Ye Li Yuqi's eyes turned cold and he immediately showed his weapon.

Behind them, the Xixia cavalry were also in prepared formations.

It seemed like a melee was coming.

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "What? General Yeli is so afraid that I, the general, will rush over and kill him?"

Yeli Yuqi frowned deeply and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Wei Yuan said: "This is not the place to talk. If you want to know the cause of your brother's death, just come with me!"

Then, he rode alone to an open area not far away.

Yeli Yuqi looked around and ordered:

"The whole army is on standby. If you see that this general is ill, retreat to the camp immediately without any mistakes!"

Immediately afterwards, he chased Wei Yuan.

The two of them turned over and dismounted one after another.

Wei Yuan was the first to speak: "General Yeli, I wonder why you learned the cause of your brother's death from Li Yuanhao's mouth?"

Talk here and no one can hear you.

In other words, even if they had a huge quarrel, no third person would know about it.

If this matter reaches the ears of the suspicious Li Yuanhao, the alienation strategy will be half successful.

"You dare to call my Lord by his first name, how brave you are!"

Ye Li Yuqi firmly held the weapon in his hand,

"My brother was killed by you, wasn't it? Did you bring me here to humiliate me and my brother, or did you have other plans?"

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "General Yeli, you and I are both smart people. If you really believed that I killed your brother, you would have fought me long ago. How could you listen to what I say? "

"But you didn't take action, because from the moment I told you that you wanted to know the real cause of my brother's death, you already had doubts in your heart."

Yeli Yuqi obviously didn't have much patience, "Stop talking nonsense."

Wei Yuan said bluntly: "Your brother died of poisoning. Only you Xixia have that kind of poison."

"I heard about the sudden change in the Xixia Palace and that Yang Shousu was killed by Li Yuanhao. Your sister-in-law got a letter from your brother from Yanmen, insisting that your brother was killed by me."

"But do you think I'm stupid? Will I kill an envoy who is famous all over the world in Yanmen Pass? Or do you think that Yanmen Pass is so vulnerable that just a random person can deliver a message?"

Having said this, Wei Yuan got on his horse and was about to leave.

Yeli Yuqi thought of many things in an instant. He frowned secretly and looked at Wei Yuan.

"Are you telling me this to alienate my relationship with my Lord?"

The latter laughed and said: "You are right, it is indeed a estrangement, but what I said is also the truth. It is up to you to decide whether you believe it or not."

Later, Wei Yuan and three thousand cavalry escorted hundreds of merchants back to the pass.

Ye Liyu looked at their departing figures and murmured:

"If Yang Shousu really wanted to rebel and surrender to the enemy, how could he ask my brother to send the family letter?"

——

On the way back to Yanmen Pass.

A man with a good temperament and a beard suddenly bowed to Wei Yuan who was sitting on the horse and said:

"May I ask, who is General Yuanwei of the Sai Hussar Cavalry Guard?"

Just now, he heard the Xixia coach say that it was Wei Yuan who killed Yeli Wangrong.

Therefore, Wei Yuan's identity was guessed.

Hear the sound.

Wei Yuan frowned slightly.

It's true that his name is Wei Yuan, but what is Sai Hussar?

"It's true that I am Wei Yuan, but what does this race mean?"

Wei Yuan asked.

The big man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly bowed respectfully again:

"It is indeed General Wei. It is truly a blessing to meet General Wei today."

"Sai Huqi is the name given to you by our people in the world of martial arts in the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Wei Qing and Huo Qubing both held this position.

Wei Yuan was similar in age to Huo Qubing, but his surname was Wei.

Regardless of whether he is called a champion or a title like Wei Qing, it doesn't seem to be good.

Therefore, there was a title of racing hussar.

Meaning, Wei Yuan is comparable to Huo Qubing and Wei Qing.

Wei Yuan smiled and said: "This general has never been in the Jianghu, but I didn't expect to have the title of Jianghu."

The big man smiled and said: "It's just because people in the world admire you very much after hearing about your deeds of guarding Yanmen."

Wei Yuan asked: "Who are you?"

The big man cupped his hands and said: "Shi Jian from Caobang has met General Wei. I would like to thank General Wei for saving his life today. If you need help from Caobang in the future, please ask General Wei to send you."

Caobang Shi Jian?

Surnamed Shi?

Did you know that the people in charge of the Cao Gang are named Shi?

It takes no effort at all.

Wei Yuan smiled and said, "It's easy to say that your Cao Gang has repeatedly supported our surrounding armies to resist the Xia and Liao Kingdoms. You can be called a benevolent and righteous man."

Shi Jian said: "General Wei's words are serious."

After returning to Yanmen Pass.

Wei Yuan first handed over the errand to Zhang Fu, and then heard that there was a letter from Bianjing.

He looked at the envelope and found that it was written by Ming Lan.

He laughed out loud inadvertently and murmured:

"This girl also knows how to write letters to my uncle."

After reading all the contents in the envelope, he had a clearer understanding of the promotion or changes of the current plot.

"Minglan and Guifen have a better relationship, which saves me a lot of worry."

“I don’t know how long this battle will last.”

"I really want to go to Bianjing as soon as possible."

After thinking about this, Wei Yuan began to reply.

At the same time, he also wrote a letter to his wife.

In addition to expressing gratitude for the gifts given to Wei Shuyi and his wife, the letter included.

He also specifically requested Mrs. Zhang to send someone to take care of the house that the emperor rewarded her with.

He planned to create a separate courtyard in his house for his two sisters to live in.

"A few days ago, my second sister wrote that she is pregnant."

"Now that the New Year is approaching, I have to show something."

Make arrangements for household chores.

A guard came to report.

"General, there is someone outside the camp who claims to be the leader of the Cao Gang asking to see him."

Leader of the Cao Gang?

Shi Jian?

Is he the leader of the Cao Gang?
