The Great Swordsman Of Xiangye

The Tang Emperor looked at Zhang Ziyan and said, "General Zhang, what do you suggest!"

Zhang Ziyan looked at the Tang Emperor and said: "The minister feels that the King of Yan must be released, but we can put forward the following conditions, first, the Yan Kingdom needs to compensate our country for 100 million taels of silver; Second, Chongming, the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom, stayed in the Tang Kingdom as a proton, and third, he must pay us 5 million taels of silver within 10 years. The

Tang Emperor nodded in satisfaction, but did not speak, and looked towards the courtiers in the hall.

At this time, the Wen Chen from before came out and said, "General Zhang, why don't you want Yan Guo to cut the land as long as you pay reparations?"

"I asked you what you wanted the other party to cut the land for?" Zhang Ziyan asked.

"Opening up the territory and expanding the territory has been the pursuit of my generation since ancient times!" This Wen Chen said.

"Oh? Then why don't you support General Xu Shida to destroy the Yan Kingdom? Zhang Ziyan looked at this Wen Chen with a smile, "By the way, if you destroy the country, without your credit, you can't live for a hundred lifetimes!"

"You're bloody, when did I ever have such an idea?" Wen Chen said angrily.

"Waste wood, don't be angry in this incompetence!" Zhang Ziyan looked at him and said, "You can't ask for compensation for land cession and start a war to destroy the country, because there are too many involved behind this, and if you don't go far, the Xiling gang will not agree to us destroying the country or ceding the land of the Yan Kingdom?"

Zhang Ziyan looked at this Wen Chen without refuting and continued: "Even if the other party agrees, do you need a lot of manpower and material resources for development, if you can't destroy the Yan Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom people in these cities will always want to return to the Yan Kingdom, what good is this for us?"

"This..." Wen Chen didn't know how to refute for a moment.

"Scrap wood! Can you still stand in this hall? Zhang Ziyan said mockingly, "The reason why I asked the Yan Kingdom for so much silver is to let them take out all the wealth of the Yan Kingdom at one time and let them pay tribute, that is, let them not have the ability to develop the military within ten years!" When

Wen Chen heard this, he silently retreated back.

Seeing this, Zhang Ziyan knew that he had convinced the other party, so he continued to explain his intentions.

"For compensating silver, and don't want Xiling a penny, Xiling naturally won't be nosy, Xiling just doesn't want our Tang Kingdom to grow, but now this situation is the most acceptable result for Xiling!" Zhang Ziyan scanned the officials in the audience and said.

"And you have also seen the army I trained, although it is very strong now, there is still a big gap for the Xiling cavalry, and now is not the time to go head-to-head with them!" With this planning, let us have a period of ten years of stable development, and who else will be in our army in ten years? At that time, you can get back what you want! Zhang Ziyan returned to his position after saying this.

Tang Huang saw that Zhang Ziyan persuaded the audience, and all of them spoke to his heart, so he stood up and said: "General Zhang said well, Xu agrees very much, just do it according to General Zhang's wishes, you guys grasp the scale, but you must ensure that the Yan Kingdom has no strength to develop in the next ten years!" The

subsequent negotiations were not unexpected by Zhang Ziyan, and after nearly ten days of arguments, the two sides finally let Yan Guo sign a clause that basically locked the development of Yan Guo in the next ten years.

............

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the fifteenth year of the apocalypse came.

Qingxia Pass, inside the city lord's mansion.

A handsome man dressed in white and holding a folding fan sat on the Taishi chair in the courtyard, closing his eyes and recuperating.

This person is our protagonist Zhang Ziyan.

After the Battle of Yan and Tang, Zhang Ziyan returned to Weicheng to continue expanding his army, and in the ninth year of the Apocalypse, he wrote to the Tang Emperor to establish Qingxia Pass in the Qingxia Gorge, the only passage for Xiling to enter the territory of the Tang Kingdom.

Tang Huangli agreed to Zhang Ziyan's proposal, but the requirement was that Zhang Ziyan not ask the imperial court for a penny.

After obtaining the consent of the Tang Emperor, Zhang Ziyan brought all his troops to the Qingxia Gorge and spent two years to build the current Qingxia Pass.

Over the years, Wang Hu, Li Wen and other four have made their own names.

Zhang Ziyan's command now has nearly 20,000 regular battle order troops, and nearly 50,000 logistics troops and reserve troops.

"Hou Ye! The second floor of the academy is about to start accepting apprentices again. Wang Hu walked to Zhang Ziyan and said.

"Oh? Has it already reached this time? Zhang Ziyan opened his eyes and muttered in his mouth.

"Hou Ye, what did you say?" Wang Hu asked.

"Oh, nothing." Zhang Ziyan stood up and said, "I'm going out to do errands, Qingxia Pass will be left to you and Li Wen to take care of, I will come back if there is anything important, and you two will watch and deal with other things."

After speaking, Zhang Ziyan disappeared in place.

"Yes, Hou Ye!" Wang Hu saluted at the place where Zhang Ziyan disappeared.

......

On the Gobi Desert outside Weicheng, a dozen Tang soldiers and twenty or thirty horse bandits were fighting.

"If you are going to die, blame you champions! Who let us be killed more than ten years ago!

"Without Champion Hou, the Weicheng border is not a place where you can be presumptuous, I don't know if you have heard of the woodcutter in Subi Lake!" The person led by Tang Guo said.

The man was carrying three knives, a yellow wooden bow, and his face was covered by a veil.

"Are you a woodcutter at Subi Lake?" The horse bandit on the opposite side exclaimed.

"I don't care what kind of woodcutter you are, for more than ten years, this feud will start with you!" The horse bandit led by him pulled out his knife and rushed out and said.

"Scrap!" This man also pulled out his knife and rushed over with the Tang Kingdom soldiers.

A few minutes later, only the corpses of the horse bandits were left in one place.

"Ning Que, you are getting stronger and stronger! It is estimated that it will not be long before you can enter the reserve army, right? The soldier on the side said enviously.

"My goal is to go to the academy, find a great practitioner to solve my problems, and embark on the path of cultivation." Ning Que said.

"It's a pity, do you know that when you enter the reserve army, you have the hope of entering the Seven Kills Camp, the Broken Military Camp, and the Greedy Wolf Army, the three units with the best welfare in our Tang Kingdom, and I heard that the generals of the three forces that killed the Wolf are all cultivators." The soldier just now said without dying.

"But I don't have time to wait slowly, I still have revenge to repay!" Ning Que thought in his heart, but did not speak again, and beat the horse and walked back.

After entering Weicheng, he returned to his residence and shouted: "Sangsang, your young master I have returned, young master, I am hungry, prepare to eat."

"Young Master, you're back!" A little black girl rushed out of the house and said happily, "Young master, you wash first, I will immediately go and cook you sour and spicy noodle soup!" "

......

Weicheng City Lord's Mansion.

Zhao Hai received the news from Zhang Ziyan and sent a letter of recommendation to Ning Que's military department, asking Ning Que to go to Chang'an to study at the academy.

"Ning Que? You, a guy who can't practice, where did you let Hou Ye fancy it, and let Hou Ye specially pass the news over! Zhao Hai thought.
