Chapter 233 Chang Yuchun's Dilemma
Under Xie Ming's arrangement, a group of generals quickly left the city in batches with thousands of soldiers.
After leaving the city, these people, with their own soldiers, began to conduct a carpet search in the territory of King Jin.
But Prime Minister Huo, who had anticipated all this, did the exact opposite.
He returned to Jiang Chen's three counties early with his soldiers.
Looking at the goods that Prime Minister Huo brought back, which were worth millions of silver taels, Yuan Hao didn't know what to say for a moment.
He knew that the smugglers would take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune, but he didn't expect this.
These merchants actually dared to smuggle weapons and armor made by the Xia army to Qi and Ming!
Although Qi and Ming were located to the north of Xia, they had fertile farmland and abundant food supplies.
However, the domestic iron ore resources in these two countries are pitifully scarce.
Therefore, in order to make a fortune, these businessmen even went to great lengths to get these weapons and armor.
But unexpectedly, Jiang Chen got all the benefits now!
On the evening when Huo Xiang led his men back to Jibei County, Jiang Chen, who was far away in Juyu Pass, received a letter from Yuan Hao via carrier pigeon.
After looking at the long list of spoils in Huo Xiang's hand, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile happily.
"Hahaha, Prime Minister Huo is really our lucky general!"
"In just five short days, they managed to bring back nearly 10,000 sets of armor and weapons for us."
Upon hearing the good news, Han Zhong and Du Mingyu couldn't stop smiling.
Although these weapons used for smuggling are certainly not as good as the equipment made by the blacksmiths under Jiang Chen using two smelting methods.
But after all, this number placed here is enough for the new troops under Jiang Chen for the time being.
After Xie Ming and his team searched extensively for two days without finding the whereabouts of those "bandits".
Xie Ming had no choice but to write a letter back to King Jin and report everything to him.
Looking at Xie Ming's reply, Prince Jin didn't know what to say for a moment.
Even Sun Zhong, who was always "well-prepared", could not help but admire Huo Xiang's cleverness.
"Sun Zhong, He Yunfeng, Xiong Kehui, the three of you go down first!"
"My lord, I want to be alone for a while..."
As the King of Jin waved his hand weakly, Sun Zhong and the other two had no choice but to retreat as he ordered.
Before the three of them walked far, they heard bursts of roars coming from the tent behind them.
…
After angrily venting his inner frustration, King Jin never mentioned the matter again.
At the same time, after a long journey, Yu Yanyi arrived at his destination.
After showing Zhu Qizhen's imperial edict, Yu Yanyi was brought to Chang Yuchun by the soldiers guarding outside the camp.
"General Yu Yanyi greets the commander-in-chief."
After being brought into the big tent by the soldiers, Yu Yanyi bowed to Chang Yuchun.
Seeing that Yu Yanyi did not perform the half-kneeling ceremony to him, Chang Yuchun frowned and asked Yu Yanyi with some displeasure.
"Since you are the commander-in-chief, you are my subordinate. But why don't you kneel when you see me?!"
Facing Chang Yuchun's questioning, Yu Yanyi stood up neither humbly nor arrogantly and straightened his back.
"A real man has gold under his knees, and he kneels only to his parents and his monarch."
"And the general is just my superior, why should Yeon Yi kneel to you?"
After saying that, Yu Yanyi raised his head and looked directly at Chang Yuchun.
"What's more, Yan Yi is the military commander appointed by the emperor."
"Logically speaking, the general and I are of the same rank."
After hearing what Yu Yanyi said, even though Chang Yuchun was angry.
There is no reason to blame Yu Yanyi's behavior.
Therefore, Chang Yuchun had to suppress his dissatisfaction and asked someone to take Yu Yanyi away.
Following the soldiers, Yu Yanyi came to the tent that Chang Yuchun had arranged for him.
However, what Yu Yanyi did not expect was that the tent arranged for him by Chang Yuchun was not a tent at all!
Looking at the flies and insects flying around, and the war horses tied up in the tents nearby.
This is clearly the horse breeding place of Chang Yuchun’s army!
Smelling the stench of horse manure in the air, the soldier who led Yu Yanyi pinched his nose.
Then the soldier turned around and said to Yu Yanyi.
"General, this is the tent the general has arranged for you."
"Okay, I got it. Thank you for your help, little brother."
Unlike the soldiers who looked disgusted, Yu Yanyi stood there calmly.
He didn't take the fact that Chang Yuchun was deliberately making things difficult for him to heart at all.
After seeing off the soldier who led the way, Yu Yanyi endured the stench in the air and simply tidied up the camp.
After finishing the cleanup, he brought several bundles of hay to feed the war horses.
After finding a few broken wooden boards, Yu Yanyi put them together.
After spreading the hay on the ground, he lay down on it and fell into a deep sleep!
After learning the news, Chang Yuchun couldn't help but feel a little admiration for Yan Yi in his heart.
You know, even if it was Chang Yuchun, he couldn't endure staying in such a harsh environment for a whole night.
Yu Yanyi was just a delicate scholar, but he managed to survive the night.
Moreover, he was sleeping soundly!
Out of respect for Yu Yanyi , Chang Yuchun came to the stable in person.
"General Yu, this matter was not well arranged by me."
"I have prepared a new tent for you. You can live there!"
As he spoke, Chang Yuchun smiled at Yu Yanyi in a friendly manner.
After hearing what Chang Yuchun said, Yu Yanyi indifferently picked up a pile of hay and fed it to several war horses in the stable nearby.
While feeding the warhorse, Yu Yanyi said to Chang Yuchun.
"General, I appreciate your kindness."
"I won't go to the new tent because I feel quite used to it here."
"But……"
Seeing that Yu Yanyi had no intention of moving away, Chang Yuchun suddenly became anxious and wanted to persuade him a few more times.
But before he could open his mouth, Yu Yanyi retorted.
"General, if you have nothing else to do, please go back first."
"I still have some things to do..."
As he spoke, Yu Yanyi rolled up his sleeves and started shoveling manure for the war horses in front of Chang Yuchun.
Looking at Yu Yanyi's actions, Chang Yuchun didn't realize that Yu Yanyi was mocking him.
He often met Chun, a general who had the disgrace to ask for help from Yu Yanyi, but it was not as important as shoveling manure for a few war horses!
Faced with Yan Yi's blatant humiliation, Chang Yuchun, who always had a bad temper, instantly saw the slight respect he had for Yan Yi disappear.
"Okay, okay, Yu Yanyi, I will remember what happened today!"
