As the saying goes, plans can't keep up with changes. Even though Yang Si's speed wasn't slow, when he arrived at Cangzhou, the Nie clan's diplomatic mission had just left.
"My lord, I'm late." Yang Si took the initiative to apologize. His voice was a little nasal.
He hadn't had the time to take care of his appearance, so he looked particularly disheveled.
Dian Yan also hurriedly apologized, "This lowly one was late, please forgive me, Lord."
Jiang Pengji helped them up. "Not too late, not too late. You came just in time. Jing Rong, your voice doesn't sound right. Are you sick? "
Yang Si said, "I caught a cold. I'll be fine after taking a few doses of medicine."
Dian Yan pulled the rug out from under his feet, "The military counselor has been busy for days, he almost doesn't have time to drink medicine to recuperate. This cold has been going on for almost a month."
Jiang Pengji furrowed her brows. "Get the military doctor to treat Jing Rong carefully. Even if it's just a minor illness, we can't take it lightly."
Yang Si was unable to reject her good intentions. Instead, he felt warmth in his heart.
Nie Liang was poisoned by someone, which was why he had an "incurable cold" for so long. Yang Si was delayed for a month purely because he did not have a good rest.
Wei Ci secretly took a look at the prescription given by the military doctor. It was indeed the right medicine. Only then did he feel at ease and allowed someone to prescribe the medicine for the patient.
"Zixiao, do you know why the Nie Clan's diplomatic mission suddenly left?"
How could the Nie Family be willing to relent when they hadn't gotten any benefits?
Wei Ci communicated with Yang Si and roughly explained the recent situation so that the other party would have a sense of what was going on.
Yang Si was speechless after hearing that.
"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have had to travel day and night and lose weight."
If he couldn't recuperate, he would lose his appetite. Yang Si had lost a lot of weight recently.
Wei Ci glanced at him suspiciously.
How did I lose weight?
As they were talking, Jiang Pengji called them into the tent.
"Has Jing Rong settled all of Bogao's troops in Chenzhou?"
Jiang Pengji still wanted to take Cangzhou. At present, Chenzhou was not of great strategic importance to her.
Yang Si perked up and stepped out of the ranks. "As per my lord's orders, the captives have been properly settled."
"As the saying goes, don't bother two masters for one thing. Why don't you let Jing Rong handle the exchange between Cangzhou and Chenzhou? Do you have any objections? "
Yang Si, who was still a patient, secretly grinned —
He didn't dare to have any objections.
[Rainbow Sweetheart]: Ahwooh — long time no see, Little Sisi!!!
Green Arrow Peppermint: I'm rooting for Rongrong like crazy! He could only blame the heartless host for not letting him appear for a few years!
Back then, when Yang Si first appeared on the scene, he had garnered countless fans and a huge fan club. Ever since Jiang Pengji sent Yang Si to Hu County, there had been no sign of him in the streaming room for the past few years. Many fans abandoned their "old loves" and sought refuge in the arms of their "new loves."
At present, most of the people who were still fans of Yang Si were his die-hard fans.
[Bai Qi]: Hmph, the streamer is really crazy. Little Rongrong is still a patient. Can't you have some love?
My Husband Xu Taotan: "If the host is in love, then Yang Si will be so scared, right?"
Love and Producer: "I'm begging the streamer not to send Xiao Rongrong to such a remote place. It's better to keep her by your side."
The audience loved it madly, but unfortunately, Yang Si, the person involved, did not know.
"Yes, I won't let you down."
Yang Si cupped his hands and bowed, accepting the task.
"By the way, how are the Xu brothers in Zhe County doing?"
After all, they were future opponents. Only by knowing oneself and one's enemy could one win a hundred battles.
Yang Si said, "You don't have to be afraid of Xu Fei, but this Xu Bei … My lord, you have to pay attention to him."
Jiang Pengji said, "Oh?"
"Xu Fei is a radical person. He's brave but reckless. Now that he's been beaten by his cousin, Xu Bei, he's like a turtle hiding on the ground. It looks like he won't be able to hold on for long. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be no hope for him to make a comeback. " Yang Si said, "Xu Bei is different. He's courteous and humble, and he's from a prestigious family. He's recruited many talents and outstanding talents. Among them, his trusted strategist, Han Yu, is the most outstanding. Han Yu is treacherous, shrewd, and meticulous. He's not easy to deal with. "
"Han Yu? Wenbin? No matter what, he's Master Yuanjing's brilliant disciple. If he's an ordinary person, he'll be letting down Master Yuanjing's teachings. "
Upon hearing this long-lost name, Jiang Pengji's first impression was of the handsome youth from the Yi River in Hejian.
Yang Si nodded.
He could barely be considered Master Yuanjing's adopted son. According to their relationship, he and Han Yu could be considered fellow disciples.
Yang Si briefly reported the happenings in Hu County over the past few years. Jiang Pengji listened attentively.
Yang Si's abilities were outstanding. Over the past few years, he'd worked on two fronts simultaneously. Not only had he ruled Hu County into an iron fortress, but he'd also ensured that the people under his rule lived and worked in peace and contentment. He'd also put in a lot of effort to maintain his alliance with Xu Bei, pitting his wits and courage against each other. Over the past few years, he hadn't made a single mistake. This wasn't something an ordinary person could achieve.
"Jing Rong, it's been hard on you all these years."
"I'm just doing my duty. I dare not claim credit," Yang Si said humbly.
After Yang Si, it was Dian Yan's turn.
Jiang Pengji didn't inquire about Dian Yan's military or political affairs. Instead, she gave him a test.
The result was unexpected. Dian Yan, who didn't know much about literature, could answer her questions fluently.
"In the past few years, Deputy Commander Dian has put in a lot of effort to learn. Now that he's been reborn, it's really amazing. "
Most of the generals under Jiang Pengji's command had been promoted several times. Only Dian Yan hadn't moved since he was promoted to deputy commander. It wasn't that she was stingy or that Dian Yan hadn't performed enough meritorious deeds. It was just that Dian Yan's foundation was the weakest. She wanted to train him well before she put him in an important position.
A general who was brave but not astute wouldn't last long.
After the test, her impression of Dian Yan was refreshed.
Dian Yan smiled foolishly and said cautiously, "It's all thanks to Military Advisor Yang who doesn't think I'm slow-witted and always gives me pointers."
It wasn't enough to rely on one's charisma to lead a force. One had to use both the carrot and the stick. One had to reward and punish those who deserved it.
Jiang Pengji wasn't a stingy person. Yang Si and Dian Yan should receive the rewards they deserved. Only then would they be willing to sacrifice their lives for her.
When Huang Song heard that Yang Si was in charge of this matter, the anger in his heart rose rapidly.
This person was his nemesis!
Yuan Xin was a military man. When he thought about problems, he followed his own preferences.
He saw that Huang Song regretted exchanging Cangzhou and Chenzhou for Chenzhou. He said in a tiger's voice, "If my lord isn't willing, you can break the agreement."
Huang Song's secret thoughts were exposed by Yuan Xin. He was embarrassed and humiliated.
Before he could speak, Nie Xun said, "Commander Yuan, have you calculated how many troops Liu Xi has in Cangzhou?"
Seeing that it was Nie Xun, Yuan Xin snorted coldly. "At most 5,000."
Nie Xun said, "If it was before, this number would be correct. But Yang Si led his troops from Chenzhou to Cangzhou. He also brought 2,000 troops with him. In total, it's 7,000. In addition, Liu Xi's main force is stationed at the border of Qianyan County. At the border of Chenzhou, there are also the elites that Yang Si brought from Hu County. In total, there's no less than 60,000. Commander Yuan, have you thought about who will be at a disadvantage if so many troops are mobilized at the same time? "
If you want to break the agreement, you should look at the situation first!
Yuan Xin was rebuked by Nie Xun. He was furious. He couldn't help but say, "Since Mister Nie knows Liu Xi's troops so well, it's obvious that you've put in a lot of effort. Where did this information come from? Did you really find it out yourself, or did your good brother secretly leak it? "
