Chapter 204 There is no other branch.
"Why are you still talking about the past?"
Wei Dingshan took Ye Kun's hand and said with a smile: "General Ye, General Shangguan, please come into the tent."
Behind Wei Dingshan, the second son Wei Kang glared at him angrily;
The third young lady, Wei Caiqin, dressed as a man, winked at Ye Kun.
Wei Dingshan doted on Wei Caiqin too much, and even brought her along to make trouble during the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.
"Meet the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master."
Ye Kun nodded to Wei Caiqin and Wei Kang and entered the big tent.
The host and the guest were seated, tea was served, and some greetings were exchanged.
Ye Kun pretended to report his work and said:
"Sir Shangguan and I have few soldiers and generals. This time, we will have to rely on Sir Wei to make the decision on the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains."
Wei Dingshan was very powerful. In this northern expedition, he dispatched 50,000 elite troops, which was more powerful than the army of Yizhou.
"How dare I." Wei Dingshan said politely, and asked calmly:
"I heard that General Ye is with the Yizhou army, is that right?"
The relationship between Jingzhou and Yizhou is sensitive, and both want to swallow up the other.
Ye Kun was close to Gongsun Zhang of Yizhou, so Wei Dingshan of Jingzhou was naturally nervous.
Ye Kun answered truthfully: "We met just the day before yesterday, so we traveled together."
"That's right..." Wei Dingshan seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly asked:
"In General Ye's opinion, what do the troops of Yizhou think?"
"The people of Bashu are brave and brave, and there are many who are good at fighting."
"Is it more powerful than my Jingzhou army?" The second son Wei Kang was angry.
"I think they are about the same. Of course, Lord Wei is better at leading troops." Ye Kun said with a smile.
Who is more powerful, Jingzhou or Yizhou? What does it have to do with me?
Why don't you two have a fight and then you'll know the result!
Wei Dingshan was a steady man after all. He turned around and glared at his son:
"This time we are fighting for the country. Yizhou's strong army is a blessing for the country. Kang'er, you can't talk nonsense. Our Jingzhou army is also contributing to the country, so we should be the first to fight."
Wei Kang glared at Ye Kun and didn't dare to say anything more.
Ye Kun didn't care and was in high spirits. He just liked the way the Second Young Master couldn't stand him but couldn't get rid of him!
After the lunch banquet, Wei Dingshan asked the second son to see the guests off.
Wei Caiqin followed Ye Kun and whispered:
"Brother Ye, before the troops were dispatched, my father asked you to join him. Why didn't you agree?"
"I'm afraid of being slaughtered." Ye Kun touched his neck and whispered:
"Persuade your second brother to calm down and not cause trouble in my military camp. The meeting of princes is a matter of justice and it is no joke."
Ye Kun was really worried about Wei Kang, a guy with an IQ of 250.
It is possible that he has a brain cramp and is doing something behind the scenes!
Wei Caiqin was startled when she heard this, then nodded: "I understand."
It was an extraordinary time as the army was gathering there, so the two men did not want to say too much and just waved goodbye.
There is a stream of water, and the love is so deep that I cannot express it in words.
Returning to his military camp, Shangguan Jifu grinned evilly.
Ye Kun squinted his eyes: "Fourth brother, what are you laughing at?"
"No, I laugh at Brother Dalang for being a romantic man and liking men, such as the Third Young Master of Jingzhou..."
"Stop kidding, that's the Third Miss disguised as a man." Ye Kun rolled his eyes.
"It turns out to be the third young lady, no wonder." Shangguan Jifu continued to grin.
"In front of two armies, can you be serious?"
"Yes, yes."
Shangguan Jifu was still laughing, and ordered Wang Meng beside him: "Pass my order, anyone in the barracks who dares to go out to meet a woman will be beaten with 500 military sticks!"
Five hundred military sticks can turn a grown man into dumpling filling.
Ye Kun shook his head and went back to his tent to rest.
Ye Kun was not afraid of a thousand military sticks because he and Shangguan Jifu were not subordinate to each other.
Gongsun Zhang of Yizhou, upon learning that Ye Kun and Shangguan Jifu went to pay a visit to Wei Dingshan, became nervous again and sent someone to invite Ye Kun and Shangguan Jifu to a banquet in the evening.
Ye Kun, who was sandwiched between two major princes, unexpectedly became a popular commodity.
While I was drinking in the evening, I received news that the princes of the world would hold a meeting in Suanzao in three days to arrange combat tasks.
Ye Kun looked at the map and saw that Suanzao was still more than a hundred miles away.
After the dinner, Ye Kun returned to the military camp to make arrangements and asked everyone to stay where they were and wait. He and Shangguan Jifu would ride to Suanzao tomorrow.
late at night.
Suddenly, a loud shout was heard from behind the food and forage camp, and then the entire camp was on alert.
The guards reported: "Lord Ye, three men in black approached our camp and were shot by the secret sentry's crossbow. One died, one was injured, and another got on a horse and fled to the south!"
"Bring the injured one in here!"
"As ordered!"
Soon, the bodyguards carried in a dead body and a wounded soldier.
Another personal soldier came with two black horses.
Ye Kun frowned: "Search!"
The guards had searched them long ago and said, "We have already searched them. They are carrying rocket oil and fire starters. It is obvious that they are here to set fire."
Ye Kun sneered.
This person should be sent by Wei Kang to cause trouble.
Unfortunately, this idiot Wei Kang doesn’t know that there is something called a telescope in the world!
Ye Kun's telescope has been equipped to the level of a trusted scout.
It was not yet September 20th, the autumn moon was bright, and the target could be spotted by distant sentries.
Shangguan Jifu rushed over, carefully identified the characteristics of the two men and two horses, and whispered:
"They look familiar. They seem to be Wei Kang's personal soldiers. This bastard sent people to set fire to our food supplies. He wanted to kill us!"
Ye Kun shouted at the injured: "Who sent you to set the fire?"
"We are just passing by, no one sent us here..."
"fart!"
Ye Kun checked the black-clothed man's belongings and found a piece of white wax. He sneered:
"This is the wax oil extracted from the Chinese tallow tree in Jingzhou. There is only one store that produces it. You don't need to quibble. You must be a spy sent by Wei Kang from Jingzhou!"
The man in black gritted his teeth and said, "Jingzhou tung oil and white wax are sold everywhere. I bought this."
Ye Kun was too lazy to talk too much and ordered his attendants:
"Drag him out, gently cut open his skin with a knife, and sprinkle it with fine salt. Rub it all over his body and treat him well!"
"Master Ye, don't!"
The captives screamed with fear, and all their courage was gone. They kowtowed and shouted, "It was Wei Kang, the second son of Jingzhou, who ordered us to set the fire."
Ye Kun snorted: "Take him down and treat the arrow wound. Don't let him die."
The left and right men stepped forward and took the prisoner away.
Shangguan Jifu asked: "How should this matter be handled?"
"Of course we have to notify Wei Dingshan and ask him to come and get the person."
Ye Kun was not angry, but grinned: "We didn't suffer any loss, but Wei Kang's life will be difficult again. I don't know how Wei Dingshan will deal with him after he returns!"
Shangguan Jifu shook his head: "Wei Kang was originally the designated successor of Jingzhou. Now it seems that his IQ is not even enough to be a village chief!"
Anyone with a normal IQ can't do this!
Ye Kun smiled and asked Shangguan Jifu to go back and rest.
Shangguan Jifu was also afraid of Wei Kang, the idiot, so after he returned, he added a long-range sentry and a mobile sentry.
Before dawn the next day, Ye Kun wrote a personal letter and sent Zhuge Feng to meet Wei Dingshan.
In the letter, Ye Kun said that someone had instigated discord and pretended to be a soldier from Jingzhou to set fire, but had been caught. He asked Wei Dingshan how to deal with the matter.
Wei Dingshan was shocked and went to Ye Kun’s camp with his personal soldiers to check it out.
The old man knew that this matter was very serious.
If Ye Kun exposed the matter, Jingzhou would be disgraced. We are all fighting against the traitor, but you stabbed him in the back, how could the princes tolerate you?
Wei Caiqin also followed her father with a heavy expression on her face.
Ye Kun smiled as usual and welcomed Wei Dingshan into the big tent, asking him to go and see the two men in black, one dead and one injured, the black horse, and the rocket kerosene and other evidence.
Wei Dingshan took a look and his expression changed.
