Chapter 464 Representative

There are strict restrictions on what an envoy can say and do. Before leaving, the commander gave Chen Xiao a thick kraft envelope, which contained all the required information, but more importantly, the bottom line that Ye Tao explained to him: if necessary, he could make a decision as Ye Tao's full-power representative. Of course, he had to have very good reasons to use such a bottom line.

Yunzhou is ready to fight at any time, and the confrontation and friction between the two sides may escalate at any time. In fact, Yunzhou does not mind entering a state of war at this moment. What is worried about is that the army is not fully trained and may encounter unnecessary losses. But Dai Yun’s pillow wind may be right, that is, when Yunzhou is ready, the Western Route Army should be prepared. At least now, it seems that the Western Route Army is one level different from the Yunzhou army in terms of combat effectiveness. If you wait, you may naturally widen the gap further, but it is not impossible for the Western Route Army to catch up. After all, Yunzhou’s every move is now stared at, and Yunzhou’s army is complex and sophisticated. It is impossible for Dai Yun to see the gun works of Ye’s workshop, but even so, she insists that she should not wait.

Ye Tao was a little moved. Not to mention that the military system of Yunzhou has formed an extremely efficient military system of rapid assembly, rapid marching, and rapid combat with so many years. The initial 50 battalions all had the efficiency of rapid response troops, and the subsequent expansion of troops did not reduce this ability much. In addition, Yunzhou could actually be engaged in combat at any time, with a total of around 150,000 troops trained for many years. It also included second-line troops such as the garrison battalion and the actual combat effectiveness. In addition, Yunzhou also has the potential to mobilize more than 100,000 people at any time and have considerable combat effectiveness, including the cavalry troops on the Penglang Plain and the northern grassland. If the Yunzhou army can make good use of the rapid mobilization characteristics of Yunzhou's army and supplemented with its strong reconnaissance ability, it will be invincible. What Ye Tao was worried about was that there was no railway and the pressure on logistics supply was too great.

Chen Xiaolai received instructions from Ye Tao and the commander-in-chief. Ye Tao said that there is no need to force Bei Liao into the battle; and Dai Yun asked him to privately tell him that if the other party doesn't hand over, we have to fight. If the other party gives in, they will endure humiliation and be more responsible. They will fight even more... Anyway, Chen Xiaolai thought to himself very depressedly, I'm going to find excitement, but you don't arrange things so exciting. Now basically, he has become a person to ask for trouble. His mission

There are only two points: let the Bei Liao side know that those who do not have hope of resistance will be protected as long as they escape into Dongping. They not only recognize the property they carry, but also recognize the property they can prove in other ways. This is an extremely powerful move. Those who are worried about the expropriation of real estate can now feel at ease. In addition, he just went along the way to see the combat preparations and morale of the Western Route Army... Speaking of which, he is not like an envoy, but more like a scout.

But this was indeed what Chen Xiaolai himself asked for. After reading the documents prepared by the commander, he learned about the information of the generals under the Western Route Army, and knew the various calibers to deal with various people, he burned all the documents. These contents were firmly engraved in his heart. As a archer, he could not aim the scale before shooting an archery, and as an envoy, he could not look at the cheat sheet and negotiate with people.

Yunzhou's leadership and wealth can be reflected without military protection. Since it is a negotiation, it is naturally necessary to take a path where both sides can see it and feel that they have some control. After entering the Northern Liao army for many years, it has become the Dalun Mountain Fortress, which has now become the first line of defense facing Yunzhou. Chen Xiao's feeling is very obvious.

The Northern Liao side did not master the mystery of frame-type architecture at all. Even the most important main fort in Dalun Mountain used half-frame construction technology that could not be learned. Although it was a frame and a stone beam, it could only be built with a bracket on it and strengthened it in various ways. To fight against stone bombs and other attacks, it should not be a big problem to see the complex appearance. However, the main fort was on the top of Dalun Mountain. Who was full and could use a stone bomb to hit it? When it comes to air defense, the Northern Liao side also had some awareness, but the re-made artillery mounts of the god-arm bows could indeed point to the sky, but lacked flexibility. From the complacent faces of the soldiers of the Western Route Army who operated these powerful crossbows, Chen Xiaolai knew that their understanding of airships was still a few years ago, or

The spies in Bei Liao usually look like they do. The new type of snow owl airship is much happier than before, quieter, has more bomb loading, and can drop bombs at a higher height. These high-fire crossbows that are hard to say when pointing to the sky and range are at most scratching the itch. The attached buildings around the main fort of Dalun Mountain are even more clumsy. Bei Liao seems to have tried all the architectural methods they can think of in Dalun Mountain. Archway-style mountain gates, command posts on the hillside of traditional wooden buildings, bungalows, adobe houses and buildings, rammed earth structures, wood and stone structures, brick and wood structures, stone structures, etc., and various fortresses with various colors. I am used to seeing Yunzhou's well-planned buildings, and I really don't care about it when I get here.

Chen Xiaolai originally thought that he would move eastward to the headquarters of the Western Route Army when he stayed for a short time. Unexpectedly, he was soon told that the so-called "negotiation" would be held in Dalun Mountain. Major General Gao Senqi would meet him in two days.

This news made Chen Xiaolai feel sad. The commander of the Western Route Army is now reporting his duties in the capital of Northern Liao. In fact, he is a hostage, making the Western Route Army dare not move. And Gaosen Banner is the core of the entire Western Route Army now. Gaosen Banner is in Dalun Mountain? If it weren't for inspecting the current situation, it would be that the Western Route Army was ready to attack at any time.

When he was really facing Gao Senqi, Chen Xiao couldn't see any worries. For him, it was useless to worry about such a battle-level matter, so naturally someone would care about it. What he had to do was to make his own request.

Gao Senqi is Ye Tao's friend. This incredible fact allows Chen Xiaolai to see Gao Senqi openly. "I have met General Gao, and my lord asked me to speak up, but I didn't expect to meet the major general so soon."

"Stop this. The last time Gondor's inauguration ceremony was the last time I went to Yunzhou as a personal identity. From that day on, Ye Tao was my opponent, far more than a friend. If you want to set foot in Yunzhou in the future, I am afraid that you will be a prisoner of war." Gao Senqi said with a smile, obviously he didn't care much about Chen Xiaolai's not a fabricated greeting. "You can explain your intentions in the future. If you talk about it, you can talk about it early. You can prepare for it early. Look at you like this, you are not a civil servant."

"The general is very knowledgeable. I was originally an archer in the Guards camp. I was an adjutant of my lord, less than a month." Chen Xiaolai said frankly: "This is the thing. A while ago, the Flying Tiger Camp sneaked into Yunzhou and pursued the Weining Ding family. I guess the major general should have known about it. Since the Weining Ding family is seeking asylum from Yunzhou, my Yunzhou will naturally take it down. The rest of the Weining Ding family may have fallen into the hands of the Northern Liao Dynasty. My family wants to ask, if there is such a thing, can we hand over the people to us?"

"Oh? Leave it to you? Why? Can't I kill a few traitors in Beiliao?" A thin general came out of the crowd and said angrily: "You Yunzhou is too disregarded."

"They are not traitors, don't make mistakes. They are just merchant families. They pay taxes to seek security and national security. The state collects their taxes and agrees to take on such responsibilities. Since the Northern Liao attempt to seize the Ding family's property, the Ding family has no longer been a minister. The contract between the Ding family and the Northern Liao will collapse. While you ask others to pay the tax on grain and tax, you also ask others to hand over the years to pay the income from their business. Is there such a country? What's the difference between this and bandits?" Chen Xiaolai said distractedly. In Yunzhou, these young people have been inculcated by this idea that is obviously ahead of the times over the years. This argument of contract theory has long been deeply portrayed in their bones, just like the courage in each of them.

"Yunzhou's fallacies..." Gao Senqi sighed. "If you want people, I have to hand over them. What is the reason? People, I have indeed captured them. If I want them, I don't think it's necessary to kill them, but it's impossible to let them go. If I want me to hand them over to you, then my face in Bei Liao will be wiped out. That's absolutely impossible. Let's give up this one. What else do you have, let's talk about it."

"Oh, the Major General really caught people. Since the Major General refused to give us people, then it's okay. Anyway...haha." The implicit meaning of Chen Xiaolai's chuckling was obviously: Let's fight and let people go, no need for you. This chuckle suddenly hit everyone's heart. No matter how hard the Western Army prepares for war and how hard it is to govern, the middle and senior generals present knew the gap between them and the Yunzhou army. The pressure put on them by the Yunzhou army certainly turned them into motivation for progress, but also made them feel heavy psychological pressure.

"Are you threatening me?" Gao Senqi said with a smile: "If you have the ability, let Ye Tao come...it will happen sooner or later, right?"

"You don't have to ask why the Flying Tiger Camp crossed the border and hunted. Now, everything is nothing more than a reason. Ye Tao found a good reason and a good opportunity." Gao Senqi shook his head and sighed.
