"I like you!" Yaerdan's crisp voice echoed on the banks of Yueerbend Lake. Yun Zhao, who was still chewing the previous few words of Yaerdan that had obvious profound meaning in his heart, was shocked and dizzy. He raised his head, opened his mouth and watched the carriage go away in a daze.

"This little witch!" Yun Zhao shook his head, turned around and led the dark clouds to the snow, and walked towards Yan Xiaoyi and others.

Yaerdan's confession was loud enough, and Yan Xiaoyi and others in the distance could hear it clearly. Seeing Yun Zhao coming, everyone except Yan Xiaoyi couldn't help laughing.

"General, this woman said she likes you, why don't you take him back to Anqing to be her wife? It's better to have a few young generals out." Jiang Xu leaned on the Mo Dao, leaned against the horse, and asked Yun Zhao with a silly smile.

Jiang Xu's words aroused another burst of laughter. Yan Xiaoyi had a gloomy face and shouted: "Silly, you know what a big deal, shut your stinky mouth!"

Jiang Xu turned his head and looked at Yan Xiaoyi with some confusion, "Brother Xiaoyi, we all heard that woman said she likes the general, why are you so unhappy? Could it be that you like this woman too? Well, you must not be able to rob the general."

Yan Xiaoyi was furious and choked, and his waist was unsheathed for half a foot, and he returned it heavily.

"Boss!" He looked at Yun Zhao, "Hundreds of our brothers were all broken into this woman's hands. I saw her orders to cut off several of their brothers' heads."

Yun Zhao nodded and patted Yan Xiaoyi on the shoulder, "You are thinking too much. This woman is cruel and ruthless, and her heart is so heartless. Can you take her seriously? I don't know what she is paying attention to! We are with her, which is the current business dealings. After autumn, we will collect the grain in Anqing and no longer worry about the grain. At that time, we will only have an enemy relationship with them."

The group of people got on the horse and rushed back towards Anqing, finalizing business matters with each other. Next, food will flow continuously to Anqing. With this food, life will get better and better through spring and summer.

The Meng people have to concentrate their efforts to deal with the threat from Taizhou and Yizhou, and they can't take care of Yun Zhao in Anqing for the time being. Tuotuo, who is responsible for Anqing's direction, was frightened by Yun Zhao again. Therefore, this year will definitely be a rare opportunity for Yun Zhao to breathe, and miss this great opportunity for development. Once the Yitai and the two places decide the victory or defeat, or the battle is in a stalemate, Wuda will definitely look at Anqing, and at that time, life will be difficult.

"We have a year!" Yun Zhao looked at Yan Xiaoyi and said, "After going back, we have to think carefully about what we should do to hold on and have a greater development. Anqing, after all, is too small."

"Boss is right. Anqing is now like being in a tiger and wolf den, although it is struggling to support it. However, the development prospects are limited, and we must find ways to go out. But to be honest, Boss, our prospects are not good. Once the Mongolian army turns its attention to Anqing, we may not be able to hold on. The best thing is that Taizhou can quickly defeat the Mongolian army."

"I'm afraid this hope is not realistic." Yun Zhao shook his head, "According to the brief description, after the fourth prince arrived in Taizhou, he only had two elite forces, Xiaowei and Wuwei, with more than 60,000 guards, plus the Taizhou army, and the temporary recruitment of troops, the total number will not exceed 150,000. In front of them, there were 50,000 or 60,000 people in the Zarchiwuti tribe of Aslan alone. Including the big tent soldiers, there were other tribal soldiers, and it was almost impossible to defeat the Mongolian army quickly."

"General, and Pan Haoran from Yizhou! He has an army of 100,000!" Yan Xiaoyi said.

"It is precisely because he has 100,000 troops and is well-trained troops that I am worried!" Yun Zhao frowned, "Why does Pan Haoran have such many elite troops in a state? Did he know that the Mongolian army is going to invade in a presumptuous way? I am afraid that this person has a different ambition, so it is not helping, and maybe it will be a bad thing."

"Impossible?" Yan Xiaoyi's face changed a little by Yun Zhao's bold assumption.

"Everything is possible!" Yun Zhao clamped his legs, and the dark clouds paused the snow suddenly accelerated. "In order to compete for the throne for the eldest prince, Sima Ren could even give up Tanzhou. Have you ever thought about it at that time? If it weren't for the brief description for me, I still couldn't understand the truth."

"These people are too dark!" Yan Xiaoyi said angrily: "In their eyes, there are the welfare and interests of millions of ordinary people? For their own selfishness, they dare to do such things that both people and gods are angry."

"There is nothing these people dare not do. As long as they can achieve their goals, Xiao Yi, don't have any illusions about those people, and don't pin their hopes on them. We must control our own destiny. This is why I am willing to sign such a treaty with the other party and strive to trade food with the other party for at least one year."

Yan Xiaoyi said naively: "Boss, but in this way, what's the difference between us and them?"

Yan Xiaoyi's words had just landed, and the dark clouds had already made a long neighing sound. The man stood up, but Yun Zhao pulled the reins. Yun Zhao looked up at the lush mountains of Bayankara Mountains in the distance in a daze. After a while, he said loudly, "What is the difference between us and them? No, Xiaoyi, we still have a difference. I did this to make everyone in Anqing survive."

"Everything is for living, for survival!"

"Only by living first, can we talk about other things!"

"They are for wealth, for wealth, for power, and for life. This is our right! A little bit of insignificant little power, and I will not be afraid of anything in order to obtain this little power. Anyone who wants to deprive us of this little power will take his life!" Yun Zhao slapped Dark Clouds on the buttocks of Xue with a backhand, and ran forward like a sharp arrow.

When a group of more than ten people returned to Anqing City, it was already dusk. The sun had already sunk. The angrily wind lights had already lit up one by one on the top of the city. On the top of the city, Su Dingfang, who had been waiting for him, walked down quickly and reached out to hold the reins of the dark clouds and snow for Yun Zhao. "General, you are finally back, but I'm so anxious."

Yun Zhao turned over and dismounted, "What happened?"

"A man has come to the capital, and the emperor's decree has arrived." Su Dingfang said.

"It's here when we arrive, what's so great about it?" Yun Zhao said lightly: "The imperial envoy would not have come naked except for the imperial edict, right? We are all wrong now. General Yue died all his life. The emperor would not have sent us apart from a piece of commendation and some stupid things, right?"

Su Dingfang looked at the other party with a tongue. Although he had been in Shangjing for a long time, he had never received the emperor's imperial edict before. This was a kind of honor, but looking at Yun Zhao's appearance, he was full of no concern.

He smiled wryly and said, "Of course, the imperial envoy cannot bring us the food and weapons we need. He only brought the imperial edict, but briefly stated that General Jian had obtained a lot of seeds for us. This time, he arrived with the team escorting the imperial envoy."

Hahaha! Yun Zhao laughed and said, "Okay, that's the only affordable thing. It's really my elder brother. He didn't say anything vain. He got it here and took good care of the messenger from Brother Jian. I'll invite him to drink afterwards."

"General, let's receive the imperial edict first. I have already settled the people from General Jian's place, but the imperial envoy from Beijing is still waiting at the Zhen General's Mansion and is preparing to issue the imperial edict to the general!" Su Dingfang said.

"Okay, let's go, it's just to be an official!" Yun Zhao threw the reins to Jiang Xu and followed Su Dingfang toward the town general's mansion.

"General, I have prepared the incense table for the orders, and I have already prepared the imperial envoy. But General, you should go and take a shower and come out to receive the orders. The imperial envoy must be unhappy in this way. Besides, it seems that he is not very respectful to His Majesty the Emperor." Su Dingfang accompanied Yun Zhao all the way and said.

Yun Zhao stopped and looked at his whole body, "It's clean, why can't it work? Isn't it just accepting the order? How could it be so troublesome? I have to take a shower and change clothes. Lao Su, we are military generals, and there is not so much attention. If the imperial envoy really asks, he said that we had just come down from the battlefield and were fighting with the Mongolian people. After returning, we came to receive the order without even drinking saliva. It was already respectful enough."

Su Dingfang was stunned when he heard this. Seeing Yun Zhao strode forward, he hurriedly rushed over.

"I'll send the imperial envoy away later, we have a lot of things to do!" Yun Zhao said: "You will find Jiang Feng, Ding Qiu, Meng Yao, Lao Hu and others in the future."

"Okay, I know!"

In the hall of the town general's mansion, the imperial envoy Qin Gan from Shangjing was already impatient. Although the journey from Shangjing to Yizhou, there was still a road. However, from Yizhou to Anqing, he suffered a lot from the Bayankala Mountain. Qin Gan, who has always been in the palace, has suffered so much, and has been used to living a comfortable life. He has almost been carried by dozens of guards who protected him. Even so, he was still exhausted. He thought of Anqing, and announced an order to take a good laundry and have a good bath, have a good drink, and then climb onto the bed.

The exhausted along the way, but unexpectedly, the main person who received the order was not in Anqing. He waited in the hall for half a day and changed several cups of tea. Before the other party came back, the anger in his heart turned up, but he could only endure it and not cause anger. He knew the content of the order. A fourth-rank general who was so young that he felt outrageous! A fourth-rank general who was only in his twenties had never been in the history of Dayue. Such a person had an extremely brilliant future, and he could not afford to be valued by the emperor so much.

"General Yun is back!" Cheers rang out outside, Qin Gan felt relieved and breathed a long sigh of relief.

He knelt down, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, shouted long live the mountain, and then lay on the ground and listened to Qin Gan's duck voice chanting the will of the supreme man from Shangjing. It was just that the content of the will shocked everyone in the hall.

"General Xuanwei, Fourth-rank?" Yun Zhao's mind roared. Of course, he knew the difference between General Xuanwei, the fourth-rank, and the previously expected Ranger General. (To be continued...)
