I don't know when, the people of Jinmen were so sensitive to Yang Yingqi before he was not in Jinmen. First, it was not once or twice that the Seventh General had left the Hanbu base camp, and secondly, because they found that no matter whether Yang Yingqi was there or not, their lives were not affected much. In these years, the people of the Han tribe have experienced too many troubles and changes, they are all living people, and their broad horizons and changes in the current situation have not only exercised their physique, but also cultivated their self-confidence and judgment.

Anyway, there is an order that has been put on track in administration, law, security, and commerce, and as long as there are no major changes, it seems that the absence of the Great General and the Seventh General is not a big problem. Therefore, after Yang Yingqi stopped at Jinmen for a while, he came towards Liaokou. When he came to Liaokou, Yang Kaiyuan had been summoned by Ah Gu to Huanglong Mansion to discuss grain matters.

When Yang Yingqi came to Liaokou, the suspicious soldiers on the southern front had already been divided. If Xiao Tienu was arranged on the southern front this time, they would definitely be dissatisfied, but Zhi Yanchong and Cao Guangbi are both moderate figures, and they don't have much opinion on this arrangement that is beneficial to the overall situation.

Yang Yingqi confirmed the situation on the front line to the eldest brother and second brother and said, "This Yelu Yu is so powerful!" ”

Zhi Yanchong said lightly: "It's just the sunset afterglow of Da Liao." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "What does the eldest brother mean is that Yelu is not enough to worry about? ”

Zhi Yan said: "The trouble of Da Liao is not actually that there are no good generals, and even the rise of Dajin is not the first reason for its decline. The root cause of Da Liao's illness is the failure to repair the national government, which cannot be changed by one or two Yelu Yu Jian with their own talents. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "But he is always a scourge on the battlefield. ”

Zhi Yan said: "Whether it is a problem or not depends on who he is the enemy with." He hadn't won a battle before, so we all ignored him; This time, he made us suffer a great loss by surprise, but it also made many people, even the lord of the country, overestimate him! In fact, in my opinion, if it is a head-on confrontation, let alone the lord of the country, even Zong Han and others will be enough for him to bear. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "What if the eldest brother goes? ”

Orihiko smiled and said, "This won't happen. ”

Yang Yingqi asked: "What if it happens?" ”

Zhi Yan Chong looked at the east and pondered for a moment, and said: "If the lord of the country fully supports me, then I will fight with Dajin on my back, which is enough to sweep the world and not be defeated in a hundred battles!" Even if the lord of the country does not support me, having you preside over Liaonan is enough to solve my worries. Yelu Yu saw the instability in the rear, how can he be my opponent? ”

When the commanders of both sides are outstanding figures, it is often the national strength behind both sides that fights!

What Zhi Yanchong meant, Yang Yingqi understood: "Yelu Yujian is not the opponent of the eldest brother, and he is not the opponent of the lord of the country!" ”

Orihiko nodded and said, "This is natural." Although Yelu Yu is now on the rise, it is only to slow down our pace, and it will be difficult for him to turn the tide alone. His small victory this time is like a return to the light for Da Liao. If the disease of Daliao's internal affairs is not eradicated, he can resist us for one or two years, but he can't stop us for three or five years! Unless there is a subversive change in Da Liao, he will be defeated sooner or later! But he's lucky, we won't be sending troops again this year. ”

Yang Yingqi said curiously: "Why is this? ”

Orihiko sighed, "Don't you think it's hot? This year, for some reason, it suddenly got very hot! It's a scorching summer. The cattle and horses in the army, as well as Liu Jie's livestock in their pastures, are all feverish! Fortunately, the southern Liaoning side was well controlled, so the epidemic did not spread. However, the lord of the country has already announced the boycott of the army, and even the letter of state that made an agreement with the Great Song Dynasty to attack Daliao has been recovered and changed, and it is agreed to raise troops again next year. ”

Since Aguta took back diplomatic power with the Great Song, his attitude towards the Great Song has become tougher again. Aguda promised to return Yanjing to the Great Song Dynasty after destroying Liao, but asked for 300,000 yuan per year. The Great Song Dynasty was too composed, and the minister in charge only looked forward to "building an immortal achievement" as soon as possible, so he retreated step by step. Although Zhao Liang's heir Ma Zheng maneuvered many times, it was still agreed to be 100,000 taels of silver in the end, which was equivalent to the annual coin of the Lanyuan Alliance.

Yang Yingqi complained that the Song court was "incapable of handling things" after the Han Ministry had gained enough benefits, but Ah Guda had already kicked him and Zhi Yan out of this circle of diplomatic decision-making power, and the Song envoy did not trust the Han Ministry, so Yang Yingqi's influence on the diplomacy of the two countries was greatly weakened.

At this time, he heard that the attack had been postponed, and said, "That's fine." If the main force of our army is pinned down on the northern front by Yelu Yu with a partial division, the Great Song Dynasty rashly sends troops to respond, and I am afraid that I will not be able to please the main force of the Khitan. It seems that Yelu will see this stumbling block sooner or later. ”

Zhi Yanchong groaned: "The iron slave is good at impact fighting, and the characteristic of Yelu Yujian's use of soldiers seems to be that he doesn't fight hard battles if he is not sure, so he can't swallow the iron slave." And his strength has an advantage over the iron slave, so the iron slave can't win against him. According to my estimate, to kick off this stumbling block, either the lord of the country will personally go out to kill Ben Zhongjing, or he will first send Xianye or Zong Han to sweep the Linhuang Mansion with a partial division, and then crush the heart of the Great Liao army with a thunderous force. ”

At that time, there were only three of them in the house, and Yang Yingqi had no other scruples, and said: "I see the pace of the Jurchen, and it is extremely wild!" If their ambitions continue to expand so indefinitely, I am afraid that the alliance at sea will not be able to be secured! To put it mildly, if we keep this Yelu to see, do you think we can stop the pace of the lord of the country? ”

Zhi Yanchong closed his eyes, thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and said, "If there is no accident, I can't stop it." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "No matter how small the chance, there is no one? For example, what forces are helping him? After all, he did a beautiful job this time! When he said this, he actually implied that if the Han Department secretly supported this Liao general.

"He succeeded this time because we all underestimated him!" Zhi Yan said: "If you don't pay attention, it is good to hide, and this is something that Yelu Yu can use very well, so he can succeed." But he didn't have a second chance to do that, and now he's too compelling. After a pause, he said, "Besides, this Yelu Yujian has no connection with us, and it is difficult to establish real trust." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "In that case...... Big brother, anyway, this Yelu Yujian will have to be eliminated sooner or later, and this credit is better than giving it to the generals of the Wanyan Department...... It's up to us to do it. ”

"The lord won't let me make a move." Zhi Yanchong repeated what he had just said: "Ying Qi, can't you still see that the country master intends to dry me up?" ”

Yang Yingqi's heart was shocked, and Zhi Yan rushed: "When it comes to using soldiers, the older generation doesn't mention it, it's the younger generation, Zong Han, Zong Wang, and Zong Xiong are no worse than me!" The lord of the country is only rough and arrogant on the surface, but in fact, he should be very careful! Look at his means of appeasing the surrendered tribes! Therefore, the warriors of all ethnic groups and tribes under the rule of Dajin have been happy to use it in recent years. Now that the momentum of Shengliao has been achieved, the lord of the country will not affect the overall situation even if he is useless. ”

Yang Yingqi nodded and said: "I also feel this way, maybe for the lord of the country, in the future, it is best for our Han Department to be just a group of farmers who only care about hoes and swords and horses." ”

Cao Guangbi didn't speak all the time, and then suddenly said: "Ying Qi, there seems to be something wrong with the iron slave!" ”

"Second brother," Yang Yingqi said, "Did you hear anything?" ”

Cao Guangbi said: "The sixth child has been named Meng'an." The soldiers and horses lent to him by the third child did not come back, and they were all assigned to him. Although this is what the lord of the country meant, the sixth child didn't say anything about it, and the contact with us in the past few months has also been a little perfunctory, so I'm a little worried, I can't see through what he's thinking. ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Sixth brother is a smart person, he should know what kind of road is most beneficial to him!" ”

Cao Guangbi sneered: "He is naturally a smart person, but the situation will change people!" When circumstances change, people's aspirations and ideas will change! For him, loyalty to Hanbu is not the only option! ”

This sentence shocked Yang Yingqi even more than the previous words of Zhi Yanchong! He looked at Zhi Yan Chong, but heard Zhi Yan Chong say: "Second brother, what you said is serious. Liunu'er is not a person who lives in the twilight, I trust him! ”

Since Zhi Yanchong made such an assertion, Cao Guangbi didn't say anything anymore, and Yang Yingqi also said: "I also believe that the sixth brother will not be so short-sighted." But we still have to do something. ”

Cao Guangbi asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "As the second brother said, the change of people's hearts often lies in the circumstances. That being the case, let's start with his situation. In the general direction, we can't contradict the arrangement of the lord, but some small actions can still be done. If it is handled well, it may be possible to make the sixth brother understand that Jinmen is his biggest backing! ”

Cao Guangbi asked, "Do you intend to go to Linhuang Mansion?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Hmm." ”

Cao Guangbi said: "Linhuang Mansion is now a battlefield, it's very chaotic!" ”

Yang Yingqi said arrogantly: "What are you afraid of!" We have all come over the expedition of thousands of miles back then, are you still afraid of this? ”

Cao Guangbi said: "How is it the same! ”

Yang Yingqi said: "What's the difference? ”

Cao Guangbi smiled: "Your identity is different now. Back then, you were just a little hairy child, and no one cared about anything but a few of us if something happened. But now you are the deputy capital of southern Liaoning, the seventh general of the Han Dynasty! How many people are staring at you! ”

Zhi Yan Chong also said: "The higher a person's status, the more crises he has to deal with!" You better stop taking risks, just leave something to someone to do. ”

"Big brother, even you look down on me!" Yang Yingqi said: "I just went to Linhuang Mansion this time, although it is a battlefield, but there is a sixth brother!" Unafraid! ”

Orihiko said: "If you are escorted all the way by the iron slave, you don't have to worry, but I'm afraid that something will go wrong on your way." ”

Yang Yingqi said: "There are some risks to be taken, not to mention that this risk may not be very large. In any case, I must go to Linhuang Mansion to see, the sixth brother is alone over there, and I have a trip to the past, so I can talk about my heart and dispel the doubts between the brothers. ”

Cao Guangbi saw that Yang Yingqi insisted on leaving, and said, "That's it!" I'll send a squad to escort you! Also, you'd better take a detour and head south from Taizhou, north of Linhuang Province, which is much farther but much safer. ”

"Well, but before I go north, I have to go back to Jinmen again to arrange some things." Before parting, Yang Yingqi suddenly remembered something: "Second brother, why didn't you see Deng Zhihong this time?" Where did he go? ”

Cao Guangbi said with a smile: "The third child was summoned by the lord of the country to Huanglong Mansion to discuss grain matters, and Deng Su also followed. Speaking of him, I was about to thank you. ”

Yang Yingqi said curiously: "Thank me? ”

"Yes! Thank you for introducing me to a military staff officer. ”

Yang Yingqi's eyes flashed and said, "Military staff officer? Second brother, why don't you tell me about this first? ”

Cao Guangbi smiled: "This is my negligence. But the eldest brother knows about this matter. Deng Su is now joining the army here, and this time I went to Huanglong Mansion, but the eldest brother was afraid that the lord of the country would have some problems for the third child, and he couldn't deal with it alone, so he specially borrowed it from me. How? Any questions? ”

"Oh no, nothing." The look on Yang Yingqi's face was very light.
