Volume 1 Chapter 41 Eju vs. Yan Chi
Outside the Qiantang Gate, one rode the black horse first, and the two horses followed, and the city gate guard caught a glimpse of the general in leather armor holding a golden order on the black horse, and immediately did not dare to stop it, and saw the three horses galloping into the city gate, and then muttered: "It should be General E who has been ordered to return to the court." ”
It is indeed Eju to return to the dynasty, not only him, but even the eldest son Eyun and the second son Exiao were also ordered to return to the dynasty - because the emperor wants to give the title of viscount to the ministers, and it is not wartime at this time, such a great reward from heaven, the courtiers' family must return to the court, and the lord is grateful to the guests, but the famous General E, after seeing the emperor, his mood is cloudy.
As soon as he arrived home, he was angry at his wife Li: "The official family destroyed each other with a golden order, I thought there were 100,000 urgent military intelligence, so I rushed to Lin'an, what was the result?" In order to receive this piece of caramel candy? ”
"Don't hide it from the officials, some time ago, the concubine almost believed that the official family would sooner or later destroy each other with a golden order, and summoned the officials back to Dali Temple to be killed." Although Li said this, his face was calm: "Although the situation was once critical, it was about the heavens who also thanked me for my surname and the pure heart of serving the country loyally, the situation suddenly inexplicably changed, even so, the concubine should not send a letter to the army privately, not to mention that this will leave a handle for the lord and the faction, that is, the official knows that the official family is summoned by a golden order to give grace to the lord, and he must not obey the holy order, and the anger of the official family is finally calmed down, and it will rise because of suspicion, and the concubine is willing to live and die with the official is the same thing, But if you don't get to the point of death, of course you still have to survive. ”
Only then did Eju hear from his wife about the series of conditions offered by the Liao State.
Before the couple could say a few more private words, they heard that there was a guest invited to meet.
This uninvited guest is Yan Chi.
Eju was originally an ordinary person from a peasant family, worshipping a samurai as a teacher, but this samurai is not ordinary, it is both civil and military, originally a single-minded move, and also through the Ming Jing Department and the first, but because in the first emperor of the first dynasty, he strongly advocated the conquest of Liao, and was squeezed out and suppressed by the ministers, and his career was unsatisfactory, this person knew the crux of the problem but was unwilling to be flexible, so he simply resigned and wandered the rivers and lakes to live happily. Eju worshipped him as a teacher, not only received training in mounted archery, but also knew the art of war, and was not ignorant of scriptures and poetry.
Eju is different from the teacher, he didn't think about the official move at all, he took the road of joining the army at the beginning, and his military merits were laid step by step, he didn't understand the sleek and sophisticated routines in the officialdom at all, and he was deeply ashamed of this kind of mechanical drill camp, so he ...... Eju was not interested in Yan Chi at all.
If you refuse to see it, you don't hesitate to say it.
The steward who passed the news said: "Yan Langjun said that he had expected that the general would be closed, because the general did not dare to see him. ”
Eju sneered: "The method of agitating generals, but since it is used to excite generals, it means that he still knows that he is at the gate of military generals today, you tell him that if he can break into the door of my house today, then I will be with him for a while." ”
"The official, this is really making things difficult." Lee laughed.
Even the old servants of their family who guard the door are brave soldiers who have experienced nine deaths on the battlefield, although now, a body of disability can no longer kill the enemy in battle, but without the order of the master's family, they would rather die than let outsiders enter the house, and Yan did not dare to spread wild in front of the door of the Ejia family for no reason, and really used force against the old servant...... How can people break in?
"It is said that Yan saved the life of King Wei in the battle of Huazhou for no reason, but no one knows the details, if he really knows how to fight, of course I am willing to make friends with him, but if it is just in vain, relying on the means of flattering the lord, he will never want to enter the door of my family." Eju Road.
It didn't take long for the eldest son E Yun to enter this time: "Dad, Yan Saburo said that he knew that Xiangyang City was in danger, if Dad didn't see him, I'm afraid the six counties of Xiangyang would be difficult to protect!" ”
"Bu Zhi? When he said that, you believed it? Eju frowned.
"Yan Saburo pinched his fingers and counted to know which day we set off from Xiangyang, and also calculated that we encountered a thunderstorm when we passed through Fuchun before entering the Qiantang Gate, and the house with a mast tree in front of the door sheltered from the showers." E Yun was convinced, obviously fooled by Yan Chi's "magic calculation".
Eju also felt a little strange.
"Yan Saburo has the trust of the official family and knows when the golden order will be issued, but in order to calculate when the golden order will arrive in Xiangyang, he must be familiar with the path of the imperial horse rush, and from this point of view, he at least knows geography." Li tried to analyze: "If there are people watching along the way, how can the officials not be aware? It shows that Yan Saburo did not send someone to follow the official in advance, even if he knew that the official arrived in Lin'an Mansion today, how could he know that the official did not deliberately delay on the road? Therefore, Yan Saburo can predict the time when the officials will set off from Xiangyang, the premise is that the concubine has not written to the officials, and the officials have summoned the officials to come to Lin'an for the sake of grace. This Yan Saburo not only understands geography but also understands people's hearts. ”
Raise your jaw head.
Li continued: "Yan Saburo did not send people to keep an eye on him, how do he know that the officials encountered heavy rain when they passed through Fuchun, but Yan Lang people are in Lin'an, it is not difficult to infer that there is rain in Fu'an today by observing the celestial phenomena, and although there is no rain in Lin'an City today, there was a period of strong winds, since Yan Saburo concluded that the officials did not dare to delay along the way, he could deduce that when the officials left Xiangyang and the time of the journey, the officials happened to pass through Fuchun. ”
"Then how can he explain that there is a gardenia tree in front of my shelter from the rain?" Eju asked.
"This concubine body is incomprehensible, but the concubine body can also be deduced, and the official must be willing to let Yan Lang enter and see it." Lee laughed.
"Yan Saburo, who knows geography, understands people's hearts, and can observe astronomy, he has proven that he is not a wasted name, of course I will meet such a young man." Eju motioned to his eldest son: "You greet you with Erlang and Sanlang." ”
Eju has never taken a concubine, but Li is already his second wife, his wife is the biological mother of Eyun and Exiao, because she can't bear the loneliness and remarries, Eju later married Li, and has a son and a daughter, the daughter Eni is the eldest and the youngest son Elin is two years old, and this year and Lu, but in the cardamom years, he can actually go on the field to kill the enemy, not to mention the fifty stone bow of the youngest son Elin, at least dozens of Liao soldiers have been killed.
The three young generals who made the Liao soldiers frightened greeted Yan Chi together, and Yan Langjun's pomp was really big.
Li did not shy away from it.
She was very curious about Yan Chi, and she wanted to know the result of the confrontation between such a young man and her husband who had been through a hundred battles, yes, Mrs. Li didn't think that the three sons welcoming Yan Chi into the house must mean that it was a courtesy and a solemn treat, and her general Hu had always had this attitude towards the enemy.
Rivals should also be treated.
Not only Mrs. Li, but even Eni, who came after hearing the news, also took advantage of the cover of the pillars to quietly look at the rare guests who were welcomed by the three sons of the Ejia family.
Feel a glimpse like a breeze.
Erni was a little surprised, because she wanted to hide, and no one but her father could detect her peeping.
Since the hiding has been revealed, he simply appeared generously, but it didn't attract much attention.
E Ni felt that Yan Wudu was an extremely arrogant person, and she thought that this conversation between her father and Yan Lang might collapse.
My father is not a Confucian student, but when he has not touched the bottom rule, his temper is quite mild, and the bottom rule that my father insists on is the common people. But this Yan Saburo gave E Ni a feeling that he was full of yin and evil because of the poisonous swamp, his arrogance was not the arrogance under the sun, but like a cold and highly poisonous murderous knife, his arrogance could kill.
If it was on the battlefield, if Yan Saburo was the enemy, E Ni felt that he had no chance of winning.
She was a little worried about her father.
Mrs. Li felt that this posterior was unexpectedly handsome, and there was a kind of sharpness, if he swung in front of the enemy on the battlefield, he might be able to have a miraculous effect of intimidating the enemy of 3,000 without revealing it, which was very suitable for being a son-in-law of the general.
But General E's opening of his mouth was: "Vertical son, the danger of confusing the generals, is only trying to selfish desires, do you know that such a despicable act can actually be unforgivable!" ”
Yan Chi just smiled slightly.
No one asked him to sit down, but he sat down: "Duke E, please forgive me, Yan has an old illness, and his legs and feet are really inconvenient, so I sat down first." ”
Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows, feeling as if she was getting more and more late.
There are few young people of this age who can stand the head of General E, and this courage and arrogance do not follow Rong but enter the power field...... It doesn't seem like a pity.
It is...... Alas, her husband would never agree to marry someone in the power field.
I heard Yan Chi say again: "Duke E, Xiangyang is in danger and it is indeed Yan who made something out of nothing, but this plan is also commonly used in the military field, if Duke E does not know through Yan's plan, and does not agree with Yan's plan, the three Linglang of Duke E, I am afraid that they are carrying a broom to greet Yan." ”
Mrs. Li: A very cunning young man, he is a pillar of the country, but if he is evil...... Maybe it will bring disaster to the country and the people.
"Although making something out of nothing is a shopping language, but it can't be made out of thin air, the reason why I don't have a broom and refuse customers is nothing more than to hear how Yan Lang 'makes something'."
Yan Chi smiled slightly: "If the six counties of Xiangyang do not have the Duke of E, it will be difficult to protect, and if the Duke of Eyang is unable to escape again, how can it be the loss of the six counties of Xiangyang?" I'm afraid that south of the Huai River will become the territory of Liao. ”
"But now I am not only alive, but I am also honored as the Duke of Xiangyang."
"Gong E thinks that this time the danger is turned into a disaster, and the danger really does not exist?"
"Although the official family is suspicious, it will not change the order overnight."
"In this way, Duke E actually understands the root cause, the official family just needs Duke E to show the attitude of a courtier, but why is Duke E unwilling?"
"Yan Lang came today to persuade me to give up the main battle."
"This time the official family rejected the Liao Chen, what is the reason, I believe that the Duke of E also knows it, but the Liao Emperor is not a fool, when the Liao envoy returns to China to detail the negotiation experience, even if the Liao Emperor can't react for a while, as long as the court is discussed, there will naturally be Liao Chen to understand what went wrong, as long as the Liao Emperor changes the covenant and no longer mentions the return of the emperor and grandson to the guard, the official family will inevitably continue the peace talks, if the Duke of Hu is still the main battle, will the official family blame the Duke of Hu for not knowing what to do?"
"Even if E dies, he will not give up his ambition to revive David." He frowned but made a loud noise.
"Duke E thinks that as long as the official family allows war, Duke E will definitely be able to recover Kaifeng and even destroy the Liao State?"
"Don't fight at this time, wait for the Liao State to recover its national strength and recuperate......"
"So Gong E wants to break the kettle and make a desperate bet?"
"Of course I have a chance to win!"
"Duke E is also too confident, so let's do it, Yan can talk to Duke E secretly, Yan promises that it will be easy to break Duke E's tactical military formation, if Yan is a Liao minister, the guarantee Duke E will definitely be defeated, and David Jiangshan will be wiped out immediately."
Mrs. Li was already stunned when she heard this, to be honest, he didn't believe that Yan Chi could have a way to break the formation.
"All tactics are not unbreakable, can Duke E dare to have a paper battle with Yan?"
Yan Chi is confident.
