The twilight is vast, and the distant mountains are smoky.

Yang Lin's guard of honor traveled all the way west, and finally completed the loess road of Qinlong in the lingering autumn rain.

This place is Yanmen, an important town in the northwest, where Han Shizhong stationed troops, and out of Yanmen is the capital of Khitan Yingzhou.

Next to Yingzhou Mansion is the Xijing Datong Mansion of the Khitan, that is, Yunzhou ceded by Shi Jingjiao.

There was the Khitan emperor who fled to the country, Yelu Yanxi.

Outside the Yanmen, the carriage and horse slowly stopped, and a general ran in the distance, with a burly figure, a long torso, wearing armor, and a long smile: "The last general, Han Shizhong, has seen Shaozai!" ”

Yang Lin lifted the curtain, stepped down from his footsteps, punched him and said, "Splash Han Wu, have you been gambling indiscriminately recently?" ”

Han Shizhong's head shook like a rattle, and he patted his chest and said, "No! Absolutely not, the last general is not a person who does not know what to do. ”

Behind him, Hu Yantong sneered and pouted his lips and glanced at him several times.

Yang Lin was furious, rolled up his sleeves and scolded: "Damn, I knew that dogs couldn't change their shit, come on, catch this splashy hands, I will personally gelding him and send him to the palace to serve the official." ”

Han Shizhong hurriedly dodged, begging for mercy while fleeing, and finally said urgently: "Shaozai, I have heard that you personally gambled in Jingzhao Mansion, and if you win, you went to report to the official." Is this really only a young man who is allowed to set fires, and I am not allowed to light the lamp? ”

Everyone laughed, and surrounded Yang Lin into the city together, it was rare to have a civil official who did not hold a shelf, or such a big official, and mingled with the generals, and the guards of Yanmen were very happy.

Xiongguan is close to the mountain and dangerous, and it is high on the mountain. On the east and west wings, the mountains are undulating. The Great Wall of the mountain ridge, its potential is meandering, and it goes east to Pingxingguan, Bauhinia Pass, and Baoma Pass, and reaches Youyan and connects Hanhai; Go west to Xuangangkou, Ningwu Pass, Yatou Pass, to the Yellow River.

Therefore, there is a saying that "there are nine stops in the world, and Yanmen is the head".

Yanmen Pass is adjacent to Longling in the east, Yanmen Mountain, Longshan in the west, the two mountains confront each other, the shape is like a noisy door, the wild geese fly in the middle every year, so it is called Yanmen.

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, King Wuling of Zhao placed Yanmen County here, and the Tang Dynasty placed the pass, which was called the West Hydrocarbon Pass, also known as the Yanmen Pass.

Han Shizhong set up a banquet for Yang Lin and others to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and after arriving at the residence, Yang Lin smiled and said that he had brought a few family members and needed a place to resettle.

Han Shizhong snickered and said continuously: "The last general understands." ”

But I saw a soft hum from the sedan car, and the six maids who were close to Huanxiang lifted the curtain and put down the wooden pestle that stepped on their feet.

These six maids are all brought by Zhehuanxiang from her mother's house, and their names all have a bead character, treasure beads, pearls, flower beads, lotus beads, stamen beads, and painting beads.

One by one, it is difficult to describe and paint, the posture is pretty, the figure is slender, pure and lovely.

A slender jade hand stretched out, and all the women stepped forward to help, Zhehuanxiang put on a snow-white silk robe, the foxy melon seed face was like white jade, and the watery beautiful eyes were full of charm and grace.

She didn't mean to be coquettish, but she was born with a foxy face, even if she was angry, she seemed to seduce people.

This woman has the grace of a man, and as soon as she is emotional, she is like a thunderbolt that stirs the earth's fire, and when she arrives near Jingzhao Mansion, this female child just doesn't get out of the car and goes home, and she wants to follow Yang Lin to Yanmen, which is completely open.

She had long since abandoned the previous rules and regulations, didn't pay attention to anything, and only looked at Yang Lin with a pair of tender eyes.

Yang Lin stepped forward and whispered a soft order, folded Huanxiang's lips, rolled his eyes and looked at him, unspeakably complaining.

Yang Lin pinched his waist and said with a smile: "Obedient, go." ”

"Then you come back early." The voice is tactful and good, and it is very charming.

The guards of the Banzai battalion led them into their quarters.

As soon as this Mrs. Yao appeared, everyone was stunned by the fascination, but Han Shizhong was very calm, coughed lightly and said, "Shaozai, the banquet is not here, please come here." ”

---

Outside, a group of generals had already taken their seats, and Han Shizhong was sneaky and took Yang Lin to the inner room.

The generals had to wait with their necks craned, not knowing what they were going to do when they went in.

Yang Lin scolded: "Po Han Wu, Lao Tzu came all the way, and he didn't eat a few bites of food, you have something important to say, you have to say it at this time." ”

Han Shizhong's old face flushed, walked to a bookshelf, and pushed the heavy bookcase forward, the front of the bookcase turned out to be a track, the bookcase slid away silently, and the ground was full of green bricks, and one of them had a small hole on the side, the edge was irregular, and it looked like a mouse knocked.

Han Shizhong stretched out his hand to grab the small hole and lifted it up, it turned out that the green bricks were actually a lid glued together, as soon as they were lifted, a small box was revealed below, Liu Xiahua took the box to the table and put it down, opened it, and there was a thick stack of papers inside, which was very neatly separated by bookmarks.

"These... It's all Song Jiang, and the black guy gave it to me. I Han Wu is not such a person, but Song Jiang is my superior, I must listen to what he says, and hand these over to Shaozai. ”

Yang Lin stretched out his head and saw a volume of silk silk, neatly arranged there.

These silk silks are classified and sorted out according to their surnames. Some are thicker, some are thinner, look at the material, some are cowhide rolls, some are silk silk, you know that the collection of these materials is done by different people.

Folding, planting, Yang, Yao, Qiang...

What mess? Yang Lin opened it and looked at it, and was immediately startled, so many things turned out to be black materials from the Northwest General's Gate.

It records the things that the Northwest Jiangmen family did that violated the laws of the Great Song Dynasty one by one, and it is very clear and understandable, and they all have time and place.

Yang Lin gritted his teeth and smiled, and said, "This black guy is really a talent." Lao Tzu got him to the northwest for a year, and he had such a harvest..."

After accepting these "gifts" from Song Jiang as ordered, Yang Lin and Han Shizhong came out together, and the generals began to raise their glasses and toast.

Han Shizhong sat in front of the small table on Yang Lin's left, and Lu Qian on his right, after eating less than two bites, Han Shizhong couldn't wait to ask: "Shaozai is here, the imperial court has entrusted such a heavy task, let Shaozai Xuanfu Shaanxi, Hedong, Hebei, Yanshan, and command the northwest soldiers and horses, what is the plan?" ”

Yang Lin scolded with a smile: "You are a talent, you ask knowingly, who doesn't know that this official is here just for the sake of Youyun's homeland." ”

There was an uproar, and the generals began to exchange heads and ears during the banquet, and their faces were shining with a special look.

The homeland of Youyun, the old city of Yandi, this is not comparable to ordinary merits.

"The reason why this official didn't go anywhere and came to Yanmen first was to form an alliance with the Khitan, and he would go to Yunzhou in person in the near future to meet the Liao lord."

Han Shizhong waved his hand and said: "What is the identity of Shaozai, how can you go in person, it is better for the last general to go on your behalf." ”

"It's okay, if you don't want to go, I can only do such a big thing. The task of you people is to fight a war, and this official will properly handle all the extraneous matters that affect the situation of the war, and you don't have to worry about it.

But I said the ugly thing in the front, just when the drums of war beat and the swords and soldiers meet, if you can't win the war, don't blame the officials for being ruthless. ”
