1006 Withdrawal

Han Yanxuan finally gave up the room to Yeluyue, but after turning around and leaving, Yeluyue did not move over, so that the attic was empty for a night in the end.

Of course, Liu Keshi would never have thought that such a small matter would be such a result in the end, let alone that when Han Yanxuan and the others moved out, just when he was about to go to the room where Ye Luyue was to invite him to the attic, the room with air leaks was actually extinguished in the first place.

Yelu Yixue, who was standing at the door dutifully guarding Yelu Yue, shook his head at Liu Keshi, who was a little dazed: Your Highness is tired, let Your Highness rest early.

In the early morning of the second day, Liu Keshi still followed the attitude of first Yeluyue and then Han Yanxuan, and gave the food that he could get his hands on as soon as possible, and ordered him to take it in, and then ordered others to send Han Yanxu's food over.

Last night, before Liu Keshi was about to rest, Yelu Yixue's room was guarded by Yelu Yixue, and in the morning, just like these days, it was still Yelu Yixue and other soldiers of the Liao State who had not slept all night, guarding the room around.

The two of them took the rest of the meal and ate it in a room next to it, Yelu Yixue looked up at Liu Keshi from time to time, and then ate with his head bored.

"If you have anything, you just ask, don't look at me thoughtfully and bow your head like this, make me panic, okay?" Liu Keshi simply put down his chopsticks and said after taking a sip of steaming porridge.

"Han Yanxuan ......." Yelu Yixue put down his chopsticks, swallowed the last bite of food, and said: "Han Yanxuan is the current left minister of the Great Song Dynasty, you did not hesitate to offend him for His Royal Highness last night, and finally made this good pavilion empty for a night, don't you feel a little disappointed in your heart?" ”

"What if you don't offend?" Liu Keshi drank the hot porridge unhurriedly, and the whole person became warm and very comfortable, and said: "Even if there was no dispute last night, Lord Han would not look at me differently, not to mention that each is his master, and I should be the right one to be sent to me by Lord Ye." ”

"From Pingliang Town to Jingzhao Mansion, it will take three or five days to say the least, look at the meaning of last night, Han Yanxuan is planning to go with us, what are you going to do?" Yelu Yixue nodded in agreement with Liu Keshi's words and asked.

Along the way, Yelu Yixue naturally saw and remembered Liu Keshi's various actions, and was also surprised by Liu Keshi's loyalty to Ye Qing, especially the care of Yeluyue along the way, and did not treat them and others differently as people in distress, and even many times, they gave Yelu Yixue and others a sense that the Liao State did not die, this time it was just an illusion that they followed Princess Chengli to the Song Court.

is also loyal to his own backbone, Yelu Yixue watched Liu Keshi take care of them all the way, and the loyalty he showed made him feel a little more close to Liu Keshi.

"What else can I do?" Liu Keshi sighed and said: "Even if there is no incident last night, Lord Han went to Jingzhao Mansion, not to turn the war with Lord Ye into a jade silk, choosing to go to Jingzhao Mansion at this time, even a blind person can see clearly, their purpose is nothing more than to want to fight for power and profit in the Northland, and they don't want Lord Ye to dominate the family in the Northland." It's just that...... Now that Princess Chengli has revealed her identity, I just don't know if people will use this matter to attack Lord Ye. ”

Yelu Yixue nodded silently, now the Song and Liao are no longer as incompatible and deep as the sea in the past, with the Liao State favoring the Western Regions, after the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, there was no substantive intersection between the two countries.

If it weren't for Ye Qing's appearance, which made the Liao State and the Song Court have a connection again, I am afraid that the Song Court would still be confused and unaware of the collapse of the Liao State at this time.

"This has always been the concern of His Royal Highness, and now that we are waiting for Lord Ye, I'm afraid ...... It is necessary to cause unnecessary trouble to Lord Ye, even if the grievances between the two countries have long faded with time, but now after all, your country is strong, and my Daliao has ....... Yelu Yixue looked up at Liu Keshi, who was listening carefully to what he was saying, and after a pause, he said, "So early this morning, His Royal Highness Chengli meant...... Can you not walk with Han Yanxuan all the way? ”

"I'm afraid it's going to be difficult, I'll send someone over to try it in a while, and it would be great if it was feasible." Liu Keshi immediately replied without thinking, obviously this question, he also thought about it last night, and after thinking about it, he continued: "If it is really impossible to avoid it, then it will trouble you and your subordinates, from today onwards, you will protect Princess Chengli, as for our people, echoing back and forth, try not to give Lord Han a chance to get close to Princess Chengli, how about it?" ”

Yelu Yixue thought about it for a while, he also knew that if he could only walk together, what Liu Keshi said was already the most appropriate way, Liu Keshi was a courtier of the Song Dynasty after all, even if it was because Ye Qing was so clear from Han Yanxuan, but Han Yanxuan was the left minister of the Great Song Dynasty after all, and it was not that he Liu Keshi could refuse if he wanted to refuse anything.

And once along the way, if Liu Keshi was caught by Han Yanxuan again, then after arriving at Jingzhao Mansion, wouldn't he give Han Yanxuan another reason to attack Ye Qing?

There is only so much Yelu Yixue can think of, and in Liu Keshi's careful thoughts, now he must be tough in front of Han Yanxuan in some things, but he can't be tough in everything, and he doesn't take people as the left minister in his eyes.

So for him Liu Keshi, the most difficult thing on this journey is to be in the face of Han Yanxuan's various requirements

Hold it, how to do it just right, remember not to offend Han Yanxuan again, give him a chance to grab the pigtails, and not weaken Ye Qing's prestige in the Northland.

In this way, in the matter of escorting Yeluyue and others, Liu Keshi obviously can no longer take on this big responsibility, after all, once Han Yanxuan wants to talk to Yeluyue on a whim, Liu Keshi, Song Chen, is not very easy to be a person in the middle, so it is better to hand it over to Yelu Yixue directly, after all, he is a Liao person, and he has more excuses than him.

Liu Keshi and Yelu Yixue here discussed all kinds of troubles they would encounter on the way if they walked all the way, and Han Yanxuan, who had eaten over there, slowly put on his fur coat, and the longer he stayed in the position of the left minister, the more powerful he became, and his height was originally higher than ordinary people, even if he plunged into a pile of completely strangers, he would give people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

The prestige between the gestures that the superior has cultivated over the years is also a kind of knowledge, and there are many officials with small official qualities and great shelves, but on the contrary, the higher the official position, the more there is no shelf, and even gives people a sense of amiability, there are also many people. But this kind of official with a very high official position and the momentum of not being angry and arrogant is rare.

Shi Miyuan threw into the crowd, at most he was a pot-bellied, sinister and cunning, money-hungry rich businessman, and if Han Yanxuan was thrown into the crowd, he would still become the object of people's fear.

Wu Lie looked at the tall and majestic back of Han Yanxuan, he was in awe of Han Yanxuan at this moment, just like Liu Keshi's awe of Ye Qing in his heart, it was the kind of momentum that made them feel awe from the bottom of their bones.

"My lord, after you moved out last night, the princess of the dead country did not move into the attic, but rested all night in the little house that leaked everywhere. Early this morning, Liu Keshi took the lead in delivering food, and then ....... As soon as Wu Lie remembered Liu Keshi's villainous face last night, he couldn't help but want to touch the knife on his waist.

"It seems that this princess of the dead country is a smart person, and she knows the saying that a phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken." Han Yanxuan faced the cold wind outside the window, and didn't pay attention to Wu Lie's complaint that Liu Keshi gave priority to Yeluyue in food, but asked lightly: "Have you asked when they will leave?" ”

"Back to my lord, just now Liu Keshi sent someone over to say that Yeluyue was infected with a cold and planned to rest for a few days before leaving, which would inevitably delay your adult's trip, so please ...... your lordship." Wu Lie looked at Han Yanxuan's back and said.

"Then tell them that my Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, so it is not the hospitality of my Great Song Dynasty, since Princess Chengli is sick, then this official will wait for her to recover and then rush to Jingzhao Mansion together." There was a sneer on the corner of Han Yanxuan's mouth, he was actually very curious in his heart, what did Ye Qing mean by protecting a princess of a dead country like this: could it be this princess of the Liao Kingdom who wanted to use Ye Qing's power in the north to help him restore the country?

Moreover, whether the Liao State has really died completely, now it seems that in addition to Ye Qing, only the Mongols and the Liao people know, so this is true or false, and he also wants to poke out some clues from Ye Luyue's mouth.

If once she can find out that Ye Luyue defects to Ye Qing, she wants Ye Qing to help her return to the country, then in this way, won't the chance of her hand reaching into the northern land greatly increase? Even when the time comes, you can reach a condition with Ye Qing in this way, that is, to fully support Ye Qing to help Yeluyue restore the country, so that as long as Ye Qing's focus shifts from the north to helping the Liao country recover, the officialdom and other things in the north will not have time to slowly figure it out.

Liu Keshi obviously didn't expect that his resignation would be countered by Han Yanxuan, he had been delayed in Xiping Mansion for several days, and since he set off, because of Ye Luyue and others, the speed of this journey was not fast, and now it was almost ten days later than the time when Ye Qing asked him to return to Jingzhao Mansion.

If he delays in Pingliang Town for two days because of this excuse, maybe Ye Luyue and Han Yanxuan will have to wait, but he Liu Keshi can't afford to wait, not to mention that Zhao Shikui has already arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, and now Jingzhao Mansion is almost the Jingzhao Mansion of the clan, if he doesn't hurry back, who knows if these royal clans will make something behind Lord Ye's back.

After running back and forth several times in a hurry, discussing with Yelu Yixue, and then going in and out of Yeluyue's room a few times in and out of the room where Yeluyue lived, Liu Keshi told Wu Lie again that the princess of Liaoguo felt better and wanted to arrive at Jingzhao Mansion as soon as possible to see Lord Ye.

Such news naturally came to Han Yanxuan's ears from Wu Lie's eventually, which led Han Yanxuan to believe even more that the purpose of the princess of Liaoguo to rush to Jingzhao Mansion as soon as possible despite her illness and cold was to ask Ye Qing to help her return to the country.

When it was almost noon, thousands of people in Pingliang Town began to set off for Guguan in a mighty way, Yeluyue's wide and luxurious carriage was to make Wu Hunt look at the carriage of the princess of the Liao Kingdom, and the Liao soldiers who were able to control the war horses under their crotches freely, Wu Hunt couldn't help but feel envious.

Han Yanxuan just glanced at the luxurious carriage that Liu Keshi had prepared for Ye Luyue before getting into the carriage, and then raised his legs to get into the carriage that immediately looked a little shabby and narrow, and said lightly that the carriage that followed them was.

From Guguan to Longcheng, they have to go through six checkpoints, and they will also rest in different customs camps along the way, so Han Yanxuan is not in a hurry to talk to Ye Luyue now, after all, he has time on the way.

Here Liu Keshi and others began to enter Guguan,

And Ye Qing has also returned to the Song court camp from the gold camp, and all the soldiers who are waiting for him, one by one, look at him with eyes full of hope for the war to stop, obviously, it is just a short day, and the matter of peace has now been flying and dancing in the sky of the entire camp, I am afraid that even the ants hibernating under the ground have already known that the Song and Jin countries will end the war for half a year.

In one night, in addition to seeing Wu Juan and others, Ye Qing also saw other more grassroots soldiers, some generals who were really fighting on the front line, in the past half a year, he had almost never seen Ye Qing's face, it can be said that he really only heard his name but did not see him.

After a reassurance and conversation, the sky also unconsciously lit up again, with the first retreat on the side of the Zhuangding camp, although there was a lot of commotion in the real barracks at the beginning, but fortunately, Ye Qing's overnight pacification of many soldiers last night finally played a role at this moment.

The short-term commotion was pacified by the soldiers and military judges at the first time, so that the entire Song army camp still seemed orderly and the morale of the army was extremely stable in the eyes of outsiders.

The beggar stone martyrs on the other side followed Wan Yan Jing, looking at the Song army camp that was still orderly early in the morning, and looking at the shadows of those vague soldiers, each performing their duties and carrying out their own dispatch as usual, Mo sighed silently in his heart.

Although peace has been negotiated, Wan Yanjing never wants to give up, and then it is possible that the short chaos of the Song army camp before the start of the withdrawal will lead to another battle to cross the river, after all, although the peace talks have been decided, it does not mean that the agreement cannot be violated immediately.

What's more, this trick was not less used by Ye Qing on their Jin Kingdom, and this time if Wan Yan Jing seized the opportunity to implement it on Ye Qing once, it would be just a courtesy.

It's just that now, as the people who made the Jin people extremely resentful at the beginning began to retreat, forming black lines in the distance on the edge of the sky, the Song army camp did not appear in the chaos they wanted, but as if they didn't see the retreating crowd behind them, they were at the forefront of the war as always, sending them to do their duty, and not giving the Jin soldiers led by Yan Jing any opportunity to take advantage of.

With a short and slight loud noise, after the sun rose, it sounded on the side of the Song army's camp without warning, and then when bursts of smoke and flames rose up, Wan Yanjing finally gave up the plan to cross the river again while the Song army was the first to retreat.

Under the leadership of Xu Han and Wu Ju, the 3,000 battalions slowly lowered their arrogant "heads" in each bed crossbow and catapult, and after they were scattered all over the place, they immediately joined the flower planting army and other infantry troops to fill the defensive vacancy left by the bed crossbow and catapult.

The orderly change of guard also did not leave any chance for the Jin people on the opposite side, and as the Jin people of the 3,000 battalions who were looking at the opposite bank in a deterrent manner, after igniting several less powerful gunpowders, the expressions of the Jin soldiers over there, including some civilian officials, immediately became heavy.

"Such an orderly retreat...... Ye Qing is really cunning, it's just too hateful! Jiagu Qing angrily spat at the surface of the Yellow River, and then the sudden explosion on the opposite side, the shocked Jiagu Qing's heart trembled, and he hurriedly retreated dozens of steps, afraid of being affected by the loud noise, after all, the more powerful picture last night still clearly remained in his mind.

Of course, more importantly, under the gesture of the begging Shilie gods and slaves to Wan Yan Jing and the others, they finally discovered that the mound that stood behind the Song army's camp had become a little different from before last night, as if it had become shorter and more bare and tattered.

As the party that took the initiative to negotiate peace, since it wanted to negotiate peace, it was bound to show the sincerity of peace talks, and after the Song army could not let the Song army surrender the three places in the Hetao, the conditions for completing Yan Jing became simpler and simpler, and the simplicity was naturally treacherous and insidious, that is, it showed that the Song army would take the lead in withdrawing the army, and then they would withdraw their troops.

Naturally, Ye Qing would not really withdraw the army without caring about anything, and generously gave his back and unguarded light to the Jin people, so what the 3,000 battalions, the flower planting army and the infantry army camp are doing now is to deter the Jin people and protect them when they retreat.

No one could see clearly how those places that made loud noises and emitted black smoke from time to time were ignited, and even now they Jin people had a lot of firearms, but compared to the firearms in the hands of the Song people, it was like comparing fireflies to Haoyue.

Ye Qing's mind became tense from the beginning, even including Wu Juan and others, from the first moment when the catapult and bed crossbow were disassembled, they had been paying close attention to the movements of the Jin man, and even Ye Heng walked to Ye Qing's side, and after standing for a while, Ye Qing did not notice his arrival.

As Ye Qing finally looked at Yan Jing and led everyone towards their royal tent, Ye Qing breathed a heavy sigh of relief at this time, and looked back at Ye Heng with some surprise, with an unbelievable expression.

Looking at Ye Qing, who was obviously startled by himself standing beside him, Ye Heng had a relaxed smile and confusion on his face, and asked in disbelief: "I'm really curious, how did you convince Yan Jing?" Could it really be based on the actions of the 3,000 battalions last night? ”

"In the next few years, the Northland should be able to live a slightly more stable life, and there is no need to worry about the coming of war." Ye Qing did not answer Ye Heng's words, but gave him a more ambiguous answer.
