The soldiers went into the stove room, and when they couldn't find a place to hide, they hid behind a few bundles of firewood.

It didn't take long to hear the door outside "banging ......" and then someone came in, and the sound of incomprehensible chattering came over. The lady's voice said, "We are ordinary people. Then she heard the woman scream, and she knew what had happened.

When the soldiers behind Chai He heard the voice of the Khitans, their hearts hung in the air, and they didn't dare to move.

In a short time the door of the stove was slammed open, and the woman was pushed in. Only one Khitan man followed, and he heard a lewd laugh of "hehe", and he couldn't understand a few words.

The man who was hiding in the firewood quietly looked at the situation in the room, and saw that the woman wanted to run out of the door, but was grabbed by the arm by the Khitan. The Khitan opened his mouth full of yellow teeth, laughed loudly, and took the woman in his arms. The woman struggled desperately, and the two were entangled, and it was difficult for the woman to succeed even if she resisted.

The Khitan was annoyed, and swung his fist, knocking the woman to the ground with a "bang", beating her to the ground with a blue nose and swollen face, and then raised her foot and kicked her in the abdomen. After punching and kicking, the woman gradually became unable to resist.

The man in the firewood glanced at the door, watched the woman being bullied, and hesitated for a while. This unknown lady has a life-saving grace for him, if she hadn't opened the door and let him into the house, he would have been killed by the enemy soldiers by now!

I saw that the lady's mouth was full of blood, and she was very miserable. The man finally couldn't bear it anymore, and his eyes saw the burning stick by the stove, and carefully moved his body out of the firewood. Saying that it was too late, he rushed over and grabbed the burning stick, and the Khitan raised his head in surprise.

Without saying a word, the soldier waved his stick with both hands and swept it over, hitting the Khitan man on the head with a "bang", and the man was swept away violently and fainted with a scream.

The man hurriedly pulled the woman behind him, and then searched the Khitan soldier, who came in without weapons. The woman hurriedly said, "There are still people outside, they will kill you......"

As soon as the words fell, the door was opened, and two Khitan soldiers rushed in, wah-wah, wah The spear suddenly stabbed into the man's abdomen, and he took two steps backwards and was blocked by the stove. A moment later, another Khitan soldier swung an iron sword and stabbed him in the chest, "Ah......" The man let out a frightened scream, and grabbed a stabbing iron sword unarmed, and his palm was immediately cut, and blood flowed. Ignoring the pain, he grabbed the hilt of the enemy's sword with both hands.

But the Khitan soldiers screamed and pressed down desperately, and the iron sword slowly pierced into the man's heart. His eyes widened, his strength faded, and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.

Seeing this, another Khitan pressed the woman against the stove with red eyes. The woman was too frightened to speak, and she lay on the stove shivering, watching the dead soldier stare at her with godless eyes. With a "bang", she felt a chill behind her, and a large piece of her clothes was torn. And tears rolled out of the woman's eyes.

…… In the dilapidated village outside Yizhou, a group of old and young people stood at the entrance of the village, chickens and dogs jumped in the village, and the barking of the local dogs ......was noisy. Some Khitan soldiers rummaged through the village, while others came out of the village carrying sacks of grain, and the horses on the road were full of things.

An old farmer with a wrinkled face watched the men carry the grain from his house, took half a step forward with a slight tremble, and stood where he was again. His eyes were full of pain.

The peasant woman next to her knelt on the ground, and finally cried loudly: "All the food that my family wants to spend a year has been robbed, how can I live, God!" ”

The old farmer was silent, but his rough and black hands like an old tree witnessed the difficulty of growing grain, shaving in the field like cows and horses, and having to look at God's face to harvest something. After a year of busy work, I'm afraid everyone can only go out to beg for money.

Then a ploughing ox from the village was also brought out. The farmers were all sad and angry, but no one dared to step forward to stop them, and there were several corpses hanging from the trees not far away for people to watch.

…… The horsemen galloped on the main road, as if entering a no-man's land.

On horseback, a young Khitan man with an angular face reined in his horse and looked coldly at the smoke rising from the city in the distance. He twisted his head hard, and his neck made a soft "click".

This person is Brother Yelu Xiu, and he snorted: "Xiao Siwen is a mother-in-law and mother-in-law, who doesn't know how to use soldiers, watch Ben Shuai teach him how to govern the south." ”

Yang Gon, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, said: "This time, we are using it without authorization, and we have not reported to Beijing...... The Great Khan may not be to blame, but he is afraid of treacherous slander. ”

Brother Yelu sneered: "The traitor is Xiao Siwen? He went to the post of king of the Southern Courtyard, I am afraid that it is indeed not happy. But how can you attack Ben Shuai? This time, Yizhou was broken in one fell swoop, and the harvest was very rich. Is it wrong for a shepherd to go up and harvest the wool when the wool of a flock of sheep grows on the grassland? ”

The surrounding generals echoed one after another, and this time they made a lot of money, and everyone supported Yelu Hugo.

Yang Gon said: "I'm afraid that the people of Zhou are not sheep, and now Daliao is still unstable, which annoys Zhou and adds trouble." ”

"Haha......" Jeruxiu suddenly threw his head up and laughed, leaning back and forth, as if there was no funnier joke in the world. All the soldiers looked at him sideways.

A nobleman asked, "Why is the marshal laughing?" ”

Jeruxiugo's laughter was a little quieter, and he kept shaking his head, still laughing. His smile suddenly disappeared from his face, and the people around him did not change color, and he spoke: "At the beginning of the year, Zhou Guo came to provoke, but we can't touch him?" How many of you cowered, when the world is reversed, and the sheep are going to eat the wolf in turn? ”

Yang Gon said quietly: "At the beginning of the Youzhou War, didn't the marshal say that Guo Blacksmith was difficult to deal with?" ”

Yelu Hugo said coldly: "So what? In any case, the Zhou army was only 50,000 elite horsemen. ”

Yang Gon didn't say anything more, nodding thoughtfully.

Brother Yelu Xiu said: "It's good that he wants to come to Youzhou again, Ben Shuai just happens to play with him again!" ”

……

Tokyo's Golden Shoden, the wind is strong, blowing the leaves all over the sky in the imperial city.

The cities of Hebei reported that they were nothing more than to go all out to strengthen the city defenses and ask for reinforcements. There were several important ministers' towns near the Juma River, with more than enough defense and insufficient attack, and no one was able to send troops to drive a large number of Liao troops into the Kou.

In addition, there are estimates of Yizhou's losses, a large number of people were taken, mostly young women, and tens of thousands of military and civilian casualties were killed. It's all some cold data reports, but Guo Shao can imagine the blood and tears in these numbers! Even modern warfare is accompanied by crimes, and even more so in this barbaric era, no organization can dissuade barbaric adultery and plunder, except by force.

Guo Shao opened another book and read it for a long time before he realized that someone actually wrote a book to suggest peace!

The reason was grandiose, and the emperor was advised to lie down and try to accumulate national strength, and first dispose of the remaining territory in the south. It is proposed that the country is just rising, and the people are miserable for years of war, and enduring the momentary anger can protect the long-term plan of the country. He also calculated the accounts, saying that the long-term tug-of-war at the border costs a lot, and it is better to negotiate with the Liao State for the time being, but it can save expenses and protect the land and the people.

Guo Shao's face is hot, is there still a face to make peace in this situation? He had to admire the cheekiness of some scholars. The more he looked at it, the more angry he became, grabbed the piece and crumpled it into a ball, eager to tear it to pieces!

This action immediately attracted the attention of several cabinet members and the eunuchs on duty, and everyone turned their heads sideways and quietly observed Guo Shao.

Guo Shao grabbed the paper ball in his hand with both hands, and finally didn't tear it. He swallowed it in his stomach and reopened it to look at the cover, it turned out to be the prime minister's performance, no wonder someone is so bold!

it! I've put up with you for a long time.

"Someone!" Guo Shao coldly slapped the chapter on the imperial case.

Yang Shiliang, a eunuch who was five big and three thick, immediately walked to the front of the case, bowed down and said, "The slave and maid are here, what does Your Majesty command?" ”

At this moment, Guo Shao was furious, if he was in his mood, he couldn't wait to pull Fan Zhen out first and cut off his head to sacrifice the flag, and immediately lead the troops north! But he was still a sane man, and he sat there silent for a long time.

Yang Shiliang's waist bent even lower, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Guo Shaoliang spoke after a long time: "Song Zhang returned to Fan Zhen, let him hand over the black gauze hat and put it here first, the prime minister said goodbye, go home to reflect, and wait for the summons." ”

Yang Shiliang hugged his fists and said, "Huh." Then he cautiously stepped forward and picked up Zou Baba's recital.

In an instant, Guo Shao's words, the official position of the prime minister was gone, and this is also his power.

Yang Shiliang bowed down and withdrew from the west hall, straightened up when he walked out of the door, and beckoned a few eunuchs and his entourage to go straight to the political affairs hall.

There were hundreds of officials in the hall of the political affairs hall, and Yang Shiliang shouted when he walked in: "The holy decree of the official family, ask Fan Xianggong to come out to receive the decree!" ”

At this time, it immediately attracted the attention of almost everyone. The surroundings gradually quieted down, some looked this way, and some pretended to write and watched the situation quietly.

After a while, Fan Zhen strode out.

Yang Shiliang said coldly: "Holy decree." ”

Fan Zhen bowed his hand: "The old minister takes the order." ”

Yang Shiliang said: "The official family decreed, Fan Zhen put the black gauze hat in the palace first, no need to work in the political hall, go home and introspect first, and then come to see Your Majesty after you figure it out." ”

Yang Shiliang spoke politely, because it seemed that Fan Zhen still had a chance to reform in the holy decree, so he was not dead yet, so he had to leave some leeway.

Fan Zhen suddenly raised his head and sighed: "Loyalty is against the ear...... Alas! ”

Yang Shiliang said quietly: "Fan Xianggong doesn't need to say much, you will not be the prime minister from now on." Your official, if Your Majesty asks you to be a leader, you can understand. ”

Fan Zhen glared at him with disdain, turned and walked inside.

Yang Shiliang had no choice but to follow. Fan Shi took off his robes and clothes, stacked them on the table, and then put the black gauze hat and the big seal on the clothes. He wore a white lining, then changed into a gray cloth robe, brushed his sleeves and went out.

A few people in the hall also hugged their fists to say goodbye to him, and there was a lot of reluctance in their words. Yang Shiliang looked at it, no wonder the emperor was so angry that his face was red, and he didn't really do anything to him, but he just stopped for the time being.
