Chapter 555: Hypocrisy
On the steps, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty stood there pacing around. Yang Ye knelt on the ground and said: "The minister who lost his teacher humiliated the country, the crime deserves death!" ”
His face was almost touching the ground, and the broken brick in front of him was exactly where the saint stood in front of the expedition, and it was still the same as before, with a crooked crack in the masonry. He buried his head so low, it was indeed a shame, and the last thing he wanted for a military general was defeat.
However, apart from this feeling, Yang Ye's brain felt a little empty, and he didn't feel afraid. Because of his understanding of Liu Jun and the process of this battle, he felt that although he was defeated and guilty, he would not be punished for serious crimes.
Sure enough, after Liu Jun finished reading the recital, he turned his head and asked Feng Jinke, who was kneeling on the side: "Why did you lose so quickly?" ”
Feng Jinke replied cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, the Zhou army fought bravely, had high morale, and fought desperately...... The sinner waited and did his best. ”
Liu Jun sighed in public and said: "Intensify the operation of Jinyang City's city defense, so I have to defend the city." Then send people to Beijing to urge the Liao State to send reinforcements to reinforce. ”
With the strength of the Northern Han Kingdom, in addition to asking for help from the Liao State, there is indeed no way to do it, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. This is also the reason why almost none of the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Han Dynasty have a good impression of the Liao people, and they still ally themselves with the Khitan and claim to be self-proclaimed.
…… Yang Ye was indeed not punished, and he was continued to be entrusted with important responsibilities as the most important deployment in Nancheng. But he didn't have the strength to do that day, so he went straight home. He was physically and mentally exhausted, and suddenly he was depressed.
The battle of the Baigu Regiment shocked the Northern Han Kingdom, and the matter related to the lives of countless people has already spread throughout Jinyang. The Yang family already knew that when people saw Yang Ye coming back, they were all cautious, for fear that when he was in a bad mood, they would be unlucky and bump into him.
Yang Ye sat in a hall, and the surroundings were quiet, at least he could finally put it down tonight...... But he couldn't be at peace in his heart, there was no one around, but there seemed to be a battlefield of Jin Ge Iron Horse in front of him, and those shouts and shouts seemed to still echo in his ears.
The distant fanatical sound of long live still makes Yang Ye's heart tremble. The bravery and madness of the Great Zhou Forbidden Army made him linger, can this battle really be fought?
"Smack!" Yang Ye slapped his palm on the arm of the chair, stood up suddenly, and paced back and forth at the door with his hands behind his back. The messy footsteps are like his depressed wandering heart.
At this moment, a cloth robe in his fifties walked to the door, bent down and said, "Lang Jun, the old slave has received this, please watch it." ”
Yang Ye took it casually, it was an envelope, and there were no words on it. He tore open the door, took out a piece of paper from it, and was stunned when he saw the handwriting, and his depressed mood suddenly became energetic, a stimulated emotion. The handwriting is that of his younger brother Yang Chongxun! He went through the content again, and roughly persuaded him to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and take the opportunity to surrender to Da Zhou.
Yang Ye hurriedly folded the letter paper to cover the contents on it. He thought it was a little strange...... After thinking about it for a while, the first thing that is strange is how his younger brother could suddenly write such a letter, Yang Chongxun will not write easily, especially after Yang Chongxun was recruited by the Zhou Dynasty and led Linzhou to change to the Great Zhou Dynasty; Of course, no one cares what flag he plays, Linzhou is too remote, and there are not many people, and most of the countries can't take care of it, and most of them are just looking for someone to persuade and win it over.
Most of this letter was written by Yang Chongxun in accordance with the meaning of the Zhou court! Yang Ye was slightly surprised, because although his reputation was very famous in the Northern Han Dynasty, he really didn't expect that even Tokyo would go to great lengths to win him over.
At this moment, the old slave suddenly took the initiative to speak: "There are a few words, the old slave doesn't know whether to say or not. ”
Yang Ye said kindly: "You are a person from Linzhou with me, what should you not say?" ”
Only then did the old slave say, "I haven't seen the person who delivered the letter...... Linzhou Yang Mansion must have accepted other people over the years, which is not unusual. The strange thing is that this man can find me as soon as he comes; And I don't even know him, how can he recognize me, and know that I am a person that Lang Jun can trust...... That's why you dare to hand over this kind of letter that seems to be very secret. ”
The old man paused, and then said, "I think back that it was the horseman who only entered the Yang Mansion two months ago who was driving the car...... That person was the person who was the guarantor of the red warbler in Langjun's concubine's room. ”
"The messenger?" Yang Ye asked.
The old man said: "At that time, at the mouth of an alley, there was no one around the old slave, so he didn't keep him and left." ”
"I see." Yang Ye waved his sleeves.
The old man bowed and left the door in silence.
Yang Ye thought carefully about the old slave's words, and remembered that the red warbler had teased the Northern Han State several times before for disregarding the righteousness and allied with the Khitan. He didn't care about it before, but now it's ...... It really made him feel a little suspicious.
I couldn't help but go straight to the red warbler's room.
The red warbler was happy again, wiped away tears, and was as docile and lovely as before. The woman is her mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and she has too many emotions, but Yang Ye is not disgusted, but she just feels that she doesn't have so many emotions.
Yang Ye asked quietly, "Red Ying, what do you think I am like to you?" ”
Hongying was busy and said with a touched face: "Lang Jun is as kind to the concubine as a mountain, and he loves him very much. ”
Yang Ye nodded, pondered for a moment, and asked, "That groom, is it really your cousin?" ”
Hongying's gaze swept over Yang Ye's face, pursed her lips and said, "Why did Lang Jun suddenly ask about this?" ”
Yang Yedao: "I suddenly heard him say today that he stayed in Tokyo...... Didn't you use to be in Yangzhou? ”
"My cousin hasn't been in the same place with me all the time, and I've heard that he did stay in Tokyo for a while, but I don't know much about the concubine's status...... After entering the Shen family, he rarely interacted with relatives and rarely met his cousin. A hint of panic flashed across the red warbler's face.
When Yang Ye heard this, his heart suddenly felt a little sad. This woman is indeed a slave-like concubine, which is nothing, but he has been with her day and night in the past few months, but he treats her honestly...... I only found out today that this girl is full of lies!
Yang Ye felt that he had been used to sympathize with him, and this feeling made him suddenly very angry! It has now been speculated that the red warbler may have been sent by Tokyo, and as long as she and her so-called cousin are taken down and interrogated separately, their origins will definitely be confirmed.
But Yang Ye endured this fire and curiosity about the truth.
At first, he didn't understand why he would be polite to a person who deceived him with false feelings, but gradually he finally understood his inner instincts...... Because the combat strength of the Great Zhou army left a deep impression on him, he had vaguely judged the victory or defeat of this war.
The possibility of the defeat of the Northern Han Kingdom was too great, and Yang Ye subconsciously wanted to leave a way back for himself. He himself is a Han'er, and he has no sense of resistance to the Central Plains Dynasty; is still working hard for the Northern Han Dynasty, but he is worried about the kindness of the first emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty and his personal reputation for loyalty...... But there is no need to kill for it.
