Jiaozhi country is located in the south of Liangguang, close to Dali, near the sea and mountains, the terrain is changeable, since the first year of Song Taizu Kaibao Ding led the defeat of the eleventh division after the unification of Jiaozhi, the establishment of the Great Qu Yue Kingdom, the capital of Hualu, the eldest son Ding Lian went to the Song Dynasty to ask for the seal of heaven after the throne, Zhao Kuangyin gave the name "Annan Duhu", and respected it as "Nanyue country".

Since the accession of Si Zhou to the throne, he believed in Buddhism, made great efforts to govern the country, and reused officials, and in just three years, the original barbaric land has become such a prosperous scene today, attracting neighboring South Vietnam to marry and befriend him, and the surrounding Li Dynasty submitted to it.

At this time, the Song Dynasty was strong and strong, the Liao State showed goodwill, and Dali and other three countries exchanged exchanges, Nanyue and Li Dynasty should never send troops to attack the Song Dynasty, but Ding Lian went straight to the Jinluan Palace in Bianjing with a battle table, and broke through the important town of Huguang with lightning speed, Zhanlu and Xiping two prefectures, and the court was trusted, and there was an uproar.

Zhao Guangyi was furious, and urgently ordered his uncle Fu Zhaoyuan, Dongping Marquis Gao Huaide, Lu Guogong Cao Bin, Tongping Zhangshi Pan Mei, Daizhou Jiedu envoy Yang Ye and other important ministers to enter the inner court to discuss the war.

"The south has been quiet for many years, and today it is suddenly attacking on a large scale, I am afraid that there are other plans, and I hope that Your Majesty will make a decision as soon as possible." Gao Huaide spoke first, and Cao Bin followed suit: "Nanyue is a small state, and in recent years, it has been attached to Dali, and its national strength has recovered slightly, so it has also had wolf ambitions, and dares to provoke the majesty of our Celestial Empire. ”

Zhao Guangyi sat down steadily, heard nothing, only looked up at Fu Zhaoyuan, Fu Zhaoyuan understood, and said, "Nanyue and Li Chaoxuan must have already planned to attack at this time, and they must not underestimate the enemy, and I hope Your Majesty will send elite soldiers to attack." ”

"Elite soldiers attack" Pan Mei sneered, "It's just a small country in the south, why not deal with my big Song elite soldiers, Uncle Guo is inevitably making a big fuss." ”

"In my opinion, how should this matter be handled." Fu Zhaoyuan asked rhetorically.

Pan Mei raised her eyes and glanced at him, and said with her hand, "Killing chickens with a knife can now be a hostile state to our dynasty, but the Khitan Liao Kingdom, the small South Vietnam, and the Li Dynasty that is not in the climate, what kind of wind and waves can be set off, they can break my Huguang, but for a while, such a trivial matter, there is really no need for Your Majesty to worry, if Your Majesty can trust the old minister, the minister will raise a person as the commander, and he will be able to recover the southern border." ”

Zhao Guangyi picked up a string of red incense beads on the table, leaned back, and then Pan Meizhi asked, "Who?" ”

Pan Mei stretched out her arms and replied, "Dog Pan Long." ”

"Pan Long?" Cao Bin asked rhetorically, and then sneered: "Lord Pan must think too highly of his son!" Pan Long, has he ever been on the battlefield? ”

"Your Majesty, although Pan Long has never led troops to the battlefield alone, he is proficient in the art of war and strategy, and is good at planning and fighting, so he will definitely be able to recover the two dynasties of South Vietnam in one fell swoop without paying the trust of His Majesty."

Gao Huaide was dissatisfied in his heart, exchanged glances with Fu Zhaoyuan beside him, and said, "It is a matter of national fortune, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ”

Zhao Guangyi didn't answer, looked around at everyone present, only Yang Ye didn't say a word, and couldn't help shouting, "Yang Aiqing, according to your opinion!" ”

Yang Ye bowed slightly, and said, "Your Majesty, although the country of South Vietnam is small, but it has never been unprepared, this time since the United Li Dynasty has launched a large-scale anti-Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the plan has been planned for a long time, although Dali is not moving, I am afraid that it has already been prepared, waiting for the fighter plane, in addition, the Liao State mission is still staying in Gyeonggi, the border pass is in trouble, fear of disaster and others, Liao Shuai Han Chang is extremely keen, and he must not make a half-fork in front of him, so the minister believes that the enemy should never be underestimated, and a strong general should be sent to South Vietnam. ”

"Okay" Before Yang Ye's voice fell, Zhao Guangyi couldn't wait to throw out the word, and then sat up straight and ordered, "According to the Zhongqing, Ren Fu Zhaoyuan is the marshal of the expedition to the south, Gao Huaide and Cao Bin are the left and right generals, Yang Yanping is the overseer, Yang Yanding is the vanguard, and 50,000 elite soldiers are ordered, and they will go to the south on the same day to assist Hu Zhirui and Dong Anmin to quell the rebellion in South Vietnam." ”

"Accept the order, thank you."

……

Out of the Wende Palace, Fu Zhaoyuan and the others each dispatched troops and horses, Pan Mei was suspicious, and when she saw that Yang Ye was not in a hurry, she shouted and chased after her.

Yang Ye stopped, stretched out his sleeves and exchanged a salute with Pan Mei, and asked, "Is there something wrong with Master Pan?" ”

Pan Mei smiled, turned sideways and said, "Lord Yang has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he knows what the Second Dynasty of South Vietnam is capable of, don't you think the official family is making a big fuss this time?" ”

Yang Ye frowned slightly, glanced back, and asked, "What does Master Pan mean by this?" ”

Pan Mei smiled, stretched out her hand to invite Yang Ye to accompany her, and replied slowly, "Nanyue and the Li Dynasty are only subordinate countries of our dynasty, and they make pilgrimages and pay tribute every year. ”

Yang Ye pondered for a moment, and replied, "The Liao envoy is still here, and South Vietnam is attacking our dynasty at this time, for fear that the Liao people will see the opportunity, and the officials will send elite soldiers and strong generals to attack South Vietnam and the Li Dynasty, which is also to show the majesty of our dynasty to Liao, which has the meaning of deterrence." ”

"Really?" Pan Mei asked with an eyebrow.

Yang Yelang laughed twice: "If Master Pan doesn't believe it, this official has nothing to say." ”

"This official is just a pity for the adults, 50,000 elite soldiers attacked South Vietnam, this is a clear merit, but the official family only let the two major generals be the overseers and pioneers." Pan Mei paused for a moment, looked at Yang Ye again, and sighed as if she was a little pity, "In the end, it is more trusted to follow the official family to fight the world, but Lord Yang does not need to be discouraged, the sixth son of your family is quite appreciated by the county lord, if there is really a day when the dragon and the phoenix are attached, coupled with Lord Yang's hard work, what Dongping Marquis Mansion and Lu Guogong Mansion are probably not as glorious as Tianbo Yang Mansion." ”

"Master Pan lost his words." The provocative meaning in Pan Mei's tone was not concealed, which made people very unhappy, and Yang Ye did not hide his displeasure, and said, "The county lord is honorable, I am not allowed to wait for me to discuss it, although the lord is the royal family, he should also be cautious in his words and deeds, as for the dog, I really don't need to bother the lord to take his leave." ”

Pan Mei stared coldly at Yang Ye's departing back, slowly put away the smile on the corner of her mouth, and muttered a sentence in her mouth, "Lord Yang is easy to go." ”

"See father" Pan Long saw Yang Ye leaving, and Fang stepped forward from behind.

Pan Meiqian responded, and the tunnel "Let's talk about it!" What to think. ”

"Gao Houye, Cao Guogong, Yang Shuaisu and my father have different political views, that Uncle Fu is the confidant of the official family, and he acts impartially, according to this situation, the official family should not summon his father to meet him!"

"Yes! But why did he summon me again? It's just to let me say a word of overkill, just to have someone with different opinions, so that what is said in the palace today can reach the ears of the Liao people, so as to have a deterrent effect. Pan Mei locked her eyebrows and pondered, then shook her head again, "The official family will not act like this, there must be other reasons." ”

Pan Long didn't speak, but listened to Pan Mei's instructions, "You go back to the house and take Zhan Ziqian's "You Chun Tu" to Niangniang, and ask her to ask Your Majesty to reward it, it's been so long, she should also think of a way to regain the emperor's favor." ”

"Yes," Pan Long replied with a busy smile.

……

Liulang and Shiro took turns on duty, knowing that their father was left in the palace by the emperor to discuss matters, so they waited at the palace gate, Yang Ye walked out of the palace road, and the two brothers hurriedly greeted him.

Yang Ye stopped, Chong Liulang gave him a scrutinizing look, and let out a heavy sullen breath, Yang Yanzhao was puzzled, and followed behind him and asked, "What is the will of the official family." ”

"Uncle Guo is the commander, Dongping Hou and Lu Guogong are the left and right generals, your eldest brother and second brother are with the army, and 50,000 elite soldiers will attack the southern border." Yang Ye responded, and Liulang exchanged glances with Shiro, and couldn't help but smile, "That's fine, I hope to solve the chaos in the south as soon as possible." ”

Yang Ye didn't answer, but Gu Zi got on the horse, Liulang Shilang followed, returned to Tianbo Mansion, Fang entered the courtyard, Yang Ye suddenly stopped, turned around and stared at Liulang, and held back for a long time before saying, "I told you many times, but you didn't pay attention to half of it." Liulang was still confused, not knowing what his father was referring to, Yang Ye continued, "For my father, I mean that you are too close to the Lord of Yong'an." ”

"The son and the county lord are in love, affectionate, and courteous." Yang Yanzhao explained urgently.

Yang Ye turned around and stared at it, and complained, "What kind of frivolous words, the official family has a purpose, or the Fu family nodded, no name and no division, this is private..." ”

"Even if the county lord is the king, there will be a day when he will marry and be his wife, and the son and her have been happy with each other for a long time."

"You, why are you so confused." Yang Ye was a little angry, turned around and stared at Liulang and analyzed, "First, she is the princess of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, her identity is extremely special, our Yang family bears the name of a general, and it is dangerous enough for these two identities to be stacked together, and secondly, she looks stronger than others, and the nobles in the court are all worried about it, today you have no name, Pan Guozhang can't help but make irresponsible remarks, cynicism, if you really become the county horse, he Pan Long must not hate you to death, for a woman, make enemies for yourself, this is not what a smart person should do." ”

Yang Yanhui saw that his father was angry, and he was afraid that Liulang would be scolded, so he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded in a low voice, "You follow your father's wishes first, don't cause trouble for yourself." ”

Yang Yanzhao was willing to go down the stairs, grabbed Shiro away, and responded, "My son is extremely stupid, I really don't want to be a smart person, my son only knows that the county lord is what I want all my life, and I only know that it is a great pleasure in life to know that I am a companion, and I am not afraid of any enemies, suspicion, and when I return to Beijing this time, I will hand over my cousin to the official family." ”

"No," Yang Ye said sharply.

"Why?"

Yang Ye breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment before replying, "The matter has come to this point, my father will tell you the truth, you can look at anyone in this court, and your father can take care of it for you, only the royal family can't climb it, because, because you have a marriage contract." ”

"What?!"

Shiro and Rokuro spoke almost in unison, their eyes wide open, staring at their father standing in the courtyard in a daze, the wide ink-colored robe covering his heroic posture, nor the helplessness and desolation contained in his eyes full of vicissitudes of life for a long time.
