"Hey......"

Thousands of words converged into a thick sigh, and Zhao Pu aged a lot in an instant.

The strength shown by Yang Qi, even though he can't win the Central Plains all at once, it is still easy to stir up the Central Plains and turn a person on his back.

The elite soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty lost nearly sixty percent, and in the face of Yang Qi's multi-faceted containment, the Great Song Dynasty could only rely on people to live in the future.

Even if Yang Qi was unwilling to enter the Central Plains, he would have to consider Yang Qi's feelings in the future when the Great Song Dynasty made a decision on affairs.

The most important thing is that Yang Qi is too young, only twenty years old, sitting in the south and the northwest, and no one can estimate his achievements over time.

"Cao Shumi, you have always been close to Yang Yansi, find an opportunity to say goodbye to him, let's go back to Beijing."

Zhao Pu arched his hand to Cao Bin, threw the question of the follow-up meeting with Yang Qi to Cao Bin, and went back to the room with a sluggish step.

Cao Bin felt a little inexplicable, and then looked at Yang Qi's proud figure at the head of the city again and smiled.

No matter how high Yang Qi's achievements are, he is still his son-in-law after all, how can a son-in-law treat his father-in-law badly?

Even if he occasionally cheats him twice, he will never let him suffer at a critical time.

For example, this time he supported Zhao Defang, and easily helped the Cao family solve the trouble of hiding Dali.

And the stronger the son-in-law, the more he, the father-in-law, will rise with the tide.

After seeing Yang Qi's muscles, the generals of the Great Song Wenchen in Tongtai Pass had complicated thoughts behind their backs.

Some people are happy, some are sad, some are helpless, and some are confused.

However, Brother Yelu Xiu and Empress Dowager Xiao outside Tongtai Pass didn't have so many ideas, and their faces were ugly.

Yelu Hugo had already judged the number of soldiers and horses in Tongtai Pass through the sound of footsteps and horses' hooves.

There are nearly 500,000 soldiers, as well as a large number of people, and there is already a huge baggage team.

Some people may find it strange that Yang Qi has obviously gathered more than 400,000 soldiers and horses, why would he suddenly have more than 100,000?

These more than 100,000 people, naturally, fled to the northwest when Shuncheng was defeated, wanting to join Yang Qi's Great Song Forbidden Army.

On their way to the northwest, they bumped into the soldiers and horses led by Yang Wu, and after Yang Wu learned about their situation, he took them to Tongtai Pass.

It's just that because they are new to Yang Qi, they don't have a name for the time being, so when they entered Tongtai Pass, they were not given.

But even so, we can't ignore the fact that they are not pawns.

The Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is strong, and it is among the world's foot soldiers, and it is also the top existence.

The reason why they will fail miserably in Shuncheng is not because they are not strong enough.

But because one general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies.

Zhao Guangyi's incompetence weakened their reputation.

"More than 500,000 soldiers and horses, all of them are elite soldiers, what is Yang Yansi going to do? Is there a war with our Da Liao? ”

Jeruxiugo's face was more solemn than ever, and he stood sideways under the king's tent, his brows furrowed.

Empress Dowager Xiao had a gloomy face and asked in a low voice, "Does the eldest brother have the confidence to deal with Yang Yansi?" ”

Brother Yelu hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said, "Yang Yansi is not Zhao Guangyi, he will not be fooled by a simple strategy to lure the enemy in. If Yang Yansi really starts a war with our Great Liao, it will be an unprecedented tough battle that our Great Liao will face.

Yang Yansi is full of scheming, and there are countless ways to conquer the city, and there is almost no trace. It's hard to catch his weakness on the battlefield.

The most important thing is that the generals under him are all his own brothers, and they can be trusted, so he can let go of power without any scruples.

In this way, he has his own set of strategies, and the armies under his command have their own strategies, and each person's tactics are different.

Therefore, if you want to win according to the plan, it is purely a fool's dream, and only by forcing it to fight head-on will my Da Liao have more chances of winning. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers and horses of Yang Yansi's four northwestern mansions combined, but only 200,000, where did he get more than 500,000 soldiers and horses for him to drive?" The extra hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, did he come out of thin air? ”

Yelu Hugo sighed and smiled bitterly: "I am also confused about this question. The spies I sent out did not find the slightest information in this regard. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao looked at Tongtai Pass with deep eyes and was silent.

"Wow Wow Wow ......"

A burst of crying came at this time, Empress Dowager Xiao frowned irritably, turned her head and roared angrily at the royal tent behind her, "What do you think of the child? ”

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins......"

"The Queen Mother forgives her sins......"

Two cries of begging for mercy were heard from the king's tent.

Empress Dowager Xiao was just about to have a seizure, her mouth opened halfway, and suddenly closed, she said thoughtfully: "Yang Yansi is not without weaknesses, as far as this palace knows, he is a person who values friendship the most.

At a critical time, Yang Yanhui and Xiao Yelusi can become our hole cards. ”

Yelu Hugo did not refuse Empress Dowager Xiao's proposal, he is not a pedantic literati, and he still talks about etiquette and morality on the battlefield.

Winning is justice.

This is the law of the battlefield, and no one cares what dastardly means you use.

As if inspired by Empress Dowager Xiao, Yelu Xiuge muttered, "It's not just that...... Yang Yansi and Chen soldiers of more than 500,000 went to Tongtai Pass, and the four northwestern prefectures under his rule were bound to be empty.

If I drag Yang Yansi here, I will send a partial division down the Xinwu Erzhou to sweep away the remnants of Yang Yansi's soldiers and horses in the four states of Yunying, and then take the opportunity to attack the four northwestern prefectures, and then the soldiers and horses under Yang Yansi's command will definitely not be attacked. ”

When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, she smiled, and her heart, which was suspended because of Yang Qiliang's muscles, finally let go, "The eldest brother is really wise, and he is worthy of being greater than Yue in my Da Liao." ”

Brother Yelu Xiu looked at the smile on Empress Dowager Xiao's face, his heart warmed, and he smiled faintly: "As long as it is beneficial to me and Da Liao, I will not hesitate to break my bones." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded, "However, this palace thinks that this battle can still be fought without fighting." This war has cost a lot of money and food, our goal has been achieved, and if we continue to fight, even if our Daliao wins, it will only be a miserable victory. ”

"Then send someone to discuss peace again?"

"Who should I send?"

“……”

"Yang Yanhui!"

The two of them said a name in unison, then looked at each other and smiled.

However, Yang Qi in Tongtai Pass didn't know that the two old foxes outside the city were preparing to dig a pit for him.

The arrival of the elite soldiers of all departments completely relieved Yang Qi, he finally did not have to worry that Tongtai Pass would be breached, and this battle would be out of his control.

The guards of Tongtai Pass were immediately taken over by the Southern Tiger Army and the Yanmen Army.

Tongtai Pass, which was originally precarious, instantly turned into a military city full of soldiers.

Yang Qi got down the city wall of Tongtaiguan, and swept away the majestic posture just now, he was like a gust of wind, pounced on his brother and sister-in-law, as well as Huyan Chijin, who had not been seen for many years.

"Second brother!"

"Third brother!"

"Second sister-in-law!"

"Third sister-in-law!"

“……”

"Red Gold Sister ......"

When the group got together, their eyes turned red in an instant.

Since the Yang brothers left Beijing, they have never gathered again.

This time is the time when the Yang brothers have gathered relatively well after many years.

Yang Da and Yang Si are still missing.

It is precisely because of the absence of the two that the friendship between brothers is even more precious.

Huyan Chijin was like a fire phoenix, rushing into Yang Qi's arms and hitting him with a full bosom.

Yang Qi hugged Huyan Chijin tightly, chanting Huyan Chijin's name over and over again.

Huyan Chijin had been crying silently for a long time, and years of lovesickness were released at this moment, and it was impossible to express it in words.

The brothers of the Yang family watched their lovers hug each other, and they all smiled kindly.

Only Du Jin'e, who was standing on the side, pursed her mouth quite sourly in her heart.

Although she is a child of the rivers and lakes, she is different from Huyan Chijin, whose personality is so hot and direct, and she dares to love and hate.

She is introverted in her bones, and when facing Yang Qi, she always has some of the reserved nature that her daughter's family should have.

"Don't cry...... Shrewd...... When I come back this time, I won't go to Nanguo again, and I will stay in Datong Mansion in the future......"

Yang Qi seemed to be comforting the child, softly comforting Huyan Chijin in his arms.

After half a ring, he waited until Huyan Chijin calmed down before he let go of her.

Yang Er said with a smile on the side: "As the saying goes, women are like clothes, and brothers are like siblings. But I see, in the eyes of the seventh brother, we brothers and sisters are not as good as clothes. ”

The second sister-in-law, Geng Jinhua, looked at Yang Er with a smile and asked, "In the eyes of your Yang Yanding, the concubine is just a piece of clothing?" ”

Yang Er realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly explained: "I'll just say it so casually, don't take it to heart." ”

"Humph!"

Geng Jinhua snorted coldly and no longer bothered Yang Er.

Yang Er smiled dryly, hurriedly changed the topic, and said to Yang Qi: "Seventh brother, when you left the southern country, let us be brothers...... There is also a sister-in-law, who will train a 200,000 elite soldier for you.

Fortunately, a few of us have lived up to your hopes, not only trained 200,000 elite soldiers as promised, but also trained 100,000 more. ”

"That's your credit?"

Geng Jinhua said angrily: "If it weren't for his third sister-in-law's efforts to exterminate those slang bureaucrats who were unwilling to belong in the mountains and forests, would you have enough manpower to train the troops?" Where did the war come from to hone the soldiers and horses under his hands?

Also, if it weren't for Su Xiangguo's unsparing approval of a large amount of money to you, what would you use to equip these soldiers and horses? ”

Yang Er said helplessly: "Yes, yes, what you said is right, it is all the credit of his third sister-in-law and Su Xiangguo." ”

The third sister-in-law, Dong Yue'e, smiled lightly, without the slightest hint of the fierce aura of the legendary female demon in the south, but like a big sister next door, and said with a smile: "How dare I take credit, I just took a group of people to run errands in the mountains."

It was you who really trained the troops, it was the Nanguo Money Company that helped sell the stolen goods, and it was the officials of Su Xiangguo who sent people to mine and give pensions and rewards to the soldiers.

I don't need to mention my little things. ”

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

Yang San and Yang Liu each stepped forward and gave Yang Qi a bear hug.

Yang Wu hugged his brothers one by one.

Yang Qi accompanied his brothers and sisters-in-law to chat about some family life, and everyone found a place to sit down.

Yang Liu said in a deep voice: "Seventh brother, this time you gathered so many soldiers and horses to Tongtai Pass, do you want to do a big deal?" ”

Yang Qi smiled and said, "Sixth brother, what do you mean by doing a big vote?" We're not bandits. ”

Yang Qi's words amused everyone, and he immediately said: "The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have been in the hands of the Liao people for decades, and it is time to take them back." When I was in Nanguo, I said that one day, I would save all the Han people in Liaodi.

Now is the time for me to deliver on my promise. ”

Yang San hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Seventh brother, when you were in the southern country, let a few of us be the elder brothers' training soldiers and horses in advance, and at that time you were plotting against the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?" ”

Yang Qi nodded, shook his head again, and said with emotion: "The sixteen states of Yanyun are the pain in the hearts of all the men of the Han family. Isn't it normal for me to be worried? Don't you care? ”

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Yang Er said with a smile: "We are worried about the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, but we don't know when we will be able to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and we are not sure to add a deadline to it."

You are different, when you were in the southern country, you seemed to have guessed that within five or six years, there would be a war between Song and Liao.

That's how we made a five-year covenant.

And that's not all.

You have gathered more than 400,000 soldiers and horses at once, and you want to fight against the Liao State to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Moreover, at the beginning of the war between Song and Liao, we were ordered to move to Dongtou Island, Dengzhou and other places.

Did you already expect that in this battle, the Great Song would lose?

So from the beginning, you didn't pin your hopes on Da Song?

Or, whether it was the great war between Song and Liao, or the defeat of the Great Song Dynasty in Shuncheng, it was all led by you? ”

When everyone heard this, they all set their eyes on Yang Qi.

Even though they were all Yang Qi's closest people, there was still confusion and surprise in their eyes.

If the great war between Song and Liao, as well as the defeat of Shuncheng in the Great Song Dynasty, were planned by Yang Qi, it would be terrible.

The most terrifying thing is that Yang Qi actually started the layout as early as five years ago.

Such means are no longer enough to describe with sophisticated calculations.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Yang Qi shook his head with a wry smile, "You think too highly of me." There will eventually be a war between Song and Liao, which is inevitable. Between the two countries, the sixteen states of Yanyun do not give in to each other. They are constantly at war with each other, and you don't have to guess to see that.

The reason why I made a five-year covenant was also because when I was walking in the imperial court, I guessed an approximate time based on the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty, the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, and the character of Zhao Guangyi.

It's just that I didn't expect it to be so accurate.

As for the fiasco of the Great Song Dynasty in Shuncheng, it really has nothing to do with me.

Frankly speaking, I can't do anything to send hundreds of thousands of Han men into the tiger's mouth.

Long before the imperial court marched into Shuncheng, my spies noticed that something was wrong.

I reminded me many times, and even asked Cao Shumian to persuade Zhao Guangyi not to act rashly.

But Zhao Guangyi didn't listen to persuasion at all, not only put Cao Shumi under house arrest, but also insisted on going his own way to send troops to Shunzhou, which caused this tragedy. ”
