Chapter 196: Internal and External Troubles

Chongzheng seemed to see the doubts in An Yi's heart, and waved his hand at Liu Biao beside him and said, "When I was in Lanzhou, I told me that I wanted to see the 'White Tiger God', and now I have got what I wanted." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to Liu Biao and pretended to be serious: "I sent you to General An, you have to study hard, don't lose the face of me and Concubine Hui, understand?" ”

"The last will live up to the grace of God!"

Liu Biao's opening sounded clean and neat, but I don't know if it's the same when I start doing things, after all, this Concubine Hui's people can't beat and scold, it's enough to give An Yi a headache.

Immediately after Chongzheng looked at Sun Dezhang behind the King of Shu, the old governor knelt on his knees as soon as he lifted the hem, bowed his head and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" The sin deserves death! ”

Chongzheng hurriedly helped him up with one hand, and said with relief: "The old governor doesn't have to blame himself too much, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, if you are not dedicated to the country, you will not be defeated in this situation, these I know that the governor is the pillar of the northwest, and it seems that the matter of resignation can be mentioned again in the future." ”

"Your Majesty........ Thank you, Your Majesty! ”

The old governor looked very touched, his voice was a little choked, and he wanted to lean over the ground again and knock on the ground for two more times, but was stopped by Chongzheng Liansheng.

Regardless of how sincere Sun Dezhang was, An Yi felt that Chongzheng still trusted him as the governor of the capital, and he did not punish him too much after Han Lin lost nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers, but persuaded him with good words.

In this way, although all the decisions made by this old emperor are a little extreme, he is not a harsh and tyrannical monarch.

"Your Majesty, the palace has been cleaned up, and the northwest weather is cold for fear of hurting the dragon's body, so it's better to move to the palace."

Chongzheng nodded towards the King of Shu, "Okay, just listen to the imperial brother, you are all entangled in military affairs, let's go first, and then invite you to discuss the war when I settle down." ”

"Yes!"

Liao army battalion

Xiao Yan'er was sitting on the tiger skin chair at the head of the handsome desk in a dark red brocade robe, and the voice of Generalissimo Han Guangde came from outside the door,

"Queen Mother, the old minister has something important to report."

Xiao Yan'er stared at the scroll in front of the handsome case without raising her eyes, and whispered to the door: "It's the old handsome, come in." ”

Han Guangde opened the curtain and entered, bowed to Empress Xiao, and said in a solemn voice: "Queen Mother, I just got the news that Chongzheng has entered Lanzhou City with 200,000 Xia troops, and the Xia army at this time has a total of 300,000 troops and the old emperor, all of whom have gathered in Lanzhou City, which should be the last soldiers and horses of the Great Xia Dynasty." ”

Xiao Yan'er nodded, but still didn't raise her beautiful eyes, and then asked Han Guangde: "Have all the people in Lanzhou City been arranged?" ”

Han Guangde nodded and responded: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother has been arranged according to the agreed time, and our people have already entered the city, and when the time comes, I plan to let General Tuoba lead 3,000 men and horses to rush to the city gate, and General Han will surround Lanzhou with 50,000 people, and none of the people in this city can escape." Just .........."

Han Guangde said safely in the front, but he hesitated a little later,

Xiao Yan'er raised her eyes at him, "Just what?" ”

"It's just that King Yong's side sent a message that He Ji, the commander of the Chengdu Left Guard who was originally in charge of the internal response in Lanzhou City, was wanted by An Yi under the pretext of collaborating with the enemy, and died violently on death row that night, and now the person who is docking has become He Liu, but King Yong's side reassures us that everything is as usual."

"Who is He Liu?"

"It's He Ji's nephew, and he is currently the right guard of 100 households in Chengdu."

Xiao Yan'er's eyebrows suddenly frowned, obviously He Liu's official position was not enough to reassure her, she said with some displeasure: "Baihu? This little prince is broad-hearted and expects a hundred households to do things for us? ”

Han Guangde continued to explain: "Although He Liu is a hundred households, but now the commander of the Chengdu Right Guard is cooperating with Gu Chenxi, according to what he meant last time, the entire Chengdu Right Guard is under his control, so we don't have to worry." ”

"This comfort is superb, and he can be found on the battlefield in terms of catching thieves, is he a guerrilla general or a fast catcher?"

Han Guangde reminded on the side: "Queen Mother, now this An Yi has been promoted to the chief soldier of Gansu Town, and his status in this Lanzhou city is second only to that King of Shu and Sun Dezhang." In my opinion, this incident is more like an infighting between them, so there is nothing to worry about. ”

Xiao Yan'er nodded in agreement, "I have the same opinion as you on this point, it should be the contradiction between He Liu and He Ji."

But no matter who it is, don't delay our big things. ”

"Don't worry, tomorrow is the Chinese New Year's Eve of the Han people, and I will follow them closely during this period."

After Han Guangde finished speaking, he paused, and then reminded Empress Xiao as if he remembered something: "By the way, Queen Mother, this King Yong sent someone to mention to us about the boundary division after the negotiation, and you haven't answered him yet." ”

"Oh, I remembered, the old man almost forgot if he didn't remind me."

Xiao Yan'er seemed to have just remembered something unimportant, and casually instructed Han Guangde: "The old handsome can go and respond to it, as long as you stabilize this little prince, you can reply no matter what." ”

Han Guangde asked a little puzzled: "What does the Queen Mother mean.......... None of these counts? If this opportunity is lost, let the Great Xia Dynasty breathe a sigh of relief, and after the new emperor ascends the throne, they will not be able to nod so easily. ”

Xiao Yan'er smiled a little disappreciatively, "The old man is too worried, there is already a King Yong, plus the King De standing behind the prince I went to Qiu Huang Town last time, as soon as the old emperor dies, these two little princes will definitely be eager to go to war." What's more, Chongzheng has five sons, and the other princes willingly give up the throne to others? When the time comes, we will take Tongguan Dakequan as a wall watch, not more, only 50,000 horses to fight one by one, it is not impossible to draw that Wang Jing over. ”

"Yes! It seems that I am still worried, and the Queen Mother is far-sighted, which is really admirable. ”

Han Guangde really admired the person in front of him who could be his granddaughter at this age, and her beautiful eyes always seemed to have a rainy day insight.

Xiao Yan'er stood up with a smile, walked around to the front of the handsome case, stretched out her slender hand and patted Han Guangde's thick arm,

"The old marshal has said it, no matter how far-sighted he is, he has to rely on you, the generalissimo, to fight the battle in front of him!"

"The Queen Mother rest assured! The old minister must do his best. ”

The two men were talking in the tent, but they were suddenly interrupted by a commotion outside the tent.

"Let me in! I want to see Empress Xiao! ”

Han Guangde knew that it was Jelu Xiuke when he heard the voice, and it sounded extremely angry Jelu Xiuko,

"Queen Mother, I'll go out and have a look."

Xiao Yan'er waved her hand at him, "Let's go out together, old handsome, a Yelu Xiu is not qualified to make me Xiao Yan'er timid." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and walked out of the camp with Han Guangde.

"Your Highness Yelu, the Generalissimo is in the tent, you know, no one can trespass without the will of the Queen Mother! Small....... The small ones can't be put in you! ”

Yelu Xiuke didn't mean to talk nonsense with him at all, and the jade dragon spear in his hand flicked forward, and the guard was so frightened that he hurriedly blocked it with the blade of the sword, but he didn't know that the shot with the breath of death was like a nimble poisonous snake and came towards his thigh.

"Ah!!h

The guards who couldn't avoid it could only get a scream, and the thighs with leg armor were pierced like tofu by the jade dragon spear in Yelu Xiuke's hand, so frightened that he sat on the ground with a face-like face, no matter how he pressed his thighs, he couldn't stop the gushing blood, and this hideous wound meant that he didn't live long.

"Jerexiuk, are you going to rebel!"

As soon as Han Guangde came out of the tent, he saw several pro-soldiers lying on the ground, some of whom had obviously been killed by a shot, and there was no sound.

Yelu Xiuke stood outside the tent with the jade dragon spear that was still dripping with blood like a murderous god, and Han Guangde could clearly see the sudden green tendons on his forehead two or three steps away, his originally handsome and fair face had already been red with anger, and a pair of ice blue eyes carried Ling Ran's killing intent,

He pointed the jade dragon spear in his hand forward, suppressed the fire in his heart and said coldly: "What are you doing?" Generalissimo Han was embarrassed to ask me what I was doing! Today, I am seeking justice for the brothers who died in vain in the city of Lanzhou! ”

As he spoke, Yelu Xiuke stabbed at the cloud dragon spear in his hand, but the target was obviously not Han Guangde, who was talking to him, but Xiao Yan'er behind him!

"Bold!"

Although Han Guangde is old, he is not old, and he holds Yelu Xiuke's gun with his backhand, and holds it tightly in the palm of his hand, so that the high Ciyi who smashed this shot is numb, and Yelu Xiuke can make it difficult to stab forward with all his strength.

However, Yelu Xiu is not a good match, he turned the gun in his hand against Han Guangde's elbow, broke free from his hand, and then withdrew and twisted the tip of the gun to rotate the tip of the gun and stab forward again!

At this moment, Han Guangde didn't dare to greet him, so he copied the steel knife in the hands of the soldiers next to him, and smashed it on the sudden cold light.

"Boom!"

With a crisp collision sound, Yelu Xiuke felt that the jade dragon spear in his hand was heavily smashed out of direction, and the tip of the spear that was originally stabbed forward was violently changed direction and inserted into the soil in front of Han Guangde's feet, and the steel knife cut on the body of the gun in Han Guangde's hand had already opened a huge gap, and spider web-like cracks were all over the blade.

"Are you enough?"

Han Guangde shouted angrily at Yelu Xiuke, "If you want to assassinate the Queen Mother, are you going to rebel!" ”

"I'm nonsense? Who the hell are we talking about? With such a big game, Lanzhou is almost at your fingertips! And you ordered the withdrawal of the army without authorization, and the 50,000 army fell short! Yelu Xiuke almost roared at Han Guangde and Empress Xiao behind him.

Xiao Yan'er looked at him with an expressionless face, "The Anyi army has arrived at the city, the opportunity has been lost, we only have a city to take Lanzhou, what is the use of us?" ”

"You're obviously afraid that I'll take over the credit! Such a scheming and petty person does everything for his own selfish interests and for your monopoly of power! ”

"I, Xiao Yan'er, swear to the gods in the sky, I have never done anything to be sorry for Da Liao! But you Yelu Huke, acting without permission and not listening to the dispatch, but also secretly accumulating strength, thinking about the throne all the time, do you think I don't know? If it weren't for my pressure, the current struggle in the Great Liao Dynasty would have developed like the Han people to the point of fighting each other and killing each other! If it really comes to that time, you Yelu Xiuke will be the sinner of the ages of Daliao! ”

Xiao Yan'er said as she spoke, and her originally cold pretty face was also smeared with a bit of anger, and an undoubted coercion almost followed.

Yelu Xiuke also knew in his heart that Han Guangde couldn't get anything good if he came here today, but even if he made a big fuss here, with the identity of the royal family, Empress Xiao was not good, so he didn't want to treat himself well.

He pulled out the jade dragon spear that was obliquely inserted in the soil, and looked at the two of them angrily with ice blue eyes.

"Good, good! You've all memorized it for me! I won't let you go! ”

After leaving this sentence, he turned over his horse with his jade dragon spear and galloped towards the outside of the camp.

"Queen Mother, he ......."

Xiao Yan'er looked at Yelu Xiuke's back with a cold face, and only waved her hand at Han Guangde after a while,

"Forget it, but I don't think I can do anything to him, just come here to spread a cruel word, the most important thing now is Lanzhou, he can't afford to make any waves."

"Yes!"

......................

Outside the camp

As soon as Jeruxiuke ran out of the camp, he bumped into Tuoba Yin who was rushing to him.

"Your Highness, you are too reckless, how can you directly go to the Empress Xiao?"

Seeing that Tuoba Yin's worried color was overflowing, Yelu Xiuke, who was still angry just now, smiled evilly,

"If I don't say a word to her, she won't worry about me."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his bosom and handed it to Tuoba Yin, instructing: "We are completely idle now, you find a reliable person for this, and you must hand it over to Uncle Qi." ”

"It's ........"

"Prepare in advance!"
