Chapter 0740: Buying People's Hearts
Yang Yanhui escaped from the military tent and bumped into Yang Qi, who was waiting for him outside the tent.
The two Liao people who followed Yang Yanhui into the customs had been forced aside by the Zamahe warriors.
Yang Qi looked at Yang Yanhui with cold eyes, Yang Yanhui didn't dare to look at Yang Qi, and turned his head slightly.
"What is she sorry for you?"
Yang Qi asked Yang Yanhui in a cold voice.
Yang Yanhui said in a trembling voice: "She didn't feel sorry for me, I was sorry for her." ”
Yang Qi's anger instantly surged into his heart, and he roared: "You know that you are sorry for her, why do you still treat her like this?" ”
Yang Yanhui lowered his head and said guiltily: "I don't want her to die alone because she is waiting for me......"
Yang Qi raised his hand angrily and wanted to give Yang Yanhui a slap, but his hand was halfway up and suddenly stopped.
He restrained the anger in his chest, pointed to the outside of Tongtai Pass, and said loudly: "You can go, my fourth sister-in-law has been worried about my Yang family brothers all her life, and it has nothing to do with you." Go back and tell Xiao Zhuo that I want it from Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. Either she ceded it to me, or I took someone to rob it myself. Other things will be discussed when I take the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. ”
"Peng Pai, send off!"
Peng Pai, who had been waiting on the side, hurriedly came to Yang Yanhui and made a gesture of please.
Yang Yanhui opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Yang Qi didn't give him a chance to speak.
Yang Yanhui led the two Liao people with a bitter expression, and was sent out of Tongtai Pass by Peng Pai.
Yang Yanhui left.
Several other brothers of the Yang family walked out from behind the military tent.
Yang Wu looked at Yang Er beside him angrily, "Second brother, why did you pull me just now?" Why don't you let me teach this unfortunate traitor a lesson? ”
Yang Er smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Yang Wu snorted coldly, turned his head and asked Yang Qi, "Seventh brother, why didn't you slap that slap just now?" How many more beatings should you give to your father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law? ”
"Hey......"
Yang Erchang sighed, flicked his sleeves, and left the vicinity of the military tent.
Yang San followed Yang Er's footsteps and left.
Yang Liu patted Yang Wu on the shoulder and left alone.
Yang Wu was a little dazed, not understanding what his brothers meant, he looked at Yang Qi with a stunned expression, "Seventh brother, this ......"
Yang Qi said lightly: "Prepare for battle!" ”
"Huh?!"
Yang Qi also left.
Yang Wu scratched his head with a sad face, "What do you mean?" Aren't you angry? Why is this the reaction? Who will explain to me why this is? ”
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Yang Wu followed Yang Qi's footsteps and shouted, "Seventh brother, wait, explain to me, what do you mean?" ”
After the brothers of the Yang family returned to their respective armies, they began to step up their preparations for war.
Yang Qi opened his mouth to the Liao State to ask for the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and his attitude was extremely tough, and he did not give the Liao people a chance to negotiate at all.
The Liao people are not soft persimmons, how could they give up the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to him because of Yang Qi's threat?
Zhao Guangyi's army of nearly one million Liao people is not afraid, how can he be afraid of the more than 400,000 horses under Yang Qi.
Outside Tongtai Pass.
Yang Yanhui returned to the Liao army's barracks in despair, and was then taken to the Chinese army's tent by the guards who were waiting in advance.
Inside the big tent of the Chinese army.
Empress Dowager Xiao was holding Xiao Yelusi in her arms, and the little emperor was sitting on the side, and the three of them were playing.
Yelu Hugo sat leisurely at the bottom, playing with a tiger talisman in his hand.
Seeing Yang Yanhui enter the tent, Empress Dowager Xiao put the little Yelu heir in her arms on the soft couch and asked the little emperor to play with him, and her phoenix eyes fell on Yang Yanhui.
With a flick of his wrist, the tiger talisman disappeared in his hand, and he also looked at Yang Yanhui.
"The lower officials see the Queen Mother, see Your Majesty, and see the greater than Yue."
"See the Queen Mother, see Your Majesty, see Greater Yue, see Lang Evil King."
The three envoys led by Yang Yanhui hurriedly gave salutes after entering the big tent.
Brother Yelu Xiu's eyes swept over the faces of the three of them, and he frowned: "The conversation is unpleasant? ”
The unpleasant looks of the three people were on their faces, and Yelu Hugo could naturally see it at a glance.
Yang Yanhui lowered his head and was silent.
Yelu Xiuge's henchmen heard Yelu Xiuge's question, and immediately roared urgently: "Queen Mother, greater than Yue, that Yang Yansi is extremely arrogant and domineering, and has no intention of making peace with our Daliao at all."
He also said that he wanted it in the sixteen states of Yanyun. Either we cede it to him, or he will grab it himself, and if he wants to negotiate peace, he will have to wait until he gets the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. ”
"Bang!"
Brother Yelu Xiu raised his hand and slapped the table, and said angrily: "Arrogant, he is not afraid of breaking his teeth?" Is it true that my Da Liao is a soft persimmon that he ravages? The king and the queen mother took pity on him for the sake of being the uncle of the Lang evil king, so they made peace with him. Does he really think of himself as a character? ”
"Uh-huh......"
Yelu Hugo's henchman nodded frantically with a look of adoration.
Empress Dowager Xiao was not angry, she frowned and looked at Yang Yanhui, and asked in a deep voice, "Yang Yanhui, what do you have to say?" ”
Yang Yanhui hesitated for a moment and shook his head slowly.
Empress Dowager Xiao's brows furrowed even tighter, she glanced at Brother Yelu Xiu, and nodded imperceptibly.
Yelu Hugo waved his hand domineeringly, and said, "You go down and wait first, this king wants to discuss with the Queen Mother about dealing with Yang Yanhe." ”
"Yes."
Yang Yanhui and the three of them left.
The anger on Jeruxiugo's face was swept away, replaced by a thick solemnity.
"Yang Yansi is going to take over the war against my Daliao from the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and invade my Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures."
Empress Dowager Xiao said with a solemn expression: "Yang Yansi is determined to be in Yanyun, and he has to force us to fight with him......"
Brother Yelu Xiu said with a heavy expression: "Although Yang Yansi is not easy to deal with, it is impossible for us to give Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to others. Since he wants to fight, let's fight with him, as long as he frustrates his sharpness, then it will be good to make peace with him. ”
Empress Dowager Xiao nodded and said, "For today's plan, this is the only way." Everything depends on the eldest brother. ”
Yelu Hugo beat his chest with one hand, and said with a straight face: "It is incumbent on me to be Da Liao." ”
Since the two most powerful people in Liao decided to fight with Yang Qi and frustrate Yang Qi's spirit, they no longer hesitated.
Immediately, Yelu Hugo came out of the big tent of the Chinese army, Mingjin pointed the general, and began to prepare for war.
Both sides are stepping up preparations for war, and the big war cannot be delayed.
At this time, Yang Qi leisurely entered the camp of the forbidden army soldiers who took refuge in him.
On the way here, Yang Wu had already equipped the soldiers of the forbidden army with the weapons that had been captured by the Liao army before.
Although these weapons were not as good as those of the Praetorian soldiers, they were better than them empty-handed.
After Yang Qi entered the barracks, someone recognized him, immediately shouted at everyone, and came over to salute Yang Qi.
"See Huhou for humble duties."
“……”
Everyone saluted Yang Qi together, and the scene was very spectacular.
Yang Qi waved his hand kindly, "Everyone is busy, there is no need to be formal." The leaders come here, I have something to talk to you about. ”
It didn't take long for several leading people to surround Yang Qi.
They stared at Yang Qi with blazing eyes, as if they were looking at their idol.
At the same time, their eyes were full of hope.
They knew that Yang Qi had declared war with the Liao State, so they hoped to be able to follow Yang Qi and take advantage of the shame of the disastrous defeat of Shuncheng.
There is nothing that will make them more indignant than revenge with their own hands.
Originally, they still resented Zhao Guangyi in their hearts, but since Zhao Guangyi's death, they have a lot less resentment towards Zhao Guangyi in their hearts.
Zhao Guangyi's mistake, Zhao Guangyi has already repaid it with his life.
Now it is left to collect debts from the Liao.
Yang Qi felt their hopeful gazes, and guessed their thoughts in his heart.
However, they were destined to take revenge in this battle.
Yang Qi took a deep breath and said, "I have one thing, please ask you to do it, I don't know if you can agree?" ”
Someone immediately said: "The Tiger Hou doesn't need to be polite to us, since we have already voted for the Tiger Hou, we should naturally listen to the Tiger Hou's orders." As long as it is a matter of fighting the Liao people, although the Huhou commands, it is our duty to wait. ”
The others nodded their heads in agreement.
Yang Qi sighed: "I'm afraid you won't be able to fight the Liao people for the time being. ”
The generals of the forbidden army frowned, and their faces were a little ugly.
Someone said in a deep voice: "Huhou looks down on us, thinks that I am not as good as the soldiers and horses under your command, and disdains to use us?" ”
Yang Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't mean to humiliate you, I have seen your skills, and they are only stronger than the soldiers and horses under my command." ”
"Then why didn't you let me wait to go to war?"
There is a straight-tempered person who asks directly.
Yang Qi said solemnly: "Because I have a more important thing that you need to do. ”
The generals of the forbidden army frowned, and looked at Yang Qi in unison, waiting for the following.
Yang Qi didn't hide it either, and said bluntly: "I hope you will return to Bianjing City again and help Zhao Defang take the throne." ”
"I can't say yes. Since we have voted for the Tiger Hou, we will naturally take the Tiger Hou as the head of the horse in the future, and will never return to the Great Song Dynasty. He will no longer be commanded to death by an emperor who does not understand military affairs. ”
"I can't wait to go back......"
"The throne of the Great Song Dynasty, it doesn't matter who sits with me."
"If the Tiger Marquis is interested in the throne of the Great Song Dynasty, I am willing to be a pawn and help you take the throne of the Great Song Dynasty. As for the others? I don't care, and I don't obey him. ”
“……”
The soldiers of the forbidden army were obviously resistant to returning to Bianjing.
As soon as Yang Qi's words came out, they were like barrels of explosives that had been ignited, noisily shouting and refusing.
Obviously, Zhao Guangyi's death, although it made them feel a lot less angry, but it did not completely disappear.
The soldiers of the forbidden army still have resentment in their hearts.
Yang Qi stopped their quarrel and patiently persuaded: "I feel inexplicable when everyone voted for me, but I, Yang Yansi, am not a selfish person. I can't selfishly keep you with me just because you are so strong.
Because your friends, clansmen, parents, wives and children, brothers and sisters are all in Bianjing City, or in a corner of the Great Song Dynasty, they are looking forward to your unloading and returning to the field.
You voted for me, of course, it is good, but have you ever thought about what to do with your parents, wives and children who were left in the Great Song Dynasty?
This time, I have helped you find a reason for you to return to the Great Song Dynasty and reunite with your parents, wives and children.
If you go back and see your parents, wives and children, and you are still willing to vote for me Yang Yanhei, the doors of my four northwestern prefectures will be open for you at any time.
When the time comes, you can take your parents, wives and children and settle down in the four northwestern prefectures under my rule. ”
After a pause, Yang Qi patted his chest, "This is my promise to you from Yang Yansi." Not only that, but all of you who brought your parents, wives and children to come and travel long distances along the way must cost a lot, and all the expenses will be borne by the four prefectures in my northwest. ”
Yang Qi clenched his fists and declared loudly, "I not only want to take in your people, but also your hearts. ”
The words of buying people's hearts were said by Yang Qi so openly, and the soldiers of the forbidden army not only did not feel disgusted, but shouted one by one.
"Tiger Hou Gaoyi!"
"Huhou is waiting for me everywhere, and it is I who blame Huhou's kindness."
"Huhou is kind to me, I remember it in my heart. Huhou doesn't have to worry about us, when we help Huhou defeat the Liao, he will return to the Great Song Dynasty, take his wife, children and mother, and go to the four northwestern prefectures to listen to Huhou's dispatch. ”
“……”
The men in the army are so cute.
They don't have so many fancy intestines, and whoever is good to them, they are honest with whom.
Yang Qi's purpose of encouraging them did not achieve, but it had the opposite effect, he smiled bitterly, and could only confess: "Everyone, I also have selfish intentions to persuade you to return to Bianjing City this time.
I'm sure many of you have heard of the attack on the Datong Mansion under my rule before.
That sneak attack caused great damage to the four northwestern prefectures of our country.
This time, I am fighting with the Liao State, and I have no time to separate, and if someone repeats his old tricks and attacks my four northwestern prefectures again, I will not be able to rescue.
I don't want my own people to stab me in the back while I'm fighting the enemy.
So I reached an agreement with Zhao Defang, I helped him ascend to the throne, he restrained the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, and did not attack the four provinces in my northwest. ”
Hearing Yang Qi say that he was fighting outside in a bloody battle and was stabbed in the back by his own people, the soldiers of the forbidden army were instantly aroused to have the same hatred for the enemy.
Because of this kind of thing, some of them have been in the past.
Yang Qi bowed to the soldiers of the forbidden army, "This time, I have entrusted the four northwestern prefectures to you, and I hope you will support you." ”
Someone was moved by Yang Qi's words, he stood up, bowed down and said: "Huhou trusts us and is willing to entrust his wife and children to us." We are willing to go to Bianjing City and help Huhou protect the four northwestern prefectures. I only ask Huhou to leave a little for me when he kills the Liao people. So that I can wait for the opportunity to take revenge in person. ”
"Willing to drive ...... for the Tiger Prince"
"I would like to listen to the Tiger Marquis......"
“……”
The generals of the forbidden army instructed Shi Li to express his position.
Yang Qilang laughed loudly, "Don't worry, I can't kill the Liao people, this time I only need the sixteen states of Yanyun in the Liao State." Next time, I will take you to Shangjing and rob the Liao people. ”
"Is this the agreement between the Tiger Marquis and us?"
"Exactly!"
