Chapter 141: Liaocheng

The sword was in his neck, and through the placket of his clothes, Mingyue could even feel the coldness of the iron, but he didn't panic, looked up at the angry Tian Dan, and said lightly: "The kid just feels worthless for An Pingjun, Jun was in Jimo back then, turned the tide and helped the building to fall, but now he is losing his power." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info The kid was not angry in his heart, and said bluntly for a while, I hope An Pingjun will not worry about my son......"

He seemed to jokingly say: "What's more, if An Pingjun kills me or injures me here, and breaks the alliance between Qi and Zhao, I am afraid that King Qi will not let An Pingjun return to the country again." ā€

Tian Dan's heart palpitated, and then he put away his sword and sneered: "Ruzi? Chang Anjun still knows that he is a weak crown child? ā€

This little guy looks handsome, and he laughs harmlessly, but he almost single-handedly reversed the almost certain Qi and Qin Alliance, although it is also a borrowing momentum, but how can Tian Dan underestimate him?

"Thank you An Pingjun, the kid will take this as a compliment." Mingyue smiled implicitly, and then left the mat again, and bowed respectfully to Tiandan: "There is one more thing, the kid has admired An Pingjun's daughter for a long time, and he wants to marry her, and I hope An Pingjun will agree!" ā€

Tian Dan was a little surprised, he thought that Chang'anjun would wait until he arrived in Handan and then ask someone to be a matchmaker, but he didn't expect him to choose such a time and such a place.

Tian Dan squinted at him: "Chang'anjun is sincere?" ā€

The bright moon swears by the sky.

"Jun is the beloved son of the Empress Dowager Zhao, which princess can't marry, why do you have to be my Tiandan's daughter?" Tian Dan laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm a feudal monarch who is about to lose power, is it worth it......"

"The kid is not for An Pingjun, but for the gentleman herself."

After Mingyue took out the bamboo kite he gave to "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" from his arms, Tian Jia returned the sachet to him and said: "Qingqing Zijin, take care of my heart, I think the gentleman has the same mind as me, otherwise the vicious dog would have bitten me off the wall that night." ā€

Seeing that it was indeed a sachet made by his daughter, Tian Dan was a little moved for a while, with both the feeling that the woman was not left, and a trace of relief, but he did not express his position, but said:

"Chang'an Jun is so ignorant of Taoguang and has a great plan, how can I rest assured that I will hand over my daughter to you? What's more, although my Tiandan has lost power, it is also a hall of thousands of households, how can the marriage of children be so hasty, and it will not be a joke for the world to spread out, thinking that I want to cling to the Zhao royal family and sacrifice my daughter for glory, the son does not need to say much, this matter, let's talk about it later! ā€

This was the end of the conversation between the two, and for the next few days, Tian Dan ignored Mingyue Ai, just staring at him from time to time, thoughtfully, until they arrived in Liaocheng......

……

"An Pingjun!"

"I've seen An Pingjun!"

Liaocheng is located in the west of Qi country, on the shore of the Liaohe River, and it is also a military town in this area, with convenient transportation and vertical and horizontal ditches.

He found that when the local people saw Tian Dan's banner, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and they avoided it with a frightened face, and there were also people who hurried over, drove down to Tian Bike, and shouted his title.

In the country of Qi, Tiandan's prestige is extremely high, even the king of Qi can only look at his back, Mingyue they passed along the way through the Duyi market, whether it is a farmer, a businessman, a hundred workers, heard that An Pingjun passed by, all put down their work, came to the side of the road to cheer Tiandan. After looking at it all the way, Mingyue somewhat understood why King Qi was so jealous of Tian Dan, and if he was replaced as the king, he would not be able to sleep if he had such a minister who was popular with the people and had high achievements.

But in Liaocheng, it is a little different, in the eyes of the people, in addition to admiration, there is also a little fear, and some older women are even a little resentful......

Tian passed by the city with a blank face, didn't say anything, and when the evening came, when the sun was about to set, he suddenly shouted Mingyue and asked him to accompany him to the city for a walk.

Tian Dan seemed to be very familiar with this place, and after turning around, he took Mingyue and a group of private relatives to the city wall, and there was an inclined step on the inside of the city wall that could be climbed directly. On the way, they met several guards of the city who were sitting on the ground and playing, and Tian Dan silently watched them while they were happily shouting peace, and waited for them to finish a round before making a sound.

When they learned that the middle-aged man behind him who was not amazing was the famous Anping Jun Tiandan, the jaws of those soldiers almost fell off without being shocked, and they hurriedly kicked the things of the game aside, stood up straight with a spear, and trembled with their legs.

Tian Dan did not make things difficult for everyone, patted them on the shoulder, said a witty word to everyone, and passed through the fork they guarded, and climbed down the inclined ladder to the head of the city, on the way he said to Mingyue: "Back then, the five capitals of Qi have been recovered, but Liaocheng is still in the hands of the Yan army, I was ordered by the king to attack, and besieged this place for a year......"

Mingyue bowed: "I heard that it was Qi Yan's last battle." ā€

Tian Dan's words were true, and after arriving at the city head, which was not high, Mingyue found that although it had been repaired, there were still many ruins and broken walls on the east side of the city, and some of them were full of scorched black, which was the trace of the fire attack of the stone arrows.

Standing at the head of the city, a group of people can see the Luoshui flowing under the city in the west, like a clear jade belt, and the east is a stretch of fields, the people are busy with the autumn harvest, and the woods are gradually dyed in the distance.

Tian Dan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "At that time, the army stopped under the city, I looked up from below every day and night, and always felt that this city was easy to defend and difficult to attack, unattainable, and now standing at the head of the city and looking down, it seems that it is not so high, it is the most difficult hard battle I have encountered in my life, and my ability to attack the city is far worse than defending the city......

He pointed to the artificial walls in the farmland to the east, saying that they were actually the walls left over from the attack on Liaocheng ten years ago.

"The Qi army suffered heavy casualties, but this Liaocheng was not captured in the end, but relied on a letter from Lu Zhonglian, a famous scholar."

It turned out that Lu Zhonglian, a Qi man at that time, came to Liaocheng, and he wrote a letter, tied it to an arrow and shot it into the city, and sent it to General Yan. Lu Zhonglian was eloquent, and after General Yan Guo saw the letter, he was greatly touched and cried for three days, hesitating and unable to choose. If he returned to Yan Kingdom, he and King Yan Hui would already have a dislike and were afraid of being killed; If he surrendered to Qi, he had killed and captured many Qi people, and he was worried that he would be humiliated after surrendering.

In the end, the Yan general sighed helplessly and said, "It is better for me to cut myself with other people." So he committed suicide, the Yan army in Liaocheng was leaderless, and there was a big chaos, Tian Dan took the opportunity to enter the army and took the city in one fell swoop......

After this battle, the Qi army, which had originally returned from Jimo, was also like the end of a strong crossbow, and could not do anything against the northern land that was still occupied by the Yan State, and it has been delayed until today.

Some couldn't guess why Tian Dan wanted to accompany him, and why he wanted to mention the past, Mingyue was not in a hurry, and asked, "I don't know where Mr. Lu Zhonglian is?" ā€œ

Tian Dan said: "Lu Zhonglian is a strange person, the arrow book Liaocheng, I returned to Linzi to report this matter to the king, the king wanted to seal his title, Lu Zhonglian heard about it but absconded to the sea to live in seclusion, saying that he is not rich and noble and stoop to serve others, it is better to be poor and despise the world, and let his mind go." ā€

Mingyue praised: "I have a bit of Zhuangzi's ambition, but I always care about national affairs, I am really a strange person, but it is a pity that I came to Qi this time and failed to meet him......"

Tian Dan smiled coldly: "Lu Zhonglian, he may not like Chang Anjun." ā€

As he spoke, he turned his head and walked to the inside of Liaocheng City, pointing to the scattered and smoke-filled houses and said, "Chang'anjun, do you know what I did after I captured Liaocheng?" ā€

Mingyue was silent, and after a while, Tian Dan seemed to say to him, and said as if to himself: "I violated the agreement between Lu Zhonglian and General Yan in the letter, slaughtered all the Yan soldiers in the city, and built a Jingguan ...... At that time, these 5,000 Yan soldiers had been stationed in Liaocheng for ten years, intermarrying with the local Qi people, almost every Yan people, had a Qi wife, but I killed the killer and slaughtered their husbands! ā€

"After this incident, Lu Zhong broke off his friendship with me in anger, my wife is a Mo family, advocating both love and non-attack, and she hasn't spoken to me for several months, and then she became more and more worried and emaciated, and she died depressed and ......"

Tian Dan held on to the rammed earth city wall of Liaocheng, his eyes were deep, as if he saw the river of blood that day, and the city was crying.

"On that day, Chang'anjun asked me if I regretted going to Chengyang to ask the king to return to Linzi."

"As everyone knows, the only thing I regret in my life is actually the Massacre of Liaocheng!"

He clarified the truth, is this the reason why Liaocheng people respect and fear Tian Dan?

Mingyue was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't think An Pingjun is a person who loves to kill, why did he do this at that time?" Could it be because Liaocheng is an important town in the north of Ji, but it has already returned to Yan, and if you don't slaughter the Yan people, you will return sooner or later? ā€

"No other."

Tian Dan shook his head: "Just because of hatred, I can't control my subordinate generals and soldiers, they all have enmity with the Yan people, they have eaten sand and soil outside the city for a year, and they have long been red-eyed, and they also know that this is the last battle of Yan Qi, and if they miss this battle, it will be difficult to take revenge." So after entering the city, the soldiers searched for the Yan people everywhere, but anyone with a Yan accent was killed, killing ten to a hundred and thousands of people, and when I ordered a ban, it was too late, so I had to make a mistake and simply slaughter it cleanly......

"Why did An Pingjun tell me this?" Mingyue voiced her doubts.

"I just want to tell Chang'anjun that the soldiers are also fierce. Once you kill the red eye, you can't contain it, Chang Anjun has just planned a battle to cut down Yan, but you have thought about the consequences, how many Qi people, Yan people, and Zhao people have to die, and this war can end? Can Chang'anjun think about these things clearly? ā€

Mingyue looked at him left and right: "An Pingjun, how can I say that I planned this battle." Don't put the cart before the horse, it was the Yan State that first declared war on the Zhao State, and it was also the Yan State that sent assassins to kill me, in a vain attempt to drive a wedge between Qi and Zhao......"

Tian Dan laughed out loud at the head of Liaocheng City, pointed to Mingyue and said, "Chang'anjun, Qi is not without smart people. Do you think that no one can see that you fabricated evidence and testimony and framed Yan Guo? ā€
