Chapter 408: Blackmail
Walking on solid ice, from the south shore to the north shore, the distance is only 800 steps, but it is no less than the difference between heaven and earth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Wang Ningan has been to Liao twice, and he has also walked this road.
But at that time he was a guest, and this time, he was the conqueror!
No matter what, Wang Ningan had already sworn in his heart that he would give everything he had to get Yan Yun back!
When their men and horses just appeared on the north bank, a group of Liao cavalry was already waiting on the opposite bank, they had not been short of time, their noses and eyebrows were all covered with a layer of ice, and their two eyes and nostrils were like four black holes, funny and ridiculous.
When the people and horses of the Great Song Dynasty appeared, these people ran over.
"The minister has seen an angel!"
Angel?
And God back!
Wang Ning'an took a look, isn't the guy at the front Nerugu, everyone is an old acquaintance!
"Little prince, Ling Zun has already ascended the throne, didn't he canonize you as the crown prince?"
Nerugu's face was as pavery as a red cloth when asked, and the crown prince, he was not even as good as a mouse!
"Lord Wang, don't make fun of it, Xiao Wang is here to ask for help."
Wang Ningan clasped his ears and said very imagelessly: "Aren't you winning every step and marching forward?" I thought I was going to re-sign the Song-Liao contract? ā
Nerugu was even more embarrassed, he bowed down again and again, "Lord Wang, I have no form, I have offended Tianwei, I already know that we are wrong, we are ashamed and frightened, please don't mind Lord Wang, save us!" ā
At this time, Di Qing also rushed over, and several richly dressed Liao people bowed and bowed, and they almost bowed at their feet...... Di Qing felt that the stasis in his chest had disappeared a lot, and he rode forward.
"How's the war going?"
Nerugu didn't know Di Qing, and he was a little stunned.
Wang Ningan said: "Little prince, this is my Di Xianggong of the Great Song Dynasty, do you still want to hide it from him?" ā
"It turned out to be General Mianne!"
Nelugu blurted out, but fortunately Di Qing didn't care, he hurriedly said: "Now Xiao Lu's army is besieging Xifengkou, Yeluren first attacks Jiayuguan, and Yelu Hongji'er, personally commanding an army of 100,000, stormed Gubeikou, three places, three places are in danger, maybe at this time, it has been, has lost ......"
Di Qing's head buzzed, Xifengkou, Gubeikou, Jiayuguan, all three are important passes along the Great Wall, once the breakthrough is made, the army pushes down, and Youzhou has reached the point of life and death.
It's no wonder that Nerugu was so groveling and ran for help.
"Erlang, let's get to Youzhou as soon as possible."
Wang Ningan nodded, and he smiled at Nerugu again, "Little prince, you also know that our Great Song lacks horses, and with two legs, we can't run on four legs." ā
"Please rest assured, Lord Wang, we are ready."
Nerugu was very obedient, and directly let people rush to 20,000 fat and strong war horses, and the two of them also figured it out, no matter how much they sacrificed their lives and wealth, they were all prepared for Yelu Hongji.
It can save lives, let them do anything!
In fact, they figured it out earlier, and if they joined forces with Da Song earlier, it might not be just as simple as Yan Yun, maybe they could really overthrow Yelu Hongji at once.
And if the shadows they arranged were handed over to Wang Ning'an, it would not be the end in front of them...... But it's useless to talk so much.
Fortunately, after the fiasco, Chongyuan's father and son put away their tsundere, obeyed Da Song's words, and became the most well-behaved good boy, and even Wang Ningan was reluctant to bully them.
If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!
People, it's cheap!
Wang Ning'an and their starry night galloped, three days of hard work, they rushed to Youzhou City, seeing that the city was still flying the banner of Chongyuan, Wang Ningan let out a long breath.
At least Youzhou hasn't lost it yet!
It's just that the news has just come that Yelu Hongji broke through the Gubeikou, and the army went straight to Danzhou, and after Danzhou, it is Youzhou, and Yelu Chongyuan is already in danger!
"How many people are there in Danzhou?"
Chongyuan stretched out three fingers, and Di Qing breathed a sigh of relief, "There are still 30,000, which is enough to resist for a while." Wang Ningan didn't think so, "It won't be 3,000, right?" ā
Chongyuan cried, "Only, only three hundred!" ā
Burst!
The handsome guy Di is crazy, Yelu Chongyuan, you are a pig, Danzhou is the barrier in the north of the capital, just put 300 people, there is no difference from a discount.
After fighting a war all my life, I have never seen such a use of soldiers.
Wang Ningan waved his hand, he could see that Chongyuan's father and son had already been frightened, hoping that they would not make mistakes, it was like a dream.
"Di Shuai, it seems that the decisive battle in Youzhou is inevitable. Let's check the city defenses right away. ā
Di Qing nodded.
Chongyuan personally accompanied, Wang Ningan and Di Qing walked around Youzhou, they carefully examined it, did not let go of any details, after reading it, they unanimously came to a conclusion.
The city is a good city, and the people are terrible!
Youzhou was originally an important town, the city was high and the pool was deep, and in the hands of the Liao people, it was somewhat deserted. Later, the Great Song Dynasty made two northern expeditions, although the Liao State won the war, but they also felt the crisis, and the Empress Dowager Xiao was alive and had strengthened Youzhou. Wise and martial, the Empress Dowager Xiao, who did not let her eyebrows, may not have imagined that one day, the city she built would become a heroic city to deal with the Liao soldiers.
After Chongyuan took over the sixteen states of Yanyun, he spared no expense to build urn cities in the north and south of the city, and added two small cities with a radius of five miles to the east and west.
Seeing this, Wang Ningan and Di Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
"The money I have earned over the years has finally not been wasted!"
Chongyuan was said to want to find a crack in the ground to get into, depressed to death, Lao Tzu is also an emperor anyway, and he was taught a lesson like a grandson, and he can't live anymore!
He wanted to quarrel with Wang Ning'an, but in the end he endured it.
People under the low eaves can't help but bow their heads.
Although the city is well repaired, it needs the right people to defend it.
Wang Ning'an and Di Qing looked at it, and the defenders in the city had no fighting spirit at all, even if they were Chongyuan's cronies, their eyes were full of fear, and they didn't dare to look at people, and they were erratic...... This kind of look Di Qing is no stranger, when dealing with Western Xia, Song Bing is like this, once he is afraid, even if he has the advantage of troops, he will only be defeated, and it will be miserable.
"Erlang, do you have any ways to boost morale?"
Wang Ningan thought for a long time and said with a wry smile: "I have a bad idea. ā
Di Qing smiled, "A bad idea is also an idea, you just have to say it!" ā
Wang Ningan asked Chongyuan to be called, "Your Majesty, are the families of your brothers in the city?" ā
"In!"
Chongyuan said honestly: "Lonely, this is called putting death and then rebirth, if you don't hold these people in your hands, it's hard to guarantee that they won't be half-hearted......"
"Phew!"
Before he could finish speaking, Wang Ningan took a bite of him.
"You've got a paste in your head! I've never seen anyone so stupid! ā
Wang Ningan scolded, scolding Chongyuan was confused, how many times have I been scolded by you, am I so stupid?
"You don't want to think that these brothers are your siblings, your last hope, their family, your family! If you still threaten your brother with them, aren't you afraid that the big guy will be angry and fight back? Are there still fewer people who betray you? ā
Chongyuan smacked the taste, don't say it, there is some truth.
Now he doesn't trust anyone, he sees that anyone can betray him, they are all in a city, he wants to control his family, but what if someone snatches his family away, and then lets go against him?
"Lord Wang, you, what do you have in mind?"
"Idea? There is one! ā
Wang Ningan said: "Let people escort their families to the Great Song Dynasty, Tianxin is merciful, each family can get a subsidy of 200 yuan, and a piece of land will be issued to ensure that they live and work in peace and contentment." If Your Majesty wins, these people will return to the glory and wealth of the Liao Kingdom, and if Your Majesty unfortunately loses, they can still live safely in the Great Song Dynasty. Wang Ning'an pulled Chongyuan and said meaningfully: "Your Majesty, you have to tell the brothers that Yelu Hongji is cruel, if it falls into his hands, the children who are taller than the wheels will be cut down, and the women in the family will be robbed, the brothers have worked hard for many years, and they can't even leave a little blood and bones, right?" You can't still wear a green hat until you die, right? ā
Wang Ningan is compassionate and compassionate, as if he is a bodhisattva who saves suffering.
"Your Majesty, send people to the Great Song Dynasty as soon as possible, I will send the brothers to protect you, please rest assured, you will definitely take care of the big guys."
Yelu Chongyuan was so confused that he actually asked: "Lord Wang, that's tens of thousands of people, can you give millions of dollars?" That's generous! ā
Wang Ningan's old face flushed, "Your Majesty, money, it's just a bastard, you can still make money without it." At present, the Great Song Dynasty is not rich, don't you have a lot of money in the bank, take it out, and settle the brothers, isn't it just right! ā
"You?"
Yelu Chongyuan was almost mad, "Wang Ning'an, you give it to the villain!" ā
"Don't be angry, I don't take anything you scold now. Your Majesty, I just want to remind you, money or death? ā
"I, I'm ......" Chongyuan's face was purple and red, and his eyes almost popped out!
"Okay, surnamed Wang, I'll listen to you!" Chongyuan gritted his back molars and said viciously, his heart was bleeding.
"Hey, that's right, take your money and settle the brothers' families, that is also to buy people's hearts for you, don't worry, I won't rob your reputation."
Seeing Wang Ning'an flickering Chongyuan, Di Qing almost burst out laughing.
This kid can do anything!
The heart is black enough, and the hands are ruthless enough!
Any bad water can come out!
Bringing the families of the Liao soldiers to the Great Song Dynasty and giving them such good treatment is not the same as telling all Chongyuan's subordinates that you will fight to the death, and your family can have no worries about food and clothing. If you dare to surrender to Yeluhongki, your family will be the first to be unlucky...... Chongyuan tried his best to control the hostages, and all of a sudden fell into the hands of Da Song.
not only took advantage of others, but also swallowed all the heavy assets!
"Erlang, how much money does that grandson have?"
"That's the number!" Wang Ningan stretched out his index finger and thumb and shook it vigorously.
"Eight hundred-ten thousand! Have so much money? ā
"Just his own, Nerugu still has a small treasury!" Wang Ningan licked his lips and said with a smile: "Di Shuai, look at it, I have to squeeze these two to the bone marrow!" If we send troops, can we still lose money? ā
