The tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, and Daliang is ready to rest and recuperate for a while, but a gold medal urgent report from Hebei has made the military department operate again.

When Chao Yong arrived at the Chongzheng Palace, Lin Chong, the right attendant of the military department, and Lu Junyi, the left attendant, had already arrived in the palace.

Chao Gai saw Chao Yong coming, so he said: "What do you think of the emergency report from Hebei?" ”

When Lu Junyi, the left attendant on duty, submitted the emergency report to Chao Gai, he also sent someone to report to Chao Yong.

Chao Yong said: "The sixteen states of Yanyun were originally the land of my Han people, and now that the Han people in the north have come to vote, we naturally can't refuse." ”

Chao Gai nodded and said, "What you said is that it's just that the whole country has just decided, and farming has been greatly affected this year." The country's summer grain is still tight, and if you want to send troops, I am afraid that you will not be able to support too many soldiers and horses. ”

Lu Junyi said: "All the soldiers and horses in Nanjing Province of Liao State do not exceed 100,000, and they still have to defend Jinguo. We have received Zhuozhou and Yizhou, and Liao may not dare to attack. ”

Lin Chong nodded and said: "Ye Luchun has just died, Empress Dowager Xiao is the regent, Nanjing Dao will inevitably be unstable, and the Jin Kingdom is still eyeing each other, they must not dare to start a war on both sides." As long as we let the soldiers and horses of Hebei be stationed in Zhuo and Yi Erzhou, the Liao State will not dare to attack. ”

Chao Yong said: "The Han people came to vote, and we have no reason to refuse. You can first let Zhang Kai lead his troops into Zhuo and Yi Erzhou, and then send a general to the north to reinforce in case the Liao State invades. ”

Chao Gai patted the case and said: "Okay, then let Zhang Kai lead the troops to take over Erzhou." ”

Zhuozhou stayed in the house, after Guo Yaoshi received Li Chuwen's letter, he was also very moved, such as the situation is very clear today, the south of the Liang is like Zhongtian, the north of the Jin country is also like a wolf like a tiger, the Liao country is already in danger, no matter which country sends troops to destroy the Liao country.

He had also considered a way out, but he had been hesitant whether to invest in gold or Liang. The national policy of the Jin State is that the Liao officials who take refuge can still be officials, and those who lead the people to join the people can inherit the official positions from generation to generation. However, the military system of the Great Liang is that all the newly descended soldiers and horses who are overage must be disarmed and returned to the field. The rest will also be reorganized in Tokyo. That is to say, if he votes for the Jin country, he can still lead the original soldiers and horses, and if he votes for the big beam, he may still be able to command the soldiers and horses, but it will never be the original descendants.

Guo Yaoshi didn't want to give up his lineage, but he had seen the powerful firearms of Da Liang, not to mention that later Prince Da Liang invented a spaceship, which could bomb the ground from the spaceship. If he votes for the Jin State, Daliang and the Jin State border, and the Daliang soldiers are strong and strong. Jin Guo is a wolf-like savage, and it is unlikely that the two countries will back down in case of trouble, once the war starts, he will have to fight against the soldiers and horses of the Great Liang, and he really does not have the confidence to fight against the spacecraft firearms of the Great Liang.

After reading Li Chuwen's letter, Guo Yaoshi also made up his mind, Daliang swept the Central Plains in just one year, and it would not take much effort to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, and even it would not take long to sweep away the Jin State. Although the savages of the Jin Kingdom are like wolves and tigers. But there are more heroes in the Central Plains, and the girder has a spaceship firearm to press the array.

In troubled times, he can support his own troops, but the world is peaceful and prosperous. No dynasty would allow a general to have his own troops.

Da Liang has the ability to quickly sweep away the troubled times, so he doesn't have to dream of supporting the army and respecting himself, it is better to take the soldiers and horses to join the Liang State in exchange for wealth in the second half of his life.

Pharmacist Guo made up his mind. He sent people to invite Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, Zhao Heshou and others, the commanders of the Changsheng Army, to discuss the matter of returning to Liang.

The generals of the victorious army are all Han Chinese, and the situation is clear. Soon they all agreed to lead their troops back to Liang together.

After unifying the hearts of the people, Guo Yaoshi sent a staff member who could speak well to Hejian Mansion to contact the Hebei General Army, wanting to ask for some benefits.

As soon as the staff was dispatched, news came from Nanjing that Li Chuwen conspired to kidnap Empress Dowager Xiao and was beheaded for public display.

When Pharmacist Guo got the news, he immediately panicked, he only felt that Li Chuwen had hidden his hand, and he didn't know that it was Empress Dowager Xiao who vented her personal anger and framed Li Chuwen. On the one hand, he scolded Li for being inconsiderate, and on the other hand, he asked people to invite the commanders of the Changsheng Army to come.

When everyone arrived, Pharmacist Guo said: "Li Chuwen returned to Liang and was defeated, and he was killed by Empress Dowager Xiao. Most of the letters written to me by Li Chuwen have also been revealed, and I am afraid that there are already Khitan soldiers and horses or Xi soldiers and horses to arrest us. ”

Zhang Linghui said: "The dew will be dewed, we will simply replace the Daliang banner now, and Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi will not dare to attack us." ”

Others were in favor of replacing the flag immediately.

Seeing that people's hearts were available, Pharmacist Guo stood up and said, "Okay, then we will plant this land of the Han people with the banner of the Han people today." Zhao Heshou, you take someone to take Xiao Yuqing, the supervising army, and the others go to the barracks with me for a military parade. ”

Guo Yaoshi was originally born with a great shore, and these two sentences were even more eloquent, and all the Han generals responded with their fists in response.

"Yes."

"Yes"

When Guo Yaoshi took the generals to the military camp, and when he gathered the 8,000 Changsheng army in the school field, Zhao Heshou had also captured Xiao Yuqing.

When the generals in the school saw Zhao Heshou tying up the prison guards, they all felt that something was about to happen, and they all looked up at Pharmacist Guo on the platform.

Guo Yaoshi raised his hand to suppress the slight noise in the school field, and shouted: "Our Changsheng soldiers are all Han people who were unfortunately born in the north, grew up under the oppression of the Khitan people and the Xi people, and later worked hard for the Liao State and the Jin people. They all worked hard for the Liao State, but we were still oppressed by the Khitans and Xi people. They rode horses, we walked; They eat meat, we eat dry food, and we often run out of food. As soon as Emperor Tianxi died, Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi killed the Han people in Nanjing. They were afraid that the Han people would throw themselves into the beam and wanted to exterminate the Han people. Can we sit idly by? ”

"Can't"

"Can't"

"Can't"

The grievances that have been accumulated by the soldiers of the Changsheng Army were provoked by Guo Yaoshi's words, and they roared out one after another.

A flock of sparrows flying over the school grounds were scattered in all directions.

Guo Yaoshi raised his hand to stop the roar of Chang Shengjun, and said: "The Khitan and Xi people don't treat us as Liao, then we will take refuge in the Liang country, Daliang is the country of the Han people, with the protection of the Great Liang, we no longer have to be oppressed by the Khitan and Xi people." ”

Zhang Linghui immediately raised his arms behind him and shouted: "Return to the beam." ”

"Return to the Beam"

"Return to the Beam"

Guo Yaoshi saw that the big thing had been decided, so he asked people to raise the banner of the girder that was rushed.

There was no time to sew, so I could only write a big red beam character on black cloth.

After changing the flag, Guo Yaoshi sent people to report to Zhang Kai, the general army of Hebei, hoping that Zhang Kai would send reinforcements to prevent the Liao State from attacking Zhuo and Yi Erzhou.

In the Hejian General Military Mansion, Zhang Kai had just met with Guo Yaoshi's envoy and asked him to mobilize troops and horses to listen to the order. I heard that the envoy of Pharmacist Guo came to see him.

Zhang Kai let the envoy of Guo Yaoshi in, and said impatiently: "What reward will the court give you, the court has its own opinions, I can't be the master, and I can't promise you anything." I have sent someone to report to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to give you a generous reward, but whether it is allowed or not depends on the emperor's will. It's useless for you to come to me every day. ”

The envoy of Guo Yaoshi hurriedly said: "The villain is not bothering the adults because of this matter, just now General Guo sent people, and they have already raised the banner of Daliang and announced that Zhuo and Yi Erzhou will return to Liang." Ask General Zhang to send troops north to protect Erzhou. ”

Zhang Kai was also stunned, Pharmacist Guo's envoy was still talking about the conditions just now, not to mention the court's reply, that is, the people who sent the letter to the court had just left the city, why did Pharmacist Guo suddenly surrender.

Seeing Zhang Kai's hesitation, the envoy of Guo Yaoshi hurriedly added: "Li Chuwen has been killed, and I am afraid that General Guo's affairs have also been leaked, and the Liao State is likely to send troops to attack Zhuozhou, and I also ask General Zhang to send troops north to reinforce earlier." Otherwise, the Han people in Zhuozhou may suffer a great disaster. ”

Zhang Kai hesitated for a moment, and asked people to invite Zhu Tong, the deputy general of the Ma Army.

The previous time, Chao Yong repelled the invasion of Liao, let Zhang Kai sit in Hebei, and allocated 10,000 war horses for him to train cavalry. Zhang Kai dispatched military officers from the provincial capitals of Hebei to train troops immediately. It has been more than a year now, and he has also trained 10,000 cavalry.

The original 10,000 war horses have long been lost, all of them have been lost in the drill, and now the 20,000 war horses equipped by the cavalry are all bought by the imperial court from Ningxia Road and Qinghai Road.

Ningxia Lu Dong Ping, Yang Zhi, Mu Hong, and Lu Zhishen have all been replaced with cavalry. In addition to the 10,000 cavalry of the Huarong Department of the Beijing Division, the Central Plains is the 10,000 cavalry under the command of Zhang Kai of Hebei Road.

The 10,000 cavalry in Hebei is under the direct jurisdiction of Zhang Kai, with ten captains under his command. The most important thing to open is the beautiful bearded man Zhu Tong.

On the same day, Zhu Tong explained Song Jiang, and after being assassinated in Cangzhou, Chao Yong did not let Zhu Tong go up the mountain with that evil scheme. Zhu Tong has been listening to the Cangzhou prefect's mansion, and later Lu Junyi led his troops to capture Hebei, and Zhu Tong persuaded the Cangzhou prefect to surrender, so he became a thousand-commander in Cangzhou. When Zhang Kai called the military generals of various states, he heard that Zhu Tong immediately made a good big sword, so he transferred Zhu Tong to be the commander of the horse army. Later, because of Zhu Tong's good military training, Zhu Tong was promoted to deputy general of the Ma Army.

Zhu Tong rushed to the General Soldier's Mansion, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen General Zhang." ”

Zhang Kai nodded and said: "Zhuo and Yi Erzhou have already returned to my Liang, and the Liao soldiers of Nanjing Province may attack Zhuozhou, and I order you to lead 10,000 horse troops to Zhuozhou to deter the Liao soldiers." ”

Zhu Tong was puzzled: "Count the steps, I'm afraid that the documents of the imperial court haven't been issued yet, and the general army is afraid that he will be impeached if he crosses the border without permission." ”

Zhang Kai said with a smile: "The sixteen states of Yanyun were originally the land of my Han people, and the Changsheng army was all Han people, and the court documents must have let us take over Zhuo and Yi Erzhou, so we will take the first step to appease the people of Zhuozhou." You go, the court will ask about the crime, and I will bear it. ”

Zhu Tong saw that Zhang Kai was so resolute, so he also arched his hand and said: "If you have an order, the last general will definitely make the Liao soldiers dare not take a step beyond the Lei Chi." ”

In a short time, the 10,000 horse troops stationed outside the city rolled up the dust and headed north.

Zhuozhou is only more than 100 miles away from the Xijin Mansion in Nanjing, Liao, and the news of Guo Yaoshi's change of flag soon spread to Nanjing.

Empress Dowager Xiao hurriedly convened hundreds of officials to discuss countermeasures.

When the hundred officials heard that they often won the rebellion, they were also flustered.

Xiao Gan said: "At the beginning of Emperor Tianxi's accession to the throne, I said that you should not trust the Han people, and you should use Xi people or Khitan people as commanders. Emperor Tianxi didn't adopt it, and still let Guo Yaoshi lead the Changsheng army, but now it's the opposite. ”

There are still many Han people among the hundred officials, and when they heard Xiao Gan say this, they couldn't help but be a little indignant, but Xiao Gan was domineering, and no one dared to speak out.

Empress Dowager Xiao saw that Xiao Gan put the blame on her deceased husband, and couldn't help but be displeased: "Emperor Tianxi also sent a prison army to him, that is, he sent Xi Ren as the commander, how can he suppress all the Han people." ”

Yelu Dashi saw that the two were about to quarrel again, so he hurriedly came out to play a round and said, "Zhuozhou is only more than a hundred miles away from Xijin Mansion, and we have to come up with a countermeasure earlier." ”

Xiao Gan said: "It's not the first time that the Changsheng army has rebelled, and sending troops to destroy them is, what is there to discuss." ”

Yelu Dashi said: "The Changsheng army has voted for the Great Liang, if we attack Zhuozhou and attract the Great Liang soldiers and horses to the north, we will have to fight on two fronts." ”

Xiao Gan was just straightforward and fast-talking, not stupid, and immediately frowned when he heard the words.

Empress Dowager Xiao saw that Xiao Gan was stopped by Yelu Dashi, so she also said, "How does Dashi Linya think we should deal with it?" ”

Yelu Dashi thought for a while and said, "Daliang has always had the heart to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, so he has always refused to demarcate the border with my Daliao. The state of Liang has unified the Central Plains. The prince of Daliang also returned from the southern class, and now that the Changsheng army is rebelling, Daliang may also take advantage of the situation to go north to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”

Rao is Xiao Gan was arrogant, and when he heard Yelu Dashi's analysis, he couldn't help but change his face.

Empress Dowager Xiao hurriedly said: "Then what should we do?" ”

Yelu Dashi said: "The power of the beam's firearms is huge, and there are spaceships that can attack from the sky, if we go north, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to block it, so we must not take the initiative to provoke the beam." As for the rebellion of the Changsheng army, I thought it would be best to send an envoy to Tokyo. Ask Daliang for the return of the two states and the rebels. ”

Empress Dowager Xiao wondered: "How could Da Liang return the city in his hands to us, not to mention that they have always regarded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as theirs." ”

Yelu Dashi said helplessly: "You can't get it back, but we treat each other politely, and it's not good for Daliang to send troops north to attack us again." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao said: "What does Dashi Linya mean to exchange Zhuo and Yi Erzhou for Daliang not going north?" ”

Yelu Dashi shook his head and said: "Prince Daliang is warlike, and sooner or later he will send troops to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun, but I just hope that Daliang can be temporarily delayed, and don't let Daliang take advantage of this victorious army to rebel and go north." When the King of Qin came to Nanjing Road with soldiers and horses, the beam would go north, and we should be able to resist it when we joined forces. ”

In fact, Yelu Dashi is also thinking in the best direction. The king of Xiangyin and the king of Qin were both in Jiashan, and if they brought troops to Nanjing Road, they had to pass through Xijing Road, which was occupied by Jin soldiers. Whether the King of Qin can lead his troops to rush through the Jin soldiers' interception is a big question. Even if the King of Qin came. If they join forces, they may not be able to block the soldiers and horses.

Although there are many problems, Yelu Dashi is still unwilling to sit idly by and watch the Great Liao perish.

Empress Dowager Xiao was not greedy for power, especially the power of the Liao State, which could fall at any time. She also wished that King Qin would take over this mess. In her heart, she had already agreed with Yelu Dashi's suggestion, but she also knew that it was Xiao Gan who could call the shots now, so she had to ask, "What does King Xiao think?" ”

Xiao Gan was also afraid of the beam's firearms and spaceships. After a slight hesitation, he said, "I have no opinion." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao turned her head to Zhang Lin again and said, "What does the master mean?" ”

Zhang Lin is also a Han Chinese, and now Xiao Gan and others obviously don't trust the Han people, he is ready to go back and go back to the sick at home, not asking about political affairs, seeing that the Empress Dowager Xiao asked, he said: "The minister thinks that the plan of the big stone forest is not unsafe." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded and said: "Since the three important ministers all said this, then send an envoy to Tokyo to ask for the return of Erzhou, who can be the envoy?" ”

Xiao Gan said: "Didn't Dashi Linya go to Da Liang some time ago?" Da Shi Linya and Prince Da Liang also have some friendship, why not send Da Shi Linya south? ”

When Yelu Dashi heard this, he immediately said: "I have been feeling a little unwell recently, but I am afraid that after going south, I will not adapt to the water and soil, and my condition will worsen, and I will miss a major event." ”

Xiao Gan is a domineering man, and the soldiers and horses under his command are dominant, but he is afraid that Xiao Gan will make trouble after he leaves, and completely destroy Da Liao.

Empress Dowager Xiao also felt that without Yelu Dashi, she couldn't suppress Xiao Gan, and nodded: "Since Dashi Linya is unwell, let's choose someone else." Who wants to go south? ”

The officials looked at each other, but no one was willing to send an envoy.

Both the Khitan and the Xi people felt that they couldn't convince Da Liang, and they were just angry when they went south, who was willing to come out to receive this errand.

The Han people have to avoid suspicion, so as not to be accused of returning to Liang in the future.

Empress Dowager Xiao waited for a while, looked at the hundred officials, and stared at Yu Zhongwen, the governor of the political affairs, and said, "Yu Qing is proficient in Han culture, is she willing to be an envoy?" ”

Yu Zhongwen, the governor of the political affairs, saw the name of the Empress Dowager Xiao, so he had to come out and say: "Weichen is clumsy, and he has no experience in envoys, so he is afraid that he will miss a major event." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled: "If Yu Qing is clumsy, then Da Liao will no longer be able to speak well." This trip is related to the fortunes of the Great Liao, and it must be an eloquent person like Yu Qing, and I hope that Yu Qing will not refuse. ”

Yu Zhongwen saw that the Empress Dowager Xiao said this, so he had no choice but to give up his hand and say: "The Empress Dowager values it, and the ministers are willing to serve the dogs and horses." ”

Empress Dowager Xiao dispersed hundreds of officials, and asked people to prepare generous gifts for Yu Zhongwen and his party, which can be said to have a very low attitude.

After Chao Yong gave Hebei an order to send troops, he sent Lin Chong to lead 30,000 people from Shi Xiu, Liu Tang, and Suo Chao to the north and stationed in Zhuozhou.

Lin Chong swept away the battle of Wang Qing, and only the desperate San Lang Shi Xiu, the red-haired ghost Liu Tang, and the urgent pioneer Suo Chao grabbed the great merit and were promoted to generals, and then Wang Qing led his troops to surrender. Shan Tinggui, the general of the holy water, Wei Dingguo, the general of the divine fire, Shi Jin, the nine-tattooed dragon, and others were one step slower, and they were still captains.

The Liangshan veterans under Lin Chong and Lu Junyi have basically dispersed to the new army as officers, and the two have been promoted to the squire of the military department, and they will no longer lead the troops.

A few days after the army set out, news came from Hebei that the Liao State would send an envoy to Beijing to discuss the matter.

On 16 July, the Liao envoy and his entourage entered Tokyo.

Daliang had already transferred civil officials from Hebei to Zhuo and Yi to appease the people.

Chao Gai met with Yu Zhongwen, but once again stated that the sixteen states of Yanyun were all Han lands, and there was no question of ownership in Zhuo and Yi prefectures.

Earlier, the Liao State knew that it was impossible to get back Erzhou, and Yu Zhongwen grinded for a few days, and then asked Daliang to agree to establish the King of Qin as the lord of Liao, and Liao was a vassal to Daliang.

Chao Gai agreed to make Liao a vassal, but wanted Liao to return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

Several state capitals in Xijing Road in Yanyun's sixteen prefectures have fallen into the hands of the Jin people, and the remaining Nanjing Dao Prefecture is also the only remaining anointed place in the Liao State, how dare Yu Zhongwen agree to this.

I stayed in Tokyo for more than ten days, and finally returned in vain. (To be continued......)
