Chapter 103: Returning to Ambition

"General Yan! You've been under Chang'an City for a few days! Why the delay! You know, the Great Khan was very displeased! The envoy threw the wine cup in his hand to the ground abruptly, and the wine syrup was scattered on the ground, and the tent was suddenly filled with a burst of wine......

Yan Feng held the wine cup with an expressionless face, and waited until the envoy finished speaking, then he slowly took a sip and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, come here, fill it for the envoy." ”

A small school came up with a new lamp, skillfully poured another cup for the Hui envoy, and brought it to the Hui envoy with both hands.

"Don't do this!" Unexpectedly, the envoy not only did not take the wine cup, but shook his hand violently, and knocked the freshly poured wine to the ground.

Yan Feng's eyebrows moved slightly, but his face still did not change, and he taught the little school to pour a new bowl of wine for the Hui envoy.

"I have your emperor's handwritten edict here, which clearly orders the Shuo Fang army to capture Chang'an within ten days, and now you are delaying it again and again, what is the reason? General Yan is also known as a generation of famous generals, but he is afraid of the war, the generals of the Central Plains, is this the only guts? After saying that, the envoy took out a roll of apricot yellow silk from his arms, threw it in front of Yan Feng's case, and looked at Yan Feng with a mocking face.

Yan Feng looked at the edict in front of him, as if he hadn't heard the insult to him from the Hui envoy, "Honorable envoy, this is the edict written by the Tang Emperor, it is really inappropriate to throw it around like this." ”

"Hehe, I am happy, what can General Yan do to me? To tell you the truth, 30,000 Hui Jing cavalry is marching to Chang'an, when the time comes, let General Yan see the courage of the Hui warriors, General Yan can't take it, I will take it back to the Hui warriors. The Hui envoy snorted coldly, and the threat in his words was clear, and then he said: "You Tang people, if you want to take back your capital, you still have to borrow troops from our Great Khan, it's really ridiculous. ”

The words of the Hui envoy made all the Tang generals present angry, but Yan Feng still looked as usual, he had already understood the intention of the Hui envoy, and it was clear that he was here to humiliate the Tang army. He originally wanted to stab this arrogant Hui to death with a sword, but he knew that if he really couldn't help but kill this envoy in the tent, Hui Hui would have a reason to use troops against Tang. And at this critical time, there must be some reason for the Hui envoy to do this, Yan Feng couldn't help but calm down and think about it.

To say that this time in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China is still very dependent on the Tang Dynasty, later, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to the Hui rebellion every once in a while, the original intention is actually not to let the Hui out of the control of Li Tang, among them, Yan Feng has also participated in dozens of battles, large and small, the Hui people who died in his hands are countless, but in recent years, there have been frequent troubles in the country, to the time of the thief rebellion, the Hui has been completely out of the control of Li Tang, but the Tang Dynasty this civil strife, the Hui Turks joined the An camp, in order not to let the Turks take the opportunity to grow, So it was convenient for Li Tang to stand together in the position, but the purpose of the Hui was not really to help Li Tang rebel, so when the Tang army asked for help from them, the Hui lion opened his mouth and asked for countless money and food, where did the new emperor Li Heng, who had just succeeded to the throne in Lingwu, have money and silk to give the Hui people, and someone in the court gave the emperor a plan, saying that as long as the Hui people helped the Tang army to take down the two capitals, the property and money and grain in the two capitals were allowed to be claimed, the emperor thought about it, this plan was very good, the two capitals fell for several years, presumably the gold, silver, money and grain had already fallen into the hands of the rebels, Using these money and grain to lure the Hui to attack the rebels is really the best of both worlds, however, the Hui Great Khan is not stupid, and adds another clause to this condition, the population in the two capitals is at their disposal, which can make Li Heng quite uneasy, and some courtiers came to solve problems for the emperor, saying that the subjects in the two capitals were loyal to Li Tang's death, and those who fled, and the rest were already traitors, so there was no need to worry, just like that, the Hui people used 4,000 cavalry and Li Heng in exchange for an agreement that they could freely plunder the two capitals.

Sure enough, under the attack of the Tang army and the Hui cavalry, the main force of the An family left in Luoyang was wiped out, seeing that the recovery of Chang'an was imminent, but the Hui Khan had a different idea, he knew very well that if Li Tang succeeded in quelling the civil strife this time, then he would definitely not have a good time after returning to Hui, after this civil strife, Li Tang was greatly injured, but the vast land, the large population, it only takes decades to recover the vitality, and where should the Hui go when the time comes? Thinking of decades later, Hui Khan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he would never allow Hui Khan to fall into the control of Li Tang again, a vicious plan was formed in the mind of Hui Khan, it was necessary to destroy the Tang Dynasty in one go when Li Tang's vitality was greatly injured, and then it was not only the things of the two capitals that he could get, but also the Central Plains, and the achievement of the eternal emperor, such a future was enough to make the Hui Khan take risks, he ordered the gathering of the elite of the country on the one hand, and marched to the territory of Li Tang, on the other hand, he sent senior officials in the court to provoke the Tang army, After all, attacking Li Tang needed a reason. The reason that a noble envoy was killed by Li Tang's army was enough to persuade the lord and faction in the country, and to arouse the anti-Tang sentiment of the soldiers. Therefore, this envoy is destined to go and have no return, not to return to the Khan expected, there is no minister willing to go, after all, the higher the position, the more life-saving, however, the minister can not fight the king after all, the Khan caught a minister's family, threatened not to go to the death of all his family, if he goes, it will ensure that his family will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime, the minister has no choice but to obey the Khan's arrangement, send Li Tang, and according to the Khan's will, come to the front line of the Tang army, and do his best to insult and provoke. When a person has the heart to die, he has no fear to do things, leaving no way back, and after a humiliation, the faces of the Tang generals in the tent are extremely ugly, and the messenger seems to have been able to feel the burning killing intent in the eyes of the generals, and at this time he is shouting in his heart, kill me, kill me! However, when he looked at Yan Feng, his heart was stagnant, because this General Yan, who could decide his life and death, actually faintly appeared with a smile after listening to his ridicule.

"The meaning of the envoy, this general understands" Yan Feng got up, then turned around and pulled out the long sword behind him, and then stabbed straight at the chest of the envoy. The envoy of Hui suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, the task of this trip was completed, and then he did not dodge, raised his head and closed his eyes to die, but the next moment, there was no pain that pierced his heart, the envoy looked down and found that Yan Feng's long sword was actually stopped in front of his chest.

"The envoy has been trying to provoke General Ben since he entered the tent, I think, could it be that the envoy did it on purpose?" Yan Feng immediately put the long sword back into its sheath and said with a smile.

"Hmph, how is it possible for this envoy..." The Hui envoy obviously didn't expect to be seen through by Yan Feng

"Honorable envoy, don't say more, Liangjing is the place of my Tang Dynasty, naturally it will be taken back by my Tang army personally, as for what agreement your khan has reached with our majesty, it is not something that we soldiers can control, come here, send the envoy back!"

Outside the tent, two groups of heavily armed Shuofang soldiers walked in, and surrounded the Hui envoy and his retinue.

"I won't leave! General Yan! I'm afraid it's not appropriate to forcibly bomb me away! The messenger tried to make a final struggle.

"Oh yes" Listening to the words of the Hui envoy, Yan Feng immediately turned around, walked to the envoy, and said in a low voice: "Honorable envoy, there is a message I would like to ask you to convey to your Great Khan, Li Qi, the king of Jianning, has led 50,000 Zuolong Wuwei to the northern border of our court, so that he should not act rashly, but don't let the Turks have a chance at this time." Envoy, aren't you leaving? ”

"What? 50,000 dragon guards! What are you going to do? The Hui envoy exclaimed.

"Of course, it is to beware of the misdeeds of some small countries, left and right, send off guests, and make sure that our envoys return safely to the territory of Hui, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law!"

The twenty armor soldiers pressed the Hui envoy and a group of people out of the tent, and at this time, a partial general came to Yan Feng's side and said in a low voice: "General, His Royal Highness Li Qi obviously only led 3,000 Jianning guards to go, why do you call it 50,000 Zuolong Wuwei?" ”

"Soldiers are not tired of deceit, I don't say so, can the Hui people have any scruples? Even if it is fake news, it will take a while for them to find out, His Royal Highness Li Qi is very shrewd, and the three thousand Jianning Wei may not be able to exert the power of ten thousand people in his hands, and now he can only think of quelling the civil strife as soon as possible, after all, this civil strife has been too long... It's been so long that anyone dares to covet Li Tang's artifact. ”

After Yan Feng finished speaking, he let out a long sigh. (To be continued.) )
