Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 63 with the King (1)

In March of the fifth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, a dazzling political star of the Great Song Dynasty rose in Yanjing City.

Xiao Yan, who returned to the south, broke Xiao Gan, Ke Yanjing, defeated Jurchen, and finally captured and killed Yelu Dashi, who was in turmoil. Its military exploits are so thick that since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has caught up with Cao Bin, the founding general of the Southern Tang Dynasty who broke Shu a hundred years ago.

At this time in the Great Song Dynasty, if you are rewarded for meritorious deeds, Xiao Yan will be transferred all the way up in the Wuchen shift, and the rank will be sent to Lu, given to a remote county observer, and even a slight envoy all the way, plus the title of the same school as the opening of the palace, although it is already not secondary, it is just enough.

However, Xiao Yan's shift is still attributed to Wenchen. As soon as the edict was issued, Xiao Yan had suddenly been promoted to Jilu as a member of the Xianmo Pavilion, and he was an out-and-out member of the fourth grade. Career plus secretary supervisor Lang. Such a noble official position, the Great Song Shi Doctor sang by Jin Mingchi, how can he get it without the ups and downs of the sea for one or two decades? Although Xiao Yan has not yet been sent clearly, it seems that he intends to wait for him to return to Bianliang, observe and think about it, and then place it. However, this is from the official position of the four products, plus the post of the pavilion, and the release is enough to know a house, and it has to be a very important dispatch to walk the capital, once Xiao Yan gets the dispatch of the Privy Council as he wishes, at least it is also a matter of the same Privy Council, and he is already able to counsel the confidential status

It's so thick that it's jaw-dropping. But for those who know the inside story, it's still reasonable. is not generous enough to reward Xiao Yan, how can he show the mistakes of the Tong Guan Wang Huang who suppressed him that day? There is nothing wrong with Tong Guan Wang Huang, how can her husband be a logical repetition? At this time, Xiao Yan was promoted, also because of the Bianliang trend. For the high-ranking princes of Bianliang, no matter how fast Xiao Yan is promoted, it is also something that can be manipulated at will in the palm of his hand, after he returns to Bianliang, he is even more under everyone's noses, to toss him, at any time, it depends on whether Xiao Yan is interested or not.

Having said that, no matter how interesting Xiao Yan is, he clutches her husband's thighs. He is a person who has returned to the south, and this power position is almost at the top. The husband can use him, and he will never reuse him. From now on, I am afraid that I will be up and down in Bianliang Dumen, and I will no longer have the majesty and pride of going back and forth in Yandi.

Those who can see through the heart, the entire Great Song Dynasty is just a few top dozen people. At this moment, the others were still dumbfounded by the status that Xiao Yan had reached at this moment. Those who are hot will stammer, and those who are sour will say resentful words behind their backs. Xiao Yan really rose too high and too fast, and the generals of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army he led, the same over-migration was not so noticeable.

Han Shizhong, as the left deputy capital of the first army, Yu Marquis, this time, also moved to Wuzhou Observation Envoy, is the military attache of Wupin Jilu, and the post of Xuanzan Sheren in the Cabinet Gate, and was sent as the commander of the Shenwu Changsheng Army. It's kind of correcting his position.

Yue Fei was originally the right deputy commander of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and he was also transferred to the command of the Tianwu Xiangdu, and he was sent as the commander of the Wupin Jilu military attaché, and was sent as the commander of the Shenwu Changsheng Army and Han Shizhong's deputy.

Zhang Xian, the head of Xiao Yan's guard, also got the Jilu military attache of Zhengliupin, and was sent as the commander of the Shenwu Changsheng Army and the horse army, and Niu Gao was the deputy. Since Zhang Xian and Niu Gao surrendered, Tang Huai, Wang Gui, Yu Jiang, etc., together with those who came from the Shengjie Army and the Baiqi soldiers who were victorious on a daily basis, they were all promoted. Shenwu Changsheng military class teacher Bianliang, as expected, was classified into the Sanya moderation. From a mixed group of soldiers and horses, it has become the central forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty. Xiao Yan's original name of controlling the Shenwu Changsheng Army was naturally canceled.

In addition to them, Ma Kuo and Fang Teng, who were all along with Xiao Yan, were also rewarded for promotion. Since Ma Kuo was injured, Xiao Yan's unscrupulous behavior has been seen in his eyes, and Xiao Yan has hated Tong Guan, and Ma Kuo has been deeply favored by Tong Guan. Since then, he has been depressed a lot, but this time he has not forgotten him. Ma Kuo was also promoted from the fifth grade of Jilu and got a post, but the dispatch was changed to the commander of the first army under the Huanqing Army, which had been defeated, which was officially parted with Xiao Yan. Included in another military line.

Fang Teng was originally the foundation of Jinshi, and he originally had the Jilu of the seventh grade. This time, he was even more involved in the old army as an envoy of the husband's minister. Although this Lord Xiao Fang later teamed up with Xiao Yan to betray another set of wind and clouds, thunder and lightning. But the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty now pays attention to forming a party, and the husband is a member of the party, how can he not take care of it. Immediately sat down and promoted to the rank of Zhongsan Doctor Jilu from Wupin, who was also the secretary and supervisor of the Lang Pavilion, and like Xiao Yan, he had not been sent for the time being, and he waited for Bianliang to speak again.

In addition to Xiao Yan's small group, the three armies of the Western Army are also rewarded. The old official position has reached the peak of the military ministers, and this time the honorary title of the opening of the palace and the three divisions was added, and the small species learned that the Privy Council was honored, Yao Gu added the title of Jiedu, Yang Keshi added the title of Jiedu, and Wang Yu added the title of Jiedu. Except for Wang Yushi's dispatch to the head of the Huanqing Army, the generals still led the original army. His subordinate generals are all over-relocated.

In the 100,000 army in Yanjing, in addition to the generals, the envoys in the army were rewarded with 20 times, and the soldiers were rewarded with 10 times. In addition to the Shenwu Changsheng Army and the Huanqing Army, which had been beaten to pieces, immediately transferred to Bianliang and praised their merits when they heard the edict. The Xihe army was stationed in Daimyo, the Qin Feng army was stationed in Zhending, and the Jingyuan army was temporarily stationed in Yandi to wait for the future.

The people of Yandi, Shangyi pity their more than a year of repeated fire, and returned to the Great Song Dynasty at the beginning of the year, Jin Ou was unified, and Tejiaen was restored for ten years, so as to raise his vitality.

A will, all aspects, all the qiē are counted as the beginning and the end, and the arrangement is stopped. This war, which lasted for nearly two years, involved the three countries, and killed and wounded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, finally came to an end.

In Yanjing City, the cattle were killed and the wine was suddenly killed, the three armies celebrated together, and the generals celebrated their achievements. The armies that received the order to set out their camp prepared their own preparations, and when the celebration had passed, they set out on the road.

For such a celebration, Xiao Yan is naturally the protagonist of the protagonists, and I don't know how many invitations he has received. Some of them are hypothetical stories, and some of them really want to talk to this Lord Xiao. However, Xiao Yan had very little entertainment, except for setting up a banquet to entertain the angels of Bianliang, and having two banquets with the above generals of the Xihe Army of the Jingyuan Army, at other times, they were all in their own army, and they didn't know what to do. People who don't have any malice towards Xiao Yan are just laughing at Xiao Yan's behavior, from now on, maybe this Lord Xiao should take a fight, as long as the love of sharing weal and woe in Yandi is still there, he will still be able to speak in the future. And the people who are worried about Xiao Yan's heart, such as Yao Gu, are just watching from the sidelines, Yanyun's major affairs have been decided, don't have any more troubles, and the future will be talked about in the future. You Xiao Yan is in Bianliang, not necessarily as beautiful as in Yanjing

After the edict was announced to the armies, this celebration was disturbed, and more than ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and the day of Bianliang, the division of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, was just around the corner.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and dozens of majestic horses galloped on the road outside Yanjing City. Immediately, the knights were all wearing armor, but the outside of the armor was covered with brightly colored brocade robes. In the spring weather of Yanjing, it is dazzling and meteorological.

These dozens of knights were surrounded by a young man with a white face and beard. He was very tall and slightly thin. Originally, he should have looked like a well-mannered scholar, but he was also wearing a soft armor and a brocade robe, and the skin on his face had been beaten a little rough by wind and frost, and his cheeks were slightly unshaven, and he was swarthy and coarse and hard. Riding on a horse, the posture is agile, the reins are firmly controlled, and the natural ups and downs with the gallop of the war horse are like a commander of an army leading thousands of tigers.

This person is naturally Xiao Yan, the most dazzling figure in the land of Yanyun now. Beside him, there was a sturdy young military attache with a somewhat sick face, about thirty years old, following Xiao Yan, just looking back and not saying a word. It was precisely because he had recovered Ma Kuo, who was injured in Danzhou that day, and now he was about to leave Yanjing and rush to the Huanqing Army to perform his duties. Xiao Yan originally wanted to keep him with him, but Ma Kuo insisted on refusing, saying that he was already a general of the Huanqing Army, so why didn't he take his own people back to the division? In addition, after the defeat of the Huanqing Army, he needed someone to rectify it, so he went a day early, and he also retained a little vitality for the Great Song Huanqing Army.

Xiao Yan couldn't, he had to send it in person, in addition to Han Shizhong, his important subordinates such as Fang Tengyue Fei, etc., thinking of the love of living and dying together with Ma Kuo in Gubeikou, also rushed to send him off. Originally, Yue Fei also persuaded Han Shizhong to come, but Han Shizhong waved his hand with a big grin: "I have no friendship with Ma Du, and I won't have anything to do with it in the future, our Shenwu Changsheng Army has become an army of its own, and there is no benefit in climbing indiscriminately, so I don't want to go to Old Han, Pengju will give me an extra copy when he sends Cheng Yi, and it will cover my face, so that's it."

Han Shizhong is the kind of person who is rough on the surface and meticulous in his heart, he is from the old Western Army. Now that Shenwu Chang Shengjun and Xiao Yan have formed their own system, if they are too deeply involved with people from the old Western Army, it will be a good thing to say for the superiors. This is naturally avoidable for him, and Yue Fei also somewhat understood his intentions, so he did not continue to persuade him.

The group went out of Yanjing City to the south, and it was ten miles in a blink of an eye, Ma Kuo was silent, and the others also had their own concerns, so they were silent all the way. Seeing that it was already some distance from the city, the horse stretched the reins violently, the war horse neighed, and the group turned half a circle. Xiao Yan also reined in his horse at the same time, and dozens of horses behind him also stopped their horses, and dozens of horses shook their heads and neighed, and suddenly a lot of dust and smoke rolled up.

In the dust and smoke, Ma Kuo said angrily: "Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end." Lord Xiao is gracious, and I have received it. That's it, let's meet again in Bianliang on the other day, I naturally want to be the east to invite Lord Xiao, everyone is a minister of the same court, and the days of closeness are behind. I'm afraid that in the future, Lord Xiao will not look down on me Ma Kuo"

Xiao Yan's expression was faint, and he didn't know what he was thinking. After Ma Kuo's illness, his complexion was not good, and Xiao Yan did not necessarily have the spirit to go. There is no other reason, these ten days have been too busy Lao Chong said in the account with Xiao Yan that day, and the four strategies are the same as what he and Fang Teng calculated. In addition to planning the privy envoy and Mei Shang to wait for the return to Bianliang, the other ten days have to sort out the clues, how many things are there

The first is money, recovering Yanjing, Xiao Yan can be regarded as making a fortune. But how many are there and how much of a cause they can support, they have always been in the army, and they have not had time to count them. In the past ten days, I have to spend at least half a day every day to count how much net worth Xiao Yan has. After more than ten days, I finally counted some eyebrows, recovered Yanjing, and captured from those high-ranking families, there were more than 600,000 floating wealth such as gold, silver, copper and coins, and the heroes and heroes in various places reported their effects, and the grain and grass were naturally consumed, and the money was also 70,000 or 80,000. Defeated Xiao Gan's entire army, defeated the Jurchen army, and defeated the Yelu Dashi Fuliao army, all of which were captured. In particular, the Jurchen Army and the Fuliao Army both like to bring money and wealth to the army, and they also have floating wealth of two or three hundred thousand. Adding up to the money and goods that can be used at any time is already a million guan, as for the 10,000 guan given by Tongguan in Xiongzhou that day, there is no need to think about it.

In addition to these millions of guan, Yanjing's antique artifacts, calligraphy, paintings, furs, etc., were also seized. It's not clear how much these things are worth, and they have to be sold one after another in the Song Dynasty to figure it out. The Liao people in Yandi have accumulated for a hundred years, even if they have lost a lot of losses because of the prolongation of the war, what fell into Xiao Yan's hands is a rather staggering number. If it is sold, even if it is discounted, it is estimated that there will be two million yuan.

Three million pieces of goods is already a staggering number for an individual. However, for Xiao Yan's future plans, it is far from the way he can think of now, that is, horses and fur. How much income can be made in a year, now Xiao Yan and Fang Teng are also bottomless.

When it comes to horse and fur income, it comes to the second matter. Now that the Shenwu Changsheng Army is nominally not under Xiao Yan's command, Yan will send Liuguan to govern in the future. But the Shenwu Changsheng Army was pulled up by Xiao Yan single-handedly, and now he has not returned to Bianliang, the affairs of the Shenwu Changsheng Army are not Xiao Yan's decision?

In the future, Yandi will send the Great Song Liuguan to be a joke. In real history, after the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun, although the imperial court selected all the officials, but the real arrivals were only less than one percent. The officials who arrived were even more coerced by Guo Yaoshi and other town generals, or local tycoons, and the government decrees did not come out of their official offices. Until a few years later, when the Jurchens moved south, the Great Song Dynasty did not establish effective rule in Yandi. Xiao Yan wanted to leave some soldiers and horses, and actually control a little territory, which was simply a very easy thing. After he left, the Jingyuan Army of the old seed was temporarily stationed in Yandi, and the old seed and Xiao Yan already had a tacit understanding, how could they take care of Xiao Yan's business?

If you want to control what territory, there is no doubt that it is Danzhou. Xiao Yan and Fang Teng chose this place without even hesitating. Danzhou is in the northwest of Yanjing, and the Yanjing prefect sent by the Great Song Dynasty in the future will also be beyond the reach of the whip. Moreover, Danzhou is the longest-running business of Xiao Yan Fangteng, and the local heroes have all returned to their hearts, and their children have served in the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and they have been initially integrated into Xiao Yan's group. It is also the most convenient and handy. Danzhou is close to the Great Wall, and the west is not far from the key passes in the east of the river. Not to mention that Danzhou controls the border land of Youyan, and at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, it is the place where horses rest, and the Song Realm lacks horses, which can be continuously supplied, and it is also a good source of wealth

After choosing Danzhou, it is necessary to choose the people who will stay behind. The origin of the Shengjie Army and the White Banner Soldier naturally does not need to be considered. They are all from the army of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is no problem to fight hard with Xiao Yan, but there are more worries about doing such unscrupulous things. Fortunately, there are still a large number of people from the Changsheng Army under Xiao Yan, who have been staying in Yujiang, Danzhou, and he is a suitable person. Those who stay here can't make trouble in a few years, and can only silently expand their strength. Yu Jiang was originally a person with a somewhat slimy personality, and he was not young, he was very down-to-earth and steady, which was very suitable. As for Yu Jiang is already on the military register, Yan Yun has decided that Yu Jiang was born in Yandi, and he is willing to use his original title to raise his hometown and send it away. The Great Song Dynasty has redundant officials and redundant soldiers, and will only dislike more officials, and will never dislike one less official

Shenwu often wins the army, Xiao Yan reported 10,000 soldiers, 4,000 horse troops, and 6,000 infantry troops. The actual figure is that the horse army is in the early 5,000s, and the infantry army is more than 8,000. If you don't make a sound, you can leave two or three thousand people and horses in Danzhou, and Yandi will have nothing to do for a few years, and these people and horses are enough to pacify.

Xiao Yan had already sent a horse to summon Yu Jiang to come, and it was only a matter of the past two days to get here. After arranging the strength of Danzhou, it was time for Xiao Yan to leave.

These things are by no means easy to do, and they involve a thousand things. These days, Xiao Yan is really not hypocritical, he doesn't go to those celebration banquets, he is really busy, and he sleeps for two hours at most every day. The complexion is naturally not much better, today for the horse to see off, riding the horse in the Yandi spring field galloped for a while, but to loosen the muscles and bones, feel a lot more energetic. Hearing Ma Kuo's resignation, Xiao Yan smiled faintly and said: "Brother Ma is serious, you and I, since the Baigou Hebei crossing, have lived and died together until now, if it weren't for Brother Ma's hard work in Danzhou, would he be able to expel the Jurchen Tartars from the border, and it is still undecided, what are you doing at this moment?" Send you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end, you and I are good men, don't be reluctant, Brother Ma has a good way to go, I wish Brother Ma a bright future in the Huanqing Army, and make great achievements"

He clapped his hands, and the two behind him rode up, both with a large package in his hand, the package was heavy, and it was full of yellow and white things. Ma Kuo was a poor official, so he relied on military salaries to eat. When I first got a real job in the army, the cost was not small. Xiao Yan will naturally not be stingy when he makes a move, and getting these Cheng Yi will naturally be of great benefit to him in the future of the Huanqing Army.

Ma Kuo looked at the two packages, shook his head and smiled: "Lord Xiao, I don't need these things." A head and two arms, what to do with the heart is to spend money on sports up and down, make friends with the Quartet, this official should also be aggrieved, the court is paid, I will not die of hunger, Lord Xiao has a kindness, I will thank you. ”

Behind Xiao Yan, several mink hats all guarded with uncertain expressions on their faces. This Ma Kuo insisted on going to Gubeikou that day, but it led to a big change, Xiao Yan tried his best, and almost lost his life and future before rescuing him. Later, Ma Kuo even took Qiao, and Xiao Yan acted in the army, and he did not participate in any of them. After being sent by the Huanqing Army, he was about to leave immediately. We are always victorious, and the army is so defeated, and you are all in command? Now the adults kindly sent Cheng Yi, and they pushed back like this, and left early

Yue Fei was behind Xiao Yan and opened his mouth to persuade him, but in the end he didn't speak. Fang Teng didn't say anything, he rode on the horse, and just looked at Xiao Yan and Ma Kuo with a smile.

Xiao Yan was also refreshed, and nodded in a deep voice: "It's me who underestimated Brother Ma, and it will be done when the mind arrives." To receive it or not to receive it, isn't it all up to you, Brother Ma? You and me, leave it at that. He'll see you again one day."

He arched his hand and wanted to turn around, but Ma Kuo stopped Xiao Yan: "When Lord Xiao is leaving, can you hold back and say a few words to Lord Xiao?" ”

Xiao Yan was stunned, glanced at Ma Kuo with a smile, turned around and waved his hand, and behind him, Yue Fei, Fang Teng and the others, along with the mink hats, all retreated. Xiao Yan rode his horse and Ma Kuo walked slowly, and said with a light smile: "Brother Ma has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, Xiao listens to it." ”

Ma Kuo's expression was complicated, and he seemed to have struggled in his heart for a while before he looked at Xiao Yan and said sincerely: "Brother Xiao, in this Northern Expedition, if it weren't for Brother Xiao's decisiveness, it would never be possible to act in the army with such a complete victory. The Great Song Dynasty was in charge of the army with unknown soldiers, and the military ministers were cautious, only trying to protect themselves, and since the founding of the country, there have been many unfavorable military affairs, and their illness is here............"

Ma Kuo's first few words were very frank, Xiao Yan didn't move, just listened quietly. Ma Kuo hesitated, but finally said what he was going to say: "............ But after Brother Xiao returned to Bianliang, he could no longer do this decisive killing, and he took over the control of Brother Xiao's Wenchen shift, which was born in Qinggui. and Shenwu Changsheng Army, don't have anything to do with Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao, this is my heartfelt words, Brother Xiao has made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, I don't want Brother Xiao to end up"

After Ma Kuo finished speaking, he seemed to be emotional, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked at Xiao Yan without blinking. Waiting for Xiao Yan to reply something.

Xiao Yan's expression was faint. It seems that Ma Kuo's heart-wrenching words just now are just a spring breeze.

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Yancai sighed slightly, and his smile seemed to have a sense of coldness: "Some things always have to be done by people, and some people are timid, but I can't." Only by moving forward............ Brother Ma, Brother Ma, I also have a word in my heart, you don't have to be in front of me when the time comes. ”

Both of them are smart people, and there is no need to say any more at this point. The two glanced at each other and bowed their hands in awe. Each rode his horse and turned around. Xiao Yan galloped to the dozens of horsemen waiting for him, while Ma Kuo only took two riders, and never looked back, going south. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared at the end of the road.

Xiao Yan rode dozens of people, and he didn't look back, and went straight to Yanjing City. In the midst of galloping, Fang Teng rode to Xiao Yan's side and smiled: "How?" ”

Xiao Yan sighed and said softly, "Let's see how he handles himself............ Who knows what will happen in the future? ”
