Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Shuozhou's storyteller is not unique to Shuozhou, the entire Hedong region, Taiyuan in the central part of the country has a key care, the Fennan area is infiltrated step by step from Luoyang, as for the north, it is mainly the people brought by Zhao Pu last year, except for the Fenzhong area other than Taiyuan, Tiance's propaganda and infiltration has been very successful.

Luoyang is relatively rich in all kinds of entertainment, Tiance's storytellers and monks have entered a batch, but they have increased the entertainment projects there, and there are many scribes in Luoyang, most of the literati are conceited, and they will not completely take refuge in the past because of a few stories and ideas, so Tiance's storytellers and monks enter Luoyang like a small river into a lake, which is quickly diluted, and fails to achieve a near-monopoly propaganda effect, just a voice.

But Hedong is different, most of the people here have a relatively low cultural Cheng dΓΉ, it is a heavy land of Chinese martial arts and light literature, the people are simple and patriotic, and the quality of the people is better than the literature, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the rulers of all dynasties have relied on the military source of this place, but they almost don't care much about the education of this region, so as soon as Tiance's propaganda enters this place, it is like a heavy rain that moistens an arid land with hidden seeds, and soon takes root and sprouts, and the Huayi concept of the people is stirred up in the states of Yun, Ying, Huan, and Shuo, And quickly formed an action, the Han family in various places was strong and fortified, so that the military order of Xiao Zhili did not go out of the state city, and Han Kuangsi's government order was difficult to get out of Yunzhou.

Zhao Pu rushed from Shuozhou to Yunzhou, along the way, the pro-Khitan forces and the pro-Han forces were intertwined, and the Khitan people were no longer able to control the roads of the whole territory lightly, and Zhao Pu didn't even need to hide his whereabouts, as long as he avoided those pro-Khitan manor forts.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

He galloped quickly, and soon arrived in Yunzhou.

Daidi is now in a semi-out of control state, Xiao Shili listened to Yeluwu's words, and simply let go of control, not only the control of the Han people in the territory. Merchants were even allowed to trade with the Jin Kingdom in the south and the Tang Kingdom in the west. Xiao Shili was worried that such indulgence would let the fine work run rampant, but Yelu Wuzhi dispelled his doubts in two sentences: "Even if we can't control it now, we might as well let it go." Anyway, we are not afraid of being known about the movement of our troops, but there are more business contacts, and we can get a glimpse of the dynamics of Ping'an City through various channels. ”

This loosening unexpectedly made the commercial factor of non-governmental commerce greatly enlivened. After Zhao Pu arrived outside Yunzhou City, he pretended to be a businessman, and it was not difficult to enter Yunzhou, find the connector, and with the help of the connector, he infiltrated the post house where Cao Yuanzhong lived - if it was in the area of Linhuang Mansion, Cao Yuanzhong would enter the west of Qin like Yelu when he entered there. It's almost like a white pearl falling into a black sesame seed, and it's hard not to be seen.

At this time, Yunzhou Hu and Han were mixed, and Xiao's control power was already limited, and Yelu Wuzhi followed Tiance's treatment and did not cut off Cao Yuanzhong's external contact. He was allowed to go in and out of restaurants and markets, and he was allowed to come into contact with the merchants and gentry. It's just secretly sending people to spy on it. But since there are still two-faced people like Han Deshu in the Khitan, there may be no loopholes in the surveillance network for Cao Yuanzhong, so Zhao Pu can see Cao Yuanzhong.

Since Cao Yuanzhong went north, Lu Jialing had informed him of the situation of Han Deshu, Zhao Pu, Zhe Deyan and others, and then after listening to Zhao Pu talk about the situation in Shuozhou, Cao Yuanzhong said: "At the beginning, the two young men of Zhe and Zhao entered the generation. I didn't expect much, I didn't expect them to make such a big move. Now the anti-Hu coalition army of Daidi is all over Huan, Ying, Shuo, and Wei Prefectures, as long as the Jin army's footsteps to the north are stopped, once Yelu Wuzhi agrees to cede Daidi. There is no need to move troops from the side of Eilechuan, just the men and horses tossed by the boy are barely enough to defend the territory. ”

Therefore, he attached great importance to this team, and when he heard that he had only arrived in Yunzhou, Yelu Wu would hand over Shuozhou to Shi Jin, which was really an insult and contempt for himself, so he went to Yelu Wu on the same day and said goodbye to him.

Yelu Wu said strangely: "General Cao has only been in Yunzhou for a few days, and I haven't seen the Emperor of Daliao yet, and the envoys are not finished, why do you want to go back?" ”

Cao Yuanzhong sneered: "What envoys are you finished?" I'm here to discuss the delivery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and now that your country is going to cede this place to Shi Jin, what else do I want to do here? Is it a joke? ”

Yelu understood as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "If General Cao goes back like this, won't he return in vain?" Equally laughing! ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "That's my surname Cao's stupidity!" I actually believe your Excellency! I came with a warm face, but I put a hot face on my cold ass and told you to play tricks. But today, the Khitan credit has been broken, and I don't want to have peace talks with my Datang in the future! ”

After he finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Yelu hurriedly grabbed him and said with a smile: "Why should General Cao be in a hurry, there is something to say." Come here, serve wine, and extinguish the anger of General Cao. ”

Cao Yuanzhong patted Yelu's hand and said, "The harsh winter has only passed, where is there any fire!" General Yelu is also rarely close to me. We Tang people act, letter first. Since you have invited me, you should be sincere. Now if Shuozhou is ceded to Shi Jin, the covenant between you and me will be broken, what am I doing in Yunzhou? If you don't let me go, you can put me in custody, but you're taking me prisoner." ”

Seeing that his expression refused to soften, Yeluwu stopped pretending to be relaxed, and his voice turned cold, and said, "It's not that my Daliao is not sincere, but that your country is not sincere. ”

"Oh?" Cao Yuanzhong smiled angrily on his face: "I didn't know that General Yelu's ability to fight a rake was also very good." ”

Yeluwu said: "I Da Liao will sell Yanyun for two customers, this marshal of your country has already known, since this is the case, you should know that one goods and two customers, whoever pays the highest price, who gives the money quickly, who will get the goods." There have been actions in Luoyang, and you Han people have a poem: Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao. Since he has invested in me, I will naturally repay it - this is where my Khitan faith lies! But what about your country? If you want to negotiate peace, have you ever had the sincerity to interpret me? ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "What sincerity do you want?" ”

Yelu Wuzhi laughed and said: "It's very simple, as long as your country gives my country a promise, I can now hand over all Yanyun to Your Excellency on behalf of my lord - over there in Luoyang, don't even think about getting a county seat!" ”

"What promise?"

"The promise we want, General Cao should have known it a long time ago." Yeluwu asked: "As long as General Cao can ensure that the eagle does not raise the flag and does not go south, and the sweat and blood soldiers do not go north, this Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures will be your country!" ”

Cao Yuanzhong laughed out loud.

Yelu Wu said unhappily: "What is General Cao laughing at!" ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "Do you think this is possible?" ”

Yeluwu asked: "Since the two countries want to make an alliance, they naturally want to stop the war first, and they will not even stop the war. Do you want me to cut the land? Nothing like this has ever happened in the past, has it? ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "When Your Excellency went to see General Xue Fu, you said that you didn't ask for an inch of money from Liao, so you sent it out of northern Jin, and helped me to annex Taiyuan and Hedong - this is the premise for us to agree to peace talks. Now that the peace talks are about to begin, you have turned the premise of the peace talks into a condition - to fool me with such a trick of stealing beams and changing pillars, am I really Cao Yuanzhong a fool! ”

Yeluwu said: "I really don't ask for an inch of money in Da Liao, this statement was exported at the time, and it is still valid today!" and then came to my lord. Just as effective! But even if we don't ask for an inch, at least we have to ensure that the peace talks can be successful, otherwise the peace talks will not be completed, and the state will be ceded here, but the Yingyang army will be stabbed there. At that time, it will be my Yelu house that will laugh at the world. ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "Before the peace talks are completed, how can I stop Yang and Xue's troops? You don't know you're delaying the war! Furthermore. Peace talks have not yet taken place. Your country has decided to cut the soil, Shuozhou today, Yingzhou tomorrow, cut it with a knife, and wait until the peace talks are really completed, what will your country give us? Cut off the rest of the remnants of the state to rip the ground? ”

"I'm not afraid of this." Yeluya smiled and said, "As long as the peace talks can be successful." I, Da Liao, will hand over a complete Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to your country. ”

"It's all been ceded to someone else, how can I hand it over?"

"The land is there, and it won't run." Yelu Wu said with a smile: "When the time comes, we will let Shi Jingjiao hand it over again." If Shi Jingjiao dares not to listen, I will help your country capture it. If your country is troublesome, it is not impossible for us to take it directly and hand it over to your country. ”

Cao Yuanzhong looked up to the sky and smiled, "Do you think that we, Marshal Zhang, will agree to such a practice for you?" ”

"If General Cao thinks this method is inappropriate," Yeluya asked, "then what does General Cao think should be done?" ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "I have doubts about the integrity of your Khitan. In this peace talks, either I will leave now and the peace talks will break the deadlock; Either you suspend the cession of Yan Yun to Shi Jin, and wait until we can negotiate a result!" ”

Yeluwu asked: "Can General Cao guarantee that during the peace talks, Yang and Xue will not enter the army?" ”

"Can't!" Cao Yuanzhong said: "But I can guarantee that once the peace talks are successful, Yang and Xue will not enter the army." ”

"This kind of approach is too passive for my Da Liao." Yelu said lightly: "That's it, let's each make a step." Shuozhou, since we have promised to hand it over to Shi Jin, we can't go back on our word. However, in order to show our sincerity to this peace talks, we are willing to cede a state to your country in advance to show fairness, what does General Cao think? ”

Cao Yuanzhong said: "Where to cut?" Yunzhou? ”

Yelu Wu said with a smile: "Yunzhou is the confidant of the land, how to cede it before the peace talks are completed?" What I mean is to cede Yingzhou first. ”

Cao Yuanzhong sneered: "Let's buy and sell beef?" Can you cut a knife for me, cut a knife for him? ”

"In my opinion, this is no different from buying and selling pork. ”

"Don't you think I don't know your tricks!" Cao Yuanzhong said: "Yingzhou is in the south of Yunzhou, adjacent to Ulzhou in the east, and the southwest is blocking the road of Yanmen Pass!" Shi Jin has already arranged a heavy army at Yanmen Pass, and another army has entered Ulzhou, don't you know about it? If these two groups of people want to enter the clouds, Yingzhou is the only way to pass - you will give me Yingzhou, you don't have to ask! ”

"It is precisely because Yingzhou has such a geographical location that I will mention yΓ¬ to your country first." Yeluwu said: "As long as General Cao has Yingzhou in his hands, he can block the road to the north of Shi Jin." In the future, even if my country wants to cede other states and counties to Shi Jin, it will not be able to pass the pass of your country. Isn't this just the right way to ensure that the peace talks between your two countries will continue? ”

"Secure peace talks?" Cao Yuanzhong smiled: "I think you Khitan want to drive the tiger and devour the wolf." Let's enter Yingzhou, can't we just help you block Shi Jingjiao's soldiers? ”

"Shi Jingjiao's soldiers?" Yelu Wu laughed: "General Cao's words are funny. Shi Jingjiao something, he is the son of my lord and the courtier of my Great Liao Emperor! Dare to use troops against me? Even if I, the Khitan, withdraw all the soldiers and horses on the border, as long as I plant a flag at the head of the city, I will not dare to violate the border! In the past few years, Tiance Iron Horse has been riding thousands of miles and mighty in the world, just Shi Jingjiao, we are not afraid, but your country is afraid? ”

Cao Yuanzhong raised his eyebrows angrily. Said: "Who would be afraid of the emperor there!" Anyway, the land population, my Tiance Tang Army is never too much! Since you are willing to cede in advance, Yingzhou will take it. If you have any conspiracy, I'll take it too. But I warn you to stop playing with fire and save yourself from getting into trouble! ”

When he said this, he brushed his sleeves away.

Han Deshu Han Kuangsi turned out from behind the screen, and Han Kuangsi said: "Congratulations to General Yelu, the general has succeeded." This should be in the northwest of Shuozhou, just north of Yanmen Pass. Gaoxing Zhoubu is now in the south of Lingqiu County, from Shuozhou and Yanmen to the north, must pass through Yingzhou Heyin County, from Lingqiu south to Yunzhou, must pass through Yingzhou Hunyuan County. If the state returns to heaven. The two of them collided together. At that time, if you don't want to fight, you have to fight! ”

He slapped loudly this time, and he thought to himself that it should be just right. Unexpectedly, Yelu didn't react. Instead, they fell into deep thought.

Han Deshu said: "What is Brother Wu Zhen worried about? ”

Yeluwu asked: "This plan is quite obvious, Cao Yuanzhong is not a fledgling descendant, will it be so easy to fall for the scheme?" If he is provoked by me, he will look back and think about it carefully, but he is afraid of regretting it. ”

Han Deshu said: "Although this plan is obvious, if he doesn't follow. And how? Do you really want to break the game with us? ”

When it came to that just now, if Cao Yuanzhong didn't continue, the peace talks would not be able to continue, and if he didn't bring anything back, he would leave. It will only be more embarrassing and difficult to step down.

Han Deshu said: "I have been to Qinxi and have some understanding of the situation over there, their Tiance Datang seems to be very united from the outside, but in fact, they are also divided into factions internally. Cao Yuanzhong's faction is not the same as Yang Yi and Xue Fu, and this time he came to the peace talks, which is a bit of a credit grab. If it is successful, after going back, the natural scenery, if you just break the situation like this, come vigorously, and go back to Qinxi, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat. So I thought that it was not that Cao Yuanzhong couldn't see through Brother Wu's plan, but that he had scruples and lacked confidence in his heart, so he pushed the boat down the river and looked like he was enraged. ”

"What the Dao Handle says is reasonable!" Yelu Wuzhi groaned: "But Cao Yuanzhong and Xue Fu are not the same faction, he is willing to take over Yingzhou, but Xue Fu may not be willing to agree!" If Xue Fu didn't agree, then there would be a rift between the civil and military factions of their Tiance Tang Army. But if Xue Fu agrees......"

Han Deshu said: "That is, Xue Fu doesn't want to break the peace talks this time!" ”

"In other words, if Xue Fu also pushes the boat down the river...... Yeluwu said: "That is the side of Ping'an City, and it is also lacking in confidence!" Good, good, very good! ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Cao Yuanzhong returned to the post house and told Zhao Pu what had just happened, and Zhao Pu exclaimed: "Yingzhou is the only way for Hebei to advance westward and northeast of Hexi, and it is just south of Yunzhou - the place where the enemy is attacked on three sides!" How can you ask for this kind of place! General Cao was deceived by Na Yelu House! ”

He said this straightly, and Yang Yi Xue Fu said that Cao Yuanzhong could still bear it, and Zhao Pu - how old is he?

Cao Yuanzhong glanced at him and said, "Don't I know the geography of Yingzhou?" I'll say yes, for good reason! ”

Zhao Pu said: "Even if there is any reason, you shouldn't take over!" It's a big hole! ”

Cao Yuanzhong said angrily: "The marshal has given me great power, and our army has occupied the land, let me overturn!" Since it is something I have already decided, even if Yang Yingyang and Xue Dawan come, they can't be overturned, but it's your turn to point fingers? ”

Zhao Pudao: "But ......"

Cao Yuanzhong waved his hand and said, "There are some things that you don't know!" You go to Shuozhou, let Zhe Delan pull people to Yingzhou, and don't clash with the people at Yanmen Pass. I sent another letter to Ping'an City, asking Xue Dawan to send a military horse into Yingzhou. Although the people of Daidi are strong, those armies must be well reorganized and reorganized, otherwise it will be difficult to rest assured. ”

This time, although the people sent by Cao Yuanzhong saw it in their eyes, they did not stop them at all, and let them go west and south.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Zhao Pucai came out of Yunzhou, and one person had already entered Shuozhou.

On this day, Zhe De Yan was training soldiers outside Shuozhou City, and his Fuzhou Zhe family was a family of Jiangmen, and marching to fight was like eating and drinking water for the children of the Zhe family. With such a good foundation, after arriving under Guo Wei, he quickly found the military path of the Tiance Tang Army, and he is the nephew of Zhi Congshi, who naturally will not hide his personal interests, from military training to the system of operational command, the military organization of the Tiance Tang Army is based on the old Tang military organization, and has evolved all the way through actual combat to what it is today. It is different from the military organization of the Central Plains, but after all, it is of the same origin, although due to Zhang Mai's intervention, some of the military concepts of the Tiance Tang Army have stepped into modern times with half a foot, but on the whole, it is still at the peak of the cold weapon era, and the military organization of the Central Plains has not yet reached the point of obvious generational difference, so it is very fast to accept the De Ran.

In the name of advocating the righteousness of Han and opposing Hu, he summoned these military horses on behalf of the land, and wanted to reorganize them several times, but as the general in Yanmen Pass expected. He has no soldiers under him to be a team, what do you rely on to reorganize others? Therefore, a few months have passed, and only one battalion of soldiers and horses has been reluctantly integrated, and the other troops are still in a situation where they are willing to coordinate and do not obey orders-the entire armament of Shuozhou relies on a dozen brains to hold meetings, and everyone makes collective decisions to prepare for war.

On this day, the Folds are bringing together a new rabble. When he was preparing to set up a second battalion, he overheard a report that more than 20 horsemen were coming from Yanmen Pass. Bai Chengfu has already taken someone to check.

Zhe De Yan has been paying close attention to the Yanmen Pass side during this time. But when I heard that there were only more than 20 riders, I didn't pay attention to it, thinking that Bai Chengfu should be able to settle down.

He was concentrating on training, and after a long time, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and dozens of horsemen came towards him. Seeing that it was Bai Chengfu, he was not very worried, but soon saw that there were more than 20 riders who came with Bai Chengfu, all of whom were unfamiliar faces, just for one person who seemed familiar.

Zhede said in his heart: "Is this the new rebel army coming here?" ”

Shuozhou's military horses are divided into three parts of the world, one is the local heroic. One is the Tuyuhun brought by Bai Chengfu, and the other is the rebel army who came from all over the country.

When the people approached, Bai Chengfu laughed and shouted: "Brother Zhe, look who is coming!" ”

Zhe De looked at the person fixedly, and the man smiled: "Why, don't you recognize the old man?" When you traveled all over the Qin and Jin Dynasties, you fought the autumn breeze in the old man's house for half a month! ”

Zhe Deyan was taken aback and exclaimed, "It turned out to be Uncle An!" What are you doing here! ”

It turned out to be An Chongrong!

This time, Shi Jingjiao sent a three-way army, with Shi Chonggui as the main general on the West Road, and two old and spicy generals as support, An Chongrong is the deputy commander of the West Road army - of course he knows about this! The deputy marshal of the first army, naturally, it is impossible for him to come to the rebel army, although he has not talked yet, but Zhi Deyan has faintly guessed what An Chongrong is going to do! There was a nervousness in his heart, and his hand unconsciously pressed towards the horizontal knife on his waist.

Although his movements were subtle, he still couldn't escape An Chongrong's poisonous eyes, and he laughed and said, "Why, we haven't seen each other for five or six years, and you welcome the old man like this?" ”

Fuzhou and the land of the dynasty are connected into one gas, the major families on the border have always been in contact, in this era of the city's changing king's flag, who supports which emperor does not matter, each is its master, but between the heroes and the heroes, between the families and the families, there is a martial arts righteousness and order that cannot be lightly offended.

Zhe De Yan didn't dare to be rude, so he knelt down and kowtowed, and said, "Zhe De Ran, please be sorry for Uncle An." ”

An Chongrong laughed and said, "You're welcome, get up." ”

Zhi Deyan stood up and said, "I heard that my uncle is now the right-hand man left behind in Shijin Taiyuan, how can he have time to come to Shuozhou." ”

"What are you talking about?" An Chongrong said: "Shuozhou is my home!" Yanmen Pass is close at hand, Lao Tzu went home by the way, and he didn't talk about whether he was free or not! ”

Zhe De sighed and said, "It turns out that Uncle An has gone home to save his relatives." Also, since Shi Jingjiao became the son of the Khitans, ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to foreign tribes, and caused all the tombs of my ancestors to fall to Fanbang, since then, my uncle should not have time to come back. ”

Shi Jingjiao betrayed the country to seek glory, and the stink of fame was the worst in the sixteen states of Yanyun! But after all, he is still An Chongrong's emperor, Zhe De Yan called Shi Jingjiao's name in front of An Chongrong, and also exposed his shortcomings, as the so-called lord humiliated the minister to death, An Chongrong should not be patient as a minister, but if he wants to blame Zhi De Yan for this, then he will offend Sang Zi! Zhe Deyan didn't say a word of disrespect for An Chongrong, but he embarrassed him all of a sudden.

An Chongrong didn't seem to hear it, but said, "Exactly!" Where the graves of our ancestors are, how can we abandon them lightly! Fortunately, His Majesty has been taken back from the Khitan. I came this time to prepare to take over Shuozhou. Shi Liushou is willing to hand over this important task to me, which can be regarded as letting me return to my hometown in a beautiful clothes. ”

Zhe Deyan didn't expect him to say so directly, his face changed slightly, and Bai Chengfu's face over there also became a little unsightly, at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, but it was a little messy, but it was the righteous army from all walks of life and the local Haoqiang in Shuozhou who heard that An Chongrong came to meet each other! Needless to say, the local heroes in Shuozhou are the rebels from all walks of life in northern Shanxi, and most of them have friendships with An Chongrong, who has traveled widely.

After a while, people from all walks of life arrived, and saw An Chongrong turning over and dismounting one by one from a distance, some of them hugged their fists and called their brothers and sisters, some knelt down and kowtowed to call their uncles and grandfathers, and some even hugged An Chongrong's thighs and cried.

An Chongrong was surrounded by a large group of people, either his brothers and buddies, or his nephews and nephews, and said with a smile: "I haven't come back for a few years, I didn't expect An to still have a little popularity in his hometown." ”

He waved his hand and beckoned, and said, "Boy, don't toss about the matter here, go, go into the city with the old man, and the old man invites you to drink!" ”

He is a newcomer, but this Shuozhou does have his hometown, this sentence will come out with confidence, and suddenly turn Zhede into a guest, and everyone around him felt that it was natural when they heard this, and they didn't think it was wrong at all. (To be continued......)
