Yang Peng stood up and walked towards Han Bing. Seeing this, Han Bing couldn't help but get nervous. Yang Peng walked up to Han Bing and looked at the strong and beautiful woman in front of him, his heart was full of guilt. I couldn't help but take it into my arms and whisper in her ear: "If that's what you want, then do it!" Han Bing was flustered and didn't know what to do. Pushed Yang Peng away violently, and said angrily: "I'm joking with you, what should you be serious!" Yang Peng looked at Han Bing gently. Han Bing involuntarily blushed, snorted angrily, and quickly turned around and left.

Yang Peng looked at Han Bing's graceful back and couldn't help sighing. Yang Peng left Hezhou soon after and went to Chengtian Military Village.

Taihang Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, majestic and abnormal, just like a huge screen between Shanxi and Hebei, and Chengtian Military Village is located in this magnificent mountain range, tightly choking the strategic passage between Shanxi and Hebei. There is another name here, Niangziguan. According to legend, Li Xiuning, the daughter of Li Yuan in the early Tang Dynasty, once led an army to guard here, so it was named Niangziguan. Now guarding here is also a female general, the red fan in Yan Yunjun, Yang Peng's wife, Yang Jiumei.

As the saying goes, Xiao Biesheng is newlywed, and the two finally got to see each other, naturally they were harmonious and lingering, and they didn't care about anything.

In the dead of night, Yang Jiumei, whose face was flushed, lay on Yang Peng's chest and whispered. "I'm here **** thinking about my big brother every night!" Yang Peng's heart was soft, he stroked her smooth waist and buttocks, and said softly: "Big brother also wants to be the ninth sister!" Yang Jiumei smiled happily, squeezed the whole person into Yang Peng's arms, raised her head and asked curiously, "What does the eldest brother miss me?" ”

Yang Peng pinched her chin and said with a smile: "I miss the beautiful face of our ninth sister," and then moved the palm of her hand to the quilt, Yang Jiumei's expression suddenly trembled, and her eyes swelled with emotion. Yang Peng smiled evilly: "I still want the charming body of our ninth sister!" Yang Jiumei smiled and put her cheek on Yang Peng's chest. The two of them warmed up for a moment. Yang Jiumei suddenly raised her head, "Did the eldest brother see Han Bing in Hezhou?" Yang Peng nodded. Yang Jiumei said: "Miss Han Bing is a very beautiful woman! ……”

Yang Peng nodded sympathetically, "Indeed! Yang Jiumei said again: "Not only beautiful, but also very capable, it can be said that there are only a handful of generals who can be compared with Miss Han Bing today!" ”

Yang Peng suddenly felt a little strange, looked down at Yang Jiumei, and asked with a smile, "Jiumei, do you have anything to say to me?" Yang Jiumei smiled embarrassedly, "Actually, in fact, I think Miss Han Bing seems to love her eldest brother very much!" ”

Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Yang Jiumei was inexplicably laughed by Yang Peng, and slapped Yang Peng's chest with her fist angrily, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at, did I say something wrong?" ”

Yang Peng smiled bitterly: "I really don't know how you came to such a conclusion!" You should know that there is a big hatred between me and Han Bing, and she can help me lead the army without remembering hatred, I am already very grateful, where can I dare to have other ideas! "But ......" Yang Peng hugged Yang Jiumei and kissed her, "Okay, let's not talk about her!" It's not early, go to sleep! Yang Jiumei obediently closed her eyes and soon fell asleep. Yang Peng hugged Yang Jiumei, looked at the ceiling in a daze, thinking about Yang Jiumei's affairs, and only felt upset.

The next morning, Yang Peng, accompanied by Yang Jiumei, Yang Erya, and Li Tian, climbed a dangerous peak next to the Chengtian Military Village. The mountain wind is howling, and the eyes are far away, and the mountains and ravines are in full view. This Taihang Mountain is really extremely steep!

Yang Jiumei pointed to the distance, "The more than 100,000 soldiers and horses evacuated and led are stationed in Pingding City, which is more than 100 miles away. Yang Peng nodded and asked, "Didn't they come to attack?" Yang Jiumei shook her head and pointed to a steep mountain pass under the mountain, which was the only way to enter the Chengtian Military Village, and there was a military village on the top of the cliff on both sides. When they reached the mountain pass, they were immediately retreated when they were blocked by our army, and then they withdrew several miles from the lower village. After the fighting in the south was over, they retreated to Pingding City. ”

Yang Peng showed a look of thought, and felt that if he could use a strong army to go straight to Shanxi, he might be able to immediately reverse the current situation in the Central Plains. Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head, it is naturally good to have an elite army out of the Chengtian Military Village, but now where can the army be drawn, this matter can only be put down temporarily!

A herald hurriedly rushed over, knelt down with a letter in his hands and said, "Qi Yan Wang, Yanjing emergency military situation!" Yang Erya took the letter and handed it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the letter, opened it, took out the letter, read it, and frowned slightly. To the three people: "The Khitans launched a fierce attack on Gubeikou, Longshan, and Yuguan at the same time!" I need to get back as soon as possible! ”

How could the Khitans launch an onslaught from the northern front? It turned out that after receiving the report from the south, Empress Dowager Xiao felt that the remaining troops in the sixteen states of Yanyun were insufficient, and it was a good time to attack on a large scale, so she ordered Prime Minister Xiao Tianzuo to prepare grain and grass, and at the same time ordered the generals Xiao Yebule, Xiao Luyegan, and Tie Ligan to attack the Gubei Pavilion Pass, Longshan, and Yuguan at the same time, intending to take advantage of the lack of troops in the sixteen states of Yanyun to attack Yanyun and smash the lair of the Yanyun army.

Yanjing was led by Liu Zhiliang, and actively mobilized all forces to resist, in order to be precautionary, Liu Zhiliang and Qian Letian, Zuo Mou, and Ye Yu Hanyu decided to mobilize all the young and middle-aged people in the sixteen states to prepare for battle. The entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were in turmoil for a while, and the people lost their usual joy, and they couldn't help but be afraid, and the originally prosperous street market suddenly became a lot depressed.

Yang Peng and his entourage galloped into Yanjing Yang Peng walked into the gate of Yanyun Mansion quickly, and Liu Zhiliang, Qian Letian, Zuo Mou and Yelu Hanyu, who had just received the news, hurriedly greeted them. As soon as Yang Peng saw them, he immediately asked, "How is the situation now?" Yelu Hanyu said solemnly: "Big brother, you're late!" Yang Peng was taken aback, "What's going on?" Yelu Hanyu suddenly laughed. Yang Peng didn't react for a while when he saw this scene.

The other three laughed, and Liu Zhiliang hurriedly said, "Big brother, don't worry, the princess is joking with you!" Yang Peng was angry, and glared at Yelu Hanyu angrily. Yelu Hanyu smiled happily. Yang Peng smiled: "Looking at you like this, there must be no problem, right?" ”

Liu Zhiliang said: "I just received a report from the front-line army, and the Khitan army has already retreated!" ”

Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, "Retreated?" Just retreated? Yelu Hanyu said: "Five or six hundred thousand Khitan troops attacked for five or six days, not to mention that they did not make any progress, and they also lost many soldiers and horses!" If you don't retreat, what will you gain except for more casualties! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "So our defense system has worked?" The four of them nodded, and Zuo Mou smiled: "It should be said that it has played a huge role!" He then presented a booklet to Yang Peng and said, "This is the casualty report of both sides just sent. Yang Peng hurriedly took the report and read it, and said in disbelief: "We only killed a dozen people?!" The four of them smiled and nodded, and Yelu Hanyu said: "Only a dozen people were killed, but the Khitan army died no less than 20,000 people!" That's why the Khitan army retreated! ”

The gaze turned to the capital of Liaoguo. Empress Dowager Xiao regretted and said, "I really regret not listening to my daughter!" When the Yanyun army built fortifications, I should have listened to my daughter's words and sent a large army to attack constantly! Hey, it's too late to regret it now! I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, they actually built such a strong and steep defensive line, and now it is simply impossible to attack from the north! ”

General Xiao Yebula said with palpitations: "That kind of defense line is simply more insurmountable than the danger, the city wall is so high that even the siege ladder cannot be set up, and there are fortresses at the peak of the cliffs everywhere, and the three-bow bed crossbow stone cannons arranged in those places can hit our army far away, and often our army has suffered a lot of casualties before it reaches the city wall!" With all due respect, such a line of defense, unless they take the initiative to give up, they will not be able to break through at all! Emperor Ye Yu Longxu frowned tightly, "I finally understand now why Yang Peng dared to transfer a large force south, it was because I was too careless!" ”

Xiao Tianzuo thought for himself: "This may not be a bad thing! The emperor and several generals looked at Xiao Tianzuo in puzzlement. Xiao Tianzuo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the Yanyun Army can now hold the northern front with very few troops, so there is no need for us to press so many troops in that direction!" It is completely possible to draw out most of the army and devote it to the war operations in the south! In this way, the superiority of our army in the Central Plains will still be unshakable! Empress Dowager Xiao's eyes lit up and nodded, "Not bad!" Doesn't the Han people have a saying that the plan is calculated? We will also give him a plan to transfer all the troops pressed on that line to the Central Plains! I want to see, the Central Plains is chasing the deer, who will kill the deer? ”

Yang Peng climbed the cliff on the west side of the Gubei Pavilion and looked at the north, and the northern grassland was endless. Retracting his gaze, he saw the defense system of the Gubei Pavilion built according to the steep terrain. Yang Peng was amazed, feeling that this is simply a magnificent scene that can only be seen in film and television blockbusters!

The first wall stretches across the road from south to north. The shape of this wall is completely different from the ordinary city wall, the middle gate is very low and narrow, while the two sides of the city wall are very majestic and tall. In fact, the city gate is not low and narrow, in terms of scale, it is larger than the city gate of Yanjing, and the reason why it looks low and narrow is entirely because the city walls on both sides are too majestic.

The city walls on both sides of the city gate are more than ten meters high on the wide foundation alone, and then the city wall is built with huge mountain stones nearby, and it is built more than ten meters, and the overall height of the front is about thirty meters, which is equivalent to a ten-story building, which completely exceeds all the defense systems of this era, no wonder Yebul will say that their ladder can't reach it at all. The defending soldiers only had to keep shooting arrows and throwing stones on top of such walls.

And this is only the first layer of the Gubei Pavilion's defense system. The second layer is also a city wall, which is built on the higher ground behind the first wall, and because it is built on higher ground, it is more than ten meters higher than the first wall. When the enemy is attacking, the long-range fire on the second wall can also inflict damage on the enemy.

In addition to these two defense systems, there is a third layer of defense. On the top of these cliffs that cut through the walls and plunged into the sky, many military fortresses were also built, and these military fortresses were condescending according to the cliffs, and they could attack the enemy army while they were still gathering. Not long ago, Yebule's army suffered such a big loss, at that time they didn't know that the Yanyun army had moved the heavy equipment such as stone cannons, three-bow bed crossbows, and so on to the military village on the cliff, just as the army was assembled to prepare for the attack, suddenly a huge whistling sound came, and before the Khitan soldiers could react, stones and bullets fell from the sky, and the Khitan army, which was caught off guard, was killed and wounded more than 100 people at once. Fortunately, this is ancient times, and the hit accuracy of long-range weapons is very low, if it is in modern society, such a long-range salvo, Xiao Yebule's army is afraid that it will be crippled.

While admiring the magnificent scenery in front of him, Yang Peng listened to Yang Jing excitedly recount the recent war. Yang Jing finally said: "I have been in the army for so many years, and I have never fought such an easy war!" The enemy is already full of corpses, but we still don't feel much pressure! ”

Yang Peng smiled, "If you are only given 10,000 horses, can you hold here?" "No problem!" Then he thought about it, "With such a defense system, there is absolutely no problem!" ”

Yang Peng showed a thoughtful look. After inspecting the Gubei Pavilion, Yang Peng went to Longshan and Yuguan to inspect again. The situation on the Yuguan side is similar to the situation on the Gubei Pavilion side, while the defense system of Longshan is stronger than that of the Gubei Pavilion and Yuguan, which is insurmountable. Not long ago, the Khitan army attacked for five or six days and lost five or six thousand people, but only one soldier of the army guarding Longshan was grazed by stray arrows.

The northern defense system of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun has undergone this test and has shown an incomparably strong defense capability. Yang Peng felt more confident in his heart, and felt that he could draw out more troops to fight in the main direction.

Bang! A loud bang suddenly erupted outside the capital city. The soldiers and civilians in the city were startled, and some people muttered angrily: "Damn! These Khitans don't know what to mess around outside the city all day long?! It's scared to death! "Ya Yu Guanyin and Ye Hu Hugo ran out of the hall and looked in the direction where the loud noise came, only to see a pillar of smoke rising from a distance. Ya Yu Guanyin frowned and said, "It seems that it has failed again!" Jerehugo said angrily, "I'll go and see!" Then he left in a hurry.

Soon after, Yakhugo returned, and said dejectedly, "Damn, it's failed again!" It also killed more than two dozen people! Ye Yu Guanyin frowned and said, "Since Yan Yunjun can make that kind of weapon, we should be able to make it too, what is wrong?" Yari Kannon shook his head, "I don't know! I told them to keep doing it! ”

Ya Yu Guanyin pondered: "This is not the way. Maybe we should think of something else. Brother Yehu asked puzzledly, "What is the best way for the imperial sister?" Ya Yu Guanyin raised his head to look at the sky in the distance, and muttered, "Since we can't build it, let's find a way from Yan Yunjun!" ”……

Yang Peng finished inspecting the defense system in the north and immediately returned to Yanjing. As soon as I came back, I learned that news came from Bianjing not long ago, saying that the imperial court was now discussing how to deal with him Yang Peng.

At the same time that Yang Peng learned the news, in the palace study in Bianjing, the emperor and the ministers were arguing fiercely about how to deal with Yang Peng.

Kong Yida said with a look of resentment: "Yang Peng is now a big tail!" If we don't take drastic measures to get rid of him, it will be a catastrophe! It's too late to regret it! ”

The Eighth Prince said angrily: "According to Lord Kong's meaning, do you want to meet Yan Yun's blade?" In such a situation now, wouldn't it be faster for relatives to bitter enemies? I'm afraid that both the Khitan and Han Derang would like us to do this! ”

Kong Yida snorted, "Why bother to move!" I've got a clever plan to get rid of this fang! Song Zhenzong became interested, "If Kong Qing has a clever plan, just say it quickly!" Kong Yida smiled confidently, hugged his fists and said: "As long as Your Majesty summons it to Bianjing with a holy decree, then it will be up to Your Majesty to kill and take it!" ”

"No!" The Eighth Prince said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, Lord Kong's words are simply a misunderstanding of the country and the king!" Who is Yang Peng? Is it so easy to be fooled by characters who can make the Khitans fear three points? Besides, this strategy was used by the first emperor, but now the old trick is repeated, I am afraid that even children will not be able to deceive them. Therefore, it is self-defeating! Your Majesty's respect for all vehicles, admired by the world, really shouldn't do this villain trick! ”

Li Te, who participated in politics, also said: "What Lord Zhao said is extremely true! Regardless of King Yan's true thoughts, but now he is indeed bent on dealing with the Khitans and Goryeo, and his subjects regard him as a hero! If His Majesty plots to kill him, he will not only enmity Yan Yunjun, but also make the subjects of the world feel cold! I'm afraid that the general trend will really be gone! Your Majesty must not listen to the words of Kong Da** and the people of the country! ”

Kong Yida was so angry that he shouted, "Am I not thinking about Your Majesty's country? Listen to you, as if I were a traitor! ”

The eighth prince said: "I'm just talking about things." Kong Yida snorted, "Yang Peng will rebel in the future, and he must be eliminated as soon as possible!" The Eighth Prince asked rhetorically: "I don't know why Master Kong is so conclusive?" What is the basis for daring to ask Master Kong? Kong Yida glared and said: "He is a military general, and now he has a lot of power, this is the basis!" The Eighth Prince sneered: "This is called the crime of wanting to add no excuse!" ”

Song Zhenzong was so quarreled by the two of them that he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he turned his attention to Pang Taishifei, who had been silent, "Pang Qing, tell me your opinion too." Everyone's eyes fell on Pang Taishifei.

Master Pang said: "This, what Lord Zhao and Master Kong said makes sense. The minister thought that it was better to find a way to restrain Yan Wang Fang as the best policy. ”

Song Zhenzong became interested, "Then, how to restrain it?" ”

Pang Taishi said: "The restraint is nothing more than high-ranking officials and marriage, and now that King Yan is already a very human minister, it is better to use the means of marriage." The minister heard that His Majesty's royal sister is in her twentieth year, so it is better to marry King Yan. In this way, His Majesty and King Yan became a family, and the things that Master Kong was worried about were naturally solved! ”

Song Zhenzong was greatly moved, "This method is good!" Glancing at the other ministers, "What do you think?" The eighth prince said: "This is indeed a way to get the best of both worlds!" Wang Qinruo also nodded. Kong Yida said urgently: "If Your Majesty does this, you will definitely regret it in the future!" ”

Song Zhenzong was displeased, "Kong Qing must always be so alarmist!" ”

After the meeting, Song Zhenzong came to a delicate and beautiful palace in the harem. This palace is not big, but it exudes a delicate and beautiful temperament everywhere. The small arch bridge, the clear stream passes through the bridge, making a gurgling sound; The lush bamboo forest sways in the wind, and the pink embroidery building looms in it; The peach tree is next to the cherry, the pear tree is next to the peony, the colorful falling English floats on the water, and the garden is fragrant and refreshing. This is simply a blessed place where fairies live!

Of course, it will not be a fairy who lives here, but the little sister of Song Zhenzong, the legendary Princess Lihua. Song Gaozong walked across the small bridge and through the bamboo forest, only to see a peerless beauty in palace clothes sitting in front of the window of the moon cave and stroking the qin, really like Chang'e in the moon palace. Although Song Zhenzong was an elder brother, he still couldn't help but lose his mind, smiled, and hurriedly walked over.

"Little sister!" Zhao Lihua heard Song Gaozong's voice and hurriedly raised her head. Seeing that Song Zhenzong had already come to the door, his face showed a look of joy, and he hurriedly stood up and went out to greet him. Ying Ying bowed and said: "I don't know if Your Majesty will miss the distance, and I hope Your Majesty will atone for your sins!" ”

Song Zhenzong smiled, "We are brothers and sisters, why do we have to see each other like this." There are no outsiders here, so call me brother. Zhao Lihua smiled, as if a peony was in full bloom, "Brother." Song Zhenzong smiled and took Zhao Lihua's slender hand and walked into the embroidery building. Come to the moon cave window and sit down. Zhao Lihua hurriedly asked the palace maid to serve fragrant tea.

Song Zhenzong picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and when he saw that Zhao Lihua was still standing, he said, "Little sister, sit down, we two brothers and sisters have a good talk." Zhao Lihua smiled and sat down next to Song Zhenzong.

Song Zhenzong looked at Zhao Lihua's beautiful face, and couldn't help but sigh: "I really don't know who is blessed in the previous life to be able to marry you!" Zhao Lihua blushed and showed a look of shame. Song Gaozong said: "Little sister, you are not young anymore, it's time to get married!" Zhao Lihua Bingxue was smart, and she knew the elegance when she heard the string song, and asked with a slight frown: "Does my brother want to marry me off?" ”

Song Zhenzong nodded. Zhao Lihua said angrily: "Brother, my little sister has already belonged!" The little sister doesn't marry! Song Zhenzong said angrily: "Marriage has always been the order of the parents, and now that the parents are not there, of course my eldest brother is in charge, how can you be willful!" ”

Zhao Lihua was annoyed and sad, staring at Song Zhenzong with a pair of star-like beautiful eyes, and crystal tears swirled.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
