Ya Yin returned to his mansion, washed his face, and went into the study to start working. After reading the report just sent from Yan Yun, I couldn't help but feel worried. Yan Yun is getting stronger and stronger, and it makes her feel more and more difficult to suppress, Yan Yun back then was only Yan Yun Sixteen Prefectures, just like a tiger cub, although brave, but after all, the strength is insufficient, but now Yan Yun is like a tiger that has finally grown up, and it has revealed a palpitating momentum, and it is really difficult to destroy it!

Thinking of the domestic situation, Ya Yu Guanyin couldn't help but sigh, now the external troubles are becoming more and more pressing, but the internal is becoming more and more unstable! Ye Yu Guanyin couldn't help but wonder if his previous approach was wrong, maybe on the day of the emperor's death, he would destroy Ye Hu Brother with a thunderous force, and what happened now might not have happened! Ya Kannon frowned.

A female guard rushed in and respectfully reported: "Princess, Your Majesty invites you to enter the palace to discuss matters!" Ya Kannon suppressed her chaotic thoughts, got up and changed into her armor robe with the help of the female guards, and then hurriedly left the mansion surrounded by several guards.

When I came to the imperial study of the palace, I saw the emperor sitting behind the first bookcase, Prime Minister Han Derang standing on the right, Generalissimo Yalu Hugo standing on the left, and the Empress Dowager of Goryeo standing below Yahu Hugo. Ya Yu Guanyin saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty! The emperor hurriedly said, "Auntie doesn't have to be polite!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ye Yu Guanyin stood up, walked to Han Derang's head and stood down, Han Derang saluted Ye Yu Guanyin, and Ye Yu Guanyin responded with his chin.

The emperor glanced at Ya Yu Guanyin, and then at Ye Yu Xiuge, and said, "I heard that a fierce battle broke out between my aunt and the generalissimo's subordinates in the city, I don't know if this is the case?" ”

Brother Ye Hugh hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to rumors, it's just that the soldiers are drunk and fighting and making trouble!" The emperor looked at Ya Yu Guanyin with an inquiring meaning in his eyes. Ya Yin Guanyin said: "It's true, it's just that the soldiers are ordinary drinking and making trouble, and it's not as serious as the rumors!" The Emperor nodded, "In this way, I will be relieved!" "I glanced at the two of them," I was very worried when I heard this rumor, did the handsome and my aunt attack each other because of something misunderstood? Now it seems that I have misunderstood! So the best! Generalissimo, aunt! The two of them bowed down and listened.

"Both of them are important ministers of my Great Liao Kingdom, and they are related to the safety and well-being of my Great Liao Kingdom, no matter what happens, please take care of me and Dajin Liao Kingdom, don't be impulsive!"

"Yes!" "I am absolutely confident that both of you are loyal to me, and I will never believe any rumors! I hope you don't get bothered by rumors! Recently, there have been rumors that my aunt and Ya Yu Tiger City are plotting to depose me, I absolutely don't believe it, if my aunt and Ye Yu Tiger City really have this kind of mind, they have already done it before I succeeded to the throne, why wait until now? Ya Yu Guanyin bowed: "Thank you Your Majesty for your trust!" ”

The emperor said with admiration: "For the sake of the Great Liao Kingdom, my aunt has bathed in blood and battlefield with her daughter's body, and I admire it!" My aunt is a heroine among women, and she is willing to sacrifice everything for the interests of the Great Liao Kingdom! If my aunt is suspicious, is there any loyal minister in the world? The emperor's words made Ya Yin Guanyin feel very pleased. The emperor turned his head to look at Ye Hugh, "And there are rumors that the generalissimo killed the two emperors, with ill intentions, I also don't believe it, if the generalissimo is really like this, he would have become the emperor himself, why bother to support me!" ”

Brother Ye Hugh said very gratefully: "Thank you Your Majesty for trusting Weichen!" The emperor said, "In short, I hope you don't listen to slander, and don't have a grudge against each other!" Whether my Great Liao Kingdom can continue to be strong or not depends on the two of them! I hope that the two of you must focus on the overall situation! "Yayo Kannon and Yayo Kannon bowed and promised.

The emperor smiled slightly, "Okay, that's all I have to say about this matter, the generalissimo and aunt are heroes and heroes, and I don't need to say more!" After a pause, he frowned and said: "Now the matter in the Central Plains is getting more and more serious, and the Mongols are coming to make trouble again!" Yelu Hucheng has just sent someone to send an urgent military situation, and the Mongols have launched a large-scale attack on Shangjing Road, Yehu Hucheng is leading the army to resist, the battle is deadlocked, and the losses are not small! What do you think should be done in this matter? ”

The Empress Dowager of Goryeo said angrily: "Those barbarians dare to scratch the tiger's whiskers, what else is there to say, naturally they will send a large army to conquer and suppress!" Han Derang frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy!" Our army has just suffered a major defeat in the Central Plains, and not only has it suffered heavy losses in troops, but it has also lost a lot of money and food! If he rashly launched a large-scale expedition against Mongolia, Yan Yun would inevitably attack on a large scale, and at that time, it would be inevitable that the two-front battle would lose one or the other, and he was afraid that the gains would outweigh the losses! ”

The emperor frowned and looked at Brother Ye Hugh, "Generalissimo, what do you think of the Yan Yun Army in this round of fierce battles with that Yan Yun Army?" Is Yan Yunjun really as powerful as the legend says? ”

Brother Ye Hugh sighed, "Your Majesty, the subordinates have never been convinced, but they both admire and hate Yan Yunjun!" The Yanyun Army is not only brave and fearless, but also the soldiers are not afraid of death! Our armies, as well as the armies of other countries, no matter how high or low they are, almost always fight for rewards and for plunder! However, the feeling that Yan Yunjun gave to his ministers was not like this, they didn't seem to be fighting for looting, according to the information sent back by Xizuo, the countless booty captured in each battle, including money and women, no one would take it for themselves, and they would all hand it over! ”

The emperor was incredulous, "In this case, how can the army have combat effectiveness?" ”

Ya Yu Guanyin said: "According to the information sent back from Yan Yun by the fine work, King Yan taught his soldiers to fight for the dignity of the Huaxia clan and fight for the interests of the Huaxia clan, so his soldiers are different from the soldiers of other countries who fight for their possessions. Driven by this spirit, they can burst out with terrifyingly powerful combat power, often in a desperate situation and still fight to the death! The previous battle of Lonely Mountain, the battle of Juehua Island not long ago, was like this, even if you know that there is no hope of fighting, you will never give up the battle until you die on the battlefield, this is the most terrible enemy! ”

The Emperor frowned and said, "Then can we learn from their practices?" Ye Yu Guanyin said: "The minister is already studying, but the effect is not ideal, I think it is because we Khitans are a minority after all!" This set is very useful for our own Khitan warriors, but it is not good for the Xi people and Han people! ”

The emperor pondered for a moment and raised his head, "Let's put this matter aside for the time being." Let's talk about how to deal with the Mongols! Ya Yu Guanyin said: "I agree with the Prime Minister's opinion, at this time, you really can't rashly start a war against the Mongols!" The Empress Dowager of Goryeo frowned and said, "The Mongols have already called, so what's the use if we don't want to go to war?" ”

Ya Yu Guanyin glanced at the Empress Dowager of Goryeo and said to the emperor: "The Mongols' attack on Shangjing Road is nothing more than an attempt to plunder the livestock and materials for the winter, and they dare not really start a full-scale war with our Great Liao Empire!" In such a situation, it is better to use both grace and power, while mobilizing a large army to make a decisive battle, which will make the Mongols fearful, and at the same time send envoys to pacify the Mongols! If nothing else, the Mongols should take it as soon as they meet! Our main focus should still be on Yanyun. The army of Yanyun Tiger and Wolf, once the opportunity is taken, it will definitely cause unimaginable damage, and they must not be taken lightly! ”

The Emperor nodded and looked at Brother Yasui, "What does the Generalissimo think?" Brother Hugo glanced at Guanyin and said to the emperor, "The minister agrees with the imperial aunt's suggestion!" ”

The Emperor was very pleased, "Since the two of you are on the same page, the matter is settled!" My aunt led the army north and put on a decisive battle against the Mongols! "Ya Yu Guanyin promised." The prime minister sent a competent man to Mongolia to rebuke him for his treason! "Because after the Liao War, the Mongolian tribes successively sent envoys to meet the Liao emperor and wrote to the emperor, so the emperor said, 'Punish him for his treason'. Han Derang bowed down and agreed.

The emperor's gaze turned to Ye Hugo, "As for the affairs of the Central Plains, it is still handed over to the generalissimo!" Brother Ye Hugh bowed and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry! Ye Yu Guanyin glanced at Ye Hu Ge and said to the emperor: "For the affairs of the Central Plains, we don't have to take it all by ourselves!" Yang Peng," when he said this name, Fang's heart couldn't help but ripple with unspeakable emotions, lost his mind, and continued: "He has now occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun and Hebei, and his strength is as strong as an empire!" With the Song people's habit of infighting, they must be very jealous of him, and they can't wait to get rid of him quickly! We can completely let the Song Kingdom fight with Yanyun, and we will wait for the opportunity to move, which is what the Han people call 'snipe and clam competing for fishermen and profit'! ”

Ya Yu Guanyin was very right, and at this moment, the Song court was panicking because of the failure of Ni Chengmou's action. Ni Chengmou came back from Yanyun and put all the blame for the failure on Zhao Lihua. The emperor and his ministers were very frightened, thinking that Yang Peng would definitely raise a large army to retaliate.

"Now, what is it like now?" The Emperor asked the ministers standing below in alarm. Wang Qinruo said: "So far, there is only a fight with Yan Yun!" The emperor swallowed, "This, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to win!" I wonder if the Khitans will agree to form an alliance with us to deal with Yanyun? "Soon after the emperor sent Ni Chengmou to Yanyun secretly, he sent an envoy to Liao to discuss the alliance against Yanyun.

Wang Qinruo said: "This matter is not a big problem, the Khitans regard Yanyun as a great enemy, and they are definitely willing to unite with us!" The eighth prince said, "Emperor, don't do it, our biggest enemy is the Khitans, don't kill each other," Pang Taishi also stood up and said, "It's absolutely impossible to deal with our Han people with the Liao State, not to mention whether you can defeat Yang Peng and them, which will also cause Yang Yanzhao and them to turn to the King of Yan, absolutely not." ”

Kou Zhun also objected, because Kou Zhun also disliked Yang Peng and them, and the thousand-year-old loyal education still couldn't change these old stubbornness.

Wang Qinruo was right, when the envoy of the Song State arrived in Zhongjing, the Liao monarchs and ministers were particularly happy, and the Liao Emperor did not do much verbose, so he agreed to form an alliance with the Song State, and proposed that the two sides raise a large army to attack Yanyun at the same time at the beginning of spring next year. He immediately sent an envoy to return to Bianjing with the Song envoy.

The information from Zhongjing and Bianjing continued to reach Yang Peng's hands, and the situation was developing in a direction that was very unfavorable to Yan Yun. Yang Peng naturally would not sit idly by, he took two measures, first, sent secret envoys to Mongolia to lobby the Mongols, hoping to form an alliance with Mongolia to contain a part of the Liao forces; Second, he sent people to Bianjing to inform the Ming Sect that he was going to spread rumors everywhere, saying that Zhao Heng was afraid that Yan Yun would defeat the Khitans and the throne would not be secured, so he made a secret agreement with the Khitans to eliminate Yan Yun, and second, he wanted the Southern Ming Sect under the command of Lou Min to be ready for battle and wait for orders at any time.

Time passed imperceptibly in such a tense atmosphere, and in the blink of an eye, the Spring Festival arrived.

The lanterns in Yanjing City are very lively, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere. Children happily chase and play, and a pair of young talented and beautiful women admire the lanterns; A burst of gongs and drums suddenly came, and it turned out to be a dragon dance procession, and the people gathered one after another, clapping their hands and laughing.

At this moment, the palace of King Yan is also very lively, several tables of wine banquets have been placed by the lake in the backyard, Yang Peng, King Yan, the princesses of King Yan, and the main generals and civil officials of the Yan Yun Army who rushed back from all over the country gathered here, handed the pot and passed the staggered planning, and they were happy.

It was late at night, and the drunken civil and military generals were helped into the guest rooms of the palace by the palace guards to rest, and the originally noisy backyard suddenly quieted down. Yang Peng leaned against the railing of the water pavilion and rubbed his drowsy head. The footsteps outside the water pavilion sounded, and Yang Peng's wives and concubines came in with hot water, towels, and sobering soup. When Yang Peng saw them, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.

Yang Tong and Zhao Jinxi served Yang Peng to wash their faces, Yang Jiumei sent the decanting soup, Yang Peng took the soup cup and glanced at Yang Jiumei, Yang Jiumei's beautiful eyes rippled with sea-like affection. Yang Peng picked up the soup cup, gulped a few gulps and drank it all. put down the soup cup, stretched out his left and right hands to hold Yang Jiumei and Chai Yonghui respectively, and said to the women: "Let's talk well!" Naturally, all the women couldn't ask for it, and sat down one after another, or sat next to Yang Peng, or sat in front of Yang Peng, Chai Yonghui, Yang Jiumei, Yelu Hanyu, Zhao Lihua, Yang Tong, Zhao Jinxi, six beauties, six flowers with different styles, surrounded Yang Peng, as if the stars were holding the moon.

Yang Peng pointed to the stars in the sky and told the love story, and the girls were fascinated by it. ……

The wives and concubines finally couldn't resist the tired attack and fell asleep one after another. Yang Peng stopped telling the story and gave them a gentle look. Gently get up and leave the pavilion, and let the maids of the wives and concubines bring their bedding, and cover them gently, and have the female guards bring the tent, and surround the pavilion to block the night breeze so that they do not catch a cold.

After completing this, Yang Peng lay down among the women and closed his eyes. Smelling the fragrant scent, I gradually fell asleep. ……

The next morning, the girls woke up one after another, and found that they had slept with their eldest brother with others all night, and they couldn't help but feel something strange in their hearts. ……

In the back hall, Yang Peng had a meeting with everyone. Han Bing said: "Before I came, Brother Ye Hugo had already arrived in Bingzhou, according to the scout report, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Xijing Road, the Khitan army is frequently mobilized, and grain and grass materials are constantly gathering in Shanxi!" It is estimated that after the beginning of spring, there will be a big move by Brother Hugh! ”

Qian Letian said: "There is a report from Xizuo that the Mongols have retreated under the coercion and temptation of the Khitans. The envoy we sent has not yet replied, and I don't know what the situation is. Yang Peng pondered and asked, "Isn't there a big problem inside the Liao State?" Qian Letian shook his head, "Our people are behind the scenes to spread rumors, but the situation in Liao is much more stable than before. ”

Yelu Hanyu looked at Yang Peng and said teasingly: "That Guanyin is really not simple!" Yang Peng smiled and said to Qian Letian: "Let our people continue to spread rumors." The internal stability of the Liao State does not mean that they really do not suspect each other, and the lie can become true if it is said a thousand times, and it will slowly infiltrate, and maybe one day it will see results. "Yes."

Yang Peng looked at Yang Jing, "Yang Jing, is there any movement in the south?" ”

Yang Jing stood up, clenched his fists and said: "Before the end of the future, the scouts have already discovered that the imperial court is sending troops, horses, grain and grass materials to the states of Jiangbei, according to the intelligence obtained from all sides, the Song court will eventually gather 600,000 troops in Jiangbei!" Yang Peng's voice did not move, "Do you have the confidence to hold on?" Yang Jing smiled: "What's the problem then!" With those soldiers and generals in the current imperial court, our 120,000 army is enough to defeat them! The hall burst into laughter.

Yang Peng smiled: "You can't be careless!" After all, the Song army has a large number of people, as the saying goes, ants eat elephants to death! ”

"Yes, the last general will be careful, King Yan can rest assured!" Yang Peng pondered: "Looking at the current situation, after the beginning of spring, a big war will inevitably break out!" Raising his head, he glanced at everyone, "My strategy is to defend the south and attack the north!" The two legions in the south had 120,000 soldiers and horses to resist the offensive of the Song army, while the main force attacked the Khitan army in Shanxi! This is one of our large corps taking the initiative to attack the territory of the Khitans, and the battle will definitely not be easy, and everyone must not be careless! The crowd agreed in unison.

Shortly after this meeting, the generals hurried back to their respective armies. At the same time, Yang Peng also secretly left Yanyun, and there were very few people who knew that he had left, only a few high-level personnel.

The gaze turned to the state capital. Yehu Hugo sat at the top and listened to the reports of his generals, all the armies and grain and grass were converging towards Shanxi, and they were all about to be in place, and once all the soldiers and horses were in place, the Khitan army gathered in Shanxi would reach nearly 700,000 soldiers and horses.

After listening to the generals' reports, Yehu Hugo nodded with satisfaction, "Very good! Glancing at the generals, "This battle will have far-reaching implications, and you must do your best to fight for the first!" "Yes!" The generals agreed in unison. "I can assure you that the first of you to attack Yanjing will be crowned King of Bian Liang!" When the generals heard this, they were excited.

The general Da lazily asked, "Generalissimo, when are we going to attack?" ”

Brother Hugh waved his hand, "Don't worry! Wait for the Song Kingdom in the south to attack first, and then we will attack! Da lazy frowned and said: "The Gao family army, which has the strongest combat effectiveness in the Song Kingdom, has now become a legion directly under Yan Yun, and several other generals who can fight, Cao Jun, Liu Qi, etc., have been relieved of their military authority and are at home, where is there an army that can fight!" They attacked the Yanyun army, hum, in the words of the Han people, it is clear that the meat buns beat the dogs and there is no return! Everyone laughed, and Brother Ye Hugo smiled and waved his hand: "Marshal Ben doesn't expect them to achieve anything, but after all, they have a large number of men and horses, and attacking first will definitely attract Yan Yun's troops, which will be very beneficial to our attack!" The general suddenly realized.

Jerehugo stood up and walked to the map, and the generals immediately gathered around him.

Brother Ye Hugo pointed to Huguan and said: "The first step is to lead an army of 200,000 people out of Huguan by Da Lai, capture Xiangzhou and Anli Army, and cut off the southbound passage of Hebei; Then I led the main army to cross the Yellow River from Weizhou and go straight to Tianjing New Town! As long as it succeeds, our army will occupy a favorable position! After occupying Yanjing, all armies immediately turned to the defense to consolidate the results of victory, and they must not take the enemy lightly! After doing this, turn your troops to the west and encircle and annihilate the Yanyun army in the Luoyang area! As long as there is no accident, after these battles, Henan should be recovered by our army! "The crowd was very excited.

Brother Ye Hugo looked at Xiao Gan Buli, "General Xiao Gan Buli led his troops and horses to stay still, guarding the direction of the Chengtian Military Village. "Yes." Brother Ye's gaze moved to Saliyu's body, "I appointed General Xiao Saliyu as the governor of Mengzhou, commanding 50,000 soldiers and horses in Mengzhou to defend against the Yanyun army in Luoyang. When our army attacks Yanjing, Luoyang's Yanyun army may move east to Nanjing for reinforcements, or it may cross the river to attack in a desperate way. If the Yanyun army supports Yanjing, your troops will immediately force the Yellow River to seize Cangzhou, and if the Yanyun army crosses the Yellow River in a desperate way, you will lure the enemy to gather deep and annihilate it. "Yes!"

Yeydon Hugo glanced at the generals, "Is there anything else you don't understand?" The generals said in unison: "Understood! "Good! Drink away, Xiao Gan can't leave, you two rush to your place immediately! "The two generals promised. Brother Ye Hugh looked at Da Lazy, "General Da Lao also rushed to Huguan immediately to prepare, and I will send you the follow-up troops as soon as possible!" "Yes!"

On the same day, the three generals led their guards out of Bingzhou and rushed to their respective positions.

A day later, the last troops arrived in Bingzhou from Xijing Province, and Yehu Hugo immediately led an army of 300,000 to the south, and at the same time ordered an army of 100,000 to rush to Huguan to reinforce Dala. The flags are surging, the army is like a dragon, and the Khitans have pulled out their steel knives.

Yang Peng has secretly arrived at the Chengtian Military Village, and all the cavalry of the two legions of the directly subordinate legion and the First Army that have already received the order, plus the two thousand Xuanjia Army, a total of 92,000 war cavalry have gathered under the Chengtian Military Village, and this matter is still strictly secret at the moment, even the people nearby do not know that Yanyun's 90,000 war cavalry has gathered here. Why were there 92,000 cavalry in these three armies? It turned out that Yang Peng's direct legion originally had 60,000 cavalry, and the merged Yang family army also had 20,000 cavalry, so the direct legion alone had 80,000 cavalry, plus 10,000 cavalry and 2,000 Xuanjia troops of the first legion, which was exactly 92,000 cavalry.

Yang Peng stepped into the top of the big tent, turned around, and the generals greeted him together. Yang Jiumei hugged her fists and reported: "Qiqi Yan King, the Khitan army is still 100,000 soldiers and horses, and there is no change!" "Yang Jiumei is talking about the Khitan army arranged on the west side of the Chengtian military village, and the Khitan army under the Taihang Mountain is the army that Xiao Gan will never leave, with a total of 100,000 horses.

Yang Peng nodded and glanced at the generals, "This battle is very important, if you win, the battle behind will be much easier, if you don't win, the battle behind will be difficult!" Do you have faith? "Yes!" The generals roared in unison, and Yang Gui came out and hugged his fists and said: "Just ask King Yan to give an order, the last general is willing to be a pioneer!" Zhan Jinguo was anxious, and came out of the column to hug his fists and said: "King Yan, let me be the pioneer, be safe!" ”

Yang Gui was furious, "Is General Yang saying that I'm not safe?" ”

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