Chapter 283, drunk on the king's side
"It's that Zheng Tu, he scolded his master. The subordinate was angry, so he gave him a hand. His subordinates could not take advantage of him, so he untied his ropes and fought a fair duel. As a result, as a result, his subordinates were defeated, and if everyone hadn't rushed up, I was afraid that he would run away! ”
Yang Peng was very surprised, "That Zheng Tu was able to defeat you?" Wang Kai nodded shamefully. Yang Peng and Han Bing exchanged a look. Yang Peng walked down the steps and helped Wang Kai up. Seeing that his face was very bruised and swollen, it was obvious that Zheng Tu didn't spare his hand at all, that guy was really arrogant, he was already a prisoner, but he still dared to be so arrogant!
"This guy, I want to see it!" Yang Peng smiled, and then walked outside, Han Bing and Wang Kai followed. When a few people came to the front yard, they saw hundreds of people squatting on the ground surrounded by all the sergeants, all of them looking uneasy, and one of them, a very burly and bearded strong man, was tied up on the ground by five flowers, and a bunch of bulls' eyes glared at the sergeant next to him with great anger. Needless to say, that one must be Zheng Tu.
When the sergeants saw Yang Peng and Han Bing coming, they saluted one after another: "I've seen King Yan, I've seen the princess!" Those pranksters were all dumbfounded, they didn't expect to be able to see the legendary King Yan and Princess Yan, and a few people glared at Yang Peng and Han Bing, shocked to the extreme, these guys were really those pimples who tried to tease Han Bing by the canal embankment before but were taught a lesson by Yang Peng and Han Bing.
Yang Peng and Han Bing walked up to Zheng Tu, Yang Peng looked down at Zheng Tu, who was very embarrassed, and asked with a smile, "You are Zheng Tu?" You defeated my Captain of the Guard? Yang Peng came back to his senses and muttered to himself: I didn't expect King Yan to be here, and it was actually his captain who was defeated by me just now? Lao Tzu offended him, this life is over!
As soon as he thought of this, he let go, raised his chin and said loudly: "Yes, it's me!" I have long heard how heroic King Yan is, but I didn't expect to do this kind of framing good people! ”
Yang Peng smiled and squatted down, "Are you also a good person?" Zheng Tu snorted, obviously not daring to say that he was a good person, and then raised his head and said: "Although the grass people are not good, but King Yan, you can't arrest the grass people without asking!" The grass people and others gathered late at night, although it was not appropriate to say it, but they did not commit that rule, why did they arrest the grass people and others here? ”
Yang Peng said with a smile: "You want to take revenge today and get back to the field, because a few of your subordinates suffered losses by the canal embankment, you found it according to the address of the other party, but found that it was the Yanyun military camp, and you wanted to leave quickly." But before I could leave, I was captured by my soldiers! Zheng Tu's eyes widened and he looked at Yang Peng in disbelief, he raised Yan Wang Mo not an immortal, why did he know everything without interrogation?!
Yang Peng looked up at the few splashes who had quarreled with him, and smiled: "A few of you say, is that the case?" Seeing that they couldn't hide, they hurriedly came out and knelt in front of Yang Peng, kowtowing vigorously and begging for mercy: "King Yan spares his life!" King Yan spares his life! The villain has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, he offended King Yan, the crime deserves death, King Yan spares his life! ……”
Zheng Tu looked surprised, then came to his senses, and shouted in disbelief: "You bastards, could it be that you met King Yan and Princess Yan?" A few splashes nodded at a loss. Zheng Tu rolled his eyes and shouted, "It's over, it's over!" Then he said to Yang Peng with a depressed face: "The grass people have nothing to say, and the grass people are willing to die!" ”
Yang Peng said with a smile: "Although it is a crime to fight and make trouble, it is not a capital crime. Zheng Tu was stunned and looked at Yang Peng puzzled. Yang Peng stood up and said to a sergeant next to him, "Untie his rope." The sergeant answered, drew his long knife, walked up to Zheng Tu, and cut the rope on his body. Zheng Tu broke free of the rope and stood up, clasped his fists and said: "My people offended King Yan and Princess Yan, it is I who offended King Yan and Princess Yan!" The grass people are willing to accept their sins! ”
Yang Peng saw that this person was frank and upright, and he was quite righteous, and he couldn't help but feel good. At this time, those brothers under him begged one after another: "Please let King Yan spare Brother Zheng, we are willing to take the blame!" The few splashes who caused the accident even said: "It was a few of us who offended King Yan and the princess, and it has nothing to do with Brother Zheng!" ”
Yang Peng glanced at everyone, and finally returned his gaze to Zheng Tu's face, and said with a smile: "I can give you a chance, if you can defeat me, all of you can leave here." Zheng Tu's eyes lit up, "This is true!" ”
Yang Peng nodded, "Seriously!" Zheng Tu said loudly: "Okay! I believe that Yan Wang must not be a villain whose words don't count! Come on! With that, he started his stance. Yang Peng smiled and asked, "What if you lose?" ”
Zheng Tu didn't think about it and said: "If you lose, King Yan will take my life!" Yang Peng smiled slightly and took two steps back. Seeing this, everyone pushed away one after another, giving up a vacant land of dozens of square meters. The crowd was so nervous that they silently prayed in their hearts that the gods and Buddhas would bless their eldest brother.
Yang Peng stretched out his left hand and hooked it towards Zheng Tu, "Come on!" As soon as Zheng Tu's eyes opened, he shouted, and rushed towards Yang Peng, his momentum was fierce and amazing. Yang Peng secretly praised, and when he saw the other party punching at his face, he immediately flashed sideways. That Zheng Tu pounced, then twisted his waist, and swept towards Yang Peng's waist with his left foot. Chen Xiao jumped backwards and dodged again. Seeing that the two blows missed, Zheng Tu couldn't help but become impatient, wow wow shouted and pounced on Yang Peng again, opening the bow left and right with both fists to hit Yang Peng, Yang Peng blocked and dodged, Zheng Tu's attack had no effect at all. At this time, the brothers under Zheng Tu were shouting and cheering hoarsely, and they forgot where they were.
Zheng Tu shouted, and his right fist hit Yang Peng's cheek from the right side. Yang Peng's body was short, Zheng Tu's attack immediately failed, and before he could react, he felt that Yang Peng was hugging his waist, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Yang Peng shouted, his whole body strength struggled to pull up, although Zheng Tu was majestic, he immediately felt like a cloud, and then the whole person lost his balance, and fell to the ground with a loud bang, his internal organs were churning, his eyes were full of stars, and he couldn't move for a while.
Seeing that the eldest brother had lost, the shouting and cheering stopped abruptly, and everyone's faces turned pale. Zheng Tu shook his head vigorously, came back to his senses, and saw Yang Peng standing in front of him with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but admire, feeling that King Yan really deserved to be a great hero in the world, and the courage he was proud of was simply not worth mentioning in front of him, and he was vulnerable! Hurriedly got up and kowtowed: "The grass people are served!" Please take the lives of the grass people! ”
Yang Peng helped Zheng Tu up and said with a smile: "You are very good, with such courage, are you willing to be a butcher and a despised skinner?" Zheng Tu heard the meaning of Yang Peng's words, and hurriedly bowed: "If King Yan does not give up, the grass people are willing to follow the work of dogs and horses, and go to the soup and fire!" ”
Yang Peng helped Zheng Tu up and patted him on the shoulder, "A good man should be on the battlefield, even if the horse leather shroud is not in vain!" Zheng Tu nodded heavily, "The villain actually wanted to join the army for a long time, but those eight lambs in the court were very angry and waited for him, so he became a butcher here and messed around!" Seeing King Yan today, the villain can finally get what he wants! Then he laughed.
Yang Peng smiled slightly, "What's your name?" ”
"Grass Folk Zheng Long." Yang Peng nodded, "Good name!" I hope this name will spread all over the world in the future! Zheng Long showed an excited expression. Yang Peng said: "Our Yanyun Army has its own rules, if you want to gain a foothold in the Yanyun Army, you must rely on your own skills." In a few months, Yanjing will hold a martial arts competition, and if you can perform well in the martial arts competition, you will be able to enter the Yanyun Army and become an officer in a dignified manner. Zheng Long hugged his fists and said: "The villain must go!" ”
Yang Peng nodded. glanced at the few splashes who caused this incident, and said: "You guys are fighting and making trouble, and you have bad intentions against women, you must be punished, I will hand you over to the local government to deal with, you can be convinced." A few people didn't expect that King Yan didn't want their lives, and after being grateful, they hurriedly said: "The little ones deserve it, thank you Lord Yan for a lot!" ”
Yang Peng glanced at the crowd and said, "The others will go back, I hope you will do it yourself in the future, don't do anything wrong!" Everyone hurriedly said: "Follow the teachings of King Yan!" "Alright, you go!" Everyone bowed to Yang Peng, and then left, only the troublesome pimpies remained. Yang Peng ordered Wang Kai to take a few of them to the local government. Wang Kai received the order, took a few secret guards, and escorted those splashes to the yamen.
Han Bing walked up to Yang Peng and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the eldest brother for accepting another strong general!" Yang Peng smiled, "This person is more than brave, but his martial arts are a little worse!" Han Bing said: "The eldest brother didn't accept him directly, but let him go to the martial arts competition, is he also testing him?" Yang Peng nodded, "If he is willing to travel thousands of miles to Yanjing to participate in the martial arts competition, then this person can be used, otherwise, this person is just a gangster with some courage, and he is useless!" ”
Han Bing nodded thoughtfully.
Early the next morning, Yang Peng issued a transfer order, ordering the 678th Army to be transferred back to Shanxi, and the First Army to be transferred back to Yanjing, Han Bing still returned to Shanxi to preside over Shanxi's military affairs, but Han Bing had to return to Yanjing to report on his work, Shanxi's military affairs were temporarily represented by Yang Dezheng, Huainan's military affairs were still in charge of Duan Zhixian, and Henan's military affairs were still in charge of Yang Yanzhao; At the same time, Yang Peng also issued an order to supplement and pay for the pension, ordering the relevant institutions to start the pension work, recruiting and training new soldiers, and ordering the militia of the 205 military governments in Shanxi and Henan to return to their hometowns.
After doing this, Yang Peng set off from Yangzhou to the north, Han Bing accompanied him, and Duan Zhixian, Cheng Shijie and others sent more than ten miles before going back. A few boats slowly sailed north along the canal. Night fell, the stars were all over the sky, the dissolved moonlight was sprinkled on the thousands of miles of canals, sparkling and shining, Yang Peng and Han Bing sat on the deck with each other, enjoying this beautiful scenery, there was silence all around, only the gentle sound of water, only felt that the world was vast as if there were only two of them, as if there were only two of them, as if heaven and earth, I don't know what the mortal world is.
"It would be nice if we could do this forever!" Han Bing couldn't help but sigh.
Yang Peng looked down at her, and saw that this female general who ate tea completely unloaded her sonorous temperament, tender as water, just like an ordinary woman. Yang Peng couldn't help but love like a tide, hugged Han Bing's waist tightly, felt something in his heart, and hummed a song: "The snowflakes of that year fell and opened the branches, and there was too much sorrow left next to the Huaqing Pond that year." Don't say who is wrong or right emotionally, I just want to get drunk with you again in my dreams. The gorse hairpin jade scratching my head is your gift to me, and the neon clothes and feather clothes are reincarnated several times for you to sing and dance. Jianmen Pass is your deep miss for me, and Ma Weipo is willing to break his face for true love. Love and hate are in an instant, and they have a love for the moon. Love and hate, ask when you will fall in love. The chrysanthemum platform reflects the bright moon, who knows that my love is cold. Drunk in the arms of the king, dreaming back to the love of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Han Bing was emotional, raised his head, looked at Han Bing with beautiful eyes, and asked softly, "Is it Yang Guifei?" ”
Yang Peng nodded. Han Bing lowered his head and said softly: "If it were me, I would do the same, but there will never be hatred, what is there to hate if I die for my eldest brother!" ”
Yang Peng's heart was shocked, he hugged Han Bing tightly in his arms with both hands, and said softly: "Your eldest brother is by no means a waste like Emperor Tang Ming, he has to sacrifice his own woman to save his life!" If you really reach the end of the road, you will have a big battle, and what is there to be afraid of on the yellow sand! Han Bing raised his head and looked at Yang Peng with reverence, "The eldest brother and Emperor Tang Ming are naturally different, Emperor Tang Ming is just an emperor with some achievements, while the eldest brother is a hero of the world!" Who can fight against the world? If it is really at the end of the road, the little sister is willing to follow the eldest brother to die on the battlefield, not to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day and month of the same year, what is the regret in this life? ”
Yang Peng was moved, and then he was proud, "With the red jade in this life, there are no regrets!" Come on, get drunk! The two Feifeng female guards immediately brought the wine bowl and wine jar, and then retreated. Yang Peng picked up the wine jar and slapped open the sealing mud, poured two large bowls, picked them up, and handed one of them to Han Bing. Han Bing took the wine bowl, glanced at Yang Peng affectionately with beautiful eyes, and then raised his head and drank it all, what a heroine does not let her eyebrows go! Yang Peng smiled and drank a bowl of wine.
The two chatted and drank on the deck, and unconsciously drank more than half of a large jar of wine, although Han Bing is a heroine among women, but after all, she is still a woman, and the amount of alcohol is limited, and she is already drunk and leaning on Yang Peng's arms, her beautiful eyes are blurred, her face is red, and she laughs stupidly: "Drunk on the king's side, it must be like this!" Yang Peng looked at Han Bing's red and intoxicated cheeks, and couldn't help but feel emotional, and couldn't help but lean down and kiss her red lips. Han Bing looked at Yang Peng, looking very emotional, that expression simply melted Yang Peng! ……
Early the next morning, in the sound of rushing water, Han Bing woke up, only to feel a pain in his head, very uncomfortable. Thinking of drinking and talking with my eldest brother on the bow of the boat under the moon last night, tenderness couldn't help but surge and smile slightly. Inadvertently saw Yang Peng lying next to him, Han Bing was stunned, and then remembered one thing, the whole Jiaoyan was completely crimson, and the slender neck was also completely red, and the whole body was burning! Hurriedly looked at the dresses on his body, and found that the dresses were still on his body, although they were a little messy, but there was no sign of being untied, and then he realized that although the two shared the same bed, the shameful thing did not happen. Han Bing breathed a sigh of relief, but deep down he was very disappointed. Seeing that Yang Peng was still asleep, he couldn't help but lie on his chest and close his long eyelashes.
The building ship went north along the canal, entered Surabaya into Shandong, and then went north along the river to enter Liangshanbo, and then the building boat sailed into Jishui and arrived in Qizhou. The crowd landed here, and traveled north by land to the border of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Han Bing said: "Big brother, little sister is separated from you here!" ”
Yang Peng was stunned, "You're not going back to Yanjing?" Han Bing shook his head, looked at Yang Peng with beautiful eyes, and said: "These days with the eldest brother day and night, the little sister is very happy, and she has rested enough, there is no need to go back to Yanjing, it is better to return to Shanxi." ”
Yang Peng understood Han Bing's thoughts, couldn't help sighing, reached over and held Han Bing's slender hand, and advised: "When you arrive in Shanxi, don't work too hard, pay attention to rest!" Han Bing nodded, glanced at Yang Peng deeply, and then turned his horse's head and ran towards the west, and the female guards of the Flying Phoenix immediately rode their horses to follow. A group of beautiful figures gradually moved away, Yang Peng stared, and a heart seemed to be taken away.
It wasn't until they climbed over a small hill and couldn't see it anymore that Yang Peng took his gaze back and said loudly: "Go!" Immediately, a large group of people rode their horses and galloped towards Yanjing. ……
The gaze turned to Western Xia.
Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, is probably in the territory of what is now Yinchuan City. Backed by the snow-capped and majestic Helan Mountain, surrounded by the turbid waves and the magnificent Yellow River, although the scale is quite inferior to that of the Central Plains city, it is also the peak of mountains and rivers. Many of the buildings are different from those of the Central Plains, and are full of an exotic atmosphere, which is more obvious than the difference between Liaojin and the Central Plains. There are many business travelers shuttling back and forth in the city, all kinds of skin colors, all kinds of clothing colors are mixed in this famous city, all kinds of languages echo in the ears, people are in it, it is really like being in the Museum of All Nations, feeling at a loss.
The atmosphere in Xingqing Mansion was a little depressing, and resentful and excited words came from time to time in the tavern teahouse, all of which were aimed at Yan Yun. Since the defeat of Western Xia by Yan Yun not long ago, the entire capital of Western Xia has been enveloped in an atmosphere of anger and unease. Two voices echoed in the Western Xia society, one voice demanded revenge, demanding that the imperial court do its best to take revenge on Yanyun; And the other voice is very worried, they think that Yanyun Tiger and Wolf Division, even such a powerful Khitan is not an opponent, not to mention the Western Xia, and Yanyun is a very unwise move, the recent defeat shows this, the Khitan people gave up northern Shaanxi and other places, and ceded Shanxi to the Western Xia is obviously ill-intentioned, nothing more than to let the Western Xia fight with Yanyun, they Khitan people to sit and reap the benefits of the fishermen.
Li Tianhao stood outside his study, looking at the gloomy sky, he was very surprised, and his brows furrowed slightly. The butler hurried over and saluted, "My lord, Your Majesty has summoned you!" Li Tianhao retracted his gaze, thought for a moment, and ordered: "Prepare the horse!" The butler said yes and ran down. Li Tianhao hurried back to the back room to change into court clothes, and then left the mansion, at this time his horse and entourage were ready, Li Tianhao stepped on the horse, surrounded by the entourage guards and went to the palace.
Li Tianhao came to the gate of the palace and dismounted, and a eunuch who had been waiting at the gate of the palace immediately stepped forward to greet him, and introduced Li Tianhao to the palace after a few words of greeting. Soon after, Li Tianhao appeared in the imperial study of the palace, glanced at the imperial study, saw the prime ministers on the left and right, and the generals on the left and right, and then saluted the old man who was sitting on it and was obviously overly drunk: "Minister Li Tianhao to meet His Majesty the Emperor!" ”
The emperor said in a weak voice: "No need to be polite! "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Tianhao stood up, walked to the right and stood down after the two of them. The emperor glanced at the prime minister on the right, it was a tall, thin and thin, sharp-eyed man, named Hu Daochong, who was a representative of the tough faction of the Western Xia, which is now called the hawk, the emperor said: "The right prime minister suggested that I should go south for revenge with the elite of the Western Xia," and then his eyes moved to the left prime minister, it was a rich temperament and amiable man, named Li Tongren, he did not approve of uniting with the Khitans from the beginning, in his opinion, although the Khitans were strong, they were an aging person, and Yan Yun was weaker, But it is the newborn sun, the future is immeasurable, the strength of the Khitan people is completely clear, and the future development of Yan Yun is still unknown, it is really unwise to rashly become an enemy of Yan Yun at this time. The emperor said: "Prime Minister Zuo, he does not approve, but thinks that the entire Qingfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road should be abandoned. ”
The right prime minister rushed out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, if you don't go all out to take revenge at this moment, I'm afraid that Yan Yun will look down on us, which is definitely not a good thing for us in Western Xia!" As for the land ceded to us by the Khitans, it is often not allowed out, land is wealth, it is strength, and if you hand over those lands to Yan Yun, Yan Yun will be stronger, but my Western Xia will inevitably lose its strength. Do you continue to appease the traitors, or do you want to fight a fight? If you choose the former, not to mention continuing to be humiliated, your strength will be further damaged, and if you choose the latter, then why bother to give in before? Therefore, I think that the decisive battle with Yan Yun is inevitable, and my country must not have the slightest illusion, and should go all out to defeat Yan Yun and take revenge to recover Shanxi! ”
The emperor was very moved.
Prime Minister Zuo frowned and said, "The previous battle has already shown how powerful Yan Yunjun is!" If our army fights again, can victory be guaranteed? If we lose again, we will not only lose the land that does not belong to us in the first place, but the consequences will be even more serious! And now, the Khitan people have taken care of themselves, and the Song State has lost their hearts, and it is impossible for our family to deal with Yanyun! What are the benefits of a country that is brave enough to be brave? Now that Yan Yun has defeated the Khitan and Song States one after another, the front of the army is flourishing, and its edge should be avoided! ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
