Look back at Yuguan.

In the dead of night, only the summer cicadas squeak and squeak, which is the unique natural music of summer; It is accompanied by the sound of murmuring water, and the rustling of leaves in the wind; In addition to these voices, there was a faint moaning sound like crying, and I don't know whether it was pain or joy, it was really resounding, and the sound lasted for more than an hour, and then fell silent.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from Yuguan in the distance, becoming clearer and clearer, and soon after, I saw a knight running outside the camp and was stopped by the guards outside the camp. The knight rolled and dismounted, pulled out a token, and the guards immediately gave way to him, and he galloped into the camp. Seeing Jiang Li, the captain of the Flying Phoenix Guard, and saying a few words, Jiang Li immediately ran towards a tent in the middle of the camp.

When she came to the outside of the tent, Jiang Li didn't dare to rush in, but stood outside and lowered her voice and hugged her fists: "King Yan, General Liu sent someone to ask to see you." After waiting for a while, Yang Peng's somewhat lazy voice came from the tent, "Come in and speak." Jiang Li immediately lifted the curtain and entered, only to see a faint figure swaying behind a screen in front of her, and then someone walked out, at this time the oil lamp was turned on, and two people appeared in front of Jiang Li, the one in front was Yang Peng, Mo Mo Da was wearing a pair of pants, a robe, and a large piece of skin on his upper body was exposed, followed by a woman wearing a light gauze and beautiful hair, it was Zhao Jinxi, at this moment she was holding an oil lamp, and her beautiful face revealed a little lazy and charming.

Jiang Li immediately bowed: "Master, Miss Zhao." She called Zhao Jinxi Miss Zhao, because Zhao Jinxi's identity was not a princess, and the situation was somewhat similar to that of ordinary people's concubines, so Yang Peng's subordinates generally called Zhao Jinxi Miss Zhao, similar to it, Han Bing was also made a general, but not Miss Han, but Miss Han Bing.

Yang Peng asked, "General Liu sent someone?" Jiang Li lowered her head and said, "Like, just wait in front." Yang Peng turned his head to Zhao Jinxi and said, "Jinxi, you rest first." Zhao Jinxi nodded and said softly, "Husband, come back early!" Yang Peng smiled slightly, hugged Zhao Jinxi's slender waist, kissed her red lips, and left. Jiang Li hugged his fist at Zhao Jinxi and followed.

Yang Peng and Jiang Li came to the front and met the people sent by Liu Zhiliang. As soon as the man saw Yang Peng, he hurriedly bowed: "The villain greets His Royal Highness King Yan!" His voice trembled, and he was clearly excited.

Yang Peng said: "Don't be polite, what's the matter with the sect leader?" "Back to King Yan, Wu Xing is back, the villain was ordered to report to King Yan, I wonder if King Yan wants to summon him?" "Of course I want to see him, go and bring him to me!" The officer answered and immediately ran down.

Yang Peng turned around and returned to his tent, Jiang Li followed, and then lit all the palace lamps in the tent. Soon after, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves outside the tent, and then the sound of horses' hooves stopped not far away, and the footsteps of several people came quickly. Immediately afterwards, I saw the figure at the door of the tent swaying, and two people walked in, one was Liu Zhiliang, and the other was a middle-aged man who was dusty.

"Then I saw King Yan!" The two prayed together. "No need to be polite. Wu Xing, you're finally back, I'm waiting anxiously! ”

Wu Xing hugged his fists and said: "Originally, I wanted to summon back, but I thought that the matter had not been done yet, and the summoning was meaningless, so I simply did not summon the summons, and only waited for today's matter to have a general idea before I came to report to King Yan in person!" King Yan has been waiting for a long time, it is really a sin of his subordinates! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Okay, let's talk nonsense, let's get down to business, what's the situation over there?" Wu Xingdao: "The Khitan princess won a victory in Xijing City, and then advanced sixty miles south to confront the Japanese people. Ten days later, the Suzaku King attacked the grain of the Japanese people with a cavalry, and burned the grain and grass of the Japanese people, and the Japanese people were greatly shaken, and the princess took this opportunity to attack in a big way, and the Japanese lost a lot of losses, and retreated into Kaijing. King Suzaku led the two armies into the capital of Kaijing, and at the same time, the reinforcements of the Japanese people had also arrived, and the two sides fell back into a standoff. ”

Yang Peng praised: "Guanyin has done a good job, and he deserves to be a generation of famous generals!" He glanced at Wu Xing and asked, "Have you met with Ya Yu Guanyin?" "Back to King Yan, I met, and explained the meaning of His Royal Highness King Yan, but Ya Yu Guanyin was noncommittal." Yang Peng smiled bitterly: "She thinks I'm playing some conspiracy." ”

Wu Xing said: "The subordinates did not dare to slack off on the things that King Yan explained, and when they arrived in Goryeo, they made every effort to collect relevant information. According to the understanding of his subordinates, the leading general of the Japanese this time is named Samuro Nario, who is the so-called general of the Japanese people; Today, there are more than 400,000 Japanese troops on the battlefield of Goryeo, and there are constantly backups; There were few Japanese cavalry, mainly intended for reconnaissance and sneak attacks, and their infantry was the main force; The combat characteristics of the Japanese are not the same as ours, the battle formation is simple, they like to fight, those who wear full armor and use the Japanese sword are very strong, but the combat effectiveness of those sergeants with simple armor is relatively average; They were not as diverse as we were, most of them wielding spears and a crude long knife, but they had the power of gunpowder and artillery. ”

Yang Peng was stunned, "You said they have artillery?" Wu Xing nodded, "The reason why the Japanese people are so strong all the way is actually to a large extent because of the powerful power of artillery, otherwise although the Korean people are weak, they will not be beaten to the point of losing the country in such a short period of time!" ”

Yang Peng frowned, "Artillery? Raise your head, "the same as our artillery?" "Yes, my subordinates saw the captured Japanese equipment in the Khitan camp, including artillery, although it was slightly smaller than our cannon, but the whole was quite good."

Yang Peng felt very puzzled, if the cannon of the Khitan people was imitated by domestic craftsmen because they saw Yanyun's artillery, then where did the cannon of the Japanese people come from, could it be that Japan in history mastered firearms so early? It's impossible!

Suppressing these thoughts for a moment, he raised his head and said, "You go on." "Yes. The subordinates let those hidden killers do everything possible to capture some Japanese prisoners, and learned some information about the Japanese people from those people. The emperor of the Wa people was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, but he was very intelligent and resourceful, and two years ago he suddenly got rid of the powerful ministers, and then he reformed the whole country, and formulated a state system based on conquest, all the policies of the country were inclined to conquest, and the core policy was that only military merits could obtain titles and obtain land, and at the same time the implementation of the conscription system, and improve the treatment of ordinary soldiers, it is said that in this way, the entire Wa country took on a new look, and the combat effectiveness of the army was greatly improved. ”

Yang Peng frowned and said, "How can a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child have such great ability?" Wu Xingdao: "The subordinates separated those prisoners and interrogated them separately, and the content they got was basically the same, and there would be no fake." Yang Peng pondered for a moment, smiled and said to Wu Xing: "You have done a good job, you have learned so much in such a short time, no wonder Qian Lotian and they all respect you!" ”

Wu Xing smiled. Yang Peng thought for a while, "You just follow Ya Yu Guanyin and continue to understand the situation of the Japanese people," he glanced at Wu Xing, "But this time, don't go without any news for so long, send a report back every once in a while, it doesn't matter if there is no new content!" "Yes!"

"In addition, you tell Ye Yu Guanyin that she is dealing with the Japanese people, and I will never take advantage of this time to show rare ingenuity to them in the Liao Kingdom, so that she can rest assured, I will promise her in the name of my eldest brother!" Wu Xing responded, and then said: "If King Yan doesn't have any other instructions, his subordinates won't disturb King Yan's rest." ”

Yang Peng nodded, "You don't have to rush back too much, rest in Yuguan for a day or two before leaving." Wu Xing smiled; Thank you King Yan for your concern, your subordinates are not hard," and then hugged his fists and bowed: "My subordinates retire!" Yang Peng nodded, and Wu Xing left.

Yang Peng saw that Liu Zhiliang looked like he wanted to say something, and said with a smile: "Liu Zhiliang, it doesn't hurt to say anything directly." ”

Liu Zhiliang hugged his fists and said: "Big brother, little brother thinks that big brother really shouldn't give up such a great opportunity for a woman!" Yang Peng was stunned, and then understood that Liu Zhiliang thought that he would not take advantage of the current war between the Liao State and the Japanese people to attack the Liao State because of the reason of Ye Yu Guanyin. I don't know how to explain it for a while, in fact, in all fairness, in terms of the current situation, the Northern Expedition to Liao is indeed a good time, defeating this strong enemy in one fell swoop, Yan Yun will have one less biggest enemy when he sweeps the world, but Yang Peng is not thinking differently after all, if he wants him to help the Japanese people indirectly, he can't do this kind of thing anyway. However, he couldn't say these reasons, but he couldn't help but tell the soldiers a reason, otherwise the soldiers would just think that he had given up such a great opportunity because of his personal feelings.

Yang Peng suddenly sounded Wang Laozhi's words, and he had an idea, and said: "Wang Laozhi is good at inferring the future, according to him, it is not the Khitans who will pose a major threat to us in the future, but the Japanese people. I didn't believe it originally, but judging from the current development in all aspects, I can't help but believe it! Although the threat of the Khitan people is still very large, it is already in the process of rapid decline, and the Japanese people are fierce, and there is a great tendency to catch up, if you don't take advantage of this time to contain the Japanese people, in the future, when they become bigger, I am afraid that it will cost several times more to destroy them! That's why I decided not to take advantage of this time to use troops against the Liao State, but to assist them to a certain extent! ”

Liu Zhiliang listened to Yang Peng's words, and suddenly became enlightened, the ancients had an advantage, that is, they believed in the mysterious things such as fortune-telling diagrams, Yang Peng used Wang Laozhi's prophecies as a reason, and Liu Zhiliang was convinced. hugged his fists and said: "The eldest brother is far-sighted, the younger brother still thinks that he still thinks that he is ......, hey, it really shouldn't be!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "It's human nature that you have this kind of thought. Then he was a little dazed, and he couldn't figure out whether his reluctance to take advantage of the crisis of the Liao State to raid his Xijing Road was really as he said. Is it really just because of my own experience and knowledge that there is no personal emotion? I didn't understand it, and then I thought what does it matter if it's good or not!

smiled, raised his head, and said to Liu Zhiliang: "Your troops and horses must be ready to attack, once the Khitan people make a request, immediately send troops to rescue, in this matter, we and the Khitan people can be said to be the same enemy!" "Yes."

Yang Peng thought about it, spread out a piece of stationery, Jiang Li saw it next to him, and immediately realized that Yang Peng was going to write a letter, and hurriedly stepped forward to polish ink for Yang Peng. After a while, the ink was polished, Yang Peng picked up the brush and dipped it in the ink, and wrote on the letterhead. Jiang Li was very curious about what Yang Peng wrote, but she hung her head and didn't peek, as the captain of the Feifeng Female Guard, Jiang Li knew very well that King Yan could only see what he let him see, and what King Yan didn't let him see was that no matter how curious he was, he couldn't peek.

Yang Peng put down the brush, looked at it carefully from beginning to end, and after confirming that it was correct, he gently dried the ink, and then folded it into a three-inch-long piece of paper, at this time Jiang Li handed over an envelope with both hands, Yang Peng took the envelope, put the paper in and sealed it, and handed it to Lin Chong, "This letter, send someone to pass it to Guan Shan, and ask the navy to act accordingly." Liu Zhiliang responded, stepped forward to take the letter with both hands, and then clasped his fists and said: "Big brother, if there is no other command, the younger brother will retire!" Yang Peng nodded, "You go." Liu Zhiliang bowed to Yang Peng and walked away.

Yang Peng sat on the chair for a while, then stood up and walked out of the tent, followed by Jiang Li. Yang Peng came to the creek, strolling along the gurgling stream, breathing the fragrant fragrance of herbs in his nose, hehe, speaking of which, the world has completely deviated from the historical trajectory that he knows, at this time in history, although there is no Yang Peng, I am afraid that the Khitans have already entered the Central Plains; And at that time, although the Japanese people could not be considered weak, but they could not be as strong as they are today, and Goryeo was almost wiped out, isn't this something that should have happened?

Yang Peng shook his head with a wry smile, stopped, turned to face the stream, and saw the stream sparkling white under the reflection of the moonlight, and couldn't help thinking: I can't figure out now whether the relevant memory is real or a dream, maybe this is just an extremely real dream.

With a long sigh, he put his thoughts behind for the time being, turned around, and was about to return to the tent to rest, but he saw Jiang Li looking at herself in a daze, and couldn't help but wonder what she was thinking about at the moment, so he smiled and asked, "What are you thinking, so distracted?" ”

Jiang Li came back to her senses, and her beautiful eyes suddenly swelled up with excitement, and she suddenly threw herself into Yang Peng's arms, and Yang Peng was stunned. Jiang Li raised her head and said very emotionally and resentfully: "Master, you haven't loved me for a long time!" Yang Peng's heart fluttered, and then he felt guilty, and when he saw the delicate face in front of him as beautiful as a flower, he couldn't help but move his index finger. hugged Jiang Li, and then the two rolled down in the tall grass, Jiang Li muttered, like crying, and it was heartwarming. ……

The gaze turned to Yan'an Mansion.

Li Yuanzhong, the right general, and Li Bingchang, the crown prince, were discussing in the study, and at this moment, a close officer under Li Yuanzhong hurriedly rushed in, holding a letter in both hands and bowing down to report: "The prince, the general, the right prime minister sent someone to deliver a letter. ”

Li Yuanzhong and Li Bingchang were both moved, Li Yuanzhong hurriedly took the letter, opened the envelope and took out the stationery, opened the letter and looked at it. After a while, he sneered and said to Li Bingchang: "Yanyun's envoy insists on refusing to return the three prefectures of Hexi, Your Majesty has already agreed, and Your Majesty has also promised to return the 100,000 people who have been plundered. Li Bingchang said angrily: "How can my father give in to Yan Yun!" Li Yuanzhong said: "The peace agreement is about to be reached, Yan Yun will definitely not have any defenses at this moment, and he will never think that we will launch a surprise attack on them at this moment!" ”

Li Bingchang was taken aback, "Without the order of my father, how can I act without permission?" ”

Li Yuanzhong's eyes showed a strange brilliance, "His Royal Highness the Prince, before you led the army to the east, not only did you not build an inch, but also lost the three states of Hexi, Your Majesty is already dissatisfied with you, but those brothers of Your Highness have begun to gear up to replace them!" ......" Li Bingchang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, worried.

Li Yuanzhong continued: "If any of His Highness's brothers finally replaces His Highness, after His Majesty controls Bintian in the future, will he be able to spare His Highness who was once the crown prince?" ”

Li Bingchang couldn't help but think of an incident that happened in the Western Xia decades ago, the predecessor of the abolished prince, died tragically at home soon after the new emperor ascended the throne, although the court claimed that he had an emergency and died violently, but everyone knew that it was the poison of the new emperor, and things like this are not uncommon in history, if they are deposed, they are afraid that they will not escape such a doom. As soon as he thought of this, his face couldn't help but turn pale, cold sweat trickled, and his body trembled involuntarily.

Li Yuanzhong said: "Your Highness, now there is only one way to let Your Highness escape such a fate!" ……”

As soon as Li Bingchang heard this, he was like a drowning man grasping a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Please advise the general!" If he can escape this fate, this king will be greatly rewarded! ”

Li Yuanzhong said with a straight face: "It is natural for the last general to serve His Royal Highness, how dare you seek a reward!" Li Bing saw him say this, and couldn't help but be very moved.

I only heard Li Yuanzhong say: "Actually, this is not the idea of the last general alone, but the method that the last general and Prime Minister Zuo came up with together." Glancing at Li Bingchang, "Actually, the last general did not come by the emperor's order," Li Bingchang was stunned. Li Yuanzhong handed the letter from the right prime minister in his hand to Li Bingchang.

Li Bingchang felt a little surprised, took the letter, and read it. The expression on his face moved, and then his face showed a look of horror, raised his head and said a little overwhelmed: "This, this, such a way, I am afraid that my father will blame me!" Li Yuanzhong said categorically: "Now this is the only way to help His Highness get out of trouble!" Otherwise, the fate of His Highness is predictable! Secretly glanced at Li Bingchang, saw that he looked frightened, and was at a loss, "Hey, if His Royal Highness is willing to give up the position of crown prince, and is willing to be killed by the new emperor in the future, what else will the last general say?" The last general is just a courtier, the new emperor ascends the throne, and the last general at least does not lose his current position, the reason why he and the right prime minister admonished His Royal Highness is nothing more than to be in a loyal heart! But if His Highness gives up on himself and is willing to wait to be killed, we have no choice! ”

The words were extremely sincere, Li Bingchang couldn't help but be very moved, and said with red eyes: "The general and the right prime minister think so much about this king, this king, this king is really, I really don't know what to say!" ”

Li Yuanzhong suddenly stood up, clenched his fists and said: "Your Highness, the Han people have a good saying, 'When you are decided, you will continue to suffer from it'!" To His Highness, you can make a decision immediately! As long as this major event is done, His Royal Highness will not only shock the world, but also hold heavy troops, His Majesty will certainly turn his anger into joy for His Highness, and the princes can no longer be with His Royal Highness, even if someone has any ideas, hmph, with the prestige and strength of His Highness at that time, who can change anything? Li Bingchang was very moved. Li Yuanzhong saw that Li Bingchang showed an eager expression, and continued to strike while the iron was hot: "This important matter is actually not only important to His Highness, but also to my Great Xia!" If this major event is accomplished, my Western Xia can take advantage of the situation to seize Shanxi, and then go south to Henan, half of the Central Plains will be in my hands, and then my Western Xia strength will skyrocket, and I will be able to go south and the Northern Expedition to sweep the world! This is the foundation of the hegemony of the millennium, how can Your Highness miss it? ”

Li Bingchang had already been moved by Li Yuanzhong's words, but now he was enthusiastically boiled by Li Bingchang's words, where would there be any objections, and immediately said loudly: "The general's words made this king Mao Sai suddenly!" If the eldest husband can establish a thousand-year-old Great Xia Empire, what are the regrets in this life? ”

Li Yuanzhong immediately bowed: "Your Highness is wise! ”

Li Bingchang calmed down and frowned: "Although I have made up my mind, how should I act?" That Yan Yunjun is brave and fierce, let's be a little careless, I'm afraid that the situation will be reversed in an instant! Li Bingchang suffered a big loss from Yan Yunjun, and now he still has palpitations, although he has made up his mind to take this opportunity to raid Yan Yun, but he has no idea what to do.

Li Yuanzhong said confidently: "This matter has already been discussed with Prime Minister You, and His Royal Highness has invited him." Then he walked to the map hanging on one side, Li Bingchang followed, looked at the map, and saw that this map depicted the terrain of the entire Shaanxi and Gansu regions.

Li Yuanzhong pointed to the German army of Tongzhou, Danzhou, and Sui, and said, "More than 200,000 soldiers and horses of the Yanyun army are stationed in these three states," and then pointed to the German army of Sui, "Our army will first raid the German army of Sui." The last general and the right prime minister have already thought about it, didn't Your Majesty promise to return the 100,000 people who had been plundered? We can take advantage of this and disguise a large number of troops as civilians, and then bring them to the city of Sui De, only to say that it is the population that His Majesty has returned to Yanyun. The defenders of Suide will not be suspicious, and when they come out of the city to accept these populations, we will suddenly attack and attack Suide in one go! ”

After a pause, "This is only the first step, after breaking through Suide, I will deliberately release news to let the Yanyun army in Danzhou and Tongzhou in the south know that they will definitely lead the army north to support." Our army is fighting in the Duzhan Mountain," he said, pointing to a big mountain on the west bank of the Yellow River, which is the only way for Tongzhou and Danzhou to go north to Suide, and the terrain is dangerous. "Our army has set up an ambush on ten sides in Duzhan Mountain, and once Yanyun's reinforcements enter the encirclement, they will besiege them on all sides, and they will definitely be killed without leaving a piece of armor!"

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