In the big tent, Yang Peng stood in front of the map, his brows furrowed, as if the big victory not long ago had not happened.

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and he stopped a few steps behind him, and then Han Bing's voice came: "Big brother, the results of the battle and the data of our army's casualties have been counted." Yang Peng retracted his thoughts, turned around, saw Han Bing and Yang Erya, his eyes fell on Liang Hongyu, and asked, "How?" Liang Hongyu said: "The enemy army has more than 80,000 killed and more than 200,000 captured, plus the battle damage of the Khitan army in Datong Mansion and the loss of attacking Yanmen Pass, the loss of the Khitan army is close to 400,000!" In addition, the Khitan camp was burned down, and most of the grain and grass were turned into ashes! ”

Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Okay!" Victory! I'm afraid that there are less than 300,000 troops left in the hands of Yehu Tiger City, although there are still a lot of people, but they are frightened birds, and there is nothing to be afraid of! The two women smiled. Yang Peng asked, "What are the casualties of our army?" Liang Hongyu frowned slightly, "It's not small." Cao Jun suffered more than 20,000 casualties, our side suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the casualties of the military army were large, more than 30,000! ”

Yang Peng walked to the handsome seat and sat down, "Compared to the results of the battle, such casualties are not large!" The two women nodded in agreement.

Han Bing said: "Big brother, it's time to think about solving the problem of the Western Xia people!" Yang Peng frowned and said, "I was thinking about this matter just now!" There has been no news in the past few days, and I am very worried! Raising his head and looking at Han Bing and Yang Erya, "Now that Yeyu Tiger City has suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers have no fighting spirit, they should be able to draw out some of their troops." Hongyu, Qiongying, you stay where you are, and I will lead a part of my troops to the south to help! The two women glanced at each other and nodded, and they were also very worried about the situation in Yinzhou!

The states and counties in the west of Datong Mansion saw that the Yanyun army was menacing, so they all defected to Yanyun and swore allegiance to Yanyun, but later the Liao army was surging, as if it was unstoppable, and those states and counties saw the wind and turned the rudder, and immediately rushed to Yeyun Hucheng, thinking that the Yanyun army would be defeated, and Xijing Road would become the world of the Khitans. But the changes in the world really made them unable to react, and the Liao army, which was still imposing yesterday, was defeated in a blink of an eye, and was defeated for thousands of miles. After the states and counties were shocked, they hurriedly sent people to escort grain and grass materials to the Yanyun Army barracks.

Yelu Hucheng, who had already retreated to Hongzhou, learned about these situations, and he really wanted to cut those villains to pieces one by one before he could relieve his hatred. However, at this time, he could only think about it, and he couldn't do it if he really wanted to break them.

Ye Hu Cheng put these things aside for the time being, and asked Han Chang, "Isn't there any news from the Western Xia side yet?" Han Chang shook his head and said, "Not yet!" However, the scouts of our army found that Yang Peng's personal commander Yan Yun had gone south, and he must have gone to support northern Shaanxi, and the situation there should be very unfavorable for Yan Yunjun! Yelu Hucheng nodded thoughtfully.

Xiao Yegan asked, "King, can we take advantage of the present to fight back?" Tiger City shook his head, but didn't say why. Han Chang said to Xiao Ye: "We have suffered a new defeat, suffered heavy losses, and our morale is low, even if we fight back, it will be useless." Unless, unless the Western Xia invades Shanxi, the Yanyun army is in turmoil, our opportunity will come! Da Lazy sighed, "I didn't expect our future to be decided by other people's results!" An unintentional sentence stabbed everyone's hearts.

An officer rushed in from outside, and reported urgently: "King, the minister is here!" Everyone was shocked, and then they couldn't help but worry, thinking that it must be the imperial court that had received the defeat report and made a decision, and they all looked at Yelu Tiger City. Ye Hu Cheng did not dare to slack off, and immediately got up and led the generals to greet him. When I came to the gate, I saw a black canopy carriage guarded by the Yulin Army. Yelu Hucheng took the lead and bowed: "Welcome to the minister!" "Although Ye Hu Cheng has an honorable position, the minister of the Qin mission represents the emperor and is the empress dowager, and he can't be lazy. The generals followed and bowed: "Greetings to the minister!" ”

The curtain opened, and a man got out of the car. Ye Hu Cheng raised his eyes and looked at it, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said in surprise: "It's you!?" When the generals saw that it was Prime Minister Han Derang, they couldn't help but let go of their originally hanging hearts. Han Derang smiled and said to Ye Yu Hucheng: "Don't come to the king? Ye Hu Cheng sighed, then grabbed Han Derang's arm and walked inside, saying as he walked: "Let's talk inside!" The two men entered the gate, and the generals followed.

When the crowd came to the hall, Yehu Hucheng and Han Derang sat side by side at the top, and the rest of the generals stood on either side below. Han Derang said: "The emperor and the empress dowager have already learned about the situation here......

Tiger City sighed, "I'm ashamed! Glancing at Han Derang, "I am ashamed of the trust placed in the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty!" Han Derang frowned and asked, "Then Yan Wang Yang Peng is really so powerful?" Is the Yan Yun Army really invincible? Yaron Tiger City sighed and didn't speak. Han Chang said: "Actually, the king has already done a very good job, if it were another opponent, he would have been defeated by us a long time ago!" But that Yang Peng was really cunning as a fox and as fierce as a tiger, every strategy of our army was defeated at the last moment, and our army finally fell into the trap he carefully arranged! Immediately, Han Chang recounted in detail the main battles during this period.

Han Derang listened carefully, and after Han Chang finished speaking, he couldn't help but say: "In this way, Yang Peng and his Yan Yunjun are really difficult to deal with!" Ye Hu Cheng said: "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to admit it!" To be honest, it was really painful to meet an opponent like Yan Yun! Then he raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "But it's also very happy!" Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Han Derang exclaimed: "The king of the protector of the country is the king of the protector of the country, and he is full of pride!" ”

Yeron Tiger City waved his hand, "I can't talk about it!" Compared with Yang Peng, the king of Yan, what am I worth, my subordinates are defeated! ”

Han Derang asked curiously, "The king doesn't hate him?" Ye Hu Cheng's eyes widened, as if a beast suddenly became angry, "Hate! Of course hate! I can't wait to break him into pieces, and I can't wait to skin him and tear him apart! But I admire him even more, under this sky, he is the number one hero! ”

Han Derang frowned and said: "This number one hero, the great hero, is the mortal enemy of our Great Liao Kingdom!" Tiger City frowned and nodded. Han Derang said to Yehu Hucheng, "I brought the Empress Dowager's decree," and as he spoke, he took out a yellow silk scroll from his sleeve cage and handed it to Yehu Hucheng. Ye Hu Cheng hurriedly took the scroll, unfolded it and looked at it, his expression was shocked, and he hurriedly looked at Han Derang, "The Empress Dowager wants to make peace with Yan Yun?" When the generals heard this, they began to talk about it, and then gradually fell silent.

Han Derang nodded, "That's what the ministers mean. Since the war between our Great Liao State and Yanyun, there have been many defeats and few victories, and the continuous loss of troops will lose the land and land, everyone thinks that if we continue to fight, we are only afraid of losing more, so we all advocate peace! What's more, the threat facing our Great Liao State is not only the Yan Yun family, but also the Mongols in the north and the Japanese people on the Goryeo side, both of which have a bad relationship with our Great Liao State, and there is friction from time to time, maybe one day we will meet with our Great Liao State, and we really don't have the energy or strength to fight with Yan Yun anymore! ”

Yelu Hucheng was silent for a moment and asked, "What about Datong Mansion?" What about those prefectures and counties to the west of Datong Province? Han Derang said: "A strong man breaks his wrist, and he must give it up when necessary!" Ye Hu Cheng waved his hand: "I don't agree!" Han Derang was surprised, "The king ,......"

Ye Hu Cheng said: "It's too early to say victory or defeat now!" Han Derang looked puzzled. Yelu Hucheng briefly explained the situation in Western Xia and the situation in Tubo, and finally said: "If those two families make a breakthrough, I am afraid that the Yanyun army will not be able to maintain the current victory!" Our army will take the opportunity to counterattack and will definitely be able to fight through the Yanmen Pass! ”

Han Derang pondered: "If you say this, it seems that there is still a chance!" "Of course there's a chance!"

Han Derang glanced at Yeyu Tiger City and said in embarrassment: "But the will of the Empress Dowager and His Majesty, you and I must not disobey it!" Ye Hu Cheng said: "Of course you can't disobey, just postpone this matter!" The Han people have a good saying, 'The king's life will not be affected by the foreign king', is it not as flexible as the Han people in our Great Liao Kingdom? Han Derang frowned and said, "Do you want me to press this matter for the time being and wait for the development of the situation?" ”

Ye Hu Cheng said: "If our army can drive straight in, I believe that the Empress Dowager will also be happy, and she will be able to explain to the nobles, and for our Great Liao Kingdom, there will undoubtedly be countless benefits!" ”

Han Derang nodded, looked at Ye Yu Tiger City, his eyes were firm, and he had obviously made up his mind, "Okay, I'll do as you say!" "Great! Han Derang advised: "But I have a word first, the time is at most half a month, and I can't do anything more." Ye Hu Cheng nodded, "There will definitely be results in half a month, no problem!" Then he smiled and said: "The prime minister finally came here, let's have a good drink!" Immediately, he called the soldiers and ordered them to go to the backyard to prepare food and drinks, and the soldiers ran down as promised.

Han Derang and Ya Hu Cheng stood up and prepared to leave the hall. At this moment, a pro-soldier officer rushed in with a dusty officer. Seeing this, the two couldn't help but stop. The pro-soldier officer hurriedly reported: "King, there is news of Western Xia!" Everyone was shocked, and immediately looked at the dusty officer, who reported: "My lord, the villain is a scout who is watching the enemy army in front, and this morning by chance I suddenly heard a message, saying, ",......" The officer's face was full of fear, perhaps too anxious, and the words behind were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say it for a while.

When everyone saw this, their hearts were anxious, and Ye Hu Cheng shouted angrily: "Say it quickly! What exactly is the news? The officer's lips trembled, swallowed his saliva, and said: "The villain heard that the Western Xia army has retreated with heavy losses!" When Ye Hu Cheng and the others saw the officer's expression, they had already guessed that it was definitely not good news, but when they heard him tell the news, they couldn't help but be taken aback, and it felt as if a hope they had been thinking about in their hearts suddenly failed. Yelu Hucheng frowned, was silent for a moment, and asked angrily, "Where did you get this news?" ”

The officer said: "The villain was ordered to lay an ambush between Yanmen Pass and Datong Mansion to monitor Yanyun's movements, and this morning, the villain led his subordinates to ambush in the bushes next to the official road as before. It didn't take long for a few Yan Yun to order fast horses to appear, and the villains and others originally wanted to attack, but seeing that the other party had no chance to run at full speed, they had to lie in place. When the Yanyun cavalry passed by, they heard several of them talking loudly on their horses, and one of them said, "The Tanguts are more wasteful than the Khitans, and the 300,000 army was defeated by us like that!" The other said: 'Who says it isn't!' In this way, our Yanyun can be said to have won a big victory! Then the heralds ran away, and there was the sound of horses' hooves, and the rest of the words could not be heard clearly. When the villain heard these words, he knew that things were extraordinary, so he hurried back to report to the king! ”

Ye Hu Cheng snorted coldly, "I think those Han people knew that you were hiding there, so they deliberately came to you and said that!" The officer blinked in surprise, not knowing what to say.

Han Chang said: "What the king said is extremely true! This matter is also too coincidental, why did those Yanyun's herald cavalry happen to come to the front of our army scouts and say something like that? I think nine times out of ten it is a trick on Yan Yun's side! Maybe the situation in the south is critical, and Yang Peng wants to use this method to scare us away, so he can concentrate on dealing with the Tanguts! The generals nodded in agreement, and they all felt that what Han Chang said was extremely true.

Han Derang frowned and said, "But these are just speculations!" Looking at Yeron Tiger City, "My Majesty, I think we should send someone to verify the situation. Ye Hu Cheng nodded, and said to Han Chang: "Han Chang, you immediately send a few clever people to the Western Xia country to understand the situation, and report any situation immediately!" Han Chang promised and hurried down.

When such an emergency happened, Yeyu Hucheng didn't have the heart to drink, walked to the map, looked at the map and thought about it, his brows furrowed tightly, and he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: Could it be that Yan Yun even defeated ...... Xixia?

Xijing Road was not far from Western Xia, and a few days later, several officers sent to Western Xia to inquire about the news hurriedly returned. Several officers all looked anxious and saluted Ya Hu Cheng together. Yelu Hucheng asked urgently, "How is it, is it fake?" Several officers raised their heads and looked at Yeyu Tiger City with frightened eyes, and the officer at the head said, "Yes, it's true!" When they heard this, their hearts were shaken.

I only heard the officer continue: "Li Zongdao's 300,000-strong army was almost wiped out!" ”

Yelu Tiger City was furious, "How can this be? Yinzhou is flat, even if it can't be attacked, it won't be killed by Yan Yun in an instant and almost wiped out, right? ”

The officer said: "I heard that the Yanyun army set up an ambush at the Shendui Station dozens of miles northwest of Yinzhou before the arrival of the Western Xia army, Li Zongdao was unaware and was suddenly ambushed when he passed by the Shendui Station. The Western Xia army was defeated and suffered heavy losses, and retreated to the banks of the Heishui River. The Yanyun army followed and launched another fierce attack, and the Western Xia army was in turmoil, and only resisted for one night, as a result, the military camp was breached, and the army was once again defeated. Originally, the Western Xia army might have been wiped out, but at this time, Li Cunxiao, the general of the right wing of the Western Xia, actually broke through the direction of Yanyun's Great Wall Ridge and attacked northern Shaanxi, forcing the Yanyun army on the front line to turn back and counterattack the Great Wall Ridge, which made Li Zongdao's army escape the catastrophe. Subsequently, Li Zongdao led the remnants of the defeated army to retreat to Xiazhou, and Li Cunxiao, after learning the news of the return of the main force of the Yanyun Army, took the initiative to retreat and abandoned the Great Wall Ridge and retreated to Hongzhou! ”

Yelu Tiger City was so angry that he died, "That's the end of it?" The officer nodded, "Yes." ”

Yelu Tiger City only felt that he was holding his breath, but there was nowhere to vent. Han Derang sighed: "The division of Yanyun Tiger and Wolf is really worthy of its reputation!" Hey, it seems that it is a wise move to make peace with Yan Yun! "Although Ye Yu Tiger City is reluctant in every way, but things have developed to this point, what can he say.

Han Derang said: "The king, the matter has come to this, don't think about it too much, the defense here will be entrusted to the king, and I will send Yan Yun to negotiate peace with him in accordance with the orders of the empress dowager and His Majesty." ”……

After Li Qingxia left Tubo, she went all the way east, and went straight to Bianjing with a smooth wind. First of all, Li Qingxia went to meet Wang Qinruo, because she knew that Wang Qinruo was the most opposed minister to Yanyun in the Song court, and the emperor trusted him very much.

"I don't know that Her Royal Highness the princess has arrived, I missed the distance, forgive my sins!" Wang Qinruo came out to greet him with a smile on his face. Li Qingxia, who was dressed in a Hanfu long skirt, bowed her head slightly, and said with a smile: "Qingxia took the liberty to visit, don't blame the Prime Minister!" Wang Qinruo smiled and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is a guest who can't be invited, and now the light is descending on the cold house, and the cold house is full of brilliance!" Then he stepped aside and stretched out his hand, "Your Highness, please!" Li Qingxia walked into the hall with her feet raised, followed by two personal maids.

Everyone entered the hall and sat down. Wang Qinruo asked: "I don't know if Her Royal Highness the princess descends to the cold house, what do you think?" Li Qingxia smiled slightly, "I have long heard that Wang Qinruo, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, is a talented person, so I came to make a friend of the prime minister." Then he clapped his palms. Immediately two guards came in the doorway, each holding something in his hand, a long silk bag in the left guard's hand, and a wooden box in the right guard's hand. Wang Qinruo understood, but pretended to be puzzled: "This is ......"

Li Qingxia stood up, walked in front of the two guards, stretched out her hand and opened the wooden box, there was no pearl shining, but it was a thick and simple inkstone, and the coiled dragon and phoenix showed an extraordinary imperial atmosphere. Seeing this, Qin Hui's heart couldn't help but move. Li Qingxia turned around, pointed to the inkstone, and said with a smile: "The prime minister has studied through the past and the present, and he must be able to recognize the origin of this ancient inkstone!" ”

Wang Qinruo stared at the ancient inkstone, frowned slightly, and said uncertainly: "Could it be that it is the legendary 'Dragon and Phoenix Duan Yan' of the legendary Empress Li?" Li Qingxia exclaimed: "The Prime Minister is really extraordinary, I recognized the origin of this inkstone at a glance, admire and admire!" ”

Wang Qinruo smiled, his eyes fell on the inkstone and could no longer be separated, and his eyes clearly showed great affection. With Wang Qinruo's current wealth, he can't look down on gold, silver, jewelry, or anything, and only rare treasures full of literati temperament such as 'dragon and phoenix duanyan' can impress him.

Li Qingxia followed and opened the long silk bag, revealing a scroll, Li Qingxia beckoned to the two maids, and the two maids immediately stepped forward, carefully picked up the scroll, and slowly opened it. Wang Qinruo suddenly looked startled, got up, walked quickly to the scroll, stared at it with wide eyes, his eyes were full of shock, and his lips trembled: "This, this is the true work of Lan Tingxu!?" ”

Li Qingxia smiled and nodded, "Not bad." The Prime Minister is really a good eye! Wang Qinruo said in disbelief: "I heard, I heard that the true work of Lan Tingxu has long been buried in the tomb of Tang Taizong, but I didn't expect it to see the light of day again!" ”

Li Qingxia smiled and gestured to the two maids, who carefully rolled up the Lan Tingxu and put it back in the hands of the guards, and then retreated behind Li Qingxia. Li Qingxia pointed to the two things in the hands of the guards and smiled: "These two treasures, falling into my hands are really pearls, but the prime minister is different, the rich five cars are only eight buckets, these two treasures are only in the hands of the prime minister!" ”

Wang Qinruo came back to his senses and couldn't help but say gratefully: "Oh, Her Royal Highness the princess is so loving, how dare I be!" Li Qingxia smiled and said: "Between friends, why bother saying these extraneous words!" Wang Qinruo nodded vigorously, "We are friends, good friends!" He beckoned to the two Yu Marquis next to him, and the two of them understood, stepped forward, followed the next two treasures, and then stepped aside.

Wang Qinruo invited Li Qingxia to sit, and the two sat down. Wang Qinruo said: "It is really a blessing for Wang to be able to make a friend like Her Royal Highness the Princess. But if you want to use Wang's place, His Royal Highness can speak! ”

Li Qingxia smiled and said, "Don't dare, Qingxia has something to ask the Prime Minister for help." Wang Qinruo listened to him. Li Qingxia asked, "Presumably the Prime Minister has already heard about my country's war with Yan Yun?" Wang Qinruo's heart moved, and he nodded, "I heard." The king of Yan was reckless, raised troops to attack the Xijing Road of Liao, and Daxia was indignant and raised troops to rescue, and the war is still in a stalemate. ”

Li Qingxia frowned, "Yan Yun is so reckless, he is a threat to everyone in the world, if he is not exterminated early, everyone will not have a good life in the future!" Wang Qinruo glanced at Li Qingxia, "Does Her Royal Highness the princess want our Great Song Dynasty to also send troops to attack Yanyun?" ”

Li Qingxia nodded, "Exactly!" Wang Qinruo frowned, "Actually, Her Royal Highness and I have the same idea, the forces like Yan Yun that are arrogant and rude and trample on morality must be eradicated!" "It's just and awe-inspiring. glanced at Li Qingxia, "Don't hide it from the princess, before the princess came, I persuaded Your Majesty more than once to take advantage of this opportunity to raise troops to the north and destroy Yan Yun's future troubles in one go!" When Li Qingxia heard this, she couldn't help but feel anxious, but she was well versed in diplomacy, but she was quiet, as if she didn't care too much. If Wang Qinruo saw her like this, he thought that the Western Xia side was confident, and he didn't care so much about whether the Great Song Dynasty sent troops.

After all, what happened next, and listen to the next breakdown.
