Yang Peng couldn't help but be emotional, and hugged Yelu Hanyu tightly, and Yelu Hanyu was like a pool of spring water, melting in Yang Peng's arms. Suddenly thinking of something, he hurriedly left Yang Peng's arms and looked around, but he didn't see a person, Wang Kai and other secret guards who were still in the big tent just now disappeared. Yang Peng smiled and asked, "What are you looking for?" Yelu Hanyu turned around and glanced at Yang Peng.

couldn't help but throw himself into Yang Peng's arms again, his eyes showed a look of memory, and he muttered, "Big brother, do you remember the scene when we met?" ”

Yang Peng smiled, and his hand around Yelu Hanyu's slender waist couldn't help but tighten, and said, "How can you forget, you will remember it for the rest of your life!" He glanced down at Yelu Hanyu and said with a smile: "At that time, Guanyin asked me to shoot a gorse's head, I thought that Her Royal Highness Princess Da Liao was going to test my martial arts, but I didn't expect that I was actually choosing a husband, it was really unexpected!" Yelu Hanyu smiled, raised his head from Yang Peng's arms, and said stupidly: "I don't know why, as soon as I saw my eldest brother at that time, a feeling that I had never felt before surged in my heart!" Hmph, I have seen countless men in the world, but in my heart they are no different from dung! ”

Yelu Hanyu's words naturally reveal a haughty attitude, high up, looking at the men in the world as nothing, that is the Yelu Hanyu of the year. In fact, today's Yelu Hanyu is not like this, she is a proud princess in front of others, only in front of Yang Peng, she will become a real woman, her tenderness only belongs to one person, that is her eldest brother.

Yelu Hanyu glanced at Yang Peng, and his expression immediately became gentle again, "Only the eldest brother makes my heart swell with an unprecedented impulse, I just want to throw myself into the arms of the eldest brother, I just want to get the caress of the eldest brother, all the fame and fortune have become unimportant, I just want to be the little woman in the arms of the eldest brother who doesn't have to think about anything!" ”

Yang Peng was moved, and hugged Yelu Hanyu tightly with both hands. Yelu Hanyu buried his head in Yang Peng's arms, and a touching smile appeared on his beautiful face. The two didn't speak anymore, enjoying the warmth of this moment.

That Zheng Heicheng hurried back to the city. Seeing Wei Mingji, who had been waiting anxiously, he bowed down and said, "General, the last general is back." Wei Mingji walked in front of Zheng Heicheng in three steps and two steps, and asked urgently, "Have you seen King Yan?" What did King Yan say? ”

That Zhenghei said: "I saw King Yan." King Yan, he did not agree to the general's request, and only agreed to canonize the general as the governor of Dingzhou after the matter was completed. Wei Mingji was furious, "It's too much to deceive people!" I Wei Mingji has tens of thousands of male soldiers, occupies Dingzhou Jiancheng, and surrenders to him, what a great merit is that, it is more than enough to be crowned the governor of Western Xia, and King Yan is so stingy with his name, it is really chilling! Hmph, if you provoke Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will fight with him to the end, see if he regrets it or not! ”……

Early the next morning, Yanyun's army poured out of the nest and lined up under the city of Dingzhou, the army was like a mountain, and the murderous spirit was soaring.

Yang Peng glanced at the city in front of him, and was ready to give the order to attack the city. At this moment, the gate of Dingzhou suddenly opened. Yang Peng and others were very surprised: Who dares to take the initiative to fight?

I saw tens of thousands of Western Xia soldiers pouring out of the city gate. Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu glanced at each other, both feeling incredible, Yang Jing shouted: "His grandmother's courage is not small, she actually dares to come out of the turtle shell to fight with us in the field!" ”

After a while, tens of thousands of troops in Western Xia all rushed out of the city gate, looking at this posture, it seems that the defenders in the city poured out, so does Wei Mingji want to fight to the death? Then, something unexpected happened, only to see that the tens of thousands of Western Xia soldiers threw away their blades one after another, and then fell to their knees, and tens of thousands of horses knelt on a large area of black pressure. Just when Yang Peng and the others were surprised, several knights galloped out of the city and came to the front of the Western Xia army. Yang Peng glanced at it and recognized that one of the knights was the Zheng Heicheng who had come last night, and he followed a middle-aged man with a thin and gloomy face.

I saw Wei Mingji and others riding their horses and rushing straight over, and when they came to Yan Yunjun, they stopped their horses more than ten steps in front of Yan Yunjun, turned over and dismounted, knelt on the ground, and Wei Mingji raised his voice and said: "The criminal minister Wei Mingji and the soldiers and civilians of the whole city surrender to King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, rode his horse to Wei Mingji and the others, glanced at Wei Mingji, and said loudly: "The general abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, I am very happy!" The general's move saved many lives from misery, and the credit was not small, so I named the general the governor of Dingzhou to manage the affairs of Dingzhou. Wei Mingji was originally worried that Yang Peng would eat his own preface, but now when he saw him say this in front of hundreds of thousands of people on both sides, he was naturally sure, and he couldn't help but thank him.

Yang Peng glanced at the tens of thousands of Western Xia soldiers kneeling on the ground in the distance, and said in a loud voice: "All the Western Xia soldiers who surrender to sincerity will be rewarded with one tael of silver, one pound of wine, and one pound of meat; The people of Dingzhou are the people of Yanyun from now on, enjoying the same treatment as the people of Yanyun, and all the interests of the people of Yanyun, such as property and houses, are protected by the Yanyun army, and any behavior that harms the people of Yanyun will be severely punished! ”

The Western Xia soldiers were originally nervous, not knowing what kind of situation they would face after surrendering, and they were more worried that Yan Yunjun would massacre and loot after entering Dingzhou City, most of these Western Xia soldiers were locals of Dingzhou, so they were very worried about the situation of the people of Dingzhou. However, after listening to Yang Peng's declaration, his uneasy heart couldn't help but drop more than half, and at the same time, he felt grateful in his heart, and couldn't help but bow one after another: "Long live, long live......

Immediately, under the leadership of Wei Mingji and others, Yanyun's army marched into Dingzhou City, and to the north of Xingqing Mansion, the extremely critical Dingzhou City went down without a fight. Wasn't Wei Mingji dissatisfied with Yang Peng and decided to fight to the end, why did he suddenly run out and surrender? Hehe, how can a person like him believe in his determination, the so-called desperate fight to the end is just a few angry words, and it is impossible to really do that after saying it. After thinking about it carefully, Wei Mingji finally decided to join the Yan Yunjun, although the official position of the governor of Dingzhou was much lower than his previous thoughts, but it was also very good.

Yang Peng entered the lobby of the official office and sat down. Wei Mingji brought his generals and officials from Dingzhou to the hall to pay respects: "Meet His Royal Highness King Yan, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”

Yang Peng raised his voice and said, "You don't have to be polite. "King Xie Yan!" Then the people stood up, but they still hung their heads in a deferential manner.

Yang Peng asked Wei Mingji: "I heard that there is a lot of money and grain hoarded in Dingzhou City, is that so?" Wei Mingji hurriedly said: "Back to King Yan, it's true." 500,000 quintals of grain and more than 2 million yuan of money were hoarded in Dingzhou City! Then he took out a booklet from his bosom, held his hands above the top, stepped forward, bowed and said, "This is a detailed account, please look at it King Yan!" Wang Kai immediately went down, took the booklet, and forwarded it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the booklet, opened it and read it, put down the booklet, and said: "Except for a small part of this money and grain left for local civil affairs, the rest will be handed over to our army for military expenses!" Wei Mingji bowed down and agreed, and then exclaimed: "King Yan still left so much money and food for the people, what a man of benevolence and righteousness!" We are really fortunate to be able to follow a monarch like King Yan! Other officials were also busy patting their ass: "King Yan is benevolent and righteous, it is really the well-being of our people in Western Xia!" "King Yan is compassionate and compassionate, how can those tyrants and ministers of Western Xia be the opponents of King Yan!" "King Yan punishes the crime on behalf of the sky, and he will definitely be able to conquer the world with one drum!" ……

Yang Peng only felt extremely disgusted in the face of a sound of sycophants. When these voices subsided, Chen Xiao asked Wei Mingji: "Where are the corpses of Wei Mingyi and others?" ”

Wei Mingji hurriedly said: "They are all buried in the mass graves in the city." Yang Peng said angrily: "How can you be so hasty? Immediately exhum their bodies and rebury them according to their official positions! Although they are enemies, they must also pay three points of respect! ”

Wei Mingji hurriedly agreed, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart. ……

At noon that day, Li Qingxia, who had been busy all morning, dined in the imperial study. Suddenly, his right hand trembled, and the chopsticks he was holding fell to the ground. Li Qingxia has been restless recently, but now her hands are trembling for no reason and her chopsticks are falling, she can't help but feel even more uneasy, and she can't help but murmur: "Could it be that something happened?" ”

Just then, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Li Qingxia looked up at the door, and saw a general in military uniform and a left and right prime minister in official robes hurrying in. Now that the situation is tense, in order to facilitate the discussion of the military situation with her subordinates, Li Qingxia specially issued an edict that the generalissimo and the prime ministers can directly enter the harem without passing the notification.

Li Qingxia stood up, walked around the desk and walked to the middle of the imperial study. Li Zongdao and the three of them rushed to Li Qingxia, and Li Zongdao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Dingzhou is in urgent military situation!" ......" Li Qingxia's heart moved, and she pretended to be calm and asked, "Yang Peng is dead?" Li Zongdao shook his head, "Li Tuo's action failed, and he committed suicide in shame!" ”

Li Qingxia's heart was shocked, her body shook slightly, and then she stabilized, frowned slightly and said: "It's actually the worst situation, the sky doesn't bless me in Daxia!" He looked at Li Zongdao and the others and asked, "Why did Li Tuo's action fail?" The three of them glanced at each other and shook their heads together, Li Zong said: "The others didn't enter the big tent to see Yang Peng, they didn't know what happened at all, they only knew that Yang Peng suddenly drove them out, and then Li Tuo committed suicide in the carriage!" We deduce the scene from other people's accounts: Li Tuo's operation failed, but Yang Peng did not kill him, but insulted him and drove him out of the barracks. Li Tuo must have felt ashamed of His Majesty's trust, so he chose to commit suicide to apologize! ”

Li Qingxia closed her eyes, then opened them, and said with emotion: "Although Li Tuo failed, he is worthy of being a warrior of our Great Xia!" He glanced at the three of them and said, "The assassination failed, Yang Peng must be furious, and he will raise a large army to storm Dingzhou!" There are only 40,000 or 50,000 defenders in Dingzhou, and it is difficult to resist the enemy army for a long time, so I decided to send 30,000 reinforcements to support Dingzhou! The three of them looked worried, and Li Tongren said: "Your Majesty, in this situation, our family can't resist the Yan Yunjun no matter what, and we should immediately ask the Khitan people and the Song people for help!" They must understand the truth of cold lips and teeth! If we collapse, Yan Yunjun's next target will definitely be them! ”

Li Zongdao frowned and said: "The Khitans are now too busy to take care of themselves, and the army is fighting a fierce war with the Japanese people in Goryeo, where do we still have the strength to support us?" As for the Song people, hmph, those cowardly literati have long been frightened by Yan Yun, where do they dare to take the initiative to scratch the tiger whiskers of Yan Yun, a tiger? ”

Li Tongren said urgently: "According to the meaning of the generalissimo's words, we can only fight alone?" Li Zongdao said: "We can only rely on ourselves, and no one can rely on us!" Li Tongren was silent. Li Qingxia saw that the two prime ministers looked discouraged, and comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, in fact, as long as we hold on for a while, Yan Yun himself will retreat!" The Yanyun army marched north and south side by side, marching thousands of miles, and the grain and grass were greatly consumed, and I estimate that the grain and grass they had raised with great difficulty before the war had been almost consumed! As long as we hold on for a while longer, the Yanyun Army will definitely retreat! ”

The two prime ministers' originally worried mood eased a little. At this moment, a herald stumbled in, knelt down with a thud, and stammered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, no, it's not good, Dingzhou, Dingzhou, Dingzhou was taken by Yan Yunjun!" ”

When everyone heard this, they only felt their heads explode suddenly, Li Qingxia walked quickly to the herald, and asked angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?" How could Yan Yunjun take Dingzhou so quickly? There are nearly 50,000 troops in Dingzhou, and there is a strong city to rely on, how can Yan Yunjun take Dingzhou without ten days and half a month! ”

The herald hurriedly said: "It's Wei Mingji, he surrendered to Yan Yun, and Yan Yun went down without a fight!" Everyone was even more shocked, Li Qingxia staggered back a few steps, slammed into the bookcase, glanced at the herald, and asked angrily, "What about the righteousness?" Did he surrender too? ”

"According to the news found by the spies, the governor of Dingzhou, the governor of Shaodu, and several of their cronies and generals were all killed by Wei Mingji!" Li Qingxia was furious, gritted her teeth and scolded: "Wei Mingji, you are a rebel, you are still a descendant of Wei Ming's family!" I'm so blind, I thought you were a loyal servant, you pig and dog are not as good as things! ”

The right prime minister said worriedly: "Dingzhou is lost, and there is no barrier at all in the north of Xingqing Mansion, but I am afraid that it will not be long before the Yanyun army will come to the city!" Li Qingxia said categorically: "The king is dead, I will never surrender, I swear to fight with Yan Yun to the end!" The three of them couldn't help but perk up, and Li Zongdao said excitedly: "The last general will live and die with His Majesty!" ”

At this moment, there was another sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and the three of them couldn't help but get nervous, worried that there was some bad news coming. They all looked towards the door, and saw another herald rushing in in a hurry, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the south, Yinzhou has been captured by the Yanyun army, and the whole army of General Epang's headquarters has been wiped out!" ......" Everyone was shocked, and their hearts sank suddenly. Then he listened to the herald and said: "Xiping Mansion was captured by Yang Yanzhao's department, and General Li Yuantong was killed!" Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom, and the successive bad news made everyone dizzy and overwhelmed. ……

Li Zongdao, Hu Daochong, and Li Tongren left the palace and bid farewell to each other in front of the palace gate. Dao Chong sighed, "The matter has come to this, it seems that the sky is going to die in our Great Xia!" Li Zongdao said categorically: "Since ancient times, no one has died, and it is absolutely impossible for Yang Peng to want us to give in!" The two prime ministers didn't say anything, and their expressions were gloomy. Li Zongdao said: "I'm going to the barracks, say goodbye." The two immediately said: "Generalissimo, let's go!" Li Zongdao turned his horse and led the soldiers to the west. Hu Daochong and Li Tongren turned their horses' heads and headed east, and their entourage was clustered in front and back.

"How about we find a quiet place to talk?" Li Tongren nodded and glanced at Daochong, "I also have this intention." It's not far from the house, so why don't you go and sit down. Dao Chong nodded and said, "Okay!" ”

The group entered Li Tongren's mansion, and the two went straight to the study, and Li Tongren retreated. He said, "Prime Minister, now that the matter is over, do you have a way to solve the crisis?" Li Tongren sighed and said helplessly: "The situation has reached this point, what else can be done?" Our army has been defeated in successive battles, lost divisions and lost ground, suffered heavy losses, and the remaining army is also without fighting spirit and will have no fighting spirit, and Yanyun's hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves are in full swing! Hey, if you say something you shouldn't say, the defeat is decided, and there is nothing you can do! ”

"Not really! Li Tongren hurriedly looked at Dao Chong, "Could it be that the prime minister actually has a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?" Daochong nodded. Li Tongren was puzzled: "In this case, why didn't the prime minister explain it to His Majesty just now?" ”

He glanced at Li Tongren and said inscrutablely: "If I make it clear to Your Majesty, this strategy will be useless, and I will die without a place to be buried!" Li Tongren looked dazed, only feeling that Dao Chong's words were really unfathomable and inexplicable.

He rushed out of his seat, walked to Li Tongren's side, leaned over, and whispered a few words in Li Tongren's ear. Li Tongren's eyes widened, Huo Ran got up, glared at the Dao and shouted, "How dare you ......? ”

He said: "Now there is only this way!" Then he frowned, "According to the people who came back from the mission, King Yan was originally very happy about the arrival of the mission, and King Yan should be willing to negotiate peace!" But the self-righteous assassination has completely messed things up! King Yan was furious, and in an instant, Dingzhou, Yinzhou, and Xiping Mansion fell, and more than 100,000 horses were wiped out, and our Great Xia was one step closer to the catastrophe! ”

After a pause, "It's useless now, unless you can eliminate King Yan's anger, as long as you eliminate King Yan's anger, I believe that peace talks will succeed." And the method I just said is the only way to eliminate the anger of King Yan. Li Tongren felt that what he said was reasonable, but he felt that that kind of approach was really inappropriate, so he couldn't make a decision for a while and didn't speak.

Rushing to hit the railroad while it was hot: "I know what the prime minister is worried about, how can I be willing to do this!" But the situation has reached such a point now, and I can only abandon the small and protect the big! The survival of our entire party clan is much more important than the honor and disgrace of one person! ”

Li Tongren was moved, sighed, and said helplessly: "It seems that it can only be like this!" "The prime minister agreed, and the matter was secure!" Then he told Li Tongren about the specific plan. Li Tongren frowned and nodded, glanced at Dao Chong, and said: "I have no opinion on anything else, I just feel that this matter is out of helplessness, we should try to kill as few people as possible!" Dao Chong swore solemnly: "The prime minister doesn't have to worry about this, and I don't want to kill more!" ”……

Late at night, Li Qingxia was still standing in front of the map frowning and thinking, she wanted to find a good way to bring Great Xia back to life, but in the face of Yan Yun's overwhelming military might, any strategy had lost its effectiveness, and it seemed that the outcome had been decided.

Suddenly there was a noise outside, as if many people were shouting in the distance. Li Qingxia was worried, and when she heard these voices, she couldn't help but feel angry, and raised her voice to ask, "What's going on outside?" A female guard rushed in, knelt down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it seems that there is a noise coming from the side of the main hall, and General Gao Feng has already brought someone to check it out!" ”

Li Qingxia frowned, "The main hall? At this moment, a louder noise came, and it seemed to have entered the backyard, and at the same time, there was actually the sound of swords and soldiers screaming. Li Qingxia was shocked, she realized that there had been a mutiny, and immediately said to the female guard in front of her: "Immediately send a signal rocket and order the generalissimo to lead the army into the palace!" ”

The female guard promised, and at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and I saw Gao Feng, who was covered in blood, stumbling in, and Li Qingxia and the others were shocked. Gao Feng knelt down on one knee while covering his wound, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, go quickly!" The rebels have already entered the harem, and we can't resist it! ”

Li Qingxia said: "I'm not leaving!" What can the rebels do, as long as the generalissimo arrives with his army, the rebels will die and have no place to bury! Gao Feng hurriedly shook his head; The Generalissimo has already been killed by them! Li Qingxia was shocked.

Kill! Yes! …… The sound of the fight had approached not far from the imperial study. Gao Feng was anxious, so he quickly got up and ordered the female guard: "You protect Your Majesty and kill me out!" The female guard answered, pulled out the scimitar at her waist, and then ran to Li Qingxia's side, supported Li Qingxia with her left hand and followed Gao Feng out of the imperial study.

As soon as I got out of the imperial study, I saw a large number of rebels in the corridor not far away, and the Imperial Forest Army was desperately resisting, but the rebels were numerous, and the battle situation was very unfavorable for the Royal Forest Army. Gao Feng and the others hurriedly escorted Li Qingxia towards the back door of the palace. When they reached the back door, the back door was suddenly slammed open, and the rebels rushed in with a shout. Gao Feng and the others were shocked, and quickly stopped to protect Li Qingxia!

The rebels rushed in with shouts, and in the blink of an eye, they surrounded Li Qingxia and the others. The scene suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little strange. Li Qingxia pushed away the peak in front of her, and shouted angrily at the rebels: "Do you want to rebel? The rebels felt ashamed and subconsciously lowered their heads.

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