Yang Peng's mind was thinking about the next thing: 'Most of the territory of the Western Xia has been lost, and perhaps the remaining Western Xia people can be forced to submit by means of negotiation. Then I thought of the Xishou Baotai Military Division, and felt that if we could successfully capture the Xishou Baotai Military Division and even the Zhuoluo and Southern Military Divisions further west, then the possibility of diplomatic subjugation would be much greater!

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Yang Peng retracted his thoughts, and then heard Li Tongren's voice coming: "Weichen meets King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng turned around and saw Li Tongren standing not far away, and said with a smile: "You came just in time, I have something to look for you!" Li Tongren hurriedly said: "King Yan has an order, and Weichen will not hesitate to go to Tang to step on the fire!" ”

Yang Peng said: "Now that most of the rivers and mountains of Western Xia have been merged into Yanyun, I think it's time to use diplomatic means of subduation!" Li Tongren praised: "King Yan is wise! At this time, most of the Western Xia army has been lost, and most of the land has been incorporated into our Yanyun, and the remnants of the Western Xia people are already frightened birds, and they are always worried that our Yanyun army will be overwhelmed! This is a great time for diplomatic suppression! If you can send a wise and brave person with no hindrance to Xiliang, you have a good chance of persuading the remnants of Xixia to surrender! ”

Yang Peng said: "Now there is a difficulty, that is, the problem of the selection of the envoy. He glanced at Li Tongren and said: "This person must have a good understanding of the internal situation in Western Xia, and he must be brave and resourceful and loyal, such a candidate is not easy to find!" ”

Li Tongren suddenly knelt down and pleaded: "If King Yan can trust Weichen, Weichen is willing to send Xiliang for the envoy!" Yang Peng was a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Lord Li is willing to go to nature no better!" It's just that now those remnants of Western Xia are afraid that they have hated Master Li to the bone, aren't you afraid of death when you send Xiliang? Li Tongren said righteously: "Wechen is not afraid, if Wechen can be loyal to King Yan, it will be an incomparably glorious thing!" ”

Yang Peng has always looked down on Li Tongren, a minister who surrendered from Western Xia, but now seeing his words and deeds, his perception of him can't help but improve a lot, and he feels that the reason why he can't be loyal to Western Xia may be because the emperor of Western Xia is not worthy of his loyalty. Putting these thoughts behind him, he stepped forward to help him up, patted him on the shoulder, and nodded, "Good!" If you want to go, I will entrust you with this burden! If this trip is successful, I will naturally not treat you badly, but if this trip fails, I will not blame you, after all, this matter is not easy! If you have three longs and two shorts, your wife and daughter's family don't have to worry, you must also know how we take care of the bereaved families of martyrs! ”

Li Tongren bowed down and said: "Wechen doesn't worry about his wife and daughter, Wechen only cares about whether he can live up to the trust of King Yan!" Yang Pengming knew that he had the element of acting, but after listening to his statement, he was still a little moved, and said: "I will send a team of secret guards to be your guard, if you really encounter danger, they will sacrifice their lives to save you!" Li Tongren bowed and said, "Thank you King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng helped Li Tongren up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You go back and prepare, come to see me when you're ready!" Li Tongren promised, then took out a book of folds from his arms, presented it to Yang Peng with both hands, bowed and said: "This is the property and land that Weichen, Li Shicheng and several others donated to Yanyun, and we are all Yanyun's people now, so we should do our best for Yanyun!" Yang Peng was a little surprised, took the fold, opened it, looked at it, and saw that Li Tongren, Li Shicheng and others had donated very rich property, nearly 10,000 acres of grain fields alone, and countless slaves in the rest of the gold and silver treasures. Yang Peng was very happy, accepted the fold, and said with a smile: "I am very happy that you can always think of yourself as a part of Yanyun!" ”

Seeing Yang Peng's face full of joy, Li Tongren knew that he had done the right thing, and he was happy in his heart, and hurriedly bowed: "Weichen can't wait to dedicate all his blood to Yan Yun, not to mention the things outside his body!" Li Shicheng and others also have the same mind as Weichen! ”

Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Li Tongren clasped his fists and bowed: "If King Yan has nothing else to order, Weichen will go back and prepare." Yang Peng said: "You go." Li Tongren bowed to Yang Peng again and left.

Yang Peng picked up the fold in his hand, glanced at it, and smiled slightly. When I returned to the temporary camp, I saw an acquaintance waiting at the gate, it was Li Shicheng. As soon as Li Shicheng saw Yang Peng coming back on horseback, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Weichen Li Shicheng greets His Royal Highness King Yan!" Li Shicheng, as a relative of the emperor, was canonized by Yang Peng as the captain of Anle, so he called himself a minister.

Yang Peng glanced at him, "It's you." "Turn over and dismount. Li Shicheng bowed and said: "Weichen and others are grateful for the grace of King Yan, and they do not add responsibility, but give them a lord, and their gratitude is indescribable, so after discussing it, I feel that we should set up a special banquet to thank King Yan for his great kindness and virtue, and please King Yan can deign to come!" If King Yan can come to the banquet, it will be the supreme glory for us! ”

Yang Peng felt that in order to stabilize people's hearts, it was not good to brush off their good intentions, so he said: "If I have time, I will naturally come." ”

When Li Shicheng heard this, he was overjoyed, he originally thought that it would be difficult to invite King Yan, so he hurriedly asked, "I wonder if King Yan has time tonight?" Yang Peng thought for a while, nodded and said, "You can do it tonight." Li Shicheng was overjoyed, and said hurriedly: "In this way, I will wait for King Yan to come!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Li Shicheng bowed to Yang Peng and said, "Weichen retires!" Yang Peng smiled: "Go ahead." Li Shicheng went happily.

Yang Peng smiled, turned around and walked into the door. When he came to the top of the hall, he turned around and instructed Wang Kai: "Select fifty secret guards to come out, I will be useful." Wang Kai answered and ran down.

As soon as Wang Kai left with his front foot, Yelu Hanyu's three daughters came in with his hind foot. Seeing Yang Peng standing in the lobby, they all shouted happily: "Big brother! When Yang Peng saw them, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Yelu Hanyu smiled and asked, "I heard that General Yang sent a military report that Tiemen Pass and Jingzhou have been taken by our army?" ”

Yang Peng nodded, took out the letter he had just received from his arms, walked to the third girl, handed the letter to Yelu Hanyu, and said with a smile: "Not only did they take Tiemen Pass and Jingzhou, but all the Western Xia troops were annihilated, especially Li Cunxiao and his Snow Mountain Army!" The three girls were overjoyed, Yelu Hanyu took the military report, unfolded it and read it, and frowned slightly: "Wei Mingjian and Li Cunxiao are very admirable!" ”

Yang Peng nodded, his eyes showed admiration, and said, "Although they are enemies, their awe-inspiring and unyielding spirit is really admirable!" He smiled, glanced at the women, and said, "I like the two of them better than these people who have surrendered to us!" The third girl nodded sympathetically, and Yang Jiumei said: "But those who surrender to us are useful, but people like Li Cunxiao have caused us a lot of trouble!" The other two women nodded, and Yang Erya frowned and said, "This kind of thing really makes people feel weird!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, remembered Li Tongren's matter, and said it. When the women heard that Li Tongren actually took the initiative to ask Ying to send an envoy to Xiliang, they were all very surprised, and Yang Erya said in disbelief: "Such a greedy guy who is afraid of death actually dares to send an envoy to Xiliang, is he stupid?" ”

Yelu Hanyu looked at Yang Erya and smiled: "He's not stupid at all, he's smart!" When the people heard this, they were puzzled.

His gaze turned to Li Tongren's mansion. The wives and concubines were shocked when they heard that Li Tongren actually took the initiative to invite Ying to envoy Xiliang, and then they cried and cried, only to hear a concubine crying: "Master, why does the master want to take this matter, this way, this way, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that there will be more than one auspicious!" ”

Seeing the gloomy scene of the wives and concubines, Li Tongren smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll be fine!" ”

The lady said angrily: "How can the master still laugh!" That Dao Chong and the old man were already at odds, before the stumbling man wanted to harm the master, now the master is the high-level of Yanyun, in the eyes of those people in the Dao Chong, it is rebellious, want to deal with it and then quickly, the master goes, only afraid, only afraid of ......, woo woo woo ...... "Before the words were finished, she cried loudly, and the other concubines also cried, and there was a cry in the study for a while.

Seeing his wives and concubines crying endlessly, Li Tongren felt very unlucky, and shouted angrily: "Don't cry!" The wives and concubines were startled, and couldn't help but stop crying, and the study suddenly fell silent.

Li Tongren said: "If I hadn't defected to Yanyun and wasn't a high-level Yanyun, then I would have been really unlucky!" ...... "The wives and concubines looked at each other, not understanding the truth at all. Li Tongren explained: "If I am still the left prime minister of Western Xia, then if I go to Xiliang, I will inevitably divide the power of Dao Chong, and now he has covered the sky with one hand, how can I be allowed?" But now I am the guard of Yan Yun's Xingqing Mansion, the envoy of the King of Yan, I expect that he will not dare to be rude to me! Even if he can't convince them to surrender, he will never dare to harm me! To harm me is to provoke Yan Yun, and now they are frightened and only worried that Yan Yun's army will be pressing, where do you dare to take the initiative to provoke trouble and give Yan Wang an excuse! ”

The wives and concubines felt that what Li Tongren said was very reasonable, and the worry was not as strong as before, but they were still very worried. I only heard Li Tongren continue: "I just took refuge in King Yan, although I was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, but after all, I am defenseless, I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep my wealth for a long time!" This time is a great opportunity, Cheng Ze has made great contributions to King Yan, and my position will be firm, even if I fail, then I am also a loyal martyr who is not afraid of danger to serve King Yan, and King Yan will definitely look at me differently! Hehe, whether this thing succeeds or fails, it is only good for me, so why don't I do it? ”

Night fell, and Yang Peng went outside Li Shicheng's mansion under the escort of the secret guards. Li Shicheng, Li Yuanzhuo, the elder of the royal family, and Li Ruolan, the wife of Hanhai, led all the royal family members and party nobles to wait at the gate.

When everyone saw Yang Peng coming, they bowed one after another: "Meet King Yan!" At the door, a large number of people fell to their knees.

Yang Peng turned over and dismounted, walked in front of everyone, and raised his voice: "No need to be polite, get up!" Everyone said in unison: "King Xie Yan! Then they all stood up. Li Shicheng said excitedly: "King Yan is coming, the humble house is really full of brilliance!" Li Yuanzhuo on the side hurriedly said: "King Yan is lucky, I am infinitely honored, my whole body is full of strength, it seems that I am fifty years younger!" Yang Peng laughed, glanced at Li Yuanzhuo, and teased: "So Mingshahou has rejuvenated!" Li Yuanzhuo hugged his fists and bowed: "This is all given by King Yan!" "It looks solemn, as if it's really like that.

Li Shicheng stepped aside, stretched out his hand, bowed and said, "King Yan, please!" Seeing this, the others hurriedly bowed down and asked, "King Yan, please!" ”

Yang Peng walked into the gate under the escort of the secret guards, and everyone immediately followed. Li Shicheng ran to the front to lead the way, leading everyone all the way to the backyard. I saw the big red lanterns hanging high in the backyard, a scene of brilliant lights, the red lights reflected the whole backyard into a festive red, under each red lantern stood a delicate maid, and there were many big round tables and chairs by the lake in the distance, the tables were empty, and the wine and food had not yet come up.

Li Shicheng led everyone into the banquet, and then respectfully invited Yang Peng to sit on the northernmost throne. Yang Peng walked over and sat down under the escort of the guards, and the guards stood behind him and left and right. Yang Peng saw that everyone was still standing respectfully, and no one was sitting, and said with a smile: "Everyone sit down too!" Everyone thanked them one after another, and then they scattered down at each round table, but no one dared to sit on Yang Peng's table.

Li Shicheng raised his voice and said: "Hurry up and serve the food!" ”

The sound of small footsteps sounded, the fragrant aroma of wine and food drifted in the wind, and everyone looked in the direction from which the footsteps came, only to see dozens of graceful maids holding food plates through the grove in the distance, and the fish came through. The maids entered the banquet, first offered the wine and food to Yang Peng, set up a table full, and then served the wine and food on the other tables, and after a while, each round table was covered with wine and food, steaming hot, the aroma was overflowing, and the appetite was moving.

Li Shicheng picked up the wine glass, stood up, and said loudly: "Everyone, let's toast King Yan with a glass of wine to express our respect for King Yan!" The crowd picked up their glasses and stood up. Li Shicheng held the wine glass and said to Yang Peng: "Weichen wishes King Yan an early enrichment of the four seas to dominate the world, and the blessings will be long and boundless!" The others said together: "I wish King Yan an early encompassing of the four seas and domination of the world, and his blessings will be endless!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Thank you for your kindness." Everyone was flattered, and Li Shicheng said loudly: "Weichen did it first for respect!" After speaking, he raised his head and toasted the wine in his glass, and the other Chinese people followed suit. Chen Xiao smiled slightly, raised his head and dried the wine. Everyone was very happy, and Li Shicheng shouted: "Sing and dance!" ”

The melodious music immediately sounded, it was a group of musicians sitting under the tree in the distance with a variety of ancient musical instruments to play the music, yin and yang frustrated and euphemistic, at the same time, more than 20 slightly exposed clothes full of exotic Persian style of the dancers came out of the woods while dancing, came to the open space in front of Chen Xiao to dance to Chen Xiao, the movements were light, the dance posture was graceful, very pleasing to the eye, and the dance of the Han people in the Central Plains was completely different. Yang Peng enjoyed it while drinking, and everyone else was watching the dancers' dances, but Li Shicheng and Li Ruolan were watching Yang Peng's expression.

After the dance, all the dancing girls bowed to Yang Peng, and then retreated.

Li Shicheng smiled and said to Yang Peng: "These ordinary dancing girls are really difficult to enter the eyes of King Yan!" Why don't you have a little girl dance! The crowd was noisy, and many people looked very excited, everyone had long heard that Mrs. Hanhai sang and danced, but they had never had the opportunity to see it. Everyone's eyes fell on Li Ruolan. Li Ruolan stood up with a slightly red face, and said to Yang Peng: "I'm afraid that the singing and dancing of the concubine body will be difficult to enter the eyes of King Yan!" Li Shicheng hurriedly said: "Daughter, don't be modest, be happy today, hurry up and sing a song to cheer up King Yan!" ”

Li Ruolan answered, left her seat and walked into the open space in front of Yang Peng. Then a maid brought a lute and bowed down.

Li Ruolan held the pipa in her hand, glanced at Chen Xiao charmingly, and her slender jade fingers plucked twice on the strings, and the sound was two, just like a woman in Huaichun was crying, and everyone present couldn't help but feel a wave in their hearts. Immediately, I saw Li Ruolan dancing with the pipa, sometimes like Xizi holding her heart, sometimes like Zhaojun going north, sometimes like Chang'e flying into the sky, sometimes like Wushan goddess, all kinds of situations are different, but each has its own charm, it can really be described as a variety of swaying people's hearts, those men in the Western Xia nobles are certainly stunned, even Yang Peng, a character who is accustomed to seeing the stunning, can't help but reveal a stunning color, I only feel that this woman is born with charming bones, compared with Zhao Xiangxiang, and the attainments in singing and dancing are Chunlan and Qiuju are good at winning, although the style is very different, One is beautiful and refined, the other is charming, but the same is full of beauty and beauty!

When Li Ruolan was dancing, a pair of water-cutting eyes cast charming eyes at Yang Peng from time to time, a tender and hazy, if there is nothing, but it is extremely swaying.

Unconsciously, a charming and moving pipa dance was performed, but everyone was still immersed in it, and the aftertaste was endless. Yang Peng came back to his senses first and applauded: "Okay! Madame's dance is truly beautiful! I think it's not easy to find a peerless beauty in the world who can have a long time with his wife! The others were also amazed.

Li Ruolan was overjoyed when she heard Yang Peng's praise, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "King Yan has won the award!" As he spoke, his beautiful eyes floated towards Yang Peng, and infinite tenderness and sweetness were in that glimpse. Yang Peng's heart couldn't help but flutter when he saw it.

Li Ruolan returned to her seat, the banquet continued, the singing and dancing continued, Yang Peng chatted with everyone from time to time, and everyone who was able to talk to Yang Peng looked extremely excited. And in this process, Yang Peng's eyes always looked at Li Ruolan intentionally or unintentionally, and Li Ruolan also looked at Yang Peng from time to time, her beautiful eyes were full of charm, and her red lips were smiling.

……

Unknowingly, when the wine was lit, Yang Peng left first, and then all the guests also left.

Yang Peng rode a horse on the street in the middle of the night, and Li Ruolan's charming and seductive expression always appeared in his mind, lingering, although all the wives and concubines in the family were all the color of the country, but Li Ruolan's appearance was not inferior at all, and there was a charm in it, that is, her identity, as soon as he thought of this, Yang Peng's whole body became excited, and he couldn't suppress it.

Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, which was particularly clear in the silence of the night. Yang Peng didn't look back, and the secret guard in charge of guarding behind blocked the knight, and the knight reined in his horse and shouted: "His Royal Highness King Yan, my wife is invited!" ”

Yang Peng reined in the horse, turned the reins of the horse and turned the horse's head, only to see a middle-aged man dressed as a servant being hidden and stopped on the periphery, Yang Peng recognized him as the housekeeper in Li Shicheng's mansion. I thought of what he just said: My wife is invited. immediately thought of the charming and seductive Li Ruolan, and couldn't help but feel a wave in her heart, and asked in a loud voice, "Who is your wife?" The housekeeper bowed down and said, "My wife is the lady of Hanhai who is the prince of Yan!" Mrs. admires King Yan, and specially prepares thin wine in the inner room, looking forward to King Yan's luck! ”

Yang Peng smiled and said: "Since Mrs. is full of fists, how can I brush off her good intentions!" The housekeeper was overjoyed and said, "If King Yan can be lucky, my wife will be very happy!" Then he bowed down and said, "The villain leads the way for King Yan!" Immediately turning the horse's head and walking forward, Yang Peng said to Wang Kai: "Send someone to tell the ladies, just say that I have something important and will not come back tonight!" Wang Kai responded, sent a secret guard, and then led the rest of the secret guards to escort Yang Peng back to Li's house.

When Yang Peng returned to the Li family, all the guests had already left, and the entire Li family's house was very quiet. Li Shicheng waited at the door, seeing Yang Peng going and returning, he was extremely happy, greeted him with a smile on his face, bowed down and said, "Weichen has seen King Yan!" Yang Peng and the others turned over and dismounted. Li Shicheng stepped forward and whispered with an ambiguous and mysterious expression: "The little girl prepares thin wine in the embroidery building in the backyard, just waiting for King Yan to be lucky!" Yang Peng's heart couldn't help but feel excited. Li Shicheng led Yang Peng and others into the gate, and then led Yang Peng and others into the back garden. Li Shicheng pointed to the small building lit up under the shade of the trees not far away, and said with a smile: "That's the little girl's embroidery building!" Wechen is here! ”

Yang Peng glanced up and saw that the lights reflected a graceful figure on the window paper, and he couldn't help but feel itchy, so he raised his feet and walked away. Wang Kai immediately ordered the guards to control the entire backyard, and then he caught up with Yang Peng's footsteps, followed Yang Peng into the courtyard, and guarded the embroidery downstairs, and Yang Peng went up alone.

Yang Peng came upstairs and saw Li Ruolan, who had changed into a Han palace dress, standing respectfully at a small table. glanced at this side, a charming smile appeared on her delicate face, and then Ying Ying bowed: "Concubine to meet King Yan!" Yang Peng hurriedly stepped forward and helped her up, the two limbs touched, and their hearts fluttered, Yang Peng smelled the rich fragrance emanating from her, and his index finger moved.

Li Ruolan glanced at Yang Peng charmingly, her slender jade hand gently held Yang Peng's palm, and walked slowly towards the small table, turning back step by step, with affection and affection.

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