Yelu Hanyu nodded and said, "Not bad." In this case, the Seljuk Empire is like a surprise attack, and it is obviously premeditated for a long time, so it is only a tie with our ocean-going fleet, which shows that the Seljuk Empire's strength is also limited, and the Erguan brothers can be ordered to collect intelligence on the one hand, and wait for an opportunity to attack on the other, and take offense as defense, which may be able to open up the situation in a short time. ”

Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully, was silent for a moment, and said to the second daughter: "That's it!" Then he walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down, Han Bing immediately came up to polish the ink for him, while Yang Peng was thinking about the wording and details of the words. Han Bing polished the ink, Yang Peng also finished thinking, immediately picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote quickly on the letterhead. After a while, he wrote a letter, dried the ink, folded it, put it in an envelope, handed it to Jiang Li, and instructed: "Send someone to the Guan brothers immediately!" Jiang Li stepped forward, took the letter, promised it, and ran down.

Yang Peng stood up and walked to the map, Han Bing and Ye Yu Hanyu understood, and immediately untied the other map that was rolled up above the horizontal axis and hung down. A world map was immediately presented in front of the three of them, this world map is much richer than the original world map, the situation in East Asia is naturally and accurately marked, and the situation in South Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia is also marked in detail, but the situation in Europe is more vague, and only a few countries are roughly marked at present.

There is a situation that makes Yang Peng a little puzzled, although he does not know much about the situation in medieval Europe, but the general situation is known, at that time in Europe, there were mainly Britain, France, Germany three major powers, other countries are strong and weak, but compared with these three powers, they are inferior, the crusades of the Middle Ages many times to the East, the main force is actually from these three countries. In Yang Peng's feeling, medieval Europe should not be too powerful, but according to the news obtained through commercial and trade channels in the recent period, the Holy Roman Empire, that is, the modern society, is actually very powerful, has annexed several small countries around it, and the latest crusade has defeated the Arab coalition and occupied many strategic points on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean, including the holy city of Jerusalem. The Holy Roman Empire feels like it's in a league of its own, which doesn't seem to correspond to the historical situation.

Yang Peng looked at the map and said: "I originally thought that the confrontation with Central Asian and European forces would be at least ten years later, but I didn't expect that there would be a conflict so soon. ”

Yelu Hanyu frowned and said, "Now is indeed not the time, we should solve the surrounding problems first." However, the benefits of maritime trade are very huge, and they are very important to Yanyun, but they can't be given up! ”

Han Bing said: "Yes, although we don't want to start a war with people on the ocean thousands of miles away now, we can't retreat when the time comes!" Now that the Seljuk Empire has come to the door, let's teach them a good lesson, at least so that they don't dare to act rashly for a few years! ”

Yang Peng smiled slightly and glanced at Han Bing. Ye Yu Hanyu was very puzzled by Yang Peng's eyes, and asked, "Big brother, do you think what I said is wrong?" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "No, I just suddenly thought of the tigress." Han Bing didn't understand for a while, but Yelu Hanyu burst out laughing. Han Bing suddenly woke up: "Big brother is ridiculing himself as a tigress!" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be ashamed, and glared at Yang Peng angrily, his face flushed.

……

In the middle of the night, Yang Peng lay on the bed, holding Zhao Lihua in his arms, immersed in dreams, and beautiful dreams poured into his mind one after another.

Hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the embroidery building, and then the voices of several women spoke downstairs, followed by hurried footsteps on the stairs. Jiang Li and Zhao Lihua's personal maids came to the second floor where Yang Peng and Zhao Lihua were resting. Jiang Li stopped, and the maid quickly stopped when she saw this. Jiang Li bowed to the bed wrapped in a gauze tent from afar, and said loudly: "Qi Qi master, there is an urgent report!" “

Yang Peng woke up, Zhao Lihua was also awakened, and suddenly found that there were two more people in the room, and couldn't help but be shocked, and then found that it was the Feifeng female guard commander and his personal maid, and he was relieved.

Yang Peng asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Jiang Li stepped forward quickly, came to the side of the bed, and said through the gauze tent: "Not long ago, the Western Xia mission raided the Tubo mission," Yang Peng was taken aback, "What?" The Western Xia mission raided the Tibetan mission? Jiang Li nodded, "Exactly." Yang Peng sneered: "Okay, the Xixia people are in the class!" It's a pity that they are not the Han Dynasty, and we are not the Western Regions! What a fucking mess! Sitting up, lifting the gauze tent and getting off the bed, Jiang Li and Zhao Lihua's personal maids immediately came up and served Yang Peng to dress and wear pants. While serving Yang Peng, Jiang Li narrated the whole thing.

"The Western Xia mission raided the Tibetan mission at about the third watch, and the Tibetan mission was caught off guard and naturally suffered heavy losses. However, their actions were discovered in time by the people in charge of surveillance, and when the Tanguts had just broken into the backyard, the city defense army rushed to the scene to surround the Tubo Mission, and all the people of the Tangut Mission and the Tubo Mission were captured! ”

When Jiang Li finished speaking, Yang Peng was also dressed, and said angrily: "That's it?" Jiang Li nodded, "That's it." Yang Peng rolled his eyes, "I thought there was a big deal going on, and it was over after a long time!" Then he asked, "Are the important people on both sides dead?" Jiang Li shook her head, "That's not true." ”

Yang Peng sat down in front of the dresser and said, "It's not a big deal, it's really disturbing dreams!" Jiang Li listened to the master's words and seemed to have a hint of blame, and hurriedly hugged her fists and said, "It's a subordinate who is making a big fuss!" ”

Yang Peng waved his hand, "You didn't do anything wrong." After a pause, he said to Jiang Li: "You give me an order to detain those guys first, and then talk about it in two days." Jiang Li promised and ran down. The maid asked Yang Peng, "May I ask King Yan, do you need your maid to prepare some supper?" ”

Yang Peng said: "It's such a trouble, and the drowsiness is gone, you go and prepare some supper, remember, ask for a pot of good wine." The maid answered, and hurriedly ran down.

At this time, Zhao Lihua, who had already put on a small coat and pants and a light veil, lifted the gauze tent and walked off the bed. Coming to Yang Peng, Yang Peng reached out and held her slender hand, and said with a smile: "Let's drink a few glasses of wine before continuing to sleep." Turning his head to look at the night outside the window, he couldn't help but say: "The night is so wonderful, it's a pity to just sleep with your head covered!" Zhao Lihua smiled and said softly: "Since the eldest brother wants to enjoy the night view, the concubine naturally accompanies the eldest brother." Yang Peng took her slender right hand and gently forced, Zhao Lihua immediately lost her balance, sighed, and sat in Yang Peng's arms. The two looked at each other, Yang Peng was smiling, and Zhao Lihua was affectionate.

After a while, the supper wine was delivered, Yang Peng and Zhao Lihua enjoyed the night while drinking, saying touching love words, under the reflection of the moonlight, the couple in front of the window was a flawless couple.

The figure suddenly shook at the arch in the distance, and Zhao Lihua's sharp eyes saw it first, and said in surprise: "It seems to be Jiang Li's leader, why is she here again?" ”

Yang Peng turned his head to look into the distance, and sure enough, under the faint moonlight, a person was walking briskly along the lake, although it was hazy and dim, but with Chen Xiao's familiarity with Jiang Li, he recognized her at a glance as Jiang Li who had just come. I couldn't help but be surprised, frowned and muttered, "Could it be that something urgent happened?" Jiang Li had just received the order to leave, if it wasn't for something urgent, she would never have been able to go and return, and she looked so anxious.

Jiang Li ran up to the second floor, at this time Yang Peng was already standing in the middle of the room, and Zhao Lihua was still sitting in front of the moon cave window behind Yang Peng. Jiang Li went straight to Yang Peng and hugged his fists and bowed: "King Qiyu, there is an emergency situation in Liaoguo!" Then he took out a letter and presented it with both hands, "This is the urgent military report from the palace just now!" "It turned out that Jiang Li left here just now and returned to the palace to give orders, but on the way, he ran into Wang Kai who hurried over from the palace, and he was about to rush to Mrs. Zhao's mansion to report the emergency military situation. After Jiang Li inquired about the reason, she asked Wang Kai to pass the order for herself, and she understood the attributes and rushed back to report Yang Peng.

Yang Peng took the letter, opened it, took out the letter paper, and looked at it, with a look of surprise on his face. After reading the letter, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back for a while, then suddenly stopped, turned his head and said to Jiang Li: "Immediately summon all the civil and military ministers in Tianjing New City to the palace to discuss important matters!" Jiang Li responded and hurried down.

Yang Peng turned around, and at this time, Zhao Lihua had already left the moon cave window and came to him. Yang Peng held Zhao Lihua's slender hand and said apologetically: "I wanted to accompany you for a night, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen." I have to go! Zhao Lihua sighed faintly and said softly;" I know. State affairs are important, the eldest brother doesn't have to be nostalgic for the concubine! Yang Peng gently hugged Zhao Lihua, and then left.

The group rode back to the palace quickly, turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly to the hall, except for Yelu Hanyu and Han Bing, all the civil and military forces had not yet arrived. Yang Peng walked to the top and sat down, took out the urgent report he had just received, and handed it to Yelu Hanyu, "Mei'er, Han Bing, you take a look first." Yelu Hanyu came forward to untie the letter, read it once, showed surprise on his face, and then handed the letter to Han Bing, Han Bing read it again, and his face was full of disbelief, and he looked up and said to Yang Peng: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen!" Yang Peng frowned and nodded: "I didn't expect it either!" This is quite unexpected! ”

After a while, the Wenwu who stayed in Tianjing New City arrived one after another, met Yang Peng, and stood on the left and right sides according to their positions. Everyone looked at Yang Peng, although they didn't know what was going on, they all felt that something big must have happened, otherwise King Yan would never have summoned everyone to the palace at night.

Yang Peng said: "Just now, I received information from Zhongjing in Liaoguo. Two days ago, 200,000 Mongolian cavalry suddenly crossed the Hunhe River and broke through Ningzhou, and then 200,000 cavalry rushed forward, breaking the 100,000 Khitan army that was hastily facing in one fell swoop, and then surrounded Shangjing, which was in danger! ”

When everyone suddenly heard this, they were very surprised, and they couldn't help but turn their heads and ears. Zhang Xiang said: "This is too surprising! It is reasonable for the Mongols to take advantage of the fierce battle between the Khitans and the Japanese to attack the Beijing Road, but how could the Mongols complete the assembly in such a short time? Such a large-scale attack took at least half a year to prepare carefully, how could the Mongols suddenly attack? ”

Yelu Hanyu said: "There is only one explanation for this, that is, the Mongols have been preparing for a long time!" Everyone nodded, and Chai Yongqi said: "In this case, the Mongols should have been waiting for the Khitans to fight the Japanese for a long time!" ”

Yang Peng pondered: "This is a possibility, and there is also a possibility that there has been collusion between the Mongols and the Japanese people. Everyone couldn't help frowning, and Huang Guang, the head of the household, said: "If that's the case, then it's bad!" If there is no collusion between the two invaders, then even if the Khitan State is destroyed, there will inevitably be a war between the two invaders in order to compete for interests and territory, and we will not face any imminent threats; However, if these two Kou have already colluded, and since the distribution of spoils has been completed, then after the Liao State is destroyed, they will not fight, and it is very likely that they will continue to maintain an alliance to deal with us. Because the desires of the two of them cannot be stopped because of the destruction of the Liao State, but will be even more difficult to fill, and the Central Plains has been the richest region in the world since ancient times, and there is no place that can be compared. ”

Fu Jianyue and several other civil officials couldn't help but worry. Han Bing said: "Even if the Mongols and the Japanese come together to attack, we are not afraid. It's just a coincidence that our grain and grass have been exhausted because of the conquest of Western Xia, and it is difficult to mobilize it in a big way, if the two of them really come to attack in a short time, it is indeed a bit troublesome! After a pause, he continued: "We can use the navy to cut off the sea lane, and the army relies on the Xiongguan Pass to strictly defend it, so it should not be a big problem!" ”

Yelu Hanyu pondered: "Things haven't developed to that point yet! Although the sudden dispatch of the Mongols made the situation worse, the Khitans were not vegetarians, and the army of more than 100,000 people had been in battle for a long time, as well as Xiao Lou Room, Ye Hu Cheng and other famous generals in a hundred battles, it was not easy to defeat the Khitans! ”

Yang Peng nodded, "Mei'er is right. Although the current situation is greatly beyond the previous expectations, it is not enough to say that the addition of 200,000 Mongolian troops will destroy the Liao State! After a pause, he pondered: "In the current situation, the Liao court will definitely immediately withdraw the main force from Goryeo to deal with the threat of the Mongols. In this way, the war in Goryeo was feared to be reversed. The Japanese are bound to launch a counterattack, but I wonder if the Goryeo army and the Liao army that stayed behind can withstand the counterattack of the Japanese people? ”

After a pause, "We can't sit idly by in this situation!" Yelu Hanyu said in embarrassment: "Big brother, we don't have food and grass, even if we want to support the Khitans, we can't do it!" ”

Yang Peng's heart suddenly moved, "No, we have grain and grass." Looking at Yelu Hanyu with a dazed face, he said, "You have forgotten that our naval army has taken a large amount of grain and grass from the hands of the Japanese people!" Only then did everyone think of this incident, and Zhang Xiang said happily: "According to the news I got recently, the soldiers of the navy swept away Fukuoka and Shimonoseki, where the Japanese had hoarded a large amount of supplies, and obtained hundreds of thousands of loads of grain and grass, plus the grain and grass that they had previously seized from Tsushima Island and Mitsu Island, there are already more than one million loads of grain and grass over there, and the transportation is enough to support the consumption of 300,000 troops for two months." ”

Yang Peng ordered: "Immediately order Liu Zhiliang and Wang Hai to leave the necessary grain and grass, and then send a fleet to transport the rest of the grain and grass back to Yanjing." Han Bing clenched his fists in agreement, and then asked, "Is the eldest brother planning to attack Goryeo and directly engage the Japanese army?" ”

Yang Peng nodded. Han Bing frowned and said, "But our army's strength in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun only has two legions, so I'm afraid that the strength is insufficient!" ”

Yang Peng pondered for a moment and said: "The other armies are far apart, even the nearest Shanxi region is more than a thousand miles apart, even if the grain and grass are in place, it will take almost two months for the army to assemble and prepare to drive to Yanjing. In these two months, I am afraid that this time the big war will have a result, and the armies of other places will not be too late at all, so we can only use the armies of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. The 100,000 soldiers and horses will also go to touch the Japanese army! Glancing at everyone, "I have made up my mind, I want to personally command the second and third legions to attack Goryeo!" The Xuanjia Army went with me, the First Legion and the Sixth Legion went to Yanjing as a reserve force! As long as we can surprise in time, we should be able to knock them down again before they completely turn the tables around! "The Sixth Army, the Seventh Army and Cao Jun's Breaking Front Army were stationed in the Datongfu area, while the First Army and the Fifth Army were stationed in the Shanxi area. The transfer of the 1st and 6th Army Corps was, firstly, the principle of proximity, and secondly, to avoid the emptiness of troops caused by too many troops being drawn from one place.

In Yang Peng's thoughts, the First Army Corps and the Sixth Army Corps were just in case, and he didn't want these two legions to really go to the battlefield, because in that case, it would mean that the Second and Third Army Corps had lost on the front line. Yang Peng looked at Han Bing, "Han Bing is in charge of Tianjing New Town for me, when I am not there, you can decide all important military and political affairs on the spot!" Han Bing clenched his fists and promised.

Yang Peng looked at Fan Yong and said, "Fan Yong, you are the envoy to the Liao State on behalf of me, and tell the Liao Imperial Court of our decision and movements." You have to make them understand that we are not here to take advantage of the fire, but to help them! In addition, you tell them that if the situation is critical, you can ask our army for rescue! Fan Yong clenched his fists and promised. Fan Yong had previously sent an envoy to Tibet, completed the task brilliantly, and returned to Tianjing New City with the Tibetan delegation not long ago. Now that something big has happened, he is at the right time, and the burden of this envoy to the Liao State naturally falls on him. It is not an easy thing to send to the Liao State, if you can't let the Liao side dispel your doubts, I am afraid that there will be a situation where the Khitan army and the Yanyun army will fight, then it will be cheap.

Yang Peng said to Zhang Xiang: "Send someone to inform Wu Xing of the situation on our side as soon as possible." "Yes." Yang Peng thought for a while and said to Zhang Xiang: "The high meritorious service of the Ryukyus is sent to him to raise grain and grass in the Ryukyus, and he can raise as much as he can!" "Yes!" "As for the current affairs of the missions of various countries, I have already explained the major policies, you just need to look at it!" "Yes!"

Yang Peng thought about it and felt that everything that should be explained had already been explained, so he asked, "Is there anything else you don't understand?" Everyone looked at each other, and they all said that there was nothing they didn't understand. Chen Xiao said: "Okay, I'll rush to Yanyun early tomorrow morning, and you guys will do your job!" Everyone clasped their fists and promised.

……

After the meeting, Yang Peng returned to his room and saw that the girls were packing up for him, and when they saw him coming, they all showed a look of reluctance. Then he looked away and continued to pack his bags. Yang Peng is also very reluctant to give up, but at the moment of major events, he can't take care of his children's personal affairs.

The women packed up for Yang Peng, came over and sat down around Yang Peng, this one sentence, that two instructions, although it was very late, but no one was sleepy.

……

Early the next morning, Yang Peng led a secret guard and the Xuanjia army to leave Tianjing New Town, crossed the Tianjing River, and rushed towards Yanjing. In the evening, I saw a village in the distance, and I saw the smoke curling and the sound of singing, which was really a happy scene. At the same time, the herald fast horse, which was carrying the orders of the Yan King, was also rushing to all directions.

Yang Peng did not want to disturb the people, so he led his soldiers around the village and continued to hurry. In the middle of the night, they came to a small stream, and everyone rested, ready to wait for dawn before they left. Yang Peng had just finished his dinner when a sudden sound of horses' hooves came from the north. Yang Peng followed the prestige, only to see a knight galloping from the north, and several secret guards rode up to meet him.

The guard stopped the knight, and the knight pulled out a token, and the guard led the knight to the gallop. Several people rode their horses to a short distance in front of Yang Peng, reined in their horses, and turned over. The secret guard stayed in place, and the knight quickly ran to Yang Peng, knelt down on one knee and said, "The villain is ordered by the Lord left behind in Yanjing to transfer the emergency military information to King Yan!" As he spoke, he untied the bamboo tube on his back and held it high above the top with both hands.

Wang Kai stepped forward to untie the bamboo tube and handed it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the bamboo tube, pulled out the dagger to pick up the sealing mud, and poured out a letter of attributes. Put down the bamboo dagger, open the envelope, take out the stationery, unfold it and look at it, and couldn't help frowning, with a thoughtful look on his face.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, Yang Peng didn't take it to heart, but Wang Kai next to him said in a surprised tone: "Master, it's Mrs. Ye!" Yang Peng was taken aback, and hurriedly turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw Ya Yu Guanyin, who was wearing a black armor cloak, riding a horse. Yang Peng was very surprised and muttered: "Why is Guanyin here?" It can't be that something is going on at home, right? ”

No one stopped Ye Yu Guanyin, Ye Yu Guanyin galloped all the way to Yang Peng unimpeded, and suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse, and the war horse neighed and stood up. Yang Peng took two steps forward and grabbed the bridle, Ye Yu Guanyin turned over and dismounted, and smiled at Yang Peng: "I'm still worried about missing it with you!" ”

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