Xiao Yu hurriedly came to a quiet and elegant courtyard. A fair-skinned young scribe dressed in a Confucian shirt greeted him with a smile on his face: "Lord Xiao is visiting, and the humble house is shining!" Then he stretched out his hand and asked, "Lord Xiao, please come to the back hall to serve tea!" Then he led Xiao Yu through the arch next to the hall, and then through a corridor path covered by green bamboo, and came to an exquisite and elegant wooden house in the bamboo forest.

The two sat down separately, and the maid brought tea, bowed and retreated. The scribe smiled and said, "This is this year's Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoots, I don't know if it is in line with the wishes of adults." ”

Xiao Yu looked anxious, where did he have the leisure to drink tea, and asked urgently: "Are you all ready?" The scribe picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said with a smile: "My lord came to such a sentence without a beginning or an end, which really makes my second monk scratch my head!" Xiao Yu said impatiently: "What I'm talking about is the big thing we discussed before, don't pretend to be garlic with me!" The scribe smiled, "I see." Glancing at Xiao Yu, he said confidently: "Don't worry, my lord, everything is ready, just wait for the adult's side to start, and our side will start immediately, foolproof!" ”

Xiao Yu said urgently: "The plan must be canceled immediately!" The scribe was stunned and asked, "Why is that?" Xiao Yu said: "The army that went to Goryeo has been withdrawn, the navy has also withdrawn, and Yang Peng himself returned to Yanjing last night!" ”

I only heard a choking sound, and the teacup in the scribe's hand fell to the ground, shattering into countless pieces, and the original calm expression instantly turned pale, and his voice trembled and asked, "He, he, is he, has he discovered our scheme?" This, how can this be good? ”

Xiao Yu couldn't help but feel contempt when he saw that his performance before and after was like two people, and said, "You don't have to be afraid, King Yan, he didn't find out about our scheme, and the retreat of the army was not aimed at us." When the scribe heard this, his panic couldn't help but calm down, but Wu Zi was a little worried, and asked Xiao Yu, "Why are you so sure?" Xiao Yu said angrily: "I'm in the Left-behind Mansion, will there be a problem with the news I get?" Besides, if King Yan really found out something, can I still tell you these words? The scribe felt that what Xiao Yu said was reasonable, and his panic disappeared immediately, and he returned to his previous radiant and graceful appearance, and then asked curiously: "Since it wasn't for us, why did King Yan return to Yan Yun in such a hurry?" ”

Xiao Yu said: "The situation on the Goryeo side is completely different from what I expected before. Yan Wang they originally thought that the Goryeo people were on the verge of extinction, and they would definitely resist desperately, although it was still impossible to be the opponent of the Japanese people, but at least they could hold the line of Kaijing for a certain period of time, so that although the Yanyun army was insufficient, it could attack the Japanese from the flank direction, even if it could not completely defeat the Japanese people, it would definitely force the Japanese to retreat, and finally maintain an invincible and undefeated situation in Goryeo, so that the Japanese people could not succeed. However, the actual situation is completely different from the previous expectations, the Goryeo people are simply a group of mud, completely vulnerable, and the soldiers and horses of the king of Yan have not yet landed, and they actually lost Kaijing! Xiao Yu's tone was very annoyed.

The scribe frowned and said, "This is why people are not as good as heaven!" He glanced up at Xiao Yu and asked with a look of hope, "Did King Yan suffer a major loss?" Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "That's not true." Not only did he not suffer heavy losses, but he achieved a major victory, which can be described as a series of victories, and almost captured Kaijing! If the Yan King and the others can successfully capture Kaijing, then the Japanese people will have to retreat, and the strategic goals set before the war can be achieved! ”

The scribe was disappointed. picked up a Tang poem folding fan, opened it with a brush, shook it lightly in a pretended manner, and said: "Although King Yan is famous, he is only a brave man after all, and this wisdom and military strategy is lacking after all." If it is this son, in the midst of strategizing, the decisive victory is thousands of miles away, and it is not as easy as finding out the bag to win Kaijing! The tone and demeanor are quite arrogant.

Xiao Yu smiled coldly, and said secretly: "Just rely on your piece of material to strategize, and win thousands of miles away, Lao Tzu is just using you!" Then he said, "Things have changed, you have to stop there." The scribe frowned and nodded, and said very regretfully: "It's really unblessed, why don't you trap Yang Peng in Goryeo!" ”

Xiao Yu stood up and said, "I can't stay here for too long, so I'll leave!" The scribe immediately stood up and said, "I'll send you." Then the two of them left the study together. When he came to the door, Xiao Yu specially advised before leaving: "King Yan is by no means an easy person, you can't show any clues here." The scribe nodded in agreement, but his eyebrows were unimpressed. After Xiao Yu left, the scribe turned around and returned to the study, sat behind the bookcase, lowered his head and thought about it, thinking of what Xiao Yu said when he was leaving, he smiled contemptuously and muttered: "How can such a cowardly and fearful thing become a big thing!" ”

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, and an old servant came in with a letter in his hand, came to the scribe, held the letter with both hands, and bowed: "Young master, a letter from the merchant of Bianliang." The scribe looked moved, hurriedly took the letter, opened the envelope, unfolded it, and saw that the head of the row read: Brother Duan Junjian. It turned out that the scribe who hooked up with Xiao Yu was Yan Yun's very famous Confucian scholar, Duan Yao. Before Yang Peng controlled the sixteen states of Yanyun, five or six out of ten scholars in the sixteen states of Yanyun could be said to be the protégés of the Duan family, and the Duan family controlled hundreds of thousands of acres of grain fields and mountains and forests, and thousands of servants were serving the Duan family.

However, all this slowly changed after Yang Peng entered the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Duan family is no longer in the scenery, and the hundreds of thousands of acres of grain fields and mountains and forests in their hands are no longer a symbol of identity and wealth, but have become a major burden of the Duan family. As a result, the Duan family not only could not get any income from these lands, but also had to put in a lot of money. However, the Duan family did not give up their land because of this, they relied on the strong foundation accumulated over the years, and the face of the entire Duan family was still as big as before, with hundreds of thousands of acres of fields and forests, and thousands of long-term servants and servants.

Of course, in such a big family as the Duan family, not all of the children in it are conservative, and Duan Yao's younger brother Duan Yang is one of them. Duan Yang, who is not the eldest son of the family, has no chance to inherit the family's huge estate, so he got a large amount of money from his father Duan Wenrui when he was an adult and left the family, and has been self-reliant ever since. He did not go to the family like the rest of the family to study, but used all the money given by his father to invest in business, coinciding with Yanyun's favorable policy of encouraging commerce and handicrafts, Duan Yang's business developed rapidly, and the situation was very gratifying, and now he is one of the so-called top ten businessmen in the sixteen states of Yanyun. Although his career is very successful, but in the eyes of the family, he is a deviant rebel, Duan Wenrui has publicly announced that he has broken off the father-son relationship with this son, and the rest of the Duan family has also shown contempt for him on various occasions.

Duan Yao looked at Shang Shiheng's letter, first revealing a look of surprise, and then revealing a look of thought. He put down the letter, spread out the letter, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote a letter quickly. After drying the ink, folded the letter paper, put it in the envelope, and wrote on the envelope the four big characters of 'Brother Shang', and then handed the letter to the old servant, and instructed: "Give it to the person who sent the letter, and let him hand it over to the Shang Gongzi." The old servant took the letter, answered, and ran down.

Duan Yao stood up, walked to the window, looked at the bamboo forest outside the window, and muttered excitedly: "The imperial court is also involved, and the big thing is more certain!" Thinking that after the deed was completed, he was looked up to and admired by thousands of people, and his name would also be remembered in history, and he couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

"Big brother." Suddenly there was a call behind him.

Duan Yao turned around and saw his younger brother Duan Yang standing at the door of the study, his brows furrowed, and he said unhappily: "Why are you here, does my father know?" Duan Yang couldn't help but feel sad when he saw that his brother treated him like an enemy, and he cheered up and said, "I'll come to see my mother, my father knows." Although Duan Yang has broken down the door and left home, his mother, one of Duan Wenrui's side rooms, still lives in the Duan family. In ancient times, the so-called ordination of a big family was not to become a monk, but that the non-eldest son of the family had to leave the house after becoming an adult, because in ancient times, only the eldest son could inherit the family business, and the non-eldest son broke the house to avoid possible disputes.

When the eldest son of the non-grandson breaks the house, the parents often give a lot of money to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing in this life, but the personality of people is very different, and the situation of these children who break the house is often very different, some are angry and try to break out of their own way, some rely on the money given by the family to eat and drink and wait for death, and some squander it in a short period of time and eventually wander the streets, etc., in short, all kinds of situations can happen.

It's far away, let's get down to business. Duan Yang asked, "Big brother, I, I heard that Big Brother is planning a big thing?" Duan Yao returned to the desk and sat down, and said mockingly: "Don't you only care about your business, how can you also care about big things?" Duan Yang frowned and said, "Big brother, I advise you to dispel this idea as soon as possible, doing so will not only kill you, but also harm the entire Duan family!" ”

Duan Yao was furious, slapped the table, and scolded: "Presumptuous, what qualifications do you have to say these things to me!" Hmph, how can a person like you understand the truth of righteousness if he is mercenary! For the sake of righteousness, I will not hesitate even if I am smeared with my liver and brain! Duan Yang frowned and said, "Big brother, under Yan Yun's rule, the people live and work in peace and contentment, what's wrong, why do you have to oppose him?" It's nothing more than that King Yan's land policy has caused losses to the family, so what's the matter, can't we change the channels for making a living......"

Duan Yao was poked in the sore spot by Duan Yang's words, but he didn't want to admit it, and said angrily: "Nonsense! The reason why we oppose King Yan is for the righteousness of heaven and earth and justice in the world! In your case, it is all for personal gain, and you are simply ill-intentioned to speak like this! In the end, he is a businessman, and he is really mercenary! ”

Duan Yang sighed, "If I really had bad intentions, I wouldn't have come to talk to my eldest brother about this, I would have gone to tell King Yan a long time ago!" Duan Yao's heart jumped, and he exclaimed excitedly: "Then you go to Gaomi!" Exchange the lives of our loved ones for your glory and wealth! You businessmen are mercenary, what can't you do! "Having said that, in fact, I am extremely worried, for fear that this little brother will really go to the Stay-behind Mansion to tell the secret, then I am afraid that my head will not be able to be saved, thinking of this, infinite fear swells in my heart.

Duan Yang said: "I said that I wouldn't tell the truth, why did the eldest brother use these words to stab me!" Duan Yao didn't dare to continue to stimulate Duan Yang, for fear that if it got out of control, it would be very bad, so his tone softened and said: "Big brother has encountered a lot of troubles recently, and it is inevitable that his words will be a little inappropriate, brother, don't be surprised." ”

Duan Yang saw that his eldest brother suddenly showed his warm side, and he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, and his heart felt something, and his true feelings naturally revealed on his face. Seeing this scene, Duan Yao couldn't help but feel relieved, he still knew his younger brother very well. Duan Yang said: "Big brother, the little brother shouldn't have asked about the eldest brother, but he was really worried about the eldest brother and our family!" Duan Yaopi smiled without smiling and said, "Little brother's worries are not completely unreasonable. After a pause, "Well, from now on, I'll stop what I'm planning!" Duan Yang was overjoyed, "Really, big brother?" Duan Yao nodded. Duan Yang said excitedly: "So the little brother is relieved!" In fact, with the foundation of our family, we can have a good income from doing anything, and there is no need to hold on to the land! Yanwang's policy is not to compete with the people for profit, in fact, it is just to change the situation that society has always been centered on land! Duan Yao smiled and nodded, but he was greatly disapproving in his heart. ……

Yang Peng came to the yamen of the left-behind mansion, and as soon as he entered the gate, he heard a soft cry of a woman in the hall. Chen Xiao was surprised, and said secretly: "Is there anything sad about Yang Jiumei?" With this in mind, he hurriedly walked into the hall. I saw two women sitting on either side of a small table on the left, one woman was hanging her head and crying in a low voice, and the other woman was comforting softly beside her. The crying woman Yang Peng recognized, but it was not Yang Jiumei, but Yelu Hanyu's niece, Yelu Hongling, that is, Xiao Yu's wife, looking at her sad and graceful appearance of pear blossoms with rain, I really felt pity; The woman next to her who was comforting her softly was Yang Jiumei.

Yang Peng saw that it was not Yang Jiumei who was crying, so he put his heart at ease, and saw Yelu Hongling crying pitifully, and couldn't help but feel pity in his heart, and then guessed that she had quarreled with her husband, so she ran to her aunt and grandmother to cry. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Yang Peng's face.

Yang Jiumei just turned her head to look at Yang Peng, saw the smile on his face, glanced at him angrily, and then whispered to Yelu Hongling: "Don't cry, King Yan is here." Yelu Hongling was startled, quickly raised her head, saw Yang Peng, hurriedly got up, and said, "I've seen His Royal Highness King Yan!" "The delicate face is flushed, the expression is very cowardly, and he looks very embarrassed. Yang Jiumei also stood up and saluted Yang Pengyingying.

Yang Peng sat down on a chair casually, glanced at Yelu Hongling, who was sad and shy, and asked with a smile: "Quarreled with a man?" Yelu Hongling immediately became aggrieved, and then her eyes showed a look of panic, and she quickly shook her head and said; No, nothing! Yang Peng didn't doubt him, thinking that Yelu Hongling was just shy, and comforted: "Between husband and wife, it's normal to quarrel and quarrel!" "Glanced at Yang Jiumei and said with a smile;" I also quarreled with my ninth sister! Yang Jiumei was stunned for a moment, then turned crimson and looked at Yang Peng with disgust; Yelu Hongling looked at her princess and said with a blank expression: "The princess is a subordinate of King Yan, why are you quarreling the same as us?" ”

Yang Peng realized that he had missed his mouth and said with a smile: "I mean, anyone will quarrel with each other." There will be quarrels between me and the ninth sister, and naturally there will be more quarrels with the princesses! When Yelu Hongling heard this, she was originally very sad and felt a lot better.

Yang Peng smiled evilly: "I'll teach you a way to deal with your man, and I will not be so fierce with you in the future." Yelu Hongling's eyes showed curiosity and looked at Chen Xiao.

Yang Peng said: "In the future, if he is fierce with you and bullies you, don't be angry with him, and immediately leave home and come to your aunt and grandmother." Stay for ten days and half a month, and when he is in a hurry, he will come to the door in person to make amends, and you will go back. Do this a few times, as long as your man is not too bad, basically he will not dare to treat you badly again! Yelu Hongling was annoyed with Xiao Yu at the moment, and when she heard Yang Peng's words, she only felt that this was a good way, and couldn't help but nod heavily.

Yang Jiumei glanced at Yang Peng, Yang Peng smiled and snorted at her. Yang Jiumei hadn't been intimate with Yang Peng for a long time, and when she saw him make such a move, she couldn't help but feel a wave of affection, and her beautiful eyes flowed with affection. Yang Peng saw Yang Jiumei's affectionate and affectionate appearance, and couldn't help but move his index finger, if it weren't for Yelu Hongling being here, he would have gone over to take Yang Jiumei into his arms at this moment, and he would have loved him!

Yang Jiumei asked Yelu Hongling, "Do you really want to live with me?" Yelu Hongling nodded and said angrily: "Since he doesn't cherish me so much, I don't want to be with him!" Yang Jiumei's eyes showed a look of worry, and she turned her head to Yang Peng and said, "King Yan, I will accompany Hongling to the backyard, ...... you?" Yang Peng smiled and said, "Go ahead, I'll come back later." He stood up.

Yang Jiumei smiled slightly, and threw an affectionate eye wave at Yang Peng, which made Yang Peng's heart beat faster, and then led Yelu Hongling away; Yang Peng left the Left-behind Mansion and returned to the Yanwang Palace.

At this time, Ye Yu Guanyin, Wang Hai Wang Rong, Qian Letian, Liu Zhiliang, Wu Xing and others were waiting for Yang Peng in the hall, everyone was talking, and when they saw Yang Peng coming in, they quickly stood up and bowed: "Yan Wang (big brother)." ”

Yang Peng sat down on a chair casually, smiled and said to everyone: "Sit down." Everyone sat down and sat down. Yang Peng looked at Qian Lotian and asked, "What is the current situation in the warehouse?" ”

Qian Lotian smiled bitterly: "The food is basically consumed!" Ye Yu Guanyin said: "The consumption of grain and grass is much larger than previously expected, and as a result, even the troops in Shanxi and Datong Mansion cannot be mobilized according to the previous order. Then he got up and handed the two official documents to Yang Peng, and said, "This is the letter of guilt sent by Han Bing and Cao Jun." Yang Peng took the official document, looked at it casually, put the official document in his hand, and said: "This is not their sin, there is no food and grass, how can they be blamed for the army's inability to move an inch." After a pause, he said with a smile: "Now it seems that it is a good thing that the battle of Goryeo did not go on as expected, otherwise there will be no food and grass, and the battle behind it will not be easy to fight. The men present all laughed strangely, and Ye Yu Guanyin and Wang Rong looked at Yang Peng with charming eyes.

Yang Peng's gaze turned to Liu Zhiliang's face, and said with a smile: "Liu Zhiliang has been away from home for a long time this time, presumably Mrs. Liu misses it tightly!" Liu Zhiliang's resolute face involuntarily showed a look of longing, and everyone showed a kind smile. Yang Peng said with a smile: "You just hold on for two more days, I have already sent someone to inform the Yingzhou side, and at this moment, Liu Niangzi and the others must be returning to Yanjing." "Liu Zhiliang has been stationed in Yuguan in the east of the barracks before, so his family still lives in Yuguan, but Yuguan is not their home, they have luxury mansions in Yanjing and Tianjing New Town, which is not a reward from Yang Peng, but based on military merits.

When Liu Zhiliang heard that the lady was about to come to Yanjing, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, stood up and said excitedly: "The eldest brother is really good to the younger brother!" Yang Peng smiled and said: "It's nothing, since I'm the eldest brother, I'm your parent, and I should have worried about these things!" Liu Zhiliang was very moved, and then his face showed hesitation. Yang Peng naturally understood what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "You don't have to delay with me, go and pick up your lady, I think they must also want to see you early!" Liu Zhiliang smiled a little embarrassedly, hugged his fists and said, "Big brother, then, the little brother will go here!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Liu Zhiliang immediately ran out of the hall.

Qian Letian said with a smile: "Liu Zhiliang is really in love with the lady in the family!" Ye Yu Guanyin and Wang Rong looked at Yang Peng together, with a somewhat strange expression.

Yang Peng said to Ya Yu Guanyin: "Guanyin, draft the order for me, send an order to Cao Jun and Han Bing, the previous order is canceled, and the troops are still staying in place!" Ya Yu Guanyin answered, walked to the back of the bookcase and sat down, and picked up the pen and wrote according to Yang Peng's request. After a while, he wrote two orders and came to Yang Peng for Yang Peng to look at. Yang Peng read it, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed it back to Guanyin and instructed, "Send it down." Ya Kannon answered, and immediately ran out of the hall.

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