Chapter 437, the disaster of innocence
Zhongjing, Liaoguo. Fan Yongzheng, the envoy of Yanyun, and Han Derang, the prime minister of Liao, were sitting in the back hall of the prime minister's mansion, drinking and talking at the same time. Han Derang said with great emotion: "We and Yan Yun were originally enemies who shared the same sky, but we didn't expect that we would form an alliance today to deal with the same enemy!" Fan Yong couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Not only did the prime minister not expect it, but I didn't expect it either!" Your two sides, less than a year ago, were fighting you to the death, but now they have turned hostility into friendship! It's really unimaginable! ”
Han Derang poured a glass of wine, raised it, and said, "Cheers to us!" Fan Yong raised his glass and said with a smile: "Cheers to life and death!" The two couldn't help laughing and toasted a glass of wine together. Putting down the wine glass, Fan Yong asked, "Your country still has a large number of troops stationed on Xijing Road, are you still worried about our Yanyun?" ”
Han Derang said in his heart: "It's strange to be relieved." But he wouldn't say that, and said with a smile: "Your envoy misunderstood, it's just an ordinary guard, not to guard against Yan Yun!" ”
How could Fan Yong believe this statement, and said with a smile: "If your country does not have such a mind, it is naturally the best." If we really want to take advantage of the fire to rob, King Yan will never lead a large army into Goryeo and risk a fierce battle with the Japanese people, but will attack Xijing Road and sweep the Khitan army! Looking at Han Derang, he saw Han Derang's face showing contemplation, and continued: "With the combat strength of our army, take advantage of this great opportunity to sweep Xijing Road with 100,000 elites, the prime minister is a smart person, and he should know that our army has a great chance of winning!" ”
Han Derang looked up at Fan Yong and said, "Since your envoy is straight to the point, then I won't beat around the bush." You and the Japanese people can be said to have no grievances in the past and no enmity in the near future, but our Da Liao and Yan Yun have fought countless battles, and countless Han people have died at the hands of our Khitans, and countless Khitan people have died at the hands of Yan Yunjun, it is not an exaggeration to say that the enmity between the two sides is as deep as the sea. My Great Liao Kingdom is now in a great disaster, you should fall into the well, but why would you draw your sword to help? What is the idea of King Yan, and what does he really want to get? ”
Fan Yong smiled: "Prime Minister must have been holding back these words for a long time, right?" Han Derang smiled, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Fan Yong said: "If I don't make these things clear, I am afraid that you will always have a grudge and suspect that we have ill intentions." After a pause, "Our Yan King decided to help the Liao Kingdom, naturally he didn't want to be a good person, it was completely for our Yan Yun's own hegemony!" Now that the Mongols and the Japanese are in full swing, if they sit back and watch them destroy the Liao State, then our Yanyun will inevitably become their second target! To tell the truth, although we are not afraid of any enemy up and down Yanyun, we are not sure if we face the Mongol and Japanese coalition forces alone! Even if we can win in the end, I don't know how many of my Yanyun warriors will die, and the tragic victory is like defeat, which is not what we want! ”
Han Derang didn't make a sound, listened to him continue, only listened to Fan Yong continue: "Liao State and us, the current situation can be said to be interdependent, without Liao State, it is definitely a big disadvantage for Yan Yun!" I don't want to tell lies, we are only afraid that we will never be friends with the Liao State, as long as the Mongols and the Japanese are suppressed, we Yanyun will continue to attack the Liao State! ”
Han Derang glanced at Fan Yong, laughed, and gave a thumbs up: "Okay!" Brother Fan is worthy of being Yan Yun's subordinates, fast talking, no hypocrisy, happy! Fan Yong smiled and said, "When I say this, the Prime Minister is afraid and doesn't fully believe it." I'll give you another piece of news, and you won't have any more doubts when you hear it! Han Derang's face was curious. Fan Yong smiled and said, "Your country may not know that when I came here, our King Yan had already led 100,000 elites into Goryeo!" ”
Han Derang was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Is this true?" Fan Yong smiled and said, "Naturally, it's true!" I'm sure it won't be long before you get a report on it! ”
Han Derang said solemnly: "If Yan Yun really does this, our Great Liao Kingdom is definitely not a person who knows what to do, and we will definitely ally with Yan Yun wholeheartedly to deal with the Mongols and the Japanese together!" Fan Yong smiled and said, "I hope so!" ”
The two continued to drink and talk, and they didn't talk about anything serious, but they talked about the wind and snow, and the men chatted with each other, and the topic was naturally inseparable from women. The two chatted while drinking, laughing from time to time. ……
After Fan Yong returned to the hotel, Han Derang left the mansion and hurried to the palace. When I saw the Empress Dowager Wang Jun in the imperial study, I bowed down and said, "Niangniang." At this time, Wang Jun was sitting behind his desk and reading the military report from Goryeo that he had just received not long ago, his brows furrowed, and he looked worried and annoyed. Suddenly threw the military report to the ground and scolded: "Rice buckets, all rice buckets!" As soon as our Great Liao army withdrew, they were actually defeated like a mountain! ”
Han Derang saw Wang Jun like this, although he hadn't read the military report yet, he basically guessed the current battle situation on the Goryeo side. Wang Jun glanced at Han Derang and asked, "You and Yanyun Envoy have been drinking, can you get useful news?" Han Derang bowed down and said, "I was about to report to my mother." The minister thought that Yan Yun should really want to form an alliance with us and deal with the Japanese people. Wang Jun snorted, "It's hard to say! That King Yan is as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a tiger, I am afraid that he deliberately said that he wanted to help us deal with the Japanese people, but in fact, he wanted to take advantage of our unpreparedness to use troops against us! ”
Han Derang said: "The minister originally thought the same way, but after listening to Fan Yong's words, he felt that they might not be what we imagined!" Immediately, Fan Yong's words at the banquet were relayed in detail. After Wang Jun heard this, his face showed contemplation, and he couldn't help muttering: "Such a reason is also tenable!" He glanced at Han Derang, frowned, and said, "But just based on his words, I can't rest assured!" Han Derang remembered something and hurriedly said: "By the way, he also said that their King Yan has personally commanded an army of 100,000 to attack Goryeo, and he may be fighting a fierce battle with the Japanese people at this moment!" Wang Jun's eyes lit up, and he only felt incredulous.
At this moment, a female officer hurriedly rushed in and reported: "Niangniang, a Goryeo messenger is coming!" Wang Jun said: "It's really time to come, announce his audience quickly!" The female officer answered, and immediately ran down, and then the voice of the 'announcement of the envoy' sounded from outside the imperial study and continued to the gate of the palace.
Not long after, a dusty middle-aged officer rushed into the imperial study, knelt down in front of Wang Jun, and bowed: "The villain greets the Empress Dowager, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
Wang Jun asked urgently, "How is the battle situation on the Goryeo side?" ”
The middle-aged officer said with a frightened face: "Kaijing has been lost, our army has retreated to Pyongyang, Xijing, and Your Majesty has decided to rely on Pyongyang to defend it!" Wang Jun frowned, she didn't expect that her compatriots would even lose Kaijing, so the situation was already extremely critical, but the hateful northern front was also defeated by the Mongols, and the Khitan army itself could not be protected, and it was impossible to support Goryeo. Wang Jun was very anxious, but at the moment, there was nothing he could do except be anxious.
That night, Wang Jun had a terrible nightmare, screamed, and woke up, so that the whole inner courtyard of the palace jumped until the next morning.
Wang Jun started to fight in the early morning, and the civil and military ministers all saw Wang Jun's haggard complexion, and couldn't help but think of the current situation in the north, and couldn't help but worry. In the main hall, Wang Jun asked the ministers how to deal with the current crisis, but the main hall was silent, and no one could share her worries. Wang Jun was angry in his heart, and he only felt that these high-sounding ministers were really useless except for the usual show off in front of the people, and he really wanted to slaughter them all!
Wang Jun was impatient, so he wanted to disperse, so he stood up. Seeing this, the eunuch next to him immediately prepared to raise his voice and sing a promise. At this moment, an officer of the royal army hurriedly rushed in, knelt down and said, "Qi Yu Niangniang, there is a military report from Goryeo!" ”
Wang Jun thought it was bad news again, so he couldn't help but get nervous and wanted to ignore it, but how could that be possible, he hesitated for a moment and said to the officer: "Xuan!" The officer answered and ran down, and the king sat back on the dragon chair, when the infant emperor who was the ornament began to cry. Wang Jun was in an irritable mood, and said to the old eunuch standing next to him: "Hold the emperor down." The old eunuch answered, and went down with the emperor in his arms, followed by several palace maids.
A dusty messenger rushed into the main hall and saluted the king: "The villain greets the Empress Dowager, Chitose Chitose Chitose!" ”
Wang Jun sighed and raised his voice: "Say, what's the situation!" ”
The officer said anxiously: "Qi Yu Niangniang, Pyongyang has been lost, and the remnants of our army have retreated to the deep mountains in the north. "The monarchs and ministers of the Liao State have long been numb to the successive bad news on the Goryeo side, and when they hear such bad news at this moment, they don't feel much about it, they just think: Defeated again! If it is undefeated, it is strange.
Wang Jun felt a great headache and rubbed his temples. The officer said: "Niangniang, Your Majesty begs Niangniang to send reinforcements quickly, our army will not last long!" ”
Wang Jun couldn't help but get angry and said: "You can't hold on for long, it's clear that you can't hold on for a moment!" The Japanese launched a counterattack from the southern seashore, all the way like a bamboo, and you actually lost all the country in such a short time! Really, really ......" She wanted to scold them for being rice buckets and waste, but she thought that they were her compatriots after all, and it was not good to scold them in front of the ministers of the Liao State, so she couldn't say the scolding words that came to her mouth.
After the discussion, Wang Jun came to the back garden to relax, thinking of the current situation, he only felt that the pressure was pressed down like Mount Tai, as if he was out of breath. A thought suddenly rose in my heart: 'How good it would be if Yan Yunjun really sent troops!' At this moment, she only felt extremely tired, and she really wished that there was a man she could lean on. Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, feeling that he was really delusional, although the envoy of the King of Yan said it soundly, but he was afraid that it was a trick on the side of the King of Yan, if he believed it, he was afraid that he would die without a place to bury. He sighed faintly, turned his head to look at the sun in the sky, the sun was shining on his eyes, and he only felt a sense of confusion.
A female officer ran behind Wang Jun, bowed down and said, "Niangniang, the prime minister is here." "When the discussion was dissolved just now, Wang Jun asked the eunuch to inform Han Derang to come to the imperial garden to see him, saying that there was something important to discuss, Han Derang received the notice, and immediately left the main hall from the gate, and then went to the imperial garden from the courtier passage next to the main hall, although the Liao State did not have so many stinky rules as the Song Dynasty, but as a subordinate, he could not leave from the back door of the main hall with the master.
Wang Jun turned around and saw Han Derang Zhenggong standing in the distance waiting for the summons, so he said to the female officer, "Bring the prime minister up." The female officer answered, ran down, and led Han Derang to Wang Jun, Han Derang bowed down and said, "I've seen Niangniang." Wang Jun sighed and frowned: "The situation is difficult, but no one can share my worries for Your Majesty!" Han Derang couldn't help but be embarrassed, and said to himself: "The minister is incompetent!" Wang Jun shook his head, "Then you can't be blamed, the prime minister is the head of the hundred officials, in charge of internal affairs, military affairs are not your responsibility, the prime minister does not have to blame himself!" ”
Han Derang said: "Niangniang, the war in the north is difficult, and the situation in Goryeo in the south is also dangerous, should all the 200,000 troops guarding Xijing Road be withdrawn?" ”
Wang Jun frowned and said, "I can't make up my mind!" What was Yang Peng's idea? If we withdraw the army, but the Yan Yun army suddenly attacked, I am afraid that the situation will be even more sinister! Han Derang felt that what Wang Jun said was reasonable, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
A royal officer rushed over, bowed down and said, "Niangniang, Yanyun's envoy, Lord Fan Yong, is asking to see you outside the palace!" Wang Jun was stunned, glanced at Han Derang, and asked, "What is he here for?" Han Derang shook his head and said, "I don't know, but since he came to the palace to ask for a meeting, I'm afraid that if there is something big, it's better for Niangniang to see it!" Wang Jun nodded and said to the officer, "Bring him over." The officer said yes, ran down, and led Fan Yong over a moment later.
Fan Yong bowed down and said, "Yanyun envoy Fan Yong has seen Niangniang. Wang Jun smiled and said, "Your envoy doesn't have to be polite. Your envoy came to visit suddenly, I don't know what to say? Fan Yong smiled and said: "I specially brought good news to Niangniang!" Wang Jun and Han Derang were slightly surprised and glanced at each other. Fan Yong took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Wang Jun, and said, "This is the letter forwarded by Yanjing that the envoy just received. ”
Countless thoughts surged in Wang Jun's heart, so he took the letter, took out the letter, unfolded it, and read it. Wang Jun's beautiful face originally showed a puzzled look, but after a while, that puzzled look turned into surprise, and he said in disbelief: "I didn't expect King Yan to really send troops to Goryeo, and he also broke through Jinchuan and defeated the 100,000 partial divisions of the Japanese army in Haizhou!" This, this ,......" Wang Jun was excited, and there was no reason for "this" for a long time. Han Derang on the side was also very excited.
Wang Jun looked at Fan Yong and said excitedly: "I really blamed King Yan, I didn't expect King Yan to really come to help us!" Fan Yong smiled and said: "Niangniang didn't believe that it was human nature before. Niangniang should not be grateful, because we are doing this for ourselves. Regardless of what happened to both of us in the past, at least at this moment our intentions and purposes are the same! We are allies! Wang Jun nodded, "Yes, we are allies!" ”
Fan Yong said: "However, due to the problem of food and grass, the scale of our army is limited after all, and the Goryeo army was defeated too quickly, and the 100,000 army of King Yan can only contain the Japanese army to a certain extent." I'm afraid that the Japanese will eventually come to the border of Liao, and whether you can resist the attack of the Japanese depends on you after all! Wang Jun and Han Derang frowned and nodded.
The two sides talked for a while, and Fan Yong said the same things he said when he met Wang Jun before, saying that as long as the Liao State made a request, Yan Yun would definitely try his best to help, and so on. At that time, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State did not think much of Fan Yong's statement, but at this moment, they felt something else, and there was a sense of peace of mind that they had allies around them to rely on.
Fan Yong took his leave and left. Wang Jun asked Han Derang: "Prime Minister, do you say this news is true?" Han Derang thought for a moment and said, "It should be true!" It won't be long before this news can be confirmed, and Yan Yun will not make such a clumsy deception! Wang Jun nodded. Later that day, news came from Wang Jun's own intelligence system, confirming the authenticity of Fan Yong's news, and the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State were very excited, and some people even couldn't control themselves from crying, this feeling of being helped by others in danger was something that the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State had never felt.
Since Wang Jun had already affirmed that Yan Yun was wholeheartedly helping his side, he had no scruples, and immediately ordered Xijing Dao, leaving only the most basic defensive force, and the remaining 200,000 troops were all transferred back to Zhongjing to deal with the crisis! At the same time that Wang Jun gave this order, Yan Yunjun had already had to retreat from Goryeo, and of course the Liao side had to wait for a while to get this news. ……
The gaze returned to Yanjing. Yang Peng received the information that Fan Yong and Du Cai sent back from Zhongjing one after another, and learned that the Liao State had transferred all the troops of Xijing Dao back, and couldn't help but joke to Ye Yu Guanyin beside him: "There are less than 30,000 soldiers and horses left in Xijing Dao, which is a great opportunity to seize Xijing Dao!" Ya Kannon snorted, "You don't tease me!" I know you wouldn't do this kind of thing! He raised his eyebrows and said, "Even if you want to do this, I won't say anything!" Although I hope that the Great Liao Kingdom will be disaster-free and painless, I hope that Yanyun will become stronger and stronger! If Yan Yun wants to destroy the Great Liao Kingdom, I have no choice but to support you! ”
Yang Peng looked at the woman in front of him, and what else could he say in his heart except being moved.
Yang Peng looked at the letter in his hand, threw it on the bookcase, sighed, and said: "The Liao State has concentrated its strength now, but in terms of the current situation, it is still more than lucky. If there is only one Mongolia, the Liao State should be able to turn the corner from danger to safety, but there is still a Japanese army in the southeast of the Liao State! At this moment, maybe the Japanese army has already launched an attack on the Liao State! What is the fate of Liao, it depends on the will of heaven! If the Liao can survive for a year, we can help them! Yari Kannon frowned.
At dinner that day, Yang Peng and Ye Yu Guanyin sat together to eat and drink, Ye Yu Guanyin had something in her heart, a glass of wine after a glass of wine, although she was a heroine among women, but she couldn't withstand a big jar of spirits, drunk on the dinner table, unconscious. Yang Peng didn't persuade her from beginning to end, knowing that she had something in her heart, he let her get drunk and vent.
Yang Peng took Ya Yu Guanyin in his arms and stood up. Looking at her beautiful and resolute face, I couldn't help but feel infinite pity in my heart, and said with a smile: "What a stupid woman, drunk like this!" If my husband is not around, wouldn't it be a great danger! Holding Ya Yu Guanyin around the ladies screen, he walked to the bed and gently put Ye Yu Guanyin down. Yari Kannon suddenly shouted, "I'm going to kill you!" Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, looked at Ye Yu Guanyin's cheeks, and saw that her eyes were closed, it turned out that she didn't wake up, but was just talking in her dreams. Yang Peng sighed, infinite tenderness rose in his heart, leaned down and kissed Ye Yu Guanyin's red lips, not wanting Ye Yu Guanyin to suddenly swing his right fist and slam it on Yang Peng's eye socket with a bang, Yang Peng groaned and almost fell to the ground.
Hurriedly stood up with her left eye socket covered, and looked at Ya Yu Guanyin, only to see her shouting and shouting and talking in her dreams, waving her hands vigorously, as if she was fighting with someone.
Yang Peng pulled the quilt on the side of the bed and covered it with Ya Yu Guanyin. Turned around and walked out of the screen, came to the bookcase on the first floor, picked up the mirror on the bookcase and looked at it, only to see his left eye socket surrounded by black blue, like a one-eyed panda, I couldn't help crying and laughing. I pressed it gently, and it really hurt! Yang Peng muttered: "Guanyin is really wild! Damn, how can I go out to meet people like this! ”……
Yari Kannon woke up leisurely and sat up from the bed. Holding his head with one hand, he only felt the pain in his head blowing up one after another, which was very uncomfortable. I took a deep breath, looked around, and found that it was not my room, and I was stunned, and then I realized that I was sleeping in my eldest brother's room. After thinking about it, he knew what was going on, and subconsciously looked down at himself, and found that the clothes on his body were still the same as when he was drunk, and there was no abnormality at all, he couldn't help but be very surprised, and couldn't help muttering: "It's really strange, he didn't take the opportunity to get me, did he change sex?" Suddenly, a worried mood rose in his heart, and he frowned and muttered, "Could it be that the eldest brother has no interest in me anymore?" Then he became angry and said fiercely; If he dares to abandon me, I will kill him and kill myself!" ”
Ya Kannon got down from the bed, stepped out of the screen, and saw a light coming through under the stairs, so he raised his feet and walked over.
Coming down the stairs, I saw Yang Peng sitting in front of the lamp to deal with official business, looking engrossed. Ya Yu Guanyin thought that during the time when he was asleep, his eldest brother had been with him all the time, and a tenderness couldn't help but come to his heart. walked over, sat on the ground next to Yang Peng, looked at Yang Peng's side face in a daze, and his eyes showed a very happy and happy look. Yang Peng smelled the body fragrance of Ye Yu Guanyin, and then he found that Ye Yu Guanyin was coming, turned his head to look at her, and said with a smile: "Why did you get up?" I thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow! ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
