Chapter 504, each with a ghost

Ye Hu Cheng couldn't help but say: "It's not that the Song people are cowardly, but that the cowardly literati among the Song people are the rulers, so they are cowardly." The warriors among the Song people are also extremely terrifying and awe-inspiring! For example, Yang Yanzhao's family army and Cao Jun's group, who have now become Yanyun Army, are very admired by our Khitan people for their bravery! Even compared to Yan Yunjun, they are not inferior! ”

The middle-aged man was very disapproving, smiled, and said, "This just shows that Song Guo can't keep warriors!" Cowardly literati are not worth mentioning, vulnerable! If the Song people dared to send troops to Jiangbei, then they would definitely see the invincible power of the Great Japanese Army! ”

Ye Hu Cheng smiled coldly, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Your navy and army, one attack Shandong, one attack two Huai, who is the main and who is the secondary?" The middle-aged man said: "There is no main and deputy, and the two generals are the main ones at the same time." Ye Hu Cheng said: "Without a boss, if there is an emergency, wouldn't it be impossible to coordinate and make a mess?" ”

The middle-aged man said, "The king is too worried. General Shigehiro Shimazu led the naval fleet to attack Shandong, Shandong has no other forces worth mentioning except for the Yanyun naval army, and now the Yanyun naval army has been defeated, giving up their Long Island Water Village, our army is victorious, and it is only a matter of time before the Yanyun naval army is completely annihilated, so Shandong is already in our pocket; And General Pingzhongsheng led 100,000 elite troops to assault Lianghuai, which should also be overwhelming, and there will never be any accidents. ”

Yeyu Hucheng frowned slightly, and said, "You said that it was Ping Chongsheng who led the army?" I heard that Taira Shigemori is the eldest son of your Imperial Minister Taira Kiyomori? The middle-aged man nodded and smiled: "The king is right, General Ping Chongsheng is the eldest son of our imperial minister. ”

Ya Yu Hucheng smiled and said, "Shimazu Shigehao is your crown prince who pulled it up, and Ping Chongsheng is the eldest son of Ping Qingsheng, isn't this the prince competing with Ping Qingsheng for interests and merit?" The middle-aged man's face changed slightly, and then he returned to normal, and said, "The king said he laughed!" Whether it is a general promoted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or the eldest son of the Prime Minister, they are all courtiers of His Majesty the Emperor, how can they talk about competing for interests and merit? ”

"Really? But I heard that the current Japanese emperor is just a puppet set up by Taira Kiyomori, but I'm afraid that Taira Kiyomori is dissatisfied and suspicious of the current prince's actions, right? ”

The middle-aged man laughed dryly and said, "What the king heard is completely a rumor, don't take it seriously!" ”

Ya Yu Hucheng saw the middle-aged man's face in his eyes, and knew in his heart that the information he had obtained about the Japanese people was true, but there was one thing he didn't understand: "Since the Japanese emperor is just a puppet of Taira Kiyomori, why would Taira Kiyomori sit back and watch that prince develop his strength and grow bigger and bigger?" After thinking about it, I didn't understand it, so I didn't think about it, and said secretly: The internal situation of this Japanese country is very complicated, and maybe there will be drastic changes at any time!

The middle-aged man saw Ye Yu Hucheng's thoughtful expression, worried that the other party would ask another question that he would not be able to answer, so he hurriedly asked: "Just now the king said that he has no opinion on the occupation of Shandong and Lianghuai by our Japanese army, I wonder if it is regarded as agreeing to our request?" ”

Yelu Hucheng nodded and said, "I promise you, as long as you can eat!" ”

The middle-aged man took out two agreements that had already been written from his arms, stepped forward, put them in front of Ye Yu Hucheng, bowed down and said: "King, this is the agreement that I have written, and it has been stamped with the treasure seal of Lord Ping Qingsheng, as long as the king stamps the treasure seal of the king, this agreement will be considered effective!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng saw that the two agreements were written in Chinese characters, and he didn't know any of them, so he handed the agreement to Han Chang, the Han general next to him, and said, "Take a closer look." Han Chang took the agreement with both hands, read it carefully, and said to Yeyu Hucheng: "King Qiqi, it is said that the two sides have discussed and agreed that the Japanese will occupy Shandong and the Lianghuai region, and there will be no objections after the war. The content of the two agreements is the same. Ye Hu Cheng nodded, took the agreement from Han Chang's hand, put it in front of him, and then took his own treasure seal, and stamped the treasure seal on the lower left side of the two agreements. Then he picked up one of them and handed it to the messenger.

The envoy hurriedly took the agreement with both hands, looked carefully at the seal of Yelu Tiger City, couldn't help but smile, folded it and hid it closely. He bowed to the Tiger City and said, "If the king has no command, I will take my leave." Tiger City nodded. The Japanese envoy bowed and withdrew from the tent.

Tiger City smiled coldly. Han Chang said with some indignation: "The appetite of the Japanese people is really too great, and the annexation of Shandong is not satisfied, and they actually want to annex the entire Lianghuai region!" The other generals were also very dissatisfied, and cursed the Japanese people one after another. Ye Hu Cheng sneered: "Let them annex Lianghuai, it is best to have a conflict with the Song people, this is beneficial to us!" ”

The Japanese envoy came out of the tent, turned on his horse, and galloped out of the camp with a few attendants, and galloped away towards the east. One of the attendants asked, "My lord, did that Yaren Tiger City agree to our plan?" The Japanese envoy smiled proudly and said: "This is just to inform them, Shandong and Lianghuai are already in our pocket, whether they agree or not, there will be no impact at all!" That Yaren Tiger City is a smart man, and he must have seen this, so he has no objections to our proposal! When several of the attendants heard this, they were very happy and proud. An entourage said proudly: "Our great Japan is now powerful in the world, and even the powerful Khitans are very jealous!" The crowd nodded approvingly.

The gaze turned to Bongseongju. Han Derang, the prime minister of Liao, stood at the door of the hall of the hotel, looking at the stars and moon in the sky in a daze, his brows furrowed slightly. Han Derang was originally ordered to lead an envoy to Tianjing New City, preparing to discuss further cooperation with Yang Peng, the king of Yan, to deal with the Japanese people. However, people are not as good as heaven, a sudden earth movement completely changed this plan, the Liao State suddenly shook hands with the Japanese people and made peace, hundreds of thousands of troops broke into the sixteen states of Yanyun with lightning speed, the former enemy became a friend, the former friend actually became an enemy in an instant, the world is really wonderful! Just when Han Derang led the delegation to Fengshengzhou, an order from the Empress Dowager suddenly came from Zhongjing, canceling the plan to send an envoy to Tianjing Xincheng, ordering him to return to Zhongjing immediately and wait for the dispatch, so he and his delegation stopped advancing and temporarily returned to Fengshengzhou City, preparing to return to Zhongjing after a short rest.

Han Derang couldn't help but sigh. At this time, an entourage walked in quickly, came to Han Derang, bowed and said, "My lord, I just received news that our seven-way secret envoy has successfully entered the territory of Yanyun. "The Khitans have already started a full-scale war with Yanyun, and the Queen Mother Wang Jun has ordered Han Derang to withdraw, why did Han Derang send seven secret envoys? It turned out that Han Derang saw the outbreak of a full-scale war between the two sides, so he considered how to assist the frontal battlefield, and he thought of a way, to rebel! At present, some of Yanyun's generals and local high-level officials were actually officials or generals of the Liao State, such as Guo Tong, Guo Tong was originally a general of the Liao State, and later surrendered to Yanyun, and then was surrendered by Yang Peng and became the inner line of the Yanyun Army.

In addition, there is that Zhang Xiaochun, who was originally left behind in Taiyuan in the Northern Song Dynasty, and later surrendered to the Khitans and became the Taiyuan guard of the Khitans, but now he is the deputy Xuanwei envoy of Yanyun Shanxi. There are many situations like this, in Han Derang's view, these are all forces that may be plotted and used, and it is not extravagant to expect all of them to be reversed, but as long as one or two or two or three of them are successfully reversed, it is enough to cause an uproar within Yan Yun, and it can obviously play a very huge role in shaking the hearts of Yan Yun's army and the people.

Han Derang listened to the words of his entourage, nodded, and couldn't help but sigh again. Seeing that Han Derang's face was worried, the entourage thought that he was worried about the seven-way secret envoy, and said: "The seven-way secret envoys are all cautious and meticulous people, and they will definitely not cause trouble!" ”

Han Derang shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about them, their success is naturally the best, even if they don't succeed, it won't have any bad effects." I'm worried about this war! ……”

The entourage was even more puzzled, and said: "The imperial army has swept the entire Yanyun, and at present, there is only one Yanjing left in the sixteen states of Yanyun that is struggling to support, I believe it will not be long before it can be taken!" I heard that Yang Peng, the king of Yan, is in Yanjing City, if he is captured or killed in this battle, our army may be able to sweep the entire Yanyun in one fell swoop! Besides, I heard that the Japanese army has also been dispatched, and the defeat of the Yanyun army has been decided! Why should adults be worried? ”

Han Derang sneered: "Yanyun's defeat is decided? How can it be so easy! Yang Peng is not an ordinary opponent, he is a heroic hero, just like Cao Cao, before the last moment, it is impossible to say who wins and who loses! The entourage was very unimpressed, but since the lord said so, as a subordinate, it was naturally difficult for him to refute.

Han Derang pondered: "It's better for me to stay in Fengsheng Prefecture now!" Then he turned and walked into the hall, walked behind the bookcase, picked up his pen, wrote a letter, dried the ink, folded it, and put it in an envelope. Write on the envelope 'Respectfully present to the Empress Dowager', then put down the brush, handed the letter to the entourage, and instructed: "Immediately send a reliable fast horse messenger back to Zhongjing and hand it over to the Empress Dowager!" The attendant bowed to his promise, took the letter with both hands, and ran down.

The gaze turned back to Yanjing. Early in the morning, the sound of war drums and horns of the Khitan army sounded, and the Khitan army lined up outside the south gate as before, preparing to attack the city.

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