Yang Peng said: "The answer seems to be obvious! ”

Ya Yu Guanyin asked, "Big brother, have you made up your mind?" Yang Peng nodded. Ya Yu Guanyin immediately said: "Since the eldest brother has made up his mind, without further ado, he should immediately order the people and the army to retreat. This time is the right time, if you wait for the main force of the Khitan army to arrive, it will be too late to retreat! ”

Yang Peng waved his hand and said, "Guanyin, you misunderstood......

Ya Yu Guanyin was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "Big brother decided to defend Yanjing?" Yang Peng nodded, turned his head to look at the brightly lit night market in the city, and said: "If you retreat, the army should be able to retreat into Hebei safely, but I am afraid that most of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city will die!" ......" Ya Yu Guanyin frowned and said, "Big brother, I don't agree with your idea!" If you put yourself in danger for the sake of these hundreds of thousands of people, it will not only be these hundreds of thousands of people who will suffer in the future, it will be millions, tens of millions of people! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "I haven't finished my words yet!" Although your eldest brother and I are sometimes a bit of a mother-in-law, we still know the importance and the truth that the overall situation is important! The main reason why I want to defend Yanjing is that I think we may be able to hold it. If we can hold Yanjing, it will undoubtedly be the most beneficial for our army, and we can minimize the losses this time! ”

Ya Yu Guanyin frowned and thought for a moment, and said, "I still think this is too risky, it's really not worth it!" ”

Yang Peng said: "Don't worry, if it really comes to a critical moment, I promise you that I will not sit still, and I will lead the army to break through!" Then he joked: "I still have so many beautiful wives and concubines of you, I am reluctant to die!" Ye Yu Guanyin glanced at Yang Peng.

The two of them came down from the attic and walked by the lake. When Yang Peng saw the sparkling lake, he couldn't help but think of the water army, stopped, frowned, and said, "I don't know how the situation is on the water army's side?" Ya Yu Guanyin frowned and said, "This matter is also very worrying! If the navy is finally defeated, our situation will be even more difficult! Yang Peng frowned and said, "More than that!" If the navy is defeated, it will be almost impossible for us to turn defeat into victory, and the hope of re-emerging in the future will be very slim! ”

Ye Yu Guanyin was stunned, she didn't expect that her eldest brother would take the victory or defeat of the water army so seriously, and after thinking about it carefully, she figured out the key to it. If the naval army is defeated, it seems that the impact is not too great on the surface, but in fact, it makes the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and Hebei and Shandong lose the right barrier, and the Khitan army and the Japanese army can drive straight into Hebei and Shandong, so that Yang Peng's previous plan cannot achieve the strategic goals set before, whether it is revised or not, and the best result is only to hold the two lines from Hejian Province to the west and south, while the other areas are all in the hands of the enemy. (Hejian Mansion is now Hejian County, Hebei Province)

These are only the current superficial effects, in addition, once the navy is defeated, the Japanese navy will completely control the sea, in that way, Yan Yun's main income sea trade will be cut off, in this way, Yan Yun's income will be cut by half, which will inevitably greatly affect the development of all aspects of Yan Yun and the recovery of strength, as well as future counterattacks. Yan Yun's loss of maritime trade was like losing the source of blood, and the whole body was bound to quickly thin and weaken. In time, although Yan Yun will not perish, it will be difficult to compete with the Khitans and others!

In addition, if the Yanyun army was really defeated in this big tent, it lost the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, Shandong, and most of Hebei. Yang Peng's prestige and Yan Yun's prestige will be dealt a fatal blow, at that time, the internal enemy will definitely take the opportunity to attack, and the people will be panicked.

Therefore, although the proportion of the navy in Yan Yun's army is very small, it is really related to Yan Yun's life and death at this time. ……

Yelu Hucheng led a large army to Shunzhou, stayed overnight, and then left Shunzhou to continue the march to the south. A few days later, when they arrived at Yanjing City, 100,000 cavalry had already arrived at Yanjing, and the army converged and pressed Yanjing, and Yanjing City was in danger. The people in the city had already regained their smiles, but now they all became panicked, and the entire Yanjing City was running at full speed like a huge machine.

Yelu Hucheng met with the generals in the big tent, and looked at the two cavalry generals, Zaridor and Queka: "What about the other cavalry?" "Liduo was originally the cavalry general of the Khitan army, as for Kuika, he was originally subordinate to Yelu Guanyin, after Yehu Guanyin left the Liao State, he defected to Yehu Huge, and after Ye Hugo was defeated, he defected to Yehu Hucheng. Not long ago, in the great battle against the Mongols, Kuika made great achievements and was promoted to a general by Yelu Hucheng.

He bowed and said; "Back to the king, I'm afraid the other cavalry won't be able to come! ……”

Yelu Hucheng was taken aback, and asked angrily, "What do you mean by this?" ”

"Just before the king led the army to come, General Xiao Sali sent an urgent report from the south that his 100,000 army was defeated by Yanyun's First Army in Hejian Mansion......"

Yehu Hucheng and the others were shocked, and Yehu Hucheng said in disbelief: "This is impossible! Yan Yun can't keep food and grass, how can he mobilize the army? Xiao Liduo shook his head and said, "This last general is not clear. However, Yan Yun's First Legion was really dispatched, and Xiao Sali's 100,000 cavalry was indeed defeated by them! Xiao Sali will not be able to fabricate his own defeats after drinking the general! Yeron Tiger City was shocked. Xiao Liduo continued: "After Xiao Sali was defeated by the Great General, he retreated to Gaoyang Prefecture in the north of Hejian Mansion. Unexpectedly, a day later, an army of 200,000 Yan Yun appeared and launched an attack on them, but it was Yan Yun's sixth, seventh, and first legions who came together! ”

Ye Hu Cheng just heard the news that Yan Yun's First Legion had appeared in Hejian Mansion, and although he was shocked, he still kept his expression calm and remained silent. At this time, when he heard that the 200,000 troops of Yan Yun's three legions launched a counterattack, he finally couldn't help but change his complexion, and said angrily: "Nonsense, it's completely impossible!" If Yan Yun urgently collected grain from the people, it was possible to raise food and grass to protect one legion, but how could three legions be possible in such a short time? ”

Xiao Liduo also said very suspiciously: "I can't figure this out. However, the last general thinks that Xiao Sali will not talk nonsense and lie about the military situation on such a big matter! Besides, General Xiao Sali is the veteran general of our Great Liao Kingdom, and it is impossible for him to mistake the enemy's strength because he is panicked! ”

Ya Hu Cheng stood up and paced back and forth in the tent, his mind full of doubts and worries at the same time. With so many unexpected things happening at this moment, it's hard to guarantee that there won't be more unexpected things to follow. Stopped, turned his head and asked Xiao Liduo: "You said that the 200,000 Yanyun army attacked Gaoyang Prefecture, what was the result?" ”

Xiao Liduo said: "Xiao Sa couldn't resist the general and retreated again." This time, while retreating, General Sali sent people to gather the war cavalry in the southern states of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to go for reinforcements. Now General Sali has gathered 150,000 or 60,000 cavalry and relied on the Yishui River to confront the Yanyun army. The status of the battle is currently unknown. ”

Ye Hu Cheng thought about it, frowned, and said, "Yang Peng has gathered 200,000 troops to counterattack the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, which is really unexpected!" Where did they get their food? He looked at Xiao Liduo and asked, "Is there any news about the Japanese people?" "At the same time as I received the report from General Sali, I also received news from Xizuo near Haizhou. The elite of the 100,000 Japanese army is storming Haizhou, and the battle situation is extremely tragic, and it is said that more than 100 high-ranking samurai have been killed in the battle! ”

Ye Hu Cheng asked, "In other words, the Japanese people were still nailed to Haizhou by Yan Yunjun?" He nodded and said, "That's it!" ”

Yelu Hucheng pondered for a moment, and said to Xiao Liduo: "Send a message to the Japanese people, and ask them to immediately mobilize the army of Goryeo to cross the sea and attack Hebei directly!" Tell them that as long as they can take Hebei, I can promise to give them the whole of Hebei as well! ”

When the generals heard this, they were all shocked, and Xiao Liduo couldn't help but say: "King, you said that you would give up the whole of Hebei to the Japanese people?" ”

Ye Yu Hucheng glanced at the generals and said with a smile: "Hebei belongs to Yanyun, let it to the Japanese people, are you still heartbroken?" The generals glanced at each other, and Kuika said: "It's not heartache, I just think that such a big piece of fat should belong to our Great Liao Kingdom!" The generals nodded in agreement.

Ye Hu Cheng frowned and said, "I have a faint bad premonition in my heart, but I can't say what it is!" Glancing at the generals, he said in a deep voice: "Our opponent is King Yan, maybe he has some terrible backhand ready to deal with us!" All the generals have suffered from Yang Peng and Yan Yun, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts. Ye Yu Hucheng said: "Give the Japanese people some benefits, let them go to play the vanguard for us, if they win, it will be much easier to deal with the Japanese people in the future than to deal with Yan Yun, but if they are defeated, just use the Japanese people as a shield!" The generals felt that Ye Yu Hucheng's concerns were very reasonable, and they all bowed down and said, "The king is wise! ”

Ye Hu Cheng said to Xiao Liduo: "You go to the arraignment immediately. Liduo replied.

The envoy of the Japanese people was overjoyed when he heard Xiao Liduo's words. Then he asked suspiciously: "I wonder why Yeyu Tiger City is so generous and willing to hand over Hebei to us?" Yan Liduo sighed and said: "It's not a secret, mainly because the attack on Yanjing has been delayed, our army really has no energy to take care of Hebei, and I am worried that Yanyun officials in Hebei will organize the military and civilians to come to support, so I hope that your country will send a large army across the sea to attack Hebei as soon as possible!" ”

When the Japanese envoy heard Liduo's words, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he couldn't help but raise his chin and said sarcastically: "I didn't expect that the Khitan army that is mighty in the world will have times when it can't cope with it!" ”

Xiao Liduo heard the ridicule in the other party's words, and couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, and secretly thought: "My Great Liao Kingdom was originally going to use troops against you Japanese people, but fortunately, there was a great earth movement, which made my Great Liao Kingdom change its strategic goals, otherwise you would definitely be killed and driven out of the Goryeo Kingdom now!" Now it's arrogant, and I really don't know whether to live or die! As soon as he thought of this, he suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Don't make a mistake! Our Great Liao Kingdom is just for the sake of insurance, not right! If you don't want it, then stop it! You Japanese people in Hebei don't have to think about it! Then he stood up, and looked like he was about to leave.

Seeing this, the Japanese envoy couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly stood up and said, "The general must be angry, this envoy has no other meaning!" General, please sit down, let's talk again, talk again! ”

Seeing that the other party had softened, Liduo sat back in his seat, glanced at him, and said: "My meaning is very clear, I hope you will send troops to Hebei to share the pressure on our side." If you can send troops and finally conquer the Hebei lands, then we, Yelu Hucheng, promise to cede Hebei to you Japanese people. On the contrary, if you can't send troops, or if you send troops but don't achieve any results, I'm sorry, my Great Liao Army will still capture Hebei! ”

The Japanese envoy secretly said, "You Ya Hu Cheng really know how to make a plan! Then he thought for a while, looked at Xiao Liduo, and said: "General, our army sent troops to Hebei, of course, for ourselves, but after all, we also shared the pressure of your army, if we don't get any benefits after the war, it's really too much to say!" I mean, your army will not take care of Hebei, Hebei will be in charge of our Great Japanese Army, whether it can be attacked or not, it is our own business! ”

Xiao Liduo thought for a while, nodded and said: "Since your envoy said it so sincerely, then we will take another step back, and we will not care about the Hebei region!" But you must send troops as soon as possible! ”

The Japanese envoy hurriedly nodded and said, "Please rest assured about this, general!" To tell the truth, our side has actually assembled 200,000 troops in Goryeo and is preparing to attack Shandong across the sea, and now that we have reached this agreement with you, we can completely divide these 200,000 troops into two routes, all the way to attack Hebei and all the way to Shandong! ”

Xiao Liduo was secretly frightened: "The Japanese people have already assembled a large number of follow-up troops, and their appetite is very great! Putting these thoughts behind him for a moment, he nodded, "Good! He stood up and said, "Well, we'll make an agreement!" The Japanese envoy hurriedly stood up and said, "General, although you can trust Yelu Hucheng and the general, you must report to the general in Xia, and I am afraid it will not be good if there is no formal agreement......

Xiao Liduo smiled, took out a contract that had been written from his arms, handed it to the messenger, and said, "The contract is ready. ”

The Japanese envoy hurriedly took the contract and looked at it, it turned out to be two contracts with the same content, which had been stamped with the great seal of Yelang Tiger City. The Japanese envoy looked at the content carefully, it was basically the same as the content of the negotiation between the two parties just now, and couldn't help but smile and nodded, looked up at Xiao Liduo, and said, "Can I take these two contracts with me?" Xiao Liduo nodded and said, "I was originally going to let you take it away." The messenger folded the two contracts, returned to the back of the bookcase, and solemnly placed the two contracts into a small wooden box.

Yan Liduo remembered something and asked, "I heard you say before, after your navy broke through the Changdao Water Village, it was chasing the remnants of Yanyun's navy, I don't know what the result was?" ”

The Japanese envoy smiled: "There is no news yet, but there is no suspense in this war, the Yanyun Naval Army is defeated and fled one by one, and it is only a matter of time before the whole army is annihilated!" He nodded.

……

The gaze turned to Bianliang. The original noisy and lively restaurant and teahouse is now a little depressing and tense. The tea guests were all whispering about the current war in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, only to see a fat businessman-looking drinker who said worriedly and angrily: "This thief God, such a catastrophe suddenly happened, and the Khitan people came in!" God bless kindness! Several friends at the same table nodded their heads, and they all looked worried.

At this moment, a handsome young man in a Confucian shirt at the next table laughed mockingly, deliberately raised his voice and said loudly: "The sage has long said the truth of heaven and man induction. If someone in the world does something that goes against heaven and human morality, God will inevitably punish him, and the greater the bad thing he does, the heavier the punishment. Such a earth shake and millions of lives were affected, which is really a huge natural disaster that has never been seen in ancient times! What does this mean? This shows that some people in the world have done very evil things that anger and resentment, so God will send such a huge natural disaster! Several literati at the same table chimed in.

The fat merchant was furious, Huo Ran got up, glared and said, "You are clearly a gossip to confuse the public!" The handsome scholar said, "What I said is just a very simple fact. People in the world are ignorant and unwilling to face the facts! The fat merchant snorted and asked, "You said that this earth movement was caused by someone in the world who did something that violated heaven and human morality, who is this person?" ”

The handsome scholar snorted and said, "Everyone knows about this matter, so why bother to find it out below!" ”

The fat merchant pointed at the handsome scholar and asked, "Are you talking about King Yan?" The handsome scholar snorted and did not make a sound. The fat merchant's face sank, and he said angrily: "Now that the alien race is invading, King Yan is leading the loyal soldiers and civilians to fight a bloody battle with foreign enemies!" I suspect that you are clearly colluding with the Khitans, and want to help the Khitans defeat the Yan King and annex our Chinese land! You people who are full of benevolence and morality, but in fact they are wolf-hearted! ”

As soon as these words came out, the upstairs group was moving. The faces of those scholars changed drastically, and the other drinkers couldn't help but show anger. Suddenly, someone stood up and threw a wine glass at the handsome scholar who had just spoken, the handsome scholar was frightened, he couldn't dodge, and was hit in the forehead by the wine glass, and with a snap, the wine glass shattered, and the scholar's forehead was also broken, and the blood flowed, and he couldn't help but cover his forehead and scream. The strong man who threw the wine glass scolded loudly: "Traitors of dog days, kill them!" With this shout, the entire restaurant was impulsive, stood up and scolded, and seeing the excitement of the crowd, the scene was about to be out of control. When several scholars saw this scene, their faces turned pale and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do.

The boss rushed up when he heard the news, and when he saw that the scene was about to get out of control, he hurriedly ran to the middle of the crowd, made a quartet, and begged: "Everyone is angry!" Everyone's anger! It's all from the neighborhood, don't hurt the harmony! ”

A bare-chested strong man slapped the table and yelled, "Fuck who is a neighbor with these gray grandsons!" At this scolding, all the drinkers shouted and scolded again, and some of them looked like they were about to do it.

Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, the boss hurriedly glanced at the scholars, meaning to tell them to leave quickly. When a few scholars saw the boss's eyes, they reacted, and when they saw that they were afraid that they would not be able to escape from the pain of flesh and skin, they hurriedly hugged their heads and ran away in the shouting and scolding of everyone.

The strong man scolded: "These gray grandsons are really a fucking group of livestock!" Good people, read and read to become brutes! In the future, if my child goes to school, I will strangle him to death! The drinkers laughed. After scolding for a while, they drank and chatted, and calm returned upstairs.

Several scholars rushed out of the tavern in embarrassment, and the handsome scholar at the head scolded angrily: "These hateful fools don't understand anything, and they won't know what is going on when they die in the future!" Several scholars next to him echoed one after another, and they were all very angry. This handsome scholar, in the entire Bianliang and even Henan region, is a very famous talent, named Bai Mu, living in Bianliang, when the Khitans went south, fled to the south of the Yangtze River, half a year ago the family returned to Bianliang, Yanyun officials after determining their identity, the property that originally belonged to them was returned to them, but this family did not seem to be grateful at all, but because of Yanyun's various policies that were not conducive to the Shi clan and were very hostile to Yang Peng and the military officials under his command.

Later that day, Bai Mu came to the merchant and met Shang Shiheng. Shang Shiheng saw that Bai Mu's forehead was red and swollen and had a bloody scab, he couldn't help but be stunned, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Bai Gongzi's forehead?" Bai Mu sighed and said angrily: "It's not for those fools to fight!" Shang Shiheng was surprised, and Bai Mu told what happened in the tavern during the day. Shang Shiheng frowned and said angrily: "It's really upside down!" How dare these lowly grass people be so rude to scholars! If it is under the rule of the Holy Son of Heaven, everyone will be punished with heavy punishment! Bai Mu said thoughtfully: "Who said it wasn't! Then he sighed and said helplessly: "It's a pity that it's now under the rule of the tyrant of King Yan, we really don't know when we'll be able to get out!" ”

Shang Shiheng's eyes suddenly showed an unfathomable and profound expression, and he lowered his voice and said, "Bai Gongzi, maybe this day is not far away!" ”

Bai Mu had already participated in Shang Shiheng's rebellion, and when he heard this, he thought that Shang Shiheng was going to take advantage of the current opportunity to start an incident, so he couldn't help but get excited, and said: "I heard that the first army originally stationed in Tianjing New Town has rushed to Yanjing, and now not only Tianjing New Town, but even the entire Hebei does not have a regular army, only the military army, those military government troops are not worth mentioning, now is a good time to hold high the banner of righteousness!" ”

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