At this moment, a dusty herald rushed over, and the attention of Yang Peng and the others immediately focused on him. The herald ran to Yang Peng, knelt down on one knee, and said: "King Qiyu, King Yan, his subordinates are from Ningxia, and they are specially sent to General Yang Yanzhao, and there is an urgent military situation!" As he spoke, he untied the bamboo tube on his back and presented it with both hands.

Ye Yu Guanyin stepped forward to take the bamboo tube and check that the mud seal was intact, so he picked up the mud seal, poured out a letter, saw the red mark on the envelope, handed the letter to Yang Peng, and said: "It's a red military situation." ”

Yang Peng took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the stationery, and unfolded it to look at it. Everyone looked at him, and everyone felt a little uneasy.

Yang Peng finished reading the letter, and said with a calm expression: "It is Yang Yanzhao's handwritten letter, he said that the 150,000 army of Tubo and the 80,000 army of Western Liao attacked the Hexi Corridor at the same time. Everyone was shocked when they heard the news suddenly, but when they saw Yang Peng's calm appearance, the shock quickly subsided, and they only felt that King Yan must have a way to deal with it, and there was nothing to worry about. Yang Peng looked at Yang Jiumei, saw her frowning, showing a look of unease and annoyance, knew what she was thinking, and said: "Western Liao is Western Liao, and it has nothing to do with the Khitan people of Yanyun!" Yang Jiumei, don't think nonsense! Yang Jiumei sighed. Ya Yu Guanyin said: "We are all Yanyun people now, and it doesn't matter what our identity was before, now it doesn't matter!" Yang Jiumei glanced at her gratefully.

Yang Peng walked to the railing of the city gate tower, looked at the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains outside the city, and said mockingly: "All the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods have been singled out!" ”……

In the big tent of the Khitan army, Ye Hu Cheng was pacing back and forth anxiously, he was irritable, but now he had to wait, it was really difficult for him. The generals looked at Yeyu Tiger City, and they were all in an impatient mood, and the atmosphere of the whole big tent was a little breathless.

Ye Hu Cheng stopped, frowned, and said, "What's the matter, it's been so long, and the news of the Japanese hasn't come yet?" "I think there will be results soon!" As soon as the words fell, the sound of hurried footsteps outside the big tent came, and everyone couldn't help but feel moved, and they all looked at the door of the big tent. The curtain snapped open, and a guard rushed in with a dusty officer. The guard knelt down and said, "King, there is an urgent military situation!" The dusty officer immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Meet the king!" ”

Yelu Hucheng took a step forward and asked urgently, "Have the Japanese people already eliminated the Yanyun Naval Army and crossed the sea?" The officer said: "The subordinate is sent by General Xiao Lou Room...... Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and Ye Hu Cheng asked: "Xiao Lou sent you?" What emergency military situation will there be on his side? ”

The officer said: "King Qiyu, not long ago, Yanyun's army suddenly left Datong Mansion and broke Hongzhou and Ulzhou, and now it is confronting the army led by General Xiao Lou in Broken Cloud Ridge, and the situation is very critical!" ”

The crowd was shocked and incredulous. Barron exclaimed angrily, "This is impossible! How could Yan Yunjun come out of Datong Mansion to attack us? Xiao Liduo frowned and said, "Yes, Yanyun is short of grain and grass, how can he send another army to attack us?" It's just so weird! The generals talked a lot, but they didn't believe it was true. Ye Hu Cheng glanced at the generals and asked, "You mean, Xiao Lou lied about the military situation?" The generals immediately ceased their discussion, looked at each other, and were speechless. Although they didn't believe that this was true, they also didn't believe that General Xiao Lou would lie about the military situation, which was even more incredible.

Ye Hu Cheng asked the officer, "How many people did the Yan Yun Army dispatch, and who is the leader of the army?" "Back to the king, the Yan Yun army has dispatched no less than 200,000 troops, all of them are soldiers of the directly subordinate legions, and the main general will be Cao Jun, the deputy general under the direct legions!" Everyone couldn't help but be worried.

Han Chang frowned and said, "The first legion of Yanyun, the sixth and seventh legions are very strange, and now there are 200,000 troops out of Datong Mansion to attack Fengshengzhou!" It seems that there is only one explanation, and that is that Yanyun has solved the problem of grain and grass! Everyone nodded their heads, feeling that what Han Chang said was very reasonable. Barron said angrily: "How did they solve the problem of grain and grass?" Could it be a trick? ”

Han Chang said: "I can't think of any way for a while, but since they can mobilize troops on a large scale, it can only be that they have solved the problem of grain and grass!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng said: "There should be nothing to doubt about this matter now, as for how it was resolved, it doesn't matter now!" Damn, Lao Tzu was originally going to wait for good news, but he waited for this bullshit news! He couldn't help but worry in his heart, and frowned: "The soldiers and horses in Xiao Lou's hands are only about 100,000, and Hongzhou and Ulzhou have been lost, how can he resist the onslaught of the 200,000 Yanyun army?" ”

The generals couldn't help but be worried. Han Chang said worriedly: "Great King, if Fengsheng Prefecture and Khan Prefecture are lost, not only will our flank and rear be completely exposed to the enemy army, but the gateway to the west of Zhongjing Road will be wide open, and the situation will be reversed in an instant!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng thought for a moment, waved his hand, and said, "Not yet, as long as the Japanese people destroy the Yan Yun Water Army across the sea as soon as possible, even if the Yan Yun Army breaks through the Fengsheng Prefecture and the Khan Prefecture, it will not be a big deal!" Besides, although the soldiers and horses in Xiao Lou's hands are insufficient, but they have the natural danger of Broken Cloud Ridge to rely on, Yan Yunjun wants to eliminate Xiao Lou's department, and it is impossible to do it in a short time! Everyone felt that what Ye Hu Cheng said was extremely true, and the worry in their hearts couldn't help but subside a lot.

Yelu Hucheng glanced at everyone and said categorically: "The original plan remains unchanged, and the army continues to wait!" The generals agreed in unison. Yelu Hucheng turned his head to look at the officer and asked, "Have you summoned Zhongjing?" The officer hurriedly replied: "At the same time that the villain came to report to the king, another herald went to Zhongjing to report the news, and he should have arrived in Zhongjing at this moment." ”

Ye Yu Hucheng nodded and said, "The Empress Dowager received an urgent report, and she will definitely mobilize troops and horses to support Xiao Lou's room, so you don't have to worry too much about that direction!" When everyone heard this, they felt that what Ye Hu Cheng said was very reasonable, and they were even more relieved.

The gaze turned to the city of Yanjing. Yang Peng read the report he had just sent, stood up, and slowly paced. Everyone's eyes moved with his movements, and there was a faint look of worry on Yari Guanyin's face.

Yang Peng suddenly stopped and said, "I have to rush to Fengshengzhou!" Everyone was surprised, only Ya Yu Guanyin made an expectation, and said: "I know that you will definitely not stay in Yanjing!" But that's fine! After listening to Ye Yu Guanyin's words, everyone didn't understand at first, but they soon understood, and they all felt that it was better for Yang Peng to leave Yanjing. Yanjing is now surrounded by the Khitan Army, although the Khitans have suspended their attack, but everyone knows that when the Khitans attack again, it will be unstoppable! King Yan is related to the future and fate of the entire Yan Yun, and he really can't stay in such a dangerous place! Therefore, it is better for King Yan to leave.

Yang Peng looked at Ya Yu Guanyin, and Ye Yu Guanyin immediately understood what he meant, and his eyes showed a look of difficulty in confidence. Yang Peng said to everyone: "I appoint Ye Yu Guanyin as the general manager of the Yanjing march, in charge of the military affairs of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and all the soldiers of the sixteen states of Yanyun obey the orders of Ye Yu Guanyin!" Everyone glanced at Ya Yu Guanyin, agreed together, and then bowed to Ye Yu Guanyin together: "I have seen the chief manager!" ”

Ye Yu Guanyin looked at Yang Peng with emotion, and said excitedly: "Until this moment, I didn't know that eldest brother you love me wholeheartedly!" Big brother, don't worry, the little sister vows to live and die with Yanjing, as long as the little sister still has a breath, no one will want to get involved in Yanjing! Yang Peng held the slender hand of Ye Yu Guanyin, and the two looked at each other affectionately. When the others saw such a scene, they were envious, and they only felt that their pestle was too inappropriate to be here!

Yang Peng told Ye Yu Guanyin: "Guanyin, if you can do something, don't force it!" If Yanjing is indeed undefendable, abandon Yanjing, retreat south, and join Xiang Danian and them. Ya Yu Guanyin nodded and said, "I wrote it down." Yang Peng thought for a while, and said: "If our naval army is really defeated, we must decisively give up Yanjing, go south to join Xiang Danian and them, and then retreat to Zhending Mansion!" Ya Yu Guanyin nodded, his face thoughtful.

That night, the cavalry patrolling in the northwest direction of Yanjing City marched in the wilderness as usual. This group of cavalry has nearly 1,000 people, and their task is to discover the breakthrough of the Yanyun army or the Yanyun army coming from outside in time, so as to send an alarm to the army in time. There are more than a dozen Khitan patrol cavalry like this around Yanjing, and in such a situation, it is not difficult for one or two heralds or messengers to get in and out, but it is impossible for the army to enter and exit silently!

The patrol walked through the wilderness, and in the quiet of the night heard only the sound of horses' hooves and the cries of night owls in the distant mountains.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled from behind the low hill on the left, far and near, and a moment later a thunderous sound was heard. The cavalry stopped, and one of the soldiers muttered, "It must be some other patrol that got lost and came to us!" "Everybody thinks the same way.

After a while, a large group of cavalry suddenly appeared on the hill and rolled over the hill. In the night, I couldn't see it really, only to see countless majestic black shadows rushing in. The captain was shocked and exclaimed, "No! We don't have such a majestic and tall war horse, it's Yanyun Army! Get ready for battle! The cavalry hurriedly turned their horses' heads and drew their scimitars to meet them.

At this moment, the dense sound of breaking the sky came, and before the Khitan soldiers could react, they were shot on their backs, and the sound of people shouting and neighing became one, and the scene was chaotic. In the blink of an eye, the terrible war cavalry rushed up, the horse lance assassinated, the war knife was slashed, the Khitan soldiers were killed and the corpses were bloody, and the Yanyun war cavalry broke the Khitan army patrol in one fell swoop and marched towards the northwest.

Han Chang hurriedly came to the big tent, and at this time, Ye Yu Tiger City had not rested, and was standing in front of the sand table looking at the sand table in a daze, his brows furrowed tightly. Han Chang stepped forward and reported: "Great King, I just received an urgent report from the alert cavalry team in the northwest direction, not long ago, the Yanyun Xuanjia Army suddenly broke through our encirclement network and galloped away in the northwest direction!" ”

Ye Hu Cheng frowned, his eyes immediately fell to the northwest direction of Yanjing, and then he looked at Juyong Pass, a hundred miles northwest of Yanjing, and frowned: "They must be going to support the Yanyun army attacking Fengsheng Prefecture!" "Juyong Pass, is a very important pass between Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures and Jin State, the Liao army went south to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, like a bamboo, but did not attack Juyong Pass, because Juyong Pass has 10,000 defenders of Yanyun, and the entire defense system of Juyong Pass has been continuously strengthened and improved by Yanyun in recent years, it is very solid, and it has not been damaged by the previous earth movement, it is not easy to break through this Xiongguan dangerous pass; As for the 10,000 Yanyun troops on the Juyong Pass, Yeyu Hucheng has already arranged more than 10,000 soldiers to ride in Changping County under the Juyong Pass, one to monitor, and the other is to take the opportunity to seize the pass once it is found that the Yanyun army in the Juyong Pass has left the pass.

Ye Hu Cheng asked Han Chang, "Is there only the Xuanjia Army?" Han Chang said: "There are only two thousand Xuanjia Army!" By the way, there is another situation, not only is the Xuanjia general Zhanjin who leads the two thousand Xuanjia troops, but there is also a person, according to the soldiers of the patrol, very similar to Yang Peng! ”

Ye Hu Cheng was startled, paced back and forth, and frowned: "Yang Peng left Yanjing and went to Fengshengzhou!?" It's not good, he wants to attack Xiao Lou's room from the flank! Han Chang's heart sank, and he said urgently: "Although the Xuanjia Army is not many in number, they are all extremely brave and extremely well-equipped!" If General Xiao Lou is defenseless and is attacked from behind by them, it is very likely to cause chaos!! ”

Ye Hu Cheng immediately said to Han Chang: "Hurry up and send someone, ride the best horse, and rush to Broken Cloud Ridge to warn Xiao Lou's room!" Han Chang promised and ran down. Yelu Tiger City paced back and forth, his heart restless.

At the same time, the Empress Dowager Wang Jun in the palace of the Liao Kingdom also looked anxious and annoyed, and shouted at the dusty officer in front of him and asked: "Is there a mistake in Xiao Lou's room, the Yanyun army is short of food and grass, how can it be possible to gather another 200,000 troops?" The officer hurriedly said: "It's really 200,000 enemy troops!" If it weren't for the huge enemy army, Hongzhou and Ulzhou would not have been captured in an instant! ”

Wang Jun glanced at the ministers and said angrily: "Didn't you say that Yanyun was short of grain and grass? How did you first mobilize 200,000 troops, and now you have mobilized 200,000 troops? The ministers looked at each other and hung their heads.

Wang Jun snorted and said, "I talked about it one by one before, why are they all dumb now?" ”

The heads of the ministers hung lower. Zhang Chang came out and saluted, "Presumably Yan Yun has found a solution to the problem!" Queen Mother, this is not the time to pursue this matter, you should quickly send reinforcements to support General Xiao Lou! If General Xiao Lou is defeated, the consequences will be serious! At that time, not only was the flank and rear of Yelu Tiger City completely exposed in front of Yan Yunjun, but our Zhongjing Road also lost the Ping Domain in the west! Whether the Yan Yun army attacks Zhongjing or the side of Yeyu Tiger City, we will all suffer heavy losses! ”

Wang Jun's heart sank, and all the ministers echoed it. Wang Jun thought for a while and said, "Ling Da Lan led 80,000 Mongolian troops to support Xiao Lou's room, and Cao Jun's troops must not be allowed to take another step!" Then he walked to the bookcase, took out an arrow, and beckoned to a eunuch beside him, who hurriedly stepped forward and bent down, looking extremely humble and respectful. The king handed him the arrows and commanded, "Immediately pass my order to Da Lao!" The eunuch took the arrow in both hands, bowed and retreated.

Wang Jun said to the privy envoy Xiao Hong: "The Privy Council immediately ordered Ye Yu Hucheng to deal with the Yan Yun army in the sixteen states of Yanyun as soon as possible!" Xiao Hong promised and ran down. Wang Jun returned to his seat and sat down, frowned, and said worriedly: "I also said that I am nine out of ten, but I didn't expect so many unexpected things to happen!" ”

Zhang Chang said: "Niangniang don't worry. Although some things were unexpected, but on the whole, our army still has a big advantage, in addition, I just received news today that the Japanese are about to increase their troops to Yanyun, and it will be more difficult for Yanyun at that time, and our attack will be smoother! Today's Yanyun is just a return to the light, I believe that it won't be long before Niangniang will hear the good news of Yanyun's collapse! The ministers chimed in. Wang Jun's mood immediately improved, and he smiled: "You are right! Yan Yun is just dying and struggling now! Hmph, what a fool from time to time with destiny! ”

The battlefield immediately said: "Niang Niang is carried by heaven and is destined to lead the Great Liao Kingdom to dominate the world!" Then he had an idea and bowed: "Weichen thinks that since Niangniang is a heroine among women who has never been seen in the past, she should follow Wu Zetian and be crowned as the queen of heaven!" Only in this way can we show the benevolence and virtue of the mother! ”

Zhang Chang's words touched one of Wang Jun's thoughts, and he couldn't help but be happy. Seeing Wang Jun's happy expression, the other ministers hurriedly asked Wang Jun to be crowned as the queen of heaven. Although Wang Jun was very happy in his heart, he didn't agree immediately, but said hypocritically: "I still have to think about this matter!" "Confucianism's 'three lets', the idea of a hypocrite, which reminds me of the so-called 'modesty', isn't this a hypocrisy, one is one, two is two, pretending to be a fart garlic!

Wang Jun said, "Everyone, go down and rest!" ”

Everyone bowed to Wang Jun and retreated, but Wang Jun's younger brother Wang Yue did not move.

After all the ministers left, Wang Yue said very unhappily: "Sister, you are becoming more and more like the queen mother of Liao, and more and more unlike our princess of Goryeo!" ”

Seeing Wang Yue's attitude, Wang Jun was a little displeased, and frowned: "This palace was originally the queen mother of the Great Liao Kingdom, what is called like or not!" ”

Wang Yue asked excitedly; "Sister, aren't you going to drive out the Japanese people and restore Goryeo?"

Wang Jun said: "Who said that! However, this kind of thing can't be rushed, and now it's time to use the Japanese people to defeat Yan Yun! After defeating Yan Yun, concentrate on dealing with the Japanese people! Wang Yue asked puzzledly, "Why do you want to do this?" Wang Jun glanced at Wang Yue, sighed, and said, "Little brother, you are also a king, why can't you even see such a simple truth?" What are the widows? Although the strength is not weak, the confrontation between the two major factions in China will cause drastic changes sooner or later! Yan Yun is different, not only Yan Yun army can fight bravely, but also its internal reform effect is very obvious, in such a short period of time, the Central Plains has stood up from the ruins of the war, not only restored to the level of Song Taizu, Song Taizong Second Emperor period, and many aspects are still excessive! If we don't take advantage of the moment to defeat Yan Yun, all of us will die in the future and have no place to be buried! ”

Wang Yue frowned and nodded.

Wang Jun stood up and said with a smile: "As long as Yan Yun is eliminated, isn't it easy to solve the Japanese people?" Wang Yue bowed in admiration and said: "Sister's wisdom is as deep as the sea, and the younger brother is really far behind the younger sister!" Then he said: "The younger brother will not disturb my sister's rest, and I will retire." Wang Jun nodded. Wang Yue turned and left. Wang Jun looked at Wang Yue's back, an inexplicable light appeared in his eyes, and he secretly said in his heart: "Little brother, people like you don't understand my sister's ambitions at all!" Since God has given me such an opportunity, then I will create an empire of great glory! And I'm the second female emperor! ’

Yang Peng led the Zhanjin State and the Xuanjia Army out of Juyongguan, entered the territory of the Liao State, and rushed straight towards the Broken Cloud Ridge without entering any county or town.

A day later, Yang Peng and more than 2,000 other horsemen arrived outside the city of Guidezhou, not far southeast of Broken Cloud Ridge. Raise your eyes and look into the distance, only to see a big mountain in the distance, towering into the clouds, clouds and mist drifting on the mountainside, no wonder it is called Broken Cloud Ridge. There is a river at the foot of the mountain, and a large city sits on the river's bank, and there is the state of Guide.

Two sentry riders rushed to Yang Peng, reined in their horses, and one of them hugged his fists and said: "King Qiyan, the four gates of Dezhou are wide open, and there are business travelers coming in and out, presumably the Khitans don't know that we have arrived!" Zhan Jinguo became excited and said to Chen Xiao: "Big brother, let's go in!" The enemy is defenseless and will surely take the city in one fell swoop! ”

Yang Peng waved his hand, looked up at the Broken Cloud Ridge in the distance, and said, "It's nothing important to return to Dezhou, the most important thing at the moment is to eliminate the army of Xiao Lou's room!" "I glanced back at the Xuanjia army, and saw that the people were fine, but the mounts were already showing fatigue, although these Yanwang horses had extraordinary foot strength and strong endurance, but after a long march for a day and a night, they were inevitably a little tired!

Yang Peng said: "Raise the banner of the Khitan army." More than a dozen Xuanjia soldiers were about to raise the banner of the Jin Army that had been prepared in advance. Yang Peng said to the two sentinels: "You two lead the way, and we will bypass and return to Dezhou." The two sentinels answered the promise, and immediately turned their horses, and ran forward, and the people followed.

A Khitan soldier on the city wall saw a cavalry rushing from the southeast to the northwest from a distance, was taken aback, and hurriedly patted the shoulder of his companion next to him, pointed to the distance and said urgently: "Look, there are cavalry!" The companion looked in the direction of his finger, and sure enough, he saw a group of cavalry, and then smiled: "Nervous fart, didn't you see that it was our flag?" The Khitan soldier who spoke first hurriedly took a closer look, and this time he saw it clearly, and sure enough, it was his own flag, he laughed, and said strangely: "How can there be cavalry running here?" The companion said angrily: "That's all the business of the general's officer, it's our business!" ”

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