Chapter 524, the Wako Determination

Zhou Rong said angrily: "Are you telling me a story?" How can there be such a thing in the world? Zhao Jue hurriedly said: "Everything that my subordinates say is true, and I will never dare to talk nonsense!" Although those people are caravan guards, their combat power is so strong that the general has never seen it before! The last general once fought with the Khitans, and the Khitans' combat strength can be described as very strong, but the people that the last general encountered were ten times more terrifying than the Khitans, which can really be said to be extremely brave! ”

Zhou Rong saw him talking like this, he didn't expect it to be nonsense, but he still couldn't believe it in his heart, and suddenly thought that these people were Anqian's people, and couldn't help but be shocked, and muttered anxiously: "It's not good, it's not good!" An Bing's subordinates have such a force, but it is very bad for us! He didn't think that the people in Zhao Jue's mouth were An Qian's subordinates, in his mind, An Qian, a young woman in her twenties, was just a deputy of the An Family Chamber of Commerce, no matter how capable she was, it was impossible to train such a force, and nine times out of ten it was a strange soldier secretly cultivated by An Bing, which was used against herself. However, it is also difficult to accept that An Bing can cultivate such a terrifying force, but now I am afraid that there is no other reasonable explanation besides this explanation.

Zhao Jue hurriedly said: "My lord, we must take advantage of the fact that they have not yet gained a firm foothold to quickly take back the Sword Pavilion, otherwise it will be difficult to take it back!" Zhou Rong showed hesitation on his face, frowned, and said: "We are at fault in this matter first, if we openly send troops, we will be even more untenable in terms of reason." Now the responsibility can also be shifted to Chen Tang and others. ”

Zhao Jue said: "My lord, with all due respect, now that the imperial court is too busy to take care of itself, the emperor is busy fighting for power with the imperial uncle, and they all want to win as much support as possible now, where will they manage the discord and struggle between their subordinates!" In the future, if the lord controls the whole of Sichuan, the emperor is too late to convince the lord, how can he come to sanction the lord without knowing the times! ”

Zhou Rong nodded, glanced at Zhao Jue, and said, "You are right. Zhao Jue was very pleased to see that Zhou Rong agreed with his point of view, and hurriedly said: "Then please ask your lord to give the order to send troops, if the last general can't recapture the Sword Pavilion, be willing to be a military lawyer!" ”

Zhou Rong asked, "How many people do you need to recapture the Sword Pavilion?" Zhao Jue thought for a while and said, "Twenty thousand horses are enough!" ”

Zhou Rong frowned, shook his head and said, "No! I don't have so many soldiers for you! Zhao Jue was puzzled and said, "Isn't there an army of 30,000 in the military camp in Chengdu?" Transferring 20,000 soldiers and horses shouldn't be a problem! Zhou Rong said angrily: "I have an army of 30,000, and An Bing also has it!" The reason why we can maintain a state of peace is that both sides still have some scruples and have not completely torn their faces, and the other more important reason is that the two sides have equal forces and are not sure of victory. But if my main force is transferred to the Sword Pavilion, it will be clear that I will tear my face with him, and there will be no room for reinstatement between the two sides, and what is even worse is that if my 20,000 soldiers and horses are transferred, then An Bing's strength will be three times that of mine, and if he does it, we will encounter a catastrophe! Zhao Jue listened to Zhou Rong's analysis, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhou Rong pondered: "Now that the three envoys of His Majesty, the envoys of Tubo, and the envoys of Yanyun have come, we have more important things to do!" Zhao Jue asked, "Could it be that we don't care about the Sword Pavilion?" Zhou Rong frowned and said, "I can't control it for the time being!" Zhao Jue was very unwilling, but he also knew that the adult was right. Zhou Rong said to Zhao Jue: "You go down and rest." Zhao Jue promised and retreated. Zhou Rong returned to his seat and sat down, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The gaze turned to Bianjing.

A few Japanese people were strolling through the streets, and the one in the lead looked discouraged and annoyed. This leading Japanese was the envoy sent by Taira Kiyomori to the Song Kingdom, Nomura Xingtian. A widow next to him said depressedly: "I originally hoped to persuade the Song people to join forces with us to deal with Yan Yun, but I didn't expect them to fight themselves!" It's infuriating! Nomura Xingtian sighed, stopped, raised his head, looked at the bustling pedestrians in front of him and frowned, "We have failed the trust of Lord Taizheng!" ”

An entourage said: "My lord, I don't think the Song people can count on it, so it's better to go to Liao." ”

Nomura Xingtian shook his head and said: "The Khitans have now made up their minds to recuperate, even if they agree to unite with us, they can't be counted on in a few years!" Besides, the ruling queen mother of the Khitan people is a Goryeo, and she is afraid that in her heart, she will regard us as enemies even more! Then he said to everyone, "There is no need for us to stay here. Go back immediately, report the situation here to Lord Ping Kiyomori, how to choose, naturally the adults decide! ”

Taira Kiyomori had been waiting for news from Nomura Xingtian, and on this day he received a report that Nomura Xingtian had returned from the Song Kingdom and hurried out to meet him. Seeing the dusty Nomura Xingtian, he hurriedly asked, "Nomura-kun, how was the harvest of this trip?" Nomura Koda bowed with a look of shame: "I failed to live up to the trust of my adults and failed to complete my mission!" ”

Ping Qingsheng frowned, "What's the matter?" Could it be that the Song people are not willing to join forces with us to deal with Yan Yun? Don't they know how serious Yan Yun's threat is? Nomura Xingtian said: "The king of Yan took back the common people who had been taken captive by the Khitans from the Khitans, and returned them to the Song Kingdom. But at this time, the Song State already had an emperor. Zhao Heng was unwilling to give up power, and Uncle Huang wanted to take back power, so tension inevitably arose. Some of the generals and ministers supported the emperor, and the other supported the current emperor, and war was about to start between them! In this case, no one paid attention to our proposal! ”

Ping Qingsheng frowned and said, "This is Yan Yun's conspiracy!" Nomura Xingtian nodded and said, "My lord is clear!" Ping Qingsheng paced back and forth in the hall, his brows furrowed, looking very anxious. Nomura Xingtian said: "My lord, this plan to attack Yan Yun can only be canceled!" ”

Ping Qingsheng stopped and said categorically: "No! Nomura Xingtian was taken aback and asked urgently, "Do you want to attack the Central Plains alone?" Ping Qingsheng returned to the top and sat down, glanced at Nomura Xingtian, and said, "Yan Yun set up such a plan, which means that they are going to make a move against the Song Kingdom. Since Yan Yun is going to make a move against Song Guo, we have a chance! ”

Nomura Xingtian frowned and said, "My lord is right! However, the Yanyun army is extremely powerful, even if the main force is pinned down in the south, I am afraid, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to achieve our goal! Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the goal can be achieved, but if the Yan Yun army immediately gives up the southern expedition after learning about our invasion, and the main force turns back to deal with us, at that time we have already gone deep into the interior, I am afraid that it will be too late to turn in, and the result is really unimaginable! ”

Taira Kiyomori was furious and shouted, "Is this what the samurai of the Yamato nation should say?" Nomura Xingtian hurriedly lowered his head, but his heart was worried. Ping Qingsheng said rudely: "I've already decided, don't say it again!" Nomura Xingtian sighed, thinking that Taira Kiyomori's decision was very inappropriate, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

Soon after, mobilization orders were received from all parts of the Wa Kingdom, and one army after another marched to Kyushu Island. Fujiwara Shimitsu, Fujiwara Narikin, and Yuhito get together in secret. Fujiwara Narita said worriedly: "Taira Kiyomori has gathered an army of 700,000 and is ready to conquer Yanyun again!" Fujiwara Shimitsu frowned and said, "For his own personal vendetta, he will ruin the great affairs of our Yamato nation!" As a lesson from the past, the combat power of the Yanyun army is too strong, far above our army, and the 700,000 army will not be sure of victory against the opponent's 200,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention that the Yanyun army has millions of people! And the army of Ping Qingsheng is fighting in the place of Yanyun, everything is not good for us, this battle, I can't see any hope of victory at all! Fujiwara sighed.

Yong Ren said: "I just received a message from Shimazu Shigehiro, and he received an order from Taira Kiyomori to lead all the naval forces to attack and cooperate with the army to fight!" What do you think about this? ”

Fujiwara Shiguang frowned and said, "If you don't obey the order, you will definitely immediately attract the wrath of Taira Kiyomori!" Fujiwara nodded and said, "You can't offend Taira Kiyomori at this time!" Seeing that the two most important subordinates were saying this, Yonghito nodded and said, "You think the same as me, and I will immediately send someone to give instructions to Shimazu Shigeo!" ”

Fujiwara Shimitsu glanced up at Yongren and said, "Prince, we should be ready, this is a great opportunity!" Yongren sighed and said, "This matter really makes me in a dilemma!" I don't know if I want them to win or if I want them to lose! Victory is certainly the glory of the Yamato nation, but only if they fail, we have a chance! ”

Fujiwara Narita said: "Taira Kiyomori is just a rebellious minister and thief, and his victory will only be harmful to the orthodoxy and future of the Yamato nation!" Therefore he deserves to fail! Fujiwara Shimitsu said: "Success and failure, let's not think about it, just do what needs to be done, and look at the will of Amaterasu!" Yongren nodded and said to the two: "Don't move for the time being, wait for Taira Kiyomori to lead the army to leave before taking action!" The two of them snorted.

His gaze turned back to the Sword Pavilion. Yang Peng had been in the Sword Pavilion for a few days, the situation was very calm, the people in the city were originally very worried, but after a few days, the situation was still very calm, and the original worries were unconsciously put down. On this morning, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves on the plank road under the mountain, and then more than a dozen knights appeared in Yang Peng's field of vision. Yang Peng squinted his eyes and looked at it, and then his eyes lit up, it turned out that it was Yan Ji and more than a dozen of his subordinates who had arrived in Chengdu in advance.

Yan Ji and his party rushed into the city gate, and then Yan Ji appeared in front of Yang Peng. Dressed in a black suit, with a graceful body, his face is full of dust, but it is difficult to hide his stunning beauty.

"Childe!" Yan Ji hugged her fists. Yang Peng smiled: "It's hard work." Yan Ji's expression moved slightly, and said, "When my subordinates heard that Gongzi was in the Sword Pavilion, they immediately rushed to meet him!" Yang Peng asked, "What is the situation in Chengdu now?" Yan Ji said: "The situation is very complicated and very delicate! The relationship between the pacification envoy and the Xuanfu envoy was tense, while the envoy of Zhao Heng and the envoy of Tubo were lobbying both sides, hoping that they would join their side! ”

Yang Peng said in surprise: "The Tubo people also joined in?" Yan Ji nodded and said, "The conditions offered by the Tibetan envoy to both sides can be described as very generous, promising that as long as he surrenders to the past, he will not only be canonized as a general, but also given the title of marquis!" Yang Peng sneered: "I'm afraid that An Bing and Zhou Rong won't buy it!" Yan Ji said: "Both sides are indeed relatively cold to the recruitment of Tubo people!" However, the Tubo people are not completely without opportunities, if the two have no better way out or are forced to do so, they will surely take refuge in the Tubo people! ”

Yang Peng nodded and said, "It's been a while since you arrived in Sichuan, how are the things I explained going?" ”

Yan Ji took out a stack of rice paper from her arms and handed it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng took it and smelled a fragrant fragrance coming to his nose, and his heart couldn't help but flutter. Unfolding the rice paper, it was found that it was a detailed Sichuan defense map, which briefly drew the mountains and rivers of Sichuan, and the stationing of more than 100,000 forbidden troops and a large number of local troops in Sichuan. According to this map, 60,000 of the forbidden troops in Sichuan were in Chengdu, and the other 40,000 were divided into many branches and stationed on the choke point such as the Sword Pavilion, while the local troops were stationed in various towns, which varied according to the size of the towns.

Yang Peng praised: "Well done, this defense map is very detailed!" Very useful for us! Yan Ji asked, "What else does Childe command?" ”

Yang Peng handed over the defense map to the secret guard next to him to put it away, looked south, and saw all the gun-like mountains and the plank road that meandered and loomed in the clouds and mist halfway up the mountainside, and muttered: "I think I should go to Chengdu!" Thinking of something, he asked Yan Ji: "Do Zhou Rong and An Bing have any reactions to my occupation of the Sword Gate?" Yan Ji shook her head and said, "There is no reaction." There was no sign of movement of the armies of either country. ”

Zhao Xiang'er said strangely: "It's really a strange thing, why didn't the two families react?" Yang Peng smiled: "There is no reaction, that's right." Yan Ji and Zhao Xiang'er didn't understand, but they didn't say anything to ask, for them, they didn't need to know so much, they just needed to do what King Yan explained.

"Master, someone's coming!" A secret guard shouted as he pointed to the boardwalk down the mountain. Everyone looked down the mountain, and saw more than a dozen horsemen running along the plank road towards this side. Wang Kai on the side said: "It's our people!" Yang Peng also saw clearly that the dozen or so knights were led by An Qian, and the others were the secret guards he had sent to protect An Qian before. Yang Peng smiled: "We can know something more about the internal situation of An Bing!" ”

Not long after, Anqian came to Yang Peng and suddenly saw Yan Ji standing behind Yang Peng. was stunned for a moment, and then there was a very hostile light in his eyes, and this degree of hostility seemed to be more than that of Luo Yanran! Because Yan Ji is so beautiful and seductive, in terms of appearance and figure alone, Anqian is not as good as Yan Ji, and this is not the most charming thing about Yan Ji, the most seductive thing is her natural and charming temperament, don't look at her cold appearance, but the charming temperament she exudes makes Anqian, who is also a woman, can't help but be excited, you can imagine how attractive she is to men! A word popped up in Anqian's mind, 'Daji'! Daji, maybe this is the only word that can describe Yan Ji, but even if it is Daji, I am afraid that it can't compare to her iceberg-like temperament, Daji is just tempted with her exposed body and revealing expression, but Yan Ji is using her soul!

Anqian came back to her senses and asked angrily, "Who is this woman?" The tone was full of vinegar. Yang Peng said: "She is my subordinate!" Anqian was very depressed, she didn't understand, why are there so many fox spirits around Brother Yang? Yang Peng asked, "Did Miss An inform Xuanfu of our situation?" ”

An Qian nodded, thinking of her uncle's words that Brother Yang was a secret envoy of the Liao State, she couldn't help but glance at Yang Peng, and said, "Uncle said that he can't send troops here, and he also said that the pacification envoy can't send troops, so I don't have to worry!" Yang Peng nodded and said, "This is expected!" ”

Anqian said: "We are not in danger, we can go to Chengdu." Yang Peng asked: "I heard that the situation in Chengdu is very good?" Anqian nodded, "The emperor's envoys, as well as the envoys of the Tubo and Yanyun, are all lobbying my uncle and the envoy of the suppression. The relationship between my uncle and the pacification envoy was strained, but both sides were restrained. Yang Peng asked, "Have the Xuanfu envoys and the Zhenfu envoys decided who to defect to?" ”

Anqian said secretly: "You are so concerned about this matter, it seems that what my uncle said is right, you must be a secret envoy sent by the Liao State!" Then I thought that the person I liked was actually from Liao, and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed: Do I really want to go back to Liao with him in the future?

Yang Peng saw that Anqian didn't answer his question, and he was distracted, so he called her. An Qian suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly asked Yang Pengdao; "Big brother, what did you say?" Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Why are you so obsessed with thinking about things?" Anqian blushed, shook her head and said, "No, it's nothing." Yang Peng asked the question just now, and An Qian shook her head and frowned: "Uncle hasn't decided yet!" I heard that the pacification envoy has not decided either! Yang Peng showed a thoughtful look. Raising his head, he asked, "Did your uncle say what to do with the Sword Pavilion?" Ancy shook her head. Yang Peng said: "In that case, I will leave my people to guard the Sword Pavilion!" Ancy didn't care and nodded.

Later that day, Yang Peng called Yan Ji, Wang Kai, and Zhao Xiang'er into his room and said, "I have decided to go to Chengdu early tomorrow morning." Wang Kai, I will leave the matter here to you, I will leave you half of the secret guards, plus the 1,000 soldiers and the civilian army in the city, it should be able to deal with any situation. You have to be careful. After I left, the Sword Pavilion continued to be closed. Wang Kai said worriedly: "My subordinates don't protect my master, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" Yang Peng said: "Don't worry, aren't there still half of the secret guards by my side?" Besides, there is also Miss Yan Ji's strength, which is enough to deal with any situation! ”

Yan Ji said: "If the forbidden army in Chengdu discovers the whereabouts of King Yan, with two hundred and fifty secret guards and the forces of the rivers and lakes in my hands, it will be difficult to ensure everything!" Zhao Xiang'er said: "Brother Yang, I think it's better for you not to go to Chengdu!" Wang Kai said: "The two young ladies are right! Master, my subordinates thought it would be better to be stationed here, and at the same time ordered General Huyan Bixian to lead the army to attack! ”

Yang Peng stood up, walked to the window, looked at the sunset scenery outside the window, frowned, and said: "The civil war is painful, and if you can solve it without blood, it's best not to start a war, and if you can fight a small battle, don't fight it big!" I went to Chengdu to solve the problem peacefully! I'm afraid that one messenger is not enough! Turning around, he looked at the three worried people and smiled: "I know it in my heart, you don't have to worry!" ”

Yan Ji snorted and said angrily: "Anyway, as long as you decide something, no one wants you to change your attitude!" ”

Early the next morning, Yang Peng and the others left the Sword Pavilion and headed south, passing through many dangerous cities along the way, and arrived in Chengdu a few days later. Anqian invited Yang Peng to live with her, and Yang Peng agreed. Ancy was very happy and led the people to a huge courtyard in the west of the city. The high door is wide, the blue tile white wall, covers an extremely wide area, among which the pavilions and pavilions are lined up one after another, and the rockery green contrasts with each other. An Qian led everyone into the gate and walked towards the backyard, introducing the origin of this compound as she walked: "Big brother may not guess that this was originally the mansion where Adou lived before he succeeded the Shu Han Emperor, and many things have a history of seven or nine hundred years!" ”

Yang Peng was a fan of the Three Kingdoms, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel very amused, and asked: "This is Adou's mansion, is that the mansion of Guan Yu Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun?" Where is Zhuge Liang's mansion? Anqian smiled and said: "These are all there, and the little sister will tell the eldest brother later!" As she spoke, Ann Qian looked like her eyes were full of affection. Luo Yanran was very angry when she saw her like this, and she felt angry when she saw a wild woman seducing her man.

Anqian led everyone to the backyard, pointed to the rows of wooden buildings hidden in the green not far away, and said: "Only the little sister and a dozen subordinates live here, there are many empty rooms, Brother Yang, you can live as you like!" Yang Peng smiled and said, "It's really troublesome!" Anqian looked at Yang Peng and said affectionately: "The eldest brother can come, the little sister is infinitely happy, and it is not troublesome at all!" Yang Peng smiled.

A large group of people settled in Annsy's courtyard. Anqian said to Yang Peng: "Little sister has to go back to uncle." Yang Peng said: "You go." Anqian glanced at Chen Xiao affectionately and left.

Luo Yanran couldn't help but say: "That woman almost wants to eat the eldest brother!" Yang Peng smiled, held her slender hand, and asked teasingly, "Jealous?" Luo Yanran snorted, "I don't have that much spare time!" He should be jealous! "Then he said;" Big brother, I have to go to the Chamber of Commerce and come back later. Yang Peng nodded, hugged Luo Yanran's slender waist, kissed her lips lightly through the veil, and said softly: "Go and come back quickly." Luo Yanran's heart rippled, hummed softly, and then reluctantly left. Yan Ji walked in, snorted coldly, and mocked: "What a lover!" ”

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