Tu Lou asked excitedly, "You, are you really King Yan?!" Yang Peng smiled and said, "I said it a long time ago." Tu Lou suddenly knelt down and said excitedly: "The villain has admired King Yan for a long time, and he wanted to defect for a long time, but he couldn't find a way, but he didn't expect to see King Yan today!" The villain is really, really ......"

Yang Peng helped Tu Lou up, and when he saw Tu Lou looking at him, his eyes were like a devout believer seeing a god of faith, a rough and brave man was so excited! Yang Peng smiled and asked, "You want to follow me?" Tu Lou nodded vigorously, "King Yan is the great hero of our Han people, not only expelling the Khitans to recover the Central Plains, but also destroying the Western Xia, and the world is unmatched!" The villain has long wanted to serve King Yan! ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "If you follow me, you won't be able to get promoted and make a fortune, but you will often fall into a dangerous situation!" Tu Lou said proudly: "Money and everything is bullshit, the eldest husband can die on the battlefield of competing with foreign races, and die without regrets!" Then he knelt down and bowed: "The villain is willing to serve King Yan, and he will not give up his bones!" Yang Peng picked up Tu Lou, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, I'll take you!" Tu Lou was overjoyed, and bowed again: "The villain meets King Yan!" Then he beckoned his subordinates: "Don't hurry up and meet King Yan!" Everyone reacted, filled their chests with surprise, and bowed one after another: "Meet King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Okay, let's get up." The crowd stood up.

Knock knock ......, and the sound of war drums came from the east bank. Yang Peng looked up and saw that the two imperial armies had already formed a formation, and he was about to fight. Yang Peng hurriedly ran to the hill next to the shore and looked at the opposite bank.

Xuanfu made An Bing see that Qingshuipu was burning and had turned into a sea of fire, and his anger was as turbulent and uncontrollable as the flames, so he immediately ordered the army to line up and prepare to attack. Zhou Rong saw An Bing's army coming, and hurriedly ordered his troops to abandon the attack, form a defensive formation, and wait for the battle.

The two formations were opposite, An Bing came to the front of the army, and shouted angrily: "Zhou Rong, I tolerate you everywhere, you deceive people too much!" Zhou Rong also hit his horse and came to the front of the army, snorted coldly, and said loudly: "An Bing, you don't have to pretend here!" No sinister and vicious person in the world can compare to you, you first attacked the Sword Pavilion under the pretext of sneaking up, and now you are sending people to attack the team I sent to send money and food to the imperial court, you really want to kill them all! It's tolerable, it's unbearable! ”

An Bing was surprised, "What did you say?" I sent someone to attack the team you sent to deliver money and food? Zhou Rong thought that An Bing was pretending to be garlic, and shouted angrily: "The surname is An, you still want to pretend to be garlic until now?" I caught a lot of Qingshui robe brothers, and they all confessed that you sent someone to transport the looted money and food last night! ”

An Bing felt very surprised, seeing that the other party was not like nonsense, he only felt that the relationship was very strange, and immediately said sincerely: "Lord Zhou, I really haven't done this thing!" I guess there's something wrong with that! You think, such a big thing can be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden for a lifetime, if it spreads, I, An Bing, will not be able to explain it to the court! This matter has done more harm than good to me, how could I possibly do such a thing? ”

Zhou Rong saw that he was sincere, and at the same time felt that what he said was very reasonable, and he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart. Seeing that the other party's attitude softened, An Bing raised his voice and said, "I think we both have misunderstandings, so it's better not to be reckless." We'll each collect our troops and go back, and then we'll slowly investigate the matter. Zhou Rong saw that the other party did not pursue his own raid on Qingshuipu when he had the advantage of troops, which showed sincerity, so he wanted to nod and agree.

But no one expected that at this moment, there was a sudden sound of killing behind An Bing, and hundreds of Song troops suddenly rushed out of the mountains and forests and slammed into the rear of An Bing's army. An Bing's army paid attention to Zhou Rong's army in front of him, and he didn't expect that there was an enemy army hidden in the mountains and forests behind him.

An Bing was shocked, thinking that he had fallen for Zhou Rong's trick, and hurriedly ordered the rear team to resist, and then ordered the main force to attack Zhou Rong's army in front. Zhou Rong was amazed when he saw that an army of soldiers and horses suddenly attacked the rear of An Bing's army behind him, stirring up the military formation. Immediately saw An Bing's army resisting the raiding troops rushing up from behind, and waving the army to attack on the other, he was taken aback, and he didn't think about it, and hurriedly ordered the army to prepare for battle.

In an instant, the rain of arrows fired by the armies of both sides covered the sky, and then the tide of soldiers on both sides collided with each other, and the soldiers fought against the generals, killing the flesh and blood and the sun and the moon. The two sides fought fiercely for half an hour, Zhou Rong did not have enough troops, suffered heavy losses, and had fallen into the heavy encirclement of the other party, and was trying his best to resist. An Bing felt that something was wrong from beginning to end, but the matter had come to this point, so he simply killed Zhou Rong.

Seeing that Zhou Rong was about to be unable to support it, Zhou Rong's 10,000 reinforcements arrived from Chengdu Mansion. The morale of the generals below Zhou Rong was greatly boosted and they fought back, while reinforcements launched an attack from the periphery. An Bing hurriedly divided his troops to deal with it, and the battle situation gradually became unfavorable to An Bing. At this moment, An Bing's reinforcements also arrived and immediately went into battle. By dusk, the armies of the two sides had been slaughtered all over the field, and rivers of blood were flowing, but neither side took advantage. The soldiers on both sides were exhausted, and they unanimously withdrew their troops.

The armies of the two sides retreated to Chengdu, each controlling half of the city, and the tension was tense, confronting each other, and the atmosphere was tense to the extreme, and Chengdu was about to become a battlefield.

Yang Peng and his entourage crossed the river and joined Yan Ji. Yang Peng smiled: "You guys did a good job!" Without you, this war probably wouldn't have been fought! Yan Ji and the others were overjoyed when they heard Yang Peng's praise, Yan Ji said: "You don't have to praise us, this is all your strategy, we are just relying on the gourd to draw a scoop!" Then he glanced at Luo Yanran, who was following behind Chen Xiao and wearing a white-clothed Shengxue veil, and said, "Miss Luo!" Luo Yanran returned the salute. Yan Ji noticed Tu Lou who was following Yang Peng, and her face couldn't help but show surprise, Tu Lou was also very surprised when she saw Yan Ji, and her eyes widened and said, "You, you ......"

Yang Peng smiled: "Have you seen it?" Tu Lou's eyes widened and he said in amazement: "Aren't you Miss Yan who negotiated with me before?" Why, why are you the person of King Yan? ”

Yan Ji looked at Yang Peng suspiciously. Yang Peng said with a smile: "Tu Lou and Brother Qing Shui Pao are also Yan Yun's people now." Yan Ji felt incredible, glanced at Tu Lou, and teased: "I thought Boss Tu was unwilling to serve King Yan!" Tu Lou laughed, patted his head, and said, "I knew that Miss represented King Yan, and Tu Mou would have surrendered a long time ago!" "Yan Ji had contact with Tu Lou and tried to persuade Tu Lou to serve Hua Xu, but because Yang Peng was about to enter Shu, for the sake of Yang Peng's safety, Yan Ji did not explain his origin in the contact with Tu Lou.

Yang Peng said: "From now on, Tu Lou is the cabinet leader of 'Huaxu', responsible for commanding the Jianghu forces in Sichuan. Tu Lou was moved, and bowed: "Thank you King Yan for your appreciation, but my subordinates don't want to mix in the rivers and lakes, and my subordinates want to join the Yan Yun Army and serve on the battlefield!" Yang Peng thought of his strong martial arts, and felt that it was indeed a condescension to leave him in the rivers and lakes, and only by putting him on the battlefield could he fully exert his talents! As soon as he thought of this, he nodded and said, "Yes." However, in my Yanyun Army, all positions are awarded according to military merits or competitions, although I am the King of Yan, I can't make an exception, so you can temporarily be one of my personal soldier squad leaders. ”

Tu Lou was overjoyed and bowed, "Thank you King Yan." Yang Peng picked up Tu Lou, patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement, and said, "You temporarily lead your Qing Shui robe brother." Now is the time for our army to seek Sichuan, as long as you make military achievements, I can reward you for your merits! Tu Lou felt that King Yan seemed to attach great importance to himself, and he was both happy and excited, and hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates will do their best to live up to King Yan's expectations!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded.

Yan Ji stepped forward and said, "King Yan, Zhou Rong and An Bing didn't make a result, and now they have returned to Chengdu to confront each other, what should we do next?" Yang Peng thought for a moment and gave instructions to Yan Ji and Tu Lou. The two hugged their fists and agreed, and then each led their own people away. Yan Ji led his subordinates to ambush near Chengdu, and Tu Lou led his men across the river to gather his subordinate Brother Qing Shui Pao. Yang Peng saw that the two of them had gone far, so he also led his subordinates to leave the place, bypassing Chengdu Mansion and rushing towards the northeast.

The Xuanfu envoy and the Zhenfu envoy fought a big fight, and the whole Sichuan was greatly shaken, the people trembled, and the officials were also nervous. The originally lively and prosperous city of Chengdu has lost the hustle and bustle of the past, the streets and alleys are full of slaughter, most of the doors of the shops are closed, the few pedestrians on the streets are also in a hurry, and the beggars who were originally all over the streets and alleys have disappeared.

In the Xuanfu Envoy's Mansion, An Bing was scolding Zhou Rong, and all his cronies were standing below, some of them were scolding, and some of them were worried. Anqian was tired of waiting for her uncle to scold, and said, "Uncle, this matter is really strange! Uncle obviously didn't send someone to attack the convoy sent by Zhou Rong, but why did Zhou Rong say so conclusively that his uncle did it? A general named Cao Kan said angrily: "I think he is just looking for an excuse to hack the adult!" Some chimed in, others whispered.

Anqian nodded and said, "This is an explanation, but there is another explanation," everyone looked at Anqian in confusion. Anqian glanced at everyone and asked, "Haven't you thought that someone might have framed you?" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and then they felt that there was indeed this possibility, but another question came, if someone framed him, then who would it be? On the ground in Sichuan, apart from the two adults of Xuanfu and Zhenfu, who else has the ability to do such a thing?

An Bing frowned and said, "Qian'er is right! What Zhou Rong said doesn't look like it's fake. When the two sides confronted each other during the day today, the situation had eased, but at this moment, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared behind us and launched a surprise attack on us! At that time, I immediately thought it was Zhou Rong's trap, but now that I think about it carefully, I find that this matter is very strange! Those who attacked us from the rear are not like Zhou Rong's people, where do Zhou Rong's people have that kind of combat power! The strangest thing is that after we fought with Zhou Rong, the soldiers and horses that attacked us suddenly disappeared! Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that Zhou Rong and I have fallen for someone else's trick! When everyone heard him say this, they also felt that this was the case, and Cao Kan scolded angrily: "Which bastard is making trouble? ”

An Qian's heart suddenly moved, and she couldn't help but say, "Could it be ......" An Bing hurriedly looked at An Qian, "What did you think of?" Anqian came back to her senses in surprise and hurriedly shook her head; No, nothing! An Bing's brows furrowed, temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart. glanced at everyone, frowned, and said: "Who is making trouble behind the scenes, for the time being, the top priority is how to solve the dispute with Zhou Rong!" Now that the two sides have fought a lot, he won't believe me, and it's hard for me to trust him, and it's probably not easy to reconcile with him! ”

Anqian said: "Uncle, on the one hand, we have to reconcile with him, but on the other hand, we must also be prepared to deal with the unexpected!" An Bingshen thought so, and immediately thought of concentrating all the troops scattered in Sichuan to Chengdu, and at the same time wanted to mobilize the Xiang army, although the Xiang army was poorly equipped and had low combat effectiveness, but the more people there were, the momentum was stronger, and it was also useful!

An Bing instructed his subordinates, and asked An Yuan to find a way to contact Brother Qing Shui Pao, he wanted to ask what happened last night. An Bing arranged the task and let everyone go down, leaving only Anxi.

An Bing got up and walked up to An Qian, squinted his eyes and asked, "Where is the secret envoy of the Liao State who lives with you now?" "An Bing had already thought of Yang Peng and them when he was discussing just now, and there was a matter of seizing the Sword Pavilion, so An Bing easily thought of Yang Peng's head, he felt that in Sichuan, the one who had the ability to rob money and grain and raid his own rear team was the secret envoy of the Liao State! However, there is a question in this, why did the secret envoy of the Liao State do this? What's in it for him? made a mess of Sichuan, and he Liao people couldn't take advantage of it!

Anqian listened to her uncle's question, her heart was in a mess, and she had the intention to hide it for Yang Peng, but she felt that this matter could not be hidden, so it was better to say it honestly, so she said: "Them, they went out of the city during the day yesterday, and they haven't come back yet!" Perhaps, maybe it was delayed by something! ”

An Bing snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid that it will be delayed by the robbery of money and food and the raid on our army!" An Qian was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Brother Yang, he would never do such a thing?" What's in it for him to do this kind of thing? An Bing frowned and muttered, "This is indeed very strange! Why did the Khitan people come to sow discord? I fought with Zhou Rong, can they Khitan people still take advantage of the fishermen? ”

An Qian's heart moved, and she said secretly: "Brother Yang is not a secret envoy of the Liao, he is actually a fierce general of Yanyun, in this case, he has a reason to do this!" Thinking of this, his heart was shocked, "If you say this, Yan Yun's negotiation with his uncle and Zhou Rong is fake, and he is actually already preparing to solve the problem by force!" ’

An Bing saw An Qian's expression was different, and asked angrily, "What are you thinking?" Anqian came back to her senses in shock, and hurriedly said, "My niece is thinking about Brother Yang, he, why did he do this?" The niece is stupid, I really can't figure it out! ”

An Bing frowned and said, "I don't understand it either, it's too unreasonable!" These Khitans are simply inexplicable! Then he looked at Ann Qian and said, "If they contact you again, you must stabilize them first, and at the same time send someone to inform me!" Anqian was confused, and subconsciously agreed.

Leaving the hall, Ancy thought wildly as she walked towards the gate. Coming out of the gate, An Yuan immediately greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Cousin......" An Qian temporarily put her messy thoughts behind her, and asked angrily: "Didn't Uncle ask you to contact Brother Qing Shui Pao, why are you still here?" Seeing his cousin talking so violently, Yasuhara couldn't help but feel bored, and then said with a smile on his face: "I'm waiting for my cousin, we haven't spoken for a day!" Anqian felt a little disgusted, and suddenly thought of Luo Yanran's matter, and couldn't help but worry in her heart, I heard that Qingshuipu had been destroyed in the war, I don't know if she is still alive? An Qian wasn't worried about Luo Yanran's safety, but she was worried that if the eldest brother knew that Luo Yanran was captured by Brother Qing Shui Pao, it was out of his own conspiracy, it would be very bad.

Annie couldn't help but regret a little, regretting that she shouldn't have done this kind of thing, this is really more than worth the loss! looked at Yasuhara with a smile on his face. Yasuhara was looking at Ann Qian with a blank eye, and when he saw her suddenly looking at him with a smile on her face, he was fascinated.

Anqian said softly: "Cousin, my little sister has one thing to ask you!" As if his soul had been snatched away, An Yuan nodded involuntarily, and said stupidly: "What my cousin said, the foolish brother will definitely do it!" ”

An Qian was secretly proud, and said: "The little sister is a little worried about the safety of that Miss Luo, when you inquire for your uncle, you also inquire about her situation for the little sister!" An Yuan immediately said: "Don't worry, cousin, the foolish brother will definitely do it!" "Thank you, cousin!" Yasuhara's heart was full of joy, and he said with great emotion: "As long as it is something that my cousin explains, let alone this kind of trivial matter of inquiring about the news, even if you go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, the foolish brother will definitely not frown!" Annsie laughed dryly, made an excuse, and hurried away. Yasuhara looked at Anqian's carriage in the distance stupidly, until he couldn't see it, then he collected his mood and went to run errands.

At the same time, Zhou Rong was also discussing with his cronies how to deal with An Bing. After some discussion, he came to a similar conclusion to An Bing, and Zhou Rong also wanted to find a way to reconcile with An Bing, and at the same time mobilize a large army just in case.

The regular troops in various parts of Sichuan received orders from the Xuanfu envoy and the Zhenfu envoy respectively, and except for a few people, the vast majority immediately followed the order and led their troops and horses to Chengdu to support their respective masters. The magistrates in various places also received orders from the two to mobilize their subordinate armies immediately, either to lead them in person, or to send cronies to Chengdu to support.

An Bing and Zhou Rong originally had plans to reconcile, but after seeing the other party's move to dispatch troops, they were full of doubts, although they were negotiating, they were preparing for a big war behind the scenes. After the other party noticed this situation, they became even more distrustful of the other party, so the peace talks became more and more hopeful of solving the problem, but the atmosphere became more and more tense.

Just when the two sides were tense and confrontational, a very unexpected news suddenly came from the east: Ding Gao led the army to march to the city of Xiangyang, but was suddenly ambushed by the Cao brothers on all sides, and the 700,000 army lost more than half of it overnight.

An Bing and Zhou Rong were shocked, and their hearts, which had already fallen to the imperial court, couldn't help but become active again. The two put each other's affairs aside for the time being, and began to frequently meet with envoys from all sides. The war clouds that originally shrouded over Chengdu Mansion seemed to have disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the people of Chengdu, who had been worried for several days, finally breathed a long sigh of relief! The streets and alleys that were originally slaughtered have become lively again!

After a few days of bargaining in the Khitan Kingdom, An Bing finally decided to take refuge with the prince, but Zhou Rong took refuge with the Tubo people, which can be described as a great joy. Subsequently, at the suggestion and mediation of the prince's envoy, An Bing sat down with Zhou Rong, as well as the prince's envoy and the envoy of Tubo, and the two sides shook hands and made peace, and the prince and the Tibetan side reached an agreement on the division of Sichuan. The counties of northern Sichuan, excluding Chengdu, were all assigned to Tibet, while the counties of northern and southern Sichuan, including Chengdu, were still part of the Song Kingdom. In fact, the entire Sichuan was originally the Song Kingdom, and such a division is simply a loss of power and humiliation of the country, but at this moment, the prince has no mind to protect any ancestral land, and they now only want to defeat Zhao Heng and achieve restoration, for this reason, there is nothing to scruple about other trivial things!

When the two sides reached an agreement, they held a banquet in the yamen of the Chengdu prefect, and the two sides did not distinguish between the guests and the hosts, drank and laughed, enjoyed the singing and dancing, and were so happy. Ancy sat on the seat, her brow furrowed. An Yuan, who was sitting next to him, had a drink with the others, turned his head, and saw that An Qian seemed to have an unhappy look on his face, and couldn't help asking, "Cousin, what are you thinking?" ”

Ann Qian smiled coldly, glanced at the few people sitting at the top, and couldn't help but mock: "I think we are like a group of rats who have eaten food!" Yasuhara smiled and said, "My cousin said I was joking!" My father is now the governor of Sichuan and the general of Pingxi, who was canonized by the two Majesties, and his power is so high that it has reached the extreme! Although Zhou Rong took refuge in the Tubo people, he was also a general and the governor of Sichuan, and he was also a very popular minister! ”

An Qian smiled coldly, "No matter how high the power is, what's the big deal!" "An Yuan is very disapproving, in his thoughts, the power is high, that is the dragon and phoenix among the people, that is the master of the people, how can it be useless? However, he didn't dare to offend his cousin, so he smiled and nodded yes.

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