Chapter 538, indecisiveness
Sun Heng was greatly annoyed when he saw that the other party grabbed the barrel of his gun, and used all his strength with both hands to regain it, but he still did not move. The soldiers on the city wall were originally shouting and cheering, but when they saw such a scene, the shouting and cheering gradually weakened. Zhou Rong was anxious and angry; An Bing was shocked and gloating.
Sun Heng had already exerted his strength to feed, his mouth was tightly pursed, his eyes were wide open, the green tendons on his forehead were bursting up, and his originally dark skin became black and red. However, his spear seemed to have taken root in Huyan Bixian's hand, and no matter how hard he tried, he would not move at all.
Hu Yanbi smiled and said, "I won't play with you, I'll give it back to you." As he spoke, he let go of his left hand, which was holding the barrel of the gun. At this time, Sun Heng was still struggling to regain the spear, he didn't expect the other party to suddenly let go, and when he was caught off guard, the whole person suddenly fell backwards, fell straight down from the horse, and was so frightened that he screamed in fright, and fell under the horse with a thud, with his feet facing the sky, extremely embarrassed.
The soldiers of the Yanyun Army burst out laughing, while the people on the city wall were ashamed, and they wanted to find a hole to get into, Zhou Rongchang blushed and shouted: "Waste! Rubbish!! An Bing saw Zhou Rong's people make a fool of himself, and his heart was very happy, but then he became afraid, he knew Sun Heng, this person was a martial artist, very strong, he had competed with Fang Long under his own command, and Fang Long could only fight with him to a draw, don't look at him now looking embarrassed like a clown, in fact, he is one of the strongest generals in the city! But such a character was actually teased by the other party like a child, which really makes people's hairs stand on end!
Sun Heng got up from the ground and saw Guan Sheng with a smile on his face, only to feel that his appearance was even more terrifying than the legendary evil ghost, where did he dare to stay here, and hurriedly turned around and ran away. Huyan Bixian didn't chase after him, so he immediately laughed in place. Sun Heng heard Huyan Bixian's laughter, thinking that he had come to chase and kill him, so he was so frightened that he ran towards the city gate, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he ran into the city gate. After taking two breaths, I suddenly felt that my crotch was cold, and I couldn't help but look down, and I saw that my crotch was actually wet! Sun Heng was ashamed, he had nothing to do, and he didn't know what to do!
Huyan Bixian returned to Yang Peng's side and said with a smile: "These birdmen are really useless!" The last generals are too lazy to kill them! Yang Peng smiled: "It's better not to kill them than to kill them!" Immediately raised his right hand and waved forward, and the three thousand light cavalry who had been waiting for a long time immediately galloped out and galloped towards the city of Chengdu.
The people on the city walls immediately became nervous, and amid the panicked shouts of generals at all levels, the soldiers panicked and prepared for battle, and the city was in chaos. Yan Yun's war cavalry galloped to a distance of more than 100 steps from the city wall, suddenly reined in his horse, and sent out several waves of arrow rain towards the city, and then turned his horse's head back into the big array. The horn of the troops sounded loudly, and Yan Yunjun slowly retreated.
The soldiers of the defenders in the city couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Yan Yunjun retreating. Immediately, everyone found out that the arrows shot by Yan Yun's war cavalry just now were actually tied to a note, so they picked it up and watched, and the note was written with Yan Yunjun's policy, telling the people in the city that as long as they become Yanyun's people, they can unconditionally get their own land, and their own house, and so on. In addition, he also talked about Yan Yunjun's attitude towards the soldiers and civilians in the city, and finally said: "Don't go along with the traitors who betrayed the Huaxia clan, only by defecting to Yanyun can you have a happy life!" ”
Zhou Rong and An Bing also read the arrow book and were shocked, and hurriedly ordered their cronies to put away the note, and strictly ordered all the soldiers and soldiers not to discuss the content of the arrow book, nor to spread the content of the arrow book, and those who violated the military law will be dealt with. The soldiers were in turmoil and at a loss.
Yang Peng returned to the big tent and sat down, the generals were divided into left and right, and Luo Yanran stood beside Yang Peng. Since Luo Yanran was rescued by Yang Peng, she has been staying by Yang Peng's side. She rarely spoke, and always silently looked at Yang Peng, who was giving orders.
Liu Xi said with a smile: "Before, King Yan's plan to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle went to Hanzhou without a fight, and today he will definitely be able to go to Chengdu without a fight!" Yang Peng shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that the situation in Hanzhou will not be repeated." The situation here is different from Hanzhou, this is the lair of Zhou Rong and An Bing, and the soldiers and generals here are their cronies, although this heart-attacking tactic can shake the hearts of the army, but it is impossible to go down to Chengdu without a fight! Even if there are soldiers who want to follow Zheng Jun's example, I'm afraid they don't have the guts. Even if you have that guts, you will be extinguished soon. ”
The generals thought that what King Yan said made sense, and couldn't help but nodded. Huyan Bixian said loudly: "Although Chengdu is strong, the defenders inside have already wavered in their hearts, and I think that they can take Chengdu within three days of a frontal attack!" Zhan Jinguo nodded and said: "General Huyan is right, the morale of the army in the city is shaken and demoralized, and it is not difficult to take Chengdu!" Zheng Jun stepped forward and said: "The last general is willing to lead the soldiers of his department as the vanguard to attack Chengdu!" "When he asked for battle, the other generals asked for battle.
Yang Peng sighed and said, "But I don't want to cause more casualties!" Dengcheng stormed, our soldiers will inevitably pay a lot of price, and Chengdu will be bleeding like a river! I don't want to see this as a last resort! ”
The generals looked at each other, and Zheng Jun said movingly: "King Yan can consider the safety of the military and civilians in Chengdu, he is really a benevolent and righteous king!" Liu Xi hugged his fists and said: "King Yan is benevolent and righteous, even Tang Zong Song Zu and Yao Shunyu Tang are beyond reach!" However, the army will fight, if the sun and the moon are delayed, I am only afraid of extraneous branches! King Yan don't forget the information he received not long ago, the envoys of the Tubo people and the two emperors have rushed back, if we are delayed under the city of Chengdu, I am afraid that the Tubo army and the reinforcements of the second emperor will arrive, then this battle will not be easy to fight, I am afraid that more people will be sacrificed! ”
Hu Yan Bixian said: "General Liu is right! Then he hugged his fist at Yang Peng and said: "King Yan, we can understand that you don't want to kill each other!" But the current situation is that if we don't take Chengdu as soon as possible, we will be in a disadvantageous position! By that time, there must have been more casualties on both sides! Zhan Jinguo also said: "Big brother, I think General Guan and General Liu are right!" ”
Yang Peng said: "I've already decided, wait and see, don't persuade you anymore!" ”
The generals looked at each other. After the dissolution of the meeting, the generals left the horde. Zhan Jinguo said with a puzzled face: "Big brother has always been wise and decisive, why is he so gentle this time?" Hu Yanbixian sighed, "King Yan cares about the friendship of the same clan and does not want to cause more deaths and injuries to his own people, that is understandable!" Then he frowned, "It's just that King Yan obviously knows that delaying time is not good for us, but why do you have to wait?" Isn't that a woman's kindness? King Yan shouldn't be such a person! Zhan Jinguo guessed: "Big brother may just have to wait a little, but don't worry too much." Huyan Bixian felt that what Zhan Jinguo said made sense, and nodded.
Yang Peng sat behind the desk and wrote something, after he finished writing, he read it carefully, and saw that there was no problem, so he blew dry the ink, folded it, put it in an envelope, and wrote on the envelope 'Yang Yanzhao personally opened' is a big character. He immediately called Wang Kai and handed him the letter, ordering him to immediately send someone to send the letter to Xiliang and hand it over to Yang Yanzhao. Wang Kai promised and ran down.
Yang Peng thought about it, took another piece of stationery, wrote a letter, and after checking that it was correct, he folded it and put it in the envelope, but did not write the name of the recipient on the envelope. Yang Peng shouted; "Someone." One of the guards guarding outside the tent rushed in, clenched his fists and asked, "What does the master command?" ”
Yang Peng said: "Call Huyan Bixian." The secret guard answered and ran down, and after a while, Huyan Bixian strode in, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Meet King Yan!" I don't know what King Yan commanded? ”
Yang Peng said: "Our army's grain and grass are not too sufficient, I have ordered Tianjing New City to transport grain and grass, and you lead the Ninth Army to return to Hanzhong to escort grain and grass." Huyan Bixian was very puzzled and asked, "King Yan, why did you send the last general to escort the grain and grass, and also transfer all the soldiers and horses of the Ninth Legion to it!" Isn't this a bit of a fuss? ”
Yang Peng said angrily: "This is a military order!" Huyan will show that he can't, so he has to clench his fists and promise, and he can't help but feel that King Yan, who has always been wise and decisive, seems to be a little dizzy in his head this time, first he decided to take Chengdu in one go, and now he actually sent his ninth army to escort grain and grass, which is really inexplicable!
Yang Peng handed the letter he had just written into Luo Yanran's hands and motioned for her to hand it over to Huyan Bixian. Luo Yanran walked up to Huyan Bixian with the letter and handed it to him. Huyan Bixian hurriedly stretched out his hands to take the letter, and was about to open it to read. Yang Peng hurriedly said: "Don't be busy looking at it first!" Hu Yan looked at Yang Peng in confusion.
Yang Peng said: "You will see it two days after you lead the army away." "Huyan will show his fists in response. Yang Peng said: "Okay, if there is no problem, you can go and prepare, and set off early tomorrow morning." ”
Hu Yan Bixian said angrily: "The last general's heart is full of questions! King Yan, you ......" Yang Peng smiled and waved his hand, "I know all your problems!" I have my plan, so don't say more, just do what I tell you to do! Huyan Bixian had no choice but to swallow all the doubts in his stomach, bowed to Yang Peng, and then bowed to Luo Yanran, and left.
Wang Kai rushed in and reported: "Master Qiqi, the letter has been sent. Someone came outside the barracks, claiming to be the messengers of Zhou Rong and An Bing, and wanted to see King Yan! Yang Peng smiled: "It's good to come." Call me all the generals, and bring them in. Wang Kai answered and ran down. Immediately, the drums outside the big tent rang out, and the generals heard the drums and hurried to the big tent, and then the two literati-looking guys were brought into the big tent by Wang Kai.
The literati on the left first bowed: "Zhou Hong, the general of Tubo and the envoy of the governor of Sichuan, pays a visit to King Yan!" The literati on the right followed and bowed: "An Hua, the general of the western part of the Great Song Dynasty and the envoy of the governor of Sichuan, pays a visit to King Yan!" ”
Yang Peng sneered: "Sichuan has always been the territory of the Han people, what are the Tibetan envoys doing here?" Zhou Hong hurriedly said: "King Yan doesn't know that Tubo has reached an agreement with the imperial court, and the second emperor promised to cede the north of Chengdu to Tubo. Now my family is already the general of Tubo and the governor of Sichuan. ”
Yang Peng said: "The Han people's rivers and mountains are not his Zhao family!" His Zhao family is not qualified to give away the Han people's country! Zhan Jinguo said angrily: "Song Ting's dog-day things, things signed with people, we Yanyun don't admit anything!" The generals roared one after another, and for a moment the crowd was furious. Seeing this scene, Zhou Hong was terrified, worried that the other party would cut himself off under anger, thinking of the terrible place, he couldn't help but weaken his knees, and knelt on the ground with a thud.
Yang Peng motioned for the generals to be quiet, and the generals suppressed their anger and stopped scolding, but they still glared at Zhou Hong angrily, making Zhou Hong feel as if the wolves were about to devour him at any time, trembling all over, very uneasy. At this time, not only Zhou Hong was terrified, but An Bing's messenger Anwar was no better, only feeling that King Yan and his generals were all manic and reckless, and they were afraid that if they didn't pay attention to it, they would be angry and cut down by them! I can't help but regret it, regret that I shouldn't have volunteered to be this messenger!
Yang Peng looked down at Zhou Hong and asked, "What did Zhou Rong send you for?" Zhou Hong hurriedly said: "Return, back to King Yan's words, Lord Zhou, send, send villains, I hope to make peace with King Yan!" Yang Peng looked at An Hua and asked, "That's what An Bing mean?" ”
Anwar couldn't help but kneel down and said, "That's what my family meant. My lord said that as long as King Yan agrees to withdraw from the army, he is willing to offer one million loads of grain and grass, five million taels of silver, and one hundred thousand taels of gold as compensation! Zhou Hong hurriedly said: "My family is also willing to offer a million loads of grain and grass, five million taels of silver, and one hundred thousand taels of gold as compensation!" ”
Yang Peng said secretly: "Good guys, these two guys can take out two million loads of grain and grass, 10 million taels of silver and 200,000 taels of gold at once, these will definitely not be all the reserves of those two guys!" The land of abundance really lives up to its name! He glanced at the two of them and said, "The merger of Sichuan into the territory is my Yanyun's strategy, and it is impossible to change!" Go back! ”
Zhou Hong hurriedly said: "If King Yan must annex Sichuan, we can still talk about it!" What my family adults mean is that it is okay to defect to Yan Yun, as long as King Yan can agree, he will keep a series of canonizations from Tubo to my family! Anwar also said: "That's what my family meant!" ”
Yang Peng sneered and said, "It seems that your adults have already discussed!" Go back and tell them that they are willing to surrender, and I welcome them, but I can't agree to their conditions! I, Yanyun, have my own law, and all titles must be exchanged for merit, and all positions must be exchanged for merit, and all positions must be obtained by merit, but also depend on my ability. Zhou Rong and An Bing, with mediocre qualifications, can be a prefect at most, and the merit of dedication to Chengdu is far from enough for them to obtain the positions of general and governor, I can promise to canonize the two of them as the local prefect of Sichuan, and the rest is not to be discussed. ”
The two messengers were disappointed and looked at each other. Zhou Hong couldn't help but say: "If we fight with King Yan to the end, I'm afraid that King Yan won't be able to please him!" Yang Peng laughed, his laughter was full of contempt, and said to the two: "If you can surrender, I welcome it; If you want to resist, it's up to you! Alright, I've said all that I have to say, go back to your life! ”
The two didn't dare to say anything more, bowed to Yang Peng, and left the big tent. Hu Yan Bixian asked excitedly: "King Yan, are we going to storm Chengdu?" The other generals were also very excited. Yang Peng glanced at everyone, "Who told you that I was going to attack Chengdu?" The original plan remains the same, so you all step down. The generals were surprised, glanced at each other, bowed to Yang Peng with doubts, and withdrew from the big tent.
Huyan Bixian couldn't help but say: "It's really inexplicable! Since King Yan wants to solve the problem by peaceful means, why does he not give an inch to the conditions proposed by the other party? Liu Xi frowned and said: "King Yan's words are clearly to force Zhou Rong and An Bing to resist to the end, it's really incomprehensible!" Then he sighed: "In short, King Yan is unfathomable, and I can't understand King Yan's plan!" Zhan Jin Guo said: "Let's not worry about it, just do things according to the eldest brother's instructions!" The generals nodded approvingly.
Zhou Hong and Anwar returned to the city and told Zhou Rong and An Bing, who were waiting for King Yan's reply, and the two heard that King Yan did not accept the conditions they put forward at all, and still insisted on the previous conditions, they couldn't help but be disappointed, and then became angry, Zhou Rong said indignantly: "He thought he had eaten us!" Hmph, since he doesn't agree to my conditions, I will fight him to the end! I don't believe it, he Yan Yunjun can really break through the city of Chengdu, which has strong barriers! When the reinforcements from Tibet and the imperial court arrived, I saw who was unlucky! An Bing was silent.
An Bing came out of Zhou Rong, returned to the mansion, immediately called Jiang Tong and Nuan'er, gave careful instructions, and finally said: "Without further ado, you guys should set off." The two said yes and left the mansion. Quietly came to the east gate and went out of the city.
Yang Peng was looking at the map of Sichuan under the lamp, with a thoughtful look on his face. Luo Yanran led Yun'er, who was holding a poached egg, in, came behind Yang Peng, and called softly: "Big brother......" Yang Peng turned around, saw Luo Yanran, and said with a smile; "Why haven't you slept yet?" Luo Yanran said softly: "Isn't the eldest brother also asleep yet?" Yang Peng held Luo Yanran's slender hand and said with a smile: "I'm different, leading a leader to fight has always been like this!" You are a girl, and your body is weak, and you delay sleeping, but you are prone to illness. Luo Yanran said proudly: "The eldest brother is too underestimated to look down on the younger sister!" The little sister is not the kind of daughter who lives in the boudoir and can't help it! I usually stay up late! ”
Yang Peng said angrily: "Don't stay up late in the future!" If you fall ill, Big Brother will be sad! Luo Yanran's heart was sweet, and then begged: "Big brother, I, I want to ask you for one thing...... Yang Peng smiled: "Don't say anything you don't ask for, as long as the eldest brother can do it, it will definitely be done for you!" Luo Yanran said: "Big brother, little sister hopes that in the future, we will be together in the future, you, you can allow little sister to continue to manage the family property!" My little sister doesn't want to be a canary in a cage! ”
Yang Peng asked, "What if the eldest brother doesn't agree?" Luo Yanran was disappointed, couldn't help sighing, and said faintly: "If that's the case, the little sister has no choice but to be the canary of the eldest brother!" Glancing at Yang Peng, "It's just that the little sister will be very unhappy!" ”
Yang Peng gently hugged Luo Yanran into his arms, and put his lips against the veil next to her ear and said softly: "How can the eldest brother bear to see Yanran unhappy!" I grant you this request. Luo Yanran was overjoyed, hurriedly left Yang Peng's arms, and asked, "Big brother, what you said is true?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, and said, "But there is one thing that must be changed, I have to live in the palace in the future, and I am not allowed to live in my mother's house anymore!" ”
Luo Yanran was embarrassed, nodded lightly, and said in a voice like a gnat: "Of course." Thinking of the poached egg, he quickly turned around and took it from Yun'er's hand, handed it to Yang Peng, and said, "Big brother, this is the poached egg I made with Yun'er, you can eat it while it's hot!" ”
Yang Peng's heart was full of tenderness, he took the poached egg with both hands and devoured it. Luo Yanran and Yun'er looked at Yang Peng's eating appearance and were very happy. Yang Peng finished eating the poached eggs, but he was still unsatisfied. handed the empty bowl to Yun'er, and Yun'er ran down with the empty bowl. Yang Peng smiled and said to Luo Yanran: "Since we can't sleep, why don't we take a stroll next month?" Luo Yanran said softly: "Big brother will do whatever he says." ”
Yang Peng took Luo Yanran's slender hand and walked out of the big tent. The guards guarding the door hurriedly bowed and saluted: "King Yan, Miss!" Luo Yanran was held by Yang Peng for the first time in front of outsiders, and she was infinitely shy in her heart, hanging her head, and she didn't dare to look at those guards.
Yang Peng led Luo Yanran to the hill in the barracks, looked up at the sky, and saw the bright moon hanging in the sky, and the surrounding stars were shining, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Today's night is so beautiful!" Luo Yanran felt something in her heart, and couldn't help but say: "The moon is silent when you leave people, and the moon is bright, and people are affectionate." After farewell, lovesickness is like the moon, and the water between the clouds reaches the layer city. As soon as I finished reading it, I suddenly thought that my eldest brother was beside me, and I couldn't help but be ashamed, my heart was pounding, and I couldn't help but regret it, and I regretted that I couldn't help but sing this poem. What a shame!
Luo Yanran secretly looked at Yang Peng, and when she saw that he was looking at herself gently, she was shocked, and she was even more ashamed, so she quickly looked away. Immediately, he felt that his eldest brother's powerful arm was bent around his slender waist, and his heart swayed, and his whole body leaned into Chen Xiao's arms.
Yang Peng hugged Luo Yanran's slender waist and said softly: "Big brother really deserves to fight, I didn't know that Yanran had long been in love with big brother!" Luo Yanran was shy and said, "Who, who said, I, I have a deep love for you!" People don't have it! Yang Peng put his lips against Luo Yanran's veil, smelled a wisp of elegant fragrance, his heart fluttered, and he asked with a smile: "Then who is 'Farewell Lovesickness Like the Moon' talking about?" Luo Yanran buried the head in Yang Peng's arms, and said angrily: "If you are necrotic, you will play tricks on others!" ”
Yang Peng couldn't help but be moved, and said softly: "Yanran ......" Luo Yanran raised her head and looked at Chen Xiao, her heart was pounding, an unprecedented impulse surged into her heart, she couldn't help but gasp sharply, the veil surged, and the fragrance of blue musk sprayed on Yang Peng's face for a while, Yang Peng couldn't help but hug Luo Yanran tightly.
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
