Yang Peng glanced at An Bing and said, "Xiaoqian said that you regretted what you did before, so you wholeheartedly made meritorious contributions, and you have been busy all over Sichuan for more than a month, I was very surprised when I heard the news!" ”

An Bing said bitterly: "The sinner hesitated from time to time before, and even reaped the consequences, this is all the guilt of the sinner!" Since then, the criminal has decided to change his past mistakes and serve King Yan wholeheartedly, so he used the connections accumulated before to go to various states and counties to persuade everyone to serve King Yan! Because King Yan is the true son of heaven who is destined to return! Anqian said from the side: "Big brother, uncle, he has been lobbying the counties south of Chengdu for more than a month, and he has gained a lot!" ”

Yang Peng looked at An Bing. An Bing hurriedly took out a list, held his hands high, and said: "This is the list of the prefect and the prefect of Chengcheng, please take a look at it!" Anqian took the list and forwarded it to Yang Peng.

Yang Peng picked up the list and looked at it, silently. An Bingzheng peeked at Yang Peng, looking at Yang Peng's expression in his eyes, he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, and he didn't know whether King Yan was satisfied or dissatisfied.

Yang Peng asked: "Is there no one who resists Toucheng?" An Bing hurriedly said: "King Yan has obtained the mandate of heaven, and it is the trend of the times to dominate the world, so everyone will naturally surrender immediately through the criminal ministers!" It's just that the prefect of Yazhou united with the Xishan, Yechuan and other tribes, refusing to submit and resist the mandate of heaven! ”

Yang Peng ordered Wang Kai to take the map, unfold it in front of him, and search for it with his eyes. An Bing hurriedly pointed at Yazhou and said, "Yazhou is here." ”

Yang Peng's eyes fell on Yazhou, which is in the southwest of Chengdu Prefecture, two or three hundred miles away from Chengdu, which is now Ya'an City, Sichuan Province, although the straight-line distance from Chengdu is not very far, but it is not easy to travel from Chengdu Mansion to Yazhou.

Yang Peng's gaze moved to the west of Yazhou, where there was an area marked with the western mountains and wild rivers. The so-called Xishan Yechuan tribes, in fact, are also several small tribes of Tubo, because of the conflict with the Tubo royal family, frightened and defected to the Song Dynasty, so the Xishan Yechuan tribes have since belonged to the Song Dynasty. At that time, the Song Dynasty gave them a privilege to take full authority to handle their own affairs, and the court did not interfere, but the ministries were required to pay some tribute every year.

Yang Peng looked at Yazhou and the West Mountains and Wild Rivers, with a thoughtful look on his face. Luo Yanran and An Qian were also watching from the side, and An Qian said: "Yazhou and the Western Mountains and Yechuan are unwilling to submit, presumably they are not satisfied with the price given by the eldest brother!" "Ansie is a businessman, she is proficient in trading, and when she encounters any problem, she naturally analyzes it from the perspective of a businessman.

Yang Peng smiled: "I haven't sent someone to negotiate with them yet!" Anqian hurriedly said: "It's the little sister who lost her words!" ”

Yang Peng waved his hand and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense!" He looked at An Bing and asked, "Have you talked to them?" An Bing said ashamedly: "If you return to the king of Yan, the criminal minister has not been able to enter the city at all, and the other party said that if it weren't for the fact that he was an official in the same dynasty, he would definitely take my head!" Speaking of this, An Bing couldn't help swallowing his saliva, looking like he had palpitations.

Yang Peng pondered: "The other party is not willing to talk, it seems that it is not a matter of price, they have made up their minds to be loyal to the court!" Hehe! An Bing scolded: "Han Tong, that guy was stinky and hard when he was an official in the imperial court, or he wouldn't have been sent by the emperor to serve as a small prefect in remote Yazhou!" ”

Yang Peng asked, "The prefect of Yazhou is called Han Tong?" An Bing nodded, "Yes." Feeling that King Yan seemed to want to know about this person's situation, he continued: "This person is almost sixty years old, he is from Tanzhou (Changsha), he has a hot temper, and he is too square to offend people. I heard that he once accused the emperor in public above the court, and he was almost killed by the emperor at that time! However, after this person arrived in Yazhou, he governed the place in an orderly manner, and the people were happy, and even the Xichuan Yechuan tribes admired him very much. ”

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "He's stronger than you?" An Bing smiled ashamedly and said, "It's not a secret, the criminal minister is much inferior to him in governing the place!" He's such a talent! ”

Yang Peng smiled slightly, nodded and said, "You are not bad, you can speak directly about the advantages of others." When An Bing heard Yang Peng praise himself, he drank ice water on a hot day, and the billions and tens of millions of cells in his body became refreshed, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Yang Peng looked at Yazhou and the Western Mountains and Yechuan for a moment, and then moved his gaze to Guozhou. Guozhou is now Nanchong City, Sichuan Province, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the situation is dangerous, it can be described as mountains and rivers on the surface, easy to defend and difficult to attack. At present, the entire Sichuan Province, except for Yazhou, Xishanyechuan and Guozhou, has all sworn allegiance to Yang Peng. The prefect of Naguo Prefecture is named Chen Kang, hehe, Yang Peng's family, is raising troops with great fanfare, hoarding grain and grass, and playing the banner of doing the right thing for the sky, it seems that he wants to be a loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, but Yang Peng sees that this person is very ambitious and wants to take the opportunity to encompass Sichuan and divide the West.

An Bing looked at Yang Peng with a blank eye, and was very eager to get his canonization, but it was difficult to say this, so he was very anxious. Yang Peng motioned to Wang Kai and them to put away the map, looked at An Bing, and said, "You have made a lot of contributions, how should I reward you?" An Bing became excited, and hurriedly bowed: "The criminal minister wants to be loyal to King Yan, and he doesn't dare to ask for King Yan's reward!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, he naturally wouldn't believe An Bing's so-called loyalty, if this kind of person is also loyal, I'm afraid there will be no traitors in the world, although his line of work can be said to be redundant, but after all, it can be regarded as lobbying many states and counties to surrender, but this can't be rewarded without merit. As soon as he thought of this, Yang Peng said: "Your trip can be regarded as very hard, although it is a bit redundant, but after all, your loyalty is commendable!" I will appoint you as the prefect of Hanzhong, and you will take office on the same day. An Bing was a little disappointed, he originally expected that Yang Peng would still appoint him as the Sichuan Xuanfu envoy, but he didn't expect to only get a position as the prefect of Hanzhong, but although he was deficient in his heart, he was grateful on his face.

Later that day, Yang Peng passed an order in the study of the palace, ordering Wang Kai to send envoys to the prefectures of Sichuan, and ordering the prefects of the prefectures and counties to come to Chengdu a month later to discuss the affairs of Sichuan. Wang Kai took the order and ran down. Immediately, Liu Xi and Hu Yan Bixian entered the study, hugged their fists at Yang Peng and bowed: "The last general will meet King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng stood up and walked to the map hanging on the side of the study, and General Hu Yan Bixian and Liu Xier followed.

Yang Peng pointed to the area of Yazhou, and then pointed to Guozhou, and said: "At present, the whole of Sichuan has basically been surrendered, and only Han Tong, the prefect of Yazhou, and Chen Kang, the prefect of Guozhou, are still resisting us. The immediate task is to sweep away these two forces. Liu Xi couldn't help but say: "Sichuan is already ours, what are these beam-jumping clowns!" In an instant, they can be wiped out! Hu Yanbi nodded sympathetically.

Yang Peng pointed to Guozhou and said: "According to the information I have recently obtained, Chen Kang, the prefect of Guozhou, is actively recruiting soldiers and horses to hoard grain and grass, there are already more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there are sufficient grain, grass and ordnance, coupled with the dangerous terrain of Guozhou, we can't take them too lightly." ”

Hu Yanbi smiled coldly and said mockingly: "I think this Chen Kang is a person who sells his head!" Then he hugged his fist at Yang Peng and said: "King Yan, the last general only needs 5,000 soldiers and horses to exterminate Chen Kang!" If you don't succeed, be willing to be martial! ”

Yang Peng said: "There is no joke in the army!" Huyan Bixian knelt down on one knee and said in a loud voice: "The last general is willing to make a military order!" Yang Peng helped Hu Yan Bixian up and said: "There is no need for a military order, but if you can't succeed, I will be severely punished!" Hu Yan Bixian hugged his fists and said: "The last general will not disappoint King Yan!" Yang Peng said: "I'll give you 10,000 horses, and send a few locals who are familiar with the terrain to guide the land." Huyan Bixian rejoiced: "In this way, there will be no mistakes!" Yang Peng said: "You must not take it lightly, you must know that the famous generals of the past and present have all been defeated by arrogant and contemptuous enemies!" Don't make the same mistakes! Hu Yan Bixian's heart sank, and he hugged his fists and said: "The last general remembers!" ”

Yang Peng glanced at Liu Xi, pointed to the Yazhou and Xishan Yechuan tribes, and said, "Yazhou Governor Han Tong has united the Xishan Yechuan tribes against our army. This Han Tong is said to have some ability to govern the place, but a scholar must not understand military affairs. According to An Bing's intelligence, Han Tong united with the Xishan, Yechuan and other tribes, with a total of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and you led 10,000 Han Chinese troops to exterminate them. Liu Xi clenched his fists and promised. Yang Peng looked at Liu Xi and said, "I have also prepared a guide for you who is familiar with the local terrain." Liu Xi said: "King Yan has prepared everything, if the last general can't sweep away the rebels in one fell swoop, he has to come to see him!" Yang Peng smiled and said: "I prepared what you need for you as much as possible, which is what the master should do." ”

Glancing at the two generals, "Those guides are waiting for you at the gate, you can see them when you go down, so take them away as you like." The two generals clenched their fists and promised.

Yang Peng said: "As for logistics and supplies, you don't have to worry, I have already arranged it for you." If you have no problems, go down and get ready, and set out early tomorrow morning. The second general clenched his fists and retreated.

Yang Peng turned to face the map shelf and put down the rolled up map, which turned out to be a complete map of the whole of East Asia. Yang Peng's gaze fell on Sichuan, which was painted with the banner of the Han army, and his face was thoughtful.

Wang Kai led a majestic and burly young man in civilian clothes to rush in, clasped his fists and said, "Master, the Tubo spy returns." Yang Peng turned around, and the young man immediately stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Subordinates meet King Yan!" Yang Peng smiled slightly and said: "I know you, your name is Xiang Meng, your ancestral home is in southern Hunan, in order to avoid debts, your parents and grandparents fled to the Yanmen mountains near Datong, and became a hunter, you were born in Yanmen Mountain, and you joined our army when our army attacked Yanmen Pass. ”

Xiang Meng said excitedly: "King Yan, King Yan, do you remember the villain?" Yang Peng smiled slightly, "Get up and speak." Xiang Meng responded, stood up, and looked at Yang Peng with reverence. Yang Peng glanced at Xiang Meng and said with a smile: "Hunan people have been brave and good at fighting since ancient times, but the people there are relatively short, and it is rare to see someone as majestic as you!" ”

Xiang Meng picked his head a little embarrassed, and said, "The villain's grandfather and father are indeed relatively short. Yang Peng smiled and asked, "You are from Tibet, is there any situation?" Xiang Meng thought of something serious at this time, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said: "Back to King Yan, our envoy of Yanyun has been locked up by the Tubo people, and the situation is critical!" ”

Yang Peng showed a look of surprise, frowned and paced. He stopped and muttered, "Maybe it's because the Tibetans don't believe that their army has been annihilated by us!" "No wonder, in that case, who would have believed that their 200,000 army would be wiped out in an instant!" He turned to look at Xiang Meng and said, "Continue to monitor the movements of the Tubo people, and report back immediately if there is any movement!" Xiang Meng clenched his fists and promised. Yang Peng said again: "You don't have to come back to summon the interrogation in person, you just need to send your subordinates to summon the interrogation!" Xiang Meng responded, saluted Yang Peng, and retreated.

At the same time, the spies sent by the Tibetans had entered the territory of Sichuan, a middle-aged man disguised as a fur merchant and a few young retinues.

A few people came to a town on the border of Sichuan, found an inn to live in, and then came to the most prosperous restaurant in the town to sit down, and asked for a few side dishes and a pot of wine. Xiao Er said slowly, and then prepared to leave. The middle-aged man grabbed Xiao Er and asked in stiff Chinese, "Xiao Er, I asked you about something!" Xiao Er saw that they were Tubo, and he was already angry, and when he heard the other party's words, he said angrily: "I am running the hall, and I don't have time to gossip!" ”

A young entourage next to the middle-aged man was greatly annoyed, and pointed at the middle-aged man and shouted at Xiao Er: "Don't be rude, do you know who this person in front of you is?" Xiao Er glanced at the middle-aged man and smiled coldly, "It's a nobleman from Tibet!" The young man exclaimed, "Now that you know, you dare to be so rude!" Are you impatient! "In the past, the Tubo people were used to being domineering in Sichuan, and when the young entourage saw that Xiao Er was rude, he naturally took out the style of the Tubo uncle!

Xiao Er said mockingly: "In the past, you Tubo people were amazing, but we can't afford to mess with them." But now it's different, now it's not the useless Zhao Song world, but Yan Yun's world! Don't talk about you Tibetan stupid people, what about your 200,000 Tibetan army before? Didn't you be killed by our Yan Yun Army in an instant?! "A few Tubo people came to inquire about the whereabouts of the 200,000 army, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they heard the words of the shopkeeper at this moment. Seeing that the faces of several of them had changed, the shopkeeper couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, and unconsciously raised his voice and said: "Come to our Yanyun's territory, just be honest, don't fucking be an uncle, if something happens, you won't be able to go back!" ”

Several Tubo people were shocking what Xiao Er had just said about the annihilation of their 200,000 army, and they didn't listen to Xiao Er's words. Xiao Er snorted and left. The middle-aged man didn't have the heart to eat, so he hurriedly settled the account, led his entourage to leave the restaurant, and went to other places to inquire, and the news he got was exactly the same as what the shopkeeper said, their 200,000 army had been annihilated by the Yanyun army many days ago.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly led his men back to Tibet. The Tibetan monarchs and ministers anxiously waited for the news of the secret agent, and on this day, the secret agent finally came back and reported to the Tibetan monarch and ministers: "I will wait to inquire that the 200,000 army of General Zanbu is indeed completely annihilated!" The Tibetan monarchs and ministers were so shocked that their original expectations were completely disappointed. The hall was filled with buzzing, and the ministers were talking to each other, and everyone had a look of fear and confusion on their faces.

The Tibetan Emperor glanced at the ministers and nobles, and said in a loud voice: "Now, what should I do now?" The hall fell silent immediately. Just now it was a hustle and bustle, like a vegetable market, but at this time it was silent, and the needles could be heard. Seeing that no one was silent, the Tibetan Emperor looked over one by one, but every minister or nobleman who met his gaze subconsciously lowered his head to avoid the emperor's gaze.

The Tibetan Emperor was greatly annoyed and shouted: "You are talking! The voice echoed through the main hall, but no one answered. The Tibetan Emperor looked at Songhe and asked, "You say, what should I do now?" Then he asked very worriedly: "Will the Yanyun army attack our Tubo by the way?" As soon as these words came out, the originally silent hall buzzed again, and everyone looked very frightened. After a few moments, the hall gradually fell silent, and everyone's eyes converged on Songhyuk.

Song He bowed to the Tubo Emperor and said, "Your Majesty don't worry too much, the Yanyun Army will not come to attack us in the short term!" After a pause, "Yan Yunjun has just annexed Sichuan, and it takes time to digest, and in the past year, Yan Yunjun has been fighting almost every day, and Yan Yunjun must be very tired and needs time to rest." Therefore, the Yanyun army will definitely not come to attack our Tubo in a short time! ”

When the monarchs and ministers heard Songhyuk's words, most of their hearts that were originally hanging high fell. The Tibetan Emperor asked, "You said that they will not attack in a short time, will they definitely attack after a while?" ”

Song He didn't know how to answer for a while, and said: "Whether or not we will attack Tibet after a while, it's hard to say, it depends on King Yan's intentions." However, I don't think it's very likely, because judging from the actions of King Yan attacking Sichuan, his current intention should be to unify the Han region in the Central Plains. Even if Yan Yun wants to do something to us, it should be after he dominates the Central Plains and Han Lands. ”

The monarchs and ministers felt that what Song He said made sense, and they nodded their heads, and the ministers whispered.

Elder Hami stepped out, bowed to the Tubo Emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, I think we should take advantage of the fact that the Yanyun army has not yet gained a foothold in Sichuan, and then gather a large army to attack Sichuan!" The nobles echoed each other, and they all looked very eager. In this Tibetan operation against Sichuan, the Tibetan aristocracy can be said to be the main driving force, and the Tibetan military at that time was actually opposed to mixing in Sichuan affairs. The reason why the Tibetan nobles are so eager to seize Sichuan, hehe, in fact, the reason is very simple, the name of the country of Sichuan Tianfu is not only very famous among the Han people, but also very famous among the surrounding nationalities and countries, and the Tubo nobles have long coveted this rich country of abundance due to drought and flood, so when the news of the turmoil in Sichuan reached Tubo, the nobles tried their best to persuade the emperor to send troops, and this was the matter of 200,000 Tubo troops sent to Sichuan. It's just that no one thought that this time the troops would end up in such a fiasco.

Song He saw that the nobles still wanted to use troops against Sichuan, which was really funny and angry, and said: "The situation in Sichuan was chaotic before, and we still had a chance to take advantage of it, but we only ended up with a 200,000-strong army annihilated, but now Yanyun has controlled the entire Sichuan, and the other forces are either eliminated or withdrawn from Sichuan, in this case, there is no chance of winning again!" Moreover, our army has fought with the Yanyun army one after another in the past two years, and the losses are very huge! My Tubo does not have almost infinite human resources like the Han people, after these defeats, our young and middle-aged people in Tubo are already seriously insufficient, and young men are almost invisible in many places, and now they have suffered another big defeat, which makes my human resources in Tubo even worse! We simply don't have the ability to wage a large-scale war anymore! ”

Some high-ranking officials and generals echoed one after another, believing that with the current situation in Tibet, there must be no more wars, otherwise the country will only be destroyed. The nobles were annoyed and argued with the high-ranking and generals, and for a moment the solemn palace hall became like a vegetable market. The emperor was quarreled with by the nobles and ministers, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

An officer suddenly rushed into the main hall, and both sides of the argument fell silent, and both looked at the officer. The officer knelt down towards the Tubo Emperor and said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, General Zampu has sent an urgent report, the Yanyun Army Yang Yanzhao's department suddenly attacked the Great Snow Mountain, although our army resisted hard, but finally because of being outnumbered, the Snow Mountain Fortress was lost!" Qingtang is in danger, please send reinforcements quickly! ”

The Tibetan monarchs and ministers were stunned by this news and did not come back to their senses for a long time.

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