Gan Duo hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Yan, we can put aside the matter of Qingtang for the time being, and the envoy also wants to talk about the prisoners of our army." We hope that His Royal Highness King Yan will be able to return the prisoners of our army, so that they can return to their homeland and reunite with their families; This is a great merit, and I ask King Yan to agree! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Of course you can." Ganduo couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "King Yan will definitely be blessed by the Buddha if he does good deeds!" Yang Peng joked: "If I get the blessing of the Buddha, won't you Tubo be very unlucky?" Gan Duo snorted, and then said, "In short, we are very grateful for the generosity and kindness of King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to rush to thank me, my words haven't finished yet." There is no problem in releasing the captives, but you Tibetans must come up with the terms of exchange. It's like doing business, with one hand of money and one hand of goods, there is no reason in the world to give it away for nothing. ”

Gan Duo frowned and asked, "What does King Yan mean is that he wants us to exchange Qingtang and Qinghai Lake regions?" Yang Peng laughed and said, "Your envoy thinks it's too cheap!" Qingtang and Qinghai Lake area, in exchange for our army to stop attacking, and these hundreds of thousands of prisoners need you to exchange something else! Gan Duo faintly felt bad in his heart, and asked, "I don't know what King Yan wants us to exchange for?" ”

Yang Peng stood up and walked to the map shelf, which at this time had already hung up the map of Xichuan and the whole of Tubo. Gando followed Yang Peng to the map shelf, and saw at a glance that the map in front of him was a map of his country, and it was much more detailed than the map he used, and he actually marked many place names of places that he had never seen before. Gan Duo sighed, and suddenly his heart sank, and he said secretly: Not good! He intends to annex my Great Tibet, and he must have been planning for a long time! Otherwise, how could I have such a detailed map of Tibet!?

Yang Peng pointed to the big bend in the upper reaches of the Yellow River and said, "The land east of the river is used to exchange these captives. Yang Peng refers to this area, about the same size as Qingtang and Qinghai Lake, in the southeast of Qinghai Lake, in the south of Lanzhou and Xining Prefecture, and Qinfeng Road and Xichuan area.

Gan Duo was taken aback when he saw Yang Peng pointing to that area, and said angrily: "Doesn't King Yan think this request is too much?" Yang Peng smiled: "This is the condition I offered, whether you accept it or not, that's your business." Okay, you don't have to grind here with me, so let's go back and have a good discussion with your emperor and the living Buddha. If the delay is long, the situation changes, and my conditions will also change. ”

Gando felt a little helpless, and he also felt that in the current situation, what he could do was indeed very limited. He bowed to Yang Peng and left. Yang Peng looked at the back of Gan Duo leaving in a hurry, smiling, he was not in a hurry at all, nor was he worried about how the Tubo side would choose, the current initiative was all in his own hands, and it didn't matter how the other party decided.

The carriage left Chengdu and rushed towards Tubo, with dozens of Tibetan cavalry riding horses to guard the side. Ganduo sat in the carriage and recalled Yang Peng's words just now, the eagle falcon's gaze appeared in his mind again, Ganduo couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and couldn't help muttering: "Yang Peng won't let us go of Tubo, what should we do?" Now there are only two ways in front of you, either agree to Yang Peng's conditions and cede Qingtang and the entire Qinghai Lake area, or fight with Yan Yunjun to the end! ”

At this point, I couldn't help frowning, I only felt that it was too humiliating to cede the land and seek peace, not to mention Your Majesty, even I felt unacceptable. But if you don't agree to Yan Yun's conditions, Yan Yunjun will definitely not stop, Yan Yun is sharp, powerful and powerful, can you stop it? Maybe you can stop it, although Yan Yunjun is sharp and brave, but my Great Tubo has a very favorable condition, that is, my Great Tubo is blessed by the Buddha! My Great Tibet is a place favored by gods and Buddhas, and when outsiders come here, let alone fight, even the action will become very difficult!

What Ganduo was thinking about was actually the phenomenon of thin air in Tibet due to the high altitude, and people who had lived in low altitude areas for a long time suddenly came here, and the physiological system would naturally be very uncomfortable, so there would often be various pathological reactions, which modern society called altitude sickness. However, in this era thousands of years ago, science and technology were backward, and people in Tibetan areas naturally did not understand the truth that high altitude would cause thin air and thus affect people's bodies, but when they saw people from other places, they often had symptoms such as physical discomfort as soon as they came to Tibet, while the people of Tibet themselves, from the emperor and the living Buddha to the slaves of the people, did not have any discomfort as usual, and they could not think of a reason, so they naturally thought that their gods and Buddhas were protecting this area, and this area was a place outside the world that the gods and Buddhas gave them exclusively.

Thinking of this, Gando couldn't help but smile, folded his hands, and bowed reverently. Straightened up and muttered, "My Great Tubo is blessed by gods and demons, so I don't have to worry too much about Yan Yunjun!" Although my Great Tubo can't compete with the Yan Yun Army, the Yan Yun Army can't really pose any threat to my Great Tubo! At this point, it was as if the worry that the boulder had pressed on his heart disappeared. Gando leaned back against the wall of the carriage and closed his eyes, ready to rest.

Just as Gando seemed to wake up and not sleep, it felt as if there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves galloping from far and near, and at the same time someone kept shouting: "Great victory! Victory on the front line! General Yang has broken through Qingtang! ……”

Gando heard the content of the shout clearly, woke up in shock, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to look, just in time to see a herald with a signal flag on his back galloping over, shouting freely, and soon he couldn't hear clearly, and the pedestrians and merchants on both sides of the official road stopped to watch, and talked about it, and everyone showed joy. Gando frowned and asked his captain of the guard, "Did you hear that?" The captain of the guard frowned and nodded, and said, "I heard it, it was said that Yang Yanzhao had broken through Qingtang!" ”

Gando frowned and said, "I heard you right! How is this possible? Then he said to the captain of the guard: "You go back to Chengdu immediately and inquire about what is going on?" The captain of the guard promised, and as soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, he turned the horse's head and galloped towards Chengdu. At this time, the group was not very far away from Chengdu, and they could faintly see the city buildings and houses in Chengdu hidden in the green color of the mountains.

Soon after, the captain of the convoy returned. Gando ordered the team to stop, lifted the curtains, and asked, "How is it?" Have you made inquiries clearly? The captain of the guard nodded palely and said, "Yanyun officially issued an announcement saying that Yang Yanzhao broke through Qingtang two days ago!" Qingtang, Qingtang has really been attacked! ”

Gando was at a loss, those previous thoughts disappeared all of a sudden, and he suddenly felt that it seemed that this time the Buddha would not be able to protect the Great Tibet! After thinking for a moment, he said to the captain of the guard, "Let's go back!" The captain of the guard asked in surprise, "Go back?" Ganduo frowned and said: "Now the situation has changed, and Yang Peng's attitude may have also changed." We must listen to his conditions again, or else will this trip be in vain? The captain of the guard nodded. The group turned around on the spot and returned to Chengdu. As soon as Gan Duo returned to Chengdu, he couldn't take a break, so he went to see Yang Peng, Yang Peng met with him, and said: "I won't talk nonsense, you Tubo want peace and capture, so you will exchange the land east of the Zhequ River!" "The Zhequ River is now the Jinsha River, here by the way, the Tibet region of this era, and the modern society of the Tibet region is not the same, in this era, most of the western Sichuan region in the later generations belonged to Tibet, almost west of Chengdu not far west of the Qionglai Mountain is the territory of Tibet.

When Gan Duo heard Yang Peng's conditions, he secretly complained in his heart, knowing that whatever he said was useless, so he said that he would immediately convey King Yan's conditions to His Majesty the Emperor. Then he saluted. ……

In the dead of night, Yang Peng was still in the study to review the official documents, which were all reports on the situation in other areas of Yanyun forwarded from Tianjing New Town, and there were some important matters that asked Yang Peng for decision. Although Yang Peng has delegated a lot of power, there are still many things that need him to make decisions. ……

Luo Yanran and Anqian suddenly appeared not far away, distributing food to the refugees, and the refugees were extremely grateful, and thanked them one after another: "Thank you, princess!" ......" Yang Peng smiled slightly, raised his feet and walked over. At this moment, a group of black-clothed masked people suddenly appeared, killing people when they saw them, and the cries and shouts suddenly broke out, and the scene became chaotic. Yang Peng was taken aback when he saw this scene and hurriedly rushed forward. Suddenly, several black-clothed people rushed in front of Luo Yanran and An Qian, slashing and slashing, the flying blood stained his face red, Yang Peng only felt his head explode, and shouted: "No! ……”

Yang Peng screamed and opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that he was still in the study of the palace, it was still a silent night, and the lights on the bookcase were gently moving.

There was a rush of footsteps at the door, and a large group of hidden killer knives rushed in in a panic, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Yang Peng was still sitting behind the bookcase unharmed. Just now they were guarding outside, and suddenly heard the scream of King Yan from the study, and they were so frightened that they couldn't think about it, so they hurriedly pulled out their horizontal knives and rushed in, fortunately nothing happened, and King Yan was safe and sound.

Wang Kai clenched his fists and asked, "Master, what's wrong?" Yang Peng waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just a dream." Everyone was completely relieved, and they all felt that King Yan was probably too tired! Wang Kai hugged his fists and said: "King Yan, it's getting late, please rest early!" ”

Yang Peng flipped through the official document in front of him and said, "I'll look at it for a while, you guys go down." The crowd clenched their fists and retreated. Yang Peng flipped through the official document absentmindedly, but in his mind he was recalling the scene in the dream, although it was just a dream, but in retrospect, it was terrifying. Chen Xiao closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, he always felt palpitations in his heart, and he couldn't let go.

There was footsteps at the door. Chen Xiao thought it was Wang Kai again, and shouted angrily: "Didn't you tell you to go down, why did you come in again?" The footsteps stopped, and Yan Ji's voice came: "The subordinates obey the order." ”

Yang Peng hurriedly raised his head, and when he saw that Yan Ji was about to leave, he hurriedly said, "Don't go, don't go!" Yan Ji stopped, looked at Yang Peng, frowned slightly, and asked, "King Yan's face is very bad, is there something troublesome!" Yang Peng shook his head and said, "It's nothing." He glanced at Yan Ji and asked, "You came to see me late at night, there must be something important, right?" Yan Ji said: "There are some things, but it doesn't matter how much. I have just received a summons from the subordinates of 'Hua Xu', and they have wiped out many remnants of the warrior resistance in various places, and at the same time discovered some secret warehouses, including an armory! ”

Yang Peng nodded and said, "These scholars have been operating in Sichuan for hundreds of years, and they are really big trees with deep roots!" Yan Ji said: "Our people have found many clues in the process of killing, and I have ordered people to track them down." In addition, I also learned an important situation from the captives, and the remaining resistance forces are currently led by Mo Lun's son, Mo Haotian. ”

"Mo Haotian?"

Yan Ji nodded and said, "Based on all aspects of the situation, this Mo Haotian is not simple. Although he was born in a wealthy family, he had been wandering in the rivers and lakes until he was fifteen years old, learning a superb martial arts from Yiren, and had been hidden in the dark for several years, secretly controlling many underworld forces to serve the three major families, and many mysterious big cases that happened in Sichuan in the past can now be confirmed to be done by this Mo Haotian led by the underworld forces. He planned the prisoner robbery operation not long ago, but that operation not only failed to succeed, but caused Mo Haotian to lose most of his elite subordinates.

Yang Peng frowned and said, "There is still such a force, why haven't you heard Tu Lou talk about it?" Yan Ji said: "It's no wonder that he is not to blame." Mo Haotian's forces are not to mention Tulou, and even the core high-level leaders within the three major families know very few people, if it weren't for our latest raid that captured a cronie around Mo Haotian, at this moment, we probably still think that the forces that are vaguely against us are just some remnants of the warrior clan who are unwilling to accept reality. ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Interesting. Yan Ji said: "According to various indications, this Mo Haotian is actively gathering the people who are dissatisfied with us among the various clans, but he may not have expected that our assault will be so swift, so that he not only failed to gather the remnants of the forces in various places as he wished, but also suffered heavy losses himself!" But even so, this Mo Haotian must not be taken lightly! I feel that this person is very dangerous and should be eliminated as soon as possible! ”

Yang Peng nodded, looked at Yan Ji, and said, "You are responsible for this matter!" "Yes!" Yan Ji hugged her fists and promised.

Yang Peng asked, "Do you still need any help?" Yan Ji said: "Not for the time being." In fact, if there are no unexpected circumstances, 'Huaxu' should be able to solve the problem. Yang Peng nodded, thought about it, took up the pen and wrote a letter, and then picked up the small seal he carried with him and stamped a vermilion seal on the letter. Put down the seal, pick up the letter and hand it to Yan Ji, "You take this." Yan Ji stepped forward, took it, looked at it, and showed surprise, "...... is this?" Yang Peng said: "You can use this letter to mobilize official forces from all over the world to assist you." Yan Ji folded the letter, put it in her belt, and hugged her fists and said, "Thank you King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng smiled: "I should thank you very much!" Then he thought of the dream he had just had, and couldn't help but worry, and asked Yan Ji, "Do you know where Miss Luo and Miss An are now?" ”

Yan Ji felt a little strange: "Why is King Yan so anxious, how long has it been since they were separated!" Thinking like this, I couldn't help but feel a feeling in my heart that I had never felt before, sour, as if I had drunk a lot of vinegar. Yan Ji was startled and quickly shook her head.

Yang Peng saw Yan Ji shaking his head, thinking that she didn't know, and asked puzzledly, "Why don't you know?" "Today's 'Hua Xu' can be said to have penetrated into all aspects of Sichuan, and generally speaking, there should be nothing Hua Xu doesn't know.

Yan Ji came back to her senses and realized that Yang Peng had misunderstood, so she hurriedly said, "No." Well, I know the whereabouts of those two young ladies. Yang Peng saw that Yan Ji's expression and speech were strange, and he was a little inexplicable. I only heard Yan Ji say: "According to the news received recently, the two young ladies should be in Langzhou at the moment. "Langzhou, which is now Langzhong, Sichuan.

Yang Peng then asked, "There is no problem, right?" Yan Ji thought he was asking about the return of the migrated refugees, and said: "All localities are acting in accordance with the instructions of King Yan in an orderly manner, the refugees are returning to their hometowns in an organized and orderly manner, and the officials along the way have arranged resting places and food, although the flow of people is very amazing, but there are no major problems!" The two young ladies are really indispensable! ”

Yang Peng said: "I'm not asking about this matter, I'm asking about Miss Luo and Miss An haven't encountered any danger, right?" Yan Ji was a little surprised, and said, "The two young ladies are protected by secret guards and protected by people and horses sent by local officials, how can they be in danger?" Even if Mo Haotian and the others were desperate, it would be difficult to hurt the two young ladies. What's more, even if Mo Haotian and the others want to make a desperate bet, they will probably not do anything against the two young ladies, because that will not do any good except for being able to vent their anger a little! ”

Yang Peng felt that what she said made sense, but when he thought of the scene in the dream, it was difficult to calm down. Thinking that now that Sichuan has been pacified, there is no major matter to deal with, so I want to rush to Langzhou to have a look, after having that nightmare, Yang Peng can't feel at ease if he doesn't see the two daughters safe and sound. Yang Peng raised his head, looked at Yan Ji, and said, "I decided to go to Langzhou, you prepare and go with me." Yan Ji felt a burst of jealousy in her heart, hugged her fists and promised, and then retreated.

Early the next morning, Yang Peng left Yu Qing and Zhan Jinguo and other generals to sit in Chengdu, and he himself secretly left Chengdu with two hundred secret guards and one hundred 'Huaxu' troops led by Yan Ji and rushed to Langzhou. Langzhou is more than 300 miles northeast of Chengdu, which is a straight-line distance, but the roads in Sichuan are winding and winding and have to walk more than 500 miles to arrive. The group traveled day and night, and that night, the group and the mount under the crotch were really tired, and Yang Peng had no choice but to order to camp on the spot for a night's rest.

Hundreds of people slept in the wilderness, surrounded by steep peaks that reached into the night sky, and a small river in the distance meandered around the foot of the mountain, reflecting the moonlight, sparkling like a jade belt; A small village sits at the foot of the hill by the river, with smoke curling and lights lit, and the laughter of children and the sound of cows are blown by the night wind.

Yang Peng sat on the hillside and looked at the village and town in the distance, but his thoughts had already flown to Langzhou, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his expression looked a little anxious. Yan Ji came over with a large bowl of fragrant beef soup and a stack of wheat cakes that had just been cooked. Yang Peng couldn't help laughing at himself: "It seems that I am not a wise and independent person!" ”

Yan Ji understood what Yang Peng meant, put the food in front of Yang Peng, and then sat down on the ground. Yang Peng picked up a wheat cake and ate it. Yan Ji glanced at Yang Peng and couldn't help but ask, "Are you so worried about the safety of Miss Luo and Miss An because of a nightmare?" Yang Peng looked at her in surprise and asked, "How do you know that I am worried about them because of a dream?" ”

Yan Ji said: "I remember that night, in the study, I saw you pale and very restless, and you said that you had just a dream. But what kind of character is King Yan, even if he is trapped in thousands of armies, he is regarded as idle, how can he be so out of shape because of a dream?! Later, you became very worried about the safety of Miss Luo and Miss An, and decided to rush to Langzhou early the next morning. There are all kinds of signs that you have nightmares about Miss Luo and Miss An, which is why you are so disturbed! ”

Yang Peng smiled and said half-jokingly: "It seems that I asked you to be the big pavilion leader of 'Hua Xu', I really didn't choose the wrong person!" ”

Yan Ji looked at Yang Peng with shining eyes and said: "King Yan is a great hero who stands up to the sky, and Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his color. But it's unbelievable that a woman who worries about herself so much because of an unbounding dream! Yang Peng looked at Yan Ji and said angrily: "Are you praising me or am you hurting me?" Yan Ji looked away, snorted, and said, "Whatever you want!" Then he frowned and said, "You care so much about your own woman, I'm afraid that you will become a weakness that will be taken advantage of!" ”

Yang Peng pulled out the dagger, put a piece of beef in the bowl and took a bite, and said lightly: "If anyone dares to take advantage of my weakness, I will let him know what hell is like!" ”

Yan Ji's heart sank, looked at Yang Peng, and couldn't help but say: "The dragon has reverse scales, and those who touch it will die!" Yang Peng looked at Yan Ji and said, "Miss Yan, I think there should be a change of name between the two of us." I call you Miss Yan, you call me King Yan, it's too raw, why don't you call me big brother, and I call you Xiao Ji? Yan Ji was greatly annoyed, Huo Ran got up, although she was wearing a black scarf on her face, she could still clearly feel that her face was red, only to see her exclaim angrily: "It's hard to hear, I don't want it!" ”

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