At about the same time, at Shinra, the news of Karn's defeat and retreat to the Aral Sea shocked the whole country. People were shocked and extremely angry at the same time, and the clamor for revenge against the Ming Dynasty was loud throughout the country.

At the court meeting, a resolution was also unanimously adopted on the comprehensive use of troops against the Ming Dynasty, but the time for a full-scale attack was positioned after the England problem was resolved. At present, more than 300,000 main forces of the HRE are attacking England with the cooperation of a main fleet, although there are some obstacles, but not long ago the HRE army has captured London, and it should only be a matter of time before the whole of England is swept away.

After the court council, Catherine and the female guard returned to the back. The Holy Emperor's female guard couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect Karn to be defeated so badly, and it was almost the same as the total annihilation!" What a piece of rubbish! ”

Catherine glanced at the Holy Emperor's Guardess, and said lightly, "Although Karn is not a famous general, he is definitely not a waste. The reason why this battle was so miserable was completely because their opponents were too tough! I have said a long time ago that the Ming Army is not only as fierce as a tiger and wolf, but also as cunning as a fox, but some people don't believe it! ”

The Holy Emperor's female guard frowned and said, "In my impression, the Huaxia people are all very cowardly, why is this Huaxia person not like that at all?" ”

Catherine shook her head and said, "The Chinese have never been cowardly, but their kind of Confucian questioning gives people a feeling of cowardice. I often think that maybe it is precisely because the Chinese people are so fierce that there is such an inexplicable idea of Confucianism to balance it. Now that the Ming Emperor has abolished Confucianism, it is like a tiger and wolf who have finally untied their shackles, and they have completely exposed their bloodthirsty minions! Thinking that they can be defeated easily is simply a fool's dream! ”

The female guard said, "Maybe you have a point. By the way, the representative of the Holy Emperor is here. ”

When Catherine heard this, she hurried towards the small meeting room in the garden of the palace. When I came to the conference room, I saw a middle-aged man in his sixties with a sturdy physique and a gray beard sitting there drinking tea.

The Holy Emperor's Female Guard closed the door. Catherine walked over to the middle-aged man and sat down, "Your Excellency, I don't know what you want to do when you come suddenly?" ”

The man glanced at Catherine and said, "I'm here to tell you that the Holy Emperor is already impatient, and the voice of sending troops directly has prevailed. ”

Catherine frowned, "Your Excellency, I have explained this matter to the Holy Emperor many times, the assessment has not yet been completed, and the consequences of sending troops directly are unpredictable, so it is better to solve the problem with the army of this era." ”

The man said: "Actually, I don't think there is any need to continue to evaluate, I'm afraid it's not the Shenluo who solves the Da Ming, but the Da Ming who suppresses the Shenluo!" Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the HRE has the ability to solve the Great Ming, we don't have so much time to wait, we urgently need endless support! ”

The man was not angry, and said, "Only the victor is qualified to judge who is a hero and who is a coward!" The interests of the country are paramount, and everything else is nothing. Then she stood up, and so did Catherine.

Catherine said, "Your Excellency, please convey my opinion to the Cabinet." ”

The man nodded, "I will." Don't get your hopes up, though. With that, she bowed slightly to Catherine and left the conference room.

Catherine sat down, her brow furrowed.

The Holy Emperor's Female Guard glanced at Catherine and asked puzzledly, "What are you worried about?" I think Your Excellency is right when you say that what we do in this day and age will have no impact on our own future, it will just create another parallel time and space! ”

Catherine sighed and did not speak.

The Holy Emperor's Female Guard said: "No matter what you want, in short, the cabinet has decided, and you can't change anything." Catherine said angrily, "I naturally know that I don't need you to remind me." ”

The Holy Emperor's Female Guard said, "There is another matter that you need to decide as soon as possible. Just now, while you were talking to Your Excellency, Generalissimo Kahn and Generalissimo Bona sent a joint letter from the flying pigeon, asking for support. How should this matter be decided? ”

Catherine pondered, "Karn's command is almost completely annihilated, and although the army brought by Bona is large, it is all a servant army, and I am afraid that there will be no chance of victory against the Great Ming Tiger Wolf." It is true that more troops and horses should be sent. Then he said to the female guard: "Go and call the prime minister to me." The female guard answered and hurried away.

Look back to the eastern shore of the Aral Sea. Karn and Bonner had anxiously waited for events in the East since they had plundered the Aral Sea and driven the people of the Aral Sea to the East. According to the estimation of the two, after so many refugees are driven over, it should not be long before chaos will occur in the Khorezm Sea area, and it is even very likely that it will be extended to the entire Western Liao region.

Time passed day by day, and on this day finally came news from the east: "Your Excellency the two marshals, there is no chaos near the Khorezm Sea. ……”

Karn and Bonner looked incredulous, and Karn said, "How is this possible? How could there be no confusion? Then his heart moved, "Could it be that Daming accepted those refugees?" Haha, this is good, this will inevitably cause the Ming army to lack food and grass, I believe that it will not be long before we do not need to attack, they will have to evacuate! ”

The officer who came to report the news said, "No. Although the Ming army built many refugee camps to receive and take care of refugees, they did not use their own military rations, but robbed the local nobles of money and food as the cost of taking care of the refugees! ”

Karn and Bohner looked at each other, unable to speak for a moment. Bona smiled wryly; "It seems that our deliberate plan has not worked at all! Alas, I was also dizzy that I would agree to this plan! This strategy is not only useless, but it has completely lost the hearts and minds of the people around the Aral Sea! Seeing that Boehner's words seemed to put the blame on himself, Kahn couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart, and thought to himself: You are the commander-in-chief, if you think it is inappropriate, why didn't you say it at that time? Now that he is saying such things, it is clear that he wants to put the blame on me.

At this moment, an officer hurried in and presented a letter of flying pigeons to Bona, saying, "Your Excellency, Your Majesty has sent a flying pigeon herald. ”

Bona hurriedly took the summons, opened it and read it, and then said happily: "Your Majesty has agreed to send reinforcements to us, and the reinforcements will arrive in about a month!" ”

Karn couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, and then asked, "I wonder where Your Majesty sent reinforcements?" ”

Bona said: "Your Majesty has sent troops stationed on the Roman side, as well as an army formed by the surrender of the Italian countries, with a total strength of 400,000. ”

Karn nodded and muttered, "We will hold out for at least a month, and I hope the Ming people will not attack within a month." ”

Bona laughed: "Don't worry. The Ming people have just experienced a big battle, and they can't recover so quickly to attack! Even if you come to attack, you don't have to worry at all! We have an army of more than 100,000 people, relying on favorable terrain to defend, no matter how impossible it is! "At present, the HRE side has set up five large camps on the eastern and northern shores of the Aral Sea, two on the northern shore and three on the eastern shore. None of the camps were fenced with logs on the shores of the Aral Sea, sharpened and deeply inserted into the soil, and the bottom was reinforced with large stones, so that even the ramblings could hardly shake it; A deep trench was dug around the perimeter of the fence, filled with bamboo sticks, and the outside of the trench was densely covered with staggered tree trunks that had been cut down to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp directly. Although these five camps are not necessarily impregnable, they are definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack. More than 500,000 troops of the HRE were stationed in these five camps.

Just as Karn Bonner was about to hold on wholeheartedly, a sudden messenger changed their minds.

That night, just as Bona was about to rest, his own soldiers came to report that a man had come outside, and that all the urgent military information was to be seen by His Excellency the Grand Marshal.

Bona asks who the person is and what is going on. The soldier said: "The other party refuses to speak, and he will not say it until he sees Your Excellency." ”

Bona felt a little strange, but felt that maybe there was really some urgent military situation, so he said to his soldiers, "Bring him in." ”

The soldier said yes and ran down, and a moment later led in a young man dressed as a local. As soon as the visitor saw the majestic Bona, his eyes immediately lit up, and he bowed: "Villain, the secret envoy of Yelu Yi Lie meets His Excellency!" "It's in the HRE language.

When Bona heard the name of Jereil, his face was full of anger and he exclaimed, "How dare he send someone!" Don't he know what betrayal of the empire is? ”

The secret envoy hurriedly explained: "Your Excellency is angry, in fact, we adults are also forced to do so! On that day, Generalissimo Karn was almost wiped out by the Ming people, and seeing that we were about to die and lose our lives, we had no choice but to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and the snake to save our lives! ”

Boehner nodded, "The situation you said is quite understandable. He glanced at him, "What emergency military situation are you here?" ”

The secret envoy hurriedly said: "The villain has specially come to contact your Excellency on the order of my family. Although my family surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he is in Cao Ying's heart in Han! My family doesn't want to abandon the darkness and serve the empire all the time! My family ordered the villain to come, hoping to cooperate with the imperial army to defeat the Ming Dynasty completely! ”

Bona's heart moved, smiled, and said, "How can I trust you Lord Yelu Yilie who suddenly defected to the empire and suddenly betrayed the empire?" ”

The secret envoy said: "Your Excellency, our lord originally planned to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly. But I didn't expect that Yang Peng would not be merciful at all, and he would not reward the merits of my family's adults, and he actually forced the adults to hand over most of the land and money and grain! My family is already cold, and I vow to deal with Daming to the end! That's why my family will send a villain to contact you, so that you can work together to drive Yan Yunjun out of the Khorezm Sea area! ”

When Bona heard this, he couldn't help but believe in his heart, it has always been people who die for money, birds die for food, and Yelu Yilie was robbed of most of his property by the Ming side, and the resentment in his heart can be imagined. Bona asked, "What are your plans to join me in and out?" ”

The secret envoy hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, although my family has been plundered by Da Ming most of the property, but because of Yelu Guifei, he still has Yang Peng's trust. He had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and he could freely enter and exit the battalions. My lord's plan is that in the middle of the night five days later, he will open the camp gate of the Black Mountain military camp, and at that time, Your Excellency will lead the elite of the HRE to enter in one fell swoop! No matter how strong the Ming army is, it will definitely be defeated! ”

Bona thought about it, felt that this plan was feasible, and couldn't help but nodded, "Very good." He looked at the envoy and asked, "What do you adults want in return?" ”

The secret envoy hurriedly said: "My family adults don't dare to have the slightest delusion, they just want to let my family master still rule the Khorezm Sea and its surrounding areas as before. ”

Without hesitation, Bona said: "This matter is easy to do. As long as he can help the imperial army defeat the Ming people, more benefits, Her Majesty the Empress will also reward him! ”

The secret envoy said happily: "In this way, I will thank His Excellency the Marshal for my family!" ”

Boehner said: "Go back and tell your lordship, just say that I agreed with his suggestion, and there is no need to worry about the things he cares about." The time for the attack is set for the middle of the night in five days, he must not miss the appointment, this is his last chance, if he plays any tricks, the door of the empire will be closed for him forever in the future! ”

The secret envoy agreed and then withdrew.

Bona thought for a moment, and ordered his soldiers to call Karn. As soon as Bona saw Karn, he told him what had just happened, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Karn sneered, "What a dog minion! He betrayed me like this before, otherwise the Montenegrin camp would never have been occupied by the Ming army so easily! ”

Bona laughed: "Dog slaves are sometimes very useful!" Then he asked, "What do you think about this?" This Jereh doesn't know how to play any tricks, right? ”

Karn pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "Probably not." This dog minion surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, not only for his life, but also for the reward of the Ming Dynasty. But he didn't expect that there was no reward, but almost all his original land and property were taken away by the Ming people! The anger in his heart is understandable! ”

Bona asked, "Do you mean by this that you agree with Jereile?" ”

Karn said, "I just think that what the envoy said should be reliable, and it is up to Your Excellency to decide what to do." After all, Your Excellency is the commander of the army! ”

Boehner cursed the 'old fox' in his stomach, and then thought: "If we don't seize this opportunity, how can we turn defeat into victory?" What's more, Yang Peng would never have thought that his wife's relatives would betray him so soon! In this battle, we have already occupied ninety percent of the winning side, there is no reason to retreat! I decided to do it! ”

Jerod's morning was as busy as ever in the camp. Jereil suddenly led his servants into the camp with a dozen carts of grain. Immediately, Yelu Yilie ordered his subordinates to hand over the grain to the officials in charge, and then went to visit his aunt Yelu Hanyu: "Aunt! ”

Yelu Hanyu glanced at the lot of grain he had brought and teased: "I'm not mistaken, could it be that the sun is coming out in the west?" ”

Yelu Yilie hurriedly said, "My aunt made fun of it." I feel that I am now a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, and I have to contribute to the empire and His Majesty! Since His Majesty needed food and grass to settle these refugees, I simply sent a few thousand loads of grain left at home. It's not much, but it's always a piece of my heart! ”

Yelu Hanyu felt very relieved, and nodded: "It's very good that you can think so!" Then he smiled and said, "In this way, I, as an aunt, can rest assured." ”

Jereil asked, "Don't you know that there is still a shortage of food?" If there is still a shortage, it is up to me to persuade the nobles to take out all the food in stock. ”

Yelu Hanyu smiled and waved his hand, "No need! Enough is enough! Leave a little for them too, otherwise I'm afraid someone will rebel! ”

Yelu Yilie hurriedly said, "Auntie said this! Our Ming Dynasty is so strong, Your Majesty is so wise and martial, who has eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard dares to rebel! ”

Yelu Hanyu said: "Don't talk about this. He glanced at Yelu Yilie, "You are now an officer of the Ming Army, you don't have to always run to me, and do a good job of the tasks assigned by Your Majesty or General Yang Yanzhao." Yelu Yilie bowed and agreed, and then said, "If my aunt has no orders, I will take my leave." Yelu Hanyu smiled: "You go and do your business, I don't have time to greet you." Jereil answered, and departed.

Jerod's cold rain began to get busy again. However, at this moment, she did not see it, and her nephew Yelu Yilie turned to look at her, and his eyes were full of the fierce expression of the Yin Owl.

Jereil left the camp and returned to his barracks. Yelu Yilie led the remnants to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, so Yang Peng ordered him to still command the old army, and there were 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command. The army was stationed in a forest in Montenegro and the Sea of Khorezm.

When Jereh entered the tent, he saw his old acquaintance Jerod and a beautiful woman sitting very uneasily.

When Yeluzhong saw Yeluyiel coming in, he hurriedly stood up and asked Yeluyilie, "You, what are you going to do with us?" At this moment, the beautiful woman beside Jeluzhong also stood up.

Yelu Yilie walked to the top and sat down, glanced at the beauty, looked at Yeluzhong again, and teased: "Uncle Huang, you are really a good fortune!" When Jerod heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and didn't speak.

Yelu Yi said: "Uncle Huang, please sit, Niangniang, please sit too." ”

The two of them did not know what kind of medicine was sold in Yelu Yilie's gourd, and sat down uneasily.

Yeluzhong couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to hand us over to the Ming Emperor?" Then he pleaded: "I beg you to read the love between your uncle and nephew, don't hand us over to the Ming Emperor, just give us a cup of poisonous wine, and finish us here!" The beautiful woman's face turned pale, and she hurriedly pleaded with Yeluyi, "My good nephew, can't you save our lives?" ”

Jeremiah said, "You two don't have to be nervous. If I had the intention of harming you, I would not have let people secretly bring you to my barracks. The two of them were stunned, and the secretary showed a look of surprise on his face, and the beauty asked urgently: "You, are you willing to save us?" ”

Jereil nodded, "That's exactly what I thought. ”

The two of them only felt as if they had come back from a circle of the ghost gate, and they were overjoyed, and hurriedly stood up and kowtowed to thank them.

Yelu Yilie honestly and unceremoniously received a few of their heads, and then said: "Although I have the heart to save you, you also have to save yourself to have a way to live!" Otherwise, I have a heart, and I am afraid that this life will not be saved. ”

Jeruzhong hurriedly asked, "How can we save ourselves?" Then he couldn't wait to say: "As long as we can let the two of us survive, what to do is up to you." ”

Yelu Yi said: "I will hand you over to Yang Peng." ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces turned pale. The beautiful woman said angrily and in fear: "You, didn't you say that you wanted to save us? Why hand us over to Yang Peng again? Could it be that all the words just said were intended to entertain us? Jeluzhong also looked annoyed.

Jereil laughed, and then whispered his plan.

The two were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and Yeluzhong asked very worriedly, "Can this be done?" ”

Yelu Yilie said confidently: "Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem in this matter. All you have to do is do what you are told. When it happens, I'll let you two spend the rest of your lives well. The two of them are now fish on the chopping board, where else can they say anything, they can only nod and agree.

Later that day, Yang Peng, who was in the camp in Montenegro, received a report from Yelu Yilie, saying that he had captured the pair of adulterers ** in Yelu and more than 1,000 of his henchmen, and requested that they be escorted to the camp to wait for their fate.

Yan Ji said angrily: "This Yelu Yilie is also doing this too much!" He detained those people in his own camp, why did he bring them to the Montenegrin camp? ”

The person who came to report the news hurriedly said: "Back to Niangniang, our lord said that Yeluzhong seems to know the whereabouts of a treasure, and thinks that His Majesty should want to know about this matter, so he hopes that the relevant people will be escorted to the camp and sent by His Majesty himself." ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Treasure? I didn't expect that! In that case, let's do as Yelu Zhong thinks, and let him send someone to bring all the people of Yelu to the camp of Montenegro. The person who came said yes and immediately retreated.

Yan Ji said angrily: "I actually pulled out the treasure!" ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "If there is really such a treasure, it would be good!" Yan Ji glanced at her lover and said angrily: "Husband, you are crazy about money!" Yang Peng smiled.

At this moment, an officer rushed in, presented a letter to Yang Peng, and said, "Your Majesty, this is a letter sent by Yelu Niangniang's subordinates. ”

Yang Peng took the letter and waved the officer away. Yan Ji stood aside and teased: "It's only been a long time since we were separated, and I actually used letters to spread love!" ”

Yang Peng opened the letter and read it. smiled and said to Yan Ji: "I guessed wrong immediately this time, Mei'er's letter didn't confide in me, but about Yelu Yilie." ”

Yan Ji was stunned, "Say him?" Say what he does? ”

Yang Peng looked at the letter and said with a smile: "Mei'er praised him for his loyalty and diligence, and he can take on great responsibilities!" Yan Ji said angrily: "Yelu is such a smart person, how can he be deceived by him!" ”

Yang Peng folded the letter and put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "This person, no matter who he is, will have such and such shortcomings." Although Mei'er is smart, she can't keep a clear head in terms of family affection. It's a bad thing, but it's also a good thing. ”

Yan Ji asked curiously, "Does the husband also have shortcomings?" ”

Yang Peng smiled, "Of course." Your husband is not a fairy, how can there be no shortcomings! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "You are Aifujun, that's why you say so!" Holding Yan Ji's slender hand, "Actually, your husband and I's biggest flaw is that I love my wife and children!" Thankfully, no one has been able to catch my shortcomings so far! Yan Ji glanced at her lover angrily.

Near noon the next day, Jereil personally led 10,000 soldiers and horses to escort more than 1,000 captives to the camp in Montenegro. Soon after, the men and horses arrived in front of the main camp gate, and were inspected by the camp captain and released. As soon as the people entered the camp, someone led the soldiers and horses of Jeruiel to escort the prisoners to a place in the barracks, and Yeluiel himself and a few hidden guards escorted Yeluzhong and the beautiful woman into the big tent.

As soon as Yeluzhong and the woman saw the majestic young man sitting on the top of the throne, they couldn't help but fall to their knees with weak legs, kowtow and beg for mercy: "Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life!" ”

Yang Peng looked at the two people lying on the ground in embarrassment and horror, and couldn't help but sigh: "Why bother when you knew today!" The two were speechless.

Yang Peng said: "Seeing that the two of you are also very hard, let's rest for one night first and talk about it tomorrow." Then he ordered them to be taken down.

Yan Ji couldn't help but scold: "Adulterer, ** dog man and woman!" ”

Yang Peng smiled. Then he said to Yeluyi: "You have done a good job in this matter. Yelu Yilie hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" Wechen just did what he did! ”

Yang Peng smiled slightly and asked, "What's going on with that so-called treasure thing?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen also learned about it by chance. This matter also starts with my father, Yelu Longqing, the founding emperor of Western Liao. At that time, Yelu Longqing led his troops all the way to the west, broke through many countries, and obtained immeasurable treasures. In view of the lessons of the destruction of the Koreans, Yelu Longqing decided to bury these treasures and wait until the empire was really in danger in the future to recruit troops to fight against foreign enemies! ”

Yan Ji asked, "Why haven't I heard you talk about this before?" ”

Yelu Yilie hurriedly explained: "Back to Niangniang, Weichen only learned about this after capturing Yeluzhong and his men. Wechen didn't expect that the minister's father would hide such a big secret from Wechen! According to Yeluzhong's confession, it seems that only my father, Yelu Longqing, Yelu Hongjun, and he Yeluzhong, know about this matter. All the other people involved in this are no longer in this world. ”

Yan Ji sneered: "Kill people? What a solution! ”

Yelu Yilie didn't know how to answer this, so he pretended not to hear it, and said: "When Weichen heard this, he only felt that it was very important, so he tried every possible way to ask the truth, but Yeluzhong just refused to confide, and only said that he wanted to ask His Majesty to say it naturally." Wei Chen estimated that he might want to exchange this for forgiveness from His Majesty! ”

Yang Peng smiled: "Whether you forgive him or not, it's up to me to decide." "Jereh bowed;" Be. Then he asked: "Your Majesty, it's not early now, can you let Weichen and his subordinates rest here for a night, and then return to the camp tomorrow?" ”

Yang Peng said: "This is a trivial matter, you will stay here for one night, and then set off early tomorrow morning." ”

When Yelu Yilie heard this, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic in his heart, and he only felt that his plan was half the success. Qiang suppressed the excitement in his heart, did not show the slightest strangeness on his face, and after thanking him, he left the big tent.

As soon as Jereil returned to his tent, he immediately gathered several of his close generals to discuss secretly.

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