Sun Tong led his 300 soldiers and horses out of the city overnight and rushed to Yuhe County in the wind and snow. An hour later, the team arrived at the gate of Yuhe County. Sun Tong ordered his officers to call the door, and the officers shouted: "Yanyun Sixteen
Prefecture Supervisor Sun Tongsun, Lord, if you want to enter the city, please open the city gate quickly." Seeing this, the school captain guarding the gate raised his voice and said: "The time to open the door has passed, I forgive you for not obeying the order."
Sun Tong was furious. He pointed his riding whip at the captain on the city wall and yelled: "You, a little captain, dare to resist the orders of my supervisor. You must have committed the crime of beheading! Open the city gate immediately.
I can just forget about it, if you hesitate again, I will punish you for defying military orders!"
"I'm sorry, Lord Supervisor. The General has an order. After dusk, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city without the order of the General. The military orders are on my side, and I don't dare to disobey orders! If the Lord Supervisor wants to enter the city, please wait until dawn.
Come again!”
Sun Tong was furious, but had no way to vent. The confidant next to him whispered: "Sir, the other party is making things so difficult, obviously what the informant letter said is true!" Sun Tong nodded, glanced at the city wall, and said harshly:
"We must enter the city tonight no matter what!" He turned to his officers and soldiers and ordered: "Come on, open the door for me!" Three hundred officers and soldiers agreed in unison, ran to the city wall and started to knock on the door. All of these officers and soldiers were very angry.
This is because the other party, a small captain, dared not to take the Lord Supervisor seriously.
The torches and figures on the city wall flashed rapidly, and then something happened that was beyond the expectations of Sun Tong and others. The opponent actually dropped rolling stones and wood and shot with bows and arrows! The three hundred officers and soldiers did not expect that the opponent would dare to take action, and they were caught off guard and suffered many casualties.
The remaining people hurriedly fled the city gate and rushed back to Sun Tong, all of them in shock. Sun Tong shouted angrily: "Are you going to rebel?"
The captain said: "Of course we will not rebel, but the military orders are as strong as the mountain. Anyone who dares to resist the general's military orders is a rebel and will be killed without mercy!" Sun Tong was furious to death. Just when Sun Tong was at a loss, a group of more than a thousand people
The cavalry came rushing from the direction of Shangjing in the wind and snow. The people below the city turned their heads to look. As they came closer, they saw Chen Xiao leading more than a thousand cavalry.
Yang Peng led the cavalry to Sun Tong and asked: "Master Sun, what is going on?" Sun Tong pointed to the many corpses at the gate of the city and asked angrily: "Master Yang, I want to ask you this
What's going on? Not only did the people on the city wall not let us in, they openly attacked us! What kind of behavior is this? This is rebellion!"
Yang Peng said: "Although this area of the ground has been recovered, bandits are rampant. Therefore, I ordered all the cities. After dusk, no one is allowed to enter or exit without my order. It must be that the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate did not let them go. Mr. Sun relied on
Guan Wei wanted to rush in, so there was a conflict! My officers and soldiers were not at fault in this matter!"
Sun Tong said coldly: "Master Yang is so clever! Since Master Yang gave such an order, why didn't the city gate guards in Shangjing stop us from leaving? I think there is clearly a ghost in Yuhe County! Master Yang,
To be honest, I received a secret report saying that you hid most of the materials seized from Shangjing in Yuhe County. I am here to investigate this matter tonight. Mr. Yang, how do you explain this matter?"
Yang Peng was secretly shocked and said calmly: "This is obviously a rumor. How could Lord Sun believe the rumors so easily?" Sun Tong sneered and pointed at Yuhe County, "Since it is a rumor, please ask Lord Yang to order the city gate to be opened.
Let's go in and take a closer look, then it will be clear whether it is true or false." Yang Peng fell silent.
Sun Tong thought that Yang Peng had nothing to do, and showed a proud smile, "If Mr. Yang thinks that he has no wrongdoing, then order the city gate to be opened." Yang Peng smiled and shouted to the top of the city: "Open the city gate.
Open!" Upon seeing Yang Peng's order, the city gate captain immediately ordered his sergeants to open the city gate. Sun Tong couldn't wait to lead his officers and soldiers into the city gate.
Yang looked at the backs of Sun Tong and others with a cold look in his eyes. He raised his right hand and waved forward. The cavalry immediately drew their swords and swarmed up, surrounding Sun Tong and others in the city and hacking them to death. They screamed loudly.
When the sound rang out, Sun Tong hurriedly turned his head and looked at Yang Peng with a gloomy expression outside the city gate in horror. The city gate was slammed shut, and the sound of slashing and screaming lasted for as long as a stick of incense before it ended.
The city gate opened again, and Chen Xiao and others entered the city gate. They saw Sun Tong and hundreds of his imperial guards all lying in a pool of blood, dying with eyes open. Yang Peng ordered the city gate captain: "Drag all the corpses to the city."
Outside, buried." "Yes." "If anyone asks about what happened tonight, just say that a group of bandits attacked Master Sun and his Imperial Guards, and they were all killed. No one was spared." "Yes."
That night, Yang Peng's brothers received Yang Peng's call and hurried to the lobby of the left-behind mansion. Seeing Yang Peng sitting at the top, they all clasped their fists and said, "Brother."
Yang Peng said: "Everyone, sit down." Everyone sat on the chairs on the left and right sides and came over. Yang Peng said: "Just now, Sun Tong suddenly took people to Yuhe County." All the brothers knew the inside story and ate after hearing this.
Surprised, Duan Zhixian stood up and said urgently: "Go and arrest them immediately!"
Yang Peng waved his hand, "No need. They are all dead." Everyone was stunned, and then understood. Duan Zhixian patted his bald head and said with a smile: "Brother, you did a good job!" Yang Peng said: "This matter needs to be dealt with properly, otherwise
The trouble in the future is not small." After a pause, he said to Zhan Jin Guo: "Jin Guo, you immediately lead your troops to destroy the group of bandits near Xiangshan. Don't leave them alive, and bring their heads to see you." "Yes."
Then Yang Peng said to Liu Zhiliang: "Liu Zhiliang, immediately sent someone to report to the court, saying that the Xiangshan bandits attacked and killed Sun Tong and others on the way. Although our army wiped out the bandits, they were unable to save Sun Tong.
Wait, please ask the court to punish you." "Yes."
Huyan Chijin frowned and said: "We have always kept the matter of materials stored in Yuhe County strictly confidential. How could Sun Tong know about it?" Everyone was also very surprised. Yang Peng stood up and walked to the middle of the lobby, "
Sun Tong once said that he received an informant letter." Everyone was shocked, and Duan Zhixian shouted: "It's not bad, someone actually cheated on me!" As he said that, his tiger eyes scanned everyone present. Yang Jing
He said angrily: "Duan Zhixian, what do you mean by looking at us? Are you doubting us?" Duan Zhixian stared at Yang Jing and said loudly: "Yesterday we were suspicious!" Yang Jing suddenly stood up, pointed at Duan Zhixian and said: "Maybe
It was the monk who told you the secret!"
"What the hell are you talking about? How could yesterday's family snitch on you?" "I can't possibly do it. I think it was you, the guy who did it!" Duan Zhixian was furious and was about to take action, but Zhan Jinguo quickly grabbed him. Yang Peng didn't.
He said angrily: "We are all brothers and treat each other with sincerity. I absolutely believe that no one among the brothers would do such a thing!" Duan Zhixian showed a look of shame, clasped his fists towards Yang Jing and said: "I just said the wrong thing yesterday.
Brother Yang Jing, don't be offended!" Yang Jing also clasped his fists and said, "I was reckless too, monk, don't be offended either!" Duan Zhixian laughed loudly and patted his bald head, "I'm not surprised, don't be surprised!" Then he looked at Yang Peng,
"Brother, who told the secret?"
Yang Peng frowned and thought: "With so many sergeants knowing about this matter, it is possible." After a pause, he said to Yang Xiong and Shi Ping: "You two investigate this matter." The two of them clasped their fists and agreed. Yang Peng warned.
: "This matter is being carried out secretly and should not be made public. I don't want this matter to make people panic. If the investigation cannot reveal the traitor, there is no need to force it." "Yes."
Yang Peng said to Zhang Yan: "Erlang, you will take people to transport the materials stored in Yuhe County tomorrow and transfer them to Wuqing County." "Yes." "Okay, that's it. Let's all go back and rest. I'm so sorry.
, I’m disturbing everyone’s rest.” Everyone laughed, stood up one after another, saluted Yang Peng, and filed away.
Early the next morning, after Yang Peng had breakfast, he went to the study to deal with official documents. Chai Yonghui came in from the outside. Chai Yonghui insisted on staying in Shangjing, so Chai Yongqi had no choice but to let her stay and went back to Dingzhou by himself.
Yang Peng felt someone coming in and raised his head. He saw Chai Yonghui dressed in men's clothes and joked: "Haha, you look very handsome in men's clothes! If I were a girl, I would be fascinated by you!"
Chai Yonghui pursed his lips and smiled. He walked to Yang Peng, looked at the official documents in front of Yang Peng, and asked curiously: "What are they?" Yang Peng smiled and said: "They are all trivial matters. You must not know how to do it.
Interested." Chai Yonghui's mind was obviously not on these things. After a moment of silence, he raised his head and glanced at Yang Peng, "I heard something happened last night?"
Yang Peng nodded and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's a small matter." Chai Yonghui said with a strange look in his eyes: "All the supervisors and the three hundred forbidden troops under their command were killed. I'm afraid it's not a small matter, right?" Yang Peng immediately looked at it.
Xiang Chai Yonghui's eyes were as sharp as knives. Chai Yonghui felt chilled by Yang Peng's look, "You, why are you looking at me like that?"
Yang Peng's expression returned to normal and he smiled, "So you know everything." Chai Yonghui felt that he had an illusion just now? He paused and said, "Have you ever thought that this matter is very serious?
But it is a serious crime to confiscate a house and exterminate a family! If the court finds out, Brother Yang, I am afraid you will die without a burial place!"
Yang Peng nodded and glanced at Chai Yunmiao, "Then what should I do?" Chai Yonghui said hurriedly: "For the current plan, we can only take advantage of the fact that the court doesn't know about it, and immediately raise troops to eliminate Bi Shi'an by surprise first, and then separate the regime.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are fighting against the imperial court! In this way, not only can they avoid annihilation, but they can also rule the world! There is a smooth road on one side and a cliff on the other. Brother Yang's talent and strategy should be able to make correct judgments."
Yang Peng nodded, "Okay!" Chai Yonghui was overjoyed, "Brother Yang, do you agree? In this case, then quickly assemble the three armies and mobilize food and fodder! By the way, we also need to attack Xiwen. I can do this." Chai Yonghui.
He looked excited.
"Did you tell the secret?" Yang Peng asked suddenly. Chai Yonghui was stunned, then lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and he did not dare to look at Yang Peng. Yang Peng stood up, walked to Chai Yonghui, and said in a serious tone: "Answer
My question!" Chai Yonghui was startled, and then he suddenly raised his head and said, "Yes, it was me who reported the secret to Sun Tong! You stupid and loyal fool, I must use this method to prompt you to rebel! I will
I don’t understand, you are so capable, but why are you so devoted to Zhao Song? Do you think that under the rule of Zhao Song, people can live and work in peace and contentment?"
Yang Peng looked at Chai Yunmiao expressionlessly. Chai Yonghui suddenly seemed like a deflated rubber ball, and said with a pale face: "Anyway, I betrayed you. I'm sorry for you. Just kill me. But this is the case."
Don’t tell my brother what happened, just say that I was also killed by bandits.”
Yang Peng suddenly grabbed her slender hand. Chai Yonghui looked at Yang Peng in surprise. Before she could react, Yang Peng pushed her down on the coffee table next to her and raised her attractive buttocks. Yang Peng couldn't help but say,
He raised his palm and started to slap it hard, bang bang bang... Chai Yonghui couldn't help but cry out in pain.
After about twenty strokes, Yang Peng stopped. Chai Yonghui was still lying on the coffee table, sticking out his buttocks, his body was numb and weak, his face was red, his teeth were biting his red lips, and his beautiful eyes were staring at Yang Peng angrily.
.Yang Peng said angrily: "This is your punishment for your nonsense! Let's see if you dare to behave nonsense again in the future?"
Chai Yonghui stared at Yang Peng for a moment, his expression suddenly became a little strange, and he slowly stood up. He glanced at Yang Peng and asked softly: "Aren't you going to kill me?" Yang Peng said angrily: "Have you seen it before?
Which parent kills a child who has made a mistake?" Chai Yonghui blushed and said angrily: "I am not your child!"
Yang Peng laughed, looked at her mature body, and nodded: "The body is indeed no longer a child, but the things it does are the same as those of a child!" Chai Yonghui glared at Yang Peng angrily. Yang Peng said sternly.
"I hope this won't happen again!" Chai Yonghui nodded like a child who made a mistake.
Yang Peng sighed, "I know what you are thinking. You feel that the Zhao family is sorry for your Chai family because they usurped your Chai family's kingdom. In fact, why are you so unwilling? Did this country always belong to your Chai family? Still
It wasn’t taken from someone else!”
Chai Yonghui looked surprised. She had obviously never thought about this problem. Yang Peng continued: "I don't have any stupid loyalty to the Zhao family. If I really have stupid loyalty, why would I hide so many supplies? Destiny
It is in my own hands, and I will make my own judgment on how to take the future."
Chai Yonghui remained silent. Yang Peng said angrily: "As a girl, you don't have to worry about these things! As I said before, you'd better find a good man to marry and focus on being a good wife!"
Chai Yonghui blushed and glared at Yang Peng, "You don't need to worry about this!" After saying that, he turned and left. Yang Peng sighed and shook his head. He sat down behind the desk and continued to do his thing. He picked up the
With a brush, a wisp of fragrance suddenly entered my nose. I couldn't help but look at my right hand, recalling the scene of spanking Chai Yonghui just now, my heart skipped a beat, and I shook my head with a smile.
After leaving the study, Chai Yonghui ran all the way until he reached the end of a corridor before stopping. He stared at the sparkling water in front of him in a daze, and suddenly an angry look appeared on his pretty face, and then he sighed with some resentment. He turned and faced forward.
As she walked and passed by the gate of Yang Tong's yard, she saw Yang Tong and Zhao Jinxi sitting in front of the moon cave window doing needlework. Chai Yonghui suddenly felt that these two women, whom she had always looked down on, seemed to be happier than herself!
He frowned, snorted softly, turned around and left.
When Bi Shi'an heard the news that Sun Tong was attacked and killed by bandits, he immediately had bad thoughts. He immediately called his close associates to discuss the matter, and finally drafted a letter and sent it to the capital.
The letter was delivered to Taishi Pang's residence. Taishi Pang opened the letter and read it again, and sighed, "It's a pity that it's too late, otherwise Yang Peng will have to walk around without food!" Why did Taishi Pang say this? It turned out that just one day ago, Yang Peng
Peng's memorial has been sent to the emperor in advance. Yang Peng recounted the entire incident in the letter and apologized. Although the emperor felt a little sad for Sun Tong's death, he did not mean to blame Yang Peng at all. Instead, he expressed his gratitude to Yang Peng.
Yang Peng greatly praised Yang Peng's achievements in annihilating the Xiangshan bandits. If Yang Peng and others had not obstructed him, the emperor would have promoted Yang Peng to a higher position!
Master Pang thought for a while, then left the mansion and entered the palace with the letter. After the communication, Master Pang followed a eunuch and went straight to the imperial study room. He found that the Eighth Prince and Kou Zhun were both there. The emperor and his ministers all had smiles on their faces. Master Pang
I couldn't help but feel jealous.
He stepped forward and saluted with cupped fists: "I pay homage to Your Majesty!" "Grand Master, are you here? We were talking about the Northern Expedition just now. The widow, the Eighth Prince, and Kou Aiqing all believed that the beginning of next spring would be a good time for the Northern Expedition, and they would seize the opportunity to go all out.
Sweep the Liaozhong Jingdao and Xijingdao and restore the past glory of our Huaxia clan! Unexpectedly, the revival of our Huaxia clan and the long-cherished wish of Taizu Taizong will be realized in the hands of a few people!"
Taishi Pang said: "Your Majesty is so talented and strategic, it is only a matter of time before Taizu Taizong's long-cherished wish can be fulfilled." The emperor burst into laughter with joy. Taishi Pang took out Bi Shi'an's letter and presented it with both hands, "Your Majesty, this is what Bi Liushou sent to deliver
The letter came."
"Oh?" The old eunuch beside the emperor immediately came down, took the letter, returned to the emperor, and forwarded it to the emperor. The emperor took the letter, took out the letter paper, read it again, frowned and said displeasedly: "What does this mean?
Yang Aiqing has already submitted a memorial to apologize, so why does Bi Shi'an come to complain?"
Taishi Pang saw that the limelight was wrong and immediately said: "I also feel that Bi Shi'an's move is inappropriate. But this is also a manifestation of his conscientiousness! He is the left guard in the west of Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture and has a heavy responsibility. After hearing this news, how could he not go up?
Where will Datian listen? If he doesn’t do this, he will be derelict in his duty!” The emperor turned from anger to joy and nodded: “What the grand master said is absolutely true!”
Master Pang clasped his fists and said: "Although General Yang did not make a big mistake in this matter, he is still suspected of dereliction of duty. I suggest that someone should be sent to reprimand him. Otherwise, I am afraid it will be difficult to silence everyone!" The Eighth Prince wanted to object.
, but Kou Zhun said: "What the Grand Master said is very true, and he should be reprimanded. This is also for the good of the general." Seeing that Kou Zhun actually agreed to Grand Master Pang's suggestion, the Eighth Prince had to change his words: "Wei Chen immediately sent the Privy Council
The staff went to Beijing to admonish the general."
Taishi Pang said: "No!" Everyone looked at him in confusion. Taishi Pang explained: "After all, the general comes from the Privy Council system. I am afraid it is not appropriate to send Privy Council staff to give lectures. I think it is more appropriate to send provincial officials to go." So-called
'Provincial Yuan', of course, does not mean provincial court, but an abbreviation for Zhongshu Province. It corresponds to the Privy Council, the highest military institution, and is the highest government agency. Since the Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military affairs, the status of the Provincial Yuan is important.
It is higher than the Privy Council. Now the chief of the Provincial Council is Cai Jing, so Cai Jing is the head of the hundred officials.
Grand Master Pang's proposal was reasonable and reasonable. Kou Zhun agreed, and the Eighth Prince could not object. The emperor nodded and said, "Just follow the Grand Master's suggestion. The Grand Master took the trouble to do this. I did not issue an imperial edict, so the Grand Master sent someone to tell him
Yang Aiqing, just ask him to be careful not to make mistakes again in the future." Master Pang promised with clasped fists.
"By the way, regarding the candidates for the new Supervisor of the Army, has the Grand Master made a good choice?" After receiving Yang Peng's memorial yesterday, the emperor asked Grand Master Pang to select a reliable minister to replace Sun Tong as the Supervisor of the Army in Beijing, so at this moment the Emperor
That's why I asked this question.
Taishi Pang said quickly: "This matter is still under consideration." The emperor nodded. Cai Jing returned to the mansion, and a Marquis Yu came up to pay homage: "Grandmaster." Taishi Pang hummed and continued to walk towards the hall. Marquis Yu
Followed by Grand Master Pang, he said, "Master Zhang is here while Grand Master is away." Cai Jing stopped and asked, "Is it Zhang Feng?" "Yes."
"Did he leave any words?" "He said he came here specifically to apologize to Enxiang, saying that he was suffering from a serious illness and it was really inconvenient to go to Beijing..." Master Pang was furious, "What kind of illness is it? It's not because he is afraid of the bandits over there.
He lost his life! Unfortunately, I kept promoting him, but when it came time to use him, there was so much pushback! I have so many disciples, why is there no one available?"
It turned out that after Taishi Pang took over the task of re-appointing the military supervisor yesterday, he immediately sent letters to several close officials he thought were capable, asking them who would be willing to take over Sun Tong's position as supervisor. However, Taishi Pang was surprised.
What he expected was that those officials who usually flattered him in every possible way all made excuses to avoid going to Beijing. In short, they were unwilling to go to Beijing. Today he sent people to Zhang Feng again, a minister he promoted from the Ministry of Rites, and found no one.
Thinking about this guy too.
Master Pang walked into the hall, sat down angrily, frowned and thought. He was very angry that the Eighth Prince tried to fight against him, and he hated Yang Peng even more for betraying him and turning to the Eighth Prince, and wanted to get rid of him.
Thinking of the previous letter from Sun Tong mentioned about Yang Peng's private possession of seized materials, although there is no evidence, Yang Peng thinks that some evidence can be created? Maybe this can be used to convict Yang Peng and bring down the whole country.
He even tortured him to death! Humph, no one who betrays me will have a good end! I will never let him have a good end!
Maybe he can also make a fuss about his relationship with the Liao Kingdom. Yang Peng thought deeply, thought of a way, smiled sinisterly, and then sent someone to invite Li Te and Gao Hu. Soon after, Li Te and Gao Hu came in a hurry
When they arrived at the Grand Master's residence, the three of them discussed in the study for a long time before Li Te and Gao Hu said goodbye and left. I wonder what conspiracy they discussed?
If you want to know what happens next, let’s look at the breakdown in the next chapter.
