Ye Qi Guanyin returned to her mansion, washed her face, and then walked into the study to start working. After reading the report just sent from Yanyun, she couldn't help but feel worried. Yanyun was getting stronger and stronger, and she was getting more and more worried.
I feel that it is difficult to suppress. At that time, Yanyun only had Yanyun Sixteenth State, like a young tiger. Although it was brave, it was ultimately insufficient in strength. However, today's Yanyun is like a tiger that has finally grown up, and has already revealed its command.
It is really difficult to eliminate the momentum that makes people's hearts palpitate!
Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but sigh when she thought about the situation in the country. Nowadays, foreign troubles are getting more and more pressing, but the internal situation is getting more and more unstable! Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but wonder if her previous actions were wrong. Maybe the emperor's brother is driving
On the day of collapse, Brother Yeqianxiu was wiped out with thunderous force, and what happened now might not have happened! Yeqiang Guanyin frowned.
A female guard rushed in and reported respectfully: "Princess, Your Majesty invites you to come to the palace to discuss matters!" Ye Qi Guanyin suppressed her chaotic thoughts, stood up, and changed into her armor robe with the help of the female guard, and then
He hurriedly left the mansion surrounded by several guards.
When I came to the imperial study room of the palace, I saw the emperor sitting behind the desk, Prime Minister Han Derang standing on the right, Generalissimo Ye Qianxiu standing on the left, and under Brother Ye Qianxiu stood the Queen Mother of Korea. Ye Qianguanyin
He saluted the emperor and said: "I pay my respects to your Majesty!" The emperor quickly said: "Auntie, there is no need to be polite!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ye Qi Guanyin stood up and walked to where Handerang stood. Handerang saluted to Ye Qi Guanyin.
, Ye Qi Guanyin nodded in response.
The emperor glanced at Yegan Guanyin, then at Brother Yeganxiu, and said, "I heard that a fierce battle broke out between my aunt and the generalissimo's men in the city. I wonder if this is the case?"
Brother Yeqianxiu quickly came out and said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to the rumors. They are just drunken soldiers fighting and making trouble!" The emperor looked at Yeqiang Guanyin with a question in his eyes. Yeqiang Guanyin said: "That's true.
, It’s just the usual drinking and troublemaking among soldiers, it’s not as serious as the rumors say!” The emperor nodded, “So, I’m relieved!” He glanced at the two of them, “After I heard this rumor, I was very worried.
Are you worried that the marshal and aunt are attacking each other because of some misunderstanding? Now it seems that I have misunderstood! This is the best! Marshal, aunt!" The two of them bowed to listen.
"Both of you are important ministers of our Great Liao Kingdom. They are related to the safety and well-being of our Great Liao Kingdom. No matter what happens, please take care of me and the Great Jin Liao Kingdom, and don't be impulsive!"
"Yes!" "I absolutely believe that you two are loyal to me. No matter there are any rumors, I will never believe them! I hope you will not be troubled by the rumors! Recently there are rumors that my aunt and
I absolutely do not believe that Ye Qi Hucheng conspired to destroy me. If my aunt and Ye Qi Hucheng really had this kind of intention, they would have taken action before I succeeded to the throne. Why wait until now?" Ye Qi Guanyin worshiped: "
Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty!"
The emperor said with admiration: "My aunt fought bloody battles as a daughter for the sake of the Liao Kingdom. I admire her so much! My aunt is a hero among women. She is willing to sacrifice everything for the benefit of the Liao Kingdom! If my aunt has ulterior motives, there will still be loyal ministers in the world.
"?" The emperor's words made Ye Qi Guanyin very pleased. The emperor turned to look at Brother Ye Qi Xiu, "And there are rumors that the Generalissimo killed the two late emperors with ulterior motives. I don't believe it either. If the Generalissimo
If this is really the case, you have already become the emperor, so why should you support me?"
Brother Ye Qianxiu said very gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for trusting me!" The emperor said: "In short, I hope you will not listen to the slander and have any grudges against each other! Whether the Liao Kingdom can continue to be strong depends on these two people.
It's your turn! I hope you two will put the overall situation first!" Yeqi Guanyin and Yeqi Guanyin bowed and agreed.
The emperor smiled slightly and said, "Okay, I'll stop talking about this matter here. The generalissimo and aunt are both heroes, so I don't need to say more!" After a pause, he frowned and said: "Nowadays, things in the Central Plains are getting more and more serious.
And the Mongols are causing trouble again! Yeqihu City has just sent people to send emergency military information. The Mongols have launched a large-scale attack on Shangjing Road. Yeqihu City is leading the army to resist. The battle is stalemate and the losses are not small! This matter
, what do you think should be done?”
The Queen Mother of Korea said angrily: "Those barbarians dare to scratch the tiger's beard. What else can be said? Naturally, we will send a large army to conquer them!" Han Derang frowned and said: "I'm afraid it won't be that easy! Our army just suffered a big defeat in the Central Plains.
Not only did we suffer heavy losses in terms of troops, but we also lost a lot of money and food! If we rush to launch a large-scale conquest against Mongolia, Yan Yun will definitely invade on a large scale. At that time, fighting on two fronts will inevitably focus on one and lose the other, and I am afraid that the gains will not be worth the losses!"
The emperor frowned and looked at Brother Ye Qianxiu, "Generalissimo, this round you and the Yanyun Army fought fiercely. What do you think of the Yanyun Army? Is the Yanyun Army really as powerful as the legend says?"
Brother Ye Qianxiu sighed, "Your Majesty, I have never obeyed others, but I admire and hate the Yanyun Army! Not only are the generals of the Yanyun Army brave and fearless, but the soldiers are also brave and fearless of death! Our army,
There are armies from other countries, no matter how powerful they are, they almost all fight for rewards and plunder! But the impression given by the Yanyun Army is not the same. They don’t seem to fight for plunder. According to the information sent back by Xi Zuo,
No one will keep the countless trophies captured in each battle, including money and women, but will hand them over!"
The emperor felt incredible, "How can the army have combat effectiveness in this case?"
Ye Qi Guanyin said: "According to the information sent back from Yanyun, King Yan taught his soldiers to fight for the dignity of the Chinese people and to fight for the interests of the Chinese people. Therefore, his soldiers fought with other countries for property.
Soldiers are different. Driven by this spirit, they can burst out with frighteningly powerful combat effectiveness, often falling into desperate situations and still fighting to the death! The previous Battle of Gushan and the recent Battle of Juehua Island
, this is the case. Even if you know that there is no hope in fighting, you will never give up fighting until you die on the battlefield. This is the most terrifying enemy!"
The emperor frowned and said: "Then can we learn from their practices?" Ye Qi Guanyin said: "I am already learning, but the effect is not ideal. I guess it is because we Khitans are in the minority after all! This is the same thing.
It is very useful on our own Khitan warriors, but it does not work well on the Xi people and the Han people!"
The emperor thought for a moment and then raised his head, "Let's put this matter aside for the time being. Let's discuss how to deal with the Mongols!" Ye Qi Guanyin said: "I agree with the Prime Minister's opinion. We really cannot rush to war against the Mongols at this time!"
The Queen Mother of Korea frowned and said: "The Mongols have already arrived, so what's the use if we don't want to start a war?"
Yedi Guanyin glanced at the Queen Mother of Korea and said to the emperor: "The Mongols' attack on Shangjing Road was just to rob livestock and supplies for the winter. Even if they don't dare to start a full-scale war with us, the Liao Empire! Under such circumstances
, we might as well use both kindness and power, while mobilizing the army to prepare for a decisive battle, making the Mongolians fearful, and at the same time sending envoys to appease the Mongols! If nothing goes wrong, the Mongols should just accept it as soon as possible! Our main focus should still be on Yanyun
Above. Once Yan Yun's tiger and wolf troops get the chance, they will definitely cause unimaginable damage. We must not take them lightly!"
The emperor nodded and looked at Brother Yeqianxiu, "What does the Generalissimo think?" Brother Yeqianxiu glanced at Yeqiang Guanyin and said to the emperor: "I agree with the emperor's suggestion!"
The emperor was very happy, "Since you two agree, the matter is settled! Let my aunt lead the army northward and assume a decisive battle posture against the Mongols!" Ye Qi Guanyin promised. "The prime minister selected capable personnel to go to Mongolia as envoys.
, Accuse him of his treasonous crimes!" Since after the Liao War, various Mongolian tribes sent envoys to meet the Liao Emperor and submitted letters of submission, so the emperor would say "accuse him of his treasonous crimes". Handerang bowed down and agreed.
The emperor's eyes turned to Brother Yeqianxiu, "As for the affairs of the Central Plains, we have left it to the Generalissimo!" Brother Yeqianxiu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured!" Yeqian Guanyin glanced at Brother Yeqianxiu,
He said to the emperor: "We don't have to take full responsibility for the affairs of the Central Plains! Yang Peng." When she mentioned this name, Fang couldn't help but feel unspeakable emotions in her heart. She lost her mind and continued: "He has now occupied
Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Hebei, are as powerful as an empire! With the Song people's habit of fighting among themselves, they must be very jealous of him and want to get rid of him quickly! We can completely let the Song Dynasty fight with Yanyun, and we will
Watching the changes and waiting for the opportunity to move, this is what the Han people call 'the snipe and the clam compete with each other'!"
What Ye Qian Guanyin said was very correct. At this moment, the Song court was panicking because of the failure of Ni Chengmou's action. Ni Chengmou came back from Yanyun and put all the responsibility for the failure on Zhao Lihua. The emperor and ministers were very frightened, thinking that Yang Peng must be
A large army will be raised to retaliate.
"Now, what should we do now?" The emperor asked the ministers standing below in panic. Wang Qinruo said: "Now that the matter has come to a point, the only thing left is to fight Yan Yun openly with swords and guns!" The emperor swallowed his saliva.
, "This, I'm afraid, I'm afraid there is no chance of winning! I don't know if the Khitans will agree to form an alliance with us to deal with Yanyun?" Soon after the emperor sent Ni Chengmou to Yanyun secretly, he sent an envoy to the Liao Kingdom to discuss an alliance to deal with it.
The matter of Yan Yun.
Wang Qinruo said: "This matter is not a big problem. The Khitans regard Yan Yun as their great enemy and are definitely willing to join forces with us!" The Eighth Prince said, "Emperor, you must not do this. Our biggest enemies are the Khitans. We must not fight against each other."
"It's a brutal killing," Taishi Pang also stood up and said, "It is absolutely impossible to deal with us Han people together with the Liao Kingdom. Let's not talk about whether we can defeat Yang Peng and the others. This will also cause Yang Yanzhao and the others to turn to the King of Yan. It is absolutely impossible."
Kou Zhun also expressed opposition, because Kou Zhun was also disgusted with Yang Peng and others. Thousands of years of loyal education could not change these old stubborns.
Wang Qinruo was right. When the Song envoy arrived in Beijing, the Liao emperor was particularly happy. The Liao emperor agreed to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty without any further hesitation, and proposed that both sides attack the Yan State at the same time in the spring of next year.
Yun. Immediately sent an envoy to return to Bianjing with the Song envoy.
Intelligence from Beijing and Bianjing continued to reach Yang Peng, and the situation was developing in a very unfavorable direction for Yan Yun. Naturally, Yang Peng would not sit still and wait for death. He took two measures. First, he sent a secret envoy to Mongolia.
Lobby the Mongols, hoping to form an alliance with Mongolia to contain some of the Liao troops; secondly, send people to Bianjing to inform the Mingjiao Zhong, firstly asking him to spread rumors everywhere, saying that Zhao Heng is afraid that Yanyun will defeat the Khitans
The throne was not guaranteed, so he made a secret agreement with the Khitans to destroy Yan Yun. Secondly, he asked the Southern Mingjiao under Lou Min to prepare for battle and wait for orders at any time.
Time passed unconsciously in such a tense atmosphere, and in a blink of an eye, the Spring Festival was here.
The city of Yanjing is very lively with lanterns and colorful decorations, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere. Children are chasing and playing happily, and pairs of young talents and beauties are admiring the lanterns; a burst of noise of gongs and drums suddenly comes, and it turns out to be a dragon dance team
As he came forward, the people gathered around, clapped their hands and laughed.
At this moment, Prince Yan's mansion is also very lively. Several tables of banquets have been set up by the lake in the backyard. Prince Yang Peng, Prince Yan and his concubines, as well as the main generals and civil servants of the Yan Yun Army who have come back from various places have gathered here to pass the pots.
It's a great time to have a good time drinking wine and drinking wine.
The quarrel lasted until late at night, and the drunken officials and generals were helped into the guest rooms of the palace by the palace guards to rest. The noisy backyard suddenly became quiet. Yang Peng leaned on the railing of the waterside pavilion, rubbing his groggy head. Footsteps outside the waterside pavilion
As the sound rang out, Yang Peng's wives and concubines filed in carrying hot water, towels, and sobering soup. When Yang Peng saw them, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Yang Tong and Zhao Jinxi served Yang Peng and washed their faces. Yang Jiumei brought sobering soup. Yang Peng took the soup cup and looked at each other. Yang Jiumei's beautiful eyes were full of deep affection. Yang Peng picked up the soup cup and grunted.
Gulu drank it all in a few big gulps. He put down the soup cup, stretched out his left and right hands to hold Yang Jiumei and Chai Yonghui respectively, and said to the girls, "Let's talk!" Naturally, the girls couldn't help but sat down one after another.
Next to Yang Peng, or sitting on the floor in front of Yang Peng, Chai Yonghui, Yang Jiumei, Yelu Hanyu, Zhao Lihua, Yang Tong, Zhao Jinxi, six beauties and six flowers with different styles, surrounded Yang Peng, like stars.
Holding the moon in front of you is normal.
Yang Peng pointed to the stars in the sky and told a love story, and the girls listened in ecstasy...
The wives and concubines finally couldn't help the harassment of exhaustion and fell asleep one after another. Yang Peng stopped telling stories and looked at them tenderly. He gently got up and left the waterside pavilion, and asked the maids of the wives and concubines to bring their beddings and gently
They covered it and ordered the female guards to bring the tent and surround it around the waterside pavilion to block the night wind and prevent them from catching cold.
After completing this, Yang Peng lay down among the girls and closed his eyes. Smelling the fragrant breath, he gradually fell asleep...
The next morning, the girls woke up one after another and found that they had slept with their eldest brother all night together with others, and some strange feelings could not help but arise in their hearts...
In the back hall, Yang Peng held a meeting with everyone. Han Bing said: "Before I came, brother Ye Qianxiu had already arrived in Bingzhou. According to the scout reports, the Khitan army was mobilizing frequently in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Xijing Road, and grain and grass supplies were flowing in continuously.
Gathering in Shanxi! It is estimated that Brother Ye Qianxiu will make big moves after the spring begins!"
Qian Letian said: "There is a report from Xiaozuo that the Mongols have retreated under the coercion and inducement of the Khitan people. The emissary we sent has not replied yet. I don't know what the situation is." Yang Peng thought thoughtfully and asked: "Is there any internal situation in the Liao Kingdom?
Is there no big problem?" Qian Letian shook his head, "Our people are behind the scenes and spreading rumors, but the situation in the Liao Kingdom is actually much more stable than before."
Yelu Hanyu looked at Yang Peng and said teasingly: "Guanyin over there is really not simple!" Yang Peng smiled and said to Qian Letian: "Let our people continue to spread rumors. The internal stability of Liao Kingdom is not stable.
It means that they really don't suspect each other. If you tell a lie a thousand times, it will become true. Slowly soaking in, maybe one day you will see the results." "Yes."
Yang Peng looked at Yang Jing, "Yang Jing, is there any action in the south?"
Yang Jing stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Before the end of the world, scouts have discovered that the imperial court is dispatching troops, horses, grain and grass supplies to the states in Jiangbei. According to intelligence obtained from various sources, Song Ting will eventually gather 600,000 troops in Jiangbei!"
Yang Peng remained calm, "Are you confident of holding on?" Yang Jing said with a smile, "What's the problem? With the soldiers and generals in the imperial court now, our 120,000 troops are enough to defeat them!" Everyone in the hall shouted loudly.
laugh it out.
Yang Peng said with a smile: "Don't be careless! After all, the Song army has a large number of people. As the saying goes, the ants will kill the elephant to death!"
"Yes, you will be careful in the end, King Yan, don't worry!" Yang Peng thought: "Looking at the current situation, after the spring begins, a war will definitely break out!" He raised his head and glanced at everyone, "My strategy is,
Defend in the south and attack in the north! The two southern legions with 120,000 troops resisted the Song army's offensive, while the main force attacked the Khitan army in Shanxi! This is the first time our large army has taken the initiative to attack the Khitan territory. The battle will definitely not be easy. All
No one should be careless!" Everyone agreed in unison.
Shortly after this meeting, the generals hurriedly returned to their respective armies. At the same time, Yang Peng also secretly left Yanyun. Very few people knew about his departure, only a few senior personnel.
The sight turned to Bingzhou Mansion. Brother Ye Qianxiu was sitting at the top, listening to the reports from his generals. The armies, grain, grass and baggage were converging towards Shanxi and were about to be in place. Once all the troops and horses were in place, they would gather at Shanxi.
The Khitan army will reach nearly 700,000 troops.
After listening to the generals' reports, Brother Ye Qianxiu nodded with satisfaction, "Very good!" He glanced at the generals and said, "This campaign will have far-reaching consequences. You must do your best to be the first!" "Yes!" All the generals said in unison.
Sheng Yingnuo. Brother Ye Qianxiu continued: "I can assure you that the first among you to invade Yanjing will be crowned King of Bian Liang!" All the generals were very excited when they heard this.
General Dalian asked impatiently: "Generalissimo, when will we launch the attack?"
Brother Ye Qianxiu waved his hand, "No hurry! Let's wait until the Song Kingdom in the south attacks first, and then we will attack again!" Dalan frowned and said: "The Gao Family Army, which has the strongest combat effectiveness in the Song Kingdom, has now become a legion directly under Yanyun, and the other several
There are no generals who can fight. Cao Jun, Liu Qi, etc. have all been relieved of their military power and idle at home. How can there be any army capable of fighting? They attacked the Yanyun Army. Huh, in Han people's terms, they were clearly like meat buns beating dogs but nothing left.
Come back!" Everyone laughed, Brother Ye Qianxiu waved his hands with a smile and said: "Marshal, I don't expect them to achieve anything, but after all, they have a large number of people. The first attack will definitely attract Yan Yun's troops, and the attack on us will be
Very beneficial!" The generals suddenly realized.
Brother Ye Qianxiu stood up and walked to the map. The generals immediately gathered around him.
Brother Ye Qianxiu pointed at Huguan and said: "The first step is for Dalan to lead an army of 200,000 people out of Huguan, capture Xiangzhou and Anli Army, and cut off the southward passage from Hebei; then I will lead the main army to forcefully cross the Yellow River from Weizhou.
Attack the new city of Tianjing! As long as we succeed, our army will be in a favorable situation! After occupying Yanjing, all armies immediately turn to defense to consolidate the victory. We must not underestimate the enemy and rush forward! After doing this, turn the troops to the west to encircle and annihilate
The Yanyun Army in the Luoyang area! As long as nothing happens, Henan should be recovered by our army after these few battles!" The generals were very excited.
Brother Ye Qianxiu looked at Xiao Qianbuli, "General Xiao Qianbuli led his troops to stay still and alert the direction of Chengtian Army Stronghold." "Yes." Brother Yeqianxiu's eyes moved to Sa Lihe, "
I appointed General Xiao Salihe as the general manager of Mengzhou, commanding 50,000 men and horses in Mengzhou to defend the Yanyun Army in Luoyang. When my army attacks Yanjing, the Yanyun Army in Luoyang may move eastward to the south to reinforce Beijing, or it may
Make a desperate effort to cross the river and attack. If the Yanyun army supports Yanjing, your troops will immediately cross the Yellow River and seize Cangzhou. If the Yanyun army makes a desperate move to cross the Yellow River, you can lure the enemy to gather deep and destroy them." "Yes!"
Brother Ye Qianxiu glanced at the generals, "Is there anything else you don't understand?" All the generals said in unison: "I understand!" "Very good! Say goodbye, Xiao Qianbuli, you two rush to your side immediately.
The position!" The two generals agreed. Brother Yeqianxiu looked at Dallan, "General Dallan also rushed to Huguan to prepare. I will send you the follow-up troops as soon as possible!" "Yes!"
On the same day, the three generals led their guards out of Bingzhou and rushed to their respective positions.
One day later, the last batch of troops arrived at Bingzhou from Xijing Road. Brother Ye Qianxiu immediately led an army of 300,000 people southward, and at the same time ordered an army of 100,000 people to rush to Huguan to reinforce Dallan. Flags were surging, troops were like dragons, and the Khitan people had already
Pulled out the steel knife.
Yang Peng has secretly arrived at the Chengtian Army Stronghold, and the directly affiliated legions that have already received the order, all the cavalry from the two legions of the First Legion, plus the two thousand Xuanjia Army, a total of 92,000 cavalry have gathered at the Chengtian Army.
Under the stronghold, this matter is still kept strictly confidential at this moment. Even the people nearby do not know that Yanyun's 90,000 cavalry have gathered here. Why are there as many as 92,000 cavalry in these three armies? It turns out that Yang Peng
The direct-affiliated legion originally had 60,000 war cavalry, and the merged Yang family army also had 20,000 war cavalry. Therefore, the direct-affiliated legion alone had 80,000 war cavalry, plus the 10,000 cavalry and 2,000 Xuanjia troops of the first legion.
, exactly 92,000 war cavalry.
Yang Peng stepped into the upper tent, turned around, and paid homage to all the generals. Yang Jiumei clasped her fists and reported: "To King Yan, the Khitan army is still 100,000 troops, and there has been no change!" Yang Jiumei was talking about the Khitan army.
The Khitan army deployed on the west side of Chengtian Army Stronghold at the foot of Taihang Mountain is Xiao Qianbuli's army, with a total of 100,000 troops.
Yang Peng nodded and glanced at the generals, "This battle is crucial. If we win, the subsequent battles will be much easier. If we fail, the subsequent battles will be difficult! Are you confident?" "Yes?"
!" All the generals roared in unison, Yang Gui stepped out of the line and clasped his fists and said: "Please ask the King of Yan to give the order, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" Zhan Jinguo was anxious, and stepped out of the line and clasped his fists and said: "King Yan, let me be the leader.
Pioneer, be more careful!"
Yang Gui was furious, "General Yang, are you saying that I am not safe?"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
