"It was that Zheng Tu. He cursed his master. The subordinates were so angry that they fought with him. The subordinates could not take advantage of him, so they had him untie his rope and have a fair duel. The result, the result,
My subordinate was defeated, and if everyone hadn’t swarmed him, he would have run away!”
Yang Peng was very surprised, "That Zheng Tu can actually defeat you?" Wang Kai nodded shyly. Yang Peng and Han Bing exchanged a look. Yang Peng walked down the steps and helped Wang Kai up. Seeing his face
It was badly bruised and swollen. Obviously, Zheng Tu didn't hold back at all. That guy was really arrogant. He was already a prisoner, but he still dared to be so arrogant!
"I want to see this guy!" Yang Peng said with a smile, and then walked outside, followed closely by Han Bing and Wang Kai. Several people came to the front yard, and saw Bai Bai surrounded by soldiers.
There was a man squatting on the ground, everyone looked uneasy, and one of them, a very tall and bearded man, was tied up and curled up on the ground. A bunch of cow eyes stared at the sergeant next to him with great anger. Needless to say, that man must have
It was Zheng Tu.
When the sergeants saw Yang Peng and Han Bing coming, they all saluted: "I've seen King Yan, I've seen the princess!" Those gangsters were all dumbfounded. They didn't expect to see the legendary King Yan and Princess Yan, and a few more
Everyone stared at Yang Peng and Han Bing, horrified to the extreme. These guys were really the same gangsters who tried to tease Han Bing by the canal embankment but were taught a lesson by Yang Peng and Han Bing.
Yang Peng and Han Bing walked up to Zheng Tu. Yang Peng looked down at the very embarrassed Zheng Tu and asked with a smile: "Are you Zheng Tu? Did you defeat my guard captain?" Yang Peng came back to his senses.
He murmured to himself: I didn't expect King Yan to be here. The one who was defeated by me just now was actually his guard captain? I offended him and my life is over!
As soon as he thought of this, he risked his life, raised his chin and said loudly: "Yes, it's me! I have long heard how heroic King Yan is, but I didn't expect that he would do this to frame a good person!"
Yang Peng chuckled and squatted down, "Are you also a kind person?" Zheng Tu murmured, obviously not daring to confidently say that he was a kind person, and then raised his head and said: "Although ordinary people are not considered kind,
But King Yan, you can’t just arrest the Cao Min without asking questions! The Cao Min and the others gathered late at night, and although they said it was inappropriate, they didn’t break that rule. Why did you arrest the Cao Min and the others here?”
Yang Peng said with a smile: "You want to take revenge today to regain your position, because several of your men suffered a loss by the canal embankment. You found the address according to the address mentioned by the other party, but you found that it turned out to be the Yanyun Army Camp.
He was so shocked that he wanted to run away quickly. But before he could leave, he was caught by my soldiers!" Zheng Tu's eyes widened and he looked at Yang Peng in disbelief. He thought that King Yan was not a god, why?
You know everything without even being interrogated?!
Yang Peng looked up at the few rogues who had had disputes with him and said with a smile: "Do you think this is what happened?" Seeing that they could no longer hide, the rogues hurriedly came out and knelt down in front of Yang Peng.
He kept kowtowing and begging for mercy: "King Yan, please spare my life! King Yan, please spare your life! This villain has blind eyes and cannot see Mount Tai. He has offended King Yan and deserves death. King Yan, please spare your life!..."
Zheng Tu looked surprised, then understood and shouted in disbelief: "You bastards, could it be that you met King Yan and King Yan's Princess?" The few rascals nodded in confusion. Zheng Tu glanced at him.
After turning it over, he shouted: "It's over, it's over!" Then he said to Yang Peng with a depressed look: "The common people have nothing to say, the common people are willing to die!"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "Although fighting and causing trouble is a crime, it is not a capital crime." Zheng Tu was stunned and looked at Yang Peng in confusion. Yang Peng stood up and said to a sergeant next to him: "Untie his rope.
." The sergeant promised, pulled out his long knife, walked up to Zheng Tu, and cut off the rope on his body. Zheng Tu broke away from the rope and stood up, clasping his fists and saying, "If my people offend King Yan and King Yan's princess, it is me who offends him.
Kill King Yan and his princess! The common people are willing to take the blame!"
Seeing that this man was upright and loyal, Yang Peng couldn't help but feel good about him. At this time, his brothers all begged: "Please King Yan spare Brother Zheng, we are willing to take the blame!" Those who caused the trouble
Pipi added: "It was us who offended King Yan and Princess Yan, and it had nothing to do with Brother Zheng!"
Yang Peng glanced at everyone, and finally returned to Zheng Tu's face, smiling: "I can give you a chance. If you can defeat me, all of you can leave here." Zheng Tu's eyes lit up, "
This is true!"
Yang Peng nodded, "Seriously!" Zheng Tu said loudly: "Okay! I believe that King Yan is not a villain who doesn't keep his words! Come on!" After saying that, he opened his posture. Yang Peng asked with a smile:
"What if you lose?"
Zheng Tu said without thinking: "If I lose, King Yan will take my life!" Yang Peng smiled slightly and took two steps back. Seeing this, everyone pushed aside and gave way to an area of several tens of square meters.
In the open space, the gangsters were extremely nervous and silently prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to protect their big brother.
Yang Peng stretched out his left hand and hooked at Zheng Tu, "Come on!" Zheng Tu opened his eyes, shouted, and rushed towards Yang Peng with a ferocious and astonishing momentum. Yang Peng secretly praised him and saw the opponent punching him.
When he was hit in the face, he immediately dodged sideways. Zheng Tu jumped into the air, then twisted his waist and swept his left foot towards Yang Peng's waist. Chen Xiao jumped back and dodged again. Zheng Tu
Seeing that the two blows missed, he couldn't help but became impatient. He screamed and rushed towards Yang Peng again. He opened his fists left and right and hit Yang Peng hard. Yang Peng blocked and dodged, but Zheng Tu's attack had no effect at all. This
At that time, the brothers under Zheng Tu were shouting and cheering at the top of their lungs, completely forgetting where they were.
Zheng Tu yelled, and hit Yang Peng's cheek with his right fist from the right side. Yang Peng's body dwarfed, and Zheng Tu's attack immediately failed. Before he could react, he felt Yang Peng hugging his waist, and he couldn't help but be shocked.
Yang Peng shouted loudly and tried to pull up with all his strength. Although Zheng Tu had a strong physique, he immediately felt as if he were flying in the clouds. Then he lost his balance and fell to the ground with a loud bang. His internal organs were churning and stars were shining in his eyes.
For a moment I couldn't move.
Seeing that their elder brother had lost, all the gangsters stopped cheering and cheering, and everyone turned pale. Zheng Tu shook his head vigorously, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Yang Peng standing in front of him with a smile on his face. He couldn't help but be surprised and admired.
King Yan is indeed a great hero with great power in the world. The courage he is so proud of is simply worthless and vulnerable in front of him! He quickly stood up and kowtowed: "The common people are convinced! Please take the lives of the common people, King Yan!"
"
Yang Peng helped Zheng Tu up and said with a smile: "You are very good. With such courage, are you willing to be a butcher and a despised rogue?" Zheng Tu understood the meaning of Yang Peng's words and bowed quickly.
: "If the King of Yan does not give up, the common people will be willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses, and will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"
Yang Peng helped Zheng Tu up and patted his shoulder, "A good man is on the battlefield. Even if he is wrapped in horse leather, his life will not be wasted!" Zheng Tu nodded seriously, "The villain has actually wanted to join the army for a long time. It's just those from the imperial court.
The bastard had a weird temper and couldn't serve him well, so he became a butcher here and lived his life! Today I met King Yan, and the villain finally got what he wanted!" Then he laughed.
Yang Peng smiled slightly, "What's your name?"
"Grassman Zheng Long." Yang Peng nodded, "What a good name! I hope this name can be spread all over the world in the future!" Zheng Long showed an excited expression. Yang Peng said: "We Yanyun Army have our own rules, if you want to
To gain a foothold in the Yanyun Army, you must rely on your own abilities. In a few months, Yanjing will hold a martial arts competition. If you can perform well in the martial arts competition, you can join the Yanyun Army and become an officer.
." Zheng Long clasped his fists and said: "I will definitely go there!"
Yang Peng nodded. He glanced at the gangsters who caused this incident and said: "You guys are fighting and causing trouble, and you have evil intentions towards women. You must be punished. I will hand you over to the local government. Do you believe it?"
." A few people didn't expect that King Yan actually didn't kill them. They were grateful and said quickly: "You guys deserve it, thank you so much, King Yan!"
Yang Peng glanced at the gangsters and said: "Others, please go back. I hope you will behave yourself in the future and don't do anything wrong again!" Everyone hurriedly said: "I will follow the teachings of King Yan!" "Okay, you go!"
Everyone bowed to Yang Peng and left immediately. Only the few troublemakers stayed. Yang Peng ordered Wang Kai to take them to the local government. Wang Kai took the order and took a few secret guards to take those people to the local government.
A few gangsters took him to the Yamen.
Han Bing walked to Yang Peng and said with a smile: "Congratulations, brother, for recruiting another strong man!" Yang Peng chuckled, "This man is brave enough, but his martial arts is a bit lacking!" Han Bing said: "Brother did not recruit him directly, but
Are you asking him to participate in the martial arts competition to test him?" Yang Peng nodded, "If he is willing to travel thousands of miles to Yanjing to participate in the martial arts competition, then this person can be used, otherwise, this person is just
A gangster with some courage is of little use!"
Han Bing thought and nodded.
Early the next morning, Yang Peng issued a transfer order, ordering the 678th Army to be transferred back to Shanxi, and the First Army to be transferred back to Yanjing. Han Bing still returned to Shanxi to take charge of Shanxi military affairs, but Han Bing had to return to Yanjing to report on his duties. Shanxi Military Affairs
Yang Dezheng is temporarily acting as the agent, Huainan's military affairs are still in charge of Duan Zhixian, and Henan's military affairs are still in charge of Yang Yanzhao. At the same time, Yang Peng also issued supplementary and pension orders, ordering relevant agencies to start pension work, recruit and train new soldiers, and ordered
Militiamen from 205 military offices in Shanxi and Henan returned to their hometowns.
After doing this, Yang Peng set off to leave Yangzhou and go north, accompanied by Han Bing, Duan Zhixian, Cheng Shijie and others for more than ten miles before going back. Several building boats slowly headed north along the canal. Night fell, the sky was filled with stars, and the moonlight was shining.
On the Qianli Canal, the sparkling waves are twinkling. Yang Peng and Han Bing sit on the deck leaning against each other, admiring the beautiful scenery. There is silence all around, with only the gentle sound of water. They feel that the vastness of the world seems to be only
The two of them are as ordinary as heaven and earth, and they don't know what the world is like.
"It would be great if it could be like this forever!" Han Bing couldn't help but sigh.
Yang Peng looked down at her, and saw that this tea-loving female general had completely shed her majestic temperament, and was as tender as water, just like an ordinary woman. Yang Peng couldn't help the surge of love, and hugged Han Bing tightly.
With a slender waist, I felt something in my heart, and hummed a song: "The snowflakes of that year fell on the branches, and there was too much sadness left by the Huaqing Pool that year. Don't say who is who, or who is wrong or right in feelings.
I just want to be drunk with you again in my dream. The golden bird, hairpin, and jade scratching my head is the gift you gave me, and the colorful feathers sing and dance for you several times. Jianmenguan is your deep longing for me, Maweipo
I wish to die for true love. Love and hate are in a moment, and my love for the moon is like the sky. Love and hate are boundless, I ask you when you will fall in love. The chrysanthemum platform reflects the bright moon, but who knows that my love is cold. Drunk in the king's arms,
Dreaming back to the love of the Tang Dynasty."
Han Bing was so moved that she raised her head, her beautiful eyes looked at Han Bing again and again, and asked softly: "Is it Concubine Yang?"
Yang Peng nodded. Han Bing lowered his head and said softly: "If it were me, I would do that, but there would be no hatred. If you die for your eldest brother, there is nothing to hate!"
Yang Peng's heart was shocked, and he hugged Han Bing tightly with both hands, and said softly: "Your eldest brother is definitely not a waste like Tang Minghuang, who wants to sacrifice his own woman to save his life! If we are really at the end of the road, we will fight.
There is nothing to fear above the yellow sand!" Han Bing raised his head and looked at Yang Peng with reverence, "The eldest brother and Emperor Tang Ming are naturally different. Emperor Tang Ming was just an emperor with some achievements, but the eldest brother is an unparalleled hero! Zongheng
Who in the world can resist? If we really come to the end of the road, my little sister is willing to follow her elder brother and die on the battlefield. She does not want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but she wants to die in the same year, the same month and the same day. What regrets will there be in this life?"
Yang Peng was so moved that he immediately burst into pride, "With Ruby by my side in this life, I will have no regrets anymore! Come on, bring the wine!" The two Feifeng female guards immediately brought the wine bowls and wine jars, and then withdrew.
Go down. Yang Peng picked up the wine jar and patted open the mud seal, poured two large bowls, picked it up, and handed one of the bowls to Han Bing. Han Bing took the wine bowl and looked at Yang Peng affectionately with his beautiful eyes.
Then he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. He was truly a heroine, and he was like a man! Yang Peng smiled and drank the whole bowl of wine in one gulp.
The two chatted and drank on the deck, and unknowingly drank more than half of a large jar of wine. Although Han Bing was a hero among women, she was still a woman after all. Her alcohol capacity was limited, and she was already drunk and leaning on Yang Peng's arms.
She was hit, her beautiful eyes were blurred, her face was flushed, and she smiled infatuatedly: "It must be like this when you are drunk by the king's side!" Yang Peng looked at Han Bing's flushed and drunken cheeks, and couldn't help but feel moved, and he couldn't help but lower his head.
He went to kiss her red lips. Han Bing looked at Yang Peng with a very emotional look, and his expression almost melted Yang Peng!...
Early the next morning, Han Bing woke up to the sound of rushing water. He only felt a pain in his head, which was very uncomfortable. Thinking of the drinking and heart-to-heart talk with his elder brother on the bow of the boat under the moon last night, he couldn't help but feel tenderness and smile. Inadvertently
Han Bing suddenly saw Yang Peng lying next to him. Han Bing was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered something. His whole face was completely blushing, his slender neck was also completely red, and his whole body was on fire! He quickly looked at the clothes on his body.
, found that the clothes and skirts were still on, although they were a little messy, but there was no sign of being untied. Then he realized that although the two of them were sleeping in the same bed, nothing embarrassing had happened. Han Bing breathed a sigh of relief, but in his heart
Deep down, he was very disappointed. Seeing that Yang Peng was still sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but lay his body on his chest and closed his long eyelashes.
The flat boat went north along the canal, entered Sishui and entered Shandong, then went north along the river and entered Liangshanbo. Then the flat boat sailed into Jishui and arrived at Qizhou. Everyone landed here and traveled north by land to the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.
At the border, Han Bing said: "Brother, my little sister bids farewell to you here!"
Yang Peng was stunned, "Aren't you going back to Yanjing?" Han Bing shook his head, looked at Yang Peng with his beautiful eyes, and said: "I have been living with my elder brother day and night these days. My little sister has lived a very happy life and has had enough rest. I have no time to go back to Yanjing."
If necessary, why not just return to Shanxi."
Yang Peng understood Han Bing's thoughts, couldn't help but sigh, reached out and held Han Bing's delicate hand, and warned: "When you arrive in Shanxi, don't work too hard, pay attention to rest!" Han Bing nodded and looked at Yang deeply.
Peng glanced at it, then turned his horse's head and ran towards the west. The flying phoenix female guards immediately rode their horses to follow. A group of beautiful figures gradually went away. Yang Peng stared at them, and his heart seemed to be taken away.
It wasn't until they climbed over a small hill and could no longer see it that Yang Peng withdrew his gaze and shouted: "Let's go!" Then a large group of people galloped towards Yanjing...
His eyes turned to Xixia.
Xingqingfu, the capital of the Western Xia Dynasty, is probably located in what is now Yinchuan City. It is backed by the majestic and snow-capped Helan Mountains and next to the majestic Yellow River. Although its scale is not as good as that of the big cities in the Central Plains, it is also a prosperous place with mountains and rivers.
The weather is extraordinary. Many of the buildings there are different from those in the Central Plains, full of an exotic atmosphere. This difference is more obvious than the difference between the Liao and Jin Dynasties and the Central Plains. There are many business travelers traveling through the city, with various skin colors and clothing colors.
Mixed in this famous city, various languages reverberate in the ears, and people are like being in the Museum of All Nations, feeling at a loss.
The atmosphere in Xingqing Mansion was a bit depressing. Angry and excited words were heard from time to time in the taverns and teahouses, all directed at Yan Yun. Since Xi Xia was defeated by Yan Yun not long ago, there has been an angry and uneasy atmosphere in Xi Xia's capital.
Two voices echoed in Xixia society. One voice demanded revenge and asked the court to use all the elites of Xixia to avenge Yan Yun. The other voice was very worried. They believed that Yan Yun's tiger and wolf divisions could not even be so powerful.
The Khitans are not opponents, let alone Xixia. It is very unwise to be an enemy of Yanyun. The recent defeat illustrates this. The Khitans gave up places such as northern Shaanxi and ceded Shanxi to Xixia. They obviously had bad intentions.
, just want Xixia to fight with Yanyun, so that the Khitans can reap the benefits.
Li Tianhao stood outside his study room, looking at the gloomy sky, feeling very surprised and frowning slightly. The housekeeper rushed over and saluted: "Your Majesty, your Majesty has summoned you!" Li Tianhao withdrew his gaze and thought for a moment.
, ordered: "Prepare the horses!" The butler promised and ran down. Li Tianhao hurried back to the back room to change into court clothes, and then left the mansion. At this time, his horse and entourage were ready. Li Tianhao
He got on his horse and headed to the palace surrounded by all the guards.
Li Tianhao came to the entrance of the palace and dismounted. A eunuch who had been waiting at the entrance of the palace immediately came forward to greet him. After a few greetings, Li Tianhao was introduced into the palace. Soon after, Li Tianhao appeared in the imperial study room of the palace and glanced at the imperial study room.
Inside, I saw the prime ministers and generals on the left and right, and then I saluted the old man who was sitting on top, who was sick and obviously too drunk. "Your Majesty, Li Tianhao, pays homage to your Majesty!"
The emperor said in a feeble voice: "No need to be polite!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Li Tianhao stood up, walked to the right and stood behind the two people. The emperor glanced at the prime minister on the right, who was a tall, thin man with sharp eyes.
, named Ao Daochong, was a representative of the hard-line Xixia faction, which is now known as the hawks. The emperor said: "The right prime minister suggested that we use all the Xixia elites to go south for revenge," and his eyes immediately moved to the left prime minister.
A man with a rich temperament and affable temperament named Li Tongren. He did not agree with the alliance with the Khitans from the beginning. In his opinion, although the Khitans were strong, they were aging people, and although Yan Yun was weaker
, but it is the newborn sun with a bright future. The strength of the Khitan people has been completely understood, but Yan Yun's future development is still unknown. It is really unwise to rashly become an enemy of Yan Yun at this time. The emperor said: "Left
The Prime Minister does not agree, but thinks that the entire Qingfeng Road and Yongxing Military Road should be abandoned."
The Prime Minister on the right rushed out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, if we don't take revenge with all our strength at this moment, I'm afraid Yan Yun will look down on us, which is definitely not a good thing for us Xixia! As for the lands ceded to us by the Khitans,
What cannot be given away is often land. Land is wealth and strength. If you give those lands to Yanyun, Yanyun will be stronger, but our Xixia power will inevitably be damaged. As one goes down and the other goes up, Yanyun will inevitably
How should we respond when our arrogance leads us to push beyond the limits? Should we continue to tolerate the traitor, or should we rise up to fight? If we choose the former, our strength will be further damaged if we continue to be humiliated. If we choose the latter, then why bother to do it before?
What about surrendering? Therefore, I believe that the decisive battle with Yanyun is inevitable. Our country must not have any illusions. We should go all out to defeat Yanyun and take revenge to regain Shanxi!"
The emperor was very moved.
Prime Minister Zuo frowned and said: "The previous battle has already demonstrated the power of the Yanyun Army! If our army goes to war again, can we guarantee victory? If we are defeated again, we will not only lose those who do not belong to us.
The consequences will be even more serious! But now, the Khitan people have no time to take care of themselves, and the Song Dynasty has become frightened. It is simply impossible for our family to deal with Yan Yun! What is the benefit of showing courage to the country? Now Yan Yun has defeated the Khitan people one after another.
With the Song Dynasty, the military front is at its peak, so we should avoid its sharp edge!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
