Yang Peng said loudly: "Let them come over." After hearing Yang Peng's order, the secret guard immediately got out of the way. The family hurriedly ran over, knelt down with a plop, kowtowed, and everyone looked excited.
At the extreme point, I can only kowtow and don’t know what to say.
Yang Peng helped the old mother up and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, get up, it doesn't have to be like this!" Everyone stood up one after another. The old mother cried and said: "I thought we were dead, but I didn't expect that King Yan
He actually sent someone to save us lowly commoners! I, I..." He couldn't help the excitement in his heart and knelt down to Yang Peng again. Yang Peng supported her and said with a smile: "Old man, you don't have to be like this! I will save you.
Something we should do!”
The old father was moved and said: "I have lived for such a long time and have seen countless officials. Who of them treat us ordinary people as human beings? No one cares about our life and death! There is only the King of Yan, only the King of Yan...
"I was so excited that I choked on the next words.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "No need to be grateful, I am satisfied that you can live a good life!" Several people looked at Yang Peng with infinite excitement, and the second child Xiang Hu suddenly said loudly: "King Yan, you are so good, I
I want to follow you to conquer the world!" Xiang Meng said quickly: "King Yan, you promised me before, let me be your subordinate, you can't keep your word!"
Yang Peng took a look at the two brothers and saw that they were extremely strong and strong. He felt that even if they did not know martial arts, they were definitely the embryos of powerful generals. If they were trained for a period of time, they would definitely become powerful warriors on the battlefield. He said with a smile: "You guys
If you want to join the Yanyun Army, I will naturally welcome you, but what about your parents?"
The old father quickly said: "The two of us can still move and take care of ourselves. Besides, don't we have two wives?" Xiang Hu nodded vigorously, glanced at his wife, and said carelessly: "My wife is
You should take care of your parents, otherwise why would you marry a wife?" The two women smiled honestly.
The old mother begged: "King Yan, although my two incompetent sons don't have any great abilities, they are strong and courageous. They can definitely serve as soldiers for King Yan!"
Yang Peng laughed and said, "The old man is too humble. These two are not just material for being soldiers!" The whole family looked very happy when they heard this.
Yang Peng said to their family: "You are staying in the military camp for the time being. I will send someone to inform you of what will happen next." The family was obedient, but Xiang Hu felt uneasy and asked: "King Yan, do you really agree to let us join the army?"
"Yes?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Yes!" Xiang Hu grinned. Yang Peng said: "Okay, let's all go down and rest." The family responded and bowed respectfully to Yang Peng.
Turned around and left.
Yang Peng looked at their backs and smiled, then turned and walked into the tent. Wang Kai stayed outside the tent, while Yelu Hanyu and Han Bing followed in.
Han Bing said: "To be honest, I really don't understand why the elder brother sent people to take risks to rescue them?" Yelu Hanyu looked at Yang Peng in confusion. Yang Peng said calmly: "This is our responsibility, isn't it?
"The two women were stunned and looked at each other, both looking puzzled. Yang Peng glanced at the two women and said: "We Yanyun are like a big family, and we are the parents of this big family. Common people
We are members of a big family. If something happens to someone in the family, can we parents not ask about it?"
The two women fell silent, and Han Bing sighed, "This truth couldn't be simpler. Moreover, I thought the same way a long time ago before I followed my eldest brother. I believe that those officials and emperors are the heads of the big family of China, and they should
Take the responsibility of taking care of them. If you can't do this, you are unqualified, and you are not qualified to be his official or his emperor! However, I don't know when, I gradually felt that the people of the world should serve us.
, we are superior, it is natural for them to serve us and serve us! Just like what the literati said, "The king is the minister, if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die", they should die for us! ...
"
Yang Peng smiled and glanced at Han Bing, "It's not surprising that you have such thoughts! Such things as power can make people have such thoughts unconsciously!"
Han Bing couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. Yelu Hanyu saw it and smiled and said: "Sister Han Bing, you don't have to be embarrassed. My sister didn't realize this when she was a princess!" After a pause, he frowned and said: "Now that I think about it,
At that time, I worked tirelessly and conscientiously, not for the people at all, but just for the prosperity of our Yelu family! At that time, I just hated the people for not doing their best for our Yelu family, and did not think much about what our Yelu family should do for the people! Maybe!
, maybe what all the dynasties have said is wrong!”
Yang Peng said: "Of course it's wrong! The world belongs to the people of the world, so why do people in the world work so hard to support one family? The world of families, huh, how come this world has become one family with one surname? I couldn't justify it, so I made it up.
A set of nonsense about the divine right of kings. Everything in the world was created by God. So if God grants me power, it will be legal for me to dominate the world! In fact, these are all bullshit. They were made up by the emperors to fool the people! The people chose you.
, you are legal, otherwise you are a thief! If the people are not satisfied with you, they can rise up and rebel against you!"
The two women felt the same way, and Han Bing said: "What the elder brother said makes sense!"
Yelu Hanyu's beautiful eyes rolled around, and she asked Yang Peng teasingly: "Don't you think that the eldest brother will not learn the practices of the past dynasties in the future?" Yang Peng shook his head, "I have no interest in the world at all!" He glanced at the two women and seemed to be joking.
He said: "I'm afraid you aspire to be a queen and a concubine!" Unexpectedly, the two women said in unison: "What's so good about that!" The two women were stunned, looked at each other and smiled. Han Bing glared at Yang Peng, "You
If we really become the emperor, we will have to live in the harem all day long. So many rules are already annoying, and we have to endure the overt and secret fighting in the harem. That is really not a life for humans!" Yelu Han raindrops.
He nodded, "Sister Han Bing is so right!" Looking at Yang Peng, "I mean, if one day in the future, we can live in seclusion in a paradise, then the gods will not change!" Han Bing felt the same way.
nodded.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "What's so difficult?" Yelu Hanyu rolled his eyes at Yang Peng, "It's easy to talk about it now, but how can things in this world be carried out according to one's own wishes! In the future, brother, how could you not
Be the emperor!..."
At this time, Yang Erya was awakened by the voices of the three people talking. He rubbed his eyes and asked drowsily: "Is the eldest brother going to be the emperor?" The three people saw Yang Erya's cute appearance and couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at each other and smiling, Yelu Hanyu said with a smile: "Yes, my eldest brother is going to be the emperor. Can I make you the queen?"
Yang Erya hadn't fully woken up yet. When she heard this, she quickly shook her head and said: "How can I be the queen? The queen is not sister Yelu, but also sister Yonghui!" Sister Yelu is naturally Yelu Hanyu and sister Yonghui,
It's Chai Yonghui. In fact, in terms of order, the first one to enter is naturally Yang Tong. The first comes first. She should be the best choice for the queen. However, people always attach great importance to birth status. Yang Tong
Although she was the first woman to follow Yang Peng, she was born too poor. In anyone's opinion, it was impossible for her to be the mistress of Prince Yan's palace. Naturally, if Yang Peng became emperor in the future, the choice of queen would be overwhelming.
It couldn't be her, but Yelu Hanyu or Chai Yonghui. These two women followed Yang Peng earlier, and they were both born very noble. The Chai family has been aristocratic and scholarly for generations, and the Yelu family is of the bloodline of the former Liao emperor. They are the only two.
Only worthy of a mother to grace the world.
Yang Peng chuckled, "Then what do you want to do if you don't become the queen?" Yang Erya gradually woke up, and suddenly found that his eldest brother and two sisters were looking at him with a smile. Thinking of the words he just said, his beautiful face turned.
Her face suddenly turned red, and Nini was very uneasy.
Han Bing said: "Brother asked you, but you haven't answered yet?" Yang Erya looked at Han Bing blankly, and Han Bing said angrily: "Brother asked you, what do you want to do if you don't want to be a queen?" Yang Erya was very shy.
, stole a glance at Yang Peng, lowered his head and whispered: "I don't dare to be the queen. I can do anything except the queen!" The three of them heard her speak deeply and could not help but move slightly.
In the following time, the Khitan army, under the supervision of Yeqihu City, continued to attack Yanmen Pass. The offensive was like a wave. Wave after wave, the Khitan army became furious and looked like it would not give up until Yanmen Pass was conquered. However, Yanmen Pass
Isn't Mentian dangerous just talk about it? It is like an indestructible dam that firmly locks the raging flood. No matter how high the wind and the waves are, you can't shake it at all. Instead, the vicious waves hit it and broke it into pieces.
!
For seven consecutive days, the Khitan army continued to attack, but without making any progress. The majestic city wall of Yanmen Pass had been soaked in blood and turned into a mottled dark red. Under the city wall, there were mountains of corpses, thousands of feathers, and broken siege walls everywhere.
Equipment, abandoned swords and guns were everywhere, and the world was a miserable scene. After seven days, the Khitan army had exhausted its energy and was already exhausted.
The atmosphere in the Khitan army's tent was depressing. Everyone no longer had the determination to win before, and became dejected and out of spirits.
Da Lan couldn't help but murmured: "It seems that Gan Buli has said it. The natural dangers of Yanmen are really insurmountable for us!" The generals couldn't help but nodded. Ye Qi Hucheng's heart skipped a beat, and he felt very unhappy.
, but it was hard to say anything. I couldn't help but wonder if I should retreat. It would not be too late to change course at this time. I couldn't help but glance at the generals, and I couldn't bear to look at this face. Changing course would be admitting failure. This
Where should I put my face?
At this moment, there were rapid footsteps at the door, and everyone couldn't help but look towards the door, only to see a private officer leading a middle-aged man in Xixia attire with a dusty appearance running in.
The officer knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, the envoy of Generalissimo Li Zongdao of Xixia is here, saying that he has urgent military affairs to report to Your Majesty!" Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man bowed and bowed:
"I am here to report to the king on the orders of my general marshal that our three hundred thousand elite troops from Great Xia have set out for Yinzhou and will launch an attack on Yinzhou soon!" When everyone heard this, they were all in high spirits.
I saw the Xixia messenger taking out a letter from his arms and holding it up with both hands, "This is an autographed letter from my Generalissimo. Please read it!"
Yeqi Hucheng immediately winked at Ye Qian, who immediately stepped forward to receive the letter and returned and forwarded it to Yeqi Hucheng. Yeqi Hucheng received the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and unfolded it to read it.
, with a look of joy on his face. He raised his head and glanced at the generals, and said excitedly: "Generalissimo Li Zongdao will concentrate his efforts to attack Yinzhou, but he will only make feints in the direction of Changcheng Ridge to contain the main force of the Volcano Army." Stand up and walk to
In front of the map, he pointed at Yinzhou, and then moved his finger to the southeast, suddenly cutting across Shanxi. "General Li Zongdao planned to attack Yinzhou in one go, and then the main army suddenly turned to the southeast, invaded the hinterland of Shanxi, and cut off the Yanmen Pass.
Way back!"
The generals were overjoyed, and Dallan said: "In this case, our Yanyun army here will have no choice but to retreat, and Yanmen Pass can't be conquered without a fight!" The generals nodded one after another, looking very excited. Long Ba sighed, "
It's just that winning like this is really shameless!" Dallan said angrily: "On the battlefield, there are only wins and losses, so why do you care about so many things?"
Xiao Hong frowned and said: "The plan is good, but will it be successful?" These words poured cold water on everyone who was excited, and they couldn't help but worry: Xixia has 300,000 elites, which is quite a lot of people, but they can only defeat them.
Is the Yanyun Army in front of them? It is so difficult for us to face the Yanyun Army, let alone the Xixia people! Those 170,000 Yanyun soldiers in northern Shaanxi are all elites in hundreds of battles!
When the messenger saw that everyone doubted his own fighting power, he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied and said: "Our army has a very thorough plan and the enemy is unprepared, so it will definitely succeed! There is also another situation. Our country's Princess Qingxia has already sent an envoy to Tibet. I believe it can be done."
Convince Tibet to attack Yanyun together! Our three countries are all very powerful, there is no reason why we cannot defeat Yanyun!" When everyone heard that Tibet might join in, they were really surprised and happy.
Ye Qian Hucheng thought for a moment and said to the messenger: "We are very happy that your country can abide by the covenant and send troops to help!" The messenger bowed; "I dare not!" He raised his head and said, "Our country has a request, please do you agree to it?" Yes.
Qian Hucheng knew that nothing in the world was cheap. Since the other party had all the elites, they must be asking for something. He asked calmly: "What do you want?"
The messenger said: "Our request is actually very small. We just ask the Liao Kingdom to abide by their previous commitment and hand over all of Shanxi to us." The generals were in an uproar, but they all knew that there had been such an agreement before, and it was hard to blame them.
What? Yeqian Hucheng nodded without hesitation: "Yes, but Yanmen Pass is crucial to the security of our country, Liao, and must be controlled by our Liao!" The messenger said with joy on his face: "No problem! Since we said
It’s settled, I’ll ask the king to write a relevant letter to reply to my grand marshal!” Yeli Hucheng smiled coldly, spread the letter paper in front of him, picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and wrote a letter quickly. It’s over.
, checked it carefully and handed it to the messenger, "Take it!"
The messenger came forward, took it with both hands, looked at it once, smiled with satisfaction, then folded it carefully, put it in his arms, bowed and said: "If your Majesty has no other instructions, I will take my leave!"
Ye Qianhucheng stood up, walked up to the messenger, glanced at him, and asked: "Is your Princess Qingxia confident in persuading Tibet?" The messenger said: "There should be no problem. In fact, in addition to being an envoy to Tibet, the princess also
We also need to send an envoy to the Song Dynasty in the south to persuade them to send troops to attack Huainan from the south! If this plan can succeed, Yanyun will be destroyed!" Ye Qi Hucheng nodded, "Okay, you can go!" The messenger said to Ye
Qian Hucheng bowed and exited the tent.
Ye Qi Hucheng returned to the commander's case and began to think about it. He tapped the commander's button in front of him with his fingers, making a shivering sound. All the generals knew that Ye Qi Hucheng was thinking about something and did not dare to disturb him.
Suddenly, Ye Qihucheng turned around, glanced at the generals, and sneered: "The Han people have a saying, the mantis stalks the cicada before the oriole is behind! They want to think of us and Yan Yun as the mantis and the cicada, and they themselves will be the mantis and the cicada."
Bird! What a beautiful thought!" General Xiao Yeqian couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I really don't understand why I agreed to the request of the Xixia people! We worked hard to attack Yanmen Pass, but in the end, the Xixia people occupied Shanxi.
It’s so irritating!” Many generals echoed, all looking unhappy.
Ye Qi Hucheng smiled coldly, "They want to take advantage, but we can't?" The generals didn't know what was going on and looked at each other. Ye Qi Hucheng said: "Stop attacking from now on and spread the news.
They say we are out of food and supplies and are about to retreat."
Xiao Hong praised: "The king's plan is brilliant! If our army makes a gesture of giving up, then once northern Shaanxi is in danger, Yang Peng will definitely send troops from Yanmen Pass for reinforcements! At that time, if our army suddenly attacks Yanmen Pass, we will definitely be able to break through the pass and move south.
Central Plains!" The generals became excited. Ye Qi Hucheng sneered and said: "When my army goes south and takes Shanxi first, then whether Shanxi will be handed over to Xixia is a matter for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor. I am just a minister.
How can I count!" The generals laughed.
Han Changdao: "Your Majesty, since it has been decided, without further delay, let's put on a posture of withdrawing our troops tomorrow and spread the news at the same time!"
Yeqi Hucheng thought for a moment and nodded. That morning, Yang Peng was patrolling the city wall and looked towards the enemy camp outside the pass. He saw that the enemy camp was very busy and seemed to be about to leave the camp.
Yang Peng couldn't help but worry: "Is it possible that Yeqi Hucheng has finally woken up and is ready to give up attacking Yanmen Pass and return to attack Datong Prefecture?" "Damn it, the Khitans are going to run away!" Yang Jingza shouted bluffingly. Han
Bing frowned and said: "I'm afraid they are giving up attacking Yanmen Pass and going to besiege Datong Mansion! This is not a good thing!"
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from outside the gate, and a scout was seen galloping from a distance. When he came to the gate, he suddenly reined in the horse, and the horse stood up. The scout shouted
"I have an urgent military situation. Open the door quickly!" The city gate opened with a creak. The scout galloped in, and then the city gate closed again with a creak.
The scout ran straight to the city wall, came to Yang Peng, and paid homage: "Greetings to King Yan! My subordinates found out the news outside the city that the Khitan army is short of food and grass and is preparing to retreat!"
Yang Peng felt a little surprised, "Insufficient food and grass?" The scout nodded, "In the early hours of this morning, my subordinates and their cavalry captured two patrols of the other party, and obtained this information after torture!"
Yang Peng thought about it: "If there is not enough food and grass, we will have to retreat. There will be no possibility of going back to besiege Datong Mansion. How come victory comes so suddenly?" He looked at Han Bing and said, "Hongyu, what do you think?" Han Bing
He frowned and shook his head and said: "It's hard to judge. It may be true or it may be false! If it is true, then we will win this battle; if it is false, then what is the purpose of Yeqi Hucheng?" Yang Peng
He frowned and murmured: "This is something I didn't expect!" Yang Jing couldn't help but said loudly: "Since eldest brother and sister-in-law couldn't think of it, there is no problem!"
Yang Peng and Han Bing looked at each other and smiled. Yang Peng nodded and said: "Yang Jing's words make sense!" Yang Jing was very happy when he heard that Yang Peng agreed with his words and said loudly: "Since there is no problem, then we will win.
Well, now that we win, we can eat well and sleep well!"
Yang Peng chuckled and said, "You cow, you probably haven't eaten or slept well these days! Forget it, I'll give you two days off and allow you to do nothing but eat, drink and sleep!" Yang Jing was overjoyed, "Brother
, This is what you said!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "I said it!" Yang Jing said: "Then I will go!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded. Yang Jing sang happily and ran down the city wall.
.
Yang Peng glanced at Yang Jing's back and said with a smile: "Yang Jing is as simple as a child!" Yang Peng joked: "Children don't know how to carry two axes to chop people!" Han Bing chuckled. Thinking of the situation in front of him.
The Khitan people couldn't help but frowned again, "Are the Khitan people really retreating or are they fake?" Yang Peng looked at the Khitan army camp in the distance and frowned: "Since we don't understand the situation clearly, we can't take it lightly.
!" After a pause, "Send additional scouts to monitor the enemy's movements. I want to see what tricks Yeli Hucheng is up to!" Han Bing smiled and said, "Maybe that's what Yang Jing said. If I can't think of a problem, then that's it.
No problem, no problem, we win!" Yang Peng chuckled, "I hope so!" Then he frowned slightly, "It's just that this victory comes too suddenly!"
The sound of rapid footsteps was heard on the wall ladder. The two of them looked at the sound and saw Yang Erya running up in military uniform. He turned around and saw Yang Peng and Han Bing. His eyes were filled with joy and he hurried over.
"Brother, Sister Han Bing!" Yang Erya ran to the two of them and greeted them.
Yang Peng asked: "Did something happen in such a hurry?" Yang Erya handed a letter to Yang Peng, "This is the letter I just received. It is an urgent letter sent by General Yang Yanzhao!
"Yang Peng couldn't help but feel worried when he thought about the situation there. He accepted the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and read it, frowning tightly. After reading the letter, Yang Peng turned and looked at the Khitan in the distance.
Everyone in the military camp was lost in thought. Han Bing and Yang Erya were extremely curious, but they did not dare to disturb Yang Peng.
What happened after all? Let’s hear the details next time.
