In the capital of the Liao Kingdom, Fan Yongzheng, the envoy of Yanyun, and Handerang, the prime minister of the Liao Kingdom, were sitting in the back hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, drinking and talking. Handerang said with emotion: "We and Yanyun were originally sworn enemies, but we didn't expect that
Today we will actually form an alliance to deal with the same enemy!" Fan Yong couldn't help but sigh: "Not only did the Prime Minister not expect it, but I didn't expect it either! Less than a year ago, we were fighting to the death, but now we are fighting each other to the death.
It’s already a war turned into friendship! It’s really unimaginable that fate can manipulate people!”
Handerang poured a glass of wine, raised it up, and said: "Cheers to us for turning war into friendship!" Fan Yong raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Cheers to life and death together!" The two couldn't help laughing and drank the wine together. Putting down the wine glass, Fan Yong asked
He said: "Your country still has a large number of troops stationed on the Xijing Road. Are you still worried about us, Yan Yun?"
Handerang said in his heart: 'It's strange that you can rest assured.' But he would not say so, and said with a smile: "Your envoy has misunderstood, it is just a normal defense, not to guard against Yan Yun!"
How could Fan Yong believe this and said with a smile: "If your country doesn't have such thoughts, it would be best. If you have such thoughts, then there is no need. If we really want to take advantage of the situation, King Yan will
He will never lead a large army into Goryeo and risk a fierce battle with the Japanese. Instead, he will attack the Xijing Road and sweep the Khitan army!" Looking at Han Derang, he saw a thoughtful look on his face and continued: "With the combat power of our army, we will take advantage of the opportunity.
This is a great opportunity to sweep across Xijing Road with 100,000 elite troops. The Prime Minister is a smart man and should know that our army has a great chance of winning!"
Handerang raised his head and looked at Fan Yong and said: "Since your envoy got straight to the point, I won't beat around the bush. It can be said that you and the Japanese have no enmity in the past and have no enmity in recent times, but we in Daliao have fought countless battles with Yanyun.
, countless people of the Han people died at the hands of our Khitan people, and countless people of the Khitan people died at the hands of the Yanyun Army. It is not an exaggeration to say that the hatred between the two sides is as deep as the sea. Our country, the Liao Kingdom, is now facing a great disaster, and you should add insult to injury.
That's right, but why did he draw his sword to help? What exactly did King Yan have in mind, and what did he want to get?"
Fan Yong smiled and said, "The Prime Minister must have been holding back these words for a long time, right?" Handerang smiled, acquiescing.
Fan Yong said: "If I don't explain these things clearly, I'm afraid you will always have a grudge and suspect us of having ulterior motives." After a pause, "We, the King of Yan, decided to help the Liao Kingdom. Naturally, we did not want to be good people."
, completely for our own hegemony in Yanyun! Now the Mongols and the Japanese are at their peak. If we sit back and watch them destroy the Liao Kingdom, then we, Yanyun, will inevitably become their second target! To be honest, we, Yanyun, are up and down.
Although I am not afraid of any enemy, I am not sure if I face the Mongolian and Japanese coalition forces alone! Even if we can win in the end, we don’t know how many Yanyun warriors will die in battle. A miserable victory is not what we want!"
Han Derang remained silent and listened to him continue, only to hear Fan Yong continue: "The current situation between Liao and us can be said to be inseparable. Without Liao, it will definitely be a great disadvantage for Yanyun! I don't want to say either.
To lie, we and the Liao Kingdom may not be friends forever. As long as the Mongols and Japanese are suppressed, we Yanyun will continue to attack the Liao Kingdom!"
Handerang glanced at Fan Yong, laughed loudly, gave a thumbs up and said: "Okay! Brother Fan is worthy of being a subordinate of Yan Yun. He is quick to speak, and it is not false. It is a pleasure!" Fan Yong smiled and said: "I said this, the Prime Minister is just
I'm afraid I don't completely believe it. Let me provide you with another news. After you hear this news, you will no longer have any doubts!" Handerang looked curious. Fan Yong smiled and said: "Your country may not know yet.
When I came here, our King Yan had already led one hundred thousand elites into Goryeo!"
Handerang was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Is this true?" Fan Yong smiled and said: "Of course it is true! I believe you will also receive relevant reports soon!"
Han Derang said solemnly: "If Yan Yun really does this, we in the Liao Kingdom are by no means ungrateful people. We will wholeheartedly form an alliance with Yan Yun and deal with the Mongols and Japanese together!" Fan Yong smiled and said: "
I hope so!"
The two of them continued to drink and talk, and they stopped talking about business. Instead, they talked about romantic affairs. When men chatted, the topic naturally couldn't be separated from women. The two chatted while drinking, and laughed out loud from time to time...
The banquet ended happily. After Fan Yong returned to the State Guesthouse, Handerang left the mansion and hurried to the palace. In the imperial study, he met the Queen Mother and Wang Jun, and bowed and said: "Your Majesty." At this time, Wang Jun was sitting at the desk.
Looking back at the military report from Goryeo that I had just received not long ago, I frowned, looking worried and annoyed. Suddenly I threw the military report to the ground and cursed: "It's just a mess, it's all a mess! Our Daliao Army is a mess."
When they withdrew, they were defeated like a mountain!"
When Han Derang saw Wang Jun like this, although he hadn't read the military report, he basically guessed the current war situation on the Goryeo side. Wang Jun glanced at Han Derang and asked: "You and the envoy Yanyun are drinking, is it useful to cheat?"
Did you get the news?" Handerang bowed and said, "I was about to report it to the empress. I think Yanyun really wants to form an alliance with us to deal with the Japanese." Wang Jun snorted, "It's hard to say! Then
King Yan is as cunning as a fox and as fierce as a tiger. He may have deliberately said that he would help us deal with the Japanese, but in fact he wanted to take advantage of our unpreparedness and use his troops to attack us!"
Han Derang said: "I originally thought so too, but after listening to Fan Yong's words, I feel that they may not be what we imagined!" Then he detailed what Fan Yong said at the banquet.
After hearing this, Wang Jun looked thoughtful and couldn't help but murmured: "Such a reason is valid!" He glanced at Han Derang and frowned: "But just because of his behavior
I can't rest assured of what you said!" Han Derang remembered something and said quickly: "By the way, he also said that their King Yan has personally commanded a hundred thousand troops to attack Goryeo, and he may be fighting fiercely with the Japanese at this moment!" Wang
Jun's eyes lit up and he felt unbelievable.
At this moment, a female officer hurried in and reported: "Madam, a messenger from Korea is here!" Wang Jun said: "It's the right time to come, please declare his presence quickly!" The female officer responded and ran immediately.
After going down, the voice of "The envoy is here to see you" sounded from outside the imperial study room and continued towards the palace gate.
Not long after, a dusty middle-aged officer rushed into the royal study, knelt down in front of the king, and kowtowed: "I pay my respects to the great empress dowager. May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
Wang Jun asked anxiously: "How is the war situation in Goryeo?"
The middle-aged officer looked horrified and said: "Kaijing has been lost. Our army has retreated to Pyongyang, the capital of the West. Your Majesty has decided to rely on the fortified city of Pyongyang to defend it!" Wang Jun frowned. She did not expect that her compatriots had even lost Kaijing.
The situation was already extremely critical. Unfortunately, the northern front was losing consecutive battles against the Mongols. The Khitan army was unable to protect itself and could not support Goryeo. The king was very anxious, but at this moment, he had no other choice but to be anxious.
That night, Wang Jun had a terrible nightmare and woke up with a scream. The whole inner courtyard of the palace was in chaos until the next morning.
The king cheered up and went to court in the morning. All the civil and military officials saw that the king looked haggard, and couldn't help but think of the current situation in the north, and couldn't help but feel worried. In the main hall, the king asked the officials about their strategies to deal with the current crisis, but there was silence in the main hall.
, no one can share her worries. The king was angry in his heart. He only felt that these high-sounding ministers were of no use except for showing off their power in front of the people. He really wanted to kill them all!
The king was impatient and wanted to leave the court, so he stood up. When the eunuch next to him saw this, he was about to raise his voice and sing a promise. At this moment, an officer from the royal army hurried in and knelt down and said:
"Your Majesty, there is a military report from Goryeo!"
Wang Jun thought it was bad news again, so he couldn't help but become nervous and wanted to ignore it, but how could that be possible? He hesitated for a moment and said to the officer: "Announcement!" The officer agreed and ran down.
After sitting back on the dragon chair, the baby emperor who was used as a decoration started to cry. The king was in a irritable mood and said to the old eunuch standing next to him: "Take the emperor down." The old eunuch responded and hugged him.
The emperor went down, followed by several palace maids.
A travel-worn messenger rushed into the hall and paid homage to the king: "I pay my respects to the great empress dowager. May you live a thousand years!"
Wang Jun sighed and raised his voice: "Tell me what's going on!"
The officer said anxiously: "I'm reporting to you, Pyongyang has been lost, and the remnants of our army have retreated to the mountains in the north." The monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom had long been numb to the successive bad news from Goryeo. Now that they heard such bad news,
I didn’t feel too much, I just thought: I lost again! It would be strange if I didn’t lose.
The king felt a headache and rubbed his temples. The officer said: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, please send reinforcements as soon as possible. Our army can't hold on for long!"
Wang Jun couldn't help but get angry and said: "Not only can you not hold on for long, but you can't hold on for even a moment! The Japanese launched a counterattack from the southern seaside, and they were overwhelming all the way. In such a short period of time, you actually lost all your kingdoms! Really, really...
" She wanted to scold them as useless people and trash, but she thought that they were her compatriots after all, and it was not easy to scold them in front of the Liao officials, so the curse words that came to her lips could not be uttered.
After the discussion, Wang Jun came to the back garden to relax. Thinking of the current situation, he felt the pressure was pressing down like Mount Tai, as if he couldn't breathe. Suddenly a thought came to his mind: 'What if the Yanyun Army really sent troops?
How wonderful!' At this moment, she only felt extremely tired, and really wanted to have a man for her to rely on. Then she shook her head and smiled bitterly, feeling that she was really wishful thinking. Although the envoy of King Yan said something nice, I'm afraid it was
It was a trick on the part of King Yan. If he believed it to be true, he would probably die without a burial place. He sighed quietly and turned to look at the sun in the sky. The sunlight hit his eyes and he felt confused.
A female officer rushed behind Wang Jun and bowed: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is here." When the discussion was breaking up, Wang Jun asked the eunuch to inform Handerang to come to the imperial garden to see him, saying that they had important matters to discuss, and Handerang received the call.
After being notified, he immediately left the main hall through the main gate, and then went to the imperial garden through the ministerial passage next to the main hall. Although the Liao Kingdom did not have as many stinky rules as the Song Dynasty, as a minister, he could not leave the main hall through the back door with his master.
The king turned around and saw Handerang standing respectfully in the distance waiting for the call, so he said to the female officer: "Bring the prime minister up." The female officer responded, ran down, and led Handerang to the king.
Han Derang bowed and said: "I have met the empress." Wang Jun sighed and frowned: "The times are difficult, but no one can share my worries for Your Majesty!" Han Derang couldn't help but feel ashamed, and blamed himself: "I am incompetent!" Wang Jun shook his head.
Shaking his head, "I can't blame you. The Prime Minister is the head of a hundred officials and is in charge of internal affairs. Military affairs are not your responsibility. The Prime Minister does not need to blame himself!"
Han Derang said: "Mother, the war in the north is difficult, and the situation in Korea in the south is also dangerous. Should we withdraw all the 200,000 troops guarding Xijing Road?"
Wang Jun frowned and said: "I can't make up my mind! What is Yang Peng's idea? If we withdraw the army and the Yan Yun army suddenly attacks, the situation will be even more dangerous!" Han Derang felt that Wang Jun was talking about it.
It makes sense, but I didn’t know what to do for a while.
An officer of the Royal Army rushed over and bowed: "My Lady, Yan Yun's envoy Mr. Fan Yong is asking for an audience outside the palace!" Wang Jun was startled, glanced at Han Derang, and asked, "What is he here for?"
Handerang shook his head and said: "I don't know, but since he came outside the palace to ask for a meeting, I'm afraid there is something important, so it would be better for the queen to meet him!" Wang Jun nodded and said to the officer: "Bring him over here.
." The officer promised, ran down, and led Fan Yong over a moment later.
Fan Yong bowed and said: "Fan Yong, the envoy from Yanyun, has met the empress." Wang Jun said with a smile: "Your envoy does not need to be polite. Your envoy came to visit suddenly, what do you want to teach me?" Fan Yong smiled and said: "I brought it specially to the empress.
Here comes the good news!" Wang Jun and Han Derang were slightly surprised and looked at each other. Fan Yong took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang Jun, saying: "This is the letter I just received from Yanjing.
Please read the letter you have received."
Countless thoughts came to Wang Jun's mind. He took the letter, took out the letter paper, unfolded it, and read it. Wang Jun's beautiful face originally showed a look of doubt, but after a moment, the look of doubt turned into surprise. It was hard to believe
He said with confidence: "I didn't expect that King Yan really sent troops to Goryeo, and also attacked Jinchuan, and defeated a Japanese army of 100,000 in Haizhou! This, this,..." Wang Jun was so excited that he didn't even think about this for a long time.
'This' came out of nowhere. Handerang on the side also looked very excited.
Wang Jun looked at Fan Yong and said excitedly: "I really wronged King Yan. I didn't expect that King Yan would actually come to help us!" Fan Yong smiled and said: "It's human nature for the Queen to not believe it before. The Queen also
There is no need to be grateful, because we are doing this for ourselves. No matter what happened to both of us in the past, at least our intentions and purposes are consistent at this moment! We are allies!" Wang Jun nodded, "Yes, we are allies.
!”
Fan Yong said: "However, due to the problem of food and grass, the scale of our army's troop dispatch is limited after all, and the Goryeo army was defeated too quickly. King Yan's 100,000-strong army can only contain the Japanese army to a certain extent. I am afraid that the Japanese will eventually
When troops approach the border of Liao Kingdom, whether you can withstand the Japanese attack depends on you in the end!" Wang Jun and Handerang frowned and nodded.
The two sides talked for a while, and Fan Yong said what he said when he met with the king before, saying that as long as the Liao Kingdom made a request, Yanyun would definitely try its best to help, etc. At that time, the Liao Kingdom's monarchs and ministers did not take Fan Yong's statement seriously.
, but at this moment, it is a different feeling. There is a sense of peace of mind that there are allies around you that you can rely on.
Fan Yong said goodbye and left. Wang Jun asked Han Derang: "Prime Minister, do you think this news is true?" Han Derang thought for a while and said: "It should be true! It won't be long before this news can be confirmed. Yan Yun still has
You won't commit such a clumsy deception!" Wang Jun nodded. Later that day, news came from Wang Jun's own intelligence system, confirming the authenticity of Fan Yong's news. The monarchs and ministers of Liao were very excited, and even
Some people couldn't control themselves and cried. This feeling of receiving help from others in times of crisis was something the kings and ministers of the Liao Kingdom had never experienced before.
Since Wang Jun was sure that Yanyun was wholeheartedly helping him, he had no scruples and immediately ordered Xijing Road to leave only the most basic defensive force, and the remaining 200,000 troops were transferred back to Zhongjing to deal with the crisis!
At the same time that Wang Jun issued this order, Yan Yun's army had to retreat from Goryeo. Of course, the Liao Kingdom had to wait for a while to get the news...
His eyes returned to Yanjing. Yang Peng received the intelligence sent back from Beijing by Fan Yong and Du Cai one after another. He learned that the Liao Kingdom had transferred all the troops from Xijing Road back, and he couldn't help but said to Ye Qi Guanyin beside him:
"There are less than 30,000 soldiers and horses left on the Xijing Road. This is a great opportunity to seize the Xijing Road!" Ye Qi Guanyin snorted, "Stop teasing me! I know you won't do such a thing!" Yang Yang said.
He raised his eyebrows and said: "Even if you want to do this, I won't say anything! Although I hope that the Daliao Kingdom will be painless, I hope that Yanyun will become stronger and stronger! If Yanyun wants to destroy the Daliao Kingdom, I will
I have no choice but to support you!"
Yang Peng looked at the woman in front of him, and what else could he say besides being moved.
Yang Peng looked at the letter in his hand, threw it on the desk, sighed, and said: "The Liao Kingdom has concentrated all its efforts now, but as far as the current situation is concerned, the odds are still high. If there was only one Mongolia,
The Liao Kingdom should be able to turn the crisis around, but there is still a Japanese army watching in the southeast of the Liao Kingdom! At this moment, the Japanese army may have launched an attack on the Liao Kingdom! The fate of the Liao Kingdom depends on God's will! If the Liao Kingdom can survive for a period
Years later, we can help them!" Ye Qi Guanyin frowned.
At dinner that day, Yang Peng and Yedi Guanyin sat together to eat and drink. Yedi Guanyin had something on her mind. One glass of wine followed another. Although she was a hero among women, she could not withstand a large jar of strong wine and became drunk.
At the dinner table, she fell unconscious. Yang Peng never tried to persuade her, knowing that she had something on her mind, so he let her get drunk to vent her anger.
Yang Peng held Ye Qi Guanyin in his arms and stood up. Looking at her beautiful and resolute face, he couldn't help but feel infinite love and affection in his heart, and said with a smile: "What a stupid woman, drunk like this! What if?
Isn't it a great danger if my husband is not around?" He carried Ye Guanyin around the ladies' screen, walked to the bed, and gently put Ye Xi Guanyin down. Ye Xi Guanyin suddenly shouted: "I want to kill him.
You guys!!" Yang Peng was startled, and looked at Ye Qi Guanyin's cheek, and saw that her eyes were closed. It turned out that she had not woken up, but was just talking in her sleep. Yang Peng sighed, with infinite tenderness rising in his heart, and leaned down
After kissing Yedi Guanyin's red lips, Yedi Guanyin suddenly raised her right fist and hit Yang Peng hard on the eye socket. Yang Peng let out an ouch and almost fell to the ground.
He quickly covered his left eye socket and stood up, looking at Ye Qi Guanyin, and saw that she was shouting and talking in her sleep, waving her hands vigorously, as if she was fighting with someone.
Yang Peng pulled the quilt leaning on the back of the bed and covered it with Ye Qi Guanyin. He turned around and walked out of the screen, came to the desk on the first floor, picked up the mirror on the desk and took a look, only to see his left eye socket.
A circle of black and green, like a one-eyed panda, made me laugh and cry. I pressed it gently, and it really hurt! Yang Peng murmured: "Guanyin is really wild! Damn, how can I go out to meet people like this?
!”…
Ye Qi Guanyin woke up slowly and sat up from the bed. He held his head with one hand and felt the pain in his head. It was very uncomfortable. He took a deep breath and looked around, and found that there was no
It was not my own room. I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that I was sleeping in my elder brother’s room. After thinking about it, I realized what was going on. I subconsciously looked down at myself and found that the clothes on my body still looked like I was drunk.
There was no difference at all, and I couldn't help but be very surprised. I couldn't help but murmured: "It's strange that he didn't take the opportunity to trick me. Has he changed his gender?" Suddenly, worry arose in his heart, and he frowned and murmured: "Could it be that he didn't take the opportunity to trick me?"
, Brother, is he no longer interested in me?" Then he became angry and said harshly, "If he dares to abandon me, I will kill him and then commit suicide!"
Ye Qi Guanyin got off the bed and walked out of the screen. When she saw a light coming from under the stairs, she walked over.
Coming down from the stairs, I saw Yang Peng sitting in front of the lamp handling official duties, looking attentive. Ye Guanyin thought of her elder brother who had been with her while she was sleeping, and a tender feeling surged into her heart. She walked over,
Sitting on the ground next to Yang Peng, looking at Yang Peng's side face in a daze, his eyes showed a very happy and happy look. Yang Peng smelled the body fragrance of Ye Qi Guanyin, and then realized that Ye Qi Guanyin was coming, and turned around to look
She glanced at it and said with a smile: "Why are you up now? I thought you were going to sleep until tomorrow!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
