Ye Qi Guanyin asked: "Brother, have you made up your mind?" Yang Peng nodded. Ye Qi Guanyin immediately said: "Since eldest brother has made up his mind, without further delay, we should immediately order the people and the army to retreat. This is the time.
The timing is right, if we wait for the main force of the Khitan army to arrive, it will be too late to retreat!"
Yang Peng waved his hand and said: "Guanyin, you misunderstood..."
Ye Qi Guanyin was stunned and asked in shock: "Eldest brother decided to defend Yanjing?" Yang Peng nodded, turned to look at the brightly lit night market in the city, and said: "If we retreat, the army should be able to retreat safely into Hebei. However,
I'm afraid most of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city will die violently!..." Ye Qi Guanyin frowned and said: "Brother, I don't agree with your idea! Those who achieve great things don't stick to trivial matters. If you do it for these hundreds of thousands,
If the people are put in danger, it will not only be hundreds of thousands of people who will suffer in the future, it will be millions or tens of millions of people!"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "I haven't finished speaking yet! Although your brother and I are a bit mother-in-law sometimes, I still know the importance and the overall situation! The main reason why I want to stick to Yanjing is because I think we might
It can be defended. If Yanjing can be defended, it will undoubtedly be the most beneficial to our army, and it can also minimize the losses this time!"
Ye Qi Guanyin frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "I still think this is too risky and not worth it!"
Yang Peng said: "Don't worry, if it comes to a critical moment, I promise you, I will not sit still and wait for death, but will definitely lead the army to break out!" Then he joked: "I still have so many lovely wives and concubines like you, I can't bear to die.
Here!" Ye Qi Guanyin rolled her eyes at Yang Peng.
The two of them came down from the attic and walked by the lake. When Yang Peng saw the sparkling lake, he couldn't help but think of the navy. He stopped and frowned: "I wonder how the situation is over there in the navy?"
Ye Qi Guanyin frowned and said: "This matter is also very worrying! If the navy is defeated in the end, our situation will be even more difficult!" Yang Peng frowned and said: "More than that! If the navy is defeated, we want to
It will be almost impossible to turn defeat into victory, and the hope of rising again in the future will be very slim!"
Ye Qi Guanyin was stunned. She did not expect that her elder brother would take the victory or defeat of the navy army so seriously. After thinking about it carefully, she figured out the key. If the navy army were defeated, it would not seem to have much impact on the surface.
But in fact, the entire Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and Hebei and Shandong areas lost the barrier on the right. The Khitan army and the Japanese army could march straight in and sweep across Hebei and Shandong. In this way, Yang Peng's previous plan, regardless of whether it was revised or not, would be destroyed.
It is impossible to achieve the strategic goals set before. The best result is to hold the two lines from Hejian Prefecture to the west and south, while all other areas will fall into the hands of the enemy. (Hejian Prefecture is now Hejian Prefecture.
Hejian County, Hebei Province)
These are only the superficial effects at the moment. In addition, once the navy is defeated, the Japanese navy will completely control the ocean. In that case, Yanyun's main income, maritime trade, will be cut off. In this way, Yanyun will
The income of Yanyun will be cut by more than half, which will inevitably greatly affect Yanyun's internal development in all aspects, the recovery of strength, and future counterattacks. Yanyun's loss of maritime trade is like losing the source of blood, and the entire body
It is bound to become thin and weak quickly. Given time, although Yanyun will not be destroyed, it will no longer be able to compete with the Khitans and others!
In addition, if the Yanyun army is really defeated in this battle and loses the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, Shandong, and most of Hebei, Yang Peng's prestige and Yanyun's reputation will be fatally affected.
, then internal enemies will take the opportunity to attack, and the people will be panicked. If foreign enemies take this opportunity to attack, Yan Yun will only be able to parry but not fight back, and the situation will become very dangerous.
Therefore, although the naval force accounts for a small proportion of Yanyun's army, it is really related to Yanyun's life and death at this time...
Ye Qianhucheng led the army to Shunzhou, stayed for one night, and then left Shunzhou and continued to march south. A few days later, they arrived at the gate of Yanjing City. At this time, one hundred thousand war cavalry had arrived in Yanjing. The army converged and the troops were pressed.
Yanjing, the city of Yanjing is in danger. The people in the city, who had already restored their smiles, now become frightened and uneasy. The entire city of Yanjing is operating at full speed like a huge machine.
Ye Qianhucheng met with the generals in the tent and looked at the two cavalry generals, Yinliduo and Kuika: "Where are the other cavalry?" Yinliduo was originally a cavalry general of the Khitan army, and Kuika was originally under the Khitan army.
Yeqi Guanyin, after Yeqi Guanyin left the Liao Kingdom, he defected to Brother Yeqixiu. After Brother Yeqixiu was defeated, he defected to Yeqihu City. Not long ago, during the war against Mongolia, Kuika made a
Due to his great achievements, he was promoted to general by Ye Qian Hucheng.
Yinliduo bowed and said, "Report to the king, I'm afraid the other cavalry won't be able to come!..."
Ye Qian Hucheng was taken aback and asked angrily: "What do you mean by this?"
Yin Liduo said: "Just before the king led his army to arrive, General Xiao Salihe sent an urgent report from the south. His 100,000-strong army was defeated by Yanyun's first army at the foot of Hejian Mansion..."
Yeqi Hucheng and others were shocked. Yeqi Hucheng said in disbelief: "This is impossible! Yanyun can't keep food and grass, how can it be possible to mobilize the army?" Xiao Yinliduo shook his head and said: "This is the last general.
I don’t know. But the Yanyun First Army was definitely dispatched, and General Xiao Salihe’s 100,000 cavalry were indeed defeated by them! General Xiao Salihe would not fabricate his own defeat.
Ah!" Yeqi Hucheng was shocked. Xiao Yinliduo continued: "After General Xiao Salihe was defeated, he retreated to Gaoyang Prefecture in the north of Hejian Prefecture. Unexpectedly, one day later, there were twenty
Wan Yanyun's army appeared and attacked them, but it was Yanyun's sixth, seventh and first legions who came together!"
Yeqi Hucheng just heard the news that Yanyun's first legion appeared in Hejian Mansion. Although he was shocked, he still kept his expression calm and calm. At this time, he heard that Yanyun's three legions of 200,000 troops launched a counterattack.
Finally, he couldn't help but his face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "That's nonsense, it's completely impossible! If Yan Yun urgently collects food from the people, it is possible to raise enough food to support an army, but how can three armies be in such a short time?
possible?"
Xiao Yinliduo was also very confused and said: "The general can't understand this. But the general thinks that General Xiao Sa will not lie about the military situation on such a big matter! Besides, Xiao Sa
General Lihe is a veteran of many battles in the Liao Kingdom, and it is impossible for him to misunderstand the enemy's strength because of panic!"
Ye Qian Hucheng stood up and paced back and forth in the tent, his mind full of doubts and worries. So many unexpected things had happened at this moment, and there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be more surprises.
Things happened one after another. He stopped and turned to ask Xiao Yinliduo: "You said 200,000 Yanyun troops attacked Gaoyang Prefecture, what was the result?"
Xiao Yinliduo said: "General Xiao Salihe could not resist and retreated again. This time, while General Salihe was retreating, he sent people to summon the war cavalry from the southern states of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.
Reinforcement. General Sa Lihe has now gathered 150,000 to 60,000 war cavalry, relying on the Yishui River to confront Yanyun's army. The current situation of the battle is unknown."
Yeqi Hucheng thought about it and frowned: "Yang Peng gathered 200,000 troops to counterattack the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. This is really unexpected! Where did they get the food and grass from?" He looked towards
Xiao Yinliduo asked: "Is there any news about the Japanese?" Yinliduo said: "While receiving the report from General Sa Lihe, we also received the news from Xizuo near Haizhou. One hundred thousand Japanese
The elite army is attacking Haizhou fiercely, and the battle is extremely fierce. It is said that more than a hundred Japanese warriors alone were killed in the battle!"
Ye Qian Hucheng asked: "In other words, the Japanese were still imprisoned in Haizhou by Yan Yun's army?" Yuliduo nodded and said: "That's it!"
Ye Qian Hucheng thought for a moment and said to Xiao Youliduo: "Send a message to the Japanese and ask them to immediately mobilize the Goryeo army to cross the sea and attack Hebei! Tell them that as long as they can capture Hebei, I can promise to give up the entire Hebei.
them!"
When the generals heard this, they were all shocked. Xiao Yinliduo couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, do you want to give up the entire Hebei to the Japanese?"
Yeqi Hucheng glanced at the generals and said with a smile: "Hebei belongs to Yanyun, and it was given to the Japanese. Are you still heartbroken?" The generals looked at each other, and Kuika said: "It's not that I'm heartbroken, it's just that I feel sad.
Such a big piece of fat should belong to our country of Daliao!" All the generals nodded in agreement.
Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and said: "I have a bad premonition in my heart, but I can't tell what it is exactly!" He glanced at the generals and said in a deep voice: "Our opponent is King Yan, maybe he has something
What kind of terrible backhand is preparing to deal with us!" All the generals had suffered from Yang Peng and Yan Yun. After hearing these words, they couldn't help but feel a shiver in their hearts. Ye Qian Hucheng said: "Give the Japanese some benefits, let them
They go to fight for us. If they win, it will be much easier to deal with the Japanese than Yanyun in the future. But if they lose, they will just use the Japanese as a shield!" The generals felt that the concerns of Yeqi Hucheng were reasonable, and they all
He bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Ye Qian Hucheng said to Xiao Yinliduo: "Go and send the message immediately." Yinliduo responded.
The Japanese envoy was overjoyed after hearing Xiao Yinliduo's words. Then he asked suspiciously: "I wonder why Yeqi Hucheng is so generous and willing to hand over Hebei to us?" Yinliduo sighed and said, "That's not true.
The main reason for concealing the truth is that our army has been unable to attack Yanjing for a long time, and our army really has no energy to take care of Hebei, and we are worried that Yanyun officials in Hebei will organize soldiers and civilians to come to support, so I hope that your country will dispatch a large army across the sea to attack Hebei as soon as possible!"
The Japanese envoy was overjoyed after hearing what Nianli Duo said. He couldn't help but raise his chin and said sarcastically: "I didn't expect that the Khitan Army, which is so powerful in the world, would sometimes be unable to cope with it!"
Xiao Yinliduo heard the sarcasm in the other party's words, and couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart. He thought to himself: "Our country of Daliao was originally going to use troops against you Japanese people. Fortunately, there was a great earthquake, and our country of Daliao was
The country has changed its strategic goals, otherwise you will definitely be killed and driven out of Korea! But now you have become arrogant, and you really don’t know how to live or die!' At this thought, he suppressed his anger and said coldly: "Don't
We made a mistake! We, the Liao Kingdom, are just for safety reasons, not that we are wrong! If you Japanese people are not willing, then let this matter go! You Japanese people in Hebei don't have to think about it!" Then he stood up and looked like he was about to leave.
.
When the Japanese envoy saw this, he couldn't help but panic. He quickly stood up and said, "General, you must be angry. I have no other intentions! General, please sit down. Let's have a good talk. Let's have a good talk!"
Seeing that the other party had relented, Yinliduo sat back, glanced at him, and said: "Our meaning is very clear. I hope you will send troops to Hebei to share our pressure. If you can send troops and finally successfully capture
All lands in Hebei, then our Yeqianhu City promises to cede Hebei to you Japanese people. On the contrary, if you cannot send troops, or even if you send troops, you have not achieved any results, I'm sorry, our Daliao Army will still attack Hebei!"
The Japanese envoy secretly said: "You Yeqihu City are really good at planning!" Then he thought for a moment, looked at Xiao Youliduo, and said: "General, our army sent troops to Hebei, of course it is for ourselves, but after all, we also share the burden
Without the pressure from your army, it would be unreasonable if we don’t get any benefits after the war! What I mean is that your army should leave Hebei alone. Our Japanese Army will be responsible for Hebei. It doesn’t matter whether we can capture it or not.
That’s fine, that’s all our own business!”
Xiao Yinliduo thought for a while, nodded and said: "Since your envoy said so sincerely, then we will take another step back and ignore the Hebei area! But you must send troops as soon as possible!"
The Japanese envoy nodded quickly and said: "General, please rest assured about this! To be honest, we have actually assembled 200,000 troops in Goryeo and are preparing to cross the sea to attack Shandong. Now that we have reached this agreement with you, we can definitely
Divide this 200,000-strong army into two groups, attack Hebei along the way, and attack Shandong along the way!"
Xiao Yinliduo was secretly shocked: 'The Japanese have actually assembled a large number of follow-up troops, and they have a huge appetite!' Putting these thoughts behind for the time being, he nodded and said: "Very good!" He stood up and said:
"Then, this is our agreement!" The Japanese envoy quickly stood up and said: "General, although I trust Yeqi Hucheng and the general, I must report to the general. I'm afraid it won't be good without a formal agreement..."
Xiao Yinliduo smiled, took out a written contract from his arms, handed it to the Japanese envoy, and said: "We have prepared the contract."
The Japanese envoy quickly took over the contract and looked at it. It turned out that they were two contracts with the same content, and the seal of Yeqi Hucheng had been stamped on them. The Japanese envoy looked at the contents carefully and found that they were basically consistent with what the two parties had just negotiated.
He couldn't help but smile and nodded, looked up at Xiao Yinliduo and said, "Can I take away both contracts?" Xiao Yinliduo nodded and said, "I wanted you to take them away in the first place." The Japanese envoy
He folded the two contracts immediately, returned to the back of the desk, and solemnly put the two contracts into a small wooden box.
Yinliduo remembered something and asked: "I heard you say before that after your navy defeated the Changdao water village, it was chasing the remnants of the Yanyun navy. What happened?"
The Japanese envoy smiled and said: "There is no news yet, but there is no suspense about this war anymore. The Yanyun navy is constantly fleeing, and it will only be a matter of time before the whole army is annihilated!" Yinli Duo nodded.
…
The sight turned to Bianliang. The originally noisy and bustling restaurants and teahouses were now a bit depressed and tense. The tea guests were all whispering about the war currently taking place in the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, and only a fat businessman could be seen.
The drinker was worried and annoyed and said: "What a thief, God, suddenly brought such a big disaster, and the Khitan people came in! It's really God's mercy on kindness!" Several friends at the same table nodded one after another,
They all looked worried.
At this moment, a handsome young man in a Confucian shirt at the next table laughed mockingly and deliberately raised his voice loudly: "The sage has long spoken about the principle of induction between heaven and man. If someone in the world does something that goes against the laws of heaven and human ethics,
, God will definitely punish you. The bigger the bad thing you do, the heavier the punishment will be. Such a huge earthquake, millions of creatures were affected, it is really a huge natural disaster that has never been seen in ancient times! What does this mean? This means that there are people in the world who do this.
It was a very evil thing that caused great anger and resentment, so God would send such a huge natural disaster!" Several literati at the same table agreed one after another.
The fat businessman was furious, stood up suddenly, and glared: "You are clearly deceiving the public with your lies!" The handsome scholar said: "I am just telling a very simple fact. The world is ignorant and always unwilling to face the facts!"
The fat businessman snorted and asked: "You said this earthquake was caused by someone doing something that went against the laws of nature and human ethics. Who is this person?"
The handsome scholar snorted and said, "Everyone knows this, so why bother clarifying it below!"
The fat businessman pointed at the handsome scholar and asked: "Are you talking about the King of Yan?" The handsome scholar snorted and remained silent. The fat businessman's face sank and he said angrily: "Now that the aliens are invading, the King of Yan is leading the loyal soldiers and civilians to fight with
Foreign enemies are fighting bloody battles on the battlefield! But you scholars are behind the scenes and talking nonsense to confuse the public. I suspect that you are clearly colluding with the Khitans and want to help the Khitans defeat the King of Yan and annex our land of China! You talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact you are not.
What a bastard!"
As soon as these words came out, the crowd upstairs was moved. The faces of the scholars changed drastically, and the other drinkers couldn't help showing anger. Suddenly someone stood up and pointed a wine glass towards the man who had just spoken.
The handsome scholar was thrown hard. The handsome scholar was panicking and failed to dodge. He was hit in the middle of the forehead by the wine glass. With a snap, the wine glass shattered. The scholar's forehead was also smashed and blood flowed. He couldn't help but cover his forehead and scream.
There was a sound. The strong man who threw the wine glass loudly cursed: "You damn traitors, beat them to death!" With this shout, the drinkers in the entire restaurant became excited and stood up one after another to curse. Seeing the excitement of the crowd, the scene became tense.
It was getting out of hand. When several scholars saw this scene, their faces turned pale and they were so horrified that they were at a loss what to do.
After hearing the news, the boss rushed up. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of control, he hurriedly ran to the crowd, made a four-way bow, and begged: "Everyone, calm down! Everyone, calm down! We are all neighbors, don't hurt the harmony!"
A brawny man with a bare chest slapped the table and yelled: "Who the hell are neighbors with these gray grandsons!" This scolding caused all the drinkers to yell and curse again, and some of them looked like they were about to take action.
.
Seeing that the situation was uncontrollable, the boss quickly winked at the scholars, meaning to tell them to leave quickly. When the few scholars saw the boss's look, they realized that they would not be able to escape the public wrath.
Okay, I hurriedly ran away amidst the shouts and curses of everyone.
The strong man cursed: "These gray grandsons are really a bunch of beasts! Good people have become beasts when they study! If my child goes to study in the future, I will strangle him to death first!" The drinkers laughed.
Laughed. After scolding for a while, they all drank and chatted, and calm was restored upstairs.
Several scholars ran out of the tavern in embarrassment. The handsome scholar at the head cursed angrily: "This group of hateful fools don't understand anything. They won't be able to figure out what's going on when they die!" Several scholars next to them started talking.
They all echoed, looking very angry. This handsome scholar is a very famous talent in the entire Bianliang and even Henan area. His name is Bai Mu. He has lived in Bianliang for a long time. When the Khitan people went south, they fled to the south of the Yangtze River. Half a year ago, they held a
The family returned to Bianliang. After Yanyun officials confirmed their identities, they returned all the property that originally belonged to them. However, this family did not seem to be grateful at all. Instead, they were killed because of Yanyun's various policies that were not conducive to the gentry.
He was very hostile to Yang Peng and the military officials under his command.
Later that day, Bai Mu came to the merchant and met Shang Shiheng. Shang Shiheng saw Bai Mu's forehead was red, swollen and bloody. He was stunned and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with Mr. Bai's forehead?" Bai Mu sighed.
In a tone of anger, he said: "Why don't you let those stupid people beat you!" Shang Shiheng was greatly surprised, and Bai Mu told what happened in the tavern that day. Shang Shiheng frowned and said angrily: "It's really
What a turn of events! How dare these despicable commoners be so rude to scholars! If under the rule of the Holy Emperor, all of them would be severely punished!" Bai Mu said with deep approval: "Who says it's not the case!" Then he sighed.
He said in a helpless tone: "It's a pity that we are now under the rule of the tyrant King Yan. We really don't know when we will be able to survive!"
Shang Shiheng's eyes suddenly showed an unpredictable and profound look, and he lowered his voice and said: "Mr. Bai, maybe the day when you will succeed is not far away!"
Bai Mu had long participated in Shang Shiheng's rebellion. When he heard this, he thought that Shang Shiheng was going to take advantage of this opportunity to start a rebellion. He couldn't help but get excited and said: "The number one officer who was originally stationed in Tianjing New City
I heard that the legion has rushed to Yanjing. Now not only Tianjing New City, but also the entire Hebei Province does not have a regular army, only the Junfu army. Those Junfu troops are not worth mentioning. Now is a great time to raise the flag of righteousness!
"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
