Shang Shiheng nodded and said, "That's true. But the situation may be better than Mr. Bai expected!" Bai Mu was greatly surprised and asked, "What Mr. Shang said is so profound!"
Shang Shiheng smiled, turned and walked to the desk, picked up a letter, handed it to Bai Mu, and said: "This is a secret letter that Brother Yu just received. Mr. Bai, please read it." Bai Mu was very curious.
, received the letter, looked at the envelope, and saw only five big Chinese characters "Shang Gongzi Junjian" written on the envelope. Bai Mu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but admired: "Good words, good words! Iron painted with silver hooks, flying dragons and phoenixes."
, He really has the character of Yan Qingchen!" The Yan Qingchen in Bai Mu's mouth is Yan Zhenqing.
Shang Shiheng smiled and said: "This letter was written by the most noble person in the world, so it is naturally extraordinary!"
Bai Mu snorted, becoming even more curious. He couldn't wait to take out the letter paper, unfolded it and looked at it. His expression changed, and he quickly raised his head and said in disbelief: "This, this, this is an autographed letter from the current Holy Emperor?!" Shang
Shi Heng smiled and nodded, with a hint of embarrassment in his smile, and said: "This is exactly the handwriting of the current Holy Emperor!" Bai Mu was so excited that he continued reading quickly. After reading the letter, he said with great envy:
"Young Master Shang is famous all over the world, and the Holy Emperor all knows his name and entrusts him with important tasks!" Then he said excitedly: "The imperial court is finally planning to make the Northern Expedition. It's great!" Then he held the letter in both hands and handed it back to Shang Shiheng.
Shang Shiheng took back the letter, folded it, put it in an envelope, turned around and put the letter back on his desk.
Turning around, he said: "Master Wang is about to make an expedition to the north. This is a great opportunity for us to make great contributions! I have already sent people to send a message to Young Master Duan in Yanjing. I am just waiting for the news of Master Wang's Northern Expedition to come. We are in Tianjing New City
He and Yan Jing started to attack at the same time, stabbed Yan Yun twice inside, and this was an unparalleled achievement!"
Bai Mu is very envious, but he is self-aware and understands that it is impossible for him to lead such a large-scale operation with his own ability and reputation. He can only follow them and share some credit and glory. Bai Mu clasped his fists and bowed.
: "Young Master Shang has been appointed by the Holy Emperor to stay in Tianjing New City. His career in the future is boundless! Don't forget your brother!"
Shang Shiheng laughed heartily and said boldly and honestly: "Master Bai and I are our own people, and I will never treat my own people badly. I have sent someone to Lin'an to send a reply, and I have listed in my mind the list of people including Bai Gong.
In this letter, I request your Majesty to grant titles to these loyal and righteous people, including the Young Master, to show your Majesty’s deep love for your loyal ministers and righteous people. This letter should have crossed the river by now." Bai Mu
I am overjoyed and thank you immediately.
After sending Bai Mu away, Shang Shiheng returned to the backyard and had a secret discussion with his father, Shang Conglong. Then he put on his casual clothes and left the mansion. When he came to an inconspicuous courtyard in the city, he saw a man in black clothes and a hat.
The man in the black gauze cupped his fists and saluted, and said: "Sect Master, now that the Khitans and Japanese are invading in large numbers, the Yanyun Army is in a very unfavorable situation. Does the Sect Master know about this?"
I saw the gauze on the head of the man in black trembling slightly, and an old and powerful voice said: "This matter has been known to the world for a long time! Mr. Shang suddenly came to talk to me about this matter. He must have wanted to take action, right?"
Shang Shiheng said: "Exactly! Now is a great opportunity that is once in a lifetime!"
The man in black nodded, hummed, and asked: "What do you plan to do, Mr. Shang?" Shang Shiheng said: "We plan to raise troops to serve the king during the Northern Expedition. Many officials will respond by then and capture Tianjing.
There is absolutely no problem in the new city!" The man in black said: "Young Master Shang is very confident! In this case, what else do you want to discuss with me, Mr. Shang?" Shang Shiheng said: "There is one thing that only the group in black can do, so
Please come down and ask the black-clad group for help!..." The man in black said: "Our black-clad group never helps, let's talk about the price!"
Shang Shiheng smiled and said: "As long as this thing is done, I recommend you to be a general. This is better than being in the underworld and licking blood from the sword!" The man in black sneered: "The officialdom is much more dangerous than the Jianghu.
I don’t want to go into that muddy water! I just want gold and silver treasures!” “Okay, Sect Master, please make a price!” The man in black said, “Tell me what it is first.”
Shang Shiheng said: "Do what your black-clad regiment is good at. As soon as the sect master received my message, he immediately launched an assassination operation against all Yanyun military and political officials in Tianjing New City." The man in black sneered: "In this way
, Tianjing New City is bound to be in chaos, so it will be better for you to rebel!" Shang Shiheng smiled. The man in black said: "I will never do such a big thing without two thousand taels of gold!" Shang Shiheng hesitated.
After a while, he nodded and said: "Okay. According to the rules, I pay half of it first, and I will have a thousand taels of gold delivered later today!" The man in black laughed and said happily: "Young Master Shang is indeed a cheerful person.
, it is really a pleasure to do business with Mr. Shang!"
The sight turned to Taiyuan. Zhang Xiaochun, who was left behind in Taiyuan, was pacing back and forth in the study, frowning, looking like he was worried and hesitant. When the concubine came to the study, seeing Zhang Xiaochun looking embarrassed, she couldn't help but ask: "
Master, what is so difficult about you?"
Zhang Xiaochun stopped pacing, sighed, and said, "This matter is really embarrassing for me. I don't know what to do!"
"I wonder what it is?" Zhang Xiaochun frowned and said: "Now the Khitans and Japanese are attacking at the same time, the situation can be said to be critical!..." The concubine nodded, frowned and said: "The slave family has also heard about this, and
I heard that the war situation was very unfavorable. Almost all the sixteen states of Yanyun, except Yanjing, fell, and the navy was also defeated and lost Changdao!"
Zhang Xiaochun nodded, returned to the desk and sat down, saying: "Not long ago, the Khitan's secret envoy came to me..." The concubine was surprised, and then said excitedly: "They must be here to lobby the master!
"Zhang Xiaochun nodded and said: "The other party promised that as long as I lead Taiyuan and defect to the Liao Kingdom, he will make me the governor of the entire Shanxi!" The concubine was overjoyed and said anxiously: "In this case, what do you have to hesitate?
Yes! The Yanyun Army’s defeat has been determined, why don’t you take Taiyuan and defect to the Liao Kingdom!”
Zhang Xiaochun couldn't help but nodded. At this moment, an angry voice came from outside the door: "You naughty fox, you are clearly trying to frame the master!" The concubine's face changed slightly, Zhang Xiaochun looked up towards the door, and saw his wife at the door.
With the support of the maid, she walked in with an angry look on her face. She quickly stepped forward to support the madam and said with concern: "Madam is not in good health. It's better not to move around more!"
The lady glanced at the concubine who was standing sideways not far away, and said angrily: "If I had come a moment later, the master would have been killed by this shameless fox!" The concubine's face revealed the emotion.
He had an angry look on his face, but he did not dare to quarrel openly with his wife and remained silent.
Zhang Xiaochun said with a smile: "Madam, you are serious, she is also planning for me, Baoer, don't be angry!" Zhang Xiaochun's wife is named Wang Baoer, so Zhang Xiaochun calls her Baoer. Who is Zhang Xiaochun?
The young wife who remarried her a few years ago is not very old. Of course, compared with the concubine, her beauty is a bit less than that of the concubine.
Zhang Xiaochun said: "In the current situation, it would be a wise choice to defect to the Liao Kingdom."
Wang Baoer shook his head and frowned: "All the military and military forces are in the hands of the Governor. The Governor is loyal to King Yan. How can you dedicate Taiyuan to the Liao Kingdom? I'm afraid that once the master reveals his intentions, he will
He was captured by the governor's handsome soldiers!" Zhang Xiaochun said: "I have already thought about this. I can set up a Hongmen banquet and invite you to the urn. Madam, don't worry! Then Du Cheng has no defense against me, so he can definitely capture him!" The concubine came over.
Said: "Madam, you are really worried! In such a situation, if you don't defect to the Liao Kingdom, you will be a dead end!"
Wang Baoer glared at the concubine, who closed her mouth and felt angry. Wang Baoer said to Zhang Xiaochun: "Master, I am not against defecting to the Khitan people, but I must be cautious about this matter! Although King Yan and the others are at a disadvantage now,
But it has not completely collapsed. They are still fighting fiercely with the Khitan army. Under such circumstances, it is really unclear who will win! The bravery of King Yan is unparalleled in the world, and his officers and men are all strong soldiers and brigade who are sharp and good at fighting. If the Khitan and the Japanese are sure of victory, I'm afraid
Not necessarily!"
Zhang Xiaochun nodded thoughtfully and said, "Madam, you are right! Judging from the past performance of the Yanyun Army, it is indeed too early to say that Yanyun will definitely lose at this moment!" Wang Baoer said: "Master, if you do this at this time,
I made a decision rashly, but in the end the Yan Yun army won, and the master was in doom! Therefore, I think we should wait and see now, and never bet on it! We must wait until the situation becomes clear before we can make a decision!"
Zhang Xiaochun nodded in agreement and said: "Yes, yes! Madam is absolutely right! I can't bet on it at the moment, but I can keep in touch with the Khitan people!"
…
Yang Peng led the Zhanjin Kingdom and two thousand Xuanjia troops to leave Yanjing and arrived outside the Khitan camp. Then Yang Zaixing, a man from the Zhanjin Kingdom, rode to the enemy camp gate alone and cursed loudly: "Yeqihu City, you
This shrunken turtle, come out quickly and fight Grandpa for three hundred rounds!" Yeli Hucheng heard the scolding outside the camp, so he walked out of the tent, looked outside the camp gate, and saw Zhan who came to challenge him from a distance.
Jin Guo and thousands of Yanyun warriors frowned and cursed: "I won't fight them, but they came here to die on their own!" They immediately said to the soldiers around them: "Send the order immediately and go out to fight!"
The horns of the Khitan army sounded loudly, and tens of thousands of Khitan troops on foot and cavalry were waiting for the generals to rush out of the camp gate and formed a battle formation with their backs to the military camps.
A Mongolian general asked Yeqi Hucheng to fight: "Your Majesty, please let me go to fight!" Yeqi Hucheng saw that it was Temur, the Mongolian commander of ten thousand men. He felt that this man was brave enough that ten thousand men would not be worthy of it, so he nodded and said: "
Go ahead, if you can kill the enemy general, I will personally go to the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty to ask for credit for you!"
Temur was overjoyed when he heard this. This man once served as a Mongolian envoy to Tianjing New City. At that time, because he committed something in Tianjing New City, he was severely punished by Yanyun. Temur regarded him as
After being humiliated and humiliated in his life, he always wanted to find an opportunity to avenge his hatred. At this time, Yan Yunjun came to challenge. Temur thought this was a good opportunity for revenge! He thought that if he could kill several of the opponent's generals,
It can also alleviate the hatred of being humiliated in Tianjing New City that day!
Temur galloped out of the military formation with a big sword in his hand, stopped about ten steps in front of the Kingdom of Zhanjin, and shouted sternly: "The general who is coming will tell you his name! I will not kill the unknown general in my hands!"
Zhan Jinguo smiled coldly and said loudly: "Remember, the person who killed you is called Zhan Jinguo!"
Temur was furious. He raised his sword and urged his war horse to kill Zhan Jinguo. The force was like thunder and was extremely ferocious. Zhan Jinguo's eyes showed excitement, and he picked up the horse's spear and rode his horse to meet him. In a blink of an eye,
As the two sides clashed, their broadswords roared and slashed horizontally, and the poisonous dragon came out of its cave. The two weapons met with a loud clang! The soldiers on both sides couldn't help but get excited and started shouting.
The two knights staggered past each other, ran for more than ten steps, turned their horses' heads suddenly, and charged towards each other again. After repeating this for several rounds, the two generals became entangled on horseback and fought fiercely. Temur's tricks
It can't be said to be exquisite, but it can be opened and closed as powerful as a mountain collapse. Every time the sword in his hand strikes, it seems to split the mountain. His eyes are glaring, his beard is angry, and his roar is like a tiger or thunder. When ordinary people see him,
Looking like this, let alone being beaten, I was frightened to death. As a Mongol warrior, Temur was well-deserved. The iron horse in the hands of the Kingdom of Zhan Jin was as fast as lightning, unparalleled speed, and the horse seemed to be transformed.
There were more than a dozen of them, flying up and down like a violent storm and attacking Temur!
After more than a dozen moves, the two of them fought very closely. In more than twenty moves, Zhanjin Kingdom had the upper hand. After more than thirty moves, Temur was already in danger under Zhanjin Kingdom's wild and unparalleled onslaught.
The ring is born! The Kingdom of Zhanjin is like a mighty tiger, with great majesty, while Temur is like a wolf struggling desperately under the claws of the tiger! There is no sound from the Khitan army, and everyone is nervous and worried.
Looking at the battle in the field, the morale of the two thousand Xuanjia troops was greatly boosted, and their shouts were like thunder!
Seeing that Temur could no longer hold on, Yeqihu City immediately ordered Ergun, another Mongolian general, to attack. Seeing that Temur was gradually unable to hold on, Ergun was already worried. As soon as he heard the news of Yeqihu City,
He immediately obeyed the order and rushed out of the military formation on horseback, rushing towards the Kingdom of Zhanjin, trying to attack the Kingdom of Zhanjin together with Temur.
At this moment, a sharp sound of piercing the air suddenly came. Ergun had long heard that there were several fierce generals in the Yanyun army, including King Yang Peng of Yan, who had godly archery skills, so he rushed out of the army.
After the formation, they were careful to be on guard against the sudden attack of cold arrows by the Yan Yun army on the opposite side. At this moment, when they heard the sharp whistling sound of the arrows, their hearts froze, and they caught a glimpse of a black shadow flying towards them quickly. Without thinking about it, they immediately fell on their backs.
On the saddle, almost at the same time, an arrow flew past Ergun's face. The Khitan army officers and soldiers cheered in unison.
Ergun sat up and heard the sharp whistling sound of arrows again. This time the sound was different from before. It seemed to be the sound of two sharp whistling sounds superimposed. Ergun was shocked to see that
Two black shadows were flying towards them rapidly, one above the other. I was shocked and thought to myself: 'Are there two sharpshooters?!' Such thoughts flashed through my mind, and at the same time I dodged sideways and swung my sword.
The arrow flying from below was narrowly avoided by Ergun. At the same time, the big knife in his hand knocked away another arrow flying from above! I only felt numbness in one arm, and in my heart
He was horrified: 'This man is so powerful!' Before he could finish this thought, he saw a general in front of the Yanyun Army in the distance with his bow pointed at him over the full moon! Ergun's heart was shuddered, and he quickly restrained himself.
The war horse immediately discovered that there were four spiked arrows on the opponent's bowstring. Ergun's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help shouting a Mongolian word, which means 'Arrow God', with a tone full of fear.
There is a tradition among the Mongolians that anyone who can bend a bow and shoot a large eagle is an admirable warrior, so there is a saying among the Mongolians: the eagle-shooting warrior. The Mongolians have an old legend that every one thousand years there will be a warrior.
An unparalleled hero, he could hold three sharp arrows at the same time and kill three giant eagles in one fell swoop! This unparalleled hero was called the 'Arrow God' by the Mongols! Ergun saw Yang Peng holding four arrows at the same time.
The Wolf Fang Arrow was even more powerful than the legend, and he couldn't help but turn pale and exclaim. Many of the Mongolian soldiers behind him also exclaimed.
Yang Peng aimed at Ergun, released his right hand, and there was a loud crash. The cloud-piercing bow suddenly shook, and he saw four wolf-fang arrows turned into four black shadows, flying rapidly towards Ergun.
Because the arrow is so fast, it rubs against the air and makes an extremely sharp whistling sound, which can make your eardrums numb and frightening!
Ergun was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his sword and knocked away a wolf-fang arrow. The other three wolf-fang arrows hit Ergun's body at the same time. Ergun screamed and jumped from the horseback.
He fell down and there was no movement! In fact, although Yang Peng's blow was extremely powerful, with Ergun's ability, it should be possible to save his life. However, Ergun was already scared to death.
Faced with the flying arrow, he was completely at a loss and lost his normal level. As a result, he could neither resist nor dodge, so he was penetrated by the sharp arrow and died!
The faces of all the Mongolian soldiers were ashen, and their eyes were full of fear. The Khitan soldiers were also horrified, but they looked better than the Mongolian soldiers.
At this moment, a scream of ah suddenly came. The Khitan soldiers were shocked, came back to their senses, and looked around, only to see that Temur had fallen under the horse at some point and was motionless. Apparently,
The danger is gone! All the soldiers were shocked again! It turned out that just when everyone was shocked by Yang Peng's shocking arrow, Zhan Jin State launched a sudden attack, first severely injuring Temur's right arm, and then
Ma Shan turned back and went straight for Temur's throat. Temur was at the end of his crossbow. Seeing Ma Shan's cold light coming at him like a poisonous snake, he wanted to dodge and resist, but his body didn't obey him at all. With a pop, Temur
At the critical moment, he used his left arm to resist, but Ma Shan cut off his left arm at the wrist. Temur's eyes were so painful that stars appeared in his eyes. At this time, Zhan Jinguo pulled Ma Shan back and stabbed Temur's chest.
, knocking him off his horse.
In the blink of an eye, the two Mongol warriors of the Khitan army were killed! The Yanyun army was as powerful as a rainbow, but the Khitan army was frightened and their faces were ashen.
Yeqianhu City became angry and sent their troops to attack them. Yanyun's army did not engage them, but turned their horses and galloped away. The Khitan army pursued them for a while, but when they saw that they could not catch up, they had to withdraw their troops temporarily.
The general said angrily: "We haven't attacked the city for a few days, and the Yanyun people have become arrogant!" Chao Yeqianhu City asked for battle: "Your Majesty, I think we should continue to attack the city!" Everyone's eyes fell on it!
On the face of Yeqi Hucheng. Yeqi Hucheng frowned. Just now, King Yan Yang Peng came to challenge with only two thousand war cavalry, and killed two of his own generals in battle. It was a great insult. However,
If our side loses control and launches a large-scale attack on the city, it will probably disrupt its previous plan!
Han Changdao: "Your Majesty, our plan is to wait for the Japanese to sweep across Shandong and Hebei, causing a turmoil in the morale of Yanyun's army and civilians, and then seize Yanjing City in one fell swoop! That will reduce a lot of losses! If we attack now, it may not be possible.
We will capture Yanjing earlier than planned, and we will pay a lot of additional costs! Your Majesty, think twice!"
Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and nodded, glanced at Han Chang, and said: "You are right, we will not change the plan we made before!"
Yang Peng and others returned to the city. The soldiers and civilians in the city cheered loudly, and the previous depressive atmosphere disappeared for a while.
Yang Peng and others boarded the city gate tower and looked towards the Khitan military camp in the distance. They saw that there was no movement at the Khitan military camp. Yang Peng frowned and said: "The Khitan people are very calm! What are they waiting for?" It turns out that the Khitan military camp is silent.
The people did not attack for several days, which was really against common sense, so Yang Peng decided to poke them to see how they would react. The reaction of the Jin people made Yang Peng and others feel heavy. Yeqi Guanyin thought:
"Perhaps we are waiting for backup, or we are waiting for some change in the situation!" He glanced at Yang Peng and continued: "No matter what the situation is, it is not good for us!"
Yang Peng's thoughts moved from the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun to Hebei, to Shandong, and then to Lianghuai, and he murmured: "Is the Hucheng of Yeqi waiting for some action by the Japanese?"
Ye Qianhu City's heart was moved and he nodded: "It's very possible! If our navy is defeated, the Japanese can transport another 100,000 or even more Japanese troops from the sea. At that time, Hebei and Shandong will probably all
It’s going to be a raging war and chaos!”
When Yang Jiumei and others heard this, they were all shocked. Yang Jiumei couldn't help but said: "Prince Yan, do you want to cancel the plan you made before?"
Yang Peng frowned and paced back and forth, hesitating in his heart. The counterattack plan he made before was the key to turning defeat into victory, but the current situation is very bad. If he insists on implementing the previous plan, I am afraid that the entire Hebei, Shandong, and Huaihei River will be in danger.
! Even if the plan is implemented smoothly, if Hebei, Shandong, and even Huaihei fall, this counterattack plan will probably not achieve any good results and will be a waste of effort! However, if the plan is suspended now, this war will not be fought.
By what year and month, the sixteen states of Yanyun are bound to fall, and a stalemate between our own generals, the Khitan army, and the Japanese will form in Hebei, Shandong, and the Lianghuai area, which is definitely not a good thing for the entire Yanyun!
Ye Qi Guanyin said: "The key now is the situation of the navy."
Yang Jiumei frowned and said: "Judging from the current situation, the situation of the navy is not optimistic! We can't wait any longer!" Yang Peng and Ye Qi Guanyin looked at each other, and Yang Peng said: "There is something I have wanted to tell you for a long time.
Yes, it’s just an urgent military situation, so I didn’t have time to say anything!”
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
