Jiang Hua felt like his whole body was falling apart.【】
After coming out of the mountain, he didn't even bother to take a bite of hot food, take a shower and change clothes, and rushed to Chang'an.
Along the way, he only slept two hours a day, and the sergeants accompanying him couldn't bear it any longer. He was still the same, except that his eyes were deeply sunken, with green light flashing, and he looked like a ghost.
When we arrived at Chang'an City, the midsummer sun was shining outside the city, and everyone looked lazy.
This is a peaceful scene.
After he entered the city, he continued to gallop with his horse.
"This guy looks like a wild dog."
The curtain of a carriage nearby opened, and a noble girl said disdainfully to Jiang Hua.
In the car, the maid said: "Little lady, it's so hot!"
The lady retracted her head and lowered the car curtain, blocking the heat wave. There was a basin of ice cubes placed in the car, giving off a faint coolness.
"Aye said, we will leave for Yanshan to escape the summer heat tomorrow. I like Jianyun Temple on Yanshan Mountain the most. The food there is really delicious, and there are also seafood. The seafood made in other places has a strong smell, but they make it.
Delicious…”
"But the price is not cheap! They say that the seafood is frozen all the way with ice cubes, so one meal can help ordinary people live for a year."
"Can the common people compare with my family?"
"cannot!"
…
The emperor is furious.
"The mission has been gone for a long time, why hasn't it arrived yet?"
Yang Yuan and Jiang Hua had calculated the departure and return times with the envoys in advance, but now there was no sign of them.
"His Majesty."
Zhao Sanfu came, but "no trace of the mission was found."
"waste!"
The emperor recently learned to make alchemy and took a few pills, which made him a little angry.
"His Majesty!"
Han Shitou came in and said, "Jiang Hua is back."
The emperor sneered, "Does this mean knowledge has returned?"
Since the beginning of spring, the emperor has been interfering with the mission every once in a while.
The guards of Chang'an have been practicing for a long time, and the food and grass are ready.
Over in southern Xinjiang, they are also waiting for orders from Chang'an.
But the generals analyzed very clearly that without the participation of Beiliao, the Chang'an army would not be able to defeat Northern Xinjiang.
But the last time the envoy from Chang'an went to Ningxing, Ningxing was quite arrogant and the envoy could not agree to the conditions given, so he had to return.
After Li Mi learned about the situation, he thought about it several times and finally decided to accept some and reject some. He sent an envoy again, headed by Yang Yuan and Jiang Hua to envoy Ning Xing.
He had a sense of crisis, always feeling that Northern Xinjiang was like a fierce tiger, staring at him eagerly.
Destroy Northern Xinjiang!
This thought was so strong that he often woke up at night.
According to his plan, the envoy brought news that Bei Liao was willing to cooperate, and he set off with a large army and headed north.
But wait and wait, the delegation never looked back.
Now, Jiang Hua is here.
But it’s not too late to send troops now!
The emperor snorted coldly, "Let him come."
Jianghua came in like a wild man.
"His Majesty!"
Jiang Hua burst into tears, "Your Majesty!"
"Say!" the emperor sneered.
"When the slaves and others arrived in Ningxing, the people of Bei Liao were fierce and cunning, and the slaves and others were thinking very hard... The other party proposed that Chang'an should be announced to the world. The Northern Xinjiang army was rebellious... Yang Yuan agreed."
"Well!" The emperor didn't care about this.
Han Shitou knew that if the Northern Xinjiang Army in the Huang Chunhui era was still useful in the eyes of the emperor, then the Northern Xinjiang Army in the Yang Xuan era was rebellious in the emperor's eyes.
Damn it!
It is not an exaggeration to kill all the traitors!
"On the way back, Yang Yuan committed suicide at the ferry." Jiang Hua said: "He said... he could be worthy of your majesty, but not worthy of the Tang Dynasty."
The emperor was silent, but a coldness flashed in his eyes.
Han Shitou, who knew his temperament well, concluded that Yang Yuan's family would not be able to survive.
"Why don't you come back for so long?" the emperor asked.
"Your Majesty!" Jiang Hua choked and said: "On the way back, the slaves and others did not know that the Northern Xinjiang Army was intercepting them in front. The slaves and others were discovered, so they fled into the mountains. They were surrounded and killed in the mountains. The slaves and several others escaped by chance and were buried deep in the mountains.
There are so many difficulties... I wish I could die, but thinking of His Majesty's instructions, I muster up the courage to move on..."
"Northern Xinjiang Army intercepted?"
The emperor squinted his eyes.
"My slave asked about it on the way. My slave asserted that the news was leaked. Yang Xuan became uneasy and ordered the Northern Xinjiang Army to intercept him."
The emperor looked at Zhao Sanfu, who said: "The Northern Xinjiang Army conducted a drill last year."
"The news has been leaked." The emperor pondered for a long time, "summoning the ministers."
Later, the king and his ministers gathered together.
"...That's what happened. Northern Liao promised to send troops to attack Northern Xinjiang. Therefore, I decided to attack with Chang'an guards as the vanguard. I immediately sent an order to Southern Xinjiang and ordered Shi Zhongtang to come with all his troops."
The emperor did not give the ministers a chance to argue, so he directly stated his decision.
Zhou Zun originally thought that he would not be notified of this court meeting, but who would have thought that the emperor would ask him to come.
When the emperor said this, he glanced at him, and then said categorically: "I will use the Tiger Tiger of the Tang Dynasty to tell the world that traitors will die without a burial place. I will use the heads of traitors to warn those who are ambitious.
You arrogant fool. To deal with the traitors, I must use my heavy weapons!"
Liang Jing glanced at Zhou Zun and thought, if Northern Xinjiang is defeated, the Zhou family will be next!
Killing the Zhou family would also be a heavy blow to those aristocratic families.
It played a huge role in establishing the emperor's prestige.
The emperor is an expert at playing these games.
Zhou Zun naturally knew this, and he even knew that the emperor's decision to ask him to come today was a deterrent.
He hopes that the Zhou family will rebel!
While suppressing, the emperor would have people tell the world about the matter.
——The family members are ambitious!
The emperor needs everyone in the world to know this information.
Then he fought with Yang Songcheng and the others.
His life was a life of fighting. Zhou Zun felt that the emperor would probably not stop until he died.
"His Majesty!"
A chamberlain came in.
"Jingtai Zhao Yushi asks for an audience."
The mirror used to be in charge of the chamberlain, but now it is Zhao Sanfu with the bird. The emperor gave him the title of supervisory censor, which made it difficult for people to find fault.
If Zhao Sanfu appeared during the court meeting, it was probably because of something big.
After entering, Zhao Sanfu saluted and said: "The news from Northern Xinjiang is that the Northern Xinjiang army won the first battle and captured Linde City."
The emperor's allies were left alone to bear the blows of the Northern Xinjiang Army.
The emperor's face turned pale for a moment, "Send troops!"
Han Shitou lowered his head, hoping that his little master could survive this final difficulty.
As long as Beiliao is destroyed, the little master will be in an invincible position.
Your Majesty, please protect my little master!
Han Shitou prayed silently.
The gate of the imperial city was opened, and more than ten riders rushed out.
"drive!"
Looking at their hasty posture, someone asked: "Where are we going?"
An insider said: "Southern Xinjiang!"
"Why is this?"
"Your Majesty ordered the Southern Xinjiang Army to go north!"
"God, are we going to start?"
"Yes, it's about to begin."
"God bless the Tang Dynasty, God bless the Tang Dynasty!"
When Huang Chunhui learned the news, the envoy who set out for southern Xinjiang had already been gone for half an hour.
"At the court meeting, your Majesty ordered the guards of Chang'an to go north and send orders to southern Xinjiang, and ordered Shi Zhongtang to raise his army to join together."
Huang's face looked worried, "Aye, the civil war is about to begin."
Huang Chunhui sat under the eaves, silently looking at the old dog lying in front of him.
Just when Huang Lu thought her father was taking a nap and was about to leave, she heard Huang Chunhui say:
"God bless the Tang Dynasty!"
Huang Lu turned around and saw her father clasping his hands together and praying seriously.
…
When manpower is not enough to change reality, one will pray to gods.
"God above, please protect Daliao!"
The messenger is praying.
In the distance, a steady stream of Northern Xinjiang troops poured out from the horizon.
Puff puff puff!
The heavy footsteps made people's hearts tremble. The neat rows were like a forest of spears raised toward the sky, and the soldiers held their heads high and their chests high.
There are more enemy troops.
But so what!
The Northern Xinjiang Army has long been accustomed to defeating more with less.
As long as the banner of the Chinese Army is there, the Northern Xinjiang Army will not retreat.
The cavalry surged up from both wings and firmly protected both wings.
Puff puff puff!
Chen De seemed to see those pairs of determined eyes, slowly looking over with his footsteps.
"It's fake news!"
Chen De smiled bitterly and said: "The so-called Chang'an army must be Yang Xuan's method. He was able to persuade the Tang army in the North to dispatch, which means that the North has been infiltrated into a sieve by him.
He did so many things silently, and he has been holding back, and now he burst out and deceived Beijiang, deceived Eagle Guard, deceived us, deceived Ning Xing!"
"He has deceived everyone in the world!" He Liantong said: "Ning Xing's public opinion is like a wave, which shocks me. Now that I think about it, how much of it is his plan?"
"This is probably a spy." Chen De said.
"That is also the way to use troops. The way to use troops in the battle formation is a famous general. What is a commander? He can stand on the temple and strategize, and the means are at his fingertips. Ning Xing encouraged Chang'an to say that the Northern Xinjiang Army was rebellious, and there was no news yet
When it arrives, his counterattack will come."
He Liantong said: "I admit that I lost this round."
The old commander confessed his mistake, "Public opinion in Ningxing is raging, I only think about the political struggle."
His eyes were firm, "But since he is here, I should show him the courage of our Daliao soldiers."
…
"The way of using troops cannot be limited to one place, one city, or one area. Look further, look at the battle situation from the world, from the height of the temple, and you will find many bright spots."
The art of war class has begun... Jiang Heer is taking notes.
Even Pei Jian was listening.
Pei Jiu's art of war amazed the world, but as the heir, Pei Jian felt that Yang Xuan's art of war was even more outstanding.
The ubiquitous means make it difficult for you to guard against them.
If it is just a means, then it is just a technique.
But Yang Xuan’s lesson is about Tao!
"War is an extension of politics and a manifestation of the country's will. The Battle of Jiangzhou not only took place in Jiangzhou, but also in Ningxing and Chang'an. The Battle of Jiangzhou broke the balance between Northern Xinjiang and Chang'an and Ningxing.
A battle, victory or defeat will have a huge impact on the general trend of the world. Seeing this and trying to figure out Chang'an and Ningxing's attitudes towards this battle, then the rest will be simple."
Jiang Heer is purely a record-keeper, Jiang Cunzhong has his eyes closed, and Pei Jian has a smile in his eyes...
"Chang'an was worried about Northern Xinjiang's attack on Jiangzhou, so he tried his best to stop it. In this way, I ordered the Sangzhou and Dengzhou troops to attack, which took advantage of Chang'an's attitude towards Northern Xinjiang. And Ningxing was afraid that I would return to block the attack of Chang'an's army.
Turn around and continue heading north, so they want to take advantage of the situation..."
Yang Xuan said: "I ordered Bao Dong and others to sneak into Ningxing, stir up public opinion, and poured a bucket of oil on the firewood that Ningxing's monarchs and ministers wanted to take advantage of. Who can resist the temptation to destroy Northern Xinjiang and eliminate future troubles forever? So I
I just said that the Jiangzhou Army will definitely come!"
Everyone was fascinated by what he heard.
Pei Jian was the first to fully understand Yang Xuan's method, "This is a dead end. Unless He Liantong and Ning Xing fall out, he must attack."
"How big the temptation is, how crazy they will be when they put pressure on Heliantong!" Jiang Cunzhong felt that he had gained a lot.
Jiang Heer tilted his head, "This is the human heart."
"The art of war is never profound, and the human heart is as deep as a bottomless abyss." Yang Xuan pointed to the opposite side, "Stop!"
"Stop!"
Amidst the loud shouts, the footsteps stopped.
Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Speaking of which, He Liantong and I are old enemies. This is probably the last battle between me and him. To be honest, I admire this person quite a lot. Master, please accompany me for a while.
suffered."
"That's easy to say." The old handsome guy shook his head.
Yang Xuan rode out and waved to the opposite side, "King Lian Jiang, let's talk?"
This is a confrontation between two armies. More than 200,000 troops are preparing to fight to water some nutrients for this land, and you actually said that you want to talk...
The serious atmosphere on the other side suddenly disappeared.
Chen De sighed, "This person seems to be doing whatever he wants, but in fact he has deep intentions."
Heliantong said: "This is probably my last battle, so we might as well talk about it."
He went forward with two good men.
The two sides slowly approached, and when they were five steps away, they reined in their horses.
"Old." Yang Xuan pointed to the bags under He Liantong's eyes, "King Lian Jiang has been fishing at home for many years, so he must have discovered something."
"I was fishing at home, watching the wind blowing across the water, watching the ripples rise and slowly dissipate. Those winds and ripples have become the past and are no longer real. I can see that time continues to pass, changing the present moment.
It has become a thing of the past. At that moment, I knew that everything in this world was empty."
"Congratulations to King Lian Jiang for your great enlightenment." Yang Xuan said with a smile, "Sure enough, fishing is quite beneficial. I will give it a try later."
"Young people can't learn." He Liantong said: "The more you know about this world, the fewer people in this world will understand you. That kind of loneliness is depressing."
Yang Xuan said: "You have no chance of winning in this battle. Come to Northern Xinjiang! I allow you to attack one side!"
This is the treatment of a general.
"You are destroying my fighting spirit." He Liantong pointed at him and said with a smile: "If others don't notice this method, they will be angry and then uneasy. But I have been fishing for many years and have seen the most cunning fish..."
"As you know, Bei Liao's national destiny has come to an end." Yang Xuan said.
He Liantong said: "If I win this battle, then Northern Xinjiang will become a battlefield, needless to say. If I lose, and you capture Ningxing, your power will expand to the point where Chang'an monarchs and ministers will not be able to eat or sleep.
So, Lord Qin, are you ready to rebel?"
He looked at Yang Xuan and said word by word, "You have sworn to live up to the Tang Dynasty in this life." He Liantong pointed to the sky, "The sky has eyes, if you violate your oath, you will be punished by God!"
What the two said was to undermine the other's momentum and sow holes in the other's mind.
"You're not bad!" Yang Xuan nodded, truly admiring this handsome man.
"You're not bad either!"
The two held hands.
"Then..." He Liantong looked at Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan said: "I will fight with all my strength in this battle, and it can be regarded as a farewell for you."
Heliantong smiled, "I'll wait and see."
The two of them turned around and went back.
Returning to the formation, Chen De asked, "How?"
Heliantong looked serious, "I have been fishing all my life, but I have never encountered such a fierce and cunning fish."
Yang Xuan returned to the Chinese army.
Raise your hands.
The wind blew from the east, blowing the flag and swaying.
