When Xiao Lei heard what Yang Yanrong said, he sat down gloomily, held up the wine jar, and drank heavily.
Finally, he stared at Yang Yanrong for a long time and said: "Second brother, I am still a little worried about the safety of my third sister. So, I will rush to Liaodu first and wait for you to lead the army to attack. Well, count the time
,Golmud should have gone back."
Yang Yanrong wanted to persuade him again, but Xiao Lei came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Second brother, as the eldest brother, I have made friends with very few people in my life, and you are the only ones who understand my heart best. If
We are in a different place, and if you are hurt by someone else, Xiao Lei will risk his life to protect you. Well, don't act like a woman, there is no one in the world who can hurt me, Xiao Lei.
Not much! By the way, I heard from Golmud that there was a martial arts senior who taught him martial arts when he was a child. However, that senior did not accept him as his disciple. From what he described, the senior’s appearance,
I think it should be your master Long Xiao." After saying that, he jumped up and flew down from the top of the city. He laughed and quickly disappeared.
Yang Yanrong ran a few steps quickly, supported the parapet with both hands, looked at his elder brother who was walking further and further away, and murmured: "Brother, just wait, I will come and join you soon." What was the last thing Xiao Lei said to Xiao Lei.
Yang Yanrong also found that sentence strange. It was a coincidence. The person who could be attracted by the old man must be the right one. No wonder the eldest brother Xiao Lei was willing to sworn sworn relatives with this Mongolian man.
The rebel leader Xiao Chuo mentioned was named Yelu Zhan. He was one of the four great martial arts heroes, and was the leader of the Liao Kingdom’s Golden Sword who had always been hidden. He was a superb martial artist, and his transcendent status in the Liao Kingdom, as well as his relationship with the Liao Kingdom,
The close relationship between the royal family of the Liao Kingdom means that their family has always controlled an invincible elite cavalry with a number of one hundred thousand. It is said that all the soldiers who can be selected as the Golden Sword Guard are warriors in the Liao Kingdom, and any one of them is enough to serve as a guard.
The official position of the capital. Opposite to the Golden Sword Guards, there are naturally the Silver Sword Guards. However, the Silver Sword Guards are several grades behind the Golden Sword Guards in terms of the equipment and the quality of the soldiers. Despite this, the Silver Sword Guards
Sword Guards can definitely be regarded as the battlefield elites of this era.
Yang Yanrong chewed on the situation of the rebels that he and Xiao Chuo had just discussed in the tent. Although he was surprised, he couldn't help but look forward to the mysterious Golden Sword Guard. He didn't know that Jin was regarded as the patron saint of the Liao Kingdom by the Khitan people.
How powerful are the Sword Guards? Can they really compare to the special forces trained by the Yang family brothers over the past few months?
A few days later, Yanmen Pass suddenly became busy. The entire military camp, whether it was the Song camp or the Liao camp, was preparing closely. This was because Emperor Jianyuan of the Song Dynasty issued a secret order to prepare war horses, food, fodder, and military equipment, and would go there soon.
grassland.
Three days later, a mighty Song and Liao allied army of about 700,000 soldiers slowly emerged from Yanmen Pass and marched towards the Liao border with great fanfare. It was said to be one million. This army was commanded by Yang Yanrong, under his command.
The generals are like clouds, and the troops are well-prepared.
The coalition forces were unstoppable along the way, attacking the city with great momentum, conquering dozens of states and counties, and fought all the way to Youdu Prefecture before stopping at the foot of Nanjing City.
Hundreds of thousands of troops stayed under the city, surrounding the entire Nanjing in the center. From a distance, the dense and boundless army was like a bunch of ants. Only an unclear black spot could be seen in their respective square formations.
.The winter wind is blowing hard, the war horses are neighing, and the gleaming weapons are pointing at Nanjing City in the distance. As long as Yang Yanrong gives the order, they will charge over without hesitation.
Xiao En, who was left behind in Nanjing, and Chen Tingyan, the governor of Youzhou, who were standing on the city tower, looked at each other in shock. The generals on the side were even more furious. Such a large army, even with their lives, was enough to raze the entire city of Nanjing to the ground.
Moreover, the people who besieged the city this time were none other than Emperor Yang Yanrong of the Southern Dynasty and Xiao Chuo, the Empress Dowager Chengtian of the Liao Dynasty. In the entire Liao Kingdom, Xiao Chuo had a very high reputation both in the military and political circles and among the people. This time with this
When women are enemies, everyone feels that there is no way to attack them.
Xiao En, a veteran in his fifties, is from the same clan as Xiao Chuo, and they are relatives. However, now that all his relatives are controlled by Yelu Zhan, he has to do his best to defend the city. As long as Nanjing City is
If the sun is not broken, your loved ones will always be safe.
At this moment, the coalition forces under the city slowly separated, the clattering footsteps retreated in an orderly manner, and several figures slowly walked up, standing at a stone's throw from the city to fight.
"It's the Queen Mother!" Chen Tingyan's eyes suddenly widened, and even his breathing was stagnant. He pointed at the woman in white armor below the city and murmured: "Brother Xiao, it's our Queen Mother!"
In fact, Xiao En had long recognized that the person below was Xiao Chuo, the Queen Mother of Chengtian. He took a deep breath and shouted sternly: "Fire the arrow!"
"Zhi Zhi Zhi" Thousands of hard bows were filled with strings in an instant, pointing at Xiao Chuo and his party below the city. However, the generals did not obey the order of Xiao En who was staying in Nanjing to release arrows. They just pointed down, one
Everyone turned their heads and looked at the left-behind adult with an uncertain face.
Xiao En felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He did not want to be an enemy of Xiao Chuo, let alone shoot sharp arrows at the Khitan compatriots under the city, but for the sake of his relatives, he had to do this
Do.
Xiao En snorted, took off the bow from his back, took out a carved feather arrow from the arrow pot on his waist, put his hand on the string, and shot towards the bottom of the city with his eyes closed.
With a "swish" sound, the carved feather arrow landed at Xiao Chuo's feet. Yang Yanrong and his party looked around and secretly smacked their lips. The people of Liao State were good at riding and shooting, and they really deserved their reputation!
"Queen Mother, today Xiao En is not allowed to be your enemy. There are really unspeakable reasons for this. If unfortunately I hurt you, the Queen Mother, Xiao En will commit suicide on the city wall." Xiao En opened his eyes and looked at the people below the city.
Xiao Chuo said loudly.
Xiao Chuo smiled slightly, leaned over to pick up the carved feather arrow, and replied loudly: "General Xiao En, do you remember seven years ago? My sister betrayed me, and I ordered you to send troops to encircle and suppress me.
You killed him, and it was you who cut off her head with your own hands. In Shengjing, I personally put on you the wreath of flowers that only warriors deserve. At that time, you said that wherever Yanyan points her finger, it will be your sword.
The direction to go. Five years ago, Yeluyu plotted to usurp the throne, falsely accusing you of only knowing me, Xiao Yanyan, and not obeying the imperial edict, and almost beheaded your whole family..."
Xiao En was startled, and the past events came to mind. If Xiao Chuo hadn't given him the opportunity, his family would still be the slaves of others, and he could only lead horses for the Khitan nobles. Thinking of this, Xiao En felt fierce
He waved his hand, interrupted Xiao Chuo's words loudly, and hissed: "Queen Mother, please stop talking, Xiao En understands what should be done!" After saying that, he pulled out the knife from his waist and pointed it at his own.
The throat was wiped.
With a "chi" sound, a stream of hot blood was sprinkled on the city. Xiao En's strong body was crumbling. He looked at Xiao Chuo below the city with a smile and murmured: Queen Mother, Xiao En... Xiao En..., he
Before he finished speaking, his body fell to the ground with a thud, and Gugu's blood gushes out like a fountain, dyeing the blue bricks on the city head bright red.
"General!" Chen Tingyan suddenly knelt down in front of Xiao En, caressing the body and crying bitterly.
"General!" Tens of thousands of Khitan warriors around him knelt down straight.
With tears in her eyes, Xiao Chuofeng gently stroked the carved feather arrow in her hand and murmured: "General Xiao En, go on your way!"
Yang Yanrong stared at the scene in front of him dumbfounded, and was greatly shocked in his heart. Although this man named Xiao En has never been seen before, he can indeed be regarded as a man. From what Xiao Chuo said just now, he knew
I could vaguely hear the general outline of the matter. Xiao Chuo had a good relationship with Xiao En. Maybe he really had unspeakable reasons and had to be an enemy of Xiao Chuo. However, when Xiao Chuo mentioned some things that happened back then,
Xiao En's inner gratitude instantly occupied his brain. Faced with the choice between his former benefactor and his closest family member, he chose the former. He may not be considered a good husband or a good father, but he is definitely a good husband and a good father.
Shang is a loyal and good subordinate. He is not loyal to his country and people. He is only loyal to one person, and that is Xiao Chuo, the Empress Dowager of Chengtian. I don’t know how many people like Xiao En there are in the great Liao Kingdom.
Where are the people!
Killing people with just one word! What a brilliant art of killing? During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang angered Zhou Yu to death, which is enough to prove how brilliant his skills were, but compared with today's Xiao Chuo, it is a bit worse.
Yang Yanrong looked towards the city, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Uncle Chen, do you still remember me?"
Chen Tingyan wiped away her tears, stood up, stared at Yang Yanrong at the bottom of the city, and said loudly: "Yang Yanrong, Emperor Jianyuan of the Song Dynasty, you are not worthy of being called uncle Chen. Chen has never met your Excellency, right?"
At this time, Yang Yanrong was wearing a golden Mingguang armor and a heavy helmet. No wonder Chen Tingyan couldn't recognize him. Yang Yanrong took off his helmet and said loudly: "My nephew Chen Haonan, I paid homage to you at Uncle Chen's banquet that day."
Yes, did Uncle Chen forget his nephew so quickly?"
Chen Tingyan was stunned and looked at Yang Yanrong at the bottom of the city. After a while, he shouted out loud: "Are you Chen Haonan? Oh no, how did you become the emperor?"
Yang Yanrong smiled slightly and said: "I'm ashamed to say that my nephew came to Nanjing that day just to find a relative. Unexpectedly, he met two brothers, Chen Shouzheng and Wu Meicun, by accident. Because of his special status, I had to
I’m really sorry for coming here under a pseudonym!”
"This, this, this..." Chen Tingyan was stunned and didn't know what to say. What does it mean that the father-in-law beat him? How come it ended up that it was all acquaintances beating acquaintances? First, Xiao En had a relationship with the Queen Mother.
Since I have an uncle-nephew relationship with Emperor Jianyuan of the Song Dynasty, what else is there to fight for?
