Yang Peng chuckled and said, "Isn't that an old cow eating young grass?" Wu Shi pursed his lips and smiled, his beautiful eyes flowing, "Your Highness is not old!"
A maid hurried in and reported: "Madam, the lady is gone!" Wu Shi was stunned and said, "Gone?" Then she realized, "She went to Zhending Mansion?" The maid nodded. Wu said angrily: "It's true, you actually left without saying goodbye!" He quickly stood up and said, "Go and chase her back!" Yang Peng quickly pulled her back to her seat and said with a smile: "A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. My child, she is so embarrassed when she suddenly encounters something like this. You should leave her alone to calm down!" Wu Shi rolled her eyes at Yang Peng, "Your Highness is not in a hurry. Naturally, the slave family will not meddle in other people's business. Come on!" Then he said to the maid: "Go out, don't come in unless summoned." The maid responded and retreated.
Wu stood up, poured a full glass of wine for Yang Peng, and poured another glass of wine for himself. He put down the wine bottle, picked up the wine glass with his slender jade fingers, looked at Yang Peng with beautiful eyes, and lightly opened his red lips: "Your Highness, I would like to express my gratitude to you. You have a drink!" Yang Peng picked up the wine glass with a smile, raised his head and drank it. If the wine is not drunk, everyone will get drunk.
Yang Erya walked out of the city gate with the support of the guards, his cheeks were still feverish, and his heart was beating. When he thought of the scene just now, sweet joy could not help but surge into his heart, but again She was so ashamed that she felt a little eager to see Yang Peng, but also a little afraid to see him. Her heart was filled with excitement and shame, it was really confusing!
He shook his head vigorously, forcing himself not to think about it. He raised his head and looked into the distance, shifting his thoughts to the current general trend of the world. I can’t help but think: I am his general, and I must conquer the battlefield for him and conquer the world! As soon as she thought of this, a determined look appeared in her eyes.
Yang Peng left Wu Mansion. Seeing that it was still early, he left the city and went to the Zhonghun Palace outside the city. The Zhonghun Hall is located on the top of a high mountain. Under the scorching sun, it shines brightly and brilliantly. It has a majestic and majestic atmosphere that is difficult to fully appreciate once you look up! When people stand in front of him, they can't help but feel a pious feeling in their hearts, and they can't help but want to worship at his feet.
Wang Laozhi walked out quickly and saw Yang Peng offering incense to the fallen martyrs, so he stood aside and waited. After Yang Peng finished offering incense and bowed three times, he immediately came forward and bowed respectfully: "I pay my respects to Your Highness."
Yang Peng smiled and said, "No need to be polite."
Wang Laozhi asked, "Your Highness, please come to the Zen room at the back to speak." Yang Peng left the guards behind and followed Wang Laozhi out of the back door to the Zen room at the back. Yang Peng looked around and saw that the Zen room was very plainly decorated. The big Zen character hanging on the wall opposite the door was particularly eye-catching. Yang Peng couldn't help but smile and said, "Does this look like the place where an old monk belongs?" Wang Laozhi smiled, and then paid homage with the Ming Cult's etiquette: "My right envoy of light, pay homage to the leader!"
Yang Peng said angrily: "Okay, okay, don't keep bowing! My head is spinning!" Wang Laozhi stood up with a smile. Yang Peng sat down at the square table and said, "I have nothing to do today, so I came here to take a look. Your place is pretty good!" Wang Laozhi said with a smile: "This is indeed a Feng Shui holy land!"
Yang Peng thought of the conversation he had with Wang Laozhi when he first met, and asked curiously: "Can you really calculate the fate of people and the general trend of the world?" Wang Laozhi smiled and said: "History is like a river, upstream. It is what has not happened, and the downstream is what has happened or is happening. What happened upstream, the downstream can actually get some clues, and these clues are the basis for predicting the future."
Yang Peng asked with a smile: "Then have you seen anything recently?" Wang Laozhi shook his head and frowned: "The future is becoming more and more blurry! I can't understand it either! Suddenly a flying tiger with two wings The battle flags cover the sky, and suddenly the Liao Kingdom sweeps the entire world. In this unpredictable change, the wolf-headed battle flags and an extremely ferocious army often appear to wash the earth. I think that in the next few hundred years, the Yanyun Army will , Liao Kingdom and that mysterious power master!"
Yang Peng touched his chin and muttered: "Wolf Head Battle Flag? Who could it be?" Wang Laozhi shook his head, "I don't know, either." Yang Peng put the matter aside for the time being, stood up, and said with a smile: " Let’s go out for a walk.” Wang Laozhi bowed and agreed. The two left the Zen room and walked along the bluestone path towards the back mountain. Birds were chirping along the way, the trees were shaded, and the sun was no longer dazzling. Only a little spot of light shone on the bluestone. It felt like being far away from the world and being in the paradise of the cave. It made people want to ride on the wind. Yearning to go.
The two walked into a pavilion by the road. Yang Peng looked down the mountain and had a panoramic view of the huge Yanjing City. It felt like an exquisite sand table. Yang Peng turned around and smiled: "It's so good here, I can't help but want to become a monk and practice Taoism!"
Wang Laozhi smiled and said: "The leader is in the world and is looked up to by everyone in the world. I'm afraid it is rare to have such leisure. What's more, ladies and confidants, they are in their prime and youth. How about the leader? Are you willing to give up?" Yang Peng laughed and pointed at Wang Laozhi with his finger, "You old guy, I didn't expect that you are also a playboy!" Wang Laozhi laughed and said, "The leader made fun of you."
Yang Peng suddenly remembered something, "By the way, why didn't you see Miss Jinzhi?" "The holy aunt went to visit the refugees in the refugee camp outside the city. During this time, the holy aunt visited those who had fled almost every day. Poor thing." Yang Peng nodded, "She is really thoughtful!"
Wang Laozhi said: "Master, I have something to offer to the leader." Yang Pengxiao asked, "What good thing is it?" Wang Laozhi said with a smile: "The leader and his subordinates will find out when they come down." Yang Pengxiao asked Said: "It's quite mysterious! Lead the way!" Wang Laozhi smiled and led Yang Peng down the back mountain and into a stable behind the Loyal Soul Hall. As soon as Yang Peng walked into the stable, he heard a horse neighing like a tiger's roar from the innermost side, and was immediately startled. He quickly followed the sound and saw a particularly majestic horse standing in the innermost stable. That horse was really astonishingly big, two laps bigger than the most majestic horse Chen Xiao had ever seen. It roared and roared with the power of a lion. It looked so manic that no one would dare to approach such a horse. It is simply the legendary Pegasus!
Wang Laozhi smiled and asked: "What does the leader think of this horse?" Yang Peng came back to his senses and exclaimed: "What a horse! What a horse! I have seen countless horses, but I have never seen such a majestic one." Divine colt! My black dragon colt pales in comparison to it, let alone other war horses!" Then he asked curiously: "Where did you get such a divine colt?"
Wang Laozhi smiled mysteriously, "Master, please follow me." Then he led Yang Peng towards a small wooden house next to the stables. The two believers guarding the door of the cabin saw Wang Laozhi and Yang Peng and quickly bowed and saluted.
Wang Laozhi ordered them to open the room. The two agreed and immediately opened the door. Wang Laozhi led Yang Peng in. Yang Peng searched the room and immediately saw a face that surprised him. Beside the wooden bed in the back of the room, a tall, fair-skinned, blond, blue-eyed white man with a deep nose was chained to a wooden bed. This was the first time Yang Peng had seen a white man since he came to this world.
The ghost guy looked at Yang Peng and Wang Laozhi and said with a fearful expression: "What do you want to do?" He spoke in Chinese with a strange accent. Wang Laozhi smiled and said: "I said I would bring a big shot to discuss business with you, and now I have fulfilled my promise."
Gui Lao looked at Yang Peng, "Are you a big shot? Who are you?" Wang Laozhi quickly scolded: "How dare you be so rude in front of His Highness King Yan?" Gui Lao was startled and looked at him helplessly. Yang Peng looked at a loss. Yang Peng patted Wang Laozhi on the shoulder and said to the ghost guy in English: "Hello!" The ghost guy immediately opened his eyes as if he had seen a ghost. Then infinite surprise came to his face, and his eyes widened, "You, you..."
Yang Peng asked with a smile: "Do you understand what I just said?" Gui Lao nodded vigorously, pointed at himself and said excitedly: "I, I am an Englishman!" Yang Peng laughed, walked to the bed and sat down . At this time, Wang Laozhi looked at Yang Peng with an incredible look in his eyes. Yang Peng asked the ghost guy: "What's your name?" "I'm John, my name is John."
"My name is Yang Peng, and I am the king here." John is a foreigner and can't tell the difference between a king and a king. When he heard that Yang Peng was the king, he thought he was someone like those kings in Europe, so he knelt down Salute: "Meet His Majesty the King!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "Get up." John stood up with a very respectful attitude. Yang Peng looked at him and asked: "England is thousands of miles away from us. How did you come here? Did you come from the sea?" John shook his head, "The villain came here with the caravan."
"Caravan? Where are the others?" John showed sadness and fear. "They are all dead. Only the villain and the iron elephant came here." "Iron elephant? Is that the horse?" John nodded, He said with regret: "The villain originally brought twenty horses like that, but they were all taken away, and some died on the road, leaving only the iron elephant. I originally wanted to sell them for some money, but... " He raised his head and glanced at Wang Laozhi, but did not dare to say any more.
Yang Peng smiled and said, "We won't rob you. How much do you plan to sell this horse for?" When John heard this, he was overjoyed and said quickly: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive! I'll only sell it for a pound of gold!" Yang Peng was stunned. When John saw this, he thought that the other party was not satisfied with the price, so he quickly automatically reduced the price, "You, you can give me half a pound of gold!" Yang Peng laughed and said, "I will give you a pound of gold!" John was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly: " Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Okay, okay, get up." John stood up again, "Your Majesty is really a kind king! Please ask your Majesty to let me go!" Wang Laozhi said with a smile: "If you don't always think Even if you run away, I won't lock you up." Then he said to Yang Peng: "Your Highness, this man not only brought such a magical horse, but he is also proficient in horse matching, breeding and breeding techniques. His subordinates thought he was a talent, so they sent him to Yang Peng. He stayed here!"
Yang Peng understood and asked John: "Is this gentleman right?" John looked very hesitant. Yang Peng asked with a smile: "What? Is this question difficult to answer?"
John asked carefully: "If, if I can do this, will your Majesty keep me?" Yang Peng understood his worries and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't force you to stay. But if you really You are proficient in breeding and breeding techniques, so I will pay you a lot of money to be my horse breeder. I will give you half a catty of gold a month." John's eyes widened, and he knelt down and kowtowed quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! I am willing to stay and be Your Majesty. The horse breeder!"
Yang Peng smiled, "You haven't answered my question yet." John said quickly: "That adult is right, I am indeed proficient in war horse breeding and raising techniques." Then he showed a very proud look, "I am a whole The most distinguished horse breeder in England and France!”
Yang Peng smiled and said, "It's not okay to brag. I have to see real results." Seeing that Yang Peng doubted his skills, John was very excited and his face turned red. "Everything the villain said is true." ! A villain never lies!..."
Yang Peng stood up and said to Wang Laozhi: "Unlock his chains." Wang Laozhi immediately took out a key from his waist and unlocked John. John quickly moved his hands and feet, looking very happy.
Yang Peng walked out of the room, followed closely by John and Wang Laozhi. The iron elephant saw John and neighed excitedly. John was also very excited and was about to run over, but was stopped by two Mingjiao believers. John quickly begged to Yang Peng: "Your Majesty..." Yang Peng said: "Let him pass." The believer let go of John, and John rushed over impatiently, patted the iron elephant's neck, and the elephant, who had been restless, Ju suddenly calmed down immediately. Yang Peng smiled and said to Wang Laozhi: "Sometimes animals are more emotional than humans!" Wang Laozhi nodded with deep sympathy.
The two walked to the stables. At this time, John was holding the horse's neck and whispering in its ear. The horse rubbed its big head against John very affectionately, like a child acting coquettishly to its parents.
Yang Peng asked: "Are you willing to sell it?" John looked very embarrassed. Yang Peng smiled and said: "If you can breed me thousands of horses like Iron Elephant, I won't want your Iron Elephant, and I will give you three pounds of gold for free." John felt unbelievable, "His Majesty said Is it true?" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Of course it is true! The question is, can you breed a war horse like Iron Elephant?" John thought for a while, "I'm not sure yet! I have to first Just look at the horses here to be sure!”
Yang Peng nodded, "Go back with me first, meet your commander, and then talk about the rest." John looked like he was hesitating to speak. Seeing this, Yang Peng asked puzzledly: "What's the matter with you?" John quickly asked: "Your Majesty just said that he would let me be His Majesty's horse officer and give me half a catty of gold a month. Is it true? ?" Yang Peng saw that this was the reason for it and said with a smile: "Of course it is true. I will announce this appointment to several adults." John was overjoyed.
Yang Peng took John back to the left-behind mansion, and immediately summoned Qian Letian and Kou Yan, and then announced the order to appoint John as a horse officer. Qian Letian and Kou Yan looked at this ghost-like foreigner with blond hair and blue eyes, and were very surprised. Yang Peng handed John over to Qian Letian and Kou Yan and asked them to make detailed arrangements. After the three of them saluted, they left.
Yang Peng thought for a moment, then left the hall and went to the backyard.
Half a month later, Zuo Mou came back. "Lord, everything goes well." He then took out a volume of imperial edict and presented it to Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the imperial edict, read it over, and said with a smile: "Okay, with this imperial edict, we can legitimately adapt the Song army in Zhending Mansion and other places!" He put the imperial edict on the desk and asked "This trip went well, right?" Zuo Mou nodded and said with a smile: "I originally thought there would be some twists and turns, but I didn't expect that Wang Qinruo, Master Pang and others were so jealous of the money. As soon as the money was presented, they started talking without saying a word. I agreed. The next day, my subordinates received this imperial edict from Master Pang."
Yang Peng smiled slightly.
Zuo Mou remembered something, "By the way, the Queen Mother Shenxiao has a letter for me to deliver to the lord." Then he took out a small wooden box from his arms, opened the wooden box, took out a letter, and presented it to him with both hands. Yang Peng. Yang Peng took the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, and read it again, with a very confused look on his face. Zhao Xiangxiang wrote another poem. The writing is beautiful, the temperament is far-reaching, and it is pleasing to the eye. However, the content is irrelevant and completely irrelevant. Yang Peng had previous experience and found the keyword in each sentence. Finally, I got eight words, "May you be Fuxi and I be Nuwa." Yang Peng blinked his eyes with a confused expression, not understanding what this metaphor meant at all.
Yang Peng returned to the backyard and came to Yang Jiumei's yard, where he saw Yang Jiumei sitting in front of the window writing. Yang Peng was curious, so he stepped forward and saw that under Yang Jiumei's pen, beautiful regular scripts appeared on the paper like magic. When Yang Jiumei knew that Yang Peng was coming, she stopped writing, turned around, smiled sweetly, and then continued writing. Yang Peng exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! Her words are just like her words!" When Yang Jiumei heard Ailang's praise, her heart felt as refreshed as if she had eaten ice and snow.
After a while, Yang Jiumei finished writing. Yang Peng couldn't wait to say: "This calligraphy must be given to me!" Yang Jiumei smiled sweetly, "Since the eldest brother wants it, then I will give it to the eldest brother!"
Yang Peng put his arms around Yang Jiumei's slender waist, kissed her on the cheek, and said with a smile: "I hung this calligraphy in the bedroom. Looking at this calligraphy while sleeping on the bed, it's like my little sister is with me. It's the same around me." Yang Jiumei was pretty and flushed, her heart pounding.
Yang Peng suddenly remembered something and asked, "Little sister, what is the relationship between Fuxi and Nuwa?" Yang Jiumei said, "They were originally brothers and sisters, but later they became husband and wife."
Yang Peng couldn't help but feel his heart tremble. Yang Jiumei asked in confusion: "Brother, why are you asking this?" Yang Peng hugged Yang Jiumei, his lips pressed against her crystal ear and said softly: "I feel like I am Fuxi, and my little sister is like Nuwa. Here!" Yang Jiumei couldn't help but feel emotional.
Since Yang Peng had received the emperor's authorization, he immediately reorganized the Song army in Zhending Mansion and other places. Reorganize all Song armies into the Yanyun Eighth Army and the Yanyun Ninth Army. The capital commander of the Eighth Army Corps was Zhong Min, and the capital commander of the Ninth Army Corps was Chen Jie.
Since then, Yang Peng devoted all his energy to military expansion, war preparations and training. A steady stream of new blood enters the army. Armies from all over the country conduct arduous training during the day, and political commissars at all levels attend classes at night to instill the belief of bravery and loyalty into the hearts of every soldier, and continue to consolidate it. The size of Yang Zhen's ordnance field has more than doubled. Armor and weapons are continuously transported from here to warehouses in various places. Some new equipment appears from time to time, such as the latest heavy-duty armor named Xuantian Armor by Yang Peng. Armor is composed of two layers, the innermost layer is chain armor, and the outer layer is black lion armor (Xuanshi armor is currently the main equipment of Mo Dao Army and Iron Armored War Cavalry, and is based on Duan Zhixian's walking armor. An improved version of plate armor.
The defensive power of the Xuantian Armor is even higher than that of the Xuanshi Armor. Ling Zhen once hit the Xuantian Armor with a Mo knife in front of Yang Peng, but it was unable to break through it with one blow. The defensive power was impressive. After Yang Peng saw the power of this kind of armor, he immediately asked the ordnance field to produce it at full capacity. Yang Peng hoped that both the Modao Army and the Formation-breaking Cavalry would be equipped with this Xuantian Armor. Yang Peng felt that the current flintlock guns were okay when defending, but they were not good for riding on horseback. The Khitans liked to attack them all.
Unknowingly, a year has passed. On this day, Yang Peng, major government officials, and major military generals held a meeting in the lobby of the left-behind mansion. Attendees include Qian Letian, Zuo Mou, Kou Yan, Liu Zhiliang, Zhang Yan, Chai Yongqi, Chai Yonghui, Yang Zhen, and Wang Laozhi, all of whom are from the government; those from the military are members of the Supreme Military Council, respectively. They are Duan Zhixian, Zhan Jinguo, Yin Mingde, Zhou Dayong, Chen Jie, Huyan Chijin, Huyan Bixian, Yang Jing, and Han Bing. There is one more member of the Military Commission than before, Han Bing. According to the rules set by Yang Peng, only members of the Supreme Military Council can lead the army alone.
Zuo Mou stood in the middle of the hall holding a pamphlet and read: "...The above are the details. This year, the expenses totaled more than 8.2 million taels of silver." Then he presented the pamphlet to Yang. Peng. Yang Peng took the brochure and read it. Putting down the pamphlet, he smiled and said, "It's less than I expected, which is good!" He turned to look at Liu Zhiliang, "Liu Zhiliang, what's the situation in the army now?"
Liu Zhiliang stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Brother Qi, our army currently has ten legions, plus the secret guards and Feifeng guards beside me, there are a total of 765,000 people, including 150,000 cavalry. All legions have been reorganized, their morale is high, and their armors and weapons are all in place. They can pounce on the enemy immediately just waiting for the big brother's order!"
At present, the Yanyun Army's 760,000 troops belong to ten major legions, including 200,000 directly affiliated legions, 60,000 cavalry, including 20,000 formation-breaking cavalry, which are heavy armored cavalry, and 20,000 Modao troops; the first legion, The second legion has 70,000 troops each, and the other seven legions have 60,000 troops each. Each of these legions has 10,000 war cavalry and 3,000 Modao troops. The overall composition of the Yanyun Army is like this, excluding the navy.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
