At this moment, footsteps were heard outside. The generals turned around and saw the King of Goryeo in military uniform coming. The King of Goryeo was very young. Although he was wearing a military uniform, he still did not have the spirit of a general. He was followed by several Goryeo generals. This King of Goryeo was actually Wang Yue, the little prince of Goryeo back then. Now he is the king of Goryeo. On that day, the Japanese invaded in a large scale, and the capital of Goryeo fell. The royal family members suffered heavy losses. However, Wang Yue escaped because he was in the Liao Kingdom. He then followed the Liao army back to Goryeo to fight back against the Japanese. At this time, the Goryeo royal family was still on the throne. There were endless quarrels over the succession, and the throne was unresolved. Wang Yue had strong support from the Khitan people, so Wang Yue became the new king of Goryeo in one fell swoop, commanding the remaining soldiers and civilians of Goryeo.
Ye Qi Guanyin turned around and saw Wang Yue and others walking in. As soon as Wang Yue saw Ye Qi Guanyin, he respectfully clasped his fists and bowed: "Princess." Although he was the king of Goryeo, he did not dare to put on any airs in front of Ye Qi Guanyin of Liao Dynasty.
Ye Qi Guanyin waved her hand and said, "Your Majesty, please have a seat!" Wang Yue thanked him with a bow, walked to the left corner and sat down. Ye Qi Guanyin returned to his seat and sat down, while the generals of both sides stood under the tent. Wang Yue cupped his fists towards Ye Qi Guanyin and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder if there is a good way to attack Nanjing?"
Ye Qi Guanyin said: "As long as Your Majesty doesn't care about the life and death of those people, this battle will not be difficult! In fact, if the Japanese hadn't used those people to threaten them, the city would have been destroyed today!"
Wang Yue frowned and shook his head, "As the Emperor of Goryeo, how can I ignore the life and death of the people? If we attack the city together without caring about it, even if the Japanese are eliminated, the people of our country will inevitably bleed like rivers! I can't explain it to all my subjects. , I’m afraid this emperor will end up sitting there too!”
Ye Qi Guanyin frowned and said: "If this is the case, then this matter will be difficult to handle!" Wang Yue thought for a while and asked: "Is it possible to give up the attack on Nanjing, use part of the force to contain it, and use the main force to bypass it? Nanjing regains other places?"
Ye Qian Guanyin said: "This is meaningless. Now all the Japanese in Goryeo have been concentrated in Nanjing. Capturing other places has no practical significance for the progress of the entire war. The key issue today is still to capture Nanjing!" "Glancing at Wang Yue, he said, "As long as you Koreans don't care too much about the casualties of the people, this matter is actually very simple! As an emperor, you don't actually need to care too much about this. Once the general has succeeded, you will regain the king's land. How is it possible in the world without sacrificing human lives? Furthermore, it is not you who want to kill these people, but the Japanese who killed them, so you and your subordinates do not need to feel any uneasiness!"
Wang Yue still frowned, and there was a war between heaven and man in his heart. He was very moved by Ye Qi Guanyin's words, but he was very worried about the reaction of his troops and subjects. If the soldiers and subjects became angry with him and opposed him because of this matter, the throne of the emperor would be He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do it anymore, but seeing that the Japanese were about to be wiped out and liberation was just around the corner, yet he had to be tied up because of hundreds of thousands of people. This really made him unwilling. Wang Yue was so determined that he couldn't give up.
Ye Qi Guanyin didn't say anything. She had already said what she needed to say. It was up to Wang Yue to make up her mind. In fact, Wang Yue's concerns are unknown to Ye Guanyin, but to Ye Guanyin, she doesn't care whether Wang Yue can be the emperor or not. She only cares about defeating the Japanese, and only cares about having someone to bear the responsibility for the heavy casualties of the Goryeo people. , and this person is Wang Yue. As long as the responsibility for the heavy casualties of the Goryeo people is placed on Wang Yue, the relationship between the Liao Kingdom and Goryeo after the war will not be affected. It will not make much difference who becomes the emperor at that time.
"Your Majesty, you must not disregard the life and death of the people!" A Goryeo general with gray hair and beard was worried that Wang Yue would agree to Ye Qi Guanyin's suggestion. The so-called king Yue said nothing, and the king's words must not be ignored, so he spoke.
Wang Yue looked at the old general. The old general's name was Li Fengxian. He was a famous general of the previous generation of Goryeo. During the time of the first emperor of Goryeo, he was demoted to a commoner because of his greedy behavior. However, his influence in the civilian army But he was still very powerful. After Wang Yue followed the Khitan army into Goryeo, he was invited out with a special ceremony and became Wang Yue's army commander. When Wang Yue saw Li Fengxian's objection, he immediately gave up the thought that had just arisen in his mind, and said with a pleasant expression: "Old general, don't worry, as the emperor of Goryeo, I will not disregard the life and death of the people of Goryeo!" Li Fengxian was moved and said with clasped fists, " Your Majesty is wise!”
Wang Yue smiled slightly, turned to Ye Qi Guanyin, who had no expression at all, and said: "Princess's suggestion is very reasonable, but I really have some difficulties, so please forgive me!" Ye Qi Guanyin said calmly: "In this case, then we can only I have to think of another way!" Wang Yue asked quickly: "I wonder if your Majesty has any other way?"
Ye Qi Guanyin did not answer but asked instead: "Nanjing is also your capital. I believe there are palaces and palaces in it. In our country, every forbidden palace must have a secret passage to escape from the city. I wonder if the same is true for you in Korea?"
This was made very clear, and everyone understood the meaning of her words. Wang Yue was very happy and said: "I have almost forgotten it until the king mentioned it!" Then he said to Ye Qi Guanyin: "This palace in Nanjing There is indeed a secret escape path leading to the outside of the city, and the exit is in a small temple in the woods to the west of the city!" Everyone was overjoyed, and Xiao Baochong said angrily: "I didn't tell you about this secret path earlier, in vain. We have spent so much energy!" All the Liao generals looked displeased. Wang Yue quickly explained: "I didn't mean to hide it, it was actually because it was an experience when I was a child. If the king hadn't mentioned it just now, I would never have remembered it!" The generals were relieved when they heard what he said.
The blond warrior West said to Ye Qi Guanyin: "Your Highness, we can pass through this tunnel and coordinate the inside and the outside. I am willing to lead the army to attack the city!" The other Liao warriors also asked for orders. In front of these tough guys, Korea's several grand prizes pale in comparison. Li Fengxian frowned, took a step forward, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is Goryeo's Nanjing. The heavy task of breaking into the city should be borne by us Goryeo people!" Several other Goryeo generals agreed. The Liao generals turned to look at several Korean generals with sneers on their faces and contempt in their eyes. They obviously looked down on these Koreans. Governor Xiao Gu said mockingly: "I don't think there's anything to argue about in this matter. It must be our Liao army that helps you attack the city! If it's up to you to do it, haha, it doesn't matter if you die, I'm afraid it will be in vain." What a waste of this great opportunity!" The Liao generals burst into laughter.
Several Goryeo generals were very embarrassed. Li Fengxian clasped his fists towards Ye Qian Guanyin and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to issue a military order. If I don't succeed, I will be benevolent!" As soon as these words came out, all the Liao generals stopped laughing and showed a trace of admiration in their eyes. In terms of his attitude, it is quite admirable that this Korean veteran has such courage as the so-called "recognize the hero and value the hero".
Ye Qi Guanyin thought for a moment, looked at Li Fengxian, nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
Li Fengxian was overjoyed and thanked him. Ye Qi Guanyin said: "Without further delay, the attack time is tonight. You lead the Korean elite into the city through the secret passage and raid the east city gate. I will lead the main army and wait outside the east city gate. As long as you succeed, I will Lead the army into the city and defeat the Japanese with one drum!" "Yes!" Li Fengxian promised with clasped fists. Ye Qi Guanyin looked at Wang Yue and said, "Your Majesty, the main force of your Koryo army is also ambushing outside the east city gate with our army. When the gate is opened, we will enter the city together. You Koryo army don't have to fight with the Japanese, just save your people. That's enough, leave it to us to eliminate the Japanese!" Wang Yue stood up and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ye Qi Guanyin glanced at the generals and ordered majestically: "Every general will go down and prepare immediately, and take action at the third watch!" All the generals agreed in unison. After the meeting, Wu Xing prepared to leave the tent with everyone. Ye Qi Guanyin suddenly raised her voice and said, "Envoy Yanyun, stay." Wu Xing stopped and turned around. Everyone left the big tent, and only Wu Xing and Ye Qi Guanyin were left in the big tent. Ye Qi Guanyin stood up, walked to Wu Xing, and asked calmly: "I heard that your King Yan defeated Xixia and Tubo not long ago and recovered Shaanxi and Gansu?"
Wu Xing said: "Yes." Yeli Guanyin was silent for a moment and sighed. Wu Xing felt a little baffled, but then he understood that the other party was lamenting that his wonderful move did not have the desired effect, and Yan Yun's power became even stronger! Wu Xing secretly sneered: Although you are resourceful and cruel, it is a pity that you have met such an unprecedented hero like King Yan. Moreover, you are only an important minister of the Liao Kingdom and not the emperor. Naturally, it is difficult to compete with our King Yan!
Ye Qi Guanyin turned to Wu Xing and said, "Go ahead." Wu Xing didn't say anything, bowed with his fists in his hands, and left. Ye Qi Guanyin stood there in a daze for a while, then raised her voice and called her female guard captain.
Wu Xing returned to his tent, and his deputy Zhen Riqian came up to him, looked outside, and then asked: "Sir, does Ye Qi Guanyin have any way to deal with the Japanese?" This Zhen Riqian was also an outstanding student from the academy. Student, on that day Wu Xing was ordered to be the chief envoy, and Zhen Riqian was appointed deputy envoy to assist Wu Xing. This Zhen Riqian looked like an out-and-out scholar. He was actually a Confucian scholar before he was admitted to Yanyun Academy. He also studied hard to get a spot on the gold medal list. However, he quickly accepted Yang Peng's ideas and abandoned them. After studying in the past, he resolutely entered Yanyun Official School to study. In fact, there are many Confucian students like him.
Wu Xing sat down, picked up the teapot on the small wooden table, poured a bowl of tea, and drank it all in a few gulps. He put down the tea bowl, touched the water stains on his mouth, and then recounted what he had just seen and heard in the big tent.
Zhen Rigan frowned and said: "This move, I'm afraid this move is too high!" He glanced at Wu Xing, walked to sit next to him, and said: "Based on the performance of the Japanese before, this Sasuro Shigeo is clearly He is just an old fox, extremely cunning, how could he not think of this? I am surprised, what kind of person is Ye Qi Guanyin, how could he put his treasure on this?"
Wu Xingdao: "No matter how powerful Ye Qi Guanyin is, facing the Japanese who use the people of Goryeo as shields, they have nothing to do! Although this strategy is very risky, it is still a clever plan today!"
Zhen Rigan nodded, glanced at Wu Xing, and asked with a smile: "Sir, do you think they can make it?" Wu Xing shook his head, "It's hard to say, this matter is basically a bet on success or failure. Chengdu is a 50-50 number! But I hope they don't succeed!" Zhen Rigan nodded, "Yes, if they succeed, the Japanese in Goryeo will definitely annihilate the entire army, and then the Khitans will have time to take action. It’s not a good thing for us, Yan Yun!” Wu Xing nodded, “That’s what it is.” Then he frowned, “But there’s something strange. A person like King Yan can naturally see the connection. . However, King Yan ordered General Liu Zhiliang to assist the Khitans in attacking the Japanese when necessary, and ordered the navy to attack the Japanese fleet on the sea. If not, the Japanese would not be in such difficulty now! Why did King Yan want to What about helping the Khitans fight against the Japanese? I have been thinking about this these days, but I just can’t figure it out!"
Zhen Riqian nodded with deep approval and said: "I have thought of this too, but I can't figure out the connection!" He glanced at Wu Xing and said, "I don't think we need to bother with this. King Yan naturally has his own plans. Yan Every step the king takes must be made with foresight!" Wu Xing smiled, "You are right, who is King Yan? Naturally, many of his decisions are not something we can see through! Okay, let's not talk about this. Now, let’s talk about what we should do.”
Zhen Riqian looked like he was listening. Wu Xing leaned forward towards Zhen Riqian and lowered his voice: "Do you remember what I told you before?" Zhen Riqian immediately rang out the message that Wu Xing mentioned a few days ago that Ye Qi Guanyin had received. The Emperor of Liao was superstitious about things and asked: "That letter?"
Wu Xing nodded, looked outside, and whispered: "I have always been worried that Ye Qi Guanyin and the Emperor of Liao may be planning a conspiracy against us Yan Yun. We must read this letter! Tonight This is an opportunity!" Zhen Rigan frowned and said: "Although the Khitan army and the Koreans are going to launch a large-scale operation tonight, the tent will still be heavily guarded. It may not be easy to peek at the letter!" "I have it! A way." Wu Xing then whispered into Zhen Riqian's ear. …
His eyes turned back to Dingzhou.
As night fell, Yang Erya came to the gate of the Tubo Princess Mansion with an uneasy mood. Yang Erya came alone, with only a few female guards. Yang Peng could not come to accompany her because of something temporary. In Yang Peng's opinion, there could be no danger in this matter, so he was relieved that she came alone.
When several Tibetan maids waiting at the door saw Yang Erya coming, their eyes lit up, and they hurriedly came up to greet him. They saluted respectfully: "Welcome to General Yang!" The Tubo women did not show anything strange. She had a look on her face, because Yang Erya did not change into women's clothes, but was wearing men's clothes. She originally wanted to change into women's clothes, but she felt a little embarrassed after all, so she came in men's clothes. She didn't know it at the moment, but just because of her one thought, something almost happened.
Yang Erya and others turned over and fell off their horses. Yang Erya said to the Tibetan maids who were bowing in front of everyone: "No need to be polite." Several Tubo maids stood up, and then they noticed that the guard following Yang Erya actually They were all women, and they couldn't help but look slightly moved, feeling surprised in their hearts. Then several Tubo maids invited Yang Erya and others in.
When everyone came to the hall, the leading maid smiled and said: "The princess has set up a banquet in the back to entertain the general. Please stay in the front hall to drink tea!"
At this time, Yang Erya obviously couldn't shrink his neck anymore, so he had no choice but to nod his head, and then followed the maid around the screen in the hall and entered the backyard. The sky was full of stars and moon, the clouds were clear and the wind was gentle, the refreshing air made people feel relaxed, and the chirping of summer cicadas on the branches and leaves in the grass kept coming. Yang Erya looked up and saw a few lights on in the backyard with shadows of trees. It was a waterside pavilion by the small lake. A graceful figure was sitting among the debris. As soon as Yang Erya saw it She couldn't help but feel flustered.
"Please, General!" the maid asked with a smile. Yang Erya came to his senses and followed the maid towards the waterside pavilion. The two came to the waterside pavilion. Yang Erya saw the Tubo princess dressed in Tubo costumes. Her pretty face was covered with heavy makeup. She was really beautiful. She seemed even more beautiful than when they first met. Yang Erya Although she was also a woman, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
As for the Tubo princess, she never took her eyes off Yang Erya's body since Yang Erya walked in. There was infinite tenderness in her fiery eyes. "Princess, the general is here!" the maid bowed to report. Princess Gesang said to the maid: "Go down and don't disturb us." As she said this, her eyes did not leave Yang Erya for a moment. The maid promised and retreated. When she passed by Yang Erya, she pursed her lips and smiled. The smile was so ambiguous that it made Yang Erya, who was already uneasy, even more at a loss.
Princess Gesang extended her hand, pointed to the seat next to her and said, "General, please sit down." Yang Erya saw that there was only one seat next to the princess in the water pavilion, so he had no choice but to go and sit next to her. Princess Gesang picked up a silver pot on the table and poured wine for Yang Erya. She looked at Yang Erya lovingly with her eyes. Yang Erya felt the other person's gaze and did not dare to turn around to look at her. He pretended not to know, but his cheeks turned red involuntarily.
Gesang poured a full glass of wine for Yang Erya, and then poured another full glass for himself. Putting down the jug, he picked up the wine glass, "General, I'd like to toast you!" Yang Erya picked up the wine glass, "I don't dare, I want to toast the princess!" When he said this, he never dared to look at Gesang and raised his head. After draining the wine, Yang Erya's face became as red as a peach blossom and looked particularly charming as soon as the wine poured in. Gesang couldn't help but admired: "The general is really more beautiful than a woman!" When Yang Erya heard this, he took the opportunity to say: "I am actually..."
Gesang suddenly stopped Yang Erya's words and asked, "General, does he know what festival is today for us Tubo people?" Gesang said, "Today is the Fairy Festival for us Tubo people." "Oh." Yang Erya responded casually and was thinking about how to explain to Gesang that she was a woman, but she didn't know how to speak without a wedge.
Gesang took out an extremely delicate phoenix gold bracelet from his side and handed it to Yang Erya. His eyes were shining brightly and he said: "In our place, we give gifts to people during the Fairy Festival. This is the golden phoenix bracelet passed down to me by my mother. , now I give it to you, I hope you can accept it."
Seeing that the other party was so kind, Yang Erya took the golden phoenix bracelet. Thinking that he had a dagger on his body, he took it out and handed it over, "I don't understand your festival, so I didn't make any preparations. Please accept this dagger." Next." Gesang's eyes were bright and he looked radiant. He took the dagger and looked at Yang Erya lovingly, "Thank you!" Yang Erya saw that the other party seemed to be more interested in her, I muttered to myself: Shouldn't I give her a gift? Oh, I don't know their customs. I really shouldn't accept her gift rashly and give her a gift.
Yang Erya felt that it was not okay to continue like this, and she had to clarify the matter quickly, otherwise it would be more troublesome later. As soon as she thought of this, she was ready to explain to Gesang. At this moment, Gesang's face was red and he said: "Today is a good day for us, so don't waste time, let's go back to the room!"
Yang Erya was startled, and hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no!" Gesang was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Are you going to regret it? Today is Fairy Day, you accepted the gift I gave you, and I will give you your gift." I also accepted it, we are still husband and wife, how can you not accept it?"
Yang Erya blushed and said, "I didn't know your customs were like this! How about I return the bracelet to you!" He took out the bracelet and handed it over. Gesang stared at Yang Erya with a pale face. Yang Erya could clearly see the look of despair and anger in her eyes, and he couldn't help but feel very uneasy. Did he feel that he had hurt her? He quickly explained: "Princess, actually, it's not that I don't like you, it's that we can be husband and wife at all! Because I am a woman just like you!"
Gesang's eyes widened in surprise, and then he became angrier, "If you don't want me, you don't have to find such a ridiculous reason!" Seeing that Gesang didn't believe it, Yang Erya said anxiously: "What I said is true, I don't I lied to you!" Gesang sneered, "Since it is true, prove it to me! If it is proven that you are really a woman, I will no longer pester you!"
"How do you want me to prove it?" Gesang looked at Yang Erya's body and said, "Take off all your clothes and let me take a look." When Yang Erya heard this, he immediately became embarrassed and said, She felt that the other party was clearly being unreasonable and unreasonable, "I never lie. If you don't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it." Then she stood up, cupped her fists and said, "I'm really sorry for the many misunderstandings that have occurred before. , say goodbye." Then he walked outside.
Gesang panicked when he saw Yang Erya leaving immediately. He quickly stood up and shouted, "Don't leave!" The sound was like a cuckoo crying for blood, which made people sad. Yang Erya couldn't help but stop and turned around, "Princess, I really can't bear the wrong love you have for me!" Gesang smiled bitterly, "I know." He glanced at Yang Erya, He said in a pleading tone: "Today is Fairy Day, can't you have a nice drink with me?"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
