The soldiers rushed into the middle of the army, grabbed the officer, dragged him to the general stand, and forced him to kneel down. The officer struggled to stand up, but was held down by several soldiers and couldn't stand up at all. So he raised his head and spat at Wei Mingji, who was standing on the general stage, and cursed: "You are a treacherous sycophant, you will not die a good death for harming Zhongliang!"
Wei Mingji smiled coldly and asked: "As a general, Wei Mingji is my subordinate by all rights. He should obey my orders in all matters of love, reason and law! But he actually disobeyed orders and openly used force to When confronting your immediate boss, I would like to ask, who is the traitor and who is the loyal one?"
The officer didn't read much. He just relied on his feelings and feelings to feel that the governor was good and the general was treacherous, but he didn't think too much about the reason. At this moment, faced with Wei Mingji's question, he couldn't help but be speechless.
Wei Mingji snorted coldly, "I have nothing to say!" Then he raised his voice and said to the soldiers: "Wei Mingji has done his duty and committed rebellion and disobedience. This general has executed him in accordance with military law. It is reasonable and legal." This move! In fact, this general has given Wei Mingyi and others a chance a long time ago, but he did not cherish it. He still went his own way and got worse! This general had no choice but to use military law to deal with these people! This matter and everyone The army has nothing to do with it, as long as the armies do not rebel, bygones are bygones!"
After hearing what he said, all the soldiers could not help but feel shaken. With a cry, a soldier threw away the weapon in his hand and knelt down. Someone took the lead, and all the soldiers threw down their weapons and knelt down, shouting in confusion: "I am willing to listen to the general's orders!..." When Wei Mingji and others saw this scene, they finally let go of their worries. A proud smile appeared on Mingji's face. The officers who were detained under the general's platform saw that all the officers and soldiers had surrendered to Wei Mingji. They were furious and yelled: "The governor and several generals have been extremely kind to us. Now that the governor and the generals have just died unjustly, you are turning to us." Kill their enemies! Are you, are you still human?"
Many soldiers showed shame, but more of them looked indifferent.
Wei Mingji was worried that the conquered military spirit would be incited by him again, so he quickly said to Wei Likang: "Behead this stubborn guy!" Wei Likang responded and immediately jumped off the general platform with a sonorous sound. He pulled out his machete and slashed at the back of the officer's neck. With a click, a big head rolled to the ground. The officer's headless body fell to the ground, and gurgling blood kept pouring out, like thick paint. The child soaked a large area of the ground. The soldiers of the army were as silent as a cicada, and they couldn't help but feel the sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox dying in their hearts.
Wei Mingji raised his voice and said: "Now listen to my order, all troops return to camp to rest!"
All the soldiers agreed and dispersed one after another. Wei Mingji let out a long breath, turned his head and glanced at Zheng Heicheng beside him, and said with a smile: "Thanks to your plan, this great general can let out such a bad breath!" Na Zheng Heicheng quickly bowed and said: "The last general doesn't dare to take credit! If it weren't for the great general's majestic power that intimidated all the troops, I'm afraid things would have gone wrong!" Wei Mingji burst out laughing, quite high-spirited.
At this moment, an officer galloped into the military camp and ran straight to the general ordering platform. He reined in his horse suddenly, turned over, and knelt down and said: "General, it's bad, the envoy, the envoy was driven back by Yan Yun's army!"
Wei Mingji was taken aback and asked hurriedly: "What does King Yan mean by driving away the envoy? Is King Yan unwilling to negotiate peace?" The officer shook his head and said, "I don't know the specific villain!" Wei Mingji was silent for a moment. , asked: "Where is the envoy now?" The officer said: "We just entered the city and are resting at the city gate." Wei Mingji immediately ran down from the general station, got on his horse, and ran towards the outside of the military camp, accompanied by all the soldiers. Two trusted generals followed closely behind.
After a while, everyone arrived at the North City Gate. They saw the members of the mission scattered in clusters here and there near the city gate. Everyone looked like they were just recovering from the shock. Those Xixia beauties were sobbing non-stop. It was obvious that everyone I was quite frightened. Wei Mingji and others got off their horses and ran to the crowd. They looked around, but did not see the imperial envoy Li Tuo. So Wei Mingji grabbed a member of the mission and asked, "Where is Mr. Li Tuo?"
The man cried and said: "My lord is dead!" Wei Mingji and others were shocked and couldn't help but secretly thought: Yan Yun blatantly killed the peace envoy, because he was determined to carry the war to the end!
Then the man pointed to a carriage with curtains hanging behind him and said, "Your Excellency's body is in the carriage!"
Wei Mingji was too lazy to look and asked anxiously: "Why did Yanyun kill Lord Li?" The man shook his head, "The Lord was not killed by Yanyun people, he committed suicide!" Wei Mingji was very surprised. , then understood, frowned and said: "He must have seen that he could not complete the mission, so he committed suicide to apologize!" So far, the plan to assassinate Yang Peng in the name of surrender is still limited to Li Qingxia and the two prime ministers in Xixia. The Grand Marshal knew that no one else, including those traveling with Li Tuo, knew of the existence of this assassination plan. Li Tuo indeed committed suicide. He was angry at the insult and did not want to see his beloved motherland fall into the hands of Yan Yun, so he committed suicide on his way back.
Wei Mingji was worried and said to Zheng Heicheng: "You arrange the envoys and send them back to Beijing as soon as possible." Na Zheng Heicheng responded and immediately called the envoys to go down.
Wei Mingji climbed up to the city gate tower and looked towards the Yanyun military camp outside the city. He saw people coming and going in the Yanyun camp, and there was a faint murderous atmosphere! Wei Mingji was shocked and confused, not knowing what to do.
A moment later, Na Zhengheicheng rushed up to the city gate tower, saluted Wei Mingji and said, "We have arranged the envoy and his entourage in accordance with the general's order!" Wei Mingji nodded absently.
Na Zheng Heicheng frowned and said: "The final general checked the body of the imperial envoy and found that he had many injuries on his body. It seems that he had fought fiercely with others before!..." Wei Mingji was very surprised and looked at Zheng Heicheng. , asked: "What's going on? Have you asked anyone else?"
Na Zhengheicheng said: "The general has already asked, but no one can tell the reason. The general is suspicious. He suspects that the imperial envoy was insulted and beaten when he met with King Yan. The imperial envoy committed suicide. I'm afraid there is a big reason. The reason is because of this!" Wei Mingji frowned and remained silent.
He raised his head and glanced at the Yanyun military camp outside the city, which had a faintly ferocious look, and asked, "Can we stop the Yanyun army?" Zheng Heicheng followed Wei Mingji's gaze and looked at it with fear in his eyes. With a look on his face, he turned around and said to Wei Mingji: "General, the Yanyun Army is advancing from the north to the south. It is unstoppable. Our army has lost consecutive battles and lost ground. The Yanyun Army is clearly invincible!" Wei Mingji's heart trembled. After a moment, there was a deep look of fear in his eyes, and he couldn't help but murmured: "Can we just sit back and wait for death?"
Na Zheng Heicheng said quickly: "General, I don't know whether to say something or not?" Wei Mingji thought he had a good strategy to defeat the enemy, so he said angrily: "What are you still hesitating about at this time? If you have anything to say, just say it." explain!"
Zheng Heicheng responded, came forward, and whispered in Wei Mingji's ear. Wei Mingji showed a look of shock, but then he showed a look of thoughtfulness, and murmured hesitantly: "Is this good?"
Zheng Heicheng said anxiously: "General, don't hesitate at this moment, otherwise you will only end up being shattered to pieces!" Wei Mingji felt a shiver in his heart and couldn't help but nodded. …
Night fell, and Yang Peng was still standing in front of the map, thinking. The sound of footsteps came from behind, and then an intoxicating fragrance floated in front of him and got into his nose. Yang Peng recovered his thoughts and smiled slightly, "Meier, are you here?"
Yelu Hanyu chuckled, came to Yang Peng, and said teasingly: "Brother's nose is really like a hound!" Yang Peng laughed, naturally stretched out his left hand to hug Yelu Hanyu's slender waist, and lowered his head. He kissed her red lips and said with a smile: "It's not that I have a bad nose, but your fragrance is so moving! Once you smell it, you will never forget it!" Yelu Hanyu glanced at Chen Xiao lovingly. Then he looked at the map in front of him and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Yang Peng's eyes returned to the map and said: "I'm wondering what Li Qingxia will do next?" Yelu Hanyu snorted coldly, "The map is so poor, what else can I say? Naturally, I will fight to the death." !" Then he sighed, "To be honest, I admire this Li Qingxia!"
Yang Peng nodded with deep sympathy, then turned around and smiled: "But no matter how great she is, she can't compare to my Mei'er!" Yelu Hanyu smiled sweetly, thinking of what happened back then, he couldn't help but sigh, and couldn't help but murmur Said: "Da Liao has become like this!"
Yang Peng asked: "Has Mei'er ever thought about reinvigorating the Liao Kingdom?" Yelu Hanyu shook his head, frowned slightly and said: "Da Liao is already like this, why should we keep thinking about it? The outcome of Daliao can be said to be that of us Khitan people It was all caused by one hand, no one can blame it!" He turned around and glanced at Yang Peng, smiled sweetly, leaned his delicate body on Yang Peng's arm, rested his head on Yang Peng's shoulder, and murmured: "Today's Khitan people in Yanyun , are all the people of Yanyun!" Yang Peng's heart trembled, he lowered his head and said softly: "She is still the wife of King Yan!"
Yelu Hanyu raised his head and looked at Yang Peng lovingly. Suddenly there were footsteps at the door. Yelu Hanyu was startled and quickly left Yang Peng. The two turned around and saw Wang Kai hurried in, clasping his fists and saying: "Master, Madam, there is a person outside who wants to see the master for something!" Chen Xiao asked: "Who is it?" Wang Kai frowned and said : "This person is sneaky and doesn't look like a good person. He says he has something big to do and wants to see the master!"
Yang Peng and Yelu Hanyu exchanged glances. Yelu Hanyu smiled and said, "I'm afraid he has the same thoughts as Concubine Lan." Yang Peng nodded, turned to Wang Kai and said, "Bring him in." Wang Kai responded, Ran down.
After a while, Wang Kai came in with a middle-aged man dressed as a party member. He was tall and thin, with round eyes. When he saw Yang Peng, his eyes lit up. He quickly came over and kowtowed, "Little man" Then Zheng Heicheng pays homage to His Highness King Yan!"
Yang Peng glanced at the middle-aged man kneeling in front of him and said, "If you call Zheng Heicheng, does that mean he is the general next to Wei Mingji?" When Zheng Heicheng heard that Chen Xiao knew about him, he was immediately flattered and anxious. He said in a voice: "It's the villain, it's the villain! I didn't expect that King Yan knew about the villain, the villain is really, really..." In the excitement, he couldn't say the next words.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "You are not my subordinate, so you don't have to pay homage like this!" But Zheng Heicheng said with great sincerity: "I dream of becoming a subordinate of King Yan! King Yan is the king of heaven and earth. The greatest hero in the world, if he can follow King Yan, the villain will not complain even if he is immediately shattered to pieces!"
Yang Peng found it very interesting and asked: "As a subordinate of Wei Mingji, why did you come to see me late at night?" Na Zhengheicheng said: "Little man..." After saying two words, he stopped and looked at me. Yelu Hanyu, who was standing next to Yang Peng, couldn't help but be startled when he saw Yelu Hanyu's peerless appearance. He was just talking to Yang Peng, all his thoughts were on Yang Peng, and he didn't pay attention to the figure standing next to Yang Peng. This person is indeed a heavenly beauty with unparalleled beauty. Suddenly realizing that he had been rude, he quickly lowered his head.
Yang Peng smiled and said: "This is my wife, you don't have to have any scruples!" When Zheng Heicheng heard that the stunningly beautiful woman was Yang Peng's wife, he couldn't help but secretly praise him and quickly bowed to Yelu Hanyu. Said: "I have met the princess! I was really rude just now!"
Yelu Hanyu smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. The eldest brother was here, so naturally he had the final say in everything. As smart as she was, he would never say anything.
Yang Peng said to Zheng Heicheng: "If you have anything to say, just say it." Zheng Heicheng responded and said: "This villain is here to see King Yan on the orders of my general! "Yang Peng walked to the map with his hands behind his back. At this time, Na Zhengheicheng continued: "My general has great respect for King Yan and is willing to serve under King Yan to do the hard work of dogs and horses!"
Yang Peng smiled slightly, but still held his hands behind his back and said nothing, waiting for him to continue. Yang Peng seemed to be indifferent to Zheng Heicheng, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and continued: "To express his sincerity of surrender, my general is willing to offer Dingzhou City with both hands! But my general has one condition!"
Yang Peng turned around and said calmly: "Dingzhou Governor Wei is the actual controller of Dingzhou, so why should Wei Mingji dedicate Dingzhou to me?" Zheng Heicheng smiled and said: "Yan What the king doesn’t know is that Wei Jiuyi was executed by our general for committing rebellion, and now our general actually controls Dingzhou City!”
Yang Peng suddenly heard the news of Wei Jianyi's death and felt a little unbelievable. Then he came back to his senses and couldn't help but secretly sighed: "You are such a hero and you died in the hands of a villain!" He glanced at Zheng Heicheng, who was looking at him eagerly, and asked: "So, Dingzhou City is completely under the control of Wei Mingji?" Zheng Heicheng nodded: "Exactly! That's why my family is big Only a general can dedicate Dingzhou City to King Yan with both hands!"
Yang Peng walked slowly and asked: "What does Wei Mingji want to get?" Zheng Heicheng said quickly: "My general hopes that King Yan can canonize him as the governor of Xixia and take charge of Xixia's military and political affairs!"
Yang Peng laughed loudly, and the laughter was full of ridicule. Seeing this scene, Zheng Heicheng felt a little overwhelmed. He originally thought that King Yan would definitely agree to this condition. After all, if Dingzhou City could survive without a fight, Next, it will be a matter of time to capture Xingqing Mansion. Dedicating Dingzhou City is definitely a great achievement. With this great contribution, there should be no problem in obtaining the official position of Governor of Xixia. However, Yang Peng's performance was greatly It was beyond his expectation, and he didn't know what to do for a moment.
Yang Peng stopped laughing, glanced at Zheng Heicheng, and said sarcastically: "Wei Mingji dares to speak! Now that our armies from the north and south of Yanyun are approaching Xingqing Mansion, why does he propose such conditions to me? Without him, Xixia would not be able to escape my Wuzhishan!"
Na Zheng Heicheng said quickly: "This, this is what the general meant. In fact, the villain also thinks that this request is a bit too much! However, if the general is not satisfied, he will definitely fight to the end. At that time, Yan Yun Dajun is just afraid that it will not be easy to take over Xingqing Mansion!"
Yang Peng smiled mockingly, looked at Zheng Heicheng, and said coldly: "You guys, you still want to resist the front of my Yanyun army?" Zheng Heicheng was shocked, and he suddenly felt that the thing he relied on was The other party saw it as nothing more than a joke, and he couldn't help but panic. A terrible thought suddenly came to his mind: 'He, will he kill me to sacrifice the flag?' 'Thinking of this, my heart couldn't stop beating.
Yang Peng said: "Go back and tell you, General, that he has only two options. One is to resist to the end and be trampled to pieces by Yan Yun's iron hoof. The other is to open the city gate immediately and surrender. I can make him the governor of Dingzhou and continue to enjoy All the glory and wealth he has achieved so far.”
Na Zheng Heicheng responded quickly and said: "The villain will definitely bring the words of King Yan, the villain will definitely bring the words of King Yan!" Yang Peng glanced at him and said: "This is what I want to say, You should go back immediately and inform your general, so that he can take care of himself!" Zheng Heicheng responded quickly, stood up, bowed respectfully to Yang Peng, and then left in a hurry.
Yelu Hanyu smiled coldly and said contemptuously: "Villain!" Yang Peng glanced at Yelu Hanyu with a smile and said: "Good villain, the more villains there are in the enemy, the more advantageous it is for us! So let's You shouldn't be disgusted, you should be happy, let the villains come more!" Yelu Hanyu couldn't help but chuckle, rolled his eyes at Yang Peng, and then thought to himself: "Brother's words are true, the villains on the enemy's side are indeed The more, the better!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Actually, this is not correct. It should be said that they are hypocrites! That Wei Mingji and others must be sanctimonious and upright in front of their own people, but they do this kind of thing behind their backs. A real villain is so open-minded and so obviously evil that he would not do this! Therefore, Wei Mingji and others should be hypocrites, not villains!"
Yelu Hanyu pursed his lips and smiled, rolled his eyes at Yang Peng, and said: "Only the eldest brother can distinguish it so carefully!" Then he thought about it, frowned slightly and said: "But what the eldest brother said is very reasonable. The fact seems to be That's it!" He glanced at Yang Peng and said with a smile, "Whether it's a real villain or a hypocrite, we can't have it anyway, but the more enemies there are, the better!" Yang Peng nodded with a smile, but in his heart I thought: 'It's true that you can't buy a hypocrite, but you don't have to be a real villain. Those guys who clearly mark their prices are actually quite business-ethical and can often be used! Forget about being a hypocrite, anyone who messes with a fighter jet among the garbage will definitely be in trouble! '
Yelu Hanyu thought about it and said: "Eldest brother did not agree to Wei Mingji's request. I wonder how Wei Mingji will react?" Yang Peng said: "If he is a figure like a demon king, he will definitely fight us to the end. If he is just a hypocrite, , Haha, then he will definitely give in!"
Yelu Hanyu looked at Yang Peng and asked: "What kind of person does eldest brother think he is?" Yang Peng shook his head and said: "It's hard to say, after all, I haven't had much contact with this person, and I only dealt with him once at Keyimen. . I have never seen him face to face that time. I can only see that this person has no ability to lead an army in a war." He glanced at Yelu Hanyu and said with a smile: "If he wants to fight to the end, that's okay. I'm just a kid. The 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses in the prefecture city are nothing compared to our 200,000-strong Yanyun army."
Yelu Hanyu asked with a smile: "Brother, don't you want to accept his surrender?" Yang Peng nodded and frowned: "Although the villain can save us a lot of trouble by surrendering, it will be a lot of trouble later! These guys They might cause some trouble, and they have to send people to monitor them, which is a waste of resources and energy. It would be better to use military means to solve the problem from the beginning, which will save a lot of trouble in the future!"
Yelu Hanyu smiled and said: "But whether they are villains or hypocrites, as long as they come to surrender, we cannot refuse!" Yang Peng sighed helplessly and said: "Yes. Although we accept these people's offers, we can't refuse them!" Surrendering will be very troublesome later, but after all, it can greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers. Compared with the problems in the future, we will still make a lot of money; besides, if we do not accept the surrender of others, all our enemies will fight to the death in the future. , In that case, we will have to pay a lot of unnecessary sacrifices." Yelu Hanyu nodded, looked at Yang Peng, and said with a smile: "One more thing, these villains and hypocrites will have a negative impact on our future rule if we are conquered. The place is actually very beneficial! Using people of the same ethnic group to rule can reduce a lot of resistance and rejection!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, and couldn't help but glance at Yelu Hanyu with a strange expression.
Yelu Hanyu is so smart. When he saw Yang Peng like this, he immediately understood what he was thinking and said angrily: "Do you think I am a villain and a hypocrite too?"
Yang Peng quickly hugged Yelu Hanyu's slender waist, "It's unfair, I didn't think so! Haha, speaking of it, I really made a profit. Not only did I get the Khitan people, but I also got such a beautiful and intelligent person. A good wife! What more can a husband ask for when he has such a wife!" Yelu Hanyu smiled, looked at Yang Peng affectionately, raised his right fist and lightly hit Yang Peng on the chest, saying infatuatedly : "I can become your wife, it is really a blessing from my previous life! I always thank God for allowing me to meet my eldest brother and for allowing me to get his love!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
