Yang Peng took Ye Qi Guanyin off the horse, put it on the ground, and said with a smile: "Guanyin, why did you come here?" Ye Qi Guanyin said angrily: "You don't want me to come, then I'll just leave!" Then he turned around and prepared to get on his horse. Yang Peng quickly grabbed her and said with a smile: "How could I not be happy? Your sudden appearance really gave me a big surprise!" Ye Qi Guanyin smiled brightly. Yang Peng took her to a bonfire and sat down, then told Wang Kai: "Get some food and drinks." Wang Kai responded and went down to prepare.
Yang Peng turned his head and saw the dusty look on Ye Qi Guanyin's face, and he couldn't help but feel compassion in his heart. Ye Qi Guanyin saw the look in Yang Peng's eyes and said with a smile: "What expression are you looking at? I am not one of your useless concubines!" Yang Peng laughed.
Wang Kai brought a wooden plate of barbecued meat and wine, placed it in front of Ye Qi Guanyin, and then bowed and retreated. Ye Qi Guanyin came all the way and didn't bother to eat. She was very hungry. Now when she saw the food, she immediately picked up the food and wolfed it down. At the same time, she drank a lot of wine. Her heroism was no less than that of the heroes of Yan and Zhao. She is indeed the daughter of the grassland, the world-famous Princess Yeqi! Most people would be stunned when they saw this scene, but Yang Peng had long been accustomed to it, so he didn't notice anything strange. He watched Ye Qi Guanyin eating and drinking with a smile.
After a while, Ye Qi Guanyin had eaten and drank enough. She took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then threw it away. He turned around and said to Yang Peng seriously: "Don't think that I came after you because I missed you!" Yang Peng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to hold Ye Qi Guanyin's thigh, and said: "I know, who is Guanyin?" How could you travel thousands of miles for the sake of your children's personal affairs?" Yeli Guanyin smiled and said: "It's good that you know." Then he frowned and said: "This attack on Goryeo cannot be without me! Among all the people in Yanyun, there is no one better than me. I understand the Japanese better!"
Yang Peng couldn't help but become curious and said: "You fought against the Japanese once, and that time you almost wiped out all the Japanese in Goryeo. In your opinion, what kind of army is the Japanese army?"
Ye Qi Guanyin showed a look of recollection and said: "The Japanese are as fierce as wild beasts, and the so-called 'warriors' among them are not afraid of death, they are fierce and crazy!" He raised his head, glanced at Yang Peng, and said with a smile: " But I don’t think they are more difficult to deal with than the Yanyun Army! Although the Japanese are crazy and fierce, their weaknesses are also very obvious. They have very few cavalry, simple formations, and unreasonable combination of arms. Field combat is his weakness. But if he is trapped in In melee battles, or in urban offensive and defensive battles, it is not easy for the Japanese to deal with them, especially the elite warriors among the Japanese." At this point, Ye Qi Guanyin frowned and continued: "These warriors are extremely powerful in melee battles. The sergeants are definitely no match for them. I suffered the same fate when I led an army to fight fiercely with the Japanese!"
When Yang Peng heard Ye Qi Guanyin talking about the Japanese warriors, some scenes that appeared in his mind could not help but appear in his mind, and his face looked thoughtful. He turned to look at Ye Qi Guanyin and asked: "Are there many of these warriors you are talking about?" Ye Qi Guanyin shook his head and smiled: "If there are a lot of them, is there any natural reason? The number of these warriors is limited. Their status in the army is somewhat similar to that of the Liao Kingdom's Tiefutu and Yanyun's Xuanjia Army, which are the most elite force among the Japanese! But even these people are nothing special in field battles!"
Yang Peng nodded and thought about it. Suddenly he felt something leaning on his shoulder. Yang Peng came back to his senses, turned around and found that it was Ye Qi Guanyin leaning on his shoulder. He closed his eyes and said, "Don't move, I'm just going to take a rest." ." Yang Peng smiled tenderly, stretched out his right hand, and hugged the slender waist of Yedi Guanyin. With the other hand, he picked up a branch, reached into the bonfire and picked a bonfire. The flame jumped a little and started to burn brightly again. The surrounding area immediately became hot again.
Early the next morning, the group continued on their way, with the sound of horse hooves rumbling and smoke billowing as they rushed straight towards Yanjing.
His eyes turned to Tianjing New City. The Tubo envoy Zambala and the Xixia envoy Li Tianhao were brought to the palace hall by the hidden guards. The two people suddenly met at the door. Li Tianhao couldn't help being shocked, while Zambala looked very angry and stared at Li Tianhao.
The two of them were brought into the hall, and they saw a woman with noble temperament and beautiful appearance in official robes sitting behind the chief's desk, looking through files. The two did not recognize her, but they saw that she was sitting on the chief's seat. It turned out to be a woman, and they couldn't help but feel very surprised.
Jiang Li, who was standing aside in military uniform, shouted: "Why don't you bow when you see the princess?"
The two were startled, recalling some of the rumors they had heard all along, and couldn't help but secretly thought: 'This must be the legendary Princess Han Bing, or Princess Yelu. 'Thinking like this, he bowed and said: "I have met the princess." Yelu Hanyu raised his head, glanced at the two of them, put down the file, and said: "Originally, the vendetta between your two families has nothing to do with us Yan Yun, our Yan Yun We can't control Yun. But this is Yanyun, and if you cause trouble here, we have to control it." Zambala glanced at Li Tianhao next to him, his expression was very angry, but he didn't say anything. He seemed to be suppressing it. With his own anger.
Yelu Hanyu said: "I called you here today not to hear the case, but to remind you not to cause trouble here. Let the past pass. If similar things happen again, don't blame us for being unreasonable." Let’s meet! Do you understand?” Li Tianhao quickly bowed and said: “Thank you for your forgiveness! I will never do anything wrong again!” Yelu Hanyu nodded and looked at Zambala, who bowed and said; Don't worry, I haven't had any bad thoughts before, and I will never have any bad thoughts in the future!" His implication was obviously that Li Tianhao and the others intended to cause harm in this matter, not that they, the Tubo people, were causing trouble.
Yelu Hanyu said: "Very good, you can go back to the guest house!" Hearing this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. Li Tianhao hurriedly asked: "Excuse me, my queen, when will King Yan receive me?"
Yelu Hanyu said: "The King of Yan has rushed to Yanjing on important matters, so he cannot meet you." The two of them were very surprised, and some dissatisfaction arose in their hearts. They felt that the King of Yan could have met them before going to Yanjing, but he couldn't. There was no interview, and now he went to Yanjing again and left himself alone in Tianjing New City. This clearly showed contempt for himself and the country behind him. Although the two of them were dissatisfied, they did not dare to show it at all. This is true between countries, and even among all things in the world. The weak eat the strong, the strong are respected, and the weak have no dignity at all!
Yelu Hanyu saw the unnatural expressions of the two people and naturally understood their thoughts. He couldn't help but sneer secretly and said: "You don't have to worry about anything. King Yan has already explained it before he left. Regarding your matters, there are Sister Han Bing has full authority to handle it! Forget it for today, you go back to the guest house to rest first, and the Tibetan envoy will see you tomorrow, and the Xixia envoy will see you the day after tomorrow!" The two of them bowed and agreed, and then left.
The two people came out of Prince Yan's Mansion and found that their followers had also been released and were waiting at the door. The two sides glared at each other. If there were no guards from Prince Yan's Mansion to isolate the two sides, they might have started fighting.
The two silently boarded their carriages and left Prince Yan's Mansion. Zambala was sitting in the carriage, frowning slightly and showing his thoughts. Suddenly, there was noise outside, including the sound of footsteps, the sound of carriages, and the shouts and curses of his accompanying guards. Zambala quickly opened the curtain and saw that the people from the Xixia envoy were catching up. His guards and followers drew their weapons one after another, their faces full of anger, and they were about to take action. Zambala quickly shouted: " Don't move!" Everyone who was about to take action suddenly heard Zambara's shout and suppressed it. However, the scimitar was not sheathed and they still glared at each other. However, people from the Xixia mission did not seem to show any hostility.
Li Tianhao's carriage came to a stop next to Zambala's carriage. The curtain opened, revealing Li Tianhao's face. Zambala mocked in a cold voice: "Is it possible that Mr. Li still refuses to give up?"
Li Tianhao sighed and said apologetically: "I have no choice but to do that!" Then he said: "The Prime Minister is knowledgeable and has a wisdom as deep as the sea. He must be able to understand my difficulties!" Zambala sneered: "You are following my example. Ban Chao of the Han Dynasty. It’s a pity that you are not Ban Chao, and Yan Yun is not a weak country in the Western Regions. Such an approach is simply ridiculous!”
Li Tianhao smiled bitterly and said sincerely: "Prime Minister, how about we find a place to sit down and have a good talk?" Zambala actually had this intention. Although he hated that the other party actually came to attack and kill him, he also understood the other party's intention. This approach was unavoidable. At the same time, he also hoped to stabilize Xixia and prevent the situation from getting out of control, so he nodded and said: "Let's go to Tianjing Hotel and have a seat." Li Tianhao was very happy, and then asked his deputy to take most of the The people were brought back to the guest house, and Zambala also asked his deputies to take most of the people back to the guest house. The two of them drove to Tianjing Hotel together in a light carriage. …
Han Bing and Yelu Hanyu were sitting in the pavilion in Yelu Hanyu's yard playing chess. Han Bing was holding a white chess piece, and Yelu Hanyu was holding a black chess piece. The black chess piece had already formed a huge advantage in outflanking the white chess piece, and the white chess piece could only be Struggling to support. After a few more moves, Yelu Hanyu's black chess swallowed up a piece of white chess in one fell swoop. The situation of white chess immediately became in disarray. It was obvious that the army was defeated and there was no way to recover. Han Bing took a long breath, threw the white piece in his hand back into the chess cup, and said with a wry smile: "I lost again!"
Yelu Hanyu smiled and said: "Sister Han Bing has made rapid progress. She actually fought with me for a long time today. I believe that given time, it will be difficult for me to compete with sister Han Bing!" Although Han Bing was determined in his heart to beat Yelu Han Yu, but I also know that it will not be achieved overnight.
At this moment, Jiang Li led a secret guard in civilian clothes over and reported: "I would like to inform you two empresses that the guard responsible for monitoring the Tibetan envoys has returned." The guard in civilian clothes immediately came forward and said: "I pay my respects to the two empresses."
The two women's eyes turned to the guard at the same time, and Yelutri asked: "You are responsible for monitoring the Tibetan envoys. Did you find anything?"
The guard said: "Shortly after the Tubo envoy left, the Xixia envoy caught up with the Tubo envoy. The two were very hostile at first, but they soon seemed to reconcile. Then they sent away most of their entourage and went Tianjing Hotel. The two of them booked a private room in the Tianjing Hotel. Their subordinates disguised themselves as waiters and brought drinks in. They saw with their own eyes the smiles on their faces and their harmonious relationship. It seemed that they had completely turned enemies into friends. "
Yelu Hanyu and Han Bing looked at each other with very surprised expressions. Liang Hongyu asked: "Did you hear what they said?" The guard said: "When the villain went in to deliver the drinks, they had stopped talking. We who were lurking next door couldn't hear them clearly, they spoke in very low voices."
Han Bing frowned and asked: "Is there anything else you haven't reported?" The guard said: "No more." Liang Hongyu said: "You continue to monitor and report immediately if there is any situation." The guard bowed and promised, Withdrew.
Han Bing looked at Yelu Hanyu and frowned: "Sister Yelu, I think this matter is a bit unusual." Yelu Hanyu nodded and said: "Tubo sent us Yanyun as an envoy with the intention of annexing Xixia. Xixia envoy The regiment obviously felt the danger, so they raided the mission, hoping to change the situation in one fell swoop by taking a risk. However, the development of the situation now seems to be completely contrary to our previous expectations!"
Han Bing frowned and said: "What exactly does Zambala want to do? Does he want to disobey their emperor's order?"
Yelu Hanyu frowned and said: "It seems that this Zambala is not simple! He is not a foolish and loyal minister, but a brave, resourceful and responsible talent. Maybe he will really carry them behind his back. What unexpected thing did the emperor do!" Liang Hongyu said in disbelief: "Can Xixia and Tubo still form an alliance?" Yelu Hanyu said: "Tubo and Xixia have already formed a secret alliance, just because our Yanyun is too It was so powerful that the Tubo Emperor temporarily changed his decision." After a pause, "If Zambala stands in the way between us and the Tubo Emperor and fabricates rumors, I'm afraid he will really change the situation!"
Han Bing said harshly: "Since he wants to cause trouble, then kill him!" Yelu Hanyu looked thoughtful and said, "It's best to find out the situation first." Han Bing nodded.
In the next two days, Han Bing received the envoys from the two countries respectively. Contrary to Han Bing and Yelu Hanyu's expectations, the envoys from the two countries behaved in the same way. However, just in the evening after Han Bing received the two of them, the secret guard responsible for monitoring the envoys from the two countries came to report that the envoys from the two countries had met secretly again. The two had a long conversation, and it was not clear what they talked about. . The two women felt that they must have reached some kind of agreement, but what exactly they had reached was completely unclear.
Soon after, the envoys from the two countries said goodbye one after another. The two sides originally shared a long distance, but they deliberately walked in tandem and did not walk together. This was obviously for the eyes of Yan Yun's escorting officers and soldiers.
A few days later, the Tibetan delegation entered Qinfeng Road. On this day, the envoys were escorted by hundreds of Yanyun officers and soldiers and headed west along the Weishui River. It was noon at this time, and the scorching sunshine was shining on the earth. The whole earth was bright, but everyone felt very hot and unbearable.
Zambara saw a mulberry forest by the river in front of him from a distance. He couldn't help but feel happy. He pointed at the mulberry forest with his riding crop and said, "Let's rest in the forest in front of us and wait for this scorching sun to pass before we continue our journey." !" Officer Yan Yun, who was responsible for protecting them, had an indifferent attitude.
The group of people quickened their pace and rushed towards the woods. Arriving in the woods, the fiery sunlight instantly turned into specks of light, and the bright light suddenly dimmed. A gust of wind suddenly blew in front of us, shaking the branches and leaves and rustling. Everyone felt extremely cool, which was originally wrapped around their bodies. The heat that makes people very irritable disappears when the cool breeze blows, and it feels so comfortable.
Everyone sat down to rest, took out dry food and water to eat and drink. Soon after, the woods became quiet again, and everyone fell asleep unconsciously.
ah! A scream suddenly appeared, breaking the silence in the woods. Zambara and others woke up one after another. Then they saw many men in black fighting with the Yanyun Army who was guarding them. Although the Yanyun Army was larger in number, it was not hostile to the opponent. , the army was defeated like a mountain. Zambara and others were shocked when they suddenly saw such a scene. They couldn't figure out what happened for a while. At this moment, the officer Yan Yun who was responsible for protecting them was seen fighting with others while turning his head and shouting loudly: "Run quickly, they are Xixia people!"
Everyone was so shocked that they turned around and ran for their lives without even thinking about it. The sounds of fighting and screams came from behind and gradually faded away. Zambala couldn't help but feel guilty. He felt that thanks to Yan Yun's army for saving him at the critical moment, he was doing things that were not good for Yan Yun behind his back. Little hands and feet. Then I thought of the Xixia people, and I couldn't help but feel very annoyed. I turned my head and glanced, suddenly my heart moved, and I thought to myself: Are they really Xixia people?
At this moment, the rapid sound of horse hooves suddenly came, and someone shouted loudly: "Xixia people! Xixia people!" Zambala looked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves, and saw nearly a hundred black knights waving their hands. The long knife roared. Zambara stared at them with wide eyes, trying to tell whether they were Xixia people, but the other party was covered in black, and there was nothing special about the cavalry swords, so it was impossible to tell. However, looking at their appearance, they seemed to resemble There are more Han people than Dangxiang people. However, if the Dangxiang people are really attacking, it is normal for them to be worried about being recognized and disguise themselves as Han people. Zambara frowned and murmured: "Is he really a party member? What the hell is Li Tianhao doing? Haven't we already reached a secret agreement? Why did he come to kill me? Doesn't he believe me?"
While he was thinking wildly, the followers and guards had already embraced him and fled towards the west. But how can two legs escape four legs? In the blink of an eye, Zambara and others were caught up by the black knight. I saw the knights in black rushing into the middle of the Tubo mission like a whirlwind, killing the Tibetan mission until their corpses were covered in blood. Although everyone in the Tubo mission tried hard to resist, they seemed to have no resistance. Zambara and the others were horrified. , I don’t understand how there are such tough and sharp warriors among the Xixia people? You must know that the guards of the mission are all warriors selected from thousands of times, but they have no ability to resist the opponent's iron hoof and long sword.
Zambara was so smart. He suddenly thought of a possibility, and his expression suddenly changed.
I saw several knights in black rushing towards me, and several guards around Zambara immediately rushed to meet them. The knight in black rushed through the guards and saw a few heads flying into the sky. Zambala was a civil servant and could not fight with others. He quickly turned around and ran away. Several knights in black caught up with him. Without any explanation, several long knives fell down at the same time. Two of them hit Zambala's back, and the other one flew away. Zambala's head, Zambala didn't even have time to hum before he was dismembered and died. When everyone in the mission saw Zambala being killed, they were shocked and ran in all directions. While running, they heard a man in black shouting in Party language: "The target is dead, retreat!" Then they saw those terrifying black-clothed men. The knight left quickly, and after a while he climbed over a hill in the distance and disappeared.
Everyone in the Tubo delegation had just recovered from their shock when they saw many men in black running out of the woods and running towards the direction where the knight in black left. Then they saw Yan Yun, the soldier responsible for protecting them, running out of the woods and running towards them.
The two sides met together and immediately found Zambara's body. The people in Tubo looked at the bloody corpse in front of them, filled with grief and anger, and hated the treacherous Xixia people to the extreme. Officer Yan Yun said: "This is a wilderness and it is not suitable to stay for a long time. Let's quickly go to Longxi. There is the main force of our army there. It will be safe when we get there." Everyone thought that those hateful and terrifying Xixia people might appear again at any time, and they couldn't help but think that those hateful and terrifying Xixia people might appear again at any time. With panic in his heart, he quickly packed up Zambala's body, ignored the others, and followed Yan Yun's army towards Longxi.
…
Turning their attention to Yanjing, Yang Peng and his party rushed to Yanjing City, went straight to the old Prince Yan's Mansion, and settled down. After receiving the news, Yang Jiumei, who was left behind in Yanjing, hurried to the palace hall to meet Yang Peng. Yang Peng and Yang Jiumei had been separated for a long time. When they met, they couldn't help but be very excited. Under their entangled eyes, they could only see the lingering affection.
"Jiu Mei, thank you for your hard work!" Yang Peng said softly. Yang Jiumei's heart skipped a beat, and she felt that with his words, the fatigue of many days was nothing. Ye Qi Guanyin looked at Yang Jiumei and then at Yang Peng, and smiled coldly.
"Jiu Mei, sit down and talk." Yang Peng said. Yang Jiumei walked to the left corner and sat down. Then he took out a letter from his arms, stood up again, walked to Yang Peng, presented it with both hands, and said: "This is the intelligence I just received from Zhongjing of Liao Kingdom. I originally planned to forward it immediately, but instead I didn’t expect that King Yan has already arrived.”
Yang Peng reached out to receive the letter, and their fingers touched inadvertently. A strange feeling came to both of them, and they couldn't help but feel their hearts tremble. Yang Peng received the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and read it. Seeing his eyebrows furrowed, Yang Jiumei and Ye Qi Guanyin thought that something bad must have happened. Ye Qi Guanyin was worried about the Liao Kingdom and couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what exactly did the letter say?"
Yang Peng said: "Not long ago, the Liao Kingdom assembled an army of 200,000 and marched north to reinforce Linhuang Mansion in Beijing. However, they were blocked by a sudden appearance of 100,000 Mongolian cavalry on the north bank of the Heihe River. The army was in chaos. At the same time, those who originally retreated were blocked. The 200,000 Mongolian war cavalry planes counterattacked fiercely from the front! The 200,000 Khitan troops were attacked from the north and south by the 300,000 Mongolian troops, and the entire army was wiped out. It is said that the Heihe River was littered with corpses, and the Heihe River was blocked by mountains of corpses."
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
