What Brother Weiming Xiu said left Li Dingkun speechless. Li Fenglong also said: "What General Weiming said is absolutely true. We must put the overall situation first and not cause chaos ourselves!" Only Li Fenglong agreed with Brother Weiming, The other generals were all silent, with somewhat unpredictable expressions on their faces. It was very quiet in the big tent, and the atmosphere was a bit strange and uneasy.
Li Dingkun suddenly smiled and said: "Why are you so nervous, General? I am just discussing some current issues with the General. What the General said is really serious!" When he said this, he was originally nervous. The atmosphere immediately relaxed, and all the generals couldn't help laughing. Brother Wei Mingxiu said with a smile: "It turns out that the general is just discussing issues with us, but I am too worried!"
Li Dingkun said: "I was quite uneasy at first, but after hearing what General Li said, all my worries disappeared! General Li knows the Regent. Since General Li believes in the Regent so much, , I naturally believe it too!" He picked up the wine glass and said loudly: "Come, come, let's drink this cup together, I wish we can defeat Yan Yun and revive Daxia!" All the generals picked up the wine glasses and shouted loudly He said: "Defeat Yanyun and revive Daxia!" Then he drank a glass of wine with Li Dingkun. …
After the banquet, a trusted officer rushed into the tent, bowed to Li Dingkun and said: "General, my subordinates have bribed the guarding officers according to the general's instructions." Li Dingkun said: "Very good, we will act as planned tonight. !""yes!"……
It was late at night, and as the regent, Odaochong was still sitting in the study, looking at the reports that had just been sent today, which were all daily military and political reports about various parts of Xixia. There are military intelligence reports from Guazhou and Shazhou, saying that a force calling itself Daliao defeated the Xizhou Uighurs and occupied the entire Western Region; there is a military intelligence report from the Yan Army Division in Heishui Town, saying that the Liao Kingdom Taking advantage of the civil war in the inner Mongolia, the army defeated two of the five Mongolian tribes in one go, and is now making great progress. The situation is very favorable to the Liao Kingdom. There are civil affairs reports from Xuanhua Prefecture and Suzhou, saying that a bumper harvest in the local grain fields is expected, and the livestock industry The situation is much better than expected at the beginning of the year...
After reading these reports, Ao Daochong couldn't help but feel very pleased. He felt that after God had brought countless disasters to Daxia, he finally began to bring blessings. Grain harvests in various places were imminent and animal husbandry was booming, so the plan he had made would be complete. It can be achieved. Now that God has sent blessings, he may continue to send blessings, so that Daxia will finally defeat Yan Yun's plot to annex Daxia. As soon as he thought of this, the haze that was originally suppressed in Ondaochong's heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
Suddenly, the military report about the Liao Kingdom and the Mongols caught Aodaochong's attention. Ao Daochong picked it up and looked at it, with a thoughtful look on his face, then revealed a smile and murmured: "By the way, we can still do this! We surrender to the Khitan people and rely on the Khitan people to deal with Yan Yun! The Khitan people They have no desire to devour my Daxia, at least not yet, but Yan Yun is different, they want to destroy my Daxia!"
After Odao Chongyan thought about this, he immediately called the guards and ordered him to summon his confidant Ye Lirong. A moment later, Ye Lirong hurried to the regent's study and met with Aodaochong. Ao Daochong stood up and walked to Ye Lirong and explained it carefully. Ye Lirong first showed a look of surprise, then showed a look of admiration, and finally bowed to accept the promise and hurried away.
Odao rushed out of the study and looked at the night sky with brilliant stars and moon. He felt cheerful in his heart, and the dark clouds for many days seemed to have disappeared.
An officer suddenly ran in from outside, rushed to Aodaochong, knelt down and reported: "Your Majesty, the Tibetan envoy killed the guards and escaped!" Aodaochong frowned and asked angrily: "How could that be? Did something like this happen?" The officer murmured: "This, this, my subordinates don't know!" Odaochong felt that the Tibetan envoy's escape would not have any impact on the current situation, so he did not take the matter seriously and said: "Okay, I understand. You go and bury the sergeants who died, and deal with them as if they were killed in battle." The officer agreed and hurried away.
Ao Daochong was originally in a good mood, but was disturbed by this incident. He muttered: "Damn the Tubo people!" Then he thought of Li Tianhao, who had not heard back from his mission to Tianjing New City, and couldn't help but frown. He frowned. What he was most worried about now was the attitude of King Yan Yang Peng. Now everything can be said to be under control. It all depends on Yang Peng's attitude. As long as Yang Peng believes that his side will surrender and not attack. If so, then the overall situation will be under control. Although Ao Daochong felt that his false surrender would definitely deceive King Yang Peng of Yan, he was still uneasy until the result came out.
At this time, it was getting very late, but Odaochong had something on his mind and was not sleepy at all. Returning to the study, he sat down and continued to read official documents.
Early the next morning, Aodaochong went to inspect various city gates as usual. Just as Aodao rushed to the east city gate for inspection, he suddenly saw a fast horse galloping over the fields in the distance outside the city. O Daochong and others couldn't help but stop and look around. They saw a fast horse galloping towards them, but they couldn't see the face of the person clearly. After a while, the sound of horse hooves gradually became clearer, and the knight on the horse could be seen clearly. He was a knight in party uniform. Ao Daochong's heart moved and he couldn't help but become nervous.
Soon after, the knight galloped to the city gate, jerked the reins of his horse, and the horse neighed and he stood up. Then the knight took out a token, raised it high, and said in a loud voice: "I am the messenger sent back by Mr. Li Tianhao. Open the city gate quickly!" The city gate opened immediately, and the messenger rushed in. As soon as he entered, the city gate opened. The captain stopped him, pointed to the city gate tower above his head and said: "The king is on the city gate tower." The messenger immediately got off his horse and ran towards the city gate tower.
He ran to the city gate tower and saw Aodaochong. He quickly bowed: "I pay my respects to the regent!"
Odaochong said urgently: "What's the situation? Tell me quickly!"
The messenger said: "Reply to your Majesty, when we arrived at Tianjing New City, King Yan Yang Peng had been seriously ill and bedridden for more than ten days..." The great minister said happily: "He is bedridden? Haha, that's really true. God has eyes! If he dies just like that, that would be very satisfying!" Then he asked: "How is his condition? Is he about to die?"
The messenger said: "This is not clear. However, according to Mr. Li Tianhao's speculation, although King Yan's condition is serious, his life should not be in danger."
Ao Daochong nodded and said: "Li Tianhao is thoughtful and resourceful. Since he made this judgment, he must be right. Oh, what a pity!" He glanced at the messenger, frowned and asked: "Since Yang Peng is ill Bed, then who met you?" The messenger said: "They are the two princesses of King Yan, one is named Han Bing and the other is named Yelu Hanyu." Odaochong nodded and said: "I heard from these two women I have said that they are the two most courageous princesses in the harem of King Yan. Yang Peng often sent them to Bianliang when he was away on war. Yang Peng asked them to come to meet Li Tianhao, which shows that he attaches great importance to our surrender!" Then he asked : "What's the other party's attitude? Is everything going well?"
The messenger smiled and said: "Things went very smoothly! The other party was very happy about our surrender, and discussed the specific matters of surrender in detail with Mr. Li Tianhao." Then he took out a letter from his arms, held it up with both hands, and said, "This It is the surrender matters that Mr. Li Tianhao has agreed upon with the other party to plan, and I would like your Majesty to take a look at it." O Daochong quickly picked up the letter, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper, unfolded it and read it. There was a mocking smile on his face.
The messenger said: "The envoy from Yanyun and Lord Li Tianhao have already set off. Due to the large team and many gifts, it may take several months to arrive at Xiliang Mansion."
Odaochong chuckled and said, "Take your time, don't be in a hurry, the later they come, the better!"
Aodao rushed back to the palace and immediately summoned the generals to tell him what had happened to Yan Yun. The generals were overjoyed. Brother Wei Mingxiu couldn't help but admired: "The king is so clever and clever, even the legendary Zhuge Liang is nothing like this!" Many generals agreed. Ao Daochong stretched out his right hand and grabbed it in the air, and said excitedly: "Everything is in my king's plan! Hum, they all say how cunning Yang Peng is, I think he is nothing more than that, and he is not being played by me. Above!" All the generals praised him one after another, and everyone seemed to admire him very much.
A herald rushed in and knelt down to report: "Your Majesty, the 150,000 Yanyun army has left Zhuoluo City, entered the snowy mountains, and is confronting the Tibetan army on the snowy mountains.
Aodaochong laughed loudly and said sarcastically: "The Yanyun people thought that we were going to surrender, so they had no worries, so they went to fight the Tubo people to death! Okay, okay, let them fight. It's best to fight until there are corpses everywhere. Both sides suffer!" The generals laughed.
The sun has set in the west and it is already evening. In the past, Ao Daochong would come to the four gates every time at this time, but today Ao Daochong did not come. Now the overall situation is under his control. Yan Yunjun went to fight the Tubo people desperately, and he had nothing to do. I'm so worried. I've been tired and nervous for such a long time, and I can finally rest.
News that the Yanyun Army and the Tubo people were fighting spread throughout the streets and alleys of Xiliang Mansion. The originally panicked people finally showed their long-lost smiles, and everyone felt as if the war was far away from them.
A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and Xiliang Mansion had returned to its former bustle. In the taverns and teahouses, people were telling legendary stories. The protagonist of the story was Odaochong, saying that he was as clever and strategizing as Zhuge Liang. The decisive victory was thousands of miles away, and with just a flick of the feather fan, the powerful enemy was wiped out. The speaker was foaming at the mouth, and the listener was enjoying it. Aodaochong has become the new idol in the hearts of the party members.
That night, Aodaochong, who was no longer worried, was drinking and chatting with his two concubines in the back garden. After a few cups of yellow soup, he became obsessed with his beauty.
Bang bang bang bang! Bang bang bang bang! The door suddenly rang loudly. Ao Daochong, who was in high spirits, was startled. Then he became very angry and yelled: "What the hell? Get out of here!"
Bang bang bang bang! Bang bang bang bang! The door of the room actually rang loudly again. Aodaochong was very angry, and then he felt that something serious must have happened, otherwise how could his subordinates be so ignorant. As soon as he thought of this, he comforted the two beautiful concubines with kind words, got off the bed, put on his clothes, pants and robe. During this process, the door kept ringing, as if to remind him.
Aodao rushed to the door, opened the door, and said angrily: "What's going on?" He saw the guard captain standing at the door, looking panicked, as if he had seen a ghost. Seeing the mediator rushing out, the captain of the guard said anxiously: "Oh no, King, come out, something big happened!..." At this point, he couldn't catch a breath, swallowed his saliva, and continued: "They, they Rebellion!" Aodaochong was stunned, not understanding what he meant.
At this moment, a fierce roar suddenly came from the street outside, and then a fierce fighting sound came from the direction of the palace gate, and then there was a loud noise, as if the door was slammed open. O Daochong was still confused and couldn't figure out what happened, but the guard captain said with a pale face: "No, it's bad, they came in!" Then he grabbed O Daochong's arm and said, He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, run away with me quickly! Otherwise it will be too late!" He said, regardless of whether Ao Daochong was happy or not, he dragged Ao Daochong towards the back door, with more than a dozen guards guarding him.
Ao Daochong couldn't help but follow the guards and ran toward the back door. He heard terrifying murderous cries pouring from the gate to the patio, from the patio into the hall, and from the hall into the backyard. After all, Ao Daochong was a resourceful person. He had already guessed something and asked the captain of the guard: "Who is it? Who dared to rebel because of his ambition?" The captain of the guard said: "It's General Li Dingkun!..."
Ao Daochong showed a look of shock. He was not afraid of other people's rebellion. However, it was very bad for Li Dingkun to rebel. As the iron kite general, he had a very high status, and the five thousand iron soldiers under his command were very high. The kites are even more elite in the army. Although they are not the largest in number, they are extremely powerful. Even if this rebellion is suppressed, they will have to pay a heavy price! Ao Daochong thought that he had finally achieved this situation, and Li Dingkun's rebellion was about to ruin all his previous efforts, and he couldn't help but feel extremely angry.
The captain of the guard added: "There are also General Yeli Yuqi and General Erpang!"
After hearing this, Aodaochong's anger instantly turned into horror. Among the 50,000 troops currently in Xiliang Mansion, more than half are the defeated troops brought down from the east by Yeli Yuqi and Epan. These two people also rebelled together. It can be said that the situation is over. Ao Daochong's mind was in chaos, and he didn't know what to do for a moment. He originally planned to go to the military camp to mobilize troops and come back to quell the rebellion, but now it seems that this will definitely not work.
A group of people rushed out of the back door. The alley outside the back door was very quiet, and not a single person was seen. Everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, the sound of killings in the palace shook the sky, the shouts shook the earth, and there was a commotion.
A group of people hurried towards the entrance of the alley.
Suddenly, countless fires appeared in front. Everyone was shocked and quickly stopped and took a closer look. They saw countless sergeants standing under the firelight. The leading general was Epon. Epangao sat on the horse, laughed loudly, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, you can't run away, surrender quickly! The general will never hurt you!" Aodao rushed to a group of people and quickly turned around and ran. Go, but countless rebels also appeared in the rear and blocked the other end of the alley. Aodaochong and others were desperate. At this time, more than a dozen of their own people had become turtles in the jar.
Li Dingkun sat in Ao Daochong's seat and burst into laughter. All the generals worshiped together: "See the Regent!" Li Dingkun said proudly, "If you help this general achieve this great feat, I will definitely be rewarded heavily!" The generals were overjoyed.
At this moment, several people poured in from the door, but it was Epon who rushed in with the embarrassed mediator. Li Dingkun stood up, walked to Ao Daochong, and asked very proudly: "Your Majesty, are you unexpected?"
Ao Daochong glanced at the proud Li Dingkun and said bitterly: "I hate it so much! We failed for Shan Jiuren! I, the Great Xia, was originally looking forward to Zhongxing, but a rebellious minister and traitor like you came out, completely ruining the success of Zhongxing in the Great Xia. Hope!" Speaking of hatred, he wanted to pounce on Li Dingkun and bite Li Dingkun, but he was pulled by two rebel soldiers by his arms and couldn't move at all.
Li Dingkun sneered and said angrily: "Don't talk about yourself as if you are the savior of our party people! You are not! If it weren't for you, Xingqing Mansion wouldn't have thrown it away! As for Zhongxing Daxia, you kind of It's ridiculous to be able to revive Daxia by acting like a coward! I have a different approach than you. I will wait until Yanyun and the Tubo people are fighting inextricably, then send troops to attack the flank of Yanyun's army, and fight with the Tubo people. The two armies attacked each other and annihilated Yan Yun's army in one go! Then he sent his army eastward, captured Xingqing Mansion, returned to the old territory of Daxia, and then crossed the Yellow River and marched straight into the Central Plains, achieving immortal achievements for all eternity!"
Aodaochong was anxious and angry. He suddenly remembered something and said, "The Tibetan envoys killed the guards and escaped. I'm afraid it wasn't them who did it, but you who let them go!"
Li Dingkun showed surprise and nodded: "Not bad!" He glanced at Aodaochong and said semi-sarcastically: "You are so smart, you actually guessed this!" Li Dingkun snorted and said: "You passed The Tubo envoy has colluded with the Tubo people! I didn't expect that, I really underestimated you. I originally thought you were just a warrior, but I didn't expect you to be so deep in the city! What kind of alliance did you and the Tubo form?" This last sentence The tone of the question was full of questioning, not like a prisoner.
Li Dingkun was about to reveal all his plans and show off, but he didn't care about O Daochong's tone and said with a smile: "In fact, now is a great opportunity to turn defeat into victory! As long as we annihilate the 150,000 swallows in front of us, The Yun army and Yanyun army are short of food and grass, so our army can take this opportunity to regain the old territory! The Tubo people and I have made an agreement. After we annihilate the 150,000 Yanyun army, we will march eastward. Our army will attack Hetao. , the Tubo army is attacking Shaanxi and Gansu! The Yanyun army must have been caught off guard, and our army has a great chance of winning!"
Ao Daochong sneered repeatedly, shook his head, glanced at Li Dingkun, and said contemptuously: "You underestimate King Yan and Yan Yunjun too much. It is impossible to achieve your goal by talking on paper like this!"
Li Dingkun was furious and said coldly: "After listening to your words, I really doubt whether you have taken refuge in Yang Peng! No matter how powerful Yang Peng is, he is still a human being, and he is not invincible. Besides, he is ill. The bed is difficult to control, and Yanyun is leaderless. This is a great opportunity for us to defeat Yanyun and regain the rivers and mountains!" Then he said proudly: "The reason why Yanyun's army won successively before was just due to tricks. Now we are the ones who are responsible for the tricks. But the Yanyun side was caught off guard, and our army has no reason to be invincible!" Epon echoed: "What the general said is absolutely true! This time, we have a sure chance of victory in Daxia!"
O Daochong sneered: "Even if you can succeed, it is just a rebellion against superiors!" Li Dingkun said: "You are the one who committed rebellion, not me, Li Dingkun!" Then he took out a copy of the imperial edict, raised it high, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, has passed down a sacred order, ordering this general to lead the army to exterminate the rebellious Ondaochong who has caused rebellion! This general is acting according to the order, and I will take advantage of you as a traitor!" Onodaochong was shocked and said in disbelief: "Why? ,How can it be!"
Li Dingkun said proudly: "The Queen Mother personally handed over the imperial edict to me. Could it be fake?" When Li Dingkun said the word 'Queen Mother', there was an ambiguity in his eyes. Ao Daochong saw Li Dingkun's expression, and suddenly thought of a message that had been circulated not long ago. Everything suddenly became clear to him, and he secretly cursed him as a slut.
Ye Li Yuqi ran in, saluted Li Dingkun and said: "General, the rebels led by Brother Weimingxiu and Li Fenglong have been defeated. Li Fenglong committed suicide out of fear of crime, and Brother Weimingxiu escaped." Li Dingkun nodded, "Okay! The important task is finally completed, and we have finally lived up to the great trust of the Queen Mother and Her Majesty!" He turned to look at Ao Daochong and asked proudly, "How should I deal with you?" Ao Daochong snorted, "Prince Chengze Defeat is a thief, kill me!"
Li Dingkun said: "You are also a rare talent. As long as you are willing to admit your sins, I can put in a few good words for you in front of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother is kind and will definitely forgive your past sins!"
Already prepared to die, Ao Daochong took the risk, glanced at Li Dingkun, and said mockingly: "I'm afraid the general said this to the Queen Mother on her bed!" Li Dingkun was shocked, and everyone else was shocked. His heart moved and he looked strange. Li Dingkun became angry and cursed: "You immortal thing! You are really shameless! Since you want to die, this general will make it happen for you! Come on!" Even then two soldiers stepped forward and agreed. Li Dingkun pointed at Odao and shouted: "Drag this old guy down and execute him in Lingchi!!" Odao was shocked. Although he was determined to die, he did not expect that the other party would use such a cruel method to deal with him. He was shocked and angry. It came to my mind and I couldn't help but curse.
At this moment, a huge sound of fighting and roaring suddenly came from the direction of the south city gate. Li Dingkun and others were stunned when they suddenly heard this voice.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
