In fact, it was not just Yang Jing. Everyone present, even Yeqi Guanyin who knew Yang Peng best, did not regard Yang Peng's joke as nonsense. Yang Peng may not realize at this moment that what he said now is very influential in the eyes of everyone in the world. No one will regard what Yang Peng said as a joke. The ancients said, "You have no joke." This sentence is not nonsense.
Yang Peng asked Yedi Guanyin: "Guanyin, has there been any military information since I left?" Yedi Guanyin shook his head and said: "No, there is no military information from all aspects."
Yang Peng hummed, showing a thoughtful look. Everyone looked at Yang Peng. Yang Peng thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "Although we have reversed the situation to a certain extent, the situation is still not good for us! The Japanese army has invaded Huaibei and Hebei, while the Xiliao and Tubo coalition forces have invaded the Hexi Corridor, and The enemy we face is still stronger than us, and it will not be easy for us to win the final victory in this war!" Everyone's expressions also became solemn.
Yang Peng stood up, walked to the middle of the hall, looked at the night outside the door and said calmly: "If you want to win a huge victory, you must make huge sacrifices! A powerful empire never appears out of thin air, let alone the writings of literati. What was sketched out was sacrificed with the blood and lives of countless warriors! When enough sacrifices are made, a powerful empire will naturally rise from the sea of blood and corpses!" After hearing these words, everyone couldn't help but feel excited. . Yang Peng glanced at the crowd and said: "All of us, from the bottom up, must be prepared to sacrifice and swear to fight the enemy to the death!" Everyone couldn't help but shouted in unison: "Swear to fight the enemy to the death!"
Yang Peng smiled and said: "The final victory must belong to us!" Everyone didn't know why. After hearing Yang Peng's words and seeing Yang Peng's smiling expression, the worries in their hearts disappeared and were replaced by incomparable confidence and firm belief. Under the leadership of King Yan, we will be able to defeat any enemy and crush any difficulties and obstacles.
Yang Peng returned to his head and sat down, glanced at everyone, and said: "To cope with the various difficult situations that will follow, you must have a good rest first. You all go down and rest." Everyone agreed and exited the hall. Only Ye Qi Guanyin and Yang Jiumei did not leave.
Ye Qi Guanyin looked at Yang Peng and saw that Yang Peng still looked calm. He asked curiously: "Brother, are you not worried at all?" Yang Peng laughed and said: "Worrying is nothing! Since If it’s useless, then don’t worry!”
The eyes of Ye Qi Guanyin and Yang Jiumei showed great admiration. Ye Qi Guanyin said in admiration: "Brother, you are so amazing. Even a great hero like Taizu Emperor Taizong of the Liao Kingdom cannot do this!" Yang Jiumei nodded with deep sympathy and praised: "It is easy to say that Mount Tai collapses but remains unchanged. In fact, how many people have been able to do it in the past and present? King Yan was not afraid at all when facing such a dangerous situation. Even the legendary Tang Zong and Song Zu are inferior by three points!" Yang Peng said half-jokingly: "Maybe I am so scared that I no longer know how to be afraid!" The two women smiled and gave Yang Peng a white look. Qi Guanyin said angrily: "You look so careless, how can you be afraid?" Yang Peng laughed.
After laughing, he looked serious and said: "If you say you are not afraid or nervous, you are absolutely lying! The current situation is still very unfavorable for our army! Hexi Corridor, Hebei, Huaibei, as well as us here, and Cao Jun Over there, any mistakes in any direction will have fatal consequences for us, Yan Yun!"
The two goddesses nodded solemnly, and Ye Qi Guanyin said: "Don't forget the Song people! Under this situation, the Song people will most likely take action! If they also get involved, our situation will be even worse. Difficult!" Yang Peng and Yang Jiumei nodded. Yang Jiumei said happily: "Fortunately, King Yan thought of a way to buy grain from Jiangnan, otherwise our current situation would be even worse!" Then his heart moved and he looked at the two The man said very puzzledly: "There is something very strange!" The two of them looked at her.
Yang Jiumei continued: "According to the news we recently received from Yangzhou, the grain buying operation in Jiangnan is still going on smoothly. Why didn't the Song Dynasty court stop it?"
Yang Peng said with a smile: "Jiangnan has had three consecutive harvests, and private and official warehouses in various places are piled up. Although our purchase scale is large, it is not enough to cause major fluctuations in grain prices, so it is not easy to attract attention; and the purchase of grain and grass The action was carried out by Zhang Ping and his wife relying on government-run industries. It would be difficult for the court to find out the inside story." He smiled and said, "Another point is that even if some official personnel find out and come down to investigate, they will not be able to find out the details once they have collected our information. If you pay bribes, nothing will be reported to the authorities. So it is not surprising that the court has not taken any action so far."
Yang Jiumei smiled and said: "I didn't expect that these corrupt officials are quite useful!" Yang Peng laughed loudly and said: "Of course corrupt officials are useful! But they are only useful to others. If they are under our hands , that would be very bad!" The two women couldn't help but smile. Thinking of the current war, Ye Qi Guanyin frowned and asked Yang Peng, "Brother, have you thought of any countermeasures?"
Yang Peng shook his head and said: "Not yet!" Then he stretched out a lot, "I'm exhausted, let's have a good sleep first!" The two women looked at each other, and couldn't help but admire him, and thought to themselves: You are actually doing this at this time Can you still sleep? !
Yang Peng stood up and said to the two women: "You should also rest early." After saying that, he turned around behind the screen and left the hall. Ye Qi Guanyin and Yang Jiumei looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Ye Qi Guanyin said: "I can't sleep. I will go to the four gates to inspect." Yang Jiumei said: "I will go to the rescue home to take a look." The two women left. In the hall, after leaving the door, they said goodbye to each other and left separately.
Yang Jiumei came to the ambulance. At this time, the ambulance was still very busy. Thousands of wounded soldiers were lying here, and many doctors and medical officers were treating their injuries. Countless women were busy washing bandages and clothes. Very happy. One figure in the crowd caught people's attention. She was a stunningly beautiful woman. She was not an ordinary person, but Fang Jinzhi, the saint of the Ming sect. Fang Jinzhi was comforting the wounded soldiers. When the wounded soldiers saw her, they would always express admiration and piety, just like devout Buddhists seeing Guanyin Bodhisattva. Now in Yanyun, Fang Jinzhi's status in the hearts of soldiers and civilians is indeed very similar to that of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Many people regard her as Guanyin Bodhisattva and worship her devoutly. Under the deliberate promotion of Yanyun officials, Mingjiao has now become the state religion of Yanyun. Almost 80% of the people in Yanyun believe in Mingjiao. Yang Peng is not only the ruler of Yanyun, but also the leader of the people of Yanyun.
The teachings of Mingjiao have been greatly modified under Yang Peng's instructions. In fact, very few of the original teachings of Mingjiao are left, and a considerable amount of Taoist, military and legalist ideas have been added. Some of the outstanding ideas of Confucianism have also been added. was included, but those self-righteous and ridiculous thoughts of benevolence and righteousness were all eliminated.
Fang Jinzhi walked to a wounded soldier. The wounded soldier wanted to get up and salute, but Fang Jinzhi stopped him. Fang Jinzhi sat down, took the medicine bowl from the medical officer's hand, and personally gave medicine to the wounded soldier. The wounded soldier was extremely moved and felt that even dying on the battlefield was worth it. Tears could not help but burst out from his eyes.
Fang Jinzhi finished feeding him the medicine and asked with a smile: "Does the wound hurt?" The soldier quickly shook his head: "No, it doesn't hurt!" Fang Jinzhi said softly: "You are injured for the leader and for the light. This is the supreme honor. !" The soldier looked very excited and nodded heavily.
Fang Jinzhi smiled and said: "Take good care of your injuries! You are the leader's most loyal and brave soldier, and there are still many great things waiting for you!" The soldier was filled with an incomparable impulse, and just wanted to go immediately to save Yang Peng, and this gentle and beautiful woman in front of him. The saint died in battle!
Fang Jinzhi stood up and saw Yang Jiumei walking over, so she went up to her and bowed Yingying: "I have met the princess!" Yang Jiumei quickly returned the salute and said half-jokingly: "I don't dare to be a saint's gift!" Fang Jinzhi Smile sweetly. Yang Jiumei glanced at the scene and asked, "Is there anything you need my help with?" Fang Jinzhi shook his head, nodded to Yang Jiumei and said, "Thank you, Princess, but there is nothing I need help with here!"
The two walked into a deserted small courtyard side by side. Yang Jiumei said: "Prince Yan is very grateful to the saint for everything he has done!" Fang Jinzhi smiled and said: "Prince Yan does not need to be grateful to me. Prince Yan is the leader, and I will do my best for the leader. It's just a branch office! Fortunately, I can help a little!" Yang Jiumei smiled and said: "That's not a little help! If the saint hadn't stabilized people's hearts, I really didn't know that Xiao Yu and Duan Yao were causing trouble. How much trouble will be caused! King Yan often asks you, when will you go to see King Yan?"
Fang Jinzhi smiled calmly and said: "Let's wait until this war is over. King Yan must be very busy now, so I'd better not disturb him." Yang Jiumei said angrily: "He's not busy! You don't know, he I've fallen asleep now!" Fang Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly and said: "King Yan is indeed very human, and he can still sleep at this time!" Yang Jiumei nodded with deep understanding, "Who said otherwise! "Then he frowned, showing a deep look of worry.
Fang Jinzhi saw Yang Jiumei's expression and asked, "Is the princess worried about the current war?"
Yang Jiumei frowned and nodded, sighed, raised her head, looked at the stars in the night sky, and said worriedly: "Although our army has won two battles in a row, the overall situation has not changed!" She looked back and looked towards Fang Jinzhi said: "Not only is the situation in Yanjing still unfavorable to our army, but judging from the situation in the world, it is also very unfavorable to our army!" Fang Jinzhi said: "I heard that the Japanese were fighting fiercely in Huaibei, Hebei. I also heard that Tubo and Xiliao have invaded the Hexi Corridor?"
Yang Jiumei frowned and nodded, and said, "Not only that, I'm worried that the Song Kingdom in the south will most likely send troops as well!" Fang Jinzhi nodded, looking very calm. Yang Jiumei asked in confusion: "Aren't you worried at all?" Fang Jinzhi smiled, as if the moonlight was shining on the water waves, and Yang Jiumei, who was also a woman, couldn't help but feel absent-minded. Fang Jinzhi said: "I don't have the ability to care about these things. It's useless to worry to death, so why worry about it!" Yang Jiumei smiled and said: "What you said sounds familiar to me. King Yan often said something like this words." Fang Jinzhi smiled, lowered his head, stretched out his hand to smooth the hair on the temples, and said: "Although I don't understand military and political affairs, I believe that no difficulty can be difficult for King Yan! I think, in front of me, A critical situation is like dark clouds and heavy rain, but King Yan is the sun, and the sunshine will always penetrate the dark clouds!"
After hearing these words, Yang Jiumei couldn't help but dissipate a lot of the haze in her heart, and said with a smile: "My mood has improved a lot after hearing what you said!"
Fang Jinzhi smiled and said: "The sharp edge of the sword is sharpened. King Yan will eventually become a great king who rules the world. How can it be possible without going through hardships and dangers!" Yang Jiumei nodded with deep understanding.
Fang Jinzhi remembered something and asked: "I heard that there was a great victory tonight and 50,000 to 60,000 Khitan troops were wiped out. What happened?" Yang Jiumei smiled and said, "Yeqi Hucheng pretended to lead the army. When he went to raid Juyongguan, he actually set up an ambush circle halfway, waiting for our army to enter the ambush circle so that he could encircle and annihilate him in one fell swoop! However, his attempt was seen by King Yan, so King Yan used his plan and deliberately led the army after nightfall. The army left the city, but the army did not rush to support Juyong Pass as Yeqi Hucheng wanted. Instead, it was divided into two parts. One part raided the Khitan army camp, and the other ambush between the Khitan army camp and Xiangshan Mountain. Yeqiu Hucheng had been lying in ambush in Xiangshan for a long time, waiting for our army to arrive, and then received an urgent report that the military camp was raided. Naturally, he was shocked, and then quickly led the army to leave Xiangshan and rush back to support, thus entering the ambush circle of our army. King Yan led The ambush troops rushed out from all directions, and Yeqihu City was caught off guard, and it was naturally defeated! Unfortunately it was night and the visibility was not good, otherwise, the Khitan army would have suffered more than the fifty or sixty thousand losses!"
Fang Jinzhi couldn't help but sigh: "The King of Yan is so clever and unpredictable!"
Yang Jiumei nodded with deep sympathy and said: "The King of Yan said that although there are only 10,000 defenders at Juyong Pass, with the dangerous location and cannons, there is no problem in defending it for ten days and a half. However, Yanjing's side is completely If you can send 20,000 cavalry to Juyong Pass to harass the Khitan army attacking the pass, it will be difficult for the Khitan army to hope to capture Juyong Pass. The Khitan army's attack there will not be of any use except to distract the energy, increase casualties and damage morale. Ye Qi The veteran general of Hucheng battlefield naturally saw this, but he still divided his troops to attack Juyongguan with great fanfare. He was a drunkard whose intention was not to drink, but to lure our army to reinforce. And the purpose of luring our army to reinforce was ninety-nine times out of ten. The reinforcements were to be ambushed halfway. King Yan deduced this result and made targeted arrangements, and then he used the trick to win another battle! "
Fang Jinzhi was filled with admiration and couldn't help but said: "If my father had half the bravery of King Yan, he wouldn't have been defeated!" The father Fang Jinzhi mentioned was naturally the leader of the Ming Cult who was defeated and killed.
Yeqihu City had been waiting anxiously for several days. Xiao Zuo, who had sneaked into the city, finally came back. He reported to Yeqihu City with excitement: "Your Majesty, there are indeed people in Yanjing who are against King Yan. Force, my subordinates have already contacted them!"
Ye Qian Hucheng was overjoyed and asked anxiously: "Who is the other party? Is it reliable?"
Xi Zuo said: "The other party's name is Duan Yang, and he is the younger brother of Duan Yao, the leader of the Yanjing rebellion." Ye Qian Hucheng frowned and asked: "Since he is Duan Yao's younger brother, why doesn't Yang Peng He arrested him? Is he really Duan Yao's biological brother?" Xizuo said: "This is absolutely certain! My subordinates have learned from the side that Duan Yang is indeed Duan Yao's biological brother. The reason why he was not arrested this time He was implicated because Duan Yang left the Duan family long ago and became a businessman. This time he did not participate in his father and brother's conspiracy, so he was not jailed for the time being. However, Duan Yang was terrified, and he was always afraid. He was worried that he would be doomed because of his father and brother's affairs, so he very much looked forward to our Daliao Army defeating the Yanyun Army as soon as possible and occupying Yanjing!"
Ye Qian Hucheng nodded and thought: "This is also human nature." Then he looked at Xizuo and asked: "Have you talked to this Duan Yang?" Xizuo nodded and said: "My subordinates and him We have already talked about it, and he is very willing to help our Daliao Army, but my subordinates dare not make the decision on this matter, so I did not discuss the details with him."
Ye Qian Hucheng asked: "How strong is this Duan Yang?" "Reporting to the king, he originally had hundreds of guardians and more than a hundred servants in his hands. In addition, he has gathered him in recent days. The number of people who were dispersed due to the uprising of my father and brother was probably close to a thousand."
Yeqianhu City was very happy and said: "With more than a thousand troops, if we act properly, we should be able to seize a city gate in one fell swoop!" Zheng Shilong was about to speak, but Han Chang was the first to say: "Your Majesty, with the help of this amazing army, We can definitely seize Yanjing City in one fell swoop!" Ye Qi Hucheng nodded in agreement. Han Chang continued: "This matter should be carried out as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams!" Zheng Shilong quickly agreed.
Ye Qian Hucheng thought for a moment, took off the dagger from his waist, walked to Xizuo, handed the dagger to him, and ordered: "Take my dagger and sneak into the city again, and tell Duan Yang that at midnight tomorrow, Attack the west city gate." Hosaku stretched out his hands, bowed to take the short sword, and made a promise. Ye Qian Hucheng said again: "Tell Duan Yang to find a way to prepare Yan Yun's military uniforms, approach the city gate in the name of patrol, and then launch a surprise attack. If there is gunpowder, prepare more gunpowder. If there is no gunpowder, use more gunpowder." Prepare fire oil cans. Once attacked, use gunpowder and fire oil cans to severely injure Yan Yun's army! Yan Yun's army is brave and good at fighting, so don't be careless!"
Xi Zuo bowed and agreed, and then said: "Currently, there are hundreds of thousands of militiamen in Yanjing City to help defend the city, and hundreds of thousands of civilians are responsible for the logistics tasks of the Yanyun Army. The city is crowded and noisy day and night. There is no need to disguise themselves as Yanyun soldiers to hide from others! Even if they openly carry swords on the streets, others will only think that they are civilian soldiers and will not be suspicious. "
Ye Qihu City was very happy and said: "That's great, God is really helping me! You sneak back to Yanjing overnight and act according to my instructions. You cooperate with Duan Yang and after successfully seizing the city gate, immediately launch When the arrow is heard, I will immediately lead the army into Yanjing! You also need to tell him that after the incident is completed, I will appoint him to stay in Yanjing, and he will never break his promise!" Xizuo promised, and then left in a hurry.
The next night, more than a thousand people gathered in the backyard of Duan Yang's house, all dressed in common people's clothes and holding various weapons. In front of these people, there were two people, one of whom was very young, in his early twenties, handsome, wearing a leather armor, with a long sword hanging on his waist, his eyebrows furrowed, his expression Dignity, this person is Duan Yao's younger brother, Duan Yang, who was previously arrested for treason; and the person next to Duan Yang is the Khitan who previously reported to Yeqihu City. This is an ordinary-looking, but A young man with a strong temperament, his name is Hui Libu, and he is an officer in the army of Hucheng City, Yeqi. It can be said that he is both wise and brave.
Duan Yang looked up at the sky. At this time, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and it was almost midnight. Duan Yang turned around and asked if he would return the gift: "General, the time agreed was midnight, is that right?" He replied with a smile: "Master Duan, don't be nervous. The time is midnight, it can't be wrong."
Bang, bang, bang! Suddenly there was the sound of a watch on the street outside. It was already midnight. After returning the gift, he immediately said to Duan Yang: "Master Duan, it's time to take action!" Duan Yang nodded, waved to his subordinates, and said loudly: "The time has come for great success, come with me!" Then he returned the gift and said: Together, they led more than a thousand men out of the gate and rushed towards the west gate. Although it was midnight at this time, the whole city was not quiet. There were patrolling militiamen and busy people everywhere. Duan Yang and his group of more than a thousand people marched on the street, but they did not attract anyone's attention.
Two quarters of an hour later, the city gate was in sight. I couldn't help but become nervous when I returned the gift. At this moment, more than a dozen Yanyun troops suddenly came from the front, and the leader was the fierce general Yang Jing. Duan Yang and Hui Li were both shocked when they saw Yang Jing. Their hearts could not help but beat fast. They quickly lowered their heads and led their men to walk forward at a faster pace. They just hoped to miss Yang Jing as soon as possible and nothing would happen. .
The two sides passed each other. Yang Jing suddenly reined in his horse, turned around and shouted: "Stop!" Everyone stopped, and many people raised their hearts in their throats. In return, they secretly held the handle of the knife, preparing to attack and kill if the situation went wrong. Damn that big black guy. Duan Yanghe didn't turn his head in return. At this time, Yang Jing had already turned his horse's head and stepped forward. Duan Yang rushed to Yang Jing and paid homage: "I pay my respects to General Yang!"
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
