Taro Tatsumoto sneered: "Noda-kun wants jade pieces, that's great!" Pointing to the top of the mountain, "Noda-kun, why don't you rush up and fight the Yanyun Army in a bloody battle, so that we can get a glimpse of Noda-kun!" Noda-kun! Yoshihiko stared at Ryumoto Taro, his face turning green and white, but he still didn't dare to really rush forward and fight for his life. The world is beautiful and life is precious. It is still a bit reluctant to give away this life so casually.
Ueno Mamoru said: "Okay, don't argue!" Then he sighed and said in a very helpless tone: "When the matter has reached this point, there is no other way!" He glanced at the soldiers around him, "We have tried our best. It's not that we are not loyal and brave enough, it's because the Yanyun Army is too tough! They are really tigers and wolves, unparalleled in the world! Our defeat at their hands is not a shame! It's not that we are incompetent, it's just that the enemy is too strong! "Everyone nodded in agreement. Although Noda Yoshihiko didn't agree, he didn't object. He looked like his parents were dead!
Seeing that Noda Yoshihiko did not object, Ueno Mamoru secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Let's surrender to the Yanyun Army." Then he led thousands of people to the mountain, put down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and bowed to Qiuxia. Surrender. Qiuxia accepted their surrender and immediately ordered her soldiers to take the Japanese aside and keep them in custody, waiting for disposal.
At this time, the Japanese at the foot of the mountain also surrendered like Xiang Danian. Xiang Danian smiled coldly and said with murderous intent: "What a fool! When we massacred Yanshan County, we didn't expect that today would happen!..." Yanshan County is located to the east of Cangzhou, between Cangzhou and the sea. It is a beautiful scenery This beautiful small town originally had more than 10,000 residents, but not long ago it was massacred by the Japanese army. Seven or eight thousand people died. The Japanese at that time were cruel, rampant, and arrogant!
The Japanese who could understand Chinese couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts after hearing Xiang Danian's words, and a bad premonition arose in their hearts. Xiang Danian said angrily: "You have killed so many of our people and still want to live. Nothing in the world is so cheap!" The Japanese who could understand Chinese were shocked, and a warrior shouted in Chinese: "You promised , As long as we surrender, we will not be killed!" Xiang Danian said with a cruel smile: "I regretted it!" All the Japanese were frightened and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xiang Danian raised his mace and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill these beasts that are worse than pigs and dogs!"
The soldiers had all seen the tragic situation in Yanshan County, and they hated the Japanese so much that they had no desire to capture them alive. When they heard General Xiang Danian's order, they felt exactly what they wanted. They immediately raised their crossbows and fired arrows at the Japanese. The arrows flew away like locusts. At such a close distance and with such density, the arrows all shot into the bodies of the Japanese. The Japanese fell over one after another and screamed loudly! Seeing Yan Yunjun's ruthless attack, the Japanese were so frightened that they jumped up in panic and tried their best. However, they were all shot to the ground by powerful arrows. Even those who rushed to the Yanyun Army's front line were chopped down by Yan Yunjun's sabers. If you fall down or get knocked over by a spear, no one can escape!
After two quarters of an hour, it finally became quiet. The scene was filled with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood. Tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers were slaughtered, and a few who were not dead were still crawling among the bloody corpses.
Ueno Morunao and others on the mountain were already scared out of their wits. Many people could not help but tremble all over, and some even peed their pants. Ueno Mamoru looked pale and said: "Okay, so cruel! They, why did they do this?" Noda Yoshihiko glared at Tatsumoto Taro and shouted: "I said I would not surrender, but you insist on surrendering! It's okay now, We have become fish on the chopping board!" Taro Ryumoto swallowed, and he was extremely frightened.
Qiuxia frowned as she looked at the scene down the mountain. She had seen a lot of killings, but she felt that Xiang Danian had gone too far this time. In Yanyun's tent, Kou Yan scolded Xiang Danian: "You actually slaughtered tens of thousands of captives! How dare you do it!?" Xiang Danian snorted and said, "Kill tens of thousands of beasts. Why can't you do it!" Kou Yan said angrily: "When you ambushed Ping Chongsheng's army before, you massacred the prisoners, and you did it again today! It's not okay to do this!"
Xiang Danian glanced at Kou Yan and glared: "Don't blow your hair and stare in front of me. When I was with my eldest brother, you didn't know where you were!" Kou Yan frowned and softened his tone. Said: "Military law stipulates that prisoners cannot be killed indiscriminately. You are violating military law by doing this!" Xiang Danian said: "I am not killing people indiscriminately. I am avenging the folks in Yanshan County! As long as I can avenge the folks , I, Xiang Danian, am willing to be the military commander!" Then he said to Kou Yan: "I will also kill those beasts like Ueno Morunao, they are the culprits!"
Kou Yan was startled and said urgently: "No! These enemy chiefs must be handed over to King Yan to deal with! General Xiang, you don't even take the King of Yan seriously!"
Xiang Danian frowned, glanced at Kou Yan, snorted, and said: "Brother, if you teach me to die, I will draw my sword and kill myself without hesitation! Master Kou, can you do it? Don't say this in front of me. Such words!" After a pause, "You are right in saying that the enemy chieftain should be dealt with by the eldest brother. I will listen to you!" After hearing this, Kou Yan couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried about Xiang Danian's bad temper. Come up and kill all of Ueno Morunao's people. That won't be easy to explain!
Yanjing. These days, although the Khitan people are in peace talks with Yan Yun, they don't seem to be very sincere and seem to be waiting and watching. Yang Peng naturally saw their intentions. They were waiting and watching, watching the development of the world situation. If the situation was not good for Yan Yun, they would immediately terminate the peace talks and continue to use troops. On the contrary, if the situation was in the direction that was beneficial to Yan Yun, they would development, they will come to peace talks with great sincerity.
Another day of fruitless peace talks ended, and Handerang returned to his residence. As soon as I sat down, an urgent report came from China. Handrang received the urgent report, read it, and his expression changed. Putting down the urgent report, with a look of disappointment and awe on his face, he stood up, walked to the window, looked out the window and couldn't help but sighed, and couldn't help but murmured: "The Japanese have indeed failed! This is true. As expected, our army of 600,000 is no match for the 200,000 Yanyun Army, let alone the 200,000 Japanese army!" He frowned, with a deep look of worry in his eyes, "The Yanyun Army is indeed a tiger and a wolf. A wise man is invincible!" His thoughts couldn't help but touch the future, his face suddenly turned white, and he couldn't help but said: "The tiger is powerful all over the world, and the dragon roars for nine days!" At this time, it was setting, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected the whole world. As if stained with blood! A gust of wind blew, as if a war horse was neighing!
In Prince Yan's palace, Yang Peng was chatting with Ye Qi Guanyin and Yang Jiumei, and the atmosphere was very relaxed. At this moment, the guard came in and reported: "To King Yan, Han Derang, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, is asking for an audience!" Yang Jiumei smiled and said, "I am here to ask for an audience at this time. It seems that he has also learned the news that the Japanese army has been annihilated!" Yang Peng smiled and nodded, and said to the guard: "Bring him in." The guard agreed and ran down. Yang Peng stood up and walked to the top and sat down, while Ye Qi Guanyin and Yang Jiumei sat at the left and right seats respectively.
After a while, the guards led Han Derang in. The guards bowed to Yang Peng and then retreated. Han Derang saluted and said: "I have met King Yan!" Then he bowed to Ye Qi Guanyin and said, "I have met the eldest princess! Is the eldest princess okay?"
Ye Qi Guanyin couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and said: "Prime Minister, please don't call me that, I am no longer a princess." She turned to look at Yang Peng, her beautiful eyes showing deep affection. She turned back to Han Derang and said, "I am just Yan Peng now." The king’s princess!”
Han Derang couldn't help but said: "The subjects of the Liao Kingdom have always regarded you as our princess!" Ye Qi Guanyin frowned, and Yang Peng said angrily: "Han Derang, you are so bold, you actually provoke me and me in front of me. It’s my wife’s relationship!” When Handerang heard this, she felt relieved because she knew that since her elder brother said this, she must not have been fooled! Han Derang looked embarrassed, but the awkward look quickly disappeared and he said very sincerely: "What I said was from the bottom of my heart. I never meant it. King Yan must not misunderstand!"
Yang Peng smiled coldly and said: "Okay, stop talking nonsense and talk about serious things." He glanced at Han Derang and said teasingly: "Presumably your envoy received the information and knew that the Japanese were finished, so he wanted to truly make peace with him. I’m talking!”
Handerang said with a smile: "King Yan is joking! I have been negotiating seriously with you!"
Yang Peng said: "My conditions are that all the Khitan troops withdraw from Tanzhou, and the Liao Kingdom cedes the state capitals west of Longmen Mountain, and also pays five million taels of silver!" Seeing Han Derang's eyes rolling, he knew what the hell he was thinking, He said angrily: "These conditions are non-negotiable. Whether the Liao Kingdom is willing or unwilling, I don't care!"
Seeing Yang Peng's decisive attitude, Han Derang couldn't help but become a little confused. He thought for a while and said: "King Yan Mingjian, this matter of withdrawing the army and ceding the land is easy to handle. It's just that the compensation is true. Our Daliao Kingdom During this period of continuous fighting, I had a good fight with the Mongols before starting the war with your side! The money and food reserves have long been exhausted. The money and food for this trip south was finally collected from the private sector! The compensation of five million taels is really We can't take it out!" Then he bowed and said, "Please show your respect to King Yan! If King Yan insists on doing this, we naturally dare not disobey and have to collect it from the people. I am afraid that there will be complaints and it will be very bad for King Yan's reputation. ah!"
Yang Peng laughed loudly and joked: "Your envoy is really good at telling jokes. Your people are complaining about me, Yang Peng, so why should I care!" After a pause, he said, "But since you can't take it out, I will." Don’t force it!”
Han Derang was overjoyed when he saw that Yang Peng agreed. He quickly thanked him. Then he felt unbelievable in his heart. He really couldn't believe that the other party would be so lenient. He couldn't help but asked: "King Yan really agreed?" Yang Peng looked at Han Derang. He glanced at it and said jokingly: "Why, you are not happy that I agreed?" Han Derang said quickly: "No, no, no, I am very happy, very happy!" Then he bowed: "The King of Yan is benevolent and righteous, and I sincerely On behalf of the army and people of our country, I would like to thank King Yan for his great kindness!"
Yang Peng secretly cursed: "Bullshit benevolence and righteousness." He waved his hand and said, "I haven't finished speaking yet." Han Derang couldn't help but become nervous again, looking at Yang Peng eagerly, feeling uneasy in his heart. Yang Peng said: "You, the Liao Kingdom, must release all the people who were kidnapped."
Handerang was surprised. After thinking about it, he felt that this condition was not too much. If he didn't agree, it would be really bad. He nodded and said: "This condition can be agreed to by the Queen Mother on behalf of the Queen Mother!" Yang Peng said with a smile: " That's good! These are my conditions. If there are no problems, we can make a contract!" Handerang said quickly: "We have another unkind request. I hope King Yan can release our captured soldiers. ."
Yang Jiumei sneered and said: "Don't you think this request is too much? We have already made a big concession!" Han Derang quickly said to Yang Peng: "This is not our condition. I just hope that King Yan can be lenient! If If King Yan can agree, the entire Liao Kingdom will be grateful!" Yang Peng said: "I will consider this matter after you implement all the conditions I proposed." Han Derang heard what Yang Peng said, and it was obviously negotiable. He was very happy and said: "Thank you so much, King Yan!"
Yang Peng picked up the two peace contracts that had already been written down from the desk, picked up his own gold seal of King Yan, and stamped it. Then he put down the gold seal, picked up the peace treaty and handed it to Han Derang, saying: "Take it back and show it to your Queen Mother." Handerang bowed forward, took the peace treaty with both hands, took three steps back, and read the two peace treaties carefully. Confirm there are no issues. He bowed to Yang Peng and said, "I will take my leave now!" Yang Peng nodded. Handerang left in a hurry. Yang Peng said to Yang Jiumei: "Immediately send someone to inform Fan Yong of the situation of the peace treaty and ask him to adapt accordingly." Fan Yong, Yan Yun's senior envoy, has been on an envoy to Xixia and Tubo, and is currently on an envoy to Liao in Xijing, Liao Kingdom. country. Yang Jiumei stood up, clasped her fists in agreement, and left.
Yang Peng stood up and walked to the door. Ye Qi Guanyin came to Yang Peng's side. Yang Peng pointed at the starry night sky and said with a smile: "Today's night is so beautiful!" Yedi Guanyin looked up and said with a smile: "Isn't it like this every day? You have solved a big problem, so you are in a particularly good mood. !" Yang Peng said with a smile: "I didn't expect that things would develop so smoothly! The Khitan people were frightened, and the Japanese army was wiped out. The remaining problems are no longer a problem!"
Ye Di Guanyin said: "The Song people may have launched an attack!" Yang Peng laughed mockingly and said jokingly: "What's the matter? Maybe they have learned about the war situation in the north and immediately ran away with their tail between their legs!" Ye Di Guanyin said with a mocking smile. Hearing what Yang Peng said was interesting, he couldn't help but laugh.
Yang Peng stretched out a great deal, took Yeyi Guanyin's slender hand, and said with a smile: "Brother is in a very good mood, let's talk tonight!" Yeyi Guanyin was immediately moved, and looked at Yang Peng with burning eyes, He held Yang Peng's palm with his backhand. Yang Peng couldn't help but move his index finger, and suddenly bent down and picked up Ye Qi Guanyin, striding towards the back. A night of lingering, infinite beauty...
Bianjing, above the palace hall. As before, the ministers were still debating whether to send troops to the Northern Expedition, and the emperor was still hesitant and very distressed.
At this moment, a general of the Imperial Guard hurried in. The noisy hall fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes fell on him. The general of the imperial guard rushed to the center of the hall, knelt down on one knee, held up a letter with both hands, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, we have just received an urgent military report from the north!" Wang Qinruo said excitedly: "Definitely. It was the Khitans and Japanese who defeated the Yanyun army!"
After hearing this, Zhao Heng thought this was the case and couldn't help but get angry. He glared at Grand Master Pang and said angrily: "You are all talking nonsense and delaying the military plan. Otherwise, my imperial master would have swept across the Central Plains by now!" "When the ministers of Wang Qinruo's line saw that the emperor was also blaming Taishi Pang, they immediately felt that they were in a position of power, and they also accused Taishi Pang one after another. At this time, the ministers of Taishi Pang's line had actually become mute. They were thinking about how to draw a clear line between them and Taishi Pang. They wanted to agree with Wang Qinruo and others in accusing Taishi Pang, but they didn't dare to do so for a while.
Taishi Pang clasped his fists towards the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what this military report is about, so why are you blaming a minor official? Maybe it's not necessarily because Yanyun's army won a big victory!" Wang Qinruo came out and said with a mocking smile. : "Master Pang, you really can't shed tears until you see the coffin!" Taishi Pang was annoyed. However, the situation was unclear at this time, but he did not dare to refute.
Wang Qinruo turned around, bowed to the emperor, and begged: "Your Majesty, please allow me to open the military report!" Zhao Heng nodded and said, "Let Aiqing read it out in front of the court!" After saying this, he read it with dissatisfaction. He glanced at Master Pang. Wang Qinruo responded, turned around, walked to the general of the imperial guard, and received the military report. Master Pang was extremely nervous, staring straight at Wang Qinruo with his eyes, as if what Wang Qinruo was holding was not a report, but his life and fortune.
Wang Qinruo opened the envelope, took out the military newspaper, unfolded it, and read aloud: "Wei Chen Wang Qiancheng wishes our emperor long live: Not long ago, Wei Chen found reliable news that the Khitan people have reached a peace treaty with Yanyun, and all Khitan troops have withdrawn. Leave the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun and cede the land west of Longmen Mountain..." Wang Qinruo's tone and expression were originally proud, but Zhao Heng was still regretting it, and Taishi Pang was extremely nervous, but when Wang Qinruo read this, Wang Qinruo His expression changed, while Zhao Heng was stunned. Master Pang was overjoyed, and the other ministers had different expressions.
Master Pang smiled and said, "Master Wang, why don't you read any more?" Wang Qinruo came back to his senses and thought that he had just been dazzled by the mistake. He quickly started reading from the beginning again. After reading, he didn't read a word wrong. Wang Qinruo felt unbelievable. The ministers had come to their senses and were whispering among themselves. The emperor's thoughts had changed 180 degrees. He felt extremely lucky and thought that he was extremely wise in not ordering the Northern Expedition!
Master Pang asked Wang Qinruo: "Master Wang, have you finished reciting it?"
Wang Qinruo was angry, but things had changed, but he didn't dare to say anything. Looking at the military report in his hand, he continued to read: "In addition, according to reliable information, the Japanese navy has been defeated and fled, and the Japanese army of 300,000 is already on the border of Hebei, and was defeated by the first, sixth, and seventh Yanyun. The legion's nearly 200,000 troops were defeated and completely annihilated!"
At this moment, everyone in the main hall changed their colors. Sun Jin couldn't help shouting: "Japanese, the Japanese army has been wiped out?!" Some people couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's terrible! The Yanyun Army actually fought with an army of 200,000 people. While subduing the 600,000 Khitan army, they also used 200,000 troops to completely annihilate the Japanese! It's really, really terrible!" Someone continued: "Not only that, they also defeated the Japanese naval army and occupied They destroyed all the land west of the Longmen Mountain of the Khitans! The Khitans and the Japanese combined forces with more than one million troops, but they ended up with such a huge defeat and heavy losses! In fact, it really makes people don’t know what to say!" Said this! At this time, the man's face showed a look of fear and awe. The ministers were talking a lot, and everyone looked frightened and amazed.
Pan Tong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, came out and said: "Your Majesty has seen thousands of miles away and can foresee things like a god. He has already expected such a result, so he stayed out of the matter and did not get burned!" The ministers reacted and praised Zhao Heng for being able to predict things like a god and a ghost. Unpredictable. Zhao Heng was very happy and felt it was useful. He glanced at Taishi Pang with admiration.
Master Pang immediately felt as if he had drank ice-cold sour plum soup in the dog days of summer. He felt refreshed and his whole body seemed to be full of strength. He turned to the frustrated Qin Hui and said, "Master Wang, have you finished reading?"
Wang Qinruo ignored the triumphant Shen Yuqi and bowed to Zhao Heng: "Report to your Majesty, this is the content of the military report!" Zhao Heng looked at Wang Qinruo and snorted displeased. Wang Qinruo's heart trembled and he became uneasy. Suddenly he knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty: "The humble minister was so eager for quick success and quick gain that he almost caused a catastrophe! Fortunately, your majesty has the ability to see things from thousands of miles away and predict events like a god, so the crisis was resolved this time! Please punish the sins of the ministers and set an example for others!"
Zhao Heng heard that Wang Qinruo took all the blame on himself and put all the credit on him as the emperor. His original anger and dissatisfaction disappeared immediately. He only felt that although Wang Qinruo was a little confused sometimes, he was still very loyal and reliable. . He said: "My dear, there is no need to blame yourself. It is understandable that you did not expect the Yanyun people's plot. Fortunately, it did not cause any consequences. Get up."
Wang Qinruo breathed a sigh of relief and kowtowed: "Thank you for your undeserved kindness! Your Majesty is so kind to me that I can't repay you even if I am broken into pieces!" Zhao Heng was smiling, and it was clear that Wang Qinruo's words made him feel very much. Used. Wang Qinruo kowtowed twice more before standing up.
Master Pang looked at Wang Qinruo, feeling very frustrated and cursed secretly: This traitor is so cunning!
Zhao Heng remembered that Yan Yun's army only had an army of more than 400,000 people against the opponent's army of more than one million, and actually achieved a complete victory in such a short period of time, killing the enemy to the point of surrendering. He couldn't help but feel envious and frightened. He couldn't help but murmured: "Yan Yunjun is indeed the best in the world, the master of tigers and wolves! It's better not to mess with them in the future!" The ministers nodded in sympathy, and Sun Jin couldn't help but said: "Yan Yunjun It’s really invincible!”
After all, what happened next will be explained later.
