When Sun Heng saw that the other party had grabbed the barrel of his gun, he was very angry. He used all his strength to grab it back with both hands, but it still didn't move at all. The soldiers on the city wall were originally shouting and cheering, but seeing this scene, the shouting and cheering gradually weakened. Zhou Rong was anxious and angry; An Bing was shocked and gloating at the same time.
Sun Heng had already used all his strength to suck, his mouth was pursed tightly, his eyes were wide open, veins popped up on his forehead, and his originally dark complexion turned dark and red. However, his spear seemed to have taken root in Huyan Bixian's hand. No matter how hard he tried, it would not move at all.
Hu Yanbixian smiled and said, "I won't play with you anymore. I'll give it back to you." After saying that, he let go of his left hand holding the barrel of the gun. At this time, Sun Heng was still struggling to snatch back the spear. Unexpectedly, the other party would suddenly let go. Unprepared, he suddenly fell backwards and fell straight from the horse. He screamed in fright and fell heavily with a thud. He fell off the horse, his legs were in the air, and he was extremely embarrassed.
The soldiers of Yanyun Army burst out laughing, while the people on the city wall were so ashamed that they wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl in. Zhou Rong blushed and yelled: "Trash! Trash!!" An Bing saw Zhou Rong's He felt very happy when he made a fool of himself, but then he became frightened again. He knew Sun Heng, who was very skilled in martial arts. He once competed with his subordinate Fang Long, and Fang Long could only succeed in fighting him. Even though he looks like a clown now, he is actually one of the strongest generals in the city! But for such a character to be teased like a child, it really makes one's hair stand on end!
Sun Heng got up from the ground and saw Guan Sheng with a smile on his face. He felt that he looked more terrifying than the legendary evil ghost. How dare he stay here, so he turned around and ran away. Huyan Bixian didn't catch up, and immediately laughed on the spot. When Sun Heng heard Hu Yanbixian's laughter, he thought he was coming to hunt him down. He was so frightened that he rolled and crawled towards the city gate. He was relieved when he ran into the city gate. After taking a few breaths, I suddenly felt something cold in my crotch. I couldn't help but look down and saw that my crotch was actually wet! Sun Heng was so ashamed and helpless that he didn't know what to do!
Hu Yanbixian returned to Yang Peng and said with a smile: "These birdmen are really useless! Even the last generals are too lazy to kill them!" Yang Peng said with a smile: "It is better not to kill them than to kill them!" Then he raised his right hand and moved forward. With a wave, the three thousand light cavalry who had been waiting for orders immediately galloped out towards the city of Chengdu. The rumble of horse hoofs sounded loudly, the smoke and dust were swirling, and the momentum was like a tide!
The people on the city wall immediately became nervous. Amid the panicked shouts of generals at all levels, the soldiers prepared for battle in a panic, and there was a chaos on the city top. Yan Yun's cavalry galloped to a place more than a hundred steps away from the city wall. He suddenly reined in his horse and fired several waves of arrows into the city. He then turned his horse's head and returned to the formation. The horn of retreat sounded loudly, and Yan Yun's army slowly retreated.
The garrison officers and soldiers in the city couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when they saw Yan Yun's army retreating. Then everyone discovered that the arrows shot by the Yanyun warriors just now were actually tied with notes, so they all picked them up and looked at them. The notes contained the policies of the Yanyun army, telling the people in the city that as long as they became Yanyun people, they would be able to win. You can get your own land, your own house, etc. unconditionally. In addition, he also talked about the attitude of Yanyun Army towards the soldiers and civilians in the city, and finally said: "Don't join in the traitors who betrayed the Chinese people. Only by defecting to Yanyun can you have a happy life!"
Zhou Rong and An Bing also read the Arrow Book and were shocked. They quickly ordered their trusted soldiers to collect the notes and strictly ordered the entire army not to discuss the contents of the Arrow Book or spread the contents of the Arrow Book. Violators would be punished under military law. The soldiers were in a state of turmoil and were at a loss what to do.
Yang Peng returned to the tent and sat down. The generals were separated, and Luo Yanran stood beside Yang Peng. Since Luo Yanran was rescued by Yang Peng, she has been staying by Yang Peng's side. She rarely spoke and always looked at Yang Peng silently who was giving orders.
Liu Xi smiled and said: "Previously, King Yan's plan was to conquer Hanzhou without a fight. Today, he can certainly conquer Chengdu without a fight!" Yang Peng shook his head and said: "I'm afraid the situation like Hanzhou will not happen again. Here we are. The situation is different from Hanzhou. This is the home base of Zhou Rong and An Bing. The soldiers and generals here are all their cronies. Although this psychological attack tactic can shake the morale of the army, it is impossible to conquer Chengdu without a fight! Even if some soldiers want to I'm afraid they don't have the courage to follow Zheng Jun's example. Even if they have the courage, they will be extinguished soon."
The generals thought that what King Yan said made sense and couldn't help but nodded. Hu Yanbixian said loudly: "Although the city of Chengdu is strong, the morale of the defenders inside has been shaken. I think we can capture Chengdu within three days with a frontal attack!" Zhan Jinguo nodded and said: "General Hu Yan said It's good. The morale of the troops in the city is shaken and morale is low. It is not difficult to capture Chengdu!" Zheng Jun stepped forward and asked for a fight: "The last general is willing to lead his troops as a forward to attack Chengdu!" After his request for a fight, other generals also asked for a fight.
Yang Peng sighed and said: "But I don't want to cause more casualties! If we attack the city, our soldiers will definitely pay a high price, and the city of Chengdu will become a river of blood! Unless it is a last resort, I don't want to see such a scene! "
The generals looked at each other, and Zheng Jun was moved and said: "The King of Yan can consider the safety of the soldiers and civilians in Chengdu. He is really a benevolent and righteous king!" Liu Xi clasped his fists and said: "The King of Yan is so benevolent and righteous that even Emperors of the Tang Dynasty, Song Zu, and Yao, Shun, and Yu Tang could not match him! However, if the army's campaign is postponed for a long time, I'm afraid it will cause trouble! King Yan, don't forget the information he received not long ago. The Tubo people and the envoys of the Second Emperor have already rushed back. If we delay under the city of Chengdu, we are afraid that the Tubo army and The reinforcements from the Second Emperor will arrive, and then this battle will not be easy to fight, and more people may be sacrificed!"
Hu Yanbixian said: "General Liu is right!" Then he clasped his fists towards Yang Peng and said: "King Yan, we all understand that you don't want to kill your own people! But the current situation is that if we don't capture Chengdu as soon as possible, , our situation is unfavorable! By then, both sides will definitely have more casualties!" Zhan Jinguo also said: "Brother, I think General Guan and General Liu are right!"
Yang Peng said: "I have already decided. Please wait and see. Don't try to persuade me any more!"
All the generals looked at each other. After the discussion was over, the generals left the tent. Zhan Jinguo looked puzzled and said: "Eldest brother has always been wise and decisive, why is he so gentle this time?" Hu Yanbixian sighed, "The King of Yan cares about the friendship between the same clan and does not want to cause more casualties to his own people. That is understandable. Yes!" Then he frowned, "It's just that King Yan clearly knows that delaying time is not good for us, but why must he wait? Isn't this the kindness of women? King Yan should not be such a person!" Zhan Jinguo guessed : "Brother, maybe you just have to wait a little bit, but there's no need to worry too much." Hu Yanbixian felt that what Zhan Jinguo said made sense and nodded.
Yang Peng sat behind the desk and wrote something. After he finished writing, he read it carefully and saw that there was no problem, so he dried the ink, folded it, put it in an envelope, and wrote "personally from Yang Yanzhao" in big characters on the envelope. Then he called Wang Kai and handed the letter to him, asking him to immediately send someone to send the letter to Xiliang and give it to Yang Yanzhao. Wang Kai accepted the promise and ran down.
Yang Peng thought for a while, then took another piece of letter paper and wrote a letter. After checking that it was correct, he folded it and put it in an envelope, but he did not write the recipient's name on the envelope. Yang Peng shouted loudly, "Here comes someone." A secret guard guarding outside the tent ran in, clasped his fists and asked, "What are your orders, master?"
Yang Peng said: "Call Hu Yan Bixian." The secret guard responded and ran down. A moment later, Hu Yan Bixian strode in, bowed and clasped his fists and said: "Greetings to King Yan! I wonder what King Yan has ordered?"
Yang Peng said: "Our army does not have enough food and grass. I have ordered Tianjing New City to transport food and grass. You can lead the ninth army back to Hanzhong to escort the food and grass." Huyan Bixian was very confused and asked: "King Yan, why did you send the last general? We are going to escort the grain and fodder, and we have to dispatch all the troops and horses of the Ninth Legion! Isn’t this a bit of a fuss?”
Yang Peng said angrily: "This is a military order!" Hu Yanbi showed his helplessness and had no choice but to clasp his fists and accept the promise. He couldn't help but feel that King Yan, who had always been wise and decisive, seemed to be a little dizzy this time. First, he made no decision to conquer Chengdu in one go, and now he actually sent It is really inexplicable that his ninth legion went to escort the food and grass!
Yang Peng handed the letter he had just written into Luo Yanran's hands and motioned for her to hand it over to Hu Yanbixian. Luo Yanran walked up to Huyan Bixian with the letter and handed it to him. Hu Yanbixian quickly stretched out his hands to take the letter, and was about to open it and read it. Yang Peng said quickly: "Don't look at it yet!" Hu Yanbi looked at Yang Peng with confusion.
Yang Peng said, "We'll see you two days after you lead the army." Hu Yanbi showed his promise with clasped fists. Yang Peng said: "Okay, if there is no problem, just go and prepare and set off early tomorrow morning."
Hu Yanbixian said angrily: "The general's heart is full of problems! King Yan, you..." Yang Peng smiled and waved his hand, "I know all your problems! I have my plans, so don't say more. Yes, just follow my instructions!" Huyan Bixian had no choice but to swallow all his doubts, bowed to Yang Peng, then to Luo Yanran, and left.
Wang Kai rushed in and reported: "Master, the letter has been sent. Someone came outside the military camp, claiming to be the envoy of Zhou Rong and An Bing, and wanted to see King Yan!" Yang Peng smiled and said, "Well done. . Summon all the generals to me and bring them in." Wang Kai responded and ran down. Immediately, the general drum outside the big tent rang loudly. The generals heard the sound of the general drum and rushed to the big tent. Then two guys who looked like scholars were brought into the big tent by Wang Kai.
The scholar on the left first paid his respects: "Zhou Hong, the general of Tubo and the envoy of the governor of Sichuan, pays homage to King Yan!" The scholar on the right followed and said: "Anhua, the general of Zhenxi in the Song Dynasty and the envoy of the governor of Sichuan, pays homage to King Yan!"
Yang Peng sneered: "Sichuan has always been the territory of the Han people, what are the Tubo envoys doing here?" Zhou Hong quickly said: "The King of Yan does not know, Tubo has reached an agreement with the court, and the two emperors promised to cede the north of Chengdu. I gave it to Tubo. Now my lord is the general of Tibet and the governor of Sichuan."
Yang Peng said: "The empire of the Han people does not belong to the Zhao family! The Zhao family is not qualified to give away the empire of the Han people!" Zhan Jinguo said angrily: "Those stupid things in Song Ting, things signed with others, we Yan Yun will not admit it at all!" The generals roared one after another, and the crowd was furious for a moment. Seeing this scene, Zhou Hong felt terrified, worried that the other party would chop him down in anger. Thinking of the horror, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
Yang Peng signaled the generals to be quiet. The generals suppressed their anger and stopped yelling, but they still glared at Zhou Hong, making Zhou Hong feel as if a pack of wolves were about to devour him at any moment. His whole body was shivering and very uneasy. . At this time, not only Zhou Hong was frightened, but An Bing's envoy An Hua was not much better. He only felt that King Yan and his generals were all arrogant and reckless men, and they were afraid that if they were not careful, they would cause trouble. They got angry and were chopped down by them! I couldn't help but regret, regretting that I should not have volunteered to be this messenger!
Yang Peng looked down at Zhou Hong and asked: "Why did Zhou Rong send you here?" Zhou Hong said quickly: "Hui, if you want to go back to King Yan, Master Zhou sent, sent this villain here in the hope of negotiating peace with King Yan! Yang Peng looked at Anhua and asked, "Is this what An Bing means too?"
Anhua couldn't help but knelt down and said: "My lord means the same thing. My lord said that as long as King Yan agrees to withdraw his troops, he is willing to offer one million dans of grain and grass, five million taels of silver, and one hundred thousand taels of gold as compensation." !" Zhou Hong said quickly: "My master is also willing to offer one million dans of grain and grass, five million taels of silver, and one hundred thousand taels of gold as compensation!"
Yang Peng secretly said: 'Good guys, these two guys can take out two million tons of grain and grass, 10 million taels of silver and 200,000 taels of gold at once. These will definitely not be the entire reserves of those two guys! The Kingdom of Abundance is indeed well-deserved! ' He glanced at the two of them and said, "Incorporating Sichuan into the territory is my general plan, Yan Yun, and it will never be changed! You go back!"
Zhou Hong said quickly: "If the King of Yan must annex Sichuan, we can still talk about it! What my lord means is that it is okay to defect to Yanyun, as long as the King of Yan can agree and retain a series of Tubo's treatment of my lord. Canonization!" Anhua also said: "My master means the same thing!"
Yang Peng sneered and said: "It seems that your Lordships have already discussed it! Go back and tell them that they are willing to surrender, and I welcome them. However, I cannot agree to their conditions! I, Yan Yun, have my own laws, and all titles are It must be earned through merit, and in addition to merit, all positions also depend on one's ability. Zhou Rong and An Bing, with mediocre qualifications, can only become prefects at most, and their contribution to Chengdu is far from enough. They have obtained the positions of general and governor, and I can promise that they will be appointed as local magistrates of Sichuan, and there will be no other discussion."
The two envoys were disappointed and looked at each other. Zhou Hong couldn't help but said: "If we fight to the end with King Yan, I'm afraid King Yan won't be able to get away with it!" Yang Peng laughed loudly, his laughter full of contempt, and said to the two of them: "If you can surrender, I welcome you; If you want to resist, that's up to you! Okay, I've said everything I need to say, you can go back and resume your life!"
The two of them did not dare to say anything more, bowed to Yang Peng, and left the tent. Hu Yanbixian asked excitedly: "King Yan, are we going to attack Chengdu?" The other generals also looked very excited. Yang Peng glanced at everyone, "Who told you that I am going to attack Chengdu? The original plan remains unchanged, you all should retreat." The generals were surprised, looked at each other, and bowed to Yang Peng with doubts. Bye, exit the big tent.
Hu Yanbixian couldn't help but said: "It's really inexplicable! King Yan wants to use peaceful means to solve the problem, but why doesn't he give in to the conditions proposed by the other party?" Liu Xi frowned and said: "What King Yan said was clearly to force It's really puzzling that Zhou Rong and An Bing resisted to the end!" Then he sighed: "In short, King Yan is unpredictable, and we can't understand King Yan's plan no matter what!" Zhan Jinguo said: "We won't It’s troublesome, just follow the instructions of big brother!” The generals nodded in agreement.
Zhou Hong and An Hua returned to the city and told Zhou Rong and An Bing, who were waiting eagerly, for King Yan's reply. They heard that King Yan did not accept the conditions they proposed at all and still insisted on the previous conditions. They couldn't help but be shocked. Feeling disappointed, and then angry, Zhou Rong said angrily: "He thinks he has defeated us! Huh, since he doesn't agree to my conditions, I will fight with him to the end! I don't believe that Yan Yunjun can really Break down the heavily fortified city of Chengdu! When the reinforcements from Tibet and the imperial court arrive, I will see who is in trouble!" An Bing remained silent.
An Bing came out of Zhou Rong's place and returned to his mansion. He immediately called Jiang Tong and Nuan'er and gave them detailed instructions. Finally, he said, "It's not too late. Let's set off now." The two agreed and left. The mansion. He quietly came to the east gate and left the city.
Yang Peng was looking at the Sichuan map under the lamp with a thoughtful look on his face. Luo Yanran led Yun'er in holding a poached egg, came behind Yang Peng, and called softly: "Brother..." Yang Peng turned around, saw Luo Yanran, and said with a smile, "Why aren't you asleep yet? Luo Yanran said softly: "Brother, isn't he still asleep?" Yang Peng held Luo Yanran's delicate hand and said with a smile: "I am different. I lead the army in battles. This is always the case! You are a girl, and your body is too big." Weak, it delays sleep, but it is easy to get sick." Luo Yanran said proudly: "The eldest brother underestimates the little sister! The little sister is not the kind of rich lady who lives in the boudoir and can't help but feel weak! She usually stays up late!"
Yang Peng said angrily: "Don't stay up late from now on! If you fall ill, brother will be sad!" Luo Yanran felt sweet in her heart, and then begged: "Brother, I, I want to ask you something... ..." Yang Peng smiled and said: "Don't ask for anything, as long as big brother can do it, I will do it for you!" Luo Yanran said: "Brother, little sister hopes that in the future, we will be together, you, You can allow me to continue to manage the family business! I don’t want to be a canary in a cage!"
Yang Peng asked: "What if the eldest brother disagrees?" Luo Yanran was greatly disappointed and couldn't help but sigh, and said quietly: "If this is the case, the younger sister will have to be the canary of the eldest brother!" She glanced at Yang Peng and said, " It’s just that my little sister will be very unhappy!”
Yang Peng gently hugged Luo Yanran into his arms, his lips pressed against the gauze beside her ear and said softly: "Brother, how can I bear to see Yanran unhappy! I agree to your request." Luo Yanran Overjoyed, he quickly left Yang Peng's arms and asked, "Brother, are you telling the truth?" Yang Peng nodded with a smile and said, "But one thing must be changed. You have to live in the palace from now on, but you are not allowed to live there anymore. It’s at my parents’ house!”
Luo Yanran felt both shy and happy, and nodded gently, saying in a voice as quiet as a gnat: "Of course." Thinking of the cooked poached eggs, she quickly turned around and took them from Yun'er's hand, handed them to Yang Peng, and said: "Brother, these are the poached eggs that Yun'er and I made. Eat them while they're hot!"
Yang Peng's heart was full of tenderness, he took the poached egg with both hands and ate it hungrily. Luo Yanran and Yun'er were very happy when they saw Yang Peng eating. After Yang Peng finished eating the poached eggs, he was still unsatisfied. Handing the empty bowl to Yun'er, Yun'er ran down with the empty bowl. Yang Peng smiled and said to Luo Yanran: "Since we can't sleep, how about taking a walk under the moon?" Luo Yanran said softly: "Whatever big brother says, do whatever you want."
Yang Peng took Luo Yanran's delicate hand and walked out of the tent. The guard guarding the door quickly bowed and saluted: "Prince Yan, Miss!" Luo Yanran was held by Yang Peng's hand for the first time in front of outsiders. She was so shy that she lowered her head and did not dare to look at the guards.
Yang Peng led Luo Yanran to the hill in the military camp and looked up at the sky. He saw the bright moon hanging in the sky and the surrounding stars twinkling. He couldn't help but sigh: "Today's night is so beautiful!" Luo Yanran felt something in her heart. , couldn't help but say: "I am speechless and the moon is silent, the bright moon has light and people are affectionate. After farewell, I miss you like the moon, and the water in the clouds reaches the city." After I finished reading, I suddenly thought that my eldest brother was beside me, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed, My heart was pounding, and I couldn't help but regret. I regretted that I couldn't help chanting this poem. Didn't this tell my elder brother that I had been deeply in love with him before? It’s so embarrassing!
Luo Yanran secretly looked at Yang Peng and saw him looking at her tenderly. She was startled and became even more ashamed, so she quickly looked away. Then she felt her elder brother's strong arms wrap around her slender waist, her heart fluttered, and she leaned into Chen Xiao's arms.
Yang Peng put his arms around Luo Yanran's slender waist and said softly: "Brother really deserves a beating, but he didn't know that Yanran has been deeply in love with eldest brother for a long time!" Luo Yanran was shy and said: "Who, who said, I, I love you I'm deeply in love! I don't have that kind of thing like that!" Yang Peng put his lips against Luo Yanran's gauze, smelled a wisp of elegant fragrance, his heart skipped a beat, and he asked with a smile: "Then 'Farewell, I miss you like the moon' means Who is it?" Luo Yanran buried Zhen's head in Yang Peng's arms and said angrily: "If you are necrotic, you will make fun of others!"
Yang Peng couldn't help but feel emotional, and said softly: "Yanran..." Luo Yanran raised her head and looked at Chen Xiao, her heart was pounding, an impulse she had never felt before came to her heart, and she couldn't help but gasp. , the veil surged, and the fragrance of orchid and musk sprayed on Yang Peng's face. Yang Peng couldn't help but hugged Luo Yanran tightly.
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
