Yan Ji couldn't help but become curious, wondering what kind of secret her husband, a world-famous hero, could hide, which could actually bring tears to his eyes. A woman's intuition makes her feel that the secret hidden in her husband's heart should be a woman. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel jealous. She had never seen her husband shed tears for a woman, but the woman he had hidden deep in his heart could actually make him shed tears. It really made her crazy with jealousy! What kind of woman is that woman? Is she her husband’s true love? ? Yan Ji just fell into her imagination, imagining that there was a mysterious woman who really occupied her husband's heart!
Seeing Yan Ji's expression was different, Yang Peng asked in confusion: "Ai Ji, what are you thinking about?" Yan Ji came to her senses after being shocked, smiled sweetly and said, "No, I didn't think about anything." Yang Peng saw her unnatural expression and felt that she was hiding something from him. Such thoughts passed quickly, but I didn't take them to heart.
Yang Peng took a stroll along the lake, and Yan Ji followed closely, chatting with Yang Peng word by word while thinking about her own thoughts. Yan Ji is determined to find out the person her husband hides in her heart. She is not convinced. Is there any woman more beautiful than herself?
Yang Peng said: "I plan to go to Sichuan immediately."
Yan Ji was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why are you going to Sichuan?"
Yang Peng said: "Sit in Sichuan and cheer for the soldiers on the front line." Yan Ji smiled and asked: "You can't help but want to go into battle in person, right?" Yang Peng waved his hand, "I don't mean that. But as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I should also express something and let them know that I am behind them, which can be an encouragement to them."
Yan Ji said: "It won't be that simple. My husband is worried that if something happens, he will personally clean up the mess and stabilize the situation."
Yang Peng chuckled and teased: "Aiji, you are really a beautiful roundworm in my belly!" Yan Ji smiled charmingly and said angrily: "It's obviously my husband's roundworm that often gets into my belly." Yang Peng was stunned for a moment, then understood what she meant, and couldn't help but feel his heart flutter. He hugged Yan Ji and kissed her warm red lips fiercely. Yan Ji was in Yang Peng's arms, looking at Yang Peng affectionately, her eyes could turn steel into softness around her fingers. Yang Peng couldn't help but feel moved. Yan Ji suddenly spun around, slipped out of her lover's arms, giggled, cast a flirtatious look at Yang Peng, then turned around and ran towards her bedroom. How could Yang Peng not understand what she meant, so he became excited and chased after her. …
Shi Liancheng came to Fengyu County with 50,000 Hanzhong troops. Climbing to the top of the city and looking at the Tianzhu Military Camp below the city, I saw that the Tianzhu Military Camp stretched for more than ten miles, as if there was no end in sight.
Shi Liancheng turned around, smiled and said to Huyan Bixian: "Brother Huyan, I have received the report, you did a good job!"
Hu Yanbixian cupped his fists and said, "Thank you for the compliment, General!" Then he pointed at the dangerous terrain in front of him and said with a smile, "Actually, the general has no merit. With such a dangerous terrain, no matter who guards it, it can be guaranteed!"
Shi Liancheng said: "Brother Huyan, there is no need to be modest. I have written a report on the achievements and battle conditions of Brother Huyan and his soldiers and sent it to Bianliang!" Huyan Bixian was grateful. Although Huyan Bixian's credit for guarding Fengyu County is not false at all, it is also very grateful that his superiors can report his credit in detail instead of taking it as his own. At all times and in all countries, no matter what era or country it is, it is very common for a boss to take the credit of his subordinates. Therefore, a broad-minded boss is worthy of respect and gratitude in any era or country.
Shi Liancheng frowned and said: "The current situation is still not optimistic. The Bagan army is already attacking Longwei Pass. Sun Xizheng is leading 50,000 Hanzhong troops to resist the enemy. The battle is stalemate. The enemy is attacking fiercely, and this Pu Lipeng is determined The main thing is to fight us to the death!" He raised his finger and pointed to the Tianzhu military camp at the foot of the mountain, "And the Tianzhu people are even more massive and have strong military strength. Although we have the natural danger of Fengyu County, we must not take it lightly!" Hu Yanbi Xian clasped his fists and said: "General, I understand! Now that we have these 50,000 reinforcements, we will be more confident in guarding Fengyu County! General..."
Shi Liancheng turned to look over and said angrily: "Brother Huyan, you and I were the first to follow His Majesty. Your Majesty is worthy of brothers like us. You and I are brothers, why should we be so alienated! You should still call me Brother Shi as before. Good!" Hu Yanbi showed a look of embarrassment on his face and said, "Well, I will be very grateful for the great general's love. However, the situation now is different from that of the past. Your Majesty and I have a brotherly relationship. Naturally, our feelings have never changed, but His Majesty is already the most respected person, and the General is also my superior. If we continue to treat each other as brothers, I'm afraid it will give others a bad impression!" Shi Liancheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll wait. You should keep public and private affairs separate and have a clear conscience, why should you care what others say!"
Seeing that Huyan Bixian was still looking so embarrassed, he was very bored and said: "Since Brother Huyan feels inconvenienced, that's up to you!" Then he said angrily: "Brother Huyan, you are good at everything, you are just so indecisive. His character is not good!" Huyan Bixian smiled bitterly.
Shi Liancheng said: "Brother Huyan, what did you want to say just now?"
Hu Yanbixian thought of what he wanted to say and immediately said: "The last time the Tianzhu people came to attack, Fengyu County almost fell because a group of Tianzhu elites came around our back from the Diancang Mountain path and launched a surprise attack while I was unprepared. The general believes that the lessons from the past are not far away, and we should learn from them. What the general means is to send some small troops to use the local fellows as guides to enter the Diancang Mountain and seize the small roads that can cross the Diancang Mountain."
Shi Liancheng nodded and said: "That's exactly what I meant. I really ignored this matter at the beginning, thinking that the mountains in Diancang Mountain were so contiguous and dangerous that it would be difficult for the enemy to climb over them. However, I didn't expect that they would actually cross Diancang Mountain with elite troops and light equipment. Raid!"
Huyan Bixian said: "Fortunately, there is no real road in Diancang Mountain that can allow the army to pass, otherwise the consequences would be really disastrous!"
Shi Liancheng said: "Just do what you want." Hu Yanbi showed his promise with clasped fists.
Shi Liancheng said: "By the way, eldest brother is already on his way to Sichuan." Hu Yanbi looked surprised and asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty is coming?"
Shi Liancheng shook his head and said: "Big brother will sit in Sichuan to cheer us up, but he will not come to the front line in person." Hu Yanbixian was excited and felt very stressed, and then frowned and said: "If your Majesty can send us some Reinforcements would be great! Although the current enemies are not as powerful as us, they are as numerous as ants. It really feels like they are overwhelming to kill!"
Shi Liancheng smiled and said: "Big brother has sent reinforcements, four hundred thousand!"
Hu Yanbi was greatly surprised, "Four hundred thousand!?"
Shi Liancheng nodded and said with a smile: "Don't be too happy. Although there are 400,000 people, they are all civilian troops mobilized in the past month."
Hu Yanbixian's eyes bulged: "The people's army?" Then he said depressedly: "What use can the people's army be!" Shi Liancheng waved his hand and said: "You can't say that, the people's army should also be useful." Then he thought about it. Said: "Brother not only wants to defeat the enemy and obtain the land of Dali this time, but also wants to test the military mobilization system and the combat effectiveness of the civilian army!" He glanced at Huyan Bixian and smiled: "Don't underestimate it. People's Army! When the Khitans marched southward, the people's army from all over the country assisted the official army to fight against the Khitans, which also played a big role! At that time, Gao Hu gathered various people's armies to prepare to counterattack the Khitans and regain the rivers and mountains in one fell swoop. If it weren't for the imperial court's obstruction, If we don’t provide food, grass, ordnance, it might not be our Ming army’s turn to recover the Central Plains!”
Hu Yanbixian frowned and said: "What the general said makes sense. However, I still can't rest assured. Don't ask our main force to split up our troops for rescue when we are too busy to help. That would be a big deal!"
Shi Liancheng smiled and said: "That is also possible. But whether it is a mule or a horse, I have to take it out for a walk to find out. To be honest, I am a little worried about it." Then he remembered another thing. He smiled and said: "Brother must have the same worries as us, so he has ordered Duan Zhixian to lead an army of 100,000 directly under the army to come south for reinforcements. This is to deal with the worst case scenario." Hu Yanbixian couldn't help but feel that when he heard this He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I feel more relieved now!"
Then he asked: "General, you should already have a plan to defeat the enemy in front of you, right?"
Shi Liancheng looked at the Tianzhu Army camp at the foot of the mountain and said, "I have thought of two plans." He turned back and looked at Hu Yanbixian, "I was about to discuss it with you. One plan is to rely on Longweiguan and Fengyu County. Hold on to the dangerous terrain, and use this generation of dangerous terrain to consume the enemy's vitality and offensive spirit. Wait until the enemy is exhausted and exhausted, then launch a full-scale counterattack. This plan is very safe, but it is difficult to truly defeat the enemy. We can only force them back, and we will inevitably spend a lot of money in all aspects during this period of persistence."
Huyan Bixian nodded thoughtfully and said, "This plan is very practical, I think it's very good."
Shi Liancheng said: "I also thought of another plan." After a pause, he said his second plan. Hu Yanbixian had a look of horror on his face, obviously frightened by the boldness of this plan. When Shi Liancheng finished speaking, Hu Yanbixian wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed: "The general is a general after all, but he still wants to do this under the current circumstances!"
Shi Liancheng smiled and asked, "Brother Huyan, do you think my second plan is not good?"
Hu Yanbixian swallowed, shook his head and said: "It's not bad, it's just too bold! Has the general thought about it? If something goes wrong in this plan, I'm afraid we will have to withdraw from Dali!"
Shi Liancheng said: "If it succeeds, not only will Dali be ours, but it will also lay a very solid foundation for the subsequent march."
Hu Yanbixian said with some worry: "The Bagan people have an army of 500,000 people. Our army can currently only assemble half of their troops. It will be very difficult to defeat them in one fell swoop! What if the main force fails to arrive in time as planned? Defeating the Bagan army, we were bitten back by the Bagan army. At the same time, the Tianzhu army came to our aid and attacked us from both front and rear. The consequences would be very serious. The entire battlefield situation might collapse in an instant. Our army could only break out to the north. There is only one way to go, and it is still unknown how many people will be able to break out in the end.”
Shi Liancheng smiled calmly, "Of course there are risks. There is no risk in fighting on the battlefield!" There was a look of pride on his face, "I want to see if the Bagan people can withstand our army with twice the strength. Attack!" Seeing Shi Liancheng say this, Hu Yanbixian couldn't help but be inspired with pride. However, thinking about the consequences of failure, he couldn't help but worry in his heart. He just felt that Shi Liancheng's plan was too risky. If it fails, the whole of Dali will be lost, that's all. If the army falls into the siege of Bagan and Tianzhu people and is completely wiped out, Sichuan and Guangnan West Road may be in danger.
Shi Liancheng returned to Dali City on the same day to make arrangements. He left fifty thousand Hanzhong troops, namely Huyan Bixian, and nearly ten thousand troops under his command to guard Fengyu County, that is, the front line of Diancang Mountain, with Huyan Bixian as the commander-in-chief and fully responsible for it. Shi Liancheng's plan was very clear, which was to use Huyan Bixian to lead his army to block and contain the Tianzhu army in Fengyu County, while he gathered the rest of the troops and waited for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Bagan army that was attacking Longwei Pass, hoping to defeat Bagan in one go. army, and then use all their strength to deal with the Tianzhu army, and then they will be in an invincible position. However, Shi Liancheng can currently only assemble about 230,000 troops from the Yanyun Army and about 40,000 surrendered Dali troops, for a total of 270,000 troops, while the Bagan army has 500,000 troops. The strength comparison is almost one to two. . Moreover, the Bagan people also have a war elephant army composed of 2,000 war elephants. It is not easy for Shi Liancheng to defeat the Bagan army of 500,000 with these 270,000 troops. If he fails to do so, he will be self-defeating and defeat the tiger. The situation of being injured by a tiger.
Inside an ordinary private courtyard in Dali City. Five people gathered in a bedroom, the door was closed, and the door was heavily guarded. Among the five people, the one sitting in the main seat was none other than Mo Haotian. The other four people, two in their thirties and two in their forties or fifties, were all wearing ordinary Dali folk clothes. But they all have fair skin and look excited.
The middle-aged man in his forties or fifties sitting on the left said excitedly: "The Tianzhu and Bagan people have made a comeback. The Tianzhu people have an army of nearly 600,000, and the Bagan people have an army of nearly 500,000. These 110 It is not as easy for a hundred thousand troops to deal with the Ming Dynasty as the autumn wind sweeps away fallen leaves!" The person who spoke was named Duan Hongming, a member of the Dali royal family. He had long been away from the power field, but he was one of the richest nobles in the original Dali. One-third of the hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land around Erhai Lake belongs to him. After the Ming Dynasty occupied Cangshan and Erhai Lake, it immediately implemented the Ming Dynasty's land policy. Although the common people were happy, it greatly offended traditional nobles like Duan Hongming. These traditional nobles hated Yan Yun deeply. If possible, they would I really want to eat all the Ming people alive. Because according to the land policy of the Ming Dynasty, Duan Hongming and others had to sell a large amount of land in their hands at a low price. This was something that traditional nobles like them could not bear no matter what.
The five people present, except Mo Haotian, the other four are all local traditional nobles in Dali. Except for Duan Hongming, among the other three, there is a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties with a somewhat gloomy face named Xiao Wa. He is the contemporary head of the aristocratic Xiao family. He is from the Baiyi tribe. There are two other young people in their thirties. The one with a somewhat impulsive look is named Bai Nong, who is Han from Dali. The other young man with a very calm look is named Cheng He. , Han nationality in Dali. These four people were representatives of Dali's local traditional aristocracy, and they could not accept the Ming Dynasty's occupation of Cangshan and Erhai. Therefore, under Mo Haotian's instigation and lobbying, they came together with Mo Haotian.
After listening to Duan Hongming's words, the other three nodded in agreement. Bai Nong said loudly: "Although I don't understand military affairs, I also know that with such a disparity in military strength, there is no way for the Ming Dynasty to win! We should immediately get in touch with the Tianzhu and Bagan people, and after negotiating terms with them, help them Defeat the evil Ming army and restore peace to Dali!"
Xiao Wa nodded and said: "That's it! We can organize all the servants, and there is absolutely no problem in gathering seven or eight thousand people!"
Cheng He thought: "We can't cooperate with the people of Tianzhu and Bagan at the same time. We must choose one. It should be noted that the result of working in two boats will not be wonderful. Between the people of Tianzhu and Bagan, it is obvious that the strength of the Tianzhu people is stronger There are so many, we should cooperate wholeheartedly with the Tianzhu people! We help the Tianzhu people seize Cangshan Erhai, and the Tianzhu people will definitely guarantee our interests in Cangshan Erhai!" The nobles nodded with deep understanding.
Mo Haotian said: "You are thinking too simplistic!" The four of them looked at Mo Haotian in confusion. Bai Nong asked angrily: "Haotian, what do you mean?" Haotian, it turned out that the four people present were People don't know Mo Haotian's real name and think his name is just Haotian. Although Mo Haotian cooperated with these nobles, he still kept a secret.
Mo Haotian frowned and said: "The Ming army is by no means as simple as you think! Although the current situation is unfavorable for the Ming Dynasty, if the Tianzhu and Bagan people are sure of victory, I'm afraid it won't be possible!"
Everyone felt that Mo Haotian's words were very harsh and couldn't help but frown. Bai Nong said angrily: "Haotian, why are you speaking for Ming Dynasty!"
Mo Haotian said: "It's not easy to say nice things, but what's the use! We must face reality! Not long ago, Duan Zhichun united with the Tianzhu army and the Bagan army to attack Dali, but in the end they were severely beaten by the Ming army. Win or lose, the lessons learned are not far away, you won't just forget it!" After hearing this, the four people's faces became ugly. Of course, the four of them knew about the war not long ago, but they just subconsciously didn't want to think about it.
Mo Haotian continued: "As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. We must have a good idea of the strength of the Ming Dynasty. There is no doubt that the strength of the Ming Dynasty's army is strong! This strength includes well-equipped and properly commanded troops, as well as Their ferocity! We must clearly realize that although the Ming army is evil, it is extremely ferocious. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are like wolves and tigers!" Mo Haotian said this naturally because he was really in his heart. He thought this way, but also because he hoped to use this method to eliminate the negligent attitude in the hearts of everyone present. He believed that if these people still held such a negligent attitude, they would not only kill themselves, but also implicate him. .
Everyone felt very unhappy after hearing Mo Haotian's words. Bai Nong said angrily: "Listening to you saying this, it sounds like you are from the Ming Dynasty!"
Mo Haotian said seriously: "If you can't face the ferocity and cunning of the tiger, you will only be eaten by the tiger!"
Although everyone was unwilling to accept what Mo Haotian said, they could not find words to refute.
Cheng He asked, "So what does Haotian think we should do?" Others also looked at Mo Haotian.
Mo Haotian said: "We must not act rashly for the time being! Although the situation seems to be very unfavorable to the Ming Army, past lessons tell us that it is too early to say that the Ming Army will be defeated at this time! The Ming Army has been in similar unfavorable situations many times. We will turn defeat into victory! If we take action now, what if the people of Tianzhu and Bagan are finally defeated by the Ming Dynasty, and we will die without a burial place!"
Everyone was shocked and couldn't help but nodded. Bai Nong whispered: "I don't believe that the Ming army can turn defeat into victory under such a disadvantage!" Although he said this, he did not dare to insist on his opinion anymore.
Mo Haotian said: "What we have to do at this time is to stay calm and not let the people of Ming Dynasty get started. When the situation becomes clear, it will not be too late for us to act."
Everyone nodded, and Bai Nong asked: "When will the situation become clear?" The other three people also had the same question and turned to look at Mo Haotian.
Mo Haotian thought: "It shouldn't be very far. I think within half a month, the situation should be clear." Bai Nong nodded and said: "Then let's board it for half a month!" Cheng He frowned and asked Said: "But if the situation develops completely differently than we expected, and the Tianzhu and Bagan people are overwhelming, and they come before we have time to contact them, wouldn't that be a disaster?"
Mo Haotian said confidently: "There is no need to worry about this at all. I have always been in contact with the Tianzhu and Bagan people. As long as the situation becomes clear, my people can immediately communicate with them on your behalf, and there will be no problem." !”
The four of them looked at each other, and Duan Hongming said: "That can't be done, our people must be involved!" The other three nodded with deep understanding.
Mo Haotian smiled and said: "You guys don't trust me very much!" Bai Nong said: "It has nothing to do with trust or distrust. This kind of thing is related to your wealth and life, so you should always be more cautious!" Mo Haotian nodded. "Okay, you just send people you trust, and I will make arrangements for them to go with my people to contact the Bagan people from Tianzhu." The four of them nodded with satisfaction. Mo Haotian said: "It is necessary to maintain contact, but please do not take any action here for the time being! In addition, it is best for the four of you to use pseudonyms when contacting Tianzhu Bagan, so as not to implicate you in case the Ming army wins. Come out." The four of them nodded.
Outside Fengyu County, there is a large tent of Tianzhu people. Duan Zhichun received the call and hurried to the big tent. When I saw Kshatriya, the Grand Marshal of India, he looked excited, I couldn't help but feel strange in my heart, and bowed and saluted: "Generalissimo."
What happened after all, let’s see what happens next.
