The First Champion Chapter 338

Although Yang Lin was incapable of entering the palace, he had a capable brother, Yang Jian.This "old woman" controls the police department and is almost inseparable from the officials. In Liang Shicheng's eyes, she is more annoying than a lingering fly.

Right now, the "flies" are chattering about You Yan again, and now Zhao Ji likes to hear this, laughing happily.Liang Shicheng's teeth itch with hatred, and he just secretly scolded Tong Guan for not living up to his expectations, and there is no reason why he was killed by someone.

At this time, a small servant outside came in holding a treasure box, and Zhao Ji's eyes lit up when he saw it.

The little servant bowed his waist and bowed his head and said: "Guan, this is the elixir presented by the Yang family. There are two in total this month."

Zhao Ji frowned slightly, and said, "Why is one grain missing?"

"It is difficult to complete three grains except for the few slaughters."

Zhao Ji was not disappointed. These three elixirs were his monthly necessities, and he would stare at them eagerly every time he finished eating them.In order to improve his own sense of existence, Yang Lin gave him one or two less from time to time, sometimes because the aura of heaven and earth is leaking out, sometimes because the stars are dim, which is not suitable for alchemy, anyway, it just hangs your appetite.

This trick really worked. Although Yang Lin was away for half a year, Zhao Ji, who loved the new and disliked the old, still talked about him every day.

Liang Shicheng, who was at the side, was moved in his heart, elixir?As an old eunuch who was used to seeing the turmoil in the forbidden world, he didn't really believe in elixir.

This Yang Lin, the son of a merchant from Yangzhou, got a cheap champion by buying off Cai Jing and Yang Jian. I checked out his old background. His father is an obese and incompetent merchant. Where did he come from? .

Thinking of this, Liang Shicheng narrowed his eyes, staring at the exquisite and extravagant small box

Chapter 394 Blossoms Everywhere

The situation in Youyan changed suddenly, King Yeluchun of Yan was heroic, and killed all his relatives.

As a result, Yelu Dashi, who stayed behind, became the actual controller of Yanjing City. Yelu Dashi, who didn't want to die in Yanjing in vain, chose to ask Yang Lin for help.

On the condition that Emperor Shuo and Liao accepted him, Yanjing was obtained for nothing. On this day, the army marched out and entered the main city.

The Jurchens outside the city were surprisingly calm, as if they were sitting and watching them enter the city, and the killings and looting around them have been much lighter in recent days.

After driving to the city, the soldiers were all rejoicing, this is the city of Yanjing, and the history books of later generations will definitely record this day, and add endless praise.Yang Lin, the commander-in-chief of the three armies, rode into the city with a calm expression. He pulled the reins and even had no intention of watching Yanjing City.

Han Shizhong, who had already prepared for a fierce battle on the top of the city, scratched his head and said to himself: "It's weird, why is this golden dog so quiet? Could it be some trick?"

"What the hell, the young masters have already entered the city, so I'm afraid they'll be like moths." Hu Yantong scolded nonchalantly.

Han Shizhong nodded his head and said, "That's right, leave him alone, the thieves and Tartars have nothing to fear, now we have captured half of the military prefecture in Youyan, and we will kill them all on the land of Youyan as soon as possible. The brothers in the city will take revenge. Go, follow me to meet Shaozai."

Many people in the city are no longer afraid of the Song army. Compared with the former Liao soldiers, these new soldiers who entered the city are more like their own army guarding the city.

Han Shizhong was born in the Western Army, and the Western Army is known for its lax military discipline, but after this Po Hanwu established his own army, he established strict military discipline.To put it bluntly, the poor discipline of the Western Army at the beginning was due to the intentional manipulation of the Northwest General. Because there was no food and supplies, it was necessary to support the war with war.

As a low-level veteran, Han Shizhong didn't understand the importance of strict military discipline to a newly established team, so the place where the army was established was very restrained, so that orders could be banned.Especially when they started fighting in places like Dali and Tubo, if they were not careful, they would easily arouse the resistance of the local Tibetans, and the gains outweighed the losses.

So these Song troops have controlled Yanjing for a long time, and the people are relieved. Compared with their fellow countrymen in the north outside the city, their situation is considered good.

To the north of the Gaoliang River, it was already a purgatory-like Shura area at this time, and these common people watched the Song army entering the city curiously.Although no major war broke out on the border between Song and Liao, there were frequent small fights, so there were very few people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.

The people of Yanjing, many of their customs and clothes still retain the legacy of the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, so they can't help pointing and criticizing these soldiers of the old country.

Han Shizhong and others pushed aside the crowd, and when they saw Yang Lin, their expressions were overjoyed, and they stepped forward to lead the horse and said, "Young master."

Yang Lin woke up from his contemplation, looked down, jumped off his horse and walked side by side with them: "In Yanjing City, it is still peaceful, we must restrain our soldiers and not disturb the people. We have just taken this place, the most important thing for us is Stabilize people's hearts and manage well, and then they are firmly in their hands. The so-called strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snake, and some small things can be retreated. trouble, understand?"

"Don't worry, Shao Zai, there are a few noisy ones, and they have already been thrown into the moat." After Han Shizhong finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Young Zai, Yelu Dashi is very knowledgeable. His Khitan soldiers and horses hardly leave the barracks. It's just that every day Send someone to ask you when you will enter the city, do you want him to come and see you?"

Yang Lin patted him on the shoulder, with an unnatural expression on his face, and said, "No, I'll see you when I'm free."

Han Shizhong immediately sensed something strange, logically speaking, Shao Zai entered the city, no matter what the peace was, he should meet him first, right?Could it be that there is another scheming plan.

As expected, Yang Lin called Han Shizhong and the others over after arriving at a small courtyard that had been cleaned up. He frowned and said, "I have sent people to negotiate peace with the Jurchen Tartars."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone in the audience was shocked, discussing peace?It's only been a few days since the fight, so it's time to negotiate a peace.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Yang Lin immediately said: "Our army of the Great Song Dynasty only needs to protect the territory of the Song Dynasty. Why do we have to sacrifice our lives for the Khitan people? To put it bluntly, the Khitan people don't ride on our heads for a few days. Just Last year, the imperial court also paid 20 Guan of old coins, how many people will be supported by this money?"

Everyone understands the truth, but it's not appropriate for you to sell them in the blink of an eye just after forming an alliance with them.The benefits brought to the Song Dynasty by the Song-Liao Covenant have already been obtained. It is too cruel for the Liao people to tear up the contract at this time.

Han Shizhong asked: "Shao Zai, what are the conditions for peace negotiation?"

"The Jurchens withdrew from Youyan, and our people withdrew from Yunzhou Prefecture. I didn't go to attack Khitan. Is it already kind? When the Central Plains was in chaos, these people took advantage of their officials as civilian officials, and they only used their brains and mouths to deceive people. Even taking back Youyan can turn such a battle into a power play.

After getting up, he went outside the small courtyard and took a few breaths of fresh air. The corners of Yang Lin's mouth broke into a smile unexpectedly.He didn't fully explain the strategic strategy in his chest to the generals in the account, because he wanted to keep it secret, so that only he knew it.

Take Youyan back?That's too underestimating me, the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, in addition to the ten military prefectures of Youyan, there are six near Yunzhou.In case the Jurchen soldiers that Wanyan Wu begged to buy arrived at Yunzhou Prefecture smoothly, and Yao Pingzhong withdrew his troops again, then Yelu Yanxi would be finished.Datong Mansion in Yunzhou and the entire Xijing Road are bound to fall into the hands of Jurchen, why?That is the real homeland of the Han family, Youyan is, and Yunzhou is even more so.

The Jurchen Tartars want to burn and kill Yandi for a while, and then leave easily. This is just a dream. I first trick you into withdrawing your troops to Yunzhou, and then let Yao Pingzhong’s soldiers withdraw from Yunzhou to Youyan under false pretenses. On the way to Youyan, the two armies will meet.

At that time, Lao Tzu waved the command flag, and You Yan Er's 10,000+ soldiers and horses, and the Western Army under Yao Pingzhong's command, flanked back and forth.If you don't wipe out half of the main force of your Jurchen Tartars, what will you do in the future?We negotiated a peace secretly, you thought it was cheating the Khitan, and then it will make you suffer and can't tell.To the Khitan, they only said that they were withdrawing their troops and begging to buy the troops in order to defeat Yan Wu. The Khitan people couldn't say anything other than gratitude, but at that time, the remaining mountains and rivers of the Khitan and Yelu Yanxi gathered together the troops. Not much left.

This time is the best opportunity, as long as he and Yao Pingzhong win a big victory, the Khitans are bound to revolt in the vast territory of Khitan that was just conquered.

For Jurchen to control such a large empire from a small tribe, there must be internal and external troubles. By then, they will probably not fight themselves in Youyun.Even if they wanted to fight, Song Jiang should have finished dealing with Karhan in the Western Regions at that time. At that time, it would be a big deal for soldiers to fight against generals, and fight openly and squarely.The Great Song Dynasty now has a strong army and horses, and internal worries have been calmed down. Dali, Tubo, and Xixia have also been included in the Song Dynasty, so there is nothing to be afraid of just fighting.We couldn't fight without the barrier of Youyun, but now with the defense of the city, it is the worst thing to be able to defend against the enemy outside the country.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin smiled even more happily. It happened that there was a delicate and beautiful peach blossom in the small courtyard. I am used to the bloody wind, the smoke everywhere, the smell of horses, the broken swords and arrows, and there should be a day full of flowers, um, fragrant!"

Chapter 395 Reorganize the old rivers and mountains of Youyan

The Jurchens outside Yanjing City began to gather troops and soldiers.

The defenders in the city looked as if they were facing a big enemy, but the generals were a little relaxed. Everyone already knew that the young minister was going to negotiate peace with the Jurchen.

The south gate of Yanjing City has even been opened occasionally to accept refugees into the city to escape the disaster of war.

Among these people, it is inevitable that there are scouts from various forces, but the inspection at the gate is not very strict. Now I am not afraid of your spying, there is nothing shameful in Yanjing City.

The powerful people of Yandi, those who did not turn against Song and Jin in everything, all fell into bad luck.The Song people cleaned it once, and the Jin people came again. They were lucky to escape once, and the next Jurchen looting.

These people are like Xujiazhuang in Mizhou. They all have their own private soldiers, their own land and fortresses, but they are still weak if they want to fight against an army of Song and Jin's size.

The atmosphere of this matter became subtle, Yelu Dashi in Yanjing City did not leave the barracks at all, just waiting patiently.For him, if he really returns to Yunzhou, all kinds of results can't be regarded as good results, but only a little worse.

According to Yelu Yanxi's temperament as a faint king, it is impossible to allow him to return to Khitan and use him at ease.If Yelu Yanxi had this measure, why would it be here.

If they really surrendered to Yelu Yanxi's Pian'an court, the best result would be to go back to the remnants of Khitan and become an idle clan.So in Yelu Dashi's mind, what he actually wanted was to lead this group of Khitan soldiers and become a general with military power in his hands.

Generals are not allowed to accept military orders abroad, as long as they have soldiers and horses, they can find a place to settle down in Khitan, so why worry about Yelu Yanxi not coming to win him over.In this troubled world, there may be a chance to make a career.

So for Yelu Dashi, this period of time is extremely precious, and he must take this opportunity to completely control the old troops of King Yan under his command.Among them are tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers and horses, and another 2 are the Eighth Battalion of the Resentment Army.

The Eighth Battalion of the Resentment Army is an army composed of Han soldiers and Youyan Han'er. These people may not leave their homes and go to unknown places with him to settle down.
