[Comprehensive] One Hundred Ways to Rob the Protagonist

Chapter 117 The General of the Yang Family 35

The court ladies came and went like butterflies among flowers.A court lady stepped forward to pour wine for Yelu Longxu, and said in a low voice when she leaned over: "The wine is enough."

This is to tell him that the Khitan army is all in place and ready to launch an attack at any time, so let him prepare carefully and find an opportunity to retreat.When Yelu Longxu withdraws, the organs of the ancient palace will also be activated.

This time, the action to wipe out all the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty has quietly begun.

Almost at the same time, the sound of Qingyue Xun also sounded outside the ancient palace, Yang Dalang raised his wine glass and signaled to Yelu Longxu.The smiles on their faces were equally sincere.

Yelu Longxu drank the wine in the glass, got up slightly drunk, raised his hand to Yang Dalang, turned around and walked towards the back of the hall.Everyone could tell that he was drinking too much and had to change his clothes, especially the strides that he tried to restrain, even though he controlled everything, he still revealed a trace of eagerness.

Several Song generals couldn't help laughing, discussing in low voices, nothing more than, after all, a child, can't hold alcohol, Khitan established such a young king, I'm afraid the future is not good, and so on.

Yang Dalang sneered in his heart, these people chased after Zhao Guangyi every day to flatter and flatter him, did he know that Zhao Guangyi had already escaped and left them here to attract the attention of the Khitan people?Up to now, they haven't had any vigilance, but feel that the little emperor on the other side is young and can be bullied.A 17-year-old boy dared to go into battle to lure the enemy himself, how could he be treated as a child?

He stood up and followed Yelu Longxu towards the rear of the hall.

Yelu Longxu was startled, and controlled himself not to turn his head, nor to show an overly eager look, so as not to be seen by the other party.

The small door on the side of the main hall goes around, and there is a gorgeously decorated changing place.Before that, the Khitan people specially prepared two different rooms, one for the emperor of Song and one for Yelu Longxu.It was in the front room that Yang Dalang changed into Zhao Guangyi's clothes and disguised himself as Zhao Guangyi.

And Zhao Guangyi took his personal guards to climb out of the wall from the side, and left the ancient palace along the path.

As a landlord, Yelu Longxu might not even need to climb over the wall if he wanted to slip away from here.Yelu Longxu turned into the changing room, and there was a secret door in the room of the changing room, which opened quietly, and he walked out with someone.

Just two steps away, someone came out from the front and blocked the road: "The feast is not finished yet, Your Majesty can't go first." The man in a bright yellow dragon robe, with a dark face and a strong body, smiled affectionately.However, Yelu Longxu took a step back and let his old guard step forward to block between the two of them.

Up to now, Yelu Longxu certainly understands that his plan has been seen by the other party.However, the renovation of the ancient palace is in the charge of his own people, and the maids and servants in the ancient palace are all Khitan people. Even if the Song Emperor's guards are about the same number as his own, he will have the upper hand when there is a quarrel.

What's more, the Song Emperor is old now, but he practiced riding and shooting hard every day, so how could he be afraid of him?

"If you don't want to enjoy yourself to your heart's content, why don't you come to Beijing as a guest with me. I have all the fine wines for your Majesty to drink every day." Yelu Longxu replied with a smile.

This made Yang Dalang give Yelu Longxu a high look.It's just that young people are bold and bold, thinking that they have already grasped the situation, so they don't hide it anymore, but they don't know who in this world doesn't have a backup.

Yang Dalang took two steps forward, and was immediately stopped by the Khitan guards vigilantly.With a smile and a wave of his arms, the two old guards couldn't help but retreat.

Babble, swords were unsheathed one after another.Not only the guards of Yelu Longxu, but also the guards behind Yang Dalang also drew their weapons.

"Why is that so?" Yang Dalang knocked over a guard in front of him with a punch, and at the same time drew out the sword at his waist with his backhand.This is the treasured sword hidden in Zhao Guangyi's palace, the sword's light is like snow, and the coldness is overwhelming, Yang Dalang couldn't help but secretly shouted "Hello", and cut off the arm of the Khitan Suwei in front of him with one strike.

"Your Majesty will stay with me in Tokyo for a few years first, and then talk about other things." Yang Dalang said in his mouth, but his hands were merciless.Some of the guards behind him didn't know that he was Yang Dalang, but thought that the officials were so brave, how could they let the officials charge ahead?They shouted together and rushed forward, fighting with the Khitans.

Yelu Longxu was not afraid either, he raised his saber to meet Yang Dalang, and started a close fight with him.After a few face-to-face encounters, he discovered that the other party was very skilled and experienced, and definitely not the old man he imagined.

The sound of fighting sounded, and everyone in the front hall also realized that something was wrong, so they got up immediately and rushed over, but they packed a small back hall to the brim.It was impossible for Yelu Longxu to leave silently now.

The clever entourage has already rushed out of the ancient palace, rushed to his army, and called for reinforcements.The armies on both sides were well prepared, and the general ordered the attack immediately.Almost at the same time, both sides sent elites to the ancient palace, wanting to be the first to pick up their own monarch, and it would be best to capture the other side's emperor.

So, the two elite teams fought on the golden beach in front of the palace.

The Qianjin gate had been installed in the ancient palace long ago, and it was originally intended to be released after Yelu Longxu left, so that the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty would be locked in it, and the urn would be used to catch turtles.But now that Yelu Longxu and Yang Dalang are fighting at close quarters, the Khitan who control the organization dare not do anything at all.

In just a few dozen rounds, Yelu Longxu had already lost.Speaking of fighting alone, how could he be the opponent of Yang Dalang, who is in his prime and experienced?

The Khitan guards protected Yelu Longxu and retreated to a corner.With a bang, the wall in the corner collapsed, and a group of Khitan soldiers rushed in, protecting Yelu Longxu and retreating.This is the back road they left behind, and the walls have been deliberately made thinner so that they can easily break in.

Yang Dalang laughed: "Your Majesty, go slowly." He stopped chasing and led his people to the front of the hall.

The Khitan palace people who received the order finally lowered the thousand-jin gate and completely closed the door leading to the outside world from the hall.

The Khitan army guarded the corner of the wall that had just collapsed, and mobilized people to pile up the wall, so that the goal of trapping the monarchs and officials of the Song Dynasty in the ancient palace could still be achieved.

It was only when Yelu Longxu retreated to his army that he felt relieved.The emperor of the Song Dynasty was a hero, but unfortunately, they were destined to be enemies.

Yelu Xiezhen and Han Derang led the troops to encircle from the two wings respectively. The Khitan main force was [-], besieging the Song army with only half of their own number, and on the golden sand beach that they had arranged in advance.

Standing on a high place and watching, Yang Ye found that Cao Bin's army had already retreated dozens of miles away, and he had no intention of coming to rescue at all.If he hadn't known all this in advance, he would have been filled with sadness and prepared to die here.But now, he just smiled coldly, and began to dispatch manpower to meet the enemy.

Chu Tianshu led the people directly to the gate of the palace. She jumped off the horse, stretched out her hand and pressed a few times on the heavy stone gate, and then took a step back.

With a snap of his fingers, there was a low blasting sound.The huge stone gate unexpectedly cracked open, pieces of rubble of about the same size rolled down, and a hole was abruptly blasted open.

The hem of the bright yellow clothes flickered, and Yang Dalang stepped out from the door.

Seeing Yang Dalang in a bright yellow dragon robe, all the Song soldiers shouted joyfully: "Long live and peace!" "God bless the Song Dynasty!"

Yang Dalang got on the imperial chariot left by Zhao Guangyi and looked down at the battlefield below.

The Khitan army had surrounded them from three directions. The Khitan army, whose number was twice that of the Song army, was full of confidence. The Yang family's army had fought against the Khitan for many years and had rich experience.

At this moment, a black armored cavalry rushed in from the side of the Khitan army, led by a tall general holding a steel gun, invincible.At the same time, Chu Tianshu also led a team to attack the same position.

The two of them directly tore a big hole in the Khitan front.

The Yang family's army guarded the imperial chariot and the emperor's guard of honor, and walked towards the increasingly widening gap.

Seeing the general leading the black armored cavalry, Yelu Longxu's eyes turned red.Xie Kun!

"Whoever kills Xie Kun will be rewarded!" Yelu Longxu stood up abruptly, pointed in Xie Kun's direction and shouted.

However, several famous Khitan warriors stepped forward one after another, but Xie Kun easily picked them off. Not only did they fail to avenge the Empress Dowager Xiao, but the Khitan morale suffered a considerable blow.

Yelu Longxu watched Xie Kun bring his own cavalry to join the army of Song State, and the emperor of Song State also stood up from the imperial chariot, beckoning to Xie Kun with a kind face—he even recruited Xie Kun to the imperial chariot. Chariot, sit with me!

Yelu Longxu glared at the two people on the bright yellow imperial chariot opposite. Xie Kun was treated so courteously by the Emperor of Song because he assassinated his mother?

In front of the formation of the two armies, in front of 10,000+ soldiers and civil and military officials from the Song and Liao countries, Yang Dalang held Xie Kun's hand and raised it up, declaring loudly: "I am the grandson of Song Tai/Zhao Kun, the son of Wei Wang, Brave and powerful, with the world in mind, he personally led the cavalry to fight hard on the border for several years, protecting the people of the Song Dynasty. Recently, he broke into the enemy's camp alone and beheaded the enemy's chieftain, the Xiao family, with outstanding feats!"

"I swear before the bed of Tai/Ancestor that after a hundred years, I will pass on the throne to the descendants of Tai/Ancestor."

"Zhao Kun's deep Xiao Tai/ancestor, I am very relieved. I hereby declare to the world that Zhao Kun will be appointed as the reserve, to participate in political affairs, and to be the governor of Kaifeng. After a hundred years from me, the world will be handed over to Zhao Kun!"

"Emperor Heaven and Empress Dowager are a lesson, and everyone here today is a witness. Anyone who violates my words will be rejected by the world!"

Yang Dalang's words were heard clearly by the guards and ministers who followed him.During the fight just now, those guards who knew Yang Dalang's identity had already been wiped out.The ministers who can be left here are not qualified to know Zhao Guangyi's plan to escape the golden cicada, so although they are shocked, they are not very resistant.

The loud voice in charge of shouting repeated the words of the "official" three times to ensure that everyone on the battlefield could hear them clearly.Hanlin, who followed the imperial chariot, received an order to draft an edict, and recorded the emperor's act of establishing a reserve in a formal and legal document.

Yelu Longxu gritted his teeth angrily when he heard that Xie Kun was actually Song Tai/ancestor's grandson and the future Song Emperor.He originally thought that he could capture the Emperor of Song and force him to hand over Xie Kun's family, but now it seems impossible.

The morale of the Khitan plummeted, but the morale of the Song army rose sharply because of the extraordinary bravery of the crown prince.

Not one of the Eight Tigers of the Yang Family Qilang was missing, and Xie Kun and Chu Tianshu were added, two even more terrifying generals.

The Khitan monarchs and ministers expected the favorable location and people to be ineffective. Instead, they were beaten by the Song army and fled with heavy casualties.The corpses of Khitan people were everywhere on the golden beach, and the blood dyed the yellow sand black and red.

However, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was so excited that he even rode into battle to chase the Khitan emperor himself, but was shot in the chest by an arrow from the Khitan warrior behind him.Everyone saw that the emperor of Song Dynasty fell off the horse clutching his chest, and was carried back to the chariot.

The armies of the two countries retreated separately, and the fighting was temporarily suspended.

In the evening, bad news came out that the emperor of the Song Dynasty died of serious injuries.Song Jun hung up the white flags, and all of them took off the red tassels and replaced them with white tassels, and there was a cry of mourning in the camp.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Cao Bin wanted to lead his troops back, but Chu Tianshu personally led them into the camp and asked him if he dared not to worship Taizong's heroic spirit.At that time, Chu Tianshu's hand was on the hilt of the sword. As long as Cao Bin dared to say no, she would immediately cut off Cao Bin's head with a single sword, and no one could blame her for her actions.Cao Bin's generals were not a solid body, and no one took the risk of offending the new king to stand up for Cao Bin. Chu Tianshu escorted Cao Bin to the Yang family's camp with ease.

Cao Bin's political ability is much stronger than his military ability. After Zhao Guangyi knelt on the ground and cried and mourned, he began to praise and compliment Xie Kun, calling Xie Kun the savior and guiding light of Song Dynasty , said that Zhao Guangyi has a unique vision and a broad mind, and he deserves to be the Mingjun of the Great Song Dynasty.

He knew that Zhao Guangyi escaped from the golden cicada's shell and killed two birds with one stone, and he could guess what happened in the middle.But since the son of King Wei had the ability to take down the Yang family army ahead of time, and blatantly killed Zhao Guangyi, his strength and scheming were not comparable to ordinary people.Cao Bin knew that as long as he showed any intention of opposing the prince of Wei, his head would immediately have to move.

After the sudden death of Tai/Zu, many people in the army were not convinced by Zhao Guangyi. Cao Bin was the first to stand up to support Zhao Guangyi, and because of this he became Zhao Guangyi's confidant; now, he naturally chose to know the current affairs and immediately transferred direction, and wholeheartedly supported Xie Kun, as if he had known about the existence of King Wei's son for a long time, and had also known from Zhao Guangyi's mouth that Zhao Guangyi valued King Wei's son.

Since Cao Bin was so knowledgeable, Xie Kun didn't kill him, and still retained his position as the coach of the East Road, but sent him a few deputies.

In the past two years, Xie Kun has cultivated a group of his confidants among the black wind horse thieves. They follow Cao Bin. Whenever Cao Bin dares to make any changes, Xie Kun will know immediately.

The Eastern Route Army was taken under his command, and Xie Kun's army strength had reached [-] to [-], which was enough to compete head-on with Khitan.

The Battle of Jinshatan was enough to impress all Khitan soldiers on the bravery of Xie Kun, Chu Tianshu and the Eight Tigers of the Yang family.Especially the first two, their bravery is far beyond their understanding of the word "brave".This makes the Khitan people who have always been proud of their toughness and bravery can't help being in awe.

The Khitan clan held a meeting, and agreed that the two sides had similar military strength, and the Song State had more powerful generals, so it would be difficult to gain benefits from fighting the Khitan head-on.

In addition, both the supreme rulers of Song and Liao died in this battle, and the new monarchs needed to devote most of their energy to balancing the domestic political situation.Therefore, the two parties finally reached an agreement under the city of Youzhou: Khitan returned the sixteen prefectures of Youyun to the Song State, and the Song State agreed to open a negotiating field on the border between the two countries to carry out trade under the government's control.The two countries are brotherly and friendly states, and they send envoys to each other and live in good neighborliness.

The new king of the Song Dynasty actually wandered around the border between the two countries for several years in the skin of a black wind horse thief. Not only did he plunder a lot of wealth, he also sneaked into the territory of Khitan for an unknown number of times, and he had a deep understanding of Khitan's national conditions.This led to the actions of the Khitan army in this war being completely expected by the enemy, the queen mother was assassinated, the battle of Jinshatan was also defeated, and the entire strategic goal was completely emptied.

At the clan meeting, someone pointed the finger at Yelu Molugu, thinking that he was the culprit for the failure of the Khitan Southern Expedition.If he hadn't concealed the true situation of the black wind horse thief, everything would not have evolved to this point.

Although Yelu Longxu felt that the matter was just a coincidence, even if Yelu Molugu started to raise this matter, I am afraid that no one in the Khitan at that time would pay attention to the little-known Xie Kun at that time, but the anger and hatred of the entire Khitan always needed An object of venting, Yelu Molugu had to bear this crime, was deprived of his official position, and closed his doors to think about his mistakes.

Both Song and Liao were in political turmoil. Yelu Longxu met with Han Derang and Yelu Xiezhen almost every day, trying his best to appease and intimidate those Khitan nobles, but Chu Tianshu was the only one Xie Kun wanted to appease.

"Tell me, why are you so high-profile this time?" Even though Xie Kun is now the de facto monarch, he is still very cautious and self-restraining, and only considers himself a prince, saying that he will send Zhao Guangyi's body back to Tokyo for burial. After entering the ancestral mausoleum, let's talk about enthronement.

In the Song camp, no one knew that the official of Xiao Chu was the most important person of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.For those who are well-informed, remembering the story of the official Xiao Chu and Princess Qionghua, which was widely spread in Tokyo at the beginning, there is a little more speculation about the relationship between the two.But no one dared to say anything in front of the two of them. One was that His Royal Highness, the crown prince, was usually calm and mighty. Even some veteran officials had an inexplicable awe in front of him; Although he is handsome and smiles when he speaks, they all saw countless dead souls shot by the officials of Xiao Chu on the battlefield. Later, Cao Bin was brought over by himself with a sword, which is not a good person.

So even if there were any guesses about the relationship between the two of them, no one dared to say it.

Xie Kun returned to Yanmen Pass with a mighty army, and all the officials who had received the order from the Central Plains also arrived at Yanmen Pass.

It has been 50 years since the Yanyun Sixteen States were given to foreigners by Shi Jingtang in the late Jin Dynasty.

The area of ​​Yanyun Sixteen States is not too large, but its strategic significance is very important. It is equivalent to a buffer zone from north to south, and it is a natural gateway.With the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the Central Plains Dynasty had a wall that kept the nomads out. On the contrary, the Central Plains Dynasty opened the door to the north and let the nomads go south.

Historically, Shi Jingtang handed over the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in order to gain the support of Khitan troops, which also exposed the Central Plains to the iron hooves of nomads and suffered threats of harassment for more than 300 years.It was not until Ming Tai/zu Zhu Yuanzhang that he led the soldiers to drive the Mongolian nobles back to the northern grasslands and conquered the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

This time, Yelu Longxu was in trouble at home and abroad, so he had to agree to hand over the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in exchange for a respite.

Therefore, Xie Kun ordered Hanlin to draw up an edict at that time, ordered the Ministry of Officials and other ministries, and immediately selected capable officials to go outside the pass to take over the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, appease the people, and deal with political affairs.This is the top priority at the moment, no matter who it is, as long as they dare to obstruct and sabotage this matter, they will be severely punished.

No matter how many whirlpools and schemes there are in the city of Tokyo, no one dares to stand in the way of this big event.No one wants to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

Pan Renmei wanted to struggle.Although he didn't know Zhao Guangyi's plan to get rid of the golden cicada, he also knew that the Yang family's favor with the new king meant that his good days were coming to an end.Especially when he saw the "little Chu official" following the new king, his whole body softened.What he did to Chu Wanwan back then could not stand up to a detailed investigation.He has no way out.

However, Pan Renmei had just contacted several generals who usually smuggled goods with empty pay, but Chu Tianshu led his men to catch them all and took them to the front of the army for interrogation.

Pan Renmei colluded with the Khitan horse thief and assassinated Taiping, a senior spy who sent intelligence for the Song Dynasty and made countless contributions, just because of his jealousy and covetousness. There is also physical evidence that it was marked with the materials of the Song Army.

Before this battle, Pan Renmei hated Yang Qilang for beating her son to death in the arena, and repeated the same trick, once again buying the black wind horse thief to kill the pioneer Yang Qilang.Who knew that the black wind horse thief at this time had changed people long ago, and after receiving his reward, he hid Yang Qilang—Xie Kun sat on the top and smiled at Pan Renmei who was kneeling in front of everyone: "Thank you!" Master Pan is taking care of my business." The soldiers below first laughed, and then became furious.If it wasn't for His Highness the Crown Prince's use of this to hide his whereabouts, wouldn't a loyal minister like Yang Qilang be killed by this traitor just like Taiping?

There are all witnesses and material evidence, and the evidence is conclusive. Pan Renmei wanted to deny it at first, and then she could only kowtow to plead guilty.

Pan Renmei was imprisoned, waiting to be executed by Qiu Hou.The Pan family's property was confiscated and confiscated, and three generations of children were not allowed to serve as officials in the court.

After arranging and disposing of the affairs of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun and the border defense generals, Xie Kun led his troops to send Zhao Guangyi's coffin back to Tokyo.

Although Xie Kun and Chu Tianshu were not in Tokyo, the Chu family's caravan kept passing news about Tokyo to them, allowing them to know the situation in Tokyo.

Zhao Guangyi had three sons, the eldest son Zhao Yuanzuo was clever and alert, and was originally a very good candidate for the crown prince.However, because he saw Zhao Guangyi's methods against Zhao Tingmei and other clans, his spirit was stimulated, and he set fire to the palace.

The second son Zhao Yuanyou and the third son Zhao Yuankan, who is more suitable to be the prince, Zhao Guangyi has not yet chosen, so the matter of establishing a reserve has not been mentioned.Who knew that this time when Zhao Guangyi led troops to the Northern Expedition, he announced in front of the army that Zhao Kun, the grandson of the Taizu and the son of the King of Wei, would be made the crown prince.

Zhao Kun, where did this Zhao Kun come from?

Taizu's family was delighted, but Zhao Guangyi's two sons were not reconciled.

No matter how they secretly connect and plan everywhere, the day for Xie Kun to help Ling return to Beijing has come.
