After withdrawing his troops and returning to Cangzhou, Governor Helian looked much older, but his old eyes became brighter and brighter.
"He was making a choice, but found it difficult."
Governor Helian said: "The army is rushing towards Jiangzhou in a steady stream. If he raises his troops to attack, our army will come to help him from Houmi Mian. It will be lively!"
Lin Nan slimmed down and looked at the sharp-mouthed man, "Cangzhou!" "Lin Jun is watching."
Governor Helian smiled and said: "Lin Jun knows that once Cangzhou is lost, Yang Xuan will no longer have any scruples, and he will definitely kill him later!"
"My lips are dead and my teeth are cold!" Lin Nan lamented: "I didn't expect that I would have to rely on that traitor to keep me safe in the end!"
"When using troops, every plant and tree can be used." Governor Helian stroked the water glass, his eyes slightly cold, "Yang Xuan must either withdraw his troops or come to attack Cangzhou. There is no third way!"
Lin Nan smiled and said: "The city in Cangzhou has been reinforced with a lot of money. There are so many beds and crossbows at the top of the city that it would scare the people under Yang Xuan's command."
Governor Helian waved his hand, "I'm tired."
Lin Nan resigned and walked out of the check-in room. He let out a long breath. In the check-in room, Heliandu covered his face with his hands and his body was shaking slightly. He choked silently, tears dripping down from his fingers. After a long time, he let go.
He wiped his face with his hand.
"Your Majesty, I am incompetent!"
Since he retired from the army, he has been under tremendous psychological pressure. He cannot afford the consequences of losing Yanzhou!
But he must bear it!
Now, his only way is to perform meritorious service, defend Cangzhou, and buy time for Jiangzhou and Ningxing.
He took a deep breath and looked outside. "You are coming!"
Jiangzhou has now become a large military camp, with a steady stream of troops entering the city, and convoys transporting grain and grass from Ningxing to Jiangzhou.
The huge Liao Dynasty exerted its strength.
Warriors were being recruited everywhere, and officials were roaring at the people, demanding that they pay more taxes.
"Da Liao wants to counterattack Northern Xinjiang! But how can hungry warriors counterattack?"
People can only grit their teeth and pay.
If you can't afford it, the vicious clerks will rush into your home and take away anything valuable you see.
The first batch of refugees appeared.
They fled their hometown sadly, otherwise the unpaid taxes would become a nightmare for their family, next year, and the year after that. No matter how hard they worked, they would not be able to earn that money. And the petty officials who pursued the taxes would put their family in a dilemma of life and death.
It is difficult to communicate the joys and sorrows of human beings, and it is even harder to understand. Three thousand Northern Liao cavalry are heading towards Ningxing.
Convoys carrying baggage continued to go to Jiangzhou, and so did the empty trains returning from Jiangzhou.
The two teams kept crossing each other.
The escorting sergeant looked at the three thousand cavalry, and someone asked curiously: "When you return to Ningxing at this time, is it possible that you are a nobleman from some family?"
The atmosphere in Jiangzhou is very tense now. Although everyone says that Yang Gou dare not attack, after all, Yanzhou is opposite. What if Yang Gou goes crazy?
Therefore, everyone who was involved quickly moved back. After the news of the loss of Yanzhou reached Ningxing, more than ten Jiangzhou generals and officials left.
Naturally, it is best to be an official in Ningxing, but there are only so many official positions in Ningxing, and you can't grab them even if you break your head. Or those who came into office late, they can only go to Ningxing.
Jiangzhou was originally such a good place, close to Ningxing, and the family's influence could easily spread there.
So they flocked to it like a duck.
Now, Jiangzhou has become a large military camp, and no one can guess when Yang Gou across the street will go crazy.
Those 'heroes' who were clamoring in restaurants and brothels that if Yang Gou came, I could lead an army to make him never come back, they could run faster than rabbits.
The three thousand riders walked slowly. "Hey! Help me!"
Ahead, a large cart had its wheels broken and fell to the side. Two peasants waved to the three thousand riders with sad faces.
A sergeant dismounted and walked over, saying very kindly: "Are you going to Jiangzhou?"
A farmer held the frame of the bicycle and said, "Yes!"
The sergeant turned around and called a few of his companions, and asked casually: "Are people in Ningxing worried?"
"You young man, you talk so politely, what's wrong with your heart?
I'm scared, I'm just scared! I heard that Yang Gou is coming, good fellow, those powerful people can run faster than rabbits. But I can't resist His Majesty and take action first! His Majesty said."
The civilian husband said carefully, "You and others can leave, but you have to keep your belongings!" The sergeant said with a smile: "Those people are the most stingy, and they will definitely be reluctant to part with them."
"No, there are only about ten families left. Guess what, most of these ten families' businesses are in other places!"
The sergeant shook his head, "No wonder you are so willing."
Several people helped to turn the cart over, and then repairs began. Of course, the craftsmen in the team would do the work.
The sergeant clapped his hands and said, "I'll go then."
The civilian husband suddenly lowered his voice, "Are you going back to Ningxing?" "Yes!" The sergeant nodded.
The civilian husband whispered: "Be careful, your Majesty has been very angry recently!" The sergeant smiled and said: "Your Majesty is in the palace, how do you know?"
The civilian husband blew his nose, wiped his fingers on the clothes behind his back, and said: "The people in the palace came out to buy and said that more than ten people in the palace have been beaten to death in the past few days, tsk tsk! This is unprecedented.
It’s a matter of fact! It can be seen that this time Yang Dog hurt His Majesty.”
"That's what you said!" the sergeant said sternly, "That's Your Majesty!" The civilian husband covered his mouth, "I made a mistake!"
"Let's go." The sergeant patted him on the shoulder, "Also, don't call people dogs, dogs, dogs, be careful not to be overheard."
The civilian husband waved goodbye and said, "Yang Gou is far away in Yanzhou!" The sergeant returned to the group.
"How's it going, Lord?" the old thief asked.
The sergeant said: "Ning Xing's people are panicked, the emperor is angry, and he feels like a menopausal woman."
"menopause?"
"How old is your wife?" "Not even thirty yet." "That's still early. What about you?" "More than forty." "Yeah! You're almost there."
Yang Xuan glanced ahead and said, "Hurry up and try to get to Ningxing in the afternoon." Ningxing.
The emperor's temper has not been very good lately, and he often punishes the palace people, putting everyone in danger.
The eldest princess walked out of the house after a long time, and when she came back again, she disappeared.
There were many more garrison troops at the top of the city, and the generals were also patrolling conscientiously.
The dignitaries were furious because of the emperor's prohibition of "you can leave, but the money stays". Some drunkenly cursed the emperor and said he would die badly.
The emperor just laughed it off. The next day, Eagle Guard He Lianhong personally led a team to capture the man and take the whole family to the far north.
But the atmosphere in the city is getting worse and worse, and morale is low.
"The soldiers are not afraid of death, but the various dignitaries in the city are in trouble, which makes them feel..."
Xiao lowered his head.
The emperor sneered, "Do you think it's not worth risking your life to protect these people?" "Yes!"
The emperor waved, and two chamberlains came to support him. "If it were me, I would be full of complaints!"
The emperor walked hard, "Those are loyal and brave men, I should go and see them."
"His Majesty."
Xiao disagreed that he was going to the top of the city to inspect the emperor at this moment. The soldiers saw that the emperor's fat appearance was not beautiful after all. But he could not and did not dare to say it.
The emperor glanced at him, then looked down at his big belly, and laughed at himself: "I haven't seen my feet for a long time."
"I go to tell the soldiers that I am with them!" The emperor left the palace.
After hearing the news, the eldest princess also came.
"What are you doing!" The emperor saw Changling and gave a rare gentle smile. "No problem!"
Changling has a lot of cultivation skills, so he doesn't have to hide in the house to confine himself. "How is the child?"
The emperor asked with a smile, a tender look flashing in his eyes.
“It’s very delicious!”
Mentioning that child, Changling's eyebrows became gentler.
"Humans! You have to be a parent to be complete!" The emperor patted the back of Changling's hand that was supporting his and got into the carriage.
Then, a group of people appeared at the city gate. "Your Majesty!"
The soldiers at the head of the city were surprised. Then their morale was greatly boosted.
"I came to see the warriors of Daliao!"
The emperor smiled, gently broke away from the support of the two chamberlains, and walked up to the top of the city step by step.
Every time he comes
Xiao's brows will furrow even more after each step. It's too difficult!
Although the emperor pretended to be nonchalant, many people could see his difficulty.
Every time the plump body took a step up, it seemed like a mountain was moving. The soldiers' eyes were complicated, some were disappointed and some were moved.
Although this emperor looks unpleasant, he is really.
He would not be like those emperors who used countless ways to decorate their majesty. He rarely left the palace, and it seemed like this was the first time since he ascended the throne.
An emperor who lives deep in the palace appears on the top of the city at this moment. This is a very obvious signal.
The enemy is ahead, and I am with you and Ning Xing.
Changling noticed the woman's keenness and said, "The morale has improved." The emperor smiled and chatted with the sergeants.
"How many people are in the family?"
"Is it possible to have enough food in the army?"
"Have you ever married a wife? How old are your children?"
".."
The emperor's easygoingness made Xu Fu feel a little sad.
The emperor seemed to be a different person this time. When he squinted his eyes, the cruelty and anger in his eyes made even this old man tremble. At that moment, he felt a word.
tyrant!
But look at the emperor in front of you, he is as friendly as the uncle next door. Which one is him?
Xu Fu vaguely thought of the emperor when he was in Tanzhou.
At that time, the emperor seemed to be doing nothing and having fun all day long. What was his face?
Greed! Yes! Greed!
In order to reassure the late Emperor Ningxing, the emperor at that time said that he had no ambitions, did everything he could to eat, drink, have fun, and was corrupt.
If you pull him out, he will look like a corrupt official! The kind who will not be able to forgive his hatred even if he is killed.
Man! Xu Fu shook his head gently.
Xiao and Changling were talking quietly under the city.
"Lin Ya has given up. I know him well and he is indeed ready to give up.
"I'm giving up completely." Changling didn't believe it.
"No, it's before the two powerful enemies are eliminated!" Xiao said with a smile: "Let's say at least five years!
"Five years? That's enough." Changling nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.
In any case, this is the Daliao left by her father, and she hopes that this Daliao can exist for a long time.
When Aguang grows up, I have to find a wife for him and prepare him for the future.
Changling smiled.
At the top of the city, the emperor said: "Northern Xinjiang is sharp, I don't deny it. However, Daliao has never dealt with it head-on, and Ningxing's army has been staying behind. As you have seen in the past few days, Ningxing's army continues to go to Jiangzhou. This
Not only to defend, but in the next step, Daliao will launch a counterattack, and the army will reach Taoxian County.
He was panting a little as he spoke. The soldiers' eyes were bright.
"This is hope!" Xiao smiled and said: "There is no wiser emperor than Your Majesty.
The emperor used a low profile to win the acceptance of the soldiers, and then used some sincere but half-truthful analysis and promises to successfully boost morale.
The outside world said that the emperor only knew how to hide in the palace, but that was not his nature.
At this moment, Chang Ling deeply understood the reason why his father chose He Lianchun.
This is a man with great ambition and means.
If Daliao had not reached a point where it would be difficult to recover, if not for the deep roots of Lin Ya and others, Daliao would definitely be able to rise again in his hands.
Changling climbed the stairs and stood at the top of the city, looking into the distance. I couldn't help but feel in my heart,
"The army has gone to the north, and the Shegu people will tremble in this spring. In the autumn, Daliao will usher in a harvest. By then, Lian, I will be waiting for you to drink!
The emperor raised his hand and made a very serious promise. Then he took the lead and turned towards the steps.
At the top of the city, countless soldiers knelt down. "Best farewell to Your Majesty!"
Changling looked at the approaching emperor and said softly: "Your words will make them a hundred times more powerful. Daliao will definitely achieve great things.
The emperor smiled, "I am convinced of this!
Below is the long street. The pedestrians bowed slightly after seeing the emperor standing on the top of the city.
The emperor waved subconsciously. It was a very harmonious scene.
Ta-ta-ta!
"The cavalry is coming
It’s over.” Someone shouted from the top of the city.
This was to inform the soldiers guarding the gate of the city: "Where did it come from?
The sergeant inside the city gate walked out. "Stop!"
Some of the sergeants at the top of the city shouted, "What a pity."
Three Thousand Cavalry slowly slowed down.
Yang Xuan said with some regret: "It seems that the security is tight!"
There are at least several thousand soldiers at the top of the city, all armed with bows and arrows. If they were to make a surprise attack, they would be covered in arrows.
Under the city!
There was a Juma under the city. Pedestrians and carriages had to go around the Juma when entering. In this way, it was impossible to conduct a sneak attack.
Whoever came up with this idea is so useful.
The old thief said: "My lord, how about I and my second brother go there?"
Yang Xuan shook his head, "There are crossbows at the top of the city, and there are quite a few of them. Once they are launched intensively, even Headmaster Ning will have to kneel down."
This is Ningxing City! The capital of Northern Liao.
In Yang Xuan's mind, hundreds of years of history slowly flowed away, like a river
The Central Plains was in decline, and the Northern Liao Dynasty was herding horses from the south. How many people were mourning the Northern Liao Dynasty, and both the Chen Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty changed their faces when they heard about it.
If Beiliao is an evil dragon, then Ningxing is the dragon's cave.
Today, I'm here!
Yang Xuan suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.
It seemed as if there were countless people standing on his shoulders, looking at Ningxing City ahead.
He seemed to hear countless people shouting and howling those bloody colors!
"Tu Shang!" "Here!" "Raise my banner!" "Take orders!"
Yang Xuan's flag was rolled up, unrolled, and pierced onto Tu Chang's spear.
"Drive!" Yang Xuan stirred up the war horse. The war horse galloped away. Tu Shang followed closely. "Stop!"
The sergeants at the foot of the city and at the top of the city realized something was wrong and shouted sharply. "Bed crossbow!" someone shouted.
"What is it?"
The emperor, Changling and others heard the sound and came over. They saw two horses galloping towards Ningxing City. One was in front and the other was behind.
"Who is that?" asked the emperor.
His eyesight had declined, and he looked at the man a little blurry. However, he felt vaguely familiar.
His heart suddenly jumped.
Chang Ling beside him looked at the man in disbelief.
Choking!
The long sword was unsheathed. He raised it high and charged straight to the city. Then he pulled the reins of the horse.
The war horses neighed, and the men stood up! Behind him, Tu Shang raised his spear high. The Yang-character flag fluttered in the wind!
Yang Xuan on horseback pointed at the city with his sword and shouted: "I am the Tang Dynasty!" Three thousand horses galloped.
Three thousand long swords were raised high. "Mighty!"
At the beginning of the month, Jazz is asking for votes!
