After a pause, she continued: "We talked until dawn that night. Alas! We haven't been like this for a long time. She told me that she read the report written by you more than ten times, and laughed many times while reading it. She said that the best part was that you lied Li Zhiji wanted to go to the mountains for divination, but in fact he was going to cut off the heads of loyal people. She even showed me your report and said it was a good material for storytelling because it was so absurd and bizarre."
Long Ying was shocked and said: "Don't let others know."
The fat father-in-law said: "Don't worry, after I saw it, Mingkong burned it with his own hands."
Long Ying let go of his worries, it was never a good feeling to lie to others.
The fat father said fairly: "Fifteen days ago, Ming Kong summoned me late at night. The first sentence he said was, 'The evil emperor has regained Pingzhou and Jizhou.' Then he went on to talk about how you changed the sky overnight and shot Yi first. Unexpectedly, they captured the city tower, lowered the suspension bridge, and defeated the Khitans in one fell swoop. The best thing was to arrange an ambush in advance. The Khitans who were about to flee were killed and no one was left alive. Less than 200 of our own died. With such a record, I am afraid that only Marshal Kou Zhongfang could have done it. Comparable."
He added: "She never mentioned the word Dragon Eagle, only the Evil Emperor. Do you understand her mood? Do you understand my father-in-law's mood? When are you going to deal with Sun Wanrong?"
Long Ying said: "I am waiting for the Turks to attack the Khitan New City."
The fat father-in-law nodded and said: "What a plan! After Ningyan returned home, Mochui immediately sent a high-level envoy to make several requests. First, he asked Mingkong to accept him as his son, and he would surrender to the Great Zhou Dynasty again."
Long Ying lost his voice and said: "Mochu wants Wu Zhao to accept him as his son. What tricks does he want to play?"
The fat father-in-law said with a smile: "I guess I want to inherit the mother's throne in a legitimate way! But Mochu forgot that none of Mingkong's sons will end well, which is not a good sign for Mochu. However, Mingkong did not agree and only sent people to Turks. The title of "Qianshan Khan" was conferred silently, and he was also given the title of "Khan who was a great chanyu who made great contributions to the country and made great contributions to the country." These are all empty titles, and ten more titles will not have any real effect."
He added: "Ning Yan is a woman who should not be underestimated. She saw through Ming Kong's weakness in wanting a descendant of the Wu family to inherit the throne. She repaired it with hypocrisy, so that Ming Kong could safely accept Wu Chengsi and replace Li Dan as the crown prince without the threat of external forces. .Because I can make peace with the Turks. If I achieve great military exploits, Mingkong can give all the credit to Wu Chengsi."
Long Ying said: "What other tricks does Ning Yan have?"
The fat father-in-law said fairly: "If the first move is a false move, the next move is to test the reality. Silently sip Dai Ningyan to propose to the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty."
Long Ying shouted: "What kind of trick is this?"
The fat father-in-law said fairly: "Playing politics is not Evil Emperor's specialty. Ningyan must have thought up this move. If you were the Holy Emperor, who should you choose to marry Ningyan?"
Long Ying hadn't realized it yet and said, "What's the problem?"
The fat father-in-law said: "The problem is endless. First of all, which surname is the royal family? Although Li Dan and Li Xian were both given the surname 'Wu', they are still members of the Li Tang clan at heart. As soon as Ming Kong passed away after a hundred years, they immediately changed their surname back to Li. .Don’t you understand yet?”
Long Ying took a breath and said: "Ning Yan is so powerful. If Wu Zhao goes to marry a child of the Wu family, and if the Wu family's world is announced to the world, one day the children of the Wu family will inherit it, and they will immediately support Wu He. The two factions supporting Li and Tang pushed for more acute confrontation and friction. Couldn't Wu Zhao see through the Turks' conspiracy?"
The fat father-in-law said fairly: "It's not that she can't see through it, but that she can't untie the knot in her heart. Back then, Shengmen and Li Tang fought for the world, but fell short. They were defeated in Chang'an, and Mingkong regarded her as a humiliation, which made her think that the real Victory must be a change of dynasty. This is the difference between the father-in-law and her. The surname Wu and Li are not important at all. As long as our Holy Sect once ruled the world and created an unprecedented prosperous age, it will be the complete victory of the Holy Sect. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism No one can question it, no one can deny it."
Long Ying asked: "Has Wu Zhao made a choice?"
The fat father-in-law said fairly: "She still has a headache. After the feints and semi-virtual moves, there were two real moves in succession. Before I say it, I would like to ask you, if in the current situation, I would try my best to help Sun Wanrong."
, what situation will we find ourselves in?”
Long Ying said calmly: "The advantages we have built up with so much hard work will be wiped out, and we will be stuck in a defensive situation, and we will have to mobilize our troops. We should not break through the long front in the west and move south in a big way. Xi Ren is here
In this case, we will give up our neutrality and switch to the Turks and Khitans."
Fatty Gong said fairly: "So I said that Ningyan was very accurate and took the opportunity to blackmail. Mo Chui pointed out that as long as I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, are willing to transfer Feng, Sheng, Ling, Xia, Shuo, the six prefectures and the Shanyu Protectorate,
, allocate them to the Turks, and give them grain seeds, silk, farm implements, iron and other large quantities of materials. After sipping silently, they can lead their troops to conquer Khitan on behalf of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Alas! These practical measures are very spicy and will cause the Turks to gain human, animal and
With the replenishment of supplies, the country's strength has greatly increased, making it even more difficult to resist."
Long Ying said calmly: "So what if we agree to him? As long as we can form an alliance with Tubo, we can completely offset their sudden increase in power."
The fat father-in-law said fairly: "Fortunately, Brother Evil Emperor is here, so what if Mo Chuu is proud for a while? Before Mo Chuu uses force against Sun Wanrong, be sure to stand still, otherwise Mo Chui will be forced to take action against you. Once you are at a disadvantage, Mo Chui will propose
The conditions will be even hotter.”
Long Ying only had to think about the Turks' strength of more than 400,000 to know that what the fat father-in-law said was true. He nodded and said: "Understood!"
Then his eyes suddenly glowed with magic, and he said in a deep voice: "One day, I will personally cut off Mochu's head."
The fat man said fairly: "It all depends on Brother Evil Emperor showing his power, otherwise Silent Sip would not have this attitude and strategy. We are afraid of losing, and so are they. The Turks are now making it clear that they will deal with Sun Wanrong first, and then you, and then
Without any scruples, we launched a full-scale invasion of the south. Having said what I wanted to say, let’s accompany Renya and the others to see the Great Wall! The name of Shanhaiguan is really well changed. The mountain is Yanshan, the sea is Bohai, and the pass is the famous pass of the Great Wall. Hold on tightly to Liaoning Pass
Thistle Throat. The hilltop of Jiaoshan Mountain is surrounded by huge boulders and is towering and steep. Looking from a distance, you can see the mountains are stacked on top of each other, and the sea and sky are wide. It is worthy of being called the first pass in the world."
"The key to the two capitals is unparalleled, the first pass of the Great Wall."
The Yanshan Mountains extend from Juyongguan and Gubeikou, stretching for thousands of miles. They rise and fall more than ten miles away from the Bohai Sea, where they reach a peak and are built into passes. After experiencing wars, the defense facilities of Shanhaiguan at this time were not only not as large as a fortified city.
Moreover, all the defensive facilities were destroyed, so Yang Xuanji took advantage of these more than 20 days to build wooden archery towers and build the Great Wall to strengthen the protection.
Long Ying and the three girls, accompanied by Wan Renyu and Feng Guoting, rode horses to travel. Yang Xuanji led his own soldiers to greet them and took them to the Great Wall to recall the past.
Yang Xuanji said: "During the Warring States Period, various countries built border walls in northern Xinjiang to resist foreign enemies. During the Qin Dynasty, all the border walls were connected to form a Great Wall that stretched thousands of miles from Lintao in the west to the Bohai Sea in the east. Taizong also ordered people to repair and expand it.
, it was recently completely destroyed by the Khitans, which is heartbreaking.”
Wan Renyu said: "We must rebuild Shanhaiguan."
Yang Xuanji said: "I have an idea in my mind. I will ask someone to design the plans of the castle, passes, and enemy towers. This line of Great Wall will be combined with Shanhaiguan to form a complete defensive building complex and become the fortress of Youzhou North."
Long Ying asked: "Who is this specialist?"
Yang Xuanji smiled and said: "It's Lao Guo. He is not only a military maniac, but also a battle fortress maniac. With his planning, everything is guaranteed to be perfect."
Long Ying remembered that Guo Yuanzhen had proposed to Wu Zhao the idea of setting up military and military garrison at a strategic point outside the important city, and also proposed the idea of garrisoning fields at the border fortress. He nodded and said: "As long as Brother Guo comes up with it, the Holy Emperor will definitely approve it."
The three girls, Renya, neither understood nor were interested in military affairs, so they walked aside to enjoy the magnificent and moving scenery outside the city. The weather was excellent that day. Under the sun, the primeval forest stretched infinitely along with the undulating mountains, and birds were singing and animals were walking around.
, wild and attractive.
At this time, some soldiers came to report the news to Yang Xuanji. After hearing this, the latter came back and said: "The Turks sent a special envoy and said that within ten days, Ningyan will personally come to see Lord Ying."
Wan Renyu said: "It's definitely not good."
Feng Guoting frowned and thought: "At this time when we are in a confrontation with the Khitans, Ningyan is clearly trying to fish in troubled waters. It will not be easy to send her away."
Yang Xuanji sighed: "The Turks have always been the biggest foreign threat to our dynasty, but I didn't expect that the Khitans could also cause us great losses."
Long Ying said solemnly: "In terms of the quality of our soldiers, we are no match for them, so we must use extraordinary means to deal with them. We have successfully taken the first step, which is to reverse morale and regain control of the border defense."
Wan Renyu said: "The next step should be to train troops, right?"
Yang Xuanji said: "Soldier training is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. Only on the battlefield can real warriors be cultivated. Regardless of Turks or Khitan, everyone is good at riding a horse and regards war as a common occurrence. Everyone is brave.
The whole country is fighting fiercely. If we hadn't produced a Ying Ye who was more ruthless than any of them, we would still be hiding within the walls of Youzhou, worrying day and night when the Khitans would attack."
Wan Renyu smiled and said: "Those who are close to Mo are black. Mr. Feng and I have become brave and ruthless people now."
Long Ying said happily: "To tell you the truth, I am now very interested in seeing who is more ruthless. Ha! We will wait until we meet Ningyan. She wants to fish in troubled waters, but I take advantage of her first. After I deal with Sun Wanrong, I
We will go to Tubo and learn about the true and false status of the Turks along the way, and learn about the intentions of Gaochang, Qiuci and other small countries. The most important thing is to invite that boy from Wilderness Dance to go with us, so that our journey can be more colorful."
Then he looked up and watched the majestic beauty of the eagle soaring under the blue sky and white clouds. He said leisurely and fascinated: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I can't wait!"
The three-day period was short and fleeting. The last night the three girls stayed in Jizhou was filled with emotions of farewell. Renya, Xiuqing and Lili were lingering with him until death. After they were happy, the couple talked together until dawn.
After sending the three girls and the fat father-in-law to the ship, Long Ying returned to Jizhou. Lou Shide invited him to the inner hall and said: "It is reported that Sun Wanrong sent envoys to Tujue and Xi Kingdom respectively. This should be a sign of big action.
