"Who would have thought... that he is also the one in golden clothes in the yard?"
Zhao Da sighed and said: "If anyone knew that that person was also from the courtyard, I'm afraid it would cause an uproar. The situation would not be as balanced as it seems now, and the court would be in chaos for a while."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Of course, people can't know. When people need to know, he can no longer occupy his position there. According to his temperament, I'm afraid he likes what he is doing far more than
Become a member of the Overwatch Council. Let’s take a look at it later and ask for his opinion. If he wants to stay there, he shouldn’t be in the courtyard.”
Zhao Dadao: "Can I be reluctant to part with you?"
Liu Ling nodded and said: "You can be reluctant to leave, but only if you can't bear to leave."
The two of them were talking when suddenly Hua Ling signed in from outside: "Your Majesty, Yeluji is calling in front of the formation and wants to ask Your Majesty to speak."
Zhao Da frowned and said to himself, "Yelüji? What does he want to do?"
Liu Ling glanced at Hua Ling and said, "Is Yeluji out of the city?"
Hua Ling nodded: "Today, my subordinates led the army to attack the city. They used gunpowder catapults to suppress the archers on the city and then sent their troops to feign an attack. But the Youzhou city gate suddenly opened, and a group of cavalry protected Yeluji and came out in person.
He came forward to shout. He said he had something important to discuss with the prince, and his subordinates rushed back."
Liu Ling thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's go and meet him for a while."
Zhao Da was worried and said: "Could it be that the Khitan people are up to some tricks? Your Majesty, it's better not to let this happen lightly."
Liu Ling said with a smile: "Yelüji is not afraid, so what am I afraid of? If something happens to me in front of the battle, will you die of shame?"
After saying that, Liu Ling did not wear armor and changed into a black uniform. Instead of riding a black panther to defeat the enemy, he rode a red lion and took Hua Ling to the front of the two armies. Now the situation is reversed. Twenty days ago, it was Yelu.
The Ji Liao army besieged Liu Ling, and now it was Liu Ling who led the army to besiege Yelu Ji. This shows that things are unpredictable, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. As for what Yelu Ji wants to say to him, Liu Ling can
I guessed a little bit. But Yeluji would never surrender, nor would he be stupid enough to try to persuade Liu Ling to return in vain.
Liu Ling's Chinese army besieged the south gate of Youzhou. At this time, the two armies were facing each other. The Han army had more than 20,000 troops, and the number of Liao troops leaving the city was about the same. However, they saw a wolf-headed banner among the Khitan army.
, sitting on the black horse was a general in golden armor. The man was about thirty years old, with a white face and a beardless face, and a feminine and dignified complexion. He was Yeluji, the king of the Southern Palace of Liao Dynasty.
When Liu Ling arrived in front of the formation, Hua Ling ordered twenty repeating fire ballistas to be set up.
Seeing a large flag with the character "Liu" spread out and raised, Yeluji knew that it was Liu Ling, the king of Han Dynasty. He turned around and gave a few instructions, then walked to the front of the formation with only four of his family members. A Khitan general brought more than two thousand people with him.
The Khitan elite wolf cavalry followed Yeluji about a hundred meters behind. Liu Ling saw that Yeluji was quite courageous, and his impression of him changed slightly. In Liu Ling's view, a
The more people use conspiracy and tricks, the less they dare to expose themselves in broad daylight, and their courage becomes smaller and smaller.
Liu Ling urged his horse forward, and the Supervisory Yuan Jin Yi, who was almost inseparable from Zhao Da, suddenly said: "Subordinate, please follow the prince."
Liu Ling looked back at him and said, "With Dongfang here, why should I be afraid?"
The name of this man in golden clothes was Dongfang Buluan, and he was truly an instant man. Not long after he entered the Overwatch Council, Liu Ling was surprised. How could such a knight who played in the human world be willing to enter the courtyard and live in darkness?
Later, because of his Miao Zhaoda, he stayed with him and entrusted his safety to Dongfang Buran for protection. The beauty of Dongfang Buran is that he is a good person and an evil person.
He used to be a monk on Mount Wutai. He chanted sutras and worshiped Buddha during the day. At night, he covered his face and went out for hundreds of miles to kill people, set fires, rob the rich and give to the poor. I don’t know why he returned to secular life later, and was introduced to the Supervisory Yuan by Ning Huan. As for Ning Huan
, is a member of the Longhu Mountain. Monks and Taoist priests always have many connections...
Liu Ling only took Dongfang Buran with him, and Hua Ling led two thousand men to ride behind and be on guard a few hundred meters away. Yeluji and four of his followers stood in the middle waiting for Liu Ling, but saw that Liu Ling only brought one follower.
Suddenly a bit of laughter arose in his heart. He was thinking, is Liu Ling confident, or does he look down on himself? Or, is it because he is confident that he looks down on himself? But in any case, Liu Ling, who has undoubtedly become the new overlord of the Central Plains, will
Came with an entourage.
Liu Ling discovered that Yeluji was also a wonderful person, because he even brought two benches and a small square table.
The four members of Yeluji quickly put down the small square table and benches, and then magically took out a pot of wine and two beautiful jade cups.
"I have long admired the reputation of the King of Han, but I didn't expect that today is my first official meeting. I would like to thank the King of Han for the favor, and please forgive me for taking the liberty."
Yeluji bowed slightly and said.
He was polite and gentle, and he really didn't look like a soldier. If he had taken off his military uniform and put on a robe, he would have looked like a scholar.
"Your Highness, you are welcome."
Liu Ling cupped his hands and said.
"King Han, please sit down."
Yeluji stretched out his hand and said, "I don't know... the wine prepared by the King of Han Dynasty was poisonous?"
Liu Ling took the cup handed over by Yeluji and said, "Afraid!"
Yeluji was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Liu Ling to be so direct. According to what he had set before, Liu Ling should have said boldly that he was not afraid. However, although he was surprised by Liu Ling's directness and honesty, he was not surprised.
Feeling a little embarrassed, he picked up the wine bottle and filled it twice for himself and said, "I'll drink a glass first to show my sincerity."
Liu Ling's next words made Yeluji even more confused.
"Your Highness, there is no need to be so polite. Just give me your cup."
Yeluji smiled coquettishly and handed his wine glass to Liu Ling and said: "The King of Han is so famous, and it turned out to be true when I saw him today..."
Liu Ling excused himself: "Sure enough, it's better to be famous than to meet in person?"
He smiled and said, "Does His Highness the Crown Prince trust me?"
Yeluji was even more embarrassed. He wanted to trust him, but couldn't. He wanted to trust Liu Ling, if Liu Ling withdrew his 600,000 troops from Youzhou first.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't trust me, and I don't trust you either, so why are you so pretentious?"
Liu Ling smiled and said: "Your Highness is elegant, and he prepares fine wines for guests before the battle, but Liu Ling is just a martial artist, and he has not learned much about this elegant thing. And although I am not a greedy person, I just want to see
I'm embarrassed to say that I don't want to drink the wine from the Western Regions prepared by His Highness. If you have something to say, just say it, and if you have something to say, just say it. Naturally, it's hard to say such foul words. Your Highness is an elegant person."
Yeluji was even more embarrassed. Liu Ling chatted for a few words, which completely subverted his own image in Yeluji's heart. Yeluji didn't even know what to say next. Logically speaking, Liu Ling said arrogant words, and he should
It would have been better to reprimand him. But it was strange why Liu Ling's few foul words were not so disgusting.
Yeluji thought for a while and said: "The King of Han is so quick to talk to others that I am ashamed of myself."
"please!"
He picked up the cup.
Liu Ling picked up the wine glass, took a sip with gentle and graceful movements, pressed the wine slurry under the cup, savored it carefully, and praised: "If you guessed correctly, this wine should be aged in the cellar for more than ten years. Such a fine wine is made in the Western Regions."
It’s not uncommon, His Royal Highness is indeed elegant.”
Yeluji was even more surprised: "The King of Han is indeed extraordinary. Looking at the King of Han's drinking posture and his skill in tasting wine, how can it be possible that he is just a warrior as humble as the King of Han? I admire the King of Han's true temperament."
Liu Lingxin said that the pretense of drinking wine was the pinnacle of later generations. According to the classic lines in movies and TV shows, he should have taken a sip and then confidently smiled and said that it was produced in 1982 from a Bordeaux winery in France. It was even more arrogant. Unfortunately, it was just
He was afraid that Yeluji wouldn't understand. If he asked what France was, it would be hard for Liu Ling to explain.
"Why, His Highness the Crown Prince has given you too much praise."
Liu Ling put down the wine glass elegantly and said: "To drink such a fine wine, it would be extremely elegant to pair it with a luminous cup. I think that although these two jade cups of the prince are top-grade, they are not suitable for holding such a fine wine. I happen to have that crystal clear cup in my hand.
Yurun's cup is sitting idle and useless. When you get back, let someone load a cart and send it to the prince?"
This is pure bragging. Liu Ling can't make a glass goblet yet.
Yeluji sweated on his forehead. He really couldn't understand what kind of person Liu Ling was. He said before that if he had something to say, he would fart. Liu Ling was nothing more than a soldier, a ruffian, and a rough guy. But then he tasted the wine elegantly.
Then he accurately stated the year of the wine, which is something that only an elegant person cannot do. But then, when he said that he would pack a cart and give it to the prince, why did he seem so rustic and like a nouveau riche?
"You've had a drink. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, if you have anything to say, feel free to speak directly. I'm all ears."
Yeluji put down his wine glass and sighed and said: "I have admired the King of Han for a long time, so I have always thought that one day it would be the most charming thing to be able to have a drink with someone like the King of Han. Today, I invited the prince to drink before the battle. It was mostly for the sake of his heart.
It’s a wish. Your Majesty’s grace is unparalleled, and seeing him today is a worthwhile trip..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Ling waved his hand and said: "Tell me about half of it."
Yeluji smiled awkwardly and said, "In that case, Gu..."
Liu Ling interrupted him again and said, "Don't be alone in front of me. It sounds awkward. If I don't call myself a loner, how can you call me a loner?"
"Be bold!"
The four generals behind Yeluji couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing Liu Ling being so rampant, they were furious and wanted to draw their swords. Dongfang Bulan raised his head and glanced at the four people, and said in a calm tone: "Who draws the sword?
Who dies."
Yeluji reprimanded his generals and said: "How presumptuous! Put your sword away, don't let the King of Han see the joke!"
The four people were frightened by Dongfang Buluan's eyes. For a moment, the blood-smelling murderous aura on Dongfang Buluan's body made the four of them very uncomfortable. After being scolded by Yelu Ji, the four of them had no choice but to swallow their anger and accept it.
Picking up the knife, Yeluji smiled apologetically at Liu Ling and said, "It made the King of Han laugh."
Liu Ling said seriously: "I won't laugh, you just go on."
Yeluji was silenced by Liu Ling's words, but he finally sighed and said: "Today, I have an appointment with the King of Han. Actually, I am alone... I have a request from you, King of Han. You don't say secret things in front of people, since
The King of Han is happy, so I can’t be stingy anymore. I just want to...ask the King of Han to help me achieve great things! If the King of Han is willing to help me, after the great things are accomplished, I am willing to send Youzhou to the King of Han as a thank you gift!"
"Use Youzhou as a thank you gift?"
Liu Ling asked with a smile.
Yeluji thought for a while and said: "If the King of Han feels that it is not enough, I can return Xijing to the King of Han."
Liu Ling sighed and said: "After all, you are still a cruel person. If you trade two powerful cities thousands of miles away for that chair, it's not a bad deal. I'm just a little strange, why can't you wait?"
