Liang Shicheng's words revealed overtly and covertly his confidence that the Western Army would be used for him.
Yang Lin responded tit for tat, not giving in a word: "The Qin Feng Army and the Shenwu Army have been tired for a long time, and the northwest lacks strength. The land is desolate and the people's livelihood is withered. At this time, an unknown army is raised to conquer the Khitan. The time, place and people are not occupied.
Taifu Liang has been in prison for a long time, so he probably doesn't know much about military affairs. If he raises an army rashly, I'm afraid he will lose his troops and generals, and this peaceful and prosperous age will be ruined."
"Yang Shaozai, although our family doesn't know how to fight, doesn't Tong Guan know how to fight?" Liang Shicheng was humiliated, which had not happened for more than ten years. His turbid eyes seemed to be on fire, and he wanted to swallow Yang Lin alive.
.
Yang Lin raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "If Tong Guan knew how to fight, would he have put an army of 300,000 men to death? If it hadn't been for some mistake, he would have been able to win by luck, but now the land of the Central Plains would be filled with fishy smell.
Alright."
Just as Liang Shicheng was about to reply, Yang Lin was aggressive and continued: "Since Taifu Liang wants to attack Liao, he has 200,000 troops and horses, and his commander is Tong Guan.
So do you know how much food is needed for 200,000 people? How many civilians are needed? Which road is best to transport food? If we win, how to appease the local people? If we lose, how to withdraw our troops?"
Liang Shicheng: "We"
"Do you know how many soldiers and horses the Khitan has in Youyan? Which general is guarding the Khitan? What are the differences between the enemy's and our own troops? How many cavalry and infantry should be sent?"
A series of questions left Liang Shicheng speechless.
Yang Lin chuckled: "It's a big joke. At that time, the only two powerful forces, the Song Dynasty and the Khitan, you didn't know anything about it, and you actually dared to order generals to attack the Liao Dynasty.
Soldiers are deceitful, and it is often related to the rise or fall of the country. You don't get any information, and you don't do any overall calculations. You don't know the status of the enemy and ourselves, and you want to conquer Liao in just one sentence. Isn't it just that you are ignoring the lives of two hundred thousand men and the country?
Disregarding his own safety, disregarding His Majesty's great cause, and only coveting his own possible achievements in conquering Yan?
Mr. Liang, what are your intentions?!"
Liang Shicheng's fair face turned red, his fingers trembled slightly, his voice was raised in the air and he could not speak.
Yang Lin thought to himself that Zhao Ji, the emperor, was most afraid of trouble and liked He Xini the most.
I don't care about him, let's muddy the water first and make things messy.
He rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward and pinched Liang Shicheng's arm, spittle flying around and said, "How dare you destroy my emperor's great cause and destroy the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, how can I, Yang Lin, tolerate you!"
When Zhao Ji saw this random thought, he was filled with anger and became extremely angry.
He flicked his sleeves and pushed the copybook, pen, ink, paper and inkstone he had just written on the table to the ground: "What kind of decency do you have, what decency do you have, get out of here!"
Yang Lin saw that this matter was caused by him. According to Zhao Ji's character, he would probably be in trouble again, but he could finally hold it off for a few days.
He put away the sadness and indignation on his face, walked out of the palace dejectedly, took out a small delicate box from his sleeve, gave it to Yang Jian's godson, and said: "Send this to Your Majesty."
The young chamberlain nodded and hurriedly went in to offer the treasure.
Liang Shicheng had regained his breath at this time, his eyes were sinister like a poisonous snake, and he snorted coldly: "Yang Lin, no one has ever dared to do this to our family!"
"If you had met me earlier, you wouldn't have had this problem." Now that he had broken his skin, Yang Lin had no need to show weakness anymore and sneered: "The waves behind you in the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, Liang Shicheng, your days of glory have passed.
"
After Yang Lin finished speaking, he left. After walking less than three steps, he seemed to feel Liang Shicheng's gaze and turned around and said: "In the current court, Prime Minister Cai is the pillar of the country."——
In Cai Jing's study, a waiter vividly described today's confrontation.
Yang Shaozai angrily rebuked Taifu Liang, and the officials were furious and drove the two men out of the palace.
Until he heard Yang Lin's last words, Cai Jing frowned and cursed with a smile: "This tired monkey, at this time, he didn't forget to use me as a shield to make the relationship between Liang Shicheng and me a little disgusting."
After seeing off the little chamberlain who reported the message, Cai Jing smiled softly, lowered his head and said to himself: "Wen Yuan, Wen Yuan, you still can't hold it back. This time Liang Shicheng will not be merciful."
Cai Jing definitely disagreed with the attack on Liao. Now anyone with a discerning eye knows that the person who takes action last has the biggest bargaining chip and can ask for a huge price.
In order to prevent the Song-Jin alliance, the Khitan could not offer any conditions, so why should they use weapons rashly to achieve their goal?
But Cai Jing himself did not come forward to object. He recognized Yang Lin and knew that he would not back down from such a major matter related to the rise and fall of the country.
I am calmer than him, and the reward I get is that I can hide behind, watch Liang Yang fight, and reap the benefits myself——
On the outskirts of Bianliang City, all the blood stains from that day had disappeared under the heavy rain.
The mud was renovated, the clear springs were gone, and Yin Muhong's shoes got stuck in the mud several times.
This is the official road of Bianliang, with deep ruts for new traffic, leading to the flow of spring water.
Yao Pingzhong rubbed his muddy feet impatiently on the big tree next to him and said loudly: "Yin Ganban, the mud here has been washed away, what are you doing here?"
Yin Muhong smiled softly and asked: "Xi Yan, was your brother's body found here?"
"That's the tree."
Yin Muhong came over, knelt down, observed carefully, and sighed: "They didn't die here, they were moved here after they died. In other words, they may not have died on the way back to Bianliang.
"
Yao Pingzhong was startled for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You mean, there are no traces of fighting on these trees?"
"That's right, Yao Shu and the guards of your Yao Mansion are all scarred by swords, but the place where the accident happened, the trees and mountains on both sides of the road, don't even have a single trace of the sword."
"Second brother was with Zhe Yanwen and Yang Ceqing before the accident. I originally suspected that these two people were responsible for the murder, but now Zhe Yanwen is also dead."
Yin Muhong rolled up his sleeves and said: "There is no airtight wall in the world. As long as you peel off the cocoons and work step by step, you can get to the bottom of it in no time."
Yin Muhong took Yao Pingzhong back to Bianliang City, followed by a group of guards from the Long Live Battalion.
They traveled around the world selling smuggled salt, killing people and stealing goods, and they committed many crimes by fighting with their colleagues. This was the first time they investigated the case——
In Zhaode Square, Yang Lin hugged Duan Miaozhen and asked Lu Qian through the screen.
"Lu Qian, I asked you to check Mrs. Yao's preferences. How did you learn that she believed in Buddhism?"
Lu Qian was confused and didn't know why he asked this question, so he replied: "My subordinates found out that Yao Pingyi sent people to buy Buddhist ritual items several times, and claimed that his mother, Mrs. Yao, was going to offer incense."
After Lu Qian finished speaking, he thought that Yang Lin had hit a thorn in seducing the young widow. The fire of gossip in his chest suddenly ignited, and he asked thiefly: "Young Master, what's wrong?"
"Yao Pingyi is lying. He told a strange lie before his second brother died."
