Chapter 367 Old friends say goodbye to drinking after drinking, three cups will kill you
Outside Hejian Mansion, several heroic young generals, accompanied by a burly general, came galloping on horseback.
Yang Lin stood at the city gate and came to greet him personally, because it was Tong Guan who came today.
It seems strange to outsiders that Yang Shaozai was so courteous. After all, the grievances and resentments between the two of them over the years have long been spread throughout Hebei.
Tong Guan turned over and dismounted, and several young generals behind him followed suit and followed him to meet him.
Yang Lin laughed and hurried forward. The two of them smiled and walked into the city.
"Wenyuan, I haven't seen you in a few years. You've grown a lot taller."
"Brother, you are the same as before. I think it is because you are leading the troops outside and you are more majestic."
Just looking at the two people's affectionate energy, I don't know why they thought they were brothers. In fact, they both wanted to kill each other.
Tong Guan was obsessed with defeating Liao and becoming king, and Yang Lin was a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh. In the Battle of Xixia, a certain person was the coach, but you, a young bird, took away the credit, and now you are here again?
Yang Lin worked hard and planned everything, but Tong Guan and his Shengjie Army were a hidden danger. The Land of Youyan was a major event that Yang Lin began to plan as soon as he entered officialdom, and there was no room for error in any link.
It is not only about getting back the North Gate, but also about keeping the Jurchen Tatars out.
If the disgrace of Jingkang happens again under my hands, Yang Lin, I won't want this wealth and honor, and I will die immediately in front of the world to apologize.
After entering Hejian Mansion, the two of them separated their hands. Yang Lin smiled and said: "Although Hebei cuisine is not as exquisite as Jiangnan, it still has a unique flavor. I am hosting a banquet in a restaurant, and I invite my brother to get drunk today."
Tong Guan smiled and said: "How can that be possible? Back then in Yangzhou, you were the landlord and so-and-so was the guest. Now here at Hebei East Road, no matter what you say, you have to be invited by so-and-so."
Yang Lin frowned slightly and thought, "Fuck your mother, I am still the landlord of Hebei East Road. Sooner or later, I will let you know who has the final say here."
Tong Guan walked into the restaurant, and sure enough, the restaurant was booked by Yang Lin. The restaurant hadn't actually opened yet during the Chinese New Year. With an order from the Yamen, the shopkeeper felt more honored and started working early.
In the private room, several maids opened the curtain. After Tong Guan and Yang Lin entered, Ruizhu lowered the curtain and the light suddenly dimmed.
Yang Lin went north this time without a maid, but fortunately he had six maids from Zhe Huanxiang to help him.
Although Tong Guan was a guest, Yang Lin had no intention of giving up the first seat. After sitting down, he smiled at Baozhu and said, "Let's serve."
After a while, the food and wine were served, and Yang Lin's face was calm, and his gestures were full of magnanimity. It was obvious that he had been in a position of authority over others for a long time.
As for Tong Guan, he did not fall behind at all. There were many joking remarks in his answers, but Yang Lin didn't take it seriously.
Tong Guan seemed calm, but in his heart he was thinking hard about his words, and finally couldn't help but ask: "This time the officials appointed you as the envoy to appease the system of Hebei, Hedong, and Shaanxi, and the deputy marshal of the northwest army and horses. It seems that Wen Yuan is very interested in Youyan."
Land is inevitable.
It's a pity that Yelu Chun didn't understand current affairs and occupied Youyan, making it clear that he didn't take Emperor Liao seriously. Wenyuan, what are your plans?"
Yang Lin's eyes flashed with light, and he said in a long voice: "The land of Youyan is a stubborn disease of the Song Dynasty, and it is also a shame for the Song people. How can we, the ministers, forget one day? If we want to take it back, we will definitely do it."
of.
But this matter is not that easy. I am going to send someone to discuss with Yelu Chun. If he can see the situation clearly and accept the land and return it to the Song Dynasty, everyone will be happy.
Soldiers are an unknown thing. It is better not to use them or not."
Yang Lin's words were pretentious. Not only did Tong Guan not believe it, but he himself didn't believe it. You brought hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the northwest, and Hejian Mansion stocked up with grain, grass, supplies, armor, and countless weapons. Mizhou Port was not stopped at all
When transporting baggage, you think everyone else is blind.
Tong Guan cursed in his heart, last year, you planted a Zong Ze in Hejian to disgust me. For a year, this guy recruited troops and did many things that were not in compliance with the court's laws. Is it to maintain public order?
This land of Youyan has been ceded to the Song Dynasty by Yelu Yanxi, which means that Yelu Chun's soldiers and horses cannot get any supplies, troops and food from the western part of the Khitan that has not yet fallen. What's more terrible is that there is a covetous enemy in the east.
Now everyone in the world knows that the Jurchens are fierce, but Yelu Chun is really like a wolf in front of him and a tiger in the back, isolated and helpless.
At this time, the Northern Expedition to Youyan is more advantageous than at any other time. Now it seems that this prince is just like a free gift.
Tong Guan chuckled and said: "Wen Yuan has been in the temple for a long time, how could he know the character of these Liao people? If they hadn't been beaten painfully, they would not have surrendered.
If Wen Yuan is unwilling to take action, there are some men under him who are happy to hear the battle. They thought that the officials and the marshal like you would take down Youyan."
"That's true, I will recommend you to be crowned king." Yang Lin immediately answered.
"How can that be done? Let's see who enters Yanjing City first." Tong Guan seemed to be relieved and waved his hands in humility.
Yang Lin lowered his head to pour the wine, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and it disappeared in an instant, and he said calmly: "Okay."
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Tong Guan staggered out of the private room, and Yang Lin's face turned red from drinking.
Several young generals from the Shengjie Army stepped forward and diligently supported their father. The Shengjie Army were all orphans adopted by Tong Guan. They were loyal to him and were not afraid of death in battles. No wonder he had the confidence to do so.
Come and challenge.
Yang Lin waved Tong Guan away and returned to the private room with a gloomy face. Lu Qian followed up and asked: "Young Master, the people in Xiaolang Camp have said in the past few days that Tong Guan has been mobilizing troops frequently and seems to be taking action."
Yang Lin picked up the wine, took a sip, narrowed his eyes and said, "If you don't kill this thief, he will ruin my life sooner or later."
Tong Guan was not an ordinary person. Even Lu Qian was shocked after hearing these words.
"Young Master, think twice. This eunuch is someone close to the official family."
"The victorious army has quite a strong fighting force. I saw their actions today. They are very lawful and make people envious." Yang Lin suddenly changed his words.
Lu Qian was speechless for a while. You want to kill someone, and you also have a crush on their private soldiers. Once you kill Tong Guan, these young men with strong soldiers and horses will not all be enemies of life and death.
The Shengjie Army is to Tong Guan what the Long Live Battalion is to Yang Lin. They are their confidants and absolutely loyal private soldiers.
Yang Lin drank another glass of wine, slapped the table and said: "I have been sitting in the Hejian Mansion for so long, and all the civil and military officers around me have not come to pay my respects? This eunuch has just come now, and it is clear that he wants to give me a blow. I have to
I have to find a way to kill Tong Guan and let his Shengjie Army be used for my use." Yang Lin pinched his chin and said slowly. The six maids next to him secretly exclaimed, what kind of concubine did the young lady find?
Husband, he plans to kill someone every day. Just now he was so affectionate with someone, and now he wants to kill him. It is simply too scary.
Lu Qian even stepped forward, pushed his chopsticks, and advised: "Young Master, don't just drink, eat vegetables and eat vegetables, otherwise it will hurt your stomach."
