Chapter 370: The literati is deeply scheming, nine songs and eighteen detours
There is an endless flow of people in Hejian Mansion. Yang Lin is stationed here and mobilizes almost all the businesses around him.
The carriages and horses that came and went stored countless supplies here, and even the powerful men of Yan State sent their men to contact them in advance.
Troubled times are coming, and they are in Youyan, so they must find the right person to join them.
This is a decision and judgment that risks the prosperity and decline of the whole clan. Some people turn to the Jurchens, some turn to the Song Dynasty, and most of them are still hesitating between the two.
Yang Lin's other courtyard has already welcomed many such internal agents from the Yan region. They are powerful gentry from the towns outside Youyan Military State, and they also hold some private soldiers with good combat capabilities.
In troubled times, those seemingly powerful local snakes are like fallen leaves blowing in the wind. If they are not careful, they will be crushed into dust.
In the small courtyard, there were several big men standing in front of Yang Lin, and boxes were placed on the ground.
He walked over and opened it gently. It was full of jewelry and treasures. Yang Lin said with a smile: "Although these things are redundant, I don't worry about your master not accepting them. In this case, I will reluctantly take them. I will tell you when I get back.
My masters, wait with peace of mind for the Great Song Dynasty to enter Yan, and they will definitely be needed to govern Youyan by then."
Several big men felt relieved. They looked at each other and their companions had the same joy in their eyes. The leader cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Young Master."
Yang Lin waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
Several men turned around and left respectfully, and almost bumped into a dusty soldier at the door. The soldier didn't answer and rushed into the courtyard happily.
"Young Master, I'm back." The person who came was none other than Lu Qian, who had completed his mission.
Yang Lin knew what he was doing and asked calmly: "Don't tell me what to do, I guess Yelu Chun must agree."
Lu Qian came to the table, took a new bowl and took a sip of water. He wiped his mouth and said, "Young Zai has a clever plan. Yelu Chun has already agreed. As long as our food, grass and arrows are in place, they will take action."
"This matter must be done by the personal guards of the Long Live Battalion. No outsider can know about it. Do you understand?" Yang Lin said with a serious face.
Lu Qian nodded and said: "That's natural, but Shaozai, we will break into Youyan sooner or later. Wouldn't it mean that being so prepared for the enemy will allow them to use it to resist our army in the future?"
Yang Lin sighed and said, "You think I'm just here to kill Tong Guan? To tell you the truth, killing Tong Guan is just an introduction to lead to the cooperation of us Liao people later.
What I want are people like Yelu Chun to block the first round of Jurchen attacks for me and prevent them all from falling. This is the main purpose of our doing this. As for whether to kill Tong Guan or not, I will give one to the Liao people.
It's just a bargaining chip. Without this bargaining chip, how could they trust me and cooperate with me?
If they can't even stop them in the first round and abandon the city like Yelu Yanxi, our opponent will no longer be the Khitan soldiers and horses who are in constant panic, but the Jurchen Tatars with overwhelming momentum.
Taking You Yan back from the hands of the Liao people is easy, but taking food from the hands of the Jurchens will require a lot of physical and mental injuries. It is better to let Yelu Chun fight. When the time comes that he will run out of food and food and is desperate, I will be merciful
Allowing him to return to the Song Dynasty and let us take over the defense is the best result."
Lu Qian pondered for a while and said: "Young Master values the Tatars so much. He told me that it was only Yelu Yanxi's incompetence that exaggerated their combat power. Since Youyan is right in front of you, why not go all out and capture it?"
Ten military states.”
Yang Lin smiled bitterly. Even at this time, there are still too many people who despise the Jurchens.
After all, their tribe has too few people, and no one would regard such a small tribe as a serious problem, because they don't even know what the shame of Jingkang is.
"Today in Youyan, we, the Jurchens, and Yelu Chun are all enemies of each other. No matter who makes the first move, one of them is sitting on the mountain watching the fight between tigers and waiting to take advantage. We must stay calm. It can be imagined that Bianliang has recently
I will definitely keep urging them. Let me kill Tong Guan first and find something for them to do. Don't push too hard.
If Tong Guan is still alive, is consistent with them internally and externally, is colluding with them, and is clamoring to send troops every day, I may not be able to suppress him here. After all, it is to restore Youyan, this matter is too important."
Lu Qian was convinced. Although he participated in the whole process, he didn't know Shaozai's full thoughts until now. He used to think that Shaozai just wanted to kill his political enemy Tong Guan, but his thinking was too superficial.
Yang Lin stood up and said: "You have worked hard running back and forth. Go back and rest."——
The flags cover the sun, the horses scream like thunder, and the swords and spears are like a forest.
In Tong Guan's camp near the Baigou River, everyone was sharpening their guns and polishing their swords, just waiting to fight.
Tong Guan sat in the tent, smiled and said to the generals below: "The situation is now clear. I don't know what Yang Lin is still hesitating about.
After all, I am a civil servant, so I look forward and backward. If the official family gave this deputy marshal of soldiers and horses to a certain family, I would already be congratulating you in Yanjing City with you."
He really couldn't wait any longer. Since ancient times, eunuchs have made greater military achievements than those in the Northern Song Dynasty. First, Qin Han made many military exploits. He was injured forty-nine times and made countless extraordinary achievements. His reputation was no less than that of famous ministers.
Then there is Tong Guan's old superior Li Xian, who restored Lanzhou and burned Tiandu Mountain, the Holy Land of Xixia, and is considered a good general.
Tong Guan has a high self-esteem and feels that as long as he has the opportunity, he will be able to make greater contributions.
In his opinion, the last battle to extinguish Xia was his own merit, and it was just stolen by Yang Lin.
Now that he has a greater achievement in front of him, if he enters Yanjing City first, Liang Yinxiang will definitely protect himself and become the king. What else can I ask for at that time?
So what if there are no eggs? How can you compare the achievements made by a certain family?
"You must rest and recuperate these days, take out all our meat, let the sons and daughters eat well, and prepare to fight for someone."
All the generals in the tent were his confidants, so they naturally followed him and flattered him wildly. Tong Guan's face turned red, his face was calm, and he was enjoying it.
Suddenly the door curtain opened, and a burly young general came in, clasped his fists and said: "The young envoy, the Young Master, has an order. We want the envoy to meet at the river. Important industrial, commercial, military and aircraft matters must not be delayed."
Tong Guan slammed the table, his face flushed with excitement, and said: "Yang Wenyuan is finally going to take action? Wang Zhen, what did he tell you?"
Wang Xin wiped his eyelids, lowered his head and said: "Envoy, how can such a major event be heard by all the generals in charge of the envoys?"
It's not his fault for being vague. Wang Zhen didn't know why he asked Tong Guan to go. Although the Hejian area was heavily armed, he had never heard of any intention to send troops.
With a cold snort, Tong Guan said: "Come here, prepare your horses, let's go to Hejian Mansion!"
