Chapter three hundred and seventy-two: the border without the flag, try to sweep Youyan
Before the war started, Yan Yun first defeated the general Tong Guan, and the Song court was in an uproar.
Yang Lin, deputy marshal of troops and horses, fainted several times outside Hejian Mansion, beat his chest and cried loudly.
But there were still people who doubted him, such as Liang Shicheng. On the first day when the news came, Liang Shicheng's eyes went dark at home, he was so furious that he almost vomited blood.
He once sent Wang Fu out to gain some military glory at the border and regroup, but Wang Fu died.
Now Tong Guan has joined his sect and wants to rise again. He is waiting to be crowned king in Hejian Mansion, but Tong Guan is also dead.
The people who know you best are often your enemies. Liang Shicheng was very familiar with Yang Lin. He was sure that this was Yang Lin's handiwork. Unfortunately, Zhao Ji didn't believe it and didn't want to transfer Yang Lin back because of this.
He was holding a secret report sent by his trusted aide in the Shengjie Army. The words were filled with distrust of Yang Lin, especially before Tong Guan's death. It was precisely because he received Yang Lin's order to go to Hejian to discuss military matters.
You will appear on the road full of Khitan spies and horses.
Liang Shicheng tore up the letter, dressed neatly, and rushed to Genyue with several servants.
Walking outside the garden of Genyuemen, this is the largest garden in the world. Flowers are in full bloom, fragrance is lingering, butterflies are dancing, and there is a spring light.
A person happened to meet at the door, with a fair complexion and a kind face. It was Yang Jian who was smiling.
As soon as he saw Liang Shicheng approaching, Yang Jian immediately stopped and bowed respectfully: "Master."
"Master Yang came quite early." Liang Shicheng said in a bad tone.
After squeezing a few tears, Yang Jian said sadly: "Tong Guan and we were all sent out by the chamberlain. Now that this happened to him, how can our family still be in the mood to sleep?"
Liang Shicheng cursed in his heart, you must be so happy that you can't sleep. If Tong Guan died, you would probably be overjoyed.
On the surface, kindness is still necessary. After all, this is at the door of Zhao Ji's house. Liang Shicheng sighed: "Let's mourn together. Is the official family inside?"
"The official family has just had breakfast, and the master is here just in time, so we won't waste the master's time."
Liang Shicheng nodded and stepped in without any notification. Yang Jian looked at his back. He was obviously hunched over and much older than before.
Yang Jian smiled softly and thought to himself, Taifu Liang, Prime Minister Liang Yin, you are old, and the time of covering the sky with one hand has passed.
Entering the garden, Zhao Ji had a smile on his face and was teasing Qin Huaishan, the new girl. Liang Shicheng felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, Tong Guan is also an old man next to you, so why can't he give up a little bit of sadness? In fact, he really wronged Zhao Ji. When he first heard the news of Tong Guan's death, he felt heartbroken, but it only lasted a little short.
That’s all.
This Qin Chongrong was thirteen years old, well-behaved and pleasant, and made Zhao Ji laugh with just one explanation.
"Guan family, Tong Guan is dead." Liang Shicheng saluted and opened his mouth to say.
Qin Chongrong was annoyed. She was a newcomer who had just entered the palace. She had not experienced the stage when Liang Shicheng controlled the harem when she was imprisoned. She had no fear of this old eunuch. She secretly cursed in her heart that she had just coaxed her. This was annoying.
Why is the old slave teasing me again?
Sure enough, Zhao Ji felt a little sad again and said: "If I had known this, I wouldn't have allowed him to go out to lead the troops. Tong Guan is an old man in Prince Duan's Mansion, so he must be kind to his relatives. One of his nephews will be adopted to guard his funeral.
I am specially allowed to inherit his title."
Liang Shicheng lowered his head and said: "In the official family, it is strange that Tong Guan died."
Zhao Ji's face darkened. He had doubts, but he didn't want to investigate further.
The situation in Youyan is now very good. Yang Lin has brought him too many honors and surprises. Success is imminent this time, and he doesn't want anyone to ruin the current situation.
To take a step back, even if Yang Lin kills Tong Guan, Zhao Ji will not do anything as long as he can get You Yan back.
"Tong Guan is a general of the country. I am overly sad after his death. I am a little tired. Please step back. Please comfort his relatives. On this occasion, the entire Song Dynasty must work together sincerely to take back the homeland of the Han family and comfort the queen.
The heroic spirit of our ancestor Taizong can fulfill the last wish of my father and brother."
Liang Shicheng felt as if he had been hit in the head, his heart skipped a beat, and he slowly sank to the bottom.
Liang Shicheng, who went to the palace to file a complaint, was enlightened by Zhao Ji. The general idea was that Tong Guan was a good comrade. We are all very sad when he dies. We must avenge him and not cause civil strife.
Liang Shicheng was so angry that his face looked like pig's liver. He finally experienced Yang Lin's feeling of anger and anger, and Shi Shiran withdrew from Genyue.
There will never be any evidence for this kind of thing. Even if the Khitans come out and say that Yang Lin instigated them, it will not be convincing.
After all, the two sides are now in a hostile relationship, and the enemy's testimony against our coach will be regarded more as slander rather than evidence.
Looking at the boundless spring scenery of Genyue, Liang Shicheng sighed
At this time, in the Jinming Hall, Cai Jing was holding the silk that Yang Lin had presented to him, his face as sinking as water.
Tong Guan died in Baigou River. He thought deeply about the borderland.
Back then in Yangzhou, he indulged in wine and sex and expressed his true feelings. Yang Wenyuan was like a god who could pinch and calculate, and he could see the valley in Tong Guan's heart at a glance.
He told himself that if he wanted to please Tong Guan and let him speak in front of His Majesty after entering the palace, he had to promise to help him lead his troops outside after becoming prime minister in the future.
At that time, Cai Jing was still very skeptical, but later it was proved that this statement was accurate.
From this point of view, Yang Wenyuan is really Tong Guan's confidant, but does Tong Guan's death really have nothing to do with him?
Just as he was contemplating with his eyes closed, a burst of rapid footsteps came. After Cai You came in, he looked around first and then spoke to disperse the officials in the hall, as if he was the master.
Everyone was worried about Cai Jing's face, so they all left with resentment. Mr. Cai was such a hateful person, and everyone was used to it.
Cai Jing opened his eyes and immediately frowned. When talking to his colleagues in Mingtang, he was always polite and courteous and never scolded them. After all, these were important ministers of the country.
"This is the Ming Hall, and everyone here is of lower rank than you. From now on, you must be polite when talking to others."
Cai You didn't care and stepped forward and said, "Dad, did you know that Tong Guan is dead? Hehe."
Cai Jing was furious: "Tong Guannai was a general in the country. When he died, the whole country mourned. Why are you laughing here?!"
The more Cai Jing thought about it, the angrier he became. Yang Lin was so suspected that even after Tong Guan died, he "fainted several times and cried loudly." How could his own son be so impetuous and frivolous?
Cai You came closer and said furtively: "Dad, Tong Guan is dead. Isn't it too much to give my son his share of the credit for conquering Yan?"
This is so good that the scar has forgotten the pain. Cai Jing looked at him and asked, "Have you forgotten about Fang La?"
Cai You got very angry when he mentioned this. Last time, he went to Jiangnan to take over Yang Lin's credit. Who knew that boy was so evil that he wiped out all the money that Zhu Meng had looted, leaving himself with a mess that he still has to this day?
Some people often come to Beijing to ask for accounts from me.
"My son has made up his mind this time. I won't replace Yang Lin and let him fight Youyan. I will share the credit. Isn't there another Shengjie army? I will just lead this one. When the time comes, I will join Yan.
, whoever sees it has a share, and with your face, dad, it is not impossible for this prince to fall into our Cai family."
Looking at his eldest son, Cai Jing suddenly felt emotional and laughed out loud: "Xiao Xianggong, you are such a hero, but do you know where Guan Hejian Mansion is over there?
Do you know how many soldiers and horses King Yelu Chun of Yan has, how many preparations the Song Dynasty has, how many generals we have; which general is good at fighting; which secretary is more resourceful; which state or county is high; which dangerous pass is difficult to attack.
You think you can replace Yang Lin alone, but do you know how long he has been planning for the current situation and how much he has done?"
Speaking of this, Cai Jing himself admired him a bit. He divided and controlled the Western Army, suppressed the northwest generals, promoted young generals such as Yao Pingzhong, Han Shizhong, and Wang Zhen who had been suppressed. He arranged for Zongze to go to Hejian Prefecture, and sent Qin Hui, Gao Bing, etc.
People enter Liao
Now it seems that everything is for Youyan, who has worked hard for so long to achieve the great situation now. He knows his son very well, and once he is sent there, it is really possible that it will be messed up.
A series of questions left Cai You speechless, and he gradually became angry. He cursed that his father was really stupid. He didn't help his son to get promoted, and he kept restraining him at every turn.
He frowned and said: "After my son is gone, he will naturally understand. Doesn't dad know about the famous dandy Gao Liang in Bianliang, Gao Bing, the son of Taiwei Gao Qiu?
That guy is useless. He has made great achievements many times. I heard that the officials have rewarded Gao Qiu several times. Is his son not even as good as a high handle?"
Cai Jing was very unkind and nodded, almost angering his son to death——
In Hejian Mansion, the city is full of silk fabrics, and people pay homage to Tong Guan.
Yang Lin, who was almost fainting from crying, lay on his side on the soft couch, panting.
Although the stove was burning in the bedroom, there was still a bit of chill coming in. Baozhu, the maid who was cleaning him, blushed and took a fur to cover him.
In the past few days, a wealthy family in Yan secretly sent beauties from the clan, hoping to establish a good relationship with the Song Dynasty in advance. Yang Lin had nothing to do, so he sent Zhe Huanxiang to offer incense to fulfill his wish, and then gave the money he had saved for a long time.
Among the seven beauties, the three most desirable ones were selected and took the red pill.
At this time, there was an announcement, and Lu Qian heard a woman laughing outside the door, so he stopped and loudly said through the door: "Young Zai, Tong Guan's funeral has been arranged, and the imperial court has decreed that he
The coffin was carried back to Bianliang."
He also had some admiration in his heart. He was worthy of being a young master, and he was very accurate. As expected, the court did not investigate the cause of Tong Guan's death.
Yang Lin wore a big cloak, walked to the door, and said to Lu Qian: "We are preaching avenge Tong Guan, and we are sending a small team to the Liao border to raid. We will leave some equipment after beating it, and there are some You Yan."
The local snake has established itself in this border area. It is clear that it looks down on the Song Dynasty and thinks that we can't defeat it. It actually dares not to send people to ventilate the country in advance.
These people will be a hidden danger once we attack Yan. I have sent scouts to investigate clearly, and they will be wiped out in the next few days. Go and make peace with Yelu Dashi. When we fight, the Khitans should not interfere.
The weather is getting warmer and warmer, and the Jurchens cannot rest for a few more days. Now this guy just wants to take our supplies and go north to resist the Jurchens. He will definitely not care about the life and death of these traitors."
"Traitor?"
"As a Han, if you don't want to restore the king's service to your homeland, you are nothing more than a traitor." Yang Lin pulled Lu Qian to the study, pulled out a parchment map and gave it to him, and told him: "I marked it with circles.
Those who often followed the Khitans south to plunder, so they should be destroyed first. Those marked with triangles are a group of fence-sitters who are waiting for the outcome to be decided before defecting. This kind of people can attack the mountains first to sway the tigers, and do not rush to deal with them."
Lu Qian remembered them all in his mind, put the rolled parchment in his sleeve, and asked, "Young Master, what should I do with the Victory Army?"
"Let Han Shizhong go, he is a veteran and a ruffian, it will be easy to subdue these young generals."
After Yang Lin finished speaking, he curled up his lips and said with a smile: "We are sitting on the mountain in Hejian Mansion watching the tigers fight. If we stand still, it will inevitably be a disgrace. It would be good to train our troops against these powerful Yan people who are unwilling to defect.
.I practiced a lot today, and I saw blood with every gun."
