Chapter 400 The general's exploits shocked the world
Regarding this fierce battle at Zhuolu Mountain, the small court of Khitan Yunzhou quickly got the news, and the Yunzhou government, which was enduring the fierce attack of Aguda, was jubilant.
It happened that at this time, several Khitan young generals who were on an envoy to the Song Dynasty returned to Datong City, Yunzhou Prefecture, with Gao Bing.
The suburbs of Datong were overcrowded. Although the Jurchens were wreaking havoc nearby, Yelu Yanxi still came in person to welcome Gao Bing into the city.
With this kind of treatment, Yang Lin might not receive such courtesy even when he came. In the eyes of Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi, Gao Bing was nothing more than his own life-saving straw.
There was a long team dragging in the distance, with Yelu Muxun, Yu Shinan and Gao Bing marching hand in hand.
They all had pride on their faces, because a few of them brought back 100,000 shi of rice from the Song Dynasty, as well as 3,000 pairs of armor, and no equipment to defend the city.
The Mongolian tribes on the Western Liao Road were slowly being transported over to capture Youyan. In addition to being happy, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were also a little bit worried. This time they had offended the Jurchens too badly.
The reputation of that group of ferocious savages spread all over the world because of the battle against Liao. With only 20,000 troops, they defeated Liao to pieces within a year. Who would not be frightened by this achievement?
Therefore, Huizong Zhao Ji was a rare act of generosity and gave some generous gifts to these Liao people, which made Yelu Muxun and others so arrogant.
When the group arrived at the outskirts of the city and saw Yelu Yanxi's support, they quickly got off their horses and saluted.
Yelu Yanxi held Gao Handle's arm and said affectionately: "General Gao is back, and my heart is a little at peace."
There were many Khitan generals who came with him around, and they were all filled with righteous indignation, humiliation and resentment.
Xiao Sixian shook his head secretly in his heart. At this time of year, when the Liao country was in crisis, it was time to rely on its generals. Yelu Yanxi offended all the generals with a casual word. This king of subjugation should really be regarded as
Not unjust.
Although he is a treacherous person, he is not stupid at all, otherwise he would not have suppressed all the officials of Daliao and dominated the position for so many years.
Gao Bing was moved to tears and followed them into Datong City. This solid city had experienced thousands of offensive and defensive battles and had always been a Han family vassal, no less than Yanjing City.
Now in the hands of the Khitan, it has almost become a puppet of the Song Dynasty. After Yelu Yanxi entered the palace, he had already set up a banquet to entertain Gao Bing and the Song envoys, as well as Yelu Muxun and others who had made great contributions to the Khitan.
people.
Although the Khitan has reached this stage, the food and wine during the banquet are still extravagant and luxurious, and the singing and dancing of the palace ladies are no better than when they went to Beijing.
After Gao Bian sat down, he took a sip, with an intoxicated look on his face. Gao Yanei was not a person who had never seen the world, but he was really tired from being tormented by Yang Lin these few times. He took a sip of wine and said in his heart: This
This is the life that the damn Yanai should live. A person who knows how to enjoy things like Shaozai in the land of Youyan, actually eats the same food as Datoubing every day. It is really delicious.
How did he know that Yang Lin was not without conditions to be as extravagant as Yelu Yanxi, but in the army, if you were eating and drinking every day, what would those fighting soldiers think? It would be a huge damage to morale, and Yang Lin and the soldiers would eat
It's the same as everything, with a little bit of stir-fry at most. It may seem inconspicuous, but it's actually very important. In ancient times, generals relied on these little details to win over their troops.
Yelu Yanxi was drunk and asked about the customs and customs of the Song Dynasty with narrowed eyes. Yelu Muxun, Yu Shinan and others boasted to him about the boundless magnificence of Bianliang in Tokyo.
Yu Shinan's words were full of excitement, Yelu Yanxi's heart was filled with excitement when he heard it, and all the Khitan civil and military officials in the hall sighed and looked sad.
Although they thought they were not loyal generals, they did not expect that His Majesty was so stupid. It seemed that it would be impossible to save the Khitan's thousands of miles of territory.
We all have families and families to support, so we have to find a way out for ourselves.
Half of the eyes of the Khitan minister in the hall were on Gao Handle, who was drinking and had a rosy face——
Yang Lin, the young master, defeated Youyan and made extraordinary achievements.
Emperor Daojun, adhering to his father's legacy, wanted to make him a king and grant him the land of Youyan. The emperor issued an order and asked Mingtang to discuss the name of the king.
In the Mingtang Lecture Department, all the civil servants were envious and jealous. Some said that he would be granted the title of Prince of Guangyang, some said that he would be granted the title of Prince of Wuqing, and some suggested that King Yan was obviously trying to kill him.
Cai Jing twirled his beard and chuckled: "Just choose any one. I think he will probably not want this prince."
"Don't want Wang Jue?" Everyone was dumbfounded. Did Cai Xiang not wake up today? What is the concept of Wang Jue? The kings with different surnames in the Song Dynasty were all given it because of their merits in accepting land and dedicating themselves to the country. After Wu Yue surrendered, he got King Deng.
, Duan Zhengchun of Dali was King Shen, and there was no one else.
With such a noble status, who in the world can resist this temptation, let alone the impression that Yang Lin's servant has in everyone's mind that he can fight for anything.
Cai Jing thought to himself, even if this king hits me on the head, I may not be able to resist it. But Yang Wenyuan can probably resist it, but this boy cannot be judged by common sense.
The king is noble, but he is also easily hated by others. Once you are crowned king, countless pairs of eyes will be waiting to stare at you. Anything that is not in line with the rules will be like poking a hornet's nest.
In April, Cai Jing submitted a letter, and Mingtang agreed that the title of the king should be: Pinglu County Prince.
When the news reached Hebei, Yang Lin, who was building a city in Tianjin, sent three memorials in one day, asking for his resignation.
For a time, the whole world looked at him with side eyes and praised him. Even his political opponents who had a quarrel with him couldn't help but admire him in their hearts.
Yang Lin, who had just become famous for regaining Youyan, was once again cast in the light of righteousness.
The Yang family scholars in Bianliang were getting bigger and bigger, and everyone was proud of their faces. They even more desperately advocated Yang Lin's great achievements and indifference to fame and fortune, and countless hymns resounded throughout the Song Dynasty.
Yin Muhong was originally responsible for building momentum for Yang Lin, but this time he did not dare to add icing on the cake, and even began to deliberately suppress him.
However, the response from the people to the two events of regaining Youyan and resigning as king was really too great. Throughout the thousand years of history, there have been few such figures. The Song Dynasty finally looked forward to its own hero.
On a huge rock by the sea, Yang Lin looked at the increasingly lively Tianjin Port and chuckled inadvertently. The recovery of Youyan in the next few years will begin to take shape in this bustling port.
The sea breeze blew waves and slapped the rocks. Ruan Xiaoqi kept chattering, reporting on his achievements in the Chengdu Navy over the years, but Yang Lin didn't listen to a single word.
Resting his head on his arms, he lay down gently and looked at the blue sky. Yang Lin asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Ruan Xiaoqi was confused and at a loss.
"It's been a while since the seal whip was delivered?"
