Outside Chang'an City, Yang Lin left in a happy mood. When he came, he really didn't expect that his trip to Qinlong would have such a result.
Lu Qian came up to him, and seeing that he was in a good mood, he also smiled and asked, "Young Master, should you go to Yan'an Mansion?"
Yang Lin pulled the reins of the horse and said with a smile: "There is nothing interesting to see in Yan'an Mansion. The officials of Qinlong are so united that they impress people. Let's go to Shuozhou and go straight to Yunnei via Shuozhou. The Jin people are planning to go south.
Why not take the opportunity to inspect the Great Wall defense line."
Lu Qian looked at the carriage behind him. There was a gap in the curtain. It was obvious that the people inside were peeking out of the carriage.
He chuckled softly in his heart and asked: "Young Master, the border is a place where the war is raging. Are the two young ladies going to be sent to Bianliang by another way?"
Yang Lin glanced at him sideways, and said in a strange way: "I'm newlywed, I haven't played yet... I haven't had enough fun yet, so I'm sending you away to sleep with me?"
"Forget it, I'm not good at this." Lu Qian said with a smile. Yang Lin is in a good mood right now, and you can tell it personally. At this time, the guards around him always like to joke with him.
Whenever he frowns, you have to stay as far away as possible, otherwise he will definitely become a loser and receive a scolding for no reason.
"Go away." Yang Lin laughed and scolded: "It doesn't matter, when we get to Shuozhou, I will order a light armor for them. It's really hard to take care of everyone around me. That bastard, Old Man Zhu, there was a centipede in the bed he made for me last time.
I hugged the quilt and huddled on the bed and didn’t sleep all night.”
Lu Qian was so happy that his molars were exposed, and he laughed and said: "Young Master is such a hero, why are you afraid of a few bugs?"
Yang Lin said angrily: "I hate this. It's scarier than a beast, and I have goosebumps all over my body."
There was a slight cough from the carriage curtain, Yang Lin slowed down, and when he reached the carriage, he showed a small round face that was both angry and happy: "We also want to go riding."
"Can you do it?" Yang Lin looked at the little Taoist nun and asked with doubt on his face.
"Take us with you!" said a voice from the side.
Yang Lin jumped off the horse, got into the carriage, held each other in his arms and said, "Nonsense, can you ride a horse in these clothes? Besides, what will it look like if someone sees me? I don't know who I am, so I thought I was a lecher."
"
The two girls were both wearing the same moon-white skirts, and they looked very lovely. What Yang Lin liked most was their liveliness and joy, which was very cute.
The two little girls smiled at each other and squinted at him, obviously acquiescing that this man was a lecher.
Yang Lin chuckled, took a cushion to rest on, lay down on the couch, patted his thigh and said, "Come on, practice riding with me first!"

After the city of Ani was captured by the Liao people, Samarkand, the outpost of Karakhan, had already received the news.
This place was too far away from the mainland of the Song Dynasty, so the officials guarding the place hurriedly sent the news back to the Song Dynasty.
Just halfway, the news reached Yang Lin's ears that Yelu Dashi had actually escaped to such a far place and had already taken root.
Yang Lin was a little surprised, but it was too far away. The gains of the army's westward expedition outweighed the losses. The enemy was in the north and was ready to go south at any time.
Yang Lin ordered the people in the Western Region Protectorate to keep a close eye on the Liao people's actions, deploy troops and horses to defend, repair and strengthen the city walls. Now that the place is full of smoke, it will definitely affect the flow of businessmen. It is best to send people to deal with Yelu Dashi.
Okay, let’s talk about the “traditional friendship” between Song and Liao.
There are no eternal enemies in this world. With current interests, we all have money to make money together. Wouldn’t it be fun to make money from white-skinned people in the West?
From Yang Lin's point of view, he secretly thought that people other than the Han people would not miss their homeland. Yelu Dashi knew it well, knew the current affairs best, and never acted out of emotion. Besides, there was no way to distinguish the grudges between Song and Liao.
He said that in the end he tried to escape the golden cicada, but he was not kind. He almost killed the young Taiwei Yao Pingzhong and his 100,000 Qin Feng troops in Datong City.
After careful consideration, Yang Lin added a message at the end of the letter that he could work with Yelu Dashi to divide Khwarezm if necessary. Yang Lin believed that since Yelu Dashi had built an empire in the west, he would not covet territory in the east.
When the order reached Samarkand, Yelu Dashi and the Seljuks had already captured the entire western Khwarezm.
The Liao people's iron cavalry was directed towards Damascus. At this point, the Liao people's territory reached the Mediterranean Sea.
Yelu Dashi himself was a little surprised by this dreamlike speed of territorial expansion. Although the current territory is still far less than one-tenth of the original Daliao, it is already amazing enough.
Riding on the bank of the Euphrates River, Yelu Dashi looked at the fierce general Xiao Baobao beside him. His body was covered with blood. He took off his helmet, revealing the traditional Khitan short hair and beard. He was used to groveling and bending before the people of Song Dynasty.
The compatriots who laughed in front of him became even more fond of such a brave man.
The more Yelu Dashi looked at it, the more he liked it, and his heart felt really happy. He took off his helmet and exposed his hair.
"Your Majesty, several cities in the west have been divided by us. It will be a matter of time to capture them. I think it is better to send a few people to recruit surrender. Maybe we can fight without blood."
Yelu Dashi smiled softly and said: "I just found out today that Taizu was so happy when he swept across the world and looked down upon everything, and that's what a man should do! Send a few people to Mosul City with the head of the city lord here, and tell them
If he is willing to surrender, I will continue to use him as the lord of the city. If there is a soldier who resists with a sword, the city will be full of people, old and young, and no one will be left alive!"
The divided Khwarezm moved all its troops to the east and sent people to ask for help from the original Karakhan land, now the Western Regions Protectorate of the Song Dynasty. They asked the Western Regions Protectorate to send troops to help them repel the Liao people.
.
Three days later, the Khitan envoys to persuade them to surrender were all killed.
On the city of Mosul, a few young heads were thrown away. The city lord Asi stood on the top of the Emma Wade Mosque, facing the 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and swore to defend the city and kill all the Khitan invaders.
In the Liao tent outside the city, Yelu's big stone stood up from the table, pulled out his sword and split the table into two halves.
"After the city is conquered, no one will be left alive. I will not take any of the wealth in the city, but I will share it with my head!"
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of cheers in the tent. This place is located in the middle of several civilizations, connecting the southeast and northwest. It has always been the only way for merchants to pass through. I don't know how much wealth has been accumulated.
All the Khitan people have been aroused with infinite fighting spirit and are waiting to rob the infinite wealth.
Yelu Dashi did not make the decision after being furious. In fact, he was very calm in his heart. By doing this, he was establishing absolute power. He had already forgiven and reused many city lords who surrendered in Kaicheng.
There were not many Liao people. Although Yelu Dashi encouraged all Liao people to seize local women, within ten years, they could not grow up to be qualified warriors.
If he wants to continue to expand, he must imitate the Jurchens and make good use of the foreign races he has conquered.
It's enough to show kindness, now he wants to establish his authority, and the most direct way is this.
He wanted everyone to know the consequences of resisting him. From now on, the lord of every city that the Liao people faced must think about the consequences of surrendering and fighting to the death.
Even if the city lord wants to fight to the death, the people in the city must think about whether they have to risk the lives of their entire clan for him.
