Chapter 879 War

5days ago traverse Novels 3
The Liao Kingdom has already been in the snow and ice, and the cold will continue until the spring of the following year.

Wrapped in thick fur, Yang Gun walked into the tent and took a picture of the snowflakes on his body, and saw someone laying bricks inside.

He was a middle-aged Han man, wearing a short robe sewn in sheepskin, and his hands were covered with mud while doing his work.

The Han people turned their heads and looked at Yang Gun, but they did not bow and held the tribute. They still spoke in Chinese while working, and this is called a kang. It is said that when Emperor Xu went to the north to fight, he could not withstand the severe cold at night, so he built a stove with earthen bricks and set up a bed on the stove. No matter how cold the weather is, he will not sleep cold.

Are there other spies in going to Beijing?Yang Gun ignored his words and said in a deep voice, What if someone else is caught, what should I do if you confess?

The Han people glanced at the heavy snow like goose feathers outside the tent and whispered: Don't worry, Mr. Yang, no matter who you catch, you can't give me.

Yang Gun asked: How can I see it?

Han people said: For an important person like Yang Gong, the Military and Caosi have a separate way and a single line of contact.No one in Shangjing except Gong Yang knew who I was. There was only one person in the branch above who contacted me and was responsible for conveying the news of Gong Jing from Tokyo; and the branch was not in the territory of Liao... After Gong Yang became an official, he became more and more afraid of trouble?

Yang Gun said annoyedly: When Mr. Xiao falls, don’t threaten me.He thought about it and said, "The matter in Hedong is without any evidence, I will not admit it!"

The Han man was not angry, but instead said kindly: Mr. Yang, how could we ever want to threaten you?

Yang Gun looked at him sneered.

The Han people said earnestly: It is no longer appropriate to treat people as slaves, and this is a mutual benefit.How can Mr. Yang communicate with us without any benefits?For example, now that Mr. Yang has taken over Fan Zhongyi's detailed work, I have a news to reveal to you below. After the beginning of spring, Xu Jun will use troops to the Northeast.

Yang Gun said: Who knows the truth or falsehood?Even if the news is true, the fake news in Hedong caused a great loss to the Liao army, and now no one dares to believe it.

The Han people said: It is Yang Gong’s business to find out the news, but it is someone else’s business to believe it or not.After saying that, he took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed it to Yang Gun.

Yang Gun suddenly grabbed it, stepped out of the tent, turned around and said coldly: After finishing work, leave quickly!

When I lifted the thick curtain, the howling wind suddenly became louder, and the wind and snow outside were still there.The undulating wilderness was covered with white space, and the houses, tents and people in Shangjing seemed to be hidden in the wind and snow.

Yang Gun looked up at the snowflakes all over the sky, standing in the snow without moving, hoping that the cold wind would make him awake.

He just said some tough words, but he was sure that Xu Guoren was unwilling to sell him... because he had already entered the Northern Court, which was very useful to Xu Guoren.

But how dare Yang Gun break up with the people of Xu?

The lives of those tens of thousands of soldiers are not trivial. As long as there is a clue that involves Yang Gun's head, he will definitely be finished!

He stood for a while and then walked into another felt tent inside the fence.

A woman was kneeling on the ground, carefully blowing the charcoal fire in the stove with a bamboo tube.

Yang Gun said: When the kang is repaired, stay there warm.

The woman nodded and responded, continuing to blow the flames.

Yang Gun took out the paper just now and looked at it carefully. It read the news from the spy who was planted in Xu State in the Liao Dynasty. The spy was written in Chinese characters because of the Han people.

At this moment, someone shouted in the tent. Yang Gun went out to take a look and the person came to bow and said, "The Privy Councilor asked Yang's affairs to come to the affairs of the mansion."

I'll change my clothes.Yang Gun replied.

The Privy Councilor of the Northern Court is now Yelu Xizhen. Yelu Xizhen has been in a high position for many years and does not live in a tent. He has a mansion in the north city of Shangjing.

Most of the Khitans still had nomadic customs, and only the central ministers had settled houses in the northern city.

When Yang Gun came to Yelu Xizhen's mansion, he suddenly felt much warmer.

In addition to Yelu Xizhen, there were Xiao Siwen, Yelu Huer and several tribal nobles in the hall.

Yelu Hu'er greeted Yang Gun very enthusiastically because Yang Gun saved his life.

Yelu Xizhen said calmly: We are talking about the situation in Dandong Kingdom (the old land of the Bohai Sea). Yang Mansion is quite knowledgeable about Xu Jun, so I will send someone to ask you to talk.

After Yang Gun bowed, he immediately took out the paper in his arms and handed it to Yelu Xizhen: The news that Xiaguan only received was not long ago.

Several people spread the news, and Yelu Xizhen muttered: This news is true?

Yang Gun said: It turns out that most of the spies Fan Zhongyi and those who were killed by Xu Guo.These detailed works are re-buyed, and they should not be found out so quickly.

Yelu Xizhen said: Xu Jun built a fortress in Longshan (Huludao) in Jinzhou, and there was obviously a map of advancing eastward.Dandong Kingdom is the place where Yizong is prospered, and there must be no mistakes!

Yang Gun understood the meaning of Yelu Xizhen's mention of Yizong.

When Taizu destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, Liao Yizong Yelu Bei was the first king of Dongdan; after Yelu Bei was killed, the eldest son of Yizong was Yelu Ruan, who succeeded the King of Dandong. Yelu Ruan was the eldest son of Liao Shizong...

Although the king was abolished after the Dongdan Kingdom and its territory became directly under the Daliao court, the Yizong lineage placed many of its own people here; therefore, the old land of the Bohai Sea in the northeast is the foundation of the Yizong lineage and an important part of the Daliao national strength.

Xiao Siwen said: Xu's country lacks horse soldiers. If he goes deep into Dongdan this time, he will definitely be defeated!

Yelu Xizhen said again: The Great Liao Dynasty has suffered too much damage in recent years. Hedong has been defeated recently. It is probably not a good thing to continue the war.

Xiao Siwen frowned and said: Do you want to give up Dongdan, and the Khitan tribes shrink their power and escape into the grassland?

My coach’s meaning is to discuss peace.Yelu Xizhen said in a deep voice.

Xiao Siwen's face turned red: If the Liao Dynasty seeks peace, how can it remain?

The atmosphere suddenly solidified and no one else said anything.

Yang Gun was also unwilling to express his opinion easily to avoid being attacked.

He had just relied on Yelu Xizhen's brothers to establish a place in the Great Liao court. His foundation was not stable, so he had to do everything with caution.

Yelu Xizhen said: The Liao Dynasty had been in civil turmoil for many years, but it was not damaged. The two major defeats that really shook its strength were both great battles with Xu.Once, Yelu Xiuge was defeated in Youzhou, and once, Xiaoduli, Hedong, the elite soldiers suffered heavy losses... In addition, when Pingxia rescued Li Yiyin, Yang Gun also suffered a lot of losses.If this situation cannot be resolved, it will be difficult for the Liao Dynasty to maintain its current power.

Xiao Siwen still shook his head: The Liao Dynasty wanted to show weakness to others, which was the source of the disaster that the surrendered tribe wanted to take risks!

There was endless debate in the hall about this matter. Yang Gun came to give advice on tactics, but now he had no way to talk about it.Until the evening, everyone parted in a bad mood.

Yang Gun and Xiao Siwen left Yelu Xizhen's mansion together. Before leaving, Xiao Siwen held Yang Gun's hand and sighed: I originally thought that Yang Ye's affairs would be accomplished. If you make contributions, I will try to restore your official position and restore your fiefdom. Unexpectedly, that guy Fan Zhongyi ruined the big thing!General Yang is talented, but he can only do a small matter in his home. It's a pity!

After hearing this, Yang Gun cursed in his heart and bowed: Thank you Mr. Xiao. It was a blessing that the lower officials were defeated in Pingxia.

Xiao Siwen nodded and said goodbye on the horse.

...There seems that there is no reliable relationship in this world. The friends and allies of the past seem to be drifting away.Xiao Siwen felt that Yelu Xizhen had very different political views from his own.

It cannot be said that Yelu Xizhen’s claim is wrong, it’s just that he considers different things... Xiao Siwen is not willing to believe that Yelu Xizhen is a weak person!

Xiao Siwen closed his eyes and seemed to be able to see the burning Youzhou City, the stolen land, and the countless Khitans who were killed!

He has never looked down on the Southern people, and in recent years, worries have become reality.

Want to bow to the enemy and his lifelong enemy?Xiao Siwen still shook her head.

The Khitans built a country with martial law, and would rather break than bend!

There is something even more difficult to solve... Xiao Siwen is the culprit when he intends to assassinate Emperor Guo Blacksmith.

If the Liao Dynasty took the initiative to seek peace from Xu State, what happened?

Will Guo Blacksmith generously ignore peace between the two countries; or will he regard Xiao Siwen himself as a condition for peace talks?

The next morning, Xiao Siwen went to Shangjing Palace. Emperor Yelu Xian had already cleaned up under the service of all the attendants and wanted to handle the memorial.

Xiao Siwen stepped forward and bowed, meeting with the rituals of the king and the minister.After saying a while, Xiao Siwen said quietly: The blacksmith of Xu Guo is a lewd person, I am afraid that the little girl YànYàn can no longer escape the clutches of the devil...

Eighteen-year-old Yelu Xian's face suddenly turned red, and his shame and anger overflowed.

Xiao Siwen advised with kind words: It’s just that YànYàn is not blessed. The Khan should have chosen one of the people from the Xiao clan as his queen.

Yelu Xian was a little excited and clenched his fists with both hands and said: This is the case with the country, how can I have the heart?

Xiao Siwen said kindly: It is related to the foundation of the country, and it is also a major national event after the founding of the Khan.

Yelu Xian was not a stubborn person. Although he looked very angry, he still gave in: I just listened to the words of the ministers.

Xiao Siwen stepped forward and said in a deep voice: If you think about YànYàn, there are many women in the clan, and there are always people with similar appearances.

Xiao Chuo is Xiao Siwen's biological daughter. If she looks similar, she is probably Xiao Siwen's relative...

Yelu Xian was able to sit on the throne of Emperor Daliao, and Xiao Siwen did make the most of his achievements, but Xiao Siwen was not the only one who helped Yelu Xian to the throne; now Yelu Xizhen has become the Privy Councilor of the Northern Court, and Xiao YiànYàn has not become the queen as he wishes.

However, Xiao Siwen believed that he still had a status in front of the Khan... Yelu Xizhen cared about Xiao Siwen's proposal very much, and this is the reason.

Yelu Xiandao: I remember YànYàn in my heart, but it was not because of her beauty.

When Yelu Xian got up early in the morning, he looked in a bad mood because he mentioned YànYàn, so he put down the memorial in his hand. He walked to the window and looked at the snow outside for a long time without saying a word.

The white light reflected in the snow, making Yelu Xian's face in the hall very clear.

Xiao Siwen looked at Dahan's side face calmly, pondering the slightly changing emotions... After all, Dahan, who is only eighteen years old, will not be too scheming even if he is scheming.
