Chang'an's reaction was somewhat beyond Yang Xuan's expectations.

He originally thought that Chang'an would tolerate it for the time being and wait for all preparations to be made before making a big splash to create public opinion and then march north.

But obviously the emperor didn't want to endure it anymore, and took advantage of the power of taking over the three states in northern Xinjiang to unify the position of the ministers in the court and attack him.

The thoughts of the ministers were within Yang Xuan's expectation.

In their eyes, Chang'an is orthodox.

‘Not doing their job properly, Northern Xinjiang actually came to Jiangzhou with troops. The next step is to prepare to destroy Northern Liao!

How embarrassing is the relationship between the emperor and his ministers in Chang'an that a local warlord can do this!

This is one of them.

Secondly, there are some things that are not obvious to outsiders. Once Northern Xinjiang breaks through Ningxing, even if the remaining Northern Liao troops are still lingering, anyone with a discerning eye can see that with the Northern Xinjiang army in the south and the Shegu tribe in the north, Northern Liao will never be able to recover.

.

What will happen next for the expanded Northern Xinjiang Army?

The swords and guns are returned to the treasury, and the horses are released to Nanshan?

Impossible!

A strong army will fuel Yang Xuan's ambitions, and the Northern Xinjiang army will look south.

So, strike first to gain the upper hand!

"I've met the Duke."

At the entrance of the alley, Ding's business is getting better and better.

Despite his busy schedule, he did not forget to salute Yang Xuan.

It is the moral integrity of the people to not forget the well digger when drinking water.

"Business is good." Yang Xuan smiled.

But the integrity of the monarchs and ministers of Chang'an was not very good.

Yang Xuan stopped and said, "Instruct Jin Yiwei to focus on finding out whether Chang'an has sent an envoy to Ningxing and what they want to talk about! This is the top priority at the moment and we must find out this news at any cost."

"yes!"

In the eyes of literati and poets, Ningxing's autumn is very beautiful.

But in the eyes of Tang Dynasty scholar Yang Yuan, Ning Xing was a little depressed.

Jiang, the chamberlain next to him, shook his head and said, "Looking at Ning Xing City, it reminded us of the word "Risky."

Behind him, hundreds of horsemen dismounted tiredly.

On the way from Chang'an to Ningxing, in order to avoid the scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army, they chose the most remote road. It took a long time and the horses were tired.

"From now on, we may be ruined!"

Yang Yuan turned around and looked at everyone, "Enter the city!"

An official came to the city, raised his hands and said with a smile: "I am Shen Tong, this is..."

"Yang Yuan from Zhongshe." Yang Yuan cupped his hand and took out the paper.

Someone behind Shen Tong came up to check Wen and their identities.

"We are working by His Majesty's side, Jiang!" Jiang held his hand.

"Nice to meet you!"

After verifying their identities, Shen Tong took them into the city to settle down.

"It looks a lot desolate!" Jiang shook his head and sighed.

Shen Tong said: "The Liao Dynasty is expanding its army, and men are either working or training in the army. Isn't it the same in the Tang Dynasty?"

Of course not. Over in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was playing with women, the important ministers were scheming, and the army was training, but it was difficult to expand the army.

"Of course." Jiang Zhizhi glanced at Yang Yuan, but Yang Yuan had no intention of finding a way for him. He turned his eyes to observe Ning Xing's situation.

After settling in, Yang Yuan went to take a bath first, and after coming out, he went to discuss with Jiang.

Jiang was eating mutton stew, with a piece of cake in his left hand and a bowl of mutton stewed with radish in his right hand.

Take a bite of the pancake, take a bite of the mutton, chew the aroma of wheat and meat together and swallow it. Don't rush to be satisfied, add a piece of stewed radish, it will melt in your mouth, and then the fragrance of meat and radish will fill your mouth.

"Why!"

Jiang, who had suffered a lot along the way, sighed with satisfaction, "Beautiful!"

"I told Shen Tong that I wanted to see the eldest princess, but Shen Tong just smiled. He was asking for a price."

"It's also possible that he wants to refuse but welcomes him back." Jiang took a bite of the cake.

"Your Majesty's intention is that we must reach a reconciliation with Bei Liao this time and join forces to attack Northern Xinjiang." Yang Yuan said expressionlessly: "The situation in Bei Liao is not good now, so it stands to reason."

"What's reasonable?" Jiang asked, looking sideways at Yang Yuan.

"Logically, Beiliao should be the one who is anxious."

It stands to reason that the Lord of Northern Liao

If you go to Chang'an for help, then Datang can take action.

But the emperor was impatient and ordered Yang Yuan and others to send envoys to Ning Xing.

"When we left Chang'an, Yanzhou and other places were still in the hands of Beiliao!" Jiang retorted.

At that time, Beiliao still had confidence.

But now, the underwear is gone.

"We are here, so we are passive. I want to wait!" Yang Yuan said.

"But the Northern Xinjiang Army is already confronting Jiangzhou. Once Jiangzhou is defeated, Ningxing will be doomed." Jiang made up for the situation before setting off, "Wait? Wait for the fall of Northern Liao? Yang Sheren, let's see the eldest princess

I'm afraid she wants to have sex with her lover."

"You're overthinking." Yang Yuan didn't like such a vulgar tone, "She can't be in charge of Beiliao because of love."

"Then why did she appoint an old man with no official position to greet us?" Jiang sneered, "That woman is just being nice. Like you, we also want to put this matter aside to see if they are in a hurry. But don't forget it.

Your Majesty’s explanation.”

Go all out, the faster the better!

This is the emperor's explanation.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Among the people accompanying you, there will be many spies on the stage, and there must be spies in the palace. If you make a wrong step, you will never be able to look back."

Yang Yuan nodded, "I understand."

He stood up and said, "I will go to see the eldest princess now."

Jiang watched him go out and whispered to the chamberlain beside him: "Keep an eye on Yang Yuan."

"He is His Majesty's confidant." The chamberlain felt that this was a bit much.

Jiang said calmly: "We know. We will do it."

"yes!"

"Princess Chang, the envoy from the Tang Dynasty wants to see you."

Changling was reading the memorial, with the little emperor beside him.

"Yang Yuan?" Changling asked.

"yes!"

Changling thought of Shen Tong's previous report and said, "Tell him that I am not free at the moment."

"yes!"

"The eldest princess is busy with government affairs and has no time."

Yang Yuan received such a reply and smiled, "Don't worry!"

Looking back, he said to his entourage: "The situation in Bei Liao is critical at the moment. Chang'an is determined to march north. Yang Xuan will not sit still and wait for death. He will definitely choose to clear Bei Liao and deal with the Chang'an army with all his strength. Under this situation, Da

The eldest princess still wants to take the initiative and grab more benefits, she is extremely greedy."

The attendant said: "Yang Sheren, if that's the case, let's just leave it alone."

"I also want to leave it alone, but"

Yang Yuan waved his hand and quickened his pace.

When he returned to his station, he found Jiang and said, "Changling refuses to see me.

"This is still acting like a good boy!" Jiang sneered, "Otherwise, it won't be the same thing?"

Yang Yuan nodded, "After three times, if Changling is still the same as before, I will put it down."

The next day, Yang Yuan asked for an audience again, but was rejected as expected.
