1305 Open
Time continued to move forward without realizing it, and Li Shier's clothes became thinner and thinner, especially in the afternoon, when the sun shone on the entire courtyard and shining on people warmly, the residual demand for warmth after surviving the cold winter makes people involuntarily feel comfortable and comfortable under the warm sunshine, as well as the faint laziness and sleepiness that is accompanied by.
A cup of steaming tea is placed within reach, and the books in your hand have become sleep-aid objects. The comfort and comfort of the spirit cannot be lifted, making people just want to flow quietly with time, until the end of time.
Putting down the books in his hand and picking up the teacup next to him. A few days ago, Zhao Paner returned to Li Shier's side again. Compared with the tit-for-tat trend between the two women, the two women have now eased a lot.
"What are you busy with over there? Is there something big happening when I watch people coming and going these days?" Li Shi'er felt the faint fragrance and comfort of the tea, and asked Zhao Pan'er, who was enjoying the afternoon like her, next to her.
Zhao Pan'er glanced at the books that Li Shi'er put down on the table, then looked at the small pieces of tea floating in the tea cup in his hand, and said lightly: "The King of Yan has a lot of government affairs. It is said that he has been busy dealing with government affairs about Yanjing these days. Of course, the military affairs here have not been left behind at all. In short, the King of Yan is very busy these days."
"Yes, he should be busy. But for some reason, he always gives me the feeling of being busy." Li Shi'er curled his lips with some dissatisfaction. Originally, after Liu Keshi arrived in Liaoyang, Li Shi'er thought Ye Qing would soon start a war against the Jin Kingdom, but he didn't expect that it had been almost a month, but the situation in the Jin Kingdom was still as warm as water. There was no cruel war, and there was no one in Huining Mansion to come to Liaoyang.
It was like... the situation in front of him was like... as if Wanyan Xun had accepted his fate, no longer entangled with Ye Qing in the gains and losses of a city and a place, and it seemed that he didn't care at all that Liaoyang, which is now essentially controlled by Ye Qing, was about to become the territory of the Song court.
Wanyan Xun shrank like a dead dog, as if he couldn't see that Liaoyang City had lost control.
If it is understandable that it is not clear about the situation in Liaoyang at first, it has been a month since then. It is impossible for Huining Mansion to not realize that the situation in Liaoyang is no longer under control, right?
More than a month ago, they started to collect food and grass in Liaoyang, but after those wealthy businessmen and famous families supported Ye Qing, no one had ever handed over food and grass. As for the people in Liaoyang City, they were still in the surrounding towns, they also put the orders of Huining Prefecture behind their minds, and no one paid attention to the only remaining authority of Huining Prefecture in Liaoyang.
In more than a month, the situation in Liaoyang has undergone earth-shaking changes over the past month because of the arrival of Liu Ke. Now not only all the problems in the Liaoyang Prefecture officialdom have been solved, but even the cities and towns under their jurisdiction have almost become the territory and people of the Song court. All of this is because Liu Ke has worked tirelessly for more than a month.
As for Ye Qing, he has basically never left Song Town in the past month. He occasionally tentatively tentatively with Zhang Qiyan, or in his huge study, he approved the piles of documents from all over the place like hills.
So Li Shi'er only knows what is happening in this mansion every day, and she doesn't know anything about whether there is anything outside. She only knows that if she fights head-on with the Jin Kingdom, Ye Qing should... should go to the front line, right?
Zhao Paner pouted, neither agreeing nor opposing Li Shier's speculation. After all, she herself didn't know whether there was any big thing outside Liaoyang Prefecture now.
The sun gradually began to set westward from the top of the two women's heads, but the warmth of comfort and comfort still made the two women very satisfied.
At this time, Ye Qing's huge study room and the entire Song Town mansion were missing. Generals such as Yelu Yixue, Mo Xiaobao, and Zhong Can. Now, under Ye Qing's men, including those who guard the mansion, were only two hundred personal guards under his command. As for the others, they were basically stationed in every camp outside Liaoyang Prefecture.
Jia She took two steps at a time and quickly ran into Ye Qing's study. He held a secret letter in his hand and hurriedly handed it to Ye Qing who was refuting the official document. He said, "King Yan, a letter from Danluo."
"Oh? It's from Danlu." Ye Qing raised his head from the pile of official documents on Ru Xiaoshan, took the envelope from Jia She's hand and opened it.
When he saw it halfway, Ye Qing's brows slowly frowned, but when he saw it, Ye Qing's originally frowned brows relaxed again.
"Wanyan Xun is going to transfer Wanyan Fuxing's 80,000 troops from Baozhou, Goryeo. No wonder the situation in Liaoyang has been publicly made during this period. Wanyan Xun can still calm down. It turns out that this is to add Wanyan Fuxing's 80,000 troops to form a siege for us." Ye Qing put down his letter, shook his head and analyzed.
Jia She moved her lips and finally asked with some concern: "Then... Wanyan Chen and the others, King Yan, do you believe they will fight to the death with Wanyan Fuxing's 80,000 troops? The last general was a little worried that Wanyan Chen and the others would not really make things difficult for Wanyan Fuxing and the others. In this way, Dan Luo will inevitably become a breakthrough, and once Dan Luo is broken through, we may be attacked on both sides in Liaoyang."
Early this morning, I had received secret reports from generals such as Yelu Yixue. Long'an and Xianping prefectures had begun to gather troops one after another. Although they had not yet gone south, all signs had already shown that the Jin Ting mobilized the army to temporarily remained unmoved, probably to wait for Wanyan Fuxing from Baozhou, Goryeo to withdraw, so that they could form an east and north force to attack Liaoyang.
In just half a day, Ye Qing received news from Danluo, which naturally confirmed Jia She's speculation. Of course, the current news also explained why Jin Ting had not taken action against Liaoyang after the situation in Liaoyang Prefecture had almost been publicized.
"There is Li Shi'er in Song Town, Wanyan and Monk Chen... Even if you have other thoughts, you may have to worry about Li Shi'er's safety here?" Ye Qing rubbed his somewhat stuffy temple. The government affairs treatment for the whole morning had already made him feel a little drowsy.
"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, but I'm afraid of it, right?" Jia She thought for a while, and looked at Ye Qing's expression without any dissatisfaction, and continued to say boldly: "Monster Wanyan Chen, Qishi Lie Baishan, Wanyan Xielie led 20,000 Zhongxiao Army to surrender, Wanyan Fuxing led 80,000 people from Baozhou, Goryeo, and our army in Danluo was only five thousand people led by Zhou Ping, deputy commander of the Breaking camp, and the Zhongxiao Army of Wanyan Chen, resisted the enemy together. Is it... the number of people is smaller?"
"Yes, there are only 5,000 people in Danluo, whether it is the Jin soldiers who defected to us or the 80,000 troops in Wanyan Fuxing's hands, there are 100,000 troops in total. Even if they don't unite, the Zhongxiao Army and the 25,000 troops in the Breaking Camp will probably be difficult to resist. The morale in the army is the most important, not to mention that Wanyan Fuxing and his 80,000 troops have been staying in Baozhou, Goryeo for more than a year, and their combat power cannot be underestimated." Ye Qing frowned and fell into a dilemma for a while.
Jia She also frowned. He didn't believe that it was because he reminded the King of Later Yan that he noticed this problem. He believed that the King of Yan might have had plans in his mind, and that he would seriously consider this more difficult issue after he reminded him.
"By the way, how many soldiers and horses are there outside Liaoyang Prefecture? Who is the commander?" Ye Qing pondered for a while, then looked up and asked Jia She.
Jia She almost didn't even have to think about it and replied quickly: "Return to the King of Yan, Yelu Yixue, and Yelu Shibei have been cruising between Xianping and Liaoyang, beware of the Jin people's sneak attacks. General Mo and General Zhong's Huajia army were unknown. Xu Fangwu and Kong Chi led the army west of Liaoyang, with 10,000 soldiers under his command. So now there are 15,000 troops left outside Liaoyang Prefecture, and Liu Jiansheng, the deputy commander of the Breaking Camp, is fully commanded."
Listening to Jia She's report, Ye Qing's expression flashed with surprise, and he blurted unconsciously: "Is Liu Jiansheng the only one left in Liaoyang Prefecture?"
Jia She looked at the surprised Ye Qing and shrugged helplessly. Of course, he could understand why Ye Qing was surprised.
It's like a person holding a thousand taels of silver notes in his pocket. He thought he was very rich, but he ignored the fact that he was missing too much. So when he turned around to settle the score, he realized that he didn't seem to have bought anything, but why did the money he had suddenly disappeared?
When the 30,000 army had just arrived in Liaoyang, Ye Qing had many soldiers and a wide range of generals, with a large number of troops of 50,000. There were also seven or eight generals who were good at fighting. But now when he started using troops, Ye Qing discovered again that it seemed that the generals in his hands were not enough, and they were not as many as he had imagined.
Of course, Ye Qing also knew very well that the reason for this was related to their long front line this time.
Unlike every war he had before, he almost led his army to attack the enemy's city, and had huge freedom in strategy and tactics.
Although this time can also be regarded as a strategic active offensive, in the early stages of tactics, the 50,000 troops under Ye Qing were almost mainly defense.
In addition, it was based on the Liaoyang Prefecture, which had never experienced the war, which was a city that needed them to defend. The Jin army of Tanluo, Xianping and Longan Prefectures were also the focus of his defense, so naturally, Ye Qing had to lengthen all fronts due to the situation.
Of course, Ye Qing also knew very well that this was the price that would be paid to capture the enemy's city without bloodshed. Fortunately, because Liaoyang became their first stronghold, and the cities south of Liaoyang have almost stabilized after the more than a month of running around Liu Ke's army, so naturally, they could still continuously transport troops from the rear.
But no matter what, in the early stages of tactics, Ye Qing and his 50,000 troops still had to bear great pressure from the Jin Dynasty's active attack.
Even though he had won over 20,000 Zhongxiao Army led by the monk Wanyan Chen, and tens of thousands of people under the command of Qishilie's Gods Slave stationed in Changling, both the Zhongxiao Army and the large army under the command of Qishilie's Gods Slave had their strategic and tactical roles in each other's positions and could not come here to rescue Ye Qing in the early stages of the war.
So in this way, no matter how many troops Ye Qing plans to increase to Danluo, the remaining troops stationed outside Liaoyang Prefecture still need a general to command the troops.
Jia She looked at Ye Qing and frowned and pondered, and naturally thought of Ye Qing and the reality they were facing.
However, Jia She was very self-aware and knew very clearly that although he had learned a lot of experience in how to lead the army to fight over the years, if compared with Yelu Yixue and others, he would be inferior to himself. As for Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can, Jia She had never thought that he could compare with these two generals who were most valued by Ye Qing.
Naturally, when Liu Jiansheng leads 10,000 or 5,000 people to Danluo to help Zhou Ping, the remaining 5,000 people in Liaoyang will naturally be led by Ye Qing in person.
"Go outside the city to summon Liu Jiansheng, and you will go to find Li Shi'er first... Forget it, I'll go to find Li Shi'er by myself, so you can go to outside the city to find Liu Jiansheng first." Ye Qing said after considering it.
Jia She nodded and immediately left and walked out of the study room. Ye Qing sat on the chair and thought for a while after Jia She left, then got up and walked out of the study room, and walked towards Li Shier's courtyard, who was still enjoying the pleasant sunshine in the afternoon.
As Jia She reminded, if you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one, Wanyan Chen, Wanyan Xielie and Qishilie Baishan, when they led their 20,000 loyal and filial troops under their old command, would they turn against Wanyan Fuxing because of their disadvantage in numbers?
Human nature is the most unpredictable thing. Even though the monk Wanyan and Chen and the other two were loyal to Li Shi'er, when their lives were in danger of being challenged and defected to Ye Qing, can they really stick to their loyalty to Li Shi'er?
Faced with the huge pressure of Wanyan Fuxing's 80,000 army, the 25,000 defenders were really not afraid to fight. They defended to death for Li Shi'er to take revenge on Wanyan Xun, even if they fought until the last soldier?
Ye Qing didn't know how to fully guarantee the loyalty of Wanyan Chen and the other three to Li Shi'er and their determination to avenge Wanyan Jing in this situation.
So when Zhao Paner and Dong Chao had used this period to spread rumors among the people of the Jin Kingdom that the former queen Li Shi'er wanted to avenge the late emperor Wanyan Jing, Ye Qing naturally thought of continuing to rely on Li Shi'er's influence to provide insurance for the loyalty of Wanyan Chen, Wanyan Xielie and Qishilie Baishan.
Of course, Jia She, who went outside the city to summon Liu Jiansheng, never expected that his guess was completely contrary to Ye Qing's choice.
Li Shi'er and Zhao Pan'er looked at Ye Qing in shock. They couldn't believe that Ye Qing's choice just now was to lead 5,000 elite soldiers to Danluo, and to resist the enemy Wanyan Fuxing with Zhou Ping, Wanyan Chen Monk, Wanyan Xielie and Qishilie Baishan in Danluo.
"You really want to go to Danluo in person?" Li Shi'er felt a chill all over her body. She had just enjoyed the comfort and comfort of the afternoon sun, and had already been shocked by Ye Qing's decision.
"What should you do when you go to Danluo? Is it up to Liu Jiansheng and 10,000 troops to take charge? Also, even if you go, the Zhongxiao Army and your broken camp will only be 30,000? Wanyan Fuxing has nearly 80,000 troops. Can you really resist it by yourself?" Li Shi'er continued to question in an anxious tone.
"Not only I want to go, you also want to go with me." Ye Qing looked at the shocked Li Shi'er and said calmly.
"I'm not afraid of death, but I don't want to... die before avenging the late emperor, so I will die with my eyes." After Ye Qing finished speaking, Li Shi'er suddenly calmed down, and his phoenix eyes stared at Ye Qing and said firmly.
"As long as we can delay Wanyan Fuxing's 80,000 troops retreated from Baozhou, Goryeo to assist Wanyan Xun's troops in the territory, we can be invincible. And... it is not necessary to stick to it. As long as we can hold on for half a month, it is enough to hold them out of no way to break through Danluo within half a month." Ye Qing looked at
Li Shi'er said seriously.
Li Shi'er also stared at Ye Qing with her phoenix eyes, frowned slightly, stared at Ye Qing quietly for a long time, and then said solemnly: "I am willing to accompany you to Danluo to resist the enemy, but... I have a condition."
"Okay, promise you, you say." Ye Qing nodded and said.
"It's very simple. Use Wanyan Fuxing's life to pay tribute to the spirit of the late emperor." Li Shi'er said calmly, but there was a faint murderous aura in his tone.
"Let's leave early tomorrow morning, and the situation in Danluo is even more urgent than you think." Ye Qing said expressionlessly, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard where Li Shi'er was. Zhao Pan'er followed without Ye Qing's words.
The two walked out of the courtyard where Li Shi'er lived and came to the pavilion beside the small lake with a faint greenness.
Zhao Paner stood behind Ye Qing without saying a word. Although she no longer feared Ye Qing like the first time, perhaps because of the girl's intuition, she could still vaguely feel the invisible power emitted from Ye Qing's body at this moment, which made her dare not argue with Ye Qing as usual.
Looking at the calm little lake quietly, Ye Qing was silent for a long time, then he slowly spoke with his back to Zhao Paner: "From tomorrow, take good care of Wanyan Ankang, and the information transmission between Liaoyang and Danluo will be left to you to fully deal with it."
"Well, I understand." Zhao Paner nodded and said, looking at the beautiful back.
"Also, since I leave tomorrow, Liu Keshi will be fully handled by Liu Keshi, and you also need to obey Liu Keshi's orders. Liu Keshi seems to be kind, but he has a very inhumane side in some things. So after I leave, remember not to act voluntarily, nor do you behave in front of him, because this will not do anything good for you. He will never open the Internet and look at you differently because of the familiar relationship between you and me." The instructive taste in Ye Qing's tone made Zhao Paner feel a little touched in his heart, just like Dong Chao took her with her. Every time he went out, he would nag and remind her of some trivial things, even if he had just told these things.
"Yes, don't worry, King Yan, I will definitely remember my duties and do good to treat King Goryeo Wanyan well." Zhao Pan'er continued to look at Ye Qing's back and said, and then Zhao Pan'er's lips moved again, wanting to say something to Ye Qing, but for some reason, when looking at the majestic back and remembering the beautiful wives of the King of Yan in Yan's Yan Palace, he finally resisted his care and concern for Ye Qing to go to war tomorrow.
The two of them were admiring the calm lake together in the corridor. As the weather gradually warmed up, the shimmering lake surface was slanted by the afternoon sun. From time to time, fish jumped out of the calm water surface happily, and then bursts of ripples quickly disappeared.
The two of them were silent and rushed behind them. Jia She led Liu Jiansheng, the deputy commander of the breaking camp, and quickly ran towards Ye Qing.
"The last general Liu Jiansheng has met the King of Yan." Liu Jiansheng was wearing thick armor. It was obvious that this was probably because after listening to Jia She's advice, he came over in armor and used it to express his determination to go to Taluo to resist the enemy.
"Get up." Ye Qing turned around, and Zhao Paner also turned around, but stood behind Ye Qing again.
Seeing Liu Jian rise up, Ye Qing's face was always smiling, and glanced at Jia She next to him, then said to Liu Jiansheng: "Prepare three days of food and grass, and five thousand heavy cavalry, and wait for me in the camp tomorrow morning."
Liu Jiansheng and Jia She looked dull in an instant, looking at Ye Qing with a little confused look on his face, and even forgot to answer Ye Qing's words.
Liu Jiansheng did not find the answer on Ye Qing's smiling face, and he couldn't help but turn his eyes to Jia She, who gave him advice and asked him to wear thick armor to express his determination.
Jia She noticed the gaze that Liu Jiansheng cast, and his expression was filled with uneasiness. Fortunately, compared to Liu Jiansheng, he had to be much more calm in front of Ye Qing.
So he hurriedly asked Ye Qing for the confused Liu Jiansheng: "King of Yan, tomorrow... Isn't General Liu Jiansheng leading his army to Danluo tomorrow?"
"When will I tell you that I will let Liu Jiansheng lead his troops to Danluo?" Ye Qing asked with a smile.
"This...but... what you meant just now... Although you didn't say it clearly, that's not what..." Jia She was speechless. When sending news from Danluo to King Yan, the tone and meaning of King Yan seemed to be asking Liu Jiansheng to Danluo tomorrow, not him himself.
"When did you even dare to understand my thoughts at will?" Ye Qing's smile gradually turned into a sneer. He looked at Jia She and continued, "I actually asked Liu Jiansheng to put on armor and come here. Why do you want Liu Jiansheng to express his determination to me?"
"I dare not." Jia She looked at the smile on Ye Qing's mouth turning into a sneer, and hurriedly knelt down and said.
"Don't dare? I think you dare very much. Even I don't know that Jia She actually learned to pass my orders on fake things." Ye Qing walked to Jia She and slapped hard on Jia She's head.
Jia She, who felt a pain, just lowered her head and grinned, and didn't even dare to put her hand on the top of her head to touch her.
At this time, Liu Jiansheng, who was wearing armor, looked at the current situation, which was completely different from what Jia She said and what he imagined, and said anxiously: "King Yan, you can't blame General Jia for this matter. It was because the general of the last was eager to fight, so he put on this armor. He hoped that the King of Yan could agree and let the general lead his troops to block the enemy. The general of the last guarantees you that the general of the last will be able to resist the Jin soldiers under the city of Tanluo with Zhou Ping so that they cannot move forward! Therefore, the general of the last asked the King of Yan to allow the general of the last to lead the troops..."
"No need to say, I have decided on this matter. Your current mission is to prepare three days of food and grass and five thousand heavy cavalry for me." Ye Qing said as he waved his hand.
"King of Yan..." Liu Jiansheng looked reluctant. After Zhou Ping left Liaoyang, Liu Jiansheng, who was eager to fight, was a little anxious. Fortunately, at that time, Yelu Yixue, Yelu Shibei, even Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Can and others were still waiting for orders outside Liaoyang City, so Liu Jiansheng still had a glimmer of hope of being able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.
But with Yelu Yixue, Yelu Shibei, Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Can lead their troops away from outside Liaoyang City, Liu Jiansheng's hope of killing enemies on the battlefield has been gradually shattered. But even so, Liu Jiansheng's heart still retains a glimmer of hope. He also believes that the 15,000 people who are left outside Liaoyang City will sooner or later be sent to the battlefield by the King of Yan.
But in the end, he never expected that even the last trace of hope would be shattered at this moment, and the last trace of hope in his heart was wiped out by the King of Yan personally with a basin of cold water.
