Chapter 479 The Emperor and the Emperor
Di Yong, the Privy Councilor of the Great Yan Kingdom, looked at His Majesty, and had not organized his language for a while.
Ma Niu then asked, "Di Xiang, what's wrong?"
"I have put all the people I have been smuggled home."
"This..." Ma Niu was a little surprised, but he said again: "It's okay, I have recruited soldiers everywhere in Luanzhou, and I have already recruited more than 100,000 troops. Now we still have 200,000 troops under our command. Just practice hard and will be invincible in the world."
Di Yong looked at Ma Niu and seemed to have finally organized the language. He spoke, "Don't Your Majesty want to know who my eldest brother Gan Qi is?"
"Please say it to the prince Di."
"My eldest brother's surname is Gan's name, and his courtesy name is Daojian. He was the top scholar in the fourth year of Jiayou of the Song Dynasty. He is now the strategic commander of the two routes in Hebei and leads all military and political affairs in the two routes in Hebei." Di Yong said word by word.
Ma Niu's expression gradually changed, and he asked intensified: "I heard from those who came back that the Song army invaded Yan Yun?"
Di Yong nodded: "The Song army has already attacked Yanjing, and Liaohuang fled north in a panic. The commander of the army is my eldest brother Gan Qi!"
"What... the commander of the Song army is your eldest brother?" Ma Niu said this, not asking, but being shocked.
Di Yong nodded: "Well, my elder brother has been planning for this war for a long time. From the surge in price in Yanyun, to the sponsoring of His Majesty's rebellion, to the launch of a northern expedition, he also annihilated 100,000 Liao troops in Yanfangdian in one fell swoop, completely deciding the situation of Yanyun, and achieving success in one fell swoop. Among them, they were strategists and pressed step by step, and there was no flaw in the calculations, like a god."
Di Yong's words came from sincerity. If he hadn't followed Gan Qi to operate these things from beginning to end, he would not have even imagined that there would be such a way to do things in this world. Yan Yun, who had been run by the Liao people for a hundred years, had already been a solid piece, but Gan Qi tried every means to dismantle the iron piece from the inside.
Now that I think about it, even if Gan Qi took the initiative to offend the Liao envoy and give the Liao people an excuse to take the blame, it seems to be one of the interlocking ones. Gan Qi seemed to have deliberately beaten the Khitans to death, because he knew that Liao had the tradition of threatening the Song Dynasty on the border, and had tasted the sweetness. So Gan Qi did this, as if he was deliberately trying to make Liao Kingdom take the initiative to adjust the Yanyun army and gather together.
If it weren't for this, the Song Dynasty really wanted to raise an army to attack Yanyun, and slowly compete for one city and one pool. Even if it was a large army of hundreds of thousands, it would be difficult to achieve. There were examples in the past. Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, had devoted the country's power to the Northern Expedition, not only failed, but also almost completely lost all the troops that were good at fighting during the founding period of the Song Dynasty. From then on, the Song and Liao Dynasty could no longer be compared with each other in military affairs.
If you really want to connect all this, what should you use to explain it if Gan Qi is not a god?
When Ma Niu heard Di Yong's words of Gan Qi as a god, his heart was mixed with all kinds of feelings. Di Yong's admiration on his face was beyond words. Di Yong had never given this expression to Ma Niu, the emperor.
Ma Niu was shocked and knew that he had already said this, so the question arose. Ma Niu asked, "What are Di Xiang's plans?"
Di Yong replied directly: "I want to go back."
Ma Niu can accept Di Yong's choice. Once Di Yong returns, it will be beneficial for Ma Niu to consolidate his power, so Ma Niu replied: "Then I won't stop you, take care of you in the future."
"Oh..." Di Yong raised his head, sighed and said the truth: "It's not that the Liao people could not capture the city of Luanzhou, but the Liao people were in a hurry to leave. If the Liao people in the past did not leave and attacked fiercely, it would only take ten days and half a month to break the city."
"Di Yong, don't talk nonsense here to mess with my mind. I have a large army of 200,000, how can I not defend the city? You and I are not the same as each other. Go away!" Ma Niu was angry.
"If you really want to start a war, you will only increase the murder and waste your life. Your Majesty has kindness, why should you be so obsessed?" Di Yong said that he was just talking nonsense.
"It is not my fault to just increase the murder. Don't say anything again. If you don't leave, I will capture you as an enemy." Ma Niu said, and the man took two steps back. He knew that Di Yong was very good at martial arts, but he was not afraid. As long as he took two steps back and set a distance, there were guards not far from the left and right. Even if Di Yong was better, he could beat ten people but not one hundred people.
Di Yong shook his head, finally stopped talking, and turned to the stairs of the city. But he still didn't think about leaving, but was preparing to go into the city and find some people who had a good relationship with him in the past. He still didn't want to see the war. The Liao people are the enemy. Whether it is the people in the city or the soldiers under Gan Qi's command, they should not lose their lives here, but should fight against the Liao people.
When Ma Niu saw Di Yong get out of the city, he immediately called to him: "Go and follow him and report all the people he has met and done to me clearly."
Ma Niu is actually a little worried about Di Yong. In the army, Di Yong has a high prestige, and there are many men under the city who have just returned with Di Yong. If they really want to suddenly take action at this time, they will inevitably be in chaos. Ma Niu seems to be concerned about the people's hearts. Once civil strife at this time, it will be a big situation that will be difficult to protect.
Ma Niu was afraid of Di Yong. But Ma Niu was not afraid, because those close brothers who followed him in the past were now all generals who led the army. If they really wanted to turn against each other, Ma Niu was confident that he would support him more.
But Ma Niu's arrangement made everyone on the side look confused.
"Have your Majesty ordered the young man to stare at Di Xiang?"
Ma Niu glared at him and said, "Isn't it possible?"
"Yes, yes, yes, villain follows the order!"
Di Yong entered the city, and he had to say whatever he should see and what he should say. This is not that Di Yong is not afraid of danger, but that he knew that even if he couldn't understand Ma Niu, he would have to make sense of some people. Even if no one could understand, Di Yong would have to create some chaos in Luanzhou City and lay some foreshadowing.
Because in the future, Di Yong would eventually follow Gan Qi to fight this Luanzhou City. If he did not muddle the waters of Luanzhou City, he would have to die more people in the future.
Gan Qi was busy taking over the pass. The most important Gubeikou was. Gan Qi personally arrived and arranged to strengthen the pass. Gubeikou was a military important place for a long time. Since the Khitan got Yanyun, this place has only been a road intersection, but the former Chengguan is still there.
Gan Qi wanted to replace the door here with a new one before the Liao army arrived, dig deep trenches outside the city gate, repair all the battlements at the top of the city, and rebuild the urn. He also had to repair some housing outside the pass for the guards to stay in the accommodation, and prepare for logging and stone transportation must be done first.
These projects must be done as soon as possible.
In the next battle, the Liao Kingdom will inevitably come with the strength of the whole country, and this will be the purgatory on earth.
Gan Qi is very busy, and Yanyun is also busy changing dynasties in various places.
Zeng Xiaokuan rushed to Bianliang City with a fast horse and whipped. In seven or eight days, he rushed to Bianliang with this big news. If he hadn't just learned how to ride a horse, the speed would have been faster.
Zeng Xiaokuan should have never suffered such a kind of suffering in his life, but he was in pain and happiness all the way, just to spread the news of Ganqi's victory to Bianliang.
He rushed to Bianliang City and finally let him arrive at Bianliang City. As soon as he entered the city, he was a little confused for a moment. He didn't know who to report this news to and which yamen to first.
He was so excited that he made a decision that he would not go to the Privy Council of the Political Affairs Hall, nor did he go home to see his father, but went straight to the palace. He came outside the palace and shouted: "Report to Your Majesty, Zeng Xiaokuan of the Court of Justice has urgent military information to ask for a meeting!"
The left and right gate guards were stunned.
"What are you still standing there? The military situation in the north is urgent, go and report it!"
"Zeng...is Zeng... the son of Zeng Xiang?"
"It's really me, go and report!"
"Go here and go here and later." The military man rushed in and looked for the eunuch first. The eunuch ran into the palace to report.
After waiting for a moment, Zeng Xiaokuan entered the palace and ran to the imperial study to meet the emperor.
The emperor was waiting at the door without waiting for Zeng Xiaokuan's etiquette. Seeing that Zeng Xiaokuan actually grabbed Zeng Xiaokuan's arm directly, he asked: "What military information, what military information, say it quickly!"
Zeng Xiaokuan ran in all the way. Even if the eunuch reminded him not to run in the palace, he didn't care and rushed all the way with a few eunuchs. At this time, he was panting and shouted: "Great victory, great victory, Your Majesty, Mr. Gan's great victory."
"What kind of victory, please tell me carefully and make it clear!"
"Your Majesty, great victory, Mr. Gan defeated Yanjing City, defeated the Emperor of Liao and fled overnight. He even ambushed and burned the 100,000 Liao army in Yanfangdian. Now... Now, the sixteen states of Yanyun are all under the control of Mr. Gan!" Zeng Xiaokuan said that he was out of breath, and he was still excited.
"What? What did you say?" Zhao Shu was stunned, feeling that he had heard it wrong, must have heard it wrong.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Gan first defeated his son-in-law Xiao Derang with 25,000 troops, and then defeated Yelu Renxian's 100,000 troops east of Yanjing City, captured the sixteen states of Yanyun, and drove the Emperor Yelu Hongji of Liao to escape overnight! The sixteen states of Yanyun have returned to the Song Dynasty! The wishes of ancestors of all generations have been fulfilled! My Song Dynasty has finally unified the world!" Zeng Xiaokuan tried hard to calm his breath and said seriously.
"Nonsense! Where did you hear from me? In the past, Emperor Taizong formed three armies, and hundreds of thousands of people failed. How could Gan Qi win the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun with 25,000 people?" This was the real subconscious reaction of Emperor Zhao Shu.
"Your Majesty, I must not deceive the emperor. I went to Yanjing City in person and met Mr. Gan in front of the Liao Palace in Yanjing City. What I said is true, true and true!"
"This..." Zhao Shu suddenly turned around, took a deep breath, and then turned around: "This is absolutely true?"
"It's true!" Zeng Xiaokuan nodded seriously with a stern expression.
"How is this possible? How is this possible?" Zhao Shu asked a few words, and then said excitedly: "Daojian, Daojian, Daojian, you are really..."
Zhao Shu didn't seem to find a suitable adjective.
"Daojian, you are really scaring me to death, you are scaring me to death, the Sixteen State of Yanyun has returned to the Song Dynasty! Haha... I have been ascending the throne for two years, and I have been taking the Sixteen State of Yanyun... Haha..."
Zhao Shu actually started to roam in the imperial study room, so happy that he didn't know what to do. Suddenly he saw him walking to the imperial case, raising his hand and brushing hard, waving the table of memorials, pens, inkstones and inkstones all over the ground, and then suddenly stopped smiling and asked again: "Have you really gone to Yanjing and met Gan Qi in the palace of Yanjing City?"
Zeng Xiaokuan tried hard to make a trustworthy expression and nodded again: "Weichen took the head on his neck to ensure that every word of Weichen was true."
Zhao Shu seemed to have truly accepted this great news at this time and spoke again: "Gan Daojian, a talent that is once a thousand years old, and Wei Qing and Huo Qubing are just like this. God blesses me, God blesses me..."
Zeng Xiaokuan looked at the emperor who was extremely happy and smiled, and knew that the suffering he suffered in the past seven or eight days was worth it.
Emperor Zhao Shu turned his head again: "You, Zeng Xiaokuan, you, go quickly... Go to the imperial city to ring the bell, recruit all civil and military officials to come to court, go and ring the bell!"
