    Xiao Yan's two mansions outside Nanxun Gate were burned to ashes. People can't help but sigh that Xiao Yan is indeed a arsonist. The more he attacks his own property, the more he can do it.  After the fever got better, there was a problem: there were fewer and fewer places to live in my home.  The little mute and his group spent the night of the rebellion in confinement.  No matter how domineering Xiao Yan was, there was no reason to keep his family in prison for a long time.  Fortunately, there is still a mansion given by Zhao Ji in Nanxunmen, so he had to temporarily settle his family here.  As for Zhao Ji and his party, they were welcomed to the Palace of Ten Kings, where Zhao Kai lived at that time, and his son, I, exchanged residences.  ??The Nanxunmen residence here was not very spacious at that time because Xiao Yan was not well-known and there was not much land in Bianliang City.  The whole family crammed in, and it was packed. A group of soldiers from the King of Yan were stationed in the outer courtyard, and seventeen or eight men were crowded into each duty room, making it difficult to turn around.  In the inner courtyard and the outer courtyard, people can hear each other's voices, but there is no lively scene.  When Xiao Yan returned home after a long journey, he saw more than a hundred men jumping out of Prince Yan's mansion, crowding the streets in front of the mansion. They all bowed and saluted: "Prince Yan!" Xiao Yan brought him back.  There are more than a hundred cavalry among the accompanying soldiers.  The streets and alleys in this mansion were not wide to begin with, so many strong men crowded together, and the place was suddenly filled.  Even Xiao Yan shook his head when he saw it, and he was just thinking that next time he wanted to burn it, he couldn't just pick his own house to attack.  Not only Xiao Yan himself felt that this place was too inconvenient, but the residents in the alleys didn't know what to do.  It turns out that Xiao Yan basically left this place vacant, leaving only a few servants to sweep the dust.  Who would have thought that so many soldiers would be crammed into one person now, and they would look murderous when entering and exiting.  King Yan even came in person.  Residents here simply don¡¯t dare to go out.  I was so worried that I wanted to cry.  Otherwise King Yan will move away.  Otherwise they have to move away.  I'm afraid that before they can find their whereabouts, the soldiers of King Yan will already come to the door, throw in a few money, and will take over their property to prepare for the expansion of King Yan's palace. Who will they cry to then?  Xiao Yan got off his horse and the soldiers quickly made way for them, but the streets were only so big.  The soldiers were crowded several levels along the wall, and there was no talk of the majesty of the policemen.  If anything happens, I can't even pull out the sword from my waist!  Xiao Yan smiled and signaled to the soldiers under his command, and walked quickly towards the courtyard.  I was really exhausted, and my joints everywhere were sore and groaning.  At this time, I just want to go home, have a good meal and sleep. When I open my eyes tomorrow, there are still so many things to do!  As soon as they entered the outer courtyard, they saw another fifty or sixty soldiers, filling the small outer courtyard to the brim.  People walked next to each other and bowed to Xiao Yan.  There was a sound of armor clashing.  There is really no place to stand outside to greet these guys, so this is the only way.  See this scene.  Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied.  Damn it, Fang Teng, you now have the resources of the entire Kaifeng Mansion, so what¡¯s the matter with finding a big house for me to temporarily live in?  How can I rest and do things at home now?  But this is really no wonder Fang Teng.  Bianliang has a lot of official property, but in such a land with a population of more than two million, even the official mansions are not that big, and they are often not taken care of.  Even though there are dignitaries who have managed and expanded the industry for generations, it is always difficult for the King of Yan to grab it. There are people like Cai Jing who were defeated in the war. Prime Minister Cai's mansion next to Zhouqiao is grand and grand, but the house raids have not been carried out yet, and the King of Yan has  Living in it seems a bit bandit-like.  Moreover, Xiao Yan now wants to calm people's hearts after the chaos, but he has to act cautiously. He can't live in the Royal Forbidden Garden, right?  There is another important reason. Fang Teng also wanted to build a residence for King Yan to serve as his residence.  However, everyone knows that these affairs of King Yan's daily life are in charge of the little mute Yelu. If you ask a question, word comes from the inner house that this will be the arrangement for the time being.  Even Fang Teng had to respect the little mute's authority and just ask for it.  Let King Yan and Mistress Yelu discuss everything, as no outsider can get involved.  Xiao Yan went straight into the inner courtyard full of resentment, and saw that the scene was not much better than that in the outer courtyard.  Yingying Yanyan's maids were everywhere, and when they saw Xiao Yan's arrival, they all bowed and bowed.  Needless to say, every courtyard and every wing was already packed with people.  Moreover, many of the belongings that were moved out of Prince Yan's Mansion are still piled up everywhere, covered with oilcloth, and have not been dismantled and arranged.  It looked like a war in chaos.  "The old man has been working hard outside for so long, but when he comes back he looks so arrogant, and no one is in a better mood.  When Xiao Yan was so depressed that he didn't know what to say, he saw the little mute and Master Li coming out and saluting Xiao Yan with their crotch folded.  Even if Emperor Maode is nowhere to be seen, she still knows that her status in Prince Yan's palace has not changed, and she still lives in seclusion and does not appear in front of the little mute.  Seeing the little mute and Master Li, Xiao Yan's resentment and exhaustion immediately dissipated.  But mortals have a home in this world. As long as they go home and see their loved ones, they can always relax.  As for whether this home is spacious or narrow, yesLuxurious or simple, it doesn't really matter.  Little Mute and Master Li welcomed Xiao Yan, but instead of going to their residence, they entered a flower hall that had just been cleaned up.  The place was decorated according to Xiao Yan's usual arrangement. Once Xiao Yan came back, a maid immediately served cold soup and drinks, and even brought a soup basin to wash Xiao Yan's face.  Master Li gently waved his hand and sent all the maids away. He took off Xiao Yan's boots, cleaned his face, and obediently did his duty as a concubine.  Only the little mute and Xiao Yan were left talking.  Master Li gently placed the hot facecloth on his face with his delicate hands, and then put his feet into the soup basin with his own hands.  After taking another sip of the qi-tonifying and blood-replenishing drink, Xiao Yan groaned comfortably and said to the little mute who just looked at him tenderly: "Hey, why did you settle in this place? I didn't realize it before.  How small it is, now that I look at it, it's almost crowded. Hurry up and choose a bigger place" From the moment the little mute came out to the present, his bright eyes only fell on Xiao Yan.  The two didn't see each other again for a few days, although they didn't say any emotional words.  But to Xiao Yan and Little Mute, it doesn't matter whether they say these things or not.  We already know each other's intentions, so is there any need to talk about it every day?  As long as he can wait until Xiao Yan comes back, it will be the happiest thing in life for the little mute.  But this time.  The performance of the little mute.  But it was beyond Xiao Yan's expectation.  The little mute smiled lightly and said: "When have you ever cared about family affairs? Do you know how many people are in your house now? Now that they are all crammed in, there will naturally be so many. As for a new place, there is no need to look for it. My property is  They are all still tied up. We will follow you when you leave for Hedong. You don¡¯t have to deal with it anymore.¡± Xiao Yan glared: ¡°Why are you going to Hedong to fight and bring your family with you?¡±  The little mute met Xiao Yan's gaze and said, "I can't go see the Guo sisters! Besides, if we stay in Bianliang, you will always be distracted. Why not just find a place in Hedong to temporarily settle us, and you can fight with peace of mind."  Being closer to you makes me feel safer. When I was in Yandi, I didn¡¯t experience any danger. Why didn¡¯t I just follow you closely?¡± At this moment, Master Li also knelt down in front of Xiao Yan and said softly: ¡°Mother said.  It's right. In this world, where can we feel more at ease with the king? Wherever the king goes, we will go. Not to mention Hedong is still the land of the Song Dynasty.  Just follow closely. "Master Li, you are too smart. You figured it out right away in this inner house.  The little mute is an absolutely powerful dragon. Even if the master comes back, I have to give up one end.  Are you hugging your mistress tightly now?  And that Guo Rong.  He refused to come back even if he died, and insisted on standing on the front line east of Hedong, leaving Han and Yue unable to do anything.  This husband¡¯s lack of moral integrity is truly extreme!  Before the war broke out, Xiao Yan wanted to go there personally under the auspices of the Zhao family's three auspicious treasures. He really wanted to bring his family members with him and settle them in his own territory in the east of Hedong.  At that time, Bianliang was not under his control, so it was indeed safer to put them in Hedong.  But what time is it now?  For a while, no one in Bianliang dared to challenge him. When King Yan went out to fight, he actually brought his family members with him, as if he was ready to take over the vassal state.  Don't you want to give the hostile people another idea, and then jump out again if you can't say it!  As the King of Yan, others are also watching to see whether he is prepared to carry the entire empire on his shoulders, or whether he is willing to be a rich and powerful vassal king!  You can give in to the little mute in everything, but not at this time!  Moreover, in the battle with the Jurchens, the outcome is unknown. If it is placed so close to the front of the Jurchen soldiers, what should we do if there is an eventuality?  Xiao Yan glared and frowned: "No!" The little mute snorted, pouted and turned his head away.  He just refused to listen and rarely got into a little girlish temper.  Can't blame her.  Ever since they met in the deserted village, Xiao Yan had taken her under his wing, and he had to work hard to protect the little mute.  But the little mute has never been far away from Xiao Yan. That time when he met Medicine Master Guo, the little mute had to return to Xiao Yan even if he risked his life.  Thinking that Xiao Yan was about to have a decisive battle with the Jurchen enemy, but he was living and enjoying himself in Bianliang, the little mute couldn't turn around.  The Guo sisters can support me in the east of the river, but I just want to be closer, so what?  The atmosphere in the flower hall suddenly froze, and even Master Li's strength in helping Xiao Yan wash his feet became lighter.  Xiao Yan was in a stalemate with the angry little mute for a while, and finally he took the initiative to ask for peace: "I'm really hungry, where is the food? Bring it up quickly. What's the matter, can we discuss it again? But we really can't go to Hedong.  "" The little mute still pouted and said nothing.  She also knew that her thinking was a bit wrong, and it was a rare act of willfulness.  After all, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old.  But in front of Master Li, Xiao Yan refused so categorically, and she felt very embarrassed??It's a bit awkward here.  His eyes flickered quietly, and he was thinking of finding a way to exit.  At this moment, someone finally came to the rescue.  A maid timidly reported at the door: "The general reported that people from the Yongning Army came to commit crimes" It turns out that Xiao Yan's mansion, the flower hall where he always receives guests and does business, has a separate place between the inner and outer courtyards.  The soldiers can naturally accompany him.  However, this place is narrow, the flower hall is only in the inner courtyard, and the soldiers can only send messages through the maid until they reach the gate of the inner courtyard.  As for the military officers of King Yan around Xiao Yan, all of them were officials of various ranks who were serving as envoys, big or small. It would not be wrong for the maid to call him "General".  For these maids in the inner house, if the little mute can match them with these soldiers, they will still be very popular.  Under Xiao Yan's command, he rose to prominence all the way. Li Shishi was married to Zhang Xian, and finally returned home as the royal wife. Zhang Xian was already one of the three government officials. This marriage became a legend among the maids.  Who knows whether they will also be the royal wives of noble ministers in the future? ??????????????????????????????????? However, when some daughters who grew up in noble families in the North analyzed this marriage, Zhang Xian was affectionate on the one hand, and this young and handsome general was also very smart.  In this way, Xiao Yan was married to Xiao Yan's concubine Li Shishi.  The position will be even more stable in the future.  The little thoughts of the people below.  Xiao Yan was naturally too lazy to think too much.  At this moment, people from Yongning's army arrived. On the one hand, they were just in time to save the siege, and on the other hand, they were indeed important figures in their own layout.  Even if you don¡¯t want to move after returning home, you still have to see it in person!  He jumped up immediately, and the water in the soup basin splashed everywhere: "Extension into the side room of the outer courtyard, I will see it in person!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  About  middle.  Bring them here.  The new Dongfu man who is about to be released is at least Zhang Bangchang, who serves as his servant.  Wang Zhen and three other people boarded a boat and came to Bianliang. They arrived in Bianliang almost at the same time as Xiao Yan, who surrounded and captured the Yao family's father and son in Xihe.  Monitor the soldiers and send them to Fang Teng, who is now in charge of everything in the capital.  Zhang Bangchang has been very keen to help Fang Teng these days. When Xiao Yan returned, Wang Zhen and the others arrived. Xiao Yan had other arrangements for Wang Zhen and others.  Fang Teng was originally going to go through a lot of trouble and lure them in person, but Zhang Bangchang took the initiative to ask for help.  Just to get close to King Yan quickly.  Zhang Bangchang is about forty years old and has a good beard.  Wang's demeanor is clear.  However, since he was born as a Jinshi and entered the officialdom, he has held important positions successively.  But never did anything worth mentioning.  The only thing that is remembered is that Rui Ying Youshu added more ceremonial flags to the emperor since Shangshu took Chongning Grand Temple.  For a time, he was laughed at by the whole world.  However, Zhang Bangchang was content and contented himself with being a good official.  Because of his flattery and whitewashing skills, he is really good at it.  Zhao Ji changed people in Yidong Mansion for the last time, and Zhang Bangchang turned out to be the last one.  But even Cai Jing looks down on these people.  When preparing for the East Mansion, Cai Jing never inquired about anything.  Zhang Bangchang did not allow him to participate in Xiao Yan's plan this time, and there were even rumors that he was going to be expelled from Beijing.  This also allowed Zhang Bangchang to escape disaster.  After Xiao Yan put an end to the rebellion, Zhang Bangchang chopped off the heads of thousands of rebels. Cai Jing was frightened to death by the sight of being imprisoned, and Cai Jing's hatred for expelling him from the capital was there.  For a moment, I felt that Xiao Yan had a strong army and two generations of emperors, so he would not be defeated so easily.  Moreover, Cai Jingxi's army and others were all defeated. At least for a few years, the position of King Yan was still stable.  In order to maintain power and position, or even to go further, if you bite your teeth, you will be considered as betraying yourself.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.  He seems to be the future trusted minister of King Yan.  How could Wang Zhen and others, especially Yu Wenxuzhong, not know the reputation of Zhang Bangchang and others?  In addition to lamenting how fast he jumped off the boat, he was also full of thoughts. Who would be willing to say a few words to him?  Before entering the mansion of the Yanwang all the way, I saw this temporary Yanwang Mansion such a narrow and shabby scene.  Wang Zhen and others were all shocked, and Zhang Bangchang even loudly praised the saint: "The mahogany of King Yan's residence is not cut, and the kitchen is desolate. He is so humble in his military and state duties, and the world of the Song Dynasty is sure to have hope!" He  Then he turned to the king and reported the three of them, and warned Yin Yin: "Since the three of them have been summoned by the King of Yan, they have come to the capital to see them in person. It can be seen that the King of Yan still has high hopes for the three of them. They should change their minds, change their past mistakes, and atone for their sins. How can this be so?"  Can you regroup and make a career as a man? You should reflect on yourself!" Wang Zhen and Ma Kuo were both military men. They really didn't know how to respond to these words. Only Yu Wenxuzhong smiled bitterly.  Hand over.  When a group of people arrived, the soldiers of Yanwang Zhijia had already squeezed out from the crowd and came to greet them.  Zhang Bangchang has his own guard in front of himThe people coming from Kaifeng Mansion were temporarily assigned soldiers to tell them who were coming.  Hearing that it was Fang Teng who sent him, King Yan immediately went to report it without saying a word.  Not long after, he immediately came out and invited a group of people to wait inside.  With his status as Zhang Bangchang, he was extremely polite and gentle to these soldiers.  We walked all the way into the side chamber and set foot in Prince Yan's residence.  Even though Zhang Bangchang praised the humble scenery of this mansion too much.  Wang Zhenma Kuo and the others were still quite shocked.  Xiao Yan's current status can be said to be one of the three or five most powerful people in the world.  But this is self-serving.  It's really very simple.  Wang Zhen and Ma Kuo are both people who don't like luxury.  It can be called simple among generals of the same level.  But the mansion where I live.  The utensils you take are better than the sight in front of you.  It's not that they think it's amazing for a person in a superior position to have such conduct, but they feel deeply about it.  At Xiao Yan's current status, he is still willing to enjoy such meager things. You can imagine his great ambitions!  Especially in the extravagant and glitzy atmosphere at the end of this dynasty, it becomes even more eye-catching!  Wang Zhen and the others came to surrender, but they were not really afraid of Xiao Yan.  Ma Kuo is a tough guy.  Wang Zhen also regarded his life as nothing, and Yu Wenxuzhong also had a free and cheerful temperament that was rare among civil servants.  It's just that they don't want the Yongning Army to be completely wiped out by King Yan's army - and the Yongning Army has no fighting spirit against King Yan's army, and it seems that they belong to King Yan's command - and they want to see with their own eyes what Xiao Yan will do.  What we want to do to them is exactly what we want to do to the Song Dynasty.  The three of them sat in silence in the side compartment without saying a word, but Zhang Bangchang couldn't help but look up, just waiting for Xiao Yan's arrival.  There was the sound of footsteps outside the side compartment, and the sound of armor was loud.  Then I heard a soldier from the King of Yan shouting: "The King of Yan is here!" The door to the side room was immediately opened by the soldiers waiting outside.  I saw that Xiao Yan had changed into a brocade robe and had never worn a crown.  Just tie up your hair and let it flow like this.  It looks both casual and chic.  However, with his thin cheeks and slightly sunken eye sockets, you can tell that Xiao Yan's life has not been easy these days.  Zhang Bangchang bowed to the ground long ago: "Welcome King Yan!" But the king and the three of them just stood up silently and clasped their fists.  " Xiao Yan nodded towards them. Even though he had answered the greetings, there was neither a smile nor any sign of solemnity. They were just meeting each other in a normal way.  Then he helped Zhang Bangchang up: "Zi Neng's position in the East Palace is very important, how can he show such a courtesy to me? I won't do it next time." Zhang Bangchang squeezed out a smile: "The King of Yan helped the crisis and settled the difficulties, and was the pillar of the Song Dynasty.  Besides, he has a distinguished reputation, so why can't the students greet him with a courtesy? Prince Yan, on the other hand, seems to have become a bit more handsome, so he should take care of himself as a national treasure." Xiao Yan smiled, even if he had seen Zhang Bangchang before, he had only nodded.  Now this person is so affectionate, and his thigh-hugging skills are really perfect.  There is no time and space of one's own. If you hug Zhao Ji, hug Zhao Huan, and hug Jurchen, you can still be considered a stranger.  If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have the prestige to overwhelm his subordinates, and he didn't have a military horse like Liu Yu's, maybe Fake Chu could still hold on for a while.  Now that I am really short of ministers under my command, I can only use them first by pinching my nose, and maybe I have to win over some.  Xiao Yan asked everyone to sit down. Zhang Bangchang knelt down and sat at the side, and Wang Zhen and three others also knelt down at the bottom.  Xiao Yan sat down and looked at everyone, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.  At this time, suddenly a close confidant of King Yan, Zhijia Shi, quietly came in and whispered a few words in Xiao Yan's ear.  Xiao Yan smiled again: "I just recovered Xihe and returned to the capital. As soon as I entered the house, everyone arrived. The food has not been used yet. My wife knew that Xiao was entertaining guests, so she arranged a table by the way. This was just a coincidence.  . Just share it." As he was talking, soldiers filed in and set up the table.  The setting was Xiao Yan's usual way of eating at a shared table, and chairs were set up.  Then he brought up the food box and put all kinds of vegetables, juices and fruits on it.  The banquet was not rich, with one river fish, one grilled lamb leg, one honey-glazed pork shoulder, two vegetables, and four fruits.  There was no alcohol, just hot drinks.  Xiao Yan raised his hand to greet the guests and took his seat.  King Yan actually treated him to a family banquet. The so-called concubine, I am afraid that this meal was personally arranged by Emperor Maode.  Zhang Bangchang suppressed his joy. He not only hurriedly saluted and entered the table, but also earnestly persuaded the guests: "Zhengchen, Zichong, Shutong. Your honor has given me this gift, and I dare not say goodbye. If I have anything to say, I will treat it as King Yan has finished his meal."  Say. King Yan has summoned three people. How can we not deal with it? Just relax your mind and please take a seat!" Zhang Bangchang also saw that there is another general in the Yongning army, Yu Wenzhong.  Although he claimed to have come here to get the crime, Xiao Yan probably had other purposes, and he didn't know how to punish him.  Otherwise, what is the purpose of having a meal together to show intimacy?  Naturally, the King of Yan could not be too condescending, so Zhang Bangchang had no choice but to hurry the King of Yan to lock down his machine and put down his body to do this.  Wang ZhenThe three of them didn't know what to do or think at this time.  I haven't seen Xiao Yan for a year or two. The son who originally came from the south now has the spirit of a dragon and a tiger, and every move he makes.  Deep and powerful.  Just enter the dining room.  This aura suppressed them to death.  It turns out that I just expected to be punished.  Ma Kuogeng wanted to commit crime and even tried his best to ask Xiao Yan what he wanted to do.  Now they were a little at a loss. Zhang Bangchang persuaded them diligently, and the three of them had no choice but to sit down at the table.  Xiao Yan was really hungry. Although the little mute was angry for a moment, he still thought about himself.  A table was quickly brought over. This was a stroke of genius. I didn't know how to deal with Wang Zhen and the three of them, so I brought a table here for the same use.  You can relax the atmosphere a little and then slowly excuse yourself.  At this time, when you see the three people sitting at the table, you know that these three people are not really despairing and are willing to be punished, exiled or die.  Feeling relieved, I first filled myself with a bowl of hot drink. After drinking it to warm my stomach, I started chewing.  Everyone at the banquet, Zhang Bangchang had to control his bearings and was still thinking about how to flatter a few ingenious people.  Wang Zhen and the three of them holding chopsticks are just echoing the story.  Only the sound of Xiao Yan eating was heard.  Suddenly, Ma Kuo stood up.  He asked in a low voice: "Have the Yao family father and son also been captured by King Yan?" Zhang Bangchang was about to scold him as soon as his expression changed, but Xiao Yan slowly put down his chopsticks.  Looking at Ma Kuo, he said: "Without the edict, they raised troops without permission, went straight to the capital of God, and participated in the rebellion. How could I not capture them? Now I will temporarily settle down in the post outside Bianliang City, and then I will make a decision after reporting to the Ming Emperor.  ." Any further judgments made by Mingjun are all lies.  How could the people at the table not know the fate of the Yao family and his son, Xiao Yan decided it with one word?  Ma Kuo asked again: "What other crimes are the Yao family and his son guilty of?" Xiao Yan smiled lightly: "I have just reported it to you Mingjun. Your intention seems to be to seize official positions and denounce the editors of Hedong This still requires  Please discuss this together." Wang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It is certainly a good thing that the Yao family and his son will not die.  He is willing to take the blame. Although he is not afraid of death, he does not want to die either. If he belittles the editor, that is all.  Anyway, I was a little discouraged, and it just happened to be that I grew up under Lin Quan.  Let's see how far Xiao Yan will go.  Ma Kuo still held his neck high: "A certain group of people are guilty of the same crime as the Yao family and his son. How can you be treated like this by King Yan, and still eat at the same table? Please go to jail!" When Ma Kuo said this, Wang Zhenhe  Yu Wenxuzhong could no longer sit still.  When they got up to avoid the banquet, they all just handed over their hands to apologize.  Zhang Bangchang just looked at Ma Kuo and cursed in his heart, this soldier is so ignorant of praise!  Xiao Yan sighed in his heart and stood up slowly.  "I really don't want to deal with Wang Ma Kuo.  In the history without his own, Wang Zhen defended Taiyuan alone, the city was destroyed and his country was martyred, and his death was extremely violent.  However, Ma Kao was really determined in the battle. He was defeated and captured and escaped. He also fought in Wumazhai, Hebei and Qingping.  He rallied the rebel army and fought repeatedly, never giving in. He retreated to Yangzhou and finally crossed the river until all his guns were broken and his arrows were gone.  In the Southern Song Dynasty, he still thought of the Northern Expedition, but finally gave up after Qin Hui used it, and died in depression.  Qie Ma Kuo knew the topography of Hebei and the Jurchens well, so he was a very useful figure.  For such a person, Xiao Yan always has some respect in his heart.  After all, the Yongning Army had never crossed the Yellow River, so even if they were exonerated, it would be fair to say so.  It's not like the Yao family and his son. They had to travel overland without a boat, so they had to rush all the way to Bianliang!  Regarding the Jurchen War in the future, I have been operating in Hedong for some time, and I still have the confidence to fight.  Moreover, the Hedong Road is surrounded by high mountains and ridges. As long as they are willing to fight, there is no small chance of blocking the Jurchen West Route Army.  But in Hebei, although Tanzhou has some foundations, it can basically be said to be open to the Jurchen East Route Army!  And from Yandi to Hebei, the Jurchen East Route Army, which is larger in scale and more powerful, is galloping across the plains.  Although the Jurchen East Route Army has not moved yet, Xiao Yan always feels that layers of dark clouds and thunder and lightning are accumulating in the north direction of Yandi River and will explode at any time!  At this time, the Yongning Army and his Tanzhou troops who were already in Hebei were seizing the time to arrange their plans one by one, just to support themselves in Hebei until they could return from Hedong!  Not only must the Yongning Army not be weakened, it must also be strengthened.  At this time, Wang Zhenma Kuo, who was the general of the Yongning Army, Xiao Yan especially hoped that he could be used for himself!  Xiao Yan said softly: "Zichong, what do you think of the Jurchens?" Ma Kuo was silent. He personally participated in the maritime alliance between the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens, and even visited the Jurchen territory.  How do you not know whether the Jurchen army is real or not?  This is a violent and powerful military horse, at the peak of its destructive power.  It is even more than when Yelu Abaoji was at its peak.  However, the military strength of the Song Dynasty was far inferior to the powerful Central Forbidden Army and many powerful towns before and after the founding of the country!  Once such a Jurchen army swept south, the princes of Bianliang still traveled leisurely to achieve peace, thinking that it was a border trouble.  Ma Kuo understood deeply.  This is a huge wave!  The Song Dynasty is riddled with holes at the moment.?If you want to tell the story of Chanyuan, you can't get it!  When the news came that the Jurchens in Hedong were heading south.  Ma Kuo and Wang Zhen were still trapped in Zhending, unable to move.  Ma Kuo was deeply worried about himself at that time.  Later, I learned that King Yan had already taken measures in Yunnei, and for a while he entangled them in Yunnei.  But that was just the Jurchen West Route Army. Facing Hebei, there was the even more powerful Jurchen East Route Army!  Among the entire dynasty, the only ones fighting to the death with the Jurchens were Xiao Yan and his family.  But the princes in the court are still holding back.  To break it, I wish I could smash Xiao Yan to pieces and then kill him quickly.  And their Yongning Army was also involved in the conspiracy against Xiao Yan, the only king of Yan who fought to the death with the Jurchens!  And it was also a sharp defeat.  At this moment, what can I say?  Ma Kuo was originally full of resentment, but Xiao Yan's gentle question made Ma Kuo really don't know how to deal with it!  Ma Kuo didn't say anything, but Xiao Yan said it himself. He spoke in a slow tone: "Since I returned to the Song Dynasty, more than 100,000 troops were defeated in the attack on Yan. It was I who led hundreds of troops and horses to take the lead in crossing Baigou to counterattack. I even attacked Yizhou, Zhuozhou and other places.  , risking one's life and driving back Xiao Qian, and marching north to Tanzhou to fight to the death with the Jurchen army. At that time, you, Zichong, were passing through the passage I opened, and then attacked Yanjing.  It was another disastrous defeat. It was me who returned from thousands of miles away and conquered this mighty city in one fell swoop! Then it was me who fought in the east and west, killing the great rocks of Yelu, and finally conquered the land of Yan!  The Song Dynasty defeated them, but the officials sent by the Song Dynasty only moved to Hebei and refused to accept them. I still retained some troops and worked hard in Tanzhou to maintain Yan's defense line against the Jurchens and monitor the Jurchen movements.  I will lead the army back to Bianliang and hand over the military power. I just want to be a pure minister of the Song Dynasty. If there is another invasion of the northern barbarians in the future, the Song Dynasty can use me to lead the army and horses to defend the Song Dynasty!   The Jurchen West Route Army went south to Yunnei, and the Shenwu Changsheng Army rose up to fight and manage Yunnei. However, the court was afraid of the relationship between the Shenwu Changsheng Army and me, and wanted to banish me and disintegrate the Shenwu Changsheng Army.  He was willing to give up his hands, but he only wanted the Song Dynasty to have a powerful and victorious army. It happened that the deposed prince was uneasy about his position and wanted to oust the emperor by guarding the imperial army.  , when it suits me, I risk my life and save the Supreme Prince and the new king. With the help of more than a hundred temporary righteous teachers, I can put an end to this unprecedented palace turmoil in the Song Dynasty.  I am despondent, and the new king is not the only one who has been so kind to me. How can I repay him without having to devote myself to the Song Dynasty and die?  Your Majesty, I have worked hard to unite the Song Dynasty's army and go north to fight against the Jurchens and Yunnei. Once they are defeated, I will turn to the Yan land and drive back the Jurchen east road. If I manage the Yan land as solid as a golden soup, I can return to Bian without shame.  Liang, hand over power, and from now on he will be just a common man under the rule of the Song Dynasty" When Xiao Yan said this, he suddenly slammed the table and almost roared: " In the past few years, I have been doing everything for the Song Dynasty.  The East and West of the Song Dynasty are fighting! I, Xiao Yan, am the only one who will fight to the death against the Jurchens in the future! I just ask the princes in the court not to hold back. I am fighting to the death, but their power in Bianliang is as strong as Mount Tai.  The imperial commander's personal expedition is also to display the power of the new monarch and consolidate the power of the new monarch's heavenly family. Why do the princes in the court collude with the outer towns and try to kill me when I send out the army? If I am really broken into pieces, I will never recover.  Zichong, who will stop the Jurchens in Hedong and Hebei? Or rely on your Yongning army? Why do the princes of the Song Dynasty fight bloody battles for them?  Are you being treated so poorly?" Xiao Yan's words made the whole room dumbfounded.  These words are naturally untrue. They praise Xiao Yan too much, and there are many ways to cover up the palace affairs and military chaos.  It is also a serious crime for Tanzhou to retain troops and horses for business without the government's orders.  But who can hold Xiao Yan accountable now?  If you don¡¯t settle these old scores, Xiao Yan has a saying that is true.  She is the only one who has been desperately fighting for the Song Dynasty these years.  If he falls, who will resist the Jurchens?  At that time, I was afraid that Xiao Yan's remaining troops were fighting fiercely with other soldiers of the Song Dynasty.  At that time, it would really be a disaster for the world!  Wang Zhen, Ma Kuoyu and Wenxu are all smart people, and everyone above can see this clearly.  Therefore, the Yongning army's march into Bianliang was carried out feebly. Xiao Yan's Tanzhou army and horses immediately stopped moving forward once they went south.  As soon as Xiao Yan called them, they came to deal with the crime without restraint.  At this time, it¡¯s either a matter of holding on to your integrity.  Fight against Xiao Yan to the end.  Or work for Xiao Yan.  Fight against the Jurchens under his command.  Xiao Yan wants to fight to the death with the Jurchens.  All three of them believed this.  Xiao Yan's lack of foundation is what he needs to make up for with his achievements. This achievement can only be found in annihilating the Jurchens and restoring Yanyun's old land.  And since the beginning of his return to the south, Xiao Yan has been engaged in an endless and bitter battle with other places such as the Song Dynasty!  Xiao Yan is treated like this today, just because he still wants to??They, at least Wang Zhen and Ma Kuo, will have to rely on them.  at this time.  A choice must be made.  Should he be willing to repay his losses all his life and lose them all, or should he serve Xiao Yan, fight the Hulu on the battlefield, and achieve the reputation of a Han general for the rest of his life?  Is it just inevitable that future generations will ridicule you for your integrity?  Ma Kuo stood blankly, and the miserable scenes of Yandi passed before his eyes one by one.  The scene of the fierce battle at Gubeikou that day, when Xiao Yan finally gave up on the easy success of Yanjing and came to help resolutely, is still so vivid.  For a while.  All kinds of choices are painful and clenched in my heart.  And Xiao Yan was standing there.  Quietly waiting for his decision.  In a trance, Ma Kuo suddenly trembled, as if he could see Bianliang falling into a sea of ??fire, and countless children of the Song Dynasty heading north in mourning in the cold wind!  And in the sea of ????fire in Bianliang, there is a person, with black armor and white hair, who is still fighting bloody battles!  This feeling comes out of nowhere, but it seems so real.  Ma Kuo slowly lowered his head.  "If the King of Yan wants to have a showdown with the Jurchens, please ask his subordinates to serve under him. If the Jurchens are defeated by the King of Yan, please disarm and return to the fields." Wang Chen had been watching silently, and Ma Kuo spoke like this.  , and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.  He saluted generously: "If King Yan is not guilty, then I will also ask you to serve me and fight against the Jurchens But I don't know what King Yan will do to the last generals?" Xiao Yan waved his hand: "Zichong stayed in Hebei and integrated the Yongning army.  After replenishing the force with me, we went straight to Yanjing, and our Tanzhou army also followed Zichong's instructions to step up its defense line to meet the Jurchen East Route Army, while Zhengchen consolidated the remaining troops of the capital.  There is also the Xihe Army, and there is also the Central Army of the New Army. I have appointed another army as the general to follow me on the expedition to Hedong! " Wang Zhen and Ma Kuo can no longer be placed together. This is expected.  It is normal for Yongning's army to include direct descendants of Xiao Yan.  In addition to the Xihe Army and the remnants of the Rebellion Army, the New Army established by Wang Xun also had the Central Army of the original New Army as the backbone and had the necessary means.  But Xiao Yan's reuse of the two of them was still extremely generous!  He was originally a person awaiting punishment, but as soon as he turned around, he became an important general in the army and shouldered various responsibilities.  Although Wang Zhen and Ma Kuo were still full of thoughts, they couldn't help but bow deeply.  "How dare you disobey King Yan's orders!" Zhang Bangchang smiled and beat the drum at the side: "I have to serve again as a general. I would like to congratulate King Yan!" Xiao Yan's eyes turned and fell on Yu Wenxuzhong, who looked indifferent.  Wang Zhen and Ma Kuo are all treated favorably.  On the contrary, Yu Wenxu was not embarrassed.  He was a person sent by Cai Jing, which was a little different from Wang Zhenma Kuo who acted under the orders of Dongfu.  Even Zhang Bangchang didn't look at him anymore, he just thought it was Yu Wenxuzhong who would take the blame no matter what.  But Yu Wenxuzhong also looked indifferent. He just looked at the dishes on the table with regret, as if he wasn't full.  Xiao Yan sighed again in his heart, forget it.  In his own history, Yu Wenxuzhong was one of the most powerful ministers who fought during the Jingkang disaster.  Later, when he was on a mission to the Jin Kingdom in the Southern Song Dynasty, he was detained and forced to serve as a minister of the Jin Kingdom.  Later, the Kingdom of Jin asked the Southern Song Dynasty for Yu Wenxuzhong's family. Yu Wenxuzhong originally reported to Qin Hui, saying that all his family members were lost in the troubled times, but Qin Hui sent all of Yu Wenxuzhong's family, more than a hundred people, to the Kingdom of Jin.  Later, the whole family was executed very strangely. The history of Jin Dynasty said that he was falsely accused, resented and slandered. It was only after the execution that the Jin Dynasty court regretted it.  Later generations, such as Quan Zuwang and other historians, verified that Yu Wenxu had a secret connection with the Southern Song Dynasty, conveyed important military information, and attempted to initiate civil strife in the Jin Dynasty and coerce Zhao Huan back to the south. After the failure, all his family members were executed.  No matter what, he is a good talent.  I have already spared so many people, and I don¡¯t want to go on a killing spree.  What if we let one more person go?  Xiao Yan asked lightly: "Shutong, do you want me to be released back to my hometown, or are you willing to go to the West Mansion to praise my paintings? It's up to you to decide." Yu Wenxu rolled his eyes and thought for a while, bowed, went down, and stood up.  After that, his expression remained as usual: "I am willing to serve King Yan." Zhang Bangchang suddenly changed his face again, and saluted affectionately: "Congratulations to Brother Shutong!" Wang Zhen and Ma Kuo looked at each other with sighs in their hearts.  Yu Wenxu also said that Xiao Yansheng was just a remnant, but now he surrendered without hesitation.  These people with big headscarves are really incomprehensible!  Xiao Yan waved his hand again: "In that case, continue eating! After dinner, we will discuss carefully how to deal with the military affairs of Yandi, Hebei. Zichong's responsibility is really important!" ~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The discussion after the meal lasted for a long time.  Later, the wooden plans of Xifu were moved here, and Xiao Yan, Wang Zhen, Ma Kuo and others discussed how to form a line of defense in Yan as soon as possible.  Yu Wenxuzhong also wrote a few words of praise.  But Zhang Bangchang said goodbye because Fang Teng had too many things.  By the time Xiao Yan returned to the inner courtyard, it was already dark.  At this time, Xiao Yan was thinking, where the hell should I sleep?    Then he made a decision immediately. The little mute was a little unhappy and angry today.  It's better to comfort her.  He immediately walked towards the courtyard where the little mute was in the middle.  It¡¯s a small courtyard, but the door is closed.  Xiao Yan knocked on the door a few times under the lamp, and then the door creaked open a crack, and a lantern flickered inside.  The two maids waited with the little mute for who knows how long. The little mute put her pretty face to the crack of the door and whispered softly: "Brother Xiao, you go to Di Ji's place to sleep." Xiao Yan was startled: "You are not still there.  Just to be angry" The little mute smiled lightly: "Now that Brother Xiao has made a decision, I will be angry for a while and then I will pass. I just want Brother Xiao to give birth to a son with Di Ji as soon as possible. This is a good thing for Xiao.  Big Brother's career is so helpful" Xiao Yan was inexplicably moved in an instant.  With his current status, one can imagine the importance of whoever gives birth to the heir first in the inner court!  But the little mute thought about his career. If he and Maode had a son with Zhao family blood, his future career would indeed be of great help!  For this reason, the little mute just gave up her position as the concubine, but she even gave up such an important position as the prince!  The courtyard door was gently closed again, and then the sound of footsteps was heard, and the little mute had already turned back into the house.  Xiao Yan was in a daze outside the hospital for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.  While strolling, I had already walked outside the courtyard of Emperor Maodeji without realizing it.  Although the little mute gave up the title of concubine, even the prince was willing to give in.  Just for Xiao Yan.  But it is better to choose the best place to live.  Maode Diji and Li Shishi's courtyard are connected, both of which are quite small.  The movement in the courtyard can be heard outside the thin wall.  In the darkness of the night, there was a faint sound of the Emperor Ji praying to the moon.  " I hope my father and mother are safe, I hope my sister is safe, I hope my brother is safe I believe in women, but I have something to offer, I want to be a daughter, I don't want any more boys, and I want to be born in the heavenly family  The faithful woman prays sincerely, and may the emperor and heaven take pity on her" Xiao Yan shook his head. He didn't want to go to sleep with Emperor Maode in the first place.  But I can't let the little mute down anymore at this moment.  Let's just spend the night in the flower hall tonight.  A few steps away, you heard the creak of the door of the courtyard next to Maode Diji's courtyard. In the moonlight, you saw Master Li's beautiful face revealed, looking towards Xiao Yan with a faint smile.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
