Chapter 1176

The traitor must die

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

He originally thought that Chang'an would hold back for the time being, wait until all preparations were made, and then create public opinion with great fanfare, and then marched north.

But obviously the emperor didn't want to bear it anymore, and took advantage of the situation of winning the three states in Northern Xinjiang to unify the positions of the officials in the court and attack him.

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

In their eyes, Chang'an is orthodox.

"Not doing business properly, the Northern Xinjiang actually came to Jiangzhou. The next step is to prepare to destroy the Beiliao!"

The local warlords can do this, how embarrassing the feelings of Chang'an monarchs and ministers!
This is one of them.

The second is that it is not humane. Once Beijiang breaks through Ningxing, even if the rest of the Beiliao army is still alive, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is the Beijiang army in the south and the Shegu tribe in the north. Beiliao has no power to recover. .

What will happen next for the inflated Northern Xinjiang Army?

Return the sword and gun to the warehouse, and release the horse to Nanshan?

impossible!

A powerful army will fuel Yang Xuan's ambitions, and the Northern Frontier Army will look south.

So, act first!

"I have seen the Duke."

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

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

Don't forget the well digger when drinking water, this is the morality of the common people.

"Business is good." Yang Xuan smiled.

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

Yang Xuan stopped, "Let Jin Yiwei focus on inquiring whether Chang'an sent an envoy to Ningxing, and what to talk about! This is the most important thing at the moment, and we will not hesitate to inquire about this news."

"Yes!"

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

But in the eyes of Yang Yuan, a member of Datang Zhongshe, Ning Xing was somewhat depressed.

The servant Jiang beside him shook his head and said, "Looking at Ningxing City, it reminds us of the word Jianghe."

Behind, hundreds of tired riders dismounted.

From Chang'an to Ningxing, in order to avoid the scouts of the Northern Xinjiang Army, they chose the most remote road, which took a lot of time and was exhausting.

"From now on, we will be ruined!"

Yang Yuan turned around and looked at the crowd, "Go to the city!"

An official came from the city, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Old man Shen Tong, this is."

"Zhongsheren, Yang Yuan." Yang Yuan cupped his hands and took out the text.

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

"We are doing things by His Majesty's side, Jiang!" Jiang cupped his hands.

"Happy meeting!"

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

"It looks so bleak!" Jiang shook his head and sighed.

Shen Tong said: "Daliao is expanding its army. Men are either doing things or practicing in the army. Isn't that the case in Datang?"

Of course not, in the Tang Dynasty, the emperor was playing with women, the important ministers were fighting each other, and the army was practicing, but it was difficult to expand the army.

"Naturally." Jiang was deflated, and glanced at Yang Yuan, but Yang Yuan didn't intend to find a place for him, and turned his eyes to observe Ning Xing's situation.

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

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

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

"Hey!"

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

"The old man told Shen Tong to ask to see the eldest princess, but Shen Tong just smiled, it was up for grabs."

"It's also possible that you want to refuse and welcome." Jiang took a bite of the cake.

"Your Majesty means that we must reach a settlement with Beiliao this time, and jointly attack Beijiang." Yang Yuan said expressionlessly: "The situation in Beiliao is not good, it stands to reason."

"What's the reason?" Jiang asked Yang Yuan sideways.

"It stands to reason that Beiliao should be anxious."

It stands to reason that the Northern Liao Lords
Go to Chang'an for help, and Datang will be able to make a move.

But the emperor impatiently sent Yang Yuan and others to Ningxing.

"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.

And now, the panties are gone.

"We are here, we are passive. The old man thought, wait!" Yang Yuan said.

"But the Beijiang army is already confronting Jiangzhou. Once Jiangzhou is broken, Ningxing will be finished." Jiang made up for the situation before setting off, "Wait? When Beiliao is destroyed? Yang Sheren, let's see the eldest princess I'm afraid she wants to do something with her lover."

"You're thinking too much." Yang Yuan didn't like this kind of wretched tone, "If she can take charge of Beiliao, it's impossible for her to abolish her husband because of love."

"Then why did she appoint an old man with no official position to welcome us?" Jiang sneered, "That woman is acting like a good girl. We are just like you, and we want to put this matter aside and see if they are in a hurry. Don't forget His Majesty's explanation."

Go all out, the sooner the better!
This is the emperor's confession.

"Don't blame us for not reminding you, among the accompanying people, there will be many secret spies on the stage, and there must be eyeliners in the palace. If you make a wrong step, you can't turn back."

Yang Yuan nodded, "The old man knows."

He got up, "The old man is going to see the Eldest Princess."

Jiang watched him go out, and whispered to the servant next to him, "Keep an eye on Yang Yuan."

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

Jiang said lightly: "We know. Do it."

"Yes!"

"Princess Dachang, the envoy of Tang Dynasty is asking to see you."

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

"Yang Yuan?" Chang Ling asked.

"Yes!"

Changling thought of Shen Tong's report earlier, "Tell him, I'm not free right now."

"Yes!"

"The eldest princess is busy with government affairs, so I don't have time."

After receiving such a reply, Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry!"

Looking back, he said to his entourage: "The situation in Beiliao is critical at the moment. Chang'an is determined to go north. Yang Xuan will not sit still. He will definitely choose to wipe out Beiliao and deal with Chang'an's army with all his strength. Under such circumstances, Da The eldest princess still wants to take the initiative and grab more benefits, she is extremely greedy."

The entourage said: "Yang Sheren, if that's the case, let's just put it aside."

"The old man also wants to put it aside, but"

Yang Yuan waved his hand and quickened his pace.

Back at the station, he found Jiang, "Changling refuses to see the old man.

"This is still acting like a good boy!" Jiang sneered, "Or, it's just three things?"

Yang Yuan nodded, "After three times, if Changling remains the same, the old man will let it go."

On the second day, Yang Yuan asked to see him again, but was rejected as expected.

Changling was discussing with his confidants.

"The envoy is a little impatient." Shen Tong said: "The situation in Daliao is not good at the moment. The envoy is like this. I thought it was Li Mi's order. This shows Li Mi's hatred for Yang Xuan and Beijiang."

Wang Ju said: "Princess Dachang, since this is the case, I think that I can threaten Chang'an to send more troops. In addition, I want money!"

Compared with Datang, Beiliao is really poor.

"I want gold and silver!"

"Yes, gold and silver are scarce, but they are valuable."

When it comes to money, everyone's eyes shine.

"Nowadays, the cost of military expansion is quite high, and some money is needed to supplement it."

Changling nodded.

Shen Tong said: "Chang'an can make a big fanfare to promote Yang Xuan as rebellion and the Northern Border Army as rebellion!"

hiss!
Everyone took a deep breath.

"If this is the case, there will be chaos in northern Xinjiang!" Wang Ju nodded to Shen Tong appreciatively, "The soldiers and civilians who regard Chang'an as Zhengshuo will gradually become hostile to Yang Xuan. Even the soldiers and civilians who support Yang Xuan will be distraught. numb."

Chang Ling said: "Shen Tong will preside over this matter."

Shen Tong saluted, "I will live up to the great princess' trust."

The ministers leave.

The emperor looked down at the memorial, seemingly devoid of distractions.

Changling asked, "Is Your Majesty feeling better?"

"The emperor nodded, "Now all I eat are small stoves, much better
Ever since the emperor was found poisoned last time, Changling ordered people to build a small kitchen to cook meals for the emperor.

"Are you puzzled by this matter?" Chang Ling asked.

The emperor said: "Why is Li Mi so impatient?"

"Just because he was worried that Northern Xinjiang would destroy Daliao, and his prestige would increase greatly, making him appear to be a foolish emperor," Changling said.

"The emperor is stupid." The emperor obviously didn't understand.

"A frontier Jiedu envoy can destroy Daliao, and this Jiedu envoy is still a traitor in Li Bi's mouth. How do you make the world think of Li Bi?"

"waste!"

"Yes!" Chang Ling was very pleased, "So he would rather suffer a big loss than join forces with Daliao."

"I understand, that's the only way, the messenger will still bow her head to beg to see if the eldest princess leaves the messenger alone."

"Yes, when you are polite to others, you must ask for something. I just grasped this point and forced him to submit."

"Money and food are important." The emperor said: "Forcing Li Mi to list the Northern Army as a rebel, this is to disturb the northern border."

"There is chaos in northern Xinjiang, and Daliao has a chance to breathe." Changling thought of the man, "The people of Shegu are about to move, and Daliao is under attack, so we must stabilize one place first. When Yang Yuan and others come, it will be a disaster." Destroy Daliao!"

Outside an alley in the northwest corner of Ningxing City, Zhang Xian inspected the inside without revealing any traces, and went in after finding nothing unusual.

When he got outside the house, he knocked lightly on the door.

Three times in a row, pause for two breaths, and then tap three times.

The door opened, Deng Qi was behind the door, "Hundred households!"

"Ok!"

When Zhang Xian entered the house, Deng Qi went out to look around, and then closed the door.

The two entered the room, and Zhang Xian said: "There are envoys from the Tang Dynasty, and the leader is Yang Yuan from Zhongshe."

"Magistrate of Tao County, let's do our best to inquire about the Chang'an envoy, and here we come."

Deng Qi was a little excited.

"Today, Yang Yuan went to ask for an audience, but he came back in embarrassment. It seems that the eldest princess is not a good stubble!" Zhang Xian said.

"It's not easy to be a woman who can make the Duke fall in love." Deng Qi said with a smile.

"Their reason for coming is probably to join hands with Beiliao. We want to find out the result of their discussion." Zhang Xian said, "I'll look for the residence of Yang Yuan and others later to see if I can sneak in. You go and follow them."

"Countless!"

On the third day, Yang Yuan begged to see Princess Dachang again.

This time it went well.

When she saw Changling, she asked through the curtain, "How is Emperor Tang?"

"Your Majesty is in good health."

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries, but Chang Ling remained silent.

The same is true for Yang Yuan.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

The emperor was watching and suddenly felt that Yang Yuan was a bit pitiful.

Even though he is still young, he still knows that the situation in Daliao is critical.

At this time, the person who extended a helping hand turned out to be his arch-enemy Datang, which is really embarrassing and even more embarrassing.

But, after all, it is something that is good for Daliao.

He carefully pondered the silent confrontation between the two.

As time passed, Changling remained indifferent.

But Yang Yuan couldn't hold on any longer.

Through the curtain, he couldn't see clearly, and it was difficult for him to see Changling.

But he himself was under the gaze of everyone in the hall.

"Elder Princess!"

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

smiled.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty ordered you to come, why?" Chang Ling asked.

"Your Majesty wanted to be friendly with Daliao for generations, but now there is a traitor in the Tang Dynasty, Yang Xuan from Northern Xinjiang. This thief is ambitious and has repeatedly attacked Daliao. According to reports, he is now in Jiangzhou?"

This is beating.

Changling said flatly: "Yes."

I admit it, what can you do?
Yang Yuan looked slightly cold
Knowing that his hole card was clearly drawn by Chang Ling.

This is the most taboo thing in negotiations between the two countries.

"Datang is ready to raise troops."

"En!" Chang Ling nodded.

"Daliao." Yang Yuan raised his head, if Changling still replied with yes, he would go back.

"Daliao will also send troops, but"

Here comes the key to this trip. Yang Yuan sighed in his heart, "Princess, please tell me."

Changling behind the curtain said: "First, Daliao is short of money now, so it can recruit warriors."

Before leaving, the emperor confessed that some money was promised.

"This matter."

Yang Yuan hesitated, then argued with Shen Tong, and finally reduced the other party's request by [-]%.

"Second!"

Changling said: "Chang'an should declare to the world that the northern army is a traitor!"

"This is impossible!"

Yang Yuan immediately thought of the consequences.

However, before leaving, the emperor said, "Northern Xinjiang is a group of rebels!"

The emperor's goal was to cleanse the army after defeating the Northern Frontier Army.

This does not contradict Changling's request.

But if this is the case, the interior of northern Xinjiang will be chaotic.

If there is chaos in northern Xinjiang, Beiliao will take advantage of the situation to attack
The good times will come to an end!
Yang Yuan's face was livid.

"The old man wants to go back and discuss!"

"Please!"

Yang Yuan and Jiang returned to the residence.

"We know what you're thinking, but let me tell you, His Majesty wants to cleanse the Beijiang Army." Jiang said, "In His Majesty's eyes, it would be better to destroy Beijiang and throw it away than to give it to the traitors! "

"It's a great situation!" Yang Yuan said: "If this is the case, Beiliao will counterattack and try to survive! It will become the great enemy of the Tang Dynasty again."

"Don't you know? Your Majesty means that you would rather have one more enemy than allow the traitor to be proud!" Jiang stared at Yang Yuan, "Although you are an envoy, your Majesty has explained that we are also envoys when necessary." .”

Yang Yuan's face was pale, "This matter... this matter"

"The triumph of the rebels will encourage those ambitious people in the country. But foreign enemies can inspire the army and people of the Tang Dynasty to fight against each other, understand?" Jiang said: "We also know something about the current situation in the Tang Dynasty. The rebels must die! "

Yang Yuan was silent.

In the palace, Changling said: "The Northern Border Army will definitely send troops this year or next spring. This battle will determine the status of the Daliao Kingdom. Therefore, money is not necessary, but Li Bi must declare to the world that the Northern Border Army is Rebellion!"

The officials saluted, "Yes!"
