Chapter 829
Yang Dayuan's younger brother Yang Daji was stationed in Qingjian City, north of Yanzhou City.

Xu Heng didn't send anyone to inform him of his arrival this time, Yang Daji didn't know about it until he arrived at Qingjian City, he quickly sent someone to Saimenzhai to inform Yang Dayuan to welcome him.

When Xinma arrived at Saimenzhai, Yang Dayuan had already set off to meet Li Xia.

Yang Wen'an heard that some important ministers came from Yanjing, so he didn't hesitate any longer, and gathered all his trusted soldiers to attack and kill Li Xia.

But at the moment when Yang Wen'an ordered the soldiers and horses, Xu Heng had already learned that Yang Dayuan was going to see Li Xia.

On the surface, it was said by the deputy commander-in-chief Yang Daji, but after Yang Wen'an thought about it, he knew that it was unlikely that Yang Daji would take the initiative to tell Xu Heng about such things.

Someone in the army must have told Xu Heng, Yang Daji saw that he couldn't hide it, so he had to tell the whole story.

Thinking of this, Yang Wen'an became a little uneasy.

He didn't take off his armor, so he put on his armor and headed north to meet Xu Heng.

Thinking about what happened recently, he thought that with Kublai Khan's attitude, he would not blame the Yang family for this incident.

If he really wanted to take the blame, Yang Wen'an didn't mind taking Xu Heng's head to seek refuge with Li Xia.

Thinking about this along the way, he met the carriage ahead and met Xu Heng.

Xu Heng was 54 years old at the time, and he was a well-known Confucian in the north.When Lian Xixian took office in Guanzhong, the first thing he did was to invite Xu Heng to study for Jingzhaofu.

Later, Kublai Khan returned from Ezhou to the north, recruited Xu Heng into the court, and appointed him as the prince and Taibao.

Although it is said that any official in the Mongolian Kingdom is free, no matter what position or rank it is before, it only depends on the Khan's will, but all the Hanchen who can be awarded high officials by Kublai Khan do have real talents and learning.

This kind of extraordinary promotion often makes people feel grateful and feel like dying.

Although Xu Heng was a scholar, when he lifted the curtain of the car, his aura covered up the murderous aura of the soldiers around him.

Because he was ordered by Kublai Khan to come.

"Yang Wen'an is here to welcome Mr. Lu Zhai."

"Okay, okay." When Xu Heng saw Yang Wen'an, his eyes showed admiration, and he couldn't help but praise: "What a young hero, with a heroic demeanor!"

Yang Wen'an was praised, and couldn't help feeling good about Xu Heng, so he hurried forward to meet him as a student.

"Mr. is a sage in the world, and the juniors have been longing for it for a long time, but it is a pity that they cannot be taught by him."

"How about the old man and the general talking while walking?"

"Fortunately for the younger generation, sir, just call the younger generation 'Uncle Tai'."

"..."

Yang Wen'an is a very simple person. He is a general who only cares about fighting and asking for credit.

Unlike Yang Dayuan, he was full of inappropriateness in his heart.

This kind of personality makes Yang Wen'an speak and act very frankly.

His attitude is very simple, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and Kublai Khan's strength is still strong, so there is no need to think about what is there or not just because of this retreat.

Soon, he also expressed this meaning to Xu Heng, and then said: "Uncle also has the same intention. If I go today, I am going to ambush Li Xia."

"It's okay, even if Marshal Yang is going to talk to Li Xia, so what?" Xu Heng stroked his beard and said, "I really want to know what Li Xia can give him..."

~~
Yan River.

There are also vegetation on the loess plateau in the distance, but compared with the mountains in Sichuan and Shu, the vegetation here is always thinner, exposing the loess below and looking dry.

Yellow is a bleak color.

Some soldiers arrived on horseback, and saw soldiers lined up on both sides of the strait, but it was not a tense scene.

Yang Wenzhong turned his head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xin immediately stepped forward and said in a low voice: "General, a high-ranking official from Yanjing is here."

"So suddenly?"

Yang Wenzhong seemed to sigh, and looked up to the other side with some worry in his eyes.

……

Yang Dayuan was not worried about his own safety.

Because if Li Xia killed him, the gain would outweigh the loss.

The key thing Li Xia has to do right now is to win the hearts of the people in the Northland. Every time he wins, he will be stronger and Kublai Khan will be weaker.

At this time, if Yang Dayuan is killed, it will only destroy his reputation, and it will be difficult for northerners to trust Li Xia in the future.

And it's useless to kill them, the Yang family also has generals such as Yang Daji, Yang Wenzhong, Yang Wen'an, and Yang Dayuan's son Yang Wencan.

Therefore, Yang Dayuan calmly went to the other side and walked among the soldiers of the Song Army to meet Li Xia.

Li Xia then invited him to talk in the small pavilion on the plateau and had lunch together.

Talking about Yin Shi, Yang Dayuan asked what happened to Sichuan and Sichuan.

When he heard that the soldiers and civilians in various mountain cities were moved down again, he was very emotional, and his eyes gradually turned red.

"In this life, I have successively served in Pengzhou, Lizhou, Langzhou, Kuizhou... I have traveled all over Sichuan and Sichuan. I have been to every mountain city and every place you just mentioned..."

Yang Dayuan raised his head, thinking of the soldiers and civilians in central Sichuan returning to their hometowns to live and work in peace and contentment, while he himself was eating wind and sand in the northwest, he just felt that luck was playing tricks on others.

He didn't excuse himself, and sighed deeply.

"A single mistake will cause eternal hatred!"

Li Xia could see that what Yang Dayuan said was sincere.

This veteran of Shuzhong really has feelings for the Song Dynasty, for Sichuan and Shu, for the landscape and people of Sichuan and Shu.

"There is still a way back." Li Xia said.

In today's conversation, Yang Dayuan clearly looked like he wished he could surrender Li Xia and return to Sichuan and Sichuan immediately, and it wasn't acting.

But when it came to key issues, he was silent.

Li Xia was patient and didn't rush to urge him. After waiting for a long time, he heard Yang Dayuan speak again.

"This old man is ashamed. He ate a lot of rice, but surrendered on his knees. He failed the emperor's high expectations and ruined his brother's reputation for loyalty."

Yang Dayuan did not say that he was ashamed of the people, he saved the lives of the people in the city.

He sat by the pavilion, stroked his knees, thought for a while, and said: "If possible, the old man really wants to go back to Sichuan..."

This sentence may have the potential to affect the situation of the entire world.

With Yang Dayuan's qualifications, after he surrendered, he quickly surrounded him with all the surrendered generals, forming another warlord force in Mongolia.

When he surrendered back then, he almost surrendered with all the cities in central Shu except Diaoyu City.

Now, if he is willing to surrender Li Xia.The important thing is not what he can do for Li Xia in the future, this matter alone can make countless people lose confidence in Kublai Khan.

Li Xia was very cautious. After hearing Yang Dayuan's statement, he thought about it and asked slowly, "What does Old General Yang want?"

He called him "Old General" instead of "Marshal Du", which did not recognize the post of commander that Mongolia had given Yang Dayuan.

After these words, Yang Dayuan's expression seemed to calm down a bit, he continued to pat his knees, and said: "Those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me say what I want."

Faintly, she was not as sincere as before.

Li Xia smiled.

He knew that Yang Dayuan was somewhat different from Liu Heima.

Liu Heima was defeated and had no choice but to surrender; Yang Dayuan still had a choice, and he knew that in the current situation, he could just play a role in affecting the whole body.

At this time, it is time to give some sufficient conditions.

But Li Xia still said: "Old General Yang also knows that although Mongolia treats military generals leniently now, it may not be so in the future."

"In Mongolia... the post of Marshal of the capital can be inherited." Yang Dayuan said slowly.

There was silence in the small pavilion for a while.

The previous full and sincere emotions came from Yang Dayuan's heart, and his eyes were red, as if he had decided to go anyway.

But, the truth is only now being spoken.

Vital interests.

This is only Yang Dayuan's first condition.

There must be something else behind.

Of course, if Li Xia refuses to agree to this condition, there is no need to talk about it later.

Li Xia answered irrelevant questions and talked about other things.

"This time Kublai Khan assembled an army to attack, but finally returned without success. How does Old General Yang think about it? Can you see the future situation clearly?"

All hereditary marshals, military and civilian chiefs, if the Mongolian country disappears in the end, everything will be gone.

Yang Dayuan asked back: "If it wasn't for the chaos in the grassland this time, would Guanzhong really be able to hold it?"

"The Mongolian army has been attacking for two months, but has not entered the pass, which is enough to show that Kublai Khan is strong on the outside and on the inside."

"Brother Ali saved the siege for you, didn't he?"

"No." Li Xia said.

"Oh, all right."

Yang Dayuan smiled and waved his hands, indicating that there is no need to talk about this topic again.

His smile was a bit disgusting, and his attitude was a bit contemptuous. If Zhang Jue came to persuade him to surrender, he would be so angry that he would throw his axe.

Raising the ax is useless, it can't change Yang Dayuan's mind, and being irritable will only make Yang Dayuan look down on him more.

This persuasion to surrender seemed to have been screwed up by Li Xia.

Fortunately, Yang Dayuan didn't leave right away, Nianxu pondered for a long time, and said to himself: "I heard that Wang Jian only entered Qingshui County as the founding uncle."

He bit the word "only" a little bit harder.

The attitude seemed to say, "If you are not willing to give the Marquis the authority, at least you should give him a title...Of course, even if you are willing to give it, I have to think about it."

Li Xia groaned without answering.

He himself is just a county king, so what can he promise to Yang Dayuan?
"Well, in the future..."

"In the future? Since the king of the county boasted that he had repelled the Mongolian army, what will happen later?" Yang Dayuan asked back, shaking his head and sighing: "This old man won't live for a few more years."

Negotiating conditions is always cumbersome.

Right now, too many issues have been involved, including Li Xia's improper name and unsatisfactory words. It is really difficult to give others enough confidence.

But today there would have been no results.

It is impossible for Li Xia to agree to any conditions of Yang Dayuan right away, he just needs to know Yang Dayuan's attitude first, and then think about it.

The same is true for Yang Dayuan, and it doesn't count if he thinks about it himself, even if he decides to surrender to Li Xia, he still has to go back to discuss with the family and convince everyone to agree.

The two of them tested each other like this until the sky was getting dark...

In the end, Yang Dayuan stepped off the platform, got on the raft again, and rowed to the other side of the Yan River with the pole.

Meeting Li Xia today, he regretted and was disappointed.

Li Xia did not agree to many conditions as he expected, and expressed his attitude that "I will defeat Kublai Khan sooner or later, and now I am giving you a chance."

Yang Dayuan didn't like it.

But there was a thought in his heart asking him, "Do you dare to bet that this young man can succeed?"

This idea is not strong, there is only one point, let him want to test Li Xia more, and then think about it.

~~
Li Xia got on his horse, glanced at Hao Tianyi, and then looked at Yang Dayuan's back, thinking that he had achieved a lot today.

No matter how Yang Dayuan chooses, the gap between Kublai Khan and the Han people who support him will grow wider and wider.

It was getting dark quickly.

When Yang Dayuan rowed to the center of the river, Li Xia could only see a silhouette on the river.

Speaking of Yang Dayuan, he is not noble, but his character is not bad; he has selfishness, but he also has publicity; he will be weak, but he is also compassionate.

He defended Sichuan and Shu, protected the people, and voted for the Mongolian army. He also regretted it in his heart and wanted a good reputation. After all, he still had to consider his family.

Perhaps, if someone else were in his situation, many, many people would make the same choice as him.

man...

"puff."

When dusk and night alternated, in the last ray of light between the sky and the earth, an arrow shot out from nowhere, hitting Yang Dayuan who was supporting the small raft.

"Pfft."

The figure fell straight into the water.

The veteran general of Sichuan and the Marshal of Sichuan and Shanxi did not even struggle, and his body followed the waves.

"uncle!"

"Big guy!"

"..."

"Cross the river! Kill Li Xia for me! Avenge my uncle..."
