Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 640 The Ghostly Yang Wudi

Fujiwara Chaocheng was ordered to go to Kizukawaguchi to negotiate peace with Chen Decheng's South China Sea Navy.

Dang Fujiwara Chaocheng did not leave immediately, but went to the Yinyangliao Office in Heiankyo.

Japan in this era was civilized and peaceful on the outside, but inside it was full of dirty aristocratic power struggles.The greed and incompetence of the government has caused the people at the bottom to live like walking dead.

Numerous historical events have shown that the harder people live, the more they yearn for spiritual comfort.

The island country has been plagued by many disasters since ancient times. In the past ten years, the Wa country has encountered unprecedented natural and man-made disasters: earthquakes, fires, floods and other situations continue to emerge, so the people are panicked, and the chaos of ghosts and gods is rampant.

Not only the high-ranking people speak with certainty, but it is also popular among the common people.The aristocrats believed in the auspiciousness of the azimuth and the date, and they had to choose the day and the azimuth whenever they went out. Whenever there was a disease or disaster, they would pretend to be ghosts and creatures or come across unclean things such as ghosts and night walks.

In this atmosphere, the profession of Onmyoji is extremely noble.

They use Yinyangliao as their office, responsible for observing astronomy, weather and divination, formulating calendars, and expelling monsters in the capital to balance Yin and Yang in the world.

If you say who is the best, the most outstanding, and the greatest among Onmyoji.

There is no doubt that it is Abe Seimei.

It was Abe Seimei who Fujiwara Asari came to find.

Abe Seimei is in his early fifties this year. Wearing a tall black hat and white clothes, he looks extremely solemn.

As the Fujiwara family, Fujiwara Chaocheng has a very high status in Beijing, ranking fourth rank in the council, similar to being a political advisor.

And Abe Seimei is just a seventh-rank yin and yang assistant.

However, it is obvious that Fujiwara Tomosei respects Abe Seimei very much, even a little humble, and said: "Dr. Seimei, I am ordered by the left minister to go to Kizukawaguchi to negotiate peace with the Central Plains. I don't know when to leave, it is the most appropriate."

At this time, the Japanese country believed in the theory of yin and yang, and the nobles strictly abided by its etiquette and laws, and even had corresponding taboos on daily life such as getting up, washing, and eating.

When going out to do things, you have to find an onmyoji to test the bad luck and ask the good luck.

As the envoy of peace this time, Fujiwara Tosari was naturally unavoidable.

Abe Seimei said still inscrutablely: "Negotiate peace? Is the left minister not prepared to resist?"

Fujiwara Chaocheng shook his head and smiled wryly: "Resist? What should we use to resist? During the Northern Expedition to Koryo, the imperial court gathered most of the supplies on Kyushu Island, and now they are all in the hands of the Central Plains. The local samurai tried to stop them several times, but in vain. They went east, and the left minister arranged to take Tianjin The navy rushed to block the Seto Inland Sea, but the other navy rushed over and smashed our navy to pieces. In land warfare, our armor can't stop their bows and arrows, but their armor can resist us As for the water battle...their big ships treat us as nothing, how can we resist?"

Abe Seimei was dumbfounded and said, "How could this be?"

Fujiwara Asunari sighed: "For a hundred years we have been standing still, or even retreating. The other party has been making progress, and there is nothing we can do."

As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Abe Seimei and said, "Dr. Seimei, I heard that you can drive ghosts, and all the ghosts in Beijing will be subdued by you. If the peace talks fail, can you release all the ghosts to resist the bandits in the Central Plains?"

A weak country has no diplomacy, and the stronger the Central Plains, the less optimistic Fujiwara Asari will be about his mission this time.

"..."

The corners of Abe Seimei's eyes twitched involuntarily. The greatest onmyoji in Japan did not lose his grip at this critical moment, and said: "If the Central Plains thieves really dare to invade our Ping'an capital, I will drive all ghosts to help..."

Monan Songziling.

Yeludeli looked at the mess in front of him, and cursed: "What kind of golden sword is Yang Wudi, it's just a mouse hiding its head and showing its tail, you rat..."

Dayu and Khitan hadn't confronted each other yet, and they were both in the pre-war preparation state. They waited for an opportunity to go out and see who couldn't bear it first.

But the friction between the two sides has already begun.

The game of cavalry between the two armies unfolded everywhere in the complex terrain of Monan.

The military power of the Monan Dading Mansion is in the hands of Yelusha, the Prime Minister of the Nanfu, and Yelusha is naturally the main force on Khitan's side.

And Dayu of the Central Plains is Yang Ye.

Yelusha is also one of Khitan's mightiest fighters, and in terms of ability, he might not lose to Yang Ye.However, Yelusha was good at fighting tough battles. He was born in the Chute tribe of the Khitan, and became a soldier of the Chute tribe.

Although Yang Ye was born in a family of generals, he was born in the weak Northern Han Dynasty, and his enemies were several times their Hou Zhou.

Since Yang Ye led the army, he has been doing the work of harassing the guerrillas, causing the greatest damage to Hou Zhou with the least casualties.

He has rich experience in guerrilla warfare. After joining Dayu, Luo Youdu tailor-made the Jingsai Army for him, giving him the right to fight independently in the Monan Grassland.

From assisting Yelu Dilie's Yunzhong Khitan against the Eastern Khitan at the very beginning, to helping Xiao Hunian gain a foothold in Zhangjiakou, Yang Ye went further and further on the road of guerrilla warfare.

Extraordinary martial arts, extraordinary military talent, plus more than ten years of guerrilla experience, equipped with a powerful cavalry army.

In Monan, Yang Ye takes whatever he wants and comes and goes freely.

Yang Ye could always find the Khitan's weakness and give them a fatal blow, but they blindly followed Yang Ye's ass to eat ashes.

Yeludeli received news today that one of their Youyi squads had been attacked.

Yelu Deli rushed over non-stop, but as usual, he saw only a mess and more than two hundred corpses.

Yelude stomped his feet angrily.

Yeludeli is the son of Yelusha, the Prime Minister of Nanfu.

Yang Ye came and went freely in Monan, so it was natural that he hit Yelusha in the face.

Yeludeli personally led the troops to fight, just to find a place for his father.

The result was still a step late.

Yelu Deli vented his anger and said, "Collect the corpses for the brothers!"

Grassland people believe in letting the dead return to their hometown and reunite their souls with their families.

Therefore, compared to the incineration of corpses in the Central Plains, most of them would choose to bring the corpses back and get rich rewards.

As soon as Yeludeli gave this order, some soldiers couldn't wait to get off their horses, and they quickly snatched the spoils and corpses on the ground.

A veteran beside Yeludeli looked around at the surrounding terrain. Songziling is located in a small mountain to the south of Mayu Mountain. The surrounding hills are undulating, and the terrain is quite complicated.

"Young master, the environment here is dangerous, so it is not suitable to stay for a long time."

Yelu Deli said displeased: "That idiot Yang Ye ran away, how dare you come again?"

The veteran said: "Soldiers never tire of cheating, it may not be so."

Yelu Deli was at a loss for words for a moment.

The veteran did not serve in the army, but his father Yelusha's retinue named Xiluqing, who has been fighting with Yelusha in all the battles, has rich experience.

After Yeludeli became an adult, Yelusha transferred Xiluqing to Yeludeli.

Under Xi Luqing's suggestion many times, Yeludeli made many achievements and respected him quite a lot.

Seeing what he said, Yelu Deli said: "Okay, just listen to Mr. Qing, Wu, you lead some soldiers and horses to be on guard, and the rest of the people move faster, let's leave this place."

Xi Luqing saw that Yeludeli's arrangement was good, so he stopped talking and stepped aside respectfully.

At this moment, on the hillside of Songziling, Yang Ye held a binoculars in one hand, closed his eyes, looked at the scattered battlefield from a distance, watched them divide a group of people to guard, and said: "The vigilance is quite high. General Liang, do you want to fight or not?"

He handed the telescope to Lieutenant General Liang Chongzan.

Liang Chongzan took it for a closer look, and said: "The opponent has a lot of people. I remember that there is a group of rangers nearby. If we fight here, the other side will definitely come to support. Even if we win, it is not worthwhile."

They're not on a mission and don't have to win.

Yang Ye also meant the same thing. He nodded, took a sheepskin map from his pocket, and unfolded it for a closer look.

This map is the detailed topographic map of Monan, with the mountains, rivers, vegetation drawn vividly.

Luo Youdu is a cartographer specially trained for marching and fighting. The maps drawn with precise and vivid painting skills have brought great convenience to the generals fighting on the front line.

In addition to the precise map, this map is also marked with dots in charcoal.

If Yelusha saw this map, he would be shocked.

At this point, Yelusha has realized Yang Ye's attainments in guerrilla warfare, and sending a small group of rangers is equivalent to sending him to death.

In order to prevent Yang Ye from doing whatever he wants in Monan, he stopped playing hide and seek with Yang Ye.Instead, they planted a lot of soldiers and horses in various places, and set up a big net, waiting for Yang Ye to close the net when he entered the urn, and wipe out the Jingsai army.

But Yang Ye relied on the advantage of the telescope to investigate the soldiers and horses deployed by Yelusha clearly, and they appeared one by one on the map in his hand.

Yang Ye came and went freely in the gap.

Yang Ye looked at the map, and suddenly said: "They came from the Lu'er Gorge Hall to support them!"

Liang Chongzan said: "No mistake, the opponent is different from ordinary Khitan soldiers. All the cavalry are wearing vests, which are a level higher than the ranger equipment we encountered. The leader should be a big fish. Their leader should be wearing light armor. , ordinary Khitans can’t afford to wear them. For such an army, the only surrounding area is the Lu’er Gorge Hall.”

Yang Ye said with a smile: "Then take his head and present it to His Majesty as a meeting gift."

Liang Chongzan said in surprise, "Is there a chance?"

Yang Ye pointed to the map and said, "They came from the Lu'er Gorge Pavilion, which is sixteen miles away, not far away. From the analysis of the time of their arrival, they must have gotten the news and rushed here immediately. This distance is not far away. They didn't prepare spare horses. They rode alone, which consumed a lot of foot strength. Judging from their prudence, they should not stay here for too long, and they will rush to withdraw the deer before sunset Erxia Pavilion."

He pointed to the middle between Luerxia Pavilion and Songziling and said: "We are waiting for them here. It is only five miles away from Luerxia Pavilion. They came from Luerxia Pavilion and said that they have no extra troops to support. The nearest The support point is near Shenshan, about 35 miles away from here. We made a quick decision and retreated immediately. We can just use the night to avoid their encirclement."

Liang Chongzan had followed Yang Ye for many years, boasting that he had obtained his true biography, but now seeing his attack plan drawn up by taking advantage of the right time, place and people's hearts, he was completely convinced, and said: "The last general will arrange it!"

Yang Ye nodded slightly, and put away the binoculars like a treasure.

Being able to come and go freely in Monan is of course because Yang Ye does have extraordinary guerrilla warfare skills, but the role of the telescope is also huge.

The spies he sent out had one person, and he had stated his attitude in advance that when encountering a dangerous situation, the first thing to do was to destroy the telescope.

Therefore, the binoculars distributed to the spies are simple versions. The mirror body is made of bamboo tubes, and it will fall apart if twisted hard.As for the lens, it goes without saying that it can be broken easily.

Yeludeli and Xiluqing returned the same way. They had a group of more than a thousand people with more than two hundred corpses. They were a bit dull and their morale was low.

It was about to arrive at the Lu'er Gorge Pavilion, and even the experienced Xi Luqing was in a bad mood.

The pressure Yang Ye brought to them was too great, the other party was like a ghost, elusive, appearing in places they didn't expect every time, giving them a heavy blow.

Tens of thousands of them searched for a thousand-man army. They should have pinched them with their hands, but they could only eat ashes along with their asses.

I searched for the other party's trace several times, but when I got closer to five or six miles, the other party seemed to be notified by someone, and ran away in a hurry.

The most regrettable time was that they set up a siege, and 8000 people chased Yang Ye, trying to force him into an ambush.

As a result, they couldn't enter the door and directly bypassed the ambush.

Yelusha was so angry that he even wondered if there was a secret operation in the army. Some people defected to the enemy and passed the news to Yang Ye.

After all, the penetration of the Central Plains to them is so strong that it has never been seen in ancient times.

It's the same this time, since I got the news, I will support you immediately.

As a result, no ghosts were encountered, and only two hundred corpses were collected.

Anyone who encounters this is not interested.

Xi Luqing followed Yeludeli all the way.

Suddenly Yelu Deli stopped in his tracks.

Xi Luqing glanced curiously.

Yelu Deli was also a little puzzled, raised the whip in his hand, and slapped it on the horse's buttocks.

The war horse walked reluctantly in pain.

"and many more!"

Xi Luqing's expression suddenly changed, and he said loudly, "Don't make any noise."

Xi Luqing has experienced battles for a long time, and he knows that the intuition of animals is far better than that of humans.

Sometimes their response is a warning sign.

Xi Luqing jumped off his horse, put his ears on the ground, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed: "Quick, there are cavalry approaching here quickly, ready to meet the enemy."

There is no escape.

When they heard the news of the rescue, they rushed to the battlefield as fast as they could.

Although Khitan horses are known for their endurance, accelerated running and uniform running are two concepts.

The nearest friendly army is 35 miles away, which is far enough for the enemy to catch up.

In such a situation, there is only one war.

Yeludeli squinted his eyes and looked carefully into the distance. It seemed that under the afterglow of the setting sun, something was indeed approaching rapidly.

He was very convinced by Xi Luqing's judgment, and he held up his iron gun and shouted: "Finally, when the thief is seen, cheer up and follow me to chop off the heads of the Central Plains rats who hide their heads and show their tails..."

He raised his morale loudly and directed the soldiers to start speeding up.

Both are speeding up each other, and soon the two sides will enter a stone's throw...
