Monument Yangmen

Chapter 737 Buying People's Hearts
Yang Yanhui escaped from the military tent, and bumped into Yang Qi who was waiting for him outside the tent.

The two Liao people who entered the customs with Yang Yanhui had been forced to retreat by the Zamahe warriors.

Yang Qi looked at Yang Yanhui with cold eyes, Yang Yanhui didn't dare to look at Yang Qi, turned his head away slightly.

"What did she do to you?"

Yang Qi questioned Yang Yanhui in a cold voice.

Yang Yanhui tremblingly said: "She didn't feel sorry for me, it was I who felt sorry for her."

Yang Qi's anger surged into his heart in an instant, and he growled: "You know you are sorry for her, why do you still treat her like this?"

Yang Yanhui lowered his head and said guiltily, "I don't want her to end up alone because of waiting for me..."

Yang Qi raised his hand angrily, wanting to slap Yang Yanhui, but he stopped half way up the hand.

He restrained the anger in his chest, pointed to the outside of the Tongtai Pass, and said loudly: "You can go, my fourth sister-in-law lives, and my brothers from the Yang family will worry about it, and it has nothing to do with you. Go back and tell Xiao Zhuo that Yanyun sixteen I want the state. Either she will cede it to me, or I will take someone to grab it myself. Other things will be discussed after I win the sixteen states of Yanyun."

"Peng Pai, see off the guests!"

Peng Pai, who had been waiting at the side, hurried to Yang Yanhui and made a gesture of please.

Yang Yanhui opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but Yang Qi didn't give him a chance to speak.

Yang Yanhui led the two Liao people with a bitter expression, and was sent out of Tongtai Pass by Peng Pai.

Yang Yanhui left.

Several other brothers of the Yang family came out from behind the military tent.

Yang Wuyi glared at Yang Er beside him angrily, "Second brother, why did you drag me just now? Why didn't you let me teach this unlucky traitor a lesson?"

Yang Er smiled wryly and shook his head.

Yang Wu snorted coldly, turned around and asked Yang Qi, "Seventh brother, why didn't you slap him just now? You should vent your anger on him by slapping him a few more times for your parents, for our brother, and for the fourth sister-in-law?"

"Hey……"

Yang Erchang sighed, flicked his sleeves, and left the vicinity of the military tent.

Yang San followed Yang Er's footsteps and left.

Yang Liu patted Yang Wu on the shoulder and left alone.

Yang Wu was a little dazed, not understanding what his brothers meant, he looked at Yang Qi in astonishment, "Seventh brother, this..."

Yang Qi said lightly: "Get ready for battle!"

"what?!"

Yang Qi also left.

Yang Wu scratched his head sadly, "What do you mean? Aren't you angry? Why do you always have this reaction? Who can explain to me why?"

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Yang Wu followed Yang Qi's footsteps and shouted: "Seventh brother, wait, explain to me, what do you mean?"

After the brothers of the Yang family returned to their respective armies, they began to step up their preparations for battle.

Yang Qi opened his mouth to the Liao State to ask for the Yanyun Sixteen States, his attitude was extremely tough, and he did not give the Liao people a chance to negotiate.

Liao people are not soft persimmons, how could they give up Yanyun sixteen prefectures to Yang Qi just because of a threat?
Zhao Guangyi's nearly one million Liao people are not afraid, how could they be afraid of Yang Qi's more than 40 troops.

Outside Tongtai Pass.

Yang Yanhui returned to the Liao army's barracks in a daze, and was taken to the Chinese army's tent by the guards who were waiting in advance.

Inside the Chinese army tent.

The Empress Dowager Xiao was holding the little Yelusi in her arms, and the little emperor was sitting beside him, and the three of them were playing.

Brother Yeluxiu sat down leisurely, playing with a tiger talisman in his hand.

Seeing Yang Yanhui entered the tent, Empress Dowager Xiao put the little Yelusi in her arms on the soft couch, and asked the little emperor to play with him, her phoenix eyes fell on Yang Yanhui.

Brother Yeluxiu turned his wrist, and the Tiger Talisman disappeared in his hand, and he also looked at Yang Yanhui.

"Your Majesty sees the Empress Dowager, sees Your Majesty, and sees Da Yue."

"For a humble position, see the Empress Dowager, see Your Majesty, see Da Yue, and see King Langya."

The three envoys headed by Yang Yanhui rushed to salute after entering the big tent.

Brother Yeluxiu glanced at the faces of the three of them, frowned and said, "Did you not have a pleasant conversation?"

The unhappy expressions of the three people were all on their faces, so Yeluxiu could see it at a glance.

Yang Yanhui lowered his head and remained silent.

Brother Yeluxiu's confidants heard Brother Yeluxiu's question, and immediately shouted anxiously: "Queen Mother, Da Yue, that Yang Yansi is extremely arrogant and domineering, and has no intention of negotiating peace with us at Daliao.

He also said that he wanted Yanyun Sixteen States.Either we cede it to him, or he will grab it by himself, and if he wants to talk about peace, he has to wait until he gets the Yanyun Sixteen States. "

"Oh!"

Brother Yeluxiu raised his hand and slapped the table, furiously said: "Arrogance, he is not afraid of breaking his teeth? Do you really think that my Daliao is a soft persimmon that he will ravage? This king and the queen mother see him as the uncle of King Langya. For the sake of pity him, we talked with him. Does he really regard himself as a character?"

"Uh-huh……"

Brother Yeluxiu's confidant nodded frantically, with a look of admiration on his face.

Empress Dowager Xiao was not angry, she frowned and looked at Yang Yanhui, and asked in a deep voice: "Yang Yanhui, what do you have to say?"

Yang Yanhui hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head.

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned even tighter, she glanced at Brother Yeluxiu, and nodded imperceptibly.

Brother Yeluxiu waved his hands domineeringly, and said: "Go down and wait first, the king will discuss with the queen mother about dealing with Yang Yansi."

"As ordered."

The three of Yang Yanhui left together.

The anger on Brother Yeluxiu's face was swept away, replaced by seriousness.

"Yang Yansi is going to take over the war that invaded my Daliao from the Song Dynasty, and invade my Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures."

Empress Dowager Xiao said solemnly: "Yang Yansi's ambition is in Yanyun, and he insists on forcing us to fight him..."

Brother Yeluxiu said with a heavy expression: "Although Yang Yansi is difficult to deal with, it is impossible for us to hand over Yanyun Sixteen States to others. Since he wants to fight, let's fight him. As long as his spirit is frustrated, It’s time to talk to him about it.”

Empress Dowager Xiao nodded, and said: "For the current plan, this is the only way to go. Everything depends on the eldest brother."

Brother Yeluxiu beat his chest with one hand, and said solemnly: "For my Daliao, it is my duty."

Since the two most powerful people in the Liao Kingdom decided to fight Yang Qi and defeat Yang Qi's spirit, they didn't hesitate any longer.

Immediately, Brother Yeluxiu came out of the tent of the Chinese army, called the gold general, and began to prepare for the battle.

Both sides are stepping up their preparations, and the war is imminent.

But at this time, Yang Qi wandered into the camp of the imperial guards who had taken refuge in him.

On the way here, Yang Wu had already equipped the soldiers of the Forbidden Army with the weapons that had been captured by the Liao Army before.

Although these weapons are not as sophisticated as the weapons of the soldiers of the imperial army, they are better than their empty hands.

After Yang Qi entered the barracks, someone recognized him and immediately called out everyone to come over and salute Yang Qi.

"See Huhou for a humble position."

"..."

Everyone saluted Yang Qi in unison, and the scene was very spectacular.

Yang Qi waved his hands in a friendly manner, "Everyone is busy with his own business, there is no need to be formal. The leaders come here, I have something to talk to you."

Not long after, several leaders surrounded Yang Qi.

They stared at Yang Qi with piercing eyes, as if they were looking at their idol.

At the same time, their eyes were full of hope.

They knew that Yang Qi had already declared war with the Liao Kingdom, so they hoped to follow Yang Qi and overcome the shame of Xueshun City's disastrous defeat.

Nothing can fill them with more righteous indignation than personal revenge.

Originally, they still resented Zhao Guangyi in their hearts, but since Zhao Guangyi's death, their resentment towards Zhao Guangyi has decreased a lot in their hearts.

Zhao Guangyi's fault, Zhao Guangyi has paid for it with his life.

Now all that remains is to collect debts from the Liao people.

Yang Qi felt their hopeful eyes, and guessed their thoughts in his heart.

However, they are destined to be unable to take revenge in person in this battle.

Yang Qi took a deep breath and said, "I have one thing to ask you to do, I wonder if you can agree?"

Someone immediately said: "Huhou doesn't need to be polite to us. Since we have already voted for Huhou, we should naturally obey Huhou's orders. As long as it is about fighting the Liao people, no matter what Huhou orders, we are obliged to do so."

The others nodded heavily, unanimously agreeing with his statement.

Yang Qi sighed: "I'm afraid you will not be able to fight the Liao people for the time being."

The generals of the Forbidden Army frowned, their faces a little ugly.

Someone said in a deep voice: "Hu Hou looks down on us, he thinks I'm not as good as your soldiers and horses, don't you bother to use me?"

Yang Qi smiled wryly and shook his head, "I didn't mean to humiliate you all. I have seen your abilities before, and they are stronger than my soldiers and horses."

"Then why don't you let me wait to join the battle?"

Ask directly with a straight temper.

Yang Qi said solemnly: "Because I have a more important matter for you to do."

The generals of the Forbidden Army frowned, and all looked at Yang Qi, waiting for the next sentence.

Yang Qi didn't hide it, and said bluntly: "I hope you all return to Bianjing City and help Zhao Defang win the throne."

"Forgive me for not agreeing. Since I have voted for the Marquis of the Tiger, I will naturally follow the Marquis of the Tiger's lead in the future, and I will never go back to the Song Dynasty again. I will never be ordered to die by an emperor who doesn't understand military affairs."

"I can't wait to go back..."

"It doesn't matter who sits on the throne of Song Dynasty and waits for me."

"If Huhou is interested in the throne of the Song Dynasty, I will be a pawn and help you win the throne of the Song Dynasty. As for the others? I don't care, and I don't obey him."

"..."

The officers and soldiers of the Forbidden Army obviously resisted returning to Bianjing.

As soon as Yang Qi's words came out, they were like dynamite kegs that had been ignited, yelling and refusing.

Obviously, although Zhao Guangyi's death relieved their anger a lot, it didn't completely disappear.

The officers and soldiers of the imperial army still had resentment in their hearts.

Yang Qi stopped them from arguing, and patiently persuaded him: "Everyone voted for me, I feel very inexplicable, but I, Yang Yansi, am not a selfish person. I can't selfishly keep you by my side just because of your fighting power.

Because your friends, clansmen, parents, wives and children, brothers and sisters are all in Bianjing City, or in a certain corner of the Song Dynasty, and are expecting you to disarm and return to the fields.

It's cool that you voted for me, but have you ever thought about what to do with the parents, wives and children you left behind in Song Dynasty?
This time, I helped you find a reason so that you can go back to Song Dynasty and reunite with your parents, wives and children.

If you go back and see your parents, wife and children, and you are still willing to vote for me, Yang Yansi, the gates of my four prefectures in the northwest will be open for you at any time.

At that time, you can bring your parents, wives and children to settle down in the four northwestern prefectures under my rule. "

After a pause, Yang Qi patted his chest, "This is the promise I, Yang Yansi, made to all of you. Not only that, it must have cost a lot for you to travel long distances with your parents, wives and children, and all the expenses will be paid by me. The four northwestern prefectures are responsible."

Yang Qi clenched his fists and declared loudly, "I not only want to take in your people, but also take in your hearts."

The words of buying people's hearts were said so openly by Yang Qi, not only did the soldiers of the Forbidden Army not feel disgusted, but they all screamed.

"Tiger Marquis Gao Yi!"

"Huhou always waited for me and thought about it. I was the one who wrongly blamed Huhou for his kindness."

"Huhou is kind to me, I remember it in my heart. Huhou doesn't have to worry about me. When I help Huhou repel the Liao people, I will return to the Song Dynasty, take my wife, children and mother, and go to the northwest The four mansions are at the disposal of the Marquis of the Tiger."

"..."

The men in the army are so cute.

They don't have so much flirtatiousness, and they will be honest with whoever treats them well.

Yang Qi's goal of motivating them was not achieved, instead it had the opposite effect, he smiled wryly, and could only confess: "Everyone, I also have selfish intentions in persuading you to return to Bianjing.

Presumably many of you have heard about the attack on Datong Mansion under my rule.

That sneak attack caused great damage to our four northwestern prefectures.

This time, I have fought against the Liao Kingdom, and I have no time to separate myself. At that time, if someone repeats the same tricks and attacks my four northwestern prefectures, I will be powerless to rescue them.

I don't want my own people to stab me in the back when I'm fighting bloody enemies.

So I reached an agreement with Zhao Defang, I will help him ascend to the throne of God, and he will restrain the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and will not attack my four northwestern prefectures. "

When Yang Qi said that he was in a bloody battle outside and was stabbed in the back by his own people, the soldiers of the imperial army were instantly aroused to feel the same hatred.

Because of this kind of thing, some of them have encountered it before.

Yang Qi bowed to the soldiers of the Forbidden Army, "This time, I have entrusted the four northwest mansions to your hands, and I hope you will support them."

Someone was moved by Yang Qi's words, he stood up, bowed and said: "Huhou trusts us, and is willing to entrust his wife, children, and children to us. I am willing to go to Bianjing City and help Huhou protect the four northwestern mansions. I just ask Huhou to save some time for me when he kills the Liao people, so that I can have the opportunity to avenge myself in the future."

"Willing to be driven by Huhou..."

"Willing to listen to Huhou's order..."

"..."

The generals of the Forbidden Army ordered Shi Li to express their views.

Yang Qilang laughed loudly, "Don't worry, everyone, I can't kill all the Liao people. This time, I only want the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in the Liao Kingdom. Next time, I will definitely lead you all into Shangjing City and rob the Liao people."

"Is this the agreement between Huhou and us?"

"Exactly!"
