Eleven Cochin Surrender 1

"How did Your Majesty become like this?" Liu Renxian sighed softly, raised the wine glass in his hand, and slowly drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. This chapter is available online from the web

Yang Yan and Chen Liang, who were sitting opposite him, glanced at each other and were speechless.

Now more than a month has passed since the recovery of Dali City, the order in the city has been restored to normal, and the administrative management of Dali has begun to operate normally.

Yang Yan wrote the progress of the Song army in Dali into this chapter and submitted it to the court in Lin'an, saying: Although Dali has been pacified by the scriptures, Gao Jianming has fled to Jiaozhi to hide, which shows that Jiaozhi is now not giving up. Therefore, Yang Yan suggested that the imperial court should continue to use troops against Jiaozhi, at least fight with Jiaozhi, deal a heavy blow to Jiaozhi, and force Jiaozhi to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, so as to deter Jiaozhi's ambitions.

After Yang Yan's chapter came out, Liu Fuwu sent back the good news of the defeat of the Jiaozhi and Gao coalition forces by the Heishui River, and Yang Yan ordered Liu Fuwu to camp by the Heishui River and wait for orders. He also sent Zhang Shiyan to lead the men and horses of the headquarters and the elephant army to the Heishui River to strengthen the strength of the Song army on the front line, while he waited for the reply of the imperial court in Dali City.

However, during the period of waiting in Dali, Yang Yan also knew some of Duan Zhixing's actions, especially after learning the news of the victory of the Heishui River, Duan Zhixing knew that Gao Jianming's power had been completely defeated, so he finally completely put his mind at ease, and from then on, he was looking for fun every night, and he didn't care about the government, even important ministers like Gan Hua and Liu Jianhe, in addition to the routine time of going to court every day, it was rare to see Duan Zhixing. And just yesterday, when the morning dynasty was made, Duan Zhixing announced that the morning dynasty once a day would be changed to once every three days in the future.

Yang Yan and Chen Liang talked about it in private, and they sighed a few times, but these are the internal affairs of other countries, and they don't bother to care, and now they are just waiting for the order of the imperial court to come to Dali before they can make the next arrangements.

On this day, Yang Yan and Chen Liang went out to wander together, and unfortunately met Liu Renxian, who was drinking here in a restaurant.

Liu Renxian put down his wine glass and said: "I would like to think that after this incident, Your Majesty will change the inaction of the ancestors, lie down and taste courage, work hard, and revitalize Dali." Unexpectedly, now the high thief has not been eradicated, the threat of Jiaozhi is still there, but His Majesty is addicted to wine all day long, not enterprising, yesterday actually issued an order, appointing Huang Qishan as the governor of the political affairs, Qian Zhiqiao as the head of the household, Zou Pingzhu as the head of the Xing department. ”

Yang Yan was slightly stunned, although he was not very clear about the affairs of Dali, but he also knew that Huang Qishan, Qian Zhiqiao, and Zou Pingzhu were all important figures in the Gao family's party. Some time ago, Zhixing ordered them to be released, and Yang Yan can still be understood, because these three people have huge forces behind them, and once they are killed, I am afraid that it will be too big. didn't expect these people to return to Dali's officialdom so soon.

It turned out that the daughters of Huang Qishan and Qian Zhiqiao, Zou Pingzhu's sister-in-law were originally married to the Gao family, but this time they were all accepted into the palace by Duan Zhixing, these women were all born very beautiful and were quite favored by Duan Zhixing, so they often interceded for their families by Duan Zhixing's side. In addition, Gonggong Ning also advised Duan Zhixing: The ministers of the DPRK and China should check and balance each other, and they should not let one side dominate before they can become a major trouble. Now Liu Jianhe and Gan Hua seem to have become one party, and the government is out of their own hands, and they must not be restricted.

Although Duan Zhixing still trusts Gan Hua and Liu Jianhe very much, he feels that Father-in-law Ning's words also make sense. Gonggong Ning took the opportunity to suggest that Duan Zhixing select a few people from the original Gao party, pardon the crimes, restore their official positions, and restrain Gan Hua and Liu Jianhe in the court. And said: "Since they can be used by the Gao clan and can also be used by Your Majesty, not to mention that they are criminals, if Your Majesty ignores the past suspicions, but entrusts them with important responsibilities, they will definitely be grateful to Your Majesty and do their best to serve Your Majesty." ”

Duan Zhixing thought about it for a while, and couldn't resist the persuasion of those women, and finally ordered the three of them to be used. Even though Gan Hua and Liu Jianhe wanted to oppose it, Duan Zhixing was determined and had nothing to do.

Although it is said that Dali's national politics have nothing to do with Yang Yan, after listening to this cause and effect, Yang Yan and Chen Liang couldn't help but be very disappointed in Duan Zhixing, and they were also worried about the future situation in Dali. After all, this time the Song army spent a lot of effort to help Dali restore the country, but he didn't expect that it would become such a result now.

Liu Renxian lowered his head and said slowly: "When we fought bloodily in order to protect Dali, what were Huang Qishan, Qian Zhiqiao, and Zou Pingzhu doing?" They are helping Gao Jianming wholeheartedly, and we have persevered until now, and in the end, they have easily changed from traitors to important ministers of this dynasty, what kind of world is this. ”

He raised his head again, looked at Yang Yan and said, "Now it seems that the sacrifice of the eldest princess was worth it at the beginning, if Yan Zhu knew about today's situation, I don't know what she would think?" If I had known this, I might have walked away with her. ”

Yang Yan smiled bitterly, and didn't know what to say. Chen Liang said: "General Liu, don't be too pessimistic, maybe Your Majesty is just confused for a while, and he will understand after a while." ”

Liu Renxian shook his head with a wry smile, stood up, and said, "I want to be alone for a while, so I won't accompany you." After paying the bill, he staggered out of the restaurant.

Yang Yan looked at Chen Liang and said, "Brother Tongfu, I didn't expect it to be like this." ”

Chen Liang sighed lightly and said, "Zihao, you didn't show up."

Yang Yan was also silent.

A few days later, Lin'an's edict came down, agreeing to Yang Yan's plan to continue to march to Jiaozhi, and by Yang Yan's privileges, Dali and Jiaozhi matters were handled by Yang Yan himself, and there was no need to ask the imperial court for instructions on everything.

It turned out that after receiving Yang Yan's report, Zhao Yan was also very happy, but he didn't expect Yang Yan to help Dali successfully restore the country in just over three months after entering Dali. However, as for Yang Yan's suggestion to continue to use troops against Jiaozhi, Zhao Yan was a little undecided, and summoned the ruling ministers to discuss. Yu Yunwen thinks that if he fights with the scriptures, he should fight thoroughly, and now that there is nothing to do in the north, he will simply completely subdue Jiaozhi, and he will not dare to make trouble in the future. In the future, the Great Song Dynasty will use troops against the Jin State, and there will be no worries. Zhao Yan thought about it, and also felt that what Yu Yunwen said was reasonable, and immediately allowed it.

Then Yu Yunwen said again, Lin'an and Dali, Jiaozhi are thousands of miles apart, documents and news are inconvenient, should be subject to Yang Yan's privileges, and between Jiaozhi is war or peace, when to fight, and when to make peace, Yang Yan has to decide for himself, there is no need to play the court in everything, wait for the court to reply, so as not to delay the opportunity. Zhao Yan had no objection to this, so he issued such an edict.

After Yang Yan received the order, he immediately went to see Duan Zhixing. If others wanted to see Duan Zhixing, they would be blocked by Father-in-law Ning, but as soon as Yang Yan said that he wanted to see him, even Father-in-law Ning did not dare to slack off, and immediately went inside to report in person. Duan Zhixing didn't dare to treat Yang Yan slowly, and immediately dressed up to meet him.

In fact, Yang Yan hadn't seen Duan Zhixing for nearly twenty days, and at this time, he saw Duan Zhixing's face was blue and his eyes were swollen, and at a glance, he knew that he was overly drunk. Yang Yan sighed in his heart and said his intentions. It was emphasized that it was the Great Song Dynasty that ordered it to continue to attack Jiaozhi.

Although Zhixing was addicted to alcohol during these periods, he was not confused in his heart, he naturally knew that behind Gao Jianming's rebellion was Jiaozhi's support, and now Gao Jianming is still Jiaozhi, but Dali's henchmen are in great trouble. Although Gao's power in Dali City has been eliminated, after all, Gao's has been operating in Dali for more than 100 years, with deep roots and intertwined roots, and there are still many comrades who hold official positions in the local area, and there is still a lot of power in Dali.

In fact, in this period of more than a month, there were many remnants of the Gao family, who fled from Dali to Jiaozhi to defect to Gao Jianming, and at this time, six or seven thousand people were regathered around Gao Jianming, and there was a considerable amount of property, which shows that Gao's power in Dali should not be underestimated. Therefore, at this time, the Song army continued to attack Jiaozhi, which was beneficial and harmless for Dali.

As soon as Duan Zhixing heard Yang Yan's words, he immediately asked, "I don't know when Yang Yuma plans to start raising troops?" ”

Yang Yan said: "Back to Your Majesty, these foreign ministers have already made preparations, and the army will be able to come out in five days." And now Dali has all been pacified, and the task of the foreign minister has also been completed, so after the foreign minister intends to attack Jiaozhi, he will return to the Great Song Dynasty from Jiaozhi and will not return to Dali, so he will also resign to His Majesty. ”

Duan Zhixing was taken aback and said, "Yang Juma has a great favor to my Dali, and I haven't reported it yet, how can I leave like this?" After the Jiaozhi, I must return to Dali, and it will be too late to stay for a longer time. ”

Yang Yan smiled slightly and said, "During this period of time, Your Majesty has taken very good care of the foreign ministers and others, and has also rewarded a lot of property, how dare the foreign ministers ask for anything more?" What's more, the foreign minister still has official business to deal with in Guangnan, and he does not dare to stay in Dali for more, I hope His Majesty will forgive me. ”
