Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 806
When a camel runs, it is not slower than a horse over a short distance.

In addition, the camels were taller, and the Tibetan and Dali warriors on their backs took out their spears, sat firmly on the camel's humps, and rushed forward to meet the team that was attacking like two wolf fangs.

Gao Shuyao raised her hand, and a cymbal with a sound like a ghost crying chopped towards the leader who was rushing in the front with two hammers in his hands.

However, the cymbal slid past but failed to cut off the man's head.

If the cymbal was not at a tricky angle, the man could only use the "plucking technique" when raising the hammer to meet it, and I'm afraid that this hammer would have smashed Gao Shuyao's cymbal.

When Gao Shuyao saw this, she immediately put away the flying cymbals and drew out the "Bukongsuo" from her waist.

The Unbreakable Rope, made from the skin of a giant colorful python from the mountains of Yunnan, rolled away with a sharp whistle.

The softest thing against the hardest thing is exactly the nemesis of Yang Shou's double hammers.

Yang Shou was a little confused. He had never heard of anyone using a long whip in battle.

The whip was like a long stick when it was hard, and like a snake when it was soft. It was good against short weapons, especially heavy weapons. After only a few rounds of fighting, Yang Shou was hit by several whips.

One of the whips was so powerful that the leather coat wrapped around the armor was torn into pieces.

"Come here, catch this little bitch alive. She's so fierce. Just give her to my uncle to relieve his loneliness."

"Major General, here we come!"

The guards on both sides knew that Yang Shou liked to fight alone, and the opponent was using a long whip, so it would not be easy to cause fatal injuries, so they patiently guarded around him.

Now, seeing that Yang Shou was showing signs of weakness and calling for their help, they immediately raised their spears and rushed forward.

"Be careful, don't hurt that pretty face like a fox, otherwise it will be worthless when you send it to General Fu."

"She's so beautiful, Yang Fushuai will definitely like her."

"Are you Yang Yuan's people?"

These cavalrymen were stationed by Yang Yuan on the edge of the desert.

Because he was worried that the Western Xia would send out a surprise attack, cross the desert and launch a sneak attack on him.

If he could cross the snow-capped mountains, why couldn’t the Xixia people cross the desert?
As a result, when Gao Shuyao heard them calling him "Fushuai" and then heard his surname Yang, she immediately became suspicious.

"Haha, my uncle is famous in Xixia. Have you heard of him?"

Yang Shou was overjoyed.

"Stop fighting, we are family!"

When Gao Shuyao heard this, she immediately shouted loudly.

Yang Shou and his men patrolled the edge of the desert, and it often took half a day to change shifts.

In order to better protect themselves from the wind and snow, they all wore large fur coats of the Xixia people over their military uniforms and large fur hats on their heads.

So when they first came into contact, Gao Shuyao instinctively thought they were Western Xia soldiers.

Gao Shuyao hurriedly stopped his men and explained the situation to Yang Shou.

It was not convenient for her to tell others about her identity as the Queen of Dali. All that could be said was that she was sent by the special envoys of the Tibetan tribes to contact Yang Yuan, to coordinate the east and west and to attack Western Xia from both sides.

Yang Shou believed it.

The most direct reason is that this woman is too charming, which fits my uncle's identity as a beauty collector and connoisseur.

Then he realized belatedly that there were only more than thirty camels, and there were women among them. It was impossible that the Western Xia army was ambushed.

……

When Yang Shou excitedly took Gao Shuyao and his party to find Yang Yuan, Yang Yuan was receiving the imperial edict.

Yang Yuan was granted the title of Kaifu Yitong Sansi and Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy. Liu Qi, who was standing by, was both surprised and not surprised.

He didn't feel any resentment, as Yang Yuan was worthy of this status.

Liu Qi was filled with emotion.

Wu Jie was granted the title of Grand Master of the Imperial Court and the Envoy of Sichuan, a position he achieved at the age of 46.

Yang Yuan is only thirty years old now.

Afterwards, the two military supervisors met with the commanders Yang Yuan and Liu Qi respectively and took up their posts.

The attitude of these civil servants towards the military officials can be seen from the attitude of the two military supervisors.

When General Jiang faced Liu Qi, he was obviously inferior to him in status, rank and qualifications, but his demeanor and words showed a sense of superiority of a superior.

But it’s different for Han Jianjun.

No matter what he was thinking, when he saw Yang Yuan he smiled before speaking and was very humble.

Given Yang Yuan's current status in the literati community, he didn't have the confidence to challenge Yang Yuan.

Yang Yuan really didn't take him seriously. He thought it was just one more person to share the credit.

Divide it up. Yang Yuan is a little worried that his achievements will become too great for his master.

As for Zhao Yi holding Wu Gong back like she was holding him back...

Yang Yuan never thought about it.

This is the confidence given to him by being the top scholar in the imperial examinations and a great contributor to the emerging Shu school.

The eunuch who delivered the imperial eunuch did not leave in a hurry. It was a rare opportunity for him to send a trusted confidant to the front, so of course he wanted to find out as much as possible.

After all, understanding only from military books and battle reports is too simple.

Yang Yuan could not let the official who delivered the imperial edict leave immediately, so he held a banquet together with the new military supervisor Han Jingbei to entertain the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict. He told him about Xixia's intention to seek peace talks and the situation that the three generals of Sichuan and Xia were facing in Xixia now.

Finally, Yang Yuan requested that the court should quickly send a peace negotiating minister to Shatuo City to meet with the Western Xia Kingdom.

Some things that Yang Yuan was not convenient to say were naturally said by Liu Qi.

While Liu Qi was drinking, he casually said, "Marshal Yang is now powerful in Western Xia, and the Xia people are most afraid of him. If Marshal Yang presides over the negotiations, it will definitely be of great benefit to our Song Dynasty."

Yang Yuan really wanted to fight for the status of peace envoy.

The purpose is not to win another great merit for himself.

But..., he doesn't want to negotiate.

He was a negotiating envoy, so it was easier for him to disrupt the peace talks. Yang Yuan wanted to solve the problem once and for all.

Towards evening, Yang Shou arrived with Gao Shuyao and his party.

Although Yang Shou was honest and straightforward, he still had basic vigilance. It was not until he got confirmation from Yang Yuan that these people were indeed not enemies that he went out and ordered that all the people brought by Gao Shuyao be released and settled down as VIP guests.

In Yang Yuan's central military tent, Yang Yuan was originally soaking his feet. At this moment, there were two pairs of feet in the wooden basin.

One pair is bigger and one pair is smaller.

One pair has darker skin, the other pair is as smooth as jade.

A pair of snow-white feet, as smooth as jade, spread their toes playfully and clamped Yang Yuan's big toe.

While the two of them were soaking their feet, Gao Shuyao had already explained the situation in the Guasha area to Yang Yuan.

"So, you traveled all the way here, across the desert?"

Yang Yuan held Gao Shuyao's soft little hands.

"Yes, I have worked so hard for you, so I must come to ask for credit and reward. How do you plan to thank me?"

Yang Yuan gently pulled with both hands, and Gao Shuyao fell into his arms.

Yang Yuan whispered softly beside Gao Shuyao's little ingot-like earlobe: "Shuyao sent you thousands of miles away~~, Yang Yuan will take care of it~~"

His voice was unclear and I couldn't hear what he said.

The little feet in the basin suddenly clamped tighter, and then there were sounds of playing and water.

……

It seems that after Yang Yuan learned that Western Xia wanted to surrender, he stopped further attacks on the Hetao Plain.

He relied on the Roulang Mountains and Lingdu Mountains to block the only two exits.

However, Wu's army's attack on Liangzhou continued.

This time, Yang Yuan had the command of all the troops fighting in Xia, which was even more legitimate.

Under his arrangement, veteran general Liu Qi led his troops to the foot of Qilian Mountain and joined the expedition on the Hexi Corridor.

Due to the special terrain of Western Xia, after the only two exits were blocked by Yang Yuan, even if the Western Xia Army in the Hexi Corridor wanted to report the news to Xingqing Prefecture, it would not be possible to convey it for a while.

The vast ocean that is hundreds of miles wide is not so easy to cross.

They couldn't move along the edge of the desert like Gao Shuyao.

Because Yang Shou's crazy army has tightly blocked off this area.

However, having learned from previous lessons, even with the addition of Liu Qi's army this time, the two armies were able to advance steadily along the way.

In accordance with Yang Yuan's request, they paid closer attention to the control of the occupied city.

For example, after conquering Liangzhou, they not only stationed troops in the city, but also directly registered the local people and carried out administrative management.

Moreover, although the Western Xia Kingdom was mainly composed of Dangxiang Qiang people, there were also Han people, Tibetans, Uighurs, and a few other ethnic groups.

On the other side of the Hetao Plain, the Dangxiang Qiang people still occupy an absolute advantage in numbers, but the Hexi Corridor area has been an important place on the Silk Road for population movement since ancient times. Therefore, the population of other ethnic groups combined is almost half of the total population of the city.

Under such circumstances, the Song army made use of Han, Tibetan and Uighur people, which naturally strengthened the Song Dynasty's absolute control over these areas.

Now if the Western Xia army besieged the city again, it would be much more difficult for the people in the city to create chaos and cooperate with both inside and outside forces.

Under the pressure of absolute military superiority and after fully transforming Liangzhou, the armies of Wu and Liu continued to advance westward and launched an attack on the Ganzhou area.

Yang Yuan felt that Gao Shuyao had a Tantric identity, and there were many Tibetans on the Silk Road, so he wanted her to help pacify the people.

However, Gao Shuyao flatly refused.

"I won't go. You should work harder and give me a prince first."

At that time, Gao Shuyao was riding on Yang Yuan and spoke fiercely.

After hearing this, Yang Yuan had no choice but to "work hard without waiting for encouragement" and work hard with all his heart.

Although Gao Shuyao is not as good at fighting as Fan Qing, the purpose of the six concubines of Ming Fei was to serve the King of Ming, and there is a charm hidden in her.

Therefore, it can give Yang Yuan a most satisfying feeling.

Seven or eight days later, Han Jing, the military supervisor of the North, realized that there was an alluring woman in Yang Yuan's tent.

Military Supervisor Han finally felt that he had a job to do. He thought that Yang Yuan's inability to share the hardships with the soldiers would damage the morale of the army.

Especially since I heard that the woman didn't seem to be a Han woman, could she be a spy?

Military Supervisor Han decided to use his authority as a military supervisor to severely stop Yang Yuan's absurd behavior.

However, he was blocked by Yang Wanli, the commander of Yang Yuan's guard corps.

After a long talk with Yang Wanli, General Han returned to his tent in a calm mood.

What Yang Tingxiu said makes sense. As long as he wins the battle, I will also gain military merit. How can I hurt the harmony of the central army?
Besides, Yang Yuan is not like those military leaders. Is he so easy to control?

It is better to do less than to do more.

As a result, the central army was in harmony, and the ice in the center of Hulu River that passed through the camp began to melt.

The clear water was flowing under the crystal clear ice.

Gao Shuyao no longer "visited" her "world's best lover".

Because she has.

Of course, men have to stand aside in front of the child. Empress Gao loves this child very much.

She planned to take a car all the way back to Dali via the central Sichuan region.

I don't want to leave at this time because I'm afraid the tire has not yet settled firmly.

At this time, Yang Yuan's subsequent arms, including his heavy artillery, had been transported to the foot of Lingdu Mountain.

The imperial edict appointing Yang Yuan as the peace envoy to negotiate peace with Xixia on behalf of the Song Dynasty finally arrived...

PS: I have to save some updates during the meetings. Some meetings are only half a day, but some are a whole day, so I will update once a day these days.
