An Chongrong is from Shuozhou and has a considerable influence in the northeast of Hebei. At this moment, he gathered among the various sects of Shuozhou: the powerful Shuozhou is not to mention, when he saw An Chongrong, his expression on his face was just his leader; Bai Chengfu was An Chongrong's old friend, and he had received the favor of An Chongrong back then; other rebels gathered from all over the country were originally powerful warriors under Shi Jin**, and rebelled because they did not accept the Khitan rule over northern Jin, and some of them were even An Chongrong's subordinates.

Therefore, Zhe Dezhen spent several months in Dainan. As soon as An Chongrong arrived, he immediately became in a state of distraction!

Not to mention Zhe Deyan, even his subordinates could see this situation. A small school approached Zhe Deyan, with a fierce look in his eyes - this was asking Zhe Deyan whether he wanted to take action. Although Zhe Deyan had a calm face, he seemed to have not heard it.

——————————

An Chongrong also knew that things would not be delayed, and he was afraid that something would change. At noon, a banquet was held in his hometown in Shuozhou, and everyone who could be invited inside and outside Shuozhou was invited. At the banquet, the local tyrants in Shuozhou were naturally sought after. An Chongrong talked about his hometown relatives for a while, talked about old friendship with Bai Chengfu, and talked about some past events with various rebels who had dated. Seeing that the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more popular, Bai Chengfu asked carefully: "Brother An, have you heard that you are in charge of military power at Yanmen Pass? Why are you free to come to Shuozhou? This time I come, I shouldn't just go home, right?"

An Chongrong looked back at Bai Chengfu and smiled and said, "Of course not. This time I came here to express my respects to everyone on behalf of the court."

"The court?"

“Commendation?”

"Does the court still care about us?"

...

The banquet became lively for a while. Some people talked about this and some people talked about that. Zhe Deyan carefully identified it and found that everyone's tone did not seem to be very disgusting with the appearance of the Shi Jin Dynasty.

This time, Zhe Deyan instigated an uprising in northern Shanxi. Bai Chengfu led the Tuyuhun tribe to revolt first, and then Weizhou, Yingzhou and Taihang Mountains to return one after another. Finally, because the powerful Shuozhou rose up, the army entered Shuozhou. Because Shuozhou is the farthest place from Yunzhou in Dai, it is backed by mountains and rivers, and the southeast is backed by Yanmen Pass. If the Khitan army comes, the rebels can rely on the advantage of the territory to fight. Even if the war is not good, there is still a way out for Yanmen Pass to retreat - if Shi Jin is willing to take it in. Not only that, many people shouted last year that they wanted to support Shi Jin.

However, Luoyang's reaction has always seemed quite ambiguous about this uprising in northern Jin. People like An Chongrong, Yao Yuanfu and others have always advocated taking advantage of the situation to fight and directly recover Yunzhou, but how could Shi Jingtang offend the Khitans at this time? Therefore, he could take back Shuo when he opened Yanmen Pass, but Luoyang did not say a word.

However, although he didn't say a word, he did not follow the Khitan's steps to condemn them, as if you were to let you do it. In Shuozhou, the chief person in charge, Zhe De was determined to be Tian Ce, so he naturally didn't want to be incest - wouldn't he have worked hard for Shi Jingtang to make a wedding dress? Bai Chengfu also kept silent about this, so he did not make a move.

Even so, under the leadership of An Chongrong and other veterans who were willing to restore their territory, private assistance was still provided in the pass. Yanmen Pass was opened and closed, and business traveled could not be stopped. This was equivalent to providing material supplements to Shuozhou - this is also the reason why An Chongrong was warmly welcomed as soon as he entered Shuozhou.

——————————

An Chongrong waved his hand to calm everyone down, and then said, "The court has never given up on you. It was a forced expedient plan to borrow Yan Yun to herd the Khitan horses. However, Your Majesty had a plan for this, and the plan to take back Yan Yun was always under the control of Your Majesty. But you didn't expect that you were anxious. Before Your Majesty could start, you had already taken action."

He laughed as he spoke, and the fathers and children of the An family also helped to laugh.

When Zhe Deyan heard An Chongrong's words, he laughed in his heart, but sneered. Shi Jingtang ceded the country, but when An Chongrong's mouth came, the word "borrow" was covered up. Cutting land and "borrowing land" were two different things! Although people all over the world didn't believe in borrowing land, now the Khitan was willing to "repay", so the word "borrowing" was barely reasonable. This is also the reason why An Chongrong dared to come to Shuozhou to surrender. If An Chongrong dared to step into Shuozhou before the Khitan was willing to return Yanyun, if An Chongrong dared to step into Shuozhou on behalf of Shi Jingtang, even if he was the pride of Shuozhou people, his elders would salivate him in front of him.

From here, the Khitan can directly transfer Yanyun is of great significance to Shi Jingtang. This is not only a piece of territory, but also involves the legal surname he has obtained the country's rule.

An Chongrong said again: "Dears, dear elders, brothers, heroes and heroes! You are doing a good job in the rebellion of the Khitan on behalf of others! When you took action, Your Majesty did not formally issue an order, but you did not forget you in your heart. It was just that because you still had a covenant with the Khitan, it was difficult to break your face, but you still had some negotiations with the Khitan in secret. Therefore, the army under Xiao's jurisdiction has not gone south in the past few months, which is something that everyone does not know. As for the fate of our life, we must respond well. Therefore, Yanmen Pass is always open and closed, and business travel is constantly in constant contact. These are what everyone knows. Isn't it?"

Everyone nodded after hearing this. The people who were close to Tiance were already secretly anxious. Zhe Deyan sneered even more. He didn't believe that Shi Jingtang would negotiate with the Khitans for the Shuozhou rebel army. If he did this, he would not be Shi Jingtang!

An Chongrong wanted to continue persuasion, but Zhe Dejian suddenly snuck out: "Uncle An, my nephew wants to ask for a question."

An Chongrong glanced at him, but didn't let him speak, and said, "This is something more important today - according to the agreement between Your Majesty and the Liao Lord Yelu Deguang, the loan period for Shuozhou to lend the Khitan horse to the Khitan has expired, and Shuozhou can return today!"

As soon as these words were said, several young children from the An family jumped up with joy! Cheering "Long live, long live!"

The elders stood up even more tremblingly and were about to bow to Luoyang.

Zhe De said to himself: "This is called '**'!" Some modern words brought by Zhang Mai have now spread among the Tiance Tang army.

Zhe Dejian knew that he could not be polite. Without waiting for several Shuozhou elders to kneel down, he stood up suddenly and shouted: "Shuozhou is affiliated with Shi Jin, I wonder how many days will it take to be affiliated with?"

The elders who were kneeling halfway there, stopped there, very embarrassed.

Bai Chengfu said, "Brother, what do you mean?" His age was enough to be the uncle of Zhe De, who wanted to join Tiance during this period because he needed Zhe De De to join forces with Tiance, so he was only called brothers.

Zhe Dejian said: "What do you say about lending the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan Herding Horse? This is a bullshit to coax a three-year-old child! Shi Jingtang was the emperor of himself, so he led Hu Ma Nan invasion. For this reason, he would not hesitate to split the country. Since ancient times, the shameless person who seeks honor is no match for this surname Shi! Such a person is what emperor? He could sell Yanyun and Shuozhou for his own selfish desires yesterday. He can sell it again tomorrow!"

Now it was An Chongrong's turn to look darker and he shouted: "Boy Zhe, what are you talking about!"

"Nothing? What nonsense do I say?" Although Zhe Deyan was younger, he did not give in at all at this time and said with his head raised: "Shi Jingtang is known to everyone in the world!"

An Chongrong said: "That's just a loan! And the Khitans are willing to pay it back now!"

"Borrow?" Zhe Dezhe smiled and said, "If General Tiance Yingyang had not captured Mobei and was about to attack Linhuang Mansion and scout the Khitans' hometown, it would have forced the Khitans to go to their wits! Otherwise, would the Khitans who had no food or vomiting be returned to the land of the Han family so easily? I dare to say here that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were definitely not lent to the Khitans by Shi Jingtang, but the Khitans used the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as conditions for some ulterior motive purpose!"

An Chongrong's face turned dark: "Boy Zhe, this is Shuozhou, not a prefecture! Some words cannot be said randomly!"

"Talking nonsense?" Zhe Dejian said: "Do you dare to bet with me!"

"What are you betting on!"

Zhe Dezhe said: "I bet that this time the three troops of Shijin went north, and they would not dare to fight with the Khitan, but they might fight with Tiance! To put it bluntly, this time Shi Jingtang continued to collude with the Hu people and wanted to help the Khitans fight against the Tiance Tang army and help Hu attack the Han! Let our own family beat our own family! The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are the price that the Khitans paid to Shi Jingtang!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall was in a thunderous state.

An Chongrong's face was as dark as ink. He refused to say the true agreement between Shi Jingtang and the Khitan in front of all the civil and military officials of the court. However, as a senior general of the Shijin military, An Chongrong naturally had already inferred from all kinds of clues that what Zhe Dezhen said was probably the truth. However, how can he admit it at this time? If he admits it, it would still be Shi Jingtang colluding with foreign countries. The degree of despicability is not much lower than that of ** Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures. Especially for the people of Yanyun, how can he accept the land and land in the home and land, and the ancestral tombs where they are sold and bought back by the emperor?

An Chongrong was actually very dissatisfied with this matter, but at this time, as a minister of Shi Jingtang, he was loyal to the king. Besides, he boasted about Haikou at Yanmen Pass, so he naturally had to stand it and sneered: "You are talking nonsense, do you have any evidence?"

Zhe Dejian said: "Am I talking nonsense? It can be as short as one month or as long as three months, and the matter will be revealed! Uncle An, do you dare to bet with me?"

An Chongrong hesitated slightly, thinking about how to get around, but Zhe Dezhen did not give him time to think, and said, "It seems that you also believe that Shi Jingtang and the Khitan still colluded! So you dare not gamble!"

He turned to everyone and said, "Everyone, everyone! If Ce Yingyang's army has captured the northern part of the Mobei region today, Yelu Deguang was defeated by Tiance Zhang Longxiang last year. If Linhuang Mansion is broken again this time, the Khitan will be in trouble of extermination. Not to mention taking Yan Yun back then, it will be a matter of time. Even if the Khitan is taken away in one fell swoop, it will be no problem! Now the Khitan cannot defend Yan Yun at all. In this case, why do we still need fake Khitans? We should take back the land that Shi Jingtang has thrown away by ourselves? There is no need to let the Khitan use it as a favor, use our Han family's land to buy Emperor Shatuo, and then use the Han army to attack the Han people!"

With a few clangs, several young men surnamed An actually pulled out!

Bai Chengfu and others changed his face. Zhe De took a knife out of the sheath, and said without giving in: "Why, I poked it to the pain point, and I'm going to tear my face? Well, Shi Jingtang wants to help Hu attack the Han, and An Chongrong wants to be accomplices of the tiger, so why don't you kill me from Shuozhou! Even if ** can kill me Zhe De Guan, after death, the one named Zhe is still a hero who defends the country but dies at the hands of **!"

Several young men from An had already rushed towards Zhe De, and several rebels drew their swords to assist Zhe De De, and both sides were about to break out.

Everyone was panicked, and even Bai Chengfu couldn't help but retreat.

An Chongrong shouted suddenly: "Stop!"

The boys were yelled by him and then took two steps back to see him show him.

An Chongrong pointed at Zhe Dejian and said, "Before the Khitans have been killed, you are going to provoke us Han people to kill the Han people themselves?"

Zhe Dejian sneered: "I dare to assert that the Khitans dare not come! Besides, who drew their swords first just now?"

An Chongrong said: "If you hadn't spoken without restraint and pointed to a deer as a horse, how could it arouse the righteous indignation of my Shuozhou children?"

Zhe Dejian said, "If I mean a deer is a horse, why don't you dare to bet with me? If it weren't for your ghost, why should you be afraid of others' criticism?"

An Chongrong had already grasped the whole situation as soon as the banquet was held today, but at this time, he was forced by Zhe De. In Shuozhou City, except for a few loyal people, most of the people became wait-and-see. Since these rebel soldiers gathered for national justice, it was more natural for them to attach the Central Plains to the inner Central Plains, if Shi Jingtang really attacked the Han Dynasty, they would not be willing to follow.

An Chongrong's eyes swept across everyone's faces and thought to himself: "I haven't seen each other for a few years, the boy from the Zhe family has become amazing. He didn't have such a change in this way back then!" He snorted and said: "You want to bet, what bets do you make!"

Everyone was excited when they saw An Chongrong dared to take over.

Zhe Dejian said: "In three months, Shi Jin will definitely help Hu attack the Han Dynasty! If I really talk nonsense, I would like to hook my tongue with an iron hook at the top of Shuozhou city to hang it alive!"

When everyone heard this, they all got goose bumps all over their bodies. How could anyone be so cruel to themselves?

Zhe Deyun, regardless of An Chongrong's expression became darker and darker, and said, "If Shi Jin really helped Hu attack Han within three months, Uncle An, would you dare to go to the ancestral grave to punish yourself to thank the world!"

An elder of the An family said, "Boy Zhe, you have a good plan. With your life, you can compare with General An?"

In the lobby, someone suddenly boasted, but they were all people who were good friends with Zhe Delian. In the past few months, Zhe Delian has devoted all his efforts to fight against Hu's cause. Anyone with a little heart admires him. Therefore, although he is young, he is already very popular. If it weren't for his lack of prestige, even An Chongrong would not have easily entered Shuozhou.

Zhe Dejian said, "Okay! Uncle An is of great importance. My life cannot resist yours, so it is worth your eyeballs. If you lose, it is like having eyes but not having eyes and the wrong master. It is not too much to ask for you!"

An Chongrong laughed and said, "If I bet with you, it would be a sensation of your identity. If I don't bet with you, I will feel guilty. Well, I have bet!"

Several Shuozhou elders hurriedly shouted: "General, no!"

A young man surnamed An jumped out and said, "You are worthy of betting on my uncle? I'll bet on your life!"

An Chongrong waved his hand and said, "Get back!" and Zhe De said, "I bet with you because I am open-minded and not afraid. But since I am ordered by the imperial army to entrust Shuozhou, this matter is related to the general trend of the country, and you can't just get around with a bet! Boy, I have a relationship with your father and I don't want to keep you in trouble, so you can withdraw from Shuozhou. Don't kill each other and end up with the Han people."

Zhe Dejian said: "If I withdraw and Shi Jin obtains Shuozhou, he can enter Chilechuan to attack the sweat-blooded cavalry regiment stationed there by the Tang army in Tiance. What if you are as shameless as Shi Jingtang and do not fulfill the bet, what should I do to you?"

Speaking of this, he said every word, but you and me didn't even call him uncle.

An Chongrong said angrily: "I am not such a person! Don't judge a gentleman's ambition with a villain!"

Zhe Deyuan smiled and said, "Even if he is a villain, General An may not be a gentleman. It is better to be careful of some things. The so-called saying nothing is reliable. Just a bet requires me to give up Shuozhou. I really regard me as a three-year-old child."

An Chongrong said: "How are you going?"

Zhe Dejian said: "You and I will withdraw from Shuozhou. Within three months, Shuozhou will be autonomous. If you win, Shuozhou will be affiliated. If I win, I will still come back to Shuozhou and fight against the Khitan with all the rebels. We will definitely not let Shuozhou fall into the hands of those who are friends with Hu and those who are accomplices of the tiger!"

When everyone heard this, they thought to themselves: "This is good." This is to maintain the status quo, which will give everyone more time to consider choices. And with this promise, once the Khitan attacks Shuozhou, Xue Fu can be asked for help from the northwest and Yanmen can be asked for help from the southwest. This is a perfect solution for the rebels gathered in Shuozhou.

They looked at An Chongrong together, and it depends on his decision.

An Chongrong is such a veteran person. He knew their feelings at the sight of everyone. He laughed and said, "Okay, I promised you, but I can't do it as you said. Shuozhou must change its flag, but I promise that within three months, the imperial army will not enter Shuozhou City."

Zhe Dejian said: "Why don't you enter the city, not the country?"

An Chongrong said: "The imperial court is going to take back this time not only Shuozhou, but also fifteen other prefectures. The northeast of Yanmenguan is Shuozhou and the north north is Yingzhou. This is the only way to go north to Yunzhou. Within three months, our army will definitely go north. How can we be limited by you and miss the national affairs?"

Zhe Dejian said, "Okay! Although I will never believe in Shi Jingtang, your Uncle An has not yet fallen into decline. I am willing to believe in you once. May you keep your promise, otherwise all the heroes in the world will be eyed and will not make people lose their promises!"

The two of them swear by the rebels in front of the rebels.

——————————

The banquet started with joyful and laughter, but ended with a heavy mood. After everyone left, several An family confidants stayed behind, and a young man said, "Uncle, why do you want to bet with him!"

An Chongrong said, "If you don't bet with him, you have to kill me just now! Although this place is our place, our An family in Shuozhou cannot cover the sky with one hand, let alone Tuyuhun and various rebels are watching. The boy Zhe Dejian has been in business for so long, and it is hard to say what their position would be. Besides, Shuozhou is the hometown of my parents, so how can I open the killing here?"

He ordered the fathers and children to try to take over Shuozhou. An old man from An said, "Chongrong, do you want to go back? Don't leave Shuozhou."

An Chongrong said: "It's useless for me to stay here! Besides, I have to go back to Yanmen Pass to stay by my side. It's not unreasonable for the boy Zhe to worry, but I can't let it happen!"

——————————

Zhe De left the An family over there, and a young man stepped forward and said, "Why didn't you kill An Chongrong just now!"
