After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

On the seventh day of the twelfth month of the first year of Xianyong (the second year of Zhiping in the Song Dynasty), the Liao emperor Yelu Hongji was assassinated while participating in the winter hunt. He was shot by an arrow and his life or death was unknown.

As soon as the news was received, Yelu Liang's subordinates "Long Xijin" were mobilized in full force, firstly to block the spread of the news, and secondly to start a comprehensive investigation and search for the assassin.

In Yelu Liang's sixth sense, the assassin this time was definitely not a killer from Chongyuan's party.

As for who it was, he had some ideas, or rather, in such a situation, it would be best to put the blame on someone.

As a result, before he could take action, Han Ming and Yelu Chongyuan joined forces to add fuel to the fire.

Through the intelligence network of Chongyuan's party, Han Ming completely inserted the "assassin" of the Song Dynasty into the territory of the Liao Dynasty, and then set off a surging intelligence war.

In just a few days, the three kingdoms of Liao, Song and Xia all knew that Yelu Hongji had been assassinated and his life and death were unknown. This made Yelu Liang, who was in charge of intelligence, sweat on his forehead.

The chain reaction caused by Yelu Hongji's assassination began to become uncontrollable.

Many leaders emerged from the Khitan nobles who had been oppressed, exploited and harmed by Yelu Hongji for many years and began to seek political voice.

For a time, the entire Liao Dynasty fell into a situation of out-of-control chaos. Everyone could feel the dark clouds above their heads, which was the prelude to the coming storm.

Due to Yelu Hongji's serious injury, Nabo had to return to Xijin Prefecture in the south.

At the same time, Empress Dowager Xiao Tali in Shangjing received the news and immediately stepped forward to stabilize the various forces in Shangjing City who were ready to make moves.

Among them, Chongyuan's party and Xiao Ala's lineage were the most crazy. They united to force Empress Dowager Xiao Tali to issue an order to abolish Yelu Hongji and support Yelu Chongyuan to take the throne.

This madness extended to the five capitals of the Liao Dynasty. The five capitals were divided into the Liaison Office and the Capital General Administration Office to command the military and state affairs. Some of them were bribed by Chongyuan, and some were originally from Chongyuan's party.

As a result, local chaos began to gradually emerge, and the Liao Dynasty seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

In Xijin Prefecture, Nanjing Road, Liao Dynasty, the situation at this moment has become turbulent. Because Yelu Hongji was seriously injured and unconscious in the palace receiving treatment, all the important officials who were accompanying him gradually had different thoughts.

Xiao Ge and Xiao Tu Guci, who were originally from Chongyuan's party, controlled the entrance and exit of the imperial city, one inside and one outside, making people feel that a huge wave was about to burst out.

Inside the embassy, ​​Han Ming couldn't help but relax his brows as he listened to the intelligence reports from his subordinates. He couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

"Great, great! It's finally getting chaotic!"

Han Ming paced back and forth in the study room with his hands behind his back, somewhat excitedly. The next second, Yong Zeng came in excitedly with someone outside the door.

"My Lord, Xiao Cheng and the others are here!"

Hearing the voice, Han Ming's eyes suddenly lit up and he laughed happily.

"Hahahaha, now everyone is here. I can finally escape from the cage!"

Seeing Han Ming so happy, Cheng Lan also smiled knowingly: "My Lord, I have fulfilled my mission and everything is done."

"Come, come, tell me, where is the Assassin's intelligence network currently located?"

Han Ming took advantage of the chaos in Liao Kingdom and the fact that 'Long Xijin' had completely lost control of the situation. He immediately sent a message to Liang Wenxin and expanded the intelligence of the 'Assassin' organization to the territory of Liao Kingdom.

"Through the assistance of Yelu Chongyuan and Xiao Ala's eldest son, Xiao Bielitan, we have already deployed considerable manpower in the three capitals of Nanjing Xijin Prefecture, Zhongjing Dading Prefecture, and Xijing Datong Prefecture."

"The distance between Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo and Linhuang Prefecture in Shangjing is too far. Lord Liang is also coordinating manpower as quickly as possible to speed up the arrangements."

Cheng Lan told Han Ming the current information in a clear and concise manner, allowing him to make better plans.

"It's done. It's only been a little over half a month since Yelu Hongji was seriously injured. It's quite impressive that he was able to dismantle the protective net of 'Long Xijin' and get in. It seems that Lord Liang is quite capable."

Han Ming was very satisfied with the current result. In the past, the Liao Kingdom was stable, and the intelligence network and hands of "Long Xijin" firmly protected the entire country, so that the "assassin" organization of the Song Dynasty often failed to gather intelligence.

Now, by taking advantage of the chaotic situation, we can infiltrate the enemy and hide there. The future war between Song and Liao will not be so difficult.

"Your Majesty is right. If it weren't for the chaotic situation, I wouldn't be able to enter Xijin Mansion right now!"

Cheng Lan laughed at himself, feeling helpless about his repeated failures in previous battles with 'Long Xijin'.

"As long as this group of 'assassins' can take root in the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty will have an easier time in the future."

"How is it? Can Xijin Prefecture now achieve complete control?"

Han Ming's "complete control" refers to the exploration of intelligence, and Cheng Lan naturally understands the other party's psychology.

"Don't worry, my Lord. Xijin Prefecture is currently at the center of chaos, with all sorts of forces mixed together. Thanks to Yelu Nerugu's help, we were able to stand out and quickly integrate our intelligence network."

Speaking of Nerugu, because he once served as the Privy Councilor of the Southern Court, he came into contact with many military cores.

For this reason, in this cooperation to fuel the flames, he handed over an intelligence network for analyzing the Jin Prefecture in exchange for the support of Han Ming and other Song Dynasty officials as a sign of sincerity.

"Nerugu has no such plans. Chongyuan has a long-term vision. If he wants to completely overthrow Yelu Hongji, he must rely on the help of our Song Dynasty. Otherwise, the general trend will not be on his side."

Han Ming saw the crux of the problem at a glance. Nerugu had the same "superior" mentality as Xiao Tuguci and would not easily join forces with the Song Dynasty.

"My Lord, I have something important to tell you."

Cheng Lan couldn't judge other people's qualifications as casually as Han Ming did, so he immediately took out a small bamboo tube and handed it to the other party.

"Any news about Zhong Huai?" Han Ming asked casually, feeling something in his heart.

"The Marquis is truly a god!" Cheng Lan flattered him neither lightly nor heavily.

"It seems that the day for me to return home is not far away."

Han Ming took out the information and started reading it. After just two glances, he couldn't help but smile.

"It's done! The Imperial Guards have been fully deployed. This way, my mission is successfully accomplished!"

Han Ming chuckled and threw the information into the brazier.

"Where is the Liao army?"

Han Ming's question was a bit nonsensical, but Cheng Lan knew what he meant.

"The advance troops are lingering near Bazhou, while the main force of the central army is stationed in Guiyi City, facing Xiongzhou across the river."

Han Ming rubbed his chin, staring at the flames, and said with a smile: "You said that Yelu Hongji and Yelu Liang thought they could hide their secrets, but they were discovered by me early on. Isn't this too tragic?"

What could Cheng Lan say? He could only smile apologetically while secretly complaining in his heart: People say that Marquis Anyang's heart is like a ghost, and he plans three steps ahead with one step. In fact, he is simply unpredictable, and his every move is completely incomprehensible.

"Yelü Hongji had a good plan. He wanted to delay the delegation and then send troops directly to Song territory. Unfortunately, this marquis loves to play tricks on everyone. Isn't this just walking into a trap?! Hehehe o(*￣︶￣*)o"

Han Ming leaned back on the armchair with some complacency, a smile on his face. He finally won another game against Yelu Hongji. It felt great.

"But, Lord, the situation in the Liao Dynasty is tense right now. Lord Gu and Lord Liang want to know when you will return so they can prepare personnel to meet you."

Cheng Lan thought of another matter for which he came this time, and quickly interrupted Han Ming's imagination of the future.

"Returning home..." Han Ming stared at the dark clouds outside the house, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"How many troops did you bring with you into Xijin Prefecture this time?"

Han Ming's jumping thoughts made Cheng Lan completely unable to keep up. He couldn't help but think for a moment before answering, "About twenty people, entering the city in the name of merchants."

"Well, with Zhou Qian's Imperial Guards... that's enough, the number is almost enough!"

Han Ming clapped his hands, sat up straight, and ordered, "Xiao Cheng, you'll have to work hard. Next, disguise the members of the delegation as members of a merchant caravan and lead them out of Xijin Prefecture and back to China!"

"What is your Majesty doing?" Cheng Lan was a little unsure of Han Ming's thoughts.

"The situation in Liao is chaotic, and there's no telling what might happen. Sending these powerless adults back home first will ensure their safety."

"This crisis is inseparable from me, so I cannot allow the gentlemen of the delegation to accompany me on this adventure."

Han Ming's words made Cheng Lan nod slightly, agreeing with this approach.

"But we can't all just leave. After all, they're a diplomatic mission, so we still need to greet them. Otherwise, it could easily cause diplomatic problems between the two countries."

"Yong Zeng, call Lord He, Lord Du, and Lord Peng here and tell them that I have something important to discuss!"

Han Ming gave Yong Zeng an instruction, then immediately stood up and walked behind the desk, picking up a pen to write something.

"I'll have someone send the message back to the border later. Remember, it's urgent!"

"Yes!" Cheng Lan immediately stood up and answered with a fist.
