Han Bing scolded, and raised his hand to hit Yang Peng. Yang Peng caught Han Bing's slender hand, put it to his lips and kissed it lightly. Han Bing only felt his heart rippling, he didn't dare to look at Han Bing, he lowered his head, and his heart was beating straight. Yang Peng smiled and said: "When this war is over, I will marry you!" Han Bing's heart was extremely confused, with a deep sense of joy, but he felt that he shouldn't marry him, "I, I don't know ......"

"Don't, it's all come to this point, and I don't know yet! I don't care, anyway, this time I'm going to marry you even if I tie you up! "Yang Peng is a bit of a scoundrel and a little domineering.

Han Bing glared at Yang Peng and said angrily: "Isn't this a villain!" Hmph, the dignified King Yan actually robbed the people's daughter! Yang Peng looked at Han Bing's eyes and said affectionately: "For you, what is this fame!" Han Bing's eyes trembled, and he really wanted to throw himself into his arms, but in the end he held back. frowned and shook his head, but Yang Peng understood what she meant.

"I will invite the best Taoist priests and mages to do a grand ceremony for my brother-in-law! I think he'll approve of our marriage too! ”

Han Bing looked at Yang Peng blankly, finally sighed, and said helplessly: "You are really my nemesis!" Yang Peng was overjoyed when he saw that she finally agreed, hugged Han Bing, kissed the delicate red lips, and only let go of Han Bing when he was about to lose his breath, and took her hand and ran to the side of the hill and shouted: "Han Bing has agreed to be my lady!" "A loud voice was heard from afar, and the whole barracks heard it. Han Bing was so ashamed that he almost wanted to find a hole to get into, so he hit Yang Peng's arm and said angrily: "Don't scream, I'm ashamed!" Yang Peng laughed.

When the people in the big tent heard Yang Peng's shout, they were all stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help laughing. Yang Jiumei let out a long breath, but Yang Erya lowered her head and looked worried, Yang Jing said with a strange expression: "Isn't General Han Bing angry, how could he agree to marry the eldest brother again?" Yang Dezheng next to him joked: "You will never understand this kind of thing!" Yang Jing grinned, "I don't hurt that brain!" But I know that there is another happy wine to drink! The crowd laughed.

Yang Peng sat under the small tree with Han Bing in his arms, talking about the scenes since the two met, the two hearts were tightly together, and they never wanted to be separated. Han Bing leaned into Yang Jing's arms and said, "Actually, my brother is not my biological brother. ”

Yang Peng was surprised, only to hear Han Bing continue: "I am not my father's mother's biological daughter, I was adopted by them. But they treated me as if they were their own and treated me very well, and my brother treated me very well. Yang Peng didn't know what to say. Han Bing raised his head and looked at Yang Peng's face, "Big brother, I think it......" Yang Peng's eyes widened, "What has already been decided, you are not allowed to go back!" Seeing Yang Peng so nervous, Han Bing couldn't help but smile, looked at Yang Peng with beautiful eyes, and said very happily: "I'm so happy to see my eldest brother like this!" Immediately, her beautiful eyes revealed watery tenderness, and she said in a soft but firm voice: "In this life, I will not regret it!" Even if my eldest brother doesn't want me in the future, I will admit it! ”

Yang Peng was happy in his heart, and kissed Han Bing's red lips, "Say stupid things, it's too late to love you, how can I not want you!" ”

Han Bing looked at Yang Peng stupidly, and then said angrily: "I was interrupted by you, and I forgot what I wanted to say!" Yang Peng smiled and asked, "What do you want to say?" Han Bing was a little embarrassed, and then begged: "Big brother, my request may make it difficult for you, but it is the only way to compensate my brother and adoptive parents, I hope that my eldest brother can agree to me!" Yang Peng nodded without thinking about it: "No problem, no matter what it is, I will agree." Han Bing blushed and said, "I hope that the child I have with my eldest brother in the future will have a surname Han." ”

Yang Peng laughed, "That's it!" I thought it was a big deal! Okay, no problem, in the future, our children will all be surnamed Han! Han Bing was very moved, she felt that her eldest brother really loved her too much, otherwise she would never have made such a big sacrifice, and in her excitement, she threw herself into Yang Peng's arms, hugged Yang Peng's tiger waist tightly, and wanted to completely integrate her body into her eldest brother's body. In this matter, Han Bing was a little misunderstood, it is true that Yang Peng really loves her very much and can do anything for her, but as far as the child's name is concerned, it is not a matter for Yang Peng at all, he is not pedantic, but from an open-minded person, and he doesn't care at all about the child's surname.

Yang Peng said in Han Bing's ear: "Otherwise, let's go into the cave room tonight!" Han Bing raised his head from Yang Peng's arms and said with a delicate flush: "Why do you always think about this? Yang Peng smiled: "If you love your wife, you naturally want to be intimate with your wife, isn't this a normal thing?" Could it be that Han Bing, you don't want to make love with me! ”

Han Bing was embarrassed, raised his fist and hit Yang Peng's chest, and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, shame to death!" Yang Peng smiled, hugged Han Bing's slender waist and kissed her red lips. Han Bingfang's heart fluttered, and she suddenly remembered something, and her brows furrowed slightly, "Tell me honestly, do you also have thoughts about that princess of the Liao Kingdom?" ”

The proud, wild and beautiful face of Ya Yu Guanyin couldn't help but appear in front of Yang Peng's eyes, Yang Peng sighed, "I'm afraid it's impossible between me and her!" Han Bing snorted, "You guy, you are really merciful!" Then he said helplessly: "Who called you so good, women are fascinated by you and can't extricate themselves!" The beautiful eyes glared at Chen Xiao, "It is said that the red face is in trouble, as if it is a woman who harms people, but in fact, men are much more powerful than women when they harm people!" There is only one key harm for women, but one harm for men is a big piece! ”

Yang Peng touched his nose and said with a smile: "Han Bing, is this a compliment to me?" Han Bing glanced at Yang Peng, "Whatever you think!" ”

The two talked for a long time before leaving the hill and returning to the big tent. Han Bing saw that everyone was looking at him with burning eyes, and he became very uneasy, and his delicate face couldn't help but turn red. Where have everyone seen the majestic General Han showing such a girlish and shy demeanor, and they were all stunned for a while. Han Bingyu was extremely ashamed, and couldn't help but get angry, and shouted: "What do you see, don't you know General Ben?" ”

Everyone came back to their senses and laughed, Yang Jing shook his head and said, "I thought General Han Bing had changed, but I didn't expect it to be so fierce!" ”

Han Bingtong glared at Yang Peng with a red face, and then her eyes showed a look of gratitude, because she heard Yang Jing and everyone arguing outside the big tent before, and knew that if there was no Yang Jing's trouble, she and her eldest brother really didn't know how long it would drag on, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to make up her mind, speaking of which, Yang Jing could be said to be the matchmaker between her and her eldest brother!

Yang Jiumei walked up to Han Bing, held her hand, and smiled, "Welcome!" Han Bing's face turned red, and Ying Ying bowed: "Han Bing meets my sister!" "Although Han Bing is higher than Yang Jiumei in terms of position, but at home, the first to enter is the biggest, and Han Bing should call her sister.

Yang Dezheng glanced at everyone, and everyone understood, and quietly left the big tent. Yang Dezheng saw that Yang Jing was still standing there stupidly watching the play, so he was amused in his heart and dragged him away.

Turning his attention to Taiyuan, Zhang Xiaochun dispelled the idea of surrendering to the Khitans again as soon as he learned the battle report from the front. When he returned home, he informed his wife Yubaoer of the battle situation ahead, and said with some emotion: "I didn't expect that Ya Yu Guanyin's large-scale counterattack would be in vain!" Yu Bao'er pondered: "This time Ya Yu Guanyin failed to succeed, it does not mean that next time will not succeed!" ”

Zhang Xiaochun nodded, "What Madame said is extremely true!" Then he frowned and said: "Although Yan Yun can be said to have won a big victory this time, he has completely turned his face with Song Guo, and it is difficult to say whether he will be as lucky as this time next time!" If Song Guo re-activated famous generals such as Liu Kuang, the Cao brothers, and Gao Hu, Yan Yunjun was afraid that it would not be as easy as this time! Yu Bao'er smiled: "It doesn't matter who wins or loses, let's just take refuge in the winner anyway!" Zhang Xiaochun said with a smile: "Madame's words can be described as a wise saying!" ”

At the same time, there was a panic in Bianjing City. Not long ago, most people were still rejoicing at the victory achieved by Wang Shi, but they did not expect that after a short time, the news of the fiasco came one after another, after the fall of Gwangju and Huangzhou, Jizhou, Shuzhou, and Zhenzhou also fell one after another, and Wang Shi's army was defeated like a mountain, and there was almost no ability to resist! Gao Hu in Jiangbei is already planning to give up all the land in Huainan, and he sees that Yan Yunjun is about to kill the Yangtze River!

There was chaos in the court, whether it was the emperor or the minister, they didn't have the invincible momentum they had before, like a frightened bird, afraid and at a loss.

"How's that for good? How good is that? The Emperor said in a panic.

The ministers looked at each other, and no one could answer. Wang Qinruo came out and said: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry too much, as long as the Liao people invade Henan, the Yanyun army must withdraw!" "At this time, the Song court is still ignorant of the war in the north! After listening to Wang Qinruo's words, all the ministers echoed it, saying that as long as the Khitan people win, they could sit back and relax. When Zhenzong heard everyone say this, his originally panicked mood calmed down a lot, and he regained some of his imperial bearing.

Wang Qinruo said: "Your Majesty, Gao Hu should be strictly ordered not to retreat without authorization, and if he retreats again, he will be dealt with by military law!" At the same time, send envoys to the Khitan side, begging them to quickly defeat the Yanyun army! ”

Zhao Heng felt that it was necessary to rely on the Khitans, but he was hesitant to let Gao Hu stick to Huainan, he felt that Gao Hu's army would definitely not be able to resist Yan Yun's army, so it was better to retreat early and reduce losses. Wang Qinruo saw Zhao Heng hesitating, and thought that he didn't want to ask the Khitans for help, so he couldn't help but feel strange, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, using the power of the Khitans to solve the crisis in front of us will not damage Your Majesty's prestige!" ”

Zhao Heng shook his head, "Aiqing misunderstood, I wasn't thinking about asking the Khitans for help, I have no opinion on this matter, I just feel that the Gao Hu army should not stay in Jiangbei." There was a look of fear on his face, "That Yanyun army is even more terrifying than the Khitan army, if Gao Hu's hundreds of thousands of troops don't withdraw, I'm afraid that the whole army will be wiped out!" At that time, our garrison in Bianjing will not be enough! ”

Wang Qinruo was now bent on getting the Song army and the Yan Yun army to fight in order to contain Yan Yun for the Khitans, so he said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true! However, this retreat is only afraid of the consequences of unimaginable! Although the situation of our army is unfavorable now, after all, it is still resisting, and the fighting spirit is still there, but once the army is withdrawn, the morale will inevitably collapse, and at that time the Yanyun army will cross the river with the trend, but it will really be unstoppable, and at that time, the land in the south of the Yangtze River will sink, how will Your Majesty deal with himself? ”

Zhao Heng couldn't help but change color when he heard this. Sun Jin, Wang Zhong, Ni Chengmou and others echoed one after another. Zhao Heng nodded, "What Aiqing said is extremely true, I almost made a big mistake!" He glanced up at Wang Qinruo, "Just according to what Aiqing said!" Wang Qinruo was overjoyed and hugged his fists; Your Majesty is wise! Then he asked: "Your Majesty, now the situation is extremely urgent, Your Majesty should be the royal driver and sit in Xuzhou to boost morale!" I believe that as long as Your Majesty arrives in Xuzhou, the front-line soldiers will be greatly encouraged, and the desperate bloody battle with the Yanyun Army will definitely ensure that half of our Great Song Dynasty is safe and sound! Zhao Heng was a little hesitant and let him go to the front line in person, this matter really made his heart beat a drum.

"Rong Zhen thinks about this matter!" The emperor was clearly perfunctory.

Wang Qinruo allowed the emperor to be perfunctory, and said urgently: "Your Majesty, now the situation is extremely urgent, if Your Majesty is unwilling to fight in person, I am afraid that the front-line soldiers have no intention of fighting, and they will really be killed by Yan Yunjun!" ”

Zhao Heng was shocked, and said very reluctantly: "Then, the widow will take the expedition in person!" Wang Qinruo was overjoyed and shouted His Majesty's wisdom. However, at this time, Zhao Heng's expression was as if he was going to the execution ground, and he was extremely miserable.

In the tavern teahouse in Bianjing, people are worried, and they are also very angry, they feel that Yang Peng, as a courtier, actually dares to attack the imperial army and seize the prefectures and counties of the imperial court, which is clearly a blatant rebellion, and the words are very intense, and some people are simply eager to eat Yang Peng's flesh and sleep on Yang Peng's skin! The views of these people basically represent the hearts of the people in the entire Bianjing, and an atmosphere of common hatred and hatred similar to that of the previous resistance to the Khitan army has gradually formed!

It is said that Zhao Heng drove his own expedition in desperation, and more than 100,000 escorted the emperor's Luan to Xuzhou Mansion, and Zhao Heng's heart was up and down along the way, and he was quite unstable. Only one day after leaving Bianjing, the team arrived in Xuzhou, and an urgent report came from the north. The urgent report said that the generalissimo of the Khitan army, Ye Hugo, had been defeated, and the Yanyun army occupied the entire Shanxi, because the ancient times were not like modern times, and the transmission of the message was very difficult, so the Zhao Song side only got this message at this moment.

Zhao Heng and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu expected the Khitans to defeat Yan Yun, and they would reap the benefits of the fishermen, but they didn't expect such a bad news to come! For a while, the emperor and the ministers were so flustered that they had no idea, even Wang Qinruo was no exception.

"How is it good? How is it good? I expected the Khitans to defeat the Yanyun army, but I didn't expect that they would have lost the entire Shanxi by a big defeat! It seems that Yan Yunjun is invincible! We, let's run away! The Emperor said in a panic.

Wang Qinruo didn't know how to answer, and thought: The Khitans have been defeated, if they continue to fight against Yan Yun, they are afraid that they will kill themselves by hitting the stones, so why not ask Yan Yun for peace? In this way, at least I can keep my wealth!

As soon as he thought of this, he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it is better to seek peace now!" The ministers chimed in.

The emperor's eyes lit up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and he said urgently: "Yes, yes, yes, send an envoy to ask for peace, quickly send an envoy to ask for peace!" As long as King Yan is willing to quit the army, I can agree to any conditions! My sister is his princess, and she is still a family member, so I guess he won't be too embarrassed by me! Hurriedly looked at Wang Qinruo, "Qin Aiqing, you can quickly choose a suitable person to elect Yanjing!" Wang Qinruo thought for a while, clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty, that Kou Zhun used to be Yang Peng's boss and was the best candidate for the envoy!" When the emperor thought of this person, he also felt that he was the best candidate, and nodded: "Okay, this person is the most suitable, quickly summon him to Xingzai!" Wang Qinruo promised.

Turning his gaze to Jiangbei, Duan Zhixian was preparing to divide his troops with Cheng Shijie, Huyan Bixian, Chen Jie, and Xiao Luli to attack Wuwei Army, Hezhou, and Zhenzhou, but at this moment, Yang Peng's order arrived, ordering them to stop attacking immediately, rest on the spot, and not move their troops, and not to attack rashly without an order.

Yang Peng pondered: "What you said also makes sense! He waved his hand, "Forget it, don't think about it!" Even if it's really hate, then I'll bear it, no one hates anyone in this life! He stood up, "Go, go back!" The two men descended the steps, and a female guard and a secret guard immediately led their horses to meet them. The two of them turned over and got on their horses, and the other secret guards and Feifengwei also stepped on their horses, and then dozens of people galloped towards Bingzhou City.

Along the way, the originally barren field turned into a green field, full of wheat seedlings sown not long ago, the breeze blowing, only to see green ripples, the air is filled with the unique fragrance of grass seedlings; Cattle and farmers were working in the fields, and in the distance, a few young farmers gathered on the grass at the edge of the fields, playing dice and laughter.

When the group entered the city, the wide streets were bustling with pedestrians, and although they were not as prosperous as they were before the great chaos, they had already recovered a lot; The shops on both sides were open, and many of the businessmen who had fled to the south returned, and everyone had a smile of hope on their faces; In the distance, houses that had been destroyed in the chaos of the war are being rebuilt. In the sun, the historic city is given a new lease of life.

Yang Peng returned to his temporary station, Li Mubai and Han Bing, who had been waiting for a while, immediately greeted him, Han Bing's delicate face was slightly red, and it seemed a little unnatural to call Yang Peng.

Yang Peng looked at Han Bing and smiled, and said to the two, "No need to be polite!" Then he casually walked over to a chair and sat down.

Li Mubai first submitted a report, "King Yan, this is the current situation in Shanxi, please take a look!" ”

Yang Peng took the report and read it carefully. Li Mubai is worthy of being a good hand at handling internal affairs, all matters are clearly organized, and earth-shaking changes have taken place in just a few months: first of all, the population, due to the social stability, the economy began to recover, and the people who originally fled to the south have returned to their hometowns, although the population has not yet recovered to the level of the early Song Zhenzong, but it has also recovered six or seven years, which is obvious, the suburbs that were originally deserted and did not hear the roosters and dogs barking are now gradually lively, The streets are gradually becoming bustling; The second is the economy, due to the continuous wars caused by the invasion of the Khitans, Shanxi, which was originally very rich in the hinterland of the Central Plains, the economy almost collapsed, but since the Yanyun regained Shanxi, the introduction of various policies and the Yanyun army with a large number of seizures for Shanxi blood transfusion, the economy has been able to recover rapidly, and now the economy has recovered at least to about fifty percent of the Song Taizong period, which is a very remarkable achievement.

After reading the report, Yang Peng nodded, put the report on the small table in his hand, and said to Li Mubai with a smile: "Isn't this a good job?" I resisted like that before! Li Mubai smiled a little embarrassedly.

Yang Peng asked: "What do you think about the development of Shanxi?" ”

Li Mubai immediately said: "The subordinates are about to report to the lord. Yang Peng listened. Li Mubai continued: "The foundation of the development of a place is agriculture, which has almost recovered, but in order to make people's livelihood prosperous, it is necessary to develop handicrafts and trade. This place in Shanxi has many special products since ancient times, needless to say, those mountain treasures are not to mention, and all kinds of exquisite porcelain are well-known in the world, such as the porcelain produced by Jun kiln. However, due to the destruction of the war in these years, the kiln has been dilapidated, and there is now little left of the kiln mouths that were originally dotted around, and these should be restored as soon as possible, which plays an immeasurable role in the development of the local economy! ”

Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully.

"On the other hand, it is to activate the market and develop trade. Henan is located in the Central Plains, extending in all directions, convenient transportation, can be said to be the transportation hub of the east to the west, the south to the north, so the development of trade has a unique advantage. In order for trade to develop, there are not many tricks, just one word 'tong', so his subordinates believe that those wartime control measures should be abolished in Shanxi as soon as possible, so that trade can be smooth! In addition, it is best to follow the example of the sixteen states of Hebei and Yanyun and cancel or reduce tariffs to promote trade! ”

Yang Peng raised his head and said with a smile: "Your suggestions are very good, they are all to the point!" I don't interfere with the specifics, just do it according to your own ideas! ”

Li Mubai was very happy and hugged his fists and promised. He was reluctant to enter the official career in the past, of course, because he was not used to the decay of officialdom, but the more important reason was that he felt that no king would give him the power to play completely independently, but now he didn't think so, Yang Peng gave him a degree of freedom that he couldn't even think of, and he had a sense of pleasure like a fish in water.

"King Yan, there is another request from my subordinates!" Li Mubai said.

Yang Peng smiled and nodded, "Say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you!" ”

Li Mubai was moved, and felt that being able to follow such a master was really a blessing from his previous life! "King Yan, there is still a lack of funds in the hands of his subordinates, and many things cannot be carried out yet, so I hope that the lord will allocate another million taels of silver to his subordinates!" "Okay, I'll take care of this!"

"There is another thing," frowned, "the officials here are all those old fritters who have gone through the Song, Liao, and pseudo-Han dynasties, and then defected to us!" There are more than enough failures, all of them are full of authority, but they are often bullshit! What is even more serious is that these people have developed a habit of perverting the law for bribes, and although they have been slightly restrained by the supervision of supervision officials, they cannot fundamentally change this. The subordinates hope that King Yan can give his subordinates a group of talents with both ability and political integrity, so as to gradually replace these officials, so as to change the officialdom here! ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "I am also thinking about this matter, and I plan to transfer one hundred and fifty people to you among the hundreds of people who are currently being trained in the official academy of Tianjing New Town." ”

Li Mubai was overjoyed, "That's great!" With these one hundred and fifty people, my things are much better. ”

By the way, here's a hint of it. In addition to the schools that are similar to primary and secondary schools that specifically recruit minors, there is also a kind of school that only trains adults, which is the main channel for Yang Peng to provide talents for governments at all levels. In this kind of academy, a considerable number of them are soldiers who are disabled but aspiring to continue to serve Yan Yun, and there are also some poor students, in addition to these people, there are also those who have passed the special test and entered the academy.

This kind of test is a bit similar to the imperial examination, but it is very different, the similarity is that anyone can participate in the test, the difference is that the content of the test has almost nothing to do with the Four Books and Five Classics, only two aspects are examined, one is actual ability, and the other is moral reputation, and the comprehensive score can enter the school after passing the passing line. After passing the test, it is not possible to immediately go to the government to serve, but also to go through different trainings, and then after passing the final test, it can be regarded as a reserve talent, and will be sent to various places at any time.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
