Chapter 400. Providence so

The royal family members and army officers and soldiers who escaped by accident fled into Helan Mountain in panic, panicking like a lost dog and anxious like a fish that has slipped through the net. The crowd was frightened and wanted to take a break. However, before the butt sat down, there was a rumbling sound of horses' hooves and the heart-rending shouts of the Xixia people behind him: "Oh no, Yanyun people are here!" Dao Chong and the others were startled, and hurriedly looked behind, only to see the black Yanyun war horse rushing in from the entrance of the valley like a black tide, killing his own soldiers and civilians, and his own soldiers and civilians rushed backwards in fear, like another tide stirred by the black tide.

He didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly turned over and got on his horse, ignoring everything and not caring about it, and continued to flee for his life along the valley. Behind him were the sound of rumbling footsteps and horses' hooves, and the heart-rending shouts and cries, and I felt as if I was in a terrible nightmare.

Hu Dao Chong and others fled for their lives in front, and Zhan Jin led the Xuanjia Army to rush behind, and the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, and Hu Dao Chong and others seemed to be in a catastrophe. However, at this moment, everyone suddenly heard a dull thunderous noise overhead, and they were surprised and couldn't help but look up. I saw that the snow-capped mountain top shook one after another, and then the snow piled up on the top of the mountain poured from the top of the mountain like a torrent.

Everyone was shocked, and Dao Chong and the others were just in the direction of the avalanche impact, all of them were so frightened that their faces were colorless, and they involuntarily waved the horse's reins desperately and whipped the horse's buttocks, and for a moment the rapid and panicked whipping and shouting sounded, and the horse was even more crazy and jumped wildly and ran forward; And Zhan Jin Guo reined in his horse suddenly, and at the same time raised his spear and ordered the army to stop, and the two thousand Xuanjia troops quickly stopped.

In the blink of an eye, the snow-covered torrent rushed into the valley from both sides, and for a moment the white mist was filled, the sky and the earth were vast, and the mountains shook, making a loud rumbling sound. The loud noise gradually died down, and the white mist slowly dispersed. The valley in front of him no longer exists, and the snow dozens of feet high completely fills the valley in front of him!

Seeing this situation in front of him, Zhan Jinguo frowned, knowing that he couldn't chase anymore, turned his horse's head, and raised his voice: "Go back!" Then he led his Xuanjia army to return the same way.

On the other side of the avalanche, the frightened people fell to their knees and sincerely thanked the gods of heaven and earth for their miracles that saved them at their most critical moment! Everyone believed that this was the grace of God, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that such an astonishing avalanche occurred when they were being chased by Yan Yunjun and had no way to enter the earth, and it happened to block the path pursued by Yan Yunjun?

Hui Daochong collected his excitement, turned his head to look at the people around him, and found that there were only tens of thousands of people left from the original nearly 200,000 people! I can't help but feel sad from the heart.

Ye Lirong, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, ran to Dao Chong and said with a frightened face: "My lord, it's not good, Your Majesty, Niangniang, and most of the royal family members have not escaped, and they must have been captured by Yan Yunjun!" "Yu Daochong was taken aback, but then he thought about it: 'Anyway, there are still members of the royal family, and when I get to Xiliang Mansion, I will appoint another royal family member as the emperor, and it is better to have no Niangniang, I can be in power and control the world alone!' As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but lift his spirits, and said to Ye Lirong: "Gather everyone and continue on the road, we are not out of danger yet!" Ye Li Rong answered, ran down, shouted loudly, and the frightened people packed up their mood and what was left of their bags, and continued on their way. They will cross the Helan Mountains through this valley, and then they will go south along the edge of the Tengger Desert, reach the banks of the Yellow River, turn west, and go west along the southern edge of the Tengger Desert, and then walk another 300 miles to reach Xiliangfu. Everyone was full of hope, thinking that as long as they arrived in Xiliang Mansion, everything would be fine.

Look back.

On the official road wilderness from Xingqing Mansion to Helan Mountain in the west, more than 100,000 people are advancing to Helan Mountain, just like a herd of migrating takin, the scene is very huge, they are the Xixia people who were left behind by the brigade, and they also want to flee to Xiliang Mansion. In their imagination, Xingqing Mansion is about to become a hell of blood and fire, and only Xiliang Mansion is the place where they can live in peace.

There was a sudden commotion in front, and the people behind felt very strange when they saw this scene, and they stopped and watched, only to see that many people in front of them were still running back with sergeants, and everyone looked terrified, and at the same time heard someone shouting: "Oh no, no good!" The Yan Yun Army appeared in front of him, and his Majesty and the army were defeated!! When the people behind saw such a scene and heard such a shout, they became frightened, and when they saw the people in front of them running down, they also subconsciously turned around and ran, without any purpose, but subconsciously ran with the crowd. In the wilderness, hundreds of people were seen running around like headless flies, and the atmosphere of panic and chaos permeated the heavens and the earth.

At the same time that Yang Peng led the war cavalry to raid the Western Xia royal family, Yelu Hanyu led an army of more than 200,000 to the city of Xingqing Mansion. Li Tongren and the officers and soldiers defending the city saw that the Yanyun army was in full swing and murderous, and they couldn't help but be terrified.

Yelu Hanyu immediately looked at the city under the king's banner, and saw that the enemy army was depressed and had no momentum, so he judged that it was a good opportunity to attack the city, and immediately passed down the order, ordering the front army of the direct legion to attack the north city gate, the front army of the seventh army to attack the west city gate, the left army of the seventh army to attack the east city gate, and the rest of the soldiers and horses to press the formation, and the cavalry to spill out on all sides to prevent the enemy from escaping.

As soon as the order was given, Yan Yun's army immediately acted, and in the roar of war drums, I saw Yan Yun's tiger wolf storming the city from three sides, and in a blink of an eye, he climbed the city wall on three sides. The Yanyun army, who climbed the city wall, entered the panicked Xixia army, wielded his blade, and killed fiercely, killing the corpses of the Xixia army and crying wolf, the Xixia army couldn't plug the gap at all, but kept retreating under the fierce attack of the Yanyun army, and the gap expanded rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

From the beginning of Yan Yunjun's siege of the city, in less than half an hour, the three city walls were in danger.

At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from under the North City Gate, and in the midst of the smoke and flames, the heavy city gate collapsed, and it turned out that Yan Yun's military gunpowder exploded the North City Gate! Immediately, Yang Jing led thousands of Mo sword troops through the smoke and dust in the sky and poured into the city gate first, and thousands of Western Xia soldiers rushed up to try to fight back. Yang Jing saw this scene, excited, screaming and waving a pair of board axes to rush into the enemy group, only to see the plate axes flying up and down, the blood flying in the sky reflected Yang Jing's fierce and crazy face, particularly thrilling, the soldiers of the Mo Dao Army were also like tigers into the flock, the whistling and flying knife light tore the enemy's body into pieces, and the flesh and blood flew sideways!

Seeing that the Yanyun army was so fierce, the Western Xia army was so frightened that they scattered as birds and beasts, and Yang Jing led the Modao army to seize the city gate in one fell swoop. At the same time, the east and west gates were also captured by the Yanyun army one after another, the fighting spirit of the soldiers of the Western Xia army was completely lost, and they fled in a hurry, and the Yanyun army attacked the city, and the killing sound shook the sky; The banner of Western Xia fell from the city gate tower, and Yan Yun's two-winged flying tiger battle flag rose high.

Li Tongren sat in the lobby of the official office, holding a glass of poisonous wine in his hand, his eyes staring at the poisonous wine, his face was pale, and his hands holding the wine glass kept trembling. At this time, there were many thrilling shouts of the Yan Yun army in all directions, and it seemed that the entire city was occupied by the Yan Yun army.

The city defense general stumbled and ran in despair, knelt down with a thud, and said anxiously: "My lord, Yan Yunjun, Mrs. is amazing, they, they have already attacked the city!" ”

Li Tongren was shocked, and said in a trembling voice: "No, don't be afraid!" Now is the time for us to die for Great Xia! Before he could finish speaking, there was a loud bang at the gate. Li Tongren was startled, his hand shook, and a glass of poisoned wine fell to the ground, choking. Li Tongren looked up and looked outside, only to see a black-faced general with an extremely fierce face, carrying two blood-dripping plate axes leading a group of heavily armored warriors to rush in with murderous energy. Li Tongren was terrified to the extreme, his legs were weak, and he couldn't help but sit on the ground. ……

The sound of the fighting soon died down, and the Yan Yun army occupied Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, and it was less than an hour before the attack was launched and it was completely occupied. Yelu Hanyu entered Xingqing Mansion surrounded by all the soldiers and soldiers, and looked at the most famous city in front of him, only to see the figure of Yanyun soldiers, not half of the people, on both sides of the street, the doors and windows of every household were closed, and the capital of Xixia gave people a very desolate and desolate feeling.

Yelu Hanyu and his entourage came to the gate of Xingqing Mansion, and Yang Jing and others bowed together: "Niangniang! "Yelu Hanyu turned over and dismounted, looked up at the crooked plaque on the gate, 'Xingqing Mansion', and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Yelu Hanyu walked towards the yamen, and the generals followed. Coming to the lobby, Yelu Hanyu stepped in and sat down, and the generals were separated on both sides. Yelu Hanyu glanced at the generals and said with a smile: "In less than an hour, Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, was taken, and the generals have worked hard!" The generals smiled, and Yang Jing said loudly and unhappily: "This battle is too unpleasant!" I originally thought that there would be a good fight, but I didn't know that these guys were so vulnerable, and my pair of plate axes only chopped a few people, and they actually collapsed! What a bunch of rice buckets!! ”

Everyone laughed, and Yelu Yang Jing smiled: "There are not many people who can compete with Yang Jing!" Yang Jing heard her sister-in-law's praise, and her fierce black face actually smiled like a flower.

Yelu Hanyu commanded: "All the warehouses and all the palaces must be carefully guarded, and all the neighborhoods must send troops to patrol to prevent people from taking advantage of the fire to rob!" The army was stationed outside the city to rest, and sent a herald to inform General Yang and the King of Yan of this great victory, and then sent people to pass the news to Huaizhou, Jingzhou, and Tiemen Pass, asking the Western Xia people there to surrender! The generals agreed in unison.

In the wilderness from Helan Mountain to Dingzhou, the long line was endless, and hundreds of thousands of Western Xia captives were being taken to Dingzhou. Everyone shrugged their heads, hung their heads, and felt uneasy, both ashamed and happy. Among these captives was Li Ruolan, the Empress Dowager of Western Xia, who was now thinking about how to negotiate with King Yan so that the other party would let her go. She still wants to return to Western Xia at the moment, and she still wants to be her high-ranking queen mother.

Suddenly, the sound of galloping horses' hooves interrupted her thoughts, and she couldn't help but lift the curtain of the car to look outside, only to see a Yanyun knight galloping from the south under the sunset. He galloped to the front of the group, struck his horse sideways, and grabbed the reins of his horse violently, and the man stood up with a neighing horse. The whole team then stopped.

The knight held the iron order of King Yan and shouted loudly: "King Yan has an order, all the captives are escorted to Xingqing Mansion!" ”

The general who led the team bowed down and immediately asked, "Brother, King Yan is going to take the captives to Xingqing Mansion, has Xingqing Mansion been captured?" The herald clasped his fists and said: "Back to the general's words, Xingqing Mansion has been captured by Princess Yelu and the army a few hours ago!" The leading general was very excited, and turned his head and shouted at his subordinates: "Brothers, Xingqing Mansion has been captured by Princess Yelu!" When the soldiers heard the news, they all shouted excitedly, although the attack on Xingqing Mansion was expected, but after getting the news, it was still difficult to suppress the excitement in their hearts, after all, this is the capital of a country, although Yan Yunjun dominates the world, but it is the first time to break through the capital of a country, how can they not be excited?

And those Western Xia captives suddenly heard the news, they were shocked, and couldn't help crying, crying on the wasteland, mixed with Yan Yunjun's excited cheers, that scene was really emotional. Li Ruolan was shocked when she heard the news, but she soon calmed down, frowned and muttered: "It seems that there is really no hope for Western Xia, is it really good to return to Western Xia?" I thought that if I fled to Xiliang Mansion, Yan Yunjun would not chase after me, but looking at the sharpness of Yan Yun's army, I am afraid that it is useless to flee to Xiliang Mansion! In this kind of turbulent and fearful life, it is better to find a way to adapt to the current situation, maybe there will be another situation! I couldn't help but have an idea in my heart, a charming smile appeared on my delicate face, raised my slender hand, and gently touched my cheek, at this time Li Ruolan was really like a vixen who was fighting bad ideas.

The team slowly turned around amid General Yanyun's shouts and turned around and headed south. After the Xixia people were sad, they couldn't help but feel some expectations, although things were wrong, but they were going back to their hometowns after all. ……

Yang Peng sat in the back hall of the mansion, looking at Li Tongren kneeling in front of him, and felt a little incredible in his heart. He heard more than once that Li Tongren, the left prime minister of Western Xia, was a loyal and patriotic and very capable prime minister, but the person in front of him was cowardly and flattering, and he was not ashamed, where could he be associated with the four words of loyalty and patriotism?

Yang Peng smiled: "Master Li is willing to assist me, I am very happy!" Li Tongren thought that Yang Peng agreed, and said with great joy: "The minister is the king of Yan, and he will be smeared with liver and brain, and he will die!" ”

Yang Peng said: "Master Li is of great use, so I will make you the guard of Xingqing Mansion and take charge of the civil affairs of the entire Western Xia." (Xingqing Mansion is now Yinzhou City) Li Tongren was overjoyed, he originally did not have such high expectations, for him in fact, as long as he left a life, he could have a petty official to continue to enjoy the glory and wealth will be satisfied, immediately prostrate on the ground, gratefully kowtowed and said: "King Yan for Weichen, Entong reconstruction, like parents, Weichen can only bow to repay King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng listened a little numbly, and nodded, "Very good!" If you can serve me wholeheartedly, you will be worthy of my good intentions! Li Tongren swore solemnly: "Weichen will do his best to govern Western Xia for King Yan!" King Yan has an order, and Weichen will do it even if he is crushed! ”

Yang Peng felt that if he listened to what he said again, he was afraid that his whole body would be paralyzed, so he said: "You go down and rest, and come to the meeting with everyone tomorrow morning!" When Li Tongren heard this, he thought that Yang Peng had completely regarded him as his own, so he was overjoyed, bowed down, and then retreated.

Yang Peng let out a long breath.

Yelu Hanyu on the side asked teasingly: "Why is the eldest brother so hard?" Yang Peng shook his head and said, "Dealing with this kind of guy, it's really fucking like taking a hot bath in dog days, and it's uncomfortable to death!" The third girl pursed her lips and smiled. Yang Jiumei smiled: "He is showing loyalty to his eldest brother!" Yang Erya frowned and said: "This is like acting, and I don't know if it's true or not!" ”

Yang Peng pointed at Yang Erya and smiled: "Sister Yang Erya said it well! Then he thought: "But this person shouldn't be acting, he should really want to serve me." It's just that this person has a clear name, but he didn't expect to show such a servile and humble face, it's really better to be famous than to meet, and the meeting scared a person to death! ”

The third girl chuckled, then nodded sympathetically. Yang Peng glanced at the three girls with different styles, couldn't help but move his index finger, and said with a smile: "Xingqing Mansion has been defeated, we can sleep well tonight!" The three women's hearts fluttered, they naturally understood what this 'sleep' meant, and couldn't help but look at Yang Peng with affection on their cheeks, obviously looking emotional. Yang Peng swallowed his saliva, stood up and left his seat, took the slender hand of the third girl and walked to the back. ……

Early the next morning, Yang Peng left Wenrou Township and came to the front to deal with affairs. The generals and the Western Xia officials who came over were all present, but Yelu Hanyu, Yang Jiumei and Yang Erya did not appear.

Yang Peng pointed at Li Tongren and said to everyone: "I have appointed Li Tongren to stay in Xingqing Mansion, and from now on, he will be his own person!" Li Tongren hurriedly bowed to the generals, although he was a very high official in Xingqing Mansion, he was self-aware, and he did not dare to take it big in front of the generals. The generals responded with their heads bowed, but Yang Jing and the others ignored him, and their eyes were full of contempt.

Yang Peng said: "The internal affairs of Western Xia are all in charge of Li Tongren, who stayed behind in Xingqing Mansion, and all armies should hand over local organs and local warehouses to Li Tongren as soon as possible." The generals were very unhappy in their hearts, but they didn't dare to disobey Yang Peng's words, and they all hugged their fists and promised.

Yang Peng asked Li Tongren: "Lord Li, in the future, I will hand over the civil affairs of Western Xia to you." Li Tongren hurriedly bowed: "Weichen will do his best to guard the Western Xia for King Yan!" When the generals saw his obvious flattering virtue, they couldn't help but despise him even more.

Li Tongren bowed down and said: "Now that King Yan has annexed Western Xia in accordance with the will of heaven, the new dynasty has a new atmosphere, and a new name should be given to this place to show the bearing of the new dynasty, and at the same time, it is also good for people to forget the old dynasty so as not to cause trouble!" Yang Peng nodded, "I've already thought about this matter, and this area will be called Ningxia." All the generals felt that the name of Ningxia was good, and nodded their heads, while Li Tongren said with a look of amazement: "King Yan is really wise, this name contains both the old meaning and the infinite new meaning, which can be described as a good name for carrying forward the past and forging ahead into the future!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, Yang Jing couldn't help but say: "You guy, you are too good at sycophancy, a name is a name, how can there be so many things?" ”

Li Tongren hurriedly bowed to Yang Jing and said, "The general taught me a lesson!" However, the name given by King Yan is indeed extraordinary! This 'Xia' represents the past here, and this 'Ning' has the meaning of tranquility, the word 'Ningxia' not only contains the past, but also contains the ardent expectations of King Yan, so it is said that this is a good name to carry forward the past and forge ahead, and then to find a more suitable name than this name, I am afraid that I will not find it anyway! ”

When the generals heard this, they also felt that there was some truth. Yang Peng's name is nothing more than a name, but after listening to Li Tongren's words, he can't help but feel that there is really some meaning in it.

Yang Jing glanced Li Tongren up and down, and suddenly gave a thumbs up. Li Tongren couldn't help but be flattered, and hurriedly said: "How dare you be a general so praised!" Yang Jingwen said angrily: "You guy is not simple!" It makes so much sense to shoot sycophants, I've never seen Yang Jing before, it's amazing! Everyone couldn't help laughing, but Li Tongren couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and hurriedly humbled himself.

Yang Peng smiled and asked Shi Ping: "San Lang, have all the seizures been counted?" ”

Shi Ping hugged his fists and said: "Brother Huiyu, all of them have been counted." More than 3,760,000 taels of gold and various gold objects, more than 11,260,000 taels of silver and various silverwares, and countless antiques, calligraphy and paintings were seized, and the specific value is still immeasurable for the time being; In addition, 26 princesses of the Western Xia, 17 princes of the Western Xia, and 45 other members of the Western Xia royal family were captured, and most of the officials in the Western Xia court were also captured; However, nothing was seized. ”

When everyone heard this series of numbers, they couldn't help but smile, and Yang Jing laughed; "Haha, this battle is really not in vain, so much gold, silver and jewelry have been seized, but those members of the Western Xia royal family are useless!" Everyone laughed, and Li Tongren also laughed, laughing very happily without the slightest embarrassment.

Yang Peng looked at Li Tongren and asked, "With a huge capital, is there no grain and grass?" Li Tongren hurriedly said: "There was originally grain and grass, but after Li Qingxia learned that King Yan had broken through the Keyi Gate, she transferred most of the grain, grass, gold, silver and jewelry to Xiliang Mansion, so there is not much grain and grass in this Xingqing Mansion!" ”

Yang Peng frowned and said, "Li Qingxia, it's really not simple!" Li Tongren immediately said: "Compared with King Yan, it is just a light of fireflies compared to Haoyue, which is not worth mentioning at all!" Yang Peng laughed.

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