On this morning, the West Street of Tianjing New City was very lively, a team of thousands of people and many carriages and ox carts entered the city gate under the escort of Sergeant Yan Yun, countless people crowded on both sides of the street to watch, and the windows of restaurants and teahouses on both sides were also crowded with people.

"Huh? Who are these people? A drinker on the second floor of a restaurant asked curiously when he saw the scene on the street. The drinker next to him said angrily: "You are really lonely, you don't even know that today is the day when the Western Xia captives are brought to Tianjing New City, and the government has already notified you, you don't know!" When the drinker who spoke before heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "I heard that the emperor, the empress dowager, and the general of Western Xia were all captured, is it true?" Another drinker laughed loudly: "Of course it's true!" Not only the emperor and the queen mother, but even the gray grandson of the eighteenth generation of Western Xia was captured! The restaurant burst into laughter.

However, an incomparably delicate scholar frowned and sighed. Seeing hundreds of Western Xia captives being escorted through below, he couldn't help but feel extremely sad in his heart. It turned out that this scholar was not a scholar, but Li Qingxia pretended, and the scholar who followed her was pretended to be two personal palace maids. Although Li Qingxia is a prisoner, she can move freely in the city of Tianjing New Town.

Li Qingxia felt panicked in her heart, turned around and whispered, "Let's go back." As he spoke, he walked downstairs, and the two palace maids hurriedly followed.

The three of them came out of the restaurant, avoided the crowded and noisy street, and entered a sub-street from the left, and the surroundings suddenly quieted down, and the hustle and bustle was left behind, as if it was another world.

Li Qingxia was in a better mood and exhaled. At this moment, there was a sudden cheer from the front. The three of them raised their heads and followed the sound, only to see a ring set up in a small square not far away, hundreds of people gathered in front of the ring, and two naked men covered in oil and sweat were fighting with their bare hands, one punched and kicked his legs, and the other dragged his hands and feet, and he was very happy.

Li Qingxia was not interested in this, and led the two maidservants towards the front. When the three of them passed in front of the ring, the audience suddenly burst into a shout of excitement. The three of them couldn't help but stop, looked towards the ring, and saw that one of the big men had already carried the other big man on his shoulders, screaming and spinning in place, and the person who was being carried struggled but struggled to get out! Li Qingxia and the three of them were shocked. Suddenly, I saw the big man roaring like thunder, and at the same time struggling to throw the big man on his shoulder towards the ring, the big man's huge body flew down the ring, and he fell heavily under the ring with a bang, and he couldn't get up for a long time. The crowd erupted in laughter and cheers.

The big man who won in the ring, raised his hands in the air, roared excitedly, and shouted, "Who else?!" Who else!? ”

The attention of everyone in the audience immediately took away from the loser and returned to the stage, and many people showed a look of eagerness in their eyes. Suddenly, a young man who was not very strong, but very strong, shouted: "I'm coming!" Then he jumped into the ring, ripped off his shirt, and threw him far under the ring. The people under the ring burst into applause, and they all looked very excited. The two people in the ring pulled out their positions, seeing that a dragon battle was about to start again.

Li Qingxia's master and maid did not stay here for long and left. At this time, there was a fierce fight behind him and the cheers and shouts of the audience. Li Qingxia has been living in Tianjing New Town for a while, and she has long been accustomed to the ring competitions all over Tianjing New Town. She couldn't help but sigh a little in her heart: 'Once upon a time, the sound of reading aloud in Han society has long disappeared without a trace, and has become the sound of this beast-like fight! Confucianism turned the Central Plains into a polite and weak society, but the Yan King changed all of this completely, and restored all the Han people to their bloodthirsty nature! This is a terrible beast that has been released from its cage! The whole world will tremble under its minions! ’

Li Qingxia stopped, turned her head to look at the sky in the west, and couldn't help but feel a dazed feeling in her heart, and muttered: "Daxia is no longer there, where should I go?" Her eyes suddenly blurred, and two tears ran down her smooth cheeks. ……

Yang Peng and others hurried to Yanjing, and Yang Jiumei and others, who suddenly got the news, hurriedly went out to greet them, only to see Yang Peng walked into the gate accompanied by Ye Yu Guanyin and others, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Meet King Yan!" ”

Yang Peng and the others stopped, Yang Peng glanced at Yang Jiumei and said, "No need to be polite." Yang Jiumei straightened up. The ninth sister looked at Yang Peng, and it happened that Yang Peng was also looking at her, and there was an inexplicable charm in the eyes of the two of them at the same time. Yang Peng glanced at the hall and felt that it was too boring to sit in the hall, so he walked towards the arch next to the hall, and everyone hurriedly followed.

A group of people entered the arch and walked up to a cloister, which was surrounded by rockery and green trees on both sides, and the atmosphere was very quiet.

Yang Peng unconsciously slowed down, remembered what he had seen and heard near Yanjing, frowned, stopped, turned around, and said: "I am near Yanjing, and I found that the earthquake disaster is very serious, many houses have collapsed, and the number of casualties is not small!" Yang Jiumei frowned, and said: "The disaster near Yanjing is relatively light, and the disaster in Shunzhou and Danzhou in the north is even more serious, especially the Gubei Pavilion, the fortress of the Gubei Pavilion was completely destroyed, and more than half of the 10,000 defenders were killed and wounded, this is not the most serious, the most serious thing is that the terrain of the first line of the Gubei Pavilion has completely changed, and the original lofty mountains and mountains have become a flat river, I am worried about ......"

Yang Peng said: "I'm going to the north to have a look!" Yang Jiumei nodded and said, "My subordinates accompanied King Yan to inspect!" Yang Peng shook his head and said, "It's better for you to sit in Yanjing." ”

Yang Jiumei knew that what Yang Peng said made sense, and bowed down and promised: "Yes!" Then he suggested: "King Yan is tired from afar, it is better to rest in Tianjing New City for one night, and it is not too late to go to the north tomorrow to inspect." Yang Peng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, now that time is pressing, one night's time is also very precious, I want to go to the north to inspect immediately!" ”……

Soon after, hundreds of knights left the north gate of Bianjing and went all the way north, surrounded by Yang Peng, Ye Yu Guanyin and his party, hundreds of secret guards and Feifeng female guards, and several local bureaucrats sent by Yang Jiumei to accompany them.

The group marched to the north, and the further north they went, the more they found that the damage caused by the earthquake was serious, the mountains collapsed, the rivers were diverted, and the earth cracked, Yang Peng was very shocked, he didn't know that such a strong earthquake could occur in this area of Yanjing!

After nightfall that day, the group arrived in Shunzhou. At this time, it was late and the light was dim, but you could still see the scene of the city wall collapsing and collapsing, and even the entire west city gate tower completely collapsed, which shows the huge destruction of the earth at that time! On the flat ground outside the city, you can see one camp after another, with longing figures and noisy voices, thinking that the homes of the residents in the city have been destroyed, and they have no choice but to move to the refugee camps outside the city. There are so many refugee camps, so many refugees, but fortunately, the scene is quite orderly and not chaotic.

When Yang Peng and others arrived at the mansion, they found that there was no one in the Shunzhou mansion except for a few old officials who stayed behind.

A few old officials suddenly saw many soldiers and horses entering the gate, and hurriedly greeted them, thinking that they were soldiers and horses sent by the left-behind adults to support the disaster relief. Several old officials stepped forward and saluted, and the old officials led by him said, "Was the general sent by Lord Yang?" A staff member of the left-behind mansion who came with him immediately shouted: "Don't be rude, this is Yan Wang Chitose!" Several old servants were startled, reacted, knelt down in a hurry, kowtowed, and said: "Villain, villain doesn't know that King Yan is coming, and he is missing the distance, I hope King Yan will forgive his sins!" ”

Yang Peng said: "That's it, those who don't know are not guilty!" A few of the old officials relieved themselves, bowed their thanks, stood up, and bowed their heads. Yang Peng looked at the almost empty mansion in front of him and asked, "What about you adults, what about the others?" ”

The old official at the head hurriedly said: "If you go back to King Yan, after the earth is shaken, your lord will lead the officials and subordinate officials to go to the disaster relief, and now everyone should still be in the refugee camp outside the city." ”

Yang Peng nodded, turned around and walked outside. Ya Yin Guanyin and the others immediately followed. Seeing this, several old officials hurriedly bowed and said, "Congratulations to King Yan!" After a while, Yang Peng and the others disappeared at the gate, and a few old officials straightened up. One of them said excitedly, "I actually saw King Yan!?" It's, it's like a dream! Several others felt the same way.

Yang Peng and others came to the outside of the city, inspected the refugee camp, and found that the situation in the refugee camp was much better than imagined, the victims did not have to worry about hunger and cold for the time being, the personnel on their hands had been treated, and the victims were all buried.

Just as Yang Peng was chatting with a few elderly victims, Duan Wei, the prefect of Shunzhou, led a few staff members and the Shunzhou supervision envoy to hurry over, and bowed with a panicked face: "The subordinates don't know that King Yan has arrived, and they are not welcomed, please punish King Yan!" So saying, he fell on his knees and bowed down.

Yang Peng stood up and helped a few people up, seeing that Duan Wei and the Supervision Envoy and all the subordinates were all with thin cheeks and bloodshot eyes, knowing that they must have been busy enough during this time, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart, patted Duan Wei and the Supervision Envoy's shoulders, and nodded: "Very good!" Well done! Everyone couldn't help but get excited, and they just felt that the hard work and busyness during this time were worth it.

At this time, the old men who were chatting with Yang Peng just now all stared at Yang Peng stupidly, they couldn't believe that the person who was gossiping with them just now was actually Yan Wang?!

Several old men reacted, hurriedly got up and knelt down towards Yang Peng, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaomin, Xiaomin doesn't know that King Yan is coming, and he doesn't know how to count etiquette, really, he really deserves death!" Yang Peng picked up a few people and said with a smile: "You don't know my identity, it's not rude." Several old men were so moved that they didn't know what to say.

At this moment, the surrounding victims also knew that King Yan was coming, and they bowed down one after another, some were very excited, some were very sad, and some were very longing. Yang Peng raised his voice and said: "Such a disaster has happened, and my mood is as sad as everyone else!" When many of the people heard this, they could not help but weep. Yang Peng continued: "But we Yanyun people are the strongest, no matter how big the disaster is, it can't frighten us, we will definitely be able to rebuild our homeland, and we will definitely be able to live a happy life in the past!" You will not be lonely, I, Yang Peng, and thousands of soldiers and civilians in the entire Yanyun are with you! The victims were moved to tears, only to feel that the haze pressing on their hearts dissipated in an instant, and they bowed down one after another under the excitement. ……

Yang Peng and Ye Yu Guanyin, accompanied by Duan Wei and the supervision envoy, returned to the hall of the palace. After they were seated, Yang Peng asked Duan Wei and the supervising envoy, "Is there anything you lack here?" ”

Duan Wei said: "There is no shortage of others, after the catastrophe, Lord Yelu immediately allocated enough disaster relief funds and medicinal materials, but the food is not enough, as far as our current situation in Shunzhou is concerned, the food is only enough to support ten days, and the lower official has already sent someone to ask Lord Yang for help, but the lower official estimates that the food in Lord Yang's hands is also very limited, and it is also very difficult." Therefore, the lower officials have ordered some officials and some healthy people to go to the mountains to hunt and dig wild vegetables, and there are harvests, plus the income from these hunting and digging wild vegetables, we can support it for about half a month, and then there will be a food crisis. ”

Yang Peng nodded and said appreciatively: "You did a good job!" It is very commendable that you can do this in such a difficult situation! Duan Wei hurriedly got up and bowed: "Thank you King Yan for your praise, Xia Guan is just a mind to do his part!" Yang Peng nodded and said, "If you can think like this, then you are a good official!" Then he smiled and said: "Who would have thought that such a good official would actually work under the Khitan back then!" ”

Duan Wei couldn't help but sigh: "Back then, my subordinates helped to abuse him, but now it really seems like a big dream when I think about it, and every time I think about it, my subordinates feel extremely embarrassed!" Yang Peng said: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, as long as you can make some achievements, you will be worthy of your ancestors and yourself!" Duan Wei bowed and said, "Subordinates keep in mind King Yan's teachings!" ”

Yang Peng motioned for Duan Wei to sit down, and Duan Wei sat down. Yang Peng pondered: "Food does not have to be distributed in sufficient amount to everyone every day, the supply of the elderly, the weak, women and children is guaranteed, and the rest of the population is halved, so it should be able to support more than 20 days, right?" ”

Duan Wei nodded and said, "King Yan is wise, if this is the case, it is indeed enough to support more than twenty days." However, it's just ......" Yang Peng saw that he looked like he wanted to say something, and smiled: "Don't worry about anything, just say it if you have something to say!" Duan Wei replied and said, "In this way, although you can hold on for a lot more time, I am afraid that it will cause instability among the people!" Yang Peng nodded and said, "Your concerns are very reasonable!" He smiled, "You just need to tell everyone that the food for support is on the way, and I believe everyone will not complain!" ”

Duan Wei and the supervision envoy were overjoyed when they heard this, and Duan Wei hurriedly asked, "Is the grain on its way?" ”

Yang Peng smiled and nodded, and said, "The first batch of grain should be delivered in twenty days." Duan Wei and the Inspector exchanged a happy look, and Duan Wei said excitedly: "In this way, there will be no problems!" Then he said, "There are also medicinal herbs!" The number of people injured in this earth movement is very huge, although the medicinal materials stored in the treasury have been exhausted, even the medicinal materials in various pharmacies have been consumed, and in a few days, I am afraid that there will be no medicine available! ”

Yang Peng nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?" Duan Wei thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The main thing is the problem of food and medicinal materials, and other difficulties can be overcome!" ”

Yang Peng said: "The medicinal materials supported by various places are on the way to be transported. The last half a month or so has been the most difficult, as long as you stick to the past, the rest of the things will be easier to do! Duan Wei nodded. Suddenly remembering something, he hugged his fist at Yang Peng and said, "There is something that should be reported to King Yan to know." After the earth moved, there were many local scholars who spread rumors and said disrespectful words, and now those scholars have been imprisoned, how to deal with it, and ask King Yan to show it. ”

Yang Peng asked, "What rumors did they spread and what disrespectful words did they say?" Duan Wei looked embarrassed. Yang Peng said: "You don't have to have any scruples, it's okay to be blunt!" Duan Wei replied and said, "They said that the reason why there was a movement in the earth this time was all because of the fall of King Yan and the fall of ......."

Yang Peng smiled: "Perverse? ”

Duan Wei's heart sank, and he quickly left his seat and knelt down, and said in fear: "My subordinates will never dare to say such rebellious words!" Yang Peng said lightly: "If people talk about it, it is not a big rebellion." He glanced at Duan Wei, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Sit down and talk." Duan Wei answered, got up and sat back in his seat. Yang Peng said: "You continue to say, don't worry about anything, you do what they say, and the speaker is not guilty." Duan Wei replied and said: "They also said that King Yan deviated from the scriptures, violated the teachings of the sage, and deviated from the way of the sage, so the heavens sensed it, and the heavens sent this catastrophe to punish the king of Yan and the people who supported the king of Yan!" ”

Ya Yin Guanyin said angrily: "Presumptuous! I think they're going to rebel! Duan Wei trembled and didn't dare to say any more. Yang Peng said with a smile: "These Confucian scholars have long hated me to the bone, and now that they have seized such an opportunity, how can they not exert themselves to play on the topic?" ”

Duan Wei bowed down and said, "When the disaster relief is over, my subordinates will deal with them immediately!" Yang Peng asked, "What are you going to do with them?" ”

Duan Wei peeked at Yang Peng, and saw that Yang Peng was smiling and did not have any annoyance, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what Yang Peng meant, and said cautiously: "Evil words confuse the people, and rebellious words are the heinous crimes of rebellion in any dynasty, and according to the past tradition, at least the three clans should be exterminated!" However, King Yan is benevolent and righteous, and his subordinates uphold King Yan's intentions, and feel that it is enough to behead the offender! ”

Yang Peng smiled and shook his head. Duan Wei's heart froze, and he hurriedly said: "The subordinates are wrong, the crime of great rebellion should be exterminated!" Yang Peng asked, "Have you read our Yanyun's criminal code?" Duan Wei hurriedly said: "My subordinates have seen it." "Then how should rumors be judged?" Duan Wei uh and said: "The code says that those who spread rumors and cause trouble without causing serious consequences will be sentenced to one to three years in prison, those who have not caused consequences will be sentenced to one to three months in prison, and those who cause serious consequences will be sentenced to more than three years in prison, epidemic, and even beheading." ”

Yang Peng then asked: "In terms of the case in front of you, which situation is attached?" Duan Wei pondered: "Although these Confucian students spread rumors and make trouble, they have not caused any consequences, so if they are in accordance with the provisions of the code, they can only be sentenced to one to three months in prison......" Suddenly his heart moved, understood what Yang Peng meant, and quickly raised his head and looked at Yang Peng in disbelief, and said: "This, is this too cheap for them?" ”

Yang Peng shook his head and said mockingly: "If you are afraid of even saying a few words from others and want to be sentenced to death, it is just the behavior of a coward, what kind of king is the king of the world!" Duan Wei and the supervising envoy couldn't help but feel infinite admiration in their hearts, and couldn't help but say: "King Yan is wise! ”

Yang Peng said: "Not only this case, but all other cases in the future will be handled in accordance with the provisions of the code, so there is no need to think nonsense!" The two bowed in agreement. Yang Peng sneered: "It's disrespectful, it's just something that the weak came up with in order to maintain their own right to rule!" ”……

A servant rushed in panting, knelt down on one knee, and said urgently: "Beacon, beacon, beacon fire......!" "Speaking of which, I couldn't lift it in one breath and got stuck. Yang Peng frowned and asked, "You said Beacon Fire?" The beacon was lit? The official swallowed his saliva vigorously and nodded, with a look of panic on his face, the people of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun have lived in a peaceful and good life for a long time, and they have not seen the beacon fire for a long time.

Yang Peng and the others immediately got up and walked out of the hall quickly. Turning his head to look at a hill outside the city on the left, a beacon tower was set up on that hill to convey urgent military information from the north. At this time, a huge flame on the hill was burning fiercely, illuminating the entire hill! Duan Wei and the supervisor became nervous, and Duan Wei stammered: "Really, it's really a beacon!" What's going on? ”

Yang Peng immediately said to Wang Kai: "Wang Kai, immediately send someone to the north to investigate, what is going on?" Wang Kai answered and ran down. Yang Peng said to Duan Wei and the supervising envoy again: "The situation is a little wrong, you immediately organize the local people to retreat to Yanjing." Duan Wei and the supervisor responded and hurriedly ran down.

Yang Peng turned his head to look at the north, his eyes revealing a thick melancholy. Almost at the same time, in Danzhou, more than 5,000 Yanyun troops were surrounded by 200,000 Liao Iron Cavalry. Due to the earth movement completely destroyed the city wall of Danzhou, the Liao State Iron Cavalry entered the city in all directions, and the soldiers and civilians in the city resisted desperately, with flying blood everywhere and crazy roars everywhere. At this moment, Yang Xiong, as the chief general, ordered his subordinates to give up resistance and flee for their lives to the south. A small part of the Yan Yun army fled with Yang Xiong, but the vast majority of the Yan Yun army refused to carry out this order, and still stayed to fight the Liao army to the end.

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