Yang Peng only took two steps before he stopped. Turning around, he smiled and asked Luo Yanran, who was angry, "Yanran, are you here too?" Luo Yanran walked up, "Of course." Yang Peng smiled, took her slender hand and walked outside, followed by Wang Kai.

When the group came to the barracks, they saw nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers squatting on the ground, all of them looking depressed and worried.

Yang Peng walked in front of the officers and soldiers, glanced at it, and said angrily: "Look at your bear-like appearance, which one looks like a soldier, you are clearly a girl!" The officers and soldiers were angry in their hearts, and they really dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. Yang Peng said: "You are completely to blame for your current fate and your own death!" "The officers and soldiers were depressed, and sighed in their hearts that they were unlucky, and they actually encountered such a caravan, which is really called 'hunting geese all day long, but the geese pecked at the eyeballs'! It's really a ghost, the caravan is so fierce, I'm afraid that even the Khitan army and even the Yanyun army are not so powerful! Is this really a caravan?

Yang Peng said: "To tell you the truth, we are not a caravan, we are Yan Yunjun!" ”

All the officers and soldiers were shocked when they heard this, and then they all suddenly realized, and a small soldier muttered: "No wonder it's so powerful, it turns out to be Yan Yunjun!" I said, how could the caravan guard be so powerful! Immediately, all the officers and soldiers showed a very frightened look, because they had always heard that Yan Yunjun was very fierce and cruel, and those who were caught by them and beheaded were the best end, and most of them were cooked and eaten. The thought of being terrible makes many people look pale.

When Yang Peng saw their expressions, he naturally knew what they were thinking, and said with a smile: "I know you have heard many bad legends about our Yan Yunjun!" I can tell you in charge that these are fake! When the officers and soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved, but they still didn't eliminate the doubts in their hearts.

Yang Peng sat on the ground. With such a simple action, the officers and soldiers felt that the distance between the two sides had suddenly narrowed, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of cordiality in their hearts.

Yang Peng asked, "I heard that a considerable number of you are from Shaanxi?" An officer immediately shouted: "The villain is from Shaanxi!" When he spoke, many people shouted, and at a glance, the soldiers from Shaanxi probably accounted for almost half.

Yang Peng asked: "You are from Shaanxi, don't you want to go back to your hometown?" Those Shaanxi soldiers all showed longing, and some even left tears. A middle-aged officer with a face full of vicissitudes sighed and said, "Who doesn't want to go back to their hometown!" But ......" stopped when he said this, and glanced at Yang Peng, with a strange look in his eyes, which seemed to be resentment and fear.

Yang Peng knew his thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Although you want to go back, the imperial court has told you that under Yan Yun's rule, it is extremely brutal, and your relatives have been killed, isn't it?" The Shaanxi soldiers did not speak, and that look was a tacit acquiescence.

Yang Peng didn't explain immediately, and asked the middle-aged officer, "Where are you from your hometown?" The middle-aged officer said: "The villain is from Qindu Town, Jingzhao Mansion. ”

Yang Peng asked, "Your surname?" The middle-aged officer was taken aback, "You, you, you know so?" Yang Peng smiled: "Qindu Town, I have been there more than once. Most of the villagers in Qindu Town have surnames, so that's why I asked you so. The middle-aged officer nodded excitedly, and then looked at Yang Peng, looking like he wanted to say something.

Yang Peng smiled and asked, "Do you want to know the situation in Qindu Town now?" The officer nodded hurriedly, and couldn't help but shed tears, "Villain, villain hasn't been back to his hometown for many years!" The 'Lao Xiang Restaurant' at the head of the town is the villain's home, I don't know, I don't know......"

Yang Peng said with a smile: "That's really a coincidence, I've been to the 'Lao Xiang' restaurant a few times," the officer heard this, and immediately became so excited that the whole person was trembling. Yang Peng asked: "The owners of 'Lao Xiang Restaurant' are an old couple, presumably your parents, right?" ”

The officer could no longer control his emotions, tears rolled out of his eyes, and he asked excitedly: "They, are they okay?" Yang Peng nodded, "The two old people are very good, they just miss their children!" The officer couldn't help crying: "Dad, mother! The other Shaanxi soldiers couldn't help crying.

Yang Peng said: "Their life is much better than before, the size of the restaurant has doubled, and the youngest son has married two daughters-in-law!" The officer was very happy, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect the dog to marry a daughter-in-law!" He had no doubt about what Yang Peng said, because the details that the other party said were all right, and he didn't believe that the nonsense could be said so accurately. Then the officer muttered strangely, "But, how can the news we hear be a different story?" ”

Yang Peng said with a smile: "That's the court spreading rumors!" You think, if Yan Yunjun is really like what the court said, how can the common people support us? If the common people don't support us, how can we drive out Hulu and recover the rivers and mountains? The officers and soldiers felt that Yang Peng's words were very good for you, and they couldn't help but nodded.

Yang Peng said: "In our Yanyun, scholars have no privileges, but those who serve in the army can be exempted from agricultural taxes and conscription, and as long as they join the army, they can be divided into five acres of fertile land!" ……”

All the officers and soldiers felt incredulous, and then their eyes showed envy. Most of these soldiers are the children of peasant households, but they have been plowing the fields for the landlords or nobles for generations, and most of the proceeds have been taken by the master's family. They never want to be glorious and prosperous, the only thing they want is to be able to own a few acres of land that completely belongs to them, and the family can live in peace and happiness.

Yang Peng continued: "In Yanyun, the fallen soldiers can not only receive generous pensions, but also orphans, widows, old fathers, and old mothers will be well taken care of by the government, and the children can also enter the official school for free. ”

The officers and soldiers of the army were itching, and their views on Yan Yun had quietly changed, only feeling that Yan Yun seemed to be heaven, and what they had never dreamed of before had actually come true in Yan Yun! Thinking like this, I couldn't help but desire to go to Yanyun too, not only the officers and soldiers from Shaanxi had such thoughts, but all the other officers and soldiers had such thoughts, and everyone's eyes showed a look of longing.

Yang Peng looked at everyone's expressions and said: "Now there are two ways for you to choose, one is to continue to be an official of the imperial court, I will not kill you, and I will release you at the right time; The second is to become Yan Yunjun immediately, but in this way, you will have to face the officers and soldiers who may come from Chengdu, whether this life can be kept is not necessarily, of course, becoming Yan Yunjun, you will enjoy the same treatment as Yan Yunjun. Now, tell me your choice. ”

The soldiers looked at each other. The officer surnamed Xiang stood up and said loudly: "The villain is willing to be loyal to Yan Yun, and he will not hesitate to go to the soup and fight the fire!" The other officers and soldiers stood up one after another and shouted: "We want to become Yanyun Army, we want to become Yanyun Army!" Yang Peng and the others stood up, and Luo Yanran looked at the emotional soldiers in front of her, and cast a reverent gaze at Yang Peng. In between, she would never have believed that such a thing would happen!

Yang Peng raised his right hand, and all the soldiers quieted down, looking at him in unison. Yang Peng said: "From now on, you are Yan Yunjun." He looked at those officers surnamed Xiang and said, "I appoint you as the commander and command these soldiers!" The officer was overjoyed and bowed: "Thank you general, the last general will die to repay the general!" ”

Yang Peng and Luo Yanran returned to the hall of the garrison mansion. Luo Yanran sighed: "With just a few words from the eldest brother, there are actually a thousand more soldiers out of thin air!" Yang Peng sat down and said with a smile: "Everyone has a nature, a nature to pursue a better life. I gave them this hope, and they would naturally repay it with their lives. Luo Yanran nodded, and said with great admiration: "Big brother is a real human king!" ”

Yang Peng laughed. Luo Yanran asked: "Big brother, when you came to Sichuan this time, you must have wanted to take over the whole of Sichuan, right?" ”

Yang Peng stood up, walked up to Luo Yanran, held a pair of her slender hands, and said softly: "I couldn't have said this matter in the first place!" But since you're already my woman, it doesn't matter if you tell you! Luo Yanran heard Yang Peng say that she was his woman, and her heart was pounding in surprise, her heart was sweet, and she lowered her head.

Yang Peng said: "You guessed right, the purpose of my trip is Sichuan, I want to see the mountains and rivers in Sichuan with my own eyes, as well as the morale and garrison of the officers and soldiers everywhere." ”

Luo Yanran was very happy when she heard Yang Peng tell herself about such a confidential matter. Then he thought: "With the combat power of the Yanyun army, the 100,000 troops in Sichuan are not worth mentioning at all!" However, since the ancient road, 'Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky', Shu Mountain is steep and majestic, and it is very difficult to walk in ordinary times, if you want to attack it forcibly, the degree of difficulty is not to mention! Therefore, the mountainous terrain of Shushan is the biggest enemy of the big brother! Yang Peng smiled and nodded.

Luo Yanran continued: "Although the Sword Pavilion has been taken, there are still several steep city passes in the south of the Sword Pavilion, and it is still not a simple matter to attack Chengdu!" I wonder what the big brother is going to do? I think that Miss Ancy must also have a very important position in the whole plan of the eldest brother, right? ”

Yang Peng smiled and said, "Our army is still assembling, and we can't launch a strong attack in a short time!" ”

"Ansie is the niece of the Xuanfu Envoy, and she can rely on her to let us control the Sword Pavilion. The Sword Pavilion is the key to Subei, and occupying it is very beneficial to the soldiers for the next action of our army! As for how to take Chengdu, it's hard to say for the time being, if there is no good opportunity, you can only attack! However, I don't plan to start a full-scale war against the imperial court now, now Zhao Heng and his uncle are biting each other, this scene is very exciting, let them continue to bite! ”

Luo Yanran nodded and said, "The snipe and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit!" Then he frowned and asked, "What if the Xuanfu envoy sends an army to receive the Sword Pavilion?" Yang Peng smiled: "Let's see!" ”

Zhao Xiang'er followed Yang Peng's order to publicize in the streets and alleys that Zhao Jue had sworn to come back to wash the Sword Pavilion in blood. The people of the Sword Pavilion had been harmed by Zhao Jue for a long time, and when they heard the news, they were all frightened and terrified. Immediately heard Zhao Xiang'er and their call to form a people's army, so, in order to save the lives of the whole family, they enthusiastically participated, by the afternoon of the next day, nearly 3,000 people had participated in the people's army, organized and trained by Wang Kai, and the equipment was the equipment of those officers and soldiers who were killed before, and some were reserves in the Jianmen warehouse. Due to the importance of Jianmen as the key to the north of Shu, the official warehouse of Jianmen not only has a large number of weapons and armor in stock, but also a large amount of grain and grass, which is enough for the people of Jianmen to eat for two years.

Anqian rushed to Chengdu under the escort of more than a dozen secret guards. At this time, the gate of Chengdu was wide open, and the people of the merchants and travelers went in and out as usual, and it was obvious that what happened in Jianmen had not yet been reported here.

Anqian hurried to the outside of the Xuanfu Embassy's mansion, and the guards guarding the door recognized Anqian and let them in without hindering them. Xuanfu made An Bing hear that his niece was coming, and immediately came out to meet him, this is a middle-aged man with a very rich temperament and elegant temperament. An Bing came to the hall and saw the dusty Ann Qian, so she was about to speak with a smile on her face, but An Qian had already spoken, and said urgently: "Uncle, something big has happened, you should send troops quickly!" ”

An Bing was surprised and asked, "What's going on?" Could it be that Yan Yunjun has come in? Then he thought: Even if Yan Yunjun came in, it shouldn't be Qian'er who came to deliver the news!

Ancy sorted out her thoughts and briefly recounted what had happened not long ago. An Bing frowned, looking very annoyed, and said: "It has long been rumored that the officers and soldiers on the other side of the Sword Pavilion often pretend to be bandits to rob business travelers, I originally thought it was a false rumor, but I didn't expect it to be true, and it robbed my head!" It's so lawless! An Qian nodded thoughtfully, and said urgently: "Uncle, you have to send a large army to the Sword Pavilion quickly!" Otherwise, the pacification envoy will definitely send a large army to retaliate, and Brother Yang's situation will be very bad! ”

An Bing frowned and asked: "You mean, your big brother Yang first smashed the conspiracy of those officials and soldiers to rob, and then smashed Zhao Jue's conspiracy to kill people and destroy his mouth in Sword Pavilion City, not only that, but also took the opportunity to fight back and annihilate the defenders of Sword Pavilion in one fell swoop?" Ancy nodded.

An Bing shook his head and said, "I really can't believe this matter, just the three of you caravan with six or seven hundred guards, you can completely annihilate the five thousand defenders of the Sword Pavilion?!" It's a myth! ”

An Qian said: "To be precise, it is Brother Yang and his four hundred caravan guards who move, and our people are just beating down!" An Bing shook his head and said, "This is even more unbelievable!" Not to mention the caravan, even the Khitan army does not have this ability! Unless......" Ancy asked curiously, "Unless what?" ”

An Bing's face was pale and he breathed heavily: "Unless the big brother Yang you said is a Yanyun warrior, his subordinates are not caravans at all, but Yanyun elites!" Ancy was startled. An Bing said with a solemn expression: "The only person in the world who can have this kind of combat power is Yan Yunjun!" Yan Yun is sharp, unparalleled in the world, iron-blooded, invincible! An Bing couldn't help but read a limerick poem that has been passed down all over the world.

An Qian hurriedly said: "This is impossible, they are from Liao!" ”

An Bing was stunned, "Liao? How is this possible? He looked at Anqian and asked, "How do you know that they are from Liao?" An Qian said: "When I went to Liao to do business, I met Brother Yang. Brother Yang is a famous businessman in Liao, and everyone in Zhongjing City knows it, how can he be a Yanyun person? ”

When An Bing heard his niece's words, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then said very suspiciously: "There is such a character among the Khitans?" An Qian said angrily: "Uncle, don't be suspicious, let's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon here, what's so strange about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon among the people of Liao!" An Bing shook his head slowly and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple!" The caravan of the Liao State is brave and extraordinary, and it must have a purpose to come to our Sichuan at this time! ”

Anqian said: "Their purpose is to do business!" Uncle, don't think about this anymore, send troops quickly! ”

An Bing walked to a chair and sat down, and when An Qian saw this, she said anxiously: "Uncle, you don't have to be slow!" An Bing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, the pacification envoy will not dare to send troops easily!" This matter is his fault, and if he sends troops again, it will be a clear tear with me. Once this happens, his army leaves Chengdu, aren't you afraid that I will fuck his nest? Anqian thought of this and couldn't help but nod.

An Bing continued: "And if I send troops recklessly, if he makes a desperate attempt to raid my lair, then we will die without a place to bury!" Ancy felt that what her uncle said was very reasonable, and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

An Bingdao: "Be careful, don't do anything, see what he does, and then we will take corresponding measures!" Seeing that her niece looked worried, she said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about your big brother Yang." Listening to your description, this person is a brave and extraordinary person, not to mention that the pacification envoy does not dare to send the army away, even if he sends a large army to attack the Sword Pavilion, he will never be able to please him, at least don't think about it for a month or two! The Sword Pavilion is extremely dangerous, and the reserves are sufficient, I have never thought that the Sword Pavilion can not be captured by force! Annecy couldn't help but feel relieved when she heard her uncle's words.

An Bing frowned and said, "A lot of things have happened recently, and neither I nor the Pacification Envoy will have the energy to take care of the affairs of the Sword Pavilion for the time being." ”

Anqian asked, "Is it a matter of the fight between His Majesty and the two imperial uncles?" An Bing sighed, "They have sent messengers from both sides to show my loyalty!" But this loyalty is not easy to show! Anqian said angrily: "They are all useless waste, and I don't want to be loyal to anyone!" An Bing shook his head and said, "In addition to the envoy of His Majesty the Emperor, there are also envoys from Yanyun and Tubo, all of whom have come to lobby us!" Hey, your uncle's head has been bigger than usual in the last two days! Now the envoy of the Liao State has also arrived! ”

An Qian asked in surprise, "Uncle thinks that Brother Yang is the envoy of the Liao Kingdom?" An Bing said: "Seven or nine out of ten! Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable for such a person to appear in this place at this time! Ancy nodded thoughtfully.

Soon after Anqian arrived in Chengdu, Zhao Jue and his men finally fled to Chengdu. As soon as he entered the city, he immediately went to the Zhenfu Embassy. The Sichuan Zhenfu envoy is also a civil official, named Zhou Rong, and An Bing, the Xuanfu envoy, can be described as incompatible.

Zhou Rong heard that his confidant Zhao Jue was coming, and hurriedly came to the hall. Seeing Zhao Jue, who was covered in blood and embarrassed, he was taken aback and asked in exclamation, "How did you do this?" What happened? Zhao Jue recalled the previous incident, he was ashamed and afraid, his feet were weak, he knelt down with a plop, and cried: "My lord, my subordinates are incompetent, and I lost the Sword Pavilion!" ”

As soon as Zhou Rong heard this, his face was so frightened that his face turned pale, his feet fell limply, and he sat on the chair, and said in a trembling voice; "You, you, what do you say? Sword, Sword Pavilion lost? Could it be, could it be, could it be that Yan Yunjun came in? Zhou Rong only felt that his world had collapsed, everything was over, he didn't know what hellish feeling was like before, but now he finally felt it.

Zhao Jue hurriedly said: "It's not Yan Yunjun!" Zhou Rong was stunned for a moment, the fear in his heart immediately dissipated, and boundless anger surged up, and asked: "You actually threw the Sword Pavilion to the bandits, how can it be unreasonable!" In his mind, since Yan Yunjun didn't come, then it was the bandits who were active in the mountains around the Sword Pavilion, but although there were thousands of bandits, they were all put together by poor sticks who had no food to eat, how could they have the courage to fight the Sword Pavilion that was heavily guarded and precipitous? Even if you have the courage to fight the Sword Pavilion, how can you win the Sword Pavilion?

Zhao Jue told the matter hesitantly, he knew that the cause of the incident could not be hidden, and he also explained it. When Zhou Rong heard that Zhao Jue actually sent someone to pretend to be a bandit to rob the business traveler, and later wanted to kill people and kill people, he was very annoyed, and scolded angrily: "You are such a bastard! Get me in trouble! Zhao Jue hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The last general is confused, please forgive me!" ”

Zhou Rong knew in his heart that every time Zhao Jue gave him filial piety, seven or nine out of ten of the property came from robbery. He was not angry that Zhao Jue had robbed the merchants, but he was annoyed that the things he had done had been exposed, and among the people who exposed them was the niece of his nemesis An Bing. If this matter is stabbed to the court, I am afraid that Prime Minister Wang will not be able to protect himself! Fortunately, it is not certain who belongs to the emperor now, and the three emperors are now competing for the throne, and they don't have time to pay attention to these trivial things.

Zhou Rong said angrily: "Get up!" When Zhao Jue heard this, he knew that the adult had forgiven himself, and he was happy in his heart and stood up. Zhou Rong frowned and said, "You just said that your five thousand soldiers and horses were actually wiped out by hundreds of caravan guards on the other side?" Zhao Jue nodded, and his face couldn't help but show fear.

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