Chapter 628, this family

When Yang Yanzhao received the report, he still did not dare to be careless, and it was not until he was sure that the main army of Western Liao had indeed withdrawn, that he sent a fast horse messenger to Xingqing Mansion and sent a message to Bianliang.

After receiving Yang Yanzhao's report, Li Tongren, who stayed in Xingqing Mansion, breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately ordered his subordinates to spread the news of this great victory throughout Ningxia immediately. Not long ago, Ningxia was instigated by the original nobles of Western Xia in various parts of Ningxia, and with the help of Li Tongren's house 'Hua Xu', he had already prepared and quickly put down the rebellion in various places, but although the chaos was peaceful, the dark tide was still surging in various places, and the tense situation did not seem to have eased much. Now that the Western Liao has retreated, the news has spread all over the streets and alleys of Ningxia, and the nobles who are still hoping that the Western Liao can come in and help them restore the country are greatly disappointed, and the tense situation in various places has been resolved in an instant. Not only that, some party nobles who originally had the heart of recovering the country and rebelling had no hope of recovering the country, and turned to Yan Yun sincerely, with the help of these people, Yanyun's local government arrested countless party nobles who had plotted to rebel before.

The arrests were not only carried out throughout Ningxia, but also in Tianjing New Town. It turned out that among the high-ranking nobles of the former Western Xia who moved to Tianjing New Town, many people also participated in the rebellion, and now the East Window Incident has happened, and all of them have become turtles in the urn. Those Western Xia nobles who did not participate in the rebellion and only wanted to live in peace and happiness in Tianjing New City were so panicked and nervous when they saw this scene, they were only worried that those people's rebellion would implicate themselves! However, as the situation developed, these people quickly let go of the big stone in their hearts, because Yan Yun only arrested those officials with conclusive evidence, but did not harass others.

Li Qingxia stood under the moon, looked up at the bright moon in the sky in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh for a long time. A maid came up behind her and bowed, "Master, Lady Hanhai is here." "Mrs. Hanhai is the last empress dowager of Western Xia and the concubine of the first emperor of Western Xia.

When Li Qingxia heard that Mrs. Hanhai was coming, her eyes showed joy, and she quickly turned around. I saw a woman in a long Hanfu skirt with a soft and beautiful face, and she came in a genuine style, under the reflection of the moonlight, it seemed to be illusion and reality, like a demon and a fairy, it was Li Ruolan, the lady of Hanhai.

Li Qingxia greeted her and said happily: "Sister, I was just going to find you!" Li Ruolan smiled. When you see this, you must think it's very strange, these two people can be said to be mortal enemies before, Li Ruolan naturally wants to get rid of Li Qingxia and hurry up, and Li Qingxia is also dreaming of getting rid of this fox spirit who has plagued the entire Great Xia in her opinion, how can the two sisters who are incompatible with each other now be sisters, and the relationship seems to be very harmonious? In fact, it is not surprising at all, the two women were hostile at the beginning, to put it bluntly, it was just because of the power of the Western Xia, and now the Western Xia no longer exists, the two of them are in a foreign land, both women, so they naturally gradually became closer, and in the end they became good sisters who talked about everything. As for the previous hostility, for the two of them, it was as if they had been in their previous lives, and they no longer cared about it.

Li Ruolan held Li Qingxia's slender hand and said with a smile: "Presumably my sister felt my sister's heart, so she came!" Li Qingxia smiled. The two held hands and strolled along the small pond in the backyard. At this time, the moonlight is like a wash, the breeze is blowing, the water surface is sparkling, and the cicadas and frogs are constantly chirping, which is a summer night scene.

Li Ruolan asked, "Sister, have you heard about the recent events?" Li Qingxia frowned and nodded, and said, "The local government has arrested many former party nobles who participated in the rebellion!" Hey, they won't have much time! Then he showed a look of joy, "Fortunately, Yan Yun did not take this opportunity to wantonly persecute our party members!" Those nobles, although they shouldn't do that, are also sincere to the previous dynasty! Li Ruolan snorted and said angrily: "What loyalty, it's basically for themselves!" Li Qingxia frowned.

Li Ruolan looked at Li Qingxia's expression in her eyes and said with a smile: "It seems that my sister doesn't believe my sister's words!" Hey, sister, you are a very amazing heroine! Even with a hero like King Yan, it takes a lot of effort to defeat his sister! But sister, you have a big shortcoming, you know? Li Qingxia looked at Li Ruolan puzzled.

Li Ruolan turned her head to look at the night sky and said, "Sister, your shortcoming is that you are too kind-hearted!" And he also lives with himself, always thinks of others too well, and trusts others too easily! Because of this, sister, you were calculated by Li Tongren and them at the beginning! ”

Li Qingxia frowned and nodded, turned her head to look at Li Ruolan, and said with a smile: "I was used by my sister for this point!" Li Ruolan nodded with a smile, glanced at Li Qingxia, and asked, "Sister, do you know how I bought Li Tongren and them in the first place?" Seeing her ask, Li Qingxia couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Isn't it that my sister deceived them, only in this way can we save Xixia?" Li Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled, shook her head and said, "That's just a high-sounding statement to the outside world!" In fact, the real situation is just that I promised them countless benefits, and to put it bluntly, it is benefits! They were bewitched by profits, so they betrayed their sister! Of course, it's beautiful! ”

Li Qingxia didn't want to believe this, and frowned tightly, but her reason told her that what Li Ruolan said was most likely the truth.

The two stopped, Li Ruolan looked at the sparkling lake, and said mockingly: "Now those nobles are rebelling, saying that they are to recover Great Xia and save the people from fire and water, but in fact, they are all for themselves!" The reason why they want to rebel is only because the Yan King has caused them to lose the land and pastures that belonged to them, so that they can no longer enjoy the high privileges they had before! Therefore, they hated King Yan and Yan Yun to the core, and wanted to collude with Western Liao to drive Yan Yun's forces away in order to restore their former authority! I can assert that they don't care about whether the Western Xia can be restored at all, they actually know that after the Western Liao drove away Yan Yun, it is impossible to restore the Western Xia, but will directly rule the Western Xia, and the restoration of the Western Xia is just a delusion! They knew this, but why did they collude with the Western Xia rebellion? Hehe, in fact, they don't care about this, what they care about is their past positions, they know that as long as Xiliao replaces Yanyun, they will definitely restore the previous system, in that way, the pasture and land will be theirs, and the people of the party will become their slaves again! ”

Li Qingxia frowned, she didn't want to believe that people's hearts were so ugly.

Li Ruolan sighed and said: "In the world, no matter what kind of people they are, there are really people who can shed their blood for others for a lofty ideal, it can't be said that there are none, but there are very few!" Most of them are just shouting high-sounding truths in their mouths, but in fact, they are just for their own interests! 'The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit', this sentence actually exhausts the true meaning of people's hearts! Li Qingxia sighed and muttered, "Maybe it's really like what my sister said!" ”

Li Ruolan smiled: "Let's not talk about this kind of unhappy thing!" Now that we have unloaded all the burdens on our bodies, it is better to enjoy life wholeheartedly! Li Qingxia glanced at Li Ruolan and said with a smile: "Actually, my little sister is very envious of my sister!" It's such a person who can afford to put it down and be at peace with what happens! Li Ruolan smiled: "Sister, you can do the same!" Let go of everything in your heart and think about how to be a woman! Li Qingxia showed a blank look and muttered, "If a woman? This, how to do this? ”

Li Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled, held Li Qingxia's slender hand, and said: "To be a woman, first of all, is to find a man you like!" Li Qingxia was stunned, and a man's figure couldn't help but appear in her mind. Suddenly, I was shocked, my delicate face turned crimson, and it was really beautiful under the moonlight!

Seeing this scene, Li Ruolan was very curious, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, do you already have a favorite man?" Who is he? Li Qingxia was embarrassed, and then said with a puzzled face: "I don't know, is this called liking?" It's that person who always comes to my mind from time to time! ……”

Li Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled, "Good sister, this is what I like!" Because you like him, you will think of him from time to time, and you can't forget it if you want to! Li Qingxia showed a blank look. Li Ruolan asked curiously: "Good sister, tell my sister, who is that lucky man?" What kind of man can get his sister's heart? Li Qingxia's face was flushed, she didn't speak, and she was so embarrassed. Li Ruolan was very interesting to see that this heroine who was in the Great Xia and confronted King Yan was now showing a shy look like a little daughter, and at the same time she was even more curious about the man in her heart, and she really wanted to know, what kind of man could actually get the heart of this arrogant and arrogant woman?

Li Ruolan wanted to ask, but suddenly her heart moved, she smiled slyly, and said, "Sister, I know who that man is?" Li Qingxia was shocked, her face was so red as if she was about to drip blood, "You, how did you know?" Li Ruolan smiled: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess!" There are a few men like my sister who can catch my eye! He is ......" Li Qingxia was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Don't say it!" Li Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled, leaned into Li Qingxia's ear, and said a person's name. Li Qingxia was stunned, her expression became twisted and pinched, and she looked like a girl who had just started to fall in love.

Li Ruolan returned to her mansion very late. Seeing that his father Li Shicheng and his two brothers Li Chenglong and Li Chenghu were there, he asked with a smile: "It's so late, why are you still here?" ”

Li Chenglong said angrily: "Sister, at this time, you can still be so easy!" Li Ruolan smiled, walked to her father Li Shicheng and sat down. glanced at his father and son, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, why do you all look like ghosts?" ”

Li Shicheng said angrily: "Ruolan, don't you know that Yan Yun is now arresting party nobles?" Li Ruolan nodded and said, "I know." Li Shicheng rolled his eyes, "I know why you can still laugh?" Why don't you think about it quickly? If we resign, I'm afraid our family will be reunited in the brain! Li Chenglong and Li Chenghu nodded together, looking at Li Ruolan with a complaining face, Li Chenghu scolded angrily: "It's all that class of guys who have nothing to do when they are full!" With just a few pieces of material, they actually dared to rebel, and they really didn't know how to write the word 'death'! ”

Li Ruolan smiled: "What should I do, it's actually for this matter!" The father and son glanced at each other, and his father Li Shicheng asked in surprise, "Aren't you worried at all?" ”

Li Ruolan sighed and said, "You guys, you don't know King Yan too much!" He was a ruthless man, but he had to do everything according to the law! None of us were involved in the rebellion, and he would never have done anything to us! You can think about it, so far, has any of the houses that have been raided have been raided without evidence? ”

The father and son glanced at each other, revealing a look of thought, Li Shicheng frowned and said, "Hearing you say this, it seems that this is really the case!" He looked up at Li Ruolan and asked, "In other words, we don't have to worry about it?" Li Ruolan nodded, and said angrily: "Don't worry about it at all!" You guys are worrying for nothing! When the father and son heard her so sure, they couldn't help but let go of the big stone in their hearts. Li Chenghu glanced at his sister and muttered: "If our family wants to really keep the glory and wealth, I think only my sister can become the princess of King Yan!" ”

Li Shicheng and Li Chenglong nodded thoughtfully, and Li Shicheng said: "Hu'er usually doesn't use his brain, but this sentence is no longer true!" Then he said to Li Ruolan: "Ruolan, I heard you say last time, I met with King Yan, what happened later?" Why hasn't there been any follow-up since then? ”

Li Ruolan blushed slightly and said: "This kind of thing can't be rushed, but after the last incident, I want to find him, and I have a reason!" Then he frowned and said: "I was already working on it, but soon after, the Six Kingdoms came to besiege Yanyun, and the Great War broke out, and my plans had to be suspended!" It's infuriating! Li Chenghu couldn't help but scold.

Li Ruolan looked at her father and said, "You guys came just in time, I was about to look for you for something!" Li Shicheng asked, "Ruolan, do you have any plans?" Li Ruolan said: "As the saying goes, 'if you want to take it, you must give it first', if we want to achieve our goals, we can't help but spend some money!" The father and son looked at each other, and Li Chenghu asked anxiously: "Sister, what should we do?" ”

Li Ruolan said: "Then Anqian's birth is much lower than ours, and she is not a peerless beauty!" But it was because they put a lot of effort into dealing with the Sichuan refugees when they settled in their homes, so they attracted the attention of King Yan! After that, it came naturally, and she became the princess of King Yan! The father and son nodded, and Li Chenghu frowned and said, "Sister does you want us to take out money to help the displaced people like the An family?" ”

Li Ruolan said: "It's not necessarily about relieving displaced people, but it's almost something similar." King Yan is different from those faint monarchs, he looks at women who are helpful to him, not just women with good looks! Only when we show sufficient help to him in national affairs will we attract his attention. After that, it will be much easier to get in touch with him, and I will definitely be able to achieve my goal by trying to please him! ”

Li Chenghu said bitterly: "Wouldn't that be a big sum of money?" Li Ruolan said angrily: "Our money is inexhaustible for several lifetimes!" Money is no longer important to us, what we need is status! Besides, only with such a lofty status, our glory and wealth can be maintained for a long time! ”

Li Shicheng and Li Chenglong nodded thoughtfully, and Li Shicheng said to Li Chenghu: "Your sister is right!" We can't be too stingy! You still have to spend the money you have to spend! Then he said to Li Ruolan: "Ruolan, what are your plans?" We're here to help! ”

Li Ruolan said: "First of all, I want to issue a call in my name to tell the people of the party: 'The change of dynasty is really common, and the Western Xia is only a hundred years old, and the people of the party are just subjects of the Tang Dynasty. Xixia has long ceased to exist, now we are all the people of Yanyun, we must be loyal to Yanyun, if we violate this, we are a great rebel, I hope all the people of Yanyun understand this, do not do things that harm the country and are not good for themselves! ’

Li Shicheng said with a smile: "Ruolan's move is really high!" Publicly stand on the position of King Yan and shout to the party members, so that we will be invincible! Li Chenghu pursed his lips and muttered in his stomach, he didn't see the cleverness of this trick at all.

Li Ruolan continued: "Then my father and two brothers went to Ningxia to take out money to help the government pacify the people who were having a difficult life because of some man-made rebellions. After doing this, I think King Yan will definitely look at our family differently. I will have a chance to approach King Yan and make the next move. If everything goes well and I become the princess of Yanwang, our family can sit back and relax! The father and son nodded excitedly.

Li Ruolan glanced at the father and son, and said, "If you don't have a problem, then this matter is settled!" The father and son glanced at each other, and Li Shicheng said loudly: "Ruolan, we will do what you want!" Li Chenghu muttered in a low voice: "Everything else is good, just to come out with so much money, it's really painful!" Li Shicheng slapped the back of his head angrily.

Li Chenglong asked Li Ruolan: "Sister, now that King Yan is not in Bianliang, we all went to Ningxia to help the people, what are you doing?" Li Ruolan smiled and said: "I also went to help the people, but I went to Yanjing!" ”

Yang Peng received the news that the main force of the Khitan army had retreated, but he still did not dare to be careless, and still took strict precautions, and all the scouts monitored the movements of the Khitan army day and night. Soon after, Yang Peng received the exact news that Ye Yu Hucheng had indeed led the main force to leave, and the big stone that had been pressing on his heart was completely let go. Subsequently, Xiao Lou completed the handover with the Yanyun army according to the order of the Liao court, and then withdrew from Danzhou and retreated to Zhongjing Road, and the Yanyun army regained Danzhou without blood.

After all this was completed, Yang Peng was ready to entrust the defense of the sixteen states of Yanyun to Cao Jun, Liu Zhiliang and others, and he himself led an army to rush to the aid of Yang Yanzhao, after all, the two legions that rushed to reinforce Yang Yanzhao cooperated with Yang Yanzhao's troops, and in the face of the 300,000 Liao army, it still seemed a little thin, and the defense was more than enough, and the counterattack might not be possible.

However, as soon as Yang Peng gave the order, news came from Bianliang, saying that the Western Liao army had taken the initiative to retreat outside the Yanmen Pass, and sent an envoy to sue for peace, and the crisis in the Hexi Corridor had been lifted. Yang Peng and others were overjoyed when they received this news, and everyone was completely relieved at this point! The six countries jointly besieged Yanyun, and so far it has been a complete failure! Thinking that at the beginning, the Six-Nation Alliance Army was besieging on all sides, and the momentum was so great that the people of Yanyun were terrified, and even inside the Yanyun Army, many people were full of despair. However, in less than two months, the situation has completely changed one hundred and eighty degrees, the eighth prince surrendered, Zhao Heng fled in a hurry, and the destruction was in an instant; The Liao State was too busy to take care of itself because of the civil strife, and the Liao army was frustrated in successive attacks, and finally had to retreat to the country gloomily; As for Tubo and Dali, they are just clowns who jump off the beam, and they are not worth mentioning at all.

In the face of such a victory, the people of Yanyun cheered and were excited; And Yan Yunjun not only overcame a strong enemy under extremely unfavorable circumstances, but also swept the entire Jiangnan, the prosperity of the soldiers, the world trembled, the names of Yelu Hanyu, Yang Yanzhao, Cao Jun and others were praised by the people of the world, resounding for a while, especially Yelu Hanyu, who has a special identity.

In view of the current situation, Yang Peng felt that there was no need to send troops to aid the Hexi Corridor, so he ordered the Sixth and Seventh Army Corps to stop rushing to the Hexi Corridor and stationed nearby in Shanxi to wait for orders. Cao Jun was ordered to return to Datong Mansion for defense, and Liu Zhiliang was appointed as the head of the march of the sixteen states of Yanyun, responsible for the defense of the sixteen states of Yanyun. After doing this, Yang Peng went to the Liao border under the protection of the secret guards to inspect it, and then returned to Yanjing.

Yang Peng and his entourage came to Yanjing City and found that there were many different people in the camps outside Yanjing City that temporarily housed the fleeing people, they were also ordinary people, but they were helping the refugees in the camp, distributing food and clothing to them, helping them repair damaged tents, and treating the refugees with medicine, taking care of the refugees, which is very much like the so-called volunteers in modern society. The appearance of these people has undoubtedly greatly reduced the burden on the local government.

Yang Peng and his entourage came to the gate of Yanjing's Left-behind Mansion, and Yang Jiumei, who had just received the news, led her subordinates to hurriedly come out to greet them: "Welcome King Yan!" Yang Peng and the others turned over and dismounted, Yang Peng walked in front of Yang Jiumei, and couldn't help but hold her slender hand. When the subordinates saw this scene, they were shocked, and they immediately believed that the rumor that had been circulating all this time was actually true!

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