Chapter 566: The Great Victory at the Yumen Gate (3)
After several elders in the branch discussed in low voices, the oldest one said: "Don't cry, now it's the time when our family and our branch are at stake. However, if we can agree to send troops to Tianshui to save our family this time, the enmity will be over."

So half an hour later, eleven people from the Yun clan branch rode to the main gate of King Yan's mansion. After handing over the post, they were invited to the main hall by He Jingyan as expected.

"My lord, please accept our worship." The oldest old man in the branch has silver hair, because he climbed the mountain with the monks in the Baita Temple of Baita Mountain all the year round, he lived a long and healthy life, and his face looked ten years younger than the 80-year-old old man. how old.

He Jingyan supported old man Yun with both hands.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, old man Yun took out an envelope from his wide cuff, stuffed it into He Jingyan's hand, and said, "My lord, this is a little care from our family. Please accept the 30 taels of silver note."

He Jingyan returned the envelope to old man Yun with a backhand, his eyes were piercing, and he said calmly: "You will not be rewarded for nothing. What do you mean by giving me this money?"

Old Man Yun was full of grief, and said: "Please send the Tiger Ben Army to the disaster-stricken area of ​​Tianshui City Mansion to rescue our family members."

"My king can't use the tiger army without the imperial court's order." He Jingyan said bluntly: "The crown prince and Prince Li led the Tian family army to Tianshui city mansion in batches last night. If all goes well, the first batch of troops will arrive tonight can arrive."

"How can Tian's army compare to your lord's Tiger Running Army?"

"When the Tian family army fought against the Japanese pirates in Hebei Road, they lost more than they lost. Even if they went to the disaster area, they couldn't save anyone."

"Don't say such heartbreaking words!" He Jingyan glanced coldly at the crowd, waved his sleeves and said, "This king still has important matters, you all stand down."

People from the Yun family branch came out of King Yan's mansion with disgruntled faces, all of them filled with anger, wishing they could set fire to the mansion and beat He Jingyan to death with a whip.

"Back then, we hired the Jincheng defenders with 2 taels of silver bills, but now we can't mobilize the Tiger Ben army with 30 taels of silver bills."

"King Yan Luo is really hard-hearted, even this is not convincing him."

"Both Tianshui and Jincheng belong to Longdi. It is only because Jincheng belongs to King Yan. There is a disaster in Tianshui, but Jincheng doesn't care. King Yama doesn't send food or supplies, and he doesn't send troops to rescue him. He is so cold-blooded. Immediately send this news to Jincheng. Spread out of the city."

They went back to Zhuangzi and told the whole story, all the clansmen were so angry that they cursed He Jingyan.

Before the branch had sent more than a dozen people and nearly a hundred servants to the Tianshui disaster area, this time without He Jingyan's help, they donated 5 taels of silver notes to the Baita Temple and mobilized a hundred soldiers in the temple. A monk and two monks, great physicians, and two monks, pharmacists.

On that day, the second batch of people from the branch of the Yun family wore hemp and filial piety and marched out of Jincheng to Tianshui.

When they arrived at the disaster area the next day, they found that the Tian family army of the imperial court had arrived and had been busy for several hours looking for survivors in the ruins.

The wounded of the family members of the Yun family have received medicine from the generals of the Tiger Ben Army, which stopped the deterioration of their condition. Except for an old man who gave up his life and died without taking the medicine because his son and grandson had died, the rest of them died. All survived.

Seven days later, news of the Tianshui earthquake reached the ears of Tubo, Huiyi, and the Huns.

The leader of the horse bandits thought that the Huben army could go to Yumen, Dunhuang and other places to rob villages if they were not in the fiefdom when they went to Tianshui for disaster relief. Later, they heard that the Huben army was not sent to Tianshui, but had been stationed in Jincheng, so they gave up the idea.

More than a dozen tribes in Huiyi got the news that the Huben Army went to Tianshui to provide relief and distribute medicine. They believed that the current chaos in Longdi and the Huben Army was busy with disaster relief, which was a golden opportunity. day.

They abandoned the previous discord, held a meeting, and jointly summoned all the knights to prepare to attack Yumen, and then occupied Jiayuguan, the first pass in Longdi, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and then slowly moved eastward to swallow Jiuquan. , Zhangye, and established Huiyi State.

On a peaceful dawn, more than a dozen Huiyi tribes launched an attack on Dingchao.

The [-] knights of the vanguard army had already set off for [-] miles, and they could all see the gate of Yumen, but they encountered [-] tiger soldiers who had been ambushing here for two days and two nights.

When the two armies were at war, the Huiyi Knights team was a miscellaneous army. Regardless of horses, weapons, sergeants, and coordination ability, they were much worse than the Tiger Ben army.

The Huben army was so powerful that they took advantage of the victory to kill the infantry of the Huiyi tribe. Nearly a thousand soldiers were trampled to death, and more than [-] soldiers were killed. This became the biggest victory between the Ding Dynasty and the Huiyi tribe since the establishment of the dynasty.

This battle severely injured more than a dozen tribes in Huiyi, and within ten years they did not dare to invade Dingchaolong Land again.

At that time, when He Dong and Li Bingding rescued the army, Li Bing considered the impact of the Tianshui Earthquake on the army and resolutely refused to let He Dong use the Huben army to rescue the disaster.

Li Bing and He Jingyan did not communicate with each other, but He Jingyan, with his keen and advanced military vision and decisive and correct military decision-making, secretly sent half of the Tiger Ben Army into three batches to go to the border defense.

The great victory at Yumen undoubtedly brought a brilliant sunny day to the court that was rainy and cloudy due to the Tianshui Earthquake.All the civil and military officials recovered their spirits, especially the military officials, their voices were even higher than before.

Overjoyed, He Dong, who had been eating vegetarian food for twelve consecutive days in the palace, resumed three meals a day of meat food, and gave meals and jewels to Prince Qing's and Prince Li's houses.

A few days later, Li Bing, He Yiyang, and Li Yunqing completed the disaster relief mission and returned to Chang'an safely.

In the early court, He Yiyang read aloud the officials who made contributions in Tianshui disaster relief. The first one was Li Jingjing, the princess who protected the country by donating more than [-] silver worth of medicines and providing methods to prevent epidemics in the first place.

The death toll in Tianshui Dadi City was more than [-]. In the scorching summer, the corpses would stink after being exposed to the scorching sun for one day, and rot within two days.

The officials of Dingxi Changshi and Tianshui City Mansion strictly followed what Li Jingjing wrote in the letter. All the corpses were incinerated on the same day, and lime powder was dried everywhere and medicines were distributed. This did not cause an epidemic.

He Jingyan and Li Jingjing are husband and wife.Everything Li Jingjing did was equal to what he did.

Now the rumors about He Jingyan's cold-blooded neglect of the victims of Tianshui a few days ago are self-defeating.

The second place is Dingxi Changshi.He Dong decreed that he would be promoted to three ranks in a row and appointed as the governor of Longdao.

He Yiyang said loudly: "Father, there are more than [-] victims in Tianshui, [-]% of them stayed and refused to leave, [-]% went to Jincheng, and only [-]% entered Shaanxi Road."

"More than 2000 disaster victims are not too many for Shaanxi Province, and they can be resettled even in Chang'an." He Dong thought of He Jingyan's report on the resettlement strategy for the victims, and couldn't help admiring: "Look at King Yan and his wife. Going to the fief gave me a big victory, and helped me take in more than 1 victims of the disaster. I am extremely pleased to have their help."
