The Legend of Shushan Xuanjian

Chapter 499 A Loyalty

Looking at Chang'an from all over the world, frowning and smiling.

The common people doubt the fallen leaves, and the bones are empty.

——Excerpt from Li Bai's "The Place of Refuge After the Disturbance and Shanzhong Left as a Gift to Cui Xuancheng"

……

On the way back to the north, Bai Fu, Fang Shuliu and Su Yubao saw thousands of miles of barren land, deserted towns, dilapidated buildings, squirrels and squirrels, and no one inhabited...

Traveling to the Luoyang area, I was about to dismount and rest.Bai Fu's sharp eyes suddenly saw a middle-aged man put his head and neck into a rope on a big tree ten feet away, intending to commit suicide.

Bai Fu whistled, and the tiger and leopard galloped away as fast as lightning.When he came under the tree, Bai Fu raised his hand, the flying knife cut the rope, and rescued the hanged man.

The man cried bitterly and told the reason for his suicide.

This person is Yan Quanming, the son of Yan Gaoqing, the prefect of Changshan. His cousin is Yan Zhenqing, the imperial historian and prefect of Puzhou.

After the rebellion in Anlu Mountain, 15 Fanyang iron cavalry swept across the land of Yanzhao, and 24 counties in Hebei fell almost overnight.

Yan Gaoqing, the prefect of Changshan, and Yan Zhenqing, the prefect of Yuanyuan, were unyielding cousins, organized the Hebei Daoyi Army, and fought bloody battles with the rebels to the end.

If we say that the commanding generals on the Hedong battlefield are Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi.The leaders of the Hebei battlefield are Yan Gaoqing and Yan Zhenqing.

Yan Gaoqing, the prefect of Changshan County, and Yuan Luqian, the chief clerk, Li Qincourt, the rebel army, captured He Qiannian and Gao Miao, senior officials of the Yan army, and made great contributions.

Later, Shi Siming and Cai Xide led [-] Yan army iron cavalry to besiege Changshan. Yan Gaoqing and Yuan Lu were finally captured due to the lack of troops and the city fell, and were executed by An Lushan in Lingchi, Luoyang.

Those who were killed on the same day as Yan Gaoqing, many nephews and nephews held hostage by An Lushan, and many family members and clansmen who were captured in Changshan.During the entire rebellion, more than [-] members of the Yan family died under the sword and ax of the Yan army.

……

Yan Quanming, the son of Yan Gaoqing, was captured by Shi Siming and imprisoned in Fanyang.Yan Quanming was not released until An Qingxu ascended the throne and Shi Siming came to the Tang Dynasty for an amnesty.

After regaining his freedom, Yan Quanming went to Luoyang to find the body of his father Yan Gaoqing.After finding it, together with the body of Yuan Luqian, the governor of Changshan County, they were collected in a coffin and transported back for burial.

During the war, Yan Gaoqing's elder sister, younger sister, daughter, and Yan Quanming's sons and daughters were all living in Hebei Road.

Leaning on crutches, Yan Quanming wailed and shed tears as he searched all the way, touching passers-by with grief, and finally found them one by one after a long time.

At this time, the female family members of the Yan family had been robbed by thieves and sold into slavery. In order to save the family members, Yan Quanming borrowed money from old friends everywhere. According to the amount of money he borrowed, he first redeemed his aunt, then his sisters, and finally his own children.

When buying her own daughter, she accidentally discovered that her aunt's daughter was also in the hands of the same human trafficker.

At this time, Yan Quanming only had two hundred strings of money left, just to prevent his aunt from being heartbroken, Yan Quanming gritted his teeth and redeemed his aunt's daughter first.

However, when Yan Quanming raised enough money to redeem his daughter, the traffickers had disappeared, and her daughter's whereabouts were also unknown.

Yan Quanming stood under the tree, suffering from hunger and cold.Yan Quanming loves this daughter the most. Thinking of her daughter's miserable future, her heart feels like a knife is twisting, and she wants to live in pain.

An obsession didn't work out, and the hurdle in his heart didn't pass. In a fit of anger, he committed suicide and committed suicide.

……

Yan Quanming wept bitterly, Bai Fu, Fang Shuliu and Su Yubao couldn't help but sigh.

This is the chaos of war, which makes the people of the world displaced, their families are destroyed, and people and ghosts go their own way!
Those who clamor for war every day, have they ever thought that if the war resumes, one day this fate will befall them...

Bai Fu once again felt the compassion of the loyal heir master.Although master Zhongsi is a direct disciple of the military family, he is brave and good at fighting, but he will never take the initiative to start a war to gain fame and fortune.

Master Zhong Si often said: "When the country is in peace, it is only for the generals to caress the people. I don't want to exhaust China's power and make a name for myself."

With tears in his eyes, Bai Fu comforted him: "Brother Yan, don't commit suicide again, if you make a fortune, you will be fine.

Also ask Brother Yan to draw his appearance.The Chuan Gang has a wide range of friends, and has a deep friendship with the Jianghu gangs in the Central Plains. They will definitely help you find your daughter. "

Yan Quanming listened, as if seeing a ray of dawn in the darkest hour.Yan Quanming knelt down and thanked the three of them.

Bai Fu hurriedly helped him up, and said: "My father's strength of character is admired by all the people in the world, mere meager strength is nothing to worry about."

……

With the help of Chuanbang and Liufanmen, after more than a month, Yan Quanming's wandering cousins ​​were found one by one.

In addition, Yan Quanming brought back all the generals under his father Yan Gaoqing, such as the wives and children of Changshan County Chief Shi Yuan Luqian and others. There are more than [-] families and more than [-] people.

Yan Quanming regarded these family members as his own relatives, and evenly distributed the property and food donated by the Sichuan Gang to everyone.

At this time, Tang Shu Yan Zhenqing served as the prefect of Puzhou.After consulting everyone's opinions, Yan Quanming took the fifty or so families to Puzhou to join Yan Zhenqing.

At this time, the war had just ended, and the road was not peaceful, and there were rioters and thieves from time to time.

Bai Fu discussed with Fang Shuliu, Fang Shuliu and Su Yubao returned to Chang'an first, and he took the disciples of Jianghu gang to escort the fifty or so families to Puzhou.

With the protection of Bai Fu and the Green Forest gang, the journey was safe and sound.

When they arrived in Puzhou, Yan Zhenqing was overjoyed and took in and supported all the fifty families.

These fifty or so families lived in Puzhou for a long time. After the situation stabilized, Yan Zhenqing followed everyone's wishes to subsidize travel expenses and send them to relatives and friends in various places.This is something to do later, I will not express it here.

……

After Yan Quanming and Bai Fu settled down, Yan Zhenqing invited them to the inner study to talk about old times.

Yan Zhenqing asked about the details of his cousin Yan Gaoqing before his death.

Yan Quanming burst into tears and said: "Back then, there was no food and grass in Changshan County, and no reinforcements outside, so it insisted on being captured by Shi Siming and Cai Xide.

My father and the chief historian Yuan Luqian were captured after the city was broken, and after they were taken to Luoyang, An Lushan pointed at my father and cursed:

"You are a meritorious Cao from Fan Yang, and I will tell you that you are a judge, and you have surpassed the prefect in a few years. Why should you lose to you and fight against evil?" '

(You were just a little Fan Yang Hucao. I recommended you as a judge. After a few years, I promoted you to the position of prefect. How can I feel sorry for you? You want to rebel against me?)
My father opened his eyes wide with anger, and cursed: "You are a shepherd slave in Yingzhou, and the emperor promoted you to be the envoy of the Three Ways. It is extremely kind, why should you lose to you and turn against you?"I was an official of the Tang Dynasty in my life, and all my salary and positions were in the Tang Dynasty. Although I played for you, how can I follow you to fight against evil!I am seeking thieves for the country, and I hate not beheading you, what is rebellion.Shameless dog, why don't you kill me quickly. '

(You were originally just a Jie slave who shepherded sheep in Yingzhou. The emperor has always referred you to the Jiedu envoy of the three towns. It is extremely gracious. How can I be sorry for you? You want to rebel against him? My Yan family has been a court official for generations, All positions are owned by the imperial court, even though they are recommended by you, how can they rebel with you? I am begging for thieves for the country, and I wish I could kill you with my own hands. How can it be called rebellion? Huo Jiegou, stop talking nonsense, kill me quickly!)
An Lushan was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he ordered his father to be tied to the Tianjin bridge pillars, tortured by Ling Chi, and his flesh and blood were eaten.

During the execution, my father scolded me endlessly.The executioner took out an iron hook, broke my father's tongue, and cursed viciously: "See, can you still curse?" '

My father was fearless, swearing in spite of his slurs.It wasn't until the moment of dying that the scolding stopped abruptly.

My youngest brother Yan Dan, cousin Yan Xu and Master Yuan all had their limbs cut off before execution.Master Yuan saw the younger brother of the traitor general He Qiannian, and sprayed blood on his face.He Zei was furious and executed Master Yuan Ling Chi.

The execution process was extremely cruel, and the people passing by couldn't bear to look directly at it, and all of them shed tears.

Those who were killed on the same day as my father were also many sons and nephews who were held hostage by An Lushan, as well as many family members and clansmen who were captured in Changshan.Their flesh was sliced ​​off piece by piece until the last drop of blood was shed..."

Speaking of this, Yan Quanming broke down in tears and fainted on the spot.

Although this was the second time listening to Yan Quanming's talk about this matter, Bai Fu still couldn't help himself, tears streaming down his face.

Bai Fu endured his grief, and tapped several acupuncture points around Yan Quanming's body, Yan Quanming woke up slowly.

Yan Quanming took the teacup handed over by Yan Zhenqing, took a deep sip, calmed down a little, and said: "After my father was killed, his head was hung on the streets of Luoyang for public display, and no one dared to go to the funeral.

Only a man named Zhang Cou secretly cut off a strand of my father's hair and entrusted me to hand it over to my mother.

Two years have passed since the incident, and no one knows where my father's remains are buried.

I found the executioner who executed that year, and learned that my father's foot was cut off first when he died, and he was buried with Mr. Yuan Luqian.

Through this clue, I finally found one of my father's feet and the head of my younger brother Ji Ming.These are all the remains of my father and son..."

Weeping blood in my heart, I can't bear to say it, I can't bear to listen to it.

……

　Two geese fly to Luoyang, and five horses cross the river.

　　When He Yi goes to the east gate, Hu Chu screams even more.

　　Jackals and tigers ran away in the Central Plains, and the ancestral temple was burned.

　　It is too white to pass through the sky, and the decaying sun hides the rest of the sun.

　　The royal city is in turmoil, and the road of the world is steep.

　　Looking at Chang'an from all over the world, frowning and smiling.

　　The common people doubt the fallen leaves, and the bones are empty.

　　The company's soldiers are like snow-capped mountains, who can predict the defeat of the enemy?
　　I hang my wings to the north and learn from the Nanshan leopard.

　　Master Cui Zixian, every call for joy.

　　The purple jade flute on the bed of Hu, but sits on the blue cloud and screams.

　　Yanghua Manzhou City, buy wine and look at the same place.

　　Suddenly thinking of the Shanxi River, the water and stones are far away and clear.

　　The snow is all over the sky and the earth is bright, and the wind blows away the lake and mountains.

　　Bored for Luo Shengchan, drunk with Wuyue tune.

　　The red clouds move the golden light, and the sun is full of Senhaiqiao.

　　Dissipate the ancient meaning alone, hang down a stream to fish.

　　Apes cry near the sky, and people move to the side of the moon.

　　There is no bitterness in the ink ribbon, so I come to ask for cinnabar.

　　Huafa grows and bends his waist, which will make Tao Gong scoff at him.
