Chapter 74

"It's really a warrior," Bo Shenghuo sighed, "It's a pity that I can't take it for myself." He said to Xiaota Equator, "Ta Chi, the remains of the Song people on the battlefield, should not be ruined. According to the ceremony of the Meerbo warrior, collect it and burn it, and put it in the soil for peace." Xiaota Chi's expressionless face, neither agree nor object, Bo Shenghuo turned his face again and smiled and said to Xiao Ping: "Don't kill the Song people captured on the battlefield. Identify it. If you have skills, you are willing to fight for us, the Meerbo tribe can accept it." This battle was entirely due to the timely appearance of the Meerbo people on the battlefield, which saved the defeat of the Liao army. Therefore, Bo Shenghuo thought it was natural to make this request.

"Everyone will be killed without mercy." Xiao Tachi squeezed out a sentence from his teeth fiercely. He ignored Bo Shenghuo's face and continued to say coldly: "If these Song people know that those who do things right with us will have to pay a price." After that, before Bo Shenghuo could speak, he raised his hand and whipped the horse whip. The war horses were in pain and ran quickly towards the middle of the battlefield. A group of Bai Diao Camp's personal guards rushed to follow behind. When the Liao army everywhere on the battlefield saw the commander patrolling, they cheered loudly at him. Although they didn't know how sincerely they supported him, the excitement after the battle and the joy of the life after the disaster were not fake.

"This..." Bo Shenghuo was stunned and said angrily, "No," he suddenly noticed Xiao Ping beside him, and immediately changed his mouth and said, "This Ta Chi has a temper as stubborn as his grandfather, and he can't suffer any loss at all." He bowed immediately, "I have to thank General Xiao for his assistance." "Where, where." Xiao Ping hurriedly bowed and gave in. The Liao Kingdom abolished the Han etiquette for a long time, and the Khitans met each other. Bo Shenghuo suddenly performed this ritual that made Xiao Ping not used to it. After hearing about the reputation of Bo Shenghuo and the grassland tribe, he was surprised that he and Xiao Ta Chi and his son acted very differently. Xiao Ping smiled and said, "You are always in the grassland desert, but I didn't expect to be so familiar with the tactics of artillery."

"Xiao Dutong laughed. I'm just a glimpse of the way to use artillery," Bo Sheng gave in. He looked at his son who was not far away and was cheering on the battlefield, and lowered his voice, "If I heard that the Han army guards in Nanshan City, Liaodong, were truly a good player to use artillery." Xiao Ping was slightly stunned, and his face suddenly became strange. Bo Sheng Huo laughed and patted his shoulder like a good friend on the grassland.

The war in Hedong of Song State was tight. Yang Yanqing failed the decisive battle with the Liao army and was surrounded by Yunzhou. The Song Dynasty court was hesitating whether to send troops to rescue the siege. The Song army lost the initiative on the battlefield, and the Liao army was continuing to attack other prefectures and counties behind the mountain one by one. However, compared with the previous wanton plunder, the Liao army's strategy seemed to have changed a lot. On the one hand, it spent a lot of effort to renovate the road to transport artillery and prepare to use artillery to attack those not-solid cities and villages. On the other hand, because of the war in the nine provinces behind the mountain, many fields were abandoned, and more than 100,000 nomads took the opportunity to go south to convert the fertile fields into pastures.

Zhao Xingde's identity as a Guandong native is well known to everyone in the Huguo Mansion. Recently, he did not avoid suspicion and ran between the captains of the Huguo Mansion and proposed to jointly attack the Liao Kingdom. To be precise, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Liao army's army to go south, the Anbei Army Department concentrated tens of thousands of cavalry to attack east, plagiarized the nests of the tribes going south, and then squeezed the space for the Liao cavalry to circumvent the circumference of the Liao army from north to south.

The lieutenants had different attitudes towards the newcomer in the Guardian Mansion. Yu Zangyun, who had a thorny gap with Zhao Xingde, was particularly enthusiastic. Kang Deming was a little unspicable. After a moment of greeting, Kang Deming smiled and said, "Is there anything else to say to Captain Zhao here except to give Kang a face?" He paused and asked, "The Liao army invaded Song territory, the people were displaced, and their homes were woefully damaged. Captain Zhao must be very anxious."

The smile on Zhao Xingde's face dissipated, and he turned to a sad look. He nodded and sighed: "Person Kang must also know that the Liao army lured the tribes in Mobei to go south, burned, killed and robbed everywhere. The original place where people were prosperous was often miserable and became ghosts. The general commander of the Liao army in Xijing Road was Xiao Tachi. When I was in Liaodong, I fought with him. This villain was cruel, cold and cruel, and he could do anything to achieve his goal. He didn't even care about the lives of his subordinates, and he was other kinds of people.

People of the tribe even regard it as grass. Now Hedong is not a simple battle between two countries, but the barbarians want to destroy our Chinese clothes. The so-called "who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, should our dynasty give up the past, join forces with the Song Kingdom to fight against Liao, and relieve the people from the people? In this way, the hearts of the world will be completely returned to Xia. Otherwise, even if you get the land of Guandong, you will probably be ruined." Whenever you think of the massacre of Liaodong, you will be in Hedong again, and it is still worse, Zhao Xingde felt a little painful in his heart.

After listening to him clearly, Kang De was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Kang deeply feels what Captain Zhao said, but there is still a question?" He looked at Zhao Xingde's focused expression, smiled slightly, and suddenly asked: "Captain Zhao, you said that the hearts of the world are the summer, and our dynasty can unify Guandong. Do you really want our dynasty to raise troops to the east?" After a sudden question, Kang Deming did not look at Zhao Xingde's expression, but raised the teacup with his hand, took a sip of tea, and did not urge him to answer.

Zhao Xingde's expression was suffocated, and Kang Deming's words were like a steel needle, piercing the question he had been avoiding. "Does the people of Guandong really hope that the Xia Kingdom will raise troops eastward and then unify the world?" Zhao Xingde thought with some pain, "Although the thousands of Song people may not be all loyal to the Song Dynasty, the teacher Chao may have to calculate one among the lonely ministers and evil sons, and his father-in-law may have to calculate one, and his father-in-law may not have to reach this point, but Li Ruobing's tough personality must have to calculate one, Chen Shaoyang must have to calculate one, Deng Su must have to calculate one among the military generals, but Wang Yan must have to calculate one, Han Shizhong doesn't know, Yue Fei, who was training with Chen Dong, may also have to calculate one." Song and Xia Kingdom have been together for hundreds of years, from court officials to teahouses and peddlers, with their ideas surprisingly consistent. Although they all admit that the other party is of the same race, they only hope that the dynasty can unify the world.

"If the Guandong court loses morality," Zhao Xingde said carefully, "It is good to go east and relieve the people from hanging upside down."

"If Song State does not lose its virtue," Kang Deming asked and answered, "Then we still can't go east, right? Since people are so kind, the captain of the Guardian Mansion will naturally wait to see how Song State loses its virtue. This is what Captain Zhao is worried about. "He then looked at Zhao Xingde and said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for the devastating creatures, how could he know whether Song State lost its virtue? I will never have the chance to know when I sent troops to intervene at this time?" Kang Deming held up the teacup and said slowly, "I will wait patiently for this answer."

............

A ray of sunlight shone in through the window. Yang Ren reached out and asked Zhao Xingde to sit down and said with a smile: "I heard that a few days ago, Xingzhi visited Yu Zangyun, Kang Deming, and several other old lieutenants. Not bad, not bad." In the warm sunshine, his smile seemed gentle and friendly, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Zhao Xingde bowed and said, "I wanted to visit Yang Zhengwei first, but I was always not a coincidence." It was also rumored that Zhao De was too young to be promoted to the general, and some old Zhengwei planned to suppress him. Zhao Xingde was unwilling to make enemies for no reason, so he was extra careful not to fall into the prevailing situation.

"In terms of rank, the Longya Army Captain is a general, but Yang feels that the title of "General" is a bit strange, right?" Yang Ren smiled. He took out a piece of brick tea, gently broke off a small piece, and put it in a teapot to soak it. Ordinary brick tea is not fragrant enough and has a bitter taste. The only benefit is that it is full of energy to refresh the spirit, and even old tea lovers who have been around for a long time will be full of energy to drink a pot.

"Yang Zhengwei is respectful, how dare I?" Zhao Xingde said respectfully, "I have not discussed the matters in the Guguo Mansion for many times, but I was fortunate to listen to Yang Zhengwei's instructions on how to defend himself a few years ago. I admire him very much, and I still remember it deeply." The brick tea has not completely dispersed, and the whole room is filled with the fragrance of tea. Yang Ren picked up the teapot and filled the two tea cups, and said with a smile: "The word "Self-guard" is familiar to Guanxi. Zhao Zhengwei comes from Guandong, so he feels it is fresh."

Zhao Xingde smiled and said, "The great way is simple, but it is not easy to transform and use it into the spirit."

Yang Ren shook his head, looked at Zhao Xingde, sighed, and said, "Yang is the leader of the Guardian Mansion, and should be fair and neutral in the state affairs discussed in the mansion. Yang will find it difficult to help the things that Captain Zhao is worried about." He was silent for a moment and sighed: "It would be great if Captain Zhao stayed in the Guardian Mansion for a long time. It would be a pity. You are so young and you will be alone in the future. It is just around the corner." Because Chengying Army, the captain of the Longya Army was appointed by the General's Office, and the title and rank were improved quickly. Often, they would have a higher position. Yang Ren could be promoted to general long, and he adhered to the way of self-defense and refused twice. As the leader of the Guardian Mansion, naturally hopes that there will be more talented people among the later lieutenants.

Zhao Xingde was disappointed, but he still sincerely thanked Yang Ren.

These days, he ran around the Guguo Mansion and pushed the Anbei Army to advance eastward. Only a few school captains agreed. Some of them refused, some spoke coldly, and some implicitly sarcastic. Zhao Xingde was a thick and thin man with very few words to ask for help. However, the Liao army's massacres in the military newspaper was getting heavier and he estimated that the number of people died was 100,000, and thousands of miles of prefectures, counties and villages became ruins. Every year, he felt like a knife was shattered, and he ignored all face and shame.
