"Yang Ben, the county captain is looking for you." Xiong Shan said, "Follow me."
"Yes." Yang Ben gave a military salute and walked with Xiong Shan, while making a small gesture of raising his head confidently.
Xiong Shan pressed the knife and asked as he walked: "Do you know Mongolian?"
"I know a little bit." Yang Ben said, "I learned it from Hu Legen."
Xiong Shan also knew about this. At the end of last year, Li Xia captured a Mongolian named "Hulgen" and asked him to raise horses and occasionally teach them a little Mongolian.
But the Qingfu Army set off south to Dali in mid-February, and they didn't study for long in total.
A group of people usually only use vulgar words such as "Exiute, Edubale, Esha", and few dare to use Mongolian to fool the enemy.
Xiong Shan glanced at Yang Ben and said, "You are quite motivated."
"In my opinion, my colleagues are too lazy and stupid." Yang Ben said lightly, looking quite arrogant.
His posture is slightly similar to Li Xia, but very different.
Li Xia is arrogant, but not arrogant. He never shows off himself by despising others. Therefore, people who say he is arrogant are often those in power who want him to obey but cannot, or people who want to get close to him but feel alienated.
Yang Ben's arrogance is a kind of...sense of pretentiousness that looks down on everyone.
However, he was sincere, and he always expressed his feelings honestly.
Xiong Shan could feel that even if he beat Yang Ben, Yang Ben still looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't bother to say anything more and led Yang Ben to the county captain.
"County Lieutenant, people have brought it."
Yang Ben clasped his fists and saw that Li Xia was talking to Hong Aliu. He couldn't help but think to himself that it seemed that he was going to adapt to the situation and resolve the suspicion of Ye Ge.
It's a pity that Li Xia didn't realize his talent until now.
"Why do you dare to beat General Shi?" Li Xia asked.
Yang Ben said: "General Hong Shi shouted loudly after falling into the trap, which aroused the enemy's suspicion."
"You violated military regulations. First, you committed the following offenses, and second, you acted without authorization. I want to punish you, will you be convinced?"
"Convinced."
"Then Xiong Shan will punish you according to the rules, and then apologize to Hong Ah Liu in public."
Yang Ben was slightly startled and somewhat reluctant. He thought it was Hong Ah Liu who should thank him.
"County Lieutenant, General Hong Shi also violated military regulations."
"Yes, I have already punished him."
Yang Ben had no choice but to take a deep breath and patiently said to Hong Ah Liu: "General Shi, I hit you and I apologize to you."
Hong Ahliu waved his hand quickly and said: "It's okay, it's okay, thanks to you."
After that, Yang Ben raised his head and looked at Li Xia.
He should be punished when he should be punished, and he should be apologized when he should be apologized. Then it is time to reuse him. This is called the demeanor of a famous general.
But Li Xia said: "Xiong Shan, take the two of you together to be punished."
Yang Ben couldn't help but be stunned.
"County Lieutenant?"
"Um?"
Yang Ben: "..."
He took a breath and asked, "Is the county captain going to pretend to attack Shan Chan next?"
"This is not your business."
Yang Ben asked: "Why? Shouldn't the county captain run the army based on his talents?"
"It is true that meritocracy should be used." Li Xia said, "What do you think is 'talent'?"
"I know the art of war, know how to drill, am good at martial arts, archery, and horsemanship. I am good at making decisions when opportunities arise, and I am determined to fight against Mongolia. Why do I always succumb to these country men?"
"But in my opinion, the most important aspect of a soldier's talent is to obey orders."
Yang Ben was stunned again, raised his head and said, "I don't accept it."
"If you don't accept it, I'll beat you until you do."
Yang Ben didn't know what to say.
Hong Ah Liu pulled him, and he struggled away, saying: "I train the hardest and fight the hardest, but you always target me?"
"Xiong Shan, go take out the merit book of your team and check it with Yang Ben. How much work you have done and how many mistakes you have made. If you have any mistakes, come to me and tell me..."
Xiong Shan then ran down with Yang, but he didn't come to Li Xia to talk to him again. He must have done nothing wrong despite his credit.
Yang Ben couldn't tell whether he hated Qing Fujun or liked him.
Every army in the world often has some characteristics of its generals.
For example, Lu Wende's Lu family army was called the "Black Charcoal Group" by people at the time. In the early years, it was mostly composed of woodcutters and charcoal farmers. They were brave and carefree. Later, when the Lu family became prosperous and the Lu family's children were full of jewels and beautiful things, the Black Charcoal Army's carefree attitude became
Be more "bold".
Qing Fujun is a bit like Li Xia, who is "boring" in Yang Ben's eyes.
Others can't feel it. Hong Ah Liu and Liu Tudiao laugh and laugh when they get together every day. The "boring" that Yang Ben feels refers to their style of fighting and the promotion system.
Qingfu Army is like the iron sword in Li Xia's hand, cold, hard and silent. He is always strict.
Li Xia is like that too...
Li Xia didn't even show enough, he spoke less and less when leading the troops.
Yang Ben sometimes felt that he couldn't stand this. He was not the kind of dull countryman who grinned down to his neck even if he had military pay. He had a talent for fighting, but unfortunately, he was not needed.
But why stay?
Because the current situation has reached this point, the Mongols are heading south, and the disaster of destroying the country is already foreseeable.
The more iron-like an army is, the more useful it is...
Qingfu's army turned south, pretending to attack Shanchan, then quickly turned around, and when the Dali defenders were converging on Shanchan, they plunged into Tongya City...
Two days later, Ye Xian finally woke up.
It was Asha who gave him another anesthetic before, causing him to be manipulated by Li Xia like a fool.
When he woke up, he was tied up by Wuba Da and thrown into the mountains. He could see Dali soldiers passing by on the official road at the foot of the mountain.
In addition, he always felt a little itchy on his body, as if there were bugs crawling around. But he couldn't care about it for the time being.
I also learned to be smart little by little.
He would deliberately put on a dull expression to deceive the people of Song Dynasty into not using the medicine regularly.
Therefore, he could sometimes hear Song people discussing military affairs.
Although he couldn't understand most of the Chinese language, he could understand a few important words.
"Tongyacheng...grab food...Dali City..."
Putting these words together, we can already infer a lot of things.
He felt very angry.
Looking back at the whole thing, the Song Dynasty took advantage of the Sari monk's rebellion to enter Dali, and then attracted his troops to march eastward to set up an ambush in the Usa tribe. Then they turned around, bypassed the army, and headed straight for Dali City.
If this was the Song people's plan, it would simply be to treat him like a monkey.
But he had no more options.
He was led into Tongya Prefecture and robbed several temples in the southeast.
On May 12, the Song army entered the Huafo Temple and robbed it.
He was first given anesthesia and brought to the main hall. His mind was still groggy, but because of the dull expression he had been acting in the past few days, the medicine was not very effective, so he still had some consciousness.
I was listening to the hateful Song people shouting in Mongolian, offending Buddhism in the name of Mongolians...
Suddenly, a scream came from outside the palace, followed by killing cries.
"What's going on?!" Li Xia shouted, not forgetting to speak Mongolian.
He rushed out of the palace. Soon, he no longer had such caution and shouted in Chinese: "There is an ambush! Escape quickly..."
"Kill!"
"kill……"
He turned around and looked first, and saw a blaze of fire.
A Song soldier suddenly hit him on the back of the head with a scabbard, knocking him unconscious.
…
dark.
When I woke up from the darkness again, I heard noisy shouts from all around.
"Kill all these Song people and leave no one behind!"
"Report! I'll general first if I find it!"
"Hurry, rescue quickly and general first..."
I first felt someone dragging me. When I opened my eyes, I saw a sea of fire. Huafo Temple was completely buried in the sea of fire.
He was carried by someone and placed in an open space outside.
The Dali soldiers were stripping off the clothes and armor from the corpses of the Song soldiers and throwing the naked corpses into the sea of fire.
Not far from Yexian, there was a pile of armor and weapons, which indeed belonged to the Song Army. At a glance, there should be five or six hundred pairs.
"Who...who led the troops?"
"I have seen the guarding general, the villain Gao Nianfeng, who was ordered by Tong Yagao City Lord to encircle and suppress the Song army."
Gao Nianfeng knelt respectfully in front of Ye Xian, his face covered with blood stains and charcoal ash.
"Okay!" Ye Xian murmured: "You are very good...you have made great achievements."
"I don't dare. I'm just following orders."
"I...I'm so itchy." Ye first said, "It's getting more and more itchy."
"General, where is your itch? How about... I'll scratch it for you."
"Scratch." Ye groaned in pain first, and then said: "Call the doctor...come to the doctor quickly!"
Gao Nianfeng stepped forward, scratching Ye first, and shouted: "Please call the doctor quickly! You guys are making stretchers to take the general to the nearest village!"
"yes."
He was also carried on a stretcher first.
Gao Nianfeng was heard over there giving orders again: "Take these armors back to Tongyacheng."
I looked back first, thinking that these armors still had to be collected.
But my body was too uncomfortable, and I couldn't care about such trivial matters for a while. Then I thought that Gao Qiong had saved me this time, and it was unreasonable to rob hundreds of pieces of armor.
