Hao Tianyi sat on the bank of Yanhe River for a whole day.
Compared to the days of non-stop work after being captured, it was actually nice to be able to take a break and look at the scenery.
And what Li Xia wanted him to see was not the scenery. He had already seen Yang Dayuan's attitude. He pushed the raft to the shore and talked with Li Xia until sunset. When he returned to Taiyuan and mentioned this matter, it would cause a wave of ripples in the north.
The hearts of the people...
The day was like this. As night fell, the Song army on the bank held their bows and protected Yang Dayuan across the middle of the river.
After crossing the middle of the river, it was Yang Dayuan's territory, and the people lined up in the north were all Yang Dayuan's confidants.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty put away their bows and crossbows, turned around, and prepared to return.
Hao Tianyi's hands were tied, and a soldier held him and asked him to follow the horse.
Very embarrassed.
During the battle of Yanzhou City, he accidentally fell into an ambush by Zhang Jue, and Yang Dayuan refused to save him. So today he is a prisoner of Li Xia, and Yang Dayuan is still a guest.
But when he turned back, he caught a glimpse of the figure on the river falling down.
One moment he was a guest, a marshal of the capital, and the situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi was affected by his thoughts; the next moment he was a corpse floating on the river, dead without any struggle.
Nature plays tricks on people.
As a bystander of the whole incident, Hao Tianyi felt a little emotional. He quickly calmed down and scanned the surroundings for the murderer.
The Mongolian soldiers on the other side were shouting and roaring, and there was chaos. Many people were roaring and firing arrows towards this side.
Most of the arrows landed on the river, beyond the center of the river.
In other words, although the two sides of the Yanhe River cannot shoot each other, they can both reach Yang Dayuan.
Hao Tianyi turned around and saw a row of trees on both sides of the river bank.
Most of the trees here in northern Shaanxi are cypresses. The so-called pines and cypresses are evergreen. In this March, the cypress leaves are in full bloom and the canopy can hide people.
I didn’t see anyone jumping down from the tree crown on the south bank.
As for the other side of the river, the noise was so loud that it was impossible to tell from the chaotic scene whether the killer had taken advantage of the chaos to hide among the soldiers.
From this moment of observation, Hao Tianyi had made a rough judgment that it was not Li Xia's move. It was neither necessary nor the right time.
He was not sure and could not affect those people opposite who were shouting for revenge.
There were already ships going down the Yan River from the upper reaches. Yang Wenzhong was shouting an order, ordering his soldiers to cross the river and kill Li Xia.
Seeing this scene, Hao Tianyi was quite curious about how Li Xia would explain to Yang Wenzhong.
If Yang Wenzhong can be calmed down at this time, he may not be able to find the killer. If he can explain clearly, I am afraid that the Yang family can really return to Li Xia.
Li Xia did not explain, but started issuing orders one after another.
Hao Tianyi couldn't hear clearly, he could only hear Shi Zheng not far away conveying to his subordinates.
"Let the Mongolian army attack them, surround and annihilate them, and don't let anyone escape..."
There was the sound of horse hooves heading south. It was Li Xia who sent a letter horse to mobilize reinforcements.
This surprised Hao Tianyi.
Li Xia's reaction felt cold, as if he had no emotion at all.
There is no regret, no cry of injustice. It happened, and there is no point in explaining. If Yang Wenzhong wants to kill him, he should kill him back. It is better to kill him directly and silence him, so as to control the situation.
If you think about it carefully, he can be so sensible at such a young age, which shows that he has a cold and ruthless temperament. Hao Tianyi really doesn't like people like Li Xia and feels a little scary...
Song's soldiers began to prepare for battle nervously and orderly.
Hao Tianyi was tied under a big tree. He raised his head and looked at the tree crown above his head, and suddenly felt a cool swishing behind his back.
He couldn't help but think, maybe it was Li Xia who had just failed to reach an agreement with Yang Dayuan and sent someone to shoot Yang Dayuan?
The killer is hiding in the tree crown at this time. If he jumps down, he can give Hao Tianyi a sword and seal his throat to death.
Hao Tianyi's throat rolled.
He feels that human life is really fragile...
When night fell completely, someone lit a torch, and both sides began to test with arrows, and the war was stalemate.
From the south, there was the sound of horse hoofbeats like muffled thunder, which meant that Zhang Jue's reinforcements were approaching.
Unexpectedly, Yang Wenzhong, who was originally determined to fight to the death, had indeed ordered a retreat before this.
The sound of gold ringing came from the other side, and Hao Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief.
He is tied here and cannot run away. If the other side attacks and the battle line is pushed nearby, it is very likely to kill him.
After that, I saw the Song Army chasing along the river for a while, but after all, it was located downstream, and not far away was the fortress built by the Mongolian Army. Once the Mongolian Army retreated, the Song Army could no longer annihilate the opponent, and quickly retreated.
return.
A conflict ended hastily like this.
Even Hao Tianyi noticed that Yang Wenzhong reacted abnormally. The change from angry and raising troops to calmly retreating from the enemy was too fast. It was obvious that he had received a warning.
It means someone is fighting with Li Xia.
"Since Great Mongolia took the initiative to withdraw its troops, how could His Majesty not consider the changes in people's hearts caused by this move, and how could there be no follow-up measures?"
~~
A body was salvaged and sent to Saimen Village.
There were soldiers holding torches high and leading the way. Before they reached the hall, they could already hear roars and wailing.
"Second brother!" Yang Dacheng stepped forward and cried, his face full of shock and grief, and cried: "Eldest brother is gone, and you are gone too. What should I do with this whole family?!"
"Uncle? Uncle?" Yang Wen'an stretched out his trembling hand and gently touched Yang Dayuan's body, as if he refused to believe that his uncle was dead.
When it was confirmed that the person on the stretcher really could not survive, Yang Wen'an was stunned.
He turned to look at his brother Yang Wenzhong and took a few steps back, not knowing where he wanted to go.
Until he remembered that when his father died in battle, Yang Dayuan once held him in his arms and said, "Uncle is still here, and he will raise you as his son." Yang Wen'an's eyes turned red and he shed tears.
He had a stubborn personality and never wanted to show his emotions in front of others. He wiped his eyes and stood aside to calm down.
"Father." Yang Wencan was a few steps away and could not reach his father's body before his third uncle and cousin.
Yang Wencan behaved in a weak manner. When the Yang family members around him were shouting for "revenge", he listened to the instructions of several uncles and took the children aside.
Everyone in the Yang family had different reactions, but Yang Dayuan always treated his soldiers leniently, and the whole army was filled with grief.
Many people drew their sabers and pointed to the sky, vowing to kill Li Xia to avenge the marshal.
It was not until these people's emotions passed their peak that Xu Heng slowly walked to Yang Dayuan's body and expressed his condolences as an important minister of the Mongolian Kingdom.
Instructing the soldiers to bring the torch closer, Xu Heng leaned over and squinted his old eyes to take a closer look at Yang Dayuan's pale face soaked in river water and his festering wounds.
The arrow penetrated the entire neck from the left side.
It's a bow and arrow, not a crossbow.
Bows and arrows are more difficult to master, but those who are good at shooting can shoot more than 200 steps. Although a crossbow arrow travels ten times faster than a bow, it can only shoot directly up to fifty steps, and it will be unbalanced any further.
In other words, the person who shot Yang Dayuan to death was probably fifty to a hundred steps away from the center of the river.
Look at the arrow inserted again, there is some tilt from top to bottom...
"It seems that the Song army climbed up the tree on the other side of the river and shot Marshal Yang." Xu Heng made his judgment.
Yang Wen'an then recruited two soldiers to demonstrate.
The Song army was on the south bank. When Yang Dayuan came back, he was facing downstream and was holding a pole. The last rays of the setting sun were cast on his back, and an arrow was shot from the right...
At the end, Yang Wen'an asked Yang Wenzhong: "Brother, is this true?"
"Not bad." Yang Wenzhong choked.
Yang Wen'an frowned when he heard this, walked a few steps, and stood at the brightest spot of the bonfire.
Here, he glanced at the soldiers who went with Yang Dayuan.
"Tell me what you saw at that time."
"Let's take care of the funeral first." Yang Dacheng said: "Let the second brother be buried in peace, and then we can talk about revenge."
After all, he is an elder. As soon as Yang Dajie opened his mouth, Yang Wen'an stopped questioning...
The military meeting hall was quickly converted into a mourning hall.
It was busy in Saimen Village.
Late at night, Xu Heng, Yang Daqi, Yang Wenzhong and Yang Wen'an sat in a side pavilion to discuss secretly.
When there are few people, it is easier to talk about certain things and to be candid.
In the dull atmosphere, Xu Heng spoke first and said: "Marshal Yang, in order to recruit Li Xia to surrender, did not hesitate to cross the river to accept him, and died for the benefit of the country. I will report to His Majesty Ming and posthumous titles for Marshal Yang."
The three uncles and nephews of the Yang family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
When Yang Dayuan died and went to see Li Xia, they must be worried about what Kublai Khan would think of him. With Xu Heng's words, they felt a lot more at ease.
"Back then, Wu Xian held a banquet to capture and kill Shi Tianni, which was shameful to the world." Yang Dajiao said: "Now that Li Xia dares to follow Wu Xian's actions, he will be cut into thousands of pieces."
Comparing Yang Dayuan to Shi Tianni, Yang Daqiu is comparing himself to Shi Tianze.
Comparing Li Xia to a martial immortal caused the Northern princes to resent him, which was obviously beneficial to the great Mongolia.
In two sentences, the tone of the whole thing was set.
What is said after that cannot change the tone just set, it is just a discussion.
Yang Wen'an asked at this time: "I still have a little doubt...when my uncle was hit by the arrow, did he face east or west? Can you remember, brother?"
Yang Wenzhong was stunned for a moment, thought back, and said slowly: "It was already dark at that time, and the distance was so far that I couldn't see clearly."
"No one can see the soldiers clearly?"
"I asked just now. Some people said that my uncle is facing upstream, but more people are sure that his uncle is facing downstream... What does the second brother mean?"
Yang Wen'an did not answer immediately, and seemed to glance at Xu Heng.
Xu Heng sighed, turned to Yang Wen'an, and asked, "It seems that Uncle Tai is suspicious of me?"
"Juniors don't dare."
"It's human nature to have doubts." Xu Heng said: "But I have no reason to kill Marshal Yang. I am absolutely sure that Marshal Yang will never be bewitched by Li Xia, because Li Xia can't give Marshal Yang any promises at all."
He stopped clicking, but Yang Wen'an already understood and nodded.
Since he was not worried about Yang Dayuan being incited to rebel, Xu Heng, who came on behalf of Kublai Khan, had no need to kill Yang Dayuan. Instead, he had to be careful about the death of his coach and the situation in northern Shaanxi would be unstable.
"It seems that my uncle talked with Li Xia and rejected Li Xia's request. Li Xia became angry and sent someone to shoot his uncle." Yang Wenzhong said, "The more I think about it, the more I feel that the situation at that time was exactly
in this way."
"That's right." Yang Wenji said: "Li Xia saw that his second brother was loyal to the Mongolian Kingdom, so he became murderous."
Xu Heng sighed, filled with regret.
"I came here to tell Marshal Yang some great news. I think he would be overjoyed if he knew about it. What a pity."
The three uncles and nephews of the Yang family looked at Xu Heng solemnly. They saw Xu Heng put down the hand stroking his beard and said slowly: "Since the fall of Jin, the world has been in shock for a long time. Although Mongolia is big, its main thing is to kill and conquer captives.
How is it different from the Turks and the Uighurs who have no laws and regulations? I am now lucky enough to assist the Ming Dynasty with all the kings, to rule the Central Xia Dynasty with the Han law, to turn the barbarians into Chinese, to establish the laws and regulations, to establish the unification and the founding of the country..."
As he spoke, he stood up and looked around at the three people sitting there.
"All the kings are the heroes who founded the country."
For the uncles and nephews of the Yang family, just this sentence shows that the great Mongolia gave much more than Li Xia.
No, it is no longer the Great Mongolia...
