After leaving Yang's house, turn left, and within a few steps you will find the Jinyiwei Yamen.
Why was Jinyiwei located here? It is said that he could not find a suitable place at first. The Duke of Guo walked around for a while, and there happened to be a vacancy next door, so he said that this place is good.
"Helian Baihu!"
When the disciple saw that he came from Yang's house, his face was reddish, and he smelled of alcohol, he smiled even more sincerely.
"Hard."
He Lianrong knew why his disciple had become so friendly, and he still responded with a smile as before.
Young people will hold their heads high and deal with problems in a high-spirited manner, feeling that the world belongs to them.
He is not old, but he has experienced more than many old people.
He has seen too many of the ups and downs of the sea of people, and has seen too many of those nagging people with bad consequences.
Therefore, plainness is the truth.
"There are hundreds of households in Helian." A small official said with a walking salute.
He Lianrong nodded and asked, "Is the commander here?"
"The commander is waiting for you."
The army was about to go on an expedition, and He Lianyan had a lot of things to do. He arranged for spies to go out first to find out the news and see if they could sneak into the city...
When they arrived outside the duty room, He Lianrong said softly: "Commander, I would like to see you, my subordinate He Lianrong."
He Lianyan, who was looking at the roster, looked up and said, "Come in!"
"yes!"
He Lianrong went in.
He Lianyan said: "I have just made a reservation for more than ten people and will order them to set off later."
"yes!"
He Lianrong took the book, glanced at the names marked with red pen, and then put the list in his chest.
"The Duke invites you to drink, do you know the intention?" He Lianyan asked.
"Yes, I have nothing to worry about when I am a lowly official. I should serve my country loyally."
"I sent the manpower, but it's a pity that it's too late." He Lianyan said: "Now that things have happened, let's deal with Bei Liao and Daliao! What else do you think about Daliao?"
He Lianrong raised his head with desolate eyes, "Xiaguan spent the first half of his life in Daliao. He was born, grew up, studied, took the imperial examination, and became an official. His journey was smooth.
When he first became an official, Xiaguan devoted himself to the Liao Dynasty, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he loved the people like his own son. But once the army was defeated, all his relatives were implicated. Xiaguan wished he could lead an army into Northern Liao and skin He Lianchun alive!
"
"It's human nature." He Lianyan put himself in his shoes and thought for a moment. "When a large army goes into battle, swords and guns have no eyesight. It's enough for the soldiers to die for their country, but there will also be many casualties among the people. What do you think?"
"You want to ask me whether I still have feelings for the people of Daliao?" He Lianrong asked rhetorically.
"You are a smart man." He Lianyan was very satisfied, "Yes."
He Lianrong said: "To say there is no affection is a bit false. During the last expedition to Neizhou, after the city was broken, the army strangled the remaining defenders, and many people in the city were killed or injured. The lower official looked at a woman holding her dead child and howling.
Crying, at that moment, Xia Guan felt sad."
"After all, we are of the same race."
He Lianyan said: "I am different from you. When I was young, my whole family was wiped out. Therefore, I have no affection for Daliao. I don't shy away from your affection."
He Lianrong raised his head and said, "Thank you very much, Commander."
"If you are ruthless, I will ask the Duke for instructions not to allow you to participate in confidential matters in the future." He Lianyan smoothed the long hair that fell in front of her eyes, "A ruthless person is ruthless to everyone and cannot be reused."
"I made this mistake by mistake," He Lianrong said with a smile.
"Did it happen by accident?" He Lianyan asked.
He Lianrong smiled bitterly, "I can't hide anything from the commander."
"From today on, you will be another He Lianrong, and you will live your life serving the Duke of our country."
"yes!"
As soon as I got up, two guards came outside looking at the dusty Jin Yiwei.
"Commander."
He Lianrong saw a burden.
"But..." His cheeks trembled.
A Jin Yiwei nodded, "Helian Baihu, please give me my condolences!"
He Lianrong sniffed, "How did they die?"
"After being exiled there, they had to work every day. When most people get there... just say that when the two of us got there, let alone work, it was freezing cold."
"Be more direct." He Lianyan said.
"Yes. I brought wine with me and used it to interrogate the few remaining prisoners. I learned that they were kidnapped by the savages. I followed him and searched outside the tribe. I captured one person and tortured him.
I learned... that they were killed and left in the wild to be eaten by wild animals."
He Lianrong asked calmly: "Do you know how you were killed?"
To ask about such a tragic thing... Jin Yiwei lowered his head, "In that place, as long as there is a woman... As for the men, they are not picky about food."
"knew."
He Lianrong took the baggage and saluted, "Thank you two brothers for taking the risk of taking this trip."
"You're welcome."
He Lianrong went out carrying his baggage.
He found a shovel and a hoe, then went to the coffin shop, and agreed with the boss to deliver the coffin outside the north gate later, and then rode out of the city.
When he left the city, a sergeant saw that he was carrying these things and couldn't help being happy, "Is Helian Baihu going to open up wasteland?"
"Yes! Open up wasteland!" He Lianrong smiled.
After exiting the north gate and going straight ahead, there is a ditch on the edge of a field.
The water channel is straight and there are lush trees on both sides.
“This place is nice!”
He Lianrong dismounted.
He found a place and dug it with a hoe first, and found that the soil was of good quality.
"This is it! Madam?"
He looked at the baggage, and then smiled, "You like water, and you always say that people who like water have good hearts. There are trees by the water, so you have nothing to do and lead your children to stand under the trees and look at the endless countryside in front of you. It's so beautiful.
Isn’t it beautiful?”
A tear rolled down his face.
He started digging.
He lost his left hand, so it was very difficult to dig with one hand, and it was difficult to control the range.
More than an hour later, a large car came slowly.
"Helian Baihu!"
In order to please this powerful figure in Jinyiwei, the owner of the coffin shop personally delivered the coffin.
"Why do you want a small one? The big ones are the same price!" the shopkeeper got off the carriage and said with a smile.
But the bigger the coffin is, the more expensive it is!
"They are just clothes. They don't need to be too big. They don't like them if they are empty."
"Cenotaph?"
"yes!"
Seeing that he was having difficulty digging with one hand, the shopkeeper said: "Young man has also farmed before, so why don't you come and do it!"
"No."
He Lianrong pointed to the side, "Put the things down and go back first!"
"good."
After the coffin was unloaded, the shopkeeper asked again: "You really don't need help?"
"Need not!"
He Lianrong continued digging until evening.
He opened the coffin and unpacked the bags.
The clothes in the bag were messy and torn beyond sight.
He knelt down and straightened out his clothes bit by bit.
Then, put the clothes in the coffin.
"It's not that I don't have money to buy a coffin. I thought it would be fun for the whole family to be together!"
He knelt beside the coffin and looked carefully at the clothes, especially the women's clothes and the children's clothes.
The sun sets, and the orange light illuminates the earth.
A man knelt beside the coffin and cried hoarsely: "Madam, Da Lang..."
Farmers returned home in twos and threes, and flocks of birds returned to their nests, chirping.
He Lianrong pushed the coffin into the pit with all his strength.
He was kneeling on the ground, panting and sweating profusely.
Looking at the coffin, he choked up and said: "I am not a good husband, nor a good father. You left, leaving me alone to suffer in this world. I wanted to follow, but the thief is still there, and he is still an emperor."
The ancients are still there, and they are becoming more and more fierce. I hate them!"
He raised his head and slapped his cheek with his right hand.
"I hate it!"
He lowered his head suddenly and hit his forehead heavily on the ground.
The face is also close to the ground.
Sound burst out from the cracks in the soil.
"He Lianchun, from Shegu..."
In the distance, Uda turned his horse around.
All the way back to Yang's house.
"Buried outside the north gate?"
"yes."
It was not suitable to bury people outside the north gate, but He Lianrong still put the tombs of his wife, children and family there.
"To the north!"
Yang Xuan understood He Lianrong's thoughts at this moment.
"He wants his wife and children to watch my northern Xinjiang army march northward until it breaks through Ningxing City and destroys Helianchun. Maybe there are still Shegu people."
This is a good thing.
Uda said: "It was really uncomfortable to see him kneeling there crying."
"Who can feel better when losing his wife or son in middle age?" Yang Xuan said.
"My lord." A maid came out, "The prince said it's time to tell a story."
"Come here."
Tell A Liang a story every day. This is the agreement between father and son.
A Liang sat in his seat early, surrounded by swordsmen and riches.
"Aye!"
Yang Xuan came in.
Fugui came over enthusiastically and wagged his tail.
The swordsman glanced at him and lay down again.
"Today we will tell a story about a foodie. It is said that in Chen Guoshi, someone liked to eat fish..."
After listening to the story, it was getting dark.
It is the habit of many people to go to bed after dark.
It's said to be a habit, but actually it's a helpless move.
Candles are expensive and lamp oil is not cheap. Who can light a lamp at night?
Moreover, many things do not require lighting up or even extinguishing the lights.
If you want to go to the toilet, there are dry poles at home, so click on one.
On the second day, Yang Xuan went to the Jiedushi Mansion.
"The food and grass are in place."
Liu Qing handed a brochure to Yang Xuan.
"We harvested a lot of food last year, so there is no shortage. However, we are afraid of enemy troops attacking the food road along the way."
"I will first find a place as a foothold!"
"where?"
"Baode!"
There are five cities in Kunzhou, and Baode is close to Neizhou.
"Strong attack?" Song Zhen asked.
Yang Xuan shook his head, "No, a thunder strike."
"Who should I let go?" Song Zhen asked.
Such a surprise attack requires the general to be decisive and must not be sloppy.
"Second brother!" Yang Xuan said, "Tu Shang assists."
It's time for Wang Laoer to take the lead. This time, making him the vanguard is the beginning.
"In this way, Baode is the key point of this battle. If Baode cannot be captured, the army will have nothing to rely on. Once the surrounding enemy forces gather, this battle will probably have more twists and turns." Song Zhen frowned, "Let Wang Laoer
go……"
If that stick gets impulsive, Tu Shang won't be able to control it!
"I said, if something bad happens this time, don't even think about dried meat in the future."
After explaining some things that happened after he left, Yang Xuan went out.
"The Duke."
He met He Lianrong outside the door.
This man's eyes were bloodshot and he looked a little gentle.
There are fewer bonds than before.
"Good job!"
"yes!"
Yang Xuan then went to metaphysics.
"Leaving tomorrow?"
Ning Yayun didn't see A Liang, and her enthusiasm suddenly went away.
"Yes, we will go on an expedition tomorrow. Master, please don't go this time!"
"Let me take charge of Tao County?"
"Yes." Yang Xuan said: "No one can tell whether troops will be sent here or Chang'an will send people to do something. I can rest assured that you are in charge of Taoxian."
"Go with peace of mind!" Ning Yayun waved her tail.
"Why are your words so perfunctory?"
"Then I wish you a triumphant victory."
"It's still perfunctory."
Lao Shuai Guo said dissatisfiedly: "After you leave, tell them that A Liang will send him over every few days, so I can teach him a lesson."
"Don't teach him those silly things."
Ning Yayun stood up and opened her hands, "Do you think I'm nagging?"
Yang Xuan took a closer look and said, "Oh my God!"
…
In the early morning of the second day, Yang Xuan got up early.
First I went to see my two sons who were still sleeping soundly, and then went to Zhou Ning’s place to say goodbye.
"Be careful!"
"rest assured."
Yang Xuan left the house and saw a crowd of people outside.
The Horned Dragon Guards, the guards brought by Uda... and the Jinyi Guards.
Jiang He'er stood behind him, watching this scene and couldn't help but yawn.
"Set off!"
It was still dark when Yang Xuan walked out of the alley.
In the distance, Ning Yayun stood under the eaves, watching him walk out.
"Take care of yourself!"
Then, Ning Yayun turned around and left.
Elegant figure.
Yang Xuan arrived outside the city.
Sixty thousand troops are waiting in formation.
"I've met the Duke!"
The shouts of 60,000 people brought the whole city to life.
"The Duke of the Kingdom has gone to war!"
Those people were no longer sleepy. Even though they knew they would not be able to see him off in time, they still got up, dressed, washed, and went out of the city.
But when they arrived, there was nothing in the open space.
An old man looked into the distance and said, "The prince is leaving in triumph!"
"Definitely triumphant!"
The entire northern Xinjiang is looking at the north.
Countless people were praying, and some were cursing.
"He's gone."
Zhao Yun got up early and his eyeballs were a little big.
"Yes, I left early yesterday morning."
A maid brought tea, Zhao Yun took a sip, rinsed it a few times, and spit it into the spittoon held by another maid.
In the morning light, he looked north.
said.
"Don't come back!"
…
Ta-ta-ta!
Three thousand cavalry were galloping.
The morning fog has not yet dissipated, and the sound of horse hooves shook the earth.
Someone from the front shouted: "We found a traveler from Beiliao!"
Wang Laoer said, "Kill!"
There were screams from ahead.
Tu Shang followed and said, "Lao Er, what do you think?"
This time Wang Laoer was the vanguard and led an army to raid Baode. Yang Xuan ordered Tu Chang to accompany him. One was the counselor and he restrained Wang Laoer.
Wang Laoer said: "There are travelers, which means Baode has not discovered us yet."
He glanced at Tu Shang and said, "Tu Gong, when you smile...the wrinkles on your face look like one thing."
"What?"
"chrysanthemum!"
Wang Laoer galloped his horse, "Let's go!"
Three thousand cavalrymen, each riding two, roared away.
Beside the road, two corpses were lying there, their eyes dull.
…
In Baode City.
Jinyiwei Xiaoqi Tao Zhun and three of his men were squatting behind the city gate.
He looks like a beggar.
He looks no different from a beggar.
All the places in the city where people could beg for money were occupied. Tao Zhun led three of his men to kill a group of beggars occupying the south gate the night before, and he became the boss of Nancheng.
Ma Gui looked at a group of scouts coming in from outside the city and whispered: "It seems they haven't noticed yet."
Qin Er sat against the wall, folded his hands in his sleeves, and sniffed, "The commander said before departure that our main purpose is to harass and contain. There are not many sergeants here at the south gate, so this is easy."
Ma Gui said happily: "Yes! You can get the credit easily."
Seeing Tao Zhun's silence, the two asked, "But that's wrong?"
