Holding on to the isolated city with the heart of retribution and death... Unfortunately, this heart alone cannot be regarded as credit. Song Yang came with the feudal armed forces, and Liu Hou did not die. Very literary
Living well, no one wants to die. When Marquis Chang Chun arrived, Liu Hou was happier than anyone else. But in reality, the governor's desire to serve the country was also covered up and the court could not see it.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Ren Churong sees it.
Ren Churong had told Song Yang a long time ago that she was just a woman. She could not see national affairs in her eyes and only thought about her homeland. Liu Hou did not abandon Qingyang and reserved the last important town for Western Xinjiang.
The Wang family retained their last position, and Ren Churong remembered him as a favor.
As for merit... this kind of thing is just a false name for King Zhenxi. The Hongbo Mansion has reached its extreme, and it will become a royal palace if it is raised one level. Even if it can't be promoted even if it builds unparalleled achievements, it will not be promoted.
Back to the subject, when King Jing rebelled, Song Yang almost placed all the dragon chairs in the main hall of Hongbo Mansion, but King Zhenxi himself refused to sit on them.
Not to mention Song Yang, he had no intention of being an official, and he didn't care about credit. So Ren Churong's idea was very clear: the credit of Changchun Marquis is the credit of Qingyang Prefect, let's share it equally!
Liu Hou wanted to kneel down and cry, but he couldn't think of what to say. Song Yang quickly helped him up and drove him away. The Marquis didn't want to argue with Liu Taishou. He still had something to do here, so he ran after Liu Hou left.
I'm looking for Mr. Li Da, His Majesty the Great Hong Sheng Emperor.
Song Yang wants to file a complaint.
‘Bang,’ there was a muffled sound, and Mr. Li Da slapped his hand on the table and said angrily: “It’s outrageous, it’s outrageous!”
Five Thousand Chan Yaksha and Song Yang pursued the enemy together. According to the prior discussion and design, a pursuit of thirty miles was enough. After all, the top priority now was to defend Qingyang.
It makes no difference to Song Yang whether he drives the enemy further or closer. Even if they drive the Tubo people out of Tanglou today, so what, they just make the enemy more embarrassed. Song Yang's manpower is simply incapable of going there.
Occupy the opponent's vacated position and pursue them no matter how far they go. In the end, they have to return and defend Qingyang.
What's more, the reason for the defeat of the Fan army was because the horses were frightened by the big bird. Not long after charging into the battle, Liu's army went to eat and stopped chasing the enemy.
Five thousand people really dared to chase tens of thousands of defeated soldiers, and Song Yang couldn't even persuade him to come back.
Fanzi was not stupid. As he ran, he found that the horses were gradually returning to normal. Then he realized that there was actually a troop of soldiers and horses chasing behind him. He immediately assembled a team of two thousand people and attacked them from the left and the right. Fortunately, Chanyaksha was thinking clearly when chasing the enemy.
Fever, really fighting but still calm
Very well, they were truly elite, and the enemy was a newly defeated division with low morale. In addition, they also took a big advantage: Cicada Yaksha was covered in bird droppings, and the war horses were afraid of the smell. As a result, Dahong's army fought another big battle.
He won the battle and defeated the team that turned around to intercept him.
Five thousand to twenty thousand, the victory was clean and beautiful, but the danger was self-evident. After this battle, Chanyaksha stopped his troops. Counting from the pursuit last night, they had beaten back the enemy for nearly seventy years.
inside.
Winning the war is a good thing. Of course Song Yang will not be angry, but he is somewhat helpless and anxious. Strictly speaking, everything to the west of Qingyang is enemy territory now. Nanli Tanma goes back and forth all day long to investigate the enemy's situation, but for the enemy-occupied areas,
Knowing how difficult it is to say it is difficult, if another enemy army attacks Qingyang while they are away, it will be in trouble, or if they catch up with other people's main force or reserve reinforcements, they will not get any benefit. *Very Literary*
For Cicada Yaksha, Song Yang is just a secret envoy after all. It’s not good to say anything. He can simply ask for the emperor’s holy chariot. In fact, if it were Shanxi barbarians or other armed forces in the feudal city, Song Yang would not pursue the case afterwards.
What, but Cicada Yaksha is a rare and elite soldier that he is really proud of, so he is really worried that they will be greedy for war and suffer losses in the future, so he invites Fenglong to come and beat them.
Zheng Ji did not show any pretense or excuses. He bowed his head to admit his mistake and confessed his crime seriously. Finally, he saluted and said: "I am guilty, please punish me!"
This sentence is really a bit embarrassing. Mr. Li Da looked at the sky, the ground, Li Er, Li San, and then tried to count a few ants on his hands. Finally, he looked at Song
Yang... just say a few words, how can there be any real punishment, but if Fenglong is not punished and Song Yang will be dissatisfied, His Majesty is quite accurate in his positioning. He understands that he, the emperor, is just a decoration. What's the matter?
You still have to listen to Song Yang.
Song Yang didn't really think about punishing him, so he took over the topic with a smile, his voice was relaxed but sincere, and he earnestly advised Zheng Ji to do great things. The team that swallows the world should not be so greedy for success, and there will be many opportunities in the future if they want to fight.
Zheng Ji slightly apologized: "Cicada Yaksha has escaped from the world. From generation to generation, he only hopes to be loyal to the country and show his power on the battlefield. I suppressed it too hard before, but this time I finally had a good fight. I...I couldn't bear it for a moment.
Go and interrupt their fun."
Fenglong's expression softened and he no longer reprimanded or mentioned punishment. On the contrary, he gave a few words of comfort and then told Zheng Ji again that the words of the secret envoy in the future should be my will and no more violation should be allowed.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Ji did not nod hastily this time, but asked with some confusion: "Is the envoy that Long Live mentioned...or Lord Song?"
Of course the secret envoy was Song Yang, there was no doubt about it, but there must be a reason for Zheng Ji's question. Fenglong was afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he looked at Song Yang furtively, but after all, he was born as a serious man, and when he encountered this kind of
There was no confusion on his face during the situation, but instead he frowned, showing some impatience, which was well concealed.
Sure enough, when he saw the emperor's appearance, Zheng Ji was a little flustered. Without waiting for others to ask further questions, he explained: "When I was in the feudal city, I saw... Hu Jing was wearing a token of honor on his hand... and he said he was your majesty.
I am interested in cultivating dolls, Master Song has other tasks..."
Hu Jing is the only son of Master Zuo Prime Minister, Xiaowa Putao.
It's okay that Zheng Ji didn't explain, but such an explanation made people even more confused, and Long Live Master's expression became even more impatient. Song Yang was also confused, but after thinking carefully for a moment, he realized that it seemed to be unintentional
He raised his hand, and his big sleeves dropped down to reveal his forearms, which naturally also revealed the beaded chain that Suhang had given him and which he had always tied to his wrist.
As expected, Zheng Ji was stunned for a moment when he saw the bead chain on Song Yang's wrist. Song Yang smiled naturally: "You are such a boring person. You think you don't think I am a secret envoy because I didn't bring a token. I advise you.
If you withdraw your troops, you'll deal with them half-heartedly."
During the battle, Zheng Ji had a cold and stern look, but on weekdays Zheng Ji was easy-going and laughed: "If you had shown the token earlier, I would have withdrawn my troops."
Song Yang shook his head and said: "It seems that using power to suppress others is not good." The two said a few more words, and Zheng Ji left. Before, he saw the two loyal ministers laughing and talking harmoniously, and Fenglong's face was full of joy.
Happy and relieved, but as soon as Zheng Ji left, he immediately jumped off the throne, ran to Song Yang and asked: "What's going on? What token? Where are you following?"
Song Yang was not in a hurry to explain, and first explained clearly to Fenglong the origin of the two bead chains on his and Little Putao's hands, and then said: "The original intention of Mr. Hu when he sent his son to the fiefdom was to 'enrich the earth and nourish the life roots.
It's a way to avoid disaster,
Praying for blessings, there are no explicit rules for this kind of thing, but it has to be simple and low-key. Besides, Grape is a little girl, so he is always clean and has no accessories, except for the beaded chain I gave him a while ago."
After all, Putao is still a child with a childlike nature. After getting a gift from the teacher, why not show it around everywhere? Of course, it must be shown to the people of Cicada Yaksha. Fenglong also saw the bead necklace on the little baby's hand. At that time, he also
I gave you two compliments.
At this point, things became much clearer. Fenglong thought thoughtfully: "Is that string of beads a token of the Great Flood's envoy?"
Song Yang nodded: "It's possible...and if that's the case...it really makes sense."
The bunch given to Little Grape came from a Han grave among the sand people. A group of Han people appeared in the wilderness inexplicably. They did good deeds without leaving any name and wholeheartedly helped the sand owner unify the whole clan. Xie Zizuo had conducted an investigation on these people.
, but the person involved has long since turned into withered bones and there is no further investigation. Now it seems that if the bead chain is really a status symbol of the Hong Dynasty's secret envoy, the origin and purpose of that group of Han people can't be clearer: they are the loyal descendants of the previous Hong Dynasty.
The bead necklace on Song Yang's hand was obtained by Su Hang from the island. Su Hang once said that when the native gave her the bracelet, he made gestures for a long time, but the captain girl did not understand it and was too lazy to pay attention to its meaning.
I just accepted the gift and pulled it...could it be that there was also a flood back then?
When Chao Yiwei arrived on the island, I didn't know what kind of plot he was planning. In short, he died in the end, and the bead chain was kept as a relic by the natives. Later, when they saw Han people coming to the island, the natives took Su Hang and his party.
He became a companion of the previous group and gave the relic to Su Hang.
It is not surprising that the Great Hong Dynasty left an elite army in the Southern Wilderness, and some people went to the Far North Wasteland to win over the sand people, and then sent a team of people to do things on the Eastern Sea. From this, the ends of the world are
The appearance of identical bead necklaces is somewhat reasonable.
At this time, Song Yang suddenly took a breath of cold air and said in a low voice: "It's really dangerous!"
The emotional cry refers to the process of conquering Cicada Yaksha. If the bead chain is really a symbol of the emissary's identity, then there are probably two keys set by Hong Taizu to activate Cicada Yaksha's seal:
The art of detecting blood and the bead chain are indispensable.
You can pass the blood test, but if you don’t have a bead chain token in your hand, you still won’t be able to pass the test.
Looking back at that time, when Song Yang was pretending to be unconscious in the Yaksha camp, the leader Zheng Zhuan rushed to help him find his pulse. At that time, it seemed a normal reaction, but now that I think about it carefully, Zheng Zhuan is a general and commander-in-chief, and he is not a doctor.
It was never his turn to take the initiative to check on someone else's condition... Maybe Zheng Zhuan didn't want to check for a pulse at all, but just wanted to see the bead chain token.
Fortunately, Su Hang gave him the bead necklace, and even more fortunately, Song Yang pretended to be unconscious, otherwise he would have been told to show him the token. Even if the bead chain was on his wrist, he would not be able to take it out without knowing it, and he would probably be directly executed by Cicada Yaksha as a spy.
.
Song Yang's guess was not made out of nothing. Cicada Yaksha indeed attached great importance to the bead chain token. The simplest reason is that Song Yang was the envoy of the Great Flood. This was something that had long been confirmed, but when Zheng Ji saw Xiao
The child had a string of beads on his hand, and said that Song Yang was dismissed from his post, so he became disobedient when chasing the soldiers. This shows that Cicada Yaksha recognizes objects but not people, and it can also be seen from this that they
The importance attached to tokens.
While taking a breath, Song Yang laughed again: "In other words, if Little Putao flicks his wrist and asks Cicada to help them grab toys, Cicada will also follow it as a military order?"
Fenglong ignored Song Yang. He was thinking about another thing and mused: "Since Hong Taizu left a Cicada Yasha, he might have also designed several other forces to prepare for a comeback in the future when the country is in trouble... So the bead chain is not
There is one, and there is more than one emissary. Everyone has his own tasks and does his own errands."
As the Great Hong Emperor, Feng Long was quite involved in the role, and he was already thinking about exploring the designs left by Hong Taizu.
Song Yang fully understands what he means, but there is really no point in pursuing these now. Even if Hong Taizu hid another 10,000 troops of cicadas and yakshas in various parts of the Middle-Earth, it is useless if they cannot be found. Far water cannot quench the near thirst, and the most important thing at the moment is
There is nothing better than repelling the Fan army. Song Yang shook his head and smiled. At this time, it was almost dusk. He grabbed Fenglong, took his two wives and a group of idlers, and ran to Master Zhou in a lively manner.
It’s time for dinner at home...
In the following days, the detective horses tracked the enemy troops, and reports kept coming. After this battle, the Tibetan advance guard suffered heavy casualties and nearly half of them were lost. After gathering all the troops, the remaining combat troops were only 60,000. They were actually killed by the Nanli people.
In fact, there are not many stories about it. When the formation collapsed and the horses went crazy and trampled on each other, the main cause of casualties was injuries.
Of the 60,000 soldiers, 20,000 were converted from cavalry to infantry. Their horses were lost and could not be found.
At this moment, the Tibetan advance guard was camped eighty miles west of Qingyang, and there was no movement for the time being. I don't know whether they planned to wait for the main force to join up or to regroup and repair before attacking Qingyang.
It is unwise to attack the enemy with Qingyang's current strength, not to mention that he is also led by a general, with advisers to complement him, and the camp he chooses is easy to defend but difficult to attack, so Song Yang will not do anything stupid.
The city of Qingyang is busy again. The soldiers are ready to fight, and the craftsmen and young men are working hard to prepare for the war. The joy brought by the victory gradually fades away, but it only fades away rather than dissipates. It lies dormant in the heart and turns into morale and pride. It is not difficult to
Understand, no
It is difficult to tell, because the atmosphere in Qingyang City has completely changed, from fear to not being afraid; from despair to hope, from waiting for you to kill me to waiting for you to die. This change in feeling is not obvious but definitely not ambiguous.
Anyone can understand.
Moreover, a great victory not only aroused the morale of Qingyang, but in the past few days, many Nanli soldiers who had been dispersed before and fled to the vicinity of Qingyang entered the city; in addition, before the war, Lord Liu Hou sent troops to the city.
The officers sent by nearby cities to ask for reinforcements also returned one after another, more or less bringing some reinforcements. What is certain is that if Qingyang failed to win the battle, no matter whether it was stragglers or reinforcements from the back city, they would not come.
These soldiers and horses gathered together and formed a team of three thousand people. Although the number was small, it was really a surprise for Qingyang now.
Counting from the night of the battle, at noon on the eighth day, military reports came from the front. Fanzi's forward finally completed its repairs and took new actions: more than 20,000 infantrymen slowly came towards Qingyang; more than 30,000
The cavalry did not accompany them. They had other actions. We are not sure yet, but judging from the direction of the cavalry's advance... they probably wanted to bypass Qingyang and attack Yanziping directly.
