Chapter Thirty-Three: Exploring the Horse, Evidence, Head
Update time:2012-10-06
Dashou and other generals wanted to surrender, but Ke Gang refused to obey, so they ordered the two men to take him out of the city and kill him. Ke Gang's color did not change, he did not say a word, and he died with a smile. Ke Gang died, and his body was that of the hungry in the city.
competing for food
The night was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and not a single bird call was heard in the wilderness. There were two occasional calls, but they were the cats and hawks that lay dormant day and night.
On such a dark night, there was a group of soldiers silently moving one carriage after another slowly towards the south.[
The torch was lit from the front to the end of the procession, like a fire dragon in the dark night, lighting up the way for the souls to return home.
"The bull-headed god, the horse-faced god, the big and small gods go around on both sides, accept the treasure and don't block the way. Don't block the way, don't block the way..."
The choked Changping voice was full of sadness. Every time he said it, the paper money in his hand swayed out.
Buy money for the road, buy money for the road, just so that the soul of the brother can return home.
"Second brother, we've passed Jimingyi, and we're in Jinzhou ahead. It's a good idea to stay in the car, don't ask Hei Heichang to take you there. My wife at home is waiting to see you for the last time."
"The baby is only two years old. I'm afraid he won't even be able to call me daddy. When I left home, you were very reluctant to leave me. Every time you took three steps, you turned around with tears in your eyes. It makes people feel sad to see you. Alas, being a daddy
Who doesn’t care about the baby and doesn’t want the baby? Brother, I know you do! I’ve never heard you mention it in the past, and you’re not annoyed when people make fun of you. You’re a good person. Who would have thought of losing his life like this? Just lose it.
Throw it away. Lord Guard is compassionate and has brothers in his heart. I will send you home now. At least I can let you see your child again..."
"Brother, don't worry. My lord is benevolent and will not let your blind old woman have no one to take care of her. I only pity your daughter-in-law and become a widow at such a young age..."
The tears have dried and the voice has become hoarse. The dead will eventually die, and the living will live on.
The living are more painful and sad than the dead.
Go home, go home...
Several shouts from the bottom of their hearts guided these men to move forward step by step.
………
Infected by the sadness of the people on Songshan Mountain, all the five hundred Liaodong cavalrymen also looked sad. During the day, they witnessed the bloody battle between Songshan Army and Jiannu, and they admired these men who would rather die than retreat. Now, they are even more generous.
Dayong's righteous deed of transporting corpses thousands of miles was exciting. They believed that what the guard told them during the day would be fulfilled!
Without orders, all the Liaodong cavalry were speechless. Although the knights under them were a little impatient, they still carefully controlled the speed of their horses. No one dared to take a step beyond the carriages carrying corpses.
The dead are great. No matter how arrogant they usually think of themselves as being good at fighting, they must follow them silently now.
Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong, the two generals, had been following Shi Dayong. Shi Dayong briefly asked them about their situation along the way. Knowing that these two people were both from the Zu Dashou family, he couldn't help but be wary of them, fearing that these two people
It was Zu Dashou's spy on his subordinates.
But along the way, observing their behavior and listening to their conversations, they all admired themselves for their unyielding behavior in the bloody battle during the day, and their words were very respectful. They were not at all arrogant like those who were in charge of the vanguard. With Huang An and Shao Wu
General Songshan and others were also very polite. Judging from the surface, Shi Dayong could not tell whether these two people had any instructions from Zu Dashou to embarrass him or spy on him secretly.
After passing the Jiming Post, Shi Dayong suddenly laughed at himself. He was just a small guard. Even if Zu Dashou's promise came true, he would only be a third-grade general. He was said to be a third-grade general, but looking at Liaodong, this
The generals are all over the place. Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty is a noble and military general. In the eyes of the civil servants, he is not even as good as a seventh-grade county magistrate. I am afraid that any civil servant of the fifth or sixth grade would dare to kill him without permission.
Killing yourself is like how Yuan Chonghuan dared to kill an army lieutenant colonel when he was just a Sipining frontman.
Since you will be an important little player now and in the future, why do you have to deceive yourself and others, put money on your face, and wishfully think that the commander-in-chief Ren Zu is not trusting you and spend such a huge amount of money to monitor you? [
It must be said that the price is too high. Five hundred cavalry is a very important force. If it is placed in the pass, it is the strength of the general army. That is to say, his ancestor Dashou is rich and powerful. If it were replaced by other generals,
Who would be so bold as to cut a piece of meat for themselves?
Perhaps Zu Dashou was not as unbearable as he thought, or perhaps he had a heart to cherish heroes, or perhaps he felt guilty for his failure to save himself, so he decided to give him a hand.
Don't look at people today with the mentality of people from later generations, let alone think that you are some big shot or have great abilities, or think that everyone who treats you well has different plans for you.
As a human being, be patient. After surviving such a bloody battle, there is nothing you can't let go of or think about.
You know that people are interested in you, but you don't know that you are also interested in others.
Take one step at a time, and the road ahead may be smooth or uncertain.
…………
After walking for another seven or eight miles, the cavalry battalion leading the way rushed over with General Sun Youjin on horseback and asked Shi Dayong for instructions: "Sir, our brothers have been driving all the way. Should we stop and let everyone rest before leaving?"
From the time they set off from Daling River to now, except for a brief fire break and a meal at Jimingyi, the team has not stopped at any time. They need to take a rest. Besides, Songshan Mountain is now immersed in grief, and grief has turned into the strength to move forward.
Although this power can temporarily forget fatigue, if it is not relieved appropriately, it can easily cause physical and psychological troubles to people.
Shi Dayong understands Zhang Chi's principle. Just like when he gambles, he doesn't put all his money in. This place is also close to Jinzhou, and it won't delay things for a while. Thinking of this, Shi Dayong nodded and said:
"That's fine. Send the order and let the whole army rest."
"Yes, sir!"
Sun Youjin responded immediately and ran forward cautiously by the light of the torch, whispering the rest order while running.
After hearing the order, the convoy slowly stopped. The soldiers leaned on the carriage and talked to each other, or stared blankly at the black horizon in the distance, or stared blankly at their comrades in the car.
The five hundred cavalrymen brought dry food with them when they left the city, and they all took it out to eat now. Li Yizhong asked people to take some and send it to the Songshan Army. Some people took it, but some shook their heads and did not take it, as if to express their disdain for the Liaodong soldiers and horses.
There are also prejudices, and they don't even have a good impression of the five hundred cavalry who have been classified as Matsuyama Army.
Seeing this, Shi Dayong had no choice but to hope that time would dilute his subordinates' resentment towards the Liaodong soldiers. After all, it was Zu Dashou who gave the orders, and it was Zu Dashou who refused to go out of the city to rescue.
All grievances have their origins and debts have their owners. If you really want to settle accounts, you should go to Zu Dashou.
However, not all the Liaodong generals in Dalinghe City are as cold-blooded as Zu Dashou. The deputy generals He Kegang, Zhang Cunren and the guerrilla Gao Guanghui are good and worth making friends with. Listen to their wishes and fight Zu Dashou to death.
There are opinions even if we don’t save him.
Huh? He Kegang!
Shi Dayong suddenly shuddered, and his face instantly turned ugly because he remembered - who is that He Kegang!
Isn't he the same He Kegang who was ordered by Zu Dashou to beheaded at Dalinghe City in front of tens of thousands of Jin soldiers because he opposed Zu Dashou's surrender?
Isn't he the loyal minister He Kegang who smiled until death and never said a word?
So majestic, how can you be so powerful![
………
Shi Dayong respected righteous men and loyal ministers the most, and the tragedy of He Kegang being killed for refusing to surrender made him heartbroken.
In order to ensure that his loyal ministers would not die in vain, Shi Dayong decided to tell the governor Qiu Hejiali the fact that the Hou Jin army was coming and that all tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dalinghe City would be destroyed by the enemy no matter what.
No matter what method is used, He Kegang must be saved!
Shi Dayong secretly made up his mind, constantly thinking about how to use the best and most credible words to persuade Qiu Hejia to order Zu Dashou to withdraw immediately.
Even if this makes your promotion path more difficult and bumpy, you should still try your best.
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the rapid sound of horse hooves coming from ahead.
Hearing the sound of hoofbeats, the dozens of cavalry battalion brothers who were leading the way immediately threw away the dry food in their hands, stood up on their horses, drew their knives in their hands, and looked nervously at the dark front.
The sound of hoofbeats was getting closer and closer. After seeing the firelight that suddenly appeared in front of me, the sound of hoofbeats suddenly stopped. In the darkness, I heard someone asking: "Who is that person in front? Is he a subordinate of the forward general?"
"We are the Songshan Army." Sun Youjin called out on his horse, waving his hands to signal his men to put down their swords. The attackers were coming from the direction of Jinzhou, and they were definitely not Tatars.
"Matsuyama Army?"
Hearing Sun Youjin's answer, someone on the opposite side exclaimed and whispered, obviously not believing that they were really the Songshan Army. A moment later, someone shouted: "Tanma came to report that your Songshan Army has been established."
How come you are surrounded by slaves here? Are you pretending to be slaves and are here to defraud Jinzhou City?"
As soon as these words came out, Sun Youjin immediately became angry and cursed: "Fuck you, mother, I almost lost my life after fighting with the Tatars, but yesterday I became a Tatar in your mouth."
He's in disguise! Grandma, open your eyes and see, there are all my brothers lying in these carriages!"
There was silence on the other side, as if they were discussing something. Soon, the person who asked the question before called again: "Brothers opposite, are you brothers from Songshan? It's hard for us to tell for a while. You also know that Jiannu has many tricks.
, they like to find people who can disguise themselves and sneak into the city to serve as internal agents, and then open the city gate to let their army in. So for the sake of safety, you'd better show evidence that you are the Songshan Army. Otherwise, we will return to the city to report to the governor.
My lord, it is clear that you are slaves in disguise."
After hearing this, Sun Youjin was furious: "I'm alive and well. This is proof. What the hell do you want? Daling River City is still in the hands of our army. If we are really Tatars in disguise, how can we
You came here from under their noses? If you keep talking too much, I will lead my troops to attack you, you son of a bitch!"
Just as he finished speaking, his body was pulled by someone. When he turned around, he saw it was Lord Guard.
After asking Sun Youjin to stop yelling, Shi Dayong raised his voice and said to the other side: "I am Songshan Guard Shi Dayong. If you want evidence, I will give you evidence. Go on!" As he said this, he threw something to the opposite side.
It was dark and cold, and no one knew what Shi Dayong had unleashed.
But a cry came out from the other side: "The human head, it's a human head, it has braids, it's the head of a slave!"
