Chapter 1679: If there are veterans who don't die, I will be happy in Song Dynasty
Chapter 1679: If there are veterans who will not die, our Song Dynasty will be prosperous
Not long after, a thin old man entered the tent!
Just as the old man was about to kneel down and worship, Shen Tang said with a smile, "Old man, there is no need to be polite, just sit down!"
After the old man sat down anxiously, Shen Tang continued to ask, "My father-in-law is also from the Song Dynasty?"
But I don’t know where you are from?”
Xu Shen Tang was kind, and the old man's mood softened a lot, "This general, the old man was originally from Hezhong Prefecture. In the fourth year of Xuanhe, the old man was recruited to accompany the security army to attack the party members!"
"Although a lot of people died, we also won a lot of great victories. We people are not serious officers, we just run around with the army! But the good times did not last long, only more than a year later, at the end of the first year of Jingkang, The imperial court has issued a decree for the army to return to the border as soon as possible, and even needs to be dispatched to Bianzhou."
"The order came very suddenly, so the serious soldiers and horses returned first, while we auxiliary soldiers and civilians were left behind to retreat slowly!"
"After the main force left, the party members attacked and killed us again. We suffered heavy casualties, so we just ran away! At that time, the rebel army couldn't tell the direction at all, so we just ran away randomly. It wasn't until later, after checking the location clearly, that we But I found that I had reached the Kalachuan area!"
"This is the territory of the Dangxiang people, and we don't dare to stay. But when we return to the east to the Song Dynasty, the Dangxiang troops and horses are indispensable on the border.
Therefore, dozens of fellow villagers and I decided to go south into Tubo territory, and then turned east to return to the Song Dynasty."
"We had no food, we had to avoid being discovered by others, and we were not familiar with the road. We walked for more than a year before we finally arrived in Xining!"
"And most of our dozens of fellow villagers died, leaving only a dozen people left.
However, we are happy to finally be able to return to the Song Dynasty."
"However, when we arrived at the border, the city no longer had soldiers and horses from the Song Dynasty, but was occupied by soldiers and horses from the Jin people! It wasn't until more than a month passed that we finally found out. My home... is gone!"
"The family is gone, the emperor is gone, and even the court is gone! Even the Hezhong Mansion, we don't know if it is still our home!"
The old man said that he was in tears, and it was true. After going out for a trip, he finally found his way home, but his home was gone. This kind of blow was really unbearable.
After a while, the old man stopped crying and continued to tell Shen Tang, "The border at that time was full of soldiers and horses, and we couldn't cross it no matter how we tried. The most important thing was that even if we crossed the border, we didn't know where to go. Where to go.
So, the few remaining fellow villagers and I came to this small town."
"There were many people from the Song Dynasty who had migrated here because of the war in this small town, so our arrival was not unexpected.
Fortunately, with the help of other Song people, we survived and took root here."
"Today, our soldiers and horses from the Song Dynasty enter the city!"
At this point, you can clearly feel the excitement in the old man's words, "Old man, I went to ask, you... are really my soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty..."
The old man couldn't stop crying. After decades, which was almost half a lifetime for the old man, he saw the soldiers and horses of his country again. This feeling is indescribable!
Shen Tang and all the generals in the camp were silent. The helplessness of the people was due to the incompetence of their soldiers! The imperial court had abandoned half of the country. How many people were there like the old man?
There is a home that cannot be returned to, and relatives cannot be seen. Those people in the hall who are all dressed in purple should really be ashamed!
Shen Tang stood up and personally held the old man's rough palm, "Old man, now our troops from the Song Dynasty have arrived, and the home we lost will one day be back!"
The old man looked up at Shen Tang and asked after a long while, "Can I get my lost home back?"
"Yes! It must be possible!"
Hearing this, the old man cried again! Even though the word "home" has been buried deep in his heart, it has still not been erased!
Xin Qiji gritted his teeth and stepped forward to support the old man. He was also born in the North and could empathize with the old man's emotions. "Old man, since my commander-in-chief said he can, no matter whether it is the Jin people or the Party members, they can't stop me! Waiting, waiting, until then, I will personally take you home!"
"The little old man didn't know that it was the commander-in-chief who was in front of him, but he lost his etiquette!"
Bian Xi smiled and supported the old man who wanted to salute, "Old man, my boss is not into this!"
The old man nodded, looked at Shen Tang and asked, "The commander-in-chief has brought his army here. Could it be that our soldiers and horses came here?"
Others said nothing after hearing what was said. This was a military secret.
However, Shen Tang didn't care. First of all, the old man's emotions were genuine, and he couldn't pretend to be sad or happy.
Moreover, now that the old man knows it, he will not let him go easily until he is not sure.
Living in a foreign country, I still feel a certain closeness and tenderness towards my compatriots. Coupled with the story of this veteran, it is even more touching.
Shen Tang asked the old man to sit down again and explained the current situation to the old man. The old man was proud and surprised when he heard that his country actually had such powerful soldiers and horses. Even the party members who were the lords at that time had to bow their heads. The invincible Jin people should also retreat.
"So, the commander-in-chief is here to capture Qingtang City?"
Shen Tang laughed loudly, "It doesn't matter whether we take Qingtang City or not, but since tens of thousands of Tibetan troops dare to challenge our Song Dynasty, how can I not teach them a lesson!"
"Someone just sent word that my father-in-law can help us capture Zongge City?"
"General Commander, not only this Brother City, but also the old man from Qingtang City knows a dog hole!"
"This deserted land is often prone to military disasters. Qingtang City is a big city and the most stable place! However, once military disasters occur, Qingtang City will be closed.
However, for money, the defenders in Qingtang City dug a dog hole in the southeast corner of the city. As long as the people outside could pay some money, they could get in through the dog hole."
"There have been countless military disasters in the past few decades, and I was lucky enough to go in once. I wonder if it will be helpful to the commander-in-chief!"
Shen Tang laughed heartily. If we could capture Qingtang City and connect it with Lintao Mansion, it would be a real surprise.
In fact, the walls of Qingtang City are high and deep, and there is enough food to survive for a year even if it is trapped.
Isn't this a great nail?
If it really works out, this old man will really give himself a big surprise.
"Then I wonder if my husband can still follow the army?"
Shen Tang asked with a smile.
Brush, the old man tried hard to straighten his crooked back, and shouted with all his strength, "Auxiliary Zhao Daniu of the Eighth Team of the Third Battalion of the Security Army, please return to the general's command!"
Shen Tang stood up, solemnly performed a military salute, and murmured, "If there are veterans who will not die, I, the Song Dynasty, will be happy!"
