The grass at the foot of Ximing Mountain was luxuriant. Zhang He was running up and down the southern slope like a madman, holding a bundle of fur clothes in his hand and shouting loudly like a mother ape who had lost her son.
More than 8,000 people have disappeared, and Zhang He can name at least 3,000 people. Ten years of imprisonment in Zhongzhongkou has made the more than 10,000 people in Chaoshun Military Division in Youxiang not only robes, but also family members. Now, the remaining
All the robes that were hiding from the cold in Ximing Mountain disappeared.
The traces of the battle were not buried by the wind and sand. The broken weapons, scattered broken arrows, and the blood that fell on the sandstone were still fresh after being carved by the cold wind on the stone. But in Zhang He's eyes, every drop of blood was still fresh.
It represents the fall of a robe.
Crouching at the entrance of a familiar cave, Zhang He frantically used his hands to dig out the soft sand. He had lived in this cave before. In this cave, there were at least thirty brothers huddled here hugging each other to keep warm.
I can't forget the longing looks in the eyes of those brothers before I left.
"I will definitely come back with Qiu Yi, but you must work hard to stay alive. It won't be long before I come back and take you to Ningbian City."
Zhang He still remembers what he said, but where are the brothers who kept saying they would be waiting for him to come back?
A black and blue face appeared in front of him. He carefully brushed off the sand on the face. Zhang He let out a silent scream from his wide-open mouth. He knew this face. It was his brother Zhang Lin.
I have to stay here because my feet are frostbitten.
In the military division of the Shun Army in the right wing of the Chao Dynasty, Zhang Lin, like himself, was a seed specially sent here by the Zhang family. Now, the seed has rotted before it bloomed.
The sadness that followed left Zhang He with no more tears to shed. He dug out caves one after another with his remaining brothers, and then discovered the corpses of his companions one after another. Just look at the opening of the cave.
He knew how the Song army dealt with these brothers hiding in the caves. The black traces of flames at the entrances of the caves showed how terrifying the flames were burning at the entrances of these caves at that time.
The corpses were dug out, and Zhang He carefully dressed every corpse he could find in fur clothes, as if this was the only way to make him feel better.
Three days had passed since he had done all this. Thinking that Wei Ge Ning Ling only had more than 600 men in his hands, Zhang He hurried back to Ningbian City with the two thousand soldiers who were transporting the fur coats.
Wei Ge Ningling, who was standing at the top of the city waiting for Zhang He's return, vomited a mouthful of blood after seeing the small group of soldiers in the wasteland, and then fell unconscious.
Wei Ge Ningling, who woke up in the middle of the night, sat up without saying a word, hugged his knees, looked at Zhang He and said, "Song Jun is still cold?"
Zhang He poured a bowl of water for Wei Ge Ning Ling and waited for him to drink it before saying: "Song Jun!"
"Yun Zheng came in person?"
"Yes, when Beizhi came to Ningbian City, he took a detour to Pianguan River and saw Yunzheng's handsome flag. They did not come to Ningbian City, but went to Baishan Mountain. They heard that a Song army was defeated by Xiao Hu
Surrounded there."
"He Qing's army and Jin Su's army did not come to Ningbian City. They diverted to Xijing. It seems that neither Yun Zheng nor Xiao Dahu paid attention to our existence."
"Commander! Brothers died so miserably!" Zhang He knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Wei Ge Ning Ling smiled and said: "There are no soldiers who are immortal. We can't choose how to die. It's just to kill them back."
"Where do we go from here?"
Wei Ge Ning Ling laughed and said: "Where to go? Brothers have already gone to Huangquan Road first, how can we be spared? Zhang He, we are already a group of dead people, what else to go, the only way to go is Huangquan Road."
"In a humble job, I am not afraid of walking down the road of hell, I am just afraid of walking alone!"
Wei Ge Ningling helped Zhang He up and said with a smile: "No, we will walk this road together. All the generals who are younger than twenty years old will be picked out and take away as much property as they can. I will
Huixiu wrote a letter to Wu Zangqianpang, begging him to let these children go home for the sake of being part of the same party lineage..."
"Commander! We have not surrendered before, and there is no need to surrender now. The only thing we have to do is die, so let's die quickly!" Zhang He's eyes suddenly turned red.
Wei Ge Ningling smiled and patted Zhang He on the shoulder and said: "I have been defeated, so there is no need to lead everyone to die. Compared with the Song people and the Khitan people, the biggest problem of our party is population. Now Song
The people have begun the Northern Expedition. I have no doubt that they will win this time. Zhang He, after the Northern Expedition, the Western Expedition should follow.
The road ahead for the Dangxiang clan is very difficult. I used to think that I was a royal family, so I didn’t fall in the wrong direction. Now it seems that doing so is wrong, and the lives of more than 10,000 Dangxiang clan members have been wasted in vain.
in this pointless fight."
Zhang He said loudly: "The late emperor's decree was for the commander-in-chief to take over the throne. It was because of his own selfishness that you fell into this situation."
Wei Ge Ning Ling shook his head and said: "We have all forgotten one thing. The ancestral rule is that the strongest one is the king. This is how we selected the leader a long time ago. The stronger one wins!
It’s just that we later forgot this rule. At that time, we believed that the strongest and most fertile women were the most beautiful, instead of today’s women who can’t take two steps without gasping for breath, can’t herd cattle and sheep, and can’t give birth to strong children.
people.
At that time, we believed that those who could hunt tigers and bears were the real leaders, not those today who are powerless and only know how to make various rules.
Wu Zang is stronger and smarter than me, so he should become the king of Xixia. Only in this way can we survive in this world.
The late emperor forgot what his ancestors said about fairness, so he died miserably. I forgot what my ancestors said about unity, and that's why I ended up in this situation.
I will ask Wu Zangyu Pang to be king in the letter, and I will tell everyone in Xixia Kingdom my lesson, and ask them not to forget my lesson!"
Zhang He's eyes grew wider and wider, and he opened his mouth several times before saying in a solemn voice: "Could it be that the commander-in-chief wants to take us back to Daxia?"
Wei Ge Ning Ling smiled and said: "You take the young brothers back. I will not go back when I am old. There are brothers waiting for me on Huangquan Road. I don't want them to wait too long. You know, those
If the bastard doesn't have my restraint, he won't be able to win the war in the underworld."
"Commander!"
"Stop talking. When I was searching the city, I found two beautiful women. You can take them away and have a good rest. You will set off back to Daxia in three days!"
Zhang He came out of Wei Ge Ningling's house in a daze. There were two trembling and beautiful women standing outside the door. When he saw him walking out of the house, he suddenly had a flattering smile on his face and put on his most beautiful body.
Show Zhang He one side.
Zhang He roughly picked up a woman and dragged the other woman to his room. At this time, his heart seemed to be blocked by a heavy stone, and there was nowhere to vent the anger under the stone...
Three days later, Wei Ge Ningling was like a monk who had seen through the world. He sent away the five hundred youngest soldiers with a smile on his face. He watched them leave Ningbian City with a large amount of property and women captured in Ningbian City.
The white hair on his head looks extremely dazzling under the blue sky.
It is a very honorable thing and a great tradition for the Xixia army to bring back a large amount of property when they return home. How many times have the Xixia army returned home proudly with their property and accepted the cheers of their elders? This time, although they brought property with them,
He came back, and more than 10,000 Xixia people have already passed away to heaven.
Zhang He resisted the temptation to look back at Wei Ge Ning Ling. This veteran would stubbornly stay in Ningbian City with the remaining two thousand soldiers. Until now, Wei Ge Ning Ling was still thinking hard about how to face the armed forces.
The toothless Song Army was always thinking about how to seek some justice from Yun Zheng for his subordinates who died tragically.
Zhang He understood that Wei Ge Ning Ling, who had become gray-haired overnight, was actually dead when he brought the bad news back to Ningbian City. This gray-haired Wei Ge Ning Ling was just a vengeful ghost who was barely alive, except for this vengeance.
Apart from anger, there is nothing left in that body. (To be continued)
