"Brother Wu, what are you talking about? Which brother was killed, is it Xiao Renxia!?" After hearing Wu Song's exclamation, Han Shizhong immediately faded the joking look on his face, and hurriedly asked Wu Song.
Wu Song didn't say a word, and he didn't know whether it was because of anger or grief. His body began to tremble slightly. Suddenly, Wu Song looked up to the sky and roared, like an angry tiger! He flew up again and kicked a ball beside him. The log used to make the crossbar of the horse was kicked into the air! The extremely heavy log circled twice in the air and hit the ground hard, causing a splash of slush!!
The prison officer not far from Wu Song was caught off guard and sat down on the ground in fright. Several sergeants around him heard the sound and dared to come. When they saw Wu Song's terrifying face, they stood still for a while. Most people in the military camp knew Wu Song. He was a fierce man who was decisive in killing and strong-willed. Seeing his eyes splitting with grief and anger, no one dared to come forward to ask for advice.
"Brother's ghost is not far away. As the elder brother, I must take the initiative to avenge you! Don't say that you were killed in the Liao Kingdom. If I know which thief did it, I will kill him even in the heaven and the sea. I disemboweled my dog’s head and dug out its heart to sacrifice my brother’s spirit in heaven! But now the letter is not clear, and you ask me how to avenge you!!??”
At this time, Wu Song's eyes were blood red, and he roared to the sky at the top of his lungs, as powerful as a mad tiger!
At this time, Han Shizhong had a rare serious look on his face. He hurriedly stepped forward to hold Wu Song down and repeatedly advised: "Second brother, the sky is unpredictable, and people have temporary misfortunes and blessings. Xiao Renxia has passed away, and you are in mourning." It won’t help!”
Wu Song, who was full of rage due to grief, had nowhere to vent. After listening to Han Shizhong's words, he glared at Han Shizhong with a pair of moves like thunder and lightning! Wu Song fiercely shook his arm to break Han Shizhong away. But Han Shizhong also had brute strength. He tried his best to hold Wu Song down, and the two were in a stalemate for a while.
"Po Han Wu! Get away from me! You must know that I, Wu Song, recognize you, but my fists do not recognize you!" Wu Song finally threw Han Shizhong away, pointed at him and shouted angrily.
Han Shizhong was almost thrown to the ground by Wu Song. He staggered a few steps. As soon as he regained his balance, he blocked his neck, walked up to Wu Song, and said loudly: "What do brothers do? Second brother Wu, you and me Xiao Renxia is a sworn brother with deep loyalty, and I, Han Wu, and you are also brothers and sisters who live and die together! You are angry and suffocating in your heart, and there is no place to vent it. The family knows, come on! I, Han Wu, will let my second brother give me a good beating, and I will vent my anger. Spread the resentment in your heart!"
"You!!" Wu Song's thick eyebrows were raised. He raised his fist in the air, and Han Shizhong raised his chest again. The two gasped and stared at each other for a long time. Finally, Wu Song cursed angrily, Suddenly he sat down on the ground.
Han Shizhong let out a long sigh. After Wu Song's mood calmed down a little, he slowly walked forward, leaned over and stretched out his hand to Wu Song, and pulled him up.
Wu Song and Han Shizhong were speechless for a while. After a long time, Wu Song said: "I want to go back to Daming Mansion. Last time I said goodbye to my sworn brother, I didn't expect that we would be separated forever... He is now gone." If he is gone, he has to go back under the stars at night to mourn and offer sacrifices. During the fasting and feasting, how can he be without me, his sworn brother, leaving his brother lonely? What’s more... How did my sworn brother get killed? I have to go there in person. , to ask for a clear explanation!”
Han Shizhong nodded, and after a while, he also said: "Brother Wu, I will go with you! Back then, the Sa family was also valued by Xiao Renxia. I am sorry that a good man knows a good man, so I should kowtow in front of his grave anyway.
, it’s the incense stick.”
The look of sorrow on Wu Song's face was still there, but he had calmed down a bit. He hesitated a little, and then said: "But we, Wu Erlang, are not sick now. We are wounded by a golden sword. How can we report to the military commander?"
I got the leave, left the military camp and went back to attend the funeral."
"It doesn't matter. We, the Song Dynasty, and the Xia Kingdom are not at war. As usual, those of us who are guarding the border can apply to the military commander for approval and ask for leave for a hundred days... The Sa family has some connections, and we can manage them from top to bottom.
It’s not difficult to do it once.”
A thorn in the army like Han Shizhong. Although Pingxiacheng offended many colleagues and superiors in Yan'an Prefecture, he also had close friendships with many low-level generals in the army. In addition, he repeatedly violated military discipline.
He remembered many ancestral regulations better than ordinary soldiers. However, it was not the time to joke now, so Han Shizhong told Wu Song in a serious manner, telling him that he had a way to teach the two of them to go back to the Xiao family in Daming Mansion to mourn.
Wu Song nodded silently. Now he just wanted to take a step to Hebei. After the two discussed again, Han Shizhong left early and asked his familiar colleagues in the military department to do a favor and approve their leave of absence and leave the camp...

Xiao Tang still didn't know that he was given the posthumous title of "Wu Jing", nor did he know that Song Huizong Zhao Ji very generously posthumously named him, the fifth-rank Marquis of Du Yu, and promoted him to the second-rank Signature Privy Council.
The official rank of military commander was promoted to the rank of Jiedushi. Among them, signing a letter to the Privy Council was a dispatch with real power. Moreover, although Jiedushi did not hold real power, he usually did not go to the state government to manage political affairs. However, this false title was also used by the Song Dynasty.
Xing Wuerlang regarded it as an extremely honorable gift.
However, in recent years, among the Jiedushi envoys conferred by Zhao Ji, there are also favored ministers such as Yang Jian, Zhu Meng, Gao Dunfu (the father of Gao Qiu) who have never had any military exploits, so in the Xiao Tang Dynasty, it was also known that he was still relatively junior.
When he was granted the title of Jiedu by Song Huizong, he didn't know whether to praise Zhao Ji for being very interesting or to scold him for being a foolish king...
What's more, there are also posthumous gifts such as the Shangzhu Kingdom Military Honor and the founding Marquis of Henghai County. In fact, after the Founding Marquis, the two titles of Founding County Duke and Founding County Duke were awarded only to ministers with outstanding merits in the early days of the Song Dynasty.
, and then until Song Huizong ascended the throne, meritorious officials were basically not awarded.
According to Xiao Tang's knowledge, the famous ministers and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty who were also named the founding marquis of the Song Dynasty were also named as the founding marquis of the Song Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, he was praised as Yama Luo Bao Lao and was awarded the title of Bao Zheng and Bao Longtu, the founding marquis of Donghai County... that is to say
, if Xiao Tang is promoted to a noble title again, he can only be the remaining county king, and the Duke can be given the title of almost the most powerful minister...
Alas, after all, I have "died in the line of duty", but when I return to the capital, will these posthumous titles and honors be invalidated? Xiao Tang can't make a guess on this matter. It seems that throughout the dynasties,
There has never been such a big mistake before, so it can be used as a reference for Xiao Tang.
Now in charge of the affairs of the military and state, Xiao Tang, the marquis who has the power to discuss national border defense, the recruitment of forbidden troops, and the dispatch of troops for expeditions with superior officials, is also the governor of the military and military affairs, and is busy commanding the people under his command.
The green forest men and horses went to fight with another group of bandits and strongmen from the Liao Kingdom. Just when Wu Song, who was far away in Pingxia City on Qinfeng Road, just learned of the news of Xiao Tang's death, Xiao Tang had already led his army into the Kaiping territory of Pingzhou and fought with Wang Bolong.
A group of gangsters under his command met each other...
As for the plot of Wu Song and Han Shizhong who were in the Western Army, they were able to take a long leave. According to the historical dissertation "Research on Military Support in the Song Dynasty" found online, page 49 quoted from the "Xuzizhi Tongjian Changbian" written by Li Tao of the Song Dynasty.
