"...The sunset clouds are full of red~ The heroes in the army are all Kansai-born~
Ne Zai yo, Daheng Mountain, killing the enemy chief~Meier yo, in the ravine, thinking of Ne~
Nana girl is so beautiful~ You messed up my brother's heart~
The girl's figure is swaying in the wind~it makes her brother feel greedy~
When my brother looks forward to good times, he will go looking for his sister and he will come to his door~
Hug the girl's slim waist~ Your mouth tastes better than meat~..."
In a mountain shade at the intersection of Jiangzhou and Gaizhou on Hedong Road, a burst of majestic and penetrating song suddenly sounded. The song was somewhat similar to Xintianyou, which is popular in many areas in northwest China, but it was originally
The tune is about marching in the army, and it sounds desolate and majestic, but who knows that the man singing the song adds a lot of love between men and women, brother loves sister, etc.
Come on.
In addition to the soldier who was shouting loudly, there were nearly six battalions of men and horses resting around him. The life in the military was harsh, especially reflected in the instinctive pursuit of women by men, but indeed they were just dispatched by some military superiors.
The bulk of the soldiers. Because many of the soldiers in the Song Dynasty were soldiers who had been forced into the army and poor families who could not afford to eat, the saying that good men should not be soldiers was also widely spread. Although they were brave and good at fighting, many people still despised them for doing so.
A bunch of vulgar bastards.
Since material life is scarce, these soldiers also need the support of a kind of spiritual strength. To have fun in the northwest, as a way of expression and vent is to howl sour folk songs to dilute the suffering and reality.
Loneliness. Whether it is border soldiers or poor people, this is one of the reasons why folk songs full of northwest style have been passed down to later generations.
It's just that now, the military man with a beard, about thirty years old, was howling happily, but not far away, another man stood up and cursed: "Hu Laoliu, you are a coward! What are you yelling at?
If you want to find a wife, you just talk about it in your heart, which makes me very annoyed!"
The soldier known as Hu Laoliu stared at him and cursed in a dialect: "What? You are not allowed to drink alcohol during the march, and I already had a bird in my mouth. How can I do that?"
You are not allowed to let me sing? You, my son, can teach you how to bite a hammer!"
The two military men became more and more stiff as they talked. They seemed to be trying to fight with each other with their arms and sleeves folded. The military men who were resting next to them not only did not stop them, but instead started shouting and making noise in unison. Four or five of them even took out some coins.
Broken Silver pointed at the two soldiers, as if he wanted to place a bet on who could defeat the other.
Although this group of officers and soldiers seems to have lax military discipline and is unruly and unruly, it can be roughly seen from the look and temperament of each of them that almost all the soldiers and horses in these six battalions are used to licking blood from the edge of a knife.
They are a group of ruthless people who will not hesitate to kill anyone with a knife.
"Ne said that if you two have enough strength, why not kill a few more thieves to get reward? Hu Laoliu, how much gambling debt do you owe? If you don't kill more thieves to get reward, I'm afraid it won't be enough.
Is it the hole you dug?"
At this time, suddenly a general wearing the official uniform of an army commander spoke up. After hearing this, Hu Laoliu spat again and said angrily: "Straight bitch! Although we are playing around to make money,
I owe a little money, but if there are too many lice, I won't bite you. If there are too many debts, I won't worry. I'll bet straight and slowly fill in the holes. Why?
But the commander of Qin heard that the imperial court was about to use troops against the Xia people. I would just kill a few more Xia soldiers by then. I really wanted to rush to Hengshan and fight a few more times. After asking for the reward, not only could I repay the debt, but I might not be able to pay it back. If you can be promoted to a higher rank, you can also be a commander..."
When Commander Qin heard this, he laughed and scolded: "Hu Laoliu, you are a fool! Look at your performance, why do you still want to be promoted? Come on, come on, I will let you do the work of the commander, you are a bitch!" Should I take it seriously?”
The officers and soldiers in groups nearby laughed loudly when they heard this, while Hu Laoliu blushed, but still said angrily: "Commander Qin, that's not what you said. I can't just be a leader in the army." We will live together for the rest of our lives. If we really go to fight with the Xia Kingdom, I might as well tuck my head in my belt and risk my life to gain fame. I originally planned to take advantage of the peace in the surrounding area and take some time to return home to see my parents. There is a girl in the village who is eye-catching with me. Who the hell knows that the military commander suddenly ordered us to help conquer the Hedong thieves? With eighteen generations of ancestors, we guard the boundaries of the Yongxing Military Road and often fight with the Party Qiang people. Fighting is a life-threatening act, but banditry in other prefectures and military prefectures also requires us to deal with the aftermath. Commander Qin, let me say this with conscience in mind, are you not annoyed?"
Commander Qin laughed loudly and clapped his chest and said loudly: "How angry is the Sa family? You idiots are so ignorant. Have you ever heard that it is necessary to work hard for those who are capable? Who asked the other imperial guards to guard other state capitals? What a bunch of eggless cowards, why are we all soldiers of the Western Army! The idiots in the Qian army did nothing, but the people who came out of our Western Army are all responsible heroes.
Hu Laoliu, you fight for rewards and want to marry a good wife to start a family. Now I will give you an opportunity to fight for merit. Why don't you complain to me for your stupidity? We have fought with Xia Guo Dangxiang. , now I’m just teaching you to kill some useless thieves, isn’t this credit easy to come by?”
After hearing what the commander said, the soldier named Hu Laoliu was speechless, but at this time another soldier next to him said: "Commander Qin, I heard that the one who is now in charge of suppressing the bandits in Hedong is He is called a high-ranking official of Renxia Xiaotang. I heard that he is still a popular figure in the official family. This time our Western Army is only a partial division, and it is not led by the senior officials of the Western Army such as Mr. Zhong Family and General Zhe Family. Zhimo If we want to fight for power like that eunuch, isn't it just an excuse to teach us to be controlled by an outsider?"
The eunuchs that the military men call them are naturally Tongguan, a young woman who was as powerful as the military and political power of the Great Song Dynasty and who fostered many party members in the Western Army. Nowadays, there are some subtle differences among the various departments of the Western Army. Some generals are because of their childishness. Guan Guan was gaining momentum and gradually moved closer to him. Some generals were very indignant about Tong Guan's intervention in the military affairs of the surrounding areas and his domineering methods in order to monopolize power in the Western Army. Although it is not good in the army now. He called Tong Guan by name and insulted him, but the soldier said he was a eunuch, which shows that the commanders of these battalions also obviously had a hostile attitude towards Tong Guan.
When he heard someone talking about Xiao Tang, Commander Qin snorted disdainfully. Being praised as a knight is just a joke. What the Western Army admires is a true hero who can fight hard. It's just a matter of getting acquainted with him. These people in the world are good at flattering officials, so what the hell can they do?
Therefore, Commander Qin sneered and said: "We just follow the orders of the military commander, and when the banditry in Hedong subsides, we can just pat our butts and leave. Even if that guy named Xiao is in a high position, what can he do to us? If that guy is a real person." If he is capable, he will not ask our Western Army to help him. He can't pacify a mere group of thieves. How can he be regarded as a luxurious person?
The Sa family had heard that Xiao Tang could compose some good songs, and the instructors were happy to hear them. He was very wealthy, and officials often visited the restaurant and music shop in Panxia, Bianjing, so he was allowed to do a good job. Hu Laoliu, you are so good at singing sour folk songs. Maybe if you get a chance, howl a few times in front of the officials, maybe Longyan will be happy and grant you a title to become a big star in the Privy Council. official."
The officers and soldiers present laughed loudly when they heard this. Just when Commander Qin was about to make a few jokes, someone kicked him hard on the butt, causing him to stagger forward a few steps.
"Who? What kind of fool..." Commander Qin finally stood up, with an angry look on his face. When he turned around and was about to scold him, he saw a general with a majestic temperament and a dignified appearance just thinking about it. looked at him.
The obscene words that rushed to his throat were suppressed by Commander Qin, and he said to the general: "Yao...Yao Xiao Taiwei..."
