From Da Song River East Road to Xihe Road, the sound of horse hooves on the official road at the border of the Song Dynasty, which used to be full of fights, was constant. The silver-medal fast-horse postmen responsible for conveying emergency military information went to the Song army troops guarding various places.
The military order was conveyed, and it was announced that Bianjing had sent an angel to issue an imperial edict. The two countries of Song and Xia had ceased fighting. The various departments of the Song Army on the east and west routes were also preparing to set off and return to the military prefectures under the jurisdiction of their respective military commanders.
The atmosphere inside and outside Xining Prefecture is no longer the same as before. The troops are preparing to set off. Before leaving, the three armies receive rewards. The soldiers in the camp are sitting cross-legged on the reed mats at a glance. They are munching on the hot food sent from the city.
The pigs were roasting the sheep, the chatter was loud, the bragging was loud, the laughter was getting louder and louder, and the laughter and curses were getting louder and louder.
As for the place where the generals of the Song army were entertained, some Jun Jian also set up a banquet tent, which was filled with twenty or thirty tables. Xiao Tang and his close brothers, Jing Nanjun were regarded as direct subordinates, and Yao Pingzhong, Wu Jie, and Liu Qi
, the Zhai brothers and other soldiers of the Western Army who fought bloody battles, as well as other generals such as Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Li Xiaozhong, and the powerful men from the border areas all sat down together. First, they raised their bowls to the sky to respect Zhu Dingguo, Wang Wenbin and other Song Dynasty soldiers who died in the battle.
The generals and the cooks in the army also laid out a table with delicacies, mainly barbecued meat, and the group of heroes drank from their bowls, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
As for Xiang Tongguan, he first met with the envoys sent by Xia Ting in Xining Prefecture. It seemed that he still had some work to do to win over the familiar Qiang people inside and outside the border. After the war, he negotiated with the Xia Kingdom who asked to surrender.
Tong Guan was already very good at doing things, not to mention that he was able to get fame and glory without having to go through dangerous battles. He had already led a group of followers to Lanzhou.
Since the confrontation has been open, Tong Guan has no chance to frame Xiao Tang for the moment, and only Liu Yanqing and other generals who follow his lead are left in Xining Prefecture. It seems that he has no intention of pretending to deal with Xiao Tang at the moment.
Another cook in the city picked up a jar of wine. Not long after, the soldiers in each department, who were drinking freely, grabbed their arms and sleeves, and laughed loudly to fight the wine. Soon they were so drunk that everyone got carried away. All the soldiers in the Western Army
The tribes, Jingnan Army, Runing County, Hedong Xizhou and Ganlong Haoyong and other tribes fought side by side. They have experienced several life and death together, and now they are like brothers. Liu Yanqing and other generals who obey Tong Guan are also very
It seems that in order to avoid suspicion, Xiao Tang did not come to have a drink with him but to eat wild fire. As for Xiao Tang, he even formed a life-long friendship with a fierce general in the Qianxi Army who was good at conquering and fighting. Now he only has to cut off the chicken head and burn it.
The one with the yellow paper went to worship the master. They were like each other, and they were willing to trust each other with their lives.
Here, Yao Pingzhong and Niu Gao had just drank a bowl, but not far away, they heard their subordinate Guanxi Erlang raise his voice again and roared a folk tune that was very similar to the later Xintianyou. Originally, Xiao Tang and Yi
The generals looked around and heard the soldier singing long and loudly as they entered the alley. He changed his tune. He was also drunk. In front of all the ministers of the Western Army, there was something in the folk song.
There are many dirty jokes.
Originally, the soldiers of the Western Army were tough and rough, and on the occasion of rewarding the three armies like this, the generals of each department did not have to spend every penny to control the soldiers under their command to obey the rules. However, when they heard the soldier under his command singing more and more outrageously,
Yao Pingzhong was also angry and laughing. He immediately stood up and shouted to the soldier: "Hu Laoliu, what are you howling like? You have no respect at all! Xiao Jieshuai, Liu Jinglue here, dare to do this, and don't shut up anymore."
If you cut off the bird's beak, I will go and cut off your tongue myself!"
The bearded man named Hu Laoliu was not so drunk that he did not even recognize his own military superiors. When he heard Yao Pingzhong laugh and scold him, he also knew that he was too much in front of Xiao Tang, Liu Fa and others, so he staggered. After taking two steps, he apologized to Xiao Tang again and said: "I have offended several of my husbands because of my recklessness. I hope you will forgive me! I also know that Xiao Jieshuai is a wonderful person who can arrange good songs. I am so sad." How did Qu Shange get on the table? But Xiao Jieshuai drank a few more mouthfuls of yellow soup, which irritated Xiao Jieshuai's ears. I just ask for forgiveness."
In fact, when Xiao Tang listened to the popular tune of northern Shaanxi sung by Hu Laoliu, it was very pleasant to listen to. The melody was unrestrained and unrestrained. At this time, he was also drunk and full of pride, so he smiled and said: "There is no harm in the integrity of the athletes in the army. The folk slang singing has a different style. It is said that it is not polite to go back and forth. Since some people are singing, I will also show my ugliness, and I will serve as a military officer to help the officers and men enjoy the wine."
Although the tunes sung from the Jinfeng Yulu Tower under the name of Xiao Tang do not conform to the romantic style of the tunes of the Song Dynasty, they are still famous all over the world. However, the people present will follow Xiao Tang through large and small battles. They had also forgotten that he was also famous for his expertise in the art field in the Song Dynasty. So when Xiao Tang said this, everyone present cheered loudly, and countless pairs of eyes looked at Xiao Tang and looked at him in disbelief.
Xiao Tang took a deep breath, and with the strength of his Dantian, a song with a loud voice that seemed to penetrate the clouds and cracked rocks immediately came out from his mouth, and it echoed inside and outside the camp in an instant. All the Song Army officers and soldiers present listened. It was clear that many of them looked surprised, because this time Xiao Tang did not play the melody in the form of original vocal music by the musician and luthier, but just sang a cappella, and the melody tone and the small singing spread among the hooks and tiles, The melody of Yashang is a bit weird, but the words sung along with the melody are easy to understand.
The melody of high singing is not the elegant music of spring and snow, romance, nor is it a folk tune based on market slang. All soldiers can understand the meaning of all the words in Xiao Tang's howling and singing, and even the emotions that empathize with them arise spontaneously in their hearts. The blood of all the Song Army generals present seemed to be boiling. Gradually, everyone felt a surge of great pride rushing into their chests. Everyone felt a burst of hearty joy, and some soldiers even had tears in their eyes. They all shouted and sang along with Xiao Tang:
"Wolf smoke rises, the mountains and rivers look north. The dragon curls up, the horse neighs, and the sword energy is like frost.
My heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River. Who can resist it in twenty years?
The hatred is crazy, and the long sword is directed at it, and the loyal souls of many brothers and feet are buried in a foreign country.
Why should I die hundreds of times to serve my country?
When the horse's hooves go south, people look north. When people look north, the grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying.
I am willing to defend my territory and restore my borders, and the dignified China will let the four quarters... come to congratulate me!"
That night, Xiao Tang was just a temporary riser, and he secretly thought about this song of serving the country with loyalty. It was also a true portrayal of the military career of these young men in the army who did not hesitate to fight to the death for the country.
The lyrics and music of the northwest military song "Taiwan Song" written by Shen Kuo, a famous official of the Song Dynasty, are also more popular and easy to understand, and are very suitable for heroic military men to sing. Therefore, after Xiao Tang and a group of close brothers returned to Beijing, it also quickly became popular in the Western Army. It spread from department to department.
In addition, during the Song-Xia War, Xiao and Tang defeated the enemy in Linxia, ambushed the Xia Dynasty's heroic military commander in the left wing, and led the army north to rescue the famous general Liu Fa. The lives of soldiers and civilians...these feats also make most of the Western Army athletes admire them in their hearts. Whenever a military athlete guarding the western frontier sings that military song, he immediately thinks of Xiao Tang's illustrious military exploits. ...Since then, although Xiao Tang was not born in the Western Army, he, together with Zhongshi Dao, Zhongshi, Liu Fa and even the powerful Tong Guan, became the most prestigious among the Western Army. General.
