Chapter 173: Old Pawn of Western Shu
Many people wondered why Xishu had brought 200,000 invincible foot soldiers to Luodao, and why Yang Xiu did not fight for the chair.
In the fourth year of Wude, a man in the prime of life with a knife entered Chang'an, the most prosperous capital of the Five Kingdoms.
Later, he found a Southern Tang woman to marry, and now the children can run around in open crotch pants.
The woman was an ordinary person, illiterate, but very gentle. After all, the women in the Jinling area are gentle and lovely, and whoever they marry will follow him all his life.
The man was a well-known carpenter in Chang'an, and the furniture and gadgets he made were very popular with dignitaries.
So over the years, he has saved a lot of silver and bought a small yard in Nancheng. He didn't know much about reading, but he had to send his boy to school.
Even if Mengxue only teaches the three-character scripture, it can be regarded as literacy.
He forgot why he returned to the field in the first place, and then came to Nantang. Maybe I yearn for the prosperous life of the Southern Tang Dynasty, maybe I just want to see the rumored tenement building, or I met her.
It's a pity that she's a mute, but happily, she's a mute, otherwise she wouldn't have taken a fancy to herself.
On this day, an uninvited guest came to the carpenter's shop. The man just looked up at him, then lowered his head and continued to push the wood with a cutaway and said, "You're going to cause trouble in my life!"
The uninvited guest smiled and said: "I don't believe that the people of Datang don't know your identity, it's just that they know that you are completely disappointed in what happened back then, and maybe they still hope that you can become a member of Datang." After all, your wife is from the Tang Dynasty, and your children also have half of the blood of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Since I have returned to the field, I have no intention of putting on the armor again, I came to Nantang, not only because of disappointment, but also because I am optimistic that Datang can unify the world. This is my vision of fighting on the battlefield for decades, I was a soldier at the age of sixteen, I have fought countless battles and battles, I have seen countless people, and I think the general trend of the world, Datang is what I think can be inherited. ”
Fang Huai was silent, and then spoke: "Unless Xishu has the heart to be the emperor, it is difficult for anyone to stop the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty." ”
The uninvited guest is naturally the prince of Xishu, and Fang Huai, the former foot soldier commander, once led 30,000 foot soldiers to the east to Luodao.
However, in the end, because Yang Xiu gave up attacking Luoyang, Fang Huai gave up his position as the commander of the foot soldiers in a fit of anger and disappeared into the world.
In fact, very early on, Skynet had already found out where Fang Huai was, but no one bothered him.
Fang Huai stopped what he was doing and said: "I just don't understand, the Eastern Capital was weak back then, if we can take the Eastern Capital in one go." The prince can be called the emperor, and the dragon robe is added. We don't want to become ministers of the dragon, but we are unwilling to let us fight outside for more than 20 years, but we have made wedding dresses for others. I don't know if you've been to the White Emperor's Mausoleum, but the hundreds of thousands of names outside, that's our countless robes, maybe yesterday you were still drinking with him, and today he is shrouded in horse leather. ”
"We hate it! Yang Guang, how can he be virtuous, the Great Sui is the world is a few brothers to fight down. It was the prince who fought desperately, and it was countless people who died, and countless blood and bones were piled up. ”
"Uncle Fang!"
"I just want to know what you think, do you want Emperor Fang?"
"Uncle Fang, don't you want to know why my father gave up the Eastern Expedition to Luoyang and took what belonged to him. ”
"Why?" Not only Fang Huai was puzzled, but even those who had abandoned their armor were puzzled, why did they retreat when they were only one step away from it.
The dream of 200,000 foot soldiers, just because of the prince's return trip, turned into a dream bubble, how could they stand it.
At that time, most of the generals chose to go into hiding, and many soldiers regretfully left. The only actual old people left behind were Li Baozong and Song Qingchao.
But now that he asked again, Fang Huai calmed down too much. The rest is just doubts, and there are no more.
He has a daughter-in-law and children, and there are some things that he can't go back to.
Yang Weiyang came to Nantang to solve a lot of things, one of which was to solve the resentment of those veterans.
said: "Why Xu Changsheng always calls the second in the world, it is because there are people who are the first in the world, and he doesn't dare to call the second in the world." He is not afraid of his own life or death, but he has to protect the entire East China Sea. Donghai can always be transcendent, that is because the second in the world has never been out of Penglai Pavilion. Why did the teacher die back then, he was a saint, the last saint in later generations. Xu Changsheng thinks that he is the closest to the existence of a saint, even Xu Changsheng can't beat it, if 200,000 Xishu foot soldiers step into Luoyang, that person will make a move, I am afraid that the White Emperor Monument will have another 200,000 Xishu Erlang names. Yang Xiu is reluctant, too many people have died, he is reluctant to let you die, he can't say it, he can only swallow all the bitterness. ”
Yang Weiyang continued: "The Great Sui's luck has not been extinguished, at least Xishu can't let its luck melt. Only the power of a country can destroy a country, whether it is the Tang Dynasty or Western Chu, or the barbarians outside the Guan, history is always moving forward. ”
"The old people who left, I only hope that they will not leave regrets, let alone resent Xiuxiu, because you are qualified to know the truth. ”
Fang Huai sat aside, and then said to the people in the house: "Go buy two catties of pork, buy a pot of good wine, there are guests at noon today!"
An ordinary woman walked out of the room, Yang Weiyang bowed to her, and the woman gave a blessing and left.
"It's an insider!"
"Uncle Fang is so blessed!"
Fang Huai touched the back of his head and smiled, the happiest thing for him was this.
At the wine table, the two of them drank too much and began to call each other brothers, and the woman could only smile helplessly on the side.
Fang Huai asked with a mouth full of wine, "How are you doing these years?"
Yang Weiyang replied: "It's okay! But it's old, many people are old." ”
Fang Huai was silent, then drank for a while and said: "I knew back then that you kid was not simple, whether it was Pingwagang or Da Chu, you didn't lose the face of the prince. ”
Yang Weiyang's face showed a trace of bitterness, these old soldiers of Xishu, although they have been away from Xishu for a long time, they are paying attention to the movements of Xishu all the time.
They are thinking about Xishu, but because of various reasons in reality, they have to bury this miss deep in their hearts.
They are very pitiful, the group of people who died in Xishu are even more pitiful, and there are poor people, but they don't know where they are.
Fang Huai spoke: "Actually, we don't blame the prince, we just blame ourselves." ”
Whose old people wear new clothes, and whose new people wear old clothes.
It's just that when I was young, I only hate being old now, how can I hang a knife and not drink blood, let alone splendor!
