Chapter 48 Returning the Horse to Your Hometown-5
Liu Baohu can dance a big knife weighing more than 100 catties, and he was born with a rough and brainless appearance. But he is really the most cautious person, this Tang poem has always been placed in Liu Baohu's room, everyone thinks that Liu San is illiterate, and putting a book of Tang poems is just pretending.
Two days later, Liu Baohu went out to hunt and killed five deer. That night, a venison feast was held in the village, and the wine was mixed with anesthetics, and more than 30 henchmen of the big boss were captured. The bound Han army brothers opened their eyes wide, scolded angrily, and did not open their mouths to forgive. Jiming Village is the northernmost Han village, where whether it is the descendants of several generations of Han soldiers, or the new brothers, they have long put their lives on the line, but they died at the hands of their own people, and they can't help but be indignant.
Liu Baohu's father turned out to be the owner of Jiming Village, who was killed in the conflict with the Jurchen tribe twenty years ago, and Jiming Village is now the Yu brothers. Traitors who betray the cottage! When the big boss returns to the mountain, he will not let you go! He kicked his feet and overturned the table, spilling wine and barbecue everywhere.
Liu Baohu said coldly: "Yu Mai took refuge in the Jin Kingdom, and I was ordered by Miss Han to clean up the portal. You're all rebellious henchmen! As soon as he said this, except for Yu Chong, the second master, and a few others, the faces of the others changed greatly. The brothers who were tied to the ground, some of them were still menacing just now, but now they were on the ground, and some of them desperately shouted: "Wronged! We didn't take refuge in the country! "Liu Dangjia's Mingcha!" "I'm just doing things for the village, not a rebellious cronie of the Yu family!"
Liu Baohu's face was as cold as iron, and he said in a deep voice: "If there is any grievance, I went to the ancestors and ancestors on the Huangquan Road to say that they were all pulled down and cut down." ”
Yu Chong still scolded stiffly: "The surname Liu, even if you are ruthless, there are a few fierce soldiers and horses stationed around this duck river, and the soldiers will kill your whole family without leaving a single one!" Not only did he scold endlessly, but more than a dozen other Han soldiers also began to scold when they saw that there was no hope of survival, and some shouted: "The big boss came back with the Jurchens to kill, and it will be too late for you to regret it!" Some shouted: "Twenty years later, Lao Tzu will be a good man again, first kill your whole family surnamed Liu, and then kill the Khitans!" "Wronged! Three masters, let me and the Khitans fight to the death! I'm not convinced! The others were miserable and confused until they died.
In a short time, more than 30 heads were cut off, and more than 700 brothers in the village were all terrified. Liu Baohu sighed secretly and instructed: "According to the law, if you don't commit as much as your family, first put the rebellious family members into custody." The whole village is ready to be ordered to go south, and this time the Han army is going to do a big job in Liaodong. ”
This happened in several other cottages, six of which were captured by henchmen loyal to the Han clan and the other two were defeated, adding up to hundreds of dead and wounded. When neither Jin Guo nor Mr. Han Da knew about it, these news were reported to Han Ningshuang through the pigeons.
Han Ningshuang's face was calm, but there was a glimmer of light in her eyes. These hundreds of Han army brothers did not die on the battlefield of fighting Hu Lu, but they died in fratricide first, which is inevitably emotional. In the military order to clean up the portal, she ignored the advice of Xu Detai and Wang Xuansu, and added the article "The crime is not as good as the family", which is not right or wrong. Han Ningshuang sighed softly, closed the small silk book, and said in a deep voice: "Of the eight rebellious villages, we have already recaptured six, and although the other two have not yet succeeded, they can't afford to make much of a storm." She took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Xingde in front of her, and said in a low voice: "A total of 457 rebellious people were killed, and more than 1,000 rebellious family members were detained, and General Zhao was also asked to report to the General's Mansion and the Protector's Mansion." ”
Zhao Xingde nodded and said, "Ci is not in charge of the troops, this is also a last resort, the eldest lady should not blame herself too much." ”
There was a shout of Han soldiers training outside, but the air in the tent was quiet, Han Ningshuang was silent for a moment, raised his head, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "General Zhao wants to laugh at my woman's kindness, the person has been killed, and the human head will not grow again." ”
In the past few days, every time she received the news from the Han army village, she was covered with a layer of haze in her heart, there is no doubt that many heroes must be unjustly killed in this purge, but the cottages are hanging alone, and they will soon have to march long distances. Xu Detai and Wang Xuansu both advocated cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, in addition to the rebellion, along with the rebellious relatives, also get rid of it. And the two stockades where Han's henchmen will fail, the enemy has indeed done the same. The two armies did not have a single thought, this is not the Central Plains of singing and dancing, and the scholars offended the emperor and were only exiled to a remote place as an official. Whether it is the Jurchens, Khitans, Bohai people, or Han people, whether it is a battle between tribes or within tribes, they will all kill each other.
Sunlight filtered through the cracks in the birch bark and cast a shadow into the tabernacle, and a lot of dust rose and fell with the subtle currents. In troubled times, human life is like this dust.
Han Ningshuang tried her best to get these untimely thoughts out of her mind, and said slowly: "There are more than 20,000 soldiers in the Han army, and more than 100,000 people have moved to the south, and the road is fine. ”
Zhao Xingde nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I will try my best to arrange it, Miss Han also knows that the Xia Kingdom is far away from here, and the grain comes from the sea, and it all starts from the port of the Song Kingdom, and there are some situations that we can not completely control." Before leaving Phoenix Mountain, Xia Guo's artillery and the first batch of grain and grass had not yet arrived, so Zhao Xingde had a somewhat uncertain tone.
Han Ningshuang's eyebrows suddenly furrowed. "General Zhao, this is not a matter of 'try your best to arrange', we have to make sure that there is food and grass," she softened her tone, and there was more pleading in her eyes, and said, "Otherwise, the number of people who will starve to death will probably be many times more." ”
Zhao Xingde's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated: "I will do my best." ”
"It's not about trying, it's about guaranteeing!" Han Ningshuang aggravated her tone, she ignored the ugly face of the envoy of the Xia Kingdom, and said in a deep voice: "If your grain and grass are not enough, I will borrow grain from the Jin Kingdom." ”
Zhao Xingde's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "This is absolutely not good!" He paused and persuaded, "The Han army has been entangled with the Jurchens, and if they want to borrow food again, they are afraid that they will be fighting for the tiger." Zhao Xingde's face was uncertain, "The Jurchen is not my race, and its heart will be different." ”
"Not my race?" A sarcastic smile appeared on Han Ningshuang's face, "I'm afraid that the people of the Central Plains look at the Liaodong Han'er, and they are not of my race, right?" She said in a deep voice, "The enemies of the Han army are the Khitans, and the Xia State does not allow us to form an alliance with the Jin State, so we do so, but we can't let hundreds of thousands of fathers and elders starve to death in vain in the winter, so you'd better guarantee that we will have enough food and grass to survive the winter, otherwise, even if I am willing to cooperate with the Xia State, my subordinates will not watch their subordinates and relatives starve to death one by one." The emperor does not send hungry soldiers, whoever gives them food and grass, they will fight for whomever they want! General Zhao, when the time comes, I can only 'do my best' to restrain me. ”
Zhao Xingde was angry in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "I will make every effort to make arrangements to ensure the grain and grass on the sea." ”
Han Ningshuang smiled and said: "Mr. Yuanzhi's name of benevolence and righteousness is spread in all directions, and the ancestors of Ningshuang have thanked the fathers and elders of the Han army for more than 100,000 generations. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. In the past ten days, the two have cooperated with Jin Guo to discuss the alliance. The Han army and the Jin state demarcated territory, and the two sides formed an alliance to resist the Liao and did not attack each other. Han Ningshuang observed carefully, and found that although Zhao Xingde had seen people, the city government was not very deep, and even a gentleman could be bullied. God knows why he was so hostile to the Jurchen tribe, and extremely intolerant of the Han army cooperating with the Jin state. Han Ningshuang once traveled around the Xia and Song countries, and also listened to the views of many powerful people of the two countries on the situation in Liaodong, no one was as scrupulous as Zhao Xingde, in addition to the Song State vigorously aiding the Wanyan tribe, Xia also had ministers who proposed to use the Jurchen things to attack the Liao State. In fact, in addition to the Han army in Liaodong, the Han family also controlled a huge caravan, and after more than a hundred years of accumulation, it was deeply entrenched in the Xia and Song kingdoms, and the Han army itself was able to buy some grain in the Song country. Since Zhao Xingde has this obsession, Han Ningshuang doesn't mind squeezing the greatest benefit out of it for the Han army.
After Zhao Xingde got up to say goodbye, Han Ningshuang sighed softly, presumably this Zhao Yuanzhi had a bad impression of himself. The alliance between the Han army and the Jin State will be negotiated in a few days, and she will also leave for the south, and Wang Hengzhi will build a village in Kaizhou, which will be the residence of the Han army marshal. The guard came to report, and after Yan Meini visited, Han Ningshuang asked Wang Ji to take her to his bedroom. She herself moved to the dormitory and waited, the whole car camp, only here with a little fat powder, she casually combed her sideburns in front of the bronze mirror, these days she is busy with military affairs, and she doesn't have much makeup.
It didn't take long for Wanyan Meini to open the tent door and come in, and said with a smile: "Meini, my aunt is here from Ningjiang Prefecture and said that she wants to see you, come with me." "Wanyan Meini is the ninth princess of Wanyan Aguda, riding a horse and archery is better than ordinary warriors, and she is the most favored, but the Jurchens have not been established for a long time, and there is no clear distinction between respect and inferiority. Han Ningshuang has lived in the Wanyan tribe since she was a child, and Wanyan Meini rode horses and archery together, and the intersection was very deep, and her aunt came from Ningjiang and said that she wanted to see Han Ningshuang, and Wanyan Meini came to find her in person.
Han Ningshuang's face changed slightly, she couldn't hold back the surging in her heart, and forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Mother Minnie...... Where is the tabernacle? She casually put the comb in front of the mirror, stood up, and said with a smile: "It's in this manor, go quickly." Han Ningshuang hurriedly explained to Wang Xuansu, and Wanyan Meini chattered beside her: "I'm so envious, I really want to lead soldiers and horses to kill the enemy, but my father listened to the nonsense of outsiders, saying that women's families can't fight." I just don't accept it, starting from the Nine Heavenly Girl, the women of the tribe for generations can kill the enemy, and my aunt also has her own Meng'an. ”
Note: Liaojin called the Songhua River as the Duck River, also known as the Mixed River.
