Volume 1: The Great Song Fengyun Chapter 044: Killing the Tartar Soldiers (2)
From now on, we should call Alihe Zhang Shiyong; Because he is Han, it is better to call the name of the Han family if he is a Han.
Zhang Zongmang saw that Zhang Shiyong was not cheating, and what he said was basically reliable; I was a little kind to him.
Zhang Zongmang's reason for being friendly to Zhang Shiyong was that people of the same clan could not kill each other, and there were too many Han people who died in the Central Plains during the Wuhu Rebellion; After Yidi invaded, the goal was to kill the Han Chinese, now the Song Dynasty; The opponents of the Han people are the Khitan and the party, and it is difficult to explain to the ancestors if they kill each other.
Zhang Zongmang heard his master Pu Dexiu say: There are thousands of Han people in Liao and Western Xia, and some of them have lived for generations; and those who have been taken captive.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Yelu Abaoji, the treasurer of the Liao State, got an official of the North Court and the South Court; After Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang got the sixteen states of Yanyun dedicated by Shi Jingjiao, the Privy Council of the Southern Yuan was located in Youzhou, and the Liao State was called Xijin Mansion; Dedicated to the management of the Han Chinese.
The Han people in Xijin Mansion naturally had to serve as soldiers and serve, and Zhang Shiyong was a Han in the Liao State; It seems to be an obligation to serve the Yelu royal family and the descendants of the surname Xiao.
Zhang Shiyong, as a member of Xiao Tzuxian's 31 cavalry captains, rushed to Xianghe Bay to carry out the killing mission, and must have been forced; If he dares to refuse; The guy who eats on his neck will fall to the ground......
Zhang Zongmang thought about it in his heart, so he asked Zhang Shiyong to stand up and speak.
Zhang Shi stood up tremblingly, Zhang Zongmang stared at him and asked: "We believe that you are Han, but you have to be honest what you are doing in Xianghewan?" Why did you slaughter so many of us and cut off our heads and hang them......"
Yu Da waved the wrist-untying knife in his hand and said: "If you are not honest, cut off your head, the master doesn't care if you are a Han or a Tartar!" ”
Zhang Zongmang saw that Yu Da was still angry, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Junior brother, calm down, since Zhang Shiyong is a Han Chinese, we should treat him differently!" ”
Turning to Zhang Shiyong, he said, "You have cut off the heads of 10 soldiers of the Seed Family Army over the central square?" ”
"No, no, no!" Zhang Shi said with tears in his eyes: "When I cut off the heads of ten siblings over there, the villain only made a look!" 31 Horsemen are our compatriots, and they are all acting like villains! ”
Zhang Shiyong said with righteous indignation: "If we don't make a appearance, if Xiao Tzu sees it first, then we can't escape the door of death, how can we stand under the eaves without bowing our heads, don't you say?" Zhang Shiyong said something that the Han family was very familiar with.
Zhang Zongmang heard Zhang Shiyong say this, and seemed to understand what was going on; He drove himself back to the central pasture to get his weapons, and saw the corpses on the ground; I talked about the heads of 10 people hanging from the wooden poles that were propped up.
Zhang Shiyong said: "Xiao Tzu was an executioner who killed people without blinking, and he showed no mercy to the Han people, so he let his subordinates cut off the heads of 10 people in the seed army!" The 10 brothers of the Ke Jiajun are good to us, and we are familiar with the salt pond in the Western Xia Kingdom, and we rushed to Fengxiang Mansion with salt all the way; came to Tianzhu Ridge in the name of buying horses; The 10 brothers of the family army trusted us, but Xiao Tartxian, the evil wolf, still killed them! ”
After a pause, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "Xiao Tzu first cut off the heads of 10 family soldiers and hung them, and when he saw the man who was riding a horse in the distance, he sent Da Xidu, Sariba and the villain to come over to kill, how could I think that you two are hard stubble!" ”
Yu Da continued: "You and those people in the Seed Army have known each other in the salt pond of the Western Xia Kingdom, what is going on?" You are Khitans, why are you going to the salt pond of the Western Xia Kingdom! ”
Zhang Shiyong sighed and said, "Little brother, you asked a good question, it's a long talk!" ”
After a pause, he stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Xiao Xuan, the Empress Dowager of the Chengtian Emperor of Liao, has long wanted to invade the Song Kingdom, but she is afraid of Kou Zhun, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, and heard that Kou Zhun relies on Xue Rengui's descendant, Xue Shisan's grandson, so she wants to get rid of them; Let Xiao Tzu first rush to the Song Kingdom in the name of giving Li Jiqian to the Western Xia Kingdom to the funeral! ”
Yu Da was shocked and said, "Xiao Tart wants to kill my grandfather and Sister Jin'er first?" ”
Zhang Zongmang interjected: "Yuda, let Zhang Shiyong finish speaking!" ”
Zhang Shi continued the previous words with a fixed mind: "We rushed to Western Xia with Xiao Tzu first, saying that we wanted to borrow the road to go to the Song Kingdom, but Li Deming, the young master of Western Xia, did not agree to reconcile with the Great Song Dynasty; Xiao Tzu first rushed to Fengxiang Mansion in the salt pond in the Western Xia in the name of transporting salt and the Seed Army, and then asked the Seed Army to bring us here in the name of buying military horses......"
He sighed deeply and said, "I see! ”
Zhang Zongmang frowned and said, "I was looking for my master in the pile of dead, but I didn't see his old man's body!" ”
Erda continued: "Grandpa Pu doesn't seem to be dead, and Grandpa Pu was tied up by a tartar when he spied outside the feed warehouse; But it didn't do any harm! ”
"Are you talking about the guide?" Zhang Shiyong looked at Erda and then at Zhang Zongmang, and said solemnly: "If it was the old man who drove over from the horse farm, he would not be dead!" ”
Zhang Zongmang said happily: "My master rushed over from the horse farm, you said he didn't die?" Zhang Zongmang stared at Zhang Shiyong and asked.
"That old man is not dead! Xiao Tzu won't let him die first! Zhang Shi said in a vigorous voice: "Xiao Tzu asked the old man to lead the way to Xianghe Bay!" ”
Zhang Zongmang asked in surprise: "Go to Xianghewan?" What are you doing in the river? ”
Zhang Shiyong Dingding said: "Xiao Tzu was first the Yue Great Heavenly King, that is, the great officials under the Emperor and the Empress Dowager of Liao; This time, he led 31 Xiao cavalry captains to come all the way to Xianghe Bay, and the main purpose was to kill Xue Shisan and his granddaughter Xue Jin'er; Let your master lead the way to find Miss Xue Jin'er! ”
Zhang Zongmang and Yu Da couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they heard Zhang Shiyong say this.
Zhang Shiyong took a deep breath and continued with the previous words: "Killing Xue Shisan and Xue Jin'er is the plan of Xiao Xuan, the Empress of Chengtian of Liao, and Han Derang, the King of Wenzhong, to make a southern expedition!" ”
Yu Da heard Zhang Shiyong mention Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang, and also mentioned the plan of the southern expedition; Puzzled, he asked, "What is the plan of the Southern Expedition?" ”
"The plan of the southern expedition is that the Liao State is preparing to attack the Song State!" Zhang Shiyong said impassionedly: "The Liao State wants to destroy the Song State, and it is the Prime Minister Kou Zhun who is afraid; And Kou Zhun relied on General Xue Shisan, Xue Jin'er and Xue Jiajun, so he appointed Xiao Tzuxian to lead 31 cavalry captains to the Guanzhong Plain to carry out the assassination mission! ”
Zhang Zongmang listened to Zhang Shiyong talk endlessly about the assassination, grabbed his hand and said: "Zhang Shiyong, we are brothers now; Quick, come with us to the Nanyuan Xuejia camp to meet Grandpa Xue and General Xue! ”
Yu Da was stunned, looked at Zhang Zongmang and said, "What should we do if we go to see Grandpa Xue, Sister Jin'er?" There are so many people looking for her in Tartar, how can Sister Jin'er deal with it? ”
Zhang Zongmang's brows curled into a pimple, and he thought for a while: "I'm afraid the two of us plus Miss Jin'er are not Tartar's opponents, so we will return to Xue's camp immediately and ask Grandpa Xue for help......
Xuejiaying is called Nanyuan on the south bank of the Xiang River, and Nanyuan is the Xiang River to the north and the Wei River to the south; The location is very peculiar.
Nanyuan is a horse and Pingchuan, and this is the main battlefield when Zhou Xun fights the army; During the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi had a long-term confrontation with the Wei River as the boundary, and the southern plain where Xuejiaying was located was the territory of the Wei State.
After Xue Rengui, the prince of Pingyang County in the Tang Dynasty, set the Tianshan Mountain with three arrows, Li Zhi of Tang Gaozong gave him the land of Gyeonggi in the south to build a mansion; Xue Rengui's elite soldiers and strong generals were stationed in Nanyuan, and it was called Xue's camp here.
After hundreds of years of care by the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the Northern Song Dynasty, Xuejiaying has become a perfect village combining mansions and military camps in the Guanzhong area.
After noon, the rich autumn trees in the back garden knew the desperate noise; Xue Shisan asked the waiter to set up a coffee table in the shade of the big tree, and a pot of purple hydrangea hair tips was placed on the coffee table; Two rattan chairs were also arranged, and there were knife and gun stands not far away; The eighteen weapons on it are all available.
There are two rattan chairs, one for Xue Shisan to meditate on himself, and one for his granddaughter Jin'er; At a glance, I knew that such a formation was to study the art of war and learn martial arts, but Miss Jin'er was absent.
Miss Jin'er went to Nanhewan Parrot Island early in the morning to fish and pick lotus roots, saying that she was preparing things for her grandfather's 62nd birthday.
Xue Shisan forgot the specific time of his birthday, but Miss Jin'er remembered it in her heart; No, the day after tomorrow will be Xue Shisan's 62nd birthday; Miss Jin'er started preparing today.
His son Xue Wenxuan and his daughter-in-law live in Weizhou, and Xue Wenxuan is the governor of Weizhou to assist the general Cao Wei in fighting against Western Xia; There is little time to return to her hometown Xuejiaying, and Miss Jin'er lives with her grandfather.
Jin'er is 15 years old this year, and she looks like a flower and a bone; is a hairy boy-like personality who is active and not quiet, and likes to play pranks; She is known as the goddess of change.
Jin'er practiced martial arts with her grandfather at the age of 6, and now Xue Shisan has fallen behind in literary and martial arts.
Xue Shisan was secretly happy for his granddaughter Jin'er's Wen Taowuluo, but he inevitably had concerns in his heart; After all, she is a girl, and no matter how powerful Wen Taowu is, she has to get married.
Jin'er is 15 years old, early enough to get married; Xue Shisan mentioned a few kisses for her, but she said that it was not to her liking, so angry that Xue Shisan jumped straight to his feet.
Seeing that her grandfather was choking, Miss Jin'er laughed and said, "Grandpa, can you ......ignore my affairs?"
Jin'er said this crisply, and ridiculed Xue Shisan speechless; But can he leave it alone?
Xue Shisan was worried about Miss Jin'er's marriage, and hoped that Jin'er's younger brother Shi'er would remember that his sister practiced literature and martial arts like that.
But Shi'er, this child is a male doll but looks like a woman, and he has no feeling at all about literature and martial arts all day long.
Shi Er is the cornerstone of the word, Xue Shisan hopes that he can inherit the will of the ancestors; But when he was ten years old, he just didn't listen to his grandfather, Xue Shisan sighed: The old Xue family is in full swing and the yang is declining?
Xue Shisan thought in his heart, took a sip of tea and said to the maid who was standing on the side, "Miss, it's time to come back, right?"
The maid Qian'er sang a fat song and said, "Master, it's time for the girl to come back!"
Xue Shisan heard Qian'er say this, looked at the rattan chair left for his granddaughter, and his brows became a pimple and said: "This ghost girl, if it was in the past, it would have been time to review the art of war!"
Qian'er laughed and said, "Master, wait a minute, Miss she will be back soon!"
Xue Shisan sighed, brought the "Art of War of Li Jing, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty" in his hand, to his eyes and read it by himself.
The acquaintance on the big tree screamed loudly, and Xue Shisan took his eyes off the book and looked up at the canopy; Ma Xiao, the family member, rushed over to report: "Master, Zhang Huan from Kou Xiangye's Mansion asks to see ......"
