Li Yisheng wants to return to China, and he has to pass through the Northern Plain, whether it is a necessary place or not, he has to go back to the Northern Plain, where the general embassy is located, and only if they take care of the customs defense, the Dongxia people can return to China. Approaching the North Plains when it is almost night, after staying in the suburbs, entering the city in the morning, it rains sporadically, usually in this season, there will be a lot of Dongxia people busy in the field, replanting or weeding, looking at the field, there is always a little bit of vitality, but now there are few people in the field, a large number of mature fields raised by Dongxia, and not immediately planted for people. Many generals came up to the Northern Plains, and they would only accept the assets of the Northern Plains after a large number of Eastern Xia people moved away, and they would live as strange goods.

It can't be said that it's all about making your own pockets bulge, and part of the reason is also to solve military spending.

They will not hand over these assets to the people of Jingkang in vain, nor will they ask the government to relocate the people as much as possible, but wait to sell, sell their fields, sell their homes, and sell their acres...... However, after a large number of Dongxia people migrated and scattered into Beizhou, the Northern Plain almost became an empty city, and the people who were relocated by the government wanted to live, the officers and soldiers asked for money, they wanted to eat, the officers and soldiers did not give it, they wanted to farm, and the officers and soldiers still wanted money, how could they live in peace.

The Northern Plains, which used to be so prosperous that it could echo with the long moon, is now almost a ghost town in the drizzle.

Li Yisheng and some Eastern Xia descendants rode by, and they all felt extremely sour in their hearts.

This is the most prosperous land in Dongxia, and now that's it, the owner has changed, and the master can't take care of it, let it grow weeds, let it be barren, and let it be densely covered with cobwebs in the house. His real master passed by, and how could he not sigh in distress.

When I arrived at the General Embassy, I accepted the arrangement to stay, and stayed for more than ten days before the paperwork was properly handled, and the people gathered before I went to the Yuyang River Valley.

When you arrive at the Yuyang River Valley, there are many barren mounds, infested with pheasants, rabbits, lone wolves and wild dogs, and this place was originally either farmland or pastureland, but also became a border with the fall of the Northern Plain. The newly erected boundary monument was beaten by Jingkang next to his newly built stone fort, the bright red Jingkang word revealed a trace of hideousness, and on the opposite side, there was no brand of Dongxia, there was no corresponding boundary monument erected, and the word "Dongxia" was also written.

On the tower of the stone fort stood some ironclad soldiers, and below the city gate, there were two rows, they checked their peers, but they would openly ask for bribes. Li Yisheng and the others naturally did not deal with them, and risked not being able to get out of the customs to supervise Jingkang's army to be honest and honest, and to pay the money simply.

However, just as he was about to leave the pass, the sound of the horn was loud, and the gate of the city fell down.

One of the soldiers shouted, "Close the gates." Close the gates. ”

Because they received the money, they explained to Li Yisheng: "Your soldiers have all withdrawn, but one of them has fallen, and they are practicing around every three or five times. The generals are on tight guard, they have no choice but to let you pass today, you go back, there is a small town, stay for one night, and come back tomorrow to see if they have withdrawn. ”

It was still because they received the money, and they prevaricated: "It's no wonder that we can't blame it." Blame your own soldiers, and run to us to practice. ”

Li Yisheng stopped a few young people and went back to the town with them, but when he returned to the town, he went to ask the next day, and the people were still practicing, and when he asked again on the third day, he was still practicing...... If it hadn't been for the general embassy's customs defense, everyone would have taken the wild road out of the customs. But for now we can only wait until six days have passed. Six days passed, and the soldiers on the stone fort asked everyone to give them a meaning, reminding: "You prepare dry food, go to Yuyang, there is no one for thirty or fifty miles......

There were no Dongxia descendants who had been in and out of it, so he muttered: "Who are you fooling, if there is no one for dozens of miles, how can our army practice for so many days without leaving?" ”

They went out of the customs together, and walked in the direction of Yuyang, and if this was the case, the horses in the Yuyang River Valley withdrew, only a clear river, and walked more than ten miles, but it was an army neatly stacked, with as many as eight or nine hundred people, wading through the fishing water, wearing black armor, wading through the waves and rolling the water, the water was deep, and the team was still not chaotic, pushing the soldiers to tie up, pulling the war horses, and only exposing the armor on the head...... The armor was puzzled by the deep water, and when they looked at it, they felt that their general was ruthless enough. But all of them were inspired, and it was their own people, their own army, strong will and discipline, defending the new country.

When the army crossed the fishing waters, it was a road up the mountain, and on both sides were the tall thorn trees, and the army plunged into it, and only a tattered military flag could be seen.

The flag was raised higher and higher.

The louder the people shouted, the higher they rose, as if they were stuck in a mountain stream, and they shook from time to time.

There were still a small number of troops on this side of the river, they rode horses and galloped over, and when they came to the front, everyone couldn't help but be surprised, they all had no armbands, they were covered in dry mud, stained with broken leaves, this was the Eastern Xia army that had always been neat? This is the Eastern Xia army that has always paid attention to military appearance?

The crowd couldn't believe it.

Li Yisheng asked, "Are you from that military government?" ”

The two columns of men and horses were lifeless, but they were discharged to escort them, and the first cavalryman, after he showed his identification, raised his sword and saluted, and replied, "The military palace of the valley." ”

Because Li Yisheng's level is there, he greeted them Niu Lu Zuoling.

The cavalryman's face twitched, and he said loudly, "Mr. Hui." Our general was killed in battle. ”

Li Yisheng instinctively looked around, wondering if this was a war? Why did the army drill like this, and Niu Lu Zuoling was still killed in battle?

The cavalryman had his arms outstretched, and there was no rank badge on them.

Everyone gathered around him and asked him why he didn't ...... The cavalry said: "If you don't recover the Northern Plains for a day, you won't divide the generals for a day." ”

Li Yisheng suddenly thought of something, and said in a lost voice: "You are Yang Erguang Niulu?" ”

The cavalryman's face was bulging, his eyes were wrinkled, and there were two tears in his eyes.

Yang Erguang Niulu except for some remaining soldiers, almost the whole army was wiped out, and it was not easy to retain the structure, but as long as the young recruits who were transferred, the generals and the Qianniu who arrived, although they were trained on their behalf, they never regarded themselves as their generals, nor did they dare to claim themselves, because the officers and soldiers of Yang Erguang Niulu did not recognize them.

They have to make a comeback on their own, even if there are only a few soldiers left.

Li Yisheng heard a little, but he didn't expect that this army was still in the Yuyang River Valley.

As far as he knew, Li Hu belonged to this army, and after a hundred battles, he was sent to Beizhou, he stopped everyone's discussion and raised his horsewhip in greeting.

It's just that there is no division between the generals and the soldiers, how can they command?

With such questions, Li Yisheng accepted their escort and galloped in the direction of Yuyang.

After traveling dozens of miles and arriving at a camp, the cavalry turned around. Everyone looked forward to it, and began to talk again, they were sure that the original delay of six days, that is, this army was in drills, a full six or seven days in the field, there seemed to be no special logistics supplies, Sheng gave a deep impression to everyone, there is military common sense to know where it is profound, no, just feel strange. But Yang Erguang Niulu, they all know, and they concluded: "Yang Erguang Niulu will make a comeback." As long as they are covered in mud and mud, they can also make a comeback. ”

Arriving at this camp, counting the distance, this place should not be sparsely populated.

However, in this camp, the people in it are only this lonely earthen tent, and people are packing up and tying up utensils. The crowd was so sad that they said, "What's the matter?" We were scared by Jingkang, do we want to run? A descendant jumped off the horse, stopped the person and asked, and the crowd was still waiting for the result of his question, and it didn't take much effort, but he turned his head excitedly and shouted: "We are not without people." We're not without people anymore. The army is moving westward. People will go westward. "There were many people in the camp, and many people dismounted, but they were stuck together with each other.

More and more people said: "The king has issued an edict, and everyone is gone, we are the last group, the west is too vast, and if we don't go westward with all our might, we can't occupy all the territory." ”

People hugged each other, cheered for the news, and threw their hats around.

Li Yisheng restrained himself and asked them: "If you go west so quickly, you will go west, who will defend Yuyang?" ”

This is something that no one can answer.

But everyone still knew something, and told him: "Yuyang's side is also moving westward. We in Eastern Xia want to occupy the desert. To occupy the foothills. If you want to occupy all the grasslands, you can't take care of this piece of land, so you give up the desert. ”

Arrive in Yuyang.

Just as a team went west.

This is a team of post-graduates.

The young men walked through the streets on riding boots and red flowers, riding tall horses, helmets or felt hats, carrying scimitars, bows and arrows, carrying lehrer carts, and some women sitting on the chariots, they bowed their hands to their fathers and brothers, and shouted and announced: "Straddle the saddle, ride the horses, we will not return from the west." Good men don't want their fathers and brothers to divide the land, don't want relatives and friends to give pastures, we have hands and feet and bows and arrows, we want to go to a piece by ourselves, we want to set foot on Tuoba Mountain, we want to go to Samur to do it. Let the hundred tribes surrender, and let the desert become the horse farm of our Dongxia. ”

Li Yisheng looked at it, and everyone looked at it.

However, after being separated from his own country for a short time, he did not know the changes in the country, and he set off such a fanatical wave of westward expansion.

The drumsticks were loud.

Woo horn jerk.

Is this the horn and war drum of the westward march?

They followed the veterans who led them, and gradually walked out of the long smoke, which made people feel so excited.
