Chapter 121: Parting and Returning Home
Sixty or seventy thousand people were kneeling down towards him, how dare Wen Han accept it, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and led the treading clouds and black horses down the mountain quickly. Guan Yu and a group of Black Wind riders also dismounted and followed Wen Han down the mountain.
"Never! Please! Everyone, please get up! This is to let me die! Please! ”
Wen Han hurriedly walked quickly, and repeatedly told the people to stand up. After walking a long way, almost to the foot of the mountain, Wen Han almost kept saying the same sentence. But no one responded, and the people were still on their knees. The kneeling of these 60,000 or 70,000 people was really unacceptable to Wen Han, and he couldn't help shouting loudly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't kneel anymore! Otherwise, I will have to return it by kneeling! ”
Wen Han walked faster and faster, and when he walked in front of the people, he was about to kneel. Those people were shocked, this Wen Han is a big man with an official position, and he has great kindness to each of them, they can kneel for Wen Han. But they must not let this Wen Han kneel for them. A few people in front of them hurriedly stood up, rushed to Wen Han's side, and held Wen Han's body that was about to land.
"Champion Wen, no! You will wait for me to kneel, and it is you who will make me wait for my life. What you have done for us, this kneeling is less. How can I still make you kneel before me! ”
"Ladies and gentlemen. Stand up quickly. As a general of the Han Dynasty, I know that you and others are suffering in that Qianghu, and as a slave, it is natural to save them, and it is a dereliction of duty and morality not to save them. I only hate that my people have little strength, too few soldiers and horses, and can't save more Han people in Qianghu! ”
Wen Han was talking while helping the kneeling Han people, and then gave Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun who looked at them beside them, and the three of them understood and hurriedly commanded the soldiers to help the kneeling people.
It took half an hour for all the 60,000 or 70,000 people to stand up. Fearing that they would make such a fateful move again, Wen Han walked into the crowd of ordinary people, holding the hands of several people affectionately, talking to them about trivial things or greeting them about the hometown of some of them, and calming their excitement.
Wen Han, as a later generation, is very repulsive to this kneeling, he believes that heaven and earth can not kneel, only kneel to parents and teachers.
Wen Han came down all the way, chatting and laughing with the people, and some people kept squeezing forward in the crowd, wanting to get close to Wen Han and say a few words to him. Therefore, sometimes the formation is chaotic, but fortunately, Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun are next to him, and he will immediately order the soldiers to maintain a good formation in time.
Later, Guan Yu and Gao Shun were remembered by some people, they were the two generals led by Wen Han, and suddenly many people surrounded Guan Yu and Gao Shun, or thanked them, or bowed down, and even some people wanted to kneel. Frightened, Guan Yu and Gao Shun hurriedly supported those who wanted to kneel, this kneeling seemed to be particularly followed, once one knelt, I was afraid that a large number of people would kneel again.
Guan Yu and Gao Shun also learned from Wen Han, asking those who gathered around where their hometown was, telling them interesting things to stabilize their emotions. The two of them were also surrounded by a group of people. Later, even the Black Wind Riders were besieged by many people, and these Black Wind Knights may be first-class in marching and fighting, but their ability to deal with people is not high, and they are all smiling silly and rarely speaking.
At the foot of this Yangshan Mountain, it is not far from Linhe City. If you ride a horse, it will be two or three hours. If you walk, it will take four or five hours. But because these 60,000 or 70,000 people are really enthusiastic, and the people of Wen Han's army are all close to the people, so they dare to say and ask boldly. Along the way, it seems that there are endless questions. Therefore, it took almost a day to return to Riverside City.
On the riverside city, the lights are bright. Not long ago, many people were at the head of the city, and when they saw the dense and countless crowds of people in the distance returning to the city, they knew that it was Wenhan and them who led the troops back. Not only the soldiers guarding the city were excited, but also the old men and women who had been waiting for a long time near the river and did not go to Yangshan to greet them due to physical problems, were even more happy. One by one, they came out and surrounded the city gate, and for a while the river gate was impassable.
These old men and women, with longing eyes, kept looking. I want to find the figure of this crowd of Chinese Han, but Wen Han is surrounded by people, and it is difficult to find.
"Oh, who's the champion. It's like a honeycomb, so dense that you can't see it. ”
"yes, yes. Don't worry about it for now, let's walk over and see it when you get closer. ”
These people who came back from Qianghu heard from the people in Linhe City that the people in this Shuofang County all called Wenhan the champion of literature. The old ones are called champions, and the women are called champions. After hearing this, these people who came back from Qianghu all felt that this title was appropriate, and they followed the name.
I don't know which old man said this, and suddenly the people at the city gate moved again and rushed forward in a swarm. As soon as the crowds of people came into contact with each other, they gathered and filled the entire avenue. Those who came in front of them were all old men and women, Wen Han was afraid that they would fall, so he hurriedly asked the people around him to get out of the way, and he hurriedly walked over. This time, it's broken.
Those people in front of them, when they saw Wen Han's figure, became excited, and knelt down one by one. Among these people, there are many white-haired old men who can be Wen Han's grandparents at any age. Wen Hanke couldn't hold back any longer, shouted for his life, and persuaded these people to hurry up in a pleading tone.
Wen Han had just returned to Dahan, and almost for a day and a night, he spent time with these people who had returned from the territory of Qianghu. The people were enthusiastic and excited, and the number of people was terrifying, Wen Han was really overwhelmed, and the nerves in his body seemed to be out of control, and he went here and there for a while, and he didn't know who he was talking to.
The whole person was about to toss and go numb. After entering the city, many of the people of Linhe City who had fled because of Keba Wuyan's attack half a year ago have returned. Seeing Wen Han's return, they were also very enthusiastic, and they surrounded him again, and every household in the city set up a banquet to reward Wen Han's soldiers and horses.
Wen Han also suggested that the whole city should have fun together, and let these people who returned from Qianghu also join the banquet, how could these people in Linhe go against Wen Han's will to protect Linhe City, and they all agreed at the moment. For a while, the entire riverside city seemed to be full of people, and everyone on the streets and in the houses was warmly receiving the people around them, which was very lively. On this night, the people in the riverside city were happy, enthusiastic, joyful, and generous.
Wen Han was at a certain banquet, or because he was physically and mentally exhausted, he persevered for a short time, and soon got drunk. As soon as his eyes were closed, he didn't care about anything, he fell asleep on the table, and he was still drooling. provoked Guan Yu, Xu Huang, and Gao Shun next to him to laugh loudly, and looking at Wen Han's sleeping appearance, everyone also sighed a little. Or only at this time, they will remember that Wen Han is just a young man who is only nineteen years old.
After that, Wen Han didn't know whether he walked back on his own or was carried back. He slept for almost a day and a night, and when he woke up, it was noon on the third day of his return to the river. Wen Han changed into a comfortable and loose green silk white robe, wore a silver tiger tiara, tied up his shoulder-length hair, and walked out of the room. At this time, the sun was violent, shining down, and Wen Han, who had not seen the sun for a long time, had a pain in his eyes.
"Hey! You've finally woken up! Quick, get out! Do you know how many people are there in this riverside city now? A whole 200,000 people! Riverside City is just a small city with a population of 100,000, and now the population has doubled, crowding the streets around the entire Riverside City! The extra 100,000 people were the Han people who had returned from Qianghu, and they were all waiting for you to wake up, saying that they would say goodbye to you in person before they would go back. ”
"Hmm. I understand. I'll go out. There is also Gongming, these people who have left are so numerous, and they have just returned from Qianghu, they must have no rations. This person can't go hungry, but fortunately, most of them are people from the state, and the journey back is not far. Half a year ago, we fought against Nakoba Wuyan and captured a lot of grain and grass. Go to the granary, and take out the grass and give it to the people who are returning home. ”
"I see. I'll then order my men and men to prepare. And extraordinary, your merit document was issued a month ago, and after this is dealt with, you will take a quick look. If the imperial court wants to summon you back to confer merit, you are a month late, which is a big disrespect. At that time, I am afraid that those villains will use this to play the topic and murder Yu You. ”
Xu Huang mentioned to Wen Han with some caution that on the day Wen Han came back, Xu Huang wanted to mention this matter to him. But those people were so crowded and too excited and enthusiastic that Xu Huang had few chances to get close to Wen Han, let alone say something serious. Moreover, Xu Huang knew Wen Han's character very well, even if he told him at that time, Wen Han had to greet the people first and send them away, so that he would have the heart to read this merit document.
"Hehe, I originally planned to end my wandering in this Qianghu two months ago. I don't know that there are too many unexpected things that will delay the time to come back. Well, after sending the 100,000 people of the city away, I'll come back to read the merit papers. It is really my fault to be aware of my worries. ”
Wen Han and Xu Huang smiled and said a few more words, and then walked out of the mansion. Sure enough, as Xu Huang said, as soon as he walked outside, he saw a pile of people all around. Most of them were people who were about to leave, and when they saw Wen Han coming out, they immediately surrounded them. Wen Han smiled and went to greet him, these people were enthusiastic, affectionately called this Wen Han's champion name, and because Wen Han did not like this kneeling salute, many people were bending down to salute, saying that they were going to leave this Linhe and prepare to go back to their hometown. Some of them are from Shuofang County, some are from Shangjun, and some are Wuyuan, Yunzhong, Dingxiang... It's all the people who are north of the annexed state.
Wen Han talked to him as he walked to the city gate with the support of everyone. After that, Wen Han asked the people to wait for a while. After half a pillar of incense, Xu Huang led hundreds of soldiers and came with a cart of grain. Wen Han asked the departing people to line up and receive food. These people, seeing that Wen Han thought so thoughtfully, all of them had tears flashing in their eyes, if it weren't for Wen Han's mention of not giving a heavy salute again, they would almost have to kneel down again.
Wen Han and Xu Huang also had a group of soldiers, put carts of grain and grass in front of the city gate, and distributed them to every one of the people who left, some of these people were fellow villagers, and many of them were left in a small group of five or six people. Before leaving, they either grabbed Wen Han's hand, or gave a salute, or wept tears to thank Wen Han again and again.
At the gate of Linhe City, more and more people left, and this dragon team lined up from the south of the city to half a mile outside the north of the city, and they didn't know how many people there were. Later, Guan Yu and Gao Shun saw that there were too many people, and they also led many soldiers to help. When the grain was distributed, more than a dozen carts were pulled over and sent until night, and less than half of the number left.
