"Because I am from the Song Dynasty, I have to help the Great Song Dynasty. After all, the Great Song Dynasty is my homeland, and one day I hope to return to my hometown and return to my roots! ”

The homesickness that the man had suppressed for many years exploded, which made people feel a lot of emotion, he was originally from the Song Dynasty, but he had lived in Liao for more than 20 years, and this forbearance and perseverance were really admirable.

Zhao Gou and Zhao Yougong looked at each other, lowered their heads and pondered for a moment, they looked at the person in front of them again, and they didn't doubt what he said. Because they saw the tears in the man's eyes, and it was an indescribable feeling.

However, the two of them were also confused. If it was only a Song person, it would not be possible to take a risk, unless it was a situation. That is, his ancestors used to be Song people, and they were forced to stay in Khitan as a last resort, and only this reason can make sense.

"Dare to ask the general's name?" Zhao Gou asked again.

The man replied, "Jerew Wai'an! ”

"Yelu" is the surname of Liao, not to mention the relatives of the Liao Emperor, but also a symbol of status. After all, there are many surnames "Xiao", but ministers and meritorious people can be awarded. However, the surname "Jerod" is not something that can be given casually.

"Are you a relative of Emperor Liao?" Zhao Gou pondered for a moment and said in a low voice: "But you are a Song person again?" ”

Yelu Huai'an saw that Zhao Gou and the others were puzzled, and said lightly: "My great-grandfather is from the Song Dynasty, and my great-grandmother is Princess Liao. ”

"Are you a descendant of the Yang family?"

Zhao Gou was taken aback, there is only one person who is very similar to such an experience, that is, Yang Shilang was recruited by Liao as a concubine, and his heir is not only a descendant of the Yang family, but also a relative of the Great Liao Emperor, with two surnames.

As far as he knew, Yang Shilang had already returned to the Central Plains to reunite with his family. Moreover, he is also the longest-lived person in the Yang family.

Zhao Gou followed this line of thought, constantly reasoning, and he guessed that only the descendants of the Yang family had this possibility. If other Song people can marry a princess, it is not a simple matter, only a brave and warlike general can do it.

Now Yelu Huai'an has lived in Liao for more than 20 years, not only did not forget to return to the Central Plains, but also helped the Song army, this patriotic enthusiasm is only the descendants of those generals who fought on the battlefield.

"Descendants of the Yang family?" Zhao Yougong frowned, shook his head and said: "I remember that no one in the Yang family went to the Khitan to become a concubine, and there was something wrong before, but they all came back. ”

Zhao Yougong and Zhao Gou both felt a little strange, they didn't say that they knew all the Wenchen and military generals in the Song Dynasty, but those famous generals knew some.

"Have you ever heard of 'Shichiro Bahui'?" Yelu Huai'an did not rush to deny it, nor did he agree to it, but asked such a sentence in a hurry.

"Shichiro Hachiki?"

Yelu Huai'an said, "The seven generals of the Yang family must be known to everyone, but how many people know that there is another person in the Yang family, that is, Yang Hui." ”

"Are you a descendant of Yang Hachiro?"

Zhao Gou was shocked, he had heard of Yang Bamei, but Yang Balang really didn't know. However, Yelu Huai'an's words made him guess that he was the descendant of Yang Balang, a Song person, and a general, and the most important thing was that Yang Hui's deeds were not well known.

Yelu Huai'an revealed his life experience and inventory, Zhao Gou and others also knew his origin, and these Zhao Gou guessed that Xiao Puda was also clear, otherwise he would not have told Yelu Huai'an about Zhao Gou.

Yang Balang's real name is Wang Shun, and he is the widow of Wang Linggong, and at that time Yang Ye was the superior general of Wang Linggong and Wang Jin. Yang Linggong was besieged by the Liao army and almost died, if it weren't for Wang Jin breaking out of the siege and moving to Huyanzan to relieve the siege, I'm afraid Yang Linggong would have died in battle.

Although Yang Linggong survived, Wang Jin was seriously injured and died. Before his death, Wang Jin entrusted his son Wang Shun to Yang Linggong to raise, and Yang Linggong agreed to come down and accept him as a righteous son, changed his name to Yang Shun, and expressed Yanshun.

The seven langs of the Yang family are all good at fighting and have long been famous, but Yang Shun is not well-known and not famous at all, he is still young, and the brothers treat him like a brother and take good care of him.

It can be said that Yang Shun is doing better, and he is a little sensible and determined to become a general who charges into battle, just like his father and brother.

However, the bad news of Yang Linggong's death in battle deeply shocked the entire Yang family and even the entire Great Song Dynasty. Pan Meilian was demoted three levels, the emperor was furious, and all relevant personnel were demoted, or severely punished.

At the same time, the entire Yang family fell into even greater panic. Because the two brothers Yang Shilang and Yang Balang were nowhere to be found, they followed Yang Linggong to fight together, Yang Shilang was already in his twenties at that time, and Yang Shun was only sixteen years old.

In the end, they did not die in battle, and only one of the eight brothers was killed. As for the two of them, they became the concubines of the Liao Dynasty, and the two brothers lived together in a foreign country and always wanted to return to the Central Plains.

In the end, Yang Shilang returned to the Central Plains as he wished, and even the princess of the Liao Dynasty also went back. This made Liao very worried, so he took strict care of Yang Shun, and finally had no chance to go back, but stayed in Daliao and lived until his death.

Yang Shun's greatest wish before his death was to let his children and grandchildren return to the Central Plains and return to their roots. However, his wish never came true, and he died depressed.

Yang Shun used his real name Wang Shun in Liao, and never used the surname "Yang", and he told his descendants to use it only when he returned to the Central Plains. Since Yang Shun was recruited as a colt, his son could use the surname "Yelu", which became the most used name of Yelu Huai'an.

"When my great-grandfather was alive, he told future generations that they must return to the Central Plains. Even if he's dead, bring him back! Yeluhuai said loudly, his eyes slightly reddened and very excited.

Zhao Gou said in a deep voice: "Where are General Yang's ashes?" ”

Yelu Huai'an was shocked, glanced at Zhao Gou differently, paused for a moment, and then replied, "It's in my mansion in Nanjing City!" ”

Zhao Gou glanced at Zhao Yougong, he nodded understandingly, and went out first. Then, Zhao Gou asked Yelu Huai'an to take him there.

After Zhao Yougong went out, he immediately set off to the camp to pass on the military order of the marshal, all the generals must wear armor and arrange them in two rows, and everyone was surprised.

In addition, Zhao Yougong personally found Yang Yizhong and told him about Yelu Huai'an. Yang Yizhong was stupid, he didn't expect Yelu Huai'an to be the same generation as himself and a descendant of the Yang family.

Zhao Yougong led all the generals directly to Yelu Huai'an's residence in Nanjing City to arrange the formation, and gave the highest treatment with the highest standard military salute.

Yelu Huai'an led Zhao Gou to the mansion, Zhao Gou followed, and the two came to a separate garden, and finally saw the urn, as well as the ranks, and his father.

Yelu Huai'an knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, and Zhao Gou also bowed. Then, Yelu Huai'an picked up the urn again, and walked out of the garden.

When the two of them opened the door, they found that Zhao Yougong led all the generals to gather here, and in his dumbfounded gaze, everyone unanimously held their heads high and gave the highest respect.

Yang Yizhong took a step forward, was very excited, and said sonorously: "Brother, I'll take you home!" ”

"Thank you!"

Yelu Huai'an didn't know how to express his mood at this moment, the ancestor's wish finally came true, he completed the ancestor's will, took his ashes back to the Central Plains, and returned to the roots.
