Chapter 514: Root 9
The answer came both quickly and in a hurry.
In the women's camp of the Linzi Labor Camp in Qingzhou, Li Xianzhong unexpectedly saw his wife and two children who were in tears, so for a while, no matter how much defense and vigilance he had, he suddenly relaxed like a collapse, and the tears were like springs and they hugged each other and wept silently.
Although the woman was in tears, she had not suffered any obvious injury, but had lost some weight, and her hands and feet, which had been well maintained by long hours, had become rough; Even a son and a daughter were a little malnourished, and they became yellow and thin, like two small bean sprouts.
Obviously, although they are not afraid of starvation in the labor camps, they cannot avoid the hardship of their livelihood under the specific hard work and heavy work.
This result made his heart throb, and he hesitated and tangled in sorrow, with his current body in prison, but there was nothing he could do to change this situation, and even drag it down.
Especially after seeing his wife take out a few cans and a few feet of cloth that he had saved for frugality, he suddenly pushed his feelings of loss and shame to the top, and there was nothing more than this moment that made him hate his powerlessness and uselessness incomparably.
At the beginning, for the sake of the concept of loyalty to the monarch and the country, the actions and impulses of resolutely leaving his family to serve before going to the army have also become some kind of ridiculous contrast between regret and loss. And the qiē that he struggled and pursued became meaningless and priceless.
Then, from his wife's account, he learned more things, how his parents, who were too old to give up their home, decided to stay and wait for death, and how the servants and subordinates of the family had no master and absconded with each other.
After being separated from the accompanying general, how was another group of people who met on the road snatched the last bit of valuable items and dry food in the package, fortunately, the person had nothing to do, but was pushed to the ground and wore out some hands and feet.
Another example is how not long after being mixed in with the homeless people, how these foreign troops were swept out of the mountains, forcibly collected and divided into battalions, how they took their two daughters to work hard and hard, and used the little ration that was always insufficient, so that they could easily survive this terrible and cruel winter, and did not become one of the hundreds of unfortunate people who failed to survive.
Or because women can write a few words, they have become ghostwriters and letter readers among the rough-handed women, and they can get extra potato wedges and dry cakes, or an extra spoonful of chowder.
Then these foreign troops, in the traffic points in various places, set up a message list, so that those who were separated from their families could leave their names for later discovery and recognition, and being able to find Li Xianzhong was another unexpected joy that fell from the sky.
He longs and cherishes this moment with his wife and children, but the time for reunion always passes very quickly.
The woman would eventually return to work in the neodymium camp, but at least his two daughters would be able to stay with the other female children while their mother was busy with her work, with someone to take care of them, and even a gruel meal to accompany the breakfast.
However, there have never been benefits and cheap things in this world, and of course he has some use, and he soon regained his old peace and composure.
Since the other party has already pinched his wife and daughter in his hands, he is naturally not afraid of his confidence in not complying.
Then he learned that the big black man with a stuffy mouth and a gourd, called Li Tieniu, with a single word, was actually from the former Qingzhou Army, but now he has also become a member of this Southern Army, and has just passed the internal examination of the promotion, and is ready to be released into the army after the re-award, which can't help but make him have some ideas.
A day later, Yidu City, set up a pacification envoy yamen,
After listening to the results of my subordinates' reports, I nodded slightly and muttered, this is a smart person,
He only asked that his wife be given a less arduous position to take care of the children's papers, and that he did not take the opportunity to ask us for a lot of money, in an attempt to get more preferential treatment and conditions.
And he himself is willing to be at our disposal. That way, the rest will be easy.
was able to receive this Li Xianzhong, but it was an accident. It's just that my subordinate Yu Housi, when he was routinely checking the prisoner roster and the register of missing people, stumbled upon the person of the same name who appeared in my diary cheat sheet.
Therefore, I paid a little attention to it, and I didn't dare to report it without permission, but I didn't expect this result. It's really "unintentionally planted willows and willows".
Although it can't be compared to a time and space, Li Xianzhong's father and son, who were also born in Yanzhou Jiangmen, fell to the clutches of the Jin people after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, pretending to be a puppet official and leading troops to resist the Jin and return to the Song Dynasty, and did not hesitate to be brave and heroic;
After the defeat, he escaped alone, and then went to the Western Xia to continue to resist the Jin, but he always cherished his homeland, and waited for the opportunity to lead the troops to break through the siege of the Western Xia, and finally returned to the south and was praised by Song Gaozong.
Since then, he has continued to fight on the front line of resistance to Jin for decades, defeating the southern invasion of Emperor Wanyan Liang at the age of 52, and serving as the main general in the Longxing Northern Expedition after Song Xiaozong succeeded to the throne at the age of 61.
Until he died of illness four years later, he was vigorous and singable, but it can be regarded as ups and downs and remarkable.
As a representative figure with a background in the Western Army, local origins and appeal, and a representative figure who has participated in all the wars of the Northern Dynasties, if he can publicly surrender, even if it is a symbolic submission, it will be a good thing for the long-term stability of our rule.
Of course, the premise is that after being stationed in Qingzhou, he and his subordinates did not get too much involved in the blood and grudges of our soldiers.
As for the casualties in the battle between the hundreds of thousands of troops of the two countries against the Central Plains, which was the furnace of the world before, standing in their own camp, it is a matter of each doing its duty and ensuring its destiny, so there is no need to emphasize it further.
Of course
At my level and status, except for a few Terries, there is no longer a need to rely on corporal Lixian to personally meet and win people's hearts as I did at the beginning, I just need to choose the right people to explain and see the final result
meanwhile
In Guangfu, Luo Zhai, and the Big Flower Hall, it is already a cool breeze, and with the flowing and circulating indoor waterways, the air is filled with a certain moist smell, and a few girls who only wear home clothes, or even only small clothes, gather indoors to enjoy the coolness.
Some like to curl up quietly in the corner and read, some are still full of energy, practicing hanging upside down on the beam like a bat, and some are bored and annoyed to drop their routine and deliberately roll around on the ground lazily.
On the other side of the hall, as the only adult woman in the family, Cui Wanting was meticulously looking through the account book in front of the case, while Su Su was carefully holding her breath to arrange flowers.
"Are you showing off to me......"
The enigmatic creature that was looking at a new stack of letters suddenly had a smile on its lips.
"How many historical figures of the same name have been collected......"
Now, with the reopening of the sea route, taking the time to read the letters that are constantly sent in front of her, and then complaining and complaining, has also become a rare pastime and rest in addition to her busy affairs.
"Not to mention this Yue Pengju who went to Liangshan, and Liu Heshu who went down the mountain to be good"
"You let Song Gongming mix with the head of the six thieves,"
"Which one are you going to sing......"
"Do you want to collect another one, the Tong King who was blown to the sky by the eunuchs......"
"How can you get together the pit daddy template of the second emperor of Huiqin......
"In comparison, what kind of stuff did you put together in Guangfu before......
"It's just that Wu Jue is still like a little bit ......"
She was so worried that she suddenly felt a little trance, and her high upturned feet kicked into the air, and then everyone in the room heard a loud noise.
Seeing that the mysterious creature suddenly waved its hand to grab something, it let out a scream of "oops, yay, yay" in a panic, and flipped backwards to the ground on all fours......
Someone she had unintentionally talked about was also under the cover of grass in a narrow mountain area, and quickly adjusted the formation of his subordinates.
In front of them was a quiet scene that is most common in summer.
The grass warblers are flying, scattered on the hillsides and valleys, and large herds of cattle, sheep and horses are leisurely grazing grass, flicking their tails comfortably, whipping and driving away those buzzing mosquitoes and flies.
It's just that such a picture of the most common scenery of the Beisai grassland has appeared on the land of the Central Plains today, which is undoubtedly some kind of silent irony and contrast, and how the bones and blood and tears are piled up behind it.
This time, Niu Gao took this lightly mounted daring team to the valley to seize the war horses grazed by a certain large domain.
"This should be the stockyard of the Cousotian department......"
Pu Suwan, who was familiar with catching wild horses and taming horses, also stood in it wearing a leather armor, and explained in a low voice with an accent that was not very proficient
"One of the five major accounts belonging to Kumoxi......"
"There are at least twenty or thirty thousand ...... of cattle here."
"The slave households under their care should have at least two hundred tents, about more than a thousand."
"According to the old practice, there are at least 500 ...... of the control strings of the patrol guard posts."
As one of the historical origins of the successive division of the Saiwai feudal domain for hundreds of years, under the domestication and discipline of various princes, among the tribes of these Saiwai Huma, various tones of Chinese dialect and Han customs became popular, and became a common way of communication.
After a while, Niu Gao was also in a serious manner, facing the two generals and more than a dozen team generals, arranging and planning.
"It's not that hard to storm this place......"
"Defeating those patrol posts is just a face-to-face ......"
"But I want them not to break out...... Delay the discovery as long as possible."
"We have to be extra attentive......
"What's even more rare is to bring all these animals back......"
"First of all, find the head of the herd,"
"Then after you do it, you have to save the ...... of those shepherd slaves as much as possible."
"That they may cooperate and drive the animals......"
"If you really can't take it away, you will find a way to stab the vital point......"
"The villain may have some tricks ......"
Suddenly, a voice cautiously interjected, "Can lead those patrols out......"
Niu Gao couldn't help but turn his head to look, but it was the shepherd slaves he brought who finished quickly, and he couldn't help but feel a certain vigilance.
"What's in it for you...... Take a risk for it."
Although he is rough in appearance, he is not the kind of person who has no heart when he is very arrogant, especially after participating in the short training in the army on the art of war.
"Back to the general's words, the villain just wants to show something a few times,"
In front of everyone's eyes, Pu Suwan said in a somewhat nervous voice.
"It's just a matter of seeking a future in the army......"
"You want to join the army? ……”
The generals couldn't help but lower their voices and laughed, as if they had seen something surprising about the succession.
"You're just a feudal slave......"
"Enough ......"
Niu Gao suddenly interrupted them, looked at Pu Suwan's eyes with some positive colors, and then continued.
"If you can really do it, it doesn't hurt if I guarantee your background......"
"But this is a matter of the safety of all the soldiers, why should I believe you......"
"The villain is willing to take the chronic poison to remember the ......"
After finishing the speed, he gritted his teeth and said
