Chapter 334: Worries of Rain and Dust
Yue Fei couldn't understand this kind of Tibetan script invented by the Xia people, but he knew that it might be the name of this party general.
The adjutant general called a guide, and the guide was familiar with the Xia script, and after reading the text on the heavy sword, he said that this text was the name of a Xia person, called Yeli Xiaorong.
Yue Fei looked at the dead Dang Xiang General and placed the heavy sword beside him, and just as he placed the sword in the corpse's hand, a long roar came from the sky, and the sword suddenly shattered.
Yue Fei was familiar with this whistling sound, and his heart was pleasantly surprised, he turned his head to follow the sound, and saw Sun Hui's figure flying high.
Sun Hui landed quickly towards the city, and Yue Fei couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw that there were two dying people in Sun Hui's hands.
Seeing Sun Hui's arrival, the soldiers of the Song army all cheered loudly, Sun Hui fell on the top of the city tower, threw the two people in his hands to the ground, and waved his hand to greet the soldiers.
"What are you...... From Xingqing Mansion? Yue Fei looked at the two people who were obviously party members who fell to the ground, and asked in surprise.
"Yes." Sun Hui nodded, took the leather pot sent by a guard, drank a few sips of water, and pointed to the two people on the ground, "Tie them up first, and then interrogate them well, these two people are the killers sent by Wei Muheng, the deputy commander of the Tielin Cavalry of Western Xia, to kill me, and they are also his cronies, and they know a lot of useful things, I asked briefly." You will interrogate them in detail later, and remember to plug their mouths first to prevent them from biting their tongues and killing themselves. ”
Yue Fei was startled, and immediately ordered someone to step forward and tie up the two unconscious party members, plug their mouths with cloth towels, and then drag them down.
"This Wei Muheng was able to identify your identity and sent a killer, which shows that he is a capable person." Yue Fei said, "The Wei Mu clan has been wiped out by Li Yuanhao for many years, and this person can survive and hold such an important position, which is obviously very trusted and appreciated by Lord Xia. ”
Sun Hui listened to Yue Fei's words and nodded, the Wei Mu clan was prominent in the Western Xia Dynasty, only slightly worse than the Tuoba clan of the Li family, and Li Yuanhao had half of the blood of the Wei Mu clan - his mother's name was Wei Mu Shuangyang, in the first year of Jingyou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1034), Li Yuanhao's maternal uncle Wei Mu Shanxi was executed by Li Yuanhao for opposing Li Yuanhao's claim that the emperor founded the country and resisted the Song Dynasty (unlike the "yellow robe" of Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, Li Yuanhao forced the whole party to support him as the emperor, as long as someone objected, he was beheaded, No matter who it is. Wei Mushan is both wise and brave, loyal and loyal, and has always been his right and left hand. But helping him fight the war and helping him build the country are two different things, Wei Mushan was seriously unsure of his heart, so he was loyal, constantly admonished, and asked him not to rebel, but he was killed), and tied the whole Wei Mu clan, regardless of men, women, and children, to stones and sank into the Yellow River. Looking back, Li Yuanhao came to the dormitory of Mu Shuangyang, the mother guard, with a glass of poisonous wine in his hand, knelt in front of his mother, handed over the poisonous wine in his hand, and said: The law of the country is intolerable, and it is difficult to fulfill filial piety. Wei Mu Shuangyang took the poisonous wine, drank it all, and died of poison in front of his son. At this point, the entire Wei Mu clan was wiped out by only one person.
Li Yuanhao's wife is the daughter of his maternal uncle Wei Mushanxi, a little older than him, and his cousin. Soon after, Wei Mu gave birth to a son. At this time, Li Yuanhao's other concubine, Ye Lidulan, came out and slandered Li Yuanhao that Wei Mu's son was not like Li Yuanhao, Li Yuanhao was immediately furious and executed Wei Mu's mother and son together. At this point, the entire Wei Mu clan was wiped out.
But now it seems that Li Yuanhao did not kill all the Wei Mu clan, there are still a few people who survived, and decades later, Wei Mu has descendants who have regained the trust of the Li family and held a high position, and this Wei Muheng should be one of them.
Although this Wei Muheng is very talented and resourceful, Sun Hui did not take him to heart, and what Sun Hui was most worried about was Xiao Tiantian.
He had already learned some about her situation in Western Xia from the two killers who were captured by him, and her current status in Western Xia could be said to be equivalent to her own to the Great Song Dynasty.
Thinking that she might become his opponent on the battlefield, Sun Hui was worried.
But in front of Yue Fei and the soldiers of the Song army, he must not show his worries.
"What's the recent situation? Is it still going well? Sun Hui asked.
"Our army is like a bamboo, the Xia army can be said to be vulnerable, and it is not as capable of fighting as the legend, and today it is considered to have encountered some stubborn resistance." Yue Fei said to Sun Hui, "However, this Hezhou garrison general Yeli Xiaorong is brave and brave, and he is not good at using soldiers, and our army only took one day and one night to capture the city." ”
"Did you encounter any special circumstances?" Sun Hui noticed the dead woman in white, frowned, and asked again.
"This woman...... Shouldn't it count? She was just singing and dancing at the head of the city to boost morale, and she was wounded by our army's arrows and died," Yue Fei thought about the scene of the battle at that time, and replied, "There is nothing else. ”
In Yue Fei's opinion, this woman did not play a big role in the battle, although there were several party warriors who fought to the death to protect her, but it had no impact on the final outcome of Hezhou City.
"The army has gone all the way, but has it encountered yellow sand rain dust (sandstorm)?" Sun Hui asked.
"Nope." Yue Fei was a little strange and didn't understand why Sun Hui asked this.
After the Song army invaded the land of Hehuang, it also encountered several winds and sands along the way, but in the eyes of the soldiers of the Western Army and Yue Fei and others who were accustomed to winds and sands, this was very normal, and there were guides in the army who were familiar with the weather in the northwest region, and they could warn in advance before encountering the wind and sand, so that the army could be prepared, so it did not attract too much attention from them.
"The land of the river is rich in water and grass, the land is fertile, and the wind and sand are not big, so don't worry, but if the army enters the summer realm, you must be careful of this wind and sand." Sun Hui said, "In the past, the Liao army of 170,000 people attacked the summer, but because of a yellow sand rain, it was defeated, and it must not be taken lightly. ”
Sun Hui is talking about an important battle between the Liaoxia and Xia, and it was the outcome of that great battle that changed the fate of the Western Xia, the Liao and the Song dynasty.
There are many Dangxiang people in Liao, and like the familiar households of the Dangxiang clan in the Song Dynasty, they have been raised for several generations, and they can be regarded as Liao. Li Yuanhao began to secretly recruit these people back and openly dig into the corners of the Liao Kingdom. In the fourth year of Song Qingli, the party members in the Liao State openly began to rebel, and the Liao Emperor Yelu Zongzhen sent troops to suppress it, but the result shocked the whole Liao State. Li Yuanhao sent troops across the border, actually killed the envoy of the Liao State, and took the party members of the Liao family to move back, staging the Western Xia version of the victorious escape.
