Chapter 36: The Return of the Wanderer
readx;
Duan De is a descendant of the Tang Army, and he has never set foot in the land of Hexi, and now he has just set foot on this hot land!
This hot land is the hot land that their ancestors dreamed of stepping on, and only by stepping on this hot land can they enter the Central Plains and return to the embrace of China, which is a way home!
However, although the Song Dynasty unified the Central Plains, it did not complete the great cause of unification of the Tang Dynasty, and was weak for a hundred years, unable to open up the strategic passage to the Western Regions, and their dream of returning home has not been realized.

It was only at this time that Duan De and his family fulfilled the long-cherished wish of their ancestors, and after a lot of hardships, they finally set foot on this hot land, and the excitement in their hearts was far beyond what pen and ink could describe, they were all excited and indescribable.
However, what made their blood rush even more was that it was just in time for the Song army to break the Western Xia and Tubo coalition armies, and the two countries were destroyed.
The two joys were combined into one joy, pushing their agitated mood to the most, and it was difficult to suppress it anymore, kneeling in the blood lake, and kept kowtowing. Every time they knock their heads, a canopy of blood will be splashed, and the bloody smell of blood will splash into their mouths, making people almost sick, but they are not tired of it, and they are as devout as believers come to the holy place in their hearts!
No, to be precise, more religious than a pilgrimage!
"Western Xia is gone!"
"Tibet is gone!"
Duan De and the others shouted, bowed all the way, and went straight forward. In this way, he bowed his head step by step and bowed for dozens of miles.
I saw countless Song Jun carnival, yelling and screaming frantically, with a face of joy and endless joy rushing straight to Xiaohan, making people's blood boil.
"The army of the Tang Dynasty is nothing more than that!" Duan De looked at the cheerful Song Jun, and he was very excited. I have heard for a long time that the Central Plains is weak and cannot raise the army, but now I see it, it is even better than he imagined, the Song army is not under the Tang army, as a descendant of the Tang army, Duan De, as if he saw the resurrection of the old ancestor, he was excited: "Woo! He cried with joy, and even covered his face and cried bitterly.
"Stop! Where did the annihilation come from! ”
Just as he was crying happily, he heard a deafening roar, and a group of Song troops rushed over, pointing their swords at their necks, looking at them vigilantly, as if they were guarding against the enemy.
"Don't get me wrong! Don't get me wrong! ”
Duan De was not only not nervous, but even more happy, and screamed: "I'm not a bad person! My name is Duan De, and I'm from the Western Regions! It's here to bring rescue soldiers and ask Wang Shi to march into the Western Regions and save the people from hanging upside down! ”
"From the Western Regions? Just you? Song Jun obviously didn't believe it.
Since the Tang Dynasty withdrew from the Western Regions, the Western Regions were almost isolated from the Central Plains, and there was only occasional exchange of information, and no one would believe it.
"It's true! It's true! Duan De was a little anxious, if he couldn't make the soldiers believe it, he couldn't see Wu Ji, he raised his eyebrows, and immediately had an idea, hurriedly took out something from his arms, handed it to Song Jun and said: "My ancestor is a general of the Tang Army, this is what he left, you see, you see!" ”
Song Jun took a look at this thing and commented: "This is very tattered? It's in tatters, and it's hundreds of years old at a glance! You're so bold, you actually use this kind of rag to coax people, hum, I can't spare you! ”
"Who is Duan Xiushi? Haven't heard of it! ”
Duan De was so angry that he almost tilted his nose to the side, and hurriedly explained: "That's my ancestor, it's my ancestor!" ”
"Regardless of your ancestors, this thing is too tattered to be taken seriously." Song Jun would never believe that this thing was of great use, as if he wanted to take down Duan De.
"I want to see Wu Dashuai, I want to see Wu Dashuai! Whether it's true or not, Wu Dashuai is wise and wise, he will definitely be able to identify it! Duan De was really anxious, he worked tirelessly to come, he must not fall short, he must see Wu Ji.
"The marshal is busy with military affairs, which is what you say you can see!" Song Jun still refused.
Wu Ji has a lot of military affairs, and he can't even take care of eating when he is busy, so he can see him if he wants to.
"You take this thing to the marshal, and the marshal will definitely see me!" Duan De thought to himself that this was also the case, if he wanted to see Wu Ji, he had to make Wu Ji feel the need to see him: "This doesn't take much effort." ”
Song Jun thought that it would not be difficult to get a brand, but Wu Ji glanced at it, agreed, and asked Duan De and them to stay honestly, and then went to report.
Wu Ji was throwing Zhou Wei up and down, and he was full of joy. The Song army can hit Hexi and destroy Western Xia, Wu Ji will be the first to take the lead, and when he succeeds, how can Zhou Wei not throw Wu Ji.
Zhou Wei and the others all looked excited, looking at Wu Ji as if they were looking at a saint!
This soldier arrived, but Zhou Wei stopped him, and Zhou Wei scolded: "You don't want to think about it, this is the season, and there is no need to report it if it is not a big deal." ”
"General, this is a bit bizarre." Song Jun briefly explained the situation and presented the sign.
Zhou Wei took it in his hand and looked at it over and over, but he didn't see a Mingtang, so he was about to throw it away, only to hear Wu Ji ask, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhou Wei handed the brand casually, counted it down in a contemptuous tone, and didn't take the brand in his eyes. However, before he finished his words, he only heard Wu Ji shouting: "Shut up!" Where did this brand come from? ”
"This ......" Zhou Wei was stunned for a moment and shut up unnaturally. Seeing the solemn look on Wu Ji's face in his eyes, he knew that this brand had a great background, but he couldn't understand it, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Do you know who Duan Xiushi is?" Wu Ji shook the sign in his hand and asked in a deep voice.
"Dashuai, I think it's a little familiar, I can't remember it for a while!" Zhou Wei touched his forehead and replied contemplatively.
"It's familiar!" The generals echoed in unison, but they were a little confused, and they couldn't remember for a while what kind of character Duan Xiushi was.
"Duan Xiushi was a famous general of the former dynasty, and he participated in the battle of Talas with Gao Xianzhi and Li Siye, and he was a general of the former dynasty at that time!" Wu Ji glanced at the generals and said loudly: "This is his official spy, which was sent to him by Emperor Xuanzong of the previous dynasty!" ”
"Such a big deal! No wonder it's familiar! The generals were suddenly surprised again.
Tang Xuanzong is famous, first, he worked hard in the first half of his life to push the Tang Dynasty to the most powerful "Kaiyuan Prosperous Era", which is admirable. However, in the second half of his life, he was obsessed with wine, ignoring the government and politics, and was taken by An Lushan, so that there was the famous "Anshi Rebellion", and the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline and finally collapsed.
It can be said that Tang Xuanzong was extremely prosperous, and Tang Xuanzong was destroyed!
This official spy turned out to be sent by him, who can not be surprised?
Not to mention, the Battle of Talas is very famous, it is the farthest point of the Tang Dynasty's westward advance, and the Tang Dynasty stopped at the city of Talas, making future generations sigh. The Song army invaded the land of Hexi this time, which was to march into the Western Regions, and all the generals were attentive to the affairs of the Western Regions, but they didn't expect that this was Duan Xiushi's official card, who could not be surprised?
During the Battle of Talas, the main commander of the Tang Army was Gao Xianzhi, the deputy general was Li Siye, and the other general was Duan Xiushi, and the three of them jointly organized and initiated the Battle of Talas.
Although the Tang army was finally defeated, they cannot be blamed, the military strength of the Tang Dynasty in the Western Regions is not too strong, and the Great Food has an absolute superiority in troops, although the Tang Army pressed the Great Food for five days and five nights, but could not achieve the final victory, only to give the Great Food a ride, rebelled against the traitors, let go of the side, the Tang Army fell into a heavy siege, had to be defeated!
This Song Jun listened to Wu Ji's explanation, and then knew that he almost missed a big event, and his heart was frightened, so he didn't allow Wu Ji to ask, and told him about it, Wu Ji was overjoyed: "Xixia is dead, Hexi has been decided, soon, we are going to march into the Western Regions, and just as we need a guide, Duan De is here, this is the Great Song Dynasty!" Huaxia Dangxing! When the big boom! ”
"Huaxia Dangxing!"
No matter how coincidental it is, it can't be such a thing, except for the explanation that it is the will of heaven, the ancients have no other explanation, Zhou Wei and they are all overjoyed, and they roared.
Wu Ji pressed down with both hands and motioned for the generals to be quiet, and then Wu Ji spoke loudly: "Brothers: Western Xia is destroyed!" Tibet is gone! The Great Song Dynasty is about to enter the Western Regions! On this occasion of great joy, the relatives of the Western Regions have come to Hexi, and we will welcome them with the grandest ceremony! Welcome home to your loved ones in the Western Regions! ”
"Welcome home to your relatives in the Western Regions!"
The soldiers erupted with an earth-shattering roar, reaching the nine skies!
Duan De waited for a long time and didn't move, thinking that Wu Ji would not see him, so he couldn't help but sink his heart. Just when he was sad and disappointed, Song Jun suddenly burst out with such an earth-shattering roar, one of his hearts almost jumped out of his chest, and he was so excited that his head was buzzing, staggering, and almost falling to the ground.
"We're home! We're home! ”
Sui Cong who came with him was also overjoyed, and tears poured out like water, and he cried with a whimper.
I saw that the Song army was lined up in a neat formation, leaving a passage, and Wu Ji led the generals to stride over, and opened his arms far away.
There was nothing unusual about these arms, but when Duan De saw it, he couldn't hold back it anymore, his tears fell straight down, he trembled with excitement, pounced on him, hugged Wu Ji tightly, and cried on Wu Ji's chest!
"Woo!" The soldiers who came with them hugged Zhou Wei and their generals tightly, crying into tears.
This is a painful cry, not only Duan De and they cried into tears, but even Wu Ji and they also cried tears straight down, not for anything else, blood is thicker than water, relatives see each other, and they are extraordinarily affectionate.
Duan De wept while telling the situation in the Western Regions. Wu Ji They heard it in their ears and were shocked in their hearts, no one thought that there was still a resistance force in the Western Regions, more than 100 and 200 years later, they were still resisting and fighting against foreign races, how shocking this was!
"Did you all hear that? Although the previous dynasty is dead, the army of the previous dynasty is endless, and it is still fighting against foreign races! The Tang army is endless, and the battle is endless! This kind of tenacity is far beyond our comparison! Wu Ji was full of emotion and said: "Although we have won many battles, and our combat strength is not under the army of the previous dynasty, but compared to the tenacity of our hearts, we are ashamed!" ”
A good army can not only win battles, but also be able to defeat battles, and also be able to persevere in the face of hardships and hardships, which requires tenacity. This kind of heart surname requires long-term accumulation and tempering, in this regard, the Song army and the Tang army cannot be compared, after all, the Tang army survived one big war after another, and the Song army rose not long ago, and the accumulation was not enough.
"Don't worry, we have broken the Western Xia and Tubo, these two places can no longer threaten the march of the Great Song Dynasty, we will take a break and recuperate, and we will send troops to the Western Regions!" Wu Ji patted Duan De's shoulder and comforted him.
This is not only a comfort, but also a promise, but also a statement, the Song Dynasty's march into the Western Regions has entered the countdown!
