Chapter 213 Draw the sword against each other
"The Yang family is not prosperous, but now it is just a few old generals supporting the faΓ§ade, and it is no longer the past." Su An said: "But the Zhe family is different, since the beginning of the founding of the country, the brothers of Zhe Yuxun and Zhe Yuqing during the Taizu and Taizong periods, and now the Zhe Jishi, Zhe Kexing are all well-known heroes, and they are all famous in the Western Army!" β
This Lin Zhao knew that after all, there was a She Taijun who would be familiar in the later generations. In fact, Lao Taijun was from the Fuzhou family, the eldest sister of Yu Xun, and married Yang Ye. Because of the wide spread of various romances and legends in later generations, the name of the Yang family general was very loud, but the folded family was ignored.
Su An continued: "There is also the Qingjian City Seed Family, starting from the Great Confucian Seed Release, to the later Old General Chong Shiheng, and his son General Chong Ge, who are quite figures in the Western Army. There is another kind of Yong defending Western Xia on Huanqing Road, and he is a general under General Li Fugui, and he has made many military exploits. β
These are all famous generals in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Lin Zhao knows some of them. In addition to these current famous generals, there are successors, and there are two masters who have not yet become famous.
"But ah......" Su An said: "If you want to say that the most admirable person in the Western Army is the old general Wu Xianggong Di!" β
Su An has been in the Western Army for a long time, and he still has a lot of feelings, especially the appreciation and admiration between soldiers and men. The folding family and the breeding family are admirable, so Di Qing is completely an idol-like existence.
Speaking of the famous generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were Cao Bin and Pan Mei during the founding period, and Yue Fei was mostly classified as the Southern Song Dynasty. But compared with Di Qing, it is inevitable that it is a little bleak, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the most famous general was undoubtedly Di Qing Di Hanchen.
In that year, Li Yuanhao of the Western Xia was called the emperor, and Di Qing participated in the battle against the Western Xia, with a cloak and a copper mask, taking the lead and being very brave; He has made great achievements. Since then, he has made outstanding achievements and no one else has done so.
There is no doubt that Di Qing is a leader in the Western Army, a model for the world's martial artists, and an absolute hero.
Fighting in the northwest made Western Xia fearful. During the reign of Renzong, Southwest Nong Zhigao rebelled, and Di Qing led a large army to quell the rebellion. Attacked Kunlun Pass at night, defeated Nong Zhigao, and went down in history. As a result, Di Qing was promoted to deputy privy envoy and privy envoy, and the scenery was infinite.
"It's a pity!" Su An sighed again, full of helplessness and regret.
There is no other reason, it is for Di Qing's fate to sigh. In the environment of the Song Dynasty, which emphasized literature over military force, Di Qing served as a privy envoy and became a prime minister-level existence, which undoubtedly touched the face of the civil official group and attacked Di Qing in groups.
What Di Qing's dog has long horns, some people say that Di Qing's residence has a strange light at night, and even the Jingshi water is believed to be caused by Di Qing. Di Qing had no choice but to live in Xiangguo Temple, but it was considered to be an action to seize the throne, and all kinds of slanders and rumors flew all over the sky.
In desperation, Song Renzong had no choice but to demote Di Qing from Bianjing and Chenzhou. Even in Chenzhou, it seems that Di Qing is still not at ease, and the mission of sending Zhong Zhong every month is to caress and ask, which is actually surveillance. Under such strong pressure, Di Qing was under great mental pressure, and finally died of depression at the age of forty-nine.
Even if he was posthumously named Wu Xianggong later, he still couldn't get rid of the sadness and sighs in the hearts of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.
For example, Su An, he has always regarded Di Qing as an idol. Originally, the Western Army was later transferred to the forbidden army, and it was also reused by the emperor. Even so, it still can't change the problem of the low status of martial artists, and Su An, like many soldiers, feels very uncomfortable about this.
This is also why, when they met in Dengzhou, when Lin Zhao praised the martial artists, Su An was moved, and then he followed Lin Zhao carefully.
"Alas!" Lin Zhao also sighed!
The past is gone, and it can't be changed, but the future ......
Now it is already the Xining period, and it is only a jiazi from the shame of Jingkang, and the military strength is self-evident for the important surname of the Great Song Dynasty.
To say that equipment and combat effectiveness are important, but in the face of overall military thinking, they are still inferior. However, the Great Song Dynasty could not change the current thinking of emphasizing literature over military force, and the situation in the back was still difficult to improve. Even the Western Army, such the most elite army of the Great Song Dynasty, is gradually wearing off.
In the long run, the crisis is getting deeper, and it is inevitable that people will be worried!
Wang Anshi's original intention of changing the law was to make the country rich and strong, not to mention whether it can achieve such an effect, military convenience alone is enough to make people worry. As for the subsequent armor protection law, it does not give much hope......
A rich country is important, and a strong army cannot be ignored either......
Just as Lin Zhao was talking to Su An, a group of twenty people stopped at the door of the Anyuan Inn on horseback, and at the same time, another group of more than ten people walked in. In the middle is a young man who is not very old and dressed in fine clothes.
This son is also handsome, and there is even a bit of feminine softness between his eyebrows and eyes, but he is full of heroism. The demeanor and pace are also firm and steady, and there is a feeling of fitness.
Dressed in brocade clothes and holding a long sword inlaid with rubies in his hand, he stood out among the group of hurried merchants and the rough men in the inn. Maybe only the handsome Lin Zhao can be compared to it, and the others are much overshadowed.
There were more than a dozen elite men behind him, all of whom had blades in their bags, and they looked like the guards of the brocade boy. Although the Song Dynasty was extremely strict in the control of civilian weapons, it was mainly in the interior, and it is not surprising that the northwest frontier, especially the border fortresses like Dasanguan, was armed with swords.
Especially this brocade-clothed boy is extraordinary, and he seems to be either rich or expensive, and he must be very confident in daring to do this.
After the young man in brocade entered the door, he looked around and happened to hear Lin Zhao and Su An talking about the famous family of generals in the northwest. Although their voices were small, this person seemed to have exceptionally intelligent ears and eyes, and he was able to hear clearly. couldn't help but move, and glanced at Lin Zhao and Su An more.
It was the time of the meal, the seats in the hall of the inn were tight, and the boy in brocade looked around, and the fourth uncle only had two tables left at Lin Zhao's table, barely enough for them to sit down.
So he walked towards this side, but he had just reached the table and had not yet taken his seat. The gang who had just dismounted at the door rushed in, and when they saw a few empty tables, they grabbed them.
"Sorry, we arrived first!" The man beside the brocade boy stepped forward and whispered to dissuade him.
But these galloping horses were all rough and strong men, and they could be seen to be arrogant and domineering in their appearance and movements, relying on many of them to be strong, and some of them were unsightly.
"What's the matter with the first arrival? You haven't taken a seat yet, have you? That's it, brothers, look at this place, it's good, you go elsewhere! "At first, a rough man was arrogant, and even when he saw the blades in the hands of the brocade boy and others, he was not afraid.
"Friend, how can you be unreasonable?" The son of brocade seems to be well-bred and has always been very civilized.
"Be reasonable, we're very reasonable!" looks like a dead face, very proud. I don't know if I was born with such a nobody, or if I am extremely excited.
"You ......" The servant of the brocade boy was immediately a little angry!
"What's the matter, don't you accept it?" The arrogant man immediately waved his hand, and more than 20 brothers immediately surrounded him, and all of them were also holding swords.
That's right, it turns out that these people also have something to rely on, no wonder they dare to be so arrogant and call out directly.
The two parties clashed in the inn, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked up to see how both sides reacted. The sword has already been moved, and no one dares to step forward to dissuade him easily, lest he get into trouble. The owner of Anyuan Inn rushed over in a hurry, and wanted to stop it, but was suddenly pushed aside by the big man, and he couldn't get close at all.
He also saw that these people in front of him couldn't afford to provoke themselves at all. I can't stop complaining in my heart, and my business is naturally greatly affected, and I can only hope that it will not cause too serious damage. The other guests were ready to dodge if they noticed something was wrong, not wanting to be harmed.
The boy in brocade couldn't help frowning, obviously very displeased, especially when a group of big men came up, smelly and a little disgusting.
"Hey, the long thin skin and tender meat, isn't it a rabbit master? Look at the little mouth, the little nose, like a girl! Not only are these people very rude in their words, but they even have the meaning of stepping forward and moving their hands and feet.
Probably because the young man in brocade clothes looks "delicate", this statement touched the sore spot and bottom line in his heart, and he was immediately annoyed, and said coldly: "Ah Chang, send them quickly!" β
The voice was low and seemed soft, but it revealed a kind of confidence and authority, as well as a cold resentment.
Then the boy in brocade sat down directly on the bench, looking extremely confident and cold. It was a kind of contempt for the big men, so much so that they instantly became angry, cursed, and began to move.
So a very fierce conflict broke out between the two sides over some small things.
The two sides immediately drew their swords and faced each other, and the air in the small inn hall suddenly became much more tense.
Seeing this, the other guests dodged to the side, or hurried out of the inn, lest the sword hurt them without an eye.
Only the owner of the Anyuan Inn complained bitterly, hiding far behind the pillar, looking at his foundation distressedly.
As for Lin Zhao, he always sat upright and never moved. Even if Su An signaled that there was danger, Lin Zhao didn't think so.
Su An was inevitably a little nervous, lest the sword hurt his son without an eye, so he ordered a few guards around him to pay careful attention. As soon as there is something abnormal, immediately take action to protect Childe!
So in the hall of the Anyuan Inn, there was a very special scene!
The two groups of people were tense and drew their swords against each other, and in the tense atmosphere, the two handsome sons were as stable as Mount Tai! (To be continued.) )
