Zhang Mao galloped away with 200 soldiers, because everyone was cavalry, and the speed was much faster than when he was on the road before. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the way, Zhang Mao told the soldiers about Zhao Gu's orders and slogans, and after hearing this, all the soldiers felt a surge of pride in their hearts, and they were quite unhappy.

No matter what era, as a soldier, this profession is born with a sense of pride, whether it is attacking the city and plundering the land, or guarding the frontier, the soldiers always have pride in their bones, for the country and the nation, they have long put life and death out of the way, even if they know that they may die, they still ignore it, and move forward.

This is a military man!

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has also made many soldiers proud, because the Great Song Dynasty unified the countries and stabilized the people, all of which were exchanged for the lives of thousands of soldiers.

But since the failure of the two Northern Expeditions, the Great Song Dynasty has been dominated by the wind of harmony, the civil officials have decided that the military generals have no power, and in the face of the frequent provocations of the Liao State and other countries, the Great Song Dynasty civil officials have chosen to compromise and compromise, and the Great Song soldiers have been saddled with the black cauldron of weakness and incompetence since then.

Today, the Great Song Dynasty once again launched a large-scale northern expedition, and Zhao Gu, who joined the army, ordered the soldiers to take their compatriots home, which once again made these soldiers feel proud of their eyebrows.

Yes, these Han people who were ruled by foreign races because of Shi Jingjiao's fault are also our compatriots!

As soldiers, we must give them stability, we must let them not be oppressed, we must let them ...... Get home safely!

The feelings in his chest rushed straight to his head, and the soldiers rushed forward as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, Zhang Mao also laughed, and whipped the horse's ass again.

After walking for an hour, a sharp-eyed soldier suddenly saw a person who seemed to be not far away, and two hundred soldiers immediately chased after him.

When they got closer, they found that this was a father and daughter, the man was slightly over fifty years old and had a face full of vicissitudes, and the woman was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a immature face.

"Who are you?" Zhang Mao asked.

"We are...... Chinese...... Liao. The old man replied.

"It turned out to be a Liao person, just kill it." One of Zhang Mao's soldiers stepped forward and raised his knife, so frightened that the old man immediately protected his daughter behind him.

Zhang Mao stopped the soldier at this time, stared at the old man for a while, and then said: "Although this old man can't tell which country he is from in terms of appearance, he is still dressed like the Han people, so don't kill the wrong person." ”

"Hey, old man, let me ask you again, are you Liao or Han?" The soldier asked.

The old man knew that the two hundred soldiers in front of him must be the Great Song army, but he was very puzzled in his heart, what did the Great Song army do when they came to the Shuozhou border? Don't...... Song Liao went to war?

"I'm Han." In the end, the old man told the truth.

When Zhang Mao heard this, he laughed: "I'll just say, I almost killed the wrong person." ”

The soldier smiled and scratched his head, as if he was very embarrassed: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I almost hurt you." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "It's okay, you are the Great Song Army?" ”

As soon as Zhang Mao saw the old man's expression, he knew that he was wondering why the Great Song army had come here, so he told him the news that the Great Song army had occupied Shuozhou City.

Then he said: "Uncle, we joined the army and said that the Great Song Dynasty will definitely recover the sixteen states of Yanyun this time, and then you will be able to live under a clear and clear sky, and there will be no more alien races to oppress you." ”

"Really?" The old man left tears when he heard this, but the fifty-year-old man cried like a child.

"Why don't you come early, if you come two months earlier, my son won't be killed by the Liao."

Zhang Mao and the others looked ashamed, and they didn't know how to answer, but the old man was reasonable, and he put away his tears after crying for a while.

The old man smiled and said, "It's the old man who is unreasonable, aren't you here now?" I can't save my son, but I can save thousands of other people's sons, I should still be happy.

”

Zhang Mao promised: "Uncle, don't worry, we will definitely not let go of these Liao, and we will definitely avenge your son." ”

The old man nodded: "Then thank you, it's still your own compatriots who are easy to talk to, those Liao people are simply unreasonable brutes." ”

Zhang Mao said: "Okay, uncle, do you father and daughter live alone?" ”

The old man replied, "We all live in the village, and there are a hundred and eighty people in the village, in the mountains not far from here. ”

Zhang Mao said: "That's great, uncle, can you take us over?" We brought a message for joining the army. ”

The old man had no reason to disagree, so he immediately brought 200 soldiers into the mountains and found the small mountain village.

The villagers in the village suddenly saw a group of soldiers coming in, and they all looked frightened, as if the soldiers were jackals, tigers and leopards, until the old man explained, they had the courage to come forward.

Zhang Mao sighed faintly in his heart, and at the same time felt more and more guilty, and when a hundred or so villagers arrived, Zhang Mao said loudly: "Fellow citizens, our Zhao Senjun said, you are all compatriots of the Han nationality, the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty court has taken you home." ”

When the villagers heard that their 'compatriots' were going home, their eyes were red, and the scenes of the past came to mind, and many people couldn't help but feel sad and cried on the spot.

"You're here, we've had such a hard time here!"

"Pity my eight-year-old grandson, but he accidentally touched the Liao soldier, and his head was cut off by the Liao soldier, they are really a bunch of brutes!"

"And my daughter-in-law who just passed the door, was robbed by the Liao soldiers, and what was sent back three days later became a corpse, they are really vicious!"

The feelings of the villagers found an outlet, and some of the bitter water that they usually didn't dare to pour was poured out, and Zhang Mao and others who listened to it were angry in their eyes, and they couldn't wait to kill all the Liao soldiers immediately.

In the end, it was Zhang Mao who stabilized everyone and said: "Fellow citizens, although my Great Song army occupies Shuozhou at present, in order to avoid the counterattack of the Liao State, please go to Shuozhou City for temporary refuge, Zhao Senjun has already prepared everything in Shuozhou City, you just need to bring some valuables." ”

The old man smiled: "Where are there any valuables, all valuable things have been looted by the Liao soldiers." ”

Zhang Mao smiled bitterly: "Then please go over directly, we have to inform the other Hanmins, so we won't bother." ”

The old man nodded, and then began to arrange for the villagers to transfer, Zhang Mao and the others watched for a while, until they confirmed that the villagers had packed up, and then got up and rushed to other places.
