Chapter 305: Which is the Frontier
305 Which is the frontier
Some people say, "Shazhou City was originally a frontier town, a concentration of trade with other countries, and it is natural that this kind of false prosperity appeared." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Today, the army of the Song Empire hit Constantinople, then the Constantinople area is the place of the border fortress, and if the enemy's army hits Bianliang tomorrow, then the Bianliang City area will naturally become a frontier town in people's mouths, there is no frontier in the world, there are, just people's hearts, countless people have been here or captured, or surrendered, or died on the battlefield, or came, or left, or wandered, finally, It's called the Frontier.
Looking at the happy smiling faces of these people living in the so-called frontier, no longer afraid, no longer hesitant, no longer confused, all the thriving scenes show that this place is no longer a frontier.
The hero of every country or nation is a terrible demon for other countries or nations, because although the war has subsided, there will always be one side that disappears after the war.
Zhao Xu never said that he was a saint, nor did he go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, although the future history textbooks may record what a terrible emperor he is, but the blood on his hands will be like the evaluation of Genghis Khan in Europe in later generations, it can be said that it is impossible to make all the frontiers disappear, no matter how strong a country is, it is impossible to rule the whole world, at least Zhao Xu thinks so, maybe his descendants will do this after many years, But Zhao Xu would not deliberately do this, because the strongest force often represents more peace.
The carriage is leisurely, on the carriage with two horses, Zhao Xu yawned boredly, chatting with Wu Song without a ride, they took the country road, according to the road construction plan formulated by the Ministry of Industry, the country road of Gansu Road is not within the scope of construction, so the country road here has not been hardened construction, but although this is some dirt road, because there are few people walking around, so these roads are still relatively gentle, and not bumpy.
The car moved forward leisurely, approaching noon, although the June sun had just entered the summer, but the temperature was not low at all, although there were trees on the side of the road to shade, but Zhao Xu and his party still appeared fine beads of sweat on their heads. At the foot of a small hill on the path, Zhao Xu saw from a distance a hunter carrying a wild boar weighing more than 200 catties, striding forward like a fly, his bare arms were dark and shiny, and his bulging muscles seemed so strong and powerful.
Zhao Xu raised his eyes and saw the wild boar on Orion's shoulder, and then, Zhao Xu opened his mouth and said to himself: "I don't know if this wild boar is delicious." ”
After Zhao Yan heard this, he rode over on a horse, and said to his father with a shy face: "I want to eat too, let's rob that person." ”
Robbing their own people? This is definitely not good, how many of those dynasties that perished were destroyed because they didn't know the suffering of the people and vigorously oppressed the people, but before Zhao Xu could answer, Zhao Xu's sixth son, Zhao Bo, had already pulled out the scimitar hanging on the side of his war horse, kicked the horse's belly, leaned forward, and raised his buttocks slightly, completely in a battlefield killing posture, like a lightning bolt galloping towards the hunter.
Among Zhao Xu's seven sons, although Zhao Bo's martial arts are not as good as Zhao Qi, Zhao Lie and Zhao Chen, but they are stronger than his other brothers. Like a pair of armor condensed with murderous aura.
And look at the Orion, because of the long-term companionship with wild beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, the perception of death is naturally very familiar, Zhao Bo sat down on the war horse as he could, but the Orion who had already sensed the murderous aura also reacted in an instant, a Lai donkey rolled to avoid Zhao Bo's vigorous chopping, turned around and turned around to two sharp arrows towards Zhao Bo, Zhao Bo turned around, swept the scimitar in his hand, swept away two flying arrows, kicked the horse's belly and continued to go towards the Orion, Zhao Bo's equestrian skills are exquisite, plus the military war horses of the Song Empire, The horses used are the best, the war horses are vigorous, the horses are extremely fast, after the Orion sent the arrow, before the body could make a new reaction, Zhao Bo had already rushed to him, the sharp scimitar was cut off on the head, if this knife was slashed, it was bound to cut the Orion in half.
"Rokuro stop!!" Things happened too quickly, and when Zhao Xu reacted, Zhao Bo's scimitar had already stopped at the door of the hunter's head, and hearing Zhao Xu's words, Zhao Bo immediately put the knife back into the sheath and quietly waited for Zhao Xu's follow-up order. After Zhao Xu said this, he immediately got out of his carriage, walked quickly to the hunter and helped him up, bowed deeply to the people, and said: "The child was reckless, disturbed the strong man, and even almost took the life of the strong man, I am really sorry, and I hope the strong man will forgive me." ”
An emperor of the current dynasty, saluting to a common people, if he didn't see it with his own eyes, no one would believe it when he said that the sky was broken, even if it was a micro-service visit, the emperor was also an emperor after all, seeing his master saluting to the civilians, Wu Song and others immediately ran to Zhao Xu's side to dissuade him, and Zhao Xu didn't listen to the advice of those people at all, because his current identity is a father, a father who took the initiative to apologize to others because his children made mistakes.
"You're a general." Orion, who breathed a sigh of relief, said to Zhao Xu: "Look at your figure and your son's equestrian chopping movements are also honed from the battlefield." ”
"The eyes of the strong man, the dog has indeed been on the battlefield, but I never thought that the dog's killing heart was not lost, and it frightened the strong man, which is really my father's fault. Please also forgive the strong man. ”
"Daddy, you said you wanted to eat wild boar." Zhao Bo stood beside Zhao Xu and muttered quietly.
Zhao Xu turned to Zhao Bo and said: "Liulang, my father did say that I wanted to eat this wild boar, but my father didn't say that he wanted to kill and plunder, this strong man is not an enemy on the battlefield, nor is he a chaotic citizen of the enemy country, you are so reckless, attack your own compatriots, what is the difference between this and the enemy, quickly apologize to this strong man." ”
"Strong man, Zhao Bo was reckless, almost killed the strong man, and I hope the strong man will forgive me." Zhao Bo didn't have anything wrong with his father's fierce eyes, and immediately bowed deeply to the hunter and said.
"Don't dare, don't dare, I'm just a grass people, how dare I accept the gift of the young general, the young general please hurry up." This lord, don't you want to eat this wild boar, my grass house is in front, if you don't dislike it, please go to the grass people's grass house to taste this fresh wild boar. Seeing Zhao Xu and the others sincerely apologize, that Orion can't always hold it and not put it down, besides, he has already seen from Zhao Bo's chopping actions that he is a general, if he really offends people, he doesn't have any good fruit to eat.
Zhao Xu didn't take the car, let the hunter put the wild boar on the car, and he walked slowly with the hunter, the hunter's name is Chen Jiasheng, the name of the country's local characteristics, his home is indeed not far, walked for about fifteen or sixteen minutes, Zhao Xu and others followed Chen Jiasheng to his home, the wooden fence courtyard wall, four grass houses, is Chen Jiasheng's home.
Pushing open the courtyard door, Chen Jiasheng, who was carrying a wild boar, shouted loudly into the house: "Sister, there are guests at home, come out and entertain them." Looking at the smoke rising from the rooftop, it made a family that was not rich seem much warmer.
With a crisp echo, a young woman dressed plainly and combing a woman's hair came out of the house, and the happy Chen Jiasheng said: "Brother Sheng, you are back, these are the guests from the house." ”
"This lord, two young generals, this is my Hun family." Chen Jiasheng introduced, and said to his wife: "Sister, this is a general of the imperial court, surnamed Zhao. ”
Zhao Xu also hurriedly said to other people's wives after Chen Jiasheng finished himself: "This lady, you are polite here, these two young people are under the dog, and there are four entourages, because of hunger in the belly, they came here to bother and beg for a bite to eat, I hope it didn't bother you." ”
Chen Jiasheng's wife heard her husband say that the person in front of her was a big official, and seeing that people were so polite, she naturally had to be polite, but she didn't know any etiquette, so she had to bow to Zhao Xu and said: "This adult is polite, meeting is fate, just eating in one bite, don't be so polite." ”
There is no free lunch in the world, let alone eating these ordinary people's meals, Zhao Xu couldn't bear to eat other people's food in vain, so he took out a Seljuk gold coin from his waist that he usually played with and handed it to his wife and said: "Mrs. Chen, we are all men, and the things we carry with us are only swords and horses, and we can't give them away. ”
It is a matter of course to give money for dinner, although the Chen family didn't want it at first, but they still couldn't resist Zhao Xu, and finally had to accept it, although this is a coin from another country, but it's also made of gold, isn't it, the two happy people worked harder.
With Zhao Xu's self-familiar character, he soon became one with Chen Jiasheng, he sat in the courtyard, while watching Chen Jiasheng pick up pork, while chatting with others: "I said, Xiao Chen, I don't think you are particularly rich these days, and only you two live in this mountain, life, shopping or something, there will be a lot of inconvenience." ”
Chen Jiasheng smiled honestly and said to Zhao Xu: "Zhao Daguan, we have a hard time these days, isn't this a good policy given by the imperial court, if I go to the grassland or go to the Seljuk area with my Hun family, there will be a lot of subsidies, and life will be much better, but this is not my hometown, my parents are buried here, and I am reluctant to leave." ”
Zhao Xu thought for a while and then continued: "This is no longer a war, this place is indeed peaceful, but you have to think about your child, don't you, when you have a child, there is no school near here to teach him to read, so I will learn archery with you and be a hunter for life?" Hunting is not a long-term solution, no matter how much prey you have, you will always be shot up one day, listen to me, go to the grassland, where you can continue to hunt, you can also herd horses and sheep, the court gives you a migration and settlement fee, enough for you to buy a house. ”
"I think it's good to be an Orion, it's a side plug, and the grassland is also a side stopper, it's the same everywhere." Chen Jiasheng said with a simple smile.
Frontier? Hehe, what is a side plug, perhaps, different people will have different perceptions of the meaning of the side plug. After listening to Chen Jiasheng's words, Zhao Xu didn't answer his words anymore, because he knew that he was doing well enough, although most of the people didn't understand politics, but the words of the people in their hearts were always very reasonable
