Chapter 646: Broken Leaf River

@@@@@

The westernmost part of Daqing Pond is the mouth of the Broken Leaf River, the valley of the Broken Leaf River is in an east-west direction, about 400 miles long, and the widest part is 160 miles;

The snow-capped peaks on both sides, towering into the clouds, many hot springs in the mountains, and pleasant valley climate, are important passages connecting the east and west, and are known as another "Hexi Corridor" on the Silk Road.

After Yang Yi led the army into the valley of the Xiayechuan River, he went all the way to the west, and there were many farmlands in the valley, most of which were reclaimed by the Han people during the Tang Dynasty;

Small canals along the river lead the clear water of the Shiba River to the farmland, and the Shiba River, which flows westward, nourishes the entire river valley.

Since Yang Yi left Liaoyang City, he has traveled thousands of miles, passing through either grasslands or deserts, and it is the first time to see such a dense farming area, and to see the remnants of the Han farming civilization;

This made him enter the Broken Leaf River for the first time, and immediately felt a sense of intimacy with this river valley.

It is thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, but this is Li Bai's hometown, and there have been countless Han people who have trekked along the Silk Road, and they have used their industrious hands to open up patches of fertile fields on both sides of the Broken Leaf River;

Spreading the civilization and wisdom of the Han people here, there have been countless Han men who threw their heads for this land, spilled their blood, and died in battle.

Three hundred years have passed, the vicissitudes of the world have changed, the light of the Tang Dynasty has long receded, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Han people trapped in the Western Regions have shed many blood and tears, they have either become lonely ghosts under the butcher's knife of the alien race, or have been assimilated in the enslavement of the alien race.

When three hundred years later, the dragon banner of the Han family hunted the west again, and the iron cavalry of the Han family shook the Broken Leaf River again. There are no more Han people cheering on the road, and there is no more familiar local sound.........

History is so heavy. Yang Yi didn't want to think about it, and said:

Hu Bottle fell purple sweat.

Broken Leaf City West Autumn Moon Regiment.

Ming Xingchi sealed the sword,

Cijun took Loulan overnight.

Adella listened to it and asked softly, "You have just won the battle, but you seem to be unhappy in your heart. ”

Yang Yi put aside the chaos and said with a faint smile: "I am naturally happy to win the battle, but such a victory is not uncommon for me, and there will not be too many surprises;

It's like the first time I ate Illino's sweet melon (cantaloupe), I think it's the best taste in the world. But Her Royal Highness the princess has eaten too much, and she feels normal. ”

Adella smiled, although Yang Yi's words were suspected of boasting, but they were the truth, with his countless military exploits, no one time was necessarily worse than this one, such a victory was indeed like a commonplace for him.

Yang Yi then said half-truthfully: "This kind of credit will not only not bring me any benefit, on the contrary. I still have to worry about the high merit and the lord, and now above the Tokyo court, the voice of impeachment of me is only afraid that it is about to collapse the Jinluan Palace, Your Royal Highness the princess. Can I be happy? ”

Adella blurted out, "Then why do you still do this thankless job.........."

Adella really wants to say that you just give me back Xizhou, but if you say this, it will only attract Yang Yi's ridicule. So when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Yang Yi looked at this exotic beauty, she was wearing trousers today. Covered with a flower skirt sewn from Edley silk, Edler silk is mostly woven with emerald green, royal blue, yellow, green lotus, peach blossom and other colors. The pattern is like a colorful cloud flying, the color is bright and beautiful, rich and gorgeous.

Outside the dress, he wore a short cardigan, which was embroidered with beautiful flowers on the neckline, chest, cuffs, shoulders, and skirt;

Even the light veil on the face is also embroidered on the edges, which is very rich in national characteristics, gorgeous and mysterious;

Yang Yi estimated that the Xizhou Hui were the predecessors of the later Uyghurs, because Adella's outfit was very similar to the costumes of later Uyghur women, and her appearance also had the characteristics of Uyghur women.

Although Adella didn't finish her words, Yang Yi could guess what she wanted to say, but she didn't reveal it, she just sighed: "For me, this is indeed a thankless task, but compared to the soldiers behind me, what is it?"

In every battle, they fought with their lives, they stained the banner of the Great Song Dynasty red with blood, and defended the peace of the people with their lives, and they could bury their bones at any time;

But they got very little, and the reward from the imperial court in the future was only enough for them to add three or two acres of thin land to their families, but they were still willing to leave their hometowns, fight on the battlefield, and die generously. ”

Yang Yi was very surprised to hear Adella's words, in her opinion, soldiers fighting on the battlefield are the same as farmers going to the fields to plow, this is a matter of course, how can Yang Yi say so noble.

Yang Yi didn't ask her to understand, this is the limitation of the times, this era is highly hierarchical, there is no concept of equality at all, whether it is a soldier or a lower-class people, in the eyes of the nobles, they are all as cheap as grass;

Just as Su Dongpo said before, the people paid food and labor for labor, and the soldiers bled and worked hard, just like oxen and horses ploughing the land, everything was what they should have endured. As a nobleman, there is never too much mercy for their efforts.

Adella hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a fact that you are a great achievement, so what are you going to do?" You must know that since ancient times, such people have not ended well, don't you worry? ”

"That's why I'm worried right now, what should I do? What am I going to do? Alas! ”

Yang Yi let out a long sigh, which made Adella empathize, and couldn't help frowning her slender eyebrows.

As a result, Yang Yi soon laughed heartlessly again, which made Adella feel very wronged, and she was worried about him in vain, hum!

Yang Yi immediately teased: "Her Royal Highness the princess seems to be worried about me, why is this pinching?" Can I think that Her Royal Highness the princess's heart has secretly belonged to me? ”

"You ........." Yang Yi's words undoubtedly made the girl's heart naked, and Adella was embarrassed and avoided him far away.

Now it was finally quiet, and Yang Yihu shouted: "Speed up the march." ”

The guards looked at each other, and for a while they couldn't figure out whether this was Yang Yi's military order, and when they saw Yang Yi galloping away first, they all shouted: "The commander has an order, speed up the march, the commander has an order, speed up the march..............."

The army soon galloped and rolled westward with a cloud of smoke and dust.

After rushing for eighty miles, we arrived at the city of General Peiluo, which should have been built by Pei Luo, the bone spur of the Hui Khan in the Tang Dynasty, and the bone spur Pei Luo was canonized by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty as the Bone Lu Vigaque Huairen Khan, and was the founder of the Hui Khanate.

General Pei Luo's city is not big, and when Yang Yi and the others arrived, they had already been captured by Liu Wu's vanguard army.

Yang Yi didn't stop here for long, because about twenty miles west of General Pei Luo's city, it was the Eight Thorns Shagon, that is, the Broken Leaf City.

Broken Leaf City, is there still Li Bai's immature children's voice there, reading aloud like Fu............
