Chapter 70: One Gain and One Loss
readx;.
Whether it is a traitor or a loyal minister, they first have a common identity called an official, what is an official? Officials are the spokesmen of the people of the world, although this spokesperson is not chosen by himself, but read by reading. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Even if the traitor is a traitor, he must speak for the people at some point, or for the dynasty, and only in this way can his words and deeds be in line with his official status.
Many times we think that traitors like people just don't do, and they plot all day long to frame Zhongliang or enrich their own pockets, but this is not the case, because because of their official status, they are destined to devote most of their time and energy to their duties. What little energy is left is used for framing and desecration!
If a traitor is not even qualified for his own position, that kind of person is not called a traitor, but a mediocre official, and if the boss does not have any special hobbies, his official position will not be able to last for a few years anyway.
All traitors are basically well-informed heroes, and no matter where they are thrown, they are all heroes among people.
A traitor is a wise man who does not use his heart and eyes in the right direction.
Li Chang is in between, he is not a pure traitor, and certainly not a loyal minister, his interests are in his own family, not in the country.
When there is an entanglement of interests between the family and the country, he must abandon the country and save the family, when the interests of the family and the country are highly unified, he is a rare minister, he is loyal to his ancestors, but he is not willing to shed blood for the entire Chinese family.
For such a person, Yun Zheng actually has an appreciative attitude, such a real villain with a loss of personal morality seems to be more likable than those hypocrites, at least he lives a very real life.
Everyone is selfish at heart. There is nothing to argue about, Li Chang is just making a small mistake of putting the interests of some people above others.
We make such mistakes every day, from the seller of steamed buns to the emperor, no one is clean, so Li Chang can say these egoistic words impassionedly in front of Yun Zheng, and it is a matter of course.
Of course, Yun Zheng would not criticize Li Chang. He is not qualified to criticize, at least this guy adopted a little baby girl, it can be expected that this little girl's life in the future will be very perfect, and Li Chang will definitely take care of this little baby girl with more love than loving his own child, because, for Li Chang, conscience finds this kind of thing too rare, much more difficult than giving birth to a child.
Li Qing, who had the same experience. At this time, he felt that the sky had fallen, his conscience was torn open by the eight-bull crossbow, and his body was broken into two parts, no matter how hard Li Qing tried to bridge it together, it was to no avail, the woman fell to the ground like that, half of her body was in Li Qing's arms, and the other half of her body fell on the sand. Only the internal organs are entangled......
The sudden attack continued, and the Song army that launched the surprise attack poured out of the bushes on both sides like locusts. Before they appeared, gunpowder shells had been raging like a frenzy, and the vanguard of the Ponjo Army was like a flock of ants doused with boiling water.
If it weren't for the woman's efforts to push Li Qing off the camel, it would have been Li Qing who died under the eight-bull crossbow......
The fatal blow that he launched at the risk of all his courage did give the Tanguts on the march a blow to the head.
According to the operational principles of the Song army, all the Song troops delivered the most intense firepower coverage to the battlefield at the first time. Eight ox crossbows, ballistas, gunpowder shells, incendiary bombs, strong crossbows. Every weapon is working frantically, and the only idea is to inflict the most painful damage on the Tanguts at the first time, and quickly crush the courage of the Tanguts to resist.
The eight-bull crossbow and ballista that Li Qing relied on very much were almost destroyed by the firearms of the Song army in the first place, and the battlefield was littered with fragments of long-range weapons that Li Qing had spent a lot of money on.
Li Qing's efforts were in vain, the woman's eyes were already covered with a layer of dust, life had been gone for a long time, and the lifeless corpse was nothing more than a pile of rotting flesh for Li Qing.
He threw away the woman's body, stood up with a roar, drew his long knife, and launched a counter-charge at the rolling Song army with a roar.
This was the first reaction of Li Qing in the time when the Poxi army was attacked, and the standard-bearer who was originally standing behind him and desperately watching the Song army kill saw that the general began to charge, so he shook Li Qing's banner and followed the charge.
The remnants of the Tangut people, inspired by the general's actions, went crazy like wild beasts, shouting and following Li Qing to fight back against the Song army.
The shield in Li Qing's hand was already full of crossbow arrows, and he even had a crossbow arrow stuck in his left shoulder, but he didn't seem to care very much, there was no look in his eyes, it was as cold as two grains of ice, and his body dodged, rolled, and attacked according to the instinct of a warrior, but there was no intention to retreat.
The shield smashed over a Song soldier who rushed over, dodged the spear that stabbed over, and the long knife slashed at Song Jun's neck, but he didn't cut off his head, Li Qing wouldn't do anything to waste his strength, just kill people, there was no need to cut off his head together.
Holding the spear under his ribs, he turned around and swept away, picking the throat of another Song soldier, and the long knife turned into lightning and stabbed into the chest of a Song soldier holding a strong crossbow.
Kicked away a fiery gunpowder bullet, and a Song soldier was pierced on the tip of the spear, and the Song soldier was pushed back again and again by the huge force from the spear, until the spear penetrated his body, and he fell to his knees and trapped Li Qing's spear.
A thick crossbow spear whistled from a distance, for this sound, Li Qing had an unforgettable cognition, took a step to dodge the crossbow, abandoned the spear in his hand, picked up a flail from the corpse, and the barbed iron armor elbow bombarded a Song army's face.
The iron ball in front of the flail smashed on the person's ** with a screaming sound, making a tooth-aching sound, and the Song army who was hit by the flail was like being bombarded by a battering ram, his chest collapsed, and the blood broke out of his mouth together.
A chain hammer flew silently from the left side, Li Qing, who didn't have time to twist his body, could only slightly turn his body sideways, the chain hammer smashed on his shoulder, smashing the head of the ironclad beast with shoulder guards, Li Qing snorted, and two locks of blackened blood flowed out of his nostrils.
Turned his head and looked fiercely at the Song Jun who suddenly plotted, the Song Jun who succeeded in the surprise attack saw Li Qing looking at him, and turned around and left without thinking about it, this Xixia fierce general was already a turtle in the urn, there was no need for him to risk continuing to attack, he only needed to lead him to the place where his comrades had the most, and he would naturally die under the random arrows.
Li Qing's standard-bearer has lost an arm, and the banner doesn't know where to go, but he is holding a war horse in his hand, at this time, the Xixia people have lost the opportunity because of the boss's inaction, and now they are fighting on their own, the fall of the Poxi army is just around the corner, the standard-bearer is anxious in his eyes, and with the help of his companions, he came to Li Qing's side, stuffed the reins to Li Qing and shouted: "General, go quickly!" ā
Li Qing glanced indifferently at the dying standard-bearer, grabbed the reins and turned over on his horse, and took a standing spear from the corpse with his backhand, he was ready to continue to pursue the Song army who had injured him.
The standard-bearer stabbed the short knife in his hand on the butt of the war horse, and Li Qing, who had no time to adjust the direction, was carried by the war horse and fled, running very embarrassed, no matter how much he wanted to twist the head of the war horse in the right direction, the crazy war horse still twisted his head and instinctively ran towards a place where there was no one.
The cultivators on the white clay platform ignored the Western Xia people who were scattered and fled, and in the absence of food, those people simply did not have the capital to continue to live.
He was concerned about the huge group of slaves escorted behind the Poxi army, and the purpose of this battle itself was to prevent the Western Xia people from continuing to transport Liao slaves to the northwest.
Now that the purpose of the operation has been achieved, three or two deserters are not to be worried.
As soon as he thought that Zhangbei Swallow City had been taken by his own surprise attack, his heart was full of pride, who said that the Western Army was inferior to the Western Army of Beijing? (To be continued......)
