Wu Yingxing's heart is also, this era of horses are completely consumables of war, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to Mount Tai and control the North Sea, decades of life and gathering of millions of war horses, the Han army went straight into the desert, although defeated the Huns, but the soldiers did not survive one, the war horses almost did not return, China's wealth was exhausted, it can be seen that the large-scale war has greatly damaged the horses. The nomads of the northern grasslands of northern China were able to fight in groups of hundreds of thousands of horses with extravagant cavalry.

But Daizhou also maintains a cavalry, these Khitan war horses are not easy to come by, Wu Yingying can not fully accept Liu Jiye's good intentions, and firmly thanked: "De deeply feels the good intentions of Liu Jiedu and Jianxiong Army, but they are deserved, it is better to do this, War Horse Lanzhou and Daizhou take half each." ”

Liu Jiye didn't want to say much, but seeing Wu Yingying's insistence on resigning, he nodded and said, "It's okay." His Duyu Marquis Wang Gui has been greedy for these Khitan horses for a long time, and his hands are about to reach his neck, but he is generous, only to hold his hands fiercely, and he can't help applauding and cheering for Wu Yingying's resignation in his heart, and he was relieved to hear that Liu Jiye finally accepted the war horse, and he was relieved as if he didn't wait for Liu Jiye's orders, and almost arranged for the soldiers to choose the war horses with the soles of his feet. He chose this way differently, leaving all the high-grade war horses to Lanzhou, and Daizhou only took away half of the inferior war horses. Liu Jiye suppressed himself from others, won the hearts of the army, and governed the army very strictly, Wang Gui knew that he wanted to enrich Lanzhou, so he did not dare to disobey the command, just leave the good horse to the Lanzhou army. However, even the inferior half of the war horses were far better than the usual piecemeal seizures, or the horses obtained from the Huhan market.

In order to prevent the Khitan army from making a comeback, after simply cleaning the battlefield, the Daizhou army escorted the Lanzhou army and civilians to set off again, the "Jianxiong Army Festival Yang" word banner and the "Tuhun Army Command Wu" word banner hunting and hunting, the military prestige arrived, along the way even half of the horse thieves who explored did not meet, seeing that the Han border was approaching, the soldiers and the people were all overjoyed.

Walking to a three-way intersection, leading to Lanzhou and Daizhou respectively, Liu Jiye raised his hand to signal the cavalry of the Jianxiong Army to station on the horse, and said to Wu Yingying beside him: "Send you a thousand miles, and you must say goodbye in the end." The defense area of the Jianxiong Army is Daizhou, so it will not enter the territory of Lanzhou, so don't pass by. ”

Wu Yingying walked with Liu Jiye on this day, only felt that he had both wisdom, faith, benevolence, courage, and strictness, and gave people a great sense of trust in his gestures, no wonder Liu Jiyuan's meanness and lack of kindness, but also leaned on him like the Great Wall, and with the suspicion of the Song family against the generals, Zhao Guangyi only handed over the slander to Liu Jiye to him to read. The Daizhou army fought against millions, and the order was forbidden, and the Daizhou Jianxiong army led by Liu Jiye walked together, and the Lanzhou army felt down-to-earth and relaxed their nerves. Seeing that they were about to separate, people like Wu Yingying, who had already experienced a lot of ups and downs, couldn't help but feel stunned, but arched his hand and said: "Liu Jiedu, let's not go over." Seeing that Liu Jiye agreed, he turned his horse's head and went to Daizhou, and Wu Yingying shouted loudly to his back: "In the future, Liu Jiedu will have an order, and the whole army of Wulanzhou will obey!"

Liu Jiye's steady body on the war horse froze slightly, and then continued to move forward as if he hadn't heard these words, and the cavalry of the Jianxiong Army followed him unhurriedly, as if he had long been numb to such words of gratitude.

It wasn't until the team of the Daizhou Jianxiong Army went far away that Wu Yingying was a little lost and urged the horse to march, and not long after entering the state border, he encountered the two battalions of Chi Hunt and Tayan sent by Xiao Jiu to respond.

The head of Lanzhou City finally appeared at the far end of the horizon, and a carpenter named Fang Sizhen among the redeemed Han people saw it, and immediately pointed it out to her Hun family, "It's time to Lanzhou!" The Han people began to point to each other at the tall city, and the days and nights when they were looted to the north of the country, how many people looked forward to returning to the life of the Central Plains with the protection of the wide city walls, and the life of the Han people who were taken captive to the outside of the city has become a paradise in the midnight dream, there are thick walls to resist the north wind, there are straws burning in the hearth to bring warmth, the wheat and millet planted in the field are fragrant, and they can eat a mouthful of meat during the New Year, but whenever they wake up from a dream, only the cold north wind, the leather whip, and the endless humiliation are waiting for them, how many people can't stand this beast-like life and die, how many people have become ghosts in other places under the intersection of poverty and illness. God is pitiful, they have more than 10,000 Han people, and they can still see the cities of Han land in their lifetime.

The long-suppressed joy needs to be released, and the unpredictable future seems to have been suddenly confirmed, "It's time to Lanzhou!" This simple sentence has been passed on by word of mouth over and over again, the original farmer Zhang Er of Yunzhou rushed to tell the blacksmith Cai Eighteen of Shuozhou, the tailor of Yizhou Zhao Donkey told the original porter lady Wang of Ulzhou, and the tenant Sun Gouzi of the original deer chased the deer told the original Bianliang singer Zhu Huilan. "It's time to Lanzhou!" The voice spread ten or ten hundreds, getting louder and louder, as if a stone stirred up a thousand waves, how could a small ripple catch up with these original Central Plains people, the grassland slaves in the past, and the monstrous waves in the hearts of the current people of Lanzhou. More and more people forgot everything, laughed and laughed uncontrollably, some wailed, some immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the Lanzhou sergeant beside them, and some stayed motionless as if they had been immobilized, their lips trembled, but two lines of tears flowed silently from their eyes.

Wu Yingying waved his hand to stop the soldiers and looked at these Han people with a smile on their hands, and the sergeants were also infected by the atmosphere of Han people, and their faces were full of smiles, and Chase congratulated in Wu Yingying's ear: "Congratulations, my lord, the army and the people of one side have returned to their hearts, and more than 10,000 Han households have become the children of adults." ”

Wu Yingying looked at the state city in the distance, which was not tall, but looked very ancient and solemn in the twilight. The weeds stubbornly came out of the heavy rammed earth walls, one in the east and one in the west, swaying and dancing in the strong north wind, as if singing and dancing to welcome the return of the owner of the land here, and said softly in a voice so low that even Chase couldn't hear clearly: "How can I be, they shouldn't belong to anyone, the people of China." "Late at night, although the curfew in Bianliang, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, has been abolished, there are few pedestrians on the street at the moment, and occasionally one or two changfu pass by, and the sound of Bangzi is particularly clear in the night sky.

The forbidden Zhaowen Pavilion is brightly lit as usual. Last year, when the south of the Yangtze River was swept away, Cai Yu, the prince of Longxi County, burned a lot of rare books under his frenzy, but with Cai's collection, there are still tens of thousands of books and atlases, and they are now collected here. His Majesty the Emperor of the present day had the permission of his brother to read books in the secret pavilion of this museum, and since his accession to the throne, although the political affairs are cumbersome, he still retains the habit of coming here to read until late at night when he has nothing to do. Tonight, Emperor Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty had no intention of reading the book, frowning slightly, and his slender and white fingers kept tapping on the red sandalwood book case.

"Lanzhou," Zhao Guangyi seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be speaking to Wang Yu, who was standing underground, "I originally thought that Wu Yingying was just a martial artist, but he actually made a move to buy Han people from the Khitan and buy people's hearts, which is really impressive." ”

Zhao Guangyi was born as a Confucian scholar, paying attention to the grandeur of joy and anger, since his accession to the throne, it is more and more difficult for his courtiers to see his thoughts, but Wang Yu heard his words with a clear mind, knowing that Wu Yingying has made a big taboo in gathering people's hearts, and the monarchs of previous dynasties have not won the hearts of the people without a brave general who is willing to hold military power and win the hearts of the people, he does not dare to answer, and his back is already sweating slightly.

"Isn't Aiqing old with Wu Yingying? Tell me what you think of him. Zhao Guangyi saw that Wang Yuwei did not answer, his brows furrowed again, and he asked.

"The minister and Wu Yingying intersected generally, but seeing that he had courage and cherished talents for the country, he recommended him to His Majesty. Wang Yu bowed his head and replied.

"Hmm. Seeing that Wang Yu did not blindly excuse himself, Zhao Guangyi nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Since ancient times, the great traitors and evildoers have all talents, such as Wang Mang of the former Han Dynasty, Cao Cao of the Later Han Dynasty, and Cai Linfu An Lushan of the Tang Dynasty. Secret power, you haven't had a deep relationship with Wu Yingying, and you can't see that he harbors evil intentions, I don't blame you. ”

Wang Yu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." ”

"Hehe, get up, get up," Zhao Guangyi smiled slightly, "When we traveled to Gyeonggi and pointed out the country, how free and easy it was, after I ascended the throne, many major things depended on your efforts, why bother so much." ”
