On this day, at noon, the dishes were on the table, the aroma was overflowing, Fang Yu led Yuanyuan, Yu Yan pulled Zhengzheng, when the family of four was ready to eat, when they met Yuan Da returning from practice, Fang Yu smiled and said: "The second brother came just right, let's eat together." ”

"Hello uncle. Over the past few days, the two little guys have become quite familiar with Yuan Da, scrambling to be the first to shout.

Yuan Daha laughed, took out two packs of snacks from his arms, and gave them to the two cute little guys respectively.

The brother and sister happily opened it, and couldn't help but widen their eyes, and they were shouting in surprise: "Mother, what is this?"

Yu Yan smiled slightly: "Popcorn." ”

Fang Yu laughed out loud and said, "The lady forgot, this is in the Song Dynasty, not with such a name." ”

Yu Yan also began to be curious: "What's that called?"

"Badly. ”

Yu Yan shook her head, what a reel, it's obviously popcorn. Seeing that she didn't understand, Fang Yu explained with a smile that Zhao Yi had a poem "Exploding Lou Poem": 100,000 families in Wumen in the east, and every family popped grains. Drain the golden millet in the pot and turn it into a white jade flower. The pink beauty accounts for the happy event, and the white-headed old man asks about the career. Xiaolai decorated his sons, and several plum blossoms were inserted into his sideburns.

"I still don't understand. Yu Yan shook her head, listening to this, her head was big, but Zhengzheng was fascinated by it, clamoring for her father to talk about it again.

Fan Chengda recorded in "Wu County Chronicles • Customs": Bursting glutinous valley in the kettle, the name is Lou, also known as rice flower. Everyone blew themselves up, and they were to be blamed for a year's rest. On the occasion of the New Year, the Song people used popcorn to know the good fortune of the year, and the girls used it to ask about their lifelong events.

Yuan Da also began to be curious, and couldn't help but ask: "Big brother is really knowledgeable. Dare to ask who this Fan Chengda is?"

"Fan Chengda, the word to energy, the word young yuan, in the early years, he called himself a monk in this mountain, and he was called a monk in Shihu in the evening. A native of Wu County, Pingjiang Prefecture, he is a writer and poet, and his descendants call him Fan Wenmu. ”

Yuan Da shook his head: "I only know Li Bai and Bai Juyi, but I don't know this person." And Zhao Yi, who is it?"

Fang Yu laughed, but he was thinking in his heart: Damn, of course you don't know, everyone doesn't know. Zhao Yi was a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, and he was 108,000 miles away from his birth!

"Come, come, eat. ”

"Good. Big brother please, third sister please!"

Yu Yan smiled and sat down: "Why should the second brother be so polite, they are all from his own family, be casual." ”

Yuan Da replied: "The etiquette should not be forgotten. ”

It seems that this Yuan Da is not only good at kung fu, but also a knowledgeable person. The family was happily eating, when they heard a report from the soldiers: "Lord Qiyu, the enemy has been found in the distance!"

"Second brother, let's go!" Fang Yu dropped the dishes and chopsticks, and Yuan Da immediately rushed away.

"Hmm, is there an enemy? Mother, are you going to war?" asked Zhengzheng, tilting his head.

Seeing him tilt his head, Yu Yan knew that he was thinking again. These two children, once they have any problems to think about, they can't help but tilt their heads. Is this kind of thing also thought by children?

She nodded and said, "Yuanyuan will go to practice playing the piano after eating, and I will go to your master after eating." I'm going to see your father. ”

"Yes, Mother. ”

The husband went out in a hurry, and where did the wife still have the heart to eat. She put down the dishes and chopsticks and hurried over.

Standing on the city tower, Yu Yan saw a team of more than a dozen horsemen surveying the terrain. She pointed to one of them and asked, "Who's that, it looks like a general." ”

Yuan Da clenched his fists, and his eyes spewed flames: "The commander of the Liao army, Yelu Dalan." He has fought against our army for many years, and this man is brave and good at fighting, and he is invincible. ”

Looking at his angry appearance, Fang Yu asked suspiciously, "Brother seems to know him very well?"

"Yelu Dalan was arrogant and domineering, and he did evil in my Great Song Dynasty, and my old father refused to hand over the grain and was killed by him. At this, he gritted his teeth with hatred.

"The revenge of killing your father, there is no reason not to revenge!" Fang Yu slammed his fist on the city wall, "Today, you and my brothers, kill this dog thief and avenge your old father!"

At that moment, Fang Yu ordered the soldiers to place several bed crossbows on the city wall, arranged the divine arm bow and the peace archer, calculated the distance they needed, and waited for Yelu Dalan to appear.

He also ordered the only 100 cavalry in the city, to be personally commanded by himself, to wear helmets and battle robes, and a fierce battle was about to come.

"Mother, mother!" the two little ones cried out.

"Why are you two here?" Yu Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly covered her arms and pulled them aside.

"I heard that some people in the house are talking about going to war. I came to help my father. "The right way.

"This is a war, not a joke. Yu Yan scolded.

"We are also fighting a war when we kill thieves and save our mothers, and we are not joking. Yuanyuan argued.

"Mother, let's see, promise not to wander around. "The right way.

"Mother, we will be very well-behaved, we will watch our father kill the enemy. Yuan Yuan shook Yu Yan's arm and begged.

Yuan Da came over and said, "Third sister, you can take good care of them." ”

Yu Yan nodded: "If you walk around, I will lock you up immediately!"

She reprimanded as she looked at her husband from time to time. This is his first expedition, and he is facing Yelu Dalan, the invincible commander of the Liao army, and she is really worried about the consequences.

"Listen, if your father is in danger, I'm going to help. If your father and I can't stop the Liao army, you two must listen to your uncle and work together to drive the enemy out!"

The brother and sister nodded vigorously, lying on the city tower, and secretly looked at the Liao cavalry in the distance.

"Second brother, give me an arrow. ”

Yu Yan took the arrow and bent the bow, looked at the approaching Liao army, and said hatefully: "Today, I will let you have no return!"

I saw that more than a dozen cavalry of the Liao army took the lead, slowly approaching Luoyang, and behind him, there was a huge team, mighty and imposing.

"Big brother, the war has changed!"

Fang Yu immediately came over to see that Yelu Dalan had retreated into the large army, and the vanguard had already entered the range of the bed crossbow.

"Listen to my orders, no one is allowed to move!" Fang Yu snorted coldly, this is the vanguard, to put it bluntly, he is here to test it. In that case, why not just count it?

Looking at Yelu Dalan's arrogant and domineering wave of his hand in the distance, Fang Yu sneered, seeing that the opponent's vanguard had already entered the range of 300 meters, he suddenly gave an order: "Listen to my order, prepare with the divine arm bow, only fail, not succeed!"

The generals were puzzled, according to their usual training, these cavalry could easily be solved with one person and one arrow, why was this so?

Yuan Da was also a little puzzled: "Why is the eldest brother like this?"

Fang Yu smiled faintly: "This is called luring the enemy deeper." ”

Suddenly, there were a few "whoosh" sounds, and sharp arrows were fired in unison, obeying Fang Yu's orders, these arrows were outrageous. Sure enough, Yerodah was fooled, and saw him rubbing his beard and looking up and laughing. Although I couldn't hear his laughter, I must have been very proud, and gradually, his footsteps approached 500 meters.

"Bed crossbow preparation, goal, Yelu Dalan, only success, not failure!"

The soldiers at the head of the city held their breath and waited for those arrogant Liao cavalry to come into range. Yelu Dalan would never have thought that the Song army would have such long-range weapons, nor would he have thought that the Song army's archery would be so accurate, but these cold crossbow arrows had already been aimed at them.

Yuan Da stared intently into the distance, and suddenly gave an order, and the five bed crossbows were like five lightning bolts in unison, and four arrows hit Yelu Dalan's chest, and one arrow hit the head.

Seeing this, the vanguard was about to run away, but Yuan Da gave another order, and Yu Yan was the first to shoot out, and an arrow pierced the throat of one of the cavalrymen.

As soon as the battle began, the main general was seriously wounded, which made the invincible Liao army furious, screaming and killing.

Yuan Da responded calmly, and when the enemy approached 200 meters, most of the casualties were already killed, and the Liao army was suddenly in chaos. Suddenly, the city gate opened, and Fang Yu chased out with his cavalry.

He waved the Seven-Star Dragon Yuan Sword in his hand, and the killing sound shook the sky, rushing to the front of the team. The hunting cloak and the sword shining with cold glow slashed and slashed, killing several Liao soldiers at once.

The Liao army was completely disorganized, they threw away their armor one after another, and fled in a hurry, and behind him, Fang Yu's roar came: "But let the dragon city fly general, don't teach Hu Ma to do Yin Mountain! If it violates again, it will definitely make the whole army annihilated!"

At this time, a drizzle fell in the sky, falling quietly and silently, like silver filaments spit out by countless silkworm girls. Thousands of filaments, rippling in mid-air, misty light yarn, like fog-like rain, like rain-like fog, wisps of lingering.

At the gate of the city, Yu Yan held an umbrella in one hand and covered her eyebrows with the other, looking forward to her husband's return.

The sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance. Yu Yan's mood became nervous, she stomped her feet lightly, staring into the distance, and suddenly, she saw a familiar figure.

Her originally frowning brow gradually loosened, and there was a glittering light in her eyes, and in an instant, she raised a bright smile.

The blue waves accompanied by clear eyes are filled with this faint warmth, and the curvature of the corners of the mouth is as perfect as a crescent moon. Her face was like a blooming white orchid, and the smile was written on her face, overflowing with happiness and joy.

"Let the lady worry. Seeing his wife waiting in the rain, Fang Yu was very moved, stretched out his hand, and pulled Yu Yan onto the horse.

Yu Yan noticed that this was not the horse he was fighting for. The big white horse, with a thin head and a high neck, slender limbs, thin skin and hair, and a light step, surprised her even more, sweat like blood flowed from near the horse's shoulders.

"The horse is injured. ”

Fang Yu said with a smile: "The lady doesn't know, this is a bloody horse." The endurance is amazing, the speed is amazing, and it can travel thousands of miles in a day. ”

"Where did it come from?"

"It's the one who was on Jerodaran's mount. Just chased out, it was for this horse, and now, it is given to the lady. ”

Yu Yan opened her arms, gently hugged her husband's waist from behind, leaned on his shoulder, and whispered, "Thank you, husband." ”

In the evening of the same day, the spies reported that the Lord had killed Jerodadran. Yuan Da couldn't help crying with joy, and couldn't help but kneel on the ground and cry bitterly: "Dad, the child has finally avenged you!"

In this battle, countless trophies were captured, and thousands of horses were captured. The three of them were overjoyed. A celebration banquet was held, and all the soldiers participating in the war were invited to raise their glasses and drink, and the carnival lasted until late at night, before stopping.

With war horses, Yuan Da formed a cavalry and practiced day and night, and Luoyang's forces became stronger and stronger.

This incident alarmed Zhao Guangyi, and when he returned, he made a special detour and made a special trip to Luoyang.
