It is said that Yizhi watched Li Shibing be ordered by Yuan Hao to cut off his ears, and it suddenly occurred to me that I often forgot that this person was named Yuan Hao, the king of Xiping in Xiazhou, and a rebellious and warlike Qiang man. He is not Li Ping, he is not my straightforward and honest, he always has to protect my thoughtful little standby.

She didn't feel confused, and walked into the crowd of old and weak women and children in Jinmingzhai, and sat down in a daze.

It happened that the child who had been coaxed by Yizhi came over and called out to his sister.

Memories came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The child pointed to the pool of blood that flowed out of Li Shibing's ear and asked, "Is that also a performance?" ”

Yizhi was silent for a long time and said, "Are you scared? ”

The child nodded and asked, "Sister, do you know how to sing?" When my mother dresses me, she sings to me, when she feeds me, she sings to me, when she bathes me, she sings to me, she sings a lot, I haven't heard my mother sing for a long time, my grandmother always says that my mother is too tired and needs to rest. Sister, can you sing a song to me? ”

Yizhi glanced at the child's grandmother, and saw that her face was full of sadness, so she relieved herself, she reached out and hugged the child on her lap, and said, "My sister can sing very few songs, you can't pick and choose." As he spoke, he smiled and hooked the child's nose.

The child giggled and said yes.

Yizhi began to chant softly, and what he was singing was the song "Bodhisattva Man" that he sang when he comforted Ouyang Xu after the Lantern Festival was turned off the lights: "After the snow disappears and the lights are collected in the corner of the wall." The wild plum official willow spring is completely transparent. The pond pavilion is east again. Candles burn red at night. A statue of hospitality. The moon is dry. If you are drunk, you don't have to return. Listen to the cry of the dark night. ”

She hummed softly, her voice ethereal, echoing in the patio, lingering in the aftermath, unconsciously attracting everyone to listen.

Yuan Hao stood up suddenly, he picked up the bow and crossbow arrows, beckoned the children of the Qiang tribe, pulled the bow and wound it, closed his eyes and aimed, and said: "The Xixia Divine Arm Bow, the method of making is cumbersome and exquisite, and the times are passed down from mouth to mouth, with mulberry wood as the body, sandalwood as the straw, iron as the kick gun head, copper as the horse's face and teeth, and hemp rope and silk as the string. The body of the bow is three feet two inches, the string is two feet long and five inches, the arrow feather is several inches long, and it shoots more than 240 steps, and enters the elm wood halfway. With that, he knocked on the crossbow machine and shot an arrow, which smashed into the rammed earth wall and went deep for three points.

The children were in an uproar, pestering Yuan Hao to try it again.

Yuan Hao crouched down, held the child's hand, pulled the bow and wound it, and taught him how to use the front port of the arrow groove instead of the tip of the cluster to aim. One child tried it and was excited to try again.

The child in Yizhi's arms heard the sound and wanted to go to see the excitement, but Yizhi stayed for a long time and didn't want him to go.

But I heard Yuan Hao say again: "In less than two years, I will let the Great Song Dynasty recognize the establishment of the Western Xia Dynasty, at that time, I will be on an equal footing with the Great Song Emperor, and the Western Xia will be on an equal footing with the Song and Liao, and you will all be the future generals of my Western Xia, so good!" ”

The children were encouraged and cheered. The child in Yizhi's arms couldn't hold back his curiosity, jumped out of Yizhi's arms, and ran towards Yuanhao.

Yizhi unconsciously looked at them in a trance, and suddenly, when she saw Zhang Yuan coming over, she said: "Wei Mingyuan is suspicious by nature, the way of using soldiers is false and real, treacherous and changeable, and violent and obedient. If he really achieves hegemony in the future, he is afraid that the tyranny of power will not lose to business, Qin Shi. ”

Zhang Yuan pursed his lips, said in a deep voice for a long time, and said softly: "Someone still needs to be gentle and fertile to ensure peace and prosperity." ”

Yizhi understood what he meant, and said, "Don't look at me, I don't have this ability." You just saw it, and he didn't listen to me at all. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "For example, a child, he will frequently test his mother's bottom line, because he naturally wants to mess around. But he would look at his mother's face because he was afraid that she would be angry. He paused and said, "The vultures have been watching your face, and he cares about you very much. ”

Memory: "Yes." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The vulture has insight into human nature, he is very keen, he knows the girl too well, and the girl should show your bottom line in a timely manner." ”

Yizhi frowned unconsciously, and said with palpitations: "Although I keep saying that I am not afraid of death...... When it comes to the end, it will also be timid. I was afraid that his punch would fall on me, and I was even more afraid that the knife would cut my ear. His temper is like the sky in the middle of the day, cloudy and uncertain, and difficult to fathom. ”

Yuan Hao held the dagger and showed them that his horse steps were steady, his feet were firm as nails, as if he was one with the earth, and his right hand holding the dagger was like a bamboo, and each blow was wrapped in a strong wind, enough to cut through the air. He also asked the soldiers to distribute daggers to all the children, and all the children stepped on the blood left by Li Shibing, and they looked like each other with him.

Zhang Yuan said: "Girl, look, the vulture has been looking at you, he has things he must do, and he also has people he is afraid of losing. ”

Yizhi just stared at him and was silent.

Suddenly, a detective came into the hall to report and said: "Wushu, the detectives from Yanyan and Huanqing reported that the Song army rushed to Yanzhou day and night to help. ”

Yuan Hao stood up and asked, "Can you count how many people came?" ”

The detective said: "Back to the vultures, there are a total of four generals and more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry. We will arrive at Mikawaguchi in the afternoon! ”

Yuan Hao sneered and said, "With such a small number of people, how can you fight with my 100,000 elite soldiers?" He looked back at her and saw that her eyes were full of worry, but he did not see her, so he personally ordered 60,000 troops to go on the expedition.

Yizhi followed Zhang Yuan to climb the lookout, and watched the Xixia army of more than 60,000 people flying away in the dust, and the sound of iron hooves resounded through the valley and echoed for a long time.

Remembering muttered, "This is the beginning......"

Zhang Yuan was silent for a long time, and said: "It has already begun, and in the feudal departments that have frequently attacked the border over the years, there are many guards with many vultures - he personally went to the feudal departments to buy people's hearts and make a bloody alliance with the king of the domain. ”

He continued: "The Great Song Dynasty is rich and powerful, even if he is sick, he is still a sick tiger, and Western Xia is barren, no matter how crazy he is, he is just a crazy cat. ”

Yizhi unconsciously looked at Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan said: "In less than two years, Western Xia will definitely allow Song and Liao to recognize the country, as for the unification of Song and Xia, ......" He sneered again: "I don't know." ”

Remembering the way: "He is so belligerent, I am afraid that it will be even more difficult to fill the desire." ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Therefore, it is extremely important after two years. He paused and said, "I will do my best to get rid of the Yeli clan, and then go to the Song Kingdom for the vultures to ask for a marriage and conclude a friendship between the two countries." ”

Seeing Zhang Yuan looking at him, he frowned and said, "Did Mr. Zhang say this too early, he just won this battle and occupied a small Jinming Village." ”

Zhang Yuan sneered: "Do you still know that after Emperor Renzong ascended the throne, in order to show benevolence and amnesty the court, he once released a group of palace maids out of the palace. The vultures brought them all into the imperial city of Western Xia, so that he could know the inner court system, palace secrets, scandals, and political and military decision-making processes. He is a natural genius, very keen insight, knows people's hearts, discerns the current situation, and is ruthless, he often makes me examine my own shortcomings, the shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

I don't know how to remember, but I don't press it.

Zhang Yuan said: "Girl, you think, you are also taking care of children, and the children raised by the hands of the girls are very different from the children raised by the hands of the women of the Western Xia, this is the difference between our Song Kingdom and the Western Xia." Reading wisely is important, and physical fitness cannot be ignored, girl, don't you say? ”

He continued: "The girl is dignified and demure, thick and gentle. The vultures are brave and good at fighting, and they are extremely resourceful. The two of you are really a good match, if you can achieve it, it will be a combination of the essence of the Song Kingdom and the Western Xia, and it will be a great combination. ”

Yizhi had no choice but to smile and said, "Right now, Song Xia is at war, and I don't know how many more disagreements I have with him." With that, he went down to the watchtower.

She was so anxious that the sunset was red all over the sky, the geese flew in flocks in the sky, and the smoke of cooking in the stockade was filled with the smell of homely food. She saw a detective rush into the council chamber, and hurried to follow her, listening under the window.

I only heard the detective say: "Although the Song army was tired day and night, they lined up to meet the battle, and across the river from our army's 60,000 lions, they fought with all their might, and there was no confusion at all. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "What is the current battle situation? ”

The detective said: "Several generals of the Song army are like crazy, one is brave and fearless with a steel whip, and one is an archer with a head and legs, still unstoppable, leading the troops to fight. Song Shenwei led 200 archers and fired crossbows and strong bows, and our army was forced to retreat. ”

Zhang Yuan was silent for a long time, and asked, "What about the casualties of the Song army?" ”

The detective said: "They suffered even more heavy casualties, with only a few thousand troops left. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Thousands of troops, even if they arrive in Yanzhou, what can they do?" Why are you so desperate? ”

"They didn't retreat," said the detective, "and camped on the bank of the river at the edge of the mountain and water. The Song Shenwei Dutou proposed to withdraw to the mountain and set up camp, but was rejected by General Liu Ping. ”

When I heard the word Liu Ping, I was like a true soul on the top of the bones, and she was cold on her back, she was unprepared, and galloped out of Jinming Village.

She gasped all the way, thinking that the 60,000 elite soldiers of the Western Xia Army had only lost a few thousand people, and they would definitely have to fight again, if Liu Ping and the others were stationed in that open place, if they were attacked at night, the consequences would be unimaginable, thinking like this, she felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

She kept beating her horse and galloping, and when she reached the bank of the Yan River, it was already twilight, and the smoke of the bonfire was faintly visible, piercing through the clouds, and several familiar faces were not far away - Huo Zun, Liu Ping, Liu Yisun, Shi Yuansu.

Remembering continued to fight the horse, and suddenly heard a roar, and an arrow cluster slammed into the gravel in front of him, and the feathers trembled. She hurriedly reined in the horse's head, and the horse raised its front hooves, but she failed to catch the horse's belly, and fell from the horse and fell to the ground. The horse was frightened and turned back and ran away.

When Song Jun heard the news, they jumped up in shock, and they were all on guard.

Liu Yisun recognized Yizhi at a glance and shouted, "Sister Yizhi! But the sister of memory! ”

I haven't heard this name for a long time, and I don't feel that my eyes are red, and I want to cry. She hurriedly suppressed her emotions and shouted: "There is an ambush, quickly retreat, retreat to the mountain!" ”

Before the words fell, the crossbow dark arrows were wrapped in the wind and shot over, and I heard the sound of the attack shouts behind me, and looked back, the Wuyang Western Xia army, dressed in armor and mixed footsteps, swarming in the dark night, I didn't feel that my heart was trembling, and my back was cold.

Liu Ping stepped on the horse and shouted: "The girl quickly retreats, retreat to the rear!" After that, he led his troops to meet the battle, but his wounds were not yet fully bandaged, and he was still dripping with blood.

Yizhi woke up, walked two steps backwards, and hurriedly turned around, but saw Huang Dehe climb on the horse's back, looked at the Western Xia army with frightened eyes, reined in the horse's head, seemed to have the intention of turning around, suddenly felt bad, pointed at Huang Dehe and shouted at Liu Yisun: "Stop him!" ”

Before the words fell, Huang Dehe had already turned his horse and fled as if he were flying, and the soldiers saw that the Western Xia army had already been frightened, and saw that the generals had fled, and suddenly the army was disheartened, and they had no intention of fighting, so they were busy fleeing in all directions.

Liu Yisun quickly got on the horse and chased after Huang Dehe.

Yizhi also hurriedly got on the horse, and together with Huo Zun and Shi Yuansu, he blocked the remaining soldiers who wanted to escape.

Seeing this, Liu Ping let out an angry roar: "I am a great Song Dynasty, how can I be afraid of such barbarian states." Even if I, Liu Ping, die in battle today, I have fought hard for my Great Song Dynasty, and this life is in vain! Carrying a spear and facing the Western Xia army, while galloping, he roared angrily: "The Song army will not retreat!" ”

Seeing that Liu Ping was so brave and fearless, all the soldiers suddenly lifted their spirits, picked up their weapons one after another, shouted and did not retreat, and rushed to the front of the battle to fight. More than 1,000 people shouted and did not retreat, and their voices were magnificent, pushing straight to the clouds and resounding through the nine skies.

The Western Xia generals looked at each other unconsciously.

Seeing that the Western Xia army tried to stumble the hooves of Huo Zun's war horse with a rope, he was picked off by Huo Zun with a shot. She was fascinated, she might as well have grazed a long arrow over her shoulder, she rolled off the horse, and then raised her head, Huo Zun's war horse had been shot down by random arrows, Huo Zun was carrying many arrows, and fell to the side, staring at this side with his eyes.

Remembering it was like a thousand arrows, seeing that Liu Ping was surrounded and suppressed by the Western Xia cavalry again, he was busy rolling and crawling, and ran up with his feet open, his hands wide open, protecting Liu Ping in front of him.

Liu Ping shouted: "What are you doing here!" He stretched out his hand again, put the memory behind him, and said: "Run, run, run when you have the opportunity, your father is your life, so you have to keep it!" ”

The sharp Chang Ge Qi stabbed over, and Yi Zhi was about to step forward to block it, although she acted righteously, she was extremely frightened in her heart - she shrunk her neck, turned her face sideways, closed her eyes tremblingly, and did not move for a long time, before she gasped lightly, opened her eyes slightly, and saw that the sharp Ge Feng was just around the corner, facing the bright moon, and the silver light was dazzling.

Yuan Hao rode a horse, and the sound of the horse's hooves echoed far and wide on the riverbank full of corpses.

Liu Ping pulled Yizhi behind him again, and looked directly at Yuan Hao with his head held high.

Yuan Hao smiled and said: "General Liu, what a good one, it's a character." ”

Liu Ping said: "Don't talk nonsense, if you want to kill or chop, just come straight up, don't play any conspiracy with me, grandpa, I don't love that thing!" ”

Yuan Hao said: "Leading three thousand cavalry and infantry, galloping to Yanzhou day and night, the head was hit by arrows, the soldiers all escaped, and still fought to the end, such a courageous, courageous, brave and fearless person, I am reluctant to kill you." Temperament also fell in love with me, don't like to beat around the bush, the Song Kingdom is heavy on literature and light on martial arts, you are such a hero, it is useless to think about it, it is better for you to submit to me, let's work together, Rong Ma for a lifetime, I love you more than the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Liu Ping snorted angrily, and spat on the hooves of Yuanhao's war horse.

Yi Yi was shocked, and hurriedly held Liu Ping's arm and begged in a low voice: "Don't provoke him, don't anger him!" ”

Liu Ping hid Yizhi behind him with his backhand, stared at Yuan Hao with two eyes, and said, "Huangmao Xiaoer, when your grandfather and I were riding horses, you didn't know where they were, Guishun?" Do you really think of yourself as an emperor? It's up to you? Just with your shotguns and arrows? Haha, what a dream! It can be seen that it is ......"

Liu Ping wanted to say more, suddenly slapped him, slammed his back knee, suddenly fell to one knee, and had brute force to press his head, he fought with that brute force for a long time, but he was invincible.

Yizhi couldn't bear to see him humiliated, so he pushed Sunur, who was pressing his head, tried a few times, and saw that he didn't move, so he took advantage of his unpreparedness and pulled out the big knife from his waist, put it on his neck, trembled, and cowardly threatened: "Let him go!" ”

There was a burst of laughter around, Sunur pushed with his backhand, and the arm holding the big knife had been opened with great force, and the big knife came out of his hand and slid out several meters away. Sunur raised his hand to make a gesture to fight Yizhi, Liu Ping shouted: "You Xixia people boast of being strong and brave, and what do you bully a little girl to do, if you have the ability, just come to the men of our Great Song Kingdom." ”

Sunur smiled: "I want to too, but you can see for yourself, where are the men of your Great Song Kingdom, all of them are dead." ”

Helan Zhen slipped off the saddle, grabbed Yizhi's arm, and pulled her aside.

Everyone laughed, and unconsciously heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and when everyone heard the news, they saw that it was Liu Yisun galloping alone.

Sunur said: "Yo, what is this talking about!" Don't rob me of anyone, I have to meet this man from the Great Song Kingdom for a while. ”

Remembering Yuan Hao couldn't help but shake his head, Yuan Hao stared at her, his eyebrows furrowed together.

Sunur strode forward, picked up the spear with his foot to catch it, and asked, "Are you alone?" ”

Liu Yisun jumped off his horse and shouted: "Liu Yisun, deputy marshal of the Song Army, came to fight alone, dare to ask who your Excellency is!" ”

Sunur smiled: "What's the matter, do you want to report your name?" ”

Liu Yisun said with a smile: "The battlefield is cruel, either you die or I die, if you don't sign up for your name, you die in battle, how can you call it when he is recorded by the historian?" ——In the first year of Kangding, on a certain day in the first month, in the battle of Sanchuankou, a certain Qiang man was defeated by Liu Yisun, the deputy marshal of the Song army's Yanyan Road, and died on the battlefield? ”

Liu Ping applauded: "My son is good!" Immediately, two more Qiang soldiers stepped forward and knocked him down.

Sunur's eyes widened angrily, and he ran forward with a spear to fight with Liu Yisun, Liu Yisun faced the battle head-on, but he was tired day and night, and after the battle of crossing the river at the mouth of Sanchuankou, he was exhausted, did not get a proper rest, and was attacked again, Huang Dehe fled in battle, begging bitterly and failing to make him turn back to help, physically and mentally exhausted, and fought with only one faith.

Sunur was born strong and abnormal, and after a few rounds, Liu Yisun fell into success, but he just persevered.

Seeing this, Liu Ping kept roaring to encourage Liu Yisun, and scolded Yuan Hao for not dying well, and when the Qiang soldiers heard this, they punched and kicked Liu Ping, threatening and scolding.

Yizhi broke free from Helan's shackles, ran to Yuan Hao's horse, and begged: "You spare them, I beg you to spare them." ”

When Liu Ping heard this, he roared angrily: "Girl, don't ask him!" ”

Yizhi couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You know...... You know, how Uncle Liu treats me, how Brother Liu treats me...... Please, let them go. ”

Seeing her tears, Yuan Hao was extremely unbearable, and intended to recover Liu's father and son, so he drank the order gladiatorial fight, saw Liu Yisun exhausted, fell to the ground, and said: "Send him back to Yanzhou and tell Old Man Fan Yong that his reinforcements can't come." ”
