Chapter 436: The Episode on the Way Home (1)
Walking on the road to Bingzhou, Ling Yi always felt that someone was watching him from behind, and he didn't make any special observations, just wanted Sun Ze in the team to nod, Sun Ze found an opportunity, left alone and lost the team, and no one noticed his departure.
After half an hour, Sun Ze, who had left, returned to the team, whispered to Ling Yi in his ear, and left again, but this time he took away about a hundred people from the old ruffian.
Until the evening, Ling Yi and they rested at a post station on the official road in Jizhou, of course, they set up a tent alone outside the post station, and the post station did not have so many rest rooms.
A veteran of the post station, whom Ling Yi had known since they came, was very enthusiastic when he saw Ling Yi and them coming back, preparing grain and grass, and slaughtering sheep, and taking out all the best things he could take.
At the dinner table, Ling Yi and the others drank wine together and chatted together.
The veteran is a veteran who retired from the Jizhou battalion, and he has no children and no daughters, so he was assigned here to provide for the elderly.
For these old people who have been in the army all their lives, after retiring, they are reluctant to leave, and the empire will also give these soldiers with military merits some placement, and the old man can't leave the barracks, and there is nowhere to go, so he can only work in this post station, and he can support the elderly, and he also deals with the soldiers in the army from time to time, which feels very cordial.
Ling Yi inquired from the old man: "Uncle Wu, if you go north here, you will go to Bingzhou, if you go east, where will you go?"
"To the east, the east is to Qingzhou and Youzhou, of course, the first to arrive is Tianling City in Jizhou!"
"There's no time, otherwise I want to go to Tianling City to have a look, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely go. By the way, uncle, where are the famous mountains and rivers to the north, I have also been in a hurry a few times, and I have not enjoyed the Jizhou style, this time there is plenty of time, I want to see more!"
When it comes to the famous mountains in Jizhou, the old man talks about it, he is a native of Jizhou, he knows Jizhou well, and he is also like a river, but there is a place that has attracted Ling Yi's attention.
That is, fifty miles to the north, and twenty miles to the east.
"This is a mountain, it is a mountain with legends, or a story related to the samurai army!"
As soon as he heard that it was related to the martial arts army, Ling Yi immediately became interested.
"Originally, this mountain was not called Laitishan, and I can't remember his original name, which has to start before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Back then, the old duke followed the first emperor to fight the country, defeated the state from Yongzhou, counterattacked Yongzhou from the state, and finally captured Jizhou. ”
"You always speak slowly!" Seeing Uncle Wu's excited appearance, Ling Yi told him to speak slowly.
"Hey, I'm old, and I'm a little out of breath when I'm excited! In that year, the first emperor sent troops from Yongzhou, and the old duke sent troops from Bingzhou, attacking from both sides, and directly took Jizhou and Kyoto. ”
"At that time, Laitishan was a large camp of rebels in Jizhou, where 200,000 troops were gathered. The first old duke and the martial army did not come, it was the soldiers and horses of the state that were attacking, and they could not be attacked for a long time, and the time was the time of this cold winter and the moon, if they could not attack the mountain, and the large army of the state could not enter the hinterland of Jizhou, they would have to endure the cold winter of the state. ”
"It has been a stalemate for more than half a month, and I haven't been able to make an inch. At this time, the old duke left most of the martial arts army to the first emperor and led it himself
10,000 cavalry rushed from Yongzhou. ”
"To say that the Bingzhou army back then was also heroic and abnormal, just 100,000 troops dared to think of 200,000 rebels. After the arrival of the old duke, the momentum soared. At that time, it snowed heavily, and Laiti Mountain was held by rebels, so it can be said that the sky was unfavorable from time to time. But the addition of the old duke and 10,000 martial arts troops played a big role. Seeing that the old duke did not stop, he personally led 10,000 martial arts troops, and approached the fortifications of Laitishan, without directly attacking, and the old duke shouted at the mountain, "The rebels on the mountain, come and see you!"
When Uncle Wu said the old duke, he stood up, as if he was the old duke, and followed the old duke's example, and yelled: "The rebels on the mountain, come and see you!"
This loud roar stimulated the spirit of everyone in the Martial Spirit Yi Department to the extreme, and they were all listening attentively to Uncle Wu's story, and when they heard such a sentence, they instantly cheered up.
"After the old duke finished shouting, the 10,000 martial arts army behind him also roared, 'Rebels on the mountain, come and see you!'"
Ling Yi listened to Uncle Wu's narration, he was not at the scene, but he could feel the heroic momentum of his grandfather and the martial army, which was a military might that could shake heaven and earth.
Saying that, the old duke led the martial army to a loud roar, and then retreated to the barracks. Do you know what happened that night?"
Ling Yi and the others shook their heads, since the Wu family's accident, the deeds of the Wu family army have rarely been praised, and even Ling Yi has heard such a story for the first time. Just like the renovation of the grassland in Bingzhou, the remains of loyal bones in the city of burials, the removal of horse bandits in Youzhou, and so on, all the deeds of the martial arts army, he heard of it for the first time, he blamed himself, as a martial artist, he didn't know anything, his grandfather, father, how many legends and deeds are there?
"You don't know, the old duke and the martial arts army, just such a sentence, scared the rebels into fear, many people ran away, scattered, some people were afraid that the old duke would be held responsible, so they killed their rebel leader Chen Yuci overnight, and sent their heads to the outside of the martial arts camp early in the morning!"
Uncle Wu said, his expression was excited, and the original asthma did not recur: "That's an army of 200,000, and the crisis was easily resolved by the old duke and the martial army, and since then this mountain has also been jokingly called 'Laiti Mountain', that is, the rebels on the mountain, and the reduction of the head to see it! Every time I think back to the events of that day, I feel as if I have returned to that time, and I really want to follow the old duke to fight in all directions!"
"Is Uncle Wu also a soldier back then?" many people asked curiously.
"I was only a teenager, but I really saw the strength of the martial army, and it was through that time that I decided to join the army, knowing that today, I am still eager to follow the old duke to fight, but unfortunately, hey......"
Speaking of the old duke, Uncle Wu regretted countless times.
This night, everyone couldn't calm down for a long time in Uncle Wu's words, and Ling Yi asked about the mountain, because Sun Ze found out during the day that someone was really following him, and there were quite a few of them, three or four thousand people, although they were all in civilian clothes, from their words and deeds, it could be seen that they were soldiers from the army.
Needless to say, someone wanted to make a move on himself, and after thinking about it, Ling Yi guessed that Wei Tuo was the most likely, but it was not ruled out that Lin Xingshi and others might be, and of course it was also possible for the Tai Academy group. Or are they joining forces? Ling Yi has to make a good plan, although he is not afraid of direct collision, he may have such a good terrain to rely on, how can he let it go.
Therefore, Sun Ze led his troops to monitor the people who were tracking him, and what he had to do was to find a place, invite you into the urn, and pull an urn to catch turtles!
After choosing the location, Ling Yi next waited for dawn, and then set off to pack up these people who were following him in Jizhou, if these people can't solve it before returning to Jizhou, then Ling Yi is not a qualified soldier in Jizhou.
Early the next morning, everyone in the Wu Lingyi Department got up very early, and after getting dressed, Uncle Wu and others, who were still hangover, were left behind, and once again embarked on the journey back to the state.
When Ling Yi left, he left Uncle Wu with an elixir, which was just an ordinary elixir for combing the body and regulating the dark injuries in the body. This is a little condolence and help to veterans, it is not easy for every veteran soldier, especially these veterans who have participated in real wars are even more injured and sick, and Ling Yi can help a little.
Instead of marching on the official road, the direct goal is to go to the mountain to carry it, and his troops have no problem with such a mountain road at all, and all they have to do now is to drag down the tail behind.
When he set off, Ling Yi had already assigned the next tasks, and he was suffocated in Kyoto before, and all the brothers were enthusiastic.
What's more, this time it was in Laitishan, the place where the martial arts army had fought, and they were screaming excitedly.
Even if their opponents are their own compatriots this time, since they dare to attack themselves, it is not easy for them to come, and they are really sorry for themselves if they don't beat them to a bruised nose and swollen face.
When I came to Laiti Mountain, at noon, the snow-covered peaks were like a girl, quiet and plain.
In addition to Mt. Laiti, there are also many other peaks here, stretching for dozens of miles, protecting Kyoto behind it, and it is really a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Split up and ambush on the mountain, just waiting for the other party to be fooled and attack head-on here.
"Tell me to go down, this time only use stainless steel maces, and the strength is well controlled, and no one can be killed, but I can't let them go back intact. ”
"Haha, understood, let them taste the iron fist of our old turtle slope!" Ahai happily passed the order.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Sun Ze and others, who were surveillance, also rushed to Laitishan, and not far from their arrival, they saw an army in civilian clothes rushing in their direction.
The leader of the team is a middle-aged man, whose strength has just reached Wuzun, and the people under his hands each have a long knife.
"Let's go, let's go and meet this Wuzun first!" Since the purpose is clear, Ling Yi doesn't plan to hide, and these soldiers who haven't really experienced the war, there is no need to sneak attack, Ling Yi came forward, just wanted to know who was sending someone to deal with him, and he would fight back in the future!
Wu Zun, who had lost the trace of Wu Lingyi's department, was urging the horses and complaining: "What kind of mission is this, asking us to intercept the soldiers of Bingzhou, but where is the enemy?
A person who looked like an adjutant stepped forward in embarrassment: "The general is angry, judging from the footprints on the ground, those troops from the state fled from this side, since they did not choose the official road, but the mountain road, it seems that they found us!"
"It's just a group of rabble, and when we heard that our Royal Knights were out in person, they weren't scared to run away!" Wu Zun said proudly.
"Yes, yes, the general is mighty, the general ......" The adjutant was still about to speak, but just saw Ling Yi and Sun Ze coming on horseback, and hurriedly reminded Wu Zun: "The other party is coming, it seems that they are not far from here!"
"Let's see what they say first, and act when the opportunity comes!" Wu Zun commanded, proudly waiting for Ling Yi and the others to come.
