Chapter 122: Beiliang Veteran
The group got off the Chunyang Palace, hired two carriages in the town at the foot of the mountain, and moved quickly in the direction of Beiliang.
The journey from Chunyang Palace to Beiliang took more than ten days, and the journey was very stable, and there was no assassin or anything like before.
Among the several people, the most aggrieved is Chen Lingyu, three people came, five people left, in the end he was still alone, he couldn't bear to disturb these two little couples, he bought a black donkey from the farm very honestly, and rode on it alone and drank a little wine.
Yesterday, a few people entered the territory of Beiliang, which is still two hundred miles away from Liangzhou City.
"I'm so hungry!" Lying on Chu Xue's body, he shouted.
Xu Nuo held Yue Qingya, sat in front of the carriage and chatted, heard Su Tong's shout, looked up, and actually saw an inn not far away, and said: "There is an inn in front, should we stop and rest?" ”
"Wait a minute!"
Chen Lingyu was very cautious, after all, this Su Tong was a hot potato, and when he took this kid back to Kunlun Mountain before, he was attacked by many assassins, and this kind of inn became the most ambush location.
"You wait for me here, I'll go and explore the reality of this inn first."
With that, Chen Lingyu jumped down from the black donkey, holding the wine gourd on his waist and walking slowly towards the inn.
"Bang!"
Chen Lingyu didn't say a word, he kicked the door of the inn open directly, and shouted inside: "Is the shopkeeper there?" ”
"Wait a minute, officer! The little ones are coming! ”
With that, I saw a sturdy man limping from the back of the inn, he looked very young, but he was in his early thirties, but unfortunately he was missing a leg.
A very plainly dressed woman followed the man closely, looking unremarkable.
Chen Lingyu squinted his eyes slightly, the frost sword in his hand fell to the ground, and suddenly the cold qi spread, he carefully felt the aura fluctuations emanating from all around, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, he opened his eyes suddenly.
"Guest officer...... You ......" When he opened his eyes, the man had already raised his axe and pointed it at Chen Lingyu.
"What do you mean, shopkeeper?"
The man with the broken leg replied, "Aren't you a rogue?" ”
When Chen Lingyu heard this, he chuckled: "Shopkeeper, you misunderstood, I was just passing by here and wanted to take a rest." ”
"Really?"
Chen Lingyu smiled and nodded, the big man was still a little unconvinced, after looking at it, he looked at Chen Lingyu's immortal wind bones, not like a bad person, and then slowly said: "Guest officer, please forgive me, some time ago, there was a flood of rogue horse thieves nearby, and our inn was also robbed, so I was offended, please forgive me!" ”
"It's okay, bring out the best of all your stuff here!"
The big man didn't move for a long time, still holding the axe tightly in his hand, staring at Chen Lingyu.
"Shopkeeper, this is money, don't look for it!"
I saw a silver ingot flying outside the door, the big man held the silver in his hand, bit it hard with his teeth, and after finding that there was no problem, he said softly: "A few guest officers, wait a minute!" ”
Chen Lingyu turned his head to look out of the door, at this moment Su Tong and the four of them had already entered the inn, Chen Lingyu frowned, and said angrily: "Didn't I let you stay outside honestly?" ”
Su Tong sat at the table and explained, "Please also Master, forgive me!" It's very windy outside, and it's really uncomfortable to blow. And Master has been in for so long, so let's not come and see it because we're worried! ”
Chen Lingyu had no choice but to smile bitterly and do something hastily.
"The guest officer has been waiting for a long time!"
I saw the big man dragging his body and leading his daughter-in-law to bring a pot of fragrant beef, he explained with a smile: "A few guest officers, now in this world, prices are soaring, and our inn has not been opened for a long time, so there is really nothing to entertain everyone, please make do with it!" ”
Su Tong patted the bench on the side and said, "Shopkeeper, you come here to sit!" ”
The big man suddenly broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, turned his head to look at the woman, and sat next to Su Tong with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, are you from Beiliang?"
"Born and raised, except for the war in Beiliang, I have been on this land all my life." Dahan said proudly.
Hearing this, Su Tong nodded, handed Dahan a glass of wine, and asked in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, are you a soldier of Beiliang?" ”
The big man sighed lightly and said helplessly: "Sort of!" In the past, I fought with the prince in the Beiliang Army, but later in the battle of Yanbei, my leg was slashed by the north, and in order to save my life, I personally beheaded it. ”
The battle of Yanbei in the mouth of the Han Dynasty is the most tragic battle of the Xuantian Dynasty in the past hundred years, the scale is unprecedented, and the Northern Liang army mobilizes the whole army to resist the northern barbarians in the south in order to protect the people of Li behind them.
The two armies fought, and the barbarians were well prepared, and the Beiliang iron cavalry was defeated and retreated, but in order to prevent the homeland behind them from being trampled by the enemy's iron cavalry, millions of Beiliang soldiers fought to the death and did not retreat.
In that battle, 500,000 people died, and the entire Beiliang army was severely damaged, and it is said that the corpses were piled up into mountains and blood flowed into rivers. The countless corpses on the battlefield were like a hellish Shura field.
The battle was almost indiscriminate, the general died on the regiment commander, the regiment commander died on the battalion commander, the battalion commander died on the platoon commander, and the platoon commander died on the captain......
One legion after another fought until the entire army was annihilated, and that battle completely shook the barbarians invading from the north, leaving an indelible shadow on the barbarians.
But it also proved to the world that Bei Liang is full of patriotic men with strong blood, and he swears to the death in the face of the enemy, and no one has taken half a step back! The Beiliang boy is undoubtedly a bad breed!
"It's also a shame to say that after that battle, the entire regiment was wiped out, and I was lucky that I was sent to the front line because of my injuries, and now I am the only one left to survive in the world." Dahan said very sadly.
Su Tong asked suspiciously: "Uncle, why don't you go to the military office for the sake of the country?" Go to them for help? ”
The welfare of the Beiliang army is excellent, because the soldiers injured in the war will receive a large amount of compensation and settling-in expenses, which may be squandered by the rich and noble, but it is enough to feed them for a lifetime.
Dahan drank all the liquor in his hand, shook his head helplessly, and said: "Gongzi doesn't know, I am a deserter, I didn't go to the death with my brothers to meet the enemy, I don't have the face to see the prince, and I don't have the face to enter the Beiliang City." ”
Su Tong looked at Dahan's depressed appearance, patted his shoulder, and comforted: "Uncle, if there were no Beiliang soldiers like you who were not afraid of life and death, how could there be the peace and prosperity of Beiliang today?" ”
"If it weren't for you risking your life to fight the enemy, would this world still be ours today? If you hadn't pulled up a long wall of life with your lives, how would we be where we are today? ”
After that, Su Tong took out a bag of money, handed it to Dahan, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this amount of money is what Bei Liang owes you all these years." ”
Dahan hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "Childe, I can't ask for this money!" ”
"These are what our Su family owes you!"
"The Su family? Who are you, Childe? Hearing this, the big man got up sharply and exclaimed.
"Da Da Da!"
There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the door, and it was General Xu Kun of Beiliang, who led a team of men and horses into the inn slowly.
Dahan recognized Xu Kun, one of the five tiger generals, at a glance, and hurriedly stepped forward to bow, and said very respectfully: "I've seen General Xu Kun!" ”
Xu Kun saw that Dahan was inconvenient to move, and it was difficult to even salute, so he supported his body and asked suspiciously, "Brother, who are you?" ”
Su Tong got up and chuckled: "General Xu Kun, this is our hero of Beiliang!" ”
Seeing Su Tong, Xu Kun's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran towards him, wanting to give him a big hug. However, Su Tong saw this guy's trembling fat meat, and hurriedly dodged, if he was hugged like this, wouldn't he have to be a meat bun?
"General Xu Kun, you stop!" Su Tong pointed at Xu Kun and shouted to stop him.
Xu Kun rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Your Royal Highness, the last general really wants to kill you!" ”
Su Tong glanced at Xu Kun, the "No. 1 sycophant in Beiliang", and said angrily: "General Xu Kun, do you want me to die, or do you want me to die?" ”
"His Royal Highness, what you said, how could I, Xu Kun, want you to die!"
"How is that possible! His Royal Highness, without you, the general will really not eat well and sleep well, just thinking about when I will be able to see His Royal Highness the Prince! Xu Kun smiled and boasted.
Before, Su Litian threw Xu Kun to train the reserve in order to give him a good exercise, how could he do this hard work? I sent someone to find out Su Tong's whereabouts early, just to prepare to meet him, and take this opportunity to go back with the blessing of the prince!
The big man looked at Su Tong stupidly, he was already in tears at the moment, his fingers trembling wildly, and he stammered, "You are Beiliang...... The ...... of the Prince"
