Chapter 116, One Man Attains the Way

The morning wind in July woke up the earth, but it did not wake up the six princes who were still in a trance.

He stood in a white robe at the ruins of the garrison fortress, looking at the ruined battlefield in front of him for several miles.

There was a clay figure slumped on the ground beside him, and the other two were forced by him to point to the acupuncture points, like sculptures standing still.

The clay figure sitting on the ground said impatiently: "What are you doing with it?" One shot and a pestle killed a hundred! They are in a good realm, so as not to have an accident! ”

Not far away, the noble son, who had been cowardly leading the horse, suddenly said: "Their identities must be good, you might as well keep them to blackmail the Khitan first." ”

The clay figure on the ground and the white-robed six princes turned their heads to look, he tightened the reins in his hand, like a child who said the wrong thing, and his tone was a little lower: "If you can't hold it down, it's appropriate to kill it, but I'm afraid that last night's battle will alarm both the enemy and us, we are in the border between the two countries, if the Khitan reinforcements arrive first, the enemy is outnumbered, and we also have something to threaten." ”

The clay man looked at the noble son of the horse who was dressed in a lot of clothes, thin and weak, his green and pale face was flushed red due to timidity, which was really cute, and he looked up at the white-robed six princes: "This is your seventh emperor brother who is living among the people?" ”

The white-robed young man nodded silently, this was also his idea, and then he picked up the clay figure on the ground, and took off the white robe to put it on the clay figure, without the slightest dislike, and wiped the mud on his face with his undershirt, revealing a face that was more handsome than him.

The sixth prince smiled for no reason, and in a trance he remembered that there was a general in his childhood memory who also fought for his father in the south and the north.

The clay man also smiled, the earth covered his bitterness, his teeth were white, and he did not know how to face the son of this enemy who persecuted his parents.

Song Maoling, the sixth prince, summoned the emperor's younger brother, and planned to take off the water bladder on the horse's back to wash the dirt off the mud figure, but he dragged his tired steps and began to clean the battlefield, to be precise, rummaging through the corpses, rummaging around, and muttering in his mouth, "Liu Dawei, Liu Dawei, I heard a call to Lao Tzu!" ”

Seeing this, the two royal brothers also got busy, and the three of them looked for a person named Liu Dawei in the carpet of the battlefield within a radius of several miles.

The three of them spent an hour, the sun completely rose out of the mountain, and they found two people pinching each other's necks in the loess at the very edge of the battlefield, both of them were Khitan Changning military uniforms, one of them was stiff, and the other was even more scarred, and there was no part of the body that was not soaked in blood, as if it had been cut by a thousand knives.

The two royal brothers did not know why, only the clay man knew the origin, he looked at the burly bloody man and lost his mind for a while, and then squatted down to straighten his body: "Brother! You've suffered! ”

To his surprise, the bloody man still had residual warmth, and hurriedly probed his snort, but there was still half a breath left, and before he could open his mouth excitedly, the sixth prince Song Maoling immediately injected a trace of true qi for him and stabilized his breathing.

The burly bloody man had a slight gasp, he opened his eyes and saw the three of them, and finally locked his eyes on the clay man, and said weakly: "Both... Officer... My lord, I... Kill... Drop the traitor... Is it so? ”

Zhao Duwei nodded silently, leaving aside those red eyes, it was hard to imagine how he could survive the encirclement and suppression of dozens of Khitan soldiers alone?

At that time, there was a strange sound in the forbidden area, and the sixth prince Song Maoling carried a spear and went away, ran the true qi to climb the mountain in three or two steps, and then jumped on the stump left by the sentry tower like a dragonfly.

As far as the eye can see, there are hundreds of velvet soldiers in the ten-mile forbidden area, holding bows and knives, groping forward, completely ready to face the battle at any time, and seeing that the person standing on the stake on the hill is not a Khitan costume, he immediately pulled the bow and shot.

"Whoosh!"

Dozens of arrows broke through the air, and Song Maoling retreated, holding his gun and spending the sharp arrows.

He retreated to the two captured Khitans, one on the left and one lifted the mountain like a chicken, stepped on one, pressed one with his hand, and poked his neck with a spear: "Who dares to take a step forward?" ”

At first, the Khitan soldiers didn't care, what was so special about the two clay figures?

Seeing the situation, Song Maoling opened the water bladder that he had prepared to wash Zhao Zhengli's face earlier and poured it on the heads of the two captives.

Washed away the soil, and the true face emerged, which not only shocked the Khitan soldiers, but also shocked Song Maoling.

He naturally recognized these two people, Yelu He, the son of the Khitan Great Teacher, Tianjiao Youth, who was known as one of the Khitan Double Dragons, and Dahe Luohan, one of the three Khitan commanders, any of them were suppressed by one side.

He looked back at the figure of Zhao Duwei in the back, and he became more and more incomprehensible.

And the two captured Khitan generals and commanders appeared openly at this moment, which was more uncomfortable than killing the two, if there was a choice, the two would rather commit suicide, but unfortunately the acupoint was pointed, and they were at the mercy of them like puppets.

The Khitan soldiers who were late to help were out of proportion for a while, if they entered, they would really be rubbed to death, and each of them would become sinners, if they retreated, wouldn't they cause the general to ignore them? Sinners too.

It is difficult to give up left and right, so I have to stand still, and then send the sentry to report, so it is most appropriate.

This is what Song Maoling wants, and it is also the most helpless thing for the Khitan.

Stalemate for an hour, about two poles on the sun, lack of shade in the north, there is a faint tingling pain in the scalp, sweat flows, Qingguo reinforcements arrive, this speed is not fast, not slow, because the nearest Changning army also has dozens of miles of mountain roads.

The battle flag was fluttering, led by He Wen, the commander of the small capital, and to Zhao Zhengli's surprise, it was actually the group of veterans such as Xu Er, Wang Qi and others who fought with him in Lanshan.

Several old soldiers saw Zhao Duwei's embarrassed appearance, and beat their chests: "Lord Duwei, the old man is late, and he deserves death!" ”

According to his rank of centurion, the remaining dozens of people also followed suit.

The rest of the soldiers stood on the top of the hill and fought against the Khitan army.

The dark-skinned, not tall stout lieutenant He Wen was as enthusiastic as seeing his father, and he cared for himself, Captain Zhao Bai, who had never been there.

Zhao Zhengli naturally could see that He Wen was false, but he learned from his mouth that the night attack on Loubanzhai failed, and the five squads led by the five centurions survived less than 20%, of which the three centurions of Li, Shan, and Tian died in battle.

This night attack on the two places only he Zhao Zhengli's team succeeded, and defended, which also eliminated the crisis of the Louban Village, and the Khitan retreat of the Louban Village was cut off by holding Huangwei Mountain, and it was completely surrounded in the hinterland of Daizhou, just waiting for the urn to catch the turtle.

Even this Huangwei Mountain is enough to break the situation, and the army can go north to support Yanmen Pass through the border area of Huangwei Mountain, and the situation in Daizhou can be reversed.

Even though he has a different position from Zhao Duwei, he is under He Plague's tent, and the Daizhou crisis is resolved, Commander Ge naturally boasted that he He Plague led the troops in a good way, and solved the difficulties for his Hedong Road commander Ge Hongliang.

At the same time, this battle also indirectly established Zhao Duwei's reputation in the northern military camp.

Only then did He Wen, the little lieutenant, notice the noble son who was holding the horse and the two young men who were holding two Khitan captives with a gun on the mountain.

No matter what the identity of the other party is, at least the current situation is a meritorious person.

He Wen was particularly happy and took the initiative to greet: "The two heroes have made great contributions to my Daqing border army, and I will report to the imperial court to commend and invite merit for the two heroes, and also ask the two heroes to report their names." ”

Zhao Zhengli opened his mouth, and Song Maoling spoke first: "In the Lower Shuangmu Forest, there is a single pine character." ”

Then he pointed to the Seventh Prince who was leading the horse: "He is my younger brother, and I have had a relationship with Zhao Duwei, and I was also invited by him to go north this time!" ”

For the indirect teasing of the six princes, Zhao Zhengli smiled.

He Wen looked between the three of them, and said: "It's a big pity that you don't serve the country in the army as a hero." ”

The corners of Song Maoling's mouth lifted slightly, and he chuckled: "Coincidentally, this time I went north to ask Zhao Duwei to find an errand and serve his family and country!" ”

He Wenru rubbed his hands as a treasure, and said impatiently: "This matter is easy to do, the hero and Captain Zhao are from the same door, and they all report to Commander Ge, and they will also seal you as a centurion, so that you both have to take care of it under my account, what does Lin Hero think?" ”

Zhao Zhengli glanced at the short black fat man who was eager for talent, and he was speechless, if he knew that the two in front of him were the royal brothers of the dynasty, I don't know what kind of expression it would be?

It's no wonder that he is so anxious, after all, the battle under He Wen's tent has suffered serious losses, if there is too much shortage, his rank of small capital will naturally have no name, if the soldiers who recruit talents to follow him are too prosperous, he should not be able to be qualified as the commander, the left and right deputy generals, and even the generals, no matter how bold he is, hundreds of thousands of mercenaries, and the commander of one side will be born!

But then again, all these assumptions are not easy to achieve, there are imperial court patrol envoys, there are local overhead festival envoys, and there are colleagues in the middle to take precautions, and every step of growth is within the scope of the imperial court's surveillance.

Unless the troubled times arise, the heroes come out, and today has just been set for six years, although there is friction between several countries, this situation will not be able to set off a big wave, it depends on whether the Qingguo court is stable at present.

He Wen finally didn't have time to win over the two "love generals", and when he learned the identities of the two captives, he was almost stupid, and immediately sent someone to escort them back to the barracks, waiting for Commander Ge's arrangement.

I don't know if he has a conscience, or if he deliberately supported the meritorious minister Zhao Zhengli, and arranged for him to return to the camp with the army to rest on the grounds that he was seriously injured.

After forcing back the Khitan reinforcements, Huang Weishan temporarily stationed nearly 200 people.

In the afternoon of the same day, an army of 10,000 people formed by the two armies of Qilan and Changning on Hedong Road went to Yanmen Pass in Daizhou to support.

On the same day, Zhao Zhengli stayed up all night fighting the Khitan Shuanglong Yeluhe and one of the three commanders, Dahe Luohan, and the deeds spread throughout the northern military camp.

Thinking about Zhao Zhengli with his ass, he knew that it was Yao Rongbei who was fueling the flames and creating momentum, because the only one who had the ability to help him build momentum in the north was the son of the deputy commander.

At present, the two countries are facing each other, the situation is tense, and the slightest bit of information is concerned by all walks of life, this news is like growing wings, spreading rapidly, Xiaodu Tong He Wen originally planned to get a piece of the pie and leave a name, but he had to give up when he saw the increasingly serious situation.

However, there is a secret information that few people know, after noon that day, the Khitan great master came to Huangwei Mountain in person, but unfortunately it was a step late, his beloved son Yeluhe and Dahe Luohan were escorted away for a long time, this great master was angry, and instantly destroyed hundreds of soldiers of Qingguo stationed in Huangwei Mountain, and then left with anger.

In the sixth year of Xingtong, in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the deputy commander of Hedong Road and the capital supervisor patrol envoy Zhang Youping jointly discussed and reported to the imperial court, Huang Weishan fought a battle Zhao Zhengli bravely killed the enemy, defended the position, captured the general commander of the two, won the first merit, continued the former Tang Wu general's merit twelve turns, for the "upper gain", in addition to the "middle gain", "lower gain", as the name suggests, medium harvest and inferior harvest.

Superior harvest, five turns of military merit, and the captain of the light car to protect the army, although it is also a four-grade title, but there is a world of difference in the implied treatment, if it is placed in the past dynasties, the protector is not in charge of thousands of forbidden troops, but also in the border of the high-ranking officials.

Although it is said to be a fictitious title in the current dynasty, the monthly monthly offering and the number of annual festival ceremonies have changed, and the reward is 1,000 taels of silver.

The two supreme commanders of Hedong Road additionally promoted Zhao Zhengli to serve as the unification of the small capital of Huangweishan, and with the prestige of the Khitan, Liu Dawei under his account bravely broke the enemy, promoted the centurion, and rewarded the silver and white.

It can be said that one person has ascended to heaven, and he is greedy for the old pawns who follow Zhao Dutong, and he seems to think of the encouragement of the Japanese military camp in his ears: "The whole army is united, make money together on the battlefield, drink the strongest wine with everyone, and soak the hottest girl!" ”
