Chapter 10, Section 10, Huai River Hanging, 188
Huai River hanging
On this day, the army that went north to resist Jin was about to withdraw to the south bank of the Huai River except for a part of the remaining ones, and Ren Tianqi asked people to build a tall and simple altar on the north bank of the Huai River.
The whole army stood still in front of the stage. Solemn and silent, the vegetarian extended.
The breeze and drizzle seem to be telling the story behind this war that should never have happened. He Ren Tianqi is unwilling to fight, but under the deterrence of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Dajin Kingdom, the only way for the Xuzhou soldiers to survive is to rise up and resist; and now it is indeed the lion iron armor that has defeated the Dajin Kingdom, but he Ren Tianqi does not have a trace of joy in his heart, and even he does not even have the courage to go to the old prince to explain Daoqing; of course the old prince is also unwilling to fight, he has long guessed the scene of his son-in-law meeting each other, and imagined that tens of millions of dollars will not come this time to come quickly and tragically and earth-shattering, he did not think to weigh any possible reproach of the imperial brother, the ridicule of the world, and the accusations behind the soldiers, he felt that the world had become so dull, lonely, and desolate.
The embarrassed and silent faces of the soldiers showed a kind of excitement and joy. After this battle, the whole world was shocked, and looking at the people and troops in the world who could compete with the Xuzhou soldiers! The blood and lives that flowed out of the battlefield were not enough to cause these soldiers to hesitate or repent; they only focused on the fame, glory, and wealth that were about to be obtained. Among the soldiers, especially the 5,000 Mongol soldiers, it was even more difficult to suppress the inexplicable excitement that followed the bloody killing.
Only the great monks Lu Qian and Tang Shengzhi felt that the evil of this military battle was very great, and they couldn't help sighing, and secretly felt sad.
Everything is ready, a little red to invite Ren Tianqi.
Ren Tianqi struggled to get off the ground, limped to the front of the stage, went to the altar again, sat down with the incense case, and looked at the subordinates around. Although the Xuzhou soldiers have always been brave and martial, now they are also disheveled after a vicious battle, many are disabled, and they are even embarrassed, like a group of beggars, and they can't help but feel sad.
Recently, whenever in the dead of night, when he couldn't fall asleep and reverie, Ren Tianqi always lay there stupidly, looking at the roof with helpless eyes wide open in the dark, thinking about the bits and pieces of his life, thinking about his own scenery and down-and-out times, thinking about the lovely and intimate people in his life; his mind often reproduces those blood, those moans, and all kinds of ugliness that can be shown in life, he Ren Tianqi feels that he is old, and wonders if the road under his feet is wrong; he wants to start over, but he is worried about whether there will be this wealth and glory in his lifeHow could he have understood Ren Tianqi without the many troubles and bitterness that he had to say today......
A breeze blew, and there seemed to be a strong smell of blood in the wind, Ren Tianqi felt a heat in his chest, and a stream of heat rushed up. He let Tianqi endure it and didn't vomit it, he knew that his heart was dripping blood.
Ren Tianqi retracted his thoughts, calmed down, and hurriedly waved his hand to ask Tian Muzuo to read out the list of generals who had been promoted with merit, especially the promotion of Ma Benqing to the general of Xuzhou. In this battle, Ma Benqing won the championship.
Tian Mu Zuo finished reading and stepped aside.
Based on the text of the memorial sacrifice, it should be read by the general Wen Tingyu, and Ren Tianqi thought that it would be more appropriate to ask the great monk Lu Qian to read it on his behalf.
After reading the memorial text, the three armies were gloomy.
Ren Tianqi got up and stood up, got three pillars of incense, poured three glasses of wine, and respectfully respected the gods of all parties, before he came up to pry his robe and kneel to worship the heroic spirit of the fallen soldiers, which was crying loudly.
The whole army cried for a while.
Ren Tianqi thought of Mu Huatong's accidental death, thought of the nearly 5,000 newly added souls of the Xuzhou soldiers, thought of the misunderstanding with the county lord, thought of his bumps and bumps in the past few years, and thought of the bitterness and grievances in his heart that had never been confided in others, and cried bitterly.
A little red hurriedly ordered Ren Tianqi to help him down the altar.
Back to the big tent, Ren Tianqi didn't think about it.
Fortunately, the second lady Dongxue took Xia He with her, and Xiaoyun was already waiting in the tent. When Ren Tianqi saw several women in the room, she couldn't suppress her grievances again, and cried bitterly. Dongxue waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to retreat, and only four men and women were left in the big tent. The four of them were speechless. Ren Tianqi just looked at the three women stupidly, bursting into tears.
Xiaoyun smiled with tears on his face: "Ye is tired, it's better to sleep at the desk!"
Ren Tianqi nodded, stretched his legs and lay down.
Xia He was about to step forward to help, but Dongxue secretly reached out and grabbed it, and glanced at Xiaoyun again.
Xiaoyun understood, and with a red face and red ears, he had to come to help Ren Tianqi lie down.
Ren Tianqi closed his eyes and was at the mercy of Xiaoyun. Xiaoyun was about to retreat, but Ren Tianqi suddenly grabbed his hand. Xiaoyun didn't dare to move, and hurriedly looked up at Dongxue and Xia He.
Dongxue smiled and nodded. Xia He was already a little jealous in his eyes.
It was getting late, Ren Tianqi woke up and wrote "Yujingqiu" with tears in his eyes. Brothers by the Huai River"
Yu Jingqiu
Out of the mountains, Lingding is lonely, and it is difficult to walk.
Sleeping in the open air, the remnants of the shirt have not been continued.
The desert is lonely and ruthless, and the black water is sad with wind, frost and snow.
hates the sky, does not argue right and wrong, and is repeatedly teased.
Cold plums and peach blossoms, spring is too early, and people are cheap and rainy.
A strong man meets a nobleman, a famous man, and a confidant.
The horses are chaotic and leave no traces, who knows Mr.?
Empty lamentation, depression is not only one person!
All the generals came to visit.
Winter Snow and others went to rest in their sleeping tents.
Ren Tianqi was in a very bad mood, so he left the camp under the escort of the two brothers of Lutang and Tian Ma and other personal soldiers, and walked slowly along the river.
Lu Qian and Ren Tianqi drove together.
Lu Qian looked at the crowd playing in the Huai River, faced the blowing wind, and said slowly: "All the matters that the virtuous brother explained to the old prince have been completed, but the old prince did not say whether the county lord's mother and daughter will return to Yangzhou." The foolish brother couldn't help but weigh in his heart, did we win enough miserably this time, did we add enough chaos to the old prince that he couldn't bear, made the old prince unhappy, or did the old prince really have something unspeakable?"
Ren Tianqi looked at the river and smiled bitterly: "Hey, the little brother's heart is very annoyed now, just now the Dongfang sister left, and the county lord took the sheep and sheep to say goodbye, the little brother really can't figure it out! Is it because the little brother's killing heart is too heavy? All this is God's punishment for me! That is, that is, it is the murderous heart that is too heavy, retribution, retribution!" Ren Tianqi muttered.
Lu Qian shook his head and said, "How is this possible? Why should the virtuous brother bother to seek himself and not add trouble to himself? I think that the murder of the Oriental girl was caused by Mr. Simon, the tree fell and scattered, and the people died for money, and the trouble of carrying wealth! What does this have to do with the virtuous brother! It's just a pity that the Oriental girl is such a good person but is not rewarded, and the sky has no eyes, which is really a pity!"
Ren Tianqi's cheeks flowed with tears.
Lu Qian said: "And the matter of this county lord seems to be quite simple but not simple! When my brother returned to Yangzhou, he saw the big housekeeper of the family, and the big housekeeper said that he was sent by the old lady, saying that everyone in the family knew that you had taken a concubine and bought a family property. Presumably, the county lord was also angry because of this, and taking away the sheep and sheep may be his own children who can't rest assured that they can bring it to others, maybe it is forgivable......; Hey, but I believe that the county lord will come back!"
Ren Tianqi reined in his horse, nodded and said: "If this is the case, the younger brother is also a lot more steady, but who will say the matter of taking a concubine and buying property? Zhixia's mother and daughter should have been known if they wanted to be known, Dongfang Mei and even the eldest brother just knew that she was the daughter of Mr. Simon, and few people knew everything! Who said that he had leaked his mouth? Hey, I don't know where the county lord's mother and daughter are, and whether they are in line with the old prince and the old princess? In the future, what face will I have to meet the prince and princess, and meet the old people in the capital......"
Lu Qian glanced at Ren Tianqi and said: "Brother Xian, the matter has come to this point, you should relax your heart! As the saying goes, if you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it." These things will come to light sooner or later, what's the use of regretting now?"
Ren Tianqi's face flushed, and he bowed his head and said: "What the eldest brother said, what the ancients said is, take history as a mirror, why should future generations be obsessed...... Hey, I don't know if the old prince already knows about this, how will I face the old prince and the princess in the future! How is this good? I and I have failed to live up to their expectations......" Ren Tianqi slowly shrank on his horse.
Lu Qian didn't pay attention to Ren Tianqi's slight changes, and sighed: "Whatever, now he can only take one step at a time!"
Lu Qian glanced at Ren Tianqi and said, "Brother Xian, don't you think that General Yuan led his troops to come to meet him a little too quickly? As soon as Brother Wei returned to Jiangdu and had not yet sent someone to Tongzhou, General Yuan sent someone to say that he had already deployed troops in Qutang and was waiting for the dispatch, and even the 5,000 Mongolian troops had also been brought along. Do you want to -----?."
Ren Tianqi looked back at his eldest brother, his eyes were angry.
Lu Qian nodded and said: "This Mongolian army is the henchman of the virtuous brother, and it is the elite division of our Xuzhou soldiers! Mongolian soldiers can only be mobilized by tiger talismans! Is this General Yuan ----?" Lu Qian was speechless and looked at Ren Tianqi.
Ren Tianqi smiled slightly, bit his lip, his face was full of indifference, looked up at the sky, and said coldly: "What does the eldest brother mean is that General Yuan has been in Tongzhou for too long and already has a foundation? This Mongolian army is afraid that it should be taken back because it has a new home? Yes, the younger brother thinks that it is time to let the Mongolian Tartars carry out activities! This good house has been lived in for a long time, but even the murderous spirit will be gone, and the eldest brother reminded it in time! As the old saying goes, this person's heart is separated from the belly, and it is difficult to know the face! How many people in the world can really share weal and woe! What is the end of the world for General Yuan? Then how should the eldest brother view General Yuan?"
Lu Qian was stunned when he heard this, and thought to himself that the virtuous brother usually speaks without beating around the bush, there is one thing to say, why is he so spitting and spitting today, and there is something to say in his words, he couldn't help but look up at Ren Tianqi, and said: "Brother Wei thinks that General Yuan is both civil and military, quite capable, and worthy of being a side, but he is a little bit of a person who has no city government and is easy to be impulsive." What do you think?"
Ren Tianqi smiled and said: "The eldest brother means to blame me for not speaking straightforwardly enough, not very accustomed to it, and I am worried in my heart! The younger brother privately thinks that it is time to knock and knock some people!" Ren Tianqi kicked the horse after speaking, urging the horse out.
Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, his face was red and his ears were dry, he was already sweating on his face, and he felt that his back was cold and swishing, so he hurriedly waved his sleeves and wiped his face, and hurriedly urged the horse to follow.
Tang Shengzhi and the others on the side were also stunned, and they stopped talking, and they hurriedly urged the horses to catch up.
They walked by the river for an hour or two. Ren Tianqi was silent, and others didn't dare to interrupt after all.
Returning to the camp, Ren Tianqi immediately raised the big tent and blamed the leader of the Mongolian army in Tongzhou, who was demoted by three ranks, and had forty military sticks, and sent people to Tongzhou Yuan Ren, who was assigned to Lin'an, to reprimand him in writing for not obeying the general's order to transfer troops and send generals privately, and the rank of official general, but he still exercised the responsibility of a general and sat in Tongzhou.
