On the ancient wasteland road, a long line winds like a snake.
From a distance it looked like an army, for there were many soldiers in armor and horses with spears running to and fro; Closer, it looks like a caravan, because there are many carts of all sizes, large and small, mules, horses, donkeys, and even camels; When I got closer, I looked like a crowd of refugees, the poor people in tattered clothes, and the daughters of the big families in silk and satin, all huddled together, slowly marching in the wilderness.
Some Northwest Han men actually wore a torn sheepskin jacket on a hot day, and their bodies emitted a bad smell, and they only had this one piece of clothing all year round in spring, summer and autumn.
This is the people that Cheng Dexuan and Yang Hao took away from the Northern Han Dynasty, most of the people who seem to be poorer than the beggars in the Central Plains, but at this time, Liu Jiyuan, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, who learned the news, is in the palace with great pain, which is one-third of the population of the Northern Han Kingdom.
The sun is scorching, the air is steaming, and a gust of wind is blowing in a heat wave, which makes people feel cool at all.
Squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, the scenery in the distance is faintly fluctuating in the air waves like a reflection in the water.
The people were all weak, but the soldiers were still urging, and the soldiers now knew that His Majesty the Emperor was cutting off the queen for them, and they were fighting hard with the Khitans, and they had to get out of danger as soon as possible.
But the people who didn't know it couldn't help but complain, and they complained while continuing to rush forward under the threat of the Song army's swords and guns.
A donkey cart was stuck in front of it, and it had rained heavily the other day on the ancient road, and there were some potholes here, but it was dry elsewhere, and it was still muddy, so that the little donkey could not pull the cart over with all his strength.
The people walked by, looking indifferently at the old man who was desperately leading the donkey in front of the cart and a woman pushing the cart vigorously behind the cart.
At such times, human compassion seems to be tormented by the tired and scorching sun.
"Hurry up, hurry up, what are you rubbing, hurry up."
The two horsemen noticed that something was wrong, and drove their horses over, and their spears roared loudly.
The woman was about to cry, and explained pitifully: "Master Jun, it's not that the little woman doesn't leave, but the car is trapped." ” Yang Hao galloped over and asked, "What's wrong, it's you?"
He saw that the woman was a little familiar, and after a closer look, he suddenly remembered that she was the woman he had seen when he searched for the remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty in the countryside that day, and the woman also recognized him at a glance, and shouted happily: "Master Yang." ” Yang Hao turned over and dismounted, walked over and said, "You don't need to call the master, just call the adult."
Sister-in-law, where is your child?"
At this time, someone in the car shouted: "Uncle Yang Hao." ” Yang Hao looked at the car, only to see that the curtain of the flower cloth had opened a corner, and a child was curled up in the depths of the canopy, only two eyes were bright, looking at him with a look of joy and admiration, he couldn't see his face clearly, he only felt dirty, still like a puppy, beside him, there were all pots and jars.
"Dog, you have also been brought out" Yang Hao said in surprise: "Come, uncle will help you push the car out." ” Yang Hao used enough strength to push the car, but the wheels had been trapped, and the car was messed up with a lot of things and it was too heavy, and the donkey in front of him was pulled, and the axle part was a little twisted.
Yang Hao couldn't exert his strength at all in the back, his face turned red, and he was about to call the two soldiers who had no eyesight to come down and help carry the car, when a hoarse and low voice suddenly came from the side: "Mu En, go and help a hand." ” Yang Hao looked back and saw a big man with a beard on his face, entrenched in a car, with an awning above his head, but it was ventilated all around.
The big man was actually at least fifty years old, his hair and beard were gray, and his face was wrinkled like a knife and an axe.
The reason why Yang Hao mistook him for a big man at a glance was just because this person's figure was really burly and tall, and he sat cross-legged in the car, but he gave people a feeling of Mount Tai pine and East China Sea Jieshi, arrogant and upright.
This person commanded, and immediately bypassed a big man next to the car, Yang Hao and the old man were full of vicissitudes of life with wise eyes, and looked at the big man who responded to the voice, and was startled again, on a hot day, this big man had a bare backbone, and his tanned body was like a mound, and it was as strong as iron.
Looking at his size, it is about 1.9 meters, although the people in the northwest region are generally taller and stronger, this person's size is really scary, especially he is not only tall, but also strong, compared with his sturdy figure that does not lose to Governor Arnold, Yang Hao is simply a small waist of Yang Liu.
The big man walked to the back of the car, looked up and down, bent his waist, and carried the frame on his shoulders, and shouted "hey", the wheels were carried by him, he lifted the car over the hurdle, and gently put it down, looking relaxed and still had spare strength.
The dog in the car barked "oops" and quickly held on to the crumbling altar and jar on the side.
The big man grinned, walked back to his car as if nothing had happened, picked up the big whip, and drove the car forward.
Yang Hao noticed that the car was pulled by two sturdy mules, and only the tall old man with gray hair sat in the car, and after the car passed, more than a dozen stout men followed by the car, all of whom seemed to be his servants.
Such a person, this person should be a rich gentleman and a wealthy businessman, but looking at his clothes and the simple layout of the car, it is not like it, especially the big men who follow him, all of them are ragged, and they are not a little better than beggars.
Curiosity only flashed in his heart, so he sat next to the car, while leading the horse, while chatting with the woman, it turned out that the woman's husband's surname was Ma, and her husband had died in the war, leaving only the mother and son to rely on each other.
Their mother and son were forced out by the soldiers sent by Cheng Dexuan, and she had to obey, but she was afraid that her son would be exposed to the sun, so she begged the old man in the same village to leave a place for her son in the car.
When asked about the situation, Yang Hao said: "Sister-in-law, this journey will definitely be harder, but once you arrive in the Central Plains, it will be much better than this bitter cold land in the northwest."
It's rich there, just find something to make a living, and your life is much better than here.
You can go forward with peace of mind, just tell me if you have anything, and I will definitely help if I can. ” The sister-in-law thanked her again and again, Yang Hao turned over and got on the horse, and was about to gallop forward, when the dog in the car yelled urgently: "Uncle Yang Hao." ” Yang Hao grabbed the reins of the horse, bent down and smiled: "Dog, what do you do to call the uncle." ” The dog looked at him with a blank eye, but he didn't dare to poke his head out, so he only said, "Uncle, are you going to settle in the Central Plains?"
Yang Hao smiled: "Uncle won't go to the Central Plains, but Uncle will escort you." ” "Oh" The dog was a little disappointed, thought about it and asked: "Uncle, can you come to accompany the dog at night, the dog has never left the village, and has not seen the outside world."
There are a lot of people here at night, so lively, but my mother is afraid that she will not be able to find our car if she gets separated, so she never allows me to walk around. ” Sister-in-law Ma scolded: "It's really ignorant, Master Yang has a lot of things to do, I don't know how tired I am at the end of the day, how can I have time to accompany you." ” The dog pursed his mouth, and Yang Hao smiled: "Okay, if you have time at night, then the uncle will accompany you to walk and chat on this grassland." ” When the dog heard this, he smiled, and couldn't hold back his excitement and said, "Okay, Uncle Yang Hao, the dog is waiting for you at night." ” Yang Hao smiled, galloped forward with his legs on the horse's belly, and saw the car that was guarded in the middle by more than a dozen thick men intentionally or unintentionally, he suddenly remembered Fang Cai's suspicion, walked closer, looked sideways into the car, and saw the fifty-year-old man pick up a sheepskin bag from his lap, unscrew the stopper and poured a big mouthful, looking at the water stains on his mouth, it seemed to be turbid wine rather than drinking water.
Seeing Yang Hao looking at him, the old man smiled slightly, and Yang Hao said, "What does the old man do, it's really a good figure." ” The old man smiled faintly and said: "The old man is a hard-working man, half a life, only raising horses for a living, but he has never saved any family business, and now he has been moved to the Central Plains by Lord Cheng, hehe, maybe there will be a few days of good life, the old man is very happy." ” Yang Hao saw that he was insincere, he must have something to hide, it seems that his team is really a mixture of dragons and snakes, all kinds of characters, he was about to turn around and wipe his feet again, when he suddenly heard a noisy shouting and scolding in front of him, so he hurriedly turned his horse's head and rushed forward.
This way, although it is to escort these people to the Song Kingdom, so far there have been no Khitan soldiers, and no thieves have been encountered, but there are always big and small things along the way, some people escape, some people fight, some people fall behind, some people are sick, those soldiers are calm and reasonable masters, but this kind of thing has always been indiscriminate, regardless of who is right and who is wrong, they will be full of old fists, in order to reduce disputes and cause resentment among the people, Cheng Dexuan and Yang Hao The two angels ran around to solve the correction and appease the people, It's really tiring and choking.
As soon as he saw that there were people gathered in front of him, Yang Hao was afraid that the people who were escorting him had a dispute with the officers and soldiers again, so he immediately rushed to the front, but when he got to the front, he saw several soldiers under his command holding guns around a Taoist, and Fan Laosi was shouting and saying something.
The man looked to be about forty years old, and he was thin.
Seeing that he has a thin face, black hair, a pair of small eyes that always seem to be unable to wake up, a sparse beard under his chin, wearing a torn and dirty robe, and a lazy bun on his head, with a branch inserted, a bit like a down-and-out wandering Taoist.
Yang Hao Pegasus arrived and asked loudly, "What's wrong?"
When the Taoist saw someone coming, he casually looked up at him, and when he saw his appearance, the Taoist was stunned, and he looked at it carefully, and the pair of slender and long eyes that seemed to never be able to open suddenly bloomed with two starry rays, which were a little dazzling.
But Yang Hao didn't see it, he looked at Fan Laosi after asking, and when he turned his head to look at this person, the surprised expression on the old Taoist's face had disappeared, and his eyes had become warm and dull.
As soon as Fan Laosi saw him coming, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Lord Metropolitan Eunuch, we just went to explore the way, and saw this Taoist hiding in the grass with a ghostly head, suspecting that he was a spy of the Khitan dog, and when he was caught and questioned, he said that he was in the grass, and he didn't dare to show up when he saw the big team of people coming, so he hid there and snooped." ” "Oh" Yang Hao looked at the sloppy Taoist who didn't look amazing suspiciously, and then looked at the endless wilderness wasteland before and after: "A Taoist can come to this northwest wasteland alone to say what to do" Fan Laosi said: "The subordinates have this question, this wilderness ancient road is rarely walked, when someone really comes, at least dozens of people have to go with them to be safe, and suddenly a Taoist person runs out, it is suspicious." ” The Daoist had already shrugged his shoulders at this time, made a mockery to Yang Hao, and said in a high voice: "Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable."
A few days ago, Japan passed through here with a caravan, but was attacked by robbers, and all those merchants fled, and the poor road was separated from them, so he got lost here.

Poor Dao is also a Han person, and he is not a Khitan spy, so please ask Taiwei to investigate. ” "Oh" Yang Hao looked at him carefully and asked, "Where does the Dao Master practice?"
The Taoist straightened his chicken breast and said with a smile: "There is a Tao in my heart, and there is no place in the world that you can't practice." ” "Hey, where did the Taoist come from?"
"Poor people come from everywhere."
"Where to go" "Go anywhere."
Yang Hao smiled, raised his right hand slightly, lowered his index finger, and said lightly: "Beat him for me" Several soldiers immediately dropped their swords and guns, and when they went up, they were punched and stomped.
"Ouch, ouch, spare your life, poor Dao's body is ouchy, but I can't stand the fists and feet of the military masters."
Lao Dao was beaten by a few big-headed soldiers, curled up on the ground and howled non-stop, suddenly felt that the fists and feet on his body stopped, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Mrs.
Yang was squatting in front of him and looking at him with a smile, Lao Dao stammered: "Mrs.
Captain" Yang Hao gently lifted his chin with the reins of the horse, and said with a smile: "Where does the Taoist master practice, where does he come from?"
"The poor road is practiced in the Yuntai Temple of Taihua Mountain, and it comes from Taihua Mountain."
"Where to go" "Go to the crape myrtle mountain outside Yanmen Pass to find a Taoist friend."
"The honorific title of the Taoist is this" "Poor road shaker."
"Hehe, you see, if you talk about people earlier, you won't be beaten."
Yang Hao got up and said: "There is a big battle ahead, you can't get out of this pass, and follow me back, as soon as you enter the territory completely controlled by my Song people, it is up to you to go wherever you want to go at that time."
Fan Laosi, watched him and didn't allow this person to leave our team.
Then he stepped on his horse and walked away.
Lao Dao gasped, stood up grinning amid the laughter of the soldiers, looked at Yang Hao's distant back, and said secretly in his heart: "You demon, you are really good."
I have lived to ninety-nine this year, and I have never been beaten like this."
Yang Hao galloped back, and Cheng Dexuan greeted him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yang Hao said: "It's nothing, even if I meet a sloppy Taoist, I can't see anything suspicious, but for the sake of safety, I have ordered the soldiers to watch him closely, advance with our brigade, and let him leave when he enters our Central Plains." ” Cheng Dexuan listened to it and said approvingly: "Yang Dujian is very thoughtful, our mission seems to be leisurely, but in fact it is full of dangers." ” "yes."
Yang Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the long line of people walking around, and said with a tight brow: "It's been three days since I came out, and I don't know what the battle situation is in the official family, it's really worrying, we should go faster in order to get out of danger as soon as possible." ” Cheng Dexuan smiled bitterly: "But this speed can't be faster, the weather is hot, and there are many old and weak women and children in the team, if there are chasing soldiers in the future, it's okay, but now that the wind and waves are calm, forcing them to take out the strength to eat milk to hurry, how can these tens of thousands of people be willing" Yang Hao shook his head and sighed: "I'd rather go on like this, rather than really have chasing soldiers coming, otherwise we will be live targets, with so many people, it is not easy to get rid of the tracking of the Khitan Iron Cavalry." ” Cheng Dexuan nodded, and the hidden worries in his heart gradually rose.
It has been three days since he left Chimayuan, and the three days have been calm, but the calmer he is, the more uneasy his heart is, if the official family wins, there is no reason not to send someone to report the battle situation, the eastbound route is designated by the official family, and it is impossible for him to find someone.
However, there has been no news from the official family, could it be that the army of the imperial court has been He shook his head and comforted himself secretly: "No, if the imperial court officials and troops were really defeated, the rout would have fled a long time ago, no matter how fierce the Khitans were, they could still eat these more than 100,000 people in one go, so the two armies should still be in a stalemate confrontation, in this way, I can lead these hundreds of people to get out of danger and enter a safe area as soon as possible."
At this thought, his anxious heart calmed down again.
Yang Hao looked back and forth, frowned slightly, and said: "Brother Cheng, although the wind and waves are calm at the moment, there has been no news from behind, the necessary precautions still have to be done, you see, our guard team is too long, and those chariots are also mixed in the people's convoy, so once someone attacks, it is difficult to play a role, in fact, these people are good people who keep their own peace, a soldier looks at him a thousand people, no one will dare to resist, we should concentrate our troops, and the chariots should also be concentrated to defend the rear." ” Although Cheng Dexuan has a hand in swordsmanship, in fact, Yunwen is good at medicine and does not know the art of war, so he doesn't know more about Yang Hao who used to watch movies and television, and when he heard him, he said: "The thousands of soldiers sent by the official family to us are used to escort the people and prevent people from making an uproar, and secondly, to beware of bandits and bandits blocking the road and robbing them.
Yang Hao said: "If there is really a police, our three thousand tiger guards can resist at least for a while, if we don't concentrate, it will really be a plate of scattered sand." ” Cheng Dexuan shook his head, nodded again, and sighed: "Okay, just arrange it according to what you said, I hope our team doesn't really come in handy." ” The night was dark, the heat of the day was swept away, and the wind on the prairie was a little cold.
There were so many people, many of whom had no experience of traveling far, and even though it was already the third day, it took a lot of effort to settle them.
Yang Hao went to visit the soldiers who were in the back line, and then walked past the people who gathered in groups of three or five to light bonfires to cook dry food.
After walking a short distance, I suddenly heard someone calling: "Uncle Yang Hao." ” Yang Hao stopped and turned around, and saw the dog running from a bonfire, his mother was cooking the food distributed by the soldiers with a jar on the bonfire, and when she saw her son running away, she hurriedly barked at him, and the dog turned around and shouted: "Mother, I'm playing with Uncle Yang Hao." ” Yang Hao beckoned to Sister-in-law Ma and said, "Sister-in-law, tell the dog to come with me, and I'll send him back in a while."
Sister-in-law Ma answered, and squatted by the bonfire again.
Yang Hao took the dog's thin and slender little hand and said with a smile: "Dog, the sun is going down, but it's your world, haha, it's very tiring for you to take care of you, and you are not allowed to be naughty by her side." ” The dog replied childishly: "The dog listens to his mother very much, and he is never naughty." ” "I just saw someone resting by the fire, how can I see that you seem to be flirting with people?"
The dog covered his mouth and laughed: "Uncle Yang Hao, you don't know, today there is a strangely dressed person, my mother said that he is a monk, called a Taoist priest, this Taoist priest is so strange, he sleeps when everyone leaves, sleeps while walking, he still sleeps when everyone stops, and he also wants to ask people for something to eat."
As soon as the fire was lit, he lay down next to him and slept, and he would not wake up when I scratched his nostrils with a small straw stick. ” "Oh" As soon as he heard the dog, Yang Hao knew who that person was, and he had long felt that this person was a little weird, but now looking at his performance, he really looked like a strange person.
Strange people in the rivers and lakes, how high will the art industry be, is it so high that the general Yang Hao smiled, looked back again, and saw that the Taoist priest was lying sideways, sleeping with his head in his hand, and a goatee was blown by the wind, shaking slightly in the firelight.
"Uncle Yang, I'm hungry."
Yang Hao turned around, took his thin little hand, and said, "What have you eaten these days?"
The dog became excited, and reported to him with his fingers: "I have eaten a lot of good things in the past few days, there are naan, buns, and white rice, so fragrant and fragrant, since my father died, I have never eaten these good things, before, I can always eat a bite during the New Year." ” Yang Hao felt pity and said, "Let's go, accompany the uncle to dinner, the uncle not only has buns, but also meat, which is very fragrant." ” He said to Sister-in-law Ma Yaoyao, then took the dog's little hand and walked to his accommodation, and when he arrived at his accommodation, the soldiers had already cooked rice, steamed buns, rice, and fragrant dried meat soup.
The dog was so greedy that he swallowed and salivaed, Yang Hao smiled and asked his soldiers to fill him with a full bowl, and he also picked up a bowl, and asked while eating: "Dog, have you always only had a nickname, why didn't your father give you a big one?"
The dog was gobbling it up, and when he heard this, he stopped his chopsticks and said gloomily: "My father said that the family is poor, so the dog is easy to feed."
Dad said, when I grow up, I'll give me a good name, but then the rebels killed, and my dad died."
Yang Hao looked at him, in fact, the dog's eyebrows were clear, and it looked very painful.
It's just that due to a strange disease that can only appear at night, the skin is too pale.
The poor family background made him a little malnourished, and looking at him, he looked a bit like a little Rob Head.
Yang Hao smiled and said, "Don't be sad, or Uncle will help you come up with a name." ” "Okay, okay," the dog's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly ran to him with his rice bowl and sat down: "Uncle, what kind of name do you give me?"
"Hmm" Yang Hao looked at the flying flames of the bonfire in front of him, and said: "What about you, born with a strange disease, you can only come out at night, and you can never see the sun, in your life, the most rare thing is light, so you call it Ma Yi, this Yi character is four fires, make up for your lack of hit." ” "Ma Yi" The dog muttered twice, suddenly grabbed Yang Hao's hand, and said excitedly: "Uncle, I remember, I will be called Ma Yi in the future, can you teach me how to write my name" Yang Hao picked up a piece of wooden stick, wrote the word "Ma Yi" on the ground, the dog hurriedly pulled the remaining few rice grains in the bowl into his mouth, and then picked up a wooden stick, lying on the ground to learn stroke by stroke, the red fire reflected his face, looking particularly serious.

"Little one, sleepy or not, I should send you back, or you'll be worried."
The dog raised his face and smiled: "I'm not sleepy, I've slept enough during the day."
He jumped up, pointed to the crowd near and far, and said happily: "I have never had a night when so many people accompanied me and was so lively." ” Yang Hao smiled slightly, took his hand, and pulled this lonely, easy little thing to be happy for a little satisfaction up a high slope, looking side by side at the long line like a fire dragon, then turned to the southeast direction, picked him up, pointed to the distance and said: "Dog, look over there, we will walk a long, long way, cross a very wide river, and then go to a very big city."
That city is called Kaifeng.
When all the countries of the world went into darkness, there were as many lights there as the stars in the sky, and that city was the first city in the world that never sleeped.
The people in that city don't use firewood for cooking like we do, but with some black stones.
You say it's not fun The most interesting thing is that every night, there are many, many people, ten times more than we are now, wearing bright clothes, walking in the lively night market, when you get there, you will never be as lonely as now, even if you can only go out at night every day, you will see the market, shops, restaurants, teahouses open all night, just like during the day.
There, you can find many, many friends, no longer need you to accompany you, carry a lantern, walk in the quiet village, and go to climb trees alone in the middle of the night."
The dog flickered a pair of big eyes and listened quietly, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he asked softly: "Uncle, is that Da Song there?"
Yang Hao hugged him with one arm, his thin body was as light as a cat, Yang Hao smiled and said: "Yes, that is the Great Song Dynasty, the richest place in the world." ” "Then why doesn't Uncle go and stay there?"
"Hehe, it's good there, but Uncle still has a lot to do.
When the uncle has his wish to be here, he may go and settle there. ” Yang Hao's gaze slowly turned to the east, the smile gradually disappeared, and his eyes became hazy: the old lady Yang, Brother Daliang, and the annoying Luo Dong'er, those vivid faces, as if they appeared one by one in the night sky, were smiling at him He sniffed and stopped his tears, although the child in his arms could only live forever at night, but his childish heart had never been stained with dust, and Yang Hao didn't want him to know that there were so many cruel things and ugly people in the world The dog was sent to his mother, maybe because there were too many people around, so many people he had never seen in his life, maybe because of what Yang Hao told him about the outside world tonight, he couldn't sleep with excitement, and kept holding his mother's hand and learning everything Yang Hao told him to her.
He was proud, because he now knew many, many things that his mother did not know, and he knew more than his own mother.
He knew that the world was very big, and that he had to go a long way on a chariot and horse, and that he knew that the place he was going to cross was a very wide river, and he also knew that there was a city on the other side of the river, and it was the only city in the whole world that was as lively at night as it was during the day, and there were lights everywhere, as many as the stars in the sky He blinked, looked at the shining stars in the sky, and thought, "Isn't that the same as the heavenly palace where the gods live?"
"By the way, mother, there is another big thing, I have a name now, it is the name given to me by Uncle Yang Hao.
Mother, mother" The little guy sat up and pursed his mouth, because after a tiring day, Sister-in-law Ma coped with his words casually, and at this time she could not sleep deeply.
The evening is his world, and only the evening is his most energetic time.
He didn't feel sleepy, he got up alone, ran to the bonfire, pulled out a half-burned branch from the bonfire, extinguished the flames, and right next to the fire, tilted his head and wrote his name with great interest: "Ma Yi, four fires, the name given by the uncle is really good." ” "Ah, ah" The Taoist who slept like a dead pig sat up at some point, yawned and said: "Little girl, people are so happy to give you a name, you have to be careful, there are many bad people in this world, don't be coaxed to sell you, you are still happy to help others count the silver." ” "Sleep, you, you will doze off when you walk, now you are in good spirits, Uncle Yang Hao is a good person, so he won't hurt me."
You say bad things about Uncle Yang, I will ignore you" After the dog finished speaking, he turned his back to him angrily, and wrote his name on the ground again.
The sloppy Taoist smiled, lay down again, and looked at the starry sky with his arms crossed and Erlang's legs, but his expression became strange: "Lao Dao has cultivated the Dao for a lifetime, and it is the first time he has seen such a strange thing.
Chunyangzi's old demon said, hehe, just let him wait outside the gate for a few more days, he has lived for so long, he will never say that he will die, but this Yang Dujian in front of him is a strange person who can be met but not sought. ” As soon as the morning dawned, the soldiers urged everyone to get up, and after breakfast, they set off on the road, and the daily march was boring and lackluster, and even the soldiers were numb.
Both before and after, is the vast wilderness, the soil here is like sand, there are no tall trees, only some dwarf shrubs that grow close to the ground, along the way, occasionally see a few wild antelopes grazing in the mountains, also also alarmed by this large group of people and horses, running away without knowing where to go.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, and when the sun rises at three poles, everyone sweats like rain, and even the soldiers on their horses can't stand it anymore.
Yang Hao and Cheng Dexuan stood side by side on the side of the road, looked into the distance with their hands on the canopy, and said: "Lord Cheng, if you continue like this, you can't rush during the day, you see if you find a shady place for everyone to rest during the day, how about traveling at night?"
Cheng Dexuan said: "Tens of thousands of horses, I am afraid that I can't take care of them at night, especially women, the elderly and children, and some people suffer from eye diseases, and they can't see things at night, it's easy to say, if you really want to march at night, a well-trained army can become, this kind of rabble" As soon as he said this, someone suddenly exclaimed, the exclamation seemed to be contagious, and quickly converged into a huge wave, Cheng Dexuan drew his sword out of the sheath with a brush, looked around and shouted: "What happened?"
A soldier pointed to the sky and shouted in surprise: "My lord, look, look, in the sky, it's our people." ” "What" Cheng Dexuan looked up, only to see a fluctuation in the white sky, and a somewhat blurry picture gradually became clear, the picture was moving, huge, and overwhelming.
Occupying one-third of the picture is a mountain beam, from which you can see countless warriors of the Song army and the Khitan tribe fighting selflessly.
The scene was too vivid, like a big battle happening in front of their eyes, cruel and tragic, but there was no sound at all, so it was even more weird.
"Mirage" Yang Hao exclaimed, Cheng Dexuan was also a little stunned, and when he heard him shout, he couldn't help but secretly scream "ashamed".
He had seen the mirage in the ancient books, but this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, so he was a little distracted when he saw it, and he said what kind of monster was doing it, but fortunately he didn't say anything, otherwise he would have been lonely and unheard.
However, most of those soldiers, especially those people, did not know what the mirage was, and some of the people exclaimed, "Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Generals", so they prostrated on the ground and kowtowed, and many soldiers also panicked, pointing to the sky and shouting: "Why do our men and horses still have Khitan dogs in the sky, what happened?"
Cheng Dexuan frowned and shouted: "Calm down, shouting and shouting what a system."
But all he could stop drinking was a few people around him, a long snake-like team, screaming and shouting everywhere, where could he stop it.
Yang Hao raised his head and looked up intently, not knowing when the mirage would disappear.
On the canopy, the Khitans are gradually gaining the upper hand, the Song soldiers are retreating step by step, leaving behind countless corpses, and the picture is always looking down from the mountain beam, just like a person standing there, watching the life-and-death struggle of the two armies in the valley and on the mountainside.
Suddenly, a big flag slowly fell, the big flag is standing on the mountain beam, so as soon as this big flag enters the picture, it envelops the entire sky, the whole sky is the apricot yellow side of the Song character flag, the big flag slowly fell, I saw countless Khitan people holding scimitars like wolves rushing towards the mountain, and then a crested boot stepped heavily on the fallen flag, a figure slowly flashed, occupying the entire sky.
First of all, the slender back, and then she slowly turned around, only to see that she was wearing fish scale chain mail, eight embroidered phoenix skirts around her waist, a shiny heart protection mirror on her chest, a silver fox tail on her head, a bunch of pheasant feathers fluttering on her head, a fluttering beast on her shoulders, a half-pot carved arrow behind the back, the willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, a small cherry mouth, a little vermilion between the eyebrows, and a majestic majesty that cannot be bullied.
At this moment, because she was standing nearby, she was really stepping on the earth, and the pheasant feathers on her head reached the sky, like the great sage of the divine realm of the heavens and the earth.
Many people were so frightened that they kowtowed again and again, calling "Guanyin Niangniang is holy".
I saw that this female general's eyes like autumn water seemed to be looking at something in the distance, she smiled slightly, and with a wave of her hand, many Khitan warriors pounced on the mountain and jumped forward like wolves.
There was another wave of air ripples in the sky, and the image of the bewitching female general began to distort, and you could vaguely see the Khitan warrior formation rushing forward for a while, followed by the firelight, the sky was on fire, burning the entire sky red, and the monstrous flames swallowed everything, and the enchanting and heroic female general gradually disappeared into the firelight Cheng Dexuan let out a long breath, turned his head and said with a smile: "Yang Dujian is really insightful, I have also seen such a record in ancient times, it is said that there is a mirage in the world, which can swallow clouds and mist, transform pavilions and pavilions, characters, carriages and horses, just what you and I have seen, presumably Yang Dujian, what's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly" Yang Haotie said with a blue face: "Lord Cheng, this mirage is actually not a mirage, but the weather is hot, and the air waves are steaming in the air, just like a mirror, reflecting the scene of one place in the air and projecting it to another place to be seen. ” Cheng Dexuanqi said: "Oh, is this the reason, Yang Dujian is really knowledgeable, Cheng also said" Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed: "Yang Dujian, you mean" Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Yes, the celestial phenomena performed just now are all true, and it is happening just now." ” Cheng Dexuan's face changed drastically, and he said solemnly: "Yang Dujian, you mean that our army has been defeated" Yang Hao shook his head slightly and said, "Not necessarily, it should be said that our army has retreated." ” Cheng Dexuan was slightly stunned, and he understood what a big difference this word meant, defeat was forced by the enemy's passive retreat by force; Retreat is to complete the task of blocking and taking the initiative to transfer, how can the two be the same day.
However, how did Yang Hao know that the Song army was retreating rather than defeated He was shocked and asked: "Yang Dujian, what I just saw in the mirage, our army is obviously defeated, you say that our army is retreating rather than defeated, on what basis?"
Yang Hao said: "Just rely on the fire in the sky." ” "Fire" "Yes, where did this fire come from, and the Khitans had no reason to set it on fire, and when they had the upper hand, the fire was not conducive to their attack.
Then this fire was let by the official, and the purpose was to stop the enemy.
You see, the grain is not flammable, but it burns with such momentum, it must have been poured with oil.

If it weren't for the fact that our army had the heart to retreat, but was hastily defeated in the battle formation, where would such a devastating fire burn out?"
Cheng Dexuan was reminded by his words, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Yes, yes, what Yang Dujian said is very true."
Since our army took the initiative to retreat, I think the casualties and losses will not be large. ” Yang Hao sighed and said: "But our trip in the past few days is really unhappy, unless the Khitans refuse to chase after us, we just need to send a light horse, where are we going?"
Cheng Dexuan was stunned when he heard this, and all his joy came to naught:
