Chapter 145 The man's spirit Yang Hao's worries finally came true, they reorganized their team and continued to move east, but the next day they were caught up by a Khitan thousand-man team in Killing Bear Ridge, this thousand-man team met the fugitive of the scattered Khitan cavalry team on the road, and learned that the migrating army that Empress Xiao ordered to find was in front, and the escort soldiers were only about 3,000 people, they immediately sent someone to report the news to the back, and at the same time hurried to the horse.
The leader of the Khitan people along the way learned the lesson of Ke Lang, and did not dare to trade into the fight with the Song army's convoy, but gave full play to the characteristics of the cavalry, advancing and retreating, and the left and right, the whole team was as fast as the wind, using bows and arrows to attack the enemy from afar, and using fast horses to gallop and fight, the Song army's chariot array was useless, and the 3,000 foot soldiers could not protect the 50,000 people, and the Khitan cavalry was exhausted under the mobile tactics of the left and right.
Fortunately, there are a lot of hills and dense forests in this area, Luo Kedi led Helongcheng and Xu Haibo to fight to the death after the enemy was broken, Cheng Dexuan and Yang Hao led the people through the forest, at that time the sky was already dark, walking through the forest for a while, the sun set, the Khitan cavalry did not dare to chase in the forest, so they were able to get rid of the pursuers.
After Luo Kedi and others completed the task of blocking the enemy, they also caught up, and at this time, there were only more than 2,300 soldiers left in the Song army, and many of them were injured.
On the morning of the third day, this migratory army finally walked out of the forest, Cheng Dexuan walked out of the forest, stood under the tree and breathed a long sigh of relief, he looked up at the sky, recognized the direction and said: "The Khitan people are chasing after each other, we must speed up the eastward journey, order to go down, abandon all baggage, only have five days of rations left, and move forward at full speed." ” Yang Hao finally couldn't hold it back, he picked up the horse and stopped in front of Cheng Dexuan, and shouted: "Lord Cheng, the lower official has something to say."
Cheng Dexuan's face sank, and he shouted: "Lord Yang, Ben Qincha has already made a decision."
Yang Hao couldn't help but say angrily: "Lord Cheng, if it weren't for the disobedience of the lower officials, we really couldn't continue to go east."
Lord Cheng, take a closer look, how many soldiers and soldiers are still around us in two fierce battles, we have lost 1,200 heroic soldiers, and now the Luo army master, Commander He, Commander Xu, from the generals to the soldiers, which is not all over the body, look at these 50,000 people, those old and weak women and children, can no longer support such a rapid march, do you let those people abandon their fathers, mothers and children here to hurry?"
Yang Hao's public questioning made Cheng Dexuan a little unable to get off the stage, his face turned pale, and he shouted angrily: "Yang Dujian, you are afraid of the enemy and cowardly, and blindly obstruct it, what do you want?"
Yang Hao said loudly: "Master Cheng, now we have only 2,000 soldiers left, most of them are wounded, and they have been marching and fighting repeatedly, and it is difficult for the tired army to fight.
These tens of thousands of people are too slow to move, so if we go south, even if the Khitans discover our intentions and rely on this continuous mountain range, their cavalry will not be able to exert so much power, and we have hope of getting out.
But if we continue to go east, we will go further on, and it will be the wilderness plain of Yicheng Pingchuan, when the enemy army will chase us, and we will not be able to escape, we will not be able to fight, and we will not even be able to borrow the advantage, and these 3,000 soldiers and 50,000 people will not be buried in this wasteland because of you and me, and become a pile of bones?"
Luo Ke's arm was wrapped in blood-stained bandages, and several generals such as Xu Haibo and He Longcheng also had their own injuries, and they stopped and looked coldly at these two main and deputy angels, these two figures who decided the fate of tens of thousands of living beings.
Cheng Dexuan was furious and shouted: "Yang Hao, you have been alarmist five times and three times, what do you mean by making such amazing words."
You say" Yang Hao was not afraid, and said proudly: "Yang Hao's heart can show the sun and the moon, what can he have unsightly intentions?"
Cheng Dexuan sneered and said harshly: "Yang Hao, you are a small people in the countryside, don't forget, it was the official family Chrysostom that promoted you to be the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission and the governor of Xixiang, and the official family is kind, so we can't forget the duty of the courtier."
You just want to send these tens of thousands of people to the southwest, do you dare to say that you really have no selfish intentions?"
Yang Hao listened to his heart-wrenching words, and couldn't help but change color, several members had fought the enemy side by side, and joined hands to bathe in blood, but the generals who belonged to the imperial court and the Zhe clan heard him pick up the lid, and the generals of the Zhe family led by Helongcheng couldn't help but secretly think: "Could it be that General Cheng really intends to send these 50,000 people to the southwest" The general of the forbidden army led by Luo Kedi saw that their expressions were a little unnatural, and they couldn't help but be suspicious for a while, and the atmosphere immediately became weird.
Yang Hao laughed angrily, pointed at Cheng Dexuan with a horsewhip, and scolded: "If it is something else, I can bear you, but I just see you bring tens of thousands of lives to a desperate situation, and I, Yang Hao, can no longer bear it."
You husband is stubborn and self-serving, and when we are in a desperate situation and have no way to help, you have a few lives to pay for these 50,000 people. ” Cheng Dexuan was annoyed and ashamed, his eyebrows were upside down, and he shouted: "Yang Hao, you are so bold, you have your own selfishness, and if you don't do what you want, you will rush into the official, and when you return to the Song Realm, the official will definitely join you in front of the official."
Now, hum, I am the envoy of the Qincha, my words are the words of the saints, who dares to stand up and speak in disobedience" He narrowed his eyes, and the faces of the generals swept over one by one, and all the generals involuntarily lowered their heads, Cheng Dexuan sneered proudly, and shouted: "Continue to go east, all the consequences will be borne by your own officials."
Walking" Under his order, the huge flow of people slowly went eastward, Yang Hao was so angry that his forehead was bruised, he stood there, seeing that the people were driven by cattle and sheep to walk past him, but he was lowly and low, and he couldn't resist carrying out the emperor's envoy, and he was helpless, and suddenly someone exclaimed: "Look, look, there is another group of people and horses coming in the distance." ” "Oh my God, they came from the front, and they went around ahead of us."
"Da Mao, Er Mao, wow, wow, drill the woods."
"Don't run around, whoever dares to move will be killed."
"Lady, don't be afraid, my husband is going out, I'll come out right away" At the moment of chaos, a military academy standing in front of the horse shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic, it's our Great Song army." ” "What" Cheng Dexuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly rode his horse over, shouting: "It's our Great Song Dynasty's soldiers and horses, it's really our Great Song Dynasty's soldiers and horses."
The little colonel pointed to the distance and said, "Look, my lord, that team of people and horses are dressed and flags, isn't it our Great Song Forbidden Army?"
Cheng Dexuan looked fixedly, and saw a little flame like a little red tassel on the Fan Yang hat on the head of the team, and the hanging heart suddenly let go, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahaha, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court have come from the front to meet us, this time we are finally safe, hahahaha, hurry up, hurry up and follow Ben Qin to meet each other, and see which soldiers and horses are coming." ” Cheng Dexuan was overjoyed, and rode his horse and whipped to meet the team.
Just galloped out of a hundred steps, and a horse behind quickly caught up, and immediately the knight grabbed the reins of his horse, and shouted in a deep voice: "Master Cheng, don't be reckless, this team of people and horses is strange." ” Cheng Dexuan was stunned for a moment, turned his head and saw that it was Luo Kedi, and he couldn't help but sink his face and shouted: "General Luo, you are also bewitched by that Yang Hao, what is so strange about the people and horses coming from the front?"
Luo Kedi's face was solemn, he didn't answer, he only raised his spear, and shouted: "Bu Sancai rushed into the yoke formation, and he was on strict guard. ” The officers and men of the Song army immediately ran forward, stopped in front of the people, and hurriedly set up an X-shaped formation, which was suitable for mountain defense, and could be transferred at any time, so that the center of gravity of defense could be shifted from the front to the left or right flank.
At the same time, the archers in front, pikemen, shieldmen, sword and axe men in the back, and the cavalry in the third row were also arranged for purely defensive purposes.
A hurried formation has not yet been arranged, the cavalry of the Song army has already rushed to the front, as soon as the Song army at the foot of the mountain is actually lined up to meet each other, the big man who galloped first laughed a few times, picked up the bow in his hand, and did not answer, and an arrow flew in front of him, shooting Cheng Dexuan, who was dressed in civilian official attire and standing in front of the formation.
He expected that this shot would be able to pick up the arrow away, but he didn't want the Song army general who came in a hurry, dressed in command attire, made a four-stone force Zhemu hard bow, the spear and arrow intersected, Luo Ke's arm was already injured, and was cracked by this shock wound, the arm was soft, the tip of the gun was deflected, and the sharp arrow was also slightly off, and flew over Cheng Dexuan's scalp with a "whoosh", not only shot his official hat away, but even his hair bun was messed up, which shocked Cheng Dexuan.
Ouch", the horse was turned away.
Rokedi shouted, "Protect Lord Chincha."
The "commander" saw him block his own arrow, and his expression was also surprised, he drew the arrow with his backhand, and the "Peng Pengpeng" shot three arrows in a row at the chest of the Luo Ke enemy, all of which were blocked by the Luo Ke enemy envoy, seeing that the Luo Ke enemy rushed close, the man took up the big bow, took off a big gun from the victory hook with a cat waist, and pounced on the Luo Ke enemy viciously, and the Luo Ke enemy found that this "Song Army Commander" was actually a big man with a squinting eye, and one eye was blind.
It turned out that this "commander of the Song army" was Yan Jiu's younger brother Lu Shengsheng, the Northern Emperor Yelu Xian suffered from internal disputes, and could not solve them by force, nor could he order the ministries, so the queen Xiao Sui offered a plan, recruited the Northern Da Kolu who had already had business dealings with the Xiao family, secretly appointed him to the official position of a general of the Southern Courtyard, and gave him countless gold, silver and jewelry, so that he pretended to be the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, attacked and killed the Khitan tribe, aroused the anger of the Khitan tribes, and then asked the king of the Southern Courtyard Yelu Wuzhi, the chief of soldiers and horses Yelu Tartlie and the new Great Tiyin Yelu Huge to mediate, finally made the Khitan tribes give up the battle for the throne and unanimously agreed to go to the aid of Han.
Lu Shengsheng completed his secret mission, and was about to burn the Song army's clothing and banner, when he suddenly received a secret order, ordering him to immediately send troops south to intercept the Northern Han people who moved east.
Lu Shengsheng had an idea, turned out the clothing banner of the Song army and put it on again, but the last time he put on this clothes, it was the people of the north who harmed, but this time it was the Han people in the Central Plains who had to deal with it.
But they put on the uniforms of the Song army can deceive the people of the north, but they can't deceive the Luo Ke enemy who was born in the forbidden army, the horse thief attaches importance to personal bravery, and the army attaches importance to group cooperation, and the most taboo is independent.
Therefore, in the daily training and marching charge, there are rules on how to arrange the queue, and a layman like Lu Shengsheng has not yet come to the front, and a flaw is revealed from the queue.
Moreover, their scattered formation exuded a faint murderous aura, which was like a welcoming man, Luo Ke's enemy was thoughtful and immediately wary.
Lu Shengsheng was also alert, and when he saw that his hiding was revealed, he no longer tried to impersonate, and immediately launched a full-scale charge while the Song army's position had not yet begun.
Although many Song troops obeyed the orders of the enemy to set up a defensive formation, but firstly, the speed was not so fast, and secondly, seeing that the galloping troops were obviously playing the banner of the Song army, they inevitably hesitated in their hearts.
Most of the soldiers of the Song army were painted on their bodies, and they were tired of fighting hard and running to the veterans, and how to be an opponent when the formation was disrupted, this was really a mess of punching the master to death, and by mistake, this dignified and regular division was killed by these fierce horse thieves.
Lu Shengsheng originally had more than 1,000 men under his command, all of whom were horse thieves who roamed in the north and robbed the house of the Song Realm, and this time he infiltrated the north to attack and kill various nomadic tribes, and succeeded again and again under Ye Luxian's intention to release the water, and became famous for a while, so many small groups of horse bandits on the grassland rushed to defect, and in more than two months, he brought together more than 3,000 bandits.

The Song army was caught off guard, and as soon as the formation was disrupted, even the command and dispatch were ineffective, so they had to fight and go, retreating south along the jungle valley, until they arrived at Fuyun Valley at noon, and then relied on the favorable terrain of the valley mouth to gain a firm foothold, so that the people left their carts, horses, donkeys and mules to enter the valley as soon as possible, and the Song army fought hard with horse thieves at the valley mouth.
After the blood of the officers and soldiers was broken, Cheng Dexuan stood on a high place, and saw that more than 4,000 people who had not had time to enter the valley had been intercepted outside the valley by this surprise attack of the "Song army", and more than 2,000 brave and warlike soldiers under his command had now been broken in half, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
He shouted, pulled out his long sword and rushed into the enemy formation, Cheng Dexuan's swordsmanship is good, what he lacks is only courage and experience, this time under the grief and anger, the swordsmanship is also sharp, a few bandits were stabbed by him, Cheng Dexuan hated it in his heart, even if he cut off the opponent's hands and feet so that his blade could not fight again, he was bound to make up for another sword to take his life.
Looking at his cloaked appearance, it was shocking to see.
Luo Kedi was afraid that Qin Cha was wrong, so he had to stay on his side, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Yang Hao, the deputy Qin Mission, also personally killed the enemy with a knife, and Luo Ke was in a hurry, and hurriedly assigned a few personal soldiers to guard Yang Hao's side.
Yang Hao is not as good as those horse bandits who live a life of licking blood from the knife every day, but no matter where he kills, he is always accompanied by a few personal soldiers, some with spears, some with short knife skin shields, and some with crossbows to greet the flanks for him, but he really killed several bandits, and he was unharmed.
There were no more carriages and horses in the valley, and the carts were all abandoned outside the valley, and the burly old man also got out of the carriage at this time, and was helped by Mu En to hurry through the valley.
Suddenly, a stray arrow flew in, and Mu En, who had been paying attention to the movement behind him, was unable to rescue with his bare hands, so he shouted and stretched out his arm to block the back of his neck for him.
The wolf's tooth arrow, which could penetrate heavy armor within a hundred steps, pierced his arm with a "poof", and cut a hole in the back of the old man's neck, and the old man frowned, but there was no panicked look.
But Na Mu En was annoyed, and he yelled, "Protect the Lord," and turned around and ran towards the valley mouth.
Suddenly, two big men jumped out of the crowd and helped the old man under the tree, and at the same time, more than ten big men jumped out of the crowd and ran towards the valley after Mu En.
The old man called, Mu En was tall and long-legged, flexible hands and feet, shuttled through the crowd, had run more than ten zhang away, where could he still hear his call, the old man had to smile bitterly and shook his head, sat down and let the two big men bandage his wounds.
Mu En rushed to the mouth of the valley, stretched out his hand, and broke the extremely tough arrow shaft in two with a "click", he pulled out the sharp arrow, tore open the chest robe with a brush, and showed a dark bush of chest hair, and roared in the sky, and then rushed into the enemy line like a fly.
A horse thief had just rushed up with a single sword, when he saw a huge "baboon" suddenly flashed in front of him, and the horse thief was stunned for a moment, only to see that the baboon had angry eyes, his lips were open, and then a big fist struck him in the chest.
"Poof", because the force was too great, the iron fist actually broke his sternum and sank deep into his chest, because the speed of the punch was too fast, all the power was borne by the body of the horse thief, this fierce punch hit him did not knock him out, he was still standing there dignified, people who did not know saw it, and thought that this bare-chested man was a silver-like wax gun head, and that punch was useless.
"Uh-uh" The horse thief's eyes widened, his body twitched a few times, a large pool of dirty blood gushed down the corner of his mouth, Mu En had already turned around and left, picked up the bow from the dead Song army, grabbed it with his big hand, and pulled out a feather arrow from the quiver and thrust it into the ground, and then stood there like a stone daring, with an arrow feather, pulled up three arrows to put on the string together, one buckle three arrows, gently pulled the bowstring, and suddenly hugged the full moon, only let go, three sharp arrows shot out, Shoot the three bandits who rushed to the valley side by side and fall to the back.
The more than ten big men rushed to the mouth of the valley, and they were like Mu En, everyone picked up the bow and arrow in their hands, and suddenly the arrow feathers were in the air, the wind sounded, and the bowstring moved, and someone fell down in response, which was like divine help.
The stalemate between the two sides of Taniguchi turned into an archery performance of more than ten big men for a while, either a series of arrows or three arrows in one hand, which was dazzling.
These people not only have no missing arrows, but also the rate of fire is extremely fast, ordinary soldiers shoot an arrow, they can shoot at least five or six arrows, there are more than ten such big men guarding the valley mouth, no less than seventy or eighty Song army marksmen joined forces to block the enemy, and the horse thieves who rushed to the valley mouth screamed again and again, and fell to the ground and died.
Lu Shengsheng couldn't help but be taken aback when he saw the prestige of the Song army in Taniguchi, and hurriedly stopped the attack, only to order his subordinates to shoot with bows.
At this time, the people of the valley were hurrying forward, and the two sides were shooting at each other, and many stray arrows were shot into the crowd and hurting people, and the ears were constantly hearing people screaming, but these people did not even have the time to look at them, they only stared at their feet and hurried forward, only knowing that the farther they go, the greater the hope of life.
The dog was held in the arms of the Taoist grandfather, and her mother opened the way in front of her, and she also struggled to move forward in the crowd.
The sun in the valley sometimes sprinkled on her body, sometimes blocked by the mountain peaks and trees, and whenever she walked into the sun, the old man put his big sleeves on her head.
The dog lay on Lao Dao's shoulder and looked into the distance, looking for Yang Hao, but in such a chaotic situation, how could she see Yang Hao's figure.
Suddenly, two arrows from the horse thief who was shooting at the Song army shot into the air, drawing two arcs in the air and shooting towards the back of the Taoist priest's heart.
The dog who was looking for Yang Hao's figure was shocked for a while, she suddenly stretched out a hand, pointing at the two wolf tooth arrows that shot down, and wanted to open her mouth to warn, but because of excessive fright, she lost her voice, just pointed with her little finger, and showed a frightened look on her face.
The two arrows flashed immediately, faster than the electric flint, and the dog was so frightened that he almost closed his eyes, and at this moment, he saw that the old Taoist did not look back, but only threw the big sleeve upside down and rolled it up, fluttering like a strong wind and clouds, and the big sleeve was raised, and the two feather arrows disappeared out of thin air.
When the dog saw this spectacle, his eyes widened, and he was speechless.
Lao Dao shook his sleeves, and two wolf tooth arrows quietly slid to the ground from the bottom of his sleeves, and the dog ate and said: "Grandpa Taoist, are you a fairy?"
Lao Dao smiled and said: "Silly boy, have you ever seen such a shabby and embarrassed immortal as Lao Dao?"
"I haven't seen any kind of fairy in the dog, but if you are not a fairy, how can you roll up the arrow with your sleeves Grandpa Daoist, you have such a good ability, why don't you save everyone" "You little baby, no one takes you seriously, you know how to pity others."
Lao Dao said and glanced back, and sighed: "Tang, Liang, Jin, Han, Zhou, and now the Song Dynasty, Huangchao kills, Wang Xianzhi kills, Zhu Wen kills, Shatuo people kill, alas, the killing and killing of Lao Dao has been seen for decades, and he has long been tired of it."
This is the business of the emperor, not the business of me, a cultivator.
People outside the party, what they are seeking is the way of heaven, the bitterness and happiness of the world, how much can I manage?"
"What the Taoist grandfather said, the dog doesn't understand."
Lao Dao smiled and said: "Grandpa Daoist is saying, Lao Dao is not a fairy, my body and bones, I can't save those many people, just now I use this spell, I can only use it three times a day, what do you say I can do little doll, you must not tell it to others, it will not work if you say it."
You see those robbers are so fierce, once I don't have this spell to protect me, then wouldn't I have been killed by you At that time, the old Tao will definitely blame you for hurting me, and I will come to you every night, floating in the air, staring at you, are you afraid?"
The dog shook his hands in horror: "Grandpa Taoist, don't scare the dog, the dog is timid, I just don't tell others, don't say it to anyone." ” The old Taoist smiled, the dog looked at him timidly, and said, "Grandpa Daoist, can you teach this spell to the dog?"
"Well, what do you little girl learn from it?"
"If I learn it, I can protect the people I like."
"Oh, who are you going to protect?"
The dog counted earnestly on his fingers: "I want to protect my mother, because my mother gave birth to me and raised me."
I want to protect Uncle Yang Hao, because Uncle Yang Hao is the best for me, he doesn't let the wicked bully my mother, and gives me meat to eat.
I also have to protect Grandpa Liu, because when the people in the village were captured by those soldiers, he was the only one who would let me ride in his car."
Lao Dao cocked his beard and pretended to be angry: "Why, you learned the skills of Lao Dao, but you didn't come to protect Lao Dao?"

The dog's eyes widened, and he said strangely: "You know how to spell yourself, do you want others to protect you?"
Fuyaozi laughed: "Makes sense, haha, it turns out that you are not stupid."
He smiled and touched the dog's hair, if someone who was not very close to touch the top of her head, it would have been the most disgusting thing, but when this old man stroked the top of her head, the dog felt a warm feeling coming from that hand, which made her lazy and unable to lift up.
"Grandpa Taoist, have you promised to teach me?"
"Oh, this one, Taoist grandpa should think about it."
The dog rolled his eyes and promised, "If you teach the dog a spell, then when you go to bed at night, the dog will not use the grass stalk to disturb you." ” "Okay, well, I'll think about it, but the old way of accepting apprentices has always only accepted well-behaved ones."
"Isn't the dog well-behaved, if you teach the dog a spell, the dog will beat your legs."
"Hahaha" "Well, I'll give you a shoulder thump."
The dog continues to seduce.
Lao Dao touched his nose and said nothing.
"Fan you in the summer, burn the stove in the winter."
"It seems to be a bit of a gossip."
"You promised" "Hey, I didn't say that" The sound of fighting like a beast in the valley kept coming, and the valley was full of refugees who were desperately fleeing for their lives, only this old and one young, in such a tense, cruel, and life at any time, were talking about things that had nothing to do with the present, probably only this born Taoist and this child who had not yet entered the world would still have such a mood in such an environment The Song army escorted the people and fought and retreated, crossed the canyon, waded through a large river about 100 meters wide, but only waist-deep, and walked through a jungle in one breath, only then did he get rid of Lu Shengsheng's men and horses and stop on a hillside.
When the danger is gone, and people realize that they are still alive, their numb nerves are awakened.
Those who have lost their loved ones sit there crying; When relatives are separated, they are looking for their family members in the crowd of people who are sitting or standing, falling or lying down, crying as they walk; Many of the wounded people groaned in pain.
The surviving Song soldiers guarded the periphery, they silently bandaged the wounds of their comrades, took off their scarred armor, and forced their extremely tired bodies to find some branches and weeds to make a fire to make food, the red fire reflected their faces, and their faces were blank.
These warriors, who are far stronger than ordinary people, do not know how many enemies they will face tomorrow, and I don't know if they will return to their homeland alive.
Depressed, there is a depressing atmosphere everywhere, and the depression makes people breathless.
Yang Hao walked among them with heavy steps, he didn't even dare to look at them more, he felt that he was the executioner, if it wasn't for his idea, these people would not have abandoned their homes and businesses and ended up like this, if it weren't for his idea, these soldiers would not have died here in a few bad battles in a daze.
In the woods, a simple tent that had just been built with grass and trees, Cheng Dexuan sat on the soft grass pile and was stunned: "It's so dangerous, I didn't expect the Khitans to pretend to be the Song army to intercept it, and it was a shame that Luo Kedi saw the flaw, otherwise" Thinking of Lu Shiyi's fierce arrow, Cheng Dexuan touched his forehead with palpitations, and a bloody mark was drawn on his forehead, which was cut when the three-edged arrow cluster flew up against the scalp, and it was still a little painful to touch at this time.
"What should I do now, it seems that Yang Hao is right, the Khitans really began to send people across the border to intercept them.
In the past two days, we have passed through some mountainous and hilly areas, relying on the geographical advantages, every time there can be no danger, but go further until Minggu County, which is a plain plain of Pingchuan, if it is trampled by the Khitans, can it be as lucky as now Cheng Dexuan's heart was in turmoil, and he was secretly thinking about it, when a guard walked in with a bowl of water: "Master Cheng, let's drink saliva first, the meal will be ready in a while." ” Cheng Dexuan felt thirsty and hungry at this time, he quickly stood up, tidied up his appearance a little, and then took the water bowl.
The pro-soldier quietly retreated again, Cheng Dexuan felt a trace of indifference from the pro-soldier, but he could only smile helplessly, official authority and power are not effective at all times, and now in this situation, he can only pretend not to see some silent protests against these big-headed soldiers.
He took a sip of hot water to moisten his throat, and was thinking about tomorrow's action, when he heard a few sounds of "bang", and when he looked up, he saw Yang Hao standing at the mouth of the tent with a cold face, and he knocked the pine pillar at the mouth of the tent a few times with his scabbard.
Yang Hao strode into the tent, forced his eyes at Cheng Dexuan, and said: "Lord Qincha, when we left Chimayuan, what His Majesty the Emperor handed over to us were 3,500 warriors who were alive and well, and 50,000 healthy and sound people.
Now we have less than a thousand people, almost all of them are wounded, 50,000 people have been robbed of 4,000, and many wives have been separated and are crying on the ground outside.
I have the courage to ask Lord Qincha to put the lives of the soldiers and the people first, face up to our current situation, and immediately change the course of travel. ” Cheng Dexuan's face turned cold, and he shouted: "Yang Hao, if you don't give up, let me ask you, if we change our route to the south now and turn west, you can guarantee that the Khitan people will never chase after you."
Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "No, but the current situation is already obvious, our whereabouts have been firmly watched by the Khitans, and further east, there is a horse Pingchuan with a width of three hundred miles, which is the best hunting ground for the Khitans to hunt for human life."
How do you say we should choose?"
Cheng Dexuan is the envoy of the Qincha, and at the same time he is also a person of Zhao Guangyi of Nanya, he does not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, if it is not necessary, Yang Hao does not want to conflict with him at all, but at the moment, a decision from Cheng Dexuan will decide the life and death of tens of thousands of people, and will determine whether the lives of three thousand tiger warriors are sacrificed in vain, Yang Hao has already sat idly by.
At this point, they will not be able to bring the people to the Song realm safely, and at this point, the Khitans also have no spare strength to send the people back to the Northern Han Dynasty, they still sent men and horses to intercept them, obviously with the idea of burning the jade, and would rather kill these 50,000 people than let the Great Song Dynasty take them away.
The murderous reputation of the Khitan people has long been publicized in the world, and they are not afraid of being stained with blood again, but once these 50,000 people die in vain, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty will be infamous on his back, can't Cheng Dexuan see it Cheng Dexuan changed color and said sharply: "What a joke, we are now less than three hundred miles away from Minggu, we took 50,000 people, went through a lot of hardships, and paid the lives of thousands of soldiers to get here, you actually told the official that we should turn around and go south now, and go down this Fuyun Mountain, the further south we go, the higher the mountains, the wider the mountains, and tens of thousands of people can't climb the mountains at all, so we can only turn around and go west."
It's ridiculous, we have made such a great sacrifice to get here, you told me that we should turn around and go back now, our carriages and horses are gone, there is not much food left, turn around and go back, so how many of us will walk back alive" Yang Hao looked at him sadly and shook his head heavily: "I don't know, I only know that this step is caused by your Lord Cheng's insistence, and you still came to question me, I know that I have only turned south and turned west, and I have lost the best opportunity, and we 50,000 people, it is likely that even half of them will not survive, but if we continue to go east, we will die and die."
Turn around and go south, nine deaths and life.
Do we have any other choice?"
Outside the tent, I don't know when, those wounded soldiers, Du Tou, Yu Hou, and commanders all quietly gathered around, forming a huge black oppressive circle outside the camp tent, and all the people did not speak, but just listened with bated breath to the fierce quarrel between the two lords in the tent.
In the tent, Cheng Dexuan's face turned red, and he said angrily: "You can't be on the left, and you don't know on the right, do you want this official to take the soldiers and the people to the south, west, you only know the south and west, do you know where we are closest to the east, east, and then two hundred miles to the east, we will be safe, at this time it is stupid and stupid to turn south Yang Hao, don't think that this official doesn't know what you are thinking."
You are Cheng Shixiong's person, and Cheng Shixiong is a subordinate of the Zhe family, the northwest and southwest are vast and sparsely populated, and with the addition of fifty percent of the population, you can't ask for it.
You blindly want to lead them to the west, it is from Cheng Shixiong's instructions, is it you, you are simply the one who broke the family" Yang Hao was also annoyed, blushing and roaring: "It doesn't matter who Lao Tzu is, the most important thing at the moment is that these 50,000 ordinary people are dragged from the kang in their doors one by one by us with both soft and hard measures, what we promise is to give them a better life than in the Northern Han Dynasty, instead of letting them go to death for nothing These 3,500 soldiers, since they eat soldier food and get soldiers' salaries, it is natural for them to die on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud, but it is worth dying, there are a thousand soldiers outside, there are forbidden armies, there are border troops, I Yang Hao doesn't care if they eat the grain of the Zhao family or take the salary of the folded family, I only know that we have fought side by side, we have joined forces to kill the enemy, we are robes, we are brothers, there is a way to live, we must not lead our brothers to death."
Outside the tent, even the soldiers who had their hands and feet cut off and shot through the chest did not cry, but at this moment, many people quietly raised their hands to wipe their tears.
"Bastard, bold" Cheng Dexuan was annoyed and ashamed, and shouted angrily: "Don't bewitch the public.
I am the Qincha, my will, is the will of the official family under the whole world, it is not the king's land, the shore of the land, it is not the king's ministers, disobeying the order of the Qincha is disobeying the holy oracle, it is a great rebellion, and the nine sins should be destroyed."
Yang Hao was furious, and all his scruples were thrown out of the clouds for a while, he joined the army in the northwest, originally in order to find an official position to repay the grievances of Bazhou, but after so many days, seeing the soldiers fighting bloodily, he unconsciously had an extra responsibility on his shoulders, he couldn't be sorry for the sacrifice of so many robes, and he couldn't let them die in vain.
Yang Hao's blood surged up, and he shouted: "You don't use the holy decree to press me, when the situation is not good, you can choose the second route to turn south to west, cross the Yellow River and move to Yan'an Mansion, to ensure the safety of the people, this is what the official family said, I, Yang Hao, will not follow you to the road of no return."
"This official is a messenger, how can you let you talk nonsense, even if this official leads you to hell, you have to follow me without hesitation" "I don't go to hell, whoever loves will go down."

"You are presumptuous" "You fart."
"Hello Bold" "Hey, let you speak, people die and birds are in the sky, and they don't die for another year, I'm afraid of what you're doing.
Yang gave up this body, and the emperor Lao Tzu dared to pull off the horse, and he was afraid of you."
"You" "The Tao is not the same, from then on you and I have parted ways, each going our own way" Yang Hao said and turned around and went out of the account, so angry that Cheng Dexuan opened his mouth.
When he got outside, Yang Hao saw that the darkness under the moonlight was overwhelming a crowd, and they were all quietly gathered around the camp.
Yang Hao stood still and looked at them with some shame, the soldiers, military academies, messengers, commanders, commanders, all the soldiers, were looking at him, and these soldiers all raised their hands and hugged their fists at him.
Yang Hao was stunned, his eyes moistened.
He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word, he slowly raised his hands, his left hand was like a moon, his right hand was like a sun, his fists were intertwined, and he also hugged his fist to the soldiers.
The day of the right hand, the moon of the left hand, the man is down, and he is enthusiastic.
In the tent, Cheng Dexuan sat down dejectedly, he didn't understand what Yang Hao was worried about, but he could only continue to walk hard with the psychology of a gambler.
At this time, I agreed with Yang Hao's opinion and led these tens of thousands of people to turn south, what does that mean then it proves that what he has been insisting on is all wrong, then when all the dust settles and his merits are rewarded, he has nothing to do, but what he is waiting for will be the impeachment of the imperial envoys.
At that time, he was responsible for the more than 2,000 soldiers who died, he was responsible for the more than 4,000 people who fell into the hands of thieves and were ravaged, and he was responsible for all the people who died in vain along the way If, on the remaining two hundred miles of road, on the great plain of Pingchuan, there is no Khitan iron cavalry to appear, allowing him to successfully move these people into the Song realm, then he, the envoy of the Qincha, is the first person to migrate the people of the Northern Han Dynasty this time, he will make great contributions, and the great future of the sky is at his fingertips, and even his name will be left in the annals of Danqing.
Isn't it worth the effort?
Even if he fails, as long as he never tries another way, then no one will ever be able to prove that the second way will work, so even if he dies on the journey back to the Song Dynasty, he can still leave a name for sacrificing his life for the country and being fierce.
Therefore, he has no choice, no matter whether the path he took is wrong or not, he can only continue to walk now, tie everyone up with him and go down, if he is wrong, he can only be wrong to the end, and he can't turn back.
The plan has been decided, Cheng Dexuan gritted his teeth and slowly raised his head, the torches in the tent were burning, and the firelight reflected his somewhat crazy eyes, faintly glowing with blood-red light.
"Crackling", the pine resin burned and made a slight sound, listening to Cheng Dexuan's ears, but it seemed to hear the sound of swords and guns fighting, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching In a corner of the jungle, there was another large tent, and a torch was burning in the tent.
On the ground, there was also a small fire, over which a stand was built out of heavy wood, and a hook was hung from wire.
Luo Kedi sat cross-legged on the thick straw mat that he had cut off to be used as a mattress, and looked at Yang Hao, who was kneeling opposite, with a pair of scrutinizing eyes.
Luo Kedi had already taken off his armor, he was naked, the bandage of Liang Blood wrapped his chest diagonally, it seemed that he was seriously injured, but his complexion was not bad, he lifted a jar full of water with one hand to pour water for Yang Hao, and that hand did not tremble at all, until a bowl of water was full, he put the water altar back on the stand of the fire.
"Lord Yang, this place is simple, there is no hospitality, the last general will replace tea with water, Lord Yang, please."
Yang Hao didn't touch the bowl of water on the ground, he pressed his hands to his knees, and said in a deep voice: "Master Luo, you are from the army, and you should know better than me about the current crisis."
Under the series of bloody battles, most of our men and horses have been lost, exhausted, and they are no longer able to fight.
And those people, discarded a large number of cars, injured a lot of mules and horses, although this place is only more than 200 miles away from Minggu County, but with our current situation, we will have to wipe out the whole army if we can't hold the place at all, and then go forward is a dead end, we must immediately make a decision, immediately change the route of travel, go south, turn west, it is possible to save tens of thousands of lives. ” Luo Kedi's eyes drooped slightly, looked at the bowl of water that was a little rippling, and said slowly: "Lord Yang, you should discuss this matter with Lord Cheng." ” Yang Hao said in a deep voice: "Cheng Dexuan is a smart person, but the smarter a person, once he gets into the tip of the horns, the more he will insist on his own opinions, become stubborn and self-serving, and even more stupid than a pig."
He still insists on going east, and if he does so, he will drag everyone into the netherworld.
Lord Luo, here, you are the supreme commander of the army, and I hope you can stop him with me. ” Luo Kedi smiled, shook his head lightly, and said, "Lord Yang, he is a Qincha, how can you stop the general?"
"The general will not be affected by the order of the monarch outside, I hope that the army lord Luo can cooperate with me to turn south."
Luo Kedi sighed and said in embarrassment: "Lord Yang, although it is said that the general will not grant the order of the monarch outside, but now that the envoy of the official family is in the army, he represents the order of the king, and it is not self-deception to refuse to carry out the king's order on the grounds that the general will not accept the order of the monarch outside."
When the last general came to command the troops, he received an order that everything should be obeyed by Lord Cheng's orders, and the military order was as heavy as a mountain, Lord Yang, and if the military order came, even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of me, I could only rush up.
In the same way, even if it is a wrong order, I must obey it. ” Yang Hao was disappointed, he smiled bitterly and said, "That's it, what you are obsessed with may seem a little ridiculous to me.
But I know that it is precisely because of this attachment in the world that there are many honorable ones, and I do not embarrass you.
Lord Luo, along the way, thanks to Lord Luo's courage and strategy, we can barely survive to this day.
Yang is now retreating to the next best, and there is another request that he hopes that Lord Luo can agree. ” "Lord Yang, please speak."
"Early tomorrow morning, I will lead the people of my headquarters to the south, if the people are willing to follow, please don't stop the general, they are still alive, it is also the general's merit and many soldiers paid the price of blood and life in exchange, I believe the general does not want them to die unjustly.
Yang said everything he said and said goodbye. ” Yang Hao got up, arched his hand to him, turned around and left.
Luo Kedi sat there cross-legged, looking at him quietly, Yang Hao had just walked to the door of the tent, and Luo Kedi suddenly said: "There was a bloody battle today, and the last general was injured." ” Yang Hao stopped, turned around, raised his eyebrows slightly, and was a little surprised by the topic he raised.
Luo Kedi continued: "The last general is seriously injured, maybe he will be unconscious tomorrow morning. ” "Hmm" Yang Hao's eyes flashed slightly.
Luo Kedi's eyes drooped, and he said lightly: "After a while, the end will issue a military order to all the soldiers: the journey back to the Song Dynasty is full of dangers, if the general has an accident or cannot control the whole army, General Helongcheng will temporarily take the position of this general, and all the soldiers will be dispatched and ordered by General Helongcheng." ” Commander Helong Chenghe is Cheng Shixiong's person, that is to say Thinking of this, Yang Hao was surprised and delighted, and when he looked at the young general in front of him again, he actually felt a sense of awe, and he happily said, "Thank you, General Luo." ” Luo Kedi smiled lightly, and the cloud was light: "Lord Yang take care":
