Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 228 The life I long for!
Su Yun temporarily lived in this small fortress, and then went to see the garrison inside the fortress every day. Training was not held every day, but the training here was different from that in Suide City.

The training here is mainly about defending the fort. What surprised Su Yun is that compared with the previous training, these soldiers' training in defending the fort is much better.

Well, I think it’s because of actual combat.

They probably never fought a field battle with the Xixia soldiers, but they did have experience in defending a fortress.

I see. As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties.

The current Song army is an expert in defense. They are really not good at attacking, but when it comes to relying on fortresses for defense, there may be no one in the world who is better than them.

It seems to be true. Every time the Song army was defeated, they were basically routed in field battles, and the number of times they were defeated in fortresses was very few.

While Su Yun was observing the fortress with great interest, Qi Ying was not idle. He personally led people to clean up the battlefield, harvested the heads of nearly a hundred Xixia cavalrymen, collected nearly seventy or eighty horses, and then personally sent them back to Suide City.

He was not trying to take credit for himself, but to take credit for Su Yun.

Although Su Yun survived, for Qi Ying and others, the matter was not over yet, but had just begun.

Because next they will inevitably face a question from Su Yun: You sent me out of the fortress, and I happened to be ambushed... Are you going to kill me?
Of course Su Yun would not ask them so directly, nor would he even mention this issue, but Su Yun would definitely keep this matter in mind forever. When Su Yun ascends to a high position, he, Qi Ying, Zheng Nian'an, Qi Keyong, and even Zhong Yan would have to endure the revenge of this young man.

Well, this time may be a bit long, and some of them may die by then. But it doesn’t matter. It is never too late for a scholar to take revenge. He cannot avenge himself, but his family cannot escape.

Qi Ying knew how vicious scholars could be, so he didn't dare to be careless at all.

If someone is angry, then you should try your best to eliminate his anger. As for other people, just let them be.

So Qi Ying racked his brains and the first thing he came up with was to commend Su Yun.

It was actually quite risky to run outside at this time, but Qi Ying didn't care.

Qi Ying had a strong sense of crisis in his heart, which reached its peak after he saw Su Yun's extraordinary bravery.

He had some understanding of Su Yun's past identity. When everyone was discussing Su Qinxia before, he was also a participant.

He had heard more than once about Su Yun's identities as the top scholar, a master of classics, and a favorite of the emperor. With these identities, everyone knew how bright his future was.

But after seeing Su Yun's bravery on the battlefield, Qi Ying knew that all his previous assumptions were no longer applicable.

Qi Ying was well aware of how rare it was to have a civilian official who understood military affairs. Han and Fan were considered to be relatively knowledgeable about military affairs, and thus they were promoted rapidly afterwards.

Well, now both of them have passed away. One was posthumously named Zhongxian and the other was posthumously named Wenzheng. The Han and Fan families are now the most famous families in the Song Dynasty.

Hehe, Qi Ying felt uneasy because he was hated by a young man who might become a prime minister in the future.

So Qi Ying ignored the danger of going out of the fortress and personally led people to clean up the battlefield overnight, harvest heads, and personally led people to send the spoils back to Suide City.

It was just dawn when Qi Ying arrived at Suide City.

The gate of Suide City had just been opened when Qi Ying rushed in with hundreds of soldiers. The people who had woken up early saw the dusty soldiers and were immediately surprised at what had happened.

Suddenly someone shouted, "Look, those are human heads!"

Sure enough, each of the soldiers was riding a horse with a head tied around their waist. The heads were grinning and looked extremely ferocious. Many of the heads were also pierced with feather arrows, piercing the front and back of the head!
"boom!"

Suddenly the whole Suide City was in an uproar.

The people were not afraid, but cheered one by one.

Someone recognized Qi Ying and shouted, "General Qi, did you go out of the city to wipe out the Tanguts last night? That's amazing. You cut off so many heads in one night. Hahaha, congratulations to you! General Qi, after you show your merit, I will definitely treat you to a big drink!"

A scholar joined in the fun and chanted loudly: "The moon is dark and the wild geese fly high. The Chanyu escapes at night. I want to chase him with light cavalry, but the heavy snow covers my bows and swords. General Qi, congratulations!"

The whole street was full of praise.

Upon hearing this, Qi Ying stopped the troops with his hand, then took off the head of the Dangxiang from his waist, raised it high, and shouted with all his strength: "My fellow countrymen! Last night, Su Yun, the commander of the Fuyan Road army, learned that there was an invasion by Dangxiang cavalry, so he personally led a battalion of soldiers to confront the Dangxiang people head-on!

Su Yun, the military commander of Fuyan Road, held a heavy bow. Most of the Tanguts were shot in the face, and the rest were shot through the chest. Brothers, show the folks the heads with arrows in the face!"

The soldiers with heads shot in the face by arrows hanging on their waists untied their heads one by one and, with pride, faced the people with them. Some were even afraid that they couldn't see clearly, so they turned their heads left and right so that the people could see them more clearly.

Some brave people came closer to take a look, and sure enough, the arrow had penetrated the hard skull, entered from the face and exited from the back of the head.

One of the people exclaimed loudly, "I once heard that Li Guang, the Flying General during the Han Dynasty, could shoot arrows into stones. I thought it was just a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true.

The bones in this man's head are not softer than stone. Even a sword or a knife can hardly cut his skull. Su Qinxia's arrow was able to penetrate his face and exit from the back of his head. It's really amazing!"

Another commoner exclaimed loudly, "I counted, there were 31 people shot in the face, and all of them penetrated the front and back of the head. It is impossible to achieve this without a master of archery. In other words, in the battle last night, Su Qinxia killed at least 31 enemies! That's great, God bless the Song Dynasty, we have our own flying general!"

Immediately, some scholars shouted, "Bullshit! Who the hell is Li Guang? How dare he compare himself with Su Dajia! Li Guang was hard to be promoted in his life, and later he got lost in the war and committed suicide out of shame and anger. What a crap man.

You guys don’t know who Mr. Su is, but we educated people know how powerful he is! "

Someone sneered, "We know how powerful Su Qinxia is, but who are you?"

The scholar's face immediately turned red, but then he angrily said: "Let's not talk about who I am for now, but do you really know Su Qinxia?"

The people looked at each other in bewilderment. How could they know who Su Qinxia was? After all, this was Suide City, a border city with little information.

Seeing that the people were speechless, the scholar laughed triumphantly. At this time, some people were not convinced and said, "Then you tell us, let's see how powerful Su Qinxia is."

The scholar laughed loudly and said with pride: "Su Qinxia is the pride and admiration of us scholars!

Do you know who was the number one scholar in the last imperial examination? It was Su Qinxia, ​​who was Su Yunsu Juzheng, the number one scholar in the Su Yun list in the fourth year of Yuanfeng! "

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole street was in an uproar.

Someone said loudly: "Zheng Yunchuan, please tell us more about Su Qinxia. We would like to hear it."

"Yes, yes! Tell us more details. We love to hear it!"

"..."

The people in the street immediately cheered.

The adjutant quietly asked Qi Ying, "Should we go see General Qi right away?" Qi Ying narrowed his eyes and said, "Don't worry. Let the brothers ride their horses, hold the head, and circle the city for the people to see. Remember to let the brothers shout that this is Su Qinxia's military achievement!"

"what?"

The adjutant was a little stunned.

Qi Ying glared at the adjutant and said, "If you don't understand, just hold it in and get things done first!"

The adjutant hurried off to make arrangements.

Qi Ying was riding on a horse, listening to Zheng Yunchuan telling the story of Su Yun with great enthusiasm.

"…It is said that Su Lang from Jiangyou, who was pure and filial, wrote the poem Linjiangxian in Linjiang Tower on the bank of the Yangtze River in Huangzhou, which immediately attracted the attention of Zhang Qinghe, the courtesan of Jiujiang Tower, the best brothel in Jingxiang area.

Later, Zhang Qinghe saw Su Lang and was immediately overwhelmed. She prepared a big red envelope and slept with Su Lang that night... You don’t know, hundreds of girls in Jiujiang Tower lined up, prepared big red envelopes, and were waiting to sleep with Jiangyou Su Lang! ..."

Qi Ying: “…”

The adjutant came back and said, "This Zheng Yunchuan is talking nonsense. Do you want to stop him?"

Qi Ying glanced at the adjutant and asked, "How do you know this is fake?"

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then remembered Su Yun's appearance, and immediately nodded in agreement, saying: "Don't say that the girls in the brothel want to sleep with him, I..."

"Shut the fuck up, do you want to die?" Qi Ying cursed.

The adjutant quickly slapped himself hard, saying, "I am such a jerk! I am such a jerk!"

"...Hehe, why do we say that Su Qinxia's life is the life that we scholars yearn for? After Su Qinxia went to Bianjing, the best brothel in Bianjing, um, the best brothel in the world, Fanlou, you know?

There are tens of thousands of girls in Fanlou, all of them are preparing big red envelopes and are ready to sleep with Su Qinxia. I just want to ask you if you are envious or not!"

At this moment, the people below were not quite convinced. It was not that they did not believe that the girl wanted to sleep with Su Yun, but they felt that Fanlou did not have tens of thousands of girls.

Zheng Yunchuan was annoyed by the questioning and shouted, "Who cares how many sisters he has? The key is that Su Qin governs Su Lang!"

One of the people said, "I just don't believe how good-looking a person can be to make the money-loving prostitutes in the brothels prepare big red envelopes and take turns sleeping with her!"

Someone immediately agreed, "That's right! And how strong must his body be to be able to shoot such a powerful arrow after sleeping with hundreds of girls!"

Suddenly, the street burst into laughter, and the whole street was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Qi Ying: “…”

Zheng Yunchuan blushed again and said loudly: "Although I have never met Mr. Su, he looks like a Song Dynasty person!
Don’t you think about how beautiful this person has to be to be called a Song Dynasty person?
Isn't it normal for me to want to sleep with such a man? If you don't believe me, you can ask General Qi. General Qi has met Su Qinxia!"

The people looked at Qi Ying one after another, and someone boldly asked, "General Qi, is Su Qinxia really that good-looking?"

Qi Ying nodded and said loudly: "This is true! Su Qinxia is the most heroic and handsome man I have ever seen. He can be called a banished immortal. If you can't imagine him, you can just imagine him as Pan An or Song Yu."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole street was in an uproar.

Pan An and Song Yu were both famous handsome men in ancient times. How could Su Qinxia be on par with them?
How handsome that would be!

Suddenly, the people were all filled with anticipation: When can they meet this man who thousands of girls are willing to sleep with even if they are offered red envelopes?

Someone boldly shouted, "General Qi, is it true that Su Qinxia has slept with thousands of girls?"

Qi Ying's eyes widened as he shouted, "Who is it! Who is talking? Su Qinxia is the number one scholar in the Song Dynasty and also the military commander of Fuyan Road. How could he do such a ridiculous thing?"

The people all laughed.

Someone laughed and said, "Su Qinxia is a scholar, this is not a ridiculous thing, this is just the elegance of a famous scholar, there is nothing wrong with it.

According to me, this is absolutely true. Only someone with such good physical talent can use a heavy bow to penetrate the head. Don't you agree?"

Suddenly the streets were filled with laughter.

Qi Ying was stunned: That makes so much fucking sense.

Su Yun sneezed in the fortress.

Su Yun didn't know that many people would add a sentence to his biography later:
[Legend has it that when Su Yun was young, he was slept with by thousands of prostitutes for money. The author has verified this from many sources and it is probably true.

The evidence is as follows: First, Su Yun had just come out of Sichuan at that time. How could he, an orphan who lost his parents at a young age, have the money to buy a donkey cart and food?

Second, Su Yun lived a wealthy life in Huangzhou, but Su Shi could only get the salary of the deputy envoy of Huangzhou militia at that time. This was an inferior official and how much salary could he get? How could he possibly support a leisurely life?

Third, after arriving in Beijing, according to Su Che's records, when he was transferred from Yunzhou to Bianliang to serve as an official, Su Yun bought his family a courtyard worth thousands of strings of cash to live in. Su Yun had not yet taken the imperial examination at that time, that is, he had not yet become an official, so where did his money come from?

So, for a man with a strong body and rare handsomeness in the world, the best way to make money is needless for the author to say.

However, the author does not despise Su Yun's behavior. After all, life is not like what the perverse Neo-Confucianism says: dying of starvation is a minor matter while losing one's chastity is a major one. According to our orthodox moral concepts, staying alive is the most important principle. ...】

The sensation caused by Qi Ying's entry into the city even alarmed Qi Keyong.

Qi Keyong didn't sleep all night. Su Yun's life or death was uncertain, so he certainly couldn't sleep.

At dawn, he dozed off for a while and then was woken up.

"General Qi! General Qi! Commander Qi is back!"

Qi Keyong immediately stood up and asked anxiously, "Is Su Qinxia back?"

The guard quickly said, "No! But Commander Qi is back."

"Where are the people?" Qi Keyong asked anxiously.

The guard quickly asked, "Is Commander Qi parading in the streets?"

Qi Keyong was stunned for a moment and asked, "What street are you visiting?"
