generation hero

"Yuan Guang's son," E Pijiang asked Yuan Tang to lift his head, and said, "You don't look like him." He looked at Yuan De again, "We are old acquaintances."

Yuan De was also let go, and he loosened his grip on his wrist.

"The cofferdam diverted water and destroyed a large camp. Even if the Yichi people broke through, they would not be able to occupy the camp." Epijiang said to Yuan De: "You have been fighting with Yuan Guang all year round, and your troops are steady. You did not come up with this dangerous move. That's right," his eyes fell on Yuan Tang, "Yuan Guang is also considered to be a successor."

The idea of ​​flooding the West Camp was indeed proposed by Yuan Tang first, and the specific implementation steps were the collective efforts of everyone. At this time, there was no achievement to remember, and Yuan Tang didn't want to distinguish it from others.

E Pijiang looked at Yuan De and Yuan Tang, and said, "The veteran is calm, the young is brave, and I, Dasheng, have the heart to recruit talents. Are you willing to join me, Dasheng?"

Yuan Tang looked around for a week, from Epijiang to Su Shoukui, he suddenly asked with a smile, "If you want us to work hard for you, what job does the general plan to give us?"

Liu Changshi was anxious when he heard the words: "Yuan joins the army!" Beicheng soldiers on both sides grabbed him first.

The gold ornaments on the goatee of Opy Jiang swayed, and he said, "What title do you have now, and what is your job?"

Yuan Tang said: "Lieutenant Renyong, the official of Weiyuan General's Mansion and joined the army."

E Pijiang said: "I can ask you to be named General Yingyang, and let you still serve in the Baiyu Military Mansion."

Yuan Tang smiled: "I'm still in Bai Yu's office, that is, under Su Shoukui. Su Shoukui eliminates dissidents. In order to join the enemy, let us send him to death. The general also wants me to be a deputy general in his military mansion. It can be seen that there are not many recruits. Heart."

Su Shoukui's expression also changed when he heard the words. Before Epijiang said anything, Qu Sihan first came up and punched Yuantang in the face, saying: "Father, don't listen to him, this person is cunning and cunning, and those Nan Xia Humans have complicated thoughts, and there is no heart to surrender at all.”

Yuan Tang was knocked down by Qu Sihan's punch, Yuan De helped him stand still, E Pijiang took a look at Qu Sihan, and Qu Sihan retreated consciously.

"Since you are dissatisfied with being under the command of General Su, where do you want to go? No matter where I am in Dasheng, you can show your talents, but your hometown is in the south, and it may not be suitable for you to be far away from your homeland." Epijiang said.

Yuan Tang said: "General, you don't have to think far away. I think Baiyu City is very good. Why don't you let me sit in Baiyu City and let Su Shoukui be my lieutenant general?"

Su Shoukui's face darkened when he heard the words, and he shouted, "You... arrogant child!"

E Pijiang also put away her smile and said, "It seems that you really don't have the slightest heart to surrender."

At this moment, Yuantang's mind is filled with the faces of those who died in battle, including the Qizhou army, recruits recruited from among the refugees, and the Yuan family's own soldiers. His heart was cold and angry. How much sincerity is there to submit, how about Su Shoukui, General Su, really submitting? You might as well tell the general that General Su’s son is still serving in the Xiangjing Forbidden Army, and his family has a lot of connections with the dignitaries of the Xia Dynasty, how sincere is his submission?”

E Pijiang turned to look at Su Shoukui, Su Shoukui glared at Yuantang and said to E Pijiang, "Don't listen to Lizi's nonsense, General."

E Pijiang said: "Having said that, General Su did not tell me that you still have a son who is still in the Nanxia Imperial Army."

Su Shoukui hurriedly said: "This son was born to a concubine and maidservant. Since he has left my house, I assume that the Su family does not have this son."

Yuan Tang sneered, E Pijiang was still looking at Su Shoukui, Su Shoukui's forehead twitched, and said: "The righteous red men came to attack, and I forgot to report something to the general." He glanced at Yuan Tang from the corner of his eye, "A month ago, the Southern Xia court A person was sent to Bai Yu as the internal historian, this person is the son of Prince Wenxi of the Southern Xia Dynasty..."

Yuan Tang's heart skipped a beat, and he rushed towards the corridor, as if he wanted to swallow people alive: "Su Shoukui——!!!"

A strange color appeared in Epijiang's eyes: "Really!?"

Yuan Tang had already grabbed the corner of Su Shoukui's cloak, and was pressed down by the Beicheng soldiers and Su Shoukui's guards. Su Shoukui hid sideways in the house, and said to Epi: "It's true, Yuan Guang's son used to be his companion, and his relationship And it's intimate."

E Pijiang's eyes turned to Yuan Tang again, but Yuan Tang didn't move when he heard the words, and let others hold him down. E Pi Jiang wanted to ask Yuan Tang about Feng Cong, but seeing Yuan Tang bit his lips and closed his eyes, he dismissed the idea.

Su Shoukui said: "About half a month ago, the heir of the former prince of Nanxia and the government officials sent the refugees to Titao County. He should still be on the way back. He didn't know that Baiyu City had already belonged to Dasheng. The general sent people to guard all the intersections. Caught."

E Pijiang thought for a moment, then nodded to a general beside him, who led the order to go out.

Su Shoukui asked, "General, what should we do with Yuan Guang's son?"

Epijiang stroked his beard and said, "Since you can't be used by me, Dasheng, you shouldn't be left to be Dasheng's enemy, and you should be executed."

Yuan Tang and Yuan De were locked in a prison cart and taken outside the city. After a while, someone from the military mansion caught up with them on horseback. Hu Sihan followed the horse beside the prison cart and asked Yuan Tang, "You really flooded the West Camp outside the city?"

Yuan Tang was full of thoughts about how to escape, how to find a way to notify Feng Cong, and had no interest in talking to him.

Qu Sihan said contemptuously, "I'm afraid it was someone else's idea."

How to escape? There are Beicheng soldiers everywhere. Where is Feng Cong? Seeing that the flag on Baiyu City has changed, he definitely won't approach him, no, we still have to find a way to notify him, but what can we do?

Yuantang suddenly thought of Liu Changshi, and regretted not giving him some hints just now. The Beicheng people seemed not to embarrass Liu Changshi for the time being, maybe he could inform Feng Cong.

Qu Sihan didn't get an answer, felt bored, snorted coldly, rode his horse and walked ahead.

Until the prison cart left the city gate, Yuan De said with emotion: "Being able to follow the general and A Lang once, Yuan De has never been in vain in his life."

Only then did Yuantang withdraw from his thoughts, realizing that they might really be dying.

At this time, he was not afraid, but he still had regrets and guilt. After all, he still had to bear the entrustment of General Yuan. Both he and Yuan De were dead, and the Yuan family had nothing to rely on. He didn't know what would happen in the future, and Feng Cong... gurgling

Yuan Tang and Yuan De dragged out of the prison van, while Qu Sihan stood aside and said something to Bei Chengbing. He was here to supervise and execute Yuan Tang and Yuan De.

Hu Sihan walked up to Yuan Tang and Yuan De again, and asked, "If you have anything to say, go ahead."

Yuan De straightened his back and remained silent. He was about to die, and Yuan Tang had nothing to fear. He said, "What do you want to hear, your defeated general?"

It was precisely because of Jucheng's defeat that Hu Sihan was deeply concerned that he specifically asked his father to supervise and behead him. Hearing this, he was very angry. He said: "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. Aren't you also defeated by me now?"

Yuan Tang sneered mercilessly: "You and I have never fought on the battlefield, so how could I lose to you? If you hadn't colluded with Su Shoukui, I wouldn't have been caught by you. It's in vain for you to consider yourself a great husband and think so Even if you beat me."

Qu Sihan's face turned red from being choked by him, and he was tongue-tied, "You...you want to provoke me?"

"You will be provoked, which proves that you also think what I say makes sense." Yuan Tang said.

Hu Sihan's face turned red and then turned white, staring at Yuan Tang and said: "You southerners have a lot of tricks, if you want to survive, kowtow to me now, I can help you beg my father, I can't even bow my head to beg for mercy , and still want to spare your dog's life?"

Yuan Tang rolled his eyes at him, and said: "Even if I kneel and kowtow, you are still my defeated opponent, do you understand that victory is not martial arts? When I die, you will never have a chance to defeat me, and you will always be my defeated opponent .”

"You...you..." Qu Sihan was young and energetic, he was so angry that Yuan Tang couldn't speak, the golden bells on the end of his hair trembled, and there was some hesitation in his eyes.

The soldiers who executed all looked at Qu Sihan, and Qu Sihan gritted his teeth and said, "You are dead when you die. How can there be so many fallacies? You really have a lot of tricks. Come and execute!"

Yuantang sighed in his heart, and he didn't expect Sihan to be really provoked by him. They were all enemy generals to Beicheng. When two soldiers fought, the important thing was to destroy the enemy's vital strength. If Yuantang didn't surrender, Beicheng would also There is no reason to keep Yuan Tang.

The wind blew and the clouds moved, and the cloudy clouds were blown away for several days, revealing the stars at seven or eight o'clock. A fast horse galloped from the city, and the soldiers immediately came to Hu Sihan's ear and said a few words.

Qu Sihan raised his hand, and the soldiers who were about to kill Yuantang and the other stopped.

Qu Sihan gritted his teeth and said to the soldiers, "Take it back."

Neither Yuan Tang nor Yuan De understood, so, is this not killing them?

The two were put into a prison van and brought back to the military residence. They were still in the main hall of the military residence. Yuan Tang saw Feng Cong standing in front of Epijiang with his hands behind his back.

At that moment, Yuan Tang's heart jumped out of his throat, Feng Cong only turned around and glanced at the two of them.

Epijiang said: "The person His Highness wants has been brought."

Feng Cong nodded: "Thank you, General, I took these two away."

"Your Highness, don't forget your promise."

Feng Cong didn't say any more, the soldiers let go of Yuan Tang and Yuan De, but still followed around, Feng Cong took them back to Neishi Mansion.

Beicheng soldiers were all inside and outside the Neishi Mansion, officials and servants were locked in a room, and Beicheng soldiers released them only after Feng Cong came back.They were both happy and weeping when they saw Feng Cong, and they were still panicked.

Feng Cong asked Yuan De to be taken to clean, and he dragged Yuan Tang to his residence. Beicheng soldiers were still guarding outside. When the door was closed, the room was pitch black. This room had been unoccupied for many days, exuding a stuffy smell. tide.

As soon as Yuan Tang entered the door, he couldn't stand still. Feng Cong helped him to the couch, hugged him tightly, and called, "A Tang, it's okay."

Yuan Tang's body felt numb and hurt, and he held Feng Cong's waist tightly with both hands, and he said, "Why are you back, why don't you run away?"

Feng Cong kept rubbing Yuantang's forehead with his jaw, and said, "There's no escape, don't cry."

Only then did Yuan Tang realize that he was crying uncontrollably, "Su Shoukui, that bastard," Yuan Tang said, "Many people have died...it's too miserable."

Feng Cong wiped Yuantang's tears, but he couldn't wipe them away. Yuantang seemed to have finally found a place to vent, and he couldn't suppress the pain and pain of the past few days.

Feng Cong led Yuan Tang to the bathroom next door and used three big buckets of water to wash off the mud and sand on Yuan Tang's body. Feng Cong also jumped into the bucket, and he was also covered in dust.

Yuan Tang wolfed down the rice porridge prepared in the kitchen, tears kept streaming, his eyes were swollen like two peaches, Feng Cong had no choice but to lean over and kiss Yuan Tang's eyelids, like licking the wound of a wounded animal, gently licking Looking at the tear stains under his eyes, he took the medicine box and gave him medicine.

The room was quiet, no one spoke.

The two lay flat on the couch, wrapped in a thin quilt, Yuan Tang asked, "Have they found you?"

Feng Cong said: "I met Beicheng soldiers before I went outside the city, and I went into the city with them myself."

Yuan Tang felt uncomfortable, and said, "I didn't realize Su Shoukui's intentions, and I couldn't inform you..."

Feng Cong said: "I didn't expect that either. It rained all the time on the road, and many places were flooded. When I arrived in Titao County, I heard that Yichi had attacked Bai Yu. Later, I received a letter from Shen Jingxuan, and I learned about Su Shoukui's attack." Hid something from us."

"What is he hiding?"

"The Queen Mother just passed away. Your Majesty dismissed Wang Shangshu from his position and sent him to his hometown to retire. Wang Qu was transferred to Huizhou just after he arrived, and his uncle also resigned. Later, someone reported that Wang Shangshu and Yun Yanghou conspired in the Huizhou raised troops, and within a month, Wang Shangshu also died of illness, His Majesty stripped Wang Qu of his title and sent him back to Pengwu's home."

Yuantang only knew that King Huan had left Shangyun, but he didn't know anything else. Maybe the news from Beijing hadn't arrived so fast, or Su Shoukui deliberately stopped him.The Empress Dowager had just passed away, and the faction of the Wang family was almost completely wiped out, still for the crime of disobedience to the court. As the representative of the Wang family in Qizhou, Su Shoukui's situation would only be worse than that of General Yuan.

Yuan Tang said: "Yun Yanghou looks like that... Then Su Shoukui shouldn't join the enemy. Yi Chi is attacking Bai Yu, and it is impossible for the court to change generals before the battle."

Feng Cong said: "Shen Jingxuan said that those who denounced the Wang family were not without evidence. The Wang family had plans to seize military power, and some methods may not be able to see people. Su Shoukui was also involved in the leak to those who cared about it, or there were letters, and there was evidence left in the Wang family, so he was uneasy. Now that Yi Chi came to commit crimes, the court will naturally not move him, and the court will not move until Yi Chi retreats. Let him control Baiyu again."

Yuan Tang said: "Then you don't have to surrender to the enemy, let's not talk about how long Yichi will be in trouble, Bai Yu is harassed by Beicheng every year, there must be a town general here..." Yuan Tang also remembered , Su Shoukui did not suppress Baiyu before, and it was Liu Changshi and another general who led the Qizhou army to defend against the enemy in Baiyu. However, Su Shoukui may not be as good as General Yuan back then, because General Yuan guarded Zerou and went deep into Beicheng. When the Xiao family wanted to replace General Yuan, the emperor would still think about it.

Feng Congzhi and Yuantang must have thought of it too, and said, "Bai Yu is not obliged to do so, and the trouble of the Yi Chi army will not last long. Don't you think the Yi Chi man came too fast this time?"

Yuan Tang said, "Yes."

Feng Cong said: "They didn't send their troops south after victory, but were driven out of Yuzhou by Beicheng and had to go south across the river. There is no place for the Yichi people in Yuzhou. If they take down Baiyu City, and then Conquering the entire Qizhou may still be able to survive, but Mo Ruwei is desperate and has to lead all the troops to fight to the death, and they will not last long."

Yuantang suddenly realized that this was the case, no wonder the Yichi people came so fast, they had to be fast, they had to attack Bai Yu by force.

The Beicheng army withdrew from the south bank of the Changhe River, and Bai Yu was unable to find out more information. Like many people, Yuantang believed that Beicheng was defeated by the Yichi people. He still suffered from his lack of battlefield experience. He was not vigilant, so he didn't expect many doubts when he saw it. Su Shoukui sat in Baiyu to see the whole situation, and he saw the whole situation better than Yuantang.

It was also after receiving Shen Jingxuan's letter that Feng Cong combined the news from the frontline and returned to Baiyu to see the city wall changing flags, so he sorted out what happened. He said: "Su Shoukui knows that the Yichi people will not be troubled for too long, even if he deliberately indulges in procrastination." , Leaving Yi Chi is a danger, the court can still send another person to Qizhou, his foundation in Qizhou is not stable, and he can easily be replaced by others."

So Su Shoukui used Bai Yu as a bargaining chip, contacted the Beicheng army by the Changhe River, and led Beicheng into the country, so that Beicheng would have to rely on him and his soldiers to station in Baiyu.

"But after all, the Qizhou Army still has the majority in Baiyu City. How could the Qizhou Army allow him to surrender?" Yuan Tang said.

Feng Cong said: "Before Nanxia took over Baiyu, many Qizhou soldiers were also Beicheng soldiers, and the people in the city were also Beicheng people."

It is common for the stronghold of the city at the junction of the north and the south to change hands every three to five years. Many people may not resist, and those who resist may not resist to the end.

Baiyu City became Beicheng's territory again.

Yuan Tang clutched Feng Cong's sleeves tightly in the thin quilt, "Then what should you do, what did you promise Epi Jiang?"

Yuan Tang has nothing at all now, there are Beicheng soldiers outside, no sense of security, Feng Cong stroked his hand and said, "Don't worry, Ebi Jiang will take me to Yaojing, my grandfather is there, he The tribe is the most powerful of the Su'an people. Beicheng is now ruled by the emperor's uncle Ying Wang. In recent years, the emperor has gradually grown up, and they have divided factions in the court. Ebijiang probably belongs to one of the factions and wants to win over my grandfather. With his support, he will take me to Yaojing to meet my grandfather."

Yuantang breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt melancholy again. Feng Cong was going to Yaojing, and he would leave Nanxia.

Feng Cong sighed in the dark and said, "You, Yuan De and other officials of Bai Yu will be taken away by them."

Yuan Tang was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that they are all prisoners now, and the reason they can sleep on a soft couch is because Feng Cong is useful to Epijiang.

Feng Cong said: "They want to send people from Di to take over Bai Yu and use Bai Yu as an outpost to attack Qizhou."

The fall of Baiyu City will put the whole Qizhou in a state of emergency, and Muzhou and Muzhou will become the front lines again, and the barriers of the southern and northern borders will be greatly weakened, and these are beyond Yuantang and Feng Cong's power.
