generation hero

Hearing the noise outside, Yuan Tang suddenly sat up on the couch, the first thought in his mind was that the Yichi people came to attack the camp again?He hurriedly got up and bumped his head against a hard object, his nose was sore with pain.

"What?" Feng Cong's voice said.

Yuan Tang covered his nose and shook his head, and then he remembered that there was no camp. He was in Baiyu City, and the camp had already been flooded.

What he bumped into Feng Cong's back just now, Feng Cong also heard the sound outside and sat up.

The two put on their clothes and opened the door to go out. Liu Yanping was leading the servants of the Liu family to confront the Beicheng soldiers outside, and the officials of the mansion watched from a distance.

"I want to see Your Highness, get out of the way." After this night, Liu Yanping's face became more haggard, his eyes were black and black, his energy was lacking but his aura was overwhelming, and he was more powerful than when he killed the enemy yesterday. When he saw Feng Cong, he was covered with The bloodshot eyes became even redder, "Your Highness!"

Liu Yanping knelt down towards Feng Cong under the obstruction of Beicheng soldiers, saw Yuan Tang again, and said, "Yuan Canjun is fine, that's great."

"Liu Changshi, please get up quickly." Feng Cong was taken aback, and said, Beicheng officers and soldiers were still standing between the two of them, Feng Cong held the spear shaft in front of him and twisted it, and took the spear from Beicheng soldier's hand, The surrounding Beicheng soldiers immediately became nervous, and pointed at Feng Cong one after another.

Feng Cong said, "Didn't your general tell you to treat Liu Changshi well?"

Bei Chengbing looked at each other hesitantly, staring at the spear in Feng Cong's hand, Feng Cong threw it away, and Bei Chengbing stopped Liu Yanping from meeting the two of them.

Liu Yanping said: "I heard that His Highness has been brought back to the Palace of Internal History this morning, and I am extremely anxious..."

Feng Cong smiled and said, "It's okay, they won't do anything to me."

Liu Yanping said: "It's good that Your Highness is fine." He said sadly: "If it wasn't for Su Shoukui, a traitor, why would Baiyu City be in such a state? The officials of Baiyu are now following His Highness's lead, but please show Your Highness."

Hearing what Liu Yanping said, Beicheng soldiers became nervous again. Yuan Tang thought that Liu Changshi was really not afraid of death. There were Beicheng soldiers inside and outside the city. What else could they do now? Fighting with Beicheng soldiers, only one death .

But so what if he died, Bai Yucheng had already been sent to Beicheng people.

Feng Cong obviously didn't expect Liu Yanping to be so fierce, his eyes were slightly opened, but he said to Liu Yanping in a gentle tone: "If my predictions are correct, Ebi Jiang will send us to Beicheng soon, Liu Changshi and All the officials should go back and prepare as soon as possible."

Liu Yanping trembled, and Yuan Tang was also depressed. Everyone had to accept the fact that Baiyu City had changed hands, and now they could do very little. Compared to when they were trapped in the Xigaogang camp, they could still fight to the death. , Fighting to the death with the Yichi people is even more powerless now.

Liu Yanping could only accept this result in the end, his mother was still in Beicheng's hands.

Under the watchful eye of the Beicheng soldiers, the servants of the Neishi Mansion carefully served Feng Cong and Yuan Tang to wash up. After Feng Cong washed his face, he said to Yuan Tang, "Go and clean up, too."

Yuan Tang nodded blankly.Feng Cong squeezed his shoulder hard, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

In the morning of that day, Beisheng soldiers took Feng Cong and Yuan Tang out of the city, Liu Changshi's family was also driven to the city gate, and some officials of Baiyu City gathered together at the city gate, Feng Cong, Yuan Tang and Liu Changshi were brought into the same carriage.

After a while, there was a burst of cries from inside the city gate, and a group of Baiyu city residents were rushed in. Among them were refugees who had just crossed the river from Yuzhou a few days ago. It was Pang Xingzhu and his party who finally arrived in Baiyu. Chi came to attack, but Pang Xingzhu and the others had not had time to leave Bai Yu.

In fact, even if you leave Baiyu City, you may not be safe. Baiyu has fallen, and the whole Qizhou will soon be in contention. The north has been in war for several years, and its population is not as good as that of the south. Enrich the country, if Qizhou is captured, the people in other counties will also face the same fate.

Beicheng soldiers identified [-] households from the city, and many of them were driven out of the city gate before they had time to tidy up their belongings. Beicheng soldiers transported rice and grain from the city. The figures of Hu Pengshen and the others were relieved to know that they were still alive.

Liu Yanping slapped the wall of the carriage vigorously, stroked his lapel and pinched his wrists, Qu Sihan rode his horse past the carriage, slammed on the shed vigorously, and shouted: "What's the noise!" He swept across the three people in the carriage contemptuously.

Feng Cong, Yuan Tang and Liu Changshi all came down from the carriage. The people in the city shouted loudly when they saw the three of them, and the Beicheng soldiers also shouted curses, beat them with whips, or drove them away with spears. Feng Cong took the next man empty-handed. With a strong pull of the whip, the whip flew out of Beicheng's soldier's hands.

Hu Sihan rode over on a tall horse and looked down at Feng Cong: "Please return to the car, Your Highness and Liu Changshi."

Beicheng soldiers around gradually gathered around.

Feng Cong threw away the whip and looked at Qu Sihan with a frown.

Qu Sihan said with a smile: "Your Highness, please get in the car."

Then some soldiers shouted: "Get in the car quickly, and treat yourself as a nobleman!"

In fact, Feng Cong was never "noble" in Southern Xia. Liu Changshi was short of breath, and he had to go forward to argue with Bei Chengbing. Feng Cong said to Liu Changshi and several officials of the Internal History Office: "Let the government officials and the people Peer."

Liu Changshi cheered up, looked at Feng Cong with red eyes, cupped his hands and said, "Yes." He arranged for all the officials who moved to the north to disperse into the ranks of the common people. The fact that Bai Yu is about to leave.Beicheng soldiers put ropes on the people, one by one.

Hu Sihan folded his arms and looked at Liu Changshi and Bai Yu, allowing them to do whatever they wanted, then looked back at Feng Cong, and laughed mockingly.

The team left the gate of Baiyu City slowly. The soil on the ground was soaked by the rain, and it seemed limp when walking up. There were bodies of soldiers who died yesterday on both sides of the gate. Whether they were frightened or sad, someone whimpered again.

Among these Wei Han's bones were those who fought with Yuan Tang yesterday, Liu Changshi lowered his eyes, unable to bear to look any further, Yuan Tang glanced back at Bai Yucheng.

Both he and Yuan De were taken to Yaojing, what should the Yuan family do?

Feng Cong squeezed his shoulder again, Yuan Tang turned his head, "What are you thinking?" Feng Cong asked.

"The Yuan family." Yuan Tang said truthfully.

Feng Cong also looked back at Bai Yu, perhaps looking back at Nan Xia, there was no trace of nostalgia in his eyes, only some emotion hidden in indifference.

Yuan Tang suddenly saw something in Feng Cong's body that seemed to be wandering and helpless. Nanxia, ​​who had been staying for more than ten years, was not his hometown. Where was Beicheng in front of him?

From the first day of departure, Feng Cong and Liu Changshi never got into that carriage again. They walked at the forefront of the people's ranks. The only difference was that Bei Chengbing didn't put ropes on them.

Qu Sihan was assigned by Epijiang to escort them back to Yaojing. He was not very satisfied with this task, and wanted to stay in Baiyu to make meritorious deeds, so he always had a bad voice for a day or two after he left.

The number of people who moved from Beicheng this time is not too large. Epijiang led the troops to pacify Yuzhou first, and because of a secret alliance with Su Shoukui to take down Baiyu City, the soldiers were exhausted. After taking Baiyu, the Southern Xia Dynasty will definitely react However, Epijiang still had to consolidate Baiyu and Yuzhou, so the troops that could be allocated were limited. This time, some of the soldiers who were sent back to Yaojing were old, weak and remnants of Beicheng's soldiers.

Yuan Tang has never walked so much, even though he is no longer the weak Yuan Tang of the past, his legs still can't bear the daily schedule, and there are women and children among the people accompanying him, not to mention.

Fortunately, Qu Sihan and his army were not in a hurry, and the speed was not too fast considering the injuries of their colleagues.

Including old, weak and wounded soldiers, Qu Sihan brought a total of 3000 people. They first went westward through the Yuanshui River and entered the Changhe River by boat, and then walked northwestward along the river.

One night, they stayed by the long river, and a dozen or so people in the team jumped into the water and fled at night. The long river was so fast that people entered the water at night, and their life and death were unknown, but these people still escaped.

After Feng Cong, Liu Changshi, and Yuan Tang learned about it, they deliberately delayed the Beicheng soldiers' search and arrest. Later, Hu Sihan became furious and no longer allowed the three of them to go on the road with the Baiyu people, but drove them into the ranks of soldiers.

Epijiang told Qu Sihan to send Feng Cong and Liu Yanping to Yaojing. Qu Sihan was even more afraid that they would escape, so he sent soldiers to guard Feng Cong and Liu Yanping at night.

The long river kept flowing, and Yuan Tang was sleeping next to Feng Cong. Seeing him with his eyes open, the stars were densely packed, and there was nothing to see after looking at him for a long time. Feng Cong must be thinking about those people who jumped into the water and escaped.

After walking for many days, the people who migrated to Baiyu faintly regarded Feng Cong and Liu Yanping as their backbones. They were not only Beicheng's spoils of war, but also a group of refugees escorted by officers and soldiers.

Yuan Tang moved and held Feng Cong's hand, Feng Cong turned to look at him.

Liu Yanping was sleeping on the other side of Feng Cong, snoring lightly, surrounded by Beicheng soldiers patrolling back and forth, Feng Cong turned sideways, and gently hugged Yuan Tang, and Yuan Tang fell asleep at some point.

Under Epijiang's order, Qu Sihan did not treat Feng Cong and Liu Yanping very badly, but he did not treat them kindly either. He looked down on the Nanxia people who were not familiar with soldiers and horses, but in fact Yuantang knew that Feng Cong and Liu Yanping were both He is a person who can wield a knife on the battlefield, Qu Sihan is really a complete regional black, of course these are indistinguishable.

In July, they still walked along the long river, passed a Beicheng city, made some repairs and continued on the road. After walking for a day, the flow of the long river became calm, and they slept in the wild for another night. Camp a little farther down the river.

When the fire was being lit, the soldiers who went out to investigate came back and reported that they found a pontoon bridge on the river.

Hu Sihan thought for a while, and said to the soldiers: "It's burned."

Billowing black smoke was ignited by the river, and Qu Sihan ordered people to strengthen the defense of the camp, surrounded the camp with food carts, and cut down tree branches to tie up fences, as if in a defensive posture.

Yuan Tang was puzzled, but it was Yuan De who came over quietly and said to Feng Cong and Liu Yanping, "The soldiers of the Di people said that there may be Ulan people nearby."

Most of the Di people's soldiers spoke their own language. Yuan De fought with General Yuan in his early years and went deep into Beicheng, so he could understand some Di people's words.

"They crossed the river?" Liu Yanping asked in surprise.

Yuan De nodded and said: "There may be a group of Ulan people crossing the river, probably just casual riders."

Ulan lives in the Mobei Grassland, and its territory is adjacent to Beicheng Yuzhou in the east. Mobei is just a general name for a large grassland forest and Gobi in the north. Today, most of the tribes south of Changhe originated from Mobei, and some are from the Western Regions.

At first the Di people harassed Daxia with cavalry, and then competed with the tribes that invaded the northern part of the Xia Kingdom, conquering half of Daxia's country. However, in the north of Mobei, new tribes gathered and became stronger, and gradually invaded southward along the way of the former Di people.

On the contrary, the Di people, in order to adapt to the rule of the old Xia land, gradually built cities to live in the city. Although their cavalry still had an overwhelming advantage over the Nan Xia, they took those who were good at light cavalry and scattered combat like their ancestors. The northern races have no choice.

The Di people harassed Nanxia, ​​and they themselves were harassed by various tribes in the north.The so-called "go forward when you see the benefit, leave when you see difficulties, don't line up in the team, and have no fixed place for the camp."

Ulan is one of the newly emerging tribes in Mobei that are gradually becoming stronger.

Normally, the Ulan people would not easily cross the river, because the river is a barrier to them, but there are a few exceptions. The terrain on both sides of the long river is flat and wide, which is especially suitable for cavalry. At the end of the month, the autumn wind at night has blown away the heat, and a river cannot completely stop the horseshoes of the cavalry.
