Chapter 830 Promise
Hao Tianyi sat on the bank of the Yan River for a day.

Compared with the days of non-stop working after being captured, it is actually not bad to have a rare rest and look at the scenery.

But what Li Xia wanted him to see was not the scenery, he had already seen Yang Dayuan's attitude, pulled the raft to the shore, and had a long talk with Li Xia till the end of the day.When he returns to Taiyuan and mentions this matter, it will cause waves and wrinkle the hearts of the people in the North...

This day was originally like this. As night fell, the Song army on the bank held a bow to protect Yang Dayuan and crossed the center of the river.

After crossing the center of the river, it was already Yang Dayuan's territory, and the strict lineup to the north was all Yang Dayuan's confidantes.

The soldiers of the Song army put away their bows and crossbows, turned around, and prepared to return.

Hao Tianyi's hands were tied, and a soldier led him to follow the horse.

Very embarrassing.

During the Battle of Yanzhou City, he strayed into Zhang Jue's ambush, and Yang Dayuan refused to save him, so today he became Li Xia's prisoner, and Yang Dayuan was still a guest.

But just as he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of the figure on the river falling down from the corner of his eye.

One moment he was the guest of honor, he was the Marshal of the capital, and the situation in Sichuan and Shaanxi was moved by his thought; the next moment he was a corpse floating on the river, dead without struggle.

Good luck tricks people.

As a bystander of the whole incident, Hao Tianyi felt a little emotional. He quickly calmed down and scanned his surroundings to find the murderer.

The Mongolian soldiers on the other side were roaring and roaring, and there was a great chaos. Many people roared and shot arrows here.

Most of the arrows fell on the river, beyond the center of the river.

In other words, although the two sides of the Yanhe River could not shoot each other, they could both shoot Yang Dayuan.

Hao Tianyi turned his head again and saw a row of trees on both sides of the river bank.

Most of the trees in northern Shaanxi are cypresses. The so-called evergreen pines and cypresses, in this March season, the cypresses have flourishing branches and leaves, and the crowns of the trees can hide people.

I didn't see anyone jumping from the canopy on the South Bank.

As for the other side of the river, the noise was so loud that it was no longer possible to see from the chaotic scene whether the killer took advantage of the chaos to hide among the soldiers.

After this moment of observation, Hao Tianyi already had a rough judgment, thinking that it was not Li Xia who did it, it was neither necessary nor the right time to do it.

He wasn't sure, and he couldn't affect those who were shouting for revenge.

There were ships coming down the upper reaches of the Yan River, and Yang Wenzhong was ordering his soldiers to cross the river to kill Li Xia.

Seeing this scene, Hao Tianyi was quite curious about how Li Xia would explain it to Yang Wenzhong.

If Yang Wenzhong can calm down at this time, it may not be impossible to find the killer. If he can explain clearly, I am afraid that the Yang family can really return to Li Xia.

Li Xia did not explain, and began to order one after another to arrange.

Hao Tianyi couldn't hear clearly, only heard Shi Yan conveying to his subordinates not far away.

"Let the Mongolian army attack, surround and annihilate them, and don't let any of them escape..."

There was the sound of horseshoes heading south, that was Li Xia sending Xinma to mobilize reinforcements.

This surprised Hao Tianyi.

Li Xia's reaction was cold, as if there was no emotion at all.

No regrets, no shouting of injustice.When something happened, it was useless to explain it. If Yang Wenzhong wanted to kill him, he would kill him. It was best to kill people directly and keep the situation under control.

Thinking about it carefully, being so sensible at such a young age shows that he has a cold and ruthless temperament. Hao Tianyi really doesn't like people like Li Xia, and finds it a bit scary...

The soldiers of the Song Army began to prepare for the battle nervously and orderly.

Hao Tianyi was tied under a big tree. He raised his head to look at the crown of the tree above him, and suddenly felt a chill behind him.

He couldn't help thinking, maybe Li Xia didn't agree with Yang Dayuan just now and sent someone to shoot Yang Dayuan?
The killer was hiding in the canopy of the tree at this time, and he could give Hao Tianyi a sword by jumping off, sealing his throat and killing him.

Hao Tianyi's throat rolled.

He feels that human life is really fragile...

As night fell completely, someone lit a torch, and the two sides had already begun to rain arrows to test, and the battle was stalemate.

There was the thunderous sound of horseshoes from the south, which meant that Zhang Jue's reinforcements were approaching.

Unexpectedly, Yang Wenzhong was originally in an attitude of immortality, but he ordered to retreat before that.

The sound of ringing gold came from the opposite bank, and Hao Tianyi breathed a sigh of relief.

He was tied here, and he couldn't even run away. If an attack came from the opposite side and the battle line was pushed nearby, it would most likely kill him.

After that, I saw the Song army chasing along the river for a while, but after all, it was located downstream, and not far away was the fortress built by the Mongolian army layer by layer. Once the Mongolian army retreated, the Song army could no longer wipe out the opponent, and soon retreated return.

A conflict ended hastily like this.

Even Hao Tianyi noticed that Yang Wenzhong's reaction was abnormal, the transition from raising troops in anger to calmly retreating the enemy was too fast, obviously he was reminded.

It means that someone is fighting Li Xia.

"Since the Great Mongol Kingdom is voluntarily withdrawing its troops, how could His Majesty have not considered the changes in people's hearts brought about by this move, and how could there be no countermeasures?"

~~
A body was salvaged and sent to Saimenzhai.

There were soldiers holding up torches to lead the way ahead. Before reaching the lobby, they heard the sound of roaring and wailing.

"Second brother!" Yang Daji stepped forward and cried, his face was full of shock and grief, and he cried: "Brother is gone, and you are gone too, what should I do with this big family?!"

"Uncle? Uncle?" Yang Wen'an stretched out his trembling hand and gently touched Yang Dayuan's body, as if he refused to believe that his uncle was dead.

After it was determined that the person on the stretcher was really dying, Yang Wenan was stunned.

He turned his head to look at his elder brother Yang Wenzhong, and took a few steps back, not knowing where he wanted to go.

Until he remembered his childhood, when his father died in battle, Yang Dayuan once held him in his arms and said, "Uncle is still here, and uncle will raise you as his son", Yang Wen'an's eyes turned red and tears fell.

He has a stubborn personality and has never been willing to show emotion in front of others. He wiped his eyes, stood aside, and calmed down.

"Father." Yang Wencan was a few steps away, unable to touch his father's body before his third uncle and cousins.

Yang Wencan's demeanor was weak, when the Yang family around was shouting "revenge", he listened to the orders of several clan uncles and went to take the children aside.

The Yang family had their own reactions, and Yang Dayuan had always treated the soldiers leniently, and the whole army grieved.

Many people drew out their sabers and pointed at the sky, vowing to kill Li Xia to avenge the marshal.

It wasn't until these people's emotions passed the most exciting time that Xu Heng walked slowly to Yang Dayuan's body, expressing his condolences as an important minister of the Mongolian Kingdom.

Signaling the soldiers to bring the torch closer, Xu Heng leaned over, squinted his old eyes and carefully looked at Yang Dayuan's pale face and festering wounds.

The arrow pierced through the entire neck from the left side.

It's a bow and arrow, not a crossbow.

Bows and arrows are more difficult to master, but those who are good at archers can shoot more than two hundred steps. Although crossbow arrows travel ten times faster than bows, they can only reach fifty steps directly, and they will lose stability any further.

In other words, the person who shot Yang Dayuan was probably fifty to a hundred steps away from Hexin.

Looking at the arrows piercing, there is a slight tilt from top to bottom...

"It seems that Song Jun climbed up the tree on the other side of the river and shot Marshal Yang." Xu Heng made a judgment.

Yang Wen'an recruited two soldiers to give a demonstration.

The Song army was on the south bank, and when Yang Dayuan came back, his face was facing downstream and he was throwing a pole. The last ray of the setting sun was cast on his back, and an arrow was shot from the right...

At the end, Yang Wen'an asked Yang Wenzhong: "Brother, is that so?"

"Not bad." Yang Wenzhong choked up.

Yang Wen'an frowned upon hearing this, walked a few steps, and stood at the brightest spot of the bonfire.

Here, he glanced at the soldiers who went with Yang Dayuan.

"Tell me about what you saw."

"Let's do the funeral first." Yang Daji said, "Let the second elder brother go to the earth and rest in peace, and then talk about revenge."

After all, he is an elder, and since Yang Daji opened his mouth, Yang Wen'an stopped questioning him...

The military meeting hall was quickly changed into a mourning hall.

The village of Saimen was very busy.

In the middle of the night, Xu Heng, Yang Daji, Yang Wenzhong, and Yang Wen'an sat in the side hall for a secret discussion.

There are few people, and there are some things that are easy to talk about and can be open and honest.

In the dull atmosphere, Xu Heng opened his mouth first, and said: "Marshal Yang, in order to recruit Li Xia, did not hesitate to cross the river to accept him, and died for the benefit of the country. This old man should report to His Majesty and posthumously posthumously title Marshal Yang."

The three uncles and nephews of the Yang family breathed a sigh of relief.

When Yang Dayuan died and went to see Li Xia, they must have worried about what Kublai Khan would think of him, and with Xu Heng's words, they would feel at ease.

"Back then, Martial Immortal held a banquet to ambush Shi Tianni, which was shameless to the world." Yang Daji said, "Now that Li Xia dares to follow Wuxian's actions, he will surely be torn to pieces."

Comparing Yang Dayuan to Shi Tianni, Yang Daji is comparing himself to Shi Tianze.

Comparing Li Xia to a Martial Immortal aroused the resentment of the princes of the North, which was obviously beneficial to the Mongolian Kingdom.

In two sentences, the tone of the whole matter has been set.

What you say after that can't change the tone you just set, it's just a discussion.

Only then did Yang Wen'an ask, "I'm still a little confused... When my uncle was hit by the arrow, was he facing east or west? Brother, do you remember?"

Yang Wenzhong was taken aback, thinking about it, and slowly said: "The sky was dark at that time, and the distance was so far away that I couldn't see clearly."

"No one in the army saw clearly?"

"I asked just now. Some people said that my uncle is facing upstream, but more people are sure that my uncle is facing downstream... What does the second brother mean?"

Yang Wen'an didn't answer right away, but seemed to glance at Xu Heng.

Xu Heng sighed, turned to Yang Wen'an, and asked, "It seems that Uncle Tai has doubts about this old man?"

"Junior dare not."

"It's human nature to have doubts." Xu Heng said, "But this old man has no reason to kill Marshal Yang. This old man is absolutely certain that Marshal Yang will never be bewitched by Li Xia, because Li Xia can't give Marshal Yang any promises at all."

He stopped nodding, but Yang Wen'an already understood and nodded.

Since he was not worried about Yang Dayuan's rebellion, Xu Heng, who came here on behalf of Kublai Khan, had no need to kill Yang Dayuan.

"It seems that my uncle talked with Li Xia and rejected Li Xia's request. Li Xia was angry because of this and sent someone to shoot his uncle." Yang Wenzhong said, "The more I think about it, the more I feel that the situation at that time was exactly the same. .”

"That's right." Yang Wenji said, "Li Xia saw that his second brother was loyal to the Mongolian Kingdom, so he became murderous."

Xu Heng sighed, full of regret.

"This old man came here because he wanted to tell Marshal Yang some great news. If he found out, he would be overjoyed. It's a pity."

The three uncles and nephews of the Yang family looked at Xu Heng with solemn faces.

I saw Xu Heng put down his hand stroking his beard, and said slowly: "Since the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the world has been in turmoil for a long time. Although Mongolia is large, it takes killing and attacking captives as its business, so it can't pass the discipline. How is it different from Turks and Huihe? The old man is fortunate to assist the sages with the lords, rule the Central Xia with the Han law, turn the barbarians into China, establish the principles and disciplines, establish the rule and build the country..."

As he spoke, he stood up and looked around at the three people in the seat.

"All the monarchs are the heroes of the founding of the country."

As far as the uncle and nephew of the Yang family are concerned, just this one sentence can tell that the Mongolian Kingdom has given far more than Li Xia.

No, it is no longer the Great Mongol Kingdom...
