Monument Yangmen

Chapter 821 Do you think I am easy to bully?

Squandering flowers gradually become attractive, so Asakusa can have no horseshoes.

The wild flowers all over the mountain are gorgeous, and the grass is faint. Without the horseshoe, it can't bury the loyal soul.

The journey home of a hundred thousand loyal souls is not peaceful.

More than 1 elite soldiers sent thousands of carriages loaded with loyal souls.

There is no solemnity and solemnity of the army, but a little more sadness.

"Da da da……"

The leading carriage knocked on the gate of the county seat when the early morning fog cleared.

The hearse that stretches for more than four miles is very dazzling when viewed from the city wall.

After seeing this scene, the city guards guarding the city hurried down the city wall and lined up on both sides of the city gate to welcome them.

With the most solemn military appearance, they expressed their respect to the [-] loyal souls who had returned.

The immigrant people in the county who were about to flee were blocked at the door abruptly.

They had no way to go out of the city, so they could only drag their families to watch the excitement at the gate of the city.

just.

They didn't see the excitement, but instead saw a scene they will never forget.

Hearses entered the city one by one.

Glossy jars filled with hearses.

On each jar, there is a military badge.

"This is……"

"It should be the group of veterans who went to Haoshuichuan before..."

"Looking at the posture, I'm afraid they died a lot, right?"

"I know a little about arithmetic, and after a rough calculation, they should all be dead..."

"Then...then Haoshuichuan has been breached? We are in danger. After they leave in a while, we have to run quickly."

"..."

The people were discussing in whispers.

Wang Xing and his party turned a deaf ear to it.

Those who emigrated don't understand the feelings of the revival veterans for Yan.

Wait until all the hearses have entered the county town.

The county magistrate supported an elderly man, followed by a large group of old and weak women and children, and arrived in front of Wang Xing.

The old man looked at the densely packed ashes urn behind Wang Xing, staggered two steps forward, and said in a trembling voice, "They're all dead..."

Wang Xing nodded solemnly while weeping.

The old man's eyes were red, and two lines of tears flowed down. He staggered and almost fell.

Fortunately, the county magistrate had quick eyesight and quick hands, and helped him stabilize.

After the old man stood firm, he stared at Wang Xing and asked, "My son is going into battle, is he brave in battle?"

Wang Xing nodded heavily, "Brave!"

The old man asked again, "Will my son be afraid of death in battle?"

Wang Xing nodded again, "No!"

The old man asked again, "Can the good water be kept?"

Wang Xing took a deep breath, and shouted in a deep voice: "One hundred thousand brothers, fight with all your might, behead Yelu Xiezhen, the general of the Liao Kingdom, and [-] Liao troops, and defend the good Shuichuan."

"it is good!"

With tears in his eyes, the old man stomped on the crutch in his hand, "My son died fighting for his family and country, and he died in a suitable place. He was not afraid of death, but also fought bravely. The old man has a bright face."

The old man looked back and shouted to the old and weak women and children who were crying behind him: "The sons and daughters of our family went out to fight bravely without fear of death. They are worthy of His Majesty's trust and the expectations of our family members.

They have no regrets, we have no regrets.

Get out of the way and send your sons to Zhongyi Mountain. "

The old man has a high prestige, he shouted.

The old and weak women and children voluntarily moved out of the way.

Wang Xing did not let the hearse start, but took a package from behind the hearse, and solemnly handed it to the old man.

"Old brother, it is the brother's long-cherished wish to be buried in Zhongyi Mountain, so I cannot give you this ashes. This is the military badge of the brothers in your county, and I will give it to you."

The old man tremblingly took the military badge and nodded heavily.

The hearse moved again.

Drive to Zhongyi Mountain.

Old and weak women and children spontaneously followed the hearse to see their sons off for the last time.

Among the people who were about to leave the city, whispers resumed.

"These veterans are really powerful. One hundred thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, they fought hard to death fifty thousand Liao troops..."

"If you want me to say, that's stupid. A group of sick people, what kind of war are they going to fight?"

"you shut up!"

An angry shout interrupted the sarcastic common people.

"Who are you, and you have to care about what other people say?"

"I am from Yan!"

After leaving these four words, the man tossed his sleeve robe, put his hands behind his back, and left arrogantly.

Behind him, his wife and children ran up after him.

"Sir, are we not running away?"

The man glanced at the old wife, and said flatly: "Why do you want to run away? Yan Guo has soldiers like this, who can defeat them? You take your children and grandchildren home and stay there, and you are going to send your loyal soul for your husband."

"Daddy, I'm going too!"

"I'm going too, Daddy!"

The two sons scrambled to speak.

The man nodded heavily, "Okay! Dad will take you there. Dad also wants you to remember one thing. When King Yan calls, there will be a place for the two of you on the battlefield."

The two brothers looked at each other, saluted the man in unison, "My child will obey father's teaching."

"Walk……"

In this regard, the father and son embarked on the road of escorting the loyal soul.

city ​​gate.

There was a loud spit.

Those people who were about to flee spat at the person who had just made sarcastic remarks in a fit of righteous indignation.

Then they dragged their families back to their homes in the city.

The person who made sarcastic remarks turned red and felt ashamed.

Wait until all the people are gone.

He cursed angrily: "I think they all deserve to die, and you should die too..."

"I think it's you who deserves to be damned."

An angry voice sounded in his ear.

"Who?"

He turned his head and saw a man in the uniform of a yamen servant standing coldly behind him.

He took a step back in shock, "Who are you and what do you want to do?"

The yamen servant stared at him coldly, and said in a low voice: "I used to be a member of the revival army. As for what I want to do? Hehe, no one told you that in Yan Kingdom, loyalty should not be insulted?"

"Shu~"

The long knife came out of its sheath and slashed fiercely on the man's neck.

The man rolled his eyes and passed out.

"Come two people and send him to the prisoner camp in Xixia Mansion."

Deal with this bastard who insulted loyalty.

The yamen servants hurriedly caught up with the team escorting the loyal souls.

It only took three days to go from Zhongyi Mountain to Haoshui River.

When returning, it took a full 15 people.

Everywhere.

There will be tens of thousands of people waiting.

Wang Xing will also leave the military badges of the brothers who died in battle to their families.

And the people who escorted the loyal soul to Zhongyi Mountain gathered more and more.

Finally arrived at Zhongyi Mountain.

There are hundreds of thousands of people escorting loyal souls.

In this battle, the people from Zhongyizhuang died the most.

All the old and weak women and children were looking forward to, reading and watching at Zhongyi Zhuangkou.

When they saw the long queue of hearses, they howled.

The women surrounded Wang Xing and questioned him heartbreakingly, why didn't you die when your child died?

Wang Xinglao was in tears, and kept apologizing to them, claiming that he was guilty because he didn't protect those children well.

An old man who was completely paralyzed was carried to Wang Xing by four women.

Seeing the old man, Wang Xing mourned, "Old brother... I didn't protect your baby well..."

The old man raised his hand and clapped.

The daughter-in-law next to me cried and asked, "My father asks you, is my baby afraid of death?"

"Not afraid of death!"

"Can the good water be kept?"

"Hold it!"

"..."

The old man was lying on the couch with tears in his eyes but a smile on his face.

I don't know whether to be happy or sad.

His name is Wang Cheng.

There are five people in the family.

One father, two sons, one daughter-in-law and one grandson.

Two sons and one grandson died in battle.

He cried because the white-haired man sent the black-haired man.

He laughed because his children and grandchildren died on the battlefield and defended their homeland. He was happy.

in a wailing sound.

Wang Xing sent the ashes of [-] veterans to the foot of Zhongyi Mountain.

He never climbed the mountain, but was stopped by someone.

Holding a bright yellow scroll in his hand, Peng Pai stood heavily at the foot of Zhongyi Mountain, blocking Wang Xing and other 10 people.

"Shu~"

in the spotlight.

Peng Pai unfolded Huang Juan and muttered in a deep voice, "The imperial edict said: Stop the spirit of Zhongyi at the foot of the mountain, and set up a shrine to show the meritorious deeds for the people to pay homage to. In the future, I will bring the heads of millions of thieves to pay homage, and then send the loyal souls back to the mountain... This is it. "

"promise!"

……

Harbor City.

In the camp.

Kou Zhun, who rushed over from Yanjing City, was stopped outside the study.

Kou Zhun shouted impatiently at the soldiers guarding the gate: "Open the gate, I want to go in."

The soldier guarding the gate grimaced, and said in a low voice: "Lord Kou, it's not that we won't open the gate for you, it's because His Majesty ordered you to see no one."

Kou Zhun grimaced and growled, "I have been here for three days, and he hasn't stepped out of this door for three days, and hasn't entered the water for three days. If this continues, he will die. You want to watch him die." ?”

The soldiers guarding the gate looked even more bitter, "We don't want to, but our duty is. Since His Majesty got the battle report of Haoshuichuan, he locked himself in the room and neither let anyone in nor out.

If there were no military orders, we would have rushed in. "

Kou Zhun said coldly: "Open the door and let me in. If something happens, I will take care of it."

The soldiers guarding the gate looked at each other, smiled wryly and shook their heads, "Our duty is..."

After a pause, one of the soldiers looked at Kou Zhun and said in a low voice, "If Mr. Kou breaks in by force, we may not be able to stop him..."

Kou Zhun frowned, understanding.

Immediately, he opened his legs and rushed inside.

The soldiers guarding the gate just resisted symbolically, and then let Kou Zhun break in.

"Whoo~"

Kou Zhun rushed to open the door, and a puff of smoke floated out from the door.

Kou Zhun coughed because of the pungent smell.

Kou Zhun endured the choking smoke and rushed into the room.

Among the misty clouds, I saw Yang Qi sitting in front of the desk with disheveled hair, swallowing clouds and mist.

On the floor in front of the table, cigarette butts were scattered all over the place.

Yang Qi stared out the window in a daze, smoking one after another.

Seeing this, Kou Zhun got angry from his heart, and he said sarcastically, "Is your majesty scared by the Liao people? Hiding here alone, secretly licking the wound."

Yang Qi stopped the hand that was putting the cigarette end to his mouth, turned his head, and glanced at Kou Zhun.

Only then did Kou Zhun see Yang Qi's face clearly.

Unkempt and full of stubble.

Like a beggar.

Lying halfway on the chair, with a cigarette in his mouth, Yang Qi asked Kou Zhun sadly, "Kou Zhun... At first I established the Southern Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom to protect more people.

But now?
More people died because of me.

You say I am right, or wrong? "

Kou Zhun froze for a moment, frowning, not knowing how to answer.

Yang Qi suddenly grinned, "It's not funny, I, the ruler of two big countries, have no interest in the throne at all? After all, it fueled the ambition of the enemy, thinking that I am weak and bully, that's what hurts me." So many soldiers and civilians died tragically because of this.”

The smile on Yang Qi's face became more and more ferocious, and his voice became louder and louder. He roared angrily, "It's because I don't proclaim myself emperor that they see the ambition to subdue me, and make them think that I, Yang Yansi, are just a person who can The little king who bullies casually.

If I were stronger and more ruthless.

Tell them that I am an emperor, and it will be very miserable if they mess with me.

Will they be so reckless? "

Kou Zhun was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "This matter has nothing to do with being called emperor or not..."

Yang Qi shook his head slowly, "Yes! It has a lot to do with it! If I don't claim the title of emperor, I will always think about the old feelings and keep everything to myself. Let them breathe. If I claim the title of emperor, I will be murderous. Millions, they don’t dare to think badly about me after killing them. In this way, there won’t be so many people dying tragically because of me, and the only ones who die will be the enemies.”

"I let you three points for the sake of loyalty, but why don't you understand?"

Kou Zhun blinked, not understanding what Yang Qi was talking about.

But he felt that under Yang Qi's calm surface, the anger in his heart was unprecedented.

Yang Qi dropped the cigarette butt in his hand, stood up slowly, looked at Kou Zhun calmly, and said calmly: "From now on, I, Yan Kingdom, will no longer be a member of Song Kingdom.

I, Yang Yansi, am no longer the king of Yan conferred by Song.

From now on, my country of Yan is just the country of Yan, which only belongs to the people of the country of Yan, and does not belong to anyone else.

Since then, Yan has no king, only one emperor. "

Kou Zhun was extremely shocked, he tremblingly said: "Your Majesty is trying to tear the face off with Song?"

Yang Qi said indifferently: "They were the ones who broke the face first."

Kou Zhun lowered his head slowly, and said in a deep voice, "I understand."

Yang Qi nodded and said, "You came just in time, help me draft a few military orders and pass them on."

"promise!"

"Send a letter to the southern country, telling Yang Yanding and Yang Yanguang not to lead the imperial army of the Song Dynasty to fight guerrillas in the mountains. Let the artillery and gunpowder go into battle, and I will defeat them and counterattack Yongzhou."

"Send a letter to Haoshuichuan and tell Yang Yande to lead the army to help Guozhe's family in Beiliang and kill the bug Li Jiqian. I don't want to see this bug jumping out and disgusting people again."

"Send a letter to Gubeikou and tell Yang Yanping to keep an eye on Brother Yeluxiu and don't let Brother Yeluxiu run away."

"The last letter...sent to Dongtou Island, telling Luo Ye that it's time to make a move after staying on Dongtou Island for a long time. Let him lead the water bandits who followed him back then, and entangle Han Qiong at sea for me.

Don't let Han Qiong bypass Dengzhou and appear in our country of Yan.

Otherwise, he is good-looking. "

Three military orders were drafted.

Yang Qi stamped the seal and ordered people to send it out quickly.

As for Yang Qi, he went out and washed up.

All the soldiers and horses in the port city were summoned.

"The whole army rushed to Gubeikou."

Zhentian Battalion, Shenji Battalion, and Yan Army officers and soldiers, after preparing their outfits, followed Yang Qi to Gubeikou.

All the way to eat and sleep.

Ten days' journey.

The soldiers only spent seven days.

Seven days later.

Under the worship of all the soldiers in Gubeikou, Yang Qi stepped onto the city wall of Gubeikou.

outside the city.

A vast expanse.

There are many battle flags and countless soldiers.

The mighty Tianmen formation can be clearly seen from a long distance away.

Yang Qi stood with his hands folded, looked at the Tianmen formation in the distance, and waved his hands calmly.

With Yang Qi waving his hands, the cannons were carried up to Gubeikou.
