A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 609: I hope to make a lasting contribution
When news of Yang Guang's retreat came, the entire battlefield collapsed. He patted his ass and left, but hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians suffered miserably.

By the time Wang Xuanze got the news, Yang Guang had already led his army to retreat to Luoyang, and the remaining soldiers were hunted down by the Liaodong Kingdom.

Wow!
There is already a chill in Liaodong in July, and an autumn rain makes people even more chilly. The originally muddy Liaoze became even more difficult to walk on. The raging Liaohe River divided the land into two pieces. Wang Xuanze and his party were wrapped in raincoats and galloped on horseback in the rain.

"Is it this direction?"

"Brother, that's right! There is a simple ferry here that can cross the Liao River. Some time ago, there were some boatmen transporting military supplies. Now that the army has been defeated, I don't know if they have escaped."

The group of people came to the shore and saw a dozen or so boats scattered on the shore. These boats can transport more than a dozen people at a time, plus some food and grass, which is very flexible.

But the boatman was not there, he seemed to have run away. At this moment, a guard suddenly saw a shack not far away from the rain.

Soon I saw many boatmen taking shelter from the rain in their shacks.

Seeing that everyone was about to cross the river, the leading boatman said: "General, the army on the other side of the river is defeated. Those big people who can walk have already left. Crossing the river now will lead to death!"

Wang Xuanze informed the boatman of the situation on the other side, and then said: "The Sui Emperor is unkind. If we don't rescue the defeated army on the other side of the river, they will all be buried in Liaodong!"

"What we have to do now is to cross the river and rescue those people. They are the fire of our people!"

Many times in the middle of the night, people dreamed of living in that glorious world, but in the end they still faced the cruel reality. And just today, in front of his eyes, the black bird sacred pattern appeared.

The old man was about to kneel to the ground subconsciously: "Are you from the Daqian royal family? Is it King Haotianwen who wants to send you to save us?"

(The Huaian Wang family, as a branch of the Wang family, has lost the black bird sacred pattern)
I know that during the Great Qian Dynasty, the people were the real people. I know that at that time, they were truly human beings, not the cows and horses they are now.

Wang Xuanze quickly helped the old man up and said in a deep voice: "Old man, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was unkind and cruel. His destiny is about to end. But this is also the most violent period. It is the darkness before dawn. We need to survive this period before dawn. Only in the darkness can we see the radiant sun!"

The boatman's words were full of mockery, and it was the Sui Emperor Yang Guang who was mocking him, and at the same time, there was also a hint of helplessness. Most of them are drafted civilians who don't have enough to eat or wear, and they have to work hard. What do you think they will do?
When Wang Xuanze heard this, he was silent for a moment, then took off the bamboo hat on his head and said: "Yang Guang's tyranny deserves to be destroyed. It has its own destiny. King Haotianwen does not want to see all the people perish."

The boatman immediately nodded and said: "Sir, although I am just a commoner, I am willing to die for you. This is the most glorious moment in my life. May King Haotianwen protect me."

Before the ship even docked, a dense crowd had already gathered on the shore.

King Haotianwen!

"Those are all good sons and daughters of Zhuxia. Their old fathers, wives, and sons are still waiting for them to come home. If we don't save them, what will happen to those people who are waiting for their fathers, husbands, and sons at home?"

"Is King Haotianwen coming back? Is Daqian coming back?"

More than a dozen boats soon started to move. Wang Xuanze took 300 people across the river by boat and arrived at the other side of the Liao River. At this time, the defeated soldiers on the other side of the river became excited when they discovered that there were boats approaching. The defeated soldiers who had fled in a hurry also gathered on the river bank. .

When the boatman saw the black bird sacred pattern between Wang Xuanze's eyebrows, he was immediately stunned. Even though Daqian was destroyed for three hundred years, people still praise the glorious times of Daqian.

Black Bird Holy Pattern!

Hearing this, the boatman sighed: "Why are you worried about some strangers? Judging from your dress and accompanying guards, you should have been able to leave with the emperor a long time ago. The emperor doesn't care about the life or death of us people. Over the years, The people buried under the Grand Canal can fill up the canal, does it make any difference if more people die and less people die now?"

Wang Xuanze looked around and saw that these people were blue-faced, with incomplete armor, unkempt hair, and no morale. These people had lost their morale during the five-month siege battle. They had been suffering from insufficient food and wages for a long time, and they were all starved and emaciated. They were soldiers of the Sui Dynasty, but they looked like they were not much better than the refugees.

Seeing the condition of these people, Wang Xuanze's heart sank even more. But if he does not come, these people will be killed, enslaved, and even built into a capital by the Liaodong Kingdom.

As the ship gradually docked, the rain in the sky gradually stopped and the dark clouds began to dissipate. Just when the ship stopped, Wang Xuanze and his people were the first to jump off the ship. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky also cracked several holes, and a ray of sunlight passed through the gaps in the clouds and just shone on Wang Xuanze, giving his whole body a golden glow.

The black bird sacred pattern between the eyebrows also shines in the sun.

"Xuanniao Sacred Pattern!"

The person who rushed the fastest saw the holy pattern between Wang Xuanze's eyebrows at a glance, and was stunned. You must know that many soldiers in the Liu, Song and Sui dynasties were descendants of the peasant soldiers of the Qian Dynasty. Even hundreds of years later, they still recognized the black bird pattern.

At this moment, perhaps only the greatest painter could have painted this scene.

The black bird sacred pattern between Wang Xuanze's eyebrows bloomed with brilliance, as if the whole world became brighter at this moment.

His appearance was like a ray of sunshine piercing the darkness, and the golden brilliance shrouded his body. His handsome face and mysterious black bird sacred pattern made him subconsciously think that King Haotianwen had arrived and Daqian was back.

The man who rushed forward stopped, and then he knelt on the ground and cried loudly. The moment he saw Wang Xuanze, he was like an abandoned child, and all the grievances he had experienced began to be vented at this moment.

"King Haotianwen!"

As descendants of farmers and soldiers, these government soldiers have never fought such a useless battle.

"Sir, is Daqian coming back?"

"Sir, do you still know your name?"

After countless people saw Wang Xuanze's black bird sacred pattern, they immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

Wang Xuanze immediately stepped forward and helped everyone up. He also did not expect that four hundred years after the fall of Daqian, it would still have such prestige. One can imagine the efforts and demeanor of the ancestors back then, which also made him feel proud of it.

"Everyone, I know you want to cross the river, but I've searched all around, and there are only a few boats. How many people can cross the river at one time? If we fight for the ferry, I'm afraid there will be another fight."

"Perhaps this is why those Liaodong people drove you here. In the end, they only need to pay very few casualties, and you will kill each other or drown in the Liao River."

"There is no way out in front of you, and there are soldiers chasing you behind. Do you want to die or live?"

"I want to live!" everyone said one after another.

"Then will the Liaodong people show mercy and let you go?"

"will not!"

"Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was unkind and cruel. After the defeat, he fled in a hurry, but we fell into death. If you want to live, you must defeat those Liaodong people! Crossing the river is death, fighting against the Liaodong people will not necessarily lead to death, so why run away , instead of turning around to face the Liaodong Kingdom, this battle is not for that man, but because we want to live!"

"Alive!"

"Alive!"

Everyone shouted loudly, and Wang Xuanze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his morale was available.
