(ps: The notice from the relevant department is really accurate. He said that there was a power outage today, but it really didn’t stop. There was no notice two days ago, and I didn’t even wash my feet after the power outage. I think I should feel happy.)

Chapter 780 The third also wants to be buried there

By the beginning of February, almost all the remaining snow on the ground had melted away. Although the wind was still strong, it was not as sharp and cold as a knife a month ago.The ice floes on the Yellow River also began to melt. The navy of Yanyun Army set out from Juyeze in Dongping County, crossed the Yellow River, entered the canal water, and transported supplies all the way north.

Last year, hundreds of miles around Chang'an were hit by disasters, and even Hedong County was affected.But in Dongjun, Dongping County, Qi County, Lu County, and Jibei County, the weather is smooth.The grain harvests in dozens of counties have been good, and the taxes collected by the Yanyun army are extremely low, and the enthusiasm of the people to grow grain and raise the fields is also high.Over the past few years, the four newly built granaries are almost full.

When the Yanyun army started to garrison fields, each of the people who fled from various places could be allocated ten acres of wasteland. In each garrison area, there were about three to five thousand people, and the largest ones were more than [-].They managed the land in partnership, and the first grain seeds were distributed by Yan Yunjun.In the first year, only the seeds are taken back from them, and the refugees do not have to sell the first year's harvest.From the second year onwards, four of the harvest will be handed over to Yanyun Village, and about half of the grain can be kept after deducting other taxes.

Compared with the tyrannical government at the end of the Sui Dynasty, this is already a policy of benevolence to the point of making the people grateful.Therefore, a large number of people from Hebei, Hedong and even Jiangnan came to Dongping County. Later, the territory controlled by the Yanyun Army became larger and larger, and more and more land was farmed.

When Li Xian invaded Chang'an City, in fact, even if the Yanyun army did not have the Liyang warehouse and other granaries built in the Sui Dynasty, they were almost self-sufficient in food and grass supplies.

Yuwen Shi and Luoyang, the capital of the east, were born after Dexing Luocang.Yan Yunjun didn't have to worry about the problem of grain and grass. The Xingluo warehouse was the largest granary built in the Sui Dynasty.The huge amount of grain stored can support the needs of the entire Yanyun Army in the Southern Expedition and the Northern War with just one storehouse.

After the ice and snow melted, the food from Dongping County, Qi County, Lu County and other places was first collected in Juye Lake, and then the navy arranged for a large ship to escort it across the Yellow River, and then sent it to the armies through various waterways.

the second day of february

Dragon looking up

The huge fleet including 120 five-toothed ships that can carry more than a thousand soldiers, 260 Huanglong fast boats that can carry 120 soldiers, and [-] huge grain ships slowly left Juyeze Water Park. Go all the way north.The twenty five-toothed ships were divided into front and rear teams, with twelve ships in the front team and eight ships in the rear team. [-] Huanglong Clippers lined up on the left and right to escort the food ships, and the fleet stretched more than ten miles away.

A huge fiery red battle flag was tied to the mast of the five-toothed ship at the front of the fleet, and the two large black characters of Yanyun fluttered in the wind like a huge dragon churning in the burning clouds.There is a watchtower on the mast. Standing in the guardrail above, the watchman of the Yanyun Army Navy holds a clairvoyance and looks forward. The weather is clear, and standing on this high place can send out tens of miles at a glance.

The five-toothed ship has three floors. After careful renovation by Zhu Yishi and others in the past few years, the redesigned and manufactured five-toothed ship is not only larger than the one built in the Sui Dynasty, but also stronger. The most palpitating It is to add fixed bed crossbows on both sides of the ship's side, as if a row of artillery is installed on both sides of the ship's side.

The current five-toothed ship looks more like a giant whale that really rules the sea.

On the deck towards the bow of the third floor of the tall ship, an old man with a gray beard and a thin face and figure was sitting facing the wind.He wore a set of refined iron armor and a bright red cloak behind him.Wearing an iron helmet on his head and a horizontal knife on his waist, Gu Pan still has the majesty of a tiger in the past.

The iron helmet covered the hair, so the old man's thin face appeared even more. In the past, he always liked to let his hair loose, in order to cover the scar on his face from his forehead to his jaw.But now that his hair is tied up in a bun and hidden in the iron helmet, and his face has become much thinner, his scar looks even more terrifying.

He sat upright on the chair, looking at the bow of the boat breaking through the waves, a little lost in thought.

Behind him, three generals in armor stood there upright.These three people stood like nails, looking at the old man with admiration and respect in their eyes.

"The first time I traveled on this five-toothed boat was when Sui Xingbing sent 51 troops south to destroy Chen. At that time, I stood behind Yang Su, the Duke of Chu, and looked at the surging river, and I couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. The northern horses, the northern soldiers and horses have always been stronger than the southern soldiers and horses, and the boats and ships of the southerners have always been stronger than the northerners... But in that battle, the navy of the Sui Dynasty was like boiling soup and snow, smashing the southern Chen The navy was destroyed in one battle."

"Think about it, decades are actually a flick of a finger."

The old man smiled and sighed, but his face was not desolate.

"General, it's too windy on the river, you better stop talking, in case you get wind and cold, you haven't fully recovered... Xiaodi and Dugu specifically explained it when they sent people to deliver medicine last time." , you can no longer suffer from the wind and cold. If Xiaodi and Dugu were here, I would never promise you to personally protect the grain and go north."

Standing behind him on the far left is a middle-aged man who looks to be about 40 years old, very burly and sturdy.It's just that the frown is a little tight, and the wrinkles on the face have increased a lot

The old man smiled, looked back at three of his most loyal subordinates and said with a smile: "It's already here, why should I be afraid of the cold?"

He stroked the scars on his face slowly with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I wasn't afraid of death many years ago. What I'm afraid of now...is not being able to die before I die. Look at An Zhi and the others... An Zhi once said that nine out of ten unsatisfactory things happen in life. There are very few people like me who are old and successful, and when I think about the past in the dead of night, I don’t have much It's a pity... I'm a lucky person, but I'm a little bit reluctant, and I've lived a good life at this age."

He smiled and looked to the north: "I have to go and have a look, I hope my body can last until Anzhi kills the last enemy in the Central Plains."

……

……

"General, go back to the house."

Iron Wolf with a worried face said in a low voice.

The already skinny Daxi Changru slowly shook his head, smiled and said: "Don't persuade me any more, I know my own body well. You are all afraid that I will die if I get sick. Is it right to leave like this? But I know, if I don’t see the day when An Zhi dominates the world, how can I die?”

"Look again"

Pointing to the scenery on both sides of the river, he said: "The mountains and rivers are picturesque, but I haven't been able to take a good look at them. When I first led the army, I only thought about making meritorious deeds and killing enemies for the country every day. I sketched the mountains and rivers in my heart, but I only had blood red." Color. When I took refuge in Saibei, all I saw was hatred, and the blood in my eyes became more intense, so I didn’t know what appreciation was, and I didn’t know what enjoyment was.”

"In the past few years, I have been raised in Juye Ze, and I have also learned how to discover the beauty of this country. Speaking of it, it is still beautiful to be alive, so much so that now, I am a bit greedy for life..."

Chao Qiuge turned back and walked back to the room, hugged a felt blanket and covered Daxi Changru's lap: "General, if you are happy in your heart, then you can watch whatever you want, and do whatever you want .In a few days, Dugu will come to join us, and the four of us will accompany you when the time comes."

"Ha ha"

Daxi Changru said with a hearty smile: "Speaking of which, the four of you were inseparable from me when I was fleeing. Later, the days gradually became more comfortable, but it was very difficult for the four of you to get together. Dugu's temperament is not at all in the military inspection department. Not suitable, but those guys in the second part can't do without him. This time the four of you gathered together, I am also happy... I have no children in my life, and you are like my heirs. The last part of the journey is accompanied by the four of you, It’s also perfect.”

Although these words were said freely and freely, the three of them, including Tie Liaolang, felt a strong sadness in their hearts.

"It's been a dream these days."

Daxi Changru smiled and said: "When I close my eyes at night, I will dream of the battle when I left Honghua. Two thousand subordinates, three days of bloody battle... I don't know what happened. I have tried my best to think about it for the past 20 years. I can't even figure out the appearance of those brothers, but I can see it very clearly in my dreams these few days."

"Zhao Erhu"

He stretched out a finger: "I don't know how many arrows were shot in his body when he died. When he dragged his body out of the siege, the number of arrows gouged out of his body was too many to count... He is doing it for me. The one who blocked the arrow died, and followed me as a soldier for ten years. When I was the general manager, I tried to put him down several times to become a general, but he refused. He also said that he would eat delicious food with me, and he had to worry about being a general himself. , not worth it."

Daxi Changru was still smiling, but his dry eyes gradually became moist: "When Erhu was dying, he said, General... the most correct thing I have done in my life is to be by your side all the time. Leave. If I really listen to you and let go of being a general, who will defend you?"

He rubbed the sore corners of his eyes, and then stretched out his second finger: "Song Baocai... that guy is greedy for money, lustful and bad at gambling. There is nothing I like about him. When he was stationed in Yuyang County, he ran out at night I slept with a widow, and if you didn't stop me, I would have ordered his head to be chopped off. How many times has he been beaten for gambling and greedy money in those years when he was in the army?"

"But who would have thought that in the battle of Honghua, he had already withdrawn and went back to save the widow, and in the end he was divided by Turkic wolf riders... Even if he died, he also died in disobedience to the military order When he died, I still didn’t like him, and felt that he was not worthy of being a soldier. But now I think about the words he said to me before returning, when he got off his horse and kowtowed three times to me, I woke up... He is a man!"

"If I'm still reborn as a man in the next life, I'd like to be a pawn under the general again."

Dongfang Liehuo murmured what Song Baocai had said back then, with sad eyes: "I don't know now, when he went back to save that woman, and then the two of them died together...was it worth it?"

"value!"

Daxi Changru nodded: "Because he knows what he wants to protect."

After being silent for a while, Daxi Changru stretched out his third finger: "Tie Liaohu..."

Speaking of this name, Iron Wolf's body trembled violently.

"General, don't think about the past anymore."

He supported Daxi Changru's shoulder, but he didn't know that his shoulder was also shaking violently.

"He's a good boy."

Daxi Changru shook his head, tears could not hold back after all: "At the beginning I thought he had really surrendered, so I even beat you with twenty army sticks... the soldiers and generals under my command would rather The rule that death cannot be surrendered was broken by him. When he knelt down and begged for mercy, I really wanted to go back and kill him."

"But later..."

The corner of Daxi Changru's mouth curled up into a wry smile: "I just realized that I wronged him. After he surrendered, he volunteered to be a guide and lead the Turkic army into the pass, but he walked through Hulukou. A heavy snow covered Lin Shanyuan... In order to convince the Turkic people, he walked forward without looking back, and fell to death thousands of Turkic wolf riders in Linshanyuan, and his body is still buried under the deep stream."

Chao Qiuge knelt down on one knee and held Daxi Changru's hand to stop him from counting.

Daxi Changru felt warm in his heart, and patted the back of Chao Qiuge's hand: "The thing I am most happy about is that Anzhi built a cemetery in Chang'an. Not only the blood cavalry and the iron pagoda are buried , and erected a huge monument to commemorate the soldiers who died fighting against foreign enemies over the years, so I have no regrets in my heart... They all have their own graves, and after I die, I will be buried there."

"In the underworld, drink and chat with everyone."
