Chapter 77: The Duty of a King

The heavy snow finally covered the green mountains, and the green mountains turned white.

Yun Zhao's hut was quiet for three days.

This is Li Hongji's pomp.

Yun Zhao didn't care, Li Hongji was not in a hurry, he was even less anxious.

The army of Lantian County has cotton tents to live in, coal to keep warm, cotton armor under the iron armor, a huge fur hat on the head, two big ears on the hat to protect the face, and a thick layer of wool grass is placed inside the leather boots to dry and warm.

They have beef and mutton jerky to cook soup, locust powder to increase umami, if you want to eat millet steamed buns, you can eat millet steamed buns, if you want to eat millet rice, you can eat millet rice, guarding the leeward col, not caring about the cold.

Of course, Li Hongji's army is also prepared, that is, it is all carried by the body!

In the snowy weather, there is still wind, which is naturally very unfriendly to the body, and it is inevitable that there will be a few colds and fevers in the Yunzhao army, and as for Li Hongji's barracks, every day a carload of dead bodies that have been frozen to the ground can be pulled out of it.

The artillery pieces lined up on Pingyuan Avenue are not toys, and the snow-covered ground is not stable, and the scouts in Li Hongji's army have lost no less than 50 people.

This is the confidence of Yun Zhao to stop Li Hongji in Funiu Mountain for a month.

This time, Yun Zhao dispatched eighty percent of the troops in the Yunyang Corps, and the number was less than eight thousand, but Yun Zhao thought that these eight thousand soldiers were enough for Li Hongji to stop him.

Even if Li Hongji led an army of more than 200,000 troops, claiming to be 500,000, when Yun Zhao was backed by Funiu Mountain, Yun Zhao thought that this 8,000 all-firearms army could make Li Hongji shed enough blood.

A thinly clothed, trembling ranger walked into the valley.

"King Chuang invites the big boss to drink under the banner of the mountain at noon tomorrow."

After the ranger stumbled in Guanzhong, he closed his eyes and looked like he was waiting to die.

"Reward!"

After Yun Zhao listened to the little soldier's report, he returned to the hut.

Immediately, the Tsing Yi guards invited the soldiers to eat under the grass hut, the meal was stew, there was meat, frozen tofu, and even vermicelli cabbage, which was bubbling and bubbling, and there was a pot of warm wine on the side of the cauldron.

"Reward me?" At most, the little soldier was only fifteen or sixteen years old, swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and his eyes rolled to ask one of the Tsing Yi guards with the best face.

"Melon cowardice!"

The female Tsing Yi guard pressed the poor little soldier on the stool and continued: "Is home Yulin or Yan'an? ”

Xiao Bing wanted to eat it immediately, but the pair of dirty claws that stretched out made him extremely embarrassed, and he grabbed a handful of snow with a smiling face and rubbed his dirty hands hard.

"Yan'an's."

"Is there anyone else in the house?"

A young Tsing Yi guard brought seven millet buns and put them on the edge of the pot and asked casually.

"When I left, the dry grass in the field didn't grow, and there were two brothers at home, a sister-in-law and my father, and I didn't know if I was alive."

"Alive, but all gone to Ningxia, where there is water, the government will return the land, plough cattle, seeds, and it will be fine next year."

The older Tsing Yi guard saw that the little soldier's eyes were straight when he looked at the food on the table, so he slapped the naughty little girl, stuffed the chopsticks into the little soldier and said, "Eat quickly." ”

The little soldier smiled shyly at the two women with the same accent as the, and then began to eat ferociously......

A single pound of millet steamed buns was eaten seven by this guy, and most of the potted stews were eaten by him, and even the soup was dipped by him with millet steamed buns, only the pot of spirits did not move.

"I know you haven't eaten enough, but you can't eat any more, and if you eat again, your intestines will be broken, so sit down and rest for a while before leaving."

Xiao Bing sat straight on the bench motionless, and after two long burps, he dared to turn his head, looked at the elderly woman in Tsing Yi and said, "Sister, why did my father and mother leave Ningxia?" ”

The older woman threw an old cotton jacket to the little soldier and said, "It hasn't rained for six years, can Yan'an still live, don't you leave, wait to starve to death?" As long as you remember your father's name, you will definitely be able to find it in Ningxia Town in the future. ”

Helping Xiao Bing wrap the padded jacket, Xiao Bing's eyes were already filled with tears, and the behavior of the woman in Tsing Yi reminded him of his long-lost father and sister-in-law.

"Guanzhong is the best place in the world, what are you all running around?"

The little girl knelt on the stool on her knees, leaning on the table and looking curiously at this handsome but dirty fellow countryman.

"I didn't eat."

"Huh? How could there be no food? My family has a lot of food to eat, and when I came, the two bags of millet in the firewood room were plagued by rats, and my mother fed the dirty grain to the pigs.

My mother also said that this little food is worth something, and my father beat her. ”

The three of them chattered and gossiped under the shed for a long time, and when they saw that the snowflakes began to drift again, the little soldier stood up and said, "I'm leaving, I'm going to be beheaded if I go back late." ”

The older woman in Tsing Yi brought a few more millet buns and stuffed them to Xiao Bing, but the little girl took out a few colorful sugars from her arms and gave them to Xiao Bing.

"Don't stay in Guanzhong, but you want to be a thief."

Xiao Bing's body shook a little, and slowly climbed on the horse's back, and the war horse began to move, Xiao Bing suddenly burst into tears, turned his head to look at the elderly woman in Tsing Yi and said, "Sister, I won't go back, okay?" ”

The little girl immediately clapped her hands and said, "Do you want to go back and suffer?" Just stay here, do those thieves still dare to ask my young master for someone? ”

Xiao Bing smiled when he heard this, wiped his tears and said, "I have a few brothers who are still over there, and I want to bring them all over." ”

The older woman in Tsing Yi shook her head and said: "Don't do this, if you want to go home, you will naturally know to go back, if you don't want to go home, you will force them to come, and it will hurt you, so you can keep it, and let others do their own things." ”

The little soldier turned over and dismounted, and said to the elderly woman in Tsing Yi, "I'll stay." ”

The little girl was very happy, and shouted at Yun Yang, who was dozing under the eaves of the distant roof, "I captured a little soldier alive!" ”

Yun Yang didn't raise his eyelids, and said casually: "Get out!" ”

Yang Xiong witnessed all this with his own eyes, thought for a while and said to Yun Yang: "I think there is a lot to be done, Guanzhong people should return to Guanzhong, what do you think of my slogan?" ”

"When the two armies are facing each other, what are you going to do?"

Yang Xiong said: "Soldiers are not tired of cheating, so I think it is reasonable to do anything in front of the two armies." ”

"You still have to think more about how to ensure the safety of the county tomorrow."

Yang Xiong sneered: "As long as it is within the range of the cannon, the county is as stable as Mount Tai." ”

The next day, Yun Zhao came to the wild boar as promised, and someone had already set up a shed here, and there was a fire burning in the shed, although it was cold and windy outside, it was still warm inside.

Yun Zhao looked up at his wild boar flag for a long time, the wild boar depicted on it looked a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that when his big wild boar was young, it was just a mouthful of fangs added to it.

Li Hongji was sitting in the shed, the felt hat with red tassels on his head had become his symbol, dressed in blue, and he didn't mean to get up when he saw Yun Zhao coming, but a pair of tiger eyes kept falling on Yun Zhao.

Liu Zongmin stood outside the shed, wearing a cloak and standing in the snow like a statue.

Yun Yang was not as stupid as Liu Zongmin, as Yun Zhao entered the shed, squatted in front of the fire and found that there was hot grass and wood ash, and immediately took out a few sweet potatoes and buried them in the ashes.

Yun Zhao sat opposite Li Hongji, and the two looked at each other for a long time before they arched their hands in unison and said, "Long Yang, Long Yang." ”

"You occupy Guanzhong, which is my hometown." Li Hongji's hands were extremely thick, and the armrests of the chair almost wrapped the arc at the front of the armrests.

"Guanzhong is also my home, if you trace back to my ancestors, my Yun clan can be traced back to a thousand years ago, so it is natural for me to occupy Guanzhong."

"Yan'an, Yulin, Suide give it to me."

Li Hongji's voice was low, and there was a sense in it that no one could refuse.

"Northern Shaanxi doesn't give it!"

"Then let Shang Luo Dao pass through my army."

"Shang Luo Dao won't give it either!"

"In that case, can I take Hanzhong?"

"Hanzhong doesn't give it either! Let's put it this way, the line I drew for you at the beginning is still valid today, the outside of the line is yours, and the inside of the line is mine, and I have never been in the habit of sharing things with others, so to speak, does King Chuang understand? ”

"Good! The Yun clan is really domineering, since you refuse to take out the things you have at hand and let my generation of green forest heroes share them, then, Funiu Mountain is not your territory, what is the reason why you are here now? ”

Yun Zhao stood up and said leisurely: "This world is actually a place that pays attention to strength, as long as King Chuang's strength is enough, you don't have to care about Yun, whether it is northern Shaanxi, or Shangluo Dao, or Hanzhong, Funiu Mountain, all of them are at the mercy of King Chuang."

Even if King Chuang is interested in Lantian County, he can take it.

The reason why King Chuang still wants to discuss with me is that he can't take it away.

Since King Chuang can't take it away, Yun Zhao will naturally gain an inch, now, I said that Funiu Mountain is also my territory, what about King Chuang? ”

Li Hongji said with a smile: "The big boss is a way to only care about walking for himself and not giving others a way to live. ”

Yun Zhao said with a smile: "You and I have done a lot of things that are disapproving in the world, this time Yun only wants to leave King Chuang in Funiu Mountain for a month, and has no other intentions." ”

Li Hongji said: "The Yellow River will thaw in two months, do you think you can keep Luoyang and Kaifeng with a Yellow River?" If you can keep Kaifeng for a year, can you still keep Kaifeng for a lifetime?

This king has repeatedly fallen into a desperate situation, and has repeatedly survived in desperate situations, this is the will of heaven is endless, and your Yun clan is now acting against the sky, are you not afraid of ending up with a dead family? ”

Yun Zhao smiled, stood up and looked at the raging fire between the two of them, and said softly: "You hate the emperor, that's right, it's not wrong for you to kill officials and rebel, the question is, can you see if there are wolves around you when you are doing these things."

You want to sit on the emperor's throne, I have no opinion, but do you know what kind of responsibility that seat represents?

You don't understand!

You just know that sitting in that position will dominate the world, you will be rich, you will be beautiful, have you thought about anything else?

Now that poor emperor in the Forbidden City, he knows more than you, he can move to Nanjing, why does he have to defend Shuntianfu?

Li Gou'er, today I will teach you a new word - the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!

From this point of view alone, the person you call the faint king, although you have been forced by you to face the dilemma of life and death, has never forgotten that there is a hungry wolf watching this great tomorrow outside the Shanhai Pass. ”
