Chapter 43 Justification

The army of 10,000 people alone divided half of the people to Chuzhou to receive supplies, and the remaining 5,000 men and horses went down the river in a boat and rushed directly to Yongzhou.

Here I have to say that the economic prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty is very reasonable, and the shipping is too developed. The waterway is close to the borders of most towns, and although there is still some way to get off the boat, it is much easier than walking on your feet.

Su Songda kept silent about this issue after catching up from Tokyo.

From Kaifeng to Yongzhou, the road is long. Once upon a time, it was a place of exile.

Many people died in the middle of the road because they were not adapted. Su Song is so old, he really can't afford to toss this toss.

However, the old man was stubborn, and Tang Ning persuaded him, but he didn't listen. Cheng Yang advised, but he didn't listen. The family persuaded them, but they couldn't persuade them. So much so that Zhao Xu was later alarmed, and the old man actually used himself to make a water transportation armillary instrument to invite credit, and asked Zhao Xu to leave him alone.

The matter has come to this, and Zhao Xu has nothing to do. just sent three letters in a row, instructing Tang Ning to take care of Su Song and not let this old man who has been loyal to the country all his life encounter any accidents on the way.

Therefore, Tang Ning wanted to find out why Su Song had to go to Yongzhou, and Cheng Yang was even more curious about it.

Su Song had been silent before, no matter how he asked, he didn't say anything. Now that he arrived in Chuzhou, the old man suddenly spoke, and Tang Ning outside the carriage also heard it clearly.

Before setting out, Tang Ning investigated the historical background of Cochin. Among them, the battle between Song and Yue twenty-five years ago is the most eye-catching.

Li Changjie, the general of the unified army in Jiaozhi, led a large army into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the troops were divided into two routes, all the way to Yongzhou and all the way to Lianzhou.

The governor of Lianzhou, who defended Lianzhou, surrendered without even much resistance, and the same was true of Qinzhou. Only Su Xuan, the governor of Yongzhou, led the army to resist desperately for 42 days, and finally died alone.

100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty died at the hands of the Jiaozhi people, this is a national enemy and family hatred, and no one dares to forget it easily. Even if he killed Prince Hongzhen and Prince Zhaowen later, he couldn't calm the anger in everyone's hearts.

But for more realistic reasons, the battle could not continue.

At that time, Su Song learned that his cousin and his cousin's family had died heroically in this battle, and only his nephew Su Ziyuan, who was an official in Guizhou, was spared. He was extremely grief-stricken, and under the persuasion of his family, he did not cut his face with a knife, but he also secretly resolved that he would not avenge this revenge and swear not to be a man.

After that, Su Song desperately climbed to the heights, just to grasp the right to speak, so as to avenge his cousin's family.

But it backfired, and after more than ten years passed, Su Song was dragged down by busy work. He took on the task of manufacturing a water transport armillary sphere, and he took care of his cousin's business

Love is buried deep in the stomach.

Soon after the manufacture of the water transport armillary sphere was completed, it was time for Zhao Xu to be in power. Su Song's phase was also replaced by Zhang, and he resigned three years ago due to old age, and lived in Jingkou with the post of Zhongtai Yigong.

Wang Zhongxian would definitely not let go of such an excellent manpower, and hurriedly went to Jingkou County, which is not far away, and respectfully invited Su Song to Danyang County, that is, the governance office of Runzhou.

invited him to teach in the academy, and in general, Su Song's old age life was quite satisfactory.

However, whenever he saw the spiritual position of his cousin in the family, Su Song always felt sad. But he has resigned and retired, he has no influence, seeing that there is no hope of revenge in this life, when he was drinking, he heard his friend Zhou Huai say that his apprentice was about to lead the troops to fight in Jiaozhi.

As soon as he heard this, Su Song's eyes turned red. When I got home that night, I began to pack my luggage and hurried to Kaifeng. entrusted his current nephew, Su Ziyuan, a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, to help him ask to see the official family.

Su Ziyuan, who lived in Kaifeng, was surprised when he saw his cousin coming. I heard that my cousin was going to see the official family, and I was even more puzzled. When I asked, I found out that Uncle Cousin wanted to go with the army.

Is this worth it? Su Ziyuan shook his head vigorously, but everyone knew what happened after that, Su Ziyuan did not persuade him, and Zhao Xu did not persuade him, and Su Song still appeared in the army of Jiaozhi.

"All in all, this is probably the old man's last chance. If you miss it this time, under Jiuquan, what face does the old man have to face the ancestors of the Su family? What kind of face do you have to face my cousin's family?!

If you can't watch the thief die, the old man will die, and he won't be able to close his eyes! ”

Slowly finished telling the ins and outs, and in the end, the old man was already revealing his true feelings and tears.

Tang Ning had been listening from the side of the carriage, and after listening, he felt a lot.

Su Mu is a hero, but Su Song is a scientist. One has long been ready to die on the battlefield, while the other has been engaged in scientific research in the rear.

Even so, Su Song had to bite the bullet to avenge his cousin. Family affection is so valued in this era.

"I see." After listening to Su Song's words, Cheng Yang let out a long breath. took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it over, and said with emotion: "If this is the case, the old man can understand."

The old man's parents left too early, and the old man didn't know if he had a younger brother or an older brother. However, the old man can still understand Lord Su's mood.

Because the old man also once thought that if the old man had a younger brother, then no matter who bullied him, the old man would come to the door to seek justice for him! ”

Tang Ning, who has long been accustomed to lifting the bar with Cheng Yang

I really want to say the last sentence, what if the emperor bullies your brother?

However, there was still a third party present, and Tang Ning decided to let the process go magnanimously.

But just after listening to Su Song tell such a long story, Tang Ning still couldn't help but speak by himself. Stretched out his hand to pull the curtain, and said with a serious face: "Don't worry! Sue-sama! Wait for the juniors to smash the Shenglong Mansion this time, capture that Li Gande alive, and let you dispose of it, Lord Su! ”

Originally, he was rude to Tang Ning, and Su Song frowned and wanted to teach him a lesson. But then as soon as he heard Tang Ning's words, he said excitedly: "Really?!" ”

"Really!" Tang Ning nodded vigorously.

Just as the two of them were eyebrows, Cheng Yang on the side coughed and said, "Uh...... Let's talk about that then...... After all, this Li Qiande is also a royal family, even if the two of them kill him, they can't torture him......"

Tang Ning smiled and said very gloomily: "Don't worry, old man, I promise not to torture him." ”

Su Song saw Tang Ning's smile darkly, and his heart was very happy. Nodding vigorously, he said, "Okay!" That old man is a guarantor! When the people are in your hands, they will be handed over directly to the old man for disposal. When the time comes, the old man personally killed him, and he was beheaded by General Tang! ”

"......" Cheng Yang really has nothing to say, Tang Ning himself will forget it, this kid will be honest when he cleans up by himself.

But this Su Song, he is not qualified to move others. Although the official family is retired, he also has a knighthood. Moreover, people have worked hard for the Great Song Dynasty, and he is just an emperor's chamberlain, so there is really no comparison.

Not to mention the seniority, although they are all bad old men, they are older than themselves. If he cleans him up, Tang Ning, the bastard, promises to scold himself for not being good.

Headache. Cheng Yang rubbed his temples, Li Gande is also a royal family anyway. Whether it is the Great Song Dynasty or any other emperor, as long as they do not respect the imperial family, they will give people a handle.

Alas, that's fine. When the time comes, let's see the opportunity to act, it's really not good, I will find the people from the Wude Division in the army, take them away, and secretly transport them to Kaifeng, won't it be fine?

Before you know it, it's getting dark. On the way forward of the Zhenjiang army, they saw the familiar outline of Yinling Mountain. This is Downing's fourth visit, and the scenery still doesn't seem to have changed.

Qi Fu had disappeared since the morning, and after entering the boundary of Chuzhou, this kid began to be restless. Tang Ning simply asked him to go to Yinling Temple first, and saw the lover he was thinking about day and night.

At the foot of Yinling Mountain, let all the soldiers camp in place and rest, Tang Ning proposed to go to Yinling Town to have a look.

Cheng Yang and Su Song readily agreed, so the group headed towards Yinling Town.
