Liyang is located in the Jianghuai water and land rush, where the north and south hedge and use troops, the first choice here. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The river turns to the north and south and flows, called the Hengjiang River, once the river is crossed, it is the fertile soil of the Jiangdong Pingchuan, from which it sweeps to the east, and Jiankang can be reached overnight, and it can be called the land of the gateway of the Jiangdong Domain.

In addition to its own shape and geography, Liyang is also one of the few fertile places in the north of the river, within Zhaoguan, under Tianmen Mountain, the fertile soil is continuous, the water is clear and the fields are beautiful, and it is called the land of fish and rice.

Today's Liyang has a slightly different style than in the old days. Although Su Jun, the Duke of Shaoling, who guarded this place, was prosperous, his civil rule was inevitably slightly inferior. From the west bank of the river to the land, there is a continuous barracks, and there is almost no edge in sight. Many of the former military cantonments were deserted, and the ditches built in the early years had been filled with weeds, and now they were used only as pastures for horses, and the grass was littered with all kinds of discarded ordnance.

In the remote area outside the barracks, there are continuous shacks, where a large number of Nandu refugees live, because there are no acres of land in the Liyang region, and the county government has no time to organize resettlement, so they can only stay here for a long time. As for the source of their livelihood, on the one hand, they forage for food in the wilderness, and on the other hand, they have to work for the county government and the military to barely make ends meet, and their life can be described as extremely difficult.

For those who have been forcibly detained here, the best way to improve their survival is to be drafted into the military. But the most indispensable thing in the Liyang Army is the elite soldiers, how can ordinary people be easily selected. As a result, the vast majority of people can only hope that the generals will drive them into the mountains to cut down trees or wade through canals in exchange for a meager ration. But if they can't even do these hard work, the old, weak, sick and disabled can only lie in the shack and wait for death.

From time to time, soldiers whistling through the wilderness, no matter where they hunted, it was a disaster for the displaced people there. Large numbers of people were driven into the wilderness, and groups of people drove their prey together, and in the process, many people naturally died under the claws of prey.

If these people who died unexpectedly have relatives in their families who can collect their corpses, the middle class ones are exposed to the wilderness, decaying with the grass and trees, and the white bones of the forest are displayed in the weeds for a long time. As for the worst, the bodies were all picked up and washed and placed in boiling soup as rations, and there were no dead bodies.

The two worlds in the wilderness and inside and outside are the luxurious garden villas of the commanders and generals located around the county town. Although the people's livelihood in Liyang is withering, it is not that there is no way to make money, Liyang itself has a rich natural environment, good bamboo and wood all over the mountains, as well as a variety of minerals that can be smelted and cast, as well as abundant labor force that is almost completely costless, which is enough to make people earn a lot of money.

What's more, in the early years, when Liyang and the center were not yet at odds, a large number of ordnance, rice, grain, baggage and other material resources were continuously transported here, which was transferred north to Yuzhou and made huge profits. Therefore, the richness of the eunuchs of the Liyang generals is really not enough for outsiders.

However, with the passage of time, the privileged and transcendent status of Liyang in the early years gradually disappeared, and the most significant change was that the boats and boats that came from Gyeonggi to transport baggage gradually became scarce. And as the eyes of those who are not lacking in malice elsewhere are focused on this, the situation in Liyang gradually becomes embarrassed. This is gradually unbearable for those homeless handsomes who are used to the leisurely years of the past.

More than ten miles away from the south of Liyang County, there is an extremely open mountain col, where the flag is unfurled, the camp is layered, the armor is strict, there is a grand building on the hillside in the middle of the place, it is the current champion general, the big tent of the Chinese army in the history of Liyang. There are more than 5,000 soldiers stationed here all year round, which are the elite soldiers in the Liyang Army.

Inside the gate is several long rejection horses, hundreds of soldiers are stationed here, strictly check the entry and exit of people, etc. The armor of the forest, the cold soldiers, and the strong and burly physique make people shudder.

After the rejection of the horses was a well-groomed camp, one of which was a flat and wide gallop road leading to the Chinese army's tent, and on both sides of the avenue were connected to the various camps. Fireproof sand was always available on the trail near the tents, and various ordnance was piled up in the open space between the camps. When there is no training or assignment, the non-commissioned officers stay in the camp tent to recuperate, or under the organization of the chief and the captain, they carry out some games with military characteristics.

There is a huge school field near the Chinese army, and above the school field is a point general platform based on earth and stone. Diagonally opposite, there is the execution ground that exudes a cold and bloody atmosphere. Now on the execution ground, there are nearly 20 people who have their arms cut off and their chests exposed, kneeling there, their hair tied with hemp rope tied to the beam above.

Some of these soon-to-be-tortured people were discouraged and trembling, while others had fierce eyes and scolded, and many foul words and slang were unbearable. However, no matter how these people gestured or reacted, it was difficult to shake the hearts of those who were executed.

As the daylight gradually shifted to the field, a prison general shouted, "Behead! ”

The sword light flickered, blood burst out, and more than twenty heads were suddenly thrown into the air and pulled on the beam. Under the messy hair, there is still a frightened expression left in life, and the picture is terrible! And below, the blood in the chest cavity of those headless corpses gushed out more than half a foot high, and the torture platform was poured full of plasma without a twist! After a long time, the body slowly collapsed in a pool of blood.

"Pass on the head of the battalion!"

As the general shouted, a group of knights galloped forward, and with a wave of bamboo spears in their hands, they pierced the bloody heads on the bamboo spears, and then rushed to the camps. The pioneer in front of him shouted loudly while beating the copper drum: "If you don't ambush the military order, those who leave the camp without permission will be punished by military law!" ”

When the soldiers in the camp heard this shout, they poked their heads out one after another, and saw the heads that were still dripping blood plasma on the bamboo spears, and their faces were vaguely familiar, and they all shuddered and were silent.

At this time, in the big tent of the Chinese army, the atmosphere was also solemn, and two shirtless strong men knelt under the hall with their arms cut by ox tendons. And everyone in the hall sat down, or stared at these two people fiercely, their eyes were full of resentment, and some of them were unbearable, as if they felt sorry for these two people.

There was a middle-aged man sitting in the hall, different from the others in full armor, wearing only a gray suit, it was Su Jun, the commander of this place. Different from the rumored, heroic and brave image of outsiders, Su Jun himself has a long beard fluttering, facing square, majestic and elegant, quite a bit of celebrity style. But if anyone in the battle array underestimates him because of this, most of them will be hated by the invincible lance!

The face is like this, but Su Jun's mood can hardly be called indifferent, his eyes are staring at the two people who are bound in the hall, and there is no lack of cold resentment in his eyes. Seeing his appearance, everyone in the hall did not dare to say more, and sat upright, with a solemn expression.

After a long while, Su Jun sneered, and this sneer alone made people indifferent. Especially the two people in the hall, they couldn't help but shudder, their heads lowered and their foreheads pressed against the ground, not daring to look up.

"When did you two follow me?"

After sneering, Su Jun slowly spoke in the hall.

When the two of them heard this question, they were a little stunned, thinking that the general was going to talk about the old feelings, and they suddenly felt a sense of joy in their hearts, and they hurriedly spoke: "When the lord ran south to Guangling, my brother heard that the lord was brave and able to fight, and led more than a thousand township parties to throw from Huai to the right to protect the lord's wings, and it has been nearly ten years......"

"It's been ten years, how many more decades can you have in life?"

Hearing these two answers, Su Jun stroked his beard and sighed, looking quite melancholy.

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that Su Jun was nostalgic for the old things, as if he was haunted by the old feelings. However, a young man in the middle of the banquet said quickly: "These two people fled with the crowd, contrary to military law, and must not be spared, father!" ”

The person who spoke was Su Shuo, the son of Su Jun, but as soon as he spoke, Su Jun's sharp eyes swept over coldly, and he said in a deep voice: "Among the Chinese army, who is your father?" Get down, unload your armor and receive the penalty! ”

"Lord, Da Lang, he's just ......"

Han Huang on the other side of the banquet opened his mouth, wanting to intercede for Su Shuo, but as soon as he spoke, Su Jun turned his eyes to him again, and his heart was terrified, so he could only shut up.

"In ten years, spring bamboo shoots can be ten feet, and children have become strong men. Why do you two follow me for so long, why do you still not know each other? ”

Turning his gaze back to the two of them, Su Jun said with emotion: "You have followed me for several years, have you ever been rewarded?" Have you ever been convicted without fault? Or have I ever done you both? ”

"The Lord is gracious, and the rewards and punishments are clear......"

"Why, then, did you forsake me?"

Hearing the two answers, Su Jun laughed at himself, and then asked again.

"I, I ......"

When the two men heard this, they couldn't help but be speechless. What is the situation of Liyang now, everyone knows that since this year, the escapees have been repeatedly banned. The two of them were too unlucky, and they were captured again, even though they were thinking about it in their hearts, it was not good to say it directly at the moment.

"Ha, I only treat each other sincerely, push me and others, but people can miss me and not give up on each other, it turns out that this is just my own extravagant hope, stupid."

When he said this, Su Jun's expression became more and more gloomy, and he was a little self-abandoning.

However, when the other people in the hall heard this, they could not be indifferent, and they stood up in the middle of the banquet, bowed their heads and said: "We have all received the grace of the Lord, and we will never turn our backs on each other in life and death!" ”

What's more, he has stepped forward to grab the two people, and said angrily: "Such perverse people are powerful and attached, weakened and abandoned, and everyone spits on them!" Even if military law can live, human feelings are intolerable, and it should be circumcised to show the public, which is not enough to comfort people! ”

Hearing this, the faces of the two people changed greatly, and they slammed their heads on the ground and shouted, "The lord spares his life......

"Spare your life? I want to hear it, why do you want me to forgive? ”

"The two of us have followed the lord for many years, and they have not dared to quit their work. Every time there is a battle, I forget my life and kill the enemy first. Even if the old honor is not expressed, the old feelings are not recounted, and the sickness and weakness are stopped, but they want to return to their hometown to survive......"

Listening to the sad voices of these two people, Su Jun's eyes were faintly gloomy, such a remark was not what he wanted to say. However, so what?

"Pull it down, leave it all behind."

He waved his hand and whispered, watching the two of them howl and be escorted down the hall by their own soldiers, but his expression was quite lazy.
