Chapter 179: Han people from afar
The spring wind has lost its coolness, and it has a more fresh breath, which is very comfortable to blow on people.
The city of Nanlangzhou was very small, and tens of thousands of Song soldiers and people could not fit it in the city at all, and most of them were still camped outside the city, enjoying the joy of victory by bonfire.
Large vats of wine were brought up, and the crispy stewed meat was piled up like a mountain, and it was placed in the middle of the crowd for everyone to enjoy as they pleased.
People who knew each other got together, shouted loudly about their achievements during the day, poured a sip of wine from time to time, and ate a mouthful of meat, infecting the entire sky of Langzhou with a lively atmosphere.
Xu Ping, Shi Quanbin, Sang Yi, Gao Daquan and other important officers sat on the city tower, watching the lively scene around the state city, and had a happy celebration banquet together.
The evening breeze blew through the city, bringing the laughter and laughter of the soldiers outside the city, and even the warmth of the bonfire outside the city, blowing on Xu Ping's face.
At this moment, Xu Ping was in a bit of a trance, and suddenly forgot that he was in this world, as if he had seen the scene in the film and television screen in his previous life.
"Yun Xing, why don't you speak? What comes to mind? ”
Hearing Shi Quanbin's shout, Xu Ping came back to his senses and said with a smile: "What can you think?" I always feel that this battle is too easy to win, and there is a feeling of unreality. ”
"Winning is winning, where is there so much emotion? You readers, your mind is delicate, and somehow you want to go to the edge of the sky! If you want me to say, just celebrate tonight! ”
Shi Quanbin was more excited than Xu Ping, and he really should be excited. It's just a matter of coming out to deliver a decree, and it doesn't matter if you know that you will encounter such a big war. Although he was just a bystander, when he returned to the palace and told the officials, he also had merit. With this experience, it is not certain when it will work in the future. Seeing the opportunity, he went out of the palace to bring a few years of soldiers, and also mixed a regiment to practice assassination.
Shi Quanbin's grandfather, Shi Zhihao, was appointed as an internal servant, and was in charge of the military and horse affairs of the Goulin Mansion Road in Daizhou, and was also the commander of the frontier army. It's a pity that he died in the third year of Tianxi, Shi Quanbin has no backer, and he has worked hard all these years. The so-called family history. When did he become a military commander, his ancestors also had face.
Xu Ping just laughed when he heard Shi Quanbin's words, although he was born as a first-class jinshi, he really didn't have any literati atmosphere on his body, he just remembered the events of his previous life.
Raising his glass, Xu Ping said: "Everyone, today's big victory, southern Xinjiang will be peaceful from now on." I have been working hard in this miasma for several years, and today I have achieved a successful result. The upper level to the country and the lower level to Li Min can be regarded as having an explanation. As an official, for the benefit of one party, it has not been wasted in the past few years. Fill this cup! ”
Everyone drank it together, Tan Hu took the soldiers to fill the wine, and Xu Ping took a few glasses of wine.
Shi Quanbin pointed to the earthen walls on both sides of the city and said, "It's a pity that it took so much thought. It's just a pity that 20,000 soldiers and horses were wiped out in Jiaozhi. ”
"What a pity? 20,000 soldiers and horses. Don't look at today's ease, if we hadn't put a lot of thought into it before, if the two armies were really facing each other, I don't know how much we would have to pay! The soldiers who participated in the war today should be grateful to these two earthen walls. In the future, this wall will remain here, which can be regarded as a memorial. ”
I saw Xu Ping's face flushed. Shi Quanbin knew that he also had a desire to drink, and he didn't distinguish it.
A crescent moon rose shyly and timidly from the east, and a faint moonlight shrouded the Langzhou Basin.
Xu Ping turned his head to look at the two earthen walls under the city, his heart moved, and he said to Shi Quanbin: "Pavilion Chief." In fact, these two earthen walls are left here, and they may be useful in the future. ”
"What's the use? Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have been lost, do you dare to come to Langzhou? ”
Xu Ping said: "It will come inevitably." ”
Seeing Shi Quanbin's disbelieving face, Xu Ping smiled and said, "The pavilion chief forgot, this is Langzhou!" Our Great Song Dynasty occupies Langzhou, and there will be no more peaceful days in Thang Long Mansion, how can they be willing. ”
Speaking of this, the smile on Xu Ping's face became thicker, and he continued to say: "If there is no Langzhou, the northern part of Jiaozhi, beyond the Fuliang River, Jiaozhi will not be able to control it." With Livermar's temperament, how could he endure such a situation? Therefore, Jiaozhi will inevitably send troops. ”
Seeing that Xu Ping was drunk, everyone else nodded in agreement, although they didn't believe it in their hearts. What is the concept of annihilating 20,000 soldiers and horses in World War I? The mobile force that currently guards the royal city is only 50,000.
Xu Ping didn't think about this, he looked at the surrounding mountains under the moonlight, and inexplicably remembered the war that happened here in his previous life, and his expression was really a little trance-like.
"Jiaozhi sent troops, we will defend here, the fortifications are complete, even if they send troops to the country, they may not be able to get here. One attack and one defense, fighting for ten or eight years, do you think we can exhaust all the troops in Jiaozhi? The Great Song Dynasty has a large number of people, and the soldiers in Yongzhou are lacking, so the soldiers from Guizhou can be transferred, and there will be two or three states in a year, and it will take ten years to turn the states on the West Road of Guangnan. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Ping stood up, leaned on the city wall, looked at the earthen wall fortifications under the city, and said loudly: "If the Jiaozhi people are interested in fighting with us like this, then call this battle the Langzhou Round Battle!" ”
Shi Quanbin looked at Sang Yi and the others, shook his head and laughed together, and ignored Xu Ping going crazy.
From Pingxiangtong to Pingxiangtong, Xu Ping was following the steps of the counterattack in his previous life, intentionally or unintentionally, and everything went smoothly beyond his imagination. Suddenly came to this point, and on this night when the spring breeze was drunk, I somehow remembered the aftermath of that war.
The terrain here is open, there is no shortage of materials, and the conditions are much better than the cat ear piercings of the year. I don't know if the Jiaozhi people will be so persistent with their descendants, and they will fight here for ten or eight years. After the counterattack, how good it would be to fight another ten years of round battles, it is estimated that there will be no one in Jiaozhi there.
A breeze blew, Xu Ping shook his head, and finally came to his senses. It's easy to move clearly, I'm really crazy today, and I can't think about it. Jiaozhi people are crazy to attack here year after year, this era Jiaozhi is only half of the area of the country in later generations, and the total population is not comparable to Liangguang, where there is capital to spend here, and the country is empty after two wars.
Breathing at the crescent moon on the horizon, Xu Ping turned around and said to a few people: "I haven't drunk the wine at home for a few years, but I'm not used to it, and I will be dizzy after two glasses." Come, the war between the left and right is over, and there will be no major events in the future, and you won't get drunk tonight! ”
The wine brewed by Xu Ping's family brought by Shi Quanbin was drunk on the upper floor of the city, which was much more mellow than the local wine in Yongzhou, and everyone let go of their mood, talking and laughing until late at night.
Out of Langzhou to the south, there are several small Tuzhou belonging to Jiaozhi, Wu'e Prefecture and Tangzhou in the Tang Dynasty. Especially in the territory of the former Tangzhou, because there are no mountains in the territory, and it is not as swampy as in the south, many Han people from the Central Plains have gathered for thousands of years, and they have multiplied from generation to generation.
Hewan Village is close to the river, and the north is a gentle hill, which is a good pattern for the mountains and water.
Under the big banyan tree at the head of the village, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, a group of children surrounded an old man and chirped: "Pingbo, Pingbo, tell us the story of the last time we went to the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
The old man smiled kindly, looked up at the northern sky, and began to tell the story that he had told many times.
(Headache, bad state, I feel like it's going to be bad if I write again, that's all for today, forgive me.) (To be continued.) )
