Chapter 242: Dongpo Drumming. Yang Yi dancing the sword
***
The blow to Western Xia was no less than the Battle of Huanzhou a few months ago, when both Renduo Baozhong and Wei Ming Ah Wu were captured, which was tantamount to breaking the spiritual backbone of the Xia army.
When the news reached Xingqing Mansion, the Western Xia government and the opposition were in an uproar, and the Empress Dowager Liang cried in the court regardless of her image! It was as if the sky had fallen.
The political situation in Western Xia is once again violently turbulent, and the reshuffle of the military regime will lead to what kind of drastic changes, no one can predict, in the short term, Liang Gefang must be the biggest beneficiary!
Empress Dowager Liang has no way out, and the purge of all party departments again and again has made her and the party departments have no room for compromise, once she loses the power in her hands, she has only a dead end! In this case, she could only try her best to rely on her mother's family and control the military and political affairs of Western Xia.
The Liang family stands at the top of the power of the Western Xia, but after all, the bottom is the party members, and you can govern the Western Xia well, but if the Western Xia is tossed like this, how long can the party members endure the tolerance of the Liang family?
Now that the earth is frozen, it is impossible to start a large-scale war. Moreover, if the Western Xia was attacked immediately, it would be easy to provoke the Western Xia to fight, and the Empress Dowager Liang also had more reason to transfer the domestic contradictions to the outside, after all, although the party departments hated the Liang family, they did not want the Western Xia to die.
Therefore, rushing to attack Western Xia may have helped Empress Dowager Liang, so let the storm inside Western Xia slowly brew!
Renduo Baozhong, Wei Ming Ah Wu, and Princess Yilan of Western Xia were all escorted back to Tokyo, and it is not known how the imperial court will deal with it.
When Yang Yi led the army back to Huanzhou, the people of Huanzhou, who got the news in advance, helped the old and the young, and came to greet them. The enthusiasm of the scene was beyond Yang Yi's expectations, many girls were bold, and even more unexpectedly, one person took the lead, and they hugged him in groups, red silk knots hung on him and horses, and many fresh fruits that were rare in winter kept stuffing him; A piece or arrogant, or simple, or gentle flowers, all with a shy and excited look, a moment of fragrant wind, warblers and swallows reflect each other.
Yang Yi kept nodding with a smile, in order to live up to the good intentions of the girls, he stuffed the fresh fruit in his hand into his mouth, and was about to take a bite, but found that it was a round rouge box, and couldn't help but smile embarrassedly.
The girls gathered around the horses all laughed and folded their waists, and the people on the periphery also laughed good-naturedly.
"Soldiers! Dismount all! Yang Yijun gave the order, and the soldiers who went out with him jumped off their horses one after another.
"In order to repay the people, the city came to greet and salute!"
Including Yang Yi, more than 1,000 soldiers struck their armor in unison and gave a military salute to the people of the city, and thousands of people spontaneously bowed in return, just like the wheat waves on the field were blown by the wind, and the waves were undulating.
Su Dongpo took Mei Zhengqing, these Huanzhou officials, and all of them went out of the city to greet him, and several large bowls of spirits made Yang Yi's face flushed, and when he opened his mouth and spit out, he was arrogant!
Qing Niang also came with the white wolf, standing in the snow like a graceful and clear wind lotus!
Yang Yi ignored her struggles and hugged her onto his war horse, Yang Yi led the horse, and Qing Niang sat on the horse looking embarrassed and uneasy; Yang Yi still has the girls wearing red silk on his body, and it is also right away, this scene is as if the groom is leading the horse to pick up the bride through the door. The people of the city let out bursts of good-natured laughter again.
Qing Niang's face was hot with shame, and her mantis was low to her chest, but her heart was oozing with a trace of sweetness! From time to time, he quietly glanced at Yang Yi, and his eyes were like autumn water!
That night, Huanzhou Xidaying cooked cattle and slaughtered sheep to celebrate, and those wineries in the city sent a large number of wines, Yang Yi accepted them first, and then compensated.
Su Dongpo and a number of civil officials also came to the camp, and Chen Jichang and a large group of city gentry also came to congratulate; Yang Yi did not refuse to come, including many ordinary people who came, teachers and students in the state school, and Nong Shiqiu and other scholars who could not linger in Huanzhou, all of them were put into the camp, and they simply came to a military and civilian party!
Bonfires burned on the school grounds, and the cold of the winter night was dispelled by a heat wave, and the soldiers who participated in the assault were surrounded in the middle to tell everyone about this classic cavalry raid.
This rush battle violated ordinary military common sense, but it was precisely because it violated common sense and put 8,000 men and horses to death and survived that it achieved such brilliant results and became a classic!
Every time the soldiers talked about the nervousness, the listeners all held their breath, so nervous that their fingers turned white, and when Yang Yi shouted "to live together, to die together", and then fought back to the enemy position, many people had tears in their eyes, and their chests were like pressing blocks.
When it comes to the Song army's courage to break through tens of thousands of Xia troops with the courage to die, there will be bursts of cheers!
The whole camp was cheering and screaming, and the cold wave of the harsh winter was dispelled by the enthusiasm of the people! Only the scene of celebration in full swing remains, the soldiers in the army are singing and dancing by the fire, the piano and the sheng song are endless, after the cattle and sheep are roasted on the fire, the person holding the knife cuts off the pieces and distributes them to everyone, and everyone gathers around the fire to drink wine and eat meat in large pieces.
Yang Yi is the initiator and executor of this blitzkrieg! It is warmly sought after by everyone, and the words of praise are endless, and the generals in the army, the officials in the government, the gentry in the city, and the sergeants have all stepped forward to toast; Strictly speaking, Yang Yi is not a military general, he was born in the first place, and he is admirable for politics and literature, and now he has made remarkable achievements in the military, so it is no wonder that both civil and military generals are highly respected!
It was Su Dongpo who also poured three cups of Yang Yi in a row, he had to be Xiao Xiao, his expression was heroic, and he laughed loudly, Chen Ji often hit the bowl next to him and sang: In order to report the city, follow the Taishou, shoot the tiger in person, and watch Sun Lang! The wine is still open, and the temples are like frost, so what's the matter...... Will hold the bow like a full moon, look northwest, shoot the wolf!
The rough voice was suppressed and frustrated, and the scholars around followed the loud voice, and the blazing flames rolled, not as high as the enthusiasm gathered between everyone and Ying, everyone drank and sang, and sang and danced!
In such a warm atmosphere, Yang Yi let go of his mind and drank, but he was anxious to take care of his Qing Niang.
Seeing that he was staggered, and he was still arrogant and dry, Qing Niang couldn't help but quietly tug at his sleeve and persuaded softly: "Brother Yang! Don't drink so much, alcohol hurts your body, you listen to others, drink less! Sister Qing'er asked the family to come and live with you, wait a ......"
Yang Yi spit out a mouthful of wine, and laughed: "When you sing about wine, what is your life?" Qing Niang! Big...... I'm happy today in the cauldron, so let me have a good drink! ”
Qing Niang still wanted to persuade again, but Chen Jichang had already said with a smile at this time: "When you sing about wine, life is geometric!" Yang Yuanjun said this is very good! In this case, how about asking Yang Yuanjun to sing a song about the wine? ”
After Chen Jichang finished shouting, whether it was a soldier or a soldier around, they all applauded loudly, and the sound was like a tide!
"Good! Listen to me! Yang Yi is full of wine, and in such a warm atmosphere, he is also full of pride!
Bang! He slapped away another jar of spirits, raised the jar and drank it, then threw it into the fire, staggered to his feet, and shouted, "Sword! ”
Drunk and hazy, he didn't see clearly who stuffed the sword into his hand, copied the long sword and walked forward a few steps, Huo Ran drew the sword, wiped the sword with two fingers in his left hand, waved his big sleeves, and only heard him sing loudly between the sword light flying:
Drunk to pick up the lamp to look at the sword, dreaming back to blow the horn company camp.
Just these two sentences full of sonorous voices won a wave of applause, and a full camp of people gathered around to watch him dance and sing wildly; "Boom!" A drum sounded, but it was Su Dongpo who disregarded the rules and personally beat the drum in the army, smiling to help Yang Yi.
The emotions of the soldiers and civilians in the camp were completely aroused, and Yang Yi sang a sentence, and they sang along: Pick up the lamp and look at the sword when you are drunk, and dream of blowing the horn and the battalion...... Yang Yi doesn't have too many routines for dancing swords, but with drunkenness, he has a heroic and open spirit, and he only listens to the wild song again:
Eight hundred miles of fire, fifty strings turned over the outside sound, and the battlefield was an autumn soldier.
The most important thing is that those scholars, after listening to this song, they were so excited that they played the crown, sang loudly and sang loudly, and danced uninhibitedly; Even Qing Niang, who has been worried about Yang Yi, is a little star in her eyes, she already has a blind worship of Yang Yi, which will be forgotten a long time ago!
Su Dongpo's drumming became more and more urgent, like the drumming of troops on the autumn battlefield, Yang Yi swept up a snowflake between the whirling of his right foot, and the sword light swept along with the snowflake, shaking his head and singing wildly again:
The horse-made Lu is fast, the bow is like a thunderbolt, but the king is the world, he wins the name before and after his death, and he laughs at the sword in this life!
"Good! It's a good thing, but the king of the world, won the name before and after his death! Su Dongpo's face was full of wine red, his fists slammed the war drums, and he laughed loudly, he was originally a heroic temperament, and this kind of scene could arouse his enthusiasm the most, and he was not like a sixty-year-old man!
Yang Yi put away his sword, but the singing of the camp did not stop, and you couldn't even tell who was dancing and singing wildly, because everyone had already danced wildly, and some of them drank too much, and they still sang non-stop when they fell to the ground.
The battalion of soldiers and civilians gathered in front of the fires, singing and dancing, which completely turned into an unrestrained carnival, the north wind could not blow, and the night cold could not invade; Yang Yi took Qing Niang's hand and also joined the ranks of the song, but it was Nong Shiqiu who held Qing Niang's other hand!
Yang Yi's eyes were hazy, and he didn't see that Nong Shiqiu was happy and crazy;
No matter what others do, Nong Shiqiu finally has the opportunity to hold the hand of the goddess in his heart, maybe he doesn't dare to think anything wrong in his heart, but he can't suppress the happiness and satisfaction in his chest, and his voice is hoarse when he sings, and he is still howling!
The carnival in the camp spread to the city, and countless people rushed to see it, and soon the entire Huanzhou city became a sea of laughter.
There is no distinction between north and south, and there is no distinction between young and old...... Belch! Anyway, it's a city-wide party!
In the past year, Huanzhou has achieved a great victory, the life of the people is like a day, and people's joy has been suppressed for a long time; Tonight was inadvertently triggered, and suddenly it was out of control, and even the girls in the Qinglou took out their musical instruments, played by the window, and danced in the street.
A lamp was hung at the door, bursts of firecrackers sounded, and pieces of sheng sang! Colorful sleeves dance in the air, singing in the night sky all night
