Chapter 166: Vibrant
On a green hill in the north of Huanzhou City, Yang Yi led the civil and military officials of Huanzhou to hold a grand funeral for the soldiers who died in this battle.
Er Mazi's body was carefully pieced together, buried in front of the martyr's cemetery, in front of his grave stood a stone statue, life-size, was carved by Yang Yi according to the appearance of Er Mazi, his face was full of smoke and fire, but his smile was extremely bright.
Looking at the stone statue, there were hot tears flashing in everyone's eyes, but everyone tried to keep it from falling.
Heroes, no tears are needed.
In the first battle of Mengyun Valley, Yang Yi shocked, panicked, and lost the Xia army with "trapeze", lime, and bombs, but it was Er Mazi who really decided the victory of this war.
It was he who knew that he would die, but he resolutely rushed to Meile, and won the victory of this war with the heroic sacrifice of the dead body. He is a well-deserved hero, although, he doesn't even have a name of his own.
Su Dongpo wrote a sacrificial text, Yang Yi presided over the sacrifice, a war drum, three cups of spirits, 5,000 soldiers, 40,000 people, slowly turned to the west, and returned with three shouts!
The green mountains are endless, and the valleys and thousands of rocks respond: The soul returns! The Soul Returns! The Soul Returns!
Yang Yi held the official hat in his hand, stood under the stone statue of Er Mazi, and shouted in front of the five thousand soldiers: "Soldiers, I buried the martyrs in the north of Huanzhou, because the north is Hengshan, which is the Western Xia that has plagued the Great Song Dynasty for decades. Inspire us! I hope you can also look at them, think about their heroic deeds of sacrificing their lives and forgetting their deaths, their unfulfilled wishes, we need to continue to work hard, I want to say, don't let the heroic souls of the martyrs down! Don't let them down! They're watching us! ”
The green mountains are deserted, the wind is flying and the clouds are light, and thousands of soldiers are shouting in front of the mausoleum: "Don't be disappointed!" Not disappointed! Not disappointed! ”
Maybe Er Mazi really heard it, the sun shone on his stone statue, and that smile looked even brighter!
The grand sacrifice will not end until the afternoon!
Soon after returning to the city, Liu Laohu and they also returned, when they went out, five hundred men and horses, less than half were left when they came back, and there was no one who was not injured, half a month, twenty battles of all sizes, Liu Laohu must take the lead in every battle, they fell into the Xia army many times, and they all rushed through a bloody road with the swords and guns in their hands, killing countless enemies.
Yang Yi rewarded the soldiers who came back, and what to say to Liu Laohu, very good! It's powerful! Dare to disobey military orders!
In the handsome tent of the West Battalion, Yang Yi left Liu Wu alone and looked at him expressionlessly. Liu Laohu, who looked like a white forehead, actually showed a worried expression in front of Yang Yi, not because Yang Yi's official position was higher than him, and if he talked about the official position alone, the privy envoy Liu Laohu might not be in his eyes; But he admired Yang Yi in his heart, in terms of achievements, the three of them are not as good as others, he fought in the summer realm for half a month, twenty battles, Yang Yi was in Forrest Gump Mountain, and he wiped out Meile's tens of thousands of troops while talking and laughing, compared with the two, the number of enemies he Liu Laohu destroyed was less than a fraction of others.
In the face of such a Shangguan, no matter how crazy Liu Laohu is, he can only be a man with his tail between his legs!
"Lao Liu, what was the military order I gave you at the beginning?"
"You are not allowed to go two hundred miles beyond the summer realm!" Liu Laohu turned into Liu Xiaomei and answered honestly.
"Excellent! Good memory! I thought you had forgotten about it! ”
"The last general will not dare!"
Boom!
Yang Yi suddenly slapped the table, and the inkstone on the table shook wildly, and he pointed at Liu Laohu and shouted: "Don't dare!" What are you not afraid of? According to the law, the official can't cut you too much! Do you want to test if your knife is sharp enough? ”
"The last general will not dare! The end will be convicted! Ask for the mercy of the adults, and the general will be willing to atone for his sins......"
Outside the big tent, Chong Pu and the others heard Yang Yi's roar and were about to rush in to intercede for Liu Wu, but they heard Yang Yi continue: "Liu Wu! Remember your first offense, leave your dog's head to the Tangut people to cut off! But the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped, and the official will punish you to stand outside the big tent for two hours, remember! Raise your head, hold your chest straight, keep your legs straight, within two hours, if you dare to move, Lao Tzu will let people tattoo the word "girl" on your head, remember the words of the official, go! ”
Not only Liu Laohu was stunned, but even Chong Pu and others outside the big tent sighed that Liu Laohu's life was good, what kind of punishment is this? Anyway, you can also beat dozens of military sticks to make a show! It's painless...... Liu Wu was also secretly happy in his heart, it seems that Lord Zhizhou is still very easy to speak!
On the school field, Liu Laohu stood as straight as a green pine, standing majestic, and his comrades and subordinates on all sides looked at him with laughter, and someone quipped: "I really want to see what General Liu will become if he engraves the word girl on his forehead!" ”
"What can it become? It's not the same as a tiger! It's just that she will become a tigress! ”
"Hahaha......"
Looking at Xie Jingting and they laughed, Liu Laohu stood still, wanting to see Lao Tzu's jokes, no! Standing for two hours is a fart, Lao Tzu's knife mountain and sea of fire have broken through, standing for two hours, a piece of cake! Liu Laohu looked at the world; But soon, Liu Laohu knew that he was wrong, and after half an hour, his feet were like lead, in order not to become a tigress, he gritted his teeth and persevered, motionless.
After an hour, Liu Laohu was sweating profusely, as if he had worked out of the water, he was beginning to regret it now, he had known that this was the case, even if he was beaten with a hundred military sticks, he would admit it, this time was only half over, how could it be? How can time pass so slowly! Which son of a bitch did something to the letter...... After an hour and a half, Liu Laohu's legs began to tremble slightly, and the green tendons on his face swelled, like a black snake swimming, extremely hideous, as if he was enduring the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, even Xie Jingting and they couldn't help but be scared, what's wrong? In the past, Liu Laohu, who was hit by several arrows in his body, was still like a person who was fine, and still picked up a knife to cut people, and stood like this for two hours!
Liu Laohu is really ruthless, and in the end he really lasted for two hours, and the moment the incense was extinguished, his body fell straight down, and then he passed out!
Under Lang Zhong's treatment, he woke up an hour later, and his first reaction was to touch his forehead, fortunately, he didn't become a tigress! Then continue to dizzy! Liu Wu, who was as fierce as a tiger, lay down for three days before he could barely get up and walk.
Since then, everyone in the barracks has changed color when they talk about punishment, and Liu Laohu himself is like a ghost, Yang Yi's punishment of him is not over, he kicked him to the border, and was responsible for leading people to build a village, according to Yang Yi, even if a stone is not built well, let him Liu Laohu ...... again Belch! After that, why did this girl run so fast! Well, it seems that the quality of the fort can be guaranteed!
The 50,000 troops of the Western Xia this time can escape back at most, more than 10,000 killed, and the rest have all become prisoners of the Song army.
In addition to the loss of tens of thousands of troops, the famous general of the Western Xia Mei Le was buried in Mengyun Valley, which was also fatal to the Western Xia, Mei Le was extremely famous in the Western Xia, and was one of the souls of the Xia army, he was destroyed by Yang Yi in the Mengyun Valley, just like pulling out a spiritual pillar of the Western Xia, the Western Xia was in decline for a while, and the psychological advantage established in the nine years was suddenly gone!
At the suggestion of another Xia general, Renduo Baozhong, Empress Dowager Liang ordered the border to temporarily enter a strategic defensive state, and immediately sent an envoy to the Liao State, preparing to complain to her master about the "monstrous evil deeds" of the Great Song Dynasty and asking the Liao State to put pressure on the Great Song Dynasty, a trick that the Western Xia had tried and tested repeatedly over the years.
Yang Yi smiled, Xixia's reaction was already expected, he was looking forward to what kind of reaction Yelu Hongji would make, the Liao Kingdom is now in a mess, this is not a good time to start a war with the Great Song Dynasty!
If you send an envoy to protest a few times, the Great Song Dynasty can completely ignore it, last winter, the Great Song Dynasty through the Hengshan Qiang people and the Hindrance Department of large-scale transactions, the Liao State sent envoys to Tokyo to threaten the Great Song Dynasty with war, what is the result?
Zhao Xu directly threw the national letter of the Liao State into the waste paper heap, and even the envoy of the Liao State did not receive it, on the grounds that the Great Song Dynasty did not accept any threats!
No threats are accepted! This is almost the strongest sound since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was actually said by the sick Zhao Xu! The Great Song Dynasty, which tended to be weak as a whole, was said by a monarch with the weakest body, and Yang Yi couldn't help but feel full of emotion when he learned it, and at the same time he was extremely happy.
After dealing with the military, Yang Yi immediately posted a notice, calling on the people who had originally hid in the mountains to go down the mountain, and the people who fled to the mainland with their families to return to their hometowns.
Yang Yi also solemnly promised that as long as he was the governor of Huanzhou for one day, he would ensure the peace of the people of Huanzhou for one day, and unless Xia Jun stepped on his corpse, he would not want to harm the people of Huanzhou again.
Such a guarantee is also one of the strongest voices in Huanzhou.
Yang Yi's sincere call, coupled with his prestige of destroying tens of thousands of troops in Meile in a war, this itself gave the people a reassurance, as soon as the notice came out, the people on the mountain went down the mountain one after another, and the people who fled abroad also returned to their hometowns one after another, the spring plowing season has passed, but if you can quickly plant the seedlings, there will always be some harvest; For this reason, Yang Yi took all the Cao officials down to the fields, organized the people to help each other, dispatched cattle and horses, and planted the seedlings in a race against time.
Every day, the people can see a busy figure in the field, although he is not wearing the official uniform of the governor, but when everyone sees him, the dazed heart will be steady, and the sleepy body will have strength again...... During this period, Su Shi was not idle as a general judge, in addition to daily government affairs, he was also in charge of cultural and educational work, taking advantage of the spring breeze of Huanzhou's large-scale reconstruction, he built many schools in various villages and villages, and used his own fame to hire some gentlemen as teachers.
In this regard, he Su Dongpo itself is a golden signboard, things are going very smoothly, many village houses have not been rebuilt, and the sound of children reading aloud has sounded in the village.
The money earned by the four salt wells was squandered by Yang Yi, and the treasury became able to run mice again, but Huanzhou was thus full of unprecedented vitality at the turn of the spring and summer of the second year of Shaosheng!
