Updated: 2014-01-02
and again repeatedly persuaded Liu Dutong to restrain the armies, and the 70,000 or 80,000 Liao people in Yanjing were safe!! Besides, although Xinzhou is broken now, my eldest brother also treats it with kindness, not only strictly ordering the army not to disturb the people, but also preparing to develop a granary and allocate it to the people in the city, hoping to restore peace in Xinzhou as soon as possible!! My eldest brother treats you and other Liao people can be said to repay grievances with virtue, and benevolence and righteousness have been exhausted, but even though you Yelu Tang is just a remnant of the Liao family, you have evil intentions and have repeatedly offended, and you really don't know what to do!! ”
Xu Qingkan said that Yelu Tang's heart was shocked again and again, and he was in a trance, and it seemed that it was difficult to distinguish between right and wrong for a while. Yang Zaixing was on the side, but he heard it, and secretly applauded. Suddenly, Yelu Tang pulled his hair on his head, his face was extremely painful, his eyes were bloodshot, and he screamed in a heart-splitting voice: "Wow~~~!! Get lost~~!!! Get out of here~~~!!! ”
"You !!" Xu Qing's eyes widened, and he seemed to have lost his patience. At this time, Deng Yun suddenly said lightly: "Second brother, don't be impatient, there is only victory and defeat in the war, and there is never right or wrong." Don't say that it is us, even the sages of the past generations, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. It's no wonder he couldn't accept it for a while. If you force it again, or if you're really going crazy, let's go. ”
Deng Yun said, turned around and left. Yang Zaixing's face was cold, but the disdain in his eyes had long since disappeared, but he had a little more pity, and then followed Deng Yun away. Xu Qing saw that Yelu Tang was still screaming, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little more desolate, shook his head and sighed, and turned to leave.
After a while, after Deng Yun and the others came out of the cell, they all looked depressed and not depressed, and they seemed to be in a very bad mood. Although the catastrophe of the Great Liao annihilation has nothing to do with them, after all, when the Great Liao survived, it was they who gave a fatal blow, so far the nearly 600,000 or 700,000 Liao people in the land of Yanyun have become lonely ghosts and lost dogs, and the future of these Liao people must be full of misery and suffering.
A gust of wind blew, Deng Yun's heart was quite cold, he raised his head to look at the sky, and muttered in a low voice: "Regardless of race or country, all the people in the world hope for is to live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is peaceful. But no matter which dynasty, the war has never ended. Who is controlling the movement of the world? Is it the emperor's family, the powerful family, or the infinite hearts of the people**? ”
Xu Qing and Yang Zaixing couldn't help but stop one after another, and their hearts were touched. Xu Qing sighed in a low voice and said silently: "Who doesn't want to live in a peaceful and prosperous world, live a stable life, and who wants to stay away from home, lick blood from the knife every day, fight with others, and don't know where to be buried if they don't die for a day... We can't help ourselves. ”
Two days later, as Xu Qing opened the granary and sent soldiers to distribute it to the people, he finally succeeded in pacifying the people in the city. However, he said that at the beginning, most of the Liao people did not believe it, but they were a little bold, and there were people who really had no rice to put in the pot at home to collect it. Later, some people saw that Song Bing treated him with courtesy and kindness, and did not insult and scold, and came one after another. Xu Qing was careful again, and sent people to the homes of those people who only had old and young women and children at home to personally distribute them. Although some Liao people were unwilling to accept it, and even verbally insulted them, Xu Qing had an order first, and the sergeants in the army were all forced to swallow it and tried their best to complete their mission.
In order to appease these Liao people, Xu Qing also asked his subordinates to deploy painstakingly, but they also achieved considerable results, at least now the Liao people in the city are not as hostile to the Song people as they used to be, and some streets have begun to have human traces.
At sunset, on True North Avenue, a horse-drawn carriage was slowly passing through the bluestone slabs of the street. A few Liao people cowered and hid on both sides, although so, they were not necessarily too panicked, and they were very curious to look.
"How? Am I talking about a lie? ”
In the carriage, Deng Yun and Yelu Tang sat opposite each other. Deng Yun was wearing a simple and clean blue embroidered robe, while Yelu Tang on the opposite side was dressed gorgeously, with exquisite embroidery on the brocade robe, gold silk lace, and auspicious clouds. But such a brocade robe is just an ordinary garment of Yelu Tangzong.
"Dragon Barbarian, what are your intentions in taking such a lot of trouble and hypocrisy!?" Compared with Deng Yun's plain face, Yelu Tangzong was full of vigilance, and his eyes shimmered, as if he wanted to be embedded in Deng Yun's eyes and see through his thoughts. However, to Yelu Tang's repeated frustrations, Deng Yun's eyes were as flat as water, without any ripples, and his face seemed to always have that desireless look.
"Oh? What does Brother Jerod mean, might as well say it directly? Deng Yun smiled lightly and said lightly. Yelu Tang looked a little annoyed, and his voice couldn't help but be a little louder, and he shouted coldly: "Don't pretend anymore!" Although you are young, you have the talent to go through the heavens and the earth, and you are even more terrifying, you are kind on the surface, the city is very deep, and you know how to win people's hearts! The generals under your command are all heroes and heroes, and they have their own skills! If it is a peaceful and prosperous world, or you will be a master of governance, but now it is a troubled time, a character like you will become a hero sooner or later!!
You dare to say that you have no selfish ambitions!? I'm afraid that Yanyun has long been regarded as a thing in the bag, but now I will buy people's hearts first, gain the popularity of the people, and when the time comes, I will take it as the foundation, establish power, and hold the land as the king!! ”
Yelu Tang shouted loudly, his eyes were fierce, and he stared at Deng Yun deadly. Deng Yun sighed and said lightly: "I have no intention of being a thief, since I joined the army, what I have done with my brothers is just to serve the country, I am dedicated to the public, and I have a clear conscience." Why should Brother Jerod be so suspicious? ”
"Hmph." When Yelu Tang heard this, he first sneered, his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "Don't think that you can be smart for a lifetime, people are always confused for a while." I don't believe you can pretend to be a lifetime either! ”
When Deng Yun heard this, he shook his head and smiled, didn't answer first, opened the curtain, looked out the window, and saw that under dusk, the street couldn't help but look a little desolate, and sighed in a low voice: "I thought that if everyone was confused, the world would be too peaceful and comfortable, and these wars and disasters were all disasters made up by those who thought they were smart." ”
Deng Yun's words were quite simple, but they seemed to have a hidden truth, and Yelu Tang's face changed, and he was speechless for a while. Deng Yun slowly lowered the curtain, turned his head to look at Yelu Tangzong, and laughed softly: "A smart person like you, but you have to guess and calculate everything, don't you feel tired?" ”
"Hmph. Your mouth is even more powerful than your kung fu, I can't talk about you! Yelu Tang looked a little unlucky, but from his eyes, it was not difficult to see that he had some admiration for Deng Yunsheng.
"I have a reason, so naturally you can't talk about me." Deng Yun chuckled and said lightly. "You!!" Yelu Tang couldn't help but be annoyed and glared.
"Alright. Thou hast seen the state of the city, and seeing is believing, and I have not deceived thee. People are forgetful, but survival is human instinct. If this continues, as long as there is no chaos, within half a year, Xinzhou City will be able to return to its former prosperity.
Moreover, I have commanded my second brother to lead the captives and troops from tomorrow onwards, and to repair the buildings and dwellings in the city together with the people of the city. Naturally, my troops will also help, after all, this new state is already owned by my Great Song Dynasty. In this way, within half a month, various shops and restaurants can open one after another. ”
Deng Yun's face was calm, and he said in a condensed voice. Yelu Tang listened, and his heart stirred again and again, secretly thinking that this dragon barbarian is not only brave and good at fighting, full of scheming, and omnipotent on the battlefield, but also has the ability to stabilize the country and secure the country!
"How could such an amazing genius be born in the family of the Song people!?" Yelu Tang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and for a while, all kinds of flavors intersected.
After thinking about it, Yelu Tang's expression tightened, and he stared at Deng Yun again, and asked coldly: "Dragon barbarian, I am just a wild ghost of the dead country, why are you so persistent with me!?" You almost died at my hands that night!! ”
As soon as Yelu Tang said this, Deng Yun's face finally changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "There is no eternal enemy in this world. And Brother Yelu has the talent to change the situation in the world, for the future of the Great Song Dynasty, you must be indispensable! ”
Yelu Tang's face changed drastically when he heard this, but he didn't expect Deng Yun to value himself so much, and when he reacted, he couldn't help laughing: "Hahahahaha~~~!! When I meet you, you are surprised by everything, take the lead, expect things like a god, and have a hundred talents. In front of you, I feel ashamed of myself, and I can't raise my head! But I don't want me to be so valued by your dragon barbarian!! ”
Yelu Tang's tone was a little sarcastic, and Deng Yun's expression was flat, even if he replied: "Brother Yelu's talent has the ability to conquer the heavens, and his future achievements are even more immeasurable." ”
Deng Yun's eyes were sincere, Yelu Tang couldn't help but feel a little more curious in his heart, and said: "As you said, I, Yelu Tang Zongguo, have such earth-shattering skills, how can I end up in today's field." ”
"The trend of the times, and the establishment of the country and the country, is not what Brother Yelu is good at."
"Hmph. So what do you think I'm good at? ”
"What Brother Yelu is good at is the art of weapons."
The two spoke in unison. When Deng Yun's last voice fell, Yelu Tang's eyes widened for a moment, and he seemed to come to his senses in an instant.
"Hahahaha~~!! I didn't expect that I, Yelu Tang, had been searching for a confidant for many years, but I was the enemy who ruined my country!! Thief God, how do you still want to play tricks on me before you want to stop!! ”
Suddenly, Yelu Tang laughed out loud, his expression was extremely miserable, and his laughter was like a fountain of tears. It turned out that Yelu Tang was scolded by his father since he was a child, he did not do his job properly, specialized in evil arts, and secretly became a joke of the royal family of Liao, and later had to endure all kinds of reluctance to abandon it. Later, although he was quite fruitful, those Liao royal relatives still looked down on him, and even the officials under his command often advised him not to be promiscuous and selfish, and to focus on government affairs. The results of his work were seen as nothing more than something he used to entertain himself. Over the years, he has been so lonely, even afraid that others will laugh at him, and he doesn't dare to tell humanity about the sorrow in his heart!
Deng Yun didn't answer silently, just listened quietly. I don't know how long it took, but it was already dark, and it was still quiet in the carriage.
"Long Manzi, why do you treat me and the Liao people so benevolently?" Suddenly, Yelu Tang opened his mouth. Deng Yun closed his eyes and recuperated, and after being obedient, he didn't open his eyes, and said lightly: "Although the Liao State is destroyed, there are still 600,000 or 700,000 Liao people in Yanjing. ”
"But Song and Liao have always been hostile, not to mention that now the Liao Kingdom is destroyed at the hands of you and other Song people. The Song people will not treat us and other Liao people well, but will only enslave them for use. In this way, the Liao people will definitely rebel one after another, and Yanjing may never have a peaceful day! ”
