Volume 1 The War in the Northwest Chapter 74 Going to the Great Wall Again

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yinzhou is still not far away from Xiazhou.

    Starting from Yinzhou and joining forces with Hua Qing, Yang Rong led the army straight towards Xiazhou.

    Yang Rong remembered that on the way to Xiazhou, they had to climb a piece of the Great Wall. It was precisely because of the existence of this piece of Great Wall that the party members were not so arbitrary in their attack on the hinterland of the Song Dynasty.

    Due to the large amount of baggage, the army was not moving very fast. After leaving Yinzhou, Yang Rong walked for two full days before he saw a dark city wall emerging in the distance.

    "Station at the Great Wall tonight!" Seeing the city wall, Yang Rong raised his hand and pointed forward, shouting to the officers and soldiers behind him: "Soldiers, speed up, we will set up camp when we reach the Great Wall!"

    When he spoke, dusk had already arrived. Although the city wall could be seen from a distance, the officers and soldiers all knew that it was almost impossible to reach the Great Wall before nightfall.

    Under the leadership of Yang Rong, the team accelerated their march.

    After walking a little more than half the distance, the sky became dark.

    Yang Rong looked at the sky. In the eastern sky, a bright moon had climbed up and hung diagonally in the sky.

    Although it was getting dark, Yang Rong did not order the army to stop advancing. He had only one goal, which was to reach the Great Wall at night.

    The Great Wall is the best natural barrier. Once on the Great Wall, he only needs to place a small amount of warning on the wall to see the surrounding environment clearly. Even if a party army comes to attack, they can do it in the shortest time.  Prepare for a challenge.

    The Song troops following Yang Rong seemed to understand what he meant. After he said it once, all the Song troops speeded up their pace, except for the baggage sandwiched in the middle of the team, which could not move very fast.

    From the time Yang Rong gave the order to the time the army arrived at the foot of the Great Wall, it took nearly two hours.

    When they arrived at the foot of the Great Wall, Yang Rong ordered the troops to stay where they were. He took Chen Rui and other generals on horseback and rode towards the wall of the Great Wall.

    After going up to the Great Wall, Yang Rong stood on his horse on the wall, looking at the dark wilderness in the distance, without saying anything for a long time.

    "Sir, if you go a little further, you should be able to reach Xiazhou!" Chen Rui, who was riding a horse, stood behind Yang Rong, raised his hand and pointed to the west, and said to Yang Rong: "As long as we enter Xiazhou,  It should be only a matter of time before our army¡¯s logistics catch up, march straight into the Helan Mountains, and break through the Helan Mountains.¡±

    "It is indeed much easier to deal with the Dangxiang people without Zhang Pu!" Yang Rong nodded, frowned and said to Chen Rui beside him: "However, Li Jiqian led his troops to rebel against the imperial court many times, so he is not completely incompetent.  In this expedition, we may be able to defeat the Dangxiang people in the end, but the losses may not be that small."

    "The general said earlier that His Majesty's intention was to exterminate the Dangxiang people. After our army attacks the Dangxiang people, will they all be killed?" After Yang Rong finished speaking, Hua Qing on the side said to Yang Rong: "  Before, General Mo led his brothers to fight against the party members and only killed their men, women, old men and children, all of whom were left untouched."

    "No!" Looking at the wilderness in the west, Yang Rong frowned slightly and said to the generals beside him: "Although Li Jiqian is hateful, the Party members should not be exterminated. At least we should not let them leave any blood.  .¡±

    "What do you mean, sir?" Yang Rong said these words. Hua Qing looked at him with some confusion and said to him: "The Holy One has made a decree. If you don't follow the Holy One's wishes, you will return to Tokyo in the future.  Will I be blamed by the Holy One?"

    "Return to Tokyo in the future?" Yang Rong curled his lips, as if he had something to say but didn't say it. After a while, he said to Hua Qing and others: "The Holy One wanted us to destroy the party members, but he didn't say it.  Let us kill all the Dangxiang people. When there is a fight with the Dangxiang people, the men will naturally be killed, and the women will be brought back to Xinzhou for the brothers to enjoy. As for the children, we must not kill them. Send them away  When they arrive in the territory of the Song Dynasty, they will be raised by the people of the Song Dynasty, and they will intermarry with the people of the Song Dynasty. As time goes by, they will naturally become Han Chinese."

    "My lord, this move is more ruthless than killing them!" After Yang Rong said these words, Tian Wei shook his head with a wry smile and said to him: "If we want to destroy the Dangxiang people, we may not be able to kill them all.  . Once the killing starts, many Dangxiang people will hide. It is better to be a little more lenient with them like adults, and send their children to the Song Dynasty to slowly assimilate. As time goes by, naturally there will be no more Dangxiang people!  "

    Yang Rong nodded and said no more. He just looked at the wilderness in the west silently, as if thinking about something.

    "General, our troops are now well stationed. General, can you please play a song for the soldiers to boost their morale?" Yang Rong was looking to the west and didn't know what he was thinking. Liu Yi's voice came from behind him.

    Hearing Liu ?With the sound of ?, Yang Rong turned around and looked up to the city wall. He saw Liu Yi leading Lian'er up the city wall, escorted by several soldiers from the Night Guard Camp, and walking towards them.

    "The princess is happy to listen to the general playing the piano, so the general cannot touch the princess's music." Yang Rong said with a faint smile on his lips, saying to Chen Rui beside him: "Go over and help me get the piano."  Come, tonight I will play a song for the soldiers on the Great Wall!"

    Chen Rui responded and rode down towards the city wall.

    Yang Rong dismounted and handed the horse over to a soldier from the Night Assault Battalion. He led a group of generals to find a relatively spacious place to sit down, waiting for Chen Rui to help him get the Yao Qin.

    After a while, Chen Rui brought the Yao Qin and handed it to Yang Rong with both hands.

    Taking the Yao Qin from Chen Rui, Yang Rong placed the Qin in front of him, uncovered the silk cloth, stroked the strings, and said to the people around him: "Playing the Qin on the Great Wall reminds me of that day with General Pan Weiji and his army.  I came to Daizhou to stop the Liao tribal army."

    At this point, Yang Rong sighed leisurely and said to everyone: "Before that, I was very stupid, and my stupidity killed many people. Yan Zhen, a horse thief, and the Liao army who fought with me on the Great Wall  Brothers from the Mountain Army who fought hard. There were two thousand people, but only a few dozen survived in the end. Now I don¡¯t know what happened to those brothers who are still alive.¡±

    "The general sometimes has a very feminine temperament!" After Yang Rong said these words, Liu Yi said to him with a faint smile on her face: "What happened back then has passed, even if the general goes again  Thinking about it, those who are no longer here cannot come back. As long as the general leads the soldiers from today on to fight the enemy bravely and drive away all the barbarians who try to occupy the country of Song Dynasty, he will be the heroic spirit who comforts the war dead!"
