Chapter 77: The Responsibility of the King
The heavy snow finally covered the green mountains, and the green mountains turned white.
Yunzhao’s thatched hut was quiet for three full days.
This is Li Hongji’s pomp.
Yun Zhao didn’t care either. Li Hongji wasn’t in a hurry, and he was even less anxious.
The Lantian County army has cotton tents to live in, coal to keep warm, cotton armor under the iron armor, huge fur hats on their heads, and two big ears on the hats that can be pulled down to protect them. On the face, there is a thick layer of urala grass inside the leather boots, which is dry and warm.
They have beef and mutton jerky to make soup, and locust powder to increase the flavor. If you want to eat millet buns, you can eat millet buns, and if you want to eat millet rice, you can eat millet rice. They guard the leeward mountain col. Don't care about the cold.
Of course Li Hongji’s army is also prepared, that is, they have to rely on their bodies to carry it!
There is still wind in the heavy snow weather, which is naturally very unfriendly to the body. It is inevitable that there will be a few colds and fevers in Yun Zhao's army. As for Li Hongji's military camp, people can be pulled from inside every day. Carloads of dead bodies that were frozen to death came out.
The artillery lined up on Pingyuan Avenue is not a toy, and the snow-covered ground is not stable. The scouts in Li Hongji's army have lost no less than fifty people.
This is Yun Zhao's confidence to hold Li Hongji in Funiu Mountain for a month.
This time Yun Zhao dispatched 80% of Yun Yang's troops, with less than 8,000 soldiers. However, Yun Zhao believed that these 8,000 soldiers were enough to stop Li Hongji.
Even though Li Hongji led an army of more than 200,000, claiming to be 500,000, when Yun Zhao had his back to Funiu Mountain, Yun Zhao thought that these 8,000 troops with all firearms could make Li Hongji shed enough blood. .
A thinly-clad, trembling knight walked into the valley.
"King Chuang invites the big boss to drink under the banner of Zuoshan tomorrow at noon."
You Qi finished speaking in Guanzhong, then closed his eyes and looked like he was waiting to die. .
"Reward!"
After hearing the soldier's report, Yun Zhao returned to the hut.
Immediately, the Tsing Yi guards invited the soldiers to have a meal under the thatched shed. The meal was a stew containing meat, frozen tofu, and even vermicelli and cabbage, which was sizzling and bubbling. There is also a pot of warm wine beside the cauldron.
"Reward me?" The soldier, who was only fifteen or sixteen years old at most, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and turned his eyes roundly to ask the most kind-hearted guard in green.
“I’m scared!”
The female guard in green pressed the poor soldier on the stool and continued: “Is your home Yulin or Yan’an?”
Xiao Bing wanted to eat it right away, but the dirty claws that stretched out made him extremely embarrassed. He grabbed a handful of snow with a smile and rubbed his dirty hands vigorously.
"From Yan'an."
"Is there anyone else at home?"
A young guard in Tsing Yi brought seven millet bunsHe asked casually as he placed it on the edge of the pot.
“When I left, there was no dry grass growing in the fields. There were two brothers, a sister-in-law and my parents at home, but I didn’t know whether they were alive or not.”
“ They are still alive, but they all left Ningxia. There is water there, and the government will give them land, cattle, and seeds. It will be fine next year."
The older guard in green saw the soldier looking at the table. The food made his eyes look straight, so he patted the naughty little girl, gave the chopsticks to Xiaobing and said, "Eat quickly."
Xiaobing shyly smiled honestly at the two women who spoke with the same accent. After a while, he started eating ferociously...
This guy ate seven of the one-pound millet buns, and he ate most of the stew without leaving a drop, even the soup. He also dipped it clean with millet buns, leaving only the pot of strong liquor untouched.
"I know you're not full, but you can't eat any more, or your intestines will break if you eat any more. Sit down and rest for a while before leaving."
Xiao Bing sat upright. She remained motionless on the bench, and after two long burps, she dared to turn her head, looked at the older woman in green and said, "Sister, why did my parents leave Ningxia?"
The older woman threw an old cotton-padded jacket to the soldier and said, "It hasn't rained in six years. How can there be people alive in Yan'an? Why don't we leave and wait to starve to death? As long as you remember your parents' names, you can go to Ningxia Town in the future." If you look for it, you will definitely find it."
He helped Xiao Bing wrap up his cotton-padded jacket. Tears filled his eyes. The behavior of the woman in green reminded him of his long-lost parents, brother and sister-in-law.
"Guanzhong is the best place in the world. Why are you all running around?"
The little girl's knees were on the stool, her body was lying on the table and she was looking at this curiously. A fellow countryman who looks pretty but looks dirty.
“Nothing to eat.”
“Ah? How could there be no food? My family has too much food to eat. When we came here, the two bags of millet left in the woodshed were eaten by rats. To cause trouble, my mother fed dirty grain to the pigs.
My mother also said, "What is this grain worth?"
The three of them were gibbering. Guagua chatted under the shed for a long time. Seeing the snowflakes starting to fall again, the soldier stood up and said, "I have to leave. If I come back late, I will be beheaded."
年The tall woman in Tsing Yi brought some millet buns and stuffed them to Xiao Bing, but the little girl took out a few colorful candies from her arms and gave them to Xiao Bing.
"I won't stay in detention for a long time, but I want to become a bandit."
The soldier's body shook a little, and he slowly climbed onto the horse's back. The horse started to move, and the soldier suddenly screamed. She burst into tears and turned to look at the older woman in green and said, "Sister, can I not go back?"
The little girl immediately clapped her hands and said, "Do you want to go back and suffer? Just stay here. , Do those thieves still dare to ask for someone from my young master?"
Xiao Bing smiled when he heard this, wiped his tears and said, "I have a few brothers who are still there. I want to kill him?"Bring them all over.
The older woman in green shook her head and said: "Don't do this. Those who want to go home will know how to go home. If you don't want to go home, you force them to come here, and they will hurt you, so you just Leave it alone and let others do their own business. "
The soldier got off his horse and said to the older woman in green: "I'll stay. "
The little girl was very happy and shouted to Yun Yang who was dozing under the far eaves: "I captured a soldier alive! "
Yun Yang didn't even raise his eyelids and said casually: "Get out! "
Yang Xiong witnessed all this with his own eyes, thought for a while and said to Yun Yang: "I think there is a lot to be done in it. The people in Guanzhong should return to Guanzhong. What do you think of my slogan? "
"When the two armies are facing each other, what do you want to do? "
Yang Xiong said: "A soldier never tires of deceit, so I think it is reasonable to do anything in front of the two armies. "
"You should think more about how to ensure the safety of the county minister tomorrow. "
Yang Xiong sneered: "As long as he is within the range of the cannon, the county magistrate is as stable as Mount Tai. ”
The next day, Yun Zhao came to the wild boar flag as promised. Someone had already set up a shed, and a fire was burning in the shed. Although it was cold and windy outside, it was still warm inside. .
Yun Zhao looked up at his wild boar flag for a long time. The wild boar depicted on it looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was his big wild boar that was just killed when he was young. The man added a mouth of fangs.
Li Hongji was sitting in the shed. The felt hat with red tassel on his head had become his trademark. He was dressed in blue and saw Yun Zhaolai. Liu Zongmin had no intention of getting up, but kept his eyes on Yun Zhao.
Liu Zongmin was standing outside the shed, wearing a cloak and standing like a sculpture in the snow.
Yun Yang was not as stupid as Liu Zongmin. He followed Yun Zhao into the shed and squatted in front of the fire when he found some hot plant ashes. He immediately took out a few sweet potatoes and buried them in the ashes.
Yun Zhao sat down. Opposite Li Hongji, the two of them looked at each other for a long time, and then they both raised their hands and said: "I admire you for a long time, I admire you for a long time. "
"You occupied Guanzhong, which is my hometown. "Li Hongji's hands are extremely thick. He holds them on the armrests of the chair and almost wraps up the front arc of the armrests.
"Guanzhong is also my home. If we trace our ancestors back, my Yun family can trace them back to A thousand years ago, so it was natural that I occupied Guanzhong. "
"Give me Yan'an, Yulin, and Suide. "
Li Hongji's voice was low, and there was a sense of refusal in it.
"Northern Shaanxi won't give it! "
"Then let Shangluo Road pass for my army to pass through. "
"Shangluo Road won't give it either! "
"In this case, can I win Hanzhong? "
"Hanzhong won't give it either! Let's put it this way, the line I drew for you is still valid today.What is outside the line is yours, what is inside the line is mine. I have never been in the habit of sharing things with others. So, does King Chuang understand? "
"Okay! The Yun family is indeed domineering. Since you are unwilling to share the things you have with us green forest heroes, then Funiu Mountain is not your territory, so why are you standing here now? "
Yun Zhao stood up and said leisurely: "This world is actually a place that values strength. As long as King Chuang is strong enough, you don't have to care about Yun, whether it is Northern Shaanxi or Shangluo Road. Or Hanzhong and Funiu Mountain, all of which were left to King Chuang to take and seize.
Even if King Chuang is interested in Lantian County, he can take it.
The reason why King Chuang still wants to discuss it with me is because he can’t take it away.
Since King Chuang cannot take it away, Yun Zhao will naturally take advantage of it. Now, I say that Funiu Mountain is also my territory, what does King Chuang think?
Li Hongji chuckled and said: "The big boss only cares about his own way and does not give others a way to survive. It is better not to do such things that risk the disdain of the world."
Yun Zhao chuckled and said, "You and I have done a lot of things that have led to the disapproval of the world. This time, Yun only wants to keep King Chuang in Funiu Mountain for a month, and has no other intention."
Li Hongji said: "The Yellow River will thaw in two months. Do you think Luoyang and Kaifeng can be saved with just one Yellow River?" If you can keep Kaifeng for one year, how can you keep Kaifeng for the rest of your life?
I have been in desperate situations many times, and I have survived many times. This is God’s will. Now that you, the Yun family, are acting against heaven, aren’t you afraid that you will end up dead?
Yun Zhao smiled, stood up, looked at the blazing fire between the two of them, and said softly: "You hate the emperor, that's right, and you're killing officials and rebelling, that's right. The problem is, what are you doing?" When doing these things, can you check if there are any wolves around you?
I don’t have a problem with you wanting to sit on the emperor’s throne, but do you know what kind of responsibility that seat represents?
You don’t understand!
You only know that if you sit in that position, you will have all the power in the world, you will be rich all over the world, and you will be surrounded by beautiful women. Have you ever thought about anything else?
The poor emperor in the Forbidden City now knows more than you. Why does he have to stick to Shuntian Mansion when he can obviously move to Nanjing?
Li Gouer, I will teach you a new word today - the emperor guards the country, and the king dies in the country!
Just from this point of view, the person you call the faint king, although he is forced into a life and death dilemma by you, has never forgotten that outside Shanhaiguan, there is a hungry wolf watching the Ming Dynasty. The world. ”
