Song Beiyun

"impossible!"

"Gamble or not?"

Fo Baonu almost opened her mouth to agree, but this time she behaved herself and shook her head vigorously: "Don't gamble, don't gamble anymore... You are a very bad person, if I can stop it, I can stop it."

After finishing speaking, she frowned and stared at the location of Xiangyang City, then turned her head and asked, "What do you think this dog is doing now? How will he use the things in his hand, and how is he going to play with Xixia? Yes Take it directly or what? How can the Liao Kingdom seize the opportunity?"

"Ask him yourself, he will tell you, but if you want to listen to the truth, it depends on what you exchange."

Fo Baonu curled his lips: "I still don't believe that I won't win a game this time! Why do you ask, don't ask!"

When the emperors of the two countries were thrilling about the Northwest, Song Beiyun led the people to wander the streets of Xiangyang.

He is full of smiles and nods to everyone who greets him, looking like an amiable retired veteran cadre.

The group came all the way to a grain store, Song Beiyun walked in with a smile on his face, and patted the boss inside who was settling accounts.

The boss looked up, then immediately lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Boss, your grain shop is running well."

"My lord...it's me, Da Song, who cares about the common people."

Xiao Song pouted, grabbed some millet from a bag and chewed it in his mouth: "The new grain is fragrant."

The shopkeeper's calf was a little weak, but he still replied with a smile on his face: "If the military master likes it, I will move all the new food in the store to the camp."

Xiao Song pursed his lips: "That's not right, shopkeeper. You don't have the ability to move as soon as you say it, right? Your master hasn't let go yet."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Song raised his hand, and the thugs from the Imperial City Division rushed up behind him. With the noise upstairs, everyone in the rice shop was tightly tied up.

"Let's go, shopkeeper, lead the way." Xiao Song patted him on the head: "This is your last chance."

The shopkeeper knelt on the ground and cried, "Master Jun, I don't know what you're talking about...you let the little one go."

Xiao Song shook his head, sighed, turned around, ignored his cries, and led people straight to his warehouse.

Several locks were hung on the outside of the granary, which looked quite strong, but no matter how strong the locks were, they couldn't hold the axe. After a crackling, the door of the granary was opened.

Xiao Song covered his mouth and nose and walked in. Immediately someone behind him stepped forward to help him hold the hem of the gown.

"Master Sun, why bother." Xiao Song stood in the barn: "I gave you three days. If you turn yourself in, I can find a way to excuse you, but not only did you not reflect on yourself, you also secretly Contact the Xixia spies in the city, and want to take you out, why bother."

After Xiao Song finished speaking, he let out a long sigh: "Master Sun, come out, it's time to go on the road. For the sake of acquaintance, how about I give you a good time?"

Chapter 527: May 5, Three Years

The sun was shining brightly, and the weather approaching June began to become sultry. Thousands of people crowded there by the river outside Xiangyang City and stretched their heads to look around.Some clever hawkers pushed their own carts and began to sell some snacks and other foods among the crowd.

Fifty feet away from the gate of the city, an old mason was sitting on a bluestone tablet, jingling with a chisel, blowing twice, and chiseling twice, the sound was clear and melodious.

In the hole on the wall in the distance, someone was walking through the survey and drawing. The flag on the top of the city had already turned into a Song character flag waving in the wind, and it was hard to tell whether it was the Great Song or the Little Song.

I don't know who it was, and suddenly shouted "Come", the people on the outside of the city immediately turned their eyes to the past, and found that hundreds of people were strung together with ropes and walked out all the way under the guidance of the warden.

The crowd gave way everywhere they passed, and did not stop until they reached a makeshift platform.

Soon a few familiar faces were dragged onto the stage, their faces were ashamed, and they couldn't see the aloof appearance they once had.

"Inspector Sun... oh... he's a good official, it's a pity."

"What's so good, if it wasn't for him, would Fatty Zhou be so rich? Those officials should all be damned! If this is the case, they still want to rebel. I really don't know how high the heavens are."

"That's right, I heard that he is still colluding with the Xixia people and intends to destroy my Great Song Dynasty."

"Ah? There are other things like this? That should really be damned."

The common people below started discussing one after another, while Sun Zewei on the stage just chuckled lightly, but didn't make any excuses.Because he knew that stretching out his head today is also a knife and shrinking his head is also a knife, no matter what he can't escape.

And until today, he didn't understand why he died, because he underestimated Song Beiyun and underestimated the royal power.This young man's reputation is not in vain after all, it's just that he covered it up so well that he deceived the world.

I am not reconciled, but there is no better way, and now I only hope to have a good time.

Sun Zewei knelt there with a helpless smile on his face, and he was going to die calmly.But the people around him were not so clear. Some of them were begging for mercy, some were swearing, and some were in a state of confusion.

At this time, Xiao Song walked forward in a four-rank inspector uniform. He lowered his head slightly, took out an imperial edict in his hand, and began to read aloud: "Sun Ze is a wolf with ambition, which is against the rules..."

After the long edict exposed Sun Zewei's crimes, the people kneeling on top burst into tears and kowtowed like garlic, but Song Beiyun didn't even look at it.

Then he moved his hand, and immediately soldiers came forward from behind and began to push those people into the huge pit behind them.Some of these people are old and have yellow hair. Their will to survive makes them fight hard, but they are no match for those strong soldiers.

Soon, the pit was filled with people, and they struggled to climb up, but their bound hands and feet and the deep pit filled them with despair.From time to time, there were shrill cries and screams for mercy, but it didn't affect the sand above it and began to cover it.

Sun Zewei sat in it with a calm expression and even a smile on his face. He looked up at Song Beiyun and called softly, "Master Song."

Song Beiyun turned his head and looked down at him without saying a word.

"Sir Song's eyes and hands are as good as the sky, and I hope that when we meet again in the future, your lord will be able to say that you have a clear conscience."

Song Beiyun turned around silently, listened to the crying and howling below, and picked up the second edict again: "Investigate and punish more than 140 principal and subordinate prisoners, including 670 and five family members. The punishment of beheading at the waist is to show the emperor's grace."

The people around don't care what is written on the imperial list, they just want to see the burial of people, this pit is very big, but it is too crowded to hold hundreds of people at one time, and it is precisely this kind of crowd that makes them The more painful it is when struggling, but it is this kind of pain that makes those people full of pleasure.

"Oh, that girl is really pretty, what a pity."

"Hahaha, then you'll dig it out for her and take it back as your daughter-in-law."

"Bah, bah, don't say unlucky things."

There was a burst of cheerful laughter around, as if the imminent death in front of them was just a tool for their entertainment.Seeing this scene in the eyes of Song Beiyun, he suddenly felt that those people described by Mr. Lu Xun did exist, and they existed regardless of age. Ridiculous is ridiculous, but sad is not sad.

The people in the pit were gradually covered by soil, and they knew that they had no hope of life, so they became hideous, and began to curse Xiao Song and Da Song.

But verbal curses are the least powerful weapon in the world. Song Beiyun only took a few steps forward and could no longer hear those vicious curses. When he turned his head, he could only see loess gradually covering everyone's heads.

After the big pit was filled, the cavalry came from the city, and they trampled back and forth on the land with their tall horses until the new soil was as firm as the old soil, and four oxen pulled out a bastard of a camel stone tablet in the city.

Some people say it's called Baxia, but Song Beiyun thinks it's bullshit.

The ten-thousand-jin bastard was placed on the pit where people were buried, and then the freshly baked stone tablet was placed on the back of the bastard, which recorded in detail what happened here, and why it happened. Bury so many people.

Xiao Song stood quietly by the side the whole time, and he felt that the ghost-like cry still remained in his ears, and it calmed down a little after a long battle.

After the stele was erected, the surrounding masons and bricklayers immediately stepped forward and began to surround it and start building the crossing pavilion.

The people around were satisfied, and now they began to disperse slowly. In the end, only an old woman selling rice cakes was left slowly walking towards the city gate with a cart.

"Wait a moment."

Song Beiyun stepped forward and stopped the old woman: "Is there any more rice cake?"

The old woman looked up at Song Beiyun, a little scared, she lifted the bamboo strip cover with trembling hands, and there were still a few pieces inside.

Xiao Song hummed, took out a few copper coins and handed them over, picked up the rice cake and squatted in a corner where no one was around, and started to eat it, but after eating a few bites, he suddenly spit it out in one gulp, but he didn't stop , stuffed something into his mouth again.

After eating and vomiting like this for a few times, he finally restrained the strong mental stimulation, stood up, wiped his lips, and walked out with a blank expression.

Death was not new to him, but such a large-scale execution was the first time in his life. The various appearances of those people before death seemed to be like a video that was played repeatedly before his eyes.

But he knew what he had to do, and some things had to be done, otherwise it would not be enough to deter those soldiers. The frequent occurrence of rebellions meant that the upper-level credibility and deterrence were not enough to support their status.

In fact, there are not all the people in this pit. There are about 2000 other people. Those people are not qualified to be suppressed by Shi Wangba. They are all middle-level generals, officials and their families who followed the rebellion at all levels.

However, their place of execution was not at the east gate but at the south gate. Compared to the heart-shattering east gate, the south gate seemed like a hell of flesh and blood.Because the half-cut was used, that place is obviously more lively than the east gate. Some prisoners who have not died immediately after being cut in half will attract cheers from the audience. The longer the distance crawling on the ground, the louder the cheers .

This scene reminded Song Beiyun of the scene in The Revenge of Monte Cristo where people watched the executioner beheading the executioner. It said that after the head was beheaded, he would hit his chest with a sledgehammer a few times, so that the blood could be sprayed higher and attracted the attention of the audience. joy.

Standing on the still intact city tower, Xiao Song was blowing the early summer wind, lying there not knowing what to think, and did not move until night fell.

Are you hungry? You must not be hungry. After eating a lot of rice cakes, you are still very full. You can’t say that you are in a heavy mood. Because of the rebellion, they can survive without any reason. It’s just the spirit of the whole day today. The pollution made him really uncomfortable.

After all, he is not a person who can kill for fun. Death is actually a difficult thing for any normal person to face. Even if his face is expressionless, his heart will still be somewhat twisted.

"I knew you were here."

Zuo Rou's voice came, and then she lay beside Song Beiyun, looking through the city wall at the pass-by pavilion that was still finishing its final decoration.

"Still thinking about those people?"

"Not really, what do you think they are planning." Xiao Song turned his head to look at Zuo Rou: "There are so many rebels, what are they planning."

"Picture a right."

Maybe it’s not just about the power, Xiao Song thinks that it’s not the case just about the right. What he reads from the history books is not necessarily true. If you are cornered by such things, the rest may be boring.

Because there are very few young people rebelling, the real rebellious ones are middle-aged people, what are they trying to do?

I don't know... The trigger mechanism is really unclear. Let's open a topic in Qinglongyuan when I go back.

"Go back." Zuo Rou took his arm: "Yesterday, I discussed it with Sister Qiao Yun, and today I will let you try Double Dragon Playing Balls!"

Song Beiyun: "???"

"Let's go!"

Being dragged back by Zuo Rousheng, he ate something casually, and just when he was about to ask Qiaoyun what the pair of dragon play balls were, someone came to inform him.

It is said that the spies discovered that about [-] Xixia cavalry were galloping here, and they seemed to be rushing to help Xiangyang City.

Xiao Song raised his eyebrows as soon as he heard this, and the problem of information blockage came. They may not have received the news that Xiangyang has been broken, but now this team of cavalry should be less than a hundred miles away from Xiangyang City.

"This group of people." Xiao Song frowned: "Call the generals at all levels for a meeting."

Chapter 528: Three years on May 5, the sunny wind blows all over the Guanshan Mountain

Xixia, when you mention Xixia, everyone will laugh.This Xixia is an interesting country. If you want to say that the structure of this East Asia is different from other places, it can be said that no country here is weak. The Jin Kingdom and Grassland in the north, the Liao Kingdom in the Central Plains, the Song Kingdom in the south and even Dali, Tubo and Heijue in the west.

If people outside want to fight in, they either run in from the vast blue sea, or from the mountains in the southwest, or from the lush jungle in the south. The simplest way is probably Coming from the west.

If you can successfully cross the Persian sea of ​​scimitars in Central Asia and break in, after hundreds of miles, you will encounter an almost perverted opponent. , The style is sturdy, showing a desperate style of play.

But in the end, he was also the one who was kicked out by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, let alone talk about it.Whenever they talk about it, they themselves are not too embarrassed.

Going a thousand miles east, you will meet men on the grassland. They will wave their locks, chase people for dozens of miles, and then surround and kill the intruders like pigs.

But if you can break through even this, you will face the brave infantry of the Liao Kingdom next. They are good at using battles and have flexible tactics. The bow was shot into a hornet's nest.

Well, the Liao Kingdom has also passed, and then it will be the Great Song Dynasty.Although the current Song Dynasty is called the Weak Song Dynasty, the Weak Song Dynasty has hundreds of thousands of invulnerable infantry armor, which cannot be injured by a heavy hammer, and the city wall as hard as a mountain, as well as the Eight Bull Crossbow and the Changmo Sword. It can be said that it is impenetrable.

This does not need to hit the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, which has the best riding and shooting skills in the world, and it can consume ten years just outside the Great Song Dynasty.

Only this Xixia, Xixia is the only country in this monster room in East Asia that is nothing. They have indeed been thinking about making great efforts to govern the past few years. They have bred good horses, bought armaments from the Song Dynasty, and bought grain and grass from the Liao Kingdom. , wearing the armor of the Great Song Dynasty, holding the bow and arrow of the Kingdom of Jin in his hands, and eating bread from the Kingdom of Liao in his mouth. When the 30 cavalry array opened, it seemed very brave.

But no one took him seriously. Although he had taken advantage of the border dispute with the Liao State a few years ago, it was because the Liao State was besieged on three sides and had no time to deal with him.But now that the Song-Liao alliance is in place, the grassland will be immobilized for a while, and the Jin Kingdom does not dare to act rashly because of the Song-Liao alliance, so the Liao Kingdom will turn around and punish him.

But Xixia didn't seem to know his own background, and he was full of jokes about Xixia being unmatched, and the incumbent in the Central Plains, which made people laugh and provoke other countries.

Now it is even more daring to directly send troops to invade the border of the Song Dynasty, whether it is tolerable or unbearable.

"It's just Xixia cavalry, not grassland cavalry." Liao's allies said this: "I don't even need the leather army, I can take care of them."

"Haha, people from Xixia." Yang Wenguang, the new East China Sea army, patted the table and said with a smile: "At that time, the imaginary enemy didn't count them."

"Let's fight, it's just training." Song Beiyun said: "They will appear on the left border of Xiangyang City. At that time, all the members of the East China Sea New Army will be dispatched. I will stay and rectify Xiangyang. The follow-up reinforcements should be there in a few days. When the meeting arrives, it’s enough to have the Secretary of Command and the Secretary of Huangcheng here to support us.”

The Imperial City Secretary also has the duties of the military police, and he is a good hand in suppressing it, so Xiao Song is not worried that there will be a mutiny in Xiangyang City.

"As for how to fight, you can decide."

"Master Song, your two thousand are against thirty thousand..." Liao's reinforcements expressed concern: "Although it is possible to attack the city, it can deal with cavalry..."

"It might not be enough to deal with the cavalry on the grassland." Yang Wenguang hurriedly replied: "But to fight the cavalry of Xixia, I can make 1000 people sleep in the barracks."

The reinforcements from the Liao Kingdom glanced enviously at the musket on Yang Wenguang's waist, and then sighed leisurely. Only well-equipped people can speak in such a tone.

"Oh, that's right." Song Beiyun suddenly looked at the ally of the Liao Kingdom: "General Wu, I forgot."

After speaking, he beckoned, and the pro-jun next to him immediately brought a box, and he took the box, opened it and placed it in front of Wu Zhong.

"General Wu, thank you for your bravery in the battle of Xiangyang. I, Song, want to come to respect the warrior, so I will give this hand cannon to the general." Song Beiyun said with a smile: "Afterwards, someone will teach the general how to use it."

When Wu Zhong saw this exquisite musket, his eyes turned green.The exquisitely carved patterns, the gleaming silver barrel, and the murderous shape really made his heart itch.

"Master Song, this is inappropriate..."

"There is nothing inappropriate." Xiao Song shook his head and said, "A brave man should be worthy of this gift."

"Accept it, General Wu." Yang Wenguang also echoed beside him: "Shuai Yun is kind, and thank you for helping me take Xiangyang."

General Wu reached out to take the box out of embarrassment, and then whirled with his fingers, thinking that although this thing is strange, its power on the battlefield is indeed terrifying, and now that he has got one, he must return. After entering the Liao Kingdom, it can attract a lot of envy.

After thanking Song Beiyun, General Wu coughed and said, "My lord Song, the best way to deal with the Xixia invasion this time is actually to meet each other across the river. The Song Dynasty has excellent equipment, and it is absolutely impossible for Xixia to cross the river safely."

"Do not."
