The only honor of the water cut off

On July [-]th of the third year of Jingyou, Pang's army arrived in Yangwu and took a rest on the bank of the Yellow River. They deployed [-] rear troops to defend the natural danger, set up camps and solidified roads and bridges, and sent [-] advance troops to cross the Yellow River to occupy the area. In Xinxiang, the Chinese army continued northward along the original route.Commander-in-chief Pang Tong has long passed strict orders to the three armies: Do not harass passing business travelers, do not invade people along the way, do not destroy houses and dealers, and anyone who violates the order will be executed regardless of the reason.

In the small town of Yangwu, there was no decent place to settle down. When Pang Feiyan saw her long-lost father in a small farmyard, it was already around midnight on July 22.Feiyan bowed down profusely and called her daddy, tears streaming down her face.

Pang Ji got up to meet her, almost fell off the chair under the mixed surprise, stretched out his arms to hug Feiyan, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Feiyan, you are finally safe and sound."

Pang Tong stood next to the two of them, watching his father, who was usually majestic and indifferent, tearing up and down, as if he was a loving father who loved his daughter deeply. , but was stopped by Pang Ji.

"Tong'er." Pang Ji and Fei Yan supported each other to stand up, seeing that Pang Tong was about to leave, Pang Ji called him very eagerly.

"There is still something to do in the army, so Feiyan will trouble Dad to take care of it." Pang Tong stopped in his tracks, after all, he did not want to turn around.

He didn't want a slightly rough hand to attach to the back of his hand. He held up his palm and felt the warmth of the other's palm.

"Your mother left early, Yu'er was naughty, her life was in danger at a young age, Tong'er had her own ideas when she was young, and it took ten years to go to the border, Yan'er was in the deep palace, it was as difficult as going to heaven to meet. I think my Pang family is so prominent, why is it inferior to ordinary people, and I can’t even have a family relationship.” Pang Ji wiped his tears, held Feiyan with his right hand and Pang Tong with his left hand, and said with a smile: “Now that you are all here, our family is also considered a family. It's a reunion."

In Pang Tong's memory, his father had always been an indifferent man who showed neither emotions nor anger. Even when his mother passed away and Pang Yu was cut in half, he did not shed tears.At this moment, Pang Ji's warm words made Pang Tong somewhat surprised, and finally turned around and looked at him squarely.

"Tianlun is not without it." Pang Tong's tone was a little cold, but he didn't want to say anything disrespectful to his father.

"I know you've been blaming daddy for letting Feiyan enter the palace as a concubine. But, if Feiyan doesn't enter the palace as a concubine, my Pang clan may have been lost long ago!"

"That's not a reason!"

"Second Brother." Feiyan stopped sobbing, and said in a calm voice: "When I entered the palace, Daddy didn't force me at all, I was willing."

Hearing what she said, Pang Tong felt anxious: "Feiyan! No matter how important the Pang family is, it is not an excuse to use your lifelong happiness as a bargaining chip!" Pang Tong clenched the Seven Star Sword in his hand, so angry that it was himself.If, at that time, he was not a penniless stupefied boy, but the Generalissimo, how could he, Zhao Zhen, bully the Pang family.

Feiyan looked at him and said with a faint smile: "Second Brother, do you know where my sister's lifelong happiness lies?"

Pang Tong was at a loss for words for a while, and found that he couldn't understand his sister's expression, nor could he understand this unclear sentence.Seeing the forbearance and fulfillment on Feiyan's still girlish face, he felt mixed emotions.

"This time when the Pang family launched an army, the emperor did not kill me, it is considered as a kindness, Feiyan does not regret it."

"Yan'er, it's not that my father doesn't care about your life or death, but that the situation is too urgent, and the emperor presses you round after round. Among the students of the Pang family, there are four principal and deputy envoys of the third department, five senior officials, ten members of the Privy Council, and ten members of the Imperial Academy. Nine people, and the remaining six departments are countless. Half of the money, grain and government affairs in the Song Dynasty are in the hands of your father, and half of the army is in the hands of Tonger. Back then, the Empress Dowager Liu did not dare to move, and the little emperor did not dare to move. Since the Taimiao public trial On the surface, the emperor was benevolent and generous, allowing Tong'er to resign and go back to seclusion, but in fact the Pang family has deep roots, and it is necessary to eradicate them one by one before the country is shaken."

"Not long after the emperor came to power, the city was full of scheming. He cut off the wings of the Pang family in the open and in the dark. Two of the three envoys were imprisoned. One was executed as a political advisor, one was exiled into the army, and the members of the Privy Council were changed three times. In the past half a year, it has been even more difficult. The more blatant it is to dispatch the Yinlongguard, if I don't take advantage of the Pang family's strength to resist and fight to the death, I will end up killing everyone in the end."

"Daddy, stop talking, Feiyan understands."

Pang Tong sighed softly, and said solemnly: "Father, Feiyan, you all should rest earlier." After finishing speaking, he opened the door and walked out.

------------

Even if there are more than a hundred members of the Pang family's direct and collateral clans, there are only two of them who are real close relatives.This trip into the palace was really dangerous, and it was extremely lucky to save Feiyan and escape, Pang Tong's heart was half at ease.

The autumn night is refreshing, the night sky is like washing, although the late moon is incomplete, it is better than the bright, the Yellow River is straight at the end of the flood season, the rolling yellow water, the nine tunes reverberate, rushing down at the deep ditch on the bank, the waves fly away, and there is a bang. The sound is endless.

Pang Tong sat high on a protruding rock on the bank, carrying a jug of wine, with the rushing water of the Yellow River under his feet.

Light footsteps sounded from behind, and a smile appeared on Pang Tong's lips. He raised his head and took a sip of wine, and said leisurely, "Didn't I tell you to go to bed early? Don't complain about the march tomorrow."

A soft and boneless white hand stretched out and easily snatched the flagon from Pang Tong's hand. "The Generalissimo didn't take a break, and he was drinking here in disregard of military discipline." After finishing speaking, the woman sat down by Pang Tong, raised her head and drank a big mouthful of wine, coughing until she choked.

Pang Tong said with a smile: "This is the burning knife liquor that soldiers drink. Do you think it is the sweet-scented osmanthus wine in the palace?"

"Daughter of Jiangmen, how come you don't know how to drink strong wine." After finishing speaking, the woman took another sip, getting used to the pungent taste of the strong wine, and unexpectedly tasted some lingering fragrance.

"Hehehe." Pang Tong looked at his younger sister dotingly: "Feiyan, you have changed."

Feiyan wiped the corner of her lips: "Brother, you have changed too."

Pang Tong raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Where did it change?"

Feiyan returned the jug to him, stared at him for a moment: "Your eyes."

"In the past, my brother's eyes were full of fortitude and persistence, but now there is more tenderness and loneliness." Feiyan tilted her head on her knees, and asked softly, "Brother, who are you missing?"

Pang Tong was a little embarrassed by this sudden sentence. Since he started his army, he has rarely had any free time. It's too hypocritical to think about something.Knowing that he was saved by the emperor and that his life was safe is the best news.

"Hmph, little girl, when did you learn to read faces?" Pang Tong raised his head and took a sip of wine, his eyelids drooped, looking at the rushing water under his feet.

"Is that yes or no?" Feiyan insisted.

"So what, so what if I don't, I'm afraid he hates me now and gnashes his teeth."

"That's right." Feiyan giggled, "I really want to see what kind of person he is, who can make my brother, who is wise, powerful, mad and crazy, and has countless young girls, drink alcohol in a daze in the middle of the night."

Pang Tong gave her a white look and continued to drink his wine.

"Brother, happiness is only when a person's heart is divided in half." Feiyan hugged her knees and buried her head in her arms: "A lifetime is not only for yourself, but also for others, and to be needed by others. It is happiness." As Feiyan spoke, her voice choked up, tears easily formed in her eyes, the round teardrops overflowed from her eye sockets, stained her smooth face, and dripped onto her skirt.

"Feiyan!" Pang Tong frowned.

"Brother, if you really took Zhao Zhen's throne, please don't kill him, please?" Feiyan looked at Pang Tong squarely, with two completely different emotions of sadness and determination in her eyes, looking at him with a burning spirit : "Relegate him to a commoner, and send him to any frontier in the southeast, north, or west."

Pang Tong was shocked by Feiyan's eyes, and suddenly understood the meaning of her sentence of lifelong happiness.

"I will accompany him, the ends of the earth."

----------------

The next day, [-] vanguards rushed to Xinxiang. Xinxiang was neither a border nor a major town. The armed forces could not compete with the regular army. They just shot two arrows and opened the city gate. Mo Ping worshiped, Mo Ping sneered, stationed most of the troops around Xinxiang, and only led a small group of soldiers into the city.

Zhang Tao, a lieutenant under General Yang Zhiyong in the south, was very unhappy and led his own troops to enter the city. Mo stopped him with a spear and said coldly: "General Pang has an order that the troops must not disturb the people." .”

"I'm under General Yang's subordinate, I'm not under the control of Pang Tong!" He suffered a lot of yin on the road, and had long been brooding over Mo Ping's submission, so he seized this opportunity and drew out the sword at his waist to point it at Mo Ping's spear.

"I want to enter the city, what can I do to you!" Zhang Tao swung his long sword and attacked Mo Ping. Turning into several layers of waves, the white tassels on the handle of the gun trembled like pear blossoms falling from a tree, and in an instant, a bright red sprayed out from the tip of the gun.

Mo broke Zhang Tao's throat with a single move, leaving no room for the lore move, Zhang Tao's subordinates were horrified for a moment, and they all couldn't help taking a step back.

Just listen to Mo Ping's deep voice, which steadily penetrated the ears of [-] troops and the people of Xinxiang: "Those who do not obey the general's orders will be killed, and those who harass the people will be killed."

On the third day, when the Northern Army arrived at Qi County, they stopped advancing. Pang's army, based on Xinxiang and supplemented by Hui County, formed a confrontation with the Northern Army.

Since drinking on the bank of the Yellow River that night, Pang Feiyan has never been able to see Pang Tong alone again. She can't go in the barracks or on horseback. She doesn't know how the battle is going, nor the final result. What will it be, in short, it will not be good.

"Yan'er, this is already in the mountains. The dew is heavy and the wind is cool. Standing in the wind with such thin clothes, you are not afraid of catching cold." Pang Ji took a thick cloak and covered Feiyan's shoulders.

"Father." Feiyan forced out a smile, unable to hide the worried expression on her face, Pang Ji stroked her hair as she did when she was a child, and said, "Yan'er, don't worry, there is a father and your brother In the past, it was my father who was sorry for you, but it won’t happen in the future.” Pang Ji looked into the distance, and raised the corner of his mouth: “Look, this great mountain and river will be ours, and my Pang family doesn’t have to worry about serving the emperor anymore. There is no need to endure the separation of flesh and blood, everything will be ours!"

Pang Jinian was in his fifties, his wrinkled face showed the smugness of young people, he spoke very generously, but Feiyan saw it very unpleasantly, swallowed what he wanted to say, and just swallowed it. He murmured: "Father, this mountain and river has been here since ancient times and never belonged to anyone."

Pang Ji frowned, and said seriously: "Feiyan, don't think all this is meaningless. As the patriarch of the Pang family, I have the responsibility to continue the family glory. I also love my homeland deeply and cannot bear her being trampled on. The Great Song Dynasty There are Liao people invading and threatening in the north, and Dangxiang in the west. The royal Zhao family is cowardly and values ​​culture over military. If there is no your brother guarding the northern border, I am afraid that the Liao people have already invaded the hinterland of the Central Plains. It will become a serious trouble."

"The emperor is weak. He hangs Buddhist beads all day long. He can't guard the world. He is really not worthy of the king of ten thousand chariots."

Fei Yan didn't say anything more, and said softly: "Yes, Daddy."

The author has something to say:
