Chapter 1701 The glory of the past
The flames in the palace are still rising.
But it was dead outside.
After searching in the city, all the men and women wandering outside were identified and rushed back to the wall.
There were only soldiers constantly patrolling the streets in the city, with the sound of horse hooves and footsteps mixed together, which sounded particularly monotonous and extremely solemn.
A group of civil and military officials stood in front of the imperial city, looking as if dead.
The Panda Eye civil servant was really lucky. Tonight he was drinking and having fun at home. After drinking too much, he got entangled with Du. After being drunk too much, Du punched him in Panda Eye and actually knocked him out.
At first he was about to kill Du, but now he felt that Du was his lucky star and he had to treat her well when he turned around.
If it weren't for her, he would have come in time before, and then join forces with the civil servants to frame him, and no one would escape in the end.
Now he is the only official who is spared, so proud!
"Chen An came in from the water gate and then ignited it with tinder oil. He even left the words to visit here on the wall. I could think of his expression at that time, and he must be smiling and full of confidence. But what about us?"
Panda Eye's official rank is not the highest here, but now these officials are guilty, so he is the most detached, so he dares to counterattack.
Life is refreshing because of a counterattack!
He only felt that the wind was coming from under his armpits and his spirit was full of energy.
"We were in a mess, and even Chen An shot his colleagues in the dark and didn't know that, and they even killed each other... This man actually made a mess of Youzhou City, which was indeed a great method."
Panda Eye sighed, "These are all secondaries. What are I most worried about at this moment? Do you know?"
"The morale of the people!" he roared: "The men in the city will talk about what homeland and what homeland they are. They will feel that the Great Liao is weakening, while the Song people are constantly growing and growing, and they will naturally be interested in their homeland. This is the most terrifying thing!"
"Yes!" a civil servant smiled bitterly, "Have you seen the eyes of those people before? Some are confused, some are excited. They are confused because they make a choice between Liao and Song. And they are excited because they feel that the Liao is weak. This Liao... is about to be in turmoil."
And morale!
"Decades ago, Zhao Kuangyi led the army to the northern expedition and attacked Youzhou City very eagerly, but the Han'er in the city joined forces to defend Youzhou City, which eventually led to his defeat. At that time, the Great Liao Dynasty was full of vitality, but what about now?"
The shoulders of the panda's eyes collapsed, "The Song people defeated us several times, and now they burned the morale of Youzhou City. I remember that the Song army fought fiercely with our reinforcements outside the city, and the soldiers and civilians in the city shouted in unison, with great momentum. The Song army was shocked and defeated immediately.
Now that the Song people are going to make another Northern Expedition, will those Han men contribute to the Great Liao? Will they shout for the Great Liao?"
Everyone was depressed, and someone said, "The fire is small."
Everyone looked into the palace and saw the fire gradually shrinking and looking slightly red.
Someone blurted out, "It's like setting sun...the setting sun is like blood!"
They slowly returned.
Those walls blocked countless sights, but they could feel the restlessness.
In a wealthy family, Duan Xiping sat on the upper head, his wife Du sat on the side, and his two sons sat on the bottom.
The family was having a meal, and Duan Tao said excitedly: "Dad, it's that Chen An who is here."
Duan Xiping nodded, "It was Chen An who came. He lit the fire in the palace and shot the noble man again, which led us to kill each other and finally left calmly."
Du put down his chopsticks, and there was a worry between his eyebrows, "Official, Chen An is said to be very powerful. When he comes, will the army be right behind?"
"It's still early." Duan Xiping shook his head and said, "If the Song people wanted to fight the north, the army they mobilized would definitely be more than 100,000. You don't know, if tens of thousands of people are boundless, there will be nowhere to hide 100,000 people? So if the Song people were fighting the north, we would definitely be able to find out the news here."
Du sighed: "With this war, I don't know who will win or lose..."
"Of course we win!" Duan Xiping glared at his wife, but turned his head and found his two sons winking, and said angrily: "What are you not good at eating raw?"
Duan Tao said, "Dad, are we Han'er?"
After many generations, the Han Er in the Youyan Land gradually forgot their homeland. They did not regard themselves as Han Er, and later they were proud of destroying the Song Dynasty.
In an era when the concept of a country is weak, it only takes a few generations to completely dissipate the so-called concept of homeland.
Duan Xiping cursed: "What man? There is nothing to do!"
Duan Tao is seventeen years old, strong and has a hot personality. Hearing this, he said, "But Dad, last time you said that our ancestors were Han'er."
"That's because I've drunk too much for my father."
Duan Xiping stared and said, "Eat!"
The father's majesty played a role, and the two sons were obedient to eat.
Du suddenly looked up, "Official, listen..."
Duan Xiping tilted his head.
"...You haven't seen the Han army, and the weak crowns are the enemy who are in charge of the long-standing chariot."
"Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, the Jueyu Light Cavalry urged to fight against the clouds."
Duan Xiping gently tapped the table with chopsticks and sang in a low voice, "A man should be in a serious danger, how can he let fame and fortune be ruined in this life? What's more, the country is as dangerous as eggs... What's more, the country is as dangerous as eggs... What's more, the country is as dangerous as eggs..."
He let go of the chopsticks, suddenly covering his face and choked up.
"Dad!"
"Official!"
Duan Xiping shook his head, "I thought of what Weng Weng said before he died. He said... We are Han'er! Han'er who once swept across the border..."
The voice still came in slightest, "Give up my pen and write my wartime pride. I called out more than 100,000 comrades, sang war songs and joined the army. I joined the army, cleaned up Hu dust, and sweared to sweep away the cruelty and ignored my own lives!"
Duan Xiping looked up, "I just didn't want to cause trouble before... This is a lyric written by Chen An. Zhong Jun is a young official from the former Han Dynasty. He was a heroic young man and volunteered to go on a mission to Nanyue..."
The candlelight was swaying. Seeing that the father and son were talking seriously, Du was attentive and smiled, and began to pack up the leftovers.
"...Ban Dingyuan is Ban Chao. In the former Han Dynasty, Ban Chao led 36 cavalry to roam many countries outside the territory..."
Duan Tao said excitedly: "Dad, is our man so powerful?"
Duan Xiping smiled and said, "Our Han'er... Your great-grandfather said that the Han'er swept the world and no one can defeat him. The alien race could only huddle in front of the city wall outside the pass..."
Duan Feng and Duan Feng said longingly: "How heroic is this!"
Duan Xiping smiled and said, "It's not heroic, but... looking down on the world. Your great-grandfather said that during the Han and Tang dynasties, Han'er dared to travel all over the world with one man, one horse and one sword. At that time..."
He said with some melancholy: "It's just that when I arrived in the southern country... no, when I arrived in the Song Dynasty, I became weak."
Duan Tao lay on the table and raised his head and said, "Dad, they used to say that the Southern people were timid, just like Du!"
"Yes." Duan Xiping sneered: "In the past, the Song people valued literature and over military affairs, and even the Jiaozhi people dared to bully them. It was said to be timid. The Central Plains had never seen such a cowardly emperor, which was embarrassing!"
This is a tone of regret.
Duan Feng asked, "But Dad, we have all been defeated by the Song people several times."
The people love their youngest son!
Duan Xiping reached out to touch Duan Feng's head and said kindly: "Yes! Later, the new policy began over there. I began to feel that it was the same as the new policy in Qingli's year. It was meaningless. Who knew that the Song Dynasty had changed indifferently."
Du packed up and sat down and smiled, "The people there would have escaped before, but now it's different. It's said that the taxes there have been reduced, no service, no loan sharks, and life is amazing!"
"There is a reason here." Duan Xiping said: "Anyone who shouts loudly will not be able to do anything. Only those who do things silently will be the easiest to succeed."
Duan Tao nodded, "Those who are incompetent and those who are guilty need to shout loudly, as if they are capable."
"Yes!" Duan Xiping was very relieved when he saw Duan Tao's cleverness.
Duan Tao asked, "Dad, then Shen An said he was a famous general, what did he do with the Song people?"
Duan Xiping looked up and thought, "That man... Dalang, he is only a few years older than you. His father was Shen Bian, the governor of Xiongzhou. Shen Bian was determined to fight the northern expedition. At that time, there were countless people laughing at Shen Bian in Youzhou City. Later, Shen Bian disappeared, and Shen An took his sister to Bianliang, and then it started..."
"He is the descendant of the Mixue lineage and was a master in the Song Dynasty. He is also a famous general. He has his own shadow when the Western thief was destroyed and the Jiaozhi was destroyed."
"Your Majesty was almost burned to death by him that year, and he was even defeated later..."
Duan Xiping suddenly glanced at his wife and smiled, "There is another rumor that the Liang family of Xixia and Shen An had some connection."
Du likes this gossip the most, and immediately said, "It's not a rumor, it's true! Then Shen An also wrote a poem for Liang, which can be called a famous article... The silk clouds make tricks, the flying stars convey hatred..."
After chanting a poem, Duan Tao couldn't help but praise: "Good words!"
"That person..." Duan Xiping whispered: "That person and our empress are also a little confused."
"Is this amazing?" Duan Tao said he had kissed and was preparing to get married in the past two years.
The boy was moved and naturally became more sensitive to these men and women's affairs. So when he heard that Shen An could get involved with the queen and queen mother of the two countries, he couldn't help but admire him.
This is Shen An’s first fan in Liao Kingdom.
"Shen An came to Youzhou City, most of the time he was preparing for the Northern Expedition."
Duan Xiping didn't know whether he should be happy or worried, "Once the army headed north, there would definitely be a big battle here in Youzhou City. Our family... was worried about this for our father."
He was worried, but his two sons were eager to try, "Dad, we are Han'er, and we should not be the main force of the Liao people. If the army goes north, why don't we do it anyway?"
"Anyway?"
Duan Xiping's heart moved and looked at his wife.
Du nodded with a smile, "I'm listening to you."
Duan Xiping sighed: "Will you go, let's take a look for your father."
Duan Tao winked at his younger brother and the two brothers went out.
In the yard, Duan Tao said to his younger brother: "Then Chen An is so powerful. If you say you want to join the army, you should go to his command."
Duan Feng nodded, "Brother, you love studying. Then you will take the imperial examination and become a Han official."
Duan Tao nodded, "Okay, we don't be officials of Liao people, but only in this way can we be proud!"
The two brothers looked at each other and laughed.
Tonight, I don’t know how many people are talking about this topic.
And Chen An's lyrics are constantly being sung.
"You haven't seen the Han army, and the weak crowns are the enemy who are in charge of the long-standing chariot."
"Don't you see, Ban Dingyuan, the Jueyu Light Cavalry urged to fight against the clouds."
