My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 62: The long and leisurely world to commemorate the mighty military front

The sky slowly rises above the clouds.

Business travelers entering and exiting Ding'an stopped two hundred feet away from the army outside the east city gate, looking at the towers in the distance and muttering. More and more curious people came to watch the excitement.

The people in the city also flocked to the east market, occupying the empty spaces on the ground, in the streets, and in the teahouses and restaurants. On the city tower where countless eyes were looking, a white flag suddenly stood up, and there was an uproar.

"What is this for?"

"Is it to pay homage to the prince?"

Many people have speculated, and there are also discerning literati who feel an inexplicable excitement in their hearts. It is very likely that they will witness a historical moment in person today.

Such an atmosphere spread quickly. The Ding'an government had actually been prepared for the possible chaos in the streets. Sun Shuwu, the prefect of Ding'an, stayed up for several nights and even had a few more gray hairs.

On the street under martial law, a prison car was being arrested and the policemen were about to take it to the city. The people in the prison car probably knew who the people on the street were. Among the onlookers, there were people from the Jianghu and idlers who picked up stones and threw them at the prison car. , and the hot tea was poured down from the second floor of the tea house. The guards hurriedly came over to drink it, but did not embarrass them. They just drove the people away. Some of the libertines who got the advantage even climbed onto the trees on the street. He spat several times on the people in the prison car.

Yang Jun felt pain on his face and head. He huddled in the prison car and held his head, begging people on the street outside to stop beating him.

Soon, the prison car stopped at the East Gate Tower.

On the stone steps on one side, Su Chen, who was fully armored and tied with a hemp rope, ignored the doubtful voices of his family behind him. In the intertwined eyes, he stepped up the steps with a solemn and stern look, and the moment he lifted his steps and fell , he paused.

Step on it and everything will be different.

Su Chen raised his face and looked at the stone steps extending up, slightly in a trance. No one could see the emotional fluctuations in his eyes, the memories of the past, and the smiling face of his brother.

"...became a child..."

"Is this called the Yan Kingdom? It's not the Yan Kingdom of the Murong family... The Beigong family has never heard of it."

"Chen'er, what did you do again? Why did you keep those tablets at home?!"

……

Thoughts flashed by, Su Chen's eyes were focused, he stepped steadily on the stone steps with hovering steps, and walked slowly upward.

……

"Little brother, come to big brother!"

Under the shade of a tree, a boy of thirteen or fourteen waved to him with a gentle smile.

"Don't worry, big brother will protect you!"

At the dinner table, his long-married brother smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

……

Su Chen walked slowly one step after another, with slight moisture marks at the corners of his eyes.

……

"Then please leave it to my third brother."

The departing figure stopped and punched him lightly on the chest, "If you don't like the eldest brother, don't show it. From now on, the eldest brother will look for a few more beautiful concubines for you."

It was a long journey, and the older brother stood on the road and cupped his hands: "Brother, I will be away for a while, and the family will rely on you. Father, I will help you more when I have time. When the time comes, my eldest brother will bring you a gift from the capital."

The dying guard struggled to squeeze his hand: "Third Young Master, I failed to protect the Crown Prince well."

"My name is Su Yong, and the Su family is not afraid of death!"

The scene in the memory stopped. It was on the snow. A messy figure took out a dagger from his sleeve. He looked at the figures coming towards him and put the weapon on his neck.

When his thoughts turned around, Su Chen was already standing on the top of the city. The plain white flag in front of him had a big word "Dian" written on it.

He looked back at the stone steps he was walking towards. The family members and people on the street below him became dwarfed. They pursed their lips and did not dare to look over.

"Brother, after today..." Su Chen turned around, took a deep breath, and walked towards the wall in front, "...after today, I will avenge you, and this piece of Yan soil will also be under my feet."

Whispering words on his lips, he approached the wall, and Guo Jia and Xun Yu on one side bowed to him.

The skylight illuminated the shadows of people reflected on the city wall floor tiles. They stood still and walked solemnly. The red catkins of 'Xue Jian' were lightly swaying. Soldiers on both sides were walking in unison. Their armors and weapons collided with each other and made a clanging sound.

Swordsmen, swords and halberds are arranged on the left and right.

A soldier brought a wooden tray over. Su Chen took the wine glass and held it over his head, looking at the dark figures below, and then poured the wine horizontally, his voice was steady and thick.

"This glass of wine is a tribute to this world, which has opened up the foundation of survival for me and even the thousands of people in the city! The drought has lasted for several months and the sky has been ruthless, but there is also gentle and silent rain and dew, and there is also the lush green earth, which supports our houses and fields. !”

He put down the empty glass, raised another one, looked at the tens of thousands of troops outside the city, and the wine slowly poured down the city.

"The second cup is to honor the protection of the spirits of our ancestors and ancestors in heaven, as well as the heroic spirits who have died fighting against the imperial soldiers and horses in recent days. I would like to say to them here: Drink victory——"

"This third cup..." Su Chen paused while holding the drink, "It is a sacrifice to the people who died in the drought for several months, to the prince Su Yong who worked hard for the drought, and also to the gods and ghosts in the world..." "

The jade cup held in both hands fell down again, and then roared out: "Sacrifice... This future war, or the journey, or the battlefield, or the pain may pass away, tens of thousands of brave warriors who will fight bravely for Ding'an to have peace." Cheese--"

The high-pitched voice echoed over the fields and the city. Su Congfang thought of her dead eldest son. Su Huan closed her eyes and sobbed softly. Su Lie silently clenched his only remaining fist; Guo Jia and Xun Yu nodded with a satisfied smile. .

In the open field, Dong Zhuo grinned, raised his hand and patted the horse's head, his eyes full of admiration; Lu Bu's eyes were complicated, and he glanced around. Many soldiers were secretly wiping the corners of their eyes. Zhang Liao looked solemn beside him. There was a halo of memories in his eyes, as if he had seen Mr. Cao standing on the bronze bird platform, holding wine and dancing with his sword, and he was so powerful. Le Jin squeezed the handle of the sword tightly, and his whole body trembled slightly.

The sun climbed up between the clouds, and a faint warm light shone on the face.

On the tower, Su Chen's voice slowly sounded again.

"You know that I, Su Chen, actually don't have any great ambitions. I just want to laugh and curse in Ding'an City, and live my whole life in peace and quiet under the protection of my father and brother. My ancestor, the hussar general Su Hu, has made such great contributions, and I am blessed. However, since the drought, the imperial court has not cared about it and has relied on the meager grain to support the victims who are waiting for food..."

"...for several months, the bark of the trees has been scraped away, the grass roots have been dug up, and the birds and animals have eaten almost the same. In these months, how many people have died of starvation, and how many people have changed their sons to eat! Where is the court? They are here What to do?! They were in the bright and luxurious hall, singing, dancing, drinking and having fun, and they also held court meetings. During that time, they didn't want to take another look at the hungry people in several states!"

Su Chen's eyes were cold, but his voice was extremely loud.

"When did the people in several states become so hungry, with no clothes to cover their bodies, and no food to eat? When did they die as easily as ants!"

The sky was dazzling, and roaring words resounded through the city walls.

"...You all come from common people's families. If your parents, wives, and children die of hunger, and you watch your family being destroyed, can you swallow this bad breath!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

"kill!"

The bright sky illuminated the figures one after another, and shouts erupted neatly from the sea of ​​tens of thousands of soldiers below the city. Spears hit the ground one after another, forming a huge wave that rushed into the sky.

The huge sound resounded throughout the city and outside the city. The eyes of the people on the street were slightly hot, and they also started shouting. The sound lingered and lingered for a long time.

Xun Yu pressed the sword's head, turned and walked to Su Chen's side, took the silk from someone else, raised it and unfolded it.

"In the second year of Kaiqian's reign, Su Congfang, the Marquis of Ding'an, informed the meritorious princes, governors, prefects, department supervisors, county soldiers, company leaders, Dayin, Yin, and Wei team officials, subordinates, and orders:
My great ancestor of the Su clan, the Yan Kingdom, was a meritorious official of the Dragon Dynasty, rose to the rank of General of Hussars, and was granted the title of Marquis of Ding'an.Since being granted the title, I have only known how to follow the rules and abide by the law. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he respects thieves, trusts traitors, and kills loyal people. Grand Master Wen Bi, other officials and generals, without stopping them, caused great disasters and massacred my son.

My eldest son is a kind, virtuous and knowledgeable man, but he is framed by the eunuch who collected the test papers, replaced the test papers, and deceived the emperor. I want to inflict the crime on him, so why bother?Furthermore, I have failed to teach my children well, evil cults are rampant under my rule, and my name has been stained by dereliction of duty.

The number of hungry people under my rule is small, the city is stable, the river is clear and the sea is flowing, and not an inch of grass in the city is damaged. This is not the rhetoric of the new emperor.In fact, they seize the power of meritorious deeds and divide the county.Si Jue's ancestor, exposed to the frost and dew, chopped off the thorns, only then could he have a sizeable land.Nowadays, the chaos and thieves in our country are in power, causing harm to the people of the world and blaspheming the kings of the Great Yan Dynasty..."

……

In Ding'an City, above the Su Mansion, three figures stood between the green tiles on the roof.

"The Su family, with such a demeanor, must be like an orphan. That's why this article sounds familiar. Mr. Xuande, what do you think?"

There was a man beside Cao Cao, with gray hair on his temples, a body length of seven feet and five, with quite big ears. He was wearing an emperor's robe, wearing cloud shoes, and had a seal tied around his waist. When he heard the question, his expression was as usual, and he just spoke softly.

"An Message to Discuss Cao Cao"

Cao Cao: "..."

……

"... There are no honest ministers in the present government, and there are evil spirits within. The people raise an army to attack them, and try to clear out the evil of the emperor. This disaster is forcing me to bow down. I really want to survive, but I have no choice. Loyalty and evil are irreconcilable, and they must be punished by heaven. In order to secure the country, if there is any disobedience, the military force will quell it.

I will command the world and regain my title.Then he returned to the army to shake up the brigade, with bows and drums lying down.Deuteronomy commanded the people to stay in their own place, and the common people had no responsibility as sons.The benevolence and justice of this feudal lord have always been written, and rewards and punishments have been clear for a long time.Those who come first will be rewarded without fail, and those who come later will be punished unexpectedly.A body's misfortunes and blessings are reflected in the hair; eternal honors and honors are fought for in an instant.The teacher no longer lifts up, the time no longer comes.

Guangyi Enxin announced that all the states in the country would raise volunteers to support the Yan State and the State. He also informed the family and the country of their thoughts, so that they would avoid fighting each other and fighting in the same room. "

As he slowly read the message, Su Chen pursed his lips tightly, glanced at the white flag with the word "Dian", and slowly pulled out his sword.

With the flag fluttering, Su Chen raised the blade of his sword and raised it above his head in the light of the sky. He paused with the voice of the proclamation and spoke forcefully: "Today I lead the hussar general, and you will prepare your troops to fight for thousands of people." If we enjoy peace, we can only send our troops and continue marching north, you guys!! Are you afraid of death?!"

"Don't be afraid!"

Countless voices gathered together, rushed into the sky, and shook the sky.

The blade of the blade drew a path in the sunlight. Su Chen looked at the dark soldiers and horses outside the city, and the blade trembled softly.

"——Northern Expedition!"

In the roaring voice, the cloak slowly moved.

On the city wall, Yang Jun, the governor of Lingzhou, knelt down. Dian Wei stepped forward and chopped off his head with a halberd to sacrifice the flag!
The entire city of Ding'an was agitated with soldiers and horses, and countless people started running along the official roads and in the mountains and forests. One message after another was gathered in the running, and the real war began as fast horses were sent to various states.

Soon after, Su Chen established himself in Ding'an and sent out a message that spread throughout the states. A hundred thousand troops marched from the borders of Rongzhou. As the commander of this army, He Jinchen would feel unprecedented pressure.
