Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 285
Liyang is located at the water and land hub of the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River, and it is the first choice to use troops for the north-south confrontation.From here, the great river turns to the north and south, and it is named Hengjiang. Once it crosses the river, it will be the fertile land of Jiangdong.

In addition to its unique shape and geography, Liyang is also one of the few fertile lands in the north of the great river. Within Zhaoguan and under Tianmen Mountain, the fertile soil is continuous, the water is clear and the fields are beautiful, and it is known as the land of fish and rice.

Today's Liyang is slightly different from the old days.Shao Ling Gong Su Jun, who guards this place, although his military strategy is prosperous, his military rule is unavoidably inferior.From the west bank of the great river to the land, there are continuous fortresses that can hardly be seen.Many former military settlements are completely abandoned, and the ditches built in the early years have been filled with weeds, and now they are only used as pastures for grazing horses, and various abandoned ordnance are scattered everywhere in the grass.

In the remote area outside the camp, there are continuous shacks, where a large number of Nandu refugees live. Because there are no official farmland in the Liyang area, and the county government has no time to organize resettlement, they can only stay here for a long time.As for his source of livelihood, on the one hand, he forages in the wild, and on the other hand, he has to make ends meet by working for the county government and the army. Life is extremely difficult.

For these refugees who are forced to stay here, the best way to improve their living conditions is to be recruited into the army.But the most indispensable thing in the Liyang army is elite soldiers, and how can ordinary people be easily selected.Therefore, the vast majority of people can only hope that the generals will drive them into the mountains to log, or to wade through the canals, in exchange for a meager ration.But if they can't even do these drudgery, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled can only lie in the huts and wait to die.

From time to time in the wilderness, soldiers will roar past on horses. No matter where they hunt, it will be a catastrophe for the refugees there.A large number of people were driven into the wilderness, driving and gathering their prey in groups. During the process, many people were naturally killed by the minions of the beasts.

Those who died suddenly, if they were lucky enough to have relatives at home, they could collect their corpses, while the middle-class ones would expose their corpses to the wilderness, decaying with the grass and trees, and after a long time, the bones would be covered with weeds.As for the worst ones, the corpses were all picked up and washed, and then put into boiling soup as rations.

Different from the two worlds in the wilderness, inside and outside, are the luxurious garden villas of the commanders and generals located around the county.Although the people's livelihood in Liyang is declining today, it is not that there is no way to make money. Liyang's own excellent natural environment, bamboo and wood in the mountains and plains, as well as various minerals that can be used for smelting and casting, and abundant labor that is almost completely free of cost are enough to make people People make a lot of money.

What's more, in the early years when Liyang and the central center had not yet had a bad relationship, a large amount of military equipment, rice, food, luggage and other resources were continuously transported here, and they were transported northward to Yuzhou, making huge profits.Therefore, the wealth of the generals in Liyang is really not enough for outsiders.

However, with the passage of time, Liyang's superior and detached status in the early years gradually disappeared. The most notable change is that the boats transporting luggage from the Gyeonggi line gradually became scarce.And as those malicious eyes from other places focused on this place, the situation in Liyang gradually became embarrassing.For those vagrant commanders who are used to the leisurely years in the past, this gradually becomes unbearable.

More than ten miles away from the south of Liyang County, there is an extremely open mountain depression. The flags and flags are flying here, the camps are layered, and the soldiers are heavily guarded. There is a grand building on the hillside in the middle. The location of Shi Zhongjun's big account.There are more than [-] soldiers stationed here all the year round, they are the elite soldiers in the Liyang Army.

Inside the gate are several long lines of horses, and hundreds of soldiers are stationed here to strictly check the entry and exit of people and so on.The sharp armor, the cold glow of the weapons, and the strong and burly physique made people shudder.

After rejecting the horse, there is a well-organized camp, with a flat and wide road leading directly to the Chinese military camp, and the two sides of the road are connected with trails leading to various camps.Fireproof sand is always prepared near the camps on the trail, and various ordnance are piled up in the slightly wider open space between the camps.When there is no drill or assignment, the soldiers stay in their tents to recharge their batteries, or engage in some games with military characteristics under the organization of the chief and the school lieutenant.

There is a huge school field close to the Chinese army, and above the school field is an earth-stone-based commanding platform.Diagonally opposite, is the execution ground exuding a cold and bloody atmosphere.Now on the execution ground, there are nearly [-] people kneeling there with their arms cut behind their backs and their chests exposed.

Some of those who were about to be sentenced had pale faces and trembling, while others had fierce eyes and yelled curses, and many swear words and slang words were unbearable to the ear.However, no matter what postures or reactions these people took, it was difficult to shake the minds of those executioners in the slightest.

As the daylight gradually moved into the field, a prisoner general shouted: "Cut!"

The light of the knife flew, blood burst out, and more than twenty heads were suddenly thrown into the air and pulled on the beam.Under the messy beard and hair, there is still a terrified expression, that picture is horrible!And below, those headless corpses spouted more than half a foot of blood from their chest cavity, pouring the execution platform full of plasma without turning their heels!After a long time, the body slowly fell into a pool of blood.

"Send to each battalion!"

Following the general's scream, a group of knights galloped forward, suddenly picked up the bamboo spears in their hands, and pierced those bloody and ferocious heads on the bamboo spears, and then rushed towards the various camps.The person who cleared the way in front beat the bronze drum and shouted loudly: "Whoever does not submit to the military order and leaves the camp without permission will be punished by the military law!"

When the soldiers in the camp heard the shout, they poked their heads out one after another, seeing the faces of those heads that were still ticking blood that were picked up on the bamboo spears, their faces were vaguely familiar, they all shuddered and kept silent.

And in the big tent of the Chinese army at this time, the atmosphere was also dignified. Two strong shirtless men knelt under the hall with their arms cut behind their tendons.And those who attended the audience in the hall, or stared at these two people fiercely, their eyes were full of resentment, and some showed unbearable faces, as if they felt deeply sorry for these two people.

Sitting in the hall is a middle-aged man, who is different from others in armor and only wears a gray cloak. He is Su Jun, the coach of this place.Different from the rough and brave image rumored by the outside world, Su Jun himself has a long beard and is facing Fang Zheng. He is majestic but not lacking in a refined posture, which is quite a bit of a celebrity.But if anyone on the battlefield underestimated him because of this, most of them would have to hold grudges against that invincible spearhead!

His face was like this, but Su Jun's mood couldn't be called indifferent. He stared at the two people who were bound down the hall, and his eyes were full of cold resentment.Seeing his appearance, everyone in the hall didn't dare to speak more, and sat upright with a dignified expression.

After a while, Su Jun suddenly sneered, and this sneer alone made people unable to remain calm.Especially the two people in the hall couldn't help shivering, their heads drooped and their foreheads pressed against the ground, they didn't dare to look up.

"When did you two follow me?"

After sneering, Su Jun spoke slowly in the hall.

When those two people heard this question, Dang even was a little bit astonished, thinking that the general was about to talk about their old relationship, they felt a sudden joy in their hearts, and hurriedly said: "The lord went south to Guangling, my brother heard that the lord was brave and able to fight. It has been nearly ten years since Yu Xiangdang voted from the right side of the Huai River to protect the lord's wings..."

"Ten years, how many decades can life have?"

Hearing the two people's answer, Su Jun stroked his beard and let out a sigh, with a rather melancholy expression.

Seeing that Su Jun was nostalgic for the past, as if lingering in old love, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.However, a young man in the banquet shouted: "These two fled in a crowd, against the military law, you must not be forgiven lightly, father!"

The person who spoke was Su Shuo, the son of Su Jun, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Su Jun glanced over coldly, and said in a deep voice: "Among the Chinese army, who is your father? Go down, take off your armor and receive punishment!"

"My lord, Da Lang is just..."

Han Huang on the other side of the table opened his mouth, wanting to intercede for Su Shuo, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Su Jun turned to him with sharp eyes, his heart froze, and he could only shut up in embarrassment.

"In ten years, the spring bamboo shoots can grow ten feet, and Tong'er has become a strong man. You two have followed me for so long, why do you still not know each other?"

Turning his gaze back to those two people, Su Jun said with emotion again: "During the years you've followed me, have you ever not been rewarded for your merits? Have you ever been convicted for doing nothing wrong? Or have I ever done wrong to you two?"

"The lord is very kind, and the rewards and punishments are clear..."

"That being the case, why did you abandon me?"

Hearing the two people's answer, Su Jun laughed at himself, and then asked again.

"me……"

When the two heard this, they couldn't help being exhausted.Everyone knows what the situation in Liyang is like now. Since this year, there have been repeated attempts to escape.The two of them were very unlucky and they were captured again. Even though they had thought in their hearts, they couldn't express it directly at this moment.

"Ha, I just want to treat each other with sincerity, and push me to be like others, so that people will miss me and never give up on each other. It turns out that this is just my own extravagant wish, so stupid."

When he said this, Su Jun's demeanor became more and more gloomy, and he looked a bit self-abandoned.

However, other people in the hall could not remain calm after hearing this, they all stood up in the banquet, bowed their heads and said in worship: "We have all received the lord's kindness, and we will follow you through life and death, and we will never betray you!"

What's more, he has already stepped forward and grabbed those two people, and said angrily: "Such disobedient people will attach themselves when they are strong, and abandon them when they are weak. Everyone spits on them! Even if the military law can survive, human feelings can't be tolerated. It is not enough to comfort the hearts of the people if it is cut off to show the public!"

Hearing this, the faces of the two men changed drastically, they knocked their heads on the ground and roared: "My lord, please forgive me..."

"Forgive me? Human feelings and military laws are all in the hall, I would like to hear, why do you want me to forgive?"

"The two of us have followed the lord for many years. We have fought across the country, and we have not dared to quit. Every time we go to battle, we will forget our lives and kill the enemy first. Even if the old merits are not shown, the old love is not recounted, we are sick and weak, and we just want to return to our hometown and live. ..."

Hearing the mournful voice of these two people, Su Jun's eyes dimmed, and such words were not what he wanted to say.However, so what?

"Pull it down, leave a whole body."

He waved his hands and whispered, seeing the two howling being escorted down the hall by the guards, his demeanor was rather lazy.

　It may not be updated today, the writing is too tangled.Su Jun is definitely not a good person, but he is different from Wang Dunquan's desire to confuse his heart. Any extreme in the description will be different from the original idea.But if good and evil are confused, the relationship will be bad and biased.He doesn't deserve to be pitied, but he doesn't exactly deserve it either. . .I'll stutter slowly, I hope you don't worry. . .
