Chapter 82 Return(2/2)
Zhao Jiu met Yue Fei and others first, and without stopping, he went to the Khitan army. After meeting with many Khitan officers under Yelu Dashi, as well as Bilege and others, the two emperors were not vulgar people, but Yelu
Dashi immediately raised his hand slightly, and Zhao Jiu returned the courtesy slightly, then marched directly abreast, leading countless soldiers and soldiers to set off... They had been marching like this for more than a month before.
The army is magnificent, especially when the autumn harvest is approaching at the foot of Helan Mountain. The mountains are on the right, like galloping horses galloping into the sky; the river is far to the left, and the light can be seen in the distance across the golden sea of wheat. However, the army still follows the strict military discipline as when Yue Fei was the commander.
, only went west to the foot of Helan Mountain, and then turned south along the mountain, with Long Hu as the leader. Along the way, various flags meandered along the mountain, but they were fluttering in the autumn wind, which was really spectacular.
At noon, Yelu Dashi tried to persuade him, but Zhao Guan's family caught his hand on the horse. He said that after this farewell, he didn't know when we would meet again, so he had to send him off again. Yelu Dashi couldn't bear it, so he could only agree. .
So the two of them rode together and continued to walk along Helan Mountain for a while. In the afternoon, the sun had already set behind the tall Helan Mountain. When they reached a mountain pass, they suddenly saw the autumn sunshine reflected on the yellow sand across the mountain, and they couldn't help but stop their horses.
At this point, both of them knew that it was difficult to send them off. Behind them were Yue Fei, Xiao Weili, and all the generals and people gathered around, waiting for the Emperor Zhao Song and the Khitan Emperor to speak.
"His Majesty!"
Yelu Dashi, who was on the right side of the two men, was dressed in cloth with a curtain hat and a gold belt around his waist, which was a gift from Zhao Guan's family. After looking at the grand scene to the west for a while, he suddenly turned around and smiled. He was the first one. He opened his mouth and said, "What mountains, waters, land and scenery!"
"Who says it's not?" Zhao Jiu sat on the horse, holding the reins and laughing when he heard the words. "It's just that there are great rivers and mountains in this world, so what's not magnificent? We people must do our best, and we can't let these rivers and mountains down. good."
"Your Majesty has never failed the Song Dynasty!"
"Da Shi Lin Ya has never let down his family!" Zhao Jiu, whose eyes were slightly bloodshot, smiled softly. "I also asked Da Shi Lin Ya to atone for my sins. I called him before leaving, but I am used to this title."
"It doesn't matter." Yelu Dashi replied with a sigh. "Today's Lord of Liao and Lin Ya in the past, how could they be at odds with each other? It's just that the past is no longer the same. Even if we achieve success in the future, we won't be disappointed with our homeland. I'm afraid I will have regrets in my heart! "
"In life, nine out of ten people will not get what they want." Zhao Jiu also sighed. "Who doesn't have regrets? Just do your best and obey fate!"
Yelu Dashi nodded and was about to say goodbye, but for some reason, he almost cried. He could only bow his head and endure it. After a moment, he forced a smile: "That day at the lakeside, His Majesty said: 'Ten thousand miles of Yinshan and ten thousand miles of sand'. Today at the foot of Helan Mountain, the big stone is about to travel thousands of miles. With your majesty’s poetic talent, you don’t know if you have any poems to give me? I can show them off in the future.”
Zhao Jiu was silent for a moment, then nodded, but then shook his head: "I had thought of an old poem for a long time, which was very suitable for the occasion, but when I said it now, I felt a little guilty."
"Why?" Yelu Dashi continued to laugh. "Is it because Dashi can't bear this word?"
"It's you and I can't afford it." Zhao Jiu responded calmly. "The end of this word is too arrogant, and it has the spirit of capturing the dragon, binding the tiger, and sweeping the world... The big stone forest teeth will go westward and sweep the Western Region. Although I am dead I tried to survive and build a foundation, but in the end I was on the safe side; and although I gained the upper hand this time, I turned around and faced the Jurchens who did not suffer any losses, but I inevitably lost some confidence."
"That's right." Yelu Dashi nodded in response. "What your Majesty said is true... There is no need to mention Dashi's journey to the west. This time, the Jurchens seem to have been preparing to retreat to the two rivers. In fact, their strength has not been damaged at all. They have recovered so far after avoiding the banquet. , we have to work harder and work hard, otherwise there is really no way to capture the dragon and bind the tiger."
Zhao Jiu responded with a wry smile.
Yelu Dashi also finally handed over his hand: "In this case, the Dashi will go westward. Your Majesty, can you have any words to teach me?"
Zhao Jiu nodded solemnly, ignoring that Brother Bile was right behind him, and faced him directly: "The clowns of the Western Regions are vulnerable to a single blow. Da Shi Linya does not need to be frightened by them. Just do it. I belong to China and I am the emperor. If If you need it, it’s your duty to do so!”
Yelu Dashi nodded.
Zhao Jiu also continued to ask: "What about Dashi Linya? Do you have any words to teach me?"
"Be careful of the Mongols!" Yelu Dashi said solemnly. "Since ancient times, the grasslands have flourished, and hundreds of tribes have emerged... Whoever controls the grasslands, learns blacksmithing, knows the art of war, practices tactics, and has always been poor and endures poverty, will naturally
The rise has nothing to do with what race or species they are... Therefore, the Mongols cannot keep themselves from being just another family of Jurchens. Your Majesty must not capture the dragon with your left hand and control the tiger with your right hand."
After these words were spoken, Zhao Jiu certainly admired him, and all the civil and military officials behind him were also in awe.
But up to this point, the two of them had just exchanged words and were no longer prepared to get into any more entanglements.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiu just wanted to surrender to Yelu Dashi and then turned around to return to the city. However, when he turned his head, he saw the army beside him marching southward while he was talking to Yelu Dashi. The smoke and dust billowed like a yellow dragon. In addition, Helan Mountain was missing from the side. There were countless heroes in the world.
Right in front of him, he thought about the fact that he had sent people to search for several months, but could not find Zhang Yongzhen's wife and children. He also thought that this journey was like a cook cutting off an ox, and it was a victory over the general trend. The official's mind kept changing.
Then he reined in his horse and turned around, laughing:
"Although there are no poems, there is an empty song, and it is sent off with the big stone forest teeth."
Below the boulder, everyone was shocked, but then they were relieved... Since this official is good at lyrics and knows music naturally, he is probably afraid of being famous for being a multi-talented person, so he is unwilling to show off his sensual skills. As for the leader of one country for another
Although there are some ancient rituals for the leader of a country to sing songs, he has been crowned and the Yelu Dashi is going to go away again. Who cares about this?
It will only be a good story in the future.
So they each sat on their horses and listened.
And Zhao Jiu stood on horseback, neither using instruments nor singing lyrics, just casually humming the tunes like ordinary people in the market... As soon as the tune came out, although it was obviously a bit unfamiliar and unstable, it could not stand up to the majesty of the tune, and it was continuous.
The rhythm of the rapid upward movement is like the Helan Mountain turning into war horses galloping one after another; then it becomes graceful and majestic, like the yellow sand rolling behind the mountain barrier; then, it turns a thousand times, and the heroism gradually rises, and it is faintly connected with the mountains and rivers, and the wind and the wind.
Flags and horses, armies and soldiers, people, family and country, life and death, victory and defeat, gains and losses, traveling through deserts, crossing rivers, crossing grasslands, experiencing fields, and all these people
Experienced in the heart, gradually become one.
Below Yelu Dashi, there were also the surrounding civil and military officials. They gradually became enchanted, but their expressions changed with the tune. They didn't know how they thought about the life and death of their family and country, and the success and failure of victory and defeat. They were actually a little crazy listening to it.
However, after humming the song, it came to an abrupt end. Zhao Jiu didn't say much, and just put his hands in front of each other: "The tumbling in my heart is uncontrollable, which makes Dashi Linya laugh!"
Yelu Dashi was the first to react, but he just handed it over and said, "May I ask, Your Majesty, if there is a name for the song?"
"'Iron-Blooded Heart'." Zhao Jiu blurted out.
"What a good name." Yelu Dashi raised his head and sighed, then laughed. After laughing for a while, he sighed loudly again. "What a name! It's also a good song! It's enough to get this song as a gift! Your Majesty, please come back!"
After saying this, the Xiliao emperor turned his horse's head, hummed the tune he had just heard, and then without looking back, he rode his horse southward. The Khitan soldiers around him did not dare to neglect, and galloped directly to follow.
Zhao Jiu also had no extra words. He just nodded slightly to Yue Fei who was going to 'escort' him, then turned around, reined in his horse calmly, and led the others away.
As the saying goes, it is July, and the fields are rolling in golden colors. Although the sun is getting late, we can slowly return from the foot of Helan Mountain.
