Chapter 267 Reputation
It turned out that Tang Longyan and Yang Ye won the great victory of Yanmen Pass five years ago, using 8,000 soldiers to break through 100,000 Liao elites. The son-in-law Xiao Yuli was killed and the general Li Chongqi was arrested. For Liao, the consequences are not just a huge blow. Returning without success, the Song people raised their eyebrows and exhaled for the time being. The most serious consequence was that it directly led to the aggravation of Liao Jingzong's condition and died in seven years of Taiping Xingguo. At this point, Liao Shengzong succeeded to the throne at the age of 12. The former empress Xiao Yanyan was respected as the empress dowager, only 30 years old.
After two years of accumulation, Zhao Jiong believed that the Liao Shengzong in the north was still young, and Xiao was just a woman's family, and he had the heart to attack Liao and capture the 16 states of Youyun. Hearing the news, Tang Longyan hurried to Yanmenguan to observe the situation. He was afraid that the tiger and wolf division of Liao was fierce and launched an attack on Guancheng first.
Speaking of this, Long Qian sighed helplessly: "You brothers also heard that adults are going to rush to Yanmen Pass and have said that they want to see you. Over the years, the dragon cavalry has broken thousands of people, and half of them have never seen adults. Today, with this opportunity, everyone has made every effort to complete the task of suppression, and then Chaoyanmen came, but I didn't expect to meet you on the road.
Tang Shuanger nodded, suddenly stared at Long Qian and said dissatisfiedly, "In this case, it means that you can see Brother Long Yan, so you lied to us that you may not be able to see him. Alas, I haven't seen him for five years, and I don't know how he is doing now."
Long Qian sighed and said, "Your Excellency Shenlong saw no end. Maybe as soon as we arrived, he had already left Yanmen and closed it. Even if it was me, I had only seen him a few times in five years, and he could only deliver one task at a time. To put it simply, others disappeared. The last time I saw him was in June last year.
"What should I do? In those years, he left me and Sister Rou alone and left without saying goodbye. His heart was too deep. If Sister Rou was by his side, how could he live? Oh, I really don't know when I can see him." Tang Shuanger looked forward with a depressed face and felt a little melancholy.
While talking, everyone has come to the south gate of Guancheng. As soon as the soldiers guarding the city saw this unique armor, they did not come forward to ask at all. They directly opened the gate and let Long Qian and others go straight into the city. As soon as I entered the city, the city suddenly boiled.
"It's the drag cavalry! This is the backbone of the Song Dynasty, which is really majestic and powerful! To promote the national prestige of the Song Dynasty, it is impossible for the dragon cavalry and the Yang family army!" A middle-aged man looked at the drag cavalry with admiration. If there was no wife beside him, he couldn't wait to rush to worship.
"Is that leading General Tang Longyan?" A woman was holding a vegetable basket and heard someone calling the dragon cavalry beside her. Her eyes lit up and she stared straight at Long Qian and asked the woman beside her.
The woman beside her looked at her contemptuously and said disdainfully, "I don't know. This is just the leader of the dragon cavalry, called Long Qian. Ha ha, no wonder who let your brother-in-law's brother-in-law's son is not a dragoon. No wonder you don't know what's going on in the dragoon."
"Wow, aunt, there is a dragoon in your family. It's amazing! So... Is there a chance for me to go to the Dragoon's barracks? I also want to be a dragoon!" The eyes of the teenager beside the woman who bought vegetables were full of expectations.
The woman who was just boasting replied, "What's so difficult? Not to mention Long Qian, it's the leader, General Tang Longyan and Tang. I'll let your mother buy more vegetables, and I'll talk to you again."
On horseback, Tang Xuerou and Tang Shuanger were welcomed and loved by the people all over the city as soon as they saw that they entered the city. Although they were happy, they sighed at Tang Longyan's efforts in the past, and they thought that Tang Longyan was even better. At this moment, Long Qian pointed forward and said, "Two girls look this way."
Looking forward along Long Qian's fingertips, the two girls saw a statue. In front of the statue was an old but sharp general. Behind him, a tall, powerful and powerful general was following him closely. Tang Xuerou stared for a moment and asked, "Uncle Long Qian, there is no doubt that the person in front of him should be Marshal Yang. This face is vivid, but why is there some on the face of the general behind..." Speaking of this, she was embarrassed to go on.
"You mean that this man's appearance is a little ferocious, but what you don't know is that this is the statue of an adult." Seeing that the two girls were very surprised, he explained, "In the past, the adults left without saying goodbye. When the old and children of the city opened the door to welcome the triumphant soldiers, they did not see the most meritorious adults. In addition, it has always been rumored among the people that adults are powerful and domineering. They have gone deep into the Liao army to kill the Liao army to kill the marshal of the Liao army, so they added some imagination when carving."
Looking at the towering stone carving behind Yang Ye, and looking at the fact that there are still people praying for the statue, the hearts of the two girls are surging: at such an age, you can make everyone remember him deeply. How much effort does it take? But at this moment, are others in the city?
Shortly after entering the city, Long Qian said to the two of them, "I have to hand over the military affairs first. You will rest in this inn for the time being. If the master is in the camp, I will definitely report the news of your visit, and there will be soldiers to greet you later. The people here are harmonious and orderly. Don't worry.
The two girls knew that Long Qian's military affairs were there, so they immediately nodded and got off their horses and walked towards the inn he pointed to. As soon as the dragoon entered the city and got off their horses and walked, they only paused for this moment, and then slowly walked towards the camp.
As soon as the two girls sat down in the inn, the shopkeeper of the inn came forward in person and asked with a smile, "How dare you ask who the two girls are the dragon cavalry? How can the dragon cavalry escort them all the way here?"
Seeing that the shopkeeper was kind, Tang Xuerou replied with a smile, "The shopkeeper laughed. The two of us just met the dragon cavalry on the way, which was not an escort."
Looking at her kind and warm smile, a strong man who was eating tea not far away suddenly said, "You...aren't you the sister of General Tang? In the past, the dragon cavalry before the Battle of Yanmen Pass was selected, and General Tang also took you to the stage to make a speech.
As soon as the words were spoken, the inn suddenly boiled. The shopkeeper's body trembled because of excitement. He hurriedly shouted behind him, "Come on, make a pot of good tea for these two little girls!" Set a table of good dishes and pick them up!"
Seeing that the shopkeeper was so enthusiastic, Tang Shuanger quickly took out the silver liang handed over to them by several big men who kidnapped them and said to the shopkeeper, "This uncle, we only have a little silver. I don't know if it's enough to pay for the meal. If it's not enough, I have to ask Brother Long Yan for it."
When the shopkeeper heard the four words "Brother Long Yan", he immediately laughed and said, "I don't know if it suits your appetite. How can the little old man ask for money? In the past, if General Tang had tried his best to defeat the 100,000 army of Liao, I'm afraid that Yanmenguan was already the territory of the Liao people at this time. How could the little old man keep the place handed down from his ancestors? Although he can't personally thank General Tang today, he can also do his thanks. You can eat this meal for your brother.
Tang Xuerou wanted to refuse the shopkeeper's kindness, but seeing that he was so sincere, if she refused him like this, it would definitely disappoint him. In desperation, she could only nodded.
As soon as the people eating next to him heard that the two women turned out to be Tang Longyan's sister, they immediately gathered around. A businessman took out a brocade box and handed it up and said, "I finally met my benefactor!" In the past, if General Tang hadn't gone deep into the hinterland of the enemy, killed the generals of Liaoning, and tried his best to protect Yanmenguan, my family would have died in the city. I can share my family with my family today. General Tang has made great contributions. The two girls must accept this!"
Another strong man squeezed away the crowd, strode forward, piled up a fat face, and smiled at them, "General Tang is for the country and the people. That's Yu Gong, but he saved my family's life. That's selfish." After saying that, he sat down regardless of what everyone looked at.
Tang Shuanger was very curious and immediately asked, "Oh, so uncle, have you seen Brother Long Yan?"
The strong man wiped the sweat on his forehead and smiled, "That was half a year ago. Uncle, I have a lot of family business in Dai County, and I don't know when I was targeted by some thieves. That night, the thief bypassed the city defense soldiers and directly climbed over the wall and entered my compound. At that time, I happened to wake up with urine. When I saw someone flashing outside the window, I immediately got up and shouted, trying to wake up my family and drive these people out, but not Thinking that these thieves were not afraid, one of them blew directly at me, and I was dizzy. When I looked around, I found that the family who was driven out had all fainted.
He drank a cup of tea and continued, "At that time, I saw a few needles in their hands facing me, and the tip of the needle was shining blue. I knew that they were going to kill people. Just as I closed my eyes and waited to die, a white flame flashed in front of me. For a moment, several people standing in front of me Then I fell down. Before I recovered, there were more than a dozen people who fainted in the yard. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen white flames appeared in an instant. As soon as one of the fires entered my body, the feeling of dizziness just now suddenly disappeared. Seeing that he was leaving, I hurriedly asked, 'Dare you ask the benefactor's name?' At this time, I saw a clear and handsome young man's face by the moonlight. He just smiled faintly and replied, 'It's my fault that the city is not strong, and it's my duty to guard this place. Besides, killing them is just revenge for one of my old friends.' After saying that, there was no one."
"Then how do you know that it's my brother Long Yan?" Tang Shuanger listened with relish and couldn't help asking.
Tang Xue sighed softly and said, "In today's world, only Brother Long Yan can have Cangyan!"
