Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 400 Although a Rude Warrior Knows Loyalty

Bian Xiang clenched the handle of the ax tightly, intending to share life and death with Wang De, but he was also afraid that Wang De would be desperate to fight, and would turn back when he was dying.

This is just like the current situation in the camp. The remaining hundreds of Western troops are no match for Bian Xiang's army, but they are like a wounded beast, barking their teeth and claws.If you insist on killing them, you must bear their madness before death.

Therefore, Sergeant Tian Hu watched helplessly as the Western Army fled out of the camp.

Now Bian Xiang is also like this.

Even though this battle made him very dissatisfied, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway and cost him a lot of casualties.Seeing the cavalry coming to rescue, those Western troops thought that they could turn defeat into victory, and they all became energetic. It was a melee, and most of the casualties were among the Jin troops.

But Bian Xiang still watched helplessly as Wang De led dozens of cavalry out of the camp.

At this moment, the battle situation in Hedong had a little twists and turns. Even if Bian Xiang's final vision was not realized, such a blow was one of the few bright spots in the entire battle of Hedong Tianhu Army.

Tan Zhen was very unhappy when such news reached his ears.I just sued him in front of the emperor, and the Western Army made waves. Could it be that he was deliberately harmed?If he hadn't known Zhong's way of being a teacher, and was afraid of the prestige of the brothers of the Zhong family in the Western Army, Tan Zhenfei jumped up and made a lot of trouble to let the Western Army know how powerful he is.

But when the servant he sent to Luoyang to inquire about the news sent a message back, Tan Zhen's worry about gains and losses suddenly calmed down.

Yingtian Mansion fell, and the Song Dynasty's ancestral temple was disturbed. The emperor is now crying to the sky in sorrow, mourning the destruction of his bones, his face is extremely sad, and he has no intention of paying attention to the affairs of the foreign court.

Tan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.So there is still time for him to make amends, so he went to the army in such a hurry to discuss with Zhong Shidao.

Little did he know that Zhao Ji saw all of this.He was naturally furious about Tan Zhen's concealment, but seeing Tan Zhen rushing to the front of the army immediately made him more satisfied.

As for punishing the Western Army, Zhao Ji didn't even think about it.Now that time has changed and the world has changed, it is not what it used to be.For the Western Army, he didn't have the old Er Yu Erduo, but wanted to give the general of the Western Army a face.

But on the surface, Zhao Ji wants to put on a good show.

He actually received the news of Yingtian's fall early, but on the surface it was delayed for a day.So that day when he was at the court meeting, he suddenly received the news that Liangshan bandits attacked Yingtianfu City, beheaded the defender Du Chong, the magistrate Wang Boyan abandoned and fled, the city was destroyed, and Xue Guangli, the leader, died in battle.

In front of court civil and military officials, Zhao Ji, who had been prepared for a long time, staged a wonderful performance at the Oscar level. First, he felt like mourning his concubine, and then he was hit by five thunders, his face was pale, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.Cai Jing and others who were serving at the side did not dare to stand up any more, and prostrated themselves with their crowns on the ground to plead guilty.Zhao Ji immediately delivered an order to stop the court meeting, turned around and returned to the palace, took off his dress and changed into plain clothes, and hurried to the Fengxian Hall, which was simply arranged after the Song Dynasty moved westward to Luoyang, knelt down in front of the ancestor's spirit to reflect, and ordered all civil and military officials to come together Plain clothes repair the province.

The officials also knew that something big had happened, even though they had already had such predictions in their hearts when they left Tokyo.But when the news came that Yingtianfu City had been destroyed and the original Zhao family temple was shocked, everyone was too scared to speak, at least on the surface.The civil and military officials also hurried home and put on plain clothes, and jointly signed Shangshu to comfort the emperor.

In Fengxian Hall, the noon sun shines through the window lattice, and the cheerful chirping of birds can be heard from far outside the hall. Zhao Ji kneels alone in front of Zhao Da and Zhao Er's spiritual tablet, and several eunuchs bow their heads in the distance. He leaned down and bowed his head to serve.

The emperor Daojun, who was dressed in plain clothes, had a thin body, which was particularly eye-catching under the sunlight. He knelt there quietly, motionless, like a stone statue.

Although the appearance is calm, Zhao Ji's heart is full of wind and thunder.No matter how well prepared it was, the disturbance of the original temple is a serious crime and unfilial piety.For Zhao Song, it was also the second biggest blow after moving the capital.

Zhao Ji, who had always prided himself on being wise, had to admit that he had caused a catastrophe, which was a disgrace to his ancestors and shocked the original temple.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ji shed tears.

As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, although he was acting, he really hated the Liangshan bandits who disturbed the original temple, and also hated Cai Jing and others who did not do business all day long. His prosperity and prosperity were ruined once, and his half-life fame was ruined once.In Zhao Ji's heart, he really hated sadness, and he didn't pretend to cry bitterly.

At this moment, Zhao Ji felt for the first time that he was not in control of everything, and a terrible feeling of powerlessness was approaching him.

At this time, Lu Qian in Yingtian Mansion had already raised his troops and headed north.The soldiers of the army pointed directly at Xingren Mansion, but Liu Kai in Tokyo City also cheered up a hundred spirits. No one can guarantee that the Liangshan bandits will not turn around and kill Tokyo City.

Let's say that Xingren Mansion, the prefect's surname is Li, who was originally a Qing guest of Liang Shicheng's family.This day, Guan Sheng was urgently searched for. After Puzhou broke through the siege, those who had roots went to find their mothers. Only Guan Sheng, who had no roots and no success, was left in Xingren Mansion.The last time Liang Shanbo pretended to attack Xingren, Guan Sheng fought back with all his strength, so he was indeed capable.Li Zhifu broke away from the relationship and took him under his command, pretending to be a regiment training envoy.

It is true that this person knows in his heart that in the future Xingren Mansion will have battles and fights, so it is only appropriate that he has a real talent in his hands.The Xingren Mansion's military and horse commander's surname is Cao, and the person is like his surname, so he is an idiot.

Guan Sheng was practicing civil courage on the school grounds that day, when he was summoned by the prefect Li, he rode his horse and rushed to the government office.Then Li Zhifu greeted him out of the second hall and led Guan Sheng to the East Flower Hall in Neili to talk, where Cao Dujian was already present.Li Zhifu didn't sit down, he cupped his hands to Guan Sheng and said, "Does General Guan know that Xingren is in danger?"

Guan Sheng replied: "The young general has heard about the Yingtian Mansion, and knows that it has fallen, but he wonders if there has been any change in Xingren?"

While he was talking, he saw that Magistrate Li was wearing a half-old green gauze square scarf with a jade plaque on the front.Wearing a blue silk robe with a collar, the collar is skewed, and the ties under the waist are loose and untied.The three strands of hair under his neck were tangled together, and his long white face was also very pale, showing that he was in a very embarrassed state.And Superintendent Cao sat on the chair like a wooden figure, with a pale expression on his face.

Guan Sheng's heart was shocked, he knew that there must be something wrong.

Magistrate Li smiled bitterly: "General, please take a seat. Xingren has not changed yet, but in Yingtian Mansion not far away, tens of thousands of Liangshan bandits are about to sweep in. We only have three to five thousand troops and horses here, how can we defeat the enemy?" Live? The two mansions are close to each other, and we are here in the morning and evening. How can I not be anxious?"

Guan Sheng lost his voice: "The thieves are coming so urgently?" Yingtian Mansion is a prosperous place, full of fat, Liangshan Army is going to invade Xingren Mansion so soon?
Li Zhifu didn't speak, Cao Dujian's face was miserable.

"The young general is a martial artist, he dare not speak big, he only obeys the orders of his superiors. Once the Xianggong and the Dujian give orders, the young general will obey." Guan Sheng believed in the bottom of his heart that the defeat of this battle was a foregone conclusion.With the bravery and strength of the Liangshan Army, even the city of Tokyo can fight, how about Xingren Mansion?
But Guan Dadao would not speak out.Also here is Cao Dujian, this is the chief military officer of Xingren Mansion, Guan Sheng is not good and has no rules!
Cao Du listened to what he said, but he smiled and said: "Although I am a rough warrior, I also know loyalty. As the saying goes, if the soldiers come to stop them, and if the thieves come to invade the country, I should have led the troops and horses to fight, and I will live up to it. Full of passion. My husband is sitting in the city." At least it's easier to escape outside the city, isn't it?

Li Zhifu sat down on the seat, scratched his beard, and smiled wryly: "You are a big talker. Liangshan bandits are here, and you brought 5000 people to fight against his ten times the number. Is it difficult to predict the number? A civil servant in this mansion has no strength to restrain a chicken, so what's the use of asking me to sit in the city?"

Cao Du felt a little uncomfortable when he listened to him. He could still escape after losing the battle, but it was difficult to escape if he stayed in the city.He just sat on the chair, pressed his knees with both hands, and said nothing.

Guan Sheng knew that they were all supervising idiots, so he asked Li Zhifu, "What does Yi Xianggong mean?"

Li Zhifu said: "I have been here for many years, and my family members are gathering more and more. Today, the bandits are coming to the city, and it is cumbersome to surround these old and weak. If this official wants to send three or five errands, tomorrow I will send my family members back to their original place in Sichuan and Shu Go. It’s just that the current world is unstable, and there are frequent bandits in the local area. I want to ask the general for some capable soldiers, and then hope to borrow an officer to escort them south.”

"In this way, without the troubles of the old and weak family members, this official is naked, so that he has no worries and can focus on the war."

Guan Sheng said without thinking, "It's easy." Although the prefect sent his wife and children away on the eve of the war, it would definitely disrupt the morale of the army.But as long as he is careful, Guan Sheng can be sure that no one in the city will know about it.After hearing this, Magistrate Li agreed. As long as the family members can get rid of their money, this is the first priority.

"As for the military, although I have read through the ancient and modern books, I don't have any strategy in my mind. Now that the situation is getting tighter, I still have to rely on the generals." Li Zhifu said so.Guan Sheng hastened to be humble.

The Cao Dujian also said grimly: "General Guan is loyal and righteous, and his martial arts are superb. He has fought with Liangshan bandits many times, and his knowledge is extraordinary. Don't be humble." The two felt that this Xingren Mansion was really difficult Keep it, but still bless a glimmer of hope.

But Guan Sheng also didn't have the ability to conjure up soldiers and horses out of thin air. Seeing that what the two of them said was not true, his face showed a look of silence, and he said: "To be honest, today's situation, the young general thought that Xingren Mansion would not be safe for a while. "The most correct way to defend against the enemy is that when the enemy comes, we go, and when the enemy goes, we return.Only in this way can we be calm.

"This is not a young general who is timid and greedy for survival. It is actually the disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves." Although Guan Sheng didn't know why the Liangshan Army responded to Tianfu's attack without fighting, it gave him a glimmer of hope, that is, the Liangshan Army faced off against Xingren. The government can be destroyed without fighting.

No heavy hammer is needed to play the drum.As soon as Guan Sheng's meaning came out, Li and Cao immediately opened their eyes wide. "The general is justified." If the Liangshan Army did not fight against Xingren Mansion, could they calmly take over Xingren Mansion after the Liangshan Army withdrew?

So there is an explanation for Shangfeng.
