Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 238 A Tears of Blood

Along the way, I met many people who were sitting in the snow and were about to become ice sculptures, and they were already dead.After Zhao Cheng observed and touched it, he was still not stiff, and there was still some residual warmth. From this, he was sure that he was getting closer and closer to the rebel who was eager to go home.

There are more and more people who give up, which means they really broke down and gave up.Before freezing, people should feel drowsy and want to sleep, and have the hallucination of sitting down and resting, but others will not wait. When they sit down or lie down, it means that the will will break down.

Even if I know that I will never wake up after falling asleep, I will fall asleep deeply.

Zhao Cheng felt a lot about this in his heart.

To be able to fight under such conditions depends on one breath and one belief.When there is a team with this belief, it must be an invincible teacher that is rarely seen in the Song Dynasty.

Unfortunately, as a politician, Zhao Cheng knows that this team will not become elite soldiers after the war, and the only way is to retire, because most people will be disabled, and the difference is only the severity of the sequelae.

Fortunately, this heavy snow is evolution. After this battle, the Ganoderma Mountain forces that caused countless bloodshed and made the government helpless will be removed from the Song Dynasty and can only become a negative example in history textbooks.

Chizhou will quickly gain momentum in the environment without the interference of bandits and bandits, and burst out the potential it should have.

As long as it is done properly, the Chizhou War Case will also serve as a policy preference for the court in the future, as well as the spirit of the whole country. When this spirit is present, it will no longer be called the Northern Song Dynasty, and it can really be called the Great Song Dynasty.

These are the meanings.

As for the fate of those who died or were disabled for this, simply put, there is no war that is not the result of accumulation of blood and tears.If you want to gain something, you must pay a price.

Of course, the cost can be mitigated under deliberate operation.

Based on this, Zhao Cheng, who was already a little cold towards the court, felt that the responsibility was heavy.It might have been possible in the past, but since now, this official can't just stop being an official. If Zhao Cheng doesn't fight for it, then no one will understand and control these people who paid the price for the Chizhou Battle.

Assuming that Zhao Cheng feels it is troublesome and does not fight for it, then the national significance gained after paying the price of this war is likely to be shelved, or rewritten by them, or even denied.

History only has results but no truth.The people above will not really care about the price paid and the inside story of the Chizhou Battle. They will only make reasonable use of what they can use based on their own class and position and the current situation.This is the nature of politicians.

Now that Zhao Cheng has seen through the essence simply and crudely, there is no need to explain the truth about Chizhou to the whole country and worry about people not believing it.

The conclusion and response are actually simple. Fight for the pen that writes history and grasp the right to speak.Then prepare a large number of candies and toys for the masses who do not know the truth. Even if Zhao Cheng is evil, they will decisively believe in Zhao Cheng, follow Zhao Cheng, read and learn the history written by Zhao Cheng.

This is called history, and the rest is not.

To do this we have to fight a war, and politics is also a war.So Chizhou is not over, but has just started the endless war mode.Just like fighting Wang Xiu, we need to compete with these old masters with various routes and ideas.

Well, it was quite easy to hand over the military command to Bai Chenxiang now. Zhao Cheng, who was dressed like a furry bear and followed the march, had already started to show off these things in advance.

Even though I have been taken care of everywhere, the suffering is still very bitter.Those who are blown by the wind want to cry more, but their eyes interfere and there are no tears. After all, Zhao Cheng has never been able to obtain the bonus of Bai Chenxiang's halo...

On the platform of the watchtower on Ganoderma lucidum, facing the heavy snow all over the sky, nothing can be observed.

The guards who were still on the watchtower now wanted to die, while most of the others stayed in the drafty houses to warm themselves around the brazier.

There were fires everywhere in the cottage hall.

Chen Li, who led 1000 people to stay behind in the cottage, would never have thought of the murderous intent contained in this blizzard!
We had made adequate preparations earlier, and now there was no shortage of wine, meat and charcoal fire.Even though the news that the grain transport team had been wiped out in Yangziling had been received before, people in the village were already panicking.

But this is not very important, based on Wang Xiu's wisdom in the past.Now Chen Li's thinking is stuck on "Wang Xiu has absolute strength and is about to win Chizhou".

To a certain extent, in the Ganoderma lucidum mountain system, Chen Li was considered a mediocre person, characterized by his non-disruption and loyalty, so he was entrusted by Wang Xiu with the important task of staying in the village and taking care of the logistics.

What is intriguing is that after the accident at Yangziling, the self-transportation team, no more news or orders came.In this regard, some close subordinates have already noticed that something is wrong. Even if the 1000-person grain transport team is not elite, in the battlefield with absolute control of Ganoderma lucidum, something will happen. This is an unfavorable signal. If something goes wrong, there will be monsters. Come explain.

Helpless, based on his confidence in Wang Xiu in the past, Chen Li couldn't listen to any suggestions now, and he couldn't think of any reason why Wang Xiu's main force would be defeated.

In fact, Chen Li was even more reluctant to give up this piece of land, because all the copper mines buried under this unique piece of land were money.

And according to Chen Li's thinking, it has nothing to do with the concept of "death for money" at all.

Although he did not receive any instructions from Wang Xiu, Chen Li also began to give instructions and direct all matters in the village, and reassured his subordinates, believing that the Chizhou government no longer had any available power except the people from Yangshan earlier.

Even Bai Chenxiang's team was short of numbers, and it was impossible to threaten Wang Xiu's main force in such a snowstorm.Even if something goes wrong, at most Wang Xiu's main force will return without success, but they can still burn, kill and plunder wantonly before the spring begins and the imperial army advances to the southeast, strengthening the strength of the cottage and finally looking towards Tokyo.

The vision is very good. If Wang Xiu becomes emperor, Chen Li thinks that he will be the prime minister. Every time he thinks that his name will be recorded in history, and looks at the trembling appearance of countless surrendered bureaucrats in the court, he wants to start laughing now...

Zhao Cheng and Bai Chenxiang followed into the Ganoderma Mountains.

Marching in the snow against the wind is very slow, now at most 25 miles per day.

But even so, it is definitely faster than the fleeing rebels in front.

I even felt that it was only because of the heavy snowstorm that the eyes couldn't see it, but it was actually close at hand.

The closer to the cottage, the more corpses of the rebels appeared on the way, most of them were relatively weak and not prepared for the cold.

These more and more corpses have a higher body temperature than those found before, and a lower degree of rigidity, and some of them are not even completely dead yet.So this means that Wang Xiu's main force is really close at hand.

They may have been bandits in life, but now that the weather is freezing and God has become the unified enemy, they are just like ordinary people after death. Since there are more and more corpses and no blood is seen, it reminds people of "the road is frozen". Dead Bones", there were some sympathetic voices and atmosphere in the team.

This kind of situation is very bad for the decisive battle, so even though there is nothing wrong with human nature, and Zhao Cheng has given up the military command, he couldn't help it in the face of this situation. He jumped out as a political commissar and first Bai Chenxiang, who took the lead in "watching the wind and sighing", criticized for a while.

People cannot be without goals, standpoints and programs. What Zhao Cheng is saying now is the program.

The decisive battle was just around the corner. Zhao Cheng ordered him to stop his advance temporarily and expressed his voice as clearly as possible in the snowy wind, "Don't look at the wind and sigh. If you want your children and grandchildren to live in a safe and stable environment, you must pay a price. This price is war."

"It is true that everyone has sympathy. If you are willing to observe carefully, there are some touching points in the beast no matter how fierce it is. The characteristics of hearing the wind and sighing are allowed to exist in ordinary people. But when we come out of the formation, we You are already a soldier, and the quality of a soldier must be objective and calm, and his only mission is to win the war."

"Now our morale is like a rainbow, and we are strong after repeated victories. It is a natural phenomenon for the strong to sympathize with the weak under certain conditions. However, this is smoke and illusion, a mirage. The truth is: Wang Xiu's killing, Wang Xiu's past How many people have been bullied and bullied into graves? Some people don’t even have graves. Most people can’t see these, so there is no direct anger and pressure. But if you believe me, as a county captain, I know how many souls there are in Chizhou !"

"Wang Xiu's existence has encouraged killing to a certain extent. It has created a lot of people who don't want to be aggressive in production, and always want to take risks. Because there is a way out, they will make big news and go to the mountains every now and then. One by one, A series of bloody cases are accumulated in the county government, and the cases cannot even be filed or processed. When every weak person in Chizhou lies in the grave, it means that a group of weaker people are helpless, tearful and counting on the day of Zhaoxue in front of their relatives’ graves. .”

"Our team was born based on the will of the people. According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, from the standpoint of civil affairs judges, different people in the same incident can be treated differently. But this is a war, not a judicial proceeding. We They are soldiers, and their mission is different from that of ordinary law enforcement officers."

"People are three-dimensional, no one is all bad and no one is all good. But when you choose to become a rebel, it is not to follow the crowd, but to be complicit. It must be the enemy. As a military commander who has never made a mistake, I am now responsible and sincere Let me tell you: to be kind to the enemy in war is to be cruel to yourself!"

All stand at attention!

"Well, I have finished my speech, and basically I have fulfilled all my missions and obligations. I am a little bit overwhelmed now, and the command has been handed over to Bai Chenxiang. The tactical purpose is to wipe out Ganoderma lucidum at any cost. If you don't accept surrender, you can't There is kindness. Because Zhang Shangying gave the chance of surrender and kindness, the price is that there are more than 1 orphans and widows standing in front of the grave in Da Song with tears in their eyes, but there are not even corpses in the tomb bag. dig……"

After saying that, Zhao Cheng's head tilted and he fell over.Even though the cold-resistant equipment is almost the most complete in Chizhou, it is really because the body is too weak and the chicken can't stand it after working for days.

Bai Chenxiang and Bi Shijing couldn't help but look at each other, this is good, not only can he not provide advice and help, but now he has become a burden.

In desperation, Qin Ming became a babysitter, one big and one small, holding Zhao Cheng on the left side and the little tiger head on the other side.

Because he can't have sympathetic guidance, Bai Chenxiang can't control the scholars anymore.

The decisive battle is imminent!

There is no suspense about winning, the only difference is that we don’t know how many people can survive from Ganoderma Mountain.The forecast is very pessimistic. The damage from the battle should not be large. This is certain, but the real damage will come from the severe cold.

Although Zhao Cheng didn't say it directly, Bai Chenxiang knew in his heart that not just a few, but most people would be disabled in this battle...
