Heaven's Change of Fate

Chapter 406: Killing Jiang with one sword and taking Xiangyang lightly
"I'm going to take down Xiangyang City, and then exchange Xiangyang City for the family members of the 20 Song soldiers!" Yang Xin said seriously.

Yang Xin spoke very seriously, and Guo Jing listened very seriously.If others say that Xiangyang City will be surrendered after the capture of Xiangyang City, just for the family members of those 20 captives, Guo Jing will definitely not believe it, even if Temujin said this, Guo Jing would not believe it, but when Yang Xin said it, Guo Jing would believe it .

Not only Guo Jing believed it, Hong Qigong and Huang Rong also believed it.

"Is it worth it?" Guo Jing asked.In Guo Jing's heart, he didn't think that Yang Xin could not take Xiangyang City. Leaving aside those fierce muskets, just talking about the flying war puppets in Yang Xin's hands, the tall city walls of Xiangyang City were useless.

However, no matter from the military point of view or from the political point of view and strategic sense, the value of Xiangyang City is far greater than the 20 Song army family members. Guo Jing didn't understand, so he asked directly.

"Of course it's worth it! I actually don't quite understand the thoughts of Zhao Song's family and the ministers of the court, why they treat soldiers like this. You must know that in this era when heroes cut dramas, soldiers are the cornerstone of their own safety. It is precisely because of soldiers, Only the officials of the Zhao and Song Dynasties can sit firmly in the Golden Luan Hall, the princes of the court can give pointers to the country, and the common people can live... But these soldiers don’t get the respect they deserve, and they are called thieves. The gold seal is engraved on the body, which can never be washed off, which is not only the destruction of its body, but also the destruction of its spirit."

"Even the Kingdom of Jin, which Zhao Song regards as a barbarian, would not treat soldiers like this. I really want to enter Lin'an City and ask the high-ranking Zhao Song officials why they treat soldiers so harshly? It really is his poison and my candied fruit. Zhao Song officials and ministers regard soldiers as pigs and dogs, but under my rule, soldiers are the greatest and the cutest people in the world." Yang Xin said extremely puzzled.

"This..." Guo Jing was at a loss for words, and was silent for a moment. Guo Jing asked, "Brother Yang, why did you ask the Song officials for the family members of the 20 Song soldiers in this way?"

"The prejudice in people's hearts is like a big mountain. No matter how hard you try, you can't move it away. This is true for the officials of Zhao and Song Dynasties, and it is also true for the princes in the Great Song Dynasty. Only by beating them painfully and miserably will they calm down and listen to you. Speak, listen to your reasons, and listen to your requests. What could make them feel more painful than winning Xiangyang?!" Yang Xin asked.

"Hahahaha... don't mention these troublesome things, since the capital is farewell, the old beggar hasn't seen the commander in a long time, and he didn't give the commander a clear answer. It's the fault of the old beggar. Now When we meet, my old beggar will be the host, and I will buy some wild game, and the commander will accompany me, and I will also invite the commander to taste Rong'er's cooking." Hong Qigong laughed, and then ordered the accompanying disciples of the beggar gang to fight. Some game.

Yang Xin didn't mind at all whether Hong Qigong defected to him or not. The general trend was not based on personal will. It happened that he had been marching in a hurry for so long and it was time to rest, so he agreed to Hong Qigong's request.

After a while, the disciples of the beggar gang who went to hunt wild game came back with some wild game. Hong Qigong asked Huang Rong to clean it up, and he chatted with Yang Xin. However, there were obviously fewer beggar gangs returning. One, Yang Xin didn't mind, and he also had some guesses about Hong Qigong's mind, nothing more than to inform the Xiangyang defenders in advance to make them ready.

Yang Xinxin gave a cold snort of disdain, Hong Qigong thinks too highly of himself, the disciples sent by Hong Qigong let alone remind the Xiangyang defenders to do a good job of guarding, can they enter the Chengshou mansion, see the guards Generals are everything.Even if they saw it, those civil servants and military generals with high eyesight might not take it seriously, besides, even if they took it seriously, so what?It just added a little trouble to Yang Xin's seizure of the city.

Yang Xin was also happy to take this opportunity to let the soldiers under his command rest.To be honest, Huang Rong's cooking skills are just like this. Without refined salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence and other condiments, Huang Rong's cooking skills are only barely enough for people to eat. There is no way, the cooking skills of this era are far inferior to those of later generations.

After finishing the meal in a hurry, Yang Xin suddenly said: "Brother Guo, Gang Leader Hong, I will give you a huge credit. I let the officials of Zhao Song go. However, they don't seem to be good at riding horses, so they were left behind by me." It’s behind.”

"Brother Yang, why did you let them go?" Guo Jing was puzzled.

"Of course, let these guys who are not successful enough and have more than failed to live well, what a disaster Zhao Song Chaotang, if they are not alive, how can they put the hat of defeat on the soldiers? The heart of a soldier." Yang Xin bared his teeth and smiled, then led his army south.

Guo Jing and Hong Qigong looked at each other, both felt very helpless, heartbroken for Song Dynasty's behavior of using civil to defend military, although after the Jingkang disaster, civil servants relaxed their defenses against generals, but still guarded against them, for fear of reappearing in Tang Dynasty The disaster of the last feudal town.

It's understandable to use Wen Yuwu, but you can't treat soldiers like animals. If it was a peaceful era, it would be fine, but now is the era of wolves.

"Master, our troops are divided into two groups. Master will go to meet the officials of the Song Dynasty. Ronger and I will follow Yang Kang's army south to see how Yang Kang captures Xiangyang and make some preparations for the future." Guo Jing said.

Hong Qigong was well aware of what to do in the future, so Hong Qigong led the disciples of the Beggar Clan to the north to meet the civil servants released by Yang Xin, while Guo Jing and Huang Rong followed Yang Xin to the south and went straight to Xiangyang.

Yang Xin and his party soon arrived at the edge of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River deserves to be known as a natural danger. It was by relying on the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River that the Southern Song Dynasty could rule across the river from the Jin Kingdom.

At this time, there was not even a log on the riverside, not to mention a boat, Huang Rong couldn't help showing a slight smile.Yang Xin understood that not long ago, Hong Qigong sent his disciples to clean up the riverside in order to prevent Yang Xin's army from crossing the Yangtze River.

"Miss Huang, you are too happy. You guys don't know anything about power. Do you really think that mere natural dangers can stop me from crossing the river?" Yang Xin laughed.

"Then ask your soldiers to cross the river to show this girl." Huang Rong chuckled, obviously not thinking that Yang Xin could let his troops cross the river without a boat.

"Then you can watch it." Yang Xin jumped off the horse, came to the riverside, and looked at the Yangtze River silently, and the opposite side of the river was Xiangyang City.

Yang Xin made a move, and the giant dragon Viserion flying in the sky immediately descended from the nine heavens, and finally appeared in front of Yang Xin in human form.

"Get ready for the earth escape technique." Yang Xin said.

"Yes, master!" The giant dragon Viserion made a seal with his hands and got ready.

Yang Xin slowly drew out his sword and pointed at the Yangtze River. His body was like a big gun, slowly accumulating strength and momentum. with a wave.

"Sweeping thousands of troops!" A huge sword energy emanated from Yang Xin's sword.

Huang Rong snorted coldly in disdain. It was obviously a move like "Slashing Huashan".

Immediately, Huang Rong's complexion changed drastically!
Cut off the water with one sword, and cross the river with one sword!
This kind of situation that can only appear in legends appeared in front of everyone. They saw that with Yang Xin's sword energy shot out, the situation where the water was cut off by drawing the knife did not appear, what appeared was that the surging river was directly cut into two broken.

This was Yang Xin's blow with all his energy, spirit, and spirit. After launching this blow, Yang Xin's spirit was a little sluggish, and his body staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Miss Huang, brother Guo, this is my weakest moment, so you don't have any ideas?" Yang Xin laughed.

After Guo Jing and Huang Rong heard Yang Xin's words, they woke up from the shock of breaking the river with a sword, and then looked at Yang Xin complicatedly.

"Taking advantage of others' danger is not what a gentleman does." Guo Jing shook his head and said.

"Ha, Brother Guo, when you helped Temujin defeat Jamuka in Mongolia, you did a lot of taking advantage of others' danger. Also, Miss Huang, Brother Guo is a gentleman and you are not a gentleman, so you don't have any ideas?" Yang Xin's face became paler, but his smile became even brighter.

"I don't dare to do anything, and I don't need to do it. If brother Jing wants to take precautions, this girl has no position at all. In my opinion, if you become the emperor of the Song Dynasty, you are better than Mrs. Zhao." Many, at least you take good care of the people. What's more, in the midst of thousands of troops, there is no good fruit to eat, and, with your treachery, you must have a backhand." Huang Rong had already seen through everything with a pair of eyes. eyes said.

"Oh, it's not easy to lie to you, Viserion, let's do it." Yang Xin said quietly, the pale color on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a normal rosy color.

"Sure enough, you are deceiving people, you are deceiving Brother Jing to do something, so you have a reason to take action against us." Huang Rong said with bright eyes.

"Miss Huang, are you smart or stupid? Is there any reason for me to take action if I want to take action? It has nothing to do with you to destroy you!" Yang Xin jumped on the horseback, looked down at Huang Rong and said.

Huang Rong was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Tudun - Tuliubi!" Viserion immediately launched ninjutsu.

A broad, solid earth wall slowly rises from the bottom of the river, separating the river water in two. Seeing the river roaring with higher and higher water levels, it hits the earth flow wall, and Veselion increases his height After outputting Chakra, several large arched holes suddenly appeared under the soil flow wall to discharge the silted flood.

Viserion perfectly created a bridge along the river with the technique of earth escape - earth flow wall, which would not block the water of the Yangtze River, but also allow Yang Xin's army to cross the river.

"Well... Ninjutsu is the primary productive force. With Viserion here, building a hydroelectric dam is not a joke." Yang Xin smacked his lips and said.

"Cross the bridge!" Yang Xin waved his hand, and the army under his command looked at Yang Xin with god-like eyes, then quickly stepped onto the bridge and went straight to the opposite bank.

"Is this fairy art?" Huang Rong's eyes widened.

"This is ninjutsu. Your mother and your senior sister Mei Ruohua know it too, but they're not that good. Miss Huang, are you interested in coming to my camp, so that I have a reason to teach you ninjutsu." Yang Xin asked.

"I... am with Brother Jing, I will go wherever Brother Jing is." Huang Rong refused.

"Love!" Yang Xin smacked his lips and ignored Rong Rong. He led the army across the river and approached the city of Xiangyang.

The defenders of Xiangyang were already stunned by what they saw before them. They woke up from the endless shock when they saw Yang Xin's army attacking. They hurriedly closed the city gate and informed the city guard. It was a mess.

Taking advantage of the scrambling of Xiangyang defenders, Yang Xin directly let Viserion fly into the city, and with a wind escape-big breakthrough, he knocked the soldiers guarding the gate against the city gate and knocked them unconscious. At the same time, Viserion used Juli opened the city gate.

"March!" Yang Xin waved his hand, and the cavalry under his command immediately rushed into the city. Viserion was not idle, and rushed directly to the city wall. With a simple wind escape-big breakthrough, he directly blew away the Song army guarding the city. Hit the wall and knock him out.

Viserion still held back under Yang Xin's order, otherwise if he used fire escape, the bones of these Song troops would have been gone.

After Yang Xin's army entered the city, they rushed up to the city wall and occupied the city wall first. Then, under the leadership of the giant dragon Viserion, they pushed all the way horizontally, knocking out the Song army defenders on the city wall, and then occupied the city wall. city ​​walls.

After occupying the city wall, Yang Xin stopped attacking, placed the Gatling six-barreled revolving machine gun on the city wall, and fired a burst of fire at a place where there was no one, completely killing the Xiangyang defenders' thoughts of taking back the city wall, and then, Yang Xin used beheading tactics to directly kill the city guard mansion of Xiangyang City, and then escorted Lu Wenhuan, the city guard of Xiangyang City, to surrender the Song army in the city. management.

Xiangyang is an important military town, and there is a granary inside, with countless grains. Yang Xin directly opened the granary to release the grain, and asked the people to receive the grain per head, and then... just stay at home honestly.The people have food in their hands, so they don't panic. Anyway, there is food, and they won't starve to death. Just wait and wait.

As for the civil servants in Xiangyang City, Yang Xin directly threw the leading few people out of the city, assigned them a group of Song troops, and asked them to go to the Zhao Song court in Lin'an to tell the Zhao Song officials his own conditions and use the Song army to surrender. The family members came to exchange for Xiangyang City.

Most of the Song soldiers in Xiangyang City were locals. Yang Xin simply sent these surrendered soldiers and their families to his own government to farm. The next step is to wait for Zhao Song's reaction.

Taking into account the quarrels in the Zhao and Song Dynasties and the current traffic environment, the 20 Song army's family members were at least close to one million people. It would definitely take a lot of time to bring their families here. Yang Xin simply sent Wei Sai Leon stayed in Xiangyang City, while he returned to his own rule and took up residence in Kaifeng to develop farming and resume production.

After waiting for a full year, the Zhao Song court brought the 20 family members of the Song army to Xiangyang City.It's not that Zhao Song admits cowardice, this is a helpless move. It's not that Zhao Song didn't send an army to take back Xiangyang, but the dragon Veserion showed his real body directly and used the fire escape to set the Song army on fire. Fortunately, the dragon Viserion was only intimidating, conducting fire escape exercises in no man's land, otherwise, Viserion alone would be able to wipe out the invading Song army.

This is Yang Xin's order to Viserion. If you can do it without hurting people, don't hurt them. The Zhao Song family and officials will not take the soldiers seriously, but here in Yang Xin, these Song soldiers are treasures.

In the end, Zhao Song fulfilled Yang Xin's request meticulously. After these family members entered Yang Xin's rule and reunited with the surrendered soldiers, Viserion led the army to withdraw from Xiangyang City and handed over Xiangyang City to Zhao Song.

Zhao Song Chaotang did not dare to cut off the bridge built by Viserion in the end. If Viserion could build one, he could build two. Without cutting off the bridge, he could still maintain the superficial peace. , gave Yang Xin a reason to act, Zhao Song's gains outweighed his losses, and Zhao Song Chaotang's performance of bullying the weak and fearing the strong was vividly expressed.

This made people of insight start to feel cold towards Zhao Song. At the same time, news of Yang Xin and his name began to spread in Song Dynasty. In the court of Song Dynasty and among the people before and after tea, Yang Xin's Han background was also revealed by interested people.

For a time, the world was in an uproar.
