Chapter 316: Yang Zaixing 1
In the face of the fierce Jin army, the newly ascended Emperor Gaozong was at a loss for a while, and immediately gathered his ministers to discuss the decision to deal with the enemy. At that time, there were two factions in the DPRK and the main war, and there was a great difference of opinion between the two sides.
Gaozong considered that he had just ascended the throne and had not yet gained a stable foothold, and if he adopted the advice of the Lord and the faction and surrendered, he would inevitably end up with the same tragic fate as Emperor Hui and Emperor Qin. In order to keep his throne and the world of the Zhao family, he finally adopted the advice of the main battle faction and decided to reuse the loyal general Yue Fei.
Yue Fei, who joined the army at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, made many military exploits, he was upright and eager to serve the country, so when the emperor wanted to reuse him, he immediately said goodbye to his beloved wife Li Wa, dressed up, and led his beloved son Yue Yun and his generals to rush to the front line to resist the enemy.
When Yue Fei led his troops to Shandong, a soldier suddenly reported: "The holy decree has arrived!"
How dare Yue Fei slack off, he hurriedly left the saddle and knelt on the ground, saying long live and listening to the holy decree. The great eunuch got off the horse, and read the decree aloud with a solemn expression: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says: Yue Aiqing will do his best to defend the king, lead the generals of Xiong Zhen, and then drive the army of tigers and leopards, and will definitely be able to sweep away the golden prisoners and settle our society." However, the external insult has not been eliminated, and the internal troubles have been born again, and now there is a rebel general Yang Zaixing called the army on the side of Jiulong Mountain, which is really an obstacle to the journey, and it is advisable to ask for it. In order to drum up the morale of the army, the queen personally embroidered the dragon and phoenix flag, and used the table to serve the country loyally to help the army. ”
After Yue Fei received the order, he couldn't help but think in his heart: "Now that I have just sent out the army, and I have not yet competed with the Jin Wuxuan, why did the Holy Lord send an edict to me to crusade against Yang Zaixing? As far as I know, Yang Zaixing adheres to the family motto and has the ambition of serving the country, but it is only because he witnessed the corruption of the court and the traitor in power that he turned against the court. If I destroy him, will I not fail the good of my predecessors?"
When Yue Fei thought of this, he hesitated for a moment. He pondered for a long time, and finally came up with an idea of both, instead of eliminating Yang Zaixing according to the holy decree, Mo Ruo advised him to put the overall situation first, join hands with himself, and fight against the Jin Kingdom together.
Yue Fei had made up his mind, and he immediately ordered Niu Gao, the general of the army, to order him to lead 3,000 men and horses to Jiulong Mountain first, and persuade Na Yang Zaixing to return to the imperial court.
Niu Gao was rude and bold by nature, and he had eight friendships with Yue Fei, so he spoke more casually, so he immediately asked: "Then what if he doesn't listen to persuasion?"
Yue Fei pondered for a moment and said, "Then don't use force with him, I'll be there later, hurry up!"
Jin Guojun's military advisor Ha Mi Chi was a resourceful man, and when he spied on the military situation in the Central Plains, he quickly returned to the camp to give advice to Jin Wuxuan. He said: "Zhao Gou reuses Yue Fei, which is very detrimental to the wolf master, this time Yue Fei commands the army to compete with our army, and there will inevitably be a fierce battle." However, according to Xia Guan, Yue Fei's trip was not smooth sailing, because Yue Fei had to pass through Jiulong Mountain when he went north, and he would inevitably be blocked at that time. ”
Jin Wuqi was puzzled and asked what was going on, Ha Miqi smiled slightly and said: "Because Yang Zaixing, the leader of Jiulong Mountain, is a descendant of the Yang family generals, his ancestors were killed by traitors, and there is no good end." He had a grudge against this, so he turned against the court and entrenched himself on Jiulong Mountain, specifically against the court. ”
Jin Wushu asked, "What kind of virtue does this person have?"
Ha Mi replied: "This Yang Zaixing is brave and fierce, has the unstoppable courage of ten thousand people, the family heirloom Yang family gun, the marksmanship is magical, no one resists, and the terrain of Jiulong Mountain is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack." If Yue Fei was intercepted by him, he would inevitably lose his troops, and wouldn't it be of great benefit to our army at that time. ”
When Jin Wuxuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "Listening to the words of the military advisor, this Yang Zaixing has a grudge against the Song court, if he can return to his lonely family, he will be able to help me destroy the Song Dynasty." ”
He then said to Ha Michi: "The annoying military division went to Jiulong Mountain on behalf of Gu and persuaded Yang Zaixing that if he succeeded, the lonely family would be rewarded." ”
When Ha Mi Chi heard this, he waved his hand again and again and said: "It's not that the lower officials don't want to go, it's just because he went to Lu'an Prefecture last time to persuade Lu Deng, but instead of succeeding, he cut off his nose, if he ...... it again this time."
Jin Wushu stopped Ha Mi and said: "The military advisor doesn't have to worry too much, the lonely family will immediately repair a book, and the annoying military advisor will hand it over to him in person." I think that since he is loyal and good, he must know the truth of not cutting down. Jin Wuxuan said, then picked up the pen to repair the book, although Ha Mi Chi had palpitations, but there was nothing to do, so he had to act according to the order.
Ha Mi Chi carried the letter, and came to Jiulong Mountain with courage, and the minions guarding the mountain drank him loudly, and after asking about the intention, he went up the mountain to report. After a while, the minions came back and still shouted to Ha Michi: "My village owner has an order, tell you to report to the door!"
Ha Mi was like a blow to the head, and he was very unhappy in his heart, and hurriedly argued: "I am a dignified envoy, how can I report to the door?"
The minions did not show weakness: "If you don't report to the door, don't think about entering the mountain!"
Ha Mi Chi is a person who has changed his power, and he thought: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and if you are under the eaves, how can you not bow your head?"
Yang Zaixing is young and vigorous, a talent, he sits proudly in the main hall and does not get up to greet him. Ha Mi Qi entered the hall and bowed down, saying, "General Yang." ”
Yang Zaixing asked, "Who are you?
Ha Mi Chi replied: "In Xia Ha Mi Chi, I came to write a book on the order of my wolf lord Jin Wuxuan. ”
Yang Zaixing took the letter and read it in a hurry, he couldn't help but burn with anger and his face was flushed, and in anger, he tore the letter to pieces, pointed his finger at Ha Mi, and said loudly: "I think my Yang family is loyal and good for generations, although Zaixing is not a Song dynasty faint monarch, but he regards the Jin State as a great enemy." A dignified man, how can you have the idea of being a fan of gold?"
Ha Mi Chi refused to give up, and took a few steps forward and talked eloquently: "General Yang, there is a way to know the times for those who are handsome." If the general abandons the darkness and surrenders to the wolf lord of my family, he will be able to be a high-ranking official in the future. ”
"Phew!" Yang Zaixing was furious, and scolded Ha Mi with a fierce voice: "How can you be allowed to chatter on Jiulong Mountain, come, blast me down the mountain!"
said that it was too late and that was fast, Yang Zaixing gave an order, and a few minions pushed me and drove him out of Jiulong Mountain.
The reason why Yang Zaixing is so violent is of course because he has always hated Jin Guo, but it is also directly related to his recent restlessness. Before the arrival of Ha Miqi, Niu Gao had come to worship the mountain and conveyed Yue Fei's message, persuading him to return to the imperial court and cooperate against Jin. He knows Yue Fei's character well and respects him, but he has always been obsessed with the persecution of the Yang family by the Song court, and it is difficult to change his mind.
However, at the moment of the great enemy, as a bloody man, he refused to witness the tragic ravages of his flesh and blood compatriots by foreign countries, and wanted to lead the troops to attack and beat the arrogant Jin soldiers to the ground. At that time, his heart was full of contradictions, and he was really in a dilemma. Therefore, he did not accept Niu Gao's persuasion, but sternly refused to submit to the imperial court.
Niu Gao saw that the persuasion failed, so he became angry: "I see that you are toasting and not eating and drinking, if you insist on not surrendering, don't blame our Yuejia army for being polite!"
Yang Zaixing is also a man of strong blood, how can he tolerate such threatening words, and after a burst of laughter, he said categorically: "Although Zaixing disdains to be loyal to the faint king, he has deep affection for the father and elder of the Central Plains. It's not difficult to ask me to work together to fight against Jin, and I must first compete with your marshal. ”
Although Yang Zaixing challenged Yue Fei, it was difficult to calm down in his heart. Just when he was sullen and thinking to himself, suddenly another soldier came to report: "Qi Yu the owner of the village, the army of the court has come down from the mountain, and the person who is the leader wants to see the owner of the village." When Yang Zaixing heard this, he knew that it was Yue Fei who had really arrived, so he immediately led his minions down the mountain to meet him.
The Yue family army under the mountain was neatly lined up, and Yue Fei, who was the leader, rode on a tall horse, which was even more majestic. Yang Zaixing whipped his mount to catch up. Yue Fei clasped his hands into fists and greeted him with a smile: "General Yang, don't come to harm." ”
Yang Zaixing looked Yue Fei up and down, and suddenly felt familiar: "Oh, isn't it the hero who shot King Xiaoliang on the Bianliang Elementary School Field?"
Yue Fei said: "It's not Yue Fei. ”
Yang Zaixing returned the salute and said, "It's disrespectful." Then he opened his mouth and asked, "General Yue is not going to conquer the Tartars, what is he doing in my Nine Dragon Mountain?"
Yue Fei said: "General Yang, you are the son of Jiangmen, why did you lose your body and fall into the grass?"
Yang Zaixing sneered and said: "I am a dignified man, don't I know the truth of serving the country? So I came to this Jiulong Mountain in a fit of rage, I am flesh and blood, with the great ambition of saving the country, intending to kill the retired people and reorganize the mountains and rivers. ”
Yue Fei said with a smile: "You and I are of the same heart and the same reason, why don't you join hands and work together to destroy the Jinren?"
Yang Zaixing waved his hand again and again and said: "Say that people are of the same mind, the same heart, Zaixing only wants to save Li Min, and will never be loyal to the court. Even if the general is loyal and courageous to serve the service, he is afraid that he will inevitably be victimized by traitors in the future. Listen to my advice, it is better to take charge of Jiulong Mountain with me, and after you and I work together to destroy Jin, we will try to save the country. ”
Yue Fei disagreed: "General Yang, I, Yue Fei, only know that I am dedicated to serving the country, and I have no greed, and I have long put my personal safety out of the way." Now that the enemy is present, the general should focus on the overall situation and put the grievances of his family and his own behind him. Even if I endure humiliation and bear the burden, I should help me and work together to sweep away foreign countries. ”
Yue Fei's awe-inspiring righteousness couldn't help but make Yang Zaixing's heart move, and he arched his hand and asked, "Could it be that he wants to return to the general's command again?"
Yue Fei said with a smile: "Don't dare, I really love the general, and I want to use the general's talent." ”
Yang Zaixing lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "Well, thanks to the marshal's love for such a lot, how can Zaixing not be flattered." It's just that I'm a seven-foot man, so how can I easily bow down and obey orders?"
Yue Yun asked, "What's the matter?
Yang Zaixing said: "Since I have spoken first, I must fight it." ”
Yue Fei smiled slightly and said, "Oh, there must be an injury when the two tigers fight, and Yue Fei is willing to bow down." ”
Yang Zaixing, who has a strong temperament, heard this, and suddenly made a straight face: "What do you say about being willing to bow to the wind, it is clearly despising Zaixing and disdaining the competition, since this is the case, Zaixing will never be reluctant." Minions, go back to the mountains!"
"Slow!" Yue Fei hurriedly stopped: "The general insists on comparing, Yue Fei has no choice but to accompany him, if he wins the general......
"Zaixing is willing to submit to the horse, what if you don't win?"
"This ...... If I don't win, I will be relieved and return to the field to work hard. ”
"A gentleman's word?"
"How can you go back on it!"
"It's so offended, look at the gun!"
Yue Fei's hand was quick, and he reached out to grab the barrel of the gun that Yang Zaixing stabbed over: "Slow, you and I are fighting today is extraordinary, we must fight alone, not with the help of others." ”
Yang Zaixing pulled back the silver gun: "Okay, just according to the marshal, you and I will give each order." ”
The people present looked at each other and had to retreat according to the order to witness this rare battle.
