Chapter 35: The Problem

Thirty men and sixty horses stood silently under the sun without saying a word, and the men did not move, and the horses did not seem to move, except for the occasional mane to show that they were not a stone.

When he came out to see, he found that the soldiers of Wu Shengjun did not leave, but stood outside the door and waited, and unconsciously surrounded by idlers, pointing at them and gossiping.

"You see, these Qiu Ba don't seem to move, and the armor on their bodies is torn like that, and they are embarrassed to show off in Tokyo, I tell you, my cousin is holding the Japanese army, and the bright silver armor of others is the real armor.

You look at their broken armor, it's got scratches all over it, and there's a hole here......"

"Except for that Yu Hou, no one else can see it, and if you come out in the middle of the night and say it, you may be able to scare someone to death......"

"Didn't you almost scare people to death just now?"

"Hehe, Xiang Jun turned out to be like this! I thought they would only pick up the dung in the city. ”

The little official couldn't help but come out and arch his hand to Lang Tan and said, "Since the general has already delivered the paperwork, and the lower official has also signed the receipt, why don't you go to the post station to rest, why do you stay here and be laughed at by these ignorant people?" ”

Lang Tan glanced at the little official and said: "A certain family is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and naturally obeys the military orders of my family general at the border pass, since he has arrived in the capital, only His Majesty Xià can instruct a certain family, and His Majesty has not yet ordered to remove the armor, and a certain family does not dare to leave!" So that Lang went to do his own errands, and a certain family waited here, obeying His Majesty's military orders. ”

The little official was choked by these words and had nothing to say, so he had to arch his hand and shake his head and leave, he really couldn't think of how His Majesty could possibly give any will to these low-level soldiers.

When he returned to the concert hall and told his colleagues about it as a joke, everyone else laughed, except for a very old official in the middle who did not laugh. He seemed to remember that he seemed to have experienced such a scene during the Taizong period, but he was too young at that time to remember it clearly, but as an old official. I have eaten yamen rice for a lifetime. Naturally, I know that I am not afraid of strange things, but I am afraid that I will not cope well. It is precisely because of this character that he can sit firmly as the first official of the concert hall as Bai Ding.

"Shu Tong, there's nothing funny about this. It can only be said that the generals of the people have strict military laws, and they know the way to advance and retreat, and the rights of all the people in the Great Song Dynasty come from this Tokyo Bianliang City. It doesn't matter if anyone's rights, especially military power, you don't care if there are three people or 30,000 people, it's the same. Let's run again, this is a very old taboo, but the descendants have forgotten it, and the long-standing majesty has forgotten it. We're born to run errands, and there's nothing wrong with running more. ”

The old boiler thought for a while, and then told the young boiler in the official hall about the power of this matter.

The young official immediately lost his smile, stepped forward to give the old official a salute, and hurriedly ran out of the official hall, this matter is handled by the secretary's cabinet, as long as he does his duty, he can't die if he runs more.

After the young man ran out, the rest of the officials immediately gathered around the old man and asked about the long time ago. The old man did not refuse and said in a deep voice: "The old man is about to go home to care for the elderly, but your road is still long, and what we are doing is a job of serving people...... Running more errands and asking less questions is the way to save your life, and you have to have a long mind and remember all the rules in the yamen, whether it is the old one or the new one......"

Shu Tong, the young official, ran more than 300 steps, hurriedly entered the secretary's pavilion, and truthfully told a young official inside what was happening outside the gate, and the young official was greatly surprised when he heard it, and he couldn't remember when the Great Song Dynasty began to have such rules.

Seeing that the matter has been clearly explained, there is no need to stay any longer, and he returns to the official hall after a confession, reminding others that this kind of thing is rare in the yamen, and sometimes it may cause unnecessary trouble to himself, which is the way to protect himself.

The young official thought about it for a long time, but he didn't think that the Great Song Dynasty still had such rules, and he couldn't help but laugh and felt that these Qiu Ba seemed to be deliberately causing His Majesty's idea, which belonged to the way of flattery, so he laughed it off, those people didn't get a response, and sooner or later they would disperse, so they didn't need to think about it......

The court not far away became tense, Zhao Zhen's face became iron-blue, and he patted Yu Jing's twist and turn and said slowly: "Nong Zhigao is about to be conferred the head, this matter is a foregone conclusion, but how can my 30,000 elite army come back?" Do you really want them to pass through the epidemic area? I don't dare to take this risk, I ask you, do you dare to take this risk?

Today, we must discuss and come up with a decision, if the 30,000 troops do not return to Tokyo for a day, we will not be at peace for a day. ”

Pang Ji went out of the class and said: "Qi Xià, the army is out, naturally it is a river of blood, not to mention that this time it is the elite division of the Great Song Dynasty, everywhere it goes, the heads are naturally rolling, Yun Zheng can not kill no less than 40,000 in the hot spring pass, Di Shuai is in the Quy Nhon shop and Nong Zhigao battle, it is also a place where tens of thousands of enemy soldiers die without a burial, the southern climate is humid and warm, these corpses will naturally rot and finally be devoured by birds and beasts, so it is very easy to have epidemics.

And Wuchao City, is the place where the two armies fight for life and death, judging from the battle report, a small canyon, the two sides mobilized 100,000 soldiers, and fought here for 38 days, even the war elephants were dispatched, the tragedy of this battle can be imagined, and the corpses are like a mountain I am afraid it is not enough to describe.

Di Shuai and General Yun are not so much fighting with Nong Zhigao, but rather fighting with Jiaozhi, Dali and Nong Zhigao, and now relying on the bravery of the soldiers, they finally broke through the moat and besieged the nong thieves in the lonely city.

However, after many days of fighting, corpses are all over the field, and it rains heavily, after the rainstorm, the weather becomes warmer, and the epidemic is naturally everywhere, Weichen estimates that Di Shuai and other front generals also expected such a situation, so they took the risk to divide the troops, General Yun trapped the enemy in the black nest, Di Shuai's army went on an expedition to Di Yi and did his best, but he did not expect the epidemic to rise so quickly, this is not a human fault, but a heavenly punishment, this matter must be considered in the long run, can not be hastily agreed. ”

Zhao Zhen closed his eyes painfully and said: "My army is now fighting in the wind and rain, trekking in the wilderness, my heart aches like a knife every time I think about it, and now the war is about to be decided, but this kind of thing happened, not only beyond the expectations of the generals in front, but also beyond my expectations, is it really that my virtue is not enough, I do not deserve to enjoy such a great victory, if I can rely on the edict of sin to avoid this disaster, I do not hesitate to give ten sin edicts, if I can pray to God to alleviate the crisis of my army, I will go to bathe and purify my body to pray for self-reflection." ”

Han Qi laughed and said: "Your Majesty, why worry, this matter is not urgent, as long as Di Qing leads the army to be stationed in the state for a year, waiting for those epidemics to naturally recede, you can safely pass through the epidemic area, this expedition is a great victory of the national dynasty, Your Majesty does not need to worry, it's just that the army will come back a year late." ”

Wen Yanbo frowned and said: "It's not that simple, God knows when the epidemic will recede, Guangyuan Prefecture has no four seasons, unlike the north, as long as it experiences a cold winter, the epidemic will naturally recede, no one can tell us for sure whether there is an epidemic there, the most terrifying one, Weichen is more worried that the epidemic will chase Di Shuai all the way to the north, after all, Di Shuai will continue to kill all the way, and it is impossible to seal the knife."

In addition, Weichen would like to ask: Why is Wu Shengjun not afraid of the epidemic and has been fighting in the epidemic area for more than two months, why has there been no battle damage? What is the reason for this? Who can tell me, if Wu Shengjun is not afraid of the epidemic, why is Di Shuai's army very afraid, what is the reason? Can Yu Jing, the pacification envoy of Guangnan, have a special explanation in the military newspaper? ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this, and he quickly opened Yu Jing's recital, read the last part, and took it to Zou Tong with a long sigh for the ministers to circulate.

"Yun Zheng's method is unrepeatable, Wu Shengjun has a strict whole army has developed the habit of epidemic prevention, Jiazi Battalion relied on this set to flourish in Western Xia, so it can be fearless in the face of the epidemic, and trap the thieves alive in the lonely city. It was impossible for the Western Army to do this, and as soon as the epidemic was discovered, Yun Zheng ordered the Guangnan Army to quickly withdraw south, which allowed the Guangnan Army to escape. ”

The corners of Wen Yanbo's mouth twitched, and he also sighed and retreated, this matter is related to the fortune of the country, no one dares to make a decision that determines the lifeblood of the whole army, such a decision can only be made by the emperor, and this is where Zhao Zhen's pain lies.

The hall was unusually quiet, but it was very lively outside the concert courtyard, and there were more and more people in Kaifeng who came to see the strange people of the Wusheng army, and there were even vendors carrying baskets along the street to sell dried fruits, and they had never seen heavily armed soldiers, let alone a sergeant like Wu Shengjun who had been armed to the teeth.

"Look, why is the crossbow on their backs so strange, and there is even a crutch, what is the reason, and what is the purpose of sticking a knife in a sleeve under the ribs?"

"Look, the strongest guy still has a pair of chain hammers wrapped around his waist, and there are spikes on the hammers, you see, some of the spikes have fallen, and they are glowing red, this is the ...... that has killed too many people and is stained red with blood."

"The strangest thing is that they all have a big patch on their buttocks, the box army is too poor, and they don't have a good shirt, poor ......"

"War horses are all good horses, they are all good horses with five-year-old mouths, you look at those ears, this is the legendary head and shoulders of the rabbit, the grass and ears of the fox, the eyes and neck of the bird, the fins and ridges of the fish, yes, this is the sign of a good horse, but the coat color is messy, it must not be fed well......"

"Know a fart, walk like a dragon, walk like a horse. Horses, the foundation of the armor soldiers, the great use of the country, this is the famous saying of the Han Fubo general Ma Yuan, such a war horse should go into battle to fight, how can it be insulted to the hands of slaves......"
