The scorching sun was in the sky, and a group of more than 100 people in the distance walked along the official road like the leaves drying on the trees.

Zheng Ping walked in the front row of the team, unkempt, his hair was scattered, like a chicken nest, the battle jacket on his body had already been torn, and the helmet had long been lost in no known time, only the knife and gun in his hand had not been dropped.

After days of running and toiling, day and night, he escaped a series of Jin people, and finally escaped to the bank of the Zhanghe River. He prepared to march east along the Zhanghe River to see if he could find the Song army's troops.

After a month of lack of water and food, he and his brothers were already hungry and thirsty, and weak.

When everyone set out from the city of Tokyo, there were tens of thousands of soldiers, full of pride, and vowed to kill the gold thieves and recover the rivers and mountains. Who knew that in less than half a year, Jingkang was hastily, sealed the wolf Juxu, and won the northern Gu in a hurry.

"These big bandanas for dog days!"

Under the scorching sun, Zheng Ping glanced at the blazing sun in the sky, and scolded fiercely in his mouth.

If it weren't for the incompetence and cowardice of these superiors, he and his brothers would have been in such a situation! Now they are not human, ghosts and ghosts, all of which are caused by bringing these unconscious officials.

"Brothers, do your best!"

Zheng Ping mustered up his strength, hoarsely shouted, and shouted loudly to the routs behind him like frosted eggplants.

"There's the White Horse Post in front, let's see if I can find something to eat there. Everyone is following, don't be left behind!"

Along the way, I don't know how many brothers died while walking. Many people have more or less wounds on their bodies, and if they don't get proper treatment, I don't know how many brothers will be left behind?

The sergeant in front rushed back in high spirits and said loudly: "Commander Zheng, the front is Licheng County, there is a group of people cleaning up outside the city, it seems that if you want to stay there." There were only a dozen of these people with knives and guns, and the rest were ordinary people. On top of that, they still have a dozen war horses!"

"War horses?"

Zheng Ping couldn't help but feel refreshed, his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Hurry up and lead the way!"

Everyone mustered up their courage and rushed forward, and after walking about a hundred steps, the Li Cheng camp appeared in front of everyone.

I saw a group of people in front of me cleaning the place, and there were some war horses faintly next to them, as if there were a few sergeants.

Several of the leading rout soldiers were stunned for a moment, and then they came over together, and the rout officer led by the rout army had a red face and was sweating profusely, pointing to the people who were cleaning and saying loudly: "Hey, you guys, go find some water!"

He shouted to another officer beside him: "Go, lead a horse and kill it, and then see if there is any food, don't harm these people!"

With that, he walked under the tree next to him, apparently trying to cool off under the tree.

Yang Zaixing, Zhang Heng and others all glared angrily, Yang Zaixing wanted to get on the horse to get a weapon, but was blocked by Wang Song.

"Where are you soldiers and how did you end up here?"

Zhang Heng took a few steps forward, blocked the officers of the rout, and said loudly: "As an official army, what crime should you be guilty of not protecting the people well!"

The officer was furious, waved his hand to push Zhang Heng, and shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu died nine times all his life, and he finally escaped." If you talk nonsense again, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

Zhang Heng grabbed the officer's arm and threw it violently, the officer's body was weak, and he was caught off guard for a while, and he was thrown to the ground, his head and body were covered with dust and leaves.

Annoyed, the officer pulled out his knife sharply, stood up, and came to Zhang Heng, but did not raise the knife in his hand.

He looked at Zhang Heng, who was in a round robe and his eyes were wide open for a long time, his expression changed from anger to confusion and surprise, and the steel knife in his hand fell to the ground with a "clang".

"Zhang Tongzhi, how did you end up here?"

The officer's eyes widened and his face was full of surprise, and he looked to the side in no doubt.

"Not only am I here, but the prince is also here!"

Zhang Heng asked angrily: "You know me, it seems that I am a new army of formation." How did you end up here?"

The rest of the rout were also at a loss, not knowing what had happened.

Suddenly, a few people in the rout knelt down and shouted: "Wang Xianggong is here, Wang Xianggong is here!"

The shouting alarmed all the routs, and everyone gathered around and knelt around Wang Song.

"Xianggong, I can see your old man!"

"Xianggong, the little one is not dreaming!"

"Xianggong, it's good that you're here, the little ones are no longer afraid of the golden people!"

The officer of the rout also knelt down, his head on the ground, and did not dare to speak for a long time.

Wang Song waved his hand, and the dozen or so knights around him put down their weapons.

At this time, he also had a vague impression. These people were all new troops he trained when he was in the capital, but for some reason, they became like this.

"Brothers, get up, don't kneel!"

Wang Song walked over, stood in front of the officers of the defeated army who did not dare to show his face, and said loudly: "Raise your head!"

The officer's face was flushed, he raised his head, hugged his fists and said, "Villain Zheng Ping, I've seen Xianggong!"

Zheng ...... Ping, sure enough, it's you!"

Wang Song suddenly remembered the officer in front of him, and sure enough, it was the new army he recruited when he was in Tokyo City.

"Zheng Ping, where did you come from, and how did you become what you are today?"

Wang Song exclaimed: "I remember that when you left Beijing, you were already the commander of a battalion, with 500 subordinates, how could there be less than 100 people in front of you. What the hell is going on?"

In the city of Tokyo, he trained tens of thousands of new troops, and sent to Shaanxi, not 10,000, but 8,000, and now there are only 100 people left.

You know, this is a city defense, not a field battle, how can you lose so cleanly, and there is not even a pair of pants left.

"Back to Xianggong, the villain's department went out with the army, and the army was in Pucheng, wanting to recover Hezhong Mansion and recapture the important land of Jieyan, so as to relieve the suffering of the salary and silver of the soldiers in the northwest."

Zheng Ping choked up and said: "After Yan Lou's room attacked Shaanxi, the two armies fought fiercely for several days, and they all suffered heavy casualties. Who knew that Fan Xianggong withdrew his army and fled, and the Jin people took the opportunity to storm it, and the brothers suffered heavy casualties. The former army that fled first burned the river bridge, and the brothers had no choice but to jump into the river to escape, and were killed and drowned countless times by the Jin soldiers. ”

Zheng Ping's eyes were full of tears, and he continued: "My brothers and I fought to the death, but fortunately, it rained heavily and it was night, so I was lucky to escape."

Wang Song was furious and said loudly: "It's that Fan Xianggong, who is so mediocre and incompetent, how can he command the three armies?"

The generals next to him were all furious, and they stared at Zheng Ping together.

"It was Fan Zhixu, the envoy of the Shaanxi Five Roads Classic, who let an unknown monk Zhao Zongyin lead the army, but was defeated by Fanzi with a blow. This time, he abandoned the city and fled, and the 5,000 new troops organized and trained by Xianggong were only the 100 people behind the villain. ”

Zheng Ping's tears flowed down his eyes, and he said loudly: "Xianggong, the brothers died miserably!"

"These fools who don't have enough success and more than they fail!"

Wang Song scolded loudly, furious.

The tens of thousands of elite soldiers trained by themselves have lost all their losses in the hands of these cowardly, cowardly and incompetent demented and stupid pigs.

After finishing Yan Lou's room, Wang Song's brows furrowed tightly. If he had the opportunity, he would definitely take down the head of this person to comfort the thousands of soldiers who had been killed.

The people around were also filled with righteous indignation, and they all loudly denounced those fools who led the troops.

"Wang Xianggong, as a villain, these faint officials should be cut with a thousand knives, and it is not a pity to die! It's a pity that the Great Song Dynasty court is like this, how can these fools die, at most they are demoted officials, but it is a pity that thousands of innocent soldiers and people have died!"

Yang Zaixing shook his head and sighed, and there was no sarcasm in his words.

"These idiots, who don't write lyrics and sing songs, run to command the army, it's ridiculous!"

Zhang Heng looked at Wang Song, and saw that he was silent, and couldn't help but think of Dong Ping's words before leaving, which could be described as hitting the nail on the head.

Wang Song, after all, was a little soft-hearted, the affection of the monarch and the minister, and the private relationship between men and women with Zhao Duofu......

Lianghe and Shaanxi Xuanfu envoys, the world is big, recruiting troops and buying horses, borrowing the power of the imperial court, strengthening themselves, making contributions, and winning the world, what are you still hesitating about?

Wake up, the position is high, the merit is high, and the target is the target, Zhang Heng sighed, he was anxious.

"Get up, crying and crying, are you still my Wang Song's soldiers!"

Wang Song shouted angrily at the sergeant kneeling on the ground: "Swallow back your tears!" How Fanzi deals with you, you will call me back a hundred times in the future! ”

"If you violate the military rules, don't make an example, otherwise you will be killed!"

Wang Song Zhengse said: "If you can't kill the enemy well, the military law of the loyal and righteous army will be ruthless!"

Zheng Ping knelt down on one knee and bowed: "Thank you for your success!"

"You still have some kindness!"

Wang Song shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Put away all your tears." Live well, and leave some seeds for the new army in Tokyo City!"

"How did the same soldier get into the hands of these people, and it could be so different?"

Yang Zaixing shook his head and said: "The tens of thousands of new troops that Xianggong has worked hard to train, so far, I don't know how many people can be left?"

Zhang Heng nodded and said, "In the Land of Two Rivers, all the new troops sent out are from the training of officers of my loyal army. If the prime minister gives an order, I'm afraid the two rivers will turn the sky!"

If you want to say who is the most influential person in Lianghe today, I am afraid that only Wang Song is it. All the strong forces in the army, whether they are sergeants or grassroots officers, are all trained by Wang Song, and it can be said that they are all over the world.

It's just a pity that the pearl is secretly invested. Most of the court officials not only used the gods of war frequently, but also often either broke or fled. In the hands of these people, it is still unknown how much the new army will be able to exert its might.

"Xianggong, the use of troops in the northwest of the imperial court is all for the benefit of salt relief."

Dong Xian came up and said in a low voice: "The soldiers fighting are nothing more than money and food. The two rivers have the benefits of salt, charcoal and iron, the Hebei Plain is vast, Tuntian, Yingtian can be, and the southeast of the river is also a place of planting, Xianggong can think about it. ”

Solving the salt, Wang Song couldn't help but bow his head and ponder. Since ancient times, the salt profit is great, and it is related to the national capital. And the foundation of general affairs is money.

Although the loyal army can get food and salary from the imperial court, if it is supported by salt, it is probably much more advantageous to think about it.

Sure enough, it is a celebrity who has been proven in history, and he can see through the essence of the matter at a glance.

Wang Song nodded and said, "What Brother Dong said is very true, let me think about this matter."
