Chapter 163: Down to the South of the River

Never overestimate a man's characterization.

The character of a man is actually the same as that of a tiger and a lion, he is not afraid of life and death when he protects his family, but when he is emotional, he just wants to have more.

Their plan was to get the two of them drunk and put them in a room. In this way, when he wakes up at dawn the next day, he can justifiably ask Wang Xiao to be responsible for Hu Sanniang's reputation.

In one word, it is detrimental to one's reputation.

Because they knew the amount of alcohol Wang Xiao, they entrusted the merchants who came to Hujiazhuang to buy military surplus materials, and brought a high number of distilled spirits from Bianliang City. also pulled Zhu Biao, who has an outstanding amount of alcohol, to be a helper.

In the eyes of Hu Cheng and his son, this plan is absolutely seamless.

As long as Wang Xiao wants to save face, he will definitely have to accept Hu Sanniang. This is much better than being a landlord's lady in Dulonggang.

is still the same sentence before, they all imagined Wang Xiao as a little white rabbit who kept to himself.

So the next day, when Hu Cheng and his son saw Hu Sanniang limping away with tears in their eyes, they were dumbfounded.

Hu Sanniang glared at the two of them hatefully, although Wang Xiao had promised in her ear, she was still angry with her father and brother's methods.

It was supposed to wait until the day we got married!

After almost a month, Hu Sanniang didn't talk to her father and brother.

When Wang Xiao told Zhao Fujin about this with some trepidation, and repeatedly emphasized that he was designed by the Hu family father and son, not from his own heart. Zhao Fujin was not jealous, but very happy.

"I've long wanted to be sisters with Sanniang, it's best."

A few days later, when Hu Sanniang's body recovered, a low-key family affair was soon held.

Zhu Biao was drunk that night, and finally wiped his tears and returned to his courtyard to find two maids for comfort.

Hu Sanniang still lives in her own small courtyard, and the room next door is Zhao Fujin.

It's just that at night, Wang Xiao often holds her to find Zhao Fujin, or holds Zhao Fujin to find her.

Wang Xiao's deepest impression of Hu Sanniang is that a pair of long legs are very, very powerful.

That is, he has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, otherwise his waist will be broken.

After that, no other men in this courtyard came, even if Hu Cheng came over, he shouted outside the courtyard.

"General, someone from the Privy Council has arrived!"

Wang Xiao got up under the service of Zhao Fujin and Hu Sanniang, and came to the courtyard to see Hu Cheng, "What's the matter?" ”

Hu Cheng looked a little excited and said, "It's the Privy Council that has promised Lord Li, and the imperial court has officially ordered me to hold the right wing of the Japanese army to the south to support the Western Army to exterminate Fang La!" ”

It's no wonder Hu Cheng is excited.

Now there are no large-scale thieves in Shandong, and there are no military merits and trophies.

The right compartment of the Japanese army, who had tasted the sweetness, had nothing else to do except training all day long, and they were all screaming in a hurry.

The reason why the sergeants had this kind of war-seeking mentality, which was completely different from other Song troops, was because Wang Xiao took out a large part of the spoils of war and distributed them to everyone as dividends.

What is loyal, what goes to the soup and fire, it is all false. Only this kind of tangible benefit in the hands is real.

Wang Xiao's command has been winning battles, and the money and food distributed to him are all ten percent in full. After winning, there will be spoils and dividends.

are all good young men who have not started a family, who doesn't want to fight more wars and earn more dividends to marry a daughter-in-law?

And the people in the court who don't deal with Tong Guan don't want to see Tong Guan monopolize all the benefits. After some discussion, he sent the right wing of the Japanese army who had nothing to do in Shandong to Jiangnan to snatch the credit.

"Did you say that it belonged to Tong Xuanfu?"

Hu Cheng hurriedly shook his head, "No, it is said that they are fighting with each other." ”

Wang Xiao felt a little funny, "It seems that there are many people in the court who are dissatisfied with Tong Guan." ”

Although Wang Xiao has always been very open-minded, he can adapt well to the identity in each different world. It's also clear what to do at what time.

He can even accept a temporary part-time job for Zhao Ji.

But let him work under the hands of a eunuch, he still feels very tired in his heart.

Although the Western Army is powerful, Tong Guan is even more majestic. But as long as there is no direct jurisdiction, then they will not be able to dictate to Wang Xiao.

Tong Guan commanded the Western Army for many years and had great prestige.

And the Western Army was the last and most capable field army in the Great Song Dynasty. Such a group of soldiers and horses has long been in the hands of one person. Even if he is a eunuch, it will make people jealous and worry that something will happen.

This is the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, the heavy suppression of martial arts, the yellow robe and the release of military power with a glass of wine.

There are many people who want to be unlucky for various purposes. Even if it was Zhao Ji, he didn't have the intention of letting Tong Guan withdraw in his heart.

At this time, Wang Xiao was born, and he led the high-class forbidden army of his own people.

Under the impetus of powerful people, it is only natural for the Japanese army to go south to seize the credit.

received the order, got the opening fee issued, and gave Master Du Chengzhi Li a benefit fee. After months of rigorous training, the soldiers and horses are finally able to move.

I can't move anymore.

With so many supernumerary personnel, Wang Xiao opens his eyes every day to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"What are you crying about, it's not the first time."

Wang Xiao naturally raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Zhao Fu and Jin Qiao's face, "At most, I will come back in a few months." ”

Zhao Fujin sobbed and nodded, "Officials, take care of yourself, the slave family is waiting for you to come back." ”

After appeasing Zhao Fujin, Wang Xiao turned around and came to Hu Sanniang, who was twisting and bowing his head, and stretched out his arms to hold her into his arms.

"Fighting is a man's business, what kind of temper do you have?" Wang Xiao raised his hand and pinched Hu Sanniang's fair face, "You guys stay at home, I can rest assured in front." ”

Hu Sanniang put her forehead on Wang Xiao's chest and said sullenly, "Got it." ”

Wang Xiao looked around, looking at the house full of his daughter's small belongings, and laughed.

"Tomorrow we will send troops, and it is estimated that it will take at least a few months. Tonight, you'll have to advance your month's worth of money. ”

The army traveled, and the idle people retreated.

More than 1,000 cavalry rumbled on the avenue, and the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder. The four wild birds and beasts all fled in a hurry.

Successive seizures, plus heavy purchases from Hebei. Only then did Wang Xiao work hard to pull up a cavalry team of 2,000 people.

Because the training time is not long, it is not accurate to say that they are cavalry, it should be mounted infantry.

Not all horses can be military horses, they have to be selected and trained.

Unqualified horses can only be used as pack horses and riding horses. When you see the stories of how many horses can pull up as many cavalry, just smile.

Horses are delicate and can't run all the time, and once they sweat, they will be useless.

The four hooves should be wrapped around the horseshoe, and once the toe is cracked, it is also wasted.

Even if it is well maintained, once you reach the age, you will have to retire and no longer be able to charge.

Therefore, raising cavalry is a very difficult and expensive thing.

If the national strength is insufficient, it will not be able to support it at all.

Like Da Song, the registered horse recorded in the book, who can maintain the best condition for decades and receive rations, is absolutely unique in the world.

The cavalry was followed by a large group of foot soldiers. The march was not noisy, and the queue was neat. The merchants who were hiding on the side of the road were all amazed when they saw it.

Finally, there is a huge convoy, hundreds of carts pulled by oxen and horses, and a long queue of various materials is piled up.

"General, thirty miles ahead is the city of Hangzhou. The royal ruler has sent someone to answer him. ”

Wang Xiao glanced at the sky, "Speed up the march and arrive outside Hangzhou before evening." ”

The total number of troops in this expedition against Fang La was 150,000. The nominal boss is Tong Guan, the Xuanfu envoy of Jiang, Huai, Jing, Zhejiang, etc.

Tong Guan himself did not go to the front line in person, but commanded remotely from the rear. The front-line commanders were Wang Yu, Liu Zhen and others.

Wang Yu is the Wang Yu who held Taiyuan City for 250 days after Tong Guan escaped, and finally died in the end.

His character is Zhengchen, and he is indeed a man as his name suggests.

Wang Xiao led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from Yuncheng, all the way south along the Grand Canal to Runzhou, and then abandoned the boat to go ashore, from Runzhou to the south to Hangzhou.

At this time, it was the beginning of the third year of Xuanhe, and Fang La himself led the main force south to attack Jiangxi, and at the same time sent Fang Qifo to the north.

He didn't expect the main force of the Great Song army to come so quickly, and a large number of men were sent out to attack from all sides. During Fang Qifo's Northern Expedition, he directly collided with the main force led by Wang Yu, and was defeated and fled back to Hangzhou City.

Then Wang Yu pursued and besieged the city of Hangzhou. Until this moment, Wang Xiao led the army to arrive.

Fang La's luck was not good, or he couldn't choose the right time for the incident.

Because at this time, the Great Song Dynasty had already formed an alliance with the Jin State through the Sea Alliance, and was about to send troops to the north to attack the Liao State and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

The soldiers and horses that conscripted Fang La were actually originally used for the Northern Expedition to Yanyun.

If he can endure it for another year and a half, and wait until the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State are in a hot fight, then maybe there will be no matter in the Southern Song Dynasty.

In short, it was the other side who was unlucky and hit the muzzle of the gun directly.

Don't look at the blood flow of this army when they were beaten in the north to Yanyun, but the rabble against Fang La is unparalleled.

In the first battle of Xiuzhou, Fang Qifo was defeated and fled, and was beheaded nearly 10,000 by the battle, and built five Beijing temples.

Now retreating to Hangzhou City, it seems that there are still a lot of manpower, but in fact, it is impossible to hold it due to low morale.

It was getting late, and Wang Xiao finally rushed to the outside of Hangzhou with his army.

At this moment, the outside of Hangzhou has become a huge barracks. Everywhere there were ravines and barracks. Hordes of armor-clad and sword-wielding men walked among them.

As far as the eye can see, there are all officers and soldiers, not to mention tens of thousands.

"The small Ningwu army infantry is waiting for Li Mingyi to meet Lord Deputy Chengzhi."

The envoy of the garrison was brought to Wang Xiao to salute.

Wang Xiao asked casually, "Where is Lord Wang?" ”

Li Mingyi looked embarrassed, and said cautiously, "Commander Li went to inspect the battle situation." ”

Wang Xiao didn't care, "Where is our army's accommodation camp?" ”

Li Mingyi became more and more cramped: "This, it has not been long since our army arrived in Hangzhou, and the camp of our army has still been completed. The camp of the Deputy Commander has not yet been completed. ”

Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment, and looked at the sky that was already gradually darkening, "You mean to say that our army is going to sleep in the wild tonight?" ”

The generals around him were already shouting loudly and angrily, and the short-tempered Lu Zhishen had even drawn his saber.

Li Mingyi's forehead was full of sweat, and he complained in his heart that Wang Yu pushed this kind of thing to him. The stammering explanation said, "The camp of the deputy lord has already chosen a place, but the people are scarce and it has not yet been completed." ”

Wang Xiao said with a faint expression: "Lead the way." ”

Li Mingyi was shocked, isn't this going to make trouble with the royal system? Then doesn't this black cauldron want him to carry it?

"Lead the way to our army camp."

Li Mingyi was shocked and hurriedly ran out to lead the way.

"General!" Angry generals surrounded him. This is clearly giving them a bad ride.

Wang Xiao smiled and turned his head to look at the bright city of Hangzhou, which was reflected by the firelight.

"This matter has nothing to do with him."
