Chapter 135: People's hearts are selfish

Fuzhou City, Fuzhou Yamen, all the generals gathered together, everyone was anxious, and everyone was restless.

"Hurry up, say quickly, why did the Jurchens withdraw their troops, did reinforcements really arrive?"

In the lobby of the Fuzhou Chengzhou Ya, as soon as the investigating sergeant entered the door, he stood up from his chair with a look of anxiety.

The sergeant looked happy, knelt down on one knee and said: "Back to Xianggong, Yangjiagou, eighty miles southwest of Fuzhou City, Fanzi's southern camp has been breached!" When the villain went, the remnants of Wanyan Lou's army and the Nanda Battalion were defeated by more than 5,000 people, and they were facing off against the Song army who came to help in Yangjiagou, and the battle was about to break out!"

Another sergeant also hugged his fists and said: "Xianggong, the corpses of the entire Yang family ditch are all over the field, and there are at least more than 10,000 people." We captured a few Han children who had fled, saying that the Song army on the opposite side was the loyal army in Hedong, and their southern camp had been completely defeated. However, the loyal army also paid five or six thousand casualties, and there should be about 10,000 people!"

Everyone in the hall gasped. There were 20,000 people in the Jurchen Southern Battalion, and the Jurchen cavalry alone was tens of thousands, and in this way, in the field, they were defeated by the loyal army!

Zhe Keqiu sat back in the chair, Zhe Yanshi nodded, and said loudly to the sergeant: "Continue to investigate, come back at any time to report the news, and there will be a reward for turning back!"

The sergeant walked out happily, leaving all the people in the hall looking at each other.

Zhi Yanshi said cautiously: "Father, the Hedong Loyal and Righteous Army came to the aid of thousands of miles and annihilated the Jurchen Southern Battalion, which also greatly improved the situation in Linzhou and Fuzhou, which is really gratifying!"

Zhi Yanruo frowned and said: "Looking at the news reported by the sergeant, there are only 10,000 loyal soldiers. The subordinates of Wanyan Lou's room are the elite of the Jurchen cavalry, plus the remnants of the defeated generals, at least 156,000, plus 10,000 Han'er, there are 25,600 people. The loyal army is outnumbered, and our army must go to their aid!"

The children of the Zhi family in the hall are all watching the head of the Zhi family beg for help, waiting for him to give military orders.

Zhe Keqiu's eyes flickered, and he sat in the hall, brushing his beard, not knowing what he was thinking.

The whole army of Fuzhou City is only 15,000 men and horses, and if it goes to the rescue, I am afraid that it will have to come out.

There was silence in the hall, and the pin drop could be heard. Zhe Keqiu didn't say a word, and none of the children of the Zhe family dared to speak.

As the crowd looked at each other, the sergeant hurried in from outside the hall, saying that a messenger from the Loyal Army had come.

Everyone was shocked, and everyone looked at it.

"Bring people in!"

Tan Xiong came in, covered in mud and sweating profusely, and stepped forward to salute him, and his words were sincere.

"Zhe Xianggong, Wang Xianggong is fighting with Fanzi, Fanzi is powerful, please go to reinforcements!"

"Brother Tan, go back and tell Wang Xianggong that the Zhejia army has suffered heavy casualties, and it is already a problem to hold on, and it may be difficult to go out of the city to rescue."

Zhe Keqiu's face was full of sorrow, and he sighed, which made Tan Xiong's heart feel half cold.

"There are still 8,000 brothers in the loyal army, which is enough to resist for a while. As long as the prince leads the army to contain it, the prince will be able to lead the army to break out of the encirclement. ”

Tan Xiong begged bitterly, and was about to fall to his knees.

"Brother, it's not that the official is unwilling to rescue, it's really helpless. Although there are more than 10,000 soldiers in this Fuzhou city, if they go out to rescue and Fanzi takes the opportunity to attack the city, what will happen to the hundreds of thousands of people in Fuzhou City?"

Tan Xiong's heart was cold, and he said goodbye: "Since this is the case, Zhe Xianggong will sit firmly on Diaoyutai and watch from the wall." Farewell!"

Zhe Keqiu got up and said angrily: "You are a little scout, what qualifications do you have to point fingers here!" The safety of Fuzhou City is a big matter, and this official is the shepherd of the Son of Heaven, and it is his duty to do so, so I don't need to explain it to you!"

Tan Xiong laughed, glanced at the children of the folded family in the hall, and his voice was full of sadness.

"Thousands of miles to rescue, thank you behind closed doors! What a broken army! Wang Xianggong, the villain is incompetent, so he can only fight you to the death!"

All the generals in the hall were red-faced, and everyone hung their heads and said nothing. Tan Xiong turned around and strode out.

"Brother, wait."

Zhi Yanzhi grabbed Tan Xiong and said loudly: "Brother, you go back first to resume your life, I will discuss it with my uncle again, and send troops as soon as possible!"

Tan Xiong clenched his fists and left, everyone in the hall was silent, and after a while, Zhi Yanzhi raised his head and coughed lightly.

"Uncle, let's send troops now, and when we get to Yangjiagou, it's already dark, and I'm afraid both sides have suffered heavy casualties. At that time, our army entered from the side, and Wang Xianggong attacked back and forth, and the Jin people collapsed without a fight. ”

As soon as Orihiko's voice fell, some people in the hall shook their heads in disagreement.

"How many men and horses does it take for the army to go out of the city? After Yan Lou's room is treacherous with soldiers, how can Fanzi not have an ambush? If they all go to Yangjiagou, Fanzi will attack, the city will be broken, who will protect the families and people in the city?"

Zhi Yanruo shook his head and said: "Fuzhou ravines are vertical and horizontal, as long as you go to five thousand people and march in formation, there will be no major incidents." The loyal army has one enemy and two enemies, and Fanzi can't draw troops to deal with us at all. ”

Zhi Yan nodded and said, "What Yan Ruo said is right. Fuzhou is the territory of our family army, as long as we join forces with the loyal army, we can't help it. ”

He looked at the fold and said loudly:

"Uncle, the loyal and righteous army has rescued thousands of miles and suffered heavy losses, if we can't shrink back, how will the world see us, and how will we deal with ourselves?"

The generals were gossiping and talking. Those young generals are all full of righteous indignation and are willing to fight. The veterans are hesitant and hesitant, and of course there are opponents, but there are fewer of them.

Zhe Keqiu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "Order all the soldiers, prepare the army and horses, and be ready to fight again at any time!"

The generals said yes and went down separately, Zhi Yanruo was also very excited, glanced at his father, and said goodbye and left the lobby.

Zhi Yanzhi finally got up, looked at Zhi Keqiu for a moment, smiled lightly, shook his head, and sighed and left.

Fold Keqiu's face is pale. This old nephew is becoming more and more presumptuous.

Zhi Yanruo and a group of officers went out of the state office, and they were excited.

"Brothers, go down and prepare, today we will work with the brothers of the loyal army to kill these fans! Fanzi has harmed so many people, and we have killed so many brothers, and today we will let out this evil breath!"

A white-haired veteran shook his head and said, "Young General, if you send troops, you should go out now." Yangjiagou is eighty miles away, the mountain road is difficult to walk, the army and horses are rectified, and the army has to rest on the road, so it will take two hours, if you don't go now, I'm afraid it's too late!"

Zhi Yanruo was stunned for a moment, and he was stunned there.

Orizuki stood on the city wall, looking in the direction of the south in a daze.

Half an hour passed, an hour passed, the sergeants who were inquiring came in and out from time to time, the battle situation in front was reported one by one, and the state hall was still quiet, and there was still no military order for any support.

Two hours passed, and it was almost dusk, the south gate of Fuzhou was opened, and several horses rushed in like a whirlwind, and the spies who went out came back.

Zhi Yuexiu couldn't help but stop the spies, and shouted loudly: "Brother below, how is the battle situation ahead, report quickly!"

The spy looked left and right, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and then said: "The prime minister has an order, and the military situation should not be leaked, so it is better to ask the prime minister." However, General Oritsuki is also in the Loyal Army. ”

Zhiyan Yuexiu sighed in her heart, it seems that the war ahead is not very optimistic.

Otherwise, if it is a great victory for the loyal army, the sergeant will speak out loudly, which is not considered disobedience to the military order.

The spies entered the city, and Zhiyuexiu turned around and continued to watch from the city wall.

It was Wang Song and the Loyal Righteous Army who came. She was worried, but she didn't dare to go out of the city to rescue. She is a person who has a marriage contract, and if she goes, what will the world think of her?

Zhe Yanruo walked outside the door of the state hall and happened to meet the sergeant coming out. If Zhi Yan pulled the spy aside, the spy had no choice but to say in a low voice: "The loyal army has suffered heavy casualties and is fighting at night, I am afraid that there will be more than one bad luck!"

The sergeant left in a hurry, and Zhi Yanruo entered the lobby with a heavy heart, and found that his father was in the lobby, his brother Zhi Yanshi was talking, and a group of generals of the Zhi family were sitting next to him.

"Father, what's the battle ahead?"

If Zhi Yan hugged his fists, his heart went up and down.

Another officer had just come in, stood up and asked, "Xianggong, what is the battle ahead, please let the minister know!"

Zhi Keqiu glanced at everyone, without any expression on his face, and Gu Jing said without wavering: "The battle ahead is fierce, and Wang Xianggong's subordinates have the upper hand. I believe that the loyal army will definitely be able to defeat Fanzi. ”

An officer was young and vigorous, couldn't hold back any longer, and said loudly: "Xianggong, General Yuezhi is still in the loyal army, you have to think twice!"

Zhe Keqiu's face turned pale, slapped the table, and said loudly: "The elite of Wanyan Lou's room is extremely fierce. The loyal and righteous soldiers are strong and strong, and only they can deal with the iron cavalry of Wanyan Lou's room. The Zhejia army suffered heavy casualties, and there were only more than 10,000 people left in the city, more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to attack. Yuezhi is the niece of the old man, doesn't the old man know the priorities? ”

Everyone was still about to speak, but Zhe Keqiu waved his hand, lowered his face and said, "Continue to investigate, and wait for the news of the spies to come back!"

Zhe Keqiu got up and walked to the back hall. Everyone in the hall looked at each other and was speechless.

Zhi Yanshi said to everyone: "I strictly abide by the military order and rectify the city defense, so as to prepare for the attack of Fanzi at any time!" Information about the Loyal and Righteous Army must not be leaked, and those who violate military law will be involved!"

Zhi Yanyan also stood up and nodded: "This matter must not be known to Yuexiu!" Uncle only has one bloodline, if she goes out of the city to save the loyal army, there is an accident, you and I are sinners of the family!"

Everyone clasped their fists together and bowed: "Obey the military order!"

Zhi Yanruo shook his head and walked out of the lobby. The loyal and righteous army came to help, but the Zhejia family was indifferent, and I don't know how people in the world would look at the Zhejia.

The night is confused, and on the obscure city wall, Zheyuexiu is still looking at the south stupidly.

Groups of spies went out of the south gate and galloped south.

Jurchen rangers outside the city are haunted everywhere, and in such a situation, groups of knights go out of the city, and it can only be said that the war in the south is extremely tragic.

Zhehu has already delivered the letter, the loyal army is here, Wang Song is here, and she can only watch from the wall here.

What can you do in the tragic war? With what she knew about her uncle, he wouldn't send troops to relieve the siege for any outsiders, and he couldn't afford such a big loss.

What can I do if I go, I can only help. The south of the city is full of Jurchen rangers, if they are caught by the Jinren, they will become Wang Song's burden, and now only the Bodhisattva blesses, Wang Song can win this war.

Zhi Yanruo and Zhi Yanshi went up to the city wall, looking at the Zhiyue Show staring on the city wall, and there was a trace of surprise in her heart, she turned a blind eye to such a big war act.

Zhi Yuexiu saw the two brothers Zhi Yanshi and Zhi Yanruo, and smiled indifferently, with endless mockery and contempt in her smile.

Zheyuexiu's face was calm, and she walked past the two of them without looking back.

Zhi Yanruo and Zhi Yanshi's faces were red and white for a while, and they looked at each other. Now they understand what it means to be a thief and what it means to be ungrateful.

Not surprisingly, the Folded Family, this time it will be "famous all over the world"!
