Chapter 073: Hope

"The imperial court has moved south!"

Beijing Daimyo's Mansion and the left-behind Si Zhengtang, as the highest military general left behind in the Daimyo's Mansion today, received the news that the Great Song Dynasty had moved south, Yue Fei's face was pale and stunned.

Yue Fei probably never thought that he would fall into such an embarrassing state today.

From the once full of ambition and ambition to the stable and dull, and then to the current dilemma, wanting to go or stay, everything came like a dream, shattered and finally returned to the cruel reality.

When you return to the city of Tokyo, do you see the land of Hebei falling under the iron cavalry of the Jurchens, and the people are displaced and displaced?

Yue Fei once had a fantasy, hoping that this was just a temporary heat of the imperial court, just like in the first year of Jingkang, the imperial court ordered the three northern towns to be ceded, and in the end, it was not a retraction.

"The size of the land of Hebei cannot be abandoned, now a move, this place is not mine, he wants to take it again in the future, and he has to donate hundreds of thousands of people to get it. The imperial court did this, and not only did the daimyo's mansion fall into the hands of the Jinren, but even the city of Tokyo lost the northern barrier. Hebei is in danger, the Great Song Dynasty is in danger, and the world is in danger. ”

Yue Fei muttered to himself, his eyes glazed, and two lines of tears fell.

"Pengju, the holy order cannot be violated. If you stay, it will be like rebellion, so you should leave early and go south. ”

Chen Guang stood at the bottom of the hall, his eyes sunken and his face emaciated. The officers around him, all of them were lost and depressed, and the six gods had no master.

Yue Fei raised his head with a gloomy expression.

The land of Hebei fell. I'm afraid that the land of the Central Plains will also be precarious. Could it be that the imperial court really wants to retreat again and again, living south of Huaishui or the Yangtze River?

In the Daimyo Mansion, there were less than 30,000 soldiers guarding the city, except for five or six thousand veterans of the original loyal and righteous army, the others were local van troops and township soldiers. If you want to fight against the Jin people, I am afraid it will be even more difficult

Zhang Jun had already led some of the generals and officials to leave in advance, and Yue Fei was the queen of the palace, leading the remaining soldiers and their families to leave.

If he led the army to evacuate the Daimyo's Mansion, I don't know how the Jin people would deal with the soldiers and three or four hundred thousand people in the city?

If you defend the city for two or three months, I am afraid it will not be a problem. It's just that in this way, how can he explain to the imperial court. The lone army hangs in the land of Hebei, if there is no grain and grass from the south, sooner or later it will be attacked by the Jin.

Leaving at this time may save some people. If the Jin people break the city, there will be hundreds of thousands of casualties.

The two rivers are already full of holes and rotten. The land of the Jin people ravaged Shandong was already on the verge of Gyeonggi. The officials and troops of the Great Song Dynasty were weak, and the Jin people were afraid that they would soon attack Lianghuai.

How can a mere Beijing Daimyo Mansion resist the siege of the Jurchens from thousands of troops and horses from all directions?

"Fifth brother, what are you going to do, you have to have an idea!"

Xu Qing still didn't give up, he wanted to make a final effort, hoping that Yue Fei would change his mind and cut off the territory on the spot.

"Wang Gui, you have already negotiated with the Jin people, did they promise to treat the people in the city well?"

Yue Fei didn't answer Xu Qing, but turned to Wang Gui on the side.

"Fifth brother, Wanyan Zongfu has already promised, as long as the people in the city do not resist, he will never hurt anyone. The fifth brother can rest assured. ”

"Fifth brother, the eldest husband chooses the situation to move, the so-called current situation creates heroes, once you miss it, I am afraid you will regret it. In the land of two rivers, there are many heroes, and in the city of the Daimyo's mansion, the soldiers use their lives and unite as one. The time will never come, and the opportunity will not come. Fifth brother, you have to think twice. ”

"You, you have to talk nonsense again!"

Yue Fei resolutely interrupted Xu Qing's words and scolded sharply:

"I, Yue Feisheng, am a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am a ghost of the Great Song Dynasty when I die! This is the will of the imperial court, and I can't obey it. Do you have to let me go my own way and be unfaithful?

Righteous man!"

Xu Qing and the others stopped talking, and Yue Fei said loudly:

"Immediately go down to straighten out the team and arrange the family vehicles. Assemble early tomorrow morning in the west of the city, and leave by water through the arrangement of the ships of the Imperial Court's Cao Yun Division. ”

Everyone left, and Yue Fei sat alone in the hall, frowning.

"Commander Yue, the ship has already been arranged, and your subordinates will be able to board and leave early tomorrow morning."

Guo Yong, the transfer envoy of Hebei Road, walked in, said a word to Yue Fei, and then sat down on the side.

"Yue Tong, in this famous mansion city, there are three or four hundred thousand people of the Great Song Dynasty, you can't bear to leave them? The Jin people are cruel and tyrannical, if they enter the city, and the people don't know how many deaths and injuries they will have, will Yue Tong bear to leave? If you defend the city, with the ability to control Yue, you will be able to defend it for a year and a half. Can't you sacrifice your own selfish for the sake of the people? When the time comes, the heroes will come to vote, and the three armies will die, and the Daimyo Mansion will be impregnable and will not fall into the hands of the Jin people, so why won't Yue Commander stay? ”

Guo Yong's almost merciless interrogation made Yue Fei's face turn red, and he was speechless. The imperial court has already made a decree, and if it is based on the city, it is a rebellion. If the city is handed over, the Jin people will be cruel, and the plight of the people in the city can be imagined.

If it is based on the city, once the accounts are settled after the autumn, and the court will be held accountable, who will bear this responsibility?

"I don't know what the palace marshal is going to do, is he going south with Zaixia?"

"Guo was born in this famous mansion, and his relatives and friends are here, how can he give it up? Once the Yue Commander leaves, the official will lead the rest of the men and horses to continue to defend it. Even if you die, you will die in this mulberry land. ”

Yue Fei's face was pale, and he bowed solemnly: "The palace marshal is loyal and courageous, benevolent and brave, Yue admires it so much!"

"Yue Tong, someone handed over a letter, saying that it was your old man."

The soldier came in and presented a letter.

Yue Feihu was suspicious, opened the letter, read a few lines, and sweated profusely, as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of the sweat! Xianggong, compared to you, I, Yue Fei, am ashamed of myself! ”

Yue Yun walked in gently, and he asked timidly, "Dad, I heard that Wang Xianggong is still alive, is this true?"

Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Brother Yun, how do you know, it seems that you have heard everything."

Seeing his father, who was usually silent and not angry, his eyebrows fluttered, and Yue Yun became bold.

"Dad, according to the child's opinion, it is better for Dad to stay and guard Hebei with Wang Xianggong to fight against the Jin people. The official family doesn't even want Hebei and Hedong, so it can be seen that he is not a good person. Why should Daddy work for them?"

Yue Fei's heart was shocked, he looked at his son, shook his head, and said with a straight face: "Brother Yun, it is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country and share the worries of the court. The Jin people were tyrannical, and the court had no choice. In the future, if there is an opportunity, the imperial court will definitely go north, recover the lost land, and rescue the people. ”

Seeing his father's face become serious, Yue Yun consciously closed his mouth. He wanted his father to work with Wang Song to kill the prestige of the Jin people.

There was a sound in the front yard, and Wang Gui and others pushed the door in.

As soon as Wang Gui met, he asked anxiously: "Fifth brother, I heard that the envoy of the Loyal and Righteous Army is coming, yes or no?" I heard that Wang Song is still alive, but is this serious?"

Xu Qing shook his head and said gloomily: "Fifth brother, you missed a great opportunity. As soon as Wang Xianggong returned, the two rivers were about to surge again. ”

Wang Song appeared, and it was impossible to push Yue Fei to stand on his own. Xu Qing's thoughts were also completely frustrated, no wonder his expression was gloomy.

Chen Guang smiled bitterly: "Zhang Jun is going south, and we have to return to Zong Ze's tent again, coming and going, it is not as good as the original king."

Xiang Gong's hands are comfortable. What a vastness! ”

Zhao Bangjie stepped forward, hugged his fists, and said softly:

"Yue Dutong, since the prince is back, let's stay in this daimyo's mansion and have a bloody battle with Fanzi, what do you think?"

He and Ma Kuo are close friends, and the two voted for Wang Song together. When Wang Song came back, Ma Kuo would definitely follow him, and he seemed to have no reason to leave.

The faces of the generals in the room are different, and everyone has their own thoughts.

Yue Fei looked at the generals with different expressions, and was secretly frightened. It seems that tonight, many people are going to have another sleepless night.

"This is a handwritten letter from the prince to his subordinates?"

Guo Yong looked surprised, trembled his hands, and opened the letter.

"Wang Xianggong knew that Guo Ti was loyal and brave, and did not avoid the powerful. Guo Tixing is also a transshipment envoy, holding the right to dispatch hundreds of ships on the river. Wang Xianggong sent a villain to visit Guo Tixing to discuss the plan and fight against the Jin people. ”

Guo Yong put away the letter, and felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.

Speaking of which, he and Wang Song's experiences are similar. Both of them are martial artists, but he relied on the blessing of his ancestors to join the company. He is also well-read, well-versed in the past and present, boasting of his erudition, and has always looked down on the scholars and doctors in the court.

And Wang Song is the same, he was born in a poor family, but he can write poems in seven steps, "A group of people are jealous, scattered into mud and dust, only fragrant as before", this kind of sentiment also spoke to his heart, making him feel quite a confidant.

Don't you know, Wang Song knew that he was a person who guarded the Daimyo's Mansion in history and vowed not to reduce the gold, and in the end the whole family was killed by the Jin people, and he was also killed by the Jin people.

After his death, even those who had always been at odds with him wept bitterly. They fought with each other to carry his coffin for burial. Such a loyal martyr will naturally not reduce the gold, and he is definitely a good partner to work with.

"The previous time the prince rescued the Daimyo's mansion, but he never entered the city, this official is a pity."

Guo Yong said regretfully: "I also bothered the two of you to tell me what the plan is, and I will do my best to never shirk the blame!"

If Wang Song repelled the Jin people and rescued the Daimyo's Mansion, he would also die without regrets, worthy of his father in Hebei. Wang Song was stationed in the Daimyo's mansion, and there was hope for Hebei.

The envoy smiled lightly and said in a low voice: "Guo Dianshuai has mastered the Cao transport boat, and the Jurchens have set up camp near the river, and the Xianggong wants to use the power of the water to conquer the Jurchen camp in one fell swoop!"

The Jurchens went south to attack the city and pull out the village, and the only thing that was still smooth was the canal and the Yellow River waterway. The Jurchens did not have many ships in Hebei, and compared with the more than 200 ships of the Daimyo's Mansion, their strength was far inferior.

Guo Yong was overjoyed and said: "What is the plan, please let me know them one by one, and the two of us can also study in detail, check and fill in the gaps, and live up to the trust of the prince!"

In Dong Xian's room, Niu Tong, Zhang Sheng and others glanced at each other, and everyone saw the ecstasy in each other's eyes.

Wang Song is coming to the Daimyo's Mansion!

Just as the hungry and thirsty people in the desert found an oasis, the hungry found a pot of hot rice, the penniless poor found endless treasures, and the dwarf poor married several Bai Fumei at the same time in one day, Niu Tong, Dong Xian and Zhang Sheng all laughed.

"When Xianggong Wang comes, Yue Fei will always stay, right?"

Niu Tong suddenly said such a sentence.

"That's hard to say! Don't forget, on the back of Yue Dutong, there are engraved the words "serve the country with loyalty", this "country" is the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Several people looked at each other, all shaking their heads and sighing.

Soon, several people were perked up again.

"Wang Xianggong waved his troops to come, this famous mansion is my loyal army!"

"Not only the Daimyo's Mansion, but these two rivers are ours!"
