Chapter 088: Sending troops

"Good boy, don't be a parent, just for the common people, not for the Lord.

Holding a steel knife of ninety-nine, kill all Hu Erfang and stop.

I am a dignified man, what is a Tartar as a horse and a cow?

The strong man drank the wine in the bowl, and did not look back on the journey of a thousand miles.

The golden drums roared in unison, and the yellow dragon swore endlessly. ”

In the front row of the big array, the cavalry was in the middle, and Zhao Yuanlong, who was slowly moving forward, also sang a military song in his mouth, and the impassioned heart was naturally extraordinary.

The cold shining iron armor, such as the spear of the forest, the banner is waving, the iron horse is like a wall, the car is like a flowing water and the horse is like a dragon, looking from afar, the long line is winding, I don't know how much.

The officers and men of the Loyal and Righteous Army had solemn faces, sang military songs in their mouths, and walked all the way north along the official road.

On both sides of the official road, the people held bowls and basins in their hands, which contained steamed cakes, eggs, fruits and other things, and stuffed them into the hands of the loyal and righteous soldiers along the way, and the ranks of the soldiers suddenly became a little chaotic.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the soldiers are coming, prepare the baked cakes, and they will be uncovered as soon as they arrive!"

On the side of the official road, the shopkeeper Zhang arranged for the family to lift the steamer and put it on several tables one by one, while looking at the soldiers who were about to come.

"Shopkeeper Zhang, why didn't I see you being so concerned about the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, they are the authentic forbidden army of the imperial court!"

The celebrant on the other side joked that the table in front of him was full of pomegranates, apples, grapes and other fruits, which were worth at least dozens of dollars.

Shopkeeper Zhang wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said disdainfully: "Just those "Ya Nei soldiers", as soon as Fanzi comes, he will run away, and he still wants to eat my baked cakes, so let's dream." People are loyal to the righteous army, the military discipline is strict, and they are really fighting, this thing is given to them, and my old man is comfortable. ”

He shouted loudly to the surroundings: "One lost Hedong, the other recovered Taiyuan, and most of Hedong." Folks, you say, whose credit is this!"

"Loyalty!"

The people around them laughed and shouted loudly.

"It's the Loyal Army!"

Zhu Yuanwai nodded and said: "Since the loyal army is stationed here, the bandits and thieves around have been cleaned up by them, and the soldiers and ruffians in the city have also stopped. Wang Xianggong led his troops to recover Taiyuan, and it seems that Hebei is almost over!"

"Lao Zhu, what you said is good!"

Shopkeeper Zhang laughed and said: "Wang Xianggong is a living Bodhisattva, just look at the soldiers under him." No wonder you always wish this miser, and you have also taken out so many fruits, I'm afraid you are reluctant to eat it!"

Zhu Yuanwai told him what was in his heart, his face was slightly red, and he said embarrassedly: "Shopkeeper Zhang doesn't know anything." The fans are all fierce and vicious, like wolves and tigers, passing through the city, the old man I am scared half to death. Hebei Province can be ruined by them. I thought I was in a catastrophe, but I didn't know that Wang Xianggong killed thieves in Tokyo, and Hebei gained this moment of peace. Speaking of which, I have to thank Wang Xianggong. ”

"If you don't kill all these fans, they will go south at any time and slaughter our Song people. Wang Xianggong's subordinates are going north, and my old man is naturally duty-bound. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, remembering the tragic situation that was ravaged outside the city when Fanzi went south, everyone had palpitations, and the shopkeeper Zhang also felt the same way.

"I wish the old man what he said is right!"

An old man next to him, sweating profusely and boiling a pot full of sugar water, nodded and said, "The old man's relatives, who fled and died, were all made by Fanzi. These brutes, even children and old people, really deserve to be killed!"

The people next to him nodded one after another, all of them were related, and one of them looked up, and suddenly said loudly: "Hurry up and prepare, the soldiers are coming!"

As soon as the former army of the Loyal and Righteous Army arrived, the people grabbed what they had prepared and stuffed it into their hands and bosoms.

Seeing that the team was a little chaotic, Xu Qing was about to send someone to maintain it, but Yue Fei shook his head and stopped him.

"When the soldiers have received the things of the people, they know for whom they are fighting. Water can carry a boat, it can also capsize a boat, let it be!"

A white-haired old woman, carrying a tattered little boy on her back, stuffed the egg in her hand into Zhao Yunlong's arms, and said tremblingly:

"Petty officials, go to the battlefield, kill more thieves, and give justice to the dead villagers."

Zhao Yunlong's eyes were hot, and a cold heart rolling in the quagmire couldn't help but get hot.

He held the old man's rough and dry hand, and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, wife, I will kill more gold thieves and avenge the dead villagers!"

The old man said in tears: "My mother-in-law's family has been killed by Fanzi, and there is only one grandson left to rely on each other." Mother-in-law thank you for your deceased children and grandchildren. ”

Zhao Yuanlong held back his tears, waved to the old man, hurriedly got on the horse, and rushed forward, for fear that tears would overflow and lose his temper in front of everyone.

"Hey, this little lady, you lost your handkerchief, hurry up and catch it!"

Niu Tong shouted loudly, stopping a young woman who turned around and wanted to leave.

Fifteen or sixteen years old, a slender girl, quite a bit of a beautiful girl, took the handkerchief handed by Niu Tong with a flushed face, turned her head and ran away.

"Niu Tong, are you stupid, the little lady has taken a fancy to you and wants to be a love object, how can you refuse someone in person, so that people can't get off the stage."

Dong Xian shook his head on the side, secretly despised in his heart, this guy is a fool.

This Niu Tong looks big and grinning, heartless, but tall, muscular, and has a Chinese face, which can indeed attract some women.

Niu Tong shook his head and said: "Lao Dong, this is to fight hard with the Jurchens, nine deaths, in case you don't come back, won't it delay others?"

Everyone next to him was stunned, Xu Qing showed a sneer on his face, and snorted lightly in his nose.

Yue Fei nodded and said, "Brother Niu, you will be safe." When you return from victory, you go to someone's little lady's house to propose marriage, don't let down the hard work of others. ”

Dong first looked at Niu Tong, and secretly said in his heart, this Niu Tong looks rough on the outside, but he is as thin as a woman on the inside.

Several low-level generals laughed and teased Niu Tong.

"No need to make a fuss, I want to have more of my little lady!"

Niu Tong shook his head, looked back at him, and followed the crowd forward.

Dong Xian laughed, and then his brows sank. In recent days, there have been many rumors in the army, saying that Wang Xianggong is going to retreat bravely and return to the field, which makes him feel irritated for no reason.

Without Wang Song, can this loyal army still be called a loyal army?

Seeing Yue Fei walking in, Dong Xian waved his hand to stop him from talking.

"Yue Tong is at ease! When the army travels, I will abide by the military order, kill the enemy with my heart, and never let Yue Tong be distracted!"

"Yue rule, this is a state matter, my brother knows the importance. Kill the enemy on the battlefield and take the lead, our brothers will not lose to others! ”

Niu Tong also said loudly immediately, his face solemn.

Yue Fei put his mind at ease. This group of loyal and righteous men, I believe that they will not be hindered, and they will miss the great cause of restoration.

"Yue Zhi, my brothers joined the army, originally to kill Fanzi, and there is no need for others to worry!"

Zhang Sheng said coldly, his words piercing people's hearts.

"The prince protected Tokyo, restored Taiyuan, and made such a great achievement, but he was treated like this by the imperial court, and justice was in the hearts of the people. Commander Yue should ask himself, the prince treats you well, can you treat him so wholeheartedly?"

Yue Fei immediately made a move, his face calm.

"The grace of the prince Wang, Yue Fei remembered it in his heart. The merits will be judged in the future. ”

Hearing the words of Dong Xian and the others, Zhang Jun nodded slightly. These men are still loyal and righteous, and they also let him settle down.

"Yue Dutong, the tiger and wolf division of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army, the elite is like this, this official is here to wish you a victory."

Zhang Jun felt relaxed in his heart, and gently waved at Yue Fei.

"Zhang Xianggong, it's too early to say this. Whether the sergeant is elite or not will not be determined until the battlefield has been fought. ”

Yue Fei's eyebrows were worried. The number of middle- and low-ranking officers in the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army was already small, and some veterans were demoted or dismissed because of their rude behavior or ignorance of big characters.

He also heard that in the army of Xu Qing, Wang Gui, and Chen Guang, many veteran officers of the Loyal and Righteous Army brought by Wang Song were too implicated, and they were either demoted or dismissed, especially excessively. The war relied on the experience of veterans, and such a large group of rookies went into battle, facing the Jurchens who had experienced a hundred battles and were vicious, and he was really a little uneasy in his heart.

As the commander of the first army, Chen Guang beat his horse and walked slowly, and frequently clasped his fists and saluted the people on the side of the road, and his heart was full of emotion.

A martial artist, who eats hundreds of meals, tastes the warmth and coldness of the world, often worries about his livelihood, eats the last meal but does not have the next meal, and relies on the help of the apprentices to get through the embarrassment.

Overnight, he was already a general with thousands of troops and a military attache of the six grades of the imperial court, all of this was like a dream, but it was real.

His family, like Yue Fei, Wang Gui and others, all moved into Xiangzhou City. The backyard is stable, and he can naturally go into battle to kill the enemy with confidence.

"Master Chen, Master Chen, is it really you?"

There were a few young men in the crowd who kept moving forward with the army, and several people kept waving to Chen Guang, shouting excitedly, and the excitement was overflowing.

"Xu Wei, Xu Zhong, why are you here?"

Chen Guang was stunned for a moment, and then recognized that they were all apprentices he taught, and shouted excitedly on the horse.

"Master Chen, a few of us have just returned from other places. Are you going to fight Fanzi, can you bring a few of us?"

Xu Wei was sweaty, mixed in with the crowd, and asked excitedly.

"I'm afraid not."

Chen Guang shook his head and said: "You can go to the camp of the Loyal and Righteous Army outside Xiangzhou City, register as a citizen, and train as a good student, and you will naturally be sent to the front line."

The army rushed forward, and on both sides of the road were the people who saw them off, and the people cried again and again, telling the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy, avenge the Song people, and comfort the dead.

The people's livelihood is suffering, waiting to be fed, eating pot pulp, in order to welcome the king's division, and the hearts of the army can't help but become heavy.

Zhang Jun sat on horseback, his heart was turbulent, but his face did not move. The Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army is so popular with the people, no matter what, Wang Song can't be allowed to be in the front.

Yue Fei's heart was gloomy. The mountains and rivers were broken, the people suffered, and the only way to kill the enemy was to make it difficult to use Yasukuni.

Seeing the Chinese army of Yue Fei, Zhang Jun and others coming, the people cheered and knelt all over the roads and fields, ignoring the mud and dirty water on the ground.

"Long live the loyal and righteous army, and the prince will win!"

"Long live Wang Xianggong!"

"Wang Xianggong is a living Bodhisattva!"

Yue Fei's face was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but look at Zhang Jun next to him.

Dong Xian and Niu Tong glanced at each other, both smiling. Whoever is good to the people will naturally be close to the people.

Zhang Jun, who just wanted to get off the horse to comfort the people, immediately straightened up, and he sat on the horse, his face full of iron.

In the land of the two rivers, it is true that only the loyal and righteous army does not know the court, and only knows the king but does not know the king.

If it goes on like this, it's still worth it!
