Chapter 048: Chilling
Hebei Daimyo's Mansion, above the city wall, starry lights, cold winter wax moon, the temperature is already below zero. Looking from the city wall, there is a vast space between heaven and earth, and the loneliness is terrifying.
On the city wall, Yang Hu was holding a spear, rubbing his hands, and stomping his feet vigorously to relieve the numbness in his feet.
"Yang Hu, I heard that there were several bloody battles in Tokyo City, and Fanzi suffered heavy casualties, and I don't know if it's true or not?"
Li Bo on the side also rubbed his hands and swayed, moving his body and legs to prevent them from stiffening.
Outside the city of the Daimyo's Mansion, you can see the Jurchen rangers roaring past from time to time, many hundreds, and only a few people, they gallop vertically and horizontally, regardless of the Song soldiers on the city.
"These dogs are not afraid of the cold, they are really like beasts!"
Li Bo scolded fiercely, and under the fire in the city, he could see frostbite on his hands and face, and it was obviously extremely cold.
"The city of Tokyo was in full swing, and Wang Tiegun's men were also heavily wounded, and more than 100,000 people in the city froze to death and starved to death. The city of Tokyo is fighting so badly, but we are shrinking turtles here, this His Royal Highness King Kang, I don't know what he thinks?"
Li Bo's words made Yang Hu shake his head vigorously.
"Who knows, there are more than 100,000 troops in the city of the Daimyo's Mansion, how can it be enough for the Jurchens to drink a pot! This prince is really unplanted, his parents, family, brothers and sisters don't care, it's really ruthless!"
"Shameless enough!"
Li Bo shook his head disdainfully, and then lowered his voice.
"I heard that the old general Zongze took 10,000 horses and fought several big battles with Fanzi, but there were too few people and horses, and he couldn't cross the Yellow River!"
Li Bo said angrily: "Our King Kang, with more than 100,000 horses under his command, nested in this city, is not as good as the old general of the sect, it is really shameless!" From the Daimyo's Mansion to Tokyo City, the navy went south, and it arrived in one day, I really don't know, this prince was born by his father?"
"The prodigal who rolled out of the pile of fat powder, there is still a trace of blood there!"
Yang Hu shook his head and said: "If you want to say that the most powerful thing is still the Wang Tiegun, who led a group of township soldiers, and finally entered Tokyo City, I heard that he also killed the second prince of Fanzi, not to mention how majestic it is!"
Li Bo nodded and said: "You are right, now that the siege of Tokyo is not so tight, and the news inside can also be spread, I am afraid that our King Kang will soon enter King Jingqin."
"Just him?"
Yang Hu shook his head and said disdainfully: "If he was going to go, he would have gone a long time ago, so why wait until today?" According to me, he is timid and afraid of death, and he also wants to be an emperor. You don't look at his side, Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan, in addition to talking about poetry and lyrics, they just don't persuade the prince to go south to the king. Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by! ”
Footsteps sounded, a majestic officer came up to the city, several Song soldiers carried several large jars of wine to follow, the officer waved his hand, signaling to divide the wine he brought.
"Brothers, you can only drink two sips per person to warm your body! Don't drink too much, once you fall asleep, the fan will attack, and you will lose your life at that time!"
Yang Hu couldn't help but laugh, and said loudly: "General Meng, don't worry, the brothers will definitely not make a mistake!"
The Jurchen army has gone to Tokyo City, who cares about the Daimyo's mansion, and there is a siege there, what is there to defend?
General Meng looked at Li Bo who was standing solemnly next to him, nodded and asked, "Li Bo, the weather is so cold, can you still stand it?"
Li Bo hurriedly nodded and said loudly: "General Meng, don't worry, Fanzi is not terrible, kill Fanzi, and the villain also has strength in his hands!"
"That's not what you asked."
General Meng shook his head and said helplessly: "A few of you are aggrieved, Lao Tzu is not the same!" Lao Tzu's family is in Tokyo City. However, with the king's iron spear there, you don't have to worry!"
Li Bo stepped forward and said in a low voice: "General, how did you come up on such a cold day?" Rest assured that the walls are guarded by the brethren! Give him ten guts, and he won't be able to attack it!"
Yang Hu also complained: "Fanzi has gone to Tokyo City, who still cares about here?" General, haven't you noticed that these days, there are a lot fewer fans outside the city? ”
General Meng nodded, sighed, patted Yang Hu's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, it's hard work. However, if His Royal Highness King Kang does not send troops, we are helpless. People don't even care about their own Lao Tzu and Lao Niang, what can we do?"
He pointed to a spot in the castle of the Daimyo's mansion, and his head shook like a rattle.
"Since coming to Hebei, it has been more than a month now, and it will be the first day soon, and this prince has been going around and around, trying to avoid the army of Fanzi. If it weren't for the fact that the Jurchens who besieged the Daimyo's Mansion had gone to Tokyo City these days, he wouldn't have come to the Daimyo's Mansion. ”
Li Bo sneered: "Wang Tiegun is struggling to support in Tokyo City, our brothers are frozen and defending the city here, this prince is a good wine and food, beautiful people singing and dancing, it is really very free!"
"Don't talk nonsense, you're dead!"
General Meng hurriedly looked around and immediately sank his face.
"Don't blame me for not reminding me, if anyone loses their head because of this, don't blame Lao Tzu!"
General Meng led people away, and Li Bo and Yang Hu were relatively silent. Shangguan is so mediocre that he doesn't know if this Tokyo city can hold on.
In the Ban Rui Hall in the city of the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhao Gou and a group of staff, and his subordinates were staying in the main hall of the main hall, with different thoughts.
The charcoal fire in the main hall is blazing, warm as spring, and the fragrance of tea leaves and the mellow aroma of fine wine are mixed together, but it makes people have an indescribable awkwardness.
Although there is good wine here, there is no food, there are beautiful women, but there is no singing and dancing.
However, compared to the freezing and freezing on the city walls, the freezing and biting cold, especially the continuous freezing and starvation of the city of Tokyo, this is already a paradise on earth.
Zhao Gou sat on the top of the main hall, his handsome face was reflected by the firelight, his brows were tightly locked, and he didn't know what he was worried about.
Geng Nanzhong glanced at Wang Boyan, the governor of Xiangzhou, coughed softly, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, where to go now, Your Highness still needs to have an idea."
The emperor of the Song Emperor disappeared as soon as he left the city of Tokyo, and kept silent about Zhao Gou's visit to the city of Tokyo, and he didn't know who was the Son of Heaven in his mind, and the court and the hundreds of thousands of people in Tokyo City were more important than his personal life.
Zhao Gou built the Generalissimo's Mansion in Hebei, and Huang Qianshan, who was the prefect of Hejian Mansion at the time, was the deputy marshal.
And another deputy marshal Xiangzhou Zhizhou Wang Boyan, personally welcomed Zhao Gou on the north bank of the Yellow River, and had already foreseen the inevitable fall of Tokyo City, this gentleman repeatedly prevented Zhao Gou, who was already afraid of gold like a tiger, from going to Tokyo City, and was unwilling to send troops to Zong Ze to rescue Tokyo City, and the speculative heart was already obvious.
The people in the hall have different thoughts, and the exquisite egoists gather together, which can be described as a group of bright stars, a hill of raccoon dogs.
"Your Highness, although there is a martial artist like Wang Song in Tokyo City, the inside and outside of the city have long been isolated, and there is no way to supply food and charcoal, and the fall of Tokyo City is inevitable. His Royal Highness is a royal responsibility, and he must not act recklessly, but he will be killed by the golden people!"
As soon as Huang Qianshan's voice fell, Wang Boyan also bowed and said: "Your Highness, what Huang Xianggong said is very true, the golden people are powerful, and Your Highness must not be in danger." The ancients said: A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and His Royal Highness's body of ten thousand gold is more suitable for Taoguang to maintain obscurity, and he must not lose his proportion. ”
Once the city of Tokyo falls, Zhao Gou is the lord of the world, they are also the ministers of the dragon, glory and wealth, and the wives and sons are all tied to Zhao Gou, how can this strange person easily get into danger?
"What the princes say is very true."
The young Zhao Gou finally spoke, and his words were quite sincere.
"The Jin people are like wolves and tigers, and when they are broken, the officers and soldiers are indeed vulnerable. This king wants to go to Tokyo City alone, rescue my Song Emperor, parents, brothers and sisters, and save millions of people in Tokyo City, but this move is tantamount to a moth to a fire, which is not beneficial to the overall situation. This king is really anxious and in pain! ”
As he spoke, tears flowed down his face, clearly sad and emotional.
The few people next to him looked at each other and separated.
Zhao Gou pointed to a document on the desk in front of him and wiped his tears.
This is a general named Yue Fei in the army, his words are sincere, his feelings are sincere, and he hopes that the king will lead his troops south to the king of Tokyo City. This king is also in a dilemma, and it is difficult to choose. ”
Huang Qianshan took the book and opened it suspiciously.
"His Royal Highness has more than 100,000 people under his command, and the division of King Qin is gathering every day, and the other side is said to be weak, and it is advisable to take advantage of its slackness. Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan could not promise to recover, and the siege of Tokyo was difficult to solve. The villain wishes His Royal Highness to personally lead the army to the south, then the morale will be high, the city of Tokyo will be worry-free, and the court will be worry-free......"
After reading it, Wang Boyan said angrily: "A little rough man in the army dares to overstep his duties, slander the minister, and collide with His Highness, which is not appropriate."
Huang Qianshan also blushed, and said sharply: "Your Highness is worry-free, the subordinate will definitely remove this person from his military position and military status, and expel him from the military camp to set an example!"
Zhao Gou waved his hand and said softly: "This matter will be handled by Huang Xianggong and Wang Xianggong, this king does not want to complain in the army, the army is unstable, the two of you must be cautious."
Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan knew it, and stepped forward together and said, "Your Highness can rest assured!"
At this time, whoever dares to go against the two of them is to eat the leopard's gall and take the blame. This kind of person is just expelled from the barracks, which is already cheap for him.
Zhao Gou stood up and said softly: "Everyone, go down, clean up the military horses and prevent the sergeants from mutiny." This king will go back and pray for the blessings of his parents, for his official family, and for the people of Tokyo. ”
Geng Nanzhong and Wang Boyan bowed together and said: "Your Highness is benevolent and filial, and the ministers know it."
Zhao Gou left, Huang Qianshan called his subordinates, and said angrily: "Go down and investigate this Yue Fei thoroughly, and expel him from the barracks immediately." Anyone who complains in the army will be dismissed from his post and investigated!"
Zhao Gou returned to the back hall, and several beautiful women with shy eyebrows who had been waiting for a long time greeted him, and several people stepped forward together to untie Zhao Gou's wide clothes.
"Your Highness has worked hard all day, and it's time to rest!"
Zhao Gou nodded slightly, watched the two women in front of him fade away, one in each hand, hugged him into his arms, and went straight to the couch.
As the woman's shyness and wheezing sounded, Zhao Gou felt a complete relaxation. It is only in the soft body of a woman that he can escape the fear of reality and lose himself.
