Regret!

When Taiyuan City was broken that day, why didn't you die with Wang Yu?

In the official residence in the southern city of Jinan Prefecture, Zhang Xiaochun, who is nearly fifty years old, is drinking alone in the room, sighing for a long time.

In the last years of Xuanhe, Zhang Xiaochun was the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu and the governor of Taiyuan Mansion. The Jin army was defeated and went south, and the heavy troops besieged Taiyuan, Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu, the deputy governor of the capital, led the army and the people to hold on for more than a year, and refused to surrender to Jin. In the first year of Jingkang, the city of Taiyuan was broken, Wang Yu died in battle, he was captured and refused to surrender, and was imprisoned in the clouds, and then had to reduce the gold. After four years, Jin Ren established Liu Yu as the emperor of Great Qi, established a puppet Qi regime, and Zhang Xiaochun was appointed prime minister.

Liu Yu bent his knees to invest in gold, perversely, aided in abuse, and was willing to be a pawn of the Jurchens, and was listed at the top of the traitor list by the Song newspapers.

Speaking of which, it was not that the Song people showed mercy to his subordinates, and everyone in the Song Dynasty sneered at him, eager to kill him to thank the world. On the contrary, Wang Song was quite sympathetic to his situation, and made a big show in the newspaper, saying a few fair words for him, which made him feel guilty.

Speaking of which, although he is an image of pseudo-Qi, he is only limited to civil affairs and military affairs, and he rarely mixes it. Although he also provided some valuable information to the Great Song court, he did not receive any reply from the other party.

As for the loyal and righteous army, it is invincible, invincible, and prosperous, so naturally he doesn't need to draw snakes.

Zhang Xiaochun smiled bitterly and shook his head. The Great Song Dynasty court, which he was dedicated to Zhengshuo, abandoned him as if he were doing it, and it seemed that he and the court had broken off their righteousness.

Having said that, he has a big loss after all. How to record the history of the generals, I am afraid that it is a pseudo-Qi traitor, greedy for life and afraid of death.

He was depressed and restless all the time, and he was preoccupied all the year round, which also made him look older and haggard, and his temples were already covered with frost.

"But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death, and the pity happened in vain. Zhang Xiaochun, Zhang Xiaochun, who are you sad for, and where do you still have a famous festival!"

A glass of spicy wine entered his throat, Zhang Xiaochun was choked and coughed, his eyes full of tears.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Xun pushed the door in, saw that his father was coughing, and hurriedly stepped forward and gently helped his father lift his back.

"Out of the way, out of the way."

Zhang Xiaochun secretly wiped away his tears and raised his head.

"San Lang, what's the military situation outside?"

"Back to my father, the battle report just came from the army, the loyal and righteous army has broken through Dongping Mansion, and I think that the troops will come to the city in the next few days."

Zhang Xiaochun nodded lightly, and drank another glass of wine.

"Within a month, Yunzhou, Yanzhou, and Mizhou have been conquered, and the sea route has been cut off, and I'm afraid that this Jinan Mansion will not be able to support it for a few days."

Although I know that there will be such a day sooner or later, when the end comes, everyone is still inexplicably unwilling.

Especially a former Song Dynasty official like Zhang Xiaochun, who has a stain on his body, the panic in his heart can be imagined. Even if Wang Song could forgive him, the Great Song Dynasty, which was the supreme in his heart, would never have a good face for him.

"Father, where to go, we have to make a plan."

Zhang Xun said softly on the side.

"Liu Yu's qi is exhausted, and our father and son may not be able to escape. There is a big loss, and the crime of traitor cannot be washed away. ”

He suddenly looked up and asked.

"San Lang, where is your eldest brother now, is there any news of him?"

Zhang Xiaochun has three sons, one is the third son Zhang Xun in front of him, and the other is also the second son Zhang Ying, who is an official in the pseudo-Qi.

As for his eldest son, it is the famous Zhang Hao. When Wang Song was in Hedong that day, he received some assistance from this person.

"The eldest brother came to receive a letter from Yue, saying that he was an official under Wang Song's rule, and although his official position was low, he was comfortable and could do something for the people."

Zhang Xiaochun

Nodding his head, he said with relief:

"That's good, that's good! As long as your eldest brother is comfortable, Dad will be relieved. ”

The loyal and righteous army is now in full swing, and Lianghe, Shaanxi, Henan, and Huaibei are all in its hands. In a few days, this Shandong is also in the pocket of the loyal and righteous army. The son follows Wang Song, and he has a bright future.

As for the Great Song Dynasty, it is long gone, not to mention the loss of the north of the Huai River, even the south of the Yangtze River is also a swarm of thieves, and it is a mess. Yang Qi of Jinghu has already occupied Hunan and Jiangxi, and is about to invade Jiangning Mansion.

"By the way, the news that your eldest brother is an official in Lianghe must not be spread, once Liu Yuyu and these people know, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to you and my father and son, and also to your eldest brother."

After Zhang Xiaochun finished speaking, he shook his head lightly and said with a wry smile: "It's not a big deal, anyway, this Jinan Mansion is just around the corner, let him go."

Zhang Xun nodded yes. Liu Yu is tyrannical and moody, once he knows about his eldest brother, he will inevitably use the topic to play.

"Didn't the Jurchens send reinforcements?"

Zhang Xiaochun was slightly surprised, with the courage and good fighting of the Jurchen army, he actually sat back and watched the destruction of the pseudo-Qi, which shows the power of the loyal and righteous army.

"In the first battle of Shaanxi, the Jurchens suffered heavy casualties, and I heard that Tiefutu was also destroyed by the loyal army. There is no news this time, I'm afraid I can't do it!"

Zhang Xun's face was inexplicably a little excited.

It is an exciting thing to make the tyrannical and murderous Jurchens deflated, no matter what.

The Loyal and Righteous Army was unstoppable, and the Jurchens began to decline, eliminating the advantages of one and the other, and the situation developed in favor of the Loyal and Righteous Army. Perhaps in the near future, Wang Song will ascend to Dabao, and a new Central Plains regime will rise.

A hint of a smile appeared on his son's face, which inexplicably made Zhang Xiaochun a little unhappy.

"The catastrophe is coming, you are still here to rejoice for the loyal army, think about you and my father and son first."

Zhang Xun quickly put away the joy on his face, he thought for a while, and said softly.

"Father, the good minister chooses the master, the child knows some generals on the city gate, we might as well sneak out of the city and join the loyal army, my father thinks it's ......"

Zhang Hun did not finish speaking, and was interrupted by Zhang Xiaochun.

"In the first year of Jingkang, you and my father and son voted for the Jurchens, and now, you and my father and son are going to join the loyal and righteous army, aren't we becoming slaves with three surnames, and how do people in the world view you and my father and son. This must not be done!"

Zhang Xun couldn't help but smile wryly. My father still remembered the Great Song Dynasty, but I didn't know that the other party was disdainful of my father.

"Father, history has its own posterity. You and my father and son voted for the loyal and righteous army, in the future, Wang Song's soldiers will come to the world, and the Great Song Dynasty will perish, who will still remember you and my father and son, and who will still remember the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhang Xiaochun was deflated all of a sudden, and he was about to raise his glass to drink, but he was taken away by his son.

"Xianggong, Yanei, there are guests visiting."

The subordinate came in and reported it, followed by a man in black clothes and a black hat, covering his face.

"Zhang Wu, didn't you say it, you don't see anyone, you ......"

Zhang Xiaochun's words were stuck in his neck, and the man in black had already taken off his hat, revealing a face that made him dumbfounded and stayed there.

"Big brother, why are you here?"

Zhang Xun was extremely excited, and stepped forward and hugged his brother.

"Zhang Wu, you are watching from the door, no one is allowed to come in without my permission!"

Zhang Xiaochun said to his subordinates.

When the subordinates withdrew, Zhang Hao stepped forward and knelt down, choked up and said, "Father, I haven't seen you for many years, the child has kowtowed to you!"

Zhang Xiaochun also burst into tears, hurriedly stepped forward and helped his son.

"Da Lang, are you okay?"

The father and son sat down, and Zhang Hao calmed down before he began to speak.

"When I was a child

The child rescued Taiyuan, and was defeated by the gold thief Wanyan Yinshu, and the child was also demoted. Later, the father was plundered by the Jin, and the court wanted to send the child to Qiongzhou, but the child got the news and escaped overnight. Later, the court moved south, and the prince rose up, and the child served under him. ”

Zhang Xiaochun nodded again and again, and said apologetically: "Da Lang, it's your father who has affected you."

Zhang Hun Hu said suspiciously: "Big brother, you are here this time, you can't be sent by the prince of the king, right?"

Zhang Xiaochun was shocked, and his eyes were also fixed on the son in front of him.

"Father, third brother, it wasn't Wang Xianggong who sent me, but I begged Wang Xianggong myself, and he allowed me to go with the army."

Zhang Hao straightened up and bowed: "Father, for the sake of the family, please descend the prince and protect the Zhang family!"

Zhang Hao's words made Zhang Xiaochun fall silent all of a sudden, and there was silence in the room.

After a while, Zhang Xiaochun stood up, walked around the room a few times, and suddenly stopped.

"My Zhang family, gifts, wealth and nobility all come from the Great Song Dynasty, I Zhang Xiaochun can't save the country, worry about the monarch, but lose himself to the barbarians, failed to fulfill the responsibility of the ministers, ashamed of the court, a hundred deaths can not be redeemed, how can I now cast under Wang Song's account, is not a slave with three surnames!"

He laughed coldly: "I think that Wang Song is just a military general in the imperial court, but now he commands the world." If I vote for him, won't I make a mistake on top of a mistake, and I will be ashamed of the people of the world!"

He sighed faintly.

"If I knew that there was today's humiliation, I should have died in Taiyuan City! I hate it! ”

Zhang Hao and Zhang Hun looked at each other, looking at their father in the room incredulously.

He sat back in his chair and looked up at his son in front of him for a long time before he looked at his son with doubts in his eyes.

"Da Lang, even if his father wants to join the Loyal and Righteous Army, how can our family go out, isn't it that you and San Lang have already talked about it, or do you have another hidden story?"

Seeing his father's heartbeat, Zhang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Father, if you have made up your mind, the child only needs to inform the army. There must be other people doing things, and the child doesn't know about it at this time. ”

Zhang Hun also stepped forward and said: "Father, as long as you agree, let's sneak out of the city, and there is no need for the help of the loyal army to help in this matter, the child can arrange it."

Seeing that his son was already moved, Zhang Xiaochun couldn't help but sigh secretly.

"Since you are already going to join the Loyal Righteous Army, why bother going out of the city, just wait in the mansion, maybe we can do something to help the Loyal Righteous Army enter the city."

Although he is unwilling to join the loyal army, this does not mean that Zhang Xiaochun has any loyalty to the pseudo-Qi and Liu Yu. On the contrary, she has an unspeakable disgust for the puppet regime that has ruined him.

In the final analysis, Pseudo-Qi is the minions of the Jurchens, the slave of the barbarians, and how can it be the Celestial Dynasty where he Zhang Xiaochun works!

"Father, Wang Xianggong has already said that if you want, you can go to a place as an official, preach and educate, if you want to return to the countryside, he will not be reluctant."

Zhang Hao was still afraid that his father would not have a bottom in his heart, so he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded softly.

Zhang Xun knew his father's stubbornness, but he knew that his father would not gamble with the lives of the family. Besides, even if his father really went to the Great Song Dynasty, the other party would not accept it.

"Father, good ministers choose the main thing, whether it is the Great Song Dynasty or Wang Song, they are the Central Plains Dynasty where my Han people are in charge. Moreover, Wang Song treated the people of the world well, and the Great Song Dynasty was stunned, losing the face of the Han people and being spurned by the people. Where to go, my father still needs to think carefully. ”

Zhang Xiaochun's face turned red, and he said angrily:

"San Lang, are you teaching me how to sit on people?"

Zhang Hun stepped forward and blamed himself again and again, and Zhang Xiaochun's face finally eased.

"If you want to join the loyal army and keep the glory and wealth of the Zhang family, how can you leave empty-handed!"

Zhang Hao stepped forward and bowed solemnly: "Please also ask the father to introduce you, and the child can act according to the plan."
