Standing on top of the cottage lobby, Wang Song frowned, looking at the burning charcoal fire in front of him, and he was distracted.

Outside the house, the snow was falling, the heaven and the earth were one, all white, and only the loyal soldiers with guns and knives were still cruising in the snow.

Orizuki sat on a chair, bowed her head and roasted the charcoal fire, and was silent alone.

On the other chairs, Zhang Heng, Dong Ping, Zhang Xian, including Li Yanxian and others, were also solemn, and everyone had different thoughts.

Wang Song's thoughts, Zhe Yuexiu guessed eight or nine. While everyone was resting in the cottage, the Jurchen army had already crossed the Yellow River and went straight to Bianjing.

Most of the people were foot soldiers, as well as wounded, and they walked on mountain roads, at most dozens of miles a day. The Jurchen iron horse is vertical and horizontal, and the official road is convenient, hundreds of miles a day.

There are hundreds of thousands of Jurchen people on the east and west roads, and the rebel army is less than 10,000 people, and they are isolated outside Bianjing City, so it is not easy to pass through the area controlled by the heavily blockaded Jurchen Iron Cavalry!

Even if you go to the city of Tokyo, I don't know how many people can be left, what will be the benefit to the great cause of resisting gold?

For example, today's cold and freezing, the people under the mountain have all moved to the mountain pass, which saves trouble. Anyway, the Jurchen army had already crossed the Yellow River, and Wang Song was quiet, and it always took time for the soldiers to rest, the wounded to recover, the people to be resettled, and the earth-shaking thunder to replenish.

"Daguanren, it has been more than a month since the Jurchens crossed the river south. In the villain's opinion, it doesn't matter if this Bianjing City is not saved. Our brothers have worked so hard to accumulate this little bit of family business, if it is cut off like this, is it worth it?"

Dong Ping couldn't bear it anymore and took the lead in speaking. After this bloody battle, the loyal and righteous soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Now, there are so many Western army routs in the army, how can the rabble deal with the Jurchen iron cavalry that dominates the world?

Wang Song's eyes looked at the silent Zhe Yuexiu, even the children of the Zhe family, who had always been killed, remained silent at this time, which showed that the dangers and dangers of the road ahead also made her hesitate.

Even the tens of thousands of elites of the family army did not dare to pick up the sharp edge of the Jurchen Western Road army, just with these thousands of rabble, how could they deal with the hundreds of thousands of Jurchen East and West troops?

"Big official, you have a sincere heart, worry about the country and the people, and the villain admires you so much. However, the enemy is outnumbered, and the general trend is clear at a glance. Where to go, you just have to give the order, the villain and so on have no words!"

Zhang Xian newly joined the Loyal and Righteous Army, and seeing that Wang Song was hesitant, he could only bite the bullet and come out to speak.

"Brother Zhang Xian, everything has to be judged and measured, if you blindly be strong and lose your life in vain, I am afraid it will bring disaster to the loyal army!"

After Zhang Heng finished speaking, he snorted coldly, and regardless of Zhang Xian, who was red-faced, he drank tea alone.

"What kind of goods are those big turbans in the imperial court, the brothers here know in their hearts. Even if we fight back, I'm afraid we won't be happy!"

Dong Ping stood up and pleaded: "Great official, the Son of Heaven is mediocre, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are all incorruptible and shameless people, please don't go to this troubled water again for the sake of thousands of brothers in the cottage!"

Wang Song raised his hand to hold up Dong Ping, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, you are roasting my brother and me on the fire!"

The main generals of the rebel army were mostly opposed to sending troops. In the troubled times, someone who has food is the king of grass, so why bother to go to Tokyo City to join in the fun. Everyone seems to be wise to protect themselves, but in fact, they weigh the pros and cons and are unwilling to take risks.

"Brothers, don't forget, you are a righteous army enshrined by the imperial court. The big officials, the so-called dead lips and cold teeth, if the Jurchens occupy the city of Tokyo, the two rivers are the sphere of influence of the Jin people, and when the time comes, I am afraid that this Taihang Mountain will not be able to stay!"

After a moment of silence, the silence was suddenly broken.

"Besides, now that Brother Deng Shixiong is still in Tokyo City, if we hide here, I'm afraid Brother Deng will curse."

Zheyuexiu's words made Zhang Heng and Dong Ping next to him blush.

The heroes of the three mountains and five mountains licking the blood with their heads, and the heroes of the same spirit on the rivers and lakes, if people know that the men of his loyal army abandoned their brothers in Tokyo City, then they will still have the face to stay on the rivers and lakes in the future.

"Big official, what the little lady said is very true!"

Li Yanxian thought for a long time, and finally spoke.

"The so-called people who are not of my race will have different hearts. If Song Jiang Fangla waits for the country, we and other loyal and righteous people may have a way to live. But Fanzi is not a person who has been educated in China, tyrannical killing, murderous, and cruel. If you stay in the mountains, you will inevitably sit on the empty mountains and have no food and grass. It is advisable for senior officials to make decisions as early as possible, and not to miss major events. ”

Wang Song nodded slightly, Li Yanxian's words were reasonable, and he sent Deng Shixiong to Tokyo City, so he and those subordinates couldn't be left there.

Wang Song's eyes looked at Zhang Heng and Dong Ping, no matter what, he also got the support of these two.

He turned his head and asked in a deep voice, "Two brothers, do you two approve of sending troops?" If you don't want to, you can stay in the cottage, brother, I don't care!"

Zhang Heng and Dong Ping stood up together, hugged their fists together, and said: "It's all up to the dispatch of the big officials!"

Wang Song nodded slightly and said: "Send someone to investigate first, the army has already made preparations, once we find out the truth of the Jinren, we will immediately send troops!"

Zhang Xian stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Daguanren, these brothers of the Western Army, many people are willing to follow Daguanren to the south. However, there are also some people who stand on their own feet and have ill intentions. If this continues, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable. ”

Since these thousands of defeated troops went up the mountain, not only the food supply on the mountain has become increasingly tight, but even the military discipline of the righteous army has been affected.

"They are all Song people, if they kill each other and are not handled properly, it will inevitably cause turmoil and even mutiny. Great officials, you have to be cautious! ”

Dong Ping's words caused Li Yanxian to sneer, and his words were even more ruthless.

"The Loyal and Righteous Army has strict military discipline, and the battle relies on military orders like a mountain, if these black sheep are confused by the army's morale, my Loyal and Righteous Army is useless, how is it different from those officers and soldiers?"

Dong Ping snorted coldly: "It's easy to say, if everyone runs away, how will the loyal and righteous army send out the army, and how will it deal with the thousands of thieves?"

Li Yanxian did not show weakness, and said vigorously: "Even if there are many people, as soon as he encounters the Jurchen army, he immediately flees when he hears the news, what is the use of such a thousand troops?"

"Dong Ping, Li Yanxian, you all shut up for me!"

Zhang Heng shouted loudly: "You two are noisy, what kind of system." This is the cottage lobby, how to deal with it, the officials have their own decisions!"

Dong Ping and Li Yanxian both closed their mouths and turned their heads away.

Zhi Yuexiu saw that Wang Song was hesitant, obviously wanting to absorb these defeated troops, and he couldn't make up his mind, probably because he was worried that the army's morale would be unstable, and a rat feces would spoil a pot of soup.

She was about to speak, but Wang Song raised her head, smiled softly at him, and then faced the others in the lobby, her face solemn.

"Brothers, listen to me."

Wang Song slowly paced forward a few steps, sat down on the chair in the middle, and then said:

"To restrain thousands of defeated troops, the rabble, there is no other way but to restrain military law! If we don't punish the troublemakers and make others feel awe, how can our loyal rebels still fight the Jurchens on the battlefield? If there were an endless stream of escapees, without the help of the Jurchens, we would have been wiped out. ”

He stood up, his face was solemn, and he shouted: "Zhang Xian, Li Yanxian, you two go in person, and lead the gendarmerie to arrest people immediately, whether it is the Loyal Army or the Western Army, all those who do wrongdoers will be punished in a canonical manner, and no one will be left!"

Zhang Xian and Li Yanxian took the order and left, and everyone in the hall was uncertain, and they each hung their heads and said nothing.

"Dong Ping, Zhang Heng, both of you are the main generals of the righteous army, you must not be a woman's kindness, because of a small loss, you have ruined the brothers of the army! You two are people who do big things, don't let others look down on you because of your own selfishness! ”

Dong Ping's face turned red, and he hugged his fists and said: "Big official, I ......"

Zhang Heng also blushed, hugged his fists and said: "Big officials, villains, etc., know that they are wrong!"

Human beings are like this, and we are very easy to expose our original essence as the environment changes. Since these routs came up the mountain, so have some of the officers in the rebel army.

Wang Song said in a deep voice: "In life, the grass and trees are autumn, and there are things to do and things to do." Going south to Bianliang City, it is related to the fate of the Han people, the country's temperament, although there are thousands of people, we also die in disregard, this is a soldier. If you linger, even if it is a hundred years in the world, how is it different from the walking dead?"

He glanced at Dong and Zhang, who were silent, and continued to say patiently: "The army is neutral and powerful, it all cares about orders and prohibitions, and the whole is united. If you ignore the righteousness of the army for the sake of the petty righteousness between brothers, you and I will be sinners for thousands of righteous soldiers and people. ”

Zheyuexiu hurriedly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere.

"Two brothers, Wang Daguan is deep in love and hateful. He treats you two as his own brothers, which can be described as well-intentioned. Dealing with those troublemakers, and not letting the two of you go out, is to take care of the faces of the two of you. ”

Zhi Yuexiu said softly: "Two brothers, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely say a few good words for the two brothers in front of the saint, the two brothers are people who do great things, and they must not mistake themselves for a good future."

Zhang Heng and Dong Ping bowed together and said: "Thank you for folding the little lady, thank you for the big officials!"

Wang Song stepped forward, patted the shoulders of the two, and said softly: "Our brothers are friends of life and death, just say thank you!"

Hundreds of bloody heads were placed in front of the army, including some of the original generals of the loyal and righteous army.

After a few days, the team was reorganized, supplemented with earthquakes and thunder, Wang Song left the wounded on the mountain to recuperate and hibernate, and he took 7,000 volunteers and left the cottage to go south.

When everyone went down the mountain, it was snowing heavily, and on both sides of the official road, there were people who came to see them off.

"Great official, you have to come back with your rebel brothers!"

"Brothers of the rebels, you must take care!"

Several white-haired old men handed over a red cloak, Wang Song took it, and after a closer look, the stitches were tight, thick and strong.

Looking at the unkempt and thinly clothed people in the wind and snow, and noticing the expectation in the eyes of the people, Wang Song's eyes were hot, and he almost burst into tears.

Have pity on my country and my people.
