Chapter 059: March

On the wasteland, Liu Wu gave up his life to run, just because of old age and weakness, after running for dozens of meters, he was already out of breath and his eyes were full of stars.

Steady his footing slightly, gasping for a few breaths, and just about to flee forward, his chest hurt, and with a "whoosh", a sharp arrow came out of his chest and knocked him to the ground.

All the scenes in the field were tilted, the trees and ridges in the field of vision became blurred, the wind on the field blew gently, and the sadness of decades of hardship passed through my heart......

Is it just dead? Liu Wu dropped two lines of turbid tears, his consciousness became blurred, and he slowly closed his eyes.

"Sa Moulu, what are you angry with a bad old man, wait for our army to go south, and find you some young Song men, so that you can have fun!"

The guard picked up the feathered arrow, and Samuru took it on his horse, put it in the quiver carved with birds and beasts, and then turned his head.

"It's getting cooler, I wonder what silversmithing is grinding? It's hard to find a hunting target, which is really disappointing!"

This is a field outside Pantuo Pass, it was originally a good field for the people, after a war, the fertile land is barren, the wild grass is overgrown, and it has become a paradise for dogs and rabbits.

Pantuo Ancient Town is the throat road to Taiyuan in the south, east of Jiulong Mountain, Changyuan River from south to north, from Pantuo Ancient Town west through the flow. There are Wolong Mountain, Babao Mountain, Wohu Mountain and Bijia Mountain in the west, which are close to the mountains and rivers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and can be described as a place where soldiers must fight.

When Yan Zonghan's Western Route Army went west to besiege Bianjing, it was here that Yao Gu's Western Army was defeated, and then went south with the army, all the way to the city of Tokyo.

Because of the dangerous terrain, Wanyan Yinshu can send the fierce general Sa Moulu and Li Siben, who is familiar with the terrain and customs, to lead a large army to guard the gateway south of Taiyuan.

"I heard that there is a military situation ahead, so the army has been delayed for a while, presumably the army will soon go south, and you will be happy when the time comes!"

Li Siben looked at the dozen or so corpses that had been shot in the wilderness, watching the golden soldiers busily pulling the corpses away, wiping the bloodstains on the arrows, and today in order to add to the fun, he also shot two.

Hearing Li Siben's words, Samolu nodded slightly, his eyes hideous.

"The Song people who are straight thieves can't be killed cleanly! When the time comes, when you go south, you have to kill him and bleed like a river!"

Seeing that the two of them were so tyrannical and killed, not taking the lives of the Song people seriously, Lin Feng, the general on the side, felt half chilled in his heart.

Sure enough, it is a barbarian who drinks blood, only knows how to kill for fun, regards human life as a mustard, does not understand Chinese civilization, and pities the innocent souls under their swords.

"What happened in the army?"

Samulu Hu wondered: "Why has the day of going south been postponed now?" I'm still planning to break through the Lund Mansion and have some fun!"

Wang Song trained in Longde Mansion, and after completing his face and silver skills, he could lead a large army to crusade, but he was defeated and had to retreat. The fierce generals in the army, such as Samoulu and others, were furious and regarded as a great shame.

Originally, the generals were looking forward to the autumn and the southward invasion of the Song Dynasty, and the first stop was to slaughter the city of Longdefu, and the shame of the snow under the city was useless, who knew that the matter of going south was delayed again and again, and there was no news until now.

"Marshal Wanyan Zonghan intends to wave his troops to occupy the three states outside the river, occupy Shaanxi, and isolate Hedong and Hebei, so there is a delay in the southward movement of the army."

As the chief general of the Yisheng Army who is familiar with the terrain of Hedong and knows the thoughts of the Jin people well, Li Si is not a simple-minded and reckless man with developed limbs like Sa Moulu, and Wanyan Zonghan's combat intentions have already been clearly understood by him.

"The marshal intends to capture the three states outside the river in one breath and destroy the Zhejia army, otherwise there will always be people behind him to restrain and contain him, and it will always be uncomfortable. This is called the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly, it is the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, said, this is the truth. ”

Lin Feng heard and understood that Li Siben, as a sitting tiger in Hedong, could see through Sticky Han's combat intentions, so how could the smartest group of scholars in the world in the Song Dynasty be indifferent and let themselves fend for themselves?

"No wonder Mu Han frequently transferred troops from Hedong, it turned out to be to ask for that old Wang Ba!"

Samulu suddenly realized, but then frowned.

"Li Siben, the elite soldiers and strong generals have all been transferred to the three states outside the river, is it so cheap Wang Song?"

"It's not who is cheaper, but that's what is happening in front of you!"

Li Siben's expression became solemn.

In the first year of Jingkang, there were several major battles outside Tokyo, and the Jurchen army suffered heavy casualties, and also took a second prince Wanyan Zongwang. Since the first year of Jingkang, the Song and Jin have fought more than 100,000 battles, the Song soldiers have lost more than 100,000 and 200,000, and the Jin people have also suffered tens of thousands of casualties, and the Jin people can be described as a great victory.

It's just that the Song people are tens of millions, and the Jurchens are only one million, and the Song people have been damaged, but the Jurchen warriors are sparse and difficult to supply.

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, this is not to go south immediately, you will have the opportunity to fight on the battlefield immediately!"

Samoulu laughed, his eyes blood-red, and there was a little hideousness in his eyes.

"Finally, we can have a good fight!"

Lin Feng felt a chill in his heart. Going south to directly face Wang Song's elite Hedong Loyal Army, this collision, I don't know whether it is good or bad.

A few fast horses came from the south, stirring up dust along the way. The knight on the horse galloped wildly, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he didn't bother to wipe it off, and the anxiety on his face was obvious.

"What's the point of the dog's panic?"

Samoulu immediately stepped down and shouted angrily.

The knights dismounted one after another, knelt on one knee, and saluted with fists in one hand, and said urgently: "General, the Song army has gone north, and it is Wang Song's Hedong loyal army!"

Samouru was startled, and his raised whip stopped in the air.

The mountains are all over the field, the flags are flying, the swords and guns are like forests, and the rolling iron flow that walks is several miles, covering the sky and the earth, and there is no end in sight.

The army passed through Longde Mansion, replenished grain and grass, and then went all the way north, passed the Weisheng army, and arrived not far from the ancient town of Pantuo, and the army was stationed.

Pantuo is an important town, which has been occupied by the Jin people, blocking the road of the army to the north. Probably the Jin people didn't expect that the Song people would dare to attack the door, wouldn't this be looking for death.

As the army marched north, it was left with mutilation, burned-out ruins everywhere, and smoke curling from some villages, apparently having just been destroyed.

When the army travels, they will occasionally meet some Song people who come out to look for food. Seeing the arrival of the imperial army, the people wept bitterly, told about their misfortunes, and scolded the cruelty of the Jin people.

Wherever the army went, small groups of golden soldiers fled one after another, and the army did not pursue, but went north without stopping. The people who were fleeing from the war in the mountains first panicked and took refuge, and then they settled down and fell to their knees one after another, weeping bitterly.

The soldiers of the Loyal and Righteous Army were all filled with righteous indignation, and they couldn't wait to find the Jin people immediately and fight for a while, so as to relieve the anger in their hearts.

The army was encamped, and they all operated according to the usual training and followed the step-by-step order. Trenches, fences, antlers, thatched houses, light and dark sentinels, there are many of them.

In addition to the murderous edict outside Tokyo, this is the first time that Wang Song has led an army of such a scale to the expedition, and his heart is naturally full of ambition.

In the army and the big battalion, Wang Song did not show his outstanding privileges, and still ate together with other generals in the open space.

Treat everyone equally, share weal and woe, without any privileges, in the loyal army, eat and sleep like this. But when it comes to military discipline, it is a strict system and meticulous, and no one can trespass.

Ma Kuo, Ouyang Che and others all went out with Wang Song for the first time. Seeing such a way to eat, I couldn't help but be secretly frightened. Wang Song did this to win the hearts of the soldiers.

"Brother Yeru, the child should be born, right?"

Wang Song took a sip of hot water, looked at Ye Lu Gan, who was eating stiffly, and asked softly.

Since he joined this loyal army, Yelu Yan attaches great importance to his words and deeds, plus he has shaved his braids, and now he has combed his hair in a bun, and his every move is no different from that of the Han people.

"Back to Xianggong, the foolish man was just born last month, and my Yelu family is considered to be a queen. Thank you so much for letting the small family have a place to live in the city of Tokyo. ”

Although Yelu Yan spoke cautiously and carefully, his face was full of joy that could not be hidden.

"Foolish?"

Yelugan's answer made Wang Song stunned, and he didn't expect that this Yelugan would become red tape.

"Brother Yelu, have you notified the family, and have you given the child's name?"

"Back to Xianggong, the villain's parents and brothers have gone to Tokyo City to take care of the villain's wife."

Yelu Yan hurriedly said, "Thanks to the brothers of the Tadashi Society, the villain's parents and brothers were able to reach Tokyo City safely. The name of the dog has not yet been given, so please give the name to the minister. ”

"That's right."

Wang Song nodded, groaned for a while, and said, "I hope your child will have a bright future in the future, and this official will give him a bright word, what do you think?"

"Jerry Liang!"

Everyone applauded in unison, and Yelu was overjoyed, and quickly thanked Wang Song.

"Brother Yang, I heard that your parents are in Henan Mansion, everything is okay at home?"

Hearing Wang Song's words, Yang Jin smiled bitterly and said: "Xianggong, I won't tell you that since the villain was drunk and hurt people, he went up the mountain and fell into the grass after escaping, and he broke off contact with his family. The villain inquired, his parents and wife are there, and everything is fine. Thank you for your care!"

"The prodigal son does not change his money, and the heroes are mostly reckless!"

Wang Song nodded slightly and said: "The ancients are cloudy, and it is okay to die at night." No matter where the husband comes from, as long as he serves the country and the people, he is a big hero. ”

Yang Jin admired it in his heart, and hurriedly said: "What Xianggong said is very true, and the villain admires it so much!"

"Xianggong, I'm afraid that after the Northern Expedition, you will marry Emperor Roufu."

Zhang Xian smiled and said, "The villain is here to congratulate you first!"

Ouyang Che said loudly: "With Xianggong's talent, I'm afraid that the seven fairies in the sky are also willing to marry him." Emperor Roufu has a heart for Xiang Gong, and Xiang Gong doesn't know if he is willing to do it in his heart?"

Wang Song laughed, shook his head and said, "Brother Ouyang knows my heart well, knows my heart well!" What is the identity of Emperor Roufu, I naturally admire it very much! When it comes to marriage, it depends on the meaning of the mother. There's no rush either!"

Seeing that Wang Song was open-minded, everyone did not shy away from suspicion, and they all laughed loudly. Chen Dong couldn't help but wonder, only Ma Kuo frowned slightly.

"The second brother Zhai is good, the army travels, and he brings so many dishes, it's really not easy!"

Niu Gao said on the side, obviously feeling it.

Seeing Wang Song coming, Zhai Er hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Second Brother Zhai, you did a good job!"

Wang Song nodded and said, "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." You are in charge of the stomachs of tens of thousands of soldiers, so you must not take it lightly!"

"Don't worry, the villain knows."

Zhai Er hurriedly responded. Trivial things are done by the generals in the army, and he only coordinates in the middle. Everyone knew that he was Wang Songfa Xiao, and everyone was polite to him.

Everyone is just eating time, and they can let loose a little. Once they returned to the camp, they were all solemn, no one made a noise, and the military discipline was strict, which can be seen.
