Then he bowed slightly and said, "The emperor has an order, so I naturally have to obey." It's just that I don't know, is the emperor willing to hand over the Xingguo Army to me for the time being? β
Zhao Dongting was puzzled: "What do you want to do with the Xingguo Army?" β
The Xingguo Army is undoubtedly a little special in the Song Army, and it is also the most sensitive, after all, they are all Jurchen soldiers.
Qin Han only said: "Take Zhaozhou for the emperor." β
Zhao Dongting was even more puzzled.
Qin Han said again: "The emperor handed over most of the flags of the three armies to me, led the troops to take the deserted road, and galloped to help Pingnan." β
Zhao Dongting condensed slightly, and finally understood Qin Han's plan, and said, "Are you going to repair the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang?" β
Qin Han didn't answer.
"Good!"
Seeing this, Zhao Dongting didn't ask any more questions, and said heavily, "I will hand over the Xingguo Army to you!" Come over after Xuan, Yan Zhang! β
Some soldiers galloped away at a gallop.
After Yan Zhang came over, Zhao Dongting said to him: "Wan Yan Zhang, from now on, you will lead the army to follow the military division, and listen to the military division in everything." β
Wan Yanzhang showed a puzzled look in his eyes, looked at Qin Han, but still knelt down to receive the order.
Zhao Dongting asked Yue Peng to hand over all the military flags in the three armies that did not have much practical effect to the Xingguo Army, and then returned to the chariot.
Wen Qi, the sergeant of the Xingguo army, and the girl were all taken to the camp to rest.
The night was getting darker.
Although Wen Qi was anxious, he also knew that it was inconvenient to march late at night, so he had to forcibly press it, but he tossed and turned, and he couldn't sleep anyway. As long as he closed his eyes, the scene that happened outside Pingnan County would appear in his mind.
He was still young, and after a while, there was a suppressed choking sound in the tent.
The soldier and the girl also slept in the tent, and the soldier was so tired that he fell into a deep sleep. When the girl heard this choked sound, she tiptoed to Wen Qi's side and lifted the corner of the quilt where he covered her head, "It's not good to sleep with your head covered." β
Seeing the girl's big bright eyes, Wen Qi was a little panicked. It is not a decent thing for a man to cry in front of a woman.
He hurriedly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "Who, who is crying?" β
The girl smiled softly, "I didn't say you cried." β
When she laughs, her eyes are so beautiful. This looks like a pretty bright girl.
Wen Qi was embarrassed, then turned over and said, "It's not early, you go to bed early!" β
The girl squatted at the head of his bed, and said, "Hey, Wen Qi, has your father told you about your family?" β
Wen Qi didn't look back, but he was still puzzled: "What are you asking for?" β
The girl said: "Just ask, I will lend you a horse to help you so much, you won't even want to tell me this, right?" β
Although Wen Qi was reluctant to talk about this kind of thing with the girl's family, he was really embarrassed in his heart, and said: "When I was young, my father did promise me a family affair, and he was also from the Lin'an family, and that uncle was still close friends with my father. But then I followed my father and went around, and now I don't know where they went. β
The girl's eyes curled again, "Then do you remember that girl?" β
Wen Qi said: "Why don't you remember? She was teased and cried by me at that time! β
Thinking of the events there, he unconsciously dissipated a lot of gloom and grief in his heart.
"Ahh
Immediately afterwards, Wen Qi screamed in pain, turned over and said, "What are you doing to twist me?" β
The girl puffed out her cheeks and said, "You are still proud of bullying girls!" β
Saying that, she lowered her head slightly, "I'll ask you again, if you see her again and find that she is extremely ugly, will you marry her?" β
Wen Qi's character is following his father's, and when he heard this, he resolutely said: "The gentleman promises, my father has promised a marriage for me, don't say that she is ugly, that is, she is deaf and dumb, I will definitely marry her." β
After saying that, he finally sensed that something was wrong, "What do you keep asking me for?" β
But the girl reached out and pinched his arm again, "You little radish head, you are deaf and dumb!" β
Wen Qi was shocked, "You, you ......"
His eyes were round and he glared at the girl, but he couldn't speak. Because, Little Radish Head is the nickname he was given by his playmate when he was a child.
The girl replied shyly, "I ...... I am Yiyuan...... Uncle Wen, Uncle Wen, how is he now? β
"Little Beans! You're a little bean! β
Wen Qi sat up from the bed in shock, his face full of incredulity, "You are so big now?" β
The girl rolled her eyes and said, "Haven't you grown up too?" β
Wen Qi learned that she was his wife who had not passed through the door, and he was inexplicably nervous, scratching his head and saying, "Yes, too!" β
Then he said suspiciously: "Little Douding, since you know that it is me, why didn't you recognize me when you and your uncle were in the village?" β
"Call me Yiyuan, how can it be so big and called a woman's name."
The girl was slightly annoyed, but there was a soft look like water in her eyes, and she looked at Wen Qi and said, "Who knows if what you said at that time was true or false, I came with you just to see if you are really Wen Qi." If you weren't, I would have taken your life on the way. β
Wen Qi listened and said unconvinced: "Can you beat me?" β
The girl reached out and twisted him again, causing him to gasp.
Then the two talked for a long time in this tent, although they were not married, they had a marriage contract, and the two were childhood friends, so they didn't feel unfamiliar.
It turned out that this girl was Wang Yiyuan, the daughter of Wenfu, the former prince of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Wang Wenfu and Wen Tianxiang were close friends when he was in Lin'an, just when the Southern Song Dynasty court was weak, and the ministers were in charge, Wen Tianxiang was determined to help Sheji, but Wang Wenfu no longer had much hope for the Southern Song Dynasty court, and chose to go into hiding, and then took his family to the south to escape the war, from Lin'an to Jiangnan, and from Jiangnan to this Guangxi.
When Kublai Khan waved his army back to Zhongdu to seize the throne, the war between the two countries was temporarily suspended, and Wang Wenfu thought that he could finally live a stable life, so he settled down in Xunzhou, opened a school, and taught his children. But he never thought about it, a few years later, the Yuan army invaded again, and Guangxi also fell into war, he didn't know where he could run again, and he couldn't let go of the villagers who had been adjacent for many years, so he could only organize the villagers to stay in the village.
Although he heard that Wen Tianxiang's troops had arrived in Guangxi not long ago, he was worried that he would meet the Yuan army, so he did not rush over to meet him.
Now Wen Qi accidentally ran to the village to borrow a horse, which can be regarded as a god-given fate.
Wang Yiyuan heard Wen Qi say that before his grandmother and eldest brother were dragged to death, Wen Tianxiang vomited blood and fainted, and he couldn't stop crying.
She wanted to comfort Wen Qi, but she didn't know what to say. In the end, she is only a sixteen-year-old girl.
The two talked like this from childhood to the present, and then talked about the danger of Pingnan, until late at night, when they fell asleep.
Wen Qi met his fiancΓ©e, and saw that his wife was beautiful and righteous, and his mood finally improved a lot.
Following.
The sky was dark, the three armies had already had breakfast, Zhao Dongting led the forbidden army in front of the palace, the guards and the beggars army to cover the banner and pick a small road to Pingnan. Qin Han led the Yuan army, which was already less than 8,000, to continue northward and go to Zhaozhou. They flew their flags high, and the flags of all armies were there, and the ranks stretched for an extremely long time, as if there were tens of thousands of them.
Zhao Dongting read Wen Tianxiang, so he asked Wen Qi to accompany him in his chariot, but he didn't think about it, Wen Qi brought Wang Yiyuan over.
Later, Zhao Dongting heard the story of the two of them in the chariot, and he was also very interesting.
I heard Wen Qi say that Wen Tianxiang was just vomiting blood in a hurry, and he had no old illness before, which made him relax a little.
Now there are not many capable ministers in the Southern Song Dynasty who can take charge alone, only Wen Tianxiang is alone. The rest such as Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie, Su Liuyi and others have knowledge, but in the final analysis, their temperament is too pedantic, Zhang Shijie is better, but he has the old problem of rejecting dissidents, so he can only sit in the imperial court, handle government affairs, and lead the army to resist the Yuan army, I am afraid that Mo will only suffer defeat.
As for Qin Han, Zhao Dongting still wasn't sure if he could be trusted or not. Handing over the Xingguo Army to him can be said to be a gamble.
At the moment, he has no other way, only Qin Han really feints to attack Zhaozhou, and the battle situation in Guangxi may be able to turn around.
In this way, the army marched mightily through the mountains.
Below the mountain range, the turbid Xunjiang River flows endlessly.
When the army came to a difficult place, it always had to stop and dig up, and the speed of the march was not very fast.
In the end, Zhao Dongting was a little annoyed, so he simply opened the way with a grenadier canister. Although the shells are expensive, he understands that Pingnan County is more important.
If he can't arrive before the loss of Pingnan County, the Xingguo Army will inevitably suffer great losses, not to mention, the army led by him and Qin Han will become a lonely army, and no one will respond to Guangxi at that time, with only 30,000 military horses, even if Qin Han's ability is used, I am afraid that there will only be a result of returning to Leizhou.
And in such a situation without counting the shells, it finally made the march a lot faster.
In the past few days, the soldiers led by Zhao Dongting finally approached Pingnan.
The scout who went first reported that Pingnan County was still fighting, and the city had not yet been broken, which made Zhao Dongting finally breathe a sigh of relief.
On this day, he ordered the army to camp in the wilderness, and then announced Yue Peng, Su Quandang and other generals to discuss countermeasures.
Although the army of Jesur has suffered a lot of losses in the siege of the city in the past few days, there are at least 60,000 left, and the soldiers they lead are only more than 20,000 people.
