Chapter 033: The Family
In the west of the Weisheng Military City, huge military tents are stationed along the foot of Qipan Mountain, huge military flags are waving in the wind, with a big "Yao" character on the front and several eye-catching black characters on the reverse side of the "Great Song River East System Envoy".
In the big camp, a team of men from the Western Army with sharp blades, strong and tall, wearing Fan Yang hats are patrolling back and forth, and the men standing guard are also majestic and solemn, and it can be seen that this is a hundred battles of strong soldiers who crawled out of the pile of dead people.
"You are Zhai Liang, Zhai Jin's son, and you are really a talent! General Xiao Zhai's name and official have heard that the first person in "Jingxi" is by no means a wasted name!"
After reading the warrants and letters of the two, Yao Gu smiled slightly. He and Zhai Jin used to serve in the Western Army, and the two were quite familiar with each other, and Zhai Jin was still his subordinate before.
At the age of about fifty, he is thin and tall, with deep eye sockets, and he seems to have a good face, but when he looks forward to it, the light in his eyes flashes away.
Wang Song secretly said in his heart that it was not good, it seemed that it was really as Zhai Liang said, this person was so shrewd and stubborn, I am afraid that ordinary language would be difficult to impress.
In order to appease Yao Gu and at the same time to balance the brothers in the seed division, the Great Song Dynasty court appointed Yao Gu as the envoy of the two rivers, and the deputy envoy in the seed division.
The Great Song Dynasty, at such a critical juncture, what kind of balance and oil tactics are still being engaged, don't you know that this will be fought separately and broken by the Jin people?
Once the rescue of Taiyuan fails, and the seed master, Yao Gu and others are defeated, Tokyo City will face the Jin people's east and west armies, and it is inevitable that there will be a danger of destroying the country.
"Xianggong, I see that you don't brow, but you're worried about waving your army to the north and uniting with the small Xianggong to rescue Taiyuan together?"
After the greetings, Wang Song noticed that Yao Gu frowned, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said.
The life and death of the elder brother is unknown, and the future of the breeder is uncertain, so he really doesn't have time to grind foreign workers here.
Yao Gu raised his head, looked at Wang Song in front of him, and exclaimed: "Who are you, Fei Zhai Jin's son and nephew, how did you know that the Jurchen army was coming?"
Zhai Liang was just about to step forward to speak, but Wang Song stopped him and continued: "My surname is Wang Mingsong, and he is a fellow villager with Zhai Xiaodaguan. Yao Xianggong was afraid that he had heard the news of the arrival of the Jurchen army, so he did not dare to go rashly and went to join the small Xianggong. I wonder if what I said below is true?"
"Jiao Anjie, the former commander of the army, has obtained the enemy's situation, and Fanzi has already waved his troops south, preparing to attack our army, and this officer ordered his headquarters to stop advancing, wait for the arrival of the Jurchen army."
Yao Gu stared at Wang Song with blazing eyes.
"But you, young man, where did you know that the Jurchen army would not come? If you need to know about military affairs, how can you know about it as a villager, it's really ridiculous!"
"Yao Xianggong has a heavy army, I'm afraid it's to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, let Fanzi eat the small Xianggong, and your Yao family is dominant in the Western Army."
Wang Song said coldly: "Jiao Anjie's words are just an excuse, in fact, there is no Jin army ahead."
Yao Gu waved his hand coldly, stopped the guards who wanted to come forward to arrest Wang Song, and said in a deep voice: "It is a matter of the survival of the army, and the old man naturally has to be cautious. It's a young man, you slandered the general at the exit, if the old man didn't look at the face of Brother Zhai Jin, how could he tolerate you!"
"Yao Xianggong, this is all a prevarication."
Wang Songsu bowed and said: "It's just that Xianggong has thought about it, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, once Fanzi destroys the small species of Xianggong, the next one will definitely be Yao Xianggong." With these foot soldiers of yours, can you resist the thousands of iron horsemen who can win the fanzi? ”
Zhai Liang was shocked, and hurriedly stopped: "Erlang, don't talk nonsense, don't retreat quickly!"
"Ling Lang failed because of the sneak attack on the Jin camp and fled to the mountains. Could it be that Yao Xianggong also wants to follow in his footsteps and die of fame? ”
Wang Song ignored it and continued. This is the case, and there is no way back for him. Do you really have to rely on him alone to face the thousands of iron horsemen of the Jurchens?
"You ignorant junior!"
Yao Gu suddenly changed color, pointed at Wang Song, and said angrily: "You guy, you are really bold. The prince of the small race only sent a war agreement today, and he agreed to fight against the Jurchen fans of Yuci together three days later, how did you know?"
"Three days later?"
Wang Song was stunned for a moment, and then said:
"Xianggong, I also know that I am arrogant, but this battle is related to the life and death of the Western Army, the safety of Taiyuan and Tokyo, and I have to speak wildly, please forgive me. Since the commander Jiao Anjie said that the soldiers are pressing, then please call the scouts to find out! ”
Wang Song breathed a sigh of relief. The planters agreed to march together in Yuci in three days, so it should be safe at this moment.
Zhai Liang also felt that the situation was serious, and stepped forward to bow and said:
"Yao Xianggong, the small Xianggong is alone, and he has not carried heavy grain and grass, which must be in crisis. If there is an army of fans ahead, send scouts to find out. Please also ask the prime minister to rescue the small kind of minister for the sake of the same imperial army. ”
There was silence in the camp, and after a while, the staff of his subordinates said on the side.
"Xianggong, why don't you call the scouts of Jiao Zhi and the patrol to interrogate. If you miss the trip, the big turbans in Tokyo City will also make irresponsible remarks, please think twice. ”
"Needless to say!"
Yao Gu waved his sleeves, his face turned pale, and he said categorically: "This prime minister joined the army, and there are more than a hundred vicious battles, do you want you to come and teach me a rough man!" Driven out of the camp, this officer is busy with military affairs, and there are still important things to do, send off guests!"
Seeing that the prime minister was angry, the guards directly grabbed Wang Song's arm and pulled him out.
Zhai Liang dragged Wang Song out, Wang Song turned his head and said loudly: "Yao Xianggong, please give 5,000 elite soldiers under you, and you are willing to take the lead until you die!"
"You, stop yelling, don't you see that Xianggong is already angry! If you talk nonsense again, be careful that your life is at risk!"
The guard's words fell on deaf ears in Wang Song's ears. He shouted:
"Yao Gu, you are so stubborn and self-serving, with a small belly and chicken intestines, the Western Army will be destroyed in your hands, and the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed in your hands, you are the sinner of the Song people!"
Zhai Liang dragged Wang Song out of the barracks, until he reached the river, and saw that he loved Yang Liu Qingqing, and there was no one around, so he stopped.
"Erlang, you are so arbitrary, if you don't get it right, you will lose your own life. I'll go back and explain how I can explain to your mother!"
Zhai Liang saw that Wang Song was indignant, and said a few words loudly, and his mood was also extremely low.
Wang Song was worried alone, sat down under an ancient willow by the river, facing the sparkling river, in a daze alone.
Zhai Liang was also lying on the grass, looking at the blue sky and white clouds. Although Wang Song's performance just now was a little excessive, this Yao Gu was indeed stubborn and stubborn.
Could it be that the two of them really want to risk themselves alone and go to the land of tigers and wolves to die?
Zhai Liang got up, sat down next to Wang Song, and asked, "Wang Song, what do you say we should do next?" Yao Gu is stubborn and refuses to send troops, even if the two of us rush to Taiyuan City, what role can we play with the two of us and two horses?"
Wang Song had calmed down, and he said softly: "Brother Zhai, what you said is reasonable. If it's late today, let's fill our stomachs first, and then go to Yao Xianggong early tomorrow morning!"
"Still go to find Yao Gu, what if it doesn't work?"
Zhai Liang thought of Yao Gu's stubbornness, and couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
"Why don't you kill Yao Gu, ask the imperial court, and send another important minister, preferably an old prince to lead the troops?"
The murderous intent in Wang Song's eyes flashed, and then he shook his head again.
If you want to kill Yao Gu, it is easy to talk about peace, even if you succeed, how to retreat with your whole body, and the army under his command can not listen to him as a foreigner.
"Yao Gu is not Xiao Zhonggong, he is nameless."
Zhai Liang smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Erlang, don't say whether we can succeed, even if we can succeed in one blow, we will definitely be killed by Yao Gu's subordinates." Even if we can succeed, once and again, when the military order of the imperial court comes down, I think that the prince of the small species has already been besieged, or he has been martyred. And your brother Wang Qing is also lifeless. ”
Wang Song said gloomily: "Brother Zhai, I am seriously ill and went to the doctor, you are not surprised." What should we do with you?"
Zhai Liang groaned: "Early tomorrow morning, let's go to Yao Gu's army again, if Yao Gu insists on his own opinion and refuses to send troops, let's go to Zhang Hao's Jiaocheng Department again." Zhang Hao's father Zhang Xiaochun and his brother Zhang Xun are now in Taiyuan City, and they may be able to go to him to discuss. ”
Wang Song was overjoyed in his heart, nodded and said, "What Brother Zhai said is very true. Tomorrow we will do it!"
One person counts short, two counts long. With this Zhai Liang by his side, the pressure on Wang Song's body was inexplicably less.
"Yao Gu, you come out, you coward who uses it for public purposes and can't make progress!"
At the gate of the barracks of Yao Gu's army, Wang Song was filled with indignation and scolded, the sergeant at the camp was glaring angrily, and Zhai Liang hurriedly dragged him away.
The two went to see Yao Gu early in the morning, and saw that his army showed no sign of going to Taiyuan. The two wanted to enter the barracks to see Yao Gu, but they unexpectedly closed the door. The two of them could not even enter the barracks gate, and were beaten out with guns by the sergeants guarding the barracks.
The two of them didn't know that if it weren't for Zhai Liang's father Zhai Jin's sake, the two of them would have lost Yao Gu's face like this, he would probably have been a killer.
is also a family, and compared with a big family like Yao Gu with thousands of troops and horses, the Zhai family is undoubtedly much inferior. Yao Gu killed Wang Song, like crushing an ant.
Seeing noon, Yao Gu's army still showed no signs of moving. Wang Song shook his head and said, "Brother Zhai, it seems that Yao Gu can't count on it, and it's useless to wait." It seems that we can only move forward and go to Jiaocheng to ask Zhang Hao for help. ”
Zhai Liang also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that this time, the friendship between my father and Yao Gu will come to an abrupt end."
The two of them rode away, kicking up dust all the way.
The soldiers in the barracks saw it clearly and went to report to Yao Gu.
Yao Gu was pacing in the military tent, and when he heard this, he stopped, and said coldly: "A rural village man dares to reprimand his own official in front of him, roaring the camp, it is really arrogant!"
The staff accompanied him with a smile and said: "Don't be angry, these two people went to Taiyuan, and it's not a dead end." ”
Yao Gu nodded, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Ignorant junior, it's really arrogant!" Let's see what waves they can make when they go forward. When you get to Huangquan Road, don't blame the old man!"
The staff stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Xianggong, Xianggong Li sent someone to ask when our army will go north and rush to help Taiyuan." Do you see if the army is heading north, or is it ......"
Yao Gu glanced at his staff, and said unhappily: "Li Gang is a scholar, and he doesn't know anything about military affairs, so don't pay attention to him." The whole army was ordered to be on standby to prevent Fanzi from stealing the camp. Without my military order, no one can send troops to the north, and those who violate the order will be dealt with by military law!"
The staff and subordinates looked at each other and hurriedly retreated.
