Chapter 012: Civil Official

Niu Gao picked up the wine bag next to him and was about to drink, when he saw Wang Song staring at him, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and put it down.

Wang Song patted Niu Gao's shoulder and said seriously: "Brother Niu, you were born recklessly, and you are running around for life every day. There is no hope for a career in office, and it is inevitable to get drunk. From now on, let's quit this wine, lest you miss a major incident! ”

Niu Gao's eyes were hot, he threw the wine bag far away, and said loudly: "If you want to do this, you will spend my old cow's money!" ”

"Good!"

Wang Song said loudly: "Zhang Xian, go get two pairs of fine armor and iron helmets, and send them to Niu Gao's father and son." As the general of my loyal army, how can I not have protective armor!"

Niu Gao's father and son bowed together and said, "Thank you, big official!"

The army crossed Dengjiapo and was stationed. Wang Song asked the soldiers to divide some grain, horse meat and silver, and asked Niu Tong and others to bring them back and settle their families. Those who are willing to join the army will follow Niu Gao and join the former army. If you don't want to, you will lurk in the local area, beware of the Jurchens coming to plague you.

"Big officials, villains admire! You can kill so many people, and you can also cut off the heads of two generals, it's really for the soldiers and civilians of my Great Song Dynasty, and you have a bad breath!"

Everyone moved forward together, Niu Gao followed Wang Song's side and said sincerely.

"Compared to the Jurchens besieging Tokyo City, what my loyal army has killed is only a drop in the bucket!"

Wang Song stopped and said in a deep voice: "There are as many as 200,000 Jurchen troops going south, and we have only annihilated only 20,000!" The strength of our army is still very weak, and the Jin people must hate our army to the core. Under the watchful eye, the tough battle is still to come, brothers must be cautious!"

Annihilated a part of the Jurchen living force, and in the end he had to enter Bianjing. Otherwise, once Bianjing City is lost, his efforts will be in vain.

"The big officials are for the country, they sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths, and the loyal and righteous brothers are fighting for life and death with Fanzi!"

Niu Gao was worried, and a trace of grief and indignation appeared on his face. He pointed to the east, shook his head and said, "Great official, do you know that there are tens of thousands of imperial army in the east, and they have stayed in Yexian for a long time, and they haven't moved a single step north!" Such a military army, the court does not know what to do! When it comes to danger, it is really infuriating to shrink back and not save when you see death!"

"There is such a thing!"

Wang Song was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Niu, do you know which way of the court is it?" Who is the manager? Where are the soldiers and horses now?"

Niu Gao said angrily: "Back to the big official, the commander is Wang Xiang, the governor of the west, and there are more than 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command. The villain wanted to take the villagers to join him and go to King Qin in Tokyo, but he didn't expect this guy to lead the soldiers to stand still, just watching all day. This guy has been staying in Ye County for more than ten days. If it weren't for Brother Zhai Xing's sake, I would have slaughtered that dog thing earlier!"

"Zhai Xing?"

Wang Song's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Brother Niu, you are talking about Uncle Zhai Xing, and he is also in Wang Xiang's account now?"

Wang Song suddenly remembered. At that time, he and Zhai Liang went north to Hedong together, and Zhai Liang also went to visit this person, it seems that Zhai Jin's brothers really have some friendship with Wang Xiang.

Niu Gao nodded and said, "Back to the big official, exactly." In addition to Brother Zhai Xing, there are also General Zhai and Zhai Xiaoguan, presumably they also went to urge Wang Xiang to march. But whether it's useful or not, the villain doesn't know!"

Wang Song stood up and said to Niu Gao: "Brother Niu, you immediately lead the way, let's go to this Wang Xiang immediately, say anything, and leave this army behind!"

Niu Gao was overjoyed and blurted out: "Great official, do you really have a way to let this guy go to King Qin in Tokyo?"

Zhi Yuexiu didn't know when she came up, and whispered in Wang Song's ear: "Big officials, you can only outwit, and it is not appropriate to attack, otherwise it will definitely be a snipe and a clam fight, and the fisherman will benefit."

Wang Song nodded lightly and whispered in Zhiyuexiu's ear: "Don't worry, I won't let you take the risk!"

Zheyuexiu's face turned red and retreated.

Zhang Xian stepped forward and said puzzledly: "Great official, Wang Xiang is the head of the Western Road, you ...... Is there really a way to get him north?"

Wang Song is just a solicitor from Hedong, although he has made many military exploits, but in the end he is a martial artist and a grass platform team.

This Wang Xiang is a Huanghuang scholar, a second-class master, and a high and powerful position. What can Wang Song do to make him use it for himself?

Wang Song looked at everyone and said loudly: "Brothers, don't worry, I have my own way to make this Wang Xiang obediently obey orders!"

He turned to Zheyuexiu and said loudly: "Folded little lady, Wang Xiang will definitely obey the orders of this official, and go north to King Qin, do you say yes or no?"

Zhiyuexiu knew that he was pretending to be a ghost, and at this moment, he could only push the boat along the river, so as not to make him lose his military heart.

"Wang Daguan, this time I went north, but the stakes are very high, you can act cheaply, and the safety of the official family and Tokyo City depends on you!"

"Acting cheaply?"

Zheyuexiu's words came from afar, and everyone's hearts trembled. I can't imagine that Wang Song really has no fear, it seems that there must be his way.

Wang Song secretly admired. Unexpectedly, this Zheyue Show turned out to be Bingxue smart, and followed his own words. This move not only stabilized the morale of the army, but also seemed to give himself an idea.

Ye County, belongs to Ruzhou, the northwest road of Beijing, the rivers in the territory are vertical and horizontal, and the Ru River is the largest.

As night fell, the wilderness and snowfield, south of the frozen Ru River, were lined with camps and stood near the river.

"Your Excellency, you must not go south! Now the Jurchens have besieged the city, and Bianliang City is in danger! If you leave like this, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in Bianliang City, what should you do!"

In the big tent of Wang Xiang, the head of the West Road, Zhai Xing talked eloquently, but his mouth was dry, and his face was anxious.

The Zhai Xing brothers sat next to each other, and next to the two of them, a group of well-dressed beasts in official robes or armor sat upright, all of them with ancient faces, and the old monks sat still, letting the Zhai brothers plead bitterly.

"Brother Zhai, you don't need to say more, this official is also helpless! "

In the big tent, a handsome civil official in his forties finally spoke.

From the fair-skinned face, it can be seen that this civil official should have been a beautiful man back then. Now it seems that the face of this beautiful man is kind, and his words are gentle, which makes people feel like a spring breeze, and his face is like that of a saint.

"Now that the Jurchens are powerful, they are ruined everywhere they go, and the city walls are not guaranteed, how do you tell this official to resist! If you go north, it can only be a dead end, and Brother Zhai should not force the official!"

Zhai Xing did not give up, and bowed solemnly: "Manager Wang, if not, please allocate some people and horses to let my brother go north to King Qin, which can be regarded as an explanation to the court!"

Zhai Jin hissed: "Manager Wang, if you are willing to lead the army north, my brother and dog are willing to be the vanguard, charge into battle, go to the soup and fire, and never give up!"

Zhai Liang shook his head secretly. From the moment he entered the big tent, he knew that these people had been beaten and feared by the Jurchens. Even natural dangers like Luoyang City and Heyang can be abandoned and fled by them, how can they pass through the layers of the Jurchen army in order to save Tokyo City.

"Two brothers, this is the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, and it is not something that can be controlled by the subordinates, and the two brothers are difficult to be younger brothers!"

Sure enough, as Zhai Liang expected, Wang Xiang's face was still calm, his demeanor was still the same, and his kung fu to nourish his qi had reached the realm of perfection.

"Besides, even if you are willing to allocate some troops and horses to the two of you, how can those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals obey the dispatch of the two of you! The two brothers must not be angry for a moment and lose their useful bodies!"

Zhai Liang smiled slightly, this Wang Xiang's style was really not what he expected.

Zhai Jin and his brother looked at each other, and there was helplessness in their eyes. It's been here, and it's no good to stay here, so it's better to leave early and find another way.

Zhai Jin stood up and bowed: "Since the chief minister has your difficulties, we will no longer work hard with each other." Tomorrow, my brother will lead the troops to retreat west to Luoyang City, vowing to fight the thieves to the end!"

"The chief official refuses to go north, with my brother's thousands of township soldiers, it is difficult to break through the Jurchen encirclement, and the old man can't leave all the children of the township here!"

Zhai Xing shook his head and said: "In this case, my brother can only go west and deal with the Jurchens in the land of Xijing, Brother Wang, please take care!"

Wang Xiang smiled slightly: "Two brothers, this official has applied to the imperial court for a decree, and Brother Zhai Xing is the commander of Henan, and Brother Zhai Jin is the deputy commander. It will be some time before the decree arrives, and the two brothers will stay in the army for some time, and we will know in a few days!"

The two brothers looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and walked out of the tent. This is the holy decree of the imperial court, and the two of them must not obey and wait.

Zhai Xing walked out of the big tent, looked at the deathly darkness outside, and couldn't help but cry.

"Hundreds of thousands of Jurchen troops are attacking from east to west, and the city of Tokyo is in danger, pitying the Song Dynasty and the millions of people in this city!"

Zhai Jin stepped forward and comforted his brother.

"Big brother, you and my brother are weak and weak, when we receive the holy decree, let's leave as soon as possible, maybe we can still protect the imperial mausoleum, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the official family!"

"Uncle, father, let's not worry about nothing!"

Zhai Liang snorted coldly, and said sharply: "Fanzi is powerful, the scholar is incompetent, Fanzi will break through Tokyo City, I'm afraid it will be in the mist." Pity the court for a hundred years, the king and the scholars rule the world together, but in the end it is useless. It's ridiculous!"

The father and son all shook their heads and sighed, unhappy, and went listlessly.

The Zhai father and son walked for a long time, and Xu Gao, who was in charge of Jingxi on the side, said beside him: "Chief official, the Zhai brothers are so bold and reckless, how can you still speak for them in front of the official family?" The Jurchen Iron Cavalry is invincible with one block and one hundred, how can these officers and soldiers under me be the opponents of the Jurchens?"

Xu Kang, Hebei, echoed and said: "The prince of the small species, how fierce it is, the Xia people fled in front of him, and it was difficult to stop him!" It's just that as soon as the Jurchens arrived, they were wiped out, defeated and died, and there was no more family army in the world from then on. We little soldiers, how can we endure the Jurchens!"

The Jurchen West Road completed Yan Zonghan's army to the south, crossed the river from Bishui Pass, and the troops stationed in Luokou were stationed in Luokou, and Xu Gao of Hebei was stationed in Luokou, and the west gate of Tokyo City was opened, and the Jurchen army drove straight in.

Now these two are shameless in the big tent, and they have words, and Wang Xiang, who also abandoned the city and fled, can really be said to smell like each other, and they are shameless.
