Chapter 099: The Last Stubbornness
Upset!
For Wang Song, I'm afraid there will be no better way to describe his mood at the moment.
Wanyan Sa left the army to enter Jingzhao Mansion, broke through Chang'an City, and the news of burning, killing and looting had just arrived, and the abnormal behavior of Du Chong left behind in the Daimyo's Mansion made him restless.
The court has no will, and he can't go back to Beijing, meet Zhao Huan in person, and know his intentions, otherwise he will be humiliated.
News came from the brothers of the Loyal Society. Since the Jin People's East Route Army conquered Hebei, Du Chong, who stayed behind in the Daimyo Mansion, became restless, and in addition to getting drunk every day, he also whipped the soldiers all day long, and killed many people in the north of the city, making the people of the Daimyo Mansion panic......
Combined with the feat of this person breaking the Yellow River in history and causing the displacement of countless Li people, he must be a demon.
The loyal army occupied Taiyuan, and the situation in Hedong was gratifying, but he had to stop and watch from the wall. On the one hand, he had to wait for the holy decree of the imperial court, on the other hand, he did not have the news of finishing the army of Yan Lou's room, and if he wanted to send troops, he also needed the permission of the imperial court's will.
The situation in Hebei is still erosive, the Jurchens are attacking cities everywhere, burning, killing and plundering, the people are not able to make a living, and the people are in dire straits.
The Daimyo's capital is an important town in Hebei, and the northern part of Tokyo is a national barrier. Once it is breached, Hebei will be eroded, and Gyeonggi will lose its protection, and its destructive power will be self-evident.
The Jin people also saw this and attacked this important northern town with all their might, wanting to take the Daimyo's Mansion as soon as possible as a base for the southern invasion.
"Xianggong, the general who besieged the Daimyo's Mansion is called Wanyan Zongbi, the Jin royal family, is the fourth son of Wanyan Aguta, with more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and about 10,000 cavalry."
Wanyan Zongbi, isn't it the famous golden vulture in history?
Unexpectedly, this hawkish figure of the Jin Dynasty has already stepped onto the stage of history.
Jin Wushu is a good story in history for Grandpa Yue.
Now that half of Hebei is occupied by the Jin people, Wanyan Zongbi has 30,000 people under him, so let him pay a good price.
"Du Chong, Du Chong, you make it difficult for people to sleep!"
Wang Song stood up, muttering softly in his mouth, and began to pace around the room.
"He likes fame, he is cruel and easy to kill, and he is shorter than strategy. Ambition but no talent, good name but no reality, arrogance and self-use to gain reputation, as a big responsibility, rarely have the end. ”
In an instant, the historical evaluation of this gentleman came into his mind.
Historically, on the eve of the second invasion of the Song Dynasty by the Jin people to break through Kaifeng, Du Chong guarded the mansion of the famous man in Beijing, boasting that "the handsome ministers are not allowed to sit on the throne, and they should take the arrow stone as a thing", which seems to be the reincarnation of Han Xin, who can not only strategize, but also personally lead the troops into battle. However, as soon as the Jurchen East Road army came, Du Chong did not dare to confront it, and the only countermeasure was to order the Yellow River embankment to be opened, so that the Yellow River water would flow from Surabaya into Huai, in an attempt to block the pursuing soldiers behind him.
Instead of stopping the Jurchen East Army, more than 200,000 local people were drowned, and the deaths caused by displacement and plague were several times greater. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the most prosperous and prosperous Lianghuai region was destroyed, and nearly 10 million people were homeless and became refugees.
The year before last, Wang Song entered the city of Tokyo and broke the Jin army outside the city of Tokyo, and the city of Bianjing was spared, and the incident of the Yellow River bursting did not happen in the end.
But since then, Du Chong's thorn has been stuck in Wang Song's heart, making it difficult for him to sleep.
Now it seems that the Jin soldiers are going south, and this guy is left behind by the Daimyo's mansion, and they will definitely have to break the embankment of the Yellow River again, and repeat the old tricks!
Even if he is the minister of Xuanfu, a scholar like Du Chong will never take himself in his eyes.
"Let the brothers of the Zhongyi Society closely monitor Du Chong, and don't let him kill the Yellow River. I will go to the Daimyo's Mansion and urge Yue Fei to send troops. ”
"Xianggong, Fanzi attacked the city in the Daimyo's Mansion, and his subordinates numbered 30,000. The Hebei Zhongyi Army is all new recruits, and I am afraid that it is not its opponent. ”
"It is precisely because they are recruits and have not been trained that I have to take them to see blood well, to know what the battlefield is, what blood is, and what death is."
Wang Song looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The flowers in the greenhouse can't withstand the wind and rain. If you want to become a strong army, you have to go through the forging of blood and fire. Immediately sent a letter to Yue Fei and asked him to wait in Zhaozhou, and the prime minister arrived later. ”
Although Yue Fei's department fought well. But firstly, the loyal and righteous army were all new soldiers, and secondly, the Jin army was large and there were many cavalry. The Loyal Army has greatly reduced its ability to maneuver.
Killing a complete face and a horse is already an unexpected surprise. But the loss of troops is thousands, if it is the Hedong Loyal Army, such a thing will never happen.
He can't let this kind of thing continue in the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army, a small battle, the loss of more than 2,000 people, a few more battles, the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army will not be completely lost?
Wang Song left, and Ma Kuo and the generals all looked at each other. Wang Song went to the Daimyo's mansion, perhaps his last stubbornness.
"Zhang Xianggong, don't come to harm?"
Wang Song and Zhang Jun have known each other for a long time, although they don't get along too happily, they are still passable on face.
"Wang Xianggong, why did you come to Hebei this time?"
Zhang Jun was slightly surprised, but quickly reacted.
Wang Song is the Xuanfu envoy of the two rivers, and the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army was created by him, and Wang Song came to the army, but he was also justified.
"I'm afraid you already know about the affairs of the Daimyo's Mansion."
Wang Song's tone was relaxed, and there was no hint of dissatisfaction.
"The Daimyo's Mansion is the barrier of Tokyo, and now it is besieged by tens of thousands of people, and it is in danger. Zhang Xianggong, this official wants to personally lead the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army to repel Yan Zongbi's department, I don't know what your intentions are?"
"This ......"
Zhang Jun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and thought about it.
As Wang Song said, the Daimyo's Mansion was the barrier of Tokyo, and once the Daimyo's Mansion fell, the city of Tokyo would face the threat of the Golden Army.
Yue Fei sent troops to Zhaozhou, although he broke the siege and killed the enemy, but more than 2,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, which made him always feel a little uneasy in his heart.
There are 30,000 or 40,000 gold soldiers in the Daimyo's Mansion, and it seems that it is clear who will lead the army.
"Zhang Xianggong rest assured, after dealing with the war in the Daimyo's Mansion, the official will return to Hedong to deal with the Jurchen army on the Western Road, and he has no leisure to stay here."
Zhang Jun's face was slightly red, and he made a decision in an instant.
"The Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army can be commanded by Xianggong, like a tiger with wings, and the lower officials will thank Wang Xianggong for the imperial court!"
Wang Song breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this Zhang Jun was not as stubborn as other scholars in the court, and he knew the priority of things.
"Yue Fei and his subordinates will see Xianggong."
In the tent of the commander of the camp of the Loyal and Righteous Army next to the water, Yue Fei led the generals of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army to come forward and see Wang Song.
"Brothers, excuse me."
Wang Song looked at Yue Fei and said with a smile: "Brother Yue, you fought a good first battle, you killed Yan Zonghan's son, broke the golden soldiers of Zhaozhou, and solved the crisis of Zhaozhou." You write down the report, turn around and let Zhang Xianggong play the court, and the brothers will be rewarded for their meritorious deeds. ”
Yue Fei's face turned red, and he bowed solemnly: "After the war in Linwei Town, the imperial court kept urging him, and the villain has written a document to report the victory and played it with the imperial court. didn't have time to report to the public, and looked forward to the public punishment. ”
Wang Song nodded, his eyes swept over Zhang Jun next to him, and saw that his face was calm, as if he took it for granted.
Wang Song didn't care about this matter, since the imperial court had urged this matter, Zhang Jun was the supervisor of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army, so why should he be embarrassed by Yue Fei.
"Yue Dutong, I discussed with Wang Xianggong just now, the war in the Daimyo's Mansion will be commanded by Wang Xianggong, assisted by you, do you have anything to say?"
Yue Fei was relieved, let out a sigh of relief, and stepped forward and said, "Everything is based on the military orders of the two ministers."
Zhang Jun nodded slightly. I thought that Yue Fei was reluctant, but I didn't expect the matter to be solved so easily.
He couldn't help but worry again, it seemed that Wang Song was still haunted in the Hebei Loyal Army.
Xu Qing, Wang Gui and the others below all showed disappointment on their faces. And Dong Xian, Niu Tong and others were happy.
"Brothers, I came here today, I think you already know what it is."
Wang Song looked at the generals below who had different thoughts, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
"The Daimyo's Mansion is an important town, and you must not fall into the hands of the enemy. Wanyan Zongbi is a famous general of the Jin people, with strong soldiers and strong horses, and I am really uneasy in my heart. The Daimyo's Mansion stayed behind Du Chong's incompetence, if the Jin people attacked, this person would not be able to hold on, and the Daimyo's Mansion would either abandon or surrender to the Jin people. ”
He raised his head and said solemnly: "I want to lead the brothers to kill the thieves, solve the danger of the Daimyo's mansion, and ensure that the city of Tokyo is safe."
Wang Song's words made the faces of the generals below look different, and Xu Qing, Wang Gui and others shook their heads secretly. More generals bowed their heads and remained silent.
Yue Fei also frowned, bowing his head and pondering, not knowing what was going on in his heart.
"Xianggong, the villain thinks that it is quite inappropriate to attack the Jin soldiers of the Daimyo Mansion at this moment."
After a moment, Xu Qing stood up.
Wang Song smiled slightly. Hebei Zhongyi Army, the water in it is not shallow.
Yue Fei looked at Wang Song and hurriedly scolded: "Xu Qing, don't hurry up and retreat, be rude in front of Xianggong!"
"Xu Qing, but it doesn't hurt to say it, there are no outsiders here, if you have something to say, you can say it, and the official will listen to you."
Wang Song's face was calm, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
"Wang Xianggong, the Jin people are powerful, and most of our army are recruits. The Jin people just looted, and after the robbery, they would retreat. Our army and the Jin people confronted each other head-on, not to mention heavy losses, and there was a possibility that the entire army would be wiped out. ”
"I think you're greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Before Xu Qing's words fell, Dong Xian had already stood up with a black face, hugged his fists and said:
"Xianggong, wherever the Jin people go, the lives of the people are miserable, and the people are not happy. Please give the order of the prime minister, and the last general is willing to be the striker and fight to the death with Fanzi. ”
Niu Tong also stood up, hugged his fists and said: "Although the prime minister has ordered, the last general is willing to be the striker and kill the majesty of Fanzi!"
Wang Song looked at his subordinates, and most of the generals were silent, it seemed that he had come to the right place this time.
Sure enough, Wang Gui stood up and bowed solemnly: "Xianggong, the enemy is strong and I am weak, I ride against each other, and I hope that Xianggong will not be impulsive, the overall situation is important."
Wang Song stood up abruptly and said sharply:
"What is the importance of the overall situation, what is not impulsive, if your parents, wife and children are under the captivity of the Jurchens, do you still have the face to say this here?"
Xu Qing and Wang Gui blushed, and they wanted to step forward to argue, but Chen Guang stopped them with his eyes.
Wang Song's eyes were cold, he looked at Xu Qing, and scolded sharply: "Xu Qing, who gave you the guts to march without waiting for the scouts to come back, and who let you open the way to the heaven-shaking thunder to test the enemy's situation?" You caused the innocent death of nearly a thousand soldiers, and do you still have the face to shout in front of the court?"
Xu Qing's face turned red, and he had to argue, Wang Song's words split his head and covered his face.
His eyes coldly swept over the people below, making people shudder.
"Don't think that this official will only blindly endure it, don't think that this official will not kill the killer! Tell you, if this official wants to kill a few incompetent people, no one will be able to make it difficult for this official!"
His voice suddenly became louder, thunderous.
"Xu Qing, do you want to try it? Which of you would like to try it?"
