Chapter 002: Wushen Spring (II)
On the rugged mountain road, the spring mud stained shoes, a pair of forty or fifty Song troops were defeated, full of ambition, and were happily moving forward.
Although the clothes on their bodies were tattered, the spirit of each of the routs was quite strong, especially the rout soldiers behind, who were still carrying two crying women on their shoulders. As the rout walked away, they groped around the bodies of the two women with lewd faces.
"After the Taihang Cheng in front, our brothers will go to the Yellow River. After crossing the Yellow River, near Gyeonggi, and entering the city of Tokyo, that is the world of our brothers. When the time comes, I will take my brothers to eat, drink and have fun. ”
The tall, lanky man who took the lead was soothing, not like a sergeant, but like a playboy.
"Yanai, after returning to Tokyo City, our brothers will all rely on Yanai!"
The defeated soldier next to him smiled with a smile on his face, nodded his head, and flattered the tall and thin man.
Another rout munched on the meat and complained: "I've had enough of this hellish place in Hedong!" In the past few months, people are not like people, ghosts are not like ghosts, these poor ghosts, there is nothing, it is really disappointing!"
Yanai said coldly: "These village girls and foolish women are rude, but they are all fierce women, and they have a bit of taste. Those Diao people, don't give them some cruelty, they don't know how powerful our brothers are! ”
A defeated soldier nodded and said, "That's it, that's it!" If you don't kill a few, I really don't know that Lord Ma has three eyes, happy! ”
Suddenly, on the side of the mountain road, many soldiers wearing scarves and iron armor appeared, these people stretched their bows and arrows, and swords in their hands, surrounded the defeated soldiers in the middle.
On the mountain road, Dong Xianqi said: "Xianggong, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, except for a few people, I don't know where they died." I think they can't wait to go out of Beijing!"
"There is an official family to send you in person, are you still not satisfied?"
Wang Song smiled: "Isn't it that the Qinglou courtesan in Tokyo City has messed up your heart!"
Niu Tong laughed and said, "Xianggong, you're talking about Yelugan." He married a Tokyo woman, and in less than half a year, he should have a queen!"
"You, your mouth is not solid at all!"
Yelu glared at Niu Tong, quietly glanced at Wang Song, and found that his face was not different, so he settled down.
He married a woman surnamed Li and dissolved his music membership, which also relied on Wang Song. His wife was five months pregnant, and when he returned from the expedition, the child should be born.
"Brother Jerry!"
Wang Song turned around and said: "When the child is born, he will be surnamed Yelu, which also shows that your Yelu family has a queen." When the time comes, bring all your relatives and friends to Tokyo City, and everyone will have a good time!"
Yelu was overjoyed, hugged his fists and said, "The villain is grateful to Xianggong!"
"It's all my own brothers, so it's so good!"
Wang Song waved his hand and continued to move forward.
Zhang Heng said in a low voice: "Brother Yelu, you are treated very well, and even your house in Tokyo City is his own money. Be loyal and righteous first, you must not do anything that is sorry for the public!"
Yelu was solemn, stood up and said in a low voice: "Brother, just rest assured, if Yelu is half-hearted, the sky will thunder and thunder, and he will not die well!"
"Xianggong, I came across a group of routs who had just ransacked a village, killed a lot of people, and ruined women. Kill a few people, and the rest are caught, waiting to be dropped!"
Niu Gao came over to pray, interrupting Wang Song's meditation.
"Router?"
Wang Song was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "Who are these defeated soldiers, and how can they appear here?"
"Back to the minister, the villain has already been tried, and these people are the defenders of the villages in Tianjing Pass."
Niu Gao replied: "The Jin people went south and took control of the banks of the Yellow River, and these people were isolated in the east of the river. Now that most of the Jin people have evacuated, these people have gone south to return to Bianjing. ”
It is no wonder that he is so respectful to Wang Song. His mother and wife were taken into the city of Tokyo, and with Wang Song's mediation and help, the family finally had a house in Tokyo.
It is not easy to live in Tokyo, and that mansion alone is something he never dared to think of, let alone a five-grade general.
He couldn't forget the moment when his wife and his wife moved into the mansion and burst into tears. Wang Song let him get ahead, a family of fine clothes and food, he naturally wanted to make military exploits to repay his great kindness.
The grace of knowing the encounter and the friendship of brotherhood can't help but make him not grateful to Wang Song and be willing to be enslaved.
Wang Song nodded and said, "Escort these people to the victim village and hand them over to the villagers for distribution."
Niu Gao hesitated: "Xianggong, these people did not surrender to the enemy. There are the sons of the prime ministers of Tokyo City, and there is a nephew who claims to be Li Gang's own family, do you think you should think about it again?"
Wang Song lowered his face and said, "General Niu, the execution of military orders is it!"
"The villain obeys!"
Niu Gao was frightened and hurried away.
Wang Lun next to him hesitated and said: "Xianggong, Xianggong Li is the leader of the Qing Dynasty in the imperial court, do you want to open up to his descendants, and everyone will see each other in the future."
"The ancients said that the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light."
Wang Song shook his head and said, "Brother Wang Lun, if this official lets go of these beasts, what kind of face will he have to face the victimized people!"
"The loyal and righteous army entered Hedong and Hebei, not only to expel the Jin people, but also to restore the people's livelihood and prosper all industries. If there is no support from the people, the rear is unstable, not only will it be difficult to supply food and grass, but I am afraid that our army will fall into the danger of being isolated and helpless. ”
Wang Song pointed at the reckless north with a horsewhip and said: "In a war, we must not go deep alone, we must rely on a stable rear. The will of the people is fundamental, and no one can destroy it! In the past, the officers and the army were repeatedly defeated because they fought alone, not because the army and the people were united. How can you be undefeated!"
Wang Lun sighed and said quietly: "Xianggong is far-sighted and thoughtful, and the villain admires him!"
Wang Song looked at the soldiers around him, and said in a deep voice: "Brothers, when you encounter these evil thieves who harm the people, it goes without saying that he is Li Gang's cousin, he is Li Gang's own son, Li Gang is his father, and this official will not be spared!" All of you must also take this as a warning, and you must not oppress the good, harm the people, or break the military rules!"
A group of generals next to him bowed together on the horse and said, "Obey the teachings of the Prime Minister!"
Niu Gao escorted a group of routed soldiers and headed towards the village in front. The defeated soldiers cried one by one, cried their fathers and called their mothers, were tied to their horses, and staggered forward.
The tall and thin man was dragged forward, and pleaded, "This general, please raise your noble hand and put it down." When the villain returns to Tokyo City, he will definitely say a few kind words for you in front of his uncle, and ensure that you are a high-ranking official, what do you think?"
Seeing that Niu Gao Tie blushed and didn't speak, he just beat the horse forward, and the thin and tall man couldn't help crying.
He knelt down abruptly and pleaded, "General, please, let the villain live!" The villain finally escaped from the hands of the golden man, and the villain didn't want to die! ”
Niu Gao "snapped" the whip, and the screams sounded, and there was an extra whip mark on the thin and tall man's face.
Niu Gao scolded: "Straight lady thief, you don't want to die, those people deserve to die?" Besides, I'll beat you to death!"
Niu Gao beat his horse to the entrance of the village, but before entering the village, from the path between the villages, a group of villagers armed with knives, guns and sticks, rushed out of the village, the momentum was violent, and it seemed that there were at least dozens of people.
A young man led by him saw Niu Gao and the others, stepped forward and said loudly: "The black man on the horse, are you dog thieves who killed the villagers in the village?" Hurry up and hand over the sergeant who committed the murder, or I'll fight with you!"
"I'm fighting with you!"
Although the people behind were afraid of the prestige of Niu Gao and others and did not dare to step forward, no one flinched.
Niu Gao said loudly: "What a twitter, stop me all about it!" "
The villagers were all startled, stopped and stopped talking, but just clenched the stick in their hands and looked at Niu Gao together.
"Don't be afraid, folks, we are the loyal and righteous army of Hedong, and we are the subordinates of Wang Song and Wang Xianggong, the Xuanfu envoy of Lianghe and Shaanxi."
Seeing the villagers who came to calm down, Niu Gao pointed to the bound rout soldiers and said, "These birdmen are all routs who ran back from the front line, and they are not soldiers of my loyal army at all. My prince asked me to send these beasts to you, do you understand?"
The villagers were also a little weak-minded, after all, if they wanted to fight the army, they had to fight them.
Now when they heard that they were not all the way to these murderous and evil routs, they were overjoyed and came up to worship: "Thank you general for upholding justice for the villains!"
A young man in the lead came up, hugged his fists and said: "Dare to ask if the loyal army that the general just mentioned is the subordinates of Wang Song and Wang Xianggong, who killed countless Jin people, killed several Jin generals, and caused the gold thief Wanyan Zongwang to be injured and killed, and rescued Wang Song and Wang Xianggong in Tokyo City?"
Niu Gao's heart was relieved for a while, and the title of "General" made him feel lost suddenly, and his chest unconsciously straightened up.
He really couldn't imagine that after several battles, the Loyal and Righteous Army was already famous all over the world, and if he didn't get it right, he could also leave his name in history.
"It turns out that you also know about the Loyal Army. Yes, we are the loyal army, and Wang Xianggong is in front! ”
Niu Gao said loudly to the villagers in front of him:
"There is revenge, there is revenge! These beasts will be handed over to you, and you will dispose of them yourselves!"
More and more villagers, men and women, young and old, poured into the village. Niu Gao waved his hand, and the soldiers pushed the pale soldiers out and handed them to the villagers.
The people of Hedong are fierce, and there are many martial arts practitioners. The people scolded and stepped forward, swords, guns and clubs were raised, and the defeated soldiers screamed again and again, and gradually fell silent.
The villagers thanked Niu Gao together, and Niu Gao waved his hand and said: "The villagers have suffered, and this is what our loyal and righteous army should do." Let's go back, everybody!"
The villagers dispersed, but the young men who took the lead stayed, as if they had something to say.
"Why do you guys refuse to disperse?"
Seeing that a few young men did not disperse, Niu Gao couldn't help but be surprised: "If it's okay, General Ben will go back to report to Xianggong."
The young man who took the lead was full of thick eyebrows and heroic spirit, and he hugged his fists and said: "Dare to ask the general, whether your army wants to go north and seize Tianjing Pass?"
Niu Gao couldn't help but be stunned, and blurted out: "You man, who is your surname, how do you know that we are going to seize Tianjing Pass, do you have any way?"
The young man hugged his fists and said: "The villain Li Jin is a native of Jinzhou, a villager of the "Zhongyi Society". The villain has a plan to help the general seize this danger, which can be said to be as easy as a finger. ”
Niu Gao was overjoyed and said: "This is very good, you will go with me and meet the prince of the king!"
With the help of these local people, seizing the dangerous pass, maybe it is really as this man said, it is within reach!
