Wang Yan was not promoted and reused in the Hedong Army, but this also made it convenient for him to engage in spy work to make friends and win over the generals of the army without attracting attention.

Yes, he was already a member of the Cangzhao Empire before he joined the army, and he was specially ordered by Zhao Yue to find and identify it, specially accepted and cultivated.

Zhao Yue was not familiar with history and did not know much about the Liao, Western Xia and other countries in the Song Dynasty, but he still knew that there were those prominent figures who could stir up the storm at the end of the Song Dynasty.

As a cattle man in history, Wang Yan does have extraordinary potential, and he also lives up to expectations, and plays a big role in the major events of plotting against the family army.

Among the officers and generals in the army, which one is worthy of the empire's acceptance, Wang Yan is very convenient to find out in the army, and he can rely on it to make friends with his real skills.......

.............

The Hedong Incident spread to Taiyuan in the east.

Zhang Xiaochun, the envoy of Hedong Xuanfu and the governor of Taiyuan Mansion, and Wang Yu, the deputy governor of the capital, were all taken aback.

Previously, it was also known that the pirates had sacked the Liao State, and they divided their troops to sack the Western Xia and threatened to eradicate the Western Xia Xiaoqiang forever in a war. They really couldn't understand why pirates were so arrogant and powerful, and they could take care of two, no, three powers.

Doesn't it mean that in the summer war, Tai Lieutenant Gao Yu and others fought out the main force of the pirates at the heavy cost of 400,000 elite forbidden troops?

Didn't the imperial court say that since Gao Taiwei's great achievements in the First World War, the pirates had lost their military vitality, and it was impossible to wantonly invade the Great Song Dynasty for years or even decades after that?

This....... What the hell is going on?

What's the problem?

Is it Gao Yu, a ruffian and scoundrel, who was wiped out and defeated but told a big lie to cover up his big crime, the fact did not damage the strength of the pirates at all, or did the pirate country have strange people and even gods to help him, and he could magically train and transform the rotten army in the inland places that fled from the Song Dynasty into a strong army that could defeat the strong army of Western Xia without resistance, similar to the strong army of the heavenly soldiers?

But at this time, it was Zhang Xiaochun himself who was under the pressure of pirate threats and blackmail.

Wang Yu's main duty was not to guard Taiyuan, and he was not in Taiyuan, but to use Taiyuan heavy troops to unite with another general, Xin Xingzong, with the local army...... Encirclement and suppression of Tian Hu. In fact, it is as ...... as possible Containment...... Tian Hujun can't easily expand his territory.

I can't stop it.

Tian Hu now has a lot of bandits and fierce generals, and the bandit soldiers are also fierce and daring to fight. However, the officers and soldiers were too many soldiers to fight hard, so they could only try to block the ......

Wang Yu's side easily took the opportunity of the immigration frenzy to suppress Tian Hu's arrogance and ferociousness to expand his military might, and at this time he could not and did not dare to withdraw his troops back to Taiyuan easily.

In this way, the prefect Zhang Xiaochun was bitterly compared.

There were not many soldiers at hand, and the pirates were said to be no less than 100,000....... Cavalry, and powerful weapons, breaking a city is as easy as eating noodles......

He held in his hand a piece of paper, a notice of extortion from the pirates, and looked at the gold, silver, cloth, and other goods listed on it, as well as the corrupt officials and unscrupulous profiteers who had escaped the immigration frenzy that the pirates wanted to teach and loot....... Names and a list of his possessions, he was silent for a long time...... The difficulty is here, and I really don't know how to deal with it.

Don't agree, ignore the pirates' blackmail, the pirates are extremely fierce and have revenge, which angered the pirates, Taiyuan this ........

But if you agree and give in to the pirates, how can you explain to the court? How can you ask the people listed by the pirates to go bankrupt and hand over their belongings, including beautiful wives, concubines, and maidservants.......

Zhang Hao, the son of his son who helped him guard the important town of Taiyuan, looked at his father's wrinkled pessimistic face, and couldn't bear to see his father like this, so he couldn't help but shout: "Dad, why are you embarrassed to be like this? The pirates can ransack the Liao country, but it is just a trick to deceive the Liao country to be extremely empty, if the Liao army does not go north, how dare he rob the Liao? ”

"What if the pirates are really fierce? It's a big deal, let's fight with him. Taiyuan is the strongest city in the north, the defense equipment is excellent and sufficient, there are not many soldiers in the city at the moment, but the people are united, and the surrounding troops that can be called and can come to support add up to no less than 100,000, according to the strong city is enough to fight with pirates, how can Taiyuan be so easy to break? ”

"Besides, if pirates are indeed as powerful as the legend says, then there is the Northern Army."

"Pirates have done such evil is already the biggest threat to my Great Song Dynasty, and the court hates it the most. In terms of the military status of preventing the Liao army from invading our dynasty in the south, Taiyuan is more important than the Daimyo's mansion, and it is also the need of the imperial court to ensure that Taiyuan is not lost. This time, the pirates were so arrogant that they abandoned their superiority on the water and went deep into the interior, and if they could not be advantageous, they would flee to the sea if they were in danger, and it could be said that when the dragon was trapped in the shallows, the imperial court was definitely willing to use all its strength to take the opportunity to clean up the main force of the pirates. The 100,000 border troops on the West Hebei Road will be able to come to the rescue of Taiyuan and jointly encircle and suppress the pirates......"

In history, Zhang Xiaochun cooperated with the main general Wang Yu Wang Xun and his son to resist the 100,000 beast Jin army led by Wanyan Zonghan, who was the most capable of fighting, and defended Taiyuan, and King Zhang created a glorious record of the Northern Song Dynasty army that was unbearable but defended the city for more than 250 days. Zhang Xiaochun performed well in the battle to defend the city, and Wang Yu would rather die than surrender, in Taiyuan City, Wang Yu's father and son were killed, he was captured by the Jin army and still refused to surrender, but in the end ...... But because of the reason of "not to", it is still ...... It was lowered, and it was out of control, proving that when a traitor became a great talent, he helped the Jin State to govern the territory of the Song State that was occupied by the Song State with extraordinary political achievements, and created a solid logistics foundation for the Jin army to repeatedly invade the Southern Song Dynasty, and made great contributions to the Jin army, so that Zhang Xiaochun wanted to return to his homeland and die in his hometown when he was old, and the Jin State could not bear to refuse and let him go, and the Southern Song Dynasty also showed the most prominent and essential characteristics of the Song Dynasty to such a big traitor - cowardice and reluctance, and allowed Zhang Xiaochun to write books in the Song Realm....... Spend your old age in abundance and comfort.......

There were too many such strange things in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Resolute resistance factions like Yue Fei and Han Shizhong deserve to die, and when traitors help the abuse, it is the Southern Song Dynasty that is more understanding, sympathetic, tolerant, and even honorable....... It's incredible.

This seems to be a kind of Chinese tradition, and later generations have also emerged to question the revolutionary martyrs but for the historical conclusion of the great traitors of the past dynasties to bravely and persistently overturn the case, and the big banner is still: seeking truth from facts, dividing into two materialist dialectics. It is said that traitors also have great advantages worthy of being learned, and being a traitor is forced by the helplessness of history at that time, and there are objective reasons, and it is not subjective that he wants to be a traitor and seek wealth and wealth....... The implication is that being a traitor is understandable and sympathetic, and should be understood and tolerated......

It's just that how can the underground heroic spirits of those warriors and martyrs who would rather die than give in, and do whatever it takes to protect their families and defend their families, so that the bloodline and civilization of the Han nation can be passed on?

These warriors and martyrs have no family members who are being coerced by the Jin army and need him to surrender to be rescued? Is there no "must not" suffer?

"My generation of scholars" always like to engage in the so-called "promoting good and hiding evil" for the ancients under the banner of Confucius and Mencius, and like to cover up the evil of the wicked. This so-called Confucianism is the moderation of forgiveness, broad benevolence...... The core essence of Chinese's spiritual civilization. To put it bluntly, there are too many "scholars of my generation" who have been traitors in history, and they have to conceal their evil and promote their merits, otherwise Confucianism will become black and despicable, and there will be no foundation for existence, so that future generations of contemporary scholars will have no place to stand, and they will also have the right to surrender when they encounter such a disaster.

Do you not think about yourself when you blame others?

Predecessors, others can surrender to avoid disasters and enjoy wealth as traitors and traitors, and future generations can overturn the case and clear their name, you also have to consider this for yourself (and future generations).

Therefore, don't condemn traitors and traitors for holding on to historical crimes.

That's the kind of psychology.

Therefore, there are objective reasons for emphasizing being a traitor. This is pure.

Who is not living in reality and is bound by various objective factors such as family affection?

Who is especially unwilling to be prosperous and rich, but only likes to suffer and resist the enemy?

Could it be that the martyrs are all jumping out of stones, and they are the lonely stars of the heavens who should endure all kinds of hardships and die bravely without concern? Traitors and traitors are concerned about the safety of their relatives, and they are the first to obey filial piety, worthy of forgiveness and praise by future generations?

No one has defended the Chinese nation with iron backbone, and those who have the words to question or even deny the martyrs but sing the praises of traitors and traitors can still have the opportunity to overturn the arguments of the case? Their ancestors had already died under the butcher's knife and brutal slavery of the alien race, how could there be descendants like him born? If you can be born, it is also designated as a hell of a ghost.

It's just that when you are a descendant of a ghost, if you still dare to threaten to overturn the case, I am afraid that you will be reincarnated as a ghost animal by the resentment of countless heroic and invincible martyrs and warriors......

A traitor is a traitor, and if he has any excuse, he is also an ugly and criminal person who betrayed his ancestors and harmed his own people, and he is a condemned person who should be constantly trampled on ten thousand feet. Otherwise, it is a denial of the actual existence of the Chinese nation and the Han civilization, and a denial of the national rationality of our own existence as we are living......

When there is nothing to do, he leisurely enjoys everyone's blood and sweat to be a majestic official, and when there is something to do, he betrays the interests and net worth of the donor and surrenders to become a traitor, not only does not bravely defend the donor, but instead steps on it, helping the alien race to harm the donor more ferociously and powerfully, which is not good. It's not that cheap. You can't get used to it.

In the event of a national disaster, if there is an official who dares to surrender and betray the country, everyone will immediately kill him. Who's stupider than whom? Why do you enjoy the benefits. If you want to be a traitor, you must first kill the most powerful person who enjoys too much wealth and the blood and sweat of the people, and cut off the one who can occupy the majority of interests, and then everyone ...... Be a traitor and share the benefits of traitors together (laughs)

As for Zhang Hao, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, he also mixed up with the general level of the unified army who was about the same as the general of the six divisions of the Western Army, but he ...... Anti-gold always cowered and didn't dare to move forward...... Then his father descended.....

In short, even he is not as good as Lao Tzu.

At this moment, Zhang Hao's words are so domineering, backbone, and ...... Wisdom and insight, just young and vigorous, has not experienced the cruelty of war and frightened courage, but also "my generation of scholars" when the knife is not on the neck, they are accustomed to selling their mouths and showing the spirit of our generation of scholars and the so-called anti-enemy struggle scheming wisdom and clever means......

However, the conceited soft power of "Confucianism teaches my generation of scholars" can only exert its authority internally and externally...... If the fart is not used, it will be staged clearly when the Jin army kills.

It's just that as long as you survive the war and disaster, you won't accept the lesson.

Zhang Xiaochun naturally does not know the fate of his father and son in history, and is limited by the solid quality and insight of "my generation of scholars", and it is impossible to realize the shortcomings that he and his son will expose when they fall into a national disaster. But he is a very capable and experienced official, and when he looks at his young and vigorous son, he can only smile bitterly.

Taiyuan people are united?

Who is the heart of the people of the Great Song Dynasty now, I am afraid of it...... It's hard to say. The recent migration frenzy has clearly demonstrated that people are on the back of their minds.

The army around Taiyuan?

Hebei West Road Side Army?

Can it be trusted?

Even if they are loyal to the court, do they dare to face the pirates head-on?

What's the use of having more troops?

In terms of the number of troops, the Great Song Dynasty should have overthrown the Liao State a long time ago, let alone the small Xixia, and in turn bowed to others to pay tribute to buy peace?

Wang Yu is capable, and Xin Xingzong, both of them are famous generals, but such generals and soldiers can't even clean up the little vulgar and untouchable anti-thief Tian Hu. Fight against the pirate armies of pirate nations that have become the climate or are in full swing? Hi! ...... I don't dare to think about it, I still think of any good thing that can be annihilated by fighting, it's ridiculous to dream......

I didn't see the brave and united army of the Fold family, but it was vulnerable in the hands of pirates, and it was actually a bang in the blink of an eye...... All surrendered, and in turn they were loyal and brave to the Great Song Dynasty?

Hard resistance will definitely not be able to resist the might of pirates.

According to the distinctive style of pirates, whoever dares to be tough will be resolutely perished. If there is a fluke or a loyal monarch who is patriotic and would rather die unyieldingly, the fate of Taiyuan people is unimaginable...... Only those upper-class families who are now living proudly in society are afraid that they will not be able to protect the foundation of their wealth this time, and even the lives of the Manchus will have to be put on the line......

And this also includes his Zhang family...... And it is the first to bear the brunt of the revenge that will be focused on by the pirates......

So, just like in history, Zhang Xiaochun mobilized troops to blockade Taiyuan City, and while the news was not leaked, the family on the list of pirates was strictly forbidden to escape. You can't let the pirates down, otherwise you will definitely think that the Taiyuan government is clever, and it belongs to the ridiculous diehards who are trying to compete with the pirates..... The butcher's knife was swung down ferociously. Then, he convened an emergency meeting of all the civil and military backbone bureaucrats in Taiyuan and the family representatives on the list to discuss whether to fight to the death or honestly hand over money to save their lives......

I don't decide anything, I'll let you all discuss it for yourselves.

It is your own choice to decide whether you want to die or money, and you can't blame your own officials for being selfish....... will not be held accountable by the court in the resentment of the loser......

Of course, the reason for the lockdown is to prevent pirates from infiltrating and causing trouble, not to trap people and not escape.

If you want to escape, you can't escape even if you are afraid. It would only be foolish to take the initiative to gather the belongings of the family, making it easier for the pirates to rob and loot everything outside the city.

Judging from the previous actions of the pirates, they always planned and then acted, which can be called far-sighted.

Now that the extortion letter has arrived, the pirates must have already laid out the means to deal with the change.

The civil and military, the wealthy families, the rich gentry, and the wealthy merchants in the hall...... These dignified people in Taiyuan, who were powerful or had big families and big businesses, and had made a fortune in the past, were ...... as soon as they heard about pirate extortion The collective was all blown up and blinded...... Fierce shouting, some clamoring for resolute resistance, some shouting for disobedience, and some trembling in fear and wanting to give in..... The quarrel was fierce and chaotic...... The noisy face is red and the neck is thick, and the spit is splashing, and the mouth is dry..... In the end, they were as soft and soft as defeated roosters......

The pirates did have an ambush, and the cavalry appeared outside the city in a blink of an eye, and it seemed that there were not many people coming, but, who knows?

The pirates themselves are afraid that there are 100,000, and with the huge strength of the betrayed Orijia army, it is not difficult to break through Tokyo with the strength of manpower and troops...... I dare not imagine.

Who would dare to go out and spy on the truth or even fight?

When a cannonball exploded on the city, all kinds of clamors in Taiyuan City resolutely could not bow their heads and resolutely could not offer wealth and beauty...... Can't get used to pirates, can't ...... It's all out...... The pirates were loaded with them, leaving the city full of powerful beggars......

What they didn't know was that the pirates only came with such a small number of cavalry, and their main energy was to sweep the Western Army, and extorting Taiyuan was just a convenient try.......

Indeed, the human heart is untested......
