Chapter 363: Yang Miaozhen
Wanyan Zongbi, who was far outside Bianliang City, didn't know very well what was going on in the court, on the one hand, the eldest brother Wanyan Zonggan's instructions not to rashly attack the city, and on the other hand, His Majesty's decree must attack the city, and now he is in a dilemma.
Delay, how long can His Majesty's decree be delayed? Wanyan Zongbi is one of the first two big, after all, what the eldest brother said is right, the current situation is obvious, once the Jin army enters Bianliang City, then the Han army will besiege the city 100%. If there is a duel in the field, Wanyan Zongbi still has the confidence to defeat the Han army, but defending the city, hehe, he himself has no good way.
Dilemma, this is a big taboo in the military, but Wanyan Zongbi really can't make up his mind for a while. If he does this, he will be in a hurry to complete Yan Yinshuke, complete Yan Lou Room, complete Yan Yanmu, complete Yan Zonghan and other generals.
Especially Wanyan Zonghan, who had been captured by the Han army, he was anxious to be ashamed of the shame before the snow, he just needed a big victory, he strongly advocated the siege of the city, and even proposed that once he entered the city, he led an army of 100,000 to block the Han army outside the city.
When the Jin army was arguing over whether to attack the city, the first, second, and third armies of the Han army had surrounded the Jin army from three sides, and now the total strength of the Han army had reached 600,000, and it was ready to start a war against the Jin army, but the Han army was still waiting.
Liu Zhenglong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, never thought of starting a war with the Jin army immediately, it was still unwise for him to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army now, this war was definitely a defeat for both sides, if Zhao Gou'er took the opportunity to attack the Han State, then the Han army would fall into a two-front battle, which was very dangerous.
The Han army is the most valuable wealth of the Han Empire, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty is not willing to unify the world at the expense of the Han army, but to choose the smallest sacrifice to complete the unification.
The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is now preparing with both hands, that is, in the case of the Jin army conquering the city, how to surround the Jin army and finally complete the annihilation, if that is the case, he can wave his army north to destroy the Jin country. After all, the main force of the Jin State was all hit in Bianliang, and once it was destroyed, then the Jin State would not be able to fight again.
The reason why Chai was sent into the Jin Kingdom was to force Wanyan Wu to buy an order, let Wanyan Zongbi attack the city as soon as possible, and then surround it in Bianliang City, of course, the emperor of the Han Dynasty also knew that this situation would not necessarily be realized, so he prepared a second-hand plan, that is, to fight to the death.
Of course, there is another situation, that is, Wanyan Zongbi did the opposite, not attacking Bianliang City, but chose to attack the Han army, and the decisive battle of Jin broke out in advance.
In the course of the confrontation between the two armies, the Han army still accepted and incorporated the rebel army, of course, giving the same treatment as the Han army, reorganizing those who are qualified, and distributing military expenses to those who are not qualified, so that they can return to their hometowns. This is very different from the Great Song Dynasty, before the Great Song Dynasty only needed the righteous army Qin Wang to save the driver, did not recognize its legal status, did not give any supplies, grain and grass, and did not be absorbed. The gap between the two made the leaders of the rebel army gradually accept the leadership of the Han army.
Among the rebels who surrendered, the most famous was the eight-character army led by Wang Yan, the former commander of Hebei Zhaofu Sidu, as well as Yang An'er, the rebel army led by Yang Miaozhen's brothers and sisters, Li Xianzhong, etc. It's just that Wu Jue, Wu Lin, and Yu Yunwen still chose to leave with the Zhao family as orthodoxy, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty still gave them enough food and salary, which can be regarded as a reward for their loyalty and bravery.
Wu Lin was a little puzzled, and he said to his brother Wu Jue: "The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty abandoned the city and fled, and he was in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, which can no longer be regarded as orthodox, and the unification of the Han Dynasty is the trend of the times, brother, why do you still choose to be loyal to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
"Then why do you say that the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty knows that we are going down to Jiangnan to be loyal to the Zhao family, and he still wants to pay us military salaries?"
"In order to buy people's hearts!" Wu Lin worships the strong, and he doesn't care about these little tricks of buying people's hearts, he wants to take refuge in the Han State because the Han army is strong and wants to betray the Song State, and he dies because the Song army is weak and has nothing to do with the purchase.
Wu Jue shook his head, he said with a wry smile: "Second brother, you think things are too simple, the Han has millions of soldiers and thousands of generals, so why buy people's hearts." The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty appreciates the loyal and righteous, not the grass on the wall. Those rebels themselves were outcasts, not the Song army, and they were only given a legal identity, and there was no such thing as loyalty. And you and I are the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, leading the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, if we take refuge in the past, won't we become grass on the wall, how can we be reused? Besides, the great Han is like a cloud, even if we take refuge in the past, how can we be appreciated by the great Han Emperor? ”
"Big brother, do you get what you mean?"
"Pledge your allegiance to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, defeat the Han army on the battlefield, let the Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty see the true strength of our two brothers, and when the general trend of unification of the world is over, it is not too late to surrender. Defeat those Han generals, we will take refuge in the past, so that we will not be despised.
Seeing that the second brother still didn't understand very well, Wu Jue continued: "The Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty was the god of war at that time, he wanted to unify the world and destroy the Jin State, what he needed was a general who could really take charge of himself and be loyal to the monarch and patriotic, rather than letting the generals mix their qualifications in the army." Sooner or later in the past, there is no inevitable connection between whether you can make contributions and whether you can seal your wife and son. Don't worry, gold always shines. ”
"Okay, I just don't know if the two brothers can really control the army and be in charge of the Song Kingdom, where the civil officials are in charge." Wu Lin was not convinced, but he also felt that what his brother said was right, he should indeed prove his strength with military merits before joining the Han army, instead of taking refuge in the past.
Yu Yunwen is simple, he was originally a scholar in Jiangnan, and there is no one who is loyal, but compared to the Han Dynasty, Yu Yunwen still has a deep affection for the Great Song Dynasty in the civil world, and he is more willing to return to Jiangnan and be more loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. He has no good impression of the Han Kingdom, but this young man also has to admit that if the Great Song Dynasty does not make changes, then the final unification of the world must be the Han Kingdom, and the Great Song Dynasty will completely withdraw from the historical stage.
Liu Zhenglong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, didn't care about the departure of Wu Jue, Wu Lin, and Yu Yunwen, as if he didn't care about Wang Yan, Yang An'er, and Li Xianzhong. The Han Dynasty established the country with military force and military merits, so anyone can be crowned a wife and a son, and if there is no military merit, the emperor's relatives can only have lords, not real power.
The big man has enough money and food to support a group of gentlemen, but the big man does not have a suitable position to support idlers. Even if it is the county magistrate below, the county lieutenants have been strictly assessed by the imperial court, and after taking office, there are still relevant departments to conduct assessment and supervision.
There are scholars who are promoted to the seventh level within a year, and there are also younger brothers of the imperial concubine who are pushed to the end, which is very common in the Han Dynasty, and it has long been strange.
Most people are very satisfied with entering the Han army, but there are still people who are not satisfied, that is, the first female general Yang Miaozhen, she is very angry that the Han Emperor does not pay attention to her brother, and she angrily wants to find Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, for justice.
Shi Zhenqi, the supervisor of the army, was enraged, and he roared angrily at Yang An'er and Yang Miaozhen's two brothers and sisters: "The mud can't support the wall, you are just homeless grass co-ordination, the Han Emperor appreciates your loyalty, co-opts these rogues of yours, and crowns you Yang An'er as the captain of Yilu from the seventh grade, what else do you want, do you want to rebel?" ”
"Then why didn't my sister get a reward?" Yang An'er's eloquence is not very good, and he is relatively easy to be content, so he is already very grateful to the Han Army for accepting him, but he feels that his sister's skills are greater than his own, and he can't say anything without a reward.
Shi Zhenqi looked Yang Miaozhen up and down and said: "This is just a female bird, she can't go to the battlefield, she never has an army, where can she be rewarded." “
"Shut your beak." The sharp-toothed Yang Miaozhen is not as easy to bully as her brother, she roared at Shi Zhenqi: "I also led an army of 50,000 to defect, why is Wang Yan the Dingyuan general of the fifth grade, and my brother is only the captain of the seventh grade." In addition, what female birds are not female birds, you put a clean mouth on the mouth. Many of the ladies of the Han Dynasty have been on the battlefield, and among them, Liu Guifei is also in charge of killing all sides, why can't I have a reward. This must not be the decision of the Son of Heaven, it is you, the dog official, who is hindering it, I want to see Your Majesty, I want to sue you. ”
"Bastard, your brother is just a grass folk rogue, Wang Yan was originally under the control of Hebei Zhaofu Sidu, can the two be compared? One is a bird of prey and the other is a dog, will the treatment be the same? Hearing that Yang Miaozhen was going to sue himself, Shi Zhenqi couldn't help but be furious, and he acted angrily: "What are you, a worthless scumbag, and you dare to compare with the concubine Niangniang, I think you are impatient." Come on, arrest this mother-in-law and beat her fifty. ”
After the rebels defected, they were decomposed by the Han army as soon as possible to avoid farce such as mutiny, which is why Shi Zhenqi dared to order the soldiers to arrest and beat Yang Miaozhen.
The Han army has always been to obey orders as its duty, and the guards brought by Shi Zhenqi were originally converted from the Shi family's private soldiers, and hundreds of people quickly surrounded Yang An'er and Yang Miaozhen in the center.
At this time, Yang An'er understood, he pointed at Shi Zhenqi and said: "It was the Emperor of Heaven of the Han Dynasty who asked you to destroy our brothers and sisters, the army has been reorganized, and it is useless to keep us, right?" ”
"Yes, what you said is right, how can a rogue like you be worthy of staying in the Han army." Shi Zhenqi's lustful gaze was fixed on Yang Miaozhen, and this guy said evilly: "Unless, unless you can marry this official, then everyone will become relatives, and you will be a sparrow flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix." ”
"I'm sorry, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty won't cross the river and tear down the bridge, unload the mill and kill the donkey, it must be you, a womanizer, who is pretending to be a public servant, and I will kill you today." Yang Miaozhen knew that today's fierce battle could not be avoided, so she showed her sword and stabbed at Shi Zhenqi.
Although Shi Zhenqi is greedy for money and lustful, and is domineering, after all, he is from the Shi family and has a good kung fu, this guy took the knife from the guards and went up to fight, and the guards also rushed over.
Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, and heroes can't stand up to many people.
Yang Miaozhen and Yang An'er didn't last long and began to have the upper hand, and the situation was precarious.
"Stop, what do you want to do, why are you fighting in the barracks."
With a roar in the distance, more royal forest troops surrounded him, and at the forefront was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young general, just wearing a golden helmet and wearing gold armor, at a glance, he knew that it was the emperor's eldest son, Liu Chen, the king of Qin, who inherited the excellent genes of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and his combat effectiveness was abnormally strong, quite the demeanor of His Majesty's youth, but because the mother concubine was Li Qingluo, the county lord of Western Xia, it was impossible to be the prince, and he could not stay by the side of the mother concubine since he was a child, and he was raised by the queen Pan Yun since he was a child. Although it is not possible to serve as the crown prince to inherit the unification, but he is favored by the emperor and empress, coupled with his own excellence, he is only sixteen years old and takes charge of 10,000 imperial forest troops, as long as it protects the safety of the royal family.
Liu Chen is upright and resolute, as soon as he came up, he asked the Imperial Forest Army to separate everyone, and when he saw that it was Shi Zhenqi, Liu Chen said: "I don't know what Lord Shi is going to do!" ”
"I'm enforcing military law, so I don't need to worry about the eldest prince." Shi Zhenqi didn't look down on this eldest prince at all, and he didn't give the other party the necessary respect, he pointed at Yang An'er, Yang Miaozhen said: "This pair of brothers and sisters, I think that the official position added by His Majesty is too small, and they didn't give this woman an official position, so they were dissatisfied and wanted to mutiny, so I suppressed it." ”
The suppression of mutiny in the army is indeed the scope of responsibility of Shi Zhenqi, the supervisor in the army, and Liu Chen, the king of Qin, is really hard to say, so he said casually: "Yang An'er, you are so bold, thunder and rain and dew, all for the grace of the king, you actually dislike the official position rewarded by Your Majesty is too small, and you want to mutiny, don't you want to live?" ”。
Yang An'er was clumsy, and she didn't know how to refute it for a while. At this moment, Yang Miao really quit, she knew that this eldest prince was in a high position and was the son of His Majesty, and she would definitely help her own grievances, so she said: "Great prince, you are right, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace." My brother led 50,000 rebels to defect, and only gave a small lieutenant from Qipinyi, and at the same time relieved the army. And Wang Yan also led an army of 50,000 to defect, but he was crowned the general of Dingyuan. Why do you do this, it is rumored that the Han Dynasty established the country with military force and was promoted by military merit, why do you really want to seal it by virtue of your background now, my brother said a few angry words, this dog official is going to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, not only that, he is a dog with a beast heart, but also vainly trying to occupy the slave family, and he also hopes to be the master of the slave family. ”
Liu Chen was in his youth, and he was a little excited when he met a beautiful woman, looking at Yang Miaozhen's appearance of rain hitting pear blossoms, this young man was a little distressed, he waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk." In the Han Dynasty, the army is subordinate to the General Staff Headquarters, not the private property of a certain person, and only when there is a war, will a specific person be assigned to lead the troops to fight, and there is no such thing as dismissing the military power, because the military power is subordinate to the General Staff Headquarters, not to Yang An'er. The iron law of the Han Dynasty is that no general can have his own subordinates. As for the unfair treatment you said, you will be able to show your father. It's just that you gather a crowd to fight, and you will definitely be punished for violating military law. Whoever comes, they will be locked up for three days. ”
