Chapter 394: Northland (14)
Zhi Yuzhong listened to Liu Min say the words "These brutes killed 32 soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion in Tianzhu Ridge, and we want to avenge them"; So he stepped forward and looked at Liu Min, who wanted to shout the word "Aunt Min", but swallowed back when the words came to his mouth.
Zhi Yuzhong did not shout the word "Min Gu", and turned to Lu Chengyu in shock, bowed and said: "The horse beckons the adult, and the young general Zhe Yuzhong asks for it; I am willing to lead 300 folded family troops to intercept and kill the Tartar soldiers, and I hope that it will be allowed! ”
As soon as Zhi Yuzhong's voice fell, General Kan Lang rushed out of the oblique stab.
Kan Lang was the captain of the Imperial Martial Forces, the only one of the 33 people in the Jingzhao Mansion Xiang Army who survived.
Speaking of which, Kan Lang is really a bit of a thief and courage, when Xiao Tzuyong, the king of the Liao Kingdom in Yue, cut off one of his arms with a knife and wanted to kill him; But the arrogant Xiao Tzuyong temporarily changed his mind.
He wanted to leave Kan Lang alive, and wanted this Song army imperial military captain to see with his own eyes how the wolves on the grassland ravaged the Fenghe Cang, Fenggu Cang, and Fengyu Cang built by the Song army in the Xianghe River, and the 300 Khitan warriors were like no one in the mansion of the Great Song Kingdom.
Xiao Tzuyong wanted to kill Kan Lang after he witnessed the glorious "masterpiece" of the wolf warrior of the Great Liao Khitan Kingdom, and asked Kan Lang to report to the Lord of Yama with Zhao Wenchen's 32 brothers.
However, people are not as good as heaven, Xiao Tzuyong's head was cut off by Zhao Yuanzuo; The Liao army's plan to burn the grain and grass of the Song army was ruined because the crematorium deployed by Liu Min buried the evil wolves that had arrived on the grassland.
Kan Lang's arm was brought back to life by Liu Min, and he wanted to avenge the 32 brothers who died on Tianzhu Ridge.
Kan Lang will not forget Xiao Tzuyong, a group of Khitan thieves, who deceived them from the beginning of Yanzhou; deceived 33 of them to Tianzhu Ridge, killed 32 brothers of Zhao Wenchen, a branch official, and cut off 32 heads to hang on wooden poles to feed birds
Shame, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty! The blood of comrades-in-arms cannot be shed in vain, and those who live must return blood for blood and tooth for tooth.
Kan Lang followed the Tianxiang army to the north, just to kill the fleeing Tartar soldiers, and the remnants led by Tart Mahe Gulu escaped from the west; Kan Lang followed behind Zhe Yuzhong and asked for help, saying that he was going to slaughter the tart Ma He Gollum with his own hands.
Lu Chengyu saw that the two generals, Zhe Yuzhong and Kan Lang, were high-spirited and wanted to hear Liu Min's opinions.
Without waiting for Lu Chengyu to speak to Liu Min, he saw Kou Zhun walking forward and laughing; Said: "General Horse, several of our ministers have traveled thousands of miles from the capital to the north by holy order, and they were supposed to persuade the eldest prince to be the crown prince; But it backfired, and we could only return in vain, rather than return in vain, let us see with our own eyes how General Lu Juma led the Tianxiang Army to strangle the Khitans of Liao! ”
Zhao Yuanzuo laughed loudly and said disdainfully: "Lord Kou is a happy person to tell the truth!" Zhao Yuanzuo will never be the prince of the Great Song Dynasty again, adults want to see the killing battle, don't they? It's easy! You followed Xiao Ke to the battlefield and hid in a thatched bush to see how Xiao Ke beheaded the Tartar soldiers; So I can take it back and give good news to my father! ”
Zhao Yuanzuo is teasing Kou Zhun, sobbing and spitting for a while, Kou Zhun has no temper; Whoever made him a Wenchen, he is still good at dancing and writing; If you go to the battlefield and fight the enemy, then you will bow to the wind.
Zhao Yuanzuo put Kou Zhun in a humiliated manner, stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Lord Li is the leader of the seven-member group, Xiao Ke repeats it again: I will not be the prince of the Great Song Dynasty again, you should plan the matter of establishing a prince as soon as possible!" ”
Li Fang saw Zhao Yuanzuo show the last card, and the little fantasy that still existed before finally stalled; sighed with a little regret: "The eldest prince is really temperamental!" Well, the old minister respects your opinion; However, the old ministers did not complete the mission assigned by the emperor, and they could only be punished after returning to Beijing! ”
Li Fang said, raised his arm generously and said, "If you are punished, you will be punished!" If we can see the Tianxiang Army annihilating the Khitan Tartar soldiers, we will not make this trip in vain! ”
After Li Fang said these words, he looked at Lu Chengyu and said, "Can you do it, but the wishes of the old ministers!" Li Fang asked in a tone of seeking kindness, and his attitude seemed very sincere.
Lu Chengyu was a little moved, Li Fang is a scholar of Mingchen University; The compilation of the book "Taiping Guangji" has no ancients before and no one after him, he was originally a small prefect in Chengdu; In order to find Liu Mincai, he came up with the idea of sending 2,000 war horses to the capital.
Unexpectedly, the 2000 War Horse laid the foundation for Lu Chengyu's promotion; Li Fang, such a noble literati, also spoke to him so humbly, Lu Chengyu was so frightened that he didn't know what to do.
Lu Chengyu thought about it in his heart, and hurriedly bowed to Li Fang and said, "Lord Zaifu is humble, you want to watch the Tianxiang Army annihilate the Khitan Tartars!" The lower officials must do their best! ”
Lu Chengyu said impassionedly, glanced at Liu Min and said with a smile: "Miss Yan, are you okay?" ”
Lu Chengyu asked Liu Min in a soliciting tone, not so much asking for instructions as "asking for instructions".
It is not an exaggeration and disparagement to say that Lu Chengyu asked Liu Min for instructions, but that Liu Min is qualified to be asked by Lu Chengyu.
The Tianxiang army was still preparing in the capital, and when he rushed to Kyushu in the north on a certain day; Liu Min thought of many things that Lu Chengyu couldn't have thought of at all.
For example, to build weapons - the weapons equipped by the 800 people of the Tianxiang Army are all in the armory of the capital, but Liu Min thinks this is not good; There are only 800 people in the Tianxiang army to be used as 8,000, and the spirit of one as ten should be supported by weapons.
Liu Min did not ask Lu Chengyu to go to the armory to receive weapons, but personally went deep into the armory workshop to let the craftsmen do it on the spot.
Liu Min made and equipped the Tianxiang army with spears, Mo knives, and crossbow machines.
There are barbs on the spears, saying that if you meet Li Jiqian's iron harrier, you will use the spear barbs to tear it down and then destroy it.
The Mo knife that Liu Min equipped the Tianxiang Army with was refined on the basis of the Mo knife of the Tang Dynasty, and it was a weapon that was neither long nor short; This kind of Mo knife is extremely powerful, and it can slash enemies and horses together.
Liu Min equipped the Tianxiang Army with a repeating crossbow machine of 20 consecutive shots, and 20 crossbow arrows can be fired at one time; The large force that killed and wounded the enemy was unsurpassed.
Liu Min also purchased ten carts of Chinese medicinal materials in the capital and traveled with the army, and came in handy as soon as he came to Jiuwu Mountain and set up a camp.
After the Tianxiang army set out from the capital, the deployment arrangements along the way were almost all Liu Min's ideas; Lu Chengyu, the envoy of the horse, can only be counted as a general manager.
Lu Chengyu police uniform Liu Min, if you talk about age, she is a little more than fourteen years old at the moment, and she is less than fifteen years old; But consciousness is the thinking of later generations of medical doctors in their 30s.
The thinking of later generations of medical doctors was much ahead of Li Fang, who compiled the "Taiping Guangji" in the Song Dynasty, not to mention that medical doctors were well-read; He also experienced the experience of wind, fire, thunder, lightning, ice, hail and rain in Xuanji Cave.
He was also familiar with the piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, martial arts, dance, and various skills in the Qijin Courtyard, and was almost an all-round person.
It is not a piece of cake for an all-powerful person to deploy and command an army of thousands of people.
Lu Chengyu is a self-aware person and knows that he is not as good as Liu Min; and obeyed her.
Liu Min saw Lu Chengyu looking at him and said, "Miss Yan, do you say it's okay?" I couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay! What's wrong with that? The ministers of the DPRK and China formed an observation group to observe the battle between the two armies, and there was a precedent in ancient and modern times; Prime Minister Li and several important ministers finally rushed to the north to let them observe the battle scenes on the battlefield; It's also a good thing to inspire the military! ”
Liu Min said impassionedly: "Just now, General Zhe and General Kan asked for help, I think Master Ma will fulfill them; But you have to let the eldest prince show his talents! ”
Liu Min paused when he said this, and couldn't help but have an idea: "The eldest prince had better intercept the Tartar soldiers with Huyan Jin'er, if you can capture these evil wolves on the grassland alive, let Lord Li bring them back to the capital to report to the emperor; Isn't that a better thing? ”
Liu Min's words have been approved by Li Fang and several people, and Brigadier Kou slapped his palms with a "snapping" sound, and laughed loudly: "Miss Liu Min is just different......
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, took out a wine gourd from his waist a little disguised, opened the lid and took a sip of the lid with a "squeak": "The old man is speechless!" I hope the girl will forgive! ”
Whether Kou Zhun lost his words or deliberately only God knows, but Liu Min did not blame him; Liu Min knew that Kou Zhun was a donkey; If you recognize the matter, you will not give up, since Kou Zhun recognizes that the golden knife is Liu Min; Then he has no remorse.
Liu Min is not afraid that Kou Zhun will recognize him, since it has developed to this point, then both sides have to be strong.
But Liu Min is more relieved, that is, Zhao Yuanzuo completely showdown with Li Fang's seven-member group: not to be the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, so that Zhao Hengdang will be able to ascend to the crown prince and become Song Zhenzong.
Kou Zhun felt sorry for himself for a while when he said the phrase "Miss Liu Min", and changed his tone and said: "The fairy's words make sense, the emperor likes the Liao prisoner the most; After the last victory at Yanmen Pass, General Lu presented Xiao Duli's head and Li Chonghai and Xiao Tzuai's two captives; The Holy One was happy for a long time. This time, if he can capture the Liao State tart Ma He Gulu alive and send it back to Beijing to present it to the emperor, he will definitely be happy to go to the Heavenly Palace! ”
Seeing that Kou Zhun was serious, Liu Min smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then we will change the battle plan!" ”
After a pause, he said: "Originally, I planned to kill all the Tartar soldiers led by Tart Mahe Gollum, but now I have to capture them all alive and let them be prisoners!" ”
Liu Min said and looked at Zhao Yuanzuo, Zhe Yuzhong, Kan Lang and Huyan Jin'er: "A few of you led the troops to ambush in advance on the road where Tart Mahe Gulu passed by, and used a combo crossbow to shoot over and capture them alive; Don't kill even if you fight, take a prisoner and take it back to the capital to offer a prisoner! ”
Huyan Jin'er said with a smile: "Sister's words, my little sister remembers, but if a few of us lose ground and kill the Tartar soldiers, my sister should not blame!" ”
Kan Lang heard Hu Yanjin'er say this, and shouted "good", Liu Min's words of "can't be killed, and return to the capital to sacrifice prisoners after being captured alive" Kan Lang couldn't accept it.
Kan Lang came to the north to kill the Tartars, and he didn't do it if he wanted him to catch him alive; Kan Lang had already made up his mind, as long as he rushed forward; The Mo knife in his hand slashed there, and there would never be a purposeful choice there......
Kan Lang was in a reverie, and Kuaima came to report again, saying that it was the remnants of the Liao State tart Ma Hegulu who came from the west, and these guys were also damned; actually got several carriages carrying dozens of women, and it seemed that they were robbed by the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Liu Min was furious, glanced at Lu Chengyu and said, "Brother Pony should give the order to attack......
Tart Mahe Gulu led 39 remnants of the defeated army to escape from the reeds of the Xianghe River, and then galloped on horseback, and soon approached Fengxiang Mansion.
A soldier named Coconut Pear Yihu said: "Lord Tart, the 39 of us will have to change our clothes when we are about to enter Fengxiang City; But now it's still grassland costumes and hair, and it's not a joke to enter Fengxiang City and be discovered by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty! ”
Seeing that the coconut pear winged tiger was reasonable, Tart Mahe frowned and said: "You should change your clothes, what is your opinion on joining the army!" ”
The coconut pear winged tiger smiled and said: "Brothers have weapons in their hands, and it is not easy to find a Han village to get dozens of sets of clothes!" ”
The pear-winged tiger said and pointed his hand to the north: "Look, king, there seems to be a village in the ravine to the north; Let's go over and have a look! ”
Tart Mach grunted and let the pear-winged tiger lead the way, running towards the village in the ravine.
The village in the ravine is called Zaozi River, and only one or two hundred people are a small village.
At this time, it was almost dusk, and the coconut pear winged tiger muttered to the tart Mahe: "Let's just rest in the Zaozi River tonight, the brothers should have relaxed after a busy few days!" ”
The relaxation that the coconut pear Yihu said is to find women to be happy, so that their team that cannot be defeated has a long spirit.
Tart Maher thought for a moment and said, "Well, surround the village and kill all the men, and get some purple women to treat the brothers!" ”
39 wolves on the grassland surrounded the Zaozi River from all sides, and more than 100 men, old people, and children in the village were all killed, and the remaining women and 39 Tartar soldiers each chose one; Those who are inferior are also killed.
Since the formation of tribes and nations, human beings have never stopped slaughtering foreign races; And the game of steppe wolf nature and agricultural civilization is even more noisy.
The ancestors of the Khitan people of Liao were the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu implemented a tragic policy of extermination of the Han nation after Mao Dunshan unified the entire tribe.
The heroic Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Xuan of Han began to attack the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu gradually declined.
After the decline of the Xiongnu, the Turks appeared, and the Turks were followed by the Khitan.
The Khitans inherited the wolf nature of the Xiongnu and Turks, and continued to exercise a perverse policy of slaughter.
The Khitans used slaughter to rob the wealth and women of the Han people, and to rob the land and homes of the Han people.
After the 39 Khitan Tartars killed all the men, old people and children in the village, they let the women who stayed behind accompany them to die drunk and dream for a whole night, and then all 39 Tartar soldiers changed into the clothes of Han men; Pretending to be a salt seller in the Northland, he got a few carts to load 39 women and headed north.
39 Tartar soldiers passed through Fengxiang, wore Pingliang, crossed Huazhou, and entered the Dingbian Army ten days later than Liu Min and them.
On this day, the Tatar soldiers got up from the Dingbian army, and the coconut pear Yihu grunted to the tart Mahe: "We have overcome many difficulties and dangers along the way by pretending to be the people of the Song State who trafficked salt, but the Empress Dowager Chengtian is in Yunnei Prefecture, so we might as well cross the Yellow River from Fuzhou through the security army and go there directly!" ”
Tart Maher Grunt agreed with the opinion of joining the army, and the group came to the security army......
