Chapter 540: People who have lost their country are not as good as pigs and dogs
Outside the city of Yunzhou, Yao Pingzhong's camp, the smoke curled in the generals' tents, and the Sanqing gods were like kind eyebrows.
Yao Pingzhong burned three sticks of incense at the idol, put them on respectfully, and turned his head to see that the piety and solemnity on his face were all gone, and his face was already full of murderous energy.
Recently, Yao Pingzhong, the first person in the Western Army, has become obsessed with Taoism, and I don't know if it is influenced by his mentor or what, he has to carry the statue of Sanqing everywhere he goes.
Yao Pingzhong's eyebrows flew into his sideburns, his anger sank, and he said in a condensed voice: "The Lord of Liao sent someone to bluntly say that the Jurchen Tartars have come to the city, and it is difficult to protect Yunzhou if it loses Yingzhou, and Yingzhou is our hometown in the past." When the summer thieves rebelled, our fathers and elders suffered from the war, but this time they will not let the Tartars enter the country.
Otherwise, the land of Qinlong will repeat the old things of the Daimyo's mansion, block the Jurchens, and help the Khitan, which is to protect the family and defend the land. The order went down, the three armies rode lightly, handed over the baggage to the people, and walked slowly behind. ”
Thousands of horses galloping on the land of Yunzhou, the dust raised by the dry weather has fueled its majesty, looking at it from afar, such as the roar of thunder, the flags are waving, and the horses are like dragons.
The Western Army has been training cavalry since the beginning of the destruction of Xia, and this was originally a tree planted by the teacher, but Yao Pingzhong picked the fruit. The strength of combat effectiveness depends to a large extent on war horses, and the popularity of cavalry has greatly enhanced the mobility of the Western Army.
At the head of Hongzhou City, Yelu Dashi saw it from a distance, and a burst of heat rushed through his heart. This is Yao Pingzhong, who once fought side by side with him in Zhongjing Mansion, launched a powerful Northern Expedition, and recovered a large number of national territories.
It's a pity that he is a Han Chinese, otherwise Yelu Dashi would have to be a brother with him, such a person is a natural commander, and the whole Western army is willing to die for him.
The soldiers of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty were willing to fight with him, and the Khitan monarchs and ministers were willing to let him station, which even made Yelu Dashi and Yelu Yanxi reach a consensus.
In the history of later generations, the little captain Yao Pingzhong was also deeply liked by the Song Emperor, although he won a battle and went into the deep mountains to cultivate, which seemed a little unreliable, but it was already the time of Qinzong, a rare victory, and even forced the Jin soldiers to retreat ten miles.
Yelu Dashi personally greeted him, patted Yao Pingzhong's shoulder, and said, "Xiyan, you can be regarded as here!" ”
Yao Pingzhong chuckled lightly and said, "Your Majesty, the narrative in the city, how many Jin soldiers have come, and Yongning Village is still in your hands?" ”
One sentence asked the point, Yongning Village is the top priority of this battle.
Yelu Dashi was even happier in his heart, and when he looked at the soldiers and horses he brought, they were stronger than when he withdrew his troops.
"Xiyan, this time the Jurchens are really here..."Yelu Dashi said in a deep voice, but in his tone, there was already a little hope.
Outside Hongzhou City, Yongning Village bore the brunt of the fire. The Jurchens' method of attacking the village, when there are not enough equipment, the first choice is always to expel Shengkou and fill the trench with his life.
Yelu Dashi was in Youyan, and he saw with his own eyes how Yang Lin fought, and he was strong and cleared the wilderness early, but there were too many people in Liaojing, and these people now belong to the rule of the Jin State. They didn't expect that the Jurchens didn't care about these things, and the military horses galloped back and forth, just to plunder grain and loot population.
The Jurchen military horses under the command of Wanyan Lou Room relied on the advantage of their strength this time, and the front was scattered very widely, driving countless ragged and equipped Cangtou Shengkou and Khitan auxiliary troops to keep testing along the vast front, looking for whether there was a passable mountain path that could bypass the road of Yongning Village.
As long as he finds a flaw, then the Jurchen elites who have been waiting behind will swarm in, tearing the gap bigger and bigger, until it can no longer be blocked.
If you can't find it, you can only storm Yongning Village, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is a difficult bone to gnaw.
In addition to the search for flaws, a series of tentative battles broke out. The Jurchen army was still dominated by auxiliary armies and tribal armies, and from time to time they gathered under the Yongning village to besiege and attack.
In the Jurchen camp, countless generations of captured people are hurrying up to make a simple long ladder. If you can't find a good way to break the city, the only way is to use human lives and shields to charge, and strong bows and crossbows to cover up. Then the auxiliary army was covered with side signs, then the trenches were filled in to open the attack channel, and finally the rudimentary ladder ant attached to the moth was used to rush up.
Wan Yan Lou carried a horsewhip to patrol the camp, and everywhere he went, he didn't dare to breathe, and worked hard with his head down, for fear that he might die on the spot if he was seen lazy and resting for a moment.
Walking to a simple barracks, there was a faint sobbing sound from inside, and Lou Mu asked with a straight face, "What is this?" ”
One of his men, Meng An Ahan, bared his teeth and said with a smile: "This is the fun that the brothers have taken captive. ”
Wan Yan Lou suddenly understood that there should be some beautiful women who had been taken captive.
He snorted coldly and said, "The military situation is urgent, and there are no idlers in the camp, so let them come out to catch up with the long ladder." ”
At the sound of the order, immediately the Jurchen soldiers who were like wolves and tigers carried whips into the shed and drove them out to work like dogs and sheep.
Ah Han's eyes showed a trace of unbearability, and said: "What are these women doing, let's kill a few more people, deter them, and let them do it faster." ”
Wanyan Lou Room glared at him and scolded: "Idiot, when you defeat Yunzhou, what woman can't you get." The Khitan ministers and the ministers' daughters are at your disposal. In the future, he will follow Zong Hanbo to enter the Southern Dynasty and catch a woman casually, and he will have seven or eight points. At this time, nothing is as important as taking Yongning Village. ”
When they said this, a few of the women in front of them had already gone slow because of crying and crying, and they were whipped by the Jurchen Tartars a few times.
Most of the women were unclothed, and with tears in their eyes, they picked up the hammer and began to work, and the wooden thorns pierced into their hands and did not dare to stop when they came out of the blood.
When the country is broken, the people who lose the country are not as good as dogs...

The city of Hangzhou is full of traffic.
After Liu Qi led his troops away, Zhang Shuye and Yin Muhong, the governor of Hangzhou, also moved to Suzhou, and peace was restored here.
The officials in Hangzhou City also breathed a sigh of relief, after all, with these two great gods here, everyone was uncomfortable.
A group of guards in brocade robes and red clothes escorted a luxurious carriage into the city slowly.
Lu Qian said through the curtain of the car: "Madam, Emperor Ji, we have arrived at Hangzhou Mansion." ”
Cai Lingbao lifted the curtain, his voice was crisp and sweet, and said with a smile: "Let's hurry up and send a letter to Seventh Brother, and then go back to Bianliang, Dad is really, don't you send someone to send it." ”
Duan Miaozhen said softly: "Taishi naturally has his reasoning, and when we go to Hangzhou, we will play for a day by the way, Lin Lang used to talk about the scenery here." ”
How did she know that the content of the letter she was going to send was to ask her seventh brother Cai Jun to go to Bianliang with her sister to do some things.
At the entrance of the yamen, Cai Jun personally greeted him, today is the arrival of the little sister by the way, and he has already received the news.
Now Xiaomei is not the little girl who no one cares about, she is Yang Lin's white-eyed wolf woman, and she is also the hope of the Cai family.
Seeing the carriage approaching, Cai Jun squeezed out what he thought was a bright smile, stretched out his hand and took a step, looking like a loving brother.
Suddenly, a strange-looking man came out of the crowd, and his voice was like a dragon roaring like a tiger: "Cai Jun dog official, take your life!" ”
This man's movements are too fast, and with the courage of ten thousand people, the poor people around him have no time to stop him.
Cai Jun's eyes were round, and a sharp knife had been inserted in front of his chest, spitting blood from his mouth, and he fell to the ground and died.
The poor people around were all shocked, looked at this high-spirited man, and smiled bitterly: "Wu Ti Shi... You are... Why bother. ”
"Cai Jun harms the people, I Wusong has long said that he will slaughter this guy. Today's events do not affect the brothers, and I will be arrested and questioned. ”
Lu Qian, who was not far away, was dumbfounded, drew his sword to protect the carriage, and the guards behind him were also like facing a great enemy, protecting Shaozai's two forbidden arms.
Lu Qian looked at the corpse on the ground, spat and scolded in a low voice: "Cai family, it's really evil. ”
("Lin'an County Chronicles", "West Lake Grand View", "Hangzhou Mansion Chronicles", "Zhejiang Tongzhi" and other historical records record: Wu Songyuan is a wandering artist, "looks strange, tastes skills outside the Yongjin Gate, not a thief.") The prefect of Hangzhou saw that Wu Song was strong in martial arts and outstanding in talent, so he invited him to the palace and let him act as the head of the capital. Soon after, he was promoted to the rank of magistrate because of his merits. Cai Jing's son Cai Jun succeeded to the prefect of Hangzhou, relying on his father's power to abuse the government and the people, and was known as "Cai Hu". Wu Song did not join in the pollution and was expelled. Since then, Wu Song has public indignation and personal grudges, often wants to stab, hides a sharp blade, hides in front of Cai's mansion, and when Cai Jun comes in front of him, he rushes forward like an arrow and stabs Cai Jun several times, which immediately results in his life. Officers and soldiers flocked to besiege Wu Song, and Wu Song was finally captured by the officers and soldiers because he was outnumbered. Later, he was severely sentenced and died in prison. The local people deeply feel its virtue, buried in Hangzhou Xiling Bridge, descendants set up a monument, the inscription is "the tomb of Song Yishi Wu Song". )
Later generations, with Wu Song's tiger as the story model, created the story of Jingyanggang fighting the tiger, turning "Cai Hu" into a real tiger. Although it made it famous, it also made up some indiscriminate killings of innocents, insulting the reputation of righteous people. Wu Tizhi is actually a native of Qinghe County, Hebei Province, and the name of a righteous man is well deserved.
All the people rushed up and captured Wu Song, and he really didn't resist at all.
