Chapter 240: A Bloody Tear
Along the way, I met many people who were sitting in the snow and were about to become ice sculptures, and they had died. After Zhao Cheng observed and touched, he did not stiffen, and there was still some residual warmth, so he was sure that he was getting closer and closer to the rebel who was in a hurry to go home.
This kind of more and more people who give up moving forward are starting to appear, which means that they have really broken down and given up. Before freezing, people should have a dazed desire to sleep and hallucinations of sitting down to rest, but others will not wait, and when they sit down or lie down, it means that the will is broken.
Even if you know that you will never wake up again when you fall asleep, you will fall into a deep sleep.
Zhao Cheng felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
It is a breath and a belief to be able to fight under such conditions. When a team with this kind of belief is a rare invincible division in the Great Song Dynasty.
Unfortunately, as a politician, Zhao Cheng knows that this team will not become elite soldiers after the war, and there is only one way to retire, because most people will be disabled, but the difference between the severity of the sequelae is just the difference.
Fortunately, this heavy snow is evolution, and after this battle, the Lingzhi Mountain force that caused countless bloodshed and made the government have no way to cast rat traps will be removed from the Great Song Dynasty, which can only become a negative example in history textbooks.
Chizhou will quickly gain cultivation in an environment without the interference of bandits and bandits, and burst out with the potential it should have.
As long as it is operated properly, the Chizhou War is also a policy bias of the imperial court in the future, as well as the spirit of the whole country, when there is such a spirit, it is no longer called the Northern Song Dynasty, and it can really be called the Great Song Dynasty.
These are the meanings.
As for the fate of those who died or were crippled for this, to put it simply, there is no war that was not the result of blood and tears. If you want to get something, you have to pay a price.
Of course, the cost can be mitigated with deliberate manipulation.
Based on this, Zhao Cheng, who was already a little cold to the imperial court, felt a great responsibility. In the past, it may have been possible to be sexual, but now that this official can't just do it, assuming that Zhao Cheng doesn't fight for it, then these people who paid the price for the Battle of Chizhou will have no one to understand them and care about them.
Assuming that Zhao Cheng felt that it was troublesome and did not fight for it, then the national significance gained after paying the price of this war is likely to be shelved, or rewritten by them, or even denied.
History has only results, not truths. The people above will not really care about the price paid in the battle of Chizhou and the inside story, they will only make reasonable use of what they can use according to their own class and position, and more importantly in the current situation. This is the essence of politicians.
Now that Zhao Cheng has simply and rudely seen through the essence, there is no need to explain the truth of Chizhou to the whole country, and he is worried that people will not believe it.
The conclusion and response are actually simple, to fight for the pen that writes history and grasp the right to speak. Then prepare a large number of candies and toys for the masses who do not know the truth, even if Zhao Cheng is evil, they will decisively believe Zhao Cheng, follow Zhao Cheng, read and learn the history written by Zhao Cheng.
This Nima is called history, and the others are not.
For this there is a war, and politics is also a war. So Chizhou is not the end, but has just started the endless war mode. It is necessary to fight wits and courage with these old masters of various routes and thinking just like fighting with Wang Xiu.
Well, the military command handed over to Bai Agarwood is quite easy now, and Zhao Cheng, who is dressed like a woolly bear and marches with him, has already made these YY in advance.
Even if he has been taken care of everywhere, it is still very bitter. The wind was blown and wanted to cry, but there were no tears in the interference of his eyes, after all, Zhao Cheng had never been able to get the white agarwood aura bonus......
On the platform of the Ganoderma Ganoderma on Lingzhi Mountain, nothing can be observed in the face of heavy snowfall.
The guards who remained on the watchtower now wanted to die, while most of the others stayed in the leaky houses around the braziers to keep warm.
The cottage hall was full of fires.
Chen Li, the third master who led a thousand people to stay in the cottage, would never have thought of the killing intent contained in this blizzard!
I was well prepared earlier, and now there is no shortage of wine, meat, and charcoal. Even after receiving the news that the grain transport team was completely annihilated in the Yangtze Ridge before this, there was panic in the cottage.
But this is not very important, based on the wisdom of Wang Xiu in the past. Now Chen Li's thinking is stuck on "Wang Xiu has absolute strength and is about to take Chizhou".
To a certain extent, Chen Li is a mediocre talent in the Lingzhi Mountain system, characterized by not adding chaos and loyalty, so he was entrusted by Wang Xiu with the important task of staying in the cottage and being responsible for logistics.
What is intriguing is that after the accident at Yangziling, the self-transporting grain team, there was no news order again. In this regard, there are already henchmen who have already noticed that something is wrong, even if the grain transportation team of 1,000 people is not elite, but in the battlefield where Lingzhi Mountain absolutely controls the field, if something happens, something will happen, this is an unfavorable signal, and it should be explained by a demon when something goes wrong.
Helplessly, Chen Li, based on his confidence in Wang Xiu in the past, can't listen to any suggestions now, and can't think of any reason for Wang Xiu's main force to be defeated.
In fact, Chen Li is even more reluctant to give up this foundation, because all buried under this unique land is copper ore, which is money.
And according to Chen Li's thoughts, it has nothing to do with the concept of "people die for money" at all.
Although he did not receive any instructions from Wang Xiu, Chen Li also began to give instructions and direct all matters of the cottage, and relieved his subordinates, believing that the Chizhou government no longer had any available strength except for the people in Yangshan earlier.
Even if it is the white agarwood department, there are not enough people, and it is impossible to threaten Wang Xiu's main force under such a snowstorm. Even if there is really a moth, at most Wang Xiu's main force will return in vain, but he can still burn and loot before the spring and the imperial army advance to the southeast, strengthen the power of the cottage, and finally look at Tokyo from afar.
The vision is very good, if Wang Xiu becomes the emperor, Chen Li thinks that he is the prime minister, and every time he thinks that his name can go down in history, and looks at the trembling appearance of countless subservient bureaucrats in the court, he wants to start laughing now......
Zhao Cheng and the White Agarwood Department entered the Lingzhi Mountain Realm at the end.
The march against the wind in the snow was slow, now at most twenty-five miles a day.
But despite this, it is certainly faster than the rebels who fled in front.
I even feel that I can't see it just because of the heavy snowstorm, but it's actually close at hand.
The closer you get to the cottage, the more rebel corpses appear on the way, most of them are relatively weak people who are not prepared for the cold.
More and more of these corpses are warmer and less rigid than previously found, and some are not even dead yet. So this means that Wang Xiu's main force is really close at hand.
They may have been bandits in their lifetimes, but now that the weather is freezing and God has become a unified enemy, they are like ordinary people after they die, and there are more and more corpses and there is no blood, which reminds people of "the road has frozen bones", and there are some sympathetic voices and atmosphere in the team.
This situation is very bad for the moment when the decisive battle is about to be held, so even if there is nothing to blame from human nature, and Zhao Cheng has given up military command, he can't help it in the face of this situation, and jumped out as a political commissar, first of all, he criticized Bai Agarwood, who took the lead in "sighing at the wind".
People can't have no goals, they can't have no position and program, and what Zhao Cheng is saying now is the program.
The decisive battle was close at hand, Zhao Cheng ordered to temporarily stop advancing, and try to express hoarsely and clearly in the snow wind, "Don't look at the wind and sigh, if you want your children and grandchildren to live in a safe and stable environment, you must pay the price." That price is war. ”
"Admittedly, everyone has compassion, and if you are willing to pay attention to it, there are some touching points in the beast no matter how fierce it is. Listening to the wind is rain, and the characteristic of sighing when looking at the wind is allowed to exist in ordinary people. But we are already soldiers from the moment we go into battle, and the quality of a soldier must be objective and calm, and the only mission is to win the war. ”
"Now our morale is like a rainbow, we have won many victories, and we are strong. It is a natural phenomenon for the strong to sympathize with the weak under certain conditions. Yet this is smoke and illusion, a mirage. The truth is: Wang Xiu's killing, Wang Xiu's bullying in the past, how many people have been lying in the grave? Some don't even have grave bags. These are not visible to ordinary people, so there is no direct anger and pressure. But if you believe me, as a county lieutenant, I know how many unjust souls there are in Chizhou! ”
"Wang Xiu's presence encouraged the killing to a certain extent. It has created a lot of people who do not want to make progress in production, and always want to take risks, because there is a way back, and they will go up the mountain after making a big news at every turn. These bloody cases have accumulated in the county government one by one, and they cannot even be filed and handled. When every weak person in Chizhou lies in the grave, it means that a group of weaker people are helpless, looking forward to the day of Zhaoxue in front of the grave of their relatives with tears in their eyes. ”
"Our team was born from the will of the people. According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, from the standpoint of civil judges, different people in the same incident can be treated differently. But this is now a war, not a judicial proceeding. We are warriors, and our mission is different from that of ordinary law enforcers. ”
"People are three-dimensional, no one is all bad and no one is all good. But when you choose to become a rebel, you are not going with the flow, but you are going with the flow, and you must be the enemy. As a military commander who has never made a mistake, I now tell you responsibly and sincerely: to be merciful to the enemy in war is to be cruel to yourself! ”
All stand upright!
"Well, after I finished speaking, I have basically fulfilled all my missions and obligations. Now it's a little unbearable, the command is given to Bai Agarwood, and the tactical purpose is to annihilate Lingzhi Mountain at any cost. There can be no mercy without accepting surrender. Because of the opportunity of surrender and mercy, Zhang Shangying gave it, and the price was that more than 10,000 orphans and widows in the Great Song Dynasty stood in front of the grave with tears in their eyes, but there were not even corpses in the grave bag, and the corpses were all in Shili Pavilion, so there was no chance to dig ......"
After speaking, Zhao Cheng's head fell as soon as he deflected. Even if the cold-resistant equipment is almost the most complete in Chizhou, it is really too weak for the chickens to work hard for days.
Bai Agarwood and Bi Shijing couldn't help but look at each other, this is good, not only can he not provide advice and role, but now he has become a burden.
In desperation, Qin Ming became a nanny, one big and one small, holding Zhao Cheng on the left and the little tiger head on the other.
Based on the guidance of not being able to have sympathy, Bai Agarwood can't control the scholars.
The decisive battle is imminent!
There is no suspense in winning the war, the difference is only that I don't know how many people will survive from Lingzhi Mountain. The estimate is very pessimistic, and the damage from the engagement should not be large, which is certain, but the real damage comes from the bitter cold.
Although Zhao Cheng didn't say it directly, Bai Agarwood knew in his heart that it was not a few, but most people who would be crippled in this battle......
