Chapter 900 Protecting the Territory and the People, the Duty of a Soldier
"If a good man wants to live a good life in the army, he can only fight hard, and it is impossible to calculate how many chances of winning every battle! Now that I have joined the army in the side court, I don't know how to make a career out of the ability to bury my body! ”
Listening to Xiao Tang, Wu Song also knew what he meant by what his righteous brother meant. It is said that after saving Liu Fa, Xiao Tang could also flee all the way south to return to the hinterland of the Song Realm, avoiding the unstoppable advance of the Xia army led by Brother Cha, and while Brother Cha led the army to take advantage of the situation to slaughter the soldiers and civilians of the Song State in the border court, it was obvious that he still wanted to gather superior forces to annihilate all the men and horses of Xiao Tang's department. If Xiao Tang resists at the border pass, it will undoubtedly attract the encirclement and onslaught of the Xia army, even if Xiao Tang ignores the life and death of those Great Song Dynasty people in the border court, the border guards of Rongwei Xihe Road are outnumbered, it is not the military order he received, and this black cauldron will not be carried by him.
However, it is the duty of a soldier to protect the family and defend the country and protect the people of Li under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.
And how could Wu Song be a man who fears his life and fears death?
Hearing Wu Song say the same, Xiao Tang smiled and said with emotion: "Second Brother Wu, when you and I were both white, we went together before the ghost gate closed. Although time has passed, and we are all sent by the military as officials, I did not expect that you and I will live and die together to fight the enemy chieftain. ”
Wu Song also smiled heartily and said: "It is also a pleasure to be able to die and live with your own brother!" Since I joined the army, I have tucked my head on the waistband of my pants all the way in the side court, and I also know that a good man has to be born in Lilu and famous in history, and he must live worthy of heaven and earth. The border war, it is the time when the man is promising, follow the brother and you to do it, even if it is dangerous, what is the way? ”

The abandoned yafu in the walled city has also been cleaned up by the military officials, although the pass here has changed hands several times in the area where the Song and Xia forces are intertwined, it seems to be very dilapidated, but when Xiao Tang led the army here, it also recovered a little bit of the strict atmosphere guarded by male soldiers at that time.
Xiao Tang put on his shirt and armor and followed a group of relatives to the main hall of the ya, Liu Qi, Yao Pingzhong, Wu Jue and other generals of the Western Army, Zhai Jin, Zhai Xing, Zhu Dingguo and other generals under Liu Fa and the generals of the Jingnan Army are also on both sides of the main hall, many of them are still hanging arms, and there are obvious gold scars on their bodies, and it can be seen what a tragic battle they have experienced these days.
When Xiao Tang told the generals present that he planned to defend here to attract the attention of the Chage army, and to buy time for the soldiers and civilians on the border of Xihe Road and Jingyuan Road to flee to the hinterland, the faces of these generals with different temperaments changed slightly, but although their personalities were very different, none of them were afraid of it, and they persuaded Xiao Tang to avoid the enemy's edge and continue to retreat south to the hinterland of the Song Realm in order to be safe.
After all, in addition to Xiao Tang's subordinates and confidants, the other generals of the forbidden army were counted as one, and they were all famous generals who emerged during the national crisis and the large-scale southern invasion of the Jin Kingdom, and they all knew very well where the duty of a soldier was.
After Xiao Tang said his plan, he coughed lightly and said, "I have already finished what I should say." Most of the ministers present are generals who have survived a hundred battles, and they are also the pillars of my army in the Great Song Dynasty. During this period of time, I am afraid that other troops can not expect other troops to support and respond, and it is very dangerous to resist the army of Xia Guo with our troops at the moment, but we are not soldiers, and we are not greedy for life and fear of death!
After all, in addition to being loyal to the official family and doing their best for the country... Even in addition to serving the powerful, if you can't protect the people of the Great Song Dynasty and allow the Xia people to invade and torture the people of our dynasty, what kind of military officer of the Great Song Dynasty is it!? The soldiers brought by the minister of the Western Army present are all the elite of our Great Song Dynasty army, and I also know that many military departments in other state capitals have spent money but have no practical use, and the stupid insects in the army are greedy for money and afraid of death, and they don't know how to fight when they are in battle. This is my heart, I wonder what you think? ”
Xiao Tang's voice fell, and Niu Gao shouted first: "Brother, what are you doing with all this? The younger brother entrusted his brother Fuyin from Ruzhou, and poured out his heart and soul with countless heroes, and now he is ordered to wear a brocade jacket, Hugh said that it is for the court and the people, and it is not too much for his brother to break his bones! ”
Niu Gao's words also immediately received a response from Wang Jin, Li Yongqi, Li Xiaozhong and others, and although the generals and officials in the Jingnan Army, such as Dang Shiying, Dang Shixiong, and Wang Wenbin, hesitated for a while, they thought that they had been stumbling for half a lifetime.
Among the generals of the Western Army, Liu Qi smiled slightly, and also said: "The man does not hesitate to die, break his courage and taste, and he is not proud of his background in the Western Army. ”
"Our two brothers, we got rid of the previous death, and our lives have been picked up, and we can kill some summer thieves to contribute to the country, even if we lose our lives, we will earn it! Since Liu Jingluo is seriously injured now, our brothers just have to listen to Xiao Jieshuai's orders. ”
The brothers Zhai Xing and Zhai Jin, who have always been known for their courage and courage, also said very happily, and Zhu Dingguo, another confidant under Liu Fa, thought about it a little, and said to Xiao Tang: "The previous Meng Xiao Jieshuai rescued in time, and only then did he teach Liu Jingluo and Weijiang not to be harmed by the Xia thieves.
It's just that there is still one thing to ask Xiao Jieshuai for something, Liu Jingluo is a respected general in our western army, but now he is often fainting due to serious injuries and is difficult to control the soldiers and horses. It is not a pity that the general died here, but Liu Jingliu must not die here, because he wanted to ask Xiao Jieshuai to transfer a hundred troops to find a remote path to avoid the round-up of the Xia army, so that Liu Jingliu could return to the mansion to save his life, and he could also feel at ease if he did not stay here and fight to the death with Xiao Jieshuai. ”
Xiao Tang listened to what Zhu Dingguo said and it made sense, but before he could speak, he heard someone outside the yafang door sigh loudly: "General Zhu's words are wrong, since Brother Xia Jun Cha wants to get rid of me and Xiao Jieshuai to avoid future troubles, if you want to attract the Xia army to deal with our army, how can you get my incense bait?" ”
