Chapter 835: Usable Soldiers, Former Comrades-in-Arms
Listening to Chai Jin's resentment, Zhu Tong stood up at the time, originally he was taken care of by Chai officials these days, and seeing that Chai Jin's uncle was bullied by bullies in Gaotang Prefecture, Zhu Tong also wanted to do his best to repay his kindness. But Zhu Tong thought about it, now that he is a fugitive prisoner, he can't help much, even if he fights with others, it will cause Chai Jin to hide and eat the criminal arrested by the lawsuit to be exposed, so wouldn't it hurt his benefactor?
After all, Zhu Tong didn't just want to be happy, Li Kui, who didn't care about the cause and effect, had to sit down again and be silent after thinking about it for a while.
When Yan Qing heard this, he snorted coldly: "That Yin Tianxi is so unreasonable! Chai Daguan, Gaotang Prefecture is very close to Zongcheng County, the Daimyo Mansion, and Zengtou City, Dezhou, which is newly merged by my brother...... There are also brothers in Qingzhou who can help the officials. ”
Chai Jin hesitated for a while, although he is good at accommodating people in the rivers and lakes, but he does not want to live more when it comes to dealing with the powerful, and he, a descendant of the Chai family of the Zhou Dynasty, has secretly interacted with some green forest heroes with criminal records in the people, and it will not cause any trouble...... However, the conflict between the emperors of the previous dynasty and the powerful people of this dynasty has become bigger, and this nature has changed.
Maybe it is really necessary to ask Xiao Renxia to come forward to help, but now that he is supervising the army in the northwest frontier, he has not yet made a situation that cannot be controlled, so now is not the time...... Chai Jin thought it in his heart, and then smiled at Yan Qing: "Brother Xiao Yi has a heart, but although Yin Tianxi is a bully, my Chai family also has a holy decree to protect it, even if the master of the high hall can't reason with him, but there are many people who are more powerful than those who are high and cheap in Beijing." No matter how bad it is, he can take the Danshu iron coupon in person, and he will go to Beijing to stop the lawsuit and file a lawsuit with Yin Tianxi. ”
People in the rivers and lakes can praise the Chai officials called the golden branches and jade leaves, dragon sons and dragon grandsons, but these words can not be said in the official face, today's official family favors the close ministers, and it is a person who helps relatives and does not help, that is, he sues the emperor to make trouble in Bianjing, Rao is a Chai official is a descendant of the emperor's family of the first dynasty, and the official family really cares about the grievances of the Chai family, who has no friendship with him?
Yan Qing secretly thought in her heart: My brother was prescient, and he also expected that Gao Lian, the younger brother of Gao Yu's clan, would be a government official, and sooner or later there would be a relationship between Gao Yu's brother Gao Lian and his uncle of the Chai Daguan clan who lived in Gaotang Prefecture. But now that my brother is far away in the side court, it is inconvenient to communicate with each other, but Gao Lian's wife and brother Yin Tianxi have deceived the door, and now it is imminent to quarrel with the dry bird... Since my brother has asked me and my brothers everywhere to adapt to the situation, I don't need to use the soldiers and horses in the green forest, otherwise I am afraid that the brothers on the side of Erlong Mountain and Qingfeng Mountain will have big things to do......
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Early the next morning, Chai Jin, Yan Qing and dozens of relatives left the Zhuangyuan, and rushed to Gaotang Prefecture in the starry night, while Lehe also joined the steward of Xiao's Dart Xing who was walking around Hebei, and led Zhu Tong to Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou at the same time. Whether it is rescuing and settling Zhu Tong, or saying that the Gaotang Prefecture side is also about to come in a storm, but for Xiao Tang, the situation there is far less than the war he has to face now. Far away in Linxia City, Suidezhou, Yanyan Road, Xiao Tang had also escorted the grain and grass of the Song army on the eastern front with Xiao Jiasui, Xu Guanzhong, Hua Rong and Wu Jue, who had taken over the Western Army, and went to the forward position in the north of Junzhou to oppose the Xia State.
It is said that Xiao Tang has not joined Tong Guan, Lao Xiaozhong Jing Luo Xianggong, Liu Fa and other commanders of the Western Army, and most of the Song troops in various military villages in Suide Prefecture still have to stay in their respective jurisdictions in order to guard against the outflanking of the Xia army. Therefore, even if Xiao Tang can transfer the soldiers and horses under his command, the current area of activity is limited to the area bordering the Xia Kingdom in Suide Prefecture.
After all, the scale of the war between the two countries is far better than the previous Xiao Tang commanded the soldiers and horses of the two mountains of Qingzhou and only sought one state and one town, compared to the original conquest of Hebei Zhangdi and Hedong Tianhu, now the Song and Xia battle lines extend to Gansu and Qinghai in the west, and Shaanxi and Inner Mongolia in the east.
Now the Song army's main envoy Cai Yan has died, and Xiao Tang has also officially taken over the command of the rear of Suidezhou in name, but after the battle of Linxia City, so far the Bianjing Forbidden Army under Xiao Tang and the three battalions of the Western Army under the command of Wu Yu are only 3,500 soldiers and horses, plus the Minzhuang military service can only be around 6,000. According to the current division of ministry, Xiao Tang does not have to bow down to everything, and personally escorts grain and grass supplies to the front line of the Song and Xia wars, but since he has a certain amount of military power, Xiao Tang naturally cannot just stay in the rear and wait.
"The military divisions of Suiping and Qingjian have sent military officials to report the battle situation in Pingxia City to Tong Guan and Lao Xiao Jingluo, and it depends on how the commanders of several roads arrange and where to transfer the elder brother."
At the forefront of the military formation, Xu Guanzhong said slowly: "Now as an elder brother, it is also justifiable to take over the dispatch of the main envoy of the supervising army, and General Liu Fa and Xiao Chong Jingluo also treat my brother very seriously, and I don't expect to find a quiet place to send my brother to garrison, and teach him to watch from the wall." It's just that Cai Xianggong 'died in the chaos of soldiers' in Pingxia City, and he was afraid that after returning to Beijing, Cai Jing, the minister of power, would not give up......"
Xu Guanzhong's concerns Xiao Tang naturally knew very well, he was originally appointed by Zhao Ji as the deputy envoy to supervise the army to participate in the Song and Xia War, but it was also because of Cai Jing's instructions to protect the integrity of his son Cai Ying, although Xiao Tang was unwilling to be at the mercy of the Cai Party, and Cai Tang, who was exposed in the cruel war and almost dragged down the city defenders, even if Wu Jue did not take his life immediately, Xiao Tang at that time really wanted to kill him.
Even Cai Yan was indeed not killed by himself. But after all, Cai Yan died in Pingxia City under his Xiao Tang's care. Xiao Tang took over Cai Ying's errand duties again, what would he think when Cai Jing learned about it? Xiao Tang must also be mentally prepared, but that is also the problem that he needs to face when he returns to Bianliang in Tokyo after the war, and he can't take care of it so much at the moment.
"Now I can only take one step at a time to see where I want to go, at least now I don't have to be hindered in any way, quickly get in touch with several commanders in the Western Army, and now I only care about the war in front of me."
Xiao Tang said leisurely, with the soldiers and horses led out of Linxia City, across the Dali River, after passing through the Kerong military village, the light cavalry of the surrounding sentinels suddenly had a flying horse, and the soldier stopped in front of Xiao Tang's horse, and clenched his fists on the horse and shouted: "Report!" Xiao Jieshuai, there is a large group of men and horses in front, and they are all under the banner of our army. It seems that he was ordered to transfer troops from other state capitals to cooperate with the soldiers and horses of the Yanyan Road to defend the local area. ”
After Xiao Tang heard this, he asked the military warrior about the banner of the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army that was transferred from the nearby military state, he raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh, it turns out that the old friend of the old man led the troops to arrive, maybe I can add some more available soldiers and horses under my command for the time being." ”
