Chapter 397: Although a certain vulgar martial artist, he also knows loyalty
Bian Xiang clenched the handle of the axe, intending to share the victory or defeat with Wang De, but he was also afraid that Wang De would be trapped in the beast and fight back.
This is like the appearance in the camp right now, the remaining hundreds of Western troops are not the opponents of Bian Xiang's army, but they are like a wounded beast, with teeth and claws. If you insist on killing them, you must also endure their madness before they die.
Therefore, the soldiers of Tian Hu watched the Western army escape from the camp.
Now Bian Xiang is the same.
Even though this battle made him very dissatisfied, he made a trip to bite the gold in the middle of the road, making his troops pay a lot of casualties. Those Western troops saw that there were cavalry to rescue, and they only thought that they could turn defeat into victory, and they were all in good spirits, that is, the scuffle, and the Jin army was mostly killed and wounded.
But Bian Xiang still watched Wang De lead dozens of cavalry out of the camp.
The battle situation in Hedong has had a little twist and turn at this moment, even if Bian Xiang's final plan has not been achieved, such a blow is also one of the few shining points in the entire battle of the Hedong Tianhu Army.
When such news reached Tan Zhen's ears, he was very unhappy. He just sued the Son of Heaven in front of him, and the Western Army made waves, did he deliberately harm him? If he didn't know the way of the seed master, and he was afraid of the prestige of the seed brothers in the Western Army, Tan Zhifei jumped up and tossed it to let the Western Army know how powerful he was.
But when the subordinate he sent to Luoyang to inquire about the news sent back the letter, Tan Zhen's heart of gains and losses suddenly calmed down.
In response to the fall of Tianfu and the disturbance of the Song Dynasty Temple, the Son of Heaven is now crying out to the heavens, mourning and destroying the bones, and he is very close to mourning, and he has no intention of meeting the affairs of the foreign dynasty.
Tan Zhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In this way, there was still time for him to make amends, so he hurried to the front of the army in person and rushed to discuss with the Seed Master.
didn't know that all this was seen by Zhao Ji. He was naturally angry at Tan Zhi's concealment and non-reporting, but seeing Tan Zhi rushing to the front of the army immediately afterwards made him feel more satisfied.
As for punishing the Western Army, Zhao Ji didn't want to think about it. Now that time has passed, it is no longer what it used to be. For the Western Army, he didn't have the past Eryuer, but wanted to give the Western Army generals a decent look.
But on the surface, Zhao Ji wants to put on a good show.
He really received the news of Yingtian's loss, but he asked people to be relieved for a day. On that day, he was in the court meeting, and suddenly received news that the Liangshan thieves attacked Tianfu City, cut the defense envoy Du Chong, and the prefect Wang Boyan abandoned and fled, the city was broken, and Xue Guangli was killed in battle.
In front of the court, Zhao Ji, who had been prepared, staged a wonderful performance at the Oscar-level level, first like mourning, and then like being hit by five thunders, his face was white, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Cai Jing and the others, who were serving on the side, did not dare to stand anymore, and fell to the ground to excuse themselves from the crime. Zhao Ji immediately sent a decree to stop the court meeting, turned around and went back to the palace to take off his dress and put on plain clothes, and hurriedly rushed to the Fengxian Hall that was simply arranged after the Song Dynasty moved west to Luoyang, knelt down in front of the ancestral spirit to reflect, and ordered the civil and military officials to repair the province together.
The ministers also knew that something was wrong, even when they left Tokyo, they already had such an expectation in their hearts. But when the news of the destruction of Tianfu City came, the land of the Zhao family's original temple was shocked, and they were still too frightened to speak, at least on the surface. The civil and military officials also hurriedly returned home to change into plain clothes, and jointly comforted the emperor.
In the Fengxian Palace, the noon sun shined in through the window lattice, and the cheerful chirping of birds and birds came from far outside the hall, Zhao Ji knelt alone in front of Zhao Da Zhao Er's spiritual seat, and several eunuchs bowed their heads from afar.
Emperor Daojun, who was dressed in plain clothes, had a thin body, and he was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight, kneeling there quietly and motionless, like a stone statue.
Although he is quiet on the outside, Zhao Ji is turbulent in his heart. No matter how early the preparation was, the disturbance of the original temple is a great sin and a great unfilial piety. For Zhao Song, it was also the second major blow after moving the capital.
Zhao Ji, who has always prided himself on being wise, also had to admit that he had caused a catastrophe and was ashamed of his ancestors and ancestors, which shocked the original temple.
Thinking like this, Zhao Ji burst into tears.
As the emperor of the Song Dynasty, although he is acting, he also really hates the Liangshan thieves who disturbed the original temple, and he also hates Cai Jing and others who don't do their business all day. Zhao Ji really hated and grieved in his heart, and he cried bitterly and didn't cheat.
At this moment, Zhao Ji felt for the first time that he was not in control of everything, and a terrible sense of powerlessness was coming to him.
At this time, Lu Qian in Yingtianfu had already raised troops to the north. The army was directed at Xingren Mansion, but Liu Tao in Tokyo City also raised a hundred spirits, and no one dared to guarantee that the Liangshan thieves would not turn around and kill Tokyo City.
Let's say that the Xingren Mansion, the prefect's surname is Li, and he was originally a Qing guest under Liang Shicheng. On this day, Guan Sheng was urgently found, and after Puzhou broke through that day, those who had roots and feet went to find their own mothers, leaving only Guan Sheng, who had no roots and no ping, and was left in Xingren Mansion. The last time Liang Shanbo feinted to attack Xingren, Guan Sheng resisted with all his strength, and that was indeed a capable one. Governor Li broke off the relationship and took him under his command, and he was shown as a regimental training envoy.
It is true that this person understands in his heart that in the future, Xingren Mansion will inevitably fight in battle, and he still has a real talent in his hands. And the surname of the soldiers and horses of Xingren Mansion is Cao, and if he is like his surname, he is a straw bag.
Guan Sheng was practicing people's courage in the school field that day, and suddenly he was summoned by Governor Li, so he beat his horse and galloped to the government. That Governor Li greeted the second hall and led Guan Sheng to the East Flower Hall to talk, and Cao Dujian was already present. Governor Li didn't sit down, and arched his hand to Guan Sheng: "Does General Guan know that Xingren is in danger?" ”
Guan Sheng replied: "The young general has heard about Ying Tianfu and knows that it has fallen, but he doesn't know what changes have happened to Xingren?"
As he spoke, he saw that this Li Zhifu was wearing a half-old green gauze square scarf, and a jade plaque was decorated in front of it. Wearing a blue silk robe with a collar, the collar is crooked, and the flank is untied. The three locks of slight beards under the item are tangled, and the long white face is also very pale, which can be seen to be very embarrassed. And the Cao Dujian sat on the chair like a wooden man, and his face was white.
Guan Sheng's heart was shocked, and he knew that it must be a real thing.
Governor Li smiled bitterly: "General, please take a seat." Xingren has not changed, but in Yingtianfu, which is not far away, tens of thousands of Liangshan thieves are about to sweep in, and we only have three or five thousand military horses here, how can we resist the enemy? The two governments are close to each other, and the morning and evening are coming, so why is the official not anxious? ”
Guan Sheng lost his voice: "The thieves are so urgent? "Ying Tianfu is a prosperous place, there is a lot of cream, and the Liangshan army is going to invade Xingren Mansion so quickly?
Governor Li didn't speak, and Cao Dujian's face was miserable.
"The young general is a martial artist, he doesn't dare to speak big, and he only respects orders. Under the orders of the prime minister and the capital supervisor, the young general obeyed. In his heart, Guan Sheng decided that this defeat was decided. The bravery and strength of the Liangshan Army, Tokyo City also fought, and what about Xingren Mansion?
But Guan Dadao will not tell. There is also Cao Dujian here, this is the military attache of Xingren Mansion, Guan Sheng is not good and unruly!
Cao Du listened to him say this, but he smiled and said: "Although a certain is a vulgar martial artist, he also knows loyalty. As the saying goes, when the soldiers come to block, the thieves come to invade the territory, but they lead the military horses to fight and live up to their blood. Xianggong sits in the city. "At least it's out of the city, isn't it?
Governor Li sat down on the chair, scratched his beard, and smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "You are so big talking." The Liangshan thieves are coming, and you have brought three or five thousand people to resist ten times his crowd, how can the number of victories and defeats be unpredictable? A civil official in this mansion is powerless, what is the use of you asking me to sit in the city? ”
That Cao Du was a little uncomfortable at first when he heard it, he could still escape after losing the battle, but it was difficult to escape if he stayed in the city. He sat on a chair with his hands on his knees and said nothing.
Guan Sheng knew that this was the overseer, so he asked Governor Li: "What does Xianggong mean?" ”
Governor Li said: "The lower officials have been here for many years, and their dependents are getting together day by day. Today, thieves are coming to the city, surrounding these old and weak but too cumbersome. If the official wants to send three or five errands, he will send his dependents back to his hometown in Sichuan and Shu tomorrow. It's just that the world is unstable today, and local bandits are frequent, and they want to ask the general for some capable soldiers, and then hope to borrow an official to escort him south. ”
"In this way, there is no need for the old and weak to be disturbed by their families, and the official is alone, so he has no worries and focuses on the war."
Guan Sheng didn't think about it, and said, "This matter is easy. "Although on the eve of the war, the prefect sent his wife and children away, and it will disturb the morale of the army. But as long as you are careful, Guan Sheng can ensure that no one in the city knows. After hearing this, Governor Li also agreed, as long as the family can get away with money, this is the first priority.
"As for the military, although the official has read through the ancient and modern books, he has no strategy in his chest. Now that the situation is getting tense, we have to fight against the general. "Do you want to repay Li, Governor Li said. Guan Sheng hurriedly humbled himself.
The Cao Dujian also said: "After General Guan is loyal and righteous, he has excellent martial arts, and he has fought with Liangshan thieves many times, and he has seen extraordinary customs. Don't be modest. The two of them felt in their hearts that this Xingren Mansion was really difficult to keep, but they still blessed, a little bit of expectation.
But Guan Sheng didn't have the ability to conjure soldiers and horses out of thin air, seeing that what the two of them said was not a lie, his face showed silence, and he said: "Don't hide it, today's situation, the young general thinks that Xingren Mansion is difficult to protect for a while." "This is the most correct way to defend against the enemy, and there is no better way for the enemy to come. That's how you can be calm.
"This is not a young general's cowardice and greed, but a huge disparity in the strength of the enemy and me." Although Guan Sheng didn't know why the Liangshan army would respond to the attack of Tianfu without fighting, this gave him a glimmer of hope, that is, the Liangshan army could also break the Xingren Mansion without fighting.
Drums don't need to be hammered. As soon as Guan Sheng's meaning was revealed, Li Cao and the others immediately widened their eyes. "The general has a point." If the Liangshan army is also broken against Xingren Mansion without fighting, can they completely take Furenfu calmly after the Liangshan army withdraws?
In this way, it is good to have an explanation for the upper seal.
