Chapter 190: Binding is too urgent, begging for relief
Dianhua Zhending is a common saying, and it will probably never be mentioned again, and the Jin army is stationed here. All the prefectures and counties in Fangyuan were looted, and most of the people of Zhending left their homes and fled south. After the loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Zhending has always been the forefront of resisting the invasion of the north. Therefore, the Jurchens coerced the Great Song Dynasty more than once to cede the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhending, and Hejian. Now, Zhending Mansion has been occupied by the Jin army. The arrogance of the Jurchens can be imagined.
However, today. Today is different! The gates of a huge Zhending city are closed, and the city is full of armor soldiers, as if facing a great enemy! The bad news has just come, and I believe that many Jurchen soldiers in the city have seen it with their own eyes, and the second prince has not only led hundreds of remnants of soldiers to flee into the city in disarray. Once you enter the city, the first order you give is to close the four gates and be ready for battle! How? Did the Southern Army come to the door?
In Shiyi Town, Lulu County, not far from Zhending City, the people fled. Only some of them were too old to walk, and they stayed with the idea of resigning themselves to fate. Maybe it's because they're so old, so old that the Jurchens don't even bother to kill them, so they've survived to this day. However, the fierce Jin soldiers often broke into the town and looted in the name of hunting down the rebels. Later, when there was nothing to rob, they were forcibly conscripted to Zhending, where the men worked as coolies to repair the walls, and the women did some work to boil water and cook. That's it, more than two dozen old people who should have enjoyed their families were left in the end
Piece.
When dozens of war horses rushed into the town, the old man, who was over seventy years old, sat on the side of the street and did not hide, obviously numb. The knights who came were all stunning, the men were panting, and the horses, with their front hooves, seemed to have been running for a long time. The leading warrior was extremely majestic, and with an iron spear, he frowned at the empty town, and said something when he saw the old man sitting on the side of the street with hay.
The two horsemen immediately dismounted their horses and hurried over, but before they arrived, one of them shouted, "Old man, I would like to ask, where is this boundary?" ”
The old man didn't blink his eyes, he still looked ahead blankly, and only after a long time did he reply hoarsely: "This place is called Shiyi, which was placed in the county from the front, and later merged into the deer." A few steps ahead, there is Zhending City. There was no trace of anger in the old man's tone, as if he was waiting for death.
The two soldiers took a closer look and turned out to be a blind man. After reporting the general, I heard the sound of hooves outside the town, and someone shouted, "The commander is coming" Shiyi Town has probably not been so lively for a long time, and countless heavily armed soldiers drove into the town, and five or six well-armored generals surrounded the young man.
Looking at the dilapidated streets, you can vaguely feel its prosperity in the past. The young man dismounted from his horse and came to the old man, speechless for a long time. Probably the blind man is very sensitive, he knew that someone was in front of him, he tightened the wooden staff in his hand, shrunk his thin body into a ball, and said in horror: "I'm a blind old man, and I don't have a few days to live, so I won't dirty the king's knife, right?" "Dare to love him, he should be a strong man.
The young man squatted in front of him with a horsewhip in his hand, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, old man, we are officers and soldiers. ”
Hearing the words "official army", the old man's cloudy eyes seemed to have a light, but it was only a flash, and then he shook his head and said: "Don't coax me, although the blind old man can't see it, he can smell the smell of the official army." You're not."
The young general didn't explain much, stood up, and whispered, "I'll call back sooner or later." ”
The old man stopped talking, as if he hadn't heard him at all. The young general strode back and shouted, "Give him some rations, and we'll withdraw." ”
"Brother Jiu, the front is really determined, and they have all come here, so let's take a look.
The curved blade spear in Yang Yan's hand was not bloodstained.
"Never! We are far away from the main force, and we are alone in the depths, and if we do not slow down, we will send troops to chase after us. The big and small eyes of the general said in a deep voice, who is not Yue Fei?
Xu Wei glanced at him, nodded and said, "Senior brother is very right, let's go, meet with the eldest brother and fourth brother, and return to Beijing." ”
The soldiers cheered. Because they know that from this moment on, the war is temporarily over. After returning to Tokyo. Rewards and glory await them. These warriors who fought bloodily deserve their rewards.
Nearly 1,000 people changed their rear team to the front team and retreated to the south in an orderly manner. After Xu Wei stepped on the horse, the war horse given by the emperor didn't know if it was human nature and understood the master's mind, but he always refused to fight, and no matter how tightly the reins were lifted, it just spun in place. Xu Wei looked north from time to time, with a complicated expression on his face.
The horseshoe goes south to the people of the North Po"
When Xu Wei led his troops to retreat for more than ten miles, he saw a big mountain in the distance, which was extremely sinister. More than ten horsemen galloped over, and before they could get closer, the people on the horse had already rolled off the saddle and bowed to the ground, and some of them shouted loudly: "We are the righteous army of Fenglongshan, and we are ordered by the lord of the village to welcome Xu Jiuguan." ”
Xu Wei didn't say much, so they led the way, didn't go out of the two miles, and came to greet each other again, and arrived at the foot of the Fenglong Mountain. Seeing the crowd surging, the leader of the cottage put a long case, put the old raging melon character army to hold a bowl of water and wine, and sparse and oiled several generals, and said with a smile: "I don't know which one is Xu Jiuguan?" ”
When the military attaches now focused their eyes on the young man, the owner of the village was secretly surprised, he didn't expect that the purple gold tiger on both sides of the famous river would be born in the future? hurriedly stepped forward with a wine bowl and said respectfully: The villain is the leader of the Fenglongshan Righteous Army, and this bowl of thin wine celebrates the officials. ”
After eating wine and working the army, the owner of the village said that the Wuma cottage had prepared a banquet. If you want to wash the dust for the officers and soldiers, please Xu Wei appreciated the light. Present. The rebels led the way, and Xu Wei led his troops straight to Wuma Mountain. When I arrived at the mountain, I saw thousands of soldiers and horses lined up in formation, showing off their might.
Xu Wei is a connoisseur. At a glance, it can be seen that there are capable people in these five-horse cottages. Ordinary people can't make such a rigorous formation. But I saw that the cavalry were all straddling the war horses, lined up in front of the formation, thousands of foot soldiers were neatly executed, and the archers with bows and arrows on their backs stood at the end. This is basically the rudimentary form of a combat formation. I don't know where the lord of these five horse cottages is sacred?
When there was a distance of about 200 paces, the drums and trumpets in the righteous army sounded in unison, and all the soldiers shouted loudly, Xu Wei heard it clearly, they shouted "serve the country with a naked heart, kill the gold thief" Although these righteous troops are poorly equipped, their momentum is not weak.
Originally, according to Xu Wei's identity. He could have galloped to the front of the rebels before dismounting. But when he was still a stone's throw away, he jumped off his horse and went on foot, and when his men saw it, they followed suit.
"The Purple Gold Tiger is really extraordinary." Ma Kuo said a word to the poor sour Xiucai beside him, and then took a big stride forward to meet him.
When the two met, Ma Kuo arched his hand and said loudly: "I have heard the name of Xu Jiu official in the morning, and I can see it today, which is enough to comfort my life."
Xu Wei saw that he was good-looking. The bearing is also extraordinary, and I think that there have been many heroes in Hebei since ancient times, so I don't support it, and I return the salute with a fist. The righteous sergeant brought the wine, and Ma Kuo presented a glass with both hands: "Commander Xu defeated the gold thief in a row, and set up this special honor, not only for the country's heroes, but also for my generation. Please. ”
Seeing him talking like this, Xu Weigao glanced at him, took the wine glass, but for some reason only drank half of it and handed it back. Unexpectedly. Ma Kuo was not surprised at all, and said with a smile: "Okay, there is half a cup left, and it is not too late to drink it after the expulsion of the northern captives and the restoration of the homeland!" Please Commander Xu and you will go up the mountain to talk! "Let's say that, put it to the side, and ask Xu Wei to go first.
Xu Wei knew that he was not a layman. also made a humble gesture, and Ma Kuo no longer insisted, leading the way in front. Yang Yan and the others were quite displeased when they saw it, thinking that you are just a volunteer leader, you have no official position, my family is the commander of the six-rank martial arts, how dare you be so big?
On the mountain, Xu Wei saw that the management of this was successful, and the soldiers were strong, and he knew that this person must be talented, so he had the heart to win over. When I got to a place, I looked up at the door plaque, and saw that the three words "Zu Chitang" were vigorous and powerful, like a knife chisel and axe carving. It's just that this name is inevitably weird, the rebel army has an uprising, mostly with "loyalty" as the call, you don't call it "Juyi Hall" but also call it "Zhongyi Hall" but take "Zuchi" as the name, and meet a half-irrigation. I thought you were a place to wash your feet.
After entering Zuchitang, Ma Kuo invited Xu Weitong to sit forward, and without a kind word, he said bluntly: "I have a big gift to give to Commander Xu, and I hope to accept it with a smile." After that, without waiting for Xu Wei to respond, he glanced at the talented person beside him. The latter went out of the hall, and after a short time, he saw seven or eight soldiers each holding iron ropes, and they would rush in a big bundle of people.
The man was about fifty feet away. Although he was tied up, it was not difficult to see that he was extremely majestic. His body was still covered with stump armor, his head was scattered and covered his face, and some of the iron ropes in the soldier's hands were tied around his waist, and some were tied to his ankles. There was even a leash around the neck.
As soon as the man came in, he shouted, "Tie it too quickly, beg for it!" ”
Who is this? Is it worth it? He is Xiang Yu's rebirth, Rengui is alive, and he will never be able to break free from this shackle.
"This is my gift, Commander Xu knows who this person is?" Ma asked with a smile.
Xu Wei couldn't recognize it after looking at it for a long time, so he shook his head. Ma Kuo smiled: "You are no stranger to this person, you can take a closer look." ”
Puzzled, Xu Wei got up and had to go. The seven or eight soldiers hurriedly pulled the iron ropes to prevent the gang from making trouble. Stretched out his hand to brush away the mess, and when he saw that face clearly, Xu Weifu was shocked! After being stunned for a moment, he also laughed. Yang Yan, Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing and the others did not know what to do, and almost at the same time got up to investigate.
Yue Fei Zaixing didn't recognize this person. But Yang Yan saw it at a glance! The year before last in Zijin, pontoon. This guy crossed the river to persuade Brother Jiu to surrender, and let Brother Jiu scold a bloody dog!
"Pharmacist Guo!" As soon as these three words of Yang Tang came out, all the generals of Hujie changed! This is Pharmacist Guo Yi? The sky has eyes, the two rivers are broken, this person can be described as "the greatest" and now falls into my hands, how to solve the hatred in my heart if I don't divide the corpse?
