Chapter 223: General Bi
General Bi was intimidating
The Sixtieth Man became famous in a fight
In the early days of the Northern Expedition of the Song Army on the East Road, Bi Zaiyu led 78 warriors to attack the city and capture the city of Sizhou. The accident of the commander-in-chief, it is a matter of life on the battlefield, and it is necessary to have real skills, and it must not be false at all. Marshal Guo Ren had to look at this officer surnamed Bi again, from the point of view of official rank, Wu Jielang, the military attache rampant in the thirty-eighth rank, belongs to the middle and lower classes, and was sent as the deputy commander of the right front compartment of the infantry division, which is equivalent to the deputy regimental position. In terms of age, he is fifty-nine years old, and he has reached the age of six, so he does not need to go to the battlefield to lead the troops. The appearance is dignified, tall and mighty, the spirit is magnificent, it can be seen that he is full of energy, he is a practitioner who never leaves his fist, and he has the demeanor of a general.
After a little inquiry, you will understand. This person is also a son of a family, and his ancestral home is Yanzhou, Shandong. His father's name is Bi Jin, and he is a young general under Yue Fei. During the Jianyan period, Bi Jin followed Yue Fei to protect the Eight Tombs, and then fought between the Jiang and Huai, and had many military exploits.
During the Longxing period, the eighteen-year-old Bi Zai met the official because of his grace and entered the barracks. Two years later, he was received by Emperor Xiaozong.
It was in the Yujin Garden test shooting, Bi Zai encountered excellent martial arts, extraordinary arm strength, both hands can pull the bow of two stones and seven buckets, backhand can open the bow of one stone and eight buckets, can shoot two stones on foot, and can shoot two stones and five buckets on horseback. Among the many Hercules, he came out on top. When Xiaozong heard this, he was very surprised, and immediately summoned him and asked him to perform live, and after watching, he said happily: "He will fight again in the future, and he will definitely let Er lead the troops to the battle." "Give him a robe and a hundred taels of gold.
The stone of the Song Dynasty is equivalent to about 80 catties, and the bow for archery has different levels. In that era, a bow that could draw five buckets with one stone was a first-class strongman.
Maybe it was Emperor Xiaozong's words that made him always keep it in mind, read military books, drill military formations, no matter the scorching summer or the severe cold of Sanjiu, he did not forget to practice boxing and sword. In the army, he did not fight for fame or profit, but worked in a down-to-earth manner.
I'm thirty years old, and I don't want to get married. The old lady is in a hurry, Deqing, let's get married and marry a daughter-in-law, my mother wants to hold her grandson.
Mother, it's not that the son is unfilial, the eldest husband should take it as his responsibility to make meritorious contributions and glorify the lintel, how can he indulge in the private affairs of his children.
Child, don't delay making achievements and getting married and having children, you say you want to go on the Northern Expedition every year, more than ten years have passed, how can there be a little bit of the Northern Expedition. If you don't get married again, how can I go to see your dead father for my mother? As he spoke, his eyes were red and tears welled up.
Bi Zai relented, mother, even if I am willing to get married, you see me, I have no fame, I have little money, I am a penniless poor boy, how can any girl be willing to marry me.
Which one said that? My son is burly, has good facial features, and serves in the Kyoto Forbidden Army, which is worse than others. Mother told you that there is really a good girl who has taken a fancy to you.
Who, do I know?
You know, it's the Yang family at the east end of our alley, the one with big eyes and small dimples, whose name is Hongyu.
She's so big, little yellow-haired girl.
The Yang family in Dongtou opened a baked cake workshop, and the Bi family often visited it, and adults and children knew each other. The owner, Uncle Yang, is a red-faced man, hard-working, and his wife Wang is virtuous and hardworking, and she smiles when she sees people. There are five children in the family, the first three are all married, Hongyu is the fourth, and the youngest is a younger brother.
Once, Bi Zaiyu was wearing civilian clothes and went to the east of the city to have something, and suddenly, he heard a noise. When I looked closer, Uncle Yang and his second daughter Hongxia were setting up a beach on the side of the road, there were three or four scoundrels, they didn't give money for eating baked cakes, and they had to tease Hongxia. Bi Zai stepped forward and shouted: Why don't you give money if you eat other people's things?
The scoundrel saw that this person was five big and three thick, and he was a little weak-hearted, but when he thought that he was too powerful, he disdained it: Which onion are you? What if Lao Tzu doesn't give money?
Bi Zaiyu stood in front of them: If you don't give money, don't want to leave!
There is a thief-eyed one, Lao Tzu is gone, what are you doing?
Bi encountered a sweep leg and kicked him to the ground. When the other two saw that the situation was not good, they raised their legs and ran, and he rushed forward with one stride, one in the other, like an eagle catching a chicken. Asked fiercely:
To give or not to give?
The scoundrel sees that he is not an opponent, and he is like garlic, give, give it now.
He said majestically: Listen, my name is Bi Zaiyu, this is my uncle, my sister, your grandfather, she is your aunt, tell you, if you are unreasonable and bully my uncle and sister, my surname Bi Bao will teach you to crawl and walk! Don't let them speak, kowtow to your grandfather and aunt three times, and get away.
The three of them gave money, kowtowed, got up and ran.
It was from that time that the Yang family began to pay attention to Bi Zaiyu. Wang once asked Bi's mother, your little father-in-law, have you ever been married? When will you get married?
Bi's mother replied: Where did the marriage come from? This kid is very tough, and he will not get married before thirty. There's nothing you can do about him.
So what kind of daughter-in-law should you choose? Do you want to find an official eunuch?
Virtuous and capable, as long as you are not afraid of hardship. The eunuchs can't afford to support them, so they can do their job.
A few days ago, the Yang family sent a matchmaker to say that as long as you don't dislike a small family, the third daughter, Hongyu, is willing to marry your young master.
Bi Mu took out a piece of paper, you see, this is Hongyu's birth date, and she is a full eighteen years old this year. My mother inquired, this girl is good-looking, good-looking, good character, my mother agreed, if you don't agree, my mother will die to show you.
Mother, what are you talking about, you are for my good, how can I not listen? Marry when you say.
That's what the words say. Don't you like heroes? She is your Liang Hongyu!
After getting married, Bi Zaiyu set three rules for himself: one is to never reach out to make money at any time, the second is not to marry a concubine for the rest of his life, and the third is to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy as long as he has the opportunity.
This is the growth experience of a civilian hero, no opportunity and no stage, ordinary and ordinary, there is an opportunity and a stage, and he shows his talents. Although he is over the age of six, his white hair is fluttering, his original intention has not changed, and his heart is strong.
Now set your sights on the battlefield and see what wonderful performances this dark horse has performed.
When Guo Zuo and Li Ruyi's troops were defeated in Suzhou, Bi Zaiyu led 480 cavalry from Sizhou to Xuzhou according to Guo Ren's deployment.
As soon as he came out of Hongxian County, he encountered the rout of Guo Zuo and Li Ruyi. Bi Zaiyu looked serious, felt the bad state of affairs, did not hesitate, and ordered to speed up the march. In Lingbi County, he met Chen Xiaoqing's department, which was preparing to withdraw the army. Bi Zaiyu persuaded Chen Xiaoqing: "Chen is in charge, the battle is always impermanent, although the battle of Suzhou cannot be won, but it cannot give up on itself because of this!" After a little trimming, we can start all over again, and the general might as well join forces with me and intercept the pursuing Jin army. ”
Chen Xiaoqing shook his head and sighed, the army was defeated like a mountain, morale was lost, how to fight again?
Bi Zaiyu's eyes were blazing, "I was ordered by Zhaofu to seize Xuzhou, and if I am here, I would rather die outside the north gate of the Lingbi than outside the south gate." ”。
At this time, Guo Ren's order to withdraw his troops had arrived, Chen Xiaoqing still insisted on retreating, and Bi Zaiyu disagreed: Guo and Li's army was defeated, and the gold thieves must chase after them, and we should block them here.
Chen Xiaoqing said: The marshal ordered me to withdraw our troops, but did not give an order to block the attack.
The marshal didn't give the order to block the attack, but we can't watch our team being chased and killed by the Jin army.
I can't do that much. Chen Xiaoqing ignored the persuasion, but still led his troops to retreat, and Bi Zaiyu had to meet the pursuing Jin army alone.
He clearly knew that this team of less than 500 people, if it was just to save his life, he could retreat like Chen Xiaoqing, but regardless of the battle situation, blindly saving his life was not the work of the eldest husband. If you stay, you will face danger, face the enemy with your sword, and show your true character as a hero.
In the Kyoto Infantry Division, he did not arrange for Bi to meet the battlefield again, he took the initiative to find the infantry commander and insisted on going to the front line.
There is a Phoenix Mountain in the north of Lingbi County, which can be condescending. Soldiers are cheating, and things are urgent. After getting acquainted with the terrain, he came up with a corresponding countermeasure.
Two hours later, Wanyan Zhounu led 5,000 cavalry to swarm and pursue the defeated Song army from north to south. When they arrived at the north gate of Lingbi, they were blocked.
With an unstable foothold, Bi Zaiyu led more than 400 cavalry to rush over from the mountain. The Jin army could never have imagined that in the retreat of the Song army on the whole line, there would be such an army that was not afraid of death, first surprised and inexplicable, and then looked at the hideous general under the banner of the word "Bi", remembered the legend of General Bi, saw the imposing dragon mount "Black Big Worm" under his crotch, saw the smoke and dust billowing behind him, and did not know how many tiger and wolf soldiers were coming on horseback. Many Jin troops were frightened by the white-bearded and majestic General Bi, and they retreated one after another, leaving an empty field.
There is a person who does not believe in evil. A golden general in his thirties, with a leopard's head and eyes, and a double hammer, jumped on his horse viciously, raised two iron shovels of more than 100 catties, and smashed them at Bi Zaiyu. I saw that Bi Zai was fearless, riding a big black insect, waving a double knife, and greeted him. For a while, the knife wedge flew, clanging, suddenly, Bi Zai met the knife in his left hand to hold the double mace, and his right hand slashed at its flank, the golden general screamed, the intestines came out, screamed, fell off the horse and died.
Bi Zaiyu's eyes widened angrily, and he raised the bloodied steel knife, a thief, dare to offend my China, take your life! This angry shout, like lightning and thunder, frightened the Jin army, and his morale collapsed, and he exclaimed: "General Bi is here!" The whole army fled.
Bi Zai met with a double knife in his hand, kill! More than 400 warriors followed, slashing and slashing, dyeing their robes red, and chasing for thirty miles before stopping.
On the battlefield, it is not only weapons, numbers, and strategy, but also courage and heroism, and only by not being afraid of death, daring to fight and dare to rush, can we not die, and then achieve the victory that everyone expects.
The daredevils rested and ate some dry food. Bi Zai met everyone's tired faces and asked, does anyone still remember Yue Wangye's "Man Jianghong". Not to mention, there is really one who stood up: General, I will.
Well, recite it to the brethren.
Angry hair rushed to the crown, relying on the place, Xiaoxiao rain rest.
Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, and be fierce.
Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons.
Don't wait, the young man's head is white, empty and sad.
Jing Kang is ashamed, and it is still snowing; When the courtiers hate, when will they perish.
Driving a long car is broken, and Helan Mountain is lacking.
Zhuang is hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Xiongnu blood.
To start from the beginning, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky.
At this point, the original plan to march into Xuzhou was no longer feasible. Then, he ordered the burning of Lingbi County and withdrew with lights.
Someone asked: Why do you light a fire during the day if you don't light it at night? Bi Zai Yu told him: Ignition at night will illuminate our reality, and during the day, ignition of fire and its smoke and dust can block the enemy's sight, and when the army retreats, the enemy cannot be approached, only in this way can the army march with peace of mind. How can you not understand the truth that it is easy to fight and then difficult to retreat? ”
Led the army back to Sizhou, Bi again met the first meritorious service, since Wu Jielang moved to the twenty-third rank as a martial arts doctor, and then quickly took on the heavy responsibility of the entire Lianghuai battlefield, and became the first fierce general of the Eastern Front battlefield.
