Chapter 266: I Have Decided to Make

The horse tightened his robe. The heavy injuries have improved, but the Shaanxi men who have to carry the luck in the past have recently been "low-key." Many. Facing the expectant gazes of everyone, he said slowly: "The Jin army has a watchtower, and if you transfer troops in the city, you will not be able to escape the eyes and ears of the other party." It can also be bombarded with robes. Moreover, there are not many troops in the city, so it is better to transfer thousands of soldiers and horses into the city outside the West City, which is very convenient for the civil and military forces in the hall to look at each other, such a simple thing We didn't think of it for a while! Xu Wei also secretly exclaimed ashamed, he was really a fan of the authorities. Lookers-on see most of the game. A military order was immediately issued, ordering Shao Yi to send men and horses into the city to take over the car.

The attacks between the two sides continued, and the streets of Binh Duong's western city were littered with stone bullets, and houses collapsed in pieces. Fortunately, Pingyang City has experienced several military disasters. Most of the residents in the city have already fled, otherwise they don't know how many lives will be taken by the robes for half a day!

A special unit was waiting outside the range of the projectiles, wearing no armor or weapons, with girdles and sleeves, each carrying a pair of baskets on their shoulders. in the basket. It was filled with bread, cooked meat, and soup in a vat. There's not a trace of heat left. A group of heavily armed soldiers at the front of the line observed where the projectiles were falling, and finally found a passage through which they could lead the men through quickly.

The flat pole trembled and flashed, and there was a creaking sound, and the guys who used the stove as the battlefield were also on the front line today. Everyone tightened their skins, lest the eyeless stone bullets fall from the sky. The soldiers kept urging, and from time to time the full ammunition landed not far away, making a deafening sound. When the house collapsed, the smoke and dust were raised and blinded the eyes, and the people choked on breath, but the men did not care much, and the brothers in the city did not even eat breakfast.

"Beware!" An exclamation rang out! It was late, and a stone bullet was impartial and hit the team that delivered the meal. The man carrying the dough was a Shandong man, and his tower-like body was smashed short. The boulder pressed against the lower half of his body, and a large mouthful of blood continued to overflow from his mouth, and it seemed that he could not be saved.

There was no time to grieve, and the frightened companion hurriedly picked up the bread on the ground and threw it into the basket. A soldier picked up the load with a pole gun and continued to advance. When the food is delivered to the city. The defenders erupted in cheers. When a piece of bread as cold as a stone was brought to them, they thought it was now more beautiful than the face of a camp prostitute.

A commander snatched two pieces of bread, grabbed a handful of meat and handed it to Yang Yan. The one-eyed tiger net took a bite, spit out with a "phew", turned over and looked at it, and couldn't help shouting angrily: "Straight lady thief!" How did the guy get it, where did the blood come from on this cake! After going down to the city, Lao Tzu picked the skin of the secretary to join the army! ”

"Yang rule, that is the soldier's blood and food, took the time to answer. The noisy soldiers around suddenly fell silent, and even the fat man who was eating and chopping was dark. The chewing amplitude is significantly smaller.

Yang Yan was stunned, and finally lowered his head and chewed it in a big gulp. Because I ate too hard. A mouthful of bread choked in his throat, and he couldn't breathe. Pick up a piece of tile from the ground, drag it back and forth on the trouser leg, reach into the clay jar and scoop up a nest of soup and squeeze it down.

In the sky overhead, stone bullets never stopped. The walls at his feet also shivered from time to time. The volley of hundreds of robe carts is unimaginable for people who have not seen it with their own eyes. The soldiers could only hide behind the women's wall, and even the magic arm bow in their hands would not be useful.

Yang Yan ate two cakes and filled a stomach full of soup. Finally feel better. Breathing out a few mouthfuls of white mist, he straightened his legs against the city wall and was about to rest. But a small thing appeared in front of him, slowly floated down, and finally landed on the back of his hand, and disappeared in an instant, leaving only a drop of crystal water.

Snowing? When I looked up, I saw the sparse snowflakes slowly falling in the sharp gap of the stone bullets, and it was really snowing!

Ruixue mega year, this year's Shaanxi Hedong drought, this snow, next year should be a good year.

But the Hujie soldiers were not happy, the cold weather was a severe test for the Song army, and now it was snowing, and the days ahead would be even more difficult. And the birds in the north outside, just rolling in the ice and snow when they have nothing to do, they are not afraid of the bad climate at all.

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, blurring the vision. The robes of the Jin army did not stop a little because of the sudden heavy snowfall.

In the Jin military camp, the committee ran out of the big tent and looked at the snowflakes flying in the sky happily. God help me! The Jurchen people rose in the forests of the Northland, and have been tempered by the cold for generations. Snow said to our military tent. That's a good sign! And most of the Song army is intolerant of the cold, and my non-stop robes around the clock will definitely hit their morale hard! As long as Pingyang is broken, our whole army will rush south, and if we are lucky, we may be able to encounter the freezing of the Yellow River! In this way, Shaanxi is all in sight!

"Marshal! Marshal! Snow is falling from the sky, which is a sign of victory! "Jermas came in five strides. Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

The concubines all moved, and it was rare to show a smile, and they said angrily: "Not bad! Xu Wei thought that he was presiding over Hedong and reorganizing the defense to block the army of our Jin Kingdom, but this, what is this called? .

"People are not as good as heaven!" Originally a Liao minister, Yelu Ma Wu, who was proficient in Han culture, prompted.

"That's exactly what I said! When I take Pingyang and march into Guanzhong, the land of Pingchuan is the place where I can ride iron! Didn't the Western Army of the Southern Dynasty claim to be able to fight? That's a real "field!" Lou Su shouted loudly, and the ten soldiers who provoked the garrison under the tent couldn't help but take Shaanxi with the carp division, and then find an opportunity to enter Sichuan to prevent Song Tianzi from retreating to Shu. If it succeeds, the Southern Dynasty will be closed! The merit of destroying the Song Dynasty, my Western Route Army will make great contributions, even if the fourth prince is brave, he should bow down!

Only then did Yelu Mawu remember the purpose of his coming, and hurriedly reported: "Marshal, the return fire of the Song army's robe car has just stopped for a while. Wangzi reported. There were troops entering the city on the two low walls outside the west city. In my estimation, this is probably a change of hands. ”

"Oh?" This remark caught the attention of the commissioner. After thinking about it, he guessed a rough idea, looking at Xu Wei's usual battle examples, except for the Purple Mountain guarding the bridge, the others fought field battles, and he was unique in the Song army. But this time, I didn't even see any other figure, and I shrank in the city. What does this mean? This shows that Hedong has insufficient troops! Otherwise, with the fame of the Purple Golden Tiger, wouldn't he have set up a position to fight with me earlier?

"Ma Wu, our army must break the city as soon as possible." Figured it out. The smile on his face was gone. "Zijin Tiger is the general of the Southern Army. He is a good use of soldiers and is famous for fighting for dominance in the field. Since he gave up the field battle to hold the city, it was obvious that the troops in Hedong were insufficient. But Shaanxi is strong and strong, what does it mean? ”

"It shows that at this moment, Shaanxi Wulu is actively preparing for war, and Xu Wei is buying time for the Western Army." Ye Ma Wuyi said.

Wanyan Poison Su showed an approving gaze, nodded frequently, and said, "Exactly!" Therefore, it is necessary to break through Pingyang as soon as possible and march into Guanzhong, without giving the Western Army sufficient time to prepare. With a thunderous blow from our army, the roads of Shaanxi will be torn apart! Pass my military order, and after two days of robes, you will go all out to capture the city! ”

Ming Shou was about to reach the end of the year, and the official family had just changed the year name "Longxing" when the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty for the third time. The government and the opposition panicked, and the whole country was shaken, especially when Dongping Mansion was in a state of emergency. The Jurchen two-way army, as soon as the west road went out, they blocked Pingyang and let Xu Wei block it.

After Liu Yu surrendered to the city, the fourth prince completed the Yan Wushu and forced Dongping Mansion. Shuai Shou Xu Hong guarded the lonely city with a lonely division, and with the support of the Hebei Zhaofu Division, he commanded Yue Fei and other generals to thwart the fierce flames of vultures. In particular, the horse army commanded by Yue Pengju made the Jurchens who grew up on horseback since they were children look at it differently. It turns out that in the Southern Army, there are also soldiers who dare to compete on horseback!

After the defeat of the Gaitian King Wanyan Saili, the Wushu himself brought a large army to come. And this time, what appeared in front of the Song army was a cavalry they had never seen before! The men and horses were heavily armoured, and the knights on the horses even showed only two eye sockets, and they charged and shook the mountains. Invincible! It caused great panic and losses to the Song army. At this time. If Xu Wei is here. He will tell the fifth brother of Zimao. This is called "Tiefutu" is the Jurchen heavy cavalry, it is not invincible in the world. It was only necessary to place more obstacles in front of the battle, then fire a salvo with a bow and crossbow, and then restrain its impact with a dense mass of heavy infantry.

Unfortunately, Xu Hong didn't know this. He and Yue Fei's troops were not as well-equipped as the Hujie Township Army, and they did not have a large-scale and stable heavy step like Mount Tai. There is no strong crossbow that can pierce through the golden stone. Tiefutu came together and forcibly restrained this handsome man who is good at fighting tough and evil battles.

After retreating to the city, Xu Hong faced Tokyo urgently, and convened the generals to discuss countermeasures. At the end of November, in his last field battle. The shortcomings of the Iron Floating Massacre can only charge and cannot be stationed in battle. Send Yue Fei to lead the light cavalry, and after the enemy's heavy cavalry rushes through the military formation, chase after the opponent's ass and beat! However, although this innovative tactic played a certain role, the disparity in strength of the Shandong and Hebei coalition forces was huge, and after all, it could not stop the coordinated onslaught of all arms of the Wanyan Wushu. Dongping Mansion has fallen!

When Tokyo heard the news, the whole city was shocked! Zhao Huan was urgently transferred to Zhang Shuye, who was sitting in Luoyang, Xijing, as early as the beginning of the month, to lead the army to King Qin, and promoted He Guan's eldest son He Ji to be the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace and command the Changjie army. However, after tens of thousands of soldiers and horses gathered in the capital, they did not start to strengthen defense. This made the people of Tokyo, who were preparing to fight the enemy together with the army, have a strange taste. At the end of the month, the privy envoy Xu Shao issued a military order ordering the army of the Hebei Zhaofu Division stationed in the Daimyo Mansion to resist the Jinguo East Route Army. There are all kinds of signs that there will be big things to come!

Panic spreads throughout the city. The people of the capital who experienced two southern invasions by the Jin army. In fact, it has long been calm. We are not afraid of the attack of Beiyi, the army and the people are of the same heart, and the city is to defend against the enemy. But this time it was different, the forbidden army had no intention of strengthening the city defense, and the troops brought by Zhang Liushou from Luoyang did not enter the city at all, and they were all stationed in Zhuxian Town, what was the court going to do?

Rumors are circulating in the capital, and there is one that is particularly moving. It is said that the official family is ready to give up the imperial capital that the ancestors of the past generations have painstakingly managed. It is necessary to retreat to Guanzhong and patrol Chang'an. Tai students are always the most active when the national disaster is at hand, and once again blocked outside the Xuande Gate, asking the court to give an explanation. With the bloody precedent in the past, the chamberlains could not leave the palace gate for a single step, Geng Nanzhong knew that he would not recruit Shilin to be seen, so he simply begged Zhao Huan for permission. Living in Zhongshu Province can't come out.

In the end, the imperial court sent Qin Gun, the chief of Taiwan, to appease the students and the people, and Qin Huizhi stood outside the Xuande Gate, facing hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, and swore that the so-called abandonment of Tokyo was purely fictional, and it was actually an act of good deeds and people, lest the world be chaotic. In addition, he also made an announcement to the military and civilians in Tokyo. It is said that it is more than 200,000 of the Western Route Army of the Jin State, and the murderous rush down from Taiyuan, as soon as they go out, let the Ziwei block in Pingyang, the city is not broken, and the casualties are miserable At present, Shaanxi Liulu controls the Kaijie army, ready to attack the enemy head-on!

This "good news" more or less calmed the people. The place we recognize as a little Xu official is the one who used to live in Xu Mansion in Xishuimen. What a martyr! Xu Taishi fought in the south and the north, turning the tide, but unfortunately died of illness, the three armies were folded and hung up, and the country lost a Great Wall. OK. The tiger father has no dog son, Xiao Xu Xianggong is blocking in the east of the river, and the western army has always been good at fighting, hoping to block the Jin army.

Just as the crowd of petitioners besieging the imperial city was about to disperse, someone asked, the Jin army on the west road was blocked, but what about the east road? Dongping Mansion has been captured by the Jurchens, how far is it from here, why is the Luoyang army left behind by Zhang stationed in Zhuxian Town so far? Why didn't he go to the front to meet the enemy? Qin Xuan hissed and explained that Xu Shumi had already transferred the troops of the Hebei Zhaofu Division to block the incoming enemy, so you don't have to worry. It is good to talk about it, and finally persuade the people to quit.

Late at night, the capital, which had been jubilant all night, was quieted down in advance because of the Jin people Nankou, although the imperial court did not declare martial law.

Xu Shao walked out of the official residence from the side door, and when he stepped out of the threshold, he almost fell. This made the old family who had served him for many years very puzzled, the privy minister was born as a military minister, he could fight tigers in the mountains, and he could catch dragons in the sea, so why did he always look worried about Zhongzhong recently?

"Xianggong. Don't bother, right? Holding Xu Shao, the old family said with concern.

Xu Shao shook his head, and just as he got into the sedan chair, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and hesitated. Beckoned. The old family hurriedly listened to the ear, but heard Xianggong say softly: "Packed up the soft overnight, the servants in the house were dismissed, and the important thing left was to finish the words and get into the sedan chair." Hurried away with the attendants who came out of the palace. The dumbfounded old servant was left standing there on the spot.

Sitting in the sedan chair, Xu Shao leaned on a little weakly. Who would have thought that in just over two years, the Jurchens would make a comeback again! It is reported by the front. Jin Guo can be regarded as pouring out of the nest this time! Its Western Route Army alone is known as more than 200,000! Blunder! Some time ago, the Sanlu Western Army should not have provoked the Jin Army! Now it's good, poke the hornet's nest! The Jurchens used the excuse that we had broken the alliance and broke the covenant, and they committed it on a large scale. It makes us feel like we're out of order.

Lao Jiu recruited Hedong, and now he is surrounded in Pingyang City, and he doesn't know what the situation is. Li Gang preached Shaanxi, but he was a civil servant and did not know military affairs. He Guan is experienced in a hundred battles, but his qualifications cannot be compared with the veterans of the Western Army in the seed division, and secondly, he has a discord with Li Gang. The situation in Shaanxi is also worrying! In the more than 170 years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, has it really reached the point where it is full of holes and is terminally ill?

In the past few days, the detailed discussion department has not discussed the enemy's strategy at all. Hustle, entangled in one thing. That is, whether the official family can go or not, they have to go. Where are you going? The Minister of the Main War faction of the First Army strongly opposed the abandonment of Tokyo. Require the official family to stick to the community. But more ministers from the first two invasions of the Jin army understood a truth, Tokyo is really no danger to defend, rather than in Tokyo to be afraid, in case of trouble, to transfer troops everywhere to serve the king, making the world chickens and dogs jump, it is better to retreat to one place, from the long-term.

However, even these ministers who agreed to abandon Tokyo had different opinions. Some people support going to Jingzhao, and in the name of the royal driving pro-expedition. Shaanxi Liulu was inspired by this, and he didn't fight bloodily? There are hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers guarding the guards, not to mention foolproof, at least it is safer than Dongji, isn't it? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Shaanxi is lost, we can still retreat to the fourth. Guarding the country of abundance, starvation will not die. Don't be afraid, haven't you heard of the difficulty of Shu Road, and it is difficult to go to the sky?

The ministers, represented by Geng Nanzhong, were opposed, and they suggested retreating south to Jiangning. Go to Zhenjiang. Go to Hangzhou. You can go anywhere, but you can't go to Shaanxi. And the words are very straightforward, I can't believe the Western Army! What is the difference between that group of splashes and bandits, except for wearing the skin of Zhang Banjun? How can the official family be trapped in the land of tigers and wolves? Hundreds of thousands of strong soldiers are stationed there, in case there is one. When someone else's head is hot, they raise troops to make trouble, how did they get born? The prosperity and wealth of the south of the Yangtze River is also a waterway, and the Jurchens are on horseback, but do you dare to go into the water?

It's impossible to quarrel in the detailed division like this. After listening to this and that, the official family still couldn't make up his mind. Tonight, the chamberlain suddenly came to the palace, saying that it was urgently summoned by the Son of Heaven, could it be that the emperor had made up his mind?

The sedan chair stopped, and Xu Shao knew that it was forbidden. When he got off the sedan chair, he even had to hold on to the official bridge, and when the waiter saw it, he hurriedly came over to support him. Walking all the way through the palace, Xu Shao saw the chamberlain, the palace ethereal, and the officials running back and forth, and he was in a panic. My heart was shocked, this was preparing to evacuate! The official family has already made a decision, just. Where to retreat? Shaanxi? Gangnam?

Struggled to speed up the pace, and after a short time to the outside of the vertical arch hall, I saw Geng Nanzhong, He Li, Zhe Yanzhen, Qin Bao and others waiting outside the hall. Compared with the usual steady Mount Tai, at this time, these important members of the court were pacing one by one, looking extremely anxious. As soon as they saw him coming, except for Geng Nanzhong, everyone else gathered around and asked nonsense.

When it was in chaos, the attendants in the palace went out to announce the edict, and the official family summoned him. The ministers hurried in. I saw the Son of Heaven sitting behind the imperial case, motionless. There was no expression on his face, like a mud tire.

Pushing the gold mountain, pouring the jade pillar, the number of rituals was not finished, and Zhao Huan's voice suddenly sounded: "The joint intention has been decided." Read the latest Dong Jie on the wash stream book and dry the fine concave and say that the situation is Shanqi umbrella
