Chapter 766: Fighting against the water
Interestingly, no matter where he went, the people of Xujiazhuang followed him with the old and the young. However, the task of his trip was to recover Xiajin County, visit his homeland by the way, and also take this experience for King Xujun. It is impossible to stay for a long time, to put it cruelly, within today, he will have to lead the army back to the Daimyo, because Li Yang and the two will still have to wave their troops south.
When the news came out, the people of Xujiazhuang quit. When they saw Xu Jiu's troops fighting back to their hometown, the jī movement was palpable, but the joy had not yet passed, and you suddenly told him that we were just here to take a walk, take a look, and we had to leave immediately. How did he ask Xujiazhuang's father to let him go?
In the face of the villagers who stopped the horse's head and refused to let him go, Song Da repeatedly explained that the army came here to make a surprise attack on Hebei and create conditions for friendly troops on the battlefield in the Central Plains. Don't worry, once the Central Plains is recovered, is Hebei still far away? But the common people have suffered for more than ten or twenty years, where are they willing to listen to your reasoning? Left and right is a sentence, don't let go! Originally, how could ordinary people dare to stop the officials and soldiers of the imperial court? But the bad thing is that the people here are more or less related to Xu Jiu, and there are a few people who talk about generations, Xu Jiu still has to call people grandpa, how can this be done?
What especially gave Song Da a headache was that Xu San took seven or eight stunned youths, saying that he wanted to follow the army and serve the country from the army, and he didn't want to stay in Xujiazhuang to waste his time. We came to Hebei to fight, and we didn't say that we wanted to recruit troops, and Song Da could hear it, these boys thought that they had some kinship with King Xujun, and they could find an official and a half-position as soon as they went, but they didn't know that they followed King Xujun back then, and now twenty years have passed, and they have only survived step by step to become the commander, just rely on a few raw melons and eggs, and you have no qualifications to enter the front-line troops, let alone the horse army, let alone be an officer.
Later, there was really no way, General Song's heart was crossed, and he told him bluntly. If I stay overnight in Xujiazhuang today and go back tomorrow, I will be punished for the crime of delaying the military aircraft, and I will lose my official position at least and lose my head at worst. Since you are so gracious, I will stay, but from now on, my old father will ask you to take care of me.
Speaking of which, Xujiazhuang's fathers have no choice. Knowing that he couldn't keep it, he asked Song Da to wait a while, and everyone rushed back, took out the things that had been treasured for a long time, and asked them to bring them to their relatives in the Western Army. It's not anything extraordinarily expensive, a pair of shoes, a robe, or a relic of your parents, or a few buns, a basket of eggs, or anything like that.
Faced with this situation, Song Da was a little ashamed. When an elder with a very high rank in the village asked him to give a few cakes to Xu Wei, and told him that this was the grain grown in Xujiazhuang, and hoped that after Xu Jiu ate it, he would not forget that there were still his relatives here. Song Da was speechless......
When he returned, he was timid, and when he left, he was speechless. Looking back, I saw that the fathers and elders in my hometown were still gathered in the village, and kept waving their hands, Song Da sighed and said to the brothers next to him: "If you can't fight back, how can you face the fathers and villagers?" Speak up to the king. ”
What Song Da and the people of Xujiazhuang didn't know was that their hopes were about to be achieved. Because on the battlefield of the Central Plains, under the unified command of Wang Zheyan of Fenyang County, the three-way Song army has formed a siege of Kaifeng Mansion. At present, the Shenwu rear army led by Han Shizhong and Yue Fei has arrived at the designated place, joined forces with the Shenwu front army of the Zhe family, and is stationed in Malanqiao Town, southwest of Kaifeng Prefecture.
And the Huaixi Military Department of the Shenwu Chinese Army under the command of the Liu family brothers was already anxiously waiting for orders. The chief general of the Jin army, Wuyan Puluhun, held the mentality of fighting with his back to the water, and gathered Jīng Rui in the Tokyo area, intending to fight to the death with the Song army, and the victory or defeat was here. To be honest, although the Song army has won successive battles and recovered a large amount of lost land, the real decisive battle has not yet begun. The last battle will determine who can enter the Central Plains!
If the Song army wins, then it is not said, the old capital of Tokyo, which has been occupied for many years, is declared to be recovered, which is of great significance and will greatly inspire the whole people. If Jin Jun wins, it will be a great blow to Song Jun. In this Northern Expedition, the imperial court can be said to have done its best and placed high hopes on it, if it fails, what will be lost is not only the lost land that was previously recovered, but also the main battle faction ministers represented by Xu Liang, but also the route of the Great Song Dynasty. To put it bluntly, if this battle is lost, the Lord and the faction will definitely gain power.
A person like Zhi Zhonggu, who has been a ruler and commanded a large army, obviously sees it very clearly. So at the last moment, he tried his best to be steady, for fear that something would go wrong.
At the end of October, Orihiko ordered an attack, with the Yue Fei Department of the Shenmu Hou Army as the vanguard, and smashed directly into Tokyo. Yue Fei's troops left Malanqiao Town, and the whole army was high-spirited, and broke through the Jin army's blocking force of thousands of people in Fugou County, and defeated the first Jin army the next day, and the spearhead was directed at Tokyo. And Zhi Yanzhi and others followed the army forward, and at the same time sent someone to order Liu Guangguo of the Huaixi Army to march into Kaifeng. At this time, Wuyan Puluhun had already detected that the main force of the Song army was coming all over the mountains, stretching for more than ten miles, and he continued to send small forces out to let the Song army defeat, so as to slow down its military spirit and make it relax. At the same time, the main force was placed in Zhuxian Town, which was only more than forty miles away from the city of Tokyo. The meaning is very obvious, that is, with your back to Tokyo, you will fight a battle of life and death!
In order to express his will to advance without retreating, Pu Luhun ordered that the families of the generals in the army be gathered together and placed somewhere in the city of Tokyo. What do you mean? If we win, we don't mention anything, if we lose, we will fight on the front line, and these families in the city will also go on the road together! I have to say that this is a ruthless man, he didn't leave any room for himself at all, and he had the courage of "dying if he doesn't win" in the Tiger Army.
And the soldiers of the Jin Army, regardless of race, also know that there is no way out, except for a desperate battle, there is no way. Pu Luhun also continued to preach among the army that the commander of the army this time was defeated by the Jin army a few years ago, and he was not to be feared, and it was like playing with him. It is estimated that it will take at least two to three days for the main force of the Song army to reach Zhuxian Town, and the Jin army is taking this opportunity to make preparations nervously.
There is no impermeable wall in this world, and the people of Tokyo have long known that the imperial court has begun the Northern Expedition. Moreover, the battle situation on the front line was constantly transmitted back through various channels, and they were looking forward to it, only looking forward to the early determination of the Central Plains by the Wang Division, and ending their days of "looking south to the Wang Division".
When the news that the official army had entered Kaifeng Mansion came out, rumors spread in the city of Tokyo, saying that the army of the king of Zhejun would not be able to jump for a few days, and it was only an overnight moment that the army of the king of Zhejun came to the city
