When Zheng Zhi crossed the Juma River here and entered Xiongzhou, the first thing he said was: "Wu Song, you quickly lead your troops to the Xiongzhou Mansion, drive all the officials out of the Mansion, and imprison them." Leave officials to do ordinary errands, and leave a literate general to manage Xiongzhou, which is temporarily governed by the military on behalf of the government. ”

Wu Song listened to the order and took his subordinates and went straight to the capital of Xiongzhou. Zheng Zhi is short of government talents, and now the temporary solution is to carry out military control, organize the military government to strengthen the management of the state capital, Hebei has been peaceful for a hundred years, and most of all government affairs are relatively regular and simple, which also brings a lot of convenience to the military government. It's also a good idea to use it temporarily.

Wu Song went to the state city, but Zheng Zhi went straight to the camp. There are more than 1,000 iron armors in the camp, and there is also a Tong Guan who is inevitable every night.

Tong Guan was pacing in the big tent, his hair was getting grayer and grayer, he had lost a lot of weight, and his originally red face had many wrinkles.

Zheng Zhi came in to pay a visit, Tong Guan's face was full of excitement, and he said: "Zheng Zhi, Zheng Zhi, you teach me how to be good." ”

Zheng Zhi bowed up, stepped forward to support the old Tong Guan, and said, "Enxiang sits down first, I came here to discuss this matter with Enxiang in detail." ”

Hearing this, Tong Guan sat down slowly, and asked again, "Alas... It's at my age, and if you count it in detail, there are eight out of sixty. It's about to be in the woods, and there are not a few days left to live. It turned out that he was bent on recovering Yanyun and sealing the king to leave history. Now that Yan Yun has received it, this little thought has also been extinguished. If I die, it doesn't matter, and I'm at a damned age. But it's you, who have a family and a child, children and daughters, and so many men who follow you. This matter has come to this point, have you ever thought about how it will end? ”

When Zheng Zhi heard this, he also sighed, looked at the worry on the face of the old man in front of him, and listened to the words of this old man, and his heart was really moved. He slowly spoke: "Enxiang, now that it has reached this point, there is no way to retreat, and Enxiang also knows a lot about military affairs, and I will lead the army to the south this time to prepare for a war." If it's a war, it's a matter of life and death. If you can really recreate a world, what does Eun Xiang think? ”

Tong Guan was shocked when he heard this, his eyes looked at Zheng Zhi, his facial muscles were trembling, and his hands were trembling, but he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

Zheng Zhi saw Tong Guan's reaction, and hurriedly said: "If Enxiang is willing to stay in Hebei and enjoy his old age in peace, if he lives longer, he can see that I can get away with it, and I will also be a long-cherished wish." If Eun Xiang doesn't want to stay here, or is willing to go back to Tokyo, I also have my own way to get rid of Eun Xiang's great guilt, and after I go back, my official position will definitely be gone, and I should be able to spend a peaceful old age, but Eun Xiang should take care of it and beware of the villain scourge in Tokyo. ”

It is impossible for Zheng Zhi's own affairs to turn back, but Tong Guan's wishes must still be respected. At this point, Zheng Zhi gave the choice to Tong Guan, and if Tong Guan really wanted to return to Beijing, Zheng Zhi was still a little worried.

Tong Guan licked his lips and said in trembling words: "Zheng Zhi, are you really going to rebel?" ”

Tong Guan, who has had a bumpy life, has seen too much of the world, whether it is the court, or the battle array, or serving the emperor, Tong Guan can do very well. But Tong Guan has never thought about a rebellion in his life, and this kind of thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with a high-ranking eunuch like him.

Zheng Zhi nodded firmly and said: "Everyone is a life, fighting with the Western Xia, fighting with the Liao, and even fighting with the Jurchens in the future, all of them are loyal to the country." But this Great Song Dynasty has never allowed a martial artist, and if I am a eunuch like Enxiang, it doesn't matter. But I have no way out, how did Di Xianggong succumb to Tokyo, and how sad the Xianggong of the family was. If there is only such a path in front of me, I don't want to take it, and I don't want to take it. There are so many brothers who were born and died under their command, they have no ability to settle down, only the ability to sacrifice their lives to fight, if they all end up with a rabbit and a dead dog, how can they be at ease. Grace can ignore these men who were born and died, but I can't ignore it, love and righteousness are the foundation of people, if they are ruthless and unrighteous, how can they exist in the world. ”

Zheng Zhi said extremely sincerely, and it also touched Zheng Zhi's own inner emotions, and one by one living faces kept flashing in front of him. One threat after another is also in Zheng Zhi's mind, those millions of party members, without strong troops, will eventually be a disaster. The Jurchens are neighbors, and if there are no strong soldiers to deal with, it is also the consequence of a catastrophe. And the wolves on the steppe, even if they don't last a few decades, will also wreak havoc on the earth.

In the era of the stormy future, Zheng Zhi was confident that he could suppress the vast land with his hands, and now with this power and status, he already has a feeling of giving up on himself.

Tong Guan was still looking at Zheng Zhi, and after a while, he slowly moved his eyes away, and his figure slowly withered, and he felt that he was much older in an instant.

"Zheng Zhi, you are ambitious, but I am deeply favored by three generations of emperors. If you meet you today before entering the palace at the age of twenty, and take your life to fight with you, what if you have a fight. I don't have a few years to live, and I have all the blessings that I deserve in the world. You are a man of affection and righteousness, I know it in my heart. I should also be affectionate and righteous once, if I don't have an official family, I won't have the blessings of the rest of my life. Go back to Tokyo, die in Tokyo, be born in Kaifeng Mansion, die in Kaifeng Mansion, and be buried in the ancestral grave. If you don't have an heir, you can't be a lonely ghost. Tong Guan burst into tears, full of sadness. At this moment, Tong Guan is not only old, but his heart is no longer what it used to be, and his heart is also old.

Zheng Zhi also had tears in his eyes, and said slowly: "Okay... Okay, let's go back to Kaifeng Mansion. If one day you are lucky enough to rebuild this world, there are records in the history books, Tong Guan, the meritorious service of the founding of the country, the posthumous title of the King of Song, and the name of Zhongwu! ”

Tong Guan supported the armrests of the chair with both hands, stood up slowly, then waved his hand, and only said: "After death, I can't care so much." ”

After saying this, Tong Guan turned his back and left, leaving only a back and Zheng Zhi.

Zheng Zhi nodded, slowly withdrew from the big tent, and left a sentence before leaving: "Enxiang sleeps early tonight and goes south tomorrow." ”

Tong Guan didn't say a word, only reached out and wiped the tears on his face. Everything turned into nothing, the weight of the court, the power of authority, and the courage of the battlefield.

For this eunuch, it's all over!

Outside the castle of the Daimyo's Mansion, the drums beat loudly. Countless soldiers dressed in red and blue cloth uniforms, round-brimmed felt hats, and armed with wooden poles and spears began to rush towards the city wall.

The shouting was so loud that it could frighten the people in the countryside for several miles, so frightened that everyone hid in their homes and shivered, and some people packed up their belongings and went to the mountains and forests to hide.

Cai Jing has a look of hope and longing, and there is also a lot of self-confidence in his heart, this self-confidence comes from the military men all over the mountains, and also from the contempt of the literati for the battle array. Human nature has always been like this.

There was no military plan, and there was not much strategic command, but tens of thousands of horses rushed to the city wall.

The seed master looked worried, and kept looking back and forth. The planter squinted his eyes slightly, sitting on the chair, the old god was there, but the battle had not yet started, and the two brothers seemed to have guessed the ending.

Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed up to shout and kill, but Cai Jing opened his mouth and smiled: "It seems that the people in the city are weak, and the army has begun to attack the city, but I don't see any movement from the people on the city." This battle is decided. ”

Hearing this, the seed master hurriedly explained: "Taishi, the army charged too early, and it consumed a lot of physical strength in vain. Before the bow and crossbow are within range, the defenders will not move. ”

In the opinion of the cultivator, the siege battle, where is the rush forward from the beginning. It should be in a battle formation, moving forward steadily, until the arrow is within range, and then a rapid charge will be launched. Such an arrangement is reasonable.

When Cai Jing heard this, he turned his head and asked, "What is the range of the crossbow?" ”

This Taishi Cai didn't care about his ignorance just now, but he was a little bit of a way to learn to fight on the spot.

"Taishi, the general standard crossbow in the army is more than 100 steps, if it is powerful, you can use a better crossbow to shoot 200 steps. The bed crossbow also has a range of 300 paces. The Seed Master opened his mouth to explain.

"Look at the front of you, the soldiers have already entered within three hundred steps, why haven't you seen the crossbow fired at the head of the city, I think it must be that the army in the city is in turmoil." Cai Jing said again.

Seed Master Dao frowned, and replied: "The bed crossbow has a lot of power, and it can penetrate the body of several people. If it is fired in 300 steps, it can only kill and injure one person, and if it is launched within 200 steps, it can shoot down at least three people. It is not launched within 300 steps. ”

For these things, the Dao of the Seed Master naturally opened his mouth. Explain this Cai Jing to listen, but there is a sense of powerlessness in my heart.

As soon as the words of the planter had just fallen, I saw a black dot rising from the sky above the city.

Cai Jing's gaze followed the black dot from far to near, from high to low. And then it landed in the middle of the crowd.

Immediately there was a loud wail, and many of the people who swarmed up in the tight crowd fell to the ground. But Cai Jing, who was on the platform, couldn't see the tragic situation of blood flying. He shouted, "Order everyone to speed up and climb to the wall." Kill the thief general, the official will be promoted to the third level, and the reward will be 10,000 yuan. ”

Military Cai Jing doesn't understand, but the basic means of inspiration, Cai Jing is at his fingertips.

It's just that the soldiers under the stage received the order and rode out, and they couldn't go far, but they didn't know how to convey this order in the face of the vast sea of people.

A general at the head of the city suddenly shouted at a soldier: "Why don't you shoot? ”

Hearing this, the military man was shocked, and said, "Small. . . Small.. The bow and crossbow are broken. ”

Obviously, in the face of the imperial army, this military man can't do it, and he doesn't dare to do it. The bow and crossbow are broken, and this excuse obviously can't deceive anyone.

The general looked up at the Tokyo Forbidden Army, which was getting closer and closer, and said angrily: "Come on, behead this guy and show it to the public, and if there are any more snubbers, there will be no forgiveness." ”

The two soldiers on the left and right rushed to the head and pressed the soldier who did not dare to shoot arrows to the ground. The general personally pulled out his waist knife, and his head had already landed.

Wartime military law is always so harsh. For generals, there is no other quick solution, although the army often says that both grace and power are important, but in fact it is always more important than grace. If an army does not have coercive means to manage, how can it withstand the sea of corpses and blood.

Sure enough, after this person's head hit the ground, the left and right soldiers shot harder and harder.

Ruda was dressed in armor heavier than the others, and he was already patrolling back and forth under the city wall with a treasure sword.

The bows and crossbows under the city walls also began to attack, and many men of the Tokyo Forbidden Army who received crossbows also began to shoot at the top of the city at this time, but the accuracy of this shooting was really unsatisfactory. There are only a handful of people who can shoot feather arrows at the head of the city.

The arrow flew a few meters above Luda's head, and Luda looked up and said, "The sassaga rolling stone and fire oil are ready!" ”

The southern wall of the fierce battle was only 3,000 men, and there were more than 1,000 people distributed on the other three sides. Three thousand defenders is really not much for such a long section of the city wall of the Daimyo's Mansion, and there is still room on the city wall road for Ruda and the soldiers to run their horses.

But the city wall guarded by these 3,000 people is already like a moat in front of the 100,000 Tokyo forbidden troops.

After a few rounds of arrow rain, the tragic scenes that happened around me are all clear. The forbidden army men who followed the generals to the city wall and began to erect a long ladder.

The rolling stones above the city poured down, and no one was willing to climb the long ladder beside them.

Suddenly, a pot of hot oil spilled down from the city, and seven or eight men rolled on the spot, crying and wailing. Everyone around them was hiding in all directions, but there was a steady stream of soldiers coming forward behind them, and they were already crowded together.

When the boiling oil was spilled, a firewood with an open flame was thrown down from the city, and in an instant there was a sea of fire, and the screams of seven or eight men in the fire were like the cries of the evil spirits of hell, so terrible that the people on the left and right could not bear to hear it.

One by one, the long ladders were pushed down, but no one was willing to step forward and straighten the long ladders again.

The rout was as simple as that. At this time in history, the Liao army fought the Song army, or the Jin army fought the Song army, which was probably the scene.

"Go back, go siege, get on!" No matter how the generals shouted, they couldn't stop the retreating crowd.

Such a rout was not actually the fault of the soldiers. It is a mistake in itself to ask a group of soldiers who have never been treated fairly, a group of soldiers who have never been really trained, to charge into battle like elite soldiers.

Jingkang's fleeing soldiers are not really not brave. Later, under Yue Fei, a large number of soldiers fled. When these soldiers are treated as they deserve, they are given the training they deserve, and they have someone who can give them confidence and conviction, they will still be able to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield. The importance of professionalism does not need to be talked about.

Cai Jing stood up violently, and said angrily: "Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death are really hateful, and those who give orders and retreat will be beheaded!" ”

Cai Jing didn't see that the general trend had gone, but he wanted to severely punish those retreating soldiers.

The Seed Master Dao had already shook his head again and again, once the rout began, where could it be stopped. But I was also glad in my heart that the rout happened earlier than the Seed Master Dao expected, but more innocent people saved their lives and did not die meaninglessly.
