October 16, the Great Celebrity Chef.

The Daimyo's Mansion is still the Daimyo's Mansion, as the Beijing of the Great Song Dynasty, the seat of the Daimyo Mansion Road, the city still maintains its majestic momentum after many years. The city wall is more than three zhang high, and the city tower is condescending, everything is the same as it was back then.

But the famous mansion is no longer the famous mansion, it was the most prosperous city in Hebei back then, and the imperial court put Beijing to stay here, with a population of hundreds of thousands, which can be said to be a prosperous industry. But since the Jurchens seized this place, it has served as the capital of the puppet Han and the capital of Hebei, and now serves as the corner of the logistics base of the Jin army in the Central Plains.

The people in the city are no longer the villagers and elders that Xu Wei saw when they were young, at least not on the surface. All over the city, there are "Di Yi" with shaved heads, braided hair, and left clothes. Zuo legend, the country has the beauty of uniforms, so it is Chinese, there is a great etiquette, called the summer. Uniforms and etiquette are the hallmarks of the Chinese nation. But in the current Daimyo's Mansion, I can't see it.

At this moment, the Daimyo's Mansion is already in chaos. To be precise, it's been a mess since last night. The Jurchen officials and soldiers in the city received news last night that an enemy army had attacked Li Gudu, crossed the Yellow River overnight, and came to the Daimyo's mansion. The prefect of the Daimyo of the Jin Kingdom, and the head of the soldiers and horses of the Daimyo Mansion Road, is called the withdrawal of Wu, and this person's qualifications are still old. As early as when Han, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, could not go south to invade the Song Dynasty, he was a small leader of the Jin army.

Han Li broke through from Huazhou and fled at that time, and died in Hebei, when he was chased by the Xu Jiajun and turned over, he was one of the few "survivors" who accompanied Han Li to flee into Zhending Mansion. With this qualification, he was reused by the Vultures. Now he is a high-ranking official of the Dajin Kingdom in Hebei.

A few days ago, the commander of the Central Plains Battlefield, Wuyan Puluhun, also sent him news that he was going to requisition grain, grass and equipment, saying that the situation in the Central Plains Battlefield was not very optimistic, and he was preparing to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Song Army around Tokyo. It can't be so fast, the whole line south of the Yellow River will be defeated, right?

Even if Pu Luhun and Chi Zhanhui are defeated, I should always see the rout of the Jin army first, and then the Song army, right? Now I didn't see the rout on the battlefield in the Central Plains, but the Song army came instead? What's going on? Soon he guessed that this Song army did not come from Henan, but from Hedong! Crossed the Taihang Mountain and entered Hebei!

But in this way, he was even more entangled. Why? Because the Daimyo's Mansion has no soldiers to defend!

As an important town in Hebei, the Daimyo Mansion once had heavy troops, but the Central Plains battlefield was tight, and the main forces of the Dajin Kingdom were gathered in the west to guard against the Western Army and the Liao Army, so the troops of Hebei were filled in the Central Plains, and now in the Daimyo City, there are only more than 1,000 Han troops and more than 700 Jurchen soldiers, and the rest is to recruit people from all over the country.

The important xìng of the Daimyo's Mansion, needless to say, running is absolutely not okay. If you don't flee without a fight, you can't die in the Song army, you have to die in the law of the country. But if you don't run, you can only hold on, what to keep? More than 1,000 Han signed an army, and 700 Jurchen soldiers could defend such a large city?

In the former yamen of Beijing's left-behind division, the evacuation of Ukraine is gathering civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures. This man is nearly fifty years old, extremely tall, and sits a head taller than ordinary people. Bald, braided, with gold rings on his ears, and a beard that barely covers his mouth, the fierce Ben xìng has not been transformed by being a magistrate for a long time.

It's just that at this time, the old qualification in the Jin army has a gloomy cloud on his face. In front of him were more than a dozen panicked civil and military subordinates, arguing fiercely. Withdrawing from the sound of this quarrel, he racked his brains and calculated.

"We must hold on to our name and not take a step back! The supplies in the city are the lifeblood of the Central Plains battlefield. In case of loss, not only Henan is not guaranteed, but Hebei may also be threatened! To put it seriously, if we lose our name, we are afraid that people will force Yan Yun to blame! "The people of the main battle are generous and speak out.

"Who doesn't know this? The question is what to keep? Do you know who is coming? Have you heard of Xu Jiu's name? This is him! Don't you know that Xu Wei is a local of the Daimyo? He's calling back to his hometown, understand? ”

"I don't care what Xu Ba Xu Jiu, even if he is reborn as a teacher, the Daimyo's Mansion can't have the slightest mistake! We still have more than 2,000 troops, which can hold out for a while.

No matter how brave the enemy is, how can this high wall and deep trench of the great name be so easily broken? ”

"It's good, it's good, it can hold on for a while! And what about after that moment? Are we martyred? Lao Tzu is very willing to martyr the Golden Kingdom, the question is what is the meaning? When we fought it out, the Song army entered the city and picked up a big bargain in vain, and the mountains of grain and grass materials were all from other people! When the time comes, it will also cut off the retreat of the Central Plains troops, and it's all over! ”

"And if you run away, won't the result be the same? What else do you want? A fire burned these things? Let me tell you this, until now, horizontal and vertical is death, it is better to fight, maybe there is a glimmer of life! ”

"Let me remind you again, it is very likely that it is Xu Jiu who came, and this fight has been a huge problem for Dajin Guo since twenty years ago. Over the years, he started from the Daimyo Mansion, fought Hebei, Baohenan, entered Shaanxi, and conquered Hedong, adding many blockages to the Dajin Kingdom. In the past, it was still like this when it was fledgling, but now it is like the sky, let's fight with mourning? This is his hometown, can he do it with you? ”

Withdraw Wu suddenly slapped his palm on the handsome case, shocking the subordinates in the hall one after another.

"Don't say how good Xu Jiu is! The Daimyo's Mansion is a matter of great importance, and it must not be retreated! It is to fight to me alone. And you can't keep it! There are not enough soldiers, aren't there still a large number of people in the city? Give them the armor and arm them! Even the wall of people will block the city for me! Even if you stretch out your neck and let Song Jun cut it, you have to cut it for a while, right? I have already given an order to transfer troops to various states and counties to protect the Daimyo, and we must bear it no matter what! As soon as the reinforcements from Zhending Mansion came, the problem was solved! ”

As a military and political chief, his words have a decisive effect. The subordinates in the hall are no longer noisy, but everyone is muttering in their hearts, what use can you use by arming those people? Piling up the human wall is just a joke, if you really want to defend the city, you have to know how to use a bow and crossbow, know how to operate a robe and a car, and know how to order and prohibit. The people are a rabble, and when the Song army comes, I am afraid that they will be scattered!

But then again, is there any other way than that?

Soon after dawn, the Daimyo's Mansion became a pot of porridge. The soldiers of the Jin army went on a rampage and rushed to the city. The unsuspecting people were "suddenly gathered together, threw their guns and knives at you, and if you were lucky, you might be able to get a pair of armor, and you didn't know what you were going to do" and rushed to the base of the city wall.

The Jin army told them that a large number of rogues had come to invade the Daimyo's mansion. If these thieves enter the city, it must be murder and arson, jiānyín captivity! No one has any good fruit to eat. Therefore, everyone must work together to defend the city, and if they repel the thieves, they will be rewarded.

Before the men could understand what had happened, "they caught up with the city." I saw that huge crossbows were placed everywhere on the top of the city, and stones were piled up, as if they were facing a great enemy! Just because the Daimyo's Mansion has not fought for many years, and it is a logistics base, the war readiness has not been scrapped, and it has long been relaxed. Therefore, you can only sharpen the gun in battle, and if you are not happy, you will be light.

These people have no military training at all, and "when they go to the city, they are simply blinded, and they don't know what to do." After a while, there were golden soldiers to distribute bows and arrows. To be honest, although there are not many troops in the Daimyo Castle, there are enough equipment, "And the bow and arrow, if you have the strength, you can at least pull the strings apart, right?" If you can open the bow, you can shoot arrows, and when the Song army is densely pressed, you just rely on luck, you can always put down a few, right?

"Brother, what do the Jurchens mean by driving us to the city?" In the crowd, a frightened bird-like teenager asked.

"What else does it mean? There are few soldiers in the city who can't stop the rogues, so let them block it. His brother replied.

"I haven't heard of any rogue who dares to attack the city and plunder the land, is it the official army coming?" The younger brother asked again.

"Are you looking for death? Don't talk! Let the Jurchens listen! His brother said nervously.

Just as the city was urgently preparing for battle, someone suddenly exclaimed, "It's coming," and everyone looked out in unison. I saw a puff of smoke and dust rising from afar to the west, as if it was a curtain filled between heaven and earth, and there was some faint sound mixed in it, but it was not very real.

This made the people in the city sāo move, and everyone whispered sī language, discussing whether the legendary "Liukou" was coming? Soon, the "Answer" case was revealed. Under that huge cloud of smoke, an army is galloping towards the Daimyo Castle! The roaring hooves of the horses grew louder and louder, and at last, it was like thunder!

"Damn, this is all Ma Jun! Which rogue is so wide? Someone questioned.

"Can the Jurchens believe their words? According to Lao Tzu's view, these eighty percent are the officials and soldiers in the south who have taken their wives from Hebei! ”

"It's broken! If we take arrows to shoot the official army, when the official army enters the sub-city, won't we make a collaborator and rebel or something? ”

"If you shoot, you will die if the officers and soldiers enter the city, and if you don't shoot, you will die now!"

Soon, a flood of cavalry units appeared in front of the Daimyo's defenders. Just looking at it, it's terrifying! The front of you is densely packed with cavalry! Uniform attire, uniform equipment, even if it is a country man who has never seen it again, he can see that this is a regular army, and it is not a "rogue" at all. Moreover, there are people who know a few words, and they immediately recognize it, and the big banner in the "enemy army", the word "Song" on the top of it clearly shows that this is the official army of the Great Song Dynasty!

The Northern Expedition of the King Division, this is a good thing that the people have been looking forward to for an unknown number of years! But at the moment, they couldn't be happy! Because they were pushed up to the city to replace the dead ghosts, the Jin army was right behind them, and the sharp spears and blades were not vegetarian!

In front of the city, Li Chengwei hit his horse and went out of battle, peeking at the city defense. When he saw the defenders gathered in the city, this party general couldn't help frowning. It seems that there are more defenders of Daimyo Castle than he thought.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and Yang Zaixing also followed, he turned his head sideways and said, "Yang Dutong, what do you think?" ”

"Just these birds, can you block my blow?" Yang Zaixing said disdainfully.

Li Chengwei shook his head, Yang Zaixing saw this, and the iron gun in his hand stepped forward: "Don't you see that these are all counted?" ”

Li Chengwei looked suspicious again, and suddenly screamed ashamed. He was always worried about the Daimyo's defenders, and he kept this matter on his mind, so that he didn't observe it carefully. As long as you take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that although the defenders of the city are quite numerous, they are not arranged in a lawful manner, and the archers, crossbowmen, and sword players should be ranked in different positions according to the purpose of the war. But the defenders of the city were all in a group, and there was no order to speak of. If you look more carefully, you can see that the city is simply mixed. Some came up in military uniforms, and some came up almost in regular clothes.

"It's done, compared to the width of the moat and the height of the city wall, let's temporarily make a batch of equipment, rest in the morning and buckle the city in the afternoon. It's time for the brethren to gather their strength. ," Yang Zaixing understated.

"Hmm" take advantage of this gap, let's ......" Li Chengwei said.

Before he finished speaking, Yang Zaixing snorted: "I know, persuade it, if Li Dutong can persuade this famous city to open", it will save a lot of things. ”

Immediately, the two returned to the battle, and ordered to retreat for several miles, the horses did not leave the saddle, the people did not unarmour, rested on the spot, ate dry food, drank cold water, "fill their stomachs, and work well in the afternoon." At the same time, some of the soldiers were ordered to rush to make siege equipment according to certain specifications. When the cavalry attacked, it was impossible to bring all the large siege equipment, so they had to improvise simple equipment such as simple ladders and indispensable moats. In the past, the Western army attacked the city, "it was all supported by giant robes and crossbows, but now, it can only be "simplified".

After Li Chengwei rested, he immediately summoned the sword and pen officials of the Chinese army, wrote a letter of persuasion in the name of Xu Wei, and threw himself to the daimyo. The soldiers set out yesterday until now that they have come to the foot of the Daimyo, and they have not eaten properly or rested. Although the training of the Western Army is harsh, this hard work is nothing, but no matter how brave a soldier is, he is still human after all, and he is also flesh and blood.

Seeing that the Song army was a little sluggish, he withdrew from Ukraine and hurried to prepare for war. He hated to get all the equipment stored in the city to the city, but the swords, guns, bows and arrows were things that people would use, "But a big killing weapon like a giant crossbow is not something that cats and dogs can fiddle with."

A sharp weapon like the Eight Bull Crossbow "Divine Arm Bow, which often requires more than a dozen or even dozens of people to operate together" is not trained, and can only be blind. There are also a lot of robes in the city, but there are no robes at all.

I had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that the Song army had not yet attacked the city, and the assault was also trained.

For a time, inside and outside the city, they were urgently preparing for war. The people in the Daimyo Castle heard the rumors, and in the morning various rumors spread in the city, some people said that it was the "rogues" who came to invade the city, and some people said that the officials and soldiers had come to attack. also said that he had a nose and eyes, and said that he was the leader of the troops outside the city, that is, the king of Zhejun, and the city was broken only in the evening, so let's wait for the recovery. In short, the whole morning was spent in tension and jī motion.

However, this is not the case with officials such as the withdrawal of Ukraine.

At this moment, he led a group of civil and military subordinates on the way to the yamen. He held a white silk in his hand, his expression was solemn, his feet were like flying, and he asked like a cannon in his mouth, "When?" Just thrown into the city? How much did you vote? Who knows? ”

"The chief manager can rest assured that this one was picked up by a Jurchen Mengke and has not been circulated." Someone replied.

Retreat entered the lobby with a long face, and did not sit down in a chair casually, with other subordinates gathered around. I saw him unfold the white silk, on which were neatly written Chinese characters, and there was no title for the first line.

Directly is "the king of Dongguan County of Song, Shangzhu State, knows the affairs of the Privy Council, Sichuan and Shaanxi Xuanfu disposes of the deputy envoy Xu Wei, and sues the daimyo guards." "Just looking at this beginning, everyone gasped, mother, is it really him? I'm really afraid of something! The last time the Western Army entered Hebei, it was the Song and Jin Dynasty that formed an alliance to attack Liao, and this time it came again......

Then look down, "Xu Wei" said in the letter of persuasion that he led the soldiers of the Western Army into Hebei this time to recover the old land, and the name is justified, and the ghost obeys the gods. The Daimyo's Mansion, Yu Gong "was originally the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Jin people had stolen it for a long time, so it should be recovered; Yu sī, the daimyo is the land of his mulberry tree, the place where the ancestors ran their lives, and it is their duty to recover this place.

However, because he was a local of the Daimyo, he couldn't bear to see his father and fellow villagers and be affected by the war. If the battle starts, the arrows and stones fly sideways, and the jade is burned, the king can't bear it. Therefore, on the side of the net, as long as the Daimyo's defenders can open the city and return to obedience, he promises that no matter Jin Han, regardless of race, he will protect the lives of all families.

Moreover, "Xu Wei" also said in the persuasion letter that he knew that the Daimyo's Mansion had no troops to defend, and even the suppression of the people's rebellion was transferred from the Zhending Mansion. At the same time, he also warned the daimyo defenders, don't have illusions, Hedong is already in my hands, and the Jin army of Zhending Mansion can't rescue Yanyun yet, where can I take care of you?

At this point, the letter of surrender does not say cruel words, such as saying that if you don't surrender, you will do what you want. But just like that, I have already seen the hearts of all Jin Guowen and martial arts. "Xu Wei" doesn't need to be ruthless, his name alone is enough to make people frightened!

The frequency of the word Xu Wei in Jinjing is definitely higher than that of Zhao Guanjia. Since the Xuanhe period, when he became famous in the Purple Mountain, the legend of the Purple Tiger has been constantly circulating in the north. As he fought more and more, the name of the Purple Gold Tiger was simply unknown to everyone, and everyone knew it!

Now, this evil star has returned to his home with a large army, and it must be a must-win! That's not to say! He knew that the defense of the Daimyo's Mansion was weak, and he personally persuaded him to surrender, and it seemed that he really wanted to protect his "fathers and fellow villagers". What to do? Whether it is a battle or a surrender, it is all in the thought of a person......

Withdrawing Wu also hesitated, as an old qualification who had followed Han Li to the south, who else in this famous city knew the means of the Purple Gold Tiger better than him? I think that when he blocked the army of Jinguo East Road in the Purple Mountain, making the second prince look at the river and sigh, he was a witness to the withdrawal.

Xu Wei's letter of persuasion is in his hand, if Kaecheng surrenders, it may be true as the book says, and he can save the life of the whole family. If he held on to the city, he knew very well that with the strength in his hands now, he would not be Xu Wei's opponent at all! @。
