Just the day before. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before dawn, Wang Shen got up as usual and ordered Mao, and after explaining today's military affairs, he went back to Xingyuan to wash up and have breakfast. He didn't know that Du Shu and Wu Tuo had returned from Jiankang Mansion, and they didn't go back to Anlu and came directly to Hunan.

The rule of early in the morning was set by him when he was building a healthy army, and the later Nanjing was in the southeast, and the dawn was early, and it was already dawning when the sun was shining. But after arriving in Jianghan, it was still dark at four or five o'clock Beijing time in the morning. However, rules are rules, and since this system has been determined, it must be implemented to the letter.

Besides, Wang Shen doesn't accept wives and concubines, he is not lustful, and he has no other hobbies except for eating on weekdays. In ancient times, when there was a lack of entertainment, every night as soon as it was dark, no more than nine o'clock Beijing time, I would go to bed to read a few pages of a book and go to bed. With such a regular life, there is no way to sleep lazy.

I recalled that when I first traveled to the Song Dynasty, I really enjoyed the days when I slept until three strokes in the sun tomorrow!

When he had just finished eating, drank tea, and watched the soldiers and soldiers practicing on the field, Yan Yuemeng led a big black fat man over: "The military envoy, this is General Niu Gao Niu, who drove all night and finally found the line." ”

Hearing his name, Wang Shen was in high spirits and looked fixedly. I saw that this was a middle-aged man in his forties. He is estimated to be about 1.76 meters tall, with a high belly and a mound shaped like a woman who is pregnant for five months. The arms were as fat as buckets, and the two big thick legs were so strong that they were huddled together. It is estimated that there are at least about two hundred and forty catties, which makes his whole person look like a huge bottle of water.

It is said that the body strength is not lost, and such a body is also in line with the image of the cow gao cow barbarian in the romance book. Most of the fat man's movements are bulky, but this cow gao gives Wang Shen a very strange feeling.

Niu Gao was wearing a neat military uniform, which looked neat and neat. It also walks lightly and gently, like a feeding cat. Wang Shen had no doubt that once this person moved, his speed would be three points faster than his own--he was simply as light as a swallow, and Sammo Hung in the cat.

Although his skin was sunburned wheat-colored, his facial features were very dignified, with slender eyebrows, good-looking Danfeng eyes, and an exquisite mustache.

If he hadn't known that he was a fierce general, if he had stayed in the house for a year and a half and had stayed until his skin became fair, he would have easily been regarded as a scholar.

When you think about it, it's actually understandable. In real history, Niu Gao was a wealthy man in Lushan, Ruzhou, a serious gentleman, and an official position as a regimental training envoy, and a local ruling class. Such a character is naturally well-read, has the means and knowledge.

As for the image of Zhang Fei, it is just an artistic processing in the novel.

Wang Shen smiled and held Niu Gao's hands and said, "I have heard the name for a long time, and I finally saw you today." This time he went to Hunan, but he had a talent in his hand, so he asked someone to bring a letter to Boyuan, and wanted to ask you to come to work. Unexpectedly, Boyuan actually came, which made people happy. ”

Seeing Wang Shen so affectionate, Niu Gao was a little uncomfortable, but also a little moved, and hurriedly said: "It is my sad responsibility to serve the country, I heard that the military envoy was recruiting Manichaean demons to recruit the last general to participate in the war, and he dared to disobey his orders." I'm afraid that the general's martial arts are low, and I'm afraid that it won't be useful. ”

Wang Shen said: "Boyuan, speaking of which, we are also fated. ”

Niu Gao was puzzled: "I also asked the military envoy." ”

Wang Shen: "My Sizhou rear army commander Kong Xian's cousin is also Boyuan, and you are also Boyuan, you say, are we destined." ”

Yan Yuemeng couldn't help but interject: "General Niu, I'm afraid that when the military envoy will raise his account, call Boyuan, and you and General Kong will stand up." ”

Niu Gao couldn't help laughing: "This is a coincidence, in the future, the last general and that Kong Boyuan will serve under the command of the military envoy, if they touch, they will be more close." ”

Wang Shen: "Bo Yuan Xiu should be humble, I also heard about the battle between you and Ma Wuyi in Jingxi at the beginning of this year, and his achievements are very great, I have sent a letter to Du Xianggong, asking the court to commend Boyuan's merits." ”

Hearing him say this, Niu Gao sighed, full of shame: "Niu Gao is incompetent, the first battle in Jingxi, heavy losses, let Na Yelu Ma Wu fight hard to get out of the encirclement, how can he be worthy of the court's commendation?" ”

Speaking of Niu Gao and Yeluma's May Day War, things have to go back to the first half of the year.

The Jin army invaded the Southern Song Dynasty in two ways, searching the mountains and inspecting the sea to arrest Zhao Gou. The Western Route Army was led by Wanyan Changsheng, and the main task was to capture the Empress Dowager Mencius, which progressed extremely smoothly, and once hit Nanchang in later generations; The commander of the Eastern Route Army was Wushu, and the strategic goal was to completely destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

The small dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty was extremely embarrassed for a time, and the emperor Zhao Laojiu was even forced to sail on the sea by Wushu, drifting for several days and nights, and only dared to go ashore after the Jurchens withdrew from the army.

After the Jurchens robbed the entire Jiangnan region, they were helpless about Zhao Gou's transfer to the wind. Coupled with the fact that the weather was getting hotter day by day, the Jin army was most afraid of the humid heat in the south, so they had to cross the river and go north before the summer came.

According to real historical records, the route of the Jurchen army's return to the north was to return to Xiangyang via Jianghan, and then go to Henan from Xiangyang.

It's just that Jianghan has become a big battlefield, first with Kong Yanzhou and Wang Shen, then Zhang Yong, Cao Cheng, Li Hong, Shang Yuan, and more than 100,000 troops fighting together.

The Jurchens returned to their hearts like arrows, and it was rare to go to this muddy water, so they changed their route from Huaixi to Henan. Among them, the fifth division of Yeluma entered Ruzhou in early April, passing through Niu Gao's hometown.

Niu Gao was originally a local tyrant, as early as after the national shame of Jingkang, in order to protect the territory and the people, he organized the township to build a dock fort to protect himself. Seeing that it was early summer, after more than half a year of running and fighting, the soldiers of the Jin army were eager and spirited, so they had the heart to ambush Yelu Ma Wu and give the enemy a little color.

As a result, Niu Gao sent 10,000 township troops from Baofeng, Lushan and other counties to raid Ma Wu's command post.

At that time, there were only about 100 people around Ma Wu, and this battle also took place in real history. According to historical records, this war horse was besieged by the regiments, and finally captured alive after the Niu Gao Department paid heavy sacrifices.

A group of Khitan brave generals became Niu Gao's prisoners in such a humiliated manner, and was finally sent to Lin'an.

Seeing that Ma Wu was captured, Wanyan Ba in real history did not dare to stay for a long time, and withdrew from Taiyuan with the main force of 5,000 in one go.

Also because of the merit of capturing Yelu Ma Wu alive, Niu Gao shook Henan, and was promoted to the Western Dao Pacification Envoy and Cai, Tang, and Xinjun Pacification Envoys at Yue Fei's request. In the fourth year of Shaoxing, when Yue Fei sent troops to Henan, Niu Gao's department was assigned to Grandpa Yue's moderation, merged into Yue's army, became Yue Fei's deputy, and became the commander of the Chinese army.

It's a pity that at this time, because of Wang Shen's birth, everything has changed.

In the battle of Jiankang, the Jurchen general Wanyan pulled away and died quickly. The Jurchens diverted Huaixi to return to Henan, and without the restriction of Wanyan pulling out the speed, Ma Wu led an army alone.

And after Yelu Ma Wu suffered a defeat at the hands of Wang Shen, he was also extremely cautious in marching and fighting, changing his arrogance and arrogance in the past, and using his troops very calmly.
